Priscilla didn’t want to cry at first. She seldom cried, but she was too busy these days and she was in a very nervous mood. As soon as she came back home and faced the familiar environment, she immediately relaxed.

Then she was scolded by this man in such a situation. All the bitterness and grievance accumulated in the past few days were immediately released.

Soon, she cried harder and harder, without making any sound. However, her tears were like a downpour smashing down.

Fredrick was amused by her look.

But it also made him helpless. He had no choice but to take some tissue from the side and keep wiping her tears.

He loved her look now. Her face was full of grievance and stubbornness, which was so cute.

She had no idea how cute she was now.

Priscila was no longer cold and proud as she always was, nor as vigilant and strict as usual. She put down all her defences and showed the most vulnerable part of her body in front of him without reservation, just like a child.

    Fredrick took a look at her, but his face was still sullen. He walked straight to the doctor who was checking on Priscilla and asked, “How is she?”The doctor quickly stood up and replied respectfully, “Mr. Lincoln, it’s just a cold. Madam just needs to take some medicine and have a rest. Then she will be fine.”Hearing this, Fredrick’s face softened a little.When the doctor went out to prescribe medicine for her, Priscilla looked at him and couldn’t help smiling. “I’ve told you that I’m fine. You’re the only one who’s making a fuss. I just caught a cold. Don’t make everyone as nervous as you!”Fredrick glared at her. “How dare you say that? Who didn’t listen to me last night and even went out in the cold wind?”Priscilla paused and felt a little guilty. It was also because Priscilla had been busy for such a long time, and she finally finished all the things in the past two days. Her tense nerves suddenly became soft.Coincidentally, it snowed yesterday. After dinner, she walked in t

    In the Lincoln group. The door of the CEO’s office was pushed open heavily. Fredrick frowned. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Stella in a gorgeous dress and Hadassah coming in.“Auntie, Fredrick is working...”“Hadassah, don’t stop me. That woman dared to do this to me. Shouldn’t I come to ask Fredrick for an explanation? He has to explain it to me today!”As the two of them spoke, they walked up to Fredrick.Fredrick stood up and took a look at David, who was anxious but didn’t dare to stop Stella. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at his Auntie in front of him. He asked, “Auntie, when did you come?”Stella was wearing a white expensive suit. Although she was over forty years old, she still looked charming.But her angry look affected her beauty.She took a deep breath and didn’t answer Fredrick’s question. Instead, she asked straightforwardly, “What’s wrong with you? We have introduced so many ladies from famous families to you in Spark Land, but you don’t like them

    Priscilla was fully concentrated on her work.Gerard had a pretty tight schedule recently, but those were some minor commercial activities. After all, he had just come back to the country, he was still deciding on the bigger activities.The only big activity recently should be his concert, which was held particularly for his fans.It was a small concert, and would only be held once. It would last for two hours, and there were only a small number of tickets, either. It wasn’t a commercial activity. He held such a concert just because he had come back not long ago. Although he had a lot of fans, due to his limited domestic activities, he didn’t have many loyal fans.Most of them only fancied his appearance or only showed their occasional interests to him.The small concert that Priscilla was planning for him was like a meet-and-greet for him, just for drawing him closer to the audience, so that he would have some loyal fans soon.After all, it was quite different in the country and over

    “You have a death wish, don’t you?”Gerard groaned and dodged. Then with a cheeky smile, he said, “Don’t be mad. I was just kidding. You are still pretty. No one can compare to you in my heart.”Priscilla gritted her teeth. “Stop being so proud. After all, I don’t have such a big nephew like you.”Upon hearing it, Gerard was taken aback.The makeup artist couldn’t help but burst into laughter and only then did he understand what Priscilla meant by it.Since Anne called Priscilla Aunt and called him by his name, Gerard was in the same generation as Anne. Hence, she could naturally treat him as her nephew in this case.Upon realizing it, Gerard looked annoyed.“Anne, you can call me Uncle in the future, okay?”Anne curled her eyes when smiling. “But you are an idol. An idol can’t get old. If I called you uncle, it meant you are aged, so I can’t call you Uncle Gerard.”Gerard was rendered speechless.He was so annoyed. This little girl seemed to know a lot.Finally, he couldn’t insist on

    “Excuse me. Are you the guests of Room 6602?”All three of them were taken aback. The granny hurriedly said, “Yes, we have something emergent to deal with upstairs now. If you have something to say, come back to me later. All right?”After finishing her words, she dragged Priscilla and Anne to trot inside.However, they were stopped by the staff again.This time, not only the staff in the lobby but also two security guards stood in front of them.They all looked quite serious. The staff from the lobby gazed at the granny and said seriously, “Excuse me, Madam. You haven’t paid for the room for two days. You said you would pay it today, so we agreed to let you and your granddaughter continue staying here. But since this morning, we have failed to contact you. If you don’t pay today, I’m afraid we can’t let you continue staying here.”Priscilla was startled. She turned around to look over at the granny.The granny looked quite embarrassed.“Well... I planned to pay today, but my wallet w

    Hence, she held his neck and begged, “Just one night, okay? I promise I’ll help them contact their family tomorrow morning. We won’t trouble you!”Fredrick looked at her, chuckling.This woman was way too innocent, and cute.Finally, he nodded in agreement, pinching her waist gently.“Okay, but how will you bribe me then?”Priscilla blushed.She knew what he aimed for. Approaching him, she quickly landed a peck on his lips.When she was about to move back, a big palm pressed on the back of her head. The man pulled her into his arms and the kiss grew wilder.After the kiss, she opened her eyes, panting.She saw the man’s handsome and flawless face, on which his deep eyes were full of desire.“Another half a month.”Jillian was slightly startled. When she understood what he meant, she bit her bottom lip.Her white teeth chewed the red bottom lip, making it look like an appetizing red cherry.Fredrick’s eyes were deepened, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He suppressed the desire in his heart

    Adriana had been observing her for the past few days.“Mom, since you know it, why would you agree to her being with Frederick? Do you know what others say about her? If we allow this kind of woman to marry into the Lincoln family, it’ll be our shame!”“Enough!”Adriana suddenly became angry. “Those are just rumours! I don’t care what others say. I only believe what I’ve seen in person. You must go back to Spark Land with me right now! You can’t stay here making trouble any longer. If you’re not willing to go back, you’d better not come here anymore in the future!”“But Mom...”“Dear, let’s go.” After finishing her words, Ariana took Anne away in anger.Looking at their receding figures, Stella was so angry that she almost puked blood.“Do you think my mother was bewitched by that woman? How could she trust that woman so much?”Hadassah slightly looked down, she was clenching her fingers. After a moment, she smiled.“Madam Ariana is always nice, so everyone looks kind-hearted to her.

    In the bathroom, Nancy leant over the toilet, almost vomiting her guts out.Priscilla ran in, she looked at her state, and almost confirmed her speculation right then and there.Her heart ached.She went out and took a glass of water in with a napkin.Stroking her back, she soothed, “How are you doing? Are you okay?”Nancy waved it off, shaking her head.It took her a long while to find her voice. “I’m fine. I’m all right.”Priscilla passed her the water. Nancy took a sip, she rinsed her mouth, and wiped her mouth off with the napkin before finally saying, “I’m sorry for ruining the evening.”Priscilla shook her head hurriedly. “What do you mean? You’re already like this, so forget the evening, okay?” After a while, she got a little mad. “Why didn’t you tell me when something this important has happened? What’s going on?”Nancy looked at her and knew she’d already guessed it. She bit her lip. After a while, she said, “You’ve probably noticed – I’m pregnant.”Priscilla nodded. “With a

    While Ann thought her sweet thoughts to herself, Priscilla didn’t know how she felt, and only felt her heart hurt the more she looked at the girl’s innocent bearing.The two hugged for a while and separated. Worried she would get hungry, Priscilla made to feed her, but Frederick stopped her.The man’s face was stern. “Don’t pamper her. Let her eat herself.”Priscilla jolted, about to say that the child was still young.But Ann took up her spoon herself and helped herself to a mouthful.As she chewed with puffy cheeks, she said, “I’m grown-up now, Mommy. I can eat myself, so I don’t need someone to feed me now.”At that, Priscilla had to laugh. Warmth surging into her chest, she tapped Ann lightly on the nose.“All right. Good girl, Ann.”Ann smiled happily.Ariana looked at the comfy scene and smiled.After the meal, the family all retired to their rooms.Ann started whining for Priscilla to tell her a story, so she took her to her bedroom.Fredrick had come out in a hurry this time,

    Regina tried to unearth Priscilla wherever she was.Priscilla had already received the news.After all, since the driver had exposed it, she’d guessed that Regina would probably be coming for her.She couldn’t stay in the Lincoln household. Even though Regina wasn’t bold enough to intrude here directly, this was too big of a target to stay undetected.Priscilla was considering where she could hide when Ariana called.“What are you up to now, Priscilla? How are you holding up?”Old Mrs. Lincoln had called Fredrick’s phone and told her to pick up.Seemed like Fredrick was afraid the old woman and the child would get worried, so he’d told them about the situation beforehand.Priscilla replied hurriedly, “I’m fine, Grandma, I’m at home. What about you? How have you been lately?”“I’m doing well, but Ann misses you and keeps raising a ruckus about seeing you. If you’re free someday, I can take her over to play with you for a couple of days?”“That’s…”Priscilla was in a bad spot.There was

    Rose sat there, her expression dark, still trying to recover from the shock of the news.Katherine looked worried as her eyes darted around the room. She tried to say something, but after several attempts, she couldn’t muster the courage to get it out.This time, that was a crime.The good thing was that Regina had now been married off, which meant that many things could be pushed off her. If the Smith family still involved her in the end, he didn’t know how much backlash he would have to deal with.Thinking of that, she shot a resentful glare at Regina.Regina hadn’t expected her to take such an attitude. Her temper flared, clogging her throat. She felt like she had a volcano building in her chest, ready to erupt.After a long while, Rose spoke.“Is there any other evidence than that driver of yours?”Regina shook her head. “None, I’m sure of it. I’ve taken care of the four other people in that cellar in secret. I’d also given that driver enough money to make a run for it after the j

    Terry nodded, “Alright, I’ll get down to this thing first. Be careful and don’t make any other trouble. To stay away from trouble, you’d better stay at home. Wait for good news.”Regina heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. She nodded, “I see. Thank you.”After Terry left, Ryan called Regina.Regina looked at the name on the screen with a cold gaze.They’d broken up. It would be good if he didn’t take her as an enemy. How could he love her as before?However, looking at the name, she couldn’t help but feel sorrow and pain as if some part of her heart had been scooped out brutally. She took a deep breath and answered the phone.Ryan’s voice was gloomy.“Did you do that?”Regina reluctantly tugged at her lips and put on a cold smile. “Don’t you know that long ago? I got the drugs from your man. Don’t tell me he gave me the drugs without your consent.”Ryan said in a cold voice, “You bribed my assistants, didn’t you? I turned a blind eye to it and didn’t want to dispute with you. N

    #PriscillaKidnapped soon became a trending topic.Vines and Nancy were both worried when they learned that.Nancy was so anxious that she called Mr. Lincoln quickly. So Fredrick answered the phone and told her that Priscilla was fine and hung up.She was confused. After thinking about it for a while, she got it.Priscilla must have set a trap for Regina.Knowing that Priscilla was fine, Nancy felt relieved.Since Priscila was going to entrap Regina, she just needed to sit back and watch the show.Frederick asked the police to be cooperative. When Priscilla was rescued, the police were there, so he couldn’t hide it from the police.Therefore, he would cooperate with the police to catch whoever was behind this kidnapping. Priscilla did not know how Fredrick persuaded the police not to release the news that she had been rescued.Since they had made a deal, she had to carry out her plan.So, that night, when no doctor or nurse was in the ward, Priscilla let Nancy help her put on a simple

    Priscilla held him tightly and buried her head on his shoulder.Feeling the attachment of the girl in his arms, Fredrick hugged her waist more tightly and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”She nodded, with a twang in her voice. “I’m fine.”How could she be fine?Her palm kept bleeding. Unlike Fredrick’s hands, which were full of calluses because he often used sports equipment, Priscilla’s hands were soft.She had never done such intense exercise, so her tender hands were badly worn after she held the rope, swung up the cliff, and climbed for a long time. She wouldn’t have been able to make it here if it hadn’t been for the numbness in her hands.Frederick understood it, so he felt more worried.He was so distressed that he couldn’t even blame her for her carelessness.When they reached the ground, Priscilla finally lost all her strength and fell into a coma. Frederick untied the rope around her waist and asked in a deep voice, “Where is the ambulance?”“Sir, it is p

    If she had known that Regina would do it, she should have asked Portia to follow her closely.It would be much better than now.Priscilla sighed, feeling a little frustrated about her blunder.She looked around and didn’t see any place that she could step on.Fortunately, there was a large protruding sharp stone on the cliff. She reached out her hand and tried to hold it. It was very stable and could bear her weight.So, she moved over carefully, little by little. She grasped the stone tightly with both hands, and then left the branch and hung in the air.She felt a little pain in her arm because she exerted too much strength.She gritted her teeth. Fortunately, she had learned rock climbing abroad before, and her arms were still powerful.But it was impossible to climb up from here, and it was not suitable for her to do because she did not have much strength now.With this in mind, she took a deep breath, then looked around and found a large rock not far from her left hand.Maybe she

    Regina let out a fierce laugh, “Do you think Ryan likes you? He just likes new things. He was not reconciled to the fact that her woman had been robbed by another man. But that’s all. It’s just like that, even if you don’t want the slippers, you will throw them in the garbage, and you won’t let others take them away. Do you understand?”Priscilla sneered.“I don’t know if I am, but if you think so, it shows that in your heart, you are like a pair of slippers.”Regina suddenly sneered, “Okay. Until now, you have still been stubborn. Don’t you know what will happen after coming here?”Priscilla sneered again. She looked at Regina with contempt. “If I say something soft or simply beg for mercy, will you let me go?”“Of course not.”“Then wouldn’t that be it?”Regina was stunned.She felt angry for no reason.How could she be like this?How could Priscilla still argue with her in such a situation?Wasn’t she afraid?Regina gritted her teeth with hatred, and for a moment, she suddenly smil

    “You haven’t given me back all the money I have lost because of you, so how could I divorce you now, you silly?”His tone was soft, but Regina suddenly shivered.When he said these to her, she felt like a cold, poisonous snake climbing up from her back, and its mouth was hanging on her neck as if it would bite her in the next second.She suddenly put on a serious face because she could feel his finger sliding down from her head to her cheek and was approaching her lips. Regina couldn’t help but raise her hand and push his finger away.She cursed, “You pervert!”Ryan laughed out, “If I am a pervert, then you are the pervert’s wife. How about that? Are you afraid of being with a pervert?”Regina tried her best to calm down.She looked at him and sneered, “I can continue to pretend to be your wife, but I’m warning you, you must stay away from me and don’t touch me again from this day forward!”After saying that, she got up and went to the bathroom.Ryan stood up with a faint smile on his
