Chapter 611

Luke's intense gaze lingered on my back as I left the room, and I didn’t feel at ease until I made it back to my office. Sitting at my desk, I absentmindedly twirled a pen between my fingers, wondering what role I could play in all this.Luke had everything under control; the entire situation was in his hands. I felt like an outsider, a mere spectator. The vast gap between Luke and me left me doubting myself once again.But I quickly pulled myself together. I moved my mouse, opened my email, and began reading through my messages. Growing up, my parents had shielded me from life’s harsh realities, leaving me in a world that was simple and filled with warmth, free from manipulation and deceit. But now, I had to adapt and find effective solutions to whatever life threw at me. I needed to keep up with Luke and Wendy, not hide under their protection forever.One day, I would be their strong ally.---“The debts are all paid off?” I asked the next morning.After Luke and I finished our

Chapter 612

Luke always had a knack for dealing with situations swiftly and decisively.“Jack William is a ticking time bomb for Crystal,” I said, my mind racing. “She’s terrified that something will happen while Jack’s in the hospital that could unravel everything.”Suddenly, an idea struck me, and my eyes lit up. “This is the perfect time for Stephen to step in!”Stephen, a heavyweight in the legal world, had been relentlessly pursuing Crystal for years. Now that he had finally found a weak spot, Crystal would be on edge, likely to make a rash move—perhaps even take action against Jack in the hospital.It’s much easier to place people in a hospital than in one of Kingston Industries’ facilities. We could lie in wait and catch Crystal in the act!I glanced at Luke, eagerly awaiting his approval.He gave me an approving smile. “That's an improvement.”I beamed like a child who had just been given a treat. Then, just as quickly, I froze in embarrassment. To cover my awkwardness, I cleared my

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Jack sat up in bed, struggling to keep his fear in check."You and Crystal are cut from the same cloth. You know her methods better than anyone—she won’t let you become a threat to her plans," Stephen replied."I don’t even know her. Why would I mess with her?" Jack turned over in bed, presenting his back. "I don’t care who you are. Stop coming to see me.""I’m Stephen, one of the victims from that case you were involved in years ago," Stephen revealed, his voice calm but firm. "Back then, you were just pawns—there was someone else behind it all.""You think you're better than the police or the judge?" Jack scoffed. "We were sentenced and served our time. Whatever you're trying to drag up is pointless. If you're here for an apology, forget it. If you're so upset, go complain to the judge and leave me alone!""Jack, you need to stay on your guard. You’ve already blackmailed Crystal once. Do you really think she’ll let you get another chance?"

“Keep it down, don’t disturb the other patients,” the nurse said firmly.“Sorry, sorry. I won’t shout anymore,” Jack muttered, wiping the sweat off his forehead as the nurse left. He picked up his phone, ready to call Crystal and confront her. But as soon as the call started dialing, he quickly hung up.Confronting her now would mean burning bridges, and Crystal would surely act without hesitation, moving faster and more ruthlessly against him. Jack’s face turned pale as fear gripped him. A direct attack he could avoid, but it was the unseen threats that scared him the most.As he got out of bed to go to the bathroom, a business card slipped to the floor. It was Stephen’s.Jack stared at the card for a long moment, torn between fear and self-preservation, before finally picking it up. At this point, staying alive was his priority.When Stephen arrived at the hospital, it was already 3 a.m. Jack sat anxiously on the edge of the bed, and as soon as he heard footsteps outside the doo

Stephen agreed to Jack's conditions."The phone is…" Jack hesitated. To him, the phone wasn’t just a way to save his life; it was also a bargaining chip to get more money from Crystal. He wasn’t eager to give it up so easily."Mr. York, if I provide you with such crucial evidence, you need to guarantee that I won’t get dragged into this case again.""If you have any other requests, you can state them now," Stephen replied calmly."It’s not that I don’t trust you," Jack said, sensing the value of the phone and realizing he had the upper hand. His previous timid demeanor was gone, replaced by a more confident posture. "But what if I hand over the phone and you don’t keep your word? After all, we’re not exactly friends. How can I be sure you won’t turn on me?"Stephen, unfazed, replied, "Are you certain this phone even exists?""If it didn’t, do you think I could’ve paid off my gambling debts so quickly?" Jack retorted smugly."Good," Stephen said, taking out his phone.Jack notic

"Earlier, you said the phone was destroyed. But now, after I supposedly threatened your daughter, you suddenly have evidence to offer?" Stephen asked, his tone sharp."I…" Jack hesitated, unwilling to gamble with his daughter’s life. His shoulders slumped in defeat. "The phone is hidden inside a stuffed toy I gave my daughter for her first birthday."Suddenly, Jack felt the cold grip of handcuffs around his wrists. Startled, he looked down at the cuffs and demanded, "I’m giving you useful information. Why are you arresting me?""To ensure the information you’ve provided is real, you need to come with us," one of the officers explained."As long as you guarantee my daughter's safety, I’ll cooperate fully," Jack replied, now completely compliant.A flicker of pain crossed Stephen’s face. He was a conscientious lawyer, committed to upholding the law, never once crossing the line. Using Jack’s daughter’s photo to pressure him was not something Stephen took lightly.But, as Wendy had

In the quiet of the night, the man’s low voice echoed clearly. The officers looked out the window.There, standing in the garden below, was a man gazing up at the building. Under the glow of the courtyard lights, the police noticed he was holding a pink Hello Kitty stuffed toy.One of the officers called out, "Did someone throw that toy into the yard?"The man, not realizing he was speaking to plainclothes officers, assumed they were the culprits. “Are you the one tossing things from above? Just wait—I’m coming up!” he snapped, counting the floors and storming toward the elevator with the toy in hand.A loud knock came at the door. When the officer opened it, the man raised the stuffed toy angrily, ready to confront them. Before he could say anything, the officer showed his badge."We’re investigating a case. We need your cooperation."The man, still holding the toy, paused and handed it over. "Is this about someone throwing things out the window? This toy almost hit me—it’s part

“No, we’ll just wait for the police results,” Luke replied.I looked again at the photos on my phone. "Searching for the toy in that huge pile of trash?"“We’re betting that Crystal didn’t have enough time to retrieve the evidence from the toy.”The police had already questioned Jack’s wife and confirmed that no one had asked her about the numbered toy Jack had given their daughter for her first birthday. Crystal had arrived at Jack’s house right after the police, and with cameras everywhere, she had to move quickly to avoid exposing herself. She likely hoped the police would be discouraged by the challenge of sifting through the mountain of trash.Luke’s calm confidence reassured me, and I felt a renewed sense of optimism.By late afternoon, news finally came in from the police. They had located the buried toys.The toys had been discarded in different places, and it took the police until nightfall to gather them all. The good news was that none of the toys appeared damaged, whi

Chapter 619

Joey was stubborn, living in her own world and unwilling to listen to anyone’s advice. Stephen, however, had taken it upon himself to bear the responsibility for her. Even when Joey lashed out with her bitterness, he stayed by her side, never abandoning her. As Wendy put it, they were locked in a toxic cycle—one willing to inflict pain, the other willing to endure it.There was no point in me stepping in; it would be as futile as a dog trying to catch mice. So, I joined Wendy to collect the bone marrow matching report.The results were in—Wendy was a match. As the doctor discussed preoperative precautions with her, Stephen walked into the office.Wendy glanced at him coolly and turned back to the doctor. "I haven’t made up my mind about donating yet."She grabbed the report and stood to leave, but Stephen stepped in front of her, blocking her way. "You can’t go back on your word now.""I only agreed to the test," Wendy said, raising an eyebrow at him, her tone casual. "You misunde

"Is she worth it?" Wendy asked calmly."That's my business," Stephen replied."Too bad you're no longer of any value to me." With that, Wendy hung up.Stephen immediately called her back, but her phone was already turned off. He considered going to see Wendy in person but couldn’t bring himself to leave Joey, who was still in the emergency room.By the time I received a call from Wendy, it was already two in the morning. Her peaceful sleep had been disrupted by Stephen's call, and she couldn’t fall back asleep. I had been half-asleep when my phone rang, and after groggily saying hello, I was about to drift off again when Wendy started telling me about the situation with Stephen.Still drowsy, I mumbled, "Wendy, you always know how to predict things.""Being protected by someone capable—it must feel wonderful," Wendy remarked."What did you just say?""Did your dream have Luke in it?" she teased."No, but it did have you in it," I replied, still groggy.In fact, my dreams were
