"Three days." Before Mary could finish speaking, the man called Mr. Longhini looked at her expressionlessly and coldly spat out one word.

"Three days? How is that possible?" Mary immediately shook her head; she knew clearly in her heart that Anthony didn't have the money. "In such a short period, I fear he won't be able to gather that much money."

"Two days!" He looked at her and rose from the sofa. Both hands were lazily in his pockets as he walked out. "By this time, the day after tomorrow, if you don't have the money, prepare to collect the corpse." With that, he walked to the door.

Mary looked at his tall back; her heart was filled with persistent fear, and the group of black-suited men followed him out of the room. After everyone left, Ivy rushed in through the door with a panicked expression. Looking at Mary, who was standing there expressionless, her whole body slightly trembling and her face pale, she asked with concern.

"Mary, how are you feeling? What was happening? Who was

    Upon hearing this, Antony suggested cautiously."Miss Armani, why not plead with Mr. Murray? He's so rich, and if you become his wife, he will surely be willing to part with you...""Are you trying to get yourself killed? Mary was about to introduce him to Mr. Murray, and you gave him such a big problem. What do you think Mr. Murray would think if Mary asked him now for money to save you?" Ivy scolded in an irritated tone."Isn't this a proof of Miss Armani's love for me?" Antony didn't feel that anything was wrong with his plan."Why are you so stupid? If Mr. Murray finds out, you're a man who only knows how to create problems, a man who doesn't want to completely change the subject. Do you think he would be at ease handing Mary over to you?" Ivy rolled her eyes at him and said quickly.Listening to their discussion, Mary couldn't help but feel a little irritated."Stop arguing, please. I will think of a way to resolve this."After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out the

    Leaving the Peony Garden, Mary felt a bit dejected. She originally thought that borrowing money from Clarice was like killing two birds with one stone. How could she save Antony and, at the same time, make Clarice understand that Nicholas loved her, giving them a chance to be together in the future? However, when she saw Clarice and talked to her, she realized that what she had done was basically futile. Telling the truth to Clarice didn't give her any hope; instead, it strengthened her determination never to give up on Edward. What a loss!On the way back, Ivy called her and asked if the money problem had been resolved. She replied only once, saying that she would handle the issue, then hung up the phone and drove towards her home.When she arrived home, the light in the second-floor bedroom was still on. The light yellow curtain covered the entire floor, and the light coming from inside could clearly see a slender figure leaning against the window as if talking on the phone."Mary,

    "Then we don't need to worry too much about it. The government has already sold that piece of land to us, so we can simply demolish it." Vice President Elvis's way of doing things had always been quick and decisive; he didn't care about all this."But the other party is not an ordinary commoner. If we come here and force them, when the time comes, things might get out of control. I'm afraid this project..." Luna spoke, concerned.Nicholas continuously twirled an exquisite lighter in his hand, and after murmuring to himself for a moment, he said, "Use my name to set up a meeting with him.""President, do you want to meet him in person?" After Luna heard this, her face was full of shock."Maybe that guy Longhini was waiting for Nicholas to come to him." Vice President Elvis revealed the truth with a single sentence.Upon hearing this, Luna seemed to understand the situation and immediately nodded. "Alright, I will contact his secretary now."At that moment, Vice President Elvis's phone

    However, she didn't have time to concern herself with his feelings; the auction was about to start, and her little heart was extremely nervous. The bracelet her grandmother had left for her would appear at the auction tonight. If someone recognized it, she truly didn't know how to explain.Inside the auction room, the auction was about to begin. As the seats were pre-assigned, as soon as they entered the venue, a waiter led them directly to the front row and seated them.After Mary sat down, she became apprehensive. However, she suddenly noticed that in the chair to her left, next to Nicholas, sat a somewhat familiar figure. John Longhini? It was him, how could there be such a coincidence? He was also here. What if he found out about her? She turned her head to the right, facing Clarice, pretending to talk to her. However, her eyes were still glancing in his direction, trying to see if he had discovered her.The auction officially began. The first item to be auctioned was some ancient

    Mary's mouth secretly twitched. She hadn't seen him in a long time; it was obvious she had just seen him yesterday. "Mr. Longhini, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here too." Mary's face revealed a smile uglier than crying. "Unfortunately, I came here specifically to look for Miss Armani." John Longhini looked at her expressionlessly. What? To find her? In other words, he had discovered her long ago at the meeting point. So, after pretending for a long time, she couldn't avoid his scrutiny. "However, there's one thing that surprises me. Miss Armani is actually Mr. Murray's wife. I remember yesterday when we met, I heard from Antony that you are his girlfriend." John Longhini looked at her up and down with a playful expression. When Mary heard him say that, she knew in her heart that it wasn't good. If her affair with Anthony leaked from him, then the whole world would definitely fall into chaos. Although Antony was a chess piece for her to make Nicholas divorce her, s

    Edward was a smart person; he would never do anything that would make others hate him. Although John Longhini's body completely covered the woman in front of him, and he couldn't see her true face, he understood that in a moment like this, it wasn't appropriate for him to approach and talk too much."Since President Longhini is embracing a beauty now, I won't bother him." After hearing this, John Longhini's face suddenly revealed a gentle smile. "It's a pleasure, Mr. Murray, I'll take my leave first!" Upon hearing this, Edward smiled and gestured for him to go ahead.John Longhini then picked her up and walked towards the elevator, leaving Edward with an indifferent rear view. After entering the elevator and waiting for the door to close, John Longhini let go of Mary's hands. She had a vacant expression on her face, as if she hadn't regained her senses."Have you held on long enough?" He spoke with indifference, and his deep, magnetic voice floated into Mary's ears. At this moment, Ma

    "Excuse me." She didn't want to force her way past him, so she could only speak politely to him; however, Nicholas didn't step back. Instead, he took a step forward, closing the distance between their bodies, and turned his head to look at Luna."Go check the bathroom."It turned out he had overheard the conversation between her and Luna, and though Clarice didn't want to bother them, she knew that if Nicholas wanted to interfere, she simply couldn't refuse. So, Luna received the request and immediately headed to the bathroom. Clarice was stuck in Nicholas's position, unable to move, so she could only lower her head."Thank you, Nicholas!""Clarice, tell Edward that there's no benefit in doing things that harm others, but John Longhini is not a good person either." Nicholas's gaze landed on the top of her head, and his voice was emotionless, just pure advice. Upon hearing this, Clarice's face changed slightly.She didn't quite understand what he meant. Losing to others was not benefic

    Edward accompanied Clarice to the door but did not enter with her. Instead, he watched her enter, then turned and got into the car, heading to an unknown location. As soon as Clarice entered the house, she could faintly hear the sounds of people arguing on the second floor. Before she could ask Beatrice what had happened, she saw her father-in-law, Filippo, descending the stairs with an irritated expression. Without even giving her a chance to greet him, he stormed out of the house. Upstairs, a scream came from the master bedroom.Not knowing what had happened, Clarice followed the sobs towards the master bedroom on the second floor. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Beatrice kneeling on the floor cleaning up the mess, while her mother-in-law, Gretta, sat on the bed, crying with her face covered.Thinking about Filippo's expression when he left, Clarice was almost sure it was her in-laws who had fought, but why? Although she hadn't been in the Murray family for long, and from w

    In the ApartmentAt 10 PMThe two children had already gone to sleep, and Clarice was tired of sitting on the bed, reading. She lay down as well and fell asleep, disoriented. Just as she was drifting off, she suddenly felt as though a familiar palm was gently caressing her cheek.She, who usually slept very lightly, woke up and slowly opened her eyes. Under the faint light, a familiar face appeared before her. When she saw the person in front of her, she felt a mix of surprise and joy.“Nicholas, is that you?”“It’s me,” the other person replied in a gentle voice.“How could you...” Clarice wanted to ask why he was here, but she quickly laughed at herself. “I must be dreaming right now; otherwise, how could you be here?” Nicholas looked at her bitter smile and took her hand, letting her soft hand rest against his warm chest.Powerful, rhythmic thumps vibrated through her palm. The sensation was so real, so reliable.“Nicholas, is it really you? I... I’m not dreaming, am I?” Clarice wa

    "Mr. Cassano, this is the butler from the Johnson family. Miss Jessica has just been taken by the police.""What? Jessica was taken by the police? Why?" Nicholas pretended to be surprised as he asked."They said she paid someone to kill on her behalf, but that’s impossible. We believe she must have been wronged by someone. Someone like her would never do such a thing, and she has no enemies." The butler explained."Really? If she has no enemies, who would accuse her falsely?" Nicholas asked."Well…" The butler realized he couldn’t win this argument, so he handed the phone over to Mrs. Johnson."Nicholas, it’s me, Auntie. Please, think of a way to save Jessica. After all, her wedding is the day after tomorrow. If the reporters find out about this, even if Jessica is innocent in the end, the reputations of both the Johnson and Cassano families will be affected, and your wedding will be definitely impacted. You need to act quickly." Mrs. Johnson urged."Aunt, don’t rush. How about this?

    The person who entered the house first glanced at Nicholas and greeted him with a look, and Nicholas responded with a slight expression. However, Luna pretended not to know anything and asked,"Officers, we heard you're here to apprehend a suspect. Could you explain?""Of course, we know this is the Cassano family, but even if it’s the Cassano family, if someone breaks the law, they will still face consequences," the detective said."Officer, may I ask who you’re trying to arrest?" Nicholas asked."Who is Julie?" The officer looked around the room and asked. When Julie heard her name, she froze, her face turning pale."Julie is here. Why? What has she done?" Luna raised her hand and pointed at her."Miss Julie, you are suspected of murdering a man from our town, Wayne Robust. We are taking you in for questioning." The officer didn’t answer her question but instead walked over to Julie and said sternly."Officer, there must be some misunderstanding!" Olivia exclaimed in surprise upon h

    Just then, in addition to the old man from before, a lady entered the room with a basket of vegetables in her hands. Seeing Julie, she asked.“Old man, are there any guests?”“To see Wayne.” The old man said.“Uncle, auntie, Wayne's just had a little chat with me and he's a bit tired. Now that he's asleep, I won't bother you anymore. “As she spoke, she got ready to leave.“Let's eat before we leave.” The old woman wanted him to stay, but her husband looked at her. “She's busy.”“Ah, then I won't send you away. Take care. “The old woman smiled.As soon as she received the amnesty, Julie quickly left the room, and after she left, the old man looked at the old woman with disapproval.“What happened to you? Didn't you see that she was fully armed when she came to the house for fear of being infected by Wayne? Would she dare eat our family's food?”“I didn't think she was like the people who came to our house this morning. I think these people are very nice and don't dislike us.”“Aren't

    “I never knew Nicholas' weakness until Clarice and Jessica came along. And Clarice's way of allowing me to find Nicholas' weakness, and Jessica's appearance, was the equivalent of giving me the knife. ”Julie's mind was immersed in the fantasy of revenge, and her expression became fierce. “But, unfortunately, Jessica is very stupid, and to be exposed so quickly, I didn't expect you to find me here.“You really are incredible. You knew how to deal with Nicholas, and yet you chose to blame me. Did you want to make Nicholas fight with me?”“But in the end, you still didn't find out?”Julie now regretted her mistake. After all, although Edward could have become her greatest help, he was different from Jessica, he was very intelligent and couldn't be controlled.“We're in the same boat now. Your goal is to destroy the Cassano Family, and so am I. That's why I think that if we work together, Nicholas will definitely be no match for us.”“Tell me, how can we cooperate?” Upon hearing this, J

    "You must be very curious, right? How did I know you were the one hiding behind Jessica?" When Julie sat down, Edward spoke with a smile."Did Jessica tell you? Did she feel like I was using her?" Julie asked."Did she tell me? Do you think a woman with that kind of IQ would even realize she was being used by you?" Edward scoffed."If she didn’t tell you, then you..." Julie’s confusion grew deeper."Isn’t there a saying in this world? If you don’t want others to know about it, do it yourself, because someone else might find out. By the way, I don’t have any enmity with you, so why do you like to frame me? Have you thought about the consequences of being discovered by me?" Edward spoke, deliberately leaving out what had happened 30 years ago. Instead, he seized Julie and asked Jessica to incriminate Edward, causing a misunderstanding between him and Nicholas."Did you invite me here today to take revenge for me framing you?" Julie, however, was quick-witted and could only respond with

    The Next MorningJulie got up early the next morning, had breakfast prepared in the kitchen, arranged for the servants to clean, and went to the garden to tend to the flowers and plants. When Olivia finally got up, Julie served her breakfast. After noticing that Olivia seemed busy preparing for the wedding, she stepped forward and spoke to her."Ma'am, there's something I need to take care of today. I promise it won't take long.""You're leaving?" Olivia frowned. "The hotel will send someone to deliver the menu later, and I wanted you to help me look it over.""It won’t take long. I should be back in about an hour. I’ll contact them at the hotel and ask them to come for lunch. Is that alright?" Julie thought for a moment."Alright, then go and come back quickly." Seeing Julie seemed to be in a hurry, Olivia simply waved her hand and added, "Go ahead."Having received permission, Julie quickly went upstairs to change before leaving.At 9:00 a.m., Edward's people arrived punctually at t

    In the Cassano Family's Main House.It was three in the morning when Julie was lying in bed, sleeping deeply.Suddenly, the phone on the nightstand rang. She must have done a lot of bad things over the past years.Although she thought it was revenge, she still subconsciously knew she held two new lives in her hands.Thus, over all these years, she had rarely slept peacefully.Nightmares came almost every night.At that moment, her phone rang again, and on this quiet night, it felt especially deafening.She woke up startled and looked at the clock on the wall opposite her bed. It was three a.m.Why would someone call her at this hour? Frowning, she picked up the phone from the nightstand.The screen’s light was much brighter than her night lamp, making her eyes—accustomed to the dim light—feel uncomfortable as she squinted.When she saw the caller ID was from an unknown number, she assumed it was a call from a scammer but had no intention of answering. She simply hung up.She placed th

    As soon as he entered, he saw that Luna and Edward had arrived, and Edward’s forehead appeared to be slightly injured, so he had wrapped it with a simple bandage.“What happened to you?” Nicholas asked when he saw this.“What’s going on? Wasn’t it your lovely fiancée who did this? I was in need of a cut for you this time. Think about how you’ll make it up to me when the time comes.” Edward crossed his legs and bit into an apple as he spoke.“President, why did you call us here so urgently? Is there something important?” Luna asked.“Yes.” Nicholas nodded. “Over the past two days, I’ve been thinking about Julie’s pregnancy. I now have an answer in my heart, and it’s far from the truth.”“What are you trying to say?” Edward asked.“I suspect that the father of Julie’s child is actually my father!” Nicholas fell silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.“What?” When Edward heard this, he was so shocked that he didn’t even have time to swallow the apple crumbs in his mouth.
