The realization that his grandfather's death might not have been due to natural causes but could have been something more sinister made his blood boil.

He felt a surge of anger rising within him, struggling to keep his emotions in check.

"Calm down. Don't let your emotions take control of you; otherwise, it will be hard to think clearly," Tatiana said, walking beside Maxim without even glancing at him.

"I know. I'll calm down and personally catch the one who hurt Grandpa," Maxim replied, his voice steady yet cold.

"Rowena Farrel?" A young-looking nurse tilted her head, thinking for a moment before looking at Maxim and saying, "When I got here, she was already here."

"Since she's been here for so long, have you ever seen her child come to visit her?"

"Child?" The nurse seemed puzzled, but more hesitant.

She glanced at Tatiana and said, "It seems she doesn't have any children... I've been working here for a few years, and in that time, I've never seen her child come to see her. We wer

    Tatiana, caught off guard, rolled her eyes at Maxim. "Since when did you become so clingy? I just wanted to go downstairs to watch some TV. The books in your study aren’t exactly my cup of tea.”With that, Tatiana side stepped Maxim and headed down the stairs.Maxim stood there for a moment, motionless. After a few seconds, he seemed to snap back to reality and let out a helpless chuckle, perhaps acknowledging Tatiana's earlier teasing.That night, Maxim's phone didn’t ring, and Tatiana spent a quiet evening at home. The next morning, she got into Maxim's car for the ride to school.As she walked from the car to her classroom, Tatiana reflected on how she had actually slept better last night than she usually did in her apartment.Just as Tatiana was in a good mood, Anna approached her head-on, instantly dampening her spirits. Anna looked furious, and it was clear something was wrong.Before Tatiana could fully grasp the situation, Anna stood right in front of her and said, “Did you t

    When she woke up again, she checked her phone and saw that it was already past six o'clock. She got up slowly, planning to grab some dinner and wait for Maxim to come home.Just as she was happily thinking about this, she went downstairs and saw Maxim sitting on the couch, looking at his phone. Surprised to see him home so early, Tatiana wondered, "Isn't his usual work day until seven? Why is he back so soon?"Perhaps it was the intensity of Tatiana's gaze that made Maxim look up from his phone and turn his attention to her."Why are you back so early today? I was planning to wait in the living room after dinner to surprise you," Tatiana said with a sigh, realizing her plan had backfired."Did you sort things out at school?" Maxim asked as Tatiana walked closer. "I've already asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, so let's eat first."Tatiana nodded and followed him to the dining room.After they finished their meal, Tatiana suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did anyone call yo

    Meanwhile, Maxim was unaware of what was happening on that side. After hanging up the phone, he answered Tatiana's earlier question, "We won’t go bankrupt. You’ll just have to support me again.”Such shameless words slipped from his lips, causing Tatiana to roll her eyes at him as she popped a piece of fruit into her mouth.Seeing that Maxim had already booked the time for their meeting, Tatiana finished her fruit in the study and decided to leave.After a quick wash-up in her bedroom, Tatiana was about to settle down for the night when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was Tara. She got up to answer the call."Hello? Tara? Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?"There was a brief silence on the other end before Tara spoke, "Ms. Tatiana, I don't want to study here anymore.""Why not?" Tatiana asked, her voice calm as she stood up."I just can't focus here anymore." Tara sounded a bit upset, her voice hoarse. "I didn't tell the teachers because I didn't w

    "Why are you here alone?" Seeing Tara, Tatiana ended the call and walked toward her."Teacher..." When Tara saw Tatiana approaching, all the sadness she had been carrying seemed to vanish in an instant. She rushed forward and hugged Tatiana tightly, bursting into tears.“Shh, don’t cry anymore…” Tatiana said gently, looking at the girl in her arms, unsure of how to comfort her.“I’m fine now, teacher. Let’s just go back,” Tara replied, finally releasing her grip on Tatiana after she had calmed down. She offered a shy smile before continuing, “I’m ready.”“Alright, let’s grab a bite to eat first,” Tatiana said.The two of them went for a simple meal before heading back to Tatiana’s house with Taa.Once they were home, Tatiana helped Tara unpack her things, then sat down and asked, “Tara, you mentioned on your phone yesterday that you often feel like someone is following you when you’re alone, right?”Tara paused for a moment before nodding. “Yeah, but I didn’t feel that way today. I’

    Tatiana was taken aback but managed to keep her expression neutral. She shot Maxim a glare and held the pill bottle up to him. “Take a good look for yourself. Is this medicine? It’s vitamins! You must be really hoping I’m sick.”After confirming that the bottle contained vitamins and seeing Maxim's expression, which didn't seem sick at all, Tatiana decided not to mention it. Instead, he got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.What he didn’t know was that, just out of his sight, Tatiana's tense and fearful expression instantly relaxed.She placed her medication back into her bag and watched Maxim as he washed up. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, feeling a moment of relief—almost, just almost..."What are you doing?" Maxim asked, stepping out of the bathroom and noticing Tatiana standing still, looking a bit lost. He was puzzled but didn’t dwell on it. "You didn’t eat dinner last night. Aren't you hungry? I’ll go downstairs and ask the kitchen to make something you

    "You guys are here?" Hearing Tatiana call her name, Rowena turned her wheelchair around to face Maxim and Tatiana."I heard from your caregiver that you haven't been feeling well lately. Is that true?" Tatiana stepped closer to Rowena and asked.Rowena grimaced, as if to confirm Tatiana's words. "Ever since the last time you came to see me, I've felt this constant unease in my heart. I can't shake off the guilt. With how I feel, how could I possibly get better?"Maxim finally reacted, a hint of confusion crossing his face. "Guilt? What are you feeling guilty about?"Farrah's weary eyes stared ahead. When she heard Maxim's question, her expression flickered slightly, though it wasn't very noticeable on her wrinkled face. She began to speak slowly, "It's something that happened a long time ago. You both know that I'm from your grandfather's generation. I used to work as a gardener at their house. Everything was fine back then; I was young and planned to finish this job and thenmove on

    Rowena took the tissue and slowly shook her head at Tatiana. "These thoughts have been in my mind for too long. No one has come to see me, and I don't know who else to talk to. Now that you’re here, I want to share this with you."Tatiana felt a sense of helplessness and nodded at Rowena. "Alright then, if you can't hold it in, you can take a break for a moment."Rowena truly took a moment to breathe, watching the sun rise slowly outside before continuing, "I never told her about my relationship with George, and I asked George not to be too nice to me in front of her. Even when Cordelia asked me for help, I started assisting her. I told her what George liked to eat and what books she enjoyed. And so, time just passed by.”"But there was one thing that got exposed. Cordelia confessed her feelings to George without my knowledge. Because of Cordelia, George and I haven't had any intimate moments lately; I was afraid of being discovered by Cordelia. I never expected that Cordelia would

    That was a pretty remote place, and Maxim frowned slightly.Having asked what they wanted to know, neither of them felt like lingering any longer. After chatting casually for a bit, they decided it was time to leave.Just as they were about to walk out, Tatiana suddenly remembered something. "So, what happened to Cordelia and George?”Rowena paused for a moment, then spoke with a hint of resentment, "They ended up together, got married, and even had kids, while I...""Weren't you married later on?" Tatiana raised an eyebrow, curious."I had two kids once, but they both died because of Cordelia..." As she said this, Rowena suddenly broke down, her anger toward Cordelia palpable. "That bitch! I treated her like a good friend, and she poisoned my water! She killed my child and Geroge's child... my baby..."Tatiana frowned, not knowing what to say. She exchanged a glance with Tatiana, ready to leave. As they stepped outside and saw a caregiver approaching, she thought for a moment and

    Three days later—The first thing Tatiana saw when she opened her eyes was a blanket of white. After a few moments of confusion, she blinked and slowly turned her head to look around, realizing she was in a hospital.Before she could take in her surroundings, she heard the sound of a door opening. Turning toward the noise, she saw Maxim walking in.When Maxim saw Tatiana awake and looking at him, he felt a rush of excitement. He quickly approached her and asked,"You’re finally awake! How do you feel? Is there anywhere that still hurts?"Tatiana slowly shook her head, wanting to speak, but her throat was dry and raspy. Instead, she looked at Maxim, hoping he would understand that she needed water.Fortunately, Maxim got the hint. He smiled at her and hurried over to pour a glass of warm water. After helping her drink, Tatiana felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I’m fine. How long was I out?""Three days," Maxim replied, his eyes filled with an emotion she couldn't quite place.Emo

    With that thought, Riley quickly left those people behind.Tatiana, on the other hand, was unaware of Riley's situation. She stood facing the assassin in front of her, her expression icy."Miss, we hope you can leave this place. We don't want to harm you; we just need you to leave that man behind. We assure you, you can leave here safely."These people had been here for a long time, trying to persuade Tatiana to leave. Their boss had ordered that she couldn't be harmed, but they couldn't understand why this woman refused to budge. They had been standing there for what felt like ages.Realizing that convincing Tatiana was futile, the leader turned his attention to Mazim. "Maxim, are you still a man? Hiding behind a woman?”Maxim pressed his hand against his shoulder, his face pale from blood loss. He managed a weak smile and replied, "Better than being unprotected like you."Though he said that, deep down, he hoped Tatiana would leave soon. He didn't know how long they could mainta

    Crushing the herbs and applying them to the wound, then bandaging it up was all she could do for now. After tending to his injury, he looked at Tatiana and said, "You need to get out of here quickly. They’re not after you, and they won’t chase you. Find a way back and get someone to rescue me."Tatiana replied, "By then, it won’t be about saving you; it’ll just be about collecting your body."Seeing Maxim’s pale face, Tatiana insisted, "I’m not leaving. It was my idea to come here, and I won’t just abandon you.""Why are you being so foolish?" Maxim's lips curled into a slight smile. In such a dire situation, all he wanted was for Tatiana to leave.She was the girl he liked, and he wanted her to be safe, away from this suffering. But why, upon realizing she wouldn’t leave, did he feel even more touched and reluctant to let her go?"I’m not foolish. I’m with you, and we’re married—even if it’s just pretend. We’re friends, right?" Tatiana said, helping Maxim to his feet as they slowly

    The man didn’t even have time to react before he collapsed unconscious.The commotion drew attention, and all eyes turned toward Tatiana.“Run!” Tatiana shouted, grabbing Maxim’s hand and sprinting toward the nearby trees.Her shout jolted everyone awake, and the leader yelled for the others to pursue both of them.As Tatiana saw that they were about to disappear from sight, the leader at the front suddenly darkened his expression. He quickly pulled out something and fired a shot toward Maxim.Tatiana turned around just in time to witness this scene, and immediately grabbed Maxim, trying to switch places with him. But little did she know, Maxim had also spotted the bullet heading his way.The leader initially thought the bullet might miss Maxim since the woman beside him was ready to take the hit, but to his surprise, her didn’t let her take the bullet for him.“Bang—”The sound of the gunshot echoed, startling the birds perched in the trees, sending them flying off into the distance

    Moreover, John had sent someone to wait for them so early. If they hadn't arrived earlier, and had waited until later to come, things would have been even more complicated.With these thoughts in mind, Maxim felt even more determined. Once they were out of here, he would make sure to pull John down from his position as soon as possible. Someone like him didn’t deserve to be in the company.He believed that his grandfather would never allow such a person to be part of the company either.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting bright rays that pierced Tatiana's eyes. She blinked a few times, slowly waking up.As she looked around, her mind began to piece together the events of the previous day. At that moment, Maxim also stirred awake as Tatiana shifted away from his shoulder.He had barely slept at all last night, finally drifting off only as morning approached.Tatiana stood up and checked her phone, only to find there was still no signal. She turned to Max

    "The place ahead is Sylvia's home. Do you think they might not be looking for us and instead have gone to kill them?""No way, these assassins are all managed by someone. They only target their assignments and won't harm anyone else, so we need to protect ourselves first." Tatiana said this without a hint of hesitation, but then she realized that as a young lady, she probably shouldn't know about such things.Thinking this, Tatiana cautiously glanced at Maxim. His expression didn’t seem strange, so he likely hadn’t caught on to what she was implying. With that thought, she quietly sighed in relief; otherwise, she would have to find a way to explain everything, which would only complicate matters. She didn’t want Maxim to get dragged into this mess.With that in mind, Tatiana said, "Let’s stop talking about this and get out of here. We can’t stay for long, and we can’t be sure they won’t come back.”As she spoke, she tugged on Maxim's shirt and led him toward the exit. However, as she

    As he spoke, Maxim glanced outside at the darkening sky. They had already wasted too much time, and they couldn't afford to linger any longer. They weren't familiar with the area, and it was best to get back to their car before it was completely dark. Otherwise, they might find it impossible to return.Tatiana understood his concerns and frowned as she looked at the weather outside. "Let's go talk to the old lady about this. If all goes well, we can leave right away. We can bring Sylvia and Marianna back with us when we return the notebook. Right now, going back is too risky."Sylvia and Marianna had only gone out a few years ago. Tatiana thought that it wouldn’t be right to leave them behind while taking Grandma alone, so her initial plan was to bring all three of them back together. However, it was clear that they couldn’t take Grandma on such a journey now. At her age, it wouldn’t be good for her to travel those long distances. They decided that once they returned the book, they

    “She left when she was very young, and I don’t know much about it,” the old woman said, shaking her head as she looked at Tatiana. “But I haven’t dared to go into her room all these years, so I don’t know what’s inside. There might be something valuable in there. I have the key; you can go take a look.”Sitting on the stool, the old woman had thought it through. These two didn’t seem like bad people, and sharing this information with them wouldn’t hurt. Maybe they could even find the killer of Cordelia. After all, so many years had passed,and she had come to terms with it. The most important thing for her now was Sylvia and Marianna. So, for their sake, she decided to open the room today.Tatiana was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected the old woman to be so accommodating, but this could indeed lead to more information. Feeling grateful, Tatiana smiled at the old woman and said, “If you don’t want to go in, you don’t have to. We won’t disturb anything inside.”The old woman stood

    The elderly woman knew she was putting them in a tough spot, but she felt she had no choice. This was her only hope after all these years. She couldn’t afford to send her children to school herself, so she had to push for this arrangement. For her kids, she was willing to take the risk.The old man's request was something Tatiana hadn't expected. She thoughthe would ask for wealth or something similar, but it was just about reading books? Was that all?Tatiana appeared somewhat dazed, which seemed to signal to the old man that she was reluctant to give up this opportunity. So she quickly added, "You don't have to feel hesitant. Just take her out. All you need to do is cover some necessary expenses, and consider it a loan. Once they have the ability to earn money, they will definitely come back to repay you. I promise."This time, even though Tatiana hadn't fully processed the situation, Maxim had. He looked at the old man and calmly said,"No need.""What?" The old woman was momentar
