Cherry was extremely frustrated. She was so frustrated that she wanted to bite someone. Fiancé?! Was he not afraid of being punished for telling a lie this big?

“Her condition is a bit complicated.” Dr. Stead brought out a stack of files and flipped them open.

Complicated? She could either be seriously ill or she could be faking it. Larry felt that it was the latter.

Larry directed his gaze towards Cherry who was still within the separated space. He noticed that she sat quietly and stared blankly into space. There was no expression on her face and neither was there any reaction from her.

His lips curved into a subtle smile. He wanted to see how long she could fake it.

“Her illness was a result of what occurred during her childhood. There's nothing wrong with her cognitive development but due to an accident that traumatized her as a child, she defends herself by locking away her self-awareness. She doesn't use her wits and doesn't think. She has shut herself away even more since she wa

    Cherry walked away smugly as she overheard the increasingly inquisitive questions from the crowd. Nelly refused to answer but occasionally, gasps could be heard.In five years, Nelly became the No. 1 socialite of the City, and had mastered her ability in acting. Cherry's lips slowly parted into a subtle smile. Her younger sister's meticulously crafted plan was about to fall apart.Five years have passed and she was no longer the shy, awkward girl from long ago. Not many people now could conspire against and try to harm her.Nelly was not skilled enough to do so.Cherry had earlier driven to a shopping Mall on her own and parked her car in the basement parking level. She walked into the elevator.Perhaps everyone had gone to watch the commotion because there was no one else inside the elevator.However, the elevator doors slid open again just as they were about to close.Larry entered and was followed closely behind by Secretary Leo.Secretary Leo let out a quiet sigh.

    Cherry hung up immediately. If the conversation were to go on, Queen could have probably scrubbed her clean and sent her to somebody's bed.However, based on Queen's investigation, it could just be a coincidence.Maybe it was all in her head.The next day, pieces of news about the two Young Ladies of the West family plastered all over the headlines again, but it was slightly different this time around. The City's No. 1 socialite, Nelly, was accused of ignoring sisterly ties. Her elder sister who had just recovered had been harassed, yet she hid in a corner as an onlooker.On the other hand, things had taken a positive turn for Cherry, who had always been shamed and bashed by the media. Many reports described how innocent, naive and pure she was.Innocent? Naive?Larry snorted gently when he saw these descriptions."I heard Edward has organized a banquet for Cherry West. In fact, it's a matchmaking banquet, and it'll be held tomorrow. Stanley is also invited." Secretary Leo pretended

    Within a split second, changes could be observed in the expressions of a few people.The waitress was guilty and afraid; Nelly waited anxiously; Hardy was caught in a struggle.Larry's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze was fixed upon Cherry. Nevertheless, since the incident at the parking lot, he looked at her without the usual sharpness and intimidation in his gaze so that she would not notice him.“Larry, the Coke is obviously spiked. I'm worried that if she drinks it…” Stanley was worried.However, Cherry did not drink it. At the following moment, she moved the drink away from her mouth.Nelly met her gaze and her heart skipped a beat. Cherry was clearly smiling, but her smile sent a shiver down her younger sister's spine.Larry's lips parted into a grin. Indeed, Cherry did not let him down.“Has she noticed it?” Stanley was a bit puzzled when he saw Cherry's reaction. Then, he got excited again. “Since she has noticed it, what will she do? Will she force the Coke down Ne

    Cherry was not the type to hold grudges because she would usually have her revenge on the spot. Thus, it was payback time for Nelly.Hardy let out a quiet sigh and glared at Cherry. 'Staying here on purpose to accompany her? And she dared to say that?'Did he do so willingly? Nevertheless, he could not retaliate. The best way to retaliate was to leave, but he could not do that either."Hardy, Justin has something to tell you. Probably on some business matters." Nelly's heart was filled with hate, but she dared not reveal her true emotions. She maintained her charming smile and tender voice."Yeah, business is more important. You'd better deal with that, Hardy. You don't have to accompany me," Cherry quipped before Hardy could reply. Nelly assumed Hardy refused to leave, so she tried to persuade him by using the subject of business. She never expected that he could not move. No matter what she said, he could not follow her.Hardy glared at Cherry angrily. He was stunned when he saw h

    "Perhaps it's Leonard? Or Mark? Maybe Michael? Or…" Cherry frowned as she mentioned each name while tapping her fingers.The men who were called out by Cherry were taken aback and looked at Nelly knowingly.They were not the only ones who regarded her this way. Many people in the hall also looked at her differently."What are you talking about?" Nelly started to panic. She could no longer maintain her usual ladylike demeanor. She instead raised her voice without warning as she cried out in anger and frustration."Oh dear, she is agitated." Stanley chuckled happily as he looked on from upstairs. "Looks like Cherry knows a lot.""Indeed." Larry raised his eyebrows. Cherry became aware of Nelly's matters after being back home for less than a fortnight.Most people did not know about this, including the men who were called out. How did she know about this, then?Thus…"Am I wrong again? Sorry, but I really have no idea who you truly like, Sis." Cherry pouted and lowered her voice as she s

    Cherry showed no sign of stopping and walked past him.Larry pursed his lips and did not yell at her. The calmer she was, the more suspicious he felt toward her.He was not anxious as he had already located his target. If she was indeed the same woman from five years ago and he behaved hastily, she might flee again.Therefore, he decided to change his approach this time. He heard that boiling a frog slowly in warm water was a good idea.In the hall, Nelly saw Stanley. Immediately, she got excited and, with an enthusiastic smile, she approached him. “Sir, you're here, I…”She put on what she believed was her most beautiful smile and spoke in her most delicate voice. With her qualities, she assumed he would consider her.“You're blocking my way.” Stanley lifted his head and glanced at her as though he was looking at a pile of trash.The crowd directed their gaze towards him when he made an abrupt appearance. Some people also felt envious when Nelly approached him.When Stanley made that

    "That's right. Sis asked Grandpa to bring her home as soon as she recovered. She claimed to still be in love with Hardy and begged Grandpa to pull a few strings so that they could get married. However, Grandpa was reluctant, hence he threw this banquet for Sis in the hope that she would find a more suitable marriage candidate. Yet, from the looks of it, Sis only has eyes for Hardy, since she hasn't interacted with other people in the banquet apart from him." An idea rose in Nelly's mind as she seemed to figure out something from what Stanley said earlier. She then proceeded to fabricate a web of lies while keeping a straight face. "It's evident that Sis has truly invested her heart in Hardy. Not long ago, we were caught in a misunderstanding involving him and Sis is still angry with me even until now." Nelly pursed her lips slightly, her face a pinched mask of grievance. It was obvious to Stanley, who was the chief of police, that Nelly was feeding him false information. Besides, he

    “I don't like women who are too pretty,” Larry replied straightforwardly without hesitation. As if troubled by a profound thought, his gaze lingered on her face intentionally as he spoke.“There are also plenty of them who are wise, elegant, and prescient.” Cherry persuaded herself to calm down. There was no need for her to get infuriated with an insignificant person.She was certain she could convince him with some smooth talk.“I don't like women who are overly smart either.” His eyes remained on hers as the words rolled off his tongue naturally.Slightly startled, Cherry managed to regain her composure and kept that grin glued on her face, although it was starting to look a little awkward and freaky.To hell with him. Was he beating around the bush to indicate she was hideous and slow-witted? She could brush off the fact that he had called her names, but did he have to appear so smug as if he was certain his desire would come true?Had she accidentally dug out his ancestral tomb or

    Originally, Larry had temporarily forgotten about this hurdle. After all, Cherry had promised to remove her disguise in front of him.However, her disguise could not be removed at that moment, and Larry could not see what he wanted to see. Since that matter was brought up again, he wanted to kill someone.He really wanted to kill Bovi at that moment.However, he also hated Cherry. He hated that she was without her disguise when she was with Bovi. She was as beautiful as a goddess. Yet, when she saw him, she put her disguise back on and pretended that it was her original appearance, afraid that he would see her true appearance and be less Interested in her.Why did he have to be treated so unfairly? He was her husband. He was a man worthy of his name.Did she figure it out?“Yes,” Seeing that he asked, Cherry answered truthfully. She had indeed put on a disguise after seeing him.“Cherry, you're really something. Why? He can see your true appearance, but I can't? Hmm?” Larry was fumin

    When Larry saw the worry on her face, his chest tightened a little. Of course, he knew that she worried about her senior, not him. To be exact, she was worried that he would harm Bovi.This damned woman, did she forget who her husband was?It was him, he was her husband, her man.However, she was worried about another man in front of him!“I knew about Bovi a long time ago.” Seeing her expression, Larry felt stifled and aggrieved, so he deliberately added, “I know everything, including everything about him in Country M. ”Actually, Larry was not wrong. During this period of time, he had indeed ordered people to investigate many things about Bovi in Country M.Of course this also included Cherry.“To be honest, Bovi really got in my way.” Larry knew what Cherry was worried about, so he deliberately added this sentence, making it ambiguous.“So?” Cherry quietly sighed and looked at him. Although there was not much of a change in her expression, there were still fluctuations in her voice

    As he spoke, his lips suddenly pressed against the back of her neck. His teeth opened slightly, and he bit her skin bit by bit. At this moment, he really wanted to bite her to death.In her heart, was Bovi that important?They had been married for so long, so why was he not in Bovi's position in her heart?Feeling that he was biting the back of her neck, Cherry suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly thought of those vampires on TV shows.Regarding his question, she had been at war with herself for a very long time. In fact, she still did not have a clear answer. However, she felt that if she did not give him a satisfactory answer now, he might really bite her to death, then, he would suck her blood dry like a vampire.When she felt his teeth touching her skin again, she quickly said, “No, you're important. You're most important. ”Larry suddenly stopped moving and paused for a few seconds. Then, he quickly sat up straight and looked straight at him. He said in a deep voice,

    Bovi quickly drove away.Larry saw Bovi's car stop. Without any hesitation, he quickly opened the taxi door and stepped out with his long legs while the taxi was still moving.Fortunately, the taxi driver saw the car in front stop and slowed down as well.However, it was still very dangerous.The driver was so frightened that his heart was pounding. Did this person want to lose his life?Who was he chasing so desperately?When Larry got out of the car, he saw that Cherry had already gotten off. Larry's eyes narrowed quickly, and with a few steps, he stood in front of her.At that point, Bovi had already driven far away.The taxi driver parked right behind Larry because Larry had not given him the money for the ride, and the driver did not dare to ask for it.From the driver's point of view, he only saw a woman standing in front of Larry. The corners of the driver's lips twitched slightly.No wonder he chased her so desperately. It seemed like he was catching a woman.Just as Cherry ha

    Jerry was about to call when he stopped. Then, he found another phone number and used that number.He originally thought that checking a car on a surveillance camera was a simple matter because there were surveillance cameras on many roads in this City. The car left Garnings Mall, which was the most bustling place with many surveillance cameras.However, Jerry checked all the roads ten miles away from the mall, but he did not find that car.He would not doubt Larry's words, but he really did not find it.Instead, he saw Stanley's car leaving the mall, heading east, wandering on the road…Jerry did not know what had happened, but he felt that it was not a coincidence that Stanley's car had appeared there.“Larry, we did not find the car you mentioned.” Jerry quickly called Larry because he felt that this matter was very important to Larry, so he was afraid that he would delay Larry's matters.“Mm, I got it,” Larry replied in a low voice and did not say much. If Jerry could not find it,

    Bovi was a smart person, and he understood Cherry. He knew that under such circumstances, any more words from him would only make her suspicious.He indeed wanted to deliberately separate her from Larry, but he did not want her to notice it.“Alright, then I'll bring the children back first. You should go back as soon as possible.” Bovi forced himself to say something that went against his wishes.“Thank you, Senior. ” The corners of Cherry's lips curled up slightly as he smiled faintly. The children were brought up in Country M. They had a big family there and everyone else was like family. Therefore, she was not worried about them going back.In the past, when she had a mission, everyone would take care of the children.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his phone. His slightly narrowed eyes quickly revealed a strange look before the corners of his lips slowly curled up.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his ph

    “I know. Larry just asked you to send the location, right? If that happens, we will likely be exposed. Therefore, I hope you can help us next.” Bovi's tone was full of determination, he sounded very amiable.“What do you mean? How can I help you?” Stanley's brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a hint of doubt in his expression.“You can send the location over to Larry, but after that, you need to walk in the opposite direction of where we're heading to. Just keep walking.” Bovi's expression looked even more gentle, and his words were also very casual.As he spoke, he returned the phone to Stanley. “What? You mean you want me to lie to Larry? Impossible, absolutely impossible.” When Stanley heard his words, he immediately exploded. He shook his head and refused without thinking.Stanley was not stupid, so he naturally understood Bovi's meaning. He couldn't lie to Larry.The last time at the police station, he had no choice but to let that woman leave because Larry still

    Moreover, their principal kept nodding and saying yes. It had to be true.“Let's go.” He looked at Cherry, still smiling gently.“Okay,” Cherry replied softly. She originally thought that her senior's method would be very tough, but the result was not bad. It could be considered robbing the poor to give to the rich.Cherry knew that since her senior would appear, he would definitely know what was going on. Therefore, she did not need to investigate further and could directly ask her senior.“Hubby, why do you have to do this? Why do we have to listen to him?” The fat woman came back to her senses and felt her heart ache. Her kindergarten no longer belonged to them, yet they still had to pay for it?Was this even logical?“Shut up. I'll be thankful if my son and I can save our lives today.” The man slapped her hard again.Just as Cherry carried Tania out of the office, Bovi took her from Cherry's arms.Cherry was stunned, but she did not say anything. Instead, she reached out to hold Z

    When Cherry said that she was going to meet him, Larry clearly heard that she had already gotten out of the car. Logically speaking, she should have arrived a long time ago, so why was she still nowhere to be seen?He knew that she never wanted to reveal the fact that they were married, so if she wanted to look for him, she had to come through his private elevator.Larry walked out of the office and went straight to the private elevator. He saw that the private elevator was still parked on his floor.He then checked all the surveillance videos, but he still did not see Cherry's shadow.He narrowed his eyes and a hint of confusion was on his face. Where did she go?Could she be shopping in the mall below? It was said that women loved shopping in malls.However, after being married to her for so long, he did not seem to have seen her shopping in the mall, nor did he see her buy anything.No, last time, she had bought him a wallet, which was the one he was using now.
