People couldn't be pushed around like this.Zade didn't know how to comfort her, so he decided to stay by her side, fearing that something would happen to her again.Jessamine's voice was hoarse from crying. She croaked, "Zade, do you have any criminal contacts?"Zade glanced at the two napping security guards warily. "Let's talk about this when we get home, Jessie."Jessamine's clothes were still wet, so Zade had covered her with a coat. She slowly sat up, holding the bedrest, and said, "Get a few people for me. I'll pay you however much you want."Zade became stern. "Jessie, we can't do anything illegal."Jessamine's eyes were red, and her fingers were injured from digging in the soil. Zade didn't even know if it was paint or blood. He felt the pain just looking at it."Jessie, I should bring you to the hospital."Most people wouldn't be able to handle this much shock, let alone a pregnant woman like her.After some persuasion and comfort, Zade finally managed to bring her t
"You haven't recovered from your cold yet?" Thaddeus asked tentatively, walking over to her. But when he saw her bandaged hands, he became gloomy. "What happened to your hands?"Jessamine didn't want to talk to him. His first love was the reason for everything she had suffered. If he hadn't been flaky and given Amy this much leeway, Amy wouldn't have committed such vile actions every time.Shane stepped forward and shielded Jessamine behind him. He stared Thaddeus down and said, "You've got a lot of nerve to ask that. You should ask your dear mistress about her oh-so-valiant deeds."Thaddeus frowned. He had put Amy on house arrest. Shane was making baseless accusations."I wasn't asking you. Get out here, Jessamine!" Thaddeus yelled at Jessamine, showing an air of superiority.Jessamine was silent and walked out from behind Shane. "Thaddeus, let's finalize our divorce. You must have a way to get past the grace period. I can't take this anymore. I beg of you!" she said weakly, begg
"Cut the crap and take good care of those hands. I want to see you give Thirsty Ted hell," Shane said.Jessamine chuckled and said, "I don't need my hands for that!"She hadn't slept all night, so her mind was groggy. Everyone had their limits, and she had reached hers. She was afraid that something would happen to her babies. "Shane, I want to take a nap."Shane nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll get out of your hair. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me. This lady will be here with you. Remember not to get your wounds wet."After giving her a string of instructions, he finally left, and the ward fell silent. Jessamine had a lot on her mind, but she forced herself to rest. She still had a battle ahead of her.Meanwhile, Thaddeus walked out of Thomas' ward and went to the nurse's station near Jessamine's ward. "Who's the attending doctor for the patient in room 1206?" he asked. The nurse was stunned. It was rare to meet a handsome visitor like him, so she couldn't hel
After Jessamine gave her orders, the four men acted separately as two teams.Meanwhile, Margaret was getting a facial in a beauty salon. Noticing the lights in the room had gone dim, she asked the beautician, "Are you sure you can work in the dark like this? You'd better not use the wrong products on my face."However, she didn't get a reply to her question. Instead, someone put a black sack over her head."Come with us, old hag," a cold male voice rang out in the salon. Margaret was so scared that her legs turned to jelly. "W-Who the hell are you people?"Before she could ask any more questions, they forced a sock into her mouth. She whimpered as they carried her to a car at the back door. The thugs didn't even let her wear any shoes. Margaret was so frightened that she was about to wet herself.She didn't know who kidnapped her or where she was being taken. With her head covered, her mouth gagged, and her hands tied, all she could do was whimper.Her fear was overwhelming h
The man's words gave Margaret a reminder. She said, "I have money if you want it. My husband runs a company. He can give you money in exchange for me. So, please don't hurt me."The man said with a smile, "Are you sure he'll be willing to spend a large amount of money for an old hag who's near death? One of the best things that can occur in life is your spouse dying in middle age. He might as well use that money on a younger woman instead."Margaret immediately fell into despair. She didn't have much faith in Colin. That selfish bastard only cared about himself. In this case, he might not even exchange all the wealth he had accumulated to save her, his middle-aged wife.…Meanwhile, Amy was causing trouble as usual. Upon discovering that Clara hadn't told Thaddeus about her sneaking out the day before, Amy convinced Clara to go for a walk together. She felt stifled being indoors.Amy wasn't sick at all, but she was being looked after as if she had a serious heart condition. All he
When Thaddeus arrived at the scene, Clara had already called the security guards over. The fire department had also arrived.This artificial lake was concave, with shallow edges and deeper waters the further they went. Since they hadn't found Amy after a long time, she most likely had sunk to the bottom of the lake. Therefore, they needed to drain the lake. Everyone began to work in haste.Clara looked at Thaddeus as if he was her savior. "I'm sorry, Mr. Holt. I-I didn't take good care of her. Ms. Quilton said she was bored staying in the house and wanted to come out for some fresh air. "I thought nothing would happen in the neighborhood, so I followed her out. When I went upstairs to get some snacks, Ms. Quilton was gone."Clara burst into tears from fear. She had messed up when caring for the Holt family's future successor. She felt as if everything was about to fall apart. She had never made such a huge mistake in her years of working for the Holt family.Thaddeus remain
"You'll find out when it gets dark," Grim said. "Oh, I wonder if you're afraid of ghosts. I'll take you to meet some later."Amy looked horrified when she heard his words. "What the hell are you talking about? There's no such thing as ghosts."She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, so she dared not watch thriller movies, let alone supernatural films. Right now, she was worried that these men might bring her and Magaret into a haunted house.Then, the sun began to set, dyeing the sky red. Soon, the sky turned dark.A man put out his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it. He asked, "It's almost time, guys. Should we get ready now?""Let's do this."Amy and Margaret were petrified. Since the men had kidnapped them and waited until night to take action, they were definitely up to no good. Were they going to kill them after taking advantage of them?Margaret was so terrified that she couldn't walk at all. She had even wet herself.However, Amy was some
Margaret felt sorry for her precious daughter and wanted to hug her, but her limbs were bound. She couldn't move at all and could only remain on her knees. "Don't be afraid, Amy," she said. "I'm here with you. I'm always on your side."Amy cried even harder. "Mom. Mom, I see a light in the distance. Are we about to die now?"Margaret glanced at it and said comfortingly, "No, Amy. Don't look at it."…The leader chuckled, "Let's go, guys. We shouldn't stop them from atoning their sins."After that, the four men passed through the densely packed graves toward the exit of the cemetery. They heard the pitiful cries of the two women behind them, along with a few hoots of the owls from time to time. The noises sounded scary in the empty suburbs. Even the four men felt chills run down their spines.Grim cursed, "Fuck! I wouldn't have dared to do this job if that lady hadn't paid me so much. This is so fucking scary."The four men couldn't help but quicken their pace.Meanwhile, a
