"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
Joanna frowned, "Tell me what?" Bethany smiled, "That I have a studio myself? And i'm sure you know my studio. You must not have forgotten It. My studio is called Blue Dreams” "What? Blue dreams is your studio?” Joanna was shocked, which even made her voice sharp. Bethany nodded, "That's right. I know you must be very surprised. Speaking of which, I bought the factory office of my studio with the few millions from you. As for the money to buy the machines? I have to thank Daphne for creating such a good opportunity for me to get other million from your father. Well, thank you both so much!" Knowing the truth, Joanna was so furious that her face twisted and she clenched her trembling fists tightly. She finally knew that the studio which sued her and made her lose all her money was owned by Bethany. The even more infuriating thing for her was that Daphne who was her own mother, knew that Bethany was the owner of the Blue dream studio but didn't tell her the truth. After taking a d
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
