Alessia dangerously narrowed her eyes.
Sisca seemed to have had enough of the drama and glanced at the time, "Alright, Mr. Marcus, I have other matters to attend to. You can discuss it slowly, and when you're done, feel free to call me."
With that, she looked at Dylan provocatively, "Dylan, it seems like your judgment of people isn't good. A problem that could be solved with just one action, she insists on pushing you onto a dead-end road."
"Shut up." Dylan was infuriated, his veins bulging, ready to strike, but was stopped by Marcus in the end.
Sisca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Dylan being restrained, covering her chest, and said softly, "Dylan, you’re still so impulsive, it seems you haven't suffered enough yet. Mr. Marcus, your job as a manager is truly difficult."
Having taken enough advantage with her words, Sisca turned and left.
Dominic's face was etched with sharpness, looking down on Alessia with disdain. A momentary daze flashed across Alessia's cool and beautiful face. "Isn't Sisca your wife?" "Who told you that, or are you just pretending to care?" Dominic took a step forward with his long legs, his disdain deepening in his black eyes. Huh... He used the wrong words. This woman wasn't jealous; she was playing a game of cat and mouse with him. He mentioned Dylan, and she latched onto Sisca. Alessia took a step back, her brows furrowing. Sisca wasn't Mrs. Carter! That man wasn't secretly married to Sisca! He was scum, but not so much that he wouldn't give the mother of his child a status. That child wasn't Sisca's. Alessia's mind flashed with the image of
Hospital, in a single room. Sisca lay on the hospital bed, wearing a patient gown, layers of white bandages wrapped around her wrists, looking like a doll about to break at any moment. It was unclear what she was thinking, her gaze scattered, and her hands clasped tightly in front of her chest. At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. Sisca turned her head and saw Dominic coming in. "Dom!" A hint of surprise flashed in Sisca's eyes. She tried to sit up, but just as she lifted herself slightly, she weakly fell back down. Dominic furrowed his brow, his tone difficult to discern whether it was anger or not. "Just lie down." "Dom, I knew you cared about me. I knew you wouldn't ignore me." Sisca felt ecstatic, tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed affectionately at Dominic.
The little girl wore a pink princess dress, had fair skin, delicate and cute features. The only drawback was her small stature, but it didn't diminish her beauty in the slightest. The action of closing the door as soon as she appeared was somewhat impolite. Uncle Tom furrowed his brows, but when he saw the little girl's appearance clearly, his brows relaxed again. Such a beautiful little girl, no wonder their young master took the initiative to visit. Uncle Tom was thinking this when he saw the little girl's bright eyes fixed on their master, seeming very interested in him. It seemed that their master wasn't just liked by women; even little girls liked him. A hint of pride flashed across Uncle Tom's square face. He heard the little girl's childish voice, "Uncle, who are you looking for? My mommy isn't home. If you need anything, you can tell me."
"Son?" The man knew about Chris?! Alessia's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at her daughter behind her, furrowing her brows. The man only mentioned Chris, not Elle. He must have seen Chris's face, after all, Chris was a replica of him. Her worst fear had come true. Even though the man wielded immense power in Toronto, she wouldn't hand Chris over to him. Alessia's eyes darkened, preparing herself to confront Dominic head-on. Standing straight at the doorway, Alessia spoke firmly, "He's not just your son, he's my son too. I won't hand him over to you." "Are you trying to compete with me?" "Mr. Carter, you're mistaken. I'm not competing with you, you're competing with me," Alessia corrected firmly. As soon as she spoke, she saw Dominic sn
Bianca cleared her throat again, squinting her eyes, and proudly asked, "Can I pick a few?" "As you wish," Alessia said, curling her lips. Bianca's personality hadn't changed a bit. She was still a paper tiger who liked to put on airs, not really scary, but rather cute. After hearing Alessia's words, Bianca couldn't pretend to be calm anymore. She happily clenched her fists. "Just as I please? Then I'll pick a few!" Indeed, this Al was as generous as she liked. Bianca, excited, obviously forgot about the need to discount her fondness for Al. Eleanor stood obediently aside, and with a few words from Alessia, she almost completely won over the hypocritical Bianca. She blinked and cleverly stepped forward, grabbing Bianca's hand and leading her into the house. "Auntie, I know where Mommy's dresses are. Let me take you to pick t
At that moment, David walked in. Dominic spoke, "How is Christopher?" David replied, "Young Master is still locked in his room." Dominic sat up straight, pinching the bridge of his nose again, rare traces of self-doubt appearing. "Do you think I've done something wrong?" David paused, having just delivered the information about the former CEO's wife living across the street. After some thought, David spoke, "Mr. Carter, actually, you've been giving Miss La Rosa chances all along. When Young Master's attitude improved, you gave up on asking Miss La Rosa to leave Toronto. You've been waiting for Miss La Rosa to speak up. Unexpectedly, Miss La Rosa, thinking herself clever, moved to the opposite side and secretly contacted Young Master." Different faces in public and private settings. Encountering the CEO's bottom line,
Bianca pouted, "So, you want to use and discard me? Too bad, I've changed my mind, I don't want to leave now." This fits Miss Bianca's character very well, Alessia raised an eyebrow and glanced at Riley. Riley's gentle expression froze for a moment, the lake-like eyes also showed some changes in expression, but he quickly returned to normal, his voice still gentle, "As long as it doesn't delay your time." Some people are gentle on the surface, some are gentle at heart. Alessia felt that Riley belonged to the latter category; perhaps gentleness was just his protective color. Such people, few could penetrate their hearts, but once someone did, they would be completely open. Some people may seem willful and capricious, perhaps this is also their protective color. "You’re indeed very boring. Who wants to stay here anyway?"
"Miss La Rosa, this is a hospital. If there's a problem, find a doctor. You must not interfere!" Sisca pretended to advise, her hand reaching out to disturb Alessia. Unfortunately, before she could touch Alessia, Alessia had already seen through everything. She lifted her eyes, glaring sharply. That sharp gaze was like invisible ice blades, piercing Sisca's heart with a chill. Caught off guard, Sisca was frightened and stumbled, sitting on the ground. Finally, someone noticed the commotion, and people began to gather around. "What happened to this lady?" a nurse approached to inquire. Alessia knelt on the ground, not raising her head, continuing her actions methodically, giving instructions. "After a preliminary examination, the patient seems to have experienced cardiac arrest due to a psychological condition. Go get someone
When Alessia heard Victor's words, she became a little anxious.She didn't want to see either Enzo or Dominic get hurt.Alessia left the room, and Victor wiped his mouth, proudly sighing. "Raising such an outstanding granddaughter is troublesome, always attracting trouble."When Alessia arrived at the mountaintop, she saw two equally damaged sports cars parked to the side.The two owners of the cars were hanging on the slope, climbing up while fighting and pulling each other back."What are you doing?" she called out to the two men risking their lives in this senseless fight."Sia.""Sia."Both of them, upon seeing Alessia, reached out their hands, hoping she would help them.Alessia thought for a moment and then extended both hands to pull them up."You two, use some strength and climb up first."Both men were dissatisfied with Alessia's decision to help them both simultaneously.Just moments before, they had been fighting each other fiercely. Now, they exchanged a glance and formed a
Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.She looked at him.Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
At this moment, the captain of the security team handed him a phone."Mr. Carter, take a look at this phone. Our team found it at the gate of the community during the morning patrol. It's turned off, and we can't find any information on it!"Dominic took it and almost recognized it at a glance. It was Alessia's phone.Alessia's phone was left at the gate of the community, but there was no information about Alessia in the surveillance.This proves that Alessia must have had an accident, and it was premeditated.Less than 24 hours since her disappearance, with only one phone, it couldn't prove that Alessia was really in trouble, so he couldn't call the police yet. Dominic could only arrange for the Carter family's forces to search for Alessia on a large scale.At this time, there was no need to be polite to Gordon.He also called Gordon.
Bar.Alessia drank half a cup of wine in one gulp. When she wanted to continue drinking, her glass was snatched away.Half-supporting her chin, Alessia looked at Dominic with drunken eyes."Give me back my wine. I'm happy, and I still want to drink. Dominic, be happy for me too. I not only have a dad now but also a mom."Dominic looked at Alessia, who pretended to be happy despite feeling sad inside, with a heart full of tenderness.He picked up her glass and drank the remaining half in one gulp.Turning back, his gaze was focused and gentle."Sia, of course, I'm happy for you. Actually, you can't blame Uncle Laroux for this. If I were him, I wouldn't have any favorable feelings towards any child other than the one I had with you. Of course, I would never let myself reach the level Uncle Laroux has.""Really?" Alessia
With an anxious heart, he rushed back to the hospital. When he reached the door of the operating room, he saw Dominic, Christian, Eleanor, and Christopher standing outside.Why was Dominic's family here?Gordon was stunned. At this moment, the hospital director personally handed him the consent form for the surgery."Mr. Laroux, Dr. Athena has agreed to perform the surgery on Mrs. Laroux herself. She contacted me the morning before yesterday, and I have already conducted all the necessary pre-operative examinations on Mrs. Laroux. There is no problem with Mrs. Laroux's physical condition for the surgery. You just need to sign."Alessia had already agreed.What was going on during these past few days when she chased Alessia every day for Evelyn's surgery?Was she just teasing him?Was she treating him like a fool?Gord
"Of course not." Gordon answered without hesitation, "If it were me and Evelyn's daughter, she would be the kindest child in the world."Unexpectedly, Gordon was so hypocritical.Alessia felt a bit complicated when she suddenly had that thought. She didn't know whether she should be moved or continue to hate."You can go back now, I don't need anything," Alessia said."How could you not want anything?" Gordon didn't believe it. "I told you, I'm asking for your help. You can make requests. You must have met Ava, right? If it's because of what Ava said, I can tell you now that I agree to marry her."Gordon clearly loved Evelyn so much, yet he agreed to marry Ava?Alessia looked at Gordon with a gaze like he was insane, and seeing Gordon's seriousness and pain, it didn't seem like he was pretending.She suddenly understood that when love went deep, it was
"Nonsense, I'm not doing this for Evelyn," Harrison retorted.True, driven by self-interest, he wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Laroux family. But deep down, he also resented the Laroux family, especially Alessia.So, watching the Laroux family suffer, he had no reason to help them. At most, he wouldn't kick them while they were down, just to ensure the fire didn't spread back to him."Not doing it is enough. Brother, forget about this matter. I won't ask for your help anymore. Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to do with you. Just don't send me to the hospital," Ava sighed in relief, revealing her soft side again, her emotions fluctuating.Saying she wasn't sick, some people found it hard to believe."No way," Harrison refused adamantly. "You must go to the hospital."If Ava ran wild outside for a day, she would become the fire that would in
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
