Chapter 261: The Gap in Memory

"Not just because she owes a lot of money, right?"After a long while, Chen Munan turned around and handed over the glass of water.The warmth from the glass against her palm alleviated the chill of the spring night.Doreen Pulitzer lowered her gaze, looking at the crystal-clear water in the cup. Her fingers lightly tapped the rim, creating ripples that also stirred up memories.In her memory, Francis Pulitzer was a gentle and highly responsible father. He would wake up early to make breakfast for the family, and if he finished work early, he would pick up the two older children from school.Back then, Doreen Pulitzer's brother had not yet been kidnapped by human traffickers, and Chen Munan had not been born. Shirley Graham was still teaching at a middle school, and the family of four lived a happy and ordinary life.But one day, for some unknown reason, a dispute broke out in the once peaceful and harmonious family.Shirley Graham cried and screamed, declaring that she couldn't

Chapter 262: The City Knows How to Play

After the commotion last month, Twlight Club has finally regained its former glory. As soon as night falls, guests come and go, and the place is filled with music and dance.Ferguson Kennedy, who hadn't been seen in the entertainment scene for a long time, made his appearance with Doreen Pulitzer. The two rows of welcoming staff at the entrance were stunned, and the manager hurriedly led them to the top-floor private room himself.Once the two were seated on the sofa, the manager, with a forced smile, asked Ferguson Kennedy, "Second Young Master, what would you like tonight?"He was asking about the package, but Doreen Pulitzer misunderstood it as asking if she wanted a princess and which one. Before Ferguson Kennedy could speak, she said indifferently, "Are there any new princes?"The manager: "???"Thinking he had misheard, he tried to maintain his smile and looked at Doreen Pulitzer, "You, you just said—""You didn't hear wrong. Call a few with decent looks."Ferguson Kennedy

Chapter 263: Having Met the Gentleman

When Ferguson Kennedy finally chased out, Doreen Pulitzer was already nowhere to be seen. In the corridor, those who hadn't managed to escape in time didn't dare even breathe.Ferguson Kennedy went downstairs, got into his car, and headed straight for No. 1 Courtyard.7th block, 801st room.Aunt Wu, hearing the door open, hurried out from the servant's quarters, "Second Young Master?""Where's Doreen Pulitzer?"The two words that exuded from Ferguson Kennedy were displeasure.Aunt Wu, with a surprised look, replied, "Miss Chen left in the afternoon and hasn't come back since."Ferguson Kennedy gave her a cold glance, knowing she wouldn't dare lie, and without further ado, dialed Frank's number."Find Doreen Pulitzer's location."Frank had just managed to get off work early and was about to have a romantic candlelit dinner with his little sweetheart when he received the order. He pushed his sweetheart aside and started his miserable work life again.After making a few calls, w

Chapter 264: Invulnerable to Blades and Bullets

Amid the gasps of countless fans and reporters, Doreen Pulitzer and Xiao Anzhi briefly shook hands.Doreen Pulitzer said, "I've booked a table at one of H City's most distinctive restaurants. I hope Mr. Xiao will do me the honor.""I couldn't possibly refuse," replied Xiao Anzhi.The two exchanged a smile and left the airport together. They rode in Doreen Pulitzer's car to a private restaurant that was said to have a history of over a hundred years. The restaurant was tucked away in a narrow alley behind Sanba Square, a six-story building with red-tiled roofs and wooden lattice windows, standing out distinctly.Due to its local fame, even out-of-town food connoisseurs would seek it out when visiting H City. As a result, reservations were hard to come by, often requiring a month's advance booking.Xiao Anzhi settled down at the long table in the private room, picked up a cup of freshly brewed Fuding white tea, took a sip, and smiled. "Miss Chen, you have put in a lot of thought. Ju

Chapter 265: Feeling Annoyed

Doreen Pulitzer took a hot bath, changed into loose loungewear, and took out some medication from the bedroom drawer, swallowing it with warm water. She then opened her phone's Twitter app, where several trending topics about Xiao Anzhi had already appeared, naturally including Doreen Pulitzer herself.- **#Xiao Emperor Arrives in H City, Doreen Pulitzer Picks Him Up at the Airport#**- **#Xiao Emperor and Doreen Pulitzer Leave Together in a Car#**- **#Xiao Emperor and Doreen Pulitzer Appear Together at a Luxury Villa in H City#**Each of these topics was marked with a "hot" tag. Doreen Pulitzer casually clicked on one of the posts, and the comments were already piling up:- "Who is Doreen Pulitzer? How did she manage to hook the Crown Prince and now the entertainment industry's Emperor?"- "Sweeping through the business world and the entertainment industry, it has to be my Sister Xi!"- "Shameless! Clearly, she has an unclear relationship with Han and He, and now she's trying

Chapter 266: Two-Player Mahjong

Tuyuexin bit her lip, glancing timidly at Ferguson Kennedy across from her. The joy of her fantasy had not even had time to ferment before it was scattered."Why should I cover for her?" Ferguson Kennedy leaned back in his chair, playing with a six-sided die in his palm.Emma Kennedy made an exaggerated expression, "She looks so much like Miss Chen; if you don't cover for her, who will?""Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere. How do they look alike?"Ferguson Kennedy's words were harsh, and Tuyuexin lowered her head, almost burying her face on the mahjong table.Emma Kennedy, undeterred, leaned in and whispered in Tuyuexin's ear, "Men, they say one thing and mean another. Don't take it to heart."Finding the situation uninteresting, Ferguson Kennedy was about to get up.Edison Duncan reached out to stop him, "Come on, we're just getting into it!""I'm still waiting to win back what I lost earlier. It's not fair if you leave now," Xiao Anzhi

Chapter 267: There Comes a Day of Fear Too

Changle.Tuyuexin's card skills were truly worrying. Although Edison Duncan had been fed many cards by her, and the chips on the table had piled up into a small mountain, playing with someone so clueless was utterly boring, making the money he won feel less satisfying.After several rounds, he completely lost interest.Just as he was about to suggest calling it a night, he idly glanced at a breaking news alert on his phone.What he saw was shocking."Ferguson, you're probably going to be kneeling on a washboard tonight," he said with a touch of schadenfreude.At the same time, Ferguson Kennedy received a text from Doreen Pulitzer. He looked at the message with a puzzled expression, then saw Edison Duncan handing him his phone.Emma Kennedy's Twitter post, which she had deleted and reposted, had already caused a stir. Netizens, without exception, mistook Tuyuexin in the photo for Doreen Pulitzer.Combined with Doreen Pulitzer and Xiao Anzhi's public appearance during the day, Tw

Chapter 268: Quietly Accomplishing Great Deeds

"Not still mad, huh?"That soft, coaxing tone.Doreen Pulitzer's ears softened a bit at the sound, but her face remained cold with a sneer. "Young Master is always so adept at pleasing everyone, never missing a beat anywhere."Ferguson Kennedy showed immense patience, "It's a misunderstanding. Xiao Anzhi and Edison Duncan were both there yesterday. The photo was taken by Emma Kennedy. If you don't believe me, ask them."Doreen Pulitzer ignored him, pushing his arm away and walking to the dining table to sit down. Ferguson Kennedy sat across from her, propping his chin on one hand, watching her take a sip of porridge as if expecting praise."How is it? I cooked for three hours."The porridge was just the right consistency, perfectly to Doreen Pulitzer's taste. "Average," she said, giving only a lukewarm response.Ferguson Kennedy's smile faltered, and he pushed a small dish of pickles in front of her. "Try this then."It was a simple dish of pickled cucumbers, but they were cris

Chapter 269: Face Recognition

Real estate agent Xiao Fang had screened a few public buildings, believing that they were ideal in terms of location and orientation, perfect for setting up a company or a design studio. However, after Doreen Pulitzer reviewed them, she was not particularly satisfied with any.Xiao Fang tried to guess her thoughts and quickly pulled up all the suitable properties in H City from the system, showing them one by one to Doreen Pulitzer. Unfortunately, none of them met her expectations.Feeling a bit panicked, Xiao Fang, in an attempt to demonstrate his competence, started rambling. Doreen Pulitzer, however, wasn't really listening; instead, she took Xiao Fang's phone and searched the employee system herself. The screen finally stopped on a dilapidated old house. She tapped the screen decisively, "This one."After seeing it, Xiao Fang felt quite puzzled. Judy Green was also confused, "An old house? Judging by its appearance, it must be from the 1960s. Moreover, it's located in a remote c

Chapter 270: Solitude

"Are you saying... she knew and gave the standard answer?" Ferguson Kennedy frowned, "What reason would she have to hide her condition?""It's hard to say." Doctor Feng shook his head, only able to give a rough judgment based on years of clinical experience. "Miss Chen is very strong-willed and has a cool, detached personality. She's never been defeated by setbacks. Even when faced with insurmountable obstacles, she always finds a way to turn things around. But... from the outside, while the obstacle may have been overcome, the wounds in her heart may not have truly healed..."After all the roundabout talk, it was simply a hint that Doreen Pulitzer's current calm demeanor was just a facade, and she might still be suffering inside.If Ferguson Kennedy were to press for more details, Doctor Feng wouldn't be able to provide a clear explanation. It wasn't that Doctor Feng lacked medical skills, but PTSD was inherently difficult to handle, and Doreen Pulitzer was unwilling to open up and
