You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 231 Something Isn’t Right About This Place
Calista had to leave to fetch her tools. Mr. Mysterious offered to prepare them for her, but she was more accustomed to using her own.The moment they left the manor, Yara grabbed her and whispered, "Something isn't right about this place, Calista. The housekeeper kept watching me as if I were a thief while I was in the living room downstairs. She even followed me to the washroom. Just a cursory sweep and I found at least five or more pinhole cameras around. There might even be invisible ones."The Quinn family owned a tech company. The cameras were things Yara was familiar with."If this is a legitimate job, why all the cameras? There's not a single blind spot. Even a mosquito wouldn't be able to fly in without being noticed."Calista's heart sank. She had been hoping the man would make things clear about her mother. It shouldn't have been hard for him to shed some light on the past.However, based on their exchange, the road ahead would no doubt be a tough one."Yeah."They be

Cade raised a brow."Tch."They hadn't personally participated in team-building activities before, they had seen them before. Games that required teamwork to complete were always a necessary part of every team-building event."Isn't this Paul's first time participating in a group activity like this? It seems exciting. When I head back, I should—"Before he could finish, Lucian suddenly walked away. He was so quick that Cade couldn't stop him.Calista had initially planned to go through the motions. If the ring fell, then so be it. But her coworkers on the same team were nervously cheering them on."Hold on, don't drop it. Just one more and we're done.""Let's go, Team A! You can do it, Team A! The prize depends on the two of you now! Steady!"Inspired by their drive, Calista steeled herself and developed a newfound sense of pride in their teamwork.She nervously aligned her straw with Paul's as they cooperated to shift the keyring from her end to his. The straw was very soft.

Both Paul and Hector followed after Lucian dragged Calista away. Cade got up. He and Paul were friends. Stopping him wasn't an option. But, it was still possible for him to stall Hector.So, he took a step forward and stood in Hector's way. He smiled politely. Even his expression seemed courteous."Can we talk, Mr. Calloway?"Hector narrowed his eyes. His head was casually cocked to one side as he grinned."Sure. What do you want to talk about? Cammie?"Cade stared at him. Compared to his previous demeanor, he was now acting noticeably colder."What did you just call her?" "Cammie. The Yorksworths and Calloways are family friends. We visit each other during holidays and special occasions. I was the one to help her get acquainted with Capeton when she was first brought home to the Yorksworth family."Cade didn't know this. The Carters and Yorksworths shared a good relationship. But the Calloways weren't part of the same circle.Moreover, Hector had left for the military academ

Though it was referred to as an observation deck, it was an open space of roughly 1000 square feet paved by cement.They arrived early, but the deck was already occupied by people who were also there to see the total lunar eclipse. They were here with full sets of equipment and bags piled high.In contrast, the empty-handed Lucian and Calista being around made it seem like they were being disrespectful to this rare astronomical spectacle.After an hour of hiking up the mountain, Calista had lost her initial excitement and was exhausted. She paid Lucian little attention. She instead found a relatively clean spot to sit and rest.However, even though the place had been vacant for a while, it wasn't entirely clean. The sun's rays could barely reach the ground.Chills would seep in if she sat like that, making her vulnerable to getting sick. Lucian took off his coat and gave it to her."Use this as a cushion. It's cold in the mountains."Calista was covered in sweat as they had just

The path was narrow, to begin with. With the crowd, it quickly got packed. Lucian hurriedly led Calista down the mountain with the flashlight of the person in front to guide their way.They couldn't use their phones for light unless necessary. If the battery ran out, they wouldn't be able to call for help even if something went wrong.Everyone else shared the sentiment. They had been there all afternoon. Their phone batteries were running low.Suddenly, Calista felt someone roughly hitting her on her right shoulder. It was a person behind who couldn't wait to rush forward.The mountain path was treacherous to begin with. Every step was taken with caution. Someone bumping into her had her stumbling into the nearby woods.Fortunately, Lucian had a firm grip on her. Despite the sudden turn of events, the man tightened his hold on her the moment she fell by the wayside.She didn't fall, but she twisted her ankle. Pain shot through her every time she moved. The delay had the group of

There was no sound behind him, leading Lucian to believe that Calista might have been upset by his words.He continued after pausing for a few seconds, "So, you're better off giving up on trying to get away from me."He heard nothing from her despite waiting for a long time. He frowned, found a steady position, and hefted the person on his back."Callie! Calista! Calista Everhart!"Despite his calls, the person on his back remained unresponsive.Lucian panicked and hurriedly set Calista down. He was usually a fussy rich man with clear standards for where the wrinkles should sit when ironing his clothes.But now, he was sitting on the muddy mountain path and cradling her in his arms.The woman's face was blue from the cold. Her disheveled hair clung to her face and her eyes were tightly shut. Rather than being upset at him, she seemed to have fainted from the cold.Lucian patted her face; his hands were already quite cold but Calista's face was even colder."Wake up, Callie. Ca
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 237 Have You Kicked the Bucket?
Calista felt them coming, but she couldn't muster the strength to look. On the other hand, Lucian's eyes remained sharp. He narrowed his eyes at the person who was traveling up the mountain path.It wasn't Cade. The person was alone and well-equipped with hiking equipment. He wore a specialized raincoat that was highly effective against blocking out the rain.His black military boots firmly gripped the slippery mountain trail as if it were a flat surface."Calista …"Seeing the half-conscious Calista held tightly in Lucian's arms, the man rushed to their side. It was Hector. Lucian's tense body finally relaxed.He asked, "Why are you alone?"Hector bent down to check on Calista and sneered when he heard Lucian's words."I'm here to see if you've kicked the bucket yet. If you're not dead, allow me to kick you down the mountain."Lucian said nothing. Hector fastened the flashlight to the buckle on his waist and reached out to take Calista out of Lucian's arms.Lucian instinctive

Cade was simply offering Lucian a solution. And now the latter decided to direct the problem back to him."What the fuck? This is a company phone. I run a film company. What's wrong with me having interviews with female artists?"Now, Cade wanted nothing more than to smash the phone into Lucian's face. Forget introducing him to someone. It'd be more appropriate to acquaint him with Bigfoot.It was already late at night by the time Lucian got to the hospital. The nurse helped look into Calista's ward number."It's past visiting hours, sir. Please come back tomorrow morning if you want to visit the patient. Otherwise, you would be disturbing the other patients in the ward."Just as she finished, he noticed someone leaving the ward. It was Hector fetching some water with a thermos in hand. Lucian frowned and pointed at the man."What is he doing here then?"The nurse, intimidated by his imposing presence, craned her neck in the direction he pointed at."He's a family member acting

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 860 Getting a Divorce at City Hall
Fabian said, "Mr. Ackerman was taken away by the Office of Inspector General this morning. Madam Cameron and the Bark family are reportedly the ones responsible."The Carter Group hadn't broken any laws, nor had they been financially entangled with the Ackermans for over a decade. Still, the long-standing ties between the two families ran deep. If Victor Ackerman had skeletons in his closet, Cade would have a hard time avoiding the fallout.Cade propped his hand against his cheek. "What about my wife?""Madam Cameron…" Fabian had to steel himself to answer Cade. "Madam Cameron left the country. She applied for a long-term visa."Even with reporters hounding him, that sentence rang loud and clear in Cade's ears.A long silence stretched before he let out a quiet, bitter laugh.He had never realized how much Cameron had orchestrated behind his back. The Ackermans or the media could trip him up for now, but her betrayal cut deeper. Every move had been calculated.And the most absur
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 859 Something Happened, Mr. Carter
Cade crossed the room as Cameron, already seated, leaned her cheek against her hand, skimming the menu. "Want a drink?" she asked casually.His heart skipped a beat.Cameron's appearance radiated deliberate perfection. From her flawlessly styled hair and expertly applied makeup to her impeccable outfit and carefully chosen accessories, every detail was considered. Even her expensive "Allure" perfume hinted at a desire to captivate.A private dining room meant for couples with only spouses in each other's company…Given the setup, sharing a drink seemed like an implicit invitation.Cade pressed his lips into a line, trying to ignore the rising curve of a smile. "Sure," he replied, his tone deceptively even. "We'll start with two bottles of Magnolia's Pulpit," Cameron said.Cade choked on his water, coughing as he asked, "Seriously?"Who would start a date with such a strong distilled spirit? With two bottles, no less.Cameron propped up her chin and raised an eyebrow. "Is that
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 858 Let Me Treat You to a Meal
Cameron stared at her screen, where Gale had just sent a single word. "Ready." Her lips curled up involuntarily.Cade noticed the smile. He didn't know who she was messaging, but it irritated him for some reason. After a long pause, he exhaled slowly and asked, "What if the Ackermans refuse to settle?"Cameron didn't bother to answer. She knew Violet and Victor would soon be in hot water, so she hadn't considered the aftermath. However, to Cade, her silence only confirmed his assumptions—she was reckless, unprepared, and acting purely on emotion. He clenched his jaw and finally stopped holding his breath. Then, suddenly, he pulled the car over with a sharp twist of the wheel. "Did you think it through before turning yourself in? What if the psych evaluation comes back clean, and the Ackermans insist on pressing charges? What then? You hurt Mirabelle badly. You think you'll have it easy in prison with the way they dote on her?" In contrast to Cade's exasperation, Cameron remaine
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 857 What Do You Plan to Do?
With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 856 Can’t Take It Anymore?
Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft
