Suddenly, soft sobbing could be heard from a corner. Timothy turned to look and was surprised to see Kara there. She was tied up, her mouth gagged with a rag, and tears were streaming from her eyes.As Timothy walked toward her, she looked terrified, mumbling through the gag, "Stay away, you demon..."In no time, Timothy was at her side. He pulled out the gag and untied her ropes, frowning as he looked at her. "Why are you crying? What happened?"Kara's body trembled violently. She instinctively took two steps back, too scared to look at the man in front of her, who seemed more like a demon than a human.Everything she had just witnessed replayed in her mind, and her blood felt like it had turned to ice. She couldn't believe that the man who once seemed so carefree and casual was actually such a terrifying executioner.Timothy quickly understood the reason and gave a small chuckle. "Are you afraid of me?"Kara's tears kept falling. Covering her mouth, she sobbed and said, "You're
Kara had never experienced anything like that. Her mind went blank as her long, slender legs tightened together. Her cheeks flushed, her lips parted slightly, and her eyes glazed over. Her body trembled under the weight of Timothy's broad chest, the faint scent of tobacco filling her nose.She instantly regretted provoking him earlier and began to panic. Her small hands pounded against his chest."Timothy, let me go!"With a low tone, Timothy pretended as if he was about to devour her. "No way. Weren't you the one who said I wasn't a man?"Kara was on the verge of tears. Pinned beneath Timothy, her body pressed tightly against his, she felt a flood of shame and confusion. It was overwhelming, leaving her unable to describe the sensation.Timothy couldn't help but smirk at the sight of her helplessness. However, when he saw a single tear slide down her cheek, he was started. Loosening his grip instinctively, he frowned and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"Kara didn't respond. She b
Kara's eyes drifted toward the window, where her freshly washed clothes were hanging. Kara's jaw dropped as she felt moved by the gesture. Had he washed her clothes for her last night?...It was nearly noon when Timothy finally left the hotel. Rubbing his head, he hailed a cab to go home, feeling a tingle in his scalp.Last night, he really shouldn't have brought Kara to that hotel. If he hadn't, things would not have escalated into such a mess. However, Zack had been busy dealing with the Reginald family, and there was no one else around to help. Timothy couldn't just leave Kara, a delicate, high-profile star, alone in the hotel. So, he'd personally taken her there.It had been late, raining heavily outside, so he decided to stay the night too. Look how that turned out. Scratching his head, Timothy tried to shake off his thoughts. He pulled out his phone, and his face immediately darkened. He had over twenty missed calls from his parents,His heart skipped a beat as he quick
Since that day, Susan had been filled with regret. She wanted to find Timothy to apologize and make amends, but he had completely disappeared by then.Memories of the past replayed in her mind like a flickering film. Susan shook her head, sighing softly, trying to brush away these thoughts. Given that it had been three years without a single word from him, perhaps he really had left this world.Since then, Susan hadn't dated anyone else. Years passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was graduation season.Her classmate, Jason, had been persistently attentive, promising to buy her a house and car and to find her the best job. Hence, she had tacitly accepted Jason's pursuit. Though she hadn't fully agreed to be his girlfriend yet, it was only a matter of time.She looked at Jason with a smile, two dimples on her pretty face. "Let's not talk about him anymore, Jason. That's all in the past."Jason's face lit up with satisfaction as he gently held Susan's hand. "Susan, be with me.
Timothy was stunned by the sight before him. His parents were sitting on the couch, and sitting on a small stool in front of them was Zack, who was peeling an apple and chatting with his parents and his younger sister, Tiana, making them laugh.When they heard the noise at the door, everyone turned to look. Seeing Timothy, Cora quickly stood up and hurried over. Without saying a word, she anxiously examined him from head to toe.Timothy scratched his head and chuckled. "Mom, what are you looking for?"Cora took Timothy's hand, feeling both relieved and anxious, saying, "I was worried about you! I called dozens of times from yesterday until now, but you didn't answer. I was so scared! "Fortunately, your friend came over and told us you were just busy and couldn't answer the phone. Otherwise, I would have called the police!"Taken aback, Timothy glanced at Zack with a smile, guessing what might have happened. Seeing his mother's weathered yet worried face, Timothy felt a pang of em
Joseph was visibly surprised. He had noticed that Zack's sharp suit and affluent demeanor suggested he wasn't an ordinary person, but he hadn't expected him to be such a big boss.Looking at Timothy, Joseph felt a sense of pride and reminded him, "Timothy, it's a real blessing to have a friend like that. You should maintain a good relationship with him. He's helped us a lot!"Timothy nodded and smiled without saying much. It wasn't Timothy who was lucky. It was Zack who was fortunate to know him.Joseph continued, "Timothy, today is your sister's regular leg check-up—it happens every three months. The hospital called, so your mom and I are taking her there. Do you have time to come with us?"Timothy hesitated for a moment. Tiana's leg would be completely healed after his acupuncture and the ointments he made. It didn't matter much whether they went for a check-up or not. However, since the hospital had called, he decided to go along. He nodded with a smile and said, "Sure, I'll c
Joseph handed the pack of cigarettes to the doctor with an embarrassed smile and said, "Doctor, I didn't bring much, but here's a pack of cigarettes for you. Please, could you check my daughter again—"The doctor's expression fell as he looked at the pack of cigarettes. His face darkened, and he was visibly irritated. Usually, he received money, phone cards, or various expensive coffee beans that were worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Even cigarettes, when given as gifts, were usually in boxes, not just a single pack worth only ten dollars.Seeing the shabby appearance of Joseph, the doctor's anger flared up. In an instant, he slammed his hand on the table and swatted the pack of cigarettes away. It fell onto Joseph and then dropped to the floor.James Zimmerman, the doctor pointed angrily at Joseph, shouting, "What are you doing, old man? What's the point of this worthless gift? Are you trying to harm me? Don't you know the hospital's rules against accepting gifts? Get o
James was horrified. His face twisted in fear as he tried to retreat, but he couldn't match Timothy's speed.Timothy, fueled by intense rage, moved like lightning. As his voice fell, he was already upon James. With a powerful kick, he struck the man's face, sending him flying across the room, chair and all. The impact left a dent in the wall, with a smear of blood marking the spot. James screamed as he slid to the floor, his face a picture of misery.James's glasses were shattered, a large footprint was embedded on his face, and his jaw was dislocated. With blood and teeth spilled from his mouth, he convulsed on the ground.Timothy's face darkened as he approached James, bringing with him a black cloud of murderous intent. Having just returned from his call, he had overheard James's scathing remarks towards his father. His family was his bottom line, and he would not tolerate any insults toward them.Meeting his gaze, James nearly wet himself. The look in Timothy's eyes was like th
