Colin and I looked at Amelia.Regardless of what would happen tomorrow, her testimony was crucial to the current circumstances.Although it wouldn't affect the outcome, it would affect our mood."If we find out you didn't do your job properly, we'll hold you accountable." I had to make it clear to her.It might seem horrible to force Amelia, but I didn't think so. I just wanted her to tell the truth.This truth was important to us.Fortunately, Amelia didn't disappoint us. She looked weak, yet she could see the seriousness of the matter.She bit her lip timidly at first, hesitated a few times, and then swiftly became firm.She was scared, but she hadn't lost her mind. After some deliberation, she looked at Colin and responded, "I remember clearly that I've locked the rehabilitation room door. I even checked it again at 8:00 pm during the patrol inspection."Someone must have taken extraordinary measures to open the door. Every corridor is monitored. You'll know if I have been
Colin was sincere. Jasmine became like this because of Colin. Naturally, it was also related to me. We sincerely cared about her health."I'm too tired. The wound hurts so much. I just want to rest and not bother anymore. Colin, thanks for thinking about me. You don't have to go through all the hassle."Amy, you must be tired, too. Have a rest. Nobody wants this to happen. It'd be better not to waste everyone's time. I won't blame anyone."Jasmine declined softly, brushed her hair, and returned to looking weak.She seemed considerate of others. However, she implied that Amelia's negligence at work was to blame for what happened. Jasmine had pretended to show generosity by not holding Amelia accountable. She wanted Amelia to be grateful to her.She even wanted to manipulate the innocent Amelia. What a master of hypocrisy.Fortunately, Colin wouldn't be fooled by her.I chimed in, "Jasmine, you must speak out if you feel uncomfortable. Don't hold it in. If anything goes wrong, you
"Ms. Jasmine, I know you didn't mean that. But I have a soulmate. It's inconvenient for me to be here late at night. It'll affect your reputation. It's late. You should get some rest. I'll go back with Lulu first."I'll come back tomorrow morning to follow up on the matters. I'll give you and Ms. Amelia an explanation. I won't let anyone be wronged. Please rest assured."Colin bowed slightly like a gentleman. He maintained a straight posture and spoke as if he would accept the blame. Nobody could find fault with anything he said or did.It was also a reminder to Sophia, Gavin, and Baz.Sophia wasn't stupid. She could naturally hear Colin's hidden meaning. After knowing the truth, she smiled unnaturally and thanked him. She then added that it wasn't a big deal and to forget about the incident.No matter how shameless Jasmine was, she couldn't bear the embarrassment of the man she liked rejecting her in front of his girlfriend. Her neck turned red with embarrassment, and she said no
Before I could say anything, he addressed himself as my soulmate. He was so shameless.I shove his face away. "I haven't asked you yet. When did you get a soulmate? Who did you marry behind my back?"Colin deftly avoided my hand and stuck to my face again. "You're my wife. I'm your husband. We're soulmates, of course. If you're in a rush, we can get married as soon as the courthouse opens. How about I go back and give you all my wealth first?""Hmph, who's in a rush? You're the only one who's in a rush.""Yes, I am, but I can't marry alone. Baby, when are you going to give me a pass? Do you realize how heartless it is to only hug you without doing anything further?"Colin pretended to be aggrieved again. He stuffed me into the passenger seat, fastened my seat belt, and started the car.When this topic came up, I felt overwhelmed. I was so useless.I was usually good at refuting. However, when it came to speaking about our relationship, I would lose my eloquence. I simply pretend
Colin's words were unexpectedly cold. His previously hidden annoyance had risen to the surface and was visible.Jasmine's schemes and provocations had constantly irritated this gentle and elegant man."Luna is my bottom line. Anyone who hurts her will have to pay a price... Yes, including you. We won't be together. Don't waste your time on me. Do your best to rehabilitate. I'll try my best to repay you for your life-saving kindness, but I won't give you my love. It'll disgust me."After saying that, Colin hung up the phone and flung it on the bed. He turned around and stood by the window. His expression was darker than the sky outside.He attracted a troublesome admirer and got upset, but he wanted me to comfort him. It seemed that I had doted on him too much.Given how well he was used to me, I was willing to dote on him in return.I walked over and hugged his waist from behind. Then, I pressed my face against his back and said in a muffled voice, "Don't be angry. What are your
This had troubled me for a long time. I'd like to know the answer.If I were seriously injured, my parents would be so anxious that they would fly from another country and stay with me all day. They wouldn't be absent.Jasmine was either an orphan or her identity was mysterious, and she didn't want us to know."She kept her identity secret. I also contacted people at Lincoln University to retrieve her files, but the person in charge had family affairs to attend to and hasn't responded to me."Colin and I took advantage of the opportunity and had an in-depth talk about Jasmine.I had always wanted to speak with him to better understand his feelings toward her.It was important for the future of the three of us. I must make it clear.Colin didn't hide anything and told me his thoughts. He and Jasmine were merely friends and had no secret romance. What we had to do was to take care of her and let her recover as soon as possible.With the confidence he gave me, I knew how to deal w
When I saw Lilac's state, I looked at Felix with disdain. She looked very similar to Queenie that day. Had he injured her?I couldn't figure it out. How could he still sleep with Lilac after how she treated him?Did he get less picky? I had no idea what I should say to him.After what he had done, he should treat Lilac properly. After all, she was carrying his child in her belly. Why did he have to get rid of his child? He was so cruel!Winston wasn't present. I wondered how he knew that Felix was in trouble and informed us. That was odd.I asked Colin. He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.Judging from his gloomy expression, the situation might have surprised and troubled him.Hannah and I had been getting along for a while. She was cheerful and lively. I had a certain understanding of her character.Lilac must have known Hannah had a crush on Felix and specially invited her over to cause trouble. As a result, Felix found out. The duel between the two grew
If that person were Felix, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than seduce him.Besides, I had my wonderful boyfriend, Colin. How could I fall in love with Felix again? I'd only lose more than I gain.I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. And I would never accept Lilac's slanderous accusation against me.I gathered strength and wanted to slap her face to make her shut her stinky mouth, which was spouting rubbish.However, the pool of blood under her body was so striking that I came to a halt.My eyes stung as I remembered Queenie lying lifeless in a pool of blood.Lilac was hateful and deserved a lesson, but her life was at stake. I couldn't ignore her.I looked at Colin. He was putting away the phone, nodding and assuring me that he had called an ambulance.The ambulance arrived soon. After carrying Lilac, the doctor asked us who was following.Felix entered the ambulance silently. Hannah wanted to follow but didn't dare, so she held my hand firmly.I reluctantly fo
