Maxwell leaned back on the sofa to adjust his breathing, thinking of Alice who had been left alone in the cinema.But he could not think much of her, for the doctor came downstairs.
Oliver helped him withdraw the needle. Maxwell immediately sat up and looked at the female doctor,"How's my sister?"
"Miss Garcia was so frightened that I calmed her down with sedatives. She is asleep now. I did a physical examination on her. It was a soft tissue contusion on the surface, showing no sign of being raped. However, she suffers serious psychic trauma. Get a psychiatrist for her if needed. "
On hearing that she had not been raped, Maxwell did not relieve at all, instead he was even more angry. Oliver reminded him,"Control your emotions.Keep having an acupuncture treatment will exert a fundamental impact on your body."
"I see."Maxwell nodded.
Olivercontinued, "Okay, it's getting late. I'll let Dr. Clinton stay here.She is available anytime if needed."

Elisacontinued crying and said to Theo, "Honey, you must find out the murderer for our son. Honey, who did it?We can't let him go."At that moment, Theo's phone rang.It was from the police station."Hello, is thatNick's family?""Yes, I'm his father. Have you found out the murderer whohurt my son?""Yes, but you'd better come over and see by yourself."In the hospital, Nick could not be left without care. Elisa could only stay to take care of him.When he saw the video, he was stunned.So the person who hurt Nick was actually Maxwell?Nick had always been misbehaving. He and Elisa turned blind eyes on him, who led a life of luxury and debauchery. In the hotel's surveillance screen, although he could not see the face of the woman Nick had brought in, Maxwell was clearly photographed when he rushed into the room.The policeman pointed at the monitor and said, "Do you want to sue him now, Mr. Garcia?"A few d
Seeing Elisa defend their son with a total lack of principle, Theo really had a heart attack. With both arms against the bedside, he gasped deeply."Oh my God! Theo, what's wrong?"Theo pushed her away and said, "See how you spoiled your son!"Elisa frowned: "No, let's make it clear. Isn't my son your son? Now tell me, who did this to my son? Don't just come back and blow off your steam on me!”"He deserves this.""You… Theo, are you out of your mind? What the hell do you mean?""Don't ask me. Ask your good boy, what did he do to end up like this?" Theo covered his chest where his heart was in pain and yelled with great difficulty.Elisa looked back at Nick: "Son, tell me, what happened? Who did this to you?"Nick's eyes flickered and he avoided: "Mother, just stop. I don't want to say it.""You don't want to say it? Or you are too ashamed to say it?" Even though Theo didn't have much feeling for Tessa, she
On both sides of the long overpass, lights flickered.Pedestrians hurried across the bridge, except for one woman with long hair cascading over her shoulders, standing by the railing. Several empty beer bottles lay scattered at her feet in disarray. No one stopped to care about her. The drizzling rain soaked her clothes, clinging to her body, cold to the bone. Her mind involuntarily replayed the words she’d heard that afternoon: "I’m sorry, Alice. I had no choice. Once I secure my position, I’ll divorce Kate. You have to believe me!"‘huh, Divorce...’ "Go to hell, you liar! Ethan, why don’t you just drop dead? Anyone who believes you is a damn fool!" She flung the beer bottles down the bridge in a frenzy, ignoring the screeching tires, honking horns, and curses below. Choking on the fine mist of rain, Alice half-crawled, half-stumbled off the bridge and crossed the road.“Screech—” The brakes of a car shattered the silence, splashing water everywhere.Alice’s unsteady figure was throw
The doctor pressed on Alice’s abdomen and checked her pulse before calling in other doctors for a consultation. Behind her, Riley and Elena grew increasingly worried. Even Alice herself was startled by the commotion. Was it possible she had some strange illness?“Doctor, what’s wrong with me?” she asked.“You’ll need to come with us to the ultrasound room.”What? Was it really a tumor in her belly?Ten minutes later, the examination results came back, and her homeroom teacher was notified to come as well.“What? Pregnant? How is that possible?” Staring at the freshly printed ultrasound report, Alice felt her vision darken, nearly fainting.Her teacher, Mr. Howard, immediately spoke up: “Doctor, you shouldn’t say such things. She’s just a student.”“The ultrasound report is conclusive. It’s a solid fact. You need to notify her parents to find out what’s going on. Girls these days…” It felt like a thunderclap to Alice, who stood frozen in place, her face as pale as paper.---Robert wa
Alice was unaware of what happened next, but as soon as she sat in the car, she heard Michelle's piercing scream behind her. Was she really hitting herself?For some reason, the fear in Alice’s heart seemed to fade a bit, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. It was the first time in years that someone stood up for her...The man glanced at her smile through the rearview mirror and calmly instructed the driver to start the car. The tinted windows made the outside world look dim. As she relaxed, pain spread through her limbs, making her face increasingly pale, but she didn’t dare to sleep. After all, she couldn’t tell if he was a friend or a foe.“Miss Howell, if you’re tired, feel free to sleep. I’ll wake you when we arrive,” he said.Nodding slightly, she murmured a thank you and leaned against the car window, drifting off. She was exhausted—so tired. Her limbs felt unresponsive, and in her dream, she was in a soothing hot spring, the warmth melting away her fatigue. She wished she
On the top floor, in a suite decorated in a luxurious vintage style, a man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Dressed in a gray suit paired with a black vest and trousers, his silhouette was tall and slim, reflecting a striking profile in the glass—his sharp features and a strong jawline were vaguely visible. He held a transparent goblet in one hand, the other tucked into his pocket. From any angle, he exuded an undeniable charm, his presence as noble as it was intimidating.His expression wasn’t cold; rather, it conveyed an inscrutable depth.A knock echoed from outside the door.“Come in.”A shadow entered, placing a medical report on the mahogany desk. “Sir, the report is ready.”“And the woman?” His voice, deep and melodic like a cello, showed no hint of anger.“She has been arranged to rest and will be sent out tomorrow morning.”With a light grunt, he didn’t turn around. “What does the report say?”After a brief pause, Raven replied, “The doctor said she’s in early
Alice spent a restless night in the luxurious room, waking up early due to the unfamiliar surroundings that made her feel insecure. Her stomach ached slightly, reminiscent of pre-menstrual cramps. After checking, she found no bleeding, indicating that the "seed" was indeed growing inside her. Now that the whole school and her family were aware of the situation, how could she face them?And that man from last night—he was a demon. How could he treat her like that?A wave of panic and helplessness washed over Alice.There was a knock at the door, rhythmic and regular. Startled, she looked up as a voice called from outside. “Miss Howell, are you awake?”She felt a glimmer of goodwill toward Raven —he had saved her before. Opening the door, she found Raven waiting. He nodded, “Miss Howell, breakfast is ready. After you eat, I’ll arrange for someone to take you back to school.”Can she even go back?Her anxiety was evident on her face. Raven reassured her, “Don’t worry; no one will find ou
At the Howell family house, the dining room table was crowded with people. The sky had turned completely dark, Michelle and Kate were ravenously hungry. Unable to hold back, Michelle complained, “Father, what time is it? Kate has a weak stomach and can’t go without food. Isn’t it unreasonable for the whole family to wait for Alice?”Kate nodded, genuinely starving. Usually, Marcus would have indulged her, but today he forbade any movement at the table. “Then go have some honey water.”This was Ethan’s first meal at the Howell family as an official son-in-law, but they waited until seven o'clock for Alice to return.When Alice walked in, all eyes turned to her, and she felt a shiver. Marcus’s serious face cracked a smile. “Alice, you’re back! Come, sit down and eat.”It was her first time at the main table for dinner, and as she stared at the white rice, her heart raced with anxiety. Marcus piled food onto her plate, eager to fill her bowl, making her feel increasingly uneasy and unabl

Maxwell wrapped Tessatightly with clothes, and then covered her with blankets before standing up,"A mistake?"He wore a grim face, like an old coffin, without any expression on it.Gavin took Nick's collar and brought him up toMaxwell. Maxwell squatted down and pinched his jaw with all his strength, smashingit.Nick couldn't even cry out.Maxwell, like a demon who wanted to kill him, continued to put pressure on his chin. Nicksufffered great pain, being terrified by Maxwell."Do you know who she is?"Maxwell stared at Nick,uttering coldly,"Nick, you bastard! She's my sister!"She was also Nick's sister!Maxwell would not admit this facthat Tessa and Nick were also brother and sister in law, which he could not change.However, Nick, like a beast, had actually done such a despicable and dirty act to his sister.Nick's eyes widened in fright. On hearing the name of Nick, Tessa, who was in bed, suddenly became astonishd, and once again, she screamed in fear
"Let me go first!" He intended to take her hand away, but Alicerefused, " I won’t. There is a mouse. Let us go quickly."Maxwelllooked back. There was indeed a mouse which was still lying on the floor after such a big movement. He was even more ill—tempered,"You don't have high IQ nor functional eyes. Itis a toy."A toy? Glancing at it,Alice quickly got down fromMaxwell.After the incident, Maxwell looked gloomy and Alice followed him silently. When she saw the poster in front of her, she pointed to a comedy movie and said, "Let's watch this."One movie had just started screening five minutes ago, so would they have to wait for the next one?Maxwellhad a look and took her to the employee channel. He went straight to the entrance of the VIP3 broadcast room. The manager stood there and personally opened the door for him.Alice had been to this placebeforewith Barry.But unfortunately, the movie had been temporarily canceled, so she had to r
Maxwell raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the girl who was sitting opposite him. What behind her was a bright starry sky, shining with the twinkling neon lights. The two red lanterns above her were swaying with the wind. She had rosy cheeks, as if it was rouged. With clear eyes, she wore a faint smile, which seemed to be a beautiful crescent moon. He clinked glasses and drank a toast, "Cheers! Merry Christmas!"The simple words made Alice surprised, and then she smiled more and more brightly. "Cheers." After taking a sip of red wine, she continued smiling at him, "Is there a Christmas gift? I have given you a gift in advance."It was just a joke, andAlice did not expect it.Looking at the wooden gift box that he pushed in front of her, Alice was very astonished,"Is it for me?"He maintained his usual arrogant manner, neither acknowledging nor denying it,"Open it."Alice could not wait to open it. Under the faint light, it was transparent,
Alice pouted, then let go of her hands. "can you say now?""I'll let you know when weget there.""You won't set a trap for me,right?""Do you think you are a mole who always get trapped?." Maxwell said as he drove.Alice complained: "That's your fault. You made me so alarming." After that, she also looked backwards. "No one is following us, right?""Sit down, don't move around.""I'm worried about it." Now, everyone was struggling to find Maxwell’s wife out. Among 10 top searches on YouTube, four was about Maxwell and three was about his mysterious wife. Everyone was discussing about them, and Alice thought it would be a disaster if they found out she was the mysterious wife."Don’tafraid of anything. I am here for you.""What if some accidents happened?" Alice said to him, "You are the big boss, you would be more miserable than me."Alice misunderstood his words, and Maxwell was speechless.The car finally parked out of the city, and it took a long time to arrive at an excellent outd
"My company is not like yourmessy little companies. Every employee here has been passed various levels of assessment. If you want to join our company, you can go to the website ,submit your resume and wait to be informed. " Then Maxwell turned around and walked out.Elisa and Nick were a little dumbfounded, Theo wanted to catch him up, but hewas stopped by Shadow: "Manager Theo, not anyone can go into this office.""Am I an ‘anyone:?" Theo's eyes widened angrily. "I'm his father! Who you, you dare to stop me, move away!""I'm the employee who gets paid. I only listen to Mr. Maxwell. And Mr. Maxwellcan invite you in and he can alsokickyou out. Now, if you don't want to leave, security ——"Theo and the Elisa were finally driven out of the company. Shadowwas right. Maxwell could invite them inand also kick them out .The reportershas gone. Elisa stomped her feet angrily: " He istoo bastard. Hedoesn’t care about us at all. It's all your fault. Are we here to find a job for Nick? We're her
As soon as Elisa walked in, she was shocked by the high—end decoration. She muttered to herself, "How much is this worth?"Theo did not say anything, and Nick's eyes were full of greed. Such a magnificent company with a market value of more than three billion, he really wanted to own it.Even if he couldn't have all of them, half of the company was also fine for him, and Elisa also thought this way.Shereally didn't expect that the small company which was the least profitable beforecould become the most profitable company now, and it could create much more value than theirs, which made them very jealous. .Takingthe exclusive elevator, they went upstairs without being impeded, and the scenery downstairs became more and more clear.Shadow was waitingoutsidethe elevator. When hesaw the shock and greed in their eyes, he really looked down upon them.Heledthem to the reception room with a poker face.Then he left after telling them to wait here. The reception room was astonishingly huge.
