At the central hospital of Krine. Eliza sat on the chair, anxiously staring at the words "in operation" on the top of her head. Beside her, Roseane's assistant Gilbert squatted on the ground, constantly grabbing his hair with his fingers. "I shouldn't let her be capricious." "I should have sensed that something was not right when she told me that she wanted a day off this afternoon..." "But my mind was full of date with my girlfriend tonight..." "If anything happens to Roseane, I will never forgive myself..." Gilbert, a big man of 6 feet, sounded like crying. Eliza pursed her lips and raised her hand to pat his shoulder. "Roseane will be fine." "It's all my fault." Gilbert cried and buried his head in his arms. "I shouldn't have let her go out today. I shouldn't have let her go find Matthew. I shouldn't..." He seemed to realize something as he spoke. He looked up at Matthew who was standing by the window in the distance
In the ward of the central hospital of Krine. Roseane lay quietly on the bed, as if she was simply sleeping. Matthew had been sitting by the bed and watching her silently. Eliza pushed open the door and walked in. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Demarion called her and asked her to go home just now, but she was not in the mood to go home at all. She didn't want to go home or sleep. She wanted to stay here like Matthew. What if Roseane woke up the next second? "Eliza." Matthew was facing her with his back and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think I'm an asshole?" His eyes were fixed on Roseane's face. "When you sent me the message tonight, I should have gone to see you." "If I had gone to find you... maybe everything would be different." Eliza pursed her lips. "I'm also responsible for this..." She should not have listened to the director and left. Even if Esme's target was her, it would b
Eliza's hand that was holding the phone tightened. She did not expect that the jade pendant Luca had given her was now in Riley's hands! But... She took a deep breath. "Mr. Lawson, how would I know if you're lying to me?" "I remember I've already lost that jade pendant before I went to the Lawson residence." "But you said that I lost it when I was in the Lawson residence?" Riley sneered. "It doesn't matter when you lost it. Anyway, this jade pendant should be important to you." As soon as he finished speaking, Eliza received a photo from him on Whatsapp. It was indeed the jade pendant that Luca gave her last time! Eliza's heart tightened. She lowered her voice. "What do you want?" "What do you think?" Riley's voice was cold. "It's already so late when Esme was brought to the police station." "She is always pampered by us. She will not be used to living in places like the police station." "I want her b
"However... " Eliza took a deep breath and glanced at Beau. "How did you know I was in Cloud Lake Villa?" Not only did he know that she was there, but he could also find her precisely in the villa area. Beau frowned slightly. "I've sent you a message." Eliza, "?" "When did you ever text me?" Beau glanced at her coldly and said, "You really didn't know that was me?" Eliza, "Which..." Before she finished her words, she suddenly remembered the number saved under the name "darling"! She had always thought that it was Graciana, and she did not expect... She bit her lip and laughed. "Well, looks like you're the 'darling'." "Of course." Beau looked at her with his bottomless eyes. "Don't you know that, Mrs. Valentine?" Eliza pursed her lips and recalled that she had been sending some ambiguous messages to that number recently. She was so embarrassed that her scalp turned numb. "I..." "It seems that Mrs. Valent
"Eliza, if anything happens to Presley and Esme, I won't spare you!" Riley left angrily, leaving behind these words. Eliza stood where she was, watching as he helped Presley walk away. Her eyes gradually turned cold. After a while, her cell phone rang. It was from Demarion. She knew that he must have been anxiously waiting at the entrance of the police station. Raising her hand to hang up the call, Eliza turned around and strode out of the police station. "Mr. Valentine, what are you looking at?" "It's nothing." In a corner of the police station, Elias withdrew his gaze. "What is that woman doing here?" The man on the side glanced at Eliza's back. "Oh, she's here to make a statement. One of her friends was kidnapped and abused yesterday." Elias nodded and turned to look at the person next to him. "Something happened to her friend. Is she all right?" "Do you think she looks like she's not? She's definitely fine." T
"Have a seat, Elias." Seeing that Elias was still rooted to the ground, Jory cleared his throat and pointed at the sofa opposite him. "Beau said that he has something important to announce today..." Then, he glanced at his watch and asked, "Are we still lacking Matthew and Lucija?" "Lucija has gone abroad." As soon as the old master finished speaking, Elias calmly opened his mouth. "It's said that there was an exhibition abroad. She took a private plane last night and left." A trace of affection flashed across his eyes. "She is as reckless as always." After he was done talking about Lucija, he seemed to think of something and looked up at Eliza. "Have you met with Lucija?" Eliza nodded, "Yes." "That girl is a little insensible. If she says something or does something that looks abnormal, don't take it to heart." When Elias said these words, he couldn't hide the love in his voice. Eliza narrowed her eyes slightly. "What are you
"I can accept it!" As soon as Elias finished speaking, Lucy hurriedly retorted, "Why can't I accept it!" "It's not like Roseane will never wake up!" Ten percent of the shares was too tempting. Even if Lucy was pretending to be stubborn, she had to admit that if Beau had not said that, even if their entire family worked hard for another ten years, they wouldn't be able to obtain so much shares! If marrying Roseane would make Matthew's life easier, why would she be unwilling? Anyway, it was not impossible for Roseane to wake up. After taking the ten percent shares, she could either treat her sickness, or simply divorce in a few years. She would not lose anything! Elias couldn't help but laugh at her dramatic change in attitude. "But she's an actress, a disgrace." Lucy rolled her eyes. "Elias, judge people by their looks, okay?" "What's so disgraceful about being an actress? Isn't Beau's wife an actress?" As she spoke, Lucy turne
Sweet Milan in the city centre. Eliza got out of the car, holding the depressed Braint in one hand and the smiling Demarion in the other, walking towards the dessert shop. "I used to like this store very much." Eliza looked up at the huge sign in front of her. Countless memories of the past flooded into her mind. Back then, when she and Esme's identity were mistaken, the Lawson family really treated her like their own daughter. At that time, Riley and Presley were willing to give her the best things. The same was for dessert. When she was the little princess of the Lawson family, all her desserts were from the Sweet Milan. Later, when her real identity was exposed, she had no reason to eat here. "Then mommy, you have the same taste as me!" Demarion smiled and held Eliza's hand tightly. "Let's have some dessert!" After that, he glanced at Braint very arrogantly. "Those who don't like sweet food, can avoid eating."
