She guessed that Sally was doing it for her brother, not wishing to cause a huge ruckus.Sally looked at Conrad, who was by the side. “I’ll have to trouble you to hand that foreigner to the police.”Conrad did not hesitate. “Alright.”“Thank you all,” Sally said her thanks once more. “I have some work to do and need to make a trip to the office. I’ll make a move first.”“Sally…” Fia looked at her departing figure, feeling heartache, but she could only call out to her softly.Conrad walked over to her. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”Fia was heartbroken and leaned into Conrad’s embrace.“Conrad, I’m very sad.”Conrad hugged her and gently patted her arm. “Doctor Sally will be fine.”He had seen many people. Although Sally appeared gentle and weak, on the inside, she was strong.Kent said, feeling at a loss, “How could it be? I saw the footage. She was totally unconscious when Britney brought her to the hotel. It’s very clear that she had been schemed against by Britney.”Fia repli
Jason gave Kent an elegant smile. “Don’t be courteous with me. I am not her lover.”“Then what do you plan to do in the future?” Kent looked at Jason with a little pity.Jason replied, “I’ll manage Argonauts Corp well and work hard.”Kent replied rudely, “Then what about the aspect of romance? You can’t possibly keep hanging yourself to death on the same tree!”“I won’t hang to death, nor will I have the chance to hang.” Jason laughed self-deprecatingly. “There are a lot of things to do at the company now. Where would I have the mood to consider things of the heart?”“All of these are excuses! Maxwell Corporation is such a big company. Aren’t there many matters to deal with? Conrad still manages to follow his wife around!”“Kent, are you blind?” Jason sighed. “He has so many people under him while I am alone.”“Oh my, isn’t that quite pitiful!” Kent ridiculed him. “Why don’t I go to your company to help you?”“You’re not willing to inherit your family business but are willing t
Kent’s expression was a little stunned. “Does your face need to be bandaged?”He was afraid that he would not be able to learn this skill as a disciple. What if he turned her into a mummy!Sally swept him an odd glance. “My face is swollen, and there are no open wounds. There is no need for bandaging.”Not only was this person a little funny, his brain was not quite the same as the ordinary person.“Then what did you take the bandages for?” “Don’t you want to learn how to deal with wounds? You guys usually get hurt due to fights, driving too fast and falling asleep, hitting something, something or another. If it’s not an open wound, usually it’d be a bone injury, so I’m teaching you how to bandage an open wound.”Kent was a little speechless and smiled awkwardly. “Doctor Sally, how do you know us men so well?”“I’ve seen many patients, so I’ve come to understand.”Kent was speechless.Sally said seriously, “I’ll teach you how to bandage and deal with open wounds that are blee
Fia looked at Sophia, wanting very much to know what else she was good at besides having good moves.Conrad said, “Fia, I have something to do and have to make a trip. Wherever you go, get Sophia to follow you.”“Alright, go on!” It’ll only be easier for her to ask Sophia some questions after he leaves.Before Conrad left, he instructed Sophia, “Before I return, you cannot leave Fia’s side!”“Yes, sir!” Sophia saluted Conrad respectfully.Fia was speechless.Sophia was like a loyal little soldier while her husband was like a general.“Sophia, let me ask you some things!” Hearing Conrad drive away, Fia spoke excitedly.Sophia smiled. “Please go ahead.”“Sigh, stop standing in a military position. You’re making me nervous.” Fia got up and grabbed Sophia to sit down.“Why were you in that hotel?”Sophia replied, “Sir sent me there to be a spy!”Fia asked, “Does that hotel do things that cannot be seen by others privately?”“Yes.”“Isn’t it very dangerous to send a girl like
Yet, Sally loved Jason. Feeling her head aching from thinking about it, Fia shook her head to stop.“Sophia, I’m pregnant. So could you teach me some self-defense techniques?”“You’re pregnant, madam?” It was a pleasant surprise for Sophia, “How far along are you? Is it a boy? A girl?”Fia sighed. “It’s not developed enough to tell its gender yet.”“Oh my! It’s still wonderful news regardless if it's a boy or a girl! Don’t worry, madam! Silas and Tiger are too busy to do this but I can teach your child self-defense techniques myself! I’ll make sure no one gets to bully the young master or young miss!”“Okay! Thank you, Sophia!” Fia was really fond of Sophia. This girl had good looks and an easy-going, tomboyish personality.***At the police station, Conrad was brought to meet Finn. The latter was on the phone when Conrad walked into his office. Finn pointed at the chair in front of his desk, signalling him to take a seat. When Conrad sat down, the police officer who was escor
“Check the surveillance camera!” Finn walked to the door, worried that this could be an inside job.Conrad quickly stood up to stop him. “Director Parker, the manager has already been murdered. Do you think the foreigner will still be useful to us?”Finn did not know what to say to him. If the person behind the scenes could make a spineless coward like that manager to commit suicide, it was clear that these people held psychological leverage on him to the point that he would rather die than talk.If that was true, then letting the foreigner go would serve very little in furthering their investigation.“Very well. The man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We will give Ms. Sally Hall the closure that she needs.” Finn finally made up his mind.Conrad nodded and left the police station. He was glad that he did not disappoint his Fia this time.“Madam, it’s not advisable to learn martial arts when you’re pregnant.” Sophia, on the other hand, was trying her darndest to
During the examination, Peter detected some minor bleeding from Esme’s womb. So he gave her some tocolytic agents to avoid premature labor.When Esme wanted to get up from the table, Peter ordered her coldly, “Lie down!”Esme lay back and wept again. “I did not intend to harm Sally. It was really her own doing. She was drinking alcohol and in a bad mood. I wanted to bring her to a hotel to rest… I didn’t think…”“You can stop lying now!” Peter glared at her with his brooding, loathing eyes. “No matter how much you speak to me, I will never believe a word you say! I’m only saving you for the sake of the child in your womb!”“…”Esme froze in horror. It was not uncommon to see Peter getting angry with her. However, he had never looked at her like this before. His eyes were filled with hatred, as though he was looking at human filth. Seeing him like this made her perturbed and terrified. It had been quite some time since she had returned to Fortuna but she had not successfully exac
“Go. Leave and return to the Thomases.” Peter pulled his hand away from Esme’s embrace.Esme looked at him pitifully. “Aren’t you sending me there?”“I’ll pay you a visit later,” Peter responded coldly.Esme was so glad to hear this. Still, she maintained her pitiful, puppy face. “Okay. I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come to me, I’ll stay up at night and keep on waiting for you.”Peter nodded and saw her off. Then, he returned to his laboratory and dialed his home’s number.Upon picking the phone, Mrs. Hall spoke into the phone anxiously, “Peter, Sally and Britney went out for lunch. And they’re not back yet! Could Sally have run off with that man?!”Mrs. Hall’s words battered on Peter’s guilty conscience as he recalled the lie he made to confine Sally at home.“Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Sally has never had a boyfriend before and she’s not pregnant. I’m sorry. I’ve made a mistake.”“Huh?!” Mrs. Hall was confused and furious upon hearing this. “A mistake? How could you make
