"......"
When I heard what Claude said, I really wanted to give up. Claude was a man who had no conscience. If he had a conscience, he wouldn't have done this to me, and her baby wouldn't be dead. "So that's it. " I wiped the tears from my face and laughed, but my smile was even worse than my cry. "I'm not giving you this house. Don't even think about it." "Nat, I remember all the things you've done for me. I don't want it to be too ugly. I'm even willing to pay you more. If you do not agree, I have no choice but to expel you from the pack, "Claude said with a deep look on his face." If you do, you will not have the only compensation. Don't be so stubborn." "You..." I was shaking with anger. But there was nothing I could do about them. Claude was right. I was so stupid! I gave Claude too much trust! So, now I have nothing, even at their mercy. I can't even summon my own Wolf. How am I supposed to fight Claude and Vicky now? How am I going to avenge my children if I can't keep the only house my mother gave me? All of a sudden I felt like I was in a dark and desperate situation. "I advise you to be sensible. You can't beat me. I can take whatever I like, yours or not..." Vicky came over, leaned into my ear, curled her lips and whispered, "Claude, your kids, and now the house." "Vicky, I'll kill you." I heard myself saying. "Claude!" Vicky immediately threw herself into Claude's arms in fear, shaking all over, as if she was really afraid of me. Claude caught me by the arm and said coldly, "I advise you to calm down, or I will hurt you." "Hahaha..." I laughed, tears streaming down my face, I clenched my teeth: "You're welcome? How else can you treat me? You've robbed me of everything I value. Claude, I hate you... I wish I have never met you." "......" Before I could finish my sentence, Vicky raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face. "You shut up... All this was my idea, hate me if you want, it had nothing to do with Claude." Vicky slapped me so hard that my ears started ringing and I was confused. I felt a burning pain in my face. I hated Vicky and Claude so much that when I looked at them, the hatred in my eyes was almost congealed into substance. I calmed down and forced myself to say coldly, "Vicky... Claude... What you have done to me today, I will remember, sooner or later, I will let you back a thousand times, a hundred times, you wait for it..."My need for revenge has arose, more than anything else. I would have given my soul to the devil for revenge, just so that Claude and Vicky could not get what they wanted. Claude seemed surprised for a moment by the hatred in my eyes. "Show Natalie out." Claude was afraid that I would go crazy again and hurt Vicky. He immediately asked his guards to pull me out and asked: "Don't let Natalie in again." Vicky laughs, with the confidence and ease of a winner. As a loser, I have never smiled like this. Even when I was around Claude, I never smiled like that. "Let me go, I own this house, how can you do this to me..." I struggled hard. "Not now." Vicky smirks. The worse I look, the happier she'll be. Just then, Claude's phone rings. He takes it out and sees the caller ID. His expression changes slightly, and he looks cautious. Claude stepped aside and got on the phone. After sometime, he said gravely to the guard who was holding me. "You let her go. You don't have to chase her away." After that, Claude took Vicky's hand again and said, "Vicky, things have changed. Let's go today." "Why?" Vicky asks, puzzled. "I'll explain to you later!" Claude is rarely very tough with Vicky. Vicky grunts with displeasure but leaves with Claude after all. When I was left alone in the home, I could not help but sit in the corner, the whole person huddled together, silent, sad palpitations cry out... I don't know how long I cried. My head was in a fog. My eyes were filled with tears. Suddenly, a mellow, magnetic voice rang out from the room: "Stupid! You've been crying for more than three hours. How long are you going to keep crying?" I was startled and looked up at once. Now it was getting dark and the light in the room was very dim. I could see nothing clearly except a tall figure standing in front of me. "MK?" I gave a tentative cry. "Yes, it was me." The figure walked up to me and picked me up around the waist. "Don't sit on the ground. It's too cold and it's bad for you." I was afraid of falling, so I couldn't help but put my arms around MK's neck. MK walked in the dark, carried me back to my room and put me on the bed. Then he asked, "Are you satisfied with the first gift I gave you?" "What do you mean? I asked, full of doubt. I didn't get any presents today. After asking, it suddenly occurred to me that Claude left today because of a phone call, so I asked tentatively: "You mean this house?" "Yes." MK sat down beside me, and I felt the bed sag a little, and my body tensed up a little. "Did you make that call?" I pressed, really curious about MK's identity. The Furies Pack, where Claude owns it, has grown rapidly over the past few years, quickly becoming the most powerful Pack. I know how much work I've put into it. As The Alpha of The Furies Pack, there were few people who could threaten Claude, and everyone had to fear him. There were only a handful of people in California who could get Claude to compromise. "It wasn't me. I had someone make the call." MK admitted lightly. "Who the are you?" I couldn't help but asking."That's not important. The important thing is to know that I have the power to help you avenge." MK smiled confidently: "So, you have to believe me, don't make any doubt.""All right." I nodded. I'm willing to start trusting MK now.Besides, I have no choice but to trust him.MK suddenly stopped and touched my cheek. I gasped in pain. His expression turned cold and he asked me in a deep voice, "Did they beat you?""Well..." My nose nodded sourly."I'll make a note of it, and I'll pay it back with interest." MK said in a cold voice, I feel the air around me is a little cold."Are you angry?" I asked.MK did not answer, but suddenly took something and put it on my face. It was very cool and comfortable. I can feel it smells like some medicine. "Why do you have medicine with you?" I asked curiously.Still without answering, he bent over me on the bed and kissed me on the neck."What are you doing? " I pressed MK's chest in panic."Nat, you know very well that I want y
"We don't know much about that, we just do what we're told." The manager said truthfully, with a mysterious look on his face as he answered my question. I know he knows something. He just won't tell me.With no useful information, I sighed and returned to the living room, where I was surprised by the mountain of designer clothes, shoes and bags. The clothes and shoes are all the latest of the season, and many of the bags are limited edition. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. MK had so many sent to me at one time, which was enough to prove how much power and financial resources were.With MK as my backer, I feel a little uneasy in addition to having confidence. MK must be a man of very high social status. What kind of woman does he want? Why would he want me?Now I have nothing left but a life. What can MK get from me? Even the life I have now is MK.I thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with anything, so I gave up.Pick one outfit from those cloth
"MK? "I asked, surprised. "What MK, I don't know..." I lowered my eyes, not wanting to show too much emotion. But his question set alarm bells ringing in my heart."You don't have to pretend with me. I know you know MK. Why else would MK have asked my father to warn me not to use the house?"MK seems to be more powerful than I thought. With a sudden feeling of confidence, I smiled at Claude, pulled his hand away from my wrist, and left his office.When I walked out of here, before I could calm down, I received a phone call from MK. I immediately got on the phone.Before I could speak, MK asked, "Nat, are you crying?" Although MK is asking me, but the tone is very determined."Don't cry, only coward can cry..." MK said coldly, "I don't want the person I help to be a waste." I recognized the coolness in MK's tone, and my heart seemed to stop for a beat."No, I'm not crying." I took a deep breath and adjusted my tone. I didn't really want to cry, I just felt sad."Well, tears are the mo
I was taken aback."Ah..." I let out a scream of fear, but before I finished, someone put a tight hand on my mouth.The man's slightly calloused hands and prickly cheeks hurt. His sub-woofer's sexy voice rang out: "SHH... Don't scream, it's me.""MK? I immediately recognized that it belonged to MK. His voice was deep and sexy, and I had no power to resist."Well, it's me." MK answered in a low voice, and then bowed his head close to me, warm breath hit my face, I was suddenly surrounded by MK's cold breath. MK's slightly cold lips pressed down and kissed me strongly but gently.I reached out to push away MK. "Don't..." I gasped slightly. Although this is not the first time, but I still very not used to it.MK took me in his arms and separated me with an attitude that would not allow me to refuse. He said, "Nat, be good. Since the day you promised to deal with me, you have no qualification to refuse.""But I," I tried to excuse myself, but was quickly interrupted."You can't feel my ho
As long as it is about Vicky, Claude has no opinion of his own. He will always take Vicky's side.I was forced to follow Claude and Vicky to the hospital. Vicky went into the consultation room and Claude held me outside the door, as if afraid I'd run away."Don't worry, Vicky will be fine. I'm going to the bathroom. If you're worried, you can follow me." I have gradually calmed down, now only feel Claude pulling me upset."You..." Claude, seeing the emotion in my eyes, seemed to be burned and let go.I sneered and turned to the bathroom. When I got back from the bathroom, Vicky was already out of the consultation room and I didn't see Claude. What does it matter to me whether Vicky is alive or dead? If Claude hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have looked at them.I was about to leave when suddenly I heard Vicky talking to a child in the ward. I couldn't help pushing the door and saw Vicky talking to a child with a gentle face."Mom, does it hurt?" Asked the child, his young face full
The door opened, and a woman in a red dress got out of the car. With a worried look on her face, she helped me up and asked, "Are you OK?, Miss?"I got up from the ground with a little embarrassed, the car didn't hit me, but I just accidentally twisted my foot."I'm fine..." I shook my head. It was my fault. I just got distracted. I turned the red light, but I didn't see it, so I almost got hit by someone else."Shall I take you to the hospital, Miss? You may rest assured that I will take care of it." Said the woman with a sincere look.I just want to laugh, I shook my head, said: "I did not look at the road, the responsibility is not you."As I limped away, the woman suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Natalie?""I am, and you are?" I asked vaguely."You don't remember me. I'm Novia." Novia clasped her thumbs and fingers into a circle, placed them over her eyes, puffed out her mouth, and motioned for me to see.I just looked at her and recognized her immediately. Novia, my best friend
I froze a little when I saw him. I didn't expect Novia's cousin to be not only so young, but also so good-looking. This man is the only man I have ever seen who can equal Claude. Claude is gentle and harmless, but this man has a cold temperament.When I came in, the man looked up at me and said, "Novia already told me. I'm her cousin Galvin Powell. Just call me Galvin."Galvin?He has a G in his name, too? At this moment, I unexpectedly thought of MK. Galvin saw me in a daze and tapped his long fingers on the table. "Miss Fowler..."I came back to my senses and frowned in frustration. "Sorry, I was a little distracted..." I said, embarrassed."I have reviewed your resume and I have no doubt about your professional competence. And I know from Novia that you're in trouble. You're welcome in my pack, but business is business." He said, handing me a folder. "This is a plan given by a client. They like a stylish and simple style. You design the living room for them, in my office. When you'
"James, are you all right?" Claude's nervous voice began to sound, and he picked up the child from the ground as if he were a treasure.Galvin looked at Claude with a cold face and said, "You, watch the baby in public!""Galvin?" Claude was a little unsure and seemed to be seeing someone he hadn't seen in years.Galvin took me around the waist and seemed to have me under his protection. Seeing that I was trembling, he took off his coat and threw it over my shoulders."Are you all right? "Asked Galvin, softening his cold face. I turned my head to realize that I had nearly fallen and it was Galvin holding me.I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I didn't push Galvin away. Now I was full of strength. I was afraid that after pushing Galvin away, I would be embarrassed to stand unsteady, but I didn't want to show weakness in front of Vicky and Claude."I'm fine..." I said with a pale smile.Claude seemed to be thinking of something in the past. He looked at me in Galvin's arms wi
"Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.
"After that day, Elsie never came to the hospital again, and I continued to accompany Spring in the hospital while Mr. Eugen still took care of her with me every day.On this day, I received a call from Novia. Seeing Novia calling me on her own initiative, I couldn't help but be surprised. I glanced at Mr. Eugen who was resting next to me, and walked outside the ward to answer the phone."Novia?" I had a slight worry in my heart when it came to Novia."Do you have time to talk?" Novia's tone was a bit impatient, and she quickly said.I looked in the direction of the ward. Spring was sleeping at the moment, and Mr. Eugen was by her side, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave for a while.I agreed and said, "But I'm worried about Spring. Can we meet somewhere around the hospital?"When Novia heard my suggestion, her tone suddenly became even more hostile. "Hmph, pretending to care. That child is not yours, I don't believe you really care about that child."I heard Novia's tone an
I returned home, feeling physically exhausted, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Spring lying weakly in the hospital bed, waiting for a blood transfusion. After finally managing to doze off for a little while, I even dreamt of Spring crying and looking for their mother. I woke up drenched in cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.I know something is not right with my current state. It seems like I have truly become attached to Spring. Even though I know Spring has their own mother and is not my child, I can't control my emotions and treat them as if they were my own.I glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, I got up and made myself a bowl of instant noodles. As I looked at the steaming noodles, thoughts of Spring came flooding back. How is Spring doing now? They must be happy with their biological parents by their side, right? Despite thin
"Since you're back, just in case Spring gets confused, I'll make Spring call her Miss Natalie from now on," Mr. Eugen spoke again, a hint of pain in his eyes.Hearing his words, my eyes widened involuntarily. Does it mean that because Spring's mother is back, he won't allow Spring to call me mom anymore? I looked at Elsie sitting by the bed, watching Spring, and my lips started trembling."Spring!" I couldn't help but call out, but I was afraid of waking up Spring who was sleeping, so my voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.Elsie's lips curled up slightly, pretending to look innocent, and said, "Murphy, you really hired a good nanny this time. She has such deep affection for our Spring, I'm really happy about it." Elsie's tone was praising, and her eyes towards me were filled with admiration, as if I were just a nanny.I was taken aback and looked at Mr. Eugen. Elsie mistook me for a nanny, but what about
I walked towards the nearby sofa with a sense of disappointment and sat down. I listened as Spring called Elsie "mom," and it made me feel uneasy. Spring was just a child, and he quickly got tired after playing for a while. Elsie gently tucked him in and then sat down next to me. However, I couldn't help but notice that she was sitting a bit far away from me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."I never expected that taking care of a child could be so exhausting. You've really been through a lot these past few days," Elsie said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. I was already quite delicate-looking, but at this moment, I looked even more adorable and pitiable.So Mr. Eugen had been involved with a woman like her before. I suppose every man would be attracted to a woman like her, right? Even if he left, he probably wouldn't easily forget her, would he?My expression couldn't help but turn unpleasant. Elsie had come back, and judging by her appearance, it seemed like she wa
I felt a warmth in my heart. Even though I appeared confident in front of Mrs. Eugen, deep down I felt a bit insecure, thinking that I didn't really deserve Mr. Eugen. But Mr. Eugen's unwavering attitude truly made me feel secure.I couldn't help but turn my head and saw Mr. Eugen smiling at me."Murphy, you are really clueless," Mrs. Eugen said with a disdainful look, disgusted by my persistence. But knowing that today was not the day for any outcome, she left in a hurry.After Mrs. Eugen left, I didn't feel relieved. My mind was still filled with Mrs. Eugen's and Novia's words. Before I could think too much, Mr. Eugen looked into my eyes earnestly and said, "Nat, don't overthink it. I like you, and if you're willing to give me a chance, I would be really happy. I love you. The luckiest thing in my life is being with you."I knew Mr. Eugen liked me, really liked me. But I couldn't ignore Mrs. Eugen's words and I co
As Mrs. Eugen walked in and saw me, a disdainful expression appeared on her face. She looked at me mockingly and said, "Miss Fowler, I thought I made it clear last time. I never expected you to still be clinging to my son."Upon hearing Mrs. Eugen's mockery, I felt a bit angry inside, but I didn't show it. I simply smiled politely and responded, "Mrs. Eugen, this is between Mr. Eugen and me. He is an adult now, and even though you are his mother, you have no right to interfere with his freedom to love."I promised myself that I would face whatever challenges came my way, so this time, I wouldn't run away."I have every right to interfere, and it's not up to you to decide. I've seen women like you, who just want to climb the social ladder," Mrs. Eugen said contemptuously. "If you have any self-respect left, you will leave immediately. We don't welcome you here.""I'm not leaving, and you don't have the power to make
"Are you two together?" Novia exclaimed incredulously.Mr. Eugen, standing beside me, admitted openly, "As you can see."I felt my body stiffen, not expecting Novia to suddenly appear. I knew Novia had feelings for Mr. Eugen, even though he had made it clear to her. The current situation made it difficult for me to avoid suspicion."Novia, I..." I tried to explain, but it seemed that no matter how I explained it, it would be wrong.Novia looked at me with a cold smile and mocked, "I trusted you as a good sister, but you're secretly stealing my man. You're really something."Novia's words were sharp and pierced my heart deeply. "Novia, it's not like that, me and..." I tried to explain, but Novia interrupted me coldly.Novia questioned, "Natalie, if you dare to do it, you should dare to face it. You and Mr. Eugen are together every day. Have you been planning this all along?"Novia
I carefully examined Spring's features, and indeed, he looked so much like me. I took out my phone and switched to the front camera, looking at myself in the screen and then at Spring. The more I looked, the more I realized how uncanny the resemblance was. My heart started beating faster, just as the nurse had mentioned. Spring and I truly looked like mother and son. As I held the child in my arms, my inner turmoil only grew stronger.If Spring is my child, why hasn't Mr. Eugen told me about it? Could there be another hidden reason behind this? However, whether Spring is my child or not, I must resolve my doubts. While Mr. Eugen is still not back, I dialed the phone number of the detective agency I used before."I want you to verify some information."After hanging up the phone, I felt very nervous. Looking at Spring in my arms, I couldn't let go of him.When Mr. Eugen came back, he placed the take-out box on
