"Secretary Eric, you immediately contact the Vancouver police to see if there is anyone named Adrian. Call me back in five minutes."Without waiting for Nina to eat anything, Leonard started to act. Nina anxiously followed his call as if it were a life-or-death decision.Five minutes passed very quickly, and the secretary called."General Manager, the police said there is no such person."This was also within Leonard's expectations; the answer Nina received sounded like the end of the world. She twisted the bed sheet, her thin shoulders trembling slightly. If they said so before calling to inquire, she still had a glimmer of hope, but when she received the answer, it made her completely desperate.But there is no one named Adrian, who is the person in the same place as her? Who is the person who has been with her all these years?"Secretary Eric, help me book two plane tickets to Vancouver tomorrow morning. Also, book a hotel room, check the weather and traffic in the past three days.
In the car, Leonard saw Nina and Lucas standing on the opposite side of the road, she stood there helplessly like a lost girl. Since he couldn't turn right there, he could only park the car and walk across the street.In the crowded crowd, Nina only glanced and saw Leonard walking on the pedestrian walkway. The ash gray suit combined with the white shirt under the sunlight was extremely eye-catching. Why was he so dazzling compared to others? he was so different; he was like an angel descending to earth.Nina saw the anxiety and fear in his heart disappear in an instant without a trace. She walked towards him in a daze, her heart filled with joy and emotion."Nina." Leonard called out to her, "What's wrong?"She didn't answer him but suddenly hugged him, hugging him tightly. After a long while, she slowly said, "I was so scared just now."Lucas grabbed Nina's shirt and looked at them with a confused expression."What's wrong?" Leonard asked quietly."Someone took my mother's things."
"Mom, someone is here."A brown-white-haired old man came out, looking at Nina curiously: "Who are you looking for?"Nina held the fence and asked urgently, "How are you? May I ask if Adrian is still here?""Adrian? Never heard of it." The old man replied, making Nina silent."Isn't this Wendy's house? Who has been here before?" Leonard asked."Who is Wendy? There was an American girl who lived here before, then she returned to her country, and this room is still empty."Hearing the old man say that, Nina felt very confused. Was her past just a fantasy?"Can we go in and take a look?" Leonard said and handed over a stack of cash. The old man looked for a while, then quietly opened the main door. Lucas flew in like a little bird. Seeing Lucas was so familiar with this place, Leonard knew Nina was not sulking or hiding anything, so the only person who could be sulking was this old man. And the reason he lied was definitely because of Adrian.Everything in the room was covered with a whi
“I hope I can help you. Leonard, when can we meet? We haven't seen each other for a long time.""As soon as possible." Leonard chatted for a while, then hung up. A minute later, the cell phone rang again: "Leonard, it's me.""Aunt Nefertari." Leonard's voice suddenly became gentle, as if the person on the other end of the line was not an ordinary person."Do you still remember me? Remember to come to my new book launch on the 6th of next month. Oh! Don't forget your masterpiece. The Cinderella shoe model comes out with a new shoe style every year, but it's too small, making it impossible for me to find a model. If this year's exhibition is still so small, then you go find a model yourself.""Beautiful aunt, of course not everyone can wear Cinderella shoes. "Okay, if it doesn't work out this year, I'll bring a model," Leonard said loudly."Okay, okay, this year I can introduce you to a beautiful girlfriend from DeVry University." "Oh," Leonard's mouth curled up slightly, "of course I
Leonard picked up the pen and tapped the table lightly. “Immediately investigate whether those companies have been in contact with other companies recently. It’s best to know what issue they proposed to postpone the meeting for.”“I know, CEO, it’s just…” The assistant wanted to say something but stopped.“Is there anything else?”“After you leave, Mr. Roberts will convene a temporary board of directors. He said that you only need to be in charge of project number three in the future, and you don’t need to get involved in the matter of plan A.”Leonard sneered, “Project number three or plan A are both important. If he feels that plan A can progress very well without my words, then there’s no problem.”For himself, Leonard has always had the most confidence in this electronic engineering method. In recent years, as long as it was related to this aspect, he had never lost to anyone. The only time was five years ago, the first time he held an Internet competition, he lost to someone nic
When she reached the sixteenth floor, she had truly become a rare animal for them to look at. Everyone was pointing and commenting from head to toe. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at? If you're so curious, then go ask your general manager, you'll know." Nina roared angrily, "Other than pointing and pointing, what else do you know? A bunch of gossipers who don't know right from wrong." Leonard heard the noise outside, dropped the documents in his hand, and walked out the door. The people on the entire floor immediately disappeared as if they had disappeared, and only Nina was left standing there, angry. She raised her head and saw Leonard standing five meters away with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm. "How is it?" He asked. "I don't know." Nina looked at him for a moment and then whispered, "Mr. Leonard, I came here to see the banquet hall." Her tone was a little unpleasant. Leonard frowned. “You don’t need to care about those thin
Leonard suddenly fell silent. He took out a pair of red high heels from inside and approached Nina, signaling, "Try them on and see if they fit?"Nina tried her feet inside the shoes but found they didn't fit, so she shook her head."I think they fit." He put the shoes back in the shoe box.Nina noticed that Leonard liked these red shoes very much, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are those your favorite shoes?""No. They're the most ordinary ones." Leonard held the shoes carefully and thoughtfully, "But no one can fit them."Nina looked at the shoes, they looked very much like those of a high school student."Too small, like they're for a little girl.""Really? Do you know what these shoes are called?""Do shoes have names too?" Nina didn't understand."They're called Meeting Shoes. One of the shoes in the Cinderella line." Leonard rarely smiled gently.Nina seemed to understand a little, so she said: "If you met a little girl at that time, that girl would have grown up after so many y
“Really? Can I call you Hatice?” Nina asked happily.“Of course, if you don’t hate me, we can still be good friends.”“Of course not.” Nina didn’t have any friends here who could be friends with Hatice, so of course, she was very willing. Moreover, for Hatice, she always felt like she and she had been friends for a long time.“I heard from Lucas that you’ve encountered something unpleasant recently. If you need my help, you definitely can’t be polite.” Hatice said sincerely.Nina touched her hair and smiled habitually. “Thank you, Hatice. If I need you, I’ll look for you.”“Nina.” Hatice felt like she was in a daze. Every time she saw Nina, she thought of Tawny. “Where is your home?”“Happy Street.”“No, I’m talking about your parents.”Nina looked at Hatice with a puzzled expression. “Do you still feel like I’m like Tawny? My parents are Americans, I grew up in Vancouver, Canada.”“How do you know?” Hatice felt like she was shouting at the world. How could two people give her the sam
Canada Victoria Villa."Sir, the plane tickets are ready; we can leave at any time." Ezekiel handed over the plane tickets. In the darkness, the middle-aged man did not reach out to receive them, but only sighed in relief."Sir, what's the matter?""How long has it been since I left this room in this house?""It's been many years." The butler's voice lowered, "But sir, you don't have to worry, I've prepared everything."The middle-aged man finally turned his face towards the faint light, his entire face covered with a special mask.He raised his right hand and instinctively touched his heart. "I should have died 30 years ago.""Sir, don't say that, it's all their fault, it has nothing to do with you.""There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, the important thing is to look at your attitude." The man took the plane ticket. “What do you think our chances of winning this time are?”He casually picked up a photo on the table, it was a beautiful girl around 17, 18 years old, wear
“Of course not. After Lucas was with Tawny, I felt that Adrian might have adopted Lucas, but only he knew the truth. I can guarantee that the child is not his and Tawny’s child.”Leonard clenched his fists, damn it, Adrian dared to tarnish Tawny’s honor.---On the yacht.The man in black hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words into Mr. Roberts’ ear. His face immediately became heavy. Why did things become so complicated? Why did the investment in the military suddenly stop? What was the reason for this?He immediately went into the 3D cabin, the entire screen opened, and a man in full military uniform appeared on it.“What happened?” He asked in a low voice.“Mr. Roberts, we suspect that Plan A has been leaked, so we suspect that its profits are not as good as before, so we will stop funding the Roberts Group.”“Revealed? Impossible. Even my nephew doesn’t know the whole plan, so how could it be leaked?”“But in fact, this kind of thing happened. Not only was it leaked, but t
At Matthews' house.Adrian was under house arrest, and Shanley was angry. He thought of a way to let Zoey and Leonard die together.He gave all his assistants work and locked himself in the lab. Adding the missing part of Plan A, he wanted to use this as his final bet.Shanley was already a genius in computers, so creating something related to machines was not difficult for him.A few years ago, he was also a participant in the national competition with Leonard, although he did not win, he made it to the finals, he was not is an easy-going person.For three days and three nights, Shanley locked himself in the laboratory, and for three days and three nights, he accumulated all kinds of hatred in his heart. The Roberts family would not stop at anything. Why was the victim, the Matthews family, the weakest family? Why did his five years of hard work become a chess piece in the service of hatred?The chaotic thoughts were like a powerful tsunami that broke all the shields surrounding his
He used the intelligence of the Matthews brothers to destroy the Tsviliov family and the Roberts family, and did the day the Matthews Group went bankrupt have anything to do with him? Shanley suddenly felt cold all over. Could it be that everything was Zoey's plot?---In a certain hospital, Leonard was alone in the middle of the vast ocean. He watched Tawny being engulfed by the blue flames, but couldn't do anything."Tawny, Tawny," Leonard shouted loudly and woke up, he found himself in a hospital room, outside the window there was the sound of birds chirping, it turned out to be just a dream. He sighed and lay down, his mind blank."Awake?" Esmeralda stood outside and walked over. "Your injured leg has been operated on, but it's hard to say whether it can return to its original state.""Tawny?" Until now, Leonard still hadn't discovered that this woman wasn't the real Tawny. Esmeralda didn't explain but handed him a morning newspaper.Leonard took the newspaper, saw the news, and w
The seawater seeped into the wound on his leg, the pain pierced through his bones, awakening Leonard's consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself swept into a cave on the beach.Tawny? He panicked and groped around but couldn't find Tawny anywhere, no wanted to face the truth, but his heart ached so much that he couldn't speak. However, life had changed so much, he didn't know who he would meet in this place. When Leonard tried to lift himself out of the seawater, he discovered Tawny."Tawny, it's you." He ignored the pain in his thigh and quickly limped towards her.The woman smiled, "Mr. Leonard, why can I still meet you in this place?""Tawny. It's great that you're not dead." He hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go for a moment.He had mistaken the person, not knowing what had happened.But because he had been electrocuted, Leonard's mind was hazy, and in his current subconscious, because he didn't want to face the fact that Tawny might be dead, he refused to
In the ruined basement, Lucas, Aaron, and many other boys and girls were huddled in a corner. Two days had passed, but no one had come to look for them. Poor Aaron had lost his temper; only Lucas was still reluctantly persistent."Your friend came to the bus stop today to ask for money. Don't run away, don't tell anyone else, otherwise don't blame me tonight..." Aaron and Lucas were dragged out yesterday because of resisting, Poor Aaron had been beaten very savagely; his face was full of bruises and large and small wounds.They had not eaten or drunk anything for two days, so they were both exhausted. They were walking and resting while carrying a torn bag. Aaron cried.“Aaron, don’t cry. If you cry, I want to cry too.” Lucas sighed. “So sad.”“It’s all because of you that they forced us to come here to beg.” Aaron wiped his tears. “I don’t know if I’ll ever see my dad again in this life.” Just thinking about it made his heart ache.“But, but…” Lucas wanted to say something, but it wa
“What does he look like?” Tawny asked urgently.“Tall, his face was pale, very handsome.” Skye tried to remember.“Leonard?” Tawny exclaimed.“It seems to be this name. Do you know him?”“Where is he being held? Take me there quickly.” Tawny’s whole body trembled.Skye hesitated. “The young master said that no one is allowed to go near that place.”“Skye, you understand me the most. Leonard is very important to me. Take me to find him,” Tawny exclaimed.Skye was very scared; she did not want to disobey Shanley’s orders because his orders meant death, but according to Nina’s request, she could not bear it.“I will take you there, but you must not tell Young Master Shanley,” Skye said fearfully.“Don’t worry, I absolutely will not tell.”So Skye led Tawny to where Leonard was being held, but the door was locked.“Leonard. Leonard." Tawny called out. Leonard was in a coma, but when he heard her voice, he slowly woke up. He used all his strength to answer her: “Tawny, why you? Are you oka
But no one paid attention to him. Shanley looked at Leonard’s reaction with satisfaction. After about a minute, he stopped.Leonard only felt that more than half of his soul had flown away."Mr. Leonard, how do you feel?"Leonard took a deep breath. "Not bad." He was calm and natural."The members of the Roberts family are rotten and stubborn eggs." Shanley threw away the thing in his hand. "I don't want to force you now. Give you time to think. Think carefully and then come see me."Shanley walked out leisurely. The years of living in the dark world had faded his kindness. He became increasingly cruel and heartless. After 5 minutes of torture, Leonard began to hallucinate and his ears buzzed. It turned out that this was the real effect of the machine. It made his mind dizzy and confused.---The melodious sound of the violin echoed throughout the great hall.He was feeling sleepy when he suddenly heard the host say, "Please invite the outstanding student of the Tawny Music Academy to
"Leonard, you are indeed a brave man." Shanley slowly walked down with a gun in his hand, "Dare to come here alone.""Is it you?" Leonard stood up as if the wound on his leg did not hurt at all. He looked at Shanley sharply, trying to remember who this person was. Leonard's mind drew a fateful face."Shanley?" Leonard asked."Yes, it's me." Shanley sneered, his handsome face distorted. "Five years, we finally met. Leonard, it's been a long time since we last saw each other.""What do you want in the end? Why did you capture my son?" Leonard asked angrily."At first, to deal with the Matthews family, didn't you and your father also use this trick?" Shanley lowered his head, unable to see his attitude.Leonard frowned; he didn't know how to explain the incident five years ago. Because he was just a pawn, everything was directed by his father.That year, Leonard's father forced his son and Tawny to marry for a purpose. He wanted to take over the Matthews family's fortune.It was only whe
