CHAPTER 181: After the Happy Times

HAZEL’S POV: Three days and two nights on the Disney Cruise Line isn’t enough. Sammy and Archie wish to extend our stay, but Marius and I have decided to go on another family vacation in a different yet still magical place - Universal Studio. While I’m trying to buy tickets and book our hotel for our next trip, one of the house staff comes into the room. “Ma’am, there are police officers waiting for you in the living area,” she says. It’s probably another interview to collect more details about Adriano and Le Distruzioni’s case. I head to the living area where Marius is already entertaining the police. But there’s something off: Marius’s face is pale and his posture is clenched. “Mrs. Thorne,” one of the police begins. “We’ve found the corpse of Ms. Mei Zhou with the help of your former adoptive brother, Mr. Michael Cassidy. And according to him, you’re the one who killed her.” My body freezes as chills run up and down my spine. I can’t think of anything to say to defend mys

CHAPTER 182: Inside the Prison

There are others who commit crimes several times, but remain free. Then I committed it once to ensure my survival, and I’m now locked up.I’m transferred to the state’s Correctional Center for Women. Every day Marius visits me, trying his best to uplift my draining hope of ever getting out of jail. He says that he and our lawyer are finding a way to pursue some of the Chinese tycoons to withdraw their support for Mei Zhou’s parents.“Bing and Hao Zhou remain in jail. Their assets also remain inaccessible to them. The only reason why these powerful Chinese are helping them is out of pity towards their fellow Chinese nationals,” Marius says.I know what that means - He’s gonna utilize money or any possible influence he has gained over the last few weeks to turn the tides into our favor. I hope it works, since we’re up against many wealthy and influential people - a more complicated fight than we ever had before.When the visiting hours are over, it’s time for us , the prisoners, to cl

CHAPTER 183: Billionaires Against Billionaires

I stir awake, and find myself in a hospital room with a handcuff on one hand that’s clasped on the bed frame. There are two police officers at the bed’s foot-end, and a nurse checking the apparatus beside me. But, there’s no Marius. “Where’s my husband?” I ask. The police officers uncaringly glance at me, then continue chatting with each other. As I piece my fragmented memory of what happened, the most important question emerges in my head. “My baby?” I ask, anxiously. The nurse responds, “The baby is okay now. We barely save its life. You have to be careful next time, since we can’t be sure if we’re still lucky enough to save it.” Though I’m relieved about my baby’s condition, frustration simmers through me. Even if I’m extremely careful, if everyone in jail seems to wanna kill me, my life and my baby’s will remain in jeopardy! As I ponder on what I’ll do so I won’t be sent back to jail, a furious commotion outside erupts. The door flings open with aggression, and stridi

CHAPTER 184: Guilty Or Not Guilty?

MARIUS’ POV: -[“Mr. Thorne, we got them!”]- Omari’s voice, through the phone, brims with pride as he declares the success of their mission. I immediately share the good news to Hazel, prompting tears of joy to glisten her eyes. “I have to talk to the k.idnappers myself. I’ll leave you in the care of your personal nurse and about twenty of our bodyguards,” I say as I wipe her tears dry. I lean in for a kiss, before leaving the hospital and heading home. There are five k.idnappers tied up and locked up inside the storage room in our backyard. I glare at them so cold, that they shiver in fear. “P-please, Mr. Th-Thorne, don’t kill us,” one of them stutters. “That depends,” I reply. “In a few days, my wife’s hearing in court will begin. I want you to be there to confess your crime and Mei Zhou’s participation in it.” They all glance at each other, hesitation on their faces. “I bet you already know that your protector, Mei Zhou, is dead. And now that I have you, I can do whatever

CHAPTER 185: Infiltration

HAZEL’S POV: I am free, finally! Marius and I withdraw the k.idnapping case we filed against Elmyra and Betty as promised, reasoning to the court that they’re also victims of Mei Zhou’s manipulations. Though I’m half-hearted about it, I'm confident that they’re not going to dare try to ruin me again and waste the freedom they just got. Reeve is also receiving help from Marius. The public has shown sympathy towards him, demanding for his release. And this may pressure the court to also junk Mei Zhou’s r.ape case against him.On the other hand, after Adriano’s death, Marius and I are able to produce all the evidence of his gang’s illegal businesses, including the illegal online casinos where Bing and Hao Zhou are entangled with. That makes them guilty of the crime, which means that they have to serve ten years of jail time.This angers the Association of the Chinese Billionaires even more. We receive a letter from an undeclared sender, written in Chinese. At first, we just wanna

CHAPTER 186: Broken and Flourishing Trusts

Thud! Our bodyguards and house staff jerk in anxiety as I smash the desk in front of me with my clenched fists. “I know that no matter how much we beg or threaten you, you won’t confess your betrayal to us! And now, the trust that Marius and I have to those who are genuinely innocent has been tarnished too!” I growl. If only I can just fire them all and hire new ones, I will! But, who’s to say that the new ones won’t be infiltrated by our enemies’ machineries too?! Plus, I can’t jeopardize the source of income of those who are genuinely loyal to us! Marius gently holds my shoulder to calm me a little. He then motions to our lawyer to give the checks, amounting to one millions dollars each, to the grieving families of the four bodyguards who were killed yesterday. The four bodyguards received proper burials, but the justice on their deaths must wait. We can’t hand the traitor over to the authorities yet. The Association of Chinese Billionaires may demand to kill her while inside

CHAPTER 187: Fake Identities

The extravagant prenuptial party of Charles Guo’s son and his fiancee is attended by Hollywood celebrities, well-connected politicians, and of course, their fellow billionaires. Marius and I easily get inside the luxurious venue using our fake invitation cards and IDs. Some attendees are familiar to us, so it’s a little challenging to act as different people around them. While Marius goes to congratulate the couple, I approach Charles Guo. His presence alone reminds me of his attempt to kill me, but I manage to act calmly. “Excuse me. I’ve never met you before. May I know you?” he asks. With a confident smile, I respond, “I’m Crystal Wu, and that’s my husband, Chris Wu. We’re your son’s new investors.” He nods, smiling back. Marius and I did invest in his son’s businesses under our false identities, but his son has never met us nor invited us here. But it seems Marius is doing a good job in making the young Guo not to suspect us. “Actually, “ I begin, stirring up our real mo

CHAPTER 188: The Association

I hold my breath as Charles approaches his wife. But then,... They start talking to each other, completely ignoring me and Marius.He doesn’t recognize us?!Quickly, Marius and I hide our faces with our surgical masks and pretend to be checking the patient and the apparatus surrounding him.After talking to his wife, Charles doesn’t even dare glance at his son, and just walks out of the room, utterly unbothered.I turn to his wife. “If you wanna save your life and your son’s from him, help us.”The wife shakes her head, fear rippling on her face. Still, I hand her a calling card that has one of the new phone numbers I’m using. “My husband and I have to leave before we get caught. But please, reconsider our request before it’s too late.”. Marius and I leave the room. We walk past the bodyguards as calmly as we can. When we get back to the room where we left the nurses, they’re gone!Panic crawls through my skin. We quickly take our clothes that we hide inside the bathroom. But,

CHAPTER 189: Charles' Suspiscion

“You two, stop!”Charles’ voice halts Marius and my movements as we’re about to step into the elevator.He’s glaring at us, accusations brimming on his clenched face.Quickly, I glance at the mirror to check on Marius and my reflections; We still perfectly look like Crystal and Chris Wu, no hint of our true appearances.So why is Charles reacting in such a way?!Charles’ grumpy bodyguards surround us, provoking Marius to shield me with his body.“What’s the meaning of this?” Marius asks, angrily and anxiously.Charles gestures to his bodyguards, and his bodyguards push us into the elevator while they block its door with their huge frames.Marius and I hold each other's hands as we descend to an obvious hell. He gropes inside his suit jacket for his hidden gun. My instinct tells me to pull out my gun and shoot them dead or until they’re immobilized, but there’s a CCTV mounted on the wall, plus this building is full of security guards and escaping will still be very difficult.In the

CHAPTER 190: The Guo's Dark Secrets

CHARLES’ POV: There’s nothing! Crystal and Chris Wu’s cellphones can’t provide anything that’ll connect them to Marius and Hazel Thorne! I turn to Rain and ask, “Are you sure you don’t know them?” Rain replies, “They invested one billion dollars to my new business venture, but I don’t know them personally. And I also don’t remember ever inviting them to my prenuptial party.” Irritation courses through me. “You’re so s.tupid to not meet your investors in person! I’m not gonna be surprised why until now you can’t build connections on your own!” “And now we can’t be sure if we can trust those two or not!” Rain shrugs, unbothered in showing his disinterest. I can’t believe that I’m squandering so much wealth for this d.umbass! If only I’m able to produce my own son, I would never let him exist! Amber approaches me and seductively rubs her palms across my chest area. “Honey, I’m scared. Everybody is talking about us now. Shall we just confess our affair?” she asks without any hin
