The feeling of anxiety followed for three to four days, but as nothing happened, Cecelia found herself a little relieved.Only as she finally relaxed did Cecelia realize that something was off about William.At that moment, she attempted to share some of her lunch with him.“Pretty boy, the braised pork today is really delicious. Try some.”With the pork sandwiched between her chopsticks, Cecelia raised it to William's mouth habitually.Although both she and William Sandler ate takeaway the
If you want a man to be in a good mood, all you have to do is satisfy him… Grace Turner’s words played repeatedly in Cecelia’s head. However, no matter how hard she thought about it, Cecelia still could not recall what exactly she had done to warrant such behavior from William. She stole a glance at the man reading a magazine on the sofa. His expression somehow seemed albeit more disgruntled than it was at the office. Could his moodiness really be because he was dissatisfied? Ceceli
Grace said he was dissatisfied, and he left the house right after he took a suspicious phone call… Could he have gone to see an ex-lover? “No way!” The mere idea of William potentially meeting up with a previous lover brought Cecelia to a half-blown mental breakdown. She ran into the bedroom and changed in record speed, leaving the house swiftly. There was no way in hell she was just going to let him meet up with an old flame! If nothing else, she would not tolerate him cheating on her
William appeared just in time to catch Cecelia as she fell. The stranger’s expression shifted abruptly when he saw William, desperately trying to conceal the fear in his eyes but to no avail. “Brother…” William glared coldly at this ‘brother’. “Cyrus Sandler. Do not challenge my limits!” Cyrus was his stepbrother, the very man who saved Cecelia before. They had a complicated relationship, Cyrus and William, and the latter would do anything if it meant Cecelia would be safe from being
Though Zachary’s sentence was left unfinished, William had already gotten the gist of it. Yet… In his arms, Cecelia’s looked more nauseated by the minute, her skin paled with sickliness and discomfort. William contemplated as he watched her with a complicated look in his eyes. Unbeknownst to the thoughts in William’s head, Zachary teased, “Don’t tell me nothing’d gone between both of you yet, William. And here I thought that this tree of yours finally popped its cherries.” The fact that Wi
’It’s so painful, my whole body is in pain as if I’ve been severely injured.’ The pain was so unbearable that Cecelia’s teeth chattered and she inhaled some cold air.She rubbed her aching neck and opened her eyes.“Sigh, why do I feel so tired even in my sleep?”Cecelia mumbled as she got up from bed, not realizing something was amiss until she started looking for her clothes but could not find them anywhere. That was when she realized...‘The room is unfamiliar, the bed is unfamiliar, ever
Cecelia did not understand why was she feeling so angry. The thought of William treating another woman the way he treated her made her heart suffered as if a large boulder was stuck inside.As a regular woman, the most she could afford was to buy him some clothes. He would then do all the house chores and wash her feet for her. The woman who owns the luxury car would be able to give him more. So he would even kneel at that woman?!Imaginations of that scene appeared in Cecelia’s mind and she s
Cecelia was running very fast, and she ended up bumping into another girl who’s speed rivaled hers.“I’m sorry. It was unintentional. Are you alright?” Cecelia politely apologized.The other girl was not as good-tempered as Cecelia. Not only did she not apologize, but she also ignored Cecelia’s apology.She shot a death glare at Cecelia and chided, “You didn’t bring your eyes along when you came out this morning? Can’t you even walk properly? What a brainless lunatic!”“...”‘What’s going o
This question, full of doubts and cold voice, attracted everyone's attention.Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw William, who was a little sleepy.Cecelia couldn't believe her eyes. She grabbed Natalie, who was standing next to her, and said, "Na, Natalie, did I have an illusion? Is that really your brother?"There were many times when Cecelia had an illusion.Sometimes he was in the company, sometimes he was in the middle of the night, and sometimes he could even see him on the road.Therefore, when Cecelia suddenly saw William, Cecelia thought it was his illusion again, so Cecelia couldn't believe his eyes.She had experienced so many hallucinations before, and she was afraid that it would be the same this time.No one could understand what kind of blow it would be to Cecelia every time he returned to reality from an illusion.Those who had never experienced such a painful feeling before couldn't feel it at all.Natalie also couldn't believe that she actua
Zachary was about to leave after he finished speaking when Huangfu Zi stopped him. He heard the sound of gunshots and a rough male voice outside."All of you, step back, or I'll kill this woman immediately..."They immediately looked at each other. The situation seemed to be different from what they thought.They didn't dare to delay and quickly walked out. When they got out of the villa, they saw that Chelsey's temple was pressed with a gun.As soon as Chelsey saw them, she called for help. "Natalie, Zachary, save me...""What exactly is going on?" Cecelia the one closest to them.The man replied, "The person who hijacked Miss Lu is called Scar. It was Miss Turner who sent him here five years ago to watch over Miss Lu. Just now, he was going into the room, so we didn't think much about it. But soon after, we heard gunshots. When we rushed in, he had pointed a gun at Miss Lu. We didn't know what happened inside."Hearing the man's explanation, Cecelia's eyes darkened slightly. S
Although it was just a slight movement of their fingers, it was already a great piece of good news for them.Cecelia, who was looking at Grace, noticed her at once. He was as excited as a child. "She moved. She moved. Grace's finger moved. Did you see that? Her finger moved just now."Natalie was also shocked. "Well, I saw it. Grace's fingers really moved just now.""Right!" Cecelia was even more excited. "This means that I didn't see wrongly just now. Tang is really still alive. Zi, you must save her. I beg you, you must save Grace back.""Yes, I will."Huangfu Zi didn't expect that Grace would really have a reaction when she pretended to comfort Cecelia just now.She had lost her breath and heartbeat just now, but she didn't expect that there would be a reaction after two needles.After recovering from the shock, Huangfu Zi carefully inserted needles on Grace. After a few more needles, Grace spurted out a lot of water from her mouth and nose. Then she coughed violently, but sh
As soon as he heard that Grace had been found, Cecelia didn't care about anything else and asked in a hurry, "Where is it? How is it going?"Cecelia actually wanted to ask, was he still alive?However, she could not say it out loud. What she was afraid of was an answer that she could not accept.The man looked serious. "I found him in the deepest part of the lake. He has already...""Don't say that!" Cecelia interrupted him harshly. "Grace will be fine. She will definitely not answer."She walked out, hypnotized, and her footsteps were a little weak.Natalie quickly stepped forward to help him up. "Sister-in-law, slow down."Seeing Cecelia stumbling out, Chelsey didn't feel relieved.Although he didn't have to worry about them going upstairs to find William, he could find the wound on Grace's head if he found Grace...Zachary and Huangfu Zi were both doctors, especially Huangfu Zi, who had the experience of a medical examiner. At that time, they could easily find out what Grac
When Huangfu Zi asked this question, there was a smile on her face and her tone was gentle, as if she was chatting casually with Zachary.But only she knew how nervous she was.Zachary's feelings for Chelsey were obvious to everyone. For the sake of Chelsey, he almost did everything he should do.From the very beginning, the three of them were surrounded by Zachary, who was chasing after Chelsey.Even though the two of them had fallen out, Huangfu Zi still felt that he had little chance of winning when he asked this question in front of everyone.After all, she had lost from the beginning.Not only was Huangfu Zi nervous, but so was Chelsey.It was obvious that the current situation was unfavorable to her.What Zachary had just done was already very clear. He was going to break up with her completely. If he said that he would choose Huangfu Zi in public at this moment, everything she had just said would be broken.Just as they were getting more and more uneasy, Zachary fixed h
"After Huangfu Zi comes in, you can tell her everything you know about me, especially your son's background."Cecelia and Natalie didn't know what Zachary meant, but Chelsey knew what he meant.His disapproval, his indifference, and decisiveness shocked Chelsey.It wasn't until this moment that she realized that Zachary was planning to ruin everything she had.Clenching her fists, Chelsey suddenly sat up from the bed. She rolled her eyes and began to cry. "Zachary, it's not that I don't agree to be with you, but that I think I don't deserve you. I made such an unforgivable mistake five years ago.Although it's been five years, I still can't forgive myself.As long as I thought that I had killed Cecelia many times, I wouldn't regret it.Especially in the end, Cecelia pleaded for me regardless of the past, I felt that I was not a human being at all."I should have disappeared from this world five years ago. It was Cecelia who gave me a chance to live in this world."In the past
Besides, if he really had no feelings for her, he would not have informed her before Grace came.Just now, he said that he wanted to expose her because she hurt Grace.Chelsey had always known that Zachary didn't like her to hurt others. Moreover, she was hurt because of Grace, who grew up with him, so he was angry.Just as Chelsey was thinking about it, Zachary's voice entered her ears. "Give me your things."Cecelia and Natalie handed over the things they had found to him. After taking the
Zachary's indifference made Chelsey's heart tremble. "Zachary, listen to me. It's not me. I really didn't do anything to Grace. I can swear that Grace's disappearance really has nothing to do with me. I don't know what happened...""You don't know what's going on?" Zachary smiled coldly. "Chelsey, in your eyes, am I a fool? A fool who will believe whatever you say?""No..." Chelsey shook her head quickly. "I think you are the person I trust and rely on the most. I have never thought about it l
Zachary chuckled at Chelsey's question. "For you, am I just a lackey who can be at your disposal? That's why you used the word 'betray' on me?""... What's the point of saying this now?" Zachary's tone was slightly sour. Chelsey knew that what she said just now was a little hurtful, but the most important thing now was that she was about to be exposed.As long as he said a word, it was as if just now, as long as he opened and closed his mouth, she might be completely doomed.In the past five years, Chelsey had never been as nervous as she was at this moment.Zachary was indispensable to her.As the saying goes, success is equal to failure. She was really afraid that Zachary would never help her in the future, just like what he said on the phone.With that thought in mind, Chelsey opened her mouth again and said in a softer tone, "Zachary, you know, after so many years, we have worked hard together for so many years. Now everything is going to be completed. My long-cherished wish
