“Of course, you can.” Alex had infinite patience and tolerance for Vivian. No matter what she did or said, he would accept it unconditionally. As for why, only Alex himself had the answer. “That’s more like it.” Vivian pouted. She curled her arms around Alex’s arm and brought him back into the ward. “You’re coming with me to the duty-free shop tomorrow. Don’t forget that—you said it yourself.” "Of course, I will. I always keep my promises to you." Alex was on the moral low ground, to begin with, because of what happened with Anna, so no matter what Vivian demanded or requested, he would agree to it. …After Mona came out from the hotel spa, she packed her things and wanted to go back to her room. Connecting the spa and the hotel rooms was a long corridor with dim lighting. She had to keep her eyes on the floor to see where she was going, and when she suddenly looked up, she ran into Stella, who was wearing a plain-colored dress. Stella was standing against the ligh

Stella’s question was creepy. Sophie wanted to inform Thaddeus about what happened, and just when she was about to touch her phone, knocks came from her door. She went over to the door and looked into the peephole. A towering man was standing outside. It was Thaddeus. Sophie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. With the man around, all problems would be solved. She opened the door, and the two kids dashed into the room. With each of them carrying a bag, Bobby and Millie greeted Sophie politely, “Aunt Sophie!” “You two little rascals are like little puppies, following your parents everywhere.” Millie sat down and rubbed her nose awkwardly. She looked aggrieved. “Millie missed Mommy, and Daddy said he wanted to see Mommy, so we came together.” “Then, you two sit tight. I’ll get some fruits and candies for you.” Sophie put a bowl of delights in front of the kids before turning around to Thaddeus. The man was typing on his phone, seemingly dealing with work. So

“Someone will explain the situation to you when you arrive. Just come to New Astrid City. It’s late now. Get some rest.” Thaddeus then hung up the phone. His hand was shaking when he hung up. His condition was acting up again. He grasped his chest and went to his luggage. He took a bottle of medicine out and swallowed several pills at once. His condition had been getting worse lately. His second personality was getting restless and had been trying to take over control of the body. He had to consume medicine to suppress the second personality for now. After Mona finished her shoot, he would bring her home. After that, he would have to prepare for the election of the family heir, but before that, he had one more hurdle to overcome. As for whether he could overcome it, it was up to fate. Fortunately, he had everything planned out. The man lifted his head up to swallow the pills without any water. His mouth was assaulted by the bitterness. He sat down on the chair, and the dark

“Linda, you didn’t get enough sleep last night, did you? Go have a rest in the lounge. I’ll call you when I’m done.” Linda yawned and headed out. “Alright. I really need to rest. I am seeing two of you already. Remember to call me when you are done.” “Okay. Go rest.” Through the mirror, Mona saw Linda head out to the lounge. While waiting for the makeup artist to come in, Stella came over. The red shawl on her shoulder entered Mona’s sight through the mirror. Mona sat facing away from Stella and froze when she spotted her presence. Stella took off the red shawl and gave it to Mona. “You will be wearing a black dress later. Be sure to put this on. You will have to stand in front of the well of the old house and jump down.” Mona took the shawl. For some reason, when she heard Stella saying ‘jump into the well’, she shuddered. “But the script says the first scene is when the police get to Harmony and tell her that her parents left her an old house in Santorini…” “No. No.

“I saw you aiming the hairpin at Suzy’s back…” “Linda, stop it.” Mona pulled Linda away. There were times when a straightforward personality would cause more problems than it solved. Even if Stella wanted to hurt Mona, it was unwise to expose her without solid evidence, or else they would lose the initiative and control of the situation. Mona stepped forward and confronted Stella. “Stella, I know it’s Linda’s fault for hurting you. How about I pay for your medical fees and compensate you for whatever losses you experience today? Or if there are any other requests, just name them, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them.” Stella scoffed. She waved her injured hand in front of Mona and said, “My hands are used to write novels. They are my livelihood. Now that she has suddenly injured me, if I lodge a report, this will be wounding with intent.” “Ms. Stella.” Mona switched to a colder tone and looked into Stella’s creepy eyes. “If you want to make a fuss out of this, I’m all in. But
