A little more than five minutes had passed and the two were finally on their way to the laboratory. They left a minute after the woman Paul called arrived. They no longer knew what took place thereafter. But Agatha's face was cold. She was already away from the pest, but her mood did not recover. The girl couldn't forget what that fierce female elitist had said when she turned to Paul and saw her behind him.
'Cradle-snatcher.'
Yes, that was what that whoever beautiful fiancee of Marc Goldwin called Paul. A cradle-snatcher, a person married or in a sexual relationship with someone younger. The woman must be of a great standing if she could speak to him like this. Great for her. But the female immoral host didn't like that this newcomer called him that. While this could be said true due to him being six or seven years older than her, because that woman's tone was clearly full of disdain, Agatha couldn't get it out of her mind and her heart was very
As Agatha was in the middle of her own emotional turmoil, her system also did not let this opportunity to slip and gladly reminded her that without him, the great and exalted system, she would have never had a chance to experience standing in front of those higher-ups or stand next to a Paul McArthney and be recognized as a daughter of a fairly influential family. It enumerated every reason it could think of why she was nothing compared to Brienne. However, Agatha was too preoccupied with something she couldn't name, so she didn't respond to it. Anyway, the girl already understood what it wanted to tell her long ago so instead of having herself be incensed by its words, she only told herself that she couldn't let things continue this way.'No! He's the only one I have. I can't lose him too!'She thought as she secretly bit her lower lip.'That Brienne is luckily already engaged to someone.''But what if in the fut
Meanwhile, Paul, who was watching the scene in front, asked,"Before this, did your people do surgery on her?"Lauren immediately replied,"Oh? Now that you asked this, yeah. We did. This morning, we took out her kidneys. And it's two, if you're thinking of one. And guess what? We just found out," she paused, grimacing for a second, "...my mistake, I mean, confirmed that she could regenerate body parts!"Gone was the annoyance in the woman's face after saying this. Only extreme excitement was there. Lauren was like a kid who discovered a very magical world in an amusement park. Verifying that there was really someone who could heal without the support of the current science and technology marveled her so much. The woman's body was radiating madness and happiness. Her eyes sparkled in anticipation of what more mysteries she'd discover inside this fine specimen's body. Of course, her number one priority was to discover how the specimen regener
A tall but lanky young man walked into a relatively populated supermarket located near the biggest church in the city. He was wearing a gray long sleeve shirt which hung loosely from his shoulders, a pair of blue fitting denim, and a pair of slightly worn out rubber shoes. His eyes lacked enthusiasm and luster on it. Paired with how the edges of his lips were pulled downwards as he looked around and unwillingly marched towards the vegetable stand, everyone looking at him could easily guess that he was a son forced by his mother to buy the groceries.Since the guy was quite a looker, not few turned their heads over their shoulders to glance at his direction. Of course, not many stayed their eyes at him since he was not the drop-dead handsome kind yet. But those who continue looking, mostly the mothers whose hobby was to scan every place for any future husband material for their daughters, stared at him in amazement due to his practiced and accurate picking of fre
The long-haired woman dressed in a fancy blue dress looked very frail and pitiful as she cried soundlessly next to his bike. This was especially so after he saw some sparkling tears slipping from her hand, dropping to the ground. No normal man would be able to endure looking at this pitiful sight. The woman was very hard to ignore because as she cried, she seemed like a small wounded furry animal. Eithan couldn't help but look around, consequently noticing that in this side of the road, other than him and this girl, no one was around. He sported a troubled expression again because he didn't know whether he should poke his head into this woman's business. As he reached out to his bicycle's handlebar, he felt caught in a dilemma. He was now standing so close to the crying woman, his eyes showing confusion and other complex emotions.Out of a sudden, the woman wiped the tears from her eyes and removed the hands covering her face. Although only the side of the face
"Second Miss?"A female dressed in a white sleeveless blouse and black slacks came to the woman's side and asked, concern and worry mixed in her inquisitive tone. The young woman staring at the direction Eithan went to did not immediately reply to her, prolonging the mental agony of the other. The assistant was quite fidgety because it was not an everyday chance to see this rich Missy getting dumbfounded like this. Yet every time the young miss does, there would be tons of jobs or heartache waiting for her, the assistant. The slightly dreaded came true. When the young woman in yellow dress recovered from her daze, she furrowed her brows for so long before turning to the person who rushed to her side,"Miss Aura."The beautiful actress wannabe blinked her large hazel eyes and said in a soft voice,"I'm confused. What gave it away to him? I thought I'm doing it properly because no one before him did not
Meanwhile..."Son, I'm glad you're back!"After Eithan parked the bicycle next to his father's white old model car, he picked up the bags of groceries and paper bag containing the cough medicine. That was when his father's voice rang loudly from the porch to the parking space. As he strode into the house, he nodded to the other man in the house then walked straight into the kitchen situated on the living room's right side.The new home for the Meyer family was in a community village located Southeast of Jasper City. This was where cheaper and affordable houses could be found. If he remembered correctly, this house was already the last one on sale and they were lucky to have bought it. Aside from its price to area ratio, the other good thing about their new residence was its security. This village was like a subdivision, but there were proper guards stationed at the various entrances and exits of the whole community. The guards were not mere muscle-bodied decorat
When the two came out of Lauren Walker's mansion, the darkness of the night had already fully blanketed the world, or at least, their part of the world. She was only oblivious to this due to being busy with the meetings and discussions. Now, up above, aside from the never-ending stretch of dark blue that was almost black, she could also see the crescent moon peeking through the tall trees surrounding the residence. Its magnificent and conspicuous presence in the sky was just another reminder that it was indeed already nighttime.Alarmed by how she didn't feel the passage of time, letting the evening caught up with them inside Lauren's laboratory, she asked the system for the exact time. Her lips slightly parted when said it was already past 8 pm. She wondered how all those talks wasted more than two hours of their lives. Next to her, Paul also glanced at his wristwatch. Not long after, he turned his head her way and said,"I know a fine restaurant near he
The death of a girl mutilated by bullets caused a bit of wave in the country. Those who knew her raised a fuss. Aggrieved, they pressured the authorities to search for whoever did this to her. Among these people, her family was naturally the most aggressive. Her friends and fans from the same school also joined the cause and began to plan how they'd petition for justice for their deceased campus beauty. Each of them badly wanted to know which heartless devil caused her to die like this and for what reason. Of course, even if there happens to be a reason, they would still badly want to make that devil rot in jail, if not in hell.Unfortunately, no matter how well-known she was in HCA as a campus goddess or in the city as a musician, the wave caused by her death was still small. Aside from those who really knew her, the rest chose to move on in their lives and think of what would happen to their tomorrow. In other words, everyone not related to her only sighed and lit some imag
