ログインA few days later, out of lingering worry, Sigourney obediently stayed at home to recuperate, giving her body ample rest.Theodore, however, continued to go to the corporation each day as usual.One morning, while Sigourney was lazily sprawled across the sofa, snacking on grapes, the doorbell suddenly rang. She made a move to get up and open it, but Aunt Miller hurried forward to stop her."Let me get the door. You just keep resting."Sigourney nodded gently and remained reclined on the sofa.A short while later, Aunt Miller returned, carrying a strange parcel in her hands. She glanced at Sigourney, looking somewhat surprised, and said,"I don't know who sent this. The deliveryman couldn't give any clear information about the sender.""So I'm not sure whether we should open it."Sigourney sat up, and Aunt Miller joined her on the sofa. Though Sigourney was curious, she didn't dare act rashly."Have you ordered anything recently?""Or maybe a seller sent it but forgot to include their d
"How does it feel to be tailed? Comfortable, isn't it?"From the very first words, Jennifer's tone was scornful, her voice unable to conceal its excitement and smugness. Theodore immediately realized that the gray car earlier was connected to Jennifer, and his voice hardened as he demanded,"What do you mean by this? Why would you do such a thing?"Hearing Theodore's voice, Jennifer sounded briefly surprised before letting out another sneer."Do what? I didn't do anything at all.""I was only worried you two wouldn't get home safely, so I kindly followed behind to protect you."Her tone was laced with acid."But who would have thought you people didn't appreciate the good intention, even deliberately trying to shake me off. Bastards."Her sharp voice burst into curses, but Theodore remained composed."What do you mean? What are you trying to do?"He had no time to waste exchanging meaningless words with Jennifer. Yet Jennifer deliberately avoided getting to the point."What I do is my
With the uneasy weight of the afternoon still upon them, Sigourney and Theodore hailed a taxi to return to Twilight Estate. They had thought matters were gradually settling down, but reality proved that perhaps they had relaxed their vigilance too soon.The moment they entered the car, an inexplicable sense of unease lingered, even though the driver appeared kind and honest. That feeling only seemed to intensify as the vehicle rolled steadily onto the main road.Theodore and Sigourney exchanged wary glances, their nerves instinctively sharpening, as if bracing for whatever was about to unfold. The taxi glided along at a stable speed, smooth and unwavering.But suddenly, the driver spoke, his tone laced with confusion."Sir, Madam, is the person driving behind you a friend or relative of yours?""I have the impression that the gray car back there is following us."At those words, both Theodore and Sigourney heightened their vigilance, eyes flicking to the rearview mirror. Indeed, a my
"At present, my car is severely damaged. I'm worried it would be dangerous to continue driving.""I'm calling the vehicle service now, so they can come check and repair it for me."Because Theodore had the call on speakerphone, Sigourney clearly heard every word. She instinctively shivered. She couldn't imagine what might have happened if she and Theodore had been in that car.For some reason, hearing this news sparked a sudden thought in Theodore. He asked immediately,"What happened to the driver of the black car?"Their driver quickly replied,"The black car, after striking mine, was forcefully knocked back and directly collided with another white car.""The collision was severe. The driver of the black car struck the steering wheel directly, bleeding profusely.""He's unconscious now.""I called the traffic police to handle the situation, and an ambulance for him."Theodore's gaze met Sigourney's, and in that moment, they both understood the thoughts running through each other's
Once everything was packed, their private driver was already waiting at the hospital gates. Theodore carefully supported Sigourney down the steps, seating her gently in the back, every movement tender and deliberate.Yet just as the driver was about to pull away, Sigourney suddenly felt a sharp, wrenching pain in her abdomen. She doubled over like a boiled shrimp, her face turning pale as she whispered weakly to Theodore."Wait, my stomach hurts so much.""Could you take me back to the hospital?"Seeing her collapse in agony so suddenly, Theodore was thrown into utter panic. Without hesitation, he scooped her into his arms and rushed back inside the hospital.Their belongings were already stored in the trunk, and with the car inconveniently parked, Theodore quickly instructed the driver to head to Twilight Estate, where Mrs. Miller would bring everything inside for them.With that settled, Theodore hurried inside, carrying Sigourney tightly against his chest. By now, her face had turn
"That night, Dante intended to sneak into your hospital room to harm you and Mrs. Nichols. He even had a knife concealed on his person.""But fortunately, the room was password-protected. He didn't know it, so he couldn't get in.""Nevertheless, you two must remain vigilant.""Right now, during the investigation, we've lost Dante's trail. We don't know where he is."Hearing Sutton's words, Theodore's gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing with menace. Of course, he understood Sutton's implication.Dante was surely still lurking somewhere nearby, plotting another scheme to harm him and Sigourney. And with Sigourney's frail health at the moment, he had to be more vigilant than ever.Theodore slowly clenched his fist, his voice hoarse as he spoke."Alright, thank you for informing me of this. I'll be more careful.""And don't forget, keep narrowing the search. Find Dante's whereabouts as soon as possible and hand him over to the police."Otherwise, both he and Sigourney would be forced to liv
After dining out with everyone,Sigourney happily returned home. She went inside to prepare, waiting until it was nearly time for Theodore to finish work, then hurried outside to stand at the gate of the villa, waiting for him to come back.So, when Theodore drove up near the gate, surprise filled
Sigourney's eyes flew wide in disbelief."No... You can't, you can't."Her choked cries rang out, but the only reply was a long, satisfied peal of laughter. Lucas waved his hand, laughing loudly."This isn't something you get to interfere with, bitch."Rising to his feet, Lucas shrugged."I'll go n
Reality proved, once again, that Theodore's predictions were always correct. In the days that followed, Jennifer and Mark's scheme became increasingly obvious. While Lucas was busy trying to prove his identity, hinting that he too had the right to fight for Nichols Corporation's inheritance, a
"But... can you come here?"Emma's voice was both pleading and desperate, sounding utterly pitiful."I'm so scared, I'm really scared, Sigourney..."Emma emphasized."There are so many of them. What if the guards can't hold them back, and they still sneak in to take me away?"Emma spoke in a trembl
