She'd had to see that boy!Fortunately, Tom and his men had been too busy searching with their flashlights to notice Angelica trailing behind.When Angelica had reached the cliff, she had seen the little girl standing there. The boy had been nowhere in sight.Tom had put a hand on his bald head exasperatedly and spat on the ground. "Damn it! Things weren't supposed to turn out this way. Gah! Don't let this kiddo escape. Take her back!"After he had said that, several men had encircled the little girl and closed in on her. They'd had their eyes fixed on the little girl, eager to capture her.The girl had been frightened and kept shaking her head. She had retreated further until she had nearly reached the cliff's edge. Then, she had suddenly lost her footing and fell off the cliff. "Ah!"Angelica had heard her tragic scream echo throughout the night sky.In the present, Angelica snapped back from her thoughts and frowned.The little girl from bac

Chapter 362 Henry's Heartless Facade

Nicole had been holding Henry's hand. Thus, when his fingers moved, she instantly woke up.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Henry stirring and waking up. The tension that had been gripping her heart these past few days finally eased.She hugged Henry, feeling both excited and relieved. Her eyes reddened, and tears fell uncontrollably."Henry, you're awake! You're finally awake! This is great ... You have no idea how worried I was!"Henry furrowed his brows.

Chapter 363 Unbridled Love

Celia pushed Norman out of the hospital."Don't worry, Nicole. Henry might be in a bad mood because of his injury. Once Uncle Fletcher arrives and treats his leg, you two can have a good talk," Celia comforted.Nicole's eyes were red as she nodded and said, "Okay.""I'll call Uncle Fletcher and ask when he'll be arriving." Celia took out her phone and dialed Joaquin's number."Hello? Uncle Fletcher, when will you reach Ashvale?" she inquired.Joaquin said something over the phone. Celia then continued, "Yes, Nicole, and I just got back. Please call me when you arrive. I'll come and pick you up."At that moment, Joaquin had just placed an additional piece of clothing in his suitcase. "I've already bought my plane ticket. I'll arrive in Ashvale tomorrow afternoon to treat his leg. Please send me the hospital's address in advance.""Okay, Uncle Fletcher," Celia replied. She hung up the phone and relaxed visibly.Nicole looked at her with a worried expression. "How did it go?""

Chapter 364 Missing

"One moment." Parker walked to his desk, picked up several files, and handed them to Celia. He fixed his gaze on her and said, "These are the actors and the director I've chosen. Do have a look and let me know if you find anyone unsuitable."Celia took the files and began flipping through them, page by page.The director Parker had selected was experienced in making art films. He had a great command of cinematic language and the nuances of directing actors. So there was nothing to worry about in that aspect. But the same couldn't be said for the choice of the female lead.Celia pointed at the picture in the file and looked up at Parker. She said, "I've seen most of Jodie Durnstone's previous works. She has mostly starred in period dramas. She excels in emotional scenes, but her overall image doesn't quite match the female lead's character."In my opinion, it might be better to cast Morgan Larson instead. She has a calm air about her, which makes her malleable as an actress.

She asked Nicole to go home and rest after assuring her that she would think of a way to find Henry.That afternoon, Joaquin's flight landed in Ashvale.Celia spotted him in the crowd and waved enthusiastically. "Uncle Fletcher!"She hurried over to him and took his luggage from him.Joaquin smiled and said, "How's Nicole's boyfriend doing? Let's go to the hospital now."Celia fell silent for a moment and shook her head. "He and Nicole broke up. He left the hospital yesterday, and neither of us know where he went. "Until now, we still haven't been able to find him. Please rest at the hotel for a few days first, Uncle Fletcher."Joaquin furrowed his brow and replied, "Alright."Suddenly, Celia thought of Elise. She tentatively asked, "By the way, Uncle Fletcher … I have a question to ask you."When Joaquin turned his attention to her, Celia inquired cautiously, "I would

Chapter 366 Think Too Highly of Herself

Jean-Pierre returned to his booth, looking immensely displeased. Annie was considerate and wanted to put an ice pack on his face. But he blocked her hand and growled angrily, "Get lost!"Annie's smile froze for a moment, but she forced herself to swallow her pride. She leaned in and spoke softly to Jean-Pierre. "Mr. Jean-Pierre, I see you're interested in that woman. Well, we happen to be old acquaintances. I can help you get her."Jean-Pierre had been upset but perked up when he heard what Annie had to say. "Is that right?" he asked eagerly."Absolutely," Annie replied seriously, nodding her head with an intriguing smile on her lips."What can you do?" He narrowed his eyes. The tone of his voice carried a hint of skepticism.Annie leaned in to speak in his ear once more. After a while, his face lit up with understanding, and he nodded repeatedly.He reached out and pinched Annie's chin. "Babe, your idea isn't bad at all."Upon seeing how this was turning out, Annie insisted

Chapter 367 Willow's Scheme

Jean-Pierre froze on the spot. How had it turned out like this?Annie had claimed she put the necklace in Celia's bag. But now, it was in her bag instead!Had she intended to steal his necklace?As this thought crossed his mind, he looked at Annie with anger. "What's going on?"Her face paled, and she seemed bewildered. "It wasn't me. I swear!"Celia was about to speak when a man's voice sounded from nearby. "Being suspected of intentional theft and framing others can land you in jail. A 20-million-dollar necklace is enough to put you behind bars for the rest of your life, Ms. Lauren."The voice sounded so familiar.Celia's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and saw a tall figure approaching them.Yardley was here! Celia had thought he was still in Yrendale. Why had he suddenly returned?Facing Celia's puzzled gaze, Yardley gave her a sexy smirk. Then, he instructed the security guards beside him coldly, "Take Annie to the police station. As for Mr. Jean-Pierre, l

Chapter 368 Can't Wait Any Longer

Willow sounded awfully confident. This made Parker snort in response.He leaned against his desk and said seriously, "Ms. Xanders, forgive me for being blunt, but you're too naive. "If Yardley and Celia could be easily separated by a few words, you wouldn't have had come to see me today."His words struck a nerve. Willow clenched her fists a little and pursed her lips. Her smile faltered a bit as well."So what?"Parker shook his head and looked at her without much interest. He retorted mercilessly, "So I have no intention of working with you. I like Celia, but I would never resort to such unethical methods to win her over. You've come to the wrong person."Parker's rejection was unequivocal, and Willow's gaze dimmed."If there's nothing else, please leave." He urged her to leave.Willow stood up from the couch abruptly. She glared at Parker and said, "I hope you won't regret what you said today."With that, she left in a hurry.Lisa followed her out. Her gaze darkened as

Chapter 369 Henry Has Been Found

"Alright." Yardley stared at Celia deeply for a while. The fire in his eyes wasn't completely gone, but he backed down in the end.He released her hand and sat down next to her, appearing somewhat helpless.Seeing him in this restrained state, Celia felt a twinge of guilt. She extended her delicate hand, placed it on Yardley's shoulder, and leaned against him. She looked at him and said, "We have a lot of time ahead of us. There'll be plenty of chances in the future."Yardley turned to look at Celia's exquisite face. He planted a kiss on her forehead and said, "Yes, we have long days together ahead of us."...After Parker left, he walked over to a dimly lit streetlamp. It happened to face the direction of Celia's living room. He couldn't help but look up at the glaring light coming from Celia's window.Yardley and Celia were definitely together now, right? They might even be ...Intense bitterness filled Parker's heart. He shook his head and forced those thoughts away. He low

Chapter 370 Who Do You Think You Are

Joaquin nodded in response. But when he saw Henry's right leg, his expression turned serious.Nicole had been supporting Henry. She looked at Joaquin nervously. After getting a signal from Celia, she helped Henry sit in a nearby chair.Joaquin removed the old bandage from Henry's leg and saw that his wound had worsened. His lips formed a taut line as he carefully examined the injury. He pressed around the area gently. Henry frowned and even broke into a cold sweat, all while clenching his teeth and keeping silent.Joaquin stood up after a while.With her hands tightly clasped together, Nicole hurriedly asked, "Uncle Fletcher, what's Henry's condition? Can his leg still be treated?"Joaquin shook his head, his expression grave. "The injury in his right leg is severe. It's been neglected for quite some time. So the wound has deteriorated, affecting the tendons and muscles. "Even if I do my best to treat it, a complete recovery may not be possible. Even if we heal his leg, he
