“Please don’t—“ Grace exclaimed, but at Cecelia’s puzzled look, she said, “I mean, this is our first meeting, we’re not so familiar after all. He doesn’t have to accommodate me. Once we get to know each other better, it’s going to be fine!” Cecelia felt that Grace had her point, “You’re right. Who knows, once you’re familiar, your relationship could be better than it is with me!” The three of them took their seats and Cecelia slid the plate of fruits toward her, “Gracie, what do you want to
“Boss?” Cecelia was certain she did not hear it wrongly this time. Grace called William ‘Boss’. She turned suspicious eyes between both of them, “You know each other?” Cecelia recalled Grace’s unusual behavior today. Usually, Grace was as brave as a lion. But today, she seemed a little apprehensive about William. Even if they met for the first time, according to Grace’s past personality, it should not turn out this way. Besides, when she first arrived, she had blurted the word ‘Boss’
“Not really, it’s just that—“ Cecelia sighed. “Do you still remember that girl who pestered him at the Imperial Extravagance last time?” “Of course, you mentioned she was his ex-lover. That’s right, I’ve almost forgotten about it. How did the two of you solve it last time?” Because of her curiosity, she almost hurt Cecelia. “We didn’t exactly solve anything. He told me that was not his lover, but his sister.” “He told you already?” Grace realized that the question came out wrong, so she
She was, in fact, quite happy that William brought her to meet Natalie. Since she had met his sister, did that mean there was a place for her in his heart? She also wondered if he had any other family members. Probably not, otherwise, he would have mentioned it before. Natalie did not expect Cecelia to say that. It seemed that her little sister-in-law was quite classy. “I’m the one who should apologize. I was just playing around with you the last two times. I’m Natalie Sandler, Willi
William Sandler was in a good mood recently. Although his stoic face was still plastered on, those who were familiar with him could tell that. Today was the day for the buddies’ gathering. William Sandler, Mycroft Jones, Zachary Quaid, Dylan Hughes! The four of them were referred to as the Four Young Masters of City A. William had a cold personality, Mycroft was a playboy, Zachary was slick and diplomatic, while Dylan was wickedly cunning. The four of them had totally different persona
However, for some unknown reason, it was her favorite soap opera played by her favorite idol, but she just could not focus on it. The plot and everything else was done well, but she just did not have the mood for it. She kept looking at the time. Why was William not back yet? William did not tell her that he was gathering with friends, but told her that he was working overtime. Not that he was trying to lie to her, but it was not the right time for her to meet them yet. If he told he
At the moment of grave danger, Cecelia could not help but call out for William Sandler. Though what she had not expected, was for someone to respond to her plea for help. “Release her.” A sultry voice akin to that of William's sounded in the dark, and in her state of agitation and fear, Cecelia had believed that William was here to save her. The fact that the sun had long set across the horizon and all Cecelia could see was the faint silhouette from afar of a man not unlike William only fu
How could he possibly be okay, the knife was stabbed brutally into his chest, the racking pain it brought almost had Cyrus swearing into the high heavens. “Chupse…” He hissed, “That merciless bastard. Though fortunately, it’s I who got stabbed, should it be you lying here, you would surely be sobbing your eyes out.” “…” ‘Was she that much of a crybaby?’ “This is the third time, isn’t it, pretty lady? Every time we meet, things go up in flames for me,” Cyrus says humorously, “I either get h
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
