The officer behind the wheel hit the gas pedal, while the one in the passenger seat casually turned around and asked Xavier, "Do you have your phone with you?"Xavier became alert and countered, "What do you need it for?""We want you to call Chief Hanson!" The officer chuckled. "You can use mine if you don't have it." As he spoke, he pulled out his own phone and handed it over."There's no need! I've got mine! Take it from my right pocket!" Xavier was used to giving orders. So, instinctively, he also used an assertive tone even when talking to the officer.The officer wasn't bothered by Xavier's tone. Instead, he fetched the phone and handed it to him.Xavier dialed Chief Hanson's number. However, within seconds, he heard a cold, mechanical voice saying, "The person you called is unavailable. Please try again later." No matter how many times he tried, the result was still the same.The young officer sitting on Xavier's right side, who had handed him the phone, kindly reminded hi

The news of Yvette's hospitalization due to her injuries garnered significant media attention. The reporters went all out, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to uncover the truth. So, when the news spread that Xavier was the culprit, the media exploded with overwhelming coverage. Numerous social media accounts jumped on the bandwagon, dishing out "insider information." They used the statements from other Cosmic Studios employees to fabricate reasons for Xavier's attack on Yvette. Some even went so far as to create detailed recreations of the incident, turning this sensational news that spanned society and entertainment into a top headline.Xavier naturally couldn't evade the consequences of the law, with charges of "intentional assault" and "kidnapping" being slapped against him. Furthermore, even though Ian turned himself in leading to a reduced sentence, he still faced two to three years behind bars.At this moment, Cosmic Studios found itself in utter disarray, with no one

The housekeeper, who used to greet Lana with a fake smile and flattery, now had a stern expression. He coldly informed her, "Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Senior are not at home."Lana noticed the change in the housekeeper's attitude, but she didn't think much of it. She merely assumed that he was slacking off because her grandparents were away. So, she treated him just as she always did—by giving him a bad attitude. She impatiently pushed the housekeeper aside and snapped, "Move out of my way!"The housekeeper could no longer be bothered to hide his disdain for her. He steadied himself against the wall with one hand and sneered, "Do you think you're still the Ms. Seymour of this house? Let me be frank with you. Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Senior are in the living room right now. When I said they're not at home, it's because they don't want to see you!"Lana was taken aback. "Why's that?"Before the housekeeper could answer, the loud revving sound of a sports car approached and eventually stoppe

After a long wait, the day finally came for Lana's trial case. However, neither of the parties involved showed up in court. Larissa was still recovering in Aldovia, so it was not convenient for her to make a long trip back home. She entrusted her lawyer to handle everything on her behalf. As for Lana, it seemed as if she had completely disappeared; her lawyer couldn't reach her. Considering the possibility of her fleeing to escape punishment, the court immediately suspended the trial, and the police began searching for her.There were no records of Lana purchasing any flight or train tickets in the system. But that alone didn't necessarily mean she hadn't left Bartham. After searching all the hotels and guesthouses, as well as visiting hundreds of neighborhoods and streets in the city without any luck, the police had no choice but to issue a nationwide warrant for Lana and set a reward of ten thousand dollars for finding her."Hey, should I provide some tips to the police and claim

Because Kevan was eager to see Larissa, he didn't bother adjusting to the time difference. After a quick shower, he headed straight to the hospital, where Lewis was waiting for him at the entrance. It had been several months since they had last seen each other, but Lewis hadn't changed much. He still had that serious and business-like demeanor, but his gaze had softened a bit.They exchanged greetings. Kevan wasted no time in asking, "How's Larissa doing?""She's recovering well. She can walk on her own now," Lewis replied.Larissa received more attentive care than before being in Gary's territory, leaving her with little to worry about. Naturally, her health was improving day by day, though the only downside was that she had gained some weight due to the lack of exercise. Kevan noticed this the moment he saw her.Compared to the last time he saw her, she looked healthier and fuller. She was no longer the frail, skeletal woman he'd known. Kevan's heart eased, but at the same time

Kevan didn't spend much time at the hospital. Besides meeting Larissa, he had an important task to accomplish during his visit to Aldovia—to exchange information and strategize with Gary.When Gary's meeting ended, Lewis drove Kevan to Blue Star Shipping's headquarters which was located in the heart of Westonia. Westonia was one of the most developed cities in Aldovia, and many internationally renowned companies had their headquarters established here.As they drove away from the hospital, they were surrounded by towering buildings, which lined up on both sides of the road, blocking the blue sky. Even the sunlight couldn't reach the pedestrians directly."The pace of life here is too fast. I'm not a fan." Lewis chatted with Kevan while driving. Over the past few months, they had maintained constant communication, and their relationship had grown closer than before.Kevan looked out the window, observing the hurried white-collar workers holding their coffee cups, and didn't find thi

Lewis helped Kevan pull out a chair, addressing him politely as "Mr. Rogers."Kevan thanked him with a smile.Once they were both seated, Gary spoke. "Our ship will arrive at port tomorrow."The ship he spoke of was the one that helped Cody transport contraband things—the one that they had called back at the last minute. Gary had used a lot of effort to catch the mole. He did not subject him to private justice nor did he hand the guy over to the police. He even absolved any form of punishment that could have occurred.He only had one request—to continue working with Cody and pretend that nothing had happened.They changed the cargo that was meant to be smuggled into Caldor as flour—smuggling flour was not considered a major crime. Besides, they had even declared the flour and other cargo to customs. Although Cody could not be sentenced with just this, he had paid in full for that batch of cargo. With this happening, tens of millions of dollars were gone to waste. If this deficienc

Lana was, after all, a young lady who had been spoiled. She was very well-loved as a child and was quite coddled. She was not as mature and cunning as some other girls her age—any cunningness she may have had in this life was all spent on Larissa.To her, Miqeila was just a lousy aunt who constantly tailed after Xavier in a subservient manner, hoping for a bite of his wealth. As this lousy aunt of hers had gained a great deal of benefits from her own family, it was time for her to pay back what she was given. Therefore, she did not suspect Miqeila at all when she left with her, and things were developing the way she expected them to.She checked into a high-end hotel and got a bunch of pretty clothes, including expensive cosmetics. Her life was now like this—sleeping after eating, then waking up to repeat the process. Quite the wonderful, perfect life indeed.However, this only lasted for three days. After that, she officially stepped into hell.…Kevan would receive email reports
