However, when Lambert took a bite of the noodles, his face instantly changed. What was this? It tasted worse than poison! It turned out that Lydia, in her sleepy haze, had mistaken sugar for salt and added it to the noodles. A bowl of what should have been perfectly normal noodles had turned into a sickly sweet, sugary mess.
Lambert's eye twitched as he was about to explode in anger, but then he noticed Lydia, sitting across from him, had nodded off, her head bobbing as she fell asleep again. In the soft light, her sleeping face looked especially serene. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen her so peaceful.
"Lydia, Lydia..." Lambert sighed softly, setting down his chopsticks and walking over to her side, gently calling her name.
But Lydia was sound asleep, oblivious even when Lambert picked her up. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, a pang of guilt flashed through Lambert's heart. It was clear that she was truly exhausted, and he knew he was the o
Lydia found it almost unbelievable that Verna, despite her sharp tongue, had never actually done anything malicious. It wasn't that Lydia had some sort of masochistic tendency, but rather, it seemed that every woman around Lambert had always tried to sabotage her. Meeting someone like Verna, who had the same status as Lambert but such a likable personality, made Lydia reluctantly admit that they were a perfect match.This realization only deepened Lydia's sorrow. Could it be that there was really no way for her and Lambert to go back to the way things were?While Lydia was tormented by these painful thoughts, Verna, who had been dragged into this situation by Lambert as a shield, was also suffering. That morning, after completing her usual role as the "evil supporting actress," Verna couldn't help but complain to Lambert."Lambert, is this really okay? Aren't you worried that Lydia will be so heartbroken that she'll never want anything to do with you again?"
"Keep quiet! Or don't blame me if I scar that pretty little face of yours! But, you know, it's really strange—looking like that, how did you manage to get Lambert so wrapped around your finger? It's enough to make anyone jealous!"Sibyl narrowed her eyes, looking incredibly dangerous at that moment.Lydia's heart raced with fear. Her phone was still in her pocket, and she hoped she could make a call for help. She felt a small surge of relief that the women holding her down had unknowingly pressed her hand against the pocket, allowing her fingers to slip inside.To avoid drawing Sibyl's attention, Lydia spoke up, "Miss Sibyl, there's really no deep grudge between us, right? What you're doing is illegal!"She tried to remain calm, hoping to reason with her captor."Lydia, even at death's door, you're still talking back. Do you really think I'll just let go of what happened before?""What do you want from me?" Lydia's voice trembled.Just as Sibyl was about to reply, one of the women beh
Lambert quickly made a call to inquire whether Sibyl was still at the company. As expected, she had left early!Left early? How convenient. Lambert sneered, convinced that her early departure was just a cover for kidnapping Lydia.He was now certain of it. He had kept this woman around to avoid alerting others at the company about his plans to reorganize internally. But now, he regretted it deeply, as it had given these people an opportunity to harm Lydia. Anger and frustration gnawed at Lambert.Lambert quickly identified his target and found footage of Sibyl and a few others outside the parking lot, including an unconscious Lydia.Seeing this, Lambert's expression turned grim, and Verna was equally shocked. "These people are really bold. But where could they have taken her?"Lambert's eyes darkened, a chilling coldness seeping through. He thought for a moment, then swiftly got up and headed out of the office."Lambert, where are you going?""To find her!"Verna hesitated for a momen
Due to the effects of the drug, Lydia's voice had become soft and seductive. Coupled with the flirtatious glances she deliberately cast, the two men in charge of filming exchanged knowing looks and broke into lecherous grins."I thought you were all pure and innocent, but it turns out you're one of us. How do you want to play this?" one of them asked."First, untie me, won't you? It's no fun playing like this," Lydia responded coyly."You're not planning to make a run for it, are you?" one of the men asked suspiciously.Lydia answered with a soft, enticing tone, "Even if I wanted to run, where could I go? Besides, I'm too weak to move. I'm just hoping you gentlemen will take good care of me. Even if you let me go, I wouldn't want to leave."Her words sent waves of excitement through the men. The one with buckteeth eagerly untied the ropes around Lydia's wrists, while another man freed her legs. The thinnest of the three hesitated, expressing concern. "Are you sure about this? Sibyl to
"Play, my ass! We're screwed! Hurry up and untie yourself—she's escaped!""What? She got away?"The bucktoothed man quickly tore off the shirt that had been covering his eyes, only to see the skinny guy collapsed on the ground, clutching his groin in pain, groaning so pitifully it made him wince just hearing it.The burly man shouted angrily, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and untie me!""Oh, right..." The bucktoothed man fumbled, his hands shaking as he tried to untie the rope. But Lydia had anticipated needing to escape, so she'd made sure to knot the rope tightly. When the burly man saw Lydia making a run for it earlier, he had panicked and struggled hard, making the knot even tighter. Despite the bucktoothed man's efforts, the knot refused to budge."You idiot! What the hell are you doing? I told you to untie me, not make it tighter!""I'm trying! But this knot is too tight! Maybe I should just go after her first? If Sibyl finds out she got away, we're all dead!""Forg
In a luxurious hotel, Lydia hurriedly searched for the room number on her phone. She had long golden hair, dressed in a black dress. Unlike her usual preference for a natural look, she wore light makeup today.Her beautiful and gentle face was adorned with a faint smile of happiness, her heart beating wildly, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.Today was Lydia and her husband Ron's first wedding anniversary, a very important day for Lydia. Because today, she would truly become Ron's wife!Yes, although Lydia had been married to Ron for a year, they hadn't had any intimate contact yet. Ron's attitude towards her had always been lukewarm, which made her feel uneasy.But yesterday, Ron suddenly called and invited her for a date. She believed that everything would be different from today onwards!Standing at the door of room 306, Lydia took a deep breath, tidied her slightly messy hair, and smiled as she raised her hand to knock on the door.The door opened, revealing a familiar and h
Lydia subconsciously reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve. Her vision began to blur, and she felt like a drowning person grasping onto a floating reed unwilling to let go.Lambert lowered his head and saw a pair of stubborn yet bewildered eyes. The woman's face was flushed suspiciously, her torn strap and her current expression made Lambert quickly understand the situation.She must have been drugged!Seeing Lambert's furrowed brow, the bodyguard standing not far behind him quickly stepped forward, pulling the woman who was still grabbing onto his clothes away. At the same time, he broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he had just failed in his duty.His boss was not someone to be trifled with. Those who offended him usually had only one outcome: death."Bit*h, stop right there!" The man with a hand covering his head came over, and upon seeing Lambert standing in front of Lydia, he angrily questioned, "Who are you? Mind your own business!"Lambert's expression darkened, and he orde
The morning sunlight streamed through the window mullions, casting gentle rays onto the hotel's large bed, adding a peaceful aura to the sleeping woman. Lydia was awakened by the sound of the phone, slowly opening her eyes to find herself unclothed. Her head still felt heavy with sleep, but her current situation sparked a subconscious sense of fear.After a series of annoying phone rings, she heard a sexy, husky voice, "Hello? It's me!"The unfamiliar voice startled Lydia awake from her daze. Memories of her unconscious state flooded back, causing her fair face to instantly drain of color! She seemed to have been drugged yesterday! And apparently ended up in bed with a stranger!Lydia's expression was filled with uncertainty. She had been celebrating her wedding anniversary with Ron yesterday. How could a sleazy man break in, and that glass of red wine felt suspicious.A thought kept recurring in Lydia's mind, but she couldn't bring herself to believe it. She took a deep breath, bitin
