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
"Your brother is also very good, but it's a pity that you don't know how to cherish him!" Maxwell replied coldly. "Among the brothers, my father treated you the best. He even once told me that everyone had underestimated your ability. In the future, he will work with you to bring the Brooks Corporation to glory! My father trusted you so much, but what he got in return was a calamity!"Winston’s face twitched, but he didn't answer.After a while, he said faintly, "Actually, I didn't want to treat him like that. He's always good to me…""Why did you do that even though you knew? You're biting the hand that feeds you!" Maxwell reprimanded.Winston did not refute and smiled bitterly.After a while, Winston looked at Maxwell. "Do you have evidence of the car accident?""I didn’t have proof, but I do now."Winston looked surprised. Maxwell slowly took out a recording pen from his pocket."How dare you trick me!" Winston was instantly enraged. He rushed over and wanted to snatch the r
Maxwell smiled gently at her and fell into Sonnet's arms.Sonnet was startled. She was about to speak when she was stopped by Marcus. "He's too tired. Let him sleep in your arms. On the way back, I asked him to take a nap in the car. He persisted and wanted to see you. After seeing you, he relaxed. He finally couldn't take it anymore."Marcus sighed softly. "When he found out that you were kidnapped, his fever hadn't subsided yet. He sat there for a day and night without eating anything. When he heard that you were kidnapped, he got up and left to look for Winston."Sonnet lowered her eyes and looked at the man in her arms.Was this still her energetic and silly husband? His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and there was green stubble on his chin. He looked like a lonely person who had suffered a blow.She felt a sharp pain in her heart and regretted it. Two days was enough. She shouldn't have tortured him any longer.Marcus walked over and hugged Lindy's waist, gesturing
He slept very comfortably. When Sonnet woke, it was already evening. The setting sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, and a warm orange glow shone on Maxwell's face, making him look extremely good.Sonnet blinked and stared at him without blinking.Her silly husband was really good-looking. Look at his straight nose bridge and deep outline!As she looked, she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers to trace his facial features.'Well, here's the eyebrow, here's the eye, here's the bridge of the nose, here's the nose, here's the lips—'His lips were a little rosier than on other mornings, making one's imagination run wild.Sonnet thought of how Maxwell kissed her in the past, and her heart rippled.Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her hand, and a powerful force pressed her down.Sonnet was startled. When she came back to her senses, Maxwell flipped over and pressed her under him. She looked up at the person in front of her with moist eyes.This teased Maxwell fiercely. H
Her lips parted as soon as they touched. She tried her best to break free from Maxwell’s arms. "Go out and wait first. It’s almost done. If you touch me, it will affect my cooking."Maxwell chuckled and went out obediently.Less than five minutes later, Sonnet came out with two bowls of tomato and egg noodles and sat opposite Maxwell."Hurry up and eat. We'll talk after you're done. I have a lot to tell you!" She pushed the bowl in front of him."Okay, let's eat!" Maxwell shouted childishly. He lowered his head and began to slurp the noodles.Seeing him eat the fragrant noodles, Sonnet could not help but smile. She lowered her head and started eating as well.They ate their noodles quietly. Even if they did not say anything, it was very heartwarming!After eating, Sonnet broke out in a thin sweat, but she felt very comfortable.She watched Maxwell drink the last drop of noodles soup and said, "Let's call it even. The past is the past. Let's not dig up the past and live a good l
"Then why did you continue to pretend even after I knew you were not dead?" she asked again."I… At that time, you were already pregnant, right? I was afraid you would be angry if you knew the truth and affect Lil Three, so I didn't dare to…"Maxwell looked at Sonnet anxiously. "Honey, can you forgive me?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "Didn't I say we're even now? Let's live a good life from now on. If I don't forgive you, how can we live a good life?""We can't call it even, but as long as my wife can forgive me, I'm satisfied," Maxwell insisted.Sonnet felt that her husband might be a little silly and couldn't help but slap his head."Let's not talk about lying anymore. Now, tell me about Winston Brooks. What happened last night? Why did you go to Winston?""Because Winston is that ghost?""Are you sure? Is the evidence conclusive?" Sonnet’s expression changed slightly as she asked.Previously, she had only suspected Winston, but she had a feeling that he didn't seem sinister
The reason Maxwell was so good to the children and willing to spend time with them to become a good father was probably because of this regret in his heart.Because he had lacked a mother's love since he was young, he did not want his children to lack a father's love. That was why he tried his best to make up for the years he had missed."I'll do a good job too. I'll surround you with love and make you the happiest father and husband!" she said to Maxwell affectionately.Maxwell’s expression changed. He held her face very preciously and planted a solemn kiss on her lips.Maxwell wanted to wash the dishes but was stopped by Sonnet. Hence, while she washed the dishes, he peeled fruit.After dinner, they sat on the sofa shoulder to shoulder and fed each other, enjoying the moment.When they were home with the children, the two rarely enjoyed such leisure time alone. Now, they did.Sonnet was still curious about the car accident. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of bringing up
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
