"You mind your own business," Reginald instantly tightened his grip on her, his voice hoarse and muffled. "Hyacinth Garden is my place. I love sleeping here, sleep here if I want, and sleep with you if I desire."He left, heading back to the Wordsworth’s.He can't sleep.Just wants to sleep beside her."..."Heloise ignored him, but Reginald persisted. His warm, thin lips slowly kissed her face in the darkness, trailing along the curve of her jaw and capturing her lips.His leg pressed against hers, causing Heloise a knee pain. She bit her lip, enduring the pain silently. She was accustomed to enduring pain.Reginald noticed, his hand sliding down, palm covering her knee. "Still hurting?""Yeah."Heloise didn't deny it; it indeed hurt."I'll take you back to the Wordsworth’s for a hot spring bath," Reginald suggested."No need, I want to sleep."She didn't care for the tactics of slapping and then offering a sweet. Heloise closed her eyes but found the hand on her knee slowly moving,
Heloise is quite ruthless.Abel is extremely hurt, looking at the pile of letters, "Aren't you going to take a look? These are all confessions from young men."Heloise sat there, impatiently pulled out a pen from her pencil case, removed the cap, and stabbed it into the desk. She did it gently, but the entire pen tip went into the table.Just like that, it went in!"..."Abel was shocked, his hair standing on end. The pain from that night at the night market instantly dominated him again. He quickly stood up to pack the boxes, preparing to leave.Suddenly, as if remembering something, Heloise turned her eyes towards him. "Are many people paying attention to me in school now?""Of course!" Abel excitedly exclaimed, "You exposed a member of parliament! Now everyone in the school knows your name. Your name is all over the first eight pages of the school forum, with threads carrying your name."Heloise held her book, looked outside for a moment, and saw both male and female students stari
At the lakeside, the bodyguards respectfully bowed their heads and courteously escorted her into the bridge corridor, leading her all the way to the pavilion in the center of the lake.The pavilion was situated in the middle of the lake, with a gentle breeze and a refreshing atmosphere. The view was also very expansive.Heloise, holding a book, walked over. As she approached, she saw a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the pavilion.The man was well-dressed, with a commanding presence. Despite being in his middle years, his features remained profound and handsome. He hooked his lips when he looked at her, but there was a hint of sharpness in his expression.His silhouette bore some resemblance to Reginald, but Reginald's eyes were a deep gray, while this man's eyes were jet black.Heloise had seen his photo when she was checking the Wordsworth’s Consortium records. He was Ryan Wordsworth, the former president of the Wordsworth’s
"That's how it is," Ryan said nonchalantly. "A son who forces his own father to step down at gunpoint, a son who could turn mad at any moment – what use do I have for them? I still have a son, an obedient and healthy one, to whom I can pass everything."Heloise was rendered speechless, contemplating the genetic diseases in the Gonzalez family. She saw Ryan as another madman in the family.Ryan continued, "Once Reginald is dead, I can regain control of Wordsworth’s Consortium and become your most powerful ally."Heloise, with a cold tone, responded, "A protector who kills his own son, I dare not rely on."Ryan saw through everything. "Miss ThankGod, you are so clever. Did you record our conversation? I allowed you to record it. You can keep it as leverage against me. I won't expose the matter of killing my son publicly. What better way to ensure your freedom than this?"He is a negotiation master, isn't he?Heloise was impressed.
This is not acceptable at all. They have no idea how Heloise plans to make her move. Whether the Master gave her a gun or poison, will she strike when he's sleeping? How is there the time to save him?"I've given her a chance once, so I'll repay her once, consider it entertaining her." Reginald placed the handgun aside, took off his protective glasses, and said casually.He wanted her to know that no method could escape him, and he also wanted her to know that as long as she didn't leave, he could pamper her to death.Where is it heard of risking one's life to please a woman? Ben was completely speechless. "Mr. Wordsworth, this won't work...""If I ask you to do, just do it. Why so much nonsense!" Reginald gave him a disgusted look.At this point, Ben had nothing more to say and could only lower his head. "Yes, I'll find the best medical team to stand by outside Hyacinth Garden."Ben stepped back.Reginald stood there, disassembling t
Late at night.Reginald took a rather long shower, hands pressed against the wall, his well-defined arm muscles evident. The shower sprayed down, washing over a sharply defined face and a body with clear muscle lines.The water was icy, devoid of any warmth.After a long while, he turned off the shower and casually picked up the bathrobe hanging nearby.In the bedroom, Heloise sat at the bedside reading a book. The soft yellow light fell on the pages, casting a warm glow on each one.Suddenly, a shadow loomed, swallowing all the light.The next moment, her chin was lifted, and as she looked up, she saw Reginald leaning over her, one hand propped on the bedpost. He bent down, looking at her. Droplets fell from his slightly disheveled wet hair, hanging on his eyelashes like tears.He exuded a cold aura, his almost otherworldly eyes seeming to penetrate her body. He gazed for a long time, then lowered his head, kissing her lips with a do
The cigarette burned out, and Reginald crushed it under his foot, extinguishing the faint glow. "I've always thought that Ryan brought that woman back to stimulate my mother, to make her sick, and then eliminate her righteously.""..."Heloise sat there in silence, listening attentively."After my mother died, Ryan became completely unrestrained. He married that woman, sent the newborn me and my sister to Hyacinth Garden, and instructed the servants to torment us. Perhaps he wanted us, two children with a genetic predisposition for mental illness, to die early. This way, Ryan's life would be completely free of any blemish."Reginald spoke slowly, pointing ahead to a small courtyard. "I've told you about what happened next. My sister died in that spot, right there.""..."Heloise followed the direction he pointed, as if she could see the snowy night of that evening, the young and beautiful girl standing there, ending her sorrowful life.
He shouldn't let his child go through what he went through.Listening to this, Heloise had to admit that Reginald's decision was quite wise. If the child born had the same concerns about their genes as he did, it could torment them for a lifetime. Besides, she had never thought about having children for him. So, taking birth control pills was the safest and most advantageous option for both of them."Is there no cure for this illness?" Heloise skipped the topic of children and asked."Do I, Reginald, not have the money? If there were a cure, wouldn't I have taken it?" Reginald replied."But what about the Gonzalezes? Surely, among them, there are people who have never been sick for their whole lives?" Heloise inquired again.At this, Reginald's gaze deepened. "Yes, there are people who have never been sick for their entire lives. As long as they don't get sick, they are no different from normal people.""Then, isn't that fine?"Helois
