At that moment, the kidnapper's phone rang. He glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled maliciously, lit a cigarette, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone."Why is it taking so long? Where are you?"An impatient male voice came from the other end.“We still have twenty minutes. The little bitch discovered us, just dealt with her.”"Did you sleep with her?" the other party shouted.“How could I? Mack hasn’t made a move, how could I dare?”Fiona listened to the disgusting and vulgar words. She lowered her eyelids, suppressing her disgust. Her hand slowly reached into her handbag at the side. Ashton had heard before that she was traveling alone, especially to a remote place like New Port. She was worried, so she had Fiona pack a self-defense electric shocker in her bag."This foolish woman was planning to call the police just now," the kidnapper continued.“She probably isn’t aware of the relationship between Mack and the local police chief.”Fiona's heart sank. Through the rearvi
Fiona was prepared to go down with at least one car.But!!!!She never expected!!This car had a high safety rating.It even had automatic braking and automatic emergency braking and active collision avoidance featuresFinally.After a few more turns on the road, her car also crashed into the green divider.With a loud bang.The world spun around, and a pungent smell filled Fiona’s throat. Apart from the buzzing in her ears, she couldn't hear anything else. Lost in a daze, she looked through the shattered windshield, which now resembled a spider's web, and saw several figures getting out of their cars one by one. Leading the way was a chubby man, carrying a steel pipe as he approached her.Fiona raised her hand and manually locked the car once again. She had no idea whether her luck was good or bad. The doctor had said she had difficulty conceiving, yet she ended up getting pregnant after a brief moment without protection. Chased by kidnappers, she had prepared herself for death, but
"Harold..."Fiona called him.Harold looked at her, then lowered his eyelids. "Does Darwin know?""This child is mine, he doesn't need to know." Fiona paused for a moment, "Her life is also saved by you. You have to keep it a secret for us. If Darwin finds out, he will kill her."Harold was taken aback.He looked up in shock and anger. “Is he still human?”"Don't get so worked up." Fiona comforted him.Harold’s eyes turned red, filled with heartache. “Fiona”…""Don't be like this, I'm fine." Fiona smiled and said, "By the way, I was just thinking, since you saved my baby’s life, how about being her godfather in the future?"Harold froze.God… godfather?"Let's... let's talk about it later." Harold felt a bit guilty.“Alright.” Fiona lay down.Today has been exhausting for her, both physically and mentally."Don't think about anything, just get a good rest." Harold said by her side, "Fiona, you're not alone, I'll be with you."Fiona’s nose felt a bit stuffy.Her grandmother, in her las
Two million.What is this for?She couldn't be bothered to think carefully, afraid of making herself sick. Just consider it compensation for last night's injuries sustained in the accident."Feeling better?" Harold asked, handing Fiona a bowl of millet porridge.Fiona put away her phone and nodded, “Slept well, feeling full of energy again!”"But her face remained somewhat pale. "You have to take the medicine and supplements the doctor prescribed," Harold said, sounding like an old father. "I will," Fiona replied casually after finishing her porridge.After the doctor confirmed that she was fine, he gave her some advice before she was allowed to leave the hospital.Harold accompanied her to make a statement.While they were signing the papers, Fiona received a call from an unfamiliar number.She hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it."Fiona, where have you been?" It was Bella.Fiona remained silent."Miss Robbins, having trouble at work?" Fiona asked."Are you doing this on
Darwin froze for a moment.“What nonsense are you talking about?”He slammed the table hard. Jackie trembled and then confirmed that Darwin really didn't know. But he's Secretary Woods' confidant, isn't he? How could he not know? During that period, Secretary Woods lost a lot of weight..."Yes, I remember now. You were in Europe for half a month."Darwin was already in chaos.“Jackie, I’m not in the mood for jokes!”"I also wish I were joking, but... Secretary Woods personally told me that she needed time off to bury her relative!"“It’s impossible!”Darwin stood up and shouted. But the next second, he suddenly remembered Fiona's status update from the end of April. The grayish tone. Unconcealed sorrow."Call Fiona!" Darwin said in a deep voice.Jackie nodded and quickly took out his phone. The call was dialed, but the cold mechanical voice greeted them again."The number you have dialed is currently switched off..."“It’s switched off.” Jackie looked at Darwin with fear."Find out he
A sudden panic engulfed Darwin like never before.He walked into the bedroom. The once cozy space is now completely empty.Darwin searched around. There wasn't a trace left of her existence. The bathroom, the dressing room...All that remains are his belongings. She left decisively, without a single thought of him. Darwin felt anger welling up inside initially. He scattered his belongings all over the floor in anger.After venting, fear started to take hold again.He slumped on the sofa and took out his phone to call Fiona.Power off, power off… still powered off.At almost noon, Hathaway called.Darwin looked at his phone and remembered Fiona's resolute resignation that day.He hung up the phone. After a moment, Anniston called. Darwin remained silent for a moment, then answered.“You’re not at the office?” Anniston asked."No," Darwin replied in a cold tone.Suddenly, he felt a surge of anger and a question arose in his mind.Why must there be a marriage alliance?Solomons has grown
"Sis, it's time to eat!"Burl’s voice came from behind.Fiona withdrew her gaze from Sally's phone.“Coming!”his year, Burl has turned 19 years old.Completely different from four years ago, when Fiona first met him, he was thin, short, and scrawny.“Sis, I’m 184 now, impressive, right?”As soon as Fiona sat down, Burl had a proud look, as if seeking praise."What's so impressive about you? It's Grandpa who is impressive." Fiona looked at the kind-eyed old man.Old Allmond had a major illness a few years ago from which he didn't fully recover. He was still thin, and his complexion didn't look that great. However, perhaps because Burl had grown up and was sensible, he was in a good mood and always appeared cheerful, without any worries."Fiona, this big chicken leg is for you. You've gotten much skinnier compared to the last time I saw you."“Yeah, I told her, but she didn’t believe me.” Sally chimed in."Now that you're here with Grandpa, eat more and let Fiona gain some weight too!"
"Mr. Solomon..."The subordinate noticed Darwin’s expression and cautiously called out."Leave."Darwin waved his hand, a weary gesture betraying his exhaustion.The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.That night, Darwin couldn't sleep at all. The next day, before dawn, he drove to the cemetery.He didn’t really know Fiona’s grandmother.They had never really met. Not knowing what to buy for the offering, he ended up getting a bouquet of white chrysanthemums."Sir, are you here to pay respects to Mrs. Aishah?" The caretaker hurried over, looking surprised to see Darwin.This handsome man with an imposing presence was the first-time visitor.“Yes.” Darwin nodded. “It’s my first time here, could you show me the way?”"Oh!" The caretaker was very happy.Usually, only Fiona from the Woods family came to pay her respects.He was certainly pleased to have another person show respect.“What brings you here today?” the caretaker asked as they walked."No." Darwin
