Samuel looked awkwardly at Elliot. He seemed really mad.

What was that lady talking about? Why was she talking about an incubation period and him being contagious? Was she trying to say that Elliot was rabid?

The thought scared him so much that he gulped and frantically kept his head down. He dared not say a word.

This lady was reckless. Did she know who she was talking to?

Elliot was furious. He sneered, “Let’s see if you’re still this arrogant next time we meet.” Sophia replied with a smile, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!” He left the room.

Elliot was enraged, “I want you to find out who her grandmother is and which ward she’s staying in.” Samuel answered him in a panicked tone, “Understood, sir. Where are we going now?”

Elliot replied, “We’re going to talk to the hospital director. Looks like anyone can be a doctor these days!” Samuel said meekly, “Right, sir.”

That was it. She was done for! She had the gall to offend Elliot. She must have had a death wish!

    In the Buck family house.Sharon Buck hid in her room and rang Vincent Baxter, “How did it go, Vincent? Did you find Sophia?”Vincent was panting as he said, “I can’t find her. I looked all over the school but I didn’t see her at all. I heard that Sophia was skipping classes. She hasn’t been at school for over a month now!”Sharon was shocked. Was Sophia really skipping classes?She’d known that she did that from time to time back when she was still in the village. It was common to hear her picking fights with someone. That was why she hadn’t graduated from high school even though she was already twenty years old. Her dad had gone through a great deal of trouble to enroll her in Phoenix High School. She was secretly pleased at Sophia’s situation, but she adopted a worried tone. “Did you say she hasn’t been to school in a month? She hasn’t come back home, either. Where could she be?”Vincent was worn out from searching for her all day. He had been resentful and angry to begin w

    Sharon nodded, “That’s what Vincent said.”Lawrence was furious, “The more we doted on her, the worse she became. I went through a lot of trouble enrolling her into Phoenix High School so she could fix her bad habits. Now, look at her! Is she just going to slack off?”Sadie exchanged glances with Sharon and said softly, “There, there. She hasn’t been with us for a long time. I’m sure she’s been influenced by other people from the village. We’ll just discipline her more. It’ll be fine.”Sharon chimed in, “That’s right, Dad. Sophia just arrived. It’s hard to resist everything that goes on in the city. We should try to help her more. Let’s focus on finding her first. Vincent is pretty worried about her.”Lawrence sighed and took Sharon’s hands in his. “It would be wonderful if Sophia were as sensible as you. It’s a good thing you’re sharp and realized what was happening today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to begin to clean up this mess. Your sister grew up in a village. She’s no

    Sophia narrowed her eyes. She didn’t expect to hear that from her dad.She was furious and her voice was ice-cold. “Dirty tricks? Over the line? Chaos? I’ve done nothing, but you’ve already blamed me for everything. You’ve never cared about the truth. It wasn’t enough for you to point the finger at me. Now, you’re dragging my entire village into this. What’s wrong with being from a village? Did I ask you to provide for me? Why do you insult me every time you open your mouth? Do you know what I despise most about you? You’re condescending, and you look down on people all the time. Is the engagement all you care about? Fine, then! I’ll be there on time tomorrow. You’d better not regret this!”She hung up the phone as soon as she was done talking. She thought she wasn’t that upset, but her hands were shaking. Ugh!Why should she be upset because of them? She would just pay them back if they irritated her. Why should she show them any kindness?She doesn’t see him as part of he

    Sophia entered the hotel. It had been a night since her argument with Lawrence and she had calmed down. She intended to ask Lawrence to privately arrange for Sophia to get engaged to Vincent. That would be best for everyone!She did not see anyone when she walked in the hotel, but she was suddenly yanked into a lounge as she walked past.Sophia was caught unawares and irritated. She felt sick when she saw it was Vincent and pulled her hand back. Naturally, she did not bother keeping her disgusted look in check, “What do you think you’re doing?”Vincent frowned and spoke angrily, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m not good enough for you? Tell me! Where did you go last night? I’m telling you, Sophia Buck. If you cheated on me…”“What about it?”Sophia looked at him coldly and sat on a chair. She took some tissue from the table and carefully wiped where Vincent had grabbed her. Her movements might have been elegant, but the insult stung more than words ever

    Sophia said, “What can you tell? Your eyes don’t seem to be working.”Elliot smirked, “I’ll have to give you a present, then. Maybe I should get what we did in the toilet yesterday made into an animation and play it at your engagement party. It’ll be spectacular!”Sophia stepped closer and looked at his wheelchair. She was willing to bet he did not want anyone else to find out he could actually stand. So, she taunted him. “Don’t push yourself. Are you supposed to be standing or sitting?”Elliot was being insulted, but he smirked. “It depends on how you like it. Aren’t there a lot of positions? I’ll do every position imaginable with you if it’ll please you!”Sophia glared at him. “That’s enough.”‘Gosh… He’s so shameless.’She tried to look for her father again when her phone rang. Sadie was calling. “Where are you, Sophia?”Sophia replied, “I’m in the banquet hall.”“I’m in the lounge. Come over here.”Sophia had come out of the lounge a moment ago. Did she miss Sadie while

    He did not hold anything back when he said those words. Sophia was at the door, but she stopped.She slowly turned around. An air of hostility enveloped her. “That’s fine. You can arrange for anyone you like to get engaged to your son. I couldn’t care less about anyone who acts all high and mighty like you!”William was dead silent.Lawrence felt himself lose all hope when he heard what Sophia said. For a moment, he regretted welcoming his hillbilly daughter back into his arms!“Sophia!”Sadie walked toward her. She was worried Sophia was about to ruin the engagement and yelled, “Do you have any idea what you’re saying? How could you talk to William like that? He’s your future father-in-law, and he’s older than you! Show him some respect”Sophia looked at Sadie and said, “Didn’t you hear how he degraded me? Is that what someone who’s older than me gets to say about me?”Sadie frowned, “It was your fault, anyway. Vincent looked for you all day yesterday. Don’t you know he’s wor

    William understood what was going on. The two of them had slept together because Sophia had set them up.He looked at Mary and whispered, “If that’s the case, let’s match Sharon and Vincent together. Your best friend’s been dead for a long time now. It’s not like we didn’t keep our word. Her daughter refused to marry our son. We should just get this over with. If Sophia does marry our son, we’ll never know peace.”Mary looked at Vincent and cast a disappointed glance at Sophia. At last, she sighed, “Do whatever you want. I don’t care anymore!”William snorted and raised his head. “It seems that Sharon and Vincent love each other. Since the invitations have been sent out, let’s get them engaged to each other instead!”Lawrence and Sadie looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, “Sure. We’ll be fine with it if Sharon and Vincent are okay with it too.”William looked at Sophia disgustedly and said, “Men. Seize Sophia. We’ll take her to the police later.”A group of bod

    Elliot saw Vincent and the others leave the lounge, but he didn’t see Sophia.‘Where is she?’ He wondered. He had been counting on messing with her. Could she have run away at the last minute?“Elliot!” someone called.Elliot looked over and found William walking over and smiling at him. It was so different from his condescending face earlier.“Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy the party!” William extended his hand. Elliot shook his hand and said, “Congratulations.”William was beaming. The Patton, Morgan, and Decker families were the three most prestigious families in Phoenix. They owned enterprises that had stood for more than a century and had connections in both legal and unlawful businesses. People like them were usually beyond William’s circle. He didn’t think Elliot Patton would attend his party.He smiled fawningly at Elliot, “Thank you very much. Please have a seat, Elliot. This way.”He personally led Elliot to the VIP seats. Elliot searched for Sophia in th

    “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. At this point, the police, Samuel, and his team arrived one after the other.Since there were no surveillance cameras in this a

    "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,
