All Chapters of Her Deadly Date: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

When I got home, it was seven o'clock in the morning. Only the nanny was there, and the moment she saw me, worry crossed her face. She said, "Mr. Bedrock, Queenie didn't wake up all night and didn't even cry for milk. I tried to wake her up a moment ago, but she wouldn't respond. I was just about to give you a call."I rushed into my daughter's room. She was lying there, looking as peaceful as a little angel. "Queenie… Queenie," I called her name, but only silence greeted me. I took her small hand in mine and gave it a gentle squeeze, but there was still no response.Panic clawed at me as I looked up. "Where's her mother?"The nanny hesitated. "Mrs. Bedrock called me last night to watch over Queenie. She was already gone when I arrived and has yet to return. Queenie was already asleep when I got here."I dialed Sandra Chance's number. She answered groggily, "What is it? Why are you calling me so early? Didn't I tell you that it was Shawn's birthday, and I would be staying at my b

I admitted that I fell for her at first sight. She knew it, too, and understood exactly what my presence in her life meant. She quickly agreed to marry me under my pursuit on the condition that I would help Chance Group through its difficulties.I knew she had once loved someone deeply who had since moved abroad. I thought that I treated her so well, and coupled with the fact that we had been married for several years, as well as having a daughter together, surely she must feel something for both me and our child. But it was all my wishful thinking.In her eyes, I was just an annoyance, someone she barely tolerated. And Queenie? Our daughter was just another burden.I looked at the couple hugging each other and kissing passionately in the living room before I opened the door with a bang that startled the pair of lovers.Shawn saw me standing there with a grim expression, and he was shocked. Sandra stood protectively in front of him, saying, "Xavier, if you have a problem, take it

Sandra refused to sign the divorce papers, and even the lawyer seemed powerless.I gave her a call. "You're holding out on the divorce? Aren't you afraid of keeping your precious Shawn waiting? What if he gets tired and moves on?"She scoffed. "You want me to walk away with nothing? Dream on. Xavier, you're ruthless. I never thought you'd treat someone you once shared a bed with like this."Ruthless? She didn't know the man I was before our marriage.Within a month, all of Chance Group's deals were mysteriously falling through. Contracts that had been almost signed were abruptly canceled. Her father and brother weren't fools. They had quickly dug up the reason behind the sudden misfortune.Of course, I had my people planted in the Chance Family's household staff to keep an eye on things.I heard that Sandra was summoned home, and she even brought Shawn along with her happily. However, the moment she stepped through the door, her father, Kendrick Chance, slapped her so hard she f

Sandra and Shawn suddenly found themselves cornered by enemies and reduced to poverty.Now that they had nothing left, their need for money increased, and they started planning every strategy to obtain it.When I found out that Sandra was planning an art exhibition, it had already opened, with the theme prominently displayed: Daughter.When I saw the theme, my blood boiled. Without a second thought, I headed straight for the gallery.Inside, the walls were filled with paintings of Queenie. Near the entrance, a placard explained the exhibition's theme which was designed by Sandra. It stated that the artist was a grieving mother who had tragically lost her daughter in an accident, and these works were a tribute born out of a mother's heartbreak and love.The entire theme was very moving, filled with paintings of Queenie. Each one had a price tag below it. Sandra's reputation, combined with the emotional significance of the theme, touched many hearts, and she managed to sell half of
