Chapter 251: Did You See My Legs?

Father Du had long been accustomed to shouting at Mother Du at the drop of a hat. But this time, Mother Du was truly terrified. If the first two times could be attributed to her eyes playing tricks on her, this time she had genuinely felt a cold, bony hand.The hand was devoid of warmth and damp, and Mother Du felt something sticky on her fingers. She brought her hand to her nose and sniffed, only to catch a whiff of blood.Mother Du was so frightened that her soul nearly left her body. She stammered, "Blood... I just touched a dead person's hand, all covered in blood, my hand is covered in blood...""Coming out with you is really the worst luck I've ever had," Father Du sat on the ground, clutching his foot, wincing in pain. "You're sent by heaven to torment me. What are you still screaming about? Turn on the light already.""I told you, there's blood on my hand, blood!" Mother Du shouted back at him."You're really losing your mind, scaring yourself half to death! Alright, alrig

Chapter 252: Why Are You Treating Me Like This?

"No, no, no!" Father Du roared in a beast-like, desperate howl. "Go help her pick it up, go now!"Mother Du cried, struggling to crawl forward on the ground, as she could not stand up; her legs were as limp as noodles, unable to support her.Although it was just a few steps away, Mother Du crawled for a very long time. As she got closer to the white object, she finally saw clearly that it was indeed a human leg—a bloody, mangled leg with a high heel still attached.Mother Du's entire body stiffened, and she couldn't move. She stared blankly at the leg, and suddenly heard Juliet Wagner's shrill cry, "Pick it up for me, quickly!"Instinctively, Mother Du reached out and grabbed the leg. The blood made it slippery, and the feel of the skin made her scream uncontrollably. She kept screaming until her voice went hoarse, but she still couldn't move an inch. She only felt the pungent smell of blood under her nose. Upon closer inspection, she realized she was lying in a pool of blood, whic

Chapter 253: How Far Is Forever?

Juliet Wagner changed out of her blood-stained white robe and sat in the car that Morgan had parked downstairs, clean and refreshed. She held a steaming cup of red date tea, sipping it slowly as she gazed out the window.The neighbors must have heard the commotion and called the police; now, both the police and an ambulance had arrived. Juliet Wagner saw her parents being carried out on stretchers by medical personnel from the building. They were too far away to tell if they were awake or still unconscious. Her mother's arm hung limply from the stretcher, looking almost lifeless. But Juliet Wagner knew they wouldn't die, for evil people live long."Let's go," Morgan said softly, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze.Juliet Wagner nodded, "Let's go."The Driver started the car, and Morgan pulled Juliet Wagner into his arms. She leaned against his broad chest, listening to the strong, steady beat of his heart, feeling grounded and alive."Damn, that was satisfying!" Even the usually

Chapter 254: Are You Up to Something?

The next morning, Juliet Wagner felt surprisingly refreshed.Morgan Byron returned from his run and brought her some news. "After they were taken to the hospital, they started ranting and causing a commotion. Now, they've been transferred to the psychiatric ward."Juliet Wagner didn't know whether to laugh or not. "They will probably stay in the mental hospital for a while. After another evaluation, they might be released, but I doubt they'll dare to stay in Jiangzhou anymore.""Only by pretending to be crazy can they sever ties with their parents," Juliet Wagner said with a bitter smile, shrugging her shoulders.Morgan Byron had already walked into the bathroom to prepare for a shower, but upon hearing Juliet Wagner's words, he turned back and embraced her from behind.Juliet Wagner was momentarily stunned but then smiled, "I'm fine! I've let it go a long time ago. This is actually quite good. But I wonder when they'll come to their senses. A living person in this world, they'll

Chapter 255: Zhan Pengyuan's Heart Wavers

"Since Manager Zhan has nothing more to say," Juliet Wagner looked up at the wall clock, "then let's adjourn the meeting."Juliet Wagner stood up and walked past Haley Byron.Haley Byron watched as Juliet Wagner's figure disappeared through the conference room door, his anger already boiling over. The day's events had left him in a terrible mood, and if it weren't for his fear of Morgan Byron, he might have lashed out at Juliet Wagner.Returning to his office, Haley Byron began throwing and smashing anything within reach. His secretary stood at the door, too afraid to enter. When Haley Byron finally ran out of energy and collapsed on the sofa, panting heavily, the secretary cautiously approached."Manager Zhan, Tian Da called. They want to know when we will transfer the payment."Haley Byron was already agitated by the situation, and now they were pressing for payment. Where was he supposed to get the money?Furious, Haley Byron raised his phone, ready to smash it, but a sliver o

Chapter 256: You're Going to Give My Dad a Heart Attack!

Morgan Byron listened attentively to the old man's words and then responded seriously."Great-uncle, I have already handed over the position of CEO to Ms. Du, and all the procedures have been completed. Now, for Guannan, I only have the right to make suggestions; the final review and decision-making power now rests with Ms. Du."Juliet Wagner, listening from the side, knew that Morgan Byron would eventually pass the responsibility to her.She glanced discreetly at Pengyuan Zhan standing behind the old man, who looked extremely displeased, his face ashen.The old man's expression was also grim: "Fine, whoever it is, I don't care what tricks you two are up to. If you are now the CEO, then do your job! Not just anyone can be the CEO of Guannan. If this CEO title is just a facade, the board members have the right to vote you out!"Juliet Wagner bowed slightly to the old man, her voice clear and distinct."I’ve just taken on this role, and there are many things I'm still unfamiliar wi

Chapter 257: Life's Purpose

Senior Mr. Byron's face was sullen as he peered through the emergency room door, which was tightly shut, offering no clues. He then walked up to Morgan and started berating him."Seems like you're getting more and more out of line! If anything happens to your great-uncle because of you...""Dad, please keep your voice down. We’re in a hospital," Morgan said calmly, before turning to Juliet Wagner, "Are you tired? Let's go sit on that bench over there."Morgan had always ignored Senior Mr. Byron, not because he was an ungrateful son, but because Senior Mr. Byron had never fulfilled his role as a father. Just as Senior Mr. Byron was about to explode with anger, the emergency room door opened, and a doctor came out. Everyone quickly gathered around."How is my father, Doctor?" Pengyuan asked anxiously."Old Mr. Byron hasn't regained consciousness yet and is still in critical condition.""What should we do now? Doctor, you must do everything you can to save my father!""Mr. Byron, p

Chapter 258: The Baking Class

In the house, on the spiral staircase, Morgan Byron found it particularly difficult and slow to carry her upstairs.Juliet Wagner felt that Morgan Byron was like an old ox.But she slept with a clear conscience.Morgan Byron carried her into the room and gently placed her on the bed, patting her cheek lightly."Brush your teeth before you sleep."She pretended not to hear him.Juliet Wagner was simply too tired.One night without brushing her teeth wouldn't kill her.But Morgan Byron was a man of principle. He pulled her up, carried her into the bathroom, and then squeezed toothpaste onto an electric toothbrush and put it in Juliet Wagner's mouth.She could no longer pretend and had to cooperate with the brushing.With half-closed eyes, she sat on the toilet seat, while Morgan Byron squatted in front of her, helping her brush her teeth.There was a full-length mirror opposite them. Juliet Wagner looked at Morgan Byron's back and her own face covered in foam.The feeling of

Chapter 259: Life Is But a Play

After breakfast, Morgan Byron personally drove Juliet Wagner to work. It was rare for her to see him not in a suit and tie.He wore a casual jacket and work pants, with a pair of Air Force 1s on his feet, and even carried a backpack. Compared to his usual sharp-suited, slicked-back hairstyle, he looked like a young college student.Juliet Wagner was curious about what was in his backpack. He generously opened it for her to check.Inside were some materials from a baking school, his phone, car keys, and, to her surprise, an egg beater.Who would have imagined finding an egg beater in the bag of a powerful CEO?Juliet Wagner, half-amused and half-baffled, asked, "What are you carrying that thing for?""I joined the school's group chat, and I heard their egg beaters aren't very good, so I brought my own," he replied earnestly, as if he was really preparing to enter the baking world.The car stopped at the entrance of Guannan. Morgan Byron got out to open the door for her, giving he

Chapter 260: Why Do You Haunt Me?

Walking out of the hospital's main entrance, Juliet Wagner asked him, "Are you still going to the baking class this afternoon?""Not the baking class today.""Then what is it?""An art appreciation class.""What do you usually appreciate in that class?""Anything related to art."It sounded like a course designed for people with too much free time on their hands.Truly, different fates for different people.Juliet Wagner expressed her envy, "Then take me back to the company.""Even a strong woman needs to eat."If not for Morgan Byron's reminder, Juliet Wagner would have forgotten she hadn't had lunch yet.Indeed, no matter how busy, one must still eat."There's a great ramen place near Guannan Building."Back when Juliet Wagner was still a secretary, she occasionally went to eat ramen with Nina and others."I have a recommendation," Morgan Byron said."I don't have time for a big meal.""It's not a big meal, just a small place."Juliet Wagner was surprised to learn th
