“Pretty boy, wanna get married? I’m proposing to you!”William Sandler turned around to see an unkept girl covered in blood. He frowned slightly. “Are you talking to me?”Plenty of women had tried to get married to him, but this was the first time a woman was employing such a tactic...He discreetly took a look at the girl from head to toe. When he noticed her knees that were bleeding, his gaze sunk and a flash of darkness swept past his black eyes.Cecelia Shayne who seemed nervous immediat
Cecelia turned around and began to run away immediately.“Stop right there!”“... Ah!” Cecelia nearly fell. She steadied herself and turned around to ask, “Is there anything else?”“Cab fee.” The man was a scrooge with his words.“Oh, oh, oh!” Cecelia realized. She quickly dug her purse for some money and passed it to the driver. “Uncle, you don’t have to give me the change. Please send this pretty boy home.”She not only paid for her own fee but for the man’s as well.Since she had paid,
Hawick planned to push all the blame on Cecelia once they met Mr. Mason.Cecelia nearly fainted in anger when she heard Hawick’s words. ”Was it not enough that you slept with a cougar just to climb up the social ladder. Thus, you sold me to that blockhead? Y... you... you’re worse than an animal.”It was Cecelia’s first time scolding someone ever since she was born!Both of them had grown up in an orphanage together. Other than the five years when he was adopted, they studied in the same univ
Cecelia took 30 seconds to snap out of a daze and realize what was happening. She blinked her large, bell-like eyes and said, “Um, I only have one bedroom. As for the sofa in the living room, you can see that it’s very small and narrow.”‘It isn’t an excuse, it’s not!’Cecelia forced herself to stay composed under William’s sharp gaze.William looked her in the eye and asked, “How big is the bed?”Cecelia was unaware of his intentions for asking such a question. Consequently, she casually re
‘Huff. I finally said it without stuttering!’Cecelia felt that what she said was out of common sense. Hence, she was surprised to see that William’s face had darkened.It was as if William had just taken his face out of the fridge; his expression was as cold as one could imagine. Although he did not look that friendly earlier either, but his previous expression was way brighter than his current one.Cecelia watched as the man approached her step by step.She had no intention of backing down
Often said between lovers, it was the most popular romantic phrase at the time.Nevertheless, to Cecelia, it was a threat. A pure threat!Was it what people meant by ‘it is easy to bring in a spirit but difficult to send it away’?Cecelia wanted to cry as she was pulled by the collar to the bathroom.“10 minutes. Clean yourself up, otherwise, I will come to assist you.”Cecelia wanted to refute, ‘No, never. I’m not going to bathe.’ However, when she saw William’s stern gaze, her words becam
William’s gaze glistened with indiscernible profoundness as he watched Cecelia carry her little frame forward to face whatever was outside.As Cecelia had guessed, it was Mr. Mason and his henchmen. They had come to settle the score with her.Together, they were a bunch of fierce-looking men. Mr. Mason was known to be ruthless and thus, Cecelia was afraid.“Cecelia Shayne, it was the golden opportunity for you to upgrade your life. It goes without saying that my son was interested in you. If
Cecelia was speechless.Seeing that Cecelia was not about to move an inch, William raised his voice, “Now, immediately.”Cecelia could hear the anger in William’s voice and dared not dilly-dally. Hence, she quickly ran into the room. Nevertheless, when she turned around, she saw that William had an expression as black as coal behind her. “Um, I’m a little hungry. Can I cook some food in the kitchen?”William’s expression darkened to Cecelia’s question, and the latter recalled the way William
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
