No amount of booze

Meanwhile, as the sky grew increasingly dark, the lights on the rooftop of the Locke Residence lit up one after another. Matthias had made a special effort to install decorative lamps of various colors on the rooftop when he invited Heather for a candlelight dinner last time, and these lamps looked very beautiful when they were all lit up. Before they realized it, Heather and Matthias had stayed on the rooftop for such a long time. It was already late, and she was wondering when she should head back. Just then, Matthias said to her, “I just hired a chef from France yesterday. You must try the authentic French cuisine today.” He saw through her eagerness to go back. “I don’t like French cuisine,” Heather replied unceremoniously. She had never been polite to Matthias anyway. “I don’t like French cuisine either, but this chef is amazingly good at making French delicacies. You must try it,” he suggested. Heather smiled, for she could tell that Matthias was trying to use this excu

Gone too far this time

In the blink of an eye, Matthias and Heather had finished three bottles of alcohol, each of which had an alcohol content of no less than 40 percent. At the sight of this, Evan was truly stunned and speechless. He feared that they would spend the entire night drinking as the alcohol went to their heads.He was secretly worried about the two of them, for he feared that they would suffer from alcohol poisoning. The three bottles of liquor were of different types, and he didn’t know if any chemical reaction would occur when these liquors were mixed in their stomachs.“Get us another bottle, Evan,” Matthias called Evan again. He was drinking recklessly.“Sir, your health—” Evan said, but Matthias interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.“Get us another bottle.” Matthias shot Evan an icy look. He didn’t want Heather to know about his chronic illness, yet Evan brought this up.Luckily, Heather was mellow with drinks, so she didn’t pay any attention to their conversation. Right no

Turned out that matthia is the one

The two of them remained in such a posture, for Matthias took Heather’s struggle as playing hard to get. If it weren’t for the fact that she had to save Matthias’ face in front of the others, Heather would have shoved him away directly. She whispered to his ear, “Let go of me.”Such a movement was extremely suggestive in everyone else’s eyes, but only Matthias knew that Heather was displeased. Even though he was still a little tipsy, he didn’t dare to act so rashly anymore. Hence, he reluctantly let go of her. This was truly something unbearable, for no one would be willing to let go of the beauty in their arms. However, he was already content with everything that happened today, for he had seen Heather’s changes with his own eyes.He was now confident about the future, and he believed he would live until the day Heather personally agreed to go steady with him. By then, the nature of their relationship would gradually become clear.“I’ll be heading back first.” At this moment, Heather

The man who steals

It was already 3.00AM by the time Matthias arrived home at his villa. He had come up with numerous excuses to stay around at the Langston Residence, and Heather could only comply with his wishes since she didn’t want to disturb the Langstons—after all, they were already soundly asleep. Still, she made a miscalculation, for Robert called her to his study early in the morning.Heather had scrubbed herself down last night and sprayed perfume on herself, but there was still a faint smell of alcohol on her. Robert’s nose was very sensitive to the smell of it, so he smelled the alcohol on her at once. However, he was completely absorbed in his drawing, so he didn’t even look up when he saw her.Heather felt somewhat nervous. She didn’t know why Robert had purposely called her over, and the tense atmosphere made her feel that this wasn’t a good thing. Heather, who always had a strong intuition, braced herself for Robert’s lecture and silently huddled in a corner.“You reek of alcohol.” There

Myra has been kidnapped

Robert rarely chased Heather out of his study directly, but he drove her out mercilessly this time because of Matthias. Heather thought to herself, I didn’t act unworthily of Matthias this time.The butler was waiting outside the study, and Heather shot him a glance since he was the one who snitched on her. She glowered at him in displeasure, but she couldn’t place all the blame on him for this since he had always been loyal and devoted to Robert. In the end, she could only blame herself for failing to take notice last night.When she switched on her cell phone again, Heather saw that Matthias had made several calls to her. However, she was in no mood to answer his phone calls right now.Meanwhile, Matthias was busying himself in his office. After the conversation with Robert just now, he was having a profound self-examination. Right now, he couldn’t get through to Heather on her cell phone, and this distressed him terribly. What Robert had said was still fresh in his mind, and he rea

It’s rare for heather

She took out her computer, which hadn’t been touched in ages, from the cabinet. Back then, Heather had purposely looked for someone well-versed in PC building to make this computer for her. Ever since she brought it back from overseas, the computer had always been locked away in the cabinet. Today, it finally saw daylight again.She switched the computer on. Heather had previously been overly reliant on Leo to the point that her own skills had rusted by now. Although she wasn’t a hacker, she was still very informed about computers. In particular, she was skilled at obtaining information that she wanted from them. With that, Heather entered the useful bits of information that she had wrung from the kidnappers into the computer, believing that she’d be able to find some clues from it.“The outlaws.” Heather kept repeating those words. “Are they from Bradfort City, or did they come from somewhere else?”There had to be a complicated connection tying everything together. Heather forced he

Just who in the world

Having been dragged over to Heather’s room for no reason, Everly stared at the monitor on the desk. There was a drawing of a woman on the screen.“Do you recall this woman at all?” Heather asked as she pointed at the incomplete drawing.Everly squinted, taking in the picture. However, the drawing wasn’t detailed enough. After mulling it for a while, she still couldn’t figure out who the woman might be.“Let’s put our heads together,” Heather said like she was a psychologist.Everly looked at Heather in curiosity, wondering why the latter was in such a rush to get her up into her room. What was going on?“Is there a girl at your university who has pretty good looks and good grades, but isn’t from a well-off family? Someone who’s working part-time when she’s not in class.” That was all Heather could remember.Everly looked at Heather in a confused manner—that was too broad of a description. Everly shook her head, for she had no clue as to who that might be.“Look at this picture. Is the

Such despicable kidnappers

Question after question kept coming, and Heather was stuck in this game. Just who on earth was the one commanding the pieces on this board? The sky in Bradfort City was currently cloaked in clouds. Likewise, Heather’s emotions were all tangled up. Right now, the thing that Heather was most concerned about was Myra’s whereabouts.When Matthias called, Heather hastily answered her phone. At this moment, his voice was music to her ears.“Heather,” Matthias said, his tone heavily colored with longing. After Matthias had been hurt by Heather’s earlier distantness, every minute felt like a year instead.“Call me again on a different number, Matthias.” Heather was worried that the kidnappers had bugged his phone, so she thought of this plan and hung up on him. Matthias was still puzzled, but he couldn’t ignore Heather’s words after she had requested him to do that.Matthias called Lara in. “Give me your phone,” he said as he stuck a hand out at her.Lara looked at him, not quite understandin

A sudden warmth

There wasn’t much time left for Heather; she couldn’t waste any more time on the kidnapper, and she must find Everly as soon as possible. She was probably at campus during this hour, so Heather couldn’t be bothered with anything else as she prepared to rush to Everly’s university to look for her.Heather pulled on some clothes haphazardly; time was of the essence and she couldn’t waste a second. After rushing to the garage, she picked a black Jeep that was sturdy and could withstand crashes this time. In a flash, Heather drove away from the Langston Residence. Since it would take at least 20 minutes for Heather to reach Everly’s campus from the Langston Residence, she only had ten minutes to search for the latter.At that moment, Heather couldn’t get any response no matter how many times she dialed Everly’s number.Why won’t Everly pick up? Heather looked at her phone, worried.The clock was still ticking, and Heather did her best to calm herself. With that being said, how she wished

The ringleader

On the front passenger seat, Everly’s emotions were not very stable. It was only until the car had been driven for a long distance that Heather realized her peculiarity.Unable to understand Everly’s emotions, Heather frowned. Realizing that Heather was looking at her, Everly decided to calm herself down and hoped that Heather would not detect anything from her expression.“Everly, did something happen to you in school?” Heather asked tentatively as she felt uneasy, worried that the ringleader could appear or that he had already made his presence.“No.” She did not miss the unnatural expression on Everly’s face.Seeing that Everly did not want to talk about school, Heather changed the topic. “Are you sure you haven’t seen that woman before?” She never expected that they wouldn’t have any leads to work with.Everly lowered her head in regret. Heather was just trying to change the topic, but it actually triggered the guilt within Everly.“Heather, I feel like I’m a failure who can’t get
