Chapter 358 Newman's Death
Last Updated:
2024-09-21 14:21:56Herman raised his glass and downed the drink in one gulp. "Refreshing!"
Not to be outdone, Newman also tilted his head back and drank his wine.
Odelia followed suit.
Herman and Yves exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Great drinking!"
The four of them ate and drank, conversing happily. Soon, Odelia and Newman started to feel the effects of the alcohol.
At that moment, everything changed. Herman, who had been acting friendly, suddenly pulled out a small dagger and lunged at Odelia.
Odelia screamed instinctively. Her scream snapped Newman out of his drunken haze. Instantly sober, he moved to shield Odelia without thinking.
Yves didn't let up either; he smashed a bottle on the table and aimed the jagged glass at Odelia's face.
The dagger plunged into Newman's chest, piercing deeply. Odelia's scream turned into a cry of agony.
Outside, the commotion had been heard, and people were rushing toward the room.

Odelia was completely unprepared for what happened next.She thought she had the Dragon Gang firmly in her grasp, but overnight, it disintegrated.After some investigation, she discovered that the Tiger Gang had made a move.Newman's death had already reached Solomon's ears. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly absorbed the remaining members of the Dragon Gang.Those who joined the Tiger Gang were secretly thrilled; following the Tiger Gang seemed far better than staying with a woman, even if she was formidable and ruthless.They saw no future with her.Especially now, with many of the Dragon Gang's leaders either dead or on the run!People are inherently practical and selfish. So when Odelia saw her former subordinates pointing guns at her, ordering her to leave the Dragon Gang, she wasn't surprised. Deep down, she had anticipated this day.After leaving the Dragon Gang, Odelia instinctively headed back to the Zigler household.

"Two thousand? Twenty thousand? Or two hundred thousand?" Flora's face grew uglier with each word!Odelia glanced coldly at her, "It's two million! And I want it in cash! Otherwise, do you expect me to go abroad and enjoy the northwest wind? Of course, you can refuse my demands. In that case, I don't mind sending certain materials to certain departments. Trust me, it won't be something you'll enjoy!""What... what do you have in your hands?" Flora asked anxiously.Odelia chuckled, "Auntie, do you think I'm foolish enough to show it to you? Don't worry, as long as I'm safe, you and uncle will be safe too. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, I have a life to live!"At this point, Flora had no choice left. But regarding what Odelia mentioned, she also needed to retrieve it. Family knows best about their own affairs.Over the years, Mayor Zigler has secretly engaged in many self-serving activities, but as the saying goes, 'Those wh

Without hesitation, she sat down right beside Flora.After a satisfying meal, Odelia finally spoke, "The money?""Don't worry, it's all ready for you. The clothes are packed in the suitcase," Flora replied, dragging out a pre-prepared box.She opened it for Odelia to inspect, who was pleased to find everything meticulously arranged inside.As she glanced at her passport, her once vibrant face in the photo contrasted starkly with the scars now marking her features, fueling her simmering resentment.Thinking Odelia was concerned about her altered appearance, Flora reassured her, "It's alright, Odelia. I've already made arrangements with the airport authorities. They won't give you any trouble."Odelia glanced at Flora in surprise, "Auntie, thank you nonetheless. Goodbye!"Flora waved her off, "We're family, no need for formalities. Let me have the driver take you to the airport."Raising an eyebrow, Odelia remarked, "Auntie, seem

"Odelia, if you wish to die, I have a thousand ways. You can continue resisting, but I have all the time in the world. Let's see who has more patience. But don't blame me for not warning you, sometimes living is scarier than dying!"For the first time, Odelia felt genuine fear from the depths of her heart. In that moment, she had thought her neck would almost be snapped!Her heart trembled, completely panicked!Odelia looked up at Lambert. The aura of hostility around him hadn't dissipated.His eyes were as cold as dead water, and his expression was so indifferent that if not for that moment of anger just now, the man standing before her might have been mistaken for a statue carved from ice!Taking a deep breath, Odelia didn't want to die just yet. Even if she did, she wanted to drag someone down with her.Her gaze lingered on Lambert's face, captivated despite his seeming gauntness, which emphasized his sharp features, making him unusually handsome."Lambert, why did you bring me her

Seeing the gleam in Lydia's eyes, Andrew felt increasingly bitter.He wasn't sure if Lydia was happy because she had heard that the real culprit had been caught, or because Lambert had promised to clear her name.One thing was certain, though—it was a good thing. The rumors circulating recently had made Lydia almost afraid to leave her house, fearing that someone emotionally charged might do something drastic.If they could clarify the truth, such incidents would hopefully cease."Lydia, I want to congratulate you in advance!"Lydia nodded, then furrowed her brow. "Andrew, why is the press conference scheduled to take place at the cliff? It doesn't seem like Lambert's style.""That is indeed peculiar."Andrew and Lambert had known each other for quite some time and didn't think Lambert was the type to do something so unconventional.Moreover, the cliff was a famous scenic spot in Nova City, renowned not only for its beauty but also for its danger—there were many accidents reported the

As Horace changed Lambert's IV drip with practiced efficiency, he spoke, "I already knew without you saying. Heard you caught Odelia and are planning a press conference. Your dad found out, right? Honestly, Lambert, even if this is what you intend, you shouldn't handle it so recklessly.""No time," Lambert replied curtly."Come on, Lydia's been misunderstood for days. What harm could another day or two do? Besides, talk to your uncle first; once he's on board, the rest will be easier."Lambert closed his eyes slightly. Horace had a point; he could afford to proceed cautiously.But he knew his father well.Since his mother's death, all warmth within him seemed buried.He resented Odelia, blamed Lydia, perhaps even blamed himself.If his father knew Odelia was in his hands, he might not agree to reveal the truth, perpetuating the rumors forever.Wasn't he gambling now, hoping his father still had a trace of compassion left? It seemed he was losing that bet."Lambert, are you listening t

The stage for the press conference was rather simple, just a makeshift platform with a few steps and plastic chairs arranged due to the strong wind.Journalists took their seats, cameras and camcorders ready.Today's conference was being broadcast live nationwide, especially concerning the truth behind Mrs. Halsey's death, capturing the attention of the entire nation.At 9:20 AM, all journalists were present, eagerly awaiting the start of the conference which was now just ten minutes away.However, Lambert, the central figure, and the woman rumored to be the murderer had yet to arrive.Meanwhile, Lambert, Odelia, and Bob were seated in a tourist cable car, admiring the beautiful scenery through the glass windows.Lambert appeared serious, while Odelia seemed in good spirits.She had even put on makeup, masking the scars on her face under thick concealer.Seeing Lambert sitting there expressionless, Odelia couldn't resist teasing, "What's this, Lambert?

Why should she follow their script when she had her own plans all along? With this thought, her gaze suddenly became resolute.From the reporters' perspective, Odelia, who was in the middle of her confession, suddenly fell silent, her eyes filling with tears.She looked at Lambert with a sorrowful gaze and began to speak in a voice neither too high nor too low, "Sorry, Lambert, we can't deceive the audience like this. I can't keep making things up. Although I love you and can do anything for you, I don't want to be misunderstood as a murderer!"Her words caused an uproar on the scene, leaving the reporters in shock."Odelia, what do you mean by that? Are you saying everything you said before was made up?""Odelia, did Mr. Halsey force you to do this?""Odelia, does this mean you didn't commit murder, and this press conference was arranged by Mr. Lambert to make you take the blame for Lydia?"Questions were thrown at Odelia, who covered her face as if she was crying.Meanwhile, viewers

Lydia couldn't shake a vague sense of melancholy, especially whenever she saw families of three dining together, strolling hand-in-hand, or playing in the park. Lambert's presence lingered in her mind; his every smile, every expression was etched clearly in her heart.It was only now that Lydia realized just how irreplaceable he had become. Lambert had cared for her meticulously, ensuring she always had a glass of water at just the right temperature or a delicious meal whenever she felt hungry. Whenever she felt tired or sleepy, he was there with his warm, gentle hands, ready to take care of everything.Unknowingly, he had become an inseparable part of her life, like air or clear water—unremarkable but indispensable.Lydia bit her lip, suddenly overcome with a longing to hear Lambert's voice. Almost instinctively, she took out her phone and dialed his number.At that moment, Lambert was in the middle of a meeting with the SA branch team. He had rushed to Nova City and gathered the com
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 607 A Tender Moment
Lydia, half-asleep, leaned into Lambert's embrace, finding a comfortable spot before drifting off completely. All her guardedness and sharpness faded away, leaving her looking as peaceful and innocent as a child. Lambert's gaze softened as he carefully carried her to the bedroom, gently lying down with her still in his arms.Lambert watched Lydia with fascination, his fingers tenderly brushing stray hairs from her forehead. He placed a gentle kiss on her brow, his eyes filled with warmth. The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, and Lambert continued to gaze at her, content just to be by her side, even if she hadn't forgiven him yet.As Lydia was in the late stages of her pregnancy, the baby inside her had become more active, often disturbing her sleep. Yet, lying in Lambert's arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security. When she stirred uncomfortably in her sleep, Lambert immediately reached over to rub her lower back. Noticing their baby's restlessness, he softly placed his han
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 606 Foot Bath for You
Lydia looked at the foot basin, her cheeks reddening slightly. This had become a routine for Lambert, who had read somewhere that foot soaks and massages could ease swelling for pregnant women. So, he made it his mission to prepare a foot bath for her every day at the same time.At first, Lydia was quite resistant, but with Lambert's persistence and Wythe's innocent pleas, she eventually gave in.Now, Lambert was crouched down, without concern for his appearance, gently removing her shoes. Seeing Lydia's noticeably swollen feet filled him with worry. Was this foot bath helping at all? Why was her swelling still so bad?It was Lambert's first time caring for a pregnant woman. He had heard of all the challenges women face during pregnancy, but witnessing it firsthand, especially with someone he loved deeply, stirred a strong, indescribable tenderness within him. He felt an overwhelming desire to protect Lydia from any pain, to the point of wishing he could bear it all himself.Lambert c

The next morning, when Wythe woke up, he found his mother looking at him with gentle eyes. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed Lydia, then nuzzled against her shoulder, seeking comfort.Lydia felt a warm flutter in her heart; her child had missed her. A wave of guilt washed over her as she stroked Wythe's little head. "Wythe, I'm sorry for not saying anything before and leaving you behind."Wythe, despite his previous frustration, had come to understand that his mother had no choice. "It's okay, Mom. I've grown up and can understand your decisions. Just promise that wherever you go, you'll take me with you.""Of course!"As they chatted warmly in the living room, Lambert stood in the kitchen, facing a daunting array of ingredients. He had done some research beforehand and learned that pregnant women needed balanced nutrition, preferably from home-cooked meals, since who knew about the hygiene of outside food?Determined to prepare a meal for Lydia, Lambert decided to cook.

Once Lydia calmed down, she realized Lambert had already come in. Given Wythe's presence, it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to leave.Seizing the moment, Wythe turned to Lydia and said, "Mom, can I stay with you tonight?"Lydia nodded without hesitation. "Of course you can! Where else would you stay?"As she spoke, she shot a glance at Lambert, her eyes clearly indicating that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible. He was just too much to deal with.Unfortunately, Lambert didn't take the hint and instead asked, "Lydia, you only have a small bed here. Wythe won't fit; I think he should stay at my place."Although it was just next door, Lambert's place was vastly different—a spacious two-hundred-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living areas, while Lydia's was only about ninety. As soon as he moved in, Lambert had redecorated one of the rooms specifically for Lydia.Before Lydia could respond, Wythe looked at

No matter how upset Lydia felt, Lambert followed her like a shadow. However, he managed to avoid any more foolish actions after their earlier confrontation, even going so far as to apologize.He was humble, hoping to cheer her up, but she remained as cold as ice, leaving him in despair."Dad, I've arrived at Y City Airport! Come pick me up!"When Lambert received Wythe's call, he felt like a savior had arrived. Ever since their argument over Lydia's job, she hadn't spoken to him at all. Initially, she wouldn't let him in, and now she didn't even open the door. If she saw it was him through the peephole, she would resolutely stay inside!With that attitude, even Lambert's best efforts were useless.Wythe's arrival was the perfect catalyst to break the deadlock. Delighted, Lambert headed straight to the airport after dropping off Lydia's meal, as usual.Meanwhile, Lydia was fuming at the sight of meals consistently hanging on her door. She cou

Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden

Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 600 The Mediator
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart
