George nodded and said, "These two people only got into a relationship after graduating from college. Their conditions are pretty good. They are not the kind of people who couldn't find a boyfriend or girlfriend even after four years in college." Sigrid felt a little strange. However, she pondered and said, Since that's the case, we are already married. Both Cyrus and Rachel also don't satisfy this condition. We could finally rest for the time being." George nodded, but still thought about the matter. Based on the current analysis, they were indeed safe. However, what if their analysis was wrong? He looked at Sigrid for a while and said, "Even so, you'd better not go out during this period of time. The murderer should also be arrested as soon as possible." Sigrid nodded quickly and said, "That's not a problem." Life is more important. She had a lot of money. There was so much money deposited into her account every month. She did not have any worries anym
Sigrid knew about this matter, and she also knew that Ariel was actually Natasha. At that moment, Natasha was not far away discussing how to do the shoot next with the director. She saw that she and Christin were not looking at each other. Christin was probably still unaware of her identity. When Christin talked about this, he became gloomy and said, "Yes, we are already together. However, she treats me so coldly. She knew that I used to be interested in Natasha before. In fact, she was not even jealous when she knew that I was working together with her this time." George and Sigrid were speechless. What was he talking about? Why should she be jealous? Aren't they the same person? "Previously, I was worried that she would immediately break up with me after we got together. However, now I have to rack my brains every day to think of ways to make her jealous. I'm afraid she doesn't like to eat sour food..." When Christin thought of his girlfriend, he still looked frust
Otherwise, who was he going to complain to if Ariel found an excuse to break up with him? "Yes, of course!" Natasha nodded quickly. The video shoot went quite well under the director's instructions. Sigrid looked at the filming process in front of her and felt that it was not easy for Natasha. As soon as it was Jonason's turn to shoot, he got close to Miley. It was as if he had found an opportunity to take advantage of her. Miley was also known to be very professional. She would cooperate as much as possible for the sake of work. Only Christin and Natasha had been filming for such a long time. Finally, the filming session ended. Natasha was so exhausted that she immediately laid herself down on the reclining chair. The director was at the side, watching the end product of the music video shoot. After he was done watching, he said, "Okay, we're done. Time to call it a day." Everyone began to sort things out. Natasha waved her hand and said,
Miley thought for a moment and agreed with her. They wandered outside for a long time. And without realizing it, they arrived somewhere where there was no one around. "We seem to have wandered a little farther." Natasha looked around and asked, "Which direction is the hotel?" "I don't know either. Let's find our way back," said Miley. She took out her phone. They realized something awkward. What was the name of the hotel? Miley thought about it for a long time but could not recall the name. She took out her room keycard and looked for the hotel's name on it. She searched for it and began to walk according to the navigation. Natasha glanced at her and said, "There's still some distance to go. Hurry up." Miley nodded. They walked all the way and suddenly saw a public toilet. Natasha said, "Wait a moment. I need to use the toilet. I had too much water." "Okay, then. Hurry up." Miley felt that the public toilet smelled bad and did not want to
Natasha was startled when she heard this. "The person attacked you? Why?" Miley shook her head and gave it a thought. After a moment, she said, "Maybe I look similar to his girlfriend? He said, as long as I go back with him, he will let me go. I nodded at him to buy myself some time. He pretended not to see it and wanted to kill me. He also said that he would strangle me and cut off my legs so that I will never leave him anymore." It was indeed a crime of passion. However, these few people who died might have some similarities with the murderer's lover. He killed two people within a day and also attacked another. The number of crimes was increasing. Jonason directly carried her up and said, "Let's go back first. Natasha, call the crew and ask them to contact the doctors nearby." "Okay." Natasha hurriedly made a phone call. Miley only felt a little relieved after Jonason carried her. She was too shaken by what had just happened. When t
He knew that although she pretended that she didn't care, in fact, she was actually jealous when she knew he worked with Natasha that time. She pretended to be indifferent. However, in fact, she secretly liked him very much! If Ariel knew what he was thinking at the moment, she would be angry. However, at the moment, she couldn't say that she was afraid and didn't dare to sleep alone because of what had happened to Miley earlier. She could only say, "I just came here for a walk. I suddenly thought you were here as well. That's why I came to look for you." Christin didn't believe her at all. He didn't even tell her his room number. Since she knew it, she must have specifically checked it. Besides, didn't she come to sleep with him since it was already at this hour? Christin asked her to rest in the living room first and said, "Have a seat. I'll shower first. I'll be out soon!" Christin meant it when he said he'll be done really quickly. It only too
Christin put on his pajamas, looking hurt. He thought, "My girlfriend isn't interested in my body at all! Am I still a single man?" After Christin got dressed, he sat down beside her and asked, "Didn't you miss me? Why aren't you happy to see me naked?" "I don't miss you!" Ariel looked at him disdainfully. She indeed didn't miss Christin at all. After all, she had been working with him in the past few days using Natasha's identity. She even had to work overtime because he didn't cooperate well with her. She almost had to stand all the time without getting a rest. She secretly hated him. How could she miss him! She was only there at that time because she had been frightened by Miley's encounter. Miley was currently safe as Jonason was there to keep her company. As for her, she could only look to Christin to keep her safe. Although Christin was a little silly, he was quite agile. If they were in danger, she could hide behind him! Christin on
All of a sudden, she felt that Christin was no longer that annoying. After all, he was still very reliable in such desperate times! When Sigrid entered the class group chat, it was obvious that everyone in the group had also known about what happened. Everyone also decided to return ahead of schedule. They initially planned to have fun in the next few days. Thus, they would get a discount on everything available in the hotel. However, they decided to leave earlier. So, the hotel room's early bird promotion price obtained from the hotel earlier was not ideal. They also couldn't go to eat at the restaurants booked in advance. They even had to compensate for the reservation done in advance. However, none of these were as important as their lives. Everyone began to reschedule their tickets. Sigrid initially planned to reschedule the tickets too. However, many tourists were frightened too due to what had happened during the previous day. This included residents w
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
