Ryleigh was a little surprised when she heard that Joe had stopped practicing medicine and had become an English teacher. “He actually changed his career path?”Maisie fidgeted the pen in her hand. “I only found out about it recently.”Ryleigh leaned on the back of the couch, “It’s been a long time since I last contacted Joe. Why don’t we fix a date and time for the three of us to get together someday?”Maisie looked at her. “Then we’ll still have to resolve your issue first. Didn’t you mention that Louis has found new evidence?”Speaking of this, Ryleigh picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms. “Yeah, he’s found something.”Maisie propped her hand against her chin and let off a faint smile. “Then you have to show him your appreciation. He’s out there running around and investigating the little things just for you, so to be honest, I won’t believe anyone that says that he doesn’t have feelings for you.“Ryleigh’s expression looked weird. “Does he have feelings for me? Is t
It was a rainy day the next day.The cold autumn breeze blew against the car’s windows as the raindrops rolled down the foggy windows, blurring the scene outside of the car.The car was parked outside the hospital entrance, and Maisie got out of the car with an umbrella and opened it up. “Uncle Kennedy.”“Sorry to have to trouble you to come to pick me up even on a rainy day.” Kennedy took the umbrella in Maisie’s hand.“This is no big deal.” Maisie looked down at her watch. “I’ve already reserved a private room in a restaurant in advance on your behalf, and Aunty Samantha should have arrived at the restaurant.”Kennedy nodded and got into the car with her and the umbrella.When they reached the restaurant, the waiter led them to the private room and opened the door for them. Samantha was already sitting there waiting for them.Maisie stepped forward. “Aunty Samantha, sorry that we’ve kept you waiting for such a long time.”Samantha stood up slowly and replied with a smile, “Th
Eugene glanced at Kennedy, who was sitting beside Samantha, and mocked, “Oh, do you think that another man would take you in after your divorce?”Kennedy’s expression changed when he heard Eugene’s extremely rude comment. “Mr. Boucher, even though Ms. Green is your ex-wife, insulting her is really not something a man should do. Is this the upbringing of the Bouchers?”The insinuating sarcasm infuriated Eugene. “Just who do you think you are? How dare you judge me when I’m around?”Samantha was well aware of Eugene’s temper and was worried that he would really make a move on Kennedy. “Eugene Boucher, if what you aim to do here is to create a stir, then get out of here and do it elsewhere.”“Oh, you’re already starting to defend him?”Eugene did not give in at all. He walked up to Kennedy and grabbed him by the hem of his collar. “If you want to stand up for this woman, you’ll have first to see just how capable you are.”Kennedy stared directly at him with his unwavering gaze. “So
Eugene took a deep breath. Ιt was not optimum for him to make any move rashly now that Helios was present. “I’m not looking to cause them any trouble.”“Then why did you bring these people here?” Francisco pointed at the bodyguards. “What are you b*stards doing? You better take your hands off him! Νone of you is allowed to make a move on anyone in this room!”The bodyguards looked at Eugene with embarrassed expressions. Eugene then waved his hands impatiently, motioning them to step back.Eugene glared at Francisco, and his expression looked gloomy. “You, you’re coming back with me.”Francisco crossed his arms as if he was about to lodge a complaint about his father’s doing. “I’ll definitely go with you. I’m going to tell Grandfather everything that just happened.”“You…”Francisco ignored him and walked to Helios’s side. “Bro, I’ll leave my mother to you.”Helios nodded.Francisco then looked back at Maisie and waved at her with a grin when he walked to the door. “Little godde
At the nursing home…Water droplets dripped off the eaves and onto the leaves of a potted plant sitting on the windowsill. Anthony sat on the couch, flipping through a photo album and feeling extremely melancholic.His daughter had been hurt and had fallen into a long coma. He had been guarding her for a decade and had no idea how long this would last.Louis stood at the door and knocked on the door, which caused Anthony to put the album down. “Who are you?” he asked in a hoarse voice.“My name is Louis Lucas.”“Mr. Lucas?” Anthony was a little bewildered. “Why would you come to me, Mr. Lucas?”Louis glanced at the person lying on the bed and explained, “I’ve come here today with someone else.”Anthony did not understand what he meant, so he only stood in place and watched as Louis asked his bodyguard to bring the person in.It was an old man in his 60s whom he did not know.Anthony asked, “This is?”Louis replied, “He used to be a security guard of the University of Northway
Louis narrowed his eyes.‘This old man witnessed that scene and saw Naomi’s face but did not see the perpetrator's appearance. So he didn’t know anything when Ryleigh was being framed as the perpetrator.’Louis then asked the bodyguard to escort the old man out and stood in front of Anthony. “Mr. Topaz, Ryleigh isn’t the culprit who harmed your daughter. She lost all her achievements in the music field that she took pride in because of your daughter. As for the real culprit behind your daughter’s incident, I’ll locate them for you. All I ask is that you give Ryleigh a chance.”Anthony made a remark about Ryleigh and Naomi’s incident on Twitter two days later.#Ryleigh Hill is not the perpetrator of the accident that took place at the University of Northway 10 years ago.#Anthony was the father of the victim, Naomi Topaz. That was why many netizens were surprised when the statement was posted.#Miss Hill actually carried the blame for 10 full years. That’s so sad.##I’ve heard ab
Nolan grabbed her by her shoulders. “Don’t worry. Give me her number, and I’ll locate her as you call Quincy for me.”Maisie nodded.She contacted Quincy and Louis while Nolan sat on the side and pinpointed Ryleigh’s location in an instant using the computer. “She’s on Bridgeton Street.”At Bridgeton Street…Ryleigh was woken up with a bucket of cold water that was poured onto her head. Half of her coat was soaked, and it was sticking to her body, causing her to feel bitterly cold.She coughed a few times and subconsciously realized that her hands were tied behind her back and could not move.“You’ve woken up.” A slightly familiar voice stunned her, and because it was too cold, she trembled from head to toe as she opened her eyelids.The woman standing in front of her turned out to be Chenney.Ryleigh’s voice sounded hoarse, and she looked around immediately.It looked like an undecorated commercial building. The walls were only layered with a layer of cement, the steel bars w
Ryleigh was extremely uncooperative. She struggled and resisted even after she was pushed to the ground. She even bit a man’s hand, causing him to fling her off his hand in pain and then slap her on the cheek.Ryleigh’s head turned to the side, and her wet hair was stuck on her cheek.The buttons of her coat were torn off forcibly, and the close-fitting blouse inside was also torn widely open.Ryleigh was petrified and started to cry in fear. Chenney took out her cell phone to film the scene and ordered the men, “Take everything off of her.”One of the men was about to reach out and peel off the only piece of clothing that Ryleigh had left.At that moment, someone kicked the door down, rushed forward, kicked the man on top of her off her body, and punched the other two with a right hook.Chenney was so frightened that she stepped back.Louis quickly took off his coat, wrapped it around Ryleigh’s cold body, and picked her up. “Ryleigh!”Ryleigh’s consciousness was a little blu
