The cramped and simple rental house was a mess. All the things that could be smashed had been smashed, and there was not even a place where you could find footing on the floor beneath his feet.An arrogant and pompous lady was sitting on the sofa with a group of people. She was elegant like she was a high and mighty queen. His mother’s hair was disheveled, and her cheeks were red. She had obviously been slapped several times, and she could only whimper and beg for mercy.“I beg you to please have mercy and let me and my son off.”The woman cried, and when she saw Zeke back home, she shouted immediately, “What are you doing back here? Hurry up and leave!”Zeke clenched his teeth and walked in step by step.“Mom, we don’t have to beg them for help. Get up.”Zeke bent over and helped his mother up from the ground. The tone in his voice was indistinguishable. He looked at the noble lady who was sitting on the sofa and said word by word, “I was the one who caused your son to be para
Sherlyn fell to the ground and coughed a few times. She struggled to get up, but she had an asthma attack at that moment.Sherlyn clutched her collar tightly. Her face was flushed red, and she had difficulty breathing. She was like a fish that was on the verge of dying for water. She did not have any strength left, and she could only stretch out her hands with great difficulty. “Medicine… Medicine…”The medicine was in a cabinet not far away.Zeke violently pushed the bodyguard next to him away, rushed to the cabinet, and opened the drawer. But just as he was about to get the bottle of inhaler, four bodyguards swarmed up and restrained his hands and feet in a death grip!The bottle of life-saving inhaler fell into the noble lady’s hands. “You want this, don’t you? Fine. Get down on your knees and beg me, and I’ll give it to you then.”The noble lady was condescending as she smiled openly and cruelly. Zeke’s eyes were flushed red. He saw that his mother could not breathe and
At this time, near the Laver mansion.It was drizzling, and dark clouds were shrouding the area. The boy with flushed red eyes was walking on the road with a knife. His shoulders were wet, and there were injuries on his legs from getting beaten up. He was limping, but he was still firmly running toward the villa that was not far away. He had to get revenge!Zeke held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand. His mind was filled with the thought of perishing together with that woman.At this time, the drizzle above his head was blocked. A black umbrella had opened up behind him.Zeke was stunned for a moment. He did not turn around, nor did he care who was holding the umbrella for him. He simply continued walking forward. One step, two steps. When he finally approached, the high courtyard wall and iron gate of the Laver mansion blocked his advances. The villa was impregnable, and there were surveillance cameras both inside and outside the villa. There were also many b
Sienna and Zeke no longer spoke with each other and silently made their way back the way they had come from. After a prolonged period of silence, Zeke eventually replied in a raspy voice, “Thank you.”He expressed his gratitude to Sienna for providing him with protection in the toughest time in his life.Sienna enquired, “Where were you going to relocate?”“Capital City,” Zeke responded. He had been working on that plan for a while. There would always be a chance as long as he put in the effort since Capital City was an affluent city.His mother had initially opposed his plan. She wanted him to graduate; it was such a pity for him to give up when he only needed to finish the final semester. He had to persuade his mother over and over again. He believed he could escape the nightmare which Lavers had inflicted upon him. He never expected a drastic change would occur on the day before he was about to move away with his mother. If he could move earlier—just a little earlier—maybe
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had set foot in Harry’s study after the wall between the villas had been demolished.The study’s door was very hefty. The door was equipped with a dual fingerprint combination lock. There was excellent sound insulation both inside and outside the room. Even with her ears on the door, she was unable to hear the noise that came from the room. Sienna had no desire to pry into other people’s business. She walked over gracefully, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.Knock, knock, knock. Two seconds later, the door was opened, and Kai walked out of the room. He bowed to Sienna and greeted, “Young Mistress, how may I be of assistance?”“I’m looking for Harry.” There was no need for Kai to deliver that message because Harry’s deep and magnetic voice came out of the room. “Come in.”Sienna entered the room.The study was quite spacious. There were several bookshelves which were fully occupied with books. The interior was organized a
Sienna was a little dumbfounded due to the sneeze. ‘Why do I feel like someone is cursing me behind my back?’Bona put her hand on her hips while saying, “Sisi, you must have sneezed because you got wet in the rain. This is unacceptable! I’ll ask Miss White to prepare ginger tea for you!”“I’m good.” Sienna wanted to refuse, but Bona had rushed out of the room in the blink of an eye.‘Well, there is no way for me to escape from drinking that bitter and spicy ginger tea, it seems.’ Sienna shook her head. She gave Hunter a call since she had some time to kill. She needed to leave Isonbert for a few weeks, so she had to make sure Universal Atrium could run smoothly. She had to give the crew a few instructions no matter if she was worried or not. Hunter answered the phone rather quickly. His background was extremely noisy. He couldn’t conceal the joy in his tone as he said, “Boss! I was just about to give you a call. I’m quite surprised when you called first. Hehe! Quick! Guess ho
She had made arrangements for everything that required her attention. That night, Sienna adjusted the intensity and acupuncture technique for Harry’s treatment. Previously, she had suppressed the poisons in his body using the most conservative and gentle methods. Even though the procedure took longer to complete, the pain was lessened. After some time, Sienna had come to understand that Harry’s body might appear frail on the outside, much like a sick man who could be blown away by the wind, but in reality, he had incredible endurance for pain and was as stable as a rock. For Harry, the discomfort brought by the acupuncture and the toxin coursing through his veins resembled that of a mosquito bite.Sienna inserted the needle in Harry solemnly. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Harry’s composed and indifferent face. She could not help but murmur in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have gone soft on you from the beginning if I had known you could handle pain so well.”
Sienna put the silver needle away, then she raised her hand to wipe her forehead, which Harry had just kissed. She gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I won’t think of him in front of you. I’ll go back to my room and take my time thinking about him!”With that, Sienna was about to leave with her needle bag.Sienna became angrier the more she considered it, so she couldn’t help but snap, “Harry, I hope this won’t happen again! Don’t forget the contents of our contract!”The first rule of the contract was that there would be no intimate contact between them when there were no outsiders present.“Don’t get carried away! You were the one who proposed this condition to restrain me!” Sienna took a deep breath and reminded him, “The marriage contract between us is a collaboration. I will not interfere with your business, and you should stay away from mine.”Sienna was about to strode out of the room after that. Just as her hand touched the door handle, Harry’s deep voice came from behind
