While we were talking, a maid said that Mr. Williams' car had pulled into the mansion gate. Cassie sent a maid up to call Kourtney. While waiting for Kourtney, Nancy sarcastically said, "That Miss Elijah's rack is so big, she must be ugly, that's why she deliberately hides in her room and is afraid to meet people, right?" Alyssa immediately agreed, "Yes, Kourtney, how can you compare with my cousin's flowery looks!" At that moment, the maid spoke upstairs and said, "Missy is coming down!" Then a black figure appeared above the stairs. Kourtney was wearing a simple style Lucky dress, lig
Kourtney stopped and narrowed her eyes, "What's wrong with me?" "What did you do to 'Mr. Williams'? Why does he keep asking you questions?" "That's a question you should be asking him." Bella gritted her teeth: "You don't think you can get Mr. Williams like this, Mr. Williams finally looks at strength, not looks." Kourtney pursed her lips slightly: "Since you have that strength, what is the purpose of your visit with me?" Bella turned away in shame and anger. Wait, Kourtney, you won't be able to get away with this for long. W
Bella was surprised to find out that Kourtney was playing this piece, she had never heard it before, and, the melody of this piece is sometimes gentle, sometimes thrillingly surging, extremely easy to mobilize people's emotions, the finger skill of the person playing the piano requires a high degree, the average person is afraid that they can't play such a difficult piece.Kourtney, how can she play that kind of music?Most of the other people in the hall don't know much about piano music, but Kourtney's piano music is played at a very good tempo, and she also makes them feel the moving parts of the music, and they can't help but listen quietly and can't bear to disturb her.When Kourtney pressed the last button, the song ended and silence returned to the room.
As she walked to the door of the study, Bella took two quick steps because she was in a hurry, went to the door, and knocked on it."Come in!"When she heard Johnny's voice, Bella entered immediately.In the study, both Johnny and Cassie were there, and both of their faces were a bit ugly.Bella, who was already overwhelmed by the surprise, didn't notice Johnny and Cassie's faces and asked urgently after entering, "Dad, Mom, did Mr. Williams call and say that he agreed to take me as his student?"After asking this question, she looked at Johnny and Cassie with joy, expecting them to give her a positive answer.
Howard Group Building.Ethan finally delivered what Jeff wanted to his office. Looking at the little thing scurrying from side to side on his desk, Jeff took out his cell phone and called Kourtney.With this little thing around, his Kourtney would be very happy.The call was just answered, and before he could speak, an impatient, gruff male voice came across the line."Who is it?"Jeff frowned and glanced at the number on the phone to make sure it was Kourtney's.At that moment, he heard another man's voice on the opposite side of the phone: "This phone doesn't show a name, it's a str
The cold breath, constantly hitting the back of his neck, made Mr. Craig's spine crawl with a layer of goosebumps and his scalp tingle.He had thought of her voice countless times late at night, dreamt of tangling with her, so that only once did he hear who it was.The back of his neck was against a cold object, thin as a cicada blade as if at any time can cut his skin, so he was nervous and did not dare to move."You ......'re not drugged? How come you're okay?"Kourtney said weakly, "Oh, my physique is special, I grew up to be more sensitive to drugs, the general medicine does not have much effect on me."The drug Cassie had given her, altho
Inside the police station, Kourtney followed the police officers to take a statement, while the arrested Jacob and others kept pointing at Kourtney to the police officers to complain."It's her, she's the one who beat me up like that!""Yes, it's her, not just him, but me too, she beat me up!" Jacob pointed to his own face, which was swollen like a steamed bun."And us, we were all beaten by her too!" Others chimed in.A group of older men, pointing to their faces, accused the police officers of how hard Kourtney had hit them.And that police staff, took a look at sitting in front of their colleagues, looks good and tame girl, that girl a look
Seeing Jeff show up in her house, Kourtney's mind went blank for a moment."What are you ...... doing in my house?" Kourtney asked subconsciously.Jeff's gaze moved down her face, crossing her snowy shoulders to continue down.The bath towel just barely blocked her important parts, and the two straight and slender long white legs under the towel were extremely tempting.And his gaze, too, did not conceal his appreciation of her figure in the slightest."It was Miss Brittany, who asked me to take care of you."Kourtney: "..."
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
