She got so angry that she bit his tongue hard, and when she heard him "hiss," she backed away.The lights in the hall also came on at this time, and the darkness lasted for less than ten seconds.Valerie asked the servant next to her, "What happened?""Madam, it was just a problem with the line."Valerie looked up and saw her son, who was supporting his head with one hand and leisurely covering his mouth."Zander, why were you laughing?"Clara remained calm, but her heart still raced when she heard Valerie ask Zander.Zander raised an eyebrow and didn't let go of his mouth, "It's nothing, just fed my sister a slice of orange."Valerie's gaze shifted back to Clara.Clara knew that Zander was a troublemaker who loved to stir up trouble. The Farley family had always doted on him since he was young, and even she had always spoiled him. He had the power to command the wind and rain, and he was definitely a little tyrant who feared nothing.Valerie picked up an orange herself, "This orange
Before he could react, Zander was already standing in the bathroom.Clara slowly sat up, then realized she was still in the bath. She took a deep breath and regained her composure."Go out."Zander took out the key and shook it in his palm, "You haven't been coming home, so I got a key to my sister's bedroom, so the deadbolt is useless."He threw the keys onto the sink, walked to the edge of the bathtub, and squatted down.Clara was about to speak when footsteps were heard outside, followed by Valerie's voice."Clara, the hot milk has been brought in for you. Drink it after you have finished bathing and then go to sleep."Clara's mouth was covered, staring at Zander.Zander leaned in and took a bite on her collarbone, licking off the water droplets on it. "I let go of you, call or don't call, I don't care anyway."He was never afraid of anyone in the Farley family.Clara raised her hand in anger and slapped, but her wrist was intercepted in mid-air.Zander bit her fingertips, one afte
Clara is now in a difficult situation, she did not expect Zander to be so crazy.In his world, there was nothing he couldn't get, and he had never experienced any setbacks since he was young.She took a deep breath and said to Valerie outside, "Mom, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. I am a bit tired and plan to go to sleep after taking a bath."Valerie sighed, knowing that she had a knot in her heart because of moving out.There was no way around it, they would make the same decision again, Clara was obedient, but she was not of the Farley family's bloodline."Alright, Clara, your father and I will make the decision about your marriage with your boyfriend. Once you get married, no one will maliciously speculate about you anymore. If you and Zander go together, people won't gossip about you anymore. We have already chosen the date, let's discuss it tomorrow morning. If you agree, we will handle everything for you, your father and I."Clara's legs were wrapped around Zander's waist,
Zander had learned various business interpersonal skills since he was young, and immediately realized that she was just using those people as long-term meal tickets.He had long known that beneath Clara's proud appearance, there hid an imperfect facade.For example, she has always been adept at handling relationships between men and women, which has captivated people and made them dizzy, but they still think she is aloof and innocent.After seeing through that layer of relationship, he became very angry. He grabbed Clara and scolded her for getting too close to her male classmates, neglecting her own brother.How did Clara respond to him at that time?Zander suddenly realized everything about her, and he remembered it all so clearly.She wore a youthful and beautiful school uniform, crouched down, and raised her hand to rub his head."My younger brother is definitely different from others. Why did Zander suddenly come to school to find me?"Little Zander had a stern face. He had been
Clara pushed his hand away and was about to say something when the phone next to her rang. It was Lena calling.Her heart tightened at first, but when she saw the flashing message clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to answer the phone.Zander snatched the phone and threw it away, then he turned her face and started kissing her again."What phone call are you taking? You are putting all your attention on me."Lena noticed that no one answered the phone and became worried. She remembered the incident with Clara and Zander and had a feeling that things might not be going well on her end tonight. She wanted to ask her about it.But no one answered the phone, so she could only send a message."Are you okay?"It was not until the next day that Clara replied, with just two short words - "No problem."Lena really thought she was fine.When Keon came to the door, she gave him two boxes of fruits.He placed the documents on the coffee table. "Ms. Dawson, Owen and Kianna
"Okay, when we discuss the next project, I will make sure to take the time to recover my memory."Lena agreed to this and then left with the gift box.She arrived at the hotel and had just turned the corner when she ran into Jordan at the door of the private room.Jordan seemed to have just come out of the box, her gaze swept over her for a second, then she withdrew it and left.Lena was a bit puzzled. This private room was booked by her, so how did Jordan come out from inside? Could it be that Hunter has already arrived?She pushed open the door of the compartment and indeed saw someone sitting inside.Hunter held the menu in his hand, seemingly pondering what to eat.Lena had already arrived here half an hour early, but she didn't expect Hunter to come even earlier!The person who was supposed to apologize actually arrived late.There was a hint of apology on her face, "Mr. Reid, did you come so early? Is there something you need to discuss with Mr. Gomery here?"Otherwise, how woul
The action of the lapel pin brought the two individuals closer, even though she had been trying her best to maintain a polite distance, in that instant of leaning in, she still felt Hunter pulling away.She quickly turned around and sat up straight, "Mr. Reid, let's have a meal, I guess you're hungry too."Hunter watched as she wiped the cutlery, raising his hand to slowly touch the brooch, which still retained her warmth."Hmm."His mood visibly relaxed, and Lena also breathed a sigh of relief.Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly heard Kianna's voice from outside.She chose this place today to come and watch the play.The next compartment.Jordan came here to meet an important business partner, but now it has been ruined by the intruder Kianna.The Gomery family company had other people present, and Kianna directly pushed open the door of the private room."Mr. Gomery, my boyfriend was the illegitimate child of the Gomery family, and he is your half-brother. Why don't yo
Lena lowered her head and ate with a fork, while her mind pondered on a strategy. If Jordan were to bother her, how could she escape?Jordan was ruthless and no one could withstand his seriousness.Of course, she didn't forget to pour tea for Hunter. "Don't worry, I was fully focused on how to apologize to Mr. Reid.""You always used to lie."The sound of tea being poured into the cup made Lena notice that he used the words "all along," indicating that she had already lost credibility with Hunter.She solemnly placed the teapot down and both of them put it on their laps."Mr. Reid, I am sincerely apologizing today. The incident at the party has caused significant damage to your reputation. Except for breaking up with my boyfriend, which I cannot do, you can freely propose any other conditions.""Lena."His tone, though light, was full of warning.Lena had a feeling of being called out in class by the teacher when he suddenly called her by name, and she quickly sat up straighter.Hunte
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
