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
Sonnet stopped and looked back at her. There was a smug expression on Maggie’s face. "Aren't you surprised why I’m here?""The Paragon Group is not a prison, anybody can come and go as they please," Sonnet replied coldly.Maggie continued to apply lipstick, and said slowly, "Oh, the color of my lipstick is really pretty, especially on the collar of a white shirt."Sonnet paused in her steps and continued to walk outside.Maggie raised her voice when Sonnet ignored her. "It seems that you don't care enough about your boyfriend. Didn't you notice the lipstick stain on his shirt collar?""You’re saying that you made that lip print, right? Well, now I know, thanks for telling me." Without turning her head, Sonnet said and quickened her pace.She heard Maggie shout angrily. "Men are all the same. Responsibility is one thing. Whether they can control their urges is a different matter!"Sonnet was completely unmoved, turned a corner steadily, and entered the elevator lobby.Maggie's
As they walked out of the headquarters, Sonnet stopped and looked around.Originally, Johnson had promised her that he would get off work early to send her home, but she did not see his car anywhere.She was just about to call him when a car suddenly stopped beside them. Someone poked his head out of the car window. "Sonnet!"Sonnet was slightly taken aback, but before she had time to react, Juliette called out. "Mr. Strombold!"Zachary smiled and nodded at Juliette. Juliette's eyes shone brightly, as if hearts were about to pop out of them."Get in the car. Johnson needed to go on a business trip for something urgent. Before he left, he asked me to pick you up and take you home. I will pick you up for the next few days."Sonnet did not know Zachary well, so she was embarrassed to bother him. "Don't bother, I can go back by myself.""How could this be? Before Johnson left, he specifically asked me to send you home. Something about you being in danger last time, right?" Zachary s
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
