In an abandoned old factory on the outskirts of the city, Summer was still curled up unconscious on the ground. A man with short build was just standing beside, keeping an eye on her. … The next morning Solomon was the first to get up. Upon returning from a morning jog, he walked in when he saw the door of Summer’s room wide open. The room was neat and clean, and the quilt was neatly folded on the bed. He wondered if she did not come home last night or that she had gone out again after coming home. Daisy had made breakfast and brought it to the table. “Has Summer not come back yet?” “I will call Mommy.” Charlotte skipped away to get the phone. She held the phone and made the call. Seconds later, she had a frustrated look on her face, telling them that her mom’s phone was turned off. So she called her dad. “You are up so early, sweetie?” Mark’s gentle voice came through electromagnetic waves. “Daddy, you didn’t take me along when you took Mommy out to have fun yester
Jazz did not know what had happened during this period. He fell into silence after hearing what Mark said. He could not understand why the father he always respected had become like this. But at the same time, he felt sorry for Summer, who had gone through many trials four years ago and was now having a new life. Now he finally understood why Mark was against calling the police, as their father was most likely the person who abducted Summer. Mark had quietly sent out his men to find Summer. So, too, did Jazz. Mark did not expect that Ronald would go to such extremes and do such a crazy thing. His face was sullen. He did not return to the office as he was looking for Summer and Ronald. He did not tell Solomon and Daisy about Summer’s abduction because he did not want them to be worried. He had got to act fast. All he could do was to act fast. Ronald’s purpose was obvious, which was to make her miscarry, and then to extract the bone marrow. There was no time to waste; Ma
She gritted her teeth, and placed the phone beneath her just like that. With her back facing the two of them, she turned it on. The phone had been in silent mode all the time. She scrambled to open the message box. The last text message was sent to her by Mark, and the next one was from Solomon. So the two messages were next to each other. The voice of conversation and footsteps were approaching behind her. She glanced at the phone with the corner of her eyes as she opened a message box to type a message. She did not realize that she had not opened Mark’s message but Solomon’s. While paying attention to the sound behind her, she quickly tapped on the screen with her fingers, cautiously, not making the slightest sound. ‘Mark, Ronald abducted me. He wants to take away my baby in the womb and then extract my bone marrow. The doctor is on the way. I am in a—’ Before she could finish composing the message, she heard footsteps behind her. A shadow shrouded her. Obviously, Ronald wa
Solomon was drinking tea when he received a text message. When he opened the message and read it, he nearly dropped the teacup to the floor. Daisy rarely saw this reaction of his, and she asked in surprise, “What is wrong?” “Nothing, you take Charlotte. I will go out for a while.” Solomon did not tell Daisy the truth because he did not want to frighten her. “What are you going out for?” “Buy chess.” Solomon was already out of her sight as soon as his voice trailed off. Daisy frowned snappishly and mumbled to herself, “Goddamnit old man.” Solomon called Mark, but could not get through. He hurried over to his apartment, and then his office, but Mark was not there. He was like a car on hot bricks, but he did not dare to call Summer. If Summer could use her phone, she would call Mark and not send text messages. He was afraid that Ronald would harm Summer if he called her. Turning around, he got into a taxi. He clenched his fists as the taxi headed in a direction. Ronal
How she wished she could kill him and chop him into pieces, but at the same time, she could not help herself from loving him. Samantha’s leukemia had gotten worse. It would do her no good by harassing Samantha at the hospital. Instead, it would make Ronald feel annoyed with her. As Samantha’s condition was getting worse, Yvette wanted to see how she could still keep the man by her side. Sometimes you do not need to get involved personally to have your revenge. Like in this situation, Yvette just needed to stand on the sidelines and watch them suffer. Samantha would not be her match, and victory would belong to her, eventually. Leukemia was nasty, but worked to her advantage in this case. Raine said nothing as she had little feeling for her biological mother, who existed in name only. ‘Mark, hurry up! Hurry up!’ Summer kept calling out in her mind, her back was tightly pressed against the pillar behind her. “Is the drug ready? Feed her the abortion drug.” Ronald said, his
She was cold, freezing, even her teeth were chattering uncontrollably. Ronald urged the doctor to extract the bone marrow. This was his only chance, and he did not want to squander it. The unfeeling machine was there, and the doctor started to make preparations. Everything was in place after a while. The doctor was about to pierce a sharp needle into her body when the door of the factory was forced open and Mark and Jazz stormed in. At that moment, Ronald looked frail, as he knew that his last chance was gone. The blood on Summer’s lower body pierced into Mark’s eyes like knives. A murderous look burst out of his grim eyes as Mark lunged at Ronald and punched him non-stop. He wanted to kill him. He could not care less who Ronald was. He just wanted to kill him as his inner voice screamed out loud inside him. A bloodthirsty look flickered in his eyes. Men in suits came to Ronald’s rescue, but Mark beat them all down to the ground. Ronald was also beaten black and blue with
As the chaotic gang fight raged on, someone knocked over a barrel of fuel, and his lighter dropped to the ground and broke apart. A spark ignited a fire, which quickly developed into a raging flame that engulfed the factory, and choking black smoke filled the air. “Mark, it is going to blow. Get Summer out of here!” Jazz shouted. Mark was close to the back door. He carried Summer in his arms and escaped, while calling the hospital with a phone in his hand. Jazz spun around and ran out, but fire and thick black smoke were about to block the backdoor escape route. He suddenly hesitated and then turned back in. Ronald sat on the ground, his lower body had caught fire. He was wailing in pain but could not move. Jazz pulled Ronald over and brought him out of the factory. There was a look of hurt and mockery on his face as Jazz wished he could just leave Ronald to die in the fire. They escaped from the burning abandoned factory. Not long after they emerged, they heard an explos
“It is close to lunch time now yet he hasn’t come home. Where did the old man go?” Daisy mumbled to herself while feeding Charlotte. “Grandma, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet? He said he would bring me a little cake.” Charlotte was looking around. Daisy took out her cell phone and was about to call Solomon when her cell phone rang. “Where have you gone, old man?” But it was not Solomon, but a female voice that sounded at the other end of the phone. The voice could not be more familiar, as it belonged to Samantha. “Is this Mrs. Hart?” “Why is it you who answer? Where is that old man of mine?” “Are you talking about Mr. Hart? Ronald has abducted Summer and wanted her to get an abortion, and then donate bone marrow. Now your husband is taking me hostage to demand Ronald to release Summer. We are on the hospital rooftop…” Daisy’s face turned pale, and she almost fainted upon hearing this, her chest heaving and her hand holding the phone shivered. Ronald abducted Summer and
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
