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
Freyja gnashed her teeth. “Mother, Deedee is innocent! You shouldn’t treat her like this!”“Innocent?” Sandy sneered and lifted her chin with her cigarette holder. “That b*tch gave up her own life just to give birth to this useless piece of cr*p. She didn’t even inherit the slightest shrewdness from her father. Who’s to blame for that?”Freyja was trembling with anger. “You’ve already forced her father to his death! Do you plan to push his only daughter in the same direction too?”Sandy slapped her ferociously.The half of her face that turned away looked extremely discomposed.“Shut your mouth!” Sandy’s expression looked horrifying. “Nollace Knowles is the one who killed Ken!”Freyja raised her head and laughed out loud, ignoring her swollen cheek. “You’ve completely lost your sanity. You keep saying that Nollace is the person who killed Ken, but it’s just your way of comforting yourself.““Presumptuous!” Sandy grabbed Freyja’s hair. “You b*tch! How dare you piss me off right h
Sandy was happy when she saw how devastated Freyja was. “Am I wrong? Would the Goldmanns be fine with you bringing her along? Fey, you need to know your place.”She raised Freyja’s chin as if she was going to crush her jaw, her eyes filled with hatred. “Your brother is dead, so why do you get to be happy? You were born to help your brother, so you should just be a good doormat. Why did you have to work with that Knowles b*stard and kill your brother!”Sandy shoved her away. Freyja fell but protected her belly.Sandy looked down at her. “But I’m giving you a chance. If you want to save Deedee, you have to sacrifice the one in your womb.”Freyja’s pupils shrunk, and she looked pale. “What did you say!?”“Do you think I will let you marry into the Goldmann family? Not a chance!” She smirked while looking maniacal. “If it weren’t because of Nollace, you would already be Donald’s. I owe him one, but I can’t pay him back, so I have to offer my only daughter.”She shuddered. “Have you
Freyja looked up at Colton’s back. He was so near yet felt so far away. Maybe they were a mistake from the beginning.She was a selfish woman who didn’t deserve his love.Colton turned around and said to the bodyguard, “Send the child to the hospital.”Sandy was stunned because she couldn’t believe it. “What!? You care more for a child from someone else—”“In your eyes, someone else’s child doesn’t deserve to live. Not even your own daughter deserved that. If you look down on women so much, I wonder why your mother didn’t strangle you when you were born.”Colton looked at Sandy with a blank expression. Sandy looked awkward, and her breathing quickened, but she couldn’t say a word. Colton carried Freyja and turned around. “Mrs. Pruitt, this is the end of your good life.”The bodyguard grabbed her while she struggled and screamed, “Freyja Pruitt! You’ll never be happy! Never in a million years!”Freyja shuddered in Colton’s arms, and her eyes lost their luster.…Deedee was
Freyja knew that from the beginning. She had let her feelings take over during that drunken night. Maybe it was just as her mother had said, and she didn’t deserve to be happy. She couldn’t leave Deedee, which became an obstacle between them.This might just be the best ending.She closed her eyes and swallowed the pain. “Colton, I’ll have the child.”Colton looked sullen. “What do you mean by that?”Freyja looked like she was drained of blood, and her smile was hollow and weak, as if she had fallen into a black hole. “You’ll be a good father. The child will be happy if they are with you.”“Freyja Pruitt!” Colton grabbed her tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands popped up. “If this was what you wanted, did you find it amusing to play with my feelings for the past three years?”Freyja lay on the edge of the bed while his expression was unreadable. “You would give up your own child for Deedee. You feel sorry that she’s an orphan, but what about the child you’re carrying
