Zoey's POV I quickly composed myself, reminding myself that I was now Dr. Z and must not be discovered. I adjusted my hat. It looked ordinary, but the surrounding veil was made of a special material. From inside, I could see clearly out, but from outside, it was impossible to see in. Watching Russell approach, I modulated my voice and took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Madox, hello. I am Dr. Z." Russell nodded in response. "Hello, Dr. Z. You are really hard to get an appointment with." I had to force myself to explain, "... I apologize. I was previously in seclusion researching a medication specifically for the unique constitution of werewolves, and I did not take any patients." Russell said with a faint smile, "As long as you can cure my mother, on top of the five hundred million consultation fee, I can add another two hundred million." 'Two hundred million? It's my husband's money. If I don't earn it, it would be a waste!' I couldn't help but smile and agreed, "Alright." As
Zoey's POV I nodded and said, "Since Mr. Madox has spent seven hundred million dollars, I'll give him a free check-up." Russell unfastened his cufflinks, revealing a section of his smoothly contoured forearm, and then politely said, "Please." I focused my mind and engaged in deep communication with the wolf within me. Instantly, an intangible yet powerful aura of perception emanated from my fingertips, gently enveloping Russell's wrist. Under the influence of this aura, I could clearly sense the flow of energy and vital signs within him, the robust and forceful energy fluctuations. Suddenly, I noticed Russell's gaze falling on my hand, and my heart skipped a beat. Feeling guilty, I quickly covered my hand with the wide sleeve. After a while, I let out a soft sigh and said, "The injury has been for far too long, and all the energy meridians within the body are completely blocked. With my current abilities, I'm truly powerless. I apologize, Mr. Madox." Denzel, with a quick turn o
Zoey's POV Nelson furrowed his brows, his face full of doubt as he said, "Why do I feel like you're scamming me?" I let out a soft hum, put away the medicine bottle, and said, "I won't sell it then. Remember, if you come to me again, it'll be a hundred million." Livia wanted to say something more, but Nelson stopped her, saying, "Mom, I'm very healthy. Don't listen to her nonsense." I smiled and said, "Remember, it'll be a hundred million if you come to me again." Nelson snorted and cursed, "Quack!" Russell's expression darkened, and he reprimanded, "Do you want to be punished by the family law?" Nelson immediately became silent, not daring to utter a word. Russell looked at me and said, "I'll see you out." I nodded and replied, "Alright." After we walked out of the old mansion, Russell whispered his thanks to me. I just gave a faint smile and said, "No big deal. As they say, only the dead can keep secrets, but I still hope you will spare my life." Russell chuckled and sa
Third Person's POV Braylen and Aubrie, still standing in the same spot, were feeling quite conflicted, especially with the revelation of a traitor in their midst. Aubrie asked, "Where should we take Caroline?" After a moment of contemplation, Braylen replied, "Take her to Serene Manor. It's the safest place with Russell." Aubrie's brows furrowed, "By doing this, aren't we openly declaring our allegiance to Russell?" "We have to choose between Denzel and Russell. With Russell now in control of the Madox family, it's unlikely that Denzel can make much of a difference. Besides, if it weren't for Russell bringing in Dr. Z, Caroline would have been lost," Braylen reasoned. Aubrie nodded in agreement, "Alright! Should we discuss this with Abigail? She's coming back tomorrow." "No need. I'll just inform Russell and take Caroline over," Braylen decided. Zoey's POV After leaving the Madox family's residence, I headed straight to Galaxy Studio. I was well aware that even if I returne
Zoey's POV Upon hearing this, I was taken aback. Shouting another man's name on Russell's bed, no wonder he was so angry. I quickly asked, "Whose name did I call out?" Russell gritted his teeth and forced out a name, "Nelson." I couldn't hold back a laugh and burst out with a "pffft" sound. I reached out both hands, cupped his face, looked into his eyes, and with a smile that curved my eyes, I asked, "So, you're jealous?" "I'm not," he replied. "Really?" I pressed further. "Of course," he maintained his haughty demeanor, trying to turn his head away, but I turned his face back towards me. I tilted my head, smiled, and asked again, "Did I say anything else?" "No," he answered crisply. "Oh, then I must have been scolding him in my dream!" I said. "What did you scold him for?" Russell immediately became curious and couldn't help but ask. I curled my lips into a smile and said, "You finally stopped saying 'no'!" Seeing my playful expression, Russell couldn't resist asking a
Russell's POV I took a deep breath, and the irritations of the day seemed to dissipate all at once. I glanced down, pulled the blanket up a bit higher, and then turned on the microphone to announce the end of the meeting. I returned to the bedroom and took a cold shower, which lasted longer than usual. I found it quite odd that Zoey hadn't come to find me. I narrowed my eyes, wondering if she had discovered that I wasn't disabled. But I quickly dismissed the thought. I had hidden it well, and it shouldn't have been discovered. After I had composed myself, I wheeled into the kitchen and saw Zoey cooking. I realized then that I had been overly suspicious and let out a sigh of relief. Zoey's ink-black hair, resembling seaweed, cascaded down to her waist, looking incredibly gentle. At that moment, she exuded a unique charm in my eyes, the captivating aura that belonged to my mate. I rested one hand on the armrest and the other on my chin, quietly observing her as she bustled abou
Russell's POV Myra was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, her whole body trembling as she stammered, "Alpha Russell." I glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Why are you kneeling?" With her head bowed low, she pleaded tearfully, "Alpha Russell, I was wrong. Please spare me this once, I beg of you." My fingertips tapped the armrest of the wheelchair, and my voice, devoid of any warmth, echoed, "Since when did this start? Think carefully before you answer. I rather like my wife's suggestion." My words hung in the air like a verdict. The aura I exuded seemed to solidify the very air around us. Though my voice was soft, its icy tone sent shivers down one's spine. Myra was crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face as she explained, "It started three months ago. I received a call, and they threatened my son's life, forcing me to pick up a small package from behind a beef stall at the market. They instructed me to add something to your food and to monitor yo
Russell's POV In the spacious dining room, which resembled a palace, Myra was banging her head on the ground with a resounding thud, her face etched with horror and pleading. Tears streamed down her face like a breached dam, as she wailed, "Alpha Russell, please spare my life in consideration of my years of service at Serene Manor. I had no choice. My son is still under their control!" Her voice trembled, as if all her strength had been drained, leaving only desperate pleas. I spoke without a hint of emotion, "One must face the consequences of their actions, don't you agree? Brent." My voice was deep and magnetic, yet it carried an unquestionable authority, as if emerging from the depths of darkness to pass judgment. Upon hearing my call, Brent immediately entered, responding with the utmost respect, "Yes, Alpha Russell." His eyes were filled with awe, and he dared not show the slightest negligence. "Take her to the secret chamber and deal with her according to the pack's rules
Third Person's POVRoland looked at Jayleen, "Are you in on the bet? I guess you don't have much confidence in Ariana's design drafts, so let's just forget it."Jayleen knew Roland was trying to provoke her, but she wasn't the type to be easily agitated.However, this time, she was extremely confident in Ariana's design drafts, so she haughtily raised her head, "Sure! But if Zoey doesn't beat Ariana, she must apologize to me as well. Conversely, I'll apologize to her!"Roland was naturally full of confidence in Zoey, "Remember what you said. Everyone here, remember their words, so they can't go back on their promises later."At that moment, a male voice rang out, "Just apology? If you're going to bet, make it kowtow!"Everyone turned to look, and saw the newcomer dressed in a suit and tie, with a nonchalant attitude, it was Nelson.Nelson directly put his arm around Ariana's waist, "Sorr
Third Person's POVLeanna was dressed in a white off-shoulder maxi dress, revealing her fair and flat shoulders. A belt was tied around her waist, giving her an elegant and graceful appearance.She smiled and spoke calmly, "When Star signed with Galaxy Studio, she explicitly stated that she needed absolute time and space, which means absolute freedom. She doesn't like to participate in such events, so she never makes an appearance, and I can't force her. As a top designer, how could Star give her sketches to someone else? I don't know where you've heard these messages from, but if you can find the source, I, on behalf of the design studio, will send a legal letter. Such rumors are an insult to designers. The sketches this time were designed by Zoey and have been recognized by all the designers in the studio. Therefore, whether it's Star or Zoey, I hope everyone focuses on the work itself, not these baseless rumors."The reporters then poi
Third Person's POVPriscilla's nose was already beaded with fine sweat, and with a "thud," she knelt on the ground, "Mr. Madox, Mrs. Madox, spare my life, please. I was just confused for a moment! Someone contacted me, offering me two hundred thousand to observe whether Mr. Madox is disabled, and I was bewitched."Brent conducted a search and retrieved Priscilla's phone, handing it over to Zoey.Russell watched Priscilla coldly, a suppressed low pressure filling the entire living room."Brent, have her taken to Snake Forest."Snake Forest?Priscilla was terrified, "I only sent one message to them, and I haven't sent anything since."Zoey asked, "What did you send?"Priscilla answered, "When I was washing the bedsheet last time, I saw bloodstains on it. I sent this message to them. It was just this once! Mr. Madox, I beg of you, don't send me to Snake Forest! I have an eighty
Third Person's POVAriana said confidently, "Nelson, this time we are gonna win!"Nelson recalled how Zoey had once exposed her conversation with Ariana, claiming that Ariana's design drafts were drawn by Zoey.He furrowed his brows and asked, "Ariana, are these design drafts drawn by Zoey?"Ariana became a bit angry, "Nelson, how could you think that way? Zoey is just slandering me! She's the one plagiarizing!"Nelson smiled, "Don't be upset. As long as you say no, I believe you. Baby, I miss you. Come over tonight, okay?"Ariana listened, her mouth twitching as she looked at the whip marks on her body, feeling a shiver run through her, "I still have to work on the finished products. How about after the launch is over? I'll keep you company, alright?"Nelson gritted his teeth, "Fine, I'll wait for you."After hanging up the phone, his gaze turned gloomy and profound.
Third Person's POVZoey walked into Russell's room. He was standing in front of the French window, talking on the phone.Dressed in dark blue pajamas that blended with the curtains of the same hue, he turned his head upon hearing her approach, his pale face appearing colder.After ending the call, he walked up to Zoey.Zoey lowered her eyes, her teeth biting her lower lip.Russell used his fingertip to lift her chin, asking, "Afraid to look at me?"Zoey responded vaguely, "How could I be?"Russell took a step forward, his toes touching hers, "I'm sorry. I lost control a bit today.""It's okay. I understand. After all, you were drugged.""What if I hadn't been drugged?"Zoey swallowed hard. If that were the case, she was indeed a little scared.Russell chuckled, picked her up horizontally, and said, "Let's get some sleep, okay?"&
Third Person's POV"No.""Really?""Mm-hmm."Russell tilted his head, gently pecking her, again and again, "Then how about one more time?"Zoey was taken aback, "You... you... can't!""I can't?"Zoey swallowed, "I mean, this wolfsbane is too potent. If we continue like this, your wolf will keep spiraling out of control, and you won't tire all night, but it would be too harmful to your body."She pursed her lips, "I wanted to tell you this just now, but you wouldn't listen."Russell fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "So, can I or can't I?"Zoey bit her lower lip, feeling her face burning hot."You can, you're very capable, you're the best!"Russell chuckled, "When does your period end?""In about two days.""Okay."What did "okay" mean?Zoey lowered her head and s
Third Person's POVZoey's first suspects were the Harmon couple, followed by Nelson.She said, "Secretly investigate who these people have been in contact with recently. Don't alert them, especially those we are familiar with.""Understood."As they spoke, Zoey arrived at room 777.Troy swiped his card, and Zoey entered.The room was dimly lit, with moonlight streaming through the window and casting onto the white carpet.A solitary wheelchair was parked at the foot of the bed.Not seeing anyone on the bed, Zoey called out, "Russell? Russell, it's Zoey. I'm here."Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, Zoey quickly walked over and pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge."Russell? Are you in there? It's Zoey."She knocked on the door and then pressed her cheek against it to listen for any movement inside.Suddenly, th
Third Person's POVThe door wasn't fully closed, and Ariana, who had been quietly following the two, overheard their conversation.Ariana's eyes spun around as she realized her parents had been keeping a secret from her, and it seemed to be a significant one.She closed the door and left.Back in her room, she contacted Nelson, and they agreed to meet at the suburban villa.She changed into a sexy black strapless dress, applied heavy makeup, and drove over.Entering the villa, she pushed the door open and saw Nelson sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a glass of red wine.Ariana sashayed in, but her smile froze as she noticed the walls adorned with various strange tools.Nelson drained the wine from his glass, stood up, and wrapped his arms around her waist, "You've become quite thinner."He led her to the tools and picked up two ropes, "I think we'll use th
Third Person's POVIn the spacious and bright office, Zoey and Leanna exchanged glances.Leanna gestured with her chin, and Zoey clicked the answer button, turned on the speaker, and pressed the record button.Daria's shrill voice came through the microphone, "Zoey, when do you plan to release Ariana?"Zoey responded, "If Ariana is ill, she should receive treatment at the psychiatric hospital. I am acting responsibly towards her."Daria's voice became piercing, "Zoey, are you recording right now? Turn off the recording!""Should I do as you say?" Zoey said, while leisurely stirring her coffee. After tasting it and finding it not sweet enough, she added another sugar cube."Matteo hasn't been eating well these days. Zoey, what do you think we should do about that?"Upon hearing this, Zoey's fingers holding the spoon tightened instantly. "You're not feeding Matteo?"&nb
