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
Derrick parked the car downstairs at Kemp Apartments and shook out a cigarette from the pack, lighting it up.After quietly finishing smoking, he got out of the car and raised his eyes to look up, his gaze indifferent.I knocked on the door upstairs, and Liberty was pleasantly surprised.She didn't expect Derrick to come and see her and her son so soon. Her lips curled into a smile, "Derrick..."Derrick walked straight into her and bumped her shoulder. Liberty stumbled backwards, feeling the anger emanating from the man and sensing something was amiss.She closed the door and followed him upstairs.Snap!Liberty was knocked down to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the man who had turned around and hit her in disbelief.She followed him for seven years, and he had never laid a hand on her. Today, he unexpectedly hit her.She questioned hysterically, "Derrick, I have been with you for
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
Nancy told Dalton everything about her and Craig.Dalton's expression turned heavy after hearing the news, and he felt a mix of emotions towards Craig.If it weren't for Kolton and Reina's interference, Nancy and Craig would have long become a heavenly couple, and Dalton wouldn't even be in the picture.Craig risked his life to save others before the bus exploded, narrowly escaping death. Later, on the cruise ship, he once again rescued Nancy. If it weren't for Susie's help, he would have also drowned in the sea.Their everyday moments, even without simple kisses, they were able to give their lives for each other.To be honest, Dalton admired Craig while also feeling quite jealous of him.Back then, he had Amiya by his side, so even if Nancy appeared, there wouldn't be any possibility between them.Everything, one can only say, was a twist of fate.Dalton's face became somewhat serious as he looked at Nancy. "Nancy, I respected
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
