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
‘It’s quite late. What is it that I’m supposed to see?’Sienna did not bother to get up from her bed. As she remembered Harry’s dubious behavior and the kiss on her forehead, she replied with a bit of resentment, “I’m asleep!”After she spoke, no commotion came from the outside. It was late at night, and the villa had fallen into silence.Sienna tossed and turned, and she was unable to fall asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would recall everything that had happened in the capital city. She was thinking about… that man.“Harper! How are you doing?” Sienna murmured. She raised her hand to touch the light in front of her. Just then, a loud bang came from outside of her window.Bam! ‘What’s going on? Is there an ambush?’After getting up from the bed, Sienna immediately ran to the window and lifted the curtains.Fireworks lit up the dark night.The second she opened the curtains, the fireworks, which were arranged in all directions, took off at the same time. The colorful
The wind blew, and there were wrinkles in the lake.Her heart was also in turmoil.Sienna looked away. Of course, she did not really mean to leave, not to mention, the things that she brought with her had not come in handy yet.Sienna broke away from Harry’s grip, then walked to the group of rocks where she had just sat down and picked up a bag on the ground which contained more than a dozen hand-folded paper cranes.There was a small candle on top of the paper cranes, and a paper-folded disc was placed underneath. The candles could be lit and then placed in the water. Sienna took out a lighter, lit a few, then put them in the water. After that, she looked at Harry, raised her brows, and said, “Here, want to do it together?”Harry sat down beside her. He looked at the delicate paper crane in his hand, then thought for a moment and asked, “Did you fold all these?” “Yes.” Sienna looked at the faint candlelight on the water and said slowly, “When I was young at about the age of e
Eagor was immediately excited. It flew twice around Sienna before returning to its nest.By a lake, a few kilometers away from Lang Garden.Harry’s eyelashes were half drooping under the moonlight. His thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids, and his handsome face looked extremely secretive. It seemed as if he was covered with a layer of fog which was light and stunning, but it was impossible to see him clearly. Sienna sat down next to him.This was a group of rocks, which was cold and uncomfortable.But that was not the point. The point was that she was here.A trace of surprise flashed across Harry’s eyes, and there was also a certain emotion on his usually calm and unperturbed face as he asked, “Why are you here?” Sienna looked at the lake in front of her, raised her eyes, and said, “I can’t let you enjoy such beautiful scenery alone.”Under the moonlight, there were layers of mountains and rivers in front of them, and the neatly planted pines and cypresses s
Sienna paused for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Aren’t we going to Scott Mansion to see Lady Scott tomorrow?” “We are going to Scott Mansion to see my grandmother tomorrow. Just accompany me tonight, okay?”The corners of Harry’s mouth curled into a shallow arc, and the clear aura around his body dispersed. He was extremely gentle. “Okay?”Sienna keenly felt that Harry’s speech at the moment was different from usual, but she could not tell what the difference was. After a brief moment of hesitation, she declined, “It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”“Okay.”Harry got up. He was still smiling as he said, “Goodnight, then.”He then left.The dining room instantly became quiet, and Harry’s invisible charming aura gradually dissipated. The crystal lamp above Sienna’s head did not move and was emitting a warm glow.Sienna wiped her mouth, then got up and left the dining room.When she was about to go upstairs to her room to rest, she inadvertently heard someone
‘At this time, an elderly pretty boy lost the light in his eyes.’‘The person who left the comment above should compensate me! You caused me to drop my mask because I laughed!’When the production team saw that the effect was so good, they decided to let Keegan move around in the virtual world longer before letting him down.It so happened that the live broadcast time was too short, and the viewers were reluctant to leave the live broadcast room because of the high popularity and the heated discussions. As such, they simply made Keegan perform a 360-degree spin!…When Sienna returned to Lang Garden, she received the income from this live broadcast. With Harry’s crazy reward and the accumulation of countless gift rewards that she had received from hundreds of millions of viewers, Sienna made quite a considerable income.In addition, this live broadcast was a great success. It had great popularity, and the Universal Atrium would also get a huge share of the profit.Sienna was sat
Quentin was stunned for a moment. He could not bear it, and he immediately stepped forward and carried Clara, then walked out without saying a word.After he left, Christina, who had been watching this scene, sneered and said, “Pfft, she’s really good at putting on an act. Clara is really a master when it comes to manipulating men.”The live recording stopped here.This was probably the shortest episode of the live broadcast of the large-scale reality variety program, Ninja Survival, and it was probably the most thought-provoking episode.Quentin brought Clara to the hospital.Hank went home with lingering fears.The other guests who also ‘died’ also dispersed in groups of twos and threes. Jonas tried to speak to Sienna, but Sienna ignored him several times. In the end, he could only bow his head and leave in frustration. The live broadcast this time was extremely popular, and many media and reporters were gathered at the entrance of the Universal Atrium.They flocked up fra
Jonas suddenly came to his senses. He let go of Clara’s hand and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain and forest!He would only be facing death if he were to go there in the face of such raging flames. It was even more likely that he would not be able to find Sienna anywhere.But he went anyway.Hank, who was on the beach, had sobered up and was witnessing everything that had just happened. When he looked at Jonas’s back, he mocked, “At least, he still has a conscience.”But at this moment, a person fell down from the mountain wall.She was covered in blood and bruises. It was Sienna.Jonas glanced at her inadvertently. The moment he saw Sienna, he stopped in time, ran over, and asked, “Sienna, how did you get hurt so badly?” Sienna pointed at the high mountain wall and said indifferently, “It’s good enough that I survived.” Hank gulped and made a bold assumption, “Sienna, you… you didn’t rock-climb all the way down, did you?”“Yes.” Sienna nodded lightly. When Ha
In Clara’s eyes, as long as she cried and acted coquettishly, everything would be over just like that.It was just like every other time in the past. However, what she did not expect was that Jonas, who was watching her cry, was indifferent as he asked her a question in a tone that was so calm that it seemed almost unfamiliar to her. “Clara, did you really take care of me?”“…” Clara’s face was instantly pale. When Jonas was unconscious, she was busy being intimate with Quentin in order to enhance and strengthen her relationship with him.Clara said that she took care of him, but in fact, she had only been sitting next to him. Moreover, she was not the first to find out that he was down with a high fever. “Jonas…”Clara wanted to explain, but Jonas interrupted her indifferently, “Clara, I was still conscious even when I was unconscious.”Because he was conscious, he knew of Clara’s indifference and contempt for him; because he was conscious, he knew that Clara and Quentin
Christina was already waiting for him. When she saw that Quentin had opened his eyes, she walked forward with a smile and described everything that happened when he was unconscious to him in great detail.Christina was afraid that Quentin would not believe her, so she deliberately borrowed the staff’s cell phone to view the archive of each time period of the live broadcast. “Quentin, come here and take a look.”…In the virtual world, not long after Jonas had carried Hank ashore, he heard a second explosion in the forest!He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the cliff. His heartbeat quickened in an instant, and his mind even went blank.He escaped, but what about Sienna?There was only one parachute cloth. He landed successfully with Hank, but what about Sienna?Jonas raised his head, and his eyes suddenly flushed red in an instant. He originally thought that Sienna was urging him to jump down because she wanted to do an experiment. As such, he never thought that he
‘It is a fact that Clara didn’t hesitate to push Jonas from behind so that she could escape when they encountered the red fire ants before. Is this also considered right? Doesn’t this give you chills or make you feel scared? ‘Let me ask you, what will you feel when you’re facing the person that you’re desperately trying to protect and she suddenly stretches out her hands to push you to your death? Can you still empathize with her then? Can you still praise her for being kind? I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.’When the super fan was done speaking, the live broadcast room was even more deadly silent.However, Clara did not know anything about this.When she was desperately running forward, the only thoughts in her mind were to escape as soon as possible, find rescue as soon as possible, and then go back alive…Although she liked Quentin and also wanted to marry into the Kane family and become the veritable young mistress of the Kane family, the premise was that she would have to sur
