The sun was setting, casting a figure into the old alley of the X fishing area. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Alessia woke up from her nap and finally received an email. The email said she needed to find Dalton’s house, where the person she was looking for was located. After inquiring around, Alessia found her way there. Not far away, a small white house appeared in sight, where a middle-aged couple could be seen drying fish in the yard. Alessia stepped into the courtyard. The couple stopped their activities when they saw a stranger at their door. "Excuse me, are you Mr. And Mrs. Dalton?" Alessia pursed her lips and asked. As soon as she spoke, the expressions on the couple's faces changed. After a moment of silence, it was the woman who spoke first. She tidied her stray hair nervously and asked, "Will you... be good to Daniel?" From their body language, it was clear they had been expecting her visit. At this moment, the ‘Daniel’ mentioned should be the child. Alessia
The seawater rushed in, and Alessia felt the cold touch gradually invading her breath. The more she struggled, the more she felt sinking. Alessia's swimming skills were originally not good, and as the seawater drilled into her throat, it stung painfully. Her vision gradually began to blur. In a daze, she felt a force pulling her back to the surface. Then, her lips softened, and a hot breath entered her. Alessia opened her eyes again, only then realizing what had happened. Dominic's lips pressed against hers, helping her breathe. Their faces were so close that Alessia could even see the distinct eyelashes floating in the water. In her mind, images from five years ago flashed back. Dominic forcibly pressed her down on the bed and kissed her. This familiarity made her psychologically uncomfortable. Needing to alleviate the suffocating feeling, she pushed against Dominic with force, turning towards the shore to float away. The sensation on her lips disappeared, and Dominic was
The fragrance of the instant noodles wafted over, causing Dominic to subconsciously swallow, his gaze turning colder by three degrees. Who gave this woman the confidence to think he wanted to eat? A trace of annoyance flashed through Dominic's narrow eyes for some inexplicable reason. Alessia was enjoying her noodles. She had only asked the question just now because it was part of her ‘role’, and Dominic's refusal had long been expected. She walked over to a low stool near the door, finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls, and looked up to see a dilapidated tricycle parked outside. It was the vehicle she had asked the old lady to call for. Alessia put down the noodle box and turned back to ask Dominic dutifully, "Mr. Carter, would you like to go together?" This time, Dominic was even more direct, not even bothering to give her a glance. Very well, this was in line with Dominic's proud personality. It seemed that he completely believed she was trying to seduce him. Alessia bre
Christopher's eyes flickered. He was about to nod, but then he remembered his father's attitude towards the neighbor lady just now, so he shook his head. "She just thought I was lost." Christopher hung his head, staring at his own toes. He had sneaked out of the room when his aunt wasn't paying attention, hoping to try his luck downstairs. He hadn't expected to really encounter the neighbor lady. Originally, he had planned to ask her in person whether she was his mommy and why she didn't want him. But now that his father had appeared, he regretted it and decided to wait and see after he had met ‘Christian’. Christopher pursed his lips, feeling low-spirited. He had originally intended to spend more time with the neighbor lady, but he hadn't expected to run into his father and ruin everything. Dominic looked at his son's increasingly gloomy expression, his brows furrowing rather than relaxing. Recalling what he had seen at the hotel entrance just now, he subconsciously felt that
According to the information, also on the day before yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, an anonymous account transferred one hundred thousand into Mr. Dalton's bank account. She only came here to inquire about the appearance of the contact person and the content of their conversation. Unexpectedly, the contact person was so cautious that they didn't even show their face. Alessia breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way, she could only ask Mr. Dalton for the contact person's number. As she guessed, the number was already out of service. Alessia's eyes deepened. It seemed that this trap had been set up right after leaving the bar. But why? Spending so much effort, was it really just to trick her? Alessia couldn't make sense of it and could only leave the Dalton family for now. By now it was morning, and when she left the courtyard of the Dalton family and walked into the alley, there were already more people. However, after leaving the alley, she, who had been walking sl
The woman's embrace came fast and urgent. Alessia leaned to the side, but the woman seemed to anticipate her move and leaned away first, catching Alessia in her arms. "Sia, I finally found you, it's great!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief in her ear, gently patting her back a few times. Feeling the warmth emanating from the woman's body, Alessia stiffened, her hands hanging by her sides, a moment of confusion flashing in her eyes. The intimate nickname ‘Sia’ made her feel familiar, as if someone had called her that a long time ago. Alessia was certain that the woman must have been very familiar with her before. But even so, she was a stranger to her now. Alessia moved to push the woman away, but to her surprise, the woman released her first, creating some distance between them. Alessia's eyes flickered, her tolerance for physical contact lasted three seconds, the woman knew her well! At that moment, Dominic, holding a golf club, with an expressionless face, strolled over.
On this side of the court, as Dominic left, Jasper voluntarily distanced himself, leaving only Alessia and Hannah around. Alessia's gaze shifted back from afar and landed on Hannah. She spoke in a cold tone, "Miss Hannah Das? Let's talk." "Pfft!" Alessia didn't expect the woman, who had just been chatting and laughing with Dominic, exuding a strong aura of a shrewd, strong woman, to suddenly cover her mouth and laugh. The woman looked at her affectionately. "Sia, I didn't expect your personality to still be as cold as before. You used to be willing to call me Sister Hannah, now you just directly call me Miss Hannah Das? Should I call you Chairman La Rosa?" Chairman La Rosa? Alessia squinted, she hadn't had a chance to decipher the meaning behind the woman's words, but she saw the smile on the woman's face fade away, and her
Mr. Lambert's pupils contracted, then he sneered disdainfully, "Little girl, issuing a blank check is illegal. I'm not here to play house with you." After saying this, he looked at her and pressured without nostalgia, "Hannah, I've already found a buyer. Whether you sell this company or not, it will be sold." Her face stiffened, and she saw the girl speak again. The girl used the most ordinary tone to say the most domineering words. "The L Group belongs to the Das family. If Miss Das says it's not for sale, then it's not for sale. Mr. Lambert, you're no longer a shareholder of the L Group, please leave!" Mr. Lambert was about to get angry when his phone rang. After he answered, he realized that all his shares in the L Group had been sold by his son. After hanging up the phone, Mr. Lambert was both angry and furious, pointing at the girl and cursin
