Lena found his words amusing but didn't feel like saying anything, so she just walked past Hayden.

Hayden grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the nearby wall. "Or maybe, you want to sow discord between me and Leah?"

Lena felt an unbearable itch in the palm of her hand, and she really wanted to slap him.

The CEO's elevator next to her opened at this moment. This was the first time Lena saw Hunter in a wheelchair.

Hunter was wearing a dark suit, and even though he was sitting, he carried himself with pride.

Cold, distant—keeping people far away.

His face was still as breathtaking as ever as if the very light and shadows changed wherever he appeared.

She was now pressed against Hayden, a position which could easily be misunderstood.

Just as Lena was about to push Hayden away, she heard Hunter recite a sentence.

"Employee Handbook, Article 98: Office relationships are prohibited."

She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. She had been completely misunderstood.

And yet, Hayden insi

    Lena only noticed her messy clothes but didn't realize there were marks on her neck.Her skin was already fair, and after getting angry at Hayden, her cheeks turned slightly red.Seeing no one behind Hunter's wheelchair, she quickly stepped forward."Mr. Reid."She held onto the wheelchair and said sincerely, "Are you going back to the top floor? I'll take you.""Go away.""Hmm?"She thought she had misheard.Hunter moved his wheelchair on his own and passed by her.Lena Dawson stood there, finally realizing she was not wanted.She took a deep breath. Forget it, no need to bother him.She found her desk, and coincidentally, it was not far from Hayden's office.There were several younger members in the Reid family. Although Hunter's seniority was much higher than Hayden's, they were actually the same age.All the younger members of the Reid family had to intern at the Reid Group.Hunter was born when Old Mr. Reid was already older. With his sharp mind from a young age, he was chosen ea

    It was so ridiculous that Lena was completely stunned.Lena had to apologize just because Leah cried?She found it funny. "Why should I apologize? For breathing the same air as her?"Hayden was at a loss for words, unable to come up with a response.Leah held onto his sleeve, looking at Lena with tear-filled eyes."Lena, I deserved that slap yesterday. Please don't be mad anymore. Mom was asking about you at dinner tonight, wondering when you'll come home. Randy is on summer break too. You can't keep holding this grudge and making everyone unhappy because of you."Hayden seemed to remember something. "That's right! You slapped Leah yesterday—apologize!"Lena looked at the scumbag and the fake innocent girl then chuckled. "You two must have come from the same mental hospital. Your symptoms are identical—one thinks I'm madly in love with him, and the other thinks I actually care about her cheap affection. Maybe you should go back for treatment. If you wait too long, there might be no cu

    Lena paid the taxi driver and turned to head back to her current place. But just as she rounded the corner, someone covered her nose.She struggled briefly, then heard Shane's voice."I told you before, if you make Leah angry again, I'll give you to some men. But this time, I'll skip the others. Travis has wanted you for a long time. Be ready for tonight—he's very rough in bed. I hope you can take it."As Lena drifted in and out of consciousness, she was forced to drink half a bottle of liquid.She didn't know what it was, but she felt her body heat up instantly, and the world around her became a blur.Only one thought filled her mind—if she got through this, she would make sure Shane didn't have it easy!She was tossed into a car, her head hitting something hard. The sharp pain woke her up for a moment, but soon, her mind sank into even deeper confusion.The car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel, and Lena was thrown into a room.Both Travis and Shane were Hayden's close friends.

    Lena blinked her hazy eyes, trying to look up at him, but no matter how hard she tried, his face remained blurry.She forced herself to reach out and grasped his hand resting on the wheelchair.He didn't pull away, but he also remained gentlemanly, not moving any closer.Lena placed his palm against her cheek, her breath warm as she spoke."Give me water..."It was really hot.Hunter's fingers suddenly tightened around her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Do you know who I am?"Lena didn't know. All she felt was an unbearable thirst consuming her.Even the hand gripping her chin felt irresistibly tempting.She held his hand with both of hers, pressing soft kisses from his fingertips to his palm.Hunter's palm tensed slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly turned his wheelchair away.She had been leaning against the wheelchair, so when he moved, she collapsed onto the carpet.The room was chilled with low air conditioning. She could only see him heading into the bathroom, a

    Lena had been applying ice to her face for half an hour. She heard him say, "It's getting late."In other words, she could leave now.She stayed put on the sofa, without moving. Her heart was still racing a bit. At least she felt safe here.Even though she was afraid of Hunter, it was better than going back to face whatever unknown danger waiting for her there.Shane was totally buying all of Leah's lies. He would probably use even dirtier tricks next time.Lena set the ice pack down on the coffee table and asked, "Can I stay here tonight? I can just sleep on the sofa in the living room. I won't bother you, Mr. Reid."Hunter was already heading toward the master bedroom. Seeing this, Lena quickly stepped behind his wheelchair and started pushing him without hesitation.Even though she knew he did not need her help, she was the one asking for a favor right now, so she had to act the part.When they reached the master bedroom, she spoke up again, "I don't snore. I'll just make do on the

    The Dawson family was harmonious, and everyone even started discussing where to hold the wedding.Margaret held Leah's hand, her eyes welling up with emotion."My dear Leah has finally made it through all the hardships. From now on, you two must cherish each other. Don't let certain jealous little rats ruin your happiness."Leah's mouth curved. "Mom, Hayden and I will definitely be happy."Randy interrupted again. "If Lena had given up earlier, you would have been together years ago. Why waste so much time?"Hayden kept glancing at the clock on the wall. Before he knew it, it was already 7 PM, but there was still no sign of movement outside.He turned to one of the housekeepers. "Has Lena arrived?""Mr. Reid, there's been no sign of her."Hayden snorted coldly, crossing his arms over his chest, his face filled with dissatisfaction. "She's not coming again, is she? I knew this was her trick, and she does this every time."Everyone's expressions changed from joy to coldness and finally

    Lena was planning to spike their drinks with some cheap drugs she bought randomly. But after hearing what Shane said, she changed her mind.She slowly took off the hat from her head. Her voice was calm yet laced with doubt."Mr. Gomery, are you willing to take responsibility for what you just said?"Shane had not expected Lena herself to appear here. His expression immediately changed, filled with hostility."Lena! How dare you show your face in front of me?!"Lena looked around the private room. "I've already called the police. Mr. Gomery just mentioned that Travis played with me all night last night, yet I personally have no recollection of this. So, I must have been drugged and raped by Travis. Since you claim you heard everything so clearly and sound so sure about it, I assume you'll be my witness later?"Shane was stunned for a moment, but when he snapped back to his senses, his face turned bright red.Everyone in the private room was a bunch of wealthy young men, all of whom wer

    Lena raised an eyebrow, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes. She could not believe how stupid Shane was.Saying such things in front of the police?And this was Moonlight Lounge. The fact that the police dared to show up meant they were ready to go head-to-head with power.Sure enough, the police officer immediately restrained Shane and said, "I don't care who you are!"Lena smirked, "So, Mr. Gomery, where's Travis? Where is he?"Shane had just texted Lena that Travis was in the hospital. Now, Lena was clearly trying to slap him in the face with her question.His lips trembled and he had never been so infuriated before.The police officer pressed down harder on Shane's arm, demanding, "Just tell us where the other person is!"Shane felt humiliated, with everyone in the private room who had just been flattering and praising him now watching the show.His pride was trampled on the ground by Lena!Lena! He would definitely not let Lena pass!A crowd had gathered outside the private r

    Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you! Lena, I hate you so much!"Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she reluctantly stepped back in fear of the dagger in Lena's hand.Lena squatted on the ground, looking into her eyes, "Did you really not contact Lillian?"Kianna's face changed, how could she not have contacted Lillian.Lena wanted to ask a few more questions, but she faintly saw a person standing below the small building, as if they had just come out.It was Mr. H.She quickly got up, and at the same time threw the dagger back into the car, and instructed Jovanni."You keep an eye on her, I'll go talk to Mr. H."Jovanni also noticed the man standing several meters away.

    Lena squinted her eyes and curved her lips, "So, Owen, did you know?"Since Jovanni was following her, he should have been familiar with her recent whereabouts.He indeed pursed his lips and said, "I know.""Was it him who arranged the person I had to deal with tonight?""No, it was Kianna."Lena lowered her eyelashes and said, "Kianna, that was easy to deal with."She took out her phone and sent Kianna a few strongly emotional text messages using the previous number. Kianna indeed agreed to meet up.Lena couldn't help but laugh. With a mind like that, if it weren't for her last name being Wright, she would have probably been eaten up and left with nothing but crumbs.She was about to drive away when Jovanni instantly caught up, "Why are you going alone?""I went to meet Kianna to see why she had this inexplicable hatred towards me, and I wanted to find out if Lillian had anything to do with it."Jovanni opened th

    Jovanni opened the car door and sat inside. Because the weather was too cold, the breath he exhaled was all white. He lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.Lena sat in the driver's seat, but she didn't start the car right away.She had felt several times recently that someone was following her, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.She leaned back and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning in the car. "Where is your brother Gael? Why did you come out alone?"And in the middle of the night, he even followed her. What on earth was going on?Jovanni looked out of the window, and in his mind, he recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day.The man, of course, didn't actually kill him and Gael, but Gael was detained.Gael has always been the calmest one, while Jovanni is different, he had a more volatile temper and has always been very outspoken.Although they were not blood brothers, he

    Lena had been staying in the hospital until evening. She hadn't been sleeping well recently and couldn't resist lying down by the bed and fell asleep like that.Three hours later, she was awakened by the doctor."Ms. Dawson, you go back and rest first. Don't wait until your brother wakes up and you collapse."Lena's eyelids had dark circles, and she rubbed her eyes upon hearing the words."Did his high fever not go down?"The doctor sighed and said, "Considering his own fate, perhaps there are some things he himself cannot understand, which is why he is like this. As family members, you can talk to him more."But she had no idea what Randy's knot was.She got up and, after returning home, was extremely tired and fell asleep right away.But in the middle of the night, she always felt like she heard a sound outside the window.She got up, turned on the nearby light, and saw a strange man leaning on her house window, holdin

    When Lena woke up, it was midnight and she felt like there was a furnace beside her.She quickly got up and reached out to Randy's forehead to check, and he was running a fever!"Randy!"She shouted, but he didn't respond. He had already burnt it to a crisp.Lena quickly dialed the local emergency hotline.But she had to arrive at daybreak, so she continued to add firewood to the bonfire and moved Randy closer.But even in this state, he resisted.He was curled up in a daze, and woke up once in the middle, seeing her probing his forehead, unable to help but ask, "Who are you, after all?"If he hadn't been sick, Lena would have slapped him.She forced herself to calm down and then tore off a piece of fabric to wrap some ice and snow from outside, placing it on his forehead to cool him down.Randy's face was completely red, and his hands were reaching out haphazardly to the side, as if he was trying to touch somethi

    As she approached, she fiercely slapped him.Randy's clothes were still hanging nearby, and there were many bruises on his body, indicating that the car accident had injured him, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.His face was intact, but now it swelled up instantly after being slapped, indicating that Lena showed no mercy in her attack.Lena was so angry that she grabbed his thin clothes and pulled him closer."You came all the way to this place to find you, who are you giving a bad attitude to? Speak up! What's the matter after all?"Randy turned his head away and silently stared at a certain spot on the cave wall, tears streaming down "drip, drip".Lena knew her little brother Randy well. If Randy had been wronged, he would have wanted to grab a megaphone and shout in front of her, demanding that she focus more of her energy on him. For example, if he had been humiliated by Mr. H, he would not hesitate to ask her to break up

    Lena was not going to let him have his way at this critical moment. She pushed him away and straightened her clothes."I left first."He did not try to stop her either, sitting in place and nodding very obediently.Lena's preferences for men were sometimes strange. She didn't believe that men necessarily had to be strong and powerful, like Mr. H. It was also not a bad thing for him to need her protection.She left and drove away, with her destination set to her hometown on the navigation.It took a long time to drive, and in the meantime, she ate two cookies to satisfy her hunger before arriving.She went to Dashawn's house first, and he was in the yard digging herbs. When he saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then he realized."Are you Lena?"Lena was a bit unclear about this location. If she hadn't asked along the way, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.She nodded politely and s

    She quickly turned around and walked towards the house.To my surprise, Mr. H had been standing obediently at the entrance, without moving at all. It seemed that he was unaware of the death outside.She took a deep breath and held his face in her hands, comforting him, "Something happened outside, don't go out for now. Is your doctor friend, the one from Wraith Manor?"Mr. H's eyelashes trembled, and his cheek unconsciously rubbed against her palm, showing some attachment. "Hmm.""You called him over, I needed him to help me with something."Since it was Wraith Manor, they should have been proficient in dealing with dead people.Mr. H immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come over."Lena, why do I feel a smell of blood?"Lena pulled him and sat on the sofa in the hall in the dark. "I accidentally scratched my arm just now, but it's okay."Mr. H remained silent, slowly caressing her fingertips, his t

    She stepped on the accelerator, never having driven at such a high speed before.After rushing to the small western-style building outside Mr. H's, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards the inside.The people in those cars probably didn't expect her to stop here, but they also stopped, their faces filled with excitement. This was all Lena's doing. Tonight, she was going to be killed in this place, fulfilling her employer's mission.Lena arrived at the door and entered directly using the password.As soon as she stood still, she was embraced by someone."Mr. H?""Hmm."She raised her hand and patted his back, "Do you have any handy weapons here?""Yes, I had obtained two guns from Wraith Manor earlier, but it was too dangerous, so I never used them."Wraith Manor, a place located in a lawless area, was common to have access to guns.What Lena needs the most right now is this."Okay, you gave me the
