Third Person's POV
"I just have to vent!" Daria sniffed, "Ariana's been so upset these days that her heart's been acting up. I think we should find a time to get her a new heart."
Jordan pursed his lips, "Zoey's got Russell protecting her now. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with her."
Daria's face twisted, "It's not easy, but we have to find a way. Otherwise, what's the point of keeping her around? I can't even see my real daughter!"
Jordan took out a cigarette and lit it, "Alright, the Keller family has never given up looking for their real daughter. Dealing with Zoey sooner can also get rid of this potential threat."
Daria's eyes spun, "Then hurry up and take care of this."
Jordan nodded, "Okay."
"What about Ariana now?"
Jordan stubbed out his cigarette, "We'll take a trip to the psychiatric hospital."
Daria paused, seemingly understanding Jordan's intention, and then nodded.
The next day.
Arian
Third Person's POVAt that moment, Jordan and Daria had just settled Ariana in.Jordan said confidently, "Ariana, don't worry. In less than two days, Zoey will withdraw the charges and let you out."Daria whispered, "Matteo has been hidden. Zoey will definitely not find him."Ariana frowned, "Then hurry up and find her to make her withdraw the charges. I can't stand this place for even a second!"Daria clicked her tongue, "We have to let her worry for two days, right? And when we go to her, we must check if she has any recording devices. She's too cunning."Jordan nodded, "That's true, Ariana. You'll have to bear with it for now. We will definitely get you out of here as soon as possible. Just keep quiet and don't talk much. Act depressed, and no one will bother you."Ariana looked at the woman tied to the other bed, her eyes full of disgust, "Hurry up!"Jordan and Daria nodded repeatedly.Just then, Jordan's phone rang.
Zoey's POV"I didn't hide him!"Just then, Troy wheeled Russell over.Daria took two steps back. She still had some trepidation towards Russell, even though he was now disabled.But that innate Alpha aura was still intimidating."If it's found out that Sir Harmon was hidden by you, then the Harmon family will have to start worrying about their situation." Russell's voice was deep and forceful.Jordan put his arm around Daria's waist, trying to act calm, and said, "Fine!"It wasn't long before all the police officers, with their police dogs, came out from the Harmon's villa, their faces looking quite grim.The officer who had the search warrant shook his head at me and said, "We didn't find Sir Harmon."Upon hearing this, Daria immediately changed her attitude, pointing at me and shouting, "I'm going to sue you for maliciously fabricating facts right now! How cou
Zoey's POVI shook him off and said, "Once Matteo wakes up, you'll all be arrested!"Following the normal procedure, the Harmon couple was taken to the police station for statements, while Matteo was sent to the hospital for a full examination.Russell, looking at me sitting by the bedside, put his hand on my shoulder and comforted me, "Zoey, Sir Harmon will be fine."I looked at Matteo, who was pale and weak on the bed, and nodded.But I knew that after being checked in the hospital, it was found that the lack of oxygen had caused minor brain damage, and this kind of damage was irreversible.As for what kind of sequelae the brain damage would cause, we would have to wait until Matteo woke up to know.In my past life, Matteo died of a sudden heart attack, and I never thought that it was Ariana who did it.It wasn't until Ariana was dying that she told me that Matteo was kill
Russell's POV"She's not here.""Can I come in?"I refused, "No, we'll talk in the study."I wheeled myself towards the study, and Abigail tried to help push the wheelchair, but I rejected her again.Abigail followed behind me.Once inside the study, I went to the desk and gestured for Abigail to sit on the sofa, saying, "Sit down."Abigail nodded and took a seat on the sofa."Go ahead. Tell me what happened."Abigail sniffed and said, "Yesterday, while having dinner at Madox's old mansion, I got a call from my assistant saying the film crew needed to add some scenes. But not long after I drove away, I felt like I was being followed. I parked at the company entrance, and as soon as I got out of the car, someone covered my mouth and nose. I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up, I was at Serene Manor and saw you all. I have no idea who kidnapped and hit m
Third Person's POVJordan glanced at Matteo who was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes devoid of any warmth.He pointed at Zoey, "If anything happens to Matteo, Zoey, it's all your fault! Daria, let's go!"They turned and left, only to let out a sigh of relief once they were in the elevator.Daria whispered, "Did Matteo really suffer brain damage?"Jordan nodded, "My classmate heard it himself, so it's true. Judging by Zoey's angry look just now, you can tell something's definitely wrong with Matteo. I hope he can't remember the maids forcing him into the basement."Daria furrowed her brows, "What if he does remember?"Jordan gritted his teeth, "Then it depends on whether he values our father-son relationship."Daria linked her arm through Jordan's, "Honey, I mean, what if Matteo doesn't care about the father-son bond, what then?"Jordan pursed his lips, not sp
Zoey's POVRussell raised an eyebrow, saying goodbye. He then turned off the camera, closed his laptop, and pushed it aside."Made me a sandwich?" Russell looked at me with deep eyes.His gaze was filled with a unique sense of possession and intense emotion.I placed the tray in front of him and sat on his lap.As his mate, this kind of intimate contact filled my heart with peace.I asked, "Try some?"Russell took a bite of the sandwich and said, "Delicious."In no time, he finished it.I asked, "Are you full?"Russell's hand caressed my waist as he said, "What if I'm not full?""I can make you more," I said, preparing to get up.But Russell's hands tightly held my waist, showing the strong possessiveness of a werewolf, "I don't want to eat anymore."I looked at his handsome face in front of me growing larger,
Third Person's POVAbigail didn't expect that Zoey could identify the components of the pill just by smelling it, and she wondered, 'Does Zoey specialize in medical skills?'Still not giving up, Abigail continued to argue, "My assistant gave it to me. He said it's very good for health...""Abigail, do you think we can't discover your self-directed drama? Do you think the deleted surveillance can't be restored?"Abigail's pupils suddenly shrank.Russell said, "The guests will be here soon. Let's go to the living room. Emilee, take her downstairs."Emilee nodded, "Yes, Mr. Madox."Zoey pushed Russell in the elevator to go downstairs, while Emilee grabbed the back of Abigail's collar and pushed her down the stairs.When they reached the last step, Abigail saw Braylen and Aubrie sitting on the sofa in the living room, both filled with anger and confusion.Abigail cr
Zoey's POVIt was nearing two in the morning, and the moonlight poured in like water through the window.I nestled in Russell's arms, noticing his heartbeat was a bit fast, which made me frown."Why is your heart beating so fast? Are you alright?"Russell chuckled, and his arm around my waist tightened a bit more, "Because you're in my arms."I smiled, "Then I should stay away from you, or else I'm afraid you'll get heart disease over time."As I said this, I pretended to wriggle out of his embrace.But Russell held me even tighter, "No way. I'd rather get heart disease than suffer from lovesickness."I couldn't help but laugh, "How come you're so good at sweet-talking? Did you say this to someone else before?""No, I've only ever said this to you.""I don't believe you. You're so smooth. You must have said to many women.""Smooth?"
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
