Martin indifferently stepped on Cody's already useless wrist."Ah..."The excruciating pain spread throughout Cody's body, causing his veins to bulge.As though oblivious to his suffering, Martin cruelly grounds his shoe on it repeatedly.Cody was drenched in sweat, begging for mercy in pain, "Ah... I was wrong, I was wrong... I didn't know she was your woman, please spare me, Mr. Langley... I won't dare anymore...""Who ordered you?"Martin's voice was extremely soft, extremely gentle. Like a gentle breeze, brushing lightly against Cody's ears.But to Cody, it felt like he was in an icy world, shivering from the cold. He dared not hide anything and quickly said, "It was my godfather who instructed me to do so!""Timothy?" Martin's face remained unchanged, as if he were asking about an insignificant matter.Cody nodded repeatedly."It's Timothy, he's my godfather, he... He ordered me to do it. He said to arrange for two people to go in and teach Patricia a lesson, not to kill her, jus
Both Aubrey and Emily felt a sense of foreboding at the same time.Their premonition was soon proven accurate."You two will have a duel, and whoever wins can leave this place freely. On the other hand, the loser will be thrown into the sea as shark bait." Martin's words were calm, but carried a deadly aura.Aubrey and Emily were both stunned, staring at him incredulously. "Us, a duel?"Especially Aubrey, she covered the wound on her abdomen and fear filled her face.Martin gazed at them with a smile. The answer was self-evident.Aubrey and Emily shook their heads simultaneously, saying, "No, we are best sisters who have shared joys and sorrows for twenty years. We would never harm each other! You won't succeed in driving a wedge between us.""You have ten minutes. If you cannot resolve the outcome, you will both be fed to the sharks." Martin wasted no more time and stood up, elegantly adjusting his cuffs before departing.Aubrey shouted in frustration, "This is unfair! We didn't lay
In the orthopedics department of the hospital.After a long day, Debbie and her, Manda, were exhausted. Manda's condition had worsened due to constantly needing to go to the bathroom and moving too frequently.Debbie angrily knocked the teacup off the bedside table, making a crisp sound, her face twisted with fury. "That bastard Randy dared to humiliate me! I will make him pay."Manda felt her chest about to explode with anger."When did that bastard become so cunning? He used to just have tantrums and act recklessly, without any brains. Now, it's like he's a different person."Her words reminded Debbie of something that flashed through her mind."Mom, what did you just say?"Manda thought they shared the same thought and wondered, "Today, Randy seemed a bit different from usual! It's like he's become smarter! More scheming than before."Debbie's audacious idea popped into her mind."Could it be that he is not Randy?"But rather Randy's twin brother?Otherwise, why would they have the
Martin firmly held her chin and forced her to look up, his voice cold. "The things you've done cannot be repaid even if you die ten times. But considering that you saved my life when we were kids, I won't hold it against you. From now on, we're even, no debts between us."Debbie tightly grasped his hand, shaking her head excitedly. "No, Martin, I don't want us to be even. I truly love you and I'll die without you. Please, don't break off our engagement. I promise you; I'll change, start anew, and never do anything bad again."Martin's handsome eyebrows furrowed, showing no mercy. "Your bad deeds are already ingrained in you!"Debbie adamantly denied, "No, I'm not inherently a bad person. If I was, then"Why did I save you back then? It was because I loved you too much, afraid of losing you. That's why I was jealous and did so many things that you hated." Martin's eyes were filled with endless coldness. "Whether it's fate or coincidence, it has nothing to do with me. You should be grat
Upon hearing that they were going to Maple Leaf Restaurant, Patricia immediately refused without hesitation, "No, I'm not going! With my face like this, how can I go? Do you want everyone to know that I was beaten?"Martin smiled helplessly.Seeing him not saying a word, Patricia added, "You go if you want, but Randy and I won't go."Martin thought she had a point.Although the swelling on Patricia's face had subsided a lot, you could still see the clear imprint of five fingers, as well as the bite marks on her neck and collarbone, which could lead to misunderstandings.After a brief moment of thought, he decisively took out his phone and sent a message to Ryann and Carter."Patricia is sick, and I need to take care of her, so Randy and I won't go. You guys have fun!"Just when the agreement was made, Ryann didn't expect Martin to change his mind again."Patricia is sick, what happened to her? Randy and I will go visit her! We've been wanting to visit her since she returned to Ivara C
His excitement was interrupted, and a coldness spread across Martin's face. "What are you doing?"Patricia adjusted her clothes, buttoned them up, and glared at Martin with anger, tears swirling in her eyes. "Martin, you're truly shameless. Do you find joy in repeatedly humiliating me, making me feel embarrassed? Is that what satisfies you?"Martin's mind was clouded, and the alcohol prevented him from thinking clearly.He didn't understand. Everything was fine just a moment ago, so why did she suddenly change like this?"What are you talking about?"Patricia grabbed his collar and presented the lipstick mark to his face. "See for yourself! One moment, you're flirting with other women, and now you're showering me with sweet words. Martin, I must have lost my mind to forget the pain you once caused me and be fooled by you! Let me tell you, from now on, you're not allowed to touch me again, or I'll ruin you."After speaking, she turned around to leave the hospital room.Martin grabbed h
Startled by Martin's sudden appearance, Patricia, while relieved, couldn't help but feel angry, and her anger surged. "Martin, what are you doing?"Martin's face turned pale and he stared at her, flames burning in his eyes. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"For a moment, Patricia was bewildered. "What do you mean?"Martin unintentionally increased the strength in his grip. "Do you understand the difference between men and women?"Suddenly, Patricia understood his meaning and sneered, "It's the 21st century now. Do you still think it's so conservative?"Martin's expression grew even more unpleasant. "Lack of self-respect."This immediately angered Patricia. "What does that mean?""Not self-respecting? Just because of a collarbone? Besides..." She paused, her tone unknowingly becoming sharp. "Besides, what relationship do we have? What right do you have to control me? Even if I am not self-respecting, so what? I am single now, and if I want to be with several men, it's my choic
The Watson family.Debbie looked over the investigation materials, her face turning green with every line she read."It's not Randy, that little bastard. It's another little bastard Patricia gave birth to." Debbie cursed loudly.Manda took the materials from her hand and looked over the document.Inside were several photos.The photos showed Randy being called away by Fannie and Jade and another little boy who looked exactly like him taking off his clothes and hat in the flowerbed, pretending to visit Patricia.This caused Manda to question what was really going on, were these photos even authentic?The photo material was taken from surveillance videos. Although the image quality was not as good as a professional camera, it was clear enough to see their faces.Although Manda knew that Patricia had given birth to a pair of twins, this...This was the first time she had seen them up close, confirming what she had heard. But still she felt so surprised by it that her eyes widened."That
