Charlene asked, "What realization?""It's just that I've realized being a bit selfish is okay because some people never understand that what they gain comes from others' concessions. I let go once before, and I don't want to do it again this time. I've ended up with scars on myself without gaining anything in return.“This kind of losing deal is enough for once. Remember, don't force what you can't get, and don't let go of what's yours!" Xena explained.Charlene frowned, "Are you reminding me?"Xena smiled and raised an eyebrow at her, "Aren't you two getting along well?"Charlene lowered her head, gently shaking it, "Not really. He's extremely polite to me. We have never had physical contact. I feel like he's not happy around me.“He cares about his girlfriend but has to take care of me. I feel sorry for him. If he doesn't care for me, he's ungrateful, but if he neglects his girlfriend, he's heartless. But when I tell him to take care of his girlfriend, he doesn't return. I don'
Sophia was quite petty. She would always seek revenge. Even though it wasn't revenge, she wanted to make him uneasy."He just hung up on me," she complained.Lucy chuckled, "What if he's dealing with something urgent? It's better to call and ask him rather than sulking here."Sophia hesitated.After a brief pause, the ringing resumed.Reluctantly, Sophia slid to answer, but she remained silent. Instead, she walked out to the balcony with her phone.Elliot’s voice came through.Sophia didn't respond.Elliot sensed her slight annoyance and chuckled softly, "I was just tracking someone earlier, afraid of being caught, so I hung up. It won't happen again."Hearing this, Sophia decided not to be sulky anymore, "Who were you tracking?"Elliot laughed, "I thought you were ignoring me."Sophia, feeling justified, replied, "You hung up on me and turned off your phone. Did you think I wanted to keep calling you? Do you expect me to call you twice a day? If you find it annoying, just s
Sophia chuckled in exasperation, "Mind your business! My husband likes me just the way I am."Avery glanced at Charlene, who had indeed stopped crying.Sophia found a chair and sat down. "How do you feel about being in the hospital these past few days?"Charlene replied, "I never want to come back again.""It's good that you have that memory." Sophia paused and then asked, "You're getting discharged the day after tomorrow?""Huh? How did you know?"Sophia said mysteriously, "I just had a hunch."She then looked at Avery. "Has the accident been resolved?"Avery nodded, "Yeah, the police determined the driver was drunk. He apologized and seemed genuinely remorseful. They've taken action."Sophia's expression turned serious. "Did you investigate personally?"Avery replied, "I checked the surveillance footage, too. I didn't see any issues."Sophia pursed her lips, not saying anything further. After all, she didn't have any evidence either.She stayed for a moment, then prepared
The screen froze when Michelle opened her eyes and looked at the car. Her eyes were full of malice and madness, as if she could push anyone out at any moment.Sophia suddenly gasped. Does that mean Michelle already knew the car was coming towards them? Did she orchestrate this accident to play the hero? But these are just her speculations, and no one can be convinced.After some thought, she texted Xena, "Help me find him!"Below, she attached a screenshot of the driver. After sending it, she didn't expect Xena to reply, especially since it was so late. To her surprise, Xena replied soon after, "Isn't this the driver who hit Charlene? Why are you looking for him?"“I suspect that Michelle staged this accident. Find him, but don't alert him."“Did you visit Charlene?”“Yeah, she cried for a long time.”“What happened? Did your brother's girlfriend bully her again?”“No, it's because the back of her head was shaved. She just found out, and man, she was gasping for breath as she c
Avery asked, "Who's your boss?"Charlene worried that Nixton might spill the beans and hastily replied, "My brother.""Oh, where are we going?"Nixton said, "Just follow us."Then he instructed Charlene again, "Xena wants you both to come too."Charlene nodded and glanced at Xena, feeling her brother was mysterious.Although Avery was full of suspicion, he didn't see any reason not to go, especially with Charlene there.However, Michelle suddenly said, "We're not going. We're not familiar with him."Nixton looked at Michelle, "Ms. Michelle, it's better not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"Michelle suddenly felt offended. She stepped forward, "Who does he think he is? What can he do to me if I don't go?"However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind. The man appeared beside her in a flash, a dagger pressed against her waist.Michelle felt paralyzed, her body stiff and unable to move, "D-Don't do anything rash. There are surveillanc
Michelle panicked and stood up before he could finish, "You're talking nonsense! What do you mean by being instructed by me? What did I ask you to do?"The driver glanced at Michelle, "Ms. Michelle, I didn't want to implicate you, but you saw it yourself. My life is in danger."Michelle anxiously said, "Even if your life was in danger, you shouldn't drag others down. Did I ask you to drive and crash into me?"The driver helplessly replied, "Of course, you wouldn’t want me to hit you. You wanted me to hit Mr. Avery."Avery was stunned. He turned to Michelle, incredulous, "You wanted him to crash into me?"Michelle was also taken aback, "No, it's not like that, Avery, don't listen to his nonsense."The driver said, "She didn't want your life."Michelle hurriedly agreed, "Yes, I just wanted to be with you. Why would I want someone to crash into you?"The driver continued, "She wanted your bodyguard's life. She noticed your bodyguard liked you, so she tried to eliminate her. But si
Avery said, "No, I have always felt sorry."Andrew's voice turned sharp, "Of course, you should feel sorry. She saved you, yet you nearly killed her. Essentially, you and your girlfriend are no different. I even suspect that this accident was a conspiracy between you and your girlfriend to harm my sister!"Avery frowned, "No, I didn't mean to. It was just a subconscious act at the time, and—"Andrew raised his hand to stop him, "Enough, I don't want to hear your explanation."Then he instructed the bodyguard, "As a favor to my sister, take one of his legs!"The bodyguard immediately responded and approached Avery.Charlene was scared to death. She stood a few steps before Avery, arms outstretched to stop the bodyguard. "No, you can't touch him!"She looked at Andrew, "Brother, this has nothing to do with him."Andrew stared at Charlene coldly, "I said not to plead for him anymore. Don't you understand human language?"Charlene defiantly met his gaze, "If you want to touch him,
Andrew stared at Charlene's tear-streaked face, angry and amused. He felt like the head of a family disciplining naughty children."I only hit him a few times, and you're already this upset?!" he exclaimed.Charlene retorted, "You know I care about him, and you still hit him.""He deserved it!" Andrew retorted.Avery said, "Yeah, it helps me feel better."Charlene glared at him. "Are you dumb? How could you be feeling better now?"She pressed on his cracked lip without hesitation.Avery winced instinctively in pain.Charlene smirked, though tears still welled up in her eyes.He reached up to wipe her tears away. "Silly."Because Charlene intervened and Avery was badly beaten, Andrew decided not to press the matter further with Avery. He turned his gaze slowly toward Michelle. "Come on, let's settle our score!"Michelle staggered back and instinctively tried to escape when she reached the door. But just as she got there, a guard pushed her back.Leticia grabbed her and kicke
