Vivian’s heart ached too, but she couldn’t cry. Not only was she not allowed to cry, but she also had to maintain feigning indifference. She pulled out a piece of tissue paper and handed it over to Renne. “This was just a misunderstanding,” she explained calmly, “No one expected for it to turn out this way. Edward had no idea that you and I were acquainted when he wanted to marry you. Likewise, I didn’t know that you were his fiancée until you were about to make it official.”“Mm, you are all i
“You’ve got the wrong person!” Vivian snarled. After turning her body sideways to avoid the man’s grubby hands, she leaned against the wall and tried to get away. However, the man refused to let her go. He took a step forward and grabbed her arm to pull her back. As he placed his hand around her shoulders, a lecherous grin spread across his face and he said, “It’s impossible for me to be mistaken. You’re Miss Carraway. I’ve been thinking about you all the time, so don’t be so cold to me.” Vi
By the time she came around, she found herself in a room without any windows. The room was lavishly decorated, and even the walls and the door were padded. With her head still swimming, she forced herself to get down from the bed and went to open the door. Then, her heart sank. The door would not budge, and it appeared to her that it was locked from the outside. She reckoned that this must be Mr. Baker’s doing. Other than him, she could not think of anyone else who would abduct her at this mom
When Edward heard the report from Specky, his face took on a ghastly expression. Without sparing even a glance at Renne, he turned around, went into his car, and sped towards the Golden South Club. When he arrived, the boss of the club was there as well. The moment he set his sight on Edward, he quickly went up to him and said, “Mr. Levin, I’ve already asked them to check all the surveillance cameras. They will surely find something.” As he said, he led Edward towards the security room. Severa
There was a river that wound through Golden South City. Since most people preferred to live by the river, the developer built plenty of villas and mansions built around the area. Most of the wealthy people or business tyrants would own one or two villas there.No sooner had Edward arrived at Morris’s villa than Morris’s secretary reached as well. The secretary hastily got out of his car with fear written all over his face. As he made his way towards Edward, he tripped several times, and it took
After that, he closed the door, turned around, and marched back towards the villa. Specky went forward and tried to halt him in his tracks. He said, “Please calm down, Ed. We shouldn’t do anything rash right now. Baldie is already teaching him a lesson. Don’t worry. We won’t let him go so easily.” “Let go!” Edward reinstated coldly. Specky knew that if he let Edward go, he would certainly go and end Morris’s life. To prevent this from happening, he could just hold him even tighter. “Ed, thin
Vivian had no grasp of how long she had been in slumber. The last thing she saw before closing her eyes was the gloomy, dark sky. By the time she woke up, it was still the same tenebrous hue.The female doctor, who had been attending to her wounds, loomed and asked softly, “How are you feeling?”Instead of answering her question, Vivian scanned her surroundings sluggishly.Perceptive to a fault, the doctor quickly offered, “Mr. Levin is in the study right now. I can ask him to come around.”“No
Vivian nodded. After a beat, she asked, “Was it you?”His lips curled. “Yes.”“Through hired hands?”He shook his head without breaking his smile. “No. I did it myself. Used up all of my magazine clips, that one.”Shock dawned on her face while he leaned closer and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “Don’t fret,” he said under his breath, “I have an alibi. They won’t catch me.”Nonetheless, the cops might not apprehend Edward due to lack of evidence, but it did not mean that the Baker family wa
