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

    In the morning, before Lena went out, she made breakfast for herself first.This house now completely belonged to her. She no longer had to grovel at the Dawson family's feet. She still had about 600,000 dollars in savings. From now on, she wouldn't have to beg for help just to cover a 3,200-dollar medical bill.Thinking about the medical expenses, she immediately looked up Hunter's phone number and added him on WhatsApp.But until noon break, her friend request still wasn't accepted, so she could only text him."Mr. Reid, I still owe you 3,200 dollars. Can you add me on WhatsApp?"Hunter did not reply. He had always been so indifferent.Lena sat at her desk for a while. Suddenly, she saw Vivian approaching her, placing a project contract on her desk."You're required to personally oversee the agricultural assistance project in Mossfell. Pack up now and set off immediately. If you can't handle it, you're free to resign. After all, whether you're in the department or not makes no diffe

    She got into the car, and upon realizing that her travel companion was Hunter, that deep-seated fear buried in her bones resurfaced.Hunter had documents on his lap, as he spoke in a calm tone."There is more than the agricultural assistance project in Mossfell. The government announced a tourism development zone bidding just half an hour ago."Tourism development zone?The Mossfell were poor, but there was an advantage to its poverty. Its natural scenery was pristine.In the past, the authorities had hesitated to push for tourism development. Now that they had finally started to warm up to the idea, plenty of companies were eyeing the opportunity.Moreover, there were many locations between Mossfell and Westfell that could be linked together. If this entire region could be developed, the future profits would be immeasurable.Lena immediately turned on her newly bought laptop and searched for nearby attractions in Mossfell.At this moment, Lena finally understood why Hunter had person

    When Lena and Hunter arrived in Mossfell County, it was already ten o'clock at night.The local official escorted them to a high-end inn. The architecture had a strong traditional style and looked very luxurious. Upon asking, they learned that it was specifically reserved for VIP guests.Lena and Hunter's rooms were right across each other.Hunter sat in a wheelchair, and the person in charge trembled as they spoke to him. He was so overwhelmed by Hunter's presence that he couldn't lift his head. Finally, after summoning up the courage, he managed to utter a single sentence."Mr. Reid, tomorrow morning, I'll show you around the neighborhood."Hunter nodded, and the person in charge wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly left.James' room was a bit far from here. When he found out that the two of them stayed across each other, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.Now, only Lena and Hunter remained. Lena opened the door to Hunter's room for him."Mr. Reid,

    After a while, he said, "Come here."His voice was hoarse, so hoarse that it was almost unrecognizable.Lena did not dare to disobey and slowly approached him.Heat radiated from Hunter's entire body, and even the exposed skin of his neck was covered in a fine layer of sweat.The towel was no longer effective, so he slowly got up and splashed cold water onto his face, some droplets falling onto his robe."Mr. Reid, you're still sick."Hunter leaned slightly and splashed his cheeks a few times. His voice was still hoarse as he asked, "So, what do you suggest we do?"Lena was momentarily speechless. The drug Clara had given her was definitely not ordinary. If even someone with Hunter's level of self-control was being pushed to this extent, an ordinary person would have already lost control. Worse yet, there was no telling how long the effects would last.He was already sick, and his legs were still undergoing rehabilitation. If this affected his recovery, she would be a terrible person.

    She signaled to Charlotte that they could start, and the livestream was instantly started.Because it was posted on the homepage, three thousand people flooded in instantly.Charlotte hid behind Lena. When she saw so many people joining, Charlotte panicked for a moment.Lena smiled and looked at the screen. "Hello everyone, this is a live stream for agricultural assistance in collaboration with the government."What are we selling? Apples, that's it."They're indeed small, but they're very sweet, sweeter than previous years' apples. You must have heard of Mossfell, right? The apples here are very famous."Someone asked about the price. It's 1.5 dollars per 5 kilos. We don't sell in smaller quantities. If you can't finish them, you can make apple juice—it's healthy."Well, it's our first live stream, so we aren't very skilled yet. Makeup? We didn't put on any."Lena answered the questions from the viewers. As she saw Lena like this, Charlotte's panicked emotions were instantly calmed.

    "Alright! You rest up quickly!"Lena was truly exhausted, her eyelids heavy with sleep. Leaning against the side, she quickly drifted off.Charlotte only noticed that Lena's knees were covered in blood, which looked quite terrifying. However, the camera was still on, so she couldn't say anything. She could only quietly admire Lena.Lena slept for four hours. When she woke up, she heard the driver and Charlotte chatting.Charlotte's tone was anxious. She said, "Let her sleep a little longer. Those people are so disgusting, how can they spread rumors about us!"The driver was a middle-aged man who had been working for the Reid Group as a chauffeur for a long time."Charlotte, let's wake Ms. Dawson up now. If we wait any longer, all the clients will have left.""But she didn't sleep all night last night, let her sleep for another hour."The two of them spoke in a soft tone, but Lena still woke up. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, her voice hoarse."What happened?"Charlotte's

    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
