After dinner, Sonnet listened to Lindy talk about what happened last night.Alex called Maxwell as soon as he noticed that she disappeared from the women's bathroom, and Maxwell called Marcus and Logan to go over with him.This warehouse was some distance away from Film City. It was hard to see at night, and there were not many people around, so Alex searched for a long time but could not find them.When Maxwell and the others arrived, the warehouse was on fire and they found the warehouse by following the illumination from the fire.All they found was a quilt that Lindy saw in the small room. It was probably left by the group who kidnapped Sonnet.Maxwell grabbed the wet quilt and rushed into the fire to rescue Sonnet without a second thought. The others were delayed because they had to find quilts and other things to put out the fire and save people.Who would have thought that after such a delay, Maxwell was gone forever...Afterward, Marcus and Alex blamed themselves a lot f
Lindy turned her head and saw Sonnet standing at the door of the ward, looking at them.She woke up when Lindy placed her on the bed. She heard Marcus' voice outside and hurried out just in time to hear about the gas cylinder."Where was the gas cylinder? I didn't see any gas cylinders in the warehouse!" she exclaimed."I heard that there were several small gas cylinders in the locker," Marcus replied.Sonnet clenched her fists angrily and said, "Those people were determined to kill us!"Marcus did not answer.Sonnet bit her bloodshot lips and looked at him. "Have those who kidnapped me been found?""I’ve asked someone to investigate but haven’t heard anything back yet.""Let me know as soon as they find anything!" Sonnet said in a deep voice.Marcus looked at her rather worriedly.Sonnet smiled sadly and said, "I can hold myself together. Don't worry. I must find out who wanted to harm me and Maxwell. I won’t hesitate even if I have to spend my whole life trying to find them
Maxwell’s funeral was held two days later. Marcus was the one who arranged everything as Sonnet did not have the strength to intervene. She merely sat in mourning early in the morning of the funeral, sitting on the widow’s designated seat. Meanwhile, Jaybie and Lune wore mourning clothes for Maxwell and obediently sat next to Sonnet.Upon learning of Maxwell‘s death, the two children cried bitterly, and Jaybie was almost out of breath from sobbing.Sonnet knew that the two children had developed a deep relationship with Maxwell during the more than half a year they spent together.It was Jaybie who suggested wearing mourning clothes for Maxwell. He was small in size but understood the situation well. He said that Maxwell needed the two children to see him off, and he and Lune were willing to wear funeral attire for him.Sonnet had just sat down for a while when Will arrived with his children, looking sorrowful. He was the head of the Brooks family, and Maxwell was his nephew. E
Welson leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice as he said, “Look at how haggard you are. If you cry until you’re sick, Uncle Welson here will have a heartache because of you!”He thought that Sonnet was now helpless and could only endure his verbal teasing. Yet unexpectedly, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.The sound of the slap echoed through the hall, and the guests who were previously talking suddenly quieted down.Welson had said his last few words quietly, so no one heard him. Now the guests were all looking at the widow and the Brooks family’s third master with a gossipy look on their faces.Welson was stunned for a moment. He held his face in a daze before coming back to his senses.“You’re out of your mind! How dare you hit your elders?!” He pointed at Sonnet and roared, reaching out to slap her.Sonnet stepped back to get out of the way and took out her phone, playing back the recording of Welson teasing her just now.The moment she saw Welson
When the funeral ended, Sonnet asked Marcus about the investigation again.“I’ve already sent someone to look for the guy who serviced the car, and Logan is also looking for the people who kidnapped you. There’ll be news in a few days, so don’t worry!”Sonnet nodded. “Be sure to tell me when there’s any result. If I’m going to take revenge, I want to do it myself!”Marcus nodded heavily.Lindy walked in from outside and said, “Sonnet, do you know who I saw just now?”“Who?”“Jessie! She was sitting in Welson’s car. As soon as he got in, she wrapped her arms around his neck. It looks like she got mixed up with Welson now.”Sonnet sneered. “She couldn’t get anything from the son, so she latched onto the father!”“Do you think what happened before had something to do with Jessie?” Lindy’s voice rose slightly.Sonnet’s face darkened.Hiring someone to rape her and film it did seem like something Jessie would do. She turned to Marcus, and he was quickly inspired. He nodded and s
Jessie thought about it and planned to find fault with Sonnet in the next few days and settle past grievances.Then, the doorbell rang.She put down the highball glass in her hand, pulled down one of the straps of her camisole dress, and twisted her body to open the door. “Third Master—” As she opened the door, she called out coquettishly.However, the response she got was a loud smack!Her cheek burned with pain, and she saw stars in her eyes.It took her a while to come to her senses, and she saw a skinny woman standing at the door.She was about to curse at her, but the words got stuck in her throat. She had met this woman before at Will’s birthday party. She was Welson’s wife, Rebecca!In any case, Jessie was just a shameless mistress, and she still felt a pang of a guilty conscience when she saw the wife. Rebecca slapped her again, and the sound of the slap resounded through the corridor.Jessie felt her eyes go dark. She barely managed to hold onto the doorframe and n
It was not known how long it took for Jessie’s convulsing body to gradually calm down. She covered her face, which was half stained with blood, and struggled to climb up from the ground.Tap, tap, tap!The crisp sound of footsteps echoed on the ground. Jessie turned her head and saw a slender figure walking toward her.She squinted before she could see who was coming, and her expression changed instantly. “Sonnet Turner, what are you doing here?”“I came here specifically to look for you!” Sonnet replied.Jessie was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood. “So it was you! You did this, didn’t you?!”As she spoke, she rushed over to grab Sonnet, but an agile figure rushed over and kicked Jessie to the ground.Lindy stood with her arms akimbo, looking at the disheveled Jessie. “You can play tricks behind our backs, but can’t we fight back? Besides, if you don’t want people to know, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. If you didn’t do anything wrong, you wouldn
“You’re lying to me! Welson hired those people, and you said it wasn’t him?! Who would believe that?!”“It really wasn’t him! When he gave orders to those people, I was right beside him. He really wasn’t planning to burn your husband to death! Besides, if I wanted to make a movie about you and it was successful, of course, I would want to show it to people. Why would I want to burn you? If I did, why would I even bother making the movie?”At a critical moment, Jessie’s brain suddenly became active, and a bunch of words spewed out like a machine gun.Sonnet turned around and threw the ball of fire, which was about to burn her hand, into the sink and then left.Lindy followed and left, leaving Jessie standing there alone, looking foolish.She was a little dazed and did not know how Sonnet could suddenly let her go so easily. She felt a bit uncomfortable down below. When she reached out, she found that her pants were wet!When Jessie felt like she was about to be burned to death, sh
