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
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Yasmine lay in bed with no sleep.So much happened tonight, she hasn't fully processed it yet.She stuffed all these things into her head, from Derrick having a woman and an illegitimate child outside, to the man named Gilberto in the basement, and even her own origins.Gilberto said her name was Zoey, while Derrick said she was the surgically enhanced Yasmine.Which one is the real one after all?She thought about something, got up and sat down at the table, opened her laptop to search for Zoey.These four years have always been like this. Whenever code appeared in her mind, it would be accompanied by severe headaches, so she simply stopped thinking about it.Taking a deep breath, she endured the intense pain and began tapping on the keyboard. The pain was so severe that beads of sweat formed on her forehead.She didn't know why she was so repulsed by these codes, as if her head had b
Yasmine asked Layne, "Does it hurt?"Layne shook his head, "It didn't hurt. Mom, please put me down quickly. Holding me like this, you will get tired."Yasmine was extremely heartbroken. Layne, the sensible child, had already surpassed the maturity level expected for someone of their age."This can prevent you from getting blisters. When the ambulance arrives, the medical staff will apply some ointment to you, and then we can go to the hospital for treatment."Because of the cold-water treatment, Layne was still very cold, and soon her lips turned pale.The waiter ran over and said, "Madam, the ambulance has arrived. The boy's mother and father have also come."Yasmine nodded slightly and turned around, carrying Layne, walking towards the outside.The waiter turned on the tap and followed immediately.The restaurant gathered many people, including the boss, waiters, and people who came to dine and watch the excitement.W
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
