Lena found his words amusing but didn't feel like saying anything, so she just walked past Hayden.Hayden grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the nearby wall. "Or maybe, you want to sow discord between me and Leah?"Lena felt an unbearable itch in the palm of her hand, and she really wanted to slap him.The CEO's elevator next to her opened at this moment. This was the first time Lena saw Hunter in a wheelchair.Hunter was wearing a dark suit, and even though he was sitting, he carried himself with pride.Cold, distant—keeping people far away.His face was still as breathtaking as ever as if the very light and shadows changed wherever he appeared.She was now pressed against Hayden, a position which could easily be misunderstood.Just as Lena was about to push Hayden away, she heard Hunter recite a sentence."Employee Handbook, Article 98: Office relationships are prohibited."She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. She had been completely misunderstood.And yet, Hayden insi
Lena only noticed her messy clothes but didn't realize there were marks on her neck.Her skin was already fair, and after getting angry at Hayden, her cheeks turned slightly red.Seeing no one behind Hunter's wheelchair, she quickly stepped forward."Mr. Reid."She held onto the wheelchair and said sincerely, "Are you going back to the top floor? I'll take you.""Go away.""Hmm?"She thought she had misheard.Hunter moved his wheelchair on his own and passed by her.Lena Dawson stood there, finally realizing she was not wanted.She took a deep breath. Forget it, no need to bother him.She found her desk, and coincidentally, it was not far from Hayden's office.There were several younger members in the Reid family. Although Hunter's seniority was much higher than Hayden's, they were actually the same age.All the younger members of the Reid family had to intern at the Reid Group.Hunter was born when Old Mr. Reid was already older. With his sharp mind from a young age, he was chosen ea
It was so ridiculous that Lena was completely stunned.Lena had to apologize just because Leah cried?She found it funny. "Why should I apologize? For breathing the same air as her?"Hayden was at a loss for words, unable to come up with a response.Leah held onto his sleeve, looking at Lena with tear-filled eyes."Lena, I deserved that slap yesterday. Please don't be mad anymore. Mom was asking about you at dinner tonight, wondering when you'll come home. Randy is on summer break too. You can't keep holding this grudge and making everyone unhappy because of you."Hayden seemed to remember something. "That's right! You slapped Leah yesterday—apologize!"Lena looked at the scumbag and the fake innocent girl then chuckled. "You two must have come from the same mental hospital. Your symptoms are identical—one thinks I'm madly in love with him, and the other thinks I actually care about her cheap affection. Maybe you should go back for treatment. If you wait too long, there might be no cu
Lena paid the taxi driver and turned to head back to her current place. But just as she rounded the corner, someone covered her nose.She struggled briefly, then heard Shane's voice."I told you before, if you make Leah angry again, I'll give you to some men. But this time, I'll skip the others. Travis has wanted you for a long time. Be ready for tonight—he's very rough in bed. I hope you can take it."As Lena drifted in and out of consciousness, she was forced to drink half a bottle of liquid.She didn't know what it was, but she felt her body heat up instantly, and the world around her became a blur.Only one thought filled her mind—if she got through this, she would make sure Shane didn't have it easy!She was tossed into a car, her head hitting something hard. The sharp pain woke her up for a moment, but soon, her mind sank into even deeper confusion.The car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel, and Lena was thrown into a room.Both Travis and Shane were Hayden's close friends.
Lena blinked her hazy eyes, trying to look up at him, but no matter how hard she tried, his face remained blurry.She forced herself to reach out and grasped his hand resting on the wheelchair.He didn't pull away, but he also remained gentlemanly, not moving any closer.Lena placed his palm against her cheek, her breath warm as she spoke."Give me water..."It was really hot.Hunter's fingers suddenly tightened around her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Do you know who I am?"Lena didn't know. All she felt was an unbearable thirst consuming her.Even the hand gripping her chin felt irresistibly tempting.She held his hand with both of hers, pressing soft kisses from his fingertips to his palm.Hunter's palm tensed slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly turned his wheelchair away.She had been leaning against the wheelchair, so when he moved, she collapsed onto the carpet.The room was chilled with low air conditioning. She could only see him heading into the bathroom, a
Lena had been applying ice to her face for half an hour. She heard him say, "It's getting late."In other words, she could leave now.She stayed put on the sofa, without moving. Her heart was still racing a bit. At least she felt safe here.Even though she was afraid of Hunter, it was better than going back to face whatever unknown danger waiting for her there.Shane was totally buying all of Leah's lies. He would probably use even dirtier tricks next time.Lena set the ice pack down on the coffee table and asked, "Can I stay here tonight? I can just sleep on the sofa in the living room. I won't bother you, Mr. Reid."Hunter was already heading toward the master bedroom. Seeing this, Lena quickly stepped behind his wheelchair and started pushing him without hesitation.Even though she knew he did not need her help, she was the one asking for a favor right now, so she had to act the part.When they reached the master bedroom, she spoke up again, "I don't snore. I'll just make do on the
The Dawson family was harmonious, and everyone even started discussing where to hold the wedding.Margaret held Leah's hand, her eyes welling up with emotion."My dear Leah has finally made it through all the hardships. From now on, you two must cherish each other. Don't let certain jealous little rats ruin your happiness."Leah's mouth curved. "Mom, Hayden and I will definitely be happy."Randy interrupted again. "If Lena had given up earlier, you would have been together years ago. Why waste so much time?"Hayden kept glancing at the clock on the wall. Before he knew it, it was already 7 PM, but there was still no sign of movement outside.He turned to one of the housekeepers. "Has Lena arrived?""Mr. Reid, there's been no sign of her."Hayden snorted coldly, crossing his arms over his chest, his face filled with dissatisfaction. "She's not coming again, is she? I knew this was her trick, and she does this every time."Everyone's expressions changed from joy to coldness and finally
Lena was planning to spike their drinks with some cheap drugs she bought randomly. But after hearing what Shane said, she changed her mind.She slowly took off the hat from her head. Her voice was calm yet laced with doubt."Mr. Gomery, are you willing to take responsibility for what you just said?"Shane had not expected Lena herself to appear here. His expression immediately changed, filled with hostility."Lena! How dare you show your face in front of me?!"Lena looked around the private room. "I've already called the police. Mr. Gomery just mentioned that Travis played with me all night last night, yet I personally have no recollection of this. So, I must have been drugged and raped by Travis. Since you claim you heard everything so clearly and sound so sure about it, I assume you'll be my witness later?"Shane was stunned for a moment, but when he snapped back to his senses, his face turned bright red.Everyone in the private room was a bunch of wealthy young men, all of whom wer
She immediately called Lillian, in her opinion, Lillian was another fool, very easy to deceive.Sure enough, after learning about what she had done, Lillian immediately generously wired ten million."Joanna, you are really amazing. This ten million is your reward. Once it is confirmed that Lena is dead, I will give you another ten million. This matter will become a secret between the two of us, and no one should tell anyone, understand?"Joanna looked at the incoming message on her phone, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.The thing that Lillian despised the most happened to be the thing she lacked the most at present.She needed money and worked hard to invest in herself, making herself more perfect and beautiful in order to catch the attention of that man.She knew that Lillian looked down on her, but she also didn't think highly of this idiot, just a cash machine.Although she thought this way in her heart, s
When Lena was being taken into the car, she clearly felt a burning anger in her heart, but she couldn't bring herself to express it.She tried to connect a series of recent events, but Randy's sudden change in attitude was completely unexpected, and she had no idea what had happened.The car drove towards more remote places, and she only wanted to stay alive now.On the other side, as Randy got on the car, he received a call from Joanna.His tone was somewhat cold."Joanna, do you really have a way to help Lena regain her memory?"Joanna's lips curved, as she looked at the sparkling nail on her finger, everything was under her control.She had said that she would create an insurmountable rift between Lena and Randy with Elyse's death, and now she has accomplished it."Randy, I could only try my best to think of a solution."In Randy's perception, Joanna was Lena's only good friend before she lost her memory, perhaps she
He entered the room and realized that Elyse's living space was actually a toilet. Inside, he couldn't even stretch his legs. By now, her parents had already thrown out things like blankets, leaving only a small bed frame. On the highest window next to it, there was a row of her belongings.If her parents were taller, it is estimated that these things would have been thrown out.The couple saw Randy running around in the room and immediately became anxious. They quickly grabbed the broom nearby and rushed towards him."Who are you, after all?! Get out of our house immediately, is it that bitch Elyse who bribed you to come and deal with us?! Get out! Get out!""That little bastard was probably scared off by us, so he didn't dare to come back. Haha, did you think we would be afraid of you? We still beat him!"Randy's current state was off. He swept away everything blocking his path in front of him and then tiptoed to grab the things on Elyse's window
Randy suddenly buried his head in the steering wheel, his tone somewhat mocking."Lena, do you think that Elyse was an extremely selfish person in your eyes, not worth me doing anything for her?"Lena stopped talking, and even though Elyse had her shining points, it didn't change the fact that she was indeed selfish.Randy seemed a bit tired, his mouth twitched, "Forget it, you can go down."Lena felt a wave of sadness and at that moment, she didn't feel like continuing the conversation with him. She simply opened the car door and walked out.Randy said that there were people waiting for her below, but she continued walking forward for several hundred meters without encountering anyone. Instead, footsteps could be heard behind her.She turned around and what she saw was Randy.He followed quietly, but he followed from a distance.The scene was like when he disappeared in the snow, and she went to look for him that day. Both of
There was a scream from the surroundings, and doctors came to examine, but they all only said one sentence."There was no need for rescue."Randy was ice-cold all over until Elyse's body was brought into the morgue, and only then did he snap out of such chaos.The nanny at home called and asked when he would return.He pressed the answer button, but he felt his throat being squeezed, unable to say a word.He didn't know how he drove home, he felt very cold and tired all over.Entering the entrance, he lowered his head and quietly changed his shoes, when he heard Lena's voice."Why did you come back so late?"Lena sat in the hall, and there was a gift box on the coffee table, which was supposed to be her birthday present.Lena had originally left, but then she came back, thinking that it would be better to give him the gift in person when he turned twenty.But I didn't expect to wait until now, and in another hour,
Randy stood by the bedside, raised his hand to rub her head, but his hand froze in mid-air and didn't come down for a while.Elyse didn't notice his actions, she just cried to herself, grabbing her hair with both hands, as if clutching a handful of dry straw.He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.At that moment, he felt like a jerk.He turned and walked out, going to the smoking area in the hospital where he smoked two cigarettes, watching people coming and going outside, feeling that this world was so unreal.The phone rang at this moment, it was Lena calling."Randy, I just delivered a gift to your house. The nanny said you were not there. Today is your birthday, happy birthday."The gift was chosen by her and Joanna together, so it should have pleased him.In the evening, she went shopping with Joanna. She couldn't spend New Year's Eve alone.Randy extinguished the cigarette in his hand. In fact, he didn't
When Randy arrived at the place, he realized that Elyse was covered in bruises and even her clothes were torn.She leaned against a hidden spot and cried, her eyes swollen. When she heard footsteps, she huddled up, until Randy's voice sounded."Elyse?"Elyse shrank back, raising her head in disbelief, her eyes filled with a strong will to survive."Randy, save me, I didn't want to die yet! Save me, my child, save the child."Randy frowned and, without having time to ask her what had happened, he picked her up and placed her directly onto the car.But Elyse's spirits were clearly not very good, and she couldn't help but tremble at the slightest sound.When she was being taken to the hospital, she absolutely refused to go in with the doctor, gripping the door frame with both hands.Randy only then noticed that almost all of her nails had broken.It hurt just to look at it."Randy, save me, you're the only one I can
Her eyes were red with hatred, her fingernails tightly gripping the ground, but they broke, leaving behind a string of crimson marks.She would not let Lena go, if she could stay alive.If she could have lived!*Lena drove back to Randy's mansion and asked around the servants, only to find out that he had not returned.She started to worry, just as she was about to call the police, she saw Randy walking in from outside.There was nothing happening.She took a deep breath and asked him, "Where did you go? Do you know that Elyse is looking for you, and what does that text message you sent mean?"Randy didn't expect her to be there, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes, with some confusion, "What message?"Lena also guessed that perhaps it was Elyse who sent it using his phone."Not a big deal, where did you go? You didn't even bring your phone."Randy was changing his shoes at the entrance, his tone was very
Elyse was terrified and frozen in fear. She had already messaged Lena using Randy's phone, in order to coordinate with Joanna and lure Lena out. But now, she was telling her that Lena had actually taken Randy away directly!Is Lena, this bitch, not planning to pretend anymore and is she going to directly attack Randy?Elyse angrily pushed open the door of the ward and immediately saw Lena.Lena had just arrived and was planning to ask Randy what the message meant.When she saw Elyse, she almost guessed that she might have been tricked. She stood up and was about to leave, but Elyse instantly grabbed her arm."Lena, where on earth did you take Randy? Even though you two are not biologically related, he has been living with you for so many years. You are actually going to kill him!"Lena furrowed her brow, not knowing what this person was saying."Let go."Elyse immediately knelt down on the ground. She was truly afraid that Rand
