Raelyn was taken back and froze there. The man led on by grabbing her hand and began to harm herself with the dagger. The sound of slitting herself was as clear as day. The signal of sharp pain was sent throughout her body and she wanted to scream. The men, who were wearing white gloves quickly covered her mouth. Raelyn couldn't make a sound but kept twisting her body in an attempt to ease the throbbing sensation. They were in control and led the way for Raelyn to stab herself continuously. Blood gushed out from the injured spots and she was in agony. The men did not stop and continued their objective. She had spiked every single part of her body several times. It was not severe enough to kill her, but it was sufficient to let her experience a level of pain that was out of this world. Raelyn was eventually injured as if she had tried to commit suicide. The two men loosened their grip and disappeared within a blink of an eye. Raelyn held the dagger and crum
Archer shook his head upon seeing his father leaving them. Gavin must have been feeling skeptical judging by how he had instructed Arthur to accompany Archer. "My dad must be having second thoughts about me since he has indirectly instructed you to keep an eye on me. Pfft! He has been trusting the wrong person all this while. I don't even know whether he is still in his sound mind or not!" Arthur smiled apologetically and said, "He can't help but hesitate due to his age. Do calm down as you are ultimately the innocent one. Mr. Saunders will have no choice but to accept the truth when the time comes." Archer nodded and said, "Alright then. I am no longer worried about Gavin since he still has the strength to doubt my actions!" Deborah, Valeria, and William had finished watching the opera performance and went to have dinner together. It was still early and Deborah proposed to watch a movie with them. They finally decided to call it a day and the married coup
William and Valeria sent Deborah back to the hotel before making their way towards the Howard family's old estate. Valeria was extremely tired and leaned against his arms before closing her eyes to have a rest. He put his hand on her belly and began caressing it gently. The children in her stomach were growing up and became increasingly active. They would strike from different directions at random times. William grinned happily upon feeling their movements. Valeria opened her eyes and glanced at him. "Why are you smiling like an idiot? Have you gone mad?" "No, I am just mesmerized by our babies. Honey, what do you think they are currently doing? Are they exercising now? Can they hear us?" "Of course they can. Why would I insist you in telling them some stories every day then?" Valeria looked at him and asked further, "What are you going to tell them tonight?" "I haven't thought about it yet. I will eventually come up with something when we arrive at
Natasya was taken into the interrogation room upon arrival at the police station. She refused to speak and continued playing dumb. She still refused her guilty acts. The police eventually presented the evidence of her instructing someone to commence the murder plan. She panicked upon glancing at it. How did the police know about this? This was a serious matter and it would be game over should she admit to her actions. However, there was still a chance to turn things around if she denied the accusation. She chose the latter option and decided to keep her mouth shut. She remained indifferent and the interrogation personnel eventually left the room. Natasya had been alone in the interrogation room for a few hours. The door was suddenly being pushed open and Bevan came in alongside a stranger. Natasya was pleased upon seeing a familiar face and greeted, "Bevan!" He politely replied, "Miss Anderson, you have been through a lot. Mr. Anthony has instructed me to
Archer immediately comforted him, "Dad, do calm down and try to take a few deep breaths." It was impossible for Gavin to keep his cool. He raised his voice, "This report is inaccurate and I am not buying it! This is utter rubbish! How can it be true?" "Dad, please!" Gavin roared, "Are you trying to deceive me just because you are holding a grudge against Raelyn? Hmm?" "Dad, how could you say that? Do I look like that kind of a person?" Archer smiled bitterly. "I don't believe it! This is absolutely ridiculous!" Arthur also chimed in to calm him down, "Mr. Saunders, you have to believe us! You can always have a look at the footage or have the test done once again to check things out. You can wait there just like we did as the result would be out within five hours anyway." "What on earth is happening?" Gavin calmed down for a bit upon the persuasion of Arthur. He still could not accept the truth and threw the report away. "What the hell is going
William frowned and said, "Raelyn's parents must be equally a pain in the ass judging by their daughter's character. Lucas, do you still remember when did Laila and her husband get divorced?" "Nope, but I think they cut ties with each other when Raelyn had married Devon. Laila's husband was having an affair at that time and decided to end things with Laila. I do recall that Laila transferred her wealth to him. He also had a wedding celebration party when he married his mistress. He even sent me an invitation letter to attend it." Laila left without any penny in her pocket? She was nevertheless the servant of the Saunders family. Her husband would not have the guts to treat her so poorly. She might be lying about it. There was also a possibility that something fishy was happening at that time. William chuckled and said, "Alright then. I shall arrange for someone to pay Laila's husband a visit soon!" Gavin had already calmed down when William had arrived at the Sa
Emily frowned and walked over to open the door when she heard Azalea's voice. Azalea's face was haggard. When she saw Emily, she asked, "Auntie, why didn't you answer my call?" "What's the matter?" Emily did not let Azalea in and she was still reflecting on her mistakes ever since Azalea's fake suicide incident. Why could Thomas grow up to be so capable even when he grew up in adversity? His personality and talent were extremely hard to come by, but Azalea had no capabilities at all. Even so, she had always been ambitious and she would use any means to get what she wanted. Emily felt that Azalea turned out like this because she loved and gave in to Azalea too much. Thomas had to live under another person's roof and he had experienced many hardships since she was young. He knew that he had to stand up and fight for himself. But Azalea was different. She had been living under Emily's care since she was a child. Although she didn't live a luxurious life, she
Hayden was cheerful again after he heard Valeria's words. "I'm not stopping you from keeping in touch with them, but I'm worried about you because the Floyd family may not genuinely like you. You're pregnant now, and Angel is so vicious and shameless. What if she hurts you and the child?" "Dad, she won't be there. Only me, Grandpa, Grandma, and William will be there today, so I'm sure that nothing will happen. By the way, I actually have a task to complete, and I need to inquire about some things in the past." "What happened back then?" "This is a secret. I'll tell you about it after I find out. I won't say anything if I can't learn anything about it." After saying that, Valeria didn't dare to delay any longer and left the house hurriedly after having breakfast. When Hayden sent her out and watched her car leave, he stroked his beard and shook his head. "Did she really buy tickets to accompany me to watch the opera? I don't think she bought it at all. She probab
