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
Lena acted as if she had not heard a word from them and instead turned to her agent. "I just want a two-unit building. I'm not considering standalone or townhouses. Do you have any other properties available?""Yes, there's a two-unit building right near here. Would you like to take a look now, Ms. Dawson?"Lena nodded and followed the agent without hesitation.Margaret realized she was being ignored and became furious."Lena! What exactly are you doing here today? Can't you just stay out of trouble?!"She walked briskly towards Lena and grabbed her wrist. "We agreed to break off the engagement last night. You've stood so many people up, and you won't answer my calls. Now you show up here like nothing happened. Do you have no shame?!"Lena yanked her hand away, her expression icy. "Are you done, Ms. Sullivan?"Margaret was stunned, caught off guard by this form of address."What... what did you just call me?"Lena smiled at her and said, "Ms. Sullivan. Didn't I say I want to cut ties
Tonight, Lena stayed at the hotel again—still in Hunter's suite.When Lena left home in the morning, she took the room card with her. After spending the afternoon dealing with the hassle of buying a house, she was too exhausted to think. Without hesitation, she swiped the card and entered the room.She leaned against the sofa and yawned.In a daze, she heard the sound of water coming from the master bedroom's bathroom. As she looked up, she saw Hunter.He was wiping his hair, with only a towel wrapped around his waist.He was not sitting in a wheelchair now, but his feet were touching the ground. However, he walked very slowly.Lena snapped back to her senses in an instant. She immediately stood up from the sofa.Hunter stood still and wiped his hair twice casually. He glanced at the door, probably wondering how she had come in.It was the first time that Lena saw Hunter with his chest exposed. Water droplets rolled down from his neck, following the contours of his muscular body, and
Lena booked herself a new room. When she was about to lie down and rest, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from the workgroup.She opened it and found that her colleagues in the department were gossiping about her.Someone took a picture of her from the back."Why is Lena staying at a hotel?""Maybe she has plans with someone in the evening. She always has many men around her, right?""She was only able to join the company because of Mr. Reid."Lena raised an eyebrow. This group of people probably forgot about that she was also in the group.She sent a message to the group."How many men are there around me? How come I don't know about that?"The discussion within the group was originally lively, and everyone even started speculating that she had joined the Reid Group by sleeping with Hayden several times. However, when they saw Lena's message, they remembered that she had already been invited into the group.The group instantly became quiet, and Lena directly mentioned th
Lena recalled the information Hunter had given her. She remembered the relationships very clearly.Hayden's mother, Helen Kent, was a mistress who had successfully replaced the original wife. Helen was indeed beautiful, and once she had forced the first wife out, her position remained secure.However, Helen didn't come from a good family. She had two older sisters and one younger brother.A family with three daughters and one son—it was obvious what kind of dynamic that would create.Travis, the youngest son, was born when the Kent couple were already old. Their only goal was to marry off their daughters for a good price and use the bride price to buy their son a house in Westfell.Unexpectedly, their youngest daughter, Helen, proved to be the most capable. She managed to climb her way up to become a wealthy socialite, bringing the entire Kent family along with her rise.Travis, utterly useless and uneducated, ended up hanging out with Hayden. Even the scraps that fell from Hayden's f
Lena's eyes darkened as she walked out, carrying her bag. Joanna followed behind her and asked a question."Did you really want this bag?""Is there a problem?"Joanna shook her head, a touch of disappointment flickering in her eyes. She had thought..."Joanna, let's go. Let's go see my new house tonight. I'll cook us dinner."Joanna's lips twitched, and she forced a smile at the corner of her lip. "Okay."After leaving there, Stella directly called Hayden."Hayden, I heard that your uncle was hospitalized. What exactly happened?"Hayden didn't know what was going on. He only heard that Lena caused a big scene in the private room, humiliating Shane. He'd heard that Jordan had even stepped in.But Shane didn't want to say much about why Travis was hospitalized.He also personally asked Travis, who only said it was because of Lena.Lena was really troublesome, causing trouble everywhere.Hayden felt extremely irritated. He didn't really like his relatives from his mother's side, especia
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
