The corners of Faye's lips twitched. Her somber expression was replaced with that of someone rendered speechless.How could this man be C?She'd probably given it too much thought.C was someone who had spent thousands of dollars searching for her on the dark web.Since last year, he'd had his sights set on her, searching for news related to Dr. Connor.Under normal circumstances, if he was someone who desperately needed her, she would have helped him.But the problem was that C was someone from the Shaw family.The Shaws were the largest family in Jorn City. They were so complicated that it exceeded Faye's expectations.She'd heard that C was so anxious to find her because he wanted her to treat Mr. Shaw Senior.Mr. Shaw Senior was once an almighty person. He was the one who managed the Shaws all these years.Now that he'd fallen, the Shaws had become chaotic.What with their own family politics and them being wary of the outside world that was eyeing them, the Shaws were n
The car drove on steadily.It was quiet in the car. Only soft music could be heard.It seemed like Cedric was focusing on driving, but he was actually waiting for Faye's answer. He hadn't expected that Dr. Connor would suddenly come to treat Faye's mother.All these years, he'd exhausted every method trying to invite her, but failed.How could Faye and Dr. Ziegler get her in so easily?Insider info had told him that Alice had arrived in the country with a pack of technologically advanced medical supplies. Only then was Cedric certain that this mysterious Dr. Connor would really appear.He had done so many preparations just to catch her. However, even though this was in Jeorgia, his own territory, he still failed.He just couldn't understand how that woman had managed to escape his traps. He was eager to meet her.When Faye asked him about Dr. Connor, Cedric began wondering if Faye could get her to appear. Even if she couldn't, Faye might know something.However, there was stil
When Faye woke up, it was the third day.She had slept for one whole day and night.Her phone had run out of battery. She charged it and washed up. Humming, she came out from the bathroom and saw sandwiches and milk in the kitchen.While eating, she thought to herself that she'd found a pretty good malewife. Although he didn't have any spectacular attributes, being hard-working and considerate was enough.A simple life like this didn't sound too bad.Faye was shocked by her own thoughts.Was she actually thinking of living with Cedric forever?She shook her head mockingly. Someone like her was destined to dance with danger. How could she dream of a simple and happy life?Her phone began ringing. Faye realized then that her phone had been bombarded with calls.Some of the calls were from the Browns. Lucy Murray, Cedric, the nurses, and a few unsaved numbers had called, too.Right now, it was one of the nurses calling."You've finally picked up, Ms. Brown. Please come to the h
Tracy's reputation was ruined.Although she could probably get out of the police station this time, things weren't looking good for the Browns.Because of Faye, the Browns had wronged the Shaws.Anthon would gain nothing if he went on with marrying Tracy. He would even have to bear all sorts of burdens that came with it.But Faye was different.She managed to forge a relationship with Lincoln and was working at Light Moon Designs.Light Moon Designs was a huge brand internationally. People who could work there were extraordinary.Faye must have had exceptional talents if she had managed to land a spot at the company right after her graduation.The first time Michael saw Faye standing next to Lincoln, he felt that Faye was different.The Browns' schemes against her had all failed, but Faye had managed to emerge victorious from all the challenges. Even Dr. Connor had come to treat her mother.Of course, if Flora hadn't asked Anthon when he was going to marry Faye, the Lynches w
"Fuck!"Just as Faye had invited Lucy to lunch at noon, she received news that C's people had taken Alice away.Faye had given Alice a safe route. She'd also kept an eye on Cedric's movements.But C had still taken her away."Is this a challenge?" Faye gnashed her teeth. She took out an extremely ordinary-looking phone and disassembled it, turning it into a little laptop.With her slender fingers, she began typing on the keyboard.After a few minutes, she found Alice's location. She frowned when she found that it was at a large villa.This place looked familiar.Because of Hank, Faye had investigated the Shaws after coming back to the country. If her memory served her right, that villa was built by the Shaws. On top of that, Alice was right where they were living now.Could it be that the Shaws from Jeorgia and Jorn City were related?Faye stroked her chin. She'd investigated both of these families before, and she hadn't discovered many links between them.Even if there were
After lunch, Faye's phone beeped again.She grabbed it and realized that although their attacks looked demure and harmless, they were about to destroy her last wall of defense.Faye cursed internally and began working at the table at once.She'd underestimated C.Faye hadn't expected that someone who would hire Q to help him find information would be so powerful.If he were so talented, he could have found information about her by himself. Why did he need Q?What Faye didn't know was that Cedric wasn't lacking in talent. He just didn't want to expose his identity.On top of that, even if he had personally done it, it probably would have bore the same results. So why not let Q do it instead?Lucy saw how busy Faye was and sighed, feeling bad for her. She silently took a photo of Faye and posted it on social media."I feel so bad for my baby. She's still working even during meal time," the caption said. There was even a crying emoji next to it.Faye didn't know about this. Ten
Lucy, who was still in a daze because of Faye's beauty, blinked and turned toward the entrance.There was a girl in her mid-20s standing there. She had brown wavy hair and a bow nestled in it. Arrogance and pride were written on her delicate face.She was wearing a pink miniskirt and high heels. She strode haughtily into the shop and pointed at Faye, saying, "I said, I want to buy this outfit. Where's the attendant? Didn't you hear me?""Don't you know what ‘first come, first served' means?" Lucy smirked and shielded Faye. She looked at the arrogant girl in amusement. "Can't you see that my friend is trying it on?""So what if she is? She hasn't bought it yet."Ruth Keane flipped her hair and said cockily, "Does it mean it's hers if she tried it on? Haven't you ever bought anything online before? Whoever pays first gets it."Lucy was exasperated. "But you haven't paid for it yet, either, have you? At least my friend is wearing it. What about you?""So many people try things on i
The scene suddenly fell silent.In the boutique, several shop assistants, including the manager, were all drawn by the noise. They rushed over, attempting to ease the atmosphere.However, when they heard Ruth speaking in a honeyed voice once she got through the phone, they went silent. They all shot sympathetic glances at the previous shop assistant.The manager even silently came up to her and said worriedly, "It is indeed Mr. Colt on the other end of the line. Don't say anything later. I'll deal with it."The shop assistant was touched. At the same time, she also gained the courage to face it head-on.She shook her head. "It's alright. I can handle it."The manager frowned. "What do you mean you can handle it? She's Mr. Colt's sister. You'll lose your job if you offend her."However, the shop assistant stood firm. "Trust me. I really can handle it."Seeing as how the manager was still skeptical and worried, the shop assistant tugged on her hand and pointed to Faye. Dres
