Carsen suddenly opened his eyes, breathing rapidly.Looking at the relief on the ceiling, his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.He slowly sat up and looked towards the tightly closed door of the guest room. He couldn't believe that he had actually had such a shameful dream.Moonlight streamed through the French windows, as it was the darkest time just before dawn.Often at this moment, it also brings out the most greedy and darkest thoughts in people.He lay back on the sofa again, closed his eyes, and suppressed the desires he shouldn't have had.He decided to leave as soon as it got light.Carolyn didn't fall asleep until late because she was lost in thought, and when she woke up again, it was already bright daylight.Thinking about everything that happened last night, she felt a mix of excitement and embarrassment.She was thinking for a while about what to say when she saw Carsen, and she practiced quietly."Hi, Mr. Keller, good morning.""Last night, thank you, thank you for t
Zoey's phone was taken away, and Russell's strong chest pressed against her back as he lightly kissed her neck."Do you still have the energy to make a phone call? Hmm?"The warm breath made Zoey involuntarily shrink her neck. She turned around and pushed the man, saying, "You need to be moderate."Russell flipped over and covered her, "Tell me how to control myself, Zoey..."Zoey looked at the man's reddening eye corners, and her eyelashes trembled. "Wait, wait a moment, let me make a phone call to my master.""Done first, then call.""Finish playing and then..."All the remaining words were swallowed by the man, and Zoey couldn't make a sound at all.When I was able to make sounds, they were all very fragmented.When Zoey woke up again, it was already noon, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.Russell gently pushed the door open and saw Zoey open her eyes and look over. He smiled faintly and said, "Awake?"Zoey clutched the blanket with both hands, as if guarding against a
Zoey's mind buzzed at the words.The bodyguard said, "Layne wanted to go to the bathroom, and Ryan took him there. We waited outside. We waited for about five minutes, but they didn't come out. I went in to check and found Ryan with his neck slashed and several stab wounds on his chest, lying in a pool of blood. Layne was gone. I'm sorry..."Zoey asked, "At what time did the incident occur?""Eight minutes ago."Zoey pursed her lips and asked, "Did Ryan take me to the hospital?"The other party was taken aback, not expecting that Zoey not only did not blame them, but also cared about Ryan's injury.He replied, "The hospital is nearby, and the ambulance had already arrived and taken him away."Zoey lightly hummed, "Is Ms. Madeleine okay?""No, she went to look for Layne with us. We informed the mall to seal off all the entrances and exits, and we also called the police."During the inquiry, Zoey had already taken out her laptop and hacked into the surveillance system of the mall.She a
Upon hearing the man's threat, Callie's lips curled into a sinister smile."Threaten me? I am not afraid of threats!"Her smile disappeared, and her voice turned harsh, "When did you bring that woman to me?""Quickly, before this, you were not allowed to move the child!"Callie laughed heartily, "Well, it all depends on how fast you can give it to someone. I've never been a patient person! Remember, Subway Line 9, Exit 2. Contact me when you get there."The phone was hung up, and Derrick clenched his teeth. Callie was a fervent fan of Kristian. He discovered that Kristian had an unusual relationship with Madeleine, so he found Callie. He promised to help Callie get rid of Madeleine in exchange for Callie getting rid of Layne.He just didn't expect that Callie had a tendency for abuse, and now he is tightly held by her.He pressed his temple and dialed the phone, "How is it going?""Madeleine went out, and she had a bodyguard following her."Derrick's voice was harsh, "The bodyguard is
Russell and Zoey received the news of Madeleine's accident ten minutes after it happened.Toby and Leanna happened to pass by this section of the road and discovered the Keller family's car.Toby got off the car and found out that Madeleine had been kidnapped.This news was undoubtedly the last straw for Russell and Zoey.Toby noticed Russell's unusual behavior and asked if something had happened.Russell did not hide it from Toby anymore and told him about Layne's situation.Toby analyzed, "First, Layne was kidnapped by Callie, and then Madeleine was abducted by someone. Is there any connection between these two kidnappings?"Russell frowned, "We were considering that Derrick hired Callie to kidnap Layne, and now Madeleine is in trouble."Toby and Russell exclaimed in unison, "Callie most likely had a grudge against Madeleine!"Russell looked at Zoey and said, "Check if Callie was a fan of Madeleine."Toby pondered for a moment, "Does Madeleine have a boyfriend?"Russell frowned, "I
Kristian was the beloved youngest son of the Rosario family. Upon receiving the news of Kristian going to pursue the kidnappers, both Davian Rosario and Laurel Rosario collapsed and were rushed to the hospital.When the Rosario family received this message, they immediately contacted Russell.Russell and Zoey, who had been clueless all along, instantly saw a glimmer of hope. Regardless of whether this information was true or false, they were determined to investigate it.After all, the place provided by the other party was very hidden and not easily discovered, making it highly likely to hide people.The Rosario family used to wander in the gray area in their early years, but later they cleaned up their act and became respectable businessmen. However, they still retained their criminal nature as a family, and of course, their old connections from the past have not been severed.This time, the Rosario family brought twenty cars of people to their destination.At the same time, Russell
At a critical moment, Kristian rushed forward and bumped into Callie, causing her lighter to be knocked out of her hand and fall onto a cardboard box.He clenched his teeth and, enduring intense pain, pulled out the knife from his chest and stabbed it into Callie's back.The latter stumbled and fell onto a paper box, getting gasoline on their body, and the flames quickly surged up.She wailed in agony, "Why, I loved you so much, why did you stab me in the back? Kristian, save me, save me! I am the only one in this world who truly loves you..."She deeply regretted helping Kristian untie the rope at his plea. Little did she know that this action would give Kristian the opportunity to retaliate against her.Kristian knelt beside Madeleine, his hands trembling and weak as he untied the ropes for her. His white shirt was stained red with blood.Madeleine looked at the man, his lips pale. "Kristian, you...""If you want to thank me, then offer yourself to me.""At this moment, can you stil
Zoey walked briskly into the stairwell, and she could no longer hold back her suppressed emotions, crying softly.Russell closed the safety gate and embraced her in his arms.He knew that at this moment, no matter what he said, it would be useless. What Zoey needed was to let it all out.The motion sensor light in the stairwell went off, Zoey tightly gripping the man's T-shirt with both hands, her voice hoarse, "I really miss Layne, I can't bear how Callie mistreated him, he's still so young..."In the pitch-black space, Russell's eyes were deep, and based on Callie's sadistic personality, he must have inflicted harm on Layne in the past.With this in mind, he felt that even torturing Callie would not be enough to satisfy his resentment."I wouldn't let her have it so easy. Death is too comfortable for her."Russell lightly tapped her trembling back, "I believed that Derrick wouldn't harm Layne, after all, he still wanted to use Layne to lure you out."Zoey hmmed, feeling dull and res
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
