The next moment, she felt a tight grip on her arm and was helped up with force.Only then did she see that the person who had saved her was Logan!She widened her eyes in surprise. "CEO Scott, you…" Why are you here? Did you follow me in?“You left your phone in my car.” Logan opened his palm. In it was Zyra's phone."It seems like you predicted that you would be in danger, so you deliberately left your phone in my car?" He smiled jokingly."CEO Scott, these people are from Second Brother Redford's side." The driver rushed over and looked at the two men lying on the ground.Logan didn't even look at the two. He said calmly, "Take care of it."The driver responded and pulled the two men away, leaving Logan and Zyra standing face to face.Zyra bowed slightly. "Thank you, CEO Scott.""Only saying thank you? Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"Zyra looked up in surprise and saw a hint of mischief in his eyes."Then… there's a cafe outside the district. Shall I tr
Zyra was stunned. When she came back to her senses, her breath had already been completely invaded by the man's scent.She pushed the man hard. His chest was as hard as a rock, and he did not move.She punched the man's shoulder again, but the man still did not move. He even increased his aggression.In the end, Zyra gritted her teeth hard and bit. Logan groaned and finally let go of her.Zyra pushed him away and scolded coldly, "CEO Scott, you'd better leave now, or I'll call the police!"Logan looked at her in a daze as if he didn't understand what she was saying. His eyes were red and filled with love and madness."Yasmin, don't leave me, don't leave me!" He babbled. His large hand pressed on the back of Zyra's head, and he kissed her again."Wuwuwu!" Zyra whimpered and struggled with all her might. The man's hands were like iron pincers, restraining her and preventing her from escaping.Zyra's heart was in a mess, and tears welled up in her eyes.Cold and salty tears flowe
What was wrong with her?She was a rational woman. How could she be overwhelmed by a man's deep love for another woman? Could it be that she wanted to be a substitute?Zyra was distraught and rubbed her face with all her might.Crazy, I'm crazy! One night is enough. I can't continue to be crazy!At this thought, she got out of bed and walked quickly to the bathroom.As the warm water washed over her body, she gradually relaxed. At the same time, the decision in her heart became clearer.After getting out, she planned to have a clear conversation with that man. Although she initially resisted last night, she eventually went along with it. So, let's consider it as a mutual physical need and leave it at that. Let's never meet again!When she returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, the bed was already empty. The man who had been sleeping soundly on the bed had disappeared without a trace.Zyra had already thought of what she wanted to say in her heart. She had even rehearsed
The two men turned and Zyra said coldly, "I've already made it very clear to you. I don't know Jonas Walsh. If you come looking for me again, I'll call the police—"Before she could finish, she saw the two men kneeling in front of her!"Miss Wilkis, it's our fault for harassing you previously. We're here to apologize to you today. Miss Wilkis, you're magnanimous, so don't call the police, right?"Zyra's mouth formed an "O" shape.Apologize? What was going on?! These people actually came to apologize and even begged her not to call the police?!If he was really afraid of her calling the police, he shouldn't have come. He wasn't a kind person, so why would he especially come to apologize?She finally found her voice. "Well, as long as you don't come looking for me again, of course, I won't call the police."The two men were overjoyed. "We definitely won't look for Miss Wilkis again in future. Don't worry!""Get up. Let's go." Seeing them kneeling, Zyra felt a little uncomfortable
"Drive!" Logan said to the driver.The car started up and sped away.Zyra calmed down and struggled to sit down.She looked at Logan coldly. "CEO Scott, what are you doing? Are you going to kidnap someone in broad daylight?!"Logan scratched his head. "I know you're angry about what happened last night. I'm sorry. I drank a little last night and was a little drunk."At first, he was not drunk last night. However, when he saw Zyra applying medicine on him, he suddenly missed Yasmin. After that, he went crazy.After waking up in the morning, he realized that he had done something wrong and immediately regretted it. However, he did not know how to face Zyra, so he could only leave first."Now, rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who denies responsibility. Whatever you need from me, I will take responsibility."Wang Zhizhen's face turned red. "Deny responsibility? What a rude thing to say!"Suppressing her racing heart, she pretended to be indifferent. "CEO Scott, you're over
"CEO Scott, you should stop your domineering behavior. Don't think that all women like this tone," Zyra lowered her eyes and said."Can you listen to me if I do that?" Logan let go of her and rubbed the back of his hand that was hurting from the bite.Zyra remained silent.Looking at her defensive and prickly demeanor, Logan sighed. "I'm here to help you.""I don't need your help," Zyra said immediately."Your brother—""I don't have a brother!" Zyra interrupted him emotionally.Logan smiled bitterly. "Alright, you don't have a brother. It's Jonas. Jonas owes Second Brother Redford a huge sum of money. Even if you don't want to pay the interest, you still have to pay the principal.""What does it have to do with me?" Zyra straightened her neck and said."It has nothing to do with you. Just take it that I'm informing you. I helped him pay the money he owed, but he had to pay me back. He didn't have money, so he had to pay me back with labor. So from today onwards, Jonas will wo
It could be considered picking up girls, but this girl…Helpless, he put on his 3D glasses and suddenly saw a large chainsaw on the screen coming toward him!The effect was so realistic that he instinctively dodged to the side and hugged the arm of the woman beside him.The chainsaw fell in front of him, and blood splattered everywhere. Hayden felt as if his leg had been sawed off, and he fumbled to touch it.A sneer sounded from the side. "Didn't you say that you're not afraid? It's not embarrassing for a man to speak the truth."Hayden immediately straightened his back and widened his eyes as he watched the movie. "I'm not afraid!""Then why are you shrinking? Are you afraid of blood? Didn't you study medicine?""I'm not afraid of anything!" Hayden retorted loudly.As soon as he finished speaking, the dismembered body jumped in front of him. Hayden couldn't help but cover his mouth and run out!Hayden ran to the bathroom and retched a few times before washing his face with c
"Yeah, look at the beautiful love. It's so romantic and wonderful."Suki said calmly, "Love is just physical attraction caused by hormones."She looked at Hayden with a faint smile. "Because of the physiological structure of men, sex is more important to them."Hayden: "…"'Are all forensic pathologists so straightforward?'He took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "According to what you said, that's why that man and woman are together?""Without any other purpose, that's it."Hayden deliberately leaned toward her and lowered his voice. "Is that why I watched the movie with you?"When he spoke, he deliberately blew into her ear with a hint of teasing. In his experience, women usually had two reactions. One was shyly blush, and the other was flirtatious.He wanted to see what kind of woman Suki would be!Unexpectedly, Suki didn't seem to feel anything at all. She turned to look at him. "Do you have other motives?""No."She nodded seriously. "Then it's probably for that
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
