The villa was already ablaze, thick smoke billowing, and in the distance, the sound of fire engines could be heard.Margaret instantly collapsed to the ground, thinking she was seeing things. She grabbed onto Randy's shoulder."What did you say? What did you say?"Randy's face was covered in ash, devoid of any expression. "Dad is still inside, his room was the first to catch fire, there's no saving him, there's no saving him anymore..."Margaret suddenly went crazy and tried to rush in, but as soon as she reached the doorway, a huge tongue of fire engulfed her arm.She was choked with tears, but still she braved the flames and tried to go in.Lena quickly ran over and pulled her away from the fire."You let go of me! You let go of me! Dave!!"Margaret struggled desperately, leaving several deep scratches on Lena's hand with her sharp nails.Lena was helpless and could only raise her hand, knocking herself unconscious.Margaret fell softly to the ground, and Lena dragged her over to Ra
When Lena got on the car, she felt completely exhausted.She didn't sleep all night last night, and this morning she has to deal with so many things again. Her mind is in a state of chaos.She even started thinking, who could have caused this fire, could it be Hunter?Just a few hours after Leah provoked him, the Dawson family experienced such an event, and Hunter was indeed a major suspect.But before this, she had also provoked Hunter, and they were both living well. He didn't seem like someone with such a small mind.Lena raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. No, that's not right. Maybe this time Leah crossed Hunter's bottom line.After all, Hunter did handle the gun, so he still had suspicion.Driving to the Reid Group, her mind was blank.Until she sat down at her workstation, she felt extremely dizzy and couldn't help but lie down for a while.But just as she had fallen asleep, a bucket of water was poured over her head, making her shiver and soaking her entire workstation.S
"Mr. Reid...""Lena!"They almost spoke at the same time.Hunter's eyes were complex, even with a hint of hurt. "It's me, what are you planning to do? Are you going to point a gun at me like you did last night?"Lena was somewhat surprised that he seemed to care so much about what happened last night.When I noticed that he was mentioning it now, his tone was different from usual.She frowned and said, "You don't need to worry about what happened last night, it was unavoidable.""Huh, you wanted to kill me, but you made me not care.""I didn't want to kill you. Last night, you... never mind, I believe the Dawson family's situation wasn't caused by you."She turned around to leave, but then something occurred to her, so she furrowed her brows and looked back at him."But Mr. Reid, you were a bit strange these past few days."Many times he questioned her tone, as if they were not superior and subordinate.But they were clearly just a regular superior-subordinate relationship.When she r
Lena originally thought that Leah was the one who set the fire, but seeing Leah's current state, she probably couldn't ask anything.After watching Leah being sent to the mental hospital, she sat down and rested outside the hospital, feeling completely exhausted.But there were still Dave's affairs to be taken care of. Margaret is currently in the hospital and Randy also needs some time to recover, so only she can handle it.In the following week, she arranged Dave's affairs very carefully.On the day of Dave's burial, it rained.Lena was wearing black clothes and noticed that Randy was no longer crying, indicating that he had already prepared himself mentally.She walked over and gently patted his shoulder.Randy pursed his lips, turned his head away, and held back the tears that were about to fall.Lena had not had a good rest for a long time. She glanced around the scene and didn't see Margaret.Why didn't Margaret come on such an important day?She was about to call Margaret when
When Lena woke up, the sky outside had already turned completely dark.She took out her phone and glanced at it. It was nine o'clock. Wasn't Randy supposed to call her at seven?She quickly got up and took a shower, changed her clothes, and when she went downstairs, she saw several exquisite dishes on the table, along with a note left by Randy."Lena, Keon and I went to the company."Lena instantly felt relieved, believing that with her and Keon's guidance, Randy would surely become an excellent president!She put the meal in the microwave to heat it up, ate it slowly, and only then did she remember to check her phone, which seemed to have a message notification.She quickly took out her phone again and indeed saw the message sent by Mr. H."Don't break up with me..."The message was sent two hours ago, but she was sleeping at that time and didn't reply.Now she didn't know what to reply, so she just left it hanging.After finishing the meal, she drove back to her place.She didn't re
I used to vaguely feel that he was not easily appeased, but I didn't expect him to be so difficult to please. He even has his own set of theories.She suddenly couldn't explain anymore, but instead stood up and sat right on his lap.Who needs so much theory when adults are in love? Sometimes a hug can solve everything, so there's no need to rely on words.For someone who was already emotionally fragile, words could easily be misinterpreted in various ways.She acted energetically and whispered in her ear, "You can do whatever you want tonight, okay? Don't be angry."His body stiffened, and the next second he almost wanted to swallow her lips.People were all tired, and Lena's waist was almost broken.The next day, she slept until noon before getting up. When she got out of bed, she almost knelt down.She gritted her teeth, supported herself on the bed, and slowly stood up, raising her hand to rub her forehead.No matter how he messed around, he ended up messing around until six o'cloc
Lena often didn't know what he was thinking, so she had to repeat it again."I couldn't go to Westermarsh, sorry.""You had to go."She frowned and thought about quitting altogether, when she heard him say, "Marvin has returned.""Who was that?""Grady's younger brother, he wasn't as easy to deal with as Grady, he was investigating Grady's affairs. I took you away because I was afraid you couldn't handle the torture he would put you through."Lena squinted her eyes and said, "What does it matter to me?""Lena, he would definitely look for you, because the medicine Grady gave you back then was leaked from Marvin's hands."Lena couldn't help but think carefully when she saw how seriously he spoke.With her current abilities, she definitely couldn't afford to provoke the Reid family.And Hunter also said that Marvin was not easy to deal with, so it was safest to stay by his side.But why did you go to Westermarsh?Westermarsh was quite far away, and with Hunter being in the spotlight now
Three hours later, Hunter's car arrived.James called Lena, but Lena pretended not to answer because Lillian would go pick up the call anyway.Lillian did go as well, and as soon as she saw Hunter, she excitedly shouted, "Hunter!"She ran towards him, and in one swift motion, she embraced his arm."I specifically applied with my grandfather, and this time I came here with you to gain some experience. You must not despise me."Hunter glanced into the distance and didn't see Lena.James quickly picked up his phone and called Lena again."Ms. Dawson, the president has arrived, have you come?"Lena pretended to yawn, "Sorry, I overslept. You guys should be settled in by now, so I won't come. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning when we go to the site together."James wanted to say something else, but the call was hung up on the other end.As soon as Lillian heard that Lena was also there, her face instantly turned fierce. Why does Hunter always bring this woman with him wherever he goes?
Lena had already been thrown into another car at the moment, and the leading man blindfolded her, his tone threatening."Ms. Dawson still obediently cooperated with us, otherwise, if we started to take action, it would be to your disadvantage."She didn't move, allowing the black cloth to cover her eyes.She could feel the car turning in another direction, and the people sitting in the car remained silent throughout.These people seemed more professional compared to those in the past who wanted to deal with her.The car drove for an hour, and she was carried on someone's shoulder and walked for a distance before being thrown down directly.The door closed with a loud "bang", and then the world became silent.She was now with her hands tied behind her back, only able to cautiously try to stand up by finding a fulcrum, and then rubbing off the blindfold from her eyes.There was no light around, only a faint glow coming through th
Hayden hasn't been coming out to these gatherings recently, and no one knows what he has been up to.The people in the private room saw him leave, and the voices of discussion became louder.After all, everyone knew before that Hayden seemed to like Lena again, but Lena was captivated by that male model and now she doesn't even want to look at him.Hayden walked outside the compartment and continued to call Lillian."Lillian, what did you mean by completely resolving the trouble you mentioned?"The private room was too noisy just now, so he couldn't hear clearly, but he guessed it must be related to Lena.Lillian was in a very good mood tonight and immediately spilled the beans about her secret with Joanna."Bro, I believe you also hated Lena, right?"Hayden clenched one hand into a fist and looked at the pitch-black sky outside."Did you succeed?"When he asked this question, there was a gleam in his eyes.
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
