Evelyn Wu was tired from singing, and her throat was parched. She put down her microphone and wanted to get a drink from where she was sitting before. But she was surprised to find that Elizabeth Liang wasn't there, nor anywhere else in the room. "Huh... where's Elizabeth?" Evelyn took a sip of beer to moisten her throat and sat down. But she began getting nervous after a while since Elizabeth still wasn't back. Places like these were always messy and unsafe. Evelyn prayed that nothing bad has happened to Elizabeth. Distraught, she picked up her phone and tried to call Elizabeth. However, after one ring, she saw a phone that was lit up and buzzing on the table before her - Elizabeth didn't even take her phone! Evelyn waited patiently for a long time, but Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen. Evelyn couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed Elizabeth's cellphone and stood up, then began going around the room and questioning her classmates. They wer
The door was opened from the outside. Only a dim yellow wall lamp was turned on in the room. The man who entered looked at the woman on the bed who was squirming slightly, and his lips curled in satisfaction. He closed the door and walked in step by step as he unbuttoned his shirt. The man wasn't wearing much in this summer weather. Soon enough, he had taken off his shirt and pants, leaving only a pair of tight briefs. His fat and bulging body crawled onto the bed and gently lifted the sheets. He watched the petite woman under the sheets. Every inch of her skin was flushed red, and she was anxiously and restlessly writhing around. A devilish smile appeared on his face. "Feels bad, doesn't it, honey?" Elizabeth Liang felt as if her whole body was burning, and the heat made her so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry. She was barely conscious at this point. She heard the voice in a daze and nodded desperately. It felt so bad. "Don't w
James Lu closed the door with his foot and carried Elizabeth Liang, who was barely conscious, up the stairs. The way he walked was urgent but incredibly steady, each step he took was strong and steadfast. "So hot..." Elizabeth mumbled in irritation. She currently felt as if she was stuck in a barren desert, choking from the heat and breathless from her thirst. She wanted to go out and find a stream to submerge herself in, so that she could escape from this burning emptiness. She rubbed her head against James's chest and clung to his shoulders. His cooler body temperature made her sigh with content. As the woman in James's arms let her hands freely roam around his body, he frowned and growled through gritted teeth, "F*cking stop it!" His command did nothing to stop her movements, if anything they grew even more audacious. "..." Utterly speechless, James quickened his pace. He finally arrived before Elizabeth's room. James effortlessl
"Are you trying to break my doorbell like this?" James Lu angrily pulled opened the door and looked at the person standing outside with exasperation and fury. Isaac Bai snorted and slipped into the house with his medicine chest. "Look how petty you are! You're the one who told me to rush over here ASAP! Well, now that I came here in a hurry, you're losing your temper at me? Really?" Isaac looked suspiciously at James, who had closed the door and was following behind him. After some careful examination he said, "Hmm... something's up with you!" "Right, my a*s!" "You sure?" Isaac raised his eyebrows at James, clearly unconvinced. "Your clothes are crumpled and your hair is in a mess. Did you just roll out of bed?" "Ahem..." James coughed a little unnaturally. "What?" Isaac glanced upstairs and gave James a curious wink. "Did you take care of it already?" Ugh! If Isaac hadn't arrived so perfectly on time, James might've been a third of the way thr
"Sign your name if you don't have any objections." The person recording the interrogation casually threw him the record book. His voice was flat and carried a hint of disdain and impatience. Looking at the words written on it, President Lee's face turned ghastly pale and his lips couldn't stop trembling. He had recounted the events truthfully, but the record was almost entirely different from what he said. They made this record with him only as a formality. The contents of it described everything as his fault, every single detail of it from beginning to end! "Make sure you answer nicely later. Don't make any trouble for me, otherwise..." James Lu's words echoed in his ears over and over again, crushing his sanity. President Lee was sitting in a tiny chair, and the clothes that he had put on in a hurry were all crumpled. He was slightly bent over and his face was covered in black and blue. It was clear at a glance how violently he was beaten. Presiden
Josephine Liang arrived at the location Director Chen gave her and opened the door. The polite smile on her face disappeared when she saw that Director Chen was alone in the room. She asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that Mr. Chang was here? Why are you here alone, Director Chen?" Director Chen, who was drinking tea, answered with a smile, "Mr. Chang had just gotten off the plane and is on his way here." Director Chen continued to fiddle with the small teapot on the table. "Josephine, my superstar, come and sit here." Josephine was still thinking about what happened with President Lee and was in no mood to drink tea. "Director Chen, since you don't know when Mr. Chang is going to come anyway, can I just leave for today?" "Do you know what you're saying?" Director Chen frowned slightly. "Mr. Chang is in a hurry to see you first thing when he comes back. Do you know what that means? Josephine, I know that you're a rich heiress now and that you have a handsome an
"Don't worry, I won't hit a woman." After saying that, James Lu threw her to the side, picked up a few pieces of tissue from the table next to him, and meticulously wiped his hands. Josephine Liang fell to the ground and looked up at James. She was scared and distraught, but the fever and desire inside her was even more overpowering. James slowly and thoroughly wiped his hands, as if he had just touched something filthy. "What are you trying to do?" Josephine's voice trembled as she asked. "Nothing." James replied in a relaxed tone, then emotionlessly ordered someone outside the door, "Come in!" When Josephine clearly saw the person approaching her, she instantly widened her eyes. He was the waiter whom she had bribed into drugging Elizabeth Liang! "..." Josephine was suffering from the unbearable heat, but a cold shiver somehow ran down her spine. Josephine had paid him money twice on separate occasions. She was afraid of being discovere
By the time Elizabeth Liang woke up, it was already afternoon the next day. The sun shone through the curtains, and the air conditioning in the room was set to a pleasant temperature. "Mmh..." Elizabeth raised her sore hands and rubbed her painful head. As she was massaging her head and looking at the curtains in her room, a question arose in her mind——She was glad to be back in this familiar room, but how exactly did she get back? Elizabeth tried hard to recall what happened, but to no avail. The last thing she remembered was dying from the heat in the hotel bathroom, and then somebody saying that they were going to take her to James Lu. When she remembered this, last night's events quickly flashed through her mind——she drank something that she shouldn't have. Why did James feed that to her? If he wanted something from her, why couldn't he have just asked? Why did he have to do something so vile? So, James was the one who took her home? But, k
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
