The next morning, when Maddison was found by the river, she had completely lost her mind.She was waving her torn pink underwear around as she stood naked on the side of the road. "Sir, come play for a dollar. Come on!"Maddison was still quite attractive and had a sexy body, so many passersby were tempted.A man even slammed into the car in front of him because of that. The drivers of the cars did not argue after they got out of the car. Instead, they started making remarks about Maddison."That looks sensational. It’d be nice if I could take a ride.""I know. It's a pity we’re in broad daylight. I’d definitely take her home with me if it were nighttime!"Before the traffic police came to investigate, the police officers came first. As they were about to take Maddison away, she hugged a police officer and refused to let go."You b*stard! I know it was you who forced yourself onto me last night. It was you. I can recognize you even if you have clothes on!"The dispatched police
Finn was taken back to the house, and he could not stop crying.He must have been really tired. He hadn’t really gotten any sleep in the past two days since his sister passed away.Shortly after he entered the bedroom, he fell asleep on the bed.Neither Javier nor Jade asked him to change his clothes. He was exhausted, so they let him have a good night's rest.After coming out of Finn's bedroom, Jade burst into tears.Javier hugged her and gently kissed her forehead without saying anything.No one wanted to accept the reality of Milly's death, but they had to.Still, it made their hearts tremble upon thinking that the 7-year-old girl was gone. They really did not know how to accept it.The next morning, Jade got up early and made breakfast.But when Javier knocked on the door and entered the room to get Finn, he realized that Finn was gone.The blanket on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a note that had his squiggly handwriting on it.Finn had left a message that sai
The World Car of The Year Award (WCOTY) was organized by the independent nonprofit organization WCA. It was the highest honor of a car award in the world. Starting in 2004, it had been a little more than a decade now.There were 73 professional judges coming from 23 countries across the globe who participated in the evaluation, so impartiality was guaranteed to a certain degree.Moreover, the award had a high reputation. Basically, it was the precursor to the sales index, so many car companies aimed for the grand award hoping to win it.In the past years, automobile companies kept their eyes on this award,, but everyone was focusing on other prizes this year because each car could only receive one award. The Chinean car that was the most popular this year could only receive the WCOTY. The other titles, for engines, being environmentally friendly, and whatnot, became what the others looked forward to.When Javier, Quinna, and Trevor made it there, they became the limelight instantly
Although it was rude to be yelling, no one quite cared about it for now. Like what the brunette boss had asked, everyone was curious why the brand Chinean could win two awards.It was as if the committee president had long expected such a question as he gestured for everyone below the stage to quiet down and spoke. “I’d like to ask all of you one question. Does anyone see any stated term on our organizing rules that a car could only win one award? Please, has anyone seen it?”The president’s question baffled everyone.Quinna slapped her lap. “I remember! The rules don’t seem to state anything like this! It’s just that there has never been a car that receives a second or more award, so for over a decade, everyone has misunderstood that each car can only win an award.”The slap on her lap might be a little too hard as Quinna winced in pain. The next moment, though, Javier caringly rubbed her lap and was trying his best to grope upward. Many people were around, so Quinna was rightfull
A trip abroad earned them three trophies. No one expected this, so Javier, Quinna, and Trevor were exceptionally delighted. It was just that it was kind of hard to stay delighted when Javier shattered the WCOTY trophy at the peak of their joy.After Quinna called Javier a prodigal man in shock, Trevor spoke up as well. “Mr. Kersey, the press will definitely ask us for photos when we go back. The world knows that we won three trophies, but how can we explain it when we bring only two back for the photos?”Javier shrugged in nonchalance. “What’s there to worry about? We’ll get someone to make a fake one tomorrow. Everyone knows we won anyway. Who dares question that the trophy we have is a fake one? As long as we’re holding it, a fake one is a real one!”Such confidence! Javier had learned from the old fox’s jade pipe that felt endless despite him breaking it constantly. With the status there, a fake one was a real one, and no one would dare doubt it—not that there would be anyone d
Herschel, who had been taken away by the police for the traffic accident, was released on that day itself. It was an accident, after all, so he was fine as he was not found guilty after the investigation.The customized car that the Bugatti had run into was sent back as well. It was worth mentioning because the car door had been dented back then, and there was a dent on the center pillar. Herschel drove it to the workshop, only for the workshop to say that they were powerless.They had never seen such tough metal that the dent puller machine could not pull out. Unable to do anything, the workshop had refused any payment despite their effort and pleaded with Herschel to drive the car away.Since regular workshops could not repair the dents, Javier could only call Liam and have the specialized department drive the car away.It had taken two months, and the car was finally sent back when Javier touched down today.“This car still feels comfier. Who says that our country can’t make a
Although Renna was not as sensible as Milly was, she was only a child, and it tugged at one’s heartstrings. Mikaela and Donald’s conversation had also made Javier understand the family’s current plight.He did not think much about it. To him, it was worth it if 30 dollars could get a child’s bright smile in return. Perhaps, to some extent, he was also reminiscing about the late Milly this way.Renna was delighted, but she said, despite her eyes that were glued to the Barbie doll in Javier’s hand, “I don’t want it.”It seemed that Renna still had decent manners as she knew to refuse a present from others and not want someone else’s things. A child’s sensibility in this aspect had very much to do with their family. If their parents were sensible, the child would naturally be sensible.Javier patted Renna’s head. “I know a little girl who’s three years older than you, but she’s as tall and as adorable as you are. She’s never eaten cake her whole life, and her biggest wish is to have
Javier had never expected that the hospital’s director who was speaking at that moment would actually be James Carillo himself.James was the doctor who had paid for the remaining 800 dollars worth of medical treatment fees for Milly initially and later resigned after he was saddened by the news that she had passed away. Javier was filled with respect for this particular doctor. Doctors were meant to be kind people who saved lives, but Javier could genuinely feel this spirit coming from James, so he respected the man. However, he never thought he would end up meeting James there once more. At that moment, James was speaking to the white-haired old man. “Sir, I really can’t carry on being a doctor anymore. I can’t control myself from thinking about that little girl whenever I look at a doctor’s robe. “She was only seven at the time…She was so young and pitiful…I clearly could save her but chose to stand aside and do nothing just because she didn’t have the money. I’ve been tr
