After a moment, Hunter put down the documents in his hand. "Do you want me to remind you? I am your elder."
"Did you remember that you were my elder? Were your words last night what an elder should say to a younger one? Don't think that I didn't record it."
Hunter leaned back, "Your and Leah's wedding gift is on its way, stop fooling around."
One sentence of nonsense labeled all of Hayden's actions as immature.
Hayden's pupils contracted sharply, and they bit their lip forcefully.
"Hunter, did you have a crush on Lena from the beginning?"
Hunter didn't answer, he just shouted for James to come in and drive the person away.
When Hayden walked to the Reid Group building, he encountered Leah, who had come to arrest someone.
Leah has been feeling very upset these days. She had planned to spend some quality time with Hayden in the evening, but Hayden didn't show up for two consecutive nights, and he didn't even answer her calls.
Lena was already on her way to the old hospital, and she saw a car following her in the rearview mirror.The license plate was very familiar, it was Hayden's.This person was really persistent.She took a deep breath and drove the car at its maximum speed.Hayden didn't dare to push her, so he just slowed down and followed behind.After Lena arrived at her destination, she realized just how dilapidated the hospital was. If she had come at night, it would have been no different from a haunted house.She got off the car and immediately saw a spacious yard, where an old man was sweeping the floor.Although dilapidated, everything was clean everywhere, and the dust that fell on the walls was swept away by someone every day.She took a few quick steps and walked up to the old man's side, unable to resist asking."Grandpa, the floor is already clean. Take a rest for a while."The old man had white hair all over his head
Hayden was so agitated that he felt like he was on fire, and he was determined to expose Hunter's true identity!But soon he wilted because his family called him and asked him to go and try on wedding dresses with Leah.The custom-made wedding dresses from abroad have arrived. It was an urgent order and they were even air-freighted overnight. The hotel and other arrangements have already been made, and all the wedding invitations have been sent out.The entire Westfell knew that he was going to marry Leah.He watched the shadow of Lena's car fading away, and a momentary distortion appeared on his face.He had always been most wary of Hunter since he was young, and he was also most afraid of Hunter. He absolutely could not tolerate Lena falling into the hands of the man he despised the most.Lena was different from before, now she was very dazzling.Hayden actually regretted it. Over the years, he had always overlooked the shining aspe
Her hand, hanging on one side, was almost covered in bloodstains, and her face had a forced smile that didn't reach her eyes."No, it was all deserved. This time, I should indeed apologize to you, sister."Lena checked her bag and had to admit that her younger brother had some taste. At least she could carry this bag with her, and it was also discreet and elegant.She raised her hand and rubbed Randy's head again, "Thank you."Randy instantly felt a little embarrassed. Last time, he helped persuade Lena to admit to that thing, but deep down, he felt guilty. Now, seeing that Lena didn't even care about it, he breathed a sigh of relief.Leah walked into the room slowly, her tone still gentle, which surprised Lena.In her eyes, her sister's methods have never been able to come to the surface, so why does it feel like she was exceptionally composed tonight?"I am going to try on wedding dresses tomorrow. If you are free, you can come alon
The hall was in chaos, and Leah was kneeling and crying, looking very pitiful.Finally, Dave suddenly shouted."Alright! I did it."Leah looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. "Dad, but he will come back next time to demand it. If I don't let him release those photos, I can leave the country tonight and never come back again. After all, our family has become a laughingstock because of me, and I truly apologize to you all."A touch of heartache crossed Dave's eyes as he looked at the deranged man who had come to their door. Just by looking at this man, Dave could tell what kind of life Leah had lived with her foster parents in the past, so it's no wonder she had psychological issues.He sighed and said, "It's okay, there is still some money in the company. I am getting old now, I just hope that all of you will be fine."The man heard that he could get the money and instantly became satisfied, with a smile forming at the corners of his m
Clara held the hand of a man, whom Lena did not know, but she still politely smiled at him.Clara did not know who was in the compartment, so Lena introduced them."Let me introduce my boyfriend, Rodolfo Sanford, a university professor."Lena quickly extended her hand. "Hello, Professor Sanford."Rodolfo appeared to be around thirty years old, gentle and elegant, exuding the charm of a mature man."Hello."Lena still had to deliver the documents. Just as she was about to find an excuse to go in, she heard the same male voice from the private room speak up."Sis, why didn't you bring your boyfriend home no matter how hard we tried to screen him for you?"Clara didn't expect to see Zander inside, and her smile froze on her face.Zander had already opened the door to the private room and his gaze fell upon Rodolfo.Even Lena, who was not very smart, could tell that something was wrong.Is this sibling relation
Clara couldn't avoid it and was forced to raise her neck.She hesitated for a few seconds, as if she only just realized what had happened, and turned her head away.Zander's kiss landed on her cheek, and he persistently continued to kiss downwards, intentionally leaving several marks."Zander, enough.""Not enough, I was already very angry in the private room, why do you think you can just dump me after sleeping with me."Her chin was pinched and then she was forcefully kissed.Lena took several steps back, her face filled with astonishment.After realizing, she considerately closed the door of the private room and felt a thunderstorm brewing.After a while of calming down, she returned to the same private room.Hunter and Rodolfo sat across from each other at a table, not saying a word, but neither of them felt awkward.Seeing her sit down, Hunter asked, "Did you find the person?"Lena quickly glanced at R
Hayden said she hated Hunter, but why did she hate him?Too many mysteries had trapped her, and she rested her head on the pile of documents and couldn't help but fall asleep.She had a dream and in the dream, she heard the cries of children and the questioning of men.The dream was very noisy, like a swaying landscape painting.Nothing could be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes from a man, looking at her, looking deeply.Lena's heart gave a strong thump, and then she woke up, feeling as if all her strength had been drained from her body.When she lifted her head, she saw Lillian and Hunter.Lillian was still clingy, wanting to stick closely to Hunter.Hunter was polite to other women, but he showed a bit more indulgence towards Lillian.When Lillian passed by, she deliberately snorted twice.Lena pretended not to hear and raised her hand to start writing the report, when a glass of water was spilled on the materi
She was so engrossed in watching that she unknowingly fell asleep.And downstairs, Hayden stayed for dinner, while the chef in the kitchen was still preparing. Margaret was busy pulling Leah over to talk, asking her if she was satisfied with her wedding dress today.Leah's face didn't look very good, and she could only manage to force out a sentence."Fortunately, Mom, I was feeling a bit unwell, so I wanted to go upstairs and rest. Please call me when it's time to eat later.""Alright, go quickly. Your face was very pale."Leah got up and walked upstairs. When she returned to her room, she couldn't help but pace back and forth, thinking about Hayden's attitude towards Lena in the car. Her face became extremely contorted.We can't wait any longer, we must take action immediately.She took out her phone and made a call to the other side."Tomorrow, I had Randy take Lena out, and I arranged for someone to kidnap Lena. This time,
She immediately thought of the drink, but with such a big party, it was not easy to accurately deliver the alcohol to her hands.Her gaze searched the scene and soon spotted a familiar person, Hayden.After seeing her, Hayden also immediately walked over."Lena, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?"Lena opened her mouth to say something, but a surge of heat suddenly rushed up, as if her skin was being bitten by countless ants.That kind of itch seemed to overflow from the deepest part of the bone, and just scratching it lightly couldn't relieve anything at all.She lowered her eyelashes and shook her head.Many of the people who came tonight were insiders. If she got involved with Hayden in front of everyone, rumors of her being a "licking dog" would immediately spread like wildfire.She instinctively turned around, wanting to find a place where no one was and hide.But Hayden raised his hand and grabbed her wrist."Lena, what's wrong with you? If you're not feeling well, I
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lena appeared at the entrance of the charity gala on time with the invitation letter.As soon as she got off the car, she saw Lillian, who was dressed exquisitely and beautifully.Lillian didn't expect to see Lena here, as she shouldn't have received an invitation letter.Lena did not greet her and handed the invitation to the staff next to her, then walked in gracefully.She didn't dress so flamboyantly tonight, wearing a black sequined mermaid skirt, paired with a silk blouse that perfectly cinched her slender waist, making her look like a mermaid that had just come ashore.Lillian stood still for a moment, not rushing to find trouble, but instead made a phone call to Hayden."Bro, are you really not coming over? I saw Lena at the party."Hayden's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled, "I came over now, Hayden, don't go looking for trouble with her anymore."It seemed as if all the men in the world were doting on Lena, and this was something Li
Lena, upon seeing Lillian again, lost all appetite and went straight to take a shower before lying in bed to sleep.The next day, she woke up and went to the company. After having a meeting with the senior management, her attention was drawn to a project recently launched by the government.This project could only make a profit of one billion, so those big companies wouldn't come to compete.Her fingertips tapped on the project and she looked at Maxwell beside her, asking, "Who was in charge of the government bidding for this project?""He was recently promoted and tonight he is going to attend a large charity event, it seems that the Gomery family is the host."The Gomery family had a relatively strict family style, as many members of the family were involved in politics.Mr. Xie and Cayden were almost the top leaders back in the day. After both of them stepped down, the younger generation gradually started to emerge.The Gomery family's Jordan was the new heir, managing companies th
Her lips trembled several times, her eyes seemed to devour Lena alive, fiercely and menacingly like an evil spirit.Lena frowned and saw a floor covered with flowers, which made her very angry.Lillian pursed her lips coldly and then said deeply."You wait for me."After saying that, she turned around to pay, and asked someone to send all these plum blossoms to Palm Bay.Lena stood still and instantly felt a complete absence of any emotions.Clara patted her shoulder."Pay more attention during this period, I felt that she was not quite normal."Lena tugged at her lips, far from normal, she felt like she had been chased by a mad dog.Taking a deep breath, I decided not to buy flowers anymore and just planned to go home with the little bit of food I was carrying.Lillian arrived at Palm Bay with a bunch of plum blossoms in her hands and happily handed them to the servant."You all be careful and put these plum blossoms in a good vase."The servant couldn't help but say, "The best bottl
When the car stopped in Westfell Palm Bay, she got off first and then reached out to help him.Hunter's hand curled up fiercely, as if it had been burned by something.Lena was a bit speechless, thinking to herself that when you were confused in the car, you were still holding her hand tightly, but now that you're sober, you're being picky.She took several steps back, signaling the others in Palm Bay to help.Hunter was helped out of the car, still holding the plum blossom in his hand.Lena's heart suddenly softened, well, considering that he did indeed share the same taste as Mr. H."Mr. Reid, then I will go back first. Remember to take your medicine and don't strain your body.""Hmm."He had already been pushed in, without looking back.Lena also didn't want to stay here and see his expression, so she just left.This place was not easy to catch a taxi.In no time, a car was driven out in Palm Bay, saying it was going to take her back.She did not refuse, after all, it was still sno
In Hunter's sight, a thin figure approached from a distance, and because this world was too white, the red she held in her hand appeared particularly eye-catching.When Lena got on the car, she first brushed off the snowflakes from her hair.Then I closed the car door and handed him the folded plum blossom.Hunter didn't answer, but instead looked at the faint traces of snow on the petals.Lena thought he was afraid of the cold, so she raised her hand to shake off the snowflakes. However, she heard him ask, "What if this tree has an owner?"Almost instinctively, she answered, "Take it off for you, and its owner will be you."Hunter was about to reach out, but upon hearing these words, his hand clenched instantly, and the veins on the back of his hand tightened.Lena, who had originally just blurted out the words, quickly asked, "What's wrong?" when she noticed that his expression didn't seem right.He lowered his head and made a "hmm" sound, took the plum blossom, and didn't forget to
The heavy snow was still falling outside the window, not far away was a wasteland, and in the distance, there was a hazy gray sky that seemed endless.Hunter's fingers intertwined with hers, the warmth of their palms resembling a simmering volcano of silence.Lena also didn't want to blame the patient, as he said, let him be.Time passed slowly, and the heat on his body did not decrease but instead increased.She finally couldn't sit still anymore and had to feed him water.He slowly opened his eyes, with a mist in his eyes, as if he had no idea what had happened."Mr. Reid, James also didn't know where to go. Let me drive you back first. Although the place you live doesn't have medicine, at least it will be more comfortable to lie down there."Hunter slowly loosened his own tie, as if it had become unbearably hot.Lena quickly covered his collarbone and re-tied his tie.Hunter was always meticulous in his daily life, even buttoning up the top button of his shirt.She lowered her head
Because he was a patient, Lena couldn't be too heartless, so she didn't do anything and let him hold onto her.She saw Hunter, who was so fragile for the first time, and thought that he was unattainably strong. However, she didn't expect that after falling ill, he would also cuddle up in a woman's arms.His body was very hot, as hot as a fireball.Lena suddenly remembered a few days ago when Mr. H fell ill and lived alone in that dark little building.He was completely different from Hunter. When he got sick, he wanted to hide himself, licking his wounds in solitude.But Hunter doesn't seem to have deliberately hidden these?She didn't know if her feelings were right, and she didn't dare to move at all.Three hours later, the car stopped at the destination.Lena looked at the ruins outside and a wave of anger surged within her."James, are you sure it was here?""Hmm."She was so angry that her chest trembled several times. "This place has turned into a ruin, you can't even tell where
The next day, she woke up very early and felt that the body next to her was burning hot.She quickly propped herself up and reached out to touch his forehead, "Mr. Reid, you had a fever!"The fireplace in the room was burning all night, and the temperature was very comfortable. How could he suddenly have a fever?Hunter slowly opened his eyes and made a sound of "hmm".Lena was extremely worried. Last night, when the two of them went to sleep, they only took off one jacket.She quickly grabbed his coat and put it on him."I'll freshen up quickly first, and then I'll go ask the front desk if they have any medicine."She helped him to wash up, and accidentally touched the skin between his wrist with her fingertips, which was scorching hot.Hunter's entire face was red, with drooping eyelashes, making him look like a sickly beauty.Lena quickly finished washing up herself and pushed him downstairs.She ran to the front desk and asked, "Do you have any medicine? We have someone with a fev
