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
Zoey looked at Russell walking towards her from the darkness in shock.She forgot to cry for a moment, allowing tears to slide down her pale little face.She stared at the man blankly, feeling like it was a dream.She watched as the man opened his arms and walked towards her with big steps.Zoey didn't care whether the person in front of her was a human or a ghost. She ran forward and crashed into the man's arms, holding him tightly."Russell!" she said, her voice bitter and choked."It's me, Zoey!" Russell wrapped his arms around her and smelled the faint scent of pear on her body.The familiar cold air, which the man was accustomed to, enveloped her, and Zoey instantly felt extremely calm."Russell, I miss you so much. Wait for me, I will come to accompany you very soon."Russell's heart ached as he heard the words, and he gently cupped her thin, delicate face, gazing deeply into her eyes.The girl's face, which
In the darkness of the night, Maybach raced ahead, followed by three black Land Rovers behind.Konnor was driving the car, and Brock was sitting in the passenger seat.He turned around and looked at the injured Gilberto, his eyes filled with compassion.He glared at Zoey, gritting his teeth and said, "It's all because of you, you bitch, that Gilberto got hurt like this!"Gilberto furrowed his brow and said, "Shut up!"Brock roared angrily, "I will say it! Zoey, you caused Gilberto a great loss, so much effort was ruined, you are damn!"Gilberto's voice was weak, "I told you to shut up!"Brock was utterly bewildered and frustrated, "This woman has caused so much harm to you, why do you still protect her? You shouldn't have brought her along just now. As soon as you get on the car, I will make her self-destruct!""Do you want to die?" Gilberto coughed out a mouthful of blood abruptly. "Have you forgotten how you became disabled?"
Gunshots were constantly heard on the deck, and the cruise ship kept swaying.A violent storm raged, and many people fell in pools of blood.Zoey looked at Brock's trembling hand, her gaze slowly falling on the person lying on the ground. She widened her eyes in astonishment.Konnor actually took a bullet for her, and his white hoodie at the chest was stained with blood, as the heavy rain poured down and instantly spread, turning everything into a deep red.Brock collapsed and shouted, "Why did you help this woman block the gun, why!"Just now, he clearly aimed at Zoey, wanting to watch the bullet pass through her chest, just like Gilberto getting shot, and then press the remote control to make her explode to death at the moment of her last breath.He wanted to take out his anger on Zoey, but he didn't expect Konnor to stand in front of Zoey and take the bullet!Konnor struggled to push himself up from the ground with his hands and st
The storm raged on for the whole night and finally ceased, but it was a dead silence.After Alissa counted the number of corpses on the cruise ship, she also counted the number of casualties, with nine dead and twelve injured.The mercenary ran over and said, "Gilberto was not found."Alissa furrowed her brow as she looked at the unconscious Russell and Braeden on the speedboat. "Take them to the hospital first, leave two people behind with me to recover Zoey's body," she said.She couldn't bear to say "corpse", after all, it was too cruel.Taking a long breath, she continued, "The others will take the cruise ship back, and there will be superiors at the dock to handle it."The mercenary nodded, "Yes!"Alissa's clothes were completely soaked, and she felt a chilling sensation deep in her bones. However, she couldn't afford to be uncomfortable and continued searching for Zoey with two mercenaries on a speedboat.Two hours later,
The first year without Zoey.Russell used work to numb himself every day. He would go to the Maddox Group early in the morning and wouldn't return to his and Zoey's apartment until close to midnight.He thought that when it was late at night, sleepiness would come and cover up the pain of lovesickness.However, this was just his assumption.Whenever it was late at night, that bone-deep longing would surge forth, sweeping through every nerve in him and plunging him into agony.He used alcohol to numb himself, and as a result, he drank to the point of gastric bleeding. If it weren't for Troy arriving in time, Russell would have been in life-threatening danger.The second year without Zoey.Russell seemed accustomed to loneliness and solitude.He still left early and returned late every day, but he never drank a drop of alcohol again.When everyone thought he was about to recover from the pain of losing Zoey, Russell develo
Shirley had just wanted to say something when she caught a glimpse of the man's figure.Her heart jumped to her throat, and she instantly closed her mouth, respectfully saying, "Madam, if you have no further instructions, I will take my leave."The woman nodded slightly and watched as Shirley lowered her gaze and quickly walked away.Her lips tightened slightly, she didn't call herself Yasmine, what did she call herself then?She found Shirley's words laughable, but also felt that there was something wrong."Yasmine," the man said, striding confidently towards her with a tall and slender figure, his black suit jacket draped over his arm.Yasmine smiled gently and walked forward, "Didn't you say you would come back only at night?"Derrick raised his hand and gently caressed her fair face. "I missed you and Layne, so I ended the meeting early and rushed back."He caught a glimpse of Yasmine's dress, which was wet at the chest, re
At Desir Shopping Mall.Derrick brought Layne to the playground, and he sat on the side making a phone call while Layne played with the ball and other children.At this moment, a ball rolled to his feet. He instinctively picked it up, intending to hand it over to the person approaching. However, his facial expression froze instantly.The boy's face was filled with joy as he called out "Dad".Derrick covered his mouth and looked at the woman walking briskly towards him, his eyes cold and his voice lowered as he said, "Why weren't you watching him?"The woman glared at him and gathered her brown hair. "Our son misses you. After you came back from your business trip, why didn't you come to see us?"Derrick watched as Layne was pushed to the ground by an older child, furrowing his brow. He suddenly stood up and said, "You take him back first, I will come and see you when I have time.""Free? When are you free? Nikolas is your biological s
The evening sun's afterglow shone through the broken glass into the factory.Nancy knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, "Elliott, please don't hurt her, okay? She's just a five-year-old child."Elliott sneered, "Child? So what? Amiya is sad, none of you can be happy! Amiya is in jail, you all will be buried with her! It's all because of your existence that Dalton lost his mind! What can you compare to Amiya? Dalton is truly blind! What have you all turned Amiya into, such a good, innocent and kind person? Tell me, are you all wrong or not?"Nancy couldn't argue with him, afraid of angering him, as he would do something to harm Nancy."We were wrong, all of us. Elliott, could you please put the knife down? Calm down a bit, what you're doing is not worth it."Elliott pointed a knife at Nancy and said, "Not worth it? It's definitely worth it! I'm going to kill all three of you today, oh wait, it's actually four of you, because you're pregnant! M
Dalton was afraid of making Nancy dizzy, so he quickly stopped.In the midst of joy, it is essential to ensure safety and not get carried away.The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes couldn't help but become moist.It was really not easy to come this far.Dalton held Nancy tightly, a 6'2" man burying his face in the crook of her neck, and cried out in suppressed sobs.Nancy patted the man's sturdy back and said, "All the hardships have passed, and we will only get better."Dalton nodded, "It would be fine."Chelsea's call interrupted the two of them. Dalton and Nancy looked over and saw a woman, tears streaming down her face, filled with guilt.Chelsea said, "Nancy, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."Nancy laughed and said, "Whether there were misunderstandings or not, at that moment, we were expressing our normal and true thoughts."Chelsea asked, "Are you blaming me?"Nancy raised an ey
Dalton looked past her indifferently and gave her an affirmative answer, "Yes!"Amiya simply couldn't accept the fact that she had gone from being a hunter to being the hunted, being manipulated by others."How could this happen? How? Where did it go wrong?" She couldn't believe that her perfect plan had failed.She looked down at the baby in her arms, and it was not Dalton's child at all. Whose child was it?She looked at Sam abruptly, "Whose sperm is this? Whose?"Sam's mouth twitched, "I just randomly picked one, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"There were three types of people who stored sperm in the sperm bank in the past. One type was the highly educated individuals, another type was the wealthy individuals, and the third type was the lower-class individuals.Those low-level workers who couldn't afford to marry a wife, but still wanted to have descendants everywhere, would adopt such a way of behavior.Dalton smirked, "Wo
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
