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
Russell's POV Zoey quickly pried off a mini camera the size of a soybean and walked back, naturally sitting on my lap again. She opened her palm to show me, proudly introducing, "This is a new type of camera. It's tough to detect, and it's handy." Her eyes were filled with pride and joy as if she were showing me her trophy. I picked up the camera and examined it, recognizing its origin, "X Base makes this. You have good taste." Upon hearing this, Zoey nodded enthusiastically, "X Base's tech products are leading in the industry. Although they are a bit expensive, they are indeed worth the price. Moreover, X Base has done in-depth research in artificial intelligence, and its development prospects are particularly broad. I'm quite interested in the mastermind behind that base." Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, captivating to behold. "Quite interested?" I felt a strange discomfort upon hearing this, unconsciously intensifying my tone. A fleeting pang of jealousy flashed through
Russell's POV As noon approached, I finished my meeting and returned to the office. Upon entering, I saw Zoey fast asleep on the sofa, with a trace of cream lingering on the corner of her lips, looking adorable. I couldn't help but smile, extending my long fingers to wipe away the cream. My movements were soft and delicate as if I were caressing a rare treasure. Suddenly, the girl's tongue flicked out and curled around, the moist sensation catching me off guard. I stood there, a little at a loss, and asked, "Zoey, do you know what you're doing?" While caressing the corner of her mouth, I was pondering what had come over her. Then, unexpectedly, her tongue flicked out again and curled around, and I watched as the cream on my finger was licked away by her. It dawned on me that she must have wanted to eat the cake in her sleep. I looked at her affectionately and smiled. Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, the next second, Zoey suddenly grabbed my hand tightly and called ou
Russell's POV Three years ago, after Caroline fell down the stairs and fell into a coma, she gradually faded from the social circle. Abigail thus became the only young lady of the Madox family. Abigail was quite outstanding in appearance and was admitted to a film and television major. Before she even graduated, she signed with Braeden's film company. Although she was an adopted daughter, she was still a member of the Madox family, so Braeden gave her many advertising endorsement opportunities and even let her play the leading role in a drama. In addition to the strong finalcial support, Abigail herself was indeed very talented and had become the youngest ever Best Actress in history. After Nelson established Born Beauty, he thought of recruiting her, thinking that since they are all from the Madox family, Abigail should give him this chance. Unexpectedly, Abigail refused and stated that she would not leave View Entertainment Company. Abigail blinked her eyes and looked at us
Russell's POV Zoey replied with a smile, "Sure." I noticed Zoey's attention being drawn away by Abigail again, and a wave of impatience flashed through me, my brows furrowing. Zoey sensed my mood shift and soothingly held my hand, half-jokingly saying, "Knowing you also need styling, we could have just called the stylist to Serene Manor. Caroline is there too. If she were awake, she'd surely want to look beautiful for the birthday banquet." "Caroline?" Abigail started, surprised, "You mean?" I lifted my eyelids and said to her, "Caroline is currently residing at Serene Manor." "What?" Abigail was shocked. In the spacious restaurant, Abigail's astonished voice immediately drew attention. Many eyes turned to her at once, as she was a public figure. She realized this and quickly raised her hand to shield her face, trying to block the curious glances. I looked at her meaningfully and asked, "Why are you so nervous?" Abigail quickly composed herself, forcing a smile and explain
Zoey's POV I glanced up and noticed it was a design by Leanna. I quite liked it and happily agreed to give it a try. After putting it on, I looked at myself in the mirror and found it looked really good. At that moment, Lilah smiled at me and said, "Let me do your hair up for you." I declined, saying, "Thank you, but I'm used to wearing my hair down." Lilah, hearing this, still smiled and said it was fine. Then, I walked out of the makeup room and went straight to Russell. I was quite looking forward to his opinion, so I asked, "What do you think?" Russell looked up at me, and I clearly saw a flicker of amazement in his eyes. He said, "Nude is very suitable for you. It makes your skin look even fairer." Hearing this, I was happy. However, at that moment, Abigail also came out. She deliberately spun around in front of Russell and asked coquettishly, "Russell, do I look good?" Russell just nodded and indifferently replied, "It's fine." The evaluation was really perfunctory.
Russell's POV My car slowly pulled up to the entrance. Abigail, seated in the passenger seat, was the first to get out. She had always been accustomed to making appearances in public and truly enjoyed the feeling of walking the red carpet. As soon as she got out, she greeted the media and reporters, her behavior instantly drawing everyone's attention. At the same time, Troy got out of the car, prepared the wheelchair, and then opened the door, carefully helping me onto the wheelchair. Next, Zoey also got out of the car. She stood behind me, holding the handles of the wheelchair, and pushed me towards the entrance of the banquet. As soon as we appeared, there were bursts of praise around us. "Wow, so beautiful!" "Yeah, and such a great figure. My goodness, look at that flowing hair." Abigail, hearing the voices, instinctively raised her neck, a standard smile on her face, and said to the crowd, "Thank you, thank you all." But in a short while, she realized something was amis
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
