Later, she became the pioneer in searching for food on the island. Every time she discovered new fruits, new species of fish, and so on, she was the first to taste them. Many poisons had no effect on her.Reginald's gaze darkened as he listened. However, when he looked at her calm expression, it seemed like she was stating something very ordinary."Did the Brook family drug you?" he asked coldly."Yes." It wasn't lethal drugs; they just occasionally caused her stomachaches, dizziness, and the like.Heloise nodded. "So, I really wasn't seeking death.""If it weren't for me, you would be dead."Reginald glared at her and picked up a medical report, tossing it onto her bed.Heloise lowered her gaze, reached out, and opened the report. She then saw the clear and detailed data, realizing how vicious the poison given by Grace was. Making it to the point of gastric lavage was a stroke of luck."Thanks to Mr. Wordsworth for saving me. I really don't know how to repay you."This was the second
"..."He must have thought she was going to run away, that's why he hurried back.This man, his desire to keep her as his canary is so strong that it's unshakable. He flew back from abroad just for the possibility that she might leave."That's right. When we heard Miss was in trouble, the Young Master flew the helicopter exceptionally fast, almost getting into an accident. Those bodyguards were not just for show. They couldn't find you, and it was the Young Master who eventually located you," Jane explained.Heloise never felt so grateful to the Young Master. He saved Miss."I was just at the West Gate, you know?"How hard could it be to find her?Heloise was a bit puzzled."Miss, at that time, you couldn't see clearly. You didn't take the path towards the West Gate; everything was chaotic," Harriet told her."..."So that's how it was. No wonder when she heard the bodyguards, she didn't see any coming to find her. In that case, if it weren't for Reginald finding her, no one would hav
"I can't eat these," she said. She could only have liquid food now."I know," Reginald calmly raised an eyebrow. "I'll eat. You can watch."Heloise fell silent. So, he brought all these top-notch dishes just to stimulate her?"Harriet said you're a good eater. Every time there's a new dish, you eat a lot. But they can only make homely food. You probably haven't tried these," Reginald said as he picked up the fork and knife and began to cut into the foie gras drizzled with white truffle sauce. "This was flown in from France. Tastes quite nice with Alba's white truffles."As he spoke, he took a bite of the foie gras.Heloise sat there watching. He chewed slowly, and she could almost imagine the explosion of the fresh aroma of truffles in his mouth.She hadn't ever tasted Alba's truffles before, and her stomach seemed to roar in response.Seeing her stare at him, Reginald looked up at her. "Like it? I'll cut another piece to show you."She took a sharp breath. Was he not only refraining
The towel he used to wipe his head revealed a distinct and handsome face, with a narrow and alluring gaze that exuded a strong aura. Was he planning to spend the night in the hospital room today?People who have undergone stomach washing all look haggard like this. Even she had decided to take it easy for a couple of days before hitting the road again. Surely, he wasn't planning something so beastly?She decided to change the subject first.Thinking this way, Heloise put down her phone and took the initiative to speak, "I heard you caught Grace and Coral.""Yeah," Reginald responded in a deep voice, casually tossing the towel into the trash. He walked to her bed and threw his phone to her. "The startup password is FRW, and there's a monitoring software at the end."It was an English password. He unexpectedly told her his startup password like that.Heloise followed his instructions, unlocked the phone, and opened the last monitoring app. Inside were some surveillance videos, and she c
The tattoos were like this, not to mention the mobile phone password.Heloise analyzed slowly, "Your phone password is FRW, with the last W being from the surname Wordsworth. The first F should stand for Feronia, meaning a deer in the spring forest. If your sister is named Deer, it would be too straightforward and lack depth. So, your sister's name should be something like Feronia Wordsworth, right?"Reginald continued to stare at her, focused. He observed her eyes, black and white, her long and curled eyelashes, everything growing in the way he desired.His slender fingers pinched her chin, his breath heavy. His gaze gradually became sharper, containing a hint of a blade, "Heloise, the way you are, I find myself less inclined to let you go."His voice was low, sexy, with a mix of tenderness and the licking of blood in a kill.Again, and again, and again.She was gradually turning herself into what he wanted. How could he possibly let her go?Impossible.He wouldn't spare her even if
A stranger offering helps? Grace was momentarily stunned. It was surprising that someone else wanted to harm Heloise. However, she quickly dismissed the idea. After this ordeal, she understood that all the talk about Reginald not supporting Heloise was just a facade. Heloise was poisoned, and Reginald unexpectedly deployed such a massive operation to save her. If they dared to provoke Heloise further, Reginald could annihilate the entire Brook family. The caller seemed to know she might refuse and said, "Mrs. Brook, you don't have to rush to refuse me. If I can make you do this, naturally, I can protect you. Not only can I protect you, but I can also ensure Mr. Brook's release." This temptation almost swayed Grace, but she managed to stay rational. "Why should I trust you?" "I naturally have ways to convince you. It depends on whether you dare." "Do you have a grudge against Heloise?" "I just don't want such a person to stay beside someone she doesn't deserve." After saying th
"Bang!"Harriet's scream vanished in a massive crash.The sound of tires scraping against the ground disappeared. The entire world suddenly fell silent, with only two startled sparrows flying across the whitening sky."Ah!"Jane's scream echoed.Heloise abruptly stopped and turned around. She saw Grace's car halted there, and beneath it, blood slowly spread, glaringly red.To stop Grace's car, Harriet used her own body, blocking it, wedging herself against the wheels."..."Heloise stood there, her face turning ashen, instantly drained of any trace of color.The bodyguards rushed forward. Grace, seated in the driver's seat, panicked, her hands fumbling, uncertain of what to grab.Almost in an instant, Heloise knew what she had to do. Through gritted teeth, she roared, "You dare!"Heloise stood there, glaring fiercely at Grace. However, in the split second when the words fell, Grace still shifted into reverse and pressed the gas, backing up."Bang."Another loud crash.The car quickly
"What are you doing?" Reginald stared at her with lowered eyes.Was she planning to pick it up and eat it?Some gazpacho had spilled under the dining table, and Heloise decided to get down and pick it up.She was going insane!Reginald, with a stern expression, pulled her out from under the table, gripping her delicate wrist tightly. In a low voice, he said, "Just a maid died. If you're not feeling well, I'll avenge her for you."In his eyes, he would certainly deal with those who harmed the maid, but there was no need to distress herself to the point of eating the chilled gazpacho.Upon hearing this, her fingertips trembled as she turned to glare at him fiercely, her eyes like a little wolf about to devour someone.Just a maid died?She's just an abandoned baby even your biological parents didn't want.They're all just the scum of the slums, waiting to die, so why bother living?Why did she have to hear such things all her life, and on what grounds?Standing in front of her, Reginald
