“Give me the knife.” Eliza did not want to hide anymore. “I’m doing what I have to do. Let me take Sarah’s life.”“Eliza, you can’t kill her. You’ll go to jail. Once you’re in prison, the rest of your life will be ruined,” Freya dissuaded her anxiously. “Sarah is hateful. I desperately want her to die as well. However, the law will punish her. She’s not worth you using the rest of your life to get revenge on her.”“I want her to be punished by the law too, but there’s no evidence. If possible, I don’t want to go this far either.” Eliza’s eyes were filled with determination. No one understood her pain. “We can slowly collect evidence,” Freya shouted at Eliza. “You’re my best friend. I can’t just stand by and watch as you ruin your life for such a scumbag. C’mon, let’s leave quickly.”“Leave?” Eliza laughed. Where could she go?She had nowhere to go. As long as Rodney kept investigating, he would easily find her.Rather than have that happen, it would be better if she killed Sar
Before Freya finished speaking, sounds of gunshots came from upstairs.Freya was startled, and her hand jolted. The phone fell to the ground.Before she could pick it up, a group of people marched in. The person leading them was Rodney. He was wearing navy blue pajamas. She remembered that she had bought that set of pajamas for him when she was shopping some time ago. Rodney was wearing the pajamas that Freya had bought to save another woman. The lamps on the walls faintly illuminated the gloomy scene.Rodney instantly saw Freya, who was standing there. Her clear, big eyes were staring straight at him. At that moment, it was as if Rodney’s head had exploded. When his gaze traveled to Sarah, who was in a terrible state beside Freya’s feet, his eyes widened in anger and viciousness.“Sarah…” Rodney rushed forward and carried Sarah gently. He was afraid of hurting her as her body was covered in wounds.Freya thought Sarah was dirty and smelly. She had the urge to wash her han
Rodney turned around and gave his orders. “Call the police. Capture this woman and send her to the police station.”After giving out instructions, he carried Sarah and hurriedly headed out.He turned back after walking a few steps. He looked at Freya coldly. “You brought everything upon yourself. You have to bear the responsibilities since you broke the law. You’d better pray that Sarah doesn’t die. If not, I’ll make you compensate with your life.”He left afterward.Freya got up groggily. Before she could properly stand on her feet, both of her arms were restrained. She was taken outside. With each step, her abdomen hurt from getting kicked by Rodney. Even her ribs were hurting. The pain made her face pale, and she was swaying as she walked. Those people did not care about Freya’s condition. Seeing that she could not walk properly, they simply dragged her toward the car.When she was about to get dragged into the car, a black off-road SUV sped over. Then, Ryan’s sturdy figure
After informing Shaun, Ryan’s hand moved toward Freya’s stomach. If it were before, Freya would definitely push him away. However, she was in too much pain to bother. Therefore, she let his fingers press down on her stomach. “What happened?” Ryan’s brows were knitted together in such a tight frown. “Did someone kick you?”“...”Freya did not say a word. She just lowered her head. Her eyelashes cast shadows below her eyelids. Not long after, there were tears on her eyelashes.“Who did it?” Ryan asked coldly. “Rodney?”Freya bit her lip. It seemed like all of her pain and grievances were brought upon by Rodney. She felt like crying, but she did not let herself break down. However, when she spoke, her throat was hoarse. “Sarah was badly hurt. He kicked me twice. Do you think I’m an evil person?”“You wouldn’t have done this kind of thing,” Ryan said without hesitation. “During this period, we’ve been staying in the official residence and saw each other every morning and night. Wh
Then, Ryan accompanied Freya to undergo body check-ups. When the results of her chest X-ray were out, the doctor confirmed that she had a broken rib. Freya did not expect Rodney’s kick to be so ruthless.He kicked her until she broke a rib on the spot. No wonder she was in so much pain. She even had difficulty breathing. “Doctor, with my condition… How long do I need to recover?” Freya could not conceal the worry in her eyes. “I still have to raise a kid…” She had to breastfeed too. “About one month. With your condition, you can’t even carry your child, not to mention take care of the child. You have to be careful too. Don’t ever catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, you’ll get a chest infection easily.” After the doctor reminded her, he glanced at Ryan. “You’re her husband, right? Take care of the child more often. You can only wean the baby as well.”“...”Ryan’s face heated up. A hint of awkwardness flashed across his face. Freya quickly explained, “He’s not my husband.
Freya felt pretty hungry upon hearing Ryan mentioning breakfast. However, she was in too much pain and did not have much of an appetite. “The doctor told me to eat soft foods…”“Okay. I understand.” Ryan nodded and went out with Shaun. As he left, he closed the door as well. Catherine looked at Freya with a straight face. “Freya, do you know the person who kidnapped Sarah?”“As expected, you know me best.” Freya laughed bitterly. She said with complicated feelings, “The person who kidnapped Sarah was Eliza.”“...” Catherine’s pretty face carried a shocked expression. “It’s shocking, right? I had the same reaction as you when I found out.” Eliza’s cold gaze from before flashed across Freya’s mind. She could not help but shiver. “It was Chester who found out about it first. He contacted me. When we rushed over, Eliza was about to kill Sarah. However, I stopped her. I was afraid things would be difficult to deal with if she really killed Sarah. Besides, when I checked on Sarah, Eli
“Sister? Aren’t you a few months older than him?” Catherine teased playfully. “Oh well. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the one you slept with back then. His character is much better than Rodney.” Freya was stunned. She would not argue with Ryan, nor would they turn against each other. Moreover, Ryan was quite attentive and warm. If it had been him...Hold on. What on earth was she thinking?Ryan was Rodney’s cousin. She should not even think about such a thing at all.“Don’t talk nonsense.” Freya quickly glared at Catherine. “He’s my godbrother and Rodney’s cousin. Your thoughts are ludicrous.”She spoke so hastily that she became agitated. Her chest hurt, and she was a little short of breath.“Fine, fine. I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?” Catherine promptly comforted Freya. “Since I’ll be accompanying you in the hospital these few days, I asked Shaun to find out Sarah’s condition.”She went out to search for Shaun and spotted him talking on the phone at the staircase.On
Catherine replaced Ryan by sitting in his seat. She learned to blow on the soup as he did. However, when the food entered Freya’s mouth, Freya grumbled softly, “Cathy, it’s hot. Are you trying to burn my tongue?”Catherine was speechless. “But it wasn’t hot when Ryan fed you just now, huh?”“He cooled it down first.”“...”Fine. Did that mean Catherine was not attentive as a man?…Outside the emergency room.Rodney wrapped his hands around his head and waited outside for two hours before the doctor finally came out.He promptly dashed toward the doctor. “Doctor, how’s the patient?”“She’s in a bad condition. Her face… is disfigured. Her muscles and tendons are broken due to excessive blood loss, the delay in sending her here, and her infected wounds. Although we’ve fixed her tendons through the surgery, her nerves have certainly been injured. It’s uncertain whether she can walk in the future. As for her hands… After a few months of treatment, it’ll be good enough if she can e
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
