"The diamond was beautiful, so beautiful that it took his breath away. It may not have been the largest diamond in the world, but it was definitely the most perfect. It naturally attracted people's attention, and, most importantly, this kind of diamond would not normally appear in a jeweler's showcase! Such a gem would be displayed in private collections or national museums, and the moment the pink diamond was revealed, the status of the showcase was immediately elevated. Zimon may have created showcases in the past, but all of his previous pieces combined could not rival this pink diamond. His criticisms of this showcase instantly dissolved, and this was truly an unparalleled jewelry display. Everyone couldn't help but lean forward to take a closer look. The media flashes never stopped. The audible sighs from the crowd and the camera shutters clicking were like audible slaps to Kaya's face. She did her best not to appear affected, but the tightness in her lips belied her true feeli
The sudden attack of the document darkened Kaya's face even more; she didn't even look at the document that fell at her feet. "Liana, how dare you?" Kaya Veronezzi shouted angrily at Liana. "Do you know who I am now?" Liana smiled. After all, Kaya didn't say she didn't know who the host was. How did her memory suddenly come back now? It seemed like she was deliberately making things difficult for the host earlier. People's impression of Kaya Veronezzi diminished even further, and her face twisted with anger. Just as she was about to say something, Liana interrupted her. "I advise you to take a look at the document, or you might regret it." "CEO Veronezzi..." one of her lackeys picked up the document and was shocked as he examined it. "Quick, you have to look at this!" Kaya didn't want to, but unconsciously took a glance, and as she did, her face froze. She grabbed the document and looked at the pages in disbelief! "This is impossible..." Kaya muttered with difficulty. "What is i
"Sister, that was amazing!" Jack praised her incessantly. "Kaya was so angry, I thought her head was going to explode." "Miss Legrand, I don't think Kaya will let that happen. After all, the Veronezzi family is also a force to be reckoned with. You have to be careful," Johnson Bart chimed in with a smile. "I know, Mr. Johnson. Thank you for your help this time," Liana nodded. "No need to thank me, we are allies, aren't we?" Johnson Bart said with a smile, pleased to have chosen the right person to align with. This woman is truly impressive. Initially, when Liana approached him for a collaboration with the Johnson family, he was hesitant because he had little confidence in the White family without Edward. However, Liana managed to convince him with her brilliance and the proof of the diamond commission, and eventually, he chose to cooperate with her. More importantly, the Johnson family couldn't allow Zimon to grow any further. If Zimon had truly swallowed up the White family, the
Sergio approached Liana and said passionately:"Miss Legrand, if this is another success, you will have given another wonderful gift to humanity!" "I don't care about any of that. I just want to save him," Liana shook her head lightly, indicating that she didn't care much about fame and money. "I know, but I still want to thank you," Sergio said earnestly. Liana changed the subject to avoid dwelling on trivialities. "I want to see Edward White for a moment." "Go ahead and try talking to him; maybe your voice can instill in him the will to survive. It will help." "Okay." Liana entered the lab alone. Edward White remained in the same state, connected to a series of tubes and machines. His face had become paler, and his features more pronounced due to the weight he had lost. There were noticeable changes throughout his body, and the only thing unchanged was his weakly beating heart. It was so weak that it was barely audible. However, at least it was still beating. His heart persiste
"When they met Liana's cold gaze, those shareholders knew that she was a more terrifying character than Kaya, and their initial intention to start a riot was immediately dismissed from their minds. Liana wasted no time and got straight to the point. 'Since everyone is here, I won't waste time with idle pleasantries. I'm giving you two options: one, find a way to make Kaya leave within a week, and Zimon will fall under the name of the White Family. Or two, you can choose to launch a resistance, but I guarantee you won't achieve anything, and Zimon will disappear from this world in a month. I leave the choice in your hands. Give your answer to my secretary within an hour.' After that, Liana didn't give them a chance to speak and left the room. She was giving them the last chance to make the smart choice; there was no room for negotiation! In reality, there wasn't really a choice. The White Group and Zimon were in irreconcilable disagreement; one had to die for the other to survive, a
After that, before going to the laboratory, Liana spent half an hour in Edward's company, and for the rest of the time, she locked herself in her lab. The White family sent food for her daily, and it was always a delicious meal.Many times it was Mrs. White who brought the food, and there wasn't much she could do, so she focused on taking care of Liana and Edward.Other times, Renan was the messenger, and he had long been assigned as the leader of the Dragon Unit, so he was as busy as a bee. However, he managed to find time to come home every week to visit Edward, his family, and then Liana.A whole month had passed since Liana started working in the lab again, and all her waking hours were spent reflecting on the mechanical heart. The White family understood and provided her with the privacy she needed.Small matters arose, like the patriarch of the Veronezzi family harassing them in court and unpleasant rumors spreading about the White Family&md
The White Family quickly familiarized themselves with the new industry, and everything returned to normal. In fact, they became stronger than ever. People passing through the company's doors couldn't help but look up in admiration at the building, shining brightly under the sun's rays, still standing tall and proud like an invincible kingdom. When people talked about them, they naturally discussed that legendary woman. This was especially true for the employees of the White Group. They fully submitted to Liana's authority, and she became one of the two most admired individuals, the other being Edward, and as fate would have it, they were a couple. The workers spent their idle hours gossiping about this curious couple. Everyone was happy to have them, and Liana was unaware of this and didn't care to find out. Others were focused on their business, but she was entirely focused on her research on the mechanical heart. In the medical laboratory, Sérgio spent an entire day reviewing the
The atmosphere in the office was solemn, and Liana was the only woman there, and after everyone had arrived, John began seriously. "The reason I called everyone here is because I have something important to announce. The president is dying, and the sky is changing." The room was shocked. "How come I didn't hear anything about this?" Renan was the first to ask. "The news has been kept under wraps for almost half a month, but now things have gotten so serious that they can't be kept secret anymore. I just found out." John said with a disappointed sigh. Even after his retirement, he seemed to have lost his balance in the political scene. He discovered such important news just at the last minute; he regretted his uselessness, senility seemed to have finally caught up with him. "Father, is this news reliable?" Charles asked, and John nodded. "It has been confirmed that it's true, and people are gearing up for a reelection. This news will likely be released in a few days, and the elect
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
