Daisie lowered her gaze. “Zephir has indeed returned to Zlokova.”‘It’s been such a long time, and Colton still dislikes Zephir to the bones. At first, he didn’t like Nollace either, but it was only superficial. However, he really dislikes Zephir from the bottom of his heart.’“Since you’re now Nollace’s wife, don’t contact him that often. I’ve suppressed the news for you already.”Colton ended the call, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and summoned Leonardo into his office.Leonardo walked into the office. “Mr. Goldmann, are you looking for me?”He gave the order, “Send some men to keep an eye on Zephir Gosling, who recently returned to Zlokova. Don’t give him the opportunity to take advantage of Daisie’s relationship with Nollace.”‘Compared to Nollace, I don’t like Zephir even more. After all, Nollace will at least sincerely think about the consequences of his actions and how they will affect Daisie’s well-being. But Zephir is different. Lisa was expelled from school back then b
If Deedee really flicked the girl on purpose with a rubber band, there must be a reason behind that.Unexpectedly, Deedee blurted out, “I don’t like her.”Freyja was stunned and frowned. “You flicked her with a rubber band only because you don’t like her?”Deedee refuted loudly, “She’s the one who pushed me first!”“Deedee!” Freyja yelled at her abruptly as the atmosphere got tense in the room.When she subconsciously returned to her senses, Deedee had already run out of the room.Freyja went downstairs after her. “Deedee, don’t run—”Her stomach cramped all of a sudden, causing her to stop at the entryway. The nanny immediately stepped forward to support her. “Young lady!”Freyja gnashed her teeth, and beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead and cheeks. “Go after Deedee…”Colton received a call and hurried back to the villa.After listening to what had happened from the nanny, he walked into the bedroom with a sullen expression.Freyja was leaning against the head of t
Sandy pulled the chair over, sat down, and sneered. “What’s wrong? Has that aunt of yours started to despise you and kicked you out?”She finally found out where Freyja was living and thought about how to find them without letting Colton find out about her plan. She did not expect to run into Deedee, who had run away from the villa.Deedee shook her head timidly.Sandy stood up, walked in front of her, and pinched her chin. “Deedee, if you listened to me back then, why would I hit you willingly? And if it weren’t for Nollace Knowles, why would your parents leave you behind?“And that aunt of yours. Before we came here, I already told you that she’d ignore you as long as she got married to that man, but you just wouldn’t believe in what I said.”Deedee burst into tears and sobbed softly. “A-Aunty Freyja didn’t say that she doesn’t want to keep me anymore… It’s just that Aunty Freyja now has a baby.”Sandy was astonished, then squinted her eyes immediately. “Is what you said true?”
Freyja’s heart skipped a beat.Colton took her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. “I don’t want us to quarrel because of Deedee, and I don’t want you to think that I only care about the baby in your womb, and that’s why I’m forcing you to separate yourself from Deedee.“I know that she’s been staying with you since she was born, and you’ve carried out your duty as an aunt, so it’s not too late for you to make the decision after you’ve given birth to the baby.”He did not want to force her into making a choice now, so he was giving her more time to think about it.As long as Deedee lived under his nose and a nanny watched over her, he could rest assured.Freyja’s chest undulated vigorously, and tears welled up in her eyes immediately. “Colton, thank you.”Colton gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “So, don’t think about it anymore. I want you and our baby to be well. Promise me that you’ll keep having faith in me no matter what happens.”Co
Daisie clenched her phone tightly. “But it’s been so many days, and I’m really worried…”“Okay.” Nollace coaxed her softly and gently, “You have my word that I’ll definitely return. So all you need to do is wait for me at home obediently.”He hung up the call, and two men broke into the room the next second.Nollace turned around slowly, and a white light swept through the window as if it were daytime. As such, he could clearly see the gloomy faces of the people when they burst through the door.Bear caressed the tip of the knife with his fingertips and grinned. “Mr. Knowles, how have you been?”The greeting sounded like a slash that could split the ocean and lift the waves.Nollace did not move, and a beam of white light was suddenly pointed at his face as he looked eerily calm. “It’s rumored that you’re a very skilled man, Mr. Bear. Since you’ve only brought one man with you, you must be confident you’ll be able to take me down here.”Among the men who worked under Donald, Bea
Nollace had seen through Bear’s ways. “Rumor has it that you don’t like to take your opponent down or kill them in one move because there’s no sense of accomplishment. You like to fool around with them, and you’ll deprive them of their last hope of survival when they’re exhausted,“So the calmer I am, the less you’ll get to enjoy the pleasure of hunting your prey in this fight. That’s why you won’t let me die so soon.”Bear stood up, took off his shirt, and attacked him with his knife. “You’re still not my match when it comes to a fistfight!”Nollace defended himself with his bare hands, avoiding the knife’s tip and Bear’s attack, while the other man snuck behind him. He immediately kicked the table forward to block Bear’s legs, turned around, grabbed the man’s wrist, and folded his arm downward, dislocating his shoulder.Bear kicked the table away and rushed toward him.Nollace pulled the man forward and used his body to block Bear’s attack, and the tip of his knife stabbed into
Nollace gnashed his teeth, clasped Bear mercilessly while in excruciating pain, and lifted his hand. The knife handle slashed across the hand, and blood gushed out of the wound, making it almost impossible to distinguish the flesh from the bloody mess.Bear was still clinging to him, not letting go.Edison shouted, “Help him!”Bear laughed ferociously, grabbed Nollace, and turned around, and the police’s bullets hit Bear on his back.He roared loudly, dragged Nollace, who had no time to escape his grasp, and fell straight into the sea.Edison rushed out. “Mr. Knowles!!!”The huge waves instantly covered the two silhouettes, and they were nowhere to be seen in the waves.Early in the morning, at the Seaview Villa…Colton came out of the bathroom when his phone rang. He took a glance at Freyja, who was still sleeping, and walked over to pick up the call.The other party said something to him, and Colton’s face dimmed instantly. “What did you just say!?”The abrupt rise of voice
The police rented a boat from a nearby fisherman to salvage the corpse ashore, brought forensics to the scene for identification and evidence collection, and bagged the body.Edison fought through the crowd and frowned. “Has the identity of the body been confirmed?”The detective turned to look at him. “It’s Bear.”Edison was startled as the zipper of the body bag was slowly pulled down. That pale and slightly swollen face was indeed Bear’s.‘Bear has really died.’The detective got up and said earnestly, “We’ve only found the suspect’s body so far, but we won’t give up on the search and rescue.”Edison nodded and sent the text message to Colton.…As soon as Colton arrived at the company, he received a text message from Edison saying that Bear’s body had been recovered, but Nollace’s whereabouts were still unknown.He placed the phone on the desk, leaned back in the chair, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and muttered to himself, “He should still be alive... right?”‘He’d bett
