Christina was tall and strong, almost twice the size of Faye. Christina's expression darkened; she refused to give up, using all her strength. However, instead of dragging Faye away, she was thrown off. She stumbled and hit the wall.Nurses hurried over upon hearing the commotion. They were greeted with the sight of a calm and composed Faye and a disheveled Christina leaning against the wall. They were momentarily puzzled.Faye glanced at the nurses at the door. In a chilling tone, she said to Christina, "As the attending physician, your first duty when a patient is in distress should be to escort the patient's family out, not to bicker with me. Why aren't you focusing on urgent care?"Christina's face slightly darkened; she straightened up and said sternly, "If it weren't for your interference, how could I lose focus?"Faye sneered. "You're a doctor. A split-second decision could mean a life. At times like these, do you have time to argue with me or even fight?""Do you think
Wennie really admired Faye's direct and commanding demeanor. It wasn't just Faye's remarkable strength that led the security team to follow her, but also her respectable character. Without a word, Wennie proceeded to complete the discharge procedures.The hospital director observed Wennie's immediate compliance with Faye's instructions, then shifted his attention to Faye.Faye carried herself with a composed and commanding presence. The director was certain that she was no ordinary person.It was a well-known fact that Charles was currently leading the security team. In that case, who could this girl be? There had been no mention of a new leader for the security team, and this girl appeared as though she hadn't even graduated from college. It seemed unlikely that she could be a leader.Contemplating this, the director smiled as he said, "Madam, I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. The patient is severely injured, and his current situation is unstable. Moving the pa
After leaving the hospital, Faye drove directly to the pier in Wennie's car.It was already past 11 in the evening, with ten or 20 minutes to spare before her cargo's arrival. So far, the goods bound for Pembrook and Jeorgia were secure. Yet, Faye knew this sense of security was fleeting. Despite the advantage of evading machine inspections through water transportation and discreetly moving contents, every maneuver was under the scrutiny of watchful eyes.Recent disruptions by Anastasia had caused shortages in the diamond market, and this particular batch had traveled from the south with an extended stopover in Yamania. It was certain that they would be closely monitored.Faye stretched out her arms as she patiently awaited the approaching ship. At 11:35 pm at night, a luxurious cruise liner emitted a loud roar, gliding toward them on the sea surface.With a yawn, Faye leapt onto a rooftop—observing the approaching vessel. However, as the ship drew nearer, she noticed a surge i
As the ship docked at Pembrook Pier, a flood of tourists poured out, rapidly transforming the once orderly dock into a scene of chaos.No one knew who spread the rumor that a batch of top-grade diamonds, worth tens of millions, would arrive today. The domestic diamond market was already in turmoil due to an interruption in the supply of top-grade diamonds caused by Anastasia's uncle, the longstanding monopolizer of the market.Originally well-supplied, the domestic diamond market had faced disruption for ten days, leading to widespread speculation. Rumors suggested a scarcity of raw materials caused by an accident at a southern mine. It was said that the mine had been sealed off temporarily due to casualties, prompting a global shutdown and a comprehensive overhaul of safety protocols for all mines.Even the higher-ups were uncertain how long the overhaul would take. The ambiguity surrounding the timeline for this rectification left business tycoons distressed as they grappled w
The night deepened as the sea breeze howled, tousling Faye's long hair.Cedric was captivated by the sight of this. Moonlight spilled onto Faye's face, accentuating her fair complexion and adding a touch of delicacy. Her laughter, pure yet sly, exuded a lazy charm that increasingly enchanted Cedric.Cedric's face briefly contorted with anger as memories of her previous words resurfaced.He muttered under his breath, "He made the mistake of bullying my wife. What happened before was just a warning ..." His frown deepened as he continued, "I didn't expect him to forget his lesson so quickly, let alone dare to covet my wife's belongings."Amused, Faye teased, "So, how do you plan to deal with him?""Shall I leave him to you, Faye?" Faye snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, just leave it to me."Despite losing the diamonds, Faye seemed unaffected as she was even able to joke about it. A complicated expression formed on Cedric's face and he asked, "What about that box?
Although Faye's strategy was initially meant to draw attention toward Seth, the attempt to leave the pier with Cedric exposed them to a swarm of pursuers.The allure of diamonds proved irresistible as the information Faye had meticulously disseminated about the precious stones attracted numerous groups vying for control. It was no surprise that Anastasia arrogantly believed Faye couldn't secure such a substantial quantity of top-grade diamonds. With a mere command, her uncle person disrupted the entire market, driving desperate individuals to resort to any means necessary to acquire them.But could he truly ascend to the throne of the diamond world?Faye chuckled, prepared to team up with Cedric against the pursuers. However, Cedric swiftly ushered her into the car."Be good and wait for me in the car, okay? It'll just take a few minutes." Wrapped in the towel she handed him earlier, Cedric's damp clothes outlined his robust physique. At a glance, Faye couldn't help but blush.S
On the journey to Jeorgia, Faye switched cars three times. Upon reaching the city next to Pembrook, she finally boarded a pre-arranged helicopter, rushing back to Jeorgia.Exhausted from the journey, they arrived in Jeorgia at dawn, a little after five in the morning. Faye, who had barely slept the entire night, had the helicopter land on the rooftop of the Light Moon Designs building.Lincoln and Landon had been waiting there, accompanied by a few bodyguards. Witnessing Faye alight from the vehicle, both approached eagerly with excitement. But before they could even speak, they observed Cedric jumping down after Faye.Lincoln felt as if he had been dealt a blow of ten thousand points. How could she take Cedric along for such an important mission and leave him out of the plan completely? Wasn't he supposed to be her most valued subordinate?Casting Cedric a resentful glance, Lincoln's eyes were practically on the verge of tears. Puzzled, Faye asked, "Did you two not get enough
Faye slept soundly that day. Before Cedric could finish his tasks, she had already fallen asleep. When she woke up, she found herself nestled in Cedric's embrace, and the sun outside had long since risen. It was already past two in the afternoon. With a yawn, Faye observed Cedric, still peacefully asleep and appearing serene, almost childlike. Not wanting to disturb him, Faye gazed at him for a while before yawning again and burying her face in his chest, continuing her sleep.However, just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she felt her mouth cover shut, making it hard to breathe.A pair of large, warm hands roamed her body. Initially thinking it was a nightmare, Faye struggled in confusion, only to realize her hands were restrained. A familiar scent surrounded her, accompanied by a familiar touch.Faye's eyes snapped open to meet Cedric's. He was so close that his face appeared magnified. Pushing him away, she gasped, "Are you trying to murder me?""Done prete
