This was Hannah's fatal blow to Chuck!"Chuck Cole…" Hannah gritted her teeth. "Serves you right! You played with my feelings, cheated my money away, and took my daughter! Hah, the heavens won't let you off easy. You won't have any heirs!"You… kicked me just now. The baby won't make it! You killed your own child. It's you!"Chuck growled and lifted his pistol.When he was about to shoot, the police siren echoed from nearby, and a bullet shot through his wrist. He yelped in pain and fell to the ground with blood splattering.Hannah struggled to get up and staggered a few steps away, but she slipped and fell into the rapid river…The chaos did not last long as the police arrived soon to take control of it.Zephyr left with Noah, escorted by bodyguards.Noah wore a blank face on the way back.Zephyr was a little worried and called out "Uncle Noah" softly, but it was like Noah was possessed. His eyes stared straight with a dazed look, and his mouth was slightly agape, his body tw
Ava was so thrilled that she lost her voice, and her hand holding the phone shook.She had prepared a gown a long time ago. It was expensive since it was a limited edition designer one, so she had been holding back from wearing it.She finally had a use for it now!The new film press conference was held as scheduled the next day.Before Ava went out, she felt that the apartment had been eerily quiet recently. Chuck had not come to her, and her family servant and chauffeur were gone too.She was the only one left in the spacious apartment. It felt as if she was abandoned on a deserted island.Ava walked out of the door and took a deep breath. People were still walking on the streets, and everything went on as usual. The world did not abandon her.Perhaps, she was only abandoned by Chuck… She gnashed her teeth. As expected, men were not reliable!It was okay, though, as he had already invested the money. She was going to be the female lead of the movie and would shine and succeed
Ava dashed over like she had lost her mind before Millie could finish.Millie reacted in time and took two steps back, so Ava did not manage to hit her but fell down and screamed hysterically.The reporters were quick to capture the scene, and the cameras' flashes flickered instantly.Trinity saw that it was time and shot her assistant a look. The screen showed Prestige Agency's accounts, where the 15,000,000 Eropah dollars from Chuck came from, and news about Chuck being caught."I'd also like to announce something." Trinity was calm and authoritative. "There've been rumors previously saying that Ms. Baker's joining the production as the female lead with the investment funds she's bringing in. I can clarify this now…"Ms. Ava Baker did join with the funds, but the amount, 15,000,000 Eropah dollars, is actually for money laundering for criminals!"I, Trinity Lulham, as a filmmaker with conscience, will hand all illegal funds to the police and work with them the best I can!"Ava
“Just… Just what if!" Cordelia looked at him. "What if you met one?"Zephyr pressed his lips together.Nothing could ever handle "what-ifs".Once a woman was engrossed with hypothetical questions, she would play a full-fledged soap opera in her mind. Not even Trinity would dare direct her film that way. Yet, once the man failed to counter the "what-if", the consequences would be grave.Zephyr chuckled. He might be even more experienced than Nicholas in terms of traps and loaded questions now.This was nothing to him! He cleared his throat and asked pointedly, "Oh, if I met one? Okay, where did we meet?""Um…" Cordelia blinked her big eyes. "Just anywhere.""How could your husband be just anywhere?""Then… you met on the streets!""Your husband drives when he's out. He doesn't roam the streets."Cordelia grinned. "Then you two got in an accident!"She did not realize that she had already fallen into the man's trap and was drifting farther away from the main topic.Zephyr hel
One of them was there to accompany Cordelia for her delivery, while the other one was there to study Noah's condition."Dad, how is it?" Cordelia asked in worry.Rowan shook his head lightly with a grim expression. Zephyr's heart sank."I can do my best to treat him." Rowan looked at them. "But don't have too much hope. It's not something treatable in a short time, and just medicine isn't enough. Rehab training is required too.""Mm." Zephyr nodded. "Thanks, dad."Xyla sighed and said, "Actually, your mom came to me before when Noah had just fallen from the horse. My dad was the one who treated him then, and my grandpa joined. They could only ensure that his condition wouldn't worsen. It might not be easy for him to recover to being fully abled.""It's great that it didn't worsen." Rowan patted her shoulder. "A brain injury remains a challenge in the medical field to this day."Zephyr hung his head in silence. He was sad, but when thinking about it from another perspective, his
Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. She turned around and leaned in Zephyr's embrace softly. He would always give her a sense of security.She slept soundly that night. When she woke up the next day, she realized Zephyr was no longer next to her.However, the fragrance of toasted bread came from downstairs.With her huge belly, she went to check it out. Zephyr was busy working in the kitchen. The domestic staff stood quietly, watching him create chaos in the kitchen."Wifey, you're up?" Zephyr stretched his neck to smile at her.Cordelia suddenly recalled the time when he took the initiative to cook for her when she took leave due to menstrual cramps back in Jangasas. In the end… Not only did he turn the kitchen upside down, but his breakfast was also a burnt egg and oat porridge with very little oat in it.She chuckled and walked over to look.It was much better now. Although the kitchen was messy, he had improved his cooking skills.He made her a rainbow-like breakfast. The
Aurelia was sitting in the police station.There were cameras everywhere in the small room. She knew numerous eyes were watching everything she was doing behind the cameras. Two police officers were standing in front of her. Their expressionless faces were cold, and they stared at her like ice sculptures.She was terrified and did not know what would happen to her. However, she tried her best not to show it. She would lose hope as soon as that happened."Sunny?" One of the local police officers had asked her this question many times. "What's your family name?"Aurelia remained silent. She had been like that since she came in, not uttering a single word."Do you not understand what we're saying?" The other police officer's eyes were fierce. "Do you need an interpreter?"Aurelia sat up straight with her head low. Her curled eyelashes shook slightly.The officers asked all of the questions again like a routine."How did you get to Chaiseland?"What's your usual source of income?
Will was stunned. He said. "I'm afraid you won't see her until she's chased out of the country."Neil shouted emotionally, "Why!?""According to the law, after being questioned, she'll be sent to the border by the authorities. They'll have to watch her leave. And the process is very strict, so you won't be able to see her."Neil's face paled. He fell silent.A moment later, Will said while looking at him, "Mr. Harris, the questioning period usually won't go past five days… So, perhaps you can see her from far away at the police station's door on the last day."Neil was like a deflated balloon. He went back to the couch.Will left the villa.Cordelia and Zephyr sat next to Neil on each side. Just when they were going to talk to him, he suddenly stood up again.They were shocked.He then ran out as if he had gone mad."Hey…" Cordelia yelled at him from behind, but Zephyr pulled her."Let him be. Don't stop him.""Do you know where he's going?""To the police station, of cours
