Skylar was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned grim. "It’s Sonnet! She’s the one who got me into this mess!"The call ended, and Sonnet came out of the corner with Ruby by her side."Ruby, you betrayed me!" Skylar yelled at Ruby.Ruby flinched, hid behind Sonnet, and said, "All you ever do is nasty things, so you deserve it. How am I betraying you?!"Skylar snarled and jumped at Ruby. When Ruby screamed and dodged, Skylar turned to the side and jumped at Sonnet.Sonnet dodged quickly, landed a kick on Skylar's waist, and caused her to fall to the ground with a yelp.Sonnet walked up to Skylar and looked at her condescendingly. "Skylar, you and I could’ve stayed out of each other's way. You could’ve lived your life as a university graduate and enjoyed the rich life you’ve always wanted, but you insisted on picking on someone like me whose highest qualification is a high school diploma."It's fine that you want to mess with me, but how could you use others to do it? Y
"Mmph…" Skylar was terrified.After a while, she heard some soft footsteps, and a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of her.She looked up along the leather shoes and saw a stern and familiar face."Mmph!" She widened her eyes in surprise.Logan bent down and tore off the tape that sealed her mouth. He said in a neutral tone, "Don't be afraid. I'll bring you somewhere nice.""Where are you taking me?! I'm not going!" Skylar shouted."That's not up to you." Logan raised his brows, the scar at the corner of his eye slightly twitching. It made him look a little scary.Skylar's body trembled, and she did not dare to speak. After a while, she stammered, "You… You’re illegally detaining—"Before she could finish her sentence, Logan interrupted with a deep laugh."Oh, is that right? It's an overseas labor dispatch that you’re going to voluntarily.""What do you mean by overseas labor dispatch?!""You can't find a job in Harbor City, so you decided to go work abroad. The
It turned out that Skylar's best friend was Jessie!No wonder Skylar had insisted that Maxwell was mentally handicapped from the start!At that time, she wondered how Skylar was so sure that Maxwell had special needs since she had never had much contact with him. It was apparent that she heard it from Jessie!Sonnet believed that Jessie was involved in Skylar's plans against her!Jessie held Martha Cole's arm, and they had just come out of a high-end women's clothing store. She was talking to Martha with her head tilted, acting like an innocent and spoiled princess."Skylar's best friend is Jessie. She’s rich and beautiful. Her family seems to be involved in real estate." Juliette introduced them to Sonnet, "The woman next to her who’s adorned in gold and silver seems to be her mother. I heard that Jessie grew up being everyone’s favorite at home!"‘Everyone’s favorite, huh…’It was ridiculous that they treated their foster daughter like she was a treasure but left their biolo
Sonnet was not angry in the least. She looked indifferent as she said, "Yes, the funny thing is that some rags believe that they’re actually rich when the reality is that they just happen to accidentally fall into a rich family."After she said that, Jessie was stunned for a moment before she understood what Sonnet meant. She was furious and said, "Sonnet, who are you calling a rag?""I didn't say who, but I think you seem to have related the story to yourself. Ms. Cole, you’re the Coles’ favorite child and heir of Coles Group. How can you call yourself a rag?"Sonnet said sarcastically and deliberately emphasized ‘the Coles’ favorite child,’ which made Jessie red with anger."Sonnet! Mind your words!" she yelled.Sonnet ignored her and turned to look at the shopping assistant. "Please ask this lady to take off the dress. We’re ready to pay now."The shopping assistant looked at Jessie awkwardly and then at Sonnet.Someone said, "Who dares to make my darling daughter take off he
"How dirty can a body be? I'm just afraid that the heart is dirty and ends up polluting everything else," Sonnet said in a casual tone."Sonnet, you!" Jessie was so angry that she was about to jump.Sonnet took two steps closer and said into her ear, "Did you tell Skylar that my husband is mentally challenged?"Jessie's mouth moved, but no words came out of it."Jessie, if you want to make things difficult for me, I can make it difficult for you to live a good life. The worst case is that we fight like Kilkenny cats. Try me if you don't believe me!" Sonnet said through gritted teeth.It was likely that her fierceness frightened Jessie. Her eyes widened, but she did not dare to say a word.Sonnet ignored her, turned around, and left.On the way back, Juliette was excited and asked Sonnet tons of questions, "Sonnet, you know Jessie and her mother?!""Yeah.""How do you know each other?" Juliette asked curiously."We've known each other since childhood."She had known them sinc
Martha was not a big fan of Sonnett either, but judging by her appearance at the last birthday party, she might have hooked up with some bigwig.Hence, it was better not to stir up trouble with Sonnet. She was still her biological mother, and when Sonnet got rich, the Coles could ride on her coattails.Between the family’s interests and loving her daughter, she would resolutely choose the family’s interests.Jessie saw her mother’s displeasure and did not dare to say anything else, but she secretly cursed at Sonnet in her heart.She did not believe that she could not compete with that country bumpkin. Jessie thought that she must find a powerful man to be her boyfriend and crush that girl in every aspect!…After Skylar disappeared, Sonnet’s life was going well.She would devote herself wholeheartedly when she went to work, and her colleagues were very nice as well. After work, she was able to visit her children and father. She had a great relationship with Maxwell.When classe
Sonnet ran out of the door and just happened to see the Robinson family’s sedan turning around. She hurriedly ran over and pulled the car door while tapping on the window. “Stop! Stop the car!”However, instead of stopping, the car accelerated.Sonnet almost fell and had to let go of the car door handle.The engine roared as the car sped away.Sonnet watched the rear of the car and grew anxious. Tami had repeatedly entrusted her to take good care of Izzy, but she had let her down! She could not just stand there, so she took a deep breath and continued to chase after the car. She remembered the license plate number and knew it was not too late to chase after it. She had to get to that car!Sonnet had just run a few steps when someone suddenly grabbed her arm with force.She turned her head and saw that it was Fatso.She had been so focused on the car that she did not notice someone walking next to her.“Miss Turner, what are you running after?”Sonnet exclaimed like she
Samuel’s face twitched. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about! Get out of here!”Fatso ignored him and strode forward to carry Izzy.However, Samuel quickly held Izzy tightly and said, “What are you doing? She’s my daughter!”“Your daughter? You have such a cute daughter? I think you’re just a fake!” Fatso rudely cursed out.The two of them tried to grab Izzy, but she did not cry. She only stared at the two of them with a frightened expression in her eyes.Sonnet could not bear to watch anymore. While Fatso and Samuel were struggling, she rushed forward and forcefully grabbed Izzy over.Izzy immediately hugged Sonnet’s neck and pressed her body tightly into Sonnet’s arms.“Don’t be afraid, Izzy. It’s okay, it's okay!” Sonnet soothed her gently while stroking her back.Samuel pushed hard against Fatso and rushed toward Sonnet. “What are you doing? She’s my daughter. Give her back to me!”Sonnet dodged sideways and said coldly, “You and Tami have already divorced. She’s not
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
