Briana grabbed onto Hilda while beating her up, but Hilda refused to surrender. "Go on and hit me. I will never beg you even if you were to beat me to death. I will snatch Nathan away from you in the next life even if I end up dead today. Nathan is my hubby, do you hear me? He is mine! Mine! You don't even stand a chance with me! Previously, you abandoned him, and so you do not have the right to get him back now!" Briana was blinded by fury, and she screamed hysterically. She scolded Hilda while grabbing her by her hair and beating her up. "Beg me not to kill you! Beg me!" Hilda gritted her teeth when she retorted, "Go on and hit me! I'II surrender if you are able to make me beg for mercy!" Briana vented her frustrations by beating Hilda. She regarded Hilda, who was bruised all over, and she felt good about herself. However, something flashed through Briana's mind, and she seemed to have realized something. Then, she spat at Hilda, "I almost fell for your trick! You are just st
That day, the headline in Taadi City was 'Young Lady Damien Killed the Descendent of a Late Hero, Briana McKinney'. 'Nathan Clemon's Wife Killed His Lover!' The news shook the entire Taadi City, and it especially affected the financial world. Everybody was speculating whether the alliance between Connie and the military would cease to exist over this matter. This wasn't the first time Briana had stirred up trouble, but the Cannon Family had been turning a blind eye so far. Besides, they had been supporting her ever since she returned to the country. Hence, it was obvious how protective the Cannon's were over Briana. Hilda was considered the Clemon's daughter in law, but her relationship with Nathan was a mystery. Nathan only managed to rush back home at noon the next day after the incident. Currently, the Taadi City newspapers were filled with news of Hilda murdering Briana. There were a few pictures of her, showing her covered in petrol and blood while being tied to a pole, publ
Two days had passed, but Thomas felt as if a few centuries had gone by. The guilt was crushing him. The fear and guilt for the past two days had been overwhelming for him, and so he couldn't sleep or eat well. Hence, he had lost a lot of weight. Thomas mumbled something, but he finally answered Rex, "Rex, I am sorry. It's J.. just that I.. l." He didn't know how to explain the situation to Rex. "Alright, that's enough. Stop speaking. Look at yourself, you are filthy and smelly. You look so disheveled too. My guess is that you haven't had anything to eat, am I right? Let's chat after having a meal." Without any further comment, Rex dragged Thomas back to the company, where they always slept in anyway. After a shower, Thomas started gobbling up food without even being bothered to dry his hair. He hadn't really had anything to eat for the past two days, so he was famished, he finished Rex's stash of instant noodles in no time. In fact, he wolfed down three tubs of instant noodles.
Nathan didn't even remember how he got back into the car. ................ Lily held the psychiatrist hostage to leave the center. Then, she demanded for the research center's security guard to open the door for her by threatening the doctor's life, she even brought the doctor along to escape, but she attempted to kill him cruelly in the end. Initially, she could have murdered him in one go, but she was wounded, and she didn't have any weapons with her. She lacked strength, and so the doctor did not die. The psychiatrist is a healthy and strong man, but he can't even defeat Lily. My daughter, Luna, is merely 3 years old, how could she possibly escape from her?! Soon, they found the two bodyguards in charge of driving Luna, whom Lily had wounded and hid in an alley. One of them was permanently disabled, whereas the other was unconscious and had to be sent to the emergency room. Lily was currently under the control of the cold blooded assassin, Yvonne, and so it meant that she was
Lily took a box of biscuits and ate a little before throwing a carton of milk at Luna. With both hands being tied, Luna clumsily picked the milk up, inserted the straw into it, and drank it. She had been starving for many hours as well. While being wary of Johnathan and Nathan, she took off her clothes with one hand, revealing her injured arm, and used the other hand to skillfully stop her own bleeding and bandaged her wound. As she had been through special self rescue training, she was able to tend to her injuries while staying vigilant of her surroundings. Seeing that she had finally calmed down and Luna was drinking milk, Nathan patted Johnathan's shoulder before explaining to her, "This is a big issue. I have to go down to make some arrangements with the necessary departments. Give me some time." All of a sudden, Lily grabbed Luna into her arms and pointed the gun at her head. "Someone is here!" She growled mercilessly. Her especially acute sense of hearing allowed her to cap
Lily's threat level had greatly exceeded everyone's expectation. According to Connie's plan, she would not be given any chances of survival because it would be impossible for Luna to escape this alive without killing Lily. The military had no choice but to reluctantly accept the plan and give up on Lily. Nathan went upstairs to take another look at Luna, who was obediently curled up on the balcony with her eyes wide open. She tried to stay awake although she was at the verge of dozing off at any time. Suppressing his tears, Nathan tried to make himself sound relaxed as he consoled her. "Good baby, I'm here. We are going to shoot our night scenes soon. Luna, be good, don't move and don't sleep!" Luna seemed pitiful. "Daddy, it's dark. I'm scared." He replied, "Shooting night scenes is like this. Don't be scared. After we finish shooting for this movie, you will become famous, and I will take you to go and participate in 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'." Upon mentioning joining the pr
The moment Anthony made an appearance, Lily instantly calmed down, as if she had found her faith. She raised her head and looked at him. As he was stepping forward, he fished out a pocket watch from his pocket and held it in front of Lily. He then spoke to her in a kind, gentle voice. "Look at it." Her highly tense spirit became relaxed at that moment. She looked at the pocket watch without any resistance while her pupils followed the movement of the swinging pocket, which then caused her to be unconsciously hypnotized. Her eyes became glassy, and her mind turned blank. At the same time, the gun that she had been firmly holding in her hands fell to the floor. Meanwhile, Anthony impassively continued to swing the pocket watch with one hand. "Look at it... If you feel tired, close your eyes and take a rest." His voice, which was full of magic, caused Lily to almost fall asleep with her eyes half closed. He quietly picked up the gun with his other hand, turned off the safety, and rem
As the car headed home, Connie hugged Luna in her arms while Hilda continued sobbing in silence. The injuries on her face had not fully recovered. She weakly leaned on Linux' shoulder and buried her face in his arms as he comforted her. As she was highly tense for the entire day, the current opportunity to relax for a split second immediately caused her to loosen up and fall asleep within seconds. Even after she fell asleep, there was a trace of tears at the corner of her eyes. His body stiffened as he was afraid that he would wake her up. Upon looking at Luna, who was dozing off in her arms, Connie wrapped her up tightly with the blanket, causing her to fall asleep almost instantly. Even while she was asleep, she still held onto her money and refused to let anyone take it. While looking at the sleeping mother and daughter, she felt blissful yet pressured, as if she owned the whole world, but had to bear the weight of it. Nevertheless, her daughter would eventually have to settle
