At this moment, Sigrid still didn't know that her escape plan would never succeed. She wallowed in her sadness. Rachel felt very happy on this day. The night before, she'd finally managed to convince Charles to allow her to move in with Cyrus after their engagement. This meant that from now on, she and Cyrus were free to do anything they wanted! Charles wouldn't be able to control them anymore! Initially, Rachel had thought that she still had to overcome her parents after convincing Charles. Who would have known that her parents were more open-minded than her brother was? They'd agreed in a jiffy, and Charles was the main issue. In this regard, Rachel silently cursed her brother to remain a virgin. Let Charles be aggrieved! Seeing his younger sister getting engaged, Charles had a few more drinks than usual. He wasn't drunk, but he was definitely less rational than usual. Gradually, the smell of alcohol permeated the hall. Sigrid was worri
Rachel was bitter. She was worried that Cyrus wouldn't agree to sleep with her anytime soon after her nosebleed incident on this day. She took out her mobile phone and began to text Sigrid. "I feel so aggrieved." "Cyrus wants to sleep in a separate room from me." "It's all my fault, having a nosebleed at this time. How stupid could I be!" Sigrid had been sleeping earlier ever since she became pregnant. However, because of Rachel's engagement party, she still had to bathe Tianna after returning to the hotel. Hence, she was still awake at this hour. She was a little confused after seeing Rachel's messages. Since Tianna was already asleep, and George was bathing, she started texting Rachel. "What's the situation? Is there a more detailed explanation?" Rachel replied, "I was about to do something indescribable with Cyrus. In the end, I had a nosebleed. I am such a failure. I feel it is impossible to succeed sleeping with him soon."
Waverley's face turned pale. "Charles, what do you mean by that?" "I have to apologize, Miss Lawson. You rushed in so haplessly, and even tried to pin something like that on me. I have no other choice but to pursue legal action." Charles smiled faintly. With that, he opened the door to show the crowd the room. Aside from the bed, which was slightly messy, there wasn't a soul in sight. A few of the reporters turned pale. Fake tip off? Had they risked being subject to Charles' revenge for nothing? Waverley's face was deadly pale. Her lips trembled as she mumbled, "It's impossible..." "Ladies and gentlemen. I think most of the major media outlets have a representative here? Well then, I would like to announce that I'm breaking off my engagement with Miss Waverley Lawson." Charles couldn't be bothered about Waverley. He spoke directly to the reporters. He chuckled lightly. "I hope that all of you present will report this honestly, in case someone tries t
Derrick's expression became hideous. He roared at Waverley, "What did you do to make Mr. Miller upset?!" Waverley was startled. Derrick had always spoiled her. She'd never seen him like this, at least not towards her. "I..." Waverley's tears streamed down her face. "Last night, Wrenna..." Derrick frowned. "What does this have to do with Wrenna?" "Wrenna stayed out all night, and I just smelled Charles' cologne on her..." Needless to say, Derrick understood what was going on. Derrick slammed a hand on the table furiously. "Wrenna Lawson, how can you be so unscrupulous?!" Wrenna answered calmly, "You shouldn't only listen to one side of the story. I'm going to debut soon. Wouldn't I be ruining my own career if words were to get out that I'd slept with my future brother-in-law?" "Oh, wait. I shouldn't be addressing him as my brother-in-law anymore. I meant, Mr. Miller." Wrenna smiled faintly. Waverley's eyes were shooting poison at her
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Wrenna looked at Charles, who was walking towards her, in a daze and asked, "Me?" "Yes." He put on a faint smile and pulled her into his arms. Derrick was also pinned to his seat. "Mr. Miller, you...you're not here to marry Waverley?" "Who would want to marry her?" Charles didn't mask his disdain. "Oh yes, Miss Lawson, did you read the lawyer's letter?" Waverley was stunned. "What do you mean by that?" Wasn't he here to beg for her forgiveness? What was going on? Waverley let out a cry, "Charles, you don't need to force yourself to marry Wrenna just to piss me off." Charles glanced at her contemptuously. "Are you even worthy of me going through so much trouble to piss you off?" Wrenna, wrapped up in Charles' arms, felt like she couldn't breathe. She lightly pushed against his chest, only to end up being wrapped up tighter. "Miss Lawson, thanks to you, Wrenna and I had a sweet and romantic nig
George had no idea what was going through Sigrid's mind. All he knew was that she was particularly obedient this night... which also made Sigrid determined to leave the next day! The next morning, Sigrid hurriedly washed up after she woke up. After that, she boiled a pot of water to make some tea. Subsequently, she put the sleeping pills in the kettle that had no water. After George woke up and washed up, they had breakfast together. After they'd had some tea, she started to pour water into the kettle. Once she was sure that the pills had dissolved, she looked at George. Seeing that he was working at the hotel desk and not paying attention to her, she sighed in relief, then turned on the switch. The kettle wasn't boiling the water fast enough. As Sigrid waited, she took a look at Tianna, then realized Tianna was staring at her with her large, innocent eyes. Sigrid's heart trembled. There wouldn't be such a coincidence for Tianna to see it again! Oh, dear!
His breath fanned out over her neck, teasing her and making her itch. At the same time, it was...scarily cold. Sigrid turned around stiffly and saw George standing behind her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. Seeing his fake smile, Sigrid felt guilty. She laughed awkwardly and said, "I...I was going to buy some dinner." George raised an eyebrow. "Since when have you needed to get dinner on your own?" Sigrid looked away with some embarrassment. "I heard that there was a restaurant selling delicious food here, but they don't do deliveries. So I came here to get some takeaway." "Then why were you selling your phone and buying a new one? You've even changed your clothes. Weren't you getting ready to escape?" Sigrid was at a loss. She was wondering what went wrong with her escape plan this time. George took back Sigrid's phone from the boss. "This phone is not for sale." Immediately afterwards, he pulled Sigrid away and left. "Wai
Sigrid was taken aback. She looked at him in astonishment. "Why did you handcuff me?" When did he buy this sort of thing? Was it a cheap adult toy ordered online? "This is to prevent you from escaping." He lowered his head which made their faces only a few centimeters apart. Even though they had close contact before, Sigrid still felt very embarrassed at this moment. She blushed and swallowed her saliva, muttering, "I know I made a mistake." "Really?" He took the ring she had left before and put it back on her. "I've warned you previously not to escape. Why are you so disobedient? Or... must I use another way to warn you so that you'll understand it better?" Sigrid looked at him pitifully. "I really know I made a mistake." "You're just saying that, but you're planning on being obedient to make me put my guard down before escaping, aren't you?" George raised an eyebrow. Why was he so smart! For him to know this, it meant that he coul
