Larry raised his eyebrows slightly. The room smelled faintly of cigarettes and although it was not obvious, it proved that someone was here earlier. Frank had departed for another Country a month ago.

He recalled a woman jumping into his room from the balcony of Frank’s room last night. With that behavior, she must have been drugged.

His cold gaze swept across the room rapidly. Everything looked normal but there was something amiss upon closer inspection. Then, a hint of danger gleamed in his eyes.

“Is Frank back?” As the Chief of police, Stanley had strong observation skills. “No, it isn’t Frank.”

“A woman’s cigarette!” The highly observant Stanley soon discovered a cigarette butt beneath a chair in the lounge. "Larry, could the woman have entered Frank’s room? If it’s true, her purpose could be…”

Larry did not answer him as he was already checking the CCTV footage.

Based on The Fly’s info, he keyed in the time and location which brought up that area’s footage.

In the footage, Henry’

    “How did you know?” Stanley stared at Helen intently with his eyes bright.“When we were on the third floor, she approached the man and he initially ignored her. At that time, I was near them and despite the loud music, I could vaguely hear her said something about Henry's family, but I couldn’t hear what she said after that. However, the man’s behavior changed immediately before he grabbed hold of her wrist and asked her who she was. He was rather scary at that time.”Larry and Stanley did not speak for a while.Helen heaved a quiet sigh of relief. Due to the fear within her, she spoke faster, “That woman seemed like she was not afraid as she just remained silent. Then, the man gave in and agreed to help her. After that…”Helen looked at Larry, who was still wearing his mask. “You should understand what happened next, Sir.”“Earlier, when she ran towards me with her covered in blood, I was scared silly. I was dragged into the elevator by her and she threatened me with my darkest secr

    At the same time, Henry’s phone rang.He flinched for a second as if he was jolted awake. Unable to react in time, his expression froze.“Hello, mom.” He sighed in relief. If not for the call, he would have given himself away. That fellow was diabolical to trick him this way.Under such circumstances, that if the person interrogating him had received a call and mentioned Cherry without warning, Henry would still show some hint of uneasiness, no matter how well-prepared he was.He believed that that person was observing him from a hidden place right now. Knowing how powerful that person was, the uneasiness that had almost shown itself would have been noticed.It was too dangerous.“Nana, where are you? Today is your brother’s engagement and I still don’t see your brother’s friends. He didn’t answer my call either. Do you know where he is?”“I know, letting your brother marry Cherry is extremely unfair for him. I, too, don’t want to let him marry that ugly, stupid and useless woman,” th

    “Is your brother here?” Cherry raised her eyebrows. Her tone was nonchalant yet direct.“You knew all along that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was completely stunned and stared at her in disbelief. How was this possible? His elder brother never objected. He always thought that his elder brother was very committed to the family.How could Cherry be so sure that his elder brother will not be here today?!Cherry smiled without saying a word. With Nelly present, she knew that today's engagement will not go on successfully. This was also the reason why she did not protest all these while.Why should she take matters into her own hands when somebody else could help her solve her problems? It was not worth the trouble since it was both physically and mentally exhausting.“Are you certain that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was unconvinced.“He'll definitely be present but the engagement won't take place.” Cherry had to tolerate Henry's inquisitive nature but who was it that

    “Hardy, you're finally here!” His mother heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him appear. “Thank God, you've finally arrived. We have been waiting for you for so long and were worried sick. Why didn't you call us if you had an emergency?”“Edward, he managed to come here. Naturally, he understands that nothing is more important than today's engagement. The ceremony can begin now.” She kept defending Hardy as she spoke. Edward's expression began to soften.His wife followed behind Hardy and lowered her head. She walked slowly from the moment she entered the hotel and kept a distance from him. Everybody's gaze fell on Hardy at that moment and only a few people had noticed his mother.No one thought much about the reason behind Hardy's delay in arrival.“Huh, he actually came. Honestly, I think it's understandable if he didn't show up due to Cherry's qualities.” Stanley quipped from the third floor and raised his eyebrows. “As a woman, it's fine if you're stupid as long as you're good-l

    Cherry blinked and appeared to be taken aback. She did not seem to understand what Hardy meant and did not show any reaction."What are you talking about?" Hardy's mum was flustered. "Today's the day of your engagement with her. Don't fool around."Meanwhile, Edward's face darkened which made him look terrifying."Cherry, you don't actually like me and the person that I like isn't you." Although his plan had been foiled, Hardy still said what he meant."The one whom I like is Nelly and she is the one I wish to marry." As soon as Hardy said that, he knew there was no turning back. As a matter of fact, he did not want to turn back.Nelly looked shocked and lifted her head at once. She looked at Hardy with fear and pain. "No, no, no…"She shook her head violently and shuddered as she stepped back slowly. Her reactions were perfect."You… You want to marry Nelly?" His mother was dumbfounded."Yes," Hardy replied with determination and without a moment's hesitation.Her gaze shifted. This

    Nelly eyed the brutish man knowingly. She originally planned to lead Cherry into making false remarks. At least Grandpa would not be so hell-bent on maintaining the family's reputation if that happened.The matter would eventually be left aside and Cherry's dignity would forever be tarnished.However, Nelly never expected her grandfather to call the police."Don't… Don't call the police! I made a mistake earlier. I have nothing to do with Miss Cherry and I don't know her. My mistake, my mistake." The man immediately understood Nelly's look and laughed while he attempted to flee.The whole incident was arranged by Nelly. She wanted to exploit Cherry's stupidity and incapability of defending herself.She also wanted to make up a piece of evidence but Cherry escaped in the end. The brutish man took two steps back before being blocked by the hotel's security guard."It was a misunderstanding, I mean it! I mistook her for someone else. The woman I was talking about isn't this but she shar

    “She went to Bewitching Moon Beauty Parlor at 8.10 and left at 11.43. I've been to Bewitching Moon, questioned the employees and investigated the CCTV footage. No problem.” However, what The Fly said next contradicted with a particular person's expectations.Still, Larry was aware of The Fly's capabilities. The Fly would not make a mistake.Last night, the woman jumped into his room at around nine, and from nine to one, they were…“I say that can't be Cherry” Stanley stood near him and overheard The Fly's words clearly. “Larry, I think there's no point wasting time on Cherry.”“I've found out all the women whom Henry knows. Cherry and Henry have met once, which was the time when both families were discussing Hardy and Cherry's marriage. However, Henry left after five minutes and that was the only time they met each other. From that day onwards, there was no contact between Cherry and the Max family. On the other hand, Hardy visited her family several times, but he was looking for Nell

    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

    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.
