2025-03-18 15:19:05It 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 cure."
After saying that, she strode away without looking back.
Hayden was furious. Since when had Lena become so sharp-tongued?
He instinctively let go of Leah's waist and strode after Lena.
"Lena, what are you saying? Don't you like me? How could you say that about me?!"
Leah stood in the lobby, watching them leave. Her face twisted with rage in an instant.
She took out her phone and called Shane.
"Leah, what happened?"
"Shane... I..." Leah sobbed.
Shane instantly panicked. He stepped out of the private room and found a quiet spot.
"Did Lena bully you again?"
"No, it was just a slap from her, that's all. Shane, I just feel upset and want to talk to you."
"That bitch! Just wait, I'll stand up for you!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Leah's eyes, and she felt much better.
As long as she wanted, she could make any man work for her.
Lena had already reached the taxi when Hayden crossed his arms and said, "You used to never ride in a car worth less than 500,000 dollars."
Lena had already gotten into the taxi. "Hayden, let's meet at the Dawson's place tomorrow night to talk about canceling the engagement."
Hayden had looked a bit smug at first, but as soon as he heard that, his expression darkened.
"Lena, you're taking this act too far."
Lena leaned back, sitting up straight like an unyielding flower.
"I'll be waiting at the Dawson's place at 7 PM."
After saying that, she told the driver to go.
Hayden stood there, and his eyes locked onto the car as it drove away.
Just then, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, and Leah's tearful voice rang out.
"Hayden..."
"Leah, Lena said she wants to meet at the Dawson's place tomorrow at 7 PM to cancel the engagement."
Surprise flashed in Leah's eyes before she spoke with a hint of grievance, "She's said this so many times before, but when the time comes, she always finds an excuse to back out—just to get your attention. But this time, it looks like she succeeded. Hayden, are you really starting to care about her?"
Hayden felt a bit uneasy. He quickly cupped her face and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"No, I just feel like her gaze has changed—it's even more annoying than before."
Leah's face turned cold, and her lips pressed tightly together.
"Hayden, did you see Hunter at the office today? I heard he was there?"
"Yeah, I saw him. It's really strange—it's the first time he's shown up at the office since coming back."
After he finished speaking, Leah's expression grew even more intense. Her hand, hanging at her side, slowly clenched into a fist, her nails digging deeply into her palm.
"Really? Could it be because of my sister that he came?"
Hayden let out a laugh as if he had just heard the funniest joke. "You can't possibly still think Uncle Hunter has a thing for her, can you? Lena's nothing but a pretty face—what else does she have going for her? Uncle Hunter isn't interested in women like that."
Leah slowly wiped the blood from her palm, and when she looked up, her expression had softened into a gentle smile. "I was just saying it casually, that's all."
Anyway, that bitch Lena was going to die soon.

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

He withdrew his gaze and asked, "What's going on?"At the mention of it, Jordan's tone turned a bit impatient. "That brat stirred up trouble again. I've been sick of him for a while now."The group walked out of the private room.Lena had noticed something earlier. Hayden's circle was filled with the upper echelons of the elite circle.In contrast, those around Hunter were heirs from prominent families, the ones at the very core of the privileged class.They were reckless, arrogant, and well-mannered, yet also very lofty.She let out a soft sigh and went to return the clothes to Joanna.Joanna hesitated before asking, "Lena, do you really not care about Hayden anymore?"Lena changed back into her own clothes and nodded. "I've thought it through. I'm done being a pathetic fool."Joanna's eyes flickered with complexity as she put away her work uniform. "So, you really went to the Reid Group just for Hunter?"Lena chuckled and said, "No way! When I first lost my memory, I thought maybe H

If she could turn back the time, Lena would have dragged herself to the Dawson family last night, even if she had to crawl there while sick.She took a deep breath and completely ignored him.Hayden felt satisfied. He had known Lena for years, but ever since Leah appeared five years ago, everyone had naturally gravitated toward her. She was like a fragile doll, too pitiful to ignore.Unconsciously, everyone had sided with Leah, and it had become completely normal.Everyone thought Lena was just throwing a tantrum. They assumed she would go back sooner or later anyway.When the drinks arrived, everyone thanked Vivian. No one remembered that it was Lena who ordered them.Lena could not be bothered to argue over something so trivial. She focused on completing the documents in her hands.She had an appointment with a real estate agent that afternoon to look at some houses. Since she had received a free 3.2 million dollars last night, there was no reason to keep living in that rundown plac

When Clara walked out of the elevator, she happened to run into Lena, who was about to go downstairs to throw away the garbage.She hurriedly pulled up her collar and tidied up her messy hair.She didn't know that Lena had seen her in the private room last time.Lena was also a bit embarrassed. She really didn't pay attention to the auspicious time before going out. Why did she happen to come out to throw the garbage at this time? It's really...She quickly spoke up to ease the awkwardness, "Um, I parked your car in the garage, I'll give you the car keys later."Clara used to be a very calm person, but now she can't even pretend to be calm.She knew Zander's possessiveness too well.

Zander stopped talking and slapped away the hand that was rubbing her face.Clara's back of the hand was slapped painfully, but she didn't mind and instead got off the car and went to the driver's seat. "I'll take you back. You're already the CEO now, don't always go out alone. Many people are watching the Farley family, and you could encounter danger at any time."Zander sat in the back seat, suddenly feeling a bit despondent."You made me die, fine, I didn't want to live anyway.""Chirp!"The car suddenly stopped, and Clara tightly gripped the steering wheel with both hands. "What do you mean?"Zander, as if he had caught her handle, suddenly grinned and said, "So you were afraid of me dying."Clara turned around, wanting to scold him harshly, but upon seeing the madness in his eyes, she closed her mouth and only left with one sentence."I will take you back first.""I didn't go back.""Then I will take you to t

When she got up from the hot spring pool, she only then noticed the new clothes she could wear on the chair beside her.She slowly put on her clothes, sat on the chair and rested for a while. After soaking in the hot spring, it seemed like every pore had opened up and her mind had become much clearer.She took out her phone to send him a message, but saw Clara asking her where she was. It turned out that an hour had passed without her realizing it.She quickly got up and walked outside, but when she turned a corner, she suddenly collided with a man walking towards her.The man's cheeks were adorned with a silver mask, tall and imposing.Unlike Hunter's cold and dull demeanor, this person's temperament was like a unsheathed blade, as if getting even a little closer could result in being cut.Lena's nose hurt from the collision, so she quickly apologized and hurriedly entered the nearby elevator.The man did not come in, but instead wal

Lena looked at the flower in front of her and then glanced at the surrounding scenery.The scene that just flashed through my mind is here, and the protagonist inside is her.So her first time with Mr. H was here?Furrowing her brow, she lowered her head to try and recall some details, but the more she thought, the more her head ached.She raised her hand wanting to massage her temples, but a pair of slender hands pressed against her temples and slowly began to rub.Lena wanted to turn around, but the blindfold that covered her eyes fell on them again.She sighed, "Is your body feeling better?""Um."It seems it wasn't good yet, otherwise why would there be so little conversation.She did not struggle and quietly waited for him to tie the cloth before turning around and asking, "Have I been to this place before?"As soon as the words fell, the man's grip on her wrist tightened instantly, so tight that it caused he

Lena was at a loss and immediately found the villa caretaker watering the garden. She gave some instructions and hurriedly went back home.On the way, she sent several messages to Mr. H, but he didn't reply to any of them.This person used to reply instantly all the time.She was feeling restless at home and decided to go out to the gambling estate to try her luck. As soon as she left, she ran into Clara.Clara dressed up nicely today, with big wavy hair flowing freely, and a waist-cinching little black dress that showcased her figure perfectly.Lena's eyes lit up for a moment, she pressed the elevator button, and the two of them went to the parking lot together."Ms. Farley, were you planning to go on a date?"Clara flicked her wine-red hair and said, "Go somewhere to have fun, do you want to come along?""Where?""Wraith Manor."This is the estate Lena visited last time, and at that time, she overheard the gambl

Lena's knees were covered in blood as she knelt, unable to overcome the anxiety in her heart.She had been paying attention to the direction where the old man was until she saw the old man go upstairs again. Only then did she take out her phone and reply to the message.How serious was it? Did you take the medicine?The old man pushed open the door where Hunter was, his face very serious."Hunter, this time you stayed at home and rested well."Hunter leaned back on the bed and made a sound of "hmm."The old man knew that his son had always been reticent and felt somewhat helpless. "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, otherwise Lena won't just be simply kneeling down there," he said.Hunter slowly clenched his hand, which was placed on the bedsheet, as he heard Lena kneeling, but he didn't show any expression on his face.The old man saw that he was indifferent and breathed a sigh of relief.

Has Hunter really gotten this bad?If Hunter had died...A chill ran down her back, causing her to straighten up even more.After kneeling for another hour, she saw James approaching, and her eyes lit up.James was still wearing the clothes he had on for work, and he quickly placed a bun in front of her."Have a meal."Lena, who was not in the mood to eat, quickly asked, "How is Mr. Reid? Is he still not awake?"I woke up and was being scolded by the old man. I can't go in now. This time, the old man was really scared. Those few people also came over. They will probably talk for a while. The president's phone was also taken away. He might have to rest at home for several days.Lena breathed a sigh of relief, she woke up and that's good.She is really regretful now, Hunter was so good, but because of her...Her eye sockets turned red instantly, and she sniffed.James saw that she seemed like she was about to

After he left, Lena was exhausted, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and let out a sigh.She returned to the chair outside the ward and felt drowsy.Another hour passed before Lillian hurriedly arrived.Lillian was extremely anxious and would fly into a rage whenever she saw Lena."Lena, you get out of here! How come you're here again? If it weren't for you, would my brother end up like this? Get lost!"Lena didn't want to stay here in the first place, so when she heard this, she was absolutely delighted."Okay, I'm leaving, goodbye."Lillian was choked for a moment, as if a fist hit a cotton ball. In an instant, she didn't know what to say and could only angrily push open the door of the ward.When Lena left the hospital, she felt refreshed and immediately went home to change her clothes before heading to the Reid Group to report.We arrived at the top level on time, luckily without being late.She did

When Lena was sending Lauryn away from the morgue, she didn't know what to say.She had intended to help with Jacoby's affairs, but Lauryn just shook her head and then took the bus to leave.Lena could no longer hold back and could only stand in place, constantly urging."If you need any further assistance, just give me a call."Lauryn nodded at her through the bus window and then wearily leaned back against the seat and fell asleep.Lena stood still for a while and then turned to look at Hayden.Hayden had more sweat on his forehead and his lips were paler.Lena wanted to ask you what was going on, but the next second, Hayden simply fainted.She was so scared that she quickly sent the person to the hospital.
