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
Sonnet grew anxious. “What are you going to do?!”“Why don’t both of us jump together from here and enjoy the wind?!” Zachary exclaimed as he grabbed Sonnet’s arm tightly.Sonnet struggled and held onto the reinforced concrete pillar, shouting at Zachary, “Will everything truly be solved if I die with you? I’m telling you, if I die with you, he’ll definitely hate you! Don’t forget that it’s not just me, his flesh and blood are inside me too! A man may not care about his woman, but he definitely cares about his own flesh and blood!“If you died alone, he might still feel sorry and regret it in the future. He might hope you were still alive. But if you kill his child, he’ll be in pain every time he thinks of you and will even hate you! He’ll hate you forever! Even if you die, you won’t leave a good memory in his heart!”Zachary’s body trembled violently. Sonnet’s words certainly pierced his heart.For him, the most severe torture was nothing more than being hated by Johnson, even af
Maxwell’s pupils shrank at the sight of this, and he shouted loudly, “Don’t do anything stupid!”Looking at Maxwell’s anxious expression, Zachary felt as though his heart was cut by a knife.All of Maxwell’s worries and anxieties were given to this woman, and he probably only had disgust and hatred left for himself!In the end, it was too late. In the end, he was still going to cut ties with him!In the midst of intense pain, a huge disappointment grew in Zachary’s heart. He despaired to continue living.Suddenly, he thought, if time could just stop and if everything could freeze before Maxwell had a chance to say those words, he could pretend that Maxwell had never said them and he never actually did cut ties with him!Once this thought took root, it grew like wild weeds and invaded his heart.There was only one way to make time stop.He suddenly grabbed Sonnet with force and walked toward the edge of the run-down building.“Zachary! Stop, stop!” Maxwell tried to rush forward
