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 recalled the information Hunter had given her. She remembered the relationships very clearly.Hayden's mother, Helen Kent, was a mistress who had successfully replaced the original wife. Helen was indeed beautiful, and once she had forced the first wife out, her position remained secure.However, Helen didn't come from a good family. She had two older sisters and one younger brother.A family with three daughters and one son—it was obvious what kind of dynamic that would create.Travis, the youngest son, was born when the Kent couple were already old. Their only goal was to marry off their daughters for a good price and use the bride price to buy their son a house in Westfell.Unexpectedly, their youngest daughter, Helen, proved to be the most capable. She managed to climb her way up to become a wealthy socialite, bringing the entire Kent family along with her rise.Travis, utterly useless and uneducated, ended up hanging out with Hayden. Even the scraps that fell from Hayden's f
Lena's eyes darkened as she walked out, carrying her bag. Joanna followed behind her and asked a question."Did you really want this bag?""Is there a problem?"Joanna shook her head, a touch of disappointment flickering in her eyes. She had thought..."Joanna, let's go. Let's go see my new house tonight. I'll cook us dinner."Joanna's lips twitched, and she forced a smile at the corner of her lip. "Okay."After leaving there, Stella directly called Hayden."Hayden, I heard that your uncle was hospitalized. What exactly happened?"Hayden didn't know what was going on. He only heard that Lena caused a big scene in the private room, humiliating Shane. He'd heard that Jordan had even stepped in.But Shane didn't want to say much about why Travis was hospitalized.He also personally asked Travis, who only said it was because of Lena.Lena was really troublesome, causing trouble everywhere.Hayden felt extremely irritated. He didn't really like his relatives from his mother's side, especia
In the morning, before Lena went out, she made breakfast for herself first.This house now completely belonged to her. She no longer had to grovel at the Dawson family's feet. She still had about 600,000 dollars in savings. From now on, she wouldn't have to beg for help just to cover a 3,200-dollar medical bill.Thinking about the medical expenses, she immediately looked up Hunter's phone number and added him on WhatsApp.But until noon break, her friend request still wasn't accepted, so she could only text him."Mr. Reid, I still owe you 3,200 dollars. Can you add me on WhatsApp?"Hunter did not reply. He had always been so indifferent.Lena sat at her desk for a while. Suddenly, she saw Vivian approaching her, placing a project contract on her desk."You're required to personally oversee the agricultural assistance project in Mossfell. Pack up now and set off immediately. If you can't handle it, you're free to resign. After all, whether you're in the department or not makes no diffe
She got into the car, and upon realizing that her travel companion was Hunter, that deep-seated fear buried in her bones resurfaced.Hunter had documents on his lap, as he spoke in a calm tone."There is more than the agricultural assistance project in Mossfell. The government announced a tourism development zone bidding just half an hour ago."Tourism development zone?The Mossfell were poor, but there was an advantage to its poverty. Its natural scenery was pristine.In the past, the authorities had hesitated to push for tourism development. Now that they had finally started to warm up to the idea, plenty of companies were eyeing the opportunity.Moreover, there were many locations between Mossfell and Westfell that could be linked together. If this entire region could be developed, the future profits would be immeasurable.Lena immediately turned on her newly bought laptop and searched for nearby attractions in Mossfell.At this moment, Lena finally understood why Hunter had person
When Lena and Hunter arrived in Mossfell County, it was already ten o'clock at night.The local official escorted them to a high-end inn. The architecture had a strong traditional style and looked very luxurious. Upon asking, they learned that it was specifically reserved for VIP guests.Lena and Hunter's rooms were right across each other.Hunter sat in a wheelchair, and the person in charge trembled as they spoke to him. He was so overwhelmed by Hunter's presence that he couldn't lift his head. Finally, after summoning up the courage, he managed to utter a single sentence."Mr. Reid, tomorrow morning, I'll show you around the neighborhood."Hunter nodded, and the person in charge wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly left.James' room was a bit far from here. When he found out that the two of them stayed across each other, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.Now, only Lena and Hunter remained. Lena opened the door to Hunter's room for him."Mr. Reid,
After a while, he said, "Come here."His voice was hoarse, so hoarse that it was almost unrecognizable.Lena did not dare to disobey and slowly approached him.Heat radiated from Hunter's entire body, and even the exposed skin of his neck was covered in a fine layer of sweat.The towel was no longer effective, so he slowly got up and splashed cold water onto his face, some droplets falling onto his robe."Mr. Reid, you're still sick."Hunter leaned slightly and splashed his cheeks a few times. His voice was still hoarse as he asked, "So, what do you suggest we do?"Lena was momentarily speechless. The drug Clara had given her was definitely not ordinary. If even someone with Hunter's level of self-control was being pushed to this extent, an ordinary person would have already lost control. Worse yet, there was no telling how long the effects would last.He was already sick, and his legs were still undergoing rehabilitation. If this affected his recovery, she would be a terrible person.
She signaled to Charlotte that they could start, and the livestream was instantly started.Because it was posted on the homepage, three thousand people flooded in instantly.Charlotte hid behind Lena. When she saw so many people joining, Charlotte panicked for a moment.Lena smiled and looked at the screen. "Hello everyone, this is a live stream for agricultural assistance in collaboration with the government."What are we selling? Apples, that's it."They're indeed small, but they're very sweet, sweeter than previous years' apples. You must have heard of Mossfell, right? The apples here are very famous."Someone asked about the price. It's 1.5 dollars per 5 kilos. We don't sell in smaller quantities. If you can't finish them, you can make apple juice—it's healthy."Well, it's our first live stream, so we aren't very skilled yet. Makeup? We didn't put on any."Lena answered the questions from the viewers. As she saw Lena like this, Charlotte's panicked emotions were instantly calmed.
Keon pushed his glasses and nodded at the document he held in his hand."I always felt there was something wrong with this information. How could such a renowned foreign company suddenly approach the Dawson family for collaboration? However, after investigating the reputation of that company, I found that it has always been quite good, and they have collaborated with well-known domestic families. This sudden approach to us makes me worried that there might be a scam. I originally wanted to discuss it with Ms. Dawson, but I couldn't find her."Randy's mind was in chaos, and he sat down in a daze, feeling like he couldn't comprehend a single word.After a long time, he finally asked, "Keon, do you think Lena really cared about me?"If you care, then why don't you believe him?If she hadn't mistrusted him first, he wouldn't have walked away in a huff."No matter before or after amnesia, Ms. Dawson was always good to you, without any faults."
Lena had hidden her boyfriend so well that no one knew where he lived or what he looked like.Hayden didn't know either.Joanna tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, "As long as we use this boyfriend to create misunderstandings between Lena and Hunter, it will be enough. Now that I have caught Lena, as for her boyfriend, it depends on whether Mr. Reid has the ability to handle it."She took out a pen and paper, and wrote an address on the paper. This is the address where Lena is currently staying.Her fingertips pressed against the paper, slowly pushing it towards Hayden."Mr. Reid, it was all up to you."This is Joanna's brilliance, she would never put herself in a dangerous situation.As long as she could be used, she would not hesitate at all.In the future, even if Hunter investigates, with Hayden's proud nature, she will never betray her. She will be able to hide by Lena's side for a long time.With this in mi
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,
