“If bad guys can just waltz into a five-star hotel and kidnap me, this hotel would go viral and be ruined.” Danielle was speechless. “But you still shouldn't be so carefree! Even if you're not worried about getting kidnapped yourself, I'm worried about losing you!” Hazel chuckled. “Oh? A smooth ta
Hazel patted her on her shoulder. “That's more like it!” She pulled back her arms. After all, she was not tall enough, so having her arm around Danielle's shoulders was actually quite tiring. Danielle added, “But…” Hazel stared at her. “So, your acceptance comes with a condition?” “It's nothing
Danielle frowned. “That man is the scum of the earth!” “I know right? I was absolutely pissed over this. That's why I fought with my dad. My dad said that I was at fault, that I didn't hold the reins on him tightly enough! But I think I did nothing wrong here, Dan!” Danielle nodded as she grabbed
She surveyed her surroundings. ‘Where am I? Where's Karl?’ After pacing around for a long while, the hotel receptionist recognized her and walked over. “Good day, Mrs. Burt, is there anything I can help you with?” Danielle grabbed her by her shoulders and asked, “Hey, cutie, I can't find my way b
He started his car and zoomed over to the hotel. When the hotel receptionist saw him, she politely greeted, “Good evening, Mr. Burt.” “Help me check which room Ms. Hazel is staying in.” “Mr. Burt, as per our hotel’s policy, we are unable to disclose a guest’s personal information. May I ask-” “M
When Luna heard that, she jolted forward. She asked anxiously, “You’re not messing with me, right, Mr. Burt?” “I told you, I just want to find my wife. I’ll give you three seconds to consider. 3… 2…” “She’s with my brother.” Before Karl could finish his countdown, Luna hurriedly screamed out, “I s
However, he had no plans of giving in. “I’m just reminiscing over the past with my beloved younger sister. You’re being way too overprotective, Mr. Burt.” At this point, Karl was already glaring daggers at him through the camera, but Noah did not want to give up. He would not let Karl in. To have
On their way home, Karl kept Danielle in his embrace. However, Danielle seemed to be restless. She kept grabbing him by the face and asking, “Are you really Karl Burt? You’re not lying to me, right?” “I’m not.” “Lying is bad, mmkay?” Karl was speechless. He pointed at Quentin. “Why don’t you try
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
