Amber said apologetically, “He’s really my boyfriend, Baxter. Thank you for helping me out of a pinch just now. We’ll repay you by treating you to a meal next time.”

Then, she proceeded to explain everything to Brandon, “This is Baxter. He saved me earlier. He only said he was my boyfriend to keep me safe. We were waiting for you.”

Baxter looked at Amber intensely. He turned around without another word and left, as though he had been hurt deeply. The bodyguards followed after him.

Amber longed to take off after him. She wanted to explain everything to him, but she just couldn’t!

Brandon was displeased, “Who the hell is he?”

She said, “I don’t think he’s from around here. We barely know each other. It was pure coincidence I ran into him just now. Zayn would’ve had his way with me if it wasn’t for him. What took you so long? I was almost scared to death!”

She dove right into his chest pitifully.

“It’s alright. Everything’s fine. Let’s go home.” With that, he was about to take Am

  • Reign of the Uncontrollable Wife   Chapter 118 Elliot Makes the Omelet

    Today was her last day in the Patton Mansion. As usual, she woke up in his embrace. Ever since she slept with him on the same bed, insomnia hasn’t been as common. She could sleep through several hours. This had never happened in the past. She was still in his arms when she woke up. It looked like she hadn’t moved an inch from where she fell asleep last night. His arms rested on her waist, giving off a sense of intimacy. Opening her eyes slightly, she pushed him away.That woke him up. He opened his eyes slowly. Sleepiness still clouded his eyes. The usual animosity was all but absent. Even his voice was exceptionally soft, “What time is it?”Sophia said, “It’s just half past five. You should go back to sleep.” She rose and went away to freshen up herself and change clothes. She came out of the bathroom to find him gone. Not really bothered by it, she went downstairs. She thought she’d see him in the living room, but he was nowhere to be seen either. It was too early. Not even the

    Robert was still in the middle of his thoughts when he heard someone calling out to him. He said to Sophia hurriedly, “Go ahead and unwrap your presents, Ms. Sophia. I need to go back to work. Just holler if you need me.”Sophia wasn’t really bothered by that. She walked into the room slowly. Not in a hurry to open the presents, she withheld the surroundings and took a seat. There were wines and cakes on the table, as well as ropes, whips, and candles.Her lips twitched a little. She was exasperated. What was this stuff? Why would Xena prepare so much stuff for her when she was alone?However, she couldn’t deny that it felt good someone remembered her birthday. Rising up, she decided to unwrap her birthday presents now so she could get back home sooner. She had always celebrated her birthday with Grandma every year and this year was no exception. She couldn’t help it if Elliot forgot about her birthday. Anyhow, she ate the omelet this morning. Perhaps that could count as a celebra

  • Reign of the Uncontrollable Wife   Chapter 120 What Are You Doing Here, Elliot?

    Sophia was stunned. Didn’t she close the door properly? Taking a few brisk steps, she closed the door tight and turned to the guys, “How long have they been there?”One of the men said, “Some of them have been there since the beginning. Then, more people gathered over time.”That was a punch in her gut. If that many people saw her private room, one of them might just upload what they saw onto the internet. She wasn’t exactly worried about the others, just him…That thought alarmed her. If he knew she was with six guys in a room, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself. Fiddling with her phone, she projected her phone screen onto her computer and started scouring the internet. “You guys may leave now.”The six of them looked at each other and said, “We haven’t celebrated your birthday, Ms. Soph.”“Forget about it.” She said hurriedly. She didn’t have the time for them. No one had uploaded anything onto the internet for now, but that didn’t mean she’d be safe later. After all, s

    Sophia came out of the bar and happened to see Elliot's car driving out. She slapped her forehead in annoyance, waved and hailed a taxi to chase after the car.The driver glanced at Sophia in the rearview mirror multiple times. “Young lady, who are you chasing after? The people living in the villa are not ordinary folks. You better think through whatever you're planning. You might even risk your life.”Sophia was not in the mood for conversation with the driver and just mumbled, “I know.”However, the driver became more enthusiastic as he continued, “I'm not kidding you. Especially Mr. Patton from Villa No. 8. His methods are extremely cruel. I've heard that women who were taken in never came out alive. They were all tortured to death by him, and each death was horrifying.”Sophia frowned, “Did you witness this yourself?”The driver replied, “No, I didn't. I just heard about it. But many people have seen it and talked about it vividly. But I'm not someone who likes to stir up trou

    Elliot looked at her, staring as if asking, " Is that all? Do you think I believe you?"Sophia's anger surged, but considering how much effort he had put into preparing her birthday, she patiently explained, "Why don't you believe me again? It was truly the gift she gave me! She didn't know I was married. We didn't do anything."Elliot gazed at her deeply, as if trying to see into her heart. "So, it was just pure conversation during that one hour and forty minutes in the room?"Sophia's temper, albeit small, was hard to contain. “Elliot, do you have to paint such a dirty picture of me? Our agreement is to not interfere with each other. I've explained, so what more do you want?""Don't bring up that damned agreement with me," Elliot roared. "I admit it can exist or not. Sophia, a marriage certificate means nothing to you. How much weight do you think that piece of paper holds?"Sophia, furious, exclaimed, "What do you mean, Elliot? Are you trying to back out?"Elliot's gaze grew i

    Sophia turned her head away to ignore him. She was clearly still upset.Elliot sat closer to her, opened the jewelry box, and took out what was inside. Sophia was drawn to it. It was a pink bracelet, not too intricate in design, with just a few heart-shaped diamonds connected, but they shimmered brightly. Moreover, the diamonds were pink, indicating their worth. Though she might not be very knowledgeable about jewelry, she knew pink diamonds were valuable.She glanced at Elliot. "When did you buy this?"Elliot did not respond but directly placed it on her wrist. The bracelet's clasp had 'ES' connected, which were the initials of their names!He did it on purpose, wondering when she would notice."A while ago," he replied calmly only after making sure it was worn properly.Sophia toyed with the bracelet on her wrist. "Birthday gift?"Elliot looked at her and asked, "Do you like it?"Sophia snorted playfully. "You've ruined my perfectly good birthday. How can I be in the mood

    Elliot was taken aback, about to examine her closely when she opened her eyes, blew out the candles, and mischievously winked at him."Done," she said."How many wishes did you make?" he asked."Twenty!" she replied.Elliot chuckled. "Why so many?""One wish per year! I never used to make wishes before, so I'm catching up today.”Her casual remark stirred something inside Elliot. "You never celebrated your birthday before?""We did, just with a simple meal. There were no birthday cakes. Later, as I grew up, we had birthday cakes but never made wishes!"Elliot turned on the lights, picked up the cake knife, and cut a beautifully presented piece of cake for her. "Try this."Sophia took it, pierced a piece with a fork, and tasted it. The perfect blend of cream and chocolate exploded in her mouth, delighting her taste buds. "Delicious!"He smiled and poured a glass of wine for her and himself. Raising his glass, he said, "Happy birthday, Soph."Sophia raised her glass and clinke

    Sophia rested her hand on the table, gazing at him with a mischievous smile. "You're way more handsome than them."Elliot's gaze turned slightly chilly. "Who?" He would take offense if she compared him to those gifts.With a smitten look, Sophia continued, "More handsome than anyone. Those men tonight put together aren't as handsome as you."She squeezed his arm. "Or as sexy."Elliot was speechless. Well, she barely passed this round.Sophia frowned. "But you can't dance! Today's my birthday, and they danced for me. How about you sing me a happy birthday song!""I can't sing.""Stop lying." Sophia pouted. "Who doesn't know how to sing? Sing for me, please!"Her soft, coquettish tone was like a small bug worming its way into his body, ticklish and tingling. Even the gaps between his bones felt itchy. Elliot felt his Adam's apple rolling, somehow finding it hard to resist.He did not expect this tipsy little lady to be like this. However, singing in front of some servants was so

    “Ah, no!” Sophia instinctively reached out to catch it, but the phone narrowly missed her fingers. So, she just watched as he tossed the telephone into the bushes.Sophia was infuriated. "Brother, you haven't sung for me yet?"Kyle looked at her. "Time's up.""Time's up for what? You big liar."As she spoke, she balled her fists and attacked him.Although she was no match for Kyle in martial arts, he couldn't fight her in such a confined space. So, Kyle found himself somewhat helpless in this narrow space.He grabbed both her hands with his big hands and pinned her legs with his, leaving Sophia unable to move her limbs.Frustrated, she aimed her head at Kyle and lunged forward. Kyle instinctively dodged. Sophia's little head directly hit his chest.Thud.It felt like a forty-pound hammer hitting his chest, causing Kyle to start coughing on the spot. He was truly at a loss. She was too much to handle, using every trick in the book.With one hand rubbing his sore chest and the

    At that moment, it seemed like the world came to a standstill. The man and the woman at the door were so scared they hardly dared to breathe. How dare this woman. How could she slap Kyle?They sneakily glanced at Kyle's reddened face, wishing they could disappear. They were afraid they'd face his wrath, too.Kyle also couldn't believe what he was seeing. This little drunkard in front of him wasn't speaking gently or acting cute, and instead of calling him brother, she slapped him. He was furious. At that moment, he had already thought of where to bury this woman.However, Sophia didn't seem to realize the seriousness of hitting someone. She suddenly jerked her wrist and broke free from the man's grasp. Whether it was because she used too much force or because she was drunk and couldn't control her strength, she stumbled and fell on her rear.This fall was solid, and she couldn't help but cry in pain, "Ow!"Tears streamed down her face.Kyle was bewildered for a moment. The anger

    Sophia felt helpless. This man's schemes ran too deep. He didn't reveal anything useful. The two drank one glass after another from seven in the evening until ten at night. Sophia's head was spinning.She had been trying to limit herself, taking small sips each time. Unfortunately, her tolerance for alcohol was quite poor. Her gaze was unfocused, and the man opposite her seemed to blur into duplicates. She knew deep down that she was drunk. It was frustrating. When would her tolerance improve?"Are you deliberately trying to get me drunk to see me embarrass myself?" Kyle lounged carelessly. "I didn't know your alcohol tolerance was so poor."Sophia snorted softly in her heart. Ignorance was truly unbelievable. She even suspected that this man had seen her drunk before. Otherwise, why insist on drinking with her? She needed to control herself now; otherwise, her stingy husband at home would be infuriated.So she just slumped onto the table, motionless.Kyle chuckled. "Are you dru

    Kyle compromised, "Alright, I won't touch you."Sophia sternly commanded, "Get off."Kyle slowly got up from her.Sophia's piece of porcelain against his neck remained unmoved, her little face tense.Kyle sat up and waved to remove the hand threatening his neck, "Alright, if I bleed, you lose your life. Do you think I'm afraid of such a broken thing like you?"He knocked away the piece of porcelain in Sophia's hand, but she didn't pick it up. Instead, she said softly, "I know you're not afraid. As the top boss of the Netherworld Palace, what kind of woman can't you have? But it's not worth it to ruin the mood just to sleep with a woman, don't you think?"Kyle looked at her and smiled. Far from diminishing with Sophia's various rudeness, the interest in his eyes only intensified.He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Sophia's nape, pulling her closer. The two were close enough to hear each other breathe.There was a determined smile in his eyes. "I like smart girls."Sophia

    Kylie smirked. "So, how else do you want me to repay you?"But Sophia couldn't shake the feeling that his smile seemed somewhat sinister.Kyle wasn't the kind of person to easily agree. Could it be true that she had saved him?After contemplating, she said, "For example, a substantial monetary reward, a direct increase in shares and equity, or at the very least, treating me to a meal would suffice.“But instead, you kidnapped me, restricted my movements, and now you're telling me it's repayment? Did I perhaps drown your son in a well in a past life, prompting you to repay me in such a unique way?"He was left bewildered by Sophia's rapid-fire words. What was this woman talking about?After a good while, he finally grasped the gist of her words. "Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."Sophia looked at him, surprised that he was so easy to persuade. She took advantage of the situation and added, "Then first, give back the phone to your lifesaving benefactor."Kyle replied,

    Elliot searched the inside and out of the car. He indeed found a box of acupuncture needles tucked away in a corner. His wife always had a habit of carrying a box of acupuncture needles with her, not for self-defense, but for saving others.However, this box had yet to be opened, proving that the skills of the person they were dealing with surpassed hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have missed the chance to use the needles.It seemed that this car was indeed the right one.He looked at the dirt road ahead, with tracks from two vehicles. One was a regular sedan, and the other looked like an off-road vehicle.But no more surveillance cameras were ahead, so they wondered if the cars had turned back or continued forward.He relayed the situation to Avery once again. Avery began to investigate, checking every detail of the vehicle information provided by Elliot.

    "Mary," Paisley called out each word, but then her throat seemed to constrict, and she couldn't say anything more. Tears welled up in her eyes.Lucas also felt anguished. "We're sorry, Mary, but we haven't wronged you."Mary sneered, "If you haven't, how did I end up in this situation today? You both are incompetent parents. What's the point of arguing? You only have two daughters. Can't you treat us equally?"Paisley was truly enraged by her words. "How have I not treated you equally? Mary was just being clever. Perhaps I inadvertently praised her, but I never said you were bad, did I? Just because of this, you want to abandon Mary?“Are you even human? After you went missing, I couldn't eat or sleep peacefully. Every night was spent in tears. I knew you suffered a lot, and surviving wasn't easy, so when I found out it was Mary who made you disappear, I resented her deeply.“I did everything to make it up to you, even at the cost of hurting Mary.

    Xena viciously grabbed her by the collar, preparing to take her back for further interrogation. However, many policemen suddenly burst in through the door.The secretary followed closely behind, explaining, "Officers, hurry and arrest Xena. She forced her way in."Xena frowned. Assessing her situation, she forced Mary to sit in the boss's chair, a dagger held against her sister's neck. The room was marked with signs of struggle, with blood spattered across the floor.In this situation, she could hardly argue her innocence. But she instinctively explained, "She locked up my parents and wouldn't tell me where they were. I just wanted to question her."The police officers' expressions hardened, their tone brooking no refusal. "Take her away!"Two officers stepped forward and seized her. Xena complied, offering no resistance or excuses, obediently following the police.Another officer glanced at Mary. "Are you alright?"Mary seemed shaken, clutching her neck. After calming herself,
