After hanging up the phone, Russell asked Troy to check Nathalie's recent communications and then returned to the hospital bed.
He held Zoey tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
At this moment, he had no sleepiness, and his eyes gazed into the pitch-black night.
Whoever hurt Zoey, he would never let him go.
Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce was driving on the way to the apartment.
Leanna glanced at the man gripping the steering wheel and coughed lightly, "I wanted to go back to the design room, the direction of this road is wrong."
Toby remained unfazed, "It was already past twelve, are you planning to stay up all night?"
"The designers in the design studio were busy until around 2 am before they went to rest, it feels a bit unfair for me to sleep so early."
Toby looked ahead and said softly, "So, is it unnecessary to pay them such high salaries when you become the boss and work so hard?"
Leanna pursed
Toby slept lightly and instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.When Leanna rushed to the bedside, before she could say anything, she was grabbed by the man and pulled into his arms.The man flipped over and pinned down Leanna."Considering all night long, in the end, couldn't help but burst out?"Leanna's mouth twitched, "I didn't come to pounce on you..."The remaining words were all blocked by the man, and Leanna made a whimpering sound from her mouth, continuously patting the man's shoulders with her hands.However, she was soon melted by the man's burning temperature. She weakly clung to the man's neck with her hands, and a soft moan escaped from her throat."Is it possible?"Toby gently inquired, and these three words also brought Leanna to some extent of clarity.She trembled her eyelashes and looked at the exceptionally handsome face of the man above her. Suddenly, she pushe
The crowd heard the words and were all a little puzzled.The forensic asked, "Isn't it normal for a suicide victim to willingly choose death?""Not normal. Even in the case of suicide, the deceased would have a struggle process, it's impossible to leave no trace at all. Hailey didn't have any. I suspect she was hypnotized by someone, then wrote a suicide note before dying."The crowd couldn't help but be startled, as if they were all contemplating this possibility.Zoey said, "Hailey and I did have conflicts, but it never escalated to the point of wanting to kill each other. Besides, she had no reason to write about plotting against herself. It is obvious that someone intentionally did it, in order to set up a scapegoat for this shooting incident and prevent the police from further investigation."Russell naturally had full confidence in Zoey, "There was a high possibility of this."The director nodded, "It was indeed suspicious, so let's co
This recording pen confirmed Zoey's conjecture, so Hailey was not a suicide at all, but a murder.The man in the recording pen was crucial. As long as he was found, we could follow the clues and find the "treasure" he mentioned.By then, everything would be revealed in the truth.Russell said, "We investigated the surveillance thoroughly, both on the set and around this building, but the other party was very professional and didn't leave any clues at all."Zoey thought for a moment, "The fact that Hailey had time to press the recording pen indicates that she knew this man, so Hailey was not suddenly chosen as a scapegoat, but she was involved in the explosion on the set. I suspect that she was also involved in the gun swap and the planting of explosives. It's just that the surveillance was cut off and didn't capture it."Russell nodded, "This speculation is reasonable. We investigated Hailey and found no abnormalities, so it is highly likely that s
Perhaps this topic was too heavy, when the two embraced and fell asleep, in fact, neither of them slept.Zoey knew that many things had changed with her rebirth, but she couldn't predict what else had happened.She had a vague sense of unease, always feeling that something would happen in the near future.And Russell confirmed tonight that the two of them had indeed had the same dream, such a vivid dream that he couldn't ignore it.He felt that Zoey seemed to be hiding something very painful from him.She didn't speak, and he didn't force her.He would be a knight, silently guarding her, preventing her from getting hurt.The night was so long.Both of them remained motionless, gazing at the cold and clear moon in the sky.Davis, Tabitha, and Landyn Jaelyn also learned about Madeleine's accident and at the same time, they also found out about Zoey's heroic act.So when Zoey came to see Madeleine with scar removal c
Zoey squinted her eyes and looked at the confident Jayleen, who appeared to have the victory in her grasp.Leanna sneered, "Look at her smug look, I never expected her to go to Dream Studio. Honestly, can Dream Studio really accept someone like her? After all, she's in cahoots with Ariana, I refuse to believe they didn't know about her plagiarism last time."Zoey said, "She might have known a little, but she probably didn't expect Ariana to completely plagiarize. However, she is not innocent either, she used to give me a hard time when we were at Born Beauty. I guess she won't be working as a designer at Dream Studio, at most she'll be an assistant. Dream Studio has high standards for designers. After all, reputable design studios are very protective of their reputation, and they won't hire designers with a history of misconduct."Leanna crossed her arms and nodded noncommittally, "Indeed. I wonder what this Dream Studio will be like. I heard that the sketches f
This wave of dog food fed everyone present.When a woman marries into a wealthy family, at most she would be given a few houses, along with some money. However, it is simply impossible for her to be gifted with company shares or any other substantial assets.It is simply unbelievable that Russell actually transferred all of his personal assets to Zoey.The designers at Galaxy Studio exclaimed in disbelief."Ms. Harmon, you were so lucky!""Come on, Ms. Harmon is also excellent, okay! She is very deserving!""Yeah! Don't forget, Ms. Harmon was the queen of OST, Mr. Conway's disciple, and also the founder of our Galaxy Studio!""Only when one becomes excellent oneself, can they walk side by side with an excellent partner. I finally understand the meaning of this sentence!""I have had enough of this dog food. I don't need to have dinner tonight."***Leanna was also quite shocked, but she quickly understood. She sai
Zoey took out a white slim-fit dress with a diagonal shoulder style from the box.The collar was completely covered in diamonds, each one being of the same shape and size.The white dress was printed with subtle patterns, which were not noticeable unless observed closely, but it had a sense of depth.Zoey had straight and broad shoulders, which allowed her to handle this style very well.Leanna was no longer tired at the moment. "Zoey, what a beautiful dress! Who designed it? Take a look and see if there is any logo.""It should have been Russell.""Your man?"Zoey looked at her astonished expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Be even more shocked, and you won't be tired later.""No, that's not possible. Shocked or not, tired or not, sleep is still necessary."Leanna raised her chin slightly and said, "Go give it a try."Zoey nodded and did not shy away from her. She simply changed her clothes.Leanna ke
Woodmerrow, Millennium Restaurant.Russell and his partner were negotiating a collaboration at the dining table when a waitress accidentally spilled the drink, staining his pants.The waitress wanted to help him wipe, but Russell refused, naturally sensing her ulterior motives.He asked Troy to fetch a spare suit and then pushed him upstairs to change in the guest room.Troy went to the car trunk to get the spare set and returned to the hotel. While waiting for the elevator, there was a woman standing beside him.The woman was making a phone call, her face unable to contain the excitement. "I will watch the live broadcast when the time comes. I want to witness the moment when Zoey is identified as a plagiarist. That bitch fired me, and I won't let her off the hook! You go for it, and successfully kick her out!"After hanging up the phone, the woman remained immersed in excitement and started humming a song.When she realized that she
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
Nancy told Dalton everything about her and Craig.Dalton's expression turned heavy after hearing the news, and he felt a mix of emotions towards Craig.If it weren't for Kolton and Reina's interference, Nancy and Craig would have long become a heavenly couple, and Dalton wouldn't even be in the picture.Craig risked his life to save others before the bus exploded, narrowly escaping death. Later, on the cruise ship, he once again rescued Nancy. If it weren't for Susie's help, he would have also drowned in the sea.Their everyday moments, even without simple kisses, they were able to give their lives for each other.To be honest, Dalton admired Craig while also feeling quite jealous of him.Back then, he had Amiya by his side, so even if Nancy appeared, there wouldn't be any possibility between them.Everything, one can only say, was a twist of fate.Dalton's face became somewhat serious as he looked at Nancy. "Nancy, I respected
Nancy woke up and found herself in the hospital, with a furry head by her side.She recognized that it was Dalton, how was he here?Did he save himself or was he here as a family member to take care?She tended towards the second situation, after all, no one knew about her visit to the gallery last night.However, in any case, she felt that she was not prepared to meet him.Just at that moment, Dalton moved.Nancy immediately closed her eyes.Dalton, with sleepy eyes, sat up and stretched, moving his neck.Last night, he was here guarding Nancy, afraid that she might have any problems.Actually, he could have slept on the nearby bed, but he didn't.He wanted to be closer to her because last night's fire almost took her away.He looked at Nancy's trembling eyelids and knew that she had woken up."Nancy, did you wake up?" Dalton said gently.The person on the sickbed continued to doze, with only
"Nancy!"Dalton discovered that his voice was trembling, and he shouted again, coughing violently afterwards.Nancy had no reaction, and Dalton picked up the person and rushed out.Randall rushed towards the entrance of the gallery, following closely behind.The fire grew larger, and a horizontal beam fell down, blocking their way.The scorching flames were raging everywhere, as if the tongues of fire were devouring everything in their path. The thick smoke made people's eyes water incessantly.Randall stood in front of Dalton and said, "I will charge ahead, you follow me, and Nancy won't get hurt!""Get lost!"Dalton put the person down and prepared to carry them out.Just at that moment, a jet of water came in and extinguished the fire in front of the three people.Dalton grabbed Nancy and rushed out.Because the surrounding people didn't know if there were any people inside, they dialed 119.The a
Russell and Zoey faced each other, lifting the veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.He took Zoey's hands.The pupils of the two individuals reflected each other's faces.From past lives to present life and even to future lives, throughout countless generations, they will always be together!The emcee said, "The couple bows three times to each other. With the first bow, the couple holds hands and respects each other like guests, walking together in love and harmony!"Russell and Zoey bowed to each other."Two bows, heads touching, may you have a precious child until old age!"Russell and Zoey listened to the emcee's command. Russell lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Zoey's smooth forehead, and the two of them smiled at each other."Three bows, faces pressed together, happiness and joy forever!"Russell tilted his head and pressed his cheek against Zoey's, whispering softly in her ear, "Zoey, I
Nancy tightened her lips as she heard one after another derogatory remark.Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers curled up.Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "What, did I make you angry? It seems like you really care about this bastard!"Nancy couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to leave, but the man grabbed her wrist."Let go!" Nancy glared at him, unable to speak loudly and could only scold him in a low voice.Dalton sneered, "I just wouldn't let go, what can you do to me?"Nancy swung, not letting go, and raised her other hand to slap the man's face.Because the cheers were too loud, only the people next to it saw it.Alissa frowned as she watched Dalton clutching Nancy's hand. "Dalton, you really have no manners. Not only did you not have a wedding when you got married, but now you're also entangling with your ex-wife after the divorce."She grasped Dalton's wrist and said, "Dalton, we may not be able to
