last update Last Updated: 2024-03-18 15:44:52
Hamish's heart ached as he reached out to hold her in his arms again. "I'm sorry, Xena. I know how much you've suffered, and I've thought about all these questions, too. But just the thought of giving you up makes it hard for me to breathe.

“I know I'm selfish, but we've already wasted three years. I don't want another three years to go by. Give me some time. I'll fix things."

Whether it was the long-suppressed grievances in her heart or the alcohol amplifying all her senses, Xena felt aggrieved. Of course, she did not lack suitors. One could even say her romantic prospects were excellent.

Still, Xena could not understand why she insisted on hanging herself on the crooked tree that was Hamish.

Over the past three years, Xena thought she had already forgotten about Hamish. But seeing him now, with all misunderstandings cleared up and him unhesitatingly taking a blow for her, she could not pretend anymore.

She never forgot about him. Now, tears splattered down like beads off a brok

    Elliot noticed her distraction and asked, "Did you hear me?"Sophia hurriedly replied, "Yes."Elliot rubbed her head. "Take another nap. You have school tomorrow. Rest well today."Sophia sneered and muttered under her breath, "Beast!"Elliot turned back, "What?"Sophia trembled. "I mean, I feel uncomfortable."Elliot frowned and looked a bit nervous as he touched her forehead. "What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?"Sophia pouted. "Don't you know what's wrong with me?"Elliot hesitated. 'Is it what I think it is?'Sophia seized the opportunity to lecture him confidently, "Do you know what moderation is? Do you know our size difference? You only know how to do it but not how to recover. Do you know how long it will take for me to recover from this?“Do you know how much damage you've caused by using up a whole pack in one night? Aren't you afraid of breaking me apart?"Elliot was speechless. Wow, she made him sound like a monster.Two knocks sounded at the door, accompani

    Hamish glared at Elliot but smiled at Sophia. "Sophia, can you help me find two people?""Who?"Hamish sent the surveillance screenshots of the three hoodlums to Sophia and explained, "When Mary got beaten that night, she told me a passing police officer who scared off the three hoodlums found her.“Since Mary has similar injuries to me, she thought Xena misunderstood that we were together and harmed her. She didn't pursue it to protect Xena, so Mary misled me and didn't dare to call the police. “I want to investigate quietly and not disturb the police. There's no surveillance where Mary got attacked, but my people found surveillance footage at the entrance of a supermarket. They saw them following Mary into an alley, and three men ran out. “If my guess is correct, these three men should be actors arranged by Mary. But my words lack credibility. I need to find the testimony of these three men. My people have visited every house, but nobody recognizes them. Sophia, can you help m

    Mary turned around quietly. She started blushing as if she did not know how embarrassing it was until now. She then stole a glance at Hamish. Although he did not look at her with compassion, his tone became a lot friendlier.“Can you help me zip up my dress? I can’t reach it.”Hamish instinctively became disgusted at that.‘If she could unzip her dress in the first place, why would it be so hard to zip it back up? What makes her think it’ll be that easy to pull a fast one on me?’“That wouldn’t be appropriate.” Hamish then opened the door and called out, “I need a waitress here!”Soon after, a waitress came and asked, “Is there something I can help you with, sir?”Hamish pointed at Mary and said, “Help her with her dress, please.”Mary felt aggrieved. She could not believe what she had just heard, wondering if there was even an end to this humiliation.The waitress helped Mary zip up her dress and felt the awkwardness between the two guests. Hence, the waitress quickly left the

    Paisley growled, “What does Xena blame us for? I raised her and provided for her. I might not have treated her nicely, but I kept her fed and kept a roof over her head ever since she was a baby.“What about poor Mary? Xena let some nasty people kidnap her. Mary suffered so much because of Xena. She got separated from us for thirteen years. I wanted to make up for lost time by treating Mary better. What’s so wrong about that?“You don’t know how heartbroken I am whenever I see Mary getting mistreated. She loves Hamish. We arranged for them to get married when they were children. That means Hamish is rightfully hers.“Xena should’ve backed down even if the opposite is true. After all, that’s how much she owes Mary.”Lucas replied, “That’s all in the past. It might not have been true. In fact, it doesn’t even matter because Xena didn’t mean for it to happen. You can’t just keep blaming her.”Paisley retorted, “Have I even mentioned making Xena pay for this? I’ve been gracious enough.

    Xena instinctively struck at the person. To her surprise, the assailant grabbed her harm and disabled her. Then, she heard a familiar voice, “Xena, it’s me!”She stopped her next move and looked at the man before her. He smiled at her affectionately, waiting for her to compliment him. Xena was upset and amused, asking, “Did you set this up?”Hamish raised his brows and said proudly, “She served herself on a silver platter. I’d be a fool to let this chance slip by me.”Xena scoffed. She had left her men downstairs because she wanted to avoid alerting Mary. However, Xena could dismiss them now. She sat on the bed and texted Raymond, “Everything’s under control. Dismissed.”Since Hamish did not get the compliment sought, he pouted like a kid and went to ask for it, “How’d I do? I took care of both our parents in one swoop. That’ll save us plenty of trouble.”Xena giggled and pulled his necktie before pecking his lips. “There’s your reward.”Hamish was ecstatic. He held Xena and was

    Xena peered at it. Indeed, it was a simple ring, but it came with a deceptively straightforward mechanism. There was a button disguised as a diamond. A simple press would make it shoot a tiny piece of pill out of it. Obviously, there was no trace of a pill in it now.She was a little downhearted. “This is not strong evidence if there isn’t any pill in it. The Mary I know wouldn’t be wearing this ring at all times. So, how do you plan on proving that it belongs to her?”Hamish was stunned by what she said.“There’s probably some fingerprints or something. I’ll get it checked. Moreover, I’m sure there’s a security camera in the private room.”“She moved too nimbly for the camera to catch her movement. It wouldn’t help anyway. On the off chance that the camera captured her trick, it would’ve captured you swapping the glasses as well. That’ll further solidify the fact that you set her up.”They were still discussing it when his phone rang. It was Paisley.Realizing that he was ab

It didn’t matter what the truth was. They just couldn’t let anyone die tonight. They also subdued the naked stranger.Naturally, they didn’t dare involve the police in this.

    “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. I sided with you unreasonably. Is

    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,
