Se connecterNorman: "Ivan, he was my university alumnus. At that time, he did help me in the clinic for a period. Although he knew the source of those corneas, he never participated in it. He merely assisted me as an aide to complete the surgeries."The implication was clear: Ivan had nothing to do with any of it.Sheila couldn't believe it. "You're lying!" she seethed, anger burning in her eyes. "How could he have nothing to do with it? He must be your contact with the Southeast Asian side. You're responsible for the transplant surgeries here, and he's responsible for taking organs from living donors over there!"Ben pressed a hand on Sheila's shoulder. "Calm down."She couldn't calm down. After searching for so long, the suspect she had been so sure of was suddenly cleared of all charges. Moreover, this was just one man's word. It was highly possible he was protecting Ivan.Norman was racked by violent coughs, the handkerchief he held to his mouth stained wi
The car sped down the highway.Pop music played softly in the car, neither too loud nor too quiet.Ben drove in silence, while Sheila rested with her eyes closed, only occasionally opening them to chat with him, just enough to break the monotony of the highway and prevent him from falling asleep.With about an hour left of their journey, they pulled into a service area.They both went to the restroom. Sheila then bought two bottles of coffee after she came out.There weren't many brands or flavors to choose from, so she just picked randomly.Ben wasn't picky either, taking a few sips to perk himself up.Back on the road, Ben suddenly asked her, "What if we still find nothing this time?"Without hesitation, Sheila replied, "Then we keep investigating."Ben gripped the steering wheel with both hands, staring ahead. "But what good will finding the truth do?"Sheila wasn't sure what he meant by that.Did he thi
Sebastian smiled, patting Ben's arm. "It really is a coincidence. So, he just decided to stay here with us."Caroline urged, "Let's talk on the way, I'm starving right now."Looking at her adorable pout, Sebastian couldn't resist lightly tapping the brim of her hat. "Little glutton, didn't you eat anything on the plane?""Uh..." Caroline looked up, met his gaze, then shyly averted her eyes. "The plane food wasn't to my taste. I want something authentic."Sebastian smiled at her. "Let's go. I've already had someone reserve a table. Cheese fondue, sound good?"Caroline's cheeks flushed. "Mhm."The young couple exchanged glances, sickeningly sweet.Everyone hadn't even had lunch yet, but they'd already been fed a huge helping of PDA.Sheila recalled that the day after their relationship took off, Caroline had been so excited she'd chatted with her all night.It seemed her struggles had finally turned into sweetness.
Kane: [Your father also had the rare Rh-negative blood type. So does Killian. Less than a week after your father's accident, Killian underwent a corneal transplant and regained his sight. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?]An immense dread immediately enveloped her.But Sheila rationally denied it.Kane, that bastard, was just trying to sow discord. There was no way her father's accident could be related to Killian.Sheila didn't hesitate to drag Kane into her blacklist.“Sheila.”She looked up at the sound and saw Killian, dressed in a dark wool coat, standing under a streetlamp, waving to her.Sheila stared at Killian for a few seconds, then jogged over to him.He opened his coat and pulled her into his embrace. “Are you cold?”She tightened her arms around him. “It’s so warm in your arms.”Killian chuckled softly. “The car’s even warmer. Let&
Half a month later, the revolving restaurant.Augustine, impeccably dressed in a suit, arrived with his assistant to meet investor Mr. D'Arcy in a private room.“Mr. D'Arcy, rest assured about the 'Mortal' IP. We've already finalized talks with the author. Once filming begins, it's guaranteed to be a massive hit across the entire network.” Augustine confidently raised his wine glass, making a big promise to the investor.The investor clinked glasses with him. “I hear many film and television companies are scrambling for the adaptation rights to this work recently. Mr. Sloane, you're truly impressive, there's nothing you can't accomplish.”“Mr. D'Arcy, you flatter me.” Augustine said, beaming with pride. “But securing these rights truly took a lot of effort. The author is a huge fan of our company's Shawn Kilner and insisted that Shawn play the male lead before they'd even consider selling. Coincidentally, Shawn ju
“Of course not. If I didn’t like you even a little, how could I let you get pregnant with our child?” Kane’s long, slender hand gently caressed her bulging belly. “And how I’ve treated you these past days, can’t you feel it?”“But the person you love most is still Sheila.” Jocelyn cried, her eyes red. “Why did you deceive me?”“Do you really think Sheila and I have a chance?” Kane sighed, wiping away her tears with his thumb. “I’m sorry. If you want a divorce now, I won’t stop you. But if you’re willing to stay by my side, I’ll spend my entire life making it up to you.”She pleaded, “Can’t you just completely let go of Sheila? Can’t you just love me?”“I don’t want to lie to you.” Kane choked up slightly, like a child who’d made a mistake, throwing himself into her arms. “I’ve b
Kane, as Rory Maxwell's only son, was his most prized possession and would be the sole heir to the Maxwell Group.Therefore, Rory was extremely strict with Kane from a young age, but the stricter he was, the more rebellious Kane became.It wasn't until three years ago, when his mother passed away a
The sky had gone dark. Ben and Sheila, along with a few others, had scoured the entire venue and all the surrounding surveillance footage, but they still hadn’t found a trace of the keycard.According to the surveillance footage, Sheila handed the keycard to Justin and then never left his side.He
Kelsey and Peter simultaneously looked at Kane, whose face was darker than dark, trying their best not to laugh.Peter teased, "Told you not to pretend to be poor when you're not. If you'd just taken a fancy to Sheila, you could've just kept her."Kane glared at him. "What do you know? If I'd told
The girl saw Sheila in the back seat and was equally stunned."This is …" Ben glanced at Killian, "Killian's secretary, Sheila."Marina's gaze swept over the shopping bag Sheila was holding behind her, a slight awkward smile on her face."Hello, I'm Marina Stone, classmates with Ben and Killian fro
