Waylon asked, “What is it?” Colton said, resting his chin on his palm, “We just need to make him busy.”At the Azoor Villa…The faint light in the courtyard was reflected through the cracks in the curtains. The bedroom was darkly lit with a warm atmosphere.Violet looked toward the outside and fell into thought.Jackie wrapped his arm around her and hugged her from the back. He rested his chin on her shoulder and asked, “Did you regret it?”She lowered her head and answered, “There’s nothing for me to regret about.”She did not know how to describe her feelings right now. It was both complicated and strange, but one thing she was certain about was that she did not regret it.It was like a dream. In the dream, her bones and organs were all extracted from her body. There was both the paradox of being different and the trance of being awake.“You’re blaming yourself,” Jackie said as he collected the strands of hair stuck to her neck. He then landed a few light kisses on her and
Colton crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, “Do the Knowles have anything to do with you? Besides, I'm not that free.”Daisie pressed her lips tightly. Just when she was about to say something, Waylon put his hand on her shoulders and said, “Daisie, Uncle Jackie, and Aunt Violet have gotten back together, so I think it’s about time for us to leave Octavia.”He successfully distracted Daisie, and she scratched her cheek. “Are we going back today?”“Nope. We’re going back tomorrow,” he replied.“Alright, then. I should seize the chance and say goodbye to Aunt Violet,” Daisie said as she turned around to go back into the house.Waylon was still worried about it and turned his head to look at Colton. “Are you sure no one is going to know about it?”Colton was very confident in his skills. “Nope. Nobody is going to know about it. Even if they find something, the ID will show that the hacker is located in Octavia. We will already be in Bassburgh at that time, so no one is g
Jackie smiled. “We can have one ourselves.”The smile on Violet’s face froze as she smacked his hand away. “Go have your own baby!”Jackie chuckled and turned around to catch up to her.Two hours later, the plane landed at Bassburgh Airport.Quincy had been waiting for them at the entrance. When he saw the three rugrats coming out of the gate with their baggage, he opened the trunk and carried the luggage to the car for them.“Did you three enjoy yourselves in Octavia?”Daisie sat on the passenger seat and asked, “Where are Dad and Mom?”Quincy put on the seatbelt and replied, “Mr. and Mrs. Goldmann have spent so much time with you in Octavia, so of course, they're busy now.”When Daisie was about to say something, she noticed a purplish bruise on his neck despite his effort to cover it with the collar of his shirt. “Uncle Quincy, who bit your neck?”Waylon and Colton turned their heads to look at Quincy.Quincy was stumped and replied stiffly, “Well, I sprained my neck.”“R
Saydie placed the documents on the desk and asked after a while, “Does it look bad?”Maisie sneered. “Why doesn’t it look good? The most important thing is that you like it. You’re not wearing a skirt only to let others admire you. Women should only dress up to please themselves, not others.”After putting on a skirt, Saydie looked a little more feminine.Her appearance had always been above average, she had strong facial features, and a hint of heroic and assertive pride could be sensed coming through her eyes. She looked quite handsome when she dressed up as a man.Now that she had kept her hair at a longer length and worn a skirt, she was giving off a different vibe.As for why Saydie had suddenly undergone such a change, Maisie had seen through it but did not expose her. Thus, she did not ask much.After submitting the documents, Saydie left the office and ran into Quincy in the corridor.Quincy looked up, saw Saydie, and was slightly surprised. He was stunned for a few seco
‘After all, a man will surely be able to sense it when a woman has a thing for him.‘And if a man were to be a master at distinguishing b*tches, he’d definitely have a more critical and lethal vision than a woman who’s a pro at distinguishing scumbags.‘I’ve been by Mr. Goldmann’s side for such a long time, and I’ve seen all sorts of coquettish women. Even when it came down to Willow back then, I wouldn’t say that I had a good impression of her. It was just that I thought she was Mr. Goldmann’s savior. That was why I showed her some respect reluctantly.‘But Saydie is truly not pretending. Apart from being a pure and simple woman, she’s brutally honest too. There’s nothing that she wouldn’t say.‘If this is the case, I believe I’ve never laid a finger on her. After all, I was so drunk that I was powerless, but Saydie might have misunderstood the meaning behind sleeping together.’“Let me ask you something. Did you sleep with me the other night?”Saydie nodded.Quincy looked stra
‘Does it mean that Zephir stands no chance already?’At Bassburgh, at the Goldmann mansion…Nolan summoned Colton to the study, and the latter pushed open the door. “Dad, are you looking for me?”Nolan turned the laptop toward him and went straight to the point. “Are you the one behind what happened to the Knowles?”Colton knew that he could not hide it from his father, so he admitted it right off the bat, “Yes.”“If you want to do something, at least do it cleanly.” He closed the lid of his laptop but was not angry. “I’ll have to clean the mess for you when it’s been discovered.”His son had hacked somebody else’s company’s system. Although he did not do anything terribly wrong, and the other party did not suffer any loss, Tristan had asked him to investigate the issue. He had tracked it back to his son’s doing, making it difficult for him to make it clear to the Knowles.Colton was momentarily stunned and sounded very sure. “It’s impossible for them to be able to track me down
Quincy was momentarily stunned but quickly came back to his senses. “What are you...”Saydie answered his question solemnly, “I’m fighting.”When the teenage girl saw that someone had come, she took the opportunity to push Saydie away and flee the scene with the others.Saydie was about to catch up to them, but Quincy stopped her. “What are you doing?”Upon seeing that he was blocking her way, Saydie’s expression dimmed. “Get out of my way!”She seemed really angry.Quincy took a deep breath. “No, did they do something to offend you? You’re an adult. How can you follow them—”Before he could even finish the sentence, the male colleague had already walked over cautiously. “Ms. Quinn, forget it. I don’t think they will dare to bully my sister anymore.”The girl behind him was only 16 years old, and her eyes looked bloodshot as if she had just cried. Her cheeks still looked flushed and puffy, and her skirt was dirty as if it had been trampled on.Quincy realized something and sud
Colton was about to reply to the other party when the door was suddenly pushed open. Thus, he closed the lid of his laptop and raised his head. “Mom?”Maisie was in a sweater. She happened to go downstairs to pour herself a glass of water, but she saw that the light in Colton’s room was still on, so she came to take a look. “It’s already so late. Why haven’t you gone to bed?”“I... I was studying the subjects for the next semester in advance.”Maisie felt helpless. It was a good thing that her son liked studying so much, but staying up so late would affect his health. “It’s already one in the morning. You need to rest early.”He nodded. “Yes, Mom.”Meanwhile, on the other end of the black chatbox…The other party had stopped replying to him, so Nollace placed the laptop aside.He got up, walked up to the window, looked at the view outside the window, and got lost in his thoughts.Knowing that the other party was someone who knew him, he might be the main target of the prank, an
