"This woman wants to duck out and even beat up our men! Grab her and teach her a lesson!" the pimp yelled fiercely.Several burly men rushed toward Lindy together.Lindy took advantage of her dexterity, dodged left and right, and gave them a few flying kicks.Several of the men were severely injured, but in the end, there were a lot of them, and they had tough skin. After being kicked by her, they rested for a bit and joined in the fight soon after. Lindy could not handle the numerous men and soon lost her strength.She was unsure who attacked her from behind, but she felt a sudden pain in her knees and she knelt heavily on the ground.After that, her arms were twisted backward, and the pain made her see stars.The pimp walked in front of her and said condescendingly, "You think you're capable of evading us?!"He said and handed the QR code to her. "Scan the code, pay us 150,000 dollars, and we’ll let you go after it goes through!""150,000?! This is extortion!" Lindy said angr
Sonnet said and pulled out a map from her phone. "She has her GPS turned on. I found her location. She’s here!""I'll go rescue her with you!" Maxwell said immediately.Sonnet wanted to make a call. "I'll call the police first.""Don't rush to call the police. We don't know what's going on, so let's go and deal with it ourselves for now!" Maxwell said.Sonnet hesitated and asked, "Do you think that the two of us are enough?"Maxwell thought to himself that she did not have to worry as her husband alone was more than capable to deal with anything. Just as he was about to convince her that he could do it, Sonnet had already called Marcus. "Mr. Pine, Lindy seems to be in some sort of a pickle. I don't know who to ask for help. Can I trouble you… Okay, I'll send you her location…”Marcus was a lawyer, so if there was any money dispute, he could help to see if it was illegal or not.Sonnet was nervous, and Marcus was even more nervous than her. After he hung up the phone, he drove
The men from the club did not expect Marcus to be so good at fighting. They were all taken aback.At that moment, Lindy quickly kicked the burly man guarding her and grabbed the pimp by the neck."Stop it at once or I’ll hurt him!" she shouted while exerting force through her hands.The pimp was a frail man. His face turned red immediately, and he shouted, "Don't move. Don't move, all of you!"The burly men had no choice but to stop what they were doing. Marcus ran to Lindy's side in less than three steps and asked, "Are you injured?"Lindy smiled at him and replied, "Do I look hurt?"Marcus nodded in relief. "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"Lindy's heart felt a gush of warmth. She smiled brightly at him and replied, "Okay."The two held the pimp hostage and walked out. When they were halfway through, Sonnet and Johnson ran in. All of them left the club without a hitch.Lindy pushed the pimp forward and got into Marcus' car, and the two cars then sped off.While he drove, Marcus
"Why did you regret it?" He could not help but ask."I… I..." Lindy bit her lip and murmured, "I can't stand them touching me..."Marcus felt happy again.‘She’s still my white rose! At her core, she’s still a good girl. She couldn’t even if she wanted to do something out of line.’"You don't think those men are dirty?!" he said.Lindy lowered her head and did not dare to refute. She had already told him everything and was embarrassed. She did not have the face to refute him.Marcus said quietly, "If you want to find a man next time, come to me."Lindy looked up at him in surprise!Marcus was surprised that it had slipped out of his mouth. He coughed twice and said, "I'll help you with meditation and make sure you get rid of unwanted desires!"‘That's what he meant…’Lindy's heart was beating like a drum, but her heartbeat slowed down when she heard that. She then buried her head and replied with a muffled ‘oh.’‘I feel a little disappointed. What's going on?’Marcus did no
Two hours later, Lindy was sitting at Marcus' desk, buttoning her top.Her cheeks were flushed, and there were thin beads of sweat on her nose.As she looked around, she saw that the office supplies were scattered all over the floor. She was so ashamed that she almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.She was unsure whether it was Marcus who kissed her first or she kissed him first. Nonetheless, it happened and it was a blast!Marcus straightened his clothes with his back to her. He also had an unnatural expression on his face."Uh... I need to get something sorted. Wait for me here." There was still a dull hoarseness in his voice.Lindy replied with a muffled hum, and he left quickly.Lindy looked at his back, and she could not tell how she felt.She could use being drunk as an excuse the other day, but she had no excuse for what just happened.She was not drunk, and neither was he! They both consented to it and yearned for each other’s bodies!She sighed soft
The car slowed slightly, and Marcus' grip on the steering wheel tightened.No one was drunk this time, and he could feel her enthusiasm. However, she just told him that they should see each other less. ‘Does she just want me for my body? Does she feel nothing toward me emotionally?’Although his heart hurt a little, he still replied in a gentle tone, "Okay, I’ll do as you say."Lindy sneaked a glance at him and felt a little uncomfortable seeing him looking at the road ahead seriously.It seemed that he also thought that it was better for them to meet less. He was afraid that his lover would find out that he was cheating.She became a little angry, but then she snapped out of it and cursed at herself.‘I meddled in his relationship, and I know that I’m in the wrong, so I proposed to meet him less. Why do I feel angry and sad now?‘Lindy, oh, Lindy, you’re becoming more and more of a b*tch now!‘No, I can never let myself be someone’s mistress!’She made up her mind and readjus
Lindy took two days off to rest at home and then went back to work. Once she got back, she heard her colleagues gossiping. “Really? Was he really that similar?”“Probably 80% alike!”“If there’s such a host around, Lucas Mack’s fans will probably have already broken through the threshold of that club!”Lindy’s heart skipped a beat. Were they talking about the same club where she had caused a scene?“What are you girls talking about?” She leaned over to inquire more.“You probably wouldn’t know since you haven’t been here for the past two days. The police raided a host club, and there’s a host who looks a lot like Lucas Mack!”“Raided by the police?” Lindy was startled.“Yeah, there’s even a video online. Netizens found that the host looks like Lucas, so it immediately became a hot topic. There were rumors and even people saying that it was Lucas himself! Lucas’ agent came out to clarify and released his working photos, saying he’s currently overseas.”Lindy was not worried abou
It was not that at all. He did it for her! Marcus could not stand the thought of Lindy getting hurt by those people. He had to help her vent her anger.Lindy remained silent. In her view, Marcus should not be those impulsive, hot-blooded type. He was very rational, calm, and mature. There were at least a few dozen clubs like that in this city. Did he really go and report the club just for the sake of justice?She had a feeling he did it for her, to help her vent her anger. Nonetheless, she could not bring herself to say it in front of him. It would make her sound presumptuous.Lindy sighed lightly, softening her voice. “Is it bad?”“Just five stitches.”“That’ll leave a scar!”“Won’t it be more handsome for a man to have a scar?” Marcus shook his head and looked at her with a burning gaze. “What do you think?”Lindy laughed. “Quite handsome, indeed.”The waiter brought them the coffee they had ordered. Marcus lowered his head to take a sip, but he suddenly made a hissin
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
