"Where did you go?" Yves asked."I had dinner with my childhood friend. She's here now.""My childhood friend? Sonnet?""That's right."Yves was silent for a moment before asking, "Have you been drinking?""Yeah, a little. Talking about the past. Everyone's happy.""Shall I pick you up?""Sure." Lucas covered the phone and turned to look at Lindy. "Address?"Lindy waved her hand with a flushed face. "Just send her the location!""That's true," Lucas said as he sent Yves the location. "Follow the location. I'll wait for you…""Alright, wait for me," Yves said and hung up.Lucas put his phone in his pocket and tidied his clothes. He was mocked by Lindy. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you. You're about to meet your girlfriend. You're like a peacock spreading its tail. You're handsome enough!""In front of my girlfriend, I'll never complain that I'm handsome. I want to be perfect in front of her!" Lucas said with his head held high.His words were met with boos from his two childhood
Sonnet shook her head and went to the kitchen to get some water.Suddenly, there was a loud bang.Sonnet turned to look at the door and saw a few burly men wearing masks rushing in!"Who are you? Ah!" As soon as Sonnet finished speaking, the burly men had already rushed in front of her and grabbed her arms on both sides."Let go of me, let go of me. What are you guys, wu…" Before Sonnet could finish speaking, someone covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Then, her entire body went limp as she was carried away by the two burly men.The men moved very quickly and disappeared from the door in an instant. If not for the open door, it would have made people think that nothing had happened!The bathroom door opened and Lindy came out. She stared at the open door in a daze. A few seconds later, she came to her senses and called Marcus. "Marcus, bad news. Sonnet has been abducted!"Marcus was sitting on the sofa in the ward, scrolling through his phone. Although Maxwell had a fever, he
At one o'clock in the morning, the normally quiet Brooks family manor suddenly became noisy, followed by the hurried footsteps of the butler in the corridor.Matteo had just turned off his laptop and was about to go to sleep when he was interrupted by the butler's footsteps. He pushed open the door and saw the butler standing outside Winston's bedroom."Master, Second Young Master is here." The butler said respectfully.Before Winston could react, the door of the room next door opened. Yvonne Thomas walked out with a puzzled expression and asked the butler, "What's going on? Why is Maxwell here in the middle of the night?"Seeing Yvonne come out of the next room, Matteo revealed a mocking smile.Recently, his father had not entered her room to sleep. He knew his father had eaten his fill outside and did not want to touch her. This situation had been going on for more than half a year. It was also because of this that that woman became even crazier.The butler bowed respectfully t
Maxwell looked at Winston. "I'll repeat it. Tell your men to let Sonnet go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"As he spoke, he exerted more strength. Winston's face had already turned green.Winston lowered his eyes. After a while, he looked up at Maxwell with a much sharper gaze."If you want me to… stop… you have to let me call…"As soon as he finished speaking, Maxwell let go of his grip. Winston sat heavily on the ground and panted heavily."Don't play tricks with me. If we're talking about acting, I'm not inferior to you!" Maxwell looked down at Winston coldly.Winston chuckled. "Your acting skills are indeed top-notch. Even I was fooled by you for a while."He took his phone and made a call. He said to the other party, "Let Sonnet Turner go." Then, he hung up.He looked at Maxwell. "Since I've made the call, they'll do as I say. Don't worry.""I'm very relieved. You're my Fourth Uncle!" Maxwell mocked.Matteo looked at Maxwell and Wilson's interaction and was co
"Second Brother, don't misunderstand! Second Uncle's matter is his family's own matter. When Big Brother came to my father to sell the stocks, my father hesitated. He also knew that if we bought the stocks, it would look like my father was scheming against them. But later, he thought that instead of letting others buy Second Uncle's stocks, it is better if his family bought them. At least, they can protect the shares of the Brooks Corporation from falling into the hands of outsiders," Matteo quickly explained.Maxwell glanced at him. "Your father admitted it himself. Why are you explaining it to me?"Matteo froze and looked at his father. "Dad, what are you admitting? Are you admitting that you're the one who schemed against Second Uncle? Dad! You're stupid. You're being kind, how can you admit this? We didn't scheme against Second Uncle at all!"Winston looked at him quietly without saying anything.On the other hand, Marcus let go. "Fifth Young Master, you're so naive."Matteo m
Now, it was time to hear the whole story."First of all, before Mariette Brooks encountered Scout Cattle, you didn't know I wasn't dead. This was because sometime after I ‘died’ from the explosion, you got someone to secretly monitor Sonnet and didn't discover anything abnormal. Therefore, you were certain that I had died and turned into ashes."But the world is so small. Mariette happened to run into Scout, who was drunk and spouted nonsense about me not dying. Mariette was stupid and didn't believe it. She told Will Brooks about this, and Will began to suspect her. And you…"Maxwell pointed at Winston. "I don't know how you found out, but you immediately suspected I wasn't dead. You immediately sent someone to find a private detective and secretly followed Sonnet, wanting to see if I was in contact with her. Unexpectedly, Sonnet discovered it, so you had no choice but to dismiss the private detective. And when you were looking for the private detective, you even held back and pret
Maxwell looked at Winston. "You got someone to beat Scout Cattle to death while he was drunk. You even let Cobalt and his wife go on a vacation. Originally, you planned to silence them during the vacation. Who knew that God would help you? There was a landslide there. Cobalt and his wife weren't affected by the landslide, but this provided you with convenience. You sent someone to kill them and pretend that they were buried by the landslide."After dealing with these witnesses, you still weren't at ease. You planned on targeting me directly. You got someone to kidnap Sonnet to control me, not even caring about the time and place. Because you realized that I had protected Sonnet and her family very well, you could only take action in broad daylight in front of the Paragon Education Group building. However, you never expected your people to fail."Later on, you monitored me closely and realized that there was a small conflict between Sonnet and me. Sonnet pretended to commit suicide to
Hearing his words, Matteo widened his eyes in shock. "Dad! So, you really killed that person?"Winston remained silent.Matteo’s eyes immediately turned red, and his voice trembled. "Dad… You've been my idol since I was young. I didn't expect you to do so many shameful things behind my back…""As you can see, when your grandfather was alive, he never looked up to your father. If I didn't fight for myself, how could we have our current life?"Maxwell’s face turned even colder at the mention of this."Winston Brooks!" he snapped. "You were the one who caused my parents' car accident more than ten years ago, weren't you?!"Matteo looked at his father in shock.Winston sneered. "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to deny. That's right, I planned that car accident.""Dad! You've always had a good relationship with Uncle. Why are you…" Matteo asked in shock."So what if we have a good relationship? As long as he's alive, I won't have the chance to control the Brooks f
