Fred continued to say, "I'm not as easy to deal with as he is..."Cecilia's dress was pulled down. Her nude body was revealed to Fred.He quickly stood up before lifting her and pushed her face down on the table. He then violently performed the sexual act......There were strong winds and heavy rain in Ventropolis again, cleaning everything.In Mistral Monastery, Kevin thought, 'I'd never imagined that one day Mr. Jardin would appear in such a place.'He's sitting on the pew praying like a devout believer... And he's doing all this for Madelyn Jent!'To Kevin, Zach should be doing great things, like controlling the world's economic lifelines. He should not be stooping to such lowly, status-dropping actions for a woman.Madelyn had been here before, too.At that time, Ethan was barely alive. Kevin thought he would not live much longer, but he surprised Kevin. Later, he even woke up from his coma...When Ethan was receiving treatment at the hospital, Madelyn came here to pray
Kevin did not know what to say. He thought, 'We've chosen this path, and there's no turning back.'The determination Zach once had to hurt Madelyn was now replaced by deep remorse for everything he had done...As the sky darkened, the grand church hall remained pristine and well-lit. The fire of burning candles inside the hall swayed due to the wind. The gloomy weather outside hinted at an impending storm.Zach was sitting on the pew with his body straight, head bowed, and eyes closed in prayer.After Kevin finished his last phone call, he walked into the hall, "Mr. Jardin, the hospital just called. Ms. Jent's surgery will be completed soon. We should go back now."Zach opened his eyes. His strong gaze was less fierce than before, with an addition of calmness, "What time is it now?"Kevin responded, "It's already eight in the evening. Once we arrive at the hospital, her surgery should be close to completion."Zach and Kevin then walked out of the hall.There were two people tha
Lana was startled when she heard Kai talking in his sleep. She saw him stretch his hand as if to grab something. Lana stood at the side quietly as she watched him. She had never seen him in such a vulnerable state before. Her eyes were filled with an indiscernible emotion.It seemed like Lana had an inner conflict. She could not help but clench her fists on both sides of her body. In the end, she heartlessly prepared to leave.Just as she turned around, Lana's thin wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force. With a pull, she fell into Kai's embrace.When he felt the weight on his body, he opened his eyes and saw the panicked Lana. He quickly hid the coldness in his eyes and playfully raised his almond-shaped eyes, "What were you trying to do while I was asleep?""Don't talk nonsense. I didn't do anything. Let go of me." Lana tried to get up from him. But her waist was then grabbed by his hand. She could not move."You threw yourself into my arms, and you want to run away now? Hu
Lana's expression suddenly changed. She did not expect Kai to say these things to her. She suppressed her dissatisfaction. As soon as he finished applying the medication, she immediately lowered her shirt and eagerly distanced herself from him."To me, he's great." Lana looked down at her feet. "Please keep the affair between us a secret." Her voice was soft because she was talking about something shameful and unethical.She continued, "As your elder, I hope you can also control your feelings and start looking for a girl who likes you."You said this would be the last time. Let's not contact each other again."After she said that, she quickly ran out of the resting room, grabbed her bag from the couch, and left the office without looking back. She then pressed the elevator button to go down before getting into the elevator.Lana drove to the hospital today. Her shirt still carried a strong, pungent scent of the muscle rub.She did not drive home directly. Instead, she went to a h
Lana said, "I-I love you. My love for you isn't tainted at all."A hint of pain flashed past Andrew's eyes. He turned his head to look at the ceiling. His voice was cold, "You're tainted anyway!"If you have an ounce of self-respect left, you should sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. Lana Paine, you make me sick."Lana cried, "Andrew... I'm not dirty at all... I won't do it again. Can you please give me one more chance? Andrew..."Andrew took something that was sealed in a plastic bag from the side and threw it in front of her. He said, "What else do you have to say now? I've never had sex with you. Whose child are you bearing?"The scars on his face from the burn had been smoothed out through medical treatment. His appearance had returned to his elegant, gentle look from the past.He was very good-looking. When they were still in school, Andrew was the heartthrob of the finance major.He was still handsome even now.Lana covered her chest as she felt a pain in her
Andrew said, "Now, you can continue to be with him. No one will stop you anymore."Right at that moment, Andrew, who was sitting on the bed, saw a message on his phone, "Since he's here now, you can leave with him tonight. This villa will be yours tomorrow."Andrew paused and said, "Why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for me to force you out?"Lana completely collapsed on the ground. The tears on her face had dried. Her eyes appeared empty, with redness around them.In the end, she was dragged out by the bodyguards.Not far from the entrance, there was a car with its high beams still on. When the doors were opened and Lana was thrown out, Kai quickly got out of the car and caught her from behind.Lana finally returned to her senses when she saw the doors close tightly. She rushed forward to pound on the door, "Let me in, Andrew! I was wrong. I really was... Don't make me leave Andrew!"Kai's gaze was intense as he stared at Lana, who was crying hysterically. He wanted to lif
The caregiver walked out of the cloakroom and brought the ring box to Andrew, "Mr. Stewart, should we take this with us?"Andrew was looking downstairs at Lana, who was curled up. He emotionlessly averted his gaze and looked at the ring held by the caregiver.He was lost in his thoughts, 'This ring was chosen by the both of us when we got married. I still remember when I threw this ring away when we argued; Lana cried while searching for it all night downstairs when, in actuality, it was still with me. I didn't throw it away...'Now, my existence is a burden to everyone. She still has other opportunities. She can still find a man who'll treat her well. She doesn't need to waste her time on me.'Andrew covered his mouth with a blue handkerchief and coughed a few times. When he removed it, the handkerchief was stained with red blood.The caregiver anxiously said, "This is the third time you've coughed up blood... If..."Andrew waved his hand to stop her from continuing, "I don't ha
Lana stumbled and felt a shooting pain in her belly. Then, a warm rush of blood flowed beneath her. Kai rushed to help her up, concern filling his voice, "Lana, are you okay?"Brushing Kai off with a palpable sense of disdain, Lana looked disturbed. She said, "I need to find Andrew. I have to go to him."Kai watched Lana rush away like a madwoman, heedless of the bloodstains trailing her, tumbling as she chased after someone who had long vanished, "I won't divorce you, Andrew. Don't leave me! I can't live without you. What will I do if you leave me?"Kai stared at Lana's retreating figure, questioning the morality of his own actions for the first time. He stepped forward, knocked her unconscious with a swift palm strike, then carried her to his car and sped off to the hospital.Lana's pungent scent made it easy to be found in the dark night. Kai speculated that her clothes were soaked with an amount of blood that clearly was not menstrual. His grip on the steering wheel tightened a
