The panic that flashed across Caitlyn's face did not escape her eyes, along with the former’s fake pretense was too much.This shows that her speculation was likely to be true.Intense rage welled up in her heart, causing the veins on her fist to pop."The man who defiled me!" she repeated through gritted teeth.Caitlyn's face twitched. "I don't know what you are talking about."Sonnet turned around and left. "You just wait to be ruined and go to jail!""Wait!" Caitlyn yelled, but Sonnet ignored her completely.When Sonnet yanked open the door, finally, Caitlyn could not hold back anymore. "I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you the truth, okay?"Sonnet locked the door again and looked back at her. "Speak!"Caitlyn lowered her head. "That's right, I hired the man that night.""Who is that man?" Sonnet asked immediately.Caitlyn shook her head. "I don't know, because my cousin arranged for that person.""Call your cousin, now!""He...he didn't know either, he just asked his street bu
The afternoon next day, Sonnet took Shay to Harrison Estate.The three children had a great time playing in the yard. Sophia watched them with a smile and asked Sonnet, "What about Lune’s kindergarten?""I plan to find another kindergarten nearby for her.""Alright, I'll keep an eye on the neighborhood when I'm shopping for groceries these next two days."Sophia replied, then suddenly raised her head to look outside the courtyard gate.Sonnet looked over the palisade of the fenced yard. She saw two women standing at the gate, and one of them was the principal of Paragon Kindergarten.She hurried over to open the door. "Madam Principal, why are you here?"The principal nodded and bowed. "Lune’s mommy, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the kindergarten. This is the supervisor of the Preschool Department of Paragon Education Group."Sonnet looked at the person beside her, she was a woman in her forties with an amiable face."Hello Lune’s mommy, our kindergarten did not ha
Jaybie and Lune watched their mother take Shay away in the car at the door. Suddenly, Lune stretched sideways and said to Jaybie, "Brother, let's go over to the vine wall to catch dragonflies?"There was a wall in the community, which was covered with various vines. In the early summer evening, many dragonflies flew around there.Jaybie replied with a smile. "Okay, we have to wear mosquito-proof pants and get a net.”The two children entered the house, "fully armed" against mosquitoes, and then walked out of the courtyard with catching nets on their shoulders.Sophia called out at the door. "Remember to come back for dinner!"The two children responded without looking back, and walked forward.They did not go directly to the vine wall, but detoured to the Brooks household first."Uncle Maxwell!" Lune shouted through the courtyard door.The window on the second floor opened, and Maxwell poked his head out from inside."Are you coming with us to the vine wall to catch dragonflie
Sonnet had just sent Shay back to Lux Club when she received a call from Lune. "Mom, this is bad, Jaybie has been taken away!""Taken away by who?""I don't know, a few tall and big baddies!"There was a buzz in Sonnet's head, she collected herself and asked, "Where was he taken away?""By the side of the vine wall. They wanted to catch me too. Fortunately, Uncle Maxwell came and snatched me back, but Uncle Maxwell's arm is injured!"There was too much information, Sonnet was completely stunned for a moment. Then she said, "Where is Grandma York? Get her on the phone."Lune gave the phone to Sophia, and Sonnet asked her, "Aunt York, did you call the police?""Not yet, Lune wanted to call the police, I said call mom first.""How is Maxwell’s injury?""He had a big gash on his arm and he was bleeding a lot. I just wrapped him up with gauze."Sonnet pondered for a while and said, "Aunt York, I have to trouble you to send Maxwell to the hospital first, or you can get the Brooks t
Then she expressed her admiration again. "But, Uncle Maxwell is so brave, he didn't even frown during the stitches!"Maxwell immediately puffed his chest with pride.Sophia pulled Sonnet aside. "Did you call the police?"Sonnet shook her head. "The person who arrested Jaybie called me, I’ll deal with it. Jaybie should not be in any danger.""Who the hell is it?!" Sophia asked anxiously.Sonnet clenched her fist. "A nasty woman. I caught her misdeeds, she flipped out in a hurry and took Jay. As long as I give her the evidence, she won't make things difficult for Jaybie. Don't worry too much, Aunt York. "Maxwell, who was talking to Lune on the other side, frowned.Sonnet accompanied Maxwell out of the hospital, and said to him, "I still have something to do, so I can't send you home.""It's okay, Wifey. Are you going to help Jaybie's mother find Jaybie? How do you find him? Do you know who those bad guys are?"When he asked, Lune immediately echoed. "Mom—Auntie, did you call th
"Click!" Then, the door opened!Jaybie’s face lit up, and immediately ran out.When he reached the exit of the stairwell passage, there was an angry shout from behind. "Where are you going, little b*stard!"Jaybie was so frightened that he entered the door and started racing down the staircase.But after all, he was small and did not have much physical strength. He only ran two floors before being overtaken by a tall man.The man stretched out his big hand and grabbed his collar: "You little prick, you can actually pick the lock, how capable! See if I don’t skin you alive when we get back!"Jaybie was picked up like a little chicken, twisting and struggling in various ways. "Let me go, let me go!""Dream on! I tell you, I won't give you any food this time, and you can stay hungry!"The man carried Jaybie and went upstairs.He had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.Jaybie raised his head with difficulty, and saw a tall figure standing on the steps above.His body
Then he nimbly snatched the swinging stick from the big man’s hand who was rushing over, and hit him. It went, "Cling! Clang! Boom! Bang!"After a while, the man in sunglasses stood at the street corner with Jaybie. In the alley behind them, there were more than a dozen men lying in disarray."Let's go." The man in sunglasses said."Okay!" Jaybie responded crisply.The two walked onto the street where people were coming and going. After the two were submerged within the crowd, Jaybie stopped and looked up at him, "Uncle, can you lend me your mobile phone?"The man in sunglasses took out his mobile phone and handed it to him, and Jaybie immediately dialed Sonnet's number. "Mom!""Jaybie! How are you doing, Jaybie?" Sonnet's nervous voice came from the phone.Jaybie laughed. "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, a good mister rescued me, and I'm out of danger now.""Sending you home." The man in sunglasses said beside him.Jaybie immediately said to Sonnet: "Uncle said he wanted to take
Sonnet and the children reflexively turned their heads and looked out the window together.A black figure flashed outside the window. At the same time, the ringing stopped abruptly.At this time, Jaybie also spoke while holding the phone, "Hey, why did he hang up?"He dialed again. "Oh, it's turned off!"Something flashed across Sonnet's mind, and she ran out quickly.She came out of the courtyard gate and saw a black figure behind the ivy-covered fence.She rushed over to pull the man out but ended up stunned.It turned out to be Maxwell!"Honey, you’re amazing. I hid so well, but you still found me!" Maxwell clapped his hands.Sonnet looked at his black attire, frowned, and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?"He used to wear brightly colored clothes but was suddenly dressed in black. That was really suspicious.Maxwell opened his arms and twirled in front of Sonnet, happily asking, "Do you think I've grown up?"Upon seeing Sonnet’s frown, he pouted. "I knew my wifey 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
