Juneau was standing at the defendant's table to answer the judge's questions. He was trying to defend himself by saying that Lisa's death was just a result of his negligence.After all, he was not the one who had done it. Instead, he had paid off the hospital's security guards, and it meant he did not kill Lisa directly.Even if he needed to be held responsible for Lisa's death, he would only need to serve two or three years in prison in Haniston. With his team of lawyers, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be released in court.Juneau and Elder Master Livingston were both very confident. However, Xavi, who was sitting at the side, had a cold expression on his face. He touched his watch, and his jaw was tightly set. Apparently, he was waiting for something.Just as the judge was about to deliver the verdict, someone in the gallery shouted, "Objection!"Everyone turned their heads around to see a pair of couples. The woman was bound to a wheelchair while her husband was standing b
Elder Master Livingston’s veins pulsed as he growled, “He’s your brother!”Xavi looked his father straight in the eyes. He handed the folder to Patterson and did not avert his gaze as he said, “He’s your son. Am I not your son too?”Elder Master Livingston was stunned.“It has always been me who helped my brother. Has he ever done anything for me? Even if it's just one small thing? What you care about is the gains of the Livingstons, and I'm the same. I never thought that I'm any inferior to my big brother, but you just care about my big brother. Have you ever cared about my efforts?” Xavi was gnashing his teeth as he fell out with his father in the courtroom. He pointed at Juneau and continued. “You are well aware of everything he has done, and I have cleaned up his messes more than I can count. What would you do if I were the one standing over there?”As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Master Livingston gave him a slap across his face so hard that his face turned sideways,
“The kidnapping video” was fake. Not only had he sent it to Xavi, but he had also sent it to Elder Master Livingston.In other words, Xavi had become the last person who had interacted with Nollace. If Nollace was abducted or something happened to him, Xavi would become the first suspect. However, Elder Master Livingston was different. Nollace's threat was useless to him. He only cared about his eldest son, so he wouldn't care if Xavi was "threatened".Therefore, this recording became the flashpoint that made Xavi decide to bring his brother down. Honestly, if Elder Master Livingston had shown even the slightest sign of concern when Xavi was being "threatened," Xavi wouldn't have made up his mind, and Nollace’s plan wouldn't have worked.At Yaramoor’s Sunrise Hotel…Zanovia grabbed her secretary by his collar and shouted, “How is that possible? Why is Uncle Xavi doing that!?”Her secretary couldn't do anything but persuade her to calm down and accept the fact,. “Miss, this is
Maggie grabbed her hand away, broke her own hand free, and lifted her gaze. “Don’t we have you to thank for all this, Ms. Livingston?”Zenovia froze in place, and her blood was drained away from her cheeks until they gradually paled and dimmed.Maggie looked at her. “You’re too bumptious and presumptuous. All Young Master Knowles wants is to make it clear to you that he can drag the Livingstons down without the help of any foreign power.“And he doesn’t need to get rid of the Livingstons completely. All he needs to do is replace the leader of the Livingstons, which is more than enough to change everything. Now that Mr. Livingston is going to prison, the position of the leader of the Livingstons has been passed on. The vice president is in power now and has the people's support. At least half of your and your father’s power in the Livingstons has been taken away by your uncle. How does that feel?”Zenovia covered her forehead and shouted hysterically, “I refuse to believe it! You’re
Nollace lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.That was what he had been thinking about day and night.Daisie wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two hugged and caressed each other under the begonia tree.The two figures were inseparable until the moment the two lips separated.Daisie lowered her gaze, her eyelashes flickered, and the emotions that surged from the bottom of her eyes rippled. “We’ve been apart for half a month.”He gave off a chuckle, and his lips landed on her forehead this time around. “Yeah, it’s been half a month.”She whispered, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”Nollace rubbed his fingers over her lips and whispered, “Yes.”He approached her, and she was only inches away from him. “You haven’t been by my side, and that made me miss you so much that I actually dreamed of you.”Daisie’s cheeks turned warm. She avoided his gaze and said in a stern voice, “That level of glibness.”But she could not help but wonder. “What did you dream
Freyja’s back stiffened, and the empathy that had just sprouted in her heart was immediately strangled to death by her mother’s words.Brandon was also stunned. He wanted to pull Sandy away but was pushed aside by her. She looked extremely morbid as she raised her voice hysterically. “Fey, you’re my only hope now! You can’t leave me behind! I’m your mother!”The sound of a slap resounded in the bedroom.Freyja was not able to react to the abrupt movement at all, and all she saw was Sandy falling onto the bed.The scene was immediately followed by Brandon’s wrath. “Haven’t you had enough!?”Sandy covered her cheeks, froze on the bed, and did not utter a single word.Brandon took a deep breath. “What did you promise me? You promised that you’d get along with Fey. Were you lying to me!?”With his bloodshot eyes, he gnashed his teeth. “You’ve killed your son, is that still not enough for you to learn a lesson? And now you’re planning to reach out to your daughter? What’s the power a
Only Daisie and Nollace were left in the living room. Daisie probed upstairs. “Is Mr. Knowles really angry?”Nollace stood up. “Don’t worry. My mother can handle it.”He stopped, reached out, and took her into his arms.Daisie was stunned and looked up at him. “What are you doing?”With his fingertips, he tucked the hair that was hanging over her forehead to the back of her ear. “Would you like to go back to my room?”She looked away subconsciously, feeling extremely nervous. “What will we do after we go back into your room?”Nollace lowered his head and bit her ear gently. “I want to stay with you.”She felt an electric jolt up her spine, her cheeks felt flushed and warm, and she swallowed her saliva with difficulty. “Aren’t I staying with you now?”“This is different.” He ran his finger over her lips. “I want to kiss you, but if you’re not afraid of being seen...”Daisie covered his mouth with her palm, her ears were on the brink of lighting on fire, and she whispered, “Okay
The next day, Daisie arrived at the college with no energy.She had slept in Nollace’s room throughout the whole afternoon yesterday. Thus, she was an insomniac when she returned to the villa in the evening and could not fall asleep until five in the morning.She could not help but take out a small mirror and take a look at her own reflection in the mirror. Her eye bags and dark circles were that close to turning her into a panda.Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder.She turned her head in fright and was stunned. “Colton?”Colton crossed his arms and looked at her dark circles. “Did you go out and become a thief last night?”“You’re the thief here, sneaking up on me like that.” Daisie turned her face away and explained herself with a lie. “I drank too much coffee and couldn’t sleep last night.”“Where’s Freyja?”Daisie paused for a split second and stared at him with a puzzled expression. “Why would you want to know that?”“It’s nothing.” Colton looked away with an un
