"Mr. Reid..."

"Lena!"

They almost spoke at the same time.

Hunter's eyes were complex, even with a hint of hurt. "It's me, what are you planning to do? Are you going to point a gun at me like you did last night?"

Lena was somewhat surprised that he seemed to care so much about what happened last night.

When I noticed that he was mentioning it now, his tone was different from usual.

She frowned and said, "You don't need to worry about what happened last night, it was unavoidable."

"Huh, you wanted to kill me, but you made me not care."

"I didn't want to kill you. Last night, you... never mind, I believe the Dawson family's situation wasn't caused by you."

She turned around to leave, but then something occurred to her, so she furrowed her brows and looked back at him.

"But Mr. Reid, you were a bit strange these past few days."

Many times he questioned her tone, as if they were not superior and subordinate.

But they were clearly just a regular superior-subordinate relationship.

    Lena originally thought that Leah was the one who set the fire, but seeing Leah's current state, she probably couldn't ask anything.After watching Leah being sent to the mental hospital, she sat down and rested outside the hospital, feeling completely exhausted.But there were still Dave's affairs to be taken care of. Margaret is currently in the hospital and Randy also needs some time to recover, so only she can handle it.In the following week, she arranged Dave's affairs very carefully.On the day of Dave's burial, it rained.Lena was wearing black clothes and noticed that Randy was no longer crying, indicating that he had already prepared himself mentally.She walked over and gently patted his shoulder.Randy pursed his lips, turned his head away, and held back the tears that were about to fall.Lena had not had a good rest for a long time. She glanced around the scene and didn't see Margaret.Why didn't Margaret come on such an important day?She was about to call Margaret when

    When Lena woke up, the sky outside had already turned completely dark.She took out her phone and glanced at it. It was nine o'clock. Wasn't Randy supposed to call her at seven?She quickly got up and took a shower, changed her clothes, and when she went downstairs, she saw several exquisite dishes on the table, along with a note left by Randy."Lena, Keon and I went to the company."Lena instantly felt relieved, believing that with her and Keon's guidance, Randy would surely become an excellent president!She put the meal in the microwave to heat it up, ate it slowly, and only then did she remember to check her phone, which seemed to have a message notification.She quickly took out her phone again and indeed saw the message sent by Mr. H."Don't break up with me..."The message was sent two hours ago, but she was sleeping at that time and didn't reply.Now she didn't know what to reply, so she just left it hanging.After finishing the meal, she drove back to her place.She didn't re

    I used to vaguely feel that he was not easily appeased, but I didn't expect him to be so difficult to please. He even has his own set of theories.She suddenly couldn't explain anymore, but instead stood up and sat right on his lap.Who needs so much theory when adults are in love? Sometimes a hug can solve everything, so there's no need to rely on words.For someone who was already emotionally fragile, words could easily be misinterpreted in various ways.She acted energetically and whispered in her ear, "You can do whatever you want tonight, okay? Don't be angry."His body stiffened, and the next second he almost wanted to swallow her lips.People were all tired, and Lena's waist was almost broken.The next day, she slept until noon before getting up. When she got out of bed, she almost knelt down.She gritted her teeth, supported herself on the bed, and slowly stood up, raising her hand to rub her forehead.No matter how he messed around, he ended up messing around until six o'cloc

    Lena often didn't know what he was thinking, so she had to repeat it again."I couldn't go to Westermarsh, sorry.""You had to go."She frowned and thought about quitting altogether, when she heard him say, "Marvin has returned.""Who was that?""Grady's younger brother, he wasn't as easy to deal with as Grady, he was investigating Grady's affairs. I took you away because I was afraid you couldn't handle the torture he would put you through."Lena squinted her eyes and said, "What does it matter to me?""Lena, he would definitely look for you, because the medicine Grady gave you back then was leaked from Marvin's hands."Lena couldn't help but think carefully when she saw how seriously he spoke.With her current abilities, she definitely couldn't afford to provoke the Reid family.And Hunter also said that Marvin was not easy to deal with, so it was safest to stay by his side.But why did you go to Westermarsh?Westermarsh was quite far away, and with Hunter being in the spotlight now

    Three hours later, Hunter's car arrived.James called Lena, but Lena pretended not to answer because Lillian would go pick up the call anyway.Lillian did go as well, and as soon as she saw Hunter, she excitedly shouted, "Hunter!"She ran towards him, and in one swift motion, she embraced his arm."I specifically applied with my grandfather, and this time I came here with you to gain some experience. You must not despise me."Hunter glanced into the distance and didn't see Lena.James quickly picked up his phone and called Lena again."Ms. Dawson, the president has arrived, have you come?"Lena pretended to yawn, "Sorry, I overslept. You guys should be settled in by now, so I won't come. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning when we go to the site together."James wanted to say something else, but the call was hung up on the other end.As soon as Lillian heard that Lena was also there, her face instantly turned fierce. Why does Hunter always bring this woman with him wherever he goes?

    Lena came downstairs and happened to run into Lillian, who was about to enter the elevator.Lillian hurried to catch up with Hunter, her face filled with anxiety. But in the moment she saw Lena, all her anxiety turned into anger."Lena! You bitch!"She was so angry that she was about to slap, but her wrist was caught by Lena.Several receptionists saw the situation here and wanted to come over and persuade, fearing that Lena would have a conflict with this important guest, and then the hotel manager would blame them again.But before they could even reach, they saw Lena raise her hand and slap directly.Lillian's head tilted, and her lips trembled several times, "Did you dare to hit me?"Lena found it funny and held her own hands. "Ms. Reid, this isn't the first time I've hit you. I've even sent you to the hospital before. How come you still haven't learned your lesson? If I were you, I would be a bit quieter."The footsteps of the receptionists came to a halt, all of them stopping.O

    Lena turned around to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by him.His fingertips were tightly pinched, causing her some pain.She suddenly shook off his hand, took several steps back, and held her own wrist.Hunter's mouth drooped, and he despondently said, "I'm sorry.""No problem, I let James in."After saying that, she quickly left to find James' room."Mr. Reid had a wound in the palm of his hand, please go to the front desk and ask for a first aid kit to treat it."But James didn't even open the door and was puzzled. The CEO was fine all the way, so how did he get the wound in the palm of his hand?"Ms. Dawson, I was working overtime and I was busy, so I'm sorry to trouble you."Lena took a deep breath and couldn't refuse. If Hunter got tetanus, she, as an employee who came on a business trip with him, would also be responsible.She immediately went to the front desk to get the medicine box, but as soon as she reached this floor, she was stopped by Lillian.Lillian doesn't pretend a

    She had two bowls of seafood porridge and then had a chat with the leader next to her about the planning scheme for this time. Both sides agreed to go to the island for a visit today. The island's hotels on this side are also a key development area.After finishing a meal, Lena put down her chopsticks and subconsciously opened the tissue box next to her, and handed it to Hunter.Because Hunter had an injury in the palm of her hand, she could only hold his hand and carefully wipe his fingertips.Lillian, infuriated by the scene, stormed over and pushed her aside."Lena, you get lost. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Stay away from Hunter!"Lena was pushed several meters away. Seeing that Hunter didn't say anything, she thought that her previous actions had offended him, so she silently took several steps back.Lillian's face was full of pride as she pushed Hunter's wheelchair and spoke to him with her head down.I don't know if it was his illusion, but Hunter's aura insta

    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
