Joanne gently placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. Although only the dress Yvonne Harrington wore at her wedding was buried here, without even a single photograph—Arvin Douglas refused to place her picture there, as it would be an acknowledgment of her death. It was somewhat self-deceptive, but the Xi family couldn't persuade him otherwise and could only set up a simple tombstone, without even engraving a name. However, despite this, the Xi family spent a large sum of money on the tombstone, making it different from others. The black marble shone brilliantly under the sunlight, with a faint purple glow, like a crystal with low saturation. But all this splendor and uniqueness meant nothing now that she was gone. Joanne obediently sat down on the steps, leaning against the tombstone, and whispered, "Mommy, this is Joanne's first time visiting you. I don't know if you can see me." "Joanne misses you, very, very much." "Grandpa still won't let Joann

Lisa hurriedly made her way, intending to leave the banquet directly. But just as she reached the hotel entrance, she heard someone calling her name from behind."Lisa."The voice, as clear and cold as a mountain spring, was the one most familiar yet suppressed in her heart. Almost instinctively, her back stiffened, but soon, she relaxed, cursing inwardly, *Why should I react so strongly? I don't owe him anything!*Clearing her throat, Lisa turned around, her face expressionless as she looked at the person standing behind her."Mr. Pei, do you need something?"Pei Qing looked at her, for the first time showing a calm, indifferent, and slightly puzzled expression—his usual composed demeanor had a touch of confusion and irritation."I have something to discuss with you. Follow me," he said, as brusquely as ever. But this time, Lisa wasn't going to be as compliant as before.She felt a surge of anger, almost ready to lash out."I'm not interested, Mr. Pei. Do as you please." Lisa

Thus, they made their way back to a somewhat remote apartment in the city center. Pei Qing had one hand in his pocket and the other holding a folder. Behind him was his hesitant and uncertain assistant, who kept looking back. Following them were two burly men carrying Lisa.Lisa seemed to have exhausted her curses or perhaps realized that cursing Pei Qing was futile. She now had her eyes closed, her face tense, as if she didn't care what happened next. The two bodyguards were almost carrying her as they walked.When they reached Pei Qing's apartment, he opened the door with a password. The two bodyguards carried Lisa inside and tossed her into the bedroom. As soon as she hit the floor, she bolted toward the door, but the two men quickly blocked her path.Lisa took a deep breath and stepped back. Clearly, she couldn't match the trained reflexes of these men."Go take a shower," Pei Qing said, holding the folder and leading his assistant towards the study, not even glancing at Lisa.

Lisa raised her head to look at the clock on the bedside table, which showed it was only two in the morning. Even so, she had already slept for over four hours.She yawned, suddenly feeling no longer sleepy.At this hour, she wondered if the people guarding outside were still there. Or perhaps they had switched to the night shift to watch over her?A sly smile tugged at the corners of Lisa's lips. Hmph, let's see if she could take advantage of this situation.She tiptoed to the door and peered out, finding that the two bodyguards who had been standing by her door were indeed gone.A secret joy filled her heart; she knew it.Carefully, Lisa made her way to the front door, pressing down hard on the handle, only to find that it wouldn't budge. Frowning, she tried several more times before realizing the door had been locked from the outside, making it impossible to open from within."Damn it," Lisa cursed inwardly, pouting as she took a step back. They hadn't relaxed their guard aft

After a very long time, Lisa seemed to come back to her senses, her eyes regaining their focus.What did Pei Qing mean?What was he trying to say?There was no need to think about it; Pei Qing had already made it crystal clear.But why did everything seem so fantastical, so unbelievable?How could this be?She felt as if her brain was a tangled mess. Lisa, at a loss, hugged her head and curled up on the bed.No, she didn't believe it. She couldn't believe what Pei Qing said.She needed to investigate it herself, to find out the truth personally.This thought rose in Lisa's mind, and she suddenly sat up, recalling all the events.Who came to save her back then?It was Arvin Douglas, yes, it should have been Arvin Douglas.Lisa bit her lip, thinking. It was Arvin Douglas who told her that he would do everything in his power to save her. From beginning to end, the only person by her side was Arvin Douglas.And Lin Xiu...Lin Xiu...Lisa sighed softly. That fool, someone who
