"You went to handle her bail procedures!" Ernesto, always indifferent, ordered the person behind him in the dark night.
"Mr. Martinez, where was her younger brother?"
The night shift personnel consulted Ernesto, but it was evident that he had no instructions and understood his meaning. Following the manager's greeting, they proceeded to complete the formalities with the security personnel.
Karsyn was grateful when she saw that Ernesto had actually come.
Walking up to Ernesto, the other security personnel knew that Ernesto had some influence and that he had come to bail her out, so they did not intervene.
"Thank you! Consider me indebted to you for this time!" Karsyn said to Ernesto, with a bright smile on his face.
Ernesto's eyes were cold, his expression indifferent, and he did not speak.
Karsyn had encountered Ernesto once and knew that his attitude was so cold and indifferent, so she didn't pay much attention to it either.
A
Not wanting Britney to worry, Karsyn didn't say much. She told her that Andreas had hit Geovanni, wanting her to be mentally prepared in advance. At this point, Britney is probably also troubled...After all, her uncle's family was not a good bunch. I hope her uncle's family won't give her a hard time about this.Karsyn grabbed her hair! After the impulse, she had to face so many things.It seems that the old man had to be lifted off the bed.Although Ernesto had a point in what he said, Andreas, her brother, couldn't just stand by and let him learn his lesson inside.Closing the car door, Karsyn didn't say another word to Ernesto. She stepped into the villa and woke up Glenn Melton, who was sleeping.The sharp gaze fell on Karsyn's back as she stepped into the Melton family's gate, without much hesitation. Ernesto's voice was cold as he said, "Drive!"What she is going to do next is her own business! It has nothing to do with him...
"Miss, are you okay?"The staff inside the glass window, watching the woman who had just paid the fee, suddenly bent down and leaned against the wall, with a pained expression, and asked with concern."Phew!" Stephanie took a deep breath and gently rubbed her slightly protruding belly. The pulling sensation in her stomach that she had just experienced was gone, as if it was just an illusion. Standing up, she waved her hand to the person behind her and said, "I'm fine."Then, returning to normal, she walked towards the private ward in her high-heeled shoes.As I approached the door of the ward, I could hear Jamiya sobbing inside."These old wounds haven't healed yet, and now there are new ones! What's been happening recently?"Stephanie approached and gently stroked Jamiya's back, "Mom, don't cry yet! We haven't even figured out what happened." Then she turned to Geovanni on the hospital bed and asked, "Geovanni, what's going on?""Who
Last night when they parted ways, Manuel reassured her not to worry about Andreas' matter, as he would take care of it by finding someone to handle it.On Geovanni's side, with favorable evidence, he could not be troubled.However, she didn't want him to get involved in the Hammond family's affairs. As long as he could handle the matters of Karsyn and Andreas, it would be fine. The Hammond family's affairs had been accumulating for over twenty years, and the uncle's family had been targeting their own family for a long time. These matters could only be handled by themselves.I thought I would have trouble sleeping at night because of these things, but surprisingly, I slept well and even had a dream in between.It was still an early working day. Britney finished washing up, got dressed, and went downstairs.But I saw my parents getting ready to leave."Britney, wake up!" Diana put on a shawl and straightened Quinten's coat. "Geovanni got inju
Geovanni, lying on the hospital bed, had a sleepless night last night.The wound on my head, from time to time, caused a sharp pain, making me extremely uncomfortable. Since I can remember, I have never bumped or hit myself, I didn't even know what pain felt like, let alone experiencing such a severe injury before.Although she hired a caregiver, Jamiya still didn't feel at ease and stayed up all night. Seeing her son's pain, it also hurt her own heart.I didn't go back until the early morning and took a short nap. The servant had prepared the nourishing soup and sent it over again early in the morning."Britney, are you happy now that you see me like this?"Britney stood beside her parents, looking at Geovanni on the hospital bed. "I'm sorry for what happened before.""What's the use of apologizing? If it weren't for you and your fiancé publicly embarrassing Geovanni, he would have been bullied by some shady characters," Jamiya said
Last night, I pulled the old man in my house out of bed from under the covers.As soon as Glenn heard that Andreas had joined the security department, he also became extremely anxious, disregarding his own image. He immediately made a phone call to a familiar person in the security department, and then rushed to the security department overnight with Karsyn.Unexpectedly, Maxwell got ahead of him and put pressure on Andreas, not easily letting him go. Fortunately, Karsyn had been released on bail by Ernesto beforehand, otherwise Karsyn wouldn't have escaped either.The security department found themselves caught between the Hammond family and the Melton family, so they had no choice but to seek the intervention of their superiors. Compared to the Hammond family's tough attitude, Glenn was known for being easy to talk to. He had always had excellent relationships within the business community and was renowned for being a kind-hearted person.Without any ev
Glenn heard his daughter's words, awkwardly smiled, and withdrew his outstretched hand.Glenn, who was nearly fifty, took good care of himself. He was of average height, lean in build, optimistic in personality, and always had a smile on his face. In his middle age, he lost his wife and raised their two children on his own, never remarrying. Karsyn and Andreas were mischievous and outgoing, often causing trouble that would frustrate him. However, Glenn dedicated his entire life to his two children, pouring his heart and soul into their upbringing."Mr. Martinez, I really have to thank you this time!"In the past, Andreas used to get into trouble often, being called to the teacher's office was a regular occurrence, but going to the security department was a first. Glenn, on the other hand, was always a good person, never engaging in any illegal or disorderly activities. This time, because of Andreas, he was truly at a loss."No problem!" Ernesto responded
"Did you find it?"Hugh opened the file and handed a piece of paper in front of him to Britney, saying, "I found it, but it's not clear who exactly it is. I hacked into the firewall using the computer, and the registered account is 23 years old. I took some time off work to ask the internet cafe owner, but because they have a large number of customers, he couldn't remember. The surveillance cameras were also broken for the past few days. However, he mentioned that most of the people who go there are young, so if there were any other young individuals, he should remember them clearly."Before, we found out that the information originated from a certain internet cafe. As long as Hugh hacked into the firewall of that internet cafe, he would be able to find out what activities were carried out on the computer during that period of time. However, the records of each internet cafe are usually cleared approximately once a week. Fortunately, it hasn't been cleared yet, otherwi
Before, she did not pursue the matter. It was because she found out that the perpetrator died on the spot, leaving no evidence. Moreover, the test report only indicated drunk driving.She knew that if it was really targeted at her, someone must have done something behind her back. In order not to alert the enemy, she didn't make the matter public, or even tell her parents. She just asked her old classmate Carlos for help and secretly asked him to investigate for her.From the first day, she probed Stephanie and it became clear that Stephanie was involved. Only when she calmed down, did she manage to sort out Stephanie's scheming in the whole matter.She knew that around that time every day, she would go to the villa to decorate the wedding room. So it is very likely that she intentionally dragged Conrad along to do such things to show herself, leave alone, and then have someone create a car accident...I just didn't expect Manuel's appearance, which saved
Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up
Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t
"Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you
Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.
"She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with
When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh
Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have
Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside
Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
