Chapter 451

Back in the day, Xever Group was the biggest private company around. Xever Gibson had what they might call a golden touch. Every single project he touched turned to gold. There were no losses, just wins. He was a legend, and any project he picked up pulled in huge investments from all over the world.He had that plan to dig a huge mine. Even before they started, investors had poured in 50 billion dollars. Everyone was watching. However, out of the blue, the mine caved in, and over a hundred miners got trapped underground.Wilder scrunched his eyebrows. Someone had just 'killed' his character in the game, so he logged off to give Ophite his full attention.Ophite let out a heavy sigh. Those miners were more than just workers; they were people with families.After a sip of his drink, he kept going, "Right after the accident, the authorities took Xever and started digging into what happened. It took them half a year, but they ended up saying it was just a terrible accident. It was som

When Harper got to West Palace, he found Wilder engrossed in a video game.Harper's face bore unattended wounds, and he looked both icy and agitated. He glanced around and asked, "Where's Yosef? He sent me his location here, didn't he?"Wilder paused his game and looked up. "Yosef's taken a sudden interest in Xever Group. He's gone with Ophite to get some info from Mr. Stewart... Harper, what's with your face? You get into a fight?"Harper, who could not care less about anything else at the moment, flopped down with a huff. "Wilder, fetch me some strong liquor, will you?"Wilder shut off his phone and stood up, selecting a bottle from the cabinet behind him. "What's going on?"Harper, who would not dream of admitting to anyone that his wife had been unfaithful, kept a stern expression as he uncorked a bottle of imported liquor. He poured himself a half-glass. "You wouldn't get it. The more beautiful the woman, the tougher she is to handle."Wilder mused to himself—they were the

Maxwell reluctantly shared, "Xever did have a son and a daughter. When all that trouble happened, his son was just three, and his daughter was a newborn, barely a month old."Yosef's brows furrowed. "He had another son?""Yes, but remember how I said there was no one to handle his funeral? That's because the Gibson family was in total disarray. His son was playing by himself at the doorstep when he was snatched by kidnappers. "I even sent people to search, but he was never found. It's like when it rains, it pours, and then you get hit with a blizzard on top of that," Maxwell said with a shake of his head.Yosef asked once more, "And the daughter?"Maxwell's voice was heavy with sadness. "After Xever died, his wife couldn't bear the pain. She took their little girl, and they both jumped into the river."Ophite's eyes widened in shock. "They jumped into the river? On purpose?""Yes." Maxwell nodded solemnly. "Mrs. Gibson's body was in the river for over a month before they found

The car did not stop. It just zoomed past them and onto the Stewarts' grounds.After that, the sound of a car door opening and closing echoed in the yard. A helper of the Stewarts whispered, "Mr. Shawn Stewart."A soft hum melted into the night, and then footsteps trailed off.Ophite had thought Shawn would come out to say hi. "That's Shawn, isn't it? He's back in the country." He had not caught any buzz about it.Yosef's expression, already stone-cold, got even icier. "Let's go."The driver had the car ready, and they both hopped in from opposite sides. Ophite was still chuckling about the quick glimpse he caught of the car that had just zoomed past. "He sure hasn't gotten ugly," he said with a mysterious smile.Yosef pulled out his phone and glanced at Ophite, his expression unreadable.Ophite just smiled a little. Guys usually did not fuss over another guy's looks, but Shawn's face was something one could not just ignore. He stood out even when he was younger. After ten years

Shelby hung up the call with Yosef and stood still for a second. Then, she turned to look into the living room, where Zara had been all along.Yes, Zara was actually with Shelby.When Yosef called, Zara quickly put her finger to her lips, telling Shelby to keep quiet about her being there.Shelby was puzzled. "Why not tell Mr. Webb the truth?"Zara cradled a steaming cup in her hands, her fingertips reddening from the heat while her lips stayed pale. "I need your help with something, but you're pregnant..." She bit her lip. "I just don't know who else to turn to."Shelby shrugged it off. "What's up? I'm pregnant, not helpless."Cecil piped up too, "Don't forget about me. I'm here to help as well."Zara looked up. "My mom passed out on New Year's Eve and was taken to the hospital. You know that. My dad went with her, but then he vanished. I didn't hear anything until the police called at midnight, saying my dad was drunk and making a scene on the street."Shelby nodded. "And the

Zara noticed the shadow in his eyes, hesitated, and then softly asked, "What's wrong?""Why didn't you pick up when I called?" Yosef asked."I was asleep. I didn't hear it."Ophite chuckled. "Yosef came home and couldn't find you. He was so worried he started sweating, even in the cold."Zara could not stop herself from looking at Yosef again. He was staring at her with intense eyes, not blinking at all. "Well, it's good that it was just a scare," Ophite said, checking the time. It was way past midnight. He gave Yosef a pat on the shoulder. "I'm off, Yosef." Zara said politely, "Goodbye, Mr. Moore." After Ophite left, only Zara and Yosef were left outside the tiny apartment. Zara sighed. "You're overreacting. I just visited my mom. I was so tired and sleepy because I didn't sleep well last night. The apartment was closer, so I came here. What's the rush..." She did not get to finish her sentence because Yosef suddenly lifted her and stepped into the apartment, closing the d

The room was quiet, and Zara was alone on the bed.Zara sat up with a heavy head, still feeling lost from a night filled with jumbled dreams. She felt like she had not quite woken up yet.After sitting there for a moment, she heard some noise outside. She got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Yosef at the dining table. He was taking out several boxes of food from an insulated bag.Zara caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She turned to see Yosef, who looked a bit lost. His whole demeanor was soft. He smiled gently. "You're up? Go freshen up, then come have breakfast."She did not need to ask. She knew he must have had Charvi or Samwell bring the meal. Zara nodded, went back to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out to eat.Yosef had sent not just breakfast, but clothes too.He wore the black shirt he usually wore, but today, he had on a slim black tie. It made him look younger and more stylish than usual. His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, showing off his mu

Zara stopped for a second, then turned around.It was a gloomy day, with thick clouds hiding the spring sunshine and making the whole city look dull. It seemed like it was raining somewhere far off. The air was damp, carrying the fresh scent of grass that drifted into her nose.The man stood a few steps away, tall and hard to miss. He had a presence that drew Zara in. Once she caught sight of him, she could not look away.He was wearing a brown suit that looked comfy and easygoing, not too stiff or formal. It had just one button at the waist, which he had done up. It showed off his slim torso and made his broad shoulders stand out even more.The white shirt he wore was not like any Zara had seen before. It wrapped around him in a unique way, with one side tucked under the other. It had a collar but no buttons, and it was open just enough to show a glimpse of his neck and collarbone.His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, reminding Zara of Yosef from earlier that day. However,

Zara was fuming, but her mind was racing. Her words were off. "What do you know?" No, she should be asking, "Do you know everything?"Shawn just gave a slight smile, as if to say she was smart. However, he stayed quiet.His eyes were perfectly shaped, and when he smiled, they crinkled at the edges. His eyelids were thin, making his eyes look deep and intense. However, his gaze was calm and still. He seemed cold but caring at the same time.Those were eyes that could feel deeply.Zara looked away from him and said coldly, "Instead of having someone tail me, just tell me everything. I need to know what's going on to protect myself."Shawn's voice was soft and serious. "If it were easy to tell you everything, I never would've walked away from you."Did that mean his leaving for another country long ago had something to do with her past?Zara's eyebrows knitted together in worry.He had told her last night about Trevor seeing two people on New Year's Eve, two people who were the re

Chapter 460

Zara was aware that Sadie was tailing her, but she ignored her.She might look serene, but her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.She had a mountain of questions to sort through.The first and foremost question was, who was she, really?Cheryl blurted out that she was not the Lowry family's real daughter, and then Shawn said that Trevor had jumped off a building because of her secret past. It all came down to her mysterious identity.The only person who could solve that mystery was Sharon.When she walked into the hospital ward, Cheryl stopped feeding Sharon her soup and stood up from her chair. She faced Zara with a serious expression. "Didn't I tell you that yesterday was the last time you'd see my mom? Why are you back?"Zara answered calmly, "I've called her 'Mom' for more than 20 years. It's not up to you to decide if I can keep doing that."She glanced at Sharon lying in the bed, her voice gentler. "If Mom doesn't want to see me anymore, she can just tell me. I'll leave ri
