“You don’t seem to be doing well with your wife. She didn’t even clean your house for you when you were away on business for a few days.” Marcus laughed fearlessly.Now that he had successfully pursued Lindy, he was flushed with success.Maxwell rolled his eyes at him and replied with a little frustration, “I wanted to tell her the door code of my house, but she wouldn’t listen.”When Marcus heard this, he burst into laughter. “Why don’t I tell Lindy the code of your house and let her reveal it to Sonnet?”Before he could finish speaking, he was hit in the face by a flying pillow.“Help me clean!” Maxwell snapped.Marcus managed to hold back his laughter and started to help him clean up.While cleaning, Maxwell said dissatisfied, “You handled the divorce case well, but how could you put my wife in danger?”Marcus paused. “What do you mean?”“The guy went to make a fuss in the school that time. What if he pushed her? She’s pregnant with her third child!”Marcus was taken aback
Marcus went upstairs in brisk steps as he hummed a little tune. Just as he reached the fifth floor, he ran into Jaybie standing outside the door."Jaybie? What are you doing outside?" he asked."I’m putting the garbage at the door first to throw it out together later."Marcus saw that there was indeed a plastic bag by his feet.“Oh, let's go in." He was careless. He patted Jaybie on the head and went into the house with him."Uncle Marcus, why did it take you so long to see the car?" Jaybie looked up at him and asked."Oh, I smoked a cigarette." Marcus said what he had thought up before.Jaybie suddenly leaned over to him and took a whiff. "There is no smell of smoke."Marcus coughed twice. "It's a bit windy outside. It must have been blown away long ago."A trace of intensity flashed in Jaybie's eyes. "Uncle Marcus, why did you walk upstairs?""Oh, I thought of getting in some steps, it’s not too high up anyway." Marcus replied quickly and thinking to himself, ‘This little g
Sonnet smiled. "Don't worry, the doctor said my baby is doing well. Nothing would go wrong."She stayed at the Lux Club until the evening before she prepared to go home.Logan offered to take her home in his car, but she refused. A walk in the summer evening was good for her health.Sonnet came out of Lux Club and enjoyed the evening breeze as she walked along the side of the road. She planned to take a short walk before taking a taxi home.Not long after, someone jumped out abruptly from the shadows and pushed her hard.Sonnet was taken aback and fell to the ground. A large foot kicked toward her stomach before she could react.Without a second thought, her first response was to scramble and hide to the side. She managed to protect her stomach, but the large foot landed on her back, causing her extreme pain.She gathered herself and turned around. The person who attacked her turned out to be Ezra."What are you doing?" She yelled."You made me lose my daughter, and I will mak
Usually, she would refuse if he wanted to follow her. However, this time she felt guilty and agreed to let him keep an eye on her!At this moment, Maxwell had to thank Ezra for giving him this opportunity to be inseparable from his wife."Something feels wrong." Sonnet's words brought him back from his ecstasy.He turned to look at Sonnet. "What's wrong?""How did Ezra know that I was pregnant? My stomach is not obvious yet, so he wouldn’t know."She never told Ezra about her pregnancy, and Vespa would never have told him.Maxwell's face darkened. He had suspected that someone was helping Ezra before. This incident confirmed his suspicions even more.‘Who would use Ezra to exact revenge? Could it be that ghost?‘No, no, no, Sonnet has nothing to do with Maxwell now. There is no need for the ghost to attack Sonnet.’"There is indeed a problem with this matter. I will investigate. You don't have to worry about it. You just need to live happily from now on, okay?" He said to Sonne
"I promise to personally walk her out and hand her over to you," Logan said immediately.Maxwell nodded with a smile, turned, and left."Come on, I'll see you off." Logan hurriedly followed.Sonnet turned her head and looked at the two men from the back as they walked away. Why did she feel that for some reason, Mr. Scott was exceptionally timid around Johnson?"Did you feel it?" May's voice sounded beside her.Sonnet turned to look at her and saw that the nanny was full of doubts too. "This is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Scott being so polite to others."She looked at Sonnet as she spoke, "Sonnet, what does your boyfriend do? Is he that powerful that even Mr. Scott has to show reverence to him?""It's not reverence. Mr. Scott is just being polite."Sonnet said this, yet she felt that May was right. To Logan, this level of politeness was considered reverence.May curled her lips. "I've never seen him be so polite to anyone. The last time Young Master Gunn came, he even scolde
"I have investigated. The company had problems with its capital chain long ago. Recently, a backlog of problems was discovered due to a sudden accident, and the company went bankrupt." Carter replied.Maxwell frowned. "You mean, no one is behind the sudden collapse of this company?""Seems like that so far."Maxwell kept silent, then said, "You should dig deeper. Investigate further everyone Ezra Ward had been in contact with recently. If necessary, try to investigate his mobile phone."Carter agreed and hung up the phone.In the afternoon, Carter responded. "I investigated Ezra's communication records and found that he had contacted an unfamiliar number several times recently. I checked the number, it was a black market number. So, I checked the coordinates. The location is actually in the City Center’s cultural square.”"When was the first contact?""The first contact was two days after Ezra reconciled with Lindy. The calls continued until a few days ago. I tried calling that
Laurel hesitated and smiled sheepishly. "That's right. It doesn’t mean anything even if they met."Vespa looked at her meaningfully.Once class was over, Sonnet went to the bathroom. Vespa immediately grabbed Laurel. "You didn’t finish what you meant to say, right?""Yeah, Sonnet was here. I don't know if I should...""Tell me, I'll help you analyze this."Laurel nodded. "I agree. It's better for us to discuss this first. What I didn't say before was when I saw Maggie coming down the stairs, she was buttoning her shirt. There were marks on her neck.""Marks?" Vespa's face changed slightly.Laurel's face was slightly red, "I've never done it, but I’ve seen one before. That was clearly a hickey!""You mean, she was upstairs with the man...""Or else? She can't make that kind of mark on her neck by herself!"Vespa looked out of the window and murmured in a low voice. "There are only two offices upstairs, the president’s and the vice president’s office. When you went down, you sa
Vespa blushed slightly and mocked herself. "Well, I just wanted to find something to talk about, Mr. Yates. How embarrassing, I’m so bad at small talk!""Relax, you don't need to force it, just let nature take its course," Maxwell replied.However, Sonnet felt that Vespa was not the kind of person who had nothing to say.When the car was approaching home, they passed by a vegetable market. Vespa said, "Mr. Yates, please stop by the side of the road. My daughter likes to eat rice cakes here. I'll bring some home for her. Please go back first."Sonnet wanted to follow, but Vespa stopped her. "You’re pregnant, just stay put and wait to eat."After she got out of the car, Maxwell continued to drive. They soon arrived home downstairs.The two entered the elevator one by one. As Maxwell bent down to press the elevator, Sonnet turned, and her eyes suddenly fell on his collar.His shirt was white, so the red lipstick mark on the left back collar was very obvious.She froze for a moment
