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

    Lena raised an eyebrow, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes. She could not believe how stupid Shane was.Saying such things in front of the police?And this was Moonlight Lounge. The fact that the police dared to show up meant they were ready to go head-to-head with power.Sure enough, the police officer immediately restrained Shane and said, "I don't care who you are!"Lena smirked, "So, Mr. Gomery, where's Travis? Where is he?"Shane had just texted Lena that Travis was in the hospital. Now, Lena was clearly trying to slap him in the face with her question.His lips trembled and he had never been so infuriated before.The police officer pressed down harder on Shane's arm, demanding, "Just tell us where the other person is!"Shane felt humiliated, with everyone in the private room who had just been flattering and praising him now watching the show.His pride was trampled on the ground by Lena!Lena! He would definitely not let Lena pass!A crowd had gathered outside the private r

    He withdrew his gaze and asked, "What's going on?"At the mention of it, Jordan's tone turned a bit impatient. "That brat stirred up trouble again. I've been sick of him for a while now."The group walked out of the private room.Lena had noticed something earlier. Hayden's circle was filled with the upper echelons of the elite circle.In contrast, those around Hunter were heirs from prominent families, the ones at the very core of the privileged class.They were reckless, arrogant, and well-mannered, yet also very lofty.She let out a soft sigh and went to return the clothes to Joanna.Joanna hesitated before asking, "Lena, do you really not care about Hayden anymore?"Lena changed back into her own clothes and nodded. "I've thought it through. I'm done being a pathetic fool."Joanna's eyes flickered with complexity as she put away her work uniform. "So, you really went to the Reid Group just for Hunter?"Lena chuckled and said, "No way! When I first lost my memory, I thought maybe H

    If she could turn back the time, Lena would have dragged herself to the Dawson family last night, even if she had to crawl there while sick.She took a deep breath and completely ignored him.Hayden felt satisfied. He had known Lena for years, but ever since Leah appeared five years ago, everyone had naturally gravitated toward her. She was like a fragile doll, too pitiful to ignore.Unconsciously, everyone had sided with Leah, and it had become completely normal.Everyone thought Lena was just throwing a tantrum. They assumed she would go back sooner or later anyway.When the drinks arrived, everyone thanked Vivian. No one remembered that it was Lena who ordered them.Lena could not be bothered to argue over something so trivial. She focused on completing the documents in her hands.She had an appointment with a real estate agent that afternoon to look at some houses. Since she had received a free 3.2 million dollars last night, there was no reason to keep living in that rundown plac

    Lena acted as if she had not heard a word from them and instead turned to her agent. "I just want a two-unit building. I'm not considering standalone or townhouses. Do you have any other properties available?""Yes, there's a two-unit building right near here. Would you like to take a look now, Ms. Dawson?"Lena nodded and followed the agent without hesitation.Margaret realized she was being ignored and became furious."Lena! What exactly are you doing here today? Can't you just stay out of trouble?!"She walked briskly towards Lena and grabbed her wrist. "We agreed to break off the engagement last night. You've stood so many people up, and you won't answer my calls. Now you show up here like nothing happened. Do you have no shame?!"Lena yanked her hand away, her expression icy. "Are you done, Ms. Sullivan?"Margaret was stunned, caught off guard by this form of address."What... what did you just call me?"Lena smiled at her and said, "Ms. Sullivan. Didn't I say I want to cut ties

    Tonight, Lena stayed at the hotel again—still in Hunter's suite.When Lena left home in the morning, she took the room card with her. After spending the afternoon dealing with the hassle of buying a house, she was too exhausted to think. Without hesitation, she swiped the card and entered the room.She leaned against the sofa and yawned.In a daze, she heard the sound of water coming from the master bedroom's bathroom. As she looked up, she saw Hunter.He was wiping his hair, with only a towel wrapped around his waist.He was not sitting in a wheelchair now, but his feet were touching the ground. However, he walked very slowly.Lena snapped back to her senses in an instant. She immediately stood up from the sofa.Hunter stood still and wiped his hair twice casually. He glanced at the door, probably wondering how she had come in.It was the first time that Lena saw Hunter with his chest exposed. Water droplets rolled down from his neck, following the contours of his muscular body, and

    Lena booked herself a new room. When she was about to lie down and rest, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from the workgroup.She opened it and found that her colleagues in the department were gossiping about her.Someone took a picture of her from the back."Why is Lena staying at a hotel?""Maybe she has plans with someone in the evening. She always has many men around her, right?""She was only able to join the company because of Mr. Reid."Lena raised an eyebrow. This group of people probably forgot about that she was also in the group.She sent a message to the group."How many men are there around me? How come I don't know about that?"The discussion within the group was originally lively, and everyone even started speculating that she had joined the Reid Group by sleeping with Hayden several times. However, when they saw Lena's message, they remembered that she had already been invited into the group.The group instantly became quiet, and Lena directly mentioned th

    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
