"Is it fake? " She muttered to herself, but in the next second, she narrowed her eyes at Liana with lethal intent and spat. "You bitch, how dare you sabotage our relationship, I will kill you! " Betina's mother picked up the knife from the ground and ran towards Liana, and with her sudden movement made everyone surprised, even the bodyguards were taken by surprise and forgot to protect Liana... However, when the knife came towards her, Liana didn't move or blink as if she expected it. When the knife came close to Liana's face, Mr. Adams and Betina became more and more excited, after all, if Mrs. Adams killed Liana, he could put all the blame on her and argue for a more lenient punishment for his misdemeanor, while Betina would have access to Edward without Liana standing in his way. Suddenly, a strong arm came out to grab her wrist and the knife stopped in midair. The woman's arm was immobilized by Edward, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't move, and only then, the bodygu
"I didn't do such a thing! " Betina retorted fiercely. "I did not harm Liana, much less conspire for her life. I did no such thing. So far, she has failed to present the evidence that I did this, she is accusing me on purpose! Where is the evidence? "Her word is the only evidence I need. ' Edward replied coldly. What? Betina looked at him with an inexplicable expression, she didn't expect Edward to have such faith in Liana, and to believe her unconditionally, even if it was a murder charge against her! He really believed in her like that, and even helped Liana deal with the Adams family, completely disregarding their families' previous ties. Envy grew inside Betina as her crocodile tears dried. "Do you believe everything she says? "Exactly, I believe it! " Edward replied without hesitation, his answer was so definitive that Betina felt that even if Liana told him to kill himself, he would. Betina could feel her world imploding. Earlier, when her parents had been arrested, she h
The few physically strong bodyguards could hardly contain her, they had never seen such a crazy woman before. The madness in her eyes was like a whirlpool, endless and deep. She was acting like a person who had completely lost her mind. When Edward and Liana looked at her, disbelief and shock were clearly written on their faces. "She's crazy!" Liana spoke naturally, and Edward was speechless, he hadn't realized what a dangerous person Betina was, yet that's when his concern for Betina ended, because he was more concerned about someone else. "And you, how are you? Are you hurt? "He asked hurriedly as he checked her body for injuries. " I am fine! " She answered calmly, and after two minutes added. "And you? "This was the first time Liana had truly shown concern for him, and Edward's lips curved into a wicked smile. " I'm fine, thank you! " Edward's lips curved into a wicked smile. "That's nice! " Liana stood up and dragged her injured leg as she staggered toward Betina, and Edwa
It has been almost two weeks since Liana fell asleep and didn't wake up again, and this caused Edward not to leave her side. "Liana!"Edward woke up from his nightmare, breaking into a cold sweat, he looked around a little confused and realized that he had fallen asleep in his office. It was six in the morning. Frustration drove him to violently sweep the papers on the desk, and the papers fluttered around the room like snow. Edward couldn't get back to sleep, so he walked to the other White family mansion, and climbed the stairs to stand in front of a room. The nurse on duty saw him and came over to ask. "Mr. White, why are you here so early? Is there something I can help you with?" "How has she been doing lately? "He asked casually, and the nurse knew who he meant and answered truthfully. " Miss Legrand has been fully cooperative, and does everything we ask. " Edward nodded and opened the door. The face that faced him was definitely Liana's, but Edward could not recognize her
Edward ignored him after he got the promise from Dr Ramos and returned to care for the weakened Liana, and bent down and whispered gently. "How are you feeling? Are you better? "Liana shook her head slowly and gasped. "I'm fine..." "Who did all this? " Edward asked after a moment's pause. Seeing Liana like this broke his heart. He wished he could take her in a hug, to give her some physical comfort, but he knew he couldn't... because that would be crossing the line. He could care about her from afar, and he would need to be satisfied with that for now. "I have no idea! " Liana shook her head again. "Any useful information?" "Don't let me forget the things that happened to me, I must make them pay. "Liana looked at him and said faintly, and with that she fell back into darkness. After that she had a few episodes where she woke up, but was never lucid. Liana's health condition was also jumping all over the place, like an old machine that could break down at any moment. At Dr Ramos'
A gloved hand clasped Liana's chin, and after some more checking, the man was sure that Liana was indeed unconscious. Not only that, her condition was deteriorating, and her breathing was weak. "That's what you get for coming against me. However, after some deliberation, I have decided that it is better that you die. Letting you live might lead to some unnecessary complications. " The man smiled indulgently. The man took a syringe full of lethal poison, and with one dose, she would die peacefully and quietly, receiving permanent solace from all the pain and suffering. "This is my last kindness to you. " Said the man gently as his eyes glittered with bloodlust, and the syringe in his hand went straight to the blood vessel in Liana's arm, and at that moment, Liana opened her eyes! Their eyes met and the man froze in his movement, of course, he didn't expect her to wake up at a moment like this. To be fair, Liana also didn't expect that the first thing that would reach her ears whe
"My poor sister, I must take good care of her when she wakes up later!" Jack promised with determination. "Don't worry, I'm taking care of her! " Edward looked at him and added softly, he wanted to take on the full responsibility of caring for Liana, he didn't want to share that responsibility with anyone else. "How can that be enough? Besides, leaving my sister alone in your hands is the reason I'm worried!" "What do you mean? "Edward asked with a raised eyebrow. Why would my actions be of concern to anyone? "Because who knows what kind of intentions you harbor towards my sister?I'm telling you, I won't let you hurt my sister again, and she won't be so easily influenced by your actions. After all, she is such a wonderful woman; no man is good enough for her." "Jack's words were mixed with pride. In his eyes, his sister was the most wonderful woman who ever lived." "You are right, your sister is truly the most wonderful woman you have! " Edward replied with a smile, and Jack look
The nurse accompanying Liana, felt that she had changed, the previous Liana was someone incredibly normal, although a bit weak. However, the previous Liana had a queenly presence, her words drew you in and challenged you to challenge her. "Mr. White was here earlier, but had to leave because of a phone call, but for the past few days, he has spent all his time here, waiting for you to wake up." "Can you help me get a change of clothes ready, I'd like to take a shower. " Liana nodded before adding. "All right... "The nurse moved to get ready, but she returned after some hesitation. "Miss Legrand, you just woke up, so you should delay your bath until you regain more energy." "Don't worry, I'm fine, "Liana said before returning to the bathroom. She realized that there were probably people coming to give her a daily scrub, but she still wanted to reward herself with a nice bath. After all, this was her own body and she had gained a new appreciation for it. After the bath, Liana put on
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t
"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.
At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo
"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y
"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
