Elliot was speechless.

He would have slapped this girl if he hadn’t needed a favor from her. She was incredibly irritating.

Sophia looked at the man’s defeated face and could not help but chuckle. She swung her backpack onto her back, turned around, and left.

Elliot exchanged a glance with Samuel.

Samuel immediately caught on. "Let me carry your backpack for you, Ms. Sophia."

Sophia replied: "There’s no need, I can handle it. Where's the car?"

Samuel replied, "It’s down the hill."

Sophia began her descent toward the bottom of the hill without hesitation.

She swaggered with each step, tossing her hair back arrogantly.

Elliot suddenly smiled and followed. He decided not to argue with her, especially since she had finally agreed to help his grandfather.

The four men looked at each other. Elliot seemed to be interested in this woman.

But they were more concerned about whether the hundred thousand was still on the table.

They had been left without clothes and beaten twice for n

    Elliot frowned. These past few days, he had encountered nothing but people asking him for money. They must think his money grew on trees. He looked disdainfully at the man, coolly replying, "No need."With that, he moved to open the car door.Once again, Gilbert stopped him. "What's the matter? Is the consultation fee too high? You drive such a nice car. Surely, you can afford to pay seven grand. If that's the case, give me a price, and I'll see what I can do."Elliot felt exasperated. As he was about to reject Gilbert again, Sophia came over. She boldly intervened, pulling Gilbert aside. "Do you have an ounce of dignity left? How dare you offer to treat people with your medical expertise?"Gilbert pointed at Sophia, growing increasingly agitated. "What's wrong with my medical skills? Am I not more knowledgeable than someone who knows nothing? As for you, are you going around treating people or sending them to their deaths?"Sophia's eyes narrowed with hostility. She had promise

    When Sophia and Elliot arrived at the hospital, the former first visited Dorothy’s ward. To Sophia’s surprise, Daniel was also there. Upon entering, Sophia greeted them and sat by the bedside, revealing a small box she had brought from home."Grandma, is this what you asked me to bring?"Dorothy touched the small box and nodded. "Yes, that's it.""Do you want to take a look?"“It's okay. Just put it away for now."Sophia did not overthink it and put the small box away.Daniel looked at her with anger and frustration evident in his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me before you left?"He would not have let Elliot go up the mountain if he had known she had returned to Westo. If Elliot found her, it would be a big win.Sophia asked, "What's wrong?"Daniel hesitated before saying, "Nothing. Since you're back, I'll leave."Naturally, Sophia sensed he had something to say. "Then I'll walk you out."With that, she left the ward with him and asked, “What’s wrong?”Daniel responded, "Did

    The following day, Elliot followed Jeffrey’s instructions and did not visit the hospital. Instead, he obediently waited at Villa No. 8 in Elm County.That morning, Samuel came holding a brand-new suit. “Mr. Elliot, are you wearing this today?”Elliot frowned. "No, just bring me the pajamas Grandpa left here last time.""Pajamas?" Samuel was puzzled. "Mr. Elliot, aren’t you going to the blind date your grandfather arranged? Wearing that might scare your date off."Elliot replied, "Scaring her away might be easier."The woman was the granddaughter of Jeffrey’s old friend, and she was also the woman who saved him. She did not mind that he had a disability, so Elliot could not express any dissatisfaction.If it were not for this trip to the countryside, he might have reluctantly tried to get along with the woman just to bring some happiness to his grandfather. However, Elliot could only thank her and try to put off the marriage.That way, he would not hurt the relationship between J

    Although the place retained a natural mountain shape, it was clearly man-made. There were stone steps, pavilions, and a babbling spring. Occasionally, the distant calls of animals echoed. The air was fresh, and the scenery was picturesque.It was a gorgeous place.Sophia said, "All right."'Alright?' The bodyguard was puzzled. He glanced at Sophia and suggested, "Ms. Sophy, our young master keeps some animals here. Are you afraid? Maybe..."Sophia interrupted, "It's okay, I'm not afraid." With that, she walked in.The bodyguard was speechless. Seeing her enter, he quickly called Samuel, "Ms. Sophy went to the mountains. She refuses to leave and insists on waiting for the young master."Samuel was equally surprised. "She really went in?"The bodyguard confirmed, "Yes. I even warned her about the animals, but she said she's not afraid."Samuel cautioned, "Keep an eye on her and ensure nothing goes wrong. Also, have the family doctor on standby at all times."He gave a series o

    Jeffrey's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Dorothy. He hastily set aside the marriage certificate and answered the phone, "Hello, Dorothy.""Jefrrey, Sophy said she waited there for half a day and still didn't see anyone. Isn't your grandson home?" Dorothy sounded puzzled.Jeffrey was equally baffled. "What? Is Sophy still waiting? Didn't she say she wasn't interested in my grandson?"Dorothy was also at a loss. "Really? Sophy said she hasn't seen anyone yet."Jeffrey looked at Elliot and saw him staring blankly at the two marriage certificates on the bed. He instantly understood everything. It was just another one of Elliot’s lies. Jeffrey knew he should have prepared for this ever since Elliot rejected it last night. The blind date should have happened under his nose.However, he had no time to settle scores with Elliot. He explained to Dorothy, "Oh my! It must be a misunderstanding. My grandson thought Sophy would come after the hospital visit.“H

    Elliot held back a grin as he looked at Sophia. He thought she was probably more confused than he was moments ago. “Sorry, I kept you waiting.”Sophia said nothing.Jeffrey tried to explain hurriedly. “That’s right, Sophy. Elliot thought you were here in the hospital, so he came. I’m sorry you went all the way there for nothing. Do you recognize me? You saved me when I had a heart attack by the road.”Elliot looked at his grandpa in disbelief. They couldn’t let Sophia’s grandmother know about her medical skills. Why was Grandpa saying all this in front of her? He pretended to cough a few times. Jeffrey caught himself instantly and clarified, “Oh. What I meant was I would have been in serious trouble if you hadn’t called me an ambulance.” Dorothy did not notice anything and started introducing Sophia to everyone. “This is Jeffrey’s grandson, Sophy. Meet Elliot Patton.”‘Hold on! What’s his name? Did Grandma just say he’s Elliot Patton? Did he save Grandma? Oh, gosh, I need a s

    Sophia was puzzled. “Huh?”‘Did the old man just say we’d be moving in together? When will this madness end? The surprises just keep coming today.’It was terrible enough that Elliot was the man they were trying to set her up with. Now, they had married her to him. If that weren’t bad enough, they would make her move in with him as well. Sophia glanced at Elliot as he grinned triumphantly.It made her want to punch and kill him. “I-I need to speak with Elliot. Alone.”Jeffrey said, “Sure thing. We’ll let you young ones chat. Don’t mind us.”Sophia looked at Dorothy, worried. “Wait for me, Grandma.”Dorothy nodded. “All right.”Sophia looked intensely at Elliot and left the room. She did not bother waiting for him and went straight to her office at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Soon, Sophia heard the sound of a wheelchair approaching her office. Elliot came in shortly after that.Sophia was furious and stood up swiftly. Samuel had just brought Elliot into the of

    Elliot stared at Sophia. “I did all that weeding for a whole day. Wasn’t that good enough for you?”Sophia was quiet for a while before saying, “It was, but you stood me up today. Did you forget that you sent me to the mountain full of vicious animals?” Elliot grinned. “Were you scared?”Sophia said, “Why would I be scared? Anyway, you can pay me ten million dollars.”“Is that for the treatment?”“The treatment is five million dollars.”“What’s the ten million dollars for?”“That’s for when I caught the snakes for you.”“What happened to them?”“I relocated them.”Elliot looked at Sophia questioningly. “Where did you move them?” Sophia smirked. “You’ll have to pay up if you want to know.”Elliot stared at her. He did not care about that. He tried to revisit the topic of his grandpa’s treatment. “You can come over and treat my grandpa in the afternoon or whenever your grandma’s taking a nap.”“That depends on when you transfer the money to me.”“Looks like I should wor

    “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.

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,
