"Did you do it?" Bethany pinched the phone tight, confronting. Danica looked bewildered, "What the hell? Did I do?" "Are you the one who tried to kill me last night and today?" Bethany stood up. Danica hesitated, then laughed, "Wow, it seemed like I wasn't the only one who hates you. Someone else went this far to take your life already!" "What do you mean? You didn't do it?" Bethany squinted her eyes. Danica curled her lips, "Of course , it wasn't me. I sure as hell want you dead, but since we were rivalries, everyone would point their fingers at me if you ever got into trouble. So clearly, I wasn't stupid enough to be a criminal. How about you think back on all the other adversaries you have made in the past?" Then she hung up as she finished. Bethany dropped the phone. Barbara looked down at her, "So she did it then, did she? My dear?" Bethany was rubbing against her temples, “I don't know. The reason why I called her is to test her. If she is the one, I would know something i
"No. I was saved by my mother in time." Bethany shook her head. "Is that so? That's great.” Jeff's grip on her shoulders loosened. She looked at the time. "Jeff, it's late, so I should go back. Donnie must be so worried since I left when she wasn't back yet” “I will drive you home." He picked up the car keys. She waved her hand. "No need. You are not off duty yet, so I will go back by myself." Seeing that she was so determined, he had to give up and put the keys back where they were kept then. “ Give me a call when you get home" "Mm," she replied with a smile, got up, and left. As soon as she left, he picked up his cell phone with a cold face and made a call. It was soon connected. And he directly shouted angrily on the phone, "Didn't I tell you to stop laying hands on Bethany? You almost took her life yesterday, and I did not do anything to you. But you still tried to kill her today! If you dare to try it another time, I will expose you!" "I got it. Don't worry. I won't lay ha
Roseanne felt her ears buzzing from the horn and she turned back in anger, “Who is it?”“It's me” Zayn got down from the car. Roseanne quickly put away the anger on her face and blinked in disbelief, “Mr. Meyer? Why are you here?”“I was just passing by. What's wrong with her?” His eyes landed on Bethany? Bethany buried her head on Roseanne's shoulders and the falling hair covered her face completely “Bethany is drunk” Roseanne said helplessly. “You have been drinking, huh?” Zayn narrowed his eyes and asked. She nodded.“Benny is a bit sad.”“sad? ” he pursed his thin lips, “Why?” She looked at him angrily and muttered, “Why? It is all because of you." "Huh?" He could not hear her clearly and scowled. She returned to her senses and shook her head quickly. "It's nothing. Mr. Meyer, can you drive us to the nearest subway station?" "Get in." He pulled open the door of the back seat. She hurriedly said thanks and helped Bethany get into the car. He also sat back in the car, glanced
Zayn's pupils slightly contracted as he stared at her, "My apartment." “Why am l in your apartment, Mr. Meyer?” Bethany lifted her arm and rubbed her swollen temples, trying to sit up. But once she moved her body, she moaned in pain and her body fell back onto the sofa. Her head became dizzy due to the fall and memories of last night began to emerge in her mind bit by bit. After remembering that she had that kind of thing with Zayn last night, she did not feel good. Bethany stiffly turned her neck and blankly stared at the man wearing a clean white bathrobe on the sofa. She spoke after quite some time, "Mr. Meyer, last night, we..." “Regarding what happened last night, I'll be responsible for you!" Zayn handed the clothes to her. Bethany took the clothes and put them on the armrest of the sofa and then covered herself with the blanket. She endured the pain and sat up, "No need, I don't need you to be responsible!" Zayn's eyes instantly narrowed, "What did you Say?”Bethany lo
Zayn was indeed meticulous enough. He was so meticulous that he even prepared the contraceptive pill. Was he so worried about her getting pregnant and didn't want that? Bethany gripped the box in her hand. Although she was clear that Zayn's action of letting her take the pill was not wrong, she still felt a little bad. However, Bethany did not dwell on it. After letting out a sigh, she directly opened the box, took out the instructions, and read them once. She then took two capsules and threw them into her mouth. Then, she picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and swallowed them together with water. After taking the pill, she took the phone and intended to send a message to Zayn to tell him that she had taken the medicine, to reassure him. But after thinking about it, she felt it would be bad if Jessica or Danica accidentally saw her message. Therefore, Bethany deleted the line of text she had typed without hesitation and exited the texting application. Then, she tappe
"I've been back a couple of days already," Barbara said with a slight smile.Antonio rubbed the dragon head on his cane, "All these years, how have you been abroad?” He asked with a tone filled with supposed concerns. Barbara rubbed the emerald green ring, an heirloom from her grandmother, on her index finger, "Of course, I'm doing great. Look how young and lively I am. You, on the other hand..."She looked at his cane, then fixed her eyes on his white hair, and laughed, "You look way older than when we last saw each other seven years back. What?, has this person been sucking you dry?” Barbara pursed her lips at Daphne. Antonio coughed to hide his feelings of awkwardness and said nothing. Daphne could tell Barbara was dissing her, and raised a hand, ready to slap her. Bethany squinted, and grabbed Daphne's wrist, "Daphne, you'd best not to resort to violence Otherwise, I'll call the cops on you for assault and battery!” "You... ” Daphne glared at Bethany. Barbara then patted Beth
"Don't say that. It won't happen."Zayn frowned. Jessica smiled bitterly, saying, "Zayn, you knew about my health condition. And Dr. Emerson told me that even if I'm discharged from hospital after recovering, I cannot stay alive for more than ten years!" Then, she turned around and left, lonely. Zayn pursed his thin lips, then looked down from the railing, and ran after Jessica. On the first floor, Bethany stopped chatting with Barbara and looked up, towards the second floor's railing. Seeing no one there, she was a little confused. "What's wrong, sweet?" Barbara noticed something wrong with Bethany and looked up, but saw nothing. Bethany shook her head and said, "Nothing. It just felt like someone was looking at me. Maybe it's my illusion” "I think you're right." Barbara fixed Bethany's hair. Bethany blinked her eyes, saying.“ Did you see someone, Donnie?” “No, my girl is such a beauty, so it's strange if no one looked at you,” Barbara said with a smile. “Donnie!!' Bethany di
A week had passed. Bethany picked up her bag, put it on her shoulder, and left the room. Outside the hospital, she took a cab and left for work. Not far from where Bethany took the cab, a man sat in a black Mercedes. He turned around to the man in the back seat, "Mr. Meyer, Ms. Quest has left." “Of course,” Zayn saw it just now. He raised his chin slightly, "I saw it. Bring the nutritional supplement from the trunk to Addy, and tell her to put some in Vella's meals each time.Remember, remind her too..” "Be careful not to be found out by Ms. Quest, right? ” Gael interrupted him with a smile. Zayn took a glance at Gael silently and coldly.Gael was frightened by his glance and hurriedly got out of the car to get the things and walked into the hospital. Ten minutes later, he came back, holding his phone in his hand, and said, "Mr. Meyer, the bidding department just called me. They asked me if you wanted to go to the winter season fashion bidding." "When is it?" Zayn looked up from
