Compared to Zach's massive 500 billion wealth, Oliver's request for 50 billion was quite manageable for him."Alright, I agree," Mila said sincerely. She gestured toward Zach and Loretta and added, "But you need to get rid of the bomb on them and set them free."Oliver smirked as he signaled to his men. A burly, armed man approached. He untied Zach and Loretta and removed the bombs from them.Zach and Loretta had been frightened and pale since the ordeal began. Zach removed the cloth gagging his mouth and snapped, "Oliver, let Wanda go right now. Forget about 50 billion. I'll hand over all of my 500 billion."Oliver shot Zach a hostile look and retorted, "Why didn't you offer that from the start? I'm a fugitive in Norvania now, and there's no way I can inherit your wealth."Zach rose in fury and declared, "I'll give you any amount of money you want. Just free everyone here.""You don't have the right to negotiate with me anymore," Oliver said with a smug smile. "Your beloved gran

After Oliver examined Daniel's medical records and scans, a look of concern crossed his face. Mila approached him and softly grasped his arm.Oliver froze. His focus shifted to her hand, then to her gaze, which held a gentleness and sympathy as if she had a sincere request."Uncle Oliver," Mila addressed him affectionately, then mouthed, "Please give him hope."Oliver grasped Mila's plea. He cleared his throat before he announced, "Dan, the nerves in your legs are still active. With acupuncture and physiotherapy, you could be standing within a year. Regarding your eyes, it's likely due to pressure from a brain hematoma."The hematoma's location is perilous. You've likely been told by many doctors about it. The craniotomy to remove it has less than a one percent survival rate. However, this surgery isn't overly challenging for me, and there's at least a ten percent chance of safely removing the clot."Sienna's excitement was palpable. She hurried over and grasped Oliver's hand, mom

Sienna shouted out of frustration, her voice filled with sadness. She muttered, "What are we going to do?"Daniel's expression soured as he desperately wished to escape from her presence. He longed for solitude and wished to peacefully depart from this world alone.He viewed Sienna as a constant source of trouble. Not only had she stopped him from dying, but she had also made his life a living nightmare. He had to endure her constant presence day and night, even sharing a room with her.She found solace in talking to herself and would often shout to release her inner turmoil."See if there's any communication device in the room," Daniel instructed.Sienna sat up suddenly, blinking in surprise as she looked at Daniel. "Are you talking to me?"Daniel sighed. "Who else is here? Am I talking to ghosts?"Sienna chuckled and shook her head. "No, you're talking to me.""Search for it," Daniel commanded.Sienna leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Should we find a phone and call the p

"Nate, it's Wanda. Lucas and Oliver, along with a group of armed thugs, have forcibly entered my home and planted explosives throughout the house. My grandparents, Phoebe, Simon, Dan, and Sienna are also here with me. We're being held hostage."They're demanding 50 billion and have threatened to detonate the explosives if we call the police. They've arranged for a helicopter in the backyard for their escape."After sending the message, Mila quickly switched off the virtual computer screen and hid the necklace under her shirt collar. Seeing nothing unusual outside, she left the bathroom and returned to her room.She wasn't certain if Nathan would receive the message or what action he might take—whether he would notify the authorities or organize a rescue mission. Everything was uncertain.As time passed, Mila's anxiety mounted as she remained unsure about the situation with the others. She paced in her room. Suddenly, she heard the sounds of scuffling and the curses of men coming fr
The Wrong Woman Chapter 440
After dealing with the two men, Mila rushed over to help Phoebe up and check her injuries. "Phoebe, where does it hurt? Tell me. Where's the blood coming from?"Phoebe shook her head. "I'm fine. I just coughed up some blood from getting kicked in the chest and abdomen. No visible wounds, so it's probably internal.""Those jerks," Mila cursed.Phoebe managed a weak smile.Mila gave her a stern look and asked disapprovingly, "You're a black belt in taekwondo. Plus, you're skilled in judo and boxing, too, right? How did you end up so vulnerable? Couldn't you handle just those two guys?""You think I didn't want to fight back?""Why didn't you, then?""If I resisted, they would have targeted you."Tears welled up in Mila's eyes instantly. Her heart ached at the sight of Phoebe battered and bruised. Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugged Phoebe tightly. Phoebe was undoubtedly strong. Her vulnerability didn't stem from herself but from her love for Mila."Mila, I'm truly okay. But rig

Lucas drew a deep breath, quelling his rage as he stowed away Mila's gun, muttering curses under his breath directed at Oliver. "This lovestruck fool is indeed a failure. We've witnessed the might of this gun before, yet he let her bring it in. Piece of shit." With that, Lucas pivoted and strode away, his voice firm as he issued commands. "Clean up these bodies and lock these women up separately." "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on them will lose his dick," Lucas thundered. "Do you understand?" "Yes, Mr. Vega," his subordinates chorused in response. Without delay, the burly men escorted Mila out of the room.As Lucas' figure receded, Mila desperately cried out, her voice echoing through the corridor. "Please, get a doctor for Phoebe. She's suffering from internal injuries. Please, get help for her." Ignoring her pleas, Lucas continued on his way, his steps resolute. Separated from Phoebe once more, Mila persisted in banging on the door as she was confined to her room, her

Mila gently removed the hand covering her mouth, her voice soft as she stated, "Nate, my grandparents are being held." Nathan explained, "Lucas has been with me for years. He is skilled in self-protection and counter-surveillance." Confusion filled Mila's voice. "What do you mean?" "Your grandparents have been relocated. They're no longer at Hoffis Manor." Mila's heart sank instantly, a heavy sorrow settling within her. First, it was her parents, and now her grandparents. Oliver, that accursed man, deserved every bit of hatred. "What about the others?" Mila pressed. Nathan, brimming with confidence, said, "Let's not rush. Give it a few more minutes." Mila had absolute trust in Nathan. She relaxed her guard and waited silently. With each passing minute, Nathan's comforting scent surrounded Mila. His warm breath brushed her cheek, his strong presence mere inches away. His commanding and overwhelming masculinity sent shivers down her spine. Mila asked nervously, "Nate, c

"Cole, get her to the hospital immediately," Nathan commanded. Without hesitation, Cole swiftly responded, lifting Phoebe and bolting outside. Mila trailed closely behind. Just as she reached the doorway, her steps faltered, and she turned back to Nathan. Her voice tense with urgency as she instructed, "Daniel and the others are still trapped in other rooms. You have to rescue them." Nathan's gaze darkened as he silently nodded in acknowledgment, a sharp pang of pain gripping his heart. With her plea delivered, Mila's mind couldn't entertain any other thoughts as she hurriedly chased after Cole's retreating form. Nathan emerged from the room. Leaning against the railing, he observed the scene below with a cold detachment, his expression unreadable as he surveyed the criminals bound in the center of the living room. Meanwhile, in the other rooms, forensic experts continued their search for explosives.Descending the stairs, Nathan was met with the sight of Sienna wheeling o

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1086
Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
