Maxwell went upstairs and went directly to his study. At this moment, although the study was not in a mess, the opened bookshelf revealed what had happened here not long ago. He clenched his fists tightly, walked all the way to the small path slowly, and went to the basement. He asked someone to build the basement secretly after he became the master of the Bai family. Although he had mastered the power back then, some people in the Bai family cast greedy eyes on his status. He had been a gangster for many years and knew how to protect himself. If someone wanted to make trouble for him, he could escape from here easily. Later, his status became stable, so there was no need for him to use the basement. Three years ago, he did not imprison Marrlin here. After Adele jumped into the river, he saw the hatred in Isaac's eyes clearly. But at that time, there were some problems in Bai Company. He wanted to control Isaac and ensure that Bai Company could develop ste
The car streaked off down the expressway. Adele suppressed the panic in her heart forcefully and held Arvis in her arms tightly. Arvis was small. Although he did not cry or make a noise, she could feel that he was afraid. At this moment, he was trembling. He grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, but he didn't say a word stubbornly and sensibly. In fact, she was also scared. The two men stopped them on the street and took them into the van directly. At this time, the black-skinned man was driving, and the fat man was sitting next to her and Arvis. They didn't tie them up, but they couldn't move or escape. She didn't know who they were, why they treated her like this and who sent them. She asked them just now, and they refused to tell her anything. What scared her the most was that she saw the road signs and knew that the car was heading for A City. A city... She wanted to escape, and it took her four hours to leave there by tax
"Little b*stard! Do you want to die?" The fat man looked at the vomitus on his trousers and was extremely disgusted. He grabbed Arvis's shoulder and shook him fiercely, "I'll beat you!" Adele was startled, "I'm sorry! He didn't do it on purpose!" Arvis trembled with fear and kept shaking his head, "Mister..." "Frid!" Elliot shouted in a deep voice. "Why do you roar at me?" The man named Frid shouted back impatiently, "Look at where he vomited! Look at my trousers! D*mn it! What a d*mn job! If I knew that I would suffer this, I would never come with you no matter how much money you give me!" Elliot frowned and snorted, "Is that so? Ha-ha! Frid, I don't mean to look down on you. If I really give you lots of money, maybe you can eat the vomitus without blinking, let alone just sit there." Elliot's words were a bit unpleasant, and Frid turned nasty immediately, "Elliot, what do you mean?" He sneered, "Don't act noble in front of me. If I give you so muc
"Come on, Arvis!" Adele reached out her hand, "Give me your hand." She finally got off the car with Arvis. Elliot couldn't rest assured, so he asked Frid to wait at the door of the bathroom. In the bathroom, there was a shelf which the cleaner used to put their stuff. When she entered, she glanced at it in a hurry and saw a set of uniform. She took the uniform and put it on hastily. Then she took the opportunity to walk out of the bathroom together with several people and escaped with Arvis. The terrain here was very high. Behind the service station was a cliff, and she could vaguely see some houses at the foot of the mountain far away. They could only escape through the cliff, but there was no path down the cliff. However, she had no choice. Adele chose a relatively secluded and smooth place, and then walked down. There were a lot of trees and weeds, but she couldn't care that much. Arvis had just vomited. At this moment, his face was a little pale
Marrlin woke up once, but soon fell asleep again. Isaac knew that it was because she was in poor health. He didn't need to worry too much her after she had a check-up, and she only needed to nurse her body in the future. Ben hired two nice carers for Marrlin, but Issac stayed in the hospital with her in person. Only in this way could he rest assured. At noon, James sent him lunch. Although it was a home-cooked meal, the food was exquisite in color and well matched. "Is it cooked by Elizabeth?" "Of course." James nodded very proudly, "She had prepared the meal when I came back. She insisted on letting me send it to you. Eat while it's hot. You know that she's very good at cooking!" "It's so nice of her. Thank her on my behalf." Isaac took the bowl but didn't start to eat immediately. "Hey! Eat while it's hot. I came all the way to send it to you. She had cooked for a long time today." Saying this, he pointed to one of the thermos, "She made some soup
In the end, Adele was brought back to A City by Frid and Elliot. "Get out of the car!" As soon as the car stopped, Frid roared fiercely. Adele's eyelashes quivered, and even her hands were trembling gently. Through the car window, she saw a three-storey white house. It was not very imposing, but it made her flustered for no reason. She... was not familiar with this place. When she came here, she observed the environment outside. This place was not very remote, and it should be on the fourth ring road. This house was in a neighbourhood. There were many trees and plants inside, and the houses were quite far away from each other. "I ask you to get off the car. Do you hear me?" Frid was impatient, and his eyes were extremely malicious as he stared at Adele. He opened the car door completely and turned to say to her, "I warn you. Don't try to play any tricks. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot! You don't need me to remind you, do you?" Adele did
This voice... How could it be? Adele's heart suddenly trembled violently. She hugged Arvis with more strength unconsciously, and her eyelashes quivered harder. On her way here, she had thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect that it would be him. She was too familiar with this voice. Although it had been several years, she could tell who it was. She swallowed hard and knew that it was useless to escape, so she opened her eyes slowly. "It's... you?" In front of her, the tall and strong man was dressed in a deep purple Tang suit with a dragon-shaped cane in his right hand. His hair was half white, and there were wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were sharp and cold. At this time, he was even looking at her with a faint smile. He... was Maxwell. She had just calmed down, but she panicked again. To be exact, she was nervous and even frightened. It was Maxwell! She once saw him punish the servants and whip Issac in the Bai
"Not long after you went to Lone Oak Place." Maxwell chuckled. "At that time, he said that he wanted to enter Bai Company. You had lived in Bai Family for so long before, so you should know my style of doing things. When he said that, I didn't think that he wanted to help me, and I knew that he had another purpose." "Although I didn't find anything else, I learnt that you were alive. But..." He looked at Arvis again, "You're quite good at hiding. If I didn't see you today, I wouldn't know that you've given birth to his child." Although Adele was afraid, she knew that Arvis would be safe if Isaac knew this matter. She didn't care whether she would suffer or not. However, Maxwell said so... She didn't know what would happen to her, nor did she know how Maxwell would treat Arvis. "Three years have passed. I thought he had forgotten you. If it weren't for you, maybe he would be discussing his marriage with Chloe at this time, or perhaps they would have got married." As he
Time went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, John was already sixty years old. He didn't like complicated things and didn't like to celebrate his birthday. However, Lydia insisted on holding a birthday party for him. Considering that he liked quiet atmosphere, Lydia didn't celebrate his birthday in style. She only invited some close friends. Benjamin and Isaac naturally went there. Arvis was already five years old. He was much more lively than a few years ago, but he was not particularly noisy. Adele was pregnant again. The child was less than five months old, but Isaac was very nervous and followed her everywhere. He was so careful that James and Benjamin couldn't stand him anymore. That day, James teased him, "Say, Isaac, why are you so cautious? Adele is not a porcelain doll. If you want to please her, you don't have to be so affected." Isaac handed a piece of apple to Adele. After she finished eating, he replied, "I love my wife.
John didn't expect that she would mention this matter on her own. He fell in love with her first and said that he wanted to get engaged to her, but she proposed to get married first. Was it even? However, he wasn't a strait-laced person. Besides, wasn't it a good thing that his beloved girl couldn't wait to marry him? If they got married, he could see her as soon as he got home from work, and she would accompany him for meals. If he worked at home, she would stay with him. When he woke up in the morning, he would see her sleeping face at once and say good morning to her. At night, they could sleep together. What a wonderful thing! They got married in early August. The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests. Almost everyone who had something to do with the Lu family and the Song family attended their wedding, and some even came from afar. The three floors in the most luxurious hotel in A City was filled to capacity. John would always
"Happy birthday to you!" She sang the birthday song softly. Her voice was dulcet and soft, and it was very pleasant to the ear. The candlelight on the cake flickered as she moved, and the fruit on the cake gleamed in the candlelight. As Lydia approached John step by step, he felt that he was going crazy. She preferred to wear dresses, but all her dresses were lovely. Sometimes, she wore like a read lady. But at this time... She wore a long black lace dress that only reached her bottom. It was so flimsy that he could see her underwear... Her bra and pants were red and sexy, which only covered the most important parts of her body... At this time, John was obsessed with her, and he was hot all over. He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy. "John..." Lydia came to him and looked at him shyly. "Today is your birthday." He looked at her bright and affectionate eyes and couldn't help but
John's birthday was coming soon, and Lydia was very distressed, because she hadn't decided what to buy for him. It was in the dark ages of computing. There was a computer in her house, but the network was not very developed. Therefore, she only asked a few close friends about it. They told her that she could buy him tie, cuffs, and clothes, but she denied these ideas at once. John was born in a rich family. After he grew up, he became a very excellent businessman. He had received many expensive birthday gifts, let alone something like a tie. As his fiancee, she couldn't be perfunctory, could she? So, she went to the mall, but she didn't see anything she liked. It seemed that giving him a special and novel birthday gift was not easy. She didn't know how to make handwork or paint. She had learnt piano when she was young, but she gave up later. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Except for the fact that she co
With the permission of Lydia's parents, John travel with her abroad for a few days. After coming back, he hired someone to teach her at home. Lydia had a feeling of freshness at the beginning. After all, she used to attend classes at school. At this time, she could learn knowledge at home. Moreover, the teachers were very careful and very patient. However, the next day, she was not willing to study like this, so she went to find John. "Why?" John was puzzled, "Is it because they can't teach their lessons well enough? If that's the case, I'll change new teachers for you tomorrow." "No!" She kept waving her hand, "They are very good teachers and they're patient, but..." She looked at him cautiously and thought twice before speaking, "They are just too patient, and they take good care of me as if I'm a child. I feel... a little stressful." John was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, "Is this the reason?" "Yeah." Lydia nodded, "But I am not a chil
Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again. On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness. At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out. Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then? "I'm sorry." Nina said softly. "Oh." Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently. Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?" "I'm apologizing to you!" "I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?" "You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?" "What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you w
Nina's voice came from the stereo around the playground. She had said a lot. There were so many people on the sports ground, but none of them spoke. They were all shocked and stunned. "As for what I said to Lydia, it was my prank. Actually, Lydia's fiance has nothing to do with me. I... just envied her for having such an excellent fiance and I was jealous. Therefore, I did that to her that day..." After she said this, the crowd, which had been quiet, suddenly burst into an uproar. "Oh my god! How could it be?" "I heard that she was very excited that day. She cried, knelt in front of Lydia and begged her. But she said it was a prank?" "She couldn't do that even if she wanted to prank on Lydia, could she? That is Lydia's fiance." "I don't think it's a prank. I was in the dormitory at that time and I saw it with my own eyes. Nina looked really sad. In my opinion, Lydia must have put pressure on Nina, so Nina has to do this." "Lydia's family
As soon as Lydia entered the school, she walked with her head down, because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances. Besides, with John holding her hand, she did not have to worry that she would fall down. After what had happened yesterday, she... had become quite well-known in school. "Lydia, look up." His voice was very soft, but she was somewhat pressurized. She gave him a resentful look, "Do you even want to force me to raise my head?" He chuckled, "Didn't you listen to my words carefully just now?" "Yeah." Lydia snorted, "But I came in here, didn't I?" She said, "You said those words indeed, and I think it makes sense, but... John, it's hard for me to do it, okay? I know I'm not wrong, but I'm very worried. You are not me, so you won't understand my mood." John sighed lightly and didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he didn't talk much in ordinary times, he did things in a decisive manner. Perhaps, he really had no way to
"John, you're here?" Nina ran into the house with great joy. Just now, she went out, but when she knew that he had come here, she rushed back, for fear that she would miss him. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Looking at John who was sitting in the living room, she was very happy, and her heart jumped very fast. John was very excellent, and she was infatuated with him. Although she had done such a thing, she didn't regret it at all. As long as she could be with him, she couldn't care about so much. That day... why on earth did he come here? Was it because Lydia couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him? Had he found out how good she was? John raised his head and took a look at her. His eyes were very bland. When she was about to walk over, John stood up. He arranged his suit and said to her father, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as I said. I hope to hear it tomorrow." Her father's face darkened, but he didn't dare to lose
