The number of visitors to the haunted house was relatively low. Only a few people lingered near the entrance.Claire, Javier, and Ollie became separated from the rest of the group while exploring the haunted house due to the numerous split roads. They were the only ones who remained on this path. The dark surroundings and eerie music added a terrifying element to the haunted house.Claire’s grip on Javier’s hand tightened as she sought a sense of security in the unnerving environment. Javier couldn’t help but chuckle as he felt the clamminess of her hand, noting how Claire was putting up a tough facade despite her palpable terror.The trio continued to walk further inside. They occasionally saw some gruesome heads or dismembered limbs. No ghosts or monsters were jumping out to scare them. When Claire was about to let out a sigh of relief, a hideous ghost appeared from the corner, letting out a blood-curdling scream. “Argh!” Claire was immediately startled. She clung to Javier like

The assistant was unable to quickly assess the pros and cons due to the significance of the matter.Hattie saw his hesitation and immediately adopted the attitude of a spoiled princess. She impatiently urged, “Stop wasting time and speak up.”The assistant quivered under her domineering presence and knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer. He blurted out, “We’ve just received news that Javier has taken Claire and their child to the amusement park this morning, and they’ve been there since then.”Hattie stood up immediately and asked in disbelief, “How is that possible? Are you sure you’re not making this up?”The assistant trembled again and said, “It’s absolutely true. Our people went there and investigated it thoroughly.”Although frightened, the assistant also felt excited. He was the first to bring the news to her, and he knew he would be rewarded handsomely.With the assistant’s statement confirmed, Hattie’s face changed from a sickly pallor to a deep flush of red, eventually s

As Hattie walked nearer, she immediately saw Javier wearing matching clothes with Claire and Ollie. The trio stood in front of her, looking surprisingly harmonious, which made her feel annoyed.Obviously, she was the woman best suited to stand by Javier’s side, so why was Claire by his side now?She had walked over with a smile, but seeing the scene before her, Hattie could not regain her smile. Her face looked extremely ugly.With her eyes fixed on Claire, Hattie felt so jealous that it was driving her crazy.Nevertheless, Javier was there, so she struggled to calm herself down. The consequences of impatience and recklessness could be significant, and she understood this principle well.Javier saw them and was unhappy. He frowned and asked, “Why are you guys here?”He sounded impatient.Shawn knew Javier would be upset, so he quickly stepped forward and said, “Javier, I’m the one who asked Hattie to come. I heard you’re at the amusement park and had to come and see it for mysel

Hattie could tell what they were talking about without even guessing by watching their intimate interactions. Jealousy raged within her, causing her to clench her fists tightly. She wished she had the power to tear that woman apart with her own hands!The waves in the pool had calmed down. It was like halftime for people in the pool to rest.Shawn, who was on the side, also followed Hattie’s gaze and saw the intimate interaction between the two. Although he could not hear what they were saying, he could guess from Claire’s demeanor. Surprisingly, the scene didn’t seem out of place, and the two appeared to be a great fit.Shawn looked at Hattie with a complex look, taking in all the emotions on her face. His eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.Then, the second wave surged with the screams and cheers of the people around as the waves hit them hard. Although it was not painful, it was enough to make people feel disoriented.Hattie was better prepared this time, and the waves didn

By the next day, things changed significantly in Marquez Manor. Javier’s parents became more relaxed now that Javier had taken over their family business and affairs. The two had complete confidence in Javier’s abilities to juggle everything. The only issue that bothered them was Javier marrying a single mother. Nevertheless, they now lived a leisurely life. That was especially true for Sofia, who had more free time to have tea with her friends or garden to her heart’s desire. She did whatever she wanted whenever she had nothing important to do. The same occurred today. Sofia was busy watering her expensive collection of plants, a hobby she had maintained for many years. After putting the watering can down, one of her housekeepers approached to report, “Mrs. Marquez, Miss Snyder is here.”“Okay. Please tell Miss Snyder to wait. I’ll be right over.” With a gentle smile, Sofia motioned some other housekeepers over to continue her watering schedule before she headed to the living room.
