Charlotte had never seen the man before.“You ruined my life family. I won’t let you escape!” As the man screamed those horrible words, he ran straight to Charlotte, with the knife clenched tightly above his head.There was no time for her to dodge the knife, so Charlotte could only watch, frozen in fear as the shining knife got closer. Terror, pure and unadulterated, gripped her so fiercely that she even forgot to breathe. The man slashed down viciously with his knife.But a split second before the knife made contact with her chest, Simon put himself between her and the wicked-looking knife. Then, instead of her, the knife flayed Simon’s skin open. Blood gushed out on heavy rivulets, making a puddle on the floor. A low, pained growl escaped his throat at the cut.Elena, whom the man had noticed, crept closer to him and kicked at the man’s wrist. The man let out a cry of pain as he lost his grip on the knife. Elena took the opportunity to kick him again and twisted his arm behind his

In the Mint Bar.When Samantha walked into the bar, the two men in the corner caught her attention. With a bright smile, she walked over to one of them and exclaimed, “Darren? Is that you? What a coincidence!”Darren raised his head and looked at her and asked, “Why are you here?”“Well, my friend asked me out for a drink. But when I arrived here, she told me that something had come up. A bumper, right? Anyway, I didn’t expect that I had meet you here. Do you mind if I share a table with you?” She asked, looking at him expectantly.Darren rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger and indifferently replied, “Whatever!”Samantha was overjoyed to hear that, but she restrained herself from showing her emotions. She sat beside Darren and looked at his companion and asked, “Who is this friend of yours? Aren’t you gonna introduce him to me?”“This is Alex Patel. This is Samantha Hoffman.” Darren briefly said. He wasn’t in the mood to chat.Alex put his arm around his shoulder and s

After receiving the e-mail from Darren, Charlotte felt a little guilty. This time, she was in the wrong. The room began to spin a little too fast, as her breath shortened. She scratched at her chest, trying to pull in more air. Her limbs failed her and she was forced to lean against the sofa, lest she fall. Slowly, she curled into a fetal position on the sofa.Several minutes later, her phone rang, the sound breaking the silence in the room. Uncurling from her fetal position, Charlotte stretched forward and picked up the phone. She looked at the screen and found that it had fallen from Edward.“Hello?”“Charlotte, come to the villa in the East Bank. I have something to tell you.”“Okay, I’ll be right there,” she said. After hanging up the phone, Charlotte called Elena and went to Edward’s villa.“Elena, what is Adam doing recently?” Charlotte asked quietly, looking out the window as Elena drove her toward Edward’s villa.“He hasn’t done anything suspicious for a while now. I can’t fin

This Friday, Charlotte gave Jennifer a call. The phone rang for a while before she picked up.“Hello?” Jennifer answered the phone in a low voice.Charlotte frowned as her intention told her that something was up, but she decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. “Grandma, we’re going to have a desert testing party tomorrow. My kids love desert. I had love to bring them there…”“Of course you can. I’m sure they miss you very much. But…”Hearing that a sinking feeling emerged in the pit of her stomach. “But what?” Charlotte hurriedly asked.Jennifer sighed and said, “I’m afraid Darren won’t agree to this.”“What? Why not?”“The kids made trouble. They are grounded and are not allowed to come out of their rooms yet.” Jennifer said.Hearing that Charlotte couldn’t help but wonder what the kids had done to warrant them being grounded. “What happened?” She anxiously asked.“You had better come over and see for yourself. Darren isn’t home right now.” Jennifer hung up the phone as soon as

Charlotte was drinking milk when she Aaron’s words. Charlotte’s face turned the deepest shade of red and a violent fit of coughing shook Sher's frame as her milk went down the wrong way.The servant and Jennifer burst into laughter. Evan and Ryan looked at the adults in confusion, unable to comprehend what was happening.Darren took one look at her before turning his attention to the servant and said, “Get Mrs. Venzor a glass of water.”Whirling around immediately, the servant left to do his bidding.“Mom did I say something wrong?” Aaron asked her, his eyes widened with confusion.“Silent!” Darren thundered.However, instead of staying silent, Aaron opened his mouth to say something. Afraid that he would say something shocked again, Charlotte quickly spooned some pudding and stuff into his mouth, saying, “Dad is right. If you keep talking, I won’t take you to the dessert tasting party.”Aaron swallowed the pudding, pouted, and mumbled, “Mom, why are you supporting Dad?”Reflexively,
