2025-03-18 11:24:06Nearby, Lena underestimated the acceleration of the electric scooter and suddenly rushed forward, crashing directly into someone's car.
She fell to the ground, scraping her knee and wincing in pain.
The owner of the car got out and cursed furiously, "Do you even know how to ride? Are you looking to die? What bad luck! This is a brand-new car, fresh from the dealership! Pay up!"
Lena glanced at the car logo and found it was a Maserati.
Oh no, her 1,600 dollars was definitely not enough to cover the damages.
A crowd quickly gathered around. Everyone was curious to see who was so unlucky to have crashed into a luxury car.
The man grabbed Lena's sleeve and said, "You better compensate me right away, or I'll call the police!"
She changed her posture, relieving the pain in her legs. "Is 1,600 dollars enough?"
The man thought he had misheard, and his face immediately turned red with anger. "How is that enough?!"
Meanwhile, the traffic light on Hunter's side of the road had already turned green.
Hunter glanced in that direction again. His aura was cold, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.
James was about to step on the accelerator when he heard Hunter say, "Go take care of it."
James' hands instantly tightened on the steering wheel, and his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still got out of the car.
The temperature outside was very hot, and Lena's forehead was already covered in sweat.
She was thinking about who to ask for help when she saw a young man approaching, speaking in a businesslike tone.
"Call the police first. How much is it? I'll help her with the compensation."
The man whose car was hit originally wanted to curse loudly, but when he saw James getting out of a limited-edition car worth millions of dollars, his heart trembled instantly.
There was no other car like this in Westfell. He couldn't afford to offend the owner.
He also couldn't be bothered to wait for the police. "Give me 16,000 dollars. Just transfer it to me."
James transferred the money and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lena.
Today, Lena wore a sporty casual windbreaker, which made her legs look long and her waist slender. There was a cute little mole on the tip of her nose. In contrast to her cool appearance, this little mole added a touch of warmth.
"Um, I don't have that much money to pay you back for the time being."
Her gaze turned towards the car nearby. She kept feeling like there was someone inside.
James waved his hand and said, "No need to pay me back."
His face was full of impatience. It was clear that he didn't want to say anything to Lena at all.
Lena walked towards the car. "Can I have your contact information? When I have money, I'll definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
Contempt flickered in James' eyes. This woman was putting on an act, pretending not to recognize him, claiming not to have money now.
Would a daughter of the Dawson family really not even have 16,000 dollars to spare?
He couldn't be bothered to play along with her charade. The corners of his mouth lifted in a cold smirk. "Ms. Dawson, too much acting will only disgust people. As I have said, you don't need to pay me back. Next time you see our car, just stay far away. You reek of hypocrisy and bad luck. Don't bring misfortune our way."
Lena was somewhat surprised. She had lost her memory and couldn't remember who this person was.
But since he disliked her so much, why did he come out to help her?
She lowered her eyelashes and thought about something, then smiled a little. "If you hate me, I should pay you back even more. Please give me your contact information. If you don't, I'll go ask the person in the car. I need to know how to reach you."
James was never going to let her meet Hunter. He wrote a string of numbers with a disgusted expression on his face.
Lena received it, bowed solemnly with an elegant posture, and said, "Thank you."
James was stunned. In the past, this person used to look down on everyone and was extremely impolite. Had she turned over a new leaf?
As he thought about it for a few seconds, he chuckled again. It was probably because of some new tricks she had come up with to pursue Hayden.
Who in Westfell didn't know what kind of person Lena was? She was simply despised by everyone.

He couldn't be bothered with this woman and turned around to get back into the car.Holding the handlebars of the rental electric scooter, Lena stood still and watched the car drive away.In the car, Hunter looked down at the documents in his hand and heard James complaining."I have found out everything. She got jealous of Hayden and Leah's relationship. Hayden's probably going to break off their engagement. She deserves it."Hunter gripped the documents tightly. The last time Hayden had insisted on calling off his engagement with Lena, Lena had disagreed. Hayden jokingly said that if she jumped off the bridge, he wouldn't cancel it. Within seconds of saying this, Lena jumped directly into the river from the bridge. She was hospitalized for a month, and in return, the engagement wasn't called off.Now, Hayden was going to call off the engagement again.Who knew what kind of trouble Lena would stir up this time?Lena returned the electric scooter she rented in a crooked and twisted ma

The crowd fell silent for a moment and then burst into laughter."As expected of Hayden, huh? You actually guessed it right."Hayden did not bring Leah out tonight. There was a hostess by his side.All men had the same bad habit. Everyone in this group had called for a hostess. If Hayden didn't, he would seem out of place.So never believe a man when he says he is "not like the other guys."Remember, no man wanted to be the odd one out in this regard.The moment Hayden saw Lena, a fleeting trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a knowing expression as if he had expected this would happen.He furrowed his brow and placed the wine glass in his hand on the coffee table."Lena, haven't you had enough?"Lena had caused trouble several times before in the Moonlight Lounge. Now, she even dressed up as a staff member to come in. Each time, she became more and more desperate.Lena bowed slightly and picked up the most expensive bottle of Romanée-Conti, smiling at

Hayden's head tilted slightly, disbelief evident on his face, and he loosened his hands on Lena's throat.He touched his own cheek and paused for several seconds.Lena had never hit him, and would even rather get hurt herself than let him get hurt.Moreover, he was just humiliated in the private room.He faintly felt that something had indeed changed.The next second, Lena asked, "Does it hurt?"Hayden was instantly filled with confidence. It was clear that she was just pretending!Lena just wanted to get his attention using this method!Exactly! Lena loved him so obsessively that she couldn't live without him!He took a deep breath and said, "I'll see how long you can hold on."Lena leaned against the wall, waiting until she was the only one left before she rubbed her uncomfortable stomach.When she was choked, she really felt like throwing up.After drinking so much wine, it was impossible not to feel anything, and now her stomach felt bloated and painful.She quickly changed her cl

Lena stood still, not knowing why Hunter had called out to her.He seemed to have something to say.She had a strong premonition that, before losing her memory, she must have strongly avoided meeting Hunter.Not to mention, after hearing about all the foolish things she had done in the past from others, she had probably been mocked quite often.She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, sighing.In the middle of the night, she heard the sound of a drunkard furiously pounding on a door outside. She wasn't sure if it was her door.She got up and listened carefully, but then the sound slowly disappeared.The next morning, Lena prepared all the materials needed for the interview, prepared her resume, and then submitted it to the Reid Group.She received a rejection message within about half an hour after sending out her resume, without even getting a chance for an interview.Despite facing setbacks, Lena wasn't disheartened and continued to apply to other departments.But all of her app

"Leah, Hayden is like a trash I threw away. There's no reason for me to pick him back up again. If you like him, then hold on to him properly."Lena waved her hand and hailed a taxi.Her words had undoubtedly caught Leah off guard."Lena, how can you say that? You chased after Hayden for so many years and did so many embarrassing things. How come you don't want him? Clearly, he doesn't like you. He even told me in bed that he never once kissed you. How could you be so completely unattractive?"Lena's hand was already resting on the taxi door at this moment, and she smiled a little upon hearing Leah's words."If a woman's attractiveness is measured by how many times she's been slept with, then wouldn't prostitutes be the most charming of all? Have you never considered that maybe it's just because they're easy?"This remark was a roundabout way of cursing Leah.Leah's face instantly turned pale, as she was struck in her sore spot."You!"She raised her hand to slap Lena, but Lena grabbe

Lena knew that Hunter was referring to Hayden.The entire Westfell was saying that everything she was doing now was for Hayden.She remained silent."Mr. Reid, I'm in need of money and just want a job. The salary at the Reid Group is good, and I'm willing to work hard."As long as a person could endure hardship, they would always have more hardships to endure.Lena understood this truth, but she still wanted to join the Reid Group. She wanted to find out what really happened to Hunter's leg and what kind of relationship they had in the past.In the car, Hunter suddenly burst into laughter.Lena once again felt that chill, as if her words had once again hit Hunter's sore spot.He closed his eyes, his face cold and emotionless, "If you want to join us, then come."Lena's eyes lit up. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, then I'll come tomorrow for the onboarding!"Hunter remained silent as the car window slowly rolled up.After the car drove through the large iron gate, he finally sa

Lena found his words amusing but didn't feel like saying anything, so she just walked past Hayden.Hayden grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the nearby wall. "Or maybe, you want to sow discord between me and Leah?"Lena felt an unbearable itch in the palm of her hand, and she really wanted to slap him.The CEO's elevator next to her opened at this moment. This was the first time Lena saw Hunter in a wheelchair.Hunter was wearing a dark suit, and even though he was sitting, he carried himself with pride.Cold, distant—keeping people far away.His face was still as breathtaking as ever as if the very light and shadows changed wherever he appeared.She was now pressed against Hayden, a position which could easily be misunderstood.Just as Lena was about to push Hayden away, she heard Hunter recite a sentence."Employee Handbook, Article 98: Office relationships are prohibited."She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. She had been completely misunderstood.And yet, Hayden insi

Lena only noticed her messy clothes but didn't realize there were marks on her neck.Her skin was already fair, and after getting angry at Hayden, her cheeks turned slightly red.Seeing no one behind Hunter's wheelchair, she quickly stepped forward."Mr. Reid."She held onto the wheelchair and said sincerely, "Are you going back to the top floor? I'll take you.""Go away.""Hmm?"She thought she had misheard.Hunter moved his wheelchair on his own and passed by her.Lena Dawson stood there, finally realizing she was not wanted.She took a deep breath. Forget it, no need to bother him.She found her desk, and coincidentally, it was not far from Hayden's office.There were several younger members in the Reid family. Although Hunter's seniority was much higher than Hayden's, they were actually the same age.All the younger members of the Reid family had to intern at the Reid Group.Hunter was born when Old Mr. Reid was already older. With his sharp mind from a young age, he was chosen ea

When she got up from the hot spring pool, she only then noticed the new clothes she could wear on the chair beside her.She slowly put on her clothes, sat on the chair and rested for a while. After soaking in the hot spring, it seemed like every pore had opened up and her mind had become much clearer.She took out her phone to send him a message, but saw Clara asking her where she was. It turned out that an hour had passed without her realizing it.She quickly got up and walked outside, but when she turned a corner, she suddenly collided with a man walking towards her.The man's cheeks were adorned with a silver mask, tall and imposing.Unlike Hunter's cold and dull demeanor, this person's temperament was like a unsheathed blade, as if getting even a little closer could result in being cut.Lena's nose hurt from the collision, so she quickly apologized and hurriedly entered the nearby elevator.The man did not come in, but instead wal

Lena looked at the flower in front of her and then glanced at the surrounding scenery.The scene that just flashed through my mind is here, and the protagonist inside is her.So her first time with Mr. H was here?Furrowing her brow, she lowered her head to try and recall some details, but the more she thought, the more her head ached.She raised her hand wanting to massage her temples, but a pair of slender hands pressed against her temples and slowly began to rub.Lena wanted to turn around, but the blindfold that covered her eyes fell on them again.She sighed, "Is your body feeling better?""Um."It seems it wasn't good yet, otherwise why would there be so little conversation.She did not struggle and quietly waited for him to tie the cloth before turning around and asking, "Have I been to this place before?"As soon as the words fell, the man's grip on her wrist tightened instantly, so tight that it caused he

Lena was at a loss and immediately found the villa caretaker watering the garden. She gave some instructions and hurriedly went back home.On the way, she sent several messages to Mr. H, but he didn't reply to any of them.This person used to reply instantly all the time.She was feeling restless at home and decided to go out to the gambling estate to try her luck. As soon as she left, she ran into Clara.Clara dressed up nicely today, with big wavy hair flowing freely, and a waist-cinching little black dress that showcased her figure perfectly.Lena's eyes lit up for a moment, she pressed the elevator button, and the two of them went to the parking lot together."Ms. Farley, were you planning to go on a date?"Clara flicked her wine-red hair and said, "Go somewhere to have fun, do you want to come along?""Where?""Wraith Manor."This is the estate Lena visited last time, and at that time, she overheard the gambl

Lena's knees were covered in blood as she knelt, unable to overcome the anxiety in her heart.She had been paying attention to the direction where the old man was until she saw the old man go upstairs again. Only then did she take out her phone and reply to the message.How serious was it? Did you take the medicine?The old man pushed open the door where Hunter was, his face very serious."Hunter, this time you stayed at home and rested well."Hunter leaned back on the bed and made a sound of "hmm."The old man knew that his son had always been reticent and felt somewhat helpless. "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, otherwise Lena won't just be simply kneeling down there," he said.Hunter slowly clenched his hand, which was placed on the bedsheet, as he heard Lena kneeling, but he didn't show any expression on his face.The old man saw that he was indifferent and breathed a sigh of relief.

Has Hunter really gotten this bad?If Hunter had died...A chill ran down her back, causing her to straighten up even more.After kneeling for another hour, she saw James approaching, and her eyes lit up.James was still wearing the clothes he had on for work, and he quickly placed a bun in front of her."Have a meal."Lena, who was not in the mood to eat, quickly asked, "How is Mr. Reid? Is he still not awake?"I woke up and was being scolded by the old man. I can't go in now. This time, the old man was really scared. Those few people also came over. They will probably talk for a while. The president's phone was also taken away. He might have to rest at home for several days.Lena breathed a sigh of relief, she woke up and that's good.She is really regretful now, Hunter was so good, but because of her...Her eye sockets turned red instantly, and she sniffed.James saw that she seemed like she was about to

After he left, Lena was exhausted, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and let out a sigh.She returned to the chair outside the ward and felt drowsy.Another hour passed before Lillian hurriedly arrived.Lillian was extremely anxious and would fly into a rage whenever she saw Lena."Lena, you get out of here! How come you're here again? If it weren't for you, would my brother end up like this? Get lost!"Lena didn't want to stay here in the first place, so when she heard this, she was absolutely delighted."Okay, I'm leaving, goodbye."Lillian was choked for a moment, as if a fist hit a cotton ball. In an instant, she didn't know what to say and could only angrily push open the door of the ward.When Lena left the hospital, she felt refreshed and immediately went home to change her clothes before heading to the Reid Group to report.We arrived at the top level on time, luckily without being late.She did

When Lena was sending Lauryn away from the morgue, she didn't know what to say.She had intended to help with Jacoby's affairs, but Lauryn just shook her head and then took the bus to leave.Lena could no longer hold back and could only stand in place, constantly urging."If you need any further assistance, just give me a call."Lauryn nodded at her through the bus window and then wearily leaned back against the seat and fell asleep.Lena stood still for a while and then turned to look at Hayden.Hayden had more sweat on his forehead and his lips were paler.Lena wanted to ask you what was going on, but the next second, Hayden simply fainted.She was so scared that she quickly sent the person to the hospital. As a result, when the doctor lifted his back, she finally saw the crisscrossed whip marks.And the traces were very deep, in some places even bones could be seen.Who on earth dared to be so heartless to Hayd

After sending Hunter back, she returned to her own home and immediately messaged Mr. H.Tomorrow I was going to go shopping, can I buy you some couple items? For example, cups and toothbrushes.Over there, it was an instant reply again, as if the phone was right by his side.Sure.He was probably afraid that his tone was too cold, so he sent another message.I was very happy.Lena's lips curved up as she lay down on the bed. Just as she had settled in, her phone rang, and it was the former dean calling.Eugene had already been transferred to the large hospital this morning and is still in the same condition."Lena, Lauryn is still waiting for you."Lena had inquired about the situation at the prison these past few days, but the Dawson family, being purely a business family, couldn't extend their reach that far.She could no longer go to see Clara either, because Clara's relationship with the Farley family was awkw

The two of them were arguing when they heard Hunter speak, "If there's nothing important, I'll go back first."Emmett took a deep breath and pointed over with his hand."Look, just look at his attitude. Whenever we mention women, he wants to leave. Who does he expect to wait for him? It's already a miracle that he hasn't married his computer. I think he'll just spend the rest of his life clinging to the money he earns."Hunter turned around directly, too lazy to bother.Lena silently pushed his wheelchair and found it amusing when the compartment door behind her closed.Hunter heard her soft laughter and felt a bit gloomy, "Is it really that funny?"These words seemed to have sprung out from between the teeth.Lena's laughter immediately stopped."I just felt that Mr. Wright made a lot of sense, but there's nothing wrong with Mr. Reid either. There are very few people like you in today's society."Treating emotions since
