"I'll pay you guys since I've promised," Jason stated as he took three consecutive drags of his cigarette. "Do it!""Okay!" they agreed and proceeded to carry the sack to the river.Unexpectedly, a sudden gust of strong wind swept over them just as they took a few steps.The wind emitted a piteous, ghost-like wail, feeling like sharp blades against their skin and chilling them to the bone.The two men halted abruptly, rubbing their eyes because sand blew into them."Damn!" One of the men cursed, "Where the hell did this freezing wind come from? Got sand in my eyes."Another man quickly set Liora down to rub his own eyes."It hurts like hell. What's with this intense wind?"Jason fared no better, the sand in his eyes causing him agony and tears.As he finally managed to open his eyes, the scene before him caused him to widen them abruptly.-Half an hour later, Tyler and his men rushed to the location captured by the surveillance camera near the river.He stopped in his trac

"Do you hate me? You must hate me for hurting Chester, right?" asked Kenny softly. Liora said, "Indeed. However, I don't hate you for doing that, but I'm angry.""He made you sad. I regard you as my own daughter and can't bear to see you being bullied by others, not even a little."Liora's smile faded. "Encountering conflicts is inevitable in life. Are you going to intervene every time I have an issue with someone? Your actions aren't helping me. They're spoiling me and hurting others."Let me ask you this: do you think I'd allow others to bully me? Have I ever lost a quarrel before? Tonight is an exception, of course."Kenny remained silent once again.His silence spoke volumes in response to Liora's question."Uncle Kenny, you should be well aware of the consequences of your actions," Liora pressed."Yes, I know I'll be punished severely in hell," Kenny responded."How can I repay your kindness when your actions make me feel more restrained than protected?" Liora lamented.

Kenny said, "Which specific event are you referring to?"Caroline wiped her tears and chuckled. "Remember when you found a rat in your studio? Everyone wanted to kill it, but you scooped it up in your palms and told us it was a living creature. You said it would be a pity to hurt it. The employees thought you were mad, but you didn't care about their opinions. You freed the rat. Do you still remember that incident?""Carol, what are you trying to say? Just say it." Kenny's tone gradually turned cold.Caroline continued. "If you plan to hang around Lia, can you please refrain from hurting the people around her? Everyone faces challenges in life. If you continue to intervene, it will only hinder Lia's growth.""It all comes down to Chester in the end," Kenny stated."Whether it's about Chester or someone else, what you consider good intentions may not be perceived as such," Caroline replied.Kenny's eyes glistened. "Are you suggesting that what I think may not align with what Lia t

It was a Saturday, so everyone was home. Caroline smilingly beckoned Liora and Siobhan to come for breakfast after seeing them. Liora's phone rang just as the two of them sat down. She had lost her old phone, and Axel provided her with a new one yesterday. She grabbed her phone and picked up Chester's call. "Hello?""Lia, is that you?" Chester sounded very anxious. Liora was stunned. "It's me…"Chester's sigh of relief was heard on the phone. "It's great that you're back safely."Liora blinked and regained her composure. "Didn't anyone tell you that I came back yesterday?""Everyone was busy, so it's normal that they didn't inform me. I was just waiting for your message," said Chester. Liora felt awkward. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were also waiting for me…""No worries, as long as you're alright. Do you have any plans for today?" Chester asked. Liora said, "Yes, I'll probably be busy in the next two days, but I'll come and visit you first before I get bus

It was Siobhan's first time visiting a funeral home, so she strolled around the place out of curiosity. Liora ordered Isaac to move some offerings out of storage while she called up the factory to deliver more than a dozen bags of coins to her.Isaac asked, "Lia, where are we going to move these items to?"Liora said, "We definitely can't do it at home. We'll go and find a place in the afternoon, somewhere slightly remote.""I know a place. It's not a residential area but a place at my classmate's house."Liora and Siobhan trusted Isaac very much. -When they followed Isaac to the place with the items they packed, Liora was livid as soon as she took one glance at the place. Even Siobhan was shocked. Liora pointed at the pigsty and said, "So this is the place at your friend's house that you meant?""Why? The pigsty is no longer in use! It used to be a small-scale pig farm! It's quiet in the surroundings, with no one to disturb us. It will be convenient for us to work, and ab
