Rose leaned her back against the window and clenched her fists.“Josephine, I’ll grab him. You run away quickly!”“No, I can’t leave you—”“If you stay, we’ll both die,” Rose said.Josephine turned pale.Finally, she bid Rose solemnly, “You must hold on and wait for me to come back.”Josephine then leaped down the bed and wanted to get to the door to flee.The man stared at her with hostility. “You want to escape? Dream on.” The needle flew and jabbed into Josephine’s back.“Brother, I’m your sister. You won’t even let me go?” Josephine had an expression of fear and trepidation on her face.She slowly retreated to the door.Rose suddenly strode forward, did a spinning kick, and struck the man’s neck.The man was angered by Rose. He turned around and swung his fist at her.Josephine took this opportunity to escape.The man wanted to settle Rose quickly, but she clung to him tightly. After the spinning kick, she was beaten to the ground with a punch.Thanks to her agility f
Jay was so shocked by the nightmare that he sat up immediately!Dense sweat perspired on his forehead as his chest beat fiercely from his rapid breathing.“Angeline!”Jay lifted the quilt. Wearing only snow-colored pyjamas, he fled outside desperately.It was only a few hundred meters between the Fragrant Vessel Court and Josephine’s residence, but Jay felt like he could never reach the end.Josephine’s villa was now submerged in a huge black backdrop.The gate to the garden was wide open!The gate to the villa was also open!Jay suddenly had a bad feeling. He tore his throat and shouted while running up the stairs, “Rose?“Josephine?”However. no one responded!Jay went straight to Josephine’s bedroom. The door to the bedroom was also wide open and cold wind blew in from the window.Jay looked at the broken window as panic filled his eyes.“Angeline?”He turned on the lights. The traces of struggle on the ground were still there. The glass and the bloodstains… Everything
Jay opened his mouth easily, a vicious voice sounding out, “On the day of my wife’s accident, your family caused a great mess. You told me it was a coincidence, but I’m inclined to believe it was your deliberate conspiracy to harm others.“James, if anything happens to my wife, I want all of you and your family to be buried together with her.”James gulped.Every cell in his body seemed to be frozen.It made him feel a bone-piercing cold.He thought that his foresight had always been very sharp and precise his entire life. Yet with regards to Rose, he really made an oversight.Jay had never been close to women, so why did he have to love Rose Loyle, who was nothing special to look at, so crazily?“Grayson, see the guest out,” Jay said indifferently.“Yes, Mr. Ares!” Grayson responded.Jay regarded James scornfully. “In the future, if this person comes to look for me again, just beat him and drive him out.”James’ face paled…“Jay, you hate me this much?”Grayson shot the gu
“I love you!”His deep and quiet eyes had become bloodshot with anger and pain.His cold tears were contaminated by the scarlet blood, so red that it was completely terrifying.“I’ll surely avenge you!”In the morning, a ray of sunlight scattered on the floor through the thin window screen. The window screen danced and many overlapping spots of light were left on the floor.Jay sat in the corner, his snow-colored pajamas draped loosely on him. That fair, chiseled, handsome face was about the size of a palm. The quiet and deep eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, cold light. His messed up hair gave him an indolent and dejected aura.Yet, he was so beautiful like a banished immortal!“Daddy!”From downstairs came all of a sudden the soft and affectionate voices of children.Then, footsteps sounded on the stairs.His unmoving eyes moved slightly. The bedroom door creaked suddenly as a small head peeked through the crack in the door.The fair face, black glassy eyes, and long c
Rose touched her rough uneven cheeks and forehead, mocking herself bitterly, "Is there not even an untouched spot at all?" The kind-hearted female doctor comforted her. "Don't worry, you can have plastic surgery after your face has healed. By that time, I'll definitely turn you into the most beautiful girl in the world."Rose seemed to be touched...The atmosphere suddenly fell into a long silence.“Sis Angeline, did you hear that? The doctor said that she can turn you into the most beautiful girl." Rose nodded and said, "Josephine, I've possibly been blessed from this tragedy."Josephine teared up, feeling moved by her resilience and optimism. "You always make me admire you completely." Rose explained, "Josephine, I can finally become Angeline again."Josephine became silent.She actually felt very puzzled. After all those misfortunes that Rose had gone through, how could she still want to return to the identity that caused her pain?However, Josephine chose to respect
However, Josephine still looked solemn. "Then, who's that man who looked exactly like my brother?" Rose's expression became sad. "Who knows?" Three days later. When Rose was packing her luggage in preparation to return to her home country, Josephine had come out dressed in a white suit and had a straight haircut from who knew where. Her handsome face also held a soft masculinity. "Sis, do you think I look handsome?" Rose was dumbfounded. "You were a good looking girl, so why'd you change yourself to look manly?"Josephine raised Rose's chin and flirted with her lightly. "From today onward, I'll be the green leaves that protect you."Rose grumbled with her pouty lips, "You’re treating me so well that I'm almost suspecting that I've influenced your sexuality." Josephine smacked her lips and said, "It'd be great if there were no Zayne or Jay in this world. Both of us, two like-minded girls, would definitely be soulmates." Rose then said, "It's not bad for you to
After Rose left, Jay entered Old Master Severe's ward with a sullen face.Grayson put the flowers into the vase and the cake on the table by the window. When he saw an exquisite matcha cake already present on the table, Grayson cried out in surprise, "President!"Jay stood beside the hospital bed, quietly looking at the sleeping Old Master Severe. Hearing Grayson’s surprised voice all of a sudden, Jay turned his head.Grayson was already holding the small matcha cake and walked toward Jay. "Mr. Ares, look. Someone came before us."Jay, after seeing the exquisite cake with the English letters 'happy' made from fruits, suddenly widened his eyes. He immediately stretched out his hand and used his finger to swipe the edge of the matcha cake before putting it in his mouth to taste.The familiar taste made his heart bloom with joy.Jay then suddenly ran outside as if he was mad.He was confident that Angeline had come back just now.The cake was Angeline’s work.He took the el
Zayne then replied angrily, "No."Jay was too lazy to be bothered by Zayne and directly instructed Grayson, "Grayson, check the security footage immediately. I want to know who brought over this matcha cake.""Yes." Grayson turned around and walked out.Zayne glared at Jay angrily.Jay said softly, "Angeline's death wasn't an accident. There was someone who murdered her deliberately."Zayne was indignant. "Who else other than you?""It seems that Angeline had learned a secret that she shouldn't have, so someone wanted to kill her."This person pretended to be me, making Angeline mistakenly believe that I was going to kill her." He paused, then said in a daze, "For a long time, she didn't dare to open her heart to me, even protecting herself against me in all respects, which made me unable to protect her..."While looking at Zayne, he continued, "If you know some secret information, you must tell me the truth. It's very important for me to find the murderer." "Mushroom
