Merry Smith went into a meeting room accompanied by several security officers. She was left there with the security guards while Dolores Martinez went with Roger Carpenter into Dolores' private office. Roger quickly reported the situation and the evidence he had related to the Merry Smith case. Dolores then called the rest of the HR team to take care of the administrative documents immediately, and then she returned to the meeting room to meet Merry Smith.
Merry Smith sat irritably tapping her fingers on the table.
"How long do I have to wait here? I'm bored!" shouted Merry Smith.
But the security guard at the door was just as silent as a stone statue.
Merry Smith flung herself on the chair in annoyance. She sent Franz Smith a lengthy text message while she waited. Her father Patrick Smith recently had heart surgery, so Franz had told Merry not to burden their father's mind with unnecessary things.
Merry Smith bit her nails in annoyance. It was the
Ann received a message from Hans Graham shortly after her marriage to J. Carter was made public. He wanted to meet to clarify the news. But Ann refused. He had no more reason to meet Hans Graham. He intended to ignore it, but Hans Graham sent a picture message that caught his attention.[I found it in one of the warehouses that used to belong to your father. It looks like your father's personal belongings were tucked away in one of the lockers. Can I throw it away, or do you want to take it?]Ann looked at the pictures carefully. Unfortunately, since her house caught fire, none of her father's belongings remained. However, Ann recognized her father's favorite hat and jacket among the items Hans found. So when she found some of her father's relics, Ann got a little sentimental.[I'll have someone pick it up.] Ann replied to the message.[I'm only willing to give it to you if you take the time to have lunch alone with me.] Hans sent a reply.[When?]
When Ann woke up, she was in a room with her hands cuffed behind her back. She was sitting on a chair, and someone wrapped a rope around her, so Ann could hardly get herself out of the chair. Nevertheless, her legs were left free. The room was so dark that Ann's eyes had to get used to seeing in the darkness.Dimly, Ann noticed the room she was currently locked in. Unfortunately, this room was too good for the size of the confinement room. The shape was like a warehouse that had not been used recently. The roof was high, and the area was enormous. There were several empty and unused iron shelves.Ann felt familiar with the shape of this warehouse. The structure of this warehouse building was very similar to one of his father's warehouses. Was this a warehouse in the same warehouse complex, or was it his father's warehouse before the Grahams bought it?Ann recalled what had just happened. It seemed Hans Graham drugged Ann and kidnapped her while trying to retriev
Ann glared sharply at Hans Graham."Hans… tell me… is what he said true? Is it true that you approached me to target my father?" asked Ann nervously. Silently she tried to break the rope that bound her hands."You look pathetic, Ann," said Hans Graham, taking a step closer.Hans crouched near Ann. He stroked Ann's hair and pushed it away from her face. Ann could now see Hans Graham's face more clearly because her vision was not blocked by hair. Franz was secretly jealous of Hans's gentle attitude towards Ann, but he tried to hide it."Answered Hans. Is it true that you never loved me at all? Is it true that you framed my father?" Ann asked with eyes wet with tears.Hans fell silent and swallowed his saliva. He had a hard time answering. His face looked gloomy and depressed. Seeing his reaction, Ann could guess Hans' answer, but she wanted to hear the answer directly from Hans' mouth. As a woman who once loved Hans, Ann wanted affirmat
Patrick Smith ordered a bodyguard to push his wheelchair toward Franz Smith."What is this? Why haven't you killed that woman yet?" asked Patrick Smith, almost losing his temper.Franz Smith grabbed the cell phone in Hans Graham's hand and showed his father the screen."Papa, Merry was kidnapped by J. Carter," said Franz Smith.Patrick Smith's eyes widened in surprise. The threat he had heard just now didn't seem like an empty bluff. Merry Smith was surrounded by people who were ready to shoot her in the head seriously."Patrick Smith. You dared to deceive my father in the past. So now you want to threaten me with my wife's life? I'll blow Merry's head off if you dare hurt her," threatened J. Carter with a scary grin."Don't touch Merry. What do you want?" asked Patrick Smith furiously."The exchange of hostages. Then sell your Carter stock to me. Or you can give it to me voluntarily. Your call," said J. Carter, grinning."You
They arrived at a remote area outside the city. The area was an abandoned barren area with weeds and shrubs. There were no residential areas nearby, and cars rarely passed by. They entered across a barbed wire fence into a private estate that looked like an undeveloped factory area. There was a large area that was excavated by heavy equipment. Currently, the place did not appear to have any activity.There were barbed barricades and thick steel bars purposely installed there, so the vehicle had to stop, and Smith's troops had to park their car there and proceed to the interior on foot.A closed van truck stopped in the middle of the area, escorted by many other cars containing bodyguards. The back door of the truck container opened. Ann was escorted down with a bodyguard clutching her arm and holding a gun to her temple. Her face was a little wrinkled from the tear marks that ruined her makeup.Patrick Smith did not come to this location, but Hans Graham and Fra
When Ann opened her eyes, she was lying on the lap of someone she knew. It was Jace. The man looked dashing and very handsome. The last thing Ann remembered was when she trudged under Jake's protection to dodge the bullets. When she managed to reach an area safe enough and protected by Carter's troops, Ann fell unconscious from exhaustion.When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Jace's."Jace? Where's Jake?" asked Ann. Her throat felt dry. She tried to get out of Jace’s lap and sit next to Jace."Jake went in a different helicopter," Jace replied.Ann looked around and realized that she was in a rather large luxury helicopter. No one else was there but her and Jace. They sat in the back seat. Several seats in front of her obscured the view from the cockpit."Are you alright? The doctor has examined you. He said you just got some bruises and cuts. But maybe you're quite shaken by this incident," Jace said, stroking Ann's burgundy hair ge
Ann sat up, wringing her hands nervously. She was waiting for an explanation from Jace about the situation she was in. Knowing Ann's concern, Jace poured chamomile tea into making her feel more relaxed."Drink the tea first, Ann," Jace said, handing her a cup of tea.Ann took it and inhaled the aroma, then took a small sip."It smells good. It tastes nice, Jace," Ann replied with a grateful smile. She had calmed down a bit."Okay, let me start. You've heard Patrick explain to you, haven't you? So you already know that Hans Graham smuggled drugs through your father's company and piled it in your father warehouse," Jace began to explain."Yeah, Patrick told me. Is it true?" Ann asked, pulling her back straight."Yeah, Patrick isn't lying, Ann," Jace said."So it's true that they killed my father for knowing this? So the fire wasn't an accident?" Ann asked, covering her mouth with teary eyes.Jace shook his head."The fire
Twenty-three years ago… Jax drove the car at high speed. For a ten-year-old child, his body was quite tall. His foot could reach the gas pedal, and he could steer proficiently. Jace sat next to him with his seat belt fastened. His legs were a little shorter than Jax's, so it was difficult for him to drive. "Dad will kill us if he finds out we left without anyone's escort," Jace said worriedly. "Well, I was planning to have you call and tell him. Who would have guessed that you brought a cell phone that ran out of battery? GPS was left at home. Good thing I remember the location without GPS. Help me look at the map, Jace. The map is in the dashboard drawer," complained Jax as he continued to speed in a zigzag motion. "It does not matter. I think dad would have known we were missing. He must have read the message I wrote on the paper on the table. He just might have seen the last GPS we saw. He must have caught up with us," Jace said, trying to reassure
This morning Ann woke up earlier than usual. They have returned home. Ann was in the warm embrace of the three husbands she loved. They were still sleeping snoring. Ann moved to the edge of the bed. She intended to go downstairs and take a walk in the garden to breathe in the morning air. However, a strong arm wrapped around her waist from behind and pulled her back into the blanket. Ann's bare back touched the warm, stocky chest of one of her husbands."Good morning, love," Jace whispered in Ann's ear."Good morning, Jace," Ann replied with a happy smile.Jace rubbed Ann's beautiful, firm ass with his hardened cock. They used to sleep naked under the blankets."Jace, it's still early. Jake and Jax are still sleeping," whispered Ann starting to feel excited to receive Jace's touch."Precisely. Because they are still sleeping, I want to be alone with you, dear. Let's do it. Don't let them wake up," Jace pleaded in an alluring husky voice in Ann's ea
The cruise ship sailed quite far into the middle of the ocean. The next day they would arrive at the first stop. The ship would dock, and the passengers would descend ashore to have fun for two days and one night in a tourist destination city.It was already midnight. Ann walked to the top of the ship's deck alone in light clothes. She wanted to enjoy the sea breeze at night alone. The view of the ocean at night was so beautiful. Ann could see the moon and stars twinkling clearly in the night sky. The weather that night was very clear.Inside the ship, several couples were busy dancing in the discotheque. Entertainment on this cruise ship did last for twenty-four hours non-stop. So the frenetic sound of the soft dance music sounded along with the pounding that shook the floor.Ann stepped into the bow of the ship. She stood at the end of the bow while gazing out into the vast ocean. The ship's lights gave her sufficient light. Ann took a deep breath of air while
Ann looked nervously at Jax and Jace."Punish me?" asked Ann.Ann looked nervously at Jace and Jax. She was at a loss for words to defend herself. Meanwhile, Jake was still hugging her casually."Yeah, we have to punish you for making us jealous," Jace said."But I'm not cheating," Ann said pitifully."Who said you cheated on us?" Jax asked, confused."What?" Ann asked, no less confused."I don't like it because you two have fun alone without asking us," Jace said."You should have done it with us too," Jax said."You're not accusing me of cheating?" Ann asked, confused."No, it's Jake. We recognized him right away," Jace chuckled.Jake grinned widely. He secretly enjoyed Ann's restlessness. However, he knew that he had stolen the opportunity to make out alone with Ann, without taking his two siblings."They're just teasing you, baby," Jake said, kissing Ann's cheek."What? You guys are so bad
Ann stepped up onto the cruise ship's deck. The officer had just brought her belongings to the luxury cabin she had rented. This was the dream cruise ship that Ann was eager to try for honey moon. However, because this cruise ship was open to the public, many people also boarded the cruise ship. J. Carter was too well known, so Jax, Jake, and Jace decided to disguise their faces. Meanwhile, Ann's face was not well known to the public so that she could relax with her natural face."This is so much fun! I feel like I'm a secret agent on a special mission," Ann giggled. She purposely dyed her burgundy red hair black for a disguise.Jake, Jace, and Jax looked at each other with meaningful smiles. They obeyed Ann's long-held wish. The cruise ship was vast. Inside there were various entertainment venues, and the rooms were spacious like hotel rooms."I went around first. I can do it myself," Ann exclaimed enthusiastically. She walked around the cruise facility happily
The wedding ceremony was held behind closed doors. No journalists were allowed to cover the event. Dave Carter's assistant helped provide photos and articles for publication while keeping the existence of three of J. Carter as secret.The world was not yet time to know the whereabouts of the triplets. Later, when the Carter family had become the strongest in the business world and the underworld, they would announce it to the world. Dave Carter had been cautious since the kidnappings in the past. So many people wanted to seize his property and kill his heir.Ann Carter, the little girl who was in Jake's arms twenty-three years ago, at that moment, became a beloved legal wife for his three sons.Dave Carter still remembered what happened in the police station back then.When Dave Carter picked up his three children together with his elite bodyguards, he saw his children laughing happily with a little girl. It seemed that the three children had forgotten th
Ann bought a pretty big bouquet. That day he came to his father's grave with Jax, Jace, and Jake. Today the Carter rent the whole cemetery exclusively for Ann's visit, so no one else was there but the four of them. The bodyguards strictly guarded the surroundings of the cemetery and did not let anyone else in.Jax and Jake used disguises so that their faces didn't look identical as Jace's triplets. These were the game rules that they had set themselves when they had to go out together. Each of them carried a bouquet of colorful flowers.Ann placed the bouquet in front of the grave of her father, Nick Davis."Those criminals have confessed what they did, Dad. They get the punishment commensurate with their actions. Now Daddy can rest in peace. From now on, I will live happily. Here are Jax, Jace, and Jake, whom Dad saved twenty-three years ago. Then Dad…" said Ann, unable to continue. Her tears broke, and she wept bitterly.Jake hugged Ann's body ge
When Patrick Smith regained consciousness, he was in the hospital with his legs cuffed to the medical bed. The nurse called a man to check on him. The officer was showing his police badge and arrest warrant to Patrick Smith. "Patrick Smith, you are arrested for the murder of Nick Davis and possession of an illegal drug plantations. You have the right to remain silent and be accompanied by a lawyer. The evidence and the recording of your confession are already with the police," said the man. Patrick Smith sighed in disappointment and despair. J. Carter did not let him escape and live free, even though he spared Patrick's life. Patrick stared at the cop without a fight. He knew he couldn't escape. "Where are my children Franz and Merry?" Patrick asked the cop. "Franz has been arrested for the murder of Nick Davis and possession of an illegal drug plantations. Drugs were also found in his blood and urine. He is now in custody at the police station," the
Trembling, Patrick Smith shouted. "Where is this? Where exactly is this!" cried Patrick Smith hysterically with a pale face. In front of Patrick was a thick, transparent glass wall. Across the glass, a vast ocean stretched out without limits. Thick transparent glass covered two steel-framed cages suspended by an extensive chain. Each glass cage contained one prisoner. One male prisoner. Franz Smith. One female prisoner. Merry Smith. Both of them were covered in blood all over their bodies. The floor of the cage was muddy with pools of blood. "What did you guys do to them?" cried Patrick Smith, his face pale and eyes wide with fear. Merry screamed hysterically as she wept. She pounded on the glass wall with her tiny hands. Meanwhile, Franz was fumbling through the glass walls to find a way to survive. "Is that their blood? Did you hurt them?" cried Patrick Smith frantically. "No, that's not their blood," said a m
Patrick Smith waited anxiously at his house. After returning from the empty warehouse where he had kept Ann Carter, his heart was not at ease. Franz Smith and Hans Graham had left hours ago for a hostage swap. That bitch should just be killed. Ann Carter looked weak and helpless, but there was something wrong with the look in her eyes. The woman was not as fragile as she seemed. There was something she was hiding, and it made Patrick Smith felt uncomfortable. The woman had something important that Patrick Smith didn't know. Franz was an idiot! Patrick grumbled in his mind. Franz shouldn't have listened to his boyfriend, Hans Graham's opinion. A soft man like Hans was not fit to be in the field. That woman should have been killed a long time ago. Ann Carter! His instincts told him that she was the key to defeating J. Carter! There had been no contact from Franz Smith yet. They should have arrived at the scene, and the hostage exchange was over. What took them so long
