Marilyn's appearance was almost identical to Snow's.At that moment, Chad was stunned, softly murmuring, "Marilyn, where have you been all these years? Are you doing well?""Chad, what are you talking about? I've been at home all along!" Chad heard this, and his eyes instantly reddened. He, who rarely showed emotion, unexpectedly shed tears. "It's not your fault, Marilyn. I should have come back sooner!""Chad, let's go out and have some fun! It's been so long since I've been out!""Okay."Marilyn pulled Chad outside. Her playful and coquettish demeanor was just like Snow's. Marilyn's cheerful laughter echoed on Templer Road. The 'siblings' were having a great time.Gradually, the sky began to lighten, tinged with the red hues of dawn. Marilyn stood on Templer Road, looking happily at the eastern horizon, and said, "Chad, it's dawn. I should go.""Okay, take care!""I know, you're so naggy!" Marilyn said, leaning lightly against Chad's shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.Ch
"I'll call the police right now, and tell them you forced yourself on Marilyn… "Chad removed the phone from his ear, his expression full of disdain as he hung up. Since the divorce, Matilda had become increasingly unreasonable, hurling accusations without understanding anything!At this moment, Matilda was on the brink of losing her temper. She thought Chad had hooked up with Marilyn. Divorcing her and getting together with her cousin was Chad's revenge against her!Unable to wait any longer, Matilda decided to confront Chad at Templer Road.Marilyn woke up just as Chad put down Marilyn's phone. She did not look the least bit tired, as if she had just woken up from a nap.Softly, Esther said to Chad, "'She' has been asleep all night, she doesn't remember anything. If you don't believe it, you can ask her."However, when Marilyn saw Chad in the room, she first panicked and pulled the blanket. Upon realizing that her clothes were already on, she relaxed and awkwardly greeted him
"Chad, you animal, how could you lay a hand on Marilyn… " Travis' eyes were red, fists clenched as he lunged toward Chad. "You scum, I'll kill you!" Chad looked innocent. He had only let Marilyn stay for a night, but now everyone misunderstood him.So he dodged Travis's attack, grabbed him by the collar, and tossed him back.Marilyn, only now aware of Matilda and Travis, asked in surprise, "Ms. Sachs, Travis, when did you both arrive?""Marilyn, come here quickly. With us around, this guy won't dare bully you again." Travis rushed toward Marilyn, pulling her behind him protectively, casting a wary glance at Chad.Marilyn asked confusedly, "Who bullied me? Travis, what are you talking about?"Meanwhile, Matilda glared at Chad, shouting uncontrollably, "Chad, you scoundrel, I'm calling the cops right now!"This accusation made Chad feel unjust. He had just saved Matilda earlier. Instead of gratitude, he faced suspicion regarding Marilyn. Where was the justice in this?"I'm clean
"Sean, how did you end up becoming a security officer?" Chad recognized the security officer. He was his former elementary and middle school classmate. And 'Dr. Jennings' was the nickname he gave to Chad."Hehehe, you still remember me!" Sean chuckled as he threw his arm around Chad's shoulder, and the two began chatting as they walked, arms linked."Dr. Jennings, when will the Hall of Herbs be reopening? Do you need me to introduce some clients to you?" Matilda was astonished by the scene before her and quite angered as well. She could not understand why people always called Chad 'Dr. Jennings', and why they thought he had medical skills. So, she suppressed her anger and said, "Sir, he is a murder suspect. He even admitted just now that he killed Danton."Upon hearing Matilda's warning, Sean glanced at her and teasingly asked Chad, "I heard you two got divorced, how come you're still arguing? She's even accusing you of being a murderer?""Perhaps what she said is true!""Imposs
"Travis, you scoundrel! How dare you doubt me!""Why can't I! You've been staying overnight here. How am I supposed to know if anything happened?"Travis was infuriated, grabbing Marilyn's shoulders with hands trembling with anger, questioning her intensely.Marilyn's temper flared up as she stared defiantly at Travis."Fine, since you insist, then so be it! I do like Chad, alright! I'm officially notifying you now, I am breaking up with you!" With that, Marilyn broke free from Travis' grasp and stood beside Chad.Matilda could not believe it. Chad, this good-for-nothing liar, a waste of space, actually snatched away the newly appointed vice president of elegance!What was most pathetic was that Matilda could not remove Marilyn.After all, Marilyn came to power from the Lawson Group, the investor. Without Marilyn, there would be no investment from the Lawson Group."The detective team is here, show your IDs!"As they spoke, a dozen or so people dressed in blue pants and green
In Matilda's eyes, the things Chad did to 'swindle' would have been enough to land him in jail for several years. However, Matilda never imagined that Chad's cousin would turn out to be the chief of the Police Department.At this moment, Liam felt guilty as he explained to Esther, "Mom, don't blame me. When my brother killed someone years ago, I had to apprehend him!"Esther waved her hand, unwilling to listen to Liam's justification."I don't want to hear your explanations. I just want to ask you, how do you plan to deal with Chad?" "I just said, the Pulmano family reported to the Police Department that Danton died of illness, and I issued the death certificate!" Liam said. He then looked at Marilyn with a hint of joy on his face, continuing, "Besides, Chad's sister has been found. I'm so happy, how could I...""Wait a minute!" Matilda thought she had misheard. She incredulously pointed at Marilyn and asked, "You said Marilyn is Chad's sister, how is that possible?" However, M
"Thank you for understanding, Ms. Sachs. I'm leaving." With a polite farewell to Matilda, Travis got out of the car and walked away. As Travis departed, Matilda suddenly realized that Chad's proximity to Marilyn was likely to sabotage their cooperation. Once again, Chad had succeeded. The thought made Matilda so furious she nearly threw up. After getting out of the car, Travis made a phone call and then waited on the street. Soon, a car approached and stopped in front of him. As he got into the car, the elderly man in the passenger seat spoke. "I've checked it out. Marilyn's father, Howard Myers, is in Europe, with a brother named William. She hasn't had any romantic relationships or very close opposite-sex friends in Europe. As for the person you asked me to investigate, Chad, he's quite peculiar."Travis narrowed his eyes at the elderly man and asked fiercely, "What do you mean by peculiar?"The old man remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly. "The informat
Violet proceeded to introduce the two men."Dr. Jennings, this is Toby Enfield from Veritas Pharmaceutical. He's also the father-in-law of Zach Jovy, the mayor of Bloomington!""Mr. Enfield, here is Dr. Jennings, the one who cured Mr. Hart," Violet continued.Before the other could respond, Chad spoke up, "Your days are numbered. What brings you to me?"Toby was taken aback by Chad's directness, but it made him respect Chad even more."Dr. Jennings, you are indeed formidable. I am nearing the end of my days, but I am not ready to depart yet. Hence, I've come to seek your assistance."At this, Chad was puzzled. Just then, Violet handed him an auction catalog.The catalog displayed numerous precious antiques and curios, but what surprised Chad the most was the presence of many extraordinary rare treasures.After closing the catalog, Chad smirked and remarked, "You want me to help you make the Elixir of Life, don't you?"Toby's eyes lit up with excitement. "Dr. Jennings, can you
