An hour later. Andy arrived only to hand Kourtney a small cloth bag. It was a roll of cloth, to be exact. Long strips of cloth rolled up like an egg roll with a knot on the outside. It was very Chinese.Kourtney neatly opened the roll of cloth, which was surprisingly full of fine needles."It's acupuncture? You know Chinese acupuncture?" Rose had read a lot when she was in school, and she was impressed by the ancient Chinese healing arts."I only know a few simple treatments. My teacher once met a great Chinese doctor in Chinatown." Looking at Lynn's questioning eyes, she said calmly, "Please rest assured that this needle, even if it doesn't cure it, will never get worse; it's a minimally invasive Chinese treatment."
In the day when back to school, Kourtney walked out of her classroom as usual. She took out her cell phone and looked at it, there weren't any texts or calls. She was just about to put her phone in her bag when suddenly it rang. "Hello?" "Hello, it's me." At the sound of the familiar voice, Kourtney's brow furrowed, "Why you?" "Who are you expecting a call from?" Kourtney was a little annoyed, "What's up?" Andy said a little puzzled, "Didn't you say this morning that you wanted me to come pick you up after school? I'm already in front of the school." Kourtney: "Got it!" Hanging up the phone, Kourtney wasn't in a good mood, she didn't understand what she was expecting and what she was unhappy about. Wasn't she the one who talked herself out of the breakup? Besides, it wasn't like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it was a transactional relationship. Not long after, she arrived at the entrance of the school and saw Andy's white Porsche parked. Andy stood by the door, waving at
After Mr. Howard woke up last time, the doctor said that he needed to stay in the hospital until he was completely fine before being discharged.Rose and her team were doing follow-up recovery treatments for him. When Jeff arrived at the hospital, Rose was looking at the latest checkup data. When she saw Jeff appear at the end of the corridor, she was pleasantly surprised and greeted him from afar, "Jeff, you're here!"At that time, when Kourtney appeared, she thought that she had no more chances, and unexpectedly, they broke up. She was especially happy to learn that they had broken up. Jeff coldly said hi and crossed over from her, heading in Lynn's direction."Auntie, you've been taking care of Grandpa lately, hard work!" Jeff said to Lynn.
Watching Kourtney and Cathy leave, the middle-aged man was about to continue chasing after them, but a group of black-clothed men came out from nowhere and knocked their men to the ground. He hurriedly signaled his subordinates to retreat, the item had been obtained and there was no need for the men to chase after them. He excitedly looked at the metal box in his hand. It was said that eighteen years ago, many people were robbing this item, and many people were implicated and even killed. Even Cathy's parents were tragically killed for guarding something like this, and now his Boss wanted it too. What the hell was this? He immediately got into his car, which had has specialized listening devices, computers, and weapons. Following Kourtney's example, he pressed his finger on the box, which instantly transformed into a flash drive. His eyes were glowing with excitement, and then, he plugged that USB flash drive into his computer. When he was about to open the flash drive, a dialog bo
After escaping, Kourtney realized that Teresa had been shot with a needle that was poisoned. She had to take her to the hospital as soon as possible. Seconds later, the middle-aged man and his subordinates chased after her, and he didn't see Kourtney and Teresa, but a handsome man. "Who are you?" Jeff waved his hand and more than ten Howard family bodyguards immediately appeared behind him. The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Are you ...... you from the Howard family?" Jeff didn't answer him, and gave a cold order, "Take down all of them, don't leave a single one!" "Yes!" When Jeff fled out of the door with his subordinates, Kourtney's car, which was originally parked there, had already disappeared. Looking at the remaining wheel marks on the ground, Jeff smiled bitterly, "What a heartless little sweetheart." Without even a thank you and without waiting for him, he just left straight away. However, it wasn't hard to find Kourtney and Teresa. An hour later, Kourtney was n
Kourtney had just walked out of the school gates after school that day when she saw Jeff picking her up again, as he always did.She wanted to take a detour and leave, after all, they broke up, and they couldn't be entangled every day."Kourtney, I know you don't want to see me, but it's Grandpa who wants to see you today."That day when she saved her grandfather's life, everything was too rushed. Kourtney had been worried, not knowing if her treatment results would work or not. After all, she could only learn a little bit of Chinese medicine from her teacher, and her certainty wasn't too great. Mr. Howard was very happy to see Kourtney in his hospital room.The Howard family was there wh
In a few days, Kourtney will have her Bat Mitzvah. Before that, she had a promise with Grandpa Elijah. After coming of age, he would give her all the relics that her mother had put in his possession. These days, because of what happened to Teresa, she wanted to find out what happened to her parents back then, even sooner.The door to the study was open, and Mr. Elijah stood by the study window, his back to her. Hearing the footsteps, Grandpa turned around and looked at her with a loving face, "Kourtney, you're here."Kourtney walked in expressionlessly, stared at her grandfather's face, and opened the door, "Grandpa, I'm an adult now, my mother's things, please return them to me."The bond between their grandfather and grandson may never be repair
Lynn was going back to England soon and she wanted to take Kourtney out for dinner before she left."Kourtney, tonight, six o'clock, Howard Hotel, you must come."She didn't want to go. Lately, she had been studying her mother's scientific research from the past.At the entrance to the Howard Hotel, Bella walked in, wearing a custom-made dress and holding Johnny's arm.Benjamin also walked in and reached up to straighten his tie, "This afternoon we received word that the President of the Howard Group would also be appearing this evening. So ...... we're looking forward to a chance meeting with him today."Both Benjamin and Johnny
Two years later.Jeff and Kourtney's wedding was held at Grandpa's estate, which was decorated with flowers and beautifully decorated. All the friends and relatives of the three big families gathered to witness this happy moment.Kourtney wore a pure white wedding gown and looked like a fairy. Her beauty and confidence mesmerized everyone. Jeff, on the other hand, wore an elegant suit and was handsome. As they held hands and walked onto the main stage of the wedding, applause, and blessings were heard.Grandpa stood as the officiant to marry the couple. His voice was solemn and warm, "On this special occasion, we gather to witness the love of Jeff and Kourtney. The love between them is so deep and genuine that it moves us all."Kourtney's mother Abigail's image was displayed on the screen and her smile was heartwarming. Kourtney looked at her mother's picture and a tear flashed in her eye, but she knew that her mother must be in heaven blessing her at this moment."We all know that Ko
One evening, while Kourtney was conducting experiments in the laboratory, she suddenly received a call from Jeff."Kourtney, I have some good news!" Jeff's voice was filled with excitement."What good news?" Kourtney put down the test tube and asked eagerly."Grandfather's old friend has provided new leads that might reveal the true leader of the ANN organization. We're going to meet him now, would you like to come along?" Jeff invited.Without hesitation, Kourtney joined Jeff and headed to the location where the grandfather's old friend was. It was a remote cabin, and the old friend's name was Joseph, someone who had been a close friend of the grandfather many years ago."Everyone, I've found some leads that might help you," Joseph said.He activated an old projector, displaying some video footage. The footage showed a masked individual, the leader of the ANN organization. For some reason, everyone felt the person looked familiar, but they couldn't quite pinpoint who it was."I had s
Meanwhile, the grandfather's old friend provided him with new leads.After a difficult search, the grandfather finally located a former maid who had served Kourtney's mother. She was the sole living witness and one of Abigail's closest friends.Kourtney's mother was named Abigail and was a child of the prominent Carnegie family, known for their wealth and influence.Twenty years ago, Abigail fell in love with a poor researcher. However, this love was vehemently opposed by Mr. Carnegie, a powerful figure with immense wealth and influence. He forbade his daughter from associating with someone of lower social standing. He used every means to separate them.Yet, Abigail remained steadfast in her love. Unbeknownst to Mr. Carnegie, she was already pregnant and chose to stay with the researcher. Faced with Mr. Carnegie's threats and pressure, she was determined to protect the child she was carrying. If her father had known about the child, he might not have let her keep it.Fate, however, ha
Kourtney was on the verge of starting her college life, but she had been preoccupied with her research and hadn't properly prepared, considering she was about to move to a new city.One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at her research facility – her father, Johnny. Over the years, their father-daughter relationship had been tense, but this time, Johnny hoped to mend their bond.Johnny said, "Kourtney, I know I've made many mistakes during your upbringing. I missed out on a lot of time with you, and I deeply regret that. I genuinely want to make amends and rebuild our father-daughter relationship."Kourtney's emotions were in turmoil, and her father's appearance left her conflicted. She wanted a complete family and wanted to reconnect with her father, but at the same time, the pain from the past made forgiveness difficult."Johnny, while I also want to fully let go of the past, the years of difficult growth have left their mark. It's not something I can achieve overnight," Kourtney s
Jeff received a call from Ethan early in the morning. His grandfather had gone missing!Upon hearing the news, Jeff's heart tightened. Thinking about the email Kourtney received, he had a bad feeling. He immediately asked Ethan to investigate and thoroughly examine all the traces his grandfather left behind.Ethan returned late with the investigation results and reported to Jeff, "Based on our investigation, it seems that Grandfather left home on his own last night and hasn't returned since. His phone has been turned off, and we can't reach him."Jeff grew even more worried. He knew his grandfather was always cautious and considerate, never acting recklessly.The others were equally concerned upon hearing the news. They gathered at the grandfather's house and began searching for clues. In the study, Kourtney accidentally stumbled upon an unsent letter. Upon opening it, they realized it was a letter from the grandfather to Jeff."Dear Jeff," the letter read, "If you're reading this, it
Back in New York, Kourtney eagerly began to study the information she had copied from the ANN organization. She spent a lot of time and effort before finally opening the files on the flash drive. When the information was presented to her, she was shocked to find that the information on the flash drive, the manuscript given to her by her grandfather, and the information she had taken from the ANN organization were all of her mother's lab research from her lifetime.It turns out that the people who were after her mother in the first place were the ANN organization!Kourtney told everyone about this discovery, and everyone was shocked, not realizing that the ANN organization had such a deep connection to Kourtney's mother and that they had planned such a big conspiracy.
Harrison escaped, thinking he'd made a clean getaway, unaware he'd walked into another, bigger trap: Jeff deliberately let him go, then sent someone to track his movements. Just when Harrison thought he was completely free of his pursuers, he was surrounded by a group of men in black."You think you can get away with this?" The person leading the group was Ethan, Jeff's assistant, who sneered.Harrison's heart fluttered as he realized he had walked into a trap, but it was too late. He struggled to escape, but the men in black were so powerful they didn't give him a chance.Ethan motioned for his bodyguards to control him, then stepped forward and removed his mask, revealing a familiar face. Everyone froze, they didn't expect this Harrison to be Colin!"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked suspiciously.Colin looked at him indifferently, Ethan suddenly understood, "So you are this Harrison, the accomplice of the ANN organization?"Ethan's face was ugly, he didn't think that Colin was
Kourtney opened her eyes to find herself tied up in a small, damp room. The smell of rust and dampness filled the room, and there were strange symbols on the walls."Finally awake." A cold voice came from the corner of the room and Kourtney looked up to see a mercenary in black camouflage staring at her indifferently."What the hell do you want?" Kourtney tried to remain calm, "I don't have what you want."The mercenary sneered, "We already have enough information, all we want is your scientific data and Compound H's research data. Hand them over and maybe we can spare your life."Kourtney sneered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."The mercenary said viciously, "A beauty like you, don't force me to use bad tactics!"Just then, the door to the room opened. A tall, imposing man entered, a shining dagger in his hand."Let me." The man approached Kourtney with a smug smile, "Your boyfriend's not here, let's see who else can save you."Kourtney's mind was racing, she knew the situation was getti
High school was over. Kourtney got her wish and entered the Yale School of Medicine. Bella entered the Yale School of the Arts.On this day, Jeff invited everyone to the family wine cellar to celebrate Kourtney getting her wish, and the Howard family's wine collection amazed everyone. Everyone discusses all the gossip that has been going on lately."Did you hear that the Edward family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to over-expansion and the economic crisis, and they have a huge amount of debt? Bella, who wants to marry into a rich family as a rich wife, can't accept this fact and wants to break off her engagement to the Edward family," Cathy said. Cathy said."How did the Edwards suddenly go bankrupt?" Kourtney asked curiously.Cathy looked at Jeff who was sitting next to Kourtney and didn't say anything.She turned her head to Jeff, "Did you do this?"Brittany eavesdropped from the sidelines, "Isn't it wonderful that her family went bankrupt?"Ryan laughed next to him, "R
