"Mom, why are you here?" Natalie turned to Henry questioningly and asked, "What's going on?" Henry's lips curved into a faint smile.Then, Wade answered on his behalf, saying, "Well, after Mr. Chase learned from Amos that Jackson took you away, he immediately sent his men to track Jackson down."When we found him, we asked him where your mother was. And knowing that you'd be worried about your mother, Mr. Chase instructed me early on to take your mother here when you were both back."Upon listening to his explanation, Natalie felt moved. She didn't expect Henry to have everything so well thought out.Indeed, Henry knew her really well now. This was something that would only happen when one was truly concerned about someone else. As long as they cared, they would try to understand the other party.Natalie's lips subconsciously curled into a delighted smile. "I see."Then, she asked Yvonne, "Mom, did Jackson do anything to you? I was scared witless after all that he said today!
Before Henry could say anything, Natalie asked, "Shirley called? Why?""Mrs. Shirley is getting discharged tomorrow and will come home with the baby," Amos answered solemnly.Upon hearing that, Natalie said without hesitation, "We should visit Shirley and the baby tomorrow, Henry."Speaking of which, Shirley and her shared similar experiences—they both lost their first babies.And now, Natalie felt genuinely glad that Shirley had a successful delivery. Of course, she would also love to see what the baby looked like.It might arouse her innate motherly love, and she would look forward more to her own baby's arrival."Sure." That was what Henry thought, too.Harry wasn't home, so they were Shirley's closest relatives now. Naturally, they'd have to visit her and her baby more frequently."Felix, do you want to go too?" Natalie suddenly remembered Felix. But she turned around and realized that Felix had an odd expression on his face."Maybe I shouldn't…" Felix said with his head
The noise startled Rachel and the photographer, and they both looked over at the same time.The moment Rachel recognized the person walking toward her, her heart fluttered. It was Leonard.For as long as she knew him, he had always been either cheeky or full of smiles. But this was her first time seeing him with a dour expression.The photographer saw Leonard greeted him hesitantly, "Mr. Richmond…"Leonard didn't even glance his way as he made his way toward Rachel. He had a coat hung over his arm, which he then immediately flung over Rachel instead. "Let's go!" Leonard cast Rachel a cold glance and tugged her as he headed for the exit.However, Rachel attempted to break free of his grasp, saying, "Mr. Richmond, I still have work to do."But the moment she said that, she noticed that Leonard's expression darkened even further."You're a model I signed, so only I can assign you jobs! What are you even doing here, huh?" Leonard's voice held a hint of suppressed anger. Yet, h
"I'll do anything to reach the top," Rachel replied calmly.Leonard's eyes reddened further. "Anything? Then spend the night with me! I told you you'll easily get what you want as long as you do that!"Leonard's gaze never left Rachel's face as he waited for her reply. He wanted to know if she would truly do anything to achieve her goals.Then, at the next moment, a faint smile appeared on Rachel's lips. "Can I take your word for it, Mr. Richmond? As long as I spend the night with you and please you, will you help me scale the heights of my career once more?""I promise," Leonard answered without batting an eyelid.Rachel lowered her gaze. Several moments later, she reached up and took off the coat.As the coat fell to the floor, her alluring curves were exposed before Leonard.However, it didn't arouse him at all. He just wasn't in the mood for it.He only hoped that Rachel would be more obedient and stop devaluing herself."Would you like to remove my remaining garments, o
However, Garrett seemed to not care about Leonard's attitude and would still fool around as usual. It was as though the pain of losing his wife and baby didn't get to him at all.According to Garrett, the fact that he never remarried after Leonard's mother died was the greatest compromise he could make.Leonard thought he sounded absurd because this meant that Garrett never reflected on his actions and thought that, as his son, Leonard was the one being insensible.Over the years, one of the reasons Leonard had been flirting around with various women and getting involved in scandals was to take revenge on his father.Whenever someone teased him for being fickle and smooth-tongued, he would casually retort, "Well, I can't lose to my father, can I?""Leonard, don't go against my wishes. I'll give you more time to settle things with this model, or else… It wouldn't look pretty if I were to take things into my own hands," Garrett said."Are you threatening me?" Leonard smirked."Y
Logan's accusations weren't baseless. Harry had, in fact, given Evelyn hope and crushed it himself. Henry calmly looked at Logan. Then, after a while, he asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?""I just don't think there's a need for you to come to me. After all that Harry's done, prison is where he belongs!"The video held clear evidence! I didn't do him wrong! So, why are you here?" Logan shot Henry a scornful sidelong glance. Clearly, he was displeased with Henry's arrival."I just want to know why you've gone to such lengths to land my brother in the situation he's in right now. You might not believe it, but he didn't push Evelyn off the building," Henry said, keeping his cool.After all that had happened, Henry's trust in Harry had wavered. However, he chose to believe Harry in this. He trusted that Harry would've admitted it if he'd done it.Logan scoffed as though Henry was telling him a joke.From his perspective, if Harry was cruel enough to abandon his o
Nobody answered the door even after a long while.Sheldon asked calmly, "Is the tenant in?""According to the owner, the tenant almost never leaves the house," Ryan answered solemnly.Sheldon didn't question further. Instead, he simply reached out to press the doorbell again.Just then, the door opened, though only slightly. However, Sheldon could still see that it was utterly dark inside.The tenant's face was obscured as he hid himself in the darkness. Even his voice was low enough to the extent that it was hair-raising when he asked, "Who's there?"Sheldon asked, "Are you the tenant of Unit 2508?"Instead of answering him, the tenant asked, "Anything?" He held tightly onto the door, leaving only a narrow opening.Ryan was a bit curious and couldn't refrain from stealing a glimpse into the house. However, he received a glare from the tenant.It was then Ryan realized there was a deep scar on the tenant's face.Ryan's heart shuddered at the tenant's glare, but he wasn't su
In a few days, death would appear as Lyla's inevitable outcome if she couldn't find a way to escape.She didn't want that! Dying was not an option she was willing to entertain!After surviving the past months through sheer willpower, surrendering now was inconceivable.She had so much hope for the future and yearned for the day she would reunite with Sheldon."I will tolerate today's incident only once! If it happens again, be prepared for consequences that will far exceed today's suffering." Dylan threatened Lyla with an ominous expression.Getting drenched in saltwater was excruciatingly painful, and the pain Lyla experienced lingered.However, Dylan spared her no further attention and swiftly turned to leave.Lyla was now left alone. Then, she gathered all her strength to lift her wrist to reveal a bracelet—it was a gift from Sheldon.He had casually placed a box in front of her that day, and curiosity lit up Lyla's face as she inquired, "What's this? It's not an engagemen
