تسجيل الدخولNorman: "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
Norman: "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
Although it's a marriage of convenience, it's still a real marriage.Sheila wanted to fully experience it, so she woke up early to put on makeup and even wore the veil and little dress she had secretly bought from Kane a while ago.Originally, she had fantasized about paying the down payment on the
Sheila struggled to process this for a moment, before finally asking, "Why? Just because of last night…"But Killian didn't answer her, only stared at her silently, his gaze like he was looking at… prey?Killian had looked at her with that same look last night.It couldn't help but remind her of th
"Miss Emerson, do you know what you're doing?"Killian pushed her away, his Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously."I'm making you responsible, Mr. Ford! I feel terrible..."Sheila's eyes were glazed, her face flushed, making it easy to guess what had happened.Besides, Killian knew those dirty tricks
Sheila's heart plummeted into an ice cellar.In her years in the workplace, she wasn't some naive newbie who hadn't seen things.She'd faced workplace sexual harassment head-on, broken ties with her superior, gathered evidence to sue, only to be suppressed by fabricated rumors. Her lawyer advised h
