Jade NeighborhoodIn the rented house with two bedrooms and a living room, Zane was watching TV. Hailey was cutting vegetables while Asher peeling the garlic.Thar simple scene was warm and lovely.When Asher received a call, Zane consciously lowered the volumes of the TV. Hence, Hailey could hear the phone conversation clearly.She could not help but stop cutting the vegetable. Tiffany was going to discuss with Asher about a potential partnership. Why did it sound so impossible?The Carter family and the Cokes family had been cooperating with each other for more than ten years now. Even if there was no marriage between both families, the cooperation between the two companies would not stop.Besides, the Coke's cooperation was Asher Lorenzo's sworn enemy. If Tiffany was sensible, she should not have anything to do with Asher Lorenzo corporation."Okay, see you in half an hour "Asher hung up the phone, and his charming eyes looked determined.Hailey looked up at him.

After hanging up, Hailey could not calm herself down. That day she bumped into Jett in the restaurant. When Jett saw Nikolai, he became as timid as a mouse.At that time, she thought that Jett was afraid that Nikolai would do something to him. If it was combined with what Jenny told her just now, would it be because of guilt and uneasiness that Jett ran away as soon as he saw Nikolai? Was it because Jett did not dare to face Nikolai?Hailey thought, "why was he afraid of facing Nikolai?""What happened exactly?"Hailey had a difficult time trying to figure out. She got up and took a sleeping pill out of the drawer. Over the years, she had been suffering from depression. When she was seriously ill, she had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. When she was about to swallow the pill, her cell phone rang on the bed. She thought thar Jenny had received some other news. When she took a closer look, the caller ID revealed that it was a call from Mia.When she first returned to Manila Ci
"Supervisor Chris, why is it you? Where is Mia?"By now, Hailey realized that something was wrong. It was not until that moment that she regretted heading out to help Mia in the middle of the night. Even if Mia's brother was really driven out of the hospital, it had nothing to do with Hailey.On the contrary, if something happened to Hailey there, Zaney would have no one else to rely on then.She took a step back, put her hand into her pocket, and secretly took out her phone.A roar of laughter was heard. "Mia? She's on my side. She left after you tricked her into coming here. It's not like she wants to stay here and watch hoe I'm going to take revenge on you, right?" Supervisor Chris rubbed his hand and moved closer to her gradually. The lust in his eyes intensified.Hailey put her hands behind her and unlocked the cell phone slowly, but her face was calm."Supervisor Chris, you and I were once colleagues. Why did you let Mia deceive me? What exactly do you want to do?""What do I wa

Nikolai's entire body reeked of alcohol. The cold water dripped down from his hair, refreshing his mind.Seeing that, Seth hurriedly said, "I will ask the waiter to bring something for you to sober up ""There's no need" he said coldly and strode out of the private room. Sean hurried to catch up with him.The black luxury car was driven swiftly at night, followed by several luxury cars. They were as fast as a cheetah in the dark night.Usually, it would take twenty minutes for them to reach Jade neighborhood. But it took seven minutes for Nikolai to arrive at the entrance of the Jade neighborhood."Uncle Nikolai, you're finally here." Zane sounded like he had been crying, but he desperately hold back his tears. He was wearing a thin pajamas and a pair of cartoon plush slippers.Nikolai took off his coat and put it in Zane. He lifted him up and said, "speak slowly."Zane had been feeling cold after standing in the night breeze for a long time. Suddenly, he felt warm. He sniffed and sai
In the suburbs, it was a dark night with strong wind, seething danger.A container was thrown into swamp. There were around four robust men who held shovels in their hands as they placed the soil, grass and leaves at the side onto the container."Fuck! Hie could they ask us to burry a person in the middle of the night! And they only paid a little money. If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken tbe task.""Oh, cut the crap! Hurry up and finish it so we get out if here. The cold wind is blowing, and it's a little scary."A roar of laughter was heard. "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?"Their laughter was heard by the person lying in the container, and that person slowly opened her eyes. It was completely dark and there was no light at all.Hailey raised her hand and touched around, but what she found was a rough piece of wood. She was so shocked that she immediately regained her consciousness and all the memories before she passed out emerged in her mind.At two o'clock in the morn
"President Nikolai?"Sean saw Nikolai standing motionless at the side of the road, so he could not help but urge Nikolai..Nikolai made a gesture, indicating to Sean to keep quiet, "Did you hear any sound?"Sean listened attentively for a while but he shook his head and said, "No..""Nikolai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to the wharf. Hailey is waiting for you to save her!"Seth stretched out his head from another car and shouted loudly. His voice was loud, blocking the sound of the night breeze. However, the sound of the box being tapped seemed to become more rapid.Nikolai released his grasp on the handle of the car door and said in a low voice, "You go to the wharf first."He handed Zane, who had always been in his arms to Nadine and said, "Nadine take care of him. I will go over there and have a look."Nadine did not know what he was trying to look at. She held Zane tightly and kept up with Sean's pace.In the night, Nikolai walked into the depths of the woods step by
"Shut up!" Nadine slapped him. "If you talk nonsense again, I will go to Nikolai and complain about it "Bob glared at her, "You're so impatient. How dare you slap your own brother!"Sean became quiet upset. "Alright. Just go home and have a rest. We can visit Mrs George when she wakes up"At that time in the ward.Hailey was dizzy abd her head hurt so bad. She was afraid that she would not wake up from her sleep, so she forced herself to open her eyes. She soon saw the warm yellow light, the snow white wall abv the infusion tube with the ticking sound.She had been sent to the hospital.She averted her gaze slowly and saw a person sitting beside the bed.His cold and handsome face showed a sign of fatigue and there were dark circles underneath the eyes. Besides, there was stubble above his lips.She did not knir where his coat was. The white shirt hing crookedly on his body and it's collar was covered with dirty yellow mud. His sleeves were rolled up high. And there was no mud on hid
