Heloise grabbed a skewer of grilled squid and opened her mouth for a big bite.The spicy sauce on the tender squid whiskers was so rich and flavorful that it nearly exploded in her mouth.It tasted much better than the wild snakes she had caught and grilled at BlueWolf Mountain.As Heloise ate, some words came to her mind – The world was well worth living.When she thought about it, there were always more solutions than difficulties she was confronted with when one lived in the world, and she could surely think of a way to survive on her own in the country and get out of Hyacinth Garden safely and securely.Reginald could not stay with her for long.It was no problem for her to be a substitute for somebody, but she was afraid that one day she would be caught pretending to be a psychotic, and with Reginald's unforgiving attitude towards those people on BlueWolf Mountain, she worried that she would die of a bullet piercing her chest like those poor men.Maybe worse, probably she'd be ly
She ordered so much that the whole dining table could not hold those dishes.She ate slowly and methodically, without a slight distraction.In a little while, there was a mountain of sticks piled up next to her.She could really eat much more.The silver-haired guy licked his lips, "Oh, my! I cannot get Coral, but this chick is also quite good."Saying that, the silver-haired guy threw away the sticks in his hand, striding over towards Heloise, striking a pose that he thought was extremely handsome, "Hey, girl, you ordered too much, you can’t finish them, right? I can help you, OK?"Heloise had disposable gloves on her hands, and had just finished dealing with a spicy crab. When she heard this, she faintly swept him a glance, "Are you going to pick me up?"Hearing this, the companions of the silver-haired guy all booed and heckled.The silver-haired guy's eyes lit up, he immediately sat down beside her, closer to her, one hand on her shoulder and touched it, "Girl, you’re very smart.
Saying that, Heloise snatched his cellular phone and snapped a shot of herself for ID purposes."Huh?"The silver-haired guy was thoroughly confused.Did an innocent girl like her have such a hell of an ugly name?"What, do you have any problem with that?" Heloise asked coldly."No, no, no, Auntie, you calling this name is simply rich and delicious!"The silver-haired guy was about to pass out from the pain. How dared he contradict her?"Six days later, at 10:00 pm, give me what I want at the 6th floor of Friendship mall, if you would not arrive then ......"Heloise paused there and smiled at him before pulling out the skewer with one hand and taking the cellular phone away from his pocket with the other, saying word for word, "You will be dead."The cellular phone was used as a collateral.The silver-haired guy screamed in pain, "Yes, Yes, Yes, I will! I am Abel, I promise I will definitely reach there at that time!""That's good." Heloise didn't think much of it. "Clear the bill for
Two bouncers stood in front of each stall.In an instant, all the things, including tables, chairs, and floors were cleaned and sanitized, covered with elegant tablecloths."Mr. Wordsworth, my friends all say I'm weird, I am not crazy about top- brand bags or jewelries, but I just like to come to the snack market."A woman's voice suddenly came, so crunchy charming that it made people dizzy.Heloise couldn't help but glance up to see two people nearby walking towards this way.The man was really tall, more than six feet, even the long coat couldn't cover his long arms and legs. He had a handsome and flawless face, with a stern look between his brows and eyes, and he had an extremely strong aura. It is Reginald.The woman, who wore pretty much next to nothing, stuck to him as she had no bones all over her body, and she was almost completely hanging on his arm.Heloise wondered if she was a handicapped person.As it turned out, Reginald had brought the woman here for a snack.Unfortunat
Upon hearing this, the woman glared hatefully at Heloise, "I did NOT ask you to deliver the food!"It was not the very time to serve the meal, for this woman had something important to do now, and she hated Heloise’s guts.The woman was very unwilling to give up, half lying there, then her soft slender hand directly hooked Reginald's neck, and her red lips leaned over, her eyes fully ambiguous, "Mr. Wordsworth, I only want to eat you now ......"Hearing this, Reginald violently stood up. He reached out and grabbed the woman's red skirt and lifted it upwards.Was it about to put on an obscene show?Heloise couldn't retract her sight in time so as to see the woman's whole body being lifted over and she was flying out."Shoo."A perfect arc was drawn in the air.The dinner plates also followed and flew out.Heloise, who was standing the closest, even silently caught a few sweet-smelling meat skewers by hand in the air.All the bodyguards turned their heads."Bang."The woman hit the grou
She knew it was very important to butter up people. Everyone enjoyed it, not excepting Reginald."Heh, is it true?"Reginald gave a meaningful chuckle in a low voice, and Heloise was not sure whether he believed it or not. The pistol whirled handsomely around his fingertips, and he retrieved it from her forehead, and tossed it to Ben."Let’s go to Hyacinth Garden."Finally, he had left.Heloise lifted the peaked cap on her head and glanced toward Reginald's back.The light of the night market was colorful and chaotic, illuminating Reginald's tall back shadow, with the illusion of a hellish demon reappearing on earth.Heloise's legs suddenly got a little weak.This man was horrible.But wait a minute.Hyacinth Garden?Was he going to Hyacinth Garden?Heloise's brain went blank. If he went back now, he would realize she wasn't even there. Would she be killed by him?But she could not flee and hide. Because if she fled, it would be harder to survive, and she would be hunted by Reginald,
"......"Heloise's eyes widened in shock.What did that mean?She didn't think the woman in his mouth was Harriet and Jane, was she?But she was just a replacement for his deceased sister. How could he have such a desire......Ben, who was sitting in the car, was also shocked when he heard this, and sat in his seat for a while to slow down before he said embarrassedly, "Mr. Wordsworth's taste is really different."He likes psychotics?Well done.At those words, Reginald let out a low laugh, "Do you think I should get her? But if I do, I won't be able to keep taking on her as a substitute for my sis.""Huh?"Ben was a little confused. When had Mr. Wordsworth ever been so indecisive?"......"Heloise perked up her ears to hear Reginald's decision, only to wait and hear nothing.Reginald didn't speak again.That left a breath hanging in the back of her throat, not going up or down.Heloise curled up in the trunk and didn't move.She murmured in her heart.Reginald, please be a human. Don
The man went upstairs, step by step, reaching up and undoing his sapphire cufflinks, with all his movements elegant, and also exuding a kind of unshakable absolute authority from above."......"The two maids stood looking up from below, their hearts trembling with anxiety and their hands shaking involuntarily.Reginald reached the second floor, walking towards Heloise's room.As he got there, the door was pushed open.It was dark in the room, and a dead silence reigned everywhere.There wasn't even a sound of breathing.It was as if no one existed here.Reginald raised his hand and turned the light on, the bright light hitting the whole room at once.This was a purely Baroque-style bedroom, and there was a lump in the neatly spread gray quilt on the large bed.The young girl was lying there peacefully, her arms folded outside the quilt, wearing a pure white nightgown.Reginald walked over to the bed, seeing the girl's dark hair slightly disheveled, her beautiful face that was calm, h
"......" Heloise gave him a speechless look. Distracted for a moment, her character on the screen was shot in the head by Reginald, dying a heroic death.Reginald had aimed for this outcome. He turned to look at her, his mischievous gaze wandering up and down. "Strip."Today, he had suddenly proposed a game where for every round lost, she had to remove an article of clothing, with a one-hour time limit.Heloise didn't want to play, but he had persistently pestered her, not allowing her to do anything else until they played for an hour and only then would he let her go to the study to do her own work."......" Heloise straightforwardly took off her shoes, leaving her feet bare on the carpet.This wasn’t the effect he wanted.Reginald glanced at her small, fair feet and reached out to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature.The next round began.Heloise focused on the screen, maneuvering the controller with pre
"Suspect what?"Reginald wiped his hands with a hot towel, seeming to ask casually, as if he didn't care."With her abilities, it would be easier for her to make a mark in other circles. Yet she chose to endure hardships in the Legal Affairs Committee, where the network is already established. She’s been there for two months, and although she rose quickly, she's still just an assistant," Benjamin said."On one hand, she's willing to endure these hardships, and on the other hand, she's able to cultivate people under her into prominent figures in various fields in a short period. Do you think she has a grand ambition?"Those in high positions naturally have their sensitivities.Even though he admired Heloise, Benjamin couldn't help but think more deeply.Such a perceptive girl wouldn't do meaningless things; she must have her own calculations. She propels these people to become figures in various fields, and with more experience, they co
Someone passed by and first looked at her, screaming, with eyes that suggested she was crazy. Then, upon seeing the snake, they quickly fled.Why!Why couldn't she get close to Reginald? Why wasn't she the one to receive Reginald's special attention?She couldn't accept this outcome! She couldn't!She sat on the ground, tears quickly welling up, streaming down her face, overwhelmed with despair.…Ever since she had that candid conversation with Reginald on the football field, Heloise had become increasingly focused on her work in the Legal Affairs Committee.Heloise tackled each task with enthusiasm, consistently completing them with excellence. During this time, some colleagues tried to sabotage her, but she cleverly deflected their attempts. Similarly, higher-ups tested her abilities, but she passed each challenge with flying colors.Soon enough, everyone in the Legal Affairs Committee knew of her. Her path to promoti
Just as she finished typing, Heloise was suddenly embraced from behind by a pair of strong arms. Reginald leaned in from behind, his thin lips touching her ear, tracing along the contours of her earlobe, before suddenly taking it into his mouth and lightly licking it with the tip of his tongue.Heloise was tingling all over from his actions, wanting to break free but held tightly by him.Reginald's kisses quickly trailed over her neck and face, finally locking onto her lips with a strong possessiveness, probing deep, intimate, and ambiguous.He pressed his forehead against hers and hoarsely said, "Let me think."Heloise looked at him somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by letting him think? What was he thinking about?Perhaps because he had just showered, his eyes appeared unusually deep and moist under the light.It reminded her of the time at BlueWolf Mountain when a dolphin, accidentally washed ashore by the sea, lay there barely breathing
His voice carried a bewildering power, like a subtle electric current piercing through one's eardrums and directly into the heart.Heloise sat there, captivated by his voice, intimidated by his gaze, her mind momentarily blank.He said he would ensure all her affairs were smooth and worry-free for life. What a touching statement.Growing up, she had never received such a weighty promise.Heloise admitted to herself that she had been captivated. A hot wind passed before her eyes as she stared fixedly at Reginald in front of her.Behind him, the twilight light burst forth with vivid colors, suddenly breaking through."What, speechless from being moved?" Reginald looked at her, chuckling softly.Heloise looked at him. If she followed his temperament, she should express gratitude for being moved, or at least say thank you.But suddenly, she felt that continuing this way was not right."Thank you, Reginald," Heloise looked at
Reginald stood up from the ground, delivering heartless words.Tricia sat on the ground, her heart wrenched by his words.He couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she intentionally incited those people to target Heloise. Yet, despite this, he almost killed her for Heloise. She had risked her life for him!"Brother, has she ever saved you?" Tears streamed down her face as she asked softly.Reginald turned, buttoning his cuff and reaching for the watch on the table. His movement paused at her words before he put on the watch."How much has she sacrificed for you? Why is she the only one for you?" Tricia questioned as she watched his back.The only one for you.Reginald had never thought of those four words. To him, he was simply interested in Heloise. Every aspect of her fit his taste.Her presence filled the loneliness he had endured for over a decade. Was she really the only one for him?If it were someone else...
"Brother, wait for me." Tricia glanced at Heloise and softly called out, catching up to Reginald and brushing his arm with her finger.Reginald glanced at her sideways but didn't stop, continuing forward. Tricia walked alongside him.Heloise stood still, quietly watching the backs of the two, feeling a faint sense of strangeness pass through her heart. Her expression remained calm, showing little emotion.Is this going to be alright? It really caught her off guard.She thought that Tricia chasing after Reginald would take as long as rebuilding the slums.Once Reginald left, the guards followed suit, leaving the office to them.Heloise withdrew her gaze, carrying the documents into the office and sitting at her desk, ready to work. She tried to start her computer, but it showed a black screen.Heloise was annoyed. She clicked the mouse a couple of times, and large blocky characters began to flash on the screen."Miss me?"
"No."Reginald held her tightly.Heloise gritted her teeth and shrunk her body, slipping out from his arms.Reginald attempted to catch her, but failed. Irritated, he reached for her, pulling her towards him and kissing her forcefully. "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Let's continue playing."Heloise still wanted to break free, but Reginald pulled her back onto the bed and started fooling around with her.…In the office, colleagues remembered her heroic act of catching snakes and, understandingly, ceased their antagonism. This made Heloise's internship path particularly smooth.Her documents were impeccable, and there wasn't a single mistake in the legal texts she handled, which left her superiors very satisfied."This document contains the latest perfected laws for the slums. Once you've organized and verified it, we can make it public."The leader handed her a document.Heloise accepted it,
“Don't worry, I won't engage in such petty behaviors.”Another person expressed their stance to Heloise.“You saved us today. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on, making sure Adam and the others don't dare to act out again,” said several people around Heloise.“…”What's going on with these people? Weren't they trying to curry favor with her? How did they suddenly change sides in such a short time?Tricia stood there, her expression grim.Heloise sat calmly, raising her eyes to Tricia and giving a nonchalant “Oh.”Everyone followed her gaze to Tricia, and there was a moment of stiffness. This incident was somewhat related to Tricia, but she hadn't instructed them to go after Heloise.The atmosphere felt strangely tense.Soon, someone laughed nervously. “Tricia, you're back! You were lucky you weren't here earlier. Suddenly, the office was filled with snake
