Snow raised her head to look at Ethan. “Have you ever been affected by fate before?”“So far...” Ethan looked outside the door and said, “I control my fate.”Snow’s heart skipped a beat, her face filled with shock. The teacup in her hand dropped to the ground, spilling tea everywhere.Her mind flashed with the many things she had heard about Ethan over the years—how he taught the ruthless town of Lytton how to farm and how he turned the fierce Crestwood into a place of song and dance. He also stopped a group of billionaire tycoons at the border of Riveria, killing half of them, and used their money to develop Aqua City; he even forced the South Regent, who commanded over a hundred thousand soldiers, to flee in the middle of the night and declare that he would never cross the border again!Snow smiled bitterly. “If you step in, would that mean I could finally be with him?”“Yes.” Ethan said, “I have many ways to bring you two together, but I won’t help him. All I’ll do is pick a
Ethan was still alive, and not only that, Snow had even seen him!Oliver’s breathing quickened. Could Ethan have learned about what was happening in Aqua City and was planning to take action against them?At that moment, all Oliver wanted to do was away, and maybe he should. He could forget about the money and everything. He knew very well how the previous businessmen had met their tragic end. Not only did they die, but their entire fortune had mysteriously disappeared as well. “Oliver?”Stephen noticed something off with Oliver.“What’s wrong?”Oliver snapped back to his senses, his body tensing up as he asked nervously, “What did Ethan say?”“He just mentioned that Snow’s parents died in a famine. He also said a lot of strange things, like she chose to sacrifice herself or something.”Stephen still could not make sense of it.Oliver pressed, “Is that it?”Stephen nodded.Oliver continued, “Did he mention us?”“Haha!” Stephen laughed. “I understand now. Are you worried
Ethan had left them too traumatized.They had witnessed a businessmen get crushed to death by an electronic signboard that fell from the sky, right in front of them. Blood splattered all over them, making them scream on the spot.The most terrifying thing was that after the investigation, the person’s death was ruled an accident, not murder!“I’ll be more mindful next time,” Oliver said, “There’s something more important now.”“Don’t tell me… Is Snow planning to go against Ethan?”They all gasped in unison when they thought of that possibility.The last person who tried to use a honeypot trap against Ethan met a horrible death. His room was filled with blood, and his family was poisoned to death.“I don’t think so.”Oliver looked nervous as he brought it up. Simply bringing up the topic gave him chills. After all, he was the one who sent Snow out on that mission.“It’s not about Ethan. It’s about Snow. She knows that her parents are dead, so her wish has been fulfilled. I’m wo
“Okay. I’ll bring her home once everything in Aqua City is settled. She’s so sweet, and she really understands me…”Just thinking about Snow filled Stephen with energy.This time, he absolutely could not fail. Aqua City’s economy had to take off. He had to clear his name and make everyone look at him differently!Seeing the change in Stephen’s expression, Simon felt relieved that his son had finally found the right person. With everything falling into place—timing, opportunity, and support—it seemed impossible for Stephen to fail this time!More than ten days passed, and the grand opening of the games was just seven days away. As the stadium had finally been completed, Stephen took the mayor for an inspection. The place was massive, spanning a full three hectares. Although it was only a single level, it was divided into many sections to ensure that there would be enough space for all the events to be held.Eighty percent of the field was made of chemical plastic, while the remai
He quickly called Oliver.“Mr. Fox, can you reach Snow?”Oliver asked, “What happened?”“I can’t reach her. The people at home also said that they haven’t seen her for days.”“What?” Oliver immediately said, “Let me try calling her.”He picked up another phone and tried to call Snow but could not reach her either.“No good. I can’t get through either.”Stephen grew more anxious. Snow was missing! He hung up the call with Oliver and immediately booked a flight back to the capital.A few hours later, he arrived at the Lowes’ residence.Stephen looked in Snow’s room and noticed that it was clean and tidy. The clothes he had given her were untouched.“How could this be?” He slumped on the bed, his expression hollow. “She’s all alone and is unfamiliar with the place. Where could she have gone?”Suddenly, he thought of Ethan.“Right! Ethan knows her. Maybe Snow went to find him!”At that thought, Stephen immediately drove to Drakthorn Ridge.When he arrived at the villa, he not
He did not expect Snow to be Stephen’s woman!Liam put two and two together and immediately guessed that Snow probably wanted to use Stephen as her shield.What a cunning woman!Stephen did not know why Liam reacted so strongly to this piece of information.“Is Snow Green really with you?” Liam asked in confirmation.“Yes, she is!” Stephen felt uneasy. Did Snow get into an accident somewhere and someone had to collect her body?He quickly asked, “What happened to Snow?”Liam took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know. We’re also looking for her. Do you know what Snow has done in the past?”Stephen frowned. “She’s just the daughter of a steel magnate. What could she have done?”Upon hearing those words, Liam immediately knew that Stephen had fallen for the cunning woman’s devices.“You’ve been deceived. She has a record of defrauding millions, and she’s hurt people...” Liam listed Snow’s crimes.Stephen stood frozen in place, unable to move. He could not believe it!Snow was
“Are you going to bear the consequences if the criminal escapes?” Liam was a little angry.Nina’s case had gone cold for three years. There had to be an explanation.Furthermore, with everything that Snow had done, she could not be allowed to continue roaming free.“I’ll take responsibility!” Stephen felt like his heart was being pierced and was bleeding endlessly. “If she’s truly guilty, I... I’ll personally cuff her.”It took him all his courage and strength to utter those words.“Don’t forget what you just said.” Liam pulled him forward.They then approached Snow.“Snow.”Her body trembled when she heard Stephen’s voice. She raised her head to look at him. “Why are you here? Did you finish your business in Aqua City?”Stephen did not seem to hear her question and asked anxiously, “Did you...”Snow interrupted him, “Yes. Everything they say is true. I’ve hurt many people.”She clenched her fists and raised them slowly.It was as if she was waiting for the handcuffs!Boom
Stephen stared straight at the ceiling. “Snow was arrested. She’s committed so many crimes.”“Huh?” George thought he heard wrongly. “Is that all? Did you forget who you are? You’re a young mogul from Metropolis. It’ll be easy as pie for you to get her out!”At those words, Stephen’s eyes instantly lit up. “That’s right! I can save her!”However, he soon thought of something else.“She seems to be tied to an unsolved case from three years ago. Her friend killed a family of thirteen before committing suicide.”George agreed that that did complicate things.“Although it’s problematic, it’s still resolvable. Your family can get her out as long as she cooperates.”Those words completely awakened Stephen.That was right!He still had the Quinns! With the Quinns’ support, freeing Snow would be easy.He immediately called Simon.“Dad, I need a favor!”Simon was confused. “What is it? Did something happen in Aqua City?”“No,” Stephen said. “Aqua City is doing well. It’s Snow.”“H
