작가: Your Candy
One of the card players raised a finger with a cryptic smile.

"10,000 dollars?" Bobby asked.

"100,000 dollars!" the card player revealed.

"Damn!" Bobby shot to his feet, the chair legs screeching across the floor. His eyes burned red with naked greed. "I'm gonna get filthy rich!"

He rushed out without a second thought and sprinted through the streets until he found the men in black suits.

He seized the arm of the one who looked like their leader, his whole body shaking with excitement. "I k

  • Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin   Chapter 507

    Fear and panic burrowed into Viper like maggots in bone, devouring his composure and reason.The Valeciels' subordinates would rather die than betray their employers or commit treason. Yet if the video were released and the Valeciels learned that his employer had moved against Isolde, her situation would become dire."Wait." Viper forced the word out, his voice strained and heavy with despair. "I can tell you what you want to know, but in exchange, this must never be made public. No one can ever learn that I tried to assassinate you."He looked up, eyes bloodshot, glaring at Isolde. "Otherwise, we all go down together. My lady won't spare any of you. You and Bruce will die together."The corners of Isolde's mouth lifted slightly. 'It worked.'She masked the smile at once, stopped, and regarded Viper with cool indifference. "Let's hear it."Viper fixed her with a frigid stare. If looks could kill, she would already be in pieces. "It's Miss Seraphina of the Valeciel family who want

    "No." At the mention of Viper, Bruce's expression darkened. He had handled many hardened men under his command, but none had held out this long.Three full days had passed. They had used every brutal method available.Viper, however, seemed like a machine that could not feel pain. He endured every form of torture without fear of life or death, without so much as a flicker of discomfort from start to finish."Alan's side just sent word," Bruce said. "Viper has a young mistress he reveres like a deity. He says she likes me, which is why she moved against you."Bruce's eyes turned cold. "Other than you, no woman has ever come within three steps of me."Isolde smiled faintly. "I know. If a woman that powerful had gotten close to you, I would have noticed before you did."Bruce's expression softened as he regained his composure. "So we start with Viper's employer?"The kidnapping in Karsden used unrest in Faranthia as cover. If you had died, it would have been written off as collater

    Bruce closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and placed his long fingers on her head, pressing gently. "There won't be a next time.""Okay," Isolde agreed obediently. "If I run into danger again, I'll call you immediately, my dear hubby..."His fingers stiffened for a moment, and the tips of his ears turned red. The corners of his mouth, however, lifted despite himself.At a private hospital, outside the VVIP ward…Isolde stood by the door and looked through the glass. Inside, Alan lay motionless on the bed. Without the steady hum of the machines, he would have looked dead.Nash stood beside her, his arm in a cast, his expression mournful. "Mr. Princeton ingested too many toxins, and his internal organs have suffered irreversible damage. Although he survived after taking the antidote, his body will never recover. He'll be plagued by illness and pain for the rest of his life. He'll age prematurely..."Isolde watched Alan, her gaze complicated.He had been her fiance once. Seeing hi

    When Isolde woke and opened her eyes, a familiar ceiling came into view.'Crestmont Estate…' Her heart settled at once.She turned her head and, as expected, saw Bruce.He wore a suit, but his tie was missing and his collar hung rumpled, creased from being tugged at who knew how many times.His handsome face was deathly pale. Dark circles weighed under his eyes, and stubble shadowed his chin, clear signs he had not slept for a long time. Red veins webbed his eyes.Isolde spoke with a pang of heartache, her voice dry. "Hubby..."Bruce's brow drew tight as he looked at her with intense worry. "You're awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere you're uncomfortable?"Isolde checked herself and shook her head. "Just a slight headache. It's probably from sleeping too long."The knot in Bruce's throat finally loosened. Even so, his expression stayed grim.He fixed her with a hard, piercing stare, each word edged with restrained anger. "Why did you let Alan take you away on purpose?"

    But with more than a dozen medicine bottles in hand, it felt like a lottery, and the odds of finding the right one were despairingly low."Mr. Princeton, there's no time left..." Nash urged in a low, steady whisper, "If she dies without treatment, Ms. Vancrest's death will only leave you with more regret."'So the solution is to risk the wrong medicine to avoid regret…' Alan's heart ached, but logic forced his hand. He chose a blue bottle, her favorite color."Isolde... this is your lucky color... You'll still be lucky today, right?"He opened it, and a bitter medicinal scent drifted out.Alan gritted his teeth, made his decision, and poured the contents into his own mouth."Mr. Princeton?!" Nash cried out, his face draining of color. "Why did you take it yourself? That could be poison!"Alan's throat worked as he swallowed. Then he doubled over and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood. Pain tore through his stomach, twisting his features as his body shook uncontrollably."T

    "Let go." Viper's voice turned cold.Alan did not comply. He jerked his head up and drove his forehead into Viper's face.The strike came at close range. Viper failed to evade it completely. His head snapped to the side, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.His eyes hardened.In the next instant, Alan flew backward and crashed into a table across the room.The table shattered. He hit the floor and spat out another mouthful of blood.Viper walked over and looked down at him. "For someone who doesn't love you, is it worth it?"Alan lay on the floor, his entire body aching as if it might come apart. He struggled to lift his head and spotted a black medical kit on a low coffee table near Viper's feet.That was the medical kit that could save Isolde.He did not answer. He braced himself against the floor and forced himself upright, swaying as he stood.Viper raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Few people could still stand after taking one of his critical bl

    Isolde's heart sank. So her being abducted and detained still came true after all.Alan had not dared to behave this way previously because Bruce was protecting her. But now that Bruce had lost much of his power, this bastard wasted no time using the most underhanded means to force her back to him,

    The car body pressed against the guardrail. A teeth-grinding shriek tore through the air, followed by a spray of blinding sparks."Ahhh!" K screamed, completely out of control.Isolde clenched her teeth and forced herself into absolute calm. She fought the steering wheel, yanked the car back with

    Jane chortled. "Oh God, she's strong-arming you into this whether you like it or not!" She rolled up her sleeves and stretched her arm with excitement."There's only one way to free yourself from this clanker, Bruce. Want me to smash this thing into scrap metal? Your wish is my command!"Bruce reg

    The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the apartment building."Thanks," Isolde said and stepped out.Once she had her footing and turned back, she saw him still sitting in the car, showing no sign of getting out.He was not coming with her?"Something urgent came up at the company," B
