"What ... what did you say ‽", Betina was shaking with anger, this was the first time Betina had been so seriously scolded in her life, and on top of that, it was in front of so many people. Betina may have an intriguing mind, but she was a thin-skinned woman, the result of her spoiled life.

"Didn't you hear me? Get lost!", Jack spoke again.

"Come on, she's not worth our time!", Liana spoke as she pulled Jack back into Peter's room, and she didn't even look at Betina as she spoke this, she simply acted as if the other woman wasn't even there.

Betina almost bit her lip at the penetrating looks from the nurses and doctors and the disguised smiles.

"Liana, you are the one not worth Edward's time. I'm going to marry him soon and you'll never be able to top me in your life!", Suppressing her anger, she spoke to Liana's back, and after that, she bent down to pick up her credit card and leave.

There was malice and venom rolling in her eyes, and if she could, she would cut Liana to pieces

    The woman was still as proud as he remembered. He had not met a prouder woman in his life, and no matter what she had done wrong, she would not apologize or express remorse. Even at the stage she was at, she still clung to this stubborn pride of hers, and he can't help but wonder, will she ever change? While Edward was lost in these thoughts, someone knocked on his office door. "You can come in!", He spoke coming back to reality, and when he looked at the door, it was Tony who had returned. "Why are you back so early?" "Miss Adams took the first car that came along and left, I'm sorry President for not sending her home personally!", Tony spoke with an expression on his face that was hard to read. "What? Was she upset?", Edward asked curiously, and Tony just nodded. "I don't know exactly what happened, but based on what she said, it sounds like Liana and her family bullied her," Tony replied, and Edward just took a deep breath. "Okay, thanks!", Edward whispered. "If ther

    "Jack, calm down, there's no use getting nervous!", Liana spoke trying to calm her brother," Let's first see what Betina has on her computer, okay?" "All right, sis, whatever you want!", He answered more excited, and started to dig through the girl's computer and noticed that it was full of pictures, mainly selfies, and there were also some pictures that she took with Edward, but in all of them, he had the same expression, boredom, "From these pictures, I can really see that Edward doesn't love nor is in love with her. ", He spoke looking at Liana who shrugged. "Who does he love, or who is in love, what does it have to do with me?", She asked without showing any reaction, after all, she already knew that Edward was not in love with Betina, the man had a heart of stone and there was probably no woman in the world that would make him fall in love. Jack just watched his sister's smile disappear at the mention of Edward's name, then tried to change the subject so that she wouldn't kee

    During this time she had been at her uncle's side, she had not had any free time or spare moments so that she could take care of herself and her appearance, and Jack had felt the same way about his sister, still remembering the way Betina and the others had spoken about her. "Lilih, my father's health has improved a lot, and I believe I can take care of him by myself, so why don't you go to the store and buy some new clothes and even, buy whatever you want with the money left in my account, and please don't be afraid to spend, I'm sure I'll earn something soon," He spoke trying to convince her to tidy up a bit, give her appearance a better life. "I think this can wait a little longer, what we need to focus on right now is where we are going to go after we leave here," she said staring at him. "Yes, you are right, we can no longer stay in that apartment, we need a new place to live. I'll find a nice place for us, so take a break," He suggested, but she denied it with her head. "

    "Come along, Anna!", Anika spoke, "Even you are rebelling against me now?" "Of course not, madam!", Anna had no choice but to call security, and after making the call, Anna still begged Anna to leave, "Lady Liana, please don't make trouble for the lady, and go away, security will be here soon!" Liana didn't answer, and just smiled at her, and then faced her stepmother, who didn't understand what Liana intended. "They better be here, I'm going to need their help to throw the intruder out!" she whispered. "Liana, who are you calling an intruder?", Anika asked angrily. "You know the answer!", She replied laughing, and Anika took a deep breath as she felt a bad feeling, but still, she didn't lose possession, and reminded herself that Liana was nobody and doomed to fail. What else could Liana do? The cheeky little girl may have some statements on her side, but she definitely doesn't have the money to back them up, and everything in the Legrand mansion belongs to Anika, so how can a

    Liana knew Anika would try this, and she deflected her grip, which caused the woman to slam into the bookcase, which almost fell over with the sudden force. Anika grimaced as she put her hand on her shoulder, and Liana slowly walked over to the two security guards. "In here is the certificate of ownership of this house that my father gave me. I hope you two will be my witnesses today and help me get back what is mine. My stepmother is cruel enough to threaten my life once, who knows what she will do when her strategy is unraveled?" The men felt honored by her respectful tone. The deference they had for Anika slowly changed to wariness. Prejudice is a frightening thing because, although Liana did not say clearly how Anika had threatened her life, they believed it must be through some morally ambiguous methods, since that is what a stepmother usually does. Anika was furious, but she also knew that she couldn't let Liana open that case, and as long as it remained closed, she still h

    "There's no need for that!", Liana replied calmly. "No need for what?", Anika frowned as she asked, until the sound of the patrol car siren was heard coming from outside. "There is no need to call the police because I called them for you!", Liana replied smiling, and Anika's face changed from smile to concern, a feeling of fear hit her, she really didn't expect Liana to call the police for her. Anika looked at Liana with such malice that it seemed she would be willing to devour her whole. After all, Anika knew that the certificate she had was fake, so of course she couldn't let the police in to make the identification. "Madam! The police are here! ", Anna's worried voice came from downstairs, so in a quick outburst, Anika tore the document she had in her hands. "What are you doing?", Liana spoke up. And the two guards acted on instinct and jumped to get the certificate booklet, but it was too late because Anika had already shoved the torn page with the incriminating details d

    Anika fez o possível para sair de cabeça erguida, mas ainda não conseguia aceitar o fato de ter perdido, e sob o olhar frio de Liana ela deixou a mansão e foi embora. A recuperação do imóvel foi apenas o primeiro passo de Liana, muito em breve ela devolveria tudo o que era seu por direito, e ela poderia ter certeza de que os juros seriam acumulados.

A luz do sol banhou seu físico escultural, formando uma visão atraente. Liana não tinha ideia de quanto tempo ele estava ali e o quanto ele tinha visto, mas naquele momento ela pôd

    "There, now you can talk," Liana spoke suddenly, and he was snapped out of his thoughts. "I wanted you to know that Dylan has received the best education possible over the past few years, and he rarely mentions about you," Edward began to speak. Liana lowered her head, shielding her face, she was still a human made of flesh and blood, and her heart clenched, but she blamed no one, not even her son for not asking about her, after all, divorce was one thing she wanted. It was she who voluntarily gave up her marriage and her son. "He's a very good boy, I thought your absence wouldn't bother him, but actually, he still cares about you," He continued speaking. "He what?", She asked in surprise. "He doesn't say it in exact words, but I can see it in his heart. ", Edward continued speaking. "Why are you telling me all this?", He asked. 'It will soon be Dylan's fourth birthday, and if you don't mind, I'd like you to come to his birthday party. I know we're divorced, but I'm not go

    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
