Sophia became even more suspicious and gave chase. Not far off, she saw a figure hurrying away. It was Mrs. Bash, from Elizabeth’s room.

Sophia sneered. If she could not catch her, she would just have to pay the two a visit.

She stopped to speak to the nurse at the front desk.

"Take care of Phoebe for me."

The nurse replied, "Of course, Ms. Sophia."

Sophia then pursued Mrs. Bash.

Probably sensing her pursuit, Mrs. Bash quickly walked to the elevator, but since the elevator was taking too long, she turned around and headed for the stairs.

Sophia chuckled. This would be a piece of cake.

Elizabeth was on the thirteenth floor, and Phoebe was on the tenth.

When she entered the stairwell, the woman had already climbed up one floor.

Sophia shouted at her, "Stop!"

Feeling guilty and frightened by Sophia’s shout, she missed a step, falling from the halfway point of the staircase. She also sprained her foot in the process, causing her pain and making it difficult for her to get up.

    Palmer, although half skeptical, decided to speak. He felt that there was not much difference between revealing his current situation and keeping silent."Nathan asked us to help him stage a scene where we pretended to assassinate you. The idea was to go easy on the woman who came to your rescue. However, on that day, Nathan’s sister also showed up. When she ran towards you, she collided with Glenn. That caused him to lose control and exert extra force as he stabbed that woman. Nathan told us off, saying we put her at unnecessary risk."Chester stared into the emptiness ahead with his mind buzzing. Even though he already believed in Sophia’s recording, hearing it directly from Palmer made him feel like he had fallen straight into hell.Was all of this true? Phoebe told him that this was Elizabeth’s plan.His reply to Phoebe had been, "Would you risk your life for this?"At that time, he had suspected Elizabeth’s motives. However, he dismissed all doubts due to her injury. Regard

    Phoebe said, "Brody claimed that he came over only after receiving the message I sent him, but I'm sure I never sent him anything. The police arrived so promptly because it was a nearby villager who reported it."Sophia frowned. "The villagers reported it late at night in the rain?""Oh, there was more than that. My earring was used as evidence. But I wasn't wearing earrings that night. My ear had been injured so I stopped wearing earrings by then as they kept falling out. I lost that earring a long time ago."Sophia’s gaze fell on her ear, and she leaned in to take a closer look, "What happened to your ear?""The piercing is a bit enlarged, so hooked earrings tend to just slip off."Sophia’s brow furrowed slightly, a fleeting thought passing through her mind. However, Phoebe’s next words interrupted her train of thought. "The day I lost my earring was the same day I met Eliza.""Which day?""The first time we met, do you remember? At the hospital.

    Elliot was fiddling with his phone in Prosper Peak Ventures. His phone was working fine. She just had not called him. He could not believe it. He left in a rage. How could she not even call him?How heartless!The phone screen kept coming on and going off. He was wondering if he should give her a call. Would she care even less about him if he did?It seemed like he was constantly the one soothing her. When would she start reciprocating? Hamish had been staring at Elliot. Why was he so annoyed?Inching closer to Elliot, Hamish saw that he was looking at a picture of Sophia sleeping with her eyes closed.“Why did you take a picture of your wife when she was sleeping?”Elliot jumped at that and glared at him. “Why didn’t I hear you coming in?”“I wasn’t being sneaky or anything. You were just so wrapped up in your thoughts that you didn’t hear me. What are you getting mad at me for?” He smiled and teased. “Isn’t this too much? Don’t you see her every day? I can’t believe you’re

    Sophia had to prop herself up against the desk behind her with her wrist. Her waist was going to break if he kept bearing down on her. Elliot probably noticed how uncomfortable it was for her and held her waist to pick her up.The wild, passionate kisses slowly turned into gentle, affectionate smooches. He began to kiss her delicately as if she was his most cherished treasure in the world. He started above her brow and worked his way down, his lips brushing through every single inch of her exposed flesh as softly as a feather, giving rise to a tingling sensation in her body.Her heart was pounding like crazy. Pushing him, she said, “C-Calm yourself down.”He would like to do that, but he could not control himself. Much time had passed before he reluctantly stopped kissing her, but he was still holding onto her tight. Pressing his forehead and nose against hers, he muttered, “Sophy… Sophy…”He called her name with such longing that it made her heart flutter.She asked, “Are you sti

    Elliot sensed that Sophia was mad. He responded hastily, “Yeah.”Wylie smiled, “Go ahead, then. We’re just here to look for Hamish.”Elliot nodded and led Sophia out of the elevator and got into the car. Acting quickly, he explained, “Don’t overthink it. We’ve known each other since we were very young. Back then, Edmund and the others picked on me when my legs were injured and no longer worked. “She was the one who stood up for me and we got closer after that. You can say she’s the only friend I had in those bleak days.” Her lips twitched involuntarily. Did he think she acted out of the kindness of her heart?He was lucky that she did not make things worse for him. Why would she stand up for him?“Is her name Wylie Shaw?”Henrietta, Wylie’s mom, made a trip to the city and decided she wanted to elope with a rich guy. Then, she came back to demand a divorce from Sophia’s alcoholic father. About a year later, he wanted to marry Emma and made Henrietta take Wylie away.It look

    Chester pondered for a while before saying, “The guy who stabbed Elizabeth died of a heart attack. However, I came to discover that it wasn’t a heart attack that killed him. “Instead, someone tortured him to death and the news was suppressed. With this in mind, the person behind Elizabeth has to be very powerful. Edward Patton fits the profile.”Sophia thought this made sense. “True. You should look into him and see if you can dig up something. Don’t worry about the two drivers, we have them. Not even Edward’s men can find them here.”Hanging up the phone, Chester decided he would walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator. He wanted to calm himself down, so he remained quiet on his entire way up.Finding out that something he had firmly believed in for so long was entirely wrong was depressing, to say the least. He began to tear himself down after that. He doubted everything he did and was at a loss as to how he could begin to make amends.That was why the earlier call from

    Chester sneered. It really was Edward Patton.Without saying anything, he hung up and looked at Elizabeth. “When did you start getting involved with Edward? Was he helping with all these schemes from behind the scenes? Your baby. Was it his?”Tears started falling from Elizabeth’s eyes. Edward was her last trump card. She could not drag him into this. She had to lie. “You’re wrong. We’re just friends.”That pissed Chester off. Taking out his phone, he made a phone call, “I got Elizabeth. It was true. She has been communicating with Edward Patton all this time, but she insists on lying about it. Can you and Elliot make a trip here and use whatever it is you did to me and do it to her too?”Sophia replied, “Arrange for two men to watch her. I’ll swing by tomorrow. There’s still something I need to look into.”He responded, “Sure thing.” He had submitted himself to Sophia and believed her completely. His faith in her was so absolute that anyone could call it blind faith!Tomorro

    “All of the Facebook posts Elizabeth made were fake. She was deliberately driving a wedge between us. She can never have my baby because I’ve never slept with her. Also, I only ever bought the necklace for you. “The guy in the picture having dinner at her place wasn’t me either. I’ve long stopped having any feelings about her. I only feel indebted to her. I have no idea when, but I started loving you. Perhaps it was after we got married. Perhaps it was earlier than that…”His thoughts traveled far, deep, and unlocked memories of a distant past."In fact, I first saw you back in college, but you barely paid me any attention. Elizabeth, however, kept showing up. “I didn’t much care about her at first, but she probably knew what to say to get my attention. She started talking about you. She told me that you were dating Brody and had loved him for a long time. All the way back from high school, in fact. You got into that college because of him, too. She also said your diary was full

    “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.

    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,
