Third Person's POV
Sunny hastily raised her hand to shield her face. At that moment, a black sedan screeched to a halt beside her.
The door flew open, and Leo's anxious face appeared in the doorway...
Sunny felt certain she was hallucinating—hunger and exhaustion were making her vision blur. How could she be seeing Leo's face?
"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!" The man's voice was urgent and pained.
She snapped to attention, her eyes widening. In the next instant, a large hand yanked her into the vehicle.
The black sedan shot into the traffic like an arrow released from a bow and vanished at the end of the street.
At this moment, a man sat down opposite Olivia.
"Your daughter is safe. It's time to fulfill your promise," the man said coldly.
Olivia's taut nerves finally relaxed, and she nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you now."
Just then, her phone rang—it was Richard.
She answered the ca
Third Person's POV"Don't get involved in this for me. Those people—they're dangerous, the kind you don't want to cross," Sunny said, recalling the woman's agility and menace.She was highly skilled and didn't look like a good person either.Such individuals were reckless and terrifying. They were desperate people. Getting involved with them would really end in mutual destruction.She didn't want Leo to seek revenge for her. She just hoped not to get him entangled."You think too little of our people." Leo snorted.Sunny stared at Leo's focused, handsome face as he tended to her wounds.His brow was dotted with sweat despite the spring chill. Was it worry for her or tension from touching her injuries?"Leo, I'm not doubting your abilities. I just don't want you to get dragged into danger with me. Promise me you'll stay out of this," Sunny said gravely.Leo narrowed his eyes. "A man who can't protect his own woman&m
Third Person's POV"I know. If she were the real culprit, Richard wouldn't have kidnapped you to force her to confess. She is guilty, but not enough to deserve death. Don't worry. Blake and I are already aware of this. We won't let your mother take the fall while the real killer remains free," Leo said.His words brought slight relief to Sunny."I'm truly sorry. I don't know how to face you now," Sunny said, overwhelmed with guilt. She felt unworthy of Leo's love, being the daughter of a sinner who should atone for her mother's crimes.Leo's eyes darkened, but his hold on her didn't waver. His voice, however, turned colder. "Let's not talk about this now. Let's go home first. Your hands are injured and need treatment."Warmth surged through Sunny. At this moment, she felt utterly helpless and anxious, yet Leo didn't scold or abandon her. Gratitude and emotion filled her heart.Olivia had indeed turned herself in at the police station. Shortl

Third Person's POV"You're quite detached, unlike Nick. He's still stuck in that mess," Richard remarked, casting a sidelong glance at Nick.Emily feigned surprise and said, "You actually have a thing for Catherine? What's so great about her? She just puts on an act of being innocent...""Stop talking nonsense! Just eat." Nick interrupted sharply.Emily fell silent but smirked inwardly; it seemed Nick was serious this time.Catherine... she couldn't help but feel envious.Midway through the meal, Richard's phone rang.Seeing the caller ID, he frowned.The moment he answered, his expression turned grim, and he hurriedly excused himself to his room.Emily tensed—she had heard a woman's voice on the other end of the line.Nick also paused, staring after his father.She continued to eat as if nothing had happened, but inside, she began to scheme—it seemed Richard was finally receiving the call he'd
Third Person's POVHe worried most about her safety—where was she being held, and was she hurt?On the night Richard appeared on the talk show, Nick watched too.As soon as Richard got home, they erupted into a fight."How could you do this? Are you ashamed of my late mother? This is too much!" Nick yelled, feeling his father's words were a slap in the face for his mother.Richard lit a cigarette and explained calmly, "Calm down. It's just a temporary move. How else could I draw Olivia out? Your search yielded nothing, and I'm running out of time.""So because Mom's gone, you can use her however you like? I'm still alive! Do you want everyone to know I'm the child you had with a woman you didn't love?" Nick said bitterly.When Richard was in prison, Nick had tried every means to save him.Now that he was out, his life was more chaotic than ever."Nick, great achievements require sacrifice. I'm doing this for your f
Third Person's POVBianca waved at the man. "Bring in a chair."Sunny stared intently at the grotesque scar on her face, her stomach churning.Every expression of this woman filled her with disgust."Sunny, you know what? I've been watching you for a long time," Bianca took two steps closer, her eyes as cold as a viper's."Freak! Stay away from me!" Sunny glared at her."No, I've been watching you because my mom and your mom... used to be 'close friends,'" Bianca said, crossing her arms and smirking maliciously.Bianca arms crossed, a malicious smile played at the corner of her mouth, "Your mom, that bitch, betrayed my mom. Me coming to you—consider it karma."Sunny's pupils shrank. She forced herself to stay calm. "Nonsense! I don't believe a word of it.""Olivia. Back then, she was pregnant with you and working in the same nightclub as my mom...""Stop it! Olivia's my neighbor, not my mom! You don't even h
