"I hit it off with him, and we got together soon after. It was a very happy time for us!"Linda tidied the items in the car while speaking, removing traces of her presence.That included the car's recorder.Terry tried desperately to hold on, but his heart had been stabbed. He knew he would not survive.At the time, he was struggling to breathe, knowing that if Linda pulled the knife out, he would immediately die.However, Linda did not do that. Instead, she continued to speak."I got pregnant about half a year after I started seeing him. But your family also came with a marriage proposal. I refused at the time, so I informed my family about the pregnancy. Then... and then..."Linda choked, and her hands stopped moving.She took a few deep breaths before proceeding."The next day, he died! It was a car accident, which I knew was planned by the family. Then our marriage was arranged, and we were married quickly." Linda then kissed Terry on the forehead."Eventually, Luke was b
Marilyn was the most annoyed that night. First, she received word from the Zenith Organization that the porcelain pieces could not be found.Then, several messages arrived, revealing that the items escorted in the auction convoy were not the actual items.The Gerd family had played more than just the Zenith Organization. The Guild of Eternal Life had also been duped.Marilyn found the disappearance of Jade, a key figure in the Zenith Organization in Hacniane, most unacceptable.That failed operation had dealt a severe blow to Marilyn and the Zenith Organization.The most troubled by all of that was Cloud Gerd.The following day, Cloud received a call from the Pine City police.They reported receiving over a thousand alarm calls between last night and that morning, all of which reported thefts.The most bizarre aspect was that the stolen items were not valuable at all. Most were old clothes, shoes, and rusted bicycles abandoned in the neighborhood for years.So, for a day and a
Chad did not respond, but he was very surprised.He believed that those people might not be insane. They must have actually seen a dragon.Chad was a shaman with two immortal dragons.Even though he had no idea what had happened then, Chad was certain that Lord Fifth and Miss Sixth had acted.However, it was broad daylight then, so Chad could not easily identify them."Can I meet those people?" After hearing Chad's words, Liam shook his head. "They're just a few crazy foreigners. There's no need to meet them."When Chad heard that, he did not insist. He was only concerned about where to stay next.There was also a deep pit that needed to be filled, which would most likely take several days.Chad might be homeless for the next month, even after reconstruction.Fortunately, he could stay at Patriot Hall, Mystery Tower, or the House of Stars on Temple Road.There was also the batch of medicinal materials for the resurrection elixirs that Grayson had given him previously.Hopefu
After pulling up the stone pillars, the giant tree slowly ascended into the sky, roots and all, until it vanished over the horizon.The giants smashed the eight stone pillars they had pulled up, scattering them all over the earth.The eight giants then ascended into the sky and vanished, joined by the giant with nine crowns behind his head."From today onward, the connection between heaven and earth is severed, and the divide between humans and gods is eternal..."The grand voice rang out again in the sky, and people on the ground emerged from their hiding places.Some even ran straight to where the stone pillar fragments had fallen, carefully examining the patterns on them.Those people appeared to be on a pilgrimage, sorting through the fragments and selecting them.As more people arrived, some began to remove these fragments, intending to study them.After days and nights, possibly hundreds of thousands of them, fragments of those stone pillars were transported to various pa
Despite Chad's promise, Raine continued to wear a troubled expression after hanging up the phone.After many years, she returned to Bloomington, and as soon as she stepped off the plane, she ran into her best friend from high school, Mandy Pickering.Raine's family had an average income when she was in high school, with her parents working as migrant workers in Bloomington.On the other hand, Mandy came from a wealthy local family and frequently took Raine around to demonstrate her superiority.Mandy, who had just returned from Europe, appeared proud and arrogant when she saw Raine.She even asked Raine to join her for their class reunion in the evening.Raine understood there was no such thing as a class reunion. It was simply Mandy's attempt to assert and extract a sense of superiority from her.Raine was the type who did not know how to say no, so she agreed in a daze.After hanging up the phone, Raine sat in the supreme suite and complained to Cynthia. "Why didn't I refuse
The clothes on that guy appeared to be high-quality knock-offs, no matter how one looked at them!However, Cynthia could not find any flaws in those clothes. Her initial assessment was that they were genuine."Redd, fetch me two sets of clothes!"Chad spoke without hesitation, and the chubby guy, Redd Gael, did as he asked. He immediately delivered two sets of the most recent luxury men's clothing.After Chad tried them on separately, Redd gave his opinion."Armani is too well-known; Giorgio Armani suits you better, it's more distinctive, so let's go with this one.Chad did not mind them; as long as the clothes were not embarrassing, he would be fine with them. "I'll take your word for it!"Throughout the process, the two beautiful women remained silent.In their opinion, both sets of clothes were equally good.They were more surprised by how the guy who worked in the wholesale clothing market could obtain luxury clothing.After Chad changed into his Giorgio Armani outfit, Re
Donny wished he had not gone there because then, he would not have had to witness that scene.Raine approached him with a handsome man, smiling.Donny's heart broke. Raine looked a lot better.She had corrected her buck teeth and looked even more beautiful than Mandy, who was heavily made up."I haven't seen you in a long time. You've regained your handsomeness!" Raine smiled and greeted Donny first, then looked at the others.When Mandy saw her, she immediately perked up and summoned a group of former classmates to greet her."Hello, Raine. It has been a long time. Your boyfriend is very handsome. Please introduce him!" Mandy's intention in getting Donny there was to tease him.In high school, Donny, like Raine, was the source of joy for the entire class.Raine was a silly, buck-toothed girl back then, and Donny was known as a trash picker.Both came from low-income families, with Donny's family even poorer, so he had to work hard to pay for school.During college, Donny wor
"You could count the number of supreme masters in the world on one hand."Everyone was stunned to hear that because it contradicted their perception of Raine.After not seeing each other in several years, she was able to boast like that.Donny also frowned. The Health Bureau had recently rated his small shop Class A for food permits, which had made him happy for quite some time.Michelin Stars and Master Chefs had nothing to do with him.Mandy refused to accept it and smiled. "Since that's the case, let's treat Raine to a taste of this Michelin three-starred restaurant!""Okay! It's nothing difficult. I'll try it. If it's not good, I won't eat it." Raine was sincere and said whatever came to her mind.That irritated Mandy, but the others just laughed.They laughed at Raine for being so naive. Mandy intentionally made things difficult for her, but she was unaware of it.On the other hand, they were laughing at Mandy. She wanted to laugh at Raine's misfortune and feel superior b
