《Village Girl is a Billionaire》 Chapter 1 Undress ah! Ill help you! Chapter 1 Undress ah! I''ll help you! A desert ind . It was raining heavily and huge waves werepping at the reef. Swanstrom Brooks struggled to sharpen the wood with the dagger she carried, the rain beating down on her face as if she was unaware of it. She has been separated from her family for ten years and has managed to find the Gardner family to find the truth about her mother''s death and her abduction, only to be assassinated on her way home by someone iming to havee to take her home. She managed to fight back against the gang, but the cruise ship went into the water and she drifted to this uninhabited ind. It was her seventh day on the ind and there were no passing ships in sight. It is good that there are many trees on the ind and she made a simple wooden boat by herself. The wooden boat will soon be ready, only the oars remain, and it is raining heavily ...... Swanstrom stood up and was about to move his muscles when his eyes suddenly saw something ck on the other side of the reef. She walks over suspiciously and is surprised to find it''s a man! The man''s face was pale, his face unusually handsome, but his waist was wounded, and the blood was mixed with seawater. Swanstrom tested the man''s breathing to make sure he was still alive, and then struggled to drag him up to the ind and carry him to the cave where she had been sleeping for the past few days. When the fire was ready, she ran out again in the rain and came back not long after, with a few more herbs in her hands. "Count yourself lucky to have run into me." Swanstrom said as he reached down to remove the man''s outstretched clothes. Swanstrom visually examined the wound on the man''s waist, it was a stab wound, very deep, I don''t know if it hurt the internal organs. She was about to feel the man''s pulse when her wrist was suddenly sped by arge hand. "Ahem ...... what a man?!" The man''s voice was weak, but the hand that sped her wrist was very strong. Swanstrom swept the man away and said quietly, "What man? Your life saver! If you don''t let go, it''s time for me to make your tombstone. " The man wrinkled his eyebrows and didn''t say anything, his eyes fell on the herbs she was pounding in her hand. "What are you waiting for? Take off your clothes! I''ll help you!" Swanstrom is straightforward to get started. "I''ll do it myself." The man pushed her hand away in disgust and removed his own clothes, but his dark eyes did not drop any of their guard. Clothes soon faded, Swanstrom saw the man''s eight-pack abs, smooth mermaid line side, this man''s body ...... good to a little too much ah. Swanstrom gulped involuntarily as she blushed and carefully applied the herbs to the man''s body. "What is this?" The man opened his mouth to inquire, his voice low and without the slightest warmth. "Herbs to stop bleeding and reduce inmmation." "Where is this?" Swanstrom is a little shy, but hearing these questions instantly impatient to look up at the man, this man is very handsome, but also a little too many questions ah, if she knows where this is, why stuck here for seven days? "Go to school if you have a problem. If you have the strength to talk, you might as well lie down and take a nap." The man''s tone was unpleasant: "This is not the way a doctor speaks to his patients." "Huh?" Swanstrom asked back with a goodugh, "And is that how you speak to the person who saved your life?" The men were very unhappy with her. "Woman, you are rude." "Man, you''re rude." The two men stared at each other and attacked each other. Or Swanstrom, toozy to bother with the injured guy, stood up and said, "It''s raining hard and the ind will be cold at night, I''ll make a fire, you lie down." Swanstrom was about to go to the corner to make a fire when another man''s voice came from behind him, "Hey." "What''s your problem again?" Swanstrom turned around. If they don''t get a grip on life, they''ll both freeze to death tonight! The man opened his mouth and finally said, "It''s okay." "......" Swanstrom didn''t want to talk to him anymore and went to the corner to make a fire. It took Swanstrom more than an hour to get a small fire going in the haystack, which was the only primitive method on the wet, isted ind. But when the wind blows outside, the small fire goes out again instantly. "Hello." The man''s voice rang out again. "What are you doing again?!" Swanstrom just turned around, only to hear a "bang" the sound of metal on the ground, only to see a Zippo lighter rolled to the feet. "......" "???" "!!!" Swanstrom was quiet for three seconds and couldn''t help but break into a cursing fit, "Dog man! Bitch!!!" The man closed his eyes quietly and ignored her, but the corners of his icy mouth ticked out an imperceptible curve. Soon it was night time. The two men were lying on opposite sides of the cave, and Swanstrom was halfway through his sleep when he was awakened by a muffled grunt. She opened her eyes and saw that the man''s already white face was even whiter, and the whole man bowed up, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "Hey, dog man, are you okay?" Swanstrom went over and poked the man''s sturdy arm, but there was no half-hearted response. She hurriedly went to explore the temperature on the man''s forehead, hot and scary. This is a fever caused by wound infection. If in normal times, two tablets of Amoxicillin would have solved the problem, but where would she find Amoxicillin on this uninhabited ind? Swanstrom had no choice but to use physical methods to cool down the temperature. Just to the back, the man finally did not feel hot, but began to shiver, confused and shouted cold. Swanstrom moved the men to the fire, but the situation did not ease. "Damn it ......," Swanstrom cursed, lying down and clinging to the man, using his own warmth to warm him. It''s important to save people, even if he''s a dog. It is said that saving a life will have good luck, if God has eyes, wish her well back to Gardner family to find out the truth. The gang that came to pick her up but wanted her dead, that''s enough to say that there is definitely something wrong with the Gardner family! If it was really her own father who did it, she would never be soft-hearted! Swanstrom hugged the man while thinking about his own mind and unknowingly fell into sleep. Waking up again, Swanstrom only heard noisy footsteps and talking outside the cave. Anyone? She immediately woke up to find herself covered with the man''s jacket, who was nowhere to be seen. Swanstrom hurriedly put back on his clothes and alertly walked towards the outside of the cave. If it was the people who were after her, it was really ...... thanks to them for being so dedicated. However, Swanstrom went to the entrance of the cave, but found a row of ck-d bodyguards standing at the entrance, not far from a helicopter parked, and the lead bodyguard was respectfully saying something to the man. Hearing the sound, the man looked over sideways. Swanstrom for the first time in the sun to see the man''s face, handsome features, a pair of dark eyes deep, powerful aura, except for the face is still a little white, and normal people are no different. The man''s physical condition is many times better than normal. "You ......" Swanstrom had just opened her mouth when the man interrupted her to ask, "What do you want?" "Huh?" She didn''t respond. The man said expressionlessly, "You saved me, I can grant you a wish." Swanstrom was speechless: "You are really rude, saving you, is it so hard to say thank you?" As soon as Swanstrom said this, she saw a group of bodyguards looking at her in shock, as if she had said something strange. On the contrary, the man''s expression did not change at all, and said with a look of surprise: "Miss this time, you will regret it." Swanstrom was furious, but ...... her wooden boat wouldn''t necessarily hold her until she got back to She ground her back teeth hard and said, "My wish is, take me home." This time it was the man''s turn to show a stunned expression. "That''s it?" "Or what?" She now has this one wish, to leave this damn uninhabited ind. The man gave her a look with an idiot''s eyes and turned towards the helicopter. Three hourster, the helicopter was hovering in the sky over Flowarhard Cidy. "Is that the ce?" The man pointed to an estate below. "I think ......" Swanstrom has no memory of her childhood, but she looked up the Gardner family before returning home. It was supposed to be Brooks Manor, but now it''s the property of her real dad who has been missing for All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ten years without looking for her. "Go down." The man gave the order, and the pilot immediately said "Yes". Chapter 2 I am your father Chapter 2 I am your father Gardner Manor. The whole estate is decorated as a birthday party. Maddison Gardner in a LV dress was surrounded by a crowd of celebrities to blow off steam. "Maddy, your dress is so beautiful, just like the stars!" "This is the Spring Limited Edition of Louis Vuitton, right? I can''t even borrow it, but you actually got it, your father is so good to you!" "Happy birthday Maddy, I heard you got a film contract with Mr. Lane, you must be the most popr female artist this year, right? Don''t forget us when you be popr in the entertainment industry." "What showbiz ah, Maddy is to y, with her status, want to be popr is not simple?" Maddison, who was touted by the stars, suppressed her smugness and said, "Thank you guys, I''ll go see when the cake ising." Maddison returned to the vi and almost collided with her mother''s who was walking out. "Mom!" She lowered her voice and pulled Taylor Brooks over to whisper, "Hasn''t the man my cousin sent back yet? It''s my twentieth birthday, and I don''t want people to know that we have another trafficked, uncultured lowlife in the family!" Taylor lovingly tidied Maddison''s skirt and said, "No news is good news, don''t worry, she will never what threat?" Maddison thought so, and even looked forward to the vige girl''s return. There is a contrast that hurts to set off the fact that she is the real nobledy. "Mrs. Gardner!" the maid rushed in to report, "There''s a Spencer family helicopter parked on thewn." "The Spencer family?" Maddison''s eyes lit up, "Mom, you and Dad didn''t invite Khalid over for me, did you?" Taylor was surprised, too. Gardner Group is also a nationally known firm though, with a presence in Flowarhard Cidy. But the Spencer family is at the top of the world, and Khalid Spencer is the heir to the Spencer Group, and the family doesn''t deserve to invite Khalid to their daughter''s birthday. Maybe ...... is the deal that hubby negotiated with Spencer Group that Khalid is taking seriously? "Go check it out!" Taylor''s heart was suspicious, but more than that, she was surprised. If their family can climb up to the Spencer family, then really the next life will not have to worry. Mother and daughter fix each other''s makeup and walk briskly towards thewn in a hurry. A group of Flowarhard Cidy nobles had already gathered on thewn. As soon as Maddison passed by, she was surrounded by celebrities with envy. "Maddy, you actually managed to hire the Spencers, you are amazing!" "It''s so important that you didn''t even tell me about it. If I had known, I would have hired a special makeup artist to do my makeup." Maddison''s face smiled, but his heart despised. the Spencers are here for her, what kind of makeup do these people wear? Khalid must have spotted her at the Spencer Group''s celebration partyst month! She''s about to be the honorable Mrs. Spencer! Just then, the door of the helicopter slowly opened. Amidst much anticipation, a ragged girl jumped out of the helicopter. The girl is slender, but her face is all ck ash, can not see the original face, the hair is like a month without washing, stick to the scalp, is very wretched. "This ......" The crowd looked at Maddison, and some people who were not used to Maddison said mockingly, All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. "Maddy, this is not the honored guest you invited, right? A ...... beggar?" Maddison was furious and walked over with her feet up and asked, "Who are you? Who are you to attend my birthday party?" "A birthday party?" Swanstrom instantly recognized who the strutting girl was. Information shows that she is Taylor''sadopted daughter, but detectives told her that the girl is her Auntie Taylor and her real father Morgan Gardner''s illegitimate daughter. Her own daughter is still alive and dead, but she is throwing a birthday party for her illegitimate daughter? Ha! "Who am I?" Swanstrom looked deeply into the girl''s eyes and said, "I''m your father!" "You--" Maddison was about to get angry when Swanstrom added lightly, "The biological daughter." The expression on Maddison''s face instantly freezes, and the guests attending the birthday party instantly show their eyes for a good show. Maddison reacted and asked in dismay, "You ...... you are Swanstrom ?" The vige girl? Sure enough ......vige girl ah! Taylor was more sensible and walked up quickly and said, "Swanstrom, is that you? I have been waiting for you for a long time, poor boy, you are finally back ......" Swanstrom hooked his lips: "Auntie Taylor, how are you?" She was smiling though, and her tone was full of sarcasm. Her mother''s own sister is married to her own father? Brother-inw married his sister-inw? What a ridiculous thing! They, there must be something wrong with them! Guests whispered, "I hear Mrs. Gardner is the sister of the former Mrs. Gardner. ......" "This must be Miss Brooks who was abducted by traffickers ten years ago, right?" "In the past, the Gardner family was the Brooks family, and Mr. Gardner was only a son-inw by adoption of the Brooks family, and once the Young Lady of Brooks family died, the Brooks family The Young Lady of Brooks family died, and the Brooks family became the Gardner family." "And this past? It''s really ......" Taylor heard the chatter, a little embarrassed, dry cough said: "Baby ah,e back good, Auntie Taylor take you to freshen up, you see how you are ...... get so dirty. Life in the country is very poor, right?" By this time, not even forgetting to remind everyone that she is from the countryside, it seems that she is really upset with herself. Swanstrom was about to speak when a low voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Hello." Everyone looked sideways and was stunned one by one after seeing the people who came down from the helicopter. Khalid! A small move can cause the global economy to react to Khalid ? "Mr. Spencer?!" Maddison greeted her with surprise and inquired, "Are you here for my birthday party? Thanks ......" Maddison can''t hide the joy in her eyes, and the shyness on her face is obvious. She thought Khalid would just send someone to congratte her, but she never thought that Khalid himself would actuallye! Her happily ever after ising! Maddison really wanted to jump up and cheer. The people next to him even cast an envious look at Maddison. Although it is an adopted daughter, but climbing Khalid, the good times wille! However the next moment - "Who are you?" Khalid wrinkled his eyebrows and seemed to see Maddison only then, the impatience and confusion in his eyes evident. Khalid doesn''t even know her! "Pfft ......" someone next to me couldn''t help butugh out loud. "What the heck, I thought Mr. Spencer was here to wish Maddison a happy birthday, people don''t even know who she is." "Hahahaha ......ughs my ass off! If I were her, I''d find a crack in the ground right now and glue the crack shut and nevere out!" Maddison''s face turned from tion to shame as she red at the two celebrities who spoke. Taylor was quick to react and came forward to speak for her daughter: "Mr. Spencer, I didn''t know you were here, but I''m so d you''re here. It''s my daughter''s birthday today and she misunderstood that you were here to wish her a happy birthday. It seems you are here to discuss cooperation with Morgan, he is upstairs, please go in and have a cup of tea." The guests immediately withdrew their mocking nces. It was also a great honor to have Khalide in person to discuss the partnership. However, the next moment, Khalid again - "Do I know you?" Taylor''s invitation froze in mid-air. Mr. Spencer...... doesn''t know her either? Chapter 3 Sitting and waiting for the Gardners to make a fool of themselves Chapter 3 Sitting and waiting for the Gardners to make a fool of themselves "Pfft ......" The guests struggled to hold in theirughter. This pair of mother and daughter, funny toe, right? Taylor was embarrassed. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Khalid doesn''t know her either, so who is he here for? She snapped to ...... Everyone, including Swanstrom, whom she didn''t feelfortable with, seems to have gotten out of Khalid''s helicopter. She didn''t even associate Swanstrom with Khalid for a while because he appeared so suddenly and his image was so unkempt. Does Swanstrom know Khalid? No sooner had this thought urred than Taylor saw Khalid walk around her to stand in front of Swanstrom. "Are you sure that''s what you wish for? It''s not toote to talk about it." Swanstrom looked puzzled: "Are you ddin''smp? I said just drop me off." Everyone around them, including Taylor and Maddison, looked at Swanstrom and Khalid incredulously. What is the situation? Does this beggar know Khalid? Khalid''s dark eyes were fixed on Swanstrom, and he was about to speak when Mr. Gardner''s voice rang out excitedly-- "Mr. Spencer! Why didn''t you call me in advance? I''m so sorry to wee you!" As soon as Mr. Gardner spoke, he noticed the crowd looking at him with idiotic eyes. Taylor even closed her eyes directly. What''s going on here? Morgan finally sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere here and surveyed the surroundings. When he saw Swanstrom, his brow furrowed. "Maddy, why did you invite a beggar to your birthday party? Get out of here! Don''t stain Mr. Spencer''s eyes!" Maddison''s face stiffened, and with some happiness in her heart, she said with aplicated expression, "Dad, she''s ......" "Dad!" Swanstrom interrupted Maddison and spoke up, "Don''t you recognize me? I''m Swann." Her nickname is Swann. "Swann ......" Morgan raised an eyebrow and two secondster asked in shock, "Are you ......Swanstrom ? " "It''s me, Dad." Swanstrom stepped forward. After ten years, she has no memories of her childhood, but she has a familiar feeling about this face. Morgan took a subconscious step back when she heard Swanstrom''s words. It was a fear, the fear of a secret being discovered. Swanstrom was keenly aware of it, but she continued, without moving, "Dad, I missed you so much after all these years." Morgan stiffened and forced herself to reach out and pat Swanstrom on the shoulder: "Good to be back, good to be back. ...... But what''s with the outfit, Mr. Spencer too, why does it... Mr. Spencer, too, how... doesn''t look too clean?" After Morgan''s reminder, the crowd realized that they were so focused on Khalid that they hadn''t noticed that his clothes were wrinkled and soaked. Maddison''s eyes moved suspiciously between Swanstrom and Khalid. These two people, there should not be anything, right? But Maddison quickly dismissed this suspicion, Khalid''s status is so noble, how can he possibly look at Swanstrom this dirty, ugly and smelly vige girl? Unless he is blind! Taylor, seeing the awkwardness of the situation, hastened to speak up, "Your Lordship, it seems that Mr. Spencer sent us back from Swanstrom." "Is that so?" Morgan''s dislike for Swanstrom was a little less in his demeanor when he heard that. Anyway, when that happened, Swanstrom was still young and supposedly had amnesia, so he couldn''t possibly remember. But if you can use Swanstrom to climb up the Spencer family ...... is definitely a solid deal! Morgan immediately looked at Khalid with a big smile and asked, "Mr. Spencer, you know my baby girl! Thank you for bringing her back. If you don''t mind, why don''t youe home, freshen up and have a meal before you leave?" Taylor also said, "Yes, Mr. Spencer, we have a few new sets of clothes for the guests, so why don''t you go change?" Khalid opened his mouth to refuse. But he is a bit clean, soaked in seawater clothes to wear until now, is his limit. Morgan saw that Khalid did not refuse and immediately made a "please" gesture and whispered to Taylor, "Get Swanstrom cleaned up." Taylor has been married to Morgan for almost a decade, and she immediately understood the meaning behind the phrase "get well groomed". I want to use Swanstrom to establish a connection with the Spencer family. Such a good thing should belong to her daughter, not Swanstrom! Darcey Brookspared herself to herself because of her noble status when she was alive, and after her death, she will never allow Darcey Brooks'' daughter to be more noble and more striking than hers! Taylor smiled and agreed, pulling Maddison over and saying, "You take Swanstrom to freshen up, she''ll be your sister from now on, you''ll get along well." That said, the look he gave Maddison was meaningful. Maddison immediately understood, turned to Swanstrom with a smile and said, "Sister, I''ll take you to a bath to dress up, okay?" Swanstrom doesn''t think the mother and daughter are as epting as she appears. She didn''t show any doubt and smiled innocently, "Yes, sister." The two men entered the vi together. Guests at thewn party whispered and spected about what Khalid was really up to. But no matter what theye to do, Khalid, they will have to treat the Gardner family seriously in the future. The second floor of the vi. "Sister, this is the guest room, your room is not yet packed up, you can use it temporarily first. The toiletries inside are allplete, I''ll get you the clothes to wear." "Okay, thank you." "Ah, yes, sister, can you use the water heater? It''s constant temperature, no need to adjust the temperature." Maddison "kindly" reminded, under the eyes of the contempt but not hidden. As if not noticing, Swanstrom said with a faint smile, "I''ll use it." She had lived abroad for so long, how could she not even know how to take a shower? "That''s good, then I''ll go get your clothes." Maddison smiled and turned to go out, closing the door for a moment, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She took out her handkerchief and wiped it hard on the hand that had held Swanstrom''s and threw it on the ground like a virus. This ugly girl has a real stink on her! Mr. Spencer would never have seen her and bringing her back must have been an ident. ...... Inside the room. Swanstromfortably takes a hot bath. After a week on an isted ind, she felt like she was going to rot. With the hot water flowing to the face, the face of the ck ash and mud and water slowly fade away, revealing the original white and tender skin. An impable little face was revealed, as beautiful as an elf. Ten minutester, Maddison knocked on the bathroom door. "Sister, the skirt is brought, open the door, I''ll pass the skirt in for you, the shoes will be ced at the door, youe out and put them on." "Good." Swanstrom opened a small slit and caught the skirt in. She didn''t see the teasing under Maddison''s eyes. This dress is a Gi high-fashion dress, more expensive than the one she''s wearing, and she went to great lengths to get it. It''s just that when she bought it, she couldn''t wear it. Because this dress is perfect, but it is very figure-hugging. Its cut, only supermodel figure, without a hint of fat, but also very need bust people can manage, ordinary people will only wear either fat, or not hold up. She just didn''t wear this set today because she doesn''t have a corbone, plus her shoulders are thicker and she can''t wear it. When Swanstrom, the ugly girl, wears it, everyone willugh at her! Chapter 4 - Turning peoples stomachs down Chapter 4 - Turning people''s stomachs down A vige girl, even if wearing the most expensive dress in the room, will only be a clown! If her father mes her, she is not afraid, after all, she has contributed her most expensive dress in the closet, who let Swanstrom itself is not strong enough to support the dress? And the shoes, which are ten centimeters high. Swanstrom from the countryside may not have ever worn high heels in his life, let alone ten centimeters of shoes. Maybe Swanstrom will take aical fall while walking up the stairs ...... Maddison almost apuded herself for her resourcefulness. She is looking forward to the moment when Swanstrom will be seen in this dress. Yes! To show everyone that this so-called sister is an inferior person who doesn''t deserve to be her sister at all! "Sister, I''m going to wait for you downstairs, the dinner will start soon,e down as soon as you are dressed." "Good--" came Swanstrom''s voice from inside. Maddison heard the answer and turned to leave quickly. She wants the party to start early so all the guests can see how ugly Swanstrom looks! In that case, Swanstrom and Khalid are even more unlikely! Maddison came downstairs in a good mood humming a little tune, forgetting all about the embarrassment she had just brought to herself on thewn because of Khalid. What is embarrassment? Swanstrom would only be more embarrassed, and then she wouldn''t be embarrassed. Inside the bathroom. Swanstrom scavenged the guest room for the needle and thread kit before going in to take a shower. She guessed that Maddison must not be so kind as to bring her clothes that fit her, so she nned to cut and improve them herself. She was surprised to find that the dress fit exceptionally well when she put it on and stood in front of the mirror. She originally had a tall and slender figure, a standard model figure. Plus she lived on the ind for a week, her corbone was even more obvious, and after wearing the dress, her temperament blended with the high-definition dress, and it was as if the dress was custom- made just for her. Is Maddison really that kind? Was she wrong about Maddison, who turned out not to be that bad? Swanstrom, confident that he hadn''t missed anyone, went through the dress again. After five minutes, she was finally sure that there was nothing wrong with the dress and that nothing was going to go wrong. So what''s going on? Swanstrom looked in the mirror again for a while and began to notice the cut of the dress. This dress is very picky, need to be tall and extremely thin, but also to have a chest, thick arms and shoulders, back very thick people can not wear. But if the body meets these conditions, the dress is just very good-looking and can stun everyone. Swanstrom faintly hooked up the corners of his lips, the original ......Maddison is ying this idea ah. Then I''m sorry, but I''m afraid Maddison will be disappointed by her years of fitness and her natural condition. If Maddison wants to see her make a fool of herself, then she won''t let her! Originally, she had nned to keep a low profile, so as not to steal the limelight too much at other people''s birthday parties. But Maddison''s approach made her realize that if she wanted to find out something, she would have to stir up the apparently peaceful home first. Only when this home is in chaos can something sunken underwatere to the surface. Swanstrom slipped on the silver heels Maddison had prepared for her and walked out of the room with her feet up. High heels are very high, a little inattention, it is easy to fall. ...... Downstairs. Maddison brought the dinner forward, and the lobby was lit up and beautifully decorated. With champagne in hand, guests watched as Maddison took the stage to deliver her speech. Khalid had already freshened up ande downstairs. He had no interest in these pretentious celebrities'' boring birthday parties, but the girl had saved his life after all, so he had to wait for her toe downstairs and say hello before leaving. Even though, he felt that the girl was very rude and uncultured, and did not have the temperament of a nobledy at all. Maddison stepped up to the stage with a microphone. She saw Khalid wash up and didn''t leave straight away, just thinking that maybe Khalid was really here for her. So powerful and noble man, must be because embarrassed to personally say to her dare interest, so that time to pretend not to know her. That must be it! Mr. Spencer had good intentions, and she could not let someone as honored as Mr. Spencer take the initiative. So as soon as Maddison opened her mouth, she greeted Khalid first. "Hello Mr. Spencer, wee to my birthday party, I ...... am very happy to see you on my birthday." She looked at Khalid with affection . Khalid just felt baffled. Who the hell is this woman? She looks like she knows him well, which is disgusting! Speaking of which, why hasn''t that rude girle downstairs yet? Here Maddison talks about Khalid all the time, afraid that people don''t know that Khalid attended her birthday party. At that moment a maid came over and reported quietly in her ear, "Young Lady, Miss Brooks is heading downstairs." "Very good! Turn on all the lights on the side of the revolving staircase!" She wants everyone to notice how humiliating that ugly duckling Swanstrom is! "Yes, Young Lady!" the maid responded and went to do so. The lights on the revolving staircase from the second floor to the first floor were all turned on, and whoever was standing there at the moment would attract everyone''s attention, because it was like a shining stage. Just, but instead of a princess standing on the stage, it''s a clown, and everyone justughs. Maddison timed her return to the stage, took the microphone and said, "Actually, today is indeed a good day. Besides being my birthday, it''s also the day my half-sister came home. Ten years ago, she was abducted by human traffickers and her whereabouts are unknown. Today she has returned to our family from the countryside and I am really happy ......" As soon as the words left his mouth, footsteps sounded on the second floor over the stairs. Ta-da ...... All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. It was the sound of high heels grabbing the ground. Maddison struggled to suppress a smile at the corners of her mouth, which made her expression look strange as hell. But she was oblivious, her right hand raised in the direction of the stairs. "Now, please join me in apuding my sister''s arrival!" The guests at the scene did not know the truth raised their hands in a perfunctory apuse, the apuse was sparse and not very enthusiastic. A small beggar from the countryside, what''s so worthy of apuse and wee from people of their status? If not for the fact that the Gardner family is also a well-known family in Flowarhard Cidy and that Khalid is also here, they wouldn''t even bother to look over, for fear of staining their eyes. They are such noble people, when do they need to see a beggar ah? Upstairs Swanstrom heard everything Maddison said. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her daylight eyes skimmed over with mockery. So anxious to see herugh? She never took any pride in her appearance, something like appearance is the most unreliable. But now, she was kind of looking forward to the way Maddison would look when she saw her face. Chapter 5 She, the stunner! Chapter 5 She, the stunner! Swanstrom lowered her eyshes, collected all her emotions, and steadily stepped down the first step with both hands lifting the hem of her skirt. The first thing the crowd saw was a foot wearing JIMMYCHOO high heels. Those beautiful feet, the exposed toes are small and lovely, the ankles are slender, and that skin is even more because of the light, as if like a genie appears, it calls for infinite reverie. Maddison was also dismayed to find that someone''s feet were so good-looking that they could go on to be foot models. She subconsciously looked at the reaction of the guests, several male guests just about drooled. Then look at Khalid , dark eyes are also fixed on that foot. An overwhelming fear haunts Maddison''s mind. But only a momentter, Maddison resumed watching the good show. One foot only, when Swanstrom the whole person down, these people will not drool, but vomit! In a sh of thought, she looked back and saw that Swanstrom had already picked up his pace and was heading down the road. Let''s go! Go a little faster! Such high heels, she had to walk carefully, Swanstrom will not fall! It is better to fall immediately and roll down the stairs to be wonderful! But to Maddison''s surprise, Swanstrom did not fall, but walked fast and steady. Each step, that solid, simply impossible to fall. Maddison was disappointed and dismayed, why could Maddison walk so steadily in high heels? What Maddison doesn''t know is that Swanstrom once wore a mask to an international runway show in order to save the day for her supermodel friend, and she has worn 15cm heels, and a mere 10cm heel is no big deal. She suddenly remembered that she had seen on TV what celebrations there often were in the countryside, where people paraded around in ridiculous masks, dressed as giants. Perhaps Swanstrom has had this experience? Just then, she could already see Swanstrom''s waist, which was as slender as if it could be broken with one hand. The clothes Swanstrom wore when she first got off the helicopter were dirty and big, so it was impossible to see her figure. Thin enough to make her jealous! However, what is the use of thin? With a dirt and ugly face, a man can probably only ept it with the lights off. Maddison''s jealousy faded fast and all she could think about was Swanstrom going faster! Faster! As she had hoped, Swanstrom seems to have picked up the pace again. Maddison only sees the long, slender and smoothly defined arms on both sides of the waist muscle. Immediately after, she saw the beautiful corbone, elegant and slender swan neck ...... The more you get to the back, Maddison''s fists on both hands are clenched tighter and tighter unconsciously. She was nervous, although she herself didn''t know what she was nervous about. Finally, Maddison saw Swanstrom''s face. It was a small face with three-dimensional features each of which was impable, and these features were put together andbined to form a stunningly beautiful face she had never seen in her life. Especially those eyes, like two priceless gems. In an instant, all the words she could think of to describe a beautiful woman popped into Maddison''s head. And these words, apparently, are not enough to describe Swanstrom . Is this ......Swanstrom? Is this really Swanstrom ? She actually has such a beautiful face? Maddison''s face turned instantly white. Swanstrom is so good-looking, and she gave Swanstrom an expensive and perfect dress that fits Swanstrom perfectly? She''s furious! She''s going crazy!!! Maddison''s face had turned pig liver colored. She doesn''t even want to look at Swanstrom''s face anymore because she can''t help but be ashamed! Maddison turned to the audience to see the reaction of the guests, only to see everyone stared nkly at Swanstrom, eyes moving with Swanstrom''s movement, apparently looking dumbfounded. As for Khalid, his handsome face, which had been expressionless, also showed a hint of emotion that Maddison could not understand. Is that ...... amazing? Even someone like Khalid was wowed? Taylor was also frozen, she had always known that her elfin sister had a beautiful face. But she didn''t expect Darcey''s daughter, who grew up in the countryside, to be even better than Darcey. At this rate ......Swanstrom can steal the honor away from his own daughter by a face alone! Taylor immediately went to look at Morgan''s face. Morgan''s eyes were also dull, but he was after all Swanstrom''s father and did not show the kind of lustful eyes of the male guests on the scene. But his eyes bloomed with a sh of light. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. From what Taylor knows about Morgan, Morgan must be feeling like a treasure right now. Morgan must be overjoyed to suddenly have a daughter with stunning beauty! That''s not good! She can''t let Swanstrom take away the love that belongs to both of them! She underestimated Swanstrom. She couldn''t let Swanstrom stay! Swanstrom walked down the stairs to see the look on his "good sister''s" face. Maddison''s expression twisted, and it was clear that her appearance waspletely beyond Maddison''s expectations. Swanstrom believes that if the ce wasn''t full of people, Maddison would havee up and scratched her face. A girl''s jealousy can sometimes be worse than an atomic bomb. Pretending not to read the expression on Maddison''s face, Swanstrom walked over and asked with a big smile, "Happy birthday, sister. But, what''s wrong with you? Your face doesn''t look too good, is it something wrong?" Swanstrom has a very nice voice, but it sounded like a curse to Maddison''s ears. Maddison struggled to maintain a normal expression, forced a dry smile and said, "No, I''m fine ......" "It''s good that you''re okay. By the way, that''s a nice dress you lent me, it fits perfectly." She deliberately put emphasis on the word "fit". Maddison was furious with her. Swanstrom must have done it on purpose! "You ......" Maddison was surprised that she passed out from her own anger. "Ah ...... sister!" Swanstrom also did not expect Maddison to faint directly, she subconsciously went to help, but the action was a step too slow. Hearing a "bang", Maddison fell heavily to the ground. Chapter 6 You and I get married? Chapter 6 You and I get married? When she fell to the ground, her carefully groomed look became messy and woefully out of ce. "Maddy!!!" Taylor immediately rushed to the stage. Worried, she also did not forget Swanstrom, deliberately look in the right direction, with a shoulder to squeeze Swanstrom. Swanstrom wore ten centimeter heels and stood right on the edge of the stage. She was so suddenly hit by an external force, the whole person standing unstable to the stage to fall ...... But she quickly put her hands on her head to protect it. So that even if you fall, you will not bump your head. However, to Swanstrom''s surprise, she did not fall to the ground as she expected, as a pair ofrge hands held her steady and carried her directly off the stage. Swanstrom subconsciously went to see the owner of the hand. I just saw a handsome face looking at her with a frown: "Wearing such high shoes, do you want to fall to your death?" It''s not like she chose it herself! Swanstrom opened his mouth to retort, but held back, after all, it was also good intentions. If not for him, she would have fallen heavily. Swanstrom swallowed his retort and was just about to say thank you when Morgan came up-- "Oh baby girl! Are you okay? Just now Daddy wasing to help you, but I didn''t expect Mr. Spencer to be one step ahead of me ...... Mr. Spencer is so good to you!" Morgan''s tone was meaningful, his face full of care. Maddison, who was carried upstairs by the crowd, Morgan didn''t even look at. Swanstrom heart spared, her father ...... she almost believed that he really is a very loving daughter good father it. Swanstrom really doesn''t understand why a mother with such a perfect profile would want someone like Morgan in the first ce. She came back this time and was bound to check this out as well, because she thought something was fishy. There must be some secret that she doesn''t know. "I''m fine, dad, you''d better go upstairs and check on your sister. She suddenly fainted somehow, so don''t let it be some serious illness." Swanstrom''s expression is gentle and calm, not showing any dislike for Morgan, apletely understanding and well-behaved daughter. Morgan is extremely happy with Swanstrom. He must have been blessed in hisst life to have such a perfect daughter! Morgan said, "You''re right, I''ll go check on your sister first, so I won''t bother you and Mr. Spencer. Khalid wrinkles his brow. Your own home? The Gardner family is worthy? He gave Swanstrom a quick nce, but ultimately refrained from making any snide remarks to Morgan. When Morgan left, Khalid said, "I''m not here to attend a party, I just wanted to confirm that you really don''t have any more wishes?" Swanstrom is somewhat helpless. In fact, she had only researched the Gardner family inside and out before returning home, and didn''t know much about the domestic economic environment. But the Spencer family''s reputation is as well known as it is not investigated. And it was clear from the reactions of the guests and Morgan that Khalid is a big name in the country. But she asked herself what she didn''t do while she was on the ind, she just did what a would-be rescuer should do. Except for the ...... thing where she clings to this man. But she prefers to forget, when nothing has happened. Swanstrom spoke firmly and seriously, "Khalid, I feel your heart, but I really don''t need it." If there is something she wants, she is perfectly capable of getting it herself. She has not relied on anyone else in her life. Khalid''s already fondly wrinkled brow tightened. "Woman, do you know what you are rejecting?" To ask him for a wish without restrictions, which is what countless people dream of, and this stupid woman has repeatedly refused him. He really wanted to knock this stupid woman''s brain! Swanstrom looked at Khalid like this, and for some reason, thought it was kind of funny that Khalid was so serious about making her wish. She shrugged her shoulders and asked, "And what, pray tell, did I turn down? Rejected a Prince Charming? Also, I''m not called a woman." "So what''s your name?" "My ...... name is Swann." Swann is her nickname, given to her by her adoptive parents abroad. "I got it. You still haven''t said what you wish." Swanstrom simply joked, "You have to repay the favor, how about ...... you marry me?" "......" It was Khalid''s turn to not know what to say, and the expression on his handsome face looked very The atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant. Swanstrom gave a dry cough to lighten the mood, "I''m just kidding, so forget it, I don''t need anything."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. "Yes." Khalid suddenly spoke. "What?" Swanstrom didn''t respond and asked in dismay, "Can what?" Khalid returned to a cold expression and said, "Your wish, I need to go back and discuss it solemnly with the people of the family, because it is not my business alone." "Wait ......" Swanstrom stared round in shock and speechlessness, "You didn''t take what I said seriously, did you? I told you, it was just a joke!" "Sometimes, jokes hide sincerity." "But I''m really kidding, I''m not interested in you!" A rare look of confusion appeared in Khalid''s eyes: "Why? Flowarhard Cidy Every girl wants to marry me." "That doesn''t include me!" "Anyway ...... I''ll get back to you after that, I''ll go first." Khalid turned around and lifted his feet, clearly not believing her joke that it was really just a joke. As soon as Khalid left, the bodyguards who were guarding the corner immediately followed him. "Hey! Stop where you are, let''s talk!" Swanstrom saw that Khalid had gone straight away and rushed after him, but was blocked by his bodyguard. "Excuse me, miss, please stop!" "No, I have something to clear up with him!" The bodyguards did not get out of the way and it was clear that no one could approach Khalid without his authorization. This is the reason why so many celebrities are in love with Khalid and the male guests are trying to climb on board, but none of them really dare to go up to him. Swanstrom could only watch as Khalid left in a helicopter. She was annoyed, this man couldn''t really take her joke seriously, could he? But that chagrin quickly disappeared. It is a normal person will not take it seriously. What age is it? It''s unlikely that anyone would really consider repaying with marriage after being saved in this day and age. He must have been joking, only the way he joked was also full of his personal touch - so serious that she almost thought it was real. Swanstrom grimaced, she was actually fooled by that guy''s joke! With that in mind, Swanstrom stopped thinking about how to exin to Khalid and took a closer look at the man who used to be Brooks Manor. What happened to make a family as big as the Brooks family disappear and bepletely reced by the Gardner family? Chapter 7: Never Forget Her Again Chapter 7: Never Forget Her Again Swanstrom was surrounded by several celebrities. "Miss Brooks, I see you have a good eye, mind making a friend?" "Miss Brooks, you have a great body, any tips on how to stay in shape?" "Let''s add a friend, since we are back in Flowarhard Cidy, we can contact each other more in the future." A few of the celebrities looked sincere as if they really wanted to make friends with her, but Swanstrom could tell right away what they were up to. She pretended not to see it and nodded with an innocent look on her face, "Yes ...... I''d love to make some friends over here too." Here Swanstrom is surrounded by celebrities and chatting away. Upstairs Maddison finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Taylor holding her hand with a worried look on her face, while Morgan next to her was obviously a little distracted and not worried about her at all. Maddison hates Swanstrom and mes Swanstrom for that bitching along and taking away her father''s favor! Maddison was exasperated and aggravated, tears gurgling down her face: "Mom ......" "Baby, you''re awake? Don''t cry don''t cry ......" Taylor was distraught. Morgan, who was next to Maddison, saw that Maddison had woken up and immediately said she was going downstairs. "There are still so many guests downstairs, you wake up and clean up, I''ll go downstairs to look after the guests." Morgan said, and did not wait for the mother and daughter to speak, turned and hurriedly left. As soon as the door closed, Maddison couldn''t resist grabbing a pillow and throwing it at the door. "Mom! Look at Daddy him! I can''t take it anymore! I want Swanstrom gone right now!" Taylor was also angry that it was supposed to be her baby girl''s birthday party, but everyone''s attention apparently fell on Swanstrom. Taylor took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and turned to calm her daughter, "Baby, don''t be anxious, if something happens just after shees back, your dad he will definitely suspect us. You know, your father is extremely macho and hates people who don''t listen to him, you must be steady!" "So what now?" Maddison covered her face and cried: "My birthday party is all ruined! Everyone will go back andugh at me like crazy. Those women, they love to gossip!" Taylor was about to speak when Maddison''s wet nurse, Tia, knocked on the door and happily held up an envelope in her hand and said, "Wonderful, Mrs. Gardner, Young Lady, congrattions!" Maddison turned her face away uninterestedly. "Nothing good at all right now, it''s all just bad stuff! Today is the worst day of my life!" Swanstrom took away her honor, she fainted in public, and who knows what the celebrities will say about her? Taylor was the calmer one and asked Tia, "What is it? What''s that in your hand?" Tia hurried over and said, "I just got a delivery from Young Lady with the Royal College of Coffee badge on it." "Really?" Taylor hurriedly took the document delivery from Tia''s hand. After she opened it a few times and read the words on it, she happily took Maddison''s hand and said, "Maddy, what a great news! Thest Ladies Coffee Contest, you were the winner!" The Ladies Coffee Contest is a joint event run by all the top baristas in the world, and by winning this contest, it is customary for this winner to be the spokesperson for Spencer Group Deep Night Cafe. It''s already amazing to be able to participate in thispetition, and it''s a great honor that her baby girl got the championship! Maddison was happy to hear the news and took the file to watch it over and over again. In addition to congrattions, she was also informed that she would be attending the award ceremony at Grandee Hotel in Magh City next week. As in previous years, Khalid was on hand to present the award and announce the new spokesperson for Deep Night Cafe. Maddison was instantly happy. Taylor smiled and said, "Mr. Spencer must have remembered you from this birthday party, and he will definitely look at you differently when you show up." Maddison squeezed the paper tightly and said giddily, "Yes! When I get the endorsement, all those celebrities who gossip about me will shut up!" She''ll be the center of attention again, and maybe Khalid will never forget her! "This is a great joy!" Taylor took off the pearl bracelet directly from her hand and put it in Tia''s hand, saying, "You brought good news, here''s your reward." Tia subconsciously refused: "Mrs. Gardner, this is not allowed, I just helped to pick up a delivery ...... This pearl bracelet must be worth hundreds of thousands of dors, right?" Taylor forced down Tia''s hand that pushed back and said, "This bracelet is not worth hundreds of thousands of dors, you can just take it to the store and sell it for a million dors. Of course, this is in addition to the reward for this matter, but also need your help to do one thing." The greed in Tia''s eyes could not be hidden and she took the pearl bracelet and asked, "What is it?" Mrs. Gardner said, "I will do it for you!" "Keep an eye on Swanstrom for me! If she does anything unusual, you will report it to me in real time!" "Yes! I will keep an eye on that wild girl from the countryside!" Taylor heard this, but there was a faint sadness under his eyes. Is Swanstrom really from the country? The people she sent to pick them up have not returned yet, and there is no news. Also, the street address given by that Swanstrom girl is on Antos Ind, which is not the countryside ...... When that wild girl Swanstrom gave her address, she didn''t think much of it, just that ten years had passed and she might have gone to Antos Ind from the countryside to work. But now it seems that maybe she should check carefully what this girl has been doing and where she has been during these ten years. That temperament is not something that a girl raised in the countryside can have. Thinking of this, Taylor could not help but remind her daughter: "Maddy ah, Mom thinks that girl is not simple, before I think of countermeasures, you do not act rashly, so as not to cause everyone''s suspicion, more trouble." "Got it, got it." Maddison''s mouth promised, but her heart was not satisfied. A country bumpkin, apart from inheriting her own mother''s good looks advantage, what else is not simple? Is it possible that even her own mother''s IQ can be inherited? IQ and talent of this kind of thing, arge degree of relying on but the acquired exercise. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. She is a cultural achievement, and all kinds of celebrities can be very good! After all, she was trained by arge pile of money, that country girl has money to go to a normal high school is good. Will she still be unable to deal with a vige girl? This time it was just a miscalction on her part. "Mom, I have an idea. I want to invite Swanstrom to join me at the awards ceremony. By then, Swanstrom will definitely be ashamed of herself and know that I''m not even close to her." Taylor thought about it and thought it would work. "Yes. Not only should she be invited, but get your father toe along and let him know that, with her two daughters, your honor and future is far above Swanstrom''s!" Both mother and daughter were happy, just waiting for Swanstrom to show his face of shame. A vige girl who only has looks can''t stand long in Flowarhard Cidy. Chapter 8 A Viper Chapter 8 A Viper With the title of coffee champion, Maddison quickly recovered and after fixing her appearance, she went downstairs with Taylor. Maddison came downstairs first thing to look for Khalid , but looked around and did not see Khalid look. She pulled over one of her close celebrities and asked, "Where''s Mr. Spencer?" "Mr. Spencer is long gone." "Did he say anything before he left?" Maddison pursued. Naomi thought for a moment and said, "He kept talking to that sister of yours, and with all the bodyguards next to him, I couldn''t hear what they were saying. But their conversation seemed unpleasant." "Unpleasant?" Maddison''s expression cheered up and asked, "Unpleasant how?" "I don''t know, anyway, it''s just that at the end Mr. Spencer said something and left directly after, and that sister of yours went after him to continue to say something and was stopped by his bodyguard." "That is, Mr. Spencer wasn''t very close to her either." The Spencer family is a family like that, how can they be familiar with a vige girl? " Maddison cheered up and raised her eyebrows, "I like you a lot, and I''ll tell Dad to give your family a few more orders." "That''s great! Maddy, thank you so much ......" As the two were talking, Maddison suddenly heard several celebrities not far away mockingly say, "Maddison still has the face toe downstairs? She saw her sister''s face and she all just fainted with anger ......" "If I were her, I''d stay at home for three years and wait for everyone to forget about it beforeing downstairs!" Maddison was so angry that she raised her foot to go over and argue with those people. But halfway through the walk, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. No way! She can''t choke with these celebrities. These people are more friendly with whomever they see more scenery, it is not worth her anger at all. If she argues with them, it will only damage her image as a celebrity. There will be a Flowarhard Cidypetition soon, and all these daily routines will be counted in the score. The focus now is on Swanstrom, the vige girl! Once Swanstrom is taken care of, who else can beat her? When the timees, these people will naturally have nothing to chew on. A vague idea is slowly emerging in Maddison''s head ...... Swanstrom should be made to disappear as soon as possible and not take his time, just like his mother. A long dy means trouble, and who knows what else wille out of Swanstrom''s appearance? Night. The guests have left and the servants have cleaned up the hall and gone to their respective rooms to sleep. Swanstrom''s room has been packed out and Morgan has given her a suite with a balcony, which is a great deal and shows how much Morgan thinks of her. Of course, Swanstrom knew very well that Morgan was not interested in her as a person, but in the benefits she could bring to Morgan. Meanwhile, Swanstrom also discovered that a servant had been watching her since the second half of the party, secretly spying on her. So afraid to wash up and get ready for bed, Swanstrom was also on alert. Who knows what bad ideas the people in this vi have in mind to deal with her? Maddison tossed and turned, thinking of ways to deal with Swanstrom. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea. "Tia,e to my room." She dialed Tia''s number and soon Tia knocked on the door and came in. Tia opened her mouth and asked, "Young Lady, what can I do for you?" After taking that million-dor pearl bracelet, Tia became even more loyal to the mother-daughter pair of masters. Even though the maids have changed their names to Miss Maddison, she still calls Maddison Young Lady and only identifies Maddison as her master. Maddison inquired, "Anything unusual on that little bitch''s end?" Tia shook her head and said, "Right after the party, Miss Brooks was called by His Lordship to the study to talk, with an extra bank card in her hand, presumably from the pocket money he gave her. After this she went back to her room to sleep, and did not act in any other unusual way except for asking for water." Maddison''s eyes lit up with jealousy. She gets all her allowance from her mother, Morgan is a very cheap person, and Swanstrom gave her a card on her first day back! She was even more determined to make Swanstrom disappear immediately. "Tia, I need one thing, you get it for me and put it in her room." "What is it?" "A poisonous snake!" She thought about it, their family lives in the estate, the estate is located in the mountains, if a snake crawls into Swanstrom''s room in the middle of the night and bites her, then Swanstrom''s death can be purely idental, no one can investigate her head! "A poisonous snake? You''re going to let a poisonous snake poison her?" Tia''s hands were shaking a bit, although she had done a lot of bad things for the mother and daughter, but she had never done something like killing. "What? You don''t want to?" "It''s not that I don''t want to ...... I''m loyal to you and Mrs. Gardner." Tia exined, "Mostly, Mrs. Gardner said not to arouse suspicion for now ......" "That''s enough! I don''t want to hear this. Mom she is cowardly and doesn''t know that A long dy means trouble. making the first move is the right way to go! If you won''t do it, there are people who will. But, Tia, I remember your son is a gambler, and you''ve taken a lot of things from my house to fill his debts, right?" N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Tia looked at Maddison incredulously, not expecting that at her young age, she had learned to hold on to others and ckmail them into doing things! The things she stole from the estate are worth high prices, ording to the value of the sentence, enough to put her in jail for a long time ...... Maddison added: "Of course, Tia, you also watched me grow up, I will not do so absolute, as long as you help me work, those things will always be a secret. Tia, you choose. Do it, or don''t do it?" Tia slowly closed her eyes. Does she have a choice? The night is deeper. Swanstrom had already fallen asleep, but she had a string on her heart, even if there was any movement in the room, she could wake up immediately. Halfway through her sleep, she suddenly heard a small sound on the windowsill. Swanstrom awoke immediately, but she did not move, remaining t on her back. Only footsteps were heard over the balcony, and after a few seconds of lingering, the footsteps faded away and soon disappeared. Someone walked across to her balcony! However, the man did note in and did not know what he did. Swanstromy down for a while longer to make sure the man didn''te back, then she turned on the cell phone Morgan had given her and used the faint light from the screen to illuminate it. She made sure there was no one else on the balcony side. Just stood for a while and then left, what was he doing here? To spy on her if she''s asleep? It must not be that simple! Chapter 9 Wanting her life Chapter 9 Wanting her life Swanstrom simply got up, but she didn''t turn on the lights, still using her cell phone for illumination, carefully searching every part of the room for clues. "Hiss--" Suddenly, she heard a strange sound, like someone inhaling quickly. Swanstrom pinpointed the direction of the sound and found that it came from her bed, just a meter from her feet! What the heck? Swanstrom hastily turned on the brightest light of his cell phone and shone over there. Only a cobra was seen. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. The snake seems to have long been on her, half its body standing up, its green eyes ghostly staring at her. If she hadn''t heard the sound of voices getting up, she would now be lying in bed unable to move. Just then, the cobra had attacked, and with a force of its tail, it flew directly at her neck and towards her! Swanstrom was trained to react extremely quickly as she dove and rolled to avoid the cobra''s attack. Then she quickly got up and grabbed the tail of the cobra and threw her right hand hard to p the snake to the ground. The snake was directly knocked out by her. Swanstrom got up and grabbed the scissors he had hidden under his pillow to prevent idents, and walked over to cut off the cobra''s head. But when the scissors were about to touch the cobra, Swanstrom suddenly realized that it was a kind of cobra, but it lived in the south, and there would be no such snake in the north. This is not a snake that crawled into her room by itself, someone put it there on purpose! Swanstrom thought about the footsteps she had heard, and now that things corresponded, she finally knew what the person who had stood on her balcony for only a moment and then left, was really doing. These people want her dead! Swanstrom''s head was running fast. Morgan now finds her useful to climb up the Spencer family and dotes on her, so there is no way she would do such a thing. The only ones that are likely are Taylor and Maddison. But Taylor, a very calm and intelligent person, could not have done this on her first night back, the most likely to do this, is Maddison. Thinking of this, Swanstrom''s eyes slowly narrowed, after the refraction of the moonlight, her eyes emitted a faint as the moon like the cool color. Trying to get her killed? Maddison also has to weigh his own weight first! The night is deeper and the bright moon is nting in the west. Almost everyone in the vi fell into a deep sleep, and 1 a.m. is the time when people sleep the deepest. Maddison couldn''t sleep at all in her room. She''s waiting, waiting for the news that Swanstrom is dead. She just waited for a few hours, or did not wait for the "good news". Finally, Maddison couldn''t sit still, she called Tia, who quickly and quietly arrived in her room. As soon as Maddison opened her mouth, she questioned, "Did you not do that?! Tomorrow morning, you''ll be waiting for the police toe to your door!" Tia hastened to exin, "Young Lady, you misunderstand me! I already did, I went and bought the most poisonous snake avable in the market and put it in her room two hours ago." Maddison wrinkled her brow and asked, "Then why haven''t you heard anything by now? A snake bite would surely wake you up in pain, and I''m so close to her room, two balconies over, but I haven''t heard any screams at all." "Then ...... I don''t know." "Could it be that the snake won''t bite?" Tia immediately denied it: "No, the snake seller picked out a snake for me that had been hungry for days and was aggressive. When he sees a live one, he''s sure to bite it." Maddison was confused, "So what''s going on?" Tia thought about it and guessed, "The snake seller said that the snake was so toxic that without treatment, the person would be dead in a moment. Maybe ...... it wasn''t that the snake didn''t bite her at all, but, by the time she reacted, she had ......" Maddison''s eyes lit up and as a result of Tia''s words said, "Maybe she''s dead!" Tia looked at Maddison''s face and carefully inquired, "So Young Lady, do you need me to find an excuse toe in and take a look?" "No need." Maddison waved her hand and said, "This matter should be done unnoticed, if you go now, you will be suspected. Anyway, the person is already dead, it is safer to collect the body the next day, in case she is sent to resuscitation now and can be saved?" Tia nodded thoughtfully, "Young Lady is right, we''ll just wait until tomorrow morning to collect her body! By then, her body will be cold, not to mention the most powerful doctors, even the great gods can''t save her." Maddison couldn''t suppress a smile at the corner of her mouth as she casually took off the ne around her neck and handed it to Tia. "You did a good job, and this is a reward for you. Anything you need in the future, just ask me." "Thanks Young Lady!" Tia''s original fear of killing waspletely washed away by the ne. She didn''t kill anyone, it was the snake that killed. When she dies, God can''t put the crime on her head. "Okay, you go back, I''m going to get a good night''s sleep." Once she woke up from her sleep, she could collect the body of her good sister and cry bitterly at her funeral. If she cries well enough, people may also feel that she is very empathetic. She also wants to enter the entertainment industry, and these good performances will add points to her poprity. It was a wonderful evening today ...... Maddison turned off the lights in the room andy back on the bed, and the curve of her mouth never went down until she fell asleep. Because of the good mood and thete hour, Maddison, who had not been sleeping just now, soon fell asleep and had a very beautiful dream. In the dream, it was the scene of her attending the certificate ceremony, Khalid thought she was so talented that he fell in love with her at first sight, and he announced in public that she was the future mistress of the Spencer family, his Khalid''s wife! She has since embarked on the top of her life, living the life of a pampered broad wife. However, the sleeping Maddison did not notice that a figure had quietly arrived at her balcony ...... As thete night passes, dawn is approaching. The time when all is quiet, suddenly - "AHHHH!!!" A frantic scream pierced the clouds with a shriek. Birds perched on severalrge trees on the property were startled and waved their wings and flew away from the treetops. "What''s wrong?" "What happened?" "I don''t know, I heard shouting, someone shouting for help ......" "Quick! It looks like the Miss Maddison room!" The maids were awakened, found the source of the sound, and immediately rushed to Maddison''s room. Maddison didn''t lock the door to her room, and the maids opened it and ran in. Maddison was seen copsing on the edge of the bed, convulsing, foaming from her mouth, and her face had turned blue and looked like she was about to die. The maids were frozen. "What is this ...... all about?" The maids came back to their senses and lifted their feet to go over to the rescue. "Wait a minute! Don''t go over there yet!" A maid said in horror, "There''s a snake on the bed!" Chapter 10 A slap on the wrist Chapter 10 A p on the wrist "What?!" The crowd looked in the direction of the servant''s finger, and saw a spitting tongue was "hissing" with a letter. The snake was different from ordinary snakes, with a head that big and swollen on both sides of its neck, as if it was about tounch an immediate attack. This time the servants suddenly did not dare to continue to move forward after the panic have fallen back. "Hurry! Run!" One by one, the servants fell back and scrambled out of the room. Just then, Morgan and Taylor arrived. Seeing this scene, Morgan also took two steps backward, not daring to go forward. Taylor iron blue a face, trembling and spoke: "What''s going on ...... how can there be snakes? How can be bitten by a snake? What are you guys still standing around for? Hurry up and kill that snake!" The servants one by one you look at me, I look at you, froze none of them dare to go forward. Let them go up to deal with that very poisonous cobra? You''re kidding! Only Tia, who camete to see this scene, had a colorful and pastel expression on her face. Isn''t this the snake she put in Swanstrom''s room? How did it get here? At that time she carried the transparent box containing the snake are feeling shaky legs and stomach, this time ispletely afraid to go forward, because she is iparably clear about the toxicity of this snake. If the serum is not administered within an hour, Maddison is dead! The bias ...... matter she could not say to anyone. Taylor saw no one around dare to go forward, can only go to pull Morgan: "husband! Go kill the snake!" But how could Morgan dare toe forward? However, in front of so many people, he did not want to lose the majesty of the head of the family ...... If word got out that his daughter had been bitten by a snake and he didn''t dare to go up, where would his old face be? me the damn, cowardly maids and Taylor who dragged herself out! If it wasn''t for them, how could he have stepped into this dilemma? Morgan picked up a broom and nned to move forward, when a clear voice with confusion sounded: "Dad, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Morgan turned his head and saw Swanstrom in his pajamas, his hair a mess, sleepy eyes, and an appearance of still being awake. He said a little embarrassed, "The room crawled into a snake, your sister was bitten by a snake and fainted, I have to go up ......" "How can I do that?" Swanstrom, with no sleep in his eyes, grabbed Morgan and said, "It''s too dangerous! Dad, you can''t go there!" Taylor heard this, angry, right hand up, a p to Swanstrom''s face - Swanstrom could have easily avoided the p, but she decided not to. Heard a "pop -" a crunching sound, a solid p to Swanstrom''s face. Well yed! Swanstrom''s pale, delicate cheeks instantly swelled up and five fingerprints were left clearly on his face. Taylor finished the fight and opened her mouth to curse: "Little bitch! You just want your sister to die here, don''t you? Tom, get her out of here right now!" Tom, the housekeeper next to him, could not be driven away, but had to go to see Morgan''s reaction. Before Morgan could say anything, Swanstrom blinked her eyshes, tears flowed down her face, and she said, "Dad, I''m just worried about your safety, you''re the head of the family, if something happens to you, what can we do? I just found my dad and don''t want to lose the person closest to me!" That''s the kind of thing that speaks to Morgan''s heart. Yes, he is the patriarch and everyone is waiting for him to feed them! If something happens to him, the family will be lost, won''t it? Sure enough, this treasure daughter of his understands her! N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Morgan frowned and red at Taylor. "What are you doing hitting a child when you''re fine? She''s just worried about my safety too!" "But she obviously just wants Maddy ......" "Auntie Taylor!" Swanstrom interrupted Taylor and said, "If you have to be so suspicious of me, then I''ll prove that I didn''t want anything to happen to my sister!" Swanstrom said, took the broom from Morgan''s hand and walked fearlessly toward the snake. "Young Lady, be careful! That snake is very poisonous!" The maids who couldn''t look away kindly warned. Morgan couldn''t help but hesitate that Swanstrom was now his more valuable daughter than Maddison. "Daughter, don''t go!" Morgan tried to stop, but Swanstrom walked towards the snake directly away from Morgan''s hand. The cobra was clearly enraged and saw Swanstrom move forward and flew straight at him. Swanstrom "struggled" to avoid the snake''s attack, and quickly turned around and swept the snake''s tail with his broom. The cobra became even more furious and the sound of spitting letters was even more terrifying: "Hoooooo ...... hiss ......" Everyone was too scared to move, or to hide far away, only Swanstrom a person in therge room and the cobra struggling. In the eyes of the crowd, Swanstrom is now a warrior. Incredibly brave warriors! Finally, after more than ten minutes, Swanstrom finally grabbed the snake''s head with great difficulty and "difficulty". "Give me scissors or some kind of knife!" "I have a knife here!" A bold servant came toward her and handed her a fruit knife. Swanstrom quickly took it, closed his eyes, looked scared but had to do that, and cut the snake''s head off with his knife. The dreaded cobra''s body and head separated and could no longer move. Morgan then dared toe forward and asked Swanstrom with concern: "Daughter! Are you all right?" Swanstrom a look of panic, saw Morgan , ran straight into his arms ...... "Daddy! I''m so scared ......" "Good girl, don''t be afraid, it''s not dead, the snake is dead through!" "I''m not afraid when I have my dad around ...... dad, leave me alone for now and get my sister to the hospital ......" Swanstrom raised his head with a pitiful, yet determined expression tenacious. Morgan was so moved that she wanted to cry. He is so lucky to have a daughter as kind as an angel! When he saw the p marks on Swanstrom''s face, his anger rose up and he red at Taylor and said, "Look what you''ve done! She gave up her life to protect Maddy, and you still think she wants to harm Maddy''s life?" "I ......" "Just like you, you don''t know right from wrong, I think you are not qualified to take charge of the family''s affairs. From now on, I will be in charge of the family''s financial ounts and expenses!" The blood faded from Taylor''s face at once. "Honey, I just ......" Taylor rushed to defend herself, but Morgan cut her off- "Shut up! I don''t want to hear it! From today you will go to your room and reflect on yourself, and you will not be allowed to go out until you have done so!" A servant came in to report, "Master, the ambnce is here." Chapter 11 Finding the Murderer Chapter 11 Finding the Murderer Morgan then remembered that Maddison was still lying on the floor, convulsing. He ordered the maids to carry Maddison downstairs and took Swanstrom with him to prepare to go to the hospital. "Honey! Don''t you go, take me with you!" Taylor''s tears flowed incessantly, "Maddy is my ...... watched growing up, I can''t wait around at home!" Morgan looked at Swanstrom''s poor, frightened face and said with a hard heart, "No! You''re going to your room and you''re going to think about it! Somebody, please! Take Mrs. Gardner to her room, and don''t let her out without my orders!" "Yes!" The maids forced Taylor to be taken away. Swanstrom followed Morgan to the ambnce. She softly spoke up and pleaded on Taylor''s behalf: "Dad, why don''t we let Auntie Taylor go with us? I see that she and her sister are very close, and she will be very worried if she stays home alone." Morgan, however, had only four words to say: "No more." He finished, sighed, looked at Swanstrom and said, "You silly boy, you''ve suffered in the country, haven''t you?" "No ...... I''m having a good time." Swanstrom is telling the truth about this. She did have a good time abroad, too good to be true. But Morgan only thought she was stubborn, and again a sigh, said: "You are so naive child, in this Flowarhard Cidy to how to live on oh ...... more timeter, I well talk to you about this side of the world for people. " "Thanks Dad!" "It''s all in the family, and say thanks ......" Soon, the group arrived at the nearest hospital. Maddison was taken directly to the resuscitation room because her heart had stopped beating. The two men waited anxiously at the door of the resuscitation room. Of course, the main anxiety is Morgan, two daughters are his career upward bargaining chip, and both are his biological, Maddison ident, he is naturally anxious. I don''t know how long it took, but the door to the resuscitation room finally opened and the doctor came out from inside. Morgan rushed to ask, "Doctor, how is my daughter?" The doctor replied solemnly, "The patient is out of life threatening condition, but still needs to be observed for a few days. This snake is extremely poisonous, and if it is sent here in another ten minutes, no one can save her! But how did you get bitten by the snake? This snake should not be in Flowarhard Cidy." Morgan asked suspiciously, "What does that mean? Our family lives in an estate, and the estate is on top of a hill, so it should be normal for snakes to crawl in, right?" The doctor shook his head and said, "This kind of snake is unique to SOUTH, there are no wild ones in NORTH, or if there are, they are shipped from SOUTH. Perhaps, you can go back and find out what is going on." Morgan''s face sank: "You mean this could be man-made?" "Most likely." Morgan''s fists clenched: "Who the hell is trying to kill my daughter!" His eyes involuntarily fell next to the Swanstrom body, under the eyes slightly suspicious look ...... Swanstrom, as if oblivious, followed Morgan''s indignation: "How dare you try to kill someone with a poisonous snake! Dad, you must find out what''s going on, this is murder!" Morgan heard Swanstrom say this, the suspicion in his heart slowly dissipated. Such things cannot be done by her, a vige girl who is new to Flowarhard Cidy. She has no heart and fights bravely with snakes, he really should not suspect her! "Let''s go home first, I need to find out who brought this snake in!" "Dad is right, we must find out! Today this snake bite is sister, tomorrow if it bites dad ...... how can this be good? Dad, you must find out as soon as possible to find the killer!" Swanstrom said seriously and seriously. Morgan is convinced. Once he finds out who put the snake on the property, he will not be able to get around him! Morgan left someone to take care of Maddison at the hospital, and he took Swanstrom back to the manor to investigate the matter. The estate. Taylor was grounded, but hermunication tools were not confiscated, and she got the news first that Maddison was okay, so her nerves rxed a bit. But when she heard that the biting snake was maliciously put in, her whole body shuddered with anger. "Mrs. Gardner, His Lordship is back!" A servant reported to her quietly at the door. Taylor couldn''t stay in the room any longer, the door was locked and Morgan had the key. She went around the room, simply found an ink stone, broke the lock of the door with a knock and broke out. Swanstrom and Morgan had just entered the house when they saw Taylor dashing down the stairs. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Taylor said as she ran, "Honey! It must be that bitch! She wanted to get rid of my Maddy, so she brought back the snake from the south from the country! She''s the only one who came back from south! Honey, you have to do something for Maddy!" Swanstrom took two steps back and spoke with the utmost aggression, "Auntie Taylor, you suspected me of harming my sister from the beginning, and I put my life on the line to prove my innocence, just to save her ...... That''s not all, and now you''re ndering me by saying that I brought the snake? brought?" Taylor pointed at Swanstrom''s nose and cursed: "It must be you! It''s you! Don''t you y the poor man! Honey, lock her up for questioning!" "That''s enough!" Morgan said patiently, "You''ve already ndered her once, do you want to do it again? I''ll get to the bottom of this and give you an exnation! Now, go back to your room and don''t "Yes, Master." Once again, the servants forced Taylor to leave. "Honey, you have to trust me! Be sure to check out ......" Swanstrom watched Taylor''s back as she was led away, certain that the Cobra incident had nothing to do with Taylor. If Taylor had been involved, she would never have been able to say something like "find out". That''s great ...... Maddison is going to pay for her stupidity and viciousness! Swanstrom turned to Morgan and said methodically, "Dad, I saw a lot of surveince in the house when I entered, so you can check to see who has been in and out of the property during the night. You can also send someone to the nearby ces where you can buy snakes and ask if anyone has sold any poisonous snakes." "You''re right." Morgan ordered the butler, "Do it now! Also, check thoroughly the rooms of everyone on the estate to see if there are any more poisonous snakes." Although it is only three or four o''clock in the morning, but he did not sleep at all, afraid that suddenly where a poisonous snake emerged. Not long after, the maid in charge of checking the surveince came to report: "Master, we found that Miss Maddison''s wet nurse had left the manor at eleven o''clock. There was no one else but her." "Tia?" Morgan''s eyes narrowed: "Bring her in for questioning immediately!" Chapter 12 Self-made Sins Chapter 12 Self-made Sins Soon Tia was brought in by force. As soon as Tia saw Morgan, she shouted, "Master, I''m innocent! I went out because my son was in trouble again, and it had nothing to do with the snake. I''ve always been loyal to the Gardner family!" Morgan didn''t listen to Tia at all, and with a big wave of his hand, he ordered, "Tie her up!" The maids immediately got on and tied Tia up. Morgan handed the maid the whip: "Give me a beating!" The maid hesitated a bit, but finally moved. "Pah--" The hand rose and the skin fell, and Tia was instantly skinned, rolling on the floor in pain and wailing in agony. Swanstrom watched indifferently from the sidelines. It seems that it was this old thing that sneakily appeared on her balcony and let the cobra in. She''s going to pay for her actions, so Swanstrom won''t have an ounce of weakness at all. By the time the maid hit the tenth stroke, Tia could not even scream anymore and was in a cold sweat. But even then, she didn''t tell the truth. Because ...... this is homicide! The maid in charge of the beating couldn''t help but say, "Master, you can''t beat her anymore, she''s too old, if you keep beating her, someone will get killed!" Morgan doesn''t want to take a life before the matter is cleared up. He was just about to open his mouth to order to stop fighting when the maid who had gone out to inquire came back. "My lord, I asked at Southern Market that someone bought a poisonous snake from him in the middle of the night." Tia''s spine stiffened on the floor, and Swanstrom, keenly aware of it, immediately asked, "Did Tia go shopping?" The maid shook her head: "I didn''t ask, I brought the man here directly, by the way, to confirm if the snake was bought from him." Morgan nodded: "Very well, bring the men in!" "Yes." Soon, a snake dealer walked in restrainedly. Morgan called for the disembodied viper to be brought to the hall and asked the snake dealer, "Is this the snake you are selling?" The snake trader nodded after just one look, "Yes, this is the snake. The scales on its tail were identally removed when I was trading, and this is the snake, sir." Morgan sneered, walked over and picked up Tia, who was afraid to look up from the ground, carried All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. her to the snake dealer and asked, "Did this old woman buy this?" The snake dealer did not know what was going on, but this battle, he did not dare to lie, looked at Tia, nodded: "It was her ...... she said she wanted to make medicinal wine with poisonous snakes, I rmended her the most poisonous kind of south snake in my ce." The evidence is all there. "Now, what have you got to say for yourself?" Morgan asked coldly as she tossed Tia away. Tia was half sitting on the floor, trembling, but still not saying a word. Swanstrom spoke up at the right time: "Tia, at this time, you really do not need to hide. Before the policee, tell us why you want to kill Maddy! She was raised by you, and you want her life, don''t you think you are too evil?" "No ...... I didn''t, how could I harm Miss Maddy?In my heart she is like my daughter ah ......" "So who are you going to hurt? To hurt Dad?" Swanstrom steps in, and with the possibility of Tia biting her back, says directly, "Or, who ordered you to do it, just to set me up? You''re not going to sayter that I told you to buy the snake to harm people, are you?" Tia, who was about to take a bite out of Swanstrom, seemed to choke. She just has to say that Swanstrom ordered her to do it, but Swanstrom said so, if she says so, it will look too deliberate ...... While Tia was hesitating, Swanstrom said directly, "Dad, call the police, this kind of person is so vicious, it''s better to spend the rest of your life in jail!" "No! No, my two sons still need me ......" Tia immediately begged for mercy, kowtowing directly to Swanstrom. Swanstrom faintly said: "Then you tell the truth, ah, tell the truth, maybe Dad will still remember the old feelings, let you off ......" Tia waspletely shaken. By telling the truth, there is still a chance that she will not be taken to jail, and by not telling the truth, she will only go to jail instead of Maddison. She didn''t really intend to give that much to Maddison''s mother and daughter. "I said, I said everything ......" Tia cried bitterly, "Miss Maddy told me to do it! She told me to buy the snake and put it in Miss Brooks'' room, only I don''t know how it got into Miss Maddy''s room ......" Swanstrom immediately said, "I''m very close to Maddy''s room, the snake may have crawled down the balcony to Maddy''s room. I really didn''t expect that Maddy actually hated me so much, she was obviously very nice to me ......" Swanstrom''s eyes were full of innocence, a look of disbelief, as if he had been struck by a painful blow. "Bastard old thing! And that little hoof! Sins of your own making!" Morgan looked up to the sky and took several deep breaths before regaining hisposure and spoke, "Bring Mrs. Gardner down here and show her what a good daughter she''s teaching is really like!" Obviously he spent a lot of money to raise a famous daughter, but he never thought that his famous daughter would do such a vicious thing! Swanstrom saidfortingly, "Dad, don''t be too angry, my appearance was really sudden, my sister just couldn''t ept it for a while. I believe that, in time, she will ept me ......" "It''se to this, and you''re still speaking up for her? Your kindness will get you killed! If you''re not careful today, you''ll be the one bitten by a snake!" Swanstrom shook his head: "People make mistakes, sister is still young, will understandter ......" Just then, Taylor was brought down. After listening to Tia''s story, Taylor''s face turned blue and there was some hatred in her eyes. She gave birth to a stupid daughter! She clearly told Maddison that it was not the right time to do it yet, but she didn''t expect Maddison would not listen to her and made such a big move without her knowledge! "I''m sorry, husband, it''s all because I didn''t teach my daughter well, when shees back, I will definitely educate her properly! Swanstrom , Auntie Taylor I''m sorry you, also wronged you, you can''t be general with your sister, definitely I will definitely let her love each other with you." When Morgan saw Taylor''s initiative to apologize to Swanstrom, she was less angry with Taylor. "That''s it! The family scandal can''t be publicized, this matter ends here. But this old thing can''t stay any longer! Someone, send her to a farm in the countryside, and don''t let her have contact with anyone!" "Yes!" Tia was forcibly taken away. Soon, a call came from the hospital. "Master, Miss Maddison is awake, she doesn''t want to be hospitalized and wants to be discharged home immediately." "Whatever she does!" Morgan''s tone was bad. After all, Maddison is so vicious that if she can hurt Swanstrom now, she can hurt himter! He really doesn''t know how he could have given birth to such a thing! Hospital. Maddison couldn''t wait to get back to Gardner Manor as soon as she was discharged from the hospital. She''s going to tell Daddy that Swanstrom put that snake in her room! Swanstrom wants her dead! Chapter 13 Teaching you to be a man Chapter 13 Teaching you to be a man This little bitch is so vicious that Dad will definitely kick her out of the house, and in the future, the Gardner family''s Young Lady will still be her. She doesn''t want to be Miss Maddison! "Drive faster, I want to go home immediately!" Maddison urged the driver anxiously. The car raced along and soon arrived at Gardner Manor. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw that the vi was brightly lit, like everyone hadn''t slept. Everyone must have been worried about herfort, so none of them slept. She is indeed still the Gardner family''s most precious little princess. Maddison, secretly pleased with herself, walked through the door of the vi with a confident stride. Maddison could expect Taylor and Morgan to shush her as soon as she walked in. At that point, she aptly pointed out that the snake was most likely Swanstrom''s, so Swanstrom could pack his bags and get out! Nope, Swanstrom didn''t bring anything at all, she could have just gotten the hell out! The more Maddison thought about it, the more excited she became and the faster she walked. The mere thought of Swanstrom being driven away made her blood boil, which made her almost forget the pain of her wounds and the difort of the poison. "Mom!" Finally, Maddison walked down the hall. The hall was lit up, all the servants stood in the hall in silence, the atmosphere was deadly silent and heavy, as if something bad had just happened. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. This was not what she had expected to see when she arrived home. "Mom, did something happen?" Maddison asked Taylor, who also seemed very silent, in disbelief . Taylor walks up to her with a chagrined face. But looking at Maddison''s pale face, she couldn''t curse after all, but only asked in a stiff voice: "How are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry to get out of the hospital?" Maddison remembered the "business", ignored the strange atmosphere in the hall and said, "Mom, I''m fine, I came back because I have something important to tell Dad!" Taylor''s heart rose a bad feeling, she subconsciously pull Maddison said: "What there is something to talk about tomorrow, today there is such a big thing, when you get well, I will talk to you properly." "No, Mom, it has to be now!" If she loses this moment and opportunity, she''s not sure there''s a better way to get rid of Swanstrom. She couldn''t wait a moment longer!!! Maddison feels that her mother is too indecisive, and at times like this, it''s time to kill! So she pushes Taylor away and heads for Morgan. "Dad! I have something to tell you!" Maddison said, while looking deeply at Swanstrom , the eyes are full of rampant and smug. Swanstrom read Maddison''s eyes and tilted his head with interest in his eyes. Morgan''s face was frosty as she asked coldly, "What are you going to say?" If Maddison had taken the initiative to admit her mistake, he would have considered forgiving her once. However - As soon as Maddison opened her mouth, she said, "Dad, the poisonous snake that bit me was put in my room by Swanstrom! She didn''t like me, so she wanted me to die! Such a vicious woman, Dad, you absolutely can''t keep her!" Morgan was stunned,pletely unable to guess that Maddison had done that, not only unrepentant, but also trying to bite Swanstrom back. How in the world did he raise such a stupid and bad daughter? Maddison saw Morgan did not say anything, and thought Morgan still did not want to get rid of Swanstrom, and quickly continued: "Dad! You can''t be soft! If she can''t kill me this time, there must be another time! If she can hurt me, she can hurt you!" Morgan''s eyelids fluttered hard twice. He then raised his hand in an unbearable manner and swung his hand and pped Maddison hard. "Pop-" A crisp p sounded through the hall. The p was many times heavier than the one Taylor gave Swanstrom, and Maddison spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground with a "poof". Also spit on the ground, and a white tooth. She had a tooth knocked out directly by Morgan! Maddison was straightforwardly confused. How is ...... going? Shouldn''t Dad be there to p Swanstrom? Why would he p her? Maddison reached up and covered her face in disbelief. She was about to ask Morgan why she was hitting her when Taylor ran over and pulled Maddison right in and said, "Don''t say anything, go upstairs first!" "No! Why should I go upstairs?!" Maddison was aggravated and annoyed. She fought again to shake off Taylor''s hand and turned to Morgan and questioned, "Dad, why did you hit me? It was Swanstrom who did the wrong thing, so why did you have to be so biased and hit me, the victim?" "A victim? You still think you''re a victim?" Morgan was so angry she couldn''t speak, gasping for air. "Don''t I? I''m all hospitalized, and the doctor said, a few minutester, I wouldn''t be able toe back ......" Maddison said with a sense of dread. Swanstrom''s lips were faintly hooked and her smile quickly faded as she stepped forward and said, "Sister, it''se to this, and you''re still not telling the truth? Do you have to make dad angry?" Maddison wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Since when is it your turn to talk in this house?" Swanstrom raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that you don''t know that everyone already knows about your evil deeds, sister." Maddison clenched her fists a little sheepishly and asked, "What do you mean?" Swanstrom lightugh: "It seems you do not know, your wet nurse has confessed all the things. You asked her to buy a poisonous snake to bite me to death, the result of that poisonous snake crawled down the balcony to your own room ...... sister, to put it bluntly, you are self-inflicted ah!" Hearing this, Maddison stared in bewilderment. Tia ...... betrayed her? She suddenly thought of the unusual atmosphere in the hall when she first entered the house, and the perversity of Taylor''s incessantly stopping her from talking. So, everyone already knows the truth? No wonder! No wonder Swanstrom''s eyes are so provocative! No wonder dad pped her! Maddison panicked for a moment and tugged on Taylor''s sleeve: "Mom ......" In the end, it is his own daughter, Taylor is still incredibly heartbroken Maddison, took her into his arms and whispered: "Do not say anything, follow me upstairs! Maddison finally behaved, no longer dare to say anything, honestly followed Taylor upstairs. "Stop!" Morgan spoke in a cold voice: "From today onwards, you will stay in your room and reflect on yourself, and you will not be allowed to step out of your room for a month! I will hire the best teacher to teach you how to behave!" Maddison''s blood flowed backwards in fear. Everything in this house is run by Morgan, and without his love and trust, she''s in danger of being the one thrown out! Thinking about it, Maddison''s already pale face became even paler. She regrets doing that, but it''s useless to regret it now, it''s toote. Chapter 14 - One Billion Dollars Chapter 14 - One Billion Dors Swanstrom looks at Maddison''s back as she is led upstairs by Taylor. It seems that the p in the face she received from Taylor was well worth it. But it was also thest time Taylor could hit her. After Maddison went upstairs, Morgan approached Swanstrom and said, "Swann, I think your nickname is Swann, right?" Swanstrom nodded, her tweed name duplicating Maddison''s, which she now kind of dislikes. "Here''s the deal, Swann." Morgan sighed and spoke with a very difficult look: "Your sister was spoiled by me and did such a bad thing, I am also responsible. Originally it was necessary to call the police, but she is your sister after all, we are family. And nothing has happened to you, she has eaten her own evil, let''s just forget about it, let''s pretend nothing happened, but in private I will discipline her properly, I will also make up for you, okay?" Swanstrom''s hands, hidden in the sleeves of his pajamas, slowly clenched. What do you mean by "nothing happened to her either"? If she had really been bitten by a snake, Maddison would have arranged everything and would not have alerted anyone. By dawn, her body was cold, and Morgan was actually going to pretend that nothing had happened and just put Maddison in confinement for a month? At this moment, Swanstrom got a clearer picture of Morgan''s face. He will not easily give up Maddison withoutpromising Morgan''s own interests. After all, one more daughter is one more bargaining chip to climb thedder of power. Morgan, is a total profit-minded person. Swanstrom couldn''t understand how his mother could look at such a person. Swanstrom''s heart was already cold, and thest vestiges of affection he had for Morgan were gone. However, she did not reveal the slightest emotion on her face, revealing a thoughtful smile, nodding her head good-naturedly and saying, "I can''t decide, so whatever you say, dad, my sister is still young, I won''t me her, I''ll pretend nothing happened and continue to be good sisters with her. I just hope that my sister will not be upset about this." "Don''t worry, I will also make her forget about it, this matter, no one will mention it again, and you will be able to live in harmony." "Will do." Swanstrom curled his lips up into a smile, revealing shallow dimples on either cheek. Anyone who looks at it will feel that she is simple and understanding. Morgan was relieved and then genuinely happy. This daughter of his is not only beautiful, but also does not hold grudges and listens to him very well. This daughter is more well behaved than he thought, well behaved is good, the best control ...... "It''s gettingte, you must be in shock, go home early and get some rest, let me know if you need anything, I''ll meet you if I can." Morgan was in a good mood, and he was extraordinarily generous, giving Swanstrom another card. "There is another million in this card, plus the one I gave you, the two million you can spend as you like. Come to me when you''ve spent it, you can''t live on as little as you did in the country now, you have to behave like a daughter of the Gardner family, tomorrow I''ll have Tom take you to buy clothes." "Thank you Daddy, you are so nice!" Morgan''s vanity was so satisfied that the displeasure of Maddison''s trouble was swept away, and he went upstairs humming his brother. Swanstrom came back to the room, and the knowing, good-natured smile on his face instantly disappeared. Maddison is stupid, but she has a Taylor to protect her, and she has nothing. She has only herself. Swanstrom''s palms slowly clenched as hey somewhat helplessly on the bed, his eyes staring nkly at the ceiling. Maybe there''s nothing wrong with being alone ...... Besides, she wasn''t just alone. Her mom and dad abroad were very good to her and her brother, who relied on her a lot. Her brother must have missed her so much during her absence. Only, in order to keep them out of this fog, she has to cut off contact with them for the time being. But when he thought of his brother, the corners of Swanstrom''s mouth unconsciously curved up in a gentle curve. Just then, her cell phone rang. Swanstrom picked up and it was a friend of hers from M. "SAN, how are you doing?" The other person had a pure cockney. "I''m fine, Vincent. in fact I just got back home to the country and had a little incident, but it''s resolved. What''s the matter with you calling me?" Swanstrom open mouth, also has a mouthful of pure cockney. The other party was a bit embarrassed and said, "You know, I''m doing an Ind project, but the expenses at the end of the project are very big, and I have some problems with my capital chain, so I want to ask if you can lend me some money or simply take this money into the stock?" Swanstrom : "I''m also very impressed with your Ind project, so here''s the deal, how much do you need, I''d be happy to be one of you." "That''s great! I need a billion dors on my side, is that convenient for you?" "No problem." Swanstrom agreed in one fell swoop. Swanstrom hung up the phone and contacted his personal financial steward abroad. She transferred one billion dors to Vincent''s ount through theputer and asked herwyer to sign a contract with the other party to enter the shares. When she was done, she nced at the two bank cards Morgan had given her, smiled mockingly, and deleted all traces of the operation from herputer. The other side. Taylor took Maddison back to her room and finally broke into a tirade that she couldn''t stand. "You stupid bastard! I''ve told you many times not to take any action until you haveplete information about Swanstrom, why don''t you listen?" Maddison sobbed with tears of anguish, "I didn''t think it would turn out like this ...... but, Mom, you have to believe me, that snake must have been put there by Swanstrom to bite me! I told Tia to put the snake in her room." "Of course I know that!" Taylor hates irony. Maddison froze and inquired in disbelief, "Then why don''t you help me exin when you know the truth?" That Swanstrom woman, she''s no good either! Taylor sighed and said, "I''ve taught you so much, but you still haven''t learned what it means to look at All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. faces and do things. Your father obviously trusts her now, moreover, the snake was also put in her room by you first, at this time to exin, saying anything is useless, only to make your father more angry!" "What about me? I can''t just be ndered like that! Did you notice the looks in the servants'' eyes? Everyone in the manor now thinks I deserve it." Taylor stared for a moment and said, "It seems Swanstrom is moreplicated and elusive than I thought, I will find out what she is as soon as possible. In the meantime, you must get along with her, even if you have to pretend that you know what''s wrong and are willing to be good sisters with her. This way your father will be happy. You know, he hates backyard fires, as well as people who don''t listen to him." "But ...... I''m all locked up now and not going out at all." Taylor reminded, "Silly boy, did you forget? In a week, you''re going to get your certificate. Bear with it for a week, and then you''ll make a big ssh at the ceremony and it''ll be over." "Good! I''ll practice this week and make sure I blow everyone''s mind at the ceremony!" "It''sforting to mom that you think that way ......" Five days have passed. Chapter 15 Making a Splash Chapter 15 Making a Ssh Neither Maddison nor Taylor made any move, and Taylor didn''t mention anything to Morgan about letting Maddison out, even taking care of Swanstrom, which made Morgan feel better. The snake incident was also banned from discussion by order, and the estate acted as if nothing had really happened. After five days in the study, Morgan went back to sleep with Taylor in the bedroom. On the sixth day, Morgan looked at Taylor''s eyes again, tender and affectionate, anyone can guess what happenedst night. That very day at dinner time, Taylor gave Swanstrom a piece of chicken leg. Swanstrom smiled sweetly and thanked, "Thank you Auntie Taylor." "Now it''s time to change your name to mommy." Taylor said, "I''ll take care of you like your mommy, son. Just like Maddy, she''s not my own either, but I take care of her as if she were my own. From now on, you can talk to me if you need anything." All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Swanstrom''s heart sneered, not biological? She wouldn''t believe it even if she were six years old now. Maddison is only a few months younger than her, which means that Morgan cheated on Taylor while her mother was pregnant. Morgan will not leak this kind of scandal, naturally. But Taylor suddenly said so, there must be some n. Want her to call Taylor "Mom"? She has only two mothers, one biological and one adoptive, and no one else deserves it. Swanstrom with a look of help to Morgan : "Dad, I''m ...... still a little hard to change my mind." With tears in her eyes, she pandered to him. Sure enough, Morgan''s heart melted at the sight of her. Even though he is Swanstrom''s father, no man can resist such a look. He said with a dry cough, "It''s okay, there''s plenty of timeter, slowly change your mouth, there''s no rush this day or two." "Thanks Dad. I''m sorry, Auntie Taylor , I still have to get used to it." Swanstrom said to Taylor apologetically. Taylor''s heart is dying, this dead girl, not even willing to call her mother! But Taylor is much more calm than Maddison, she said with a smile, "This kind of thing is a bit difficult for you, I was too anxious, no need to apologize to me, it is I who should apologize to you. When you feelfortable with it, it''s not toote for you to change your mind, after all, we are going to be a family for life." "Thank you Auntie Taylor ." "Where words." Both are smiling softly, the atmosphere looks happy on the surface. Morgan looked at the harmony of the table, and the fatigue of work was gone. Or the old saying, do not make any more trouble, he will have nothing to worry about. But Morgan was just thinking that when Taylor said, "Honey, there''s something I haven''t told you, and it''s about Maddy." When he heard Maddison''s name, Morgan''s good mood was gone again, and he directly pped his chopsticks and said angrily: "Are you going to help that dead girl? She made such a big mistake, I''m already doing her a favor by locking her up for a month! Don''t even think about speaking up for her!" Swanstrom looked at Taylor with some suspicion. Taylor didn''t seem like someone who would say something like that at a time like this, she was good at reading faces and must have known better than to put in a good word for Maddison during this time. What is Taylor selling? Taylor showed a very difficult look and said, "Honey, I''m not trying to plead for her, there''s just something that I don''t know if I should tell you." Morgan''s face improved a little when she heard that Taylor wasn''t asking for Maddison, but her voice remained cold as she asked, "What is it?" Taylor sighed, fished out a piece of paper from her pocket and said, "Actually, here''s the thing, I just received a notification letter today, and it says that Maddy got the championship of Ladies Coffee Contest held by Royal College of Coffee." "What?!" Morgan knew this, and once he won the title, he had the endorsement of Deep Night Cafe, the world''s leading coffee chain! He happily looked at the announcement letter in Taylor''s hand, and his eyes lit up when he saw that Khalid was among the presenters. Those were greedy eyes. His hand trembled a bit as he held the notification letter: "Why didn''t you tell me earlier about such a big happy event? The ceremony is tomorrow afternoon!" Taylor looked like she med herself and said, "It''s not because Maddy did something wrong because of a moment of absurdity? When I told her about it today, she even said she didn''t want to go to the ceremony and wanted to reflect properly at home." "How can this be?!" Morgan blurted out. How can you not go when you have the rare opportunity to show your face in front of the top powerful people? Isn''t that silly? But he seemed to be seen through when he touched Swanstrom''s innocent, unspoken gaze. He coughed a little awkwardly and said, "If Maddy can say that, it means she has realized her mistake. Now that she knows the mistake, it doesn''t matter how long she is locked up. swann, what do you think?" Swanstrom''s heart sneered, this is her own father! What a great dad! However, Swanstrom never reveal their true feelings, she smiled gently, kindly said: "Dad, in fact, I have long wanted to say, always locked up sister is not a matter, or early to release her it. After all, she is not young, after a mistake, right and wrong must be clear. If she does it again next time, it''s not too Taylor, who was sitting across the table, heard this and hated it with a gnash of her gums. Swanstrom said so, next time if Maddison makes a mistake, Morgan will not forgive her easily! Sure enough, Morgan frowned and said, "That''s right, there''s no next time, Taylor, and you tell her that next time, she''s out of here!" Taylor, who hated her with a passion, had to say, "I''ll talk to her and she knows she''s wrong. swann, thank you for forgiving her." Swanstrom smiles: "After all, we''re family, and family is all about tolerance, even if she tried to get me killed." Taylor''s smile faltered, and unable to pretend any longer, she stood up and said, "Then I''ll go pack for tomorrow''s trip to Magh City." After she finished, she stood up to go upstairs, but halfway thought of her n, she stopped again and said, "Honey, tomorrow happens to be a weekend, you don''t have to go to the office, why don''t we go together? Take Swann with you?" Morgan remembered Swanstrom''s rtionship with Khalid and nodded without hesitation, "Of course! You pack Swann''s bags, too, and get her some clothes for Magh City." "Okay, honey." Taylor finally pulled out a smile. When the timees, Swanstrom will be waiting for her daughter to make a ssh! Chapter 16 A chance encounter Chapter 16 A chance encounter Once Taylor left, Morgan couldn''t help but ask Swanstrom, "Swann, Dad asked you, how did you and Mr. Spencer meet? Are you close to each other?" Morgan had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but was afraid Swanstrom would think he was trying to use her, so she kept it to herself. But now it seems that the boy is incredibly naive and how he doesn''t think he''s a bad father. So if he wants to know something, just ask. As he expected, Swanstrom replied without question: "I don''t know Mr. Spencer, but I was on my way back when I ran into a shipwreck and ran into Mr. Spencer, who was wounded at the time, so I got some herbs to help him with his wounds. Then his men came up and brought me back along the way." Swanstrom simply talks about treating the wound, not saying that he actually saved Khalid''s life. Morgan was disappointed and happy to hear this. Disappointed that Swanstrom was not, as he thought, emotionally involved with Khalid. The happy thing is that Swanstrom helped Khalid, so Mr. Spencer owes his family a favor! The Spencers love it! That''s worth more than the most expensive gems! "Good! Very good! Swann, you are worthy of my daughter!" Morgan looks at Swanstrom as if he were looking at a precious gem. Swanstrom, looking clueless, smiles at Morgan and looks down at his meal. The next day, a group of four people left Flowarhard Cidy for Magh City. On the way, Swanstrom and Maddison sat together in the back seat. Maddison was wearing the uniform of Royal College of Coffee and her face was perfectly made up, just like a nobledy. In contrast, Taylor''s outfit for Swanstrom was much more ordinary, and no one was responsible for her makeup, so Swanstrom was nowpletely in, with a simple pillow on her head, like a high school student. But even so, her impable features still make people can not move their eyes, the whole person looks clear and clean, like a blooming lily, so people can not bear to pick, only dare to look away. The real beauty is not for men to want to have, but for guys to first examine whether they can match. Maddison originally thought her makeup was perfect, but when she saw Swanstrom, she felt like a green leaf, designed toplement Swanstrom. Maddison was so angry that both hands clenched tightly into fists, nails almost stole into the flesh. "Ahem!" Taylor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, coughed twice. Maddison snapped out of her exasperation like a dream. What is the use of Swanstrom''s beauty? She is a vase with only ornamental functions, but she is the real virtuous and talented woman that all noble men want to marry. Maddison try to calm down, squeeze out a smile to Swanstrom said: "sister, I have not had the opportunity to apologize to you, now finally have the opportunity to ...... sorry, sister, I should not y childish temper, make that kind of thing, I hope you forgive me. " Swanstrom guessed that Taylor must have taught Maddison to say that. A child''s temper? But there are no children who want to kill when they get angry. But Swanstrom still put on a considerate face, tenderly took Maddison''s hand and said, "Good sister, you don''t have to say anymore, that incident is over, we are family, apologizing is out of ce." Maddison''s hand was firmly held by Swanstrom, and it was not easy to shake it off, but it was disgusting to do so. She could only hold back her displeasure and stiffly pull her lips into a smile. Morgan is very pleased with the reconciliation of her two daughters. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. To get from Flowarhard Cidy to Magh City, you need to fly, and the tickets Morgan bought were all in economy ss. Priority boarding in first ss is given ording to regtions. Swanstrom walks at the end, following Morgan forward. As he was preparing to board the ne, Morgan suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked in one direction, and spoke with surprise: "Mr. Spencer?" Maddison also did not expect to meet Khalid at the airport, the whole person immediately face shy, and deliberately cough twice, hoping that Khalid''s attention will fall on her. Khalid was listening to his assistant''s report on the progress of the project, when he was interrupted, he looked over at Morgan with an unhappy frown. The look of displeasure and confusion in Khalid''s eyes when he saw Morgan and Maddison, who had pushed her way to the front, was a look that asked, "Who are you?" Morgan rubbed his nose a little awkwardly, not realizing that Khalid hadn''t recognized him. Maddison is even more anxious. How many times has Khalid not recognized her? Does he have such a bad memory? In fact, Khalid has an excellent memory, but he only remembers people and things that are worth remembering. He does not waste any brain power or time on those who do not matter. As for Swanstrom, she also saw Khalid, but had no intention of greeting him. There is no need to disturb each other when we just meet in person. Morgan saw that Swanstrom, a stupid girl, did not take the opportunity to say hello, he had to introduce himself: "I am Morgan, Mr. Spencer, you just came to my daughter''s birthday party a few days ago." Khalid pondered in his head that he had been to four birthday parties this week, and for a while he couldn''t ce the people against their identities. Morgan saw that Khalid still did not remember, and anxiously pushed away Maddison, who hade to the front, and pulled Swanstrom, who was standing at the end, and said, "Mr. Spencer, you do not remember me, but do you remember my daughter?" Just now Swanstrom was intentionally or unintentionally hidden by Taylor, and only then did Khalid see Swanstrom. She was dressed as an ordinary student,pletely different from the other three members of the family, as if she came from a different ss. Khalid''s eyebrows raised slightly to test Swanstrom''s reaction and spoke, "Excuse me, I have a poor memory, Miss, may I ask who you are?" Swanstrom was a little surprised that Khalid didn''t even remember her? But Swanstrom was only surprised for a moment, and then there were no more ripples in his heart. She said calmly, "It''s normal for Mr. Spencer not to remember me, so we''ll leave you alone, Dad, let''s go." When Swanstrom said that, Morgan couldn''t stay any longer and headed for the boarding gate in a gloomy mood. What the hell! His eldest daughter is so stupid in attracting men that she is useless! The more Morgan thinks about it, the more annoyed he gets, and the faster he walks. Taylor and Maddison were happy to see Morgan like this. Now Morgan won''t still hold Swanstrom as a treasure, right? Taylor followed Morgan forward. But Maddison''s tail is up again because she''s in such a good mood. She couldn''t help but walk and whisper to Swanstrom, "Oh, my good sister, I thought your rtionship with Mr. Spencer was extraordinary, but I didn''t realize he didn''t remember you at all. Don''t be sad, as you said, Mr. Spencer is too forgetful to remember you from the countryside, it is normal." Maddison deliberately emphasizes the word "country", expecting to see a look like exasperation on Swanstrom''s face. Swanstrom gets angry and she gets happy! Chapter 17 She Becomes an Outsider Chapter 17 She Bes an Outsider However, the expression on Swanstrom''s face was always light, as if he didn''t care at all. In fact, she really doesn''t care either. The Gardners wanted to climb into the Spencer family, and she didn''t want to, and she didn''t need to. So it doesn''t matter if Khalid remembers her or not. Maddison saw that Swanstrom did not react at all and sneered. Pretend! Swanstrom, just pretend! Her heart must be dripping with blood already. Serves you right! Khalid would not have been able to look at a vige girl from the countryside! But none of the four noticed that Khalid stared at Swanstrom''s back for a while, the light under his eyes bing deep and unpredictable. After Swanstrom boarded the ne, Khalid withdrew his eyes and gave a low, amusedugh. The assistant who saw Khalid smile next to him was beyond shocked. What is the situation? Mr. Spencer, who is usually unsmiling and even very cold, actually smiled? And he was very sure that it was not a sneer, but a smile from the heart. How long had it been since he''d seen Khalid smile like that? The assistant was in shock when Khalid suddenly asked him, "Did you feel that she waspletely different from their family?" Who of the four does "she" refer to? The assistant has been following Khalid for a few years now, so naturally he didn''t ask the question directly. He thought about it in his head and decided that only Swanstrom''s outfit was different from the other three. He hesitantly opened his mouth and said, "It is indeed different, the other three are wearing big brand clothes, but thatdy ...... she is wearing is not a brand at all, like a random one bought on the roadside." However - Khalid shook his head. The assistant watched Khalid shake his head and was horrified, thinking he had guessed wrong, and that Khalid was not talking about the girl? Just as the assistant''s heart was overwhelmed with panic, Khalid said in a low voice, "I''m not talking about the dress." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she hadn''t guessed the wrong person. He asked in disbelief, "If it''s not wearing, then what is it?" Khalid''s face returned to cold: "Nothing, go on." The assistant immediately dared not ask more questions and continued to report on his work. On the ne. Four people sitting in the same row, Morgan sat down on Swanstrom is not good face, constantly directing Swanstrom to put the luggage, organize the jacket, take the charger ...... To an outsider, she looks like a nanny for their family of three. Yet Swanstrom has done a whole lot of things withoutining, and has always been willing to work. In the end, it was Morgan who couldn''t help herself and said, "Don''t be busy,e here." When Swanstrom sat down next to Morgan, Morgan began by asking, "Didn''t you say you helped Mr. Spencer? Why doesn''t he remember you at all?" Swanstrom shook his head: "I just did Mr. Spencer a small favor, it''s normal that he doesn''t remember me." "Then you should ...... also," Morgan said, looking at Swanstrom''s expression, thinking that too much innocence is not a good thing. If it were Maddison, she would have understood him and gotten closer to Khalid. He sighed and said, "Forget it, let''s talk about itter. You have a lot to learn in the future!" "Yes." Swanstrom nodded good-naturedly, with an expression of not really knowing what he had done wrong. Just then, the flight attendant came over and said, "Hello Mr. Gardner, based on your mileage, we can upgrade you and your family to first ss for free." Morgan chose economy ss this time not only because of stingy, but also because he knew he could get a free upgrade this time. Morgan smiled and stood up and said, "Thank you, please take us there." Maddison and Taylor immediately followed and stood up. The flight attendant''s eyes fell on Swanstrom, who stood upst, and said apologetically, "Excuse me, there are only three free upgrades avable, what do you think?" "Three?" Morgan was in a quandary, so should Maddison fly first ss, or should Swanstrom ? Taylor saw Morgan''s tangle and said, "You must have noticed that Swanstrom is a bit stupid and can''t help at all. And this is Maddy''s award ceremony, why don''t you give your ce to Maddy?" Morgan stares for a moment and agrees. He exined to Swanstrom, "There were only three spots avable and I really didn''t have a choice, but we could have met up as soon as we got off the ne and it would have been the same." Swanstrom gave Morgan a long look. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but she could not show it and let Taylor and Maddison have their way. Swanstrom pulled his lips into a smile and said, "It''s okay." "I''m sorry." Morgan said, leading Taylor and Maddison to get up and head for first ss. Maddison said to Swanstrom in a lowered voice, "Sister, it seems that Dad still loves me more, so you have to do your best in the future. I''m going to first ss, you can rest in economy ss, first ss is not a big deal, just a little wider seat and better service, don''t be sad." Swanstrom looked at Maddison as if she were looking at a bouncing grasshopper. She smiled down and said with her eyes arched, "Sister, go on, if you keep dawdling, what if Dad changes his mind and lets me go over there?" Maddison looked at Swanstrom''s eyes, which were brighter than Kira''s, and panicked. Not daring to waste any more time, she hurriedly grabbed her handbag and headed for first ss, fearing that her seat would be taken by Swanstrom. The three men and their party went to the first ss cabin and sat downfortably, and Maddison ordered aplimentary ss of wine. ...... In economy ss. As soon as Morgan and his group left, Swanstrom closed his eyes. She is also a person, she will also be sad, just, she dare not show her sadness, she also can not show any vulnerability. She had to lie to herself. But it didn''t take long for her rity to be shattered. "Excuse me ...... thisdy, are you alone? May I sit next to you?" The svelte-looking man looked at her with a stunned expression, seemingly courteous and inquisitive, but in reality his throat rolled - he was gagging. Swanstrom said with a cold face, "It''s not convenient, my family has toe back." The man regrets to leave, such a woman, indeed, not he can get soaked. I wonder what kind of man can conquer such a superb product. Shortly after the man left, another person came forward: "Thisdy ......" Swanstrom looked up with some impatience, and the next moment, she looked at the visitor with dismay. Isn''t this the same person who reported to Khalid at the airport? The other party introduced himself, "I am Mr. Spencer''s assistant, and Mr. Spencer invites you to his private ne. I have already talked to the flight attendant, you cane with me now." Swanstrom hesitated and quickly nodded. There were too many people on the ne, and a hitchhiker had juste along, and she didn''t want to be disturbed. "Good." "Then I will take you there now." The man said, making a "please" gesture. Getting off the ne requires passing through first ss. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Maddison was the first to notice when Swanstrom walked past. Chapter 18 His Approach Chapter 18 His Approach She got up and said, "Sister, what''s wrong with you? Can''t you stand hardship that much? Do you have topete with me for first ss? Don''t forget what we are going to do this time, it''s for my award ceremony!" Swanstrom said indifferently, "Don''t worry, I won''t fight you for first ss." Maddison frowned and asked, "So what are you doing over here?" Morgan was also upset and asked, "Swanstrom , what do you want? I thought you were a well- behaved girl, but isn''t that what you are?" Swanstrom was about to speak when the man next to him spoke up, "You all misunderstood, Miss Brooks is not here to fly first ss. I''m here to take Miss Brooks to a private jet. Here, it''s the one next to her." "What?!" Maddison looked out the window in disbelief. Just saw an incredibly luxurious private jet parked next to it, with the word "Khalid" written on the fusge. That''s the Spencer family''s private jet! Maddison snapped her head around to look at Swanstrom , and the jealousy in her eyes was almost overflowing. Taylor''s expression was not too calm, and both hands were clenched into fists. Only Morgan, after a brief moment of dismay, then said to the man beside Swanstrom, "This gentleman, I''m Swann''s father, we''re family, can wee over together?" The man said expressionlessly, "Sorry, the chairman invited only Miss Brooks. Moreover, all three of you did the upgrade, and Miss Brooks was the only one sitting in economy ss, is this a family practice?" Morgan''s face blushed and her heart was filled with regret. If he and Swanstrom had gotten an upgrade, wouldn''t he now be in Khalid''s private jet? Not caring what Morgan was thinking, the man turned to Swanstrom and said respectfully, "Miss Brooks, please." Swanstrom nodded and said to Morgan, "I''ll meet you when we get off the ne. After she finished, she held her head up without looking at Maddison at all and followed the man off the ne. In Maddison and Taylor two jealous and envious eyes on the next luxury private jet. As soon as Swanstrom got on the ne, he saw Khalid, who was looking down at his contract. The man beside him alerted Khalid, "Mr. Spencer, Miss Brooks ising over." Khalid said "hmm" lightly, without raising his eyelids. Swanstrom was not only a little ufortable. The man behind him said, "Mr. Spencer is busy, you can sit inside." "Good." Swanstrom nodded and walked past Khalid and into one of the inside cabins. As soon as Swanstrom entered, he immediately spoke with surprise, "Evans?" The blond man looked up and subconsciously shouted with the same surprise: "San? Have you returned to your country?" "Yes, just got back not long ago." Evans gestured to the seat next to him, "Sit next to me." After Swanstrom sat down, Evans excitedly asked about Swanstrom''s recent history, and then offered an invitation: "I''m going to Magh City to attend the Royal College of Coffee''s award ceremony. If you have time, would you mind attending the ceremony?" Evans is the principal of Royal College of Coffee and a top barista in the world. She worked with Evans to n the establishment of Royal College of Coffee. Their original intention was for all those who love to make coffee to find a ce where they can learn and further their education. Little did I know that it would develop into a great ce for celebrities to package themselves, so Evans set up a senior barista certificate with only ten spots reserved for those with real talent and ability. Swanstrom heard that Evans was going to give Maddison exactly the same license, the corner of his lips hooked: "What a coincidence, I happen to be going there ......" When Evans heard that Swanstrom was going too, he immediately said happily, "That''s great! The trainees will be so happy to know they get to meet the founder!" "No." Swanstrom shook his head and said, "In fact, what I''m trying to say is that I hope you''ll keep my identity a secret for me." Evans asked in disbelief, "Why?" "I have a little personal reason of my own." "Well, then, I''m already happy to have you there." Swanstrom smiled lightly and didn''t say much. ...... After a two-hour flight, the ne arrived at Magh City Airport. Khalid was no longer there when Swanstrom got off the ne. She said goodbye to Evans and went to find Morgan and the others. The four originally said they would meet up when they got off the ne, but by the time she arrived at the airport lobby, there was no sign of Morgan and the others. Swanstrom waited quietly in ce, not to be left behind when Morgan still had use for her. Just then, a line of bodyguards in ck suits escorted a man this way. It''s Khalid! Even surrounded by tall bodyguards, Khalid''s height still stands out. Pedestrians passing by had a stunning look on their faces when they saw Khalid and excitedly discussed Khalid''s looks. "So handsome, is he a star?" "It can''t be a star, right? If it is a star, he has long been on fire all over the entertainment industry, what is the matter with the current flow of youngsters?" Swanstrom''s reaction was incredibly mutedpared to the excitement of the passersby. She only nced at it and then withdrew her eyes and looked down to call Morgan''s number. Only the call was rejected as soon as it was dialed. No need to guess, it must be Maddison''s doing. Taylor is bad, but not so stupid as to make this kind of small scheme that can be seen at a nce. Didn''t Maddison just want her to wait and get pissed off? Then she''ll just wait slowly. Swanstrom saw a pantry just a short distance away and walked over to it with a ss of water in his hand. But what Swanstrom didn''t expect was that as soon as she walked into the pantry, she heard the pantry door m shut before she could even start to get a drink. Swanstrom subconsciously turned around, but just as she did, her entire body was pinned against the wall by the tall man''s torso. Swanstrom was about to give his opponent an over-the-shoulder m, but his eyes stopped when he saw the man''s face. "Mr. Spencer?" she asked, blinking twice in dismay and surprise, "How do you ...... you ...... " "Why do you pretend you don''t know me?" Before Swanstrom could say anything, Khalid spoke up and interrupted her. Swanstrom looked uprehendingly into Khalid''s eyes, the eyes of a vicious lion, and at that moment, the king of the forest was clearly enraged. Does Khalid mean that he was angry because he passed in front of him and he didn''t greet him? So, he actually recognized himself, then why did he pretend not to know her at the airport and ignore her on the ne? Swanstrom said, amused and speechless, "You pretended not to know me first, and Mr. Spencer is so busy, how dare I bother you again?" Swanstrom is really not sure what Khalid is thinking. Now that he remembers her, he pretends not to know her. Pretend not to know her, right? Then keep pretending, why suddenly put her against the wall again and N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. question her why she pretended not to know her? Chapter 19 You let go of me ...... Chapter 19 You let go of me ...... Swanstrom nudged Khalid : "Anyway ...... you let me go first, it''s not good for people to see." Khalid, however, as if he had not heard her words, only lowered his eyes to examine her eyes seriously. There was no fear or ttery in those eyes, there was only a piece of doubt, and she treated him as if he were an ordinary person. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Ordinary people like ...... How long had it been since he had been treated like that? "You''re angry? Because I didn''t recognize you at the airport?" Swanstrom bristled, "I''m not mad." Why should she be angry? Khalid was silent when he got this answer. He couldn''t say what he was feeling at the moment. Khalid stared for a while, then suddenly let go of her, stepped back and asked, "What are you doing in Magh City? To follow me? Because I haven''t given you an answer?" "Stalking you? I don''t have that much free time ...... to stalk you, I do a lot of things. Also, do I have any answers you need to give me?" Swanstrom''s eyes rounded as he wrapped his arms around himself and asked, "You don''t remember my joke the other day, do you?" "As I said, the joke hides sincerity, I''m still thinking about it, so don''t rush." "Huh?" Swanstrom cocked his head in amusement and said, "Are you too dumb to hear that I''m just saying that off the top of my head?" Khalid''s face was expressionless: "I should say that to you." "What the hell are you talking about ......" Just then, Swanstrom''s cell phone rang. She pressed the answer button and it was Morgan''s voice: "Swanstrom, where the hell have you been? I made your sister wait for you for so long!" Wait? She didn''t see Maddison''s ghost. Swanstrom changed his voice to a resigned one and said, "I''m a little disoriented on my first ne ride ...... I''m sorry, Dad. Where are you guys? I''ming to get you guys." "You go to the airport staff, we''re over here at the information desk." "Got it, Dad, I''ll be right over." Swanstrom hangs up the phone, his original look of a young daughter-in- She waved her phone at Khalid: "My dad''s looking for me, so I''m going to go. And, for thest time, I was really kidding about that! You don''t need to think about it!" Swanstrom said, lifting his feet and heading out. However, she had just taken two steps when she heard Khalid''s questioning voice from behind her, "What is your rtionship with your family?" Swanstrom didn''t understand his question and twisted his head around to say, "Family is family rtions." Khalid said without expression, "But I don''t think they treat you like family." "How so?" "The assistants all told me that after boarding, you were the only one who didn''t fly first ss." "So that''s it ......," Swanstromughed, "I have a bit of aplicated rtionship with my family, I got lost ten years ago and I just found my way home now. And first ss or not first ss or whatever, I don''t care." Khalid opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to say something, but finally he handed out a hot gold card and said, "If you need anything, you can call me. Or, take this card and meet me at the Spencer Group." "No ......" Swanstrom waved her hand to decline, but Khalid forcefully shoved the card into her hand and left the pantry without looking back. Swanstrom took a look at the hot gold business card, which read "President of Spencer Group". Is this ...... showing off? Swanstrom''s foreign-ownedpany is not asrge as the Spencer Group, but it has a good reputation. She raised her hand to throw the card away, but it retracted halfway. Like Khalid said, what if she really needed his help? After all, Flowarhard Cidy is not yet her territory. With that in mind, Swanstrom put his business card in his pocket and walked out of the pantry with his feet up. By the time she reached the information desk, Morgan''s expression was already bordering on anger, obviously tired of waiting for her. Morgan opened his mouth and said, "Don''t dy your sister''s ceremony because of you, you can''t afford the consequences!" Swanstrom, look at your sister, she''s crying because she can''t wait for you at the exit." Swanstrom looked over to Maddison and sure enough saw Maddison''s eyes red and teary, sobbing, "It''s okay ...... sister, it''s good to have you back." Swanstrom moved his eyes down and saw the pinched red marks on Maddison''s thighs under her skirt. Her sister really did a number on herself to get her scolded by Morgan! Maddison felt Swanstrom''s eyes and subconsciously used her hands to cover her thighs. Swanstrom looked away as if she hadn''t noticed anything. Instead of defending herself, she said to Morgan with a look of remorse, "I''m sorry dad, I made you guys worry, I''ll make sure to sit with you guys in the future so that this doesn''t happen again." When Swanstrom said that, Morgan remembered that the family had been upgraded to first ss and Swanstrom was alone in economy ss. "Ahem ......" he coughed dryly, a bit angry, and said instead, "Forget it, let''s go, we''ll be reallyte if we don''t leave." "Uh-huh." Swanstrom, with his eyes downcast, looked extraordinarily docile and well-behaved, and offered to help Taylor with their luggage. Morgan''s anger soon subsided. But after this incident, he also realized that his oldest daughter, who was found, was indeed a bit of a step up. Perhaps, he should still focus on Maddison. Soon Maddison was back in favor and Morgan booked a hotel near the ceremony and gave Maddison the only suite she had booked. Maddison was overjoyed in her room and said to Taylor, "Mom, is this a good n for me?" Taylor''s face was not much better, frowning and saying, "I told you not to act privately without my knowledge!" Maddison saw Taylor getting a little angry and took Taylor''s hand to pamper her: "Mom, don''t be angry. ...... Didn''t it turn out well?" Taylor remembered that Morgan had put Swanstrom in the cheapest standard room in the hotel, blushed a little better, and nudged Maddison''s nose with her index finger: "You spooky girl, next time say hello to me no matter what you do." "Don''t worry, Mom, and I don''t think Swanstrom is as tough as you make him out to be. It''s not? She must be suffocating by now!" Taylor, however, fell silent. Anyone who was set up like that by Maddison would have to sue, but Swanstrom didn''t say anything, just admitted his mistake and tried to please in every way possible, which means - Swanstrom is a man who can hold his own. The moreposed the person is, the more frightening it is to fight back, often. "Baby, listen." Taylor said solemnly, "I''ve been thinking about it, and today you just need to be a good girl and collect your prize and not say anything. It''s not toote to find out when we get to know her "Got it, Mom." Maddison agreed meekly with her mouth, but not with her heart. Chapter 20 Pretending to be a sheep Chapter 20 Pretending to be a sheep Swanstrom''s room. Swanstrom looked at the simply furnished hotel room without any displeasure in his heart. It doesn''t matter if she loses Morgan''s temporary favor, her arrival has already stirred up the family, and when the family starts to go haywire, she''ll be able to find the truth she wants! The ceremony started in half an hour. Before leaving the room, Swanstrom went to the mirror and reshuffled his hair, which was a bit messy. The girl in the mirror looks sweet, yful, and well-behaved as hell. But only she knows that it is only her mask. The big wolf pretending to be amb can bite people faster, more urate and harder, so that the enemy has no power to fight. The ceremony venue was decorated in a grand atmosphere, with coffee tastings from various coffee bean sponsors ced everywhere, and a strong coffee aroma spread throughout the venue. Maddison stepped into the meeting and took a cup of coffee and put it in front of her nose and smelled it, then she turned her head to Morgan and said: "This coffee is not bad, the aroma is very mellow, look at the size of the coffee beans, the origin of the coffee beans should be ...... from Colombia. " The sponsor next to me happened to hear it and came over appreciatively and said, "Thedy has a good eye, our coffee beans originate from Colombia." The sponsor wasplimenting Maddison, and Morgan was overjoyed to hear it and looked at Maddison with pride. Maddison was basking in her pride when she looked up and saw her sponsor looking at Swanstrom with a stunned look on his face, as if he had been frozen in ce. Maddison has no doubt that the sponsors will be drooling if they read any further. She was annoyed and jealous. Swanstrom is the same age as her, just in her early twenties, and is actually still a young girl, not yet faded from the young girl''s tender. In a few years, Swanstrom will have grown up and be a great sess. When the timees, she is afraid that she is not even qualified to be an insignificant person by her side. The more Maddison thought about it, the more she hated it and wanted Swanstrom to disappear immediately. This vige girl, who should not have appeared in the first ce, appeared to mess up her life! Maddison took two steps directly to the left, blocking the sponsor''s view, and casually picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Swanstrom, with bad intentions slightly under his eyes. Maddison forced the coffee in her hand to Swanstrom and said, "Sister, you should try their coffee too, I think it''s pretty good." Swanstrom Before he could say anything, Maddison suddenly covered her mouth again, looking like she had just thought of it, and said, "I forgot ...... sister you''ve been staying in the country, you must not have had coffee, right?" When the sponsor behind him heard this, the brightness when he looked at Swanstrom dimmed a few points. He hade to find his spokesperson, and just now he thought Swanstrom''s image was very good. And didn''t think the girl had even had coffee? And also from the countryside ...... Such a girl, even if she is beautiful, is not suitable to be their image spokesperson, if theizens know, this spokesperson will only bring them negative impact. Can''t have it! Swanstrom didn''t care about Maddison''s words, she just wanted to taste them. So she ended up tasting the coffee and then frowned, "It''s too bitter." This coffee smells good, but the taste in the mouth is too bitter, in addition to bitter, but no aftertaste of mellow, the quality is not as good as Maddison said. Maddison took the coffee directly back from Swanstrom''s hand, only to assume that Swanstrom was ignorant of coffee. A vige girl from the countryside, how do you know about coffee? Satisfied with Swanstrom''s response, Maddison turned to her sponsor and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, sir, it''s not your coffee that''s bad, it''s my sister who''s not used to coffee." The sponsor''s mind was reinforced by the fact that Swanstrom could not be considered. This is aplete ignorance of coffee! He renewed his smile to Maddison and said, "It''s okay, it''s normal to not be used to coffee. Then I won''t bother a few of you, I''ll leave first." The sponsor gives Maddison a nod and turns to leave. Morgan looks at the sponsor''s back thoughtfully. His second daughter is, indeed, far superior to his eldest daughter. Taylor, fearing Morgan''s anger, purposely chided, "Maddy, you too, how could you give your sister coffee in front of so many people?" Maddison looked aggrieved: "I forgot for a while ......" Morgan waved her hand and said, "Children are forgetful. It''s a disgrace to me!" Swanstrom lowered his eyes and apologized with a low brow, "I''m sorry, Dad, you don''t have to be mad ......" "Forget it!" Morgan impatiently looked away and instructed Maddison, "It''s almost time, go backstage and get ready, Dad and Mom are waiting for you in the audience to receive your award." "Okay, Dad." Maddison smiled sweetly, waved at Taylor, and headed backstage with her credentials in hand. Swanstrom followed Morgan and Taylor toward the audience. I don''t know if it was intentional or not, but she was left far behind by Morgan, like she was avoiding something dirty, as if she didn''te with her. This, is her father, the good father who can leave her at any time if she has no use for him! Swanstrom''s eyes slipped through a sharp cold aura and deste loneliness, but only for a moment, she was well hidden under the eyes of the emotions, softly followed Morgan. The ceremony started soon after they were seated. More people showed up today than at the usual ceremony because, of course, this year''s guest of honor, an additional Khalid . Many people fought for a spot in the ceremony just to have a chance to show their face in front of Khalid. Finally, as the host''s introductory remarks ended, the guests came out. The first person to appear on is one of the founders of Royal College of Coffee, the second is a famous coffee master in the industry, and the third is Evans who met Swanstrom by chance on the ne. Thest guest - "Finally, let''s wee the President of Spencer Group, Khalid!" As soon as Khalid''s name appeared, there was a huge round of apuse. It can be said that more than half of the audience came for Khalid. Those cameras set up were immediately aimed at the backstage exit, and after the ceremony, technology would edit the video and post it on the Royal College of Coffee''s official blog. Every year the ceremony video generates a wave of attention, and a big reason for this is that Khalid will make an appearance. Khalid was seen walking unhurriedly from the backstage steps to the front of the stage and bowed with a light face. But as he swept his gaze across the audience, he suddenly saw a familiar person. Is that ......Swanstrom ? He couldn''t help but rest his eyes on Swanstrom for a couple of seconds before looking away and bowing to the audience, "Hello everyone, I''m Khalid." The apuse at the bottom became more enthusiastic. Seeing the good response from the audience, the host called out to Khalid who was about to enter the guest seat and said, "Mr. Spencer, look at the enthusiasm of the audience, please say a few more words!" All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Khalid subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he remembered someone sitting on the stage, he couldn''t help but agree to the host''s invitation. Khalid cleared his throat and broke into an extra sentence, "I''m honored to be invited by Royal College of Coffee to the awards ceremony, and after the awards, I will announce today''s Deep Night Cafe spokesperson." These words reached Maddison''s ears backstage through the live sound. In this moment her heart was beating fast and her eyes were glowing, as if she was going to be on top of her life in the next second. Being a spokesperson for Deep Night Cafe means you get to meet Khalid on a regr basis. Moreover, this endorsement will help her to get a role in Mr. Lane''s new movie and enter the top stream circle with one foot. Thinking about it, Maddison tightened her grip, she was the winner, the spokesperson was hers! ...... Front Desk. The host said a few words to warm up the crowd and send Khalid to his seat, and then invited Evans, the ceremony witness, to the stage. Evans was all smiles as he swept his eyes, if at all, in the direction of Swanstrom, then looked around the room and said, "Thank you all foring to the awards ceremony ......" After saying some opening remarks, Evans got right to the point and said, "Now then, let''s announce the results of thispetition. We''ll start with the third ce finishers ......" Soon, the third runner-up finished receiving the award, and it was the winner''s turn. Evans paused before announcing, "Congrattions to our winner, Miss Gardner!" Backstage Maddison breathed a sigh of relief and moved excitedly toward the front of the stage. The bottom apuded. Maddison received the championship trophy from Evans with a blush on her face. The trophy was solid gold, and Maddison held it in her hand, the whole thing smug. "Thank you all, thank you Mr. Evans, and thank you to my parents for always supporting me, I will continue to work hard in the future!" Maddison was so excited that her voice choked up. Just then, Evans spoke up, "Now, I''d like to invite Mr. Spencer to the stage to announce the spokesperson." Maddison instantly got more excited. She watched Khalid walk on stage and almost forgot to hand Khalid the microphone. Khalid took the microphone and spoke, "Long story short, let me just announce the spokesperson." Maddison excited and nervous, spread palms to see, found a thinyer of fine sweat on the palms of the hands. It''sing, it''sing! The pinnacle of her life! Khalid''s gaze did not even sweep Maddison, his eyes lingered on Swanstrom for a second before speaking, "The spokesperson is ......Swanstrom , Miss Brooks." Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Maddison mouth curve just curved up a self-consciously very celebrity arc, the next instant brain reaction over, smile twilight froze on the lips. What ...... what? Swanstrom? Did she hear it right? There was also a low murmur at the bottom. "Who is Swanstrom?" "Wasn''t the winner Maddison? Howe the spokesperson is not her? This year Deep Night Cafe didn''t follow the usual practice of choosing the winner as the spokesperson?" "Even if we don''t pick the winner, we should pick the top three, but the runner-up and runner-up are not named Swanstrom ." Taylor, in her seat, could hardly sit still and turned her head to look angrily at Swanstrom in the row behind her. But Swanstrom was also confused. Why did Khalid give her the spokesperson for the coffee house? "Swanstrom!" Taylor asked through clenched teeth, "What the hell did you do?! Why are you tripping your sister up like this?!" Taylor''s eyes were almost zed over. If this wasn''t a public event, Swanstrom believes Taylor would have eaten her alive. Morgan also turned his head in dismay, but he quickly broke into a smile. For him, both are daughters, who get the endorsement can give him money, who take the endorsement is not to take? It''s all the same. Morgan dismissed some of her prejudices about Swanstrom and said with a smile, "Swann, why didn''t you tell Dad about this big event in advance?" Swanstrom''s heart was cold. How did he forget that he was his own father when he upgraded to first ss and left her alone in economy ss? But no matter how disgusted he was, Swanstrom still didn''t show the slightest hint of it, shrugging innocently and saying, "Dad, I just found out about this too." "You lied!" Taylor said through gritted teeth, "You did it on purpose!" She didn''t say anything until now on purpose, so that she and Maddy could have an empty joy! She hates it so much! "Taylor!" Morgan said with displeasure, "What are you doing? Swann and Maddy are our children, they are all the same, stop it." Taylor''s chest was heaving with anger, but she couldn''t continue because Morgan was nearby. Swanstrom looked at Taylor with a slight hook at the corner of his lips. She didn''t really want this spokesperson, it was too much trouble and dyed her revenge, but now that she saw Taylor''s eyes full of hate, she suddenly felt that this was also a kind of revenge. Let Taylor get upset, let Maddison fall apart, and the family will be torn apart. The family had huge conflicts so she could dig out some information based on them. Just what she wanted! Taylor saw the thought in the corner of Swanstrom''s mouth and was even more sure that Swanstrom was doing it on purpose! She can''t let Swanstrom get the endorsement and take away what belongs to her baby girl! Just then, the host on stage, aftermunicating with Khalid, took the microphone and said, "Miss Brooks, pleasee on stage." Swanstrom looked to the stage and his eyes locked with Khalid who was looking over. Khalid''s dark eyes were so unreadable that Swanstrom couldn''t guess what he was thinking. But the host said so, she had to stand up and walk towards the stage. Swanstrom walked towards the stage step by step, and everyone only saw a slender back. But a single look at the back makes people feel poised, slim and elegant like a fluttering butterfly. The aura of her body seems to be like a queen descending, so that people can not be underestimated. Maddison looked at Swanstrom on the stage, and although she didn''t wear any makeup, she still shone brightly, like the sun in the sky. She hated it so much that she could chew her back teeth. Swanstrom came on stage and slowly turned around. Those who look at the back alone feel the heart of the audience immediately put straight eyes. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Beautiful! It''s so beautiful! Chapter 22 Challenge Chapter 22 Challenge The girl on the stage has three-dimensional and delicate features, is the kind of face wrapped around the face of the perfect looks, face is the most standard goose egg face, with that perfect body proportions, living off the Maddison next to turn into an ugly duckling. In front of the real swan princess, not to mention the ugly duckling, even the ordinary swan are ashamed of themselves. The most important thing is that she did not draw any makeup, if she put on makeup, I do not know how captivating it should be. Such a girl, even in the beauty of the entertainment industry will be eclipsed by the female stars. No one doesn''t like beautiful women, even the girls on the scene are all eyes glowing and full of amazement. Swanstrom is the brightest light as long as he simply stands there. And Maddison has beenpletely reduced to a background te at this moment. Those who belonged to her eyes, now without exception, all by Swanstrom steal. Look at Khalid, his eyes are also fixed on Swanstrom, as if there is no one else in his eyes. Maddison''s eyes are red with jealousy. Swanstrom also saw the look on Maddison''s face. Maddison was angry and in pain, which is exactly what she wanted. But Swanstrom quickly looked away and walked directly up to Khalid and asked in a low voice, "Khalid , why are you ......" Khalid interrupted her and said, "I haven''t decided whether to marry you or not, so I''ll pay you back a little ''interest'' first." Swanstrom was speechless for a moment. Giving her such an important endorsement just to pay back her interest? She really had no idea what was going on in Khalid''s head. However, seeing Taylor and Maddison''s exasperated faces made her feel good about being the spokesperson. Khalid took the microphone and said, "As we all know, Deep Night Cafe always chooses the winner of the coffeepetition as the spokesperson, but this year I made a decision not to choose the winner, but only the one with the right temperament. I think Miss Brooks has the right temperament to be the spokesperson for Deep Night Cafe, so Miss Brooks, say a few words to everyone." Swanstrom took the microphone handed to her by Khalid and was about to speak when a man rushed over and grabbed it from her. "I''m not convinced!" Swanstrom subconsciously turned his head and met Maddison''s scarlet eyes. Maddison''s reaction was what she expected. Swanstrom raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What are you doing, sister?" Maddison, however, ignored her and took the microphone directly to everyone present and said, "The spokesperson for the coffee house is always the one with the best coffee pulling skills, so how can we suddenly find someone who doesn''t know anything this year? I''m not convinced!" Taylor at the bottom was the first to stand up. "Mr. Spencer, your decision is too sudden, even if you want to change the practice, you should tell us in advance. How can you let a vige girl who can''t even drink coffee be the spokesperson?" Taylor''s words were met with an outcry. "Is it actually a vige girl? This spokesperson is really not in line with Deep Night Cafe''s international N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. chain store temperament!" "From the countryside even if it is, but even can not drink coffee is really a little too much." Maddison, seeing that everyone was speaking for her, took the microphone and said, "Swanstrom, you didn''t get this endorsement by using sex to serve people, did you?" Swanstrom stared coldly at Maddison, as if there were sharp des of ice under his eyes. Maddison was taken aback by the look. She turned her eyes to Khalid, whose eyes were even colder. Maddison was too frightened to look at Khalid any longer. She took a deep breath and paused for several seconds before finding her voice to speak, "Why else did you get this endorsement when you can''t even drink coffee?" Swanstrom asked lightly, "Who says I can''t even drink coffee?" Maddison smiled coldly and asked, "Then do you dare to ept my challenge? If the coffee pull wins me, I will willingly give up my spokesperson status to you!" Chapter 23 Accept Your Challenge Chapter 23 ept Your Challenge Khalid opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by a look from Swanstrom. Swanstrom smiled and said, "Fine. Then I ept your challenge!" Maddison heard this and froze in dismay, but thenughed disdainfully. "Good! Then I will challenge you now!" The bottom of Taylor also did not idle, ran over tomunicate with the organizers, and soon everything was ready. Two coffee tables were carried to the stage with all the utensils. Khalid nced at Swanstrom with some concern, but ultimately said nothing. When the host saw that both people were ready, he opened his mouth and said, "Both of you, you can start." As soon as the moderator spoke, Maddison immediately got down to business. Coffee pulling, of course, the first step is to brew the coffee first. The coffee is always hand-brewed and the contestants are required to brew their own coffee. Maddison weighed 15g of coffee beans into the grinder and ground them with graceful and serious movements. Maddison took a moment to look at Swanstrom and was shocked to find that she was actually doing a decent job, like she could actually brew coffee? Swanstrom skillfully folded the filter paper and ced it in the brew stand, then picked up the boiling hot water and filled the paper with water in clockwise circles. Seeing this, Maddison was a bit unable to calm down. Only professional coffee brewers know this step, because clockwise circles of water injection can make the filter paper and filter cups fit better, while removing the paper taste of the filter paper, but also to warm up the role of the lower pot, so that the brewed coffee is more delicious. Swanstrom even knows this, and the technique is beautiful and skillful, it seems to be really know how to make coffee. This vige girl, actually know how to make coffee? Maddison''s head was spinning for a moment, she was sure she wasn''t hallucinating, but what the hell was going on? Isn''t Swanstrom a vige girl? Maddison was shocked for a few seconds, and she reached up and pinched herself before she finally looked down and focused on making coffee. Make it! Even if you know how to make coffee, Swanstrom can''t pull flowers? Maddison took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner emotions, and continued the movements of her own hands. Traditional hand brewed coffee needs to be filled with water twice, and after two fillings, a cup of aromatic hand brewed coffee is ready. Maddisonughed in disdain when she saw that Swanstrom was still making a second brew after she had finished. She attributes Swanstrom''s ability to brew coffee to the fact that - perhaps - Swanstrom went to work in a coffee shop. Soon after, Swanstrom also finished brewing the coffee. The host signals that it is time to start the coffee pull. Compared to the rtively simple operation of coffee brewing, coffee pulling is the focus of PK. Coffee pulls are made with whole milk, and before doing so, everyone needs toe up with a theme for the coffee pull. Maddison was the first to speak as she maintained her elegant smile and said, "My theme is Sunset ......" It''s Swanstrom''s turn. Swanstrom took the microphone, thought for a moment, and said lightly, "My theme is, spring." Listening to Swanstrom also said a poem, Maddison breathlessly a mouth. This little bitch, how dare she learn to bite words from her? How many years has she read? He is a student at Saidille Paso University - of course, the art department. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Maddison was disdainful, thinking that the theme of Swanstrom was probably just a few flowers. She didn''t even give Swanstrom''s subject matter a second thought as she put her head down and carefully painted with whole milk. Maddison first used whole milk to spread the surface of the coffee, and then used a pulling tool to outline a pale mountain bit by bit, followed by a small wooden house. At a nce, it really has the feeling of "sunset". Chapter 24 Claptrap? Chapter 24 ptrap? Maddison quickly outlined the theme all over, the screen zoomed in on her coffee pull, and a gasp went up at the bottom - "This is a great mood. If this cup of coffee is sold in a cafe, it will sell for several hundred dors, right?" "It''s not a coffee pull, it''s art!" "No wonder it is said that Royal College of Coffee is the best ce to learn coffee skills, and it really is!" Taylor was so happy to hear thesements. As expected of her well-trained daughter, she really did not disappoint her! Maddison could also hear the chatter of the people at the bottom of the stage, and when she heard that most of them wereplimenting herself, she was secretly pleased with herself. She knew that the winner would be hers! She had secretly hired someone to design this theme, and had been practicing at home for a week long ago, and no one could be more stunning than her work. Maddison can foresee that by the time the video is put on the official blog, she may not have to go to the movie to gain arge wave of fans. And Khalid will certainly think highly of her. When the timees, she is love and career double harvest! The more Maddison thought about it, the happier she was, forcing herself not tough out loud. Of course, she didn''t forget to go see Swanstrom. Only Swanstrom is still pulling flowers. In her "spring", she actually just drew a few trees, and the flowers looked like they were in bud, so her technique was surprisingly good. But unfortunately,pared with her "sunset", the mood is still a little less. Finally, Swanstrom also finished, raised his hand and inquired, "Host, can you do me a favor?" The host immediately lifted his feet and walked over. Maddison snickered in her heart: ptrap! Not to mention the help of the host, she is Khalid stand, but also can not win their own, because this is an open challenge, countless eyes on it, there is no possibility of backstage. The host had already approached Swanstrom and asked, "Miss, what can I do for you?" Swanstrom saw the timing right on the big screen behind her to capture her coffee. So she spoke up and said, "Can I borrow the desk book you''re holding?" "Sure." The host was happy to do the pretty girl a favor, not mincing words as he handed Swanstrom the tableau in his hand . Maddison, next to him, saw Swanstrom''s finished work on the big screen and felt even more disdain. Is it just a little more lifelike flower painting? It is simply not enough to be feared. I wonder what else Swanstrom will get up to. But Swanstrom couldn''t have beaten her, no matter how much she messed up! Swanstrom reached out and took the desk pad from the host, then found the right angle, mastered the force in his hand and gently fanned the coffee with the pad. Maddison is speechless. How can you fan the wind on the coffee pulling flower? When the wind blows, the original pattern will not be scattered and directly paste? You are really a vige girl who doesn''t know anything! Maddison was stillughing at Swanstrom in her heart, and the next moment, a shocking scene appeared - I saw the pear tree, the original budding flowers in Swanstrom''s hand fan the wind, the flowers slowly All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. opened. A few flowers even wobbled and floated down from the "treetops", and the flowers soon fell to the ground underneath. Seeing this, Swanstrom stopped fanning himself and bowed to the audience and guests, saying, "This is my work, Spring, and thank you for watching." Chapter 25 - Shock the whole house! Chapter 25 - Shock the whole house! When the words fell, the room was silent. Because it''s so shocking! Coffee pulling, never a still picture, but Swanstrom this pulling out of the picture, is dynamic ah! Moreover, a cup of coffee can only be temporarily once, this is not a few hundred dors can buy coffee, single movement of those few seconds, it is enough to sell tens of millions! The audience was still in shock when Khalid, who was sitting in the first row, raised his hand and gave two rounds of apuse. This "spring" is not exaggerated at all. Isn''t this scene the "spring"? Now he knew why Swanstrom had epted the challenge. Khalid looks at Swanstrom with a hint of admiration, in addition to curiosity. Although this girl speaks rudely, I did not expect that she also has such an elegant and soft side. How many other sides of her did he not know? The audience finally recovered from their shock when they heard Khalid''s apuse. "Fantastic! I''ve never seen such a pull-out piece in my life, isn''t this all ready for a patent?" "It''s going to be a fire, and if the video is posted online, I believe the global coffeemunity will be shaken!" "Is thisdy a student of Royal College of Coffee? Why can''t I find her among the senior baristas in the past? Is it possible that she is not a student of Royal College of Coffee at all?" Morgan was so overwhelmed by the surprise that he stood up with a little difort and said, "She''s not a student at Royal College of Coffee, she''s my daughter, Swanstrom." "Surprisingly, it''s your daughter, I remember your other daughter is also on stage, right? To have two such excellent daughters, this gentleman, you are so happy!" "Video! Can the scene be reyed again? I want to see it again!" "I want to see it too, I want to see it too!" "Can I have a sip of that coffee, just one sip." "This gentleman, may I meet your daughter? I am the director of Meowth Cafe ......" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "I''d like to meet you too, I''m the president of XM Cafe ......" Morgan''s cheeks were flushed with excitement as countless sponsors scrambled to get in on the action. He has never been so popr with his sponsors in his life, and it''s all because of Swanstrom, his baby girl! Next to Taylor''s face are ck, the fingers of both hands involuntarily embedded in the flesh. Blood was seeping out, but she was still unconscious, only staring at Swanstrom on the stage with hatred in her eyes. Why? Why is this happening! Taylor''s heart hates it! Swanstrom has been back for just one week, but in that short week, she and Maddison have already lost to Swanstrom three times, and each time they lost in a mess. But her daughter is the most beautiful diamond, but she is overshadowed by this bitch Swanstrom! She must find out who this bitch Swanstrom really is as soon as possible! Compared to Taylor, Maddison looked a little more subdued on stage. She was very angry when she saw the scene of the flower blooming and falling! "You''re a liar!" Maddison quickly rushed towards Swanstrom, grabbed him by the cor and questioned, "Don''t you even know how to appreciate coffee? Why do you know how to pull flowers? You''re a liar! You lying bastard!" Chapter 26 His business card Chapter 26 His business card The expression on Maddison''s face bordered on a grimace. Swanstrom looked coldly at Maddison and warned, "Let go! If you don''t let go, I''ll be rude!" She sure has been too kind to Maddison all this time! Maddison is angry, and Swanstrom is intimidated. Such a terrible look that Maddison had never seen before. For a moment, Maddison was frozen in fear. Swanstrom impatiently pulled Maddison''s hand away from her cor and said to the host, "Sir, my All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. sister seems to be a bit agitated, so please take her backstage to calm down." Before the host could say anything, two ck-d bodyguards stepped forward and took Maddison away directly left and right. Swanstrom didn''t bring his bodyguards with him this time, so he was shocked to see two bodyguards taking Maddison away. In the next second, she saw the tall, magnificent man''s steady footsteps, walking towards her step by step. It''s Khalid. "Those two bodyguards ...... are your guys?" Swanstrom asked. Khalid stopped half a meter away from her, extended his right hand towards Swanstrom and said, "Congrattions on bing the face of Deep Night Cafe for the Subordinate of Spencer Group, I''ll have mywyer contact you for a follow-up. " Before Swanstrom could say anything, Morgan''s voice rang out, "Mr. Spencer, thank you for giving Swann this opportunity. She is too young to know anything about contracts, so I will be her half-agent. Khalid gave Morgan a rare smile: "So, we''ll be in touch next time." When Morgan saw that Khalid was leaving, he stopped Khalid and said, "Wait, Mr. Spencer, can you give me your card for easy contact?" Khalid''s eyes were cold as he looked at Morgan. Seeing this, the assistant next to him said directly and without mercy, "Mr. Spencer''s business card is specially made, not everyone can ask for his card. I will contact you if there is a need on my side, there is no need for you to contact us." Morgan''s old face reddened and he coughed awkwardly, not daring to mention the nomination again. Next to Swanstrom heard this, but slightly froze. It''s just a business card, why did the assistant react so much? After Khalid left, Swanstrom asked Morgan curiously, "Dad, why didn''t he even give a business card? Does his card have any special meaning?" "Of course, son." Morgan looked at Swanstrom like a real loving father and patiently exined, "Mr. Spencer''s business card is not given to just anyone, he gives it to anyone, that means he treats that person as his own. And with Mr. Spencer''s card, anyone who recognizes it will give him the benefit of the doubt and can freely enter and leave the Spencer Group building." Swanstrom subconsciously touched his hand to his pocket. The card Khalid gave her is sitting in her pocket. ording to Morgan, wouldn''t that mean that she almost threw away a treasure? But the odds are that she won''t be able to use it. But it is useful, she will not give Morgan such a person, lest he take it to do bad things. Chapter 27 Be careful I teach you a lesson! Chapter 27 Be careful I teach you a lesson! "So yeah, kid." Morgan continued, "When you''ve been working together for a long time and you''re familiar with it, you must go and ask for a business card for Daddy sometime, okay?" Swanstromughed coldly, but nodded in a good-natured way: "Yes, Daddy." She said and added, "Dad, being a spokesperson also requires a certain amount of connotation, I am not well read, can I borrow your study to read books in the future? I see you have a lot of books in your study." Inside may be able to find any hints of the cause of death of the mother. Morgan''s study is not essible, so she hasn''t had a chance to step into it all week. After a little hesitation, Morgan nodded and said, "Yes! But don''t go through the papers and stuff in the study." "Yes, thank you, Daddy!" Swanstrom smiles sweetly, attracting the attention of those around her, without even realizing how beautiful and attractive she is. Morgan felt those stares and was in a better mood. He really picked up a treasure! Not only is he beautiful, but he also has excellent coffee pulling skills, which is really a blessing from God. Just then, Taylor rushed over and said, "Honey, I saw someone take Maddy away, please help ask! I''m afraid she''s in danger ......" Morgan then remembered that she had another daughter and joined Taylor in the search. As a result, just about to go looking for it, Maddison herself came back. Swanstrom had Mr. Spencer''s men put me in a room! She''s a vicious, bad woman! You have to do something for me and teach her a lesson!" Morgan''s face sank instantly and he said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking like that, I''ll teach you a lesson again!" Maddison was startled and subconsciously covered her face where she had been hit. That was beaten, but she was a full three days of ice to reduce the swelling, the broken tooth is still not back. Maddison took two steps back in fear, wondering how her father could yell at her when it was clearly Swanstrom''s fault. Morgan was still reprimanding, "Don''t you even understand the principle of orderly growth? Don''t ever talk about your sister like that again, if I hear it again, I won''t spare you!" "Mom ......" Maddison''s eyes were teary and her whole body was trembling. Taylor squeezed her shoulder to steady her and said, "Come on, congratte your sister." Maddison tried to calm her emotions but could not squeeze out a smile and could only say in a stiff voice, "Congrattions, sister ......" Swanstrom pulled the corner of his lips and smiled with his eyes: "Thank you, sister. If you hadn''t given me a chance, I wouldn''t have been able to get the Deep Night Cafe endorsement in the right name. Thank you, sister, you''re a good sister to me."All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "You ......" Maddison was so angry that she took a long breath, and that breath could not be breathed out in any way. Maddison felt a ckout, and if Taylor hadn''t helped her in time, she would have fainted in public again. "Swanstrom!" Taylor saw Maddison slowing down and red at Swanstrom, saying, "Your sister lost her spokesperson because of you, so you should stop irritating her!" Swanstrom apologized with an innocent face, "I''m sorry ah, I didn''t know it would irritate her ...... sister, are you okay?" Chapter 28 - One Move to Control the Enemy Chapter 28 - One Move to Control the Enemy Maddison looked at Swanstrom so pretentious, almost to faint again. Morgan, who was next to her, felt humiliated and said with a frown, "Take her back to the hotel, don''t make a fool of yourself here!" Taylor looked at Morgan''s eyes for a moment to be resentful, but only a moment, Taylor is well hidden emotions, called a waiter together to help Maddison away. The sponsor didn''t expect Maddison to suddenly faint, and he was just about to say something to lighten the mood when arge group of coffee sponsors rushed over. "Thisdy, please work with ourpany! I am willing to hire you as a spokesperson at a high price." All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Miss, choose ourpany, we are an internationally renowned coffee merchant!" "Bullshit international famous coffee merchant, your family is just an instant coffee maker, Miss, you''d better choose us!" More and more coffee merchants poured onto the stage, and a few even almost got into a direct fight. Even Morgan was pushed out of the crowd at the end. He stood outside for a moment in a daze. This daughter of his countryside, actually ...... actually so popr? Also! Don''t even look at whose daughter it is. Even if he grew up in the countryside, he was so good, much like him! Morgan showed a fatherly smile of relief. Maddison, who had already reached the entrance of the ceremony site, woke up leisurely. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Swanstrom on stage surrounded by a group of coffee merchants who were supposed to surround her, but now all of them were surrounding Swanstrom. And all because she herself chose to PK with Swanstrom at the time, thinking that Swanstrom could be She, once again, lifted a stone and smashed her own feet. Maddison rolled her eyes and fainted again in anger. Taylor was too busy to care about Swanstrom. By the time the ceremony was over, Swanstrom had a stack of business cards in his hand, from coffee vendorsrge and small. Of course, Morgan ended up taking all these business cards and picking them out one by one. Swanstrom looked at Morgan''s excited look, heart iparable helpless, in order to hit Maddison''s face, she really gave herself a lot of trouble. But in this way, she also sessfully stirred up the family, Maddison, Swanstrom, the mother and daughter will definitely not let her go. Taylor has already killed to stop her froming back, will she let herself go when shees back? Never! Before leaving the ceremony, Swanstrom received a card that Morgan had fished out of his wallet. Morgan said, "This is my supplementary card, if you run out of money in those two cards, just swipe this supplementary card. When you get back, you must buy yourself a good outfit, so you don''t have to be as frugal as before." Swanstrom pretended to push back a bit before finally epting the card. She can use the card to find out how much liquidity Morgan has. She can remember when she asked the detective to check the file of her mother''s life, she knew that when she was alive, the card liquidity was nearly ten billion. Now I don''t know how much money will be avable when Brooks Group bes Gardner Group. The time flew by and Swanstrom was on the return flight and before we knew it the ne was back at Flowarhard Cidy. The four of them walked out of the airport with their own thoughts, and the driver was already waiting for them at the entrance of the airport. Morgan took the car first because she had to deal with business matters in the opposite direction of the estate. Waiting for another car from the family toe and pick her up, Maddison took advantage of theck of people around to warn, "Swanstrom! I advise you not to challenge my boundaries again and again!" Chapter 29 - Broke her hand! Chapter 29 - Broke her hand! Swanstrom showed an extremely surprised look and asked, "I didn''t know you didn''t tell me you had a bottom line?" "You--" "I thought people who let poisonous snakes bite people didn''t even have humanity, I didn''t know you had a bottom line, sorry haha, I''ll pay attention next time." Swanstrom raised his smile. Maddison was just angry when she suddenly realized the meaning of Swanstrom''s words and took two steps back: "You ...... know that ...... you really put that snake in my room, don''t you? ?" Swanstrom smiled: "Why are you so angry? I''m just giving you back what belongs to you." Maddison looked like I had finally caught her: "I''m telling Dad right now! Don''t you dare try to weasel your way out of it!" Swanstrom nodded unconcernedly and said, "Yeah, go tell Dad that you put the snake in my room and I found it, and then I gave it back to you." Maddison''s phone calls came to a halt. Yes ...... she put the snake in Swanstrom''s room first, and if sheins about it, she''ll be the one who ends up in trouble! This is something she can only ever mention again. Maddison was so angry that her eyes seemed to burst into mes. "Bitch! I''ll kill you!" Maddison couldn''t hold back and rushed over to grab Swanstrom''s face. This face, she has wanted to destroy for a long time! What Maddison didn''t expect was that her hand was just about to touch Swanstrom''s face when Swanstrom grabbed her wrist with a backhand, and with a force, Maddison''s hand immediately became as limp as a willow blown off by the wind. Swanstrom dislocated Maddison''s hand straight away. The hands of a girl of this age are so slender and weak that she doesn''t need to use much force. Her eyes looked coolly at Maddison, with no sympathy in them. The p Taylor gave her was the first andst time the mother and daughter hit her, as she said. Maddison here was in so much pain she almost passed out. She tried to move her hand and another sharp pain hit her. "Hiss--" Maddison sucked in a cold breath, shocked to find that there was no way to move her hand at all, and when she did, it was a sharp pain like a broken bone. Did Swanstrom break her hand? Maddison looked at Swanstrom in horror, this woman was obviously thinner than her, where did she get the strength? Did she practice taekwondo? Maddison was so scared that she no longer dared to make a casual move on Swanstrom, and turned Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. her head to call out to Taylor, who was unpacking: "Mom, Swanstrom broke my hand! "What?!" Taylor was stunned. She just focused on looking at the luggage, and did not pay attention to Maddison and Swanstrom''s argument, now heard Maddison face pale shouting, even the luggage can not care, directly ran over. "What''s going on?" Maddison''s eyes gurgled with tears and her other uninjured hand pointed at Swanstrom resentfully, "She broke my hand, my hand ...... I can''t move my hand ...... oooooooh ......" "Fracture?" Taylor did not believe that Swanstrom was that strong, she tried to move Maddison''s hand, Maddison immediately pain "screaming". Taylor now believes that Maddison''s hand was really broken by Swanstrom. Now even Taylor''s heart is stable and can not calm down, directly pick up the phone to call the police. She would have been better off calling the police than having Morgan, who was overwhelmed by profit,
