Maxwell nodded. "That's right. The couple went on a vacation at this time. They lived on that street and encountered a mudslide. Now that the two of them have lost contact, we have to wait for the local rescue team before we know if they're alive or dead.""Ah… what a coincidence.""We haven't found the ox guarding the city either," Maxwell added.It seemed that not only did he get someone to investigate Cobalt, but he also investigated Scout."What's with the bull guarding the city? Did he lose money from gambling and hide again?""I'm going to look for Lovey now. Honey, why don't you come with me?" Maxwell asked.Because Lovey had other thoughts about Maxwell before, Maxwell was very self-aware. If he wanted to look for Lovey, he had to bring Sonnet so that Sonnet would not misunderstand.Sonnet smiled. "It's alright. I'll be at ease if you look for her.""Honey, you should come with me. She's about to take her exams. If there's a woman, I'll feel more at ease."Only then di
"He died in the grass beside the national highway. The cleaning staff found his body in the early morning. Preliminary confirmation is that he fell and hit his head because he was drunk.""What's he doing on the national highway at night?""There's a black casino over there. They're probably gambling."Sonnet frowned. "Why is it so coincidental? We were looking for Cobalt and his wife, and lost contact. We were looking for Scout to defend the city, and he died!"Maxwell's expression darkened slightly. "If these two things are man-made, it will expose this mole. This mole must have a very important identity. He's very afraid of being found out, so he wants to silence him at all costs.""He can be considered ruthless." Sonnet sighed.After saying that, she thought of Lovey. "Should we tell Lovey about Scout’s death?"Maxwell shook her head. "She's taking the college entrance examination tomorrow. It's better not to tell her. Let's wait until the college entrance examination is ove
"I'm not completely sure. I just feel that this person's death is too strange, so I want to do a reexamination.""Then just follow the normal procedures," Suki Walker immediately said. "Let the family members apply.""It's like this. The victim's sister is taking her college entrance examination tomorrow, so my friend didn't dare to tell her about this," Hayden said in a flattering tone. "Dr. Walker, didn't I look for you to open a back door? For you, it's very simple to take some time to take a look at the corpse. You just need to help us take a look and confirm that the victim died in an accident. I won't let you work for nothing. If you have any requests, just ask."He was really sacrificing himself for his brother. He was practically begging without any bottom line!Suki Walker stopped talking. After a while, he replied, "On account of the sister of the deceased who is about to take the college entrance examination, I'll help you this time. Is it okay to ask for anything?""Of
Hayden looked down and saw the corpse lying in the freezer. It was pale and had rigor mortis!He immediately felt his stomach churn and almost vomited.At the thought that he could not let Suki Walker look down on him, Hayden suppressed his nausea and carried the corpse out of the freezer.He lamented that he had especially changed into a new shirt to see Suki Walker today. He was going to throw it away immediately after he went out!The corpse was cold and stiff. Hayden tried his best to ignore the discomfort in his heart and placed the corpse on the long table beside him.There was a long table in the morgue that was specially used to examine corpses. It was for the convenience of forensics.After waiting for Hayden to put down the corpse, Suki Walker immediately put on her white gloves and opened her toolbox.This was the first time Hayden had seen Suki Walker examine a corpse. Her movements were swift and gentle, and her furrowed brows showed her concentration.She looked c
Maxwell was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses."Hay, are you crazy? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" He scolded softly.He had just finished being intimate with his dear wife and was about to fall asleep when this person called. It was really disturbing.Hayden chuckled. "I went to pick up the body in the middle of the night because of you. I was afraid that you would be anxious, so I called you to report the situation. You scold me instead!"Hmph! If he couldn't sleep well at night, Maxwell shouldn’t be able to sleep well either!Maxwell rubbed his face and got up from the bed to go to the bathroom.He had indeed asked Hayden for help. He had no choice but to be harassed by Hayden."You just said that the cause of death of the ox guarding the city has been investigated. What was the cause of death?" he asked."The cause of Scout’s death was indeed intracranial hemorrhage, but the forensic doctor I found did a careful autopsy and confirme
"Ugh…" Howard covered his mouth and ran away.After a while, Howard came back from the washroom weakly. "Hay, we're brothers, right?""Of course, it's because we're brothers that I can't help but share my happiness with you!" Hayden smiled.Howard really wanted to beat him up. "What happiness do you have? The happiness of hugging a corpse?""That's not it. It's Maxwell. Maxwell praised me! Do you know what he told me?""What did he say?""He told me that you've worked hard, Hay!" Hayden raised his voice and held his head high. "He actually comforted me and said that I've worked hard! This is an affirmation of my hard work! When have you ever heard Maxwell praise any of us? I'm the first to receive this honor!"Howard pursed his lips. "That's it? You called me out in the middle of the night just for this?"He suddenly realized that Logan Scott was smart. After Hayden called him, he called Logan. Logan only said, "He's crazy. Ignore him." Then he hung up.Sure enough, Hayden was
"Your brother… passed away." It was very difficult for Maxwell to say this but he still had to.Lovey was stunned as if she did not understand what Maxwell said. She asked in a daze, "Brother Maxwell, what did you just say?""I said, your brother died. Unexpectedly.""He passed away…" She did not seem to understand the meaning of this word. "How could that be… My brother said that he was lucky that day. How could he have passed away…"She suddenly grabbed Maxwell's arm. "Brother Maxwell, you are lying to me, right? You're joking with me, right? How could my brother have passed away?"Sonnet quickly hugged her. "Lovey, don't be too agitated. Come, let's sit down. Let Brother Maxwell tell you about your brother."Lovey allowed her to sit with her arms around her. Maxwell told her about Scout's death. Of course, he hid the part where they suspected he was killed.Lovey listened quietly, then covered her mouth as she ran to the washroom. Sonnet was worried about her and followed. Sh
"There's training at the headquarters in the afternoon. You can go over. You can go straight to the Human Resources Department to cancel your leave," the principal said to Sonnet.After lunch, Sonnet went straight to the Paragon Education Group's headquarters.Before training, she went to the Human Resources Department to cancel her leave. When she walked out of the Human Resources Department to the meeting room, she bumped into Johnson Yates.Speaking of which, ever since Johnson moved out, she had not seen him. Now that she saw him, she felt as if she had not seen him for a few years.Seeing her, Johnson stopped in his tracks and smiled at her. "Are you done with your maternity leave?""Yes, it's my first day at work today. Um, Vice President Yates, how have you been recently?"As a father, he had not visited his children for a long time. She did not know if he missed them."I'm fine,” Johnson replied.Recently, he had been hugging his wife to sleep every night with his child
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
