"Go serve Madam to get clean up and change her clothes," he ordered.The two maids answered simultaneously, "Yes, Master."Ryan then saw Madeline glaring at him before turning around.The two maids strolled to Madeline and were friendly when helping her change into a new set of clothes. They helped her get clean up as well.Madeline wanted to reject but failed to do so. She knew it was because she had been injected with two doses of that stuff that it was now affecting her.After Ryan left the room, a young lady quickly ran over to him with a bashful look that was filled with anticipation. "Rye, I’m guessing you have some time to spare right now, right? Can we talk?"Ryan sneered at the lady in front of him and made his way downstairs lazily.He looked at the news that popped out on his phone carefreely. He read that the police in Glendale and Interpol were searching for his whereabouts.However, he would not let them get him so easily.Ryan tossed his phone aside and raised h
Ryan's heart was pumping hard when he saw the maid being all anxious.He was worried that something might have happened to Madeline. He shoved Naomi's hand away and sprinted to the bedroom.However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, there was a loud bang and a vase was suddenly smashed beside his leg.Slivers of the broken vase pieces almost had slit his face, but Ryan did not dodge.He stepped right on the pieces of the broken vase and walked into the room.Madeline was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The dishes served by the maids were all scattered on the floor while fresh blood was dripping down beside Madeline's leg. The blood came from her finger.Nevertheless, she did not move an inch and kept standing under the blazing sunlight of summer like a noble statue."Get out," Ryan ordered both the maids.Despite him blurting out icy cold comments, he had a warm expression on her face. It was rather contradicting.The maids did not delay any further and quickly ran o
Madeline raised her gaze when she heard Ryan's comment and saw the gleam in his sparkling eyes that were expressing his urge to conquer her.'He’s really stubborn.'Suddenly, Ryan grabbed Madeline's finger that was bleeding.She tried to pull back, not wanting Ryan to grasp her hand too tightly. He then lowered his head and sealed his lips over her injury that was still bleeding, as if he was trying to tend to her injury."What are you doing?" Madeline was feeling restless as she summoned her remaining strength to push Ryan aside.Ryan gently licked his lip that had bloodstain. The taste of the fresh blood from her fingertip placed a satisfactory smile on his fair face, making him look almost devilish.Madeline had never seen such a smile and it gave her chills throughout her body.Ryan’s smile got wider when he noticed the fear in her eyes."I thought that you're fearless, but it turns out there are times when you're afraid as well." He inched closer to her, and each step that
After Ryan left, Madeline was left alone in the room.The maids came in once again and delivered the first aid kit and a splendid meal of western cuisine.Madeline looked at her finger which was still bleeding. She knew that she possessed a rare blood group and did not want to continue bleeding."Let me help you, Madam." The young maid was very friendly and came over politely, hoping to offer Madeline a helping hand.Madeline realized she had acted rashly earlier after recalling the incident. She should remain calm as that was the only way to escape from Ryan’s grasp."Alright." Madeline nodded. "Sorry for troubling you with this."The maid happily went ahead and helped Madeline dress her wound after noticing that Madeline was not strongly resisting like earlier.With utmost respect, she squatted beside Madeline and took out the alcohol and cotton swab to clean the wound.Madeline stared at the maid, who was cleaning her wound with a serious look on her face, and asked with a c
"I've already injected her twice, but the effect doesn't seem to be as wonderful as what you said," Ryan said in a cold tone. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the outcome.Adam took his sweet time and said, "The effect of this reagent varies between individuals. If Madeline has a very firm determination, then it might cause the reagent to not perform to its full potential."He paused for a moment before continuing with confidence, "But no matter what, we'll still be able to achieve our ultimate goal.”Ryan raised his brows, his eyes no longer giving off a soothing vibe. Instead, it was replaced by a gleam of evil."Oh yeah, I got the news. Jeremy's in Y Country," Adam said.Ryan was not surprised. "I knew he’d come to Y Country. It was just a matter of time. But he'll never be able to find this place.”His expression became stony. He put down the reagent and gradually got up. Even his orbs were looking stony as well."The number one young master of Glendale... I want to
'It seems like Ryan is serious about it.'Madeline looked at the confident man with a puzzled look.However, Madeline did not know anyone in Y Country. How would it be possible that she would regret it if she did not meet with those two people?"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Ryan noticed Madeline was doubting him. Ryan suddenly placed his hand into his pocket and took out an item. "Do you still remember what this is?"Madeline glanced over at the item and saw that there was a jade bracelet in Ryan's hands. Her expression changed for the worst.She went up to Ryan and took the bracelet.Touching the cold bracelet made her feel as if she could suddenly smell a certain someone's scent."Mom…"Madeline quickly snapped out of it and looked at the words carved on the bracelet, absent-minded. She confirmed that it was Eloise's bracelet!It was Sean's wedding gift to Elosie during their marriage. Hence, for so many years, Eloise never took off the bracelet from her hand.Madeline h
Once again, Madeline felt lethargic, but she tried her best to open her eyes.If she had known that this reagent would wipe off her memories, she would not have behaved tamely like what she did earlier.'But, Dad, Mom…'Sean and Eloise's faces were reflected in Madeline's mind. She had no idea whether Ryan was lying to her or not, but she knew she needed to give it a shot.'But Jeremy, how could I forget about you?'No, I'll never let myself forget you. Never…'In the end, Madeline still passed out. Ryan carried her to the bed and gently covered her with a blanket."How many more doses needed before we are able to wipe off her memories?" Ryan asked Adam."It all depends on her determination."Ryan was not satisfied with Adam's answer, but he did not have any other options.Ryan stepped out of the room and saw Naomi standing by the doorway. His emotionless, murderous gaze was fixed on her."I shot the previous lady who kept pestering and giving Madeline trouble to death. Do y
Madeline's heart started racing after she heard Ryan's words.The two people in her mind were her parents."Go change your clothes. I'll wait for you downstairs." Ryan was all serious and did not seem to be fooling around.After Ryan exited the room, Madeline quickly locked the door and changed into another set of clothes before rushing downstairs.After being brought to this place by Ryan, she had never once left the room.It was only now she realized that the house was elegantly decorated.'They say this is a holiday villa. But in this whole world, how many villas are this expensive and meticulously decorated?'What puzzled Madeline the most was ever since Naomi's appearance that day, she had never seen her again.Of course, she would not be a busybody and ask Ryan about her.Ryan had also changed his clothes. He wore a suit with a necktie, making him look elegant.Madeline followed him to the courtyard.The current weather of Y Country was like autumn in Glendale. The sun
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
