I returned to the office, overhearing colleagues whispering among themselves.
I understood they were complaining about how I had brought such a crisis to the studio because of my actions.
"Enough, everyone quiet!"
Rachel dispersed them. "Our biggest task right now is to find a way to salvage our clients and losses. Not to spread rumors."
I looked at Rachel, feeling sorry.
"I went to see Damon and sent him to the hospital."
I knew my solution didn't really address the core issue, but I just wanted to make my friend feel a bit better.
"That's awesome, Fiona. I wish that after he breaks his third leg, he'd actually start using his brain to think."
I chuckled. "Indeed, this dumbass actually thought he could force himself on me."
"Ah!"
Rachel was startled, grabbing my hand. "Are you okay, Fiona? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
I replied, "If he had, would I be standing here in front of you now? Don't worr
On the drive back home, I purposely passed by the City Hall.My mood inexplicably felt pleasant and cheerful. At that moment, I only wanted to see Brenda as soon as possible.He often came to pick me up and invite me to dinner, so why couldn't I take the initiative, meet him after work, and invite him to dinner?I excitedly dialed his number, but his assistant, Collins, answered the call.He informed me that Brenda was in a meeting.I couldn't hide my disappointment, but I also understood that as a crucial secretary by the President's side, his time and freedom were not entirely under his control."Madam, is there something you need?"I quickly denied it, "Oh, no, everything is fine. I was just passing by. That's alright; if Brenda is busy, I'll head home first.""I apologize, Madam. Mr. Capie has an important dinner to attend tonight, so I'm afraid you'll have to go back alone."Collins continued, "However, if you need
The woman before me was none other than my biological mother, Melissa.I looked around to ensure no one was watching, then quickly led her to a secluded café."Haven't I told you? If you need something, call me. Don't just suddenly show up like this."I scolded her."My Catherine, if we weren't desperate, I wouldn't have come all the way to this place to find you. But your father and I can't afford our cell phone bills anymore."Melissa put on a pitiful expression, explaining to me, "Your damned father gambled and lost again. We've borrowed so much money at high interest rates, and even our house is mortgaged. We have nowhere to go. Your father got his leg injured by them, and we can't even afford medical bills.""Gambled again?"My head was throbbing with frustration."Why did he gamble again? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't gamble anymore? How much did you lose this time? Last time, you took away fifty thousand
Safis is the blacksheep of the Liwell family. He has a free and Bohemian character and does not like business.So he took money from his father and invested it in a friend's consulting firm.It's more extensive. It's actually what we call a detective agency.This detective Paris here today, he's the one who brought us in.Mr. Paris was in his forties, wearing a very plain grey jacket and a coffee-checked beret.When walking, he likes to lower his head, and in the shabby briefcase he holds on his waist, he seems to be able to take out a stack of insurance policies.He is thin, his eyes are not big but very sharp, a very typical European hook nose, the whole person exuded a fine bourgeois temperament.I was surprised."Why? Do you think private investigators are supposed to be like Sherlock Holmes?Safis saw through my doubts and said to me with a smile.Although I'm good friends with Rachel, I barely see her family
I came out of the cafe, and it was 10:30 in the morning.Rachel's brother, Safes, offered me a ride, and I said no.I'm not going to the studio today, and I'm really not in the mood for work.I want to walk alone, I want to think about the whole thing.It's been 10 years, 10 years I've kept it locked up like a nightmare, and I never intended to tell anyone about it.I don't even know how I'd explain it -- if Brenda knew about it.But would he care?It won't be long before this impulsive and ridiculous marriage ends between us.I even wonder if Brenda, when he gets home tonight and he's sober, will seriously talk to me about who the woman was in his car yesterday?"Need a car, ma 'am?"A gray car pulled up beside me, rolled down its window, and a bearded man poked his head out.I froze for a moment and looked around, convinced that I seemed to be alone.I pointed to myself and shook my head. "No, I di
In the heat of the session, Collins suddenly knocked on the door and entered, unceremoniously.He walked over to Brenda, whispered something in his ear, then picked up his private phone and showed it to him.Brenda's personal cell phone is usually kept by her assistant Collins during meetings.Outside of the family and Fiona, almost no one knew the number."Mr. Cappe, this is supposed to be... Madame's ring?"Collins looked at Brenda with a grim face.Although the man in front of the surface is still calm, but the veins on the arm have been raised very obvious."Excuse me for a moment."Brenda stood up and, despite all the surprised stares, followed Collins out of the room."When did this happen?"Brenda asked.Chris Collins: "Just ten minutes ago, I got a call from a strange man who said they had a young woman in their possession, and she gave them the number and offered the ring as a token."Collin
The furious Marianne even tried to rush up and slap me two more times, but my husband, who was as big as a mountain, rushed up and stood in front of me."My wife has already told you to get out. Go by yourself, or should I ask someone to do it?"Seeing that the situation was not good, Catherine quickly pulled her out."Mom, let's go first. Once my sister gets angry, it will be the same as last time."She took a look at her left hand, which was bound with bandages, and implied that it was as if I had really broken it for her.Brenda probably didn't want me to hold out for 0.01 seconds, so wave, and two bodyguards rush in.They picked up my mom and Catherine and threw them out like garbage.I didn't cry. In front of Brenda, I thought I had no image left to maintain.He loved me and took care of me, and I was content.In the evening, Rachel came.When she found out I was kidnapped, she freaked out.At this moment, in
A few days later, early in the morning, I told Brenda I wanted to leave the hospital.I didn't have any serious injuries, and the swelling on my head had gone down.Staying in the hospital is just a precaution, just for observation.But it's boring and inconvenient.Brenda is very busy, but he still comes to see me every morning before he goes to work, and stays with me until I fall asleep at night.After several days of this, I felt that other people had lost a big circle."Let me go. I'll rest at home just as well."I asked Brenda."I won't wander off. You can go to work in peace, and Madame Maria can take care of me easily at home."But I can sense that Brenda still doesn't seem so reassured.But he could still relate to the frustration of lying in the hospital for three days without being able to wash my hair."All right."Brenda finally nodded yes, but said he would finalize it with the doctor t
Brenda’ pov:With Fiona settled in, I was about to give a few final details to the few bodyguards left behind and head back.The Cabinet is taking over, and I'm so busy at work that it's really hard to be distracted by anything else.At that moment, my mother came over."Brenda, I need you to come into the study. I need to talk to you a few words."Mother seldom spoke to me in such a serious tone.The last time I remember it was when I decided to go into politics and take over from my father.I knew that my mother didn't really want me to get into politics, but she finally respected my choice and told me solemnly that as long as I was responsible for my decision, no matter what happened in the future, I should not regret it.I also knew that once this path began, it would mean that I had to let go of "the one."But I decided to follow my heart.God gave me luck. I finally found Fion
"No, I'm wearing two masks." Eufez comforted her. I then noticed that beyond the mask, there were some bare scars extending out. I couldn't help but frown: "You did it yourself?" "Damn it, Brenda, would you stop talking. I've just coaxed her." Orpheus complained and said to Fiona, "Don't worry, it's just a little hurt." Detectives, you know, always bleed a little." Fiona whimpered, "Take off your mask and let me see it." "No." Eupheus took a step back, covering his mask. Fiona wants to come forward. I took her by the arm and sarcastically said, "It's too embarrassing to be like this." Come down with me and I'll have the doctor change you back." Fiona looked back at me immediately. "Can the wound on his face be healed?" I said, "Of course you can. It just takes a lot of suffering. But don't worry, he brought it on himself." Fiona was relieved to hear me say that. After all, even a little pain, but still better than this. Then she wiped away her tears and begged earnestly,
Brenda 'Pov:Another call from the kidnapper.I don't know what those people in Security do!All those people, and they can't even look at a cabin on top of a mountain!'Excuse me, Sir. But we did the best we could."The man I sent trembled and replied, "Even on the opposite hill there are our men." We're even using satellites and underground detection systems. Even he couldn't have dug the tunnel without our knowledge.""So he's a magician who teleports himself into it?""... I'm sorry we failed in our duty."Rarely have I been so angry.I feel like I'm on the verge of losing control.A group of them stood in the room with their heads down, looking as if they had done something wrong.But scolding them won't help.I rubbed my brow helplessly: "Forget it. Angelus, didn't you say there was a satellite? Start three days ago, see how people get in. Assistant get the car ready, and contact the local poli
Fiona 'Pov:Brenda wanted to say something else.But the man in the mask just hung up."Do you think he'll come?""I don't know.""Ha ha, you don't trust him so much?" The masked man laughed.I waited for him to laugh enough before he replied, "I was tied up last time, and I'm tied up again this time. He probably thought I was lying to him.""Oh, that makes sense."He nodded thoughtfully."Maybe I should have sounded a little more aggressive, or... Why don't you send him some markers? Do you think I should send him your ear or your finger?""Neither, thank you.""Ha ha, that's not up to you."With that he strode toward me.And at once I took from my waist the pistol that Eupheus had given me: "Stop still!""Ha ha, good."He stopped, but still looked at me with a smile on his side. "Can you shoot?""......"I froze for a moment, but I couldn't help thinking of Brenda
Jenny 'Pov: He bowed his head obediently. And that's when I saw his eyes behind the mask. His eyes were dark blue, like a blue lake, a frozen lake. At first glance, it is filled with light, happy, clear and crystal thin ice. But a closer look revealed that the lake was filled with a thick sadness and a deep, suffocating melancholy. I feel like I've seen those eyes before. Unfortunately, his eyelids and eye sockets were also slashed, and I couldn't make out his face. "Beautiful eyes indeed... I'm kind of falling in love with you, too." "Control your heart, miss. I don't want to be blinded one day." "Ha ha! I laughed a few times and couldn't help but sigh: "You are not an ordinary killer." "Well, what do you mean?" "Because of your eyes, of course. Also, you seem to be wearing a little too much perfume, Mr. Killer. Assassins don't wear perfume this strong, unless you're in a hurry
Ofez 'pov: I thought about it all night. I want to end this sinful partnership with Jenny. But Jenny, this woman is not that easy to talk to. She already had a fight with me the last time I tried to break up our partnership outside the hospital. This fucking woman has all the evidence she needs to work with me. I underestimated her skills and overestimated my judgment. Every time she came up with a plan of action, I was completely caught off guard. Because I'm full of Fiona, and I miss her and I owe her. I don't have time for anything else. She said that unless we continued to work together, she would tell Fiona everything I had ever done with her. Damn it. I had to keep working with her. At the very least, I need her to think that I'm still going to cooperate. But it never occurred to me that this serpent-hearted woman was thinking what I was thinking. She's cheat
Fiona 'Pov: Which is weird, because they used to hate each other. It's hard enough for Orpheus not to scold Brenda, but why the sudden change of heart today? "I don't know." Ophius sighed and said, "Maybe I did do something wrong." "Ophius?" "I'm fine." Eufez raised his lips and smiled, but his brow was still bitter. I couldn't help but say, "Has anything happened recently? You don't look very well." 'I'm fine, Fiona. Really, I just... Reflecting on myself." "But you look tired." "Is it? Ofeisqiang cheered up and smiled, "Maybe I've been working overtime too long recently." Work, you know, it's always with us, we never lose a moment, more than the family dog." "Ha ha, you really need to have a good rest and take more care of your health." 'Yes, Fiona, I'll have a good rest.' Eufez looked into my eyes, and there was something sad in his eyes, and something... You don't want
Fiona 'Pov: "Oh, yes, one more thing." Ophius suddenly said, "As for the photo problem I mentioned last time, the Criminal investigation Center has given the latest results." "Oh," he said. I doubt it. And he sent a file directly. "This is the thing." "Someone put this virus in my phone. That's why your photos were stolen." "Is there such a virus?" "Of course, my colleague told me that this virus has been in my phone for more than half a month!" If you hadn't warned me, I wouldn't have found out now." "All right." I secretly saved the virus source file and sent it to my company secretary, asking her to help verify the authenticity. Then I asked him, "Well, can we find out who planted this virus?" "Of course." He agreed very easily. But when I asked who that person was, he suddenly fell silent. "Brenda." Ofez hesitated for a long time, then said, "The virus came from Branda
Brenda's eyes darkened for a second when she heard what I said.But he didn't say much, just a light response: "Very good.""Yes. He loved me very much and was always good to me."I said, "Are there any other questions? If not, I should get back. I don't want to keep Eufez waiting too long. '"All right." Brenda offered to move out of the way. "Be careful.""Thank you."I nodded thanks and walked quickly out of the hospital.On the way back, my chest was stuffy and my eyes were pantothenic.But I have clearly convinced myself to give up this relationship, why still heartache?Maybe you don't want to be wronged...Brenda 'Pov:Got shot again.The bullet came from Fiona.The doctor said if it had been a few centimeters to the left, it wouldn't have been an arm.But I'm happy.Because Fiona's worried about me.I hadn't seen that look in her eyes in a long time.
Fiona 'Pov: Rachel and I walked out of the hospital. Yet Eufeus is not here. "Strange, where is my brother? I was waiting here." "Perhaps he has his own business to attend to." "What could be more important than picking you up? Just wait and I'll call him." "No need." It's good that Orpheus isn't here, because I don't want to leave the hospital just yet. Rachel looked at me in surprise. "Why? You don't want to go back and see Brenda, do you?" "HMM." I wanted to see him today. How could I just leave? "All right, all right." Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. "I knew you couldn't let him go." The two of us hid in the store across the street from the hospital, planning to go back to the hospital to visit Brenda after Jenny left. But unexpectedly, Jenny did come out, but the person who came to pick her up was actually... Ofez? "Why your brother..." In addition to my su
