It wasn’t until Alice realized that not all rich girls were delicate. After all, every parent hoped that their girls to be capable of self-defense.Alice gasped as he realized that she should never mess with Daisy. Daisy not only came from a wealthy family, but she also knew how to fight. She could not only be dominant but also be gentle.How could I compete with her? Alice thought to herself.Zayden calmly looked at her and asked, “Are you afraid, Alice? If so, just leave this to me, and I will make sure she never bothers you again.”Alice seriously refused, “Thank you, but I will have to handle this on my own.”If it was only about love, Alice certainly expected Zayden to handle it by himself. But because Daisy was involved in the fire, Alice was curious as to who her accomplice was.Since the one who did this with Daisy was attempting to murder the two kids, Alice was afraid that if she didn’t find out the truth, she would have to be worried for the rest of her life.Seeing that sh
The sun shone brightly when Alice woke up early the next morning. When she felt the ray of sunlight falling on her face through the window, she instinctively raised her hand to shield it. Then, she sat up.At that moment, she heard something scratching the car outside.Alice then immediately got out of the car. And she saw Zayden standing in front of the car’s gas tank and fiddling with the plastic pipe.She asked as she felt puzzled, “Hey, what are you doing?”Zayden looked at her and said, “Filling up the car.”The white tube connected the fuel tanks of the two cars and was transferring the oil from hers to his.Zayden’s car had run out of gas, and Alice’s car had broken down. As a result, he intended to make the most of what was left of her car.“Wow! Awesome!” Alice said.Alice froze as she discovered how he did it. She asked, “How did you do that? I remember that your car was far away from mine! How did they get so close together?”“Someone passed by us this morning and I asked h
They arrived at the Sea Town after a few hours. Alice had fallen asleep against the passenger seat by then with tears on her face.Zayden didn’t want to wake her up. However, he was aware that the time was running out and that they needed to return as quickly as possible.He tapped her on the shoulder after pulling up and said, “Hey, wake up, Alice. We have arrived.”Alice opened her drowsy eyes and looked at Zayden for a few seconds. Then, she looked out of the window to see where she was. She noticed that the sunlight was so strong that she almost heard her skin cracking.Alice had only taken two steps out of the car when she noticed a glimmer of shade above her. When she looked up, she found Zayden standing beside her with a black umbrella. Then, he asked, “Hey, where are we going?”She looked back, then pointed to the grocery store and said, “That way. Maggie told me to find the owner of the grocery store. She said that it’s the only store in this town with a pay phone.”North Tow
Alice’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. It took her a long while to regain her composure to ask, “What are you talking about? Di d you really tell her that?”“Oh, it’s seeming that you weren’t around her at that time.” Daniel said as he looked at her.Alice clenched her fist and thought, Damn it! Maggie, you lied to me again! No wonder you kept telling me that Daniel was a weirdo and told me to get fully prepared. You didn’t even try to tell me what Copper told you on the phone!Alice felt that if Maggie was not in the hospital at that time, she would have called her and yelled at her. Nonetheless, she forced herself to speak with Cooper.“Mr. Cooper, you know, it took me a long time to get here. So, can we at least talk about it? Don’t worry. I will only take a few minutes of your time. You can just simply ask what you want.”Alice said with a smile on her face. But in her heart, she was cursing Maggie at that moment.“You don’t have to do that, Miss Brown. Like I said, I don’t wan
Daniel’s voice sounded extremely grim as if he was coming from hell. He asked, “You said you are Zayden Collins, the president of the Dream High Group.”At that moment, Alice had just left the door with Zayden. They both turned around when they heard him ask that question.Zayden nodded and said, “Oh, it seem you know me.”“Well, I am more than familiar with you.”Daniel gritted his teeth in anger, then threw all his manuscripts heavily at them. Those papers, as white as snowflakes, flung toward them.At that point, Daniel snarled as he walked toward Zayden, “But I didn’t expect you to come here by yourself.”“Watch out!” Alice shouted.Then, her mind went completely blank. Someone shoved Alice out of the path and made her crash into the white wooden door.With a ‘thud,’ her back hit the door, making her cry out in surprise from the pain. When she regained consciousness, the two men in front of her were already beating each other up.Zayden was a skilled fighter. Daniel, on the other
“Well, perhaps because it doesn’t really matter. It was a subsidiary on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation, and it was worthless. You were competing with Jason Collins for the South Sea resort when it went bankrupt. So, I was in charge of all these small companies back then.”“Ah, I see. So, why did Happiness go bankrupt? How come the group didn’t help it?”“Oh, that’s because there was nothing, we could do about it. At that time, Happiness was ruined by it’s manager and those shady factories. You know, they use substandard materials in making children’s clothing. And these materials are harmful to people. By the way, a lot of media covered this incident, but it barely affected us because Happiness never had any connection with out group. When I went to their office to check it out, there was no one there.”Zayden was not the only person in charge of the entire Dream High Group Five years ago. Sean was hesitant about putting Zayden in charge of the entire company and was also ups
Alice gasped and replied awkwardly to Zayden, “Hey, you seem to be the president back then.”“I am the president.”“But I am not incharge of the clothing brand back then,” he added.Zayden looked at Daniel and said, indifferently, “You heard me on the phone this afternoon. So, do you still think I am a liar? Or is it that you just don’t want to admit it yourself.”Daniel was trembling with anger. He yelled angrily, “Oh! But this happened because you guys were fighting over it. You are really disgusting! You take the designer as a scapegoat to take the blame for you.”“Oh, if you think so, then there is nothing I can say.” Zayden looked at him indifferently, then rolled the paper towel in his hand into a ball.The white ball made a smooth arc in the air and smashed precisely into the trash can at the end of the bed.To be honest, if Alice was not curious about it, Zayden didn’t even want to ask about these trifles that happened long ago. Besides, it was Jason who caused the trouble.Al
Daniel told Alice that he had some things to take care of in Sea Town and he would leave for Rose City later within a week.So, Alice and Zayden left first.“Someone else was in charge of Dream High Group five years ago, right?” Alice asked as they were in his car.Zayden had his hand on the steering wheel and was looking intently ahead. He wasn’t distracted when he heard that and then said, “Jason is a year younger than me. But, he had only finished his undergraduate degree when he worked for the group back then. He even gave up the chance to pursue a master’s degree at Y University. So he was already the group’s vice president when I returned to England. To be honest, Grandpa used to think highly of him.”Alice was impressed with Jason. She had met him at the Collins house before and remembered that he was a man in his thirties and looking somewhat similar to Zayden.He seemed gentle and friendly and always had a smile on his face. However, no one could get close to him.“Maybe you
“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
