In the room across the street, upon seeing someone else in Eleanor's room, Christopher hid again.He didn't understand why he felt guilty.Perhaps it was because he lied to the neighbor aunt last night.Christopher hid for a while, calmed down, and then discreetly opened the curtains to look over, only to find that the curtains on the opposite side had been pulled shut again.He felt disappointed and lowered his head in disappointment!The pretty girl didn't like him, and even the boy with the same name, ‘Chris,’ didn't like him either!Just now, he only saw a small figure enter the room, and didn't get a clear look at the appearance of the small figure!They were siblings, and they looked like twins, so they should look alike, definitely cute!Christopher speculated to himself, and inadvertently looked up to see the computer on the desk next to him suddenly light up, automatically booting up and entering the interface.Someone was invading his computer!The firewall of the computer w
"Who are you texting?" On the other side, Alessia placed the two boxes of Churros she had just bought on the dining table, casually asking Christian, who was playing with his phone."A new friend I just met. He's quite interesting," Christian replied, pocketing his phone. "Maybe he'll come over later! I'll introduce you to him then!""Great!" Alessia readily agreed, her gaze affectionate.Christian was quite the social butterfly, so Alessia wasn't surprised he had made a new friend so quickly. However, she did feel curious to meet the first friend Chris had made since returning to the country.The snack street was bustling with people, some stalls even had long queues in front of them.At that moment, Christopher finally spotted Alessia's figure at the Churros stall.She wore a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans, a gentle smile playing on her lips.Christopher's palms became slightly sweaty with nervousness. He glanced behind him and saw two girls in ginger-yellow princess dresses si
Alessia shifted her gaze to the fair, tender face of Eleanor, gently brushing aside her soft, fragmented hair, and began to speak in a consultative tone, "Eleanor, tomorrow I...""Mom, we're not going to this event tomorrow, of course," Eleanor interrupted before Alessia could finish her sentence.Pouting, Eleanor continued, "Mom, I don't want to go out tomorrow. I want to stay at home and play with Chris!"Alessia stared at her daughter's flawless little face, tenderly rubbing her small head.How could this little one not want to participate in this event?When she established the fashion studio, it was because Eleanor loved fashion design.Eleanor must have sensed her dilemma and, to avoid making her sad, cleverly spoke up in advance, saying she didn't want to go.This thoughtful little one was truly heartwarming!"Mom, I really don't want to go, don't keep frowning, it doesn't look good. Come on, give me a smile!" Eleanor, nestled in her arms, placed her chubby little hand on her c
The next morning at eight o'clock, after instructing the nanny--Mrs. Cate, to take care of the two treasures and giving each of them a kiss on the cheek, Alessia left the house.Christian and Eleanor watched from the balcony until Alessia's figure completely disappeared, then they glanced at each other and quietly slipped out the door.The taxi raced down the highway and arrived at the X fishing area after about three hours.Alessia unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and looked at the beautiful resort hotel in front of her.This new fishing area was the most important development project in the city in recent years. This resort hotel had just been built not long ago but already had rave reviews online.Alessia planned to stay here until the next email arrived.Inside the hotel, the lobby was quiet, with only a few scattered guests sitting on the sofas.Alessia went to the front desk, took out her ID directly, and checked in."Here's your room card, please take care of it, and
"Hello, beautiful ladies, I'm Elle. Do you have any questions for me? Don't judge me based on my age, okay? If you don't believe me, I can prove myself!" Elle wasn't nervous at all; her blue eyes were exceptionally clear. Despite being small, when her brother was around, she was obediently reliant on him. But when he wasn't, she could bravely protect herself. Bianca was momentarily stunned. Despite having a highly intelligent nephew at home, she couldn't immediately accept that the child in front of her, Elle, was equally impressive. After some thought, she tested, "Child, could you briefly explain the concept behind your design this time?" "Of course!" Elle confidently nodded her little head, and her soft hands pulled out a tablet from her backpack. She opened the software and began to articulate her thoughts clearly, "My design this time is themed around flowers, particularly focusing on snowflakes, which my mommy loves the most. Each piece of clothing is adorned with snowflak
At the hotel, in the banquet hall. Everyone had zero tolerance for child abductors. Bianca had to go through a lot of explanations to prove she wasn't one. After the recent confrontation, she now looked disheveled and sat angrily on the sofa. That brat was indeed born to torment her. Normally, she could tolerate his teasing, but now he had come to the banquet hall to embarrass her! The more Bianca thought about it, the angrier she became. She decided that no matter what, she wouldn't easily let Christopher off this time. She suddenly sat up, took out her phone, and dialed Dominic's number. The phone rang three times but there was no answer. After a moment's thought, Bianca decided to call David instead. "Miss Carter!" David answered the call promptly. "Where's my brother?" Bianca asked petulantly. "Mr. Dominic is in a meeting!" David glanced at the conference room and switched the phone to his other hand. "Forget it!" Bianca was about to hang up. She knew too well how ruthle
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
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
