The employee of the repair shop was proactive in helping Maxwell to contact his friend and promised to give him an update soon enough. Maxwell gave him more tips and let the matter be.Maxwell was lost in thought after the man left.He also had a work vehicle which Walter often used to drive business partners and friends around.The Bentley that got into an accident was mostly driven by him, and he rarely drove irrelevant people. There were only a handful of people who had ridden in this car, and they were all his acquaintances. He wondered who among these people would monitor him.He went through all the people who might have sat in his car in his mind. After much deliberation, he could not think of other possibilities except for the temporary driver and the mechanics from the workshop who maintained his car.He decided to wait for the employee from the repair shop to get back to him first!He drove to the office and received a call from Carter Smith on his way there. "Mr. Brook
"Where's Aunt York?" he asked casually.Since Sonnet became pregnant, Sophia had taken over the heavy responsibility of cooking for the family. Although the two families lived opposite each other, they ate together like an actual family."She went out with Lindy and Marcus," Sonnet replied while cooking.The smoke was a bit overwhelming, so she coughed twice.Maxwell immediately went to untie her apron and said, "You’d better go and rest. I'll ask Winnie to do it.""She needs to give Dad a massage...""I'll give Dad a massage," Maxwell said without any hesitation.Sonnet turned around and looked at him. "What did you call my dad?"Only then did Maxwell realize that it had slipped his tongue. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I repeated what you said without thinking too much of it. It's not ‘Dad’, it’s ‘Myles’!"Sonnet rolled her eyes. "Make sure this doesn’t happen again.""I'll be sure to pay attention the next time." He had a great attitude as he admitted his mistake. He ra
Marcus' voice suddenly rose. "What do you mean you can't reach Lindy? Didn't you and her go into the room? She went out?"Then, their call ended abruptly. Maxwell had a bad feeling, so he immediately called Carter. "Do you know anyone in Southampton City? Immediately deploy some people to help Mr. Pine. You have his phone number and can contact him directly."Carter realized that something happened from Maxwell's tone and immediately agreed to it before he hung up the phone.Maxwell could not sleep at all, so he went to the front of his computer to handle his work. Around midnight, Marcus called. "Thank you, Maxwell. We found Lindy all thanks to Carter and the people he found to help us.""How’s Lindy doing?""She's fine. She just sprained her ankle.""What happened?" Maxwell asked.Marcus stayed silent for a while before he replied, "We'll go back in the morning. Let's talk when we get back." After a pause, he added, "Make sure Sonnet doesn’t overhear our conversation. Let’s
"The two had noticed her following them for some time, so they hid and attacked her after she entered the zoo. They carried her to a room, woke her up, and questioned her on why she followed them. Lindy was alert and ran out when they weren't paying attention."It was dark when they were chasing after her. Lindy accidentally fell into a ravine and sprained her ankle, so she had to hide behind a big rock. The two men couldn't find her, so they decided to guard the gate and come look for her again when it was daytime. After that, we came and found her.""Did you find out from those two about what's going on?" Maxwell asked.Marcus looked at him and said, "This is what I wanted to talk to you about today. One of these men is named Dominic Langdon. He’s a caretaker at Southampton City Forest Wildlife Park. The other is Berg Strombold, a villager from a nearby village."Maxwell's heart skipped a beat. "Berg Stromboold!"He had heard the name from Carter and knew that Berg had given Ezr
Carter responded before he hung up the phone. He called again in the afternoon, "Mr. Brooks, I found out that the account that transferred money to Berg belongs to Mr. Strombold!"Maxwell kept silent. ‘It's really Zachary!’"One more thing. I've already found out where Maggie Kimmel is. Now, I'm asking my friend over there to help me find her. After I find her, I can ask her for details.""Okay, the most important thing is to understand who made her do what she did. Call me once you find out," Maxwell replied.He hung up the phone and changed into a fresh set of clothes as he planned to meet Zachary at the office. He wanted to ask him why he sent money to Berg and asked Berg to attack Sonnet, along with why Zachary was spying on him!He drove to the office, but Zachary was not there."Mr. Strombold left in a hurry shortly after he came in the afternoon. I don't know where he went," Zachary’s assistant said to Maxwell.Maxwell called Zachary but could not get through. He wondered
"Before that, he gave me some photos and asked me to send them to Sonnet to sow discord between Sonnet and Mr. Yates.""What photos?""One was a photo of Mr. Yates that was taken when he was in a hotel on a business trip in the United States. He asked me to hint at Sonnet that I was in the United States with Mr. Yates. There was also a photo of the Grand Canyon to make it seem like I went to the Grand Canyon with him."Maxwell held his phone and raised his eyebrows. ‘Did Sonnet receive these photos? She didn't tell me anything!’[Besides sending her photos, what else did he ask you to do?] He sent another text on his phone.The man in the live broadcast quickly asked this question, and Maggie replied, "He asked me to appear in Paragon Education Group so that Sonnet’s friends would see me coming down from the floor of the president's office. I was asked to act as if something happened between me and Mr. Yates."After that, he asked me to find Sonnet and tell her that my lipstick p
On the rooftop of a run-down building in the suburbs, Sonnet looked at Zachary in shock and asked, “Mr. Strombold, where’s Mr. Yates? Didn’t you say he had something very important to discuss with me here?”“He has nothing to discuss with you,” Zachary replied in a deep voice.Suddenly, Sonnet understood everything. “So it’s you! You intentionally let Juliette trick me into getting in the car, and you lied about Johnson needing to see me!”“Yes, it was me.” Zachary chuckled softly.Sonnet looked puzzled. “Why did you do this? What did you bring me here for?”“To put an end to a relationship.”Sonnet was taken aback. “What... relationship?”Zachary looked at her and smiled coldly. “Aren’t you a smart woman? You still don’t know what relationship I’m referring to?”Sonnet did not say anything. She had hardly spoken to Zachary before, so it was unlikely that he had any feelings for her. Besides, the current situation did not seem like that at all. What kind of relationship could i
Sonnet turned around and saw the empty sky and the torn rags fluttering in the wind on the half-built building on the opposite side!She lowered her gaze and realized that she had unconsciously retreated to the edge of the run-down building with no guardrail. She could even see the ground piled with bricks and stones. She felt dizzy and quickly turned her head, grasping a nearby pillar.It was terrifying. If she had accidentally slipped just now, she and Lil Three would have disappeared from this world.Sonnet touched her belly and suddenly felt a huge desire to survive. She still had two children to take care of, a father to support, and so many good friends. She did not want to leave this world just yet!She suppressed her inner fear and looked at Zachary, who was approaching her. “I understand you!”Zachary stopped in his tracks and looked at her slightly suspiciously.Sonnet quickly added, “I can understand why you did what you did, and I can forgive you! And, Johnson and I w
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
