Abigail glanced around the room, realizing that there was no one else around. She quickly tried to coax Emilee into handing over the pill. "Emilee, could you give me that thing in your hand?" Emilee quickly scrambled up. "What are you talking about?" "The thing you're holding in your palm," Abigail said sweetly. Emilee shook her head and refused, "This isnโt something good. Of course I canโt give it to you. You want to feed it to Miss Carolyn, donโt you? You want to poison her!" Abigail smiled faintly. "How could that be? Itโs just a candy. I thought Carolyn might be waking up soon, so I wanted to give her a piece of candy." Emilee snorted coldly, "Whether it's candy or poison, Mr. Russell can easily test it!" Abigailโs voice turned cold, laced with threat. "Emilee, donโt be foolish and tempt me!" Just then, the door opened. Zoey entered, pushing Russellโs wheelchair. She raised an eyebrow. "Who are you threatening with a drink of poison?" Abigail, who had initially
It was almost 2 AM.Zoey was nestled in Russell's arms, listening to his heartbeats, which were somewhat quick. She furrowed her brow."Why is your heartbeat so fast? Let me check your pulse. You donโt have any heart problems, do you?" she asked, concerned.Russell chuckled lightly and tightened his hold around her waist. "It's because you're in my arms."Zoey smiled with amusement. "In that case, I should stay away from you. Otherwise, after a while, Iโm afraid you'll develop heart disease."But Russell pulled her even closer. "No, Iโd rather get heart disease than suffer from lovesickness."Zoey laughed. "How are you so good at sweet-talking? Have you said that to someone else before?""No," he replied seriously. "Iโve only said it to you."Zoey raised an eyebrow, not convinced. "I donโt believe you. With such sweet words, you must have practiced many times.""Is my mouth really that sweet?" Russell teased.Zoey nodded, then shook her head. "Not sure... Let me try again and Iโll give
The hospital door swung open, and Zoey saw Jordan and Dahlia engaged in a heated argument with the bodyguards, surrounded by onlookers.Zoeyโs voice dropped to a firm tone, "What are you doing here?"Jordan raised his chin smugly. "Of course, Iโm here to see my father! Youโve already severed ties with the Harmon family. Now, you have no right to stop me from seeing my dad."Zoey sneered, "I might have cut ties with your family, but I still acknowledge my grandfather."Jordan scoffed, "Zoey, donโt forget, Iโm now the guardian of the old man!"Zoey didnโt refute this. She couldnโt provide any concrete evidence that her grandfatherโs accident was orchestrated by Jordan, so she couldnโt change his guardianship status. Her only hope was for Matteo to wake up and tell the truth about that nightโs events. If it involved the Harmon family, sheโd have both of them sent to jail and legally take her grandfather away.Jordan gave a cold grunt and strode into the room. Dahlia shot Zoey a disdainful
For the first time, Russell saw Zoey with such a serious expression, and he could tell that something significant was on her mind. He led her to the sofa, his gaze deep and focused."Whatโs going on?" he asked, his voice concerned.Zoey recounted the events that had unfolded in the hospital. Russellโs eyes narrowed with anger."They actually dared to threaten you so openly?" he muttered, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.Zoey grasped his hand tightly, a bit hesitant. "Actually, I have an idea, but Iโm not sure if it will work."Russell gripped her hand in return, his gaze reassuring. "Tell me. Letโs see what we can do."Zoey explained her plan, and Russellโs eyes lit up with approval. "I think itโs a good idea. We can definitely try it."Russell gently smoothed the furrowed lines of Zoeyโs brow with his fingertips. "Your grandfather forgetting some things may actually be a good thing. That way, the Harmon family will think he poses no threat. As long as we havenโt set our plan in motion,
Zoey's eyes shimmered with a galaxy of emotions. She gently bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.Russell seemed encouraged by her response, and he leaned down, capturing her lips in a deep kiss.At that critical moment, Zoey felt a sudden warmth spread across her.She pushed against his strong chest with both hands. "Russell, wait... wait a second.""I can't wait any longer," his voice trembled, laden with desire.Zoey blinked, her eyes moist, a hint of apology in her gaze. "We have to wait."Russell, his breath ragged, looked at her intently, confusion flashing in his eyes. "Whatโs wrong?""I... I started my period," Zoey murmured softly.Russell furrowed his brows. "Your period? When did it start? Do you need me to go get something for you?"Zoey couldn't help but laugh at his last question. "Not that kind of period, Russell. I mean my... monthly period. You canโt help with that. Only the sanitary pads can."Realization dawned on Russell, and he buried his face in her neck, chuckli
In the spacious office, Zoey and Leanna exchanged a brief glance.Leanna tilted her chin slightly, and Zoey pressed the answer button on her phone, activating the speakerphone and recording.The sharp voice of Dahlia came through the speaker. "Zoey, when are you going to let Ariana out?"Zoey calmly replied, "Ariana needs to be treated for her illness in the mental hospital. Iโm being responsible for her health."Dahliaโs voice turned shrill and harsh. "Zoey, are you recording this? You always resort to this tactic! Why donโt you turn off the recording?"Zoey stirred her coffee slowly, not in a hurry. "Why would I do that? That would make me lose face." She added a sugar cube as she spoke.Dahlia's voice softened but carried a threatening tone. "The old man hasnโt been eating well lately, Zoey. What are you going to do about that?"Zoey gripped the spoon tightly, her fingers white with tension. "You havenโt been feeding Grandpa?"Dahlia clicked her tongue, her voice dripping with false
Ariana had been tortured throughout the entire night. Covered in bruises and marks from the ordeal, she limped back home, barely able to move.Dahlia, seeing her daughterโs pale face, rushed to help her to the room. When she saw the welts from the whip and the burn marks from candles, her heart broke with sympathy."How could Nelson do this to you?" Dahlia exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger.Ariana screamed in pain, her voice full of frustration, "Iโm dying here! Mom, Nelson is useless now!""What do you mean useless?" Dahlia quickly searched through the medicine cabinet for some healing ointment.Arianaโs eyes narrowed with bitterness. "Heโs... heโs no longer capable. Heโs lost everything in that department, and now heโs resorting to abuse to reclaim his manhood."Dahlia froze, stunned by the revelation. "What? How did that happen?"Ariana clenched her fists, her eyes seething with rage. "Nelson told me it was Dr. Zโs doing. That woman is working with Russell. Nelsonโs hatred f
Russellโs eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy."Zoey, help me."Zoey bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest. She steeled herself, her trembling hands reaching for the buckle of his belt. The heat from his body made her breath catch, and she could feel her ears burning with the intensity of the moment.Her hands shook as she closed her eyes, letting him take control. Russell kissed her greedily, not even attempting to hide the desire that had built up inside him.After what felt like an eternity, Russell finally stopped.Zoey moved slightly, her voice barely a whisper. "Is it over?""Itโs over... but then again, itโs not," Russell replied, his eyes locked on hers. The way her lips were swollen and her eyes hazy with emotion sent a jolt through him."Wait, what do you mean?" Zoey asked, stunned.Russell swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I want more."Zoey could hardly process his words as his hands moved down her body, pushing her T-shirt up to reveal her tone
Leanna stopped Evelin and said, "Evelin, what you needed to do now was to rest well, you know? Wait until you feel better before going to ask him for clarification."Evelin shook her head, tears streaming down her flushed face. "No, I wanted to go now. Mom, I really liked him, I couldn't be separated from him."Leanna also didn't know where the problem arose. "Evelin, give him some time. Since he left, there must be a reason. What you need to do is for everyone to calm down for a few days and give each other some time. Chasing someone too closely will actually have a negative effect."Evelin nodded, "Okay."This week, Evelin held her phone every day, checking if Layne had sent her a message or called her.She would wake up in the middle of the night, afraid that Layne would contact her and she would miss the opportunity to reply.I was very disappointed, but there was none.There was no information.She used to wash her face wi
After hearing this news, Evelin immediately dashed out.She got into the car and asked the driver to hurry to the airport.Woodmerrow was a city that never slept, even at 10 o'clock at night, there were people coming and going, and the streets were bustling with traffic.The driver did his best, but we caught four red lights along the way.When Evelin arrived, the plane had already taken off.She watched as the small red dot of the airplane gradually disappeared in the sky, and her heart dropped like it had fallen from the high altitude to the valley bottom.She didn't know why Layne suddenly left without saying goodbye, and she cried in grievance.Returning to the Suarez family, we see Toby and Leanna who had just attended a banquet. She threw herself into Leanna's arms."What's wrong with this child?"Evelin sobbed, "Layne, Layne, he went abroad without even saying goodbye to me. What should I do? Does he not want me a
After the college entrance examination, Layne felt it was time to confess his feelings to Evelin.The two of them have been together since they were young, and he believed that they would also be together as they grew up.This is a fill-in-the-blank question, and there is only one correct answer.He prepared flowers and a cake, ready to publicly confess his love at the class reunion, making everyone become witnesses to him and Evelin.He held a red rose and carried a cake as he approached the private room, ready to enter.The compartment door was not closed tightly, and I could hear voices coming from inside."Evelin, you applied to Woodmerrow University, didn't you?""No, I applied to Livogento University.""Why? It seems like Layne applied to Woodmerrow University!""Oh my, we were together from childhood to adulthood, always together. It felt like being with a student and a headmaster, very restrictive.""Don't
As time went by, those girls who gave gifts came to know that the things Layne liked were actually the things Evelin liked.They were very angry and, after discussing it, they had a very honest girl call Evelin out.The girl nodded and said to Evelin, "I'm sorry, really sorry."Evelin sensed something was wrong and wanted to turn around and leave, but she was surrounded by twenty girls.Among them were the short hair, long hair, and curly hair that blocked her in the bathroom last time.Long hair stood up, arms crossed, "Evelin, how shameless you are! You actually told us that Layne likes to eat fried chicken and french fries, when in fact they all went into your stomach!"Short hair snorted, "Evelin, how could you be so cheap! How could you come up with such a rotten idea? Aren't you afraid of choking on those things you eat?"Curly hair rolled up his sleeves and said, "You really deserve a beating! With twenty people present, if you
The girls started to show their figures when they entered junior high school. They didn't like wearing plain school uniforms and clothes. They believed that showing off their slim waists was beautiful.The three girls surrounding Evelin were dressed like this, with makeup on their faces and pierced ears."Are you Evelin?" the person with short hair asked.Evelin glanced at the three people and did not show any fear. "I am, is there something wrong?"The girl with long hair sighed and looked her up and down, "You, ate all the delicious food we sent to Layne?"Evelin blinked and immediately understood the intention of the three people. It turned out that they were Layne's suitors.She nodded, "Yes, you guys gave it to him, so it's his. He can give it to whoever he wants to eat, and you have no right to interfere!"The three of them instantly got angry and rolled up their sleeves, all ready to get physical.Evelin raised her hand
Just as Nancy was about to cut her own cheek, blood started to seep from Elliott's forehead.The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he toppled backwards.Dalton acted swiftly and quickly stepped forward to save Nacy.Nacy tightly clung to the man's neck, her voice choked with tears, "Dad!"Nancy dropped the dagger and ran over, "Nancy, are you okay?"Nacy hugged her again, "I'm fine! Is mom okay?"Nancy shook her head, "I was fine too."She looked at Elliott, who was lying motionless on the ground, and asked, "Was he shot?"Dalton glanced at the deceased man and said, "Yes."He looked up at the sky and said, "It was a robot drone designed by Russell."Nancy had a feeling of surviving a disaster, "I am so grateful to Russell and Zoey."Dalton sighed and said, "Yeah, if it weren't for them, we would have really perished here."Nacy asked, "Dad, were you stabbed by a knife? Are you
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
