Chapter 71

Author: Ninth Cup
Winter instinctively looked at the name engraved on the tombstone.

Elsa Lowe.

A photo was set into the black stone. The girl in the picture had pale skin and delicate features. There was a softness in her eyes as she smiled gently at the camera.

Winter was certain she had never seen her before.

Who was she?

The wind cut through her coat, turning her body stiff with cold. Her teeth chattered as she scanned her surroundings in confusion.

There were no other graves. Only withered trees and st

  • Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done   Chapter 368

    Even when Zac had made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to pursue her, Chris had still held back when he went after him.Later, when the Davis family and the Zeller family teamed up against Xander Corporation, Chris still hadn’t touched Eugene.It wasn’t hard to guess why Chris had finally made a move now.It was because of Winter.Winter wasn’t especially surprised. When Chris wanted to ruin someone, he would never handle it politely.William added, “Zac is getting engaged the day after tomorrow. I heard he and his fiancée went in for health screenings today.”Winter only said, “Oh. I saw the news about his engagement.”“You don’t feel anything about it?” William leaned back in his seat. “You don’t even have to guess. Zac is being forced into it. The person he likes is you.”The words “being forced into it” made Winter think of Chris.Back then, Chris had also been “forced” to marry her.In the end, he had fooled her with a fake marriage certificate.For a moment,

    Winter stopped, and General stopped beside her.She stood beneath the porch, sunlight spilling over her. Then she turned back to look at Mr. White, who remained inside, just out of reach of the sun. Her throat tightened.“Mr. White, why are you asking me that?”Mr. White took a few steps forward. His voice sounded even hoarser than usual. “You look unhappy.”Before Winter had first come to the Xander estate, Mr. White had been in a car accident. The car had exploded, leaving burns on his face and damaging his vocal cords.He had only been discharged from the hospital and returned to the estate a month after Winter arrived. Because of the burns, he had undergone some reconstruction on his face, but the damage to his vocal cords had never healed. His voice had been hoarse ever since.Winter patted his shoulder and smiled. “I’m not unhappy. Actually, after I stopped loving Chris, I feel much lighter than before.”“Do you really?” Mr. White asked.“That’s enough, Mr. White. Let’s n

    “Yes, Mr. Xander.”The medical staff were led down to the basement by Gavin.The basement door opened, then closed again.“What are you doing? What are you trying to do?” Skyla struggled violently as she watched the doctor and nurses approach her.Gavin stood off to the side. Then he walked over and struck her sharply at the back of the neck.Skyla, who had been thrashing just moments ago, lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.Gavin looked at the stunned medical staff and said flatly, “You can proceed with the bone marrow aspiration.”For someone ruthless enough to kill Mrs. Young, there was no need to waste anesthesia.*When Winter woke, a dim lamp was on in the room.It was enough for her to see where she was.The moment she recognized the familiar room, she sat up abruptly.But very quickly, she realized this wasn’t the villa on the island.There was no sound of waves. No floral scent in the air. Everything in the room looked almost the same at first glance, b

    The basement door slammed shut.The bodyguards left as well.Skyla collapsed to the floor and stared at the heavy door. Her tears were about to fall, but the moment she remembered that Chris had promised to publicly distance himself from Winter, she forced them back.Then she smiled.“Winter, this time, I’m going to take Chris back from you again.”Chris walked into the living room on the first floor. Outside, the sky had already begun to brighten.He glanced at the wall clock.Five thirty.At this hour, Winter was still asleep.“Mr. Xander, are you really going to agree to her terms?” Gavin asked.He knew better than anyone what Chris and Winter’s relationship was like right now.If Chris publicly told the press that he had nothing to do with Winter, then whatever fragile connection still remained between them would collapse completely. It was already like a storm-battered house by the sea. One more gust of wind would be enough to tear it apart.Chris said nothing.He wal

    “But if you lie to me, I’ll never tell you where the antidote is. I would rather die than tell you.”Her voice softened. “So, Chris, don’t lie to me. You know me. I’m not afraid of pain, and I’m not afraid of death. You could use every torture device on that wall, and I still wouldn’t be scared.”Chris put out his cigarette and turned to go upstairs.Skyla let out a low laugh.After Chris publicly clarified to the media that he had nothing to do with Winter, the next step would be making the two of them divorce. Then Chris would marry her and bring her into the Xander family. He would take her into Blackwood Manor.One day, she would become Chris’s wife.His only woman.Just before he went upstairs, Chris suddenly stopped.“You killed Jacob, didn’t you?”Skyla’s face turned deathly pale under the light. She stared at Chris’s back, her amber eyes clouded with a bloodshot sheen.She lowered her head and grabbed at her hair, her fingers trembling.A long moment passed before sh

    After Skyla finished speaking, the basement went so quiet that not even a breath could be heard.It was deathly still.Chris stood on the steps, his shadow stretched long by the light. It reached across the wall and fell into the corner.Ash gathered at the end of his cigarette, then scattered, revealing a small ember of red.There was not a trace of emotion on his face. He held the cigarette between his fingers and tapped it lightly against the stair railing, exposing the glowing tip.It seemed to burn Skyla’s eyes.She narrowed her eyes slightly and pressed her lips together, trying to read something from his face. But this man never let anything show. His thoughts had always been impossible to reach.She had never been able to understand him before.Now, she couldn’t glimpse even the smallest trace of what he was thinking.“Chris, are you hesitating?”Anyone who could make Chris care this much had to be extremely important to him. In this world, aside from his late grandmo
