Janice looked up like a fool and was even more dumbfounded when she saw two police officers. “Where to?” Someone suddenly kicked her and scolded her with disgust, “Where can you go if you’ve killed someone? Pfft! B*tch!” Another person ran over and slapped her face hard. “You stole someone else’s husband, framed his legal wife, and even killed his legal wife’s mom. How can an obnoxious woman like you exist in the world!” Janice regained her senses when she was kicked and slapped. When she looked up around her, she realized that the banquet hall was filled with people — men and women in stunning outfits — who were obviously there for the birthday party. They were always present, so they watched the show, as well as when she begged for forgiveness and pleaded guilty… Janice finally understood that someone had devised a plot against her! Someone planned the same scenario to happen again to get her to plead guilty! “I didn’t kill anyone! I didn’t kill anyone!” Janice shouted.
In the backyard of the villa, there was a small pond that was full of lotus flowers and was home to a few carps. Gwen walked to the side of the pond and casually took some fish feed to sprinkle them in batches to the fishes. Jared blurted as he could not wait any longer, “I don’t want us to end!” Gwen looked plainly at the pond and asked in return, “You don’t want us to end? What do you want then? Me?” She laughed. “Do you want me to return to you so that I’ll continue spending days of being married, but my husband’s always with another woman, always protects that woman first no matter what happens, strangles me because of that woman, and even has a child with her?” Those were things that Jared had done, and he had done things far worse than that. Throughout the five years, Jared had been looking back on his memories. He recalled her good while he recalled his bad, and he knew he owed her so much that he could not redeem himself by saying sorry. Jared expressed with a flat vo
“Jared, it has been five years, but you’re still so selfish and conceited. You want everything to be under your control, and you never consider what other people are really thinking.” Gwen finally vented her anger, which she had been suppressing for the whole night. “You’re still the old you, but I’m no longer the Gwen who stupidly liked you for ten years and was still committed to you even after tolerating your ridicules and insults! Because of you, I suffered a lot from Janice! Because of you, my mom was killed by Janice! Because of you, I made a trip to the gates of hell, my body’s still unwell, and my life has been shortened by twenty years! “You said you want to make it up to me, but how are you going to do that? Can you return my mom’s life? Can you make my illness go away? “You can’t! So you don’t deserve to demand anything from me, let alone ask me to return to you! Jared Crawford, I don’t have anything to do with you anymore. I’m setting myself free, so you should set me
Gwen looked gloomy when she returned home that night, and Zach could tell at once what had happened. “Did he disturb you again?” “I’m so pissed off!” Gwen threw her bag hard on the couch. “He actually asked me to start over with him again? He’s crazy!” Zach’s face darkened, and he stood up and said, “I’ll go meet him.” “Don’t, you shouldn’t go.” Gwen quickly stopped him. As mad as she was, she was still rational. “If you go, you’ll definitely fight. In any case, he’s the eldest son in the Crawford family, and your family and his are evenly matched. If you have a huge conflict and it affects your company, it won’t be worth it.” Zach hugged her and expressed, “But I can’t stand seeing him harassing you every day.” Gwen smiled brightly. “I’ll just ignore him. I’m yours, and it’s a fact that can’t be changed no matter what he does.” “Mm.” Zach hugged her even more tightly because he was afraid that the men who coveted her would snatch her away. Gwen closed her eyes in his war
“Aren’t you in prison? Why are you here?” Janice, who had somehow come out of prison, had a hideous look on her face. “That’s not important. What’s more important now is that we should settle our accounts, Gwen!” Gwen narrowed her eyes because she could not figure out if it was Zach or Janice who sent her the message. If Janice had sent it, how did she get Zach’s handphone? Therefore, Gwen backed away silently to open the distance between them, and she quickly racked her brain to come up with a plan. Nonetheless, she responded, “Our accounts? Are there unsettled accounts between us? If anything, you’re the one who owed me!” “I owed you? If you didn’t snatch my status as Mrs. Crawford, everything that followed after that wouldn’t have happened!” Janice was somewhat out of her mind. Gwen did not know what she had gone through in the prison during the four months. Gwen replied to her expressionlessly, “Do you need me to remind you? Jared only had a favorable impression of you be
“Zach! Zach!” Gwen shouted his name. Zach woke up very quickly and was dazed for three seconds before he took a look at his surroundings. In particular, he turned pale at the sight of the bomb on his body. “Quickly leave! Stella! Leave now!” Gwen shook her head. “I can’t leave, I want to save you!” She forced herself to calm down and tried not to tremble as she said, “I remember you told me that you were in the force for two years. Do you know how to defuse a bomb? Teach me, I’ll save you!” Zach shook his head. “There aren’t any tools around, so you can’t cut these wires!” “You just have to tell me how to save you!” Gwen responded and thought, ‘It doesn’t matter! I’ll definitely find a way to cut these wires!’ Zach inhaled deeply and exhaled. He had also recollected himself, so he furrowed his eyebrows while he quickly observed the type of bomb on his body. Zach used to be an outstanding special forces soldier in the past, so normal bombs were not a problem for him, and he im
Gwen’s memory after she fell into the sea was blank. She tried hard to recollect her memory, but she only recalled glaring flames. When the bomb exploded, she and Zach were pushed into the sea by Jared. The sea, which had almost taken her life away twice, protected them this time, hence they were only slightly injured. On the other hand, Jared… “Janice committed suicide, whereas Jared lost an arm,” Zach told Gwen. “...” Gwen did not know what to feel about it. It was out of her expectations. After lying in a hospital bed for two days, she finally went to Jared’s ward. Jared was having an infusion in bed at that moment, and he was pale. When Gwen saw his missing left hand, she became a little teary. “Why did you do that?” However, Jared simply smiled. Ever since Gwen warned him not to send her anything anymore, he stopped sending things, but he still wanted to see her. Therefore, Jared would go from Fuzhou to Haicheng once in a while to steal glances of her in secret
Many years passed in a flash, but stories about the Warren family and the Crawford family were heard without an end. It was said that the Warren family had a female successor, which was unprecedented in the family for a hundred years. Nonetheless, nothing could be done because Mrs. Warren could not bear another child due to her poor health. Besides, she was the only person who President Warren loved, so the Warren family was naturally handed down to Miss Warren. Miss Warren was also said to be a diligent person because she was able to take charge when she was 18 years old. She had represented her dad by going overseas to discuss a collaboration, where she secured ten million orders at once. The ancestors of the Warren family would be at ease knowing that their family was handed down to her. Furthermore, Miss Warren was said to have become the Warren Group’s president at the age of 20, making her the youngest president in her family’s history. Her parents traveled around the world
