Hunter closed his eyes, his eyelashes drooping, in an attempt to calm his restless body.

Lena also didn't do much quietly, she slightly turned her head and saw this side face leaning on her shoulder, it was hard not to be amazed.

He was extremely good-looking, almost unreal, and now the two of them were unexpectedly so close.

His skin was very good, his features were deep, God really favored him.

Her mind was filled with random thoughts.

A few minutes later, Hunter released her waist smoothly.

Lena quickly explained, "Mr. Reid, I knew this was a normal reaction for a man, I wouldn't think too much of it. If it were anyone else here today, you would have reacted the same way. The atmosphere was indeed quite exciting."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp gaze fell upon her face.

The warm atmosphere that was just there a moment ago suddenly turned extremely cold, as if the air had transformed into sharp blades, as if they were going to pierce through her entire body.

She realized k

    Dave used to not care about Lena's affairs, as they were just petty jealousy and minor quarrels between children.But this time, involving the company's interests, he could no longer stand by and do nothing.He immediately made a phone call to Lena.Lena had previously blocked both Margaret and Randy, but she had forgotten to block her supposedly father.Seeing the flashing message, she was somewhat surprised and pressed the answer button. On the other end, Dave's voice came through."Lena, what were you doing?"This was a tone of questioning and seeking punishment."Is there something wrong?""Something's happened! Why did you have to cause trouble over at Mossfell? Now Leah's car is surrounded by those farmers, and since they can't find you, they're taking it out on Leah. I didn't care how you messed with me before, but this time Leah was representing the company. Only if the agricultural assistance mission is successful, can the company get a share in the tourism development. Are y

    The person in charge took a deep breath."Ms. Lena has already sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of apples from Stonemarsh. The CEO of the Reid Group also took an interest in a few locations in Stonemarsh and decided to develop tourism there. Initially, we had two locations in Mossfell that were shortlisted, but Ms. Dawson's ten million dollars satisfied the farmers' appetite. They believed that the Reid Group had unimaginable wealth, so they directly offered a billion dollars to secure those two locations. However, the Reid Group declined the offer, and now both locations in Mossfell have been kicked out of the development zone."Leah heard the leader blaming herself, but she didn't get angry, she just pretended to be weak and leaned on the side."Sorry, I had intended to use ten million to minimize everyone's losses, not to break the contract with my sister or to consider that it would fuel their greed."She seemed very innocent when she spoke, but upon careful reflection, when L

    Lena had just woken up when she heard a noise outside.Her fever still hadn't gone down, and she had lost five kilograms.When she went out, she saw Charlotte running excitedly towards her, grabbing her hand and quickly walking out."Hurry, hurry, hurry! There are many fruit farmers outside looking for you. They said they want to give you a banner!"Lena was a little surprised, a banner?She was pulled to the hotel entrance and saw a bustling crowd standing outside. Leading the group were those few young people.Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, as if it was New Year.She was still a little confused, and then she saw several fireworks exploding in the air."Lena, this is everyone's heartfelt gesture, you must accept it, we have all signed it.""We heard that a big boss has set his sights on this piece of land and wants to develop it. Many of our properties have been targeted. In the future, when you come to Pinedell County for tourism, it won't cost you a penny. We will de

    Leah's chest heaved with anger as she maliciously glared at Lena, who was surrounded by people.Lena was surrounded by Hunter, whose temperament was too cold for anyone to dare to stand in front of him. Everyone stood behind him.There was only one Lena beside him, as if the two of them looked the most compatible.Leah's hand on the side slowly clenched, with the taste of blood in her mouth.She had previously vowed to take away all the happiness that belonged to Lena, but now everyone is praising Lena, making herself look like a clown jumping around.Dave stood by her side, still holding his ground, waiting for Lena to approach him and start a conversation.As the photo shoot was about to end, the journalists were about to leave, and Lena showed no intention of coming to greet him.Dave couldn't hold it anymore until the person next to him reminded him."Dave, don't you say anything to your daughter? How come she is representing the Reid Group? If she was representing the Dawson Grou

    After spending another two hours with this group of people, Lena finally got into Hunter's car and planned to return to Westfell.But all the people of Stonemarsh stood outside, their faces filled with reluctance."Lena, when we have developed it over here, you must come and take a look.""My family received several tens of millions of resettlement funds this time. I will go to Westfell to buy a house and then come to see you.""Daughter, is the wound on your back better now? Last time, I was impulsive and shouldn't have hit you with a rake."With the car window wide open, the voices of the fruit farmers could be heard. Although they had only spent a few days together, they truly didn't want to part with Lena.No one had ever been able to pull the Stonemarsh apple out of the mud, and it even turned this place into a tourist development area.Decades-old grudges finally came to an end at this moment, and they no longer had to care about the people over at Mossfell.They had already wan

    Lena's footsteps didn't stop at all, and she went straight back home.Margaret sneered, knowing that sooner or later she would return to the Dawson family. It remained to be seen how long she could pretend this time.The next morning, Lena went to the Reid Group to report.She lost a lot of weight during her one-week business trip and just ran into Hayden as soon as she got off the elevator.A trace of disgust flashed in Hayden's eyes as he pretended not to see her, intentionally walking a few steps ahead of her, thinking that this would make Lena sad.But Lena didn't say a word, and didn't give any feedback to her colleagues about the schedule of the task.She completed it very successfully, and the email for a salary raise has already been sent.Vivian heard that she had received a salary increase just by completing a farming task, and she rolled her eyes. During the lunch meeting, she couldn't help but start attacking."I hope everyone in the department will also work harder. After

    Lena's gaze remained on her phone.The next second, the phone was snatched away by someone, and Hayden was so angry that his chest was heaving."Who are you chatting with so obsessively? I was asking you a question, are you blind? Someone wants to take advantage of me."Lena's face didn't look good. She opened her hands and said, "Give me back my phone."Hayden felt even worse in her heart because her attitude was so cold, making it seem like he was chasing after her.But between them, wasn't it always Lena who made the first move?Why didn't she seem like she was pretending this time?A moment of panic crossed my mind, but I remembered how Lena had been willing to jump into the river for him in the past, and love doesn't just disappear so easily.She was definitely pretending not to care.His lips curved into a smile as he raised his phone high. "Lena, I must admit that your little trick this time really got to me. Did you find someone to help you come up with this plan? You've truly

    Lena had no strength to struggle, and the fresh blood kept flowing down her forehead.The man had already torn open her blouse and was about to proceed further, but suddenly felt a strong force kicking him forcefully.He was kicked and sent flying, his back hitting a sharp edge, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.The door of the men's restroom had already been closed, and Jordan, dressed in all black, stood outside, lighting a cigarette. He said to the others who were about to enter the restroom, "Go somewhere else, there's a private matter that needs to be resolved here."Jordan was already not someone to be messed with, and now with his narrow phoenix eyes, he looked even more intimidating.After someone recognized him, he got scared and quickly left with his friends.Jordan took a puff of his cigarette, leaned against the wall, and didn't forget to give instructions to the people inside."Your leg was still undergoing rehabilitation, be careful."Hunter was squatting nex

    When Cayden heard that Hunter was getting closer to Lena, the smile on Cayden's face faded slightly, but he still said, "Hunter, that child never lies. If he says he doesn't like Lena, then he doesn't like her. From childhood to now, he has never liked anything. Maybe it's just not the right time for them to meet."Anthony slowly placed a photo on the table.This was the party where Lena sat on Hunter's lap, and there was a photo of them kissing.Even the photos were there, indicating that he had made preparations before coming."Sir Reid, Hunter has grown up and may have his own ideas now. If Matilda were still here, their children could be running around by now. Unfortunately, as an elder, I shouldn't be concerned with Lena, who is a distant relative of the Wright family. However, because she lost one, I have to care, no matter how broad-minded I am. Hunter is a child I have watched grow up, and I don't want him to go astray."Families valued the

    Marvin thought that today was going to end like this, but Hunter took out his phone and made a call to the old man."Father."Cayden recently started meeting guests, and at the moment, he is playing chess with the old man from the Wright family."What happened?""I saw Marvin on the street, he was injured a bit, so I brought him to the hospital."The old man's hand paused on the chess piece, his tone was very calm, "Is it serious?""Not serious, but unable to attend the dinner tomorrow evening."Marvin sat on the side, watching him speak nonsense with his eyes open.In the Reid family, the grandfather was the most authoritative figure, and no one dared to lie in his presence. However, when Hunter said these things, he didn't even blink."Not serious is good, the body is important."After hanging up the phone, Hunter looked at Marvin and said, "You take another two months off, and don't show up at the Reid Group an

    After Lena returned Tyson, she called Mr. H, but he didn't answer.She worried that he might be sick at home again, so she sent several messages in a row.He used to reply instantly before, but this time he unexpectedly replied after half an hour."I was busy, had a few things to do."Lena quickly called him again, and he answered, but his voice sounded a bit off."Mr. H, were you sick again?""No, Wraith Manor has become very busy lately."She didn't know about Wraith Manor and thought that the place was like a company, where employees would be given time off.She took a deep breath, and by that time the car had already stopped at the entrance of the supermarket."Will you still have dinner with me tomorrow night? I don't know if you will be available."There was silence for a few seconds on the other side, and then a sigh, "Let's talk later, I am really busy."A touch of disappointment crossed Lena's eyes

    Randy did not catch the hidden meaning behind this sentence, he just stared at Tyson in a daze.Tyson seemed to have a feeling, he turned his head and glanced in that direction, then continued to smile at Lena.The two of them also didn't know what they talked about afterwards, they stood up together and walked towards the outside of the hospital.They were just like real siblings.Randy pulled the curtains of his ward closed and slowly sat down by the bed.Elyse was no longer in the ward at the moment. She went downstairs and called Joanna, asking her what her plans were.She had previously threatened Joanna that if she didn't help her find a way to get rid of Lena, she would immediately betray Joanna.Joanna's tone was neither fast nor slow."Elyse, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I will ask Lena who she is going to have dinner with. She either wants to go with Randy or spend time with her mysterious boyfriend. Do you know what t

    When she was being sent out the door, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Mr. Reid?""It's nothing, just got stressed out, and also haven't been resting well lately."She took a few steps forward and then stopped, "Still having insomnia? I can stay here tonight and leave in the morning."James stood in front of the car and, upon hearing the words, took a deep breath. "Ms. Dawson, take care and have a good year."This was a polite refusal.After Lena got on the car, she didn't go home, but went to the entrance of Randy's hospital room.Throughout the journey, her mind was in a state of confusion, unable to see through Hunter's intentions, so she felt a bit irritated.This kind of irritability was instantly magnified when seeing Randy, who was silent.Randy had already woken up, the fever had subsided, but he didn't call her, and now he was quietly eating the porridge that Elyse had fed him.Lena had many things s

    Lena sat in Hunter's car, feeling somewhat uneasy for no apparent reason.Since Kianna's death, she felt like she had fallen into a trap.The car stopped in Palm Bay, and she didn't get out. After thinking for two minutes, she finally asked, "Mr. Reid, are you going to personally interrogate Kianna?"Emmett had no intention of letting her go tonight. Now that she has been brought here, does it mean that Hunter has something to ask?She couldn't understand it.Hunter's wheelchair had touched the ground. Upon hearing these words, he paused for a few seconds and then silently continued moving forward.Lena had no choice but to follow.She hesitated for a moment at the door of his bedroom and then slowly walked in.The bedside of the bedroom still had those plum blossoms, I don't know what technique was used, but surprisingly they are still fresh until now.She had intended to ask, but she heard his phone ring.His fa

    There were only the two of them in the room, and Emmett happened to dislike her. Lena suspected that if she said something that made him uncomfortable, he would pull out a gun and kill her on the spot."Mr. Wright, do you believe me when I say that this matter had nothing to do with me?"A hint of amusement flickered in Emmett's eyes as he used a cigarette to lift her chin."You don't have the memories from before, so you probably don't know that this is not the first time the Wright family has died because of you. The Wright family has given the order to make you pay the rightful price, so regardless of whether you are involved or not, you have to..."The words were not finished yet when the door nearby was knocked by someone.Emmett looked up and saw Hunter.He thought he was having an illusion, how could Hunter appear in this place?Hunter sat in a wheelchair, his gaze falling on the cigarette in his hand.The cigarette ligh

    Lena didn't say anything. Last time, she had asked Mr. H's friend to help with the body, but Kianna wasn't the kind of person who could just disappear easily.Although she was not popular in the Wright family, she did make an appearance in front of so many people.If she went missing, the Wright family would soon investigate.Lena felt troubled, always feeling like everything was a big web, as if someone was pushing it.Jovanni's tone became cautious, "Lena, it really wasn't me."Just as Lena was about to comfort her, sirens suddenly blared around them.Several police cars stopped around her, and they immediately handcuffed her with silver handcuffs.The whole process took only five minutes. She wanted to say a few words to Jovanni, but the police forcefully took her away.Jovanni stood in place, watching as the body was also taken away, feeling a chill run down his spine.Realizing what had happened, he immediately walk

    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.
