David also knew how serious the matter was. He quickly replied, “Mr. Lincoln, we will get there in ten minutes, if we keep the fastest speed.” He had tried his best to make it ten minutes.

After all, a car was not an airplane. No matter how excellent its performance was, it couldn't fly over.

Fredrick understood this matter. He tightened his lips and didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Harold Smith received a phone call from his subordinate and frowned, “I see. I’ll make it clear right now.”

After hanging up the phone, he called his son Ryan first.

“Ryan, are you at the restaurant today?”

Ryan didn’t know what had happened. He asked in confusion, “Yes Dad, what’s wrong?”

“Do you know who is in room 8828?”

“8828?” Ryan was stunned, and then his eyes widened. “I know. What happened?”

“You’d better go there and have a look. I don’t know what happened exactly, but the people there must be safe. If not, the whole Smith family will be ruined!”

Ryan frowned with displeasure, “Dad? Is someon

    One of them had already got the key and opened the door.With a click, the locked door immediately opened.Almost at the moment the door opened, everyone turned around in unison.As long as they thought of what might have happened in the room, almost everyone’s face showed an expression of pity.However, Fredrick just stood there quietly without moving.Someone felt something was wrong and looked back in confusion. The next second, he widened his eyes in surprise.In the private room, four burly men were lying on the ground. Their heads were bleeding, and one of them even got one of his fingers cut out. They had passed out, and the blood penetrated the carpet, dyeing the beige carpet dark red with blood.Priscilla curled up on the sofa, with a broken bottle in her hand.She wrapped her arms around her knees. Her hair was in a mess, and her two arms were full of scars. Her fingers holding the bottle were also stained with blood, probably cut by glass.When she heard some noise, wither

    Priscilla's little face rubbed against his arm. The scorching from her face brought a sense of ambiguous sexiness.Fredrick’s Adam’s apple bobbed and said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, wait a minute.”He pulled off the car at the side of the road, took out a new bottle of mineral water from the trunk, and returned to the car, carefully feeding the water to her mouth, “Here, drink some water.”She held his hands and took several gulps.The heat in her throat was temporarily diluted by the cold water, but in just a few seconds, more numbness, itch, and heat came continuously.She couldn’t stand it anymore. She reached out to unbutton her collar and rubbed against the chair.“I feel so hot…”Fredrick fastened the seat belt and said in a low voice, “Hold on. We will almost get to the hospital.”All of a sudden, Priscilla fell to his side and her head fell on his shoulder. If it weren’t for the seat belt, she would have fallen into his arms.“Fredrick… I can’t stand it anymore… Can you help me

    Even if Fredrick had a strong will, he still found it hard to control himself at the moment. The woman in his arms was even more beautiful and seductive. She was now like a bottle of top-grade red wine, and he could hardly hold back the desire to get her.He took a deep breath, pinched her chin, and controlled her kissing lips.“Be a good girl, and then I’ll give it to you, okay?”Priscilla looked at him with her misty eyes. She seemed to understand what he meant and nodded obediently.Fredrick then carried her into the bedroom and put her on the bed. Her clothes had been torn into pieces, but her jeans were still intact.He gently took off her clothes and examined her wounds carefully. Except for her hands, there were only some bruises on her body. She was in a good condition. Fredrick breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the blanket to wrap her in case she caught a cold.“Wait for me here.”Then he stood up and was about to leave.However, Priscilla suddenly stopped him. As soon as F

    Priscilla didn’t even remember when she was saved by Fredrick. As for what happened later, she could not remember a thing.She had been so drunk, and she took the philter, so her head was still aching!Fredrick had a bad feeling when he saw her pounding her head and frowning.“Don’t tell me that you don’t even remember what happened last night.”Raising her head to look at him, Priscilla said in a daze, “No, I remember that I was set up by Anabel Smith at the Pearl International Restaurant. She drugged me and found four men to r*pe me, but I beat them all down.”Fredrick’s eyelids twitched, “And then?”“Then?”Priscilla looked at him in confusion, “Then... You saved me?”Fredrick gave a sinister smile. He even gave up the idea to help her up for the dinner. He took his coat and turned around to leave.“Hey! Where are you going? You haven’t answered me yet!”The answer to Priscilla was the sound of the door closing.Gloomy, Priscilla touched her nose and felt that this man had a strang

    Unexpectedly, all those partners suddenly stopped the negotiation and chose to cooperate with other suppliers.If it happened just once, Harold would not doubt it.But it happened over and over again. He knew that something must have happened or he had offended someone he shouldn’t have.Sure enough, only God knew how angry he was when he knew that Anabel drugged Priscilla, and provoked Fredrick Lincoln.But no matter how angry he was, Anabel was his daughter, and he had to protect her.He had thought that Priscila had asked Frederick to do all these things, but to his surprise, judged from her reaction just now, she seemed to know nothing at all!Mr. Lincoln had done so much for her, but she even didn’t know anything… It surely indicated how important she was to him…Harold didn’t dare to think about it anymore. He felt a little regretful.If only he hadn’t let Priscilla leave back then.Maybe she couldn’t bring any benefits to the Smith family, but at least they would not have offe

    “Is this your plan for this year?”The man’s voice was low and cold, with the authority of a superior.The project manager lowered his head, with cold sweat on his forehead.“Mr. Lincoln, the plan for this year is to maintain the situation. Now the market economy is generally down, so we don’t think it’s a good idea to expand too fast, so...”“The market is down... so to maintain the situation?”Fredrick sneered and suddenly threw the plan out of his hand. The paper rubbed against the project manager’s face. The manager closed his eyes in pain.The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone held their breath.Fredrick snapped, “So you fool me with such a thing that even a new graduate can make? Maintain the situation? The Peru branch has been taking this plan for three years, but it keeps declining every year. I have given you many chances! Now I’m sitting here. How dare you still say that to me? Do you think the Lincoln Properties needs you so much or do you think I’m too stupi

    A cold voice came, and the lobby manager came over.When the receptionists saw their manager, they immediately returned to their original positions, like some mouse seeing a cat.“Manager, we didn’t talk about anything.”“Yes, we didn’t say anything.”The lobby manager scolded them just because he saw them gather together. He always turned a blind eye to their slacking-offs.So he also didn’t want to take it seriously this time. He said in a low voice, “Now Mr. Lincoln is in charge of the company. You should be more careful at work than before! If your slacking offs are caught by him, even I can’t protect you guys.”Hearing his warning, everyone knew that he was telling the truth and quickly nodded.“Manager, we will never dare to do that again.”The lobby manager was satisfied. “Okay.” Then He left.…The elevator directly got to the forty-eighth floor.“Ding!” After the elevator arrived, David took Priscilla out and went straight to Fredrick’s office.It was not the first time that

    The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her

    The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But

    Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nanc

    In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.

    How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of

    Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i

    She knew full well what kind of person Fredrick was.He looked cold, but in reality, if he acknowledged someone as one of his people, he usually took their business personally instead of being so cool about it.Frederick looked at her deeply.“Do you still remember what I told you when you asked me about Hadassah?”Priscilla started.She thought about it and realized.“Is it…”“Yes, I’m just that selfish. I don’t want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don’t want any trouble. So I don’t care whether we can find that child or not.”Priscilla had to laugh.“Why are you like this? They’re raising such a fuss while you’re here talking behind their back.”Fredrick leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.“Yes, that’s how I am. I don’t care about anything other than you.”“Darling…”Priscilla hadn’t let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kis

    The restaurant was high-end for Milton, but it was not good enough.And the standards that William seemed to have made it quite clear that he wasn’t the type of person who’d eat at a place like this.He’d come today either because he was in a hurry or because something special had attracted him.Priscilla was curious about it, but they didn’t know each other too well, so she didn’t ask about it.The two went into the restaurant, chatting as they ate. The atmosphere was quite friendly.Still, she didn’t know if she was imagining it or not, but she felt that the way William looked at her wasn’t quite right.The passion he was showing wasn’t like someone who’d only met her once or twice at all.Priscilla put herself on guard as she asked, “Are you in the city for business, Mr. Curtis?”William replied, “I’m looking for a person.”“Oh? May I ask who you’re looking for?”William paused, then chuckled, “An old friend’s child.”At that, he didn’t continue. Seeing that he wasn’t willing to s

    In the past, the Waals family was headed by Rose and Katherine, so to get Rose on your side, you pulled Regina to your side, only to get their family into the Smith family. Now that Rose’s in trouble, Regina and Katherine are facing charges, you’re afraid that it’ll affect you or the Smith family, so you’re trying to give her the boot and come back to me. Do you think everyone’s as stupid as her, Ryan? That they’ll just stand by and become your plaything after you feed them your lies?”Ryan’s expression grew ugly.“What are you saying? Am I such a person in your mind? I’ll admit that things aren’t good between me and Regina right now, but things hadn’t been going well even before this mess. I’m not trying to give a coup de grace here!”Priscilla had to laugh at his audacity. “You’re not trying to give a coup de grâce? You’re serious, Ryan Smith! Do you even believe your own words? I’m telling you, I would have respected you more if you took responsibility and still stood with her, but
