Keith stood at the end of the corridor with a cold expression on his face. This woman brought disaster to the DeRoss family four years ago, and now she’s targeting the DeRoss family again. It is understandable that his mother wants to teach her a lesson.There's nothing wrong with mother venting her anger. Hopefully, after this incident, this woman won't keep opposing mother all the time. Keith turned around and walked away. But there were four burly men walking towards him."This job is really a good one. The employer said that that woman is Cuenca's number one beauty, a beauty that no wealthy person can catch up with. Yet, she fell into our hands."Keith suddenly stopped in his tracks, he looked up at the four approaching men. All four of them were over six feet tall, with beefy faces and a malicious glimmer in their eyes. No matter what these men were here for, Haley wouldn't benefit from it. The four men didn't even notice a child standing in the corner as they continued to discus
"Who are you and what do you want with me?" Haley calmly continued to retreat.The four men approached step by step, "We heard that Ms. DeRoss is the most beautiful woman in Cuenca. We came to see how Ms. DeRoss managed to reach the top."The burly man in front, suddenly, reached out and grabbed Haley's wrist. She was prepared and smashed the glass water cup with a bang, using the sharp shards of glass to cut the man's wrist."Bitch, how dare you attack me!" The burly man was furious and rushed forward.Haley grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. This man was too heavy, weighing around two hundred pounds. She almost exerted all her strength to throw him to the ground.“This bitch really knows martial arts!”The remaining three burly men exchanged glances, secretly sneering, fortunately, they were prepared. The man standing behind, took out a bottle of powder from his pocket, when Haley wasn't paying attention, and sprinkled it towards her direction. Haley only felt a stran
The four burly men pushed the wheelchair out. As soon as they opened the door of the conference room, they saw several security guards coming towards them in the hallway."Who are you guys?" The security captain walked over with a baton in his hand.The leader of the men calmly said, "This is our young miss, she injured her leg, and we're taking her back."Haley wanted to speak, but her mouth was stuffed with something, she couldn't say a word.She wanted to struggle and cause a commotion, but she realized that all her bones were weak, and she couldn't move even a finger. However, this was her only chance! She tried to flip over, and get off the wheelchair, but was held down by the big man's shoulder.The big man remained calm, saying, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."The security captain didn't notice anything wrong and let them pass. Haley's heart plummeted into the abyss of despair."Stop." Just then, a cold child's voice sounded.Keith walked out from behind the secur
At the DeRoss family home, Emily angrily threw things to the ground."A bunch of useless people!"Her chest heaved violently with anger, wishing she could smash everything in the room.Why couldn't things go as planned again and again? Isn’t it just a woman? Is it so difficult to kill a woman?"Alright, Emily, don't be angry." Flora walked over and patted her back. "This time it was at the Martínez family building, with security guards present, so it's indeed difficult to make a move. We should now think about how to shut those four men's mouths, so they won't expose the DeRoss family."Emily snorted coldly, "If they want to keep their lives and their families lives, they better keep the DeRoss family name out of their mouths!"When she found these people, she first gained control over their children, knowing that they wouldn't dare to speak out of line.She spoke coldly, "That little bastard, Haley is too tenacious. We have to use extreme measures. I'm really afraid that one day she'
With icy eyes, Keith stared coldly at Emily. A chilling sensation crawled up her spine, sending shivers down her body. For the first time, she realized that Keith was even more terrifying than Ivan. Biting her pale lips, she slowly spoke, "Keith, have you misunderstood something. Haley and I are sisters. Even if I despise her, I could never harm her. I...""Mother, the fact that I have come to ask you indicates that I already know certain truths," Keith interrupted, walking down the steps. He spoke each word with emphasis. "I just want to hear the truth. Why did you commit murder, mother?"Emily had never felt such fear before. Not even when Ivan spoke harshly to her did he fix his eyes upon her like this. How could a four-year-old child possess such overwhelming power? Suppressing her inner dread, she spoke calmly, "Keith, it wasn't me. I never thought of hurting Haley. It was your grandfather who couldn't tolerate her. Keith, do you know that Haley forced your grandfather to give
"Mother, I don't want your hands stained with guilty blood, which is why I said those words to you," Keith tightly pursed his thin lips. "I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly. Please don't take it to heart."Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid Keith would ask her to leave. Luckily, this little bastard didn't dare. She calmed herself and spoke softly, "Rest assured, I won't lay a finger on Haley anymore."Keith had found out about her sending someone to deal with Haley today, which meant someone from the Winston family was keeping an eye on her. She couldn't personally give orders for any more of these image-tarnishing things; otherwise, Keith's attitude towards her would become worse."Why are you here again!" Owen came downstairs from the second floor and his entire face was filled with displeasure as soon as he saw Emily. Her emotions, which had just calmed down, were once again provoked. But she knew she had lost control once, and she couldn't lose control a second time. Sh
Owen lifted his chin, and his dark eyes gleamed with a touch of arrogance. He snorted lightly, "If Daddy doesn't want to marry Haley, then when I grow up, I'll marry her myself. I just want to be with Haley every day."Keith's face turned very ugly. He didn't want to talk about these things with Owen, but if he didn't, he was afraid Owen would get even more deeply involved.He spoke slowly, "Do you know that Mother has always had a sister?"Owen frowned unhappily, "Why are you telling me about that woman? Whether she has siblings or not has nothing to do with me. I don't know, and I don't care. Don't mention her to me.""This actually does concern you. Mother has a half-sister with the same father, and her name is Haley." Keith threw a news article at Owen, which he found on his phone. "Haley, who died four years ago, has come back to take revenge on the DeRoss family, on Mother. And you have become Haley's best tool for revenge on Mother."Owen quickly read the news, disbelief fillin
Haley's head was still a little dizzy. After explaining the situation to the Winston Group, she was ready to call Thomas. Given her current condition, she probably couldn't go to preschool for the time being, so she had to ask Thomas to pick up the child. Before she could make the call, her phone rang again."Ms. DeRoss, hello. I'm the secretary of the Winston Group. May I ask if something happened this afternoon?"Haley pressed her forehead and said, "I'm feeling a bit unwell, currently getting an infusion at the hospital. I apologize.""Well, take good care and we can talk about cooperation when you've recovered." The secretary politely hung up the phone and was about to turn around to knock on the CEO's office door when she saw Ivan standing behind her.She was startled and quickly reported, "Mr. Winston, Ms. DeRoss is at the hospital. She probably won't make it today."Ivan nodded and walked toward the elevator. The secretary, with wide eyes, watched him leave. Daringly, he chase
