Dorothy seemed interested in the idea. She said with a smile, “So, will we be marrying above ourselves?”

Jeffrey replied, “What do you mean, marrying above yourselves? You moved away from Phoenix. If you had been here all this time, we might have become in-laws by now. I should tell you that the public doesn’t think highly of my grandson. But those are just empty rumors. Don’t believe any of it. The poor boy had a tragic past. His parents died in a car accident when he was eighteen, and he’s been in a wheelchair ever since.”

He leaned in closer and whispered, “To tell the truth, his legs have been fine for a long time. I won’t say much, but if she marries him, nobody'll dare say anything about her.”

Dorothy’s eyes lit up. She looked at him and said, “Okay, I’ll meet your grandson one of these days. But first, let me show you a picture of Sophia. She’s beautiful.”

She reached into her pocket for a picture of Sophia.

He was stunned. “This is your granddaughter?”

Dorothy was surpri

    Sadie sneered, “Explain what to her? She nearly killed my daughter. I’d rather settle my score with her instead,” With that, she turned and left the room.Daniel shot a glare at Sadie but did not stop her from leaving. Elliot frowned, puzzled by her swift departure. What was the connection between that man and that brat?Who exactly was Sadie to the elderly woman?As he wondered about that, Daniel expressed his gratitude. “Elliot, thank you for saving Dorothy.”Elliot silently scoffed. ‘Why is he thanking me? It’s not like I did it for him.’ Nevertheless, he replied nonchalantly, “No problem.”As the conversation ended, Elliot saw that Jeffrey was calling him.Elliot had promised his grandfather that he would visit, so he answered the call. “Grandpa, I’m on my way. Adam? What happened? Alright, I’ll be there soon.”After hanging up, Elliot told Dorothy, “You take good care of yourself. I have to go.”She smiled and replied, “Thank you, young man.”Elliot said, “You don’t n

    Sophia received a call from Daniel and hurried back from school.When she arrived at the hospital, Dorothy’s condition had improved significantly, but she was still very weak.Daniel had told Sophia that Sadie was the one who upset her grandmother.Interestingly, Elliot had assisted in restraining Sadie and called for a doctor.It seemed that the rumors about Elliot being cruel and ruthless were unreliable. She thought there might be something to him, since he had intervened in an unfair situation. She supposed she should at least thank him for today.She didn’t dare imagine what might have happened to Dorothy if he hadn’t been there.Dorothy looked at Sophia and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to hold a grudge against them.”Sophia scoffed. “Sure.”She didn’t want her to hold a grudge? That would be letting them off too easily.Dorothy frowned and continued, “After all, she’s your stepmother. If you don’t like them, we can just avoid them, but there’s no need to make things

    Sadie was infuriated and tried to smack Sophia, but Sophia caught her wrist in midair.Her icy gaze locked on Sadie as she slowly stood up from her chair, saying, “I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. How dare you try to attack me? Let me tell you something, Sadie. If anything happens to my grandmother, I guarantee worse things will happen to your daughter!”After saying that, she pushed her. Sadie was no match for Sophia's strength, so she stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground. Aggrieved, she looked up at Lawrence and said, "Why did you bring her back from the countryside? Did you do it just to stir up trouble in our family?"Lawrence did think that Sophia was partly responsible for Sharon's broken engagement, but he harbored some guilt because he had misunderstood Sophia at the time. Now, her words were becoming increasingly malicious. How dare she try to encourage Sharon to attempt suicide again right now? He felt that it was time to step in. He helpe

    Adam accompanied Jeffrey to Dorothy’s ward again. Dorothy struggled to sit up in bed. “You’re here, Jeff.”Jeffrey was worried about her. “How are you? Adam mentioned that someone had come to make a scene. Are you feeling better now?”Dorothy smiled. "I'm fine. I’m much better now."Jeffrey sighed. “It’s not good for people our age to get anxious and angry. Who on earth dared come here to provoke you?"Dorothy was silent for a while before saying, "It was Sophia’s stepmother. Remember the canceled engagement? Her daughter attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. She thought Sophia was to blame, so she came to take her anger out on me."Jeffrey said angrily, "What does that have to do with Sophia? How dare she try to blame you for that?”Dorothy smiled when she saw Jeffrey protecting her so fiercely. She would be at ease if Sophia married into his family. At least someone would have her back. "I met your grandson," she said. "Huh?" Jeffrey was surprised. "You met him? Wher

    In ward 1306, Sophia prepared to leave for the countryside tomorrow. Dorothy could not help but worry, saying, "Two days should be enough. The small box is in the basement of that old house on the hill, with dark red patterns."Sophia nodded. "All right."Dorothy continued, "If you encounter people you'd rather avoid, just steer clear. Don't let yourself get dragged into any conflicts.""I understand," Sophia replied.Seeing how calm Sophia was, Dorothy added, "Don't just say it. Make sure you take my advice to heart."Sophia glanced at her. "I got it. Why don't you trust me?"Dorothy smiled. "That's more like it. A woman should be gentle, not always ready to fight. Being too fierce won't win you any hearts."Sophia remained silent.The two were still talking when there was a knock on the door. Sophia turned and saw Lawrence. Her expression darkened. She knew he was not here to visit her grandmother.Her grandmother had been in the hospital for a month, and whenever he came to

    Edward felt a whirlwind of emotions. His ears began to ring, and the overhead light became blurry. He knew he was bleeding.Elliot had the nerve to lay hands on him like that, but it wasn’t over yet. Soon after, Edward felt another gust of wind. Someone was kicking him—each blow was powerful. He shouted in pain, too agonized to even beg for mercy as he instinctively tried to avoid the kicks.When he thought the person would beat him to death, the person grabbed his collar and pressed him against the mirrored wall with a thud.Fresh blood trickled down from his head. He saw Elliot’s face through the mirror, so cold it bordered on numbness.Edward froze and could not believe Elliot was the man in the mirror with sinister eyes. "A-Are your legs healed?"Elliot sneered, "What do you think?"Edward was shocked. "So it was you?"When he emerged from the private room at the nightclub that day, he caught a glimpse of a figure that looked like Elliot. He sent bodyguards to chase after hi

    After Elliot left Jeffrey's hospital room, Dorothy hurried over. She had heard from a young nurse about Jeffrey being rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment, which had frightened her. Despite her less-than-ideal physical condition, she made her way over.Only Adam was present in the ward. When Dorothy saw Jeffrey, her anxiety finally began to subside."How are you, Jeffrey?" Jeffrey smiled helplessly. "Well, I didn't die. I didn’t expect to collapse by noon when I was just boasting to you in the morning. I can’t deny I’m getting old now.”Dorothy sighed, perhaps considering the time she had nearly died herself. She felt a hint of melancholy, "Yes, every day’s a gift at our age. Who knows if we'll live to see our two children get married and have children."Jeffrey nodded solemnly. "We can. Elliot said as long as Sophia agrees, he can marry her anytime."Dorothy hesitated. "Sophia shouldn't have any objections either. I just feel the two children haven't met yet

    "There are dogs on that mountain. I don't want to risk it." Zoey asked impatiently, "Are you still going?"Elliot replied firmly, "Yes, let's go!"The trio set off toward Lingen Mountain. When they reached its foot, the sky had turned pitch black. Zoey took the money and exited the car, saying, "Take care, you two!" Samuel glanced at Elliot's wheelchair and suggested, "Mr. Elliot, why don't you wait here? I can go alone.""No need," Elliot said, getting out of the car himself. It was already late, and there were no other people around. He could manage to climb the mountain on his own.As they walked, they could not help but notice the distinctive choice of location for this house. Building a house on a hill like this was a testament to the owner's uniqueness, someone who refused to conform to the norms of society.After half an hour's walk, they finally saw the house Zoey had mentioned.Elliot had expected to find a thatched hut, even though they frequented this area.

    “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,
