Sonnet turned her head to look at Vespa, and Vespa immediately took the hint and said, “Um, I have to go to the bathroom. You guys talk first.”She got up and left, and Sonnet said to Vernon, “About five years ago, around September 20th, a group of young people came to Lil Lux Club to drink and celebrate someone’s birthday. Do you remember that?”Vernon shook his head and said, “Lil Lux Club was doing very well at that time. I don’t know how many young people come by every day. How could I remember?”Sonnet thought for a moment and then asked, “Then do you know Kenji and Tre?”Since Vernon used to be a small-time thug who fought and brawled, he might know them.Sure enough, Vernon’s face changed slightly as he asked, “Didn’t Kenji and Tre die?”When Sonnet heard this, her hope was ignited. “It was exactly that night. Kenji and Tre went to Lil Lux Club and got into a fight with someone. Do you remember?”Vernon did not answer for a while, and Sonnet’s heartbeat accelerated.Afte
“It should have been the bodyguards of Harbor City’s Big Four,” said Vernon..“Harbor City’s Big Four?!” Sonnet was shocked. “Are you sure?”Harbor City’s Big Four were Hayden, Logan, Howard, and Matteo. As far as she knew, the relationships among the four, except for Matteo, were very good.She saw it when she tagged along with Maxwell at Will’s birthday party. Hayden, Logan, and Howard were sitting together, laughing and chatting.“How could I be wrong about Harbor City’s Big Four?” Vernon said a little irritably, probably because Sonnet questioned him.“They all came that night?”“As far as I know, Logan didn’t come. I’m not sure about the others.”“How are you certain?”“Logan is one of the top figures in our business. If he came, could we not know?”Sonnet nodded. He did make some sense.“However, why would they go to Lil Lux Club?”Logan himself had a nightclub. If they wanted to play, would it not be more convenient to go to a Lux Club? Why would they go to the fake L
Gunn Corporation’s pharmaceutical factory was in Harbor City’s development zone, and because of its remote location, the office buildings here were scattered small buildings, unlike the valuable high-rise buildings in the center of Harbor City.The taxi stopped at the gate of Gunn Corporation’s Medical Factory, and Sonnet asked to see Hayden. The doorman would not let her in and insisted that she call Hayden first.Sonnet called Hayden, but the line was busy, so she had to wait.The doorman looked at her and said, "Miss, Young Master Gunn is a famous person. I don’t know how many girls have used the same excuse as you to try to get in. I can’t let you in unless I hear from Young Master Gunn himself that you can be let in!”Sonnet was helpless and had to call Hayden’s phone again, but it was still busy, and she did not know what he was doing right now.She could not stand the doorman constantly scrutinizing her, so she walked along the factory fence.As she walked, she saw a tenni
Hayden fell silent for a moment before responding, “I still have another meeting to go. Why don’t you go in first and wait for me?”Sonnet handed her phone to the doorman, who then let her in. She followed the instructions given by the doorman and went to the vice president's office. The secretary handed her a cup of coffee and said, “Miss Turner, Mr. Gunn asked you to wait for him for a while.”Sonnet thanked the secretary, who then left the room. The office door was slightly ajar.Sonnet took a sip of coffee and surveyed Hayden’s office. The decoration style was similar to the one in the hospital. Sure enough, people’s preferences would seldom change. Outside, she heard the voices of two women talking. She peeked through the crack in the door and saw the secretary gossiping with another woman.“Did you know that someone saw Mr. Gunn having dinner with a famous internet celebrity last night? And that lady seems to be some sort of internet influencer as well!”“What’s so strange
“Science won’t lie, and this method is the most accurate. Even if you ask him face-to-face, you may not get the truth.” Lindy nodded heavily.Sonnet remained silent.This method was indeed good, and it would save her from all the speculations, but how could she obtain his sample?As she was thinking about this, her phone suddenly rang. She looked down and saw that it was Hayden. Her heart skipped a beat.She took a deep breath and answered the phone. Hayden’s voice came from the other end. “Sonnet, didn’t you come to see me today for something? Why did you leave?”“Uh… Well… It’s not a big deal.” Sonnet’s mind raced. “It’s just that you’ve helped me out a lot before, so this time I wanted to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude. Also, I wanted to ask about Jaybie’s bone marrow matching situation.”“I’ve been keeping an eye on Jaybie’s bone marrow results, but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a suitable donor yet,” Hayden said apologetically. “Forget about the meal.
Maxwell’s wife had invited him to dinner, so how could he not report it to him? However, when he reported it, this green-eyed monster gave him the cold shoulder instead.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this person shamelessly wormed his way into Sonnet’s house!“Let me introduce you. This is my neighbor, Johnson Yates, and he’s my friend, Hayden Gunn.”Sonnet introduced them quickly, afraid of there being an awkward silence between the two men.Hayden grinned and extended his hand to Maxwell. “Hello, nice to meet you!”Maxwell shook his hand and secretly applied some pressure. “Nice to meet you!” Hayden winced in pain. Why, this childish guy was deliberately squeezing him!“Johnson helped me take Jaybie to the hospital before, and he happened to be at home today, so I invited him over. You won’t mind, would you, Young Master Gunn?” Sonnet asked.Hayden quickly waved his hand. “No, no, the more the merrier!”Sonnet smiled and invited Hayden to sit down while she brought
“Oh, Uncle Hayden, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” Lune immediately apologized to Hayden while bowing down slightly. How could Hayden blame Lune when she was being so obedient? Besides, Maxwell was staring at him with a stony expression on his face right now. He did not dare to chastise her at all. He resisted the pain and waved his hands at Lune. “It’s alright. You’re a good girl since you didn’t do it on purpose.”Sonnet immediately rushed over. She grabbed the fork from Hayden’s hand and apologized to him, “Children are always careless. I’m so sorry. Did you get wounded? Do you need to get it treated?” Hayden noticed Lune’s red-rimmed eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. He chuckled and said, “She poked me lightly. I’m fine. It’s alright. Don’t ruin the child’s mood just because of such a small incident.” He then coaxed Lune, “I’m fine! Don’t mind it at all.” Lune finally smiled and said, “You’re such a nice person, Uncle Hayden!” Maxwell felt extremely jealous when
Lindy then told Lune, “Lune, let it be. He just held your mom’s hand. If he doesn’t do anything to overstep her boundaries, we should just stay put. You can punish him again if he does anything like that. We must give him a chance to correct himself, right?” Lune thought about it for a while before nodding and saying, “You’re right. I’ll let him go this time around. Help me pay attention to him, Aunt Lindy. If he does it again, we won’t go easy on him.”“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you pay attention to him!” Lindy said at once. When it was time for them to have their meals, Jaybie pushed Myles out. Although Myles was paralyzed, he spoke extremely well. The atmosphere at dinner was extremely nice. Maxwell felt jealous again when he saw Myles and Hayden chatting away happily. He was furious at Hayden.After dinner, everyone gathered to eat some fruit. He came up with an excuse to leave early. Hayden did not dare to stay in Sonnet’s place either. He left after chatting with
