In front of the Warde Manor.A large crowd of reporters surrounded Cole."Colette, I'm your brother. Come out and see me!""Dad left your engagement party last night and hasn't returned. Where did he go?""Colette, I've only been here for a few days. I'm not familiar with this place. You know Youngville well. Can you ask someone to help find him? Has something happened to him?"...Colette and Zachary's engagement party the previous night had caused quite a stir, and it made headlines in the news.Not only did reporters know about it, but gossip lovers online were also aware of what had happened.Upon hearing Cole's words, the reporters sensed a scoop and eagerly thrust their microphones toward him."Sir, who is the person you're calling out? Is it Colette?""What's your relationship with her? And what does she have to do with your dad?""Did your father disappear after meeting her? Have you reported it to the police?"Some reporters took photos, and those with quick minds
The gates of the Warde Manor were tightly shut, leaving Nicole, Zachary, and the group of reporters stranded outside.Zachary, now a controversial figure, was quickly surrounded by reporters."Mrs. Harper, Mr. Zachary, any comments on the hotel incident from last night?""Are you here to apologize in person?""Mr. Zachary, between Yvette and Colette, who would you choose?"As the journalist posed the question, a sly smile played on his lips. His expression was a mix of schadenfreude and mockery.Regardless of Yvette or Colette, both had tarnished reputations now. Even if someone were to choose between them, that someone wouldn't favor either.Zachary's face shifted between pale and blue. He aggressively swatted away the reporter's microphone and pointed at him. "Choose? I won't choose either! Do you even know who I am? What's your name? Which newspaper company are you from? Believe me. I can make you gone!"Zachary looked menacing and seemed like he had taken some kind of subst
The intense confrontation between Colette and Nicole suddenly came to a halt.In that brief moment of distraction, Colette's face was slashed, leaving a long bloodstain.The wound was deep, and blood quickly began to flow.However, Colette seemed oblivious to the pain. She forcefully pushed Nicole away and looked at Cole. "What did you just say?"Cole pointed to the television. "I saw the news just now. It's Dad. He's been covered with a white cloth and taken away. Take me to him!"Colette pushed Cole away and turned to Elizabeth.Elizabeth watched the TV with a pale face. She seemed mentally absent."Colette, Dad and I stayed at the hotel for a long time last night. He suddenly left. He said he wanted to do something interesting to change his fate. Do you know where he went? Where is Fort Town? Why would Dad go there?"Cole bombarded her with questions, but Colette seemed not to hear any of them.All she did was stare at the television with a look of fear in her eyes.How co
Elizabeth and Colette rushed toward Ginny.Elizabeth held Ginny's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue while Colette forcefully restrained her body.Meanwhile, the servants hurriedly brought towels and stuffed them into Ginny's opened mouth.Everyone acted in sync, and it was evident that this was not their first time dealing with such a situation.The entering reporters were initially bewildered. When they realized what was happening, they raised their cameras and started taking pictures.Ginny, in her seizure, seemed highly sensitive to the cameras. Her eyes rolled back, and her expression became more contorted.Elizabeth shouted at the reporters, "No photos! No more pictures! Stop taking pictures!"The police intervened in the matter by preventing the reporters from getting closer. "Didn't you hear? No more photos! You're obstructing official business!"The reporters reluctantly put down their cameras upon hearing the charge.Nicole's face lit up with satisfaction. S
Westshore Manor.Victoria sat on the living room balcony while basking in the sun. She was watching live broadcasts on her tablet while talking to Tilly on the phone.Various fruits were arranged on the small coffee table in front of her, and Benjamin was sitting across from her."Hahaha, Vicky, I'm dying of laughter. My stomach is cramping. Why am I so happy?"Victoria found it amusing as well. Still …"Is it that funny?""Isn't it hilarious? Where did Colette get the nerve? Clearly, she's the fake one, but she mocks you as a country bumpkin. This is karma! Vicky, have you read the comments? Check them out. The comments are more entertaining than the live broadcast. Internet users nowadays are pretty interesting!"What's wrong with Colette's face? Why does she look like a pig's head? Did a pig kiss her? With Colette being so disgusting and hypocritical, even pigs wouldn't want to kiss her."Vicky, did Zachary really pee himself? Can someone really be scared to that extent? He'
Yves was confused. "Did he leave early? We agreed to meet at six, but he hasn't shown up yet."Suddenly, a bad feeling struck Victoria.Yves suggested, "Why don't you call the driver who was supposed to take him? Could it be Quinton? I'll call him now to check where they are."In a shaky voice, Victoria replied, "Quentin hasn't been around lately. I'm going downstairs to see who's driving."Benjamin had been staying at Westshore Manor recently. It was Quinton who handled most of the external matters. He only visited to have Benjamin sign important documents.Victoria felt lost. She stood up from the sofa and rushed downstairs without even putting on her shoes.Yves could feel the nervousness and concern in Victoria's voice through the phone. He tried to reassure her, "Mrs. B, don't worry. Youngville is Benjamin's territory. Nothing will happen to him. Do you want to call Ethan and ask about it?""It's unlikely that Ethan is involved. I'll check who's driving downstairs. I'll cal
Victoria hung up on Ethan and immediately called Benjamin. Still, no one answered.She paced around the living room while biting her finger. Suddenly, she remembered Benjamin's abnormality after meeting with Elizabeth. She hurriedly called Elizabeth.Elizabeth regretted calling Benjamin and what she said to him.She sat on the bed in her room while feeling extremely anxious.Suddenly, her phone rang. Elizabeth startled.She picked up the phone and saw Victoria's caller ID displayed on it.For the past few months, Elizabeth had hoped Victoria would call to mend their relationship.Finally, Victoria called.However, she was too guilty to pick it up.Elizabeth sighed at the thought of Ginny. She answered the phone hesitantly but with a last flicker of hope."Did you call Benjamin today?"Victoria got straight to the point. She didn't waste any words.Elizabeth didn't answer her question.Silence implied that she did.Victoria questioned, "What did you say to him? "Elizab
Benjamin seemed to be agitated by the amount of people trying to hold him down. His eyes turned red as his gaze was full of hostility.He looked like a wild beast.The Harper family's doctor stood before him. There was a big injection needle in his hand. His expression was anxious as he said, "Hold him. Hold him down."He went up and injected something in Benjamin's neck.But it was as if something was wrong with his veins, and the needle couldn't get through it.Benjamin shouted out in pain. The seven to eight bodyguards, who had managed to pin him down, flew across the room.The doctor had also fallen to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood after being crushed under two bodyguards.The injection needle in his hand had also pierced one of the bodyguards lying on him. The small dosage managed to sedate the big man in a second.The amount of sedation in the injection was enough to sedate an elephant.The rest of the bodyguards and the doctor widened their eyes in disbeli
