At the same time, Elizabeth’s heart sank.

What did Sophia mean? What did she learn?

Sophia dropped a bombshell and left it at that. She started walking back to her seat nonchalantly. Elliot’s gaze never left her as she walked back to her seat, his lips curling into a smile.

That was more like it!

This was how Chester should have started the interrogation, instead of being influenced by his relationship with this lady. He was too soft on Elizabeth and turned the interrogation into a party!

Sophia had to step in and do it for him!

He gripped her hand when she came over and said, “Why did you do it yourself?”

“I can’t stand her!”

Smiling, he said, “Here. I’ll rub your hand.”

Withdrawing her hand, Sophia glared at him and signaled for him to mind his manners.

He had nothing to say about that.

Tsk!

He was minding his manners well. After all, he was not kissing or carrying her right now.

Sophia could not care if Elliot got it through his own head. Turning around, she looked

    Sophia asked, “Do you notice that her ear piercing’s bigger than an ordinary one?”Chester nodded.“Do you know why that is?”He shook his head in response and looked at Phoebe, awaiting an answer from her. Elliot, on the other hand, smiled. She really had a knack for torturing people. Peeling off the truth layer by layer meant the person being tortured would feel the pain step by step.Chester probably did not know that Sophia was also pulling his strings at this moment. She sat upright and stared at him. “Phoebe says she got this unusually big ear piercing from a time when she saved a man by the lake. That man was drowning and grabbed hold of one of her earrings before he lost consciousness. “She was pulling him out of the lake with both of her hands and she couldn’t spare one of them to brush away his hand. In the end, the man tore away one of the earrings and almost took one of her ears with it. “It was bleeding by the time she went back and one of her earrings was gone.

    So, that was the whole story. Chester laughed unexpectedly. He was laughing at himself for being such a fool. Elizabeth had him wrapped around her finger. He gave up the idea of pursuing Phoebe and agreed to become her boyfriend. Elizabeth used to tell him that he was the first man she loved when she confessed to him. He did doubt her because the girl who saved him at the lake told him that her heart belonged to someone else and that nothing would happen between them. He asked Elizabeth then.Did she remember what she said to him when she saved him?She answered that she almost died trying to save him, so she did not remember anything about that. He was heartbroken about it back then, but now it turned out that she was merely impersonating Phoebe. How could she have remembered it? However, he almost killed his true lifesaver for her sake. He cast his mind back to all the times he had cruelly accused Phoebe and the sense of despair in her eyes. She must have been heartbroken.

    All of a sudden, Chester throttled Elizabeth, his eyes red with fury, “You’ve done more damage than that. You turned me into a heartless monster. How am I supposed to face Phoebe now? You deserve to die.”Elliot rose and tugged at his shirt, “Call the cops. She killed Nathaniel. It’s not going to end well for her anyway. Don’t get yourself in trouble.”However, hatred raged on in Chester’s heart. His grip on her neck hadn’t loosened one bit, as if he hadn’t heard what Elliot said. In fact, he was itching to tighten his grip.Elliot moved in and pulled them apart when he noticed Elizabeth was about to suffocate for real. “We’re in a hospital.”Chester stumbled backward and spoke, his voice full of sorrow, “What should I do? What can I do? How am I supposed to look Phoebe in the eye if I don’t kill this woman now?”It was all because of her. It was her fault!He almost pushed Phoebe to kill herself for a worthless woman. He was that close to killing someone who saved his life. How

    Sophia was taken aback and pushed him away with both her hands. “What do you think you’re doing, Elliot? There are other people here.”He couldn’t help but laugh. “Well. Why did you seduce me, then?”“When did I do that?”“Give me a kiss.”“I’m not doing that. Hurry up and let me go.”“I can always kiss you instead.”She ducked and said, “Hold on. Give me a second.” She gave a quick glance around her. It was as though she was checking out if anyone was actually looking their way.He knew she was shy, so he decided to be patient.There was a hint of slyness in her eyes as she blinked at him. “Close your eyes.”“Get in the car.” He took her hands and was about to walk when she tugged at him. “We’ll do it here. I'm done with all the walking. Just close your eyes.”He backed off and went along with her. Closing his eyes, he waited for her kiss.At the next moment, she squirmed and broke free of his embrace.He remained quiet as he watched her running away. He couldn

    His face grew grim when he heard what Wylie said, “I’m petty as well. If she addressed another guy in that tone, I wouldn’t like it either. We’re petty about it because we care about one another.”Then, an idea popped into his mind and gave him a boost of happiness. That was right. She cared about him. That was why she didn’t want another lady to call him in that intimate tone.Wylie was so choked up with anger she almost couldn’t breathe. She intended to drive a wedge in their relationship. Little did she know Elliot would act this unexpectedly and piss her off instead.It looked like Vanessa was wrong. Sophia wasn’t someone who didn’t have a place in Elliot’s heart, as she claimed. Wasn’t it obvious that he cared a lot about her? How did Vanessa figure he was forced to marry Sophia?With this new discovery, she couldn’t afford to act recklessly and use their ebbing bond to drive a wedge between him and Sophia. She had to draw up an intricate plan to do it.“Geez. Okay, Ell

    Elliot saw Chester pacing back and forth in front of Phoebe’s ward when he came by the hospital to pick up Sophia.“Why don’t you go in?”Chester sighed. He was too ashamed to see Phoebe now. Elliot could guess what he was thinking and asked, “Was Elizabeth sent to the police station?”“Yeah. They summoned Edward too, but he made all his transactions to her and she paid the guys she hired directly from her account or Phoebe’s bank card. “All Edward admitted to was his relationship with her and that he gave her the money as a gift. The police can’t prove that those guys answered to Edward and they can’t do much with Elizabeth’s testimony either.”Elliot said, “It’s fine. I know this isn’t enough to take him down. We can bide our time for that. I kept thinking about the phone call she overheard from Edmund. It’s likely related to me, but I’m not sure if he was talking about the car crash that concerns my parents or Gemma. They said they were looking for a young girl. I wonder if

    Phoebe smiled sarcastically, “Actions speak louder than words, as they say. You make a compelling argument, but last I checked, you still signed the divorce papers for Elizabeth’s sake. You might say that you love me but look at your own actions. Can you give me an example that proves that you love me?”He couldn’t think of anything to say to that. If he had loved her, then would he have pushed her to kill herself?It wasn’t just Phoebe who wasn't convinced. Even Chester himself didn’t buy his own words. He had no idea how it got this awful, but he pushed them to where they were today.“All I'm asking for is a month, Phoebe. We’ll get the divorce decree if you insist on going through with it by then. Can you please give me a month to take care of you?”She looked at him coldly. “Here’s a thought experiment. Imagine that I’m the one who looked after Brody every day, had his baby, and asked you to amputate one of your legs to save his life. “On top of that, I asked you to amputat

    Elliot smiled, “That’s not the case here.”Hamish also smiled and added, “He just wanted to show how much of a gentleman he is. Don’t worry about it, Janine. Let's give him a chance to do just that.”Janine grinned and looked at Elliot, “Well. Don’t mind if I do. I’d hate to hear you claiming that I asked you out just to make you pay for lunch.” She proceeded to order more dishes.He gave her a sidelong glance. “We’re business partners. Don’t you think it’s only right that I buy you lunch?”Her smile grew wider. “You know just what to say, Elliot. As a matter of fact, I’ve gone over the details with Hamish and we’ve finalized most of them. I merely wanted to see you in person today.”He responded calmly, “Since you asked to see me, I just had to accept the invitation to show you how serious we are with this collaboration. Truth be told, you’ll have to finalize the remaining details with Hamish. I’ve always been behind the scenes. So, I’m not very good when it comes to this stuff

    “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,
