“Yeah, what’s wrong?” Alice asked curiously when she saw this look on Zayden’s face.After Zayden took the earring out of the jewelry box and looked at it for a while, he seemed to be sure of something. He then went into the study.He had an old black and white photo and a white photo in his hand when he came out. It looked like it was taken in the last century, and the corners were frayed. The photo was of a young woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, who was in a beautiful dress. She looked very aloof and had a gold necklace with two emeralds, one was small while the other was large. Although the photo was a bit old, the smooth outline of the emerald could still be seen.”“Who is this?” Alice asked in disbelief.Zayden took another look at that earring, and then put down the photo and said, “This woman is my grandmother, and what she is wearing around her neck is an heirloom from her mother’s family. The emeralds set on that necklace were two pieces, one was large and one was
“Oh, hey I am warning you. Don’t mess with him. Adrian probably hasn’t even graduated from college yet. He can’t even remember what happened before, so maybe he has a girlfriend.”Alice was very familiar with Maggie so she knew that once she started paying attention to a grown man, it meant she would hit on him.She always said Trevor was a playboy. But when it came to how often she flirted with men, to be honest, she was about the same as Trevor.Maggie looked at her and said, “Wow, wow take it easy, Alice. Do you think you are his mother? Chill, I was just asking. I am sure you can understand, after all he is so cute. Everyone likes young and hot boys, and so do I.”“Forget it! I know you very well, and you will lose interest in him after a while. Ah, I think Trevor is been pretty good to you lately. He does whatever you want.”“Oh, please! He does whatever every woman wants.” Maggie immediately looked defeated as she heard Trevor’s name. She looked at at the kitchen, and the withdr
“After that incident, Zayden let this poor little guy live with him. Of course, he looked at into this case, but he didn’t find anything. We just know that the babysitter on duty that day sneaked out. She does this often because Max is an obedient child. She had snuck out before, and nothing happened. But, Max had a fever that day.”Trevor remembered the details of the incident well. This was because he had never seen Zayden lose his temper that much since he had known him. Although Zayden always said that he didn’t care about children and that he was forced to have children by his grandfather, Max was his child after all. Zayden became anxious immediately after Max was in danger.“How did they punish babysitter?” Adrian asked.“She was sacked, of course. Zayden had picked some new maids since he was living with Max. Whenever he traveled, he would bring Max with him. But, if Zayden can’t take care of him, he would let Jessica do that. Jessica was, of course, very cautious. After all,
Jessica looked up and found that Mike was looking at her indifferently. She became flustered, and her heart immediately started to beat fast. She felt that Mike was not an ordinary person, and the hatred between him and Zayden must be very deep as well.“Why do you hate him so much?”“Stop asking, it’s none of your business. You just have to what I say.” Mike looked different, it was clear that he didn’t want to talk nonsense with Jessica.Jessica took a deep breath and asked, “Then what I am supposed to do? Shouldn’t you tell me how?”Jessica realized how uncomfortable it felt when someone know what she had done wrong. Moreover, it was clear that Mike had the upper hand.She thought that she could only blame Dave to find someone who was too careless to let him get away.“Ah, it’s easy. All you have to do is create an accident and frame on someone else.”“Good morning, Miss Brown.”“Good Morning.”Alice brought her two children to the hotel when she went to work in the morning. Many o
Alice didn’t keep thinking about that news. She knew that those all are made up by the paparazzi, and maybe everyone stop talking about it after a while.Although the paparazzi said nothing nice about her in this article, the story behind made up was just about love affairs. She knew that even if the fans were irrational, they would only complain about it for a few days.Alice didn’t think it was a big deal. She knew she should be sensible like Zayden but not upright like Roy.At the end of the afternoon, Alice went out of the office after packing her things. At this moment she noticed that none of the people in the office had left yet. She looked at her watch, looked up, and said, “Why haven’t you all left? It’s time to get off work. We are not busy recently so that you can leave in time.”Everyone had a sigh of relief after hearing her words and then smiled as if they were relieved.“Hey, don’t be afraid, I won’t make you guys work overtime,” Alice said to them with a smile.Everyon
Alice walked out of the building alone, got into the car, and said, “Sorry, Adrian, the housekeeper has already picked them up. So, could you give me a ride back to the Old Collins house?”Surprised and irritated, Adrian asked, “The Collins old house?”Alice was putting on her seat belt. Hearing his words, she stopped. She then said, “Ah, maybe I should take a cab. I don’t want to bring to trouble.”Adrian smiled, his expression immediately returning to normal. He said, “That’s okay, I don’t have anything to do anyway. I will drop you off right now.”He looked naive and innocent. After seeing his expression, no one would doubt his words, let alone, Alice, who trusted him.Alice smiled along with him and said, “Thank you. It’s my fault, I went out too late. Zayden’s grandfather was worried about the two kids, so he had the housekeeper wait for them earlier. He picked up the kids when he found that I hadn’t arrived.”By the time, they got to the old Collins house, it was already dark. T
The thing that worried Sean the most was that Max couldn’t talk. Zayden had asked him to take care of Max, but then the incident happened to Max. Therefore, Sean felt guilty for so many years. He always thought that he was the one who did not take care of the child.After hearing Alice’s words, he also realized that what happened back then was probably not an accident.After dinner, Jones walked them out of the door of the mansion. Through the car door, he said to Alice, “Miss Brown, don’t worry. Although we had fired that nanny, we recorded all her cell phone numbers. I will check it out later and let you know.”“OK, thanks.” Alice nodded at him and thanked him.The two kids sitting at the back were asleep on the way back.Through the review mirror, Adrian saw how preoccupied Alice looked. He asked, “What are you thinking about? Are you worried that even if you find a clue, you won’t have a time to check it out?”Alice looked back, nodded, and said, “Hey! How do you know what I am th
Adrian, sitting on the table, looked at his laptop and said, “Done.” He then looked up, turned the laptop around toward them, and said, “It’s very clear.”The monitor was facing the couch, and the bedroom behind it. The bedroom door was half open, allowing them to see what was on the bed.Maggie immediately exclaimed, “Oh, my God! What’s all this? Whips and handcuffs? Oh my god, and the nurse uniform…”As soon as Alice sat down on the couch, she couldn’t help but complain, “Gosh, you should be happy that you didn’t just go to that room. Or you would certainly throw up. That man had pungent perfume, and I almost passed out. How did Alicia meet this man?”Maggie brought a chair and sat down in front of the laptop, even though she thought they were disgusting. She then took out a bag of popcorn as if she was ready for a movie.They saw that Alicia was hugged by the man when she entered the room. The man gasped and pressed his lower body against Alicia’s waist. He said, “Hey, honey, you a
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the woman’s arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.”The woman’s voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didn’t even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Max’s desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the family’s only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
