Paul immediately noticed something was wrong with Calista. He grabbed her hand just as she was about to run from him."What's wrong?" David was anxious as he saw Calista's gaze swept past them from a distance."It seems like Mrs. Northwood saw you." Their actions were considered stalking, weren't they? Lucian frowned."No, she wasn't looking at me." As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw Calista whipping her hand out of Paul's grip. She ran toward a place with fewer people. "Stop her," Lucian ordered David. Paul was stunned for a second, then he immediately went after her. But there were a lot of people on the streets. Calista disappeared from his sight as she blended into the crowd. Calista's gaze was fixated on the slender figure, who wasn't far away from her. She was of average height, around five feet four.She moved swiftly through the crowd, occasionally revealing the profile that Calista was so familiar with. The woman was dressed in a body-con dress, wit

"I'm not betting with you," said Calista.She wouldn't bother to waste her time on such an idle matter. "Then come and eat with me now," Lucian remarked.Calista was at a loss for words.She reached for her phone subconsciously as she wanted to call Paul to let him know she was safe. Only did she realize her phone wasn't with her as she reached for it.When Paul was grabbing her earlier on, he also took hold of her bag strap. She tossed him her bag as she was struggling to get away from him. Paul was searching the streets for Calista. David followed him closely."Mr. Baker, Mr. Northwood just texted me. Mrs. Northwood was a bit frightened, so he took her back to the hotel first." Paul halted his steps. He turned around and looked at David."Did Lucian lure her away?" David swore to him."No way. Mr. Northwood just happened to see what happened so he went after her. If he knew there was a person who'd trigger such a huge reaction in Mrs. Northwood, he would've sent this

Calista knew Lucian was probably full, but she didn't know he was that full. And she didn't expect him to be dumb to the extent that he only voiced out when he could no longer take it.She subconsciously wanted to head toward him, but she halted. She turned around and went to the mart nearby to buy some water.When Calista came out, Lucian had finished vomiting. He was standing there with an unbearable expression. She handed him the water."Sorry. But if you can no longer take it, you can just say so. There's no need to act tough." Lucian took the water. He rinsed before he slowly gulped in the water. His arched neck created an elegant line, and his slightly protruding Adam's apple shifted up and down with each swallow. Through the slightly open collar of the shirt, his collarbones were faintly revealed.With the dazzling neon lights and ink-blue sky behind him, he looked as captivating as a carefully crafted painting from any angle.Calista stared at him. The words Lucian sa
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 257 Keeping a Dog Called Lucian
The one who was staring at her was … Lucian.It was unclear how long he had been sitting there. He was still dressed in how he was when they were at the tourist hotspot earlier.He sat there alone, with a translucent glass in his hand. Under the dim lights, the amber-colored liquid cast speckles of light on his fingers. Lucian stood out. His appearance, figure, the way he carried himself and his expensive clothing that anyone could tell at first glance attracted lots of attention from his surroundings. There were a lot of women doing prostitution in this bar. Several types of women were present, be it the seductive ones, conservative ones, innocent ones, dominant ones—you name it.Some of them were chatting away together, some were wandering around in the bar with a glass in their hands.Once they had their eyes on someone or someone was interested in them, they'd sit down and chat the night away. Calista wasn't here for too long, but she'd already seen a few of them as the
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 258 How Much for the Night
As Calista got up, Paul followed her up as well."I'll see you off.""There's no need for that, Mr. Baker. You can carry on drinking with them. It's just downstairs, so you don't have to see me off."Earlier, when Shawn asked Paul whether it was okay for her to drink, it was an attempt to categorize her as Paul's partner.Though she knew she might be overthinking it, it was still better to avoid any potential misunderstandings. Since it's impossible, she should make herself clear. It's better to not give mixed signals as in rejecting verbally but acting the opposite.This created a false impression that she could be won over with just some more effort.Sometimes, having feelings for another person was self-hypnotizing in a certain way.Due to one's indecisiveness which in turn gave the other party the wrong signals, leading them deeper into self-hypnotization. It was the same concept as fishing. If you fed the fish too much, they wouldn’t take the bait. But, you couldn’t not

Lucian was expressionless as he lifted his leg, and stepped on Kyle without any hesitation. He didn't start with great force, but the slow and steady pressure he exerted to and fro made it unbearably painful. The gradually deepening force made Kyle could only focus on that spot.But Lucian stood there, looking calm and composed. Aside from his emotionless eyes, there wasn't any sign of emotional fluctuation. He could even be deemed as elegant. If judged solely by his face, no one would ever associate this gruesome act with his current expression."Argh—"Kyle's shriek echoed through the elevator, resembling the squeal of a slaughtered pig. Although Calista wasn't a man, she somehow could feel the pain herself as well. Her legs even straightened involuntarily. Kyle struggled to push Lucian's leg away, attempting to free himself from Lucian's crushing force on his penis. But no matter how hard he tried, Lucian didn't budge an inch. Thus, his series of agonizing screams ec
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 260 Occasionally Have Desires
Paul rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "Although men … uh … occasionally have certain desires, Lucian …"It was a first for him to discuss this topic with someone, and what's more that someone was the woman he was after. It was really hard for him to bring up."He probably wouldn't resort to hiring a prostitute. Besides, that woman … she didn't seem like his usual type."But it turned out that Paul had guessed it wrongly. The woman didn't come out again. Given Lucian's personality, he would've kicked her out in the first place if he wasn't interested. Paul shot Calista a worried look."Calista …"Calista beamed at him. There wasn't a single trace of sorrow on her face."You've had a long day too. Go back to your room and rest. Don't we have to go explore the building's interior tomorrow?"After Calista bid goodbye to Paul, she closed the door. As she passed by the desk, she picked up her phone and switched to an unregistered SIM card.She called the police and explained wha

"They're just being polite, it's not like they're asking you to report it."Such messages were not received in Apthon before. Every city has its dark secrets, as long as it doesn't surface into the light, only a small number of people are aware of it.However, a few incidents recently occurred in Apthon, particularly a heinous act where a woman was openly assaulted, and some kind of criminal force was involved.This incident had gained nationwide attention, resulting in heightened vigilance. This hotel seemed to be boldly flouting the law.Lucian furrowed his brows. His stern gaze was fixated on Calista. In this moment, the authority and pressure of one in power were vividly displayed by Lucian."If I can investigate, surely others can as well. If they dare to do something like this, they certainly have backers."Calista knew this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have changed her SIM card before making the call. However, she must've been too content with her life, as she had grown compla

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
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 854 Moving Back to the Master Bedroom
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
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 853 I'm Sorry Cameron
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
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 852 Murderer
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
