With this thought in mind, Lovey took a few steps toward the entrance of her school.“Lovey, just help me out, alright?” Scout pressed his hands together as he begged her. Lovey had a heavy expression on her face as she said, “I really can’t help you, brother. You must take responsibility for what you’ve done!” After speaking, she rushed into the school. Scout wanted to chase after her. However, the security guard standing at the entrance stopped him. “I’m looking for my sister!” Scout shouted out at the security guard.“Sir, my brother is trying to beat me up. I don’t want to see him. Please make him go away,” Lovey told the security guard. She then turned and walked into the school. Scout wanted to charge in and chase after her. However, the security guard pushed him forcefully, and he fell to the ground. “I think you’d better leave. You’re already a grown man, yet you’re trying to take money from your younger sister that’s still in school. I can’t bear to watch you d
Mariette walked in front of Scout. She bent to take a close look at him. She did not know him. She then raised her chin and asked him in a haughty tone, “Do you know Maxwell Brooks?”“I do! He’s a darn traitor!” Mariette and Wayne exchanged glances. Wayne asked Scout, “How did you get to know Maxwell Brooks? Why do you call him a traitor?” “He almost died. My family saved his life and took good care of him for more than a month. However, he was never grateful for everything we did for him after he recovered! He tried to harm us instead!” Scout exclaimed as he clenched his hands into fists. “Where do you live? Where did your family rescue him?” Mariette immediately asked. “Cattleville in Lore County of Keno City.” Mariette glanced at Wayne once again. After a moment’s hesitation, Wayne asked, “The warehouse that exploded was located in a suburb in Harbor City. It’s far away from Keno City…Besides, I heard that the explosion was huge. The old warehouses have all burnt down
The butler, Mr. Rowden, smiled as he replied to Mariette, “Sir Brooks is in his study. He’s discussing business with Matteo.” Mariette instantly pouted. She sat down on the sofa in the living room unhappily and said, “Matteo comes looking for Dad almost every single day. Why does he seem more like Dad’s child than I?” After she spoke up, Matteo walked out of the study. Mariette huffed out loud and turned so that she would not have to see him. Matteo seemed oblivious to Mariette’s attitude towards him. He looked at her cheerily and called out, “Mariette.” Mariette finally turned and cast a haughty gaze at him. “Why did you come to look for my father so late at night? Is it that urgent of a matter? Can’t you come over tomorrow morning?” Before Matteo could say anything, a low and authoritative voice rang out, “I asked him to come over. What’s the matter? Are you going to tell your father what he can and cannot do as well?” Mariette immediately smiled and walked towards Wi
“A drunkard fell in front of our car while we were driving and muttered something about knowing Maxwell Brooks.” ”“Did that fool know any outsiders while he was alive?” Will asked casually.Mariette shook her head and said, “No, what I meant is the drunkard claimed that Maxwell is still alive.” Will almost choked on his breath. He instantly put down his cup of tea and looked at Mariette. “What do you mean by that? Maxwell Brooks isn’t dead?” Mariette laughed and said, “Initially, I was shocked as well. I immediately asked the drunkard about it. After that, we found out that we were mistaken. There’s someone that goes by the same name out there in the world.” “What happened?” Will asked with a stern expression on his face. Mariette told him all about how she had run into Scout and what they had talked about. She then laughed and said, “Don’t you think it’s an incredible coincidence? I was beyond shocked! After that, I thought about it again. How can the person that he’s d
Naturally, Sophia did not believe Jaybie. However, Sonnet remained on the fence about what Jaybie had just said. Jaybie was an extremely observant child. He rarely got anything wrong. However, as Sophia had mentioned, they were not important people. Why would someone follow them around? She could not figure it out after thinking about it for some time. She then forgot all about it. After a couple of days, Sonnet went to the hospital for a maternity check-up. On the way back home, Lindy looked in the rearview mirror and said, “That white car has been following us for some time. Are they staying in Paradise Residential Area as well? Did they visit Westfield Hospital and leave the hospital at the same time?” Lindy was casually talking to Sonnet. However, Sonnet’s heart lurched. She recalled what Jaybie had told them previously. She turned around and glanced at the white car behind them.“Try speeding up,” she told Lindy. Lindy nodded and pressed down on the accelerator. As
Lindy immediately got out of the car. She bowed before the man and apologized, “I’m extremely sorry. I turned into this road way too quickly and almost crashed into your car. I’m really sorry!” “Do you think that an apology makes up for what you did? We almost died in that car accident! We were shocked to death!” The man, who seemed to be in his thirties, shouted, clutching his chest. He looked very angry. Lindy knew that she was at fault. She did not retort against him. “Yes, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I’ll compensate all your losses. Would you like to check your car’s condition first?” As soon as the man heard what he said, he turned and looked at the woman that had stepped out of the car. She was most likely the man’s wife. The woman did not even bother to check on their car. She said, “Our car has broken down and can no longer move. You should pay us an appropriate amount of compensation.” Lindy stared at their car. Their car was parked in the middle of the road.
The woman nodded and walked over to open the car door.Lindy wanted to stop her, but the man blocked her way. The woman took action very quickly. As soon as Sonnet put down her phone, she opened the door and snatched Sonnet’s phone at lightning speed. Sonnet immediately chased after her, “What are you doing? Give me back my phone!” The woman pushed Sonnet with all her might and shouted fiercely, “Are you planning to film me again? Dream on!”Sonnet fell on the ground.Lindy shouted and kicked the man in his shins. She then ran over to help Sonnet up.Sonnet sat on the ground and struggled to get up. Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation between her legs. She lowered her head and saw a damp patch on her pants.“Ah! What’s going on, Sonnet?!” Lindy screamed. Sonnet was momentarily dazed. Suddenly, she understood what was going on. She caressed her belly and said, “My…My water just broke…”“I’ll call an ambulance,” Lindy immediately called the emergency line.The woman and
“Wah!” The loud and powerful cries of a baby rang out in the delivery room.Sonnet finally let go of all the tension in her body and relaxed. She was instantly filled with drowsiness. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke, she was met with the sight of pink-colored curtains and wallpapers with cartoons. This was the ward for the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of Westfield Hospital. A large hand instantly enveloped her hand. The hand was warm and familiar. Sonnet instantly turned emotionally. “Maxwell?” She felt awkward after speaking. Maxwell was not sitting next to her. It was Johnson. She withdrew her hand from Johnson instinctively. She felt agitated at herself. Why had she assumed that he was Maxwell just now? It was because she wished he was next to her so badly while she was giving birth just now. Maxwell rubbed his hands. He could understand why Sonnet did not allow Johnson to hold her hand.He smiled warmly at Sonnet. “Are you fully awake n
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
