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
Zoey?Yasmine furrowed her brow and said, "Did I really call myself Zoey?"Gilberto nodded heavily."Then where am I from?"Gilberto wrote: Lochcliff Woodmerrow.Yasmine murmured, feeling quite unfamiliar.Gilberto wrote again said, "Go find Russell.""Russell? Who is he again?" Yasmine asked, feeling confused.Gilberto pointed at her head.Yasmine asked, "I indeed lost my memory and couldn't remember anything from the past."Gilberto shook his head as he was about to extend his hand to write in her palm, when he heard a noise coming from the entrance of the basement.Yasmine quickly hid in the corner and turned off the flashlight function on her phone.Soon, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs could be heard, and a flashlight shone on Gilberto inside the cage.The person who came in was the butler. He threw two steamed buns and a bottle of water inside, saying, "Eat up! I never expe
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
Zoey knelt on the bed, looking beautiful with her eyes and eyebrows.The wedding dress complemented her porcelain white skin, making her even more delicate and alluring.The wedding dress was embroidered with intricate and complex patterns of gold and silver threads, with the golden phoenix appearing as if it was breaking through the clouds and soaring high, exuding a vibrant and luxurious aura.The hair crown on her head was somewhat heavy, all made of pure gold, with red gemstones embedded on it.Zoey held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and stretched out her feet, saying, "It's time to find me some shoes.""Are you in a hurry to marry me?"Zoey glanced up at the crown on her head and said, "It really felt a bit heavy."Russell got up and placed both hands on the bed, "Where were the shoes placed?""Just put it in..."Zoey was about to speak when Madeleine walked over and said, "The proper procedures still need
Carolyn looked at Russell with anticipation, she swore that this time she would never call him "uncle" again!Russell cleared his throat and said, "Sister-in-law!"Carolyn nodded heavily, "Okay, Russell!"She covered her mouth with her hand, she was extremely excited.She finally got it right once, it was really not easy.At the previous wedding, she called the wrong name and felt upset for a long time.This time, we could finally hold our heads high and breathe a sigh of relief!Russell asked, "Can you please ask Carsen to be lenient and let me pass smoothly?"Carolyn looked at Carsen and then blinked her eyes. "Since you didn't make things difficult for Carsen when he proposed, he naturally won't make things difficult for you."Carsen: "..."He made Carolyn come as if it was a mistake.He looked at Royce and Brodie with a helpless expression, "My wife has already spoken, you guys come."At that mom
A number of luxury cars were parked in front of the villa. Russell got out of the leading Phantom, and then he also carried Layne down.A big one and a small one stood there, looking up in the direction of Zoey's room."Mom, come quickly! Layne is watching me!" Evelin jumped up happily, with two little pigtails on her head tied with colorful bells, making cheerful and crisp sounds as she bounced.Leanna, Madeleine, Carolyn, and Nancy stepped forward, looking at the lively scene on the lawn below.In Woodmerrow in May, the weather was already warm, and the green grass was sprouting. The luxury cars and handsome men were truly pleasing to the eye.Leanna cut in, "Russell, the cunning old fox, brought Layne along, wanting to smoothly pass through the level."Madeleine looked shrewd, "That's impossible, how could Royce, Brodie, and Carsen just easily and happily take Zoey away from us?"Carolyn was not one to shy away from drama. "Even if
May 20th was a joyful day for Russell and Zoey.The wedding was five years late, and although there were regrets, it was ultimately successful.The Keller's manor and the Maddox's manor were forty minutes apart, a duration that Russell found particularly long. He was eager to meet Zoey and couldn't wait for those forty minutes to pass.Layne, who was supposed to be by Zoey's side, was taken away by Russell.Russell said to Layne, "Because you were a boy, you had to be with dad."Layne shook his head in disbelief, "You just use me as a scapegoat, you were worried that they wouldn't let you in."Russell pressed his brow, now seemingly nothing could deceive him.However, Layne still comforted him, saying, "After all, you are my father, and I want to make sure you marry my mother!"Alright, this son still sided with him.Layne changed into a black suit, with a small bow tie neatly tied around the collar of his white shirt, l
In the dressing room, Zoey took off the intricate accessories from her head and glanced back at Russell, who was tidying up his suit."Nancy was so pitiful, how could Dalton ignore her like that?"Russell hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to talk to Dalton, misunderstandings can be easily resolved."Zoey frowned, "But Nancy didn't want us to get involved in this matter, is she planning to leave?"Russell pursed his lips and walked behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We'll see how things go. If they love each other, being together will bring happiness. But if they don't, being together will only be a torment. Let's just let things take their course."Zoey scolded him, "What if I wanted to leave?""Then I would pester relentlessly.""You kept pestering, yet you let Dalton go with the flow?" Zoey was puzzled.Russell sighed lightly and reached up to touch her earrings. "I let us go with the flow. As for Dalton, he
