Before Mandy could scream, she was choked unconscious by the person behind her. Meanwhile, the murder mystery game downstairs was proceeding in full swing. Lana faced an unusual challenge today. She unexpectedly played the role of a duke. Hence, she had no choice but to dress in extremely unfitting clothes and endure the intense sun exposure. Suddenly, she found herself envying Liam a lot. If only she had known, she would have played a dead character. Then she wouldn't have to move, and she could even stay in the house enjoying watermelon. However, as the game progressed, the expected appearance of Mandy did not happen, and many people waiting began to feel anxious. Romelius didn't play, but out of curiosity about how others were playing, he followed along with everyone throughout. When someone pointed out that Mandy hadn't appeared and there was no progress in the plot, he volunteered to go upstairs to call Mandy. Everyone assumed that Mandy was quite strict with herse
Lana suddenly became anxious. She seemed to know Liam's intention. "Liam, it's none of your business. Don't get involved." However, Liam appeared deaf to her words and continued walking toward Carol. In the face of Liam getting closer, Carol unexpectedly showed slight nervousness. As Liam continued to approach, Carol quickly shifted her body and swiftly tidied her messy hair.She nervously warned him, "Liam, what do you want to do? This is none of your business. I suggest you leave quickly." After all, Liam was the man Carol truly loved but couldn't have. She might disregard the life and death of others, but she still cared about Liam's fate. With his hands held high, Liam's face showed an unprecedented calmness. "If someone has to die with you, then let it be me. Let go of Mrs. Quinn immediately." No one expected that Liam would offer himself in exchange for Mandy's safety. His unexpected decision heightened the already tense atmosphere. All eyes were fixed on Carol.
"Don't do it, Lana!" "Please, for heaven's sake!" In the living room, several people screamed repeatedly. Meanwhile, Liam, disregarding everything, rushed over and kicked at Carol's hand holding the remote control. Carol's wrist ached from the kick, and with her recent health issues, her hand loosened. The remote control instantly fell to the ground. Liam responded quickly. He leaped forward and seized Carol, who was trying to retrieve the remote control. Mandy, Romelius, and Nadia swiftly ran over. Romelius was the first to pick up the remote control, and he headed straight toward the kitchen. He promptly grabbed a knife and broke the remote control with a few quick strokes. It was only then that everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before everyone could feel relieved, there came a panicked scream from Lana in the living room. "Carol, let go. Please let go of him!" Carol suddenly wielded a fruit knife and ruthlessly stabbed it into Liam's neck. "Let g
Nicholas, Lana, and Marcel personally conducted Liam's surgery. It started at 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm, and the operating room door still remained closed. As time passed, the waiting crowd at the door became more and more anxious. Violet leaned on Mandy, crying until her voice became hoarse. She exclaimed sadly, "My poor child, why does fate always seem to be against him? He was so young when his parents passed away in an accident. "I struggled to raise him, and then he lost his sight due to poisoning. Finally, he encountered Lana, who healed his eyes and brought warmth to his life. But now, this is happening again." Mandy felt sorry too after hearing that, especially since Violet had watched Liam grow up. Despite being a bit reserved, Liam was actually quite remarkable. She could only comfort Violet, "Grandma, don't say that. Lee will be fine. Lana's mentor is very capable. You can rest assured." However, Violet still felt restless as Liam hadn't come out of the operating
"Liam!" Lana desperately held onto Liam, not letting go as if fearing that he would disappear the moment she released him."I'm here!" Liam hugged her, hoping to lessen her worry.After what seemed like an eternity, prompted by Darla's reminder, Lana finally released Liam from her embrace."Lana, Liam has just undergone surgery and hasn't fully recovered. Let's let him rest for a while," Darla suggested.Lana wiped her tears. She couldn't help but personally examine Liam, her concern evident."That's strange!" Lana muttered to herself. "He was already ..."Earlier, there were no signs of life whatsoever. Moreover, Nicholas, Marcel and Lana concluded that Liam had indeed died. Yet, an hour later, he came back unharmed. It couldn't be considered a medical miracle. It seemed more like a miracle of divine intervention."Was I dead just now?" Liam had overheard the doctors and nurses discussing his situation during the examination.He found it hard to believe that someone who had
Ruth looked satisfied after seeing Wade's expression. "You see, I told you earlier. This woman is not simple, but you never believed me. "Even if the person she killed yesterday was the most wicked person on Earth, taking a life is still taking a life. How can she laugh so carefreely and go on a date with someone afterward?"Wade, after hearing this, felt a deep sense of regret. Emilia's methods were so ruthless. If she had been even more ruthless and poisoned their food, what would they have done? The entire Watson family would have been hers!Wade sighed. "I see now why you insisted on not eating what she cooked."This morning, Emilia fried eggs for both of them. But Ruth denied her offer."People's hearts are unpredictable. I only trust my instincts. I don't like Emilia, and I don't want her to be my family. My family wouldn't be so heartless."Wade seemed to understand Ruth's reasons for rejecting Emilia all these years."Or maybe you are just good at judging people."
"Should we let Alex know about this?" Wade's main concern was whether Alex might do something drastic against Emilia in a fit of anger after hearing about what happened.Before Ruth could respond, Alex's voice suddenly came from nearby. "Mom, Dad, even if you don't tell me, I have eyes, and I can see."Wade and Ruth were both somewhat surprised. They didn't realize when Alex had arrived."Alex, when did you get here?" Wade asked.Alex smiled, still looking carefree. "Did you forget? I'm out here for a walk with you guys!"Wade and Ruth exchanged a smile, as if there was indeed such an occurrence. They had all come out together after breakfast. However, Alex felt like a third wheel and decided to wander off to another place.Later, Alex returned after feeling too bored, just in time to overhear Wade and Ruth discussing Emilia."Mom, you mentioned that you have a plan. Can you share it with me?" Alex was evidently not willing to be idle anymore. He probably also disapproved of
Seeing Howard's indifferent and imposing demeanor, Emilia suddenly smiled and said, "I came today to tell you some good news.""Oh," Howard responded indifferently but didn't ask for details.Undeterred, Emilia asked, "Why don't you ask what good news it is?""Regardless of what happens with you, it's never good news for me."Emilia was angry after being blatantly looked down upon by Howard. Nevertheless, she was going to achieve her goals no matter what, even if it meant being ruthless."But this time, it might not be a bad thing for you and your family!"Howard leisurely finished the tart in his hand, then clapped his hands and stood up. "Get to the point. I don't like beating around the bush."So, Emilia straightforwardly said, "I want to marry you!"Howard was speechless.Has she gone crazy?The last time he visited the Watson family, she was so afraid of getting involved with him that she chased after him to clarify the situation, stating that a relationship between th
