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
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
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
"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"Hospital operating room.Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown."Why!""Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even fi
In front of her eyes was a bright dressing table mirror. Zoey looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in professional attire and with her hair tied up, and for a moment, she was stunned.Looking around, she was in the room of the Harmon family.The room was very small and had been cluttered with miscellaneous items. It was simply renovated before she came back.Zoey raised her hand and placed it on her chest, as the sound of her heart beating rapidly echoed.She didn't die.Did she actually not die?"Zoey, have you finished tidying up? We agreed to meet at this time to go to the Candy Shop, don't be late."Ariana's voice sounded outside the door.Familiar attire, familiar words.Candy Shop?Wasn't that two years ago?Two years ago, Nelson found her and said that the Harmon family and the Maddox family had an engagement, and he hoped she would become his wife.She was full of excitement back then, after all, the man in front of her was her lifesaver.But Nelson had told her he wanted
The sound of knocking on the door was heard, and Ariana pushed the door open."Zoey, the engagement banquet has started, it's time for you to go on stage."Zoey looked at Ariana's swollen lips and understood in her heart.It was obvious that Ariana and Nelson were secretly involved with each other.In the past, she’d trusted them and hadn’t thought to question it. But now, every little detail was as clear as day.She smiled and said, "Okay."Zoey stood up and Ariana's face changed suddenly, "Zoey, did you change your dress?"Zoey was dressed in a white lace long dress, with silver flat shoes on her feet. Her dark, slightly curled hair fell to her waist, and her light makeup looked clean and gentle, like a fairy fallen to earth.“Doesn't it look good?” Zoey asked with a smile.Ariana tugged at her lips and said, "Good, it looks good. Nelson will definitely be amazed."Zoey glanced at her clenched palm and realized she was worried that she might seduce Nelson away.She patted Ariana's s
Alonso's mouth twitched, "Where do I go find it?"Zoey's gaze fell on Russell in the wheelchair and she said, "Since there is an engagement, it doesn't say who it has to be with. So, I want Russell!"Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips.Just now Russell said he wasn't interested in women, isn't that asking for trouble!Moreover, although Russell held a high position and had an exquisite appearance, he was impotent. Marrying him would clearly mean living as a widow!Is Miss Harmon from the Harmon family out of her mind?The air seemed as if it had stopped flowing, unusually quiet.The entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of Russell lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.Under the crystal chandelier, the man's pupils turned amber, as if they had merged with the snow, clear and beautiful, unlike those of a real person.Suddenly, his slender fingers paused, and he glanced at Zoey's delicate eyebrows, raising them slightly. His voice was cold and clean, "I agr
Zoey looked at the man's sharply defined face, from his eyebrows to his nose bridge, and then to those beautifully curved thin lips, all so perfect.She lifted her little face and her lips pressed against the man's lips.Her heart jumped uncontrollably, as if she had lived two lifetimes. This was her first kiss.She was innocent and quite inexperienced, extending her tiny tongue to lightly brush against the man's thin lips.The man started to breathe heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He wanted to reach out and support the back of the girl's head, but he withdrew his hand and let the girl do as she pleased.Troy, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and was completely shocked by what he saw.The aloof and abstinent Russell unexpectedly succumbed to the advances of a dominant woman!He looked very enjoyable!Just that woman...Russell's cold gaze met Troy's prying eyes, causing the latter to quickly press the button and raise the partition.Inside of
Zoey grabbed Dahlia's wrist and said coldly, "I will not make any statement, and I will not accept any betrothal gift. You're disappointed in me, and I am equally disappointed in you! I will leave the Harmon family tonight!"She let go of Dahlia's hand and went straight up the stairs.Dahlia stumbled as she was pushed away, wanting to go after and ask, but she was pulled back by Matteo.He sternly said, "Treating your daughter as an object, do you even deserve to be a mother? Don't bother Zoey!"Dahlia hummed and stomped up the stairs, while Jordan flicked his cigarette butt and followed suit.Ariana timidly glanced at Matteo and got up to leave.Coming back from abroad, Zoey didn't bring much with her, and she didn't acquire any new items in the past half month either. Therefore, when she returned, she still had the same silver suitcase as when she left.The door was unlocked, Ariana walked up to Zoey, and she fiddled with her hands in front of her."Zoey, are you really leaving? I t

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
Nancy was put on a black hood, and her heart was pounding.To be honest, she was very afraid of death now, because she still had a child in her womb.If she were alone, she would never become a burden or a weakness to anyone.As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try to survive.The car drove for a long time before stopping. Nancy was taken out of the car and was unsteadily pushed towards the inside.Not knowing what she tripped over, she fell to her knees on the ground.She felt a sharp pain, as her arms were supported by two people and she continued to walk forward.It seemed like she had taken a few turns before she was finally put down by someone.Nancy's knee was hurting terribly, but she still stood up straight.Because the eyes couldn't see, the ears seemed to be particularly useful at this time.She heard a woman's voice, to be precise, Susie's voice.She had only met Susie twice, but th
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
