Life And Death Unknown

Vanessa felt a surge of resentment. “This isn’t slander; what she’s done is likely far worse than this.” “Still, we need evidence,” the police officer urged patiently. Unable to argue with the officer, Vanessa felt less inclined to speak. However, the officer acknowledged some of Vanessa’s suggestions, officially opening an investigation into the case while also reviewing related case files to explore any connections. At the hospital, Cassandra was distressed to see Mariah covered in injuries. During dinner, she fed him a generous amount of nourishing soup. Mariah, looking exasperated, said, “I really can’t eat anymore.” Seeing her pitiful expression, Cassandra realized she had overdone it and stopped. After the meal, Mariah mentioned that she felt too stuffed and wanted to go do

She's Gone

Seeing the doctor come out, everyone anxiously gathered around. The doctor took off his mask and shook his head with deep regret. “I’m sorry for your loss.” Those two words hit the attendees like a thunderclap, leaving them stunned. “What did you say? It can’t be!” Leonardo stepped forward and grabbed the doctor’s collar, demanding, “Explain!” Luca quickly intervened, grabbing Leonardo's hand. “Calm down; let go for now. Just listen to what the doctor has to say.” The doctor was used to such scenes by now. He understood their feelings and explained, “The knife pierced the heart, and there were also injuries to the abdomen and spleen. I’m sorry, but we did everything we could.” Upon hearing this, Leonardo staggered back a few steps as if he had just received a death sentence. The doctor looked at everyone present and continued, “You might

Goodbye, Mariah

As the surrounding reporters multiplied, Luca furrowed his brow, unsure of what to do. Leonardo’s expression darkened noticeably as he listened to the barrage of questions from the reporters. Just as he was about to act, a doctor emerged from the chaos, frowning and angrily shouting, “What are you doing? This is a hospital. There are patients inside who need peace and quiet. Get out of here and stop causing trouble at the hospital entrance!” The reporters seemed to ignore the doctor’s words, their frenzy undiminished. However, the doctor’s admonition reminded Leonardo that he couldn’t afford to make a scene here, or things would spiral completely out of control. But just because Leonardo was holding back didn’t mean Luca had to do the same. Seeing the reporters targeting Mariah with their questions, the veins on Luca'

Biological Daughter

Although everyone was reluctant to part with Mariah, they all understood that this was the procedure that couldn’t be disrupted. Vanessa had no choice but to turn away, pretending not to see, as if that would somehow dull the pain of separation. Considering everyone’s emotions, the police, before leaving, solemnly said, “Don’t worry, we will return the body to you soon. We will also initiate an immediate investigation and provide you with answers.” In truth, the answers didn’t matter much anymore. A person could not be brought back to life; what could be more significant than a life lost? Moreover, everyone present knew that the culprit was Beatriz, but without any evidence, they could only swallow their bitterness in silence. After Mariah was taken away, the remaining few had no reason to stay at the hospital and each returned home. As soon as

Nightmare

Luca and Isla exchanged a knowing glance and shook their heads at Vanessa, who looked puzzled. Isla said mysteriously, “Mommy, don’t ask anymore. This is a secret between Uncle Luca and me, and you can’t tell anyone.” Upon hearing this, Vanessa didn’t press further but secretly observed their interactions, sensing that they were hiding something from her. Seeing her mother’s expression, Isla felt a twinge of guilt and asked Luca again, “Uncle, can’t you really tell Mommy? I can see she really wants to know.” Actually, whether Vanessa knew about the situation wasn’t the main issue. Luca was worried that if she found out, she would directly refuse him or say something that would hurt him. He had tried before, but it hadn’t gone well. He feared that Vanessa would reject him again. Luca didn’t know how to express

Heaven Is Against Both Of Them

Vanessa walked into the living room and took out a bottle of wine. She felt overwhelmed by the emotions she had been harboring and wanted to vent them through drinking. Luca remained silent but quietly sat down beside her, nudging his glass toward her. The two shared a silent understanding, drinking one cup after another without speaking. After a few glasses, Vanessa felt a little better and finally confessed to Luca about what had just happened. “I don’t know why I had such a nightmare, but if it weren’t for me, Mariah should be very happy at this moment, not having lost her life at such a young age. I was the one who caused her harm.” Seemingly affected by Vanessa's emotions, Luca felt a pang of sympathy. He gently pulled Vanessa into his arms and comforted her, “Don’t think too much. The reason you have these dreams is that you’ve put

Grandpa's Help

Beatriz's actions were nothing but fabrications, and they might even tarnish Ness Corp's reputation as a result. During the shareholders' meeting, Vanessa stood up and directly opposed such behavior. “How can you exploit online discourse to hype up the company? You must understand that once the company gets embroiled in such controversies, it will be difficult to extricate ourselves. Moreover, this matter is not as you claim; if it gets exposed, it will undoubtedly affect the company’s future development.” Beatriz, however, remained unfazed. She had tasted the benefits of this incident and disregarded Vanessa's warnings. Vanessa felt helpless and looked toward the other shareholders. These shareholders were indifferent. After all, for them, once Ness Corp gained recognition, its stock price would rise accordingly. For th

Low Point

The company executives hesitated upon hearing her words. Beatriz sensed their indecision and continued, “Mr. Salt, just look at it. Leonardo has already terminated his contract with the company. I understand you want to help him as an old employer, but think about it: you’re all in the same entertainment circle. Now that he’s left the company, conflicts over resources with other artists are inevitable. Do you really believe that when the time comes, he’ll still remember these feelings? It’s only a matter of time before the relationship deteriorates.” Hearing this, the other party recalled how such situations were common in the entertainment industry and hesitated even more. Seeing their reluctance to make a decision, Beatriz grew impatient and considered abandoning this pawn. Just then, the other party finally relented, “Alright, Miss Langley, I’ll coop

It's Time To Stop

Leo, are you really okay?” the assistant asked cautiously. Leonardo's tone had lightened. “I’m fine. You all don’t need to worry about me. This matter doesn’t really affect me. I could withdraw from the industry to accommodate those people, but if I do leave, I’ll do so cleanly—no one will be able to throw dirt on me.” Hearing such assertive words, the assistant felt reassured, realizing this was the boss she knew. That night, Leonardo posted a message on his personal social media account: "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone who has supported me for a long time and made you worry. However, you don’t need to be too scared about my downfall. I have always believed that those who are innocent will clear their names. No one will pin false accusations on me for things I didn’t do. Secondly, I have an i

Fall For A Trap

The maid fell unconscious after being hit. Beatriz quickly found a sturdy rope and securely tied her up, throwing her into the storage room. Looking at Ezra, who stood in the living room looking bewildered, Beatriz approached to comfort him. “Ezra, don’t be afraid. Leave this to Mommy; you go upstairs and rest.” As she spoke, Beatriz fetched her son’s medication and fed it to him. Originally meant to control his emotions, she had secretly replaced it with sleeping pills. Ezra had no idea, and after taking the medicine, he soon drifted into a deep sleep. Beatriz went downstairs and searched the living room, finding Grandpa Kensington’s phone. She opened the contacts, found Vanessa’s number, and sent her a message asking her to come to the residence immediately. When Vanessa saw the message, she was puzzled. Why would Grandpa
