"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
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
