From Lena's perspective, she could only see him standing in front of the cabinet, deep in thought.When she walked out of the bathroom, she was wearing a pair of furry shoes. At that moment, she looked down at her toes and didn't know how to start the conversation.The phone rang at this moment, it was a call from Emma."Lena, what's going on between you and Hunter? People outside are going crazy talking about it."The invitation letter for tonight was given to Emma by her, even though Emma herself didn't show up, she knew everything about it.Lena heard some noise on her end and with Hunter being right there, she couldn't answer the question, so she changed the subject."Where were you?""Wraith Manor, ah."Wraith Manor...Emma knew this news at Wraith Manor, and Mr. H, who worked at Wraith Manor, also knew it.Oh no.She quickly hung up Emma's call, hurriedly left the bedroom, and came to the hallway.She called Mr. H's phone, but there was no answer.Lena was so anxious that her ch
When Lena got into the car driven by James, she kept her head down and looked a bit dejected."Ms. Dawson, were you being taken home?"She didn't say anything, she lowered her head and dialed Mr. H's phone again, but there was still no answer.Did he really find out about tonight's event from someone else? And then he tortured himself alone in the small building."Ms. Dawson?"James parked the car by the roadside and waited for ten minutes before he saw her closing her eyes in frustration."James, do you know what Mr. Reid likes besides work, after all these years of following him?"If she liked golf, she could have been given a limited edition set of golf clubs.If she liked horse riding, she could have done her best to buy a good horse.Did Hunter always have these hobbies and interests?James glanced at her through the rearview mirror."The president did not like the job.""So, just tell me, what would make him happy if I give it to him?"James didn't speak, his hands gripping the
After saying that, his lips moved from her cheek to the side of her neck, and the action changed from a storm to a gentle spring breeze.People who have experienced such storms cannot stand this kind of gentle slowness at all."Mr. H......"The contour of her back undulated slightly with his movements, resembling a crescent moon, youthful and beautiful.Lena wanted to turn around, but she was tightly held by him around her waist and couldn't move.In an instant, the world spun around, and the location shifted from the doorway to the sofa. His aggressiveness sent shivers down people's spines.Lena felt as if something was covering her eyes, like a tie or a scarf.The small lamp by the sofa suddenly lit up, casting a dim yellow light that barely revealed a sturdy figure.She twisted her waist twice, easing the emotions that were being led.His palm landed on her thigh, and it kept moving back and forth in that palm-sized area."Did you not wear anything inside on purpose?"Lena's sanity
I got up and had something to eat, feeling lazy all over, and all the food tasted like chewing wax.When she arrived at the company and sat down, she even yawned, feeling out of sorts.Until Keon pushed his glasses and sincerely suggested, "Ms. Dawson, would you like to change into a turtleneck?"Lena was confused every morning. Upon hearing the words, she took a sip of coffee and asked, "Why?"Keon remained silent.Until her lunch break, she saw the spring-like expression on her face and the mottled marks on her neck in the mirror.Her face turned bright red in an instant, and she instinctively pulled up her collar, but today she was not wearing a high-necked top, so it didn't cover anything.In the morning, she was in a dazed state. She washed her face and went out without paying any attention to these things.She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, quickly placing an online order for a scarf, asking the merchant to deliver it as soon as possible.In the afternoon, she also had
On the other side, Kianna, who had left, remained leaning in Owen's arms."Owen, don't you know? Lillian also hated Lena very much, she wished to kill her, and you working with her didn't end well."Kianna was not valued in the Wright family, but she finally met Owen, who was said to be a relative of the Gomery family, although it was unclear what specific relation he had.That was the Gomery family, the Gomery family was willing to support Owen to take this position, it seems that they valued him quite a lot.Kianna used to rely on flattery to get in touch with those important people, in other words, she was Lillian's lackey. She used to get scolded and mocked all the time, and she always had a strong desire to get close to the influential people in the industry and be on an equal footing with Lillian.She didn't like the feeling of being looked down upon.But this circle was very realistic, so-called marriages were all about matching backgrounds. She couldn't find anyone in the Wrig
After Kianna got off Owen's car, she immediately called Lillian."Lillian, did you know? I ruined Lena's project. I saw her face turn pale, and I bet she won't dare to be arrogant in front of me anymore."Lillian had deep dark circles under her eyelids, and upon hearing these words, a rare flicker appeared in the depths of her eyes.Since the party ended, she locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink, and not going out, unable to bear Hunter's entanglement with Lena.Her eyes were swollen from crying, wishing Lena would die immediately.The nanny knocked on the door from outside, but she ignored it.Now the door was knocked again, and it was Hayden's voice that could be heard."How much longer are you going to lock yourself up?"Lillian hung up the phone, wiped her tears, and opened the door."Brother."Hayden looked at her swollen eyes and handed her a piece of paper. "What are you upset about? Hunter loves you so much, and there is a woman appearing by his side. You shoul
The old man sighed with relief and handed the phone to the butler.Lillian, who was kneeling across the desk, saw him hang up the phone so quickly, sounding anxious."Grandpa, what did Hunter say?""He didn't like Lena."Lillian clenched her fists, tears started to fall down, indeed the more she liked, the less willing she was to admit.The old man picked up the brush and was about to continue practicing calligraphy. Seeing her crying so sadly, his brow furrowed for a moment."Lillian, why are you so concerned about Hunter's lifelong matters? If you have time, please advise your mother not to make our family's dirty laundry known to everyone."Lillian slowly got up, feeling a numbness in her legs. She casually wiped her cheeks a couple of times."Grandpa, don't you find it strange? Hunter, a prodigy of the heavens, had his legs crippled in the past, but he never held Lena accountable. Is it possible that he had already started liking Lena from that time?"The old man found it amusing
Lena turned her head and looked at her, with a serious expression.Elyse swallowed her saliva and, for some reason, she was a little afraid to meet Lena's gaze.Lena's eyes seemed to see through everything.But thinking of Joanna, she gathered her courage and said, "In the future, I was going to marry Randy, and he also admitted that he would marry me. Shouldn't we live together? By the way, I should also call you sister."The title " sister " disgusted Lena.She ignored it and walked into the community.Elyse couldn't get in and stood at the gate in a state of frustration."You didn't give it to me, so I went to ask Randy. He cares about me and will definitely give it to me!"Lena felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and what made her even more distressed was that, an hour later, Randy called her and asked if she could take Elyse to the villa to be taken care of.Lena originally wanted to spend a peaceful and quiet New Year with her little brother, An. However, now she suddenly has
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
