Russell fell silent. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he cared about Zoey and the child.
Roland, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Zoey actually hinted at me when she was getting in the car. She said if a blizzard is coming within two weeks, we should enjoy this beautiful scenery while we can."
Madeleine asked, "Zoey said this, but I didn't think much about it. What does it mean exactly?"
Roland sighed lightly, "The antidote still has half a month of experimental time. Zoey's suggestion is to inject Mr. Maddox with the antidote in case of an emergency. Although there may be some side effects, it is still better than being controlled by Gilberto's drugs. As for Zoey, I believe she has her own plan."
Russell's thin lips were trembling, "Her plan was to save me, and she was working hard to find a solution to the chip. If it didn't work, she would go down with Gilberto. I can't let anything happen to her."
Roland said, "The probl
Zoey stared at the woman intently, watching as she took out a syringe and a vial from the silver box.The woman extracted the liquid from the medicine bottle using a syringe, expelled the air inside, and grabbed Zoey's hand to inject it into her bloodstream.Zoey grabbed the woman's hand and snatched the syringe, pushing the liquid away, then leaped up and pushed the woman towards Gilberto.Gilberto stumbled as he watched Zoey run out of the cage, his eyes filled with a sinister glare.His lips curled into a sinister arc as he pushed the woman to the ground and walked out of the cage, heading towards the outside.Meanwhile, Zoey ran downstairs and saw that there were many mercenaries in the living room aiming heavy weapons at her."Could you run out?"The man's voice sounded behind her.Zoey clenched the needle against her own neck and turned her head. "Gilberto, you're just using me to threaten Russell. If I die, I'd like to s
A private airport in the suburbs.When Gilberto arrived, Zackary had just gotten off the plane.The old man had gray hair on both sides of his temples, with a serious expression on his face. When he saw Gilberto approaching briskly, his cloudy eyes squinted slightly.He tightened his grip on the dragon-headed cane in his hand and scolded, "I thought you were bewitched by that woman, not even recognizing your own grandfather!""I dare not," Gilberto lowered his gaze."You dare not?" Zackary sneered, "You dare to confine me, what else do you not dare to do?"Gilberto glanced at the man supporting Sir and said, "Didn't you contact Uncle and bring him out to Lochcliff?"The man's name was Ernest Maddox, and he was Zackary's nephew.Due to health reasons, Gilberto had no children throughout his life. There were high expectations for him, but he disappointed everyone by keeping the old master under house arrest and showing leniency t
A dim basement.Gilberto watched as Brock's tendons in his hands and feet were severed on the ground. He wiped his bayonet with a white cloth.He suddenly lifted his eyelids and said, "Why did you repeatedly defy me again and again?"Brock looked up at him and said with a bitter smile, "Because I was only doing it for your own good, Gilberto. I was only doing it for your own good!"Gilberto stared at him with a fierce gaze and said, "I have given you several chances already, and you have not appreciated them. The thing I hate the most is when someone defies me."Brock's eyes were red, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "And what about Zoey? She has defied you not just once or twice!""Did you compare yourself with her?""Yeah, how can I compare to her? You like her! But does she like you?" Brock was unwilling, "Gilberto, I love you, I have loved you for many years!""Your love disgusted me!" Gilberto gritted his te
Zoey squinted her eyes and scrutinized her, "Would you be so kind as to help deliver the message?""Oh, indeed, I wasn't that kind-hearted, it was just a transaction. He helped me obtain the antidote, and I helped him deliver a message.""What antidote?""Gilberto poisoned me, and I had to take medicine every month, or else my whole body would rot and die."Zoey suddenly grabbed her wrist. Abigail was not lying. Her pulse was very irregular.She asked, "What words?"Abigail said, "He asked me to tell you that he was strong and well."Zoey furrowed her brows, doubting the truthfulness of this statement. It was a sentence devoid of any substance.Does this statement have any meaning?Abigail shrugged, "Maybe he wanted to put your mind at ease."She looked at the cage, reaching out to touch the hard steel bars. "The gaps are so small, are they that afraid you'll escape? It seems my cousin wants you to be a canary! I'
Alonso raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, "How did I perform just now?""You performed well, but you need to be humble," Russell held his forehead to prevent him from moving.Alonso pushed away his hand, quite displeased, "Where does a son pat his father's head?""If you press it, just bear with it for a while.""..." Alonso looked at him, "What do we do next?""You were admitted to the hospital, and Mom took care of you. The rest was left to us."Alonso was a bit worried, "What did you want to do?""Hold a funeral for me."Alonso said, "...Then I showed up."Then you can shed tears and faint again, go to the hospital, and tell mom to also pay attention to her emotions."Okay, your mother could definitely act well."Russell patted his shoulder and said, "Take a nap, you have been having bigger eye bags lately.""You brat, you've been too repressed these days, haven't you? Making fun o
Emilee looked at the man on the ground, his mouth and neck covered in blood. After shouting for help, she rushed in to check and found that the man had already passed away.Emilee, who watched Abigail grow up, was deeply saddened. She started hitting Abigail."It's all because of you, you despicable woman! You harmed Mr. Russell and also harmed Mrs. Maddox! I will kill you!"Abigail resisted, but she couldn't beat Emilee, who was used to rough work.Her face was covered with many fingerprints.Brent rushed up and, upon seeing this scene, he too was filled with grief and anger.However, he was very rational and immediately dialed 120 and 110.They took Abigail to the living room, tied her hands, and made her kneel on the ground.For Russell's crime scene, they did not allow anyone to enter.Soon, medical staff and police officers arrived.The doctor examined Russell and declared his death on the spot, preliminarily
There was a loud bang as the door slammed into the wall, and Gilberto turned around to see Zoey approaching quickly.Her eyes were filled with shock, "What did you just say? Say it again!"Gilberto lowered his gaze and said, "It was just an idea I had.""No, Russell had an accident, right?" Zoey asked the man, her eyes turning red as she sought confirmation. At that moment, she felt like a knife had been plunged into her heart, slowly and painfully.As she watched the man in silence, Zoey clenched the man's collar with both hands, her eyes filled with hatred and despair. On the verge of breaking down, she shouted, "What did you do to him? Tell me! Say it!""He died, died thoroughly," the man said, word by word, in a very cruel manner.Zoey trembled all over. The overwhelming sadness in her chest made her feel suffocated, and her hatred towards Gilberto reached its peak. "It was you who killed him, wasn't it?"Gilberto reached out and
Gilberto glanced at Zoey, who had her face covered tightly. "No, you can't. After the burial tonight, there will be no one at the cemetery. You can go and pay your respects then."After giving him a resentful look, Zoey withdrew her gaze and looked at the crystal coffin.Through the car window, Zoey couldn't see the man inside the crystal coffin clearly.She lowered the car window and looked out. The man had meticulously combed hair, wearing his favorite dark suit, and his shoes were polished to a gleaming shine. However, there was no trace of movement in his chest.Russell's complexion looked good, so it must have been the beautician who did his makeup. Otherwise, after so many days, the corpse would have changed color.Zoey stared intently, afraid that in the next second he would be pushed away for cremation.Fear is just useless, what is meant to happen will always happen.She watched helplessly as the funeral staff pushed the crys
The Jenkins family invited the big shots from the upper class circle to their full moon banquet, and most of them came to the party with the intention of just watching the excitement.After all, who doesn't love to eat the melon of a wealthy family?The Blevins family, who were once expelled from overseas by Dalton, have also become honored guests and have risen in status, all because the wife who couldn't conceive was abandoned and the mistress, with the birth of a child, managed to turn her life around.People who used to sneer at them in the past, now when they see them, they can't help but nod and flatter them.The banquet hall was lavishly decorated, with photos and videos of the little baby playing on the LED big screen. Dalton was greeting the guests with Amiya, going around.Everyone treated her politely and called her Mrs. Jenkins.Only the Jenkins family and the Blevins family knew that Dalton and Nancy had not yet obtained a divorce certificate.Dalton's excuse was that Nan
Nancy held Nacy in her arms, watching all of this coldly. Chelsea, who had once treated her like a daughter, became hysterical in that moment.The people around kept pointing and whispering."This woman actually targeted a pregnant woman. She is truly wicked!"Anyway, the child was innocent!"You saw how she hurt the pregnant woman, and she didn't feel any guilt at all. This kind of person should be cyberbullied!""That's right! Send photos, send videos to her and upload them online!"***Nacy tightly held onto Nancy's neck, fear evident in her eyes. "Mom, I'm scared.""Don't be afraid, I would protect you."Chelsea looked as Amiya's skirt became stained with blood, and she felt a sense of unease. She directed her anger towards Nancy and said, "Nancy, you wanted to exterminate the Jenkins family, didn't you? You and this bastard have truly destroyed the Jenkins family!"Bastard?As soon as this word came out, the onlookers all imagined a grand drama of a wealthy family."Could it be t
Nancy looked at Dalton and asked, "Did your mother have any thoughts of divorcing me now?"Dalton didn't want any rift between the two of them, so he spoke honestly, "There's something, I guess Amiya did some brainwashing on her. But it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because no one can influence me. The reason why my parents are acting this way is also because Amiya is really good at manipulating people. Nancy, you are in my eyes and in my heart."Nancy sighed lightly, "I know, I won't run away or be cowardly like before. I loved you, and I fought for us, unless one day you didn't want me anymore."Dalton's thin lips curved up, "I was really afraid that you would bring up the child and say that you wanted to leave me, and all that. We don't want to reach that point, you know?"Nancy nodded, "We could give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can go for in vitro fertilization."Dalton was glad that she was able to open up, and he embraced her in his arms. "Good. It's coming s
Carolyn, sitting in a wheelchair, twitched at the corner of her mouth, "Can that be done?"Carsen chuckled, "Of course not, I was just kidding with you."Carolyn pouted, "At a time like this, you still feel like joking?"Carsen raised her hand and rubbed her head, "My darling is going to be a mother, just kidding with you."Carolyn looked up and smiled, but in the next second, a wave of pain hit her, and Carolyn's face suddenly changed."Ouch, ouch, ouch! It seems like I was about to give birth!"Carsen hurriedly pushed Carolyn towards the elevator.Russell and Zoey followed behind, but their pace was slightly slower. By the time they arrived, Carsen and Carolyn had already gone up in the elevator.Russell took a deep breath, and Zoey looked at him with amusement. "Are you nervous?""Indeed, a little bit, I can't imagine what it would be like when you gave birth."Zoey held his hand and said, "Don't worry, nothing would happen."After a day of turmoil, Carolyn and Carsen's daughter wa
Eugene glared at Dalton and said, "You idiot! How could you say such a thing?"Dalton sneered, "Isn't this what you were doing? Treading carefully, ultimately pushing me into a corner and forcing me to surrender!"Eugene gritted his teeth and almost spat out the words from between his teeth, "Your attitude towards me is absolutely outrageous!""Sorry!" Dalton stood up, adjusting his cufflinks. "I couldn't do any of the things you mentioned. You can have Amiya live wherever you want, even if it means she moves into the Jenkins's manor, I won't object. With or without her, with or without me!"After saying that, Dalton directly pulled the door and left.Eugene looked at the closed door and lit a cigarette.He believed that everything he was doing now was for the good of Dalton. Being unfilial has no future, so are all the industries of the Jenkins family going to be donated in the future? Of course, there must be his own flesh and blood to inherit them!He felt that Dalton would start w
Nancy and Dalton returned to the room, and Dalton, worried that she was angry, immediately approached and embraced her."Nancy, I beg you, please don't leave me.""That night, I really had no recollection. I had already taken precautions, worrying that something might happen, but unexpectedly, it still did.""I knew that no woman could accept the fact that her husband had an illegitimate child. I had already told my parents that I would give up the Jenkins family's wealth. They can give it to whoever they want, because I will never acknowledge this child.""Nancy, I couldn't be without you. Don't think about giving up on our relationship just because you're having difficulty getting pregnant. My child can only be born from you, I won't acknowledge Amiya's child!""Nancy..."Dalton blurted out all his inner thoughts, how could Nancy possibly remain indifferent.She gently patted the man's back, "Dalton, I didn't say I want to leave you
Nancy noticed the panic in Dalton's eyes, and then her gaze fell on Amiya's small belly."Dalton, she was pregnant with your child, right?"Dalton furrowed his brow as he tried to grasp her hand, but Nancy evaded him."Dalton, was that the time she got pregnant? You didn't do anything about it, did you?""No, Nancy, I handled it. I didn't expect her to get pregnant either," Dalton quickly explained. "Nancy, we are doing a paternity test, and the results will be out soon."Nancy closed her eyes and said, "Dalton, let me have some peace and quiet."At that moment, Amiya walked over, her hand resting on her abdomen.Amiya's pregnancy was already showing after five months, especially when she wore a fitted beige long dress, making her protruding belly even more noticeable.Nancy felt a slight stinging sensation in her eyes, but she couldn't show it in front of Amiya.She asked, "When did the result come out?"Dalton g
After leaving the Jenkins's manor, Dalton did not go home but went to a bar.He drank one cup after another, using alcohol to drown his sorrows.When Russell and Toby arrived, he was leaning against the back of the sofa, looking utterly despondent.They were all dressed in casual clothes, clearly indicating that they had rushed over from home.Russell asked, "What happened? Did Craig come back to life and Nancy doesn't want you anymore?"Toby chuckled, "Your mouth was going to kill me!"Russell clicked his tongue and said, "So, what could possibly have happened to him?"Toby raised an eyebrow, "Well, there was no other possibility."Dalton raised his hand and covered his eyes, "Amiya has returned."Russell squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that you brought the ball back, which is why you are so down?"Dalton lowered his arm and looked at the two of them. "She was five months pregnant, it should have been th
Amiya knelt and looked up at Dalton, shaking her head, her face covered in tear stains, "No! Dalton, this was your child!"Dalton coldly stated, "This is not my child! My child can only be born by Nancy!"Amiya pleaded with Chelsea, "Chelsea, I heard that Nancy couldn't conceive anymore, can you bear to see the Jenkins family become extinct?"Chelsea furrowed her brows and clenched her fists.Amiya continued, "I was the only bloodline of Dalton. I heard that Dalton adopted the child of his rival, and if this child grows up and learns about their origins, about the death of their parents and their connection to Nancy and Dalton, will she truly treat every member of the Jenkins family with sincerity?"Dalton grabbed her throat and said, "Shut up!"Eugene stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "Dalton, let go! I didn't want the Jenkins family to end up in a tragedy!"Dalton's hand exerted force, and Eugene's hand also exerted force.
