In this case, Zoey had already asked her many times.
Before, Leanna used to deny it, but this time she remained silent.
Leanna took out a tissue and blew her nose again. She let out a sigh and accepted it.
"I never expected that I would actually fall in love with a rotten cucumber."
Zoey smiled and said, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding among all this?"
Leanna snorted lightly, "What misunderstanding? I think he was having an affair with Christine!"
Zoey called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of hot milk.
She picked up the hot milk and slowly poured it into the coffee. "When you add milk to coffee, you can't see its original color anymore, so you can't say that milk is black, it's just that you can't distinguish it right now. Many things shouldn't be judged by their appearance, but by their essence. I think it would be better for you to directly ask Toby. Whether we separate or not, we shouldn't misunderstand e
On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."Toby was speechless.He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command."I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."Toby said, "...You will hav
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
Gilberto stared at the man in front of him, who raised his neck and his face turned red.The light was dim, making it difficult to see his facial expression clearly."I only gave you one chance!" Gilberto's voice was cold.Brock's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched Gilberto's wrist with both hands, shaking his head, "No, it wasn't."Gilberto's lips turned into a straight line, and then he threw the person against the wall.Brock knelt on the ground in agony, coughing violently.He watched the man's tall and slender figure, unable to free himself from the heartache.I saw Gilberto sitting on the couch, opening a bottle of red wine and chugging it down his throat. He staggered to his feet, leaning against the wall as he walked towards Gilberto."Gilberto, it really wasn't me."Gilberto clearly did not believe his words, "This is the last time, understand?"Brock had no doubt that Gilberto had just harbored murderous intentions towards him. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Gilberto
Once something is indulged, it becomes irreparable.Russell had a wild night, and in the end, Zoey was so exhausted that she didn't want to move at all.Watching the man fall asleep, Zoey opened her eyes and listened to his long breaths, her mind heavy with thoughts.She understood Russell's thoughts, and the consequences would have been terrible if there had been no cure for his illness.He was uncertain about his future, worried that he couldn't provide her with a happy life, and even feared that he would burden her. As a result, he became timid and lost his confidence.Zoey felt very sorry for him, she held him tightly and said softly, "Russell, I will definitely cure you."In the previous life, Russell killed himself for love, but it didn't end well. In this life, she was determined to give Russell a good ending.The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Zoey prepared breakfast and drove to the research institute.The experiment is currently in the stage of using mi
Zoey's body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at the door.She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "How did you wake up?"Russell was dressed in a navy-blue silk pajama, with the collar half open, revealing his delicate collarbone and pale, cold skin, giving him a sexy and alluring appearance.He raised an eyebrow and looked at Zoey, making a puzzled sound, "From what you're saying, it seems like I shouldn't have woken up."Zoey opened her mouth and forced a smile, "That's not what I meant."Russell approached, stood by her side, and bent down, supporting himself with one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table."What did that mean?"Zoey looked up at the man and said, "You, heard everything?""Of course.""Actually, I was the one, Hacker H."Russell stared at her deeply, "I should have guessed it earlier. Why didn't you tell me?""Well, you didn't ask, did you?""..."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "So, do you also have something to hide from me?"Russell
"Don't go."Gilberto's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with a look of grievance.Zoey's wrist, which was being held, felt extremely hot. She whispered, "I won't leave, I'm just going to boil some water and give you medicine later."Gilberto nodded and let go of his hand.He watched as the girl took off her cashmere coat, walked gracefully to the table, and started boiling water.He squinted his eyes, then closed them satisfactorily.Fifteen minutes later, Zoey took the medicine bag handed over by the manager.She walked to the bedside and pulled out an Infrared Thermometer, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine bag.She picked up the Infrared Thermometer and measured her ear temperature, which showed a normal reading. Then she measured Gilberto's temperature and found that he had a temperature of 39℃.She turned around and fetched warm water to cool down. She scooped out a fever-reducing pill and handed it to Gilberto."If you took the fe
Upon hearing this, Zoey's lips tightened slightly, and she walked towards the CEO's office.There was a gap in the office door, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard from inside.Zoey pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a woman standing in front of the desk, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall, revealing her fair shoulders. The black stockings under her short skirt were torn, making her look like a broken doll.The man sitting on the leather armchair stood up abruptly when he saw someone approaching.His eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, looked panicked. He stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said, "Zoey, why did you come?"Zoey walked up to him with a faint smile and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you. What's going on?"Russell looked at the woman, his gaze cold and icy. He was just about to explain when the woman burst into tears."I came to deliver the documents to Mr. Maddox, but little did I know tha
Russell wore a long black cashmere coat, which made his originally pale face even fairer.He glanced at Gilberto's attire, his thin lips slightly curved, his obsidian-like eyes seemingly smiling, "Zoey has something to do, let me accompany you to the hospital."Gilberto nodded slightly and said, "Then you troubled yourself.""Not a problem, you saved Zoey, and we are all very grateful to you," Russell asked, "Can we leave now?""Sure."Russell turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the smile on Gilberto's face instantly disappeared.His eyes were filled with coldness, like a hawk in the dark night, wanting to kill its prey with a single strike.He followed closely behind.In the elevator, two people stood side by side, with similar heights, giving off a strong sense of oppression.After getting out of the carriage, two tall and handsome men walked one after the other, attracting the attention of many people.After getting on the car, Russell glanced at Gilberto in the pass
Nancy looked at one portrait after another of Craig, and tears kept falling from her eyes.She held onto those paintings tightly, "Craig, I'm sorry..."If it weren't for her, Craig would have definitely found a beautiful girl, gotten married, had children, and lived a life that followed the usual routine.She was the source of all Craig's tragedies, and she was immersed in deep self-blame.Three days later, Dalton and Russell came back, unfortunately they did not bring Nacy with them.The village experienced a riot, and the villagers fled in all directions. Many people managed to escape, while others were captured by the rebels and sold to various parts of the world. They were too late to leave.It took some time to find Nancy, so they came back first.Dalton noticed Nancy's abnormality and took her for a psychological test, discovering that she had depression.After hearing about this, Zoey still recounted the matter that Nanc
Susie was not surprised to see Nancy, as Emmett had sent someone to deliver a message to her after finishing these tasks.She knew Nancy would definitely come to find her, after all, Nancy's child was gone and Craig was also dead, everything unfolded according to her plan.Originally, she also wanted Nancy to die, but later she changed her mind. The most tormenting thing for a woman is nothing but the inability to conceive again and the tragic death of a former lover.She wanted Nancy to suffer a fate worse than death!Compared to death, the living are the ones who suffered the most!Susie burst into laughter, her face twisted with a wicked and malicious expression, "Do you hate me so much?"Nancy said calmly, "I hated you because you disrupted my peaceful life. However, I must tell you that your plan did not entirely succeed."The smile on Susie's face froze in an instant, "What do you mean?"Nancy faintly curved her lips and
Your own mother?Last words?Difficult to conceive?A series of information overwhelmed Nancy, and she almost couldn't bear it and fell down. The tray in her hand also almost slipped.She closed her eyes, steadied her mind, held the tray, and held onto her last bit of dignity.Taking a deep breath, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen, placing the tray on the counter.The servant asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, didn't you bring it up?"Nancy forced a smile and said, "I just tripped on the stairs earlier and spilled some."The servant took a glance and indeed, it was true. She said, "In the future, leave this kind of rough work to us, you take good care and rest."Nancy thanked and said, "It's okay, I will repackage and deliver it again. If I stay at home and do nothing, I will become moldy and grow hair."The servant didn't say anything more, but watched as she filled two bowls of poached snow pear with hone
When Nancy woke up, it was in the middle of the night. She stared at the white ceiling, tears streaming down her face.Upon hearing the suppressed crying, Dalton, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins. "Nancy, Nancy, are you awake?"Nancy looked at him and pointed to her small belly, "Gone, right?"Dalton struggled to force a smile, "There will be more in the future, Nancy. We will have children again in the future."Nancy cried out, "Why did he survive the fire, survive the kidnapping, but couldn't survive that glass of orange juice? Why treat my child like this? What did he do wrong? That glass of orange juice was personally delivered to me by my mother, does she even know?"Dalton was worried about Nancy's postoperative bleeding and quickly grabbed her hand. "She is unaware, Nancy, what you need most now is to recover your body. You must not get emotionally excited, otherwise it can eas
Leanna noticed that Nancy didn't look too well and asked with concern, "Nancy, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe it was just my imagination."Leanna knew that there was tension between Nancy and the Eaton family, so her bad complexion must have been a result of a recent unpleasant encounter with Reina.She didn't think much about it and came to the entrance of the banquet hall with Nancy.Zoey had just finished directing Roland to move the roses when she saw Nancy and couldn't help but ask, "Nancy, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy curved her lips, she didn't want everyone to think she was too fussy, so she shook her head."It's okay, I was fine, just a little nervous."Zoey held onto her arm and said, "Today, you were the most beautiful bride in the world, and Dalton was ready to welcome you."Nancy turned around and didn't see Craig's figure.He had promised her befor
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
