《The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy》 Chapter 1 - 1: The Illegitimate Daughter

Chapter 1: The Illegitimate Daughter

Truro City, early September. A grand engagement banquet was being held at the Doomsday Hotel, the luxurious and extravagant banquet hall filled with pink roses,ughter, and soft piano music resonating throughout the hall. On the 36th floor of the hotel, outside Room 3603, all sounds were isted, and the room was filled with oppressive silence, leaving no ce to escape. Daisy Zane, dressed in ck and wearing a mask, sat on the sofa in the room. Only her beautiful and gorgeous phoenix eyes were exposed, looking at the fat man curled up on the ground and unable to get up as he clutched his abdomen. "Who are you, exactly? What...do you want?" The fat man had a fierce expression and a scar above his left eyebrow. His well-dressed appearance couldn''t conceal the violent aura surrounding him. But he had been beaten, and it took him a while to finally speak. Daisy Zane didn''t speak, she took out a small sealed bag from her pocket and threw it in front of the fat man. The fat man gasped for breath, propped himself up, and picked up the sealed bag from the ground. Inside were two empty sealing bottles, their caps already open. Turning the bag around, the man''s pupils trembled when he saw the numbers on the sealing bottle. Thebels on the sealing bottles were simple, only three blue bold numbers: 319. There was nothing else. Seeing that the man didn''t speak, Daisy asked, "These things came from your hands. Where did theye from?" "I don''t know what you''re talking about. I don''t recognize these things either," the fat man denied as he threw the items back on the floor. "I found you, which means you''ve been exposed. Do you think that at this point, still hiding things, your people above will let you off?" Daisy Zane''s voice was calm and cold, reminiscent of falling snow, yet the oppressive feeling was palpable. "Doing your line of work, you should know better than to let someone slip through your fingers, right?" The fat man kept his head down and didn''t speak. "Are you going to speak?" Daisy Zane waited for a moment, and when she saw his hesitation, she got up, "I suddenly feel like exposing your whereabouts and waiting patiently for the catch might work." After saying that, she started walking away. "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Daisy Zane didn''t stop. "I''ll talk! I''ll talk! As long as you ensure my safety, I''ll tell you everything!" Daisy Zane stopped, turned to look at him. She was tall, d in all ck, her hooded coat somewhatrge, covering her buttocks. Her legs were long, slender, and straight, with Martin boots on her feet. She looked cool, with a sharp, cold, ice-like aura surrounding her. "Turn yourself in, and someone will naturally protect your safety." "I... I..." The fat man, beaten and still unable to stand, realized that he was truly finished. He revealed all the information he knew. "Is that all?" Daisy Zane asked. "I''ve told you everything I know." Daisy Zane walked back, picked up the sealed bag thrown next to the man, and put it in her pocket. Then she put her hood back on. The hood wasrge, and when she put it on, it covered half her face. "You should understand that the faster you turn yourself in, the safer you''ll be." Without another word, she walked towards the balcony. The fat man''s face was filled with despair as he watched the figure on the balcony disappear, seemingly jumping to the balcony of the neighboring room. It took him a while to realize that she had entered his room from the balcony. But... this was the 36th floor. ... When Daisy Zane came out from the neighboring room, she had already changed into a new outfit. She wore a in-colored long dress, her waist slim, and her skin pale and cold. Her long hair was casually pinned up with a white jade colored hairpin. Her phoenix eyes slightly tilted upward, her cold and dazzlingly beautiful appearance, and the aloof and indifferent aura surrounding her couldn''t be concealed even by her long dress. Daisy Zane closed the door, took out her cell phone, and checked her messages. One minute ago, Robinson Scott had just sent her a message: [The banquet hall is very lively, do you want toe and have a look? Your sister''s mouth is practically touching the sky, and hasn''te down.] Daisy Zane replied to her: [You''re so free today? You even have time to join in the fun?] [It''s not bad. I chased a b*stard here and found out you were here tonight, so I got myself an invitation card to join in the fun. Want to meet up?] [Two minutes.] Standing in front of the elevator, Daisy Zane replied to the message. She was about to press the elevator button when the elevator door opened on that floor. The elevator doors slowly opened, and Daisy Zane looked up to see an exceptionally beautiful face. The man''s features were delicate, seductive, and aggressive. His slender eyes, with narrow double eyelids that were nheless deep, were enchanting. Especially his lips, as red as dan sand, were naturally extraordinary. He resembled an ancient painting, meticulously crafted with each stroke. After two or three seconds of eye contact, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, her demeanor somewhat mboyant. The man in the elevator also gave her a gentle, intoxicating smile. Neither of them spoke, and Daisy Zane stepped aside to let the two men out of the elevator before walking in herself. The elevator doors slowly closed, descending, only then did the man divert his gaze, walking inside. The man who had been following him all along hesitated for a moment and immediately caught up to him, "Arthur North, you just smiled. Do you fancy thatdy?" "Don''t I usually smile?" Kevin rk''s voice was very pleasant, low, and uniquely melodious. "When have you ever smiled at someone with such tenderness?" Allonzo Hobson said, incredulously, as he leaned against the side of the elevator, scrutinizing Kevin''s smile. "And she''s a stranger...Third Master, when did you be sopassionate?" "Just now, I guess." "..." Kevin rk stopped in front of Room 3603, looking at Allonzo Hobson. Getting the hint, Allonzo Hobson took out his room card and swiped open the door. ... Daisy Zane went to the floor where the banquet hall was located and sent a message to Robinson Scott, asking him toe out to meet her; she didn''t go inside herself. Today''s engagement banquet was between Amelia Miles, the Miles Family heiress, and John Anderson of the Anning Faction. And she... was the Miles Family''s illegitimate daughter. Chapter 2 - 2: Doomsday Hotel

Chapter 2: Doomsday Hotel

Doomsday Hotel is an extremely luxurious hotel, with only two branches nationwide, one in the Imperial Capital and the other in Truro City. It has a hundred-year history and has undergone several renovations, with almost all of its decoration made of real gold and jade. The people who can enter here are either rich or powerful. When Robinson Scott came out, Daisy Zane was looking at a vase worth at least seven figures in a corner spot. "Superstar, what are you looking at?" Robinson Scott called her from a distance. Hearing the voice, Daisy Zane turned around, and a hint of a faint smile appeared in her eyes. "It''s for you." Robinson Scott took a wooden box from his bag and handed it to her, "It''s not as good as thest auction, but it''s also a high-quality item, from a collector''s hand." Daisy Zane took it and opened the box to take a look. Inside was a white jade hairpin, the head of which was an openwork carving, looking quite old but well preserved. Thest time at the auction, there was a dispute over a red jade hairpin, and the final raised price far exceeded the value of the hairpin. Daisy Zane didn''t bid any further, allowing the other party to get it. "Thank you, you''ve gone to a lot of trouble." "It''s nothing." Robinson Scott''s appearance had a bit of an exotic vor, but when he smiled, it was very cute, "Just treat me to a drink." "Alright, let''s go, I''ll treat you to a drink." "Next time." Robinson Scottughed, "I still have a taskter." "You seem to be quite busy." Daisy Zane''s facial expression didn''t change, still maintaining a cold and distant look, but the words carried a teasing tone. Robinson Scott narrowed his deep eyes andined in a low voice with some grinding his teeth, "That''s because someone said they wouldn''t take any tasks this year, so they all got pushed onto me. I don''t even have time for a rtionship!" "How miserable." Robinson Scott looked at her with a resentful expression. Seeing his look, Daisy Zane couldn''t help but lower her head andugh softly. The cold beauty''s face had a touch of a smile, like sunshine falling on snow, making the cold snow even more beautiful. "Seeing how pretty you are, I won''t hold it against you." Robinson Scott was conquered by her smile, "By the way, how''s your matter going? Did you find anything?" "I haven''t got any useful information." When it came to this matter, Daisy Zane seemed a bit annoyed. "The item has passed through so many hands by the time it reaches him. And they are very careful, all transactions are done offline, just being able to trace this one thread is already not easy." Robinson Scott said, "Just take your time." "Let''s go, I''ll walk you." Daisy Zane gave the hairpin back to her, "Ask someone to bring it back to the Imperial Capital and put it with the previous ones." Robinson Scott took it and put it back in his bag. He just showed it to her to see if she liked it, not expecting her to keep it: "What kind of a habit is collecting so many and not using them, using some crappy wood, and stic every day." "Too poor to use something that expensive." "......" ... Daisy Zane apanied Robinson Scott to the hotel entrance, as time already quitete, she nned to stay at the hotel for one night and leave tomorrow. But as soon as she turned around, she ran into Amelia Miles, who hade out to see off a friend. "Sister." "..." "Sister, are you here for my engagement banquet?" Amelia Miles walked a few steps closer to her, smiling very kindly. "Happy engagement." Daisy Zane responded politely. "Thank you, I''m very happy that you could make it." Amelia Miles said, "However, the event has already ended inside. You can wait in the lobby for a while, and we can go back togetherter." "No, I''m not going back." "If you don''t want to stay at home, my brother can take you to your ceter. It''s toote, and it''s hard to get a taxi around here." "No need, I''m staying here." "Staying...here?" Amelia Miles looked at the big sign of Doomsday Hotel behind her, thinking she might have misheard. "Yeah." Upon Daisy Zane''s response, she suddenly heard a burst ofughter, which was quite grating. She looked in the direction of theughter. They were the women who just left with Amelia Miles. They also walked over, stepping on high heels with an air of arrogance. One of them said, "Stay here? Do you know how much it costs to stay here for one night? This is Doomsday Hotel, not some roadside inn." "Long Joy, don''t say that." Amelia Miles pulled the person next to her, "My sister has been living in the countryside for a long time, she doesn''t know much about things here." Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow upon hearing this, with a flicker of amusement in her beautiful phoenix eyes. She was an illegitimate daughter, living in the countryside since childhood, and without attending school. All of these things were spread by Amelia Miles in a seemingly protective tone. "I''m saying this for her sake." rissa Mason raised her chin, "She just had a cameo role and got some money. She shouldn''t spend it all on one night here, or else she might not even have money for food tomorrow." "Long Joy!" Amelia Miles whispered a rebuke and then said to Daisy Zane, "Sister, don''t mind her. She''s had a bit too much to drink today. Sister, the Doomsday Hotel is indeed more expensive than ordinary hotels. Let my brother take you backter." "No need." Daisy Zane''s voice was even colder than before. After saying these two words, she nced at rissa Mason and walked straight inside the hotel. Just with that one nce, rissa Mason felt a cold shiver run down her spine, chilling her entire body, and making her feet feel cold. Amelia Miles turned her gaze towards Daisy Zane, her face devoid of any sweetness, only contempt remaining. She wanted to see how Daisy Zane would be driven outter. But what she saw was Daisy Zane entering the grand hall of the hotel. The waiter inside immediately greeted her, and Daisy Zane showed him her room card. With a respectful gesture, the waiter led Daisy Zane into the hotel. Amelia Miles'' fingers hanging at her side tightened involuntarily. How could a countryside girl like her have the money or qualifications to stay in the Doomsday Hotel? "She... really went in." Suddenly someone spoke, and Amelia Miles'' sweet expression returned somewhat hurriedly. The people she had sent out were in the entertainment industry and had a small reputation, but they were not top-tier. They couldn''t afford to stay in the Doomsday Hotel. rissa Mason and Daisy Zane were in the same entertainmentpany. As soon as Daisy Zane signed with thepany, she got a cameo role in a big director''s movie. That role had belonged to rissa Mason before Daisy Zane joined thepany. "Sister, she is really good." Amelia Miles whispered softly. "Good at seducing people, maybe." rissa Mason''s jealousy was intense, as if she wanted to grind her teeth. "Long Joy, don''t talk nonsense." "I''m not talking nonsense." rissa Mason wrapped Amelia Miles''s arm, "Amelia, you''re too naive. How could she snatch my role without any tactics? I had already auditioned and secured the role before she came. And then she stole it." "Yes, she''s just a poor girl, wearing fake goods all over. How could she possibly stay at the Doomsday Hotel? Maybe she''s with someone." The person next to them chimed in. "You guys, don''t talk about my sister like that." Amelia Miles said, but in her heart, she felt much morefortable. "Amelia, don''t be stupid and think about others all the time." rissa Mason said, "You treat her as a sister, but does she treat you as a sister? You should be smart and not let the whole Miles family fall into her hands. She hasn''t even gone to school, just a bumpkin with nothing but dirty tricks in her head." Amelia Miles slowly lowered her head, her expression tense, and said no more. ... "Arthur, shall we go next door and have a look?" Allonzo Hobson and Kevin rk were standing on the balcony of room 3603, looking next door. After the fat man had finished speaking, Kevin rk had him taken away. "No need." Kevin rk took his gaze back, "Since he''s not the man''s aplice and has the same information as us, there''s no need to meet." "That''s true." Allonzo Hobson sighed, "The news has been cut off again." "ce another order with Celestial Pivot Detective Agency." Kevin rk said. Allonzo Hobson nodded, "Celestial Pivot is running into hard orders indeed." Kevin rk did not speak, his narrow eyes radiating cold. After standing on the balcony for a while, he turned and left the room. As he opened the door, Kevin rk couldn''t help but nce at the door of the room next door, just in time to see Daisy Zane opening the door. Daisy Zane also heard the movement and turned her head to take a look. ... Chapter 3 - 3 Agent

Chapter 3: Agent

Their gazes met, and Daisy Zane''s eyshes trembled slightly, amplifying the cold aura around her. Kevin rk smiled, saying, "We meet again." Daisy Zane looked at him without uttering a word. Allonzo Hobson came out a littleter, arrived at the entrance to see both of them staring at each other. The girl seemed entirely different from the one he had seen by the elevator. She appeared more hostile now, more difficult to provoke. Were they viewed as ill-intentioned strangers by her? Allonzo Hobson did not connect her to the person who had jumped across the balcony. "What a coincidence, we meet again." Allonzo Hobsonughed lightly, his eyes curving into crescents, "We must be fated. Shall we get acquainted? I''m Allonzo Hobson." Daisy Zane remained silent, her gaze shifting from Allonzo Hobson to Kevin rk. The implication was clear he had introduced himself, it was now his turn to do the same. First time on the receiving end of such treatment, Kevin rk seemed unfazed. If anything, his smile broadened. With a somewhat bewitching charm, he stated, "Kevin rk." Allonzo Hobson nced at the man who had just announced his name. The gentle tone was one that he didn''t deserve to possess. Upon hearing this name, the icy aura around Daisy Zane seemed to diminish a little. She slowly opened her mouth, "Daisy Zane." "Does Miss Zane live alone?" Kevin rk inquired. Daisy Zane''s gaze wandered off his face, she nodded, the look in her eyes was obscure and indistinct. Kevin rk assessed her slender and fair wrist and remarked, "This room just had an upant escorted away by the police. It would be safer for Miss Zane to switch rooms." Remembering the person who had jumped across from the balcony, Allonzo Hobson nced at the thin and frail looking girl in front of him. She appeared to be defenseless. He hastily added, "Yes, yes, I''ll get in touch with someone right away and arrange for Miss Zane to be transferred to another room for free." His tone... it was as if the Doomsday Hotel was his property. After a phone call from Allonzo Hobson, the hotel''s efficiency and service also seemed to be under hismand. They promptly switched her room from the 36th floor to the 39th floor. A floor that can''t be reached without the Doomsday Hotel''s gold card. The bellboy put the luggage in the room, Daisy Zane thanked both men outside the door before entering her room. The two men outside walked a few steps forward and entered the room next door. ... The next day, Daisy Zane was awakened by a phone call around seven o''clock. After the call, she freshened up, checked out of the hotel, and took a cab back to her ce to drop off her luggage, before heading to thepany. Maple Elite Entertainment was thergest entertainmentpany in Truro City. The boss, John Anderson, was also Amelia Miles'' fianc. The person who called her early in the morning was John''s assistant. She had joined thepany nearly two months ago. On the day she signed the contract, she happened to meet a director in thepany who offered her a small role in a film. She didn''t even have an agent yet. The call today was to arrange a meeting with an agent. Once she entered thepany, John''s assistant led her to John''s office door and left. The office door was ajar, and Daisy Zane was about to knock when she heard voices from within. She let go of her hand and stood outside waiting. She could hear the conversation inside the office. "John, I''m not going to manage Daisy Zane." The woman''s words were very straightforward, "Amelia''s mother and I have been friends since childhood. Daisy Zane is the Miles family''s illegitimate daughter, how could I possibly manage her!" "Sister Chester, that''s all in the past, Daisy Zane is innocent." John''s tone was respectful. "Alright, let''s not discuss personal matters. Let''s talk about business." Olivia Chester was assertive, "She''s an illegitimate daughter with no formal education, let alone any training in acting. Once she appears in the public eye and these facts are revealed, they will wreak havoc. I will absolutely not manage a ticking time bomb." "Sister Chester, this is a minor issue for you." Olivia Chester had been in the entertainment industry for many years, with all of her clients enjoying top-level fame. Her status in the industry was very high, everyone respectfully addressed her as "Sister Chester". The person she wanted to promote would always be famous. When John Anderson established Maple Elite Entertainment, he poached her from the Imperial Capital. Excluding John, Olivia Chester had the most shares in Maple Elite Entertainment. "Stop ttering me," Olivia Chester said, "I admit that Daisy Zane is very beautiful and stunning. But she''s not suited for this path, let alone to be an actress. My judgment has never been wrong, so...I don''t understand why you signed her and insisted on me managing her." "Sister Olivia..." "John Anderson, you are engaged to Johnson Sophie," Olivia Chester interrupted him, "I''m warning you, don''t have any inappropriate thoughts." "I don''t." John frowned slightly. "That''s the best." Olivia Chester''s voice became more calm, "John, time will prove that signing her was a mistake. I won''t manage her, so don''t waste your breath. I''m leaving." When she walked out, she saw the person standing outside the door. Today, Daisy Zane was wearing a set of light-colored casual wear, her waist slim, legs long, body tall, and her hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, giving her an overall brisk and smart look. The gaze that fell on Olivia Chester was somewhat cold. Olivia Chester looked her up and down, then left with a sneer. Daisy Zane watched her back until she disappeared. She let out a sigh that sounded like life was tough, then knocked on the office door. "Sit," said John Anderson, "Do you want something to drink?" "No thanks," Daisy Zane stood in front of the office desk with her hands in her coat pockets, her voice frosty, "You don''t have to assign me to a powerful agent, anyone will do." "You are the one signed by my father personally," John Anderson said, "I dare not neglect." All his life, his father had given him instructions and lectures, but hardly ever engaged in superfluous conversation with him. As a child, he even attempted to steal his father''s hair for DNA testing. And then...that afternoon when he was discovered, their clothesline got bent. So when his father asked him to help sign someone, he was so excited that he stayed awake all night. "Or maybe you pick one?" John Anderson ced a stack of files in front of her and said seriously. Daisy Zane gave him a nce, casually took one from the top and handed it to him, saying, "I saved Mayor John by chance. He signed me to Maple Elite as a payback. So there''s no need for any special treatment." John Anderson didn''t respond to her words. He felt that it was not that simple. His father, a person of integrity and impartiality who was fearless of power, was always extremely careful when mentioning Daisy Zane. Just like, he was afraid that even a name might get bumped. He looked at the resume in his hand and frowned, "You may want to choose another one. This person has been at home for two years since giving birth and just came back. She has been out of touch with the entertainment business for two years, and all her artists have been assigned elsewhere. I recently thought about switching her to a different position." "Just pick her," Daisy Zane said. "Huh?" John Anderson looked at her, "Are you serious?" Daisy Zane nodded. ... The new agent was taking care of her child at home as there was nothing going on in thepany. Daisy Zane didn''t rush to meet her, they left contact information for each other, and then left thepany. She stood by the road thinking of calling a car, and as she opened her phone, she received a message. She opened the message first. Assistant: [The professor said your report format was too chaotic. Redraft one and send it to his email before twelve noon.] Reading this message, Daisy Zane''s eyebrows moved slightly. Her pink lips were pressed together, she felt a little upset. At this moment, a Maybach stopped in front of her. The car window was rolled down to reveal Harton rk''s extraordinarily handsome face. His narrowly elongated eyes were filled withughter, extremely good-looking, "Lady Zane, where are you going? Let me give you a ride." Daisy Zane looked at his face, and her slightly agitated mood eased a bit. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it on your way to the Evesting Pce?" "On the way." Xavier Dominic, sitting in the driver''s seat, nced at him and thought to himself, you''re not going back to your ce now, how is it on the way? Daisy Zane opened the rear door and got in, greeted Xavier Dominic, and thanked both of them. Harton rk was in the passenger seat, with aptop on hisp. He responded to Daisy Zane''s words and closed the chat page he had open. On the chat page that was just closed, there was a file he sent out, followed by a line: [Next time, if the format is this messed up, don''t hand it to me.] Then, a person marked as an assistant replied: [Understood, professor. I''ll have her revise it right away and send it to you before twelve.] Chapter 4 - 4: Failure in Unifying Habits

Chapter 4: Failure in Unifying Habits

Closing theputer, Arthur nced outside at the Maple Elite Entertainment building and spoke softly, "Are you here to have fun?" "No." Daisy Zane''s voice and aura both felt distant and hard to approach, yet her manners and behavior were very polite and well-mannered. "I''m working here." "Did you sign with Maple Elite Entertainment?" Allonzo Hobson asked, "You want to develop your career in the entertainment industry?" "Yes." "What direction are you looking to develop in?" Allonzo was one hundred percent sure that this was a neer, otherwise with her looks, it would be impossible for her to appear without knowing about it. "Actor." "Acting is great." Allonzo, having a Best Actress mother himself and naturally being talkative, became excited, "Maple Elite Entertainment is good, and Truro City is a film studio, very convenient. Your conditions are good, with just a slightly better script and production team, you can definitely be popr..." As Allonzo said all this, Arthur could only sit in the copilot seat and look at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The girl sat casually, with her back slightly leaning against the seat, legs together and hands resting in her pockets. Her posture was very well-behaved, yet full of confidence. Her appearance was exquisitely cold, especially those phoenix eyes, the corners of which slightly turned up, giving her an impressive air. But she was also very patient. Allonzo had so much to say, speaking fast and carelessly. Yet she responded to each and every one of them. Although mostly with only a few words. The journey ended with Allonzo''s rundown of the entertainment industry. Once they reached the entrance of the residential estate, Daisy Zane got out of the car and thanked them before entering the estate. Arthur kept his gaze on her until she disappeared from view. It wasn''t until Arthur looked away that Allonzo Hobson started the car again and said with a smile, "Third Master, are you smitten?" Arthur ignored him, opened hisputer, and essed an encrypted file. "To say something rebellious, I think she''s even prettier than my mom," Allonzo said. "It''s no wonder our Third Master is smitten." "Your mom would disown you if she heard that," Arthur said without lifting his head. Allonzoughed and then said more seriously, "I heard that Roy Ryder came to Truro Cityst night and stirred up an underground auction in Sky Rights Hotel. He took away all those weird antiques with unidentified origins. The hotel''s surveince system still hasn''t recovered." "Criminals preying on criminals," Arthur said. "Sky Rights Hotel deserves some lessons." "Truro City is pretty interesting," Allonzo said with a smile. "It seems to have suddenly be livelier." ... Evesting Pce was a newly built property, with a quiet location and pleasant scenery. Developers built it for wealthy businessmen to retire or vacation in. As a result, the housing prices were inted. So there were very few people living there. Daisy Zane chose this ce because of its quietness, distance from the bustling city, and excellent security. She bought a top-floor apartment in the most expensive building. In addition to the nicely furnished building, the top floor offered a panoramic view of the entire Truro City, which was very beautiful. Returning home, Daisy opened the door and saw a high heel lying paralyzed near the entrance. The other one was... temporarily lost. She changed her shoes and went in, spotting the other one at the guest room entrance. The only person she had given the password to was Robinson Scott. No one else would dare take off their shoes in her room like this. Daisy opened the guest room door. Robinson was very alert, opened her eyes at the sound, and looked towards the entrance with bloodshot eyes. Seeing that it was Daisy, shey back down on the bed and buried her head in the pillow, "Brother Nine, you''re back?" "When did you get here?" Daisy asked, not bothering to correct her name-calling due to her current state. "More than an hour, I guess." Robinson''s weak voice, after finishing this sentence, seemed to fall asleep, "I haven''t slept for two nights in a row. Themotion at the Sky Rights Hotelst night was quite big." "Hmm." Daisy leaned against the door frame and responded, "I was at home all day." "Good." Robinson answered, then immediately fell into a deeper sleep. With Daisy around, she just needed to sleep C anything else would be taken care of. Gently closing the guest room door, Daisy ignored the shoes at the entrance, went back to her room, took herputer, and sat on the balcony, adjusting the format of the report. She finished adjusting the format in a few seconds, changing the line spacing from 18 points to 1.5 times. Daisy was used to writing with an 18-point line spacing and seeing that spacing. She intended to unify the spacing with the professor''s preferences. But... it hadn''t been sessful this time. Chapter 5 - 5: Not Just A Little Cold...

Chapter 5: Not Just A Little Cold...

Robinson Scott slept until around four in the afternoon. Daisy Zane waited for him to wake up before she left. She had visited the chemistryboratory at Truro University and didn''t leave until past eleven o''clock at night, she then took a cab back to the Evesting Pce. In September, Truro City was still very hot, but there was a slight breeze at night. Daisy Zane looked outside the car; her face was reflected on the car window. Even without any makeup, her beauty was stunning. Her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes half-lowered. The car window was lowered somewhat, and a slight breeze came in, cooling and soothing. Only then did Daisy Zane take a good look at the street scene outside; she was almost at the Evesting Pce. She asked Mr. Driver to stop the car, nning to walk the rest of the way. Mr. Driver, an uncle-like figure, gave her several warnings, but seeing her insistence on walking back by herself, he finally drove away. The ce was a newly constructedmercial district, ready for leasing. Thus, the entire area was a bit dark, aside from the streetmps lining the road, and there wasn''t a single person. Daisy Zane was still wearing the casual clothes from the morning, but due to herb work, her high ponytail had been transformed into a loose bun with some stray strands falling against her forehead, floating casually with the breeze. She strolled leisurely down the street when she suddenly heard yelling and footsteps approaching from afar. "Stop! Or I''ll shoot!" The sound came from the alley ahead; Daisy Zane continued to walk forward as if she didn''t hear it at all, stopping at the entrance of the alley. The man in the alley who was desperately escaping saw a woman standing at the entrance and instantly thought of taking her hostage, flicking open the spring knife in his hand. The policeman who was chasing after also spotted Daisy Zane and yelled out, "Get out of the way!" Almost simultaneously, a man from the copilot seat of a Maybach on the opposite side of the road got out before the car had fully stopped. However, Daisy Zane stood in ce without moving, even lowering her head to send a text message. She put her cellphone back in her pocket as the man from the alley came up to her side, reaching for her shoulder. Just as he was about to touch her, Daisy Zane raised her hand to grab his wrist and twisted it. It seemed like a straightforward action, but the man bent over in pain and from the inertia of his body. However, the fugitive, who evidently had extensive escaping experience, immediately stood up straight, enduring the pain. His wrist made a crisp snapping sound, and his other hand lunged at her with the knife. Daisy Zane slightly dodged and then kneeled him in the ribs. At this moment, the man''s facial muscles were distorted, his face turned deathly pale, and the spring knife in his hand dropped. He had been gasping from running; now he didn''t know whether to gasp from the pain or from exhaustion. The entire process took fewer than ten seconds, Daisy Zane''s expression remained unperturbed, and she even seemed a little careless. The police reacted quickly and immediately came to control the man. However, the man was unable to straighten his waist, so instead of controlling him, the police ended up supporting him. "The youngdy is so skilled." The policeman was sweaty and panting, and he gave her a word of praise. Daisy Zane didn''t respond, epting it as a matter of course. The policeman spoke a few more words to her briefly, expressed his gratitude, and then quickly left with the man. However, as the man was led away, he suddenly looked back at Daisy Zane, his eyes filled with vicious hatred as if he wanted to devour her. It was as if he wanted to etch her face deeply into his mind. Daisy Zane met his gaze and raised her eyebrows lightly after two seconds. Those cold and harsh eyes that looked at him as if he was a mere insect made the man''s eyes shrink sharply. He immediately turned his head away and didn''t dare to look at her again. Only when they disappeared into the distance did Daisy Zane turn and look at the two men standing not far away. Her facial expression had already reverted back to its usual aloof and indifferent state. Kevin rk''s expression was quite nonchnt. When Daisy Zane looked at him, a hint of amusement shed in his eyes. Allonzo Hobson, standing next to him, wasn''t doing a good job controlling his expression. His apricot eyes seemed to have bulged into the size of dove eggs, looking stunned. "You should pay first if you want to watch." Daisy Zane was the first to break the silence. The amusement deepened on Kevin rk''s face: "Indeed, such an exciting spectacle is worth paying for." Looking at his face, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Daisy Zane''s mouth: "Thanks." Seeing her in danger, Kevin rk had indeed meant to help, but watching her swiftly taking action, he chose to stand back instead. Plus, he had silently revised his impression of her in his mind. The little girl was not only cold but also merciless. "Don''t go out alone sote next time, it''s not safe." Allonzo Hobson finally came to his senses, nced at Kevin rk, and began to grumble silently in his heart. As for who was actually in danger with her fighting skills, he couldn''t even clearly see how she made her move before the person was knocked out. Daisy Zane hummed in acknowledgement. "Let''s go, I''ll walk you home." Kevin said. Daisy Zane nced at the car parked opposite him, which was in the opposite direction to her, and said, "No need, I''m just a few steps away." "Then let me walk those few steps with you." Daisy Zane''s eyebrows quivered slightly and she then said, "Alright." The two walked side by side, maintaining an appropriate distance, neither of them speeding up. With a height close to 1.9 meters, Kevin rk has a wickedly attractive appearance, his long, narrow eyes exuding apelling aggressiveness. Yet, his demeanor was surprisingly elegant. His gait and manners were reminiscent of the young masters from Ennd''s period. Up close, a faint scent of eaglewood lingered on him, smelling quite pleasant. "Miss Zane, are you a local resident of Truro City?" His voice was clear and deep, carrying a pleasant archaic ent. "I grew up in Cold Green Vige." Kevin rk nced at her. With her fair and delicate skin, it was hard to picture her growing up in Cold Green Vige. It wasn''t that he looked down upon the countryside; it was just that Cold Green Vige was so remote and inessible. Surrounded by mountains and cliffs, the vige was extremely difficult to reach. If he remembered correctly, even now there was no inte and cell phones had no signal there. It had always been a key poverty alleviation target, but progress was challenging due to the harsh conditions. "What? Do you despise people from the countryside?" Daisy Zane turned her head and looked at him with a cold tone in her voice. "No." Kevin rk looked back at her, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. "I''m more afraid that Miss Zane despises us dissipated sons." Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze and looked forward, a trace of a smile hovering at the corner of her mouth. Seeing her smile, Kevin rk also followed suit with a soft chuckle. The little girl looked even more beautiful when she smiled; she ought to smile more often. Though their conversation wasn''t heavy, their walk together felt remarkably harmonious. Kevin rk walked Daisy Zane to the entrance of her residentialplex and watched as she entered. He then phoned Allonzo Hobson, "Pick me up." On the other side of the call, Allonzo Hobson was speechless to the point that his mouth twitched, while he started the car, he quipped, "Just a while ago when I offered to drop you guys, you insisted on walking. Now that you''ve escorted her you can''t be bothered to walk these remaining few steps? So the whole point was that you found me a nuisance, right?" Kevin rk: "Now you get it." Allonzo Hobson: "......" Chapter 6 - 6: Celestial Pivot

Chapter 6: Celestial Pivot

The next morning, when Daisy Zane woke up, Robinson Scott had already left, but he left her breakfast. Daisy Zane, wearing a red silk robe, washed and rinsed, and used a disposable chopstick to tie up her hair before sitting down to eat breakfast at the dining table. She was eating and checking messages on her cell phone at the same time. Holt Lawrence: [The number of people issuing challenges recently is growing rapidly.] After saying that, Holt Lawrence also sent a file. Daisy Zane opened it casually and saw all kinds of names in variousnguages. She scrolled down a few times and found no end to the list, so she closed it. She replied to Holt Lawrence: [Oh.] Holt Lawrence responded quickly: [Please do us a favor,e out of retirement. Ease the workload of Celestial Pivot Detective Agency and let me keep my hair for a few more years.] Daisy Zane: [Issue an announcement, tell them. Celestial Pivot Detective Agency''s security system can''t be hacked. They are not qualified to challenge me.] After sending that message, there was no sound from Holt Lawrence''s side. Daisy Zane finished her breakfast, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and returned to her bedroom to change her clothes. She took off the sleeping robe and wore a silk camisole dress underneath. The thin straps on her shoulders made her beautiful corbones and fair right-angle shoulderspletely exposed. Around her neck was a red rope that didn''t go into her clothes, creating a strong contrast with her cold white skin. What was even more striking was the red tattoo on the back of her left shoulder. It was as big as a palm, and the shape of a crown. There were unique totems on it, solemn and noble. On her right shoulder, from the shoulder to her corbone were three long scars that looked like the marks of arge animal''s scratch, which had healed long ago, and the scars were extremely enchanting. In Daisy Zane''s wardrobe, besides a few casual wear, almost all were skirts of various styles and colors, too many to wear out. She casually picked one, put on a mask, and went out. As she was approaching the entrance to the residential estate, Holt Lawrence called her. Daisy Zane answered, saying: "Aren''t you also quite idle, you still have time to call me." "..." Holt Lawrence said annoyedly, "If I didn''t even have time to make a phone call, do you want to kill me with exhaustion, and then inherit Celestial Pivot?" "I don''t need to inherit. It was originally mine," said Daisy Zane nonchntly. "You lost to me." Before Daisy Zane appeared, Holt Lawrence was a world top hacker. The nickname LUO at that time was enough to scare other hackers. He founded Celestial Pivot Detective Agency in his twenties, almost mastering the intelligence information of the whole world. As long as Celestial Pivot took the order, they could reverse-search any information the client wanted. Everyone respectfully called him Boss Lawrence. But six years ago, Holt Lawrence met Daisy Zane, who challenged him at his doorstep, codenamed Nathan Ninevara. She didn''t issue a challenge, but directly hacked into Celestial Pivot, invaded hisputer, and made it clear that her purpose was to crush him with an overwhelming attack. From then on, Nathan Ninevara became famous overnight. "I..." Holt Lawrence had no way to refute this fact, so he swallowed the anger that came up and said, "Be serious, aren''t you afraid that someone will break through Celestial Pivot''s security system?" Although it was frequently attacked, Celestial Pivot''s status was still there, and most people were still very wary of it. But if they published it now, it would be like inviting attacks. By then, the effect would be like poking a thousand wasp nests. Daisy Zane left the residential estate, walking on the road, shielding her eyes from the sun and said slowly: "If you can break it too, I''lle out of retirement immediately." Holt Lawrence gasped. Daisy Zane was not arrogant, but confident enough. It''s been five years since Nathan Ninevara finished the security system for Celestial Pivot and then disappearedpletely. During these five years, the security defense system has not been upgraded, and even Holt Lawrence couldn''t breach it. Nathan Ninevara doesn''t need to appear; his position remains unattainable by others. "I''m fine, hanging up now." Daisy Zane said. "We finally have a phone call, let''s chat a bit more." "I don''t want to chat with a single man who''s already forty." Daisy Zane moved her phone away as soon as she finished the sentence. As expected, a roar came from the phone: "I''m only thirty-eight this year! I''ll be thirty-nine in just two months! Who''s forty?!" After roaring, Holt Lawrence hung up the phone forcefully to show his anger. Daisy Zane looked at the disconnected phone, raised her left eyebrow, and put the phone back into her skirt pocket. ... Daisy Zane went to Truro University''sboratory again and stayed there for a whole day without eating lunch. When she left, it was past 9 PM. There were many students, couples, friends, and confidants in the campus... asionally, there would beughter. They all belong to their unique happiness and joy. Daisy Zane wore a mask, covering half of her face. Walking in the campus, it seemed like she was blocking everything around her, being calm, cold, and indifferent. As she was about to reach the entrance, someone suddenly called out to her. The somewhat familiar voice was filled with doubt and exploration. Daisy Zane turned around and looked at the person behind her. It was the woman beside Amelia Miles that day at the Doomsday Hotel. "Is it really you?" rissa Mason walked over in her high heels and stood in front of Daisy Zane, "What are you doing here?" Perceiving malicious intent, Daisy Zane didn''t want to waste time with her. She nced at her and was about to leave. But when rissa saw her leaving, she quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop her: "What are you doing? Can''t you hear me talking to you?" Daisy Zane stopped and looked at her. rissa Mason crossed her arms and looked Daisy Zane up and down. After a while, she scoffed, "What? Dressed like this to pretend to be a college student in the university? What a pity, you are uneducated and can never fit in. Do you think the wealthy kids outside are fools? Would they believe you?" "What''s your name?" Daisy Zane asked. "You don''t recognize me?!" rissa Mason suddenly stood up straight and raised her voice. Daisy Zane''s tone remained the same: "Should I know you?" "You, you..." rissa Mason had been in quite a few shows and was quite well-known. Arrogant as she was, she suddenly stuttered when someone didn''t recognize her, "So ignorant!" "Are you studying here?" At this point, rissa Mason raised her chin boastfully, "Yes. A genuine Truro University student in the Department of Performing Arts. Something someone like you who never went to school can''tpare to." Daisy Zane lifted her mask a little, and gently said, "As a girl, it''s better to keep your thoughts clean." "What do you mean?!" "Read more books." rissa Mason suddenlyughed: "You''re telling me to read more books? Can you even recognize all the words? Who do you think you are? Daisy Zane, you''re just a bastard daughter of the Miles family. Do you think you''re a youngdy of the Miles family? Give up on that idea, the Miles family will never acknowledge you, and you and your mother are stains on the Miles family." Daisy Zane, who had been listening to her nonsense casually, suddenly had cold eyes, her beautiful phoenix eyes exuding a chilly aura. Chapter 7 - 7: Meeting on the Balcony

Chapter 7: Meeting on the Balcony

"What are you trying to do!" rissa Mason felt a sense of pressure, facing Daisy Zane''s cold eyes, which left her stunned in ce. Those eyes were only lightly gazing at her, but they seemed like a bottomless abyss, hiding a lethal silence that sent chills down one''s spine. Daisy Zane took a step forward. rissa suddenly felt the urge to flee, but her legs wouldn''t obey, unable to move. It was as if every pore on her body was bearing the pressure and coldness from Daisy Zane. "You, you..." The streemps at school were bright, driving away the darkness. But rissa felt as if she was surrounded by darkness. At that moment, voices suddenly sounded from a distance. "Is that rissa? It looks like her." "Yeah, she''s a student in the Sophomore Performance Department, it must be her." "Ah I can''t believe I met the goddess. If I go say hi, will I disturb her too much?" "No, rissa is really nice and gentle." "I''ll take a few photos first." ... These voices snapped rissa back to her senses. It felt like escaping from the enormous shadow of Daisy Zane. It was at school, with so many people and surveince. What could she do? What was there to be scared of? Moreover, her fans were present as well. Even if this person caused her any trouble, her fans would help her out. Maybe she could even gain some sympathy and attention in the process. rissa forced herself to calm down and retorted somewhat weakly: "Don''t scare me. I won''t be afraid!" Hearing footsteps approaching, Daisy Zane''s impulse was suppressed as well. She lowered her eyes, pinched her fingertips, and whispered, "Speak less, and stay alive. Understand?" The voice was soft, but it was chillingly fierce. Standing close together, rissa held her breath and clenched her hands tightly. For a moment, it felt like the person in front of her could take her life. "rrissa..." A timid and shy voice sounded. Daisy Zane didn''t linger, turning around and leaving. Only after a few female students called out a few more times did rissa regain her senses, hastily turning to feign a smile. The girls immediately expressed concern: "rissa, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?" rissa shook her head with a smile, nced at Daisy Zane''s receding figure, and then weakly replied with a hint of helplessness and vulnerability: "I''m fine." ** Daisy Zane grabbed some food outside, and it was almost 11 o''clock when she returned to the Evesting Pce. She took a shower first, changed into a sleeping robe, and wrapped her hair in a turban. Then she sat down on the carpet next to the sofa and started organising today''s experiment reports on theputer. At almost midnight, she closed theputer and checked messages on her phone. She had not checked her phone since leaving Truro University. Around 9 o''clock, the Old Master of the Miles Family sent her a message. [Lucia, tomorrow is your grandfather''s birthday. We''re thinking about having dinner together at the Sky Rights Hotel. Juste over, there won''t be any outsiders, only our close rtives. Let me know your address, and I''ll arrange for a driver to pick you up.] Three minutester, another message from Johanes Miles came. Johanes Miles was Amelia Miles'' father, and also her biological father, by blood. Johanes Miles: [Tomorrow is your grandfather''s birthday. The Anning Faction and the Hobson Family will be there. Don''te over. Think about how to exin it to your grandfather.] The Anning Faction was Amelia''s future inws, and John Anderson''s father was the Mayor of Truro City. Even though the Miles family held a strong position in Truro City in recent years, the Anning Faction was always on the list of those they tried to win over. As for the Hobson Family, they were Johanes'' inws, living in the Imperial Capital. The current status of the Miles family was in no small part thanks to the contributions of the Hobson Family. Naturally, as her illegitimate daughter and the stain on Johanes Miles'' life, she wouldn''t be allowed to attend such an asion. Daisy Zane didn''t reply to either message. She stood up and took off the turban, throwing it on the tea table. Her long, raven hair cascaded down, almost reaching her waist. Half-dried, the fluffy and soft strands hung down in a somewhat disheveled state. She poured herself a ss of wine in the kitchen, then headed to the balcony. Leaning her arm on the railing, she enjoyed the night breeze while looking out at the view of the entire Truro City. It should have been a pleasant experience as the wine flowed down her throat, yet there was a faint hint of brokenness in Daisy Zane''s eyes. Unintentionally revealed. She brushed her fingers against the pendant around her neck, through her clothes. Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening from the balcony next door. She instinctively turned to look... There stood a familiar figure on the adjacent balcony, making a phone call. A silk ck shirt, dress pants, one hand in his pocket, standing straight, an ethereal aura surrounding him. Daisy remembered that no one had lived next door when she bought her home. She had no idea when someone had moved in. Perhaps it was because Daisy''s gaze was too bold and obvious, Kevin rk, who was on the phone, suddenly looked over... Those narrow eyes, cold and piercing gaze, he appeared highly aggressive. But this aggression dissipated in an instant when his eyes met Daisy''s, reced by gentleness and a touch of surprise. He said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, hung up, then turned to face Daisy. "I didn''t realize I lived so close to Lady Zane." Daisy straightened her body, tucking the wind-blown loose strands of hair behind her ear, and arched an eyebrow at the sound of his voice. Ever since the night Kevin had escorted her home, she had suspected that he might be living in Evesting Pce. But she hadn''t expected it to be such a coincidence. "You''re not asleep yet?" Kevin nced at the wine in her hand. "I can''t sleep." Daisy lifted the ss, "Do you want to drink some?" Kevin''s eyes always seemed to carry a smile when he looked at Daisy. Upon hearing her question, he hesitated before saying, "Is it convenient at thiste hour?" A hint of amusement tinted the corners of Daisy''s eyes as she said, "It''s notte. A new day has just begun." "So... should Ie over?" "Mhm." It was only when Kevin pressed the doorbell that he realized he might have been a bit impulsive. Knocking on a youngdy''s door at thiste hour... it wasn''t quite gentlemanly behavior. But... oh well, he couldn''t care too much about that now. Daisy opened the door, now wearing home clothes. She stepped aside to let Kevin in, grabbed a pair ofrge disposable slippers from the shoe cab, and said, "Make do with these." Kevin nced at her shoe cab, filled with women''s shoes, and bent down to change his shoes, saying, "Thank you." Daisy walked towards the kitchen, asking, "What kind of wine would you like?" "You have every kind?" "More or less." Kevin was slightly surprised by her response. He walked into the living room and said, "Whatever you like, I''m fine with anything." Daisy casually grabbed a bottle of red wine and ced it with two wine sses on the living room tea table, saying, "Feel free to sit down and make yourself at home." Kevin sat on the sofa and nced at the bottle of wine. A seven-figure-priced wine. Daisy used a corkscrew with ease and familiarity to open the wine, pouring a ss for him before filling her own,menting, "It''s not bad." Her sitting posture was formal, but her actions were brisk. Kevin took a small sip and asked, "How''s your alcohol tolerance?" "Quite good," Daisy replied, her phoenix eyes teasing, adding, "Good enough to invite an unfamiliar man into my home for a drink." Kevinughed, his lips as red as cinnabar, all the more enticing, "It seems I don''t have a good image in Lady Zane''s heart." "Yeah, Third Master''s reputation isn''t the best." Chapter 8 - 8: The Fairy Clan Next Door

Chapter 8: The Fairy n Next Door

The imperial Truro City Leafield Family had been merchants for generations, and their wealth could be piled up into dozens of golden mountains. By Kevin rk''s generation, Kevin''s older brother had joined the military district. In the Imperial Capital, the mention of the rk Family could only invoke awe. But... Kevin rk''s reputation wasn''t that good. Kevin rk was born quitete, by the time he was born, his big brother''s child was already two years old. It was rumored that the rk Family doted on their youngest son to the extreme. So much so that they spoiled him rotten. Very few had seen Kevin rk''s true appearance, but a widely circted saying about him stated that Third Master rk was idle, fond of wine and women, and ruthless. He spent his days guarding dozens of acres of lotus flowers like treasures, acting like a spendthrift. Daisy Zane was not sure about the other rumors, but she was sure that Kevin rk wasn''t that idle. "So, Lady Zane has also heard of it." Kevin rk took a sip of his wine. "I heard a bit about it." "Actually, many of these rumors are not true." Kevin rk had never paid attention to these rumors that had been circting for more than a decade, but now he suddenly felt the need to exin. "For example?" "For example..." Kevin rk shook the red liquid in the wine ss with his long fingers, "Today is the first time I''ve had a drink alone with a girl." The tone was very serious, without any frivolous teasing. Coupled with his already pleasant voice, it was very soothing to listen to. Daisy Zane had no resistance to his face, and his voice... She was a little curious about how there could be a person whose every feature hit her aesthetic sweet spot. After looking at him for a while, Daisy Zane reached out and clinked sses with him: "Congrattions on your first." Kevin rk was amused by her andughed, the red wine in the ss trembling along with hisughter: "Thank you. It''s an honor." Kevin rk didn''t stay long. After finishing his ss, he left. Daisy Zane sent him off at the door, and after returning to the living room, she nced at the wine ss on the tea table before heading back to her room to sleep. ... The next day, Daisy Zane slept until past eleven o''clock. If it weren''t for the knocking on the door waking her up, she would probably sleep until the afternoon. She groggily opened the door to see Robinson Scott standing at her entrance, still wearing his mask, and his revealed eyes were shining brightly. "What''s wrong?" Daisy Zane leaned against the door, her eyelids still heavy. "Sister! There''s a fairy n living next door!" "Huh?" Daisy Zane simply closed her eyes. "No, wait, it''s Lucia! Lucia!" Robinson Scott shook her awake by her shoulders, "Really, I just saw someone living next door when I came up, oh my god! How can a man be so good-looking? He''s definitely the reincarnation of a fairy, born specifically to tempt and confuse people. He just looked at me once, and my soul followed him." Daisy Zane peeled his ws off her body, pressed her temples, and passively epted Robinson Scott''s statement: "Put your soul back, don''t scare people during the day." "Lucia, why are you siding with others?" "Maybe he''s just too handsome." Daisy Zane wasn''t angry when she was shaken awake by Robinson Scott, so she went out to pour herself a ss of water to drink. Robinson Scott followed her, taking off his mask: "You''ve seen him. When did you see him? Why didn''t you tell me? A handsome guy''s face should be shared!" Daisy Zane nced at him, and Robinson Scott immediately became more honest, whispering: "Lucia, you''re such a face dog!" Daisy Zane epted it once again: "What brought you back to Truro City?" "Oh, there''s a shipment at the dock tonight." Robinson Scott spoke and suddenly noticed the wine and two wine sses on the tea table, "Lucia, who were you drinking with?" Daisy Zane nced at it, her gaze lingering on one of the sses for a moment, and spoke softly: "The fairy next door." There was a momentary silence in the room, then Robinson Scott walked up to Daisy Zane with an incredulous face: "Lucia! You actually brought a man home!" Not only was Robinson Scott surprised by this issue, but Daisy Zane hadn''t figured out why she had invited Kevin rk overst night. "It''s really a fairy n after all." Robinson Scott stared at the wall separating them from the neighbor, squinting his eyes and grumbling through gritted teeth. Daisy Zane: "..." Maybe so. ** Evening Daisy Zane went to meet her agent, and coincidentally, the agent set the meeting at Sky Rights Hotel''s private room. In the afternoon, Daisy Zane sent Old Master Miles a message, informing him that she won''t be going over tonight. Agent named Hill Dawson, thirty-eight years old, well-maintained skin, slightly overweight. Stern when not smiling, but kind when heughs. Daisy Zane arrived at the private room, after ordering the dishes, Hill Dawson thanked her first, and then talked about work-rted matters with her. The conversation seemed normal, but almost every sentence was probing Daisy Zane. Probing her true character, her intentions, her development direction, her private life, and even her bottom line. But Daisy Zane remained calm, only revealing to Hill Dawson what she wanted him to know. After finishing the meal, the two parted ways, and Hill Dawson stood exhausted at the hotel entrance, not wanting to move. It didn''t feel like she had just enjoyed a meal but rather that she had fought a battle and had been thoroughly defeated. She thought the resume she received might be wrong - this was no naive twenty-five-year-old girl. Instead, this was a mysterious and inscrutable tiger. ... Over at the Miles Family, Old Master''s birthday went without grand celebrations. The Hobson and Miles families wanted to take this opportunity to have a meal together with the Anning Faction, hoping to strengthen their bond and inquire about a piece ofnd in Truro City, eager to learn the government''s intentions. However, they didn''t know Harry Anderson well enough. He is famous for his integrity and impartiality since joining politics. Let alone their rtive status, he hasn''t even given favors to his own brothers over these many years. It''s not a groundless rumor that rtives say he''s cold-blooded and ruthless. Even in dealing with his son, John Anderson, their rtionship is clearly divided due to John''s startup. When seeing his son, he would advise him to behave, otherwise, he would be ruthless towards his own kin. So, the Miles and Hobson families tried beating around the bush during the meal but got nothing out of Harry Anderson. When they wanted to inquire further, Harry skillfully blocked their attempts. Having traveled a long way from the Imperial Capital, the Hobson family was frustrated, yet they still had to smile and keep up appearances. After dinner, the three families left, with the Miles and Hobson families heading to the parking lot. Harry Anderson had to go to another cityter, so he stayed behind to talk to his son, John Anderson. ... Parking Lot Amelia Miles held her mother''s hand and chatted with her uncle, her voice sweet and delicate: "Uncle, Uncle Anderson also has his difficulties. When you hold a high position, you''re under close scrutiny." "Hmph, he''s just inflexible,cking adaptability, and not knowing how to prioritize. Don''t our family''s high status secure his position in the future? " "Uncle, don''t be angry," Amelia Miles said, "I will find an opportunity to ask again." "Yes, brother," Amelia''s mother said, "Amelia is about to marry into their family, so we''ll be one big family. No matter how stubborn he is, he can''t possibly neglect his own son, right? Blood is thicker than water." "Our Amelia is just so capable, marrying so well." "Isn''t it because of the good genes from our family?" Amelia Milesughed obediently, quickly cheering up the Hobson family with a few words. As the two families talked andughed, moving towards the parking lot, Amelia Miles suddenly noticed someone standing next to a car not far ahead, facing away from them and making a phone call: "Hey? Isn''t that my sister?" At her words, everyone turned to look. Johanes Miles'' face immediately crumbled. "Sister?" Amelia''s uncle squinted for a closer look, "That... what''s her name, Tang... Tang... Daisy Zane?" "Yes." Amelia answered, then suddenly raised her voice and called out, "Sister!" Her voice echoed loudly in the empty parking lot, resounding with a faint echo. Johanes Miles was already in a bad mood. Seeing her only made it worse. He originally wanted to pretend not to see her and let her leave, but Amelia suddenly called out; he didn''t even have time to stop her. Chapter 9 - 9: Harry Anderson Provides Support

Chapter 9: Harry Anderson Provides Support

Daisy Zane, who rarely drove, took her car out for a spin today. She received a call while she was in the parking lot, so she answered it then and there. Unexpectedly, she bumped into them. Having said just a few words to the person on the line, Daisy hung up and they showed up. Daisy took a quick nce; the Hobson couple, a family of three from the Miles family and Old Master Miles along with a nanny and housekeeper. "Olivia, what are you doing here?" Old Master Miles supported himself with a cane and smiled kindly after seeing her. "I''m meeting a friend." "Let me introduce you to some people." The Old Master turned to the Hobson couple. Johanes Miles pulled at his father''s clothes from behind, but the Old Master ignored it silently. "These are your Auntie Horton''s brother and sister-inw. This is Olivia, Sophie Johnson''s elder sister." The Hobson couple smiled faintly at Old Master Miles, but when they turned their eyes to Daisy, they showed disdain and dislike. They didn''t say anything. Daisy didn''t want to know them either, and didn''t even look at them while the Old Master introduced them. Seeing her like this, Johanes frowned in discontent, "Don''t you know how to greet your elders?" "Dad, I guess my elder sister is just not used to talking to strangers." Amelia Miles exined. Johanes snorted coldly. Old Master Miles didn''t care what they thought, he spoke to Daisy alone, "Are you leaving already? Let the driver give you a ride." "No need." Today, Daisy wore a light purple dress that tightly wrapped her waist. There was an air of dominance in her aloof demeanor, "I''ll be going first." After speaking, she nodded slightly towards Old Master Miles, walked two steps towards her car, and pressed the car key. The Crystal Purple Ferrari in the parking space lit up. Everyone was surprised, especially Amelia Miles, whose pupils trembled. Just as Daisy was about to reach for the car door, Amelia suddenly spoke up, "What a beautiful car sister has! Was it given to you by a friend?" Her voice sounded sweet but it was ufortable to listen to. Daisy paused and looked at her. Amelia tilted her head and said with a smile, "Your friend is very generous, gifting you such a nice car and letting you live in the Doomsday Hotel. I''m so envious." As soon as Amelia''s words fell, her Aunt mockingly said, "What kind of friend is this, showering you with both a luxury hotel and car, something I''ve never encountered in all my years." Some things Amelia''s mother shouldn''t say, as it would damage family harmony. But the Hobsons, supporting their sister, had no qualms about speaking up. After the aunt finished speaking, she immediately exchanged a nce with her mother. Johanes couldn''t keep his face straight. He walked forward and interrogated, "Where did you get the car?" In Johanes'' eyes, Daisy had spent over twenty years in the countryside before moving to Truro City less than three months ago. A poor girl like her could only obtain a fancy car like this and live in the Doomsday Hotel through illegitimate means. They, on the other hand, would not even normally indulge in such luxuries. Adding in Amelia''s words, He seemed to be sure that Daisy hadn''t been doing anything legitimate with her appearance. "Where did you get the car!" Daisy looked straight into his eyes as she observed the red, resentful expression on his face. It suddenly struck her as funny. Amelia pursed her lips, lowered her head, but couldn''t hide the triumph in her eyes. "Johanes, shut up! Don''t you know how to ask nicely?" said Old Master Miles. "She has done something indecent, and I can''t even mention it. To throw her face away for some cash, I, Johanes Miles, don''t have a daughter like that, I''d kill her today," he raised his hand as he spoke. Daisy''s indifferent expression suddenly turned vicious. But just as his hand was about to fall, Harry Anderson''s voice suddenly sounded. "Lucia?" Johanes''s hand paused in mid-air as everyone else looked towards the source of the voice. Harry hurried over. Seeing Johanes''s raised hand, he frowned, "What''s going on?" "Mayor John," said Johanes as he lowered his hand. He looked somewhat embarrassed, "It''s just a family matter." Amelia saw John Andersoning, she went straight to his side, looking frightened like a little girl. John asked, "What happened?" "My older sister and my dad had a conflict." Amelia worriedly replied. John Anderson narrowed his eyes, wondering what could have led to a physical conflict. Harry Anderson stepped to the side, blocking Johanes Miles and asked Daisy Zane in a low voice, "Are you okay?" His tone was cautious. John couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth several times, wondering when his father would ever speak to him with even a fraction of the gentleness he showed now. He would be more than satisfied with that. The people from the Hobson and Miles families were obviously taken aback by Harry''s concerned tone and they were all somewhat dazed. It was Old Master Miles who spoke up first, "Mayor John, you know Olivia Brown?" "Yes." Harry didn''t give a detailed exnation and, looking at Johanes Miles, his tone was cold and even the usual courtesy between inws was absent. "Director Miles, no matter what the reason, hitting someone is always wrong. Besides, she''s just a girl. "Mayor John, this..." Johanes rubbed his hands together, smiling stiffly, "Yes, I was too impulsive just now." Concerned about the rtionship between the two families and not wanting to cause trouble for Daisy Zane, Harry didn''t say anything else. He turned to Daisy and asked, "Do you need someone to take you home?" "I drove here." Daisy Zane nodded towards her car. "Okay, drive carefully on your way back," Harry admonished. "Make sure to drive slowly, don''t run red lights, and pay attention to the road conditions." Daisy Zane gave a faint nod, her demeanor as cold and detached as usual when dealing with people. She didn''t look at the group, instead getting in her car and starting it up. Then she rolled down the window, looked at Johanes Miles, and said coldly, "If you''ve never fulfilled your duty as a father, don''t try to act like one. It''s shameless behavior." After saying this, she gave a slight nod to Harry and drove away. The remaining people exchanged nces, their faces not looking so good. Especially Johanes Miles, whose face was flushed and his muscles twisted in anger. He had lost face in front of the Hobson family, in front of Harry, and had been scolded by his illegitimate daughter. With so many people around, he couldn''t vent his anger and had never felt so suffocated before. Harry waited for Daisy''s car to disappear from view before addressing the group, "I have to catch a flight soon, so I''ll be going." "Mayor John, you''re busy, carry on," Johanes Miles said. Harry nodded to him and walked towards his car. The Hobson and Miles families were both silent. Old Master Miles, not wanting to deal with them, had the housekeeper apany him as he walked away with his cane. Amelia Miles stared in the direction Daisy had left. Harry had never been so cautious when talking to her. So, why did an illegitimate daughter deserve such treatment? After a while, she suppressed the anger in her heart, took John''s arm, and asked with a smile, "Uncle John knows my sister?" At this question, John suddenly remembered something his father had said to him once. "Don''t tell anyone that I know Daisy Zane, or I''ll kill you." "I don''t know," Johnughed. "My father never talks to me about his affairs." Amelia smiled and lowered her head, saying nothing more. ** Daisy Zane returned to Evesting Pce. In the elevator, she felt a little ufortable and her waist ached. She calcted the days and figured her period was about to start. She was a bit annoyed. The elevator stopped on the twenty-seventh floor. The door opened, and Kevin rk stepped in. Seeing him, Daisy checked the elevator floor number again. Kevin also hadn''t expected to run into her. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "I''ve also bought this floor." "...Oh," Daisy thought, you''re rich. "Just one floor, by the time the elevatores, you could have walked up the stairs." The elevator opened again on the twenty-eighth floor, and they walked out together. Kevin admitted, "I''mzy." "It seems like it," Daisy noticed that whenever she saw him, her mood would improve significantly. Indeed... being good-looking had its uses. "What''s wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Kevin asked. "Huh?" Daisy looked at him. "You don''t look well." "Oh." Daisy touched her face and said, somewhat unconcerned, "Maybe I''m just a little tired." "Then, get some rest early, and don''t stay up toote." Daisy nodded unenthusiastically. Seeing her evasive response, Kevin''s tone became even gentler, "Listen." His gentle tone was a little intoxicating. Daisy looked at him, and saw that his usually imposing eyes were now filled with a gentle smile as he regarded her. This made her, usually immune topliments or criticism, a little unable to resist, "Okay." Chapter 10 - 10: This Beam Has Been Set

Chapter 10: This Beam Has Been Set

After taking a bath at home, Daisy Zane went straight to sleep. It was past two o''clock in the morning, and she woke up with a stomachache. Sitting on the bed for a while, she got up and went out of her bedroom to find some medicine. As soon as she stood in the living room, she heard the sound of the door opening. She looked towards the entrance of the living room and soon saw Robinson Scott appear in the doorway, dressed in ck. Wearing a mask and a high ponytail, a hint of murderous intent lingered in her deep eyes. "What happened?" Daisy asked, looking at her. "Haven''t you gone to bed yet? Just saw from outside, the lights in the room were all off." Robinson also didn''t change her shoes, sat on the sofa, took off her mask, and started taking off her coat. When her left hand came out of the sleeve, she frowned and winced. "Are you hurt?" "Just a minor injury." Robinson untied the makeshift bandage of a hair tie on her arm, and blood instantly dripped onto the carpet, "It hurts quite a bit." Daisy furrowed her brows, fetched a medical kit, and sat next to her, "Give me your hand." Robinson stretched out her arm: "I was set up by someone from Dark Radiance, not only did I not get the goods, but I also got injured. Ah! Daisy, be gentle." The color of Daisy''s lips turned a bit pale, her expression several times colder than usual: "Why did people from Dark Radiance alsoe?" "I don''t know. Dark Radiance has always been doing their own thing, hard to figure out their moves. Their big boss is even more mysterious than you, so well-hidden that we still don''t know if they''re human or ghost." Robinson said, "But well, we''ve made enemies today." "Take care of your injuries first." "Alright, I''ll stay here and y with you for a couple of days." The wound wasn''t very deep, but it was somewhat long. Daisy quickly treated it for her, put the medical kit back, and went back to her room to change her clothes, then came out with a backpack. Martin boots, ck pants, white tracksuit. These clothes didn''t quite match. Seeing her outfit, Robinson straightened her body: "Daisy, what are you going to do?" Daisy put on a mask, picked up the car key that Robinson had thrown on the tea table, held the backpack in her hand, and said: "Teaching them a lesson." "Ah." Robinson had her mouth half-opened, watching Daisy leave, took a while toe to her senses and said to the empty house, "Ah, then... be gentle." ... Parking lot. Daisy got into the car that Robinson had driven, wiped off the blood on the steering wheel. Then she took a ck coat from her backpack, put it on, and called Holt Lawrence while starting the car. "Tonight''s goods at Truro Pier, the destination." Her voice could freeze ice. "Let me check." Holt was taken aback by her voice, didn''t waste words, and the sound of typing on the keyboard came from the phone. Half a minuteter, he said: "South Town, Birch Manor. Just received a batch, another batch is on the way. About twenty minutes." Daisy calcted the time. It would take at least half an hour to get there from here, crossing Truro City. There was enough time. "Got it." She hung up the phone, and the car reached the main road. The streets were exceptionally quiet in the early morning. Daisy floored the elerator. ... Fifty minutester, Arthur North, who was fast asleep at the Evesting Pce, was awakened by the ringing of his phone. He leaned back against the head of the bed, his eyes slightly red. He nced at the name disyed on the iing call and picked up, "What happened?" "Third Master, Birch Manor has been attacked." Michael Jackson sounded a bit nervous, and his voice was a little shaky. "Who did it?" "I don''t know." Michael said, "The other party was very cautious, they went into the manor and started hitting anyone they saw." "What about Thomas Firway?" Arthur pressed his eyebrows. "Thomas, Thomas... Thomas had a head-on confrontation, broke two ribs, and was sent to the hospital." Michael''s tone sounded like he had given up, "Almost everyone who confronted the other party was injured, and they''re being sent to the hospital in batches. Oh, the other party also left a message on tonight''s batch of goods." Dark Radiance''s Top Fighter, who swept across continents, had two ribs broken and didn''t even know who the other party was. "What did they say?" Arthur''s usually low voice was now chilling and frightening. "Say, say that tonight''s batch of goods will be given to us, to offset medical expenses." "Check which forces are at the pier tonight," said Kevin rk, "Thomas Firway injured someone, right? Focus on them." "Yes." ** When Daisy Zane came back, she changed her clothes and went straight to sleep. She didn''t wake up until 2 PM. As soon as she came out of her room, she smelled food. Putting everything else aside, Robinson Scott, a young man, is a great cook. Daisy Zane was hungry, she poured a ss of water and sat down at the dining table, waiting for a meal. When Robinson Scott came out with a pot of soup, he saw the person sitting at the table. Maybe it was because she just woke up, but she was not as cold as usual. Her hair was a bit messy, with a dazed expression, which made her somewhat cute. Robinson Scott thought his filter was too thick, he even thought the big boss was cute, he must have gone crazy. "I was going to call you in a bit." "How''s your arm?" Daisy Zane filled a bowl of soup and started drinking without even lifting her head. "Not a big problem." Robinson Scott quickly brought out a few dishes he prepared in the kitchen, along with two bowls of rice. Sitting down, he said, "Daisy, I have to tell you something important first." "Hmm?" Daisy Zane ate her food leisurely, every move was pleasing to the eye. "You know who the fairy next door is!" Without waiting for her to answer, Robinson Scott blurted out the answer, "It''s Kevin rk!" "How did you find out?" Daisy Zane looked up at him. "I went downstairs to pick up takeout and happened to see theming out of their room," Robinson Scott said, "I''ve never seen Kevin rk, but I''ve seen his assistant, Michael Jackson several times." "Oh." Daisy Zane finished her soup and began eating the rice. Seeing her reaction, Robinson Scott said, "You knew all along?" "I wouldn''t drink with a man without even knowing his name." "But you still yed with him!" Robinson Scott said seriously, "That''s Kevin rk! Let''s not even talk about his romantic history. With his ruthless and devilish methods, Daisy, you need to stay away from him. When he''s cruel, he doesn''t recognize family and has no heart." After taking a bite of rice, Daisy Zane paused and said, "I know." "What do you know?" "His reputation is particrly bad." "......" Robinson Scott was speechless, her lips even quivered for a moment, "Daisy, have you been bewitched by his beauty? I''m telling you the truth." "He is quite good-looking," Daisy Zaneplimented in her cold tone. "You!" Robinson Scott stood up, with her hands on her hips, "Don''t you think I''m good-looking?" "You''re good-looking." "Who''s better looking, me or him!" For some reason, Robinson Scott suddenly feltpetitive. Daisy Zane looked up at her and then lowered her head again, picked up a piece of meat, and said, "Let''s eat." "You..." Robinson Scott stood there for a while, thinking that the fairy might be a bit more good-looking and sat down, "I''m serious, be careful of him." "Hmm," Daisy Zane responded casually, "Who knows who should be careful of whom." Robinson Scott was taken aback. She knew very well about Daisy Zane''s methods, but Kevin rk was too frightening, evil and sinister. Instinctively, she worried about Daisy Zane and wanted her to stay away from him. But if she looked at the situation objectively... She was kind of looking forward to the two of them shing. Oh, it should be quite exciting. Chapter 11 - 11: Red Cliff Village

Chapter 11: Red Cliff Vige

Daisy Zane stayed at home for two days without going out, but she was not idle. She spent her entire days with herputer. Robinson Scott, on the other hand, couldn''t stay still. He had visited almost every bar and nightclub in Truro City in two days. They both agreed to hang out together, but their schedules were entirely opposite, hardly bothering or seeing each other. On the third day, Daisy Zane was called away by a phone call from her agent. Her agent informed her that there were a couple of good scripts at thepany, and he wanted her to take a look and consider auditioning. As it happened, Daisy Zane saw Kevin rk heading out as she was leaving her home. There was also another person with him. It appeared to be Michael Jackson who Robinson Scott had referred to as the special assistant. He was good-looking with elegant eyebrows and bright eyes. He was a very gentle and refined person. Kevin rk wore a ck shirt, his figure slender and his waist a bit slim. His expression was serious one moment ago, but when he saw Daisy Zane, he immediately put on a smile: "Are you going out?" Michael Jackson followed behind him. He was initially surprised by Daisy Zane''s appearance but was suddenly startled by Kevin rk''s voice. He quickly looked at Kevin rk. "Yeah, going to thepany." "On my way, I could give you a ride," offered Kevin rk. Daisy Zane''s eyebrow raised slightly as she tucked her cell phone into her skirt pocket before giving a nod. As the two headed out, Michael Jackson went to press the elevator button. Kevin rk couldn''t help but smile as he recalled her just now putting the cell phone in her skirt pocket. The youngdy was unlike any other girl he had ever met. Cool and aloof yet fond of wearing skirts, with an exclusive kind of handsomeness radiating from her attire. She didn''t like wearing makeup but was still very fashionable. She always wore distinctive, meticulously designed, high-end skirts. Every skirt had a seamless pocket tailored to her height and proportions. Regardless of the style, the pocket would always be in the same position. Perhaps this was ording to her preferences, as she never carried a bag. When they reached the parking lot, Kevin rk opened the car door for Daisy Zane to get in before circling around to the other side to enter the car himself. Michael Jackson, who had never had to open the car door for his master before, was evidently a little unustomed. He rubbed his sweaty hands on his clothes before getting in the car and starting the engine. "Head to Maple Elite Entertainment," ordered Kevin rk. "Yes, Third Master," replied Michael. "Do you have a job?" Kevin asked Daisy. "Hmm," Daisy answered softly. "There is a script. My agent asked me to take a look." "Tell me if you decide to take the job; I will secure an investment position." Daisy Zane looked at him. Kevin rk looked back with a smile, "Lady Zane''s show is sure to be popr. I n to make a fortune." Their eyes met, and after a little while, Daisy Zane said: "Give me half of the money, and I''ll tell you." "So ruthless?" "Yes." "Alright. I''ll wait for Lady Zane to make me some money." Daisy Zane ignored him and looked out the window, giving a softugh after a moment. They encountered a traffic light, and Michael Jackson rubbed his sweaty hands on his clothes again. Who could save him? He had never seen the Third Master like this. He was scared. ... Upon entering the Maple Elite Entertainment building, Daisy Zane immediately received a message from Holt Lawrence. [I found some information about 319.] When she saw the message, Daisy was already inside the elevator. She quickly exited and called Holt from the outside of the building. "Tell me." "Samuel Gray was at the bar when he saw people trading the elixir," exined Holt. "Then, he infiltrated their ranks. However, within a month, all he could do was scratch the surface. Thetest information he gave me was that all the elixirs are transported from a vige called Red Cliff Vige. But he still hasn''t found out the exact location in the vige." The temperature was already quite high around ten o''clock. As Daisy watched theing and going of vehicles on the road, her eyes turned icy cold, pushing back some of the sunlight''s warmth. "Understood," said Daisy. "Tell Samuel Gray to stay safe." "I mentioned to youst time that someone is buying this news. I haven''t taken any orders yet, and the price has increased tenfold. Should I give it to them?" Holt Lawrence asked. "Up to you." Daisy Zane replied. "Alright, the other party seems quite rich, I''ll wait a bit more before taking an order." "Um, hang up." After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane stood outside for a long time. It was so long that the outside temperature could melt a piece of ice before she turned around and entered the Maple Elite Entertainment building again. ... Hill Dawson didn''t have a separate office, so the two of them went to the meeting room. Daisy Zane flipped through the two scripts in front of her. Both scripts were good, and it was obvious that Hill Dawson put effort into them. Both were roles of female leads with cool and cold personalities. It was quite close to her usual image. "Actually, this ancient-themed script is easier." Hill Dawson pointed to one of them and said, "Olivia Chester also liked the other script. She is familiar with that production team, and her artists are all very popr. In this age of poprity, producers will definitely choose those with higher poprity. Even if you go for an audition, the chances of getting in are slim." Daisy Zane nodded, in fact, both scripts were fine, one was ancient-themed and the other was set in Ennd. Just by looking at the script, she liked both. These were all scripts negotiated by thepany. Daisy Zane flipped through them and found detailed information about the productionpanies at the back. The director group, screenwriter group, costume and makeup group, and even the shooting locations were listed. Initially, Daisy Zane wanted to follow Hill Dawson''s arrangement. However, when she saw the words "Red Cliff Vige" written in the shooting location column behind the Ennd-themed script, she immediately changed her mind. "Actually, we can audition for both. You never know, just in case..." "No." Daisy Zane pushed the script to Hill Dawson, "I''ll go with this one." Hill Dawson frowned, "Are you sure? Why?" "I have a preference for this one." "But it''s risky." Hill Dawson''s frown deepened. "We can try both." "Just this one." Daisy Zane''s decisive tone carried a cold persuasiveness that made it hard to refute, "I''ll audition for the role of the supporting female." "Supporting female?" Hill Dawson flipped through the script. The supporting female was the female lead''s sister. On the surface, she was an actress, but secretly she was an undercover agent who eventually sacrificed herself. The role had a heavy presence, but all her scenes were in the male and female lead''s memories, running throughout the entire plot. The character was not much different from the female lead. It was a good role. But why not take the female lead role instead of the supporting female? Hill Dawson didn''t understand, "Are you serious?" "Yeah." "Well...okay." Hill Dawson looked at the script for a while before giving it to her, "I''ll let you know when I have audition news. You can go back first if there''s nothing else." "Hmm." "Hey? Wait a minute. This role has a lot of action and opera scenes. You..." Hill Dawson looked her up and down, "If you don''t have a dance foundation, the audition might be eliminated." Hill Dawson had seen her resume, where she had hardly learned anything. It was true. Every year film and dance schools produce arge number of beautiful young girls. Graduates or not, they were all professionally trained. Daisy Zane had no advantage in this role whatsoever. As Daisy Zane stood in front of her, Hill Dawson couldn''t imagine her moves and actions under the opera costume. If she were the director, she would never use someone who needed a substitute everywhere except for her face. "Ah, it''s fine, I have a lot of experience fighting." After saying this, Daisy Zane left, leaving Hill Dawson pondering over her words. What''s the use of having fighting experience? Would she fight the director into using her if they didn''t want to? Hill Dawson felt a headacheing on. It was hard to get work finally, and it turned out to be such a strong-willed person. She wanted to refute just now, but when she met those cold eyes, she swallowed her words back. Chapter 12 - 12: Quite Annoying

Chapter 12: Quite Annoying

Upon leaving Maple Elite Entertainment, Daisy Zane just descended the steps when a red Bentley stopped in front of her, causing her skirt hem to billow. "Sister. So you came to thepany?" Amelia Miles stepped out of the car. Daisy Zane nced at her then looked away, focusing on the messages on her phone, making it clear that she didn''t even want to spare her another look. Yet, Amelia Miles insisted oning closer. "Sister, find some time to go home," Amelia Miles said. "Ever since we metst time, our grandfather has been angry at our father and hasn''t spoken to him. The atmosphere at home has been tense these past few days. You should go and appease grandfather." After reading the messages on her phone, Daisy Zane walked away, bypassing Amelia''s car. Amelia Miles couldn''t believe that she was being ignored. A fleeting shadow of resentment crossed her eyes and she followed after Daisy, agitatedly. "Sister, wait for me. I haven''t finished speaking." Despite wearing five or six centimeters'' high heels, Daisy Zane walked briskly. She was almost at the roadside when Amelia Miles finally caught up, "Daisy Zane, I''m calling you, can''t you hear?" "Is the act over?" Daisy Zane asked, turning to her. "You..." Amelia Miles was slightly out of breath, her face grim and haughty. "Why bother? Even if you don''t hate me, you certainly don''t like me. What''s with the fake affectionate sister act?" Daisy Zane said, "Do you think I, a poor innocent girl who hasn''t seen the world, will be grateful for a few ''Sister'' from you, letting you manipte me at will?" Amelia Miles was provoked by her words, and her animosity was immediately exposed, "Daisy Zane, what are you so proud of? Do you think grandpa inviting you home makes you the pearl of the Miles family? Let me tell you this. Even if Dad agrees, as long as my mother does not approve, you can forget about stepping foot in the Miles'' house." "Who treasures the Miles family that much?" Daisy Zane scoffed, "A family like that, even one step is too filthy for me." "Then what are you doing in Truro City! Your words don''t match your thoughts!" Amelia Miles retorted, "Daisy Zane, you''re just an illegitimate daughter. No matter who youtch onto, you can''t escape your status as an illegitimate daughter, you and your mother, will forever be the home wreckers, despised by all!" "Is that so?" Daisy Zane calmly contrasted Amelia Miles'' agitation, "You better remember what you just said." "What''s the meaning of..." "Daisy." A familiar gentle voice interrupted Amelia Miles. Both women looked over. A Maybach was parked not far down the road. Kevin rk was standing next to the car, and not far behind him was Michael Jackson. Tall, slender and enchanting, he was indescribably beautiful. "Daisy" was watching, unavoidably clicking her tongue in her heart. She had noticed the familiar car earlier, but from her position, the license te at the back was blocked by a stone bench. She was too preupied with arguing and didn''t give it a second thought. Amelia Miles was also stunned momentarily looking at the man, with no immediate response. Daisy Zane ignored Amelia Miles, approached Kevin rk and slightly tilted her head up to look at him, "Daisy?" "Yes, Daisy." Kevin rk maintained a smiling demeanor, "I can call you that right?" Daisy Zane nodded, "You can. It sounds rather nice." Kevin rkughed gently at that. "Why are you still here?" asked Daisy Zane. "I thought you wouldn''t take long reading the script, so I made a round and came back." Kevin rk opened the car door, "Shall we eat?" Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow and got into the car. Watching the car drive away, Amelia Miles finally snapped out of her shock. Staring at the Maybach, she angrily kicked the nearby flower bed. "What''s there to show off about? Just a Maybach worth over a million, acting like it''s worth a fortune. Really thinking she hit the jackpot, such a penniless and uncultured girl," she huffed. ... "Don''t you have something to do?" Kevin rk brushed off his trousers, leaning back on the seat and instructed, "Michael Jackson, drive to the Doomsday Hotel." "Yes, sir." Michael Jackson epted the instructions without a hup. Since his master moved his schedule to the afternoon and asked him to make a U-turn back here, he already had it all figured out. This Miss Zane, by surname Tang, she is certainly the backbone that he ought to cling to. Although her background isn''t the ideal, it''s uncertain what the situation is like in the Imperial Capital? Upon hearing the term "Doomsday Hotel," Daisy Zane eyeballed Kevin rk. Even though she remained silent, the look deep within her eyes seemed to speak. Why does a meal have to be so extravagant? Kevin rk perceived her thoughts through her insignificant emotional fluctuations and responded, "This mealpensates for the paid watchingst time." He was referring to the time he helped the police catch someone at the alley entrance. "I said it happenstance." "Mm, but I listened intently." "..." Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze and remained silent. Alright, you''re rich. The car drove steadily on the road, the sun asionally shone through the gaps between the leaves into the car interior. Daisy Zane noticed a beam of light on her body and slowly moved her hand into it. As her fingers curled up slightly, trying to grab it, the light suddenly disappeared. She took her gaze away and looked at the passing vehicles outside, asking, "Did you hear our conversation just now?" Kevin rk had been watching her actions from the corner of his eyes. Hearing her speak, he turned his head and replied, "Mm, I did. You sure know how to annoy others." Daisy Zane: "......" "Do I need to pay for this too?" "....." Daisy Zane gave him a look, the corner of her mouth slightly uplifted, "I''ll give you this one for free." Kevin rkughed, warmly saying, "Okay." ** Over at the Miles family household, Johanes Miles was only allowed in after visiting Old Master Miles''s residence for two consecutive days. Even after he was allowed in, he was met with cold nces that were hard to digest. Old Master Miles sat on the sofa in the living room with a long face, refusing to look at Johanes Miles. Johanes Miles sat opposite him, pleading, "Dad, please calm down. Take care of your health." "Huh, not like you''re any better." "Dad, I admit, I was a bit impulsive that day," admitted Johanes Miles, "But think about it. She lived in the Cold Green Vige for over twenty years, never leaving once. How could she possibly drive such a nice car and stay at the Doomsday Hotel?" "So, based on a car, without any substantial evidence, you directly concluded that she''s been up to no good?" Old Master Miles reproached, "Would you have thought this way if it were Amelia?" "How can she bepared with Amelia?" In Johanes Miles'' heart, Amelia Miles was a good and understanding child. "I''m not diving into that with you." Although Old Master Miles was furious, at the end of the day, Johanes was his son. He hoped for nothing but the best for him, "What''s more important is Harry''s attitude towards her, you must have seen it. When in all these years has Harry ever seen anyone with the same air?" Johanes Miles stayed quiet, he couldn''t make sense of it either. Old Master Miles took a sip of tea and said, "She vanished from the Cold Green Vige for a year after her grandma passed away. We have no clue where she was during that time. No matter the rtionship between her and the party backing her, regardless, this is someone who can even make Harry bow his head. This proves that she''s not ordinary, which confirms that the Grand Master on Five Peaks Mountain was correct." Johanes Miles frowned and after a period of silence, he finally said, "Charles won''t let her into the family home. There will definitely be a fuss." Charles Hobson happened to be his current wife. "Johanes, you should broaden your horizons a bit. You should know better than anyone that for the Miles family to climb further, it has be quite a challenge for us." Old Master Miles spoke in a deep, serious tone, "The Hobson family has done everything they could to help us. You should consider other avenues. Someone whom even Harry holds in esteem is definitely much more useful than the Hobson family." Johanes Miles stayed silent. "You should think about it carefully," Old Master Miles got up as he spoke, "I told you a long time ago not to let a woman destroy your promising future and thriving career." Chapter 13 - 13: Identity Material

Chapter 13: Identity Material

Regarding food, Daisy Zane''s requirements had always been low; she could eat just about anything. If she thought it tasted good, she would eat more; if not, she''d eat enough to be full. However, Kevin rk had a very high standard of living, with even the cheapest food being worth thousands. As Daisy Zane sat in the Doomsday Hotel''s private room on a chair worth seven figures, she perused the gold-edged menu. In her heart, she rebuked the extravagant Doomsday Hotel for the ten thousandth time. The soup they ordered was served first. Kevin rk unbuttoned his cuffs and folded them twice, revealing a slim and strong forearm. Hedled a bowl for Daisy Zane first: "Give it a try; the taste should be decent." "Thank you." Daisy Zane had a taste, and it was indeed delicious; thus, she drank a few more mouthfuls. Today, her hair wasn''t tied up. As she drank more soup, her hair kept falling down. She subconsciously felt her pocket and realized there was no hair tie. She started thinking about using chopsticks instead. But after ncing at the expensive chopsticks, she abandoned the idea. Too expensive. Noticing her series of small actions, Kevin rk sent a text message to Michael Jackson. Five minutester, a knock sounded on the private room door. Michael Jackson entered and stood beside Kevin rk: "Third Master, here''s what you asked for." In his hand was a small stash of purple hairbands, some deeper in color and some lighter. Kevin rk picked one that was closest to Daisy Zane''s skirt color and handed it to her: "Here." When Michael Jackson brought the hairbands for Kevin rk, Daisy Zane was looking out the window. She didn''t expect that they would actually be hair ties. She subconsciously looked at the stash in Michael Jackson''s hand. "... ... ..." Michael Jackson ced the hairbands in his pocket, nodded to the couple, and left the private room. Daisy Zane took the hairband from Kevin rk''s hand and tied her hair up without saying anything. Throughout the meal, Kevin rk took care of Daisy Zane attentively. Daisy Zane seemed to be ustomed to such care; she politely resisted at first, butter allowed it. Initially, Kevin rk wanted to use this meal to understand her dietary preferences and see if there were any particr foods she avoided or favored. But besides discovering that she had a big appetite...there were no other findings. She demonstrated fairness and impartiality toward all types of food. After leaving the Doomsday Hotel, Kevin rk dropped Daisy Zane off at the Evesting Pce. He waited for her to enter the residential estate, then the car turned around and drove off. The gentleness in the car had also disappeared along with Daisy Zane. Kevin rk''s natural aura was powerful, with an oppressive air of superiority. However, when faced with Daisy Zane, he would consciously restrain himself. His eyes were narrow and seductive, wicked and piercing. When not smiling, there''s an eerie chill: "Have someone look into her rtionship with the Miles Family." "Yes, Third Master." Michael Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more ustomed to this version of Third Master. ... After returning to the Evesting Pce, Daisy Zane sat on the carpet beside the sofa and read the script from start to finish, getting a general understanding of it. When she read it a second time, she made a few simple notes. Her handwriting wasn''t very pretty, but it was neat. She wrote slowly, stroke by stroke. Past two o''clock, Robinson Scott floated out of the guesthouse, refreshed after a drink of water, and began rummaging through Daisy Zane''s wardrobe. "Daisy, you haven''t updated your clothes for half a month now." "Mm," Daisy Zane responded casually. "When will the new ones arrive?" Robinson Scott shouted from the bedchamber. "Soon, I guess." After a while, Robinson Scott came out with two light purple dresses in her hands, standing in front of Daisy Zane, "Daisy, which one looks better on me?" All the clothes in Daisy Zane''s wardrobe were arranged by color. For every color, there were usually ten to more than twenty different styles of dresses, as well as one or two sets of casual wear. The general style leaned towards traditional, even though there were trendy designs, it would also involve traditional elements. Thetest batch was all in light purple, with only seven dresses so far. Daisy Zane looked up at the dresses in Robinson Scott''s hands, then lowered her head, "Both are pretty, take them both." "Alright." Robinson Scott hugged the clothes and walked toward the guesthouse, then turned back halfway to give Daisy Zane a flying kiss. Daisy Zane was like an emotionless iceberg, begrudgingly epting her flying kiss. As soon as Robinson Scott returned to the guesthouse, Daisy Zane''s cell phone rang. She nced at the screen, it was a call from Johanes Miles. Without any hesitation, she pressed the hang up button. However, after about five minutes, he called again. Daisy Zane''s eyebrows flickered slightly as she looked at the name on the iing call disy and answered, "What do you want?" Her voice was very light, seemingly indifferent. Johanes Miles was on the other side trying hard to restrain something, taking a good while to finally speak, "Let''s meet at Sky Rights Hotel tomorrow." "Alright, what time?" Johanes Miles''s tone was cold, "At noon, twelve o''clock." As soon as the word "noon" was uttered, Daisy Zane hung up the phone and continued reading her script. Johanes Miles, on the other hand, was at hispany, looking at his disconnected cell phone and threw it away in frustration. ** In the evening, at the Evesting Pce. Kevin rk was in the study room processing files, with an incense burner filled with eaglewood on his desk, surrounded by a gentle smoke. It was peaceful and elegant, asionally punctuated by the sound of a pen scratching against paper. The room door was gently tapped open from the outside, and Michael Jackson entered, standing by the desk and said, "Third Master, I have found information about Lady Zane." Kevin rk''s pen paused, and then he twisted the pen closed, set it aside, and looked up at Michael, "Tell me." "Miss Zane''s mother''s name is udia Zane, and shemitted suicide when her daughter was less than a month old," Michael said. "Since then, Miss Zane was raised by her grandmother in the Cold Green Vige where she lived for more than twenty years. ording to the investigation material, Miss Zane never left Cold Green Vige and has no record of attending school. Her information is very simple. She didn''t even have her ID card untilst year. The year beforest, Miss Zane''s grandmother passed away. Miss Zane disappeared for a year and arrived in Truro City three months ago." "Suicide? Why?" Kevin rk asked. "ording to the information I found, the forensic doctor''s conclusion is suicide due to severe depression," Michael flipped through the material in his hand and said, "I don''t know the reason, but there is one strange thing. udia Zane was married to Johanes Miles before his current wife, Charles Hobson. However, Johanes Miles''s son is three months older than Miss Zane." Johanes Miles had a son and a daughter with Charles Hobson. The son was three months older than Daisy Zane. In other words, while Johanes Miles was married to udia Zane, he fathered a child with Charles Hobson first, andter on with udia Zane. Andter, Charles Hobson became his official wife, while udia Zane was designated as the third party. Kevin rk''s right index finger tapped on the table repeatedly, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, "He really didn''t miss either side, not neglecting anyone." Michael stood quietly, not making a sound. After a moment, Kevin rk asked, "Is there any trace of her information being altered?" "No, it''spletely true, with no traces of alteration," Michael confirmed. Chapter 14 - 14: Exchange Contact Information

Chapter 14: Exchange Contact Information

There was a significant discrepancy between Daisy Zane''s demeanor, upbringing, and conversation and her experiences as shown on her record. In particr, Kevin rk could sense a story behind her, unlike someone who had never experienced anything in a poor vige all day long. "What''s her grandmother''s background?" Flipping through the files in his hands, Michael Jackson said, "Her grandmother''s name is Victoria Zane, a mixed-race woman with unknown parents. She was sold to Cold Green Vige. But at that time, the vige was closed and feudal. Because she had half foreign blood and looked more Western, the family who bought her didn''t want her. She settled down outside the vige andter found udia Zane and adopted her." "So her grandmother and she have no blood ties." "Yes," said Michael Jackson, "Her grandmother was quite visionary and always encouraged udia Zane to study. At that time, udia was the only college student who made it out of Cold Green Vige, which was quite sensational. udia met Johanes Miles while studying in college, and they got their marriage certificate after graduation." So when Michael Jackson contacted someone for information on Cold Green Vige, the local officials had a deep impression of them and knew a lot about them, so they found the information quickly. "Why didn''t they send Daisy Zane to school?" "It might be because her age was too high, andter on, she had some health issues. When Lady Zane was younger, the government subsidized their lives," said Michael Jackson, "Later on, when Lady Zane grew older, she supported the two of them." Upon hearing this, Kevin rk retracted the finger tapping on the table and slowly clenched his hand. In the quiet study, a thin smoke floated from the incense burner on the table, rising and eventually dissolving in the air. The scent of eaglewood filled the room. After a while, Kevin rk asked, "Why did they say she disappeared for a year?" Even if her grandmother passed away and left Cold Green Vige without news, it shouldn''t be called disappearing for a year. Michael Jackson said, "The Miles Family had been looking for her sincest year because a grand master on Five Peaks Mountain calcted a fortune for Old Master Miles. It said that the family had a daughter outside with the star of the Emperor, and bringing her home and treating her well would guarantee the Miles family''s prosperity for a hundred years. It''s their most significant turning point. Johanes Miles didn''t care, but Old Master Miles kept searching for her until three months ago when Lady Zane came to Truro City. The Miles family contacted her and conducted DNA identification." "Did shee to Truro City by herself?" "Yes, during that year, Lady Zane seemed to disappear without a trace." Kevin rk remained silent with furrowed brows. Michael Jackson stood quietly for a while, then said cautiously, "Though Lady Zane had a bit of a tough life and never went to school, she appears to be well-educated." Many viges in the countryside now have good living conditions, but Cold Green Vige is different. It''s too poor. A young girl, taking care of her grandmother while making a living. "Give me the materials," said Kevin rk, "You can go." "Yes," Michael Jackson put the materials on the table and left the study room. Kevin rk flipped through the files, seeing a ck and white one-inch photo attached to Daisy Zane''s information. At that time, she was only three or four years old with short hair. As time passed and all the information was brought in the form of photographs, the features in the picture had be somewhat blurred. Only a row of neat little teeth could be seen. They were shown with a smile. At that time, she was entirely different from now, even though she couldn''t see clearly, she felt very happy with the smile. Kevin rk looked at the picture for a long time, then closed the materials,ughed helplessly, and murmured to himself, "Why is she so attractive?" ... When the doorbell rang, Daisy Zane was studying the terrain distribution of Red Cliff Vige. She opened the door without looking who it was. Kevin rk stood at the door, still smiling. He saw Daisy Zane''s expression paused,ughed and said, "You opened the door without looking who it was." "Forgot," Daisy Zane said. "Don''t forget, even though security is good here, you should still be careful if you live alone." "Yeah." Daisy Zane responded casually, obviously not taking it to heart, "What''s up?" "I wanted to have a drink." Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. Kevin rk said with a smile, "It''s less than two hours till a new day, so it shouldn''t be consideredte." Daisy Zaneughed and stepped aside to let him in. The disposable slippers from Kevin rk''sst visit were still in the same spot, untouched. Kevin put them on again and entered the living room. "Sit down, and I''ll grab the wine." "Okay." Daisy Zane grabbed a random bottle of wine and two wine sses. When she returned to the living room, Kevin was sitting on the sofa, looking at her script ced nearby. He didn''t touch it, just nced at the page she had opened. Daisy Zane ced the wine on the tea table and fetched a corkscrew from below: "Feel free to look." "I''ll do it," Kevin offered. Daisy Zane didn''t hesitate to hand him the corkscrew and the wine. "The script seems pretty good," Kevinmented as he opened the wine. Daisy Zane looked at his slender, fair fingers as he applied a little force, and his knuckles bulged, showcasing strength yet still being elegant. Her gaze was direct: "It''s decent, quite urate." After opening the wine, Kevin poured a ss for her, "Is the role you''re ying a Peking Opera female character?" Daisy Zane nced at the script, which only contained one line of opera lyrics C an umon one at that. Someone unfamiliar with it would have assumed it was just dialogue. "Do you know much about opera?" Kevin swirled the wine in his ss, clinked it lightly against Daisy''s, and took a sip: "My mother used to be a famous Peking Opera actress in the Imperial Capital. It was hard to get a ticket in her heyday. I grew up listening to her." Daisy Zane was only familiar with the power distribution in the Imperial Capital and not with every detail. She knew that the rk Family held a high status there, but she didn''t know much about Kevin''s mother. However, after hearing him say this, she seemed to have some impression, for some reason. "What is it?" Kevin noticed her furrowing her brow. Daisy Zane took a swig of her wine, got up from the sofa and sat down on the carpet casually: "Nothing. I didn''t realize Mrs. rk was so talented." "So, do you need advice from the son of a famous actress?" Daisy Zane looked at him. Her understanding of Peking Opera was superficial, and she needed a teacher. But... "Do you charge?" "........" Money seemed to be unavoidable in their conversations. Kevin saw that she was sincere in asking, "Tonight''s wine will cover it." Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, a fleeting joy of gaining an advantage shed in her eyes before she quickly resumed her indifferent demeanor: "When are you free?" "Whenever you are," Kevin said. "Let''s exchange contact information so we can arrange the time more easily." "Sure." Daisy Zane grabbed her cell phone and gave him her mobile number. Chapter 15 - 15: So Fierce

Chapter 15: So Fierce

After another ss of wine, Kevin rk left, and he took Daisy Zane''s script with him as he wanted to see what kind of scenes they needed. He returned to his room and called Michael Jackson to arrange a practice room, and then began to read the script. The notes on the script were written in an immature handwriting that resembled that of an elementary school student, but nheless neat. Apart fromments, there were also a few suggestions for changes. Very serious. As Kevin rk looked at the words on the script, an image of Daisy Zane using a pen, looking cool and indifferent while writing the notes, crossed his mind. Suddenly, a character on the script caught his attention. The word "" in "" written by Daisy Zane was followed by an upward hook in the character. The hook was very obvious, seemingly a habit. Kevin rk''s gaze lingered on this character. The message on the batch of goods from Birch Manor: "Today''s shipment is for you to offset the medical expenses." The words were most likely carved into the box with a dagger. And the character "" in "" also had a noticeable hook. However, the two styles of writing were quite different. One was like that of an elementary school student, whereas the other had a majestic and grand aura, as if written by a man. It must be a coincidence. Kevin rk didn''t pay much more attention and continued reading the script. ** The next day at noon, Daisy Zane went to Sky Rights Hotel to meet Johanes Miles. She arrived at the private room punctually, and Johanes Miles was already waiting inside. As they sat face-to-face, Johanes Miles tried to maintain a natural expression: "I ordered a few dishes just now, take a look and see if there''s anything else you want to eat." His tone was quite awkward, as if he had a knife at his neck, forcing him to sit there and talk. "No need." Daisy Zane sat in her seat with her legs crossed and her hands in the pockets of her skirt. "Just tell me what you have to say. I have other things to doter." Johanes Miles, already over 50 years old, had traces of age on his face but maintained a good figure and handsome appearance. Hearing Daisy Zane''s cold words, he frowned slightly. "How about I speak first?" Daisy Zane suggested. Truthfully, Johanes Miles did not really want to share a meal with her. Although he was dissatisfied with her attitude, he didn''t say anything and just nodded. "Have you met my grandmother before?" "Why are you asking this?" Johanes Miles asked defensively. "I want to know if she has any other rtives." Daisy Zane''s indifferent eyes were slightly cold, as was her voice. "Did my mother ever tell you anything about my grandmother?" Johanes Miles rxed slightly, but still hesitated for a moment before answering: "I saw her once when I picked you up. Your mother told me that your grandmother had been sold to Cold Green Vige. In those times, everything was underdeveloped and nothing wasplete. Such things weremon in remote areas." As he recalled udia Zane and some events from the past, Johanes Miles'' expression darkened. A mixture of guilt and difort overcame him, and the annoyance in his eyes when he looked at Daisy Zane diminished. In a low voice, he said: "Your mother told me that your grandmother had only one daughter, and no other rtives. That''s why she didn''t think about escaping back then. Even if she had, she had nowhere to go. So she settled down in Cold Green Vige. Your mother once wanted to bring her to Truro City, but she refused." Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, unsurprised as her grandmother hadn''t told her mother anything either. She was just holding onto a glimmer of hope and hade to ask. "Didn''t she ever tell you anything?" Johanes Miles asked. "No." Johanes Miles sighed: "Even if we could find any rtives, what''s the point after fifty or sixty years? Time is enough to erode all feelings." "Tell me about your matter." Johanes Miles was still immersed in memories of the past when he was suddenly interrupted by Daisy Zane''s voice. He snapped out of it and nced at Daisy Zane''s expression, which remained unchanged from beginning to end. Cold and aloof, as if she didn''t care about anything. He took a card from his pocket and put it on the table, saying, "There''s 500,000 in here. Consider itpensation for all these years." Daisy Zane looked down at the card. "I know, what I owe you for all these years can''t be made up for with just this," Johanes Miles said. "Take this for now, and I''ll transfer 50,000 every month. You can also let me know if you need money." Daisy Zane slightly hooked the corner of her lips: "And then?" "You don''t need to go to John Anderson''spany anymore. I''ll pay the liquidated damages for you," Johanes Miles said. "I''ll arrange a good job for you, stable, free, and easy. It''s steadier, more leisurely, and safer than filming." "You''re afraid if I show my face, your scandals will be exposed," Daisy Zane said softly. Exposed, Johanes Miles'' face tightened and he hesitated before saying, "What''s so good about filming? It''s day and night when you''re busy, and when you''re free, you can''t guarantee a living. You have no private life, and everything is stripped away for everyone to discuss. I''m doing this for your good." "Alright," Daisy Zane looked at him and said, "Give me a share of everything you give Amelia Miles, including the shares of Miles Group. Then I won''t go filming." "You''re delusional!" "Well, there''s nothing more to talk about. If you can''t treat me like your daughter, why should I listen to you?" Daisy Zane mocked him and pushed the bank card he ced on the table back, "You think you can buy my heart with this little money and make me work for the Miles family. You''re delusional." After saying that, Daisy Zane got up and walked out. ustomed to people ttering him, Johanes Miles rarely experienced such humiliation. The veins on his forehead tightened as he looked at the entrance and said, "Daisy Zane, don''t be ungrateful. I''ll tell you, without my permission, you won''t be able to stand your ground in Truro City." Daisy Zane opened the door and didn''t look back, justughing, "You can try!" Johanes Miles watched the closed door and picked up a ss from the table, mming it down hard, "I''d like to see what a little girl like her can do." ** Standing at the entrance of Sky Rights Hotel, Daisy Zane touched the red rope hanging around her neck, feeling that she hadn''t performed well just now and hadn''t angered Johanes Miles enough. "Tsk." She clicked her tongue impatiently. At the same time, her cell phone rang, and she picked it up. "Have you eaten?" Kevin rk''s voice came through the phone. Daisy Zane''s irritated mood was calmed by half, "Not yet." "Together?" "I''m not at home." "Mm, neither am I," Kevin rk said with a smile in his voice. "Look right." Daisy Zane turned her head, and Kevin rk was walking towards her. He was wearing a white shirt today, with the top button undone. Broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, and long-legged, he stood tall, his eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and his lips like cinnabar. Compared to the ck shirt, he was a bit less mysterious and oppressive, and a bit more elegant. Daisy Zane hung up the phone and waited for him to approach, asking, "Are you doing something here?" "Mm, I met someone." Kevin rk looked at her, "Who upset you?" When he hade over, he had sensed an icy and violent aura from afar. "Met an idiot." For the first time, Kevin rk heard Daisy Zane''s slightly sulky tone, and he was a bit surprised, "Did you lose an argument?" Daisy Zane looked up at him, a faint murderous intent in her eyes. "So fierce," Kevin rk''s hand hanging by his side clenched a little, afraid he couldn''t resist pinching her face. Looking away, he said, "Where''s the person? I''ll go beat him up." Seeing his suddenly serious expression, Daisy Zaneughed and turned to walk to the hotel, "I''ll treat you to dinner." Seeing herugh, Kevin rk also curved his lips and followed her, saying, "Okay." Chapter 16 - 16: Foolish People, Lots of Money Chapter 16: Foolish People, Lots of Money Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios As the two ate, Harton rk asked Michael Jackson to check the surveince at Sky Rights Hotel to see who Daisy Zane had just met. Watching the surveince footage sent by Michael Jackson, Daisy Zane looked furious when she left the private room. Harton rk sent Michael Jackson a message. [Press all the important projects held by Miles Family and snatch all the ongoing deals.] Do you have timeter? Daisy Zane asked, I have an audition tomorrow afternoon. So soon? Harton rk put away his cell phone, used the public chopsticks to pick a piece of fish and debone it, I asked Michael Jackson to find a practice room, lets go there after we finish eating? Where is it? Just nearby. Harton rk put the deboned fish in front of her. Seeing her hesitating, he asked, Whats wrong? My skirt is too long. Daisy Zane frowned, Ill buy some clothes at the mall next doorter. Her skirt was too long, making it difficult for her to learn various steps, walking posture, and bending. She couldnt just lift her skirt up. Seeing her suddenly a little annoyed, Harton rk asked, Dont you like shopping? Its troublesome. So many clothes, yet she found shopping troublesome. Harton rk smiled and said: Why dont we go home first, the practice room key wont be ready until two. Daisy Zane looked at him, and the annoyance between her brows disappeared: Okay. They returned to the Evesting Pce, Daisy Zane went home to change clothes, while Harton rk waited outside without going in or returning to his own home. Two minutester, Daisy Zane came out wearing a casual outfit, ck pants, a white shirt, and her hair down. A simplebination, yet she looked both clean and stunning in it. Lets go. Daisy Zane said. Okay. They went down together, and as they reached the parking lot, Michael Jackson was on the phone. Seeing theming, he said, Okay, I know, Ill tell Third Master, gotta hang up first. As they got into the car, Harton rk looked at Michael Jackson, What happened? Michael Jackson nced at Daisy Zane through the rearview mirror, clearly a bit guarded, and then looked back at Harton rk without speaking. Harton rk said: Just say it. Celestial Pivot has taken the order. Michael Jackson said, They also responded immediately. Go on. Harton rk said. Michael Jackson nced at Daisy Zane again, paused for a moment, and said, They know about a transaction location. Where is it? Michael Jackson licked his lips, looking straight ahead, Holt Lawrence said, the specific location of the transaction is another price. Knowing she was chatting with Holt Lawrence, Daisy Zane heard this and was like: How much? One hundred million. Harton rks eyes narrowed, and he let out a lightugh, So, my two hundred million was just for buying an order ess. Daisy Zane looked at her phone, deleting the words she had just typed one by one, and re-typed a new line. [Are you going crazy with poverty?] [Not at all, Ive met a super-rich tycoon recently and made a huge profit.] Holt Lawrences joy could be felt even through the screen. Give it to him. Harton rk said. The rules of the Celestial Pivot Detective Agency have always been to charge freely. If you can afford it, the information is yours; if you cant, stay far away. Michael Jackson replied: Yes. Daisy Zane nced at Harton rk, muttering inwardly what a fool to have so much money. In the script, the character Daisy Zane had to y gained fame with a song called Overlord Bidding Farewell to Hannah Campbell. The night before the characters sacrifice, she also sang a segment of the song to persuade the King to drink wine and listen to Hannahs song. The sound died out, the person is gone. Although many other pieces of Peking opera are still needed. But this is the climax. So if auditioning, the director will definitely choose this one. And this is mainly about Hannah Campbells sword dance. Daisy Zane thought it was just her and Kevin rk, but when she got to the practice room, she found another person. In her forties, dressed in practice clothes, with an average appearance but a great temperament and good posture. Arthur North. Seeing the twoe in, the woman smiled, her voice gentle and pleasant. Senior sister. Kevin rk called out, Sorry for bothering you. Its rare to have you ask me for help. The senior sisterughed, her gaze never leaving Daisy Zanes face, Im very happy. Daisy Zane didnt expect someone else, and this person was his senior sister, which means they were half family. She looked at Kevin rk to give an exnation. Meeting her slightly cold gaze, Kevin rk coughed: My level is really limited. I searched for a professional one. The senior sister saw Kevin rk like this and suddenlyughed, exining for him: Arthur Norths throat is very good. If he teaches you to sing, theres no problem. But when ites to movement and bodywork he can only watch, and hes very picky about it. Daisy Zane shifted her gaze to the senior sister and bowed slightly in politeness. Because of his throat, my Teacher always wanted to cultivate him as a sessor. But Arthur North has had his own opinions since he was a child and really dislikes practicing. Hes alwaysing up with ways to deceive my Teacher. The senior sisterughed, My Teacher often says that he was born with a good throat, but he doesnt have the fate for it. Senior sister, two hours. Kevin rk reminded her. This Senior sister had been studying with Kevin rks mother since she was very young. When Kevin rk was young, the senior sister often took care of him, so he respected her very much. OK, I know, I wont expose your shorings. The senior sister said, I had originally agreed toe here for a few days. But as soon as I arrived in the morning, I was notified at noon that there is a temporary performance in the Imperial Capital. Ill teach you first, then let Arthur North watch you practice. He cant teach, but hes the best at picking out mistakes. Ille back tomorrow. Kevin rk: Thank you. The senior sisterughed warmly, keeping the words We are all family in her heart. As Daisy Zane walked with the senior sister towards the center of the practice room, she reached into her pocket and saw that she hadnt worn a hair tie on her wrist. She had used a hairpin to tie her hair up in the morning and had thrown it on the bed when she went back to change her clothes. Here. Before the annoyed feeling could arise, Kevin rk handed her a hair tie. A ck one. ck is versatile. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane looked at the hair tie and smiled, epting it and tying a casual bun. And the senior sister looked at the two of them with a bigger and bigger smile on her face. In two hours, Daisy Zane studied very seriously, and she learned very quickly. Kevin rk watched her quietly from the side of the practice room, not saying a word, just keeping his eyes on Daisy Zane. Almost eight minutes of footage, footwork, positioning, movements, expressions C in two hours, Daisy Zane had almost learned everything. The senior sister kept praising her constantly. When leaving, Kevin rk sent her off, leaving Daisy Zane to rest in the practice room. As the senior sister went downstairs, the corners of her mouth were still raised: Arthur North, today I saw what it means that one thing ovees another. I have never seen you lower your head to anyone before. Kevin rk also smiled: Help me keep it a secret from my mom first. I know. The senior sister said gently, The girl is very good, beautiful, and smart. She learns everything quickly. And I think she should have a very deep foundation in dance. Kevin rk nodded. Ill leave the details to you. I wonte tomorrow. Alright, be safe on the road. Chapter 17 - 17: The One Who Should Smile More Chapter 17: The One Who Should Smile More Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Kevin rk has grown up amidst the Theatre Garden, absorbing its influence. Even though he is not that great himself, his eye for detail is sharp and picky. However fast Daisy learns, she stillcks the foundation of opera. Moreover, the teachings from her senior were limited to two hours only. So the only option left was to repeatedly practice this section. After seeing his senior out, Kevin saw Daisy continuously practicing without resting. He gave her a bottle of water, Take a break. Its not necessary. Daisy replied, taking a sip of water, Ill give my performance now, you watch. Kevin took the bottle from her smoothly, saying, Ok. In the next hour, Daisy didnt manage toplete her eight-minute performance. Kevin was very meticulous, going over every movement and every detail. Every time he corrected an error, they had to start all over again. The typical female sword posture requires the little finger to be curled up, Kevin said as he stood not far behind her, using his phone to control the music. Like this? Daisy followed his instructions. Bend it a bit more. Like this? Hmm. Kevin stood close, noticed a mole on the inner side of her right ring finger and gave it an extended look, then gently exined, Soften it a bit, dont be too rigid. This section is about persuading the king to drink wine, listen to music, watch a dance, to reduce his worries and sorrows. Its not about fighting. Daisy: Bend your right leg a little more. Draw in your waist a bit. Daisy moved ording to his indications, then she looked at his reflection in the mirror and said, I cant draw it in any more. The tone of her voice sounded like she wanted to fight with Kevin. He gave a smallugh, moved closer and gently touched her waist with his cell phone: Like this. Daisys eyshes moved slightly, she looked down at her waist. Kevin had courteously touched her with his phone and then moved away. Look in the mirror, Kevin instructed while looking at their reflection: Hold this posture for a minute. Muscle memory. Daisy stared at the mirror for a while before saying, Ok. Once again, she proved true his seniors words, Hes the best at pointing out others mistakes. Kevins voice was very gentle, patient, yet extremely strict. He deems any posture that misses even by a tiny bit uneptable. Luckily, Daisy was very capable of adjusting to his strict method and cooperated very well. The sword should be ced here. Put some strength in your wrist. Take smaller steps when you dance with the sword. Kevin noticed that every time she moved with the two swords, within ten seconds, she would unknowingly force it, exuding an aura of the underworld Make your movements more gentle. During this stage entrance movement, lift your arm a little higher, to this position. While speaking, Kevin lifted her wrist with the back of his hand. Daisys hair was a bit disheveled; the sweat had dampened her loose hair. She nced at his hand and gently agreed. Lets take a break. Im not tired. As Daisy spoke, she suddenly pulls up her hem to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She stopped mid-motion when she noticed Kevins surprised look and slowly lowered her clothes. Kevin truly didnt mean to look, but her action was quite abrupt, he wasnt able to react in time and identally saw a glimpse of her fair waist. He quickly averted his gaze, turned around, and grabbed a tissue. Holding the tissue in his hand, Kevin slightly squeezed it then quickly regained hisposure. As if he didnt see anything, he gave the tissues to Daisy: Wipe your sweat. Daisy took two pieces, wiped her sweat and said, Shall we continue? Mm. In the evening, the two ate in a nearby restaurant, rested a bit after eating, and returned to the practice room. All the movements had been corrected. Daisy not only had good memorization skills but also strong muscle memory. Almost every previously pointed out error was now wless. She just needed to repeat practice on her own. Gaining familiarity, getting a feel Kevin just watched her, ying music for her, and asionally giving a few pointers. Daisy, dressed casually but well-fitted attire, entuated her figure, slim waist, long legs, and fair skin. Perhaps because of her background in dance, her waist was very flexible, and she had no issues bending over. Her fingers were slender and her fingertips beautiful. Every gesture she made had a unique aesthetic appeal. The sound of the opera echoed from the speakers: Victory or defeat, rise or fall in a split moment. Rx and enjoy the wine under the shelter As Daisy turned around, Kevin idly said, Daisy, look at me, the depths of his eyes containing flecks of light. The light in the practice room was bright. making Daisys fair skin reflect light. She raised her eyes to look at Kevin whose tender lips are slightly curved and eyes sparkling withughter. Without any warning, Daisy found herself staring deep into his eyes, freezing in her posture. Kevin didnt move his gaze, watching her eyes gradually darken. He watched the sparkling sweat bead roll down her face, slide along her jawline to her neck, then disappeared into her clothes. Two secondster, he lowered his gaze, dispelling the impulse from his heart. Daisy also snapped back and straightened her body: Whats wrong? Eye contact. Kevins cheery voice turned a bit husky, The Overlord sits behind you. Remember to have eye contact at this point. Got it. Practice a couple more times and then we can head back. Mm. Daisy didnt finish until almost ten oclock. Kevin told her to dry her sweat before leaving. Whoever heard of being so delicate. Daisy mumbled. Kevin handed her the tissue. Hearing this, he smiled, Girls can be delicate. Daisyughed lightly, wiping off her sweat, and then tied her hair back up again. After that, she stood in front of the practice rooms French window and looked at the night view outside. Kevin quietly stood by her side, not saying a word to interrupt her. After a while, Daisy spoke, Why didnt you study opera? I was yful when I was young, felt it was too burdensome, Kevin said, looking outside, Later I realized I really couldnt learn it. My mom yed female characters, she thought my throat was good and always wanted to train me in that direction. But I didnt have the posture or the talent for it, anything I learned was simply awkward. To quote my mom, it was nauseating. Daisy turned to him, smiling, her gaze lingered at his waist as she said, Its pretty good. What? Nothing. Kevin didnt bother to dig deeper into what she was implying. Seeing her in a good mood, he said more, Despite all this, while suppressing her own disgust, my mom forced me to learn and grew more and more disgusted in the process. A deeper smile formed at the corners of Daisys lips. During that period, I had to constantly outsmart my mom. If she happened to get impatient, my dad would chase me all over the yard to hit me. Kevin smiled softly, It was only when my mom discovered that my niece was gifted that she let me off. She conned my niece from my older brothers home. Youd also get beaten up? No, my dads too old, he couldnt catch up to me. Daisyughed quietly, leaning against the rod. It was the first time Kevin saw herugh like this, which lessened her aloofness and made her even more stunning. Kevin watched her from the corner of his eye and thought to himself: She shouldugh more.. Chapter 18 - 18: No Small Strength Chapter 18: No Small Strength Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zane had mostly dried off from her sweat, and the two left the practice room. The elevator opened up in the parking lot, with Michael Jackson waiting outside for them, holding a suit jacket in his hand. Third Master, Lady Zane. Daisy Zane nodded in response, and Kevin rk took the jacket from his hand, draping it over her: You just sweated, it can be a bit chilly in the evening. Her shoulder weighed down a bit, the scent of Eaglewood became even stronger, cool and sweet, veryforting and reassuring. Daisy Zane actually didnt feel cold, but as he mentioned it, the post-sweat coolness felt a bit prating: Thank you. Once they were in the car, Daisy Zane took out her cell phone, checking the messages she hadnt seen today, selecting two important ones to reply to. Do you have practice tomorrow morning? Kevin rk asked. Yes. At the practice room or at home? Her home was actually spacious enough to practice in, but Robinson Scott would definitely be catching up on sleep during the day. At the practice room. Okay, replied Kevin rk, Get ready tomorrow and let me know on your phone, well go together. Sure. The car drove smoothly on the road, and Daisy Zane gradually warmed up. She didnt know if it was the fragrance of eaglewood that reassured her, or if it was just the fatigue from sweating all afternoon. It didnt take long for Daisy Zane to fall asleep, leaning against the seat. Her head tilted towards the window, her neck revealing a beautiful curve, an utterly defenseless posture. Seeing her fall asleep, Kevin rk nced at her for a moment. Her porcin-white skin, long eyshes, not very dense, her pink lips lightly pursed, even with her eyes closed, one could still sense the subtle coldness emanating from her. Kevin rk felt a bit puzzled, not knowing why this little girl was so attractive to him. She didnt have to do anything; just being there made him want to get close to her involuntarily. He even wanted to possess herpletely. Before meeting Daisy Zane, he had never thought about romance in his twenty-eight years of life nor made any ns in that regard for the rest of his life. However, all of this changed with that encounter in front of the Doomsday Hotel elevator. With just one nce, Kevin rks heart had be captivated. His cell phone rang, and Kevin rk slowly shifted his gaze away from her, checking his phone. He then set it to silent mode and replied to the message. Halfway to their destination, the coat draped over Daisy Zanes shoulders slipped off. Kevin rk noticed it immediately, looking down at his phone. He looked up, and in an instant, reached out to pull the coat back on her shoulders. But just as the coat touched her shoulder, Daisy Zanes hand moved, quickly and urately grabbing Kevin rks wrist. Then she opened her eyes and looked at Kevin rk. The interior of the car was a bit dim, with the asional yellow streemp shining through. Their eyes met, and Kevin rk directly felt the intense killing intent that burst out of her eyes. It was heavy. And because her eyes were a bit red from just waking up, they looked both fierce and evil. Like a bloodied wolf, emanating a strong, bloodthirsty aura. Michael Jackson noticed as soon as she made a move, his warm brows tightened and he immediately tapped the brakes. However, noticing that Kevin rk had no reaction, Michael Jacksons foot eased off and the car picked up speed again. Looking at her, Kevin rk asked gently after a short while: Did you have a nightmare? Her vision gradually cleared up, Daisy Zane looked at him, then saw her own hand gripping his wrist. She slowly let go, pulling at her clothes, saying, Im sorry. Its okay, replied Kevin rk, flexing his wrist, Are you tired? Im fine. Daisy Zane pressed her brow while her eyes still held a tinge of evilness. Seeing her like this, Kevin rk found a bag of candy in the car, opened it, and handed a piece to her: Have some candy. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, looking at the candy in the palm of his hand. A very small transparent package, without any pattern or character on it. Inside, there was a pink candy shaped like a peach blossom, very beautiful and lifelike. She hesitated for a moment before taking it, tearing it open and putting it in her mouth. The faint sweet scent spread in her mouth, and the Daisy Zanes aura dissipating a bit. Is it good? asked Kevin rk. Daisy Zane nodded, leaning back in her seat: Not bad. A hint of amusement appeared in Kevins eyes, and he nced at the bag of candy. It was something Allonzo Hobson had left in his car before returning to the Imperial Capital. Good, it had some use after all. Returning to the Evesting Pce, the two separated at the entrance. Kevin waited for her to go home before turning back to his own living quarters. Closing the door, he changed his shoes, and unbuttoned his cuff as he walked in, casually ncing down at his wrist. On his pale skin, one could faintly see four fingerprints. He flexed his wrist,ughed softly with his enchanting gaze: She still has quite some strength. The next day, before seven oclock, Daisy Zane woke up. She checked her phone while washing up. After replying to several important messages, she marked the rest as read but didnt respond. After checking her messages, several hot search topics popped up on her phone. She casually clicked on them while brushing her teeth. Among Truro Citys top ten hot searches, three were rted to the Miles Group. [Miles Groups project faces pressure overnight.] [Miles Groups stock plummets.] [Miles Group suffers losses.] What could cause the Miles Groups stock to fall like this overnight Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, turned off her phone, and washed her face. Suddenly she heard Kevin rks words echo in her mind: Where is he, Ill beat him up. After freshening up, Daisy Zane returned to her bedroom and changed her clothes. Coming out, she saw a suit jacket on the living room sofa. Her eyes lingered on it for a moment, then she called Holt Lawrence. Nana, whats up? Is something wrong? Holts voice was drowsy and muffled, clearly not fully awake. Daisy Zane went out to the balcony and nced at the adjacent road: The 300 million deal you received yesterday, return the money. Huh? What? Holt cleared his throat, You woke me up this early just to make me lose money. Return it. Why? Holt was annoyed, he knew he shouldnt have bragged about it yesterday. Knowing his reluctance, Daisy Zane paused before saying, Return half. The next time we meet, Ill write you a hacker book. Really?! Holt immediately became fully awake. Mhm. Alright, its a deal. Holt Lawrence didnt know at that time that because of this book, his next meeting with Daisy Zane would be indefinitely postponed. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane stood on the balcony for a while, then sent a message to Kevin rk: [Are you awake?] Kevin replied quickly: [Mhm, have you eaten?] Daisy Zane: [No.] Kevin rk: [Michael Jackson bought breakfast, do you want toe over here or should I go to your ce?] The morning breeze brushed against her face, causing her fragmented hair to flutter. She looked at the message, smiled slightly, and slowly typed with one hand: [Come over here..] Chapter 19 - 19: Don’t Be Bullied Chapter 19: Dont Be Bullied Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zane opened the door, to be greeted by the sight of Kevin rk already standing there waiting for her. As their eyes met, Kevin rk smiled. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow and looked at his face, the phrase male seductor suddenly sprang to her mind. She suddenly felt that the direction she was heading in might be a little dangerous. Upon entering, Daisy Zane bent to take off her shoes, but Kevin rk said, There are no new slippers at home, I didnt get the chance to buy any, dont bother changing. Daisy Zane paused momentarily, looking at the shoe cab. There were many slippers, all for men. Theyve all been worn. Said Kevin rk. I dont mind. Hearing her say that, Kevin rk picked a pair and tossed them onto the floor for himself. He then ced his own slippers by Daisy Zanes feet, saying, Wear mine. Looking at the slippers next to her feet, Daisy Zane suddenlyughed, and then wore them. Kevin rk, on the other hand, took a nce at her pale ankle and quickly looked away. The two of them walked towards the living room together. Suddenly, Michael Jackson came out, looking somewhat flustered. He gave a quick nce at Daisy Zane, steadied his emotions, and said, Lady Zane. Daisy Zane nodded, and Kevin rk asked, What happened? Third Master , said Michael Jackson again while ncing at Daisy Zane. Kevin rk indicated for him to continue. Michael Jackson said: Celestial Pivot returned half of our money. Hmm? Kevin rk also seemed surprised. Holt Lawrence sent a message saying that after watching the starsst night, he felt it wasnt right to ept so much money, so he returned half. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane: . What fool would she not know? After breakfast, Kevin rk apanied Daisy Zane to the practice room. Another morning of non-stop practice. Kevin rk noticed that she was quite resilient, very enduring, neverining of fatigue, and never showing a state of exhaustion. During noon, after having their meal together, Kevin rk dropped Daisy Zane off for her audition. When will the agent arrive? After he stopped the car, Kevin rk asked. Hes already inside. I need to make a trip back to the Imperial Capital, and I cant apany you. Kevin rk said, Ill be back as soon as possible, by tomorrow at thetest. Daisy Zane turned to look at him. There was no particr emotion in her eyes, she was just listening to him talk. Call me if you need anything. Kevin said as he texted her a message, This is Michaels mobile number, if you cant get hold of me, call him. The gaze in Daisy Zanes eyes seemed to take on a certain scrutinizing quality. Seeing her gaze, Kevin rks smile deepened, This industry can, at times, be messy. Be careful not to be taken advantage of. Daisy Zane shifted her gaze, emitting a crypticugh. Kevin rk passed some candy towards her, Here, have some. Ill be back after youre done. Michael Jackson watched from the rearview mirror as the series of actions taken by his master unfolded, remaining speechless. If he were to tell someone that his master would humble himself to be so gentle with a woman, would anyone believe it? Moreover, this woman was cold and aloof, seeming rather unresponsive. Daisy Zane looked at the candy in his hand, grabbed it, put it into her pocket, opened the car door, and said, Im going. Um. Kevin rk watched as her figure disappeared, then turned to look at the palm of his hand. The youngdys fingertips were rather cold; in such hot weather, they held no warmth. It was just like the image she portrayed to the world. He let out a soft chuckle, slowly clenching his hand, and returning to his seat. Seeing himugh, Michael Jacksonughed along. However, Harton rks eyes suddenly shifted towards him. His gaze, sharp like a knife, scared Michael, causing him to shrink his neck. He immediately put on a serious face, his lips tightened, sitting upright he started driving seriously. The location of the audition was set at the Sky Rights Hotel. The TV series was a high-budget one. The director, producer, and screenwriter were all quite famous Many people came to audition, each one of them outstandingly beautiful, young, and attractive. It was a feast for the eyes. As Daisy Zane went through the crowd to find her agent, she moved slowly. She did not pay attention to her surroundings, but focused straight ahead, seemingly unfazed by her surroundings, yet noticing every detail everyone around her. Daisy Zane was dressed casually today, with a white shirt and ck pants. Her hair was pulled back with a wooden hairpin, and she wore no makeup on her face. Her porcin-like skin, long and slender eyebrows, slightly upturned phoenix eyes, and pale pink lips were extremely alluring, cold but extremely beautiful. As she slowly moved through the crowd, the sounds of chatter suddenly disappeared, and everyone watched her. All of them were amazed by her beauty. Daisy Zane? rissa Mason also looked with everyone, and when she recognized her, a hint of sarcasm shed in her eyes, What are you doing here? As soon as she spoke, everyone else also recovered from their daze. After a few seconds of shock, they all put on a curious expression. Daisy Zane stopped, and looking at her, asked, Who are you? Do we know each other? You! rissa Mason turned pale, You dont recognize me? When did I ever know you. Daisys voice was cold and dismissive. Harton rk said she was good at pissing people off, he was right. She liked to annoy people about what they were sensitive about. After she finished speaking, someone in the crowdughed. rissa Mason, who cared a lot about her reputation, turned from pale to red quickly. What are you doing? Amanding voice sounded from behind Daisy Zane. rissa Mason turned around to see Olivia Chestering over. Olivia Chester came over, the crowd parted way for her. Their eyes were full of admiration and respect as she stood next to rissa Mason. She then turned to look at Daisy Zane, giving her a once-over and scoffed, When did an extra be so arrogant, bothering my artist? Once Olivia Chester spoke, everyone understood. No matter how beautiful and eye-catching, its all for naught. In this circle, if Olivia Chester did not like someone, without a strong background, it was impossible to develop here. And those with a strong background were mostly familiar to Olivia Chester. rissa Mason immediately smirked in triumph, looking at Daisy Zane. But Daisy Zane didnt look at her, only at Olivia Chester. She stared into her calcting eyes, chuckled lightly, and said, Then keep your artist in check, dont let her go around biting others. You wouldnt want to gain the reputation of being unable to control your own artist. The crowd was stunned silent, looking at Daisy Zane, shocked. She was the first to dare to talk back to Olivia Chester. Daisy Zane, you rissa Mason was interrupted by a re from Olivia Chester before she could finish her words and hung her head low. Olivia Chesterughed, took a step forward, and lowered her voice, Daisy Zane, you are the first person who dared to speak to me like this in this circle. Let me tell you, no matter if you have Old Master Miles or John Anderson behind you, if I dont want to see you here, you wont get anywhere. Let me tell you as well. Daisy Zane looked at her nonchntly but with a hint of coldness in her eyes, I have always liked to go against people. Especially those who I dont like. Is that so? Olivia Chester scoffed, I will be waiting. Daisy Zane just slightly raised her eyebrows, casually took her eyes off her, turned around and left without giving her a second nce. Her aura was so powerful that the onlookers immediately made way for her, watching her silently as she left.. Chapter 20 - 20: Audition Chapter 20: Audition Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Hill Dawson went to the restroom, and by the time he returned to the rest area, Daisy Zane was already standing in a quiet corner, messaging someone. He walked over quickly, worried, Daisy, did you run into Olivia Chester just now? When he was in the restroom, the others had chatted about a girl named Daisy Zane whod retorted Olivia Chester. Daisy Zane switched off her cellphone and ced it in her pocket, nodding. Are you alright? Hills anxiety increased, Have you been bullied? Ill find her. As Hill was about to leave, Daisy grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, Im fine, I wasnt bullied. Really? Yes. Relieved she hadnt been bullied, Hill was soon worried about the audition. Thepetition today was fierce, and with the unpleasant interactions with Olivia Chester, they might lose the role to others. This is for me? Daisy Zane saw Hill holding an audition number card, clenching it in his hand more tightly, causing it to crease. Oh, I almost forgot. Hill smoothed the number card, tore open the seal, and pasted it on Daisy, his trembling fingertips touching her, The director wants George Dunn for the lead male role. If he doesnte, there are alternatives. Most likely, the lead female role belongs to someone Olivia supports. Most people today are probably here for the supporting female role. Youre number neen, so you might have to wait awhile. Alright. Daisy lowered her eyes, watching him paste the number on her before adjusting her clothes. Dont be nervous, treat this audition as a learning experience and dont worry about the results, Hill advised. There are many professional performers here. Just do your best, and if its not meant to be, well look for another show. Daisy looked at his whitened knuckles, You shouldnt be nervous. Im not nervous, Im not nervous at all, Hill said, releasing his grip and forcing an awkward smile. Nearly three hours after the audition started, it was Daisy Zanes turn. As she entered, rissa Mason was leaving. Daisy didnt want to pay her any attention, but rissa stopped her, You might as well not go in. The director just said hes going to choose me. Its pointless for you to go in. Get out of my way, Daisy red at her arm. Im trying to help you. Do you know how important the physical requirements are for this role? rissa Mason looked Daisy up and down as if she were blind, Youve never learned dance or acting. Isnt going in just asking for humiliation Daisy nced at her, her cold eyes filled with ice. rissa met her gaze, subconsciously stepped back, and withdrew her hand. Only after Daisy entered the audition did shee back to herself. rissa steadied herself, scoffing, Whats the use of having a good figure or good looks? Trying topete for this role without a foundation is just dreaming! In the audition room, after rissa Mason left, the director and screenwriter started discussing. That rissa Mason just now was quite good. After watching so many people, lets settle on her. We dont need to see theter ones. I think so too. Weve seen so many before, theyre all the same. The performances are too formic, and none of them capture the essence of the character. Shes one of Olivia Chesters people, too. The director flipped through the materials andughed, She has a keen eye for talent, and the artists under her are all professionallypetent. Alright, lets go with her, said the screenwriter. Im satisfied. Since weve found a suitable person, we dont need to see the others. There are too many of them, and watching more will only tire us, making it harder to choose. Just as the screenwriter finished speaking, Daisy Zane knocked on the door and pushed it open. Hearing the door open, the director raised his head, Dont bothering in; weve decided on the role, so theres no need for the rest to audition The voice suddenly stopped. This was also when the screenwriter looked over, his rxed expression suddenly frozen. More precisely, they were both stunned. Everyone in the room was looking at her, no one made a sound. Daisy Zane was still holding the door handle with one hand, her expression indifferent, as she looked at the director: No need for an audition? No! The screenwriter suddenly stood up, the sound of the chair scraping against the floor and his hoarse voice brought everyone back to reality. Youe in,e in, stand here. The screenwriter wiped his face and took a deep breath before sitting down again. The director watched her walk to the center, then flipped through the material in his hand: Number neen, Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane responded with a nod. The director nced at the photo on her resume and then looked at Daisy Zane: You really are this beautiful. I thought the photo was edited. Youre even more beautiful in person. The screenwriter wiped his face again, finally regaining his voice: She doesnt need to do anything, just standing here, she is Riley Maxwell. Riley Maxwell was the character Daisy Zane was auditioning for. The director nodded heavily but frowned when he saw herck of background information. Not having studied acting was one thing, being a nk te meant that if she had talent, she would be easier to teach. However, not having any experience at all seemed a bit too much. Although their requirements were not high, she lowered their criteria too much. You the director picked up the script and flipped through a couple of pages, You can try this scene. Come here, and the rest of youe over to y your parts. Daisy Zane walked over and looked at the scene he was talking about. It was a scene where Riley Maxwells cover had been blown. Before being captured, Riley went to the theater and performed Overlord for thest time. However, before she could finish, the people who were after her arrived. In order to prevent her from being tortured. The male lead, who had been secretly keeping in touch with her, shot and killed her from a distance using a sniper rifle. That had also been agreed upon between the two characters. If their cover was blown and they couldnt salvage it, they would kill each other, so as not to give the enemy a chance to humiliate and torture them. Daisy Zane remembered every line of the script, but this scene had no dialogue. She nced at it, picked up two prop swords from the side, stood in the middle, and said, Im ready. The directors assistant pped the te. To set the atmosphere, they yed the apanying opera music. With just two gestures from Daisy Zane, the director and screenwriters eyes lit up. They exchanged a nce, looking as if theyd found a treasure. Halfway through the opera, the people ying the attackers burst in to arrest her. The leading person looked smug and vengeful, saying several unpleasant and provocative words. However, Daisy Zane just looked at them, her demeanor suggesting she would finish the performance that day no matter what. The people who were supposed to capture her closed in, already standing next to her with their guns pointed at her. Daisy Zane made a quick move, her eyshes quivering slightly. The next moment, a loud bang rang out from one of the other actors ying his part. Daisy Zane shifted her left shoulder back, causing her entire body to stumble backward. The sword held by her left hand also fell to the ground with a ng. Surprisingly, the hairpin that usually remained in ce during fights fell out with her movement, her dark hair cascading down her back At the same time, a tear slid down her left cheek. She fell to the ground slowly and gracefully as if a beauty taking her final bow, even her fall was gentle and beautiful. A few strands of hair crossed her face, adding a sense of brokenness. A faint smile appeared on her face as she finally closed her eyes. The indescribable feeling of that smile seemed to carry a sense of relief, as well as reluctance, longing, and aspiration It was incredibly moving. However, while everyone else was still immersed in this short scene, Daisy Zane had already stood up, picked up the hairpin and put it in her pocket, tucked her hair back, and resumed her usual detached demeanor. It was as if the person who had just performed the scene was not her at all.. Chapter 21 - 21: Nicholson Amos Chapter 21: Nicholson Amos Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zanes impression on people was first, her beauty, which was stunning and eye-catching. Second, her coldness, making her difficult to approach. She seldom showed emotions. So with this kind of image, it was hard to imagine her interpreting a characters emotions in a show. But she handled the emotions of Riley Maxwell delicately. Riley Maxwell was already a person who doesnt show her emotions, very simr to Daisy Zanes image. Her heart only held the mission, and beyond that, at most, she hid her fondness for the male lead. This kind of character setup was not easy to handle when it came to expressing emotions. Thats why the director and screenwriter were not satisfied after watching so many people. But Daisy Zane handled it very well. With just a nce, a smile, she expressed everything. There was no trace of acting. It could be said that she immersed herself in the emotions of Riley Maxwell, fully experiencing Rileys inner world. She wasnt acting, but instead brought the character from the script and text to the audience to the fullest extent. Ah, um It took the director a while to regain his senses, looked at her material again, and made sure there was nothing on it. Then he asked, Did you study drama before? No. Daisy Zane told the truth, I specifically learned for the audition. Then you have a talent to learn to this extent. The director praised her. It might be because of her dance foundation. The screenwritermented on the side. Daisy Zane didnt respond to this, but the screenwriter seemed to be just talking to himself, not caring about whether she responded or not. The director was extremely satisfied with her, his eyes filled with a smile, rubbing his hands, and exchanged several nces with the screenwriter, both of them grinning. You can go back and memorize the script first. said the director, We will have a script reading one week before shooting, and there will be some fight training. It will only take a few days, and we will notify you then. Daisy Zanes eyebrows moved slightly, she nodded politely, and left the room. Is she too calm? The director saw her leaving andughed. The screenwriters eyes were almost invisible due toughter, When I wrote Riley Maxwell, I also imagined her like this. When Daisy Zane came out, the agents anxious forehead was dripping with sweat. How was it? After asking, Hill Dawson saw that her clothes were dirty and helped her wipe the dirt, How did you get it? I cant get it clean, this white dress is so conspicuous. Daisy Zane looked at the hand that wiped her clothes, and said, They asked me to go back and memorize the script and will notify me for the script reading in a few days. Its okay, even if the result isnt good, its still okay. Hill Dawson was still trying to clean her clothes, Ill go back and find more scripts for you immediately, there will always be what did you say?! Hill Dawson suddenly looked up at her. They will call you with the specifics. Daisy Zane said calmly, If there is nothing else, I will go back first. Her calmness and Hill Dawsons astonished expression formed a huge contrast. Oh, okay. After leaving the Sky Rights Hotel, Daisy Zane went to theboratory at Truro University. An hour ago, the assistant sent her a bunch of data, saying the professor asked her to verify all the data and submit it tomorrow morning. The time was tight, and Daisy Zane didnt even have time to eat dinner. At 9:00 PM, Daisy Zane was staring at the reaction of the reagent when her cell phone suddenly rang. She took off her gloves and took the phone out of her pocket to answer it while her eyes never left the experiment. Whats up? The other side became quiet for a moment, thenughed, Busy? It was Kevin rks voice. Daisy Zanes expression rxed a bit, she picked up her pen to record some values while saying, No, I didnt see any caller ID. Her tone was much warmer than just now. Listening to her response, Kevin rk was in a good mood: Did the audition go well? Yeah, Daisy Zane replied, its half your credit, Ill treat you to dinner as a thank you. Alright, Kevin rk said with a smile, Ill head back early. After chatting idly for a bit, Kevin rk had to end their call when Michael Jackson called out to him, and they both hung up the phone. Daisy Zane continued with her work while Kevin rk kept himself busy on his end, squeezing in the phone call when he had some spare time. Outside the Imperial Capital University Laboratory, Kevin rk wore a whiteb coat and listened to the equallyb-coat-d Michael Jacksons report on the progress of the experiment. Third Master, the data provided by that student named Nicholson Amos is indeed valid for the experiment, Michael Jackson said excitedly. Following her line of thought will undoubtedly be a major breakthrough in the current field of drug research and development. Since arriving at Imperial Capital, Kevin rk had been busy with this experiment: She is indeed a rare talent and is rightfully proud. Michael Jackson nodded his head in agreement, silently feeling pity for the young genius for two seconds. The genius was probably working on the tedious experimental data somewhere. The experiment was supposed to be quite simple, but the Third Master had specifically assigned Daisy Zane to it. Since she was absent at the beginning of thest years two seminars, and after taking a half-year leave without permission, the Third Master seemed to have be fixated on her and had been overly strict with her. On the other hand, it wasnt a bad thing for a young and aggressive person to be humbled and be more stable. Tell the assistant to hurry up, I want to see the report before eight oclock tomorrow morning. Yes. Kevin rk returned to theboratory, and Michael Jackson sent a message to the assistant. Uponpleting the message, he chuckled. His Third Master seemed to be eager to finish the work early and go back to apany Lady Zane. About ten minutester, Daisy Zane in the Truro University Laboratory heard her phone ring, which she had thrown nearby. It was a specific ringtone set for the assistant. She nced at it and immediately felt a wave of irritation surge through her. The experiments werent difficult, only requiring tedious and time-consuming work. Any student from the Imperial Capital University Laboratory could do them, but there was no need for them to be this urgent. She was being purposefully harassed. Daisy Zane heard that the professor was employed by the Research Institute and was somewhat mysterious, only having three students. To this day, she didnt know whether the professor was male or female, or theirst name. The assistant was responsible for theirmunication but wasnt one of the three students. There was no information avable at all. She could have met them at the beginning ofst year, but at that time Daisy Zane furrowed her brow and muttered, Old people hold a grudge. ?? After staying up all night, Daisy Zane finished her report around six oclock in the morning and sent it to the assistant. When she returned to the Evesting Pce, she met Robinson Scott who had juste back as well. Daisy, where have you been? Why are you just getting back too? Robinson Scott noticed her low energy and spoke softly. Daisy Zane entered the elevator with her, her hands in her pockets, leaning against the elevator wall. She didnt look tired, but the bloodshot eyes made her appear colder than usual: I was in theb. All night? Yes. Was it that crazy professor again? Robinson Scott said angrily, Hes still targeting you! Such a small, petty person! This kind of person must be balding, with only a few strands of hair left that they cover their bald spot with, a potbelly, short legs, less than five feet tall, wearing super thick sses, and an oily face Show some respect for researchers, Daisy Zane interrupted her nonchntly. She rubbed her swollen eyes, stood straight, and waited for the elevator doors to open. Robinson Scott followed her out of the elevator and was silent until they reached their front door. She couldnt hold back any longer, Hes so small-minded and vindictive. Its so frustrating! Yeah. Daisy Zane opened the door with her fingerprint and stepped into the room. With her bloodshot eyes and a soft voice, she said, So I work hard to be his boss one day and give him orders.. Chapter 22 - 22: Running a Fever Chapter 22: Running a Fever Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios rissa Mason! You said the role of Riley Maxwell was already settled for you! Then why was Hill Dawson notified today! Thepany has prepared a contract for Daisy Zane! Upon receiving the news early in the morning, Olivia Chester called rissa Mason into thepany and scolded her. Olivia Chester hadnt been this angry in a long time. Everyone who was originally listening outside the office was frightened away. I, I didnt know. Yesterday, yesterday the director was very satisfied with my performance, he always praised me, and Daisy Zane went in for a short while and came out, and then the role was settled. I thought, I thought it was me. rissa Masons tearful eyes, her voice getting smaller and smaller. Useless! Cant even get the supporting female role. You mingle with that producer all day, isnt he an investor too? Apart from letting him sleep with you, what else have you gained? Olivia would not be so angry if anyone else got the role, but it definitely cannot be Daisy Zane, and also not Hill Dawsons artist, Youre always so close together, being photographed without even knowing it. Thepany has to spend money on public rtions to suppress the news. He, he was on a business trip yesterday, wasnt here. rissa Mason choked. For a producer like him, is it essential for him to be there to decide a role! Olivia Chester rubbed her temples, wanting to give her a beating, Useless! You dont even know how to rely on your connections. Now call him and get him to give you that role! Okay. With a brain like yours, you still want to be popr, youre dreaming! Its clear you could have used more covert tactics, but now thepany has even prepared a contract Olivia had to consider John Andersons feelings. Daisy Zane was the person John Anderson wanted to promote. If she had made arrangements secretly, everyone would have turned a blind eye. But now, everythings out in the open, and its challenging to exin to John Anderson. But relying solely on rissa Mason wouldnt be enough to change the casting decision. The producer clearly didnt take her seriously and wouldnt cause conflict with the director and screenwriter for her sake. What are you still standing here for! Go and make the call! Olivia Chester got angrier looking at rissa Mason. Im going now. rissa Mason ran out of the office crying. Olivia pressed her temples, took a moment to calm down before picking up her phone and making a call After returning home, Daisy Zane didnt rest and held herputer on the sofa for half of the day without moving. Past eight oclock, she received a call from Hill Dawson, informing her that she had passed the audition and asking her to sign the contract the day after tomorrow. Hill Dawson was quite excited and instructed her to read the script carefully and take good care of herself and her skin recently. Although Daisy Zanes voice was a bit cold, she responded patiently to each request. After hanging up the phone, she continued to type on herputer. It wasnt until around 3 in the afternoon that she closed herputer, went to the kitchen, poured a ss of wine, drank it, then returned to her bedroom to take a shower and catch up on sleep. However, a little past 5 0clock, she was awakened by the ringtone on her cell phone. She didnt open her eyes, just reached over to the bedside table and answered the phone: Whats up? Harton rk hesitated when he heard her husky voice and asked, Are you sleeping? Yeah. Then sleep first. Harton rks voice softened a bit, Well talk when you wake up. Youre back? Daisy Zane opened her eyes to check the time, her eyes still very red. Yeah. Harton rk noticed her voice was hoarse and didnt sound right, Did you catch a cold? Hmm? The bedroom curtain was closed, and the room was dark. Daisy Zane was lying on her side in bed, covered by a quilt, with only half of her face exposed. After checking the time, she closed her eyes again. Can you open the door for me? Harton rk passed through the door and said after a moment, Im at the entrance. Daisy Zane was silent for two seconds, then responded. She got up and put on a coat from the cab. When the door opened, Harton rk was standing outside, wearing the familiar white shirt and ck trousers. He nced at Daisy Zane, who was wearing a sleeping robe under her coat, and then his gaze fell on her face. Just got home? Daisy Zane leaned against the door, her sleeping robe reaching her knees, exposing her two white legs. Hmm. Kevin rk looked at her red eyes and pale face, and reached out to feel her forehead with the back of his hand. Daisy Zane instinctively dodged a little back. Kevin rk: Dont move. So Daisy Zane didnt move. Kevin rk touched her forehead with his fingers, it was hot: You have a fever. Daisy Zane also raised her hand to touch it, her hand was also very hot, and she didnt feel anything, so she didnt care: Maybe. She stepped aside to let Kevin rk in, and poured herself a ss of water to drink. The cold water flowed through her throat, and she felt much more awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere? Kevin rk watched her drink a ss of cold water. No. Daisy Zane said, Its okay, Ill be fine after a nights sleep. Ill change clothes, and then we can go out to eat. This nonchnt attitude. Kevin rk looked at her reddened eyes and could feel how ufortable she was. He suddenly gathered some energy: Daisy Zane. For the first time called by her full name gently, Daisy Zane looked up at him, her eyes a little surprised and somewhat confused. Seeing her like this, Kevin rk swallowed what he was about to say, and when he spoke again, his voice was much softer: Lets talk about dinnerter,e and sit down first. Daisy Zane hesitated for two seconds and then slowly walked over to sit next to the sofa. Kevin rk sat down next to her, leaving a little distance between them: Give me your hand. Daisy Zane looked at him, not understanding but still stretched out her hand. Shes quite obedient. Kevin rk thought to himself, while grabbing her wrist and gently pulled it towards him. Then, he used the back of his hand to hold her hand on his leg. His other hand felt her pulse. He can take a pulse. Daisy Zane looked at his hand, staring at his fingertips. His fingers were very long, slightly thinner than a regr males fingers, but not feminine, very delicately attractive. Her gaze was so tant that Kevin rk couldnt help but hook up the corner of his lips. He knew that when this little girl liked what she saw, she would stare nakedly. Tell me the truth, where do you feel unwell. Kevin rk asked in a cold tone, quite oppressive. But Daisy Zane was not affected as her gaze remained on his hand, saying, Im not ufortable, just sleepy. I didnt sleep well. Youve caught a cold. Oh. Daisy Zane paused for a moment, then said: Can you take a pulse? I know a lot of things. Kevin rk finished speaking, and let go of her pulse. His index and middle finger slid gently across her wrist, You can discover them slowly. He called Michael Jackson to bring some medicine, then went to the kitchen to boil water. Worried that Daisy Zane would continue to drink cold water, he also took the pot from the tea table. Daisy Zane watched his back and touched her wrist. After a while, she chuckled briefly, then curled up on the sofa and closed her eyes. When Kevin rk finished boiling the water and came out, Daisy Zane had already fallen asleep, and deeply so. A person whos usually so alert, he walked around her and even covered her with a nket without waking her up. Kevin rk didnt call her, just kept watching over her and staring at her. Chapter 23 - 23: The Characters Have Been Changed Chapter 23: The Characters Have Been Changed Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Kevin rk left the medication he asked Michael Jackson to get in Imperial Capital. It wasnt until two hourster that Michael Jackson called Kevin rk and brought the medicine. Only then did he wake up Daisy Zane. Lucia, wake up, take the medicine first. His voice was too gentle and pleasant to hear. Daisy Zane opened her eyes, her vision was somewhat blurred as she looked at the person in front of her. After looking for a while, she sat upright and then nced at the clock in the living room. She had slept this long. And she had slept so soundly. Take the medicine first. Kevin rk took out the medicine she needed to take and ced it on a tissue paper, with a cup of warm water beside it. Daisy Zane nced at the drug bottle put on the side. It was a drug from the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute. Noticing her gaze, Kevin rk said, Its a drug from the Research Institute, which has already gone through the marketing process. You can take it with confidence. It wasnt a problem for the rk Family to get the medicine from the Research Institute, not thinking much, Daisy Zane took the medicine. Do you want to sleep a little longer, or eat something first? Daisy Zane leaned back on the sofa and said, Im hungry. She only had water sincest night and also had a drink. Whatd you like to eat? Red Date and Lotus Seed Porridge. In the past, every time they went out for a meal, Daisy Zane was only responsible for eating. As for what to eat or order, she didnt care, shed eat whatever was avable. This was the first time she actively ordered food which made Kevin rk a little happy. Okay. Ill have it sent over. The porridge was delivered by the people at Doomsday Hotel, they also brought a fish soup and a few small dishes. Daisy Zane looked at the Doomsday Hotel characters printed on the packing box. Her appetite, which was originally for a bowl of porridge, soared, and she ended up eating more than half a bowl of rice. Have some soup too. Kevin rk was no longer surprised by her appetite and served her another bowl of soup when he saw shed nearly finished eating. Daisy Zane slowly sipped the soup with a spoon, her eyes downcast, very quiet, without making a sound. Kevin rk sat across her, observing her. Peaceful and beautiful. But this peace was soon interrupted by the ringtone of a cellphone. Daisy Zane nced at the cellphone nearby, it was Hill Dawson. She answered the call and put it on speaker. Lucia, whatwhat are you up to? Listening to Hill Dawsons hesitant voice, Daisy Zane already had a fair idea of what had happened, Did something happen with the role? Kevin rk nced at the phone. Hill Dawson hesitated for a moment and finally said : Its been changed to rissa Mason Hearing this name, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, her eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness, turned red and a bit malicious. Lucia, dont be too upset, this kind of thing happens quite often. Lets look at other scripts. Hill Dawson wasnt in a good mood either, but she was afraid Daisy Zane, a youngdy, wouldnt be able to take it. Sheforted once this is gone, maybe the next script will be even better. Daisy Zane remained silent. Hill Dawson continued, I didnt expect the person behind Olivia Chester to be so influential. I heard some rumors at noon and even called the director to ask. The director told me to be at ease. Indeed the producer did suggest a change, but both he and the screenwriter turned it down. They both felt you were the most suitable one. A script is a screenwriters painstaking effort, each character his brainchild. They definitely want to best represent the character. But tonight, I suddenly had a notice about the change. Hill Dawson sounded frustrated. I asked for a long time, and only then did the director tell me a little. Apparently, someone pressed on the change. Initially, both he and the screenwriter didnt agree. But the person said they would just change the director and the screenwriter and make the show directly. Such great power? Daisy Zane murmured. Seeing her reaction, Kevin rk hooked his lips. Her role was taken, and the other party had such influence. Not only did she have no reaction of sadness or worry, but instead she seemed to be unting the misfortune of the others. I didnt expect it either. They dared to take the script and start filming directly, Hill Dawson said, I really didnt expect Olivia Chester to have such influence, its too arrogant. She had always been at odds with Olivia Chester, but Olivia never made such a big fuss over a role. It seems Olivia Chester and Daisy Zane have a deeper conflict than her own. She knew about Daisy Zanes past, as well as Olivia Chesters rtionship with the Miles Family. In the past, even if she had no subordinates, she would not take Daisy Zane. Perhaps, after bing a mother, she became increasingly soft-hearted. No matter what, the role had to be reced with rissa Mason. It was not worth it for the director and screenwriter to lose the whole show over Daisy Zane. I understand, Daisy Zane said. Lucia, dont be sad, Ill find you more resources, Hill Dawson said. Im fine, she replied. She ended the call and casually browsed through the messages on her cell phone. She replied to a message from a contact marked NIAN. NIAN: [A director is looking for me. Should I take part in a show? It willst for a maximum of four months.] Daisy Zane: [Ok.] After replying to the message, she tossed her cell phone aside and looked at Kevin rk, who was staring at her: Have you seen enough? Kevin rk chuckled, slightly seductively, but did not answer the question: How can you be so calm? As expected. Did you have a dispute? Kevin rk asked. Minor disputes. These things were really minor disputes for Daisy Zane, not enough to cause her too much concern. Its inevitable in this industry, part of lifes amusement. Kevin rk nodded: This mindset isnt bad. After Kevin rk left, Daisy Zane sent Holt Lawrence a message, asking him to look up Olivia Chesters connections and the investors behind the Fall of the Quince drama crew. Holt Lawrence agreed quickly, but his next message was: [Nana, in another month, the maple leaves in the Imperial Capital will turn red. Shouldnt youe back to have a look?] [I am filming, no time.] [Then I can visit your set.] [I dont want to spread scandal with an old man.] [End of a friendship, block!] Daisy Zane ignored him and went back to her bedroom to sleep. She slept until past 9 0clock, and if it werent for her phone ringing, she could have continued sleeping. It was an unknown number. She answered the call and, before she could say anything, a voice came from the other end. It was rissa Mason. Her voice was so triumphant, it sounded like her tail was about to stick up to the sky. Daisy Zane, Im signing the contract tomorrow and will join the crew the day after, rissa Mason said, What are you doing? You wouldnt have cried all night, would you? Daisy Zane: . What an idiot. Is your agent looking for a script for you? I think you should give up. Know your ce. Even with a bad script, if they cant find an actor, they still wouldnt pick you. Daisy Zane tossed the cell phone aside and took a sip of water from the thermos cup on the bedside table. This all-ck thermos cup was left here by Kevin rk yesterday, who reminded her repeatedly not to drink cold water. Looking at the thermos cup in her hand, she recalled that line: ck goes with everything. Daisy Zane, let me tell you. Im better than you in every way. The rolest time was an ident. Any person could y that insignificant role, its just that you got the windfall. But for important roles, you dont evenpare to a single strand of my hair. Well, you might want to hold onto this stolen role. After all, its not yours, it will be hard to keep it, Daisy Zane said, toozy to listen to her cackle, she immediately hung up the phone.. Chapter 24 - 24: Ah!! Fairy Clan! Chapter 24: Ah!! Fairy n! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Third Master, we have found the force responsible for the goods robbery at Truro Pier. Michael Jackson reported in the study room. Kevin rk stood in front of the desk, holding a brush, writing. The scent of books and elegant writing were full of strength and vigor. Tell me. Michael Jackson nodded: We fought against the Darknight Alliances forces, and Thomas Firway was wounded by Darknight Alliances leader, Emma rk. Darknight Alliance. Kevin rk repeated, So the one who injured Thomas Firway It should be that Nameless killer. Michael Jackson said, After all, only he could have injured Thomas Firway like this. There wouldnt be a second person in the Darknight Alliance who could do it. Darknight Alliance was an organization in D Continent. A few years ago, a new enforcer suddenly appeared in the alliance and was very powerful. No one had seen his face. His age, gender, and everything else was unknown. So everyone called him Nameless. Michael Jackson said: Truro has been quite lively recently. Roy Ryder, Emma rk, and even the normally absent from the domestic scene, Nameless, are all here. Third Master, do you want to call some people over from Imperial Capital? No need. Kevin rk said softly, In these years, we have been living in peace with the Darknight Alliance in D Continent. I didnt expect to be enemies again. With the deste tone in his voice, Michael Jackson didnt dare to speak and lightened his breath even more. Notify the people in D Continent that we want all the things Darknight Alliance wants. Yes, sir. After Michael Jackson left the study room, Kevin rk bent down to finish thest character, put down the brush, and then turned to the French window to send a message to Allonzo Hobson. [How is the matter going?] Allonzo Hobson immediately called: Arthur, guess who is the person behind Olivia Chester. who? The Giovanni Family. That The family thats been reported online to be able to contend with us in the Entertainment Industry. Allonzo Hobson said, Olivia Chester has been Vincent Giovannis mistress for quite some years. Vincent is almost sixty years old, right? The Giovanni Family had a certain status in Imperial Capital, so meddling in a drama crew wouldnt be a problem. Ive been displeased with their family for a long time. It just so happened that this opportunity came right before me. Allonzo Hobson said, Just wait, within half an hour, the Giovanni Family, Olivia Chester, and Maple Elite Entertainment will have their hands full. Dont involve her. I know. After hanging up the phone, Kevin rk looked at the paper on the table, and the ink on it had already dried. A beautiful line of slender gold characters reads: There are angelicas in the Yuan River and orchids in the Li River, thinking of the young master, but I dare not speak C Daisy Zane. The penmanship was fine and strong, slender and powerful, with a clear structure. Looking at the characters, Kevin rk gently raised the corner of his mouth and then sent a message to Daisy Zane: [Are you awake?] ?? After hanging up the phone from rissa Mason, Daisy Zane took a bath. Maybe it was because of the fever-reducing medicine, she had sweated all over her body after sleepingst night. After taking the bath, she replied to Kevin rks message and had a ss of water before receiving the message from Holt Lawrence. At a nce, it was deliberately dyed. A document, listing all of Olivia Chesters background rtionships over the years, including her rtionship with Vincent Giovanni. It was also found that it was Vincent Giovanni who had interfered with the Fall of the Quince drama crew. After clearing up the evidence, Daisy Zane flipped through the contacts on her phone and nned to take action. Hill Dawsons phone call came in first. She answered the phone first. Lucia, have you seen the hot search?! The voice was very excited, the kind of excitement that made the voice feel like jumping up. What happened? Wait a moment, Ill find another ce to talk to you. After Hill Dawson finished, Daisy Zane heard the sound of her high heels running all the way. At this speed and time, Daisy Zane felt that she ran about 200 meters away. Lucia, let me tell you, you wont lose that role. Hill Dawson lowered her voice and caught her breath. Huh? Vincent Giovanni from the Imperial City Bet family oh, you probably dont know him. Hes the person behind Olivia Chester, and hes very powerful. However, hispany is being investigated. If its serious, the wholepany might get shut down. Hill Dawson excitedly said, Now he cant even take care of himself, let alone interfere with the drama crew. Daisy Zane pinched her fingertips and thought, so quick and ruthless Also, also Hill Dawson couldnt help butugh, Olivia Chester and Vincent Giovanni are having an affair, and now someone has exposed it. Clear photos, irond evidence. That hot search exploded in five minutes. Olivia Chester and John Anderson have been trying to suppress the search, but they cant get it down. Daisy Zane: . She has a free Celestial Pivot to use, but shes one step behind others. Ive already talked to the director on the phone, and theres no problem with Fall of the Quince. But that rissa Mason who was forcibly added definitely cant be used now. Hill Dawsonughed for a while and said, You just rx and wait, wait to join the crew. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane looked at her cellphone for a while. Then she sent a message to Holt Lawrence: [Inefficient, blocked!] Twenty minutester, Kevin rk came knocking on the door, bringing breakfast and a wooden box. Not feverish anymore. Kevin rk saw that her face had improved a lot, and her eyes were no longer red. Mm. Daisy Zane watched him familiarly take a pair of disposable slippers for her to change into and said, You could bring a pair of slippers from your house. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow: Alright. Next time. Daisy Zane sat down at the dining table, while Kevin rk went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and then unpacked the bought breakfast one by one. Daisy Zane did nothing but waited to eat. Halfway through the meal, there suddenly came an opening door sound from the guest room, followed by footsteps. The two looked at the restaurant entrance simultaneously. A few secondster, Robinson Scott appeared at the entrance, wearing a set of gray pajamas, his hair messy and his eyes barely open: Daisy, you finally started eating breakfast, it smells delicious. Kevin rk nced at him and then looked away, while Daisy Zane asked, Waking up early? I came back before midnightst night. You didnt hear Ah!!! Robinson Scott opened his eyes, saw the person sitting opposite Daisy Zane, and yelled in fright, Fairy n! Daisy Zane: . Fairy? Kevin rk repeated. Daisy Zane: Praising you. Really? Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane with a smile, seeming to examine her. Daisy Zane also looked at him, her tone a bit cold: Yes. Kevin rkughed, epting the nickname. He was afraid that if he said anything else, the little girls p would being. Hello, Kevin rk. Kevin rk looked at Robinson Scott and introduced himself. Robinson Scott felt his gaze and realized something in their conversation. She said, Robinson Scott. Want to eat? Daisy Zane asked. I wont eat, Ill just have a drink. As Robinson Scott spoke, she nced at Kevin rk and turned to go to the kitchen. Kevin rk felt deep hostility in that nce. After having some water in the kitchen, Robinson Scott went to sit on the sofa in the living room, staring at the dining room. She seemed to exude an attitude that if Kevin rk made any improper moves, she would take him down.. Chapter 25 - 25: Quite a Unique Impression Chapter 25: Quite a Unique Impression Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Robinson sat on the sofa, arms crossed, his right leg kept shaking, and the shaking got faster and faster. He had known Daisy Zane for many years and naturally knew how many people were pursuing her. If one day Daisy had a wedding, the suitors could fill several tables. But he was very sure that Daisys feelings were nk, whiter than white paper. Although Daisy Zane was very impressive, beyond normal in his eyes, no matter how impressive she was, she was still a woman. And womens intelligence would drop by more than half once they fell in love. This Kevin rk was wicked in everything, obviously not a good thing in appearance. His reputation was also extremely poor. What if he yed with Daisy? Thinking of this, Robinson cursed and changed legs to shake. After a while, the sound of cleaning dishes and chopsticks came from the restaurant. Robinson crossed his legs, straightened his body. Only then did he see a wooden box on the tea table. It was sandalwood, with exquisite patterns carved around it, and the craftsmanship was very fine. It was valuable. Robinson thought it belonged to Daisy Zane, so he just opened it. Inside was a red jade hairpin. It was red all over, without any impurities. The hexagonal head was also carved with a phoenix, and the craftsmanship was very meticulous. It could be seen that it had been around for a long time, but it had been well preserved. Robinson could not take his eyes off these historical, meticulously crafted, and pure materials. He watched the box for a while, until Kevin rk and Daisy Zane came out of the restaurant together, only then did he move his eyes away from the hairpin and look at Daisy Zane. His expression was full of iprehension. Lucia, at the auction, didnt you say that this thing wasnt worth 100 million, and you didnt want it? Robinson held the wooden box and said, Howe you bought it back in the blink of an eye? You, you Its much more enjoyable to pressure that bastard at the auction, why buy it privately? What thing? Daisy Zane asked as she sat down on the sofa and nced at the box in his hand. This hairpin. Robinson said, At the Imperial Capital Apocalypse Hotel auction, there was a son-of-a-gun who was bidding with us all the time, andter you said you didnt want it. How much did you spend to buy it? How do you know the buyer? I tried to find him for a long time. Daisy Zane nced at the box again, and then looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk was also looking at her, his eyes filled with pampering, soaked withughter, and a touch of investigative color. After a brief exchange of nces, Daisy Zane moved her gaze away and said, Its not mine, he brought it. Who? Robinson looked at Daisy Zane, and saw Daisy Zane lift her chin towards Kevin rk. He turned his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely twice. Fairy n, bastard. Kevin rks gaze passed over Robinsons gauze-wrapped arm and said softly, Miss Sus impression of me is really unique. The light and fluttery tone was indeed oppressive. But, in all these years, Robinson had been known as Roy Ryder and Emma rk, and he always walked sideways. He used to scare others, but being scared was out of the question! He looked up to face his gaze, full of rivalry and even more hostility. Kevin rk, of course, would not quarrel with her, especially since this was Daisy Zanes friend. He looked away and then looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane had been watching the excitement and suddenly looked up at him, startled for a moment. What was this pathetic and somewhat innocent look all about? However, just at this time, Robinson also looked over, looking even more pitiful: Lucia Daisy Zane: . Are you twopeting here? Well Im going to go have a sip of water. After speaking, Daisy Zane went to the bedroom, leaving Kevin rk and Robinson in the living room. Kevin rks expression returned to indifference, and a fierce look appeared in Robinsons eyes. I heard that Mr. Su has been looking for Miss Su, but I didnt expect Miss Su to be there. Kevin rk looked at Robinson, his narrow eyes filled with evil air. Youre investigating me? Robinson furrowed his eyebrows, murderous intent in his eyes. I had the honor of seeing Miss Sus photo at Mr. Sus ce. Su, Mr. Su Her dad! Robinsons eyes widened suddenly, and he couldnt help but move a bit, farther away from Kevin rk. Having seen her photo, it goes without saying that her dad must have taken her photo and showed it to everyone, fearing that no one would want her. Even introduced it to Kevin rk. Could it be more embarrassing? Robinson slowly raised his hand to cover half of his face. I have some friendship with Mr. Scott, and since I know Miss Scott is here Third Master! Robinson Scott stood up suddenly, putting on a smile, I have some matters to attend to, so I wont disturb you guys. If her dad came looking for her, he might beat her up first. No, no, no, saving her life was more important. Kevin rk nodded: Thenlll keep it a secret. Robinson Scott clenched her fists, forced a smile, and gritted her teeth: Thank you, Third Master. By the time Daisy Zane came out of the bedchamber, Robinson had returned to the guest room. She put the thermos cup on the tea table and looked at Kevin rk, narrowing her eyes: Did you bully her? How could I? Kevin rk was sincere. Daisy Zane took back her gaze, sat down, and nced at the wooden box on the tea table. I got it for you. One billion. Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk smiled: Its not worth that much. Indeed, it wasnt that valuable. At the auction, when the bidding for this item reached 10 million, Daisy Zane didnt want it anymore. But she still raised the price. Obviously, the intention was to let him bleed even if she couldnt get it. Well, no fight, no friendship, I guess. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. Not only the hairpin, but also a Peking opera headdress. Daisy Zane failed to get the hairpin, so when Kevin rk tried to bid for a Peking opera headdress afterward, she also bid against him and raised the price of the headdress as well. Give me the cup; Ill boil some water. Daisy Zane handed him the cup and watched him go to the kitchen, then looked at the hairpin on the tea table. After contemting for a while. Next time they went to Celestial Pivot for information, they should let Holt Lawrence have a look at the stars and do it for free. Maple Elite Entertainment John Anderson and Olivia Chester had been busy all morning trying to remove the hot searches but couldnt. Thepanys uniform rification statements were not believed by anyone. Not just thepany and Olivia Chester; all of Olivia Chesters artists were also attacked. Plus those who were kicking them when they were down. Maple Elite Entertainment had suffered the worst blow since its establishment. John Anderson had tried to find everyone he could, but they couldnt even find out who they had offended. John, hows it going? Amelia Miles hurried over as soon as she heard the news in the morning. John Anderson sighed and patted her head: Ive done my best. All we can do now is minimize thepanys losses and wait for the storm to pass. This matter was true, and they had done what they could in terms of public rtions and preparations. They could only wait for the storm to pass. Dont worry, Ill be with you. Lets take a break. Amelia Miles eyes curved into a smile as she held onto his arm and leaned on his shoulder. After a while, she sighed, I dont know whats going on recently. First, the Miles Group had a problem, and now its Maple Elite. Its like something has affected our familys fortune. Its inevitable in doing business, John said, pretending not to hear the hint in her words. Hows the Miles Group doing now? It has stabilized, but the losses are a bit heavy. Thepany has developed well in recent years, with a solid foundation, so theres no big problem. If it were a few years ago, it might have gone bankrupt. Amelia Miles exined, Thanks to your help, John. My dad said to invite you for dinner when you have time. No need to thank me, its what I should do. I wonder how my sister is doingtely? Ive been too busy with the family affairs, Amelia mentioned. John Andersons expression froze for a moment. He knew about Olivia Chesters changing roles, but since Olivia Chester held shares in thepany and had status in the industry, he didnt want to make things too ugly with her, so he didnt stop her. However, not even a day had passed before the Imperial City Bet Family had been investigated. Was it a coincidence, or was it rted to Daisy Zane? Did Daisy Zane really have such power? His father had insisted on signing Daisy Zane, but his father didnt want to talk about it afterward. His father only told him to not let her be bullied and not to treat her differently. He wanted her to walk a clean path in this industry. It must be a coincidence. Otherwise, why would his father give him such a warning? If she were really that powerful, why would she join the entertainment industry? And why would she choose Maple Elite Entertainment instead of going to Imperial Capital? Chapter 26 - 26: Not to Be a Precedent Chapter 26: Not to Be a Precedent Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Arthur, this Olivia Chester is really ruthless, exposing her oldpanys secrets to the point of bankruptcy. Allonzo Hobson called Harton rk after seeing the trending searches had gone down, I really believe that a womans heart is the most poisonous. Olivia Chester was brought over to Maple Elite Entertainment by John Anderson through a stock transaction. Her originalpany was in the Imperial Capital. As her trend didnt go down, she exposed her oldpany, using an even bigger issue to divert public attention. The decline of an old entertainmentpany is more eye-catching than her. Besides diverting attention, shes also warning, Harton rk said, warning those who have good rtionships with her that if they distance themselves from her in the future, her oldpany will be an example. She must have a lot of their dark secrets in her hands, enough to make them all fall overnight. Thats ruthless, knowing to keep an ace up her sleeve. Allonzo Hobson said, Hey, Arthur, I just got a copy of Daisy Zanes audition tape, do you want to watch it? My mom just watched it several times and said her Best Actress position is threatened. Send it to me. This eager tone made Allonzo Hobsonugh: Are you going to let me give it to you for free? As if he knew what Allonzo Hobson was going to say, Harton rks response was very fast and cold: A mine in D Continent needs workers to dig Daddy, Im sorry, Ill send it to you right away. That night, Harton rk yed the audition video more than a hundred times, until his cell phone shut off. After Daisy Zane signed a contract with the drama crew, the three days before she joined were spent with Harton rk and his senior. She learned all the necessary opera segments in the script. Daisy Zane was incredibly beautiful, with a great figure and wless limbs. Moreover, she learned things quickly and had great stamina, neverining about being tired. Though she seemed unapproachable, she was very respectful and polite. His senior had a good impression of Daisy Zane after teaching herst time. After spending three days together, she liked her even more. When leaving, at the airport, she held Daisy Zanes hand and repeatedly told her to visit Imperial Capital when she had time. Harton rk escorted his senior to the boarding gate while Daisy Zane didnt follow, she and Michael Jackson waited in the car. In the boarding gate, his senior kept raving: Arthur, Im not exaggerating, Ive seen many youngdies in Imperial Capital, but Ive never felt anyone was a good match for you. Zane is the only one I think is perfect for you. Harton rkughed softly. Weve been together these three days, and although she doesnt talk much, I can feel shes very knowledgeable. And the calmness on her is not the result of family education, but more like experience, Seniorughed, How should I put it? You two are a match made in heaven, both of you giving me a mysterious impression. Senior, wheres the mystery in me? You know it in your heart. The senior said. Harton rk chuckled and said, Senior, you still have to help me keep this secret from my mom. True. Speaking of this, seniors face became worried, Zanes feelings for you are probably at the stage of more than a friend at most now. Dont tell my mom before the rtionship is stable. My mom is good at scaring people away. Senior suddenly thought of her own experience when she first had a boyfriend, and her Teachers actions. Her mouth twitched twice. Now thinking about it, she still felt lingering fear and said, Indeed, we should stabilize it first, stabilize. While Harton rk escorted his Senior inside the boarding gate, in the car outside, Michael Jackson got his first chance to be alone with Daisy Zane. For the first few minutes, everything was harmonious. Daisy Zane sat in the back seat ying with her cell phone, while Michael Jackson quietly chatted with Thomas Firway in the front, asking about his rib. They didnt disturb each other. But after a while, Daisy Zanes phone rang, a call ringtone that was hung up after just one ring. Then, Michael Jackson felt a continuous cold air hitting his back. He straightened his spine involuntarily and took a nce through the rearview mirror. Daisy Zane was still leaning against the seat, holding her phone, her movements unchanged. Michael swallowed hard, for the first time feeling this suffocating pressure from someone other than his familys Third Master. Chatting with Daisy Zane was Holt Lawrence, the one who had been blocked. Holt dared not block Daisys phone, and he probably couldnt do it anyway. So after being blocked himself, he switched numbers to contact her. When Holts call was hung up, he knew that it might not be convenient for her to answer the phone, so he immediately sent a message. [Got news from the Healing Manor, that guy woke up.] Daisy looked at the message on her phone, seemingly not registering it, staring at it for a while. Her body quickly cooled down, and ayer of murderous intent gathered in her eyes. The violent factor in her body seemed to be uncontroble. After a while, she pressed the screen to reply, her fingertips trembling with repressed emotion: [Whats the condition?] [Not good. The doctor said he might be mentally disabled, with a crooked eye and drooling mouth. He just chuckles like an idiot, and drools too.] [Does it seem fake?] Daisy asked. [The doctor said it doesnt seem like it. He says the guy got injured so badly, that its already a miracle to save his life. Waking up is a miracle, a miracle bought with money.] So, its no different from a dead person. There would be no valuable information to get from him. Daisy closed her eyes, leaning her head back on the seat. Michael watched her in the rearview mirror, suddenly noticing an unshakable and inescapable deathly stillness around her, as if she was immersed in a pool of blood or a dark abyss, without a trace of light. Daisy leaned her head back, realizing that she was losing control of herself. She suddenly opened the car door and got out. Michael immediately followed her out of the car. Just as he opened the door, he heard Daisy say, Get in. The voice was eerie. Normally, her voice was just cold, and she was very polite, but these two words carried a profound sense of malice and coldness. Michael hesitated for a moment: Lady Zane Daisy mmed the car door shut with a straight arm. Michael, who was supporting the car door, was pushed back. He gasped from the unexpected pain. It was noon, and the sunlight outside was good, the sky was very blue, and there wasnt a single cloud. Outside the airport was noisy with peopleing and going. But Daisy seemed to not hear anything. She stood outside the car, her face unnaturally pale, and ayer of red gradually appeared in her eyes. She clenched her fists, trying to suppress the impulse in her heart. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her unfocused eyes, getting closer and clearer. Whats wrong? Kevin rk asked, worried and anxious. Daisys eyes refocused, and her voice returned to her ears. She looked at Kevin for a while, then slowly lowered her gaze. Kevin nced at Michael, who shook his head pitifully, indicating that he had no idea. Do you have a cigarette? Daisy suddenly asked. Kevin was slightly taken aback, and then searched his pockets, taking out a few pieces of sugar, offering them to Daisy: I have some sugar, want it? Daisy looked at the pink candy in his hand, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and took it. She peeled one off, threw it in her mouth, and chewed right away. And she chewed through five pieces, making a crisp sound. Kevin stood next to her, leaning against the car, apanying her. Seeing her like this, he reached out to Michael and said, Smoke. Michael sat in the car, feeling apprehensive, as if the seat had needles, poking his bottom. Seeing Kevin reach out, he quickly handed over his cigarettes and lighter. Kevin took one and gave it to Daisy, saying, This is the only one, and its an exception.. Chapter 27 - 27 Spreading Rumors Chapter 27: Spreading Rumors Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The smoke curled upwards as Daisy Zane looked down, exhaling a puff gently. Kevin rk turned to look at her, feeling a sense of abandonment amidst the chill, killing intent, hatred, and anger radiating from her. Her state deeply pained him, and he wished he could hold her. Halfway through the cigarette, Kevin rk coughed at the dispersed smoke. Daisy Zane only looked up at him after hearing his series of coughs. Kevin rk covered his mouth with a clenched right hand, his eyes watering from coughing. Choking? Daisy Zane asked after observing him for a while. Her words left Kevin rk coughing inability to speak. He shook his head, waved his hand, gesturing for her to go on. With a slight flutter of her eyshes, Daisy Zane studied him closely. If smoke was an issue for him, considering Michael Jacksons respect for him, he would have quit smoking, never to carry cigarettes, especially not let Kevin rk knows about it. But he didnt seem to be pretending. Daisy Zane stubbed out her cigarette and leaned against the car: Want some water? No need itll pass, Kevin rk coughed few more times and then stopped. Michael Jackson sat in the car, holding his breath while watching Kevin rks Oscar-worthy acting skills. Kevin rk took the cigarette and lighter from Daisy Zanes hand and stood outside with her, not disturbing her in any way. It was noon, and the temperature was rising, causing the ground to radiate heat. Kevin rk was wearing a ck shirt. Despite the heat, he stood outside with Daisy Zane for almost an hour, using his height advantage to block the sun for her. Not until he saw Daisy Zanes mood stabilizing did he say, Lets go home. When Daisy Zane turned her head and saw the beads of sweat on his forehead, her eyes flickered, and then she nodded softly. Once they returned to the Evesting Pce, Kevin rk told Daisy Zane at the entrance, Lucia, if theres anything I can assist with, dont hesitate to let me know, okay? Daisy Zane, who had fallen asleep in the car, looked up at him with slightly foggy eyes and nodded slightly: Okay. Presenting Michaels mobile number, he asked, You still have it? Yeah. Hell stay in Truro City, said Kevin rk. My schedule might be unstable for some time. Contact him directly if theres anything. If its convenient for you, you can keep him with you on the set. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. He added, Be careful on set; there are manybat scenes in the drama. Dont get hurt. Okay. Without wanting to bother her further, Kevin rk refrained from saying more: Go on in. Daisy Zane opened the room door, paused, and then looked back to say, You also take care. Kevin rk smiled: Sure. It was decided that the script would be read and martial arts training would begin within a week of the start of the shooting. Yet, when the makeup setting, costumes, and other details were in ce, almost a month went by. During this month, Daisy Zane did not see Kevin rk. Robinson Scott also left due to the Darknight Alliance being targeted in D continent. The person she saw most often was her agent. Hill Dawson was all business when he first met Daisy Zane, asking many questions both openly and in a roundabout way. However, afterward, he fully embodied the role of a nurturing mother. Like other artists who bring assistants onto the set, her agent, also acting as her assistant, apanied Daisy Zane on the set, in rain or shine, always on time. During this period, several attempts from Olivia Chesters artist to stir up trouble were all settled by Hill Dawson without Daisy Zane needing to utter a word. Aside from this, there was also Michael Jackson who he saw every day. From the first day on set, Michael was always there to pick her up and drop her off. He waited promptly at her house entrance every morning and even waited outside the drama crews location extra early. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk both told him repeatedly not to bother. Every time, Kevin agreed politely but Daisy still saw Michael waiting outside the next day. Moreover, Daisy didnt have a set ending time to leave the set every day, so Michael would always wait outside extra early. Feeling helpless, Daisy began to tell him her ending times so as to not waste his time. Because of this, Hill Dawson continuously suspected that there was something going on between them. Despite Daisys denial, she didnt believe her. Hill even prepared several public rtions ns in case of unexpected needs in the future. Later, Daisy couldnt be bothered to exin anymore. Before filming started, they gave all the actors a day off. The night before their day off, Hill Dawson went home with Daisy. The first filming location was Red Cliff Vige. It took four to five hours to drive there, so they definitely could notmute daily. Hill Dawson was worried that it was Daisys first time going on a long trip for filming and didnt know what to bring, so she wanted to help her pack. Some shops in themercial area near the Evesting Pce had already begun operating. Hill Dawson saw a store selling roasted sweet potatoes while driving by. She pulled Daisy out of the car to go inside. So when Kevin rk saw them in the parking lot, what he saw was the three of them each holding a steaming hot roasted sweet potato and eating deliciously. They were also standing in a circle beside the car. And the conversation he heard went like this. Hill Dawson: Is it sweet? When I was young, my mother wouldnt let me eat this. I used to buy it and finish it in the parking lot, so I always felt that the roasted sweet potatoes in the parking lot are the most delicious. Daisy Zane didnt speak, she was peeling the sweet potato skin. Michael Jackson responded politely and somewhat formally. Michael, weve known each other for quite a while now, but I dont know what your job is. How old are you? Where are you from? This questionlt felt a bit off to Michael, but he still answered: I work as an assistant, I am 25 this year and Im from the Imperial Capital. From the Imperial Capital? Hill Dawson asked while biting into the sweet potato, Do you have a house in Imperial Capital? Which district? How big is Michaelughed awkwardly, nced at Daisy, but before he could speak, Hill Dawson added: Even though our Daisy doesnt care about these things, you surely must have a house. That will be your lifes security in the future. And Daisys job is rather peculiar. Now that she is with you, she is under immense pressure. After Hill finished speaking, Michael was so shocked he broke out in a sweat instantly: No, no, Sister Emily, youve made a mistake, we are not together, I am just a driver. Dont bluff me. You two figured everything out, didnt you? Pretending to be only a driver, I wont stop her from dating. In front of me, you dont need to maintain such a big distance. No, I am not, I am not. Lady Zane Daisy Zanepletely calmly took another bite of the sweet potato without even looking up, and calmly responded: Ive already exined three times, but she doesnt believe me. Daisy. Just as she finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded. Daisy Zane looked up towards the source of the sound upon hearing the voice. Kevin rk was in a suit today, his long legs making him appear all the more desirable and attractive, as if he had stepped out of a drawing. Beside him was a man, slightly shorter than him, with very distinctive features. From far away you could feel a sense of malevolence. Seemingly inherently within him. Daisy Zane watched him approach. Hill Dawson stared at him, her eyes wide and in shock, her mouth hanging open. Third Master. Michael Jackson immediately put away the roasted sweet potato in his hand and went up to wee the guest. Kevin rk nced at him, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing right into Michaels heart. His expression seemed to say: Look at you, I asked you to just transport people, not to create a scandal. Michael Jackson suddenly felt as if he were frozen, and his head dropped even lower.. Chapter 28 - 28: I Actually Like Seeing Him Chapter 28: I Actually Like Seeing Him Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zane saw Michael Jackson with his head down, feeling that if Kevin rk didnt shift his gaze, in the next second, he wouldmit seppuku. So, she came to his rescue: Are you back? Mm. Kevin rks gaze immediately shifted over, looking at her gently and softly, Did you lose weight? I dont feel it. Kevin rk took another look at her scattered hair, Did you cut your hair? Daisys hair used to reach her waist, and a fingers length had been cut off. Mm. Needed for makeup setting. After Daisy finished speaking, she looked up at the person behind Kevin rk. From the moment Kevin rk spoke to her, this man had been staring at her. His gaze was a mixture of contempt, disdain, and hostility,pletely undisguised. As their eyes met, Daisy calmly looked at him. Seeing this, Kevin rk turned his head to look behind him, and Thomas Firway immediately lowered his head, disying an attitude of submission. This was Thomas Firway, who had broken two ribs not long ago and had just recovered. Daisy also withdrew her gaze, nced at the sweet potato in her hand, and asked, Want some? Its pretty sweet. Looking at the artistically eaten sweet potato in her hand, Kevin rk raised an eyebrow. Noticing his gaze, Daisy retracted the hand holding the sweet potato, as if afraid that Kevin rk would suddenly take a bite, Its not something you havent eaten before. The meaning of this action was too obvious. Kevin rk couldnt help butugh, Alright, well eat it when we get back. Hearing hisughter, Thomas Firway nced at Kevin rk, then at Daisy Zane again, his hostility even more intense than before. Of course, Daisy felt it too. She raised her eyebrows quite brazenly and provocatively, then lowered her head and casually took another bite of the sweet potato. Since everyone hadnt finished eating, the five of them went to Daisys living quarters. Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway were responsible for buying the food. Kevin rk, Daisy Zane, and Hill Dawson were waiting for them to return. In the meantime, Kevin rk ate that roasted sweet potato. Daisy Zane sat on another sofa, and while responding to his conversation, she watched his slender, fair fingers peel the sweet potato skin. It was clearly just a 30 USD sweet potato, but it seemed like a valuable item in his hands. Daisy Zane suddenly felt like she had wronged him a bit. This man probably had never eaten any street food before, right? Which location are you shooting at first? Kevin rk had read the script and naturally knew the predetermined filming locations. Red Cliff Vige, Daisy Zane said. Well be going there tomorrow afternoon. Staying there? Mm, theres a hotel not far from Red Cliff Vige. Red Cliff Vige is a famous shooting location with mountains, rivers, and viges. Gradually, the local area developed around this advantage, with amodations, food, and tourist attractions. Actually, the people gathered there were quite diverse. Let Michael Jackson drive you there and protect you guys, its not safe there, Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. Seeing this, Kevin rkughed, If he dares to spread any more rumors about me behind my back, Ill kill him. Although it was a joke, it was still terrifying. Hill Dawson, who had been quietly observing them, was suddenly scared and choked on her saliva, coughing. Daisy Zane poured her a ss of water. Sorry. After coughing, Hill Dawson held the water ss with both hands but remained still. Quietly observing them. It was because of Kevin rks extraordinary face and temperament that made him seem like a not-so-ordinary person, quite terrifying. Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway came back with a lot of food. As Hill Dawson saw the four big characters Doomsday Hotel on the packaging box when she was sitting in the dining chair, she felt like the chair was burning her butt. Were they going to eat gold tonight? Hill Dawson was very surprised when she found out that Daisy Zane had been staying in the Evesting Pce. Her understanding of Daisy Zane was that she had a connection with the Miles Family. Moreover, when John Anderson told her to bring her here, he did indeed give her a few instructions. But she thought it was because of the rtionship between John Anderson and the Miles Family, so she merely paid lip service. Later, when the characters were changed, John Anderson didnt intervene. She could see that Daisy Zane was actually different from the information she had received. Butbutthisthis is too different. Daisy Zane took Kevin rk to the kitchen. The kitchen was over forty square meters in size, and the wall directly opposite the entrance had no decorations, looking like a solid wooden nk. Bare. Daisy Zane felt for the groove on the side of the wooden nk and lightly pulled it. The wooden nk automatically sensed and opened. What came into view was an entire wall of wine. Inside was a huge wine cab. The peach-colored wine cab, with transparent ss, contained countless bottles of wine in various varieties. Some were ced alone in separatepartments, while others were stacked together in a t row within a singlepartment. Kevin rks eyes shed with surprise. He roughly scanned the wine cab and noticed that almost all the prices of the wines were six figures or more, with some even reaching seven or eight figures. He knew this little girl liked to drink, but he hadnt expected her to like it to this extent. Which one to drink? Daisy Zane asked. Any is fine. Kevin rk smiled. Why not go ask Assistant Jackson and Daisy Zane still didnt know what that man with the stern face was called. His name is Thomas Firway. Thomas Firway? Daisy Zane nced at the wine cab and said casually, Are there any others named Alfie Ward, Juan Wright or something like that? Ill introduce you to them when theres a chance. Really? Not bad, quite gossipy. Daisy Zanemented. Kevin rk smiled, reached for a bottle of wine and said, No need to worry about them. I want to drink this one. Daisy Zane nced at him and then smiled, saying, As you wish. The two of them were standing in a backlit position, and the shadows softened Daisy Zanes powder-pink lips when she smiled. She looked like the clear snow under the sunlight. Clean, cold and dazzlingly stunning. Kevin rk looked at her, eyes deepening. Daisy Zane felt a subtle sense of danger and looked at him, squinting her eyes. Kevin rk sensed her scrutinizing gaze, took a silent breath and returned to his usual demeanor, saying, Lets go. After dinner, Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway tidied up, cleaned, and left. Hill Dawson helped Daisy Zane pack. Upon entering the bedroom and the opening of the wardrobe, Hill Dawson was surprised once again by the sight of the clothes inside, but she quickly regained herposure. Compared to those three men before, this was already a small scene. Take a few more casual clothes, theyll befortable and convenient when you need to switch outfits. Hill Dawson said. Daisy Zane followed her instructions and took out the clothes. Zane, is that Third Master called Kevin rk part of the Imperial City Leafield Family? Earlier, Kevin rk had introduced himself. Yes. Hill Dawson couldnt help but gasp, the Imperial City Leafield Family was not something ordinary people like them could easilye across. After a while, she asked, Do you two He lives opposite me. Daisy Zane said while folding clothes, We know each other and asionally have dinner together. Had it not been for the sudden reminder of Michael Jackson, Hill Dawson almost believed her words, He obviously likes you, even having his assistant serve as our driver. With the folded clothes in the suitcase, Daisy Zane gave a light smile, her emotions ambiguous, There are quite a few people who like me. Hill Dawson found it hard to respond, but she had to admit it was because of her face, What about your feelings for Kevin rk? Daisy Zanes expression faltered for a moment and she said after a short pause, I quite like seeing him. Because seeing him made her happy. For Daisy Zane, Kevin rk was like a sedative. Hill Dawson really couldnt tell what Daisy Zane was thinking. Her words sounded devoid of emotions like reciting a textbook. It was truly worrisome. Dont worry, Ill try not to cause you any trouble, Daisy Zane saw her concern and reassured her. However, Hill Dawson wasnt reassured at all. In fact, she felt even more worried about her future hair turning white when listening to those words.. Chapter 29 - 29: Reunion at Sky Rights Bar Chapter 29: Reunion at Sky Rights Bar Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Having packed everything up, Hill Dawson left. Daisy Zane hung the remaining clothes back up, and was about to go wash and rinse when her phone rang. It was Holt Lawrence calling. Daisy Zane answered: Whats up? Sky Rights Bar, two transaction groups in room 319, Samuel Gray cant watch them all by himself. Daisy Zanes expression instantly turned cold: Ill be right there. Samuel Gray contacted me during a gap, told me all the specific information, Ill send it to you. Alright. As Daisy Zane was responding, she opened the wardrobe and took out a ck backpack from inside, picked up the car keys from the cab near the entrance, and headed to the parking lot. Sky Rights Bar is part of Sky Rights Hotel, right next to it. The fifth floor is directly essible to the Sky Rights Hotel. The two transaction private rooms are on the fourth floor, so its very convenient to escape by going up a floor and then leaving through the hotel. Wearing a mask, Daisy Zane arrived and booked a private booth on the fifth floor and ordered some bottles of wine. The waiter brought the wine and led her to the private rooms entrance. Daisy Zane took a few hundred bills from her pocket, handed them to the waiter, and said, My friends will be hereter, so no need to call anyone. The waiter immediately understood the situation, took the money, thanked her, and left. Daisy Zane locked the door of the room and changed her clothes in the restroom. She hadnt changed her clothes sinceing back from the drama crew today. She was suspended by a wire and practiced martial arts moves at the crew, so she wore casual pants and a white T-shirt. She put on the coat and pants directly over her clothes and changed into Martin boots. Then, she touched the gun in her bag, decided against using it, and left it there. Dressed and back in the room, she opened two bottles of wine, poured both sses, and waited for the time toe. Samuel Grays message to Holt Lawrence specified which private room she should go to, as well as the timing of her move. Holt Lawrence would also have to disable the surveince on his end. After fifteen minutes, Holt Lawrence sent her an ok hand gesture. Daisy Zane put down the wine ss, put back on her mask and the hat on her coat. The hat covered half her face, but she could still see through the coarse fabric to see what was outside. There was no one in the fifth-floor corridor. Daisy Zane left the room and quickly arrived at the designated private room entrance on the fourth floor. The surveince at the bar had been hacked, the bodyguards were getting nervous, and they began protecting each floor. The bars guests still didnt know what was going on. Daisy Zane knocked on the private room door. A voice soon came from inside: Who is it? What do you want? Sir, your order of wine. Daisy Zane said. You got the wrong room; we didnt order any wine. The voice shouted from inside. Its from the guests in room 420 for Mr. Sun. Daisy Zane said calmly, relying on the information from Samuel Gray. After a while, the door was slightly opened from inside. As soon as there was a gap, Daisy Zane held the door and pushed it open, entering the room. There were seven or eight people in the room, seemingly in the middle of a transaction. As soon as they saw her enter, they immediately became alert, and several people stood up: What do you want! Her gaze fell on several sealing bottles on the table, then without a word, Daisy Zane took action. Three minutester, all the people were lying on the ground, unable to get up or even speak. Daisy Zane was quite heavy-handed, as if venting anger on them. What they knew, Samuel Gray knew too, so there was no need to ask them anything. So Daisy Zane took the bottles of medicine from the table and left right away. More and more bodyguards were gathering in the corridor, Daisy Zane managed to avoid two of them but bumped into two other women. One of them even shouted, which immediately caught the bodyguards attention, and they starteding in their direction. Daisy Zane didnt care about the two of them, and went straight to the same floor, where Samuel Gray was. Samuel Gray already knew the specific location in Red Cliff Vige, and the action tonight was to intercept 319 and send all the people involved in the transactions in. So, Samuel Gray directly fell out with them and wouldnt go back afterward. Brother Nine. Samuel Gray came out of the private room and saw Daisy Zane. His eyes, which were full of anger just now, suddenly turned into a smile, as if he was a silly son. Bodyguards areing. Split up and leave, Daisy Zane said, Meet at 506 on the fifth floor. Dont hurt anyone. Okay. Five minutester, Daisy Zane returned to the private room, put her clothes and shoes in her backpack, and sat back down to drink wine slowly. Three minutester, Samuel Gray came in. Brother Nine. Its been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much. He took off the baseball cap that was buckled on his head, revealing a head full of gray hair, and walked over to hug Daisy Zane. But he was stopped by Daisy Zanes sharp gaze. He fumbled with his slightly deformed hair and sat next to Daisy Zane, Brother Nine, how about that? I performed well this time, right? Mmm, youve grown up. Daisy Zane was texting Holt Lawrence, asking him to restore the surveince. Samuel Gray put his hat in Daisys backpack and took a sip of wine. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which looked particrly beautiful when heughed. His skin was white and tender, and he was about 6ft lin tall. A very likable appearance. But every time Daisy Zane saw him, the words rebellious child appeared in her mind because Robinson Scott often muttered them in her ear. Samuel Gray looked exactly like a rebellious child. Brother Nine Call me sister, Daisy Zane interrupted him. Samuel Gray closed his mouth, then immediately smiled and said, Sister, I heard from Big Boss Lawrence that youre going to be filming. Can I be your assistant, or even your driver? I havent been with you for a long time As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Samuel Gray immediately looked at the entrance, his peach blossom eyes filled with anger. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, took a sip of wine and said, Its okay. The door was knocked on three more times before it was pushed open. Daisy Zane looked up. She thought she would see the bars bodyguards, but she didnt expect to see Michael Jackson. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows in surprise, but Michael Jackson just looked back and forth between her and Samuel Gray and turned to leave. Whats going on? What expression is that? Was he stunned by my handsomeness? Samuel Gray blurted out three questions in a row. Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open again. The door was opened by Michael Jackson, and Kevin rk was standing at the entrance. At first nce, he saw Daisy Zane, and at the second nce, he saw Samuel Gray. Samuel Gray immediately sensed hostility, and his eyes instantly hardened. However, Kevin rk only looked at him once and then shifted his gaze away, sitting down next to Daisy Zane and saying, Came to see friends? Mmm, Daisy Zane replied, ncing at the entrance, Why is Third Master Knowing that the man was just a friend, Kevin slightly rxed, but still didnt want to look at him any more than necessary. He said, Someone reported that the bar had illegal transactions. When we arrived, the gang had been beaten down, but the attacker had fled. The bars surveince was hacked, and the bodyguards saw a man in ck, so our people and the bodyguards were searching the private rooms. Holt Lawrence sold the Red Cliff Viges news to Kevin. The news of the bar tonight was kept secret since they were going to take action. It was a real coincidence, as they bumped into Kevin rk. They were just a step behind, though. Daisy Zane didnt expect him to tell her so much. She wasnt sure if those words were deliberately said to test her and Samuel Grays intention. She slowly took a sip of wine and asked, Why didnt you call the police? The police came, the bar and hotel area has been sealed, Kevin replied. So, we cant leave for a while? Samuel Gray appeared very anxious, I really want to leave early. Kevin Walker looked at the backpack between Samuel Gray and Daisy Zane and said, The man in ck took something very important away. To leave, you need to be searched.. Chapter 30 - 30: Kevin Clark’s Trust Chapter 30: Kevin rks Trust Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Samuel Gray followed Kevin rks gaze andnded on the backpack beside himself,ughing, So simple. I thought we would be sealed here for a while. Since the belongings are important, its right for us to cooperate with the inspection. Daisy Zane showed no emotion, but there was a trace of cruelty in her eyes as she stared at the red liquid in the wine ss. Kevin rk nced at Samuel Grays silly grin, and then looked at Daisy, asking, Shall we head back as its gettingte? Yeah. Daisy finished thest bit of wine in her ss, grabbed her bag, and stood up. She didnt want to cause too much trouble, but if they took the thing from her bag, she wouldnt care anymore. Samuel was a step slow and started to stand up as well, saying, Sister, let me hold it for you. Kevin rk looked at the backpack, asking, Yours? Yeah, Daisy replied. Kevin thought the bag belonged to the man beside Daisy as he had never seen her with a bag before. He stretched out his hand to take it, Ill carry it. Seeing him take the bag, Samuel subconsciously gripped the other side of the backpack, ring at Kevin, Its my sisters, Ill hold it. Kevin didnt look at him and directly asked Daisy, Your younger brother? No, she picked up the two unopened bottles of wine from the table, unzipped the backpack, put them in, and zipped it up again, My son. Kevin rk: Samuel immediately looked at Daisy and called out without any burden, Daddy. Daisy Zane: . Kevin couldnt help but smile, then grabbed the backpack and held it in his hand, saying, Lets go. Samuel nced at his empty hands, clenched his fingers but said nothing since Daisy didnt speak up. The entire bar was under control, with only the police, the bars bodyguards, and Kevins men present. An intense inspection was being conducted at the entrance. Samuel counted the number of people and assessed the security. He appeared nonchnt but was prepared to act at any moment. However, Kevin simply carried the backpack, greeted the people at the entrance, and led them out. Samuel blinked, not quite understanding. As they walked towards the parking lot, Daisy asked, Arent you going to check Losing that thing is very dangerous. This level of strict investigation is for fear of someone misusing it or it falling into the hands of criminals. As Kevin spoke, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over Daisys shoulders, Its getting cold, wear more when you go out. He didnt answer directly, but Daisy understood. If the item was with her, his words just now served as a reminder that it was dangerous and should not be used. As for the second reason, Kevin trusted her and wouldntbel her as a criminal. So even if the item was with her, he was at ease. Apart from these factors, Daisy knew that Kevin probably still thought the chances of her being involved in the incident were slim. After all She had been quite harsh earlier. Her image in his mind hadnt reached that extent yet. As she smelled the scent of Eaglewood, Daisy smiled with her head down. Daisy and Samuel had both drunk wine, so they couldnt drive. Thus, she didnt mention driving herself and directly took Kevins car back to Evesting Pce, nning to let Samuel drive the car back the next day. At Evesting Pce, the elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor. Daisy and Kevin bid farewell, and she prepared to go home with Samuel. But Kevin suddenly called out to her. Lucia. Daisy turned to look at him, Whats wrong? Let him stay at my ce. What do you want to do? Samuel immediately hid behind Daisy, Although you look good, I, I dont do everything. Kevin didnt bother with him, instead telling Daisy, Its inconvenient for him to stay at your ce. Whats inconvenient? Samuel Gray retorted. Kevin rk still ignored him, only speaking to Daisy Zane: I have toiletries and a change of clothes at my ce, all convenient. Daisy Zane thought about it and indeed, it was true. When this kid was young, he dressed him in a skirt. Now, even if he wanted to wear a skirt, he wouldnt be able to fit into it. Moreover, he would definitely be annoying and not let people sleep. Sister, I dont want to. Samuel Gray sensed Daisy Zanes wavering and immediately grabbed her arm and shook it. Kevin rks eyes immediately fell on his hand, his expression as if he wanted to chop off Samuel Grays hand. Lucia. Kevin rk called out to her. Daisy Zane cleared her throat, grasped Samuel Grays wrist, and pulled his hand down, saying, That would be troublesome. Sister! You, you dont want me anymore. How can you hand me over to a stranger? What if he has ill intentions towards me? Im so beautiful, how can you be at ease? I Ow! Daisy Zane gave him a kick in his leg: Be quiet. Oh. Samuel Gray immediately behaved himself. His name is James Collins. Daisy Zane introduced, Its a bother to you, Im going to sleep now. Samuel Gray had a code name, and Daisy Zane would usually call him by his real name in normal circumstances. Kevin rk smiled gently: Alright, good night. Behave yourself. Daisy Zane patted James Collinss head, and then she mercilessly opened and closed the door, leaving him outside. Got it. James Collins replied and looked at Kevin rk, the corner of his mouth twitching. This person was clearly smiling, but why was he so scary? Wasnt he gentle just now? Could it be his misunderstanding? This person seemed a little dangerous. But with his thin arms, thin waist, and long legs, he should not be able to beat himself. With that thought, James Collins felt at ease and followed Kevin rk home. After going to the bar anding back, Daisy Zane already researched all those elixirs and stored them properly. When she finally went to bed, it was already three oclock in the morning. And the next day at not even six in the morning, she was awakened by a phone call from Hill Dawson. Sister Emily, whats wrong? Did something happen at the drama crew? Other than something happening at the drama crew, Daisy Zane couldnt think of any other reason for her to call so early. No, no. Hill Dawsons voice sounded quite happy, Lucia, did you act in a movie a few months ago? Daisy Zane snuggled back into her quilt, her voice muffled, Mm. The movie had a premierest night. Hill Dawson said, Youre a sensation! Hahahaha As soon as sheughed, Daisy Zane sobered up quite a bit. In that movie, she only appeared in one scene, but she also roughly looked at the script. It was a suspenseful theme. It left a lingering suspense in the end. And she was that final suspense, only one scene, where she smiled at the lens. A pretty ordinary smile, but it left infinite room for imagination. Lucia, you just had that one scene, but it was so amazing. Hill Dawson said, The movie itself is popr, well-produced, and has a great script. Your appearance at the end was like a mini-climax. Now everyone online is praising you, asking who this stunningdy is. Youre currently 18th on the Hot Searches. Daisy Zane responded casually. Hill Dawson: This is a great opportunity. We must take advantage of the hype for marketing. Lucia, do you have a Facebook? No. Daisy Zane replied, Help me register one, and you can manage it for me afterward. Alright, you just wait, Ill definitely make the most of this trend. Mm.. Chapter 31 - 31: Scheming Third Master Chapter 31: Scheming Third Master Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Arthur, whats the matter? Its early in the morning. Allonzo Hobson received a call from Kevin rk just past seven oclock, and he still sounded groggy. Her hot topic is having its heat reduced, lets notify them about it. Kevin rk was sitting on the Sofa, brewing tea. Allonzo Hobson was stunned for a moment before he realized who this her was referring to. He opened his Facebook to check and instantly became clear-headed: Holy shit? This is really blowing up. Kevin rk did not respond. Allonzo Hobson scrolled further down and said, I just went to bed earlyst night, did I miss something? Otherwise, this hot topic could not fall out of the top five. Just notify them not to reduce the heat, thats all thats needed. Kevin rk said, taking a sip of his tea. Understood. Allonzo Hobson knew that a neer just started gaining attention, too much heat is not necessarily a good thing, Ill make the call. Ok. After hanging up the call, Kevin rk had someone brought the movie over. He first watched the movie at double speed, then repeatedly watched Daisy Zanes scenes. It was past nine oclock, James Collins came out of the guest room in home clothes that belonged to Kevin rk, and his hair was a mess. He went outside without even washing up. Harry rk stopped him: Where are you going? Looking for my sister. James Collins ruffled his own hair and opened the door. She hasnt woken up yet, dont disturb her. Kevin rk was quite bothered by his habit of looking for people without even washing up. How do you know my sister hasnt woken up? asked James Collins. She turned off her light past three oclockst night, and she needs to go to the drama crew in the afternoon. Kevin rk didnt answer him. James Collins scratched his head again and came back, saying, How do you know everything? Kevin rk didnt pay him attention and continued to watch the movie on his cell phone. James Collins plopped himself down opposite him, with his legs crossed, his arms folded, and staring at Kevin rk. Last night, this man just gave him a set of clothes, pointed him to the guest room, and then didnt say a word to him. He was so gentle in front of his sister, but once he turned his head, he was like a changed person, his whole body radiating a do not approach and untouchable aura. Particrly that aura of a high-ranking person, mysterious and eerie. Luckily he was a materialist, otherwise he might have thought there were fairies. As for his current impression of rk, apart from his devilishly handsome face, those devilishly beautiful eyes that were irresistible, thin waist and long legs, smooth skin, he did not find anything likable about him. After a while, James Collins slightly huffed, his peach blossom eyes filled with defiance, Do you know how many people are pursuing my sister? Do you know how excellent those people are? Kevin rk looked up at him, his slender eyes carrying a subtle fierceness. Seeing that he finally responded to him, James Collins raised his eyebrows in pleasure, somewhat like the expression Daisy would have. What about you? Kevin rk sipped his tea, Are you in that long list of people? Why would I be? James Collins had a you must be joking look on his face, Thats my sister, how could I have that kind of thoughts. Shes not a real sister. Even though we are not real siblings, shes more than a real sister to me, James Collins was clearly stubborn about this. Kevin rk lightly chuckled and poured him a cup of tea, How old are you? Twenty. Im young. Humph. James Collins shook his legs. How long have you known Lucia? Kevin rk asked casually. But James Collins became alert, he picked up the tea and took a sip, Why should I tell you all this. Tsk! Kevin rkughed, tapped his leg twice with his index finger, dismissing his urge to smack him. Daisy Zane slept until noon. At past eight oclock, Johannes Miles had called her twice, but she did not answer and turned off her phone. After she woke up and turned on her phone, she said a word to Kevin rk. Once she had finished washing up, Kevin rk was just knocking on the door with a meal. James Collins had changed into one of Kevin rks outfits, with the pant legs rolled up and sleeves also rolled up, hanging loose. He snickered at the sight of the door-knocking, Dont you have the passcode either? Kevin rk ignored him. As Daisy Zane opened the door, James Collins immediately disyed a very obedient smile, Sister, good morning. Its past morning. Daisy Zane moved aside to let him in, then greeted Kevin rk with a raise of her eyebrows. Once inside, James Collins removed his shoes and was about to switch into Kevin rks slippers. However, he was pulled back by Daisy Zanes grip on his cor, There are disposable ones in the shoe cab. If youre going to stay here in the future, buy a pair. Alright. James Collins didnt mind. He took a pair of disposables, put them on, and went in. After that, he observed everything along the way, chattering non-stop. His mouth seemed like it couldnt be closed. Plus, he would continuously call out sister if Daisy Zane didnt respond every few sentences. Kevin rk arranged the dishes he had bought onto tes while listening to James Collinss voice, and suddenly felt that Daisy Zane was sometimes very patient, possibly from being ground down by this kid. James Collins,e eat. Daisy Zanes voice was colder than usual. Got it. James Collins responded. But when Kevin rk served her the rice and the soup, he still hadnt arrived. Daisy Zane stirred the soup with her spoon and whispered, One, two Sister, here I am! Here I am! James Collins immediately ran into the dining room, sat next to Daisy Zane, and giggled, Dont be mad, Im here. Kevin rk served him a bowl of rice too, feeling that their way of getting along implied that James Collins must have known Daisy Zane since he was in his teens. And that he was indeed raised by Daisy Zane. Did he disturb youst night? Daisy Zane asked Kevin rk. Sister, how could I? Im super-behaved. James Collinss peach blossom eyes curved up into a smile. Daisy Zane nced at him, then waited for Kevin rk to speak. Kevin rk served her food and said, He was quite goodst night. Sister, see? Ive grown up, I am sensible now. But this morning, he told me that many people are pursuing you, and theyre all very excellent. Told me to be careful and to know my own limitations, Kevin rk served Daisy Zane a piece of fish that hed picked out the bones from, then sighed softly, and he threatened me. He said if I have any delusional ideas, Id get beaten until I cant even recognize my father. James Collins choked, looking up at Kevin rk in disbelief. When had he ever said something like that? Daisy Zane looked over at James Collins, who quickly shrank back, Sister, listen to me. I didnt say that. I didnt, really. Hes lying to you. Daisy Zane kept her gaze on him. James Collins got nervous, I, I didnt say so much. Of course, Daisy Zane knew that thetter part about beating him up wasnt what hed said. But that one sentence he did say exposed Kevin rks intention,ying it out on the surface. Even though its obvious to anyone with eyes, seeing it and saying it are two different things. Kevin rks sentence threw both of them into the mix. Daisy Zane looked leisurely towards Kevin rk, coldness filled her eyes. Kevin rk met her gaze with a gentle and candid smile in his eyes. He withstood her icy nce and after a few seconds, said, Dont be mad. Daisy Zane didnt respond, but the chill in her eyes did die down slightly.. Chapter 32 - 32: Johanes Miles follows the trail Chapter 32: Johanes Miles follows the trail Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zane was the type that, if things didnt go her way or if she was provoked, she wouldnt budge once she made up her mind. However, she was very receptive to Kevin rk showing her his submissive side. Perhaps it was because Kevins usual aura was too strong, or maybe it was because he met all of her aesthetic preferences. When he showed his vulnerability, she would lower her boundaries. Daisy stared at him for a while, then lowered her eyes and continued eating. Kevin smiled and helped her with the food. James Collins blinked, unable to understand why his sister let it go so easily. Wasnt she supposed to stand up and punch him to the ground? Why did she just start eating? He didnt understand, not at all. After a while, Kevin went to wash his hands and came back to help Daisy with peeling the shrimp: Be careful after you join the drama crew, and dont be overly aggressive. In the future, when it gets cold, wear warm clothes and dont drink cold water. Ive prepared some medicine for you, with clear instructions on how to use it. Take it with you this afternoon. Mm. Daisy tasted a shrimp, and it was tasty, so she ate another. Then she gave a few unpeeled ones to James. Ill ask Michael Jackson toe with you this afternoon, and Ill visit you on set in a few days. Daisy ced two peeled ones in Kevins bowl. Kevin smiled and continued, Dont let anyone bully you. If someone has bad intentions or an ill heart, beat them up. If anything happens, Ill handle it. If theres someone you cant beat, tell me and Ill beat them up for you. Daisy nced at his thin wrist and slender fingers, thinking that she might actually be more capable than him. Watching the two interact, James noticed something off about his sister and felt somewhat redundant in retrospect. After finishing the meal, Daisy packed a few more things and waited for Hill Dawson to join her in heading to the drama crew. Kevin directly handed her a small suitcase full of medicine for internal and external use, as well as items for dealing with injuries, headaches, colds, and even some health-promoting and warming items. Actually its not that cold right now. Daisy thought Kevin either had health issues or misunderstood the weather, so she kindly reminded him. Use them when needed. Kevin smiled and didnt say much else. Daisy felt like there might be another meaning to his words, but before she could think about it, her cell phone rang. Seeing the call was from Hill, she answered, Are you here? Not yet, Daisy. We just left Maple Elite Entertainment, and at some point, a car started following us. I just checked the license te number, and it seems to be from the Miles Family. Ive seen it once before at thepanys entrance, but Im not too sure. Maple Elite Entertainment provided a nanny car, and Hill went to thepany to get the car first. Daisy pinched her fingers, asking, Where are you now? Hearing her tone grow colder, both Kevin and James looked at her. Were on Sunrise Road, Hill said, I asked the driver to take a detour and try to shake them off. No need, let them follow. Daisy, they might be ill-intentioned. And your address will be exposed. Although Daisys resume indeed listed her residential address, it wasnt Evesting Pce but an old residential estate instead. Its okay. Sooner orter, well meet, and theyll find out. Alright, Ill text you when we arrive. After hanging up the phone, Kevin asked, Whats going on? James was about to speak, but Kevin cut in, so he closed his mouth again. Its nothing, just someone from the Miles Familying over. Daisy didnt take it to heart and turned to her bedroom to fetch her suitcase. Calcting that Hill Dawson should be arriving soon, they took their suitcases downstairs. They took the suitcases directly to the parking lot, put them in the car and then drove to the entrance of the residential estate. The building they lived in was quite far from the entrance. They had originally nned to have the nanny care in, but Kevin rk said that he had to go out soon and could just drive out, so he thought it was convenient. At the entrance, Kevin rk, Michael Jackson, and James Collins, three men, one more handsome than the other, trailed Daisy Zane. In the past few months, quite a few people had moved into Evesting Pce. Most of them were older, and elderly men and women constantly looked towards their direction from outside the estate. Even an olddy came over to introduce a girlfriend to Kevin rk. Kevin was very polite and bent over when talking to the olddy. No one knew what he had said to her. The olddy left with a kind smile, looking at Daisy Zane several times. In the end, Daisy got a bit annoyed from being stared at, so she put on a mask and also handed one to Kevin rk: Put it on. In this tone that didnt allow for rejection, Kevin rk smiled and said, Alright. Both of them had put on their masks, and James Collins also leaned in and asked, Sister, why didnt you give me one? Let the uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas have a good look at you and introduce girlfriends to you too. Youre not that young anymore and should be getting married. Daisy Zane only showed her phoenix eyes, giving off an even more aloof feeling. Sister! Im only twenty! Hmm. Youll be eligible to get a certificate in two years C just perfect. Daisy Zane said. I dont want to. James Collins muttered softly, then turned his face away from everyone. After a few more minutes, the nanny car came over. As soon as the car stopped, Hill Dawson came over, greeted Kevin rk first, then greeted Michael Jackson, saw another boy, nodded to him, and pulled Daisy Zane to chat. That car followed us. Daisy Zane took a nce at the nanny car behind them: James Collins, move the luggage to the car. Okay. James Collins and Michael Jackson moved the luggage, while Daisy went straight to the back. As soon as she walked over there, Johanes Miles got out of the car. He was wearing a perfectly fitting suit, a watch worth millions on his wrist, even each hair exuding elegance. Looking at him like this, Daisy felt like throwing him into Cold Green Vige, letting him experience working outside in the heavy rain and have a taste of not having enough to eat. I really underestimated you, managing to live in a ce like this. Johanes Miles said condescendingly and sarcastically. And I overestimated you, to the point you stoop so low as stalking. Daisy Zane said, hands in pockets, What, is the Miles family stable now? Got time toe and deal with me? Daisy Zane, is this how your grandmother taught you? Have you no respect for your elders? Are you considered elder or worthy? What about you is worth my respect? Is it the infidelity during your marriage? Or abandoning your wife and daughter? Daisy said softly. You! What do you mean? Johanes Miles face showed a sudden panic, but then immediately regainedposure. That matter had already been cleaned up, everything that needed to be destroyed was destroyed, and all the connections needed were established. Theres no proof. No one would believe it. I have a meetingter, I dont want to waste time talking to you. His driver handed Johanes Miles a file bag, and he stretched his hand out to take it. Here are two sets of property, both in Imperial Capital, in good locations. There are also twond parcels, one in Imperial Capital and one in Truro City. Additionally, theres a card with 5 million in it. As I said before, I will be depositing money in it every month. These things are enough for you to spend in a lifetime, even if you dont do anything every day. Johanes Miles: All these are yours. I only have one request. Leave Maple Elite Entertainment and stay away from the entertainment and performance circles. Daisy Zane looked at the file bag in his hand and didnt show any intention of taking it, her hands still in her pockets. Seeing this, Johanes Miles said, Daisy Zane, think carefully about your own identity.. An illegitimate daughter is unting herself around C are you inviting people tough at you? Chapter 33 - 33: Third Master Comes to the Door Chapter 33: Third Master Comes to the Door Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Johanes Miles voice wasnt loud, but James Collins heard every word clearly. Fury was about to burst from his peach blossom eyes. He raised his foot, ready to step forward and hit someone: Damn it, this b*stard! But Kevin rk held him back. Swiveling his wrist, James tried but failed to break free. He red at Kevin. Kevins expression was calm, except for an eerie glint in his eyes, Dont distract her performance. Huh? James was genuinely confused and his annoyed expression appeared ratherical. Kevin pulled him back and paid no more attention to him, instead focusing on Daisy Zane. After hearing Johanes Miles words, Daisy chuckled, Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are youughing at me? Youre the one who cheated. You! You Rage colored Johanes Miles face, and in a low voice, he snapped, Even if no oneughs at you, what about your mother? Where do you ce her? What does my mother have to do with this? Youre the one who cheated, Daisy replied slowly, The illegitimate child isnt mine. Do you think no one will ever find out about your affairs just because youve erased all traces? Hearing her words, Kevins left eyebrow twitched. So, she knew everything. What do you mean? Stop pretending. We both know whats going on. Daisy looked into his eyes, a tremor running through her eyshes before she lowered her gaze and continued, Youre afraid of losing face, beingughed at or having some secrets exposed. So, dont bother me and take care of your own affairs. Daisy Zane, let me tell you, if you dare to spread lies by taking advantage of your fame, I have methods to make you disappear, Johanes Miles warned in a low voice. Didnt you also sayst time that youd make me lose my ce in the entertainment industry? Well, you shouldve carried out your threat. The tone of her voice was a little provocative, and Kevin couldnt help but lower his head and chuckle. From the time he saw her confront Amelia Miles at the entrance of Maple Elite Entertainment, Kevin knew that despite her seemingly aloof demeanor, Daisy was actually quite bold and outspoken. When angry, she could be very sarcastic, gently provoking her target. Dont be too smug. Johanes Miles shook the file bag in his hand, Take this stuff and be obedient. Dont cause trouble, and Ill treat you well. But if you insist on going down this path, dont me me for being ruthless. Do whatever you want, Johanes Miles. Did you think I came to Truro City just to live a peaceful life? Daisys expression was cold as she stared into his eyes, Some people havent even beenid to rest yet, and youre already celebrating your new marriage and enjoying afortable life. The debt you owe needs to be repaid, and the punishment you deserve must be endured. Having said that, Daisy turned away without looking back and walked towards the nanny car. Johanes Miles was momentarily stunned by her gaze. When he recovered and saw that she was leaving, he instinctively wanted to chase after her. But then he caught Kevins gaze. A powerful oppressive force suddenly enveloped him, and Johanes Miles abruptly stopped, shivering in fear. Even with his mask on, Johanes Miles could feel the aura of someone who viewed others as mere ants, capable of crushing him with ease. Daisy walked to Kevins side and looked up at him, Dont scare people. Kevin slowly withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes to look at her. Seeing that her mood wasnt affected, he figured she was probably satisfied with her performance. In a gentle voice, he said, Alright. Daisy smiled, opened the door to the nanny car, and said, Im leaving. Mmm, good luck. Maple Elite Entertainment had provided Daisy with a nanny car and driver, but she only kept the car and dismissed the driver. James had already figured out the location of the transaction in Red Cliff Vige. They were waiting for a batch of modified elixir to be delivered. This information was secretly overheard by James. Not only did they want to seize the elixir, more importantly, they also wanted to capture the person delivering it. It had been over a year since the appearance of this elixir. Some had lost their sanity because of it, and others had even died. Several powerful factions were investigating its origins, but they still hadnt found any useful information. Even Celestial Pivot hadnt found anything. All their transactions were offline, and they left no trace of their activities online. The person responsible for transporting the elixir this time was a key figure. After receiving the moneyst time, Holt Lawrence gave Kevin the specific information when he obtained it. They were also waiting. So Michael Jackson went to Red Cliff Vige not just for her protection but also probably in connection with this matter. To make it easier for Kevin, Daisy didnt refuse his help this time and allowed Michael to act as her driver. As the car moved smoothly down the road, Daisy checked her phone for a while before closing her eyes. She touched the pendant around her neck through her clothes. After a while, she heard Hill Dawsonsughter and opened her eyes to have a look. She saw him holding his cell phone,ughing like a love-struck young girl. Feeling her gaze, Hill Dawson nced at her and suppressed his smile, saying, This morning, Best Actor Dunn was photographed arriving at the hotel. I have to say, with Dunns good looks, his deep eyes, his skin, his body, everything. He is almost thirty, but still looks like an 18-year-old boy. Daisy Zane: . Really, Lucia, you should see this candid picture, its amazing. Hill Dawson handed his phone to her. Daisy Zane didnt look: They are everywhere on the street, Im tired of seeing them. Well, you still have many scenes with him. Hill Dawson thought about it and realized that with someone like Kevin rk by her side, who else could she look up to? A month of preparation before filming started. George Dunn had been there for three days, read the script with the female lead, had his costume fitting, and then never came back. He was said to have taken a cameo role in a movie abroad and just returned the day before yesterday. Daisy Zane hadnt even seen him. Our show is really amazing; we got George Dunn on board. Theres no way it wont be a big hit. At 26, George won best actor and has never epted scripts from anyone other than the screenwriting god, Catherine God. Hill Dawson said, flipping through the photos, This is only because Catherine God hasnt released a script recently, so Dunn agreed to work with the director. Daisy Zane unscrewed the cap on her thermos and took a sip of water, lowering the sunshade, acknowledging that she was listening. Youve heard of Catherine, havent you? Screenwriting god, won all the awards. Hill Dawson suddenly became very excited, Three years ago, George Dunns first movie was also Catherine Gods first script. One won best actor, and the other won the golden script award. Ive heard a little about it. Daisy Zane said indifferently. Over the years, Best Actor Dunn has only acted in Catherines scripts. And in Catherines scripts, the male lead must be George Dunn. Although no one has ever seen Catherine God, George epted the awards on her behalf. But the stories about the best actor and screenwriting god have been widely circted online. Daisy Zane: . What if Catherine is a man? Does it matter if its a man or a woman? Does it hinderizens enjoyment of their rtionship? Dont be so hung up on gender. Daisy Zanes face remained expressionless, but inwardly she waspletely speechless. What a mess all this was. Lucia, maybe one day well be chosen by Catherine God. And then well have made it. Daisy Zane didnt say anything, turned her head to look out the window, and closed her eyes. It was past eight oclock in the evening. Johanes Miles finished his socializing at the Doomsday Hotel and was ready to go home. He had had some drinks, but not too much. His mind was clear, though his face was a little flushed. The driver followed behind him, carefully, reminding him of the steps beneath his feet from time to time. Upon reaching the parking lot, Johanes Miles walked a few steps, looked at the empty lot, feeling a little creepy. He hesitated and quickened his pace. The driver also sensed something was wrong and said, Director Miles, something feels off about this parking lot. Just as he finished speaking, arge number of people dressed in ck suddenly appeared from all directions, surrounding them. Johanes Miles immediately became alert and stood behind the driver, looking at them angrily, Who are you!? No one said anything; the group of people stood upright, looking fierce and menacing. It took almost a minute before the sound of footsteps came again, and the people in ck parted to make way in front of them. Arthur North slowly walked over, followed by Thomas Firway. The parking lot wasrge, somewhat gloomy, and the light was dim, with a group of people wearing ck emanating an intimidating aura. As Arthur North walked slowly over, his enchanting face emerged from the darkness. Johanes Miles seemed to see the king of hell from the underworlding for him. His originally flushed face instantly turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled involuntarily. Mr. Miles, we meet again. Arthur Norths face was adorned with a light smile, yet it was terrifying, and even his voice was frightening. The pupils of Johanes Miles trembled, and he recognized Arthur instantly. Not only because of his aura but also because of those distinctive eyes. Even though Arthur had been wearing a mask at noon, he could still recognize him now: What what do you want! This is the Doomsday Hotel, there are CCTV cameras everywhere. If you dare to hurt me or make trouble at the Doomsday Hotel Before he could finish speaking, Thomas Firway emerged from behind Arthur North and grabbed Johanes Miles cor, mming him against a nearby car. A loud bang apanied by a muffled groan from Johanes Miles. The back of the car was dented, leaving Johanes Miles rear feeling fuzzed for a moment. Arthur North approached, and when Johanes Miles had somewhat recovered, he said quietly, Do you think the cameras in this parking lot are turned on? You, you what what do you want to do Nothing. Arthur North stared directly at him, his face smiling, his voice like that of a devil in Johanes Miles ears, Just a warning. If you dare to mess with Daisy Zane or cause her trouble again, I will make sure that both you and the Miles Group vanishpletely.. Chapter 34 - 34: No Need to Show Me Such Great Courtesy Chapter 34: No Need to Show Me Such Great Courtesy Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Arthur, whats going on, what happened? After leaving the parking lot of Doomsday Hotel, Johanes Miles couldnt even walk a step. His legs were weak and his back was hurting, so the driver took him to the hospital first. After the examination, it turned out that his bones were not injured, but there was arge swelling on his back. Johanes Miles couldnt even walk straight; he could only be supported by others, bending and grimacing, having to stop every few steps. He had to lie down on the back seat on the way back. Apart from the pain, his face was flushed with shame. He had never felt so humiliated before. What happened? Did you have a car ident? Charles Hobson hurried over to help him, but ended up touching the painful area, causing Johanes Miles to gasp in pain. Dad, whats wrong with you? You should go to the hospital right away. Amelia Miles hurried over as well. The driver slowly supported him and said, Madam, youngdy, Sirs back is injured and swollen. Weve already been to the hospital; the doctor said hell be fine after resting for a while. They helped him walk to the sofa. After adjusting his position several times, he finally sat down with difficulty. After the driver left, the maid poured a ss of water. Charles Hobson handed him the cup and asked, What happened? All thanks to that damn girl. Johanes Miles said angrily. Who? Charles Hobson and his daughter exchanged nces, Daisy Zane? Who else could it be? Old Master Miles, who had been staying at the Miles Familys residence recently, heard themotion and came out, Whats going on? What happened to Daisy? What happened? Johanes Miles, who had always been filial and never raised his voice to Old Master, spoke with a heavy tone today, She tried to kill your son! Old Master Miles leaned on his cane and walked to the sofa. He was taken aback by Johanes Miles tone and noticed his pale face and awkward sitting posture, so he asked, What happened? Are you injured? I almost died! Johanes Miles picked up the ss of water from the tea table and threw it across the room. The sound of the ss shattering startled everyone, and Johanes Miles winced in pain as he grabbed his back, his face contorted in agony. She hired a bunch of thugs to surround me in Doomsday Hotels parking lot. They beat me and warned me that if I hinder her development in the entertainment industry, theyll kill me and make Miles Group go bankrupt! What a big mouth she has! What incredible skills! To have someone beat up her own father! Dont get too angry and hurt yourself further. Instead of saying anything else, Charles Hobsonforted Johanes Miles, rubbing his chest to help him calm down. Youre injured, dont get so worked up. Yeah, Dad, is there some misunderstanding here? Sister, how could she know such people? Amelia Miles said. What misunderstanding?! They even mentioned her name! Johanes Miles brushed Charles Hobsons hand away, Dont call her sister, shes not your sister! I, Johanes Miles, dont have such a daughter! Im saying this today; as long as Im alive, shell never set foot in the Miles Familys door again. Old Master Miles knew that the words were directed at him. He walked over and sat on the opposite sofa, touching his cane as he asked, How is the injury? Did you go to the hospital? Johanes Miles didnt answer. Seeing this, Charles Hobson said, Dad, weve already been to the hospital. The doctor said its nothing serious, but he needs to rest for a while. Old Master Miles nodded. After a while, he said, Who are the people who surrounded you? How dare they do it in Doomsday Hotels parking lot, did you check the surveince? I asked my assistant to inquire; Doomsday Hotel was forting and showed us the surveince. But the footage from the parking lot was stopped at that time. Doomsday Hotel said it was broken and just got repaired. Being able to control Doomsday Hotels parking lot and its surveince, this person is no simple matter. Dad, your son almost lost his life there, yet youre still wondering whether that persons background is simple or not. Johanes Miles was about to explode from anger. No, its not simple. The person behind Daisy Zane is not simple. But even so, theyre just a gang of thugs, bandits! What can they achieve, and what are they worth? Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles exchanged secret nces, with a hint of amusement in their eyes. Doomsday Hotel is like a den of iniquity. The Lane Familys waters run deep; its no big deal to them if they have one or two unsavory secrets. Who would dare to oppose the Lane Family? Johanes Miles continued. What kind of oue can one expect from associating with such people? Once something happens, theyll be the first to be sold out. Old Master Miles remained silent. Seeing him wavering, Johanes Miles went on, Dad, Ive said it before, a countryside girl like her, what skill could she have? Besides associating with a bunch of unsavory thugs and bandits, what else can she do? What kind of society is this, where we still resort to violence to solve problems? As for the Destiny Star entering her life, you believed it just like that. Old Master Miles still didnt say anything. After sitting for a while, he went upstairs on his own. Kevin rk called Daisy Zane as soon as he left the parking lot, but the call didnt evenst five minutes. Third Master rk looked at his call log and sighed deeply. When he was arguing with people, he could talk non-stop and never lost a battle. However, in normal conversations, he barely said anything, as if he was toozy to even open his mouth. Kevin rk sat in the car looking out the window, his lips curling up slightly. What would happen if they were in a long-distance rtionship in the future? It would be bad enough not being able to see each other, but they wouldnt even be able to talk much either. Third Master, Miss Maxwell ranked first in shooting in her military assessment this time. Thomas Firway suddenly said. Kevin rk clipped a high-definition still from the final scene of a movie that Daisy Zane starred in and set it as his chat wallpaper, ignoring Thomass words. Thomas nced at Kevin and thought of Daisy Zanes face, which made him angry. What was so good about that woman, besides her face? No family background, no education, no talent. She couldnt cook, couldnt fight, couldnt shoulder responsibilities, and was empty-handed. Literally good for nothing. What was wrong with his Third Master? He ignored the excellent Miss Maxwell in the Imperial Capital and came to this ce to serve such a person. Worse still, this woman barely said a word to him, cold and distance, as if she always kept people thousands of miles away from her. When did his Third Master suffer such treatment? Miss Maxwell was better in every aspect. She was talented in both culture and martial arts, everything one could want. Third Master, while you were away from Imperial Capital, Miss Maxwell visited the old mansion every now and then to see your father and Madam. Shed apany them on walks, listen to operas together, and go shopping with Madam. Thomas, Ill send you to the military district. Kevin rk said softly. His voice sent chills down Thomass spine, and he swallowed, Third Master, I was wrong. Kevin nced at him, and after cautioning him with his eyes, said nothing, and turned his attention to his phone contacts. He sent a message to someone named William Lane: [I borrowed your hotel tonight. When are youing back to Imperial Capital? Ill have someone send you a few rare lotus nts.] A few minutester, William Lane replied: [Dont bother, I dont want them. Theyll just die and Ill have to pay for them!] The next day at seven oclock in the morning, the drama crew held the opening ceremony. Important actors had arrived at the scene. The director and producer spoke first, briefly introducing the actors present. Then came the ritual of burning incense and praying. The director, producer, and screenwriter went first, followed by the male and female leads. Daisy Zane waited in the back. After the two leads finished their prayers and stood aside She stepped forward with the incense stick When she was two or three steps away from the incense burner, the female lead suddenly stretched her leg towards Daisys feet. If she tripped, not only would it be a bad omen at this time, but if she stumbled forward, it would also be easy for her to hit the incense burner and ruin her face. Then the show would be over. Many people saw the female leads move, some of them watching for fun, others feeling concerned. Hill Dawson even called out to Daisy. However, it was toote, as Daisy had already stepped forward. But just as the female lead was feeling triumphant, she herself fell to the ground, right next to Daisys feet. The sudden turn of events transformed her smug expression instantly into one of panic, and it was hrious. She really underestimated Daisy Zanes observational skills, reaction speed, agility, and the fact that she could have easily broken her leg if she used a little more force. Everyone looked over. Daisy Zane looked down at her, quietly saying, Ill y the role well, theres no need to kowtow to me, or go out of your way to show me such respect. As Hill Dawson ran over, she heard this sentence. While holding in herughter, she and the female leads assistant, as well as the male lead, quickly helped her up and exchanged pleasantries. The female lead was called Lilian Lopez. She red at Daisy Zane, but due to the crowd, she couldnte up with a suitable retort for a long time. Daisy didnt pay her any more attention, went to the middle, and prayed. Then she inserted the incense in the incense burner. She looked up at the wisps of smoke rising above the incense burner, drifting towards the sky, and touched the pendant inside her clothes. Chapter 35 - 35: I Won’t Let a Fool Act in My Script Chapter 35: I Wont Let a Fool Act in My Script Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Brother Michael, didnt you find that Daisy Zanes voice just now was very familiar? George Dunns assistant, Josh, said. After the initiation ceremony, they all went to the makeup room. After their makeup was done, filming began right away. George Dunn had his own makeup room, and his makeup team was also in-house. You also noticed it, didnt you? Doesnt it sound just like Brook God? I thought I heard it wrong. George Dunn suddenly opened his eyes. Brook God? the makeup artist said, Theres no one else with such a cold, yet pleasant voice. You didnt hear it, but it was so simr, Josh said, Especially the sentence she said to Lilian Lopez, it was almost the exact same tone as when Brook God scolded Brother Michael. Get out, that was clearly her loving greeting to me. When did she ever scold me? George Dunn red at his assistant, Hand me my cell phone, I have to tell Brook God about this. Josh handed over the phone with a smile: Besides, shes very pretty, so pretty that its almost against nature. I wonder what Brook God looks like. I wonder if shes also that pretty. Our Brook God relies on her talent. It wasnt that George Dunn thought Brook God was not pretty, he just had to admit that Daisy Zane was extremely beautiful. After seeing all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry over the years, she still managed to dazzle him with her stunning looks. George Dunn sent a message to Did Brook God reply today?: [Brook God, I met someone on the film set today whose speaking voice is exactly like yours.] When Daisy Zane received the message, she was waiting in the makeup room because the makeup artist hadnt reached her yet. As she looked at her phone, she replied with a message: [Hmm, its me.] George Dunn quickly replied back. NIAN: [Hahahaha, Brook God, youre such a joker. Even though weve never met, Im sure I could recognize you in an instant if you stood in front of me. How about we try aedy for the next script? I can handle anything.] Daisy Zane: . [There wont be a next script, I wont let an idiot film my script.] After sending this message, Daisy Zane went to get her makeup done and didnt pay any more attention to him. Today, Daisy Zane had two scenes, one each with the male and female leads. The scene with the male lead was in the evening, while the one with the female lead was close to noon. She yed the female leads older sister, three years older than her, and the two had relied on each other since they were little. The scene at noon today was a shback in which the two sisters were in their teens. The older sister took the younger sister to work and on their way back home, they encountered chaos in the streets. Both girls were beautiful and, when discovered by the enemy, they were chased. In order to protect her sister, the older sister hid the younger one and drew the enemies away herself. But the younger sister clung to her older sisters clothes, crying and begging her to hide together. In a critical moment, the older sister pped the younger one. The p brought the younger sister back to her senses, then the older one hugged her, hid her and led the enemies away. After that, the two sisters wouldnt see each other again for six years. Daisy Zane had incredibly smooth and white skin. Her face was so white, it was almost glowing. But because her character was in her mid-teens and scavenging to make a living, her makeup was made to look more yellowish and slightly haggard. She wore her hair in two braids and dressed in simple clothes. She really looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen, and still very beautiful. Due to her agent, Olivia Chester, Lilian Lopez had been making life difficult for Daisy Zane, openly and secretly. But today, for this scene where she was supposed to be pped by Daisy Zane, Lilian was very submissive, cooperative, and didnt create any trouble. They nailed the pping scene in one take. Daisy Zanes expression of reluctance and urgency was very well conveyed, and the director kept praising it. The following shoot went smoothly as well. While running down the streets with Lilian Lopez, Daisy Zane had to shoot several takes. By the time they finished shooting, Lilian Lopez keptining about being tired. Several assistants gathered around her, some offering water, some wiping her sweat, and some fanning her. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane seemed as rxed as if she had just taken a leisurely stroll. After a few more close-ups, the scene was finished. Daisy went to remove her makeup, waiting for the scene to be shot in the evening. She had lunch in the nanny car and then spent the entire time typing on herputer. Michael Jackson nced at Daisysputer from the front seat. It was an all-ck notebook with no logo, and the brand was indistinguishable. It looked a bit thick and seemed to have been around for years. Michael silently scoffed at Third Master in his heart. With so manyputers at home, he didnt know why Third Master hadnt reced Daisys. He decided to subtly remind Third Master the next time they met. s, he had sacrificed so much for Third Masters love life. Daisy had been typing all afternoon without a break. Hill Dawson slept in the nanny car to the sound of typing and woke up to find her still at it. Curious, Hill moved closer to take a look. But just as she did, Daisy noticed her movement out of the corner of her eye and quickly switched to a game screen. Her hands were fast, and so was theputers response time. By the time Hill looked, the script-writing screen had already been reced by another document. Daisy continued typing without skipping a beat. Hill nced twice and realized it was the script she was currently shooting. She eximed, Are you memorizing the script?! Yeah, Im a bit bored. Whose lines are these? This this character doesnt have any scenes with you. Why are you memorizing their lines? Daisy didnt pause in her typing: I didnt mean to memorize them. I just happened to remember them while reading the script. Hill looked at Daisy with a mix of bewilderment and awe. Is your memory really that good? Its passable. Michael twitched at the corner of his mouth when he heard this conversation. Unassuaged by Daisys modesty, Hill returned to her seat, tilting her head and closing her eyes again. After a while, she said, You should take a break too. You still have scenes to shoot tonight. Okay. Daisy switched back to the previous screen. She suddenly had a burst of inspiration after finishing the scene at noon, so she wrote an outline for a script. Looking at the one-and-a-half line spacing in the document, Daisy resisted the urge to change it countless times. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed off. Finally, she couldnt help but change it to eighteen-point font. She suddenly thought that perhaps Robinson Scott was right C the professor might be getting old, and the smaller line spacing made it difficult for him to read the report without getting the lines mixed up. At dinner time, Kevin rk sent Daisy a few photos. While eating, Daisy opened those pictures. They were all lotus flowers. There were close-up shots of single lotuses with water droplets on them, as well as vast lotus ponds, lotus leaves, and lotus pods, stretching out endlessly in the misty rain. The pictures were both beautiful and breathtaking. Soon, Kevin sent another message: [It rained in Imperial Capital today.] Daisyplimented the lotus flowers: [Very beautiful.] Kevin: [When the drama crew has some free time, Ill take you to see them.] Daisy read his message, then looked at the photo of the vast lotus pond. She focused on the character Leaf on thenterns hanging by the pond. After hesitating for a while, she finally didnt refuse and replied: [Okay..] Chapter 36 - 36: Investigating an Individual Chapter 36: Investigating an Individual Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Imperial Capital Kevin rk stood with his hands behind his back under the corridor, looking at the lotus flower in the night. As the rain fell, it dripped on the lotus flower, causing it to sway gently. In a moment, Kevin raised the corner of his mouth, his vermilion thin lips appearing exceptionally enchanting in the night. Why so happy? A very pleasant voice sounded from behind him. Kevin turned around and said warmly, Mom, why did youe out on your own? The woman in front of him was dressed in an apricot cheongsam with a shawl draped over her shoulders and her hair pulled up. Her skin was very white, and she looked to be only in her early fifties, resembling Kevins appearance with a 70% likeness. However, Kevins eyes were deep, double-lidded, always giving people a strong and seductive feeling. This womans eyes were somewhat like phoenix eyes, with delicate brows and eyes, full of charm and beauty in every frown and smile. But her every gesture also had a gentle and elegant demeanor. Tom Wayne adjusted her shawl and stood beside him, also looking at the lotus pond. Your father is talking business with your elder brother. I slipped out without him noticing. Her voice was extremely beautiful, with a unique Beijing ent and a pleasant tone. Kevin smiled and said, The corridor is slippery on rainy days. In the future, let Auntie apany you when youe out. You guys are too much. Im not that old. Im only sixty-nine. Do you think I would fall? Tom Wayne said arrogantly. No, Im afraid youll feel bored by yourself. How could I be bored? Your father has been practically glued to my side. Its not easy for me to catch a break. Kevin raised his eyebrows, sensing that this might be bait she was throwing out for him to catch, but he didnt dare to respond. As expected, Tom Wayne nced at him when he didnt say anything and then got directly to the point, Kevin, youre already twenty-eight this year, and your father is eighty. When do you n to let him hold his grandchild? Mom, I wasnt even born when my father held his grandchild, Kevin said warmly. You guys should be pushing Enamel Cannon more. Hes thirty now and at the right age to get married. Your great-grandchildren would be several years old by now. As soon as I bring it up, you mention Enamel. Your big brother and sister-inw are already taking care of his affairs. Tom Wayne paused and continued, I yed cards at the Lane Familys house a few days ago, and I saw their youngest daughter. Shes incredibly beautiful. Mom, how old is she? I asked, shes eighteen. Shes an adult, and shes in Senior Three. Theres just a ten-year age difference between you two. Theres an eleven-year age difference between your father and me, and were still doing fine. Tom Wayne smiled and said, Moreover, the Lane Family is a proper match for our family. Looking around, who else canpare to our family? Kevin couldnt help butugh. Mom, our two families can be considered old acquaintances. Counting from our ancestors, that girl would have to call me Third Uncle. Im her elder, and I cant disrespect that. I cant ignore seniority. You, you, you just dont want to call William Lane your elder cousin. I see right through you. Hmph, Tom Wayne turned her head to the side, not looking at him any longer. Kevin moved a step closer to her and put his arm around her shoulder, whispering, Mom, dont be angry. I have ns, dont worry. I wont be alone for life. Then you might as well show me your n. Hmm Ill try to find a girlfriend before Im thirty. Kevin thought to himself that he didnt know if Lady Zane would give him a chance before he turned thirty. She had only agreed toe to the house to see the lotus flowers Really? Really, Kevin said. Tom Wayne took a deep breath and touched Kevins face. Son, Im not forcing you. I just hope someone will settle you down and keep you from running around all the time. All these years, you havent taken care of anything at home, even refusing your share in the family business. Youre often not at home, and we dont know what youre up to. Mom, I havent done anything illegal. I know what kind of person my son is, Tom Waynes voice softened. Im just afraid youll do something dangerous. After your second brothers sacrifice, Ive wanted to keep you by my side. I dont expect you to achieve great things or possess great abilities; I just hope youll be safe. Kevins hand hanging by his side clenched slightly. Son, your father and I are getting old. We cant handle any more incidents, Tom Wayne said quietly, gripping Kevins hand. Kevin held onto his mothers hand, Mom, dont worry. Ill be fine. Daisy Zanes night scene was originally scheduled for 9 0clock, but it didnt start until the early hours of the morning around 1 am. When George Dunn arrived, his face was full of annoyance. At a distance, Daisy Zane heard him say, Tell your superstar at home that if she can act, she should act, and if she cant, she should get lost. I dont have time to wait on her. Although he didnt shout at anyone, his words were full of helplessness and powerlessness. Soon after, Hill Dawson, who had gone to ask the director when they would start shooting, came back and whispered to Daisy Zane, Except for the scene with you today, Best Actor Dunn has scenes only with Lilian Lopez. In the afternoon, it went well, but after dark, Lilian kept saying she was not in a good state. There were several retakes for the same scene. Later, she cried and tried to get sympathy from George Dunn and the director. There were two more scenes, but Dunn said he wouldnt shoot them directly. Daisy Zane looked at George Dunn, who was standing with his hands on his hips, angrily facing the grass. Hill Dawson continued: Just now, Lilian Lopezs assistant came over to apologize. Dunns temper is quite good, he didnt even scold anyone. He also considered us, saying that since weve been waiting all night, well shoot our scene first. Seeing that the directors preparations were almost done, Daisy Zane took off her coat. She wore a long skirt underneath. Tonights scene was about exchanging crucial information with the male lead in the opposing camp, and then Daisy Zane would take the information out. George Dunn didnt let his emotions affect the scene and demonstrated professional acting with a one-second dedication. Although this was their first time acting together, Daisy Zane had already grasped his acting habits a few years ago. After all, although she had never been on-site, all the shots and clips from the set went through her hands. Only when she said it was passable would the scene be considered sessfully shot. Otherwise, they would have to reshoot. To the point where they had argued over opinions through the cell phone. So their cooperation was quite good. George Dunn intentionally gave the neer a chance, and Daisy Zane also cooperated with him subconsciously. When it was over, and Daisy Zane was about to leave, George Dunn even chased after her topliment her, Great acting, very talented. As Daisy Zane put on her coat, she said, Thank you for thepliment, Best Actor Dunn. Listening to her cold voice, George Dunn felt very refreshed, Go back and rest early. Mhm. Daisy Zane replied, seeing him still looking at her, she paused and said, You should also rest early, Best Actor. See you tomorrow. Daisy Zane nodded and went straight away. Seeing her go first, Hill Dawson stayed and exchanged a few words with George Dunn before leaving. Josh had been following George Dunn, and when he saw them walk away, he said, Brother, her voice really sounds like Brook Gods. I feel like Im talking to Brook God himself. George Dunn exhaled lightly, fixing his hair that had been set with hair gel, Listening to her made me feel better. As soon as Daisy Zane got into the nanny car, she felt the cold from Michael Jacksons body, obviously, he had gone out and just returned not long ago. She didnt ask but closed her eyes when she sat in the seat. Daisy Zane and Hill Dawson stayed in a suite at the hotel. When they returned to the hotel and finished washing up, Hill Dawson saw that Daisy Zanes face was not looking well and asked, Whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Its nothing, my period just started. Daisy Zane walked around the room, Wheres that smaller piece of luggage? Hill Dawson knew it contained medicine and quickly found it and opened it. Daisy Zane squatted beside the opened luggage, searching through it and found a box of painkillers. When she opened the box, a note fell out. She unfolded it, and the handwritten thin gold lettering inside. If your stomach hurts, take half a pill, and then take another half after twelve hours. It should be very effective, take it with ease, there are no side effects. The heat pads under the small medicine box are attached to the abdomen, which contain herbal medicine prepared by my mother and are very effective. Also, the medicine packet under the heat pads can be used when soaking your feet to help ease the pain. Normally, avoid cold drinks and touching cold things. With proper care, the pain will go away over time. Hill Dawson also leaned over to see, Written by Third Master rk? Daisy Zane folded the note properly and put it back in the medicine box, picked a pill, and broke it in half, Yes. Third Master is so thoughtful. Hill Dawson took out the heat pads and the medicine packet, He even remembered that you get stomach aches and prepared medicine for you. Daisy Zane put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it directly. She remembered thest time she had a fever when Harton rk took her pulse He not only diagnosed her illness but also checked her body while doing so.. Chapter 37 - 37: Ruining Her Face Chapter 37: Ruining Her Face Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Arthur North and Lilian Lopez had very few scenes together. Other than one scene on the first day of filming, they didnt have any shared scenes after a week passed. asionally, when they ran into each other on the film set, Lilian would roll her eyes from afar, but Arthur wouldpletely ignore her. Lilian was very popr, and the actors in the drama crew, sensing her dislike for Arthur, followed suit by isting him. Fortunately, Arthur enjoyed solitude; their istion actually made his time on set more enjoyable, as it saved him from having to interact with others. Today, Arthur had several fight scenes, and all were with the martial arts instructor and extras. It had a sense of a one-man-against-all fight to break through enemy lines. While Lilian and George Dunn were filming, Arthur practiced routines with the martial arts instructor. Is it because you have a dance background, or have you studied martial arts before? Your routines are quite impressive, the martial arts instructor praised. Arthur only responded with a grunt and didnt say much. The martial arts instructor was a burly man, with biceps that would bulge under his clothes with even slight movement. After practicing for a while, the instructor suddenly grasped Arthurs hand and stepped forward, standing behind him. The other hand was ced on Arthurs waist. Use force in your hand upward, he said while forcing downward on Arthurs waist, and use strength here. Arthur lowered his eyes and looked at the instructors hand on his waist. In the next second, he grabbed the instructors wrist, spun around, and twisted it fiercely. The martial arts instructor groaned and instinctively tried to break free, but he couldnt: Let go! Arthur stared at him, his eyes cold: If this hand touches me again, Ill disable it. Let go of me! Did you hear me? Arthur applied more force. In fact, as soon as the man reached out, Arthur instinctively wanted to take action but stopped himself from hurting others. It was only then that the instructor had the opportunity to touch him. Arthur never took the fight scenes seriously, as they were too simple for him. The only thing he worried about was that he might instinctively hurt his opponents, so he practiced routines on set. I heard you, I heard you. The martial arts instructor was sweating profusely. Arthur let go of him and removed his coat, nning to go back to the nanny car and change. The martial arts instructor held his wrist. After regaining some sense, he started cursing: Damn woman, acting so virtuous. No one should even touch people who look like you. Youre still nothing but an object for someones bed sooner orter At the time he was cursing, Lilian came over. Instructor Morgan, Lilian approached slowly, wearing a cheongsam and a charming smile on her face, What happened? Are you hurt? Instructor Morgan stood up straight, rubbing his wrist: Its nothing. In our line of work, bumps and bruises are inevitable. Miss Lopez, what brings you here? I finished my scenes for today and was about to leave, Lilian took a few more steps forward, I came over after hearing your voice and suddenly remembered something. I need Instructor Morgans help. Instructor Morgan had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had seen it all. He knew that Lilian had heard him cursing Arthur and hade to ask him for help, which must be rted to Arthur. After a moments silence, he smiled and said, Im just a coarse man. What could I possibly help a superstar like you with? Lilianughed: Indeed, I do need your help, Instructor Morgan. These martial arts routines the artists arent professionals; its only natural for some idents and injuries to ur if they forget a move or make the wrong action. Instructor Morgan didnt say anything but looked at her. From her bag, Lilian took out a card: Heres 1.5 million; please ept it, Instructor Morgan. Instructor Morgan looked around. Dont worry, my assistants are outside, guarding the area. No one will find out about our conversation, Lilian said, I want her face ruined, so she can never stay in this industry again. This Instructor Morgan hesitated. Its one thing to get a minor injury, but if her face is injured, her entire life could be ruined. Dont worry, shes just a country girl from the countryside, without any background. Do you know the Truro Song Family? Lilian Lopez said, If you can get her out of the entertainment industry, the Truro Family will protect you. Before Lilian Lopez joined the crew, Olivia Chester repeatedly reminded her to drive Daisy Zane away from the team. Instructor Morgan was silent for a while, looking at the card: How can I trust you? Lilian Lopez sighed and took out another card from her bag: There is 1 million more in this one. Instructor Morgan smiled, took the card, and said: Alright. Daisy Zane returned to the nanny car to change her coat and went to the set, where the shooting had already started. She thought the martial arts instructor earlier would make things difficult for her, but the man just gave her a cold nce and left. The first scene, Daisy Zane snipes from a window on the upper floor. She wore a ck trench coat, carrying a case, quickly went upstairs, then assembled the sniper rifle, set it up, and sniped. The sniper rifle was very realistic, with the features of a real firearm like ejecting shells, firing, vibration, and recoil, except it was not lethal. The prop teacher taught Daisy Zane on the scene, but the teaching was very rough, at a fast pace, and incorrect. Daisy Zane listened quietly, suspecting that the teacher had been secretly coerced by someone behind the scenes. The directors side was all ready and about to start shooting when suddenly an assistant ran over and said something to him, and he quickly ran out. In no time, he brought two people back with him. It was Allonzo Hobson and Kevin rk. Howe Young Master Hobson has time toe over here. The director was very respectful on the side. Ah, my mother took a movie, shes in the crew next door. My friend and I came over to visit. Allonzo Hobson said. The Hobson Entertainment is the pinnacle of the entertainment industry pyramid. Moreover, Allonzo Hobson had a good rtionship with Third Master from the rk Family, climbing their connections, and anyone would give him respect. The director nced at Kevin rk, seeing his luxurious appearance and how Allonzo Hobson was respectful to him, he didnt dare to ask who he was: You are wee to visit anytime. Whose scene is it today? Allonzo Hobson asked knowingly. Its a neer named Daisy Zane, she has excellent acting skills. Young Master Hobson, you can take a look. Allonzo Hobson looked at Kevin rk and smiled: I have to see that, neers are all potential stocks. Kevin rk also nced at him, trying to slow down his steps, making himself look less anxious. When they reached the equipment, the director found seats for both of them and let them sit down. George Dunn and Lilian Lopez did not leave today. When new people arrived, they both looked over. Lilian Lopezs eyes lit up when she saw Allonzo Hobson, while George Dunn frowned. On Daisy Zanes side, the prop teacher hastily taught her and said: Are you ready? Im leaving if you are, you guys shoot. Without waiting for Daisy Zanes response, he left. Even the videographer couldnt stand it and asked: Can you do it? If not, Ill call him back. Daisy Zane skillfully disassembled the assembled gun and put it back in the box: Lets shoot. The videographer brother: Alright.. Chapter 38 - 38: Don’t Drink Water from Strangers Chapter 38: Dont Drink Water from Strangers Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Daisy Zane carried a box containing a sniper rifle and quickly came out of an alley, then ran up a building. She ran up and down the stairs four or five times. Kevin rk watched her cold, stern face which had a hint of fierceness from behind the equipment. For a moment, he couldnt tell if she was acting or if she was really like that. After the scene where she ran up the stairs was shot, her next task was to assemble the sniper rifle on the upper floor. As the director called Action! , Daisy Zane quickly opened the box and assembled the sniper rifle. She carried out the task systematically, quickly, and ced it in the right position with utmost professionalism. She was countless times more professional than the Prop Master. She looked both cool and dashing. Allonzo Hobson and Kevin rk watched her closely from behind the equipment. The two exchanged nces. Kevin rk clearly saw a small action when she was loading the bullet. Her right thumb touched the inside of her ring finger. Kevin rk remembered that she had a mole on the inside of her ring finger. It didnt seem like an action for the character, but more like a habitual action. But she usually didnt have this habit. It is like some people have certain quirky habits in certain scenarios. Kevin rk frowned. Cut. At the directors shout, Kevin rk came back to his senses. Lucia, that our guns have recoil. How did you eliminate the recoil? The shots taken just now were very good, very handsome. Lets reshoot these shots to show the power of the recoil. Daisy Zane nodded in response. The gun, although authentic looking, was only a prop, the recoil was much less than a real guns. Kevin rk chuckled to himself. Meanwhile, Lilian Lopez red at the Prop Master, who wore a wronged expression. He didnt teach her, but she knew how to do it herself. After shooting the sniper scene, the director asked Daisy Zane toe and see the shots she had filmed. As Daisy Zane walked over, she was stopped by George Dunn. Riley Maxwell, want some water? George Dunn called out her characters name and handed her a bottle of mineral water, Its unopened. Daisy Zane took it, twisted the cap open and took a sip: Thanks. You were very cool just now. George said. Daisy Zane nodded: I know. George Dunn paused a moment, then started tough. Daisy Zane looked at him and thought that he didnt look like a fool when heughed: I have to go, the director is calling me. Alright, go ahead. Daisy Zane then passed by Lilian Lopez. This time, she didnt ignore her; instead, she nced at her. That cold and fierce nce made Lilian Lopez step back suddenly, unable to say a word. Daisy Zane didnt say anything and directly went to find the director. She was holding the bottle of water shed taken earlier. As she reached the director, she saw Kevin rk, especially when her eyes met his, Kevin rks eyes suddenly widened a bit. Because the look in Kevin rks eyes was somewhat threatening. The two held each others gaze for a few seconds, then Kevin rks gaze moved downward, looking at the half-empty bottle of water in her hand. Lucia. The director called her, Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Hobson, and this is Young Master Hobsons friend. Daisy Zane just noticed that Allonzo Hobson was also there. The sight of such a tall man went unnoticed by her, leaving her feeling a bit embarrassed. She cleared her throat, Young Master Hobson. Then she nodded at Kevin rk. Allonzo Hobson shed a cryptic grin. Come, Lucia, take a look at these shots, directed the director. Daisy Zane observed them alongside the director, feeling rather pleased with herself. Thereafter, the director asked her to take a short break until the prop team had finished setting up the scene for the next shoot. Ahthese two gentlemen are important guests, Lucia. Could you please entertain them? As he spoke, the director subtly hinted at her with a knowing look. He was hoping she would strike up some connection with Allonzo Daisy Zane nodded and walked over to them. When did you arrive? Daisy asked, unscrewing a bottle, intending to quench her thirst. Just as the bottle touched her lips, she caught Kevins gaze, paused, then set the cap back onto the bottle. Allonzo Hobson couldnt hold back augh. We arrived just as you began your scene. Oh. Daisy responded before turning to gaze at Kevin. Her expression was nonchnt, her gaze somewhat cold and distant,ced with a hint of curiosity. A few secondster, Kevin sighed internally, softening his tone and expression, Wheres your agent? Allonzo Hobson immediately turned around to stifle a chuckle. She had to go home, her daughter is sick, Daisy looked down at the bottle before adding, I left my thermos in the car, didnt bring it down. Kevins eyebrows twitched with amusement in the corner of his eyes, Consider hiring an assistant. Well see, I can manage for now, Daisy replied. Kevin took the water from her hand, Once the weather turns chilly, remember to drink more hot water. Mhm. Daisyplied. Dont drink water offered by strangers. Allonzo Hobson, back turned to the pair, chuckled so hard that his shoulders shook. Daisy also gave augh and coolly responded, Mhm. Kevin clenched his fingertips, restraining the urge to caress her face, thennded a kick on Allonzo Hobson, causing him to stumble. Mr. Hobson, Third Master. George Dunn called out to them. Kevin squinted, Allonzo Hobson grinned, Well, George, wheres your big-shot boss? Howe youve started working on someone elses script instead? Even big-shots need a break. I was bored, so I took on a script, George finished, then turned to Daisy, Riley, theyre preparing the next scene. You should get ready. George was acquainted with them since childhood and was a bit older than them too. His impression of this crew of young masters wasnt exactly favorable, and the reputations of Kevin and Allonzo Hobson werent either. So, he steered Daisy away from them. Daisy nced at the three of them, then at Kevin once more before turning to leave. Now, only the three men remained, George and Allonzo Hobson were engaged in a casual chatter, while Kevin paid no attention to them, disying clear hostility toward George. Once the scene and props were ready, a make-up artist touched up Daisys make-upno wardrobe change was necessary. Filming resumed. Initially, she was working with extras, and everything went smoothlyseveral shots were retaken. The director continuouslyplimented Daisys action scenes in front of Hobson and friends. Soon after, she began rehearsing with the Martial Arts Instructor. At first, everything was going well; all of their movements were captured in a single shot. Impressed, Daisy felt that the Instructor was truly professional, given that he didnt cause any troubles for her. However, just when they were nearing the end, the Martial Arts Instructor, holding a dagger in his hand, changed course and targeted her face. Though the dagger was blunt, the kind of force he was using would definitely scar her pretty face upon contact. The director, watching from his equipment, didnt catch anything amiss. However, the three of them noticed it. Allonzo Hobson cursed, Damn. Kevin stood and started walking toward them. But Daisy was quick to react to the instructors intentions. She dodged, entirely on her waist strength, while gripping the wrist of his dagger-holding hand, twisting it with force. Chapter 39 - 39: Sister Xi, Kind of Handsome Chapter 39: Sister Xi, Kind of Handsome Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The dagger swiped past Daisy Zanes face, and she clearly felt a chill on her skin. Daisy cast her eyes down, watching the dagger leaving. She steadied herself and then grabbed hold of his wrist, twisting it in the opposite direction, bending his arm behind him and forcing him to bend over. The martial arts instructor didnt expect her to react so quickly. Not only had she reacted, she struck back at him. He tried to resist, but Daisy Zanes strength was overwhelming, leaving him no room to retaliate. Seeing her unharmed, Kevin rk stopped just before entering the shooting area and watched from afar. Allonzo Hobson and George Dunn also breathed a sigh of relief. Daisy felt he wanted to break free and deliberately loosened her grip. An instantter, the martial arts instructor turned, swinging his other hand. Daisy, taking advantage of his move, held the wrist and dislocated it with a light pull. The martial arts instructors face turned pale in pain, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead, while he let out a sigh. At that instant, he could only think of one thing: If this hand touches me again, Ill disable it. But there are cameras and so many people around. She wouldnt dare. Yet, just as the thought crossed his mind, his wrist was reattached, and the pain vanished. Daisys speed in pulling and pushing was so fast that no one noticed. Neither Allonzo Hobson nor George Dunn at the machine end noticed. Even the director was so absorbed that he thought the fight was rather impressive. Only Kevin rk saw Daisys hand from afar and lifted the corner of his mouth slightly. The shooting site was set up with some cloth sacks filled with soft cotton. Daisy raised her leg and kicked the martial arts instructor onto the sacks, knocking him down and burying him in cotton. Cut. Great! This take is perfect! After the director stopped, Daisy didnt even nce at the martial arts instructor, walking away. It took a while for the martial arts instructor to be helped up, and then he caught a distant nce of Lilian Lopez. When Daisy left the shooting site, she saw Kevin standing next to her and raised her eyebrows at him. Kevins gazended on her nearly cut cheek, only rxing when he saw that it waspletely unharmed. Daisy, you looked pretty cool, Kevin smiled and said. Daisy was quite receptive to the nickname Daisy, visibly changing her mood. Only a bit cool? Kevinughed a bit. Very cool. Daisy alsoughed, Im going to find the director. Yeah, go ahead. Daisy went to the director, and Kevin walked up to Allonzo Hobson and whispered, Check out the martial arts actor. Got it. Its already been arranged. Allonzo Hobson waved his cell phone, showing a recently sent message. Kevin didnt say anything more, shifting his gaze to George Dunn standing next to Daisy, his expression cooling once more. After a while, the director and screenwriter came with Daisy,ughing, Young Master Hobson, its been a long time since youve been here. How about us having dinner together this evening? Sure. You guys make the arrangements. We have some things to deal withter. When were finished, well head over. Allonzo Hobson looked at Kevin and said, Leave a contact number, and tell us where you reserved. As he spoke, he stretched out his phone to Daisy with a wink andughter, Can I have the beautys? The director immediately understood, Sure, Daisys. Once the reservation is made, Ill inform Young Master Hobson, George Dunn suddenly said, I have his contact information. I dont want it, Allonzo Hobson revealed a row of neat teeth, rejecting him. I want Lady Zane to tell me, or else Im not going. George licked his back teeth. Daisy looked at his cell phone, knowing he wanted her contact information, I didnt bring my phone. Its fine, Allonzo Hobson handed the phone closer, Just save your mobile number, and I will call youter. Daisy took the phone and saved her number. Allonzo Hobson looked at the Daisy Zane on his cell phone screen, quite smug and casually shing it before Kevins face, as if to say, Even if you dont give me, I can still get it. Lady Zane, wait for my call. Daisy Zane nodded her head. When Daisy Zane returned to the nanny car, she didnt see Michael Jackson, but instead saw Thomas Firway. As soon as Thomas Firway saw her, his face became long and his tone wasnt friendly: Michael has something to attend to, Ill take you back. Daisy Zane knew that Michael Jackson was scouting in Red Cliff Vige this week and probably went to report to Arthur North. She ignored Firway, got in the car, sat down, and started looking at her cell phone. A message from Allonzo Hobson five minutes ago: Lady Zane, its Allonzo Hobson. I apologize for being rude earlier. The serious tone seemed like a different personpared to his earlier casual demeanor. Firway drove in the front, ncing at Daisy Zane every few minutes. Daisy noticed, but ignored it, ignoring the dissatisfaction and resentment filling the nanny car. Halfway through the journey, as if Firway could no longer hold back, he said, Lady Zane, right? Daisy Zane looked up at him. Have you heard of the Imperial City rk Family? Firway asked. Yeah. Daisy Zane closed her phone, leaned back in her seat, and looked at him through the rearview mirror. Then you should know how noble and distinguished our Third Master is. Not everyone can reach his level. Firway said coldly, with a hint of pride. Really? Im not so sure. Daisy Zane looked at him and said, All I heard is that your familys Third Master has a bad reputation, idle and extravagant, promiscuous by nature, and very maniptive. You! Youre talking nonsense! Seeing the frustrated look on Firways face, Daisy Zane felt great: Thats not all, I also heard that after inheriting the rk family, his nephew didnt give Third Uncle a single cent of his shares. Firway could only stare at Daisy Zane angrily with nothing to say, looking at the road in front of him and Daisy Zane from time to time. Seeing him like this, Daisy Zane continued, So, your familys Third Master actually has no real power in the rk family. Firway mmed on the car horn angrily. BEEP- A loud beep startled a nearby car with a learnersbel, causing them to apply the brakes. Daisy Zaneughed at Firways reaction and closed her eyes, ignoring him. Firway could only stare at her angrily, his face getting red. Daisy Zane returned to the hotel, changed her clothes, washed her face, and then wrote for a while on her script. At around seven oclock, the director sent the location for dinner and asked her to inform Hobson. Daisy Zane forwarded the location information directly to Arthur North. Arthur North replied quickly: [In twenty minutes, let Thomas Firway take you there.] Seventeen minutester, Daisy Zane went downstairs. She bumped into a drama crew actor at the hotel entrance. They didnt have any interaction or shared scenes, they only met briefly on the first day of filming. She heard Hill Dawson mention that the actor had been Lilian Lopezs body double before, her name wasSerena Buster. Hill Dawson loved gossip and would tell Daisy all kinds of things. Some Daisy never cared to remember. But Serena Buster was very beautiful. She was more beautiful than Lilian Lopez, which left quite an impression on Daisy. Daisy Zane. Serena Buster suddenly called out to her. Daisy Zane stopped and looked at her. Standing two steps away from Daisy, Serena Buster seemed to be hesitating, a bit scared of Daisy Zane. In the end, she stammered, Nevermind. Then she quickly entered the hotel. Daisy Zane looked at her retreating figure inside the hotel and just at that moment, Thomas Firway honked the horn, urging her to hurry up. She took her eyes off Serena and deliberately slowed down her pace, even standing by the car for a while before getting in. Chapter 40 - 40: Rumors Cannot Be Trusted Chapter 40: Rumors Cannot Be Trusted Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios At the dinner venue, Harton rk, Michael Jackson, and Allonzo Hobson were waiting for her at the entrance. As soon as she got out of the car, it was hard to ignore Thomas Firways face and the hostility emanating from him. Wow, whats the matter with Thomas? Who pissed off our dear Thomas? Allonzo Hobsonughed. Thomas Firway stood beside Harton rk and nced at Michael Jackson without saying a word. Daisy Zane looked at him, slowly walked up to Harton rk, and said, I talked bad about you, and it made him angry. What bad things did you say about me? Harton rk asked with a smile. Lazy, flirtatious, indulgent, and exist only in name, Daisy Zane said casually. You Thomas Firway was so angry he almost smoked, but he was held back by Michael Jackson as soon as he tried to speak. He looked back at Michael, and upon seeing his serious expression, Thomas Firway immediately wilted. Lady Zane, how could you summarize so urately? These words are exactly thebels for our Third Master, Allonzo Hobson said beside them. Harton rk gave Allonzo Hobson a dagger-like re, and Allonzo Hobson immediately made a gesture to shut his mouth. Daisy, dont believe rumors, Harton rk said warmly, looking at her. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at him with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze. Seeing her obviously somewhat incredulous expression, Harton rk sighed helplessly and said, Lets go eat. Daisy Zaneughed and followed him inside. Allonzo Hobson caught up and asked, Lady Zane, we agreed that you would send me a message. Why did you send it to Harton and ignore me? Daisy Zane listened to his aggrieved tone and paused for a moment before saying, I did it out of habit. Next time dont do it out of habit, send it to me. Harton rk grabbed the back of his cor and pulled him back a little, Stay away. Allonzo Hobson: As they arrived at the private booth, the director, screenwriter, and George Dunn had already arrived. The three stood up, and the directorughed, Young Master Hobson, Daisy came with you? No, we met her at the entrance and came up together, Allonzo Hobson exined. The directorughed and said, Sit down; Ill have them serve the dishes. The three sat down, and the director and screenwriter intended to seat Daisy Zane and Allonzo Hobson together, so they ced George Dunn on their side. However, after Allonzo Hobson sat down next to the director, Harton rk stood behind the seat next to him, pulled the chair out for Daisy Zane to sit first, and then sat down himself. At a round table, George Dunn sat diagonally across from Daisy Zane. Seeing Harton rks move, he squinted his eyes. The director and screenwriter also secretly exchanged nces but chose not to ask about Harton rks identity, believing themselves unworthy of knowing. Young Master Hobson, I just ordered a few dishes. Take a look and see if you need anything else, the director handed over the menu. Allonzo Hobson passed it directly to Harton rk. Is there anything youd like to eat? Harton rk asked Daisy Zane. You choose. Harton rk ordered a fish dish and two shrimp dishes, which Daisy Zane usually ate more often. The restaurant served a few dishes first, and the waiter brought the wine, pouring a ss for everyone. The director and screenwriter nced at Best Actor Dunn, then at Young Master Hobson, and then at Harton rk. It seemed they couldnt afford to mess with any of them, so the two finally stood up and said, Wed like to drink a toast to all of you first. Allonzo Hobson asked the two to sit down, Thats enough, no need to be so formal; were just having dinner. Director Nash, we havent worked together before, but weve met a few times, so were acquaintances. Best Actor Dunn and I are old acquaintances. We fought often as kids. I dont know what bad luck Ive had to encounter him on the drama crew. You make it sound like I want to see you. George Dunn took a sip of wine. Then he saw Harton rk take a small ck hair tie out of his pocket and give it to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane took a sip of wine and then naturally took the hair tie from him and tied up her hair. The interaction between them was very natural, it was obvious that they did not just meet today. But they didnt seem like normal friends, nor like a couple. The way Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane was anything but innocent. He had desire, but he was suppressing it. Moreover, he was very gentlemanly, as if Daisy was an invaluable treasure. He was cautious and reluctant to touch her, carefully protecting her. George Dunn was somewhat curious, wondering how someone as high-ranking as Kevin rk, who had been pampered since childhood, could care about someone to this extent. Just as he was thinking about this, Kevin rks gaze suddenly shifted toward him. The intense hostility in Kevin rks eyes seemed to transform into a sharp sword, piercing George Dunns heart. George took a breath and looked away; this was a man he could not afford to mess with. He came here today, because the director had invited him, but he really did want to help Daisy a little. He didnt have any other feelings for Daisy; it was just that her voice was simr to Catherines, which gave him a protective instinct, not wanting her to be hurt in any way. But if Allonzo Hobson has really set his sights on her, he has no control over it. However, it seems they are quite familiar with each other already. Its possible that the two of them sat here specifically for Daisy. However the director and the screenwriter didnt seem to realize this yet. Come on, Lucia, lets toast to Young Master Hobson, the director said as he raised his wine ss. Kevin rk immediately turned his head and looked at Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson suddenly stood up with his wine ss: No, no, no, no Ill toast to Lady Zane. Please take care of me more in the future. Both the director and the screenwriter were stunned for a moment. Only then did they realize something was going on, and hurriedly stood up. Daisy also stood up, clinked sses with Allonzo Hobson across Kevin rk, didnt say anything, and directly emptied her wine ss with a tip of her head. Allonzo Hobson was taken aback and nced at Kevin rk, who looked indifferent, before drinking his wine as well. When the dishes were served, Kevin rk was in charge of picking up food for Daisy, who focused on eating. The remaining four people chatted without bothering Daisy again. Halfway through the meal, Allonzo Hobson picked up a phone call. He didnt say anything but just listened to the other persons words, didnt respond, and hung up. Then, he nced at Kevin rk and turned around to toast with the director and screenwriter, asking, Is the lead actress in your show called Lilian Lopez? Once he mentioned this, Kevin rk knew what the phone call was all about. The martial arts instructor had exposed the person behind the scenes. Yes, does Young Master Hobson know her? the director asked. Allonzo Hobson didnt answer him and asked, How is her acting? Is it okay? Its quite good, the director said, then silentlyined in his heart: her acting is good when shes in a good mood. However, once she has more scenes, she throws tantrums,ints about being tired, and acts high and mighty. Its too much to handle. Allonzo Hobson asked, Its been just over a week since your filming started, right? Yes, the director answered. Change the actress. I willpensate for all the losses, Allonzo Hobson said, then looked at George Dunn, A week dy shouldnt be a problem for Best Actor Dunn, right? I heard that Catherine God hasnt released any new books recently, so the Best Actor shouldnt be in a hurry. George Dunn sensed something and looked back at him for a while before saying, Im fine with it. The director and the screenwriter became a little anxious, Young Master Hobson, can I ask whats going on? As you know, in our business, its taboo to change actors midway through, and And its not easy to exin to Lilian Lopezs fans. Not to mention Olivia Chester, but Lilian Lopezs fans were numerous, and if the news got out, it would be a big trouble. You know, I usually take a long time to choose actors for my films, so who should we rece her with? the director worried. He had been in the industry for many years, without any capital or connections behind him. He only relied on dedication, sincerity, and amitment to doing his best on every aspect of each of his projects, from selecting actors, to the set, props, costumes, and special effects. Thats why he had a good production team, but he was also the easiest target for bullying. So, he tried his best to please people like them and to smooth out any problems. Daisy ate the shrimp that Kevin rk had peeled for her and looked up at them for a moment, then continued eating. Director Nash, Im not discussing this with you. Im informing you, Allonzo Hobson still had a smile on his face, but it was colder than ice, You should know, if I dont allow, your drama crew cant start work.. Chapter 41 - 41: No Room for Development Chapter 41: No Room for Development Trantor: 549690339 When Allonzo Hobson spoke those words, the director and the screenwriter were dumbstruck. The meal was going so smoothly; how did things take such a sudden turn? The atmosphere felt like it had instantly frozen. The director had to admit that his mind had never worked as swiftly as it did now. He suddenly turned to Daisy Zane. A female lead and a supporting female, both equally crucial characters. The director was aware of the tense rtions between them and had also heard of Lilian Lopez ostracizing Daisy Zane with everyone else. But Daisy Zane gave her all while filming every day and kept to herself,pletely ignoring those who slighted her. He too, having been busy, overlooked all the backstage drama. Daisy Zane obviously knew Allonzo Hobson and the young aristocrat next to him. Pretending not to know them on the set was probably to avoid any gossip, which was why Allonzo Hobson didnt expose it either. Looking at it now, this meal seemed to be a ploy to take revenge for Daisy Zane. What are you looking at us for? Kevin rk noticed the directors gaze on Daisy Zane and looked back at him. His soft voice and piercing eyes literally shook the director, who hastily averted his gaze. Kevin rk ced the picked fish meat on Daisy Zanes side, refilled her wine, and said, Leave us out of your mess. In one sentence, he spared Daisy Zane from any me. Indeed, its my personal grudge. Allonzo Hobson continued to smile, Can you amodate me, Director Nash? Uh the director nced at the screenwriter, Young Master Hobson, you know thatit is difficult for me Give me an answer tomorrow morning, Director Nash, Allonzo Hobson stated, So I can decide whether or not the drama crew should start filming. There was no room for negotiation, the director and the screenwriter turned pale. They even wondered if they were jinxed. How was it that filming a drama could be so challenging? Earlier, they had happily secured a best actor, a female lead with a great online presence, and a supporting female matching the character, they believed their show would surely be a hit. However, they first offended the Giovanni Family, who had just been pacified when Allonzo Hobson was troubled. Each one was more unmanageable than thest. Ignoring everything else, where could they find a new female lead in one night? The two were so worried that they expected to sprout white hair on the spot. But Allonzo Hobson reverted to his previous enthusiasm, acting as if nothing happened. and encouraged them to eat. Apart from his passion for acting, George Dunn didnt want to get involved in their affairs. He took up the role out of boredom and wouldnt mind if it stopped. He wouldnt give it much thought. Therefore, only the director and the screenwriter had trouble digesting their food at the second half of the meal. Just as they were about to finish, Daisy Zane clinked her wine ss with Kevin rks and drank the wine without further nces. Kevin rk understood her gesture as gratitude, but he found it oddly cool. So cool that Kevin rk thought he wouldnt be able to break free from being single until he reached thirty. After the meal, Michael Jackson dropped Daisy Zane back to the hotel. On the way, Daisy Zane thought about the n to rece Lilian Lopez. Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson were obviously changing the cast because of her. However, with Lilians usual petty tricks, there was no need for such grand measures. She thought for a moment and asked, Assistant Jackson, did your Master catch the Martial Arts Instructor? Yes. He almost hurt you. Third Master wouldnt let him go, Although Michael Jackson wasnt on the scene, he had heard about the incident, That Martial Arts Instructor is quite a coward. With just a little intimidation, he confessed everything. The Female Lead Actress gave him 2.5 million USD to scar your face. And they nned to disguise it as an idental injury. Daisy Zanes expression darkened slightly, Where is he now? He was prosecuted for intentional injury, assistant Jackson exined. Daisy Zanes eyebrows twitched. Ever since she met Kevin rk, she felt like she had lost control in many situations. Tsch, Hearing her tsch, Michael Jacksonforted, Lady Zane is excellent, so its inevitable shell attract some jealousy. Daisy Zane leaned back in her seat, grabbing a piece of candy from her pocket to eat. Kevin rk had given it to her when they separated at the restaurant. Do you want one? she asked Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson shook his head with a smile, after a while he said, Lady Zane, Thomas Firway is young and sometimes thoughtless. I apologize on his behalf, hope you wont take it to heart. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow in question, He seems to listen to you a lot. Michael Jacksonughed, Weve known each other for many years. Youd better gofort him. I was the one who infuriated him. Hes one of Kevin rks people after all, and he hasnt done anything outrageous. Im not one to bear grudges, Daisy Zane naturally wouldnt fuss over it. Thank you, Lady Zane. Returning to the hotel, Daisy Zane just got out of the elevator when she heard a tirade from a distance. Many drama crews shooting in this area were living on this floor. Some, relying on their fame, felt superior and often scolded their assistants. Others had minor disputes among themselves and argued. Such people were fearless, even if their conduct was filmed and posted online, they knew how to whitewash themselves. After all, in this age of rampant digital information, people who were quick to gossips and rumors were numerous. Any random bit of gossip would be passed around instantly. Thus, many of the leaked news-pieces, true or false, were hard to discern. Daisy Zane didnt pay much mind, heading towards her room. Turning a corner, the voice grew clearer, hard to ignore. Moreover, it was Lilian Lopezs voice. She slowed her steps, listening as she walked. The door to Lilian Lopezs room was notpletely closed. She sat on the sofa, her face somewhat flushed. Looking at the person standing in front of her, she said, Serena Buster, you are merely my stand-in. If not for me, would you have had today, would you have been noticed? Would you have been able to enter this drama crew? I requested you kneel and remove my shoes. So what? Did that offend you? That was a sign of my respect. Lilian Lopez! Youre too much! Serena Buster said, her face full of humiliation. Im too much? When you see me, you dont even bother to greet me properly. You dont respect me at all. Whats this? After getting a minor role you think youre the king of the world and already stepping on me. Lilian Lopez had a rough day, had a bit to drink and meeting Serena Buster, she just let her anger spill out on her. Lilian Lopez, arent you afraid of retribution? Retribution? Lilian Lopez scoffed, Let me tell you, my position and career are only going to get better, while you, as long as youre in this industry, will always be beneath me. Lets put it this way, even if my words today are recorded by you, or by someone else and uploaded online. Lilian Lopez arrogantly stated, Even without thepanys intervention, my fans would suppress the heat and help clear my name. Sister Molly, youve had too much to drink, dont say anymore, the assistant persuaded from the side. Lilian Lopez red at her, Get lost! What right does an assistant like you have to manage me? So youre just using your fans like this? Serena Buster said, Anyway, without your fans contributing to your poprity, you wouldnt be getting such good roles. Whos to me tor them being tools? A little guidance, and they can be used easily. Ignoring Lilian Lopez, Serena Buster turned around to leave. Lilian Lopez threw a ss from the table at her feet. The shattered ss cut Serena Busters ankle, and blood started to well up immediately. Who told you to leave! Come here, kneel down and take off my shoes. Ill let yourck of greeting today slide. Lilian Lopez in a tone that suggested she was doing Serena Buster a favor, If you dare to leave, dont even think about working here again. Without turning her head, Serena Buster left the room and mmed the door. Upon hearing the mming of the door, Lilian Lopez swept all the sses on the table to the ground. The sound of ss breaking was heard all around, scaring the assistant into backing a few steps. Damn it! A mere stand-in dares to m the door in my face. Whats happening to the world! Lilian Lopez cursed a lot, then picked up her cell phone from the sofa. She opened her newly registered Facebook ount,posed a post, added a video and posted it. Chapter 42 - 42: Ridiculed by the Crowd Chapter 42: Ridiculed by the Crowd Trantor: 549690339 As she left the room, Serena Buster could no longer hold back her tears. Humiliation, helplessness, anger, and the sorrow of an unbearable reality all surged to her heart at once. This was not the first time Lilian Lopez had bullied her, starting from the script reading. Knowing that she yed a small role, Lilian kept ordering her around, insulting her and mocking her. Originally, she didnt have many scenes, so she didnt need to be there every day for the month of script reading and makeup setting. But Lilian Lopez insisted that shee every day, treating her like an assistant. Otherwise, she wouldnt let her y the role at all. Even more so on the film set in recent days, she had no chance to work outside even when she wasnt in any scenes. Once Serena started crying, it was like breaking the dam C she couldnt stop, the sadness came from the heart. Walking slowly, Daisy Zane had just heard the sound of a mming door when she encountered Serena a secondter. Serena was the kind of beauty that looked sweet, especially when she cried. It was pitiful and heart-wrenching. The two stood about two meters apart, Daisy Zane expressionless, her phoenix eyes cold and unweing. But she didnt move, and neither did Serena. Seeing someone crying so pitifully in front of her, Daisy Zane thought for a moment, then sidestepped, intending to leave first. But just as she passed, Serena suddenly called out to her, Daisy Zane. It was the second time this person had stopped her, so Daisy Zane stopped walking, turned around to look at her, and didnt speak. Serena Buster also turned around, not speaking, just letting the tears fall. Daisy Zane didnt quite understand her behavior and watched her for a few seconds before taking a piece of sugar out of her pocket and handing it to her. Then Serenas crying grew even louder. Daisy Zanes eyebrows twitched. Serena took the sugar from her hand, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, turned around, and walked away, still crying. Watching her retreating figure, Daisy Zane held back and held back again, but finally couldnt help her mouth twitching. What kind of behavior was this? Back in her room, Daisy Zane called James Collins. James had arrived in the town yesterday, and the trouble at the Sky Rights Bar had caused quite a stir but had not affected Red Cliff Vige. The batch of drugs was still scheduled to arrive in three days. Arthur Norths arrival at this time was probably rted to this matter. James only knew their exact trading location but had no idea what was inside or what they were doing. Sister, Arthur North brought a lot of people with him, so I dont think well need to get involved, said James Collins. I want to see if there are any valuable clues, replied Daisy Zane. Since the elixir had appeared, various research institutes and even the Research Institute had been investigating it, not only to eradicate it but also to rescue those who had been harmed by it. But more than two years had passed, and despite the many researchers at the Research Institute, no one had been able to fully understand or counteract the elixir. So even with a one-in-a-thousand chance, Daisy Zane still wanted to go and see if there was any drug-rted information. They had received too little information, so they had to seize any little hope they could find. As for the people responsible for transportation, Arthur North would naturally deal with them once he caught them. James understood what she was looking for: Sister, Arthur North is cooperating with the police. If they find something, theyll definitely hand it over. I have to go personally, insisted Daisy Zane. James stopped talking, knowing how much the elixir mattered to Daisy, and that she would take any matter rted to it very seriously. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane pressed her brow. After a while, she pulled the pendant hanging around her neck from under her clothes. It was a simple heart-shaped pendant made of two pieces of white goose egg stones glued together. The stones were wrapped in a woven red rope around the edge. mboyant red enveloped the pure white. Daisy Zane clenched the pendant, and ayer of red gradually appeared in her eyes, her expression bing even more vicious. Just past one in the early morning, the cell phone ringing echoed throughout the room. Daisy Zane leaned on the sofa, abruptly opening her eyes, the red bloodshot dering her exhaustion. It took her a couple of seconds to realize that she had just been dreaming. She put the pendant back into her clothes, took her cell phone, and answered, Sister Emily, what happened? Daisy, what happened today on the film set with the martial arts instructor? Hill Dawson asked anxiously. Huh? Daisy Zane had been asleep on the sofa, her voice was a little hoarse. Someone leaked that you hit someone on the set using a martial arts move, Hill Dawson said, Its already in the top ten trending topics. Theres also a video from your shooting scene that looks pretty real. Ah, I did hit him, Daisy Zane admitted. Huh?! Hill Dawsons voice changed, Why? He wanted to scratch my face, Daisy Zane replied calmly. If it werent for the camera, she would have disabled his hands on the spot. He wanted to scratch your face?! Hill Dawsons voice suddenly rose, What was he thinking? Who told him to do that? Hes gone too far! As soon as she finished speaking, Daisy Zane heard the sound of a child crying from the phone. Hill Dawson had been speaking too loudly, scaring the sleeping child awake. Mommy is here, mommy is here, dont be afraid, dont be afraid, Hill Dawson cooed to the child while saying, At this time, the trending topic is still rising, someone must be manipting it. The video is really bad for us, but Ill figure out a solution for now. You dont have to worry, go to bed early, I have evidence, so itll be fine by tomorrow morning. Huh? Dont worry. After hanging up, Daisy Zane went to wash and change into her pajamas, and after returning to bed, she opened the trending topics on her phone to have a look. The first post was from a newly registered ount. The caption read: The circle is too deep, they dont treat people like people at all. The action scenes are too real, and the martial arts actor couldnt get up for a long time after being hit. There was also a video below, all of her hitting the man. The part where the martial arts instructor tried to scratch her face had been cut out. And the ce where she unloaded the martial arts instructors wrist, if the video were slowed down by ten times, it should be visible. Thements were also mostly one-sided, all insulting her. All kinds of ugly words, personal attacks, and even cursing her ancestors for eighteen generations. Daisy Zane watched for a while and decided to contact Arthur North tomorrow morning to get a statement from the martial arts instructor. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang several times in quick session. She opened it to see a group chat with only a period as its name. Robinson Scott first forwarded a Facebook post to the group, then tagged all group members. Roy Ryder: [Come and see our Brother Nine in action, look at those long legs, look at the ferocity when she kicks someone, doesnt it make you miss her?] Luke: [Shes only using a tenth of her strength. If she were at full power, this strongman might be in serious danger.] Logan: [I went to look at thements, theyre all scolding Brother Nine, hahahahahahaha.] Henry Brown: [Im gonna watch too, Ive never seen anyone scold Brother Nine before, I cant miss this rare opportunity.] Alvin Phantom: [Dont worry, therell be plenty more on the inte in the future, you wont miss out.] Logan: [Someone even cursed Brother Nine as an ugly monster, Im dyingughing, hahahahahahahaha.] Samuel Gray: [Damn! You guys have no heart, Brother Nine is being scolded, and youreughing so loudly, youre not afraid of being found dead on the street tomorrow.] Roy Ryder: [Dont worry, she doesnt have any night scenes tonight, and shell definitely be asleep at this time. In a while well disband this group, create a new one, and she wont know about it.] Just as those words were said, Daisy Zane sent a deathly smiling face. The group suddenly fell silent. Then Daisy Zane changed the group name to three smiling faces. After that, Daisy Zanes bank card received a series of transfers and six apology messages. Chapter 43 - 43: Third Master Worries Chapter 43: Third Master Worries Trantor: 549690339 The online bashing was raging, while Daisy Zane counted money in her dreams all night. When she woke up the next day, the first thing she saw on her phone was a production notice stating that the director was sick and had halted shooting for a day. Then she saw the message Kevin rk had sent twenty minutes earlier: [Tell me when youre awake.] Daisy replied to him first, then checked the hot searches while heading to the washroom. Two hours earlier, the Truro Police Department had released a post on their official Facebook. The text read: The truth is unknown, please do not make rashments. A video was attached below. It was from the martial arts instructor; the background seemed to have been filmed in an interrogation chamber. The martial arts instructor had confessed everything clearly, not mentioning Lilian Lopezs name directly, but using Lilian Someone instead. He exined that Daisy Zanes actions were also acts of self-defense. He then apologized to Lady Zane, expressing his repentance and determination to change for the better. Daisy browsed thements. Under the Facebook post, thements were mostly in support of justice. However, thements in the hot search about Lilian Someone were not friendly. It was no secret which drama crew Daisy Zane was in and who was involved: Although Lilian Someone didnt explicitly mention Lilian Lopez, it pointed directly at her. She had high traffic and poprity, and the more famous one is, the more controversies they face. She couldnt escape involvement, whether she was involved or not. The top five hot searches included two rted topics, and Daisy casually clicked on one. The discussions were heated. [There are so many people with the surname Lilian in the world. Howe you know its our Lilian? Did the martial arts instructor tell you?] [If its Lilian Lopez, and the incident has grown this big, she would have been taken away by now. How could she still be in the hotel?] [Daisy Zanes a neer. What would Lilian, with her current status, gain from going after a neer? Do you think everyone is as idle as you?] [Whats wrong with being a neer? Daisy Zane is so beautiful, she doesnt have to do anything, just standing there is a threat. You ask whatd she do to a neer, shes just jealous.] [Besides, are the words of that martial arts instructor necessarily true? What if he is being instructed by someone to say so intentionally?] [Perhaps the 2.5 million in the bank card was given by the Tangs, who asked to nder others.] [Damn, is the wisdom in thisment section below three years old? This was officially published; what are you questioning? You can question the official website below, dont bicker here.] [At first nce, Daisy Zane doesnt seem like a fuel-efficientmp. Who knows whos backing her? Theres no news from the drama crew, and the martial arts instructor has been sent in; this is the first time Ive seen someone so capable.] [If youre not capable, dont doubt other peoples abilities.] [Even if Daisy Zane acted in self-defense, was it necessary for her to beat someone so severely? Thats crazy behavior.] After a while, Lilian Lopez even made a Facebook post saying that the clear will rify themselves, and she is willing to cooperate with the investigation. The sense of grievance from being wrongly used was apparent between the lines. Underneath her Facebook post, all thements wereforting and believing in her. Daisy couldnt help butugh at this. After washing up, she took her cell phone to the living room. As she was about to sit on the sofa, she received a message from Kevin rk: [Open the door, Im at the entrance.] She felt Kevin must have timed his arrival based on her usual time spent washing up. Opening the door, Kevin was still wearing his ck shirt, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, looking like the result ofck of rest. However, his spirit seemed quite good. Good morning, Lady Zane, Allonzo Hobson suddenly appeared from behind Kevin, Dont worry, no one will know were here. Let us in quickly. Morning, Daisy stepped aside to let the two of them in. Allonzo Hobson, carrying breakfast, entered first, followed by Kevin. His eyes dropped to look at Daisy, How did you sleepst night? Its fine. Daisy Zane knew what he wanted to ask, Its just small matters that wont affect me. Yeah, theyre just small matters. Xavier Dominic put breakfast on the table, saying, We cant control other peoples mouths. But the ones who speak more harshly are the ones who are most jealous of you. Because theyre not as good as you. Daisy Zane smiled and sat down at the table, looking at Arthur North, You dont seem to have rested well. Is it that obvious? Arthur North also sat down. Not really, just a bit red at the corner of your eyes. Daisy Zane thought to herself, he even looked more like a fairy now. Arthur Norths cold white fingertips touched the corner of his eye, I went back to the Imperial Capitalst night and just came back this morning. I said you should rest in the Imperial Capital beforeing back. Xavier Dominic said, You were so eager toe back, but Ive already told you that Lady Zane would be fine. Besides, Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway are here, and worsees to worst, my mom still lives upstairs. Daisy Zane gave him a raised eyebrow. Arthur North paused as he rolled up his sleeves, his voice gentle, Dont listen to his nonsense. Im not talking nonsense. Xavier Dominic ced the soy milk in front of the two, Lady Zane, we were too busyst night and didnt notice the online messages. As soon as we found out this morning, we hurriedly contacted people. Thank you. No need to thank us, our Third Master did it willingly. Xavier Dominic said cheekily. Arthur North couldnt be bothered with him and ced the custard bun he bought in front of Daisy Zane, Theres no work at the drama crew today. Do you want to go somewhere? Where do you guys stay? Theres a guest house at the other end of town that weve booked. Arthur North said, Would you like to go check it out? Theres a smallke nearby, and the view is nice. Sure. Alright, well head there after breakfast. But after breakfast, they could not leave immediately. The doorbell suddenly rang urgently. The three exchanged nces, and Daisy Zane said, Go to the bedchamber. Arthur North didnt think it was very convenient, but after looking around, there was really nowhere else to go, so he nodded and went to the bedchamber. Daisy Zane opened the door, and Serena Buster, looking anxious, was standing outside, getting startled by the sound of the door opening. Somethings up? Daisy Zane asked. Yes. Serena Busters eyes were slightly green, and she seemed overly tense, Can Ie in and talk? Its something very important. Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let her in. Once inside, Serena Buster immediately sat on the sofa. She seemed to be so nervous that she needed to take a break right away. Daisy Zane poured her a ss of water and sat down opposite her. Since yesterday, she had been holding on to something to tell her, but she hesitated and seemed scared. I Serena Buster took a sip of water, then gently inhaled, Yesterday I went to the film set. Daisy Zane didnt say anything and just looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Feeling the pressure of Daisy Zanes gaze, Serena Buster was hesitant to look up. After a few seconds of silence, she said, You When you were practicing with the martial arts instructor, I snuck and hid behind the props to watch you. Daisy Zanes eyes suddenly narrowed. 11 didnt mean any harm. 11 just wanted to see. Serena Busters voice grew fainter and weaker, I saw him touch you, but 11 was too scared, so I didnt go out. But I turned on the recording. Inside the bedchamber, Arthur North and Xavier Dominic were standing by the door. Out of respect, neither of them looked inside. The door was not fully closed. So naturally, the conversation in the living room reached their ears as well. At first, everything was okay, but after the words he touched you reached the bedroom. Xavier Dominic could clearly feel Arthur North getting angry. That kind of diffused, deadly silent murderous aura was too intimidating. Xavier Dominic couldnt take it any longer and shifted to the side. Soon, Arthur North took out his cell phone and sent a message to Michael Jackson: [Find out if the martial arts instructor had any previous issues, make sure he stays in jail. And I want his two arms.] Michael Jackson: [Yes, Third Master, Ill do it right away..] Chapter 44 - 44: I Actually Care Quite a Bit About My Image Chapter 44: I Actually Care Quite a Bit About My Image Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane couldnt detect any malice in Serena Buster, but she was naturally on guard against a stranger, especially one who had been peeking at her. So? Daisys voice was even colder than usual. Serenas hand holding the ss trembled: But I turned on my cell phone toote, and only recorded him cursing at you. Then I also recorded Lilian Lopez looking for the martial arts instructor to make a deal. II was too scared, so I didnt dare record a video; I just recorded the audio. Daisy understood what she came for, but still asked, Tell me why? I think its helpful to you. Really? Daisy said straightly, Do you think its helpful to me, or do you want to get rid of a problem for yourself? Serena lowered her head and was silent for a while: Both. But Im too insignificant, I have nothing, my words carry little weight. Releasing this audio might not even create a ripple. It could also bring about some trouble. Then why do you think I would dare? And why would you think I would do it? You definitely dare, and you would definitely do it. Serena was very sure about this. Daisy looked at her face and went through all her memories, finding no memory rted to this face; she must never have seen her before. Seeing that she didnt speak, Serena took out her cell phone, and opened the pitch-ck video, cing it on the table. After a rustling sound, the martial arts instructors cursing voice came on. Then came the sound of Lilian Lopez talking, apanied by some nervous breathing. The audio was very clear, and it was obvious that it was her voice. This audio was a fatal blow to Lilian Lopez. There was no need to think about it; now Lilians entire team, including Olivia Chester, must be looking for ways to suppress this matter by pulling strings and relying on connections. Lilian dared to post that Facebook message because she must not have expected any evidence and likely had confidence in finding useful connections; thats why she dared to post it. But they couldnt have imagined that behind them was the rk Family of Imperial Capital. Lilian shouldnt expect to live in peace. Moreover, even if Arthur North didnt want to do anything more for the time being, Daisy wouldnt let it rest. She never thought of herself aspassionate. +1f Lilian doesnt want her to survive in the entertainment industry, the least severe oue for Lilian would be to disappear from the entertainment industry. If there was no audio, Lilian would quietly disappear from the public eye. With the audio, not only would it save a lot of trouble, but Lilian would also spectacrly disappear from the silver screen. What are the conditions? Daisy asked. What conditions? Serena didnt understand. The conditions to give me the audio. Serena shook her head: No conditions, just like you said, I can avoid a big problem. Yesterday, you must have heard how she humiliated me without treating me like a person. I hate her so much, sometimes I wish she were dead. But Im too cowardly, I dont dare to cause trouble, and I dont dare to fight back; I wont dare to do anything. Daisys expression was faint, with no visible emotional change, as if she were an emotionless, unsympathetic machine. After listening to her, Daisy picked up her own cell phone, added Serenas contact, and asked her to send the audio to her. Once the task waspleted, Serena left. At the entrance, Daisy suddenly said, Many times, people bully you because they know you wont fight back. Serena stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Daisy, her eyes reddening. If you dont want those things to be shadows, you have to learn to shatter those that cause your shadows, Daisys voice was cold, and she seemed unconcerned as she spoke. Serena wiped her eyes, Thank you. Daisy did not respond. After she left, Daisy closed the door and returned to the living room. Arthur North and Xavier Dominic had alreadye out. Xavier looked fine, but Arthurs expression wasnt great. It was a bit serious and intimidating. Daisy nced at them, thinking they had something on their minds. But Xavier took out his phone and went outside on his own, saying, Im going to make a call; you guys talk. Daisy listened to the sound of the room door opening and closing, her eyes slowly filling with confusion. Arthur stared at her for a while, then raised his hand to pinch his brow, Lucia, do you remember what I told you? Huh? He had said too many things; Daisy didnt know which one he was referring to at the moment. I said that in the drama crew, if anyone bullies you, beat them to death, Arthurs voice was cold and ruthless. After saying this, he forced himself to soften his tone a bit, Why dont you listen? Daisy grinned, I did hit him. Your strike was too light, Arthur really wanted to drag the person out and personally waste him. Especially when he heard the cursing in the audio, he felt he had been too lenient. Im a girl, it wouldnt be good if I hit too hard, Daisy sat on the back of the sofa. Somehow, she felt happy seeing Arthur like this, Im quite image-conscious. Arthur immediately sensed her happiness, hesitated for a moment, and his expression softened, Your image has always been very good, no matter what. He paused and added, Especially good. Daisy lowered her head andughed. Arthur looked at the little girl in front of him, who wasughing with her head down, and felt somewhat helpless. After watching for a while, he couldnt help but raise his hand and rub the top of her head, Lets go, to the guesthouse. Daisy looked up at him, the corners of her eyes still filled with a fine hint ofughter, and hesitated for a moment. Arthur was also watching her, although smiling, his eyes were observing her reaction, whether she was repelled or disgusted by this action, and he wasnt very sure in his heart. But Daisy just looked at him for a moment and then stood up from the sofa, saying, Ill grab a coat. As he watched her enter the bedroom, Arthur slowly clenched his hand. It still had the feeling of her hair, and Daisy didnt show any signs of repulsion. Thinking of this, Arthur lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth gently curved upwards. Theughter in his narrow, elongated eyes grew deeper and deeper; with the red corners of his eyes, it was both wicked and intoxicating. The guesthouse they were staying at was very nice; the town wasnt very developed, but it had beautiful scenery. Half of the guesthouse was built on ake. There were lotus flowers in theke which Arthur liked. However, by this season, there were only a few flowers left, and the rest were either leaves or lotus pods. Upon arriving, Daisy walked along theke to the guesthouse, Can these lotus pods be picked? Yes. Arthur said as he bent down to pick two for Daisy. Daisy took them, nced at them, and felt the lotus seeds, Can they be eaten? Yes, Arthurughed, Ill peel them for you to tryter. Xavier, who was following the two of them, heard their conversation and smiled.. Chapter 45 - 45: Reading a Book to Lull You to Sleep Chapter 45: Reading a Book to Lull You to Sleep Trantor: 549690339 At the guest house, Kevin rk, Allonzo Hobson, Michael Jackson, and Thomas Firway were staying. When they walked from theke to the guest house, they ran into Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway. Michael Jackson greeted Daisy Zane politely, but Thomas Firway red at Daisy Zane after calling out Third Master and Young Master Hobson. Daisy Zane didnt care, even lifting her eyebrows slightly. Its just that, Thomas Firway received a knife-like gaze from Kevin rk, which frightened him and made him shrink his neck, and he hurriedly find an excuse to leave. In the morning, Kevin rk apanied Daisy Zane as they strolled around, and even rowed a boat on theke for a while. After lunch, Daisy Zane sat down on a recliner in the sunroom, looking at lotuses in theke through the ss. It was early afternoon, sunlight pouring in, veryfortable. In a short while, Kevin rk came over with a few lotus seeds and sat on the recliner next to Daisy Zane. A small round table separated the two of them. Kevin rk ced the lotus seeds on the round table and began to peel one. Daisy Zane tilted her head to watch him, her spirits always high, showing no signs of fatigue, but the red at the corners of her eyes seemed to deepen. You can go ahead and do your business, no need to apany me. I have nothing to do; I am quite free today. Kevin rk looked up and smiled at her, then lowered his head to continue peeling the lotus seed. As the green lotus seed was peeled open, the green-coated lotus seeds were taken out one by one. Kevin rks hands were too beautiful C slender, fair-skinned, and forceful. Through those hands, one seemed to sense the owners devilishly perfect face. Take a break, then. Even with a warm statement, Daisy Zane spoke coolly and dispassionately. But Kevin rk was used to it, or rather, he understood Daisy Zane. He could sense her emotions from her t, emotionless tone. It was as if Daisy Zane had wrapped herselfyer byyer in a tough, indifferent exterior, but he could see through thoseyers of icy coldness to her passionate heart. Its okay. Kevin rk removed the green skin of the lotus seed, broke it apart to remove the lotus heart, and then ced it on a small te beside him, Im not tired; have a taste. Daisy Zane kept staring at his hands for a while before picking up a lotus seed and putting it in her mouth, tasting it. How is it? Hmm Daisy Zane savored the taste again, Its a bit like fresh peanuts just pulled out of the ground. Huh? Kevin rk looked up at her, still peeling the lotus seed, Really? Daisy Zane nodded and ate another one: I feel the same way, like its just been unearthed and still very tender. I havent had freshly unearthed peanuts. At Kevin rks casual remark, Daisy Zanes eyshes suddenly trembled. Neither had she in her memory But when she tasted the lotus seed, she thought of peanuts. If you like it, Ill have someone bring some over from the Imperial Capital. Kevin rk said, Or Ill take you to have freshly picked ones when the drama crew takes a break. Daisy Zaneughed, swinging the recliner with her foot on the ground: Is Third Master willing to do that? Of course, I am. Kevin rk had a good sense of propriety in his speech. Even when he uttered ambiguous words, they sounded veryfortableing from his lips. Not just his words, but also his expressions and actions were all very pleasant to people. He clearly expressed his thoughts but gave you the utmost respect as a gentleman. Daisy Zane felt that this might be one of the important reasons, besides seeing his face making her feel good, that she did not keep her distance from him. I heard that the lotus varieties of Third Master are very rare, some even priceless. Daisy Zane said faintly, I also heard that some people have been executed for letting the lotuses die. Kevin rk looked up at her, looking at her slightly upturned indifferent eyes, then reluctantly lowered his eyes: Daisy, I told you, dont believe in rumors. Daisy Zane enjoyed seeing his helpless expression and smiled softly. Kevin rk saw her eyes withughter, his Adams apple moved slightly, and then forced himself to look outside the sunroom, staring at the dazzling sunlight for a while. After peeling a te of lotus seeds, Kevin rk washed his hands and returned to sit with Daisy Zane for a while. He asked, What are you nning to do about Lilian Lopez? Ill release the audio. Daisy Zane looked down at the sparklingke, Its always been unpleasant to the eyes. Do you need help? Kevin rk knew she was not simple, but he was afraid she wouldnt be able to y against Olivia Chester. In the end, even if the audio was released, it would not cause much ripples. No need, I can handle it myself, Daisy Zane said, I wont hesitate to ask for help if I need it. Alright. The sunroom was warm, especially with the sunlight streaming in, making ones consciousness slightly drowsy. Daisy nced at Kevin rk, thought for a moment, and then took out her cell phone to send a message to Michael Jackson. Soon, Michael knocked on the ss beside the door and walked in with a few books, Third Master, Lady Zane. Kevin looked at the books in his hand, and asked, Whats going on? I sent Assistant Jackson a message to ask him to help find a book to read, Daisy exined. Kevin squinted his eyes, and Michael suddenly stopped in his tracks and swallowed hard. He read You should be a corpse for contacting behind my back from Third Masters gaze. Daisy noticed Michaels tension and turned to look at Kevin. Kevin immediately smiled gently at her and asked, Want to read a book? This face-changing speed could challenge a Guinness World Record. Daisy nodded, took a few books from Michael, and flipped through them casually. They were all foreign works, and two of them were entirely in English. I got these from the guest house owner; I didnt pay attention and just brought them over, Michael exined when he saw the dense English words, immediately thinking of Daisy Zane has never been to school. Handing her all-English books would be humiliating, right? With this thought, sweat broke out on Michaels forehead, and he even felt that he was about to lose his job right away. He didnt dare to look at Kevins gaze on him. Ill take this one, Daisy handed back the remaining books to Michael and said, Thank you. Michael took them, and hurriedly said, Youre wee. Its my duty. Then he nced at the book in Daisys hand, Future History. The book cover had Chinese characters, but the inside was all in English. For some reason, Michael just stood there, not moving. Kevin was also looking at the book in her hand. Daisy nced at the catalogue, then directly went to the text and looked at it for a while before saying, The owners book is a pirated version. Theres a misprint in the English. Michaels eyes widened because, following where Daisy was pointing, the word was indeed wrong. Kevin raised an eyebrow and smiled. He then looked towards Michael. Feeling the gaze, Michael quickly left the room, no longer surprised. Daisy looked down for a while, turning two pages before looking up at Kevin, who had been watching her the whole time, My English is pretty good. Want to hear it? Kevin showed no sign of embarrassment and graciously smiled, Id be honored. Daisy threw the nket next to her to him: Lie down. After that, she threw another nket over herself andy back on the recliner. she flipped the book back to the first page of the text. Kevin immediately understood that she wanted him to rest for a while. He spread the nket over himself andy down. Seeing that he was settled, Daisy began to read the book aloud: At the dawn of the third millennium, humanity wakes up, stretching its limbs, and rubbing its eyes. Remnants of some awful nightmare are still drifting across it mind . A moment of surprise passed in Kevins eyes. He looked at her for a moment, then closed his eyes. Daisys pronunciation was standard, like a slight London ent, yet unique in its own right. Her voice was pleasing, like a breeze and falling snow. It was cool and refreshing, brushing past the heart and calming the mind. In no time, Kevin fell asleep. Daisy continued reading for over twenty minutes after realizing he was asleep, then ced the book on her chest and turned her head to look at Kevin. Underneath the sunlight, Kevins skin seemed to glow, his lips a deep red, his eyshes thick and his face appeared like a richly painted ancient painting. Daisy watched him for a while, then smiled and closed her eyes as well. That afternoon, with the warm sunshine, a bright blue sky, and a tranquilke, the serenity of knowing each other was close by enveloped them both. Chapter 46 - 46: Lilian Lopez Comes to the Door Chapter 46: Lilian Lopez Comes to the Door Trantor: 549690339 When Daisy Zane woke up, Kevin rk was no longer on the recliner. She sat up and looked around. The sun was about to set, and the sky was turning orange-red. Kevin rk was standing outside the sunroom, listening to Allonzo Hobson and the others talking. Dressed in suit pants and a ck shirt, his slim waist and long legs, tall and elegant figure, and erect and refined posture all caught the eye. For Daisy Zane, who had beenfortably basking in the sun and had just woken up, it was a delightful sight. So she enjoyed it for a while. It seemed Kevin rk noticed her gaze, and suddenly turned to look at her. Through the ss, he saw her sitting up and smiled gently. Then, after saying a few more words to Allonzo Hobson and the others, he came over to her. He poured her a ss of water: Youre awake? Daisy Zane looked at his eyes, which were no longer as red: Mmhmm, when did you wake up? About twenty minutes ago, Kevin rk replied with a smile. Daisy Zane nodded and took a sip of her water. Folding the nket and cing it aside, she stood up: Its gettingte. I should go. Stay for dinner. Kevin rk said, Red Date and Lotus Seed Porridge, made with local ingredients. Michael Jacksons cooking skills were trained by the master at the Doomsday Hotel. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow: Assistant Jackson sure is versatile. What about me? Kevin rk suddenly asked. Taken aback by his question, Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment. Kevin rk appeared not to have expected his own question either, and chuckled lightly, Im just joking. He felt like he might have been influenced by Michael Jacksonspetitiveness, such childishparisons. He should find a driver-cum-bodyguard to rece Michael Jackson. Youre even more versatile, Daisy Zane said. Hearing her answer, a deeper smile appeared in Kevin rks eyes. As Daisy Zane held her phone in one hand and raised the other hand to touch her neck, she forwarded the audio recording from Serena Buster to Holt Lawrence, instructing him to release it tonight. She also took the opportunity to ask him for a thorough background check on Lilian Lopez. Just after sending the message and putting the phone away, she saw a reflection on Kevin rk. Without thinking, she swiftly moved to his side and pushed him into a blind spot at the corner. There was a small wooden pavilion beside the sunroom, which just happened to block the view from outside. Due to the swiftness of Daisy Zanes actions, she knocked the sses on the small round table to the ground, breaking them. Kevin rk was a bit slow to react, and just as Daisy Zane pressed him against the ss, he instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling. With his back against the ss and one of his wrists held tightly, he felt the sudden surge of murderous intent and tyranny from Daisy Zane. Lucia, whats wrong? Kevin rk did not move, only nced down at her head and asked softly. Daisy Zane also did not move. With one hand holding his wrist and the other on his shoulder, she looked behind her. Only after seeing that the light had shifted to several different ces on the recliner, the round table, and the ss behind them, did she finally rx. Following her gaze, Kevin rk saw the light on the ground as well, saying, It must be Thomas Firways cell phone case. Theres a mirror on the back thats reflecting the light. The scent of eaglewood filled her nostrils, and a gentle voice lingered in her ears. Daisy Zane looked up at Kevin rk. Her still cold eyes met a pair of gentle and enchanting ones. Kevin rks eyes seemed to possess some kind of magic that could draw people in. They conveyed his strength, gentleness, and sense of security. As the two of them stared at each other in the dim corner, their surroundings slowly faded away. After a moment, the hand Kevin rk had ced on Daisy Zanes waist tightened, and he slowly averted his gaze. Coming to her senses, Daisy Zane released his hand, stepped back, and lowered her eyes, Im sorry, I thought it was Hearing her half-spoken words, with interest in his eyes, Kevin rk asked, You thought it was what? Daisy Zane shook her head. She had thought it was the reflection from the scope of a sniper rifle. But nowadays, most rifle scopes were made of non-reflective materials. Kevin rk nced at the handprint on his wrist and raised his eyebrows, not asking anything more. After dinner, Kevin rk drove Daisy Zane back to the hotel and handed her some candies before she got out of the car. Daisy Zane popped one in her mouth and returned to the hotel. As she got out of the elevator and hadnt walked to her room entrance yet, she saw someone standing outside her door. The person at the entrance saw her too and hurried over: Lady Zane, hello. I am Lilian Lopezs assistant, and Sister Molly has something to talk to you about. Lilian Lopez had several assistants and changed them frequently. Daisy had never met this one before: Ask her toe find me. Sister Molly is waiting for you in her room. The assistant said, Please follow me. The assistant made a gesture of invitation. After thinking about it, Daisy turned around and followed her. When they arrived at Lilian Lopezs room entrance, the assistant knocked three times, waited for three seconds, and then used her keycard to open the door. Daisy Zane, with her hands in her pockets, stood behind her and watched her series of actions before following her into the room. Youre here? Lilian Lopez sat in a bathrobe on the sofa, Its really difficult to invite you. Whats the matter? Daisy Zane nced at the three bodyguards standing behind her sofa, wearing ck suits, strong and imposing. Daisy Zane, you really have no manners. Lilian Lopez rubbed her nails, sneering, There are plenty of unspoken rules in this circle. Who else is like you, always calling the police, making such a big deal out of things? What rules? Daisy Zane looked at her and chuckled, I have always followed my own rules. Arrogant. Lilian Lopez didnt want to say more and went straight to the point, Tell me, how do you want to solve this problem? Whether its money or resources, I can give them to you and wont bother you in the future. Daisy Zane guessed that Olivia Chester must have failed to find someone to help with their connection. Even though the bank card she had used wasnt linked to her identity information, if she was investigated, she would not have an easy time without any useful connections. Isnt it being resolved? Daisy said, How to solve it next depends on the police stations procedures. What do you want! Lilian Lopez threw the nail file to the ground. Do nothing, you dont want me to mix in this circle, and I dont want you to mix in this circle, isnt that fair? Daisy Zane, dont refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty. Lilian Lopez stood up and said, Do you know the simplest way to ruin a woman? Ruin her innocence. Lilian Lopezughed, her eyes malicious: Did you see the three of them? Youd better agree with me today and settle with the police. Otherwise, you wont be able to leave this room. And various dirty photos of you will be flying all over the ce tomorrow. Daisy Zanes brows twitched lightly. Lilian Lopez took two steps towards her and said: Not only will you not be able to make it in this circle, but youll also be a street mouse in this world that everyone wants to beat. What if I say no? Daisy Zanes mouth curved in a faint smile. Good, youre a tough nut to crack. Lilian Lopez said, Well then, enjoy yourself tonight. After finishing her words, Lilian Lopez sat back on the sofa and made a gesture to the three men. One of them went to grab a camera while the other two took off their suit jackets and walked towards her. Lilian Lopez had an expression of watching a show, and her assistant stood by, her head down and shivering. As the man approached her, Daisy Zane immediately kicked one of them to the ground, and before the other man could resist, threw a punch at his face and knocked him down as well. The man holding the camera hesitated for a moment before rushing over. Daisy Zane dodged to the side, grabbed his wrist and twisted it, disarming him. The camera fell to the floor and broke. Daisy Zane kicked him on the lower leg, knocking him to the ground as well. All three meny on the ground, the first one unable to get up even after two attempts. Daisy Zane didnt even change her expression from beginning to end. Lilian Lopez stood up in fright, her face pale. Daisy Zane shook her wrist and whispered, Either get lost or die. Like a sentence from the depths of hell, the three men were scared to climb up and ran out the door immediately. Now its just you. Daisy Zane looked at Lilian Lopez and approached her step by step. For a moment, Lilian Lopez thought Daisy Zane was like a madwoman. She began to tremble uncontrobly, and as Daisy Zane was about to approach her, she turned to run. Daisy Zane moved forward two steps, and her hand went from behind to the front to grab her throat. Lilian Lopez instinctively raised her hand to hold onto the hand gripping her throat. Daisy Zane took down the hairpin from her hair, and her ck hair cascaded over her shoulders. She pressed the hairpin against Lilian Lopezs tender face, whispering in her ear, You should be d that Ive restrained myself a lot now. Otherwise Daisy Zanes hand exerted a bit of force, and the hairpin pressed deeper into her face, I wouldve peeled off your face.. Chapter 47 - 47: How Lovely Chapter 47: How Lovely Trantor: 549690339 The room was as bright as daylight, but Lilian Lopez felt darkness surrounding her. Her brain had stopped thinking. Though Daisy Zanes hand around her neck didnt strangle her, she still felt it hard to breathe. Her breath was hot, but her body was cold and rigid and her hair stood on end. Why was this person so terrifying? The assistant fell to the floor, holding her head and shaking uncontrobly. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze at Lilians face; her eyes seemed to freeze. She held a hairpin, pressing it against Lilians skin without breaking it, but making it hurt. Lilians legs instantly went weak, and her body trembled involuntarily. Lilian Lopez, you really know how to cross my line, Daisy Zane chuckled lightly, then let go of her hand. Lilian fell to the ground, gasping for air, one hand covering her neck, and the other on her face. Her tears blurred her vision, and she sobbed gently as she dared not look up at Daisy Zane. Standing there for a while, Daisy Zane put the hairpin in her pocket and turned to leave the room. After returning to her room, Daisy Zane took a cold shower to clear her head. Sitting on the bed, she saw the phone call from Holt Lawrence twenty minutes ago. As she dried her hair, she called him back. The audio has been released? Daisy Zane asked. Yes, its out. I found some evidence of old scandals shes rified before, so I sent those too, Holt Lawrence replied, Its pretty lively online now. I suddenly discovered how enjoyable gossip can be. Is there anything else? Daisy Zane asked directly. Theres actually a more ruthless one. Holt Lawrence spoke before noting the change in Daisys tone, Nana, whats wrong? Nothing. Daisy Zane threw the towel aside, You can continue. A few years ago, there was a well-known director with the surname Park. Lilian Lopez was his mistress. The car ident that killed his wife was arranged by her. The drunk driver at fault is still in jail. Holt Lawrence exined, Lilian even married the director. But when his career started to decline, she divorced him. Just expose it online, Daisy Zanes eyes were fierce, Someone will naturally investigate. You should prepare the evidence. Holt Lawrences first reaction upon hearing this was that Lilian must have upset Daisy Zane, Alright, Ill take care of it immediately. After hanging up, Daisy Zane rubbed her brow. Even if Lilian had found a group of people to cripple her today, she wouldnt be as furious as she is now. But the moment her hand touched Lilians neck, she almost lost control. The candy vor in her mouth made her let go. Daisy Zane sat in a daze on the bed for a while before making another call, About all of Lilians works, tell someone to pull them off the shelves. Whats going on? The male voice on the other end was around fifty years old and sounded surprised. Daisy Zane didnt answer, saying instead, I dont want to see a single news about her once the official news is out, whether its cursing her or anything else. The other party was silent for a moment, Alright, Ill have someone handle it. The next day, the drama crew resumed work. Although the female lead had not been decided, they couldnt linger on indefinitely without filming. Hence, scenes with Daisy Zane and George Dunn, and those without a female lead, were brought forward. The director was genuinely ill yesterday, not pretending. His mouth had blisters, and his voice had be hoarse. Although it was not explicitly stated why they werent filming the female leads scenes, everyone knew the reason. The big newsst night was floating on the trending searches. Who would dare to use her now? While everyone enjoyed the gossip, they felt that Lilian was terrifying. And this morning, suddenly all works rted to Lilian, including variety shows and even her insert songs, were taken down. The only thing searchable about her now was the trending searches. It was the first time anyone had seen works being pulled off before the official announcement. Last nights fans, who fought hard for their idols innocence, were instantly deted. The removal of her works made it clear Lilians scandals were real, they didnt even need an official statement. Daisy Zane focused on her acting on the film set,pletely ignoring the news online. She didnt even know Lilians works had been taken down. Arthur North, tell me the truth, did you really not do anything? Allonzo Hobson stared at the online news with eyes about to pop out. Kevin rk shook his head calmly, but his eyes were unfathomable. Daisy Zanes impression on him can no longer be described as not simple. I had someone check it out, and there is no trace of the person who spread the news online and provided the evidence. Kevin rks voice had a hint ofughter, The person who posted that audio clip cant be found either. Is it one person? Allonzo Hobson asked. Kevin rk nodded: Maybe. And behind them is someone who can take down all works with just one sentence. Allonzo Hobson knew the entertainment industry inside and out, as he had been on the film set since he was a child. He had never seen anything like removing works before the official announcement was made. This feeling was as if someone was suppressing you in the field you were most familiar with and where you could make the best ns. It was terrifying. I she I Allonzo Hobson touched the goosebumps on his arm, I dont even dare to see her now. Kevin rk suddenly understood what eyesore meant. It was about making this personpletely disappear from the public eye. Is she really raised in Cold Green Vige? Allonzo Hobson asked, Shes terrifying. Michael Jackson checked, and she only got her ID cardst year, Kevin rk said. You mean, when she left Cold Green Vige, she might have used another identity? I dont know, maybe. Kevin rks smile deepened. Damn! Allonzo Hobson rubbed his hair in disbelief, What are youughing at? Why are you still able tough? Arent you scared? How adorable. Allonzo Hobson felt his scalp tingle: You call this adorable???? Isnt it? Kevin rk looked at him. Allonzo Hobson immediately felt an invisible pressure, and begrudgingly said: Adorable, adorable, very adorable. Truro City, Miles Familys house. Olivia Chester sat in the Miles living room, looking exhausted. Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles were both apanying her. Soon, she answered another phone call: Lilian Lopez, stop calling me. The path you chose has nothing to do with me. How can it have nothing to do with you! Lilian screamed like a madwoman, You were the one who told me to deal with Daisy Zane, and you cant just kick me away after T get into trouble! What you did years ago had nothing to do with me, Olivia Chester said, You think Daisy Zane is someone capable of finding erased news and having someone take down your works. You should think about who youve offended. Hearing Daisy Zanes name, Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles looked over. Its her! It must be her! Its Daisy Zane! It must be Daisy Zane! Lilian Lopez screamed hysterically. Olivia Chester hung up the phone and turned it off: Its Lilian Lopez. She might be mentally unstable. She insists that Daisy Zane is the one who hurt her. Ive read the news online as well, Charles Hobson sneered, Its obvious that the person behind all this is a big shot. That dead girl came out of Cold Green Vige, and even if she struck gold falling from the sky, she wouldnt have such capability. Shes been unting herself all day and doesnt know who shes offended, and now she wants me to clean up her mess, Olivia Chester rubbed her temples, This year has been really unfortunate for me, one bad thing after another. As long as no one is hurt, everything else is external. Charles Hobson said. Thats true. With Lilian Lopezs situation, I got out just in time, losing only her, and nothing else. Olivia Chester said, Ever since Johanes Miles and his father stopped mentioning Daisy Zane, yourplexion has improved. As long as that little bitch doesnte between our family and Amelia, my mood will be much better. Amelia smiled sweetly at them. Dont worry, if she dares toe to Truro City, I will not let her livefortably. Olivia Chester patted Charles Hobsons hand with a smile. Olivia Chester stayed at the Miles house for the whole afternoon, leaving only when Johanes Miles returned home. Youre back? Charles Hobson went to the entrance to take Johanes Miles coat. Mhm. Johanes Miles looked at him, Youre in a good mood. Not too bad. Dad, youre back? Amelia also came up to greet him. Johanes Miles sat down on the sofa, looked at his wife and daughter, then rubbed his brow and said with some fatigue: Amelia, do you know how the filming of that Daisy Zane show is going? Upon hearing this name from his mouth, the smiles on Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles faces froze for a moment. Whats the matter, Dad? Amelias smile returned hastily, so much so that the usual Sister seemed hard to say, Why suddenly Liam Davis has his eye on her.. Chapter 48 - 48: Red Cliff Village (Part 1) Chapter 48: Red Cliff Vige (Part 1) Trantor: 549690339 The Davis Residence was different from the Miles Family. Thetter had only risen in recent years and joined the ranks of the wealthy. The Davis family, on the other hand, had existed in Truro City for generations, with deep roots and a stable foundation, they were truly wealthy, and had been for several generations. In Truro City, the Miles Family aspired to curry favor with two families; the Andersons and the Davises. At that time, Amelia Miles had two choices too, John Anderson and Liam Davis. And back then, she was more inclined towards Liam Davis. John Anderson was too strictly controlled by his father, his actions were quite conventional. Inparison, Liam Davis was richer, bolder in his actions, and very generous to those around him, he knew how to pamper people. But after subtly expressing her feelings a few times and seeing Liam Davis showing no reaction, she gave up. Liam Daviss standards were far too high, and he also had a mother who was extremely critical. The future Mrs. Davis would certainly need to have an exceptional family background, talent, looks, and abilities. She never wouldve thought, never at all, that he would be attracted to Daisy Zane, whats so good about Daisy Zane? You, are you sure? Charles Hobson asked after a while, Which, which Liam Davis? Of course, its Liam Davis from the Davis family. said Johanes Miles, looking exhausted, He came to ourpany today with a project weve always wanted, the only condition for cooperation is that he wants Daisy Zane to be his girlfriend. How did he, how did he meet Daisy Zane? He saw her online. Johanes Miles said, After seeing her online, he conducted some research and found our family. Then why didnt he go directly to Daisy Zane, why did hee to us? Charles asked in a somewhat anxious tone. Johanes nced at him and said, He said that since he wants to chase her, he must show his sincerity. What sincerity? After this question was asked, both Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles held their breath. The Miles family acknowledges their daughter and treats her equally. Johanes Miles closed his eyes, He wants to give this as a gift to Daisy Zane. Amelias face turned slightly pale, as Charless hand by her side began to tremble. She had witnessed firsthand how Johanes Miles treated his wife and daughter for his own benefit. As long as it was profitable enough for him, he and his always scheming father could do anything. If Liam Davis truly had feelings for Daisy Zane, even if he didnt mention it, for the sake of getting closer to the Davis family, Johanes would have acknowledged his daughter himself. He came back today and honestly told her about this matter, as a preventative measure. So what? You agreed? Charles asked as he looked at him. No. Johanes replied, Amelia, you and John Anderson need to find out about her filming schedule. See when she has time toe and meet Liam Davis. He fears that if he goes to the film set it would be too ostentatious and not good for her. They should meet first, in case he changes his mind after getting to know her. Amelia clenched her palm hard, not letting herself loseposure, and obediently said: Understood. So, if Liam Davis likes her, are you going to acknowledge her as your daughter? Treat her equally? Are you also going to give her a share in the Miles Group? Charles became more and more agitated as he spoke, eventually shouting out loud. Johanes Miles, weary in body and mind, had no more patience to talk, and went directly upstairs. Johanes Miles! Mom, thats enough. Amelia immediately hugged her, Dont worry, dont ruin your rtionship with dad, thats not good. We need to stay calm, calm down Because they were not currently filming scenes involving the female lead, Daisy Zanes filming doubled, working both day and night. She only had time to nap during the short breaks. It was another long night. As she ate the boxed meal from the drama crew, Daisy Zane messaged James Collins, confirming their ns for the evening. Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway both didnte, but in the afternoon, sent over a driver she hadnt seen before. James Collins: [Sister, are you filming tonight?] [Hmm.] James Collins: [I will wait for you outside the set?] [Go to the hotel entrance.] After dinner, Daisy Zane went on with her usual filming schedule, shooting and waiting, until 1 a.m., with another scene still pending. In desperation, Daisy Zane feigned ill. When she asked for leave from the director, her face was pale and her eyes unfocused. The director was nearly scared enough to call an ambnce. In the end, it was Daisy Zane who stopped him, letting the directors assistant help her into the nanny car, saying she would go back to the hotel and get some rest. The past few days had been exceptionally exhausting, one scene after another. More than half the time it was action scenes, and Daisys character required emotional restraint. The pressure, both mental and physical, was bearing down on Daisy Zane, but she never once uttered aint, and she gave each scene her best. Unsatisfied scenes would be reshoot over and over, full cooperation throughout. She didnt at all behave like someone with big backing. She didnt even have an assistant. So the director immediately gave her the day off, letting her go rest. Only George Dunn was left behind to finish his part. Arriving at the hotel, Daisy Zane didnt go in but waited until the driver left. She had James Collinse and pick her up. As the car started, James rolled his eyes at her, Sis, arent you going to change clothes? In thest scene Daisy filmed, she was dressed as a boy, wearing a page boys outfit. Her hair had been tightly coiled up by the stylist and topped with a beret. She left her hat in the nanny car, so her tightly coiled hair was clearly visible. With her hair no longer obscuring her face, her delicacy seemed amplified, making her all the more ravishing. She shrugged off the vest over her shirt, Give me your coatter. Okay. The car drove deep into the mountain and stopped by a dense forest. The two got out of the car, James Collins gave his coat to Daisy Zane first, then picked up a suitcase, and the two walked on foot into the deep mountains. The further they walked, the thicker the trees, the denser the foliage. Completely blocking out the sky, even a drone couldnt see anything beyond the leaves. Both of them walked at a brisk pace, and after almost half an hour, they arrived outside a brick factory. The brick factory was quiterge and was still operating. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on their side was a dense forested hill. A tunnel had been dug under one of the mountains for vehicles and pedestrians to get in and out. Sis, James Collins handed a pair of binocrs to Daisy Zane. The big factory building to the south and the one to the east are suspect. Daisy Zane looked through the binocrs. There were trucks going in and out of the southern factory building. The trucks wererge, and although the back was covered with ck cloth, only two or three boxes were unloaded from each truck. This must be the new batch of elixir. James said, Both of the factory buildings are spotless, with no signs of operation. And theyre guarded tightly, I suspect theres a basement. Their person in charge goes in sometimes and doesnte out for a day. CCTV cameras were everywhere in the brick factory, leaving no blind spots. If they went in, they would be discovered immediately. James Collins had previously snuck into the factory once, after observing it for a while he kept watch on the periphery. Daisy Zane scoped things out for a while, then passed the binocrs to James Collins. While putting on a mask, she said, Ill go down first. Ill go in when Harton rk starts making his move. Sis, be careful. James Collins said. Ill set up my gun here.. Chapter 49 - 49: Red Cliff Village (Part 2) Chapter 49: Red Cliff Vige (Part 2) Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk brought a lot of people this time, obviously nning to use the terrain to catch them all in the open and confront them face to face. It was early in the morning, around three when Kevin rks people started their move. The intense confrontation broke out, and the helicopter circled in the sky as Daisy Zane immediately took the opportunity to avoid the chaos and head to the southern factory building. There were still people guarding the factory, but Daisy Zane easily knocked them out and went straight in. She wanted to leave before Kevin rk arrived. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome. The equipment inside the factory looked brand new, showing no signs of operation. She nced around briefly, stopping at an elevator, but the elevator required a password. No wonder the Sky Rights Bars chaos didnt affect this hidden ce with the brick factory as a cover. Daisy Zane went outside and grabbed someone: Password. I, I dont know. Dont know? Daisy Zane squatted down and looked into his eyes, chuckling softly as a spring knife instantly appeared in her hand, pressing against the artery on his neck, You really dont know? I, I The man crawled to the password input and nervously entered an eighteen-digit password, and the elevator opened. But Daisy Zane didnt n to let him go, dragging him into the elevator with her. The elevator only went down to Lower Level One. Upon arrival, Daisy Zane found a rope to bind the man she had brought in and threw him to one side. Inside was a small warehouse. The area wasnt veryrge, and there were many boxes piled up, some empty and others with sealing tapes on them, marked with dates. Daisy Zane opened a box and took out two bottles of elixir from inside. Thebels on the sealing bottles read: 319(i) She didnt look much further, took two bottles and put them in her clothes pocket, zipping it up. Then she rummaged through the other boxes and found one packed with paper reports. Daisy Zane quickly went through them. All handwritten with several different handwriting styles, clearly records from more than one person. The papers described different peoples reactions to the elixirs, the different symptoms caused by different dosages, and so on providing extensive detail. The further she read, the more startling the information. After going through just one book out of the whole box, Daisy Zane felt a chill down her spine, and her scalp went numb. She hadnt felt like this in a long time. As she was just about to look at the second book, the elevator suddenly opened. She immediately unclipped the book she had in her hands, folded it up, and put it into her pocket. Then she put on the hood of her coat, covering her eyes, and hid behind a stack of paper boxes. After a few footsteps, someone spoke up, Third Master, theres a person tied up here. Someone must have been in here. It was Thomas Firways voice. Daisy Zane couldnt help but fall silent in her heart. Thomas Firway asked the man who had tied him up who it was, but the man didnt answer. However, the footsteps quickly closed in on Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane clenched her fists and, as someone approached, threw a punch. Thomas Firway reacted quickly, avoiding the punch immediately. Daisy Zane didnt give him any time to react, immediately following with a kick. Wearing her well-fitted grey suit pants, her long, straight legs made for a beautiful sidekick. But the damage she could do was immeasurable. Thomas Firway was clearly only able to dodge without attacking. Kevin rk didnt expect Thomas Firway to be at a disadvantage, furrowed his brow as Michael Jackson also came forward. Both of them tangled with Daisy Zane for three minutes. In the end, Daisy Zanended a punch on Thomas Firways shoulder de, controlling the force so as not to cause any real damage, but Thomas Firway immediately fell to the ground and couldnt get up with one hand supporting the ground. As for Michael Jackson, Daisy Zane hit him in the abdomen, and he couldnt get up either. Knocking down two more people, only Kevin rk was left. Daisy Zane thought Kevin rks slim arms and waist would be easy to deal with, but after exchanging only one blow, Daisy Zane cursed softly. Soon after, her wrist was grabbed by Kevin, and with a forceful twist, she found herself pinned against the wall. Kevin did all this in an instant, not giving her a chance to react. He was so fast that, to avoid hitting her head on the wall, she could only brace herself with her hands. As Daisy tried to resist, she heard a cracking sound from her wrist, and then felt a gun pressed against her waist. Dont move. Daisy winced in pain. It was the first time she had heard such a powerful voice from Kevin rk, as if these two words could decide her life or death. Kevin stood behind her, his eyes cold and bloodthirsty, Tell me who you are, or Ill be forced to take action. Daisy stubbornly remained silent. Kevin raised an eyebrow and slowly slid the gun up her spine. Anyone with a weaker psychological condition would have copsed in fear, but Daisy remained steady, her eyes cold and piercing beneath her hat. The gun finally rested on her right shoulder, and Kevin whispered, One slight movement from me, and this bone in your arm will shatter, rendering it useless. Just as he finished speaking, his attention was drawn to the hand he was holding. A womans hand, slender and fair, incredibly beautiful and familiar. His eyshes quivered as he looked at her ring finger. Due to the dislocation of her wrist, she couldnt muster any strength, and he easily spotted the mole on the inside of her finger. Kevin instinctively loosened his grip. Daisy immediately freed herself, turned around, grabbed his gun-holding hand, snatched the weapon away and kicked him as she did so. Her kicknded on his left thigh, making him take a step back. Daisy then pointed the gun at Kevin. Third Master! Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway instantly drew their guns. Kevin nced at Daisy, his eyes narrowed and his smile dangerous, Let her go. Daisy slowly backed into the elevator, pressing the button and closing the doors. Kevin made no further moves. Aftering to their senses, Michael and Thomas said, Third Master, we can notify people to surround her. Let her go. Michael and Thomas exchanged puzzled nces but said nothing more. Kevin nced at the footprint on his pants and gritted his teeth. She really knew how to kick, just a little off At 5 0clock, everyone was arrested, everything was taken away, and the entire brick factory was closed. Third Master, two new drugs are missing, reported Michael. It seems that person took them. Should we investigate? No need. Kevin got into the car, You guys clean up; Ill go back first. Yes. As Kevin drove away, Michael looked at the dejected Thomas, You look so wilted, like a wilted cabbage. Thomas became even more disheartened. Normally, a man with a murderous aura, he now seemed childlike, Brother Michael, in a few months, Ive been beaten twice. How can I live up to the title of Dark Radiances Top Fighter? Michael raised his hand and squeezed Thomas nape, The title is still yours. After all, if you cant beat them, neither can anyone else. Its just that the person is too strong. I could feel that they held back and didnt use their full strength, Thomas said. Michael rubbed his hair again, not saying anything, but his expression clearly conveyed, So you felt it too. After a while, Michael asked, Which of the two was stronger? Thomas responded, The first one. They were like a demon, d in ck and exuding an aura from Hell. They were so fierce that it was almost as if they had Death to whoever I see written all over them. Todays opponent was just better at fighting. Michael patted his shoulder, gazing at the distant mountains. It seemed they were not dealing with the same person. Chapter 50 - 50: Listen, give me your hand Chapter 50: Listen, give me your hand Trantor: 549690339 When the doorbell of the room rang, Daisy Zane got up from the bed and nced at her cell phone; it was not even 6:30 yet. She put on a coat and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, she saw Kevin rk standing outside, with a bag in his hand. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore at the brick factory. Daisy felt a rush of cold air as soon as she opened the door. Seeing her sleepy-eyed, Kevin said gently, Just woke up? Daisy casually brushed her hair with her left hand, stepped aside to let him in, and said, Not yet awake. Kevin came inside and cast a nce at her right hand hanging by her side, her wrist visibly swollen. He ced the breakfast on the table, then washed his hands and sat down on the sofa. Daisy watched his series of actions and sat down on the sofa opposite him, Third Master, is there something wrong? Come here. Huh? Sit here. Neither his voice nor his expression seemed dangerous to Daisy. Hesitating for a moment, she sat down next to him. Whats wrong? Give me your right hand. Arthur said as he reached out his hand. Daisy looked at him without moving; her left hand slowly clenched by her side. Kevin looked at her too. Seeing that she still wasnt moving, he lifted the corner of his mouth and said, Be obedient, give me your hand. Perhaps being bewitched by his voice, Daisy hesitated for a few seconds before finally extending her hand. Arthur held her fingertips as he felt light calluses on them. The calluses formed over the years must have been from more than just handling guns. With his other hand, he pressed on her wrist, causing Daisy to frown slightly. The swelling is quite bad. Arthur frowned, his voice suddenly bing heavier. Daisy looked at her own wrist without saying anything. Without saying much else, Kevin took out two tubes of medicine and a disinfectant cotton swab from his pocket. He broke the cotton swab in half, gently disinfected her wrist, applied a bit of the medicine, and then slowly massaged her hand. His technique was very professional. Bear with it; it might hurt a little. Neither of them spoke any further, and the room was quiet. Kevins expression was serious as he carefully massaged her wrist, his gaze lowered. Meanwhile, Daisys eyes fell on his hand, watching it and thinking about things. She hadnt finished reading the box of paper reports in the South Factory, and she hadnt even seen anything in the East Factory. Since she had been exposed, she could try to learn some information from Kevin. But could she trust him? Kevin applied the other medicine to her wrist, massaged it gently for a while, and then put an anti-swelling and pain-relieving patch on her. Apply the medicine once in the morning and once at night. He said softly, looking at her wrist. Dont exert too much force recently. Okay. Daisy flexed her fingers, and it was indeed much better. Lets eat. They sat down at the dining table, and Kevin opened the breakfast, cing it in front of her. Then he handed her a spoon for her left hand. Daisy took the spoon and ate a couple of bites of porridge. Kevin picked up some side dishes and ced them in her spoon. Daisy nced at him and ate it. After that, it was a bite of porridge for Daisy and a chopstick full of side dishes from Kevin. I can eat by myself. Daisy said. Eat light meals recently. Kevin said as he picked up another side dish and ced it in her spoon. After unsessfully trying to deter him, Daisy let him continue. By the end of the meal, she felt like Kevin must view her as handicapped. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Kevin was about to leave. And it didnt seem like he wanted to ask her anything. It was as if he had juste to apply medicine to her wound and bring her food. Do you have a shooting schedule this morning? No, Daisy replied, the director gave me half a day off. This director is a bit stingy, giving half days off like this. Kevin joked, Why dont you take a few days off for a break? No need. This answer was within Kevins expectation. He sighed in his heart and reminded her, Dont use too much force with your hand, remember? Daisy Zane nodded and walked him to the door. Kevin rk opened the door, stepped outside, then turned and tousled Daisys hair. Sleep a little longer. Ill visit the set in a couple of days. Okay. After closing the door, Daisys expression immediately turned cold. She touched her right wrist, thinking about Kevin rks face. Maybe she could really take advantage of Kevin rk. Daisy, you should find an assistant. Hill Dawson spoke to Daisy Zane on the phone, I really cant get away from things here. Yean, Ill consider lt. Daisy Zane was taking a break on tne movie set, kicking a small stone by her feet. She noticed someone approaching out of the corner of her eye and looked up. It was Serena Buster. Looking elsewhere, Serena held a small folding stool in her hand, sneaking towards Daisy one step at a time. Be careful and stay warm. The weather is getting colder these days. Wear moreyers and dont catch a cold. Hill Dawson didnt show up in person, but he called almost every two days, giving a lot of advice. Okay. By the way, I found a good script, Ill send it to you to take a look. said Hill Dawson. Okay. They chatted for a bit before hanging up. Then Daisy looked at Serena Buster, who had already taken a seat beside her. Feeling her gaze, Serena looked up at her and gave her a sweet smile. Daisy looked at her without much reaction for a while, then said, Youve gained some weight. l!! I did not! Serena immediately covered her face, her voice bing weaker, I just gained two pounds. Well, its pretty obvious. What are you doing here? Daisy asked. Serena looked at her andined, Daisy Zane, its a good thing youre not a guy. Otherwise, with your attitude, youd be single for life. Daisy: I have a scene to film today, so I was waiting here. Serena picked up a stone and yed with it in her hand. I am pretty idle. How about I be your assistant? No thanks, I cant afford it. Serena pouted and whispered, Youre not really out of money. Daisy heard her, although her voice was low. She stared at her and after a while, got up and said, Follow me. What for? Daisy ignored her and walked away. Dumbfounded, Serena followed her. The director had just finished filming a scene and was discussing the next one with George Dunn. Daisy stood aside waiting, not interrupting them. It took nearly 5 minutes for the director to notice Daisy, Daisy, you need something? Daisy walked over and asked, Director Nash, has the female lead been decided? The director rubbed his messy hair and frowned, Weve looked at a few people, but theyre all booked. Still searching. Daisy pointed to Serena, who was not far behind her, Why not give her a shot? Both the director and George Dunn nced over, and Serena stepped back in fright. Come here. Daisy said. Swallowing hard, Serena quickly walked over and stood next to Daisy, Best Actor Dunn, Director, hello. Director Nash scanned Serena, Isnt she one of our drama crew members? I think Ive seen her before. Yes, Director, said Serena, I y Mia Flores, the girl who got killed for sending a telegram. Shes got too sweet of a face, the director said, It doesnt fit the character of the female lead. Staring as wide as brass bells, Serena could hardly believe what she was hearing. Female lead? What female lead? And what was Daisy going to do? Daisy said, If theres time, you can let her try a scene. Actually, the director had already dismissed her in his heart, but Daisys words were so convincing that he began to waver. Why not let her try, just one scene. It wont be much of a dy anyway. George Dunn suddenly suggested. Alright then. The director flipped through the script lying nearby and handed it to Serena, Practice this scene, learn the lines.. Chapter 51 - 51: Best Actor Dunn is a Fool Chapter 51: Best Actor Dunn is a Fool Trantor: 549690339 When Serena Buster picked up the script, her hands were shaking. She deliberately nced at Daisy Zane. But Daisy didnt look at her, she was just looking at the equipment nearby. During the script reading, Serena was always by Lilian Lopezs side, sometimes even helping her with her lines. So although she didnt remember the Female Leads lines, she had a general idea about them. She quickly memorized the lines for this scene. Before the audition, Daisy, who had been silent all along, came over to Serena and said, In tms drama crew, youve been witn Lilian Lopez tor so long, you should understand this character. Serena licked her dry lips, Im a little nervous. Imagine your opponent is Lilian Lopez. Daisy said casually, half-closing her eyes. Serena bit her lip and went to the director, returning the script. This scene was about the Female Lead capturing the murderer who killed Riley Maxwell, torturing him like a madwoman, venting all her longing and hatred on him. It was quite a test of explosive power. The directors assistant acted opposite her. Serena was very nervous, but her mind was very clear. This was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance that might nevere again. She had to seize it. She had originally given up her position to join the drama crew as an extra. Over the years, she had supported herself by taking on temporary jobs, without even having any insurance. She pinched herself hard in the palm of her hand, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, it was as if she had be a different person: You deserve to die! The director, who was flipping through the script, suddenly looked up at Serena when he heard her shout. Serenas eyes were filled with hatred, and her expression was even a little twisted: When you reported my sister back then and pushed her to a dead end, did you ever think that you would have today! Serenas emotions were very full, and her line delivery was quite good. The directors eyes widened. Even George Dunn was pleasantly surprised. When the scene was over, the director stood up and stared at Serena. At first, Serena was very nervous, but seeing the directors reaction, she suddenly wanted tough. Cough, Director Nash. George Dunn reminded him from the side. The director came to his senses and looked for his cell phone: My phone, where is my phone! The assistant immediately handed over the cell phone. The director hurriedly sent a video message to the screenwriter, then asked Serena to perform again. Having gone through it once, the second time was even better than the first. Then the director and screenwriter fell into deep thought, facing each other through a video call. No one spoke, and Serena started to get nervous again. As time went on, her face even began to turn pale. Daisy stood by for a while, then looked at George Dunn and raised her eyes to him. Although she didnt say anything, George Dunn saw from her eyes that she meant: You should cough now. George Dunn was speechless, but still coughed. The director and screenwriter came to their senses. The screenwriter said, Shes not quite like the Female Lead I imagined. When Serena heard this, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She felt a chill through her heart, and her face sagged. But she seems more suitable for the role. The director added the second half of the sentence. The screenwriter nodded in the video. Serenas icy heart began to warm up slowly. Where did you find her? The screenwriter asked. The director suddenly looked at Daisy, and she said, The main reason for Scarlett Maxwells cold character is the influence of Riley Maxwell. Whether its Rileys death or the strong, independent image that Riley left for her. The director looked at her with an expression that seemed to be on the verge of an epiphany but not quite there yet. Scarlett grew up in Rileys shadow, but she is not her. Daisy continued, So, having a sweeter appearance and contrasting with Riley, but with a cold personality and ruthless methods, wouldnt it better showcase the characters image and the characters experience when theres a big contrast between the inside and outside? George Dunn looked at Daisy and squinted his eyes. Not only did her voice sound simr, but her grasp of the characters was also very simr. The screenwriter sighed: Yes, yes, youre right. I made the character too rigid. This way is more true-to-life and fitting, and highlights conflict. Daisy, thank you so much. No problem. I just thought shed be a good fit after seeing her, Daisy Zane said, Ill be leaving then. Alright, you go get some rest, the director said excitedly, This is a big favor youve done for us. Daisy went back to where she had been resting earlier and read the script Hill Dawson had sent her. She had barely read two pages, when someone sat down on the folding stool beside her. Daisy raised her eyes to look at George Dunn before lowering her head to continue reading the script. Riley, youve heard of the screenwriter Flynn Ninevara, right? George said. Daisy didnt want to talk about this subject but thought that they still have a lot of scenes to film together, so she just hummed in response. Your voice actually sounds a lot like hers, George said, and your deep understanding of the characters is also quite simr. I always feel like you two would get along great. Oh, really? What if we are the same person? Daisy said. Hahaha, Riley, youre really in sync with her, even your jokes are the same, George, such a famous actor, wore expensive clothes but sat on a small stool and appeared very down-to-earth. For her next script, Ill introduce you to her. Im sure you two will have a great time chatting. Daisy raised her head and looked at him, remaining silent for a while. She remembered what he had said before: If you were standing in front of me, Id surely recognize you at once. She was curious about what gave him such confidence. Well, then Thank you in advance, Best Actor Dunn. Daisy forced herself to smile politely. Great. So thats settled. George was in a great mood, stood up and said, Im going to rest over there now. Take your time, Best Actor Dunn. As George walked barely five meters away, Daisy received a message from him. NIAN: [Catherine, I found a great actor for you. Shes got great acting skills, insightful, and is incredibly beautiful. Youll absolutely love her, praise me!] Daisy looked at the message, gripping her cellphone, and grinding her teeth. She not only wanted to open Georges head to see if there was something missing inside but also return to a few years ago to check her own head and figure out what she saw in this idiot! After they finished filming the scenes for the morning, they still had two more in the afternoon. At noon, the drama crew was about to have lunch. Daisy was about to grab her boxed meal when she got a phone call from Harton rk. Whats up? Have you eaten? Harton asked. Im waiting to get my boxed meal. Im by the nanny car, I brought you food. Want toe over and eat? Okay. Daisy turned around and walked towards the nanny car. Iming. When Daisy arrived, Harton was standing by the nanny car, holding two food boxes in his hands. Hearing her footsteps, Harton turned around to look at her. His smiling eyes froze for a moment before he raised his eyebrows. Today, Daisy was wearing a very vintage light blue dress, her hair curled in big waves, and a white veil on her head. She looked stunning. Seeing his expression, Daisy said, I still have scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so theres no time to change. You look beautiful, Harton sincerely praised. Daisy smiled, opened the car door, and said, Get in. You first. Daisy didnt stand on ceremony, picked up her skirt with one hand and stepped into the car. She was wearing high heels, but her movements were swift. Harton wanted to help her, but didnt find the opportunity.. Chapter 52 - 52: Come Rest at My Place Chapter 52: Come Rest at My ce Trantor: 549690339 The two of them sat in the nanny car. Kevin rk arranged the food boxesyer byyer on the tableboard. There were fish, meat, shrimp, soup, and even cut fruits, including grapes peeled off. Give me your hand, I want to check it. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane extended her hand to him, nced at his eyes to find that the corners of his eyes were once again reddened. He hadnt got a good rest. Kevin rk held her wrist and pressed it. The swelling had subsided significantly: Does it still hurt? No pain. Daisy Zane replied, holding a fork in her left hand, and ate a grape. Kevin rk nced at her, doubting her two-word response: You still need to apply the medicine. Hmm. He didnt quite believe her, so he added: I will remind you when its time. Daisy Zane chewed the grapes in her mouth slowly, looking at Kevin rk. Normally, she wouldnt care much about such a slight injury. Its just that she didnt care much when Kevin rk told her to apply the medicine twice a day, morning and night. Kevin rk seemed to see through her thoughts, so that night, he called her exactly at eight oclock to remind her to take the medicine. Daisy Zane agreed, but Kevin rk insisted on waiting until she finished applying the medicine before hanging up the phone. That night, it took her more than ten minutes to find the two tubes of ointment, which finally turned up in theundry basket. She didnt notice when she was sorting out the clothes, and the tubes of medicine were tossed inside with the clothes. After that day, Kevin rk started to video call her promptly at eight, morning and night, watching her apply the medicine. Is the grape sweet? Kevin rk put his hand back on her leg. Hmm. Kevin rk gave a small smile and handed her the chopsticks: Eat first. Daisy Zane took the chopsticks, took a bite of her meal, and after swallowing, she asked, Are you done with work? Not yet. Kevin rk carefully removed the fish bones for her. Hearing her question, the corners of his mouth slightly turned upward, In two days time, I have managed to interrogate the arrested persons around the clock. However, no valuable information has been obtained. Daisy Zane paused her hand for a moment, she didnt expect him to share so much with her. Kevin rk put some vegetables on her te and continued, On that night at the brick factory, a total of six trucks unloaded fourteen boxes of goods. The six drivers who were responsible for the transportation came from six different viges, and they did not know each other. Daisy Zane frowned slightly. Eat your meal while listening, otherwise it will get cold. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane put the fish in her mouth and chewed slowly. ording to their ount, three years ago, someone suddenly came to their vige and contacted them. They were told to wait in the vige. If someone came to them with a truck, they would drive the truck to a designated location. Kevin rk said. And once theypleted a trip, they would be rewarded 50,000 USD. Did you check their vige? Yes. Kevin rk put on disposable gloves and started to peel the shrimp. All six viges were investigated. They are all at the same economic level and have no surveince systems. After inquiring around, the vigers could not provide any unusual information. The only thing they knew was that the household responsible for the transport business was quite wealthy. Its normal for the countryside tock surveince systems, and for them to have a transport business. Moreover, no one would pay much attention if an extra truckes or goes in the vige what about the license te number of the truck? Daisy Zane said. There was no license te number. Kevin rk replied. ording to their ounts, when the truck was handed to them, it had no license te number. Furthermore, these six viges and Red Cliff vige are connected through small and even dirt paths. There were not only no CCTV cameras, but there were also no traffic lights on the roads. Its their painstaking efforts to carefully select, n, and deploy. Daisy Zane said with a cold voice. There is only so much they confessed. Kevin rk said, Currently, it seems that the only thing that can be done is to keep investigating. Before that batch of goods got into their hands, it must have passed through countless hands, turned over numerous locations and viges. Daisy Zane poked at the rice in her bowl. Who knows how many more groups of six people like them are out there handlingyer afteryer of work, and how many more locations are there like Red Cliff Vige. It would take forever to wait for a thorough investigation. Kevin rk looked at her. Daisy Zane was very rational with clear logic. This rationality of hers gave him an extreme sense of feeling that it was as if she was emotionless. Daisy looked up at him, their eyes meeting. Kevins eyebrows rose slightly, he looked at her openly, a smile in his eyes, appearing to be full of interest in her. After a few seconds of their gaze locking, Daisy shifted her gaze and asked, Where are the others? I saw a box of reports in the basement, who wrote them? This honest? Kevinughed. Not really. Daisy met his eyes again, You discovered it yourself. Kevin rkughed again, but there was no amusement in his gaze; His nce skipped over her wrist and he said, A group specifically recording reactions to the drug injection. They have some medical background, all of them are risk-takers who value money over their lives. They are obedient and dont know anything. Daisy lowered her gaze to her food and did not speak again. Those reports were about to be transported away, but they were just intercepted, Kevin said, Would you like to take a look? I will let them submit them in a few days. Daisy raised her head to look at him, obviously scrutinizing him. But Kevin just met her gaze openly, calm as ever. After a while, Daisy stated directly, I need to adjust the schedule with the director. Um. Kevin said, Let me know when youve settled the schedule, I will pick you up. As the female lead was finally established, Serena Buster signed a contract at the fastest speed and started filming. To make up for the scenes of the female lead, Daisy had to work through the night; after that, the director gave her a break. To put it nicely, they were letting her rest, but not so nicely, they were rushing to film the female leads scenes, so she was not needed anymore. So, Daisy returned to Truro City the morning after filming had wrapped up. She left at 8 0clock in the morning, it was a little over four-hour drive, but she was stuck in traffic for two hours. By the time she arrived at Evesting Pce, it was already past three in the afternoon. Exiting the elevator, Daisy stood at the entrance of her door trying her fingerprint to unlock it. It didnt open even after trying three times. Then she tried the password, but the password was incorrect. Daisy: She pressed the doorbell twice, no one answered from her side of the house, but there was the sound of a door opening from across the hall. Daisy turned around. Kevin, in his house clothes, looked somewhat surprised to see her, and lightly teased, Whats up, cant get into your own house? Daisy removed her mask and pulled out her cell phone, saying, James Collins deleted my fingerprint and changed the password. Kevin kept a straight face as he pursed his lips, realizing the man had really made himself at home. He walked closer and asked, Isnt heing back tomorrow? Yes, one of the scenes got canceled, and I came back early. Daisy said and then dialed James Collinss number. James answered the phone rather quickly which allowed Kevin to hear him excitedly yell Sister on the other end. But Daisy tried the new password James gave her three times, and it was wrong each time. James. Daisy lightly called his name. Sister, sister, calm down, Ill think, Ill think about it. James exined, I was drunk that night, I cant remember it very well. Let me think. Then James gave her another set of numbers, and even after Daisy input them, it was still incorrect. As the incorrect password prompt entered the phone, Jamess heart went cold. Before Daisy said anything, he conceded, Sister! I was wrong! Wrong! I really Where are you? The question was cold and resonant. I am not in Truro City. Daisy immediately hung up the phone. Kevin was standing not far behind her, a slight smile crept onto his face. He picked up her suitcase and gently said, Come to my ce first, rest for a while. Suppressing the urge to kick the door, Daisy took a light breath and replied, Sure.. Chapter 53 - 53: I am Jealous Chapter 53: I am Jealous Trantor: 549690339 Kevin had visited Arthurs residence once before, and theyout was generally simr to hers. However, she was unsure whether it was due to the scent of Eaglewood or Arthurs personal temperament. She always felt there was a refined and antiquated atmosphere on her side. At the entrance, Arthur ced a pair of white, fluffy cotton slippers for her, which were dedicated to women. Daisy looked at him questioningly. Arthur smiled, Its getting cold, wear these to keep warm. Daisy didnt say anything and bent down to change into the slippers. As they entered the living room, Arthur looked at her fair ankles and the fluffy cotton slippers on her feet, and lifted his eyebrows in good spirits. Just as he had imagined, she looked just as beautiful and adorable. Daisy sat down on the sofa, and Arthur poured her a cup of warm water before sitting down on a nearby single sofa, Resting for a few days? Five days. Daisy nced at the incense burner on the tea table. It was a valuable antique. The scent of Eaglewood made her feel even more at ease than when she was at her own ce. Yeah, you can have a good rest. Didnt you go out today? Daisy looked at the home clothes he was wearing, which appeared slightly more leisurely than usual. I came back around eleven, and took a nap. Arthur said, I just woke up when I heard your doorbell. Daisy leaned back in the sofa, rxing her posture. She took a sip of her water and asked, Are you going to sleep some more? Arthur immediately realized what she wanted to do and instead of answering, he asked, Have you eaten lunch? Yeah, I ate on the way. Alright. Arthur stood up, Im going to change my clothes, wait for me. Daisy nodded. Soon, Arthur came out dressed. Arthurs clothes were simple, mostly consisting of suits and shirts in ck. The colors were monotonous, but the styles were diverse. He wore a ck shirt and carried a suit jacket in his hand, Lets go. Alright. The two left together, and Arthur drove them straight to the police station. Before arriving at the station, Arthur made a call. When they got there, a man named William led them directly to a room. The room was quite empty, with only a desk and a few chairs, and nothing else. It looked clean but underused. Soon after entering the room, several people brought in a few boxes. Daisy recognized one of them as containing paper reports. When the others left the room, only the two of them remained. Arthur pulled out a chair in front of the desk and said, Lucia, sit here and take a look. Okay. These are all? Yeah, Arthur said, Theres also a basement under the East Side Factory. They were doing some reaction research inside. The rest of these boxes were found there. Daisys eyes darkened at his words. The two sat side by side at the table, separated by half an arms length. It was very quiet in the room, with no one talking, and the only sounds were the flipping of pages and their quiet breathing. Daisy looked at the documents very intently, as if wanting to etch every word into her mind. As she read, she felt a chill deep in her heart, and her hands and feet turned ice cold. From four oclock in the afternoon until nine at night, she finally finished reading everything. During that time, Daisy hardly moved, not even going to the restroom. Except for turning on the light once, Arthur had been by her side all along without disturbing her. Did you find anything? Arthur asked. Yes. Daisy tidied up thest report in her hands, speaking calmly, The man behind all this is an unprecedented psychopath. Perhaps it was because she hadnt spoken for a long time, her voice was slightly hoarse. Kevin rk unscrewed the thermos cup he had brought from home and ced it next to her. These reports filled him with fear as he read them. But Daisy Zane, a little girl in her twenties, read through them all calmly and steadily from beginning to end. Her emotions didnt even waver much. What kind of experiences could harden and numb a persons heart like this? Yes, numb. It was a numbness formed by experiencing extreme breakdowns, cold as ice. After leaving the police station, they had dinner together and returned to the Evesting Pce. When the elevator opened, Daisy Zane remembered that she still couldnt get into her home. Standing in the porch, Daisy Zane looked at her door without moving. Its toote. Lets find a locksmith tomorrow, said Kevin rk, You can stay at my ce for now. Daisy turned to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards his ce. Kevin rk followed behind her, his head down and his lips curving in a slight smile. Back at their quarters, Kevin rk went to the kitchen to wash some fruit and ced it on the tea table. He told Daisy Zane to sit on the sofa for a while as he went back to his room to tidy up. Almost half an hour had passed before he emerged from his room with some clothes and went to the guest room. Coming out of the guest room, he took Daisy Zanes suitcase to the master bedroom, Ive changed the sheets and covers, you can stay here. I can stay in the guest room, Daisy Zane stood up and followed him. No way, Kevin rk put the suitcase at the entrance of the master bedroom without going inside, Allonzo Hobson slept in the guest room. Daisy leaned against the door frame, smiling at him. Seeing her smile made Kevin rks fingers itch. Im jealous, he calmly confessed. Daisys smile deepened, and she even let out a quietugh. After watching herugh for a bit, Kevin rk raised his hand and tapped the top of her head, Go to sleep early. Okay, Daisy straightened up. The towels, bath towels, and toothbrushes in the restroom are all new, Kevin rk said, Is there anything else you need? Daisy thought for a moment and said, Lend me some pajamas. She had everything she needed at home, so her suitcase was filled with some out-of-season clothes and herputer. But she didnt expect to be unable to enter her own home. Kevin rk walked into the room, opened the wardrobe, and said, These are all new, never worn; help yourself. Thanks. The night before she had spent almost the entire night filming, and she didnt get much rest at the hotel, leaving at eight in the morning. Although it was a six-hour journey, she hardly rested. As soon as she returned to Truro City, she spent several more hours reviewing the reports. So, after taking a bath, Daisy fell asleep as soon as shey down on the bed. But suddenly, she woke up around 1 a.m. The lights in her room were off, and the curtains were only half drawn. The cold moonlight seemed to carry a hint of chill as it spilled into the room. Daisys phoenix eyes snapped open, filled with icy fury. It was like a sudden blizzard, threatening to tear a hole in the darkness. She paused for a moment and then switched on the bedside light. The darkness retreated, and Daisy leaned against the head of the bed. Her hair was loose, her face slightly sweaty, and a few strands of hair clung to her face. Apart from the red bloodshot eyes, a closer look revealed some moisture in her eyes. The scenes from her dreams were like a movie, reying frame by frame in her head. The effects of the elixir were also itemized in her mind. Convulsions, self-harm, loss of consciousness, hallucinations, pain like ants gnawing at her heart, and even obedient,mand-following reactions. Chapter 54 - 54: Am I a Good Person? Chapter 54: Am I a Good Person? Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk hadnt gone to sleep, and was in the study dealing with some matters. When he heard the sound of the door of the master bedroom opening, he thought that Daisy Zane hade out to get some water to drink. But he hadnt heard the sound of her going back. So he came out to check. The living room light was not on, Daisy Zane was sitting on the carpet next to the sofa, and a lit candle was ced on the tea table. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated a small circle, struggling against the darkness. Warm and tranquil. Hearing the movement, Daisy Zane turned her head and saw Kevins figure said, Havent slept yet? Mm. Kevin replied softly. As he approached, he noticed that Daisy was holding an ash leveler, and there was an incense burner on the tea table, she was leveling the ash inside. His home clothes looked too big on Daisy Zane, both the pant legs and sleeves were rolled up, making her seem smaller than usual. The candlelight on her face faded a little from her usual aloofness. Kevin sat down on the sofa, keeping an appropriate distance from her. Daisy continued to level the ash. She rotated the incense burner with one hand while the other held the ash leveler, gently smoothing the white incense ash inside. Her technique was not only professional but also very skilled. She said, I couldnt smell the scent of Eaglewood in the bedroom anymore, so I came out and tampered with your things, wanting to make a new one. Help yourself to anything at home, Kevins voice grew gentler. Daisy Zane didnt respond, the incense burner, the bottle of incense powder, and the candlestick were all antiques. The rest, whether it was the incense spoon, incense shovel, incense cleaner, incense seal, or the ash leveler in her hand, were all pure gold. If she wasnt really restless, she certainly wouldnt touch them. Do you like the scent of Eaglewood? Kevin noticed some fine sweat on her forehead. Mm, it smells really good, Daisy picked up the incense cleaner, brushed the ash on the wall of the incense burner, and then picked up the ash leveler to level the ash again. Not only did the scent of Eaglewood calm the mind, but the process of making the incense seal also cleared the soul. After leveling the ash. Daisy Zane took the incense seal mold and ced it on the incense ash. She then picked up the incense spoon, opened the incense bottle, and scooped the incense powder onto the seal mold spoonful by spoonful. She filled the mold with the incense shovel and reced the excess incense powder. She turned the spoon handle to tap on the seal mold, picked it up, and a perfect incense seal was made. Afterward, Daisy took a thread of incense and lit it on the candle. She used the thread incense to light the incense seal in the burner and put the lid on. Light smoke drifted slowly. In the end, she put everything back in its original ce. Throughout the process, Kevin watched her. Nowadays, very few people could do this, as most young people preferred to use perfumes and aromatherapy instead. Not to mention Allonzo Hobson, even his elder brother, who was in his fifties, scolded him as old-fashioned and not minding his business when he saw him fiddling with these things. He didnt expect Daisy to know how, and her technique was very skilled, definitely not something she just learned. Cant you sleep? Kevin asked. Daisy Zane propped her elbow on the tea table, her hand supporting her forehead: Third Master can take the pulse, and should be able to do acupuncture too. Can you put me in aa with a single needle? Do you need that? Kevin raised his eyebrows. Daisy raised hers too, got up and sat down on the sofa, her voice soft, Never mind. I cant trust you enough in such a situation with a man and a woman alone. Kevin clenched his teeth, and finally couldnt bear any resentment saying, Fine. I have a bad image in Daisys heart. A hint of a smile appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes as she leaned back on the sofa. Both of them were silent for a while, Daisy Zane watching the light smoke drifting from the incense burner, while Kevin looked at the candle on the tea table. After a while, Kevin looked at Daisy and asked, Do you want to go back and sleep? Do you have any books? Daisy looked at him. Yes, what do you want to read? Ill go get it. Anything is fine, preferably in English, Daisy Zane said, English is easier to get sleepy with. So thats how it is. Kevin rk chuckled and went to the study. After a while, he came out with a few books: Would poetry collections do? Mhm, theyll make me fall asleep faster. Daisy Zane reached out to take them, but Kevin didnt hand them over, instead cing them on the tea table. Ill read them to you, Kevin said. Daisy was stunned for a moment and asked, Arent you going to sleep? Ill sleep after you do. Daisy raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of meaning. Get up for a second, Ill pull out the sofa, Kevin said, Ill read to you right here, and if you get sleepy, you can sleep on it. On the side, we can test whether Im a good person or not. Daisy looked at him but didnt move. She crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa with her elbow, her hand propped up against her foreheada rather cool pose. Seeing her not moving, Kevin slightly leaned in, closing the distance between them: Daisy, do you dare? The two stared at each other, one like clear snow, the other like a blood moon. After a moment, Daisy averted her gaze and stood up: Pull it. Her tone was a bit fierce. Kevin stood straight, chuckled, and then pulled out the sofa. Although it wasnt as big as a bed, it would surely befortable enough for a nights sleep. Daisy leaned back on the half-shortened sofa back, her legs straightenedfortably on the extended sofa. Kevin fetched a quilt and gently ced it over Daisy. He also brought a cushion for her: Put it under your waist. Hm? Daisy adjusted the quilt on herself. Doesnt it feel ufortable hanging your waist like that? Kevin sat on the edge of the sofa, picked up the poetry collection, and flipped through it. He had seen her leaning on the sofa with her waist suspended when he left his room earlier. Despite the loose home clothes, he could sense that her small waist was slim and soft. He dared not look at it again after a nce. My waist is fine. Daisy casually ced the cushion under her waist, her tone light and coldas if it wasnt a big deal. However, Kevins hand holding the book suddenly tightened, leaving fingerprints on its pages. He closed his eyes and took a light breath. When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse: Ill begin. Mhm. Daisy found afortable position. When Day Is Done. If the day is done, If birds sing no more Daisy turned her head to look at him. In the candlelight, his face looked even more enchanting, as if it were coated with an intense glow. She had always thought that Kevins voice was the most pleasant she had ever heard. It was a bit low, carrying a touch of his unique Beijing ent, yet very clear. A very regal voice. After a while, Daisy closed her eyes. Smelling the scent of eaglewood and listening to Kevins voice, she fell asleep quickly. Kevin read for a long time, his voice slow, until he was sure that Daisy had entered deep sleep. Only then did he put the book on the tea table, gently got up, and slowly lowered the back of the sofa a bit. Afterward, he covered her with the quilt again. Kevins home clothes were quite big, and when Daisy wore them, the cor leaned to the left, revealing her beautiful corbone. Now it leaned to the right. As Kevin covered her with the quilt, his gaze moved from her face, inadvertently falling on her cor. He saw the red scar on her corbone. Because of the clothing, he could only see a small part of it. There were three of them, varying in length, as if something had scratched her. Kevins gaze paused for a moment, then moved back to Daisys face. After quietly watching her for some time, he went to the study and got hisputer, then sat in the chair by the French window. He worked while keeping an eye on Daisy from a distance.. Chapter 55 - 55: Seeing Johanes Miles Again Chapter 55: Seeing Johanes Miles Again Trantor: 549690339 When Arthur North came out of the study, he saw the fine sweat on Daisy Zanes forehead. He also sensed her low pressure and turbulent temperament she was trying to suppress. He thought she must have had a nightmare and couldnt sleep, which was why she came out. So he didnt go back to his room. After finishing his work, he sat and dozed off on the chair by the French window. Luckily, Daisy Zane slept peacefully after falling asleep and only stirred a few times. From leaning on the sofa, she graduallyy on her side on the sofa, and then curled up, leaving only a bunch of hair outside. She slept very soundly, and she heard Arthur Norths light footsteps several times, but she didnt wake up knowing it was him in her subconsciousness. Almost 9 0clock, there were two wrong password inputs from the door outside. Daisy Zane opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the living room entrance. Awake? Arthur North walked over from the French window. Daisy Zane looked back at him and stared at the redness at the corner of his eyes for two seconds. Didnt you sleepst night? Arthur North poured her a ss of water and put it on the tea table. Dealt with some matters. Theres someone outside the door. No sooner had the words been spoken than Arthur Norths cell phone rang. He answered the call and directly said, Wait outside for a while. No, howe you changed the password? Allonzo Hobson finished speaking, suddenly fell silent for two seconds, then excitedly said, Holy shit! Arthur! Youre hiding your girlfriend! Youve finally done the deed! The voice was really loud, not onlying out of the cell phone but alsoing in from the entrance. Daisy Zane looked at Arthur Norths sudden speechless expression, raised her eyebrows in a drowsy manner, and then took the quilt and went straight back to her room. She didnt even wear her slippers, just went barefooted. Seeing her indifferent expression, Arthur North felt relieved, hung up the phone directly, and put the slippers at the master bedroom door. He knocked on the door and said, Daisy,e out and put on your shoes. After two seconds, Daisy Zane opened the door and put on her shoes. Arthur North smoothed the somewhat messy strands of hair on her head and said, Wash up, well go out to eat. Mm. After Daisy Zane finished washing and changing her clothes, the two were ready to leave. When they opened the door, Allonzo Hobson was still waiting outside. Arthur, you finally remembered me, as soon as youid eyes on Allonzo Hobson began toin when he heard the door sound but suddenly closed his mouth when he saw Daisy Zane, Lady Zane is here too. Young Master Hobson. Daisy Zane greeted him with a smile. But Allonzo Hobson looked at her smile and suddenly shivered from the bottom of his heart: Lady Zane. Daisy Zane nced at him casually, then after two seconds said, I just found out today that Young Master Hobson actually has a problem with his speech. Allonzo Hobson was stunned. In his memory, Daisy Zane didnt talk that much. He looked at Arthur North. But Arthur North was smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking amused. I, I dont have. Saying he didnt have it, he stuttered a bit. Daisy Zane looked at him, her expression clearly saying, You see, every sentence you stutter, and you say you dont have. I really dont have. Young Master Hobson, dont hide from the doctor out of fear, dying too long is not good. Daisy Zane said indifferently, Young Master Hobson is 28 years old and still has no girlfriend and has such an illness. Im afraid Arthur North burst outughing. The little girl really held a grudge, her words hitting right where it hurt. Allonzo Hobson suddenly understood why he had been targeted. It must have been because Daisy Zane heard his phone call earlier. He looked at Arthur North. Arthur North cleared his throat. Hmm, Lucia is right. Allonzo Hobsons eyes almost popped out. His gaze conveyed: Youre 28 too, what are youughing at? Arthur North raised an eyebrow, and his expression clearly said: Im not the same as you. Then he and Daisy Zane entered the elevator, and Allonzo Hobson stood outside watching the two. Daisy Zane had no expression, very indifferent. It was Arthur North who had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Allonzo Hobson suddenly thought of a phrase in his mind: They are really fucking scheming, not entering the same family without being rted, these two are a perfect match. Elevator was about to close when he reached out and stopped it: Where are you going? To eat. Allonzo Hobson also got in the elevator: I havent eaten either, lets go together. You two are teaming up against me, and you still want to have dinner alone and enjoy time just for yourselves, not a chance! Kevin rk didnt bother with him and just took him along. But after a meal, Allonzo Hobson knew why Kevin rk brought him along. Its because he wasnt even treated like a person. The whole meal, Third Master rk was tying her hair with a small hairband, heating up utensils for her, and serving dishes; he was practically feeding her food directly into her mouth. Allonzo Hobson felt like he was dying from their excessive disy of affection. He should not havee. He didnt know this guy had this kind of character before. After the meal and leaving the Doomsday Hotel, Daisy Zanes cell phone rang. She took it out and saw it was a call from John Anderson. She picked up the call and hung up after saying uh-huh twice. Then she said to Kevin rk: Im going to thepany. Ill drop you off on the way. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane looked at him. Kevin rk smiled and said, Really, its on the way. Im going to take care of something over there. John Anderson arranged to meet at the cafe downstairs of the Maple Elite Entertainment. He didnt mention the specifics, only that he wanted to see her. Daisy Zane thought it might not be that simple. As she expected, when she entered the cafe and went to the second floor to find the reserved seat, she saw Johanes Miles and an unknown man sitting there. He was wearing a well-tailored gray suit, looking to be in his twenties, with an expensive watch on his wrist. He had a handsome face, but there was a hint of rascality and debauchery in his eyes. Waiter: This way, please. Probably hearing the waiters voice, Johanes Miles and the man both looked over. Johanes squeezed out a kindly smile: Lucia, over here. The man also gave a smile, his eyes unabashedly looking her up and down. Today, Daisy Zane was wearing a skirt. On top, she had a light purple chiffon blouse, and underneath, was a matching long light purple skirt that reached her ankles. Her shoes were white casual shoes, with long socks covering her legs. Now that the weather was cold, Kevin rk didnt stop her from wearing a skirt when they left. But, he let her wear long socks to protect her ankles. Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, her eyes indifferent, and in her heart, she understood. The man was sitting across from Johanes Miles, and they had connected soft seats on both sides. As she walked over, she pulled a chair from a nearby table and ced it next to the table without sitting close to either of them. Whats up? Lucia. Johanes Miles was irritated by her cold voice but still introduced with a smile, Let me introduce you, this is Liam Davis from the Davis Corporation. Liam Davis stood up and gentlemanly reached out his hand to her: Lady Zane, how are you. Daisy Zane looked at him, her gaze falling on his face, then his hand, and then she didnt move. Lucia. Johanes Miles called her name from the side. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, adjusting her cuff, and said indifferently: Hello. Seeing her reaction, Liam Davisughed, rxed his hand, and sat back down. Johanes Miles smiled apologetically: Sorry, she just came here not long ago, and shes still not used to it. I understand. Liam Davis called the waiter over and asked, Lady Zane, what would you like to drink? Iced Americano. Daisy Zane paused and said, Make it a hot Americano. Alright, please wait a moment. In the future, when its cold, dont drink iced beverages. Johanes Miles said with a concerned tone. Daisy Zane finally looked at him directly and let out a soft chuckle: Mr.. Miles, isnt it a littlete for you to y the caring father? Chapter 56 - 56: This is…gold, isn’t it? Chapter 56: This isgold, isnt it? Trantor: 549690339 They chose seats by the window, and from Daisys position, she could see the pedestrians and vehicles outside through the ss. After telling Johanes that, his face turned pale. It wasnt until the waiter brought the coffee and said, Please enjoy, that Johanes slightly recovered and said in a low voice, Daisy, I admit I was wrong all these years, and I have been trying to make it up to you. I said that if you really want to make it up to me, you should give me a share of what Amelia has. Daisy stirred her coffee slowly, her expression indifferent, Thats not too much to ask for now. Liams gaze remained on Daisy, and upon hearing her words, he quickly said, Its not too much. Theyre both daughters, so naturally, they should be treated the same. Director Miles, dont you agree? Johaness face stiffened for a moment, and he said, Mr. Davis is right. Daisy didnt take hispliance to heart and continued to lower her gaze to stir her coffee without looking at them. After a while, Liam nced at Johanes, who got the hint and stood up saying, Daisy, you chat with Mr. Davis first, I have something to do and have to leave. Liam stood up, Director Miles, you go ahead, Ill visit you another day. Johanes nodded with a smile, and as he left, he gave Daisy a warning nce, but she sat there dignified and cool, not looking up. It wasnt until Johanes left that Liamughed and said, Hes gone. Daisy looked at him, her phoenix eyes upturned and beautiful, emanating a sense of distance and indifference, Dont waste your time on me. Not expecting her to be so straightforward, Liam was stunned for a moment before he likewise said directly, Lady Zane, you should at least consider and give it a try. Daisy looked at him for a while beforementing, Youre quite confident. Yes, Ive always felt that I have the confidence to back it up, Liam said. Daisy took another look at him and said nothing. Lady Zane, you must know that if youre with me, youll immediately get what you want, Liam said, looking at her, Youll have a ce in the Miles family, and youll have everything Amelia has, and even more. Daisy still didnt sneak or look at him. she just nicked un the coffee and took a sip. Liams eyes stayed on her, never leaving. He didnt know what was going on with him. He went to Daisys film premiere with a little celebrity. His goal was to please that little celebrity, so he didnt pay much attention to the film. But at the end of the film, he inadvertently nced at the screen just in time to see Daisys close-up. The shot was short,sting only a few seconds before the movie ended. But Liam felt that those few seconds stretched infinitely in his vision, and everything around him suddenly lost its color. He didnt know how to describe his state of mind at the time. From a young age, he liked many people and was attracted to anyone beautiful. But he had never felt a feeling like that, as if a seed had been nted in his heart. He thought it was just a passing fancy, but he didnt expect that after all this time, the seed had sprouted. He didnt rule out that after seeing her in person, he would lose interest. Yet today, seeing her in person, he couldnt help but feel morefortable and at ease with every nce. He never thought that someone so cold and cool, so dismissive of others, could be so likable. Lady Zane, I genuinely like you, Liam said, I hope youll seriously consider it. The Davis family is one of the top in Truro City, and as long as I speak up, the Miles family wont refuse. I also promise no one will ever mention your background again. The entire Davis family will stand behind you. With such a good deal, its indeed tempting, Daisy said indifferently. The smile on Liams face deepened, I know we just met, and I may be a bit forward. Moreover, what Im doing might seem a bit calcting. Lady Zane, if you dont understand or trust me, you can take your time to get to know me. Im sincere in everything I say. Daisy looked at him and slowly said, Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Davis. But I dont need help. The smile on Liams face stiffened, What? Please continue on your way. Daisy didnt say anything more and walked straight out. Watching Daisys retreating figure, Liam looked down andughed softly after a while. Aftering out of the coffee shop, Daisy thought for a moment and ordered a car to go to Truro Universitysboratory. She had an experiment that the assistant had given herst time. She took advantage of being in Truro City to finish it and write a report to submit early. So the old professor wouldnt keep targeting her. She didnt leave Truro Universitysboratory until 9 0clock. After walking along the street for a while, she had a te of rice noodles. Then Daisy Zane took a taxi back to Evesting Pce. But when she got to Evesting Pce and was waiting for the elevator to open, she bumped into Harton rk and Allonzo Hobson. The two of them took the elevator up from the parking lot. Originally, Harton rks stern eyes softened the moment he saw Daisy Zane and said, Youve been out? Daisy Zane entered the elevator without wanting to answer his question. When she went to Truro University, Harton rk had sent her a message saying that he would pick her up from Maple Eliteter. Daisy Zane didnt want to bother him, so she said she had already returned to Evesting Pce. But now it was obvious that Harton rk saw through her lie. She didnt answer, and he didnt ask further: Have you eaten? Yes. The elevator opened at the twenty-eighth floor, and the three came out together. Harton rk nced at Daisy Zanes residence and said, He wont be here tonight. Allonzo Hobson also quickly added, Oh, right, I came to get something and will leave after that. Its fine, Daisy Zane said. James Collins sent me the password, and Ill get my luggage and go back. Upon hearing this, Harton rk hesitated while opening the door, and even frowned where the other two couldnt see. But he quickly regained hisposure: Are you sure its correct? Daisy Zane didnt speak, clearly not very sure. Although James Collins had assured her repeatedly that the password was correct when he texted her and even offered to freeze his own bank card if it wasnt. But Ill go try it first. Sure. Harton rk agreed verbally, but in his heart, he kept praying that she wouldnt be able to open the door. Allonzo Hobson, who had been quiet throughout and obviously a bit tired, noticed Harton rks reaction. He raised his eyebrows, amusement evident on his face. However, things didnt go as Harton rk hoped, and he heard the sound of Daisy Zanes password being entered correctly and the door opening. Allonzo Hobson was close by and clearly felt Harton rks sudden drop in pressure when the door opened, like a tornado. Before Allonzo Hobson could react, there was a crash from Daisy Zanes ce following the sound of the door opening. Something had fallen over, and there was the noise of metal scattering on the ground. Before Allonzo Hobson could respond, Harton rk was already walking towards Daisy Zane. Lucia. Daisy Zane was standing at the door, looking at the express delivery boxes piled half a person high from the entryway to the living room entrance C big and small, long and square. And from the looks of it, there were even more piles in the living room. It resembled a warehouse, leaving her just enough space to pass. However, she didnt even have space to pass now because when she opened the door, the express delivery boxes on the right fell over. Harton rk first checked on Daisy Zane to make sure she was alright, then nced into the room and was stunned for a moment. Daisy Zanes expression was not good. She stared at the boxes, looking like she was on the verge of exploding. Following the scene, Allonzo Hobson couldnt help but curse out loud, then he saw some glittering gold items scattered on the floor. He bent down to pick up two, weighing them in his hand, nced at Daisy Zane, then at Harton rk, and said, If Im not mistaken, this is. gold, right? Chapter 57 - 57: Staying Another Night Chapter 57: Staying Another Night Trantor: 549690339 Perhaps Allonzo Hobson identally bumped into something while picking up things, and the small cardboard box that spilled gold bars tilted further down. With a ssh, many more fell out. Allonzo Hobsons eyes couldnt help but widen. A box full of gold bars! He looked at the two in his hand, just two bare gold bars without any imprints. And they were just packed in such a shabby cardboard box with no protective padding inside. Was it this casual? Plusthe express order on this broken box, these things cant be sent through express delivery, right? As he was thinking, the box next to this one also fell. This time no gold bars fell out, but a few diamonds did, including a blue one and a pink one. This was just what had fallen out, and Allonzo Hobson had a feeling that the whole box was full of them. It seemed that these few diamonds had been thest straw that wore away Daisy Zanes patience. Kevin rk clearly felt that the person next to him was growing colder and colder. He then saw her slowly take out her cell phone, swipe a few times, and dial a number. A few secondster, it connected. The first voice toe out was James Collins, which Kevin rk, being close by, heard clearly. Sister, how is it? The password must be correct this time James Collins. Daisy Zane cut off his voice, her tone cold and frightening, Who the fuck did you tell my address to? It wasnt loud or harsh, but it sent shivers down ones spine. Allonzo Hobson couldnt help but gasp for cold air. Kevin rk, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and smirked with amusement. Daisy Zane was a cold and cool person. But it was obvious that she had a good upbringing, her manners and behavior were very good. How to put it, she was quite like an ancient generals mansion youngdy. She had the elegant manners of ady of the boudoir, but also the capable and dashing temperament of someone skilled in both literature and martial arts. Although her speech carried no emotion, making her seem quite unapproachable, she was actually quite patient. It was the first time Kevin rk had seen her curse and lose her temper. It seemed she was truly angry this time. James Collins was apparently scared and it took him a while to regain his voice: Sister, I didnt. I just moved your stuff from your previous ce. Say that again. James Collinss voice grew smaller: Well, when moving your stuff, there were like, a few people who asked me to bring some things for you. Daisy Zane closed her eyes for a moment: I dont care where you are, clean it up before tomorrow night. She hung up the phone after that. Looking at the room full of things, Daisy Zanes forehead twitched involuntarily. She had just managed to be rid of these things, and that unlucky kid had brought them all back to her. Well can I stay another night? The smile in Kevin rks eyes seemed to overflow: Sure. Allonzo Hobson rolled his eyes at him and put the two gold bars back in his hand and said, Give me my stuff, Im leaving. After returning to Kevin rks side, Allonzo Hobson took a file bag and went downstairs. They had also bought the ground floor, where Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway lived. All the buildings in theplex had simryouts, all with three bedrooms. However, Daisy Zane had a storage room, and Kevin rk had a study room. But there were still three bedrooms downstairs, so Allonzo Hobson went there. Do you want a bedtime reading tonight? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane came out after her shower to find a drink of water, her hair still wet. She grabbed a towel and wiped it before raising an eyebrow: Do you still want to sleep in the living room, or does the Third Master want to go to the bedchamber to read to me? Kevin rk poured a ss of water for her: I really do want to go. Cough Daisy Zane suddenly choked on the water and coughed twice. Slow down. Kevin rk handed her two tissues, I was just kidding. Daisy Zane coughed twice more: I drank too fast. Meaning it had nothing to do with him making her choke. Kevin rk didnt tease her anymore, filled her thermos with water, and told her to go back to bed. Returning to her bedroom, Daisy Zane checked her phone before lying down. There was an unread message from a few days ago: [Did you receive the package? Its newly acquired and cost a lot. I just wanted you to see the materials and find some inspiration, remember to have someone send it back to me when youre done. Also, I wanted to remind you that November is nearly here, and you havent submitted your design drafts for the second half of the year.] Daisy Zane remembered the box of gold bars and diamonds. She left the message as read but didnt reply, turned off her phone, andy down in bed. However, she got up within less than a minute, turned her phone back on. She probably wouldnt be able to sleep tonight without cursing him out. Past eleven oclock in the evening, Johanes Miles returned home drunk. Charles Hobson hadnt slept and was waiting for him in the living room. When he entered, she stood up to support him: Why did you drink so much? As you get older, it could hurt your health. Charles, Johanes Miles held her hand while sitting down on the sofa, Charles, thank you for all these years. I feel really secure with you by my side. Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Charles Hobson grasped his hand and looked at him. Charles, Im sorry. Whats wrong? Charles Hobsons expression became more solemn. Liam Davis met Daisy Zane today. Charles Hobsons hand instantly went cold: And then what? They met at noon. Johanes Miles rubbed his brow and said, In the evening, Liam dined with meuntil now. Feeling the strength in Charles Hobsons hand weaken, he gripped her tighter: He said he likes Daisy Zane very much and insists on having her return to the Miles Family, giving her a share of everything that belongs to Johnson Sophie. Otherwise Otherwise, what? What does he want to do? Otherwise, he will stand in opposition to us and be our enemy. Let him stand in opposition! Are we scared of him? Charles Hobson suddenly let go of Johanes Miless hand, Why are you telling me all this? You want the b* * *h toe back, dont you? Charles, dont be unreasonable. The Miles Family has just started to flourish and has suffered a heavy blow again. Johanes Miles said, We no longer have the strength and energy to deal with the powerful Davis Residence. What do you mean we dont have the strength, we dont have the energy? Charles Hobson stood up, We are rted by marriage to the Anning Faction, we have Maple Elite Entertainment, and we have our Hobson Family. What can he, one of the Davis Residence, possibly do! Johanes Miles didnt respond. The Hobson Family has yed a significant role in the Miles Familys sess today. But just like the old master said, the assistance the Hobson Family can provide is limited. If the Davis Residence were to stand against them, the best-case scenario for the Miles Family would be to keep from declining with the support of Maple Elite Entertainment and the Hobson Family. However, if the Davis Residence were to stand with them, the Miles Familys future would stand to prosper. Johanes Miles, now that youve be so sessful, do you think the Hobson Family is beneath you? Tears suddenly fell from Charles Hobsons eyes, her hand was raised but didnt strike him in the end. She had loved this man since her twenties, given birth to his children, paved the way for his career, and even fought tooth and nail to snatch him from someone else. However, in his eyes, the interests of the Miles Family always came first. Johanes Miles, do you have a heart? Have you ever genuinely thought about Johnson Sophie, have you ever thought about your son! Isnt everything Im doing now for their sake? For their sake, you want to give away their possessions! Charles Hobson threw the pillow from the sofa at him. The Miles Family will belong to Henry Smith sooner orter, and Johnson Sophie will marry eventually. Isnt it true that the better the Miles Family develops, the smoother Henrys takeover will be and the more valuable Johnson Sophies shares will be, and her position in her birth family will be more secure? Youre talking nonsense! Youre just trying to justify your actions! You just want to bring that b* * *h back home! Chapter 58 - 58: Pretty Good Chapter 58: Pretty Good Trantor: 549690339 From the moment Charles Hobson started yelling, Amelia Miles hade out of her room and stood in the corridor on the second floor, listening. Johanes Miles had drunk all night, and although not drunk, his head was pounding. Charles yelling made him feel even worse. Jordan, said Johanes Miles, trying to be patient, even if the Miles family recognizes her, it will only be a formality, and then allocate her a share. She will note here, will not cause us trouble, and everything will be the same as before. The same as before? Johannes Miles, if you want it to be like before, let that little bitch stay far away from this home, or dont expect it to be like before! Jordan! I said, I dont allow it! Jordan. Johanes Miles stood up from the sofa, I hope you think about it, and besides, Arthur Norths family should have her share. Amelia Miles, who had been listening on the second floor, clenched her hands tightly upon hearing this. Johanes Miles didnt argue with her but warned her with a clear tone. Charles Hobson suddenly stepped back, looking at him in disbelief. Johanes Miles did not say anything more and went straight back upstairs. When he reached the upstairs, he saw Amelia Miles standing at the entrance of the room in her pajamas and was momentarily startled: Amelia, you havent slept yet. Dad, you Amelia Miles smiled obediently, Drink less wine in the future, its not good for your health. Hmm, I know. Johanes Miless voice softened, Help your dad go and persuade your mom. I know. When Johanes Miles returned to his room, Amelia Miles went downstairs. Charles Hobson was already sitting on the sofa, her shawl had fallen off her shoulders. Hearing the footsteps, she looked up and saw Amelia Miles, the tears just beginning to fall: Amelia. Mom. Amelia Miles handed her two tissues to wipe her tears, Arguing doesnt solve anything, it only causes cracks in your rtionship with Dad. I dont want to argue either, but look at what hes done. Mom, dont worry. Amelia Milesforted, If they want to recognize her because of Liam Davis, this matter doesnt need us to worry about. Let alone Liams fickleness and habit of changing women like clothes. Even Liams mother wouldnt approve of Daisy Zane. Charles Hobson wiped her tears and replied, I know, Im just disappointed with your fathers approach. Dad still loves you, thats why he tells you these things. Amelia Miles leaned back on the sofa, Liams mother has a high standard for her daughter-inw. No matter what, she would never let Daisy Zane, who has not been to school and has the identity of an illegitimate daughter, marry into their family. Charles Hobson nodded her head gently. Amelia Miles held her mothers hand, looked at the tea table, and her expression darkened bit by bit. Even if Liams mother was blind and favored Daisy Zane, she could still find a way to ruin her. Daisy Zane argued with others for almost an hour before she won and finally went to sleep. She woke up before seven oclock the next morning. After lying in bed for a while, she decided she couldnt fall asleep and got up to wash and change her clothes. When she stepped out of her room, she smelled food but didnt see Harton rk in the living room. So, she walked straight to the kitchen. Theyout of Harton rks house was symmetrical to hers. From the master bedroom, she had to walk past the study and guest bedroom before reaching the kitchen. As she walked past the guest bedroom, Daisy Zane noticed the door was open and took a quick nce inside. She took a very quick look and continued walking. But after two steps, Daisy Zane suddenly stopped and froze for two seconds before returning to the entrance of the guest room. Harton rk had apparently just taken a shower; his hair was still wet, and the fragmented hair on his forehead was dripping water. He was facing away from the door, wearing home clothes on his lower body, buthe was shirtless on the upper body. Harton rks skin was cold and white, a very typical case of looking thin in clothes but having some meat when undressed. His muscles had beautiful lines, not exaggerated, very bnced, and strong. And he had a great body proportion. From his neck to his shoulders, to his shoulder des, and then his waist, every part was perfect. Daisy Zane didnt expect that a seemingly skinny person would have such a great figure without clothes on. Kevin rk wiped his hair with a towel and put on his shirt. Halfway through, he seemed to sense something and looked back. Then he saw a little girl openly watching him perhaps admiring would be more urate. Her gaze was so bold that she didnt even hide when discovered. Moreover, when Kevin rk fully turned around and pulled down his shirt, she took the opportunity to admire his abs. Kevin rk got dressed and walked up to her, and only then did Daisy Zane slowly look up at the person in front of her. After a moment of eye contact, Daisy Zane spoke first: Nice body. So, Daisy was sneakily watching? Kevin said, leaning in slightly to narrow the distance between them. Daisy leaned back a bit and averted her gaze: You didnt close the door. So Daisy was watching openly. Seeing her slightly frown, Kevin dared not tease her further. He stood straight and asked, Why are you up so early? Daisy Zane suppressed some unfamiliar feelings and spoke slowly, Couldnt sleep anymore. Didnt sleep well? It was good. It was such a good sleep that she woke up early. I made red date and lotus seed porridge, and it should be ready soon. Want breakfast? Kevin walked out of the room. You made it? Yep, Kevin replied, I woke up a bit early today too, so I made some porridge and went for a run outside. So you took a bath early in the morning. What else? Kevin somehow felt that there was something in Daisy Zanes expression. Ignoring his words, Daisy Zane went straight to the dining room where some breakfast items Kevin had bought were on the table. Kevin looked at her retreating figure andughed. Then he brought her a bowl of porridge, Be careful, its a bit hot. Okay. Daisy took a spoonful, blew on it for a while, and then took a bite. It tasted good. How is it? Very good. Daisy scooped another spoonful of porridge and blew on it. Kevin chuckled as he prepared the rest of their breakfast. I wontpare myself to the chef at Doomsday Hotel, but how aboutparing to Michael Jackson? Whose cooking is better? Upon hearing this, Daisy looked up at him. Kevin unabashedly disyed a hint of jealousy towards Michael Jackson, not hiding it at all. Daisy took another bite, slowly stirring the porridge with her slender fingers holding the spoon, and said, Its better than the Doomsday Hotel chefs. Kevin, somewhat surprised, nced at Daisy beforeughing, Seems like Ive got some talent for cooking. Yeah, you can develop it further. Alright. After breakfast, Kevin had work to do, but he didnt go to the study. He took hisputer and sat in the living room. Daisy had a report to write as well. So, the two of them sat, one cross-legged on a three-seater sofa, the other on a single-seat sofa, legs crossed. The sound of typing on their keyboards was like apetition. It was quite noticeable that there was one difference between them: the line spacing on Kevinsputer wasrger than Daisys.. Chapter 59 - 59: Living Expenses Chapter 59: Living Expenses Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had been by Kevin rks side all day, even having lunch with him. It wasnt until two oclock in the afternoon when she was in the living room, staring at the nkputer screen, trying toe up with a design, that she heard the sound of a door opening. It was her room door opening, very faint, but she heard it. James Collins had arrived. Kevin rk also heard the sound; he looked up from the heap of code in front of him and nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy gave no indication of wanting to go out and check; she merely closed herptop, ced the peeled grapes from the tea table on top of it, and began eating them one by one. Only when she was halfway through eating did she remember that the person who had peeled the grapes was still sitting next to her. She grabbed the te and passed it over. Kevin rk looked up, and said softly, Im good, you keep eating. Daisy withdrew her hand, continuing to eat. It was his choice not to eat after all. After finishing the grapes, she opened a box of choctes. After eating two pieces, she opened a bag of potato chips. Concerned about disturbing the person beside her, she intentionally moved quietly and chewed softly. Just eat normally, youre not disturbing me. Kevin said. Okay. Daisy responded, but she still ate quietly. After finishing the chips, she ate a box of mini cookies. Kevin watched her out of the corner of his eye. Despite her slow eating, she was inexplicably cute, like a tiny squirrel. Sensing Kevins amusement, Daisy turned and looked at him. She trailed her gaze from his eyes to the bridge of his nose, then to his vermilion thin lips. Holding her gaze there for a few seconds, she moved down his jawline to his throat To Daisy, this man seemed perfect in every way. Almost a minuteter, Kevin could no longer focus on his code. He stopped typing, looked at Daisy, and said softly, Lucia. There was a hint of strain in his voice. Daisys eyshes fluttered, and she slowly withdrew her gaze. What is it? Kevin looked at her for a few seconds beforeughing, Nothing. Are you bored? Do you want to go out and y for a bit? As he spoke, he deleted the jumbled mess of code hed just written. Not now. Daisy ced herptop on the sofa, Im going to check on James, you carry on. Ill go with you. Without hesitation at the mention of James, Kevin rk shut hisptop. Hmm? Daisy looked at him with puzzlement. Im finished, it would be good to move around a bit. When they opened the door, James was in the living room examining the contents of the boxes. All the boxes looked pretty much the same structure, and hed forgotten what was in them. Upon hearing the door open, he poked his head out from amidst the sea of boxes, and his face broke into a smile when he saw Daisy. Sis, youre back? The boxes that had been knocked over by the entrance had been neatly arranged in a corner, the narrow hallway was cleared. Daisy looked at Jamess gray hair, which had faded in color. Clean up your mess. Okay. Jamesplied, then suddenly locked eyes with Kevin who was standing behind Daisy. His smiling eyes immediately became hostile. But Kevin merely nced at him, then ignored him. James angrily tore up a box in his hand. James, where did you put the two boxes from the entrance? Daisy asked. Sis, theyre on the living room tea table. Daisy went to the living room and only then noticed that severalrge boxes had been piled up there, along with a few antique wooden boxes sitting on the sofa. What Why didnt you just dig up the two trees from the entrance and bring those here too? James shrank his neck, I was afraid they would die if I moved them. Daisy picked up a throw pillow from the sofa and threw it at him. James caught it and kept his mouth shut. I want you to move everything back the way you found it. Okay. As James quietly continued to clean, Daisy opened the box of gold bars and diamonds again. It was mid-afternoon, and sunlight was streaming into the living room, lighting up the boxes and making them glitter. Daisy looked at the box of diamonds, then emptied out half of it. She also took half of the gold bars out, put them all in a new box and handed it to Kevin. Here. Take it, its free. said Daisy. Consider it my living expenses. Kevin raised an eyebrow and chuckled, With this much, does it mean youll be responsible for my living expenses for decades toe? Daisy was sitting on the carpet, looking up at him. She wanted to say that even a single meal at the Doomsday Hotel was extraordinarily expensive, so this much would be used up before long. But before she could speak, James, who was watching their exchange, quickly interrupted them. Sis, do you want to take this too? Both turned to look at him, and the topic was dropped for now. James was sitting on the floor, holding a guitar case in his arms. The case was ck, with real leather wrapping the outside. Such a case usually contained a Pipa. Kevin remembered the callouses on Daisys fingertips. Upon seeing the case, Daisy instinctively massaged her own knuckles. She said in silence for a few seconds before replying, Whatever. Upon hearing her answer, James immediately took the Pipa to the storage room. In that moment, Kevin felt that the person beside him seemed somewhat down, but upon looking at her, saw that she appeared no different than usual. She was simply studying the blue diamond in her hand. The items James had brought over were a mess. Not only were they from Daisys former residence, but some of them were gifts from a few people. Daisy hadnt given them her address, so theyd sent everything to James. Among the various items, she kept some wine and a few books, and had James return the rest. By 5 0clock in the afternoon, the room was finally tidied. James insisted on personally transporting the items, Sis, I need to leave again. His tone was pitiful, and his expression even more so. But Daisy merely nced at him and said coldly, Your hairs faded, its ugly. James: Ive told you before, dont act cute when youre ugly. James: Otherwise not only will it not work, but it will backfire. Jamess handsome face was now contorted to resemble a bitter gourd. Are you not leaving yet? Do you want me to calcte the cost? Ill leave immediately. James immediately put on a sweet smile, Sis, Ille visit when I have time. Daisy casually agreed. James red at the grinning Kevin before opening the door and leaving. What are youughing at? Daisy turned around and looked at Kevin. Ahem Kevin immediately retracted his smile and said, Ill help you put the wine in the wine cab. Watching the direction Kevin left in, Daisy softlyughed for a moment.. Chapter 60 - 60: Similar to You Chapter 60: Simr to You Trantor: 549690339 Since Daisy Zane had finished cleaning up her ce, she naturally wouldnt be staying at Kevin rks ce anymore. So after dinner, she brought her suitcase andputer over. Kevin rk moved back into the master bedroom. When returning to the bedroom from the study that night, Kevin rk stood by the bed for a long time after taking a shower. In the end, he didnt change the sheets and duvet cover andy down directly. But he, who had always had good sleep quality, suffered from insomnia that night on that bed. Daisy Zane had used his shower gel and wore his clothes when she showered at his ce. The smell of her skincare products was very faint. But he inexplicably smelled a scent that was like falling snow. His mind was full of Daisy Zane, and for a moment, he wanted to knock on the door next door. He stayed awake until around 3 0clock before falling asleep. Before falling asleep, a thought floated through his mind: Kevin rk, after so many years of being an ascetic, you finally have a day like this. The next morning, when Daisy Zane woke up and saw Kevin rks message, she replied, telling him that she was awake. Then, twenty minutester, just after she finished washing up, Kevin rk came with breakfast, ringing her doorbell. Opening the door, Daisy Zane looked at his red eyes and asked, Didnt sleep wellst night? It was pretty good. Kevin rk changed his shoes and thought, just thinking about you kept me awake at the beginning, and then kept dreaming about you after falling asleep. So it was pretty good indeed. Breakfast was ced on the table, and Kevin rk said, I wanted to wake up early and cook some porridge, but I got upte. Daisy Zane ate a small dumpling: Tastes good. When they were almost done eating, Kevin rk said, I have to return to the Imperial Capitalter. Do you want to y in the Imperial Capital for a few days? Daisy Zane paused her soup-drinking: No. Its fine, youre going to start working again in a few days, so rest well these days. Kevin rk said, If you have anything to do, find Michael Jackson. Okay. After breakfast, Kevin rk left. On the way to the airport, he received a phone call. When he saw the words William Lane on the caller ID, Kevin rk raised his eyebrows. He answered the phone without any greeting and directly said, You seem quite free today. The person on the other end of the phoneughed, and without any pleasantries, asked directly, Are you in the Imperial Capital? On my way back, whats up? William Lane: Can you make it by noon? Lets have lunch together? Huh? Youre back in the Imperial Capital? Kevin rk was a bit surprised. This person spent about 360 days out of a year not in the country. Yeah. William Lane sighed, and then spoke somewhat helplessly, My sister is skipping school and getting into fights, and my dad is apanying my mom on her tour, so I came back to catch her. Kevin rkughed. This is already her third year in Senior Three. William Lane sounded powerless, She already caught up in terms of grade skipping, and now she doesnt want to study. The thoughts of young girls are always hard to guess. I mustve done something to wrong her in my past life. William Lane said, Lets not talk about it, Ill see you at noon at the usual ce. Okay. Since he had an appointment, Kevin rk went straight to the Doomsday Hotel after getting off the ne in the Imperial Capital. If you say that the Doomsday Hotel in Truro City is luxurious, then the Doomsday Hotel in the Imperial Capital can rush up to the 36th Heaven in terms of extravagance. Its area is equivalent to two of those in Truro City. Kevin rk got out of his car in front of the Doomsday Hotel, and while standing at the entrance, he chatted with Daisy Zane for a bit because his cell phone had alerted him to a message. When he wanted to enter the hotel, he had just turned around when a little child bumped into him. The childs head bumped into his thigh, making the child grunt with pain. Are you okay? Kevin rk bent down to lift the little head up and check the childs forehead. The child was very beautiful, with slightly yellowish curly hair that reached his shoulders. It wasbed into an apple hairstyle. His skin was very white, and his little chubby face had a pair ofrge eyes that took up almost half of his face. And the eyshes were a bit excessively long, blinking constantly. He looked like a little girl, but his outfit was more like that of a boy. Considering his height, he should be around four or five years old. Does it still hurt? Kevin rk asked again. The child kept looking up at him with big, watery eyes. After a while, he shook his head. Wheres your family? Kevin rk looked around, but there was no one nearby. The child didnt say anything and shook his head again. Do you have any contact information for your family? The child shook his head. Do you know your home address? The child shook his head again, and this time, he grabbed Kevin rks sleeve after shaking. Kevin rk was looking at the silent child and was considering whether to call the police when William Lanes voice came from behind. Yo, Third Master. Its been so long since we met, and you already have a child this big? Kevin rk nced at him, Go check your familys surveince to see whose child this is. William Lane smiled, Come on, let me have a look. Wow, so beautiful! Looks just like you when you were young. When Kevin rk was younger, he was very beautiful and looked like a youngdy. At that time, when William Lane first saw him, he called him sister repeatedly. In the end, they had a fight. William Lane was seven and Kevin rk was six that year. When the adults separated the two children, Kevin rks nose was bleeding, William Lanes eye was swollen, and there was also blood on his forehead. Kevin rk didnt say anything more to him. Seeing his expressionless face, William Lane felt a faint pain in his forehead: Ill go check the surveince. Young Master, how could youe out by yourself? Thankfully, I found you. An over-fifty-year-old man ran out of the hotel before William Lane even went to check the surveince. He squatted down beside the child, carefully examining him, and sighed in relief after seeing that he was fine. Thank you both for the trouble. Thank you, thank you. Kevin rk slightly nodded. Young Master, lets go home. The man spoke, and the child hesitated a little before letting go of Kevin rks sleeve and hugged the mans neck. The man held the child in his arms, slightly bowed to Kevin rk and hispanion, and left. Young Master, you mustnt run around like this again. You scared me to death. The man said while walking, And in the future, dont get so close to strangers. Today you met kind people, but what if you meet bad ones? The young master would be taken away. The child rested on his shoulder, looking back at Kevin rk entering the hotel. Then he whispered softly, He smells like something Mommy likes. What? The man didnt hear clearly and asked again. But the child did not want to speak again. After lunch, Daisy Zane went to the storage room and took out a drawing board. She sat in front of the French window, holding a paintbrush, aimlessly sketching while contemting the theme for her design draft. But after thinking for two hours, she still couldnt decide. Instead, she received a call from Emily. Sister Emily. Daisy, do you have time? I found you an assistant;e to thepany to meet her. By the way, talk about the follow-up work. Okay. After hanging up, Daisy Zane went out. When she tried to call a car outside the Evesting Pce, Liam Davis stopped his car in front of her, Lady Zane, where are you going? Let me give you a ride. Without a doubt, Johanes Miles must have told him the address. Daisy Zane stepped back and continued trying to call a car. But no one epted the order. Lets go, I dont have anything to do either. Daisy Zane still ignored him and waited for someone to ept her ride request. But after a minute, no one epted, and she started to think about going back to drive her own car. Lady Zane, just get in the car. I wont charge you, and I wont do anything. Davis said, Just think of it as hitching a ride. Daisy Zane waited another minute, but no one epted her order, and Davis didnt leave. She took a step forward, opened the back door, and sat down: Maple Elite Entertainment. David Davis turned his head and looked at her with a smile, I said its a free ride, and you really treat me like a driver, huh? Daisy Zane turned her head, meeting his gaze. She took out 100 USD from her pocket and ced it on the armrest box in the middle, saying, Car fare. Remember to give me back 50ter.. Chapter 61 - 61: Being Considerate, Amelia Miles Chapter 61: Being Considerate, Amelia Miles Trantor: 549690339 Liam Davis had a lot to say, and Daisy Zane felt like she had two James Collins buzzing in her ears all the way, making her patience border on exhaustion. When they finally arrived at Maple Elite Hotel, Daisy quickly got out of the car as soon as it stopped, without saying a word, she strode towards thepany. She didnt even bother to take the fifty yuan. However, Liam Davis didnt seem to have any intention of letting her go free. After parking the car, he caught up with her before she could enter thepany. Miss Zane, could you wait for me? Daisy Zane stopped and looked at him, holding back an urge to snap, she said, Could you please be quieter? Oh, you prefer silence. Liam Davisughed, Okay, Ill shut my mouth. Sister, you came to thepany. Amelia Miless voice sounded behind the two. Both turned around to look. Amelia Miles was smiling obediently, walking towards them in high heels. Daisy nced at her and went straight into thepany. Hey, Daisy Zane. Theres a card reader before the elevator at Maple Elite Entertainment. Only with a card can one get in. In the blink of an eye, Daisy swiped her card and got in. Liam Davis didnt even have the chance to catch up with her, and in his anxiety, he called out her name. But Daisy had already entered the elevator. Mr. Davis. Amelia Miles came over at this moment and greeted Liam Davis. Miss Miles. Liam Davis replied politely. You apanied my sister to thepany? Amelia looked towards the elevator. Yes. Liam Davis lost the yful expression he had on the way, Miss Miles, are you here to see your fianc? Amelias smile stiffened for a moment, but she recovered quickly, speaking softly, Well, he has been quite busy these days, so I came to check on him. Liam Davis remained silent, ncing towards the elevator again. Seeing this, Amelia thoughtfully said, Mr. Davis, would you like toe in? I can take you to my sister. No, its okay. Liam said, She has to work. I dont want to disturb her. Ill just wait for her here. Amelia nodded, then silently said, Mr. Davis, my sister grew up in the countryside. Her education is limited and her temper sometimes gets out of control. I hope Mr. Davis would be more tolerant towards her. Liam Davis finally looked at her squarely. His face was inscrutable as he said, Miss Miles seems to care a lot about her sister. She is my sister after all. Amelia lowered her eyes and gave a small smile, while gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, And since my sister grew up in the countryside, shes never been educated, nor has she interacted with many people. Suddenlying to such a ce, bearing the reputation of being a illegitimate child, it is of course necessary for me, as a sister, to help her more. Listened to her seemingly thoughtful words, Liam stared at her in silence. Mr. Davis, whats wrong? Amelia noticed his gaze, her face became a bit hot. Liam chuckled lightly, Nothing. Miss Miles, please go ahead and enter. If we keep standing here for too long, people may misunderstand. Yes, the thought of my sister made me lose the track of time. Amelia said gently. Since Miss Miles loves Lucia so much, I believe you must have been overjoyed when Director Miles held the family recognition banquet. Liam said. The smile on Amelias face stiffened a bit longer this time, Yes, yes indeed. Well make it happen soon. Liam smiled, As soon as Lucia epts my feelings, I will have Director Miles proudly bring her home. Then Miss Miles wouldnt have to worry about Lucia anymore. Amelia finally could not smile anymore, she hastily said, I will go find John first, Mr. Davis, please excuse me. Liam Davis watched Amelias figure disappear into the elevator, gave a snort, and sat down on a sofa in the great hall, waiting for Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane took the elevator up, and as soon as she came out, she ran into John Anderson. She looked at John with a neutral expression, and John was slightly taken aback when he saw her. You came to thepany. John chose a nd greeting. However, Daisy still responded. About that Last time, I asked you toe over. I had kept some information from you. Sorry about that. John said. Daisy Zane didnt say anything. Hmm I think Uncle Miles also intends to take you home. Its always better to go home than to live outside, John Anderson said, Of course, it also depends on yourself. I may have not considered this matter thoroughly and didnt handle it well, I apologize to you. Yeah. Because of his fathers actions, John always felt awkward when he faced Daisy Zane, not knowing how to interact with her. He said awkwardly, Well, Ill head upstairs first. Johns Office was upstairs. Yeah. After he left, Daisy Zane went directly to the meeting room. As soon as she opened the door, in addition to Emily Dawson, there was another young girl there. She was probably the assistant Emily had found for her. Lucia, youre here. The young girl promptly stood up and gasped when she saw Daisy Zane, holding her breath. All she was thinking was, how can someone be so stunning. Daisy Zanes gaze moved over the young girl and thennded on Emily Dawson. Emily looked thinner than thest time they met, and even with makeup on, herplexion wasnt good. She was clearly exhausted. Sister Emily. Come on, Let me introduce you, Emily Dawson said, Her name is Anisa Cooper. Shes a senior at Truro University and is currently doing an internship. Shes majoring in Cultural Industry Management. Daisy Zane looked at her. Anisa Cooper didnt have the kind of looks that would strike one as beautiful at first nce, but she held a subtle charm that made her appear more endearing the more one looked at her. She dressed modestly, in a basic tracksuit, and the cuffs of the suit had seen some wear. She was clean andpetent. Daisy Zanes aura was somewhat intimidating, making Anisa Cooper feel rather awkward. H- Hello, Miss Everleigh. You can call me Naomi. Hello, Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze, well go with her. Anisa Cooper excitedly pinched her own hand. Good, Emily Dawsonughed, I also think Naomi is a good choice. Anisa Cooper shied away with a smile. Emily Dawson said, Sit, both of you sit. I have something to say. Daisy Zane sat down and looked at her. There are rumors that Spotlight is looking for a spokesperson from its domestic market, Emily Dawson said, Recently, many artists have been keeping an eye on Spotlights official media. Who? The look on Daisy Zanes usually calm face suddenly showed a slight surprise. Spotlight. Emily finished, then added, Oh, maybe you havent heard too much about it. Naomi, do you know? Anisa Cooper nodded and said, Spotlight is a top-level luxury essory brand. Currently, it is the only domestic brand among the top ten luxury essory brands in the world. The founder is Felix Baker, and the chief designer is yson Ninevara. Daisy Zane: . The implication of Spotlight is to make each essory y a key role. Emily Dawson was very pleased with Anisa Cooper and gave a nod of approval. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane maintained an emotionless expression, just curling her lips slightly. Felix Bakers designs already enjoyed great reputation abroad at the time. The emergence of designer yson Ninevara three years ago directly enabled Spotlight to establish its position in the international arena as one of the top ten brands. Daisy Zane saw a starlight in Anisa Coopers eyes. Moreover, Spotlights design style is very variable. Most of them have traditional characteristics, focusing on traditional culture. Integrating trends into tradition and using tradition to guide trends, asionally there could be some quite Westernized designs. Daisy Zane listened silently as Anisa Cooper sung praises of Spotlight, her face gradually bing numb.. Chapter 62 - 62: Standards for Choosing a Spouse Chapter 62: Standards for Choosing a Spouse Trantor: 549690339 After Elsa finished introducing the matter, Lucia fell silent for a moment before asking Emily, Are you sure about the information? Certainly urate, replied Emily. Its info leaked from within Spotlight that just hasnt been made public yet. Really? Lucia said. Why didnt she know? Why had no one told her? Yeah, Emily said. And the international supermodels contract as spokesperson is due to expire this November. Theyre definitely going to need a new one. On the side, Elsa nodded vigorously like a little chicken pecking at rice. Emily continued, When they chose the supermodel as their spokesperson, it was to gain international stature. Now that they have a stable position and the contract is ending, many of their designs are better suited for a domestic spokesperson. Right, right, Elsa chimed in. So, what? You want me to try out to be their spokesperson? Lucia inquired. Yeah, why not seize the opportunity, said Emily. Emily, Lucia replied, Im not famous now, and I dont have any iconic work. If I be a spokesperson, have you ever thought about how badly Id get criticized? Fame is indeed important, Emily agreed, but you have a face and figure unparalleled in the entertainment industry. You have no idea how striking and eye-catching your face truly is. Elsa nodded like a pestle once again. Lucia: If I worked for Spotlight, I would definitely choose you, Emily said. High-end essories paired with the ultimate beauty will surely achieve synergistic results. Elsas nodding ability went back online. Lucia looked at the two of them somewhat speechlessly. Lucia, listen to me on this. We have to seize the opportunity and deal with future matterster, said Emily. All the artists are vying for this endorsement; we cant fall behind. Emily lowered her voice and said, Amelia Miles has the same idea. She has several dance masterpieces under her belt and has won a few awards. Olivia ns to market her well in theing days, boosting her poprity and creating a more ssical image. Lucia: Her ssical dance is really good, and her image aligns well with some of Spotlights designs, Emily exined. Even she wants to fight for it, so we cant give up. What if we end up being chosen? If that happens, Felix Baker must be blind, Lucia calmly assessed. Emily looked at her, obviously not wanting to give up this opportunity. Seeing her like this, Lucia moved her lips but finally advised, Well dont get your hopes up too high. Dont worry, this is what I do for a living, Emily responded. Later, Lucia exchanged contact information with Elsa, telling her toe to the drama crew in two days, and then let her leave first. After Elsa left, Lucia looked at Emily and asked, Whats wrong with you? Huh? Your face looks terrible, Lucia said. Really? I didnt notice, Emily touched her face. Did I put on too much rounaat101% Seeing her dodge the question, Lucia directly grabbed her wrist. Emily winced, Lucia. How did this happen? Emilys wrist was red and swollen. I tripped while holding my daughter and identally hit it, exined Emily. While this exnation was true, the preceding sentences were obviously covering something up. Since she refused to expand further, Lucia didnt press for more information. If you need any help, let me know, Lucia said. Give me your address, I have some medicine at my ce, and Ill send it over. Okay, thanks, Emily smiled. Ill text you my address in a bit. As Lucia descended from the upper floor, she saw Liam awaiting her and couldnt help but furrow her brow. Lady Zane, Liam approached her immediately. Are you done with your work? Would you like to join me for afternoon tea? Lucia let out a sigh: Mr. Davis, you dont meet my standards for a partner, were not a good match. Standards? How would you know I dont meet them without getting to know me? Liam countered. Tell me about your standards. Daisy Zane walked out, saying, At least six foot three, slender waist, fair-skinned legs, exceptionally handsome, unique temperament,es from a wealthy family, with his own career. A pleasant voice, and most importantly, can sing opera, preferably Peking opera. As she finished speaking, Daisy involuntarily curved her lip. Peking, Peking opera? Liam Davis, who was only about six-foot-one, looked a little nk now. Yes, Peking opera. Must, must they all be met? Liam Davis asked, Is there such a person? Youre not lying to me, are you? They all must be met. Daisy lowered her head and called a car, this time, someone quickly epted the ride, So, Mr. Davis, we are not suitable. Look for someone else. Liam didnt say anything, his head a little muddled, as he silently followed Daisy as they waited for the car on the side of the road. Meanwhile, on the neenth floor of Maple Elite Entertainment, Amelia Miles was watching the twos retreating figures, and the look in her eyes grew darker bit by bit. Kevin rk stayed busy for several days after returning to the Imperial Capital. By the time he returned to Truro City, Daisy had already gone back to the drama crew and had been filming for a few days. Although they did not meet in person, the two talked on the phone every day. This brought some constion to Kevin rks heart, even though he was far away in the Imperial Capital. Daisys return to the drama crew with Anisa Cooper saved her a lot of trouble. Anisa was very clever and efficient in her work, and she was a very happy part-timer. She was happy every day. She seemed to be careless, but she was actually a very delicate person. Seeing Anisas smiling face every day, Daisy felt that her acting job was a little bit easier. That day, Daisy was ying a scene where she was captured and subjected to torture. Riley Maxwell was an undercover agent whose identity was suspected, so she was captured for questioning, and George Dunn was the one responsible for interrogating her. When Kevin came to visit the set, he saw Daisy tied to a frame, wearing light-colored, tattered clothes stained with blood sma. Her face was also covered in blood sma, with several wounds, and her hair was messy. ording to the directors assistants exnation, they had just filmed a scene where she was beaten. Kevins expression was not very good, as he kept watching Daisy from the equipment. The pace of the directors assistants breathing slowed down. His attention was all on Daisy, so he didnt hear the call for action. Thats why when George sshed a bucket of water on Daisy, Kevins eyebrows furrowed deeply. In that instant, a fierce aura spread out from him as the center. A few people around shuddered in fear. Daisy choked on a few mouthfuls of water and cursed at George. But George was afraid of exposing his identity as well, so he didnt show any mercy. He released Daisy from the wooden frame where she was tied. He grabbed her arm, dragged her to the tub, and forced her head into the water, saying, Tell me, whats your purpose ining here? Whos your contact, and where are they?! Only then did he pull Daisy up. Daisy coughed several times, and that stunningly beautiful face was drowned, but still had a touch of disabled beauty. She said weakly, I dont know what youre talking about. Ive been framed, someone set me up. Before she could finish her words, George pushed her back into the water. After four or five times of going back and forth, the director finally called cut. Daisy sat directly on the ground, coughing. In order to achieve a realistic effect and save the trouble of acting, she purposely choked on quite a bit of water. Although it was indoors, the weather was a little chilly now, and it had just rained in the morning. She had been sshed with water and dunked in the tub, so she was really cold. Georges assistant and Anisa both rushed over immediately to give Daisy a towel. Anisa wrapped her up with a towel and then hugged her directly, with teary-red eyes, Daisy. Cough, cough, cough, cough its fine. Wipe her hair for her, George said from the side. Georges assistant picked up the towel to wipe Daisys hair, but before he could touch her, someone grabbed his wrist and took the towel away. He nced to the side and saw an incredibly handsome man crouching on the ground, wiping Daisys hair. His face didnt look good, but his movements were gentle.. Chapter 63 - 63: Finished Drinking This Cup of Ginger Tea Chapter 63: Finished Drinking This Cup of Ginger Tea Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane coughed for a while, feeling her breathing eased, and immediately smelled the scent of Eaglewood. She turned her head and nced to the side, only to see Kevin rk with a gloomy face, wiping her hair. Third Master. Kevin rk looked at her but didnt say anything. It was only now that Anisa Cooper looked up at the person beside her. Her eyes widened instantly, and she sighed once again about the mans good looks following Daisy Zane. She was close and could see it clearly. The man in front of her had a delicate appearance, as if it was carefully drawn bit by bit. Howeverthe surrounding intimidating aura was a bit frightening. After Anisa Cooper nced at it, she dared not look again. She took the thermos cup, opened it, and handed it to Daisy Zane: Daisy, have some hot water to warm up. Daisy Zane took it and drank two sips. Feeling better? Kevin rk finally spoke. Yeah, Im fine. Kevin rk felt impatient listening to her nonchnt tone: Change your clothes; were going back to the hotel. I still have a few close-ups to shoot. Daisy Zane replied. Kevin rks lips tightened as he looked at her. For a moment, he wanted to pick her up and take her away. But thinking that Daisy Zane would get angry, he resisted and didnt do it. Daisy Zane looked at his gradually greenish face and blinked: Third Master? Kevin rk nced at her again, then got up and looked at George Dunn. Feeling the murderous gaze, George Dunn suddenly swallowed nervously. Then Kevin rk walked quickly to the equipment and said to the director, Hurry up and shoot. Yes, yes. The director immediately arranged the walkie-talkies. Afterward, Kevin rk watched as Daisy Zane was pressed into the water tank twice. This time, her close-up was even clearer in the equipment. His hands hanging at his side tightened bit by bit, and his face tensed. Actually, he could feel that Daisy Zane didnt like acting very much. Even sometimes, he could feel her disgust. She did have a talent for acting, and she performed well. But she didnt like it; she was just very serious and treated this matter earnestly. She immersed herselfpletely, even though she might have dissected her previously hidden inner self. It was only to act well and empathize with the characters. After discovering this, Kevin rk didnt understand why she chose this path and why she had to suffer. After the shoot was over, Anisa Cooper apanied Daisy Zane to the changing room to change her clothes. As soon as they came out, Kevin rk put his suit jacket on her and led her away by her wrist. Hey? Third Master. Feeling her icy wrist, Kevin rk ignored her and took her directly to his car. Michael Jackson was sitting in the drivers seat, watching Kevin rk put Daisy Zane in the car and then moving to the other side to get in the car as well. Lady Zane. Michael Jackson called her, then handed her a cup of ginger tea, Third Master asked me to buy it. Daisy Zane took it and held it in her hand. Back to the hotel, hurry up. Kevin rk said. Yes, Third Master. Michael Jackson started the car. Daisy Zane wrapped her clothes around her body and took a sip of ginger tea. Then she almost spat it out. This wasnt ginger tea; this was eating ginger. Drink it all. Daisy Zane pretended not to hear, holding the cup and looking out of the window. Lucia. Daisv Zane ignored him. Kevin rk: Lucia, please, drink it. Kevin rks tone softened, Itll warm you up. Michael Jackson: Could you be a little more assertive for a while. Im not cold. Daisy Zane frowned slightly. Listening to these three words, Kevin rks lips seemed to tremble slightly: Your hands are cold. Not cold. Kevin rk directly held her hand: This is not cold? December ice is not as cold as this. Daisy Zane, who never lost in a war of words, subconsciously wanted to retort, but Kevin rks hand was too warm. The temperature spread from her hand, and she didnt know where it reached, but the words at her lips suddenly got stuck. Her gaze fell on their sped hands. Kevin rk pretended not to see her gaze and held tighter to keep her warm. His voice softened again: Listen, drink this. Daisys eyshes trembled, and she thought: Alright, youre good-looking, Ill listen to you. She tilted her head back and drank it all at once. Michael Jackson: Why did the explosive tension just now suddenly subside? The ginger taste was really strong and a bit sharp. But she took it calmly and only frowned slightly. Kevin rk took the paper cup and gave her a piece of sugar, his tone returning to its previous gentleness: To remove the taste. Daisy peeled the sugar with one hand, put it in her mouth, and asionally ground it lightly with her teeth. And the two of them held hands, neither of them moving. Michael Jackson looked at them through the rearview mirror, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily lifted. When they arrived at the hotel, Kevin rk took Daisy to his room. All of Daisys things were with Anisa Cooper, she didnt even grab her cell phone, let alone her room key. Once in the room, Kevin rk found a new set of clothes for her and told her to take a hot shower. Daisy resisted inwardly but still took the clothes and went into the restroom. After a long shower, Kevin rk told her to dry her hair. Daisys patience was exhausted, and she sat on the sofa, muttering, Troublesome. Kevin rk looked at her. Daisy said bluntly, Third Master, youll tire yourself out like this. Hair will dry even without blowing. Kevin rkughed and said, How about I blow it for you? Daisys hand drying her hair paused, and she said after a moment, As you please. The smile on Kevin rks face deepened, and he picked up the hairdryer and stood behind the sofa. He tested the temperature of the hot air and gently blew her hair. Kevin rks movements were gentle and restrained. By the time he finished drying her hair, twenty minutes had passed. In a little while longer, Daisy would have fallen asleep. I said it was troublesome. No trouble. Kevin rk rubbed the top of her head, the corner of his mouth raised as he appeared to be in a great mood. Daisy looked up at him and then asked, Can I use your phone? Kevin rk handed his phone to her directly: The password is 128000. After saying that, he put away the hairdryer and returned to the restroom. Daisy unlocked the phone with the password, revealing Kevin rks WhatsApp interface. And almost the entire page was unread messages. Daisy wasnt interested in other peoples privacy and immediately pressed the back button, but identally pressed a message at the bottom of the screen. The phone screen changed to a chat page. She tried to press the exit button, but after seeing the chat history at the top, she didnt move. Thetest message was sent by Allonzo Hobson: [Im at the hotel, apanying my mom. Call me before the evening action.] At the top of this chat page was a detailed address for Red Cliff Vige, specific to which row and number. Further down was a message from Allonzo Hobson: [Rted to 319?] Kevin rk: [Yes, someone went there at night.] Soon, Kevin rk came out of the restroom. Hearing his footsteps, Daisy casually exited the page, opened the dialing page, and dialed a number from memory. The call was quickly answered: Hello. Naomi, its me, Daisy said, You can take the nanny car back to the hotel, and you dont have to worry about dinner for me. Okay, Daisy. Kevin rk sat on a single sofa next to her, and after she hung up, he asked, What do you want to eat tonight? Porridge, Daisy gave the phone back to him. Okay.. Chapter 64 - 64: Red Cliff Village Address Chapter 64: Red Cliff Vige Address Trantor: 549690339 After dinner, Daisy Zane returned to her room, and Kevin rk worked on some tasks as he saw it was still early. At around 8 0clock, Kevin rk made a phone call to Allonzo Hobson. When can you get here? Im here, Im upstairs with my mom. Allonzo Hobson said, Didnt you see my message? Ive been sending it for several hours. Kevin rks gaze paused for a moment as he browsed the files, then he silently said after two seconds: Leave at 9 0clock. Hmm, got it. Kevin rk hung up and opened his WhatsApp. In the afternoon, there were quite a few unread messages, but he was sure he had looked at them all, just not seeing any messages from Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobsons name had already been pushed down to the bottom. He clicked on it and then gently raised an eyebrow. It was a little past eight, and the sky waspletely dark. Daisy Zane changed into a ck outfit, secured her hair with a hairpin, and left the room. When she arrived at the living room, Anisa Cooper, who was writing on the tea table, looked up at her: Daisy, whats up? Anything wrong? After asking, Anisa Cooper looked at her clothes and finally realized that she was probably going out. Im going out for a bit. Should I go with you? Anisa Cooper asked, her voice involuntarily getting quieter. She suddenly remembered the man who had taken Daisy Zane away this afternoon and felt that she might have touched on something private. And what shed through her mind was that Daisy was having a ndestine rendezvous with a man C how exciting! No need. Daisy Zane said, You dont have to wait for me, go to sleep if youre sleepy. Ah. Okay. Anisa Cooper replied, hesitating a bit before saying, Daisy, there are a lot of paparazzi around the hotel, be careful. Daisy Zane then left the room. As she stood before the elevator, preparing to press the button, a dj? vu scene urred. Before she could press the button, the elevator door opened, and Kevin rk was standing inside. In that instant when their eyes met, it was as if they were back to their first encounter at the Doomsday Hotel. Same scenario, same people. Both of them seemed to freeze for a moment. After a few seconds, just when the elevator door was about to close, Kevin rk blocked it with his hand: Come in. Daisy Zane entered the elevator and saw without asking that Kevin rk pressed the button for his own floor. Then she heard himugh, Daisy, what are you doing out sote? Seems like I arrived at the right time. Kevin rk said, If I were anyter, Id have to chase after you. Daisy Zane looked at him, her expression a bit cold. It gave Kevin rk a feeling that if his next sentence wasnt something she wanted to hear, she would attack him. Didnt mean to hide it from you. As soon as he said these four words, the elevator opened, but Daisy Zane didnt move. Lets talk about it in the room. Kevin rks voice was gentle, even a bit coaxing. Daisy Zane thought for a moment and went back to the room with him. Entering the room, she found that Michael Jackson, Thomas Firway, and Allonzo Hobson were all there. After the three saw Daisy Zane, Michael Jackson stood up first and called someone, Allonzo Hobson looked puzzledly at Kevin rk, and Thomas Firway frowned heavily. Kevin rk acted as if he hadnt seen the three people at all. He sat with Daisy Zane on the double sofa and exined directly: Weve agreed to start the operation at 9 0clock. Third Master! Thomas Firway called him. Kevin rk nced at him. Without saying a word, Thomas Firway immediately behaved himself and even shrank on the sofa, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible. Actually, not only was Thomas Firway confused, but both Allonzo Hobson and Michael Jackson couldnt understand why Kevin rk would bring Daisy Zane here at this time and tell her all this information. However, Kevin rk always had his reasons for doing things, and despite their doubts, neither of them spoke up. Turning his head, Kevin continued, Since the brick factory is in Red Cliff Vige, the police recently conducted an investigation there. Daisy Zane looked at him. They asked them if anything unusual had happened in the vigetely. As Kevin spoke, he took some pistachios from the tea table and cracked them open. He then took out two tissues and put them on the table, cing the cracked pistachios on top. In fact, the case of the brick factory had reached a dead end, so they started looking for a way out recklessly. Daisys gaze fell on Kevins hands as they cracked the pistachios. The address you saw is an abandoned courtyard whose owners had moved away more than 20 years ago. It has been deserted ever since., Kevin rk said, But suddenly, for several nights in a row, there were soundsing from the courtyard with tire tracks right outside the courtyard. However, there was nothing unusual during the day. Someone heard the noises at night and sneaked out to take a look, saying that they saw a few ck-clothed people entering and going out from there. The vigers were scared. They didnt dare to take a look or call the police. They were afraid of retaliation. It wasnt until the police questioned them that they finally spoke. So you investigated the owner of the courtyard? Daisy Zane asked. Yes, Kevin replied softly, At first, they just went to the courtyard to take a look, and there were indeed signs that people had gone in. However, there was nothing particrly unusual, just some traces of people entering and exiting. So, they looked up the owner of the courtyard directly. Daisy couldnt help but admire Kevins thinking. He was not blindly looking for a way out of the dead end; he had a basis for his actions. Although Red Cliff Vige may not be the only ce like this, its a bustling cepared to other viges. Even if the brick factorys location is hidden and the brick factory itself acts as a cover, it is not the best choice. Even if the most dangerous ces are the safest, there is too much poption movement here, and it is easy to be noticed. So choosing Red Cliff Vige had its own special reasons. ording to the information on the household registration at the time, the person they found was consistent with the information provided by the neighbors. However, this person did not move away more than 20 years ago; he disappeared. He disappearedpletely, and there were no traces of him left.  Either he died, or he had a new identity and is still living, Daisy Zane said. Allonzo Hobson couldnt help but nce at Daisy Zane. Her voice was terribly cold, so cold that she seemed to have a heart of steel and no emotions. Moreover, the thought process of an ordinary person would not be like this. And this person is a Doctor of Medical Formtion, Kevin continued, The main thing is that the people in the vige dont know that they have such a high level of education.  What about his family? He grew up with his aunt. Before moving away, he left arge sum of cash for his aunt, and then they lost contact. Are they looking for something, or deliberately trying to draw you guys there? Daisy Zane immediately addressed the key point. Both Michael Jackson and Thomas Firway looked at her. Thetter seems more likely, Kevin raised his eyebrows. . So, tonight you guys are going for a head-on confrontation.  Yes, Kevin answered, If they still go there tonight. Daisy Zane: . So, Daisy, you should know that what you did just now was very dangerous, Kevins voice became a bit more serious.  Daisy nced at him without saying a word, picked up a cracked pistachio, put it in her mouth, and ate it slowly.  But Kevin could tell from her expressionless face that she was thinking: Its not yet clear who is in danger. These pistachios are quite delicious. Kevin rk: They really are delicious. Kevin, speechless, finally smiled: Well, theyre all for you. Ill bring a few bags to the film set tomorrow.   Allonzo Hobson, Michael Jackson, and Thomas Firway: I didnt intend to keep it from you, Kevin exined, I nned to tell you after tonight.  The other three people had puzzled expressions on their faces, still unable to understand why Kevin had shared this information with her. Especially Thomas Firway, his gaze made it clear that he thought Daisy Zane was a dangerous woman, who had caused Kevin to cross the line and tell her about the important matters. Daisy looked up at Kevin again. He didnt have to tell her all this. It was her who had secretly checked his cell phone. As if he had seen through her thoughts, Kevin smiled and said, You can check my cell phone at any time. I wont change the password. Upon hearing this, Allonzo Hobson couldnt help but twitch his lips. In all his years, he had never seen Kevin this capable before.. Chapter 65 - 65: Mysterious Woman Chapter 65: Mysterious Woman Trantor: 549690339 Michael Jackson, you stay behind. At 8:50, when Kevin rk was about to set off, he said these words. Everyone was taken aback, especially Michael Jackson. However, he didnt dare to argue with Kevin rks words and just stood there without a word. Arthur North, youre not going to bring Lady Zane with you, are you? Allonzo Hobson asked. Yes. Third Master, how can you bring her along? Shes a woman. Thomas Firway said, Its dangerous tonight, bringing her will slow us down Kevin rk looked at him, and with just a nce, Thomas Firway felt an immense pressure, and the following words got stuck in his throat. However, even though he didnt say it out, his expression clearly showed his disagreement. He didnt approve. If you think shes going to slow you down, you can stay behind and let Michael Jackson follow us. Kevin rk spoke slowly. Michael Jackson, standing behind Thomas Firway, subtly poked his waist with his finger. Getting the hint, Thomas Firway nced at Daisy Zane and lowered his head, saying, Third Master, I was wrong. Kevin rk ignored him and moved straight to the entrance. As Daisy Zane passed by Thomas Firway, she stopped in front of him, looking triumphant and challengingly raised her eyebrows. She just fell short of saying: Im deliberately following along to slow you all down. Thomas Firway was dumbstruck. If it wasnt for Michael Jackson patting his head, he might have been steaming with anger on the spot. Arthur North, you know how dangerous this trip will be. Allonzo Hobson walked beside Kevin rk, speaking softly, Youll let Lady Zane face this danger? Can you bear it? I cant. Huh? Allonzo Hobson felt that there was a trap in his smile. But I wont stop her from doing what she wants. Hmm? Allonzo Hobson didnt quite understand the meaning of these words, but he was sure that the final expression of Kevin rk was to despise him. The four of them went to the hotels parking lot together and got in the car. Thomas Firway drove, Allonzo Hobson was in the copilots seat, and Daisy Zane and Kevin rk were in the back. As the car left the parking lot, Allonzo Hobson opened the cars center console and handed Kevin rk a paper bag. Inside the bag was a gun, which Kevin rk took out and ced behind his back directly. Allonzo Hobson said, Arthur North, there wont be another encounter with that person tonight, right? Kevin rk didnt make a sound but nced at Daisy Zane instead. Daisy Zane appeared indifferent, clearly uninterested in the person Allonzo Hobson was referring to. That person could snatch a gun from your hand; doesnt that mean I stand no chance? Allonzo Hobson said with worry. Yes, shes very powerful. Kevin rk said, Im sure you cant beat her. Suddenly, Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk, running into his smiling gaze: . Damn, Im suddenly a bit nervous. Allonzo Hobson said, Im afraid that person will steal my stuff. Daisy Zane: . They wont try to steal me, will they? Allonzo Hobson continued, his words derailing, Im so handsome and charming; what if they take a fancy to me and steal me away? Should I wear a mask to cover my handsome face? Show some shame. Kevin rk said. Im serious Dont worry, she wont. Daisy Zane abruptly interrupted him. Allonzo Hobson immediately stopped talking. It wasnt that Kevin rk had no deterrent effect on him; after all, they had known each other since they were in diapers. But Daisy Zanes cold attitude was genuinely intimidating. At some point, he had an instinctive fear of her. After driving for half an hour, they stopped on a street inside Red Cliff Vige. They got out of the car and walked. Using the street where they parked as a dividing line, Red Cliff Vige was divided into east and west sides. The eastern side was mostly new two or three C story buildings. On the west side, however, there were mostly older houses. The residents were older as well. As they aged, people always developed feelings for their old homes. After a ten-minute walk, they stopped in front of a courtyard. There was a seven-seatermercial vehicle parked conspicuously at the entrance without license tes. F* ** so bold. Xavier Dominic said, So obviously waiting for us to show up. And theyve got more people. What should we do? Call for backup or Before he could finish speaking, Daisy pushed open the gate. A vein popped on Xaviers forehead. You! Thomas Firway felt like she was here to make trouble. Kevin rk grinned: Lets face them directly. Entering the courtyard, Daisy finally understood what Kevin rk meant by abandoned for many years. The courtyard was vast, with grass taller than people. Alright, only taller than her, not the other three people. There was a path in the middle, clearly trampled out recently. Kevin rk stayed close to her, guarding against anyone suddenly rushing out and her getting scratched by the grass on the side. As they approached the entrance of the house, the door opened. Xavier Dominic and Thomas Firways hands were instantly on the guns behind their waists. People came out of the house and stood outside. Xavier Dominic counted C a full ten people. They were all wrapped up tightly, dressed entirely in ck, with even their hands covered and wearing a solid ck mask on their faces. The leader was a shorter woman, with a high ponytail. Damn, theyre going over-capacity. Third Master, you indeed have courage. A womans voice said, You havent disappointed me, though youre a bitter than I expected. There was no reaction from the three of them, but at the sound of the voice, Daisys loose fingers suddenly trembled a little. Enough with the false ttery. Kevin rk gripped Daisys hand and gave it a squeeze, You went to great lengths to lure me here, what do you want to do? The womanughed: Of course, I want to kill you. Xavier Dominic and Thomas Firway both tightened their grips on their guns as their faces grew darker. It took us years to build the ce, and Third Master destroyed it overnight. The woman said, The report we collected gradually, Third Master took away. A rival like Third Master, of course, its better to get rid of him early. Do you think you can insult people like that just because there are a few of you? There are ten of us, and only four of you. The woman said, I knew Third Master woulde and not bring many people. Because you are too eager to see us, you want to learn things from us. Afraid to scare us away. No, youre wrong. Even with just four of us, we can handle you all. What she said indeed reflected Kevin rks concerns, but he also had confidence in himself and his people. If they brought too many people, they would be detected. Likewise, if the other side brought too many people, they would naturally be detected as well. Under no agreement, both sides had settled on bringing just one car. However He didnt expect the opponents car to be bigger and overloaded. Youre too arrogant. Youre the overconfident one. Really? Lets give it a try. The woman finished speaking and gently waved her hand. The people behind her immediately rushed over. Instinctively, Kevin rk moved Daisy behind him, but she charged out from the other side as soon as she was ced behind him,nding a kick on their opponents wrist. Just like that, both groups were fighting. Its worth mentioning that each of their ten opponents was formidable. Even though Kevin rk and Daisy were both strong, it took them some time to gain the upper hand. Even more so since Daisy seemed a little off today. She was focusing on defense more than offense and kept moving closer to the woman, her maneuvering crafty. Kevin rk wanted to go to her side to protect her but couldnt keep up with her repositioning. Finally, after dodging, Daisy squared off against the woman. This womans strength was far greater than that of Lucias underlings. After exchanging a move, Daisy could feel it. Or maybe she knew it all along. However, Daisy still didnt show her true skill, but took the opportunity while striking to fiercely yank the womans hair. A very underhanded move. The woman was clearly shocked and angered by Daisy, and her next move was even more ruthless. However, when the woman reached out to strike, Daisy moved her face under the womans hand, letting her scrape off her mask. The night was ck, lit only by the dim streetmp. At first, the woman did not pay much attention to Daisy, and didnt even look at her properly. Especially after feeling how weak Daisy was, she didnt see her as a threat. But when the mask was removed, the woman saw Daisys face crystal clear. A face so stunning that it stood out even in the dark, a face that she would never forget in her life. The punch the woman wanted to throw was immediately withdrawn. And even when a man on the side struck Daisy, the woman kicked him away. Chapter 66 - 66: Enigma Starry Chapter 66: Enigma Starry Trantor: 549690339 Youre still alive. The woman suddenly moved closer to Daisy Zane, speaking in a sinister tone. Daisy Zane sneered, looking at her eyes flightily, without saying a word. You heartless wretch. The woman cursed at her. Whats the point of cursing. The smile on Daisy Zanes face became more prominent, eerie. If you have the guts, kill me. You must dream of seeing me dead. As soon as she finished speaking, Daisy Zanes wrist was grabbed, while the woman released her at once, avoiding Arthur Norths attack, retreating a few steps back. Daisy Zane smelled the scent of Eaglewood, her expression quickly returned to normal. Are you alright? Arthur North looked at her. Im fine. Daisy Zane shook her head, kicking away someone nearby. Be careful. After saying that, Arthur North let go of her to confront the woman. After that, Daisy Zane became a bit more serious in fighting, but still intentionally hid her true strength. Not long afterwards, the opponents were losing. After taking down two people, Daisy Zane went to find Arthur North. She felt that if she didnt interfere, Arthur North might kill that woman soon. Therefore, Daisy Zane picked out a man next to the woman, after engaging him for a couple of moves, she deliberately let him kick her. She retreated several steps, directly bumping into Arthur North. Arthur North didnt have time for anything else and first steadied her. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the woman, noting that almost all her own people had been taken down, grabbed the man next to her by the wrist, and said: Retreat. Quick. The man immediately retreated to the house with the woman. The courtyard gate faced south, and there was a north-facing door inside the house, they could escape from there. Dont chase. Daisy Zane held Arthur Norths hand and crouched down with the flow. What happened? Are you hurt? Arthur North quickly bent over as well. Seizing this chance, the two escaped swiftly. I feigned it. Daisy Zane held Arthur Norths hand and used a bit of force. Arthur North immediately understood, she was deliberately letting them escape. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she even feigned injury, deliberately making the other side believe that he did not pursue them because Daisy Zane was injured, hence no time to chase them. He did not chase them, but Allonzo Hobson and Thomas Firway did. However, the two were back within 5 minutes. Exiting the north door of this house, theres a path leading to a dried-up water channel full of weeds. Passed the channel is a forest. The trees obscured the views and the grass was high, with the night being dark and the wind strong, once a person went in, there waspletely no trace to be found. Just the two of them searching was like finding a needle in a haystack, so the two returned first. When they came back, Daisy Zane was sitting on a big stone looking at her cell phone. Arthur North was on the phone, asking for people toe over and take away the ones who had fallen in the courtyard. Seeing Daisy Zane leisurely ying with her cell phone, Thomas Firways anger burned away hisst bit of reason: Daisy Zane, youre in league with them! You deliberately let them escape! Thomas Firway. Allonzo Hobson pulled at him. She is. That woman was so afraid of anyone hurting her, she even hit her own people. If shes not in cahoots with them, then what is she! Why protect her so much if not in cahoots! Allonzo Hobson didnt know what to say because he had seen it too. Further provoked by this, Thomas Firway got even angrier: You came here on purpose, to create chaos. You deliberately got close to our Third Master, you mmph mmph mmph Before he could finish, Allonzo Hobson covered his mouth. Because he saw the terrifying gloom on Arthur Norths face, who was on the phone not far away. He had not seen Arthur North so intimidating in a long time. If Thomas Firway kept talking, he was sure that nobody present would get away unharmed. When Arthur North got angry, it was no less than the end of the world. Thomas Firways eyes were red with fury. Eventually, Daisy Zane also looked up from her cell phone screen to nce at Thomas Firway: If I was really on their side, do you think you would still be alive? As soon as she finished speaking, Arthur North walked over. From beginning to end, he did not say anything or ask any questions. He was not a person who was driven by emotions, but on such an important matter, he chose to trust her unhesitatingly. Daisy Zane handed her cell phone to Arthur North. Arthur North took it and noticed a map on the screen, with a red dot moving on it. He raised an eyebrow slightly. I suggest deploying more manpower. Daisy Zanes voice was colder than usual.. Chapter 67 - 66: Enigma Starry_2 Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Enigma Starry_2 Trantor: 549690339 Allonzo Hobson covered up Thomas Firways mouth and came over for a nce. Seeing the moving red dot on the cell phone, he was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Daisy Zane, What the fuck? This is insane. With their speed, theyll be out of this forest in half an hour at the fastest. Daisy Zane said, Half an hour for deployment. Xavier, call the Director Giovanni, Kevin rk looked at Thomas Firway, his voice lowering, Thomas, bring all your people. Both men started making phone calls, and Kevin rk rubbed Daisy Zanes head, Daisy, dont be mad. Daisy Zane nced at him and ignored him. Kevin rks mouth twitched, It was tough to determine the route taken by the two people in the forest with their multiple turns. To avoid wasting effort, they had to deploy on every road and pursue the two after they left the forest. Forty minutester, the pair left the forest. Kevin rk and his team immediately chased after them in cars. The location of the duo paused for fifteen minutes, then their speed picked up, probably because a car had picked them up. Thomas Firways car raced fast along the rough road, bouncing a bit inside. After a while, he couldnt help but ask, Why release the woman instead of the others? She must know more than the others. Daisy Zane looked at the back of his head, didnt really want to pay attention to him, but couldnt help it. Capturing that woman is no different than capturing a corpse. She wont reveal anything. As for the others, little thugs. Do you think they could even meet their boss? You understand capture the thief to capture the king? Daisy Zane spoke slowly. Young man, think a little more. If your brain doesnt move, itll rust. You Thomas Firway kept his mouth shut, stayed silent for a moment, and muttered, How do you know the woman can see their boss? How do you know shes going to meet her boss? When told to think, he really thought right away. Daisy Zane ignored him, not wanting to talk further. Just drive the car, Kevin rk spoke to block Thomas Firways follow-up questions. Thomas Firway swallowed his words, Yes. Deep in the bamboo forest, a car stopped in a courtyard. The two-story building had white walls, gray tiles, and intricate window carvings. The area was small but very elegant. Surrounding it was the bamboo forest, with no other inhabitants. Both the man and the woman exited the car, with ck masks on. They hurried into the small building and went straight to the second floor. After knocking on the door and hearing the person inside allow them in, they pushed open the door. The room was simple without any decorations. Apparently, no one lived there regrly, as even the cab and sofa were covered with dust covers. A man stood by the window, dressed in a well-fitted ck suit, wearing a ck mask that only covered the upper half of his face, revealing a beautiful chin and thin lips. Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, he lightly touched the ring on his right thumb with his index finger. His thin lips parted slightly, Did you fail? Yes, the woman replied. The man was not surprised, touching his ring and saying, I told you long ago that Kevin rk is not easy to deal with, and I asked you not to take him lightly. You understand his strength now; do you know what to do next time? Yes, the womans voice was respectful. Failure is not necessarily a bad thing; its time to dampen your spirits. Dont be arrogant and attribute every failure to the opponents good luck. The man continued, Kevin rks strength is far more than this. Hes calctively cunning and never fights unprepared battles. He already had you figured out. Its not that big of a deal. If it werent for Alice Eugene being scared, we might have seeded this time. The man beside the woman suddenlyined, Eugene messed with Kevin rks people, totally disrupting our rhythm. Shut up. Alice Eugene said sternly. Oh? Really? The curiosity grew in the mans voice by the window, Our usually cold-blooded Alice Eugene also showed mercy to people. Its quite rare. What happened? Alice Eugene red at the man beside her and leaned forward slightly, honestly replying, It was Daisy. I met her. Hearing the words Daisy, the man standing by the window paused, touching the ring on his finger. Two secondster, he quickly stepped beside Alice Eugene and kicked the man beside her to the ground. Then he stepped on the fallen mans hand, and a sharp sound of bone fracturing filled the room. The man on the ground groaned. The man exerted more force and then spoke, his voice no longer gentle but gloomy, You touched her! Alice Eugene stepped back, her head lowered, not daring to breathe heavily. Deep in her eyes, along with fear and hatred, there was also jealousy. I, I didntreally, I didnt! Really? Alice Eugenes head lowered even more, He didnt touch her. I stopped it. The man lifted his foot off the mans hand and walked towards the window, looking down at the ring on his index finger. The silver ring bore a distinctive totem, seemingly chaotic, but the letters YH were discernible. It was an abbreviation for Enigma Starry. After a while, the mans voice sounded again, and he turned to look at Alice Eugene, Is she with Kevin rk? Yes, Alice Eugene replied. With a hint of indulgence and darkness in his tone, the man suddenly chuckled, Shes really naughty. Alice Eugene dared not speak. All right, get out of here. Yes. After replying, Alice Eugene went to help the man on the ground. However, as soon as she bent over, the mans voice rang out once more, Dont move. Alice Eugene immediately froze. The man walked over to her, leaned down, and picked up an incredibly small ck object resembling a button from her hair. Then, looking at Alice Eugene, he asked, Whats this? A tracker? The object blended with her hair, but the man spotted it right away. Alice Eugenes pupils shrank, and she fell to her knees, I-I it was Lucia, she pulled my hair. The man looked at her, and Alice Eugene kept her head down, not daring to look up. A drop of sweat fell to the floor within seconds. But after a few seconds, the man straightened up. Alice Eugene suddenly exhaled a breath of relief. He held the tracker, smiling and saying, Little Enigma has grown up, starting to help outsiders deal with her elder brother.. Chapter 68 - 67: Don ‘t Be Angry Anymore Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Don t Be Angry Anymore Trantor: 549690339 Action. It was past one in the early morning, and sixteen minutes had passed since the tracker stopped moving. They had been there for about three minutes now. Kevin rks men surrounded the entire courtyard from the outside. At the sound of his order, the voice transmitted through earpieces, and everyone moved in at once. It didnt take long for them to search the courtyard, and when they entered the ground floor they began searching each room. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane went straight upstairs. On the top floor was a single room, with its entrance directly across from the staircase. Daisy went upstairs and immediately kicked open the door to the room. As he tried to enter, Kevin pulled her back, entered the room first, and Daisy followed close behind. After that, Michael Jackson and Allonzo Hobson also entered the room. The four of them checked every possible hiding ce in the room and found no clothes, let alone any people. If it wasnt for the footsteps in the courtyard and the fact that there wasnt even any dust inside the house, they couldnt be sure anyone had ever been there. Third Master, theres no one on the first floor, Thomas Firway reported. Daisy went to the window and stood there for a while, then fully opened the half-drawn curtains. On the edge of the windowsill, an empty wine ss sat on top of a note, with the tracker beside it. With one hand holding the wine ss, Daisy pulled the note out with the other. Written on it was: See youter. There was a time noted: 00:56 And another word below: Yan (Inkstone). Seeing the note, Kevin and the others couldnt help but check the current time. It was 1:05 now. No one spoke. Allonzo, Thomas, and Michael immediately turned and left the room. Soon, their voices could be heard from downstairs, ordering others to search the bamboo forest and block all nearby roads. They had reached the outskirts of the bamboo forest at one oclock, which meant that whoever was in the courtyard had left four minutes before they arrived. The person must have been aware of the tracker and decided to flee. Daisy looked at the note in her hand, clearly a provocation, or perhaps a warning to her. For a moment, she clenched the note in her palm. At the same time, her hand pressing on the wine ss crushed it. Kevin furrowed his brow, and immediately grabbed her wrist to pull her hand away. Her middle and ring fingers were pierced by the broken ss, and fresh blood dripped onto the floor. Daisy looked the same as usual, but Kevin could sense her suppressed emotions. Thats why he stayed with her instead of going down. But he didnt expect her to hurt herself so badly. Feeling the pain, Daisy sobered up and managed to maintain control. Maybe it wasnt just the pain, but also the warmth of Kevins palm that calmed her down. Kevin hurriedly pulled her downstairs, left the courtyard, walked a considerable distance, and got in the car. He moved so fast that Daisy almost couldnt keep up. He found a medical kit in the car, told Daisy to sit in the copilots seat, and then stood outside the car. He also turned on the light on his cellphone and told her to hold it for illumination. Daisy looked at Kevin. Kevin was frowning, his usually gentle eyes now filled with anger, which was quite scary. He carefully held her hand in one hand and used a tweezer in the other to slowly pull the broken ss out of her fingers. Then she saw Kevins frown deepen. She looked down to see that after he had pulled out the ss, her fingers began to bleed again. Kevin pressed his lips together without speaking, and disinfected, medicated, and wrapped her fingers in gauze. Well Daisy tried to find a way tofort him. She didnt have much experience in calming someone down, but she cautiously said, Dont be mad anymore. Finally, Kevin looked up at Daisy. Um that ss was just really low quality, I didnt even push hard, Daisy awkwardly exined. Kevin rk watched her for a while, and couldnt resist flicking her forehead, There are quite a few reasons. Daisy Zane wanted to say Its a fact, but thought better of it and remained silent. Seeing her not rebutting, Kevin rk didnt dwell on this issue, his expression slightly better. The two were silent for a while, thinking about people searching the surroundings. After a while, Daisy Zane said, I was wrong. If I hadnt ced the tracker and caught the woman instead, even if we couldnt get anything out of her, we would have eliminated a strong opponent and broke one of their wings. This step was too risky. You were not wrong, Kevin rk said, If I knew I could catch the person behind the creation of the 319 drug, I would have done the same. Not capturing them is not a result of a strategic issue; theres a certain amount of luck involved. They found the tracker and retreated in time. Kevin rks wording was very interesting, deliberately emphasizing the words person behind the creation of 319. Daisy Zane, of course, knew he was doing it on purpose, but she didnt rebut and Instead epted lt. She knew that with Kevin rks brain, he must have realized that the woman knew her. And she was so sure that following the woman would lead to their master. He must have also guessed that she had some rtionship with the mastermind behind it all. If Thomas Firway could see through it, how could he not know? Its just that she didnt say it, and he didnt ask, just choosing to trust her. But his deliberate emphasis on the person behind 319 was probably to confirm whether her so-called master and creator of 319 were the same person. So she epted it. Alice Eugene always took orders only from that man, and she always apanied him. So wherever Alice Eugene was, that man must be there as well. Given that mans character, he always wanted to be in control of everything. He wouldnt run errands in such a ce for someone else, so there wouldnt be any cooperation between him and others. He must be the one leading the 319 drug. In fact, if it hadnt been for encountering Alice Eugene today, Daisy Zane wouldnt have known that the 319 drug was rted to that man. She should have noticed it long ago. That man had been spending every day in theboratory, and every time he visited her, he carried the smell of elixir. And 319, 319 if she had it calcted correctly. It should have been March 19th that year. That man picked her up The drug she had worked so hard to investigate and that man turned out to be the same person So that incident also happened because of her, it was she who caused the death of Lucia? Lucia Daisy Zane suddenly came back to her senses when she heard Kevin rks voice and looked at him. Whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, pressed her temples, and said, Its nothing; Im probably just a little tired. Sleep in the car for a while? Or should I take you home first? Let me sleep for a while. In case theres news. Alright. Kevin rk reclined his seat a bit, covered her with his coat, and then rubbed her head, saying, Sleep. Daisy Zane closed her eyes, and amidst the jumble of thoughts in her mind, she gradually fell asleep. She had a dream about that man. In her dream, that man was sitting by her bed, but she couldnt see his face clearly. She heard his gentle voice, Lets name it Enigma Starry. Enigma Starry? Yes, Enigma Starry refers to Mars, the man said patiently, My name has a Yan character in it, which belongs to the Earth element in the five elements. Enigma Starry is of the Fire element, and fire generates earth. At this point in the dream, Daisy Zane suddenly awoke. She opened her eyes, and after a moment, she realized that the sky was already bright, with a grayish hue. She had been sweating heavily, and the clothes inside were wet. Chapter 69 - 68: Getting into Trouble Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Getting into Trouble Trantor: 549690339 The car window was knocked on a few times, as soon as Daisy Zane looked at the hand, she knew it was Kevin rk. She sat up and adjusted the seat back to its original position, then lowered the car window. The cool morning air made her shiver involuntarily. Why are you sweating so much? Kevin rk furrowed his brow. I had a dream. Daisy Zane took a few tissues from the armrest box to wipe the sweat on her forehead and neck, Any news? Nothing. Kevin rk said, The whole bamboo forest was searched thoroughly, and all the traffic arteries are being checked, but theres no news. Daisy Zanes fingers curled up a bit, the result was within expectations. Four minutes was enough for him to escape. But she always wanted to hold on to some hope, just as she insisted on going to Truro City, holding on to that little bit of hope, hoping that Johanes Miles knew something about her grandma. Breakfast. Kevin rk handed the breakfast through the car window, Its from a nearby town, I went to their kitchen and it looked quite hygienic. Have something to eat. Daisy Zane took the soy milk and soup dumplings: You went to their kitchen? Yeah, I saw the ingredients, the meat filling and all that. I checked several ces before I found this satisfactory one. Kevin rk said, I also watched them make and steam it. Daisy Zane lifted the lid of soy milk and took a sip, then looked at him and said, Did no one really try to hit you? Kevin rkughed, They probably thought I looked too fierce to mess with. Indeed, Kevin rks appearance was both enchanting and aristocratic. It looked good, but when he was expressionless, he seemed quite intimidating. Third Master rk had enjoyed a luxurious childhood, and was not familiar with the ways of the world, so Daisy Zane could somewhat understand. She was different, she could eat anything. She even ate tree bark, earthworms as long as it didnt poison her to death, she could eat it. After Daisy Zane finished breakfast, Kevin rk drove her back. Waiting for the news in any ce was the same. However, he originally wanted to take her back to the hotel for some rest. But Daisy Zane insisted on going to the film set, so in the end, he drove her there. Upon arrival at the film set, he didnt linger for long. He told her some things to pay attention to, then left in his car. Throughout the day, Daisy Zane was quite normal, diligently working on the film,municating with the director and George Dunn. She didnt talk much but was serious about everything she did. When Anisa Cooper spoke to her, she responded. There was no difference from her usual self, and it didnt show that she hadnt had a good rest the night before. It seemed as ifst nights incident hadnt affected her at all. It wasnt until the next morning when Kevin rk came to deliver her breakfast that he noticed something was wrong. Daisy Zane had a low fever. Thest time she had a fever, her eyes were red and her lip color was slightly darker than usual. This time her eyes were not red, but Kevin rk could tell something was wrong at first nce. Kevin rk thought she caught a cold in the forest or that her fever was caused by an infection from the wound on her finger. However, after taking her pulse, he found it was caused by excessive heart fire due to emotional agitation. In simple terms, it was a low fever caused by severe emotional fluctuations. Daisy Zane was used to wrapping herself in a cold and calm facade, appearing as if nothing was wrong, but her body truly reacted. And this feversted for three days. Daisy Zane didnt feel much, and even during these three days, she kept filming. She didnt mind at all. But Kevin rk was heartbroken, yet powerless to help. It was her emotional knot, she didnt want to talk about it, and he couldnt do anything about it. All he could do was stay with her on the film set, preparing her cooling foods and herbal soups, and carefully taking care of her every day. It wasnt until her fever receded, and after observing her for two more days and confirming no rpse, that Arthur North returned to Truro City. Then he went back to the Imperial Capital to handle the piled-up matters. Time passed, and by mid-November, the weather had be increasingly cold. Alice Eugene and their people had been out of touch since then. Daisy Zane thought it was likely they were no longer in the country. Arthur North had also been busytely, and he hadnt been to the film set for a long time. However, hed been calling Daisy Zane every day, and sometimes they would video chat. Gradually, these things seemed to have be a habit. On the 23rd of November, the shooting in Red Cliff Vige waspleted for the drama crew. The next shooting location was in Truro Film City. Which meant that if there was note-night filming, Daisy Zane could go back to the Evesting Pce to stay, avoiding hotels. On the third day of filming in Truro Film City, Daisy Zane started shooting the scenes where she was performing on stage. So that involved applying opera makeup. The makeup artists in the drama crew were not very skilled at opera makeup, and the director initially wanted to spend lots of money to hire a professional. However, it turned out that the makeup artist from the neighboring crew had worked on opera makeup in the Theatre Garden for three years. So they spent some money and borrowed the neighboring crews makeup artist. On the day of the makeup application, Daisy Zane was asked to arrive at six oclock in the morning. So she and Anisa Cooper set off from the Evesting Pce before five oclock. As a result, they waited in the public makeup room until past eight oclock, but Daisy Zane didnt receive any notice about her makeup application. Anisa Cooper first asked about it at six fifty, and the director said the makeup artist hadnt arrived yet. The second time she asked was at eight ten. After being away for more than ten minutes, Anisa Cooper came back with a handprint on her face. At that time, Daisy Zane was browsing the 24 sr terms on her phone, and after many days, she finally confirmed the design draft content. Daisy, the makeup artist has arrived and asked you toe over, Anisa Cooper spoke in a normal tone. Daisy Zane replied, then closed her phone and stood up. She nced at Anisa Cooper, who was staring at the ground. Anisa Coopers hair reached her shoulders, but she always tied it up when working. However, this morning she had tied it up before leaving, and it had nowe undone. Look up. Anisa Cooper bit her lip without moving. Daisy Zane directly gripped Anisa Coopers chin and lifted her face. Her hair automatically slid back, revealing the red mark on her right cheek. Daisy Zane extended her index finger and hooked the hair back. A very clear handprint. Who hit you? Anisa Coopers eyes were red, and although there were no tears initially, as soon as Daisy Zane spoke, the tears started falling, and her mouth trembled. Speak up. Who hit you? Thethe makeup artist, Anisa Cooper wiped her tears and cried, He went to the restroom, and I was waiting outside makeup room 1 for him. But when he came back, he used me of stealing his ring. Daisy, I didnt steal it; I didnt even go in the makeup room when there was no one there. Daisy Zane put her phone in her pocket, her eyebrows furrowing in irritation. He alsoalso took my ring away. He said it was his, and then he pped me. In a grievance-like manner, Anisa Cooper continued, That ring was what I bought, intending to use it for my engagement with my boyfriend. So you just stood there and let him p you? And came back without saying a word? Anisa Cooper sniffed, I was afraid of causing trouble for you. I wantedwanted to wait until after the makeup was done to say something. Daisy Zane looked at her for a while, and then chuckled lightly before turning around and walking out, Well, trouble has been caused.. Chapter 70 - 69: Revenge for Enmity Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Revenge for Enmity Trantor: 549690339 Ever since Lilian Lopez left their drama crew, only George Dunn had a separate makeup room. The rest were shared. The number one Makeup Room was cleared out by the director yesterday, as requested by the makeup artist, stating the need for a separate room. When Daisy Zane arrived, the door to the makeup room wasnt tightly closed, leaving a small gap. A very unfamiliar male voice was ranting inside, while the directors assistant was apologizing. Many spectators gathered outside and when they saw Daisy Zane approaching, they moved back a little, but their gossip craving did not allow them to leave. Daisy nced at the CCTV camera in the top right corner and stood outside, listening for a while. Get your director over here! I need to see him! The man yelled while pinching his throat, I only came here because of your director. Otherwise, I wouldnt bother doing makeup for a neer. Do you know that my hands have touched top-tier celebrities? Yes, yes, please calm down. The director really cant make it right now. The assistant said, Maybe theres some misunderstanding. Misunderstanding? I saw her at my door, gripping this ring in her pocket. The man said, I caught her red-handed, theres no misunderstanding. Please calm down, we will deal with this matter. A bunch of lowlifes. Is it because youve never seen anything good that you cant resist grabbing something worth tens of thousands of USD? If shes really too poor to make ends meet, let her tell me, Ill help her. The directors assistant didnt say anything. Cheapskates are always cheapskates. Even with makeup, it cant hide their pathetic poverty look. The man continued to scold, If it werent for your directors sake, I wouldnt do her makeup today. Get her over here now! A neer putting on airs, making me wait. Does she know how precious my time is? How precious is it? If Im two minuteste, will the Earth stop spinning? Daisy Zane, with hands in her pockets, pushed the door open with her foot. Anisa Cooper followed behind her. After trying to persuade her unsessfully, Anisa prepared to protect Daisy if a fight broke out. She had a lot of meat on her body, so even if she couldnt win, shed take a beating. The makeup artist turned around when he heard the noises, and when he saw Daisy, he looked stunned. After sizing her up, he was amazed, This is Before the directors assistant could introduce her, Daisy cut him off: The one you were insulting. The makeup artist only noticed Anisa behind her, and his tone changed immediately: Oh, its you guys. Dont you know about punctuality? Assistants stealing, artists acting high and mighty, you guys are really something. Sit down quickly, I have to leave after I finish your makeup. Every extra minute I spend here, I feel its hard to breathe. Daisy didnt sit in front of the dressing table, she just grabbed a random chair and sat down. With her legs crossed, she tilted her chin at him, Are we going to talk about punctuality first? Or about stealing? What right do you have to talk to me? What do you think you are? The makeup artist retorted. Lets start with punctuality. Daisy ignored his words and went straight to the point, You told usst night toe at six oclock for makeup today, but you arrived past eight oclock. Thats your so-called punctuality. The makeup artist folded his arms and scoffed, confidently saying, I didnt even know you guys, I was just giving you a heads-up to be prepared. Daisy chuckled lightly, Okay, lets talk about stealing then. What did my assistant steal from you? The ring, caught red-handed! Do you still want to deny it? Daisy directly said, My assistant hadnt been in the makeup room, the outside CCTV can prove it. You can ask someone to check the surveince. The ring was bought by my assistant herself, please return it to her. Daisy purposely left the door open and now people watching the drama had gathered around the entrance. I caught her with the stolen item, why should I check the surveince? Is the surveince yours? You say check and its checked. The makeup artist said, Just admit you stole it. Admitting your mistake is not hard. I know people like you who havent seen much of the world, with dirty hands and love to take things. Im not even making a fuss about it, is admitting your mistake so hard? I didnt take it! Its the one I bought myself! Anisa yelled. Do you know how much this ring costs? You bought it? With those clothes youre wearing, can you afford it?! You, theres a receipt at my home. Chapter 71 - 69: Revenge for Enmity_2 Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Revenge for Enmity_2 Trantor: 549690339 Before Anisa could finish speaking, there were noises and people gasping and screaming at the entrance. They looked over and soon saw the director, along with Harton rk and Xavier Dominic at the entrance. Harton rk wore a ck trench coat, his figure tall and straight. He was so eye-catching just standing there. Upon seeing him, Daisys eyshes trembled slightly before her eyebrows hitched up. She showed no intention of getting up from her chair. Everyone else was standing, and she was the only one sitting. Harton rk gave her a smile. It had been more than half a month since theyd seen each other, and he felt his longing was about to overflow. These people might not recognize Harton rk, but it was impossible for them not to know Xavier Dominic. Young Master Hobson? The makeup artist was surprised for a moment before immediately putting on a fawning smile, stepping forward and saying, Young Master Hobson, what brings you here? Xavier Dominic walked into the makeup room and asked, I heard you lost something? After Anisa left with a p, the makeup artist immediately called the director toin about the matter. The director was upied, so he sent the assistant first. However, when the director finally had time toe over, Harton rk and Xavier Dominic arrived. They had already asked about Daisy and where she was, so the director told them about the situation on the way. Just now they were standing on the periphery, listening for a while. Many people were watching from outside, so Harton rk only walked a few steps into the room before stopping. He didnt approach Daisy but kept looking at her. Its not something valuable, The makeup artist said, smiling fawningly. Isnt it valuable? Daisy casually replied, People like us cant even afford it. Xavier Dominics mouth twitched, thinking of the box of gold bars and diamonds in Daisys house. Of course you guys cant afford it, The makeup artist replied, But for Young Master Hobson, those things are like sand. You country bumpkins cantpare. Do modern makeup artists alsock basic manners? Harton rk suddenly asked lightly. Xavier Dominicughed, This kind I guess they dont want to keep their careers. It took the makeup artist two seconds to realize what Xavier Dominic meant, and her legs wobbled, Young Master Hobson? What do you mean? Exactly what I said. After finishing his sentence impatiently, Xavier Dominic didnt want to speak anymore. At this moment, Michael Jackson brought aputer and ced it on the makeup table, Young Master Hobson, the corridor surveince. While pressing the y button, he exined, The surveince showed that Miss Cooper never entered the makeup room and was always waiting outside. No one entered the makeup room after the makeup artist left the makeup box and went to the washroom. The video yed, and there was another segment afterward. The makeup artist returned from the washroom, nced at Anisa, and probably asked her to call someone for makeup. Then the makeup artist went into the makeup room. However, shortly after entering, she came out and dragged Anisa, who had just left, back. Without saying anything, she immediately frisked Anisa, and after flipping the ring out of her pocket, she pped her face. The makeup artist, unwilling to ept, watched it again, How is this possible? She obviously took my ring! Thats my ring! I bought it for my engagement! I told you, but you didnt believe me. Anisa said. The makeup artist retreated a few steps, No way! What about my own ring? Wheres my ring?! We dont know where your ring is, replied Michael Jackson, So because you lost something, you want to steal someone elses? What kind of logic is that? How could someone like her afford a ring worth tens of thousands of USD! The makeup artist twisted her words. Im already this old. Is it difficult to save up tens of thousands of USD by living frugally? Anisa retorted in a low voice. Condemning voices came from the entrance, loud and chaotic. The director was annoyed and yelled at everyone to leave. Then he closed the door tightly. Are you going to return the item to her or not? Xavier Dominic asked, You even want to steal her engagement ring. The makeup artists face turned pale, and she stiffly took out a ck velvet box from her makeup box. Her fingers pinched the box so hard her knuckles turned white. By now, she had to understand that Xavier Dominic hade to help them. She didnt expect a woman who wore counterfeit clothes and an assistant whose clothes had turned white from excessive washing to have such strong backgrounds. Today, she took a huge fall. The makeup artist could stretch and shrink. Seeing the situation, she squeezed out a smile, walked up to Anisa, and handed her the ring, Im sorry, I misunderstood you. I hope you can forgive me. Anisa immediately took the ring, checked that it was fine, and carefully put it back in her pocket. She didnt respond to him. The makeup artist continued, Im sorry for my foul mouth and saying unpleasant things. I apologize to both of you. Daisy supported her temple, lifting her eyelid to look at him. Since Daisy didnt make a sound, Anisa didnt either. Of course, Harton rk and the others wouldnt say anything either, leaving the rest of the situation up to Daisys decision. I Ill be Lady Zanes makeup artist for free. You can use me for as long as you want. The makeup artist hoped to save her career with this offer. People like us cant afford you, Daisy said softly. I was just spouting nonsense, I You still owe my assistant a p, Daisy interrupted him, not wanting to hear more of his words. The makeup artist hesitated for a moment, then took a step towards Anisa with determination. Anisa, frightened, stepped back and looked to Daisy for guidance. Dont dirty my assistants hand, Daisy said, looking at her own fingertips. Harton rks mouth curved up. The little girl was like this, holding grudges and never showing mercy. The makeup artist paused for two seconds, pped herself lightly, then held her face in pain, nose souring from the p. The director and assistant were both startled. Xavier Dominic and Michael Jackson exchanged a silent nce, seeing admiration and respect for Daisy in each others eyes. But Daisy still hadnt moved. This time, without much hesitation, the makeup artist pped herself loudly on the other side. Now, both hands covered her face, and she was in so much pain that tears welled up. Daisy finally stood up without looking at him, If you have any objections to everything that has happened, you can either sue me or go to the police. After saying this, she walked to the entrance, ncing at Harton rk as she passed him. Harton rk immediately lowered his head and smiled, following her out of the makeup room.. Chapter 72 - 70: What’s the Matter? Chapter 72: Chapter 70: Whats the Matter? Trantor: 549690339 What a perfect match. Kevin rk hid behind a wall, peeking his head out and watched Arthur North and Daisy Zanes silhouettes standing outside. Seeing Arthur North take off his trench coat and put it on Daisy, Kevin clenched his fists and excitedly hit the wall. Hmm, they really are a perfect match. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, scaring Kevin. He quickly covered his mouth and looked back to see who it was. He saw that there were four people standing behind him: Allonzo Hobson, Michael Jackson, the director, and the directors assistant. Young Master Hobson, Director, Kevin said nervously. Youre bold, spying like this, Allonzo said, also peeking out at the scene, Well a handsome man and a beautiful woman. I, I just wanted to take a look, Kevin stammered. Allonzo looked at Kevins swollen face and didnt tease him any further. The director urged, Naomi, why dont you ask if the makeup artist is avable? The stage outside is set, but we cant film the scene without the makeup. I, I should ask? Kevin nced at Allonzo, Michael, and the director before hesitating. He saw all three nodding at him. The assistant, realizing what was happening, also nodded. I, I, I Kevin muttered, wanting to say he dared not. Third Master was so frightening. He was afraid to interrupt their time together. Dont worry. Youre Lady Zanes person; that man wont dare hurt you, Allonzo assured him. Really? Kevin asked skeptically. Yes, go ahead. Kevins mouth twitched. The words sounded like Go ahead! Go die! Even more frightened, Kevin carefully shuffled forward. He was only halfway there when Daisy and Arthur heard him and turned around to look. Startled, Kevin straightened up immediately. Whats wrong? Daisy asked him. Daisy, Kevin said, the director said that the stage is set up, but your makeup Daisy frowned slightly. She didnt want to use that makeup artist anymore, but who else could do her makeup? She couldnt let the whole drama crew dy their work for a day. Stage? A theater stage? Arthur asked while peeking behind the wall. He saw three heads hurriedly retracting. One retracted a little too slow. He didnt see a face, but based on the long, messy hair, it must be the director. Yes, Kevin replied when he heard Arthurs question, The makeup artist specializes in opera makeup, but after he arrived, he started nitpicking and making things difficult. Now Arthur nced at Daisy and noticed her pursed lips. Heughed and said, X-sister, are you worried? Daisy looked at him, her eyes cold. Dont worry, Im here, he smiled and said, I can do your makeup for you, professionally. From makeup to costume, I can help. Kevins eyes widened in surprise, looking at Arthur. Was he hallucinating? What did he just hear? Daisy was also briefly surprised, but her surprise quickly turned into a smile, Then Ill have to trouble Third Master. My pleasure. In Makeup Room One, only Arthur North and Daisy Zane were inside. Anisa Cooper wanted to go in and help, but Allonzo Hobson stopped her outside. The director was very worried. No matter how he looked at it, he didnt think the young man inside was someone who could do makeup. If they waited all day and couldnt film, wouldnt it be a waste of resources: Young Master Hobson, your friend in there, can he do it? Allonzo raised his hand to pat the directors shoulder but saw his messy hair and put his hand down and patted his shoulder instead. Do you know who it is inside? How could I know? The director asked nervously. It was strange how no one on the set ever called the young man Third Master or Arthur North, even though he had been there for five or six days. So the director never knew who he was, and he didnt even hear hisst name. He didnt dare to inquire too much, fearing that it might cause trouble. Hisst name is rk. The directors legs went weak, and he quickly leaned against the wall, still in shock. He knew the young man must be from a prestigious family, but he didnt expect him to be this important. No wonder even Allonzo Hobson was respectful towards him. Fortunately, he had always been earnest in his work and had never treated neers harshly, otherwise, he might be in the underworld waiting in line to drink Meng PO Soup right now. Is it Kevin rk or Third Master rk? Allonzo helped the director steady himself. Boss Wayne is his mother. The director nearly passed out. Third Master. He grew up in the Theatre Garden. Allonzo patted his directors back. Dont worry, hes definitely professional. You just go ahead and start filming. In the makeup room, Daisy Zane looked in the mirror and saw her face with its base makeup and couldnt help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She felt like a zombie and was too embarrassed, so she simply closed her eyes and urged, Hurry up. Alright. Arthur North replied, and then began to apply the red makeup. The red paint spread out from the corners of her eyes like a begonia flower blooming little by little. Third Master, my face is all real; you can use more force. Daisy Zane suddenly said. I know its all real. Arthur North replied with a smile, but his movements were still very gentle. Doing makeup was a very long process, and Daisy Zane was getting sleepy. Afraid that she would fall asleep, she randomly started a conversation: Has Third Master ever done makeup for himself? No, Arthur North said. After my mom gave up on the idea of me learning opera, she sent me backstage because I was so restless. However, Ive only ever done makeup for her, and no one else dared let me do theirs. Open your eyes and let me see. Daisy Zane opened her eyes. Arthur Norths fingertips pressed against her temples and lifted the corners of her eyes to check. Actually, Daisy Zanes eyes were already somewhat upturned, so it was rtively easy to do her eye makeup. Close your eyes so I can do the other one. Daisy Zane closed her eyes, and Arthur North couldnt help but smile at her rare obedience. After the eye makeup was done, all that was left were the eyebrows and lips. Arthur North bent down with his waist, one hand gently lifting her chin, and the other drawing her eyebrows, with a very focused expression. At first, Daisy Zane kept her eyes closed, but after a while, for some unknown reason, she opened them. Arthur Norths face was very close, so close she could see each of his long, thick, and slightly curled eyshes. Daisy Zane stared at his eyshes, somewhat entranced, and didnt even notice them trembling slightly. Arthur North pursed his lips, seemingly trying hard to hold back, before finally moving his gaze from her eyebrows to her eyes. His voice was a bit restrained, Daisy. This time, Daisy Zanesshes trembled slightly as she looked into his eyes. Hmm? Arthur North looked into her fearless eyes that met his gaze. For a moment, he sighed softly and smiled with a hint of helplessness. Lucia, if you keep staring at me like that, I might not be able to resist doing something not so good. Daisy Zane continued to look at him, a faint smile gradually appearing in her eyes. Then she raised her eyebrows yfully and teased, What thing? That provocative tone. Arthur North gritted his teeth, but no matter how much Daisy Zane provoked him, she seemed to know that he wouldnt really do anything to her, so she kept teasing: What thing? Arthur Norths index finger had been holding her chin up all this time without letting go. Seeing her like this, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly leaned in. He ced his thumb against the corner of her lips and gave her a light peck.. Chapter 73 - 71: I Am Innocent Chapter 73: Chapter 71: I Am Innocent Trantor: 549690339 Do you still need to ask? Arthur North let go of her chin, still leaning over to look at her, creating an oppressive atmosphere. Daisy Zane stared at him in astonishment. After a while, she finally realized that Arthur had kissed his own finger. She pursed her lips slightly and lowered her gaze, whispering, Third Master, youre not taking this seriously. Her voice was as cold as usual, showing no sign of emotion. If Arthur hadnt seen her blushing ear tips, he would have thought that Daisy wascking certain emotional capacity. What is it that Im not taking seriously? Arthur looked at her ears and decided to tease her, I can be more serious. Daisy frowned and looked up at him. Despite her heavy opera makeup, the chilliness in her gaze was noticeable. Arthurs smile froze, and he quickly admitted, I made a mistake. Seeing his pitiful and sincere expression, Daisy hesitated for a moment and thenughed gently. Arthur was relieved to see that she was not angry about his actions andughed along, Close your eyes, Ill do it seriously. After doing her makeup, Arthur called Anisa Cooper in to help herb her hair and wear the costume. It was past eleven oclock in the morning by the time they finished everything. During the process, the directors assistant secretly peeked three times. He thought no one noticed him, but in reality, his round head had already been discovered. So, after getting ready, Daisy immediately headed to the film set. When she arrived at the scene, the director was genuinely stunned. Daisys natural beauty was already captivating and eye-catching, a perfectbination of elegance and coldness. Now, with her opera makeup, her beauty was magnified. The original coldness was oveid with colors, making her look like a blooming begonia. Moreover, her temperament and bearing were unparalleled. The director was dumbstruck. It wasnt until he felt an invisible knife hanging over his neck that he suddenly came to his senses, withdrew his gaze, and cautiously nced at Arthur. Then he squeezed out an even uglier smile than crying. Arthur: The director was a detail-oriented person and willing to spend money on filming. The stage was built very professionally, almost a one-to-one reproduction of the stages seen in old photos. He was also very meticulous about each shot, especially today when Daisy was dressed so stunningly, his requirements went up a notch. They spent nearly two hours on just a few shots, going back and forth repeatedly. Arthur even offered some free guidance. A director had been hired, but it was clear that Arthurs skills were higher and his eye sharper. As the director strove to make Daisys Hannah Campbell character dazzle everyones eyes as soon as she appeared, he also felt heartache over the money spent on the makeup artist and guidance. It wasnt until after one oclock that Daisy was temporarily spared and allowed to eat. However, she had no appetite at all. Her waist belt was too tight, her headband was also tight, and her headpiece was heavy and stuffy In a nutshell, being an opera actress was too tough. Ill loosen your clothes a bit and tie them back up after youre done filming, said Arthur. Its alright, Daisy said, sitting up straight in her chair and fiddling with the red tassel on her costume, I might not be able to put my clothes back on after eating. It would be even more ufortable if they were tight. Then have some milk tea. Arthur inserted a straw and brought it to her lips. Michael Jackson and Allonzo Hobson had driven out earlier to buy a lot of food. Daisy took the tea and took a sip, only to hear Anisas voice next to her, Miss Zane, drink less, its high in calories. Although her voice was low, a few people nearby all looked over. Especially that look from Kevin rk, it was so fleeting, it made others feel ufortable. But Anisa Cooper persevered through the pressure, lowered her head, and continued, You gained two pounds after eatingst night. Daisy Zane: . Allonzo Hobson couldnt help but burst outughing first. Although you slimmed down again in the morning, Anisa whispered, But this is a warning, you have to be careful. Gaining weight will not look good on camera. And gaining and losing weight during a show is very noticeable. People will think your face is swollen. Daisy Zane didnt care much about her body, but she always paid great attention to her image. Robinson Scott had previouslymented on her: death is eptable, but it must be beautiful. Although its a bit exaggerated, Daisy put the milk tea back, and wiped the lipstick on the straw with a tissue paper. Kevin rk also chuckled and said, There will be a lot of physical activity during the shootingter, and the high calories will be burned off. You wont gain weight. No need. Daisy Zane said, Ill eat after we finish shooting. The director finished eating quickly and was now arranging the audience at the scene. Daisy Zane, feeling bored, sat in a chair and scrolled through some videos on her phone. As a result, five out of ten videos were of Amelia Miles dancing, or various inte celebrities showing support for her. Hill Dawson had said that Amelia Miles also wanted the Spotlight endorsement. Olivia Chester had been working hard to increase her poprity recently. You could tell that a lot of effort had been put into it. Suddenly, Kevin rks hand gently squeezed the back of her neck, Daisy Zane looked up at him but didnt say anything and continued scrolling through the videos on her phone. Soon, there was another video of Amelia Miles dancing. Daisy Zane initially wanted to swipe away, but a line in the video caught her attention. Amelia Miles dancing to Years is called Little Kiara. Daisy Zane couldnt help but watch the dance section she performed. Kevin rk, standing behind her, could see it naturally. Do you like it? Kevin rk knew she had a dance background but never asked about it. Daisy Zane didnt answer him, instead asking, Kiara is? Sophie Ortiz, Kevin rk said, from the Imperial Capitals Lane family, Mrs. Lane. A very powerful dancer and chairman of the Dance Association. The Lane family. Daisy Zane repeated. Years is one of Mrs. Lanes ssic works, Kevin rk said, pausing as if wanting to say more, but ultimately remaining silent. Daisy Zane watched the dance again and asked, I heard that the Leafeild and Lane families in Imperial City are equally matched and at odds. How do you guys get along? What do you think? I heard both of you want to destroy each other and be the most powerful family alone, Daisy Zane said calmly. Daisy, where do you hear these things? Kevin rkughed, Why are eight out of ten pieces of news fake? Which two are true? Daisy Zane turned her head up and looked at him, Third Master rks romantic exploits or his scandals? Kevin rk gently flicked her forehead, Did you do that on purpose? Because of the facial pieces from the opera, her face felt a bit tight, so she could only smile with pursed lips. Even though Kevin rk knew she did it on purpose, he still exined, Dont listen to those nonsense, I am innocent. Daisy Zaneughed even harder, and her headdress started to tremble with herughter. Kevin rk: Anisa Cooper, who was chatting with Allonzo Hobson and Michael Jackson not far away, couldnt help but smile when she saw this scene. She noticed that Daisy Zane seemed to smile a lot when she was with Third Master rk.. Chapter 74 - 72: Little Young Master Chapter 74: Chapter 72: Little Young Master Trantor: 549690339 Johanes Miles, what do you mean by this? Did I agree to this? Charles Hobson said as he threw a contract of equity transfer onto Johanes body. How dare you rummage through my study? So now Im not even allowed to look at things in your study, huh? Johanes rubbed his temples and sighed, Charles, can we please stop arguing? This is already giving me a headache. Cant you understand me just a little bit? Understand you? How am I supposed to understand you? Charles replied, The Miles Familys sess today is more than half due to my family. Yet, now you want to give away a portion of it to someone else, taking away what belongs to my children. Charles, shes not just anyone. She carries half of my blood. Even if we back down a million steps, giving her a share is appropriate. What youre giving her belongs to the Miles Family, right? You wouldnt be who you are today without us Hobsons! Johanes sore spot was hit, and he red at her in return. After a while, he said, Thats true, without the Hobson Family, there would be no Miles Family today, and there wouldnt be Jace Miles or Amelia Miles. Today, this home would only have udia Zane and Daisy Zane. Hearing that name, Charles Hobson pped Johanes Miles. Following the crisp sound, everything fell into silence. It was as if somethingy between the two people in the air. Charles tightly clutched his fingers and, after a daze, said, Johanes, I Johanes didnt speak again, turned around, picked up his clothes, and left the house. Amelia Miles was in the dance practice room with rissa Mason when she received the call. Mom, whats wrong? Amelia, I found a contract of equity transfer in your fathers study, for Daisy Zane. Hearing this, Amelia tightened her grip on the mineral water bottle in her hand: Is it in effect? No, its just a prepared contract. I see. Whats wrong? Why do you suddenly look so bad? rissa Mason asked after seeing her finish the phone call. Its nothing. Amelia shook her head and smiled, Liam Davis wants to marry my sister, and my dad wants to give my sister a dowry. My mom is just a bit upset. Who wouldnt be, the daughter of a mistress, her presence itself serves as a reminder of the betrayal in their marriage. If it were me, Id want her dead. rissa said, Getting married and preparing a dowry for her, if that were me, Id tear my household apart. On the surface, Amelia appeared to be worried, but in her heart, she thought, You pig-brained idiot, you always only get half of the important points. So she could only add, After all, shell be Mrs. Davis in the future, and getting along with the Davis Family will help the Miles Family. Its better to have an ally instead of an enemy; I understand my fathers perspective. Mrs. Davis? rissa Mason furrowed her brows, Who took a liking to her? Liam Davis. Liam Davis?! rissa Mason stood up straight, her face full of disbelief. After stammering for a moment, she asked, Do you mean the Liam Davis that I know? Yes. Amelia replied innocently, Why are you so emotional? My sister is so beautiful; isnt it normal for Liam to be attracted to her? Liams standards are sky-high; how could he be interested in someone so rotten as her. rissa faltered, She didnt even finish school; what does being pretty amount to? Marrying such a person would affect the intelligence of their future generations, wouldnt it? Its not that serious, Amelia said, But my sister will definitely have a good life from now on. Everything in the entertainment industry will be smooth for her. Whatever role she wants to y, Liam just has to wave his hand and invest, and everything will be there. If they want someone to y a role, they can choose anyone; if they dislike someone, they can ban them. rissa Mason clenched her fists, her teeth gritted, her expression empty and silent. Amelia nced at her, a mocking look shed through her eyes, and she said, The only problem is that Liams mother is a bit difficult to deal with. She has such high requirements for a daughter-inw; background, looks, education, and family upbringing all matter. Im not sure if my sister will be mistreated after marrying into their family. rissa suddenly looked at her. Amelia continued, But, luckily, my sister is a person who wont act recklessly. She doesnt have any scandalous news, chaotic personal life, or messy rumors about her. She is clean and upright. I believe Lady Davis shouldnt find any reason to give her a hard time. rissa pinched her palm, her eyes gradually turned fierce. By the time Daisy Zane finished work on the film set, it was already 5 0clock in the afternoon. When she took off her costume, the T-shirt inside had already been soaked through with sweat. She had no scenes to shoot in the evening, so she went back after removing her makeup. Kevin rk followed her onto the nanny car, and even had Allonzo Hobson and Michael Jackson bring Anisa Cooper to their car. Hmm? You sold my assistant? Daisy Zane looked out of the car window to see Anisa Cooper in the back seat of Allonzo Hobsons car, with both hands gripping the window like an abandoned kitten. Then that car gradually drove away, disappearing from her sight. They yed cards all afternoon while you were filming. Now, theyre poker buddies. Kevin rk took out the cakes and desserts he bought, Have some. Youre afraid Anisa Cooper wont let me eat, right? Kevin rk nced at her, put the fork in her hand: Dont worry, you wont gain weight. If you do, Ill take responsibility. Daisy Zane smiled, taking a bite of the cream: How long will you stay in Truro Ill go back to the Imperial Capital tomorrow afternoon. Kevin rk asked, Do you have any ns? Daisy Zane shook her head. It had been almost half a year since she had been to the Imperial Capital. After having dinner together, they went back to Evesting Pce. Daisy Zane worked on design drafts until past eleven oclock before going to bed. At past 2 AM, the sudden ringtone of her cell phone woke her up. Daisy Zane opened her eyes abruptly, reached for her phone, and as soon as she saw the unmarked but deeply ingrained phone number, her heart sank. She quickly answered the call, and an older-sounding man in his fifties sobbed on the other end of the line, Lady, the young master is in the rescue room. When Kevin rks cell phone rang, he was in the study room, dealing with matters. As soon as he saw the note and then the knocking on the door from outside. He answered the phone and walked out at the same time. Open the door. Daisy Zanes voice was cold and somewhat panicked. When Kevin rk opened the door, he saw her wearing just a nightgown, her hair somewhat messy. Her entire state was a seemingly calm but chilling demeanor, so cold that it was terrifying. But, her eyes were red. Upon seeing Kevin rk, she clung to him like a lifeline, grabbing his arm: Kevin rk, I need to go to the Imperial Capital, now, immediately. Tell me the exact address, Kevin rk immediately asked. First Hospital. Alright, Ill arrange it. Kevin rk pulled her into the room, realizing that she hadnt even had time to close the door, Wait inside for a while. The arrangements were made quickly, and they boarded the ne on the rooftop of Evesting Pce. An hourter, theynded at the Imperial Capital First Hospital. When Daisy Zane arrived outside the rescue room, only a man in his fifties was waiting there. Hearing footsteps, the man looked at her: Youngdy. After uttering these two words, the man shed tears. Kevin rk, who was walking behind Daisy Zane, paused for a moment when he saw this man. He had seen him before, at the entrance of the Doomsday Hotel, the family member of the little boy who bumped into him. Wilton Edwards. Daisy Zane supported him, How is he? I dont know, its been more than an hour, and the doctor hasnte out yet. Wilton Edwards wiped away his tears, Its my fault. I didnt take good care of the young master. I deserve to die, I deserve to die.. Chapter 75 - 73: We Have Quite a Fate Chapter 75: Chapter 73: We Have Quite a Fate Trantor: 549690339 What happened? Wilton Edwards seemed much older than when Kevin rkst saw him, as if aging overnight: A few days ago, the Young Master was ying in the courtyard and identally fell into theke, catching a cold fever. The family doctor has been treating him. Though the fever has subsided for three days, it suddenly red up again after dinner tonight Wilton wiped away tears: The family doctor gave him intravenous fluids and stabilized him. In the second half of the night, I felt uneasy and went to check on him in his room. Then I saw his little face turning red-purple and struggling to breathe, and he couldnt be awakened. The hospital doctor said it was a lung infection. Ill make a phone call. Kevin rk rubbed Daisy Zanes hair a little, Dont worry. Daisy Zane nodded and helped Wilton sit down on a seat. She stood at the side, leaning against the wall, her eyes fixed on the light from the rescue room without blinking. Even with the lights on in the hospital corridor, it felt very dark, as if the distance was pitch ck and devoid of light. Daisy Zane could only stare hard at the light from the rescue room. After some time, footsteps sounded from not far away. Kevin rk wore a ck trenchcoat, and several doctors apanied him. He was talking to one of them with his head turned to the side. The doctor was very respectful, nodding in agreement constantly. Daisy Zane kept staring at him until he came to her side. She blinked and then nced at the doctor who entered the rescue room. Rest assured, everything will be fine. Kevin rk stood next to her, gripping her hand. Daisy Zane was wearing thick clothes and a down jacket on the outside. The corridor was heated, warm, but her hand was cold and lifeless. It would not get warm no matter what. Half an hourter, the door to the rescue room opened. Daisy Zanes gaze fell on the first doctor who came out, but she didnt move. She observed his expression when he took off the mask and then lowered her eyes. Gradually, her rigid body rxed. Wilton hurriedly got up and walked over: Doctor The doctor patted his arm,forting him. Then he walked up to Kevin rk, nced at Daisy Zane, and said, Third Master, the child is out of danger now. But since hes young, and his lung infection is severe, he needs to be monitored in the Intensive Care Unit for 24 hours. Alright, thank you very much. Its our duty. As long as hes safe, thats all that matters, Wilton muttered, all the while wiping away tears. When transferring from the rescue room to the ICU, Daisy Zane glimpsed at the child. The childs eyes were tightly closed, his face plump but very pale. The oxygen mask upied half his face, making him look miserable. After entering the ICU, Kevin rk talked to the doctor for a while. Wilton and Daisy Zane stood at the door. After a moment of silence between them, Wilton said: The Young Master has grown taller in the past six months, having a good appetite and never gotten sick. As the doctor left, Kevin rk listened to Wiltons words without interrupting them. The Young Master is very smart and learns quickly. He has almost finished the elementary school curriculum, and he ys the piano well. The teacher always praises him, Wilton continued. Two weeks ago, he began horse riding lessons and won a programming award for the childrens group. Daisy Zane quietly listened as she looked at the door of the ICU. The Young Master is very obedient and sensible, Wilton added. Its just that he doesnt talk much. When he does, its mostly about the Lady. Seeing that Daisy Zane didnt mind, Wilton went on: asionally during his naps, he dreams about calling for Mother. Lady, the Young Master really misses you Kevin rk stood not far away, every word from Wilton reaching his ears. When she heard the word Mother, her hand hanging by her side unconsciously trembled. Arthur North gently pursed his lips, looking at Daisy Zanes profile for a moment before lowering his gaze and walking away. Daisy heard his footsteps gradually fading away and slightly turned her head to watch him until his figure disappeared in the corridor. Only then did she slowly withdraw her gaze. Daisy Zane sat outside the Intensive Care Unit until dawn. She zipped her down jacket all the way up, covering her chin, put her hands in her pockets, stretched out her legs, and looked at her toes. Wilton Edwards had gone to buy breakfast; the surroundings were quiet, with only the asional footsteps passing by, which she didnt pay much attention to. Suddenly, a pair of leather shoes appeared in her field of vision. They seemed familiar; she blinked her somewhat dry eyes and slowly raised her head. Kevin rk was looking down at her, and when he saw her raise her head, his eyes softened with a gentle smile: Why do you look so surprised to see me? Is it because we havent seen each other for a few hours and you dont recognize me anymore? Daisy thought he wouldnte, so she kept looking at him for a while before lowering her gaze, only then noticing that he had something in both hands. On one side was a food box, and on the other, toiletries, most of which were for children. Kevin rk put those things on the seat and sat down, saying, The doctor said the child would need to stay in the hospital for a few days after leaving the Intensive Care Unit, so I bought some stuff for their stay. Daisy looked at those things without speaking. Kevin rk opened the food box and said, Lets eat something first. Dont worry, its just a day of observation. I asked Xavier Dominic to take a leave of absence for you from the drama crew, so you can stay here with peace of mind for a few days. He had arranged everything. Youve been smoking. Startled by her abruptment, Kevin rk hesitated as he reached for a spoon: Does it smell terrible? Daisy shook her head, paused, and then said slowly, That day, you were coughing so badly Your acting skills were good. Kevin rk remembered the act he put on to stop her from smoking was genuinely choking that day. Daisy smiled, took the spoon from him, and ate a mouthful of porridge. Neither of them spoke for a while, the atmosphere quiet and then Kevin rk asked, Whats the childs name? Charles Amos, Daisy stirred the porridge and said, Charles, as in South and North, and Amos, as in inheriting. What about his father? Kevin rks index finger tapped lightly on his thigh. Daisys hand paused momentarily, and then she slightly frowned, He passed away. Kevin rk clenched his hand and then slowly let go. Although he felt a little guilty for feeling relieved, he was indeed somewhat relieved. Just then, Wilton Edwards returned. Miss, Wilton Edwards greeted her, then nced at the gentleman beside her and hesitated for a moment, This is Wilton Edwards was so worriedst night that he didnt even notice what the person next to him looked like, let alone that there was a man there. Ah, Ive met this gentleman before. At the entrance of the Doomsday Hotel, it was he who picked up the young master, Wilton Edwards had an average memory, but Kevin rks appearance was truly unforgettable, I was so flustered that day; I didnt properly thank him. Daisy looked at Kevin rk: Youve met him? Kevin rk smiled, Yes, it seems like the little guy and I are quite fated. Daisy: Chapter 76 - 74: Charles Amos Chapter 76: Chapter 74: Charles Amos Trantor: 549690339 Charles Amos woke up in the intensive care unit at noon and was allowed to have family visit him for ten minutes in the afternoon. Daisy Zane let Wilton Edwards go in and specifically told him not to mention that she had been there. Kevin rk left early in the afternoon because of some matters. Hearing that Charles Amos was not in any serious condition, Daisy Zane left the hospital the next morning and took a taxi to the headquarters of Spotlight. Spotlights building was quite far away, close to the edge of the Imperial Capital. Felix Baker bought the office building on the edge of the city for its rtively cheap cost. When Daisy Zane arrived at the ground floor of the Spotlight building, she called Mr. Bakers assistant, Anna Skyler, to pick her up. Sister! Anna Skyler hurried downstairs as soon as she received the call, hugged Daisy Zane briefly, and then let go. Sister, why didnt you tell us in advance? We could have prepared. Surprise attack. Alright, alright, surprise attack. Anna Skyler walked with her towards the skyscraper. Mr. Baker isnt here; he flew to D Continent a few days ago to look at the mine. Well, I came because hes not here. Anna Skylerughed, Mr. Baker would be so happy to know youre here. As they reached the door, Anna pulled the ss door open to let Daisy Zane through. Thank you, Anna Skyler said with a smile. The man nodded slightly with a smile. Wearing a mask, Daisy Zane nced at the man as she entered. The man looked handsome with sharp features and had a small mole below his left eyebrow. While Daisy Zane looked at him, he was also looking at her, as if thinking about something. Daisy Zane felt that she had seen him before, but she couldnt recall who he was for a moment. It wasnt until she entered the elevator that she asked, Is that man from the pany! Hes here for an interview. Anna Skyler suddenly became smitten. He graduated from a prestigious overseas jewelry design school, and his designs are excellent. Hes also a wealthy second-generation. His family owns apany for him to inherit, but he insists on being a designer in anotherpany. Hes good-looking and very polite. Daisy Zane nced at the girl next to her, You know so much? I listened in on the interview, Anna Skyler said, By the way, his name is Jace Miles, from Truro City. Daisy Zane: . No wonder he looked familiar; he was Amelia Miles elder brother. She had seen their photos, they looked simr to Hobson Family. Sister, do you want to visit the design department? Anna Skyler asked, They all admire you. No, Daisy Zane said, Im here to pick up some of my old drafts and then leave. Stay a little longer, I havent seen you for so long, Anna Skyler insisted. Some other time, Daisy Zane walked out of the elevator toward Mr. Bakers office, What have you been working on recently? Just the usual stuff, Anna Skyler said, Oh, right, were currently selecting a spokesperson. So many celebrities, my eyes are getting tired. They need to have influence, and their image and temperament must match our designs. Phoebe Turner, Daisy Zane suggested, Just an idea for you to consider. Shes a Best Actress with international influence. Although shes older, she has experiences and maturity that young artists dont have. A womans charm is not only about her appearance but also about her inner richness, strength, and the experience umted over time. Anna Skyler looked at Daisy Zane in astonishment. Of course, whether or not you can persuade Phoebe Turner to join is another matter. Daisy Zane pushed open Mr. Bakers office door, You can go back to your work. Alright. Daisy Zane kept all her discarded design drafts, as they once contained her thoughts. There was also a lot of other sketches she had drawn. Before going to Truro City, she had locked them in a safe specially prepared for her in Mr. Bakers office. She took a few sketches and put them in a file bag. Then she picked up a piece of paper and a pen on the desk, drew a b*stard on it, and posted it on Mr. Bakersputer. She even left the words yson Ninevara as her signature. Charles Amos stayed in the hospital for three days. The childs recovery was going well, and there was no rpse. Hed be able to leave the hospital in a few more days. There was filming to be done in Truro City, so after making sure Arthur was okay, Daisy Zane nned to leave after taking a distant look at him from outside the ward while he was napping. Lady, youvee all this way, why not go in and see him? Wilton Edwards said, Young Master would definitely be very happy if he knew you came. Theres no need. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze and said. Kevin rk had been busy these past few days and hadnte. It was only today when he arrived with Daisy Zane that he found out she hadnt visited the child all this time. Lady, why are you doing this to yourself? Wilton Edwards didnt know what to say and only uttered these words after faltering for a long time. You all take good care of him. Daisy Zanes face showed nothing but coldness, devoid of any extra emotion, If you need anything, just tell James Collins and hell arrange things. Lady Alright, Im leaving now. After saying this, Daisy Zane got in the car first. Wilton Edwards hesitated, then turned to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rk nced at Daisy Zane, nodded at Wilton Edwards, and then got in the car himself. Wilton Edwards could only watch them leave. In the car, Daisy Zane sat in the copilots seat and didnt say anything. Kevin rk drove, and it wasnt until the third red light stopped the car that he finally spoke, Why didnt you see Charles Amos? Daisy Zane was silent for a moment and didnt answer this question. Instead, she said, Kevin rk, you only asked half of the question that day, and you didnt ask the other half. Hmm? What question? The red light was short, and soon it turned green, so the car started moving again. Daisy Zane looked out the window and slowly began, You asked about his father, but you didnt ask about his mother. Suddenly, Kevin rk hit the steering wheel, mmed on the brakes, and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Luckily Daisy Zane reacted quickly and didnt hit her head on the ss. Are you okay? Kevin rk touched Daisy Zanes head first, Did you hit yourself? Daisy Zane looked at him and said, Third Master, your driving isnt very good. Cough. Kevin rk cleared his throat, The performance of this car is a bit poor. Daisy Zaneughed, clearly mocking him. But Kevin rks mind wasnt on this, and after calming down a bit, he asked, What about Charles Amoss mother? She had a difficult delivery when giving birth to him and didnt make it through, Daisy Zane said. When Kevin rk heard this, he didnt even know what to feel. The usually calm andposed man had experienced an emotional roller coaster in just a few days. Having barely epted the highest point of the ride, he suddenly realized that he was still on the ground. The fluctuations were so great that there was no reaction. He held the steering wheel, and after a while, he said nkly, I thought he Thought he was mine? Daisy Zane looked at his reaction and found it somewhat amusing. Just because he called me Mom, you thought I gave birth to him? Hes eight years old. When he was born, I wasnt even an adult yet. Kevin rk gradually regained hisposure, Hes eight? Hes just developing slowly and looks younger, Daisy Zane said, When he was one, his father Daisy Zane suddenly furrowed her brows, her fingers unconsciously tightening. She immediately shifted the topic to Charles Amos, When he was little, he spent more time with me. As he grew older, I handed him over to Wilton Edwards, only asionally visiting him. I didnt want him to get too close to me; its better for him to gradually forget about me, but this process seems a bit slow and a bitpainful. Kevin rk grasped her hand and gently squeezed it, Why? I dont know how long I can apany him. Daisy Zane held Kevin rks hand in return, looking at it as she spoke words she had never shared with anyone before, I dont want him to experience the pain of being separated from someone hes close to. Its better to let him forget about me sooner.. Chapter 77 - 75: I Do Quite Like Him Chapter 77: Chapter 75: I Do Quite Like Him Trantor: 549690339 They were nning to return to Truro City and take a flight back, but Kevin rk suddenly went onto the expressway at an intersection. He wanted to spend a little more time with Daisy Zane, and also calm himself down. Hm? Kevin nced at her and said, Since theres nothing to do, lets drive back. Daisy looked at him sideways. Kevin looked ahead andughed, Dont worry, Im very good at driving. You have great stamina. Daisy sincerely praised. Kevin: Daisy really thought Kevin had great stamina; she had never seen him tired, only with redness at the corner of his eyes. Andhe had obviously been busy for a few days, but still dared to drive on the highway for several hours back to Truro City. Was her safety really not an issue? Although she wasnt afraid, it would be too unworthy to get hurt or worse in this way. You can rest for a while, and let me drive when we reach the rest area. No need, I have good energy. Kevinughed. Daisy: Praising him once, and he got carried away. Even though Daisy thought so in her heart, she soon fell asleep. And slept very soundly; Kevin went to the rest area and covered her with a piece of clothing, and she didnt wake up. By the time she woke up, they were alreadying off the highway in Truro City. Awake? The winter sun set a little early, and Truro City was getting a bit dark at this time. For a moment, Daisy was a little confused as she looked at the street scene outside, and after a while, she said, Islept for so long? Not too long. Daisy wanted to say how could it not be long, she felt that Kevin was the incarnation of a hypnotist, every time he was around, she slept exceptionally well. Hungry? Just as the question was asked, Daisys stomach gave two timely grumbles. Daisy: Kevinughed, Alright, I got it. The two went to the Doomsday Hotel for a meal first, and then returned to the Evesting Pce. As they stepped out of the elevator and were about to part ways in the hallway, Daisy thought for a moment and said, Third Master, thank you for the past few days. Kevin raised his eyebrows, and his eyes smiled as he said, Why not call Kevin rk anymore. I was in too much of a hurry that day. Call me by my name, not Third Master anymore. Um Ill see how I feel. Alright, whatever Daisy says. Kevin said. Daisy smiled, You should get some rest. Okay. Kevin nodded in response, but as Daisy turned to go, he grabbed her arm, gently led her a step forward, and bent down slightly to hug her. It was a very light hug, with the arm around her waist barely exerting any force, just resting gently. Daisy, I will always be here. Kevin gently touched her head with his other hand, Even if we are friends, I will always be here. Daisys somewhat stiff body rxed a bit, and her hanging hand involuntarily stroked her fingertips. So dont think too much. Kevin said softly, I will protect you. Daisy let him hold her quietly for a while, then jokingly said, You should protect yourself first. So please, Daisy, take good care of yourself, and also take good care of me. Kevin said. Daisy Zaneughed, and was just about to speak when the elevator opened and Robinson Scotts voice was heard: I cant believe I actually ran into you on the way home, such bad luck! Allonzo Hobsons voice replied immediately: I even suspected you of following Allonzo Hobson stopped mid-sentence when he saw the couple embracing in the corridor. Robinson Scott was so startled that her high heels wobbled a bit. Allonzo Hobson instinctively reached out to support her. Kevin rk let go of Daisy Zane, and she slowly withdrew from his embrace, looking at the two people supporting each other. Did Ie back at the wrong time? Allonzo Hobson stammered. Both Kevin rk and Daisy Zane remained silent, watching Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott. Nope. Allonzo Hobson said, The door is right there. Either of you can leave, just take a few steps to get there. Dont be in such a hurry outside. You cant me me for seeing it, can you? Kevin rk: . Can you please shut up? Allonzo Hobson immediately closed his mouth, not saying anything more. Daisy Zane, on the other hand, looked at their arms supporting each other and said leisurely: You two seem to have a good rtionship. Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott looked at each others supporting hands, then released them and stepped back simultaneously. Robinson Scott spat at Allonzo: Pah! Who has a good rtionship with him! Even if I were blind, I wouldnt be interested in him! Im not interested in you either. Allonzo Hobson, fearing she might really spit at him, retreated another couple of steps. Shrew! Ive never seen anyone more shrewish than you in my life! You broke the tail light of my brand new car, and youre still arguing? Robinson Scott angrily hurled her high heel shoe at him. Allonzo Hobson dodged the attack: You m the brakes on the main road, and you still think youre right? Bullshit! Robinson Scott threw her other high heel, If you hadnt been following me, you wouldnt have hit me! I wasnt following you! I was just on my way! Allonzo Hobson dodged her high heel again, You must have a persecutionplex. Robinson Scott then threw a diamond hairpin from her hair: Youre the one with a persecutionplex, and youre crazy! Allonzo Hobson managed to catch the hairpin: Youre the one whos crazy. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane watched the two bicker. After a while, the two looked at each other, seeing disdain in each others eyes. Daisy Zane simply went back to her side, and Kevin rk pulled Allonzo Hobson away. Seeing them leave, Robinson Scott followed Daisy Zane back. As she closed the door, she gave Allonzo Hobson the finger and cursed viciously: Smelly man, I curse you never to have an erection in your lifetime. Just as Allonzo Hobson was about to close his own door, he heard her words and immediately retorted: I curse you never to experience the pleasure of sex. Then the two of them mmed their doors shut at the same time. Damn it, Im so angry! Robinson Scott vigorously rubbed her hair. Daisy Zane poured a ss of water and drank it, then said, You two have a pretty high standard when ites to cursing. Daisy! Robinson Scott was so angry that she sat barefoot on the sofa, I just got the car Ive been waiting for a year! Im so heartbroken. Daisy Zaneughed and sat down on the sofa. After stewing in her anger for a while, Robinson Scott looked at Daisy Zane and said, Olivia, whats going on with you? I was just gone for a little while, and youre already embracing Kevin rk! Daisy Zane took another sip of water: It was an ident. An ident? Robinson Scotts face looked almost distorted in surprise, You would let this kind of ident happen. Remember when someone tried to touch your hand before, and you broke their arm without even getting touched? Have you forgotten that? I forgot. Robinson Scott paused, You didnt really fall for him, did you? Daisy Zane smiled and looked at Robinson Scott: I do like him quite a bit. Robinson Scott shuddered at the sight of her smile. And he likes me a lot too. Daisy Zane continued. Robinson Scott twitched the corners of her mouth, especially afraid of Daisy Zanes calcting gaze, So, what now? Kevin rk is a very smart and capable person, and I need his help. Daisy Zane finished the water in her ss. Cold water down her throat was very refreshing. So, I need to make use of his assistance before he loses interest in me.. Chapter 78 - 76: Be Honest Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Be Honest Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane knew that Kevin rk liked her, and it seemed that he liked her a lot at present. However, she had never thought that Kevin rks affection for her wouldst. What does Third Masterck? If he wanted, women could be different every day. Why stick to her alone? She was young, beautiful, had a pulling appearance, a poor background, a rare personality, and after getting to know her, a mysterious identity. Anyone would be curious. But how long it couldst, she didnt know. Indeed, she found Kevin rk quite pleasing to the eye. Both his character and his appearance were to her liking. But she had always admired beautiful things, just to appreciate. Therefore, they were practically meeting each others needs at the moment. Even if they parted ways in the future, it wouldnt be a loss. Lucia, Im afraid youll be taken advantage of. Robinson Scott eventually returned to his senses, After all, youre a girl, with a nk te when ites to rtionships, whereas he with all his romantic history, could be considered quite experienced. Daisy Zanes lips moved, Youre overthinking it. This is purely on a personal level. It wont cross into anything physical. Is it? But you two were just embraced. Daisy Zane didnt say anything. Robinson Scott quickly changed the subject: It was just a hug. How normal. A few years ago, James Collins used to cling to your leg crying his heart out all the time. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes: Hows everything on D Continent? While the m and crane fight, the fisherman profits. Theyre letting others take advantage. Regards to the present, things are at a standstill. Lucia, are you going to the film set tomorrow? Hmm. Ille with you. Robinson Scott said, Ill be your assistant, perhaps the director would think Im pretty and even give me a role. I have an assistant. Lucia. Robinson Scott put on a pitiful face. Daisy Zane: Whatever you want. Good. At the Sky Rights Hotel, rissa Mason had just taken a bath. Dressed in a bathrobe, she poured a ss of red wine for herself and another for the person next to her. Brother Joseph, its rare for you to visit Truro City. Dont you want to visit the film set? rissa Mason asked in a soft voice, As the producer and the investor, arent you curious? Why should I go there? With Director Nash, nothing can go wrong with the drama crew. Joseph Johnson responded, Isnt it nice if I spend more time with you in Truro City? But I want to visit the film set. rissa Mason took his hand and said, You know how much I love this show and Ive always wanted to act in it but never got the chance. Take me to see it. It would be like saying a proper goodbye. Then I can peacefully ept the next role. rissa, the drama crew is too shy. Oh, Ill be wrapped up and not show my face. rissa Mason said, I will definitely not let anyone recognize me, well also keep our distance. Even if were photographed, you can tell your people at home that youre with one of your staff. rissa Hey, lets go, I want to go. rissa Mason shook his arm, Lets go, lets go, lets go Okay, okay, okay, we will go tomorrow. Joseph Johnson said, Stop shaking me, youre going to spill the wine. Daisy Zane arrived at the film set before six in the morning. Robinson Scott, who had messed up his sleep schedule, couldnt get up at all, let alone go to the film set. After filming for the entire morning, Daisy Zane went to the changing room to change her clothes. Anisa Cooper followed behind her, asking while walking, Lucia, did you see the producer came today? Hmm. Oh, I forgot, the director introduced you to him. I didnt expect him to be so handsome, I thought he would be in his forties and greasy. After Anisa Cooper finished, she looked around, then whispered to Daisy Zane, But I dont like him much, he kept looking at you. Is that so? I didnt notice. Anisa Cooper frowned, Why didnt Third Mastere today? If he was here, I wouldnt worry about anyone bullying Sister X. Daisy Zaneughed but did not speak, and directly entered the changing room. Anisa stood guard outside when suddenly a staff member ran up, The director wants youing over. For me? Well, youre Riley Maxwells assistant, right? Yeah, Its you then. The director says he has something to tell you. Go there now, it seems urgent. Anisa often saw this staff member on set. With thest time the director sent her to inquire about makeup in mind, she assumed there might be something difficult for her to ry to Daisy Zane, so she didnt think too much of it. After informing Daisy Zane, she headed to the filming set. The changing room was divided into several individual dressing rooms. At this time, there was no one around, only Daisy Zane herself. Just as she was about to leave after changing, she heard the door opening, and someone walked in. Thinking it was someone elseing in to change, she opened the door to her changing room and walked out. However, as soon as the door opened, she saw the producer standing outside her door, his face adorned with a skeevy, frivolous smile. Daisy Zane frowned, and Joseph Johnson seemed taken aback for a moment, pausing before saying, Why is it you? Daisy Zane ignored him, walked out of the changing room intending to leave straight away. But as she passed by Joseph Johnson, he reached out to stop her, Miss Zane, its fate that we meet, dont you think? Daisy Zane nced at his outstretched arm. Joseph Johnson stepped back a bit, looking at her, Miss Zane, you havent settled on your next drama role yet, have you? Ive just taken a liking to a script and n on investing in it. How about we coborate once more? Daisy Zane clenched the clothes in her hand. Suddenly, Joseph Johnson moved in closer, Dont worry. I dont have the energy to maintain a long-term lover now. One night will be enough. Miss Zane, trading one night for a script sounds like a good deal, huh? The warm breath tickling her face, Daisy Zane suddenly felt queasy. She tossed her clothes onto a chair nearby and pushed him on the shoulder, simultaneously tripping him up. Joseph Johnson went thump and fell to the ground. Daisy Zane kicked him once more. He grunted but didnt manage to utter curse before wincing in pain. He was kicked two meters away, curling up and cradling his stomach, unable to speak. Daisy Zane slowly walked over to him, kicked his shoulder, forcing him onto the ground, then stepped on his chest. Joseph Johnson gasped harshly, panting heavily and attempting to speak, Whatwhat are you doing Im the producer and also investor I wont let you continue in the crew Oh really? Daisy Zane responded with an unconcerned tone, her eyes flickering with a malice and mischief as she took out her cell phone, opening a file. The file had beenpiled during the casting for the drama when rissa Mason had taken her role. While investigating the capitalists behind rissa Mason and Olivia Chester, she also found a series of scandals concerning Joseph Johnson. She hardly had time to use it back then, and the issue was resolved by Kevin rk. But it seemed to have found its usefulness today. Daisy Zane bent down, stepping a bit harder on his leg and showed him the phones screen, Looks familiar, doesnt it? These things. As Daisy flipped through them one by one, Josephs eyes grew wider, hisplexion getting paler, even cold sweat breaking out. There was fear in his eyes. Tired of flipping, Daisy Zane put away her phone, stood upright, and removed her foot from him, How do you think youll end up if I leak just a few of these? You where did you get these things that defame me, Im going to sue you for spreading rumors. Daisy Zane softlyughed, My possession of these files is enough proof of their veracity. If you want to sue me, go ahead. After all, in the end, its clear who will fall. Who who are you, really! Better behave. Daisy Zane looked down at him condescendingly, If I encounter any unfair treatment in the crew, or if you try to trip me up behind my back, these files will be public immediately. Make your decision. After speaking, Daisy Zane turned to pick up her clothes from the chair and left.. Chapter 79 - 77: The Child Comes to the Door Chapter 79: Chapter 77: The Child Comes to the Door Trantor: 549690339 Five minutes after Daisy Zane left, Joseph Johnson slowly got up from the ground and sat down on a chair nearby. His whole body seemed to have lost its soul, he could not feel the pain. His mind was full of what he saw on Daisy Zanes cellphonepage after page, each like a knife hanging over his neck. A few minutester, the door of the changing room was pushed open. Joseph Johnson, as if by reflex, felt his heart jump to his throat, breaking out into a cold sweat. But when he saw that it was rissa Mason at the entrance, he breathed a sigh of relief, yet his anger red up, yelling, Where the hell have you been! You told me toe here to find you! Where have you been! rissa Mason, trembling from being yelled at, shrugged with a small voice, I, I came here to wait for you. I even cleared the area. But, but I suddenly had stomach pains, so I went to the restroom first. I, I sent you a message, but when I clicked send, it didnt send. Worthless! Brother Johnson, you, what happened to you? rissa Masons eyes welled up with tears in an instant, looking terrified, Why are you so angry? Joseph Johnson was annoyed when he saw her like this, losing all interest. He got up and walked out, even pushing her when he reached her side, and then mmed the door behind him. rissa Mason stumbled back a few steps, her side hitting a nearby table, causing her to grit her teeth in pain, the sensation shooting up to her head. It took her a while to straighten up, then she walked over to the table by the door, ripping a miniature camera from the side of a discarded makeup box. She held the camera in her hand, lowering her head and snickering, Daisy Zane, Id like to see whether the Davis family still wants you. When Daisy Zane went out, Anisa Cooper was running over from the film set. By the time she reached Daisy, she was too out of breath to speak. However, her hands and feet were still moving, and she checked Daisys face, arms, and hands while panting. Seeing that Daisy was fine, she sat down on the ground. Daisy Zane reached out to help her up, but Anisa started crying while still panting. Hey? Why are you crying? People might think I scolded you. Anisa couldnt speak and just sat on the ground crying, sobbing hard. Daisy Zane had no choice but to squat beside her and hand her a tissue paper. After a while, Anisa finally calmed down a bit, Lucia, Lucia, you, scold me. I, Im so stupid, I, I was, deceived. Daisy Zane watched her without making a sound. Fortunately, youre okay, otherwise, otherwise, Third Master would definitely kill me. Daisy Zane: So youre afraid of him killing you. Yeah. The staff who asked me to leave followed me to the director. Anisa said, When I found out that the director didnt call for me, the staff member was also scared. He said he was told by someone else, but he doesnt know who. I dont think hes lying. Hmm, I know. Daisy Zane stood up and said, Lets go. Yeah. In mid-December, the official website of Spotlight announced Phoebe Turner as its global spokesperson. Upon seeing the name Phoebe Turner, Daisy Zane thought that apart from inferior designs, Felix Bakers abilities were indeed quite impressive. Besides, the official website also released a list of attendees for the Spotlight G at the end of December. Of course, someone like Daisy Zane who wasnt famous wouldnt be included. However, on the day of the announcement, Felix Baker called her. The two discussed the b*stard on Felix Bakers officeputer very friendly way for the first five minutes, then they talked about the design draft in Daisy Zanes hands for another five minutes, and finally, Felix Baker invited her to the g for three minutes. Then Daisy Zane ruthlessly refused him and asked him for two top-quality mutton-fat jade pieces. You wish! Felix Baker bellowed over the phone, I knew youve been eyeing the stuff in my storeroom all this time. One piece of mutton-fat jade is worth eight figures, and you want two. Even when I was in the hardest times, I never dared to touch them. Name your price, and Ill pay double. Daisy Zane held the design draft in front of her, which featured a simple bracelet with a lotus and a lotus pod on the side. Ah, thats quite a lot, Felix Bakers voice weakened slightly. Mhm, said Daisy Zane, Ill submit the designs for next year on a quarterly basis. Really? Felix Baker couldnt believe what he was hearing. Mhm. Alright, then, said Felix Baker, Let me think about the price. Once youve paid, Ill have someone deliver the goods to you. Mhm. Kevin rk spent several more busy days in Truro City. Finally, he had a few days off and headed straight to Evesting Pce. Daisy Zane was filming on a drama set, and he intended to return to Evesting Pce to change his clothes and visit her on set. However, at the entrance of Evesting Pce residential estate, he nced out the car window and spotted a little bundle sitting by thendscaping. Wearing a thick down jacket, the child sat by thendscaping with their curled legs wrapped in the jacket, only revealing a small head and a pair of shoes. Round and plump, they looked like a little bundle. Although some distance away, Kevin rk recognized the child as Charles Amos instantly. He asked Michael Jackson to stop the car, and he got out and walked over to the green area. Upon seeing someone approaching, Charles Amos quickly stood up, looking defensive and a bit fierce. However, since he had met Kevin once before and recognized his face, his defensive expression softened a bit. What are you doing here? Kevin looked around and squatted in front of him, asking. Where is Wilton Edwards? Charles Amos stared at him, his eyes filling with confusion when he heard the words Wilton Edwards, but he remained silent. Are you here to find Daisy? Hearing these words, Charles blinked and furrowed his brow, seemingly not understanding. He still did not speak. Remembering how Wilton Edwards said Charles didnt like to talk, Kevin thought for a moment and said, Daisy is working and hasnte back yet. Im her friend. Can you go back with me first? Not only did Charles not respond, he took a step back and started looking defensively at Kevin again. Seeing his reaction, Kevin knew he was being mistaken for a trafficker. So, Kevin sent Daisy Zane a message asking if she had time to ept a video call. Daisy did not reply but sent a video request immediately. Whats up? Is there something wrong? Daisy had just finished filming. Hearing her voice, Charless eyes lit up, and his big eyes blinked rapidly. Kevin looked at her and then at Charles, saying, Im in Truro City now. Hmm? Im at the entrance of Evesting Pce and ran into Charles Amos, Kevin watched as Daisys eyebrows furrowed bit by bit before adding, He seems to be alone. By himself? Mhm. Kevin could feel her anger through the screen, He must have been waiting outside for a long time, his little face is all red from the cold. I asked him to go back with me, but he thinks Im a trafficker. Daisy Zane was silent for a while and said, Give him the phone. Kevin handed the phone to Charles Amos. Upon seeing the person on the screen, Charles stared nkly for a few seconds before his eyes reddened. However, before things could escte, Daisy said, Hold it back. Charles held back his tears. Who brought you here? Charles finally spoke up, his quiet voice a little hoarse, I came by myself. Kevin looked at him in surprise, raising an eyebrow.. Chapter 80 - 78: One Big One Small Chapter 80: Chapter 78: One Big One Small Trantor: 549690339 Hearing the words I myself, Daisy Zanes face turned colder for a moment, remaining silent for two seconds before saying, Dont wait for me to ask, just exin everything clearly. Charles Amos pursed his lips, lowered his head, and sniffed, II found this address in Uncle Jamess cell phone. Then I sneaked out of the house and went to the long-distance bus station without telling Grandpa Edwards. At the entrance of the bus station, I carpooled to Truro City. I followed the three adults, making them believe I was the child of one of them, so the driver took me up. Charles said softly. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk looked at this little boy with great interest. What about Wilton Edwards? I lit a self-reinforced calming incense at home so they should still be asleep. Charles whispered, If they were awake, they should have called you early to say I was missing. Charles. I was careful with the dose, they wont be in any trouble. Daisy Zane was so angry that for a moment, she didnt know what to say. At this point, she even had the thought of raising the child so down-and-out that he wouldnt learn or know anything. After a while, she finally said, You go home with this uncle first, and Ill deal with you when I get back. Charles hesitated for a moment, then asked, Will youe back? Where else would I go if I dont? Youve already blocked my door. Daisys icy tone betrayed her helplessness. Charles immediately smiled, pursing his lips and then handed the cell phone to Kevin rk. Help me take care of him first, Ill be right back. Daisy Zane said. Okay, Kevin replied softly, Dont worry, dont rush. Okay. After ending the video, Kevin rk looked at the little boy, who in turn looked back at him, his eyes holding a bit of scrutiny. Kevin smiled and said, Lets go, head home first. Charles followed him into the car. At the entrance to the house, Kevin opened the door and said, Lucia lives across. Charles nced across and followed Kevin into the room. Sitting on the sofa, Kevin poured him a cup of hot water. Charless small hands were frozen stiff; he held the cup to warm them, and then looked at Kevin sitting opposite him. Neither of them spoke, just looking at each other. Kevin looked back at him. So, when Daisy came, the two of them sat face-to-face in silence for nearly an hour. Kevin went to open the door, and as their eyes met, he felt the helplessness beneath Daisys indifferent expression. Where is he? Inside Vige. As soon as the three words were spoken, the two heard the sound of running footsteps. Soon, Charles passed by Kevins legs and hugged Daisys leg at once. Daisy looked down at his curly hair and was silent for two seconds before saying, Get up. Charles clung to her leg and didnt move. Charles. 192 days. Charless voice, tinged with a sob, rang out. They hadnt seen each other for 192 days. Daisy lowered her head and didnt say anything. Charless head pressed against her leg, softly sobbing, and after a while, he said, Hug. Daisy didnt move. Charless voice grew louder, Hug. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane, seeing that her usual coldness seemed to have faded somewhat as she looked back at the little boy. After a while, Charless crying grew louder. Daisy bent down, grabbed the back of his clothes, lifted him up, and hugged him in her arms. Charles immediately hugged her neck, burying his small face in her neck. Kevin gently squinted his eyes and couldnt help grinding his sharp teeth. Just as Daisy uttered a sound, Kevin grabbed her arm and said, Come in first. Kevin rk wouldnt let anything happen between a man and a woman living alone in a room. So, he dragged Daisy Zane into his own house. And Daisy Zane followed him into the house, sitting on his sofa without fullyprehending the situation. For a moment, no one spoke, only the sound of Charless quiet sobs could be heard. When Charless emotions had stabilized, Kevin asked, Are you hungry? A little, Daisy replied. Ill ask Michael Jackson to bring some over. Kevin rk looked at the back of Charles Amos head, What dowhat does he want to eat? Hes not picky. I want to have fried shrimp. Charles Amos said softly. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk agreed with a smile. Thats almost enough, my neck is stiff, said Daisy Zane. Only then did Charles Amos slowly get off her, sitting next to her with his big eyes red from crying. Daisy Zane took off her down jacket and put it aside and leaned back on the sofa, saying leisurely, It was quite cozy. Charles Amos nced at her and then got off the sofa, lowered his head, and stood in front of her to apologize: I was wrong. Charles, who gave you the courage toe here on your own? Daisy Zane said softly, If you met a bad person, how long do you think your little life wouldst? And you gave Wilton Edwards calming incense, youre really something. You were the one who didnt want me first. Whose money did you spend? Whose food did you eat? You didnt see me. What do I need to see you for? So you can give me a calming incense stick with a diameter of one centimeter? I wouldnt. You sure can do a lot. Charles Amos couldnt win the argument and simply closed his mouth sullenly. Kevin rk saw Daisy Zanes expression saying I havent let you off the hook, little bastard and couldnt help but lift the corners of his mouth. Yet when his mouth began to rise, Daisy Zane looked over. Kevin rk immediately stiffened, Ahem, you two talk, Ill go check the study room. When Kevin rk left, both people in the living room quieted down for a while. Charles Amos lowered his head, fiddling with his fingers, looking like a submissive child admitting his mistake. Yet Daisy Zane wasnt fooled by his appearance, Now tell me, how are we going to handle this? Ill copy books, Charles said, until youre satisfied. Charles, you thought of this when you were in the Imperial Capital, didnt you? Charles Amos didnt answer but admitted. Okay, copy books, Daisy Zane said, Start with Strategies of the Warring States, then Records of the Three Kingdoms, Records of the Grand Historian, Turn Left, Ramirezs Spring and Autumn So many? More than that. Copy until Im satisfied. Daisy Zane touched his head, Write the words beautifully, Ill check every day, if Im not satisfied Ill have you rewrite it. If you dont reach the standard, you wont sleep at night. Got it? Charles Amos was overjoyed when he heard every day but still pretended with a limp, Understood. Daisy Zane saw his little scheming but did not expose him. If you run around on your own again, Ill break your two little legs. Her voice was very gentle, so gentle that it made ones heart tremble. Charles Amos twitched his mouth, There wont be a next time. Then he added, My legs arent short. Daisy Zane looked at him, Hmm, youre short. Charles Amos: Kevin rk could hear the conversation between the two of them in the study room clearly. He couldnt help thinking that the kid is so bold and resourceful, probably learning from Daisy Zane. Not only did Michael Jackson buy dinner, but he also bought toiletries, clothes, pajamas, and slippers for Charles Amos. Daisy Zane hadnt thought about these things at all, but Kevin rk did. Later that evening, when Daisy Zane wanted to return to her side, Kevin rk kept little Charles at his side, letting Daisy Zane go back by herself. Because before dinner, when little Charles went to the restroom, Kevin rk stopped him there, and the two made a deal. Charles would sleep at Kevin rks side, and Kevin rk would help Charles stay with Daisy Zane. Then Charles Amos said really? to Kevin rk for the first time. Of course. Charles Amos thought for a moment and finally agreed to the deal. So when Daisy Zane stood outside the door and heard Charles Amos tell her that men and women need to have a separation, they have to sleep together, her forehead twitched a few times. Especially when the big and small figures standing together, bidding her back to the opposite door, she felt that she might be a bit out of it.. Chapter 81 - 79: Illegitimate Daughter Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Illegitimate Daughter Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had to film, so she couldnt take Charles Amos to the film set. When she wasnt around, Charles was either looked after by Robinson Scott or Michael Jackson. asionally, when Kevin rk didnt go to the film set and was still in Truro City, he would also take Charles out. So one day at the dining table, everyone was shocked to see Kevin rk with a child. Someone boldly asked: When did Third Master have a child? Charles looked like a little girl, but his clothes were all for a little boy. This made people unsure whether he was a son or a daughter. Kevin rk calmly replied, Ive had him for a while. Charles sat next to him, raised his little head and nced at him, thinking: I knew there must be a purpose to taking me out. Youre trying to establish my identity first before pursuing my mom. Seeing Charles looking at him, Kevin rk raised his hand and patted him on the head, pressing his raised little head back down: Eat well. Then Charles ate his meal while hearing morepliments than ever before. Evenpliments like good appetite were included. Naomi Nelson, how about it? Hasnt our Daisy got a perfect figure? Robinson Scott finally adjusted to the timezone and had followed Daisy Zane to the drama crew for three days. Over these three days, she not only became familiar with Anisa Cooper but also George Dunns assistant and the directors assistant. Daisy has always been in great shape, I know. Anisa Cooper said. How do you know? Tell me, have you been secretly checking out our Daisy? Im an assistant; I know Daisys measurements. Hearing her words, Kevin rk couldnt help but furrow his brows, sitting not far away. Our Daisy may look thin, but shes actually quite curvy underneath her clothes. Everything that should be there is there. No, actually more than there, said Robinson Scott. Its a shame; I dont know which lucky fool will benefit from that. Kevin rk listened to this and twitched at the corner of his forehead: Today, Daisy Zane was wearing a somewhat brightly colored cheongsam for her role, which showed a mix of seductive sensuality and intellectual elegance. Just like Robinson Scott said, all of her figure was revealed by the cheongsam. Especially her waist, which looked so thin that it seemed like an arm could go around it. From the moment he sat down, Kevin rks eyes never left Daisy Zane. Not just him, many people on the scene, both men and women, were staring at Daisy Zane constantly. For the first time, Kevin rk was hit so directly. He didnt show it on his face, but he was considering digging out everyones eyes and chopping them up. Daisy Zane finished the scene, and Anisa Cooper rushed over with a down jacket to wrap her up. As the set design needed to be changed, the director let everyone take a ten-minute break. Daisy Zane went to the rest area. As soon as she sat down, a thermos cup was handed over by Kevin rk: Drink up; its warm. Robinson Scott looked at Kevin rk and said nothing. Anisa Cooper smiled and then walked away with great insight, ying with her phone. Youre about to wrap up your scenes, right? Kevin rk said. Soon, said Daisy Zane, blowing the steam off the thermos cup. Around mid-January. I have a few days off in between when I dont have scenes. Its quite rxing these days. Take a break before you take on the next role. Sister Emily has been showing me scripts, said Daisy Zane. Ive found two with ancient backgrounds, both pretty good. I want to give them a try. Allonzo Hobson told George Dunn that screenwriter Flynn Ninevara wrote a new script, and there should be casting at the beginning of the year, Kevin rk said. His drama has a fixed production team from the director, producer, male lead, to post-production. Give his script a try. Daisy Zane: . Flynn Ninevara? Robinson Scott suddenly came to Daisy Zane and said, Daisy, I heard that Flynn Ninevara is amazing, and even supporting roles are highly sought after. Its definitely going to be popr and of high quality, which means its easy to win awards. You should try it. If you win an award early, you wont have to work so hard. Before Daisy Zane could respond, Anisa Cooper suddenly ran over with her cell phone. She passed it directly in front of her eyes and said urgently, Daisy, someone is insulting you online. Is this what was taken in the changing room the other day? Look at the date on the surveince video. Daisy Zane took the cell phone and flipped through the photos. There were nine photos: two were animated gifs taken from the corridor surveince. In one, she entered the changing room followed by Naomi Nelson being called away and then Joseph Johnsonspace entered the changing room. Another photo was of her leaving the changing room, nearly ten minutester, Joseph Johnsonspace left the changing room. There were four more photos taken from the surveince footage, specifically showing her entering and leaving the changing room and Joseph Johnsonspace entering and leaving the changing room at the same time. There were three more photos, not of great quality as if taken from a video. Three photos of her and Joseph Johnsonspace facing each other; angle of shot was quite intriguing. In one of them, Joseph Johnsonspace seemed to be blocking her waist. In the other two, it looked like Joseph Johnsonspace was kissing her. Of course, in all the gifs and photos, Joseph Johnsonspaces face had been covered, revealing only her face. Daisy, the photos from the changing room were definitely taken by someone who nted something in advance, said Anisa Cooper, stamping her feet in anxiety. Who is it? Robinson Scott asked out of curiosity, I just want to know if theyre still alive. Daisy Zane ignored her, exited the photos, and read the apanying text. [Worthy of being an illegitimate daughter, Little Sams daughter, acting bold and intimate in the drama crews changing room with a married man. Like mother, like daughter. Picking up married men on purpose.] Soon this Facebook post was trending, obviously someone had bought its ce in the Hot search. Moreover, the speed was very fast C Daisy Zanes identity as Truro Song Familys illegitimate daughter was exposed. This had to have been done by someone with insider knowledge; if it was justizens finding out, it wouldnt have been so fast. A phone call from Hill Dawson came in almost immediately, but Daisy Zane didnt take it, letting Anisa Cooper answer instead. She opened thements section. [Wow, she didnt even go to school, grew up in Cold Green Vige, no wonder she has no manners, no upbringing.] [Her mother is udia Zane, hooked up with Johanes Miles, and had her. Theres cheap blood in her veins, shes a cheap seed too.] [They do say that like mother, like daughter. She didnt learn any of the good stuff, only these cheap things. Enticing married men.] [Get out of the entertainment industry, what qualifications does a person like this have to be a public figure? I feel sick watching her shows.] [Daisy Zane, get out of the entertainment industry.] [This kind of trash, maybe she got her acting roles by sleeping her way in.] This must be the work of Paid Trolls, right? People actually believe these things? Robinson Scott said with an onlookers attitude, We were only in the changing room for a short moment, what could have happened? If something really happened, the man isnt very capable and needs treatment. Daisy Zane didnt even bother to answer her. She was browsing through thements when she caught a glimpse of Kevin rk taking out his phone and opening it. She immediately grabbed his wrist, looking at him. Kevin rk also looked at her and said, Ill have someone handle it, dont worry about such matters. His voice was cold, clearly angry, but he tried to be gentle in order tofort Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane smiled and said, No need, Ill handle it myself. Kevin rk frowned slightly. I can handle it, Daisy Zane said, Theres no need for Third Master to take action, especially regarding the matter of the illegitimate daughter.. Chapter 82 - 80: Taking Action Quickly Chapter 82: Chapter 80: Taking Action Quickly Trantor: 549690339 The weather in Truro City had been pleasant over the past few days, except for the constant wind. Daisy Zanes hair was blown onto her forehead, and Arthur North gently reached out to tuck it behind her ear: Do you have a n for whats next? Yeah. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, and the tip of Arthur Norths finger just touched her skin on her face, making it a bit itchy. She rubbed it with her hand, Its not the time yet. Arthur North immediately understood that for such matters, it is best to make as much noise as possible, so that they have no chance to suppress the news. Moreover, Daisy Zanes poprity is indeed a great opportunity. Furthermore, they shouldnt be the ones to take action regarding the illegitimate daughters incident. The Miles Family would surely react first. Alright, I got it. He turned off the cell phone screen, pulled her sleeve, and hid her exposed hand inside her sleeve. She knew about udia Zane and Johanes Miles marriage, and she also knew about her own investigation. The incident with the private child seemed to be used by others to attack her, but in fact, everything was under her control. Arthur Northughed, and he had always thought she was like a little wildcat. Peaceful and quiet when things were going well, cold and elegant, but when things went awry, she would reveal her ws and scratch people. But this was not a little wildcat, this was clearly a little fox, a noble, cold, and tempting fox. After Anisa Cooper and Melody Collins ended their phone call, Anisa handed the cell phone back to Daisy Zane, pacing anxiously around Daisy. Sister X, was it that producer who deliberately set you up when you refused toply with him? Anisa whispered. Arthur North, who just promised to stay out of the matter, nced at Anisa. He was nning to look up the identity of the man in the screenshot, but Anisa directly blurted it out to him. No. He doesnt dare. Daisy Zane affirmed. Arthur North raised an eyebrow at her side, intuitively knowing that this man must be quite miserable. Just now, Anisa used Daisys cell phone to call Melody Collins. Now that the phone was back in her hand, Daisy flipped through the messages. An unremarkable number had sent her two video clips. It was Holt Lawrences new number. She just remembered that she had cklisted Holts numberst time, and had not relisted it yet. Holt Lawrence: [Surveince footage of the hallway, as well as the changing room video.] Daisy Zane hadnt even mentioned it to him yet, but he had already thrown the evidence to her, obviously trying hard to please her. Holt Lawrence: [The messages on the Inte were sent by Joseph Johnsons wife. The screenshots were sent to her by a hacker hired by rissa Mason. rissa also had the hacker hack the hallway surveince.] Any hackerpared to Holt Lawrence is simply trash. Holt quickly sent an address along with some transaction evidence between rissa Mason and the hacker: [The hackers address, as well as rissa Masons transaction evidence, do as you see fit.] Daisy Zane: [Blur the mans face in both videos and send me another copy.] Joseph Johnson was the investor and producer of their drama. At this time, if he was involved in any incident, it would definitely affect the drama. It would be enough to rify the matter. As for who the man was, leave that for theizens to guess. Holt Lawrence acted quickly, sending the censored video immediately. Especially in the changing room video, although the mans face was blurred, it was evident that he didnt touch her with either his mouth or arm. Holt sent another message: [You owe me such a big favor, when will youe to Imperial Capital to see me? Dont forget your Hacker book.] Daisy Zane: [Yes, I will tell you when I go.] She sent the censored video directly to Melody Collins and asked her to rify the situation. Then she downloaded the uncensored video to the album and handed the cell phone to Arthur North. Want to see? Arthur took the cell phone, looked at the content, then looked at her andughed, his charming and wicked smile full of innuendo. Daisy and him locked eyes, seeing his smile, her heart jumped, and she got up and went straight to the film set. The set was almost set up, she had to get ready first, and her makeup artist and stylist needed to touch up her makeup. As for why she specifically wanted Arthur North to see the video, she had the suspicion of proving her innocence to him, but she didnt want to admit it. She attributed her reason to wanting to show off her efficiency in handling matters to him. If she wanted to, she could be faster than Arthur North. And because of her actions, Arthur North couldnt help but smile even while watching the video. Especially when he saw Daisy kick the man out with one foot, he couldnt help butugh quietly. Robinson Scott nced at him, feeling somewhat eerie, and moved away from Arthur North a bit. However, Arthur Norths smile didntst long, because suddenly Daisy Zanes cell phone received a few messages from strange numbers. They popped up in the notification bar one by one. [Lucia, this is Liam Davis.] [Dont worry, Ill have someone remove the online messages right away] [Rest assured, nothing will happen, just focus on filming, I will handle the situation] Arthur North suddenly narrowed his eyes. If the cell phone could sense it, it might explode from his ring look. He turned off the cell phone, took out his own, and sent the name and number together to someone marked as Juan Wright: [Check this person.] The crew on this side had calmed down, but there was still unrest elsewhere. Some people purposely bought hot searches and disseminated messages, so the spreading was very fast. Maple Elite Entertainment, John Anderson, after all, is a big boss; hes busy with many things and cant possibly know about every little disturbance happening under hispany. So, he received the message a littlete. As a result, the hot search had just ended when a call from his dad came in. As soon as the call was connected, his dad scolded him: John, what are you doing? Lucias situation has been online for 15 minutes, what are you doing? What is Maple Elite Entertainment doing? Dad, I just received the news. Hurry up and remove the message, its obviously fake, Mark Anderson said over the phone. Whats the atmosphere in your circle now, spreading rumors for no reason and being idle all day. Its affecting the healthy development of young people. Yes, Ill think of a way right away, John Anderson replied. John, you better behave. If I find out that shes been bullied under your watch, or that youre messing around, Ill skin you. John Anderson: . I know, dad, arent you in the Imperial Capital? What? Doesnt the Imperial Capital have inte ess? John Anderson: Hurry up and get to work, I dont have time to chat with you. Mark Anderson hung up after saying that. John Anderson looked at his phone, unsure of what to feel for a moment. He even had trouble figuring out which was his dads child. He looked at the message online again, found Melody Collins contact information, and made a phone call to ask about Daisy Zanes situation. As a result, Melody Collins told him that it had been settled, and a statement from thepany would suffice. John Anderson once again wondered: What is Daisy Zanes background? Moreover, not long after, the hot search about Daisy Zane being an illegitimate daughter was taken down. However, even so, the Miles family was somewhat affected. The matter of the screenshots was rified, and their innocence was proven very quickly. But the situation with the illegitimate daughter was directly removed from the hot search, with no exnation, which meant it was implicitly epted. Melody Collins then immediately paid to control thements. The grievances of the older generation and their children should not be rted, and the most innocent one was Daisy Zane. If she could choose her birth, she would be the least willing to face such an identity. She also mentioned the self-protection of women as a rtively vulnerable group. So, the finger of me soon pointed at Johanes Miles. The most direct consequence was the falling stock prices of the Miles Group. A few days after the incident, someone found out that the producer and investor information for the show Fall of the Quince had been changed to Allonzo Hobson. If it was invested by Allonzo Hobson, given his fame and his character of promoting investment, people would definitely know about it. So, this matter was still being discussed hotly on the inte. However, what everyone didnt know was that Joseph Johnson, the original producer, disappeared in the circle quietly. For those who were familiar with Joseph Johnson, they recognized him as the pixted person in the rification video from Maple Elite Entertainment. They smelled some not-so-simple news about Daisy Zane. But for others, they had no idea who Joseph Johnson had offended and got into trouble with. Only Allonzo Hobson knew very clearly. Whoever messed with Third Master rk, how could the Third Master let them live in peace? Chapter 83 - 81: Mrs. Davis Chapter 83: Chapter 81: Mrs. Davis Trantor: 549690339 Ever since rissa Mason had released two videos from Maple Elite Entertainment to clear her name, she had been worried about being exposed. After all, she had arranged for a hacker to steal the surveince footage, and she was the only one who had the video from the changing room. She didnt know how Daisy Zane had found the video. She hadnt been able to sleep or eat well for several days. She kept checking online for the news, fearing that there would suddenly be a report targeting her. Moreover, she could not get in touch with Joseph Johnsonspace anymore. Her nerves were constantly on edge, and her heart would race every time her phone rang with a message, feeling on the verge of an emotional breakdown. However, as the days went by and nothing happened to her, and the hacker did not do anything else, her emotions gradually stabilized. Shrouded with a sense of luck, she gradually began to consider her schemes again. But even with the news handled so quickly, there was one thing that she wished for. Liam Daviss mother went directly to Daisy Zanes drama crew. That afternoon, Daisy Zane, Anisa Cooper, and Robinson Scott were headed to the nanny car just after finishing their work. Before they could reach the car, a man got out of a nearby Rolls-Royce and walked towards them. At first, the three of them didnt pay much attention since he was still far away, but as he approached, they realized he was heading towards them, and they stopped. The man nced at the three of them, and then said formally, Is it Lady Zane? Daisy Zane replied with a nod. The man showed a smile, Lady Zane, our Madam has requested to have a few words with you. Which Madam are you talking about? Robinson Scott red at him, his tone not very pleasant. The Johnson Family in Truro City. The mans tone naturally carried a few hints of arrogance. I dont know her, and I dont recognize her, Robinson Scott replied, Dont dy our trip home. Just then, Daisy Zane remembered the messages Liam Davis had sent her. Since then, he would send her greetings every now and then. Although she hadnt responded and even blocked him, he would change his mobile number and continue to send messages. Lead the way. Robinson Scott and Anisa Cooper looked at her. The man said, This way, please. You two go back to the car first, Daisy Zane instructed. Daisy, let me follow you, Anisa Cooper said worriedly. Robinson Scott hooked his arm around her neck and said, Lets go, no need to worry about her, she can handle it. Well go back to the car. But that man doesnt look like a good person, Anisa Cooper whispered. Robinson Scott had already ushered her away, Dont worry, hes no match for your Daisy. There were small shops on the edge of the Film Studio, and Daisy Zane followed Mrs. Davis into a coffee shop. As soon as Mrs. Davis entered, she frowned in disdain at the garish dcor of the caf. After Daisy Zane found a seat, Mrs. Davis took out tissue paper and sanitizer and wiped the table and chair before reluctantly sitting down. The waiter noticed hervish appearance and the expensive-looking mink she was wearing, so they silently stood by without disturbing her, only asking what she would like to drink once she sat down. I wont be drinking anything. Mrs. Davis replied haughtily. The waiter was taken aback by her tone and then looked at Daisy Zane. Three hot Americanos, threettes, to go. Mrs. Davis nced at her briefly before turning away, as if unwilling to look at her any longer. Alright, please wait a moment. Mrs. Davis, please go ahead and speak your mind, Daisy Zane said. Youre quite straightforward. Daisy Zane chuckled lightly, waiting for her to continue. Well then, Lady Zane, Ill be frank. Mrs. Davis said, My son, Liam Davis, has recently be quite smitten with you. Its the first time Ive heard him seriously mention a womans name. To be honest, Im quite happy. Daisy Zane looked at her and listened intently. However, our prestigious family has to be very cautious in choosing a daughter-inw. We cant just casually marry someone into the family who only knows how to enjoy a husbandspany, without being capable of managing the household or providing support to the husband. Since Lady Zane has asked me to be frank, I wont mince words. To be honest, I dont think much of you. To be my daughter-inw at the very least, she must be a graduate of a prestigious university, have high education, high background, and be well-matched for our Davis family. She must be well-cultured, have a clean reputation, and work professionally. She should be able to hold her own. Listening to her speak so much, Daisy Zanes expression did not change in the slightest. Indifferent, cold, her voice as usual: Mrs. Davis, you can get straight to the point. I dont have much time to listen to you talk so much nonsense. Mrs. Davis paused, thenughed mockingly: Just as I expected, you have no manners. Since youve degraded me so much, I cant pretend to have any manners left. Daisy Zanes voice had a hint of coldness, And with your attitude, Mrs. Davis, I find it hard to see any manners in you either. Mrs. Davis squinted her eyes, not wanting to waste her breath arguing with Daisy, she directly took out a card and threw it on the table: There are 5 million in the card, stay away from my son from now on. Daisy Zane: She never thought that this clichd scene would happen to her one day. Be wise and take the money while Im still willing to resolve this peacefully. Dont bother Liam anymore. Mrs. Davis finished speaking, paused for a moment, and threatened, If you dont know whats good for you, not only will you get no money, but youll also have a hard time mixing in anywhere in the future. Daisy Zane looked at the card, chuckled lightly, and said: Now that Mrs. Davis has finished speaking, let me also tell you the purpose of my visit here. You have a purpose? Mrs. Davis frowned. Mrs. Davis, youre too confident. Just because you think highly of your Davis familys background and your son doesnt mean everyone else sees it the same way. You have so many requirements for choosing a daughter-inw, but have you ever thought that when all those requirements are met, the girls family might not be interested in your family. People should know themselves. Lastly please take care of your son, Mrs. Davis. His behavior of clinging and pestering is truly rude. Ive made myself clear, its him whos lost his mind, what does it have to do with me? His behavior is very troubling to me. So Mrs. Davis, please have your son stay away from me. Daisy Zane spoke at a leisurely pace and kept a calm tone, just like discussing what to eat for dinner. However, her words were icy cold. It was a coldness that made one feel as if she was standing right in front of them but still out of reach, untouchable. Coldness that made her calm words feel extremely oppressive. After she finished, she ignored the ashen-faced Mrs. Davis sitting opposite her. She got up, went to the order desk to get her coffee, paid, and left. Before leaving, the waiter who served her just now gave her a thumbs up. Back in the nanny car, after giving thettes to Anisa Cooper, Robinson Scott, and the driver, Daisy Zane didnt get in. Instead, she walked a little further and got into a Maybach. Arthur North was working on hisputer in the car. Hearing the door open, he looked up, smiled at Daisy Zane, and took the drink from her hand: Did you also go to buy drinks? Yeah. On the way. After sitting down in the car, Daisy handed a cup of coffee to the person in the front, then realized the driver was not Michael Jackson. It was someone she had never seen before. He had light brown skin, a pair of fox-like eyes, and a pretty good appearance. As Daisy Zane looked at him, he also looked at her, seemingly curious. When he smiled, he seemed innocent and harmless: Lady Zane, hello, my name is Juan Wright. One of the gossips? Yes. Juan smiled. Daisy nodded and handed the coffee to him. Thank you, Lady Zane. Wheres Michael? Arthur looked at Daisy and said, Lucia, you looking for him like this, to be honest, Im a bit Dont be honest. I dont want to hear it. Arthur, whose words were cut off, didnt have any temper and was still smiling. Juan looked at his master smiling, and after being shocked, he took a closer look. He sipped his coffee and said, Im basking in Michaels glory today. Juan was probably older than all of them, more stable than Michael, and more familiar with Arthur. Daisy looked at him and said, Yeah. Next time Ill buy you one specially. Juan looked at Daisy through the rearview mirror, and to be honest, when Thomas Firway and the others said she was beautiful, he didnt really pay attention. But seeing her in person, he was indeed amazed. Her beauty was so stunning, the more he looked at her, the more he liked it. More importantly, she didnt seem simple, which was exactly how Thomas had described her. Juan could almost instantly tell that she would be the future mistress of the house. It was because the aura emanating from her, although different from his masters, still belonged to the same ss. This woman was not simple, and that was Juans first second impression of her. His first impression was that she was so beautiful that she was a perfect match for his master. Thank you, Lady Zane. Daisy sat down, opened the coffee, and handed it to Arthur. Arthur took it and said: Thank you, Lucia. Wheres Thomas? I havent seen him for a long time. To be precise, after thest trip to Red Cliff Vige together, she hadnt seen him since. Exiled. As Arthur spoke, he rolled up Daisys down jacket sleeve for her. Daisy raised an eyebrow: Thats kind of harsh.. Chapter 84 - 82: Changing Teeth Chapter 84: Chapter 82: Changing Teeth Trantor: 549690339 The sun set, the sky was dim, apanied by a cold wind, which was somewhat chilling. Mrs. Davis stepped out of the coffee shop and stood on the steps with a face that looked like she had eaten a bitter gourd. Her lips were firmly pressed together, she was doing her utmost to maintain her dignity. She did not expect that this countryside-girl would have such a sharp tongue, not only belittling their Davis family but also her son. Looking down on the Davis family, what audacity she had. Who did she think she was, thinking she was superior just because she seemed less interested in money and spoke arrogantly? What a joke. Liam Davis was enamoured with her, was he blind? Enthralled by her. A cunning woman, even thinking about entering the Davis household, when theres no chance she could do that. Mrs. Davis chest heaved violently, she stood at the entrance of the coffee shop for a while before preparing to leave. Yet, she didnt know if it was due to the darkness or her anger blurring her vision, she missed her footing whileing down the steps There were three steps in total, she tumbled head-first downwards with her foot still on the steps and her head at the bottom. Shey face down there. Madam! The man who had been following her immediately rushed to help her. Then they went directly from the Film Studio to the hospital. On the other hand, Daisy Zane had no idea of the damage her words had inflicted. She simply left the coffee shop, saw the look on Mrs. Davis face, and returned home in a good mood. Gideon Amos was usually always with Kevin rk, only asionally visiting Daisy Zane when she was resting or when Robinson Scott was home. Therefore, whenever Daisy Zane came home, she would first go to Kevin rks side, see Gideon, eat, sit for a while, then return to her ce. Today was the same, Juan Wright went back with them. As soon as the door opened, Gideon ran out, nced at Kevin rk, ignored him, and directly wrapped his arms around Daisy Zanes legs. Then, like presenting a treasure, he raised his little hand to show Daisy Zane. Daisy looked down and saw a tooth in his chubby hand. Did your tooth fall out? Gideon nodded his head emphatically. Kevin rk too looked over andughed, Changing his teeth. Daisy Zane picked up the tooth, walked in with Gideon, and while changing shoes, she asked, Finally changed. Did it hurt? Gideon shook his head. How did it fall out? Drinking water, I put some strength on the straw, and it fell out. Gideon said while ncing at Juan Wright, whom hed never seen before. Juan Wright had been watching him, and when he saw Gideon looking at him, he smiled at him. But Gideon just nced at him and then looked away, with a rather indifferent expression. Daisy seemed to notice his speech was a bit windy and Kevin rk must have noticed that too. She looked at Gideon, then locked eyes with Daisy. He saw the smile that flitted across Daisys eyes. Open your mouth, let me see. Gideon obediently opened his mouth to reveal his tiny teeth. The previously even row of teeth was now missing one. Smile, let me see. Gideon closed his mouth, looking resentfully at Daisy. Smile. Gideon pursed his lips tight. Daisy didnt give in, Listen to me, smile. Youre not allowed tough. Gideon grumbled. Hmm. Daisy gave a particrly convincing hmm. So Gideon smiled reluctantly, grinning to show his missing tooth. However, after taking a look, Daisy couldnt help butugh after controlling herself for two seconds. Seeing Daisyugh, Kevin rk also raised the corners of his mouth in a smile. Charles Amos pursed his lips, looked up at her, stared for a while, and then ran off. She was left with a very indignant view of the back of his head. Watching his retreating figure, Daisy Zaneughed for a while and then looked at the tooth in her hand, Do you have a bottle? Would a box do? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane tore a piece of paper from the notebook that Charles was using, wrote todays date on it, and then wrapped the tooth inside that paper. It didnt take long for Kevin rk to bring the box over. Seeing the antique box they were using, Juan Wright couldnt help but twitch at the corner of his eyes. They then ced the tooth inside the box, almost as if they were treating it like an expensive ss bottle. Kevin rk knew very well that although Daisy Zane seemed indifferent towards Charles on the surface, she actually cared a lot about him and paid attention to every little thing rted to him. Charles was very important to her. Arent you going to go check on him? Daisy Zane nced at Charles, who was facing away from them in the corner. His curly hair radiated a sense of stubbornness. She paused and asked, Where did you stop copying the book today? Charles small figure visibly stiffened. After a couple of seconds, he came over, climbed up the bench, and picked up his pen. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk and raised an eyebrow. The smile on Kevin rks face deepened, Impressive. Past 9 PM, Charles had taken a bath and was now wearing fluffy lion pajamas, his hair half-dry and curly. Kevin rk sat on a single sofa, blowing Charles hair dry with a hairdryer. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane was sitting on another sofa, reading over the papers Charles had copied. Juan Wright, who had been handling business in the study, had opened the door because he needed to talk to Kevin rk. However, after seeing this scene, he was stunned, quickly shut the door, and retreated back into the study. He had always thought that any chance of marriage for his respected old man had beenpletely severed. Falling in love, getting married, having children C he hadnt even considered these things. All the eligibledies in Imperial Capital paled inparison to this man who wouldnt even spare them a nce. Even the Miss of the Maxwell Family, someone so exceptional that she would have been privately acknowledged as a worthy mistress, he had always outright ignored. But the scene hed never even dared to imagine suddenly appeared before him. A warm family of three. He realized that his respected old man could in fact be this gentle. That he could have eyes only for one person. That he could like everything about a person because he liked her. When Charles went back to his room to sleep, Daisy Zane returned to her own ce. Upon finding that Robinson Scott had note home again, she didnt bother turning on the light and walked directly into the living room and sat down on the sofa. Surrounded by darkness, the silence allowed her to think. Some things, when theye to a halt, really cant be easily continued. She had to admit that when Charles suddenly sought her out, she didnt have the heart to drive him away again. But could she really be with him forever? If she openly exposed herself, as long as Charles was in contact with her, close contact even, the person tracking her could easily find Charles and perhaps even take him away. Could Kevin rk protect Charles? And for how long? Kevin rk wasnt the kind to abuse the kindness of others C there was no reason for him to go out of his way to protect someone he had no rtionship with. Unless they could establish a bond between Charles and Kevin rk. Sitting in the darkness for a long time, Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and found a name marked as Jack Amos in a hidden list of contacts. She stared at that name for a while, then opened the chat interface. Slowly typing the words: [Brother, Charles started losing his baby teeth today. He lost a front tooth and has a bit of speech defect now. I couldnt help butugh at him, and he got a little mad at me.] After sending the message, Daisy Zane remembered Charles appearance today and couldnt help but chuckle. However, her sent message received no reply. For a long time now, Daisy Zane had been sharing little pieces of information about Charles with Jack Amos in this chat. But she was always the only one talking, there was never a reply.. Chapter 85 - 83: Tattoo on the Left Rear Shoulder Chapter 85: Chapter 83: Tattoo on the Left Rear Shoulder Trantor: 549690339 The Spotlight G was on the evening of December 31. Although many celebrities were not invited, those with connections could still get in if they wanted to. The more impressive ones could even walk the red carpet. At first, Daisy Zane didnt even think about this matter, but on the 30th, Hill Dawson showed up at Evesting Pce with an invitation in hand. She had no scenes from the 30th to the 1st, so she was resting at home. Can I not go? Daisy Zane asked nkly. No, you cant, Hill Dawson replied. The directors of the two scripts that youre interested in will be attending, and you must meet them. Otherwise, you might not even get a chance to audition. Daisy Zane really didnt want to participate in suchrge-scale events, as they were way too noisy. I got this invitation with the help of John Anderson, Hill Dawson said. You must go. We cant walk the red carpet, but we can meet more people. Aside from the two directors, its best if you can also show yourself in front of Felix Baker. Who knows, you might be the spokesperson of the next series or even the brand ambassador. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk was also present that day; he sat on the single sofa next to Daisy Zane and clearly saw the moment of disdain in her eyes. Olivia Chester is bringing several of her artists along, even Amelia Miles is included, Hill Dawson said. Since Phoebe Turner became the global spokesperson, Amelia Miles has been keeping an eye on the spokesperson position for Spotlights series. Spotlight only had one global spokesperson and one spokesperson for each series before, Daisy Zane said. What? Do you have more insider information? Not really, Hill Dawson replied. But what if Felix Baker thinks someone looks good and is suitable for his designs. After all, each series has different designs, and there will always be more suitable spokespersons. Daisy Zane wanted to say that someone as stingy as Felix Baker would only spend his money on buying gemstones and not on hiring more spokespersons. Come, lets choose a dress. Hill Dawson took out her tablet and opened it. These are the ones I picked outst night. Have a look. Third Master, can you help too? Kevin rk moved over to sit beside Daisy Zane: Sure. Daisy Zane:Did I agree to go? Daisy Zane sat in the middle of the sofa with the tablet, while Hill Dawson and Kevin rk looked on from either side. What about this one? Hill Dawson asked. Youll look like an absolute flower fairy in it. No, Daisy Zane replied. I have a scar on my corbone, so I cant show it. Kevin rks eyshes trembled a couple of times upon hearing this. Ah? Hill Dawson was stunned for a moment. Is it very obvious? Mm-hmm. Daisy Zane replied nonchntly. Then Hill Dawson scrolled down a few more images, discarding all those that revealed the corbone. How about this one? ck Swan. Daisy Zane nced at Hill Dawson and said, I have a tattoo on my left shoulder. Hill Dawson: Kevin rk hesitated for a moment, first picturing the red scar on her corbone in his mind, then gradually picturing the tattoo on her shoulder. A beautiful shoulder, fair skin, and a tattoo that spreads out delicately. What kind of tattoo was it? Was it red like the scars? Bright, scorching As he thought about it, Kevin rk slowly tightened his fingertips and his lowered eyes deepened. After a moment, he felt his throat tighten and immediately dismissed the image in his mind, taking a ss of water to drink. Wellthis one? Hill Dawson scrolled through all the clothes she had picked out the night before but found none that met the requirements. YouIYou are wasting such a good figure. Do I have to go? Yes, you have to, Hill Dawson stood up and said. Lets go try on dresses one by one. Im willing to pay. Daisy Zanes lips twitched involuntarily. Leave the matter of the dress to me, Kevin rk said. You two can go directly to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. Only then did Hill Dawson remember that this big spender was present, and she had nothing more to worry about. Then, thank you, Third Master. The next day, since Charles Amos was afraid Daisy Zane would leave him in the Imperial Capital and return by herself, he insisted on not going with them to the Imperial Capital. So Kevin rk left Juan Wright to look after him, while Daisy Zane also instructed Robinson Scott to watch him a little bit. They arrived at the Imperial Capital at noon and checked in directly at the hotel where the Spotlight G was held. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane were in a suite, and Hill Dawsons room was next door. The three of them had a meal together first, and soon after someone delivered the dresses. Five in total. each one meticulously made. intricately designed. elegant. and noble. Moreover, each one had hand-embroidery on it. This is a Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts dress, right? Hill Dawson said. Yeah, Kevin rk replied, Which one do you like? I asked about the size, you should be able to wear them all. Hill Dawson took a deep breath, whispered to Daisy Zane: Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts, each dress takes at least a few months to make. A single dress must cost at least seven figures. Price is not the key, the point is, you wear any one of them, and youll carry an aura with you tonight. This isnt a dress that can be bought just by having money. Hill Dawson emphasized again. Lets go with this one. Daisy Zane picked a light purple one. The skirt hem was embroidered with silver lotus flowers, and there was ayer of light purple gauze on the outside. It had a cool demeanor and some fairy-like aura. Okay. Try it on. Kevin rk spoke softly, If theres anything that doesnt fit, ask them to figure out how to fix it. Okay. Hill Dawson and Daisy Zane went to try on the dresses together. The dress was a perfect fit, as if it had been custom-made for Daisy Zanes figure. The design of the dress cor was also very ingenious. It barely covered the scar on her right corbone and the tattoo on her left shoulder. Although it was a straight cor design, it embroidered small silver lotus flowers at the ce where her scar was, connected to the gauze at the back, covering the scar. On the left shoulder, arge silver lotus flower embroidered to cover the tattoo, connected with the gauze in the front. What needed to be exposed was exposed, and what needed to be covered was covered. Her beautiful straight shoulders were hidden under the purple gauze, faintly visible. Lucia, if it werent for the fact that a Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts haute couture dress takes several months to make, Id suspect that Third Master had it customized specifically for you. After trying it on, Daisy Zane immediately took the dress off: Lets go with this one. Why did you take it off? Arent you going to show it to Third Master? Daisy Zane paused while changing, Why would I show it to him? Hill Dawson: Ah, hell see it tonight anyway. In the afternoon, Daisy Zane took a nap. At four oclock, a makeup artist arrived to do her makeup. The makeup artist was found by Kevin rk. He heard that it was Phoebe Turners exclusive makeup team. Phoebe Turner was Allonzo Hobsons mother, and as the global spokesperson, she naturally had to attend the event tonight. Throughout the makeup session, the makeup artist kept praising Daisy Zanes face. Kevin rk sat on the sofa behind her, listening to thepliments with a smile on his lips. But Daisy Zanes face seemed numb, as if she had gotten used to being praised so much that she was not surprised anymore. Originally, when the makeup artist saw Kevin rk sitting down, his hand shook a little. But when he saw him smiling and looking at Daisy Zane tenderly, he knew he had won their approval, so he praised Daisy even more enthusiastically. After the makeup was done, Daisy Zane went to change. She was able to zip up the dresss zipper by herself. But besides the zipper, there were a few gauze belts on the back that she couldnt tie. She was waiting for Hill Dawson toe in and fasten them for her, but Hill Dawson, who was supposed to apany her, didnte; even when Daisy called out, no one answered her. Instead, Kevin rk knocked on the door outside and asked, Lucia, can Ie Wheres Sister Emily? Shes taking a phone call. Hill Dawson, who was just about to enter and had been sent away, happened to hear this at the entrance: Chapter 86 - 84: Don’t Want Others to See You Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Dont Want Others to See You Trantor: 549690339 Hill Dawson stood at the entrance of the room, unable to move her hand resting on the doorknob, as she heard Kevin rks words. Kevin rk felt her gaze and turned around to see her eyes locked on him. Under her watchful gaze, his eyes gradually turned cold, but his voice remained gentle as he told Daisy Zane, It seems she said she has something to attend to and wont be back anytime soon. Hill Dawsons legs suddenly trembled, almost causing her to fall on her knees, before she quickly opened the door and left. At this time, the door behind Kevin opened as well. He heard the sound and turned around. Even though he was prepared, he was still stunned by Daisy Zanes gorgeous appearance. Daisy Zanes beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly lifted at the corners, and the makeup artist had drawn a delicate eyeliner along the corner of her eyes, giving her a cold and noble yet somewhat bold look. Her eyebrows, due to the eyes contrast, also appeared to be slightly raised. Her lip color was a bit deeper than usual, her hair loosely tied at the back, parted into a three-to-seven ratio with the lesser section tucked behind her ear, while the other side was curled down the side of her face, right to her jawline. Especially the light purple dress she was wearing, her skin barely visible beneath the sheer fabric, revealing her slender neck. Coldly dazzling, with a touch of carefree elegance hidden within. Third Master? Daisy noticed his stillness and called out to him. Kevin moved his gaze downward without changing his expression, clenched his fingertips, and asked, Is there anything the matter? Daisy stepped aside to let him in, saying, I cant seem to fasten the strap in the back. In reality, the strap in the back was just a decoration and the zipper had already been pulled up, so she wasnt in a hurry. Let me help you. Daisy nced at him, her eyes seemingly asking, Are you capable? What kind of look is that? Kevinughed, Cant I even tie a strap? Daisy showed him the dresss disy diagram on the table. There were six light fabric straps, three on each side, which when tied together formed a simple pattern. Upon closer inspection, one could see it was actually a simple lotus. The dress was thetest haute couture from Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts. It continued their theme for the year, Shallow Purple. Each year, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts would confirm the theme for the following years designs at year-end, oftentimes based on traditional colors; then seasonal clothes would be released ordingly. Shallow Purple represented palevender, meaning all clothes throughout the year would be mainly palevender, supplemented with other colors. Dresses for important asions were almost all based on the theme, all in palevender color. The silver embroidered lotus on the dress was called the Silver Lotus, which was also purple. Can you do it? Daisy asked. I can, Kevin replied, There is a tutorial in the diagram. Daisy raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and turned around to let him tie the straps. Kevin, while looking at the tutorial, fiddled with the straps. He nced at the embroidered lotus on her shoulder and could faintly see the tattoo beneath. The red tattoo wasnt discernible in shape, but it was unexpectedly enticing. Kevin felt his vision stinging on that piece of skin, his eyes narrowing slightly. He pulled on the strap, applying a little force, gently pulling Daisy back a bit, Is it too tight? Kevin was too close, his warm breath spreading on her neck. Involuntarily, Daisy curled her fingertips, her eyshes trembling. Despite that, her voice remained steady, Not tight. Kevin slowly tied the straps, nced at her slightly reddish earlobe, and felt a tickle in his heart. He had a lot of thoughts, such as wanting to push her against the wall in front of them, hold her hands, nt a kiss on her shoulder, and then However, his upbringing didnt allow him to do such things. The girl hadnt agreed to anything yet, so it would be nothing less than harassment. Can you hurry up? Daisy Zane suddenly said. She really couldnt stand it anymore. Although Kevin rk had backed off a bit, the skin on her neck kept getting hotter. It made her irritable. Hearing her cold tone, Kevin rk chuckled: Alright. Then, within a minute, he tied the extremelyplicated knot properly: Done, go take a look. Daisy Zane went to the dressing mirror, turned her back to it, and twisted her head to look. Although she couldnt see itpletely, it looked nice. Not bad. Skillful. Thank you for thepliment. Are you going downstairs? Daisy Zane nced at the time on the wall, and the red carpet walk outside should have already begun. Yeah, Xavier Dominic had something to do and couldnt make it, so he asked me to help take care of his mother. Together? Hmm. Kevin rk adjusted his cuffs while nodding, his eyes downcast and unreadable. Hearing his response, Daisy Zane began to walk out. But the moment her hand touched the door, she heard some hurried footsteps behind her. She frowned, and the next second, Kevin rk was behind her, turning off the light in the room. With the curtains drawn in the hotel, the room was instantly plunged into darkness when the light was turned off. Feeling a sense of danger due to the momentary blindness, Daisy Zane instinctively raised her hand, turned around, and threw a punch at the person behind her. Her eyes hadnt yet adjusted to the darkness, but Kevin rk urately caught Daisy Zanes iing fist, guided her movement, and pinned her against the door. Fearing she would hurt her back, he cushioned it with his other hand: Dont be scared. Daisy Zanes grip didnt loosen, and her other hand pressed against his shoulder, looking up at him as she coldly asked, What are you doing? Even through the darkness, Kevin rk could feel the chill in her voice: Lucia, if you dont want to go, then dont. Ill handle the director and the endorsements. Daisy Zane didnt move or say anything. Kevin rk always reduced his oppressive aura in front of her. But when he just walked over, it was as if he was furious. Otherwise, Daisy Zane wouldnt have fought him. Even now, he hadnt fully suppressed his aura, but his tone was gentle, as if he was coaxing andforting her. Alright? You Kevin rk was close, and his voice was already pleasant, not to mention the show of weakness. Daisy Zanes grip on him involuntarily loosened a bit, Im already here. As her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, Kevin rk looked down at her, moved closer, and whispered softly, Ive been wanting to say this since yesterday. But I also wanted to see you dressed up in a beautiful gown, so I refrained from saying anything. A question mark appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes, as if to say, Is there something wrong with you? Kevin rks red lips curved slightly, his desire to possess her nearly spilling out of his eyes, his voice even lower than before: Now that Ive seen you, I dont want anyone else to. The low, deep voice flowed into her ears and seemed like a clear spring entering her heart. When it reached the bottom, it stirred up sshes of water. Daisy Zanes heart felt like it was struck by the water sshes and suddenly sped up. This unfamiliar feeling made her frown. She looked up and met Kevin rks gaze, his long, narrow eyes containing both wickedness and unfathomable tenderness. Surrounded by darkness and silence, their breaths intertwined. The hand Kevin rk ced on her back suddenly exerted force, pulling her closer to himself, before lowering his head and gently kissing her lips. Daisy Zanes pupils trembled, and the hand resting on his shoulder clenched on his clothes. Seeing no resistance from her, Kevin rk gently pressed his lips against hers once more before slowly pulling away a bit.. Chapter 87 - 85: Think About It Chapter 87: Chapter 85: Think About It Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane wasnt a teenager who knew nothing. Not only did she know things, she knew too much. She even knew what men liked and how to please them. But knowing and practicing were two different things. Although she knew all these things, she had never used them on anyone. When Kevin rk suddenly made a move, she was indeed a little dumbfounded. There was even a moment when she felt her mind went nk. As Kevin rk moved away, seeing her slightly bewildered look, he rubbed her wrist with his thumb and said sincerely, Im sorry, I couldnt help it. Daisy Zanes gaze was slightly unfocused. Lucia Kevin rk looked at her seriously, Do you want to consider having a boyfriend? He had nned to say thister, but he suddenly made this move. He couldnt just take advantage of her and give no promises. Fearing that it would be too sudden and difficult for her, he added, Just think about it, alright? With that cajoling tone, Daisy Zanes eyes focused as she looked at his beguiling face and her expression became a bit agitated. She didnt understand why she was agitated. Seeing her like this, Kevin rk let go of her hand and thought for a moment before saying, How about you hit me a few times? I wont fight back. Hearing this, Daisy Zanes expression immediately turned cold and she raised her hand to strike him on the shoulder. She used at least 70% of her strength, which was much more than when she almost hit him earlier. Kevin rk bent over and suddenly sucked in a breath. After a moment, he looked at Daisy Zane with a smile. As their gazes met, Daisy Zane wanted to hit him again but ended up just looking at him for a while before turning around to push the door open. Before she left, she said, Stay here, dont follow me. The light from outside shone in and Kevin rk saw her pink neck and hesitated a bit. As the door closed, the room plunged back into darkness. Kevin rk froze for a moment, rubbing his shoulder, and gradually the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. Maybe it was time to push her a little. When Daisy Zane came out, Emily Hill was waiting for her at the door. Seeing her, Emily Hill asked, Are you okay? Daisy Zane nodded, her expression and demeanor were as usual, steady as a rock. Only her racing heartbeat made her a bit irritable, but she didnt show it on her face. Let me see if theres anything wrong. Emily Hill carefully examined her clothes, hairstyle, and makeup. That belt at the back was tied by Third Master, right? Hes quite impressive. If it were me, I might not be able to figure it out. Daisy Zane pursed her lips and didnt say anything. Huh? How did your lipstick get smudged? Emily Hill rummaged through her bag, Quick, touch it up, touch it up, I almost didnt notice. As Emily Hill took out the lipstick and opened it, Daisy Zane took the room card from her bag and swiped the door open. Whats, whats wrong? Nothing, just wait for me. Emily Hills mouth twitched, the tone sounded like she was going to fight. Kevin rk was putting on his coat when he heard the door sound, looked up and saw Daisy Zane take a few tissues from a box nearby and quickly walk in front of him. She raised her hand and pressed the tissues to his mouth. Wiped. After saying that, she let go of his hand and walked away. Kevin rk subconsciously caught the tissue next to his mouth. He was stunned for two seconds and wiped his mouth with it. Then he saw two faint red marks on the tissue. The lipstick that Daisy Zane had rubbed off Kevin rk stared at it for a while and, remembering Daisys reaction just now, suddenly burst intoughter. Daisy Zane followed Emily Hill to the inner area, where they waited for a while. As the people from the outer area began moving inward, Emily spotted the two directors. Taking advantage of the smaller crowd, she quickly introduced Daisy to them for a greeting. With Daisys appearance, just standing there was enough to draw attention. She didnt speak much, but the less she did, the more her refreshing presence stood out in such a social gathering. Emily sessfully exchanged contact information with the two directors, not expecting them to contact her, but merely hoping to get an audition opportunity when they held auditions. Afterward, she continued introducing Daisy to some producers, investors, and others she was more familiar with. There was a performance on stage that hadnt started yet, so people were holding wine sses and chatting about the ce. Only a few industry heavyweights sat in their seats, waiting for others toe and toast them. Daisys appearance and outfit drew attention. After all, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts clothes were not something anyone with money could buy and wear. As a result, everyone took a nce and whispered about her. Zane, smile, smile, whispered Emily. Daisy nced at her and forced a smile. In such a noisy environment, Daisy was already doing her best to be polite and stay here without a cold face. Emily: Arent you here with an artist too, Emily? The pretentious voice could only belong to Olivia Chester. Both of them turned to look at her. rissa Mason and Amelia Miles were standing behind Olivia. Emily immediately showed a very friendly smile: Olivia, youre here too. Look at you, so busy every day, and you still have to bring your little minions to attend events. It must be so tiring. Ah! said Emily, covering her mouth, I misspoke, I misspoke. What minions? Olivias artists are all very capable, not useless troops at all. rissa Masons face darkened, but in this media-filled environment, she had to keep smiling, though it looked distorted. Olivia was also smiling appropriately, saying, Emily, youve also made time to bring your artist here. I think youd be better off staying home with your kids. Coming here is a waste. How could it be a waste? Emilyughed happily and even patted Olivias arm affectionately, Our Zane can easily take the roles youre eyeing, and you cant do anything about it. Were practically a bright future waiting to happen. With that said, rissas smile became even more twisted. Amelia Miles, on the other hand, had been very well-behaved, asionally looking at Daisy Zane as if they were close sisters. Bright future? Olivia alsoughed kindly, This barely passable girl, wearing any clothes is just a waste. I know youre just jealous, Emilyughed and patted Daisys hand, Look at Olivia, shes jealous. Look at that jealous face. Daisy Zane: You two are wasting your talents by not acting. Olivia wanted to say something else, but she suddenly saw Felix Baker and, without another word, walked away with rissa Mason and Amelia Miles. Emily followed Olivias gaze and saw Felix as well, so she pulled Daisy along and walked in that direction, Zane, hurry up, lets go and toast him too. Hurry, hurry, look at all those people, we cant be left behind.. Chapter 88 - 86: Lucia Everleigh’s Idol Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Lucia Everleighs Idol Trantor: 549690339 Felix Baker wore a white haute couture suit, his hair fixed backwards with hair gel, and a small widows peak on his forehead. He had a very gentle appearance, giving people a warm andforting feeling at first nce, but when he smiled, he had a bit of a flirtatious air. As soon as he came out, he was surrounded by a group of people, exchanging pleasantries and toasting with wine. Even someone like Olivia Chester, who has earned a gold reputation in the entertainment industry, had to wait in line. Hill Dawson was no exception. So, Daisy Zane and rissa Mason ended up standing together. rissa Mason was also pretty and had a good temperament, but when she stood next to Daisy Zane, her looks and temperament were overshadowed. She even looked a bit in and rustic. What are you doing here? Do you think Felix Baker would even notice someone with your fame? Coming here is a waste of time, rissa Mason whispered. If youre not afraid of it being a waste, why should I be? Daisy Zane kept looking forward without even ncing at her. What do I have to be afraid of? I have works and fame, rissa Mason said, What about you? You have nothing. Ill have those in the future. You, on the other hand, may not. Amelia Miles followed closely behind Olivia Chester, seemingly ready to show herself to Felix Baker at any moment. Seeing that rissa Mason wasnt by her side, she turned her head and nced over. She caught rissa Mason and Daisy Zane whispering to each other. Amelia looked at them with disdain and contempt, and then turned her eyes away. Do you think the entertainment industry belongs to your family? You say youll have something and you will. But what people ultimately care about in this industry are numbers. Do you think anyone will like you? What a joke, rissa Mason sneered. With your current fame, even if you approached him, Felix Baker wouldnt even spare you a second nce. Yes, hed definitely give you a few extra nces. Good that you know. rissa Mason finished speaking and raised her chin. But she heard Daisy Zane say, After all, fools always attract more attention wherever they go. You! Dont worry. Daisy Zane still didnt look at her. Even if Spotlight wants a spokesperson, it wont be me, and it definitely wont be any of you. After all, hes not blind. rissa Mason was about to refute when she was suddenly pulled away by Olivia Chester. Hill Dawson also suddenly pulled Daisy Zane and walked in that direction, but was still a step slower than Olivia Chester. Having been preempted by Olivia Chester, Hill Dawson and Daisy Zane could only stand on the side and wait. Olivia Chester did not earn the title of a gold medal agent for nothing. She came up, exchanged pleasantries, and praised Felix Baker to the sky. Then she introduced Amelia Miles and rissa Mason subtly and naturally. Today, Amelia Miles and rissa Mason were both wearing Spotlight jewelry. They had a good eye for choice, and they had chosen very suitable pieces. The jewelry fully disyed the Spotlight effect on them. Felix Baker even praised them. I told you to wear those earrings from Spotlight, but you didnt. Hill Dawson nced at her hair. You just put such a small essory in the back of your hair, and it cant even be seen from the front. Those earrings were too ugly. You actually called Spotlights stuff ugly. Not everything from Spotlight is good looking, Daisy Zane said honestly, Everyones aesthetics are different Keep it down, Hill Dawson tried to cover her mouth. But whether it was because Hill Dawson had been standing by her side for a long time or their voices had gotten louder, as Felix Baker spoke to Olivia Chester and her group, he nced over at them. It was just a casual nce, and then he returned his gaze. But two secondster, his warm and gentle smile froze abruptly as a hint of surprise filled his eyes. He slowly turned his head back to look again. Then, he stared at Daisy Zanes face, motionless. That warm face was full of brilliance, as if he saw either the god of wealth or the living king of hell. Olivia Chester stopped in the middle of her sentence and looked over with him. Her smile instantly turned grotesque. Amelia Miles pinched her palm right away. Seeing this, Hill Dawson immediately greeted Felix Baker: Mr. Baker, hello. I have heard so much about you. I am Hill Dawson, an agent at Maple Elite Entertainment. This is my artist, Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at Felix Baker without any facial expression. Ah, its Lady Zane. Felix Baker smiled as he reached out his hand. Just now, he had only politely exchanged a few words with Olivia Chester and Amelia Miles, showing no intention of shaking hands with them. Daisy Zane nced at his hand, unmoved. Lucia. Hill Dawson tugged at her skirt and quietly reminded her. Felix Baker didnt withdraw his hand and even raised his eyebrow to smile at her. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Daisy Zane stretched out her hand to shake his, then squeezed his hand tightly with her fingers. Felix Baker silently gasped for air, his eyes widening in pain, but he managed not to scream. This is Lucias first time attending such an event. Its natural for her to be a bit nervous. Hill Dawson intervened, Besides, you are her idol. Seeing her idol, she couldnt react in time due to the surprise. Daisy Zane: . Am I still Lady Zanes idol? Felix Baker was clearly holding back hisughter. Of course. Hill Dawson said, On the way here, Lucia kept talking about your works. She originally intended to wear the earrings you designed tonight, but she identally forgot them in the rush. Felix Baker stared at Daisy Zanes gradually speechless face, and his smile grew rampant: Really? I wonder which of my works Lady Zane likes the most? Id like to hear her opinions on my creations. This Hill Dawson choked, ncing at Daisy Zane. Its over, she said too much. Olivia Chester and Amelia Miles both curled their lips, their eyes filled with mockery. Let her talk, lets see what she can say. A country bumpkin, does she even know what a Spotlight is? Just waiting for her to make a fool of herself. Fifty-six hairpins. Daisy Zane stared at Felix Baker under everyones gaze and said, Among all of Mr. Bakers designs, I have always liked the fifty-six hairpins the most. Each hairpin is designed with the characteristics of different ethnic tribes. Each one has its own uniqueness, but all fifty-sixe together as a whole. Hill Dawson looked sideways at Daisy Zane, his excited expression seemed to say, youve been doing your homework behind my back. Felix Bakers frivolous smile on his face suddenly turned serious. Even a bit ufortable. Perhaps it was because Daisy Zane had been hurting him too much, and he really couldnt get used to it when she was so sincere in praising him. But the other works Daisy Zane gazed at him lightly and said, I think Mr. Baker should try harder. Design cant keep up with the concept. As expected, being moved is all temporary. Hill Dawsons mouth twitched, and he quickly gripped her wrist, pulling her slightly behind him: Mr. Baker, she really has no filter. Please dont take it personally. Does Mr. Baker want to hear more? I still have a lot of opinions to offer. Daisy Zane deliberately emphasized the word opinions. Felix Bakers heart skipped a beat, thinking, its over, I didnt control myself and got her riled up. Seeing him silent, Hill Dawson thought Felix Baker was mad and was about to speak up. rissa Masons voice rang out first: Mr. Baker, dont bother with her. While speaking, she swayed her hips and stepped beside Felix Baker: Mr. Baker, you probably dont know. Lady Zane grew up in Cold Green Vige and hasnt read much in her life. She barely knows a few big words and hasnt seen much of the world. With such crude taste, she naturally cantprehend your high-end designs.. Chapter 89 - 87: Act Early Chapter 89: Chapter 87: Act Early Trantor: 549690339 At the ce where Felix Baker stood, there were naturally many people. Even though rissa Masons voice was not loud, everyone around still heard it. There were smirking and discussing. Most of them didnt know about the Cold Green Vige. Amelia Miles heard this and a hint ofughter emerged in her eyes. She knew that bringing this woman would save her a lot of trouble. It seems that she did not inculcate those ideas into her for nothing. They dide in handy at critical moments. Furthermore rissa Mason covered her mouth with her hand, leaned closer to Felix Baker and whispered, Shes an illegitimate daughter. When she finished, rissa Mason couldnt help butugh, looking at Daisy Zane with eyes full of triumph and provocation. rissa Mason, isnt it a bit too much to make fun of other peoples origins? Hill Dawson said. I am just stating the facts, not joking. She has such a background, can you me me? Its not like people cant talk about it. Felix Baker lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up, and then looked at rissa Mason and said, Miss, you said she has poor taste. But Lady Zane just said she likes my designed hairpin. Are you saying my design is also in poor taste? The smile on rissa Masons face quickly disappeared, turning into shock in an instant, as if she hadnt heard what Felix Baker was saying. Seeing this, the discussions around them gradually died down as well. Felix Baker still maintained a gentle smile on his face, his tone very mild, You said she is uneducated, so what? Are uneducated people born inferior? Do people born in Cold Green Vige not have the right to struggle and strive? I rissa Masons face turned pale quickly, and she couldnt help but stagger backward. I didnt mean I think some educated people are just wasting educational resources while still having a low quality. Felix Baker didnt show any mercy at all. On his turf, bullying his Chief Designer, did they think he was dead? Today is the Spotlights g event, Im discussing some design ideas with Lady Zane. Thisdy barges in without any care, even saying some absurd things. Are you trying to p my face? Or the face of Spotlight? I dont mean that, I havent. I didnt mean that, rissa Mason panicked. Olivia Chesters face turned green like the leaves washed after rain, and she cursed rissa Mason as a fool in her heart. Everyone has their aesthetics. Its normal that some people like and some dislike the things we design, Felix Baker said. I often quarrel with yson Ninevaras designer because we have different opinions. In fact, now she wants to scold me as soon as she sees me. After Felix finished speaking, he nced at Daisy Zane: Lady Zanes opinion is exactly the same as yson Ninevaras. Daisy Zane: . With the mention of yson Ninevara, it stirred up quite a bit of discussion among the crowd again. They were either praising her design or asking if yson Ninevara would show her face today. Lady Zane, please follow me, lets go to the resting room for further discussion. Felix Baker made an inviting gesture,pletely ignoring the others. Hill Dawson immediately followed Felix Baker with Daisy Zane, not forgetting to give Olivia Chester a very triumphant look. Olivia Chesters face turned even more green, she walked over to rissa Mason and dragged her to the restroom. Daisy Zanes path ahead is likely going to be skyrocketing. Who has ever seen Felix Baker be so protective of someone? Shes beautiful, and in this entire hall, shes the most dazzling. Just look, who doesnt give her a few extra nces? I heard shes the illegitimate daughter of the Miles Family from Truro City. So what? It doesnt matter if her background is bad; as long as her path ahead is smooth, thats what matters. Im even a bit jealous now. Felix Baker is so wealthy, talented, and handsome. Who isnt? Didnt you hear how sour my tone was? Amelia Miles stood in ce, watching Daisy Zanes back and listening to the gossip around her. The look in her eyes grew increasingly fierce and resentful. Her nails dug into her palm without loosening her grip. Why, why is she everywhere, in every situation? Olivia Chester took rissa Mason to the restroom, locked the door, and without hesitation pped her in the face. Worthless! You do more harm than good! I shouldnt have brought you here. You try to steal the spotlight without considering the situation. How did I raise such a useless person? With that, she pped her again. rissa directly fell to the ground, her knee hitting the sharp edge under the sink. Blood flowed out instantly. She bit her lip, not letting herself cry out, but tears still streamed down her face. Its Daisy Zane again, why wont she just disappear? Why wont she die? On the second floor of the conference hall, Kevin rk and Phoebe Turner had been watching the whole farce unfold. Although they couldnt hear what was being said, they could more or less understand the situation by watching. Felix Baker is a smiling tiger. On the surface, he is gentle as jade, but deep down, theres a vicious wolf, said Phoebe Turner, who was almost fifty but well preserved, appearing to be in her thirties. With a beautiful face and charming eyes, every move she made was enchanting. Her sensuality, maturity, and liveliness were fully embodied in her. He is only after his own interests. He wouldnt stick his neck out for just anyone, she said, looking at Kevin rk. You understand what Im saying, dont you, Kevin? Kevin rk looked down at the people below, his eyes ruthless. Anyone with eyes could see that Felix Baker had taken a liking to Daisy Zane. Kevin, since youve taken a fancy to such a beauty, you have to bear the pain of her being liked by others, Phoebe Turner said. Besides, shes in the entertainment industry, and there will be many fans in the future. More people will like her. You understand what Im trying to say, right? Kevin rk looked at her and replied, I understand. Like Xavier Dominics father, I should make a move early, legalize the rtionship, and then whoever likes her, Ill show them the marriage certificate, so they wont dare to covet her. Phoebe Turners mouth twitched. Is that what I meant? You stay here and rest for a while, Ill go downstairs to take care of some things, Kevin rk said before turning and leaving. Phoebe Turner looked at him, then at the assistant behind her, speechless. What she meant was that he should have the awareness of being a celebrity husband, not to be jealous. Instead, she was not trying to make him go down the same old road as Henry Horton. A lovely young girl, who would willingly get married and be pregnant at an early age! You didnt understand a damn thing! Felix Baker originally intended to take Daisy Zane to the rest area, but he was just about to reach the door when someone called him away. So, he just opened the door for her to rest and went to deal with his business without even having the chance to say a few words. Upon entering the room and closing the door, Hill Dawson burst intoughter, Oh, that was so enjoyable. You didnt see the look on Olivia Chesters face; it was even cker than the bottom of a pot. Daisy Zane sat down on the sofa, pressing her forehead, finally finding some peace. Lucia, do you think Felix Baker is into you? Hill Dawson sat down next to her. Why would he protect you like that? Daisy Zane wanted to say because he started the confrontation in the first ce, so of course he would protect her, or else he might be beaten to a pulp tonight. In the end, she just said: Im not interested in him. Hill Dawsonughed, True, although hes good-looking, he still falls shortpared to Third Master. Hearing the words Third Master, Daisy Zane couldnt help but purse her lips slightly, feeling a heated sensation on her lips. Suddenly, she realized that the development of some events might have deviated from her expectations.. Chapter 90 - 88: How Did My Designer Become Your Man? Chapter 90: Chapter 88: How Did My Designer Be Your Man? Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had been in the restroom for half an hour, and the performance in the conference hall had already begun. She didnt find it very interesting, so she decided to leave. Wouldnt it be rude for us to leave if Felix Baker arrivester? Hill Dawson tried to stop her. Ill tell him. How are you going to tell him? Daisy Zane got up and walked out, saying to the bodyguard outside the door, Tell Felix Baker when hees back that weve left. The bodyguard was startled for a moment before nodding: Okay. Hill Dawson :.. . Whats the difference between telling him and not telling him? But Daisy Zane had already left, and she had no choice but to follow. Before leaving, she said to the bodyguard, Thank you, sorry for the inconvenience. Lucia, wait for me, why are you walking so fast in high heels? Im tired. Daisy Zane said as she turned a corner, seeing a figure approaching from the opposite direction, she took a second look involuntarily, then froze in her tracks. Ouch. Hill Dawson almost bumped into her, Why have you stopped walking? Harton rk was approaching from the other side of the corridor. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs. His features were like a thick ink painting, ethereal and wanton. As if he had walked out from an ancient painting, he appeared alluringly enchanting. Daisy Zane watched as Harton rk approached step by step, stopping just two steps away. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he looked at her. Daisy Zane: That ingratiating smile. Harton rk watched her for a moment before turning to Hill Dawson: Im taking Lucia to meet someone. The implication was clear C get lost, youre in the way. Ah, I just remembered something I need to do, Ill go first. You guys chat. Hill Dawson made her exit hurriedly. The moment she walked away, Harton rk took another step closer, his voice low and gentle as he spoke: Lady Zane, will you please grant me an audience? What for, asking me for a fight? Daisy Zane gazed at him calmly. Fighting is too violent, not good. Harton rk replied, Id like to take you somewhere fun. Daisy Zane lifted her chin subtly to indicate that he should lead the way. Harton rk chuckled lightly, straightened his body, and walked out with her. Daisy Zane was quiet and seemed calm, but her right hand, which was hanging by her side, was constantly ying with her fingertips. They entered the elevator and Harton rk pressed the button for the second floor. He then took off his suit jacket and draped it over Daisy Zanes shoulders. Im not cold. You are cold. Daisy Zane looked at him. Harton rk replied: Just wear it. Daisy Zane did not respond, and redirected her sights. She pulled the coat tighter around herself. When the elevator doors opened, Harton rk brought her to a private room. He opened the door for her to enter first. Daisy Zane gave him a nce and walked into the room. Inside, there were Felix Baker, Anna Skyler, Phoebe Turner, and another person she did not recognize, who appeared to be Phoebe Turners agent. When Daisy Zane entered, Felix Baker and Phoebe Turner clinked their sses and took a sip of wine. Apparently hearing some noise at the entrance, Felix Baker nced over while he was still drinking. However, the wine choked in his throat as soon as it passed his tongue: Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough Anna Skyler jumped up at the sight of Daisy Zane, her eyes lighted up. But Felixs cough startled her, and she quickly brought over a few pieces of tissue paper. Mr. Baker, are you alright? Phoebe Turner asked. Felix Baker shook his head while his eyes focused on Daisy Zane and the Harton rk by her side. About twenty minutes ago, Harton rk had found him, revealed his identity, and made a deal with him. Offering a very tempting condition in exchange for a spokesperson endorsement. The offer he made was so enticing. Plus, he said that his person was just starting out, so there was no rush to be a spokesperson. He was simply nailing a spot first. He assured it would certainly be a hit, even surpassing Phoebe Turner. In any case, every word he spoke seemed to highlight how much thepany Spotlight would benefit, asserting it was a blessing for them. He also mentioned the possibility of meeting his candidate. Since there was a chance to meet, Kevin didnt probe on who it was and directly agreed. After all, the offer was too alluring, anyone would be tempted to ept it. But what the hell is happening? Can somebody borate on whats going on right now! Kevin rks person, his person, his person, is his own Chief Designer?! Its Daisy, isnt it. Phoebe Turner stood up and waved to her, Come over here and sit. Daisy Zane shifted her gaze away from Felix Baker, nced at Kevin rk beside her, and walked up to Phoebe Turner: Hello. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow and followed her. Come on, sit down. Phoebe Turner pulled Daisy to sit down, Ive heard Xavier Dominic talk about you so often, and finally get to meet you today. Daisy politely smiled, sat beside her, and then turned her gaze towards Felix Baker and Anna Skyler who were starring at her. Sensing cold, icy eyes on her, Anna Skyler came to her senses first and lowered her head anxiously, tugging at Felix Bakers clothes. Felix Baker finally came to his senses and looked at Kevin rk: Third Masterthis isumthe spokesperson you were talking about? Yes. Kevin rk sat next to Daisy and poured her a ss of wine, Is Mr. Baker satisfied with this deal? Felix Baker touched the wine ss and took a sip. In seconds, his brain was working at the speed of light. This was such a great bargain that satisfied felt like an understatement. He had struck such a massive luck, wouldnt he be struck by lightning? Wait, isnt the more important question when did Daisy be his person?! Daisy turned her head to Kevin rk: Spokesperson? Deal? I n to use the spokesperson role as an apology to Daisy. Kevin rk said in a low voice. Daisys eyshes fluttered a bit, deliberately erasing the reason of his apology from her mind: What conditions were met to secure this? With Felix Bakers stingy character, normal conditions couldnt have possibly won this. After asking, she felt Kevin rks response would certainly hold back some details. So, she turned to Felix Baker and casually looked at him: So, whats the deal? Ah The deal Uh Her gaze was too intimidating, Felix Baker nced at Kevin rk, then shifted humbly on his seat, and said looking at his wine ss, Third Master agreed that Spotlight will pay sixty percent of the price for all diamonds and jadeite purchased from D Continent for one year. No matter the quantity purchased, he would bear the sixty percent, and Spotlight will only pay forty percent. The only condition is to offer you a series spokesperson contract. After listening, Daisy didnt want to say another word. No limit on quantity, would Felix Baker empty the mine on D Continent? Phoebe Turner meanwhile, put her hand over her mouth andughed softly. Kevin rk, unwilling to push Daisy for romantic progress, had resorted to tossing money at Felix Baker. It wasnt just that he had brought along a spokesperson to meet Felix Baker; it was an outright deration of his authority. There she was, all wrapped up despite the warm room temperature, strictly reserved for his eyes only. It was him saying to Felix Baker, this woman is mine. You should not touch and preferably not even look. But Felix Bakers reaction was a bit odd. Phoebe Turner caught on to it, and naturally, so did Kevin rk. He could clearly sense that Felix Baker seemed somewhat afraid of Daisy. They seemed to know each other. Daisy, Kevin rk held her hand under the table. Feeling the warmth, Daisy looked at his hand, and in an instant, her mind was filled with a single thought. His hand was indeed very warm. On Felix Bakers side, seeing Daisy retract her gaze as if she didnt want to deal with this, he picked up his wine ss, smiled warmly, and said, So, Third Master should we set a date for signing the contract? Okay, Kevin rk said, Ill arrange for my assistant to get in touch with you. Fine. Then, its settled. Chapter 91 - 89: Taking the Opportunity to Hug Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Taking the Opportunity to Hug Trantor: 549690339 As the deal seemed to be settled, Felix Bakers smile became much more sincere. He started to look at Kevin rk and Daisy Zane as if they were the God of Wealth. After eating two delicate Osmanthus cakes, Daisy found Felixs face somewhat repulsive. She poured some more wine in her ss and said, Ill toast to Mr. Baker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Seeing the eerie cold smile at the corner of her mouth, Felixs smile stiffened for a moment, No, no, you should thank Third Master more. Daisy smiled but didnt say anything. She just raised her ss to him, tilted her head back, and drank all the wine in her ss, then looked at Felix. Under her gaze, Felix had no choice but to drink up as well, Lady Zane is too polite. Daisy poured more wine and said, For the second ss, I want to thank Mr. Baker for helping me out tonight. Felixs mouth twitched and he quickly said, It was just a small effort, Lady Zane, theres no need to be so polite. Seeing that he didnt want to drink, Daisy turned her gaze to Anna Skyler. Anna nced at Felix, then at Daisy, and finally filled Felixs ss with wine. Felix, looking at the ss filled to the brim, scowled at the wolf beside him. Anna shrank her neck in fear. Ill drink up. Mr. Baker, please. Daisy finished her wine with her head tilted back. Daisy, dont drink too much. The after-effects of this red wine are quite strong. Phoebe Turner whispered beside her and then looked at Kevin rk, signaling him to stop her drinking. But Kevin just silently sat there, watching, clearly letting her do as she pleased. Phoebe Turner: Why wont Mr. Baker drink? Is my sincerity not enough? Daisy asked. Not at all. Felix took a deep breath for the sake of that 60% payment, tilted his head back, and gulped down the wine. After drinking it all, he felt somewhat blurry in front of him. However, Daisy poured another ss, With this third ss, Id like to ask Mr. Baker to take good care of me in the future. As soon as she finished her sentence, Anna was about to pour wine for Felix. Felix quickly grabbed the wine bottle: Ill do it myself. He poured a small ss for himself, As for taking care, Ill have to rely heavily on Lady Zane in Spotlight. I know. Daisy finished her wine after saying that. Felix followed suit and drank up as well. Then, Daisy poured another ss for herself. Seeing this, Felix stood up abruptly, startling Phoebe beside him, Sorry, you guys chat first, I need to go to the restroom. Please, take your time. Phoebe said politely, Be careful. Felix drank too much, too urgently, and the wine was strong. Anna was worried about him but had to stay and apany the guests, so she could not follow him out. When he left, Phoebe looked at Daisy and said, Daisy, are you alright? Youve had so much to drink. Daisy shook her head, Im fine. Kevin looked at her with a smiling face and eyes, Our Daisy can hold her liquor. Phoebe nced at him but didnt want to pay attention to him. Daisy also looked at him and stood up, Ill go to the washroom too. After saying that, she nodded to Phoebe and headed out. Watching her leave the room, Phoebe asked, Arent you going with her? Kevin looked at the room door and didnt say anything. The washbasin in the restroom was shared by men and women. When Daisy arrived, Felix was washing his hands. Upon hearing the noise, he looked up and sshed water at her, When did you and Kevin rk get together? Why did you get me drunk? I cant stand the sight of you. Daisy wiped the water off her face, Give me the money for the mutton-fat jade, or give me another 5% of thepany shares. Choose one. Another 5%. do you want to control the shares? I dont object. Screw you, I object. Felix Baker turned off the water and wiped his hands with a few tissue papers. Pick one, or you can forget about getting your contract signed. Fine, heres your money. Felix had just gotten his hands on two billion but now had to give it back, As if youre not getting enough from this contract. Youll even get a fee for the endorsement. That was exactly why she didnt feel at ease taking the money. After all, Kevin rk was trying to get the endorsement for her, and the money ended up in her ount instead. Wait, when did you and Kevin rk get together? Felixughed, No wonder hes so hostile when talking about a coboration with me. He probably thinks I have some ulterior motive. Dont disgust me. Dont worry, Felix said, If you were thest woman on earth, Id stay single for the rest of my life. So naive. Daisy Zane said, Even if you were thest man on earth, no one would be interested in you. You Lucia. Just as Felix spoke, Kevin rks voice rang out. Daisy Zane had been leaning on the restroom door with one leg bent, but she instinctively straightened up as she heard him. Felix swallowed back his retort. Is Third Mastering to the restroom too? Felix revealed a gentle smile. But Kevin ignored him and looked directly at Daisy: What took you so long? Oh, I ran into a not-so-smart thing and chatted for a bit. Felix inhaled deeply, deciding not to argue with her anymore, and said softly, Third Master, you two chat. Ill go back first. After he left, Kevin turned to Daisy and whispered, What were you talking to him for so long? Long, was it long? Daisy tried to hold back without retreating. Yes, long. Kevin could almost be certain that they knew each other, but he didnt ask any questions. Instead, he just said, Ive been waiting for so long that I wanted Felix to just disappear. Daisy looked up at him, catching a glimpse of the fleeting ferocity in his eyes. Realizing that she had noticed, Kevin immediately smiled: But Im afraid youll get angry, so I didnt dare. Daisy turned her gaze away, pondering for a moment before saying, Kevin, reconsider the contract with Felix. Its not worth it. Having been called by his name, Kevin was thrilled and gently said, Its worth it, totally worth it. Dont worry, Lucia, Ive got it all figured out. Daisy was about to say something else, when suddenly footsteps were heard from outside. At least four or five people were rushing in. Daisy instinctively took a step back, creating some distance between the two of them. But the next moment, Kevin raised his hand to grab the cor of her coat that she was wearing. As he adjusted her clothes, he pulled her forward a step, pressing her against his chest. One of Kevins hands was on her waist, while the other rested on her head. She waspletely enveloped in his embrace. Dont move. A man and a woman in the restroom cant exin themselves. Youre a public figure. Kevin whispered in her ear. Kevins coat was on her, with only a shirt underneath. Daisys face pressed against his chest, feeling the warmth of his body and his breath near her ear. Suddenly, her heartbeat sped up again, and she felt a warmth. People rushed into the restroom, stunned for a moment at the sight of the two embracing, but quickly averted their gaze and entered the mens restroom. It seemed they were looking for something, as only one person entered while the others stayed by the entrance. The man quickly exited and then entered the womens restroom. Luckily, there were few people on this floor, and the restrooms were empty. Daisy couldnt see, but she could hear the mans hurried footsteps and the sound of him opening partition doors. Kevin had his back to them and could only rely on listening, only catching a glimpse of the mans face when he entered. The man came out of the womens restroom and reached for his cell phone as he walked away, identally dropping something from his pocket. There was a crisp sound, the sound of ss hitting the ground. Kevin nced down instinctively The sealing bottle that fell on the ground rolled twice and ended up with thebel facing up, which read: 319(i). Chapter 92 - 90: Arresting People at the Hotel (1) Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Arresting People at the Hotel (1) Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane, in Arthur Norths arms, immediately noticed the sudden anger in him. Whats wrong? she asked quietly. Arthur North watched as the man panicked, picking up the sealing bottle from the ground and hastily looked back at him. He calmly looked away and raised his hand to stroke Daisy Zanes hair behind her ear. Seeing that he didnt pay much attention, the man and the others outside the restroom hurriedly left. Arthur Norths fingertips were hot as they brushed past Daisys ear, and she couldnt help but dodge a little. However, with her other cheek pressed against his chest, there was nowhere to evade. She rubbed herself against him and asked, What are you doing? Feeling her smooth skin through his shirt, Arthur Norths heart itched. If it werent for the wrong timing, he would have teased her. He took out his cell phone while whispering in her ear, 319. Daisy Zane immediately realized that the bottle on the ground was 319. Her body suddenly froze but she didnt move: Which way did they go? To the right. Get surveince. Dont let them get away. Daisy Zane quickly recalled the schedule for the Spotlight G and whispered, The event downstairs will probably end in another half an hour. We can lock it down for a while. Okay. Arthur North quickly sent a message, Its already being done. Lets go straight to the surveince room. What about Best Actress Turner Ill text her now and tell them not to leave the private room. Arthur North had one hand around her waist and the other holding the cell phone, showing no intention of letting her go. Daisy Zanes mind had already flown far away, even remembering the hotelyout she had nced at unintentionally,pletely oblivious to the fact that she was still in Arthur Norths arms. Do you want to tell Felix Baker too? Arthur North asked. Daisy Zane knew that Arthur North must have already known about her acquaintance with Felix Baker, but she didnt talk about her affairs, and he rarely asked deliberately. My cell phone is with Sister Emily. Daisy Zane suddenly realized she was still in his arms and quickly straightened up, taking a step back. Arthur North naturally retracted his arm. Lets go, to the surveince room, Daisy Zane said. Okay. The pair exited the restroom together and after a few steps, Daisy Zane asked, Can I borrow your cell phone? I want to make a call to Felix. Arthur North handed her the phone, watching her skillfully input a mobile number and make the call. Despite his impassive expression, his heart was already churning. Their rtionship had progressed to the point where they remembered each others phone numbers. This Felixtskhe shouldnt have it so easy. Its me, Daisy Zane said, Theres something going on in the hotel that we need to handle. Make sure Best Actress Turner is safe and dont leave the private room. Where are you now? Ille and find you, Felixs voice became serious. Dont look for me; just watch out for the conference hall. If possible, extend the time. Dont let them wander around freely, Daisy Zane said. Arthur North clenched his fingertips, annoyed that the man even wanted toe over. Okay, dont worry, Felix replied, You dont need to worry about the conference hall, just be careful yourself. Mmm. Daisy Zane hung up the phone and called Hill Dawson to tell her to stay in her room and note out. Then she went to the surveince room with Arthur North. Since it was Arthur Norths territory, his people were almost on call at a moments notice, with high efficiency. When they arrived, Arthur Norths people had already dispersed and were guarding the area outside. The hotel manager also came over. Arthur North had them check the surveince footage near the restroom entrance, then followed a few other cameras and watched as they went up two more floors, searching all the restrooms. Finally, they found a girl in a restroom on the fourth floors west side. The girl had disheveled hair and wore a hotel bathrobe. When she was dragged out of the restroom, she struggled and seemed to be in an unstable mental state. She mustve used 319, Arthur North said. Daisy Zane didnt say anything, just kept staring at the woman on the surveince screen. In the end, the five people took the woman to the 12th floor. Two men and a woman entered one room while the other three men entered another. Check the check-in information of these two rooms, Kevin rk said. The hotel manager immediately called the front desk, and in no time, someone brought over a copy of the check-in information. The six of them had checked into those two rooms yesterday afternoon. Investigate all six of them, Kevin rk said after reading the information, and go over the surveince footage since they checked in. Yes, sir. This one with thest name Bai seems to be the young master of the Phantom Family, the hotel manager suddenly mentioned, Ive heard hes quite fond of having fun, and he parties hard. Kevin rk looked at the manager, Phantom Family? In a ce as expensive as Imperial Capital, there were various levels ot wealthy families. The number of such families was countless, and they could only look up to those above them, rarely down at those below. Like everyone knew the rk Family and Lane Family. But there were not many wealthy families who could be known by the rk Family and Lane Family. Apparently, Kevin rk didnt know much about the Phantom Family. Yes, the manager said, Ive heard a bit from the hotel staffs idle gossip. The young master of the Phantom Family is said to frequent some not-so-decent people and party rather intensely. Daisy Zane took her eyes off the surveince, Check his consumption records. Alright, Kevin rk agreed, looking at her somewhat pale face, he walked over to her and held her hand. rks people instinctively nced at their intertwined hands, then hurriedly looked away, not daring to stare or get distracted. Third Master, the three people in the other room areing out, someone reported. Everyone looked at the surveince, and Kevin rk said: Keep them on the 12th floor. Yes. It seems theyve noticed something, Daisy Zane said, looking at the surveince. So clever, seems like a habitual offender, Kevin rk said. Lets arrest them directly, Daisy Zane suggested, Theyve already sensed something, and if there are any aplices, theyve already been notified. Alright, Kevin rk agreed and looked back at his people. His men nodded and immediately left. Daisy Zane looked towards the doorway, Ill go check it out too. Kevin rk looked at her. Theyre all men its easier for me to go, Daisy Zane said. She wanted to kill them all. Kevin rk understood her intentions. Six men, with a girl who had been drugged and was disoriented from room 319, what could happen? Together. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane entered the elevator together, but as soon as they reached the 12th floor, the smoke rm on the 12th floor went off. There was a faint smell of smoke in the hallway, and in an instant, arge number of people rushed out. In the chaos, people looked left and right, walked around, bumped into each other, and asked one another what was going on. Kevin rks men were scattered and trapped in the crowd. Third Master, be careful, Kevin rks men immediately guarded him and Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane moved through the chaotic crowd and met the gaze of the person she saw on the surveince. That person gave her a nce, then quickly led the other three people away. Keep an eye on the people in the room, and have the people guarding the floors calm the crowd, Kevin rk instructed. Theyve gone to the fire essne, Daisy Zane pulled the person blocking her and said, Ask the surveince room staff if they went upstairs or downstairs.. Chapter 93 - 91: Arrest at the Hotel (Part 2) Chapter 93: Chapter 91: Arrest at the Hotel (Part 2) Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk and Daisy Zane both spoke quickly, but they remained calm, lending them an inherent persuasiveness. The man in front of Daisy Zane received an instruction, immediately pressed his earpiece, and asked the person in the surveince room. Two secondster, he got a reply: Third Master, theyre going up the stairs. Which floor are they on now? Between the 15th and 16th. Without any need formunication, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk simultaneously turned and entered the elevator that had been parked on the 12th floor. Upon entering the elevator, Daisy Zane pressed the button for the 17th floor, and then the 21st floor: You take the fire essne from the 17th floor. Ill go from the 21st. Were not sure if theyll keep going up, said one of the two men who got into the elevator with them. Ill bet they keep going up. They wont stop until at least the 25th floor, replied Kevin rk. Daisy Zane nced at him and then subtly curved her lips into a smile: It seems we are synced up. Have the surveince room keep us updated on their progress. Yes. The bodyguard instinctively obeyed Daisy Zane, cing her words on par with Kevin rks. Kevin rk alsoughed and gave her hand a squeeze. The elevator quickly reached the 17th floor, and Kevin rk took one of the men with him. The other man continued upwards with Daisy Zane. At this point, the two of them acted in unison, in a natural partnership that required no words. By the time they reached the 21st floor, there was a message from the surveince room that their targets had reached the 19th floor. As soon as Daisy Zane exited the elevator, she began to run towards the fire essne. Despite being dressed in a dress and high heels, Daisy Zane ran steadily and quickly. She matched the pace of the professional, specially trained bodyguard by her side. Halfway there, as though considering her dress an encumbrance, Daisy Zane tossed it to the bodyguard for him to hold. She picked up the skirt hem, and her speed increased further. The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, a twitch appearing at the corner of his professionally trained lips. This this beautiful woman, how can she be so powerful. Upon reaching the fire essne, Daisy Zane had scarcely pushed the door open when she heard voices below. They were running up a corner staircase. Daisy Zane stopped on the steps, neither moving nor allowing the man behind her to move. Second Brother Davis, there, there are people, chasing. Chasing us. Run faster. After this brief exchange, the three of them quickly reached the corner of the staircase. At that moment, Daisy Zane suddenly sprinted a few steps downwards. On her first step, she leaped down three steps at once. The expression of the young bodyguard couldnt help but shift, and even in such a critical situation, he found himself worrying about the heel of her high heels. Daisy Zane swiftly descended several steps, then gripped the handrail with both hands. Using the momentum and her body strength, her entire body went airborne, and she threw a side kick at the three people. Almost as if her hands were the fulcrum of a circle and her floating body was the radius, she swung her body upside down from above the handrail at the corner, sweeping out a semicircle. Her kick sent all three of them tumbling down the stairs. As Kevin rk wasing up from below, he saw Daisy Zanes airborne kicknd on them. The three men rolled down the stairs, whereas Daisy Zanended and stood firmly on the steps. The clear sound of her high heels clicking on the staircase echoed in his ears. The bodyguard behind Kevin rk was dumbfounded. His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg. Suddenly, a thought shed across his mind, could that saying be true? The better a woman dresses, the harder she fights? But, Kevin rk furrowed his brow, he was worried about Daisy Zanes feet. Although her high heels were not that tall, but even people wearing t shoes dont jump down staircases. The three men who had tumbled down the stairs quickly scrambled up and started running downstairs. The bodyguard behind Kevin rk immediately blocked their path. But, these three were not weak either; they quickly engaged in a fight with the bodyguard. Seeing this, Daisy Zane rushed down the stairs, quickly lifted her skirt, and seized the opportunity to kick one of them. But before she couldnd another blow, Kevin rk picked her up around the waist. What are you doing! Daisy Zane twisted around to look at him, her expression very cold, her voice, albeit small, equally cold. Do you realize youre wearing a skirt? Kevin rks voice bore a hint of annoyance. Arent I holding it with my hand? Daisy Zanes tone was also unfriendly. You Kevin rk was at a loss for words. The bodyguard upstairs was dumbfounded by Daisy Zanes actions; he only came down to help after being taken aback by her. Two against three, and the three men had also tumbled down the stairs, so they were soon defeated and restrained. Meanwhile, the other bodyguards had also hurried over and nced at Kevin rk and Daisy Zane standing off against each other. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of engaging with them, they exchanged a nce, took the three men, and left first. After everyone else had left, the two of them continued their staring contest, neither willing to back down. One because of concern, the other because of being annoyed at their actions being abruptly halted. After almost a minute, Daisy Zane suddenly felt that wasting time here was pointless; without saying a word, she turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out. Kevin rks eyes revealed a moment of panic, and he quickly chased after her: Lucia. He reached out to block Daisy Zane, looking at her and saying, Im sorry, I was too anxious just now, and my tone was not good. Daisy Zane just nced at him and then lowered hershes. There was no expression on her face. She waspletely like a block of cold stone. For a moment, Kevin rk even felt as if she had no feelings at all. She seemed like apletely different person from the Daisy Zane he usually knew. Third Master, I need to hurry to the 12th floor to see that woman. Her cold voice made Kevin rks heart tighten. Ill go with you. The two of them traveled in silence; by the time they reached the 12th floor, everyone in the corridor had already returned to their rooms; it was very quiet. By the room where the woman was taken in, several people were standing guard. Third Master, despite all themotion outside, no one hase out from inside, and no movement can be heard, One of the guards reported. Open the door. Yes. As the room door was opened, Kevin rk took a step inside and was immediately hit with the smell of the room. A strong smell of smoke was mixed with the fishy smell of something else. Kevin rk furrowed his eyebrows and subconsciously reached out to hold Daisy Zanes hand, not wanting her to go in. But Daisy Zane slipped away, not letting him touch her. Then, without even ncing at him, she went straight in. Kevin rk clenched his fingertips and quietly followed her. The room was in a mess. There were takeout boxes piled up at the entrance, and clothes were thrown everywhere. Daisy Zane walked a few steps inside and on the living room sofa, she saw the woman. She wasying on the sofa, her robe now covered her body. Her hair was messy and covered her face; her exposed arms, neck, and thighs were all marked. She was lying there, giving off no signs of life Chapter 94 - 92: Crazy Criticism Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Crazy Criticism Trantor: 549690339 Perhaps hearing themotion outside, the people inside the room came out. Two men, both wearing bathrobes and with wet hair, seemed to have just taken a shower. Who are you? one of them asked. No one answered him. Another man asked: What do you want! Still no one answered him. You break into someone elses room, leave now, or Ill call the police! Kevin rk furrowed his brow and nced at the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard nodded, walked over, and quickly subdued the two men on the ground. Then he taped their mouths shut. Throughout the whole process, Kevins eyes never looked towards the two men, only watching Daisy Zanes back from a distance of two meters. Not only did Daisy not look in their direction, but she also didnt even seem to hear them. She just stood in ce, staring at the young woman. Gradually, the scene before her eyes ovepped with the images that appeared in her dreams. Both were used as 319 victims, both experienced the same fate. The figure in front of hery deste on the sofa, while the figure in her dream died right before her eyes. In the dream, the persons carotid artery was cut open, blood flowing all over the ground from the deep wound. Even after her body was lifeless, those bastards didnt leave her alone. Until she returned, her eyes never closed. Daisy walked step by step to the sofa, picked up the nket on the floor, squatted in front of the sofa, and wrapped the girl in it. She also felt for the girls neck pulse, feeling it beating. She withdrew her hand and looked down at her. If she had returned a bit earlier that day, or if she had been as strong as the person before her, or perhaps if she had been softer inside and not so stubborn, maybe there would be someone with her now. Daisy touched the pendant inside her clothes, and after a moment, she stood up and walked directly toward the two men. As she approached, she leaned down and her right hand gripped one mans neck, lifting him up. She quickly walked a few steps and mmed him against the wall. A loud thud sounded as if the mans organs had been disced. The bodyguards who followed her inside stared nkly at this woman. Not only was she fast and strong, but her body also emitted a bloodthirsty killing aura, a chilling sensation that made people feel horrified and submissive. You motherfucker you really deserve to die. Daisys voice was very soft and cold, devoid of any warmth. It fell on the ears of others like a homicidal maniac, a mad killer, Why cant you just die cleanly? The bodyguard in the room, hearing her words, felt a shudder in their hearts. Kevin watched her from a distance and felt her anger, hatred, murderous intent, and even madness. He didnt know what a person had to go through to be so extreme. Daisys hand kept tightening, clearly intending to kill him. The mans mouth was taped shut, and he could only make whining noises, apanied by moans from his nostrils. However, gradually, the sound grew quieter, and his face turned purple. Thir-Third Master the bodyguard whispered to Kevin. Kevins eyshes quivered as he walked to Daisys side: Lucia Daisy neither responded nor looked at him. Instead, she added more force to her grip. The man, who had been struggling to hold Daisys arm, suddenly let it drop. Kevin reached out and ced his hand on hers, speaking softly: Lucia, its enough. If you dont let go, hes really going to die. Daisy turned her head and looked at Kevin. In the instant she looked up, a tear fell from her right eye,nding directly on the ground. It was as if the tear fell onto Kevins heart, piercing him painfully. His lips moved slightly, swallowing the dryness in his throat, but he couldnt find the words to say. Daisys eyes were red, a sinister red. Fierce and containing an indescribable aura of death. Doesnt he deserve to die? Cant I let him die? Now, Daisy Zane seemed to be a lunatic. She tore off her usual disguise, revealing the demon hidden beneath her facade. Damn it, but dying like this would be too easy for him, Kevin rk said softly. Daisy Zane stared at Kevin rk. There are still many things to ask him. 319 is the source; our goal is to destroy it, Kevin said, As for the scum, well deal with them slowly. It seemed that Daisy Zane took his words to heart, slowly lowering her eyes and then releasing the person she was pinching in her hand. There was a muffled thud as the man fell to the ground. At first, there was no movement, but slowly his whole body began to convulse. A bodyguard immediately came over, tearing off the tape covering his mouth and allowing him to breathe slowly. Daisy Zane looked down, ncing at the man on the floor, wiped her right hand twice, and then turned to walk towards the girl on the sofa. Everyone out. The bodyguards looked at Kevin rk. Kevin gestured for them to leave, and once they had all left, he opened the living room window a bit and then stepped outside as well. Third Master this person should we send him to the hospital? The bodyguard asked. Isnt he still alive? Kevins voice became harsher, Send them all in, interrogate them one by one.Yes. How is the surveince check going? Kevin pressed his brow, his thoughts all on Daisy Zane. We did a double-speed check and found no evidence of them interacting with others at the hotel, said the bodyguard, We are now looking into the details more closely. Upon hearing this, Kevin took out his cellphone and scrolled through his call records, locating Felix Bakers mobile number and called him. As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end spoke first, Are you alright? This is Kevin rk. Ah, Third Master. Thatsmallno, Zhang Tang Felix suddenly felt awkward with any form of address and finally went straight to the point, What about her? Shes fine, Kevin said, Once the matter is settled, you can do as you please at the conference hall. Having said that, Kevin didnt want to borate further and hung up the phone. Then, he informed Phoebe Turner about it. Once all arrangements were made, Kevin instructed everyone to leave and stood guard outside the room himself. He also had someone bring clean clothes and sent them into the room. Considering both the girls mental and physical state, Kevin thought they woulde out shortly. However, it was over three hours before he heard the door open. The girl seemed to have taken a shower, changed into clean clothes, andbed her hair. Only her eyes seemed somewhat hollow and nk. Daisy Zane, on the other hand, had returned to her usual state, just a bit colder than before. Have someone take her to the hospital. Okay. Kevin immediately called someone upstairs, including a female whom he specifically sought out for the task. They took the girl away. After a few steps, the girl suddenly turned back to look at Daisy Zane, her previously empty eyes now filled with tears, Is there really hope for me? Can I really be cured? Yes. The word from Daisy Zane was cold but resolute. Kevin nced at her and could sense that she wasnt justforting the girl, but making a promise. Alright, Ill cooperate with the treatment. Thank you. Daisy Zane gave a slight nod, watching them leave. Chapter 95 - 93: I have never liked someone before… Chapter 95: Chapter 93: I have never liked someone before Trantor: 549690339 After the girl was taken away, Kevin rk had someone search the room they were in. A few used bottles of 319 were found, but nothing else of use. Then he took Daisy Zane back to the hotel room. When they returned to the room, Daisy Zane told Kevin rk that she was going to her room, changed her shoes, and went back to her own side. Kevin rk watched her enter the room, stood at the door for a while, and then went out again. Almost an hourter, he came back with a food box and a small medical kit. In the sub-zero temperatures of the Imperial Capital, he was still only wearing that one shirt, and his hands had turned red from the cold. He put down the food box and medical kit, warmed his hands for a moment, then went to wash up before knocking on Daisy Zanes door. It took three knocks before Daisy Zane opened the door. She had taken a shower, was dressed in her own pajamas, and her hair was still a bit wet: Whats up? I bought some food. Kevin rk said, looking at her, Have something to eat. No need Just as Daisy Zane said those two words, Kevin rks hand pressed directly on the door to prevent her from closing it. Stunned by his action, Daisy Zane didnt say anything else. Have a little. Kevin rks voice was gentle, but his eyes were strong, as if she wouldnt be allowed to not eat today. Daisy Zane was somewhat tired and didnt want to be standoffish with him, so she came out of the room. She sat down on the sofa. Kevin rk opened the food box and served her a bowl of Red Date and Lotus Seed Porridge. The porridge was fragrant and steaming hot. Daisy Zane held it in her hands, stirred with a spoon, and took a bite. The warmth spread all the way to her stomach, and Daisy Zanes body warmed up in response. Kevin rk watched her take a few bites before opening the medical kit and kneeling on one knee in front of her. Because of his action, Daisy Zane suddenly sat up straight, and her feet shrank back a bit. Kevin rk grabbed her ankle and lifted her foot, making her step on his kneeling leg. Daisy Zane wanted to move away, but he said, Dont move, Ill apply some medicine. Its okay. The skin is broken. said Kevin rk. Daisy Zanes foot was not twisted, but the strap of her high heels had cut through her skin. Some ces were bruised, some were broken. Actually, it bled a bit during the shower. But it was just a minor injury, and she didnt pay much attention to it. Kevin rk carefully disinfected the wounds with a cotton swab, his head lowered. Daisy Zane held the bowl in her hands, looking down at him. Lucia. Kevin rk called her softly while still looking down. Hm? Lucia, Ive never liked anyone before This is my first time liking someone so much. Kevin rks action of applying medicine didnt stop, I have no experience, and Im not thoughtful enough in many ways Daisy Zanes long eyshes fluttered twice. Im sorry. Kevin rk looked up at her and said, I shouldnt have been so rude, shouldnt have raised my voice at you. No matter what the reason may be. Can you forgive me? Daisy Zane looked at him without moving. In fact, she was not angry, but just very upset. She was annoyed when someone stopped her from doing something, and she didnt want anyone controlling her. Whenever she thought of her every move being restricted or controlled, she felt extremely annoyed. Kevin, I have my own things to do. Daisy Zane slowly lowered her eyes, stirring the porridge in her bowl with a spoon, I dont want my actions to be restricted. Kevin rk was silent for a moment before saying, Can we prioritize safety? I wont joke with my life before the matter is done, Daisy Zane said. Hearing her words, Kevin rk was silent for two seconds. Then he revealed a gentle smile, tilting his head to look at her. The light shone in his narrow eyes, sparkling: Fine. I wont hold Lucia back. Seeing his smile, Daisy Zane also reluctantly lifted the corners of her mouth. Lets eat the porridge before it gets cold. Mm. Kevin rk lowered his head to put her foot down and put on her slippers. He then ced her other foot on hisp and calmly wiped her wound. Daisy Zane really had no appetite, she put the half-empty bowl down and looked at Kevin rk. Her right foot was swollen, likely from kicking something when attacking someone. After applying medicine to her foot, Kevin rk gently massaged it. At first, Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk, but as she watched him, she grew sleepy. By the time Kevin rk put down her foot, she was already asleep against the sofa. Kevin rk got up, pressed his slightly numb leg, and then leaned over and called her twice. But she only lightly furrowed her brow, without waking up. Kevin rkughed and watched her for a while before gently lifting her up. Although he moved carefully, Daisy Zane still opened her eyes and looked at him. Back to the room, Kevin rk whispered softly. Mm. She mumbled her response and closed her eyes again. It was a rare sight to see her behave so obediently. Kevin rks heart softened, and the corners of his mouth curled, carrying her back to the room. He put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then, Kevin rk watched her beside the bed for a while. He investigated 319 because the research institute couldnt identify the main drug ingredients, and the police had received a murder case, but they were unable to trace the source. He was assisting the case. But why was she investigating 319? Her reaction today was so intensemaybe someone close to her had suffered at the hands of 319. Kevin rk sat beside her bed for a long time, watching her. It wasnt until Daisy Zane turned over, and the quilt covered half her face. He got up, tucked her in, and brushed her bangs to the side. Then, he bent down and lightly kissed her temple before quietly leaving the room. However, the moment he closed the door, Daisy Zane, who had been sleeping soundly, slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were drowsy, and shezily fluttered her eyshes twice. Then, she raised her hand to touch her temple, covered her head with the quilt, and slept again. Daisy Zane slept exceptionally long, all the way into the afternoon. Eventually, Kevin rk felt that if she slept any longer, it would be too excessive, so he went to wake her up. What time is it? Daisy Zane sat on the bed, half-opening her eyes. Its past two oclock in the afternoon. Kevin rk tidied her hair as he saw her in this state. Its sote. Daisy Zane clutched the quilt and moved back into bed, letting Kevin rk sit down, Did they interrogate that group of people? Kevin rk sat on the edge of the bed: Mm. They interrogated them overnight. Did they find anything useful? The three people caught in the fire essne provided information about their supplier, Kevin rk said, Ive already sent someone to track them down. 319 in the hands of Mr. White was sold to him by those three people, right? Daisy Zane said. Mm. Have they investigated Mr. Whites social connections? Daisy Zane asked, The people around him, his misfit friends, might also havee into contact with it. Mm, theyre being investigated, Kevin rk said, Dont worry, Ive arranged everything. Chapter 96 - 94: Eldest Daughter of Lane Family Chapter 96: Chapter 94: Eldest Daughter of Lane Family Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane sat on the bed, wearing fluffy pajamas, like azy white cat. She asked quietly after a moment, Has the man with thest name Bai ever used 319? Kevin rk shook his head: No. Daisy Zane smirked sarcastically: Then the girl is his girlfriend, and they have been dating for more than a year. Kevin rk didnt speak, just quietly looked at her. I remember reading in the reports about the brick factory that after using 319, some people would be mentally confused. Yeah. So doing certain things at this time would produce physiological reactions more easily than in a normal state. Daisy Zane spoke as calmly as if they were discussing what they were going to eatter. Kevin rk choked on his own saliva: Cough, cough Daisy Zane looked up at him, realizing she might have said too much: I mean some hideouts should be checked, maybe they hold some clues. I didnt mean anything, just identally choked. Kevin rk looked at her and said. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rkughed, reached out to touch her head, and stood up: Ill have someone check it out for me. Just in time, at the end of the year, Ill do my part for the Sweeping Huang Teams performance. You wash and rinse,e out for a meal. Okay. I bought tickets for a 5 0clock flight back to Truro City. Daisy Zane nodded and asked, Are you going back also? I Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, Does Lucia want me to go back with her? I dont. Daisy Zane blurted out. Kevin rk was choked again, and the smile at the corners of his mouth was frozen. Seeing his expression, a smile appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes. Kevin rkughed again and said, Ill send you to the airport. I still have some things to deal with in the Imperial Capital. I should be able to return after the sixth. Daisy Zane nodded. Lucia, is your next film going to be shot in the Imperial Capital? No. Daisy Zane refused sinctly. Are you trying to annoy me on purpose? Kevin rk couldnt help but pinch her face. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows at him. Kevin rk couldnt stand her and gave up: Go wash and rinse, Im leaving. Okay. Daisy Zane agreed, theny back in bed. She looked at the ceiling light, sorted outst nights events, and confirmed that she hadnt missed any important information before getting out of bed to wash and rinse. When they went to the airport in the afternoon, Daisy Zane got her cell phone back. She had silenced the phone when giving it to Hill Dawson, so ity quietly in Hill Dawsons bag, without making any noise,pletely forgotten. When Daisy Zane got it back, there were many messages inside. Most of them were messages and phone calls from Felix Baker and Holt Lawrence. Felix was asking her aboutst nights events, while Holt probably sawst nights entertainment news and knew she was in the Imperial Capital, and had been trying to arrange a meeting with her. Daisy Zane put on her headphones, replied to Holts message saying she was heading back to Truro City, and then called back Felix. Kevin rk sat beside her and only saw her dialing Felixs number. Then he heard her say, Im fine. After that, he just heard her keep agreeing. Lord knows what Felix was saying on the other end, but he talked for a long time. In the end, Daisy Zane ended the conversation with a Get lost. But during those few minutes, Kevin rk had figured out how to deal with Felix. Eh? Is that a convoy outside? Hill Dawson suddenly said, So grand, who is it? Such a big show just for going out? Kevin rk and Daisy Zane looked at each other. The driver said, Third Master, it seems that the Lane Familys Patriarch has returned to the capital. Kevin rk looked out again, Postpone tonights events, lets go to the Lane Family first. Yes. Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rk, rarely hearing such a respectful tone from him. Even when mentioning his parents, his words were filled with familial warmth and not so much the respect and reverence he showed now. Noticing her gaze, Kevin rk turned his head to look at her, Uncle Lane is my mentor. He taught me a lot of things. LaneUncle? Im his senior. Kevin rk smiled. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows: So Young Master Lane should call you Third Uncle? Yeah. Kevin rkughed, He doesnt call me that. Instead, he has me call him Brother. We had a fight, and then we called each other by our first names. Daisy Zane alsoughed, looking out of Kevin rks car window at the convoy outside: So the Lane Familys Patriarch is often not in Imperial Capital? Yeah, usually in Oxford City. Kevin rk said, If theres nothing going on, most of the Lane Family would be back in the capital by January 5th each year. Why? Kevin rk hesitated for a moment. Daisy Zane looked at him, I just asked casually. You dont have to answer. Its okay. Kevin rk said, January 5th is the eldest daughter of the Lane Familys birthday. By the 5th, no matter where the Lane Family members are or what they are doing, they will return home. So this eldest daughter of the Lane Family is truly a precious gem on a pedestal. Daisy Zanes first thought was just how grand the event must be. The Lane Family owns two Doomsday Hotels, where the prices soar sky-high. She has to admit that she has a bit of a grudge against the wealthy. Theres even a youngdy in the Lane Family? Hill Dawson gossiped, Ive never heard of it, I only heard theres a young master Lane. Kevin rk originally didnt want to say more, but seeing Daisy Zanes curiosity, he said: William Lane has two younger sisters. The elder one is twenty-two this year. The younger one is only eighteen. Daisy Zane nodded, it seemed the rtionship between the rk and Lane Families was really good. It turned out that not everything heard from the outside could be trusted. So, youre going back to Truro City on the 6th for the Lane Family eldest daughters birthday? Daisy Zane looked at him calmly, her tone normal, as if it was the most ordinary conversation. But Kevin rks heart still thumped, and his words stuttered: I, I Hill Dawson watched the two of them,ughed a little, and turned his head back to stop participating in their conversation. I I have to apany my parents since my older brother isnt home. Daisy Zane responded with an Oh, then lowered her head to look at her phone again. Kevin rks lips moved slightly, a visible sign of inner panic. He licked his lips, and reached out to hold Daisy Zanes hand: Lucia. The driver had never seen this side of the Third Master before. After holding back for a long time, he couldnt help but nce at him for a moment. When he looked away, his back was covered in cold sweat. Thankfully, thankfully, he wasnt discovered peeking! Whats the matter? Daisy Zane looked as if she had no idea what had happened. Kevin rk looked at her carefully. Daisy Zane looked at him for a moment, then turned her head to look out the window,ughing so hard that her shoulders trembled. Kevin rk: .. That little girl was messing with him again.. Chapter 97 - 95: So Cruel Chapter 97: Chapter 95: So Cruel Trantor: 549690339 On the next day after Daisy Zane returned to Truro City, she started filming. The progress was good, and the shooting went smoothly, finishing a few days ahead of schedule. Moreover, it just so happened that the final scene Daisy acted in was Riley Maxwellsst scene as well. Daisy Zanes acting was absolutely brilliant, really touching the depths of ones soul. Everyone on the film set was touched, and they all emotionally entered the plot. There was even a fleeting moment when it felt like they had encountered the war-ravaged era separated by a century. It took the director a while to fully immerse himself before he shouted, Cut! While the others were still immersed, Daisy Zane had already snapped out of character and returned to her usual aloofness, as if she was a cold-hearted person. Since it was Riley Maxwellsst scene, There was a small celebration after filming, with flowers, group photos, and farewells But there were still other shooting tasks, so the small celebration ended quickly. Hey, Riley, wait a moment. George Dunn stopped her. Give me your contact information. When its time for the casting of Flynn Ninevaras script, Ill let you know. Daisy Zane looked at him but didnt move. George Dunn took the cell phone from his assistants hand, Hurry up, I still have to change clothes. After some thought, Daisy Zane gave him her other mobile number. She had two mobile numbers: one was more private, and the other was easy to find and she used for herpany. When she had contacted George Dunn in the past, she had used the more private one. Now, she gave him the other number as well. She had already reminded him twice, but he didnt believe her. So she would just keep hiding her identity. Alright, just wait for my notice. George Dunn said, Thetest will be right after the New Year. Okay. After George Dunn left, Anisa Cooper immediately moved closer, excitedly saying, Daisy, are you going to be in Catherine Gods drama now? From what Best Actor Dunn said, the chances of it happening are 90%. Theres not even a 1% chance. Huh? Anisa Coopers face suddenly fell. Why though? Youre so good, Catherine will definitely choose you. Daisy Zane nced at her, not saying anything. Why? Because when she wrote the script, she never intended to cast herself. After leaving the film set, Robinson Scott, Kevin rk, and Allonzo Hobson were all waiting outside. When Daisy Zane arrived, Robinson Scott and Allonzo Hobson were ring at each other, looking like they were about to start a fight at any moment. Happy wrap. Kevin rk walked a few steps towards her and handed her a gift bag. Theres a gift, too? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, taking it. Not only is there a gift, but there are also flowers. Allonzo Hobson came over with the flowers and handed them to her, Happy wrap. Daisy Zane smiled, taking the flowers from his hand, Thank you, Young Master Hobson. No need to thank me. Allonzo Hobson pointed at Kevin rk, He paid the money. Stingy. Robinson Scott muttered under his breath. You Allonzo Hobson red at Robinson Scott and took a deep breath, Im in a good mood today, so I wont stoop to your level. I dont even want to bother with you. Robinson Scott and Allonzo Hobson would immediately start bickering whenever they met. Now, everyone couldpletely ignore the existence of the two of them. Kevin rk helped her hold the flowers, saying, Shall we go eat together? As a celebration of the wrap. Lets skip the celebration and just have a meal together, Daisy Zane said, Then go back and continue working on Charles Amos. Alright. A few people walked together towards the parked cars, but after only a few steps, a voice sounded from behind. Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane, wait a minute. Daisy Zane stopped in her tracks and turned to look back. She saw Serena Buster wearing a cheongsam, holding a bunch of flowers and running over to her: Daisy Zane When Serena Buster arrived at her side, she took a couple breaths: Why did you leave so quickly? I was just touching up my makeup, and you disappeared. Daisy Zane looked at her without saying anything. The others were also looking at her. These are for you. Serena Buster handed Daisy Zane the pot of flowers in both of her hands. Daisy Zane looked at the lively green leaves: This is Gardenia flower, Serena Buster said, I bought it for you on purpose. Take good care of it, and it will stay with you. Kevin rk watched the girl with a little annoyance in his heart C what did she mean by staying with her forever? And she even bought it on purpose. Daisy Zane didnt reach out her hand. Both of them were in the same drama crew and had important roles, but their interaction was limited. Their scenes together were few and far between; Daisy Zane had already wrapped up her filming, and they could count on one hand the number of their exchanges on the set. But even so, Daisy Zane still felt that Serena Buster seemed to have a different kind of unspoken affection for her Serena Buster was a very persistent person. Once she set her mind on a path, even if it was painful to walk, she would keep going. At the same time, her character seemed a bit soft and was easily bullied, not knowing how to fight back. Maybe she had been bullied before, so when she was talking to others, she was always very cautious and careful. It was as if she couldnt determine whether the other person was good or bad, so she was even more cautious. However, when she faced Daisy Zane, she was very open-minded, always headstrong and never caring about the consequences. It was as if she had already categorized Daisy Zane as a good person. By the way, havent we met before? Everyone was watching quietly when Robinson Scott suddenly spoke up. Serena Buster had been looking at Daisy Zane all the time, only then did she nce at the others and nod. Daisy Zane nced at Robinson Scott. In her memory, there was indeed no record of any experience rted to Serena Buster. Robinson Scott walked a few steps closer to Daisy Zane, slung his arm around her shoulder, and said, Daisy, have you forgotten? It was about two or three years ago, at the Imperial Capital Bar. Daisy Zane wanted to say shed been to so many bars, which one were you talking about? That time, Robinson Scott said, seeing that she didnt remember, A man was bullying a female waitress. Touching her and partaking in all kinds of inappropriate conduct, while others were cheering him on. You then took a bottle of wine and smashed the guys head. Arthur North and Allonzo Hobson both looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes mouth twitched. She did have a vague impression. Robinson Scott continued, With one hit, the mans head started bleedinz, but he still wouldnt shut up. He held his head in pain while fiercely cursing and saying the waitress should be happy to get touched. Serena Buster lowered her head, biting her lip lightly, her face turning a little red. She was the waitress, and Daisy Zane had saved her back then; Serena would always remember that. Then what happened? Kevin rk asked with a smile, looking at Daisy Zane. Then? Robinson Scott chuckled, Then, Daisy grabbed the guys cor and dragged him into a nearby private room. She stomped on him mercilessly. Anisa Coopers head snapped like a rattle and she looked at Daisy Zane. Her skinny Olivia sister was so fierce? Kevin rks smile froze at the corner of his mouth. Allonzo Hobsons eyes widened like a magnifying ss, No, she stepped on him mercilessly. With a single stomp, Daisy ruined the guy. Oh, the terrible screams, Robinson Scott narrated vividly, She even said, Since you look like this, you wont mind if I step on you, right? Kevin rk: Allonzo Hobson shivered involuntarily, retreating a few steps, keeping a great distance between himself and Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane furrowed her eyebrows lightly, Was I really that cruel back then? Do you have any misunderstandings about yourself? Robinson Scott replied, You were much more fierce than that.. Chapter 98 - 96: Bullying the Child Chapter 98: Chapter 96: Bullying the Child Trantor: 549690339 In the past, Daisy Zane was indeed more ruthless and wild. Perhaps being young and having fewer concerns, she could hardly control herself. If there was a matter that could be resolved with one punch, she definitely wouldnt bother saying a single word. But now shes an actress, a public figure, and has to be measured in everything she does. Furthermore, her thinking has be much more mature andposed than before, believing that some problems could be solved by talking. Watching others being frustrated to the point of nearly losing their breath was quite enjoyable. Were you the waitress? Daisy Zane asked, looking at Serena Buster. Serena Buster nced at her and quickly lowered her head, gently nodding: You never recognized me, so I didnt mention it. Daisy really didnt have any impression of this face. Logically speaking, Serena Buster was so beautiful that she shouldnt have been unmemorable. Brother Nine, she wasnt this beautiful before. Robinson Scott whispered very quietly in her ear. Daisy understood, so she probably really didnt pay attention to her before. She reached out and took the gardenia flower pot from her hand: They seem to be about to shoot over here, you should go check it out. Mm. Do you have anything else to say? Daisy asked, seeing her not moving. Well I wanted to say thank you. Serena Buster lowered her head and looked away, Thank you for rmending me to the director. Otherwise, I wouldnt have gotten this opportunity. Daisy held the flower pot in one hand and twisted a leaf with her other hand, saying, You dont have to thank me. I just thought the role would have a better effect with some contrast, so I rmended you. But if you werent good enough, you wouldnt have gotten the role. Yeah, but I still want to thank you. After Serena Buster said this, she nced at her, So Ill go now. Mm. After Serena Buster left, Harton rk took the flower from Daisy Zanes hand: Ill help you hold it. Give it to Charles when we get back, have him take care of it. Daisy said. Ah, what did little Charles do wrong? Robinson Scott said, Every day besides copying books, studying, now he has to raise flowers, poor thing. Then you raise it. Ahem Robinson Scott coughed a little, Well, I I dont have time, I have to leave tomorrow. Will I see you after the New Year? Daisy asked. As if something terrifying suddenly came into his mind, Robinson Scott shivered: If my father doesnt kill me, I guess so. Daisy chuckled. After picking up Charles from the Evesting Pce, everyone went to the Doomsday Hotel for a meal. After the meal, while waiting at a red light near a Snack Street, Charles sat in the car, constantly pulling Daisys hand to look outside. What are you doing? I want ice cream. Daisy nced outside and thought for a moment, Assistant Jackson, find a ce to park up ahead. All right, Lady Zane. Now Michael Jackson would virtually ignore Harton rks presence in Daisy Zanes presence and listen only to what Daisy said. The four of them were in one car, with Robinson Scott and Anisa Cooper in Allonzo Hobsons car. And the three of them had missed the red light, so their car was nowhere to be seen. The four of them got out of the car, and Daisy put a fluffy rabbit-eared hat on Charles. Charles chubby little face was surrounded by the hat, making him even cuter. He was also wearing a lot of clothes, and being short, he looked like a little chubby ball. Looking at this chubby little fellow, Daisys mood improved a lot. Harton also smiled. Perhaps it was a bit too cold today, and there werent many people buying ice cream. Soon they arrived at the counter, and Charles tried to look up, but he could only see the cashier. He looked straight at Daisy and said in a babyish voice, I want chocte vor. Mm. Daisy, wearing a mask, looked at the waitress and said, One strawberry vor, please. The waitresss hand hesitated, she looked at Daisy, not moving. I want chocte vor. Charles repeated, scrunching his little face. Daisy didnt even look at him. I heard, order the strawberry one. Charles was immediately angered, puffing up like a little blowfish. Kevin cleared his throat, covering hisughter. Michael stood behind them, shaking withughter. In the end, the waitress ordered the strawberry ice cream. When it was time to pay, Daisy stopped Kevin from taking out his cell phone and looked down at Charles, saying, Pay. Charles crossed his little arms and turned away from her, I dont have any money. Stop talking nonsense. Daisy saidzily, James gives you money every month, and Robinson transferred some to you on New Years Day do I need to continue? Charles didnt speak. Kevin looked down at Daisys hand blocking his, hesitated, then held her hand, putting it in his pocket. Michael, who had been watching the whole time: So what? Daisy let Kevin do as he pleased, just looking down at Charles, Are you saving your money to get married? Charles ignored her. Fine. Daisy mocked, So young and already thinking about a wife, forgetting about your mother. Charles looked up at her, huffing angrily. Then he took out his cell phone from his clothes pocket, found the payment code, stood on his tiptoes, stretched out his hand, and handed the phone to the waitress with difficulty. After that, he got a strawberry-vored ice cream. But he only took two bites before Daisy took it away, Children should eat less. Charless expression was as if he had been struck by lightning. He should have known, she insisted on strawberry vor because she wanted to eat it herself! But Daisy only took one bite before Kevin took the ice cream away, You should eat less, too. Its too cold today. Be good, Kevin said, Girls should eat less cold food. Daisy nced at the ice cream in his hand. What was the point of her getting out of the car? Well, its better to have one bite than none at all. She looked down at Charless scrunched-up face, thought for a moment, picked him up, and walked towards Snack Street, Lets go buy something else to eat. Charles immediately smiled, hugging her neck and leaning happily on her shoulder,ughing so much he forgot he was a little buck-toothed kid, Alright! Kevin looked at their backs, one big and one small, smiling. Then he took a bite of the ice cream in his hand, and the smile in his eyes grew deeper. Even the deepughter in his eyes seemed sweet. Seeing this, Michael took a light breath. Boss, if you wanted to eat, our family could buy all the ice cream in Truro City. Why settle for leftovers? Sigh Men When Charles, being carried by Daisy, came out of Snack Street, he was put back on the ground. Taking small steps, he walked on while looking at the eggette in his hand, then at the bags full of food in Michael and Kevins hands. He btedly realized that Daisy only carried him to make it easier for him to pay. In just one hour, his little wallet would be empty. The money he had worked so hard to save for her New Year gift was spent just like that Never underestimate a womans buying power. It seems that he needs to n for the future; otherwise, he wont be able to support her. Chapter 99 - 97: Fail Chapter 99: Chapter 97: Fail Trantor: 549690339 After thest day of filming, Daisy Zane lounged around at home for three days. During these three days, Arthur North and Charles Amos came to see her during the day. Moreover, early in the morning on the third day, Arthur North dragged her out for a morning jog. They ran two rounds around the perimeter of the housing estate. Daisy, your physical strength is very good, and your stamina is excellent too. Arthur North spoke while running. Daisy Zane looked at him: Youre not bad either. Arthur North helped her to tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ears: Thank you for your praise, Daisy. They went back home for a shower and breakfast after the morning jog. After breakfast, the two adults were sitting opposite each other at a long table, each with aputer. Arthur North was reviewing some new experimental reports, and Daisy Zane was making corrections to a script. If the two were sitting side by side, it would be very obvious that the line spacing on their respectiveputers was different. Charles, on the other hand, was sitting obediently next to Daisy Zane, working on a thick geometry book. He generally wrote smoothly, but asionally he would get stuck. Observing that Charles had been stationary for a while, Daisy Zane would nce over to help him pinpoint the key points or to draw an auxiliary line and such. Write your characters neatly.. Daisy Zane said, Look at how messy yours are. Charles nced at her, erased the characters he had just written with an eraser, and rewrote them. Arthur North closed a report, opened a new one, and then nced up when he heard Daisy Zanes words. Whats wrong? Daisy Zane felt his gaze without raising her head. Arthur North hesitated, then finally said, Nothing. Charles Amos was with him all day; naturally, he had seen his handwriting. Even at his young age, there was a majestic momentum in his handwriting. It was much better looking than Daisy Zanes grade-schooler script. And she had the nerve toin about Charles handwriting. Sigh Forget it, he could not say it. Arthur North could only divert his gaze back to theputer. However, upon reading just the beginning of the report, he frowned. The line spacing of this report was much smaller than the one he had just seen. Someone had submitted a report without following his instructions again. Arthur North scrolled up and saw the name. The two big characters Nicholson Amos came into his view. He looked at the two characters, paused for two seconds, then, without hesitation, filled in the score under the name. Fifty-nine points. Although all of them were personnel secretly trained by the research institute, they were also students of Imperial Capital University. They had to pass the exams of Imperial Capital University first, then be selected through three levels of exams by the research institute to be personnel secretly trained. Therefore, they also needed to take exams at the end of the term. These experimental reports were part of the exam for the students Arthur North was in charge of this semester. The rules of the research institute were very strict. During the two-year training program, if anyone failed any subject at any time, they would have to extend their graduation by one year. Those who did not graduate would not be able to obtain official qualifications to enter the research institute and would not be able to ess the core studies therein. After filling in the score expressionlessly, Arthur North saved it. He then copied the whole file once more, changing the line spacing to 1.5 times. He re-read her report. Scores were scores, format was format, and it irritated him as it should. Nevertheless, Arthur North was still keen to read the reports written and the experimental analyses done by Nicholson Amos. Two hourster, Daisy Zane was still engrossed in editing her script, from time to time consulted the director on revision suggestions. Suddenly, she received a message. She nced at her phone but ignored it. Not until thirty minutester, when a phone call came in did she look at the number and then hang up directly. The moment she had hung up, another call came in. Only then did she pick up her phone, block the number, and incidentally looked at the iing message. Who is it? Arthur North asked her while he poured her a ss of water. He also poured a ss for Charles. Johanes Miles. Why is he contacting you again? I dont know. Daisy Zane took a sip of water, then opened the message from the assistant. Then she saw her score of fifty-nine. In an instant, both Kevin rk and Charles Amos raised their heads and looked at her, sensing the sudden rage that quite literally, came out of nowhere. Charles shrank his neck, clearly scared by her sudden outburst. Kevin grabs her ss of water, fearing that in her rage, she may squeeze and shatter the ss, hurting her hand in the process. Whats wrong? Daisy held her cell phone tight, her mind filled with images of oil slicked hair, bald heads, beer bellies, thick sses She wanted to preserve this person in a Formalinmp. Daisy? Kevin rk called out to her again. Daisy looked up at him. The unkempt image in her mind was instantly reced by Kevins face. And she felt immediately better. Its nothing. I encountered an idiot Daisy was about to finish her sentence, but Kevin raised his eyebrows. She looked at Charles next to her, and swallowed her words: I ran into a fool. Kevin looked at her for two seconds, thenughed. He realised that Daisy was slowly showing her true self in front of him: Do you need me to handle it for you? Forget it. Daisy chatted with her assistant on her phone while propping her chin with her hand. Dont argue with an old man, hes too old for this. Her tone wasnt one of indifference but rather, it seemed like she was ready for a fight to the end. Daisy questioned the assistant about the issue and after a while, the assistant replied: [The professor said, you should revise your report again. He said if there is another time, then] The assistant didnt finish the sentence, but Daisy had anticipated it wouldnt be anything good. Looking at the text If there is another time, Daisy frowned. She had never done anything else but arguing with the professor about the line spacing on her reports. But She remembered clearly that she had changed it. But when she opened her experimental report She was greeted by the familiar line spacing. It was definitely still eighteen pounds. Daisys temples twitched. She felt like she was seeing a ghost?! However, she didnt know, the day before handing in the report, Charles had opened that report when he was using herputer. Seeing that the line spacing in the report was not like the one she usually used, knowing that she has OCD in this aspect, he kindly helped her revise it. And Daisy, believing that no one would dare touch her stuff, didnt check the history. Helping Charles evade the bullet. In the office of Johanes Miles at the Miles Group. Liam Davis, holding three project proposals that Johanes Miles had coveted for a long time, sat in his office. Mr. Davis, is this Youre preparing for a family recognition banquet, admitting Daisy Zane rightfully back into the family and these three projects are all yours. Liam Davis replied, Afterwards, our Davis and Scarlet families will be united by marriage and the Scarlet family can count on any form of support from the Davis family. Johanes Miles looked at the three proposals, slightly stunned: But.. I met Mrs. Davis a while ago, and she seemed unwilling to form this alliance All my mother cares about is that Daisy doesnt have a rightful identity. Liam Davis reassured him. Once you have recognised her as your daughter, she will be thedy of the Scarlet family. With the current status of the Scarlet family, being united with the Davis family would be seen as an equal match. Dont you agree, Uncle Scarlet? A while ago, Liam Davis had been sent abroad by his father. He had just returned the day before. He heard that Daisy wrapped up filming, so he went to stand at the entrance of the Evesting Pce early in the morning, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Then he saw her, doing a morning run with a man. Although that man maintained a sensible distance from her. But he still detected that Daisys attitude towards that man was different. Although he had not interacted much with Daisy, he didnt understand why he was so enamoured with her. He was so infatuated that it became an obsession; he didnt even want to look at other women. It was probably what youd call love at first sight. One sight of her and he was hooked, regardless of her personality or background, he would still love her, believing that shes the best in every way. So, regardless of the method used, he must marry Daisy Zane. Even if it meant causing a scene at home, defying his mother or even pressurising Daisy. The weight of Liam Daviss words made Johanes Miles feel ttered. The Scarlet family being an equal match with the Davis family That was indeed a prestigious alliance for the Scarlet family. But Johanes was still being a little realistic: ButMr. Davis and Mrs. Davis Uncle Scarlet, you know Ive taken over thepany. I have the final say on all matters in thepany. Liam Davis knew Johanes was a materialistic person, only interested in money, As for my parents, I will naturally persuade them. So about Daisy, Ill have to trouble Uncle Scarlet. Chapter 100 - 98: Planning a Family Recognition Banquet Chapter 100: Chapter 98: nning a Family Recognition Banquet Trantor: 549690339 He really said that? Old Master Miles said. Yes. After Liam Davis left thepany, Johanes Miles went to Old Master Miles residence and told him about the whole situation. It seems that Liam really likes Daisy. Old Master Miles remarked. Yes. Johanes Miles made tea for Old Master Miles, There was no movement for some time, and with her mother telling me those words, I thought he had already fallen for someone else. I didnt expect that he would still be thinking about her, and he even brought the project proposal directly to my office. How did he put it? He said that if I could confirm the date of the Family Recognition Banquet, he would give me all three projects. Johanes Miles recalled the three projects, his eyes shing with excitement, If those three projects can be done, the Miles Group will take another big step forward, which is equivalent to three years less of struggle. Old Master Miles chuckled. Theughter clearly contained the thought, Arent Daisys fates with Miles family really as grand as the Grand Master said? Thats just the condition for the Family Recognition Banquet. Johanes Miles said, After the two families get married, there will be even more conditions. From the way Liam Davis acts, hes willing to spend a fortune for Daisy. Old Master Miles said, Actually, his n isnt bad. When our families join forces, the stronger the Miles family gets, the more advantageous it will be for the Davis family. Both families will be able to progress together and reach new heights. Yes. Johanes Miles said, Over the years, our family and the Hobson family have also been moving forward in this mutual sess. So Johanes. Old Master Miles sipped his tea and said, Dont dwell too much on the Hobson family. Johanes Miles hand holding the fair cup paused for a moment. Although our familys current status is inseparable from the help of the Hobson family, they havent been short of our support either. We have contributed a lot to their sess in the Imperial Capital, and we have done right by them. Johanes Miles expression suddenly brightened as if a knot in his heart had been untied. You dont have to be scrupulous about Charles Hobson either. Old Master Miles said solemnly, Even if you hold the Family Recognition Banquet, Daisy wont move in with the Miles family because of her personality. For Charles, nothing will change. Her status wont change, and the status of Henry Smith and Sophie Johnson wont change either. The only change will be that the Miles family will get better and better. I understand. Johanes Miles said, I will talk to her about it. As the head of the family, you just need to inform her about some things. Old Master Miles snorted, Youve been too good to her over the years, and the Hobson family has also be increasingly arrogant. I got it. You dont have to feel guilty either. Old Master Miles continued, You havent done anything wrong to them. Bringing Daisy home and making it up to her is what you should do. You owe her this. On a deeper level, its also Charles Hobson who owes her it was she who tangled with you first back then. Yes. Daisy is a bit stubborn, which actually makes her quite simr to you. Both of you cant let go of the things deep in your hearts and are unwilling topromise. As a father, if you want to make it up to her, then show your attitude. I will. Hearing that Daisy was like him, Johanes softened a bit. If she refuses to see you, pay her a few more visits. Old Master Miles said, If that doesnt work, Ill go. By virtue of my age, she should still give me some face. Alright. Johanes Miles responded, Adding more trouble for my father again. Lets not talk about that within the family. Old Master Miles took a sip of tea, then paused for a moment to ask, How is Henry Smith? Last time I spoke to him on the phone, he was just asking about me. I didnt get a chance to ask him. He has joined the Spotlightpany. Johanes Miles said, Everything is going smoothly. He insisted on learning jewelry design instead of management. Old Master Miles said, He had our familyspany at his disposal but chose to work in someone elsespany. Young people these days have big ideas. Hes still young, and after a few years of experience outside, he wille back. I know Henry Smith is a responsible person and takes care of the family. Old Master Miles said, I just feel that since hes going toe back eventually, why bother going through all the trouble? Whats the significance of these few years? Johanes Miles lowered his eyes to sip tea and said, Perhaps for him, it is of great importance. Old Master Miles nced at him but didnt say anything. Kevin rk stayed with Daisy in Truro City for a few days and then returned to the Imperial Capital. He took Michael Jackson with him, leaving Juan Wright to take care of Charles Amos. So even when Kevin was not around, Charles Amos would still go to his ce every evening to sleep. Daisy also visited theboratory at Truro University several times.. Chapter 101 - 98: Planning a Family Recognition Banquet_2 Chapter 101: Chapter 98: nning a Family Recognition Banquet_2 Trantor: 549690339 Although she couldnt ess the core research at the Research Institute, she now had ess to 319. So, she could conduct some research on her own. But there had been no significant progress so far. The main ingredient of 319 was simply nothing like any existing Thing, impossible to study and there were no previous records. The most convenient way was to find that group of people, including Alice Eugene. However, after that day, they disappeared without a trace, and there was no information about them whatsoever During this time, Johanes Miles and Liam Davis came to the outside of Evesting Pce to find her several times. But she deliberately avoided them, not wanting to meet them. Until one early morning, Old Master Miles waited for her outside the Evesting Pce. It was then that Daisy Zane met them. With Old Master Miles, not only did Amelia Milese, but also Amelia Miles. Juan Wright went out to buy breakfast and was about to return when he saw the scene from afar. Daisy Zane one against three. He immediately called her: Lady Zane, whats the situation there, do you need my help? No need. Daisy Zane nced at the three of them, walked a few steps away, and said, You can go back. I can handle them with one hand. Juan Wright chuckled and said, Alright. If you need anything, just give me a call. It something happens to you, no, it you lose a single hair, Third Master will have my life. Daisy Zane casually raised the corner of her mouth, which could almost be overlooked: Dont worry, for the sake of your life, I wont lose any hair today. Alright, thank you, Lady Zane. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane looked at the three of them: Is there anything you need? Sister, Dad and Grandpa miss you. Amelia Miles held Old Master Miless arm and said, So they came to see you. Please let us in and sit down, also to take a look at where Sister lives. I heard that the house price of Evesting Pce is expensive. Zane, its been a long time since west met. The Old Master smiled kindly, Youve be more beautiful since thest time we met. Daisy Zane gave him a polite smile and directly ignored Amelia Miless words, saying, Theres a tea house up ahead. Amelia Miles raised the corner of her mouth and sneered disdainfully. But Daisy Zane didnt look at her, so she naturally didnt see it either. Alright, lets go and sit there. Johanes Miles said. They arrived at the tea house and sat down. Daisy Zane sat alone on one side, not wanting to be close to them. Amelia Miles brewed tea, very professionally, with the air of a wealthy youngdy in every move. It seemed to be deliberately done for Daisy Zanes benefit, every step was extremely detailed and thorough. She evaluated the tea set, tea fragrance, and tea color. She even nced at Daisy Zane from time to time. It was as if she was ridiculing Daisys shallowness, ignorance, and vulgarity. Finally, when pouring the tea, she deliberately filled Daisys cup full and ced it in front of her. The spout of the teapot was also facing her. Daisy Zane looked down, her expression unchanged, and looked at Old Master Miles. Out of respect for an elderly person, she asked politely, Is there anything you need? I mainly came to apologize today. Johanes Miles lowered his posture and said, I, as a father, am ipetent. I left you in the Countryside when you were just a child, and have ignored you for all these years. I want to apologize to you. Amelia Miles lowered her head and sipped her tea, her fingers grabbing the teacup tightly until her knuckles turned white. But Daisy Zane just looked at him, didnt say anything, and didnt even change her expression. An apology alone, besides lowering the Director Miles status, could make up for nothing. Without any conversation, Old Master Miles tried to break the ice: There is also a piece of good news to tell you. Daisy Zane looked at him. The Miles Family is nning to hold a Family Recognition Banquet before or after the New Year, to recognize you as a member of the Miles Family. Old Master Miles said, By then, youll be one of the youngdies of the Miles Family, and youll get a share of whatever Amelia has. Daisy Zane looked at Amelia Miles, seeing her holding the teacup, trying her best to maintain her gentleness, but her face turned pale from the heat of the tea. She raised her eyebrows, Really? Yes. Johanes Miles said, thinking that Daisy Zane would be very happy to hear this news, The Family Recognition Banquet will be held publicly, and from then on, you will be the legitimate youngdy of the Miles Family. But Daisy Zane didnt show any change or put the identity of the Miles youngdy to heart. She deliberately asked Amelia Miles, Do you agree? Amelia Miles, being asked, hurriedly smiled: Of course I agree. Sister and I are both our fathers daughters and should have the same. I am very happy that Sister cane back and our family can be reunited. Really? Daisy Zane asked again, deliberately stabbing at her sore spot to see how long she could pretend. Of course its true. Amelia Miless smile was about to fade. Daisy Zane scoffed, Theres no need for a Family Recognition Banquet. Just give me a share of whatever Amelia has. She looked at Johanes Miles: You know that what I want is not too much. Johanes Miles looked startled for a moment, unable to react immediately. Youre all members of the Miles Family, so of course its not too much. Old Master Miles said in time. Daisy Zane ambiguously hooked the corner of her lips: Since youve delivered the message, if theres nothing else, Ill leave. I have some things to do. After saying that, she stood up, picked up her teacup in front of her, and ced it upside down on the table. The tea quickly spread and soaked the tablecloth. She pulled out a tissue and slowly wiped her slender fingers: Miss Miles tea art and etiquette still need some work. Double-edged words, she nced at the spout facing her: Otherwise, youll beughed at when you go out. Amelia Miles face turned from pale to red instantly. She originally wanted to make Daisy Zane look bad in front of her grandfather and father, to show them how vulgar the girl from the Countryside waspared to herself. But in the end, she was the one who ended up looking bad Daisy Zane smiled at her indifferently, nodded to Old Master Miles, and left. As soon as Daisy Zane left, Old Master Miles face immediately darkened. He looked very unhappy with Amelia Miles: Amelia, what you did today was a bit too much. Grandpa After calling him, Amelia Miles lowered her head. She is your sister. When she returns to the Miles Family, you will all be daughters of the Miles Family, members of the same family. Dont bully her just because she has lived in the Countryside. I didnt, I just Youre not a child anymore, youre grown up. You should know your limits. Old Master Miles interrupted, No matter the reason, this kind of thing shall not happen again in the future. In the end, its the Miles Family who loses face. Amelia Miles clenched her hands tightly, feeling sick to her stomach and blocked at her chest, as if she couldnt breathe. But she still obediently said, I know, Grandpa, its my fault. Hmm. Old Master Miles said, Your sisters return is helping the Miles Family. You wont lose anything that is rightfully yours. Dont think too much. Amelia Miles nails pierced the palm of her hand, the stinging pain made her a little sober. The title of Miss Miles had been stolen, so who was she? It was Daisy Zane who was the illegitimate daughter that could not be shown in public. I know, Grandpa.. Chapter 102 - 99: Afraid You ‘Il Help Me Forget Chapter 102: Chapter 99: Afraid You Il Help Me Forget Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane didnt return to the Evesting Pce for three consecutive days, staying at Truro Universitysboratory instead. She would rest in theboratory when she was tired, and continue her experiments after waking up. As a result, she had been rejecting Kevin rks video calls for three days in a row, switching them all to voice calls instead. This made Kevin rk, who was in the Imperial Capital Research Institute, quite uneasy. He felt as if something bad was about to happen. Not until the early morning of the fourth day did Daisy return home, took a bath, and went to bed. However, she was awakened by a phone call at just past ten oclock. Hello, Director Morris. The person who called her was her exclusive director, Morris. Morris was originally a producer with a strange temper sometimes, and often disliked everyone. He was famous for his weird temper in the industry. Because he couldnt find a director who could work with the actors, he became a director himself. He personally selected the scripts, actors, and producers. He even formed his own team, handling a series of productions from costumes, makeup, sets, to post-production. Morris seemed to be born specifically for this industry. By a stroke of luck, Daisy handed her script directly to him. He was attracted to it at first sight, and since then, he had never used anyone elses script. Flynn Ninevara became his exclusive screenwriter, and he became Flynns exclusive director. George Dunn then became the exclusive Male Lead for both of them. Fortunately, George was a versatile actor, able to fit into any role, saving the screenwriter and director from spending the whole day selecting actors. Morris was in his forties this year, never married, and had been immersed in movies and TV series all day. Also, he held a high position in the industry. Many things were done with just a single word from him. All of Lilian Lopezs works and variety shows were taken down by Morriss arrangements. Its sote, and you havent woken up yet? Morris heard Daisys vague voice over the phone. I sleptte, Daisy said, retreating into the quilt with her cell phone, and speaking in a muffled voice. Youre young, and still a girl, so dont stay up toote. Its not good for your health, and youll age faster. Yes, Daisy replied, youre obviously getting old, and nagging people more. What a way to talk. Morriss tone sounded like an elder, I dont even nag at others. Yes, Daisy replied, whats up? Ah, almost forgot, Morris said, I wanted to tell you that the script has been confirmed and revised. Im preparing for things here, and I want to set a date for casting. Yes, youre free to decide, Daisy knew his speed, like the wind when fast. I want to finalize the characters before the New Year, then have Script Reading and Martial Arts Training. The costumes, makeup, and set production will go on simultaneously. We should start shooting about a month after the New Year. Alright, Daisy replied. Im thinking of casting on the 30th, would you like toe and take a look? Finally got to the point. Before this, Morris never discussed these matters with her, he just went ahead and did them. Only when there was a problem with the script would he contact her. We havent seen each other in quite a long time, Morris imed, and besides you wrote the script yourself, dont you want to audition it yourself? I havent thought about that, maybeter, Daisy replied. Thene to the scene, Morris insisted, its so boring to watch the shooting videos every time. If youre not satisfied with the selection, I find it troublesome to re-select. This time, the Female Lead needs to be able to dance, have a good figure, and give off the vibe of ady from an ancient noble family. Im not quite confident about this character setting. Whats the date today? Daisy asked. 28th, Morris replied. Daisy suddenly opened her eyes that had been closed, and looked at the date on her cell phone with a sleepy gaze. It truly was the 28th. Whats wrong? Why theres no sound? Morris asked. Nothing, Daisys voice was somewhat clearer than before, Ill see if I have time to go. Really? Morris asked. Yes, Daisy confirmed. Great, Ill call you again tomorrow to ask. If theres no problem, Ill book a flight for you, Morris said. I can book it myself, Daisy replied. After hanging up, Daisy stared at the date on her phone for a while. Then she opened Kevin rks chat page and stared at it for a while too. In the end, she didnt say anything. She turned off her phone and went back to sleep. She slept straight through until it was past five oclock in the afternoon, and it was already dark outside. If it werent for her phone waking her up again, she might have continued sleeping. This time the call was from George Dunn. He first discussed the Male Leads character with her, and then asked if she would go to the casting on the 30th. Daisy told him directly that she wouldnt go. However, as soon as she hung up, he called back in. Daisy stared at the name for two seconds before remembering that he was calling her with another number. Daisy was speechless for a moment, then answered the phone, Best Actor Dunn, whats the matter? What the fuck! George cursed as soon as he heard her voice, Daisy, you just woke up too. I just called Catherine, and she just woke up as well. Your voices sound exactly the same, it scared the hell out of me. Daisy: Hey, how did you know it was me? George asked, I only kept your mobile number, I didnt give you mine. Daisy: I wanted to tease you. She wondered how she had seen something in this fool in the first ce. Right, I just wanted to tell you. On the 30th, in Imperial Capital, theyll be casting tor Catherines script, George said, Do you have time? Yes, Daisy replied. Alright, Ill send you the exact address, and you cane over. Let me know when you arrive, and Ill take you inside, George suggested. Yes, Daisy had nothing else to say to him except that. Alright, bye, George knew she didnt talk much and wasnt friendly to people. He didnt linger and hung up the phone right away. Daisy threw her phone to the side, looked at the dark sky outside,y down for a bit, and then sat up. Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she might as well go straight to Imperial Capital. As soon as this idea came up, Daisy immediately opened her phone and booked the nearest flight. She then got up and started packing. But just as she put her suitcase in the living room, she hadnt even changed her clothes yet. The doorbell rang. As she opened the door, she saw Kevin rk standing outside, wearing a ck trench coat, and exuding a chill. Clearly, he had just returned and hadnt even entered his home yet. His eyebrows and eyes were as finely drawn as if they were in a painting, like a mysterious faraway mountain after a light fog, mysterious, wicked, and enchanting. As Daisy saw him, a fleeting surprise shed in her eyes, Why are you back? If I donte back, Im afraid Daisy would forget about me, Kevins eyes were full of a smile, but there was a hint of grievance and pitifulness, You didnt even ept my video calls. Ive been busy this past few days, Daisy replied, stepping aside to let him in. Kevin came in and saw her pajamas and disheveled hair. He could tell she had just gotten up, Were you resting? No, Daisy said directly, I just got up. Kevin raised his eyebrow, entered the living room, and saw the suitcase, Are you going out? Yes, Daisy looked at the suitcase, went to pour him a ss of hot water, I was nning to go to the airport, but I didnt make it in time. Ill try again tomorrow. While she was talking, she calmly took out her phone and canceled her flight, which was supposed to take off in more than three hours..

While she was talking, she calmly took out her phone and canceled her flight, which was supposed to take off in more than three hours.. Chapter 103 - 100: Happy Birthday Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Happy Birthday Trantor: 549690339 Is Charles not here? Kevin rk took off his coat and sat down on the sofa. No, I slept all day, Daisy Zane said, I told Juan not toe. It seems she really was busy these past few days, not avoiding his video calls on purpose. Knowing the reason, Kevins heart lightened by more than half. The smile in his eyes became more rxed, no longer tense. It wasnt that she didnt want to see him, she was genuinely busy. Daisy Zane sat on the sofa for a while, then went to her room to fetch something for Kevin. A neat and delicate pearwood box with hand-carved bamboo on the lid. It looked newly made and freshly carved. Kevin looked at the box, then at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane stood in front of him, backlit by the light. Her bare face, phoenix eyes, and drooping gaze were slightlyzy and cold. But still breathtaking. For me? Mhm, Daisy Zane said softly, Happy birthday. Kevin was taken aback, You knew? Mhm, Daisy Zane replied, I saw your ID card, theres no mistake with the date, right? Kevin smiled, No. Then why did youe back today? Daisy Zane asked. I had lunch with my family, then came back, Kevin looked at her and smiled, I missed Daisy, so I hurried back. Daisy Zane didnt react to his words in any special way, just very calmly. She only pushed the box in her hand closer to him. Kevinughed, Thank you, Daisy. Daisy Zane didnt say anything, just turned to leave. But Kevin grabbed her hand, Where are you going? Im sitting over there. Daisy Zane pointed her chin at the sofa opposite him. Sit here. Kevin pulled her over to sit next to him. Daisy Zane didnt refuse, she took off her slippers and sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at her cell phone. Anisa Cooper shared a lot of gossip with her, so she casually flipped through them. Meanwhile, Kevin opened the wooden box. It contained an eaglewood bracelet that gave off a rich fragrance the moment it was opened. ncing at it, Daisy Zane lowered her head again. Kevin took out the bracelet. With twelve beads in total, each of them smaller than the usual bracelet beads, it looked more delicate. The ck eaglewood, each bead a deep color, shiny and oily, had a cool texture. It was very expensive eaglewood. Besides that, the ornaments on the bracelet were even more eye-catchinga pink lotus flower and a white lotus pod. Kevin examined the two ornaments closely. The lotus flower and lotus root were tiny, only about a centimeter in diameter. But the craftsmanship was exquisite and lifelike, as if they were real. Especially the lotus pod, with twelve tiny seeds that could move. Moreover, the lotus pod was made of superb mutton-fat jade, while the lotus flower was made of pink jadeite. Pink jadeite, also called pink jade, is extremely rare, even the raw stones are few. There are only a handful in the world, making their value impossible to estimate. Kevin looked at the bracelet in front of him in silence for a long time. He knew she was rich, but it seemed he had underestimated her financial strength. Daisy Hmm? Daisy Zane looked up at him. Kevin wanted to say the gift was too expensive, but seeing her slightly puzzled look, she was just too cute. So, he swallowed what he was going to say. He wore the bracelet directly on his left hand, Thank you, Daisy, I really like it. Daisy Zane looked down at his hand. Kevin rks hands were very good-looking, with prominent wrist bones and very fair skin. Upon putting the bracelet on, the ck beads contrasted sharply with his fair skin. Thebination exuded a mysterious charm, mirroring his own personality. Actually, Daisy Zane had struggled for a long time deciding between ck and red colors while choosing the beads. She eventually chose ck. She thought that Kevin rk was already attractive enough, without needing to add more allure with color. However, the ck beads turned out to be even more seductive than shed anticipated. I even engraved a mutton-fat jade lotus flower on it. Daisy Zane nced at his hand, But I thought pink looked better, so I didnt use that one. If you dont like the pink, I can swap it for that. No, I like it. Kevin rk suddenly embraced Daisy Zane, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered softly, Whatever Daisy thinks looks good, must be the best. Daisy Zanes body tensed slightly, but Kevin rk held her gently, and she soon rxed, not making any movements. Daisy Im a little tired. Kevin rk whispered, Can I hold you a little longer? Why dont you rest for a while? Just holding you for a while will be good. Kevin rks voice was soft and slightly heavy in Daisys ear, sending a tingling sensation down her spine. Daisy Zane couldnt help but nuzzle her ear against his shoulder. Kevin rk closed his eyes and chuckled, Daisy, dont move around. My self-control isnt that strong. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk didnt say anything else. He was really tired after so many days without proper rest. As time ticked by, the quietness around them became overwhelming. All they could hear were each others breaths and heartbeats. After a while, just when Daisy Zane thought that Kevin rk might have fallen asleep, her stomach growled. Gurgle_ In the quiet, the sound was exceptionally loud and jarring. Kevin rkughed softly, then, whether intentionally or not, nuzzled his eyes against her shoulder. Daisy Zane could clearly feel his face brushing against the side of her neck. She suddenly held her breath, her heartbeat bing irregr in that instant. Kevin rk released her, rubbing her head gently: Sit for a while. Ill bring Charles over and have Juan go buy some food. Okay. Daisy Zane replied calmly, showing no signs of emotion. However, as soon as Kevin rk left, she curled up on the sofa, sighing softly. It seemed like the situation was gettingplicated. Aunt ire, whats up? Amelia Miles was practicing in her dance studio when she suddenly received a call from Olivia Chester. Amelia, what are you doing? Are you busy? Olivia Chesters joyful voice came through the phone. Not really. Aunt ire, just tell me whats going on. Well, Catherine God is casting for a drama. Olivia Chester said, Its on the 30th in Imperial Capital. The female lead requires deep dance skills. So I thought Id let you give it a try. Me? Will I be able to do it? Thats Catherine God! Even as Amelia spoke modestly, a hint of pride flickered in her eyes, Ive never acted before. A lot of people havent acted before bing an actor, but they still win awards. These big productions have training, so dont worry. Olivia Chester said, Plus, your dance skills are outstanding. Youll definitely have no issue. But I never thought about going down the actor route Youre just experiencing life as a dance actor in the show. Olivia Chester said, And it will quickly increase your exposure. Then I can promote your dance further. This is just using the show to boost your visibility. Amelia Miles paused for a moment and said, Indeed, thats a good idea. Thats right. Even the most talented people need exposure for more people to recognize their abilities. Olivia Chester chuckled, This way, whether its for future Spotlight endorsements or bing a disciple of Kiara Lawrence, it will be very beneficial. Aunt ire, I understand. Amelia Miles hesitated for a moment before saying, Will my sister be going too? I havent heard anything yet. Olivia Chester sneered, I only just saw Morriss Facebook post about the recruitment order. That mean Hill Dawson will definitely take advantage of this opportunity. Shell surely take Daisy Zane with her. Amelia Miles didnt say anything. But for someone like Daisy Zane who knows nothing, a simple vase, Morris wouldnt even give her a nce. Olivia Chester said, Its pointless for her to go. Itll only make her the butt of a joke. Hearing this, Amelia Miless eyes shed with a hint of mockery. She smiled and said, I understand, Aunt ire. Ill prepare and head to Imperial Capital tomorrow. Alright, first head over to your uncles house. Olivia Chester said, Ive got some things to handle. Illeter tonight. Okay. Chapter 104 - 101: Your Two Children Are So Grown Up Now Chapter 104: Chapter 101: Your Two Children Are So Grown Up Now Trantor: 549690339 Hill Dawson indeed received the audition news, but not from the recruitment order, instead, a phone call from George Dunn. Because he was concerned that Daisy Zane might not be very reliable, George Dunn called her agent, Hill Dawson, after talking to Daisy. So Hill Dawson immediately took on a supervisory role. Early the next day, she went to Daisys ce, watched her, and forced her to go. Daisy had not nned to go originally. But she was so keen, and Morris calledter on. Finally, they only bought afternoon ne tickets. Not only her ticket but also those for Kevin rk, Charles Amos, and Hill Dawson. Its almost Chinese New Year, shed have to send Charles Amos back home. Hill Dawson had never known about Charles Amos existence. As a result, a scene emerged of Hill Dawson and Charles staring at each other wide-eyed. Daisy nced at the two of them and said softly, Call her Auntie. His name is Charles Amos. Hill Dawsons first reaction was that he was called Yenan Amos. Charles Amos looked at her, pursed his lips, and remained silent. He doesnt talk much. Daisy Zane exined. Hill Dawson kept looking at him for a while, then looked at Kevin rk, and then Daisy Zane. Suddenly, many melodramatic plots appeared in her head. Situations like Daisy Zane having a child for love, meeting the childs biological father many yearster, and the family of three living happily together. Or events like one-night stand in the past, meeting and falling in love again, and only to find out they have a child. {Daisy, you didnt tell me that you two had a child this big.} Daisy Zane was texting Monk Morris and paused when she heard that, turning her head to look at Hill Dawson. Kevin rk, hearing that, seemed to pause for a second before starting tough. Daisy nced at theughing Kevin rk and said, How did you figure out that this child has anything to do with him? No no connection? Hill Dawson looked at them again, But they look a bit simr. Daisy Zane also looked, Wheres the simrity? Its just it just feels quite simr. Hill Dawson finished her remark and stared at Charles Amos again. Then her eyes suddenly widened, she ran to Daisy Zane and whispered, You actually have a child! I wont let anyone take pictures of him. Thats not it! You have a child this big. Hill Dawson looked at Kevin rk, This Third Master didnt say anything?! Hes still so good to you, and so good to the child! Daisy Zane: . He really loves you! Hill Dawson said, Ive always thought he might just be ying. But I dont think so now. Putting aside his noble status, even an ordinary man who cares so deeply for a single mother is extremely rare. Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rk and saw that he was making honey water for Charles Amos. She suddenly remembered what happened at the Imperial Capitals First Hospital. In the evening, he suddenly left, and in the morning, he came back wearing a strong scent of cigarette smoke. Theres also the shocking expression he had when he found out that Charles wasnt her biological sonter on. It was clear that he hadpletely epted Charles as her son, and then came back to find her, only to realize that it was a misunderstanding. However men, when they are chasing you, show one face. After they catch you and you live together for a while, they show another face. Hill Dawson suddenly said, Theyre all no good. Daisy Zane: . Im praising you, but Im also cursing you. Until theynded in the Imperial Capital, Charles Amos little face looked like a bitter gourd the whole time. Kevin rks people were waiting early at the airport, and they got a business car because there were so many of them. Daisy Zane reported an address, and the driver drove directly there. As they got closer and closer to their destination. Charles Amos suddenly burst into tears. Hill Dawson was startled, instinctively thinking that one of her own daughters was crying. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk both looked at Charles Amos as he covered his face with his chubby little hands, tears streaming down his cheeks, sobbing, and his little shoulders shaking. Be quiet. As soon as Daisy Zane spoke, Charles voice became much softer. But his sobs became more apparent. Ill stay at the vi for one night. Daisy Zane said patiently, I dont need you anymore, Ill pick you up after the New Year. Charles sobbed a couple more times: Really? Have I ever lied to you? You tricked me into buying you an ice cream two days ago. Charles said. Daisy Zane: . And you said not to tell anyone. Hill Dawson was quiet for a second, then burst outughing. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane with a scrutinizing gaze in the depths of his eyes. Daisy Zane nced at him, then hurriedly looked back at Charles: Im not lying this time, Ill pick you up in Truro City as soon as the New Year is over. Why dont you spend the New Year with me again? Charles Amos, having received her promise, calmed down a bit and removed his hands from his face. Im going to Cold Green Vige. Daisy Zane said, Youre not tough enough for that yet. Ill take you there when youve grown a bit in a few years. Kevin rk looked at her, his eyshes quivering slightly. Her grandmother was no longer there, so returning to Cold Green Vige would mean spending the New Year alone. How many years is that? Grateful for the probing questions, Daisy Zane said, Ten years. Charles Amos pursed his lips and sniffed again. Daisy Zane handed him two tissues, Hurry up and wipe it, youve cried so ugly. Charles epted the tissues and wiped his face as he thought: Women are all superficial visual creatures. Hmph, they dont care about his inner beauty at all. The car stopped in front of arge vi, a five-story European-style building. The yard was beautifully maintained, and there were even two evergreen trees at the entrance they looked like they had been nted just a few years ago. As soon as they got out of the car, Wilton Edwards came over with a group of people. Wearing uniform uniforms, half male and half female. All of them were the vis servants, helping with luggage. Miss, Young Master. Wilton Edwards saw them and smiled with his twinkling eyes. Charles Amos also immediately ran towards him, hugging his leg. Wilton Edwards quickly picked him up: Oh my, Young Master, youve had me worried sick. Charles Amos hugged him around the neck, not saying a word. Wilton Edwards smiled, then looked at Kevin rk, Sir, good to see you. Kevin rk nodded: Good to see you. This is My agent, surname Zhou. Miss Zhou, nice to meet you. Hill Dawson was already dumbfounded, looking at therge vi in front of her and the group of people in front of her,pletely stunned. She wasnt bringing an artist, but rather, she met a big benefactor. How did she manage to turn her luck around after taking a two-year break? Daisy Zane looked at the neatly lined up group of people and asked, Why are there so many people? They were all handpicked by me to look after the Young Master. said Wilton Edwards. Miss, rest assured. Ive checked everyone and can use them with confidence. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, this Wilton Edwardsis quite resourceful. Daisy Zane nodded her head. They must be all watching Charles, so he doesnt slip away or use calming incense again and run off on his own.. Chapter 105 - 102 Uncle Clark (Fourth Update) Chapter 105: Chapter 102 Uncle rk (Fourth Update) Trantor: 549690339 After dinner, Daisy Zane, Kevin rk, and Hill Dawson sat for a while and then went straight back to their own rooms. She was a bit unustomed to seeing people everywhere all of a sudden. Out of sight, out of mind, she went back to her room. Once in her room, she organized her experiment report and made a call to Holt Lawrence, reporting on the current information held by the Celestial Pivot. While she was on the phone, the sound of a piano emerged from downstairs. She listened for a while, it was Chopins Nocturne. And it wasnt Charles Amos ying. Charles skills are only at a beginner level. This level of ying was much more advanced, verging on concert-level. After chatting with Holt Lawrence for a while, she hung up, and left her room. Standing in the second-floor corridor, she could clearly see the piano downstairs. Kevin rk was sitting at the piano, his ten fingers dancing across the ck and white piano keys. Each touch of a fingertip to a key producing a beautiful note. His fingers were naturally beautiful, long and distinct. On the piano, it was hard to know whether the song became more artistic or his hands added a greater sense of artistry. Moreover, there was a sense of ancient elegance in Kevin rk, ying the song. It felt like a visual feast where ancient Eastern elegance collided with Western romanticism. Charles Amos sat beside him, initially looking at the keys, but gradually started to watch Kevin rk. His big, sparkling eyes shed light of admiration. It was rare to see Charles admiring someone like this. Miss. Wilton Edwards came from the stairs holding a ss of wine for her. Thank you. Daisy Zane took the ss, took a big gulp, and continued to watch from above. Wilton also looked with her and remarked after a while, The young master seems to like Third Master very much. Daisy Zane knew even if she didnt mention, he would be aware of Kevin rks identity. She responded affirmatively. Third Master is also very kind to the young master. Wilton Edwards said, He probably has a love for everything rted to the young master. The other day when we saw him at the Doomsday Hotel, Third Master seemed to dislike children very much, he recalled. Really? Yes, Wilton Edwards confirmed, Not at all interested, even a bit annoyed. Its only out of kindness that he didnt leave him there. Daisy Zane gave a slight chuckle. Miss if possible, the best thing for the young master would be to have a home, Wilton Edwards said, his face full of sympathy, We all have to look forward. We cant continually dwell on the past. Daisy Zane gripped her wine ss tighter, and nced downwards to see Kevin rk. Kevin rk indeed gave her hope for a forward-looking life. But could he always be there? I saw Alice Eugene, Daisy said. Wilton Edwardss face suddenly tightened, and he anxiously asked, Here in the country? Yes. Did she do anything to you? Are you okay? Daisy shook her head. Seeing this, Wilton Edwards felt a bit relieved, but after a moment, he again asked, What abouthim? I didnt see him. Daisy exined, When I went, he had run away. He only left a note that said Well meet again. With an uneasy look, Wilton Edwards analyzed, Since he ran off, it means that he hasnt yet recovered from the previous encounter, and dares not show up in front of you. Otherwise he would never avoid seeing you. Daisy responded affirmatively. Given that manics personality, he would certainly rush to appear in front of her if he had fully recovered. Are they still in our country? Probably not. Daisy answered, Their actions within our borders wouldnt be too easy. Wilton Edwards inhaled sharply again, I will instruct someone to beef up the security at the vi. Im afraid helle to steal the young master That maniac is capable of anything. Okay. After Kevin rk finished his piece, he looked up at the upper floor. Upon seeing Daisy Zane, he broke into a smile. Wilton Edwards also returned to his normal state at the moment he looked over, giving a slight nod of his head. Daisy Zane came down the stairs, stood in front of the piano, and said, Third Master is really talented and versatile. Its been a long time since Ist yed, Im a little rusty. Kevin rk replied, Is there any song Daisy likes? I can practice it. I quite liked the one you just yed. Daisy Zane replied, It was beautifully done. Seeing the two chatting, Wilton Edwards tactfully carried Charles Amos away. However, after walking a few steps, Charles Amos suddenly spoke up, Uncle rk, can you teach me to y the piano? Kevin rk looked at Charles Amos in surprise. Not only him, but also the surprise showed on the faces of Wilton Edwards and Daisy Zane. Apart from Daisy Zane, Charles Amos hardly talks to anyone. If he talks to someone, it means that person is very important to him. So, just switching to Uncle rk was that simple, huh? Kevin rk chuckled. Hmm. Charles Amos confirmed. Sure. said Kevin rk, Ille over when I have time. A real man keeps his promises. Charles Amos nced at Daisy Zane, and then murmured in a low voice, I wont let you teach me for nothing. Daisy Zane suddenly squinted her eyes. What was going on? Was he trying to sell out his mother? The smile on Kevin rks face deepened: Deal. Charles Amos was happily carried away by Wilton Edwards. Congrattions, Uncle rk. Daisy Zane called out with her cold voice. Kevin rk lightly flicked her forehead with his index finger and middle finger crossed: Why are you so cheeky. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. The next afternoon, Kevin rk originally wanted to go for Daisy Zanes audition at the hotel with her. But Daisy Zane found him too shy and firmly rejected him. So, he could only get Allonzo Hobson to speak to Morris. He went straight to the audition room, anyway, he wanted to see Daisy Zanes live audition. Allonzo Hobson also went to join in the fun. Morris did not refuse. After all, that was someone from the rk family, no matter how bad his temper was, he still would not provoke them if he could avoid it. Otherwise, everything he pursued might be eradicated overnight. However, he was still extremely disdainful of these young masters internally. He firmly believed that they came to ogle the beauties and wanted to approach me pretty gins. Saying it nicely, they came to learn. Bullshit! They were nothing! Dissipated sons! While Morris was cursing the young masters in his heart, Hill Dawson and Daisy Zane had arrived at the hotel for the audition. This audition was much grander than thest one in Sky Rights Hotel. Although only a few main roles were picked today. But there were many people present. Most importantly, almost all of them were big-name celebrities and veteran artists. These people came, mostly for Flynn Ninevaras script and for the awards that Morris direction could easily grab. Seeing all these people, Daisy Zane suddenly felt that there were so many beauties to feast her eyes on, it wasnt a wasted trip. But Hill Dawsons face didnt look so well: Daisy these are the big shots of the entertainment circle. This they seemed doomed before theyd even started. Not all are big shots.. Daisy Zane, looking at the crowd, stated, Arent Amelia Miles and rissa Mason also here? Chapter 106 - 103 Flynn Ninevara (1) Chapter 106: Chapter 103 Flynn Ninevara (1) Trantor: 549690339 Although a lot of big shotse to audition for Director Morriss show, hes not the type who prioritizes their status or poprity. And his show has no need for these. Fall of the Quince, directed by Director Nash, does not usually employ popr celebrities or seasoned artists. This is because his budget is limited, and the money mostly goes into production, not into paying actors. So, there are many neers. As for Director Morris himself as a producer, hes never stingy. He always cares if the actors fit the characters. As long as they fit the roles, no matter how eminent they are, hed do whatever it takes to get them. And if anyone is obscure, he wouldnt mind promoting them to poprity. So, there are many industry big shotsing, butit also hosts many neers. If luck is on your side and you truly match the characters design, overnight sess might be within reach. Upon spotting Amelia Miles and rissa Mason, Hill Dawson immediately rolled her eyes: Why are they everywhere? Its so annoying. Like lost souls that wont leave. Daisy Zane chuckled at her reaction. Hill Dawson then looked around and took out her cell phone: Best Actor Dunn said to wait here for a while. Hell take us directly to meet Director Morris. I wonder if Catherine God wille today? Meeting a diva like that is always good, to familiarize ourselves. What if a suitable rolees up in the future? Daisy Zane looked at her for a moment and said, She wille. Really? Hill Dawson suddenly looked up at her, How do you know? Who told you? I had no idea. Daisy Zane just gave her a cryptic look, saying nothing. Oh, you guys are here too? Olivia Chester suddenly walked over and asked. Hill Dawson, hearing this voice, rolled her eyes again before turning to look at her. She threw back in the same tone: Oh, you guys are here too? Olivia Chester scornfully replied, I think youre really getting old. Your judgment of people is getting poorer and poorer. You dare bring anyone. Better than you. Ill give you a heads up. Olivia Chester looked at Daisy Zane and said with a smirk: While audition hasnt started, hurry and take her away. You know how Director Morris dislikes useless disy pieces. If you get scoldedter, you two will lose massive face. That advice goes to you as well. Hill Dawson shot a nce at rissa Mason: And, heres another piece of advice for you. This one you brought, she cant evenpare to a disy piece. You should stop parading her around and making a fool of yourself. You rissa Mason wanted to say something, but was silenced by a look from Olivia Chester. You can only have a sharp tongue for now. Olivia Chester sneered: Just wait until its your turn to lose face. Oh, right, the director of the next show you aim to work is also here today. If you lose face there, you probably could lose the next show as well. Director Morris is known to be a bit entric within the industry, he does not hesitate in berating anyone if things dont go his way. If theyre really going to get scolded in there, or if he maybe says something mean. The other directors are likely going to judge based on Director Morriss opinion. Then the next show could indeed be done for. And this is a script from Catherine God. You even have the audacity to bring her. Do you know Catherine Gods status in the industry? What were you thinking? Did you think good looks alone would suffice? Catherine God, even if she were blind, wouldnt notice her. Daisy Zane: . Hill Dawson was still dwelling on herst words and hadnt heard a thing she said. Seeing her silent, Olivia Chester turned towards Daisy Zane and said: I heard the Miles family wants to acknowledge you. Daisy Zane simply looked at her, not replying. Olivia Chester and Charles Hobson have known each other since they were kids. Their rtionship has always been close, and they share everything. Shes also always treated Amelia Miles like a daughter. Now that Charles is miserable all day because of Daisy Zane, even losing his smile. Seeing Daisy now, Olivia Chester wanted to kill her: Dont think that being acknowledged by the Miles family can erase your illegitimate-daughter status. Lower ss is forever lower ss. Daisy Zane continued to silently look at her. If I were you, I wouldnt be unting my status in the industry, letting everyone know. Everyone knows, isnt it all because of you? As Daisy Zane spoke, she nced at rissa Mason. rissa Mason seemed to feel her heart stop for a moment under her gaze. You Olivia Chester said, its not your turn to make a move yet. Daisy Zane let out a lightugh. Just as she said this, there was amotion at the entrance. George Dunn arrived, dressed in sportswear, looking fresh and neat, just like a college student. Everyone envied and admired the favorite male lead of Catherine God and Edward Monk. Even all the big shots present there went to greet him. The path George had to follow to enter was right where they were standing. So, nobody moved; they simply watched George exchange polite conversation with the people around him. Olivia Chester intentionally waved Amelia Miles over. Amelia Miles walked over, looked at Daisy Zane, and nodded politely to her. Then, she turned her gaze to George Dunn. Everyone knew, if they could get a referral from George Dunn, that could mean double the result with half the effort. George Dunn soon came over. Olivia Chester went up to him to greet him: Best Actor Dunn, its been quite a while. George Dunn first looked at Daisy Zane and others, then smiled and said, Sister Chester, its indeed been a quite a while. Youre getting younger by the day. Best Actor Dunn surely knows how to tter. Im just being honest. George Dunn spoke, ncing at Amelia Miles behind Olivia Chester, Sister Chester, youve brought a neer with you? Shes really attractive. Your eye for talent never falters. What neer? Olivia Chester pulled Amelia Miles to her side, Shes my goddaughter. A dancer from the Truro Dance Theatre. Doesnt the call for actors this time ask for a background in dance? So I brought her here. Her name is Amelia Miles. George Dunn, of course, understood their intentions. But he said, So its Sister Chesters goddaughter, no wonder she is so excellent. Nice to meet you, Miss Miles. Nice to meet you, Best Actor Dunn, Amelia Miles shook hands with him. Considering Miss Miless qualifications, Director Morris will definitely notice her. George Dunn kindly said, Theyre about to start inside, I need to go and have a look. Alright, go ahead with your work, Olivia Chester said in a familiar tone. George Dunn nodded at the two of them, and under their watchful gaze, walked over to Daisy Zane and her group. Daisy, I was starting to think you wouldnte. George Dunns tone was noticeably less polite, more like a casual conversation between friends. He genuinely enjoyed performing opposite Daisy Zane, not just because of her voice, but also because the two of them worked extremely well together. In all these years, he had nevere across an actor with such a rapport. How could I dare note when Best Actor Dunn personally invites me? Youre ttering me again, George Dunn said, Come on, let me introduce you to Director Morris. Although their voices were not loud, Olivia Chester and her group heard them. Olivia Chesters face immediately fell. rissa Mason tugged at her sleeve, swearing under her breath, What a vixen. She only had a show with George Dunn, and already hooked him. I bet she got this role by spreading her legs. Amelia Miles lowered her gaze, squeezing her own hand tightly, but remained silent. Shut your mouth! Olivia Chester red at rissa Mason, directing her anger at her, Youve been sleeping with that producer for so long, and got nothing out of it. Youre thest person who should talk. Shut it! rissa Mason closed her mouth in frustration.. Chapter 107 - 104 Flynn Ninevara (2) Chapter 107: Chapter 104 Flynn Ninevara (2) Trantor: 549690339 Daisy, Ive met the director, Morris, once before. Hill Dawson said while walking towards the audition room, Hes quite arrogant, and sometimes his words can be harsh. You If he says something, dont take it to heart. Alright. Artists tend to have some temper and are proud. Hill Dawson exined, Just perform well. Make sure you keep your temper in check and dont argue with him. Alright. George Dunn nced at the two whispering andughed, Dont worry. Morris is quite nice, and under normal circumstances, hes very normal. What about the non-normal situations? Daisy Zane asked. In non-normal situations, just treat him like a mad dog biting people. After he bites, hell be fine. George Dunn said. Hill Dawsons mouth twitched a bit. Sure enough, as the Best Actor, he dared to describe the big director this way. However, Daisy suddenly chuckled. The door to the audition room was pushed open. George Dunn stood at the entrance, with Daisy slightly behind him. With the door wide open, everyone inside could be seen clearly from the entrance. And Daisys eyes locked on Arthur North sitting inside, right away. Arthur North heard the noise and looked over. His enchanting face was emotionless, with traces of subtle fierceness in his eyes. It was quite scary. But when he saw Daisy, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes. Daisy looked at him and squinted her eyes. She didnt let him follow her, but he went straight inside. This man was really Arthur North sensed Daisys scrutinizing look, and his smile became more evident. Allonzo Hobson, who was watching the two exchange nces across so many people, couldnt help but roll his eyes. The director, Morris, in the room noticed the noise and also looked over. He looked at George Dunn entering the room and didnt even bother greeting him, just making eye contact to acknowledge his arrival. Then he looked back and when he saw Daisys face, he suddenly stood up. The other director sitting next to him was still chatting with him and didnt understand Morriss reaction, so he also looked at the entrance but only noticed George Dunn. He thought to himself, no wonder George Dunn was the directors favorite Male Lead. Due to Morriss reaction, George Dunn stopped in his tracks. His face was full of shock. What was going on? After a few months apart, why suddenly was Morris so enthusiastic? Did he miss him that much? However, Morris hurried past George Dunn, and even bumped into him as he passed, causing Dunn to stumble sideways a bit. He was caught by the assistant. George Dunn: Nana. Morris stood directly in front of Daisy Zane, overly excited, even grabbing her hand, I was worried you wouldnte. Director Morris, Daisy said, Were still in good shape, not much older. Arthur North didnt pay much attention to Morriss moniker but focused on the hand holding Daisys. Looking as cold as an ice sculpture, as if wanting to chop off that hand. You little brat, calling me old as soon as we meet. Morris, dressed in a suit and at least 61 tall, had a pair of phoenix-tail eyes and wore gold-rimmed sses. He exuded the charm of a mature man. Daisy gave a faint smile, and seeing Arthur Norths gaze from the corner of her eye, calmly withdrew her hand. Come on, sit down, and Ill inform them to get started. Morris wanted to lead her further inside, but as soon as he took a step, George Dunn grabbed his arm. Director Morris, George Dunns face was rigid with shock, he stiffly looked at Daisy and then asked, You, what did you just call her? What do you mean what did I call her? Morris finished speaking and noticed George Dunns expression. He suddenly realized and said, You two have been filming together, dont you know that she is Flynn Ninevara? The room was just big enough, and everyone could hear this voice. Upon hearing the name Flynn Ninevara, those sitting inside immediately stood up and stared at her. Shock, awe, and respect filled their eyes. As for Hill Dawson, she looked at the group of people standing up and then at Morris and Daisy. Suddenly her legs felt weak. She almost fell to the ground. Daisy quickly grabbed her to steady her. Sister Emily. Hill Dawson was leaning halfway upon Daisy, her hand trembling as she pointed at her: You you you Yes, its me. Daisy was as calm as ever, I told you, Flynn Ninevara would be here today. Hill Dawson leaned on her again. Her heart and body couldnt take it anymore. Morris looked at George Dunns stiff face again, Whats the deal with you two? Youve been filming together for months, and you still dont know who each other are? Morris then looked at Daisy, Why are you still hiding your identity? Ive told him twice. Daisy said calmly, He didnt believe me. After a pause, she added, He even confidently told me that if I were to stand in front of him, he would recognize me at first nce. Morriss mouth twitched. Then he nodded and said, Indeed sometimes the brain isnt enough. I understand, I understand. He just called you a mad dog. Hes the mad dog. Morris directly left George Dunn behind and walked away with Daisy. Everyone, sit down. Morris was in a good mood today, speaking more gently than usual, Come, Nana. Let me introduce you. This is Charles Lee, Director Hamilton. Brook God, Charles Lee reached out his hand first, with a humble gesture, We met at the Spotlight G. Do you remember? Daisy extended her hand and shook his, Director Hamilton. Seeing that there was work to be done, Hill Dawson suddenly regained herposure. She stood up straight and also shook hands with Charles Lee, Director Hamilton, nice to meet you. I remember, we even exchanged contact information. I was thinking of auditioning when you were casting for your show. For Brook God toe, it would be a great honor for our drama crew. Charles Lees palm was sweating, Once the crew is ready, we will inform you immediately. Alright, then its settled. As Hill Dawson chatted, Daisy nced at Arthur North, who had been watching her the whole time. Then she quietly said to Morris, You did this on purpose, didnt you? Morris noticed Arthur Norths gaze as well. Flynn Ninevara was so dazzling; he couldnt let this dissipated son have his way with her. So he nonchntly made a provocative move, deliberately blocking the twos line of sight. Daisy: Arthur North frowned: Morris whispered, Didnt you want to act in his show? I happen to know him. Knowing that you would be here today, I brought him along. Morris thought he wasnt blocking well enough and moved a little more,pletely blocking Arthur North, To save you the trouble of auditioning. Last time there was so much trouble, arent you tired of it? One experience with that broken process is enough. How about it? Are you addicted to it? Its not like we dont have the connections.. Chapter 108 - 105 Flynn Ninevara (3) Chapter 108: Chapter 105 Flynn Ninevara (3) Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk had been blocked by Morris all along, watching the two whispering to each other, he felt extremely annoyed. So, he suddenly stood up, walked between them, and forcibly separated them. Daisy Zane stepped back slightly. Morris looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in his line of sight, and his brow furrowed slightly. But he didnt dare to provoke him, and immediately put on a smile. Adjusting his sses, he said, Third Master. Kevin rk tilted his head to look at Daisy Zane, ignoring him. Seeing this, Morris felt a pang of unease in his heart. It was over, this young master had truly taken a liking to her. He quickly stepped in between them again, bringing Daisy Zane closer to himself: Nana, this is Third Master rk from the Imperial Capital. Ah, Third Master rk. Daisy Zane gave a faint smile and reached out to shake hands with him. Kevin rk looked at her hand and also smiled. He firmly shook her hand: Daisy, from now on, does this X be Flynn Ninevaras Ninevara? As you wish, Third Master. Kevin rk squeezed her hand slightly, pulling her towards himself. Morris hesitated for a moment: You two know each other? Daisy Zane nodded very lightly. Morris let out a loud sigh of relief: You should have said that earlier. Ive been worried for nothing. George Dunn couldnt ept this reality. He went to the restroom to smoke two cigarettes before calming down a bit. When he returned, everyone was seated, and the audition was about to begin. He nced over at Daisy Zane, who was sitting next to Morris, and went over to sit beside her. Daisy Zane was looking at the audition materials and noticed someone sitting down. She nced to the side: Best Actor Dunn is back? George Dunn swallowed hard, looked at Kevin rk, who was not far behind Daisy Zane, and then fell silent for two seconds: Are you really Brook God? Daisy Zane took one more look at him and didnt answer. Not receiving a reply, George Dunn asked again after a while: Is it true? Did you donate all your intelligence to your acting skills? Morris chuckled at the remark. I will give you the role of a fool in my next script. You can y it true to life. George Dunn took a deep breath, feeling very familiar with this sense of being mocked. Damn, George Dunn cursed, I cant believe Brook God was right beside me, and I didnt recognize her. And George Dunn moved his face closer to her: Youre so young. Get away. Feeling rejected, George Dunn shifted away, Brook God, what have you experienced at such a young age? Youve written so many heart-wrenching and tragic scripts? Flynn Ninevaras scripts had a grand scale. Personal feelings, family and country sentiments And they were almost all be aesthetics. It was the kind of writing that would leave people unable to get over it for several days after reading. Now, not only was Daisy Zane looking at him, but Morris and Kevin rk had also started watching him. Feeling a chill on his back, George Dunn said, I, um, let me see if I can help with anything over there. Someone else who couldnte to terms with the situation was Allonzo Hobson. Ever since the two words Flynn Ninevara entered his ears, he had been silently staring at Daisy Zane. He found it all too surreal. After all, that name had been too familiar to him in recent years. Flynn Ninevaras every script would reserve a role for Phoebe Turner. Each time, if his mother had time, she would definitely perform. And she had won two awards because of it. This time, the script had been handed to his mother again. Kevin, Allonzo Hobson said, I wont be hanging out with you anymore, Im going to stick with my Brook Sister. From now on, you can only be my brother-inw. Kevin rk nced at him, toozy to bother. He stood up, picked up his chair, and sat a bit closer to Daisy Zane, close enough to touch her with one hand. The audition began. The first few who came in were superstars who were very beautiful and had excellent acting skills, and danced well. Although each of them performed differently, the effects they produced were equally impressive. Moreover, when several people came in and saw Daisy Zane, they were clearly surprised. Although Daisy Zane had just entered the industry and had no works yet. But she had been on the hot search a few times. And this hot search had not only involved Lilian Lopez, the producer, and the Miles Family. Themotion had been quite considerable. Anyone with a little gossip-filled curiosity should have seen her. And now, she was sitting next to Morris, watching them audition, without publicly revealing her identity. Anyone would be curious and surprised. Perhaps, after they left, someone would say something nasty about her. Nana, what do you think of these people? Morris asked, turning his head to her. But as he finished asking his question, he saw Kevin rks hand fingering the belt on the back of Daisy Zanes clothes. Daisy Zane was wearing a long down jacket on the outside and a cotton skirt inside. There was a belt around her waist tied in the back. She sat upright in her seat and didnt lean on the backrest. Kevin rks hand reached through the gap in the chairs openwork back and was ying with the belt on her back. Daisy Zane noticed Morriss gaze but pretended not to see it, saying, The second and sixth ones are very beautiful. Morris: All you care about is beauty. Kevin rk chuckled softly in the back. Daisy Zane heard him and gave her belt a tug. Kevin rks hand was pulled forward by the belt and immediately whispered, I wontugh anymore. Morris blinked and suddenly felt that something was off between the two of them. Isnt it because theres nothing to attract me, so I just look at appearances, right? Daisy Zane said, But I think the third one is quite suitable for the supporting female role. What do you think? I think thest one is suitable for the supporting female role. Alright, lets keep watching. For the next three hours, Daisy Zane saw a variety of beauties. She enjoyed the view while also not forgetting to work diligently. She recorded a lot of information on the back of each persons material. Because of her quick memory, her handwriting was very messy, and she even used shorthand symbols. Meanwhile, Kevin rk wasnt idle behind her. One moment, he handed her a piece of candy, the next a small cake. A littleter, he gave her a small cookie, then a bag of fruit juice. As he handed her these things, he noticed that her fingertips were cold. He took out a small hand warmer from his pocket, shaped like a cats paw, and ced it in her hand. Daisy Zane epted everything calmly while eating and drinking. But Morris wasnt doing so well. Every time he turned his head, he saw Kevin rks outstretched hand. It was as if he would starve Daisy Zane. And that feeling, it was as if his cabbage had been dug up by someone else. It was infuriating.. Chapter 109 - 106: Slapping the Face Chapter 109: Chapter 106: pping the Face Trantor: 549690339 Is there any more candy? Daisy Zane looked back and asked when no one came in. Kevin rk fumbled in his coat pocket and gave her two pieces. You two are like kids secretly eating snacks in ss, Allonzo Hobsonmented from behind. Director Morris watched and couldnt make anyments. He really wanted to object to this marriage. But upon seeing the usual arrogant Third Master rk with tender eyes and doting expression, he couldnt say a word. The person who auditioned just now seemed to know you, Daisy Zane said with candy in her mouth. Huh? Kevin rk looked at her, Which one? Daisy Zane pulled the audition material from the table and held it up in front of Kevin rk: Ste Edwards. Allonzo Hobsonughed on the side. He never thought he would see Third Master rk freak out in his life. It really was one thing subsiding another. Seeing he didnt respond, Daisy Zane continued, When Director Morris asked her questions, she nced at you a few times and even smiled at you. Kevin rks forehead twitched: I dont know her well, just met her a few times. Daisy Zane looked at the material in her hand: Her information says shes Sophie Ortizs apprentice. Does Sophie take on apprentices? Yeah, we met her a few times at the Lane familys ce. Kevin rk came clean, Mrs. Lane picks a disciple every year. But in all these years, she only took this one. Daisy Zane looked at the photo on the audition material. The girl was beautiful, with the most outstanding feature being her proud-looking facial features. And her dance skills were great. In all these years, Mrs. Lane has only one disciple. Besides her exceptional dancing skills, she must also be a great person, Daisy Zane muttered to herself. I havent really interacted with her, so Im not sure, Kevin rk quickly disassociated himself. Daisy Zane gave him a strange look and then turned to Director Morris, I have a good feeling about Ste Edwards. I like her too, Director Morris said, Its just that she hasnt acted before, and her performance just now was a bit green. Kevin rk: He was nervous for half a day, and it turned out they just wanted to ask him about her. Is there an actor you cant train? Thats not a problem, Director Morris said, Its just that if we choose her, we have to negotiate with the Dance Association. It has happened before, members of the Dance Association sneak out to act and get called away halfway through filming. Many industries feel that the Entertainment Industry atmosphere is too shy, so they dont like their employees getting involved. The Dance Association might have such rules as well. They worry that the dancers will go out and be corrupted, losing their ability to create good works. Well see, Director Morris said, If theres no one more suitable than her, Ill talk to her. Okay. There were many auditionees, and finding suitable actors required a careful evaluation of each. Besides the Female Lead, there were several other major characters. Almost all the suitable choices were tested on the spot. All these role selections were making their eyes sour. George Dunn was tired from helping on the sidelines. So they took a 5-minute break. Daisy Zane flipped through the materials in her hand, recalling each one. Kevin rk watched her, then moved up behind her, gently pressing her back of the neck, Take a break. Im not tired. Director Morris went outside just now, Kevin rk stood behind her, looking at the words on her material, squinting his eyes. The handwriting was sloppy and not good-looking. But it was definitely much better than her usual elementary school-level handwriting. He had a smoke, Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk looked away from her writing, saw her hairing loose, and took out a hairpin to fix it up again. Daisy Zane just lowered her head and did her own thing, as if it was a normal thing, waiting for Kevin rk to fix her hair. Outside the audition room, it was almost Amelia Miless turn. They stood at the entrance, with Olivia Chester holding Amelia Miless hand, Dont be nervous, Ill go in with you. Weve met Director Morris a few times. He may have a temper, but hell give me face for the people I bring. You just have to perform well. Im not nervous, Amelia Miles said, Ive read the script you gave me the day before yesterday. It seems pretty simple.. Chapter 110 - 106: Slapping the Face 2 Chapter 110: Chapter 106: pping the Face 2 Trantor: 549690339 That means you have talent. Olivia Chesterughed. I dont know whats going on with Sister Amelia. Amelia Miles suddenly said, Why hasnt shee out since she went in? Who cares what shes doing. George Dunn brought her in, and she must be staying inside because of his face. Oliviaughed snidely, I just went to ask around, and theyre trying almost every role inside. This means that none of these roles have confirmed candidates. Daisy Zane must not have been chosen. Amelia Miles lowered her head and let out a faint smile. Shes just a vase, even with George Dunns rmendation, she wont make it. Olivia Chester said, Shes just thick-skinned, like Melody Collins. Even if shes not selected, she has to cling inside, shamelessly. The room has a back door. rissa Mason said, Maybe she already left with George Dunn. The hotel is so convenient. Shut your mouth. Olivia Chester is now afraid of her causing trouble whenever she speaks, How many times have I told you, mind your manners when youre outside. Keep your mouth under control. I got it. Five minutes passed quickly. The audition continued. Daisy Zane suddenly remembered that the role she had reserved for Phoebe Turner had not been auditioned by anyone. But there was still no response from Phoebe Turners side either. So she asked Allonzo Hobson if Phoebe Turner had time. As she was whispering with Allonzo Hobson, someone entered the room and the door was pushed open. Then she heard Olivia Chesters voice: Director Morris, hello. These are my two artists Daisy Zane didnt pay attention, but Allonzo Hobson nced at them while talking and soon looked away. The show my mom is filming now is almost done. She told me shes taking on the next one. Allonzo Hobson said, Maybe theres an issue with thepany notification, Ill ask. Alright. After asking, Daisy Zane immediately turned around. When she turned around, Amelia Miles was standing in the middle, introducing herself. I have been learning dance since I was five years old, and now I am a dancer in the Truro Dance Theatre Amelia Miles had a polite smile on her face, emanating unwavering confidence. But upon seeing Daisy Zanes face, she suddenly choked. Her whole face looked terrified and twisted as she stared at the person in front of her. Olivia Chester and rissa Mason were waiting behind her, their faces full of shock and disbelief when they saw Daisy. rissa Mason even dropped Amelia Miles coat she was holding onto the ground. Seeing her, Olivia Chester, for some reason, suddenly looked for Melody Collins among the people inside. Melody Collins was sitting on a single sofa at the back, drinking tea and eating snacks, asionally exchanging a few words with Charles Lee. When Olivia Chester looked at her, Melody Collins leisurely sipped her tea while looking at her smugly. Hercency almost made Olivia copse on the spot. Director Morris was listening to Amelia Miles self-introduction and reading her material. Noticing the sudden silence, he looked up. He saw her staring at Flynn Ninevara, and there was a clear sense of hostility and disgust in her eyes. He frowned and said seriously, Whats wrong? rissa Masons voice came out almost at the same time as his: What are you doing here?! The tone was so harsh that almost everyone looked at her. Not only did rissa Mason speak, she even pointed at Daisy Zane. It was as if she came to pick a fight, pointing and cursing at people. Daisy Zane looked calm, gazing at them as if they were strangers to her. But Director Morris face immediately sank, What are you doing? Is this your home? Stay if you can audition, otherwise get lost. Olivia quickly came to her senses and pulled rissa Mason behind her: Sorry, Director Morris, please dont mind her. If you say dont mind, then I wont mind. Director Morris took off his sses and began to slowly wipe them with a cloth. Without the lenses blocking, his phoenix eyes showed Sharpness, She came to my territory, acting crazy in front of me. Is this an asylum? Allowing lunatics to run wild here. Daisy Zanes left eyebrow twitched slightly, and she stopped looking at them, lowering her eyes to the material on the table. Then Harton rk handed her a small bag of nuts. As Daisy reached down to grab them, Harton rk took the opportunity to pinch her fingertips. They had a whole bunch of little movements between them. As Director Morris continued his rant. Director Morris Olivia Chester, youre a gold medal agent in the industry. Is this the kind of talent a gold medal agent brings out? Director Morris couldnt see rissa Mason, so he vented his anger at Olivia Chester, Im here to choose roles, not to spend half a day getting tired and being cursed at. He did not leave any face for her, and Olivia Chesters face was a bit unbearable. I cant afford to use people like that. Director Morris put his sses on the table, If she starts cursing me during the shoot, I cant take it with my temper. Allonzo Hobson deliberatelyughed out loud. When heughed, the staff around them also followed suit andughed. Amelia Miles stood in the middle, her face flushed, feeling as if all theughter and ridicule were directed at her. She could not wait to crawl into a crack in the ground. Some artists nowadays, with a few fans, feel like their tails are in the sky. It seems like they are a cut above the rest. Director Morris continued, In the drama crew, they act like they are somebodys father. They even want people to serve them. Im not paying money to buy a father. Rolls like that better leave; I cant afford them. Olivia Chester couldnt stand the humiliation. She nced at Director Morris and Daisy Zane, then turned and mmed the door with rissa Mason in tow. Seeing them leaving, Director Morris looked at Amelia Miles: Do you want to continue? Amelia Miles gave a panicked look, bowed to them, and left as if escaping They have personal grievances. Director Morris tilted his head and watched as Daisy Zane pped Harton rks hand. Harton rk retracted his hand, looking aggrieved. Director Morris: I guess so. Daisy Zane knew that he usually led a secluded life. If she hadnt told him about Lilian Lopezs incidentst time, he wouldnt have known. So she didnt exin much. Do you feel avenged? Sort of. Daisy Zane picked up his sses that had been set aside, These are just decorations. Yes, they make me look more gentlemanly. Daisy Zane put them back for him, and said with an expressionless face, thought they were reading sses. Director Morris: Chapter 111 - 107: Sly Third Master Chapter 111: Chapter 107: Sly Third Master Trantor: 549690339 The audition started at around 1:30 PM and didnt end until past 9 PM. Because it was sote, they had dinner directly at the hotel. When they finished eating and went outside, they didnt know when it had started snowing. The ground was already covered with a thinyer of snow. Its snowing, said Hill Dawson. And quite a lot, Allonzo Hobson said while taking pictures of the streetlights with his cell phone. I didnt think wed see snow before the Chinese New Year. Lets each go our separate ways then, Morris chimed in. We should hurry, the roads will get even worse when the snow piles up. The group parted ways at the hotel entrance. Kevin rk nced at Daisy Zane, who was watching the snow, and said, Xavier, you take Hill home. Well go for a walk. Ill send you the address on your phone. Alright, Xavier Dominic agreed readily. Sister Emily, let me take you home. Thanks, Young Master Hobson. Waiting for them to leave, Kevin rk zipped up Daisy Zanes down jacket and then put her hat on, Do you like snow? Daisy Zane looked at him, Maybe. I rarely see it. Kevin rk met her gaze with a smile. Then he took her hand and put it in his pocket. They walked hand in hand along the roadside. In Cold Green Vige, the lowest temperature of the year is about fifteen or sixteen degrees. He said, Will you be able to adapt to the weather here? Im fine. Daisy Zane felt the snow melting as soon as it touched her fingers, I have a strong ability to adapt. After hearing her words, Kevin rk lifted an eyebrow and thought to himself: Thats good, as long as you can adapt. They walked in silence for a while when Kevin asked, When are you returning to Cold Green Vige? Eager to shake off the water from her hand, Daisy Zane responded, On the 3rd, I suppose. Thatd make it just before New Years Eve. Ill go there earlier to tidy up. Kevin rk moved his hand, still holding hers, into her down jacket pocket. He then moved to her other side and wiped the water off her hand. He held her icy hand in the palm of his hand, Are you going back alone? Yes. Daisy Zane felt the warmth of his hand, Everyone has to go home for the Chinese New Year. Kevin rk looked down and was silent for a while before asking, When are youing back? After the 7th day of Lunar New Year, she replied. Director Hamilton just said his movie wouldnt officially start until after the 15th. Since I have nothing else to do and I rarely go home, Ill just stay a few more days. Theres no inte in Cold Green Vige, said Kevin rk suddenly. And the signal is not good either. It took Daisy Zane a moment to understand his point, and then sheughed, In that case, Ill return to wish Third Master a happy new year. Kevin rk sighed softly when he saw that she still didnt n on returning earlier, Alright then. Daisy Zane didnt return to Truro City but stayed in the Imperial Capital until the 3rd. Then she flew directly to the province where Cold Green Vige was located. Before boarding the ne, Holt Lawrence gave her a call. He asked if she wanted to spend the Chinese New Year in the Imperial Capital. But when Daisy Zane told him that she had already been in the Imperial Capital for six days and was leaving today, Holt Lawrence was so irritated that he almost choked on his words. He abruptly hung up on her. But by the time he called her back, Daisy Zanes cell phone had already been turned off. After a flight of over three hours andnding, Daisy Zane rented an off-road vehicle. After having lunch, she drove toward Cold Green Vige. It was manageable at the beginning, but once she entered the mountains, the winding roads made it very difficult to navigate. It wasnt until past 8 PM that she finally arrived at Cold Green Vige. They didnt live in the vige itself but on a hillside about one kilometer outside. They hardly interacted with the people in the vige. Unable to drive further, Daisy Zane had to lock the car, pick up her suitcase, and walk up the mountain. There were two simple houses with small living spaces. One was for living, and the other was for cooking. There was also a small courtyard made of piled stones. The courtyard wall was only waist-high. It couldnt be called beautiful, but it provided shelter from the wind and rain. After being away for a year, the courtyard was overgrown with grass, and vines had climbed up the stone wall. As she entered the courtyard, Daisy Zane took out her key and opened the door to the house where they lived. The moment the wooden doors swung open, she saw horrifying images shing through her mindmessy rooms and blood on the floor. But when she opened the door, she was greeted by darkness and a faint musty smell.. Chapter 112 - 107: Sly Third Master_2 Chapter 112: Chapter 107: Sly Third Master_2 Trantor: 549690339 When shest left, she ced a fragrance in the room. However, the weather here was humid and the temperature was high. No one lived here and no one took care of it, so it was inevitable that there would be a smell. She touched the switch on the wall and turned on the light. The dim yellow light came on, and it was so weak that it was hard to tell whether it drove away the darkness or brought deeper darkness. Everything in the room remains unchanged. A square table was ced facing the entrance, with single beds on both the east and west sides against the wall. There were two tables beside the beds with many books on them. All kinds of books, in Chinese and English, about history, math, and so on Everything looked neat and tidy. Daisy Zane stood at the door, looking at everything in the room, until the light flickered, and then slowly returned to her senses. The electricity in the vige was sometimes unreliable. She unpacked her suitcase, took off her coat, and rolled up her sleeves. She decided to clean the dust in the room first and then rest. Imperial Capital Kevin rk had been staring at his cell phone since Daisy sent him a message in the afternoon telling him she had entered the mountain area. He looked at his own messages that no one had replied to. After a while, he made several phone calls. Several times in a row, the calls were all out of service area. He felt that what he said was wrong. The signal in Cold Green Vige was not just bad, it was non-existent. New Years Eve is tomorrow. Kevin rks eldest brother and his wife had alsoe to the old mansion and were chatting with their parents in the living room. Mom. Whats wrong with him? Theo rk had seen his younger brothers sullen look when he arrived home in the evening. As time went on, the sullenness grew deeper. Natalie Wayne shook her head, I dont know. Hes been like this since the afternoon. Why dont you try asking him? I wont go. Theo rk refused very decisively, as if he was afraid of touching something terrible, Im afraid hell choke me. Natalie Wayne red at him and looked to her husband, You go ask. Me? Elina rk hesitantly looked at Kevin rk and said, Im not going. Hes already grown up. Isnt it normal to have some troubles? Hes not a child anymore, why worry about him? Youre just afraid of being choked too, arent you? How is that possible! Elina rks reaction seemed to be a desperate cover-up after being exposed, I am his dad! I cant be afraid of him! His voice was full of confidence and loud. Kevin rk stood by the window, and immediately raised his eyelids to look over. His narrow eyes, when not smiling, were full of oppression. He paused for a moment and said, Dad, I heard you secretly poured the medicine into the flower pot the day before yesterday. Hearing this calm yet terrifying voice, Elina rks momentum suddenly shrunk. I, I identally spilled it. Theo rk and his wife, as well as Natalie Wayne,ughed secretly. Well, that spill was quite precise,nding right in that flower pot. Isnt that allowed! Edward North stubbornly retorted. Theo rk and Finn rk, though brothers, had been beaten by their father since they were young. Even now, aged fifty, Theo was still afraid of his father. Kevin rk was different. He was a child bornte in life. Moreover, he resembled Natalie Wayne. He had been pampered since he was young. Edward North was getting older and didnt want to use his hands anymore. Even if he wanted to use force, Kevin rk would run away, and he couldnt catch up. So, their youngest son grew up to be fearless and would even dare to teach his own father a lesson. Sometimes, Edward North would wonder who exactly was the father. Furthermore, everyone in the family knew that Edward North was quite attentive to his youngest son. So, if anything happened, they would talk to Kevin rk. Alright. Kevin rk looked at him expressionlessly, You poisoned the flower pot. Dont you feel guilty? It was fine, but because you were willful and didnt want to take the medicine, it paid with its life. Edward Norths mouth twitched. My mom made that medicine for you with great difficulty. Kevin rk continued, You just poured it away. You didnt pour the medicine. You poured my moms love. Edward Norths eyes widened, and he quickly said, Madam, I didnt. Kevin rk had no intention of letting him off the hook and continued, I understand. Two people who have been together for a long time can get tired of each other. In the past, my mom would say one word, and you would always take it to heart. Now, youre tired of it. My mom spent all her efforts in preparing the medicine for you to improve your health, but you just casually poured it away. In the end, you just dont care about it anymore. Kevin rk, you! Edward North hurriedly grabbed Natalie Waynes hand, Madam, I absolutely have no such thought. Your position in my heart is always the first. Natalie Wayne cooperated very well with Kevin rk, gave a light snort, and then got up from the sofa without looking at Edward North. You guys chat, Im going back to my room. As soon as she finished speaking, she started to walk away. Madam, Madam Dont listen to his nonsense, Madam Edward North grabbed his crutch and chased after her. When he reached the door, he looked at Kevin rk and cursed, You little bastard! If I had known you would turn out like this, I would have taken a bowl of abortifacient and poisoned you to death. Its toote to say that now. The b*stard is already grown up. Get lost! Edward North scolded and then hurriedly chased after his wife, Madam! Madam! I was wrong! I will drink the medicine properly from now on! Dont be angry. When the couple left, Kevin rk looked down at his still-quiet cell phone and sighed silently. Then he looked at the couple still sitting on the sofa. Theo rk felt his gaze and looked back. In the instant their eyes met, Theo rks heart jumped. He could tell from his younger brothers eyes that he was not up to any good. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Kevin rks devilishly deep voice. Sister-inw. Hmm? Whats the matter, Kevin rk? Kevin rk looked at his brother and said, A few days ago, my brother asked Enamel Cannon for 100 USD. Theo rk was about to take a sip of tea to calm his nerves, but when he heard this, his hand was scalded by the hot tea. What?! He bought a pack of cigarettes. Kevin rk said quietly, He probably hasnt finished smoking them yet. You can ask him. Kevin rk, you Theo rk! Youve been smoking behind my back again and asking our son for money! Come back to the room with me, and lets have a good talk! Before leaving, Theo rk gave Kevin rk a wait-and-see look. Once everyone had left, Kevin rk looked back at the silent phone and found some bnce in his heart.. Chapter 113 - 108: Going Out to Give New Year’s Greetings Chapter 113: Chapter 108: Going Out to Give New Years Greetings Trantor: 549690339 The next day was New Years Eve. Daisy Zane hardly slept all night, rising as dawn began to brighten the sky. She took two bottles of wine and three goblets from her suitcase, then headed uphill. After a long walk, she reached a mountaintop. The mountain was full of lush greenery, with an ancient tree that must have been there for a hundred years. The trunk was so thick that two adults couldnt wrap their arms around it. It faced the sun, so its lush, wide canopy stretched out to the south. It provided excellent shade below. However, in this shady spot, two gravestones stood to the south. One belonged to Daisys grandmother, Victoria Zane, and at the other, there was an empty tombstone with nothing written on it. They stood on the mountaintop, facing the sun, gazing at the stretching mountains and the world beyond Cold Green Vige. Daisy Zane hadnt been here for an entire year, and some weeds had grown around the tombstones. She set down the wine and sses, cleared some of the weeds, and then cleaned the two tombstones. Once she finished, she squatted in front of the tombstones and watched for a while. Then she opened a bottle of wine, pouring it into all three sses. She ced a ss in front of each tombstone, then took one for herself. She sat between the two tombstones, gazing out at the rugged, unending mountains The sun rose higher, and the temperature climbed with it. The wind on the mountaintop blew, sweeping over the grass beneath and rustling the tree overhead, causing Daisys hair to flutter. Even the wine in the ss rippled. Daisys eyes looked even lighter under the sunlight, and she remained motionless. The usual cold demeanor had faded. She looked dazed, expressionless. It was a state of deep rxation, not just physical but also mental. Even her thoughts seemed to have ckened. She even looked a little deted. Another gust of wind blew across, pushing the hair on her cheek back down. It was as though an invisible hand had soothed her hair back into ce. Her eyshes twitched slightly, and she gradually regained her focus, ncing at the empty tombstone next to her. A faint smile curled her lips, and she sipped the wine. Brought your favorite wine, she said. Its New Years, you can drink a bit more. After she finished, she tapped her ss against the other two, saying: I met Johanes Miles. How should I put it? Hes not aspetent as he is hot-tempered. At his age, hes still quick to quarrel andcks the calm demeanor. Hes also indecisive and listens only to his father. At his age, he cant even discern right from wrong, just repeating whatever old Master Miles says. Daisy thought for a moment before saying, Blind filial piety, I suppose. She then looked at Victoria Zanes tombstone, Grandma, your judgment in choosing a son-inwhmmwas somewhatcking. But I cant say that hes utterly incapable. He manages thepany quite well, Daisy said. Its a good thing I wasnt raised in his family. Their values are fundamentally wed. Compared to Grandmas upbringing, they are worlds apart. Theres noparison, Daisy added quickly. I also acted in a show, Daisy said. She probably hadnt spoken this much in a year before today, I earnestly worked my way up from the bottom, experiencing the whole process of selecting scripts, auditioning, participating in table reads and traininglve gone through it all, havent missed a thing. Even almost experienced the unspoken rules Well, I guess I did experience it. A role I auditioned well for was nearly given to someone else. Just this one show gave me a taste of everything that needed experiencing. So, I wont be so meticulous for the next one. One time is enough, or else whats the point of all the fame Ive built as a scriptwriter? Daisy leaned against the nk tombstone next to her, Dont you think? She talked for a long time, almost saying everything she wanted to about the past year. She fell asleep against the tombstone after tiring herself out talking. It wasnt until darkness fell and people started setting off fireworks that she roused, sitting atop the mountain watching the fireworks with them for a while before slowly making her way downhill. When she returned to her room on the hillside, she nced at her cell phone, which was only 18% charged. It was past midnight. The phone was almost useless here, except for providing light and telling time. It couldnt receive any messages. She charged her cellphone. Then she took three cups of instant noodles from her suitcase and went to the room next door. That room was specifically used for cooking. To the right of the entrance, there was a neat row of firewood. Luckily, it hadnt rainedtely, so she could use it directly. As soon as you enter the room, theres a stove and arge pot. There were quite a few electrical appliances for cooking inside the room, all bought by her at some point. Howeverpared to the electricity capacity in the Cold Green Vige, their power ratings were too high. Using them once posed a risk of a vige-wide ckout. On such an important holiday, it was best not to attempt it. So she made a fire, boiled water in the pot, and cooked the three cups of noodles. She sat on a small stool in front of the stove and finished all of them. After eating, she cleaned up the room before going to bed. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Kevin rk got up early and paid respects to his parents. Then, without waiting for Theo rk and his family of four, He drove to the Lane familys house by himself. He stayed at the Lanes for about half an hour before returning. At this time, the rk family had just sent off a group of guests. Theo rk and his family were about to go to the Lanes themselves. Thats when they saw Kevin rk greet them briefly in the front hall and then retreated back to his own courtyard. Shortly after, they saw himing out with two suitcases. Although he seemed serious, you could tell he was slightly anxious. He didnt even ask the servants to carry his cases, presumably because he felt they were too slow. Mr. & Mrs. rk, along with Theo rks family of four, and a yard full of servants, all watched him. They hadnt seen Kevin rk in such a rush before, not to mention carrying suitcases himself. Where are you going during the New Year? Theo rk asked. Out to pay some New Year visits, Kevin rk replied. Theo looked at his parents, then his wife. He felt like he was dreaming: Does our family have rtives that require you personally to pay New Year visits? And with luggage? Who has such a big influence? Kevin rk looked at his parents: Mom, Dad, Im going on a vacation down south, Ill be back after the seventh day of Chinese New Year. Then he turned to Theo: Big brother, you guys stay at home and be with mom and dad. Im leaving. As soon as he finished speaking, not giving anyone time to protest, Kevin rk hurriedly left the main courtyard. By the time everyone regained their senses, he was long gone. Rebellious child! Hes always away from home, now hes even gone during New Year! Elina rk scolded. Theo rk also felt it was unusual. His brother, every year except for paying respects to the patriarch of the Lane family, hardly met anyone. Granted, their family didnt have many rtives, and those who came to visit did so for him and his dad. Kevin was never responsible for entertaining guests, when he was at home, he would either be ying with birds or watering nts. But running off somewhere, this was the first time in years. Hugo, where did he go? Theo suddenly turned to his son. Hugo rk was standing at the back of the crowd, looking down at a message that Allonzo Hobson had sent him. [Your third uncle seems to be in an extremely bad mood these days.] [Its about the Miss Zane Ive told you about before. The Miss Zane, who made your third uncle bloom like an iron tree. She went back to Cold Green Vige for the New Year and wont return until after the seventh day.] [You probably know about Cold Green Vige. Its underlined in the poverty alleviation project. Theres no inte or signal there.] [Your third uncle cant contact her, he must be going crazy inside. Heres a word of advice: annoy him less during these days, or you might be the one to bear the brunt of it.] Hugo rk promptly turned his cellphone screen off and looked up at his father, saying in a deep voice: How would I know about third uncles affairs? The two of you are always joined at the hip, how could you not know about his affairs? Dad, I hardly saw the third uncle since September till yesterday. Hugo rk said. Theo rk choked: Youre two years older than him, ordinarily you should look out for him more. What can he be up to, running away on New Years. This kid, doesnt let people worry less. Behind-the-scene knowledgeable Hugo rk: What else could it be, he just went to court love.. Chapter 114 - 109: Arriving at Cold Green Village Chapter 114: Chapter 109: Arriving at Cold Green Vige Trantor: 549690339 On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, Daisy Zane went up the mountain once again and returned home in the afternoon to cook and eat two barrels of instant noodles. She then squatted at the entrance of the kitchen, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at the overgrown grass in the courtyard. It should be cleaned, butits better to go back to the room for a nap first. As a result, she slept all the way until the evening. So, when Kevin rk arrived in the evening, Daisy Zane was busy pulling up the grass in the courtyard. Completing the work that should have been done during the day but was not. The dim courtyard light was on. Daisy Zanes fair hands were covered with dirt, her slender jade-like fingers seemed soft and powerless. Yet, with one hand, she dug in, her knuckles bulging, and the roots of the small grass peeling out with the soil, losing their lives. Being engrossed in her weeding, she suddenly heard footsteps apanied by the sound of the wind, which reached her ears. Daisy Zanes hand paused, and her nk expression instantly hardened. This ce was usually deserted. No one came here thiste, especially when the courtyard light was on. Quickly, she pulled out a handful of grass and then quietly listened to the approaching footsteps. When the footsteps reached the entrance, she quickly stood up. The speed was swift, like a gust of wind, flipping over the courtyard wall. Seeing the person standing at the entrance, her hand instinctively shot out even before her brain reacted. It was almost seamless; flipping over the wall, seeing the person, and attacking, all happened without any pause. And the attack was vicious. The person at the entrance heard themotion and quickly turned around. Instinctively, he blocked Daisy Zanes strike. Then he grabbed her other hand, which was about to strike. Just as he grabbed her hand, he hurriedly used his other one to block her raised knee. Lucia, its me. Daisy Zanes whole series of actions took ce within a few seconds. By the time he spoke, her free hand had already reached Kevin rks neck. If he had spoken a fraction of a secondter, she would have chopped him on the side of the neck already. Now, with her hand stopped beside his neck, she hesitated for a moment: Kevin rk? Its me, Kevin rk replied with a smile. Daisy Zane, smelling the scent of eaglewood: You, how did youe? Kevin rk wrapped his hand that she grabbed around in his palm: Wishing you a happy new year. Wishing me a happy new year? Daisy Zanes expression was somewhat nk, her head bing nk as well. The surprise of Kevin rks appearance here was akin to her being told that as a materialist, ghosts existed in this world. Yeah, Kevin rk replied with a smile, I mainly wanted to see you; I missed you too much. Kevin rk was backlit, his entire figure shrouded in darkness. It felt unreal, but Daisy Zanes hand was in his, feeling his warmth, knowing he was truly standing before her. Daisy Zane looked up at him and didnt move for a long time. Cold Green Vige was a corner hidden deep in her heart, a ce where no one had ever set foot, never before. However, Kevin rk walked right in without any warning. The courtyard light was on, and the front yard was quite low. But Kevin rk was too tall,pletely blocking the light. Therefore, Daisy Zane was also in the darkness. But Kevin rk could still see her clearly. Her eyebrows, her expression. The two have been separated before, sometimes for as long as ten, twenty days. But they never lost contact. Unable to contact her for three days, Kevin rk truly missed her. Looking at her for a while, Kevin rk gently bent down and nted a kiss on her forehead, then hugged her around her waist. Lucia, Ille with you to celebrate the new year next year, Kevin rk softly promised in her ear, Im sorry, letting youe here this year was myck of consideration. Daisy Zane didnt speak, but for the first time, she actively leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes. Kevin rk also tightened his arms, hugging her a little closer and kissing her hair again. After hugging in the entrance for a while, Daisy Zane led him into the room. The rooms light was brighter than outside. Once inside, Daisy Zane noticed the dirt from her hands had gotten all over Kevin rks clothes. She pointed to the wet wipes and tissue on the table: Thatclean up your clothes by yourself. Kevin rk was looking around the room. It was very simple but clean, everything was orderly. Moreover, all the items for daily use were brought by Daisy Zane herself. Hearing her speak, he looked down at his clothes and found the dirt, raising his eyebrows. As he removed his coat, he nced at Daisy Zanes hands: What were you doing just now? Weeding. Daisy Zane kicked a chair towards Kevin rk, Sit for a while, Ill go wash my hands and boil some water. Ille with you. Alright. Both of them went to the next room. When they went out, Kevin rk nced at the courtyard, in which he saw a small pile of plucked grass: You were weeding in the evening? I wanted to do it in the daytime. But I fell asleep then. Daisy Zane picked up a few wooden sticks from the entrance. Kevin rk immediately tried to help, but Daisy Zane saw his hand and didnt give them to him. She carried the short pieces of wood herself and gently kicked open the kitchen door with her foot. Kevin rk hesitated for a moment and didnt have time to think more. He helped her push the door open. Seeing the situation inside, he said, This is really using fire to boil water. Yes. Daisy Zane squatted in front of the stove, put the wood in ce, and found some soft branches to light the fire. Kevin rk squatted beside her and said, There are appliances over there, arent there? We cant use them, because there will be a power outage. Daisy Zane looked at him, Keep away, its very choking. Kevin rk looked at her with a smile and said, Lucia, you really treat me like a Young Master. Arent you? I Kevin rk didnt deny, But I can do some things, like making a fire. Daisy Zane obviously didnt believe him. Kevin rk took the lighter from her hand, let her move aside, and then lit the fire himself. His technique was indeed quite skilled, and once the fire was lit, there was no smokeing out. Third Master, not bad. Kevin rk smiled, and moved the two sticks piled together to the side a bit, Ive participated in outdoor training. Lighting a fire is an essential skill. If you cant light a fire, you have to eat raw food. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. She didnt expect that. After all, Kevin rks background and usual delicate life seemed like a young master who needs to be taken care of. Lucia, put some water in after washing your hands. Kevin rk said, If theres no water for too long, the pot will get burnt. Daisy Zane went out to wash her hands. When she came back, she scooped some water from the water tank next to the stove and put it in the pot. Only then did Kevin rk notice the ce for washing hands in the courtyard. It was a bucket with a hand pump on top. Before washing their hands, they had to press a few times to get the water out, and the water needed to be filled frequently. I remember there was no shortage of water here, and every household has tap water. Yes, its connected in the vige. Daisy Zane said, But this ce is on a mountain one kilometer away from the vige. So the water After going down the mountain, walk about five or six hundred meters, and theres a well. Daisy Zane said, If we run out of water, we will go get it. Kevin rk said nothing. The conditions in Cold Green Vige were already bad enough, but the ce they lived in was even worse. They were making life difficult for themselves. Its really inconvenient, but once you get used to it, it doesnt feel like anything. Daisy Zane said, You know, my grandma is mixed-blood, and was sold to this ce. At that time, everyone was rejecting her, so she moved to the mountain by herself. Kevin rk yed with a small stick, stirring the fire, and listened quietly to her. Theres a small piece ofnd behind the house, which can be self-sufficient. Daisy Zane tapped the edge of the water tank with her hand, looking at Kevin rks half-face illuminated by the fire, Over time, Ive gotten used to it. Its almost like being cut off from the world, quite enjoyable. Kevin rk yed with the wooden stick in his hand and thought about her words. If she was really enjoying her life, then why did she leave Cold Green Vige again? She and her grandma were dependent on each other. Moreover, her grandmas health was not good and needed someone to take care of her for a long time. Why would she leave her grandma behind without anyone to look after her? She had known those people for many years, not just after her grandmas death in the past two years. Unless someone else took care of her grandma here, or the information he got was wrong. When did you leave Cold Green Vige? Daisy Zanes fingers, tapping the water tank, paused for a moment and then she silently said, Its been quite a few years. I dont remember it very well. Feeling that she seemed not very willing to talk about it, Kevin rk didnt ask more and changed the topic, I went to see Charles Amos yesterday, and he knew I wasing over. He asked me to say Happy New Year to you. Daisy Zane smiled, Didnt he say to bring New Years gifts? No. Kevin rk said, Apparently, he had some financial problems and needs to collect New Years money before he can send gifts. Daisy Zaneughed, What a little brat, so young, but has so many cunning ideas. Hes very smart. Kevin rk praised, Much smarter than his peers. Good genes, I guess. Daisy Zane casually said. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows and smiled, I was also very smart when I was young, and smarter than my peers. Daisy Zane didnt know why he suddenly praised himself. My genes are also very good. Kevin rk joked. Daisy Zane: . Chapter 115 - 110 Happy New Year Chapter 115: Chapter 110 Happy New Year Trantor: 549690339 After the water boiled, Daisy Zane nned to pour it into the thermos sk. This way, when the esteemed gentleman beside her wanted to drink, he wouldnt need to boil water again. Let me do it. Kevin rk said. No need. Daisy Zane responded without even looking at him, Just sit there, dont meddle. He wanted to say something else, but Daisy Zane shot him a light look. He didnt dare to speak any further and obediently stepped back. Be careful, dont scald yourself. Daisy Zane gently blew on the steam: I wont. After filling the sk, Kevin rk took it and they both returned to the other room. Daisy Zane gave a full round of the room before she went into the kitchen to check. Atst, she stared at the dusty cups in the kitchen for a while and put them back. She returned to the room empty-handed. She really didnt want to clean, and these cups were quite old. Even if cleaned, there might still be some traces left. She could give them to Kevin rk for usage, he surely would use them. But she felt it was inappropriate for the prestigious Third Master. Therefore, after returning to the room, she took out the thermos cup that Kevin rk bought for her, rinsed it with boiled water, and poured some water for him. Third Master, please make do with it. Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk was standing by the desk, looking at the books there. They covered all sorts of topics: ancient and modern, folk affairs, some were even handwritten and thread-bound, all fairly old. The bottomyer seemed to contain a few yellowed newspapers. He epted the thermos cup: Thank you. I rinsed it with boiled water. Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk nced at the cup, smiling, It would have been fine without rinsing. Actually, he preferred not to use a cup that had been rinsed. Daisy Zane didnt grasp his words and ignored him. A smile teased the corner of Kevins mouth, Have you read all these books? Hearing his words, Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly, then she replied, Yes. After my mother went to school, she bought these books for my grandma. Some were written by my grandma herself. Later, I read them. Your grandmother loved studying, eh? Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane nodded her head, Even though she didnt go to school, but everything that needed to be learned was probably already learned. May I have a look? Feel free to. Kevin rk randomly picked up one of the handwritten books. It contained basic mathematical theories and some forms, not what present students would be learning. But rather, the content that people of her grandmothers age learned from their textbooks. It seemed to be rewritten by summarizing and generalizing the knowledge she had studied. The handwriting was elegant and neat. To be able to write down systematically the things one has learned before implies this person has an excellent memory. Further, being able to learn so much in that era and write such beautiful handwriting implies it must have been a rtively superior household. After recing this book, Kevin rk picked up an ancient book. The same handwriting here too, with notes and symbols, and viewpoints in some ces as well. Moreover, these views were written in a mix of Chinese and English. Given this range of knowledge and insight, her grandmother likely wasnt sold here. Even if she was, with such insight, how could an ordinary person be content living in such a small ce willingly? Unless she wanted to stay here, and did not wish to leave. While he was reading, Kevin rk suddenly gave a chuckle. This family, everyone is more mysterious than thest. No wonder, Daisy Zane, even without schooling, still has such a broad range of knowledge and knows about everything. Just these things alone, many educated people have never seen. Butwhy hasnt this handwriting improved? Kevin rk took out another book, the first page was titled Todays Homework. The contents were all math problems written by Daisy Zane. Now if looked at individually, the handwriting didnt look good. But when gathered together, such a huge pile, it was genuinely ugly enough to cause a headache. Kevin rk couldnt help but draw a breath. Kevin rk. Hmm? Kevin rk closed the book and put it back in its ce. Didnt you bring any luggage? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Kevin rk was taken aback: I forgot, its still in the car. Daisy Zane looked at him. I wasnt sure if you were staying on this side of the mountain, or the other side. Kevin rk said, chuckling at himself. Upon seeing people, he hadpletely forgotten about his luggage, So I didnt bring my luggage, just came up to have a look. Ill go get it. Together. Daisy Zane said, Let me light the way for you. Both of them went down the mountain together, and by the time they returned, it was already veryte. Kevin rk opened two suitcases, one of which had half his clothes, and the other half was all food. All small snacks. And the other suitcase was entirely packed with food. Canned food, vacuum-packed sausages, vacuum-packed shrimp with several kinds of shrimp. There were vacuum-packed raw meat as well as an entire raw chicken. There was even vacuum-packed vegetables, and rice. Daisy Zane was contemting, whether she should go up the mountain to catch a couple of snakes for a soup to improve their meals tomorrow. But this man had brought his own food. Daisy Zane was shocked. After watching her expression, Kevin rk said with a smile: I visited Charles Amos yesterday. Uncle Edwards reminded me after knowing that I wasing over, that you didnt bring any food. You were probably going to buy instant noodles when you get off the ne. Daisy Zane: . . They dont just have instant noodles, there are so many other convenience foods now. The smile on Kevin rks face softened, gazing at her. He suspected seriously, if no one was managing Daisy Zane, would she, perhaps pamper herself too much. Daisy Zane avoided his gaze, squatted beside the suitcase, picked a snack, and chewed away slowly. Seeing her not looking at him, Kevin rk watched her for a while. He gave her a long wooden box from within the suitcase: New Years gift. Daisy Zane put the remainder of the biscuit in her mouth, then epted the box, and immediately opened it. It contained a hairpin. She took it out to inspect it. The hairpin shank was pure gold, and judging by the weight, it should be solid. The hairpin top was iid with a piece of ice-blue jadeite. The quality was excellent and very transparent. It was clearly valuable at a nce. A very simple design, but at the same time, very high-ss. It also gave a clean feeling. Some things, the simpler they are, the higher grade they have. Do you like it? Daisy Zane looked at him, then back to the hairpin: Mhm. Kevin rk gave a lightugh, walked behind her: Let me help you put it on. Daisy Zane handed the hairpin to him. Kevin rk delicately pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair and tucked it into his pocket. Then he used the new hairpin to tie up her hair carefully. After fixing her hair, he also sorted out the loose strands in the front. He really loved her appearance when she tucked her hair. A cold demeanor, with a subtle, mature gentleness hidden within, and sometimes a little bit ofziness. Daisy Zane shook her head, it was very secure, she then turned to look at him: Third Master, your hairpin-tying skills are very practiced. I specially learned it. Daisy Zaneughed, Since I received the gift, I should offer a New Years greeting. Happy New Year. Kevin rk bent down, pushed aside the hair on her forehead: Happy New Year. Chapter 116 - 111: Sharing the Same Bed Chapter 116: Chapter 111: Sharing the Same Bed Trantor: 549690339 Third MasterWilton Edwardsdidnt he tell you to bring beddings like quilts wnen you came over As Kevin rk was tidying up the things he had brought, Daisy Zanes voice suddenly came from behind. He turned around to look at her and said, Theres no quilt? Yeah, said Daisy Zane, The ss here is damp and has a musty smell. Then, you Kevin rk nced at the bed behind her. The quilt on the bed looked new. He looked at the bed on the other side. He didnt notice it just now, but now he saw that there were two quilts on that bed. Its alright. Kevin rk quickly epted the fact. I can cover myself with clothes. But where am I supposed to sleep? That bed? That bed used to be Daisy Zanes grandmothers and its been many years. When she came back to clean that day, she noticed the bed board had been bitten by insects in the middle. Its fine to put a quilt on it, but if you lie a person on it, the bed board would definitely break. She stood by the bed for a while, then picked up the ss and the cushion from the bed and handed them to Kevin rk. She pulled open the single bed herself. The single bed turned into a double bed. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, this bed looked homemade. It was quite innovative and well-designed. Sleep here. Kevin rk was still looking at the bed when he heard this, and paused for a moment, Then where are yougoing to sleep? Ill sleep here too, said Daisy Zane calmly. That bed is about to copse, this one was made new a few years ago. Kevin rk held the quilt and didnt move. No one told him that he would have to face such a test when he came here. Whats wrong? Daisy Zane asked when she saw him not moving. Ah, welll Kevin rk started to speak but didnt know what else to say, Isnt it, kind of inconvenient? Daisy Zane pulled the mattress out of his arms and spread it on the bed, If you think of me as a man, it wont be inconvenient. Kevin rks mouth twitched. He, he might not be able to do that. She purposefully got a double mattress, folded it up, and ced it on the single bed. Now that its unfolded, it might feel a bit stiff at night. Throw the quilt on the bed. Kevin rk did as she said. Daisy Zane spread out the quilt and put it on the bed. Then she folded it over to the outside, cing the pillow on the outer side as well. She then took off her coat and threw it inside. ncing at the somewhat dazed Kevin rk, she chuckled, Third Master Whats the matter? What do you think? Kevin rk looked at her, his eyes somewhat resentful. The smile on Daisy Zanes face deepened. She patted his shoulder and said, Dont worry, I wont do anything to you. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes and stared deeply at her, Actually, I was kind of hoping you would do something. Daisy Zane: . Why did he say it so seriously and calmly? She couldnt bring herself to hit him. Kevin rkughed, ruffled her hair, and said, You lie down first, Ill go wash my hands. By the time Kevin rk returned from washing his hands, Daisy Zane was already lying down. She had only taken off her coat, and her hair was spread out. She curled a leg, her wrist resting on her eyes, lying on the inner side of the bed. With no pillow and only a coat covering her. Kevin rk nced at the pillow and quilt on his side, and smiled. She really was treating him like royalty. Hearing the footsteps, Daisy Zane said, Cover half of the quilt, andy the other half under you to avoid the bed board hurting you. Do you want me to turn off the light? Whatever you want. Daisy Zanes voice was a bit drowsy. Dont talk to me anymore, Im going to sleep. Good night. Mhmm. Daisy Zane responded. It took two seconds before she whispered, Good night. Then she put her leg down, turned over, and went to sleep with her back facing the outside. Her speed of falling asleep Kevin rk sighed softly in his heart. He didnt know if it was because she trusted him too much, or simply didnt care about him. A grown man was sleeping next to her. And that man had intentions towards her. Yet she fell asleep so peacefully. After looking at her for a while, Kevin rk turned off the light. When he got used to the darkness, he walked quietly to the bed. Then he took the coat off Daisy Zane and put it aside. He covered her with the quilt. Mmh? Daisy Zane suddenly made a sound. Kevin rk whispered, Its nothing, its me. Go to sleep. Daisy Zane became a little more awake and looked at the quilt on her, The bed board is hurting me. Its not, Kevin rk said softly, as if afraid topletely wake her up. He spoke gently, Cover yourself. Mmhmm. Daisy Zaney back down on the bed. You cover yourself a bit more too, its a bit chilly at night. As she spoke, the sound of her voice gradually faded away, disappearing entirely in the end. Kevin rkughed and said, You know its cold, yet you use the quilt as a cushion under me, and you dont cover yourself. Are you silly or what? Daisy Zane furrowed her brow and ignored him, then went back to sleep. Kevin then gently supported her head and slipped the pillow under it. This time, Daisy didnt wake up, but simply shifted to find a morefortable position. In the dark night, the two of them were so close that they couldnt help but feel a bit romantic. So Kevin stared at her for a while, lowered his head, and lightly kissed her face. Only then did he lie down beside her, gazing into the darkness and quietly listening to her soft breathing. When Daisy Zane woke up the next day, Kevin rk was no longer in bed. Moreover, his half of the bed was neatly made, as if no one had slept there the night before. She wrapped herself in the quilt and lingered in bed for a moment, but when she heard the sound of the door opening, she opened her eyes and nced at the entrance. Awake? Kevin came in with a tray holding two bowls of porridge and a dish. Almost as soon as she saw him, Daisy smelled the aroma of the food, and her stomach appropriately growled on cue. Kevin put the tray on the desk, then leaned over to brush her hair back and casually touched her face. Lets get up and eat. Daisy nced at the redness around his eyes and then buried herself back under the covers, mumbling, Its cloudy outside. Hmm. Its a little cold today. Wear moreter. Did you wash the dishes? Yes. The chopsticks had grown moldy, and I thought wed have to whittle a couple of sticks to use as chopsticks today. Kevin sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her hair and joking, Then I discovered there were stainless steel chopsticks. Daisyughed, Thanks, Third Master. Hurry up and get up, the porridge will be cold soon. Kevin stood up and said, Ill go out first, call me when youre dressed. Daisy waved her hand to show that she understood. It wasnt until he closed the door that she got out of bed, folded the quilt, took out her suitcase, and changed into some sportswear. Then, using yesterdays hairpin, she tied up her hair. When she went outside, Kevin was pulling weeds in the courtyard. This scene truly surprised Daisy, and she choked on her saliva, coughing, Kevin rk you dont need to do that, just let them grow. Its fine, go wash up. Daisy looked at him, hesitated, but didnt say anything else, and went to the kitchen to fetch her toiletries. In the back of the kitchen was a cab where Daisys toiletries were all stored. Today, there was an extra set C Kevins. It must have been Kevin who had organized everything neatly, and both of their toothbrushes were ced together. Everything else belonged to the two of them separately, but only the toothbrushes were touching. Somehow, this filled Daisys heart with a warm feeling. She looked at them for a moment, then smiled softly. As she brushed her teeth in the courtyard, Daisy wandered around the courtyard wall. Then, she suddenly noticed ayer of cooked rice spread out on top of the wall C to be more precise, some white, some yellowish, and some ck. It was evident that the rice had been burnt. Daisy rinsed her mouth and looked at the rice, saying, Kevin rk, youve done a good job controlling the heat while cooking porridge. Kevin threw the pulled-up weeds to the side, looked back at her, and seeing her looking at the rice,ughed, The fire was too high the first time. Why put it here? Let the small animals eat it, Kevin replied, Consider it inviting friends. Friends? Theyve been with you in the mountains for so many years. Theyd count as friends, right? Today was a cloudy day, with grey skies and a blowing wind. It rustled the tree leaves and swayed the grass. Kevin squatted on the ground and looked back at her. With the grass behind him, the mountain in the distance, and the mountain concealed by the fog even further away, he appeared to have an ancient noble elegance about him. Looking at him and listening to his words, Daisy could feel his tenderness, romance, and his affection for everything about this ce. In fact, she truly envied Kevins family for raising such a person. After a while, she spoke up, Friends, huh? Well some friends taste quite good when roasted. Kevin rk: Fine, go ahead and treat them, Daisy said, The fatter they get, the tastier. Kevin rk: Chapter 117 - 112: Little Girl Chapter 117: Chapter 112: Little Girl Trantor: 549690339 Chinese New Year is the time for visiting. In the second day of the Chinese New Year, Amelia Miles, John Anderson, and Amelias brother Jace Miles went to the Hobson Familys home in the Imperial Capital to offer New Year greetings. The Hobson Family had always been extremely doting on Charles Hobson, and both Amelias brother and sister-inw had spoiled her as well. As a result, they were particrly affectionate towards Charles Hobsons son and daughter, treating them as if they were their own children, especially Amelia Miles. Moreover, now that they were connected by marriage to the Anning Faction, they had always wanted to win favor with Harry Anderson, so they were also very polite to John Anderson. They arrived early in the morning, and the whole family sat in the living room chatting. Amelia Miles leaned on John Andersons shoulder, ying with her cell phone, feeling tired from listening to all their conversations. John Anderson chatted while helping her peel nuts. Have you two made any ns for when to get married? asked their aunt with a smile. John Anderson nced at Amelia Miles and said, Weve been discussing this issue recently and are considering getting married around June. Its good that you have ns, added their uncle. But once youve made up your minds, make sure to tell your family in advance. We only have one daughter in our family, and both families dote on her. We must have a grand wedding. Many things need to be arranged, so we need to know ahead of time. I understand, uncle, Amelia Miles replied. Youll be the first one to know when the timees. Tell your mom first, and then tell me. Okay, okay, I got it, Amelia Miles said obediently with a smile. After she finished speaking, she no longer participated in their conversations and quietly looked at her phone. After watching a video, she opened Facebook. She was just browsing aimlessly. Suddenly, a post caught her attention. [Is there any clean ce left? The entertainment industry is so dirty. Even a nobody like Daisy Zane can sit next to a big-shot director and choose characters. I really dont know what she can choose. I also dont know why she can sit there and on what basis. @Morris @ Flynn Ninevara. I really like their shows, and I regard both of them as idols. But I wont watch them again, because its disgusting and too dirty. ] There were two photos below the post, taken during the audition day, showing Daisy Zane sitting next to Morris. They were probably taken secretly, so they were somewhat blurry. But they could still clearly see that it was Daisy Zane and Morris. The ount that posted this has very few followers and mostly share some gourmet food. So far, not many people have seen it. Looking at the post, Amelia Miles heart raced. Finally, someone was talking about it. Finally, someone was addressing this issue. She tightly clenched her phone, showing no emotion on her face. She told everyone in the living room that she was going to make a phone call and hurried to the courtyard to call Olivia Chester, informing her of this matter. Olivia became excited when she received the call: I knew it. There must be someone who is not satisfied. All those big celebrities have such arrogant hearts. How could they possibly ept being evaluated by a little girl and then do nothing about it. This must have been posted by one of the celebrities secondary ounts. Yes, Amelia said, feeling relieved after holding her breath for several days. The poprity should go up soon. At this time, we should also add fuel to the fire, Olivia said. rissa Mason was right. Daisy Zane does have her ways. She even managed to win over Morris, who is so difficult to deal with. Theyre all just despicable methods, Amelia replied. With the general low level of education in Cold Green Vige, its no wonder shes learned these tactics, Olivia said. Who knows what shes been doing in the countryside for so many years. Amelia chuckled: Morris must be too self-conceited, daring to bring her to the audition and even let her sit next to him, giving her all the power. Morris is just used to doing things his way, Olivia said. He thinks hes extraordinary and full of himself, as if the entertainment industry would copse without him. Lets show him how hes going to be kicked out of the circle in this era of Inte celebrities. Dont worry, not only will Daisy Zane suffer, but Morris wont get off easily either. I wonder if Flynn Ninevara is involved. Who knows? But as long as he doesnte forward and speak up for Morris now, this storm should not affect him, Olivia said. With Flynn Ninevaras status, if he wants to protect himself, he definitely wont cooperate with Morris in the future. You reminded me that ourpany has signed some directors. We can try to win over Flynn Ninevara. Thats what I thought, Ameliaughed. Im just worried he wont be easy to deal with. If Morris falls, hell need a director, Olivia said. Let me go talk to him. In this world, people are after fame and money. Hes already got fame, so as for money we just need to offer him more. After hanging up the phone, Amelia Miles stood in the courtyard with a malicious smile on her face, finding everything pleasing to the eye. Suddenly, a voice from behind said in a nonchnt tone: What evil scheme are you plotting now? Hearing the voice, Amelia Miles lowered her gaze and turned around. However, the deep malice in her eyes remained unchanged, looking like apletely different person from her usual obedient and sensible self. Cousin, howe youre out here too? Benjamin Hobson looked at her andughed. He must be the only one in the family who knows Amelia Miless true nature. This woman deceived her own parents and brotherpletely. In front of them, she pretended to be well-behaved and sensible, like a little white rabbit. She had never been caught red-handed, making them trust herpletely. If it hadnt been for the time when he was a child and saw her beating up a ssmate in an alley, he would surely believe that she was innocent and pure. Ever since he had caught her that time, Amelia Miles had never pretended in front of him again. One way in front of others, and another way in front of him. He genuinely wondered if his cousin had a split personality. If their conversation had continued, it would have been about me, so of course, I had toe out, he said. You should be doing something productive, Amelia Miles said, Dont always make Uncle angry. Ive been well-behaved for the whole year, Benjamin Hobson said, then looked at her and said, I heard your dad wants to acknowledge that illegitimate daughter? Well see if he can acknowledge her first. Amelia Miles looked at her cell phone, watching the heat of the Facebook post rise bit by bit. Do you have some bad ideas again? Benjamin Hobson put his hand on her shoulder and whispered, That girl is very pretty, its okay if I y with her, right? Amelia Miless expression paused as a calcting look shed in her eyes, Do as you please, but that woman is not honest, dont you catch anything. Benjamin Hobson suddenlyughed with a lewd face, Dont worry, I know my limits. While the storm brewed outside, the two people in Cold Green Vige,pletely isted from the world, were still pulling weeds in the courtyard. Who could have thought that the Third Master of the Imperial Capital would drive himself to Cold Green Vige? And who would have thought that the Third Master, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, not only came to Cold Green Vige but also pulled weeds there. If they told anyone, it would probably scare everyones heads off. Third Master, actually, its okay not to pull them. Theyll grow back next year anyway. After finishing breakfast, Kevin rk continued to weed. This was already the third time Daisy Zane had tried to persuade him. You dont want me to work hard? Daisy Zane turned her head to look at him and gave him an if you say one more word, believe it or not, Ill leave you here look. Kevin rk understood her meaning and smiled, If I didnte, you would definitely clean up the courtyard, right? Daisy Zane looked away and didnt say anything, tacitly agreeing. Since there are still peopleing back, it makes no sense to let the courtyard go to waste. Kevin rk switched legs to squat and continued, If they grow back next year, Ille back to pull them then. Hearing his words, Daisy Zane clenched her hand tightly, cutting the grass in her hand in half. Why would there be someone who understood her so well. Daisy, lets discuss something. Hmm? Dont call me Third Master anymore. Kevin rk said, Call me by my name. What if I dont, Daisy Zane said coldly, not letting any emotion seep into her words. Then Kevin rk looked at her, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he smiled, We are alone in these wild mountains, I might just take advantage of you. Daisy Zane flicked the dew from the grass onto his face, What dreams are you having, Third Master. She bit down a bit harder on the words Third Master. After being sshed with water, Kevin rk closed his eyes and wiped his face with his arm. He didnt get angry at all andughed, Little girl, you know I wont do anything to you, youre getting more and more unscrupulous. Daisy Zane showed no emotion on her face, staring at him. Then she lowered her head, pinched a bit of dirt, and threw it onto Kevin rks shoes. Hiss Hearing his grinding and helpless sound, a faint smile appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes. Kevin rk saw her smile and felt happy inside. He wanted to reach out and pinch her face, but his hand was a little dirty. In the end, he could only rub her face with the back of his hand and said in a doting tone, Little girl. Just a little girl. No matter how strong, mature, or indifferent her appearance, she was still a little girl in her heart. So mischievous she couldnt handle it.. Chapter 118 - 113: Tear off Her Vest Chapter 118: Chapter 113: Tear off Her Vest Trantor: 549690339 In the morning, the grass in the courtyard was all cleaned up. Except for a small sapling on the east side. Although it wasnt as high as a persons leg, it was so fragile that even a gust of wind might break it. But now the yard was suddenly bald, so it stood out. Why not just pull it out as well? Daisy Zane asked. Lets keep it, Kevin rk replied, and enjoy the shade under it when it grows up. Daisy Zane looked at the sapling swaying in the wind, not even sure if it could survive: Itll be decades before we can enjoy the shade under it, right? Kevin rk raised his eyebrows and smiled. Suddenly understanding what he meant, Daisy Zane nced at him and said nothing. Decades, such a long time, she didnt even dare to think about it. That day, besides pulling weeds in the morning, Daisy Zane did nothing but wait for meals. She initially wanted to help cook but ended up breaking a te by turning around. Without hesitation, Kevin rk kicked her out of the kitchen, not even giving her the chance to tend the fire. Actually, I Daisy, if you break another one, therell be nowhere to put the dishes. Daisy Zane stood at the kitchen entrance, watching Kevin rk surrounded by hot air. Even in such a ce, his elegance hadnt diminished at all, even enhancing the simple rooms sophistication. Kevm rK. Hmm? Lets go back tomorrow. Kevin rk looked up at her, understanding what she meant, and smiled: finally came back. Lets stay a few more days. Daisy Zane stood at the door, watching him. Kevin rk continued, Its nice here. Although its inconvenient, its peaceful. Its just the two of us, and no one can disturb us. Besides, we havent finished the food I brought. Ive worn all the clothes I brought, Daisy Zane replied, and theres nothing clean left to wear. I dont want to doundry. Lets go back tomorrow. Kevin rk stopped what he was doing and looked at her: Daisy Lets go back, Daisy Zane insisted. Alright, Kevin rk said softly, If you want toe back, Ill apany you anytime. Yeah. Im sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. Having no signal for over 30 minutes, the beep has turned into a power-off beep. After the beep ended, Morris dialed again without giving up. This time, just hearing an Im sorry inside, he hung up the phone. Why hasnt shee back yet? Morris looked at George Dunn beside him. George Dunn had just finished a call with Xavier Dominic and said, I heard she wont be back until the 7th day of the Lunar New Year. The 7th day? Morris said, By then, people online will have cursed enough to give birth to a child. Of course, if they curse me, I wont care. But Catherine, shes just a young girl, how will she get married in the future like this? George Dunn replied to Hill Dawsons message and didnt say anything. High-status families like the rks attach great importance to reputation, Morris said anxiously, If we dont deal with the foulnguage online now, it will be peoples talking point in the future. George Dunn furrowed his brows. He clicked on the first hot search. The poprity was still rising, andments were increasing at a rate of tens of thousands per minute. [I always thought Morris was a clean stream, but I didnt expect him to be like this.] [Daisy Zane is so clever. As soon as she entered the circle, she got Morris. It seems that those who are beautiful are different.] [Why cant she be low-key? Let Morris secretly give her a role to y. Why go to the audition with him?] [ording to insiders, this Daisy bitch also designated the roles tor big celebrities during the audition. She really thinks shes something. Who gave her the confidence?] [I will never watch a show directed by Morris again, its too disgusting. These years he got famous and forgot his original intentions, focusing on beautiful women instead of his work. What can we expect from him in the future? I used to have high expectations for this show, now Im dropping it for sure.] [Poor Catherine, working with the director for so many years. He hasnt made any response yet, maybe hes going to stab Morris with a knife.] [Just stab the dog man and woman together. What kind of fucking roles can they pick when theyre discussing love at the audition ce?] [Why do you all have so much malice? Daisy Zane is young and a neer. What if she is talented in selecting roles? Cant it be that Morris asked her to select characters?] [You must be someone hired by Daisy Zane to whitewash her. She hasnt even gone to school, let alone study acting. She doesnt even have a single work. What can she pick?] [She knows how to pick men. She sees one, hooks up with one, and sleeps with one. Maybe she used to be a prostitute.] [If she can choose roles, Ill livestream eating shit. Shes just showing off her superiority on the film set. Do you know whos auditioning? Those are her seniors, great seniors. She has no right to criticize them.] [I just love Catherine God so much, can they please not screw with Catherines life together?] [Please bless Catherine to be safe.] Under Daisy Zanes Facebook and Morriss Facebook, there are full of curses. Everyone is firmly convinced that the two of them are having an affair. Even someone is spreading rumors that Morris and George Dunn had an affair. When George Dunn saw it, his veins were bulging on his forehead. Meanwhile, Catherines Facebook was always being managed by Morris. Beneath her Facebook, there were either questions about whether she was involved in Morris and Daisys affairs or denunciations for her injustice. Allonzo Hobson said that if we withdraw from the heat now,izens would only say that we paid money to do so. George Dunn said, Just tear down her alt ount. The best, most direct, and fastest way to deal with this. Morriss mouth twitched: Will she agree? George Dunn hesitated too, Sheshould agree, right? Morris paused for a while and said, Tear it down. As long as her future shows have good quality and she has good acting skills. No one will say she used Catherines fame to walk through the back door if she wins the awards. Even if someone says it, its just sour grapes. Just like that, Im posting on Facebook. George Dunn nced at Morris. In the conversations he had had with him a few times, he could always hear between the lines that Catherine wanted to win awards. Although everyone in this circle wants to win awards, but Somehow he always felt that Catherines purpose was too strong. It seemed like she came into the entertainment industry just to win awards. At the Miles Familys side, Liam Davis came over for a New Years visit and was chatting in the living room. Suddenly, his phone rang. He saw that it was his mother, so he went outside to answer the call. Mom, whats wrong? Where are you? Are you at the Miles Familys ce? Mrs. Davis said. Liam Davis admitted directly, Yes, Im at the Miles Family. Get your ass back here! Mrs. Davis yelled, That little bitch has really blinded you, youre even visiting the Miles Family for the New Year! Mom! Dont talk about her like that. Youre still defending her. Shes been with that director Morris, and youre not even a spare tire; youre still foolishly protecting her. Mrs. Davis said, Let me tell you, a slut like her will never step foot into the Davis Residence unless Im dead! Mom, what are you talking about, Morris? The news about her is all over the inte. Go see for yourself. Mrs. Davis said angrily, Shes really good at seducing men, no wonder you were blinded by her. Its a good thing she wont enter our family now. Get back here! After hanging up, Liam Davis checked the news online and saw it filled with curses. He immediately called Daisy Zanes phone again, and it still showed that it was turned off. After standing in the courtyard for a while, Liam Davis returned to the living room, excused himself, and hurriedly left. Old Master Miles watched his retreating figure and asked, What happened? Why did he leave so hurriedly? Charles Hobson sat to one side, took a slow sip of tea, and said, He probably saw the news online. Johanes Miles sensed that this matter might be rted to their family, and his brows furrowed, What news? Charles Hobson nced at him and handed him his cell phone: Daisy Zane has some kind of rtionship with a very famous director in Imperial Capital. It was exposed online today. Johanes Miles nced at the phone, at those curses, and didnt say anything for a moment. Whats going on? Let me see. Old Master Miles said. Johanes Miles handed the phone to his father. The old master took the phone, put on the sses hanging around his neck, and slowly browsed the posts. After a while, he asked, This Morris, what does his family do? Charles Hobson: For the Miles Family, who the son-inw is isnt important, whats important is howrge of a background the son-inw has. Morriss family is prettyplicated. He took some money from home, and then he severed all ties with his family. Charles Hobson said. Old Master looked at him, I see. So, he doesnt have much of a background. Although he is a big director Johanes Miles said, Looking at the wind direction online, I fear that this director will fail down the line. Right. Old Master Miles nods, pondered for a moment, and said, Hold off on releasing news of the Family Recognition Banquet for now. If this news is true, Liam Daviss side will certainly not marry Daisy Zane again. We dont need to recognize our daughter just for a director whos going downhill. Moreover, if the news is true, then our family will be implicated if we recognize her. I understand, Dad. Charles Hobson listened to the father and sons conversation on the side. She was happy that there would be no recognition banquet, but at the same time felt cold -hearted. In their eyes, nothing was more important than the Miles family, only the Miles family mattered. If it werent for her family supporting her and her son being outstanding, she would probably have been driven out of the Miles family long ago.. Chapter 119 - 114: Responding and Causing Trouble Again Chapter 119: Chapter 114: Responding and Causing Trouble Again Trantor: 549690339 In the evening, Amelia Miles finished her meal and returned to her room, where she spent the rest of the night browsing the inte for thetest gossip. The sight of all the abusivements was like a happy stimnt for her. She kept reading until she was tired and ready to sleep. Only then did she stop browsing thements. However, when she returned to the hot search page, she noticed that it had been updated. A new hot topic titled [Morris Responds] appeared on the list. Amelia clicked on it. She saw that Morris had posted on Facebook: [Im working on the storyboard manuscript and was too focused to know about the big news today. First of all, I want to wish you all a happy new year. And then I guess Ill have to figure out how to tell you that @Daisy Zane and @Flynn Ninevara are the same person.] Morris had indeed been working on the storyboard manuscript when the scandal broke, but he waited until now because he spent time drafting dozens of posts, all of which he thought were not good enough; in the end, he went with the first one. Amelia looked at the post and felt as if she were hallucinating. She quickly exited the page and refreshed the hot search. Within moments, the hot search topic climbed to number three. And more rted topics appeared alongside it. [Daisy Zane and Flynn Ninevara are the same person.] [Ninevara has been exposed.] [Flynn Ninevaras face revealed.] Amelia clicked on each one of them. Inside, there were those who doubted and didnt dare believe it, but the overwhelming majority were stunned. One topic even had nothing but question marks and exmation points in it. Amelia sat up on her bed, her sleepiness gone, and refreshed the page again, not wanting to give up easily. Now, a response from George Dunn appeared. [How do I gently break it to you all that I made a show with Flynn Ninevara?] Beneath, he posted a picture of a handwritten title, Fall of the Quince, along with a smug emoji. Nowadays, any artist caught in a scandal could be cklisted. Just before the New Years, Fall of the Quince finished filming, and then Daisy Zanes scandal broke out. Director Nash had been closely following this incident, worried about whether his unfortunate show would be able to air. When Morris posted on Facebook, Nash was still in shock. After all, Flynn Ninevara was like a divine presence in their circle, and everyone wanted to benefit from his fame. Only when George Dunn posted on Facebook did he snap out of his stupor. First, he left ament with twenty-two question marks. Then, ten minutester, he added anotherment: [You all conspired to deceive us in the drama crew! You have no conscience!!] Sitting on the bed, Amelia stared at the screen, her head lowered. Her hair kept falling forward as she looked down. She angrily brushed her hair back, pulling out several strands in the process. Her eyes were dark and venomous, as though they could tear open the dark night. How could Daisy Zane be Flynn Ninevara? She never even went to school; how could she write anything like his works? Snapping back to reality, Amelia quickly found someone to message and opened their chat. She first sent them some money and then typed out the sentence she had just muttered to herself. She added: [Just go with that and push down thosements. Daisy Zane couldnt possibly be Flynn Ninevara.] The recipient quickly got to work upon receiving their payment. In just one hour, the majority of thements got pushed up. [How could Daisy Zane and Flynn Ninevara be the same person? This is probably a plot by Flynn Ninevara and Morris to help her clear her name.] [Daisy Zane didnt even go to school! How could she write anything like that? What a joke.] [Flynn Ninevaras scripts are so grand in scale. How could an uneducated, countryside girl who knows nothing write something like that?] [This is obviously a strategy to clear her name; only an idiot would believe it.] [Flynn Ninevara and Morris have known each other for years, and since he doesnt want to show his face anyway, why not just im to be Daisy Zane?] [If Daisy Zane really is Flynn Ninevara, why wouldnt she act in her own script and instead go star in another show as the supporting female? This doesnt make any sense at all.] After reading thesements, Amelia went to bed peacefully. On the other hand, Morris and George Dunn, who thought the issue had been resolved, were thoroughly unable to sleep because of thements. Allonzo Hobson couldnt sleep either. I really underestimated their shamelessness. How can they question like this? As Juan Wright tapped the keyboard next to him, he said after a while, Young Master Hobson, I followed an ID and hacked into a team of paid trolls, and then a woman namedAmelia Miles. Amelia Miles? Allonzo Hobson said, So, its her who is causing trouble. Juan raised his hand and made a cutting gesture at his neck: Do you want me to take her out? Gazing at the night view outside the French window, Allonzo Hobson suddenly shed a smile and said, Organize all the information and send it to John Anderson. John Anderson? Juan, who didnt know much about the structure of Truro City, asked. The boss of Truro Maple Elite Entertainment, and Amelia Miless fianc, Allonzo Hobson exined. Although I cant think of a way to prove that Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zane are the same person, Miles wont be let off the hook either. Understood. Juan typed quickly again. Compared to their chaos, Daisy Zanes side was much more rxed. First, they discussed Flynn Ninevaras alternate ount in their group chat while Daisy Zane was out of signal. Two of them even went to catch up on the show overnight. Then Holt Lawrence checked the information and handed it to Daisy, leaving it up to her to handle it. They had always followed instructions without taking any action on their own, so as not to disrupt her ns. While many people in the Imperial Capital couldnt sleep, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane were already lying in bed chatting in Cold Green Vige. With the experience of one night, the two of them had obviously adapted much more as theyy down tonight. Because of the cloudy weather, it was a bit cold at night. Daisy even covered Kevins side with the quilt. Are we really going back tomorrow? Yeah. Daisy Zane was looking at the script on her cell phone. Before she came, she had downloaded the electronic version of the script for the next show directed by Charles Lee. Juste back and have a look, Daisy said, We have to leave sooner orter. Lying on his arm, Kevin said, When I said I woulde back with you anytime at noon today, I meant it. I wasnt just being polite. Daisy Zane nced at him, I know. Kevin felt that she was perfunctory in her chat with him: What are you looking Script. Daisy Zane moved her phone closer to him, Its for my next show. Kevin and her looked at it together for a while and asked, This time, youre a female general. Yeah, Daisy Zanemented, she has a bumpy life. Smooth career but heartbreaks whenever ites to love. Theres still a love line. Kevin said leisurely. Three love lines, Daisy Zane said lightly, The first two are very difficult, one for national hatred and one for family feud. Its not until the end that she meets her prophesied emperor. The two go through countless difficulties before they finally get together. Kevin almost didnt hear what she saidter, only hearing three love lines: Will there be physical contact? Are there kissing scenes? Are there scenes that are more intense than the kissing ones? Daisy Zane paused for a moment before looking at him. When their eyes met, Kevins gaze held a mixture of reproach and dominance. But eventually, the dominance faded away as he gently said, You dont need intimate scenes. Its not a romance drama. There are many ways to express feelings. You dont have to kiss and cuddle. Daisy still stared at him. Your scripts also have very few intimate scenes, Kevin said, When two people are in love, they can tell by a single nce, right? Youve watched my shows? Yes, Ive been catching up. After saying that, Kevin insisted, It can be done without intimate scenes, right? Daisy was really susceptible to Kevins submissive attitude. He could see through her and knew how to hide his dominant side in front of her. As they looked at each other, they smiled softly, with Daisy agreeing, Okay. Hearing her consent, Kevin also smiled. He took her cell phone, turned it off, and ced it on the table. Then he grabbed her hand, ced it under the quilt, and covered her: Its gettingte, we have to get up early tomorrow. Go to sleep. The light isnt off. Daisy saidzily. Kevin didnt want to let go of her hand, Can I just hit it with a book? Daisy looked at him and was about to get up herself. Kevin pressed her shoulder: Ill go, dont move. He got out of bed to turn off the light, and after lying back down, he groped for her hand under the nket and gently said, Lets go to sleep. Daisy moved her fingertips as though she was going to withdraw her hand, but she suddenly clutched it tighter, Hold it for a while. She didnt move again and closed her eyes. Before falling asleep, she was thinking that Kevin must be taking advantage of being good-looking and having a pleasant voice, so she was so lenient with him.. Chapter 120 - 115: Not Here to Clarify, But to Confront People Chapter 120: Chapter 115: Not Here to rify, But to Confront People Trantor: 549690339 The next day, when Daisy Zane woke up, the sky outside was still a bit gray. She turned her head and saw Kevin rk sleeping beside her. He was still in the same position as before he fell asleep, lying on his side with his arm as a pillow. His other hand held hers all this time. Daisy watched him for a while. His skin was very good, smooth and radiant. He had long eyebrows and thick eyshes, a tall, straight nose, and lips as red as cinnabar, seductive and bewitching. If Mrs. rk had given birth to a daughter at that time, she would undoubtedly be a stunning and sexy beauty. A beauty that people would spend thousands to buy a smile from. But being a man made it even better. The ancient and elegant gentleman had a fascinating and licentious face, and there was also a mysterious oppression about him. Contradictions collide, yet they were extremely harmonious and attractive. If there really was a creator, when he created Kevin rk, he must have carefully pondered, cautiously and carefully, over and over again, slowly chiseling him out. He must have been his most satisfying work. Daisy looked at him for a while longer and gently pulled her hand out, trying to get up. But as soon as she moved a little, Kevin rk suddenly opened his eyes. Groggy, with a hint of redness at the bottom of his eyes. Even more, like a fairy from the Fairy n. As their eyes met, Kevin rk smiled first: Awake? Daisy immediately sat up and pulled her hand away from his: Yeah. Kevin rk also sat up, rubbing his numb arm: Its still early, lets sleep a little more. Ill cookter. No need. Daisy smoothed her hair and said, Im going to the mountain to tell my grandma. The road is a bit far. Kevin rk looked at her and said: Alright, Ill cook and wait for you at home. Be careful. Okay. When Daisy came down from the mountain, they ate and packed things, tidied up the house, and left. They both had cars, so they could only drive one each back. Kevin rk led the way, and Daisy followed him in her car. Winding around the mountain road, they finally left the mountain area in the afternoon. As soon as they reached an area with signal, both their cell phones started ringing. But since they were driving, neither of them paid any attention. Only when they stopped at the rest area did they both look at the messages on their phones. It was then that Daisy realized that her alt ount had been exposed. Kevin rk had naturally found out about it as well. He sat in Daisys copilot seat, knowing she had seen the message, and said directly: Juan Wright has found Amelia Miles. Daisy had also received a message from Holt Lawrence, which mentioned not only Amelia Miles but also Olivia Chester, and the original ount that belonged to a celebrity. Xavier Dominic sent the evidence of her buying the paid trolls to John Anderson. Daisy looked at Kevin rk, paused for two seconds, and thenughed: He really did quite a number. Seeing that she didnt take the matter to heart, Kevin rk felt slightly relieved. He also smiled and said: He said hes not good at solving problems but great at creating them for others. Pretty self-aware. Daisy replied, while sending a text message to Morris and Hill Dawson, telling them not to worry about it. Then she said, Lets find a hotel in the city tonight. Well head back to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. Okay. Amelia Miles and John Anderson stayed in the Imperial Capital for one night before returning to Truro City. It wasnt until the evening when John Anderson came home and opened hisputer to deal with some work issues that he discovered the evidence of Amelia buying paid trolls in his inbox. A screenshot of a chat and the transaction information and real-name registration information of Amelia Miles bank card. Amelia hadnte home that night either. She had just taken a bath and came to the study room to find him: John, do you have any work to deal with? John looked away from theputer and at her. For the first time, Amelia saw John looking at her expressionlessly, and her heart skipped a beat: Whats the matter? Did something happen? John looked back at theputer: Come here and take a look. Whats the matter, its so serious. Amelia said as she walked over to him. She had a sweet smile on her face, but as soon as she saw what was on theputer screen, her pupils suddenly constricted. It was as if something heavy had collided near her ears, making a buzzing sound. All the hair on her body stood on end. She had deleted the chat log, so why did this material show up on Johnsputer? Chapter 121 - 115: Not Here to Clarify, But to Confront 2 Chapter 121: Chapter 115: Not Here to rify, But to Confront 2 Trantor: 549690339 Where did thise from? John Anderson looked up at the person next to him, It was sent to me anonymously. Amelia Miles clenched her fists tightly, trying hard to maintain herposure. Amelia, I can understand that you dislike Daisy Zane. But why did you hire paid trolls to smear her? John Anderson asked in a deep voice, Those are all grievances from older generations, she too is a victim. She doesnt want to bebeled as an illegitimate child either. I just wanted to show everyone the truth. How could she possibly be Catherine? Amelia Miles stared at theputer and said mechanically. Why cant she be Catherine? John Anderson asked, Your maniption of public opinion is causing her a great deal of trouble. Amelia Miles looked at him sharply, her hands clenched so tight her veins were bulging: Youve read Catherines script too. Daisy Zane grew up in Cold Green Vige and has never been to school. Can she write a script like Catherines? John Anderson remained silent, looking at Amelia Miles. Even though she was trying hard to control herself, he could feel that she waspletely different from her usual self. Normally she was obedient, understanding, kind, and always taking others into consideration. But now, there seemed to be a beast inside her, ready to burst out at any moment. Its just a way for her and Edward Monk to whitewash their reputation. Fine, you can have your doubts. Everyone has the right to be skeptical. John Anderson said, But why lead public opinion? I just want everyone to see her true face. Amelia. John Andersons voice raised a notch, If she is Catherine, then your behavior is spreading rumors and ndering. John, so now youre arguing with me because of Daisy Zane! What Im addressing is your behavior. My behavior. Amelia Miles said urgently, Youre the boss of Maple Elite Entertainment. Shouldnt you be used to this kind of behavior from your artists? If they can do it, why cant I? Are you the same as them? John Anderson said sternly. Amelia Miles locked eyes with him for a moment, then turned around and stormed out, mming the door behind her. John Anderson watched the tightly closed door, took a deep breath, then pinched his brow. Up until now, he really thought Amelia Miles was kind-hearted towards Daisy Zane. After all, she always called out Sister, Sister, and was very proactive in acknowledging the Miles family. But John Anderson sighed again and got up to find someone. The next day, shortly past eleven in the morning, Daisy Zanes flightnded. After getting off the ne, the two went to collect their luggage. Daisy Zane checked her phone, Harton rk, we should split up. Hm? I had someone leak my flight information yesterday. I heard there are quite a few people waiting for me outside. Harton rk stood still, looking at her. Seeing that he had stopped, Daisy Zane stepped out two steps then came back: What is it? Youre letting me go first with so many people out there. Harton rk looked at her, What if someone harms you? Daisy Zane looked at him for a moment, If you want to stay, just say it. Harton rkughed, helped her adjust her hair and said softly, Ill be your bodyguard. Alright. Daisy Zane responded indifferently and handed him a mask from her pocket, Put it on. Youre too conspicuous. Okay. Sure enough, when they walked out, a crowd of people and reporters were waiting for them. Daisy Zanes eyes were too distinctive, and she was recognized as soon as she appeared. The crowd instantly became restless, snapping photos with their cellphones and cameras. Even though the airport security was holding back the crowd, Harton rk felt uneasy and stayed close by her side without taking a single step away. Catherine, Catherine, are you Catherine? Daisy Zane, are you and Catherine the same person? Are you really Catherine? Are you really? Daisy Zane nced at the crowd calmly, then took off her mask. In an instant, the crowd suddenly fell silent, not a single person speaking. All eyes were fixed on her cold yet breathtaking face. Daisy Zane looked at the camera pointed at her and said, The cameras still rolling, right? The cameraman, taken aback, nodded dazedly. Daisy Zane also nodded, her fingers hooked around her mask, she looked at the camera and said casually, Ive heard that there have been some controversies about me online in the past few days. I didnt respond immediately. Thats because I just left Cold Green Vige yesterday and finally had a signal.. Chapter 122 - 115: Not Here to Clarify, But to Confront_3 Chapter 122: Chapter 115: Not Here to rify, But to Confront_3 Trantor: 549690339 Suddenly a few people gasped after hearing Daisy Zanes t, cold voice. Since everyone is here, let me say something, Daisy Zane said. I am indeed Flynn Ninevara. Thats why I went to the audition selection that day. I know, just saying this cant prove that I am Flynn Ninevara. But those who doubt me online are unrted rumormongers. Why should I prove to you that I am who I am? Youre not even worth my time and effort. Daisy Zane had no extra expression on her face, and her voice was steady throughout. But that kind of arrogance and disdain reached peoples hearts, acting as a sort of usation. Kevin rk couldnt help but lower his eyes, his eyes curving into a smile. Also, to those who say I should act in other shows, or be the supporting female in other ys. What about it? I dont want to act in my own script, I want to go out and y, do I have to apply to you? Oh, and those who mock me for not attending college, Daisy Zane continued, is there a major conflict between not attending college and learning through reading on my own? Now I want to ask those trolls online, why is your quality so poor despite your high education? Shouldnt you reflect on whether you are wasting educational resources? Everyone was stunned, they thought they came to hear her rify things, not to listen to her confront people. Also to those who say I am young, Daisy Zane paused, I thank you. I am indeed very young. Kevin rk couldnt help butugh. Fortunately, there wereughs in the crowd, covering his voice. But age and ability are not directly rted. So uncles and aunts, dont underestimate the abilities and strengths of us young people. As for those who say I have a secret affair with Edward Monk Daisy Zane frowned, Edward Monk besides shooting movies and TV series, Ive never seen him like anything else. As for me Im too young to be interested in older men. Theughter in the crowd grew louder and louder. Lastly to those who still think I am impersonating Flynn Ninevara you might as well sue me. Dont hide online. Ive said all I want to say Thank you all foring, Daisy Zane bowed, expressing her gratitude, Fall of the Quince was finished before the New Year. Its the first show Ive acted in earnest. I hope you will support it when its broadcasted. Support Flynn Ninevara! Someone shouted in the crowd. Then everyone shouted together. The huge noise rushed into Daisy Zanes ears, and she stepped back unconsciously, her eyelids trembling involuntarily. Kevin rk instinctively reached out to support her. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk, then looked at the crowd and said, Thank you all for your support, thank you. I have to go now. Flynn Ninevara! As soon as she said she wanted to leave, someone in the crowd suddenly called out to her. The voice sounded fearful, breaking with tremors. Yes? Daisy Zane looked at her. Can you, can you sign an autograph? The girl looked like a college student, perhaps nervous to see her idol or perhaps intimidated by Daisy Zanes aloofness, her hand and voice were shaking, Ive been a fan of yours since your first script. I I wanted to be closer to you, so I took the entrance exam for the Imperial Capital Film Academy to study screenwriting, and Im now in my sophomore year. All eyes fell on the two of them, Daisy Zane looked at the girl without moving, but the girls face turned red quickly. No, no autograph, or, or not, but- - Give it to me. The girl looked up at her in surprise, then immediately handed her the book and pen: Thank you. Whats the name? Just write my pen name. Clear Dust. Clear as in cold, and Dust as in dirt. Daisy Zane took the pen and wrote down her name, along with a blessing, and then signed Flynn Ninevaras name. Kevin rk watched her writing from the side, and suddenly raised his eyebrows. This writing was different from her usual writing. This writing had a strong and sweeping momentum, full of a majestic and free-spirited atmosphere. It seemed a bit familiar. Chapter 123 - 116: No Discord, No Concord Chapter 123: Chapter 116: No Discord, No Concord Trantor: 549690339 After the first person asked for an autograph, others quickly grew bolder. Although Daisy Zane seemed unapproachable, she didnt turn anyone down. As a result, she spent over half an hour just signing autographs. Juan Wright drove over to pick them up, but he didnt daree closer when he saw so many people from a distance. He only ran over to help with the luggage when both of them walked over to him. Happy New Year, Lady Zane, He said with a smile. Happy New Year, Daisy Zane replied. Once they got in the car, Daisy Zane leaned back in the seat, closing her eyes. Kevin rk held her hand and asked with augh, Tired? Just a bit noisy. Daisy Zane responded with her eyes closed. I cant tell what Flynn Ninevara means now. Kevin rk chuckled. Being a celebrity is really tough. Daisy Zane wasnt really tired, but she found the noisy, adoring environment a bit unbearable. Third Master Those media definitely captured you in their footage, do we need to deal with it? Juan Wright asked when they fell silent. What, can I not show my face? Kevin rk retorted. Juan Wright grimaced upon meeting his gaze in the rearview mirror. No, no, of course not. Listening to his obvious desire to live, Daisy Zane smirked and then opened her eyes. Lets deal with it. Juan Wright immediately responded, Alright, Ill make the call. Kevin rk turned his gaze from Daisy Zane to Juan Wright, raising an eyebrow. This guy seemed to have forgotten who he was working for. Making the call for Juan Wright meant calling Michael Jackson, telling him the situation, and ordering him to handle it. After he finished the call, Kevin rk, who was checking his cellphone, asked, Juan Wright, have you breached the defenses of Celestial Pivot yet? Juan Wright stiffened, obviously deting, No. Daisy Zane looked at Juan Wright. She had never seen him so disheartened. Kevin rk snorted, How far have you gotten? Wellwell Juan Wright wilted even more. Im still at that same step, no progress has been made. Should I go to Celestial Pivot and grab a hacker, and rece you? Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rk. Third Master. The defense system was built by Nathan Ninevara. Apart from Nathan himself, Id bet no one on this who could break it has been born yet. Juan Wrights voice got progressively softer, Unless you captured Holt Lawrence himself, anyone else we recruit probably wouldnt be as good as me. Kevin rk fell silent for a moment, Have there been any updates on Nathan Ninevara? None. Juan Wright said, No trace at all. Sometimes I wonder if hes still alive. Daisy Zane: . Moreoverhe paralyzed the entire program of our skyscraper when he sabotage us. You issued a warrant for him at that time. Juan Wright said, If it were me, I wouldnt show up either. Id be afraid of you chopping off my hands, or worse, you might kill me. Daisy Zane scratched her cheek and looked out of the car window. Although he belongs to Celestial Pivot now, with his level, even Holt Lawrence probably doesnt know where he is. Juan Wright continued, The only option avable to us is to break into Celestial Pivots system, forcing him out. Once hees out, we couldunch an attack on Celestial Pivot and force Holt Lawrence to hand him over. Daisy Zane: . Once that happens and we have Nathan Ninevara on our side, we can let bygones be bygones. Juan Wright said excitedly, If he refuses to followthen well cut off his hands, chop off his feet, open his head, then Shut up, Kevin rk said softly. Juan Wright suddenly remembered Daisy Zanes presence, in a hurry, he said, Lady Zane, I was joking. We normally act upright, really! To this, Daisy Zane returned a you think I believe that? sort of look. Really. Juan Wright said, Against our enemies, we always try to change them with love. Youre full of ideas, how about I give you the position of Big Boss? Kevin rk suggested. No, no, no. Third Master. What I said was nonsense, Juan Wright quickly responded. If you continue to be this worthless, eating food without doing work, Ill chop off your hands first. Kevin rk didnt even look at him, his voice calm but deadly. Juan Wrights heart skipped a beat. He swallowed and didnt dare say another word.. Chapter 124 - 116: No Discord, No Concord_2 Chapter 124: Chapter 116: No Discord, No Concord_2 Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk didnt bother with him anymore, and turned his head to Daisy Zane, saying, Stay and y in Imperial Capital for a few more days before going back. Daisy Zane thought for a while and said, Thats fine. In a few days, there will be an auction at the Doomsday Hotel, Kevin rk said, Lets go check it out together. Daisy Zane was reminded ofst year when the two didnt know each other yet, and they both grabbed things at the Doomsday Hotel auction and she had never grabbed anything from him. She stared at him. Kevin rk smiled, holding her hand and said, This time, whatever you like, Ill pay for it and I wont grab it again. Daisy Zane also gave a very faint smile. We can be considered having be friends through fighting. Daisy Zane looked at him, and after a while, nodded her head. Indeed, they became friends through fighting, six years ago, she had paralyzed the entireputer system of his Easton Group building. It was at that time that she learned about the existence of a character like Kevin rk. Although she hadnt seen his face at the time, thinking about it now, she had a great admiration for him at the time. Thats why she quickly retreated. She was so kind back then. If she had yed off him at the time, maybe she would have escaped early, maybe Forget it there are no more maybes. Daisy Zanes interview response started a big wave on the inte. Both Daisy Zane and Catherines Facebook fans increased a lot. Even people who had never heard of Catherine became admirers of her looks. Some people even became fans of her in, cold, and somewhatzy voice. Even more, ament suggesting her to be a voice actor got several hundred thousand likes. Of course, anything has two sides, and there were also people scolding her, among them scolding her for being arrogant, scolding her for being unapproachable, as if she were above everyone else. Of course, there were also people questioning whether or not she was Catherine. Then that evening, someone posted photos of Catherines autograph from the morning, as well as a postcard from a sunflower bouquet Catherine had given Catherine at George Dunns birthday party two years ago. The postcard had a big six-word message: Happy Birthday. With Catherines signature at the end. George Dunn had asked for the bouquet a month before his birthday, sending her a message every day to remind her of his birthday, fearing shed forget. When he received it on his birthday, he basically held it throughout the entire party. The postcard wasnt very big and was hidden inconspicuously in the flowers, but eagle-eyed fans had spotted it and taken a photo. They had actually discussed it on a small scale, saying that Catherines handwriting was very beautiful and that she was clearly a very cultured person. With identical autographs and handwritinging out, the voices of doubt became much less. Then, about an hour after the Facebook post, George Dunn posted a photo of the postcard from that year online. A few minutester, he posted a video. It was a screen recording of his cell phone, and he even said, Let you guys appreciate Catherines voice. The content of the screen recording was a chat log Daisy Zane sent to him a year ago. At the beginning, there was the specific time of the chat, followed by George Dunns thirty-second long voice message. Then there were Daisy Zanes three voice messages, totaling over fifty seconds. The whole thing started with a dispute between George Dunn and Director Morris over a shot. Caught in a deadlock, George Dunn had sought out Catherine, but Catherine had the same thoughts as Director Morris. George Dunn was almost frantic in his words, while Daisy Zanes voice remained t and unhurried. Although by the end, her impatience was clearly audible. Eventually, the conversation ended with Daisy Zane saying, Film both versions and then see which one looks better. After posting the Facebook post, George Dunnmented below it: After both versions were filmed, Director Morris kept praising the version I wanted. However, the version he wanted was used in the end. There were mockingments below the post. Hahahaha, George Dunn didnt recognize the word anymore. And just when everyone thought this matter was over, the next morning at exactly 9 0clock, the former dean of the National Theater spoke up. The old master was almost eighty years old and had retired long ago, but his prestige remained. Anyone who had studied at the Film Academy, or in any rted professional field, would have a special ss on the old masters great achievements. A legendary figure. The old master didnt have his own social media ount, so he used his granddaughters Facebook to post the video. Dressed in Tang Dynasty-style clothing, sitting up straight on a chair, looking at the lens and speaking appropriately: Over the Chinese New Year, I saw some messages online. After much deliberation, I decided toe out and say a few words. The old master reached out and picked up a photo from the table, a freshly printed photo. Holding the photo, he aimed it at the lens and said, Can you see clearly? Grandpa, lower the photo a bit, a little lower, there, perfect, a female voice said. Ive met that girl Catherine once, very young and beautiful. This is a photo my granddaughter took secretly of us at the time, with Director Morris present as well. Shes been saving it, and although its not good to take sneaky photos, at least it serves as evidence. Yesterday you scolded me all afternoon, the granddaughter suddenly said, You even hit me with your cane. You deserved it, the old master red at her before continuing, Ive read Catherines script, and not only is it fascinating, but its also very meaningful. On this point, I hope our domestic screenwriters can learn from her. Catherine is about the same age as my granddaughter. That little girl has given me a new understanding of this generation of young people and represents new strength in our society. As an elder, I feel proud and reassured to see such sessors in this industry. I know that with young people like them inheriting the tradition in this industry, I can rest easy even a hundred yearster. So, I hope our industry doesnt discourage young people. I also hope the atmosphere in this industry can be rectified, not too impetuous, and stop resorting to underhanded tactics. As the old master said this, he tapped the floor with his cane. We are public figures, and we must set positive examples to guide our youth. Alright, thats all I have to say. During the New Year, everyone should spend more time with their families and not go online to make baseless remarks. Goodbye, everybody. The video ended, and the photo the old master had held was posted again separately afterward. Although there was no date to prove when the photo was taken, no one dared to question it. Because at that time, Director Morris still had long shoulder-length hair, and he was wearing a coffee-colored, worn-out cotton-padded jacket with his elbows worn through. Director Morris had cut his hair short just the year beforest, and that iconic tattered cotton-padded jacket was snatched away by a monkey during a shootst year. So, George Dunn had posted on Facebook about his tragic experience at that time. And thements below the post were all celebrating that Director Morris could finally get a new padded jacket.. Chapter 125 - 117: You Are Still the Best Chapter 125: Chapter 117: You Are Still the Best Trantor: 549690339 Did you find Old Master Ian? Daisy Zane saw the video online and called Morris. Old Master Ian has been retired for so many years? Morris said, That time we met was just a chance encounter. Do I have that much face to invite him? Besides, I forgot that you were there when we met. Morris used to work at the National Theater, and Old Master Ian retired in Morriss second year of work. Perhaps because of his bad temper and weird personality at times, the old master had a particrly deep impression of Morris. So when they met at the restaurant, Old Master Ian recognized Morris immediately, and the two talked for a few minutes. Maybe it was indeed a matter of fate. Catherine and Morris happened to have dinner together and just happened to meet Old Master Ian that time. So Morris just gave a brief introduction. I wanted to ask you. Morris said, I thought you pulled some strings behind my back and got to know such an incredible person. Daisy Zane: . Do you know Old Master Ians status in this industry? Morris excitedly said, He is a divine presence. His verification for you is like your screenwriter status being endorsed by the country. An official authoritative certification. Its one hundred times more impressive than you winning ten thousand awards. Im even basking in your glory. Use Catherines Facebook to reply to that video. Daisy Zane said. Okay. I know. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zaney in bed for a while, only getting up to wash and rinse when the sound of the piano came from downstairs. When she went downstairs, Harton rk was sitting next to Charles Amos, watching him y the piano. When did youe? Daisy Zane, wearing white home clothes and a bun, walked over to the piano. Charles Amos stopped ying and said in a milky voice, Uncle rk came early in the morning, took me out for a run, apanied me for breakfast, helped me practice writing, and now is apanying me to y the piano. And youve been sleeping. You must be itching for a spanking, arent you? Charles Amos nced at her, closed his little mouth, and dared not speak. Harton rk rubbed the childs hair and said to Daisy Zane, Go eat something first. Hmm. Daisy Zane agreed but didnt move. Leaning on the piano, she asked, Is Old Master Ian the one you found? Harton rk nodded: The rks still have some influence in Imperial Capital. Did you go yesterday afternoon? Hmm. How did you know we met? Not only had Morris forgotten their meeting, but Daisy Zane would have almost forgotten as well if she hadnt seen that photo. After all, it was such a hurried encounter, and she didnt really care about it. Xavier Dominic is close to Old Master Ians granddaughter. Harton rk said, His granddaughter said she and her grandfather met Catherine before. Butthey didnt reveal whether Catherine was male or female. Later in a casual conversation, Xavier mentioned it to me. How long ago was that? Daisy Zane asked. Quite a long time ago. Harton rk replied honestly, But seeing those things on Facebook that day, I suddenly remembered it, so I went to visit him yesterday afternoon. I just wanted him to verify it, but I didnt expect such a windfall with the photo. Youre amazing. Daisy Zane looked at him, You even managed to invite Old Master Ian. Youre the amazing one. Harton rk pinched her finger, Without your ability, even if I brought people to beat him up at his home, he wouldnt havee forward. Hmm, I ept your praise. Charles Amos listened to them with one eye and silently wondered in his heart: Whats the point of falling in love? Is it happier than ying the piano? Or happier than writing code? They really didnt understand them. Amelia Miles looked at the news in thest two days, bing so angry that she smashed two cell phones in her apartment and destroyed almost everything that could be broken in her home. As for John Anderson, they had met twice and argued twice since she ran out from his ce. Due to family education, John had always had a good temper. He had never quarreled with Amelia Miles during their time together. However, this time, Amelia would argue with him after just a few words, making it impossible for them to converse properly. So John said that she should calm down for a couple of days, and he went on a business trip abroad. Amelia stayed alone in her apartment for a day, thinking her emotions had stabilized before she returned to the Miles Family home. As soon as she entered the house, she heard the family sitting together in the living room discussing Daisy Zanes affairs. Is this screenwriter from Flynn Ninevara that powerful? Old Master Miles asked, Even powerful enough to have Ian Grandfather toe forward and confirm Jace Miles said: Yes. Flynn Ninevara is also a legendary figure in the film and television industry, having won many awards and maintaining a good reputation. Charles Hobson listened on the side, staring motionlessly at the teacup on the table, barely suppressing a burning anger in the depths of his eyes. Old Master Miles nodded, Daisy Zane is indeed extraordinary. Johnanes Miles chimed in, Her news has been all over the inte these days. Ive seen two of her movies, and theyre very good. Any news on the Davis side? Liam Davis contacted me yesterday afternoon, saying that the Family Recognition Banquet should proceed as nned, Johanes Miles said. It should, indeed, continue as per nned, Old Master Miles said. Even without the Davis family, her screenwriter identity has reached this level, and she must have many connections. George Dunn, who has always been helping her rify matters, is the son of the Imperial City Dunn Family. It seems that their rtionship is very close based on what he posted. Yes. Then proceed as per nned, Old Master Miles said. Find media outlets and release the news first. Once the specific date is confirmed, make the official announcement. Okay. Jace, do you have any opinions about this matter? Old Master Miles suddenly asked him. Jace was enjoying a fruit te and nearly choked when Old Master Miles suddenly called on him. He quickly swallowed the fruit and said, I have no objections. They are all Fathers children; its right to recognize them. Charles Hobson red at him. Although I may not treat her like I would Amelia, Ill try to take on the role of an elder brother. Well, thats good, Old Master Miles said. Only with unity among siblings will the Miles Family continue to prosper. Yes, I know, Grandfather. Amelia heard these conversations at the entrance but didnt enter the living room. Instead, she turned around and left the house again. She returned to her car, changed the SIM card in her phone, and called someone. What are the investigation results about Daisy Zanes assistant? The voice on the other side was disguised, neither male nor female, saying, Shees from a normal family. Anisa Cooper has a boyfriend. Theyve been together for many years. However her family doesnt approve of their rtionship. Amelias fingertips circled the steering wheel, her eyes filled with a malicious glint: Create some trouble for her and her boyfriend, then resolve it. Let her be grateful and indebted so that she can be used by us. Okay. Is Daisy Zane still in Imperial Capital? Yes. Amelia was silent for two seconds before saying, Release the news to Benjamin Hobson. Benjamin Hobson? the voice on the other side said. Isnt he your cousin? Just release the news to him, Amelia said impatiently. Alright, Ill do it for the money, the voice on the other side said. Wait for the news.. Chapter 126 - 118: Getting Married into the Lane Family Chapter 126: Chapter 118: Getting Married into the Lane Family Trantor: 549690339 On the evening of the eighth day of the lunar month, the Doomsday Hotel held an auction. In the afternoon, Daisy Zane was waiting at home for Arthur North to pick her up. She was sitting in the living room, watching Charles Amos running back and forth in the room. His curly shoulder-length hair was all messed up. Come here, let me tie up your hair. Charles fetched a box of small hair ties from the living room bookshelf and grabbed an ancient Luban lock next to it. He sat on the carpet with his back to Daisy, fiddling with the exceedinglyplicated Luban lock Cant we just cut it short? Daisy ran her fingers through his hair and said, With those curls of yours, cutting it short would just make them frizzier. But which boy keeps long hair? Charles said and then continued, I dont want to be like that weird uncle. That person is weird, but it has nothing to do with him having long hair, Daisy said calmly. If you go back a few hundred years, everyone had long hair. Thats feudal dross, not eptable, Charles argued. Feudal dross refers to thoughts and certain systems, Daisy said, The way youre thinking right now is truly feudal dross. Oh, Charles responded and was silent for a while before asking, But who did I inherit these curls from? Wilton Edwards, who was watering the nts in the living room, suddenly quivered, and the water spilled out. Daddys hair is both ck and straight, Charles said. Although Moms is a bit yellow, its still straight. Who knows where your quarter-blood genes came from, Daisy tied a half-bun for him and said, Off you go. Charles touched his small bun, put the box of hair ties back in ce, and began running around the living room again. After a while, Wilton served Daisy a bowl of his freshly boiled Treme soup and said, Young Master is much more lively since Miss came back. Daisy sat up straight, took the bowl with both hands, and said, You talk too much. Wilton sat down on a single sofa, and just as he was about to say something, the cell phone on Daisys table suddenly rang, interrupting him. Daisy nced at the iing call disy, which was from Felix Baker, an overseas call. She picked up the phone and put it on speakerphone. Youre in D Continent? Yes, Felix replied. I arrived here on the third day of the lunar month. Whats the matter? Daisy sipped her Treme soup and said, You dont sound very happy. Fuck, the price of jadeite in D Continent has skyrocketed several times, Felix cursed. Now, even if I pay 40 percent of the price, its no different from when I paid the full amount before. Daisy frowned slightly and asked, Whats going on? I dont know, Felix said, I cant find any information. People are only saying that if you want to buy, pay up; if you dont want to, just leave. What about the diamonds in F Continent? Did you check on those? What do you mean? Are those in charge of F Continents diamonds and those in D Continent in cahoots? Felix wondered in surprise. Hmm, Daisy replied calmly. Felix then cursed in a series of expletives. Ill have someone look into it, Daisy said. You might want toe back first. D Continent was chaotic, and if he stayed too long, he might run into trouble. Ill go check on the gold prices first. Checking on gold meant going to Darknight Alliance territory, which should be safe. Alright, go ahead. After hanging up the phone, Daisy thought for a moment and asked in the group chat: [Whos in D Continent?] Henry Brown: [Big Boss, Im here.] Daisy Zane: [Find out whats been going on with those few jadeite mines recently? Why the sudden price increase?] Henry Brown: [Yes, Big Boss, Im on it.] Daisy Zane: [Also, Felix Bakerthats the one who often buys our gold domestically. Keep an eye on him discreetly when hes on our turf.] Henry Brown: [Understood.] Daisy Zane: [Be careful.] Henry Brown: [Got it.] The Imperial Capital Apocalypse Hotel was even more luxurious than the one in Truro City. Just randomly picking a piece of debris from anywhere would be worth a fortune. The hotel was built entirely in an ancient architectural style, intricately carved beams and painted rafters, exquisite halls decorated with jade. All the lights were covered withnterns, casting a warm, dim glow. The beams and pirs also had unique totem markings. It seemed like a distinct emblem. As soon as you stepped in, youd feel like youd been transported to a different era. The auction was taking ce in the exhibition hall. Kevin rk led Daisy Zane to a private room on the upper floor through the side gate. The auction was about to begin downstairs. The seats were already full. The private rooms upstairs were quite discreet. People who didnt want to be seen or those with special identities would usually be upstairs. Even the private rooms upstairs didnt know who was in the other rooms. Last time, you sat across from me. Kevin said. Daisy took off her coat and put it on the chair: So, I could clearly see your bids every time. Kevinughed a bit and said, What was your mood then? Jealous of the rich. Daisy replied, At that time, my resentment towards you exceeded that of my first resentful target. The first resentful target? Doomsday Hotel. Daisy said, Ive seen a lot of rich people. But those like Doomsday Hotel, unting their wealth are just so easy to hate. Allonzo Hobson chuckled and gave Daisy a thumbs-up: Brook Sister, youre brave for saying the Lane Family deserves a beatdown. You tter me. Daisy replied. Kevin smiled at her. The first time I stepped into the Doomsday Hotel, my first instinct was to make it my own. Daisy said. Allonzos mouth twitched. What a grand aspiration. He dared not even dream of it his entire life. Have you done anything in pursuit of this goal? Kevin asked, pouring tea for her. Daisy looked at the color of the tea, paused, and said, After observing for three years, the only easy and reasonable method I could think of was to marry into the Lane Family. CoughI Allonzo almost choked on a sunflower seed shell. Kevins hand trembled, spilling tea on the table. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright had been sitting behind the three of them. Both were shocked. Michael was quick to react, standing up and grabbing some tissues to clean the spilled tea. When Daisy saw his tea spill, she nced at him. Kevin seemed to want to say something, but his lips quivered, and he suddenly couldnt speak. He suddenly remembered that Daisy seemed quite interested in the Lane familys affairs. After all, aside from the ostentatious Doomsday Hotel, they were very mysterious. It was normal for people to be curious; everyone was curious. What he never expected was that she would have such a thought. Warning bells rang in his heart. Lucia. Kevin said seriously, Actually my family is also very rich, even richer than the Lane family. Allonzo, Michael, and Juan all turned to look at Kevin. Does your familys wealth have a lot to do with you? You dont even have any shares or inheritance rights. Daisy looked at him and said casually. Kevins mouth twitched. The other three all pursed their lips, obviously wanting tough but fearing it would be bad luck at this moment, so they held it in. Im also very rich. Kevin said, Not worse off than the Lane family. Daisy looked at him, his anxious expression to prove himself, and couldnt help it: she burst outughing. Seeing herugh, Kevin knew she was teasing him again, and he had fallen for it once more. I just thought it was one possible option. Daisy said with a light smile, I never said I wanted to follow through with it. Allonzo rubbed his face, trying to tamp down the corners of his mouth, trying not to grin. Kevin clenched his teeth, pinched her face, and threatened, Ill tame you sooner orter. Daisy used the back of her hand to rub the spot he pinched, lowered her head, andughed even harder.. Chapter 127 - 119: Brother misses you Chapter 127: Chapter 119: Brother misses you Trantor: 549690339 The auction began, with properties andnd being sold at first, followed by various art pieces. Daisy Zane wasnt particrly interested and just enjoyed the food and drinks in the partition room. Kevin rk flipped through the auction manual: Anything you like? Daisy was about to answer when her cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen and saw an iing unknown call: Ill step out and take this call. Alright. Kevin nodded. Outside the partition room, the Lane Family members were stationed, both men and women. To maintain secrecy, they made sure that no one in the partition rooms could see each other. At least within this area, everyone was oblivious to who sat beside them. So, the Lanes stood guard outside each partition room. Miss, is there anything I can help you with? Taking a phone call. This way, please. The waitress led Daisy to a public area. By the time they arrived at the public area, the phone had already disconnected. Daisy walked to the window and looked at her cell phone. After waiting for a while, the phone rang again quickly. She pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear: Who is this? After a two-second silence, the caller suddenlyughed: Enigma Starry. Happy New Year. Upon hearing the voice, Daisy clenched her phone, and her lips turned white in an instant. A momentary look of terror shed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into deep hatred and a killing intention. If one looked closely, her body was also trembling slightly. Hearing no response from her, the caller continued: Enigma, have you missed your brother? Daisy felt like everything around her had suddenly darkened and all the light disappeared. Brother misses Enigma so much that he cant sleep at night. Every time I close my eyes, I see Enigma smiling and calling for her brother. Shut up! Daisy growled softly. The caller justughed and continued, I really wanted to see Enigmast time, butEnigma was with someone else, which made brother angry. And Enigma still doesnt realize her mistakes, if she were to meet her brother, violence would be inevitable. Brother would be heartbroken. What do you want? As Daisy said this, the veins on her neck bulged, and her voice turned hoarse. Of course, I miss our Enigma. It took me a lot of effort to find this number. Youre asking for death. The caller suddenlyughed and took some time to respond, Enigma, everything youve learned was taught to you by me. No one in this world understands you better than I do. As long as I dont want you to find me, you will never find me. Really? Certainly. I raised you; I can see right through you. The caller said slowly, You can never beat me. So, Enigma, juste back obediently. Dont let more people die because of you. What do you say? You want Kevin rk to be next? You Daisys hand shook even more violently, but she managed to stop herself from saying anything, Do whatever you want. Their deaths have nothing to do with me. Is that so? The callers voice was drawn-out. Just like you said, I was raised by you and educated by you. Daisy gripped her trembling fingers hard, trying to maintain a calm voice, Im just like you, stopping at nothing to achieve my goals. As long as I can kill you, I dont mind a few more lives. Enigma, youre really disobedient! The callertone suddenly turned cold.]]> After a pause, he hung up the phone abruptly. Upon hearing the disconnection, Daisy lost her grip on the phone, and it slipped from her hand. She closed her eyes, leaned against the window frame and momentarily caught her breath. It took her almost a minute to open her eyes again and pick up her phone. The screen shattered. She should have heard a loud noise, but she hadnt. She lowered her head for another moment, staring at the cracked screen before turning to sneak into the restroom. In the restrooms sink, Daisy turned on the cold water and rinsed her hands beneath it. The ice-cold water slowly prated her skin and seeped into her bones, making her fingers ache more and more. It took her some time toe back to her senses. Just as she turned off the faucet, she heard voices outside the restroom. Two women one older and another in her twenties. The older woman had a clear and unique Beijing ent, very pleasing to the ear. The voice wasforting, so Daisy didnt make a move. She looked up into the mirror only when the two women entered the restroom. The one who entered first wore a light blue cheongsam with a white shawl. She appeared to be over 50 years old. A strikingly beautiful face with captivating eyes. Her smile was proper, and even just standing there emitted an aura of gentle elegance. She also caught sight of Daisy in the mirror, and asmon among beautiful women drawn to each other, their eyes locked and they both paused momentarily. Daisy Zane looked at her, even though she had never seen this woman before, she recognized her at a nce. This was Kevins mother. The two of them looked too alike. Not only in appearance but also in temperament, they shared some simrities. Daisy Zane made the first move, looking at her through the mirror and politely nodding her head. Aunt Wayne, whats wrong? The woman next to Natalie Wayne noticed Daisy Zane, her eyshes trembled, and she called the distracted Natalie back to reality. Ah, its nothing. Natalie smiled, ra, I suddenly dont want to go to the restroom anymore. You go first. Only then did Daisy Zane look at the woman next to Natalie. She was very beautiful, with long, ck, wavy hair and wearing a red dress. She had a great figure, fiery red lips, a pair of willow-like eyes, and was very charming. And she must have been exercising regrly or something because her exposed arms had a strong sense of power, and her lines looked great. But standing next to Natalie, she lost all her color. Bonnie Maxwell looked at Daisy Zane one more time, and then said with a smile, Alright, wait for me outside. This Bonnie Maxwell was the Miss Maxwell mentioned by Thomas Firway. Alright, go ahead. After Bonnie Maxwell entered the restroom, Natalie took a lipstick out of her handbag, twisted it out while walking towards Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes hands were red from the cold water. She took a few pieces of paper, wiped her hands dry, and was about to leave. But when she turned around and walked past Natalie, Natalies high heels suddenly twisted, and she immediately fell towards Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane subconsciously tried to support her. However, Natalies movement was swift, smearing all the lipstick onto Daisy Zanes clothes until it broke and fell to the ground. OuchI Are you alright? Daisy Zane helped her up. Natalie stood up, Im so sorry, Im so sorry. Im getting old, and my legs arent working well. Did you sprain your foot? Daisy Zane was unaware that her cold voice had softened a bit. Natalie moved her foot, Its okay, its okay. Im fine. But your dress. Daisy Zane looked down. She was wearing an off-white dress today, and now her waist had several smudges of lipstick on it, very eye-catching. Its fine, dont worry. How can it be okay? Natalie seemed to be afraid Daisy would run away, she grabbed her arm at once. Although she talked about the dress, her eyes were fixed on Daisys face, This dress looks expensive, and its gotten dirty just like that. Let mepensate you. Madam, no need. Ill wash it when I go home. How can this fabric be washed off! Natalie said, Give me your contact information, and Illpensate you. Madam, really, theres no need. We have to. Definitely have to. Natalie said, then suddenly patted her own chest, I have a bad heart. If I dontpensate you, Ill keep feeling guilty about this, and I could easily get sick. Daisy Zanes mouth twitched a bit. Do you really want to see me at this age hospitalized? Daisy Zane looked at the hand holding her arm. Give me your mobile number Natalie said, taking her cell phone out of her bag, then sping Daisys wrist, Let me write it down. Daisy Zane felt that she couldnt go back today without giving her mobile number. So, she reported her mobile number. After Natalie entered the mobile number, she immediately called Daisy and saw her phone ringing. Then she gently let go of her arm and smiled. Thats my aunts mobile number. Wait for Aunt to contact you. Daisy Zane nodded with an expression she didnt know what to make. As soon as Daisy Zane left, Natalie immediately sent the mobile number to Hugo rk. Then she started sending voice messages one by one on her phone. Hugo, this mobile number belongs to a beautiful girl. Shes gorgeous and definitely fits your taste. Add her contact information and talk. Im telling you, the moment I saw her, I knew shes destined to be with our family. Add her contact, ask her out to meet. I have a premonition; this could happen. Im warning you; Ive set my eyes on this girl. You must meet her for me. If youe up with any excuses not to, Ill have your father chase and hit you. By the way, I got her dress dirty. You help mepensate her for that. This is something we must do. Chapter 128 - 120 Easton Group Chapter 128: Chapter 120 Easton Group Trantor: 549690339 Bonnie Maxwell had finished using the restroom a while ago but she stayed inside and continued listening. She knew about Daisy Zanes existence and had investigated her identity. Ass from the countryside, and an illegitimate child. Kevin rk was interested in her probably because he found her attractive and she fit his aesthetic preferences. After all, in some respects, Daisy Zane had something inmon with Natalie Wayne. Men tend to be fond of women who bear resemnce to their mothers. However, for Daisy Zane, with her current status, to enter the rk familywas absolutely impossible. Kevin rk surely understood this too, he was just amusing himself with her. But nowthe sudden interest of Natalie Wayne in Daisy made things a different story. Even though she had introduced Daisy to Hugo rk, shecouldnt let down her guard. Bonnie Maxwell waited until Natalie Wayne and Hugo rk had finished their chat and then a little while more before leaving the restroom. Aunt Wayne, Im ready. Natalie Wayne put away her phone, and gently smiled, Lets go back and see if there are any pieces you like. Okay. Bonnie Maxwell held Natalies arm. After leaving the restroom, she casually said, The woman in the restroom just now seemed to be a celebrity. Do you recognize her? Natalie Wayne looked at her and asked. I have seen her online. Bonnie Maxwell said, I think her name is something Daisy Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane. Natalie Wayne repeated the name, smiled gently, Zane its a nice name. I saw online that shes apparently from the Truro Song Family. The Song Family? Natalie Wayne took another look at Bonnie Maxwell, continuing her thought, Then why is her surname Zane? Is it her mothers surname? Yes, its said online that Daisy was born from her fathers extramarital affair. Bonnie Maxwell stopped there and said softly, Im not sure if it is true. We cant believe everything on the inte. Itsmon for celebrities to disparage each other. The entertainment industry is quite chaotic. Natalie Waynes expression didnt change,menting as if she were chatting idly, Her background seems quite pitiful. Bonnie Maxwell paused for a moment, Indeed, nobody wants to bear thebel of illegitimate child. Natalie Wayne smiled and naturally switched the topic. When Daisy Zane left the restroom, she only took a few steps before running into Kevin rk. Upon seeing him, Daisy Zane felt at ease for reasons unknown. But such subconscious peace was soon reced by a sense of fear and unease deep within her heart. She touched the tips of her fingers and smiled, Howe youre here? You didnte back, so I came out to check on you. Kevin rk looked at her clothes after he had finished speaking, What happened to your clothes? Daisy Zane: . How was she to exin this? Um I ran into ady and she inadvertently smeared them. Kevin rk looked at her, sensing something was off: Ady? Are you sure it was idental? It looked more like it had been done on purpose. Yes. Daisy Zane decided not to tell the whole truth. If she did, Kevin rk might take her to confront Mrs. rk. Shereally didnt want that. Kevin rk stared at her for a moment: Are you sure youre okay? Im really okay. Okay. Kevin rk smiled, Do you want to go back, or look around for a bit longer? Daisy Zane looked at him, thought for a moment, and said: Lets look around a bit longer. Okay. Kevin rk held her hand which was noticeably cold. He lowered his eyes and enveloped her hand within his own. After returning to the partition room, Daisy Zane flipped through the auction manual. Kevin rk asked one of the Lanes outside for a hand warmer for her. Have you found anything you like yet? Kevin rk repeated the question he had just asked before. Daisy Zane fiddled with the hand warmer in her hand, then pointed to the small intelligent robot on the page, saying, This oneis quite good. Allonzo Hobson, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright all instinctively nced at her. Kevin rk looked at the robot for a while then asked, You like it? Daisy Zane gave him a look, arching her brow slightly while intentionally dabbing twice on the logo of Ryan Easton. This small intelligent robot is designed for the convenience of everyday life and for preventing everyday dangers. Based on the existing intelligent robots in the market, researchers would need probably at least another decade to catch up with the Eastons robot. And Daisy Zane was quite clear that this was something that Easton had brought out from their reserve research. Since they are putting it on auction, they intend to make the intelligent technology public. As for the core technology of Easton, what Easton emphasizes and what cant be disclosed to the outside world, thats in an even broader sense. Even though it is currently private research, once it is sessful, or the technological effect has reached the expected level, it should be handed over to the national government. This is what Daisy Zane saw six years ago, it is enormously significant for security. Lucia, do youknow something? watched Kevin rk, asking pointedly. Daisy Zane fixed her gaze upon his, her lips slightly curling, I know a lot of things. Kevin rks gaze that held hers suddenly darkened, his eyes reflecting a ruthless determination, his voice slightly low, Really? Yes. said Daisy Zane, her action against him, akin with standing against the edge of a sword without any fear, I not only know that Eastons Group mass-produces electronic products, artificial intelligence on the surface, I also know what Eastons Group researches secretly The secret that Daisy was aware of, so she halted rather than saying it outright; Alsol know that the Easton Group is of the rk lineage. The rk as in Kevin rk. Allonzo Hobson clenched his fists, Michael Jackson felt a chill pass over him, and Juan Wright looked serious for once. Kevin rk watched her, his eyes held an unprecedented seriousness and intensity towards her. Very few people knew about what he did, even his parents were unaware. What did she know? Who is behind her? Daisy Zane kept looking at him as well. However, Allonzo Hobson and the other two shared the same thought, that they shouldnt underestimate her, but they still did. Yet, Kevin rk gazed at her for a while, and all of a sudden heughed, all his malevolence disappeared. He nced at the robot on the catalog, Do you like it? If you do, I can have a few delivered for you to y with. Daisy Zane looked at him, neither moved nor said a word. The other three noticed Kevin rks attitude and seemed to want to say something, but they remained silent in the end. Lucia? Daisy Zane looked down at the catalog and shook her head, then after a while, joked, Arent you going to make this another unsolved case? If it was someone else, it would be nasty. rks response was with a raised eyebrow. Kevin rk believed she wouldnt harm Easton, and she wouldnt reveal their secrets. Moreover, he had confidence in himself. Even six years ago, when Nathan Ninevara shut down the whole Easton, he couldnt touch the core of Easton. At most, they only found out what they were researching on a deeper level. Because their secret research itself was separate from Easton. And they increased their security afterwards. The more people who knew about it, the more trouble they would have. For example, someone would directly bring people to Eastons territory and forcefully seize the technology. Although, she didnt take that into ount. But its always better to avoid trouble whenever possible. So if the person who said those things just now wasnt Daisy Zane. Now that person, including the people behind him, shouldnt expect to get away with it. Daisy Zane also smiled lightly and looked down at the auction below. Her thumb was constantly rubbing against the hand warmer in her hand, almost wearing down the thinyer of skin on its surface.. Chapter 129 - 121: When Will You Give (me) A Status? Chapter 129: Chapter 121: When Will You Give (me) A Status? Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk was at the auction for fun and it would be hard to exin if he didnt bid on anything. There was a dressing box at the back,ing from the hands of an old master during the Ennd period. The material, craftsmanship, and carving were all very good. So Kevin rk asked Juan Wright to bid. But There was a bidding voice from the partition room in the southeast corner of the upper floor. He thought they would give up after a few bids. But unexpectedly, the person in the southeast corner was relentless. And they showed no signs of weakness, following closely. Daisy Zane was sitting beside him, chatting with Kevin rk as usual, but half of her mind had already wandered off. Thinking about other things. So she didnt think much and assumed that the dressing box was for his mother. She had seen how Kevin rk was wealthy and persistent, so she just quietly watched Juan Wright bidding on the side. As the stalemate between the two parties continued, and no one was willing to give in, the auction on the ground floor had be a spectacle and could not proceed towards its conclusion. So the Lane Family intervened and mediated. Although they didnt know who was in the partition rooms, the Lane Family knew. So they came to Kevin rks side first to inform them of the details. The door of the partition was knocked. Michael Jackson opened the door, spoke a few words with the Lane Family, and then came back in. Third Master Michael Jackson bent down beside Kevin rk and whispered, The one bidding against us is Madam. Juan Wright had just called out another bid, and upon hearing this, he suddenly looked at Kevin rk. His neck almost snapped. My mom? Kevin rk looked at Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson nodded his head, his expression somewhat tragic: Yes. Kevin rk: Although half of Daisy Zanes mind was upied with other matters, she still chuckled. Raising the price against ones own family Juan Wright, let my mom buy it, Kevin rk whispered softly. Welle over when its time to pick up the items. Juan Wright twitched his mouth, even smacking his own mother. So after the auction ended and it was time to pick up the items, Kevin rk went to Tom Waynes car first. Why are you here? Tom Wayne asked as he looked at him. Bonnie Maxwell was also in the car seat behind her, and when she saw Kevin rk, her eyes brightened for a moment: Third Master. Kevin rk responded, but didnt look at her. He looked at Tom Wayne and said, Mom, can I have the dressing box? Huh? What do you need it for? Tom Wayne asked, then continued, The one bidding against me just now it wasnt you, was it? Ah, mom, about that Wait a minute! Tom Wayne, sitting behind the driver, suddenly leaned over, grabbed his left wrist, and looked at the Eaglewood bracelet on his wrist. Kevin rk, what is this? Kevin rk: He would always take off the bracelet before going Home, afraid that his parents would gossip. After all, he hadnt won her over yet, and it would be easy to be ridiculed by the crowd. He forgot to take it off today. No doubt his mom had developed a keen eye from her years of opera practice. Bonnie Maxwell also looked over, her expression immediately darkening. But it was dark inside the car, so no one noticed her. This Kevin rk looked at the bracelet, and the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted. Tom Wayne had never seen her son smile like this. This was obviously obviously a young man smitten with love. Well, this description might not be entirely urate since he was almost thirty. This is not the point, the point is Kevin rk, you, you Natalie Wayne grips his wrist again, using some force, When am I going to be a grandmother? Its February now, by the end of the year should be fine, right? Its fine, right? Theres no problem, right? Bonnie Maxwell shifts to a darker spot, clenching her teeth and hands tightly. So now I have to hurry and prepare the betrothal gifts Kevin rk?. ..Mom1 Before Kevin rk finishes speaking, Natalie Wayne grips his wrist and flips it, with her fingers touching his pulse: Let me see if youre going to hold me back from being a grandmother. Kevin rk quickly grabs his mothers hand and pulls it away from his wrist. His face turns a bit pale. But this is his own mother, so he doesnt dare to do anything, he just says helplessly, Mom the dressing box. Oh, I see, I see. Natalie Wayne smiles, Consider it a gift to my daughter-inw. When are you bringing her home? Let us meet her too, I Mom, Ill be going first. Kevin rk takes her hand and quickly opens the door, gets out of the car, and leaves. Natalie Waynes mouth twitches in response. A few seconds pass, and she looks at her fingertips. He wont let her touch his pulse, could it be Natalie Wayne takes a sharp breath, immediately deciding to go home and study a prescription. After talking with his mother, Kevin rk leaves with Daisy Zane first. He asks Juan Wright to get the dressing box. After taking Daisy Zane home, the car stops in the courtyard entrance, and Kevin rk apanies her inside. Daisy Zanes hand is tucked into her coat pocket while she slowly walks, saying, I thought you were getting the dressing box for Mrs. rk. Kevin rk leans back, hears her words, smiles, and softly repeats, Mrs. rk. Daisy Zane: . Daisy. Kevin rk stops and calls her name. Daisy Zane has already climbed a level of steps when she hears him speaking, so she turns and looks at him. Daisy. Kevin rk moves a step forward, gripping his fingertips, and slightly lowers his head to look at her, Daisy, when can you give me a title? A boyfriends title. Daisy Zane tilts her head to look at him, suddenly stunned. Her eyshes flutter twice, dazed. Theres a sudden pang in her heart. Seeing that she doesnt speak, Kevin rk lifts his hand to touch her face, and whispers gently, Its alright, theres no rush. This is a lifelong event and needs to be thought through. Daisy Zane looks at him and tightens her lips a little. Go home. Kevin rk says, Its toote; I wonte in. Mhm. When Daisy Zane returns home, Charles Amos is already asleep. She tells Wilton Edwards to go to bed, and she goes to Charless room herself. She sits in Charless room for more than an hour before returning to her own room. After taking a shower, Daisy Zane lies in bed for a long time. Thinking about todays phone calls, she cant fall asleep. Around 3 a.m., she puts on a coat, goes downstairs, and opens two bottles of wine. Then she sits by the bay window, sipping wine ss by ss. At around 4 0clock, Wilton Edwardses out and sees the light on under the bay window. He goes to check and sees Daisy Zane leaning on the ss, her hair a bit messy. An empty red wine bottle is lying at her feet, and another half-full bottle is beside it. Lady Daisy Zane turns her head to look at him. Her eyes are red, as if shes been crying, but it doesnt look like she shed any tears: Wilton Edwards, why are you out? Wilton Edwards is wearing a coat, and when he sees her like this, his eyes fill with tears. He walks to her side and asks, Lady, whats wrong? Did you encounter any problems? Daisy Zane sits up straight, raises her hand to brush back her hair, and says in a hoarse voice, Its nothing, I just cant sleep.. Chapter 130 - 122: Falling in Love with Him Chapter 130: Chapter 122: Falling in Love with Him Trantor: 549690339 Wilton Edwards sat at a distance from her and also sat down. Lady, if you have any concerns, feel free to talk to me. Daisy Zane took another sip of wine and then lowered her head without saying a word. Wilton Edwards sat beside her, not disturbing her. After a while, Daisy Zane said, I kind of miss Jack Amos. Wilton Edwards was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to wipe his eyes and swallowed before saying, Lady it has nothing to do with you. Daisy Zane shook her head, I just suddenly miss him. Lady youve put too much pressure on yourself. Wilton Edwards said, You used to be so happy. Daisy Zane smiled, propped her head on her bent knees, and was quiet for a while before asking, Wilton Edwards, what did you want to talk to me about this afternoon? Wilton Edwards thought for a moment and said, I wanted to ask whether to still bring Young Master with us to Truro City. I dont know. Daisy Zane said, I originally intended to bring him. Wilton Edwards listened quietly. I have to shoot a film, and he can easily be photographed by the media in Truro City. But I want him to have more contact with Kevin rk. Daisy Zane finished thest sip of wine in her ss, If something happens to me someday, the rk family is powerful, and Kevin rk is very loyal. Perhaps remembering our rtionship, he may protect you all. Lady In the domestic realm, no one is more formidable than the rk and Lane families. So when I found out that Kevin rk seemed to have feelings for me, I decided to take advantage of his feelings and borrow his power. With his help, many things would be more convenient to execute. Daisy Zane put down her wine ss, and her right thumb slowly pressed on her index and middle fingers, Kevin rk has a bad reputation. I think his affections wontst long, so I allowed him to approach me. I thought to exploit his feelings while he still likes me as much as possible. But Lady, you gradually realize that Kevin rk is serious. He is different from the rumors, he is a gentleman, polite, knows his boundaries, and respects thedy. Wilton Edwards nced at her fingers and said softly, When he thought Young Master was your biological child, he didnt leave. And for you, a young master who has been pampered since childhood went to Cold Green Vige. Wilton Edwards knew very well what Cold Green Vige meant to her. The moment Kevin rk wanted to go, he knew that this man would enter her heart. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly. Most importantly, he is good looking, and he makes thedy feelfortable in every way. Wilton Edwards said, Otherwise, with your personality, even with a purpose in mind, you wouldnt have been able to get along with him for long. Daisy Zane chuckled softly. Wilton Edwards alsoughed, then became silent for two seconds before saying, And now, not only has thedy discovered that he is serious, but she has also discovered that she has feelings for him. Daisy Zanes hand, which was pinching her finger, paused, and she remained silent. Is thedy afraid that the man will target Third Master rk? She thought of Jack Amos, and Wilton Edwards could tell what she was worried about by their conversation. Daisy Zane looked at him. Wilton Edwards smiled and said, Lady, I have watched you grow up Having said that, Wilton Edwards suddenly thought of something and wiped his eyes again. He calmed his emotions and said, Third Master is not ordinary; there is no need to worry. But that man is crazy. Daisy Zane had been calm all along, with no emotional fluctuations. Her voice, besides being hoarse, did not reveal any abnormalities, He is capable of anything. Lady, you have suffered so much over the years, but you have managed to protect us, and you can also protect Third Master. Wilton Edwards said, Moreover, the person who has won thedys heart must be extraordinary. Third Master is different from others. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, not saying a word. Seeing her silent, Wilton Edwards got up and fetched a medical kit. He ced the medicine box beside Daisy Zane, found several pain relief patches from inside, tore them open, and gave them to her, Is your hand hurting again? Daisy Zane took them. The pain relief patch was narrower than a band-aid, and she wrapped it around her right index and middle fingers, It asionally hurts. Be sure to touch as little cold as possible, Wilton Edwards instructed, otherwise it will get worse. I know. Daisy Zane didnt go to bed until dawn. Wilton Edwards knew she loved to sleep, and in the past, when she had free time, she could sleep all the time if no one called her. So he let her sleep and reminded Charles Amos not to y the piano. Kevin rk didnte over all day. But in the morning, he sent her a message telling her he was busy today. Then he stayed in theboratory until the afternoon when he finished his work. He took off his whiteb coat and checked his cell phone first. He didnt wait for her reply to his message in the morning, and it was too early. He was in a hurry to enter theboratory, so he didnt get her response. But its already past 5 0clock in the afternoon, and he still hasnt received any news. A shudder suddenly gripped Kevin rks heart. Could it be that after hearing what he saidst night, she was now ignoring him? He hurriedly dialed her number. When he heard that it had connected, he heaved a sigh of relief. When she finally picked up the phone, he felt relieved again. Lucia. Kevins voice was slightly tense. Hmm? Hearing her groggy voice, Kevin hesitated for a moment: Were you sleeping? Yeah. What time is it? Kevin nced at his cell phone and told her the time urately, Youve been sleeping all day? Yeah. Daisy Zane cleared her throat, Whats up? Is something wrong? Nothing, Kevin replied, I sent you a message this morning but got no response, I I didnt see it. Okay, I understand. Kevin said softly, Get up and eat something. Okay. After Daisy agreed, two secondster, she said, Kevin, there was something I forgot to tell you yesterday. Whats up? Felix Baker went to D Continent to buy jadeite. Daisy Zane said, The price of jadeite has skyrocketed. He paid 40% of the price, which is about the same as what he paid in full before. You still have to pay 60%. Kevin chuckled, Afraid Ill spend too much money? Daisy didnt answer him, instead saying directly, The price cant go down. Felix will definitely buy it. You should weigh your options. It might cost more to breach the contract than to buy the jadeite. A breach of contractwouldnt it be bad for my reputation? Kevinughed. Even Third Master is starting to care about his reputation. Daisyughed as well. Yeah. Kevins voice softened, Otherwise, Lucia would misunderstand me. Can I possibly misunderstand your reputation any deeper? After saying this, Daisy continued, Endorsing Spotlight is not important. Kevin chuckled softly, Ill keep that in mind. Okay. After hanging up, Daisy Zaney in bed for a while, before getting up. As she washed and rinsed, she looked at the messages on her phone. In the morning, Hill Dawson had shared a piece of Truro City News. The headline read: [Miles Group ns to recognize their illegitimate daughter.] Daisy clicked on it to read further. The article discussed how the media had gotten wind of the news and had interviewed Johanes Miles outside the Miles Group building. Johanes didnt deny the news about him recognizing his illegitimate daughter. He only said that he would definitely inform everyone when there was news. Daisy didnt continue reading. Instead, she directly called Hill Dawson. After the call went to voicemail, she didnt call back and thought for a while. It wasnt until she finished washing up that Hill Dawson returned her call. Sister Emily. Just ignore the news online. Alright. Hill Dawson replied, When are youing back? In a day or two. Listening to her hoarse voice, Daisy asked, Do you have a cold? Im fine. Hill Dawson replied, The room is a bit dry, and my throat is ufortable. I just need to drink some water, and Ill be fine. Just as Hill Dawson finished saying this, there was a sound of ss breaking on the other end of the line. What happened? Nothing, the maid dropped a ss. Ill go take a look. Lets talkter. Hill Dawson quickly hung up the phone. Daisy flipped through the messages on her phone and saw a file sent by her assistant. After looking at the file for a while, she decided to go to Truro Universitysboratory. So, she booked a flight ticket.. Chapter 131 - 123: A Report Every Day Chapter 131: Chapter 123: A Report Every Day Trantor: 549690339 Whats wrong with Charles? Kevin rk came to take Daisy Zane to the airport, and saw Charles sulking in a corner, his back to them, and ignoring everyone. I didnt buy him a ne ticket, so hes angry. Daisy Zane nced at him and said. You said youd take me when you leave, you dont keep your word. Charles didnt look at them, facing the wall and grumbling angrily. I didnt say which trip. You said youd take me back after the Chinese New Year. I didnt say it was this years Chinese New Year. Daisy Zane tantly bullied the child. How can you bully a child like that? Kevin rk whispered, lifting his hand to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. Might as well bully him while hes still a child. Charles heard their murmurs and turned around, sitting on the carpet with his arms folded. His chubby cheeks puffed up in anger, and his big eyes blinked as if tears were about to fall. Hold it back, or Ill make you. Charles pursed his lips, forcibly holding back his tears. Kevin rk chuckled as he watched from the sidelines. He walked over and picked Charles up, Ille to see you whenever I have some time. Ill teach you to y the piano. Charles didnt say anything, just looking at Daisy Zane. After locking eyes with him for a moment, Daisy Zane took him from Kevin rks embrace and messed up his curly hair: Im going back to film, and I dont have time to take care of you. Its not very safe for you to be with me either. But you promised me. Im sorry. Daisy Zane said patiently, Ill try toe back whenever I have time. Charles hesitated for a while, Really? Really. Daisy Zane said, I wont abandon you. Then you have to answer my phone calls, Charles said. Alright. On the way to the airport, Juan Wright drove while Kevin rk and Daisy Zane sat in the back. Why are you suddenly leaving? It was too sudden C even Kevin rk had to squeeze out some time to send her off today. Something came up, Daisy Zane said, You dont need someone to apany me, youre busy. Juan will go with you. Daisy Zane nced at him. If you miss Charles, Ill bring him over when I visit, Kevin rk said, Usually, Juan can take care of him. No problem, Ill have somepany, Juan Wright said, I like little Charles too. Hes very obedient and easy to take care of. Daisy Zane nced at Juan again, wanting to ask if he was talking about Charles, but in the end, she just said, Well see. Alright. When Daisy Zane returned to Truro City, she stayed in theboratory before joining the drama crew and didnt even go home. So Juan Wright reported to Kevin rk that Lady Zane disappeared upon arriving in Truro City and hadnt returned home for five days and nights. But every day, Kevin rk had video calls with Daisy Zane, and he couldnt tell where she was. However, he never asked since she didnt ignore him, and as long as she was safe, it was fine. It wasnt until the night before she joined the drama crew, at ten oclock, that Daisy Zane returned home and had a good nights sleep. She could go home every day during script readings and training, which were held in Truro City. Juan Wright volunteered to be responsible for driving her daily. In addition, he also reported daily to Kevin rk. When picking up Daisy Zane every day, Juan Wright would send Kevin rk a voice message from inside the car. Third Master, a young boy was beside Lady Zane when she came out today. Third Master, Lady Zane was apanied by a more mature man today. Third Master, there were two women beside Lady Zane today, and I think the look in both their eyes was a bit off. Third Master, today there was a man at the entrance who seemed to be specifically waiting for Lady Zane. He talked to her for almost a minute. Third Master, the man from yesterday is waiting for her again today. Third Master, that guy is back. Arthur North never replied to any of them, but he listened to every message. Third Master knew very well that someone was trying to steal his wife every day. But he couldnt leave the Laboratory temporarily. So he could only anxiously wait. As a result, Michael Jackson witnessed the growing rage that surrounded Third Master as time went on. Once Daisy Zanes Flynn Ninevara identity was revealed, everyone in the drama crew was very enthusiastic about her, greeting her with a smile every day. Most of them had never met her before and didnt know her at all. Upon meeting, it was as if they were long lost friends. Her treatment in this drama crew was worlds apart from the previous one. So every day when she returned, someone would escort her to the entrance. And the man who always waited at the entrance was Liam Davis. Liam Davis was like a rebel by nature. The more he was forbidden from doing something, the more he would do it. The more he was refused, the more he was determined. On the fourth day when he appeared at the entrance again, Daisy couldnt stand it anymore. But before she could take action, Juan Wright took the first step. Juan Wright noticed Liam Davis brightening his eyes when Daisy came out and was about to approach her. Juan stepped forward and blocked him with his hand. Dear fan, said Juan, four days in a row now, youve been disrupting our artists life. If you get any closer, Ill call the police. Liam Davis frowned and looked at Juan Wright, Who are you? I am Lady Zanes bodyguard. I know Daisy. Liam Davis said. Juan Wright smiled faintly, Whether you know her or not is your business, protecting her is my duty. And knowing can it prove that you wont cause any trouble or danger to our artist? Get out of the way! Liam Davis shouted. Sir, please behave. Liam Davis pushed his hand and tried to walk forward, but Juan Wright immediately grabbed his wrist and exerted force. In an instant, Liam Daviss whole arm went numb: You motherfucker! You Sir, dont make a scene. Juan Wright smiled, but his grip on Liam Daviss arm tightened. During their conversation, Daisy had already returned to her car. Liam Davis knew he couldnt beat him, so he gave up, shook off Juan Wrights arm, and left. Juan Wright watched his retreating figure, hooked his lip, took out his cell phone, and started sending a message to Kevin rk to take credit: Third Master, that man is back, I chased him away. He didnt see Lady Zane. About fifty meters away from them, in a parking space, Benjamin Hobson, wearing sunsses, sat on the back seat of the car with the window down, watching it all. Whos that guy? The driver in front replied, Hes Daisys driver. Driver? Can a driver grow up like that? He must be her little lover. Benjamin Hobsonughed, As expected, very promiscuous. This man picks up and drops off Daisy every day. The driver said, Im afraid of being discovered, so I didnt follow their car. I just watched them from this parking space. Well, youve done a good job. Benjamin Hobson said, Keep an eye on them here. When that driver stops picking her up, let me know. Yes, young master. This kind of woman cant live without a man by her side. But we cant be disrespectful either. Wait until shes done ying with this guy before we make a move. Benjamin Hobson said. Yes, sir. Benjamin Hobson closed the car window and chuckled softly. From the Imperial Capital to here, he had to get this girl. It was undeniable that, as daughters of the same father, Daisy was much more beautiful than his cousin. Just looking at her was enough to make ones imagination run wild. Chapter 132 - 124: Heading to D Continent Chapter 132: Chapter 124: Heading to D Continent Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk was busy up until the day that Daisy Zanes new film started shooting, leaving him with some free time. As he had Michael Jackson book him a flight to Truro City and was already packing his things, Michael Jackson suddenly received a phone call. Then he said, Third Master, theres a problem in D Continent. Kevin rk looked at Michael Jackson, whose pair of evil red eyes red back with malice, as if ck clouds were bearing down on them, What happened? Michael Jackson swallowed hard, reporting with tension and stiffness, The Darknight Alliance has been ambushing us on our transportation route. They wont let our things be transported out. Weve had several fights, with no clear winner, but our stuff has been stuck. Kevin rk furrowed his brows. Michael Jackson nced at him, licked his lips and said, The Darknight Alliance ims they have something to discuss. If we refuse to talk, theyll continue to obstruct. Neither of us will be at ease. What do they want to talk about? Kevin rks voice was as cold as an ice de, cutting into ones heart. Not sure yet. Lets go to D Continent. Kevin rk lowered his head and slowly fastened his cufflinks, saying, If they want to talk, lets talk about how the Darknight Alliance should disappear. Having been with Kevin rk for so long, Michael Jackson was still frightened, his face turning paler. Yes, Ill arrange it right away. After Michael Jackson left, Kevin rk looked at the suitcase beside him, gritted his teeth, and sent Daisy Zane a message: [Something came up, Ill be a few dayste to Truro City] Daisy Zane was filming and didnt respond to him. Benjamin Hobson ordered the driver to watch the training location for more than half a month, but Juan Wright had been there every day, not giving them any chance to approach. So he followed her to the film set, staying at the hotel where Daisy Zane was lodged. He spent his days idling and mingling, and while coveting Daisy Zane, he was never short of women around him. The shooting location for Daisy Zanes project was rather far from the city center. Sometimes, it would be more convenient to be close by for night shoots, so she decided to stay in a nearby hotel. She would only go back to Evesting Pce asionally when she had fewer scenes. After joining the film set, Daisy Zane didnt have Juan Wright follow her and resumed using her previous driver. Naomi Nelson, is something bothering you? Daisy Zane asked while waiting for her next scene, noticing Naomi Nelson lost in thought. Huh? Daisy, what did you say? Naomi Nelson suddenly came to her senses, Do you want some water? Are you cold? Im fine. Daisy Zane looked at her weary expression and swollen eyes, asking again, Is there something going on with you? I, I, I Naomi Nelsons gaze drifted off for a moment before saying, Im okay. I just didnt sleep wellst night. Daisy Zane didnt inquire further, seeing she didnt want to talk about it. She looked at her for a while and said, If youre tired, go back and rest for a while. Theres not much else to do here. No, I dont need to. Naomi Nelson replied, Im fine, Im not tired. It wont affect my work. Daisy Zane didnt say anything, her gaze falling on Naomi Nelsons hands. After a moment of silence, she asked, You havent proposed yet? What? The proposal ring. Daisy Zane remembered clearly that the ring almost snatched away by the makeup artist was a mens ring. Naomi Nelson had bought a mens ring, intending to propose. Naomi Nelson fiddled with her fingers, finally speaking after a long silence, gave it to him, but he didnt ept it. Daisy Zane looked at her and didnt see the look of heartbreak on her face. Instead, she saw a determination that wouldnt admit defeat. Seeing Daisy Zanes curious gaze, Naomi Nelson thought for a moment and said, We used to be neighbors, and hes three years older than me. Ive always liked him. Hes good-looking and great at his studies. When we were young, he would help beat up the boys who bullied me. He was the provincial champion during the college entrance exam. In my mind, hes always been a hero. Daisy Zane was infected by her emotions, smiling along with her. When I started college, I confessed my feelings to him. Thats when I realized he had always liked me too, just waiting for me to grow up. Naomi Nelson cupped her face, her eyes sparkling, So we started dating. Daisy, do you know? Hes really a hero. Naomi Nelson scooted closer to Daisy Zane, her eyes filled with admiration, During school, he became a firefighter. He saved many people. Daisy Zane looked down at her, listening to her speak. Howeverst year during the rescue, he was injured. Anisa Cooper lowered her eyes, touching Daisy Zanes clothes with her fingers, Arge area of burns, his left leg was left with a disability. We originally agreed that we would get married after I graduated but now he wont even ept my ring. Hes afraid of dragging you down. Daisy Zane said. But how could he drag me down? Anisa Cooper said, He just looks a bit different from before. But hes still very impressive. He studiedputer science in college and can easily support both of us. Besides, I would be a heros family member, how cool would that be? Looking at Anisa Cooper, who was smiling like the sun, Daisy Zane nodded with a smile, Yes, very cool. Right? I hope I can toast to the hero and his family member soon. Daisy Zane said softly. Anisa Cooper looked at her andughed, Sister Lucia, youre so kind. Today, work ended early, and Daisy Zane returned to Evesting Pce. As soon as she opened the room door and before stepping in, she received a call from Robinson Scott. Brother Nine, Damian Brown has been arrested in D Continent. Daisy Zanes face changed for a moment, and immediately became fierce: Who arrested him? That jadeite-dealing b*stard. Robinson Scott said, I tried to rescue him with a team twice but failed. This time, Im afraid the bnce will be broken. Daisy Zane understood Robinson Scotts meaning. In D Continent, the Darknight Alliance and the jadeite-dealing group had been counterbncing each other for many years. Although the struggle was never-ending, both parties had epted this bnced state. Now that such a bigmotion had started, it seemed that it wouldnt stop until one side was swallowed up. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, her expression arrogant and disdainful, Wait for me, Ille over. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane called the director to ask for a three-day leave, then informed Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper. Then she went directly to the airport. After flying for more than seven hours andnding in D Continent, Daisy Zane was picked up by James Collins as soon as she left the airport. Youre here too? Daisy Zane looked at James Collins pink hair and asked. Logan and Luke sent me as a representative to help out, James Collins smiled, Sister, doesnt my new hairstyle look handsome? Daisy Zane stared at his pink hair and remained silent in silence. Seeing no response from Daisy Zane, James Collins suddenly stepped on the brakes and looked at her, Doesnt it look good? When he turned his head, Daisy Zane could see his peach blossom eyes, and only then did she feel somewhat appeased. However, she still said expressionlessly, It looks just like a pink tufted doll. James Collins: Where did you learn this bizarre aesthetic? Daisy Zane asked, puzzled. Doesnt it look good? Daisy Zane was a little afraid that he would keep asking insistently, so she moved her eyes away from his head and endured the humiliation by saying, Its pretty good. These three words might have required all her acting skills in her life. Hearing Daisy Zane praise him, James Collins finally started the car again and happily asked, Sister, how do you n to deal with this situation? Daisy Zane looked at the gradually brightening sky outside and said, Tonight, sneak in with me and get a feel of their internal structure andyout. James Collins mouth hooked up, his interest piqued, and excitement filled his eyes, No problem.. Chapter 133 - 125: Third Master is in Danger Chapter 133: Chapter 125: Third Master is in Danger Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane went to sleep once she arrived at the Darknight Alliance. She slept until it was dark. There was a one-hour time difference between D Continent and the domestic area. At 11 0clock in the night, Daisy Zane took James Collins and prepared to leave. Brother Nine, are you really not taking me with you? Robinson Scott asked. The Darknight Alliance is yours; you can bring them along. You can take them to provide support outside. Daisy Zane casually said while putting on her ck finger gloves, James Collins and I will go in first to check the situation. If we need, we will call you. Robinson Scott smiled: Well y it by ear. Mmm. Daisy Zane checked her gun, then tucked it behind her back, looking at Robinson Scott, her eyes filled with mischief, Since we have to break the bnce, it can only be us who dominate them. Of course, Robinson Scott said. Lets go, Daisy Zane flicked her earpiece, wait for the message. Mmm, safety first. At 12:30 PM, Kevin rk was listening to the opera from the phonograph and drinking tea. Third Master, are you not going to sleep yet? Michael Jackson asked. Kevin rk nced at the time again and said, Its almost been three days. I feel someone wille tonight. Michael Jackson immediately understood: Nameless? Kevin rk raised an eyebrow: Emma rk hase twice with her people but didnt manage to rescue anyone. Its time for Nameless to show up. Third Master has only been defending and not attacking these days, waiting for him, Michael Jackson said. Mmm. Kevin rks fingertips tapped on the table, Darknight Alliance must be destroyed, but we also need to recruit talents. Can he sneak in? If he doesnt even have the ability to sneak in, why would I want him? To waste food? Michael Jackson stood by and stopped talking, knowing that his master had calcted everything and wanted to catch the fish in the vat. As long as the person was captured, his master would naturally have various methods to tame and use them. As Michael Jackson thought about this, he heard the opera on the phonograph singing The Beauty Case. It was singing: At the age of thirty-two, Qin Xianglian sued the current groom, deceiving the king, hiding from the emperor, regretting the marriage and inviting a man to her bed, killing her wife and losing her conscience He noticed that Kevin rk suddenly turned his head to look at the phonograph, paused for two seconds, and then yanked out the phonographs power cord. Moreover, he seemed to feel the murderous intent in Kevin rks action when he pulled out the power cord. On Daisy Zanes side, she and James Collins had already found Damian Brown. The manor wasrge, but its construction was based on the mysterious principles of escaping disaster. After Daisy Zane entered, she quickly figured out the rules, so she didnt have to spend much effort to find Damian Browns location. Furthermore, there were only five people guarding that ce. Daisy Zane and James Collins quickly and silently knocked them out. Big Boss. Damians hand was handcuffed. Daisy Zane looked Damian up and down: Are you injured? Did they hit you? No. They just kept me locked up. Damian said, There were never many people watching me. I suspect Theyre waiting for me, Daisy Zane said. Yes. I guessed it, Daisy Zane said, After so many days, they have the advantage but only defend and not attack, there must be a conspiracy. James Collins guarded the door: Sister, if thats the case, lets blow this ce up. Weve alreadye, join forces with Sister Emma and finish them. Daisy Zanes upper face was covered by the hood of her jumpsuit while her lower face was masked. She used a card to open the handcuffs, and a lightugh came from under the mask: Weve alreadye. Yeah, James Collins said, although they must be prepared, we have you. Daisy Zane looked at Damian Brown, Are you okay? Im fine. Just as Damians words fell, the room suddenly plunged into darkness. Someone had cut off the power supply for the entire building. The three were engulfed in darkness and could only rely on their hearing. Daisy Zane helped Damian up and walked towards the door: Samuel Gray, help her. James Collins took the person from her hand. If anything happenster, just go on without me. Daisy Zane stared into the darkness with her sharp eyes, Even if I cant get out, I have my own arrangements. Follow themand. Alright. Damian and James agreed simultaneously; they both had great faith in Daisy Zane. The three moved forward in the dark. The ce where people were detained was underground, and there was no light source once the power was cut off. But Daisy Zane had excellent senses and hearing, so she was not hindered. As a result, the speed of the three walking out was pretty fast. However, as they approached the staircase, she heard very light breathing. She stopped James and Damian briefly, then quickly moved forward herself. Before the other party could react, she made her move. Her speed was very fast, carrying a strong wind. She threw a punch directly at the person around the corner of the stairs. The person was forced to step back a couple of steps. Then the people behind him immediately stepped forward and exchanged blows with Daisy Zane. However, after just two moves, Daisy Zane could sense that this person was strong. So, she became even more serious. Meanwhile, James and Damian also started fighting with others. In the darkness, Daisy Zane couldnt tell who was winning and had no time to listen. However, James was very strong, which eased some of her concerns. As long as she kept this person upied, the other two could escape without any problem. It was just a matter of time. Daisy executed a spinning kick, but the opponent raised their hand to block. Turning their hand to grab her leg, Daisy quickly dodged the move. However, the gun at her waist was taken away. She touched her waist, then clenched her fists, fighting even fiercer. Almost every blow was aimed at taking the opponents life. But the opponent was too powerful. Within ten minutes, Daisy lost the upper hand. Moreover, she took two hits to her ribs. The opponent didnt hold back, and although she buffered the power as much as possible, the strikes werent light. She threw another punch at her opponent, but he grabbed her arm in response, twisting it behind her back and bending her waist. Daisy bent her waist and reached for the hand on her shoulder with her other hand. However, the opponent was too strong, so she couldnt budge at all. After struggling for a bit, she still couldnt break free. Nameless. Admit defeat. This voice should have been familiar, but this tone was strange. It was contemptuous, arrogant, and filled with the disdain of someone in power. Daisy didnt pay much attention, so she didnt recognize the voice. Without thinking, she cursed back, Fuck off! Suddenly, the person behind her fell silent for two seconds. Then, in a voice filled with disbelief, with a hint of probing and trembling, he said, Daisy? Daisy was stunned for a moment, her body visibly stiffened. After two seconds, she eximed, Kevin rk?! Kevin rk hesitated for a moment before immediately releasing her. He helped her up: Lucia, Daisy, youhow Daisy didnt say a word, but it could be felt through the darkness that she was not in a good state right now. Michael Jackson, call them off! Kevin rk yelled, Restore the power. James heard the name Michael Jackson first before recognizing Kevin rks voice. However, he didnt stop fighting. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and kicked the two men beside him, causing them to fall. Michael Jackson, clearly unaware of what had happened, could only follow orders and stop the fight. Then, he ordered someone to restore the power upstairs. Daisy, Im sorry. I where are your injuries? Kevin rks hand had never been this cold before. Holding Daisys fingertips, his hands trembled slightly. His head had never been so numb and his tongue was knotted. Chapter 134 - 126: What the Heck is Going On? Chapter 134: Chapter 126: What the Heck is Going On? Trantor: 549690339 When themp light came on again, Daisy Zane had already removed her hat, and was taking off her mask. Everyone was momentarily blinded by the light. But Kevin rk blinked and forced his eyes open, looking at Daisy Zane to see where she was hurt: Lucia, where are you injured? Daisy Zane held the mask at her fingertips, adjusted to the light, and slowly raised her eyes to look at him. That icy and extremely hostile gaze made Kevin rks back break out in a cold sweat in an instant: Lucia, Daisy. Daisy Zane looked at him, the anger in her heart surging up bit by bit. She was worried about him having to pay that 60% fee, sending people here to check, and finally causing such a mess. Yet, it turned out that this money would eventually end up in his own pocket. She had been wondering, always being fine, why the jadeite suddenly went up in price. It turned out that he was afraid of losing himself and was deliberately sabotaging Felix Baker. A hint of fire seemed to burn in Daisy Zanes eyes. And she was worried that someone would do something to him. With this power and skill, the rk Family protected him in the Imperial Capital, and he guarded Ryan Easton in F Continent. And here, he could monopolize the entire D Continents jadeite, trap the Darknight n, and capture Damian Brown. Who could do anything to him? Daisy Zanes temples throbbed in pain. But Kevin rk didnt dare to breathe heavily as he looked at Daisy Zane. Michael Jackson wasnt much better. After adjusting to the light, he opened his eyes to see Daisy Zane. Then he hesitated for two seconds, thinking he must be hallucinating, so he closed his eyes and reopened them again. As a result, he still saw Daisy Zane. Then he suddenly felt weak in his legs and leaned against the wall nearby. Leaning against the wall, he took a few breaths and felt as if someone was watching him. So he looked up. He saw James Collins in a baseball cap, his peach blossom eyes smiling, Brother Michael, long time no see. Damian Brown nced at him. Michael Jackson choked on his own saliva, coughing for a while without saying a word. It was apparent that the shock had not been light Perhaps he felt that he had fallen into some terrible nightmare. Truly, he could ept any identity of Daisy Zane. However, her connection with the Darknight Alliance was really hard for him to ept. At least not for a while. Lucia Kevin rk raised his hand to help tuck her stray hair behind her ear, but Daisy Zane evaded him. She looked at Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson didnt know how he received her message, but as he met her gaze, he straightened up and left with his people. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk again. She had never seen Kevin rks lips so pale before, almost white. Seeing her pulling at the fingerless gloves on her hand, Kevin rk gulped with difficulty, That Luciahiss Daisy Zane didnt let him finish, her fist clenched and jabbed at his abdomen. Kevin rk immediately bent over from the pain, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. With one hand on his abdomen and one sping Daisy Zanes arm, he couldnt straighten his back. Watching this, James Collins and Damian Brown shuddered, feeling that Daisy Zane was really going all out. James Collins reacted first, grabbing Damian Brown and quickly going upstairs. After they left, Damian Brown couldnt help but ask, The Big Boss and that person James Collins nced at her and lowered his voice, If nothing goes wrong, that should be my future brother-inw. Damian Brown gasped, wondering if that was considered a domestic violence scene. She seemed to have seen something she shouldnt have. In the underground room, Daisy Zanes arm was grabbed by Kevin rk as he used her for support to stand up. After a while, Kevin rk stood up, but notpletely straight. With his abdomen slightly curled, he looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy gazed back at him, noticing the fine sweat on his forehead and whispered, Does it hurt? Kevin rk chuckled, Did you vent your anger? Daisy stared at him silently. Then want to go a couple more rounds? Kevin suggested. Daisy looked at him for a while, then lowered her gaze and frowned slightly. What a mess this was. Kevin had signed a contract with Felix Baker to get her the endorsement for Spotlight. But the contract was basically useless in terms of money. It didnt make much of a difference. Felix didnt pay Less, and Kevin didnt make less money. In the end, it was all to her advantage; she got the endorsement and even held 46% of the shares in Spotlight. Kevin looked at her, noticing that she was lost in thought, and he groaned while holding his abdomen. Daisy instinctively supported him. Kevin took the opportunity to press his head against her shoulder and wrapped an arm around her waist, Lucia, it hurts so bad. Pretending. Daisy said coldly, Its been a while, the pain must have subsided by now. It was true that Daisy had hit him hard, but it didnt really hurt him; it just caused some momentary pain. Kevin chuckled softly, Why dont you rest here tonight? Whats the matter? Want to confine me? So you can make me submit to you. I wouldnt dare. Kevin said gently, Ill only obey Lucia. Whatever Lucia tells me to do, Ill do. Daisy snorted withughter, Werent you just hitting me? Kevin flinched inwardly, straightened up, and looked at her, Lucia, I Im tired. Daisy cut him off. Kevin was choked, Ill go arrange a room for you right now. Both James Collins and Damian Brown had settled down, and Daisy informed Robinson Scott to take their people back. Kevin gave up his bedchamber for Daisy. While she was taking a bath, Kevin went to find some medicine. Michael Jackson followed Kevin with a somewhat stiff expression, Third Master, is Lady Zane really Nameless? Kevin nced at the medicine in his hand, then looked at Michael, Who else could be that skilled? Michael fell silent, indeed she was very skilled. And the ability to sneak in here undetected, it could be no one else. Kevins strength was extraordinary and indescribable, and the fact that Daisy couldst nearly ten minutes against him with her bare hands alone was also beyond ordinary. If it werent for Kevins presence at the manor, the situation in D Continent might have changed drastically due to her alone tonight. However, when a strong person meets an even stronger one, its simply a matter of bad luck. But Michael looked at Kevin, it seemed that this stronger person was afraid of his wife. It appeared that their seemingly sure-win game was actually a total loss. So the person who broke Thomas Firways ribs at Birch Manor was that Lady Zane? Michael suddenly remembered. Kevins hand, holding the medicine, paused. Ever since he found out that Nameless was Daisy, he had been preupied with fear all night. The joy of seeing her return after a long absence was overshadowed by terror. He hadnt thought much about anything else. No wonder he felt something familiar about her handwriting when she signed her autograph at the airport entrance that day. Wasnt it the same handwriting found on the goods at Birch Manor? But something didnt seem quite right Kevin was lost in thought, and so was Michael. He was thinking about Thomas Firway. He wondered if Thomas would burst into tears if he knew that the person he had beenining about and despising was none other than Nameless, the one who had beaten him to the point where he couldnt even get out of bed.. Chapter 135 - 127: Justifiable Words and Actions Chapter 135: Chapter 127: Justifiable Words and Actions Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane took a shower and called Robinson Scott afterward. As she had expected, Robinson was calling to gossip after talking to James Collins. Daisy, whats going on! James said that the b*stard who messed with the jadeite is is Kevin rk! Mhm. Daisy Zane was in the bathroom, wearing a half-length, belly-baring vest. Looking at the bruised swellings on her ribs in the mirror, she said softly, That fairy. Olivia! Robinson Scott eximed excitedly, Doesnt that mean that the entire D Continents mines now belong to you? Darknight n has a gold mine, and Kevin rk has jadeite. Darknight n is yours, and the jadeite is Kevin rks, so how does it belong to me? Darknight is your natal home, and Kevin rk is your husbands family, Robinson Scott said. Of course, it belongs to you. Daisy Zane: . Really, Im a good sport and I dont hold grudges. I can be peaceful with him in the future for your sake. Who told me that Kevin rk is extremely dangerous and should not be approached? How can it be the same? Robinson Scott replied, Isnt he the owner of a mine now? So, for the mines sake, youre telling me to get married? Daisy Zane asked, Wheres your conscience? Conscience? I fed it to Samuel Gray. Wait until he bites you. Im hanging up. Im going to sleep now. After hanging up, Daisy Zane took another look at her left arm in the mirror, saw it was slightly red and seemed as if something was about to surface. She grabbed a nearby towel, turned the water to the cold side, wetted the towel, and applied it to her left arm. After doing this several times, the thing on her arm gradually disappeared. Afterward, she also applied the cold towel to the bruises on her ribs. While applying the towel, she thought about when she hit Kevin rk. She was only focused on venting her frustration on Damian Brown. She should have hit him more, to get her share of revenge too. After applying the towel to her ribs, she washed the towel, then went straight out. Just after leaving the restroom and walking two steps, she saw Kevin rk entering the room through the door. The room was very spacious, and there were very few things. Though there was some distance between them, there was no obstruction at all. Daisy Zanes belly-baring vest had very thin shoulder straps, and the front was slightly low-cut. She was wearing shorts on her lower half, revealing two dazzling long legs. And just like that, she caught Kevin rks eye. Kevin rks eyes were blinded by the dazzling sight and were stung by the three scars from her shoulder to her corbone. He suddenly took a step back, bumping into the door behind him. I I was knocking but nobody answered Kevin rks eyes lingered on the bruises on her shoulders before quickly averting his gaze. However, when he looked down, he saw the bruises on her ribs and immediately furrowed his brows, forgetting the embarrassment. How did it get so severe? Daisy Zane walked a few steps, picked up her sleeping robe from beside the bed, and put it on with her back turned to him. Kevin rk saw the red crown tattoo on her left shoulder again, which looked like a zing fire against her snowy white skin He swallowed, clutched the medical kit in his hand, and forced himself to look away. Daisy Zane fastened the belt, turned around, and said softly, Dont you know that you were the one who did it? I Kevin rk hesitated for two seconds, entered the room, and held Daisy Zane in his arms, Lucia, Im sorry. Daisy Zane furrowed her brows; she was the one who was hit, so why did he seem pitiable? Lucia Kevin rk stroked her head, Please hit me a few more times. Daisy Zane took a gentle breath, not smelling the scent of Eaglewood on him. She stayed silent for two seconds and said, I dont feel like wasting the effort Youre hurting my injury. Kevin rk hurriedly let her go and took a step back. Only then did Daisy Zane notice that his eyes were red, and even a little moist. She suddenly paused, feeling as if something had struck her heart. Kevin rk reached out to check the wound but stopped short, retracting his hand before touching her. He held the medical kit in one hand, opened it with the other and showed it to Daisy Zane, This is for disinfection. After disinfecting, apply these two for swelling and pain relief. Then, apply this patch. Its also for swelling and pain relief, and when used together, it works better. Daisy Zane looked down at the medical kit for a moment and said, Kevin rk, theres something I have to tell you. What? Its very dangerous to be around me. Daisy Zane looked up at him, at his reddened eyes, Theres a risk to your life. Lifedangeryou meanLucia would beat me? Kevin rk joked. Daisy Zaneughed lightly at him, then said seriously, I mean someone wants to hurt you. Kevin rk also became a little more serious, looking at her and asked after a moment, Because of you? Yes. The person behind 319? Kevin rk guessed. Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered slightly, Yes. Kevin rk looked at her and said after a two-second silence, Lucia. First, Im not afraid of him. I have the strength and power not to be afraid of him. Secondly, he cant defeat me. I mean both in terms of physical strength and intelligence, including his conspiracies and tricks. Lastly, I wish he would gift himself to me. I truly wish. It would save me a lot of trouble. Daisy Zane looked up at him, a hint of admiration rising in her heart. No one had such confidence when facing that person. This confidence seemed toe from an innate sense of suppression. Even Daisy Zane herself could only think of the best oue as mutual destruction, taking that person to hell with her. But Kevin rk had it, and she believed him wholeheartedly. At the same time, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. This familiarity made her want to get closer. So, Lucia, to me, this is nothing at all. Since she had mentioned it, Kevin rk clearly understood what she was thinking. She feared getting him involved. Daisy Zane hooked her lip, looking down at the medicine box he was still holding in his hand, I dont want to apply the medicine. Put some on, itll heal faster. Kevin rks voice was like coaxing a child, Be good, it will hurt less. Daisy Zane looked up at him, her eyes shining, and somewhat seductive, Will Third Master help me apply it? Kevin rks pupils visibly constricted, and his face froze for a moment. Fortunately, his mind was still clear, not blinded by her beauty. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with tenderness, half-joking, and half-doting, Itsnot very convenient for me, right? Thats true Daisy Zane nodded, Being alone together, the name isnt justified. Kevin rk gently raised his eyebrows, just about to speak when the cor of his shirt was suddenly grabbed. He was pulled by the cor and bent over. Before he could react, Daisy Zane suddenly moved closer the next second and a soft touch pressed against his lips. At that moment, Kevin rks head felt as if something had exploded. Exploding into a riot of colors before his eyes and ringing in his ears. Daisy Zanes hand, gripping his shirt cor, was clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. After pressing her lips against his for a while, she released his cor and backed away half a step. Kevin rk looked at her in a daze, Luc, Lucia Daisy Zane, seemingly as if nothing had just happened, had a calm expression, of course, ignoring her ears that were red all the way to the roots, Ive given you the identity of a boyfriend As she spoke, she took another step forward, getting closer to Kevin rk, tilting her head up and leaning in, Now its justified.. Chapter 136 - 128: The Second Fool Chapter 136: Chapter 128: The Second Fool Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk was caught off guard by Daisy Zanes flirtation. Looking down at her, he fixated on her eyes, her nose tip, and her lips. The suppressed feelings of affection, desire, and love that had been buried deep within him suddenly ignited like a fire, soaring uncontrobly. He closed the medicine box and tossed it aside onto a chair. Lucia His voice was deep and hoarse, maically making ones ears tingle, do you know the consequences of teasing? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, unaware of the impending danger, provocatively challenged, What? Looking at her, Kevin rk lightly chuckled and said, Try it and youll see. Daisy Zane felt a burn under his gaze, and the next second, she was pulled into his embrace. One of his arms wrapped around her slender waist, while the other hand gently cupped her chin. He forced her to open her mouth slightly, then went in for a kiss. It was assertive, yet gentle. Daisy Zane was leaning on the bedside, her robe untied and falling open on her left side to reveal a purple bruise on her lower left rib. Kevin rk sat in the chair beside the bed, carefully applying medicine on her. With her eyes cast down, Daisy Zane stared at Kevin rks hand, lost in thought. Her lips were very red, and slightly swollen upon closer inspection. Moreover, her tongue was numb. Daisy Zane watched as Kevin rk carefully applied the medicine, as though he was afraid of hurting her. This was in stark contrast to his behavior just moments before. She had grown ustomed to his gentleness, forgetting that this man was not the benevolent type after all; he was assertive, domineering, and ruthless. Robinson Scott was right, he was a fairy. A fairy capable of revealing his true form. Lost in thought, Daisy Zane frowned, looking at the bed she was leaning against. How had she gotten here? Ah. He had carried her here. And it seemed that he had just been kissing her here a moment ago. Daisy Zane: . Lucia? Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked at him. Her eyes seemed to be misted over with ayer of warmth, shining brightly under the room light. The previous distance between them had faded a little, reced with a hint of bewilderment. Although she was still striking, her phoenix-like eyes seemed more enticing now. What is it? How did you injure your shoulder? It doesnt seem to be a fresh wound when I saw it. My shoulder? Daisy Zane thought for a moment, It was bruised by a crutch. Probably need to put on some medicine as well. No, Daisy Zane tied her robe, Why? Didnt you take enough advantage of Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, How is it taking advantage when I did everything above board? Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk chuckled, Are you sure you dont want to apply medicine? Alright. Kevin rk packed the medicine box up, Go to sleep. Its veryte. In a few hours, day will break. Mm, Daisy Zane murmured. Ben rk stood up, cing the drug box on the bedside table. Then he leaned over, close to Daisy Zane, and said, One more kiss. Arent we done? Her tone of voice was very much like she was about to give him a beating. Kevin rk started tough, whispering, One kiss, then I will go to sleep too. Cant sleep without a kiss from me? Mm-hm. Kevin rk answered with a pitiful look in his eyes, Would you bear to let your boyfriend suffer from insomnia? Daisy Zane took a deep breath. Shouldnt she embark on a two-year spiritual journey to put this impish being in check? Seeing her remain still, Kevin rk pointed to his cheek, Just one. Kiss here. Daisy Zane obliged and kissed his cheek: Is this enough? Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, held the back of her head and returned the kiss on her lips, Thats enough. Daisy Zane pursed her lips, looking as though she was about to bite back. Kevin rk smiled again and yfully pinched her blushing ear, Alright, go to sleep. Im leaving. Watching him leave the room, Daisy Zane leaned against the bed for a while before making herselffortable under the quilt. After a moment, she rolled onto her side and chuckled softly. Then, she pulled the Quilt over her head and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Kevin rk, in another room and fresh out of the shower, remained standing by the window. His left hand resting behind him, while his right twirled an eaglewood bracelet. Looking out over the dark night, his eyes curved into a smile. A seemingly ludicrous, goofy smile graced his lips. Not knowing how to calm himself down, Kevin rk continued fiddling with the bracelet. Using hisposed exterior to hide his fluttering heart, he made an effort not to appear like an infatuated teenager. However, the next morning, when Michael Jackson saw Kevin rk, he had a good scare. When Michael Jackson handed Kevin rk some paperwork to sign, Kevin rk was all smiles sitting alone in his office, in front of a pile of files, he wasughing. Moreover, he even shared a friendly chat with Michael Jackson. After leaving Kevin rks office, Michael Jackson called his mother and gave her all his bank cards along with the passwords. He suspected Kevins ns of getting rid of him. Showing him kindness before Michaels predicted downfall. Other than this possibility, Michael Jackson could not think of any other reason for the unsettlingly friendly treatment. As a result, Michael Jackson spent the rest of the day on edge, unable to finish his lunch. Not just Michael Jackson, even James Collins thought that Kevin rk was being unusually friendly towards him that day and began to suspect a conspiracy. You what are you nning? James Collins asked warily, Why are you smiling? Listening to their conversation, Damian Brown lifted his head from a pile of snacks, his left cheek stuffed full, showing a vignt expression. Did Iugh? Kevin rk asked while sipping his tea. Didnt you? James Collins looked at him and then reached towards the snacks in Damian Browns hand. Before he could even touch the snack, Damian Brown caught his wrist, What do you want? Why are you being defensive about your food? Damian Brown red at him. Okay okay, its yours, all yours. Be careful not to overeat or no one will want you. James Collins withdrew his hand and took a sip of his tea as he asked, Wheres my sister? Why hasnt she woken up yet? Again, Kevin rk broke into a smile. Whats the matter with you? Why are youughing again? James Collins felt a chill run down his spine. He wondered when Kevin rk everughed in his presence. Is there some D Continent custom that requires smiling? Kevin rk nced at him, stood up and said, Im going to check on Lucia. You two carry on. James Collins watched as he left, utterly bemused. Turning to Damian Brown, he said, Do you think hes possessed? Hes acting so oddly. Damian Brown licked the cream from his lips, looked at James Collins, took another cream-filled bite and said, Idiot. You think so too, James Collins responded, I also think hes behaving like an idiot. If he continues like this, my sister wont like him. Damian Brown: I was saying youre the idiot. Cant you see hes over the moon? Over the moon, what does he have to be happy about? James Collins nced at her, Youre calling me an idiot, but Im no idiot, my IQ is 180! Did you forget to multiply by zero? You, you youre bullying me again, Ill go tell my sister. Damian Brown nced at him and took anotherrge bite of cream: Youre over twenty and still you go tell on others.. Chapter 137 - 129 Chapter 137: Chapter 129 Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane only took three days off, so she didnt involve herself with everything happening on the D Continent, and hurriedly flew back to Truro City. Kevin rk left Michael Jackson on the D Continent to assist the Darknight Alliance with their matters. It was practically as though he asked him to take orders from the Darknight Alliance. After returning to Truro City, Daisy Zane directly went to the drama set. There wasnt much for Kevin rk to take care of recently, so he naturally followed along as well. While Daisy Zane was filming, Kevin rk would sit in his Nanny Car, remotely dealing with some matters using hisputer. During long waits or meal times, Daisy Zane would go back to the Nanny Car to keep himpany for a while. Sister Lucia, you can sleep for a while after lunch. Anisa Cooper suggested while opening a food box, Your afternoon scene starts around three oclock. Mhm. Daisy Zane was still wearing her costume, a very simple white inner garment. Her hair was tied high up in a ponytail, and her makeup was minimal. She gave off a female generals aura. The weather is still very cold, Daisy Zanes hands were numb from the cold and she could only watch Anisa Cooper carefully cing each dish in the food box, unable to eat. Kevin rk also extended his hands into the hand warmer to warm her hands. Anisa Cooper nced at them,ughed softly and then sat aside, reading something on her phone. She lightly browsed through her messages, suddenly expressing her confusion. Daisy Zane asked her, Whats the matter? Sister Emily didnt reply to my message. Anisa Cooper refreshed her messages again but still nothing, Its been almost five hours without a reply. Sister Emily has been acting a bit strange recently. Even if Emily Hill wasnt on set, she would call Daisy Zane every two days to check in. It seems like she has been making fewer calls recently. Just call her and ask. Okay. As Anisa Cooper agreed, her phone screen suddenly changed. A phone call came in but the phone only lightly vibrates once before Anisa Cooper swiftly pressed the volume button to mute the iing call. She quickly flipped the phone over, Sister Lucia, I need to make a call. Okay. Once the cars door closed, Kevin rk shifted his gaze back to Daisy Zane, Sheseems to have some issues. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, What kind of issues? Shes hiding something. said Kevin rk, This matter might be rted to you. Recently, shes been somewhat distracted. When she is distracted, she would subconsciously look at you, and her eyes seem off. Daisy Zane gave a light smile, So do you think keeping her close would bring danger? Its hard to predict ones heart. Kevin rk lightly grasped her fingers, You two get along well, and you treat her well, there is no personal enmity between you two. If she really harbours ill intentions towards you, the biggest possibility is that shes been influenced and instigated by someone. Continue. Daisy prompted. Kevin rk gave augh, Recing the assistant is a stopgap measure, not a permanent solution. Since you like her, its better to see if she chooses you or the instigator, and we can draw out the puppet master behind the scene. Am I right, Sister Lucia? Mhm. Daisy responded, Nothing can escape Third Masters eyes. Kevin rk gave another smile, then said earnestly, Lucia, I promised you. I wont stop your decisions. But remember, you also promised me. Always prioritize your own safety. Daisy Zane looked at him, after a second, lightly hooking his fingers with her own. I know my limits. Good. Just as his voice fell, there was an iing call on Kevin rks phone. He looked at the screen out of the corner of his eye- it was William Lane. He pressed to receive the call and switched it to speakerphone. Then put his hand back into the hand warmer, grabbing Daisy Zanes hand. Arthur, are you in the Imperial Capital? A very clear and bright male voice spoke, with a very pure Imperial ent. Daisy Zane looked subconsciously at his phone upon hearing the voice. The caller ID disyed William Lane. No, whats wrong? Howe youre not there again? William Lanemented. Are you back in the Imperial Capital? No. Why would I need you if I go back? Kevin rk: Whats the matter? SighMy sister got into a fight. By the tone of his voice, one could imagine how helpless William Lane must be feeling right now, She is at the police station. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. Is she all right? Shes fine. I heard she beat up three men pretty badly. William Lane said, Shes afraid that our parents will punish her if they find out, so she called me. William Lanes own people are not in the country. These members of the Lane Family staying domestically If anything were to be settled at the police station, within 30 minutes the Lane couple would know every clear detail. So, its best for the rk family to handle this matter. Let her stay in there for a few more days. Its not your sister, so you dont care, do you? Of course I dont care. Kevin rk said heartlessly, Its you who dotes on her so much that shes grown up so spoilt. Daisy Zanes right hand stretched out, picking up her chopsticks to eat. She nced at him as he spoke. You unfeeling man. William Lane said, upset, Wasnt it you who held her up when she was little, praising her for being beautiful? Kevin rk picked up the chopsticks and helped Daisy Zane with her food: I think your memory is failing you. I only ever held L Campbell, Ive barely even seen your younger sister. You William Lane said, If I had known you would be like this, I wouldnt have let you hold L either. Kevin rk no longer argued with him, saying, You should let Enamel Canon know. All right, I can only turn to him if youre not around. William Lane said, Cant count on you when needed. Kevin rk immediately hung up his call. Daisy Zane picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and began to eat it slowly, William Lane? Kevin rks expression paused for a moment: Yes. The eldest daughter of the Lane Family is called Charlotte Lane? Daisy Zane had heard earlier. Kevin said he had held L but had never held the youngest one. Yes. And the youngest one? Evelyn Lane. After having a few mouthfuls of food, Daisy Zane asked: Is William Lane often not in Imperial Capital? Kevin rk nced at her: He is usually on the F Continent. Hees back asionally. Daisy Zane nodded but said no more. The Lane Family is really interesting. Such arge family business, Old Master Lane is not in the Imperial Capital. The eldest young master of the Lane Family is also not in the Imperial Capital. Daisy. Kevin rk suddenly called her name. Daisy Zane looked up at him. Kevin rk, holding her hand intently, said: Daisy, my family really is very wealthy. Daisy Zane blinked. Whats going on, showing off his wealth? Does he want to be beaten up? Kevin rk continued on: And at the rks There wont be any trouble from younger sisters-inw. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk then contemted a bit and said: If you like the Doomsday Hotel, we can build one. It will be no different from theirs, and we can even build it to your liking. Daisy Zane: I am just simply curious, just asking. Oh. Welllm also just simply stating. Kevin rk looked at her while a smile on his face and said, Arent you curious about our family? Feel free to ask. Daisy Zane: . Chapter 138 - 130: So Miserable Chapter 138: Chapter 130: So Miserable Trantor: 549690339 The wind in Truro City was damp and cold. Anisa Cooper found a secluded ce to take the phone call, her nails scratching at the bark of a nearby tree. I already said I wont marry him. Since theyre offering so much money, why dont you marry him instead? Anisa cried with red-rimmed eyes. Immediately, curses came from the other side of the phone: You disrespectful girl! How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even remember that Im your mother? Who raised you to this age? Do you even remember that Im your daughter? Im a person, not an object to be traded for your sons house, car, and wife, Anisas nail dug into the tree bark. So you wont marry the rich family, but you insist on marrying that cripple? Are you out of your mind? Anisas mother snapped. Hes not a cripple! Anisa growled. He doesnt even want you, yet youre still trying to stick to him like glue. How pathetic! Anisas mother continued, Now you get back here and marry the man I chose for you. You wont even need to work anymore, and youll be free from serving that celebrity. This is such a good life C where else could you find it! Im doing all this for your own good. Anisa trembled all over, tears pooling in her eyes. She swallowed hard, her voice hoarse: When have you ever done anything for my own good? The two of you only care about your son. We only care about our son? Arent you the one we raised? Didnt I give birth to you? If I hadnt, where would you be? Anisas mother retorted, Youll get married eventually C whats the difference between one man and another? Your brothers child will carry our family name, while yours wont. How can you evenpare yourself to him? Tears streamed down Anisas face, falling silently and endlessly. Have you ever thought about what kind of life your daughter would have after marrying that man whos over forty and has already been divorced four times? Anisa choked. Thats just because he had no fate with his previous partners. Anisas mother argued, So what? Even if you get divorced, he cant take back the money he gave us. Besides, if you end up divorced as well, youll be free too. Anisa silently raised her hand to cover her eyes. Ill have you know that Ive already taken the money, her mother continued, and I already gave part of it as a down payment for your brothers house. If you dont want your mother to die at the entrance of your room and have to bear the guilt of driving me to my death, youd bettere home and get married obediently. You Just as Anisa was about to speak, the phone call was abruptly ended. Leaning against the tree, she buried her face in her arms, biting her lip to keep herself from sobbing out loud. After a while, she pounded the tree with her hand a couple of times. Her fingers were scraped and bleeding from the rough tree bark, and several of her nails cracked as well. It took a while for her to calm down, dry her tears, and rub warmth back into her wind-chilled face. Just as she was about to get up and walk back, her cell phone rang again. Seeing the number on the screen, Anisas heart sank. She hesitated until the call was about to end before reluctantly answering it. Hello? Its been half an hour and youre still crying? The other partys voice was distorted by a voice changer and sounded neither male nor female, eerie, and creepy. How do you know? Anisa shuddered from the cold that seeped in from her heart. She even stood up and looked around. I have my ways, the mysterious person said, You should cooperate with us. I can take care of that mans troubles for you. Who are you? The person on the other end chuckled, As I said before, you wont have to do anything. Just put the thing Ive provided for you in Daisy Zanes hotel room. Thats all you have to worry about. The person interrupted her: Lets cooperate. Otherwise, your mother really will die at the entrance of your room. Even if she doesnt want to, we can help her. This way your mother really will die because of you. Youll be the murderer. Youre tapping my phone! Youre pretty smart, the personughed, Since youre so smart, dont think about reporting this to the police. They wont find me, and your situation will only get worse. Your family, your boyfriend, even you You! Agree to my terms, and I can even get your mother to agree to let you be with your boyfriend. Its such an excellent deal C isnt that what youve always dreamt of? With just one word from you, youll have everything you want. By the time Anisa returned to the car, it was almost three oclock. The moment she opened the car door, the sleeping Daisy Zane opened her eyes. Daisy, its almost three oclock, Anisa said. Daisys hand had been in Harton rks all along. She sat up, still holding his hand, and asked, Just got back? Mhm. Anisa didnt seem any different from usual, After talking to Sister Emily, I also called my mom. The conversation took a while. Daisy nodded, released Hartons hand, and said, I ced our meal in a thermal container. Thank you, Daisy. Anisa sat down and opened the container, steam still rising from the hot food inside. At home, she never got to eat a hot meal if she returnedte Daisy, about your show this time Harton had read the script that was lying beside Daisy as she slept. Although it was only about a tenth of the whole show, he couldnt help butment What about it? Daisy nced at him. Its so tragic, Harton said. National hatred, family vengeance, betrayal, deception, kinship, love There was hardly a single pleasant event. From tomorrow onwards, things wouldnt be any better for the female lead. Every day was filled with either crying, shouting, or suffering hardships and injuries Only by going through that can she be strong, Daisymented. Does one need to go through such tragedy to grow stronger? Harton wondered. Daisy looked at him, clearly not everyone did. He was a living example of that. Furthermore, an example she couldnt even defeat. Some people grow stronger by choice. Others are forced into it. Clearly, the female lead was thetter. This is just one tragic part of her story. Once this part is over, shell be able to face the hardships calmly in the future, Daisy said softly, her eyes downcast. Hartons lips moved, many words wanting toe out, but he didnt know where to start. Filming such exhausting fight scenes, constantly dealing with injuries, both old and new, on top of the weight of connecting with the characters emotions. Daisy nced at him, noticing his pursed lips and uneasy expression. She considered for a moment before asking, Whats wrong? Nothing, Harton knew that discussing these issues would be pointless, as he held her hand and said, I just find the script somewhat unreasonable. In what way? He thought for a moment before nitpicking, The romance part isnt very logical. Daisy: and how should it be logical? I think it would be quite logical if theres no romance at all, Harton suggested. Anisa chuckled quietly. Daisy nced at her, then back at Harton. Her icy gaze fixated on him. Well I suddenly think its quite logical, too, Harton immediately corrected himself. Daisyughed and pinched the tip of his finger. Chapter 139 - 131 Chapter 139: Chapter 131 Trantor: 549690339 Miles Family Dad, Ive found a good day for the event. Johanes Miles said, March 20 is an auspicious day. Its the best day for the Family Recognition Banquet. Upon hearing this, Charles Hobson did not show a good face to them and left right away. Amelia Miles sat aside, nced at her mother, but did not move. Continuing to y the considerate part, she quietly listened to their conversation. Then lets set it on that day. Old Master Miles said, You should prepare well these days, get everything ready, and then notify the media reporters. Alright. Johanes Miles said, What about Daisy Zanes side Old Master Miles thought for a moment, Wait until the media are notified, then tell her. I understand. Amelia Miles listened and sneered in her heart. Waiting to notify the media before telling her C are they afraid she wont agree, and n to use the media and the public to pressure her? What would she not agree to? She couldnt wait to enter this family, tear off thebel of her illegitimate child, and be the youngdy of the Miles family. Just as she was thinking about it, her cell phone rang once. She first looked at the phone she usually used and saw no new messages. Then she checked another phone. A hidden number sent a message. [Anisa Cooper agreed.] Amelia Miles clenched her phone suddenly, took several soft breaths, and suppressed the excitement in her heart. When replying to the message, her hands were shaking with excitement: [Do it right away, the faster the better. Leak the news to rissa Mason so she can report it.] [No problem.] Kevin rk took care of some stuff during the day. When he returned to the drama crews hotel in the evening, Daisy Zanes eyes were swollen, and her throat was hoarse. She spent all day filming tear-jerker scenes, crying until her eyes swelled and yelling until her voice was hoarse. Kevin rk felt very sorry for her. After dinner, he made her applypresses to her eyes and fed her two types of medicine to help ease her throat. Daisy Zane, leaning on the sofa, held her head back against the sofa cushion, applied a thick eye mask, and exuded a whiff of medicinal fragrance from time to time. And she was still running a fever. Kevin rk sat by her side, applying medicine to the gauze. Anisa Cooper looked at them and realized she couldnt help much and might even be in the way. So she told Daisy Zane that she was leaving and went back to her room. This time they stayed at separate hotel rooms. Anisa Coopers room was three doors away from Daisy Zanes. She had a room key for this room too and woulde over in the morning to wake Daisy Zane up. She coulde and go as she pleased from both rooms. Is this enough? Daisy Zane asked. Wait a little longer. Kevin rk ced the gauze, smeared with medicine, on Daisy Zanes neck, It reduces swelling and pain. It should be fine tomorrow. Daisy Zane murmured, What a bother. Your voice is almost gone, do you think it will be better tomorrow? Kevin rk used a fork to pick up a grape and ced it in her mouth, Open your mouth. Daisy Zane opened her mouth and ate it, saying, The director gave me two days off. Hmm? The drama crew built a new set, so for the next two days, theyll be focused on filming scenes rted to that set. Daisy Zane said in a hoarse voice, I dont have any parts in those scenes. Why didnt you go back to Evesting Pce tonight? Its toote, I dont feel like moving. Ill go back tomorrow. Its a good opportunity to rest for two days. Kevin rk said, Where do you want to go? I want to go back and see Charles Amos. Okay. Kevin rk fed her a piece of orange, Ill have someone book the ticketster. Mmm. Daisy Zane leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was because of the vibration of Kevin rks phone. In fact, the phone only vibrated once, and Kevin rk immediately silenced it. But Daisy Zane still woke up. Daisy Zane got up and lowered her head, as the eye mask on her eyes fell off. She looked at Kevin rk, Your phone. Kevin rk handed her a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead before picking up the phone: Go ahead. He didnt know what the other person said, but Kevins expression darkened. After a while, he said, I got it, Ill be right there. Daisy Zane looked at him. I have to go back to the city, Kevin said, standing up and bending down to kiss her on the lips before adding, Keep this on your neck until tomorrow morning. Whats going on? Kevin looked at her, pausing for a second before saying, It might be rted to Would you like toe with me? Daisy Zane immediately stood up: Ill change my clothes. Alright. Daisy took a medical adhesive tape from the medical kit. After changing her clothes, she put the gauze on her neck and secured it with the adhesive tape. It took her only about thirty seconds toe out of the room and say, Lets go. Kevin had already put on his coat, and he took her coat and helped her put it on. The two went to the parking lot together, and only after the car left the parking lot did Daisy ask, What happened? Theres been a homeless man in the antique street area of Truro City, Kevin said as he drove, A few days ago, he suddenly went to a nearby police station, saying someone wanted to harm him and he wanted to report it. But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly lost consciousness. Daisy looked at him, frowning. Drugs were found in his body, Kevin said, It resembles 319, but its not the same. Its also unidentifiable. Whats the cause of death? The forensic doctor currently says its cardiac arrest. Multiple organ damage has urred all over his body, Kevin said, Theyre still confirming. Organ damage throughout his body? Is it rted to the drug? Not sure yet, Kevin said, taking her hand. Daisy nodded and didnt say anything, looking out of the car. At the same time in Truro City, rissa Mason looked at the message on her cell phone. After a while, she called the police: Hello, Id like to report someone using drugs. The address is . After hanging up, she made another call: Ferdason Hotel, tonight the police wille, theres big news. At 0:27 early in the morning. The police swiped open Dawson Zanes room door and began searching inside. The hotel room was simple, with only a few clothes and some cosmetics. After about twenty minutes of searching, the police found three small bags of white powder in a makeup bag. What is this . Take it back for testing first. Where is the person in this room? Did they know someone reported them and run away? Check the surveince. Contact their drama crew. Question all the relevant people. Alright. Many reporters were waiting outside the hotel, and it seemed that the source of the leak had informed more than one media outlet. Despite thete hour and the biting cold, they were all alert and focused on the hotel entrance. They watched as the police entered the hotel, and after a long time, they saw the policee out of the hotel. And they took someone away. All the reporters rushed forward, asking questions. The photographer carried the camera and took pictures. Soon someone recognized who was taken away. Isnt that Anisa Cooper? Who is Anisa Cooper? Daisy Zanes assistant, Catherines assistant. Oh my god, what happened to her? Whats going on? Whats the situation? This is big news. Is Daisy Zane in trouble? Where is she? Where did she go? Chapter 140 - 132: Message Spreads Chapter 140: Chapter 132: Message Spreads Trantor: 549690339 Truro Police Department Upon arriving, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane were led straightaway to meet the director. Third Master. Director Hamilton. The two appeared very familiar with each other, forgoing any superfluous pleasantries. Edward Lee nced at Daisy Zane by Kevins side but refrained from asking too many questions. He introduced the person next to him, This is Deputy Director Giovanni. Recently transferred from a nearby market town, Diego Giovanni has cracked many major cases. Diego Giovanni appeared to be in his forties and bore an upright appearance. With a stern face, he exuded reliability at first nce. He extended his hand to shake Kevins: Third Master. Afterward, he nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane also looked at him, and as their eyes met for a moment, both indifferently looked away. After exchanging brief greetings, Edward Lee began telling Kevin about the case involving the homeless man. He handed over several of the forensic pathologists reports to Kevin first. Kevin ced the report near Daisy Zane, and they looked at it together. These indexes seem too high, Daisy said. Indeed. Theyre three times higher than those of an average person, Kevin said, ncing at the time on the report before flipping through a couple more pages. It was another identical examination report. The previous one had been taken three hours after the deceased had passed away. It was clear that the forensic pathologist suspected something was off, so another examination was performed twenty-four hourster. While the indexes were not as high as they were the first time, they remained higher than average. Normally, three hours after death, these data would be very low, nearly zero, Kevin said. But with these results taken twenty-four hourster, the values are still higher than those of a living person. Its as if these data are saying this isnt a normal human being, Daisy added. Edward Lee and Diego Giovanni both nced at Daisy Zane. Kevin nodded, flipping through the report again. There was another section about the blood drug analysis. Edward Lee said, They are currently working to further detect if the drugponents in his blood are rted to case 319. Hmm, Kevin replied, Howmuch longer until the resultse out? Edward Lee checked the time, Within neen hours. Kevin looked at Daisy Zane by his side. Understanding his meaning, Daisy immediately said, I cant sleep. Kevin listened to her hoarse voice and reached for the thermos cup beside him. But before he could reach it, a disposable cup filled with steaming water appeared next to Daisy Zane. Diego Giovanni ced the water down and then stepped back without saying a word, returning to where he had been standing all along. Daisy Zane looked at the steaming water. Kevin turned to Diego Giovanni, Many thanks, Deputy Director Giovanni. No need for pleasantries, Third Master, Diego Giovanni replied emotionlessly, his stern face not revealing any expressions. He resembled a tough, unfeeling rock. Kevin looked at Daisy Zane again, Tell me if you get tired. Hmm. Kevin turned to Edward Lee, who immediately handed over several materials to him. The two appeared to coborate seamlessly due to their long-standing partnership, understanding each others intentions without exchanging words. Before his death, the homeless man had filed a report iming that someone was trying to harm him. Thus, the police had thoroughly investigated everything they could over the past few days. Had they not found a possible connection to case 319, they wouldnt have contacted Kevin rk. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane examined the materials together. Three minutester, the two exchanged nces, and Daisy Zane reached up to touch the gauze around her neck. Kevin rk looked at Edward Lee: What did he do before? I dont know, Edward Lee said, Hes been homeless around Antique Street for seven or eight years. He doesnt ept any government assistance. His family, friends, no one knows anything about. We dont even know where he came from. He wont say when asked. Theres no information about his connections. Kevin rk: As you can see from his social connections. Edward Lee continued, The bosses around Antique Street almost all know him, and he relies on that street for his living. ording to the investigation, this homeless man is very humorous, polite, and has a good reputation. Some people even try to find him jobs, but he just wants to be homeless. Hes determined to be homeless. Kevin rk looked at the materials, which now seemed to have no clues: Let me check the surveince of Antique Street. Okay. Edward Lee shouted to the outside of the room: William, surveince! Although they had watched the surveince more than once, Kevin rk was different. Letting him watch it might show him something they didnt see. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk watched the surveince in the police station, while outside, the situation had be chaotic. The reporters outside the Ferdason Hotel had photographed Anisa Cooper being taken away, but they hadnt received much more information yet. However, in order to grab attention and headlines, they still reported it. It was roughly titled Late night, Flynn Ninevaras assistant taken away by police from the hotel, reason unclear, Flynn has not yet responded. The first release was in the early hours around 1 am, followed by continuous releases from various media outlets. Even though it waste, it still received widespread attention. Almost as if the sleeping fans were called up to watch the drama unfold, staring wide-eyed at the developments. And about an hourter, a media outlet called Zealot Media released a piece of news. [Daisy Zane arrested for drug use, illicit substance found in her hotel room. Assistant Anisa Cooper taken away for investigation.] Below were three photos of Anisa Cooper being taken away, and six photos of Daisy Zane and Kevin rk entering the police station. Kevin rks face was blurred, leaving only Daisy Zane visible. As soon as the news came out, it was like a bomb thrown into water, causing great waves. Daisy Zanes identity might not have caused such a storm, but Flynn Ninevaras could. [Holy shit, what happened? Whats going on? This is the first time Ive heard of a female celebrity doing this.] [Ban her, ban her, ban her, ban her.] [Theres no official news yet, you guys have no evidence, this is a rumor.] [Do those few photos look like someone being arrested? Who goes to a police station like that after being arrested? Shameless media spreading rumors, just wait to be sued.] [Dont brainwash fans anymore, Zealot has been a media outlet for many years, would they spread rumors about this kind of thing?] [Daisy Zane doesnt look like shes been arrested, but her assistant has been taken away for real. Fans who still dream of whitewashing her, just wait for her to be banned.] rissa Mason saw the news online and felt her blood boiling. Her excitement was as if every cell in her body was dancing along. She looked at the iing call on her cellphone, calmed her mood, and answered: Whats up? Are you sure there wont be any problem with the news? The editor of Zealot Media asked on the phone call. Dont worry, the news is 100% true, rissa Mason said, Just wait for Zealot to be the industrys top hitter again. All right. The other side hung up after saying this. rissa Mason threw her phone on the table, danced happily for a moment, tapping her rhythm. As she turned around in a circle, she suddenly sat on the ground. Her fingers touched the smooth floor,ughing sinisterly: What if you are Flynn Ninevara? In the end, you will still be ruined. Stealing my roles, causing me to be beaten, causing me to be abandoned by Olivia Chester, being banned by the industry its all because of you, all you. rissa Mason fiercely stab the floor twice, You are here to ruin me, as long as youre gone, my future in stardom will be smooth. After saying that, shey down on the floor and startedughing. Chapter 141 - 133: Clarifying the Relationship Chapter 141: Chapter 133: rifying the Rtionship Trantor: 549690339 The news on the inte spread quickly, and there was still no response from the authorities. It can be said that it took one night until dawn. Daisy Zane, Maple Elite Entertainment, and the drama crew all didnt give a response. It was as if they were tacitly admitting to it. However, theck of response on the inte was because everyone was trying to contact Daisy Zane. Allonzo Hobson was also trying to contact Kevin rk. But neither of their phones were being answered, although they were reachable. Its easy to control the news online, but searching Daisy Zanes residence for evidence is not an easy task. So everyone can only wait for news to confirm what was going on with Daisy Zane before they could rify and respond specifically. Allonzo Hobson couldnt reach anyone, so he immediately called Juan Wright. Only then did he find out that the person in the photos online at the entrance of the police station, whose identity waspletely blurred, was Kevin rk. After learning that Daisy Zane and Kevin rk had entered the police station together, Allonzo Hobson immediately felt relieved. Moreover, knowing that they were dealing with the 319 case, he didnt hurry to contact them. Compared to that, this matter was more pressing. In this case, Daisy Zane was innocent, and with so many people involved, they wouldnt let her suffer this injustice for nothing. But with the other case, a difference of just one minute might miss the best opportunity to arrest someone. So he told Gentry Morris, Harry Thompson, and Hill Dawson not to worry. With Kevin rk there, even if the sky exploded, he could stitch it up without a trace. He controlled the news online for a while and then didnt bother anymore. Miles Family Amelia Miles looked at the news online and didnt sleep all night. [Is there any problem with Anisa Cooper?] She sent out a message. [Dont worry, even if she talks, it wont lead to me, let alone to you.] The other party quickly replied with a message. Amelia Miles felt relieved, wanted to go wash up, but after thinking about it, she didnt. She didnt change clothes either, casually grabbed a coat to put on, and then left her room. On the ground floor, Johanes Miles and Old Master Miles were sitting opposite each other, both looking unhappy. Charles Hobson was sitting on the side, not speaking at this time to avoid making himself unhappy. But he seemed to be in a good mood. Amelia Milesughed in her heart, then quickly put on a worried look and hurried downstairs: Grandpa, mom and dad, I just saw the news online, and my sister, my sister Is she being framed? Why did youe down like this? Charles Hobson said. I just saw the news. Im a little worried about my sister. Amelia Miles wrapped herself in the coat, sat on the sofa, and anxiously said, Is my sister in trouble now? Not just her, the whole Miles family is in trouble now. Johanes Miles said coldly, Miles Groups stock is still falling, all thanks to her. Amelia Miles furrowed her brows, having only read about Daisy Zanest night, forgetting about her ownpany. She even wondered when people their age had be so concerned with the news online. It turned out thepany had been affected. Family Recognition Banquet, why not recognize her now? What Purple Star, shes clearly a broom star. But isnt today the day we officially announce the Family Recognition Banquet to the media? Amelia Miles whispered, How are we going to handle this now? No one spoke. During the preparation process, Johanes Miles had been leaking the news to some media outlets. So many media outlets had been following this event. As a result, as soon as Daisy Zane had an issue, the Miles familys stock also fell along with her impending family recognition. Is there any turnaround for this situation? Old Master Miles asked in a deep voice. The chances of a turnaround are almost zero. Johanes Miles said tiredly, She has already entered the police station. So much time has passed, the results of the investigation should be out by now. If there was nothing wrong with her, she would havee out by now. Even if she doesnte out, as long as shes innocent, thepany would have responded by now. Now everywhere is quiet, its as if were waiting for the official verdict. The living room fell silent again. Charles Hobson and Amelia Miles exchanged nces. Amelia Miles said: So, what should we do? My sister, she Cut ties. The cleaner the break, the better. Johanes Miles said, Shes done such an outrageous thing, no one can save her. Whoever gets involved with someone like her will have bad luck. Yes. Old Master Miles said, Find a few trustworthy media outlets and let them write the story properly. Clear the Miles Familys name. Yes. Johanes Miles stood up, Ill get on it. Amelia Miles sighed softly, lowered her eyes, and smiled. Charles Hobson also let out a sigh of relief, the smile on his face deepened without any attempt to hide. Police Station Kevin rk and Daisy Zane stayed up all night watching the surveince footage prior to the homeless mans reporting, hoping to find any clues from the video. So they watched the footage very slowly, slowly in slow motion. Daisy, go rest a little. Ill watch it. Im not tired. Daisy Zane eyes never left theputer screen. Diego Giovanni brought her another cup of steaming water. Kevin rk red at him, this was already the fifth cup. This guy Daisy Zane suddenly pressed the pause button: Kevin rk, look at this spot. As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the office was knocked open. Edward Lee turned around and asked, Whats up? William stood at the doorway and said, The Drug Prohibition Task Force said they are looking for Lady Zane Daisy. Kevin rk, Daisy Zane, and Diego Giovanni were all watching the surveince footage, and upon hearing this, they all looked up at the entrance. Daisy Zane? Whos Daisy Zane? Edward Lee never asked about the person Kevin rk brought along. But he could see that something was off about Kevin and that woman, too concerned about her. When did he ever care if someone was tired or not? He would only kick them awake when they were about to doze off. Whats going on? Kevin rk asked. Edward Lee looked over and remembered that he didnt even know the name of the person Kevin brought. That The Drug Prohibition Task Force said Lady Zane is involved in drug use Lets cooperate with the investigation. The Drug Prohibition Task Force tracked Daisy Zane through Ferdason Hotels CCTV and various road cameras, eventually leading them to Daisy in the police station After searching for several hours, they found that the person they were looking for was in the same ce as themselves. So they showed the CCTV footage to William and asked if he had seen the woman in the footage. Then, William knocked on the door. Kevin rks eyes were somewhat red, and upon hearing this sentence, his expression became fierce, as if his eyes were stained with blood, particrly terrifying. Diego Giovannis face also darkened upon hearing this, and he looked as if he wanted to curse. Daisy Zane had no expression, nced at William, and then looked at Diego Giovanni: 5 minutes. Diego Giovanni didnt say a word and went straight out of the office. Daisy Zane then looked back at theputer and magnified the footage: Here, there are two shadows on the ss. The spot was a corner where the homeless man would rest every night, right in a blind spot for surveince cameras. However, diagonally across the corner, the ss facing the camera reflected two shadows. Indeed, Edward Lee said. Kevin rk rewound the footage a little and yed it in slow motion again. The shadows on the ss werent very clear, and they could barely make out that one person was sitting, while the other bent down as if talking. Later, the person sitting struggled to get up, and the standing person seemed to push the sitting person away, then walked in the opposite direction, deliberately avoiding the camera on this side. As for the person sitting, they didnt move at all, not budging an inch as seen from the shadows on the ss. Kevin rk yed the footage at double speed. It wasnt until the next day, around seven oclock, that the shadows on the ss moved. Then the homeless man walked out from the corner. Based on the time, it seemed like he went straight to the police station afterward. Chapter 142 - 134: Current Girlfriend Chapter 142: Chapter 134: Current Girlfriend Trantor: 549690339 Have someone check the surveince around the corner. Cross-check the figure on the ss to see if theres any footage captured. Kevin rk said, Also, look into the identity of this homeless man. Its a bit suspicious. Yeah. Edward Lee said, The perpetrator has a very specific target, as if they came directly for this homeless man. Yes. Kevin rk said, You get someone to look into it first. After speaking, Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane: Lets go, Ill apany you. I can go by myself. Daisy Zane stretchedzily and stood up. Edward Lee nced at the two of them, held back for a moment, and asked, This Kevin rk also stood up, picked up Daisy Zanes coat from the chair next to him, and said, Current girlfriend Current girlfriend? Edward Lee furrowed his eyebrows, what did that mean? Would anyone introduce their girlfriend like that? No, the key is, how could someone like him have a girlfriend? Was this girl dazzled by his appearance and therefore chose him? What a poor judgment in choosing a man for this little girl. Hearing these three words, Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk. Her eyes, having stayed up all night, were even colder. Kevin rk draped the coat over her, rubbed her face, and smiled, Future wife. Daisy Zane: . Edward Lee: So fierce. Kevin rk carefully tore off the gauze on her neck, Go back and take more medicine. Hmm. Edward Lee felt goosebumps all over his body listening to his gentle words and even shivered. On the way to the Drug Prohibition Task Force with Daisy Zane, Kevin rk. Daisy Zane checked her phone. She put her phone on silent before entering the police station. As she expected, something this big was already causing amotion outside. So many people had called her. Even Holt Lawrence and Damian Brown called her. Daisy Zane texted Holt Lawrence back: [Im fine.] Holt Lawrence replied immediately, sending over a lot of material. But Daisy Zane didnt have time to look at it. She was taken to the interrogation chamber while Kevin rk and Diego Giovanni waited outside. Kevin rk also checked his phone for messages. Allonzo Hobson had called him more than a dozen times. Later, he sent him a message: [Ive already had someone control the news online, let me know if you need anything else. Im going to sleep.] Upon reading the message, Kevin rk directly opened Facebook and looked at the news online. He then looked at Diego Giovanni next to him and asked, Have they found anything at her residence? Diego Giovanni had already learned of the situation just now: Yes, its been taken for testing. What about her assistant? Did she say anything? No. Diego Giovanni lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, She doesnt know anything. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow slightly, the yfulness hidden in his eyes seemed to be able to determine a persons life or death. Checking his phone again, he saw many messages from Juan Wright. They were all materials Juan had found, including the address of the hacker who had contacted Amelia Miles. After roughly browsing through the messages, Kevin rk replied: [Send someone over and arrest the hidden hacker directly.] Juan Wright immediately replied: [Yes.] After turning off his phone, Kevin rk looked at Diego Giovanni, who was still smoking and didnt seem to want to leave, and asked, Does Deputy Director Giovanni know my Lucia? Diego Giovanni heard the words My Daisy and suddenly knitted his brows, but quickly rxed them. After looking at Harton rk for two seconds, he said, I dont know her. Harton rk looked at him. His long, narrow eyes were faint and floating, like an evil soft knife. Under Diego Giovannis experienced and calm aura, they didnt falter, and even seemed to outdo him. Diego Giovanni averted his gaze, extinguished his cigarette, and said with a straight face, Theres something else I need to do over there, Ill go check it out. And with that, he left. Harton rk watched his retreating figure until it disappeared, then slowly retracted his gaze. A lock of Daisy Zanes hair was cut off for drug testing, as she rubbed her scalp where the hair was cut. After it was cut off, Daisy Zane kept touching the short stubble in her hair. While waiting for the test result, the white powder found in her room had already been tested. A female police officer brought in the test results. The police officer interrogating Daisy Zane took the report, nced at the ingredients listed, and then directly looked at the final result, saying, Isnt it a drug? Hmm. Then this Looking at the ingredients, he said, Talc, bismuth oxychloride what are these ingredients? Daisy Zane listened quietly, her face expressionless. She seemed as cold as fallen snow, exuding a faint chill. so clean and coldly beautiful. The female police officer gently sighed, Its a cosmetic. Its called setting powder for makeup. All three packages? Yes. Police officer: I didnt think it looked like one. But with the informant saying it had a nose and eyes, I thought a new product was out. Daisy Zane: . The police officer looked at Daisy Zane, You guys package it in bags? Maybe for the convenience of the makeup artist. Daisy Zane said. Earlier when the police told her they found the stuff in the bottomyer of her makeup box, she had honestly said she wasnt sure what it was. The makeup box was prepared by the drama crews makeup artist, and everything inside was the makeup artists. Since the makeup artist is responsible for her and two other actors in the drama, the makeup artist had Anisa Cooper carrying the box exclusively for her every day. She had only seen the threefold topyer but never the bottomyer since the makeup artist had never opened it. Police officer: . Just wait for your results. Daisy Zane nodded. More than an hourter, the hair drug test result came out, and it was negative. It turned out to be a false rm after a whole night of fuss. The police asked Daisy Zane more questions and then let her go. When Daisy Zane walked out, Harton rk was still waiting outside. Seeing her, he smiled first, Lets eat something. Ive arranged everything else. Daisy Zane nodded and said, Lets wait for Anisa Cooper. Alright, said Harton rk. Can I take a look at the material about the missing doctor from Red Cliff Vige? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Hmm? Harton rk looked at her and asked, Why did you suddenly think of him? I thought about it when I was in the interrogation room. Daisy Zane put her hand into Harton rks coat pocket, pulled out a piece of candy, peeled it and put it in her mouth, and continued, This homeless mans behavior is very much like hes avoiding something. And theres no information about his previous job. Yes, Harton rk took away the candy wrapper from her hand, If the drugponent confirmed in his body is 319. Its very likely that the homeless man is rted to 319. Thats why I suddenly thought of the doctor from Red Cliff Vige, Daisy Zane said, I just want to have a look. Okay, Harton rk said, Ill let you see it after dinner. Alright.. Chapter 143 - 135: Never Acknowledging Kinship Chapter 143: Chapter 135: Never Acknowledging Kinship Trantor: 549690339 Harton rk and Daisy waited at the entrance of the Police Station for Anisa Cooper toe out. While waiting, Harton rk had already arranged everything for rification. Allonzo Hobson, Hill Dawson, the drama crew, and Maple Elite Entertainment would all release statements to rify the situation. Due to their public status and the significant impact of the incident. The police would also release a statement to verify their innocence. Just as everyone was arranging the rification, a response from the Miles Family appeared on Facebooks hot search. Daisy clicked to check it. There was a video among them, in front of the Miles Group skyscraper, surrounded by a swarm of reporters. When Johanes Miles appeared, the reporters rushed forward and surrounded him in the middle. update by newn0el .org [Director Miles, I heard that you are preparing a Family Recognition Banquet recently to ept Daisy back into the Miles Family. Is that true?] [Director Miles, have you seen the news online? What do you think of those news?] [Director Miles, do you have any exnation about Daisy involving in this kind of thing?] [Director Miles, did you know about what Daisy has done beforehand?] Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet, Johanes Miles was surrounded by security in the middle, saying loudly, Please hear me out, please hear me out. All media outlets quieted down, and their microphones and cameras were aimed at him. Johanes Miles straightened his face and said, Ive seen the news online, and to be honest, I was very shocked and very guilty when I saw it. I was shocked because I didnt expect Daisy would dare to do such outrageous things. I was guilty because, although I didnt know about her existence for these twenty-plus years, I felt guilty for not giving her proper education, resulting in her bing like this. So, I am deeply sorry for the adverse influence she has brought to our country and society. So, is it true that Daisy takes drugs? The reporter suddenly asked. Johanes Miles face stiffened for a moment and then said, The officials will give us an answer to that. I wont say more. Didnt you know beforehand? someone else asked. We didnt know at all. If I had known she had done such a thing, I would have sent her in at once. Johanes Miles spoke about waiting for an official message, but his words implied that the incident was true as described online. Ever since Daisy came to Truro City, weve met a few times. Johanes Miles cleared his name, And all of these few times, we parted unhappily, even more unfamiliar than strangers. What about the Family Recognition Banquet? The reporter asked again. The Miles Family has never thought about recognizing her as a family member, so the question of a Family Recognition Banquet does not arise. Johanes Miles said, There have been constant rumors online that the Miles Family is preparing a Family Recognition Banquet. I would like to take this opportunity today to rify this point. The Miles Family has never considered recognizing her as a family member due to various reasons back then Johanes Miles hesitated and then continued, But after all, the child is innocent. So after knowing about Daisys existence, I have given her duepensation. Subsequently, apany will make it public for everyone. But recognizing her as a family member has never been thought of and never will. Besides, shes done this now. We are businessmen, but we can still distinguish between right and wrong in the face of national interests and major issues. Johanes Miles said with righteousness and solemnity, Even without those past incidents, with her like this now, the Miles Family would never ept her. Director Miles, you mean to say that when you had a rtionship with someone back then, it was the womans fault? The sharp reporter asked. Johanes Miles showed a regretful face and sighed, The one who has passed is gone. Those things have gone with her, so lets not mention them again. The videosted for another ten seconds, but Daisy didnt watch it and just turned off her cell phone. The cold in her eyes gradually turned to ice. In just a few words, Johanes Miles shifted all the me for his infidelity back then onto udia Zane. And he imed that he didnt know about Daisys existence for over twenty years. Was he so sure that no one had any evidence? Harton rk, next to her, also saw the video. Seeing Daisy getting angry, he wanted to reach out to rub her head but just as he was about to raise his hand, he saw a camera sticking out from behind a distant tree in the corner of his eye. So he didnt reach out and said, Daisy, dont get angry. The more arrogant he is now, the more miserable he will be in the future. Daisy saw the camera too, then she turned her eyes back to the Police Station, and after two seconds, asked, Whats todays date? March 16, said Harton rk. Lucia didnt speak, but a vicious look shed across her eyes, a look suggesting someone was going to have terrible bad luck. Seeing this, Harton rks eyebrows quivered. He had noticed itst time as well; she seemed to have been waiting for a certain day. ?? After Anisa Cooper came out, the three of them went to the car. Harton rk drove, and the two women sat in the back. Usually, Anisa Cooper, who was always happy, even if she wasnt talking, seemed happy. But since she left the police station today, she hadnt said a word. After driving for 5 minutes, no one in the car made any noise. Daisy Zane looked at the information Holt Lawrence had sent her, very detailed. Just by looking at the results of the investigation, she could feel how angry Holt was when he searched for it. After she finished reading, she sent a message to Holt: [Take down that hacker.] Holt Lawrence: [Okay, Ill scare him first. Let him know what fear is. Damn it, he dared to mess with my head and still so arrogant.] Once she understood the situation, Daisy Zane closed her cell phone and looked at Anisa Cooper: What do you have to tell me? When she spoke, Anisa was startled at first, and after looking at her nkly for a moment, she finally said: I, I, Iyes. As soon as Anisa spoke, her eyes reddened. Daisy Zane watched her quietly. Anisa sniffed and said, X sistersomeone wants to harm youhehegave me a bunch of things and asked me to put them in your room. As soon as she spoke, tears fell down, and then she started to sob. Daisy Zane looked at the tears falling in a string: And then? Then I didnt put them. I, I lied to him and said I did. Anisa said, And then,st night, the police went to the hotel. Harton rk put the tissue paper on the armrest box. Daisy Zane took it and put it on Anisasp. Anisa took several sheets and pressed them to her eyes: I, Im scared. That, that man, he, hes monitoring my cell phone. He, he also threatened me, saying, saying hed hurt my mother. I, I dont know what to do. Why didnt you put it? I, I cant harm you. Anisa said, I, Im a heros future family member. I, I have at least some vignce. As Daisy Zane looked at her, she suddenlyughed. Harton rk nced at her in the rearview mirror and raised the corner of his mouth. X sister, why are youughing? Anisa asked. Nothing. Daisy Zane said calmly, What was the deal with the loose powder in the makeup box? Anisa had heard about it at the police station. She said: I dont know, I didnt know there was such a thing as loose powder in the makeup box. I, Ive never seen it before. When the police searched the room and found things, I, I thought they didnt trust me and still found someone else to harm you. Daisy Zane: It seems that it was just a misunderstanding, and it happened by coincidence. You continue. Daisy Zane said. Anisa took two deep breaths, steadied herself, and said: I was scared and didnt know what to do. So, so I agreed to their demands, thinking that I could buy one more day. I thought I coulde up with a solution. Did you find a solution? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow. No. They asked me yesterday if I had ced the stuff as they asked. After I told them I did, I wanted to talk to you. I couldnt think of any other solution. Anisa said, But you were so tired after shooting all day yesterday. I thought Id talk to you in the evening, but Third Master camest night. I didnt find an opportunity. I didnt expect them to actst night. Daisy Zane thought about it; a young girl in her twenties, with no money, no power, and no influence. She probably never thought she would encounter a hacker. Being inexperienced, sudden events like this would have terrified her. I wanted to tell everything at the police station. Anisa said, But the person who approached me said that even if I called the police, they wouldnt be able to find him. And the things he gave me, theyre still with me. Im afraid I really wont be able to find him, and in the end, Ill have things in my hands and cant exin them. I dont have any evidence, so I didnt say anything. He scared you. Daisy Zane said. Butisnt it true that hackers cant be found by anyone? Anisa calmed down a bit, her red eyes looking at Daisy Zane, He can monitor my cell phone, hes so capable. Daisy Zane: . . Dont insult the word capable. X sister, what should I do now? He must know that I didnt put those things in your room. Im really afraid theyll do something to my family. Anisa said, That hacker knows me very well, and Im afraid hell hurt my boyfriend. Besides, whos trying to harm you? If we dont catch them, therell be more trouble. Juan Wright has sent people to catch the hacker. Harton rk said, Nowhe should be caught. Anisa was stunned for two seconds before she understood Harton rks words, and asked nkly: Huh? Caught, caught? Daisy Zane also looked at Harton rk: Juan Wright found out? Hmm. Harton rk said, Hes quite useful besides failing to attack the Celestial Pivot. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow and thought: The technology is not bad. I dont know if Holt can scare the guy at this point. X, X sister? Anisa looked at Daisy Zane nkly, not daring to believe it, Did, did Third Master just say that the hacker was caught? Yes. Daisy Zane said lightly. Just, just like that, he was caught so quickly? Hes just a piece of trash. Why bother? Daisy Zane said contemptuously.. Chapter 144 - 136: Clarification Chapter 144: Chapter 136: rification Trantor: 549690339 The efficiency of dealing with various aspects was very fast. The first one to rify was Maple Elite Entertainment, followed by the drama crew. Then, the reporters at the entrance of the police station released photos of Daisy Zane leaving the police station. Soon, the police department issued an official announcement. Both Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper tested negative, which proved that the medias im that illicit drugs were found at Daisy Zanes residence was a rumor. It also criticized the rumormonger and threatened legal action against those responsible for the false usations. At first, when thepany and the drama crew rified the situation, some people did not believe it. But as soon as the official news came out, the voices of doubt of theizens subsided. Whenever there was a questioning, theizens would directly tag the Truro Police Department official website in thement thread. If anyone wanted to question, just directly question the police department and let the official website answer. update by newn0el .org As soon as the rification news came out, manyizens just followed it and enjoyed the drama throughout the evening. But some people werent satisfied. Amelia Miles kept staring at the news online, and once the rification was out, she immediately sent a message to the hacker. [Whats going on online?] The hacker quickly responded: [Anisa Cooper fooled us. She never nted that thing.] Amelia Miles: [How did you manage to screw up? Werent you sure it would go off without a hitch? Much ado about nothing.] [How could I have known that Miss Cooper would be so bold and dare to deceive me? She must not care about her life, ying me like that.] Amelia Miles: [What do we do now?] [We can only make another n. There are many ways, just find another opportunity.] It took about three minutes for Amelia Miles to reply: [We have no other choice. Dont let Anisa Cooper get away!] [Of course not. She dares to fool me; I wont let her live in peace. Ill show her that Im not bluffing.] Amelia Miles: [Take care of your side of things. Dont let anyone find out about me.] [How many times do I have to say? Rest assured, no one will find me. Much less you.] The hacker sat in front of five or sixputers in a sealed-off room lit only by the glow of the screens. His bearded face was grim and sinister, like a rat hiding in a gutter. Wearing a smug smile, he moved his fingertips, deleting the chat with Amelia Miles. Suddenly, all theputers went ck. His pupils shrank as several lines of text appeared on theputer screen directly in front of him. [No one can find you?] [What do you think you are?] [You think you can make someones life difficult? To tell you the truth, youre just a joke.] The hacker was startled, staring at theputer for several seconds before reacting and typing quickly on the keyboard in response. But no matter how hard he typed, theputer showed no response. Instantly, the hackers face turned pale. Another line of text appeared on theputer: [Dont bother. With your skills, its an insult to the word hacker.] [You think no one can find you, and you think youre a god. What are you trying to delete? Deleting doesnt make any difference. You think I dont know that Amelia Miles is behind this? You think using Olivia Chesters ID to get a card will prevent me from finding her?] After saying that, Holt Lawrence put his detailed address on theputer screen. The hacker was immediately frightened, his breathing became rapid. His widened eyes, and every time he took a breath, the beard around his mouth moved up and down. The most direct way to hit a hacker is to hit his pride. Let him know that he is garbage. The hacker couldnt believe it, trying everyputer again, but everyputer seemed broken, unresponsive to any input. He stared at the screens of allputers, all showing a logo. A logo that almost every hacker would recognize. The emblem of Celestial Pivot Detective Agency. The logo gradually disappeared, and on the screen appeared three letters: LUO. Before the emergence of Nathan Ninevara, the Celestial Pivot South Star codename belonged to an unbeatable hacker. The hacker, seeing this, directly knelt down on the ground. He quickly cut off all power connections, didnt grab his cell phone, didnt wear his coat, and immediately ran outside. Just as he opened the door, a sudden kick hit him in the face. The 320-pound body was directly kicked to fly, smashing into theputers behind him. Theputers were shattered. Juan Wright stood outside the door, followed by several people. He flicked his trouser leg and looked down at the fat man who couldnt get up from the ground, sneering, Trying to run? Go ahead. Harton rk drove directly to Doomsday Hotel. He was always the type of person who would guarantee his own quality of life when conditions permitted. The three of them sat down, and Anisa Cooper was still in a daze. She hadnt expected that the problem that had been guing her for so long could be solved with just one sentence. Not only could she not ept the kind of people she hade to know, but she also couldnt ept her own foolishness. Harton rk and Daisy ignored her, letting her recover at her own pace. After a while, rks phone rang. Juan Wright sent a video. In the video, the hacker was dragged to the car by two people, unable to walk anymore. The voice of Juan Wright came through the video, Third Master, the hacker is captured. I kicked him twice. Now his legs are like jelly, and he cant walk. Should we cut him into pieces or mud? Anisa Cooper listened to this, shivering twice in a daze. Harton rk replied with a message: [Take him back first. Wait.] Daisy took a bite of a milk custard bun, chewed slowly, then swallowed and said, Naomi Nelson, where did you keep the stuff that man gave you? Huh? Anisa Cooper looked at Daisy and was puzzled for two seconds before responding, Its in the house I rented. Get it after dinner. Daisy said, You need to cooperate with the police investigation. Tell them everything. Youll be fine. I, I know. Anisa Cooper replied, Now that the hacker has been caught, Im not afraid anymore. rk added some soup for Lucia and said to Anisa, Juan willeter, let him apany you to get the stuff, and then go directly to the police station. Okay. Anisa Cooper agreed. rk continued, All this was done by Amelia Miles. She was the one who found those people, and let them go to your home to propose a marriage. Anisa Cooper widened her eyes, Even this was arranged by them. They create trouble for me and then solve it to win me over. Yes. Harton rk replied, So, remember to speak up early if something like this happens again. Itll save everyone a lot of trouble. Anisa Cooper lowered her head and whispered, I understand now. Im sorry. Daisy sipped her soup, lowered her gaze, and said, Lets eat first. Okay. Anisa Cooper picked up her chopsticks. Harton rk looked at her and smiled, Amelia probably doesnt want the Miles Family to recognize you. Daisy hummed in agreement. She used Olivia Chesters ID card to apply for the SIM card she contacted the hacker with. At first, she used the card in her own frequently used cell phone. Later on, she put the card in a newly purchased cell phone. Of course, Holt Lawrence could find this information just as Juan Wright could. However, Lucia didnt interrupt rk and listened to him say, After everything was set up, she let the hacker tell rissa Mason. So, it was rissa who reported this, as well as leaked it to the editor of Zealot Media. Are all the people dealt with? Yes. rk responded calmly, Once Anisa Cooper goes to the police station, none of these people on the line will escape. For rumormongers with serious consequences, theyll face three to seven years imprisonment. For serious consequences caused by framing or deception, theyll face three to ten years. Of course, if other things are investigated, separate charges will apply. rke seemed to be sure of the word of course, as if something would definitelye up during their investigation. Lucia raised her eyebrows, looking satisfied that she didnt have to do anything herself. Anisa Cooper was holding her breath, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible. Harton rks eyebrows and eyes still contained a smile, but he exuded an intimidating aura. In front of him, she felt like an ant; with just a flick of his finger, he could decide her life or death.. Chapter 145 - 137: I’ve Seen Him Chapter 145: Chapter 137: Ive Seen Him Trantor: 549690339 After dinner, Juan Wright took Anisa Cooper away. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane went straight to the police station. This time, the entrance to the police station was much quieter. Kevin rk had ordered all the paparazzi to be removed. So he held Daisy Zanes hand as they entered the police station. The two of them brought food for everyone, Daisy Zane even specially requested two servings of Crystal Shrimp Dim Sum. Although she didnt say anything, the shrimp dumplings ended up beside Diego Giovanni. When she ordered the two servings of shrimp dumplings, Kevin rk knew something was wrong. As expected, they were for Diego Giovanni. Kevin rk saw it, his heart filled with jealousy, but he didnt say anything, or else it would make him seem petty. So he took advantage of his height and hid Daisy Zane behind himself, not letting anyone see her. Hows the investigation going? Kevin rk asked. While eating his steamed bun, Edward Lee replied, We are still investigating. We sent more people to Antique Street to inquire about the identity of the homeless man and see if we can find any clues about his identity. Hmm, Kevin rk said, Ill take another look at the material about the Red Cliff Vige Doctor of Medical Formtion. Daisy Zane was blocked behind him, so she moved a little. As soon as she moved, Kevin rk moved too. She moved to the other side again, and Kevin rk followed suit. Daisy Zane: . Childish. Any new leads? Edward Lee asked. Hmm, well see, Kevin rk replied. Alright, Ill have someone fetch them. William took them back to the room where they had read the Red Cliff Vige Brick Factory reportsst time. After giving them each a set of paper documents, he left. Daisy Zane looked at the report in Kevin rks hand and suddenly asked, What if we, as normal people, had those high index indicators for those who are dead C what would happen? Kevin rk looked at her, and after a while, he suddenly smiled. Daisy Zane gazed at the smile on his face. What would Daisy think? Kevin rk asked her in return. Daisy Zane looked at him, and from his eyes, she already saw the answer she wanted. She said, Dy aging, prolong life. Kevin rk appreciatively raised an eyebrow, Not bad. From an index perspective, that is true. Actually, these indicators will ultimately tend towards zero. Its just that their starting point is very high and their rate of decline is very slow. It seems like they are dying a persons death. As expected, thats what Kevin rk thought too. However, the human body is too fragile to withstand the drug entering its system, Daisy Zane said. Judging from the autopsy photos from the forensic doctor, Kevin rk pondered, His internal organ damage looks like how do I say it? Its like a bag which can normally hold a certain amount of water, but it has too much water injected. Or rather, certain substances cause the water in the bag to regenerate, and then the bag bursts. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze. Kevin rk knew what Daisy Zane was thinking. He patted her head and said, Lets look at the material first. Daisy Zane looked at the material in his hand. It was organized like a resume, with the first page showing the name, gender, education, etc. At first nce, Daisy Zane saw his name: Oliver Constantine. Almost everyone in Red Cliff Vige had thest name Constantine. It was the photo next to it that caught her eye. Because the material was printed from theputer, it was in ck and white. However, due to the printer, the photo was somewhat distorted. But when Daisy Zane saw the photo, her usually detached eyes trembled slightly. The person in the photo was very young, in their early twenties. There was still an innocent air about their features. But it still matched the face of the mature and sophisticated person in Daisys memory. Lucia, Lucia? Kevin rk felt her drifting away and called out to her twice. Hearing his voice, Daisy Zane blinked very calmly and then looked back at the material. Other than the photo, the rest of the information had no real value. Daisy Zane took her eyes off the material and looked at the window in the room. She touched her knuckles and said, Ive seen him. Kevin rk looked up at her. He indeed felt that her emotions suddenly changed, but he didnt expect her to suddenly say such four simple words. And these four words she said were very cold. Ten times colder than her usual tone. It was as if the person in front had suddenly frozen, stripping away their inherent emotions. I saw him when he was called Mason Davis. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, but her gaze did not settle on anything. He had a wife and a four-year-old daughter. Kevin rk looked at her, and a bad feeling surged in his heart: What happened after that? After that Daisy Zane stroked her knuckles, I saw their family of threes corpses. How did they die? Daisy Zane shook her head gently. Mason had a bullet wound in his chest and head. But it should have been caused after death. His wife and daughter had no obvious injuries. Kevin rk lightly pursed his lips, and finally asked the question: How did you see them? Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly but did not answer his question. Instead, she said, It seems that Mason was involved in some research, but suddenly stopped participating, took his wife and daughter, and left. It would be more urate to say they fled. So because of his leaving, they killed his family of three? Kevin rk spected based on the information she provided. Daisy Zane was silent for a while before nodding. If Mason was involved in the research rted to 319 and died because of 319, Kevin rk said, then the homeless man probably died for the same reason. Hmm, Daisy Zane said. That person made themselves a homeless man, perhaps to hide from them. Daisy Zane now understood why the trade location had such a rtively special ce, Red Cliff Vige. That person wasmemorating something. Commemorating Masons death in this way, Masons betrayal. And alsomemorating her,memorating her first mission. Kevin rk threw the material in his hand onto the table. After a while, he looked very seriously at Daisy Zane and said softly, Lucia, I need an answer. Daisy Zane looked up at him, stared at him for two seconds and said, What if the answer I give is not what you want? The two looked at each other silently for a few more seconds, and these seconds felt like they were being stretched infinitely long for both of them. Each heartbeat seemed to slow down as well. It hurt the heart terribly. Shortly after, Kevin rk stepped forward and embraced Daisy Zane, stroking her head and saying, I think my Lucia wouldnt give me the answer I dont want. What if I lied to you? Daisy Zanes voice was cold and quiet, without any fluctuations or emotions. I trust you, Kevin rk said. I believe anything you say. Hearing this, Daisy Zane twitched the corner of her mouth, closed her eyes, and took a gentle breath. Kevin rks scent of eaglewood wasforting. She whispered, Ive never participated in 319. Nor have I been involved in any other research. But Alright, thats enough. Kevin rk interrupted her, As long as youre safe and they wont harm you in this way. Were not afraid of anything else.. Chapter 146 - 138: How Can Someone Be So Cruel Chapter 146: Chapter 138: How Can Someone Be So Cruel Trantor: 549690339 After reviewing Mason Davis material, Kevin rk drove Daisy Zane home and told her to get some sleep at the Evesting Pce. Upon arriving at the pce, Kevin picked up some packed medicines meant for throat protection from his ce. After watching Daisy consume one dose, he nned to leave. Arent you resting for a bit? Im okay. Kevin kissed her forehead, Ive ced an order for your lunch, it will be delivered. You dont need to bother about me. I always have time to spare for you. Kevin chuckled. Daisy raised her eyebrow and said, Why not research on the poption migration in Truro city from ten to twenty years ago and check if theres anyone who disappeared after moving, or anyone who vanished suddenly. That homeless man couldnt have wandered into Truro City for no reason. Hmm. Okay. Kevin verbally agreed, but his mind was elsewhere. His thoughts were filled with love and romance, while hers were filled with work, Call me if anythinges up. Leaning against the door, Daisy replied nonchntly, What could happen? For instance You might miss me. Kevin stated. Daisy: Seeing her reaction, Kevinughed and gently caressed her face, Well, Im leaving. You dont have to worry about anything. Ive arranged everything. Sweet dreams. Hmm. After Kevin had left, Daisy changed into sleepwear and immediately fell asleep on the bed. It was exhausting to film for an entire day and having had to deal with various issues after she stayed up all night, she was drained. People have an uncanny ability to push themselves when they are alone, tolerating fatigue to keep going. But now, Daisy fell asleep as soon as sheid down on the bed. Despite her reluctance to confront it, somewhere deep down, she was dependent on Kevin. She knew Kevin was capable and reliable. Even if a problem arose, Kevin could handle it all. She could finally rest in peace. Daisy slept until Kevin returned in the afternoon. Someone delivered lunch, which she simply ced on the dining table and then went back to sleep. She only woke up when Kevin rang the doorbell. Youre back? Daisy opened the door. Hmm. Kevin looked at her, Just woke up? Hmm. Daisy asked, Has the drug test report been released? Was it 319? Kevin sighed in his heart and responded as usual, Yes, the report is out. It does contain traces of 319. The levels of all body indicators of the corpse have been lowered as well. Watching him take off his shoes, Daisy said, But those who have been injected with 319 in the past didnt die in such a short span. While bending down, Kevin nced up at Daisy for a moment. His gaze lingered on her chest for a second before he swiftly averted his eyes. Straightening up after cing his shoes properly, he said, We dont know the reason for now. people who are injected with 319 will hallucinate and be addicted. If stopped, their mental health will have issues, or they may suffer convulsions. But those who died from it in the past were all long-term users. Are you saying its a matter of dosage? Thats not ruled out. But its still not confirmed. Kevin entered the living room and went to wash his hands in the washroom, The specificposition of 319 is quite peculiar. As we cannot identify it, were clueless about what it is. So far, there hasnt been any record rted to this substance. Daisy leaned on the washroom door, understanding clearly. As long as they didnt know what it was, every step would be difficult. They would not know what could suppress it if they didnt know what it was. Numerous experiments were being conducted by the research institute every day. Despite countless method trials, all of them ended in failure. Daisy. Kevin called her from beside the sink. Hmm? I want to use the washroom. Kevin stated. Daisy stalled for a second, then leaned against the door frame with an indifferent expression, Hmm, go ahead. Seeing her nonchnce, Kevin chuckled. His already captivating features became even more enchanting due to the crimson color around his eyes, Since Daisy doesnt mind, I naturally dont. Daisy didnt move, her gaze even slid down before she raised an eyebrow. Kevin ground his teeth, his hand rested on his belt buckle before pressing it. Watching his belt loosening, Daisy instantly straightened up and without uttering a word, turned around and left. Seeing her leaving, Kevin chuckled and mumbled, Cheeky miss. Then he closed the washroom door. When he came out of the washroom again, Daisy was sitting on the sofa, twirling a pencil she had found somewhere in her hand, deep in thought.. Chapter 147 - 138: How Can Someone Be So Cruel Part 2 Chapter 147: Chapter 138: How Can Someone Be So Cruel Part 2 Trantor: 549690339 As she was seated, the cor of her pajamas dipped even lower. Kevin rk nced at it and then walked over to her, pulling up her clothes. Hm? Kevin rk leaned down and looked into her eyes, Lucia, Im not that much of a gentleman. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze to her clothes, although they were now raised by Kevin rk and nothing could be seen. But just now, it must have Kevin rk watched her ears turn redder by the moment, and the smile in his eyes deepened. However, when Daisy Zane looked up and met his gaze, there was no difference from usual. The same indifferent eyes and an unshakable calm expression. Is that so? What do you want to do since youre not a gentleman? Kevin rk narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous look instantly filled them, brazen and as if he could swallow someone whole. Daisy Zane raised her hand and grabbed his cor, pulling hard. Two people were now closer. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, looking at her. Daisy Zane leaned close to his ear and whispered, What if I said I did it on purpose? Even though he knew she was talking nonsense, Kevin rks pupils still shrank, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He gripped Daisy Zanes wrist as she held onto his cor, just about to put force. Daisy Zane suddenly broke free from his grasp and walked to the other side of the sofa. Kevin rk was stunned for a moment, looking up at her. Daisy Zane arrogantly and provocatively raised her eyebrows, then turned around at a leisurely pace, swaggering into the bedchamber and closed the door. Watching her retreating figure, as well as the closed door of the bedchamber, Kevin rks lips trembled slightly. The desire, ruthlessness, and evil in his eyes could all tear someone apart. He clenched his face and gritted his teeth for a while before calming his inner turmoil. Standing straight, he undid his cufflinks as he thought. Shes really good at teasing then not taking responsibility! Sooner orter, shell have to learn the consequences ot provoking someone. The more Kevin rk thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he had to drink a ss of cold water before calming downpletely. He finally understood that this girl simply liked to have fun with her words, and would back down if he got serious. Daisy Zane went to the room to change her clothes and purposely stayed there for a little while longer. By the time she went out, Kevin rk was on a phone call in front of the French window. Yeah, I know. As Kevin rk spoke, he saw Daisy Zanes reflection in the ss, turned around to look at her, and waved to her. Daisy Zane walked over and stood by his side. Yeah, Ill be back in a few days. Kevin rk pulled Daisy Zanes hand and led her closer to him. Then he wrapped his arm around Daisy Zanes waist, bent down and kissed her lips. Daisy Zane immediately tried to break free from him, but Kevin rk didnt give her the chance, tightening his arm instead. He held the cell phone away from her ear and whispered, Dont move, my mom will hear. The person on the other end of the line was his mother. Daisy Zane looked at the cell phone that he brought back and didnt move. She then heard the voice on the other side of the phone, Are you listening to me? Kevin rk smiled at Daisy Zane and said into the phone, Im listening, go ahead. As soon as he finished those words, he bent down and held Daisy Zanes lips in his own. Daisy Zanes hand rested on his shoulder, unable to break free from him, and could only let him have his way. While Tom Waynes voice still rang in their ears. Young women these days like thoughtful, affectionate men. Put away that intimidating expression, and dont be too fierce. Whatever they say, just agree and be obedient. Of course, you should also be assertive when you need to be, like you know what I mean. Youre old enough; you should understand. After all, theyre young women, and there are many things they might want but are too embarrassed to mention As Tom Wayne finished his sentence, Kevin rk pried open Daisy Zanes teeth Kissing her passionately and tenderly. Daisy Zane didnt dare make a sound, cursing him in her heart. Arthur, Arthur, Kevin rk, where did you go? Are you listening to me? Is the connection bad? Where did you run off to this time, with such a poor signal? Tom Wayne rambled on the other end of the line, but the hand Kevin rk held his cell phone with had already reached Daisy Zanes nape without any intention of responding to him. Daisy Zane could hear Tom Waynes voice clearer than he did, feeling awkward as if they were doing something in front of his mother So, she bit Kevin rk. Only then did Kevin rk let go of some strength in his hand, slowly withdrawing, kissing her twice more at the corner of her mouth, and then taking a deep breath before continuing the phone call, Mom, the signal might be a bit bad. Youre running around again, Tom Wayne said, Alright, I wont talk to you anymore. Just remember what I said. Mhm. Kevin rk raised his hand and gently rubbed Daisy Zanes shining lips with his thumb, I will definitely obey Mothersmand. When he hung up the call, Daisy Zane clenched her fist and hit him. Kevin rk immediately bent down, resting his head on Daisy Zanes shoulder and hugging her, Lucia, that hurts. Bullshit. Kevin rk chuckled and hugged her even tighter, It really hurts. I didnt even use any force. I know. Kevin rkughed, Lucia cant bear it. Daisy Zane: . Dont be mad, Kevin rk said, I did it because I was afraid Lucia would get shy. What if Lucia really wanted to, but was too embarrassed? I had to take the initiative. Youre really a quick learner. My mom taught her son well, Kevin rkughed. Daisy Zane: . Lucia, it really hurts a little, Kevin rk said as his hug tightened, My lips also hurt a bit from the bite. Daisy Zane inhaled sharply and thought: Hes such a scoundrel.. Chapter 148 - 139: Disturbing the Lovebirds Chapter 148: Chapter 139: Disturbing the Lovebirds Trantor: 549690339 Originally, she wanted to go back to the Imperial Capital to see Charles Amos, but she was dyed for a day. After having lunch the next day, Daisy Zane went straight back to the drama crew. She couldnt make it. In the afternoon, Kevin rk apanied her to the drama crew. As the two were in the car, he said, Ill go back to the Imperial Capital in a few days and bring Charles Amos here. When theres no show in the evenings, you can still go back to the Evesting Pce to see him. Its too much trouble. But if you dont go back for a long time, hell miss you. Kevin rk said, matter how mature his mind is, he still needs you. Daisy Zane didnt say anything. Michael Jackson will be back in a few days, too. Kevin rk said, If those two cant even protect a child, what are they good for? Fine. Daisy Zane said, By the way, ask Wilton Edwards if hes willing toe and let hime over, too. If theyre apart for too long, Wilton Edwards will miss the child. Okay. Fine. Daisy Zane fell asleep in the car for a while. When she woke up, they were almost at the hotel where the drama crew was staying. She touched her neck and looked outside, asking, Can Naomi Nelsone back tomorrow? Kevin rk reached out to touch her neck and closed his cell phone, saying, Yes. Juan Wright just sent me a message. Is the issue resolved? Yes, Kevin rk said. But Olivia Chester took all of Amelia Miles problems upon herself. She said that she did everything and used Amelia Miles cell phone, and the new cell phone was bought by Amelia Miles for her. As for those matters, Amelia Miles had no idea. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow slightly in surprise, What does Amelia Miles say? She just keeps saying she doesnt know anything. Kevin rk said, She insists she doesnt know anything. So what do you n to do? Daisy Zane asked. Of course to Kevin rk was about to say to crush Amelia Miles with evidence, but he felt Daisy Zane had other ns, so he changed the topic, What does Daisy Zane want to do? Since Olivia Chester is desperate to protect her, let Amelia Miles out. Daisy Zane said, Maybe life outside is worse for her than inside. Kevin rk immediately understood and smiled, Arent you afraid shell cause you trouble? Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk and thenughed softly, From now on, shell be the one who hides from me. Alright, Ill let Juan Wright back off then. Yes. Daisy Zane looked out the window in silence for a moment and said, It seems that no matter how vicious a person is, they always have someone to care about. Over the years, Olivia Chesters actions have been thoroughly investigated. Her artists have been implicated as well. Kevin rk said, Knowing that she cant get out no matter what, she just took Amelia Miles matters upon herself. She always treated Amelia Miles as her own daughter, so she naturally cared about her. Maybe Amelia Miles nned this from the moment she started using Olivia Chesters identity to apply for the cell phone card. Daisy Zane said, Once discovered, Olivia Chester would take the me. That possibility is not excluded. Kevin rk said. After Amelia Miles was released, she was picked up by John Anderson. From the police station entrance to her apartment, Amelia Miles cried continuously. She wouldnt say anything other than that she was scared. Seeing her like this, John Anderson was heartbroken and stopped asking questions. He stayed up all night with her,forting her. The next morning, because Olivia Chester was arrested, several artists in thepany were also implicated. Maple Elite Entertainment suffered unprecedented damage, and thepany was in chaos. The media almost blocked the ground floor. There was no other choice. John Anderson called Charles Hobson and asked him toe to the apartment to apany Amelia Miles while he hurried back to thepany. Although thepany had been continuously calling John Anderson, he still waited for Charles Hobson to arrive before leaving. Charles, Sophie is terrified. John Anderson said, Please apany her. I really cant leave thepany. Charles Hobsons eyes were swollen and red, clearly from crying, Alright, you go ahead, dont worry about this side. Alright. Charles Hobson saw John Anderson leave, and his expression immediately turned cold. He went to the bedchamber and saw Amelia Miles sitting on the bay window, looking at him. There was not a trace of fear on her face, which was very calm. Even her expression seemed to imply that everything was still going ording to her n.. Chapter 149 - 139: Disturbing the Lovebirds 2 Chapter 149: Chapter 139: Disturbing the Lovebirds 2 Trantor: 549690339 When Charles Hobson saw this, he walked over and pped her, shouting in a low voice, Amelia Miles, she is your Aunt ire, who has watched you grow up since you were a child! She treated you like her own daughter! How can you calcte this way against her? Yesterday when Amelia came out, Johanes Miles had someone inquire about some internal news and roughly learned what had happened. Johanes and Old Master Miles didnt notice this, but how could Charles not know when Amelia was his daughter? Amelia raised her hand to wipe the area where she was pped, her expression unchanged, Mom, you cant me me for this. If you had any way to keep Daisy Zane from entering the Miles Family gates and not stealing my status as the youngdy of the Miles Family, I wouldnt havee to such a desperate situation. Then go and harm Olivia Chester! If Aunt ire is clean and innocent, how would she willingly take on the responsibility for me? Amelia said, her expression still unchanged, but tears fell from her eyes. She knew she couldnt get out anyway, so she wanted to protect me. Whether or not this happens to me has no effect on her. Charles covered her mouth and silently started to cry, What will Aunt ire do inside? How will she bear this kind of punishment? Amelia stood up and hugged Charles, whispering, Mom, you should think about it. Its not your daughter who was sent in. If it wasnt for her, it would be me. Also either way, Daisy Zane cant enter the Miles Family door now. Dad has publicly fallen out with her. But your Aunt ire I will repay Aunt ires efforts. Amelias eyes were hollow, staring nkly at Charless back, mechanically saying, I will repay Aunt ires efforts. At this time in the Miles Family, Old Master Miles and Lorenzo Jasper were sitting in the study, and no one spoke. The study felt suffocatingly quiet for a moment. Yesterday, Johanes Miles had someone inquire about Amelias news. After the inquiry, the person was probably a little busy, only exined the situation to him roughly, and then was gone. Johanes sent a few words of thankster, but there was no response from the other side. It wasnt until today that they responded. After some casual greetings, the other side sent a few lines. [Director Miles, Daisy Zane is your daughter, right? You are really blessed to have such a capable daughter.] Johanes was dumbfounded when he saw this. He thought about it back and forth for a long time before replying with a message to ask a question. The answer came back quickly. [Director Miles, I cant say too much about the specifics. One thing I can reveal is that your daughter has deep connections with the Imperial Capital. I dont need to say much about the Imperial Capital, you just have to think hard about it.] Johanes showed these two messages to Old Master Miles. Then the two fell silent. Originally, after the official website rified the matter, the Old Master regretted it. Their actions had been too hasty C they had severed ties too quickly. They should have withstood the pressure and waited a little longer. Who knew now they had gotten this news After a long time, Johanes said, Find an opportunity to mend the rtionship. Can it be repaired? Things are done slowly by people. Old Master sighed and said, There will always be opportunities. Johanes took a deep breath. He was not worried about whether they could mend the rtionship now. He was more worried that Daisy Zane would take action against the Miles Family. His heart felt uneasy. Harton rk apanied Daisy Zane for two days before returning to Imperial Capital. Upon arriving, he first went to see Charles Amos and yed with him for half a day before heading to his own home. What he didnt know was that his mother was pushing his girlfriend towards his nephew at that time. Imperial Capital C rk Manor- Hugo rk finally returned, and as soon as he sat down on the Spring and Autumn Chair, he hadnt even warmed it up when Tom Wayne suddenly asked, Hugo, did you contact the girl from the mobile number I gave youst time? Hugo had always had a mature look since he was a child. His looks were not like Harton rks C full of charm and refinement. He had a clean and handsome appearance. He had the appearance of a sunny boy, but he just happened to have a serious personality. So, his appearance seemed cautious and reserved. When he heard this, his hand holding the teacup paused, and then he said, I did. Oh. Tom Wayne looked at him and said casually, What is herst name? Hugo took a sip of tea. Its Zhao. Is that so? Yes. Tom Wayne picked up the book from the tea table and hit him on the back. You liar! Hugo was startled, and the tea in his cup spilled on his hand. You said herst name is Zhao, the next time I introduce you to a girl, youll probably lie to me and say herst name is Cash. Youre ying around with surnames with me. Tom Wayne said exasperatedly. Grandma, I Hugo moved to the side, fearing she would hit him again. He grabbed a few pieces of paper and wiped his hands. Dont call me grandma. I dont want a grandson like you, Tom Wayne threw the book on the tea table. And you want to deceive me! The girlsst name is clearly Tang. Hugo: He should have said herst name was Tang. Her name is Daisy Zane. When Hugo heard these three words, he nearly choked on his breath. What what is her name? Daisy Zane! Tom Wayne said, Shes also a superstar and a famous screenwriter. Hugos forehead twitched, and he had a vague feeling of unease. Grandma, why dont you introduce her to Third Uncle? Your Third Uncle has a girlfriend. Why would I introduce her to him? Tom Wayne picked up the book and hit him again. Your Third Uncle already has a girlfriend, you fool. Third Uncle is an elder. He should have one, right? Youre older too. Let me tell you, when men get too old, their bodies will fail them. Hugos face darkened: What was she talking about? He was still healthy. Tom Wayne didnt pay attention to his expression and sighed, Since you dont want to, lets forget it. I heard the girl has a bad reputation and background. Our kind of family. Chapter 150 - 140: We Are Not Compatible Chapter 150: Chapter 140: We Are Not Compatible Trantor: 549690339 Youre at home. Thats rare. When Kevin rk got home, he walked into the living room and saw Natalie Wayne winding yarn, with Hugo rk acting as a tool, holding the yarn for her with both hands. Hugo rk heard the sound, nced at him, and then calmly called out, Third Uncle. Kevin rk nced at him but didnt respond. When Natalie saw himing back, her eyes lit up. But she only looked at him for a moment before craning her neck to look behind him. Kevin rk took off his coat and handed it to a servant nearby, smiling, Mom, what are you looking at? Did youe back alone? When have I ever note back alone? Wheres my daughter-inw? Natalie stared at him and said, What are youing back alone for? I called you back to see my daughter-inw! So am I out of favor in this house? Kevin rk said amusingly. Natalie gave him a re and ignored him. Kevin rk washed his hands and sat across from them, Mom, youll see her sooner orter, no need to be anxious right now. So I wont be able to hold my grandson before the New Year? Mom, you already have grandsons and granddaughters. I think you can consider holding your great-grandson before the New Year. Kevin rk looked at Hugo rk. Although there was a smile on his face, it was the kind that made people feel rmed. Hugo rk raised his eyes to meet his gaze, a stern expression on his face. He also looked quite intimidating. Hugo, hurry up a bit, theres still time. Third Uncle has a girlfriend, so his progress should be quicker. Hugo rk nced at the bracelet on his wrist and counterattacked. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, Thats true, I have a girlfriend. Then he changed to an elders tone, Hugo, youre not getting any younger. You should take care of your personal matters too. As your third uncle, Im worried about you. No need for Third Uncle to worry. Hugo rk said. If you had gotten married at a normal age, our family would have had four generations living together by now. Hugo rk: Natalie Wayne was winding the yarn to the side, as if she had directly blocked the two out of her sight, neither hearing their voices nor seeing the tense atmosphere between them. It seemed she was used to it. Only when he stopped talking did Kevin rk look at Natalie and ask, Wheres my father? In the North Court front hall. Natalie took a nce at him and said, Henry rk is here. Kevin rks expression paused for a moment, Why did hee? Henry rk was his fathers younger brother, sharing the same father but different mothers. He was more than twenty years younger than his father. He would have to call him Second Uncle, and Hugo rk would have to call him Grandfather. But more than ten years ago, he was sent abroad by his father and had never returned since. He said he was held up during the Chinese New Year, so he came to see everyone. Natalie exined. Kevin rk exchanged a nce with Hugo rk, then stood up and said, I havent seen this Second Uncle for a long time. Ill go see how hes still alive. Natalie looked at him but didnt speak, letting him go. When Kevin rk returned, more than an hour had passed. Natalies knitted sweater hade a little way along in her hands. Hugo rk had been apanying her the whole time. He saw that Kevin rk hadnte to the living room when he returned, and instead was standing in the corridor. Only Elina rk entered. Grandpa. Hugo rk called out to someone. Hmm. Elina rk replied, Your Third Uncle is outside. Hmm. Hugo rk put the yarn on the side neatly and got up to leave. Kevin rk was in the hallway texting Daisy Zane and heard footsteps. He turned around and looked. Hugo rk lit a cigarette and asked, Does Henry rk not want to leave? He said hes just here to visit and would leave the day after tomorrow. Kevin rk didnt lift his head, He came to apologize, crying and kneeling. Its a pity he didnt get on our familys stage. Is that so? Hugo rk asked. Thats what he said. Kevin rk put his phone in his pocket, Be careful with everything. Hmm. Hugo rk replied, You should also be careful on your end, in case he tries something on the people around you. Kevin rk naturally knew that he was referring to Daisy Zane, and heughed and said, He can try. Hugo rk nced at him, not saying anything. However he has a better chance of winning me over. Kevin rk said, After all, you are the eldest grandson, and the rk Family is now under your control. I have nothing in my hands. Besides, we dont get along. Hugo rk: Truro City It was early in the morning, aroundm, when Daisy Zane finished work and returned to her hotel. She and Anisa Cooper got off the car at the parking lot. The drivers ce was closer to another elevator, so they parted ways. The two women walked toward the elevator, Anisa held a makeup box and said, Daisy, Third Master told me to make sure you drink the throat protecting medicine before going to sleep. Daisy Zane: No need to listen to his nonsense. Anisa smiled and said, But if I dont watch, Daisy definitely wont drink it. Daisy Zane: . People are not here, yet they wont let others live in peace. As she was mentallyining, suddenly a figure walked past from the side. Daisy Zane caught a glimpse with her peripheral vision but didnt pay attention. It was Anisa who turned her head and saw that man staring at Daisy Zane with a somewhat lewd look. She moved closer to Daisy Zane, then red at the man. He was dressed in a suspicious manner and had a sleazy face. Daisy, lets hurry up, Anisa whispered and went to press the elevator button first. The elevator was on the third floor and soon came down. Anisa quickly pulled Daisy Zane into the elevator. Just as Anisa pressed the close button, the man walked a few steps quickly and raised his hand to block the elevator. The elevator door that was about to close opened again. With no one around, Anisa was startled when the mans hand suddenly appeared. Benjamin Hobson stood outside the elevator with a gentlemanly smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Daisy Zane, and said, Sorry. I dont mind sharing. He didnt wait for them to respond and walked into the elevator. Anisa was on guard, watching him. Daisy Zane saw his eyes were always on her, so she turned to look at him, Whats up? The elevator closed. Benjamin Hobson chuckled inwardly, thinking that she would bring herself up without him making a move. What a flirt. Are you filming here? Benjamin Hobson asked. Daisy Zane looked at him coldly and slowly uttered three words: Speak properly. Feeling a bit rushed, Benjamin Hobsons smile on his face became even more frivolous: Miss, are you alone tonight? So am I. What do you want? Anisa stepped in front of Daisy Zane. Benjamin Hobson nced at Anisa, who was also quite good-looking. Butpared to Daisy Zane, she was far worse. Despite Anisa being half a head taller, Daisy Zane locked eyes with Benjamin Hobson: Yes, indeed, alone. The smile on Benjamin Hobsons face deepened: Then tonight Miss, would you like to Benjamin paused for a moment and then thought of a word that sounded elegant and romantic: spend the night with me? Anisa rolled her eyes. Daisy Zane wore a mask, and with her make-up removed at the drama crew, her hair was casually tied, a bit messy. Her phoenix eyes had no make-up, the corners lifted upward, indifferent, and coldly beautiful. She didnt speak but nced at the floor number C the 12th floor. She pressed the button for the 14th floor and pulled Anisa to stand behind her. Daisy Daisy Zane squeezed Anisas hand to reassure her. Watching her actions, Benjamin Hobson chuckled: So the miss has a secret ce all to herself. After he finished his sentence, the elevator door opened on the 14th floor. Daisy Zane looked outside and gestured for the man to go out first. Benjamin Hobson smirked ambiguously and walked out. But as soon as he took a step out, Daisy Zane kicked him out with her foot. With that force, Benjamin Hobson fell straight on the floor outside the elevator. Damn it! What the fC - Benjamin Hobsons chin rubbed against the floor, leaving a faint bloody mark. Anisa was startled and saw the man getting up. As soon as she reacted, she quickly pressed the close button, afraid that he would hit Daisy Zane after getting up. But Daisy Zane held the elevator and looked at him. The fierceness in her eyes made Benjamin Hobson, who had just stood up, freeze in ce, and he swallowed the curse words he wanted to say. Donte to disgust me again. Thezy voice carried an immeasurable disdain. Benjamin Hobsons chest heaved a bit, as did his legs. Clearly, he was angered by her words but afraid to make a move. Did you hear me? Daisy Zane said again. Just a light, fluttering sentence, but it was as sharp as a knife. Yes, yes, I heard. Benjamin Hobson instinctively answered her. Getting a response, Daisy Zane let go of the elevator. The door slowly closed and went up. Anisa breathed a sigh of relief as well, standing behind Daisy Zane and peeking at her. Her eyes were full of admiration, like stars. Daisy Zane checked the time on her cell phone, and then sent a message to Holt Lawrence: [Ferdason Hotel, East Side Elevator, 14th-floor surveince, less than a minute ago, clean it up.] On the 14th floor, Benjamin Hobson watched the elevator go up. After being stunned for a while, he kicked the trash can next to him. Damn! Bitch! What purity are you pretending?! Sooner orter, Ill get you in my hands. Hiss He cursed, touched his chin, and then rubbed his knee, It hurts like hell.. Damn it! Chapter 151 - 141: Benjamin Hobson Gets Tragically Cleaned Up Chapter 151: Chapter 141: Benjamin Hobson Gets Tragically Cleaned Up Trantor: 549690339 Daisy, heres your water. Daisy Zane had just finished discussing the next scene with the director. Anisa Cooper noticed her pale face and handed her water. She took a sip and realized it was brown sugar water, and gave Anisa a nce. I just bought it, Anisa whispered, Daisy, your period is so irregr, its more than two weeks early this time. Daisy Zane took another sip of the brown sugar water. She wanted to say that her period was already very regr. It had been going on for a long time without missing a month. There used to be months when it didnte at all. Now that its finally noting, it starts happening every month again. Daisy, is it very painful? Your face looks bad. No, Daisy Zane said, Luckily, my character in this scene doesnt require a goodplexion. Should I go back to the hotel and get you some painkillers? Anisa suggested. No need, Daisy Zane drank all the brown sugar water and handed the ss back, We have three scenes left to shoot today. Ill take them when were done. Im fine. After saying that, Daisy Zane went to continue filming. After finishing the three scenes, they returned to the hotel around 9:00 PM. Daisy Zane went back to the hotel, washed up, and went to bed. Anisa waited until she was asleep before going to her own room. As soon as she got to her room, she received a call from the driver. The drivers wife suddenly went intobor early, and he had to go back immediately. He definitely couldnt make it back tomorrow, so he needed to leave the nanny car key behind. The driver had already mentioned this to Daisy Zane, saying that he might need to take a few days off. Daisy agreed at the time, but didnt expectbor toe so suddenly. He was in a hurry, so he called a taxi and rushed out. After several miles, he realized that the car key was still with him, and hurriedly asked Mr. Driver to turn back to the hotel. Anisa heard this and immediately went downstairs to get the car key. The drivers legs were so weak from nervousness that he couldnt even get out of the car. Anisa had to run over to the taxi to get it. After getting the car key, Anisa watched their car leave before turning to walk back to the hotel. However, after taking only two steps, a ck car suddenly stopped at the entrance. The tires screeched loudly against the pavement as the car stopped abruptly. Anisa was startled and reflexively looked back. But before she could get a clear look, the back door of the ck car was pulled open, and she was dragged into the car. After taking the painkillers, Daisy Zane fell asleep. But she was soon awakened by her ringing cell phone. In the silent darkness of night, the ringing sounded like a heavy blow against the quiet. Daisy Zane opened her eyes, picked up her cell phone, and saw that the call was from Anisa Cooper. Her heart sank. She immediately answered the call. Before she could say anything, the other side spoke first. A panicked and urgent shout: Daisy! Im at the back of the hotel Before finishing the sentence, with apanying angry yelling, chaos, and Anisas screams, the call was disconnected. Daisy Zane immediately sat up and sent Anisas mobile number to Holt Lawrence. Then she got out of bed, grabbed her down jacket, and called Holt: I just sent you a phone number, locate it for me. After finishing the sentence and hanging up, she walked out while putting on her down jacket. She was still wearing pajama pants and cotton slippers. As she got to the elevator, Holt sent her a location map. Daisy Zane pressed the elevator button and zoomed in on the map. It was in the alley behind the hotel. However, she couldnt be sure if Anisa was there, because her cell phone might have been thrown away. Obviously, Holt had thought of that, too. He quickly sent a voice message, Theres no surveince in the alley. Theres only surveince at both ends of the entrance. ording to the cell phones location timeline, at the same time a car entered the alley and hasnt been seen leaving yet. The license te number is Daisy Zane left the hotel and ran toward the back alley. The alley was very dark, without a single streetmp. However, after turning a corner in the alley, she saw a car parked there, headlights on. First, she saw the car swaying. Then she heard Anisas crying and screaming. She couldnt tell if it was an illusion, but it seemed like Anisa was yelling Daisy, save me. She ran a few more steps, and suddenly a man jumped out from the side and stood in front of her. It was the driver from earlier. What are you Before he could finish speaking, Daisy Zane grabbed his cor and mmed him against the wall. Fast in speed and great in strength. With a muffled thud, the sound of the body hitting the wall. The driver seemed to hear the crisp sound of his bones breaking somewhere. But his whole body was swept by pain, and he didnt know where the problem was. Daisy Zane threw him against the wall and let go, running forward. Like a puddle of mud, the driver copsed against the wall. Daisy Zane ran to the side of the car at the fastest speed, pulling the rear car door, but unable to open it. She looked around, picked up a stone from the side of the wall, swung it one-handed, and smashed it at the car window. The car window shattered, and the man inside was instantly frightened andy directly on Anisa Cooper. Anisa had been struggling, and after the many on her, his legs pressed against her and the hand that gripped her wrist loosened a bit. Anisa pushed with her legs, struggling even harder. The man turned his head to look outside, and Daisy Zane had already reached in from inside to open the car door. In that instant when their four eyes met, Daisy Zane recognized the man as the one who had kicked her out of the elevator. And a fleeting malice shed in Benjamin Hobsons eyes, as he got up and said, Youre here too, perfect, tonight Ill y with both of you together Daisy Zane pulled him out of the car and grabbed his hair, mming his head hard against the car. Blood gushed from Benjamins forehead in an instant, and he saw stars before copsing onto the ground. Daisy Zanes eyes were red like bloodstains, and she saw that Anisas blouse had been torn open, with more than one p mark on her face. Her hair was a mess mixed with tears, smearing her face. Daisy, Daisy Anisa quickly sat up, hugging Daisy Zane with uncontroble trembling, sobbing and calling her name. Its okay now. Daisy Zane stroked her head, Its okay. Anisa hugged Daisy Zane tightly and cried incessantly. Daisy Zaneforted her, waiting for her to catch her breath a little. She let her go, buttoned her blouse and straightened her clothes. Then she picked up her coat from the bottom of the car seat and draped it over her. Dont cry anymore. Daisy Zanes voice was still devoid of any warmth, even colder than usual, but it gave a sense of security. She wiped the tears from Anisas face and said, Sit here for a while, and well be back soon. Okay. Daisy Zane got out of the car and Benjamin was still sitting by it. His belt was undone and the buttons and zippers on his pants were open. She walked slowly over to him and just grabbed his cor. The look on Benjamins face turned fierce, and a spring knife suddenly appeared in his hand, stabbing straight at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane tilted her head in the nick of time, calcting the distance as the knife brushed against her neck, leaving a shallow cut on her fair skin. She achieved her goal, raised her hand to grab his wrist, and twisted it forcefully. With a crisp sound, the spring knife fell to the ground, and Benjamin screamed. The driver in the distance was startled by the scream. Enduring the sharp pain in his body, he shivered as he took out his cell phone and called the police. Hello, police? Theres a murder happening here. Help, help! The driver was so scared that he couldnt speak fluently anymore. On this end, Daisy Zane grabbed the mans cor and lifted him up, walked a few steps to the side, and threw him against the wall. Benjamin had never been beaten like this before, with blood all over his face and his wrist dislocated. His chest heaved rapidly, each breath as painful as a stab to his heart. Didnt I say, dont disgust me again in front of my eyes? Daisy Zane kicked him one more time. Benjamin was directly kicked a meter away, and as he saw Daisy Zane step closer to him, he shouted, Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane Im Benjamin, Im Benjamin. Daisy Zane stopped beside him and looked down at him. Im from the Imperial Capital Hobson Family, my uncle is Johanes Miles. Benjamin endured the pain, Our families are rted, were rted. Daisy Zane listened to him, snorted with augh, and stepped on his fingers, Charles Hobson, relying on the power of the Hobson Family, interfered in Johanes Miles marriage. The person I hate most is her, so since youre his nephew, lets pay you back too. It was clearly your mother who interfered in my aunts marriage Ah! Daisy Zane kicked him again in the ribs, and Benjamin let out a miserable scream. And then, another kick to his facethis time, he didnt make a sound, spitting out blood and losing a tooth. When she was about to hit him again, Anisa suddenly ran over and hugged Daisy: Daisy, enough, let it go. If you keep hitting him, hell die. Daisy Zane looked down at Benjamin, as if looking at some insect, Whats the use of keeping such a cheap life? Benjamin, lying on the ground, trembled in pain. Blood, sweat, and tears mixed with the dirt on the ground, covering his face, making him look incredibly pathetic. Anisa hugged Daisy Zane tighter, crying, Daisy, please stop hitting him, Im scared, Im scared! Chapter 152 - 142: The Hobson Group Couple Comes to Truro City Chapter 152: Chapter 142: The Hobson Group Couple Comes to Truro City Trantor: 549690339 After the police arrived, Daisy Zane, Anisa Cooper, and the driver who drove Benjamin Hobson were all taken back to the police station. Due to severe injuries, Benjamin Hobson was sent to the hospital, and the Hobson couple rushed to the hospital overnight from the Imperial Capital after getting the news. By the time they arrived, Charles Hobson and Johanes Miles were already at the hospital. What happened? Whats going on? Mrs. Hobsons eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling, How is Benjamin? How is he doing? Sister-inw, dont worry first. Benjamin is not in critical condition, but he is severely injured. Charles Hobson said, holding her hand. How is he doing? Uncle Horton asked again. Two broken ribs, lost two teeth, right wrist dislocation, Charles Hobson said, also, a moderate concussion. Theres a wound on the head, it was stitched up with five stitches. The doctor said he lost a lot of blood. As she spoke, Johanes Miles didnt say a word on the side, and his expression was quite serious. Listening to this, Mrs. Hobson burst into tears. Uncle Hortons face tightened, and his expression was serious. No matter how mischievous his son was, he was still his son. He naturally felt heartache seeing him suffer such serious injuries. Sister-inw, stop crying, said Charles Hobson. Benjamin hase out of the rescue room and is now in the ward. Lets go see him. The four immediately went to the ward together. Benjamin Hobson was conscious but couldnt move on the bed. Only his eyes and mouth could move. The left side of his face was swollen to the size of a fist, even his lips were swollen. The wound on his head must also be swollen, but it was wrapped in gauze like it was wrapped very thickly. The injuries in other ces couldnt be seen because they were covered with a quilt. Benjamin, Benjamin. Mrs. Hobsonid on the bed crying, wanting to touch her sons face but not knowing where to start, in the end, she could only hold his hand, Benjamin, does it hurt a lot? Benjamin looked at his parents and struggled to open his lips and make a sound: DadMom Its, its Daisy Zane, its Daisy Zane, its Daisy Zane. He kept repeating this sentenceboriously. Who? Daisy Zane? Uncle Horton asked. Its her, its her. Benjamin Hobson said, Dad, you help me kill her, kill her. The Hobsons both turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Jasper. Johanes Miles always held a grim face, without any superfluous expression. Charles Hobson nodded and said: Daisy Zane is now at the police station. Johanes, your good daughter really has some skills, to beat someone up like this. Is she a bandit? A robber? Uncle Horton said. All these years, Uncle Horton always talked to Johanes Miles in this tone. Its more like Johanes Miles had gradually ignored it and didnt take it to heart anymore, instead of being used to it. Johanes Miles didnt say anything, and Uncle Horton continued: You want to recognize such a person as family. Dont you find it a disgrace? Brother, you should say less. Charles Hobson interrupted him in time, This is not the time to say these things. Uncle Horton nced at Charles Hobson and said: Ill leave my words here today, I wont let her off for beating Benjamin like this. Whoever dares to stop me, dont me me for falling out. Brother, of course we all stand by Benjamin. Charles Hobson said. Uncle Horton snorted coldly, looking at his son on the sick bed and his crying wife, and said: You stay here, Im going to the police station. Ill go with you. Mrs. Hobson said, That girl beat my son like this, I must see her end up in jail. Alright. Uncle Horton said, Charles, you stay here with Benjamin. Okay. Charles Hobson nodded, and exchanged a nce with Uncle Horton, You guys go ahead, Benjamin is with me. Johanes Miles didnt stop them either. This was a good opportunity for him to probe whether the power behind Daisy Zane was really that strong. On the way from the hospital to the police station, Uncle Horton was constantly contacting his connections. He was determined to see Daisy Zane rot in jail. Soon, a call from Charles Hobson came: Brother, the force behind that girl is not simple. Uncle Horton snorted contemptuously: What power can she have? Harry Anderson? The kind of person who wants to preserve his own safety, would he get involved in this? He would be more likely to hide. Charles Hobson said: Possibly even bigger than Harry Andersons power. I overheard it from the conversation between the Old Master and Johanes Miles. So, they still want to take that girl back, do they? Mrs. Hobson nced at Mr. Hobson, the murderous intent and cruelty in her eyes seemed to be overflowing. Lets not talk about our familys affairs for now, Charles Hobson said, now the most important thing is Benjamin Hobson. You have to find someone with some strong influence. Alright, I understand, Mr. Hobson said, you just wait for the good news. Not to mention entering the Miles familys house, I wont even let her set foot out of the police station. After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Hobson asked, Is there anyone we can find for help? I heard a while ago that Diego Giovanni was transferred to Truro Police Department, as Deputy Director. Diego Giovanni? Yes. Mr. Hobson was flipping through his contacts, He is a highly capable person. Cold-faced but ruthless. Theres nothing he cant achieve if he wants to. He has solved multiple major suspect cases, living on the edge. He has a powerful force behind him. Despite being a Deputy Director, everyone tends to have great respect for him. He even holds great influence in the Capital. But will such a person help us? Probably. Mr. Hobson said, Ive had dinner with Mr. Santiago and him. Mr. Santiago knows him from way back, and they share a good rtionship. Diego Giovanni is ruthless, but he values loyalty. Besides, this matter is not a big deal to him. We have already found awyer, he just needs to settle the rest. Then get in touch with him now. Im going to call Mr. Santiago right now. Mr. Hobson paused, This time I need to sort out this Daisy Zane. The Hobson couple arrived at the entrance of the police station but didnt go in immediately. Instead, they waited for news from Mr. Santiago. When they received the news that Diego Giovanni would arrive at the police station soon, they, along with their attorney, entered the station. At the time of their entry, Daisy Zane, Anisa Cooper, and the driver were all sitting in the interrogation room. Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper were seated on a long bench. Daisy Zane was leaning against the chair with her eyes closed, the zipper of her down jacket pulled uppletely. Her hands were tucked into her pockets, she was wearing cotton slippers and pajama trousers. Her posture seemed quite rxed. But Anisa Cooper, sitting beside her, didnt seem to be feeling good. Sitting upright, her eyes swollen from crying, she was ring at the driver sitting in front of them, her gaze empty yet fierce. One of her hands was being held by Daisy Zane and kept warmed inside her pocket. Two hours ago, after being questioned by the police, Daisy Zane had called herwyer. But thewyer was in the Capital, and it would take him at least two more hours to get there. No one came from the other side, so they continued to wait inside. What they didnt know was that, two hours ago, Harton rk had also received the news and was rushing over. When Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper were brought to the police station, William saw them. He asked a few brief questions, and then immediately called Juan Wright. After Juan Wright knew, he immediately informed Harton rk. While everyone was waiting in silence, the door to the interrogation room was opened. Anisa Cooper suddenly looked towards the entrance, swallowing nervously. Daisy Zane, I am going to kill you! When Mrs. Hobson came in and saw Daisy Zane, she strode forward intending to hit her. But she was promptly stopped by the police. Daisy Zane slowly opened her eyes and nced at Mr. and Mrs. Hobson, as well as thewyer behind them. She took a brief look at them and then retreated her gaze, tightly holding Anisa Coopers cold hand. Daisy Zane, have you any respect for thew? Whats happened to my son? You hit him so viciously. Were you trying to kill him? Mrs. Hobson cried and yelled. Daisy Zane held Anisa Coopers fingers as if she hadnt heard her, not lifting her eyes in the slightest. Miss Zane Wait for mywyer. Thewyer behind them immediately came forward as he heard and said formally, Hello, Miss Zane. I am Benjamin Hobsonswyer Daisy Zane looked up at him, her gaze cold and ruthless. She wasnt in the mood to waste too many words at the moment. She had just exined everything to the police and would have to repeat all of it with thewyer who would arrive in a while. She didnt have the patience to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Cant you understand? Wait for mywyer.. Chapter 153 - 143: Heading to Truro City Chapter 153: Chapter 143: Heading to Truro City Trantor: 549690339 Truro Airport Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson hurriedly walked out. As they came out of the airport, they happened to see someone else walking out as well, looking quite anxious. Allonzo Hobson nced at the person and, upon seeing his face, his eyes lit up for a moment: Lawyer Allen? The man next to him heard someone calling him and turned his head to look. After seeing Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson, he hesitated for a moment before saying, Third Master, Young Master Hobson. Lawyer Allen, whose full name is Austin Allen, is an elitewyer in the Imperial Capital. So far, he has never lost a case. Since they had run into each other, there was no need not to make use of him. Allonzo Hobson asked, Is Lawyer Allen here on business in Truro City? Is it urgent? Austin Allen wore gold-rimmed sses and a grey suit, carrying his coat in his hand. He looked refined and gentlemanly. When he spoke, the corner of his mouth always carried a gentle smile, Its fine. We have an urgent matter, Allonzo Hobson said. Since your matter is fine, take care of ours first. Young Master Hobson, Im sorry. Although the matter is not urgent, my client is in the Police Station Truro Police Department? Yes. Kevin rk turned his head to nce at him. Allonzo Hobson grabbed his arm and said, Great, were going to Truro Police Department too. Lets go together. You can handle both matters at once. Austin Allen stumbled a step as he was pulled and adjusted his sses before saying, Alright then. Inside the police station, due to Daisy Zanes refusal tomunicate, the two groups of people could only wait in the interrogation chamber. About twenty minutester, the door to the interrogation room was knocked, and a police officer came in and said, Lady Zaneswyer has arrived. The Hobson couple and theirwyer stood up, all looking prepared for battle with a determined air. After the police officer outside the door finished speaking, Austin Allen entered the interrogation chamber. He nced around courteously and said, I am Lady Zaneswyer, Austin Allen. Upon finishing this sentence, not only did the people inside the interrogation room freeze, but even Kevin rk, Allonzo Hobson, and Juan Wright, who were about to enter the room, stopped in their tracks. Austin Allen hade to the police station with Kevin rk and the others. However, after arriving at the police station, Kevin rk saw William first and learned from him what had happened. Meanwhile, Austin Allen separated from them and followed the standard procedure to enter the interrogation room. So Austin Allen was a step ahead of them when he introduced himself inside. Kevin rk and the others had just arrived at the door of the interrogation room. The expression on Kevin rks face was rtively calm. However, Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright lookedpletely shocked. After twitching his mouth a couple of times, Allonzo Hobson muttered quietly, Now, the two matters havebined into one. Juan Wright was silent for a moment before saying, Lady Zanes friends seem to be a littleplicated. Those in the interrogation room were frightened by the name Austin Allen. In the legal profession, his name was a gold-lettered signboard that instilled fear in anyone who saw him on the opposing side. The most obvious example was thewyer hired by the Hobson couple. His eyes were filled with fear, but also with fighting spirit. Such a living signboard walking in the legal profession, who wouldnt want to challenge and defeat him, and make a name for themselves in one battle? What he didnt know was that most of those who had been defeated by Austin Allen in the past had held the same mindset, only to be thoroughly crushed by him, making them doubt their own lives. Upon hearing the sound, Daisy Zane slowly opened her eyes and looked at Austin Allen. After Austin Allen introduced himself, he looked at her and smiled warmly, giving her a reassuring look. Upon his arrival, the police officer looked at the three people by the door and asked, Whats going on with the three of you outside? Allonzo Hobson started to speak but was interrupted by Kevin rk: Daisy Zanes family. Hearing the voice, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. A flicker of joy shed clearly in her eyes, but it quickly calmed down. Anisa Coopers eyes lit up as well, as if a child saw their fathering to back them up. Austin Allen furrowed his eyebrows slightly and was about to turn to look at Kevin rk and the others when Mrs. Hobson spoke up. Thewyer is here. Lets hurry up. My son is still lying in the hospital. Since hes already in the hospital, whats the rush? Cant wait toe in and have a meal at the public expense? Allonzo Hobson said while walking in. The three of them approached the interrogation room and stood directly on Daisy Zanes side. Young Master Hobson? Uncle Horton recognized Allonzo Hobson. However, he didnt know Kevin rk, so he thought: It turns out Allonzo Hobson is the person behind Daisy Zane. Allonzo Hobson gave a fake smile but didnt respond. Kevin rk didnt look at the others, instead focusing his attention on Daisy Zane. Seeing her wearing pajama pants and slippers, he frowned. His eyes deepened, especially when he saw the red mark on her neck. He took off his coat and draped it over Daisy Zanes legs, touching her hand while doing so. It was very cold, as if it prated the bone. Comrade Police, you must uphold justice for us. Mrs. Hobson suddenly cried. My son was fine when he called mest night. Now hes lying in the hospital, unable to move. Hes injured all over. Daisy Zane is trying to take his life. Austin Allen adjusted his sses and said softly, Maam, you said your son was in the hospital unable to move. Do you have any evidence? The Hobson familyswyer immediately stepped forward and ced a report on the table in front of everyone: Lawyer Allen, this is the injury report for Daniel Horton. Austin Allen picked it up and looked at it, with Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright also taking a nce. As they saw the words broken ribs, lost teeth, and concussion on the report, Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright looked at each other, and both saw a sense of admiration in the others eyes. Whats your name? Austin Allen asked thewyer after looking at the report. Cash. Austin Allen politely smiled at him and then turned to look at Daisy Zane and asked, Lucia, what caused the conflict? Normally, he should have talked to Daisy Zane privately to understand the situation first, but since the other party was in a hurry, it didnt matter to start directly. After all, Daisy Zane would cooperate with him. This addressed caused Kevin rk to give him a nce. Daisy Zane sat down, casually looked at the couple and thewyer, and said slowly, He attempted murder. Youre talking nonsense! Mrs. Hobson said, Dont nder people. Do you have any evidence? The fingerprints on the dagger found by the police belong to your son. Daisy Zane then pointed to the bloodstain on her neck and continued, This wound here is also evidence. Kevin rk looked at the wound, and a storm seemed to pass through his eyes. A terrifying storm was brewing. With just that little skin-breaking wound, you want to use my son of attempted murder? Do you think everyone else is a fool? Luckily, its only a skin-breaking wound. If it had been one centimeter deeper, your son would be in the interrogation room being questioned. Austin Allens speech was slow and his tone was calm, but every word was powerful. Henry Hortons use of the knife was self-defense during the assault. Lawyer Richie argued, Lady Zanes injury doesnt even count as a minor injury Anisa Cooper stood up after hearing their attempts to shift the me and said, Henry Horton not only intended to kill, but he also tried to force me to have sex with him first. Lucia came to my rescue in time and saved me, so he wanted to kill her. You little girl, dont nder people with your empty mouth. Mrs.. Hobson pointed and scolded her, Youll be held legally responsible for talking nonsense here! Chapter 154 - 144: Diego Giovanni Chapter 154: Chapter 144: Diego Giovanni Trantor: 549690339 Madam, dont talk nonsense, or youll be arrestedter. Allonzo Hobson said, What kind of youngdy would use her own reputation to frame someone? Do you not know what kind of character your son has? Our little Miss isnt even married yet. If this has any impact on our reputation, we will sue you. Is her reputation more important than my sons life? My sons life is at stake. Mrs. Hobson said, What good reputation can she have? Birds of a feather flock together. If she dares to kill, they cant have a good reputation. The Hobson Family had already discussed with theirwyers outside the police station. They must hold Daisy Zane responsible for murder. Attempted murder carries a minimum sentence of three years. As long as shes jailed, theyll leave Diego Giovanni to handle the rest, and she wont get out. Maam, please watch yournguage. The police said. So what if she killed him? Kevin rk stood beside Daisy Zane and suddenly spoke. His voice was soft, soft enough to make people feel cold to the heart. The narrow eyes stared at the Hobson couple, as if they could tear them apart in the next second. The police frowned when they heard his words and were about to warn him. But when they looked at him, his aura choked the words. Before the police could speak again, Austin Allen had already spoken and immediately cooperated with Kevin rk, saying, ording to Article 20, Section 3 of the Criminal Law: If a person defends against someone who ismitting violent crimes such as murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, and other serious threats to personal safety, and the wrongful intruder is injured or killed, it does not constitute excessive defense and is not held criminally responsible. Austin Allen immediately brought the focus to Daisy Zanes legitimate defense. And the opposingwyer also immediately followed his thoughts. Lawyer Allen, judging from the multiple injuries on Benjamin Hobson, Miss Zanes defense has been excessive. the opposingwyer said. Austin Allen smiled slightly, Lawyer Richie, only having excessive defense or only having excessive results does not constitute excessive defense. Isnt that excessive results? Mr. Hobson said harshly. Of course not. Austin Allen replied, ording to the injury report, it wont cause his death or disability. Besides, do you have any evidence that Daisy Zanes defense was excessive? Arent the injuries on my sons body evidence? Mr. Hobson didnt fear Allonzo Hobson and his group at all. Diego Giovanni had already agreed. As long as Diego Giovanni confirmed it, he believed that Allonzo Hobson wouldnt risk taking action for a little girl. Those young masters were just looking for novelty and fun. Each of them was clever and wouldnt unnecessarily cause trouble for celebrities and young girls. What kind of evidence is that? What if he was unlucky and fell? Should the me still be on us? Allonzo Hobson said. Young Master Hobson, the injury report clearly states that the injuries on Benjamin Hobson were caused by artificial harm, Lawyer Richie said. Is there any evidence that Daisy Zane did it? Allonzo Hobson insisted on being shameless till the end. Austin Allen adjusted his sses without speaking. Since the other side started to shamelessly argue for legitimate defense, they had no choice but to be shameless too. You guys We have a witness, the driver who called the police. He was there the whole time, Lawyer Richie said. Weve already questioned earlier, the driver didnt see anything, The police said, When we arrived at the scene, the drivers location indeed couldnt see anything inside the alley. Alley? Austin Allen questioned. Yes. The police said, When we arrived, they were all in an alley, and there was also a car inside. There were no surveince facilities in the alley. Austin Allen noticed that the police didnt seem to care much about this case. It seemed that they wanted the matter to be resolved privately. Since its your driver, it must be your car, Austin Allen said, Going to an alley without surveince in the middle of the night with a car, what was the intention? As soon as he finished speaking, the door outside was knocked on, and William entered with aputer, Found the hotel and the alley surveince. The police in the interrogation room looked at William. William looked at them too, but he didnt say much because of the crowd and just said expressionlessly, I just went to urge them. It would be more convincing for the police to investigate the surveince footage, so neither Daisy Zane nor Juan Wright tried to find the surveince footage. They were just waiting for the police. But after more than two hours, the footage had not been reviewed. It was clear that someone was dying time. Daisy Zane naturally thought of it, but she wasnt in a hurry. No matter how they dyed, they would have to wait for thewyer toe over, so she waited anyway. But she didnt expect Kevin rk toe and resolve the issue. William put down theputer, and everyone gathered around it. Only Daisy Zane, Anisa Cooper, and Kevin rk didnt move. The hotels surveince footage only showed Anisa Cooper and Daisy Zanewalking out. The entrances surveince only captured a glimpse of Anisa being pulled into the car. The most powerful evidence was the surveince footage outside the alley. When the car entered the alley, the footage captured it clearly. From behind the ss, it was clear how Anisa was struggling in the car. The footage was erged, and Anisas appearance could be vaguely recognized. Her violent struggle, even through the screen, seemed like she could hear her heart-wrenching screams. Do you have anything else to say? Allonzo Hobson restrained himself from cursing, Are you still saying that your son was in self-defense? Wheres your face? Hes the abuser! Hes a rapist! If I were there, I would have killed him. The evidence is right in front of you, what else do you have to say? Mr. and Mrs. Hobsons faces turned pale instantly, unable to say a word. The situation was in to see, and they couldnt make any excuses. Lawyer Richie, do you have anything to say? Austin Allen asked. Uncle Horton and Mrs. Hobson both looked at him, as if they ced all their hopes on him. Lawyer Richie shifted his gaze, then said with a serious expression, However, there is no evidence on the surveince footage that Benjamin Hobson intentionally killed Lady Zane. Austin Allen sneered in his heart. At this moment, he had already thought about how to send thiswyer to jail: So you admit to the rape charge? Young people nowadays are very open, Lawyer Richie said, implying that the footage could be some kind of flirtatious act between a young couple. Whether its forced or not, we have to ask thisdy. Lawyer Richie looked at Naomi Nelson as he spoke. Uncle Horton heard this and poked Mrs. Hobson in the back. Mrs. Hobson immediately reacted. Naomi Nelson couldnt believe they could be so shameless. She was so angry that her face turned red. She stood up and pointed at them, but she couldnt utter a single word when she first opened her mouth. She swallowed and then said, It was the man who forced Before she could finish, Mrs. Hobson suddenly fainted backward. The suddenness of the situation frightened Naomi Nelson, and she didnt finish her sentence. Uncle Horton caught his wife in time and asked anxiously, What happened? Whats wrong? Lawyer Richie helped Mrs. Hobson and quickly whispered to them, They have no evidence of intentional murder. As long as that girl changes her statement, the rape charge will not stand. In short, they would stop talking today and find a time for Naomi Nelson to change her statement, saying that she was willingly involved with Benjamin Hobson. What happened? The police rushed over to check. Call an ambnce quickly. Naomi Nelson thought Mrs. Hobson was really in trouble, and her face turned pale again. Daisy Zane saw her fear and pulled her back, making her sit down. Luciashe Its okay. Daisy Zane said, Dont worry, just watch it. Allonzo Hobson came over and put his hand on Naomi Nelsons shoulder: Naomi, dont be afraid, we have so many people here. What could go wrong? Daisy Zane looked at his arm, Take your hand off. Allonzo Hobson quickly removed his arm andughed, Brook Sister, dont scare me. On the other side, Austin Allen looked at their family, his face unchanged, and said softly, Since thisdy is unwell, lets have Lawyer Richie stay. The door of the interrogation room was pushed open again. Everyone looked at the entrance, only to see Diego Giovanni wearing a police uniform, standing solemnly at the door. Deputy Director Giovanni William called out first. Uncle and Mrs. Hobson were all at the entrance, so Diego Giovanni saw the messy scene as soon as he opened the door. He asked with a straight face, What happened? Seeing him, Uncle Horton felt like he had seen a savior. However, he only exchanged nces with Diego Giovanni and made no move. Diego Giovannis memory was outstanding, and he recognized Uncle Horton instantly. He walked over and looked at Mrs. Hobson, What happened to her? She suddenly fainted. After Uncle Horton finished, he lowered his voice, and said in a volume only they could hear, Deputy Director Giovanni, we have an issue. I need two days. What do you need the time for? Their words are very unfavorable to us. Uncle Horton trusted Mr. Santiago too much, and he had a sense of dependence on Diego Giovanni, so he told him everything without any precautions. You want them to change their statements? Uncle Horton didnt nod, but from his gaze, it was clear that he admitted it. Diego Giovannis expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, but he thought to himself, some people really dared to ask him to do such a thing. Should he praise them for being stubborn or call them brainless? Diego Giovanni looked at Mrs. Hobson again, Whats wrong with her? Its okay. Its okay. Uncle Horton said, Its just a helpless move. Whats going on? They found the Vice Bureau Chief. Allonzo Hobson whispered, Where is Bureau Chief Hamilton? He went to a meeting in another city, Juan Wright said. Allonzo Hobson: lts fine, its a small matter. No matter how big their power is, can it be bigger than Third Masters? Kevin rk ignored them and turned his gaze back to Daisy Zane after looking at Diego Giovannis side. He just happened to see Daisy Zane looking at the group of people on their side andughing lightly. Chapter 155 - 145: Settled Chapter 155: Chapter 145: Settled Trantor: 549690339 After understanding the situation, Deputy Director Giovanni stepped back from the crowd. Uncle Horton immediately stood up, his expression changing as if a different person had taken over his body. The look on his face was one of triumph. It was as if he could obliterate Daisy Zane and her group at any time. Deputy Director Giovanni looked at Austin Allen first. Austin maintained his polite smile in the face of the stern expression, but chose to ignore him, considering him to be on the Hobson Familys side. Or perhaps, he didnt think he was worthy of the title Deputy Director. Deputy Director Giovanni didnt engage with him either. After looking at him, he turned his attention to the others behind him. Standing about three meters apart, Deputy Director Giovannis gaze met Daisy Zanes. Daisy nced at him in a rxed manner, her expression half-smiling. For a moment, Deputy Director Giovanni hesitated, and although his face remained expressionless, it was evident that he paused for a second. Kevin rk thought that this was probably the most significant change in expression hed seen from him since they first met. Deputy Director Giovanni hesitated for two seconds, and then his gaze fell on Daisys neck. There was a thin, dried cut on her neck, which was particrly noticeable on her pale skin. He squinted his eyes and asked William in a deep voice, What happened? At first, he had thought about giving face to the Yue family and proceeding in a normal manner, without holding any grudges over the fact that theyd contacted someone who had interfered with the police investigation. But now Deputy Director Giovannis face darkened a few shades. William quickly recounted the entire incident, without taking sides, just describing the events as they happened. As he spoke, Uncle Horton kept his eyes fixed on Daisy Zane, full of confidence. As long as they could deal with her, they could avenge Daniel and resolve the issue with Jordan Ashton. Lawyer Richies face was also flushed with excitement. Although he was trying hard to suppress it, his emotions still seeped through. If he could get the girl to change her statement within two days, he would be the first person to defeat Austin Allen and make a name for himself in the legal profession. Once William had finished speaking, Deputy Director Giovanni went to review the surveince footage. After watching it, he looked at Anisa Cooper and asked, Do you know Daniel Horton? Anisa shuddered, and immediately stood up, her posture stiff. Uncle Horton and Lawyer Richies faces changed when they heard him suddenly asking Anisa. What was going on? Werent they supposed to stall and let them leave first? Deputy Director Giovanni Uncle Horton called out before Anisa opened her mouth to speak. But Deputy Director Giovanni ignored him. Uncle Horton and Lawyer Richie exchanged nces, both in a panic. They were as flustered now as they were triumphant before. You tell me. Deputy Director Giovanni said to Anisa. I, I dont know him, I didnt know who he was. I only found out he was Daniel Horton after I got here, Anisa stammered. At the hotel, I went downstairs to get something. Just as I was about to go back, he suddenly dragged me into his car. He tried to molest me in the car, and when I struggled, he hit me twice. Deputy Director Giovanni, shes lying! Uncle Horton eximed. I didnt ask for your opinion. Dont interrupt. Deputy Director Giovanni said, Continue. Then, I, I called Lucia, Anisa continued. She hurried over to save me,forting me after pulling Daniel away. Suddenly, Daniel pulled out a knife and tried to stab Lucia. Luckily, she reacted quickly, otherwise, the knife would have gone straight into her neck. Daisy Zane beat Daniel into the hospital, and youre not saying anything. Lawyer Richie said. He insulted a girl and tried to kill her. Deputy Director Giovanni looked at the cut on Daisys neck. Whats wrong with hitting him a couple of times? Uncle Horton and Lawyer Richie were left speechless. Mrs. Horton, sitting on the chair with her eyes closed, could hardly bear to keep sitting after hearing the situation y out. Xavier Dominic listened to the conversation and tilted his head in confusion, asking, Whats the story with this Deputy Director? Hmm Juan Wright stroked his chin, I dont know whats going on, but I think hes a pretty good guy. Did you think his expression when he looked at Lucia seemed a little different? Xavier asked. Was there? Juan replied. Did he change his expression? Theres surveince and evidence, and the victims have spoken. Why are you all still here? Deputy Director Giovanni asked the police officers in the interrogation room. Cant you figure things out after several hours? We, well deal with it immediately. If theres nothing wrong, let these two girls leave first. Deputy Director Giovanni looked back at Mrs. Hobson, You, sitting on the chair, stop pretending. Get up. At first, Mrs. Horton didnt move. But the sudden silence in the interrogation room made her feel like everyone was watching her. After a moment, she got up. Xavier Dominic snorted and said, Shes so good at acting. Its really a waste that she isnt in showbiz. Deputy Director Giovanni, my son didnt want to kill them. No! Mrs. Hobson ignored what Xavier Dominic had said and went directly to Diego Giovanni. Whether he did or not is not for you to decide. Well investigate, Diego Giovanni said, What were talking about now is his rape crime. So, youre trying to feign illness, prolong the time, bribe the girl, and have her say shes voluntary! With such an obvious p mark on the girls face, do you think everyone is blind! This situation wouldnt happen if its voluntary! Im telling you, even if theyre a couple, your sons behavior is rape! Deal with it soon. Deputy Director Giovanni, my son is innocent, hes innocent! Mrs. Hobson grabbed his sleeve and said. Diego Giovanni looked at Daisy Zane and said, You guys can go first. If theres anythingter, cooperate with the police investigation. Hmm. Daisy Zane hummed gently. Just as they were about to get up, Kevin rk suddenly spoke up: Deputy Director Giovanni, I want to report a case. Diego Giovanni pulled his sleeve out of Mrs. Hobsons grasp and looked at Kevin rk. His first reaction was that this guy wanted to stir up trouble, and then he asked, What kind of case? A murder case. Kevin rk slowly uttered these two words. After finishing, he looked directly at the Hobson couple. The Hobson couple met his gaze, and their hearts contracted violently all at once. Mrs. Hobson even staggered a step backward. What murder case? Juan Wright immediately opened the file bag he was holding, and handed the contents inside over to Diego Giovannis hand. He said, Two years ago, Benjamin Hobson assaulted a 17-year-old girl, leading to her depression and suicide. This is the detailed information. Please review it, Deputy Director Giovanni. Youre framing my son! Mrs. Hobson suddenly lunged forward, trying to snatch the material from Diego Giovannis hand. William, quick as lightning, restrained her: Be honest! After reading it, Diego Giovanni frowned, Such a big thing, why didnt anyone report it? The girl was from a single-parent family, and her mother went crazy after her death, Juan Wright said. Diego Giovanni turned another page and suddenly saw the logo of Celestial Pivot Detective Agency in the lower-right corner of thest page. He gave Juan Wright another look. Juan raised his eyebrows. His boss, Third Master, heard that Daisy Zane was taken to the police station for hitting Benjamin Hobson and didnt use him; he went straight to Celestial Pivot to buy information about Benjamin Hobson. And Celestial Pivot responded quickly this time, directly revealing this significant matter. With just this one incident, Benjamin Hobson could be sentenced to death. From the beginning, Kevin rk never intended to use the current case to deal with Benjamin Hobson. He only wanted to clear Daisy Zane of any charges here. Then No matter what, Benjamin Hobson would not be let off easily. If Celestial Pivot could investigate matters rted to him, he would nevere out again. If they couldnt, then he had his ways of making him disappear. Diego Giovanni looked at the materials in his hand, an incident from two years ago. With no one even reporting the case, only Celestial Pivot could investigate such thorough details. They even found out that Benjamin Hobson was afraid that the girls mother was faking her insanity and nned to harm her mother. Not only were the details of the incident provided, but there were also clear pieces of evidence. Is Benjamin Hobson in the hospital? Yes, William said. You go to the hospital right now, Diego Giovanni handed the material to William. Yes. William took the materials and went outside to call someone. Mrs. Hobson wanted to follow, but her legs gave out, and she copsed onto the ground directly. Im Daisy Zaneswyer, Austin Allen. Austin Allen suddenly spoke up, his smiling face gone, reced by a serious expression, For that girl Ill be herwyer. He looked at the Hobson couple, Unlimited free service until the perpetrator is sentenced to death. Hearing this, Mr. Hobson seemed to age decades overnight, barely staying upright by supporting himself on a nearby table. His mind was aplete nk, the more he wanted to think of a solution, the more it was nk. Daisy Zane was satisfied with this result. She picked up her clothes from herp, handed them to Kevin rk, and stood up, Lets go back. I have a show to shoot tomorrow morning. Okay, Kevin rk said. Lucia, you go back first. Ill stay and deal with the aftermath, Austin Allen said. Hmm. Daisy Zane nced again at Diego Giovanni, their eyes meeting for a brief moment before she looked away and left.. Chapter 156 - 146: Give a Hug Chapter 156: Chapter 146: Give a Hug Trantor: 549690339 After leaving the police station, Anisa Cooper held on to Daisy Zanes hand. She was genuinely scared and wanted someone to lean on. Daisy Zane looked at her and hesitated before saying, Call your boyfriend. Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson looked at Daisy Zane. Allonzo Hobson even asked, Whose boyfriend? Daisy Zane paused before looking at him and saying, You have a boyfriend? Who has a boyfriend! I dont have a boyfriend! And Ill never have a boyfriend! Allonzo Hobson suddenly became very agitated, as if his tail had been stepped on. Daisy Zane nced at him again, and Kevin rk said, Dont mind him. Daisy, are you talking to me? Anisa asked. Mm-hmm. Why? Anisa was confused. Its sote; he must be asleep. Then wake him up, Daisy Zane said. Thiste at night, and youre at the police station. Shouldnt hee to pick you up? But, but Anisa said, But we havent reconciled yet. Daisy Zane looked at the silly girl beside her and after a moment of silence, said, Today is a good day; it should be a great time for reconciliation. Huh? Anisa didnt understand but eventually took out her cell phone and made a call. The call was answered after about ten seconds. The man on the other end was sleeping, and his voice was hoarse. He seemed to realize that something had happened since she was calling sote, so as soon as he picked up, he hurriedly asked, Naomi, what happened? As soon as Anisa heard his voice, tears immediately started falling. Crying, she said, Brother Miller! Allonzo Hobson was scared by her crying, but Daisy Zane remained calm. She held Anisas hand and led her towards the parking lot while listening to her cry. Kevin rk just looked sideways at Daisy Zane. Anisa couldnt even see the road from crying so much and could only rely on Daisy Zane to lead her, sobbing, Brother Miller, someone bullied me. Im, Im at the police station After saying that, Anisa stopped talking and just listened to the other side, nodding in response. After about a minute, she hung up the phone. Allonzo Hobson handed her two tissues. Anisa snuffled and said, Thank you, Young Master Hobson. What did he say? Daisy Zane asked. He, he said hede pick me up and asked me to wait for him here. Anisa wiped her tears as she spoke. Daisy Zane lightly hooked the corner of her mouth, Okay. Take a few days off. Come back after youve settled things with him. Huh? Anisa pressed her puffy eyes with the tissue and looked at Daisy Zane with watery eyes. After two seconds, she asked, What if I cant settle it? Daisy Zane: Then donte back. Anisas mouth drew tight, and she cried even harder. Hold it in, Daisy Zane said. Save it for when you see Brother Miller. If he doesnt agree, drown him in your tears. Anisa tried to hold it in, Will it work? Probably, Daisy Zane said slowly. Its just a man who likes you; it should be easy to win him over. Hearing this, Kevin rk suddenly stopped walking. Daisy Zane walked a few steps ahead before she noticed that he wasnt moving. She stopped and looked back at him. Then she realized what she had just said. Allonzo Hobson nced between Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. He began to worry that this woman might cheat on Kevin rk. I Daisy Zane looked into Kevin rks eyes, overly calm. Iwas just talking nonsense. Kevin rk pursed his lips and didnt say anything. He just took out his car key and pressed it to unlock the car. ncing at Daisy Zanes exposed ankle, he said, You guys get in the car first. Daisy Zane nced at him and led Anisa Cooper to get in the car first. Almost half an hourter, Anisas cell phone rang. It was a call from John Collins, asking where she was. Anisa got out of the car and looked around. Then she saw John Collins on the side of the road, wearing all ck clothes, a ck hat, and a ck mask. She waved and shouted, Brother Miller. John Collins immediately turned around. After seeing Anisa, he hung up the phone and walked over. His left leg was limping, and although he tried to walk faster, he was still a bit slow. Seeing this, Anisa quickly ran over and crashed directly into his arms. Brother Miller. She started crying again as soon as she spoke. John Collinss face was well concealed, but one could still see the burn on his face from under the hat brim. He hugged Anisa and patted her back, saying, Its alright. Dont be afraid. Im here. The two hugged for a while, and Anisa pulled away from him. Let me introduce you to my Daisy. John Collins immediately noticed the redness and swelling on her face and gently touched it. Were you hit? Yes, Anisa replied. Daisy avenged me. She beat the person and sent them to the hospital. As they spoke, Daisy Zane got out of the car and strolled over. John Collins looked up at her. When Anisa wanted to be her assistant, he had looked her up online and knew that she was a beautiful youngdy. But seeing her in person still amazed him. Daisy Zane. She extended her hand. John Collins shook her hand politely. John Collins. Thank you for tonight. Its my pleasure. Daisy Zane took a quick look at him, then turned to Anisa. Shes been frightened. She probably wont be able to work for a while. You can take her home first. Anisa kept her head down and didnt say anything. John Collins hesitated for a moment, but seeing Anisas expression, he immediately agreed. Alright, Ill take her home first. After the two left, Daisy Zane returned to the car. At that moment, Arthur North returned with the takeout he had just ordered. He ordered two milk teas, put a straw in one, and ced it in Daisy Zanes hand. Daisy Zane looked out the car window. Wheres Young Master Hobson? He ordered a car and went back to the Evesting Pce. Arthur North sat down with her in the back seat and then leaned down to touch her ankle. Daisy Zane moved away and looked at him. Arthur Northughed. Youre not cold, are you? Why are you hiding? Im not cold, Daisy Zane took a sip of her milk tea. Arthur North looked at her face. Hed always thought herplexion was bad because she was cold, but He ced his hand on her pulse and after a while said, Menstruation. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. You can tell? Yes. Arthur North frowned, then released her hand. Does it hurt? I took a painkiller tonight. Daisy Zane replied. Arthur North paused for two seconds, then grabbed Daisy Zanes hand and said, Lucia. Yes? Arthur North put the milk tea from her hand aside. Come here, let me give you a hug. Daisy Zane didnt move, finding him a bit strange. Arthur North reached over and wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her onto hisp with one force. With his other hand, he shielded her head to prevent it from bumping against the car roof. What are you doing? Daisy Zanes hand pressed against Arthur Norths shoulder, secretly exerting force against him. Lucia, lets just hug for a while, Arthur Norths head rested against her shoulder, coaxing with a smile.. What can I do? Chapter 157 - 147: I’m Jealous Chapter 157: Chapter 147: Im Jealous Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane suddenly felt Arthur North was very much like arge pet, one that needed regr attention. Seeing him like this, she gradually loosened the strength from her hand. Arthur North immediately held her in his arms. In truth, he was deeply grieved. He couldnt imagine what she had gone through to drive herself to this state. Lucia. Hmm? Daisy Zane simply removed her slippers and put her bare feet directly on the seat. Arthur North pulled a nket over from the side and covered her feet, saying, I am a bit jealous. What? Why didnt you call me when something happened. Arthur North stroked her head and said, And why did you call that guy, Austin? Hes awyer. But Im your boyfriend. Arthur North softly said, Shouldnt your first instinct be to turn to me when something happens? I Daisy Zane swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue and said, You were the first one I thought of. Really? Arthur Norths voice carried a hint ofughter. Mhmm. The way Daisy Zane hummed, seemed very genuine. Arthur Northughed and said, You thought of me first, but you went to someone else for help first. Right? Mhmm. Daisy Zane willingly admitted. Naughty girl. Arthur North lightly tapped her back You just love to upset me. Daisy Zane leaned on his shoulder, her eyshes fluttering lightly. For some reason, a very familiar feeling climbed into her heart, making her feel ufortable. He also calls you Lucia. Arthur North added. Because he didnt know what my name was originally. He heard someone else call me Lucia, so he started to as well. Daisy Zane exined, Im not that close with him. Others also call you Lucia. So, are you very close with someone else? Arthur North quickly pinpointed the key point, A man or a woman? Daisy Zane: . Not hearing her reply, Arthur North raised his head, looking at her, heughed and said, Whats the matter? Are you upset because I teased you? No. Daisy Zane randomly found an excuse, Im just a bit tired. Arthur North gave her forehead a light peck:Lets go back to the hotel. Mhmm. Two dayster, Austin Allen had some free time, so he arranged to see Daisy Zane. It was noon, Daisy Zane had her next scene in the afternoon. So Arthur North drove to the Doomsday Hotel. The three of them met at the Doomsday Hotel. Austin Allen arrived ten minuteste, with a bag from a specific brand dessert shop in his hand. He ced the bag beside Daisy Zane, saying, Lucia, Deputy Director Giovanni asked me to bring this to you. Arthur North was in the process of taking a hair tie out of his pocket. The action of getting up, left him paused as he looked at the bag. She says she doesnt know anyone, yet here she is epting food from others. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, reached out for the bag and looked inside. It was a half-ripe cheese. You like to eat it. Austin Allen said. Mhmm. Arthur North stood up, walked behind Daisy Zane and helped her tie up her hair. Daisy Zane just sat there, not even casting a nce at him. Arthur North skillfully tied her hair up and even tidied it a bit before returning to his seat. Austin Allen watched their familiar routine with silentment in his heart. It was over. His older brothers secret love ended before it even began. He knew his chances of calling her sister-inw were gone now. Deputy Director Giovanni only opens up when it concerns the case, otherwise, he barely speaks. Austin Allenughed softly, When he gave me this dessert, he only said four words Give it to her. It took me a while to realize he was referring to you. Daisy Zane replied with a light smile, Hows the case going? Its going smoothly. Austin Allen confirmed, Theres always someone on guard at the hospital. Were just waiting for Benjamin Hobson to be discharged now. His mother truly passed out yesterday. Daisy Zane nodded. If Austin Allen has taken over, it means that Benjamin Hobsons death sentence is a sure thing. Your case, Austin Allen said, Ive prepared everything. Whats the next step? Kevin rk nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane thought for a moment and said, Ill contact you in a few days. Alright. Okay. On April 10th, Daisy Zanesst show, Fall of the Quince, was aired. Two episodes were broadcast every evening from Monday to Friday. The character yed by Daisy Zane didnt appear until the second day of the show. And the scene where she first appeared was the same one where Kevin rk did her makeup tor the show. The post-production of this show is very exquisite, every shot is full of artistic sense, even empty shots are extremely meticulous. On the first day of the broadcast, it received a lot of attention and high praise because of the Male Lead George Dunn. Even Serena Buster became a trending topic. Everyone was pleased with this neer. On the second day, when Daisy Zane made her appearance, she once again amazed the audience. Not to mention her stunningly beautiful appearance, she also had exquisite acting skills. This type of cold beauty is really hard to grasp, and any excess would make people feel the character is stiff and dull. But Daisy Zane handled it very well. Although it was the same expression, no eyes widening, or any movement, but those eyesmunicated her emotional changes. That evening, searches rted to Fall of the Quince and Daisy Zane upied six entries on the trending topics. Of course, negative fans are everywhere, but theirbat power is too weak and their words have been drowned out. The number of followers on Daisy Zanes Facebook page skyrocketed overnight. Some fans even mistakenly went to Flynn Ninevaras page. They were guided back by other fans, who asked them to distinguish between the actor Daisy Zane and the screenwriter Flynn Ninevara. Even Daisy Zanes new drama received considerable attention. Hill Dawson called Daisy Zane several times during this period. The drama crew asked if she wanted to promote the new drama with everyone, but Daisy Zane declined. She said that just forwarding news from the drama crew on Facebook was enough. She was content with just acting, she didnt want to attend press conferences and other promotional events. On April 13, Anisa Cooper returned to work, with a new ring on the middle finger of her left hand. Her face was glowing, a clear sign of good news. This ring isnt part of the set I sawst time. Daisy Zanemented as she rested in the nanny car. Anisa Cooper giggled shyly, This one was purchased by him, he proposed. Daisy Zane joined in theughter. Kevin rk, who was watching Daisy Zanes new drama nearby, said, Lucia, you seem to bring luck to the staff. Hmm? Your assistant got engaged, the driver had a son, Kevin rk looked up at her, When will you bring me good luck? Havent I already? You have, Kevin rkughed, Im no longer single. Anisa Cooper chuckled at their exchange, and then, ncing at a message on her cell phone, said, Third Master, Daisy. Im going to get food. Mhm. When Anisa Cooper left, Kevin rk said, It seems like you like this assistant very much. Yes. Kevin rk touched her face, You treat her a bit differently than others. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, not continuing the topic, What time is the flight in the afternoon? 5 0clock. Ill definitely bring Charles Amos back this time, Kevin rk smiled, No idea how that little rascal is cursing me at home. At most hell just ignore you again.. Chapter 158 - 148: Amelia Miles Comes to the Door Chapter 158: Chapter 148: Amelia Miles Comes to the Door Trantor: 549690339 In the afternoon, Kevin rk left, and when Daisy Zane returned to the hotel in the evening, she encountered a little trouble. It was past three in the morning when Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper got out of the car in the parking lot. They hadnt walked far when they heard the sound of a car door opening and closing in front of them. After a few footsteps, Amelia Miles appeared in front of them. Daisy Zane had been filming all day and didnt want to say a word now. She nced at Amelia and tried to walk around her with Anisa. But Amelia Miles stepped forward to block them. What? Are you blind? Cant see people? Amelia Milespletely dropped her usual pretense of being well-behaved, Or do you think youve done something remarkable and no longer need to respect others? Get out of the way. Daisy Zane said, looking at Amelias hand. What if I dont? Daisy Zane looked up at her. As their gazes met, Amelia Miles fell silent for a while beforeughing, Daisy Zane, do you think you can enter the Miles family just because your connections are strong enough to impress my father and grandfather? Do you think once you be part of the Miles family, youll be considered one of the youngdies of our family? Amelia Miles suddenlyughed and approached Daisy Zane, saying word by word, Your mother was a third party who broke up someone elses family, and youre the daughter of a mistress. Even if you return to the Miles family, youll always be an illegitimate child. Your mother will always be a mistress, and youll always be an illegitimate child! No matter how big your connections be, no matter how high you stand or how famous you get, youll always be seen as inferior to others and looked down upon! Amelia Miles grew more excited as she spoke, The more famous you be, the more people will know that your mother was a mistress. Because of you! Even in death, she will be insulted by thousands! Did you have your meal in the bathroom tonight? Your mouth is so filthy! Anisa suddenly said, Only someone as dirty as you could have such disgusting thoughts. What are you, and who gave you the right to speak? Amelia Miles looked at Anisa, Youre nothing more than a dog Daisy Zane keeps, go away. What are you? Anisa said, wanting to step forward, but Daisy Zane held her back. Daisy Zane handed the clothes in her hand to Anisa, and calmly began to adjust her sleeves. Amelia Miles poked Daisy Zanes shoulder again, sneering, Daisy Zane, can you sleep at night? You sent Olivia Chester and rissa Mason to prison, and now my cousin is lying in the hospital, waiting for his sentence to be announced. Doesnt your conscience feel uneasy? Arent you afraid of retribution for all the evil things youve done? It was as if Daisy Zane hadnt heard her words. She nced at the red Ferrari nearby and asked coldly, Your car? Yeah, whatugh. Daisy Zane reached out, gripping Amelias throat, and in one movement, mmed her onto the hood of the car. With a muffled thud, Anisa watched as the hood dented inward. Amelia Miles immediately struggled, trying to pry Daisy Zanes hand from her neck, and gasped, You, let go, I are you crazy? Daisy Zane put more pressure on her hand, causing Amelia to lean back, gasping for air. Dont you know how Olivia Chester and rissa Mason ended up in jail? Daisy Zane wore a mask and spoke softly, Arent you clear about how your cousin ended up in the hospital? You had the hacker tell Benjamin Hobson I was in Imperial Capital; what were you trying to have him do? It was also your idea when he followed me around in Truro City. Amelia Miles stared, wide-eyed and disbelieving, at Daisy Zane. Did you think no one would know about the things youve done? Did you think that the hacker you found is invincible? Daisy Zane whispered, Youre too naive. Let me tell you, all your actions are transparent in my eyes. You Daisy Zane tightened her grip, cutting off Amelia Miless words. Illegitimate daughters shouldnt be on stage; they should be despised, right? Daisy Zanes eyes seemed to be covered in ayer of frost, Alright, remember those words clearly. The clearer, the better. Amelia Miless face turned red, and she stopped breathingpletely. Seeing this, Anisa panicked and hurriedly grabbed Daisy Zanes clothes: Daisy, she she seems to be losing it. But Daisy Zane still didnt let go, even putting more pressure. Amelia Miles rolled her eyes. Let me tell you, I have no interest in joining your Miles family. Daisy Zane said, But you have to pay for what you owe. Johanes Miles has children and a wife but doesnt take care of them or provide for them. And he still thinks he doesnt have to pay a penny? What a beautiful fantasy. Daisy, please let go, let go. Anisa was almost in tears. Amelia Miles was on the verge of passing out, and only then did Daisy Zane let go of her hand. Amelia slipped straight off the car and fell, sitting on the ground. At first, she didnt respond, but gradually started coughing. Daisy Zane, pinching her fingers, looked down at her own hand and said, If you dont want to die, dont show up in front of me again. After saying that, Daisy Zane left with Anisa Cooper. Anisa kept looking back at Amelia, fearing she might die soon. There were so many surveince cameras in the parking lot. If a corpse were to lie there, Daisy Zane would surely be charged. Its fine, she wont die, Daisy Zane said while sending a message to Holt Lawrence on her cell phone. [Ferdason Hotel, just now the Fl parking lot surveince has been cked out. Also, check all of Amelia Miles electronic devices to see if theres any video recording.] Around 3 am, Holt Lawrence was still awake, and soon replied to the message: [As a youngdy, can you not always get into fights? Its easy to scare off a boyfriend like this.] Daisy Zane: [As a nearly forty-year-old man, dont stay upte. Mind your own business instead of focusing on us twenty-something-year-olddies.] Holt Lawrence: [Who knows if youre really in your twenties, you might be older than me!] This message was quickly retracted, but Daisy Zane still saw it. She smiled, put her phone back in her pocket, and entered the elevator with Anisa Cooper. Amelia Miles sat on the ground for about ten minutes before finally feeling alive again. It felt as if her throat had been cut open, and she didnt dare swallow. There were red, swollen fingerprints on her neck, and her hoarse voice sounded like sandpaper: Crazy, shes really crazy, she dares to kill. As she muttered to herself, she made a phone call. Following the arrest of the previous hacker, Amelia Miles quickly found a new one. Ferdason Hotel Fl parking lot surveince. Okay, the other party said, Give me a moment. Amelia didnt hang up the phone and kept waiting, but a minute, two minutes went by, and there was still no reply from the other party. Isnt it done yet? she asked hoarsely, like a rooster, Does it take this long to check the surveince? Parking lot surveince has been hacked. What? Amelia Miles asked, Cant you recover it? Their technology is too advanced, the person on the other end of the phone said, Theres no way to recover it. Useless! Amelia cursed, ending the call and throwing her phone away, Theyre all useless! The Fall of the Quince was a hit, generating a lot of buzz every day, not only on Facebook but also on various short video tforms with clips from the show. Amelia Miles took advantage of the shows poprity and bought a hot search iming Daisy Zane was an illegitimate daughter. Paid trolls led the charge, turning one hot search terms thread into a cesspool of nder, abuse, and humiliation. Daisy Zane remained silent and didnt have Hill Dawson intervene. Harton rks side also tacitly agreed not to let anyone handle it. The first to handle the matter were the Miles Family. They paid arge sum to have the hot search removed and to control thements. After everything was settled, Johanes Miles sent a message to Daisy Zane: [Lucia, Ive taken care of the online situation. Focus on filming, and dont worry about it..] Chapter 159 - 149: Clarification Chapter 159: Chapter 149: rification Trantor: 549690339 Ever since Daisy Zane walked out of the police station unscathed that evening after the Hobson Family had suffered aplete disaster, the Miles Familys desire to mend their rtionship with her had only intensified. Not only was it because Daisy Zane could bring huge benefits to the Miles Family, but they also worried that she could take revenge on them. So they wanted to mend the rtionship as quickly as possible. When Daisy Zane received a message from Johanes Miles while having lunch, she simply deleted it after checking it. Then she opened a message sent by Austin Allen: [By the way, Im going to sue those who led the army of paid trolls too.] Daisy Zane replied to him: [Okay, tonight, dont forget.] Austin Allen: [Dont worry, Ill be on time.] Afterwards, Daisy Zane asked Melody Collins for her Facebook ount and password. She also told Melody that it was best to turn off her phone or mute it tonight while sleeping. Melody, who never took more than ten minutes to reply to a message, only replied to Daisy Zane when she was eating dinner that evening. Daisy Zane finished work early today. However, after returning to the hotel, she didnt sleep. She opened a bottle of wine and drank while working on her design drafts. With a theme of the 24 sr terms, Daisy Zane promised Felix Baker that she would submit a draft every quarter. Its already April, and the first quarter has passed. So, she decided to submit every six sr terms. Anyway, she would submit four drafts each year, so she wasnt being dishonest with her agreement. Once the Grain Rain sr term passed, she would submit her draft. Daisy worked on her draft until 11:55 p.m. She put down her pen, picked up her wine ss, and cell phone, and walked to the French window to gaze at the dark night outside. The time on her phone changed to midnight. As soon as it hit midnight, it was April 15th. Daisy Zane opened the official Facebook ount of the Lee Law Firm. At midnight, the Lee Law Firm released awyers statement. Lee Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as our firm) epts the engagement of Daisy Zane (hereinafter referred to as the client) and assigns Lawyer Austin Allen to provide her with legal services. The content of thewyers statement mainly mentioned Johanes Miles cheating on his wife udia Zane with Charles Hobson, causing Charles Hobson to be pregnant, and then also causing his wife udia Zane to be pregnant during their marriage. After Charles Hobson gave birth to a son and udia Zane gave birth to a daughter, Johanes Miles divorced udia Zane and married Charles Hobson. They also colluded with the relevant authorities to change the marriage registration information, erasing the marriage information between Johanes Miles and udia Zane. As a result, udia Zane suffered severe depression, andmitted suicide in a rented house before her daughter was even one month old. In addition, twenty-five yearster, when they found out that their daughter Daisy Zane had returned to Truro City, they ndered udia Zane as the third party and spread rumors that Daisy Zane was an illegitimate child. After saying all this, the statement listed manyizens IDs who spread lies and nder about Daisy Zane as an illegitimate child online. And the statement clearly said. Restore udia Zanes innocence. To sue Johanes Miles for abandoning his wife and daughter, ndering his wife and daughter, and damages to udia Zanes and Daisy Zanes reputations, as well as demanding correspondingpensation. At the same time, they would also sue the relevant authorities for favoritism and malpractice. We will also filewsuits against theizens listed above, regardless of right or wrong, for insulting and damaging Daisy Zanes reputation. In addition to thewyers statement, a brief overview of the case was also posted. It talked about Johanes Miles having an affair with Charles Hobson during his marriage, including the marriage date of Johanes Miles and udia Zane, the birth dates of Jace Miles and Daisy Zane. The divorce date of Johanes Miles and udia Zane, and the marriage date of Johanes Miles and Charles Hobson. There were also a few dates when Daisy Zane was verbally abused as an illegitimate child after returning to Truro City. As well as some statements by Johanes Miles during that time of denying to hold a Family Recognition Banquet, etc. The arguments were clear and well-reasoned. Lee Law Firm didnt receive much attention. So after seeing this post on Facebook, Daisy Zane directly shared it on her ount. She also tagged Miles Group and wrote: [Theint has been submitted to the court. Please wait for the court to send copies of theint, Director Miles.] The time this post was shared was midnight. Daisy Zanes recent poprity was high, and the post quickly received widespread attention. Ever since Daisy Zane appeared in the public eye, she was apanied by her identity as an illegitimate child. She never responded to it. As a result, she didnt respond, but now she retaliated with a deadly counterstrike. [Poor X sister. She lost her mother before she was even a month old. After so many years, her biological fathers business flourished, but she suffered in a ce like Cold Green Vige.] [It was not easy to get out of such a ce, and she was ndered as an illegitimate child. And her biological father not only refused to rify but also deliberately ckened her image in interviews. How could there be such a disgusting person.] [During Daisy Zanes investigation, Johanes Miles immediately cut off the rtionship, fearing it would affect him. He even said something like he would never recognize his family.] [Moreover, the words he said were obviously implying that it was udia Zane who seduced him to make a mistake. He even mentioned that he only knew about Daisy Zanes existence more than twenty yearster. Their divorce date was clearly after Daisy Zanes birth, how could he not know about his daughter. So shameless.] [And those relevant authorities are too terrifying. Money can do all kinds of wicked things, they must be thoroughly investigated.] [Everyone, go check out @luos Facebook. A newly opened ount posted screenshots of chat records. Its Amelia Miles buying paid trolls to disparage Daisy Zane as an illegitimate child.] [I saw it, I saw it. So shameless. I wondered why the issue of illegitimate children suddenly came up again. Turns out someone was behind it.] [How dare she disparage others as illegitimate children. Her brother is the real illegitimate child. She was lucky to be born after her parents got married. Her mother is the third party. Yet she disparages others, pretending to be a pure lotus. She cant stand Daisy Zane being better than her, so she discredits her.] [I used to think Amelia Miles was pretty good, good-looking, good at dancing, and a good personality. Now I suddenly feel disgusted.] [What kind of good person can be educated growing up in such a family?] [You guys are ming now, but the court hasnt even epted the case yet. Is everything true just because awyers statement was issued?] [Moreover, this is their familys private affair. Theyve already submitted it to the court, why bring it up using public resources? Desperate for fame?] [epting the case in court is only a matter of time. Who would fake such a thing when they dare to issue awyers statement? You must be a fool.] [Who upies public resources? Not knowing who is leading the rhythm on the inte, saying Daisy Zane is an illegitimate child. You are allowed to spread rumors, but shes not allowed to rify? How many times have they spread rumors on the inte? She just rifies once. If she doesnt rify online, should she let you continue to nder? If your brain cant work, just pick it off and kick it for fun.] Apart from theizens righteous indignation, the most obvious reaction was Miles Groups stock falling, even worse than thest time Daisy Zane had an ident. Daisy Zane didnt pay much attention to the online news. She stood in front of the French window, wearing a silk sleeping robe. After putting her cell phone aside, she reached into her clothes and touched the pendant. If only you were alive How nice it would be, Daisy Zane slowly lowered her eyes, paused, and drank the wine in her ss. Then she was silent for a while, whispering, That way I could tell you in person.. Chapter 160 - 150: Little Charles Amos Appears Chapter 160: Chapter 150: Little Charles Amos Appears Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Daisy Zanes Facebook post, Kevin rk immediately called her. Zoe Dawson used her ount to post on Facebook, which was done very formally and politely. Unlike this Facebook post that was insolent and provocative. Kevin, upon seeing this, knew right away that it was Daisy who posted it, so he quickly called her. Only after confirming that Daisy was okay did Kevin stop worrying about leaving Charles in Imperial Capital and hurrying over to Truro City. He still decided to take Charles back to Truro City the next day. He then told Daisy to go to sleep. Daisy Zane, after putting her phone on silent, calmed down quickly. She didnt n on reading anyones messages or answering any calls. She slept for over three hours before Anisa Cooper came to wake her up to do her makeup. Anisa had clearly gone to bed very early, and she was still unaware of what was happening online. When she came to wake Daisy up, she was still feeling disoriented. Daisy Zane loved to sleep when she didnt have anything to do. Under normal circumstances, she would fall asleep very quickly. As for the quality of her sleep, it depended on what she dreamed of. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Although she seemed to be a sleepyhead, she never hit the snooze button when it was time to wake up, and she never had a grumpy morning attitude. You just need to wake her up once. After getting her makeup done at the drama crew, Daisy spent the whole day filming. She didnt even eat lunch and continued filming until around 3 in the afternoon before having a meal. By this time, Anisa had already found out what had happened online. Daisy,Anisa looked at Daisy, her face full of sympathy. Why the long face? Daisy had a sip of water and said, Im going back to Evesting Pce today. Okay. Anisa remained silent for a while before adding, Also, the court has epted the case. Both the court and Lawyer Allen have publicized it. Hmm. Daisy replied, looked at Anisa for a while, and then yfully scratched Anisas chin. This is a good thing. From your expression, I thought I was an illegitimate child. Theyve bullied too much! Especially that Amelia Miles! She even has the nerve toe around. Anisa was extremely angry. Daisy chuckled, saying, Isnt this her retribution? Anisa took a moment to think, then said, But its still infuriating. Daisy took a bite of food, then pinched Anisas face. Smile. Anisa thought for a moment, then smiled. But I do get some satisfaction from thinking about the current predicament of the Miles family. Daisy looked at Anisas smile, heard Anisas voice, and suddenly felt a bit distant. She looked at Anisa for a moment, then also smiled. Afterwards, she lowered her head and slowly went back to eating her meal. When Daisy returned to the Evesting Pce, Kevin rk and Charles had just arrived a moment prior. Anisa had already separated from her at the entrance of the residential estate to go see John Collins. Daisy returned to the Evesting Pce alone. As soon as she opened the door, the door across from her opened as well. Charles ran out and directly clung onto her leg. Kevin followed him out, seeing Daisy, he smiled and said, You came back so early. I thought I would have to pick you upter. Daisy picked Charles up and said, The shooting went smoothly today, so we finished early. Then she looked at Charles and said, You feel heavier. Have you gained weight? No way. Charles, hanging onto her neck, said, I grew taller. Daisy had naturally noticed this before. Even though they hadnt seen each other in two months, he had grown significantly taller. But listening to him being so precocious, she grabbed his cor, pulling him back to take a look at him and said, Open your mouth. Charles kept his mouth tightly shut and wouldnt let her see. But as soon as he saw Daisys expression instantly be serious, he quickly opened his mouth. He had lost two more teeth on top. They were still there when they had video chatted just the day before: When did you lose them? Yesterday, Charles said, Both fell out at the same time. Daisyughed, You keep losing them and not growing new ones. Are you going to turn into a little old man? Charles puffed up his chubby cheeks and red at Daisy in annoyance. However, Daisy Zane ignored him and put him down: Get down, youre too heavy. Kevin rkughed and said, I took him to the hospital for a check-up in the morning. You took him? Daisy Zane went into the room, heard this, and turned her head to take a nce at Kevin rk. Kevin rk nodded: I went with Wilton Edwards. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and asked while changing her shoes: What did they say? Hes very healthy. Kevin rk helped her take off her coat and hung it by the side, His development was a bit slow before, but he might grow fasterter. I am afraid if he grows too fast, he willck calcium, so he needs to have more calcium supplement. Charles Amos started running around once he entered the room. Daisy Zane went into the room and caught him: I heard you are going to grow taller. Yeah, Ill be taller than you. Daisy Zane chuckled: Dont say you know me when we go out if youre shorter than me in the future. This is height discrimination. Whats wrong with discriminating against you? Daisy Zane bullied the child again openly. Seeing her happy, Kevin rk was also cheerful. Unable to argue with her, Charles Amos broke free of her hands and ran off again. Kevin rkughed and said: Wilton Edwards didnt want toe over. Daisy Zane went to the restroom to wash her hands and said: Take him back to see Wilton Edwards when you have time. Okay. Kevin rk went to the restroom with her and watched her washing her hands, Daisy, why didnt you let Charles Amos go to school? Hes old enough to have some contact with the outside world. He used to go to school. Huh? First grade, attended for half a year. Daisy Zane said somewhat helplessly, buthe said all his ssmates are idiots. He was educated for a while. He stopped saying it, butevery day, he made a child doubt if they are an idiot through his actions. During that time, Wilton Edwards receivedints from teachers and parents every day. Kevin rkughed. Then, half a yearter, half of Wilton Edwards hair had turned white. So, I didnt let him go to school anymore. He was intentionally making trouble at school. Kevin rkughed. Exactly. Daisy Zane said, He was bored and I insisted on leaving him at school. Since he couldnt do anything about me, he took it out on the people around him. Hes young, but hes got quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Kevin rk said. Are you talking about me? Charles Amos suddenly popped his head out of the doorway. Kevin rk pressed his head lightly: Yes, we are talking about you. What are you saying about me? Charles Amos asked. We are saying that you have gaps in your teeth and your speech is leaking air. Daisy Zane bluntly said. Who doesnt have a gap-tooth phase? Charles Amos grumbled softly, raising his small hand, opening it, revealing another lost tooth in his hand. Another one? Daisy Zane furrowed her eyebrows. Kevin rk squatted down and looked at him, Open your mouth, let me see. Charles Amos opened his mouth, he had lost four teeth in a row at the top. The ce where the tooth had just fallen out was still faintly bleeding. Kevin rk touched his hair: Its alright,e, lets rinse your mouth. He lost three teeth in two days, is that normal? Daisy Zane asked. Its normal. Kevin rk said, No need to worry. Daisy Zane nodded: Go rinse your mouth. Kevin rk took him to rinse his mouth, and Daisy Zane looked at the backs of the two, one big and one small, tilting her eyebrows for a moment. This scene seems not bad at all.. Chapter 161 - 151: April 15 Chapter 161: Chapter 151: April 15 Trantor: 549690339 Past 9 PM, Charles Amos finished taking a shower by himself and came out with wet hair dripping. Because it was wet, the hair was even curlier, like an exploding mess. Thankfully, his little face looked good with the round eyes, so it didnt affect his appearance. Harton rk got a hairdryer to let him sit on hisp and blow-dry his hair. After dinner, Daisy also followed them and sat quietly on the carpet, carefully practicing her incense seal. The sound of the hairdryer suddenly started. Lucia turned her head and saw Charles sitting obediently on Hartonsp, holding a Rubiks cube, ying it over and over again. This little monster rarely behaved so well with others, but he was surprisingly obedient to Harton. Harton noticed her gaze and looked at her with a smile. Lucia raised her eyebrow slightly before lowering her head to continue cleaning the incense burner. After finishing blow-drying Charless hair, Harton took him to sleep. Good night, Charles and Lucia said to each other. Yeah, Lucia messed up his freshly dried hair, patted his butt, and said, Good night. Go to sleep. Harton took Charles back to the room, but he never came back. Lucia had finished lighting the incense, but he still hadnt returned. Just when she was about to go and see if he was going to sleep with Charles, her cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from Johanes Miles. He had called her many times in the early morning and throughout the day today, but her phone was on silent, and she didnt hear any of them. Sheter saw the calls but ignored them. In the afternoon, when she turned her phone volume back on, Johanes didnt call again. He probably had too many things to deal with and didnt have time to call her. Looking at the iing call, Lucia thought for a moment, answered it, and put it on speakerphone. She thought Johanes would yell at her, but he didnt. His voice was exhausted, as if he had no more energy left to shout. Daisy, what exactly do you want to do? Dont you know what I want to do? Lucia replied calmly. Ive made everything clear, and millions ofizens know what I want to do. Im sure Director Miles can understand whats written online. As soon as she finished speaking, Harton came out of Charless room. He quietly closed the door and saw Lucia on the phone, so he stood still and didnt move. We can talk about what you want, Johaness voice seemed to hang by a thread. As long as you drop thewsuit, settle the rumors online, and if you want shares ore back to the Miles family, we can talk about it. Lucia held an incense cleaner in her hand and twirled it around her fingertips. Does the Miles family have a throne that needs to be inherited? she asked. Would I want to go back to the Miles family? Are you worthy? Harton lowered his eyes and smiled. Her mouth was still sharp. Johanes choked a bit, went silent for a while, and then turned the conversation back. What do you really want? The Miles familys downfall and the copse of the Miles Group wont benefit you. How is the Miles familys situation my concern? All I want is to clear udia Zanes name, Lucia said lightly, her hand that twirled the incense cleaner paused. A vindication thats twenty-six yearste. Hearing those words, Harton slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that something was not quite right. Why dig up things from so many years ago! If you didnt want this to resurface, you shouldnt have done such a despicable thing in the first ce, Lucia said. The Miles and Hobson families bullied udia because they believed she had no background and couldnt touch them. So they felt no guilt in doing whatever they wanted. More than twenty yearster, they thought no one would know about it and just kept ndering her. Now that its been exposed, are you afraid? Lucias voice was soft and chilling. Ill tell you, its toote. Johanes fell silent again for a while before saying, I can give you shares, double the amount Johnson Sophie has. That extra amount can serve aspensation for you and your mother. Daisy Zane sneered and said, Johannes Miles, have you forgotten something? Jace Miles is the illegitimate child. Charles Hobson is the third party. The Miles Family should have been inherited by Daisy Zane. You! Johannes Miles obviously did not expect her to say so, and he was so shocked that he couldnt say a word. Daisy Zane touched the soft hair on the incense cleaner and looked at her cell phone, Johannes Miles, do you know what day it is today? Johannes Miles was silent for a few seconds before asking, What day? April 15, udias anniversary of death. Daisy Zane said slowly, looking down. Through the phone, she could feel Johannes Miless breath hitch. A long time passed, and he didnt speak or hang up the phone. Kevin rk quietly watched Daisy Zanes back. Daisy Zane opened her mouth again, On the memorial day, something must be offered as a sacrifice to appease the restless souls. As soon as she finished this sentence, she could clearly hear the disorder in Johannes Miless breathing through the phone. Or what did you think, that I would hold onto the evidence and not speak up to clear my name after you ndered me as an illegitimate daughter time and again? Daisy Zane said, Ive been waiting for this day. Shes been wronged for more than twenty years, so we need to pick an important day to clear her name. Daisy Zanes voice had not changed at all, and her expression remained cold and nonchnt. But these words sounded increasingly eerie and terrifying. Johannes Miles, after all these years, do you still remember what she looked like? What she liked? What she looked like when sheughed? Daisy Zanes words struck the heart, When you hold the neer by your side andugh, do you ever think about the wronged soul under the yellow soil, buried with her old, dry bones? Johannes Miles suddenly hung up the phone. Daisy Zane nced at the hung-up phone and put the incense cleaner back. Then she turned to Kevin rk and said, Eavesdropping again. Kevin rk smiled, walked over, sat down beside her, hugged her from behind, and said, Yup, identally eavesdropped again. Is that an ident? Kevin rk rubbed his face against hers, It is an ident. Dont move around. Daisy Zane dodged, Its ticklish. Kevin rkughed and kissed her face, Alright, I wont move. After holding her for a while, Kevin rk said, In the afternoon, the stock of the Miles Group plummeted. No wonder Johannes Miles was quiet all afternoon. Kevin rk pinched her hand and asked, Is there anything you need my help with? Daisy Zane thought for a moment and said, No. SighI Kevin rk said disappointedly, Im such a useless boyfriend. You do have some uses. Daisy Zane said. What? Being afortable cushion. Daisy Zane leaned more on him as she spoke. Kevin rk hugged her closer, How about I hold you like this when we sleep tonight? Daisy Zane looked at him, Compared to that, I think lying in bed is morefortable. Kevin rkughed and didnt tease her anymore. After kissing her face again, he said, Go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow. Yeah. Chapter 162 - 152: I Want a Gift Too Chapter 162: Chapter 152: I Want a Gift Too Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk escorted Daisy Zane back to her ce across the street but didnt go in, stopping at her front door. Once she entered, he nned to leave. But just as he turned around, Daisy Zane suddenly called out to him. Kevin rk. Huh? Kevin rk turned back to face her, then smiled and said, Do you feel morefortable leaning on me than on a bed? Daisy Zane: . Alright, I wont say anything more. Kevin rk straightened his expression and asked. Whats up? Daisy Zane stared at him for two seconds, seemingly hesitating whether she should say anything. Finally, she shared her thoughts: You are of great use for me. Hmm? Knowing youre there, I feel very secure. Daisy Zanes voice remained cold and emotionless, Ive never felt like this before. Maybe it was her cold voice, or perhaps it was that he didnt expect Daisy Zane to say such words. Kevin rk was momentarily dazed before he realized what he had heard. He walked to the entryway and held Daisy Zane in his arms, kissing the top of her head. He whispered, Lucia, Ill always be here for you. You can go about your business without worrying about anything behind you. Ill always be there to handle it. Daisy Zane closed her eyes and took a gentle breath: Mm. The next day, when Daisy Zane went to the drama crew, Charles Amos hadnt woken up yet. She went to check on Charles in his room, then gently touched his smooth face before walking out. Juan Wright had alreadye up from the ground floor and assured Daisy, Lady Zane, dont worry, Ill take good care of him. Thanks a lot. No problem, Juan replied, Having him around saves me from boredom. Daisy Zane handed him a book shed brought from her side: As a thank-you gift, this may be of some help to you. The book was about two centimeters thick and 16 open size, with ayer of thick kraft paper on the outside. The paper seemed aged, with some torn edges. But there was nothing written on the paper, and it was impossible to tell what kind of book it was just by looking at it. Juan nced at Kevin rk, then took the book with both hands: Lady Zane, youre too kind. Whats the need for a thank-you gift? Were like family. I should be Juan opened the book and saw the big characters on it; his following words were instantly cut short. His eyes widened in surprise. Daisy Zane pretended not to see his reaction, stretched her hand again to take the book back: I think youre right. Its awkward to give thank-you gifts once youre already familiar with each other. Just as her hand was about to touch the book, Juan suddenly closed it and held it tightly in his arms: Lady Zane, once you give something away, you shouldnt take it back. Dont worry, since I received your gift, Ill make sure Charles is well taken care of. Daisy Zane chuckled and said, I was just joking. Its yours. Really? Juan looked like a giant dog, with his ears perked up and his tail wagging. He was so excited that he didnt know how to express himself. Yes, Daisy Zane answered, Its of no use to me anyway. Thank you, Lady Zane. While the two of them chatted happily, Kevin rk stood on the side like an outsider. He didnt dare to upset Daisy Zane, but Juan So he gave Juan a soft, floating look. Juan was happily flipping through the book when he suddenly felt as if a knife had been plunged into his flesh. As he raised his head, he met Kevin rks gaze and finally realized what had just happened. Immediately, he took the book to Kevin rk. He carefully let Kevin take a quick peek at the contents. But after just a second, he closed the book again and hugged it tightly to his chest, a smug look on his face. It was like he was afraid someone would snatch it from him. Kevin rk: Although he only caught a glimpse, Kevin rk managed to read the straightforward title: LUO: Hacker Attack and Defense. Its a hacker book written by Holt Lawrence. Looking at Juan Wrights expression, its clear that this book must be authentic. A book written by Holt Lawrence, second only to Nathan Ninevara, the Chairman of the Celestial Pivot Detective Agency. A treasure in the hacker world. Lady Zane, where did you get it? Juan Wrights eyes sparkled, The difficulty of finding this book is on par with Nathan Ninevara. Kevin rk also looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy had just sent a message to Anisa Cooper, telling her that they wereing down. Hearing Juan Wrights question, she didnt take it to heart and casually said, Picked it up somewhere. Kevin rkughed. Juan Wright: Where did she pick it up? Why hasnt he been able to find it for so many years? Well, she picked it up casually from Holt Lawrences desk. Last time, when James Collins moved the stuff from the Imperial Capital here, this book was also moved. Leaving it with her would just gather dust, better to give it to Juan Wright and make use of its value. Maybe It could even nurture a sessor for Holt Lawrence. Juan Wright does have some talent. His book is not bad, worth studying. Upon hearing this, Juan Wright couldnt hold back the corners of his mouth from twitching. Not bad? Boss Lawrences book, in the hackermunity, is like a supreme martial arts secret. Would Holt Lawrence hit someone upon hearing this? Kevin rk was going to the drama crew with Daisy Zane again. Since Charles Amos was home, Juan Wright didnt go downstairs to send them off. The two entered the elevator together, and as soon as the elevator door closed, Kevin rks expression, which was a bit fierce when notughing, suddenly turned somewhat pitiful. Lucia, I want a gift too. Daisy Zane looked up at him. Juan Wright has a gift. Kevin rk looked at her with a charming smile, I dont. Daisy Zane: . Is this guy a jealous fairy or what? Seeing that she didnt say anything, Kevin rk leaned forward and said again, I dont. As Daisy Zane looked at his eyebrows and eyes, she suddenly pulled his cor, making him bend down, and then kissed him on the lips. After a quick kiss, she let him go and took a step back. The smile on Kevin rks face deepened immediately, he stepped forward and slightly leaned down to kiss Daisy Zanes lips again, thenughed, A precious gift, this is the return gift. This man is really something else Daisy Zane pursed her lips lightly, looked at him for a while, and suddenlyughed, Third Master have you really never been in love before? No. Kevin rk stood up straight and touched her face again, Why do you suddenly ask that? It doesnt seem like it. Daisy Zane said, You seem like a seasoned veteran in the game of love. I Kevin rks face was about to turn ck with injustice, The rumors are really fake. Seeing him like this, Daisy Zane leaned against the elevator wall andughed, I didnt say the rumors were true, Third Master, why are you so nervous? Kevin rk looked at her squinting eyes, and the danger swept across the entire elevator, closing in on Daisy Zane. At this moment, the elevator door opened. Daisy Zane provocatively raised her eyebrows at him and then leisurely walked out of the elevator, leaving him with a view of her back. Looking at that silhouette, with every strand of hair exuding triumph, Kevin rk took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finally walked out just before the elevator door closed. Damn girl, teasing him again.. Chapter 163 - 153: Pronouncement of Judgment Chapter 163: Chapter 153: Pronouncement of Judgment Trantor: 549690339 Because Johanes Miles case involved corruption by rted authorities, it attracted significant attention. Moreover, the material evidence submitted by Austin Allen was very clear. Even witnesses who had attended the wedding of Johanes Miles and udia Zane were found. Thus, the court proceedings moved quickly, and a trial date was scheduled one monthter. Due to the widespread attention on the case, the court announced the trial date online. During this month, the Miles Family had been continuously attempting to contact Daisy Zane. However, Daisy Zane blocked all phone numbers rted to the Miles Family after talking to Johanes Miles that night. Unable to reach her by phone, the Miles Family began looking for her at the drama crew and Evesting Pce. Johanes Miles, Charles Hobson, and even Old Master Miles went to look for Daisy Zane but none of them were able to find her. The security at the drama crew, hotel, and Evesting Pce had been mostly reced by Kevin rks people. While protecting Daisy Zane, they also shielded her from these unnecessary troubles. So, the Miles Family was not able to see even a glimpse of Daisy Zane. In Truro City, the Miles Family was prestigious. Even those who didnt pay much attention to celebrities knew about Daisy Zane because of the Miles Family. Anyone with some sense and a bit of intelligence, seeing the incidents that Daisy Zane had dealt with, knew that Daisy Zane had substantial backing behind her. So when the Miles Family encountered trouble this time, everyone distanced themselves immediately. Some people even chose to pay penalties to terminate cooperation agreements. They were afraid that they would unintentionally provoke a powerful force and end up going bankrupt overnight. The situation at the Hobson Family was simr due to Benjamin Hobsons incident. Although they were not at a point where everyone pushed them while they were down, they certainly had reached a stage where everyone gathered to watch the excitement. As the Hobson Family declined, Charles Hobsons arrogance diminished by more than half. And this matter was rted to her. It was because she had set her sights on the already married Johanes Miles that she was determined to marry him. Which led to the Hobsons using their influence to force a marriage. Old Master Miles favored the power of the Hobson Family and had always looked down on udia Zane, a poor girl with no background. Moreover, in the end, udia Zane disappointingly gave birth to a girl. So, Old Master Miles encouraged Johanes Miles to divorce udia Zane and marry Charles Hobson. The modification of the marriage registration information was done by the Hobson Family. As long as the relevant government staff were punished, the Hobson Family would certainly be implicated. The entire Hobson Family and Charles Hobson would all be involved and couldnt escape the consequences. Without the support of the Hobson Familys power, Charles Hobson was scolded by Old Master Miles for the first time. Every day the entire Miles Family argued, ming and using each other. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and various depressing atmospheres. Sophie Johnson got into a big argument with John Anderson, even pping him in the face, as she hired paid trolls to badmouth Daisy Zane on Facebook. Online, everyone was criticizing her, and every time she opened her Facebook, it was filled with cursingments. The Truro Dance Theatre had also suspended all her performances temporarily. She was toozy to go home and listen to the arguing, so she stayed in her apartment, not going anywhere. She also began to reconsider whether she should continue her rtionship with John Anderson. She chose this man because he was wealthy, had Maple Elite Entertainment, and had a father who was the mayor of the city. But now, the Miles Family was in trouble. Harry Anderson stayed out of it, not only failing tofort her but even started arguing with her because of Daisy Zane. What could she rely on in such a family? While the Miles Family was thrown into chaos, Daisy Zane diligently continued filming in the drama crew. Over the past month, Harton rk hadnt always been with Daisy Zane. He would generally stay with her for two days, then leave for a few days ande back again for another two days. She stayed here sporadically. asionally, she would go to the film set to watch Daisy Zane act. It was already mid-May today. The sun was shining brightly, and Kevin rk wore just a shirt, sitting next to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane had just finished putting on makeup and was waiting for her scene. Did you send someone to follow me? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Kevin rk nced at her and smiled, You found out? Yeah. Daisy Zane asked, The security at the drama crew and hotel have changed as well, did you arrange that? Kevin rk nodded: Yes. Did something happen? Daisy Zane knew that they had blocked the Miles Family, but sending someone to follow her must have been for another reason. Its something rted to our family. Kevin rk replied, Its not a big deal, but just in case, I dont want it to affect you. Daisy Zane opened her mouth, intending to say that she could protect herself. But in the end, she swallowed her words. She figured that if she let him follow her, Kevin would feel more at ease. Okay. Kevin rk could see through her thoughts and smiled gently: The court hearing is tomorrow. But Old Master of the Miles Family suddenly went to the hospital. The Miles Family wants to postpone the hearing on the grounds of the old masters illness. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows lightly: So what? So Kevin rk looked at her and said, I brought a medical team from the Imperial Capital to testify in court. Old Master Miles just had a hypoglycemic incident and fainted, and its not serious enough for his son not to show up in court. After listening, Daisy Zaneughed: So its really just low blood sugar? I spared him some face. Kevin rk said, Didnt say that he was faking it. You are really mean. Kevin rk also smiled andzily said: Everything is arranged at the hospital. Even if there is really something wrong with Old Master Miles, we can save him. Besides, Ive arranged with the media that if Johanes Miles still doesnt show up, he will be live-streamed nationwide. Daisy Zaneughed briefly and then quickly held it back. But after holding it for a while, she couldnt help it andughed, lowering her head. Seeing her shoulders shaking withughter, Kevin rk said: Is it really that funny? Not really. Daisy Zaneughed. Kevin rk watched herugh, like sunshine sprinkling over the cold snow, making her look dazzling and stunning. He suddenly felt the urge to touch her, but since her makeup and hair were freshly done, he could only hold her hand. The next day, the court was in session, and both Johanes Miles and Charles Hobson appeared. Although the case was old and involved many people, there was strong and clear evidence, along with witnesses and the testimony of involved officials. Above all, there was the gold-medalwyer Austin Allen, who was unstoppable in court. He left the opposing defensewyers speechless and sweating profusely. So there was no need for a second hearing, and the verdict was announced right there and then. It truly restored udia Zanes innocence. The court ruled that the Miles Family had to pay for eighteen years of child support, reputational damages to udia and Daisy Zane, as well as udia Zanes mental distress. And they had to publicly apologize to udia Zane and Daisy Zane. Involved officials were sentenced to life imprisonment and confiscation of property. As for the tampering of the marriage registration information, it was all done by Uncle Horton. Although he didnt appear in court, he would be taken to the police station for questioning after the case was over. If everything was proven to be true, he would be sentenced to at least ten years. The entire process was live-streamed, with a peak viewership of millions. Afterward, the court and Lee Law Firm announced the verdict online again. Chapter 164 - 154: Just Know a Little Chapter 164: Chapter 154: Just Know a Little Trantor: 549690339 While everyone was paying attention to the court ruling, Daisy Zane was still filming all day. The oue was already set. She was confident in the evidence she provided, and also confident in Austin Allen. This was the inevitable result. So by the time she forwarded the Facebook post, she had already returned to the hotel after a days work in the evening. She didnt say anything special, just thanked everyone for their attention and support. There was no joy, no excitement. Just in and simple. This has hit the Miles Family hard. Miles Group has also been heavily impacted. As Kevin rk unpacked the things Michael Jackson had sent today, he said, The only way for the Miles Family to save themselves now is to acknowledge you, publicly give you shares of Miles Group, and reconcile with you. To salvage some of the Miles familys reputation. Hmm. Daisy Zane watched him unpack and responded. What do you want to do? I wont go back, Daisy Zane said, But if they give me shares, Ill take them. Then cash out. Thats also possible. Kevin rk finally opened the box. He then took out threerge bags from inside. He tore open one bag, and a strong herbal scent immediately floated out. Daisy Zane was close and subconsciously moved back when she smelled the scent. Whats this? Medicine. Kevin rk took out a small package. It looked like a tea bag and weighed the same. Daisy Zane looked at him warily: Whats it for? Kevin rk smiled at her, then turned his head and called Anisa Cooper: Naomi Nelson. Anisa Cooper was tidying up in the bedroom and came running out when she heard the call: Whats wrong, Third Master? This Kevin rk shook the tea bag in his hand and said, Every day make a cup of this for Lucia. Just put it directly into the ss and add boiling water. Wait for the water to cool down, add two spoonfuls of honey, and you can drink it directly. Have it one cup after breakfast every day. Alright. Anisa Cooper agreed briskly. Listening to their conversation as if Daisy Zane didnt exist, she frowned and said coldly, Did I agree to drink it? You two have decided for me? Anisa Cooper looked at her, smiling innocently. Kevin rk smiled again and said, You can go ahead. Okay. Anisa Cooper ran back to the bedroom. Kevin rk put the medicine away, then sat down beside Daisy Zane and said, Be obedient. It smells strong, but its not bitter when you drink it. I adjusted the medicine specially. You adjusted the medicine? Yeah. Daisy Zane paused for a moment, thinking: it wouldnt matter who adjusted it, why would they give her medicine out of nowhere? Why are you giving me medicine? Daisy Zane asked. Kevin rk held her from behind, resting his hand on her shoulders, and said, So you dont have to suffer from menstrual pain. Daisy Zane nced at his hand and silently said after a while, Doctor rk, is there any way to not make ite? She asked the question seriously, really seeking a solution. But Kevin rks temples twitched twice when he heard it. Whats the difference between this and asking how to castrate a man? Daisy Zane quickly added, Without affecting physical function. Kevin rk fell silent. This question was like asking how to castrate someone without affecting their function. Currently, humans have not evolved to that level. Alright. Daisy Zane reached for the thermos cup nearby and took a sip of water. Warm water slid down her throat, and she stared at the thermos for two seconds. She couldnt figure out why she was living such a life. Not being able to eat ice was one thing, but even cold water was out of reach. Carrying a thermos cup all day long, and now she had to take medicine every day. She wasnt that physically unwell, right? As she thought about it, Daisy Zane suddenly felt annoyed. So she lifted her elbow and gave Kevin rk a shove from behind. Arthur North immediately covered his left rib, took a gentle breath, andughed, How could you suddenly hit me? Ah. Daisy Zane slowly screwed on the cap of the thermos, Its just an elbow reflex. What? Arthur North doubted if there was a problem with his ears. Itssimr to the knee-jerk reflex. Daisy Zane made up a serious nonsense. Arthur North looked at her for two seconds, thenughed softly, Daisy, do I seem easy to deceive? Daisy Zane looked at him and nodded, It seems so. Alright. Arthur North hugged her again, pinched her face and kissed her lips, Ill let you fool me, little girl. At the end of May, the drama crew suddenly gave Daisy Zane a three-day vacation. Due to continuous high-intensity shooting, and the male lead having a cold these days, he fainted on set and was sent to the hospital. With him in the hospital, many scenes with Daisy Zane and him could not be filmed. Actually, they could adjust the schedule and shoot Daisy Zanes individual parts first. But the shooting volume of the male and female leads is almost the same. If anything, Daisy Zanes shooting volume isrger, and her mental pressure is higher. The director was afraid that Daisy Zane might copse as well. This not only concerned Daisy Zanes physical health but also whether the Imperial City Leafield Family would spare his life. So the director hesitated for a second and gave Daisy Zane a three-day break. He asked her to go back and rest, insisting she must go back and rest. As it happened, Daisy Zane had an experiment to do, so she happily agreed to it. On the first day of the vacation, Daisy Zane went to theboratory. Arthur North didnt see her until past eleven oclock that night. Moreover, Daisy Zane even shook off the people Arthur North had arranged to protect her. So Arthur North had no idea where she had disappeared to all day. But he didnt ask either. The next day, Daisy Zane didnt go out again, but took a thick painting book and went to Arthur Norths side. Arthur North was handling things in his study, while Charles Amos was sitting on a chair next to Arthur North, writing something. Daisy Zane sat in the studys sofa, drawing design drafts. All morning, Xavier Dominic entered the study three times. But Daisy Zanes movements remained almost unchanged. Each time he came in, he saw Daisy Zane nestled in the sofa, one leg raised and resting on the painting book. Holding a pencil in her hand, she kept drawing and drawing. She never even looked up at him. On his third entry, out of curiosity, Xavier Dominic circled to her back and secretly peeked from a distance. On the open page, the top left corner read the four characters Rainy Grain. She was drawing a ne. The ne was divided into twoyers, the topyer resembling raindrops and the bottomyer looking like some kind of grain. Xavier Dominic couldnt quite recognize it. The shape was only roughly outlined, but it was also extremely beautiful and fashionable. As Daisy Zane was drawing, she felt the gaze from behind her. She stopped her pencil and turned to look back. Xavier Dominic was so absorbed in watching that when she suddenly turned around, he was startled. He coughed lightly and said, Ms. Lucia, you, are you drawing a design draft? Hearing him speak, Arthur North and Charles Amos both looked up. Daisy Zane nodded lightly. Xavier Dominic took a step forward, looking at the draft in her hand, and said, Ms. Lucia, you know design too? A little. Daisy Zane replied, Just doodling. Xavier Dominic was looking at the drafts, and it didnt seem like she knew just a little. Are you very free? Arthur North suddenly spoke up. Xavier Dominic immediately withdrew his gaze, not asking any more questions, Ms. Lucia, youre busy, Ill go first.. Chapter 165 - 155: Zhou might be in trouble Chapter 165: Chapter 155: Zhou might be in trouble Trantor: 549690339 Not long after Allonzo left, Michael came in again. However, Kevin was busy exining a math problem to Charles, so Michael had to wait on the side. Come here, let me tell you. Daisy put down the painting book and just finished saying that when her cell phone rang. Charles was about to get off the chair but looked at Kevin instead. But Kevin was looking at Daisy. Charles: The call was from Emily Hill, Daisy thought it might be work-rted. But after answering the phone, the voice on the other end was not Emilys, it was a little girl crying. Then, they could faintly hear the sound of yelling and fightinging from the cell phone. The child on the other side of the line kept crying, her wailing making Daisys head feel numb. Daisy stood up and started walking out, saying, Dont cry, what happened? Where is your mom? Seeing her get up, Kevin followed. Hearing her speak, Michael and Charles followed her out as well. As Daisy was putting on her clothes at the door, the child finally spoke, My dad is beating my mom, and she is bleeding a lot. Please save my mom! Daisys expression turned severe as she looked at Juan, who was sitting on the living room sofa, and said, Juan, locate the phone. After saying that, Daisy gave Emilys mobile number to Juan. Ok. Juan immediately got to work. Send it to my cell phone. After Daisy said this, she left the house. Kevin told Charles to stay at home and left with Michael in tow. After they reached the parking lot, Juans location information came through. Daisy directly navigated to the ce and handed the phone to Michael. She and Kevin sat in the back seat of the car. After the car left the parking lot, Kevin finally asked, What happened? Emilys daughter called. Daisy frowned, She said her dad is hitting her mom, and her mom is bleeding. Call an ambnce. As Daisy finished speaking, Kevin was already dialing the emergency number. Michaels car was driving fast, but by the time they arrived at Emilys home, twenty minutes had already passed. The ambnce arrived earlier, but only the childs crying could be heard from the room, and no one opened the door when they knocked. When they got upstairs, the ambnce had already called the firefighters and police toe and open the door. Upon hearing the childs continuous crying from inside, Daisy was about to kick the door in. However, as she lifted her foot, Kevin grabbed her. Then, he raised his foot and kicked the security door hard. With two kicks, the security door and the door frame were broken, and the door fell to the ground with a bang. The medical staff outside were dumbfounded by his kicks and saw cracks in the floor tiles under the door. Daisy immediately walked in, but as she reached the entryway, a man came out from the right side of the room. He was holding a kitchen knife and went straight for Daisy with it. Daisy quickly dodged to avoid the de. Kevin also instinctively pulled her back, and then kicked the man hard in the stomach. He sent the man flying more than three meters away. The kitchen knife fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Michael quickly moved forward and subdued the man. Daisy didnt care about anyone else and immediately followed the childs crying into the room. The bedroom door was pushed open. Arge pool of blood greeted everyones eyes. Emily was lying in a pool of blood, her pants soaked with blood. Her face was pale, her eyes tightly closed. Her face and arms were bruised and swollen. Her daughter was sitting next to her, covered in blood, and crying incessantly. Doctor! Kevin called out. The doctor quickly brought the stretcher and was startled by the scene. Kevin rk bent down to put Emily Hill on the stretcher, and Daisy Zane picked up the child. A group of people followed the doctor out. Michael Jackson was escorting the man outside as well. By the time they were downstairs, the police had just arrived. Coincidentally, it was William who responded to the call. William was like a brick in the police station, always being moved wherever needed. So Michael Jackson handed the man over to him and then went to the hospital with the others. At the hospital, Emily Hill was taken directly into the rescue room. Daisy Zane held the child,forting her all the time. There was blood smeared on Kevin rk and her body. Michael Jackson bought some wet wipes to wipe the blood off the childs face and hands. Not long after, the door of the rescue room was pushed open, and two nurses rushed out in a hurry. The doctor came to them and said, She has an ectopic pregnancy and is bleeding heavily. Is anyone of you type A blood? Isnt there any blood in the blood bank? Kevin rk asked. Type A blood is not umon, and with such arge hospital, there should be blood in the blood bank. This morning, a maternal patient bled heavily, and she is also type A blood. Now the blood in the blood bank is not enough. We have already requested blood from other hospitals, but it will take some time. The doctor quickly said, She needs to have one of her fallopian tubes removed. You need to sign the consent form and be aware of the critical condition notice as her blood loss is too great Daisy Zane frowned and said, I am type A blood. After that, she handed the child to Michael Jackson and signed the consent form. Hearing her words, Kevin rk hesitated for a moment and exchanged a nce with Michael Jackson, whose eyes also contained confusion. But the child started crying when she was not in Daisy Zanes arms. Michael Jackson had no choice but to console the child first. Are you a family member? We have no blood rtion. Daisy Zane said, Take me for a check-up. Follow me. It took three hours to rescue Emily Hill, and she was finally saved but remained unconscious. After Daisy Zane had her blood drawn, she looked energetic, but her lips turned a little pale. Emily Hills parents were abroad, and she only had a cousin in China. Even if her parents were notified, they could only arrive by tomorrow morning at the earliest. However, her cousin arrived quickly. Michael Jackson went to pick her up and told the others that she hade on a motorcycle. After her cousin arrived and learned about the situation, she cried and cursed the man, her cursing ability simply astonishing. Again and again, she said the same thing: I knew that man was no good, but she insisted on marrying him. What kind of spell has he put on you for you to follow him so blindly? Then she continuously thanked Daisy Zane and the others. She wanted Daisy Zane and her friends to go home first, and she would stay with Emily Hill in the hospital. However, she had to entrust the child to Daisy Zanes care. Although the cousin was in her forties, she was single and only barely able to take care of herself, let alone a child As a result, Daisy Zane brought the child back with her. Are you okay? Kevin rk asked Daisy Zane, looking at her pale lips. I dont feel anything. Daisy Zane looked at the child who was crying asleep in Michael Jacksons arms and said, Lets go to Sister Emilys house first and get some things the child usually uses. Alright. Chapter 166 - 156: Taking Care of the Child Chapter 166: Chapter 156: Taking Care of the Child Trantor: 549690339 Once again visiting Emily, Daisy Zane got quite a few things for the child. Clothes, food, necessities, and toys, she brought some of each. For such a young child, without their mother beside them, they easily recognize familiar things. Arthur North also took the chance to have someone install a new door for her home. After returning to the Evesting Pce, Daisy Zane took the child directly to her room. Hearing the noise, Charles Amos also asked Juan Wright to apany him to her room. As he entered, he saw the blood on Arthur North and Daisy Zane, and was frozen in ce. Juan Wright, following behind him, immediately covered his eyes. Daisy Zane nced at him and took off her coat. She looked at Arthur North and said, You should change your clothes too. Okay. Daisy Zane went back to her room to change her clothes first. Aftering out, she took Charles Amos into her arms and said, Its okay, its not our blood. When Arthur North came back after changing clothes, he saw Daisy Zane holding Charles Amos, stroking his head, andforting him all the time. It was the first time he had seen Daisy Zaneforting Charles Amos so seriously and patiently. Usually, she just said a few words casually and left him alone. Scared? Arthur North went over and patted Charles Amoss head. Charles Amos buried his face in Daisy Zanes neck and shoulder, not saying a word. I wasnt hurt either, and nothing happened. Daisy Zanes voice was still cold, but it was much softer. Was it him? Charles Amos suddenly asked in a low voice. Arthur North looked at Daisy Zane, and he noticed that her hand seemed to stiffen for a moment, and even her expression seemed to freeze for a moment. But it was gone in an instant. It wasnt him. Daisy Zane said, It was the little sisters mother who had an ident. The little sister? Yes. Daisy Zane took Charles Amos to the little girls side. The child was still sleeping, and Michael Jackson had just ced her on the sofa. Would you like to take a look? As Charles Amos raised his head, he looked on the sofa. The little girl had soft ck hair, braided into two scorpion braids. Her small face was plump, and after falling asleep, her little mouth was a bit moist, asionally smacking her lips. Charles Amos looked at her for a while before looking back at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane immediately said, Its just a temporary stay. Charles Amos tense expression immediately rxed. Arthur North chuckled, such a small child with such strong possessiveness. I want to see her, Charles Amos said. Daisy Zane immediately put him down. Hurry up, youre too heavy. Charles Amos eagerly looked at the child, not paying attention to what Daisy Zane said. If you wake her up and she cries, its your job to soothe her, Daisy Zane said. Hearing this, Charles Amos quickly withdrew his outstretched finger and just quietly watched her from the side. Sit down and rest for a while, Arthur North said. Im fine. Daisy Zane sat on the sofa, and Arthur North poured her a ss of water. Ive sent someone to watch over the hospital, there wont be any issues. Michael Jackson is at the police station. Alright, Daisy Zane said, Well deal with the police station after Emily wakes up. Are you sure youre not feeling unwell? Arthur North touched her forehead, You look pale. Im fine. Daisy Zane took a sip of water, Dont worry. In the evening, the meal Arthur North ordered from Doomsday Hotel was all blood -nourishing food. What wasnt avable at Doomsday Hotel, he had them buy fresh ingredients and cook them on the spot. However, before dinner, the child suddenly woke up. Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings and strangers, she opened her mouth and cried, and then looked for her mother. Arthur North was a person who liked peace and quiet, and disliked children. With her crying like this, he wanted to throw her out. Charles Amos was also at a loss because of her crying. He could only stare at her with wide eyes, not knowing what to do. Juan Wright quickly found an excuse and left. Daisy Zane was fine, seemingly used to it. First, she skillfully changed the babys diaper, and then went to prepare a bottle of form. Boiling water to sterilize the bottle, adding form, mixing it, testing the temperature C she was very adept at each step. Kevin rk watched, learned, and remembered. Why are you following me? Daisy Zane nced at him. I want to learn how to do it. Kevin rk replied. What for? Daisy Zane shook the bottle, Her grandparents wille to pick her up tomorrow. She wont be here anymore. For future use. Daisy Zane looked at him again: There are so many people in the rk Family, does Third Master rk really need to prepare baby form himself? Kevin rke leaned in and kissed her cheek: Its our child, of course, I have to do it myself. Daisy Zane paused and nced at him, then said, Dont mess around here. Go away. Yes. Kevin rk chuckled and backed away. As soon as the baby started drinking the milk, her cries stopped. They took this opportunity to have a quick meal. But halfway through, the baby started crying again. You eat, Ill go check on her. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane ate quickly and then let Kevin rk go eat. She held the baby but didnt try to soothe her, just cradling her in her arms and patting her back gently. Listening to the babys cries, her thoughts began to drift away. When Jack Amos left, Charles Amos was only over a year old, his crying was even more intense. At that time, she and Wilton Edwards took turns staying up with him night after night. Besides taking care of Charles, they were also afraid that someone mighte near and hurt him. When Kevin rk finished eating and came out, he saw Daisy Zane lost in thought while holding the baby. He approached her and reached out to touch her face. But Daisy Zane suddenly grabbed his hand tightly and then looked up at him. Her eyes showed unhidden anger, resentment, and even a killing intention, like a sharp knife that could pierce into ones heart. Kevin rk was taken aback for a moment, instinctively tensed his hand, then quickly let go: Whats wrong? Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rks face and came to her senses. She slowly released her grip: Im sorry. Its okay. Kevin rk still reached out and touched her face, Are you tired? Daisy Zane shook her head lightly, ncing at the red mark on his wrist. She had left a mark on his delicate skin. Let me hold her for a while. Kevin rk reached out to take the baby. But Daisy Zane did not hand her over: You make some food for her. Huh? At her age, she can eat solid food. Im afraid shell be hungry if she only drinks form. Daisy Zane said, Use my cell phone to call Uncle Edwards and ask him what to buy and how to prepare it. All right. Ill call. Charles Amos found Daisy Zanes cell phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and dialed Wilton Edwards number. He even put it on speakerphone. Lady Grandpa Edwards, its me. Charles Amos said sweetly. Ah, its Young Master. Wilton Edwards voice was filled with kindughter. Kevin rk smiled: Charles talks more than he used to. Daisy Zane nced at him and nodded in agreement. Especially after talking to Kevin rk, Charles started tomunicate with others simply as well. Perhaps Kevin rk made him realize that not everyone was like that madman.. Chapter 167 - 157: She Can ‘t Cook Chapter 167: Chapter 157: She Can t Cook Trantor: 549690339 As suggested by Uncle Wilton Edwards, Kevin rk cooked some white porridge, fried an egg, steamed half a pumpkin and boiled some green vegetables. Fearing that the children would have digestion problems, he made everything quite soft and tender. During the time he was cooking, the child eventually stopped crying. However, she insisted that Daisy Zane hold her. The moment she was put down, she would start fussing and threatening to cry. Daisy Zane, worried that the child might develop some problems from continuous crying, had no choice but to carry her around the living room. Eventually, they ended up in the kitchen, watching Kevin rk cook. Charles Amos moved a small stool, stepped on it, and also watched Kevin rk cook. I also want a fried egg. Charles Amos suddenly announced. Didnt you already have dinner? Daisy Zane asked from the entrance. Cant I eat another one? Daisy Zane didnt approve, so Charles Amos turned to Kevin rk, after all, she wasnt the one cooking. But Kevin rk nced down at him and chuckled, If Daisy Zane doesnt allow, I dare not. Charles Amos: Hearing this, Daisy Zane upturned the corner of her lips lightly. Patting Charles Amoss head, Kevin rk suggested, Lets eat it tomorrow morning. Okay. When you were his age, did Daisy Zane also take care of you like this? Kevin rk wanted Charles Amos to appreciate Daisy Zanes efforts, so he wouldnt feel jealous for her carrying another child all the time. But to his surprise, Charles Amos responded, No. Huh? She cant cook. Charles Amos looked at the golden-colored fried egg and added, Uncle Wilton Edwards always cooked for me. A fleeting look of suspicion crossed Kevin rks eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, chuckling softly. After she flips the egg over, it would disappear. Charles Amos added. Carrying the little child, Daisy Zane cast a floating nce at Charles Amos head and narrowed her eyes, her gaze murderous. Why would it disappear? Kevin rk followed along. Because, after flipping, it would be the same colour as the base of the pot. Charles Amos thought for a moment and added, Just burnt ck. Charles Amos, are you asking for a beating? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. At the sound of her chilly voice, Charles Amos recoiled, jumped off the stool and squeezed between Kevin rks legs and the food preparation table for protection. Kevin rk suppressed augh, looking at Daisy Zane, So there are things that Daisy isnt good at. Daisy Zane looked at him. Some of Kevin rksughter died away, Dont worry, I can cook. Ill handle it. Changing her target, Daisy Zane turned to Charles Amos, Come out; you should go to sleep. Dont hit me. Hmm. Peeking his head out, Charles Amos checked Daisy Zanes expression. Seeing no abnormalities, he stepped out. But just as he reached the kitchen entrance, Daisy Zane lightly smacked his backside, all while holding the child in her other arm. Ah. Charles Amos covered his backside and looked at her, You lied to me. I didnt hit you. Daisy Zane looked down at him, This is a pat of love. Cant you feel it? Under Daisy Zanes gaze, Charles Amos, humiliated, uttered four words, I can feel it. Hearing that, Kevin rkughed again. Good, now go to sleep. Daisy, let him sleep here. Kevin rk suggested with a smile. She looked at him. Ill be here in case the child cries at night, Kevin rk offered, Let Charles sleep in the guest room. No need, I can handle it myself, Daisy Zane said. Listen to me. Kevin rk insisted, Charles, call Juan Wright and ask him to bring our toiletries here. Okay. Charles Amos ran off to make the call. Daisy Zane: The little rascal wasnt listening to her anymore. In the evening, Daisy Zane and the little girl were in the master bedroom, while Kevin rk and Charles Amos went to the guest room. The child was restful after falling asleep, sleeping soundly without waking up. But Daisy was somewhat sleepless, waking up every now and then to nce at the child beside her. After waking up twice, she simply stopped trying to sleep. She turned off the light, opened her cell phone, and downloaded a game to y. Kevin rk was worried that she wouldnt sleep well at night, so he specially came to check on her. Therefore, when he came in, he saw the entire room in darkness, with Daisy leaning against the head of the bed, holding her phone, its glow illumining her face. Daisy heard the sound of the door opening, and used the light of her phone to shine towards the entrance. Seeing that it was Kevin rk, she leaned back against the head of the bed again. Cant sleep? Kevin asked softly as he walked to her bedside. Yeah. Daisy moved over a bit, inviting Kevin to sit on the bed. The child was frightened and cried today, and now shes in a strange environment. Im afraid something might happen to her. Hill Dawson was still unconscious in the hospital. Daisy had brought their child back home, so she needed to make sure the child was returned safe and sound. Kevin rk nced at the little girl: Its all right, shes sleeping very well. Maybe she cried herself to exhaustion. Was Charles Amos this exhausted when he was a child? Kevin asked. Daisy, wearing a Bluetooth headset and ying her game, said, Charles was much more exhausting when he was around one and a half to two years old. Kevin stroked her head. When Charles Amos was one to two years old, Daisy was only eighteen or neen, still a little girl herself. She had trouble taking care of herself and had to look after a child all night. You go to sleep, Ill keep an eye on her, Kevin suggested. Daisy looked up at him. What does that look mean? Do you see me as a wolf? Kevinughed, Are you afraid Ill do something bad? Daisy chuckled softly, her head lowered, as she headshot a character in her game. Is it me or does thatugh sound like youre looking down on me? Kevin joked as he yfully hooked her chin. Youre hearing things, Daisy shut off the game on her phone but left it open for a soft glow. She put it on the bedside table and said, Theres another quilt in the cab. Huh? Youre staying here, arent you? Daisy asked, Or do you n to sit here all night? Kevin fell into silent for a moment and then answered, At first I did n to, but now Go get the quilt. All right. Kevin got up to retrieve the quilt, and Daisy gently nudged the child slightly towards herself. By the time Kevin returned with the quilt, Daisy had cleared a sizable space on the other side of the child. It was certainly enough for Kevin rk to sleep on. I sleep here? Where else do you want to sleep? Daisy asked, Its better for you to be there in case the child rolls over in her sleep. Kevin rk: So he was just a tool after all. Getting into bed quietly, Kevin whispered, Okay, go to sleep. Daisy turned off her phone andy down. The room plunged into darkness. Keviny on his side, looking towards Daisy across the dark. If anyone else had as many secrets as she did, he wouldnt let that person get close to him. But, for the woman before him, he was the one who actively sought herpany. He liked her, starting from love at first sight to a point of no return. He liked her so much that even if there was an unfathomable abyss ahead, he would jump in, even if it meant shattering himself to pieces. He liked her so much that he handled everything with extra caution, taking care of her meticulously, and slowly trying to understand her. Actually, there were many questions Kevin rk wanted to ask Daisy. But he feared that if he crossed the protective line in her heart against the world, Daisy would be annoyed with him. So, he could only wait patiently for Daisy to fully ept him, to trust him, and to initiate the conversation herself. Daisy Kevin rk suddenly whispered her name. But Daisy was already asleep. She stirred at the sound of his voice, waking up slightly, but notpletely awake. Because Kevins voice obviously didnt suggest any emergency. She murmured, Im asleep, I cant hear anything. Kevin chuckled and said, Go back to sleep.. Chapter 168 - 158: Incompatible Blood Types Chapter 168: Chapter 158: Ipatible Blood Types Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane knew Kevin rk was there, so she slept soundly afterwards and didnt wake up again. The child didnt wake up all night but woke up before six oclock in the morning. And it was after kicking Kevin rk in the leg that she woke up. When Kevin rk was woken up by her kick, the first thing he did was look at Daisy Zane. He saw her snuggled under the quilt with a pile of hair sticking out and still asleep. The little girl didnt cry again after waking up. Instead, she stared at Kevin rk with wide eyes, seemingly curious. After sleeping for a night, the childs hair was all messed up, like a little birds nest. But the little girl was beautiful and resembled Melody Collins around the eyes. But Kevin rk really didnt like children. Charles Amos was an exception because of his love for the whole family, but this one this one was to save Daisy Zane from getting tired. So he gently got out of bed, intending to take the child to the living room. Although he moved softly, Daisy Zane still poked her head out of the quilt, nced at them, and murmured, Awake? Yeah, Ill take her out. Kevin rk held the child, walked to the bedside, and gave Daisy Zane a head rub, saying softly, You can sleep a little more. Hmm. Daisy Zane responded and closed her eyes again. But as soon as Kevin rk left the room with the child and gently closed the door, she immediately sat up. The child would definitely need to use the restroom in the morning, and if Third Master might freak out. So she hurriedly got up. As she expected, when she opened the door, the little girl was looking up at Kevin rk while tugging at her pants. Kevin rk was a bit confused and trying tomunicate with her when he saw Daisy Zanee out, Awake already? Ill take her to the restroom. Daisy Zane picked up the child. Let me help. No need. Daisy Zane refused crisply, Youd better make her some breakfast. Kevin rk was stunned by her refusal but quickly agreed, All right, Ill cook. Melody Collins woke up in the early morning, and her cousin told her about the situationthat the child had been taken away by Daisy Zane. After feeling relieved, she soon fell asleep again. She slept until her parents came to the hospital in the morning and woke up again at the sound of their voices in the ward. Kevin rk had left someone at the hospital, who informed him of the news early in the morning. After hearing about it, Daisy Zane bathed the child, changed her clothes,bed her hair, and took her to the hospital. At the hospital, Daisy Zane talked to Melody Collins alone. Her parents stood outside the ward holding their granddaughter, constantly thanking Kevin rk. Later, they left the child with Melody Collins parents. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk then returned to Evesting Pce. On the way back, Kevin rk asked, How does the agent put it? Divorce. Daisy Zane said, The man got involved with thepanys secretary. Although Daisy Zanes emotions and voice didnt change at all, Kevin rk could still sense her anger from the words she used. The man wants to marry the secretary. He doesnt want to take on the reputation of cheating and abandoning his wife and daughter or give up a single penny of his property. So, hes been emotionally abusing Melody Collins recently, trying to force her to file for divorce first. But Melody Collins has already found out about him. Kevin rk said, She insists on confronting him and refuses to let him have his way. Also, shes been transferring their assets during this time. Daisy Zane nced at him, Did you check? I didnt look into it too much, just know shes transferring assets. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane gave him a then why did you ask look. Kevin rk smiled, holding her hand, and said, Im just curious about what happened between the couple to escte things like this. Yesterday, the man found out that Melody Collins has transferred the property. He went home and argued with her during work hours. Daisy Zane said, Then Melody Collins brought up his affair. He hit her. He probably got scared after she started bleeding heavily and was mentally affected. Hence, when we arrived, he picked up a knife, intending to silence her. Kevin rk thought about the knife that fell in front of Daisy Zane and a sh of fury crossed the bottom of his eyes, And the child in her The man got drunk and forced her to have it. Kevin rk gently raised his eyebrows: So, hes a scumbag. As soon as he finished speaking, Michael Jackson, who was driving in front, quickly said, Third Master, Ill take care of it right away. Kevins fingers tapped Daisy Zanes hand: Focus on the heavy blow. Michael Jackson raised the corner of his mouth: Understood. Daisy Zane turned her head to look at Kevin rk, and he looked back at her, showing a gentle smile. Three days of vacation ended just like that. Daisy Zane had to go back to the drama crew in the afternoon so after returning to Evesting Pce, she went to pack a few clothes. Kevin rk went back to his ce to finish up the loose ends of his work, nning to stay at the drama crew with Daisy for a couple of days. Around three in the afternoon, Michael Jackson handed a file to Kevin rk for his signature. When he went to the study, Kevin rk had already finished his work and was standing by the table, looking down at the things on it. The table was filled with photos and paper. As he approached, Michael Jackson realized that many of these things were materials about Daisy Zane that he had once obtained from Cold Green Vige. Right in Kevin rks line of sight was a photocopy of a birth certificate. It was Daisy Zanes birth certificate copy. All of these had been passed from Michael Jacksons hand to Kevin rks. So, Michael Jackson was also well aware of what was written on them. On that birth certificate, the blood type column clearly stated: Type B. Therefore, when Daisy said she had Type A blood at the hospital, both Kevin rk and Michael Jackson had been puzzled for a moment. Before transfusing blood to Melody Collins, the hospital would have checked Daisys blood thoroughly. Since the transfusion took ce, it meant that she had Type A blood. However, the chance of the blood type on a birth certificate being wrong is almost zero. Third Master After a moment of silence, Kevin rk looked up at Michael Jackson: Whats the matter? This file needs your signature. Michael Jackson handed over the file. Kevin rk took it, looked at it and signed his name before returning it to Michael Jackson. But Michael Jackson didnt move with the file in hand. After a while, Kevin rk pointed at a one-inch ck and white photo. It was a picture of Daisy Zane when she was three or four years old, the features already blurred and indistinguishable. He asked: Do you thinkshe looks like them? Michael Jackson nced at the photo, which only showed a row of small white teeth, and hesitated before saying: Third Masterl really cant tell. Kevin rk didnt say anything else. Instead, he took out two more photos. One was of udia Zane in her twenties, and the other was of Johanes Miles in his twenties. Do they look alike? Michael Jacksons lips twitched; udia Zane had a nimble and quiet beauty, and Johanes Miles was quite handsome when he was young, which was why Charles Hobson was so obsessed with him. HoweverDaisy Zane didnt really resemble either of them. Daisy Zane had a very prominent appearance, a cold and stunning beauty. Especially those phoenix eyes, they were so attractive that people couldnt help but be drawn to them. There are actually many children who dont look like their parents Michael Jackson really didnt want to ept the truth. He would rather believe that the blood type on the birth certificate was wrong. So he kept looking for reasons. Chapter 169 - 159: Many Things Can Be Explained Chapter 169: Chapter 159: Many Things Can Be Exined Trantor: 549690339 After Michael finished speaking, the two of them remained silent for a long time. The silence in the study stretched out infinitely. After a while, Michael cautiously spoke up: Butit seemsifits not Daisy Zanemany things can be exined. Harton rk nced at him. Yes, this way, many things can be exined. For example, why Michaels investigation revealed that Daisy Zane never left Cold Green Vige, while the Daisy Zane they know now is acquainted with so many people, almost all of them being leaders in their respective fields, and even has her own power in D Continent. Also, Charles Amos, Wilton Edwards, James Collins These were clearly people she had known for many years. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are many details that are usually overlooked. She knows too many things, some of which should have been cultivated since childhood. For example, her manners, temperament, and posture. Her pipa ying, her dance foundation Moreover, the grandma in Cold Green Vige is a mystery. Cold Green Vige only has books of various knowledge, but there is no trace of her learning these things. Her handwriting. Handwriting can be imitated, but there are some small habits she isnt aware of, so she hasnt changed them either. The today character in today, she always hooks thest stroke upward. But in the homework book seen in Cold Green Vige, the four characters todays homework were written. Although the handwriting is childish, the today character does not have the upward hook on itsst stroke. He should have noticed it earlier. Besides that double bed in Cold Green Vige including the double bed, theres actually room for three people to sleep. Also she directly calls by the name udia Zane. Its not strange to talk to Johanes Miles on the phone and to emphasize those three characters with Johanes Miles. He felt something was wrong at that time, just when she was calling those three characters. Its as if she is calling a stranger, someone who has nothing to do with her. Besides, she doesnt know how to cook. ording to Michaels investigation, Daisy Zanes grandmother was unable to move around easily since Daisy was very young. If she couldnt cook, what would they eat But if she is not Daisy Zane, then who is she? Her name, how old she is, all unknown. And where did the real Daisy Zane go? Why does she impersonate Daisy Zane and imitate her handwriting? Third Master Michael didnt know if he was having a brain fart or what, but suddenly widened his eyes and said, If its really not Daisy Zane, then we dont even know her age. She couldnt be underage, could she? Harton rk: Immediately afterwards, Michael added: If shes not of age, then you As he spoke, his voice trailed off: You would be inducing a minor into a rtionship. Harton rk looked at Michael, tongue tip pressing against his teeth. Besides Michael quietly moved back, If shes underage, regardless of whether its consensual, having a sexual rtionship is a criminal act. Harton rk picked up a book from the side and mmed it onto Michaels leg: No need for you to enlighten me on thew here. Michael originally wanted to dodge, but he failed: I, I just What are you? Harton rk mmed him with the book again, Does she look like a minor? I dont know. Michael said softly, Nowadays, some fourteen or fifteen-year-olds dress up like theyre in their twenties. Harton rk was so angry at him that he wanted to burst out in a curse, Get out of here. Michael was scared and trembled, quickly running towards the door, his hand got hit by the doorknob but he didnt dare to make a sound, he shook his hand and immediately opened the door and left. After Michael left, Harton rk raised his hand to pinch his brow, then put away the things on the table. On the way to the drama crew in the afternoon, Harton rk received a message about the Hobson Family and told Daisy Zane about it. Benjamin was taken away directly when he was discharged from the hospital. Harton rk said, His father took all the bribing matters onto himself. He cleared both Johanes Miles and Charles Hobson. Hobson Group was sealed by the bank this morning. Daisy Zane was ying the game she downloadedst night again. Hearing him speak, she didnt lift her head and asked, What about Benjamins mother? Shes temporarily at the Miles Familys, Harton rk knew what she was thinking, a woman who had lost her husband and son, who might do anything, Ive already sent someone to keep an eye on her. Mm. Daisy Zane hummed in response and continued ying her game. Kevin rk nced at her for a moment without disturbing her and began to type codes on hisputer. In the game interface, only two yers were left, as shown in the top-left corner. Daisy stared at the screen, sliding her view. She quickly found the remaining person, aiming at the tree where he was hiding, and nned to headshot him when he peeked out. A phone call suddenly came in. Daisy furrowed her eyebrows and immediately hung up. However, her game character was killed by the opponent. Daisy looked at the game interface, lightly pursing her lips. Then the call came again. An unknown international call. Kevins eyes were fixed on theputer, but he nced at Daisy from the corner of his eye. He could sense that the person on the other end of the call might not mean well. But as Daisy picked up the call and hadnt even spoken yet, the other side angrily yelled, You really went back to film in your home country, do you have a death wish? The volume was so loud that Daisy couldnt help but move her phone slightly to the side. Not to mention, Kevin heard it very clearly, even the dozing Anisa Cooper in the front was woken up by the noise. Kevin furrowed his eyebrows first. The person on the other end of the phone didnt hear Daisy speak and shouted again, Come back right now! None of your business. Daisy said expressionlessly and somewhat impatiently. Ill give you two days. If you donte back, Ill bring people to catch you myself. You try Daisy didnt finish her sentence when the other side hung up on her. Daisy looked at the disconnected call He seemed quite angry, and she wasnt even mad that her game was interrupted. Any trouble? Kevin asked casually. However, what he was actually thinking was Another mans voice. A young mans voice. A mans voice hed never heard before. And a man who dared to yell at her. Nothing. Daisys attitude made it clear she didnt want to discuss it further, so although Kevin wanted to know, he didnt ask again. Despite iming nothing happened, Daisy sent a message to James Collins: [Mr. Yun seems to have too much free timetely. Find him something to do and dont let hime over bothering us.] James Collins: [No problem, leave it to me.] After sending the message, Daisy opened up her game again. But as soon as she opened it, a low battery notification popped up on her phone screen. Daisy: She nced at Anisa, who had fallen back asleep, and didnt ask her for a charger. Instead, she quit the game and turned off her phone. Just as she was about to recline her seat and take a nap, a phone was handed to her from the side. Daisy looked at the hand holding the phone, paused for a moment, and looked up at Kevin. Use mine to y. Kevin said gently. Daisy hesitated for a moment, took his phone, and unlocked it with the old password. Then she downloaded another game and logged in with her own ount. Through the corner of his eye, Kevin saw Daisys lips curling upward, clearly her mood improved significantly after resuming her gaming. She really was a little girl. A very easy-to-please little girl.. Chapter 170 - 160: Wishful Thinking Chapter 170: Chapter 160: Wishful Thinking Trantor: 549690339 The drama crew had been shooting some light-hearted scenes recently. These scenes were all about the Female Leads life before her family fell into ruin, with her parents and elder brother doting on her. yful, lively, happy, and mischievous. She would act spoiled with her parents, cling to her elder brother for money, spendvishly, and make her brother take the me for her mischief. On the outside, she was the dignified Lady of the Generals Mansion, but behind closed doors, she was a spoiled and cunning little rascal. In fact, since the director had confirmed that Daisy Zane would be ying the Female Lead, he had been worried about her performance in these scenes. After all, Daisy Zanes image, especially her personality, didnt match these scenes. There was no issue with her acting in the scenes after the Female Leads family was annihted; even the role seemed suitable for her. However, portraying the quirky and lively With Daisy Zanes calm, indifferent, and aloof personality, the director was afraid she wouldnt be able to pull it off. But the final result turned out to be even better than what the director had imagined. Daisy Zane could deliver the desired effect, even surpassing the directors expectations. yfulness, mischief, acting spoiled C it all seemed toe to her naturally. Moreover, she could immediately snap out of character after filming. It was as if her character was separate from herself. The director was genuinely astonished by her acting skills. Everyone on set was amazed by Daisy Zanes performance, while only Kevin rk felt heartbroken for her. He always believed that this was how Daisy Zane used to be. She knew how to act spoiled, cunning, yful, willful at times, and she had a sweet smile. But she had wrapped herself inyers, and now all that was left of her was a cold, distant facade that seemed to prevent anyone from getting close. Apart from feeling heartbroken for her Kevin rk couldnt help but find the male actor ying her brother especially annoying. The incessant elder brother calls from Daisy Zane also felt particrly jarring. Kevin rk sat behind the director, watching Daisy Zane through the equipment. In the June weather, the director didnt know why, but he felt an ever-growing coldness behind him, getting colder and colder. It got so cold that the hairs on his arms started standing on end. At the shooting location, Daisy Zane was sitting on the ground, hugging the mans leg, tilting her head up, pouting, and putting on a pitiable expression. Elder Brother, I really only nced at the Night Pearl, and it broke. I didnt touch it. Get up. If you didnt touch it, how could it break? The man tried to tug his clothes, but couldnt move them. Thats Fathers favorite, dont think Ill take the me for you. Will you help me or not? If you dont help me, Ill spread the news of your secret meetings with the Lady of Marquis Manor everywhere. Ill tell everyone! You Elder Brother, Father will scold me. Hes going to hit me. Its just a hit. Daisy Zane said. The male actors response was quite good, speechless and unable to deal with the little girls expressions, Just a hit? Elder Brother. Alright, alright. The man pulled her up. Get up. Youve alreadye of age, what kind of decorum is this? Theres no one else. Cut! The director called it. Alright, thats a pass. Lets eat lunch first, then continue filming. As soon as the director called cut, Daisy Zane was out of character. She pressed her forehead and exchanged a few polite words with the male actor, then left with Anisa Cooper. Kevin rk went ahead to the nanny car. When they arrived, he was on a phone call. Seeing Daisy Zane, he revealed a tender smile, but his voice on the phone remained emotionless, even a bit ruthless, Alright, Ill be there this afternoon. He hung up the phone and said to Anisa Cooper, Naomi, lunch is here, could you go get it? Okay. Take a little longer. Kevin rk added. Daisy Zane looked up at him. Huh? Anisa Cooper was confused for a moment, but she quickly understood, and her face flushed red, Oh, Im really slow, I walk really slowly. As she walked slowly and talked, Anisa ran off. When she was far away, Daisy, holding onto the skirt of her costume, stood in ce, looking at Kevin. Not only was Daisys costume in peach blossom pink today, even her makeup and hairstyle were girly. As a result, her cold and stunning face looked somewhat fierce when she wasnt smiling, like an outwardly ferocious little kitten. Kevin looked at her, opened the car door, and smiled, Get in. Daisy didnt move. Kevin raised an eyebrow, What? Scared? Daisy gave him a disdainful look and got into the car neatly. Kevinughed and followed her into the car. In the car, there were clothes on the seat Daisy usually sat on. After getting in, she leaned down and threw the clothes into the back seat. At this moment, Kevin had already gotten into the car, sitting on the outer seat, and closed the door. He then put an arm around Daisys waist and held her on hisp. Fearing her head would bump against the window, he also protected her head with his other hand. Caught off guard by his sudden move, Daisy braced her hand against the window and the other on his shoulder. She frowned slightly, You Before she could finish speaking, Kevin pressed her head and kissed her At first, Daisy struggled with him, using force on her hands and neck. But soon after, the resistance disappeared. Kevin immediately tightened his arms, holding her even tighter. The quiet car was gradually filled with ambiguous atmosphere. The increasingly chaotic breathing sounds intertwined like vines, growing wildly and tightly entwined. Kevins hand on her waist gently caressed her. Later, it gradually clenched into a fist, trying hard to suppress his own impulses. After a while, Daisy felt as if she could hardly breathe anymore. And only then, Kevin let go of her, kissing her lips twice more. His eyes were red, the depths of his dark pupils deep and enchanting. His desire was seductive and would capture ones heart. Why do you look like youve been bullied? Kevins voice was filled withughter, apanied by a low hoarseness. Daisys heart was beating a bit fast. She slightly pursed her lips and coldly red at Kevin. Her eyes were faintly moist, and her usual coldness seemed to be soaked, making others itch in their hearts as they watched. What are you doing at noon? Daisy asked tly. Kevinughed and looked up at her, I have to go back to Imperial Capital this afternoon. I might be away for a while. So I wanted to give you a kiss. Kevin said, leaning in and kissing her corner of the mouth, I wont be able to see my little girl for a long time. Daisy looked at him and asked, Is that the only reason? Kevin looked her in the eyes, the smile on his face deepening, No, I also want to hear you call me brother, call me brother. Daisy snorted withughter. Youve already called someone else. Kevin said, pinching her hand. His voice was low, even a little weak and vulnerable, quite a contrast from the Kevin who seemed to want to devour someone just a moment ago. It wasnt me who called. Daisy said, It was the Female Lead. I want to hear you call. Kevins voice was like coaxing a child, Is that okay? Daisy continued to look into his eyes, and after a while, she leaned close to his ear. Kevin raised an eyebrow, his heart leaping with anticipation. Then he heard Daisy slowly, and somewhat vindictively, say three words in his ear, In your dreams. Kevin: Chapter 171 - 161: Edward Kirsten Chapter 171: Chapter 161: Edward Kirsten Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk has been away for more than half a month, and hes been very busy, sometimes he only calls Daisy Zane once every other day. Even though hes not around, Daisy Zanes restrictions have not been rxed at all. Every morning, Anisa Cooper watches her take her medicine naggingly, not to mention the weather inte June, she has to drink hot water every day, steaming hot water. The most annoying thing is that everyone in the drama crew gets to eat ice cream, and she doesnt. In the scorching afternoon sun, everyone in the drama crew has an ice cream in hand, and she just watches from the side. Anisa Cooper even eats one while watching her. The main point is, shes footing the bill for all this. All she wanted was to treat the drama crew and sneak an ice cream for herself. She had no idea what benefits Kevin rk had given Anisa Cooper to make her assistant treat her this way. She even took away the ice that she had frozen in her hotel fridge. So, Daisy Zane, who was in a bad mood all afternoon, sent Anisa Cooper back to her ce early after returning to the hotel in the evening. Then she ordered three ice creams from takeout. She ate them while ying a game. She was nning to destroy the evidence after eating, but then Gael Easton suddenly called her and interrupted her. Was it you who leaked my information from M continent? What happened? Daisy Zane poured a ss of wine and slowly walked to the window. What happened?! Gael Easton exploded, The international police have been after me for more than ten days, I have lost so much money because I havent been able to do anything for these ten days! Arent you okay? Daisy Zaneughed. So I think its you whos messing with me. Gael Easton cursed, Who else besides you is so inhumane. Who else besides you could have leaked my whereabouts, leaking them for a few days, then going dark for a few days. Youve been ying both me and the international police! Daisy Zane chuckled softly, Why are you afraid of them? Its a private matter between you two. Oh, youre afraid theyll abuse their power. Im not afraid of him! I just find it troublesome. Youd better fix it now. Gael Easton said, And you, get back here now! Dont wait for me to bring people to catch you. I dont have time. Then why do you think you dont have time. You I have my ns. Daisy Zane interrupted him. What ns do you have? Making it known to the whole world that youre a celebrity in domestic? Gael Easton said, Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you afraid that the guy named Kirsten something wont be able to find you? Arent you escaping? Had enough of the life outside? Daisy Zane took a sip of her wine and didnt say anything. Come back quickly. Gael Easton said, Even if you want to take revenge, you need to make sure youre safe. Youre being a little bit too wordy today. F*ck you. Gael Easton cursed, If it wasnt for your pretty face, I would have killed you a few years ago. It would have saved me a lot of trouble. Im going to sleep. Daisy Zane said indifferently, You better watch out for the international police. You Daisy Zane simply ended the call, and didnt listen to whatever he was saying afterwards. She stood by the window for a while, finished thest bit of her wine, and Daisy Zane was about to go to sleep. But just as she put her wine ss down on the round table beside her, her cell phone rang again. She thought it was Gael Easton calling again, but when she nced at the caller ID, it showed Holt Lawrence. She answered, Whats up? The funds have run out at the Healing Manor again, but our patient is still in a bad way. Theres no sign of recovery, Holt Lawrence said, The people at the Healing Manor believe, his chance of recovery is practically zero. They want to know if we should continue with the treatment. Recalling the man at the Healing Manor, the one she nearly killed, ayer of frost seemed to form in Daisy Zanes eyes: What do you think? Me, my opinion? Holt Lawrence gave it some thought: I think we should do as you say. Daisy Zane fell silent for a moment, then said: Stop treating him. Do whatever you like with him. After these words were spoken, Holt Lawrence likewise fell silent for a moment: Nana Daisy Zanes fingers stayed on the ss surface, writing something stroke by stroke, but ignoring Holt Lawrence. Nana Perhaps Daisy Zanes death, had nothing to do with Edward Kirsten. Hearing the three words Edward Kirsten, Daisy Zanes writing finger paused for a moment. Although 319 and Edward Kirsten are linked, and Daisy Zane died because of 319 Holt Lawrence continued, But we cant be sure that Edward Kirsten was responsible for Daisy Zanes death. Its possible that someone else got hold of 319 through some channel and used it on Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes finger finallypleted thest stroke of the character on the ss surface. Then she slowly clenched her fist: Others. They were living in Cold Green Vige, isted from the rest of the world, barely interacting with people, with no enemies. Why would someone travel all the way to kill them? Holt Lawrence was suddenly at a loss for words. If it werent for me, who would go to a ce like Cold Green Vige to kill an old woman who could barely move and a girl in her twenties. Daisy Zanes voice remained steady, her expression unchanged, but a single tear fell from her left eye,nding directly on the ground, Edward Kirsten, that madman, theres nothing he wouldnt do. He just wanted to tell me. No matter where I am, what Im doing. As long as he wishes, I can never beat him. Daisy Zane reached up to touch the pendant hanging from her neck. That day, if shed just gone home an hour earlier, just an hour. If the car had been driven a little faster, she could have saved them. They wouldnt have been touched by those beasts. But in the photos you sent from the crime scene, both rooms were ransacked. Holt Lawrence said, They were looking for something. If they truly were looking for something important, they wouldnt have killed. Daisy Zane answered quietly. You also once suspected Victoria Zanes identity. Holt Lawrence said. Daisy Zane didnt respond. At that time, she had indeed been suspicious when they couldnt find the murderer, so she had gone to Johanes Miles for answers, but came up empty-handed. Nana, youre carrying too much on your own. Holt Lawrence said, Not every incident involving Edward Kirsten needs to be your responsibility. Daisy Zane wiped the tear off her eyshes, paused for a moment and said: No it doesnt. If anything happened to you, and it was rted to Edward Kirsten, I wouldnt interfere. Holt Lawrence: I knew it, you wouldnt show me your human side. I believe its a waste. I wont bother you anymore, Im going to sleep. So early, are you trying to nurse your health? Daisy Zane teased. None of your business. With that, Holt Lawrence hung up the phone. But after hanging up, Holt Lawrence thought about it and ended up transferring some money to the Healing Manor. And he included a message: [Please do your best to treat him.] As for Daisy Zane, after hanging up the phone, she just kept staring at the ss surface, at the characters she had written. Her mind was filled with vivid, bloody images, the ground drenched in fresh blood, a sea ame reaching for the sky, gunfire ringing out everywhere She closed her eyes and furrowed her brow, massaging her temple. The surrounding darkness swirled and swooped down on her like a giant whirlpool, threatening to swallow her whole. All of a sudden, the rooms doorbell rang, tugging her back from the abyss of darkness. Daisy Zane opened her eyes and looked at her reflection on the ss. She massaged her temple again, took a deep breath and went to open the door. Chapter 172 - 162: Chasing Me Away? Chapter 172: Chapter 162: Chasing Me Away? Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had never been in the habit of looking out through the cat-eye, but today, her hand on the doorknob, she paused and nced out through it. Then she saw a familiar face. She didnt notice it herself, but the speed at which she opened the door was a bit faster than usual. The room door opened, and Kevin rk stood outside, wearing ck suit pants and a shirt. The top button of the shirt was undone. Above that, vermilion thin lips, a delicate nose tip, a high-bridged nose, narrow and elongated eyes, profound and enchanting, filled with a gentle smile. His hair was also a little shorter than thest time they met, probably just trimmed. The hair on the right side could just cover a little bit of his eyebrow tail. What? Dont you recognize me after not seeing me for more than half a month? Kevin rk raised his hand and touched her face. Daisys eyshes trembled, Why are you back? Werent there a few more days to go? I missed you so much, Kevin said, so I came back early. Daisy stepped aside to let him in, her eyes never leaving him. Kevin brought his suitcase in and closed the door with ease. However, as soon as he put the suitcase down and straightened up, Daisy stepped forward and rested her forehead on his shoulder. Her arms didnt move, hanging loosely at her sides. Kevin was momentarily stunned, then immediately raised his hand to hug her. He could sense that Daisys mood was not good, but he didnt expect her to suddenly act like this. It seemed that something was really bothering her. Whats wrong? he asked gently, Do you miss me that much? I just need to lean on you for a while, Daisy said softly. Kevin lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, Im here. If youre tired, you can rest for a while. Daisy didnt say anything, just quietly sniffing the scent of eaglewood on him. After a while, she raised her hand and grabbed the shirt on his waist. Kevin didnt say anything either, just letting her lean on him quietly at the entrance. After a long time, Daisy moved and turned her face to rest on his shoulder. She moved the fingers grabbing his shirt, stretched out her index finger, and tickled Kevins waist through the shirt. Hey, little girl, what are you doing? Kevin asked with a smile. Daisy didnt say anything but tickled him again. Kevin caught her hand, holding it in his own and said, If you keep messing around, youll be responsible for the consequences, understand? Daisyughed, withdrew from his embrace, nced at him, and then walked into the room. Kevin watched her back, somehow feeling that she was just using him and then throwing him aside. Daisy went to the kitchen and simply brewed him a cup of tea, handing it to him saying, The directors gifted tea. Kevin sniffed it, not bad, Is this show about to wrap up? Yeah, almost, Daisy also poured herself a ss of water to drink, There are a few more scenes to shoot outside. Where are they going? The desert, Daisy thought for a moment, It should be mainly going west, but Im not exactly sure where. Kevin nodded and then sat down on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, he saw an empty ice cream box and two ice cream wrappers on the tea table. Daisy followed his gaze and her brow twitched suddenly. Kevin looked at it for a while, then looked up at Daisy, Little girl, Exin this. Naomi Nelson ate it, Daisy said indifferently, shifting the me as she sat on the sofa across from him. If it was her eating it, leaving a mess and not cleaning up, this assistant can be fired, Kevin stared straight into her eyes, his tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness. Daisy: Kevin kept staring at her. After a moment of eye contact, Daisy asked, Did you cancel the room when you left? Are you still staying upstairs this time? Changing the subject. Kevin looked at her for two more seconds, then took a sip of tea and said, The room wasnt canceled, its still the same one. Oh, Daisy rested her elbow on the back of the sofa, supporting her temple with her hand, Then you should rest early? Are you trying to chase me away? Is it that obvious? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and asked. Kevin rk: Then Ill think of a less obvious way to say it. Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk looked at her, took a gentle breath, and threw all the ice cream boxes and bags on the table into the trash can. After finishing, he looked at her again and said, I wont ask anymore. Alright, then I wont kick you out. Kevin rk smiled helplessly: Come here, why are you sitting so far away? Just lean on me and then throw me aside. Daisy Zane nced at him, then got up and sat down beside him: How long was the ne ride? More than ten hours. Kevin rk hugged her and buried his face in her neck, rubbing gently, You changed your shower gel. Yeah. Daisy Zane felt a little ticklish and moved slightly, Naomi changed it Havent eaten yet, have you? I told the hotel when I came up, itll be sent upter. Because they were staying at this hotel, Kevin rk couldnt get used to the hotels food, so he specially hired a chef from the Imperial Capital. The chef specifically cooked meals for Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. It had been a while since it was sent up, so it was obviously being freshly made. It smells good. Kevin rk said, giving her neck a gentle kiss. Daisy Zane dodged again: Can you behave? Kevin rk smiled and whispered softly, indulging her, Alright. The deep voice in her ear and the warm breath on her corbone made Daisy Zane curl her fingertips, feeling her skin a little hot. But Kevin rk didnt show any intention of letting her go, so she didnt move and let him hold her. It wasnt until the doorbell was pressed that Kevin rk kissed Daisy Zane again and let her go to open the door. Afterwards, Kevin rk sat on the sofa eating, while Daisy Zane picked up her cell phone and sat next to him, ying a game. This lotus root is good. Kevin rk picked up a piece and brought it to Daisy Zanes mouth, Try it. The lotus root slice was quiterge, so Daisy Zane took a bite and looked at it, then lowered her head to continue ying her game. After a fierce gunfight ended, Daisy Zane looked up to eat the rest of the lotus root slice, but she didnt see the half-eaten piece on the te next to her. What are you looking for? Kevin rk said, feeding her a piece of deboned fish. Daisy Zane chewed slowly, looking at Kevin rk. Want another piece? Daisy Zane shook her head, lowering her gaze back to the game. He actually ate her lotus root Kevin rk hooked up the corner of his lips and continued eating. After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Kevin rk was about to leave. Daisy Zane escorted him to the door: Arent you taking your suitcase? There are things in there for you. Dont tell me theres more medicine? Daisy Zane frowned. There are also snacks. Kevin rk said, Some snacks I brought from M Continent. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, so he had been to M Continent. Little girl Kevin rk patted her head, Lets discuss something. Huh? Daisy Zane looked up at him. In the future, dont eat so many ice creams at once. Kevin rk said in a negotiating tone, Deal? Daisy Zane thought for a moment, Two? One. Kevin rks tone was fierce. Alright. Dont try to deceive me. Kevin rk leaned in closer, Ill find out. Kevin rk smiled, kissing the corner of her lips, Im leaving, get some rest. Daisy Zane casually responded.. Chapter 173 - 163: Car Accident Chapter 173: Chapter 163: Car ident Trantor: 549690339 Upon finishing the shooting at Truro Film City, the drama crew moved to the next shooting location. It happened that Daisy Zane had a day off, so she nned to pay a visit to Charles Amos in the Evesting Pce and rest for a day. Okay, its all here. Anisa Cooper checked all the luggage, got into the nanny car, and said, Lets go. Daisy Zane was working on a design draft using a tablet. Hearing the conversation, she handed Anisa a bottle of water with the cap already unscrewed. Anisa took it and drank a sip: Thank you, Daisy. Daisy Zane responded without looking up. It doesnt seem like we brought a lot of things, but its quite a bit when cleaning up, Anisa said, Daisy, Sister Emily told me yesterday that another clothing brand wants you to be their spokesperson, and if you say yes, theyll provide clothes for you all year round. No need, Daisy Zane said while drawing, I have clothes to wear Hows Sister Emily doing? Shes recovering well, Anisa said, I saw her on a video yesterday, and herplexion looked good. And her mood seemed fine as well. Hmm, maybe its because shes away from men. Kevin rk nced at her with a raised eyebrow. Feeling his gaze, Daisy Zane quickly changed her response, Maybe its because shes away from the scumbag. Anisa couldnt help but smile when she saw the doting yet helpless look on Kevin rks face. A whileter, the driver got in, and Daisy Zane handed him a bottle of water as well. As the car drove on, Anisa sat in the co-pilot seat, and after replying to a couple of messages, she said, Daisy, your poprity is really high these days. Yeah, I saw it, Daisy Zane replied, Someone is spreading rumors that I slept with Serena Buster. Anisa just took a sip of water and almost spewed it all over the windshield. She hurriedly wiped it off with tissue paper and eximed, I, I didnt see that? After Fall of the Quince aired, Daisy Zanes poprity skyrocketed. Not only did she receive numerous endorsement offers and scripts, but there were also popr variety shows and interviews. Of course, these were all forwarded to Hill Dawson, but Daisy Zane didnt want to ept any endorsements, interviews, or most of the scripts. With famees controversy, and there had been plenty of negative voices. For instance, many rumors sprouted. Her supposed rtionship with Serena Buster was one of them. The movies director mentioned Daisy Zane suggested casting the neer, Serena, in an interview. Gradually, the rumors about the two of them spread. Spections include her being Serenas backer, that they were in a romantic rtionship, and that Daisy Zane seemed to have a preference for women. What kind of image did she have, anyway? The key point was that so many people believed it, and many fans shipped them. She was genuinely puzzled. So, she asked Holt Lawrence to take down that post. Sothats why they call you her husband online? Kevin rk looked at her and asked. Daisy Zane looked up and met his eyes, Do you want to try calling me that Kevin rk: Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, Third Master, stay away from the inte if youre bored. Work hard, make a living. Kevin rk smiled, Okay. Even though Anisa was in amitted rtionship and even engaged, she felt that Daisy and Kevin were more loving. After some silence, Anisa continued, Daisy, dont you really want to ept an endorsement? I saw some clothes from one brand that were quite nice. Are they nicer than what I usually wear? Uhnot really, Anisa honestly replied. She hadnt seen Daisy Zane shopping for clothes, but she did see many of her clothes. Most of them were skirts suitable for various seasons. Of course, there were also coats, down jackets, and the like. All of them were beautifully crafted with fine details and unique designs. As filming took up her time, these outfits remained untouched in her wardrobe. Daisy, you dont seem to enjoy shopping very much, Anisa observed. Its not that I dont like it. Hmm? I really hate it, said Daisy Zane. Anisa Cooper could tell that she really hated it. Her tone sounded like she would blow up all the shopping malls the next second. Daisy, can I ask you a question? Youve already asked so many, whats one more? Daisy Zane said, Go ahead. The jealous man Kevin was silently jealous again. He seemed to have more patience with this little girl than with him. Anisa giggled and asked, Daisy, where do you get your clothes from? I always feel like theyre not bought by you. Daisy Zane was looking at her tablet, pondering what color of diamonds to use on the side of her bracelet. Hearing her words, she said, I did some odd jobs for a clothingpany. They paid me with clothes. Ah? Anisa widened her eyes, You do odd jobs too, Daisy? Mm-hmm, Daisy Zane said seriously, Forced by life. Kevin rk: Anisa Cooper: If she hadnt seen her drinking a bottle of wine worth seven figures, she would have believed her words. It took almost an hour to drive back to Evesting Pce from the drama crew. Anisa chatted for a while and then fell asleep after ying with her cell phone for a while. In the car, except for the sound of Kevin typing on a keyboard and Daisy asionally tapping on the screen, there was silence. Both of them were doing their own things, very focused, without disturbing each other. The car was going a bit fast but smooth, merging with traffic while going onto the bridge. However, just as they reached the middle of the bridge, the body of the car was suddenly hit, giving it a harsh jolt. Kevin immediately grabbed Daisy Zanes hand, then closed hisputer and looked out the car window. Daisy Zane also looked at the window on his side. Anisas head was knocked against the car window and woke up with a start, At that very moment, before the driver could correct the cars position, the car was hit hard again, harder than the first time. The driver could not regain control, and the nanny car charged straight towards the railing of the bridge. Kevin just saw the traffic on the bridge being stopped. The first business car that caused the ident was already parked on the side of the road. The second car to hit them was also a business car of the same type, speeding at them. Then the nanny car broke through the barrier and fell into the river below. Ah! Anisa was so frightened that she instinctively hugged her head. Honking and screaming filled the air along with the sound of the vehicle crashing through the barrier. Kevin immediately tried to open the car door. The moment the nanny car touched the water, the door was opened, allowing arge amount of water to pour into the car. However, the moment the car collided with the waters surface, it was subjected to a huge impact. The airbags deployed, and the driver and Anisa were knocked unconscious by the airbags. Kevin held Daisy Zanes shoulder tightly, pressing her against the seat, but her head still got knocked a little. At that moment, Daisy Zanes head suddenly felt like it was exploding with pain. Suddenly, a series of unfamiliar images flooded into her mind. She squeezed her eyes shut as the images in her head became clearer. She felt like an experiencer and an observer at the same time. The surrounding explosions, gunshots, and the sky full of mes. A sniper rifle with a reflective scope shed before her eyes. She ran desperately to protect someone but was instead hit by a motorcycle racing out of nowhere, falling off the cliff Into the icy cold sea It seemed like someone was calling her She couldnt hear clearly, nor could she see clearly. Chapter 174 - 164: It’s Good that Nothing’s Wrong Chapter 174: Chapter 164: Its Good that Nothings Wrong Trantor: 549690339 The car was gradually sinking deeper underwater. Harton rk unbuckled his and Daisy Zanes seat belts, noticing that Daisy had her eyes closed and was unresponsive. He became anxious andpletely ignored the two unconscious people in the front. He brought Daisy out of the car, preparing to swim upwards with her. However, as soon as they left the car, Daisy opened her eyes. She tried to take a breath and ended up choking on water. Harton immediately covered her mouth, anxiously looking at her, his eyes asking if she was okay. Daisy finally recognized Harton and immediately regained herposure. Both of them were underwater, their hair floating. Daisy seldom saw Harton in such a state of urgency. She shook her head, eyebrow furrowing at the sight of the bleeding wound on his forehead. Seeing that she was alright, Harton continued to ascend with her. But Daisy tugged at him and pointed back towards the car. Harton, who was focused on her, only then remembered that there were still two people left in the car. He signaled for Daisy to swim up first while he went back to rescue the others. The car was still sinking, water filling up the interior. The water pressure inside and outside the car became almost equal. Harton pulled open the car door by the drivers seat with force. He pulled out the driver first and then, when attempting to get Anisa Cooper, Daisy opened the car door from another side and dragged Anisa out. They shared a nce, each of them carrying a person, and continued to swim upwards. But after a short while, they saw a group of people swimming towards them from a distance. They shared another nce. Harton shook his head, indicating it was not his teaming. If they were not his team and not rescuers, then likely they wereing to kill them. The swift approach of the five men offered them an answer. Upon the sight of them, both Harton and Daisy reached a unified decision C to ignore them and continue swimming upward. Because not only the two unconscious people but also they themselves needed to surface soon. It was until the five men got close and made the first attack, that Harton and Daisy responded. At first, they held nothing in their hands, probably intending to cover Harton and Daisys mouth to suffocate them underwater. Under the water resistance, Daisy, hugging Anisa Cooper with one arm, managed to knock one out with the other hand. Harton, after knocking one out with a punch, Pulled out their knives and aimed at them. As they lunged, Harton dodged, snatched their knives, and with a flick of his wrist, plunged the knife into the mans right ribs. He didnt hesitate in the slightest. On Daisys side, she seized the Spring Knife and held it against his throat. With a little more force, she could slit his throat. But to avoid subsequentplications, Daisy timely withdrew her hand, stabbed the knife into his right shoulder, pulled it out and then kicked him away. Just at that moment, another man appeared behind Daisy with a knife, very close. The knife was just a bit away from piercing Daisys back. Harton immediately swam over to Daisys side, without hesitation, he covered the de with his hand. The angle at which Harton was positioned caused a visual error. The de was not so close, and Daisy could have dodged. But when it came to Daisy, he didnt want to take any risks. Even if it meant getting hurt himself or being mistaken, he didnt want her to be in any danger. Daisy turned her head and saw Harton holding the knife, blood blending with water and floating out. Her eyes suddenly sharpened, she stabbed the Spring Knife into the mans neck. Along with Harton, she kicked him away. Daisy wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, bubbles floated out. Harton shook his head, assuring her that he was okay. Together, they then hurriedly swam upward. Breaking the surface, Daisy took a sharp breath and wiped the water off her face. She immediately checked Hartons wound. Hartons face was also damp, his hair swept back, revealing his handsome face. Having been underwater for a while, he was panting, and the corners of his eyes were red. But Daisy didnt have the time to admire his face. She immediately turned her attention to his hand. The surrounding water had all turned red. Daisy Zane cursed, Are you fucking insane, using your hands to grab! Upon hearing her curse, Harton rk choked back a cry. That cid politeness she always conveyed, no matter how aloof she appeared on the surface, suddenly vanished. In this manner, she resembled a bandit chieftainas ferocious, cold, and ruthless as one. Over there! There is a person there! Cries erupted from the bridge. The rescue team arrived swiftly, spotted them, and quickly directed a lifeboat towards them. Daisy Zane ignored the others and promptly grasped his hand. There was a wound across his palm and a cut on each of his four fingers. The cuts seemed quite deep as they were continuously bleeding. Did you hurt anywhere else Shut up! Im fine Daisy Zane shot him a cold nce. Harton rk coughed a couple more times, then reluctantly closed his mouth, no longer daring to speak. But he silently observed Daisy Zane, checking whether she was hurt anywhere. The lifeboat arrived shortly after. First, they got the driver and Anisa Cooper onboard. The rescuers prioritized treating them. Harton rk and Daisy Zane boarded another one. The driver and Anisa Cooper regained consciousness on the lifeboat. But they were still promptly taken to the hospital along with the other two. On the way to the hospital, Harton rk borrowed a cell phone to call Michael Jackson. By the time they arrived at the hospital, Michael Jackson and his crew were already there. As someone at the scene had taken pictures of Daisy Zane, numerous reporters were waiting at the hospital entrance. Michael Jackson had the reporters held back to prevent them from sneaking into the hospital. Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright also controlled the news online. Allonzo Hobson told all the media outlets directly that if anyone dares to report without uracy, they would share the same fate as Zealot Media. At the hospital, all four of them were examined thoroughly. The driver and Anisa Cooper both had mild concussions. They were feeling dizzy and nauseous, so they were temporarily hospitalized. Harton rk had a bruise on his shoulder from a bump in the car and a minor cut on his forehead. Other than that, he was fine except for the severe cuts on his hand, which needed stitches. As for Daisy Zane, she was not hurt at all. She only hit her head in the car, which hurt for a while, but she was fine after the pain subsided. After her examination, she immediately headed over to where Harton rk was. But as soon as she opened the door, Harton rk was waiting for her outside. What did the doctor say? How are you? Both spoke at the same time. Harton rkughed a little, Im fine, the wound is not deep, its just a flesh wound, and the bleeding has stopped. Ill get stitched up in a bit, no need to worry. Daisy Zane frowned upon hearing this, Will it leave a scar? No. Harton rk took her into his arms with his other hand, How about you? Are you hurt anywhere? No, everything is fine. Daisy Zane buried her face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Her voice muffled. During the car ident, Harton rk used all his strength to press her into the seat to minimize her injuries. But he didnt take care of himself at all. As long as youre fine. Harton rk hugged her arm with a bit more force, pulling her closer, his voiceced with lingering fear, As long as youre fine. That moment when he couldnt wake Daisy Zane up, for the first time, he truly understood the weakness that fear could bring. It could indeed make a person feel cold to the core, leaving their mind nk. What about your head? Its just a minor cut. Harton rk said.. Chapter 175 - 165: Under Alvin Phantom’s Command Chapter 175: Chapter 165: Under Alvin Phantoms Command Trantor: 549690339 After making a call to Michael Jackson and briefly exining the situation, he swiftly arranged everything. Kevin rk went to get stitches, without wanting Daisy Zane to follow him. Daisy Zane didnt follow him in, she just waited outside. Her cell phone was now submerged at the bottom of the river inside the nanny car. She borrowed a cell phone from Jackson and called Holt Lawrence. Its me. Ah, are you okay? Lawrence asked, I saw the news. Im fine. Daisy Zane leaned on the chair, looking up at the wall opposite her, Find out who caused the ident. Ive already checked it out, Lawrence said, I looked it up as soon as I saw the news online. Do you want me to send you the information? To your phone? No need, Daisy Zane closed her eyes and said, Just give me a brief overview. Alright, Lawrence continued, The mastermind is Benjamin Hobsons mother. Daisy Zane pinched her fingers. Shes currently staying with the Miles Family. The mobile number she used to contact the outside world was previously used by a servant of the family, Lawrence exined, She also borrowed a high-interest loan using the servants identity. Daisy Zane kept pinching her fingers, knowing that Benjamins mother must be aware of Kevin rks people keeping an eye on her, so she used someone elses mobile number to contact the outside world. She borrowed 10 million from the high-interest loan and gave it to a small foreign gang, Lawrence continued, The gang is all about taking money to do business. As long as the money is in ce, theyll do anything. I found the gang by tracing the car that hit you and then traced it back to Benjamins mother. The target was me. Yes, her main demand in the text messages was to target you, Lawrence said, Although Benjamins mother used someone elses mobile number, she still used her own original phone. I traced her phone to confirm it was her. Daisy Zane opened her eyes, and they were bloodthirsty. It was her fault that Kevin rk got hurt and nearly cost the lives of the driver and Anisa Cooper. Nana, however, Benjamins mother canpletely deny any involvement, iming the servant used her phone, Lawrence exined, Without concrete evidence that it was her, its difficult to pin down the responsibility. Besides, being able to borrow a high-interest loan under a servants identity, thats not easy to deal with. Daisy Zane let out a softugh: There are ways to make her confess. That gang, take them down. And, have your guys wait at the Miles ce. Lawrence and Robinson Scott had people stationed in Truro City. They didnt follow Daisy Zane on a daily basis but were always ready to be called upon. Lawrence paused for a moment, not knowing why she was so angry, but he quickly replied, Okay. After hanging up the phone, she sat in her seat for a while. She got up, returned the phone to Jackson and said, When Kevin rkes outter, tell him I left first for something. Give me the car keys. Jackson hesitated,pletely taken aback by Daisy Zanes murderous demeanor, Miss Zane, what, what are you going to do? Settling the score. There are reporters at the entrance, Jackson said. What about the parking lot? Daisy Zane frowned. Theres no one in the parking lot, Jackson replied, But my car is at the hospital entrance. Whos in the parking lot? Since he knew there were no reporters in the parking lot, there must be their people there. Jackson didnt really want to say and tried to hold her back, but her aura was no less than that of the Third Master. He couldnt help but answer, Young Master Hobson and Juan Wright. Daisy Zane nced at him and turned to leave. Jackson wanted to stop her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Daisy Zane suddenly turned around. Her index finger pressed against her lips, making a hush gesture, and then she pointed to the room where Kevin rk was being treated. Jackson was startled and the words stuck in his throat, causing a painful sensation. He then tightly closed his mouth, watching Daisy Zane disappear before his eyes. He now needed to think about how to exin everything to Kevin rk when he came out. When the elevator opened at the parking lot, Juan Wright was standing in front of it, about to go upstairs. Miss Zane? Juan Wright called out and then looked back into the elevator, Wheres the Third Master? Hes getting stitches. Daisy Zane walked straight out, Wheres the car parked? Over there. Juan Wright was confused and a bit afraid of Daisy Zane right now, but he led her to the car first, Miss Zane, where are you going? The Miles Family. Juan Wright suddenly stopped, not quite believing what he just heard. Daisy Zane also stopped and looked at him, Lead the way, hurry up. Juan Wright sped up towards the car, saying as they walked, Miss Zane, what what are you going to do at the Miles ce? What do you think? Juan Wright inhaled sharply. He thought his investigation had been fast enough, but looking at Daisy Zane, he believed her backing was just as skilled as the Chairman of the Celestial Pivot. These people were incredibly skilled. Xavier Dominic and Juan Wright both worried that Daisy Zane would be bullied if she went alone, so they apanied her to the Miles Family. As they arrived outside the Miles Family vi, they saw a line of ck Mercedes-Maybachs parked outside, stretching down the road. What the hell? Xavier Dominic watched the scene from the car, Whose power is this? What are they up to? Lucia, dont worry, its just a small scene. We can call for backup too. No need, Daisy Zane said, preparing to get out of the car. Xavier Dominic urged, Lucia, dont get out yet, figure out the situation first Before he could finish, Daisy Zane had already left the car. Juan Wright and Xavier Dominic exchanged nces before quickly getting out of the car as well. Then they saw a man emerge from the first car opposite and run towards them. As soon as the man appeared, all the people in the cars behind him got out too. Standing tall and uniform in their ck suits. Seeing the man running towards them, Juan Wright and Xavier Dominic both moved in front of Daisy Zane, shielding her tightly. Daisy Zane: . What do you want? Xavier Dominic dropped his usualzy demeanor altogether. The man nced at them, then looked past them to see Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane came out from the side. The man immediately moved to the side as well, bowing slightly and saying, Second Branch, awaiting yourmand. There was no specific title for her, and in order to hide her identity further, he had omitted four words. It should have been, Under themand of Alvin Phantoms Second Branch, awaiting your orders. But from his tone and movements, one could see his respect, or rather, awe. Juan Wright and Xavier Dominic very neatly and slowly turned their heads to look at Daisy Zane, their faces filled with astonishment. Daisy Zane had her hands in her pockets, her expression unchanged throughout, but her whole body was filled with a murderous aura. She whispered, Surround them outside. Control the situation inside. The mans head lowered further and he replied, Yes! Then he straightened up, turned around, and raised his hand towards the people behind him. Everyone immediately took action Chapter 176 - 166: Live Stream is Out Chapter 176: Chapter 166: Live Stream is Out Trantor: 549690339 The door of the Miles Familys home opened, and Daisy Zanes people swarmed in. From the entrance to the vi entrance, guards stood on both sides of the road. Daisy Zane entered the vi and nced at its exterior before retracting her gaze. Juan Wright and Allonzo Hobson looked at each other and then followed her into the vi. As soon as they reached the entrance, a shout came from inside. It was Johanes Miless voice, Who are you? What are you doing! Breaking into a private residence, be careful, Ill call the police. There was also Charles Hobsons voice: What are you doing? Who let you in? Johanes Miles may have been stopped from calling the police. He shouted again, I dare anyone to touch me?! Let him call the police. Daisy Zane stepped into the vi and said, Dont stop him; itll save us some trouble. As soon as her voice came out, the sound in the living room suddenly disappeared. Daisy Zane walked into the living room and stood at the entrance of the living room. After seeing theyout inside, she didnt walk any further. Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright followed her, like guards on either side. Upon seeing Daisy Zane, the Miles family members seemed to have paused, watching her in silence. Daisy Zane? Charles Hobson was the first to speak, but she remained motionless after speaking. The first to react was the Old Master of the Miles Family, who was standing on the stairs and preparing to go down. He held the handrail and went down immediately.pletely ignoring the dark crowd in the living room. and said affectionately, Is Daisy here? His voice was so affectionate that it seemed as if Daisy Zane often came back. As soon as the Old Master spoke, Johanes Miles came to his senses. He looked at Daisy Zane and then at the two people behind her. He didnt know Juan Wright, but he did know Allonzo Hobson. The young master of the Imperial Capital, who had been ying with the Third Master of the rk Family since childhood. If they could build a rtionship with him, the Miles Family would be able to revive even from bankruptcy. Young Master Hobson? Johanes Miles immediately put on a smile and straightened his clothes, Daisy, please bring Young Master Hobson in to sit. Why are you standing at the door? Hurry up and make some tea. The servants nced at the ferocious ck-clothed men beside them, and no one dared to move. No, thank you, Director Miles. Allonzo Hobson smiled and said, We wouldnt dare drink this tea. What if we end up horizontal after drinking it, its not worth it. Johanes Miles was stunned, and the smile on his face froze for a moment: Young Master Hobson, you really have a sense of humor. Not at all, Im just telling the truth. Allonzo Hobson decided to maintain his smiling face to the end. Frightened by the situation, Johanes Miles was choked by Allonzo Hobsons words and couldnt speak at all. The Old Master walked directly to Daisy Zane, leaning on his cane and saying softly, Daisy, is there something wrong? Tell me about it, and the Old Master will help you. Daisy Zane nced at him, not wanting to waste words with him and looked directly at Charles Hobson: Im looking for Jasmine Anderson; get her out. My sister-inw? Charles Hobson frowned, What do you want her for? Let here out on her own, or Ill have her dragged out. Charles Hobson didnt move, and from the look on his face, he probably didnt intend to do so either. Daisy Zane looked directly at the man who had reported to her outside just now. Receiving her gaze, the man raised his hand and gestured to search the vi. The groups actions were swift and disciplined. Daisy, Daisy, we can talk about it. The Old Master of the Miles Family said, Dont cause unnecessary trouble. Yes, yes, Johanes Miles echoed. This is my home. Who told you to search? You are breaking thew. Im going to call the police! Charles Hobson shouted, Youd better stop right now! As she spoke, the door of the first-floor guestroom was already kicked open. Another group was about to reach the second floor. Daisy Zane, what the hell do you want?! Charles Hobson stared at her. Daisy Zane looked up to meet her gaze and said softly, Let me remind you. Whether this is your home or not depends on my mood. Something suddenly urred to Daisy Zane, and the trace of ruthlessness in her eyes scared her. Her legs went weak, and she copsed onto the sofa beside her. Meanwhile, Jasmine Anderson from the third floor also came out: What do you want with me? The person who had already gone up to the third floor stopped and asked Jasmine to go downstairs. Daisy Zane nced at her without speaking, then lowered her gaze, waiting for Jasmine toe down. Lucia, if theres something to talk about, lets sit down and discuss it, Old Master Miles said, There are still guests here, its so impolite. But Daisy didnt pay attention to him. While waiting for Jasmine toe downstairs, the man in ck brought Amelia Miles from the second floor and snatched her cell phone. What are you doing? Dont touch me! Amelia cried. As soon as she resisted, the man in ck grabbed her arm and pulled her straight downstairs. Amelia struggled: Let me go! Let me go! Youre hurting me! However, the man in ck was merciless, and he took Amelia right before Daisy: She was live-streaming from the second floor with her cell phone. Allonzo Hobson widened his eyes, his heart sinking as he quickly took out his cell phone and hurried to make a call for help. Juan Wrights first reaction was also to grab hisputer, turn around, and run outside. Only Daisy calmly took the cell phone, nced at Amelias live stream, and then at the number of people watching the stream. Over a hundred people, just increasing but not decreasing. However, growth was slow. There are really people watching. Daisy held the phone, with the whole phone focused on herself. Filming from bottom to top, the angle wasnt great. But the 360-degree wless Daisy Zane still looked good on the screen. Sister, dont film yourself, turn it off quickly. Allonzo just made a call and arranged help. He was preparing to make another call. Its futile! Amelia red at Daisy, her face full of malicious smiles, Ive been live-streaming since your people came in! Its already been broadcasted! Just wait for your reputation to be ruined. No matter who you call, it wont help unless you can make people forget. Really? Daisy chuckled lightly. Then Allonzo Hobson saw thements on the live stream and the voice on the phone suddenly stop. Sea King: [Yes, Boss, we have been watching you. Someone with a white name sent us the link, saying it was a good chance to see you.] Fuck Heaven Fuck Earth: [Thats right, the one with the white name, he even took money. We bought the link from him. Just to see you.] Yesterday Ate Too Many Chili Peppers: [Thats right, its been a long time since west saw you. The distance between us cant quench the love we feel for our Boss. My love for Boss is like the raging river, wave after wave, waves in my heart.] Todays KPI Task: [I just popped up to say hello, my KPI task is notplete yet, so Ill leave first.] Little Lazy Crowd Clothes: [Boss, eat more, youve suffered.] Hope Endures: [To the person above, please type the words correctly. My boss must be the attacker.] Seeing the Boss Costs Eighty-Eight: [What do you mean by attacker or receiver? I just came in and didnt see it. Does Boss have a girlfriend?!] I Belong to the Boss: [What! Boss has a girlfriend!] Sea King: [Spread the word, Boss has a girlfriend.] Broke with Only Money Left: [What! Boss is the receiver?!?!?!] Young Master Hobson? Young Master Hobson? The person on the other side of the phone, when Allonzo didnt respond, called out for him. Allonzo came back to his senses, looked at Daisy, and said something on the phone, Ah, that, that its nothing. His voice was floating, barely audible even to himself. Seeing that thements on the live stream became more and more skewed, Daisy whispered, Did you think I wouldnt know who you are if you changed your usernames? Instantly, thements quieted down, and no one dared to speak anymore. I ! ! ! Allonzo took another deep breath, looking at Daisy. He felt as though he had encountered some sort of demon or that he hadnt woken up yet.. Chapter 177 - 167: Settling Accounts Chapter 177: Chapter 167: Settling ounts Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane threw the cell phone to Amelia Miles and looked down at her fingertips, saying, You think your live stream can be broadcasted? You, you Amelia looked at thements on the screen in disbelief. The camera was no longer aimed at Daisy Zane, and thements came back to life. [Ouch, that scared me. This woman doesnt look like a good person.] [Damn! Shes so ugly.] [Little girl, I advise you to be kind. You cant beat our boss.] [Hey girl, please move the screen away from your face, I feel a bit nauseous.] These people were ridiculing Amelia relentlessly. Daisy Zane nced over each of the Miles family members and whispered, Forget the live streaming; do you think the CCTV cameras in your house still work? Everyone in the Miles family stared at Daisy Zane in horror. Amelia looked at thements insulting her, then immediately turned off the live stream and threw her cell phone on the ground. She grabbed a handful of hair, irritated and muttered something. If I wanted to, I could make sure none of you leave this vi, Daisy Zane said, looking at the broken cell phone, and I guarantee that no one would know. Allonzo Hobson swallowed nervously. A perfect match, truly a perfect match. Kevin rk and her together were indeed a perfect match, even in the way they conducted themselves. None of the Miles family members dared to speak. They never imagined Daisy Zane to be so powerful. They could sense she wasnt joking, but indeed had such capabilities. Old Master Miles, despite his age and having seen many things, was frightened by the girl in front of him. Amelia also stood to one side and kept her head down in submission. Daisy Zane looked towards Jasmine Anderson and Michael ckman immediately pulled her in front of her. What do you want to do? Jasmine red at her and said, You daree after ruining my son and husband! Your son and husband did so many disgraceful things, and you me others for it?! Allonzo Hobson snapped. Its all because of you. If it werent for you, our family would be fine! Youre a disaster star! A jinx. As Jasmine cursed, she tried to step forward and hit Daisy but was held back by Michael ckman. Why dont you go die! How are you still alive! Daisy Zane, seemingly deaf to her words, asked Michael ckman, Give me her right hand. Michael ckman grabbed her right hand, and although Jasmine instinctively resisted, her strength was nothingpared to his. Easily, ckman grabbed her right hand and put it in front of Daisy. Daisy took hold of her right hand, looking at her slender fingers and well-proportioned nails. What do you want to do? What are you going to do? Daisy Zanes appearance now was terrifying, and with Jasmine feeling guilty, her voice trembled. But Daisy said nothing, holding Jasmines hand single-handedly, pressing her thumb on her index finger and applying some force. With two crisp sounds, the knuckles and the second joint of the index finger broke. AhC Jasmine screamed. The Miles family shuddered in fear. Allonzo Hobson frowned slightly. He had seen a lot of this and had forgotten that she used to be Nameless, walking horizontally in D Continent. Jasmine tried to break free from Daisys grip, but it only tightened. And then, without even blinking, Daisy broke her middle finger as well. The pain of the broken fingers was so intense that Jasmine could no longer scream. Daisy Zane, what the hell do you want! Charles Hobson shouted as he tried to walk forward, but another Michael ckman suddenly appeared and blocked him. Johanes Miles also held him back and warned him with a nce. Charles Hobson cried out while walking, My brother and Benjamin have been sent in. Cant you just let my sister-inw go? What did she do! Your sister-inw might be trouble, Allonzo Hobson said sarcastically, Using your familys servants mobile number to contact others, borrowing high-interest loans, and even trying to kill people. What?! Charles Hobson couldnt believe it, Youre talking nonsense, you Johanes Miles covered her mouth, stopping her from speaking. While they were talking, Daisy Zane had broken all five of her fingers. The slender, jade-like fingers were now hanging limp and weak, swelling at the joints. Jasmine Anderson couldnt scream, she could only open her mouth and breathe rapidly. She was drenched in sweat, with droplets falling from her forehead. Her hair was stuck to her face, looking extremely disheveled. But her eyes remained fixed on Daisy Zane, growing more sinister, You bring so many people, break into someones home, and beat them. Ill sue you. As you wish. Daisy Zane let go of her hand and said, Thats it for this hand. Now lets settle our ount. Xavier Dominic raised his eyebrows and thought he should record this to show Kevin rkter and make him happy. What ount do we have between us? Jasmines hand hung limply, and the pain caused her facial muscles to twitch. She spoke weakly, If anything, I should be the one to settle ounts with you. You wanted to spend money to hire someone to kill me? Daisy Zane looked into her eyes. Jasmineughed softly and said, What are you talking about? I dont understand. Daisy Zane also chuckled lightly, Its okay if you dont understand. Lets talk about something you can. Jasmine gasped for breath, not saying anything. But her expression seemed to say, lets see what you have to say. Benjamin Hobson As soon as Daisy Zane mentioned the name, Jasmines expression changed immediately. What are you doing? What else do you want to do? Its not about what I want to do, Daisy Zane replied, It depends on what you do. What do you mean? Have you heard about the treatment someone like Benjamin Hobson receives in prison? Daisy Zane stared into her eyes, as if she could see straight into her fear, He would be treated the same way he treated others. Even worse, he would be treated like an animal. Jasmines expression suddenly froze, and her body gradually began to tremble. The Miles familys faces werent good either. They remained silent, and even their breathing seemed to grow lighter. It was one thing to know about it, but hearing it from someone else was different. Especially after hearing it, they felt as if it was already happening to Benjamin Hobson. They used to console themselves by thinking about the best-case scenario. But after hearing this, their inner defenses crumbled. Even Xavier Dominic felt chills running down his spine as he listened to her talk. Do you need me to share some examples? Ah Jasmine suddenly screamed and struggled. I wont listen! I wont listen! Dont say it! Dont say it! It wont happen! It wont happen! Youre lying! Youre lying. You know in your heart if Im lying to you or not. It wont happen, it wont happen, it wont happen Jasmine was just showing a defiant expression, but now she suddenly burst into tears and mumbled, It wont happen Maybe I can make him suffer less. Daisy Zane said, Death is inevitable, but perhaps he can endure less suffering while alive. Jasmine looked at her, her eyes reignited like ashes, What did you say? It depends on what you do. Daisy Zane replied, Tell the truth, exin what you did and how you did it to the police. Otherwise, Ill make your sons life even worse. Jasmine stared at her for a while and then asked, Are you telling the truth? Really? Will you do as you say? Daisy Zane leaned in slightly, looking at her and whispered, You have no choice but to trust me. Do you want to see your sons suffering every time you have a nightmare? Do you want to hear him say it was because of your evasion that he had to endure all that? Xavier Dominic looked at her, his body gradually covered in goosebumps. It wasnt scary for someone to be able to fight; if there were more people, they could always take care of them. The scariest part was, while this person could fight, she was also calcting and maniptive. Daisy Zanes tone had remained even since she entered, and even her speaking pace was slow. Except for being colder and more ruthless than usual, there was nothing strange. But every sentence she uttered stirred fear. Every word touched the softest part of ones heart. I dont want to, I dont. Jasmine seemed to go insane, It was me, it was me who bought her mobile number from the servant. It was also me who secretly used her ID to take out a loan. And it was me who contacted people abroad to kill you and silence you. I admit it, I admit it all. Sister-inw! What are you talking about! Charles Hobson cried. Its me, its all me. Jasmine stared wide-eyed, struggling to get closer to Daisy Zane, Keep your word, keep your word. Daisy Zane stood up straight, not looking at her anymore, You go and confess, and I will naturally do my part. Chapter 178 - 168: Eating Soft Rice (Fifth Update) Chapter 178: Chapter 168: Eating Soft Rice (Fifth Update) Trantor: 549690339 Sister-inw, dont just admit it because of her few words, Charles Hobson suddenly said, Shes deceiving you, deceiving you! What are you talking about! Dont take everything on yourself, shes framing you. We didnt say anything since we came in, Xavier Dominic said, It was all her own confession. Where are we framing her? Having resolved the matter, Daisy Zane intended to leave. But hearing Charles Hobson speak, she paused and looked at Johanes Miles and Charles Hobson. Seeing her gaze, Old Master Miles hurriedly said, Daisy Is there some misunderstanding? Daisy Zane still ignored him, staring at the couple and said, You two havent publicly apologized yet. Remember to do it quickly, or bear the consequences. You want me to apologize to you? Dream on! Charles Hobson cursed. Johanes Miles pulled him again, Shut up! Sure enough, Little Sam speaks with a strong attitude, Xavier Dominic said, I didnt believe it when I heard it before, but today was an eye-opener for me. You Charles Hobsons face flushed like a stepped-on tail, but because it was Xavier Dominic, she didnt dare to curse and had to swallow it back. Oh, people. When ndering others as Little Sam, theyre so energetic, Xavier Dominic said sarcastically, But shes the true Little Sam and doesnt want people to talk about it. Brook Sister, have you ever seen such a shameless person? Daisy Zane cooperatively said, Nope. This is the first time in my life. Xavier Dominicughed out loud sarcastically, making everyones hearts shiver, Ive really opened my eyes today. The Miles family, especially Charles Hobson, were all red-faced in shame. But they dared not speak up, their faces as red as boiled crabs. Daisy Zanes gaze swept over them and then paused on Amelia Miles. She almost forgot about the live-streaming matter. Holt Lawrence had not let the live stream leak out in advance, causing no impact on her. But it had nothing to do with Amelia Miles, the matter still needed to be settled. She said: Originally, I wanted to deal with that matter privately. It was your good daughter who spread rumors about me being an illegitimate daughter on the Inte all day long. I had no choice but to deal with it publicly. If you think its humiliating and that Miles Groups reputation has been damaged, then its all thanks to your good daughter. Johanes Miles and Old Master Miles both looked at Amelia Miles. Nonsense! Dont frame me!, Amelia Miles immediately stood up and said, Dad, Grandpa, I didnt. I didnt. Shes talking nonsense, shes talking nonsense. Daisy Zane did not want to listen to their messy voices and turned to leave. Xavier Dominic didnte out until he saw Johanes Miles p Amelia Miles. No matter how obedient the daughter was, or how fragile, the Miles family would always end up in the same situation if their interests were hurt. Young Master Hobson, please help me call the police and catch Jasmine Anderson, Daisy Zane said. Mhm, Xavier Dominic said, Dont worry, well handle the rest. Harton rk wont let them go. Mhm. When Daisy Zane left the vis courtyard, Michael ckman withdrew from the vi. Then Daisy Zane asked them to leave directly. A group of well-trained people quickly got into the car but didnt start it. Only when Daisy Zane got in the car and Xavier Dominic drove away did rest follow them. Inside the car, Juan Wright was still studying the live stream on theputer with a worried look. Lady Zane, I cant seem to hack into Amelia Miless live stream content. It seems like its been locked, Juan Wright said. Daisy Zane closed her eyes in the back seat, then opened them again when she heard him speak. Are you still working on the live stream? Xavier Dominic asked him since he had been holding theputer, so Xavier Dominic drove the car. The live stream is locked by Brook Sisters people. Huh?! Juan Wright turned his head to look at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane gently nodded. Juan Wrights mouth opened wide, his head felt like it was about to explode. All that was left in it was one thought: she really had a powerful hacker by her side. Wait for you, the whole world will see it, Xavier Dominic teased. Juan Wright looked even more wilted with theputer in his arms, like a frostbitten eggnt. Daisy Zane initially wanted to tell him to show her theputer, but her head suddenly hurt again. So she closed her eyes without saying anything. Xavier Dominic originally intended to tease Juan Wright a few more times, but seeing Daisy Zane closing her eyes again, he didnt say anything and drove quietly. However, the car didnt go far before Xavier Dominics cell phone rang. After answering the call, he parked the car on the roadside. It only took a minute, and the cars back door was pulled open. Daisy Zane heard the movement, opened her eyes, and saw Kevin rk standing outside the car, looking at her. Perhaps he came too quickly, he was still panting a bit. Daisy Zane was taken aback and immediately looked at his hanging hand, wrapped in thick gauze, Did they finish stitching up your hand? Yeah. Kevin rk sat in the car and looked at her. You didnt get bullied, did you? Allonzo Hobson rolled his eyes at this speechless remark. His wife had the whole Miles Family surrounded, who dared to bully her. Daisy Zane kept looking at his hand; No, I bullied them instead. Kevin rk breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Thats good then. Allonzo Hobson automatically ignored this inhumane conversation and started the car again. How did your hand get sewn? Is it really not going to leave a scar? Daisy Zane asked again. No. Kevin rk stretched out his hand in front of her and showed her. Their stitching technique is very good, very neat, and wont leave any scars. Daisy Zane looked at his hand for a while, then held on to his thumb from under the back of his hand. Its okay, itll be better in two days. Yeah. Daisy Zane gently held his hand and leaned back on the seat, Im sleepy. Kevin rk chuckled, leaned closer, and kissed her on the forehead. Sleep a little. Yeah. Allonzo Hobson couldnt stand this gentle demeanor from him. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Kevin rk kissing her through the rearview mirror. Allonzo Hobson: . Can you please consider the single nobles in the car! Driving back to the Evesting Pce, Daisy Zane slept the whole way. When they arrived at the parking lot, Kevin rk didnt wake her but carried her straight out of the car instead. Daisy Zane woke up as soon as he held her, looked at him, and said, Your hand. Its fine, Kevin rk said. I didnt touch it, go back to sleep. Yeah. Daisy Zane nuzzled against his shoulder and fell asleep again. She didnt know what was wrong, but she had never been this sleepy before, making it hard to even keep her eyes open. Kevin rk carried her to her room, and after giving the password, Allonzo Hobson opened the door for them. After he went in, Allonzo Hobson stood outside the door, rolling his eyes again. He knew the password, but still, every time he came, he knocked and waited for someone to open the door for him. After settling Daisy Zane in and checking her pulse to make sure she had no issues, Kevin rk came out. Allonzo Hobson returned to his room, and then told Kevin rk everything that happened at the Miles Family. Afraid they wouldnt be able to perfectly convey the scene, Allonzo Hobson and Juan Wright acted it out for Kevin rk,plete with gestures and dialogue. Harton, you have no idea of her aura at that time, Allonzo Hobson said enthusiastically. I think she went there intending to ughter the Miles Family. Kevin rk just listened quietly. Dude, you didnt see it. I dont know how she grasped Jasmine Andersons hand, and with a little force from her thumb, she broke her finger, Allonzo Hobson said. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldnt do it. Thats so cruel. After a pause, he said, No, it was too cool. So impressive I bled all over my face. Kevin rk looked at his hand and grinned slightly. Youre so full of yourself, Allonzo Hobson sat on the sofa. Third Master, seriously, think about living off your wife. I think your suggestion is good, Kevin rk said. You have no shame. Is having a wife more important than having a face? Kevin rk seemed in a good mood. Allonzo Hobson was speechless. Fine, he didnt have a wife.. Chapter 179 - 169: Paradise City (Sixth update) Chapter 179: Chapter 169: Paradise City (Sixth update) Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zanes confidentiality work has always been well done. Firstly, the security at the film set is well maintained. Theres no chance for stand-ins to get a glimpse of her. Secondly, Holt Lawrence and Allonzo Hobson are doing good work controlling information online. Even if photographs were taken, Holt Lawrences team is almost always able to deal with them promptly. As a result, information about Daisy Zane on the Inte is scarce. Her flight details, daily photos, and even the license te number of her nanny car are not avable. Even among the stand-ins, theres a saying going around. Daisy Zane has deep waters behind her, stay away if you can. So when the car ident happened on the bridge, no one knew who it was that fell into the river. Not until Kevin rk and Daisy Zane got on the lifeboat and were photographed did it attract attention. The reporters pretty much arrived at the hospital at the same time as the ambnce. But the hospital was under the control of people brought by Michael Jackson, so the media didnt manage to film anything there. Only photos of the scene in the river, on the lifeboat, and on the ambnce were circted on the Inte. And Kevin rk was also photographed. Since everyones concern was online, Daisy Zane posted a message on Facebook that very night saying she was fine, having only swallowed a bit of water and would be back filming the day after tomorrow. The entire incident didnt create too much controversy and the official statement was that it was a traffic ident, which Jasmine Anderson was investigating privately. The five people in the river were also dealt with by Kevin rks team. Daisy Zane took another day off at home before heading to the filming location. The driver and Anisa Cooper were both still in the hospital, so the driver was one of Kevin rks people. As for the assistant she initially wanted to go alone. But the day before leaving for the filming location, Robinson Scott showed up. He insisted on following her upon hearing about going to the desert so she ended up taking him along. Kevin rk couldnt join her either due to some matters at the Imperial Capital Laboratory that he needed to handle. However, once inside theboratory, he was only able to guide from the sidelines due to a hand injury that temporarily prevented him from conducting experiments. So, to a certain extent, the experiment schedule was dyed. The crew was heading to the desert, but they also filmed a lot of scenes and took many shots at various scenic spots along the way. Daisy Zane was there to film, but Robinson Scott seemed to be on a sightseeing trip. Every time he arrived at a new location, he would buy a bunch of souvenirs and send them all back to his dad. About half a monthter, they finally arrived at the so-called desert filming location. And Daisy Zane even got to take a break because she only had two scenes, all scheduled for two dayster. Upon learning this news, Robinson Scott immediately nned out the next two days for the both of them. Daisy, Paradise City is just over 200 kilometers away from our hotel, Robinson Scott suddenly said. Daisy Zane had just finished a call with Kevin rk and was sipping some hot water, That close? Yes, Robinson Scotts eyes sparkled as he raised an eyebrow, Were already here, it wouldnt be right if we dont go see it. Paradise City is quite close to the border, a somewhat chaotic city. The city itself might be okay, but there is the Dark Street in the city, which is very chaotic with people from all over the world. Any trade or deal relies on the individuals own abilities. Of course, this ability is not limited to financial power, physical power, and influence Once an item leaves Dark Street, at least within Paradise City, it cannot be snatched away. But within Dark Street, even if youve paid for something, theres no guarantee that its yours. If someone else is interested, aside from offering a higher price, which is the mostmon method, they could also resort to other means. As long as no lives are lost within Dark Street, any method of treasure-snatching is eptable. You must be thinking about finding something nice to give your dad again, Daisy Zane said as she blew on the steam from her thermos. Thats one of the reasons. Robinson Scott looked at her thermos cup and said, Also, thought itd be fun to check out the scene since we havent been in a while. We can go and see. Daisy Zane took a sip of hot water. Alright. Ill rent a car. Well set off first thing in the morning. We can sightsee and have fun along the way, Robinson Scott said, We should arrive by evening. Sounds good, you n it. Robinson Scott looked at the attractions on the map, nning the route. He saw that Daisy was still holding the thermos and drinking water, he couldnt help but say: Lucia, Ive wanted to bring this up for a while. Do you realize its now July? Huh? Daisy Zane looked at him. Its July! And youre drinking hot water, steamy hot water. Not that theres anything wrong with that, Robinson Scott expressed his confusion emphatically, But you, the person who always drinks chilled water in winter, what happened to you? Daisy Zane: . Also Robinson Scott went on, What are those things youve been having after breakfast? Medicine, right? Ive never seen you take medicine so conscientiously. Really. Not even for a day in the past half a month. Daisy Zane: . You used to not take your meds even if your life depended on it. Daisy Zane: Did I? Yes, you did! Youve changed, Robinson Scott looked at her and said, so much so, that I hardly recognize you. Daisy Zane took anther sip of her hot water, without uttering a word. The next day, Daisy Zane and Robinson Scott set off early and visited three sites along the way. To Daisy Zane, it was a sourcing trip. She took many photos. Robinson Scott was there simply to splurge. Daisy Zane thought he seemed to be ill if he didnt spend money. It wasnt until 6 PM that they finally reached Paradise City. The two of them found a hotel to stay in and ate something there. When it was dark, they drove to the Dark Street. The two girls were conspicuous as it was in Dark Street, let alone with Daisy Zanes appearance. So both of them wore baseball caps and masks. They also wore ck clothing. The nights were a bit chilly there, so they both wore long sleeves. At first sight, the two of them were wrapped up tightly. If it wasnt for their long hair, it wouldve been impossible to tell their genders from their appearances. They looked around store by store from one end of the Dark Street. They even went to a boxing ring to watch a boxing match in between. Such tant cheating, Robinson Scottined, Good thing we didnt bet, or we would have lost a fortune. You wouldnt lose anything. Daisy Zane, who had grabbed a bunch of sunflower seeds inside, cracked one open and said: If you lost, you would just get up and take a punch. Thats true, Robinson Scott said. Suddenly he saw a piece of calligraphy hanging by the entrance of a store. His eyes lit up and he pulled Daisy towards it, Good stuff over here, Lucia. Quick, quick. Daisy Zane stumbled a few steps as she was dragged along and crammed the sunflower seed shells in Robinson Scotts pocket. The piece of calligraphy was the work of an emperor from over 800 years ago. The emperor was also a master in calligraphy, well known for his beautiful handwriting. Robinson Scotts father was an archeology expert and Robinson had learned how to identify valuable artifacts since he was a child. Daisy Zane watched as he took out a magnifying ss from nowhere and examined the calligraphy bit by bit. Seeing his serious demeanor, Daisy Zane knew for sure that it was a genuine piece. Shopkeeper, how much for this piece? Robinson Scott asked. The shopkeeper made a five sign: 5 million. After hearing the price, Robinson Scott interrupted his investigation and looked up at the shopkeeper, 5 million? The shopkeeper nodded. Robinson Scott nced at him again, then frowned and turned back to the calligraphy, murmuring in his mind: did Dark Street stop being a ck-market hub or did he make a mistake. Is it really this cheap? Chapter 180 - 170: Conflict (Seven More Updates) Chapter 180: Chapter 170: Conflict (Seven More Updates) Trantor: 549690339 Robinson Scott kept looking at the painting, while Daisy Zane sat on a chair behind him, eating sunflower seeds from her hand. By the time she had finished a handful, Scott had already started bargaining with the store owner. Although the price in Scotts heart was quite cheap, the bargaining process was still essential. Five minutester, the two were still going back and forth over 100 USD. Five more people entered the store, and Daisy Zane, while eating sunflower seeds, stretched out a finger, pushed up the brim of her hat, and took a nted nce at them. The man in the lead looked to be in his forties. Daisy Zanes first impression of him was that he was very good-looking. Among all the men she had ever met, Harton rk ranked first, and hecould be in third ce. As for the second ce Gael Easton had not been pushed down yet. Moreover, this mature manmen who were mature yet not greasy scored extra points. He had a great figure, a straight posture, and an air of fierceness. He had a simr aura to Diego Giovanni but was also different. This difference mighte from their original families. This mans fierceness was somewhat introverted or, perhaps, more elegant. A bit contradictory and interesting. The four young men behind him also had straight postures. The man noticed Daisy Zanes gaze and looked over as well. But by the time he did, Daisy Zane had already pushed her hat brim down and lowered her head. So, he only saw her fair chin and rosy thin lips. With this nce, he looked away and walked towards the counter. Daisy Zane continued to munch on sunflower seeds with her head down, not looking at him again. However, she didnt expect that this man would directly approach the calligraphy piece in Robinson Scotts hands. Daisy Zane listened for a moment and got a rough idea of the situation. She did not know where the man had heard about the calligraphy piece, but he was here specifically to buy it. But, how could Scott let go of something he had set his eyes on? In all these years, the only time Scott had failed to get his hands on something he desired was at the auction held in the Doomsday Hotel. Where Kevin rk had taken a hairpin away. Moreover, that time, it was Daisy who had asked her not to continue bidding, and then she had stopped. Otherwise, Scott might have fought Kevin rk to the end. Now, here was another challenge. Especially when the other party unted their wealth to the store owner, Scott immediately thought of the time she had lost the battle of wealth against Kevin rk at the Doomsday Hotel. This instantly sparked herpetitive spirit. The two of them raised the price of the painting fivefold. Seeing the two of them endlessly raising the price, the store owner knew that neither of them was short of money. So he left them to sort it out themselves and went to the next counter, calling over a shop assistant. Keep an eye on them. In case they start fighting and damage something, remember to make thempensate, the store owner said. The shop assistant nodded, staring intently at the two groups of people. I dont want to use force, the man said gravely. Scott tapped her fingertips on the ss counter: Who doesnt? But I wont give up this calligraphy to you. This was a genuine piece, a rare find. If she took it back, her father would be delighted. Well, Miss, my apologies. Youre quite polite. But Scott was not a polite person. After saying this, she made the first move. The man did not expect her to be so unscrupulous, and though surprised for a moment, he managed to dodge her attack. Then his four men stepped up. Brother Nine, Scott called for Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane brushed the sunflower seed husks off her hands, put on a mask, and got up to help. She couldnt help with bargaining, but when it came to fighting, she was the best. As she fought on this side, at the entrance of the Dark Street, Harton rk and Henry Horton got out of the car. I thought you would go straight to see Brook Sister when you came here. Henry Horton said, Why did youe here first? To see if there are any new interesting toys to buy her a couple of toys, Harton rk replied. Henry Horton and Michael Jackson nced at Harton rk. Interesting toys? This ces things could hardly be called toys. Even a random thing here would cost millions. Maybe their young master had a misunderstanding about what toys are. Also, to see my brother, Harton rk added. Ah? Henry Horton was stunned for a moment and couldnt help but lower his voice, Commander rk is here too? The authentic work of that calligraphy master my dad loves so much is said to be here, Harton rk said. My brother happened to have a couple of days off, so he came. The one thats owned by the emperor? Yeah. Commander rk is really filial, Henry Horton said. Hes so busy all the time, but he would stille such a long way on his vacation Why not let you buy it and take it back since youre here? I only found out he was here after I arrived today. After the phone call in the afternoon, Harton rk found out that his brother woulde, so he came first. This ce was a mess, but Harton rk wasnt worried that his brother couldnt handle it. Commander rk was over 50 years old, but his physical abilities were still very young. But since his brother had a special identity, it would be more convenient for Harton rk to intervene if any trouble urred. As it turned out, trouble indeed happened. Harton rk had only walked about 100 meters after getting out of the car when he received a message on Michael Jacksons cell phone with their location. Third Master, looks like theres trouble with Commander rk, Michael Jackson handed his cell phone to Harton rk to show him the location sent by someone following his brother. Harton rks expression became serious, Lets get there right away. These five people were a bit difficult for Daisy Zane to deal with. Especially the leader. He was very polite and able to fight well. Sometimes it was Robinson Scott versus three, sometimes it was Daisy Zane versus four, and they fought chaotically in the narrow store. Gradually, the five men began to lose. One of them quickly reached into his pants and pressed the power button of his cell phone three times. He sent their location. Nearly five minutester, Daisy Zane quickly kicked the man in his right ribs. The man stepped back two steps, and Daisy Zane hurriedly went forward and twisted his arm behind his back. She stood behind him, and with her other hand pressed the knife she had slipped out of her sleeve against the mans neck. You lost. Daisy Zane whispered, Do you admit it? The man didnt expect to lose to a young girl. Although reluctantly, he had to admit defeat. There are always people better than others; the student outdoes the master. I admit. As soon as the leader was subdued, the other four immediately behaved. They stopped fighting Robinson Scott and looked warily at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and released him. Then she said somewhat arrogantly, Goodbye, I wont see you off. The man turned his head to look at her and said nothing. But he approached Robinson Scott again, trying onest effort, and asked, Miss, is there really no room for negotiation? Give me the calligraphy, and you can name your price. Daisy Zane sat back down on the chair she had been in earlier. This person was really not suitable for doing business in a ce like this. In a ce like this, with anyone else, if the person couldnt win a fight and couldnt get their merchandise, they would definitely leave right away, find more people, and start a fight at the next location before going straight for the loot. Chapter 181 - 171: Very Suitable for Beating Up Boyfriend (Eight More Updates) Chapter 181: Chapter 171: Very Suitable for Beating Up Boyfriend (Eight More Updates) Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane no longer needed to fight, so she sat back down on the chair, pressed her hat down, and then took off her mask while eating sunflower seeds. She reached into her pocket, and fetched out thest six seeds. Just as she was about to peel a seed apart, the door of the store was kicked open with a loud noise. The shop assistant was frightened and immediately covered his head. Robinson Scott was startled as well. Daisy Zane was fine; she put the popped seed into her mouth then turned her head to look at the entrance. There she saw three very familiar figures. Robinson Scott and the five men were facing the entrance; they all looked back when they heard the noise. Upon seeing the neers, Robinson Scott gasped, Kevin rk? And at the same moment, Kevin rk spoke softly, Arthur North? Third Master. The other four men shouted uniformly. Robinson Scott was wrapped in clothes very tightly, only revealing her eyes. Hearing the man next to her shouted Arthur North, she turned her head to look at him. Full of confusion, suspicion, astonishment, and even feelings of wrong with her ears. Kevin rk also looked at her. Daisy Zane was a little farther away from them, so no one paid attention to her for the time being. She observed the situation quietly, not making any movements. It wasnt until she saw Kevin rk walk a few steps in, stood in front of the man, looked him up and down, then called out softly, Brother. Daisy Zane crushed the seed between her fingertips. She was reluctant to believe what she had just heard. Meanwhile, Robinson Scott was still shocked, Brother? KevinKevin North!? Only then did Kevin rk recognize Robinson Scotts voice, Robinson? Kevin North withdrew his gaze from Robinson Scott and asked Kevin rk, You know her? Kevin rk didnt answer him directly, but looked around the store first. Since Robinson Scott was here, where was that little girl As expected, the next second, he saw the little girl sitting not far away. Daisy Zane had already put on her mask and pressed her hat down. Only her hands were exposed. But Kevin rk still recognized her and smiled at her. Kevin North looked at his brothers strange smile, feeling baffled and even a bit creepy. Brother, did you fight with the two of them? Kevin rk asked with a smile. Kevin North felt his brothers smile was weird, as if he was going to be yed tricks on, but still replied, Yes. You know them? You didnt win? Kevin rk asked again. Kevin North: Five against two, and you didnt win. Kevin rk added. Kevin Norths face tightened for a moment: . Asking all these questions, does he have no sense of shame! Daisy Zane still sat on the bench without moving, as this scene was evidently not a suitable asion for her to meet his family. Since no one had seen her face anyway, she tried to act unfamiliar. She hoped Kevin rk would understand her unspoken message. But obviously, Kevin rk didnt get it. After talking to his brother, he walked towards Daisy Zane. Hearing his footsteps getting closer and closer, Daisy Zane secretly clenched her fists, intending to punch him. Miss, you look familiar. He said. Daisy Zane didnt want to deal with him. Kevin rk stretched out his forefinger, hooked her hat up slightly, and then bent down until his line of vision was on her level. Gazing at her and smiling, he called out softly, Little girl. And Daisy Zane looked at him, her phoenix eyes seemingly frozen, as if she was about to beat him the next second. Seeing her reaction, Kevin rkughed again and said, You dont miss me? Daisy Zane stared at him without speaking. Right now, she not only didnt miss him but also wished she could disappear. On the other side, Kevin North was watching the two of them. Although he couldnt hear their conversation clearly, he already knew the general idea. Otherwise, when would his little brother lower his head for a girl. Michael and Allonzo Hobson approached and both whispered very softly, Commander rk. Theo rk finally shifted his gaze and looked at the two of them, nodding in response. Daisy Zanes n to pretend not to know each other failed. Now that it had been exposed, it would be too impolite and even more awkward not to go and say hello. That would be too rude. She gave Kevin rk a you-wait-and-see look. Standing up, she took off her mask and hat. Kevin rk straightened up and helped her fix her hair. Then he held her hand and said, Dont worry, my brother is easy to tease. Daisy Zane: . Is it true?! Kevin rk took Daisy Zanes hand and led her to Theo rk, looking at his brother and introducing her, My girlfriend. Then he introduced Theo to Daisy Zane, My elder brother, Theo rk. Theo looked at Daisy Zane and squinted. He hadnt seen her face clearly before, but now that he did This guy How did he find such a beautiful girl? Daisys face remained calm, but when she spoke, it exposed her sincere respect for him. It was rare to hear Daisy speak like this. Hello. Um just now Im sorry. The more arrogant she had been before, the more awkwvard she was now. Allonzo Hobson and the others looked at Daisy Zane in surprise. Kevin also nced at her and then gripped her hand tighter. He knew she was sincerely respecting his family. Theres nothing to be sorry about. Theo looked at her, suddenly feeling at a loss and nervous. This kind of nervousness was like suddenly meeting his own sons girlfriend. The more nervous he was, the more he wanted to be polite, and the more nervous he became. In the end, his voice was very serious when he finally said, I simply lost. My skill is inferior. Daisy Zane suddenly felt the sense that a superior leader was talking to a subordinate. And Robinson Scott reacted quickly, going to the counter to pay promptly and carefully rolling up the calligraphy. Then she went to Daisy Zane, handing her the calligraphy. Her dad would have to take a back seat for now in front of her Brother Nines happiness. Daisy took the calligraphy with one hand, trying to pull her other hand out of Kevins grasp, wanting to give the calligraphy to Theo with both hands, but she couldnt pull away. Moreover, Kevin just took the calligraphy away and said, Lets chalk it up to us getting acquainted through a fight. Daisy Zane: . Forget about getting acquainted through a fight, who would want such an acquaintance? The kind of acquaintance that starts with a knife at someones throat Daisy Zane suddenly remembered the time she met his mother in the restroom. She must be at odds with his family; every encounter was so bizarre. Daisy Zane pinched Kevins hand, but suddenly thought of something and quickly let go. And Allonzo Hobson and the four others exchanged nces with Theo. They left the store very consciously. Seeing Robinson still standing there, Allonzo took a few steps, then came back and pulled her by the cor, dragging her away, What are you doing! Robinson whispered. Dont you have any sense? Allonzo dragged her by the back of her cor, Its their family matter, none of your business. Suddenly, only the three of them and the shop assistant were left in the store. Daisy Zane immediately felt that Theos leadership aura diminished somewhat, but his elder aura increased several times. It was said that the eldest son of the rk Family could be Kevins father by age. Kevin rubbed his thumb on the back of Daisys hand and held the calligraphy in his other hand, Youre a grown-up now? Youre really not embarrassed to grab something from a young girl? Theo rk: And this girl is your sister-inw. Theos face flushed, Daisy Zane looked at the increasingly serious expression on Theos face, feeling that if Kevin said another word, Theo would disown him as a brother. She gently tugged at Kevin. But Kevin was fearless and said again, Were taking this calligraphy. Daisy Zane tugged at Kevin again. Kevin said, We paid for it this time. Brother, you remember to prepare a meeting gift. Daisy Zane: .The weather is nice today, perfect for beating up her boyfriend.. Chapter 182 - 172: Quite Good at Fighting (9 more updates) Chapter 182: Chapter 172: Quite Good at Fighting (9 more updates) Trantor: 549690339 What?! Youve met Third Brothers girlfriend! The group came out of the store, and Kevin rk took Daisy Zane back to the car first. The rest of them, including Robinson Scott, were wandering around the street with Arthur North. However, after a while, Arthur North told them to go on without him while he made a phone call. So, thats what happened. Arthur North went into a dead-end alley to call his wife. Allonzo Hobson and the others were standing guard outside the alley. What does she look like?! How is she? Calvin Stewart interrupted Arthurs words without letting him finish, hearing the five words third brothers girlfriend. As a leader, Arthur North was used to speaking in the military district. Moreover, the people he dealt with were almost all men. asionally, he would interact with some women, but they were almost all subordinates. A few polite words would suffice for strangers. Now faced with such a situation, he wasnt sure how to deal with it. After all, she was his future sister-inw, neither a subordinate nor a stranger. He was afraid that if he wasnt careful enough, the girl might feel that the rk Family was being rude, and that would cause trouble. It wasnt easy for Kevin rk to find a girlfriend, and it seemed that she was cherished deeply. If any problem arose because of him. Would Kevin rk refuse to acknowledge him as a brother anymore? Uh Arthur, having been interrupted, thought for a moment and said, Shes very beautiful. And shes pretty good at fighting. What do you mean by that? Calvin Stewart asked. Shes very strong. I couldnt beat her. Arthur North told the truth, Shes quite steady and polite when shes quiet. Its just that she seems a bit hard to get close to. Because of Arthurs introduction, within an hour, the rk Family knew that Kevin rk had found a girlfriend who Arthur couldnt beat and who wasnt easy to approach. Calvin Stewart suddenly went silent for a moment, as a rough, fierce, and sinister image shed through his head. On top of that image, there was still a pretty face. What kind of girlfriend had Kevin found? Did the third brother like this kind of image? An unconventional taste? After a while, he asked, Whats her name? Ah Arthur thought, as if no one had told him what she was called, I dont know, nobody told me. Calvin Stewart: Whats the use of you. Arthur North: What did you just say you wanted to do? Kevins girlfriend wants a meeting gift. Arthur North said, What do you think we should give her? Of course, a meeting gift is necessary, especially considering Kevin mentioned it. Calvin Stewart said, Didnt you go to Paradise City? Did you go to Dark Street? Im on my way. Calvin Stewart said, See if theres anything good on Dark Street and make sure to buy the best. If you dont have enough money, Ill have the bank transfer some immediately. Kevin rk and Hugo rk had been raised by Calvin since they were young. Although they were younger uncles, Calvin always treated them like his own sons. Yeah, I know, but what do girls like? Arthur asked. You Calvin Stewart expressed his disdain, You hang up now, and when you get to the store, call me on video, and Ill help you choose. Alright. As Arthur North hung up the phone and walked out of the alley, he regained his leaders authoritative demeanor. He and the man who had been in the alley just now seemed like twopletely different people. Calvin Stewart, on the other hand, immediately went to report the situation to the rk Manor after hanging up. As for Daisy Zane and Kevin rk on this side. From the moment the two of them got into the car, Daisy Zane stared out the window, ignoring Kevin rk. Why are you still mad? Kevin rk reached out and touched her face. Daisy Zane dodged to the side, coldly saying, Dont touch me. Kevin rk chuckled, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, and then swiftly kissed her cheek, My bad, next time if we pretend not to be close, Ill absolutely cooperate. He still expected a next time. Did she have no dignity? My brother has been in the military for a long time, so his appearance seems fierce, and he always talks like a retired cadres lecture, Kevin rk said, but hes actually easy to talk to. Daisy Zane grabbed his wrist, removing his hand from her waist, Dont be so affectionate, we dont know each other that well. Kevin rk: but I just kissed you. So what? Daisy Zanes face remained cold. Since we dont know each other well, Ive kissed you, and I cant let you feel wronged, Kevin rk said, looking at her. Why dont you kiss me back? Daisy Zane narrowed her eyes and instantly clenched her fists. Kevin rk suddenly felt an aura of murderous intent and immediately held her hand, saying, Im sorry, please dont be angry. Daisy Zane felt the scars on Kevins palm and didnt try to pull her hand back. I didnt think enough, Kevin rk looked at her seriously and softly said, seeing you, and my brother as well, I was too eager to introduce you to my family. I got a bit excited, and I thought that my brother wouldnt mind, instead of considering your perspective. Daisy Zanes anger subsided considerably. Its my first love affair, and I may not handle some things well, Kevin rk tucked her hair behind her ear, please bear with me a little longer, and give me a chance to improve and do better. Is that alright? Daisy Zane pursed her lips, released her fist, and leaned back in her seat. She silently cursed in her heart: Damn, he won me over! Seeing that she wasnt angry anymore, Kevin rk held her hand and asked, Did my brother hurt you anywhere? Daisy Zane nced at him and thought for a moment before saying, I kicked your brothers ribs pretty hard Kevin rk: You should check on himter. Alright. Kevin rk thought about it, his brother should be fine, Consider him paying back a debt for me. You sure know how to calcte. Were brothers; we dont need to be so calctive. Daisy Zane looked at him again, she could indeed feel that the rk family really pampered him. Perhaps it was the age difference that caused his brother to dote on him as well. Thats why he could be sowless. Give that calligraphy to your brother, Daisy Zane said. No need, Kevin rk once more ced his hand on her waist, pulling her closer, you keep it. Its no use for me to keep it. Daisy Zane lowered her head to look at the palm of Kevins scarred hand. It had been a while since the stitches were removed, but the scar remained. The scar was still a bit red now. Robinson Scott wanted to give it to his dad. If his dad takes it, hell probably just study it, Daisy Zane said, but it seems like your brother really likes it. My father likes it, Kevin rk said, my brother wanted to buy it for my father. Then you take it. Alright, Kevin rk said, my father will definitely be very happy. Daisy Zane didnt give much thought to this statement, assuming he meant that his father would be happy to see the calligraphy. But when Kevin rk brought it home, he told his father it was a gift from his future daughter-inw. And to prevent his mother from being jealous, Kevin rk prepared a gift for her as well. Although based on Calvin Stewarts description, everyone thought that the future daughter-inw had a beautiful face that didnt seem easy to provoke. But they were all delighted and coaxed by this yet-unseen future daughter-inw.. Chapter 183 - 173: A Drama That Can’t Be Beaten… (Ten More) Chapter 183: Chapter 173: A Drama That Cant Be Beaten (Ten More) Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk and Calvin Stewart spent over two hours browsing the Dark Street, and eventually spent over 50 million on a jewelry set as a meeting gift for Daisy Zane. The next day they had lunch together. Before the meal, Calvin had given Kevin two tasks. First, ask her name. Second, take a video or photo for them to see. As a result, neither task was aplished during the meal. Not only did he fail to take a video or photo, but he also didnt even find out what the girls name was. On the way back to the Imperial Capital, Kevin was nagged by Calvin for a long time. It wasnt until the nended in the Imperial Capital that Kevin realized Arthur North seemed to have deliberately withheld her name. Kevin already thought there was something unusual about his girlfriend, and with Arthur deliberately hiding her name, he became even more suspicious. Moreover upon closer thought, he felt like his girlfriend seemed somehow familiar. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane also noticed that something was wrong. She realized that Arthur hadnt called her Daisy or Daisy for a long time. He just kept calling her Little Girl In the blink of an eye, two days passed and Daisy Zane was in the desert filming. Arthur North, Allonzo Hobson, Robinson Scott, and Michael Jackson all went with her. They sat in a row behind the director, all staring at Daisy Zane on the equipment screen. The temperature was already high in the desert during the day. With the four of them sitting behind him, the director felt the back of his head was insecure, and he was sweating even more heavily. And Daisy Zane seemed a bit off today. Normally, her acting skills were spot-on, but today she seemed especially off. She couldnt fully get into the role, and as a result, the scene had to be shot three times without sess. It was a hot afternoon, and the sand temperature was high. Daisy Zane kneeled in the sand, with tears streaming down her face and sweat covering her face and neck under the zing sun. After each take, the makeup artist hurriedly touched up her makeup. But still, they couldnt get through this scene no matter how many times they tried. Every time the director called cut midway, he felt Arthurs threatening gaze on him became more intense. But in fact, Arthur hadnt been looking at him at all; he had only been staring at Daisy Zane on the equipment screen. Cut. Once again, they didnt pass. The atmosphere on set grew increasingly tense, and the director was not only anxious but also afraid. Well Lucia, lets take a break and then try this scene againter. Arthur North immediately took a sun umbre from Robinson Scotts hand and a bottle of water, and went to find Daisy Zane. It was a battle scene in the desert. The female lead was taking revenge in the desert by killing the man who had killed her brother. The scene in the afternoon was when the female lead had just lost her entire family and was still weak, and her brother was killed. The man who killed her brother was the same man who had been manipting the female leads emotions all along. After her family was wiped out, the female lead was escorted out of the Generals Mansion and sought refuge with this man. In the end, she discovered that he had been behind the destruction of the Generals Mansion all along. When this man learned that her brother had not died, he worried that the brother would reestablish the Generals Mansion and pose a threat to him. So he leaked the female leads whereabouts, luring her brother here. And then he killed him. The female lead happened to witness the entire scene. She was powerless to do anything and could only beg the man desperately to spare her brother. But the man, like a madman, let her watch her own brother die in front of her. When Daisy Zane first read this scene in the script, she hadmented that the man was a pervert with serious psychological issues. He both loved the female lead and enjoyed seeing her cry and break down. That was the scene she was shooting today. Though she had shed the tears, she couldnt fully immerse herself in the scene. There was a barrier in her heart, a very tough barrier that kept her from getting into the role. The makeup artist touched up Daisy Zanes makeup again. Arthur handed her some water and looked at her reddened hands. Go rest for a while. Daisy Zane shook her head. If you really cant shoot it,municate with the director and screenwriter, Arthur suggested. Try a different way to advance the plot. Daisy Zane looked up at him, staring at his face, into his eyes. Whats wrong? Arthur gently touched her face. Daisy Zane didnt say anything but just looked at him for a while. When the director came to talk, she finally shifted her gaze. The director first nced at Arthur before carefully broaching the subject: Lucia, about this scene Director, I know. Daisy interrupted him softly, Lets do it one more time, thest one. The director hesitated for a moment, then said, Well Ill go prepare first. Will you be okay? Arthur asked, his eyes on her. Rest for a while, you might find the feeling. Its better than going over and over. I can do it, Daisy answered in a quiet, calmer voice than usual, looking down. From Arthurs angle, he could only see her downcast eyshes, like little fans, hiding the emotions in the depths of her eyes. For a moment, she lifted her gaze to meet his. After we finishyou Ill be right here waiting for you, Arthur said. As soon as youre done, Ille find you. Daisy looked into his eyes, inhaling the Eaglewood scent from him, which reassured her. She nodded, handing him the bottle of water. Then she yfully patted Arthurs shoulder, with a teasing tone, Youve worked hard, Third Master. Arthur met her teasing gaze, and in a deep low voice, he replied, Dont forget topensate me properly. Daisy gave him a fake smile before turning to shoot the scene again. Arthur watched her receding figure, her hands grasping the skirt hem, walking slowly in the sand, asionally taking deep and shallow footsteps In a short while, he slowly clenched his fingertips.. Chapter 184 - 174: Jack Amos Chapter 184: Chapter 174: Jack Amos Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane arrived at the shooting location, exchanged a nce with her fellow actor, and then knelt down in the sand again. The makeup artist came over to fix her clothes and hair, and she lowered her eyes, staring at the sand as she slowly dismantled the defenses at the bottom of her heart. The tough exterior was peeled away, revealing tender flesh beneath. Are you ready? the director asked through the walkie-talkie. Daisy Zane took a gentle breath, raised her hand to grab the male actors clothing, tears already filling her eyes, and nodded towards the camera. The male actor quickly bent over, gripping her other arm and twisting it behind her, making a motion as if to restrain her. With the sound of action falling. Daisy Zane clenched the male actors clothing, and as she lifted her head to look at him, her tears streaked down, followed by a massive surge of emotion. She struggled for a moment, trying to get up but was pushed back down. Then she strained her throat, desperately shouting, MO Ye! Let go of my brother, let him go. We will stay away from the court and pose no threat to you. Let him go! Please! I beg you, let him go! Ill do anything, just let him go! The male actor leaned over, staring at her tear-streaked face, and gently wiped her tears away, whispering, I only believe that a dead man wont threaten me. Be good, dont cry anymore. Ill treat you well in the future. Brother! Brother! Daisy Zane looked forward again, gripping the sand and desperately trying to crawl forward to save her brother, but she was powerless to do anything. She couldnt even reach his side. Daisy Zanes face was covered in tears, and her clothes, hair, and face were all covered in sand. Desperation, helplessness, and pain reached their peak in a sh. In the vast desert, cries of despair spread, striking the hearts of everyone present. But the scene in front of Daisy Zanes eyes was dark. What she saw was the night eight years ago when Nan Xiao died in front of her. She cried and begged Jing Yuezai in the same way back then. But Jing Yuezai forced her to watch as Nan Xiao was stabbed to death in front of her, one knife after another. There was heavy rain that night, but the sound of the rain couldnt cover her cries. Yuezai! I was wrong! I wont run anymore! I wont! Let him go, let him go! Daisy Zane, in front of the French window on the first floor, wanted to go outside but was stopped. So she could only beg Jing Yuezai. Jing Yuezai pinched her face, forcing her to look at Nan Xiao, who was two meters away outside the window. In a low, harsh tone, he said, Listen, Enigma. Hes dying because of you. Remember that. Yuezai, I wont run anymore. Ill stay right here. He just lost his mother when he was born. He cant lose his father too, Daisy Zane desperately pleaded. Then remember, he lost his father because of you, Jing Yuezai said. He dared to help you escape, so he must die! I wont run anymore, I wont Enigma, let me tell you today. Its what I do, and youll have to ept it slowly, Jing Yuezai said. I can keep your hands clean, not letting you get involved in my business. But if you still think about hurting yourself or leaving, I wont hesitate to punish those around you even though you mean so much to me. I wont go anywhere, Yuezai. I was wrong Jing Yuezai wiped her tears away and pinched her face again, forcing her to keep watching the scene outside the window: Watch closely what hes going through, see how he suffers even in death. Nan Xiao! Nan Xiao! Nan Xiao! Daisy Zane couldnt get out, so she kept pounding on the ss, harder and harder. On her hands, besides two thumbs, pain relief patches were on all other eight fingers. Jing Yuezai, afraid that her hands might get injured again, grabbed the pounding hand and said, Watch closely, all of you. If anyone dares to help her escape again, this is the consequence That night, she saw Nan Xiao, kneeling in the rain, being stabbed thirty-two times. The first thirty-one times, no single stab was fatal, but each one was thrust into the most painful ces. It was only the final blow that brought him down in the rain. Unable to die but longing for it, he could only remain conscious in the pouring rain, enduring each agonizing stab. Watching her blood, mixed with rainwater, being washed away. And the thirty-two times, because she had escaped for thirty-two hours Cut! the director shouted and immediately got up, wiping away a tear and leading the apuse. The entire film set was filled with the sound of apuse. In their eyes, Daisy and the Female Lead seemed to merge together at that moment. No one could rte to the Female Leads feelings at that time better than her. The male actor immediately squatted down, wanting to help Daisy up, but Harton rk, who was outside the shooting range, was quicker. He threw the sun umbre to the side, knelt on one knee in the sand, and wiped Daisys tears: Little girl, are you okay? The male actor, seeing he wasnt needed, picked up the umbre from the ground and held it over the two of them. But soon, Michael Jackson ran over and took the umbre from him. Daisy looked up at Harton rk, her eyes red from crying. Her facial expression seemed to havee out of rity, with no more significant fluctuations, and has already calmed down. But tears still fell from her eyes. Alright. Stop crying. Harton rk wiped her tears away. Daisy looked at him for two more seconds, then lowered her gaze and, after a pause, calmly said, Im fine. She thought she would lose control, even break down. Buteight years have passed, and she was no longer the useless person who couldnt do anything and only cried. Get up first. Harton rk helped her up and patted the sand off her body. Meanwhile, sitting behind the directors equipment, Robinson Scotts tears fell like a chain. Her empathy was not strong, even very poor. She was cold-hearted since childhood. When watching a movie, the whole cinema would cry, but she never felt anything, even thinking that everyone in the cinema had lost control of their tears. But Daisy instantly pulled her into it. Even someone like her, who had been domineering and overbearing since childhood, felt that the desperate sense of powerlessness. Allonzo Hobson noticed her silently shedding tears and found her two tissue papers. Robinson Scott nced at the tissue paper, took it, and wiped her tears. While wiping, she said, I didnt cry. Yes, yes, yes. Allonzo Hobson said, Youre contributing water resources to the desert. Youre great, youre selfless. Get lost. Robinson Scott said, Why are you so annoying? If you find it annoying, give me back my tissue paper. Robinson Scott wiped her nose and threw the tissue paper into his arms: Here you go, who needs it. Allonzo Hobson jumped up from his chair, the tissue paper falling to the ground, and he said disdainfully, Can you be a little more hygienic? You tell me. Robinson Scott stood up and wanted to go. Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment. Remember to pick it up when you leave. You Allonzo Hobson watched Robinson Scott walk away, and a thousand explicit words wanted toe out of his mouth. But she was too far away, and no one would hear him if he cursed, so he could only shut his mouth sullenly. And then, after a while, he pinched a small corner of the tissue paper, picked it up and threw it into the trash can. As he threw it, he muttered, Whoever marries such a woman is really out of luck.. Chapter 185 - 175: Ten Years of Memories Chapter 185: Chapter 175: Ten Years of Memories Trantor: 549690339 After Daisy Zane shot a few more close-ups, they wrapped up for the day. As soon as they finished, Kevin rk took her back to the hotel first. Meanwhile, the drama crew shot a few more scenes in the desert in the afternoon, and the filming there was over. They would return to the Imperial Capital to shoot a few more scenes, and the whole show would be wrapped up. The entire drama crew had some free time now. So, in the evening, Allonzo Hobson hosted a party for the entire crew with unlimited food and fun in Daisy Zanes name. First, it was to leave a good impression of Daisy Zane on the drama crew. Second, they had to shoot several takes of the afternoon scene, during which all staff were exposed to the sun in the desert, exhausting them. This was considered an apology. Allonzo Hobson arranged everything. After returning to the hotel, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk didnt go out again. They even had dinner at the hotel. Daisy Zanes knees had been kneeling on the hot sand in the desert for a long time. It wasnt so hot that it caused burns, but the area below the knees was very red. It was abnormally red. Kevin rk applied medicine to it, butter on, the skin would surely peel off. Moreover, because they had filmed action scenes in the morning, there were some bruises on her arms, shoulders, and back. Kevin rk applied medicine to those parts as well. Daisy Zane, wearing shorts and a halter top, sat cross-legged on the sofa and let Kevin rk apply the medicine. She was ying a game on her cell phone with her head down. Kevin rks movements were gentle, and he was thorough in applying the medicine, but when he applied it to her shoulder, he couldnt help but take a few more nces at the scars on her corbone. There were three long scars stretching from the shoulder to the corbone, looking like they were caused by an animals scratch. How did you get these scars? Daisy Zane paused for a moment, looked at the scars on her corbone, and casually said, I identally scratched myself. This answer seemed to brush off the question like a fools. But seeing that she didnt want to talk about it, Kevin rk yed the fool. Why dont you remove it? As far as Kevin rk knew, this girl cared about her appearance. These long scars had already affected her ability to wear beautiful dresses. With her personality, she should want to remove them. Does it look ugly? Daisy Zane asked. No, its not ugly, Kevin rk replied without hesitation. Indeed, it wasnt ugly; it was just that on her fair skin, the redness was a bit provocative. Daisy Zane stopped talking and continued ying her game. Kevin rk didnt ask anymore, but when he moved to apply the medicine on her other shoulder, he took a few more nces at her tattoo. The red crown with a strange totem on it. It seemed that some totem was rearranged in a certain way and tattooed on it. However, when he looked at it this way, he couldnt make out a specific pattern. Maybe he looked at it for too long; Daisy Zane suddenly looked up at him and raised an eyebrow with a meaningful expression. Kevin rk met her gaze and hooked her chin with a smile, Whats that look What do you think? Kevin rk smiled and said, I just thought the totem on the tattoo was quite unique and wanted to take a closer look. Did you figure out what it is? No. After answering, Kevin rk asked, What is it? I cant tell either, thats why I asked you, Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane chuckled at his speechless expression, then looked down at her left arm as she continued to y the game. Seeing that nothing had surfaced on her arm, she continued to y the game with peace of mind. After a while, Kevin rk asked, When did you get the tattoo? I cant remember. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane didnt brush him off when it came to the tattoo question. She was telling the truth. She had lost some of her memory, only remembering the past ten years. But it was obvious that she was now older than ten years old. The tattoo on her shoulder had been there since she could remember, and she had spent a long time studying the broken totem above it, trying many methods, but never figuring it out. In the end, she gave up. She didnt know who she was, where she came from, her name, or her age she knew nothing about them. After applying the medicine, Daisy Zane went to bed after sitting in the living room for a while. The two of them had rooms next to each other, with a living room in the middle, and their rooms on either side. Daisy Zane went to sleep, and Kevin rk tidied up the living room a bit. Then he went to his room, got hisputer, and sat in the living room. Although Daisy Zane seemed perfectly normal aftering back from the film set, there had been no difference between her behavior and usual. But he was still somewhat worried. After all, her reaction on the film set in the afternoon had been too abnormal. So he went to get hisputer and sat in the living room. In case something happened, he could know about it immediately. Aroundm in the morning, a sudden sound broke the silence in the pitch-dark room. Jack Amos! The sound wasnt loud, but it was like a suppressed growl. Daisy Zane suddenly opened her eyes, her sharp gaze staring into the darkness, and her breathing bing a bit rapid. After a while, she sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. But just as she leaned back against the head of the bed, the door to the room was gently pushed open. Daisy Zane immediately reached for the hairpin by her pillow. Kevin rk stood at the entrance, keenly aware of the sudden surge of murderous intent. He said, Its me. Hearing the familiar voice, Daisy Zane slowly let go of the hairpin in her hand and leaned back against the head of the bed. Kevin rk walked to her bedside and turned on the bedsidemp. The dim yellow light came on, driving back the surrounding darkness. Kevin rk saw that Daisy Zanes neck was sweaty, her skin glistening in the light, and her lips were somewhat red: Did you have a nightmare? Daisy Zane stared at him. Just waking from her dream, she suddenly became alert for a moment, asking, What did youe here for? Im in the living room. I heard you shouting something. Kevin rk didnt mind her tone, touched her forehead, and it felt somewhat hot, So I came in. Daisy Zanes voice wasnt loud, but Kevin rk heard it right away. It seems you have a fever. Kevin rk sat on the bed, holding her hand with one hand and putting the other on her pulse. Daisy Zane nced at the time on the bedside and then looked at Kevin rk again. He was still in the living room at this hour. As Kevin rk felt her pulse, his brow furrowed for a moment. It was simr to before, with her emotions fluctuating too much, and she forcibly suppressed her emotions, hiding her own emotions. As a result, the stifled flow of energy and blood caused her heart to overheat. When Kevin rk released her wrist, he took out a few tissue papers from the bedside table and wiped the sweat off her neck: Little girl, you have a fever again. Daisy Zane raised her hand to touch her forehead, only feeling the sweat and nothing else. She didnt seem to care about it, Do you get a fever from sweating so much? Yes. Kevin rk took out a few more tissues and wiped her forehead sweat. Then he pulled the quilt up a bit, saying, Be careful not to catch a cold from the sweat. Its a bit hot. Itll be fine in a little while. Kevin rk looked at her, Did you have a nightmare? Daisy Zane stared at him, her eyshes quivering slightly, but she didnt say anything. Seeing that she wasnt saying anything, Kevin rk hesitated for a moment before asking softly, Does it have anything to do with the scene you filmed this afternoon? Daisy Zane pressed her slightly aching temples, lowered her eyes, avoiding Kevin rks gaze. Chapter 186 - 176: Don’t Want to Leave Anymore… Chapter 186: Chapter 176: Dont Want to Leave Anymore Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane instinctively resisted showing her vulnerable and helpless side to others. Kevin rk naturally felt it, so he stretched out his hand to lift Daisys chin and let her look at him, Cant you tell me about it? Daisy looked at him but still said nothing. Not even telling me, isnt that too off-putting? Kevin said, suddenly looking a bit gloomy, Weve kissed, and Im still an outsider. Why do I feel like Ive been done wrong? Daisy: Seeing her speechless expression, Kevin suddenly stepped forward, cing his hands on either side of her body, staring at her up close, and threatening, Shouldnt I make our rtionship a bit more familiar? Daisy raised her hand, stuck out a finger, poked it onto his shoulder, and pushed him back to the bedside: Third Master, think more about practical matters. Kevinughed, holding her hand, kissed it near the lips, and said, Tell me, maybe youll feel better once you talk about it. Daisy was silent for a while again. Kevin didnt rush, simply pinching her fingers, waiting quietly. Almost a minute passed before Daisy looked at Kevins fingers and spoke up, When Charles Amos was one year old, his father, named Jack Amos, died in front of me, just like in the show this afternoon. Kevins expression froze for a moment, but he continued to stroke her hand. It had been eight years since Charles was one year old, how old was she then? Still gazing at his hand, Daisy spoke in a calm voice as if speaking about someone else, Its not exactly the same as this afternoons show. Jack Amos died because of me, and it was even worse than this afternoons show. He was stabbed thirty-two times all over his body, just two meters away from me, separated by ayer of ss. What had she gone through? And what was the reason it happened because of her? Kevin moved closer, held her in his arms, gently patted her back, and quietly listened to her speak. Daisys eyes pressed against his shoulder, and she whispered, At that time, I waspletely useless. Apart from crying and watching him die with my own eyes, I couldnt do anything, not even collecting his body. At that time, watching Jack Amos fall motionless in the rain, Daisy struggled desperately to go out, but Edward Kirsten stopped her from leaving. In the end, she fainted and fell into a feverisha for three days. When she woke up, Jack Amos had been taken care of by them, and she didnt even know where he was buried. Usually, the people who took care of her were reced by neers, except for Wilton Edwards and Edward Kirsten. Edward Kirsten also keenly noticed that she intended tomit suicide, so he threatened her with Charles life. Kevin held her tighter in his arms, his heart aching as if it was being rubbed back and forth by a blunt knife. Her little girl, so young, carrying guilt, hatred Eight years how did she endure? What had she suffered to be who she is today? Daisy leaned against him, smelling the eaglewood scent on his body, feeling at peace and reassured. After a quiet moment, Daisy said, Thats why I hate people I cant defeat. Its easy for me to want to kill them. Kevin lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. Daisy always acted this way, seemingly not caring about things she was afraid of mentioning even just once, fearing that the people around her would be sad, always speaking of her experiences lightly, as if they didnt matter. And still teasing people in the end. No matter how cold or difficult to approach she appeared on the outside, she was always considerate of others on the inside. Have you ever wanted to kill me too? Kevin asked in a low voice. Yes, Daisy said, In D Continent, if I were caught, my next n would have been to kill you. So vicious? Strong people who cant be of use to me are threats that cant be left alone, Daisy casually said. Upon hearing her words, Kevins expression faltered for a moment. Those words they were all too familiar So I should be grateful that I recognized you in time, Kevinughed. Dont pat yourself on the back, Daisy said, Was that timely? Kevin chuckled softly, Next time, the moment I encounter your little alias, Ill recognize my little girl right away. Daisy snorted withughter, If you cant, then be prepared to get beaten. Alright, Kevin agreed with augh, then kissed her neck again, Ill always be on your side, you dont need to treat me as an enemy. Hearing his words, Daisy touched her fingertips and remained silent, as if she epted it. I can help you avenge Jack Amos too, Kevin said seriously. Daisys head moved slightly, leaning on his shoulder, and after a while, she said, Youve been helping me. Huh? 319. As Kevin patted her back, his hand paused, and he suddenly remembered the reason she had a feverst time due to emotional fluctuations. She had even crushed a wine ss. It turned out to be the same person. No wonder Well catch him eventually, Kevin said. Mm. The two hugged for a while longer, and as Daisy gradually grew sleepy, she backed out of his embrace and said, You go to sleep, Im fine. Looking at her, Kevin hesitated and asked, Can I stay here? Daisy looked up at him. Can I be with you here? Daisy slowly narrowed her eyes. Kevinughed, Are you afraid of me? What can I possibly do? Daisy alsoughed, Afraid of you? What could you possibly do? Theres a lot I could do, Kevins voice became softer and softer, andsince you cant beat me, I Seeing her gradually cooling eyes, Kevin immediately stopped himself and coughed lightly, Youre feverish, Im a bit worried. Daisy looked at him again, afraid that he would sit in the living room all night, so she scooted over a bit and said, Come up. With such a straightforward agreement, did she really think he wouldnt do anything? Kevin raised an eyebrow, waited for her to lie down before getting into bed and settling himself as well. With her eyes closed, Daisy felt the mattress sink beside her, and her heartbeat quickened. She rolled away from Kevin, pulling the quilt over her head, and whispered, Turn off the light. Alright. Keviny down and turned off the light. Darkness enveloped the room, and his vision went ck for a moment. Once his sight had adjusted somewhat, he turned and looked at Daisy. At first, he didnt understand why she had chosen to ept this script. There were so many good ones out there, all easier than this one. Why did she insist on torturing herself, subjecting herself to such immense physical and psychological pressure every day? Now he more or less understood. The female leads experiences resonated with her, or rather, her sympathy for the female lead in the script. He still remembered his words at that time, How can she be strong without suffering? She didnt want to be like this, nor did she want to shoulder so much responsibility, nor run around with a bloody knife it was reality that forced her into what she has be. Chapter 187 - 177: Poisoning You Chapter 187: Chapter 177: Poisoning You Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk barely sleptst night. On one hand, he felt sorry for Daisy Zane, and on the other hand, he worried about her fever. Although it was emotionally induced, he was afraid that her fever might be too severe, leading to other inmmation. Fortunately, around four oclock, Daisy Zanes fever subsided. After Daisy Zane fell asleep, Kevin rk held her in his arms. He let her use his arm as a pillow all night. After four oclock, he touched her forehead and saw that her fever had subsided. He then kissed her forehead, put his other hand on her waist and fell asleep. The two slept until almost ten oclock. Around eight oclock, Kevin rk woke up once. He wanted to get up, but seeing Daisy Zane sleeping soundly in his arms, he thought about it and seized the rare opportunity, and went back to sleep. It wasnt until nearly ten oclock that Daisy Zanes cell phone rang. Both of them woke up. As soon as opened her eyes, she saw Kevins exposed corbone through his home clothes, and her sleepiness instantly vanished. She raised her head and looked at Kevin rk in a dazed manner. Kevin rk saw her like this and smiled, his narrow eyes were slightly red from just waking up and carried a hint of drowsiness, which was alluring in itsziness. I didnt do anything, Kevin rk kissed her and then went to get her phone. I just secretly held you. Daisy Zane sat up. She had slept a bit too soundlyst night. She tucked her hair back and took the phone. It was a call from Robinson Scott. As soon as she answered, before she had a chance to say anything, Robinson Scott roared from the other side, Ah! Brother Nine! I slept with Allonzo Hobson! Daisy Zanes expression obviously hesitated for a moment; her calm face, which did not usually waver, gradually became somewhat frightened. Robinson Scotts voice was so loud that Kevin, who had just sat up, also heard it clearly and looked at Daisy Zane in surprise. Ah! Ah! Ah! Brother Nine! What do I do! Robinson Scott continued to roar. I sneaked back to my room while Allonzo Hobson was still asleep! My innocence! You Daisy Zanes mind was a bit stuck. Kevin rk reacted quickly. He thought Robinson Scott should have a lot of things to say to Daisy Zane. So he nned to leave first. But as soon as he got out of bed and stood up, Daisy Zane grabbed his arm and pulled him back hard, dragging him back onto the bed. Caught off guard, Kevin rk hadnt expected Daisy Zane to be so strong. His whole body was directly lying back in bed. The bed bounced a little. As if afraid he would run away, Daisy Zane pressed him onto the bed, straddling him and cing one arm under his neck. The warning expression in her eyes was very obvious. The whole movement was smoothly executed, with no hesitation. Kevin rk didnt even have time to react. By the time he could react, the two of them were already in this position, and he dared not move haphazardly. Daisy Zane was slightly annoyed, What happened between the two of you? I dont know. I dont remember, Robinson Scott replied. The only thing I remember is that a handsome guy gave me a ss of winest night, and I think I drank too much afterward. One ss of wine, and you drank too much? Daisy Zane asked, frowning. More like too many sses. Robinson Scott replied. And when I woke up this morning I was with Allonzo Hobson! Ah! Could Allonzo Hobson have any diseases? Daisy Zane couldnt get a straight answer from Robinson Scott in the moment so she said, Wait a moment, Ille and find you. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane threw the cell on the side and looked at Kevin rk, If you dare to tell Allonzo Hobson right now, I will poison you to be mute. It turned out she was afraid he would snitch. Little girl, how can you be so cruel? Kevin rk put his hand on her waist and looked at her with a smile. Whats the benefit of poisoning me to be mute for you? Ill be a lot quieter. Kevin rk raised his hand and pinched Daisys face, Little ungrateful girl, I just feel its inappropriate for me to listen here. Daisy Zane: . Before Robinson Scott makes a decision, I wont mention it to Allonzo Hobson, said Kevin rk, But if he remembers it himself, I wont be able to do anything. Daisy looked at him without speaking. And, Allonzos private life is very clean, Kevin rk thought for a moment and said, There should be some misunderstanding. Although he looks like a yer, hes quite restrained. Seeing that he wasnt lying to her, Daisy let go of his arm and tried to get off him. But Kevin rk held her waist, not allowing her to move. Daisy Zane frowned. Kevin rkughed, Climb up when you want to, get down when you want to. Little girl, things donte that easy. Only then did Daisy Zane btedly realize that this position was a bit not just a bit, but very embarrassing. Seeing her ears gradually turning red, the smile on Kevin rks face deepened, and the next second he hugged her waist, turned over, and pressed her beneath him, kissing her. Kevin rk was usually very gentle with her, even speaking several degrees softer. But when it came to these matters, he was very terrifying. It wasnt that he was rude; he was actually quite gentle. But when his aura suddenly changed, it would always make Daisy fear about whether he would hurt her. After a while, Kevin rk released her, lowered his head and kissed the exposed scar on her corbone a couple of times, burying his head in her neck. Daisy Zane looked at the ceiling, breathing lightly. After a while, she touched her fingertips and said coldly, If you cant calm down, head to the restroom. Kevin rk: Or stared at the ceiling and continued, Let me change my clothes and Ill leave the room to you. Kevin rk looked up at Daisy Zane. When Daisy Zane met his gaze, her heart trembled. As her temple throbbed, she immediately raised her hand to cover Kevin rks mouth. I have to go see Robinson Scott, said Daisy Zane, Im afraid if I take much longer, she will go and kill Allonzo Hobson. Kevin rk kissed the palm of her hand. Daisy Zane let go of her hand again. Kevin rks eyes shed with anger, but it soon disappeared. He sighed lightly and said, Little girl, just keep bullying me. Youll have to pay me back one day. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow and showed no fear at all,pletely in a lets talk when you want to get it back attitude: Get up, youre too heavy. Kevin rk had no choice but to turn over and sit up and pull her up as well. Daisy came down from the bed, took two clothes from the suitcase, and changed in the restroom. When she came out, Kevin rk was still sitting on the bed, seemingly not having moved at all. Daisy quickly rinsed her mouth, changed into sportswear, and casually tied her hair up with a wooden hairpin. She nced at Kevin rk but didnt say anything, just walked to the door. But after opening it, she looked back at him again, Third Master, the room is left to you. Take your time, I wont be back for a while. While saying this, she couldnt control her upturned mouth. Moreover, after saying it, she didnt look at Kevin rks eyes, closed the door, and left. Kevin rk was left alone in the room, staring at the entrance, grinding his teeth. His eyes seemed to want to pierce the door with his gaze. This little girl. was too bad! Chapter 188 - 178: Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings Chapter 188: Chapter 178: Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings Trantor: 549690339 When Daisy Zane went to see Robinson Scott. he had already calmed down. But his calmness was somewhat extreme. She opened the door for Daisy Zane, simply called out Brother Nine, and entered the room. Upon seeing her reaction, Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow and followed her into the living room. Then, on the living rooms tea table, she noticed his gun. Robinson Scott sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette first, then while smoking it, began cleaning his weapon. Daisy Zane sat directly on the tea table, looking at him and asked, Have you remembered what happened? I cant remember. Robinson Scott took the cigarette from his mouth and exhaled out smoke, I truly cked out from drinking. Daisy Zane picked up the cigarette and lighter from the tea table and lit one herself: What if you forced yourself on someone? I forced him? I forced him! Robinson Scott threw the gun on the tea table and pointed at himself, Brother Nine, look at me! Look at my face, my body, my situation. Would I coerce him? Even if I were to get a gigolo, I wouldnt nce twice at him! Indeed, Robinson Scott was very handsome with an exotic look, and a great physique, while also being cute. The phrase western beauty probably referred to Robinson Scotts appearance. Daisy Zane took a gentle puff on her cigarette, her slender fingers holding it, as she flicked the ash into a tray, I just think no one could coerce you. After a pause, she continued: Even if you were drunk. I Robinson Scotts attitude suddenly diminished, I truly cant remember, I have absolutely no impression. Did something really happen then? Daisy Zane asked while looking at him. Robinson Scott stared at Daisy Zane through a thinyer of smoke, thought seriously for a moment and responded, I am not too sure, just that after waking up, I had a headache and aching all over. After seeing Allonzo Hobson near me, I was afraid I wouldnt be able to resist killing him, so I came back here first. Daisy Zane: . The two of them stared at each other in silence. Nobody said anything and continued their peaceful stare-off. Just when Daisy Zane was about to say something, the doorbell rang. Both of them looked towards the entrance, paused for a moment, and Robinson Scott extinguished his cigarette in the tray and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened and he saw who was standing outside, mes seemed to rise straight out of Robinson Scotts head. You daree! Robinson Scott randomly grabbed something from the doorway and without even looking, threw it out. Allonzo Hobson dodged to the side, confused, What are you doing? I kindly came to deliver your clothes, why are you hitting me? I, I Overwhelmed with rage, Robinson Scott didnt forget to drag him in for a beating. He grabbed Allonzo Hobson by the cor and pulled him into the room. Hey, wait, what are you doing? Allonzo Hobson was pulled into the room by him, Robinson Scott, dont force me to fight backhey! Robinson Scott threw him onto the sofa, casually picked up the gun beside him and pointed it at his head. Hey? Thats not a fair y. Allonzo Hobson raised his hands, Oh, Sister Brook, you are here too. Daisy Zane nced at him, stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, and then shifted to the side, making more space for the two of them. What happened? Allonzo Hobson looked puzzled, Did I provoke you? You drank too muchst night and were almost taken away by a pretty boy, I was the one who brought you back. You even threw up all over me, yet I didnt get angry. Why are you upset? Bullshit, I woke up in your bed this morning. Robinson Scott jabbed him again with the gun, Dont tell me that pretty boy was you. Allonzo Hobson shifted a bit, but Robinson Scotts gun followed him, so he stopped moving: No way, you dont think I did something to you, do you? Robinson Scotts face looked colder than before. Allonzo Hobson noticing her silent agreement, was so shocked that he was speechless. After swallowing hard, he spoke again, You were so drunkst night you couldnt even recognize me. You refused to take your room card so I couldnt get us into your room. I was about to get you another room, but you kept following me. I followed you! But would I follow you?! Yeah. Allonzo Hobson noticed her frustration and suddenly found it a bit cute, unable to help himself from smiling, I went to my room and you kept following me like a ghost. I felt chills down my spine. Daisy Zane was silently watching them both. Youre the ghost! Howe it didnt kill you! Allonzo Hobson looked at her, and continued: You, sticking to me like a ster, I couldnt even shake you off. And the moment we entered my room, you threw up on me. I dumped you in the living room and went to take a shower. And then What happened after that?! Then I forgot about you. Allonzo Hobson scratched his nose, I had a good sleep and only then I remembered you. When I came out to check on you, your legs were on the sofa, while your upper body was on the carpet. Ive never seen such a sleeping position before. You made me sleep on the carpet?! It was you who chose to sleep on the carpet. I was kind enough to move you to the sofa. Robinson Scott, seeing that he didnt appear to be lying, paused before asking, Then why did I wake up in your bed, my, my clothes were off! When Allonzo Hobson heard the first part of her sentence, he was all geared up to counter her. But upon hearing the second part, his face turned quite colorful. His mind went nk as if someone had hit him with a hammer. Damn! This is a big deal! Speak up. Robinson Scott snarled. I didnt do anything. Allonzo Hobsons voice softened a few degrees, his tone became gentle. Instead of denying things forcefully, he just stated the facts, I didnt drink much yesterday. I was sober. After I put you on the sofa, I went to bed. I slept till just now. I had no idea when you left. I just brought your clothes over when I saw them on my side. Really?! Robinson Scott, who was bending over from fatigue, stepped onto the sofa, Then why did I wake up with a stiff waist and back pain? Sis, your sleeping position is just like those immortal practitioners. Allonzo Hobson said, It would be strange if you werent in pain. Robinson Scott thought he made some sense. Did you really do nothing? Allonzo Hobson shook his head. After staying silent for a while, Robinson Scott suddenly burst out: Damn it! A stunning beauty lies by your bed and you did nothing? Are you even a man?! Or are you impotent?! Allonzo Hobson: ??? Daisy Zane: . Damn Allonzo Hobson took a deep breath, swallowed, Youre truly entric. You call me entric?! Hearing them arguing, Daisy Zane massaged her temples. Without disturbing the two, she left the room. Returning to her own room, once entering the living room, she saw Kevin rk who had just taken a shower was drinking water. Dressed in a ck robe, with water still dripping from his hair. His throat was moving, eyes slightly reddened, the robe slightly loose around the neck, revealing a glimpse of his muscle lines Hepletely resembled a fairy who had just taken a bath. After watching for a couple of seconds, Daisy Zane suddenly whistled, and casually said: Third Master, you took a bath, huh? Chapter 189 - 179: Return to the Capital, Wrap Up Filming Chapter 189: Chapter 179: Return to the Capital, Wrap Up Filming Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane, thinking that he might have been too lenient with her, leading to this little girl growing bolder and bolder. Come here, Kevin rk said nonchntly. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow,zily and fearlessly walked over to him. Kevin rk raised his hand to hook her chin, the words that came out were tougher one after another, Little girl, if you provoke me again, I dont mind taking a bath with you. Daisy Zane could feel that he was not just threatening, he really meant it. She believed she couldnt afford this loss. So she directly changed the subject: The misunderstanding between Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott is cleared up, they are both in Robinsons room, cuddling each other. However, Kevin rk ignored what she said, instead, he suddenly leaned in close to her and sniffed, Youve been smoking? Daisy Zane: lf I say no, would you believe me? Do you think I am a fool? Kevin rk looked into her eyes. You dont look like one. Daisy Zane said, But you can pretend to be one. Kevin rk: No more smoking. Uh-huh, I will try my best. Daisy Zane replied nonchntly. Just try your best? Kevin rks oppressive aura grew stronger. Just try my best. Daisy Zane repeated these four words in a derative manner. Kevin rk pursed his lips, that expression was just like he couldnt find a solution for a while,pletely helpless. Daisy Zane looked into his eyes, then she helped him adjust the cor of his bathrobe, revealing less of his bare skin. Kevin rk lowered his head and looked at her hand. After adjusting the cor, whether Daisy Zane did it purposefully or not, her thumb brushed across his corbone. It was very light, like the touch of a feather. But Kevin rks gaze still deepened, so much so that he forgot his intent to lecture her about smoking. Im also going to take a bath. Having said that, Daisy Zane headed towards her room. As she walked past Kevin rk, she slightly hooked the corner of her lip and returned to her room in a good mood. After Daisy Zane closed and locked her room door, only then did Kevin rk react. He realized, this little girl did it on purpose. Fallen for her tricks again. Indeed beauty begets disaster. Daisy Zane went straight back to the Imperial Capital from the desert. She was taken back to Imperial Capital by Juan Wright on behalf of Charles Amos. The scenes to be shot in the Imperial Capital were also at the end of the entire show. The male and female leads save the Royal Castle, the male lead ascends to the throne, and the female lead is crowned queen. The two ept the worships of Civil and Military Officials. Although it seems simple, the filming took five days. From set design, to costume, to the rites of all Civil and Military Officials, to each shot, everything was done in detail. The day the filming wrapped up was a good day. Melody Collins got divorced, and her husband was sentenced. Now that shes rid of her scumbag ex, even the air seemed fresher. On the same day the filming wrapped up, the Miles Group official Facebook page released two videos. They were the public apology videos of Charles Hobson and Johanes Miles. Johanes Miles tone sounded quite sincere. However, Charles Hobson was crying and downying his actions in the video. He yed vague with his acts of destroying families,ing between couples, and bullying E Harrizon. If people who didnt know the entire progression of the matter saw this video, they might think he was the victim. So there were many people scolding him underneath this Facebook post. Of course, there were also many who defended him. [Its been so long, and hes already apologized. What more do you want? Everyone makes mistakes.] [Are you trying to drive a person to death? Hes pitiful enough and has already received the punishment he deserves. Are you all idle? You just wont let go of other peoples matters.] [Isnt it because E Harrizon was incapable and couldnt keep her man that others could steal him from her?] The apology video posted in the afternoon led to the addition of [Charles Hobson attempts suicide and is sent to the hospital] to Facebooks hot search in the evening. Ten minutes after the term appeared, Amelia Miles updated her Facebook with a prayer for Charles Hobsons safety. An hourter, she posted an update stating that Charles Hobson had been resuscitated and was out of danger. Daisy Zane attended the wrap-up dinner that evening and had a meal with the drama crew. It was on her way home, in the car, when she saw the online incidents that Anisa Cooper and Melody Collins had sent her. Harton rk sitting beside her said after seeing her looking at the online messages, I had someone check. Charles Hobson has a mango allergy that caused his breathing to be blocked. His symptoms were mild, and the doctor initially nned to give him an injection. But Charles Hobson insisted on being hospitalized, so he was given an IV. After hearing this, Daisy Zane didnt react. She flicked through her Facebook again. Her Facebook DMS were full of usations. [Charles Hobson almost died. Are you happy now? Its all your doing.] [Charles Hobsons hospitalization is all caused by you and your fans. You and your fans are murderers!] [Youre so desperate for fame, using an old story about your mother to gain attention. Why dont you go die?] [When you wanted to resolve matters, you said it publicly on the Inte and yed the victim. Now that things have happened, why arent you speaking now; hiding again?! Disgusting!] Harton rk was by her side and saw these messages. His expression darkened, Before Charles Hobsons apology in the afternoon, Amelia Miles bought paid trolls and guided thements. Daisy Zane let out a sarcastic snort, Theseizens who consider themselves as saints are rather miserable. A few days ago, they drove an innocent person to depression and suicide, and now theyre siding with a past perpetrator and speaking for him from a moral high ground. Harton rk held Daisy Zanes hand. Id really like to throw them into Cold Green Vige and let them experience a life where their cries to heaven and earth are unanswered, Daisy Zane said. Let them see what life is like when your family is destroyed by a third party and you grow up without parents. I wonder if they could still talk like this then. Should we respond? asked Harton rk. I can get evidence from Truro Hospital and have the doctors bear witness. No, said Daisy Zane. Trolls arent smart to begin with, so we shouldnt add to the burden on the limited capacity of their brains. Otherwise, we will be the targets of other peoples cell phone shes. Harton rkughed at her sarcastic tone. Daisy Zane nced at him. Alright, if these things are bothering you, we can ruin the Miles Family anytime you want, Harton rk said. Daisy Zaneughed and said, I think its more demoralizing to leave them lingering on the edge of survival. It was as if they could see hope, but never reach it. Harton rk raised an eyebrow. This little girl was truly wicked. Dont take those private messages, thosements to heart. I will, said Daisy Zane, looking out the window and whispering, They need to know, theyre responsible for the words they speak.. Chapter 190 - 180: Educating Children Chapter 190: Chapter 180: Educating Children Trantor: 549690339 Miles Familys incident continued to create a buzz online, with the heat showing no signs of abating. Besides those condemning the Family, those defending them, and others simply waiting to see the excitement unfold. They wanted to see how Daisy Zane would respond, whether she would apologize to the Miles Family, and what her opinion was on the Charles Hobson matter. However, Daisy Zane merely went online once, paying no attention to the incident. Instead, the Miles Family appeared overnight as the hot search on Facebook, like a clown jumping up and down on their own ord. Of course, there were those who imed that Daisy Zane had dared not respond. Some even used her in thements under hertest Facebook post. Amelia Miles waited for Daisy Zanes response before proceeding with her next attack n. However, Daisy Zane didnt take the bait, giving her no chance to act. Although the incident brought some benefits to the Miles Family, helping salvage some of their reputation, Daisy Zanes unwillingness to engage put them in an awkward situation. So, the heatsted only one night, gradually subsiding afterward. On Daisy Zanes side, she slept until noon, getting up to make a childs After lunch, she waited for Kevin rk to pick her up and take her to the Orchard Garden to watch a show. After Kevin rks senior learned Daisy Zane was in the Imperial Capital, she gave her some tickets, inviting her toe and watch her performance. So, when Kevin rk arrived, he saw Wilton Edwards busy trimming the courtyards nts. Daisy Zane was on the indoor swing, making a phone call. Charles Amos, meanwhile, was standing by the staircase, blushing with red eyes, as if he had been punished to stand. Kevin rk exchanged nces with him and then looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane was stepping on the ground, swinging the swing and making a phone call. Detecting the gaze, she nced at Kevin rk too. She was talking to Edward Monk. Monk: You should start preparing your next script. Its been almost a month since this one wrapped up. Mm, Daisy Zane replied. This Ste Edwards is really good, Monk said, A very clever girl who learns quickly. She also works well with George Dunn. Id like her to act in the next script. Make sure to leave her a role. Mm, Daisy Zane said, But does she have time? I saw on the Dance Associations official website that there are performances from mid-June to December. Is she avable? Trying tomunicate with Charles Amos, he remained silent, only staring at him with red eyes. Overhearing Daisy Zanes words, Kevin rk looked at her. She was paying attention to the Dance Associations news Monk: She did tell me shes gone abroad to perform. Ill ask herter, but I really do appreciate her talent. Mm, Daisy Zane replied, Your call isnt just to tell me how much you appreciate her, is it? Oh, I almost forgot. Monk pped his forehead, Theres an important matter to discuss. I knew it, your aging brain doesnt work as well, she said. Dont distract me, or Ill forget again, Monk said, Have you heard of Billy Allen Ive heard of Grace Miller. Daisy Zaneughed, Go ahead, Im listening. Billy Allen, a foreign-born Chinese, Monk said, You dont know about this!? You are so ignorant! A Best Actor who has filmed so many international blockbusters. Daisy Zane: so what? Hesing back to the country soon. Do you know how many directors are trying to contact him? Monk eximed excitedly, Ive watched many of his movies and have always liked him. Ive been dreaming of coborating with him. So, you know what I mean! Why would hee back if hes doing well abroad? Who cares? Monk said, I want to work with him, and as a prestigious actor, he cares about the script. Of course, your script is definitely good. All I want to say is that you could watch his movies and create a suitable role for him, so we could win. Daisy Zane didnt respond. With you, an excellent screenwriter, and me, a great director, if we have a suitable role for him, what reason would he have not to choose us? Daisy Zane still didnt speak. And if you can work with him, itll be even easier for you to win awards. Finally touched on the point that attracted Daisy Zane: I see, Ill think about it. Alright. Morris immediately became happy, Nothings happening now, so Ill hang up. Mhm. Seeing her hang up the phone, Harton rk walked over. Standing beside her, he helped swing the swing. Daisy Zane nced at him and withdrew her foot that was on the ground: Have you eaten yet? Not yet. Harton said, bending down to give her a kiss on her hair. Daisy Zane casually nced at the messages on her phone, saying, I left some food for you, have a bite. Okay. Harton put one hand in his pocket and the other hand rocking the swing, What happened to Charles Amos? Hes not talking to me. Daisy Zane looked at him and ignored him. She turned her gaze back and said, I hit him at noon. Charles Amos was standing at the staircase entrance, and when Daisy Zane nced at him and didnt pay attention to him, his eyes turned even redder. His little mouth was tightly pursed, and it seemed like he was trying hard to hold back tears. Harton raised an eyebrow andughed, What did he do wrong? He talked back to Wilton Edwards and even yelled at him once. It was very impolite. Daisy Zane said. Even though Wilton Edwards appeared to be a housekeeper, Harton knew that the little girl respected him highly and treated him like an elder. Even when eating, she would naturally sit next to him at the dining table, leaving the main seat empty. You really hit him? Mhm, Daisy Zane said, Who would be fooling around with him, otherwise. Harton turned and nced at Charles Amos, then turned back and said, After hitting him, you made him stand in punishment? Mhm. He didnt even eat lunch. Hartons eyebrows moved slightly. She really did love him, and she really did discipline him. She didnt hold back at all. How long will he stand? Two hours. Daisy Zane nced at her phone, and it had already been two hours and two minutes. She turned to Charles Amos and said, Go and apologize to Grandpa Edwards. Charles Amos pursed his lips and immediately ran out. Harton wanted to see how Charles Amos would apologize to Wilton, but from his angle, he couldnt see anything as it was blocked by arge green nt. It wasnt until ten minutester that Wilton came in carrying Charles Amos. Charles Amos had clearly been crying, and there were still tears on his long eyshes. Daisy Zane nced at them and didnt say much more. She said to Harton, You take him to eat. Alright. Charles Amos looked at Daisy Zane, and seeing that she still wasnt talking to him, he became even more heartbroken. So when Wilton put him down next to the dining table, Charles Amos immediately ran to Daisy Zanes side instead of sitting down. He stood beside her for a while, and tugged at her clothes: I already know I was wrong and I wont do it again. Cant you just talk to me? Wait until Im not angry anymore. I already know I was wrong, why are you still angry? Cant I be? Daisy Zane asked, righteously. Hearing her words, Harton and Wilton exchanged a nce and thenughed together. Charles Amos: You can. Go eat. Oh. Charles Amos whispered obediently, and walked away with his head down. Daisy Zane looked at his despondent figure, feeling quite pleased with herself as she raised an eyebrow. Bullying children sure feels great.. Chapter 191 - 181: Stella Edwards Chapter 191: Chapter 181: Ste Edwards Trantor: 549690339 Whats this persons name? In the dimly lit room, all the curtains were drawn tightly, not letting any light in. A man sat on the sofa, facing a projected video of a dance performance. The background of the dance was rather dark, and only the dancers on stage were illuminated by a beam of light. Therefore, it didnt bring much brightness to the dim room. The man was somewhat hidden in the darkness and his face couldnt be seen clearly. But his slightly blue eyes were especially bright as he looked at the screen. As he watched the dancer on the screen, the interest in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, and he finally couldnt help but ask the person beside him. The woman standing by his side promptly looked up the information about this dancer. And then she reports, Her name is Ste Edwards, a member of the Dance Association. The only disciple of Sophie Ortiz, the president of the Dance Association. Currently on a world tour Edward Kirsten swayed a ss of red wine in his right hand, the vivid red wine slowly swirled in the ss. He looked at the screen and said softly, Ste Edwards How old is she? Twenty-five this year. Alice Eugene answered. Edward Kirsten looked at the woman on the screen again and said, Alice dont you think she looks somewhat simr to Little Enigma when dancing? Alice stood at the side, and upon hearing his remark, her eyshes trembled slightly. No, Edward Kirsten stared at the screen and continued, Little Enigma dances better and is better looking than her. Her waist is thinner than hers, and her body proportions are better. Alice stood beside him like a piece of wood, emotionless and unresponsive. If Little Enigma were to dance this piece, she would definitely do better than her. Edward Kirsten closed his eyes, and his other hand rested on his thigh, tapping to the rhythm of the music in the video. With his eyes closed, he seemed to imagine Enigma dancing to this piece, and a softugh escaped his lips shortly after. But at the end of theugh, he immediately smashed the wine ss in his hand on the floor. The ss shattered, red wine sttered everywhere. Alice lowered her head, even trying to breathe softly. Why dont you speak! Edward Kirsten suddenly asked. I, I Alice was trembling, her voice quavering, I dont know much about dance. I, I cant tell if they look alike. Edward Kirsten slowly raised his head to look at her and said softly, Youre not unable to tell, you can tell. You can tell even better than me. Your understanding of Enigma is not less than mine. Alice didnt dare to say a word; her fingers trembled slightly. So thats why you took the liberty of bringing her to Mason Daviss house. You know she cant ept a murderer in her heart. Edward Kirsten continued, You let her know that I am a murderer! You let her distance herself from me. I, I Im sorry Alice suddenly knelt on the ground, I just, I just wanted her to be closer to us, I didnt know, I didnt know You knew! You cant deceive me, Alice If it wasnt for the fact that we grew up together. Edward Kirsten suddenly grabbed her hand, looked at it, and gently caressed it with his thumb, I would have killed you a long time ago. You know how important Enigma is to me, yet you dared to treat her like this, and treat me like this! Alice was trembling all over, even making the hand Edward Kirsten was holding tremble as well. Edward Kirstens voice softened again, releasing Alices hand and said destely, I will never see her smile at me again, nor hear her call me brother. I cant even see her face. I, I can catch her and bring her back. Alice said. You think shes someone you can catch whenever you want. Edward Kirsten looked back at the screen, where Ste Edwards was seen, Before we recover our strength, bringing her back would be like bringing back a ticking bomb. She was nothing more than this thest time we fought. Alice replied. Edward Kirstenughed lightly and said, Theres no hurry. Wait until the forces in various continents are rebuilt. I will bring her back. Then, I will keep her by my side for the rest of her life. Alice lowered her head and didnt dare say a word. Find out where this Ste Edwards is now, and lets go meet her. Yes. Imperial Capital Around 3 in the afternoon, Kevin rk drove Daisy Zane, Wilton Edwards, and Charles Amos to the Orchard Garden. Kevin rk also took Daisy Zane backstage to meet his senior sister. Daisy Zane bought a bunch of flowers for his senior sister, and also found a jadeite bracelet from her warehouse to give to her. It was a token of gratitude for her guidance back then. Senior sister also gave Daisy Zane a gift. It was a set of Peking opera character figurines, all the characters she had yed before. It was a limited edition anniversary souvenir set from the Orchard Garden. Not wanting to dy the senior sisters performance, the two of them didnt stay long and decided to leave. But when they were about to leave, the senior sister pulled Kevin rk aside and said a few words to him. Arthur North, havent you taken Daisy Zane home yet? You havent even told your family what your girlfriends name is. Yeah. Whats wrong? Teacher has called me several times about it already. The senior sister said, her opera makeup unable to hide her worried expression, Andwhen I went to see the teacher a few days ago, shethey seemed to have some misunderstanding about Daisys appearance. Hm? Kevin rk frowned, What did someone say? Not about her personality, but her appearance. Senior sister exined, You should discuss with Daisy and go meet your parents. I think if you dont, Daisys image might be imagined from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to an alien. Kevin rk: What exactly happened to his family? You asked me to help keep it a secret, and Ive been ying clueless this whole time. The senior sister said, I dont dare tell the teacher that Ive met Daisy. Im afraid shell scold me for helping you hide the truth from her. So, you should handle this yourself. Kevin rk nodded. Senior sister also smiled at Daisy Zane, who was waiting for him in the distance, and then said to Kevin rk, Thats all I wanted to talk to you about. Go ahead. Their seats were on the second floors private rooms with small partitions. As the two walked back, about two meters away from the staircase, Daisy Zane suddenly noticed several ck-suited men quicklying up the stairs. Two men were stationed at the staircase on the first and second floors. Then, in the second floor corridor, two more men were stationed every two meters. Daisy Zane looked at these men, her pace stopping for a moment. Kevin rk also stopped, and exined to her, Theyre from the Lane Family. It was then that Daisy Zane noticed the Lane character two centimeters above the left cuff of their suits. She gently raised her eyebrows. No wonder This Orchard Garden belonged to the rk Family, and no one but the Lane Family dared to make such a grand entrance on the rk Familys territory. Theyd be asking to get taken down. Whos here? Daisy Zane casually asked. Kevin rk hadnt heard that anyone from the Lane Family had reservations today, so he took a look towards the entrance. Seeing him not speaking, Daisy Zane also followed his line of sight. They then saw a little girl wearing high-waisted wide-leg jeans and a simple white T-shirt. Her short waist just met the jeans, without exposing her belly. The young girls appearance was also stunning. Very fair skin, pale pink lips, a pair of beautiful eyes, somewhat like peach blossom eyes, but colder by a few degrees. Her hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, giving it azy and disheveled look. It didnt make her look mature, but rather it added a touch of yfulness. The little girl had her hands behind her back, craning her neck, looking left and right, seemingly full of curiosity about the inside. There were also two women and two men following behind her. It seemed that they were all there to protect her. Olivia Lane. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane kept watching her, not taking her eyes off the girl since she appeared: The youngest daughter of the Lane Family? Yeah.. Chapter 192 - 182: Olivia Lane Chapter 192: Chapter 182: Olivia Lane Trantor: 549690339 Olivia Lane appeared to be visiting for the first time, her eyes brimming with curiosity, seemingly unfazed by the many people staring at her on the first floor. She strolled along, looking around at everything. Behind her were four people, one carrying a food box, and another holding a cat carrier with a blue-eyed ragdoll cat inside. Olivia walked briskly, observing her surroundings, and only noticed Kevin rk when she reached the staircase. Then, Daisy Zane saw Olivia shudder as if she had seen a ghost, staggering back and her face, which had previously been curious and rxed, tense up with just a hint of fear. Daisy nced at Kevin rk. When Kevin wasnt smiling, his aura was powerful, and his expression seemed naturally wicked and fierce. He was like a mysterious, enchanting, and oppressive distant mountain shrouded in mist and rain. Olivia, obviously frightened of him, stepped back and called out, Thir-, Third Uncle. For the first time, Daisy witnessed Kevin rks seniority skyrocket. Uncle, so youre here too, she said. What are you doing here? Kevin asked. Daisy thought Kevin appeared to be looking at Olivia as if she were his mischievous niece, which made her automatically elevate her own seniority. Olivia nced at Daisy and mumbled quietly, What else could I be doing here but watching a show? Kevin pretended not to hear herst words, looked at the cat, and said, The cat cannot go inside. Why not? Olivia asked, Ive already put it in a cage. Even in a cage, can you guarantee it wont meow and disrupt the audience? Olivia countered, But my brother said its okay. Let your brothere. My brother isnt in the Imperial Capital. How could hee? Kevin stared at her without saying a word. Feeling a chill in her heart from his gaze, Olivia turned to the people behind her and said, Take it out and take good care of it. Be careful. You two go with them as well. Daisy raised her eyebrows, thinking how befitting of a spoiled littledy to have so many people attending to her cat. She looked at the cat, but because the person holding it had already turned to leave, all she could see was a tail. Is it okay now? Although Olivia was afraid of Kevin, she still looked visibly displeased. Kevin nced at her and said nothing more. With a slightly perfunctory tone, Olivia said, Goodbye, Third Uncle, Im going up. After speaking, she nced at Daisy Zane again and then quickly ran upstairs. Daisy watched her go, not taking her eyes off Olivia until she disappeared around the corner. Then she looked at Kevin and said, See how you scared the young girl. She wasnt scared, Kevin said, his expression softening as he looked at Daisy, I just saw her displeasure and defiance. Girls, if theyre a little spoiled, its normal. Kevin looked at her and his eyshes fluttered slightly. His little girl was also a girl. Ifif she were to be spoiled, willful, pampered, and domineering, it would also be quite adorable. As Daisy and Kevin went upstairs together, she asked, How old is she? Neen, I think. Is she in college? Senior Three, not yet graduated, Kevin said. She skipped a grade in middle school, and then this is her third or fourth time in Senior Three. She went for less than a semesterst year before quitting. This September, theyll probably send her back. Daisy raised her eyebrows, So naughty? Doesnt the Lane family discipline When she was little, they spoiled her without limits. Now that shes grown up and they want to rein her in, they cant control her. Kevin said. What about the other one from her family? Daisy Zane thought for a moment and asked, The one named Charlotte Lane, does she have the same kind of personality too? Kevin rk hesitated almost imperceptibly and said, Charlotte She was quite well-behaved when she was young. Charlotte Theres one he didnt even want to call by name, and another one he called Charlotte. Such unequal treatment. Why did you say when she was young? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Kevin rk turned to look at her, smiled, and said, I havent seen her since she grew up. Really? Your two families were close, I thought My impression of Charlotte is still from when she was seven or eight years old. My impression of the younger one is when she was about three or four years old. Afterwards, William Lane said that he was afraid I would abduct his sister, so he didnt let me see her.Kevin rk joked, This little girl, I didnt see her until the end ofst year. You actually tried to abduct peoples sister. When William Lane was seven years old, Mrs. Lane got pregnant again, and it was another girl. Kevin rk stood in the corridor and said, At that time, the Lanes really pampered this daughter, and they even held a huge celebration for her full moon banquet at the Doomsday Hotel for three days. Daisy Zane could somewhat understand. The eldest daughter of the Lane family was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. If it were in ancient times, with the Lane familys status, She would almost be equivalent to a legitimate princess of the royal family. She would be the recipient of thousands of love and affection. Such an honorable status. Back then, if Charlotte wanted stars, the Lane family would probably be able to pick all the stars and the moon from the sky and ce them in front of her. Kevin rk said, And William Lane doted on her the most. He was always around her, almost wishing he could bring her to school with him. Daisy Zaneughed as she listened to Kevin rks resentful tone. So that led to William Lane thinking that everyone was coveting his sister. Kevin rk said helplessly, He always thought that we were trying to steal his sister. Look the result of spoiling her like just now. Its not bad. Daisy Zane said, Shes quite cute. Kevin rk looked at her, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. This little girl was curious about the Lane family, which was fine, but now she even found Olivia Lane cute. The rm bells in his heart were ringing loudly. Kevine rk took another step forward and said: Little girl, Olivia Lane is used to being arrogant and shes not easy to get along with. Daisy Zane:??? William Lane only has his sister in his heart. Marrying into his family wont bring happiness. Daisy Zane: . AndWilliam Lane is not as good-looking as me. Daisy Zane looked at him and suddenlyughed. Third Master, dont you want your brother anymore? Youre ndering him like that. A brother is for ndering at critical moments. Kevin rkughed, But what I said is true; hes really not as good-looking as me. Kevin rk had a firm grasp on Daisy Zanes superficial focus on appearances. Daisy Zane looked at his eyebrows and eyes, and after a moment, her smile deepened, and she whispered softly: Yes. You are the best-looking. Kevin rks smile also deepened, he lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips: My little girl is also the best-looking. Daisy Zane stretched out her finger to poke his shoulder, prompting him to take a step back, Public ce, be mindful of your image. It doesnt count as a public ce; everything here is mine. Kevin rkughed. Daisy Zane: . It seemed like he was showing off his wealth, and he was so annoying.. Chapter 193 - 183: Variety Show Program Chapter 193: Chapter 183: Variety Show Program Trantor: 549690339 On the way back from the Pear Orchard, Uncle Wilton was still reminiscing about the opera in the Theatre Garden. As for Charles Amos, he couldnt understand it and found it to be just a bunch of strange noises, so he got bored and fell asleep halfway through. He was even carried to the car by Uncle Wilton and was still being held by him, sleeping soundly. Uncle Wilton, if you like it, you cane and listen often. Daisy Zane said. I really do like it. Uncle Wilton sighed, Maybe its because Im getting older, but I find traditional things more pleasing now. Kevin rk said, Ill have someone send you tickets regrly. I wouldnt dare bother Third Master. Uncle Wilton said. Ill iust buv them myself when I want to listen. Its no trouble. Kevin rk said, Just let me know. Thank you, Third Master. Daisy Zane said. Youre wee. Kevin rk replied with a smile. Uncle Wilton looked at the two of them and smiled, then lowered his gaze to Charles Amos, The young master should also listen more and experience the cultural influences of our country. Charles Amos mumbled something, not knowing what beautiful dreams he was having. Drive away those Western genes inside him. Daisy Zane said. Smiling, Kevin rk asked, What nationality is he mixed with? I dont know. Daisy Zane said, Really strange. Kevin rk had felt Daisy Zanes rejection of some of Charles Amos genes more than once. Whos strange? Charles Amos suddenly asked, opening his eyes. You. Daisy Zane replied bluntly. Whats wrong with me? Charles Amos said, clutching Uncle Wiltons suit cor and tilting his head back, still looking half-asleep. Never mind. Go back to sleep. Uncle Wilton patted his back and said. Oh. Charles Amos leaned his head back on Uncle Wiltons shoulder and went back to sleep. After a while, he murmured in his sleep, Im not strange. Daisy Zane: . Ever since she wrapped up filming the show, Daisy Zane hadnt found the right job for her. She had already filmed two TV series and wanted her next project to be a movie. Something with a higher production value and likely to win an award. Her role in Fall of the Quince had made her very popr. She was offered numerous scripts due to her massive fanbase and her association with Flynn Ninevara. But Daisy Zanes initial intention joining the industry was to win awards. As for fanbase and fame, she wasnt interested. She just wanted to win awards earnestly. However, Hill Dawson hadnt found any good screeny or production opportunity for her. So, these days, when she wasnt working on design drafts, she would be at theboratory in Imperial Capital University. asionally, she would watch Billy Allens movies and think about her own script with no inspiration. Every time she opened it, it would remain untitled and unchanged. She hadnt evene up with a title for it yet. And as the weather got hotter and she didnt have to film anymore, she started wearing her skirts again, one for each day, without ever repeating an outfit. At the end of July, Daisy Zane suddenly received a call from the director of Fall of the Quince, Director Nash. He asked if she wanted to join a variety show. Daisy Zane refused directly, but Director Nash insisted on exining the variety shows format. So Daisy Zane listened politely. Mainly, we record at high schools to experience the life of senior year. Director Nash said, Eating, sleeping, and studying with high school seniors. Upon hearing this, Daisy Zanes first reaction was, Are you sure you can secure the location? Imperial Capital Jujia Private School has already agreed. Director Nash said, Two weeks in September. Surprisingly, a school had agreed. Wont it affect the students studies? No. Its just a two-week period, and they were originally going to have a week of character development training. That was canceled and changed to recording a variety show instead. Director Nash said, And were using sses that mostly consist of students with poor academic performance, wealthy backgrounds, and who are nning to study abroad. Daisy Zane: so, what are they experiencing? Whose family is wealthier than the others? Director Nash: At that time, we will definitely have the students cooperate. And the school also said that maybe having them cooperate for two weeks will ignite their desire to study. Daisy Zane: Will it? Hmm maybe. What about the students and parents? Director Nash: Were discussing it. Daisy Zane: . Brook God, would you consider it? Director Nash asked. Alright. After hanging up the phone, Kevin rk saw that she looked a bit lost and asked, Whats wrong? Daisy Zane told him what had just happened, and Kevin rk smiled and said, Do you want to go? I havent gone to school. Daisy Zane sat on the swing in the courtyard, her fingers touching the greenery beside her. The little girl had never been to school. The real Daisy Zane had never been to school, but she had read so many books in Cold Green Vige that she must have learned quite a lot. But why hadnt the little girl gone to school, and how had she learned so much! Do you want to go? Kevin rk sat on the chair next to her, helping her swing. Daisy Zane thought for a moment, then grabbed the swing with both hands and said softly, Well see. I dont want to participate in a variety show. It might affect my positioning as a serious actor. Kevin rk smiled and said, Once in a while. Its not too bad. Lets talk about it then. Daisy Zane reached out again to touch the nts beside her, but identally tore off a leaf as soon as she touched it. She quickly looked around, saw that Wilton Edwards wasnt there, and surreptitiously destroyed the evidence. I might not have the time. Okay. As an aplice, Kevin rk removed the half-broken leaf stem from the nt, Well talk then. As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He looked at the iing call disy, saw that it was Hugo rk and immediately answered the phone. But before he could say anything, the always calm and collected Hugo rk anxiously spoke first. Third Uncle, Olivia Lane has been taken away by Henry rks people. Kevin rks expression suddenly turned fierce, and his grip on the swing tightened: Did Henry rk call you? Yes. Where are you now? At our house. Ill be right back. Kevin rk said, Tell Juan Wright to locate and find the people. I know. Seeing his expression, Daisy Zane stepped on the ground and stopped the swing, asking, Whats the matter? Olivia Lane was taken away by my Second Uncle. Kevin rks voice was cold and ruthless, but his expression and speed were very calm. I have to go back first. Daisy Zane frowned, stood up, and said, Ill go with you. Kevin rk nced at her, thought about going back home, and then He quietly agreed: Alright. In an emergency, Daisy Zane didnt ask too many questions, not until they were both in the car and Kevin rk had made some arrangements over the phone with his men. Daisy Zane finally asked, You have another uncle? Yes, Kevin rk said, Hes my fathers half-brother. When you had people following me in Truro City, was it to guard against your Second Uncle? Daisy Zane immediately figured it out. Yes. Daisy Zane thought for a moment and understood the general situation: his Second Uncle must be at odds with his family. But.. Why did he take Olivia Lane? Kevin rk furrowed his eyebrows, as he was thinking about this as well. Under such circumstances, it was more likely for Henry rk to try to win over the Lane Family or make the Lane family feel that this was a private matter of the rk family and not to interfere. But in any case, they shouldnt make enemies with the Lane family by taking Olivia Lane Chapter 194 - 184: Clark Manor Chapter 194: Chapter 184: rk Manor Trantor: 549690339 The car drove towards the Imperial Capital suburbs. Daisy Zane watched the changing scenery outside the car, her fingers tapping lightly on her thigh. Since Arthur North had kidnapped Olivia Lane because of the rk Family and even called Hugo rk, at least for a certain period of time, Olivia Lanes safety would not be an issue. But she didnt know why she felt a little ufortable in her heart. The car stopped and Daisy Zane quickly got out of the car with Harton rk. However, as soon as she got out of the car and saw the scene before her, her door-closing movement paused. There were a grand gate with five doors and three entrances, red walls and green tiles, and the gate was painted red with nine rows and seven columns of door studs. The beam of the gate was decorated with colorful paintings, and the roof ridge was adorned with kissing beasts and the eaves with immortals and animals. On both sides of the gate, two stone lions were ced, majestic and imposing. The most important thing was the golden que above the gate. The two big golden characters rk Manor shone with golden light. The sun had just moved westward, shining on the que from the southwest, making the two characters glimmer. Daisy Zanes gaze went up and it was no longer a mansion that reflected in the bottom of her eyes, but power and money. rk Manor was located at the foot of a mountain in the north of the Imperial Capital. The tnd at the foot of the mountain covered an area of nearly ten hectares. However, rk Manor was built up the mountain from the foot, and the area on the mountain was unmeasured. Anyway, standing at the entrance, one could not see the end of the buildings on the mountain. When Harton rks car stopped, someone ran out from the side gate at the entrance, taking the car key from his hands. Third Master is back? This person was actually wearing a long gown. Yes. Seeing Daisy Zane hadnt moved, Harton rk went to her side, took her hand, and said, My parents are not at home. Daisy Zane was focused on the mansion and hadnt even thought of his parents. She calmly responded with a hum. The young man in the long gown saw his Third Master holding a youngdys hand and immediately started to gossip. Harton rk led Daisy Zane inside while holding her hand but then turned back after a few steps, looked at the young man who was about to get into the car, and said, Less gossip. The young man stood upright, closed his mouth tightly, and nodded Harton rk led Daisy Zane inside. After entering the gate, there was a stone-carved screen wall. As they walked past the screen wall, the scenery inside was very sophisticated. Exquisite craftsmanship and elegantyout. Rich andvish but also refined and detached. In the courtyard, the men were dressed in uniform gray-blue long gowns, and the women wore loose cheongsam-style clothing in light turquoise. The upper part was like a cheongsam with a cor fastened with a button, loose half-sleeves. The waist was tightened, and the bottom part was a loose skirt hem, knee-length. Elegant, dignified, and unrestricted in movement. Walking in the courtyard, Daisy Zane felt like she had traveled to another world. No wonder Harton rk always exuded an ancient elegance. Daisy Zane did not take a close look at the scenery in the courtyard as they quickly headed to the front hall. However, even when walking at a fast pace, it took more than a minute from the entrance to the front hall. As they approached the front hall, they first heard Xavier Dominics morous voice. What should we do? If William Lane finds out his sister has been taken away, will he go crazy? Juan, hows it going on your end? Has Arthurs location been determined yet? Harton rk and Daisy Zane walked into the front hall and saw Xavier Dominic pacing back and forth restlessly behind a bench. Michael Jackson and four people Daisy Zane had never seen before were standing on the side. Juan Wright was sitting in a chair with aputer, working on the positioning. In another chair sat a man, clean and handsome with a fresh and refined air about him. He wore a white shirt and sat straight, but his expression was very solemn. Harton rk. Xavier Dominic stopped when he saw the person, Brook Sister is here too. Third Master. The others standing said. Hugo rk looked up at the sound of footsteps and first looked at Kevin rk, looking somewhat relieved. Then he looked at the person next to him. He paused for a moment, nodded politely to Daisy Zane, and then said, Third Uncle. Kevin rk nodded and held Daisy Zanes hand, asking her to sit down first, before asking, Have you pinpointed the location yet? Not yet. Juan Wright replied, The cell phone Ye Sheng used to call has a hacker helping hide its location. It will take some time. What about Celestial Pivot? Kevin rk asked. The order has been ced. Hugo rk replied, But theres still no news from Holt Lawrence. Daisy Zane frowned and immediately texted Holt Lawrence: [Finish the rk Familys location order now! ASAP!] Holt Lawrence responded quickly: [Im personally handling it, but someone is intercepting. I need time.] Daisy Zanes eyshes cast a shadow over the sharp look in her eyes, thinking about someone that even Holt Lawrence couldnt locate right away What did Ye Sheng say on the phone? Kevin rk asked. He said to bring the rk familys seal to the unfinished building in South Town Suburb before 6 PM, and then hell tell me where Olivia Lane is. Hugo rk pressed the bridge of his nose, Or else Olivia Lane will lose a finger for every ten-minute dy. Daisy Zane pinched her fingertips, and her aura instantly turned cold. Kevin rk nced at her and squeezed her hand. Looking at the time, there were still two hours and ten minutes until six oclock. Xavier Dominic and Hugo rk both noticed the change and looked at her. Ye Sheng sent me a video of him kidnapping Olivia Lane. Hugo rk continued, It was filmed in a car, with no visible background or sound. She is safe for now. Theres no information about Ye Sheng entering the country. Kevin rk said. Indeed, theres not a trace of him. Hugo rk replied, The only thing we have is the mobile number. Why did he kidnap Olivia Lane to threaten you? Kevin rk looked up at Hugo rk, staring into his eyes. Hugo rk pursed his lips, his expression looked like he was choking up. Yeah, why her? He could have kidnapped someone else! Xavier Dominic eximed, He kidnapped William Lanes sister. If William Lane knew his sister was taken, what would he do? Juan Wright, you have to act fast! If the people guarding Olivia notice her disappearance, William Lane will find out soon too. Im trying. Juan Wright didnt lift his head. Did she shake off her guards again? Kevin rk asked. He heard William Lane say that Olivia Lane would often shake off her guards, go out and y by herself. The guards, in addition to protecting her, also kept her from fighting with others. Yes. Hugo rk helplessly replied, After Ye Sheng called me, I tried calling Olivia Lane but couldnt get through. Then I called her guards. Using the excuse of inquiring about her recent situation, they said she slipped away from them when she went to the restroom. Kevin rk looked at Hugo rk, and after a moment, raised his eyebrows mysteriously. Hugo rk shuddered slightly due to his raised eyebrows. Longer we wait, the more likely her guards will notice something is wrong. Xavier Dominic said, If anything happens to this ancestor from the Lane Family, would William Lane end the friendship with us? Im more worried he wont be able to handle it. Hes already spent a lifetime on one sister, if something else happens to this one. Kevin rk and Hugo rk both looked at him. Xavier Dominic immediately closed his mouth and retreated to the farthest chair without saying anything else. Daisy Zane saw their reactions and didnt dwell on their deeper meanings, simply looking down at the time on her phone. Chapter 195 - 185: Accepting a Disciple or Not? Chapter 195: Chapter 185: epting a Disciple or Not? Trantor: 549690339 There were only two hours and five minutes left. The rk Family was in the north of Imperial Capital, and to get to the south now, during rush hour, would take more than an hour and a half even on the fastest route. Arthur North checked the time and said, First, have someone drive to the South Town and make a bigmotion. Yes. Michael Jackson immediately went to do so. They had to let Henry rk know that they had already gone to South Town before he could do any harm to Olivia Lane during this time. Juan Wright was sweating with anxiety, and as each second passed, the sweat on his face grew more and more. There was still no news from Holt Lawrences side. The atmosphere in the living room was getting more and more tense, more and more condensed. Those who went to South Town did not carry the seal, and before six oclock, even if the person arrived but the seal did not, Olivia Lane would still be in danger. Moreover, if Olivia Lanes location was too far away, even if they found out, if it took them longer than six oclock to get there, the result would be the same. So every minute and every second was very tense. Another drop of sweat dripped down Juan Wrights chin, Juan pulled out a piece of paper, wiped his sweat and said, Lady Zane, do you happen to know any powerful hackers? Arthur North and Hugo rk looked at her. Daisy Zane nced at Juan Wrightsputer, touched her right thumb and knuckles, and pursed her lips without saying a word. Juan Wrights eyes never left theputer, typing as he said, The hacker Henry rk found is too powerful. Hes been guarding against my attacks. If Celestial Pivot is also attacking, then this hacker is like a godlike existence, guarding against multiple attacks. Daisy Zane looked at the living room clock again, looking at the old clock, the second hand moving one tick at a time. The little girls fingers were getting more and more dangerous. Theres still no news from Celestial Pivot, and I even suspect that Nathan Ninevara and Holt Lawrence have fallen out, Juan Wright said. Were facing Nathan Ninevara. The second hand pointed to twelve, and the minute hand also pointed to twelve. The four oclock bell sounded. Boom! The old, heavy sound struck deep into everyones hearts. Daisy Zane let go of Arthur Norths hand, slowly stood up, and walked behind Juan Wright. Everyones eyes followed Daisy Zane. Arthur North also stood up and quietly followed behind her, looking at her. Daisy Zane stood behind Juan Wright for a while, then bent down and grabbed his wrist. Hugo rk frowned as he looked at her. Juan Wright, with a face full of sweat, looked up at her when a drop of sweat flowed into his eye. He could only squint one eye and look at Daisy Zane, puzzled, Lady Zane? Daisy Zane looked at the screen and whispered, Let me try. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Hugo rks face became more serious, especially when he saw that Arthur North had no intention of stopping her. Allonzo Hobson, seeing no one speaking, delicately said, UhBrook Sister the situation is really urgent lets leave it to Juan Wright. The implication was, dont cause trouble. Daisy Zane held Juan Wrights wrist without moving, turned her head and looked at him. Juan Wright was frightened by her aura in an instant, and hurriedly looked at Arthur North. Arthur North looked at his held hand, squinted his eyes and said, Get up. Juan Wright was scared and shrank his neck, hurriedly got up, and stood three meters away from the couple. Hugo rk looked at his Third Uncle, feeling that he might have been hexed. To let a little girl y around in such a tense moment. Third Uncle. Hugo rk called out to him. The reminder was obvious. Arthur North naturally knew what he was thinking, but just looked up at him and ignored him. Hugo rk: Daisy Zane sat down, and her fingers trembled slightly just before touching the keyboard. She then gently moved it back. But the next second, she was grabbed by Arthur North. Arthur Norths hand was warm, and the warmth went from the hand all the way to the heart. It warmed her cold heart a little. Daisy Zane moved her thumb and pressed it on his thumb, then ced both hands on the keyboard. Then she quickly tapped on the keyboard. Her ten jade-like fingers created afterimages as they struck the keys. The crisp sound of the keyboard rang out in the living room, and Juan Wright, three meters away, immediately walked over and stood behind her. Then, as Juan watched her actions, his eyes grew wider and wider. Seeing Juans reaction, Allonzo Hobson also walked over. With everyone gathered, Hugo rk felt it would be odd if he didnt join, so he went over as well. Instead of directly attacking, Daisy Zane bypassed the other partys defense and located the cell phone. Unbeknownst to the other party, she stealthily determined their position. In less than five minutes, she pressed the Enter key and the screen showed lines of code followed by a satellite map disying a blinking red dot after a few seconds. Daisy Zane conducted another operation, checking the time the cell phone contacted Hugo rk. The map then zoomed in and showed the cell phones movements today. Starting from the time it called Hugo rk. The red dot moved quickly and finally stopped. The person with the phone should still be with Olivia Lane, said Daisy Zane. Its not far, the address takes a maximum of 30 minutes to get to. There was no movement from the people behind her. Daisy Zane turned around and looked up at them. Seeing her gaze, Kevin rk hid his astonishment and smiled while rubbing her head. Allonzo Hobson stared at her with an indescribable look of amazement, his lips moving back and forth as if to speak, yet remaining silent. Juan Wright stared with wide eyes, holding his breath to the point of almost passing out. It wasnt until several seconds after Daisy Zane spoke that he took a deep breath to revive himself. Hugo rk also looked at her, finding this woman to be more and more remarkable. Hugo, you go with the others, arranged Arthur North. I wont go. Be careful. From an outsiders perspective, their uncle and nephew rtionship appeared unfavorable, so it was best not to act together. Alright, Hugo rk looked at Daisy Zane again. Receiving his gaze, Daisy Zane turned back to theputer, tapped a few more keys, and sent the location to him. After hearing his phone beep, Hugo rk checked the message, nodded at her, nced at Arthur North, and hurriedly left. Allonzo Hobson looked at the departing Hugo rk and then at Daisy Zane. His lips quivered a couple of times, but still, no words came out as he quickly followed Hugo. Daisy Zane slowly clenched her fingertips and looked at the doorway, asking, Did you mute him with poison? Arthur North touched her face and then held the clenched hand,ughing, You reminded me, muting him with poison would make the world much quieter. Augh escaped from Daisy Zane. Meanwhile, Juan Wright, who had been standing aside, suddenly experienced an epiphany. It suddenly dawned on him why she didnt think much of Holt Lawrences book. Her skills were like a dimensional attack on Holts techniques. With this realization, Juan Wright suddenly crouched beside Daisy Zane, looking up at her with admiration, and very devoutly said, Father, do you want to take me as an apprentice? Daisy Zane: . Father, dont you think I look like an apprentice? Juans eyes blinked rapidly. Get out of the way, Arthur North looked at him with disgust as he blinked. Juan looked at him and didnt move. But as he saw the look on Arthur Norths face harden, he immediately stood up, and without even taking hisputer, he ran off.. Chapter 196 - 186: “2”, a particle… Chapter 196: Chapter 186: 2, a particle Trantor: 549690339 Around four forty, Hugo rk called to inform Harton rk that Olivia Lane had been safely rescued unharmed. Not only was Olivia unscathed, but ording to Allonzo Hobson, when they stormed in, she had also taken down several people who were guarding her. Hearing themotion outside, she seized the opportunity to make her move. After learning that Olivia was safe and sound, Daisy Zane finally put down her hanging heart. She thought, this little girl is really clever, knowing to make a move only when someonees to her rescue. Later, close to 5 0clock, Holt Lawrence sent the location message to Daisy Zane. At the same time, he naturally sent a copy to Hugo rk. There was no news from Hugos side, but Daisy Zane saw the message and replied with one word: [Trash.] Holt Lawrence retorted angrily: [What do you know! Ill tell you, the hacker who hid the location is very skilled, and youre definitely a match for them. Even if you did it yourself, it would take at least an hour. You really talk big, Im telling you, this hacker might even surpass you.] Daisy Zane first sent him a very disdainful emoji. Then she sent another message: [Less than five minutes. And dontpare trash to me.] After this message, there was no response from Holt Lawrence for a long time. However, ten minutester, the phone suddenly rang. Daisy Zane was looking at the photos on the living room wall at the time, most of which were of Mrs. rks Peking opera roles, with a small number of family photos. Some of them were even ck and white, and judging from the background of the photos, they were at least fifty or sixty years old. Mrs. rk was the epitome of twinkling eyes and a lovely demeanor, with a graceful figure. Harton rk followed her and introduced the photos to her one by one as she showed interest. Daisy Zane listened quietly. So when Holt Lawrence called, she nced at the phone and hung up. He then called two more times, and she hung up both times. Holt Lawrence began sending messages: [Nana! Come out! You actually took matters into your own hands!] [Are you going to make aeback to Bart Lake? Are you, are you!] [Damn! I still cant believe that you took matters into your own hands! Is today Chinese New Year? Or some auspicious day!] [I cant believe I didnt see it in person! The entire hackermunity is probably going to be shocked again.] [Nana, in my lifetime, I can see you make aeback to Bart Lake, I would have no regrets.] Harton rk heard her phone vibrating constantly and asked, Arent you going to check it? No need, said Daisy Zane, Its just a defeated soldier expressing his admiration. Harton rk raised his eyebrows and continued, looking at the photos on the wall, This one is Drunken Imperial Concubine, my mom said that after singing this scene, she fainted when she got off the stage. What happened? She was two months pregnant with my big brother, Harton rk said with a smile, When my dad heard the news, he didnt show any joy of having a child. His face was filled with murderous intent. Daisy Zane nced at him. My dad thought it was my big brother who caused my mom to faint, and he held a deep grudge against him. Later on, my mom had severe morning sickness and vomited for almost seven months, Harton rk said, My dad researched for seven months on how to abort the child without harming the mother. Daisy Zane couldnt help but chuckle, Your big brother is really lucky. I guess Im lucky too, said Harton rk, skipping over several photos and staring directly at pictures of himself at the age of three or four, My parents identally had me. My mom was an older maternal patient at the time. My dad and big brother both thought it was too dangerous and were determined to abort me. Daisy Zane looked at a few photos in the middle, which showed a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old who bore a striking resemnce to Harton rk, about five or six points of simrity. Based on the arrangement of the photos, they should be of Harton rks second brother, Edward North. But there was very little news about Edward North. When it came to the rk family, most of the discussion was on Arthur Norths control of the military district, and how Kevin rk was a leisurely and Dromiscuous wanderer. Hugo rk was the eldest grandson of the rk family and in charge of the family business. His rtionship with Kevin rk was quite bad. After bing the housekeeper, he almost kicked Kevin out of the rk family, not giving him a single share. As for Finn rk there was hardly any news about him. And it seemed that Kevin was not particrly willing to mention him. So Daisy Zane didnt ask more about it. Why did they keep you then? My second brother said he wanted a sister. Kevin rk said with a smile, My mom also said that she felt as if this pregnancy would likely result in a girl. She told my dad, wouldnt it be nice to have a daughter like her? Thats why my dad decided to keep me. Daisy Zane looked at the photo on the wall. Four or five-year-old Kevin rk really looked like a little girl. He was too pretty, so delicate and lovely that anyone would want to pinch his little face. And then, under everyones anticipation, the third son of the rk family was born. Kevin rkughed, My big brother said that my dad was only concerned about how my mom was doing at the time and didnt even hear what the doctor and nurse said. It was my big brother and sister-inw who took care of me. It wasnt until three dayster that he found out that his third child was a boy. Daisy Zane turned her head andughed. And it was also because my mom was being discharged from the hospital and a birth certificate had to be issued. My big brother asked my dad to pick a name for me, and thats when everyone realized that my dad didnt know my gender. Because the name he chose was for a little girl? Daisy Zane asked whileughing. Yes, Kevin rk said, ording to the family naming rule, my name should have started with North, but my dad didnt have the mood to choose a name after knowing the truth, so he used the character Zhi (2) instead. Its an auxiliary character meaningless. Daisy Zane couldnt help but let out a softugh, taking a moment to collect herself before asking, Did he never consider that it might be a boy and prepare a name for a son? My mom could feel the pulse and determine the babys gender. Kevin rk said, She informed my dad about the first two in advance. But this time, in order to save my life, she hid it from him. Thats amazing. Yes. Kevin rk saw herughing so hard that tears were about toe out, so he leaned down and kissed her eyes, Fortunately, I grew up to look a lot like my mom. So I didnt have as hard a time living in this family. Daisy Zane loved hearing Kevin rk talk about his family. The atmosphere in the rk family was very good. Although they were a noble family, there was a sense of warmth and humanity in their courtyard. It was an enviable family. Just listening to it made one happy. Around 5:50, the people who went to South Town captured the people waiting at the unfinished building in South Town and brought them back. Soon after, Hugo rk returned after taking Olivia Lane home. Among the captured people, Henry rk was not found. Henry rks phone call to Hugo rk was pre-recorded, and Henry himself never came to China. The people we caught arent Henry rks people. Hugo rk said. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, Hes cooperating with someone else. Hes borrowing someone elses power, and that someone else is definitely seeking something in return. Your rk family. Both Kevin rk and Hugo rk looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at the two and saidzily, Henry rk coborates with someone to help him seize the rk family. Once the rk family is in Henry rks hands, the coborator could use the rk family to operate freely in the Imperial Capital. With the power of the rk family, taking action in the Imperial Capital would be a breeze. Kevin rk chuckled, hisughter filled with contempt for the insignificant power, Looks like Henry rks days are numbered. Hearing this, the expression on Hugo rks face gradually darkened. Indeed, it was time for things toe to an end.. Chapter 197 - 187: How Dare You Covet the Lane Family’s Daughter Chapter 197: Chapter 187: How Dare You Covet the Lane Familys Daughter Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had dinner at the rk Manor with Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson. The food at the rks was very tasty, not to mention exceptionally exquisite, so exquisite that it would make one question life, making it hard for them to pick up their chopsticks. They were just regr home-cooked dishes. But once they reached the dining table at the rks, they transformed into royal cuisine. Daisy Zane even felt that if she ate too much, she would spoil the image of the entire mansion. But she still let herself eat her fill. After all, she would only feel at ease once this exquisite food was in her stomach. As a host, it wasnt right to put down the chopsticks before the guest was finished eating. So, Hugo rk spent nearly half an hour more eating this meal than he usually would. After the meal, the four of them sat in the living room for a while. Allonzo Hobson went home first, followed by Hugo rk who also had to return to his own courtyard. Seeing Hugo about to leave, Arthur North asked Daisy Zane to wait in the living room for a while. He then walked Hugo out. The uncle and nephew walked off into the distance and stood in the hallway to chat. What are you nning on doing about the situation with Henry rk? Hugo rk asked, lighting a cigarette. I dont know yet. Arthur North replied. Its hard to exin to Grandfather. Hugo rk said, Henry rk is his only rtive left. He might find it hard to let go The older one gets, the softer their heart bes. Henry rk almost got you killed back then. It was already a chance given to him when we let him go abroad instead of taking his life, Arthur North said softly, this time if he still harbours such intentions, there is no way Im going to let him off again. Hugo rk smoked in silence, looking down. If necessary, tell William Lane about Olivia Lanes arrest, Arthur North said, Let him take action. Hugo rk chuckled, this was indeed a good strategy of killing with a borrowed knife; a ssic move of his third uncle. Arthur North, with his left hand behind his back, stood tall, he nced at Hugo rk and said, Hugo, I underestimated you. You even dare to have feelings for the Lane Familys daughter. Hugo rk was taken aback, he subconsciously wanted to retort but didnt speak. A twelve years age difference and shes still in high school. Arthur North chuckled, I wonder if William Lane would bite. Im actually starting to look forward to his reaction now. Hugo rk: Arthur North chuckled again, My third uncle certainly didnt foresee your love life to be thisplicated. You probably know how much the Lane Family spoils their daughter. Those hurdles set by her parentsand her brother Hugo rk: But at least youre a match in terms of status. Arthur North said, My third uncle will prepare a generous dowry for you. Hugo rks face darkened further, May the Third Uncles love life go smoothly. Arthur North raised an eyebrow, Of course. I dont have the pressure from a father-inw and a cousin brother. Hugo rk knew he couldnt win this argument, mainly because he couldnt deny the truth, so he coldly stated, Third Uncle, Im going back. And headed back to his own courtyard. Arthur North watched his retreating figure and chuckled. It seemed that the young man was indeed smitten. The rk Family and the Lane Family were actually about to form a marriage alliance. If word got out, there would be countless people openly and secretly obstructing it. Upon returning to the living room, Daisy Zane was sitting in a chair, ying a game on her phone. Daisy Zane heard footsteps, looked up at him, then shut off her phone and stood up. Whats the matter? He asked. Going home. Daisy Zane said. Where? He asked. Daisy Zane looked at him and then uttered a single word: Home. Stay the night. Arthur North suggested, The lotuses are blooming beautifully. Tomorrow, I can take you around the courtyard. The scenery is really nice. Daisy Zane studied him. Seeing her eyes fixed on him, Arthur North chuckled and said, My parents have gone to Oxford City to visit Old Master Lane, they wont be home for the next couple of days. Daisy Zane watched him, but he still didnt move. Kevin rk took another step towards her, looked down at her and said softly, Come see my courtyard, see the ce where I grew up. Daisy Zanes expression softened a bit. Seeing this, Kevin rk bent down to peck her lips, then took her hand and led her outside, Lets go to my courtyard. When they reached the living room entrance, a servant handed them two handheldnterns. Kevin rk took one, One will do. Daisy looked at the lotus-shapedntern in his hand. It wasnt pink, just shaped like a lotus, and the color was a dim yellow. One side of it bore the word rk Manor. The entire mansion had no incandescent lights. The lights in the rooms were dim yellow, thenterns hanging under the eaves in the courtyard were of the rk Manor, and rows of ground lights lined both sides of every path. All were dim yellow. The whole rk Manor, brightly lit, looked from afar like stars scattered on the ground, all wrapped in a romantic ambiance. Kevin rk noticed her looking at thentern, Do you want to hold it? Daisy took it from him and held it. Seeing her satisfied curiosity, Kevin rk smiled slightly, Shall we walk over, or take a car? How long will it take? Daisy asked. Within thirty minutes. Lets walk. Good, said Kevin rk softly, Lets enjoy our homes courtyard on our way. It was indeed worth admiring. After a while, Daisy asked, Can we take a car? Yes, Kevin rk said, If we take a car, its a different route. The car route is smoother and wider. I can show you tomorrow. Daisy contemted and agreed, considering the size of the mansion, it was quite tiring to walk around, especially since Kevin rks parents were aged. My parents live in the central courtyard, Kevin rk introduced, My eldest brother and Hugo live in the eastern courtyard. But they both mostly reside outside. Where do you live? The western courtyard? I live in the north. When they reached a moon gate, Kevin rk let Daisy go first, The northern courtyard has thergest area, including the part up the mountain. I also dug a lotus pond over there. Twenty-acre lotus pond, Daisy said. Kevin rk chuckled, The rumors are inurate. How much then? Twenty-five acres. Daisy: So much for inurate rumors. They had been walking for over ten minutes, winding around. If anyone had a slightly poor sense of direction, once they entered, they would probably lost and cant find their way out. A few minutester, Daisy suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. After a few steps, they stepped onto an arched wooden bridge. There were ground lights on both sides of the bridge, and there were roundmpshades on the railings. Below the bridge was a small river, from which the sound of water came, but both sides seem endless. Only after a certain distance, there would be a simr small bridge. Faintly, there was a small boat and lotus flowers in the river. The riverside was lined with willow trees, swaying gently in the slight night breeze. Your lotus flowers? Daisy stopped and looked at the river. They were donated to the river. The ones that didnt grow well, I would have them transnted here, said Kevin rk, Tomorrow when its cooler, I can take you boating. A gentle breeze brushed her face, with a small bridge over the flowing river. Unexpectedly, Daisy felt like she was in a small southern town, feeling carefree andfortable. Seeing that she likes this ce, Kevin rk was secretly pleased. Finally, she liked more than just the Doomsday Hotel in her heart.. Chapter 198 - 188: Broke a Lotus Flower Chapter 198: Chapter 188: Broke a Lotus Flower Trantor: 549690339 The courtyard of Arthur Norths home was not onlyrge, but also more luxurious than any courtyard Daisy Zane had seen on her way here. Pavilions, terraces, flying eaves and painted walls, jade towers and golden pces. The road leading directly to his living room is paved with cut jadeite rough stones. Daisy Zane looked with thentern, and the ones she saw were of good quality and good color. If Felix Baker were to see this road, he would probablye with a shovel to dig out the stones. All the servants in his courtyard were male and wore long robes, but in different colors, all ck. There were quite a few people, and ever since Daisy Zane entered the courtyard, everyone would take a look at her. Curiosity was in their eyes, but they dared not look too much or act improperly. That night, Arthur North gave his room to Daisy Zane and went to sleep in the guesthouse. Fearing she might not sleep well in this strange environment, he lit calming incenses in the room. As a result, Daisy Zane didnt wake up until more than 10 0clock in the morning. At past eight oclock, she heard someonee in once. She opened her eyes and saw that Arthur North had brought her new clothes. She remembered Arthur North walking to the head of her bed and kissing her, then she went back to sleep. She even had a dream in her sleep. She dreamed of a three or four-year-old girl, who identally tripped while crossing a small wooden bridge. It didnt seem to hurt badly but not very much either. Because the little girl got up by herself and brushed off the dirt on her skirt. But then suddenly, an elder brother came over and squatted down in front of her, asking if she was hurt. The little girl then threw herself into his arms, crying and asking him to hug her. Daisy Zane wanted to see what this elder brother looked like. But just before she could see him, she suddenly woke up. Upon opening her eyes, Daisy Zane stared at the ceiling for a while, thinking that maybe she had stood on that bridge too longst night, which was why she had such a dream. She got up and washed and rinsed her face. While changing her clothes, Daisy Zane realized that Arthur North had not only prepared a dress for her but also underwear. The dress was a regr outfit from Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and the underwear was also from the brand she usually wore. Moreover, the sizes were all appropriate. Daisy Zane didnt know how to describe her feelings when she put on her clothes, but she had a strange feeling of being seen through. After changing her clothes, she went out and saw only a few servants in the living room, but Arthur North was not there. One of them saw hering down and immediately approached her, saying, Lady, Third Master has gone to the front courtyard. Daisy Zane nodded her head. Would you like to have breakfast, Miss? No, Ill eat lunchter. Another servant poured her a ss of water. Daisy Zane took it and said thank you. Third Master said you can walk around and look anywhere you want, the servant said, We can take you there. You can also go to the front courtyard to find him. Daisy Zane took a sip of water, thought for a moment and said, Take me to the Lotus Flower Pond. All right, please follow me. The twenty-five-acre Lotus Pond was in full bloom in this season. A sight to see, whereyers of green leaves were connected to the sky, and every lotus flower was as pure as jade. Walking on the corridor around the lotus pond, it was only when she got closer that she realized the variety of lotus in each pond was different. Lotus flowers can vary greatly in color, petal width, and number. There can even be significant differences between the leaves. Additionally, each pond has its own name. Looking at the ques hanging on the railings of the ponds, the names should have been written by Kevin rk himself. Indeed, he is very dedicated to these lotus flowers. Daisy Zane arrived at the lotus pond and didnt let anyone else follow her. She walked along the corridor, admiring the scenery. She wasnt sure where the lotus pond led to, so she just followed the corridor. The sun felt quite strong in this month, and Daisy began to feel sweaty after walking for a while. She stopped by the edge of a lotus pond to rest. There was a blooming lotus flower near the edge of the pond, with long slender petals arrangedyer uponyer. As she took it all in, she reached down to touch it gently. The lotus flower swayed lightly, and she smiled slightly. Then she noticed a goldfish hidden beneath a lotus leaf. Underneath the leaf, the goldfish seemed quite calm and content, unaware that it was being observed. As Daisy was about to startle the fish, she suddenly heard the sound of approaching footsteps. The footsteps were light, not Kevins. They seemed to belong to a young woman. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Daisy stood up straight and turned to look. There was a young woman about five meters away, walking towards her. Seeing Daisy looking her way, the young woman stopped in her tracks. The young woman had an elegant air about her. Her hair was dyed light blue and worn in a bun. She had fair skin and a natural look on her face. Her eyes had the ssic almond shape, and her lips a vibrant red, not like the color of lipstick. She dressed in a practice outfit of white top and ck pants, giving her a slender, delicate figure. Separated by five meters, the two locked eyes for a moment. Then the young woman broke into an excited smile and quickly approached Daisy. Daisy watched her walk towards her and scrutinized her, saying, Riley Maxwell, is that really you? Daisy looked at her calmly without saying a word, her expression unchanged. The young womanughed, No, Riley Maxwell is a characters name. Your name is Daisy Zane, right? I absolutely love your performance in Fall of the Quince, big fan! Daisy didnt expect to encounter a fan here. My name is Lily Parker, The young woman didnt mind Daisys silence and aloofness, and continued to introduce herself, Um what are you doing here? Oh! Did Allonzo Hobson bring you here? A member of the rk Family Daisy thought for a moment. This young woman should be Kevin rks niece, Hugo rks younger sister. Hello, Daisy said. Hello, hello, Lily Parkerughed, How did youe here on your own? Why didnt Allonzo Hobson apany you? The view here is nice, Daisy replied. The view is indeed nice, but the owner here is quite fierce, Lily Parker thought for a moment before describing, Like a big gray wolf. Daisy arched her eyebrows but said nothing. Seriously, dont doubt it, Lily Parker continued, He treats these lotus flowers like treasures and will tolerate anyone just looking at them, but if someone were to touch them, hell snap. Ive heard of that. So even you know, Lily said while bending over to poke the lotus flower, Allonzo Hobson must have told you, but why would he leave you here alone? He should have been worried that the big gray wolf would eat you. Watching her vent her frustration by poking the lotus flower, Daisy smiled and said, Be careful itll break As soon as Daisy said that, Lily, used too much force and broke the lotus stem, while also knocking off a leaf. The two watched the broken lotus fall towards the pond. Lily swiftly grabbed it, preventing it fromnding in the water. Bending over with one hand supporting her on the railing and the other holding the lotus flower, she looked at Daisy in terror. Daisy watched as Lilys face instantly turned pale. Five five figures Daisy: Plus plus my life Lily was on the verge of tears.. Chapter 199 - 189: Devoting Oneself Chapter 199: Chapter 189: Devoting Oneself Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane watched as a sunny girl turned into a pale-faced, motionless, and miserable miss who couldnt stand up straight. She looked at the flower in her hand and thought: Or maybe Before she could finish her sentence, a voice rang out behind them: What are you two doing? It was Kevin rks voice. Lily Parker shuddered in fright. Daisy Zane felt that if she hadnt held onto her, Lily could have shuddered herself right into the pond. Kevin rk saw the two of them not moving, so he walked over. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Lily nced at Daisy, her eyes full of apology. She then hid her hand behind her back and straightened up. Third Uncle, she greeted him, smiling. Kevin looked at her ingratiating smile and ignored her, turning his gaze to Daisy Zane. Daisy didnt understand the meaning of her expression temporarily, so she also stood up straight and looked at Kevin rk without saying anything. Whats wrong? No Daisy tried to move forward but was stopped by Lily. Daisy looked at her and saw her move to her side, pressing her arm against herself and squeezing it behind her back. Then Lily stuffed the lotus in her hand from behind her back to Daisys. Daisy Zane instantly understood why Lily had given her an apologetic look earlier. After Lily handed her the lotus flower, she distanced herself and smiled imploringly. Clutching the lotus flower, Daisy stood with her hands behind her back, expressionless but secretly thinking about the five-digit sum of money. Lily smiled and introduced Daisy: Third Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Daisy Zane, a superstar. Brother Xavier Dominic brought her. Kevin rk nced at her and said nothing. Third Uncle, how did youe here? asked Lily, taking a few steps closer to him. Ive been practicing hardtely, and my progress has been huge. Youre here at home, so why dont you give me some guidance? Lets go to the practice room. Watch you practice in the heat of noon? How can I eat after that? Lily: Im not as bad as you say. Dont you know if youre bad or not? Lily pouted and said, Lets have lunch first then, and after that, you can watch me. Sister Lucia is waiting for Brother Xavier, so well go first. Youre scaring her with your fierceness. Wait for Allonzo Hobson? Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane and asked, Whats wrong? Did you forget who your boyfriend is after one sleep? Daisy Zane: . What boyfriend? Shes Brother Xaviers friend, and Brother Xavier doesnt even like girls. Lily grabbed Kevins sleeve, urging, Lets go, Third Uncle, youve scared her. Kevin rk pulled his sleeve out of her hand and said calmly, Men and women should not give or receive things, dont touch other people, my girlfriend wont be happy about it. Daisy Zane: . Your girlfriend is not here. Kevin rk: Kevin looked at his silly niece and walked over to Daisy. Shes not always this clueless. Our family genes are pretty good. Daisy looked at him, silently and expressionlessly. Whats wrong? Did she bully you? Kevin reached out and rubbed her face. Ah! Lily finally reacted, covering her mouth immediately after yelling. She looked at the two of them in terror. Whats behind you? Kevin asked. Daisy touched the lotus stem and thought for a moment. If I mean, if someone destroyed your most precious thing, and they could onlypensate with money, would you agree to let them bargain? Kevin raised his eyebrows and looked behind her. I would agree if she gives herself to me in exchange. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk gasped as he listened in. Arthur North took another step towards her, lowered his head and said, No need to give money, just offer your body in exchange. Plus, theres a betrothal gift. Isnt that a great deal? Daisy looked at his smile, knowing that he must have guessed what she did. She directly took out the broken Lotus and threw it into his arms, boldly saying, Name your price. Arthur caught the Lotus, took a look at it, and smiled as he pinched her cheek, Its not worth much, dont worry. Ah? Kevin couldnt believe what he had just heard. If he hadnt touched a Lotus before and lost all his New Years money he had saved up for three years, he would have really believed Arthurs words. Do you like it? asked Arthur, There are many more of different varieties over there. You can pick a few more to make dried flowers. Kevin felt like he was listening to nonsense. The pool full of Lotuses was precious in other peoples hands, but it became worthless in his wifes hands! Pick a few more! Have you considered the feelings of the Lotus?! Have you considered his feelings?! Its not like youre giving away the Lotus for someone else to raise and die, but youre insinuating that they should pay for it! Kevins anger made his eyebrows stand on end. But the moment Arthur turned around, his face immediately turned into a smile as he obediently called out, Third Uncle. Arthur looked at Kevin and said, I wont pursue how the flower broke today. You should know for whose sake is this. Kevin obediently nodded and said, I know its for Auntie. Thank you, Auntie. Daisy Zane: . Arthur was delighted by her calling him Auntie. He said, Hmm, Ille to check your martial arts practice some other day. Kevins mouth twitched. He eventually managed to say, Okay. Leave now, Arthur ordered without any courtesy. Kevin was speechless but could only smile and say, Okay. Goodbye, Third Uncle, goodbye Auntie. He quickly left after saying it. Is it hot? Arthur asked Daisy, noticing a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. Its alright. Lets go back first, Arthur said, Ill bring you back here when its cooler in the afternoon. Okay. As they walked back, Arthur held the Lotus behind his back with one hand and held Daisys hand with the other. Both of their footsteps were slow, leisurely strolling along the corridor. It was as if they were merging into a picturesque scene with the surroundingndscape. Green leaves and pure lotus, a beautiful woman walking gracefully. After lunch, Ill take you to meet a few people, Arthur said. Hmm? Yesterday, Enamel Cannon went to save Olivia Lane. He found several bottles of 319, Arthur said, It was dug up in the courtyard. Did they question those few people? Enamel Cannons men questioned them, but they didnt get any useful information, Arthur said, ording to Enamel Cannon, they dont seem like ordinary small fries who know nothing. Daisys expression dimmed. Arthurs Second Uncle Peter He wouldnt be working with Edward Kirstens people, would he? After lunch, Ill take you to take a look too. Okay.. Chapter 200 - 190: Edward Kirsten ‘s People Chapter 200: Chapter 190: Edward Kirsten s People Trantor: 549690339 From the ce where Olivia Lane was captured, the people brought back were obviously professionally trained, They wouldnt say anything when questioned, and didnt even have a slight change in expression. Their psychological quality was very solid. Hugo rk fought against several of them, professionally trained fighters. Moreover, after being captured, they all appeared to prefer dying over revealing any information. After lunch, Daisy Zane and Arthur North got in a car inside the mansion and headed to the north side. The cars inside the mansion were generally divided into two types. One was a sedan chair, and the other was a pnquin. Both the seating areas were made of wood. But the driving force was electric, not carried by people. Underneath the sedan chair and pnquin was a square intelligent robot with four wheels. Just insert a coin or scan a barcode in front of it, tell it the destination, and it would start and take you there. There were also different speeds and modes. If you were in a hurry, it would go faster and be more stable. But if you had a leisurely pace, just wanting to take a look around, its speed would be slower, and it could even sway slightly, giving people the real feeling of sitting in a sedan chair or pnquin. There were also many styles of sedan chairs and pnquins to choose from, luxurious, fresh, simple, elegant Arthur North and Daisy Zane got into a sedan chair, and then Arthur North fingerprinted himself on his side. The robot below immediately lit up, and the machinery said, Third Master, hello. Owen rk will serve you throughout the whole journey. Daisy Zane nced at him and said, Dont you have to pay? I dont have to. They were all made by me. They all have my fingerprints on record. Arthur North said, Only I have this privilege. Thats why it calls me Third Master. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow: How does it charge normally? Twenty dors per trip, Arthur North said, No matter the distance, its twenty. Its cheap. Anyone can ride as long as they pay. So where does the money go? Of course, to my ount. Arthur North raised his eyebrows, Its a service I provide. Daisy Zane chuckled, not letting even his own familys money go, this manreally had a ck heart. Of course, its all yours too. With that said, Daisy Zane suddenly felt that he was a kind and beautiful person, only charging twenty dors per trip, too little. Please enter the destination for the two passengers, Owen rks mechanical voice suddenly sounded. To the 18th Prison. Alright, Owen rk will serve you for the whole journey. Why is she called Owen rk? Daisy Zane asked. Code number eleven. Daisy Zane:So casual. About ten minutester, Owen rk stopped: We have arrived at the 18th Prison. Third Master and beautifuldy, please rate my service. A five-star rating may be just a word of mouth for you, but it is the motivation for me to work hard for a day. I Shut up. Arthur North spat out two words. Owen rk immediately changed to a submissive mechanical voice, Alright! You two have a good day. Then Owen rk went to the designated parking area for them. Its quite talkative. Daisy Zane said. Arthur North said, This talkative program was set up by Juan Wright. Daisy Zaneughed and briefly looked at the house in front of her. There was only one level, looking like a back room. On the door que, it read: 18th Prison. Both sides of the door had three people standing. They were all dressed in the same ck suits. Just by looking at them, you could tell that they were all martial artists, and their skills were not shallow. Kevin rk led Daisy Zane in, and the six men at the entrance bowed neatly and shouted, Third Master. After entering, Daisy Zane saw the first elevator she had seen sinceing here, and it was a descending one. From the elevator, it can go down to the tenth underground floor. Kevin rk took her to the third underground floor and saw the captives. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson were there, taking turns questioning them. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane watched from behind the ss for a while, but still couldnt get any information. Do they have 319 inside them? No, Kevin rk said, but some reports simr to the Red Cliff Vige Brick Factory were dug up in the courtyard. Are there any new reactions? Simr to the previous ones. The difference between 319(i) and 319 is very small, only the dose of that unknownponent is slightly higher, said Daisy Zane. From what we know recently, there hasnt been any new reaction, but the cycle of their reactions has shortened. Kevin rk looked at her. He hadnt told her about the difference between 319(i) and 319, how did she know that the unknownponent had increased? Daisy Zane watched through the ss for a while. The person being questioned not only didnt say anything but was even provoking them. Generally, in this situation, they know that they cant get out. They are desperate to die and dont want to be tortured. Thats why they publicly provoke and speak madly. But the people trained by the rk Family are of a high caliber. Comparing mental fortitude, patience, and endurance, these people didnt think they had the upper hand. Sometimes mental torture is more crushing than physical pain. But obviously, it was a time-consuming process. By the time they confess to a trading location, that location will probably already be empty, said Daisy Zane. Now being able to destroy one is enough, Kevin rk said. Emptying one location is also a step towards dismantling one hideout. Cant you find any information about them? No, its very clean. Another person was interrogated in the room, and when the man sat down, he also had the same arrogant attitude. He twisted his neck left and right, not answering any questions. Daisy Zane watched and suddenly saw the edge of a tattoo under his clothes when he moved his neck. Whats under his clothes? Kevin rk had seen it just now as well, and nced at the people behind him. One of them immediately went into the room, held down the person being questioned, and rudely pulled open his clothes. When the clothes were stripped, the back was exposed. A ck chaotic fierce beast was tattooed on the left side of this persons scap. The tattoo was entirely ck, but the eyes of the chaos beast were red. Daisy Zanes pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice became colder: Is he the only one with it? Seeing her reaction, Kevin rk immediately looked at the other people behind him. They got the hint and left immediately. Three minutester, one person came back and said, Third Master, indeed only he has it. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked through the ss at the tattoo and said, Focus on questioning him, he should know a lot. The ck chaotic beast, red eyes, with the eyes as the center, and observing it in a unique way, one can discover that there is a rather special totem on the tattoo. It is a totem personally drawn by Edward Kirsten. Besides having Alice Eugene, who almost always protected him 24 hours a day, Edward Kirsten also had 28 Star Guards and four fierce beasts under hismand. These people all could meet him. They even knew where Edward Kirsten was. It seemed that Edward Kirsten must have really cooperated with Henry rk, and with great sincerity too.. Chapter 201 - 191: Interrogation Chapter 201: Chapter 191: Interrogation Trantor: 549690339 Ever seen one? Kevin rk asked. Ive seen the tattoo. Daisy Zane said, However, the chances of him revealing anything are slim. Kevin rk lightly raised his eyebrows. Once it was clear who was more valuable and who knew more, it was time for him to step in. Daisy Zane stood outside the one-way ss, watching that man, she idly twisted her fingertip. Kevin rk went to the interrogation room, walked directly in front of the man, leaning on the table in front of him, looking down at him. I know, you dont fear death, you have no attachments. Kevin rk cut straight to the chase, Even during your training, you underwent all sorts of drug resistance exercises. So we cant really do anything with you. If you know that, then dont waste your breath. But there is something your body cant resist. A hint of contemptced Kevin rks eyes, Honestly, Ive trained a batch of assassins before, any one of them would whip you. The man looked at him, without making a sound. So Im quite familiar with your kind of training methods. Kevin rk said, How do you think I trained that group of people to be stronger than you? What are you trying to say? You got to your current position through some form of training. Kevin rk said, Because youve been through it, you might now look back and feel that the training back then was nothing. But Kevin rk chuckled lightly, but theughter didnt reach his eyes. The chilling look in his eyes was bone-chilling, If its ten times more brutal than those trainings, do you think you can still withstand it? Not knowing if he was reminded of his past trainings or frightened by Kevins cold gaze, the seated man suddenly swallowed his saliva. Honestly, I dont understand what youre insisting on. Kevin rk continued in a slow voice, Youre not even afraid of death. Are you afraid of saying some things? What can happen if you talk? Talking would only make you feel better now. Even if people curse you, hate you. But you are here now, what does that have to do with you? Kevin rks voice was very soft, as if a bone-scraper was lightly scraping on bone. Even facing his back, Hugo rk couldnt help but frown a little. And Allonzo Hobsons hairs stood on end. Not just because of his terrifying aura, but also the way he used to train people, his means. It was simply purgatory, unbearable for a man. What are you afraid of? You dont have anyone to worry about out there. Kevin rk lightly waggled his wrist, Even if you do have someone to worry about. Youve been caught, could the one you care about really end well? On Kevin rks left wrist today, there was a mechanical watch worn together with an eaglewood bracelet. The man couldnt help but nced at his watch as he moved, and sneered, Those of you young masters, all you have are fair-weather friends, naturally you cant understand people like us, loyalty, fidelity! Loyalty, fidelity? Kevin rkughed as he spoke. The lowughter, gloomy, frightening, contemptuous. Theughter made everyone present feel numb inside. It was like some curse, making people feel slightly disintegrated as they listened. What are youughing at! Kevin rk chuckled again, his hand drooping at his side, his fingers lightly tapping the tabletop, Of course, Imughing at your naivety. Loyalty and fidelity? Do you think your master possesses these things? The man pursed his lips, his chest heaving violently, staring at Kevin rk. Loyalty, fidelity, its mutual. Kevin rk tapped the table, Do you know what mutual means? Its when youre here, and theyre outside contemting how to rescue you. Instead of you being in here, undergoing each round of torturous interrogation. Theyre outside figuring how to save themselves, how to secure their own safety, how to disconnect from you, topletely erase all traces of you from their world. Daisy Zane watched Kevin rk from the outside. The same interrogation, but the effect reached by Kevin rk was indeed different. It wasnt that Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson, including all these people from the rk family, were ipetent or weak. It was just that when Kevin rk leaned in there, the oppressive sensation striking directly at ones heart aplished at least one-third of the work in breaking them down. Both Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson had strong, profound, oppressive, and shrewd auras when facing them. Yet, for these men who live on the edge of a knife, men somitted they could be called deathsworn, this effect was not significant. Of course, given more time, something could undoubtedly be extracted. But Kevin rk, he embodied a certain bloody aura that could induce oppressive fear in these deathsworn. It was as if he had walked down all the roads these men trod, like he had used their corpses to ascend to the peak. Thats why his words were more likely to breach their psychological defenses. Daisy Zane had to admit, even separated by ss, Kevin rk left an imposing fear in her. Kevin rk kept rhythmically tapping on the desk, with the sitting man seeing only his hand rapping on the surface. He stared at those fingers, then shifted his gaze to the wristwatch on rks wrist. He watched as the seconds hand ticked, ticked away. After a while, his emotional state began to fluctuate. The tapping fingers on the desk, the rhythm of the second hands movement, made a discord in his hearing and sight. All the things you did today, werent they just to make your life a bit better, to bask in worldly pleasures and joy? Kevin rk softly looked down at him, his voice was even softer, Otherwise, why would you endure such excruciating training? Wouldnt it be easier just to find a hole to lie down in and bury yourself alive? The sitting man, his eyes drifting over the watch, began to ze over. In addition to Kevin rks voice, the ticking sound of the seconds hand grew louder in his ears. Think about it, does your master truly deserve your loyalty? Kevin rk continued looking at him, his tapping on the desk gradually lessening, his fingers slowly pulling back, Your striven faith is in worldly pleasures. Your master only promises you money to enjoy them. In working for him, he pays you. Its essentially a straightforward transaction. The mans eyes started to defocus. Why should you die for him? What does he have thats worth your life? Kevin rks expression, his speed of speech, remained the same, He isnt worth it. But if you share what we want to know, I can assure you a morefortable life than you have now. Really? Kevin rks eyebrows twitched slightly: How do you feel now? Dizzy, nauseous, short of breath? Numb all over? The sitting man screwed up his eyebrows. Every symptom rk mentioned added to his difort: Yes. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson exchanged nces, both inwardly drawing a breath. From behind the ss, Daisy Zane frowned. Hypnosis Psychological defenses, rhythmic tapping, mechanical watch For the first time, Daisy Zane felt that Kevin rk was more terrifying than she had imagined. I can make you feel better, would you like that? Kevin rks voice took on a strangely eerie tone. Yes. Then answer a few questions for me. Fine. Where does the 319e from? Got , got it from theboratory. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes slightly: Whichboratory? The man sitting there was growing paler by the minute. He seemed genuinely unwell, his breath uneven, and stutteringly gave three locations. Any others? there are others. the man said, But, but I dont know. Dont know? Hmm. the man struggled to say, My main task, was, was to assist Henry rk. Help, help Henry rk, do, do business in the Imperial Capital. While also, attending to, some, 319 matters. I, I only know of these three, three locations.. Chapter 202 - 192: Hypnosis Fails Chapter 202: Chapter 192: Hypnosis Fails Trantor: 549690339 The sound in the interrogation room could be heard outside the ss. After the interrogatee provided three locations, no one in the interrogation room made any move, afraid that any noise might wake him up. But Hugo rk immediately looked towards the ss outside. Several people stood outside the ss, who, upon receiving Hugo rks gaze, nodded and immediately left. Harton rks questioning continued, How many people in the domestic front are helping Henry rk? I, I dont know. We all act independently and dont contact each other. The team I led has all been captured by you. Were you involved in the production of 319? No. We, we are only responsible for carrying out various tasks assigned to us. There are dedicated researchers for 319. Harton rk asked, Where is the research site? I dont know. The stuff we got was at entertainment venues in various continents. Someone would give it to us there, and then we would send it out. Who is your superior? I dont know. We use codes every time we meet. There are men and women, whoever we encounter. But since I got caught, their code is voided and wont be used anymore. Harton rks expression darkened a bit, after dealing for several years. They couldnt catch anyone because the person was too cautious, leaving no small detail for people to notice. To whom have you always been loyal? Harton rk asked again. I dont know who he is That was a question with several unknowns. Harton rk changed his inquiry, Then describe him. He he he wears a ck mask, his eyes are light blue, and his face is not clear. Hes about 61 tall and wears a suit on his right hand, the right index finger has a ring. A ring? What does it look like? Harton rk asked. Its silver with a totem. And theres theres also The man being interrogateds face became worse and worse, two letters Y H Daisy Zane listened to his words, her hands clenched tighter, and her expression grew colder and more indifferent. Harton rk paused for a few seconds, roughly piecing together the appearance he described. Is he a foreigner? His hair is ck, and he speaks Mandarin. He is of mixed race. Do you know his name? The first time we met he introduced himself. He is called Edward Kirsten. But which characters they are, Im not, not sure. Harton rk looked at his scattered eyesight and hesitated, Then do you know where he is? I dont know. Daisy Zane listened outside, her eyes trembling slightly. Then where was thest ce you saw him? Harton rk continued to ask. At at at The man being interrogated suddenly groaned, and his head drooped bit by bit. His breathing became more and more short. At at ah! He suddenly gave a low growl, as if a trapped beast was about to break through the cage. The movement was too considerable, making Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson promptly get up and walk to Harton rks side. Meanwhile, the man under interrogation struggled violently. But since both his feet and hands were tied, he was bounced back after a struggle. With so much agitation, he broke out of the hypnosis forcibly. He leaned back against the chair, his eyes bulging upward at the incandescentmp above him, gasping for air. For an instant, there was sweat all over his neck and face. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson looked at Harton rk. But Harton rk leaned against the table behind him, quietly watching him, his expression unchanging from beginning to end. You, you hypnotized me. The seated man didnt move, only his eyes moved, looking at Harton rk. Harton rk looked at him without saying a word. After a while, the man suddenlyughed softly, Not bad, Edward Kirsten really isnt worth dying for. But you also arent worth doing anything for me! Either way Ill die. Even if I dont die, I wont have a good life. The man became more and more fierce as he spoke, I wont have a good life! None of you will have a good life either! Go search slowly! Dont expect to hear another word from my mouth! Harton rk chuckled lightly, then picked up a dagger on the table, patted his face, and said, I hope your sudden burst of courage canst a bit longer. He had hypnotized him just now, suggesting his difort, making him uneasy for so long. He also asked him so many questions. He had revealed many secrets. For a dead professional trained man, it can be said to be a great humiliation. Physical and psychological difort. Enough to suddenly stimte his courage and the counter-psychology of refusing cooperation. The man sneered, You can try it and see if I would say another word. Harton rk lightly raised his eyebrows, then turned his wrist and inserted the dagger into his forearm. The dagger pierced his forearm, and blood dripped onto his clothes and seat. The mans facial expression twisted instantly, but he gritted his teeth and didnt utter a sound. Harton rk didnt even bother saying an extra word to him. He directly looked at the people behind him and had them take him away. He expressed his utmost contempt for the trash. The man seemed a little surprised, wondering why Harton rk would start without asking him anything again, making his aggressive courage seem a bit ridiculous. After he was taken out, Harton rk said, Let people ask all of them one by one. Reveal some information that the man said to them, and say that he confessed everything. Then tell them its to verify the authenticity of the information. If anyone says something that is false and different from what the others say, kill them. Understood! The Ye Family member standing by responded and went to order people. Lock up that man just now separately, lock him inside the ss door upstairs. Dont treat his injury. Harton rk said, Additionally, find a few people he is familiar with and lock them in front of him. Treat these people a bit better. Let him see how we treat those who actively cooperate. Understood. After saying that, Harton rk left the interrogation room. Of course, Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson followed him out. The two of them came out and saw Daisy Zane outside. Brook Sister, are you here too? Mm. Hugo rk nodded at her again, greeting her. Daisy Zane looked at Harton rk and said softly, The hypnosis technique is not bad. Harton rk smiled softly with his eyes and said, Thanks for thepliment. Hugo rk looked at his Third Uncle and how he suddenly changed his face: Allonzo Hobson, however, was already used to it and didnt find it odd anymore. Harton rk didnt bother with them, holding Daisy Zanes hand as they walked out, saying as they went, Are you afraid? I might hypnotize you at any time and ask you what I want to know. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and provocatively said, You can try it. Harton rks hypnosis, the first step, was to break through a persons psychological defenses, making them weak-willed and mentally scattered. However, Daisy Zane had undergone extraordinary training, breaking her psychological defenses hard to say the least. This first step would be Harton rks biggest obstacle. I dont dare try. Harton rk smiled, Im afraid of getting beaten. How could Harton rk bear to attack her psychological defenses? Hugo rk: Chapter 203 - 193: I Lived with Him for Four Years Chapter 203: Chapter 193: I Lived with Him for Four Years Trantor: 549690339 The four of them came out of the 18th Prison and sat down in a nearby gazebo. A servant brought them a pot of cold tea and poured it for each of them. The sunshade and gentle breeze made them feel cool when they calmed down. But some people just couldnt sit still, like Allonzo Hobson. So in less than a minute, while the other three enjoyed the breeze and the gift of nature, Allonzo asked someone to fetch two ice creams. rk Manor is so big, with thousands of servants. The sry and welfare here are good. So in summer, there are refrigerators with ice cream avable at intervals in rk Manor. Only they are hidden so well that they dont affect the overall ssical atmosphere of the house. Allonzo fetched two of them and specifically got a strawberry vored one for Daisy Zane. He ced it in front of Daisy and said, Brook Sister, here. Putting the spoon in his mouth, he sat down and removed the lid, saying, Arent you guys hot in this weather? Daisys cool eyes were instantly drawn to the ice cream. Kevin rk looked at Daisy. Hugo also noticed that something was suddenly off and nced at Daisy as well. Sister Lucia, eat it, its free, said Allonzo. Daisy stared at the ice cream for two seconds, then pretending not to see Kevins gaze, reached out to open the ice cream box. As she reached for a spoon, she caught sight of Kevins hand reaching out in the corner of her eye. Daisy quickly pressed down on Kevins hand, then looked up at him. Allonzo bit down on his spoon, looking at the two of them, unable to swallow the ice cream he had just put in his mouth. Hugo was also startled by the sudden coldness in Daisys demeanor and looked at the couple. Kevin exchanged a look with her andughed, What? If I dont let you eat, are you going to kill your husband? Daisys expression remained unchanged, and she just stared at him without speaking. Anyone else would have been scared witless. But to Kevins eyes, it only made her seem cuter. She looked like a little wild cat protecting her food. Proud, aloof, and adorable. Ill help you tear it open, Kevin saw that she didnt let go andpromised, You can pretend to steal it. I wont see. It wasnt until Daisy realized that he wasnt lying that she let go of his hand. Kevin looked at the red handprint on his hand, picked up a spoon, tore open the packaging bag, and then put it in the ice cream in front of her. Allonzo swallowed the ice cream that had melted in his mouth and began to angrily scrape at the ice cream in his hand with his spoon. He thought the couple was going to fight, but they were actually showing off their love! Hugo quietly looked away, sipping his tea with the manners he had cultivated for thirty years, trying not to roll his eyes in frustration. Daisys face didnt change, but after taking a bite of ice cream, Kevin could clearly feel her happiness. So he smiled softly. Allonzo angrily ate two more bites, feeling his mood improved, and then asked, Arthur, why did that man just break his hypnosis by himself? Kevin finally took his eyes off Daisy and looked at him, He must have had special training on Edward Kirstens address. Special training? Yeah. Kevin rk exined, For instance, I just asked him where hest saw Edward Kirsten. This question probably reminded him of something too painful to bear. So he broke out of the hypnosis himself. This kind of training must be very cruel. Hugo rk said, Cruel enough to make a death warrior of this level fear it. Mmhmm. Allonzo Hobson rested his chin on his hand and said, Since we cant get the address out of him this time through hypnosis, the same result will happen next time. We can only wait until he is willing to talk. Then there is no definite time. Hugo rk said solemnly, With his current reaction, his psychological defenses are high, and he will definitely stalemate with us for a while. Allonzo Hobson nodded. Ive already sent someone to check those three locations. Hugo rk said, Theyll take a cautious look for now, without alerting anyone. I dont know if there have been any transfers. In all my life, Ive never met someone as difficult to deal with as this Edward Kirsten guy. Allonzo Hobson said, High intelligence, very cautious. If I lived this carefully every day, I would die. Daisy Zane ate her ice cream leisurely, and she agreed with Allonzo Hobsons six words. Thats why you cant be born a bad guy. Hugo rk said, You dont need to be caught by others, youll expose yourself. To hell with that! I definitely wont! Allonzo Hobson replied, his legs crossed, I pursue freedom, leisure, and a simple life. You dont understand. Hugo rk ignored him. The enemy is hidden in the dark, taking advantage of their concealed position. Naturally, it will take some effort. Arthur North said, Even the most sophisticated criminals will show ws. Allonzo Hobson nodded, eating his ice cream, quiet for a while, and then asked, You said that this person has undergone special training for addresses. What about names? Could Edward Kirsten be a fake name? Hugo rk didnt say anything, but he acknowledged the possibility. There hasnt been any training, Arthur North said, but the name he knows could be fake. Allonzo Hobson started nodding again, but after only two nods, he suddenly stopped. Because he heard Daisy Zane slowly speaking, her voice casual, Its not fake, his name is Edward Kirsten. Edward as in scenery, Kirsten as in inkstone, and white as in the color white. But I dont know if he had any other names before. All three men looked at her again. Arthur North remembered the note he found in Red Cliff Vige. See youter. The signature was a single character: Kirsten. Daisy Zane sat upright, her back straight, her legs together, and even her skirt hem was tidied up when she sat down. But her posture looked rxed and casual. Proper andfortable. Brook Brook Sister, how did you know? Daisy Zane gently scraped her ice cream with a spoon, paused, and said softly, I lived with him for four years. Arthur Norths hand under the round table slowly clenched. The usually calm Hugo rks pupils trembled slightly. But the biggest reaction came from Allonzo Hobson, who had dropped the wooden spoon from his hand onto the ground, making a slight collision sound with the stone brick. What explosive news this was. Allonzo Hobson even felt a momentary ringing in his ears, as if something had dully knocked on his head. I lived with him in Continent A for four years. Daisy Zane ignored their reactions and continued, But I dont know where hisboratory is; I only found out 319 was his creation when I met an acquaintance at Red Cliff Vigest year. The only thing I know is what he was researching, but he never let me get involved. Allonzo Hobson listened to her calm voice, which sounded like she was narrating a script, and swallowed hard. Chapter 204 - 194: I Don’t Remember His Appearance Chapter 204: Chapter 194: I Dont Remember His Appearance Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zanes voice was very calm and indifferent, as if recounting these events from a third persons perspective. But the more unusual the indifference, the more it showed how much damage those past experiences had inflicted on her. Kevin rk watched her, noticing that her expression remained unchanged. After a moment, he held her hand and said, You dont have to talk about it if you dont want to. Hugo rk nced at Kevin and his surprised expression faded a bit. If his Third Uncle knew about it, there shouldnt be any problems. Its fine. Daisy Zane held Kevins hand tighter and continued, Six years ago, I blew up that ce in Continent A. I originally nned to settle things with Edward Kirsten too, but I failed, and he escaped. Allonzo Hobson, sitting across from her, stared at her dumbfoundedly, wondering how she could talk about these events so casually. Later, I almost turned Continent A upside down looking for him, said Daisy Zane. Not only in Continent A, but many other ces too. However, there has been no news. Since he escaped back then, he must have been seriously injured, said Hugo rk. Under such circumstances, he still managed to evade everyone. Yeah. I spent nearly two years studying his power structure. The explosion six years ago almost shattered his power, said Daisy Zane. It hasnt been fully rebuilt yet. Otherwise, he wouldnt have run away during the incident at Red Cliff Vige. If his power is reestablished, wont it be even harder for us to find him? Allonzo Hobsons voice trembled slightly as he spoke. Daisy Zane lowered her eyshes, stirred her ice cream a couple of times, and said softly, If his power is restored, he wille to find me. Hugo rk sensed something unusual in her words and raised his eyebrows slightly. Kevin felt it too, his expression bing enigmatic as he pressed his tongue against his teeth. Only Allonzo was left behind in his thoughts, Why? Why would hee to find you? Under the scrutiny of Kevins gaze, Daisy Zane slowly uttered two words, Revenge. Oh, right, that makes sense, said Allonzo. The four of them went quiet for a while. Kevin and Hugo could tell that Daisy was reluctant to discuss matters rted to Edward Kirsten, so they simply listened. They listened to what she wanted to tell, then integrated the information she provided. However, Allonzos mind was half-shocked, leaving only half of his brain to think, so he didnt notice anything unusual about Daisy. Brook Sister, you lived with him for four years. You must have seen what he looks like, right? Daisys eyshes fluttered slightly. Kevin turned to look at Allonzo, who received his murderous gaze and twitched the corner of his mouth, Well I just asked casually. Daisy took a bite of ice cream and after swallowing, she said, Ive seen him. Seeing that Kevin wasnt looking at him anymore, Allonzo hesitated for a moment before continuing, Then cant we rely on his appearance to But I dont remember it anymore, Daisy suddenly interrupted calmly. After being interrupted, Allonzo considered her words before bing increasingly surprised. What did she mean by not remembering? Kevins eyebrows furrowed slightly as well. I really cant recall his appearance. Since we parted, I havent been able to remember it, Daisy withdrew her hand from Kevins and held the ice cream box, switching sides while scraping the ice cream. Her voice was still cold, but it sounded more rxed and nonchnt than before, Before today, I always thought there was something wrong with me psychologically. But I dont think its enough to make me forget someones face at a psychological level. After some thought, Kevin said, He might have used hypnotic techniques on you or done some special training like the man who was just interrogated. Daisy nodded, I thought the same after what just happened. Thats why I cant remember his face when I dont see him. But I have no impression of him doing anything to me. Kevin clenched his fingertips tightly, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the anger that surged from the bottom of his heart. This Edward Kirsten If you see himwill you recognize him? Allonzo asked cautiously. Yes, Daisy replied softly. She could recognize Edward Kirsten even if he turned to ashes. I asked Wilton Edwards before, and he has never seen Edwards face. Wilton too Allonzo was surprised again. Yes, Wilton took care of my daily life in Continent A, said Daisy. Wilton and Charles Amos escaped from Continent A first, and I covered their retreat. They came to the Imperial Capital, and I went to Cold Green Vige. Kevins gaze lowered. She hadnt told him the truth back then. She had said Charles had been with her since they were kids and onlyter came under Wiltons care. It turns out that Wilton had been taking care of them both from the beginning. Thats why she respected Wilton so much. Moreover, she must have been injured six years ago, which was why she ended up in Cold Green Vige. Although Cold Green Vige was in the mountains, the province it was located in had a coastline to the south. That sea connected to Continent A. So thats how she met the real Daisy Zane and left traces of her life in Cold Green Vige. Although Allonzo was surprised, his ability to ept and process information was good, allowing him to understand the overall situation. However, Hugo, with much less information to work with, felt slightly confused. First of all, he had no idea who Wilton was. He had never heard of Charles Amos either. Secondly, he didnt understand the meaning behind Daisys statement that she went to Cold Green Vige. She was originally from Cold Green Vige, so why did her words seem to imply she didnt return there but went there? The three of them sat in the gazebo for nearly an hour before dispersing. Hugo went straight back to his courtyard in a car, Kevin and Daisy rode together in a car, and Allonzo followed in a separate vehicle. This intelligent robot had a chat mode. Daisy listened to Allonzo in the car behind them, chatting with a robot named rk 96 all the way. Allonzo was indeed a famous chatterbox in his circle, managing to chat even a robot into submission. The three of them stopped by a lotus pond. Kevin nned to take Daisy through the lotus pond and return to his own courtyard. Anyway, theyout of the rk Manor was such that all major roads led to various ces, albeit at varying distances. After getting out of the car, Kevin took an oil-paper umbre from a servant and opened it, shading Daisys head. While they were in the car, Kevin had asked a servant to bring the umbre. The oil-paper umbre was made of high-quality tung oil, which provided sun protection, and the surface was painted with green bamboo, giving it an elegant touch. Daisy nced at the umbre above her head, then lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and stepped onto the corridor. In her heart, she thought that Kevin had indeed made their life what she had always dreamed of.. Chapter 205 - 195: Saving People in the Late Night Chapter 205: Chapter 195: Saving People in the Late Night Trantor: 549690339 Eh? Arthur, youre letting her take an umbre, why dont you let her take another one for me? Im hot too. Allonzo Hobson shouted. Endure it. Kevin rk threw two words at him. Allonzo Hobson pouted, enduring it. Hmph, no need to be so fierce, having a girlfriend is so amazing, huh? He will find one tomorrow, and then get married. He will be the first one to get married! Let them all be envious! Single dogs hand in hand, whoever gets married first, happiness forever! Allonzo Hobson muttered silently in his heart for more than ten meters before speaking again, By the way, Brook Sister. Did you see a green talking birdst night when you slept here? A green bird? Daisy Zane turned to look at him, No. Kevin rk: Allonzo Hobson nced at Kevin rk, then fearlessly grinned and said, Its a parrot called Little Ten. It calls everyone Daddy. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, Really? Yeah. Allonzo Hobson said, That bird relies on peoples power to be fierce and even curses at people. It was all taught by Arthur. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk straightened up and rified, Dont listen to his nonsense. Am I that kind of person? Daisy Zane nodded, Since I havent seen itst night, I think you are. Allonzo Hobsonughed out loud. Kevin rk nced at Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson wasughing so proudly. The moment he looked up and met Kevins eyes, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. In that moment, he had even thought about where to bury himself. He even drafted his own epitaph. Its a bit noisy. Kevin rk said, So I kept it in the courtyardst night. If youwant to see it, Ill have someone bring it over. Hearing his hesitation, Daisy Zane knew that the parrot must really curse people. Kevin rk paused, then gently said, Use some of that medicine that can poison people into being mute on Allonzo Hobson, the one you mentionedst time. Daisy Zane smiled, Alright. Allonzo Hobsons eyes widened, and he stopped walking, not following them anymore. Standing still, roaring in his heart. Help! A ck-hearted couple is trying to kill someone! In the evening, Daisy Zane did not leave rk Manor and stayed there. At 11:55 in the evening, Daisy Zane opened her eyes, got up from the bed, changed into a set of ck clothes, put on a mask, and tied her hair with her own hairpin. Then she went to the north side window, opened it, and stood by the window for a while to observe. Even at this time, the lights at rk Manor were still on. From the second floor, the narrow intersecting paths had scattered lights. Under the dim star points, the darkness was illuminated with gentleness. At this time, there were not many people walking around, only those who took turns on night guard duty woulde out to patrol. With such arge manor and everyone inside being of high importance, even though the security measures outside were perfect, the people who coveted this ce and dared to covet it couldnt be ordinary. So safety patrols must be in ce. At 12:05, Daisy Zane watched the patrolling people walk past her. After passing the Moon Gate on the west side, they went south. She made sure they could not hear any movement. She ced her hands on the window sill, exerted force, and jumped out of the window. Afternding steadily, she went straight to the north side. She moved through the darkness, avoiding the patrolling people. Like a wolf prowling in the darkness, she was swift and fierce. Half an hourter, Daisy Zane saw the entrance of the 18th Prison. She hid behind a tree and looked at the six people at the entrance, then nced at the dark area to the right. Her thin lips hooked slightly, and she quickly went straight to the entrance. The six people at the entrance saw a man in ck approaching. Before they could ask anything, Daisy Zane made her move. With one hand, she struck them while Another hand took a handkerchief out of her pocket. Her actions were fast, urate, and ruthless. Controlling her strength, she knocked out two of them directly while she used the handkerchief to render the other four unconscious. Being able to guard the gates of the 18th Prison already made them very skilled, but it took Daisy Zane less than a minute to take down these six people. She even dislocated the arm of one of them and then relocated it back in ce before entering the 18th Prison. The elevator in the 18th Prison required a password, but Kevin rk didnt avoid Daisy Zane when he entered the password. So Daisy Zane smoothly arrived at Underground Level 2. It took her three minutes to deal with more than ten people on this level. She managed to knock out or intoxicate those ten-plus people while making sure they didnt hit the rm button to alert anyone else. She remembered Kevin rk mentioning on the third floor that they would keep the person being interrogated in the room with the ss door upstairs. She searched around and, as expected, found the man who had been interrogated at noon behind a ss door. Inside the ss door opposite, there were seven or eight others. These seven or eight people were meant to psychologically torment the man on the opposite side. All the people on both sides woke up upon hearing themotion and looked at her. Daisy Zane nced at the smart password lock on the ss door and raised her eyebrow slightly. She squatted down, took out her cell phone. The thin phone unfolded in the middle and she gently pulled out a projection camera, which projected aser keyboard on the floor. Daisy Zane quickly operated with her nimble fingers, and in less than half a minute, she unlocked the smart lock. Then, she looked up at the CCTV camera above her and cked it out. The cell phone returned to its original state, and Daisy Zane stood up and pushed the door open. Upon seeing Daisy Zane, the man became instantly alert. His hands were locked with iron chains, and a dagger was still embedded in his forearm. Daisy Zane approached and looked at the wound. It seemed like it had been pulled out once, but then was pushed back in. Who are you? The man asked. Daisy Zane didnt bother to talk to him, and showed him the tattoo on her right arm by rolling up her sleeve. It was a ck phoenix tattoo, and even the eyes were red. Centered around the eyes, a totem could be seen. You are Lady Alice. Daisy Zane shook her head and squatted down to undo the mans iron chains, Im Lady Alices stand-in. The man looked at her in amazement. Dont ask. Daisy Zane said coldly. Yes, I understand. The man replied. As Daisy Zane loosed one iron ring and went to loosen the other, she said, Lady Alice heard about your capture. Ive been hiding in the rk Manor, and she asked me to save you. Why would Lady Alice save me? Im just carrying out orders. After unlocking the chains, Daisy Zane helped him stand up: Can you walk? Yes. Daisy Zane helped him out of the confinement room and saw that the people on the opposite side were looking at her expectantly, some quietly pleading for her to save them. Them Daisy Zane asked. Dont save them, they confessed to everything and they are all traitors. The man said. Daisy Zane gave them a cold nce and then, very resolutely, escorted the man out.. Chapter 206 - 196: Continue Saving People… Chapter 206: Chapter 196: Continue Saving People Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane, with one hand gripped around the mans arm, she supported him as she pulled him to walk outside. The man nced at those people lying on the ground, pulled the dagger out from his forearm, and clutched it in his hand. Daisy Zane caught sight of the dagger and then hit the elevator button. The pair smoothly got out from the 18th Prison, Daisy Zane leading him northward. The man nced at the ones dropped at the entrance, then at the mountain in the north, Are we heading up the mountain? Uh-huh, replied Daisy Zane. We can escape from up the mountain; there will be people outside to pick us up. Youre very familiar with this ce. Ive been undercover here for two years. I am well-acquainted with the rk Manor. Daisy Zane, guiding him to crouch behind a rockery, managed to avoid a night patrol. Usually undercover here, only acting upon orders when necessary. The man looked outside, then followed her, Im surprised you could go undercover in rk Manor. I heard those who can enter here undergo rigorous selection and background checks. For Lady Alice, creating a virtuous identity is very easy. The mans suspicions were somewhat alleviated. Indeed, for them, this was very simple. His own identity, after all, was also fabricated by Alice. Thats how he managed to arrive in the maind sessfully. Even, no one had discovered anything rted to his original identity. Hurry, rks people will discover youve escaped soon. Daisy Zane urged him while they were walking. Okay. Just after the man had responded, the rm at the rk Manor sounded. Hearing the rm, Daisy Zane furrowed her brows and quickened her pace. The man clutched his bleeding arm, trying his best to keep up with her. But after they had covered almost one hundred meters, the steps up the mountain were already faintly visible in the distance. Just then, a squad suddenly appeared from up front. There were at least dozens of them blocking their way. And those who led the squad were there C Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson. The man ground to a halt, ring at them with ruthless eyes. Daisy Zane too, stood still, looking at the two men. Where are you guys going sote at night? Allonzo Hobson started, dragging out his words. Daisy Zane: . This sounds like the opening line of a TV series. Daisy Zane didnt say a word, and neither did the man. So, after a pause, Allonzo Hobson said again, Should you two return to the 18th Prison on your own? Or should I knock you back in there? Daisy Zane still didnt say anything, but the man suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered softly, Their people can all fight really well. I know. Daisy Zane replied in a cold voice, When the chaos starts, you go up the steps towards the mountain. What about you? Dont worry about me. Lady Alices order is to get you out. The man stared deeply at her, wanting to say more, but Daisy Zane had already moved forward to fight them. The first to be hit by her was Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson hadnt even reacted, when he saw her rushing towards him, and without hesitation, she aimed a kick at him. At the split second, Allonzo managed to raise his hands to block but was still kicked back several steps. Hugo rk nced at Allonzo, and then went directly after the man, leaving Allonzo to his own devices Daisy Zanes fight with Allonzo Hobson was without any reservations or intentions to hold back. However, when it came to dealing with the dozens of people behind, it seemed that all parties, Daisy Zane, and the dozens of people, fought rather politely. It seemed very intense, inplete disarray with a grandiose appearance, but in reality, none of them were using their full strength. It looked like they were filming some martial arts action movie. Only on the mans side, Hugo rk was really after him. The man was able to parry a few moves at first, but soon enough, he was on the receiving end of a beating. Hugo rk was like a ruthless machine, his blowsnding one after another without pause. The man was kicked several meters away andy on the ground, unable to get back up. Hugo rk slowly walked over to him, looking down at him from high above. He lifted his foot tond another blow, but Daisy Zane rushed over and blocked it with her leg. Then, Daisy Zane began to fight with him. After a few moves were exchanged, Daisy Zane delivered a spinning kick that caused him to take a few steps back. Using that moment of distraction, she quickly helped the man who was on the ground get up, nning to take him away. But after picking him up, what used to be a two-against-many situation became a disabled man with no fighting power and a person who didnt want to be burdened facing a group of enemies. Allonzo Hobson wiped the sweat off his forehead, groomed his hair, straightened his clothes, and said, Dont waste your energy, you cant escape. You might as well surrender. We can save time, and you can too. Its a win-win, isnt it? Daisy Zane finally countered with, Whether we can get out or not, we wont know until we try. Overestimating yourselves. After saying these four words, Allonzo Hobson led his men in another assault. Daisy Zane had one hand supporting the man and the other hand was spent battling the enemies. The man recognized early, she was very strong. Not only was she fast and fierce, but her stamina was incredible. She would be capable of several more rounds against opponents of this scale. If she didnt have to carry him, she would definitely be able to escape. Please leave, do not carry my burden, the man hesitated and said. My mission is to get you out, replied Daisy Zane. She quickly cleared a path through the crowd and immediately led him towards the stairs up the mountain. The men behind them were about to catch up. But then, several shots were fired from up the mountain. The marksmanship was urate,nding exactly behind Daisy Zane and in front of the group. Seeing the bullets hit the ground and spark, the group immediately took cover. Daisy Zane also quickened her pace with the man, saying, They are our backup. Good. The man lit up with some hope, but this hope was short-lived. A bullet hit his back, spraying blood that stained Daisy Zanes clothes and face. Daisy Zane blinked gently, while the mans eyes widened as he fell to his knees on the ground. Daisy Zane was forced to hunch over, she quickly pulled him behind a trash can. Allonzo Hobson and his men tried to move forward but shots from the mountain forced them to retreat and a stalemate urred. Can you still walk? Daisy Zane asked calmly, like a ruthless robot. It was because of this, the man firmly believed that Daisy Zane was with Alice Eugene. I cant, the man replied weakly, You cant escape with me. I must get you out, Daisy Zane was like a killer who only saw the mission and disregarded their own life. Listen to me, Alice Eugene wanted you to get me out because she was afraid that if I stayed inside for too long, I might reveal Boss Kirstens address. Daisy Zane looked at him. Andtheres a report that was just delivered to me. I havent gotten it yet, the man continued, I was supposed to finish Henry rks task. Then, get the report and deliver it to my contact. Daisy Zanes expression remained unchanged. She paused and then said, I heard they hypnotized you. Yes, the mans breath became lighter and shorter. Daisy Zanes eyes were filled with anger and resentment. The man breathed slowly, Dont worry, I didnt tell them Big Boss Kirstens address. Hes in M Continent, Koymoon Ind.. Chapter 207 - 197: Rescue Failure? Chapter 207: Chapter 197: Rescue Failure? Trantor: 549690339 The two hid behind a trash can, listening to the movements. The people behind them kept trying to rush over, but they were repelled by the sniper on the mountain. The stalemate continued, with gunshots constantly ringing in their ears. There were also asional shouts from Allonzo Hobson. Daisy Zane looked at the man in front of her and said, Boss Kirsten is no longer on the ind in M Continent; he has already moved somewhere else. The man was gasping for breath, and he didnt show any special reaction to Daisy Zanes words, If hes not there, then its about the report in my hand. Seeing his reaction, Daisy Zane believed the address was probably urate. She asked again, Where is the report? F F Continent, F Continent Tim, Tim The man couldnt finish his words and closed his eyes. Daisy Zane frowned and raised her hand to touch his carotid artery. Then she squatted down and stared at him for a while before taking her cellphone out and sending a message in a four-person group chat. [Its done.] Two secondster, the gunfire nearby ceased. Allonzo Hobson was the first to rush over, Brook Sister, are you okay? Daisy Zane stood up, removed her mask, wiped the blood from the corner of her eyes with the mask, and shook her head. Hugo rk bent down to check the mans carotid artery, then stood up and said, Its my fault; my shot was off. He lost his bnce in that instant and swayed his body. Daisy Zane scanned the crowd, Where is Harton rk? Hes setting up the gun for you on the mountain, Allonzo Hobson said helplessly, He insisted on being on your team and then went up the mountain. Daisy Zane looked up at the mountain. Harton rk was already standing on the mountain. With one knee bent on a rock and his hands holding the sniper rifle, he saw Daisy Zanes speechless expression through the scope. Closing one eye, his thin lips curled slightly. Then he put away the rifle and walked down the mountain. Lets find a ce to rest while we wait for Third Uncle, suggested Hugo rk. Alright. Daisy Zane followed them to a loft. They went to the second floor, sat by the window, and brewed a pot of tea. They drank tea, chatted, and enjoyed the night view while waiting for Harton rk. Calming tea, Hugo rk ced it in front of Daisy Zane, It wont make you sleepless. Hmm, it smells good, Daisy Zane replied. Allonzo Hobson casually took a sip and said, Brook Sister, youre awesome. From Hartons courtyard to the 18th Prison, not only are you fast, but no one on patrol discovered you. Daisy Zane looked up at him and then exposed his lie without hesitation, You lost track. Allonzo Hobsons mouth twitched: In the afternoon, at the gazebo, Daisy Zane proposed this method to them. She would pretend to be someone from Edward Kirsten who was hiding in the rk Manor and try to get the information from the man. Initially, Harton rk was reluctant to agree, but he realized that even if he didnt, Daisy Zane would act on her own anyway. If the people from the rk Manor didnt cooperate and only treated her as an enemy, she would be more likely to get hurt; it was better to agree and have everyone from the rk Manor prepare and work together. So the four of them discussed for more than an hour in the gazebo. Harton rk told her the generalyout and route of the rk Manor, and the four of them practiced their cooperation. After going back in the afternoon, Daisy Zane even drew a tattoo on paper and had Harton rk help her paint it on her arm. However,ter on, Daisy Zane impulsively proposed apetition with the other three. The four of them would start at the same time from Harton rks courtyard, and whoever reached the 18th Prison first without being discovered by anyone on patrol would win. At exactly midnight, Daisy Zane set out by herself, apanied by the three men. Of course, the three men were big targets, with a greater chance of being discovered. However, none of them were discovered, but Alonzo Hobson fell behind along the way. Kevin rk had to admit that he could barely keep up with his Third Uncle. Barely, he and Arthur North along with Daisy arrived at the entrance of the 18th Prison almost at the same time. And he saw Daisy Zane take care of six people at the entrance within a minute with his own eyes. It was only after she entered the 18th Prison that Alonzo Hobson arrived. Alonzo Hobson then leaned against a tree, gasping for air while looking at the tablet in Kevin rks hand. Later, the three men, in the dark, held a tablet and watched the surveince footage of the 18th Prison. They watched Daisy Zanes way of dealing with the people inside, how she hacked the smart lock, and how she cked out the CCTV camera they were watching. The three grown men stood there dumbfounded in the darkness. After a few seconds of surprise, they silently switched to another surveince camera to keep watching. In order to make it more realistic, the people in the 18th Prison didnt greet each other, yet Daisy managed to bring the person out in such a short time without triggering any rms inside. Kevin rk could not get over how formidable this woman was for a long time. At first he didnt believe his dads words that he couldnt beat her. He thought his dad was exaggerating to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor outside and didnt want to use his real strength on a girl. After all, Kevin rk had seen pictures of Daisy Zane on the Inte, with her slender arms, slim legs, and slim waist. There was no way his dad could not beat her. Now it seems his dad was being conservative with his words. Brook Sister Alonzo Hobson sped his hands together, I surrenderpletely, from now on I will follow you. Daisy Zane gently hooked her thin lips and said, Mmm, I will cover you. With Brook Sisters words, I feel relieved. Cover me too. Arthur Norths voice came from the staircase. All three looked over, and after a few sounds of leather shoes stepping on wooden nks, Arthur Norths face appeared in their sights. With beautifully painted eyebrows and eyes, bright red lips, bewitchingly and enchanting. Perhaps because he came over in a hurry, he was slightly panting, his forehead beading with sweat, his hair ends a little damp. Arthur North seemed not to see the other two people, his eyes fell directly on Daisy Zanes body, walked up to her, gently smiled and said, I want to enjoy the pleasure of living off a woman. Alonzo Hobson: Kevin rk picked up a teacup and took a sip, looking away, not wanting to see the people in front of him. Daisy Zane looked at him for two seconds, then moved her gaze away, picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, Stop acting like a demon, sit down and lets talk about serious matters. Ok. Arthur North chuckled, sat next to her, and then poured himself a cup of tea. Kevin rk took another sip of tea, his eyes still fixed outside. He thought to himself, besides his grandmother, this person in front of him was the only one who dared to speak to his Third Uncle like that and not be retaliated against. Daisy Zane took out several sheets of paper from a small drawer under the tea table and handed them to Arthur North. Arthur North took them, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked, Did they mention the address? M Continent, Koymoon Ind. Daisy Zane said calmly, I tried probing, they didnt seem to be lying. It was simpler than Daisy Zane had imagined. She had prepared a pile of rhetoric to use afterwards, but it turned out to be unnecessary. Koymoon Ind? Arthur North thought for a moment, A private ind? It should be. Daisy Zane paused, then continued, Besides, they said they had a important report in their hands. They only mentioned it was in F Continent, but they didnt give a specific location. Huh? They hung up. Arthur North: Chapter 208 - 198: Third Brother… Chapter 208: Chapter 198: Third Brother Trantor: 549690339 The night wind was slightly cool, and the fragrance of tea filled the air. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane and thought before saying: Since the files are important, they must be looking for them. Let Ryan Easton keep an eye on the F Continent. Hugo rk nced at Kevin. His Third Uncle actually told her about Ryan Easton. Yes, Daisy Zane said, ording to him, this report should be handed over to them in the same way as 319. Someone gives it to him, and then he passes it on to his superiors. Edward Kirsten is too cautious. Almost all of the reports he uses are paper-based, and there wont be any electronic versions, Kevin said. Moreover, when something reaches his hands or he passes it on, it goes through multipleyers of people. This way, even if oneyer is discovered, it wont pose a direct threat to him. Otherwise, do you think he can withstand my hacking? Daisy Zane said indifferently. Upon hearing her words, Kevin smiled faintly: Thats true. Brook Sister, are you this amazing? Have you ever tried hacking Celestial Pivots defense system? Xavier Dominic suddenly said. I think Brook Sister can definitely break through. That Nathan Ninevaras system would be trash if it were up to Brook Sister. Daisy Zane: words. She didnt know whether to be happy or angry about his Brook Sister, you want to give it a try? Xavier Dominic said excitedly. Scare that money-loving Holt Lawrence, make the rm ring throughout the Celestial Pivot tower building. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, picked up her teacup with her slender fingers, and took a sip of tea. She casually said: Too simple, no challenge. And Im afraid Holt Lawrence would cry. Hugo rk: Xavier Dominics mouth twitched twice. This was beyond arrogance; it was pure contempt. Seeing her disdainful look, Kevin smiled again: I will arrange for someone to go to Koymoon Ind. Mmm, Daisy Zane replied. Lets go, time to sleep. Mmm. Xavier Dominic watched Kevin and Daisy Zane hold hands and walk downstairs. Then he looked at Hugo rk and mimicked Kevins tone, patting him on the shoulder: Lets go, time to sleep. Hugo rk nced at him, then at his shoulder that was patted. He said disdainfully: Get away from me. Xavier Dominic: Weirdo. The next day, Daisy Zane woke up before seven oclock. When she finished washing and rinsing and came out of the restroom, Kevin was just entering with clothes in his hands. Seeing that she had already washed up, he looked surprised and softly said, Why did you wake up so early? I have a meeting with Felix Baker. Daisy Zane nced at the clothes in his hand. Felix Baker Kevin repeated the two words. Yes, Felix Baker. Daisy Zane repeated with him. Kevin raised an eyebrow, afraid of being scolded, and didnt say anything more. He handed her the clothes: Can you have breakfast before leaving? Mmm. Mmm. Kevin walked up to her and kissed her forehead, then tousled her hair, Change your clothes, and Ill wait for you downstairs. After having breakfast together, Daisy Zane was ready to leave. Kevin saw her off and led her down a different path. At this time, the cool morning air still lingered, and the warmth of the sunlight had not yet arrived. Daisy Zane walked a few steps along the Lotus Pond, and then scared away a goldfish that had just swum up. As she watched the goldfish disappear with a swish of its tail, a faint smile appeared on her face: Its easy to get lost in your home. Mmm, Xavier Dominic often got lost here when he was a child, unable to find his way. Kevin said with a smile. Daisy Zane smiled, bent down to flick a lotus leaf, and scared away two fish beneath the leaf. Seeing her like this, Kevin rkughed and said, You can catch a few and keep them. Daisy flicked a dewdrop on a lotus flower and replied, They wont survive. You can have Wilton Edwards take care of them, Kevin suggested. Tomorrow, Ill have someone send the fish and everything to the vi, and tell Wilton how to raise them. Daisy indeed liked some animals, such as cats, dogs, tigers, and wolves. Fish watching them swim around did cheer her up. However, she was always too busy and didnt have time to take responsibility for them. As for letting Wilton raise them She had never thought about it. At least untilst year, she seldom saw Wilton and Charles Amos. Her purpose in life was to avenge Daisy and to perish together with Edward Kirsten. So she always kept her distance from Charles and Wilton, preparing early for their eventual separation, forcing them and Charles to adapt beforehand. But things had changed since Kevins appearance. Not only did it change her mood, but it even changed her thoughts. Even if she ends up dying in the end, she had spent a good time with Charles and Wilton. She could teach Charles to ept death and face it calmly, rather than causing him psychological harm and bing a lifelong burden because she was never by his side. Also she has a lover. At this thought, Daisy smiled and said, Okay, send some cheap, easy-to-raise ones. Great Actually, I think digging a pond in front of the vi would be a good idea, Kevin said. We can transnt some lotus flowers there. Daisy nced at him, thinking he might be addicted to digging lotus ponds: Forget it, theres ake in the backyard. Charles almost fell into it. If we add another pond, hell undoubtedly fall from the backyard into the front yard. Kevin lowered his head andughed. What are youughing at? Suddenly I remembered what Charles looks like when hes angry, Kevin said. If he hears you teasing him like this, he will definitely get angry. Though hes young, his temper isnt small, Daisy said. Nothing a good beating cant solve. So being a loving father will be my important duty in the future. Daisy nced at him and said, Hmm the dream is quite beautiful. The two spoke leisurely and slowly as they walked to the front yard. Daisy didnt n to stay and was about to leave directly. But just as they walked less than five meters in the front yard. There was a noise at the entrance. They both stopped and looked at the shadow screen at the entrance. Soon, a beautiful woman with a long, straight ck hair, willowy eyes, red lips, and a slender waist, carrying things in both hands, came around the screen and walked towards them. Even dressed in a simple outfit, her charm and sexiness were not hidden. Daisy had seen her before, in the restroom of Doomsday Hotel. This woman seemed to be very close to Kevins mother, who called her ra Mitchell. Upon seeing the two together, ra stopped for a moment, her expression somewhat surprised. But she soon recovered her polite smile and briskly walked over to them. Third Brother, youre home, she said.. Chapter 209 - 199: I Don’t Quite Understand You… Chapter 209: Chapter 199: I Dont Quite Understand You Trantor: 549690339 Bonnie Maxwells Third Brother! called out with not only affection but also a hint of ambiguity that anyone with ears could detect. At first, Kevin rk hadnt thought much about seeing her. However, after she called him Third Brother, especially when Daisy Zane nced at her, Kevin imagined himself picking a color for a washing board. A curious smile appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes. Kevin licked his lips, swallowed and said, I Third Brother. Bonnie approached the two and called out to him again, You have guests. Daisy withdrew her gaze from Kevin and looked at Bonnie. Upon seeing Daisy, Bonnie was startled, then asked, Have wehave we met somewhere before? Daisy examined her eyes as if she could see right into her heart. She then replied with a detached, faint smile, Perhaps. With a smile, Bonnie insisted, We must have. Otherwise, why would you look so familiar? Daisy smiled politely but didnt respond. Deciding not to talk to Daisy, Bonnie turned to Kevin and said, Third Brother, my father brought back some birds nest from his business trip, and I brought some for Aunt Wayne. Okay, Kevin gently agreed. My parents are not here, so just make yourself at home. Alright. Bonnie responded, You go entertain your guest. Im as familiar with this ce as my own home, so theres no need to worry about me. Upon hearing her words, Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly. Kevins eyes darkened a little, then he turned to Daisy, caressed the top of her head, and said softly, Little Girl, wait for me outside for a while. Daisy looked at him, hesitated for a moment, nodded, nced at Bonnie, and walked outside. Bonnie also turned to look at Daisy. As she faced away from Kevin, her gaze turned sullen, her feelings unconcealed. However, unexpectedly, Daisy stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked back. Their gazes locked across the distance of five or six meters. Bonnie couldnt avoid it, and her sullen expression was exposed. She didnt even have time to hide it. Daisy raised her eyebrows contemptuously, turned around and resumed walking. With a steady pace, neither hurried nor slow, back straight, and an outstanding demeanor. Bonnie quickly withdrew her gaze, hastily adjusted her expression, then turned to Kevin once again. But Kevins line of sight had followed Daisy until she disappeared from view before he turned to Bonnie. A chilling glint appeared in his eyes. He said, Miss Maxwell, its not like we are on such friendly terms as to address each other as brother and sister, right? Bonnies face instantly lost color. She dared not look into Kevins eyes. Im sorry. My dad told me to treat you as an elder brother from now on. So, I just took the liberty and called you Third Brother on my own initiative. Kevin said these words privately to her, treating her gently because she was a girl. He didnt want to embarrass her: Your father and my big brother address each other as brothers, but when you called me Third Brother, your family took quite the liberty. I didnt mean it like that. Miss Maxwell, I hope you understand. My family is on good terms with yours because my brother and your father have a superior-subordinate rtionship, which is why our families are close, Kevin stated in a calm tone. Youre familiar with our household because my mother saved your life back then. You can be considered her half-student, so my mother treats you well. I know. If you know, then dont say things that would cause misunderstandings. Kevin was already trying to control his tone, not being too harsh in consideration of her being a girl. I didnt. Its just that I might be too clumsy with words, and, thats why If you know youre clumsy with words, then speak less. After finishing, Kevin turned around and left. Bonnie was left standing in the same spot. After taking several deep breaths, she managed to suppress the anger in her chest and didnt lose control there. What she didnt expect was that Kevin had actually brought that poor girl, that country bumpkin, back to his home. It seems she needs to speed up her actions. When Kevin rk went out, Daisy Zane had already gotten in the car. She was on the phone with Felix Baker: Im already on the road. Dont you know how congested the traffic in the Imperial Capital is? Michael Jackson sat in front, pursing his lips and not daring to speak. Kevin rk sat beside her, closed the car door, and looked at her. Daisy Zane nced at him and then looked at the pendant hanging in front of the car. It was a ruby peace pendant, very valuable: Almost there, just five or six more traffic lights. Michael Jackson: Felix Baker was still chattering on the other side of the phone, but Daisy Zane didnt want to listen and hung up directly. Seeing her looking at the peace pendant, Kevin rk asked Michael Jackson to take it down. After she hung up, he gave it to her: Werent we supposed to meet at 9:30? Mm, Daisy Zane nced at the time on her cell phone, 8:23, Michael Jackson, go to the Spotlight. Okay. The car started, and Kevin rk asked, Is it about the endorsement? Daisy Zane casually replied, Well discuss it first. Kevin rk didnt think too much about it and then quietly said after a while, Id like to request an exnation. Daisy Zane had just turned on the light on her cell phone and wanted to shine it on the ruby. When she heard him speak, she looked up at him first and then thought about it, Go ahead. Her name is Bonnie Maxwell. Oh, shes a youngdy from the Maxwell Family, Daisy Zane said. Yeah. When she was little, she got sick, and my mom gave her an injection, which saved her life, Kevin rk exined. Afterward, she followed my mom to learn traditional medicine, and my mom became her half-teacher. So she often visits my mother at home. My older brother and her father are both in the military district, so the two families have a good rtionship. Mm, Daisy Zane responded indifferently. Seeing her nd response, Kevin rk felt that he hadnt received the proper care. He couldnt feel Daisy Zanes love for him. He felt even worse: Little girl, arent you jealous? Why would I be jealous? Daisy Zane countered. Kevin rk was taken aback by her question, his handsome face momentarily distorted. His lips even trembled a couple of times: Theres a woman, she, she, shes interested in me. You, you dont have any reaction? Daisy Zane looked at him, scrutinizing him. After a while, she said, But didnt you just stay behind to exin things? I what reaction should I have? Michael Jackson was driving in front, trying hard to keep the corners of his mouth at a horizontal position, not letting them rise. Kevin rk was silent, seemingly stumped by her question. Daisy Zane noticed that he wasnt speaking and continued, You just asked for an exnation. Wasnt it because you were afraid Id be jealous? Seeing his Third Master at a loss for words, Michael Jackson couldnt help but momentarily grin, only to immediately straighten his mouth again when it was caught. Im not so gullible as to fall for her little tricks. Kevin rk: And besides, dont I trust that youre not a troublemaker? Kevin rk: Seeing him unable to speak, Daisy Zane continued to provoke him with onement after another, not intending to let him off the hook: When Im jealous, you worry; when Im not jealous, youre anxious. I At this point, seeing his expression, Daisy Zane couldnt help butugh out loud, her voice changing pitch: I dont quite understand you Kevin rk: She was actually making fun of himself. Andughing so happily.. Chapter 210 - 200: M Continent Chapter 210: Chapter 200: M Continent Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane went to Spotlight to discuss the concept release conference for the past two quarters with Felix Baker. Kevin rk had to go on a business trip, so he couldnt apany her. After dropping her off at Spotlight, he let Michael Jackson stay behind and got into his car to leave. After staying for more than an hour at Spotlight, Daisy Zane went home to check on Charles Amos and Wilton Edwards. Then she bought a ticket to the M Continent. After nearly fourteen hours of flying, the nended at dawn in M Continent, just as light was appearing at the horizon. Outside the airport, James Collins wore sunsses, with green hair, wearing a casual shirt with the top two buttons undone, leaning against the car door and ying with his phone. He looked like an irreverent young master. A few minutester, Daisy Zane came out of the airport. The man sitting in the drivers seat of the car tapped on the ss. James Collins immediately looked towards the airport entrance. Upon seeing Daisy Zanes figure, he immediately straightened his body, his thin lips curving into a smile. Then he ran to Daisy Zane and : Sister! Daisy was wearing athletic clothes and didnt even carry a suitcase. When she saw James Collins, she first looked at his green hair: Sis, long time no see. Did you miss me? Youturned green? James Collins: This is fashion. Looking at his hair, Daisy Zane didnt want to speak. Blessings on his fair face, or else this guy couldve been gone long ago. She would have to spend a few years grooming another one. As she was thinking, a whistle suddenly entered her ears. Daisy retracted her gaze and looked towards the source of the whistle. Right in front of the car where James Collins had been leaning on, stood a beautiful woman. She was dressed all in ck with high heels, exuding cool and sexy vibes. A very standard handsome Western face, deep eye sockets, a high nose, thin lips, and white skin. Her hair was very short, allbed back into a slick back. Two silver earrings adorned her left auricle. Her body was also very good, curves were beautiful, and her ck top was slightly translucent. She was handsome, a wild beauty. This is Logan, whose Chinese name is Liana Butch. Daisy disliked her English name for being too long and gave her a Chinese name. Big Boss, youre a bit partial. Your eyes only see Samuel Gray and not me. Liana Butchs Chinese was very fluent. Daisy raises an eyebrow and took a few steps towards her: Long time no see. Liana Butch came forward to hug Daisy Zane: Indeed, long time no see. Youve got even more beautiful. Mainly, your body has improved. After she finished speaking, her eyes moved down with a particr indication. Daisyughed lightly: I cantpare to you. Whypare with me, I have had surgery. Liana Butch draped an arm over her shoulder and led her towards the car, I heard you have a girlfriend? Daisy nced at her and casually said: If I liked women, you would be my first target. Good taste. Liana Butch leaned into her and squinted her eyes, Isnt it because you know Im wild. I knew it, Boss definitely likes James Collins reached from behind her and covered her mouth: Speak less, dont corrupt my sister. Liana Butch immediately pulled down James Collinss hand and kicked him: Does Boss need me to corrupt him? Who canpare with Boss? Do you have a brain? Sis. You see, she hit me again. James Collinsined. So what if I hit you! So what if I hit you! If I hadnt taken you in when you were young, you would have starved to death, and you wouldnt be standing here talking to me. Daisy watched the two of them, then looked at the passersby. Then she opened the drivers door and said, If you two dont want to drive, then Ill drive. Liana Butch instantly let go of James Collins, and James Collins didnt fight back any further. He squeezed directly from behind Daisy into the car and sat in the drivers seat, grinning and saying, Sis, Ill drive, Ill drive. How dare I bother you. Liana Butch immediately opened the car door at the back: Boss, at the back. Daisy Zane closed the car door and moved to the back seat. The moment the door closed, both James Collins and Liana Butch visibly sighed in relief, looking as if they had preserved their lives. The car drove directly to a manor, an old European-style building, upying a vast area. It was their base in M Continent. Once Daisy Zane got out of the car, she went straight to the living room. As Liana Butch walked beside her, he said: Everything is ready. We will set off at exactly 6 PM and can arrive at Koymoon Ind before 8:15. The ind will be directly surrounded by then. Hmm. Daisy Zane responded. Koymoon Ind is a private ind, guarded very strictly. Liana Butch continued, We only had a quick peek from a distance when a boat passed by. We could see people on the ind. But its hard to say who you need to deal with. Daisy Zane went upstairs without saying a word. Liana Butch followed her and said, M Continent has been quite livelytely. The international police have been chasing Gael Easton. His side is in chaos, and many goods have been snatched by several small powers. This has led these small powers to be increasingly active and arrogant. After I came here, I also took the opportunity to get involved. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow: Less meddling in Gael Eastons affairs. The water behind him is too deep. At least cause less trouble in M Continent. I know. Liana Butch lit a cigarette and said, Its fun. Daisy Zane went upstairs to the third floor. She opened a nearby room and took a nce inside before turning to look at Liana Butch and say, I will take a nap. We will borate on the deployment in the afternoon. Liana Butch leaned against the door with his deep eyes, slightly raised. Shall I sleep with you? If you can beat me, I dont mind. Daisy Zane said, looking at him. Liana Butch shrugged, Hard to please. Daisy Zane gave a smallugh. Liana Butch sighed, Fine, you sleep. Ill go. Daisy Zane slept until noon and then had a meal. In the afternoon, she further borated on the deployment. The attack would take ce from the airspace and sea at the same time. They would set off at 6 PM. Daisy Zane, James Collins, and Liana Butch boarded the same ne. After more than two hours, they arrived in the airspace above Koymoon Ind. From above, Liana Butch observed the terrain of Koymoon Ind gradually be clear. After a few seconds, he looked at Daisy Zane. Wearing a mask, Daisy Zane looked down at the ind, feeling Liana Butchs gaze. She nodded after waiting for two seconds. Liana Butch pressed his earpiece, All units pay attention Report, there is a situation. The voiceing from the earpiece suddenly interrupted Liana Butch. Daisy Zane, who was about to put on her hat, looked up at Liana Butch. Liana Butch furrowed his brows, Go on. Someone beat us to the ind and has already started fighting. Were you discovered? Liana Butch inquired. Yes. The other party shouted at us first and saw that we did not move. They temporarily refrained from attacking. The current elevation of the helicopter did not allow them to see the situation on the ind clearly. Daisy Zane thought for a moment and said, Tell the people on the sea to retreat 200 meters and not to take any action. Make sure no one escapes. Yes. Liana Butch immediately ryed the order. What about us? Not many people knew about the situation on Koymoon Ind. Although not excluding personal enmity, but in case Give me theputer. James Collins immediately handed theputer to Daisy Zane.. Chapter 211 - 201: A Family, All are Family… Chapter 211: Chapter 201: A Family, All are Family Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane hacked Arthur Norths cell phone and located him. Arthur Norths cell phone had a strong defense system, and it took Daisy Zane almost a minute to crack it open. And it was done directly, cracking it violently. Arthur Norths cell phone would immediately raise an rm alert. The position was confirmed, without considering the vertical height distance, the cell phone was only 3-9 kilometers away from her. The person was on the ind. Daisy Zane stared at the location on theputer; her fingertips suddenly started trembling. To avoid being discovered, she directly clenched her fingers. James Collins cleared his throat and asked, Sister, youknow hacking skills Big Bosswhen did you learn hacking and not tell us? Liana Butch asked as well. Daisy Zane heard their voices, blinked her eyshes, shared Arthur Norths location to her own cell phone, synchronized it to her watch, and closed theputer. I am taking ten people down; no one else moves, Daisy Zane said. Yes. Liana Butch immediately selected eight people, and together with her and James Collins, there were exactly ten people. The helicopter descended to a forest on the ind. The original n was for people on the sea surface to attract firepower, and they would sneak down from the forest during the chaos. It was still the same situation now, just that the people attracting firepower were not their own. Ten peoplended smoothly, and Daisy Zane checked the location on her watch. Located very close to the north side, Daisy Zane didnt think much and directly led the team towards Arthur Norths location. What if Arthur North encountered Edward Kirsten?Thinking this way, Daisy Zane sped up. The ten people moved rapidly to the south side. Their position effectively surrounded the people on the ind with Arthur Norths people. People far away used guns, and people close by used daggers. Daisy Zane had a gun in each hand, and every shot hit the target. Not a single bullet was wasted. Moreover, when using a dagger, sometimes her left hand and sometimes her right hand were used. Both hands were very skilled. Half an hourter, they arrived at the back of a vi. Ten people hid behind a rockery and observed the situation. James Collins found a position, set up his sniper rifle, and observed the situation. Daisy Zane looked at the location on her watch and saw that Arthur North had already reached the front of the vi. Big Boss, this vi is roughly in the center. The person you want to deal with is likely inside, Liana Butch said. Daisy Zane thought for a moment, Not necessarily. The ind is quiterge. They may not be here. But as we moved from the north side, theres only one vi, Liana Butchined, What kind of hobby does the owner have here, with all these weird flowers and nts, trees and woods. Daisy Zane did not speak. After a while, James Collins said, Sister, we can make a move. The fighting in the front is fierce, and the defense in the back is weak. Make a move, Daisy Zane did not hesitate and immediately ordered. Nine people dispersed and attacked the vi from the back. James Collins set his rifle on the rockery. The vi was caught in a pincer attack. After about ten minutes, it fell. Daisy Zane directly kicked open the back door of the vi, then pointed her gun forward. People in the front yard also broke in, hearing such a loud noise from the backyard. Those who just entered the vi all pointed their guns at Daisy Zane. Liana Butch and the people behind her also pointed their guns at their opponents. Both sides were in a standoff. The tense atmosphere instantly solidified. Daisy Zane pointed her guns forward, a ssh of blood at the corner of her eyes, giving her indifferent and distant eyes a bloody hue, filled with murderous intent. Were here to catch the people on this ind too, Liana Butchs voice leisurely echoed, Our people on the sea surface have retreated 200 meters. Lets make a deal and cooperate. Not necessary, said the man who took the lead in breaking in, Since the people on the sea surface have retreated, if you know whats good for you, you will leave immediately. Liana Butch sneered, her voice suddenly turning cold: What if I dont. The mans gun aimed directly at Liana Butch: You can try. Liana Butchs deep eyes emitted a coldness. Her voice became even more ruthless: Then you try if you can leave this sea alive. What a big mouth, Allonzo Hobson walked in from outside the door, In all my life, this is the first time Ive heard someone dare to threaten me and want my life in front of my face. As soon as Daisy Zane heard Allonzo Hobsons voice, she looked at the entrance, and then she looked past him and directly at Kevin rk who was behind him. Kevin was wearing all ck clothes, simr to a utility jumpsuit, stylish and loose-fitting, with a belt around his waist highlighting his slender waist and long legs. It was a Kevin rk she had never seen before. Ill offer you two choices, either get the hell out of here, or die die Allonzo Hobsons words were really directed at their imminent demise, dark and ruthless, but suddenly his gaze nced to the side of Liana Butch and his arrogance instantly diminished, his voice getting quieter, thest few words like a mosquito buzzing, die here. What? Die what? Liana Butch asked with great momentum. After ncing at Liana Butch and Daisy Zane, Allonzo Hobson leaned close to Kevin rk and whispered, Arthur, that woman next to the foreigner, her her eyes dont they look like Lucia? As soon as Kevin rk came in, his eyes directly fell on Daisy Zane. After hearing Allonzo Hobsons words, his thin, blood-red lips hooked slightly, and then he walked directly towards Daisy Zane. Hey! What if its not her? Allonzo Hobson muttered quietly, but he couldnt stop Kevin rk and could only follow closely behind. Seeing the people on the other side suddenly walking over, Liana Butchs party instantly went on alert. James Collins changed his position and aimed his sniper rifle, as people walked closer, he moved his scope and aimed his gun muzzle directly at the neers heads, and then he saw Kevins face. He hesitated for a moment, and then rolled his eyes, wondering why he was everywhere. Kevin rk walked directly in front of Daisy Zane and looked at her. Liana Butchs first reaction was that this man was coveting their leaders beauty and wanted to kill him instantly. Little girl, who told you toe here. Daisy Zane didnt speak, her right hand gun moved downward, and at the same time she took a step forward, pressing her gun against Kevin rks heart. Seeing this, Allonzo Hobson directly aimed his gun at Daisy Zanes head. While Liana Butch pointed her gun at Allonzo Hobsons head. Is this the person you said toe to me? Daisy Zane asked coldly while looking into Kevin rks eyes. Sister Lucia! Its really you! Hearing her voice, Allonzo Hobson immediately withdrew his gun. Liana Butch looked at them: Acquainted? Allonzo Hobson pushed the gun aimed at his head down: A family, a family. Liana Butch nced at him and then at Daisy Zane. I didnt feel at ease. I came over personally to take a look, Kevin rk said softly, Worried about me? Daisy Zane didnt say anything, but her expression looked quite fierce. Moreover, she pulled the trigger. Sister Lucia! Allonzo Hobson broke out into a cold sweat with fright. However, the gun only made a slight noise, there were no bullets inside. Kevin rk looked down at the gun. Daisy Zane looked at him in the eye and whispered, The next time you hide something from me, I will fill the gun with live rounds. She knew that the person who arrived was Kevin rk; she knew that when Kevin rk might have encountered Edward Kirsten, she was truly afraid.. Chapter 212 - 202: All Are Memories Chapter 212: Chapter 202: All Are Memories Trantor: 549690339 When Allonzo Hobson realized that there were no bullets in the gun, his legs turned to jelly and he leaned against Liana Butch. Damn it! Damn it! Allonzo Hobson patted his own chest, I was scared to death, I thought you were going to kill your husband. This is not okay to y like this, my poor heart. Liana Butch pushed him away: Get away, dont take advantage of me. Whos taking advantage of you? Allonzo Hobson hugged himself, I should say that you are taking advantage of me. Liana Butch red at him and gave him the middle finger. Allonzo Hobson: In everyones eyes, Daisy Zane was now like a fierce wolf. Cold, fierce, bloodthirsty, covered in blood and anger. But Kevin rk knew that she was worried about him, worried that he would confront Edward Kirsten head-on, worried that something would happen to him. After all, she had lived with Edward for four years and knew his ways and methods. She had also witnessed Edward killing Jack Amos in front of her eyes. Daisy Zane removed the gun, put the gun in her left hand behind her waist, and then loaded the bullet in the gun in her right hand. The sea surface periphery is covered by my people, and the snipers on the rockery in the backyard are James Collins. Daisy Zane loaded the bullets with her head down, Tell your people. Xavier Kevin rk called him. Ill notify them right away. Allonzo Hobson took a few steps back, pressed his earpiece and notified his people. Kevin rk took a handkerchief from his pocket, held Daisy Zanes face, and looked up at her. Seeing him touch her, Liana Butch immediately grabbed his wrist: What are you doing? Kevin rk looked at her and saw the two silver earrings on her ears: Logan? Liana Butch slightly squinted her eyes. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze and said softly, Sister Dorothea, let go. As soon as she heard the word Sister, Liana Butch understood that their big boss did not want to reveal her identity. She smirked, Little sister, introduce this guy. Daisy Zane pulled down Kevin rks hand and looked at Liana Butch, My boyfriend. The smile on Liana Butchs mouth froze, she looked at Kevin rk and then at Daisy Zane, You have actually got a boyfriend! I dont like women, so I have a boyfriend. Daisy Zane looked at her calmly. Liana Butchs lips trembled twice, and she looked at Kevin rk again. Full of scrutiny and exploration. Kevin rk heard something strange in Daisy Zanes words. He hadnt cared at first, his people had only dealt with Logan a few times. There was no real hatred. However, if it was about stealing a wife, then it would be an act of revenge. Kevin rk suddenly smiled, his expression unpredictable: Its my little girls friend. Liana Butch: What does that mean? What does that mean?! Daisy Zane: . After saying that, Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane again and wiped the blood from the corner of her eye with a handkerchief. Daisy Zane closed her eyes. Open your eyes, the blood is getting into your eyes. Daisy Zane opened her eyes. Liana Butch watched from close range as Kevin rk carefully wiped her bosss eyes, and her boss didnt even reject him or p his hand away. Moreover, after Kevin rk wiped her eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her boss on the eye. Hey! What are you doing! How can you take advantage of her! Liana Butch put her arm between the two of them. Daisy Zane: . At this moment, Daisy Zanes earpiece suddenly transmitted James Collins voice: Sister, someone is moving on the third floor. Someone is on the third floor. Kevin rk immediately looked back at the people behind him. Everyone was ready for action. Liana Butchs expression instantly became fierce, she prepared to rush to the third floor: Understood. Daisy Zane loaded her gun and prepared to take action as well. Kevin rk turned around and roughly looked at the people Daisy Zane brought: Let everyone follow you. Okay. Kevin rk pulled out his own gun and said, Action. They brought a lot of people and surrounded the ind. They approached the center of the ind from all directions. Each passing ce would leave people to guard. Before entering the vi, the outside was already tightly wrapped. The entire vi was checked from the periphery. Let alone someone jumping off the building and fleeing, even a slight breeze would be detected. With Kevin rksmand, everyone was orderly, and those guarding the first floor did not move, while the rest rushed to the second floor. A team on the second floor searched each room, and then the rest went to the third floor. Following this pattern, people soon spread out across all five floors. Gunshots rang out shortly after. Capture them alive, Daisy Zane said. Mm-hmm. Five minutester, the gunshots on the upper floors hadnt stopped. Daisy Zane nced at Liana Butch. Liana Butch immediately nodded in understanding. Then Daisy Zane pulled away from the hand Arthur North had been holding all along, and ran upstairs with Liana Butch. Arthur North watched her fleeing figure, his lips pursed, and his brow furrowed, then immediately followed her upstairs as well. Upon observing the situation at the entrance of the staircase on the third floor and confirming the enemys position, Daisy Zane said, There is a hidden door 20 meters to the right. Cover me. Understood. In executing missions, Liana Butch always followed orders unquestioningly, no matter what. Three, two Daisy Zane looked ahead, timing her move, One! Liana Butch fired, but Arthur North ran out before her. Daisy Zane had no choice but to follow him. Arriving at the 20-meter distance, Arthur North quickly used one hand to hold Daisy Zane behind him, then pushed the wall next to him with the other hand. Fortunately, there indeed was a hidden door. Both of them quickly went inside. Daisy Zane held her gun, scanning the area using the corridor light. It was empty. It was a small partition, no more than a dozen square meters. There was nothing inside, seemingly used only for hiding purposes. Arthur North and Daisy Zane exchanged nces, anger flickering in both their eyes. Daisy Zane was only fifty percent sure that the ce had a hidden door. Running over here was a risk. And because Arthur North wasnt sure if the door existed, he had shielded her with his body. However, both of them looked away simultaneously, not wanting to argue at this time. Arthur North checked the situation outside the door. Daisy Zane turned on the rooms light and found a password lock under a floor tile in the right corner, just as she remembered. Arthur North came over to see her input an eight-digit password. It seemed to be a date. Then the wall on the left side made a noise. There was a secret door. Daisy Zane covered the floorboard again, then stood up without looking at Arthur North, and said with downcast eyes, Theyout of this ind is the same as where I lived in Continent A. And this password was the date she first met Edward Kirsten. She had been unconscious for more than two months, and this was the first time she woke up to see Edward Kirsten. June 5, xxxx. Edward Kirsten also treated this day as her birthday, celebrating it for her every year. Arthur North looked at her, clenching his hand at his side, the knuckles turning somewhat white. Daisy Zane didnt look at him and instead pulled open the hidden door on the left-side wall. At the same time, following a burst of rapid gunfire, Allonzo Hobson, Liana Butch, James Collins, and several others also came running over. The cramped space suddenly felt ustrophobic. Wow! Its so small. Theres another secret door inside. James Collins walked over and saw the darkness behind the secret door, unable to see anything. Where does this lead? How long is it? Daisy Zane reached in and turned on the light inside. The light illuminated a narrow passageway, seemingly endless. Without thinking, Arthur North wanted to go inside, but Daisy Zane stopped him: If Edward Kirsten is really here, the only person he wouldnt hurt in this ce is me. Everyone looked at her. Arthur North looked at her for a moment, then gently touched her head with great effort to soften his voice: What if its not Edward Kirsten? No one else knows about this passage. Only him and me. Daisy Zanes voice was cold, as if she was wrapping her usually aloof demeanor with a thickyer of ice. Encasing her warm, beating heart in ice, bit by bit. Here, there were too many memories between her and Edward Kirsten. Memories that belonged solely to her and Edward Kirsten, without any interference from anyone else. Anyone would doubt their rtionship, even suspecting that something had happened between them. But she didnt want to think about any of that. What she needed now was to maintain her rity at all times. Nothing could interfere with her.. Chapter 213 - 203: Lady Enigma Starry Chapter 213: Chapter 203: Lady Enigma Starry Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk lowered his gaze and watched as Daisy Zane closed herself offyer byyer, pushing everyone away. He swallowed lightly, his voice somewhat hoarse, Okay, be careful. After saying that, Kevin rk stepped aside to let Daisy Zane go first. Daisy Zane never looked at Kevin rk again. When he stepped aside, she went straight in. Kevin rk followed closely behind her. Allonzo Hobson, James Collins, and Liana Butch, along with some others who came with them, all entered the passage. The remaining people stayed in the partition room, preparing to attack those on the third floor. The passage was long, narrow, and cramped. The ck walls on both sides visually and spatially suppressed everyone, making it hard to breathe. However, after walking a certain distance, the ck walls suddenly changed. On them were paintings of dancing girls. The girls wore simple, clean clothes, had graceful figures, and danced lightly. Each painting was a different pose, extending forward. Even though the figures in the paintings had no facial features and only had static poses, one could still feel the happiness and liveliness of the girls when they danced. Upon seeing the paintings on the wall, Daisy Zane just nced at them indifferently and didnt look at them again. Kevin rks footsteps didnt stop, but he looked at every painting on both sides. Behind him, the trio of Hobson, Collins, and Butch slowed down and took a close look at the paintings. James Collins whispered, This person in the painting looks so familiar. Liana Butch also whispered, Shut up, dont talk. The group followed the passage to the end, and when there was no more road, Daisy Zane pressed a spot about three inches away from the wall on her right. Then a 10cm square board popped open. It has to be said that the hidden doors in this vi were done very well. Without touching it, one would not be able to see any openings in the wall. Underneath the board was another password lock. Daisy Zane entered a date, which was Edward Kirstens birthday. Afterwards, the door on the right automatically opened. Inside was still pitch ck, but with the lighting from the passage, they could see it was a set of ascending stairs. It was as narrow as the passage. Daisy Zane turned on the light, and with the light on, they could see that the height of the stairs was as tall as two floors. While climbing the stairs, Kevin rk heard a voice in his earpiece. All personnel on the third floor were captured; a total of 36 people, 27 lightly injured, 9 seriously injured, all alive. After this matter was reported, the people guarding the fifth floor gave an update. The area of the fifth floor was the same as the others, but when they reached the fifth floor, there were only three doors. After opening them, there were three rooms. They upied less than a fifth of the entire floor area. But there was no other entrance in the remaining space. It couldnt be that a quarter of the top floor just had concrete poured in it, could it? Kevin rk didnt answer them; it was Allonzo Hobson who told them to stand by in ce. Meanwhile, their group quickly climbed the stairs and reached the top, but there was no more road. This time Daisy Zane didnt press anything; she just raised her foot and kicked the door in front of her open. A loud bang, and the entire door fell off, hitting the ground. Wood chips flew everywhere with another noisy crash. If it werent for the wrong timing, Allonzo Hobson would have apuded this violent kick. Daisy Zane stepped directly on the door and walked out, with Kevin rk closely behind her. As everyone emerged, they saw a room that was nearly 150 square meters in size. The wall opposite them was a full-wall liquid crystal disy screen. The wall on the left was covered with mirrors. The wall on the right had arge ink painting of majestic mountains and flowing water, with distant green hills. There were three small venttion openings at the top. The floor was made of grey rubber material,monly used in dance studios. The entire room was brightly lit, and aside from a few sofas, there was nothing else in the spacious area. Of course, there were now more than twenty men dressed in ck, standing in front of the liquid crystal disy screen across the room. The leader wore a silver mask, revealing only his chin, while the other twenty or so people behind him wore ck masks, covering their entire faces and bodies. They dressed the same way as Alice Eugene and others in Red Cliff Vige. Daisy Zane stared at them, her hands slowly clenching at her sides. Is itEdward Kirsten? Allonzo Hobson whispered. Nobody spoke. However, the person leading the group suddenly took two steps forward. James Collins and Liana Butch immediately aimed their guns at him. But the man only walked two steps forward and stopped, then he removed his mask with one hand while bowing politely with the other hand extended in front of him. He respectfully said, Lady Enigma Starry. The man appeared to be in his early fifties, with sharp facial features, eagle-like eyes, and a knife scar under his left eye, extending from the side of his nose to his temples. It wasnt Edward Kirsten. It was Robert Kirsten, whom Daisy Zane used to call Uncle Skyler. Apparently, Edward Kirsten had informed others of this ce. It seemed that he had intentionally left them here to wait for Daisy Zane. Robert Kirsten bowed, and the twenty or so people behind him also bowed their heads neatly. It wasnt until Robert Kirsten straightened up that the people behind him followed suit. Allonzo Hobson and James Collins were both wide-eyed with surprise, looking at Daisy Zane in disbelief. Was this the enemy putting on such a grand disy and collectively saluting them? Enigma Starry? The look in Kevin rks eyes grew even colder, Enigma Starry the ring on Edward Kirstens index finger. Y, H Lady Enigma Starry, the young master knew you wereing, so he specifically asked me to wait here, Robert Kirsten smiled. Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered slightly. Edward Kirsten knew and let him escape again: Where is he? Im not quite sure of the young masters whereabouts as he has been quite busy recently. So, what are you doing here? Daisy Zane asked him, though she had already guessed Edward Kirstens general intentions. The young master misses thedy very much and has many things he wants to say to her. The first thing Allonzo Hobson thought of when he heard this was to look at Kevin rk. He felt that Kevin rk wanted to tear someone apart right now. But thest time the young master called thedy, he was almost tracked down, Robert Kirsten said with a smile. Its not the best time for him to meet her now, so he asked me to ry some words. Do you not know that staying here is a dead end? Daisy Zane pulled out her dagger. Robert Kirsten looked at the dagger in her hand andughed: First of all, I dont think thedy has the heart to let me die. Secondly even if its a dead end people, who doesnt eventually die? But by staying here, at least I can see Alozon Kirsten before I die, right? Wilton Edwards will not see you. And I wont let him see you. He betrayed the young master of course, he has no face to see us old friends, Robert Kirsten said softly. But the young master said that since he has been taking care of thedy and protecting her all these years, he wont hold him ountable. James Collins expression changed constantly, each time more shocked than thest. Wilton Edwards used to be one of them So, in order to personally convey Edward Kirstens waiver to Wilton Edwards, youre staying here to wait for death. Of course not, Robert Kirsten smiled, then looked at Kevin rk, paused, and said, The young master said that either bring thedy back or kill Kevin rk. We mustplete one of them. Daisy Zane clenched her dagger tightly, her eyes turning even colder. Kevin rk, on the other hand, let out a very faint sneer. Robert Kirsten caught the disdain in Kevin rks eyes but didnt mind, simply smiling and saying, I just learned about the situation outside. There is no possibility of taking thedy back. I guess I underestimated the rk family. So now we only have one mission left. Do you think you can aplish that? Kevin rks voice sounded like a demon, extremely terrifying. All the people here have been trained by me, they are all top assassins, Robert Kirsten gestured with his hand, introducing the works he had created behind him. And me Robert Kirsten paused for a moment, then proudly said, They dont even have to do anything. I alone am more than enough to deal with you.. Chapter 214 - 204: Extremely Satisfying Work Chapter 214: Chapter 204: Extremely Satisfying Work Trantor: 549690339 Although Robert Kirstens words were arrogant, he had the capital to be arrogant. Many people around Edward Kirsten were trained by him, including Alice Eugene. Indeed, they could all be considered top-notch assassins. These people were not very well-known in the world, but their strength was even more significant than some famous ones. But Daisy Zane didnt take them seriously, and it was even more true for Kevin rk. The young master knew that Austin Chaors was captured, and he knew that Kevin rk would find out this location, Robert Kirsten said. The young master appreciates Kevin rk as an opponent. I dont think much of him either, Kevin rk said coldly. After all, a rat that only knows how to hide in corners is despised by anyone. Allonzo Hobson took a light breath, rarely seeing Kevin rk talk like this. For the first time, he heard from his mouth a tone of utter disgust for someone. This was really infuriating. Allonzo Hobson could feel how contemptuous his tone was now, and how miserable the person on the other side would dieter. Robert Kirsten sneered and didnt take his words to heart. He continued, Originally, the young master wanted to nt bombs all over the ind and blow it up when Third Masternded on the ind. But the young master knew that Lady and Third Master were together. If she knew, she would definitelye to the ind as well. Daisy Zane seemed to be numb already, listening to his words without any fluctuations in her heart. For thedys safety, the young master abandoned this n, Robert Kirsten said. Lady, youve been away for so many years, its about time to go home, the young master misses you a lot. Daisy Zane chuckled lightly, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes: Home? Where is home? Kevin rk turned his head to look at her, at the little girl in front of him. It was as if there was a rotten wound on his heart, constantly being eroded by pus, the fresh and tender flesh decaying, making him feel more pain every time. In Edward Kirstens eyes, I am just a very satisfactory work he cultivated, Daisy Zane lightly flicked the thin de of the dagger and said sarcastically, He saved me and kept me just because of this face. The various things he taught me were just the process of creating a satisfactory work. A trace of surprise surfaced in Robert Kirstens eyes: Is this how you think? It is the truth, Daisy Zane said calmly. Anyone would go crazy if the masterpiece they painstakingly cultivated suddenly ran away. The calmer Daisy Zane was, the more distressing it was for others. James Collins eyes turned red directly, and Liana Butchs face turned unusually bad. As for Allonzo Hobson, he felt sorry not only for Daisy Zane but also for Kevin rk. The young master devoted all his energy to you, considering everything for you, and putting you first. When you were ill, he stayed up all night to watch over you, Robert Kirsten said in disbelief. And you think he only sees you as a work? It seems that in your eyes, your master is a flesh-and-blood, emotional person, Daisy Zane said sarcastically. It seemed that her words choked Robert Kirsten, and he didnt make a sound. Daisy Zane didnt waste any more words, turning her wrist with the dagger in her hand, and whispered, Uncle Skyler, lets get started. With a final Uncle Skyler, the past with this man came to an end. After Daisy Zane finished speaking, she took the initiative to move forward. Kevin rk was already ustomed to her sudden actions, so when she finished speaking, he had already started to move, almost at the same time as her. The movements of James Collins and Liana Butch were also swift, followed by Allonzo Hobson, and the dozen or so people who had entered immediately took action. With over 150 square meters of space, there was no restriction on their actions. The closebat abilities of Daisy Zane were substantial, and she had almost no rivals besides losing to Kevin rk. She also liked close-up attacks. Her seemingly slender wrists had surprisingly great strength. And every move was deadly. Robert Kirsten took her seriously after just a brief spar. Daisy Zanes speed was incredibly fast, making it difficult for one to defend. Robert Kirsten blocked her iing dagger and immediately went to defend against her raised knee attack. He managed to defend, but still had to retreat two steps. Taking advantage of this gap, Kevin rk knocked down a person near him and proceeded to move towards Robert. Robert Kirsten couldnt beat Daisy Zane, and certainly not Kevin rk. Kevin rk had a slender waist and long legs, and at first nce looked like a fancy show. But with just a slight exertion of force, his forearms became pumped with muscles, proving him to be a well-trained martial artist. While dealing with Robert Kirsten, Kevin rk dealt with two other so-called top- tier killers. Daisy Zane quickly resolved her opponents and came over swiftly. Under her cooperation with Kevin rk, they took down several assassins, and managed to sh Robert Kirsten five times using their daggers. None of the cuts were fatal, but they severely reduced Robert Kirstensbat power. Kevin rk became ruthless, attacking with uracy. With each punch, palm strike, and kick, he aimed for where it hurt the most, almost making his opponents wish for death. When facing the duo, there was a moment where Robert Kirsten felt as if their techniques and moves were taught by the same person. Liana Butch, as a skilled assassin across various continents, was renowned for her cruelty and ruthlessness, practically killing opponents with each move. And Daisy Zane, being trained by James Collins, was naturally not bad either. Considering they too had a fair number ofrades with strong abilities. It didnt take long for Robert Kirstens team to bepletely taken down. Robert Kirsten was covered in wounds; exhausted, he eventually knelt with one knee on the ground gasping for breath. He tried a few times to stand, but failed. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane stood in front of him, both looking down at him. Gasping for breath, Robert Kirsten watched Kevin rks people handcuff and tie up his team. He also watched them treat the wounds of the injured. After a while, he chuckled lightly, I told Young Master a long time ago that Miss was well-suited for martial arts. But Young Master couldnt bear to see Miss suffer, so he didnt agree. Daisy Zane wiped the blood off her dagger, seemingly not hearing his words. As expected, I wasnt wrong, Robert Kirsten said, I submit. Daisy Zane still ignored him. Kevin rk spoke up, It seems that your mission has failed. Yes, it has, Robert Kirsten looked up at him, Ive only heard that Third Master rk is good at strategizing and ying mind games. I never thought that Third Masters skills would be so good. You guys were just not good enough. Yes, some people, no matter how hard they try, ultimately cannotpare to natural talent. Robert Kirsten lowered his head and said these words before suddenly putting his hand in his pocket. Not knowing what he was nning, Kevin rk was about to step forward to stop him. At that moment, the liquid crystal disy screen several meters away lit up. As the entire disy screen lit up, the room brightened as well. Everyones eyes were drawn to it. They all watched as the image on the screen gradually changed from blurry to clear. On the huge screen, under a peach blossom tree, a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl was dancing. It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom. As the wind blew, petals fell. The girl wore a peach-pink dress with a carefree smile on her face, dancing buoyantly. Chapter 215 - 205: The Former Enigma Chapter 215: Chapter 205: The Former Enigma Trantor: 549690339 At that time, Daisy Zane wasnt as tall as she is now, and her face still had some baby fat. Her beautiful phoenix eyes would curve when she smiled. Her whole body didnt have the sharp aura that she has now;pared to her current self, she seemed like an innocent little bunny. She wore a flower wreath made of peach blossoms on her head, and her ck hair reached her waist. It fluttered lightly as she danced. Even when dancing spontaneously, it was evident that she had a solid foundation in dance. Her grace, posture, and technique were all perfectly interpreted. Soft yet powerful, her dance moves were light and graceful, her body as ethereal as cloud fluff. Her body was so flexible that it seemed boneless. As she spun smoothly, her slender neck drew beautiful lines, and every movement reached the pinnacle of elegance. When she spun in ce, her skirt hem fluttered, and her hair followed suit. A gust of wind passed by the peach blossoms, and petals fell all around. Daisy Zane in the video spun and lifted her hand to catch the petals. The smile on her face was pure and carefree,ing from the depths of her heart. It was a smile that none of the people in front of the screen had ever seen. The picture before their eyes was crystal clear. Kevin rk stared intently at the little girl on the screen, at the little girl who now seemed so different. Little Enigma. A mans voice suddenly came from the screen. It was a low, maic, and pleasant voice. And the tone was very indulgent and tender. However, when it reached Daisy Zanes ears, she only felt disgust. Hearing this voice, Kevin rks eyshes trembled slightly, and a fierce look appeared in the depths of his eyes in an instant. The man in the video did not appear on the screen, but Little Enigma heard his voice and stopped, turning to look at him. As she saw him, the smile on her face grew even deeper. Brother Yabez. Little Enigma ran to him a few steps, Didnt you say youde back in two days? Only the peach blossom tree was left on the screen. There was also the sound of the two peoples conversation. It was still Little Enigmas Daisy Zane, her voice somewhat childish, but very lively and sweet. Unlike now, she was cold and forbidding. I tricked you; I came back secretly to give you a surprise. Edward Kirsten said, Arent you cold? Wearing so little. Not cold. Little Enigma said, What season is it? The peach blossoms are blooming. Put your clothes on in case you catch a cold when you sweat. Alright. Little Enigma put on her clothes. Lets go back. I brought you a gift; take a look. Edward Kirsten said. What gift? If I dont like it, Ill get angry. Little Enigma said fiercely. Edward Kirsten chuckled lightly: Youre so fierce. I brought you a gift, and you still get angry. Yes. Ill get really angry. Fine. Be angry. Edward Kirsten said indulgently, Brother will coax you. Little Enigmaughed, and then a piece of clothing suddenly appeared in the bottom left corner of the screen, but it disappeared after a short while. Brother Yabez, Im recording a video. Little Enigma said, Dont be in the frame. Whats the matter? Cant brother be seen? Cant be in the frame? Im filming peach blossoms; you dont have to be in the frame. Alright, alright. Youre getting harder to serve. Edward Kirstenughed. After a while, his voice rang out again, but it was a bit distant, Little Enigma, your hair is getting a bit long. Time to get it cut. Not long at all, its just you getting itchy fingers again. Enigmas voice grew more distant as she spoke, Dont even think about it, I wont let you cut it. Your skills are terrible, its ugly! Slow down, be careful not to trip. I want to go see the presents! Robert Kirsten was right, Edward Kirsten did treat her very well, spoiling her like the apple of his eye. And she used to really like him. At least before the Mason Davis incident, she really liked her elder brother, treating him as family, a reliable person, and the closest person to her. But, after all, everything was just an illusion, like flowers in a mirror or the moon on water. They were all the tenderness, intimacy, and indulgence that Edward Kirsten showed when facing her. Everyone was silent as they watched the screen, who could have imagined that the Daisy Zane standing before them used to be like that. yful, loves tough, quirky Kevin rk looked at the peach blossom tree on the screen while his hands at his sides, his veins bulging. His face turned pale and his originally crimson thin lips turned even paler due to the constant pain from his heart. How did that man turn such a naive and cheerful little girl into what she is now? Daisy Zane didnt show any emotional fluctuations at all, her coldness reached the extreme, as if she had lost all reaction to everything around her. Suddenly another voice sounded, much louder and deeper than before, with a hint of sinisterughter. Little Enigma. Daisy Zanes eyes blinked gently, watching the unchanging scene before her. Brother really misses you. Damn! James Collins cursed under his breath. I knew youde, so brother prepared a special surprise for you, do you like it? Kevin rk saw Daisy Zanesplexion worsening and pulled out the gun from his waist and aimed it at the screen. However, Daisy Zane raised her hand to lower his arm, stopping him: Dont, let him talk. Kevin rk looked at her. Daisy Zane could sense his gaze, but didnt raise her head, only pressing down on his arm with more force. There were things that Kevin rk should know, and he had the right to know. Kevin rks hand was pressed down, preventing him from firing. So he put away his gun and held Daisy Zanes hand in his. Feeling his warmth, Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didnt move. Edward Kirstens voice continued: Brother misses Little Enigmas smile and also misses her sleeping face. Remember when Brother said, youre well-behaved and quiet when you sleep. Brother must see it every day before he can fall asleep. James Collins couldnt hold back any longer and turned around in ce, wanting to pierce Edward Kirstens throat to see if he could still talk. Allonzo Hobsons skin crawled with goosebumps and his hairs stood on end. Fuck! Why is this man so disgusting and perverted? Is he even human? How could anyone stand such a person by their side? Daisy Zanes fingertips stiffened, trying to pull her hand away. But Kevin rk immediately tightened his grip. He finally understood why this little girl loved to sleep with her head wrapped up. It was all because of him. Brother knows that youre investigating the 319 case, and that you have many doubts. So today, Brother will casually answer two questions for you. Daisy Zanes pupils deepened. Edward Kirstens voice said: Brother has been studying this Thing for many years It can be said that this Thing has been studied since my grandfathers youth, and its already the third generation. Originally, in my grandfathers generation, a more refined elixir than what you see now had already been developed. But some idents happened, the research results were lost, and only some information about the elixir was left. So, with thepletion of only a fifth part of the elixir, my father and I have been conducting research, resulting in todays 319. Unfortunately it still hasnt achieved the effect of the previous version. Even back then, it wasntpletely sessful. Chapter 216 - 206: Instigating Divisions and Provoking Edward Kirsten Chapter 216: Chapter 206: Instigating Divisions and Provoking Edward Kirsten Trantor: 549690339 Edward Kirstens grandfather had been researching it for ages, making the time frame too vast. Moreover, the current 319 didnt achieve the effect it had back then, so what kind of effect did it have at the time, and what kind of reaction would it produce in people? Kevin rk was obviously surprised by what he had just heard. The research conditions and experimental conditions of that era were poor, but with the current level of research, they couldnt reproduce what they had back then. By the way, Enigma, do you know why its called 319? Edward Kirstens voiceughed, Because Enigma wanted to leave her brother, and her brother was very angry. So he used the date of the first time he found her as the name of this medicine. He knew she would definitely hate this stage of the drug. Its a small punishment. Listening to this, Allonzo Hobsons emotions went from shock, anger, and heartache to admiration. He was so full of admiration that he now wanted to bow down to Daisy Zane. If he had lived with such a person for four years, he would have either died or gone insane. He definitely wouldnt be standing here unscathed. Oh, right, theres also Edward Kirsten continued, You guys should be curious about why theres a trading location at Red Cliff Vige. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, listening to what he had to say. Kevin rk nced at her. Edward Kirstenughed and said, Enigma, do you remember Mason Davis? Daisy Zanes hand unconsciously tightened around Kevin rks hand, pressing harder and harder. Enigma must remember. After all, it was you who helped find him for my brother, Edward Kirsten said, Mason Davis, previously called Oliver Constantine, had always been part of myboratory. Buthe betrayed me. He escaped from theboratory and went into hiding with his wife. He made enough money from me and then wanted to leave. Theres no such cheap deal in the world, how could I let that happen and maintain my authority? Howeverl couldnt find him for many years. Thanks to Enigmas hacking skills, she found him within a few minutes. But now my brother regrets it. If he hadnt let Enigma find him, Enigma wouldnt have seen the three corpsester. She wouldnt have been so angry and yelled at her brother, questioning why he killed people. My brother also regrets telling you so much. I thought Enigma would stand by her brother, but I didnt expect her to be so extreme. If I had continued to keep her in the dark and let her remain ignorant, maybe now, we would still be living together. Howeverthe death of Mason Davis and his family of three, Enigma contributed to as well. My little Enigma, her hands arent clean either, and that child was only four years old. Dont listen to his nonsense, Kevin rks voice rang out. Daisy Zane, with her eyes downcast, had no reaction, except for the hand that was being held gradually growing colder. Andthe homeless man in Truro City. Edward Kirsten said, That man used to be part of my fathersboratory, but he too betrayed my father. Although my father is no longer alive, he wasnt very good to me during his lifetime. But as a son, I had to help him kill a traitor, so I used his research and sent him away. So, Enigma, this elixir has been researched by three generations of our family. Its the result of all our efforts. Please, be obedient, and dont investigate it any further. Otherwise, my brother will be very angry, and that is terrible. Its true that my brother is reluctant to hurt you, but you wont forget what happened to Jack Amos, will you? Be a little more obedient, dont be against me at every turn. Otherwisethose people around you, Alozon Kirsten, Jack Kingsley, your friends, including Kevin rk, Ill ughter them one by one! If you dont believe me, you can try. Edward Kirstens voice paused for a moment, and then resumed its eerie and gentle tone: Alright, thats all I wanted to tell you. I really hope I can meet Enigma in person next time instead of using this kind of recording. There was more to say, but Daisy Zane picked up her gun and aimed it at the screen. Bang, bang, bang One after another, each shot striking at everyones heart. It was only when the bullets in the gun were spent that she lowered her hand. The screen emitted smoke, and when the thin smoke dispersed, everyone discovered that each of Daisy Zanes shots had hit the same spot. Daisy Zane understood Edward Kirstens intentions in doing all this. Edward Kirsten knew that she was with Kevin rk. He knew that Austin Chaors had been captured and that with Kevins abilities, he would definitely be able to get the address out of him. Thats why he added more of their shared memories to the originalyout of the ind, especially in this vi C the partition room, the paintings in the corridors, and the dance room, with its videos and recordings. Edward Kirsten wanted to tell everyone who had been here that their rtionship was not simple. He wanted everyone to know that no matter what she was doing now, she had once been involved in shady activities. He also wanted everyone to know that getting close to her meant constant danger and the possibility of losing their lives. The main point was that Kevin rk should see all of this. He wanted to let Kevin rk know about her past and what kind of things the woman he is with now had done before. Kevin rk was such a proud and noble person, always wanting the best of everything. Everyone in the rk family had a clean background. The woman by Kevins side, his future wife, and daughter-inw of the rk family, naturally also had to be clean and pure. Moreover, with Edward Kirsten frequently mentioning Enigma and his family, who wouldnt misunderstand their past rtionship? Edward Kirsten must have anticipated that the noble and proud Third Master rk would stay away from Daisy Zane. He wanted to drive away everyone around Daisy Zane, one by one, leaving her with nowhere to go, forcing her back to his side. Daisy Zane had stayed on the ind until the end with Kevin rk and the others, waiting until all matters were handled, and each location had been checked. Leaving some guards behind, it was only when Kevin nned to return that Daisy decided to leave with her people. You can take all the people back and do whatever you want with them, Daisy Zane never looked up at him, Were leaving first. After saying that, Daisy Zane led her people in the opposite direction. Kevin rk followed her for a few steps but was stopped by James Collins. My sister James Collins paused for a moment, Let her be by herself for a while. She needs to calm down. Kevin rk looked at her receding figure, clenching his fingers. If she calmed down by herself, shed probably leave him behind to save his life once she was calm. But she must be eager to get some sleep now. Her psychological burden was too great, and she needed to rest. So, Kevin rk didnt catch up. He just asked James Collins, Where do you guys stay? Uh James Collins thought for a moment, You can ask my sisterter when you see her. Ive got to go. Kevin rk watched James Collins run off, then his eyes fell on Daisy Zane once more until her shadow, along with her entire group, was about to disappear. He nced at Liana Butchs receding figure. Logan An undisclosed residence The resting ce of the Hundred Demons Pavilion in the M Continent. Chapter 217 - 207: Pure Chat Chapter 217: Chapter 207: Pure Chat Trantor: 549690339 Aside from being colder and quieter than usual, there wasnt much difference in Daisy Zane. On the helicopter, she also responded to a few words that James Collins and Liana Butch said to her. And before getting off the helicopter, she messed up James Collins green hair. James Collins squatted in front of her, letting her mess with his hair. After returning to the manor, Daisy Zane went straight back to her room and slept on the bed. Liana Butch and James Collins stayed on the first floor, watching her go up to the third floor. They didnt return to the sofa until they heard the sound of the door closing. Damn it! Who is that man! Damn it! Im so angry! He dared to bully my sister like that! James Collins got up from the sofa and paced around the living room, Im so angry! Im so angry! Im so angry! Stop swaggering around. Liana Butch nced at him. He bullied my sister, I want to kill him! James Collins gritted his teeth and growled, He bullied my sister andpletely changed her! If he could be killed, the big boss would have done it long ago, and not left it till now, Liana Butch whispered. Weve wasted so much effort tonight, and didnt even see the person. Our big boss, who is such a capable person, has nothing to do for now. It shows how difficult this person is to deal with. Ah!! James Collins groaned and rubbed his hair again. Liana Butch lit a cigarette and watched him pace back and forth expressionlessly. After a while, she said, Little poor thing,e here. What for? Liana Butch spat out a puff of smoke and said, Come here. James Collins went around another circle and sat next to her. He also took a cigarette from her box, lit it, and asked, What for? Whats the deal between the big boss and Harton rk? James Collins didnt expect her to gossip. He was speechless for a while: Just like that. Are they together? Yeah. For how long? James Collins thought about it and said, Its been several months. Liana Butch spat out another puff of smoke, her expression unreadable behind the thin smoke. Her deep eyes narrowed: Being the daughter-inw of the rk family thats a bit difficult, isnt it? Would my sister be afraid of difficulties? Liana Butch nced at him, put the cigarette in the ashtray, and walked away. James Collins didnt care about her. He sat on the sofa, smoking and muttering angrily, Im so angry, Im so angry Daisy Zane slept from early in the morning until past 10 PM without waking up, and no one dared to disturb her. There was no light in the room, and the thick curtains were drawn, without any lighting in. Past ten oclock, there was suddenly a very gentle sound of footsteps outside the room. In the quiet night, step by step, the more intentional one was to be light, the more eerie, and the more one could attract attention. Daisy Zane, who had been sleeping under the quilt, suddenly opened her eyes as the footsteps slowly approached the room. And then stopped at the entrance of the room. The moment the door opened, Daisy Zane sat up and turned on themp by the bed. Harton rk was standing at the door, looking at the little girl sitting on the bed. Because the light was ring, he covered his eyes with one hand, lowered his head, and his hair was all over the ce. After a while, she looked up at the entrance. When she saw Harton rk, she was not surprised. She had recognized his footsteps just now. However, she was a little surprised. Why did hee here? Why are you here? Because she had just woken up, Daisy Zanes voice was a little hoarse. Harton rk looked at her red lips, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him, I sneaked in here, fought with James Collins outside, and he didnt win. Daisy Zane didnt change her clothes, only removed a coat and threw it on the ground. Now she was wearing a ck vest on her upper body. The pants she wore were the same ones she wore outside. She watched Harton rk walk to her bedside, paused and said, Then he wouldnt be able to tell you which room Im in. No matter how tight the security was at the manor, with Arthur Norths skills, it was a piece of cake for him to sneak in silently. I transferred one billion dors to him. Arthur North leaned forward, his eyes level with hers. He sold your location to me. Daisy Zane: . You should reconsider this little brother of yours. He took the money and sold you out. If he didnt take the money and not sell me, were you nning to search room by room? I would threaten you using him. Arthur North tested her forehead temperature with the back of his hand. She had a bit of a fever, burning up again. He whispered, I would point a gun at his head and shout in the living room. If you didnte out, I would kill him. Daisy Zane: Childish. Arthur North smiled, then took a stool from the side and sat down by her bed: Youve been sleeping all day? Mhm. Are you hungry? Daisy Zane looked at him without speaking. Arthur North noticed that she had been staring at him, and her indifferent gaze held a trace of inquiry. He smiled and said, Yesterday, you didnt even spare me a nce. Do you feel youve lost out and want to make up for it now? Daisy Zane: . No worries, you can look as much as you want. I wont charge you. Arthur North joked. Daisy Zane quietly stared at him for a while longer and then asked directly, Why are you here? Arthur North also gazed into her eyes, admiring the tranquility in her beautiful phoenix eyes, as well as the resolute determination there, which could shut others out at any moment. After a while, he stood up straight. Daisy Zanes eyes followed him, and she lifted her head as well. Arthur North unbuttoned his cuffs, lifted the quilt, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed. He stretched out his arms to embrace Daisy Zane andy down next to her, and then he reached over to turn off the bedsidemp. Ever since Arthur North had gone to Daisy Zanes room, James Collins had been watching her room from the courtyard. Although the curtains were drawn, he could vaguely see that the lights were on inside. And just as he was watching, the light suddenly went out. James Collins peach blossom eyes instantly widened, and he ran upstairs with all his might. Wasnt it just a chat? Why did they need to turn off the lights for that? Arthur North was a big liar! He rushed all the way to Daisy Zanes room entrance. His hand was about to knock on the door, but he withdrew it just in time. He was already a grown-up, and his sister should be getting married as well. Some things some brother-inw he should have, and it was time for him to try to ept them. They were all adults now. It took James Collins some time to convince himself, then he cursed Arthur North as an old beast while pointing at the door, and left with a grim face. In the room, Daisy Zane had her arm resting on Arthur Norths neck, leaning against him. In the darkness, both of them listened to the footsteps outside. When the person left, Daisy Zane asked, What are you doing? Arthur North chuckled, quite pleasantly, If I really wanted to do something, do you think you have the ability to resist? Daisy Zane clenched her hand with a sound. This man in front of her was invincible, unbeatable, unbeatable But the oue of anything wasnt set in stone, you only know once youve tried. You could give it a try. Seeing her determination, Arthur North gripped her hand and whispered, I was just joking. Even if I had the desire, I wouldnt have the guts. Lets just hug for a bit. Do you have to hug here? Daisy Zane rxed her grip slightly. Mhm. Sensing her loosening grip, Arthur North took the opportunity to remove her arm, held her hand, and kissed it gently. The legendary chatting under a quilt. Daisy Zane: . Chapter 218 - 208: First Love Chapter 218: Chapter 208: First Love Trantor: 549690339 In the darkness, inside the quiet room. The two of themy facing each other. Kevins hand stretched over from under Daisys neck, letting her rest on it. His other arm was ced on her back, touching her soft hair. As theyy quietly for a while, Kevin suddenly asked in a low voice, Are you thinking about how to not want me? The voice was right in her ear, and Daisy could hear a trace of grievance. She looked up at him. Though the room was very dark, she could still faintly see Kevins eyebrows and eyes. Does this silence mean you think I came here today to break up? Kevin said. Daisy still didnt say anything, almost as if she agreed. Seeing her acquiescent response, Kevin gritted his teeth, and after a while, he clenched his teeth and said, I came here to settle the score. Settle what? Whatever I remember, Ill settle. Kevin eximed angrily. Daisy: Do you think Id hear Edward Kirsten babble a few words and thene over here to break up? Kevin forced his voice to soften somewhat, then pinched her face, Little girl, you really know how to annoy someone. He wasnt exactly babbling. Daisy said calmly. Kevin was silent for a moment, and then couldnt help but feel heartache. He hugged Daisy closer and kissed the top of her head: Then tell me, which parts of what he said were not nonsense? Most of it was true? What about the small part? Daisy thought for a moment and decided to clear things up. In a t voice, she said, This is my first love affair. Kevin seemed to be stunned for a moment, then heughed, Oh, Im your first love. Suddenly, Daisy felt that this mans mood changed too quickly, and even had reason to suspect that he had learned the art of face-changing in Peking opera at home. Little girl, I like you, and Ill get to know you little by little. My eyes can see, I only want to believe what I see for myself. I know what kind of person you are, and I dont need anyone else to tell me. Daisy quietly rested on his arm, and because they were closer, she could even hear his heartbeat. Do I seem like a jerk? I say I like you and I like you, and then I dont like you after hearing a few words from others. Daisy still didnt say anything. Kevins hand gently patted her back: Dont think too much. Its easy to be Mrs. rk. You dont have to do anything, dont need a great ability, high education, or a good family background. You just need to be yourself, and youre the best. I like it when my little girl is happy. After he finished speaking, Daisy suddenly leaned against him and buried her face in his shoulder. Kevin hugged her a little tighter, touching her head but not saying anything more. After a while, Daisy said, I was the one who found Mason Daviss address. Back then, Edward Kirsten lied to her, saying that Mason had cheated him and taken something very important from him. Thats why she helped him. She didnt expect that a few dayster, she would see the corpses of their family of three. Edward Kirsten kept everything from her and didnt let her know anything. That day, Alice Eugene suddenly came back and said he would take her to a ce. She didnt think much about it and just went along with him. That was the first time she found out that there was a basement where she lived. There was a strong smell of blood downstairs, and Alice took her all the way. She first saw Edward Kirsten, and then she saw the corpses of Mason Davis and his family. She remembered it very clearly. It was the first time she saw such a ferocious and twisted expression on Edward Kirstens face. It was also the first time she saw Edward Kirsten lose his temper and hit someone. He pped Alice Eugene very hard, questioning why he had brought her there. Its not your fault. Mason Davis was never innocent. Kevin rk didnt use aforting tone, he was just stating a fact, He must have known that thing was harmful. But after he made enough money, he didnt want to continue doing it, so he ran away. Buthis wife and child Daisy Zane personally investigated their family of threes information, The child was only four years old. Because her face was buried in his shoulder, Daisy Zanes voice was somewhat muffled. But there was still no emotional fluctuation. t and cold. As if she was describing something that had nothing to do with herself. Kevin understood why her hacking skills were so good, but she never used them. She felt guilty. You dont need to take on the sins of others, said Kevin. Daisy Zane was silent. Kevin remained silent for a while before saying, Tell me, what happened after that? After that For a long time, she ignored Edward Kirsten. At first, Edward would try to coax her nicely. But as time went on, his malicious nature was exposed. He became more and more irritable because she ignored him and rejected him. Unable to ept his twisted values, his crazed reasoning, and his so-called truth in his heart. The more she refused, the harder Edward tried to force his ideas on her, until she became highly resistant. How could Edward ept her turning away from him? So he kept provoking her, brainwashing her. If she couldnt ept it, he would forcibly make her just like him. So he was like a madman, telling her every day that the death of the Davis family was her fault. He told her that even though she despised him, she was already that kind of person. And threatened her with the people around her. Telling her that the Davis family tragedy was just the beginning, and she would use her hacking skills to kill even more people in the future. And if she didnt obey, he would kill someone who frequently took care of her. So Daisy Zane cut off her own ten fingers. Edward was frightened at that time, and he didnt dare to provoke her for a long time afterward. The two entered a standoff period. Later, taking advantage of Edwards reluctance to visit her frequently, Daisy Zane nned an escape. She didnt tell Kevin much about it, but simply said, I tried to escape once, Jack Amos helped me. But it wasnt sessful. Kevin realized why Edward wanted to kill Jack Amos. I was only away for 22 hours before I got caught and taken back, Daisy Zane said, Its because of this that I got Jack Amos killed. Twenty-two hours Kevin remembered she had said that Jack had been stabbed 22 times. One knife per hour, how could his little girl have endured that. Kevin held her a little tighter, his voice slightly hoarse, Little girl, the sin is Edwards, you shouldnt feel so guilty for his sins. Daisy Zanes fingertips circled his front buttons, listening to him quietly. Also, there is something that wasnt done right, Kevin said, Although it was your hacker technology that found Mason Davis and made you feel that hacking wasnt a good thing for you. But your skills can have other positive uses, like saving Olivia Lane. Theres no need to give up a valuable skill just because of one bad experience. Daisy Zane listened to his words, remained silent for a moment, and said softly, You sound like someone I know. Who? Daisy Zane lifted her head from his shoulder, resting it back on his arm, and said, Someone who looks a lot like Anisa Cooper. So. do I resemble Anisa Cooper? Chapter 219 - 209: Strike and Retaliation Chapter 219: Chapter 209: Strike and Retaliation Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane found that not only did Kevin rk change his face quickly, his thoughts were also quite leapfrogging. Anisa Cooper looks much more friendly than you. Daisy Zane said. Do I look that bad? Kevin rk lowered his head and touched Daisys forehead with his own. Mmhmm, Daisy Zane spokezily, and you look like a jerk, too. You Kevin rk paused, how can you say that about your boyfriend? My boyfriend, I say whatever I want. Daisy Zane raised her hand to scratch his chin, Do you have a problem with that? I dont. Daisy Zane chuckled softly, reattaching the button she had just untied from his fingertip. Kevin rk nced down, daring not to talk back, and changed the subject earnestly, Little girl, I told you, I wont restrict your actions. But you also promised me safety first. Remember? Daisy Zane understood that he was talking about her decision to charge ahead without knowing if there were any partition rooms in the corridor. Mmhmm. Since you remember, you must obey, okay? Kevin rks voice grew stern, No matter if your task ispleted or not. Safety first, you hear me? Kevin rk knew his boundaries when he had spoken to her about these things before they were together. He remembered very clearly that Daisy Zane said she would not risk her life before her task waspleted. He hadnt said anything back then. But now that they were together, he could say these things. Mmhmm. Daisy Zane responded softly. In the past, nobody dared to disobey her orders. Logan and the others could only obey. But now it was different; there was Kevin rk. Even if she did not consider her own well-being, betting on it, she could not ignore Kevin rk. She couldnt ignore that Kevin rk used his own body to bear the other fifty percent of uncertainty. Seeing her agree, Kevin rks expression instantly softened, and his voice followed suit, The renowned Nameless of the Darknight Alliance made a promise, you must keep it. Daisy Zane: . What a flowerynguage. Kevin rkughed and, touching her hair, asked, Are you hungry? A little. Do you want to go out to eat or should I make something? Is there any good food outside? Kevin rk thought for a moment, I know a snack street. Ill change my clothes. Kevin rk hooked the arm that they had beenying on, hugged her into his chest, and then kissed her lightly on the lips, Okay, Ill wait for you outside. As he was about to get up, Daisy Zane suddenly grabbed his cor. Kevin rk was caught off guard and pulled back onto the bed by her. Before he could react, Daisy Zanes lips touched his. Perhaps because of the fever, Daisy Zanes lips were somewhat hot. Soft and warm, the heat traveled from their lips to their hearts. The restraint in Kevin rks eyes was instantly shattered, and desire came flooding out like a tumultuous wave. He ced one hand on the back of Daisy Zanes head and the other on her waist, ready to push her down on the bed. But just as he was about to flip her over. Daisy Zane grabbed his hand on her waist and forcefully pulled it away. Then she swiftly got off the bed. The desire overflowing from Kevin rks eyes was thicker than the boundless darkness of night. He looked at his now empty hands, his chest heaving even more. He turned to look at Daisy Zane and saw her with her clothes, standing by the restroom door with the light on. Kevin rk inhaled softly, a trace of ferocity crossing the depths of his eyes. He immediately got up to follow her and squeezed into the restroom before Daisy Zane could close the door. Daisy Zane looked at him, her eyes twitching when she saw his almost ravenous expression. You She couldnt finish her sentence before Kevin rk lifted her onto the washbasin and then pinched her chin, kissing her. Kevin rk stood between her legs, his hands on her waist bing more forceful, and the kiss growing deeper. The surrounding air seemed to be damp and entwined with the kiss. The kiss was gentle yet assertive. In their protection, the assertive approach little by little enveloped and possessed the other person, leading to their downfall. Daisy Zanes eyshes quivered lightly, her hand gripping his cor tightly. Because of the force, her muscles bulged, drawing beautiful muscle lines on her fair arms. Powerful without losing the sense of beauty Finally, when thest breath of air in her lungs was drained, Kevin rk mercifully released her and gave her a few more kisses at the corner of her lips. Daisy Zane gasped lightly, looking at him coldly. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were soaked in a thinyer of mist, significantly weakening her usual cold aura. Kevin rks hands slipped out of her clothes, and he lowered his head to kiss her eyes, then looked at her in a pleasing manner. Daisy Zane exhaled softly: What are you doing? Attacking? Retaliating? Kevin rks eyes were smiling, and he candidly replied: Mhm, attacking, retaliating. Mainly, I just wanted to take advantage. Daisy Zane: . Seeing her not speaking, Kevin rk gave her shoulder another peck on the right. Daisy Zanes body trembled involuntarily. Kevin rkughed and then kissed her corbones scar: Taking advantage two times more. You talk too much. Daisy Zane looked down at the scar in his palm, which had faded a lot. Kevin rk pinched her reddened earlobe and said, Change your clothes. Ill leave now. After saying that, he left. Daisy Zane sat on the washbasin. After two seconds, she raised her hand to touch her shoulder, then got off the washbasin, opened the door, and went out. Kevin rk was putting on his shoes beside the bed. Daisy Zane leaned against the restroom wall and said leisurely, Third Master, there are many empty rooms on the third floor. Huh? Kevin rk looked at her. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, Just pick one and take care of it. Kevin rks expression darkened. Daisy Zanes smile was a bit mischievous, and she spoke slowly, Ill give you ten minutes. Her voice was calm, but it was clear that she emphasized the ten minutes. Kevin rk gritted his teeth and walked towards her. Seeing himing, Daisy Zane left him with a provocative look. She immediately returned to the restroom and locked the door from inside. Kevin rk stopped in his tracks, listening to the sound of the lock, and pressed his brow. He should have known that this little girl wouldnt just suffer without fighting back. This was true retaliation, provocation, and a personal attack. After Daisy Zane had changed her clothes, the two went out directly. As they were going out, both Liana Butch and James Collins were nowhere to be found. They did bump into a few night patrollers, but they just stopped in their tracks and nodded to Daisy Zane without saying a word. Kevin rks car was outside, and the two went out of the manor house. After getting in the car, Kevin rk said, How did you meet Logan? Daisy Zane buckled her seat belt and replied, We had a fight, and she lost to me. Kevin rk lifted the corner of his mouth, After dinner, go stay at my ce. Let James Collinse too. Huh? This ce is the resting ce for the Hundred Demons Pavilion in M Continent. Daisy Zane looked at him. Hundred Demons Pavilion has too many enemies, and this ce could be attacked at any time, It cant be attacked. Daisy Zane said indifferently. Indeed, it cant be attacked. Kevin rk looked at the road ahead, But the people of the Hundred Demons Pavilion would make the manor house entrance full of corpses. Its too bloody and not quiet, not suitable for living.. Chapter 220 - 210: Hundred Demons Pavilion Chapter 220: Chapter 210: Hundred Demons Pavilion Trantor: 549690339 At first, Hundred Demons Pavilion was just a small gang. What set it apart from many other simr small gangs was a pair of siblings who were highly skilled in fighting and quite ruthless. These siblings were none other than ck and Logan, who are now in the Hundred Demons Pavilion. There were many small gangs, but the top ones were always a select few. The siblings, Luke and Logan, had a strong momentum at the time and were very capable in leading their gang. From the age of 15 or 16, the siblings relied on each other and slowly struggled for over ten years Regardless of what kind of powers approached them, they never epted any offers. Despite the oppression from various forces, they never gave up. If they won, they gained fame again, and if they lost, as long as they were still alive, they would regroup and fight again. In any case, it was impossible for them to serve under anyone else. Just when everyone thought that the siblings would eventually establish themselves among the major powers in the world The Hundred Demons Pavilion suddenly appeared in everyones sight. And the two great generals under themand of the Ghost King of the Hundred Demons Pavilion were none other than the brother and sister duo who would never submit to anyone in all those years. No one knew what had happened, and now there were too many versions of the story about them in cirction. Nobody knew which version was true. Most importantly, the Hundred Demons Pavilion, within a year of its establishment, began sending out challenges to various countries. And they never lost. The reputation of Hundred Demons Pavilion in various countries soared to the point of being feared by others. Over the course of two years, the power of the Hundred Demons Pavilion infiltrated all aspects of life in various countries, attracting talented individuals. You never knew if the top talents around you might secretly be members of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. As for the Ghost King, he was even more mysterious; his gender unknown, and even whether he was human or ghost was uncertain in the whispers that circted throughout the various nations. Anyhow, ording to the most widely-spread version, the Ghost King was eight feet tall,pletely ck in appearance, and could tear people apart with his bare hands. It seems that you dont have a good impression of the Hundred Demons Pavilion, said Daisy Zane. I wouldnt say I have a bad impression, replied Kevin rk. After all, being cautious is wise when dealing with someone who rose to power within two years, putting the Hundred Demons Pavilion among the top forces in the world. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow slightly. What if the Ghost King is moody and kills people easily? Kevin rk tried to scare her. If you stay at the manor house, wouldnt you be in danger? Do you think I cant defeat him?} No, I just think its dangerous. I heard the Ghost King is eight feet tall, said Daisy Zane. Have you seen him? You cant trust rumors, Missy,ughed Kevin rk. Buthe must not be someone easy to deal with. Just by managing to subdue and bring the siblings Luke and Logan under his control, he has disyed leadership skills that ordinary people dont have. Imagine receiving such high praise from Third Master rk. Listening to her words, Kevin rks inner rm bells rang again. Thest person she was interested in discussing was William Lane. She had wanted to marry into the Lane family. Buthe must be an ugly brute, said Kevin rk, who knew exactly how to deal with someone who was obsessed with appearances. Daisy Zane turned to look at him, a confused and surprised expression in her eyes. She didnt understand why he suddenly attacked the appearance of the Ghost King. Kevin rk reached out to stroke her head: So do you want toe to my ce? No, said Daisy Zane, pulling her gaze back and touching her own face. Ill be leaving tomorrow. Wont you stay for a few more days? I have something to take care of back home. Alright then. Kevin rk drove to a snack street, and Daisy Zane strolled along the street, eating and shopping as she went. After about two hours on Snack Street, she finally strolled out. Kevin rk noticed that the little girl didnt like shopping, but she enjoyed going to Snack Street. Having eaten and drank to his hearts content, Kevin sent her back. Naturally, he stayed as well. Daisy Zane had changed rooms because she didnt want to change the sheets after sleeping in her clothes. So, she moved to another room. Kevin rk slept in the room next to hers. The next day, when Daisy Zane woke up at about 9 0clock, Kevin rk was already in the kitchen cooking Red Date and Lotus Seed Porridge. She smelled it from the second floor. Meanwhile, James Collins was sitting in the living room, applying medicine to Liana Butchs wrist. What happened? Daisy Zane poured herself a ss of water and looked at Lianas right wrist, which seemed to be dislocated. Liana nced at her but didnt speak, then coldly stared at the kitchen entrance. Seeing that she wasnt answering, Daisy Zane looked at James Collins. Its nothing serious, James said, You could say it was a lovers quarrel. Dorothea and Kevin rk fought this morning, and she didnt win. Daisy Zane raised her hand and smacked James on the head, Stop talking nonsense. James shrank his neck and didnt dare to speak anymore. Where else did you get hurt? Daisy Zane asked, sipping water. Just the wrist. Liana leaned against the sofa. Daisy Zane pinched her shoulder: Dont worry, I cant beat him either. Not only did this not reassure Liana, but it made her more worried. She nced at the kitchen and whispered, Big Boss! You cant beat him either! You cant beat him! You cant marry this kind of man. If you marry him, youll be bullied! Liana said, Look at his cunning face; he doesnt seem honest at all. And you cant even beat him; youll be taken advantage of. No, I dont agree with this marriage. As if its up to you to agree. James mumbled quietly. Why shouldnt it be?! Liana raised her leg and kicked him, Just because the Big Boss is protecting you, doesnt mean I wont hit you. Sorry, but you cant beat me right now. Huh! Liana sneered, I can beat you, and I will beat you! Lets go to the martial arts arena right now. Its too sunny now, if you want to go, go by yourself Ignoring their conversation, Daisy Zane turned around and went to the kitchen to check on Kevin rk. Even in the kitchen, Third Master rks demeanor didnt diminish in the slightest. His ancient and elegant air added a touch of refinement to the kitchen. Seeing her, Kevin rk smiled first: Come here. Daisy Zane put her hands in her pants pockets and walked to his side in a few steps. Without moving his hand, Kevin lowered his head and touched his forehead to hers: No more fever. Daisy Zane didnt care much about her fever and didnt even know when it urred. She looked at the glutinous rice balls on the side. I saw them in the fridge, so I cooked them. Want to eat? Yeah. Kevin rk served her a bowl. Daisy Zane held the bowl with one hand and the spoon with the other, eating the glutinous rice balls, standing beside him, watching his hands work. Go to the restaurant. Itll be ready soon. No need. Daisy Zane blew on a glutinous rice ball and put it in her mouth, Are you going back home? You go back first, Kevin rk said, Ill wrap things up here and return in a couple of days. Daisy Zane leisurely chewed on the glutinous rice ball, nodding her head. I dont n on bringing these people back to our country, Kevin rk continued, but as for Robert Kirsten Wilton Edwards. No, Daisy Zane very decisively refused. Alright, I understand.. Chapter 221 - 211: Must Win Her Back Chapter 221: Chapter 211: Must Win Her Back Trantor: 549690339 Truro City, the residence of Old Master of the Miles Family. Early in the morning, Old Master sat in the courtyard, craning his neck and looking towards the entrance. When he saw Johanes Miles car stop at the entrance and someone got out of the car, he immediately stood up with the help of his cane. As Johanes approached, he hastily asked, How did it go? Did you see anyone? Johanes, with a few more strands of white hairbed back at his temples and a somewhat somber expression, shook his head, No. I asked the security guards in the residential estate. They havent seen here back. Didnt she leave another address with thepany? Did you check there? I did. Johanes helped the Old Master sit down in the chair, There is no trace of anyone living there. Where did she go then? Based on the information on the Inte, herst scene was filmed in the Imperial Capital, said Johanes Miles with a sigh, After that, there has been no news. Does she have a ce to stay in the Imperial Capital? Probably, Johanes said, Her poprity is high, the media attention is high, and she has many fans. But no one can take a picture of her in real life aside from when shes filming. Can one Allonzo Hobson really make it happen like this? There were photos of her taken by the media before, showing her going in and out of the Evesting Pce. But when the pictures were posted online, they were removed within a minute. The information about her private life is tightly controlled. Old Master Miles rubbed his cane and said solemnly, The power behind her is probably even greater than we could imagine. Johanes sighed again, Now we cant contact her, nor can we find her. Although Miles Groups reputation has been somewhat salvaged because Jordan Ashton went to the hospital, many important projects still have no one daring to cooperate, all fearing Daisy Zanes power. So the most important step now is to get her back. We must bring her back at all costs. Old Master Miles added, Otherwise, the Miles Family will really copse. I know, but Think of other ways, ask someone in the Imperial Capital for news about her. Old Master Miles suggested. Alright, thats all we can do for now. How have Johnson Sophie and John Anderson been these days? Sophie hasnt left home in days, and John hasnt shown up aftering over twice, Johanes said, I think Sophie doesnt want to marry John anymore. If she doesnt marry John, who else would she marry? Old Master Miles grumbled, Now that the Miles family is in this state, we still need to rely on the Anning Faction. With Maple Elite Entertainment, everyone will still be merciful to us because of John. Whats she fussing about now? Johanes sighed again but remained silent. She really doesnt know whats best for her anymore, Old Master Milesined, If she doesnt hold on to John now, who can she marry in the future? Where is her brain! Go back and tell her to find John, appease him, and quickly arrange their wedding. Alright, Ill talk to her about it. If she still wants to make a fuss, take back her shares in Miles Group. Ill persuade her. Old Master Miles snorted coldly and said no more. Daisy Zane returned from the M Continent and went straight to the vi in the Imperial Capital. James Collins apanied her back and brought gifts for Charles Amos. When the two entered the living room, Charles Amos was wearing boxing gloves and sparring with Wilton Edwards. Although he was small in size, his movements were quite professional. Hearing footsteps, Charles Amos immediately looked towards the living room entrance. Seeing Daisy Zane, he quickly ran to her side, hugged her leg, and looked up at her with a smile. His big eyes were shining, Youre back? His upper teeth had grown a bit, and when he opened his mouth, the few teeth looked quite adorable. Daisy Zane looked down and lightly tapped his head, then messed up his curly hair. Little Charles, did you miss me? James Collins suddenly popped up from behind Daisy Zane. At first, Charles Amos was quite happy to hear his voice, but when he saw James Collins green hair, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he pursed his little mouth. Miss, Mr. Collins, Uncle Wilton came over. Uncle Wilton, James called and then left the thing in his hand on the ground. He went forward and hugged Wilton Edwards, Long time no see, Ive missed you. Mr. Collins has cared, Wilton Edwards patted him on the back, Are you staying here for a few days? Yeah. Ill be staying for more than ten days. Alright, Ill have someone clean up a room for you. Thank you, Uncle Wilton. Wilton Edwards asked someone to clean the room, and James Collins squatted down to look at Charles Amos. Charles Amos still looked at his green hair. Daisy Zane didnt pay attention to them, walked into the living room by herself, sat down on the sofa, and poured a ss of water to drink. James Collins tapped Charles Amoss head, Did you grow taller? Charles Amos looked at his hair again and then gently nodded. I brought a present for you, James Collins patted the box on the ground, A drone. Charles Amoss eyes immediately lit up as he squatted down beside the box. Seeing his joy, James Collins also felt happy, looking at him and asking, So what do you have to say for this gift? Charles Amos nced at the box on the ground and then at James Collins, pursing his lips, Thank you, Uncle. At first, James Collins only wanted to tease him but didnt expect that he would actually talk to him. He was momentarily stunned, You, what did you just say? You called me Uncle, right? I didnt hear you wrong, you were talking to me, right? Actually, Charles Amos and James Collins have always yed well together. James Collins was nice to him, and he was close to James Collins, but he just wouldnt talk with him. Sister, Sister, Sister! James Collins ran back behind Daisy Zane, Did you hear it? He just called me Uncle, he called me Uncle. Daisy Zane looked through the messages on her cell phone, nced at him, and with a t tone, said, Im sure he called you Uncle, not Dad. Huh? James Collins was confused for a moment. With you acting like a father, people might think you have an extra son. Daisy Zane said, looking at Charles Amos. Watching Charles Amos lower his head and untying his boxing gloves, she saw a faint smile at the bottom of her eyes. James Collins also smiled, helping him take off his gloves, grabbing the drone, and taking him to the backyard. Daisy Zane watched the two and suddenly thought of something she had never considered before. When Charles Amos grows up, will he also be as tall and forget it, she couldnt imagine Charles with green curly hair. The two went to the backyard, and Daisy Zane sat in the living room for a while, sent a few messages to Kevin rk, and decided to go upstairs. But just as she went up the stairs, her cell phone rang again. She nced at the caller ID, it was Morris, and she answered it. Whats up? Im so angry. Morris blurted out, Im going to be driven mad by anger. Whos making you angry? Daisy Zane walked slowly up to the second floor. Its just that Billy Allen, Morris cursed, I want to p him a couple of times now. pping him a couple of times is not enough to calm my anger.. Chapter 222 - 212 Chapter 222: Chapter 212 Trantor: 549690339 Thest time Morris gave her a call, he expressed his admiration, even had her watch so many of Billys films. Now he was starting to swear. Daisy Zane went upstairs and standing in the corridor, asked, What happened? I attended a movie event this morning and saw him. Morris said angrily. And then? Then I thought since I ran into him, we could talk. Guess what the hell he said? Daisy didnt make a sound. He certainly hadnt said anything nice, otherwise, Morris wouldnt be this upset. He said the quality of domestic films is too poor, the production, storyline, and plot are all uneptable, so he wont shoot domestic films. Damn! It pissed me off! Daisy slightly raised her eyebrows, not saying a word. Whats even more annoying is, I introduced him to my production team, my status, even your identity as a screenwriter, and the various major awards youve won. Morris voice was trembling with anger, But then, you know what he said? He said so what? Daisy chuckled lightly, He is after all an international Best Actor. A few years ago, our movie won a big award internationally. Did I act stuck-up? Did I brag? Did I have my nose in the air? Morris continued, He is bullying people in my territory. Standing upstairs, Daisy suddenly saw the fish that were being raised in the living room below. They must have been sent over by Kevin rk. Seeing the goldfish lifted Daisys spirits, and she continued to listen to Morris rant. I hate those kinds of people the most, those who hold foreign things in high esteem. Morris said, If he thinks that the domestic film industry is not doing well, he should save it. What does he mean by disparaging it? He just talks down to people. Damn it! I dont want to work with him anymore! Id rather work with anybody else but him! There wille a time when he will be crying and begging toe back, lets see who dares to use him then. Daisy went back downstairs intending to visit the fish, Since he looks down on domestic films, why did hee back all of a sudden? I heard he wanted to meet a clothing brand designer. Morris heard someone mention it during the event, but didnt pay much attention, I think he came to discuss some kind of coboration. Daisy came in front of the fish tank, took some fish food, and sprinkled it into the tank, Is that so? Thats what I heard. Thats not important. The important thing is Morris said, Hell never take you seriously. Dont tell me youre not upset? Why should I be upset? Daisy sprinkled a little more fish food into the tank, As youve said, there will be a time when he will be crying and begging. Morris let out a long sigh, I cant wait to see him begging and weeping. You will. What will? Nothing. Ill hang up now. Daisy hung up the phone. Seeing that the fish in the tank were happily eating, she sprinkled a bit more food in. Then she scrolled through her phone messages and opened an old chat from someone named Joseph Allen. The most recent message exchange was three days ago. Joseph Allen: [Do you want toe to the Fall/Winter Haute Couture Fashion Show? I can send you a few invitations.] Daisy replied several hourster: [No. Dont need the invitations.] Joseph Allen responded immediately: [Okay, Ill still save your invitation for you.] Daisy read the message but didnt respond. Joseph Allen always asked Daisy if she wanted to attend the yearly fashion show, and Daisy always responded the same way. No, dont want. Then Joseph Allen would keep the invitation he had for her safe. Daisy scrolled back through the messages to check the date of the fashion show, figuring that she should have time to attend. She sent Joe another message: [Send me a few invitations. Address: xxxx] Joseph Allen responded immediately again: [Are youing?] [I will swing by if I have time.] [Okay.] After reading the message, Daisy Zane sprinkled some fish food into the bathtub again. Seeing the fish eating contently elevated her mood, and she went upstairs to go to bed. Kevin rk returned to Imperial Capital three days after Daisy Zane did. There was no valuable information avable on Koymoon Ind. Besides Robert Kirsten, the assassins they had captured were all just following orders and knew nothing. And Robert Kirsten refused to say anything. Kevin rk had tried hypnosis on him, but the moment he asked about crucial information, Robert would instinctively break free from the hypnosis. His reaction was even stronger than that of the man they had previously detained in the 18th Prison. There was even a severe case of self-harm. After several attempts, Kevin rk saw that both Robert Kirstens mental state and physical condition were severely damaged. Therefore, he decided to pause the sessions for the time being. Apart from that, the phrase that Robert Kirsten repeated the most was his demand to see Wilton Edwards. It was like an obsession that wouldnt dissolve or disappear After returning to the Imperial Capital, Kevin rk first went to the vi to see Daisy Zane. He spent half a day with her before he went home to see his parents. When he got home, it was already past dinner time. Hugo rk, Hardy rk, as well as Kevin rks senior, were all there. They were all sitting in the living room watching TV with Kevins parents. Upon entering the living room, Kevin rk first greeted his parents and his senior, and then Hugo rk and Hardy rk called out Third Uncle. Then they all turned their eyes back to the TV. Kevin rk raised his eyebrow; his parents were not the types to enjoy TV series. What was going on today? Everyone seemed glued to the television. Moreover, there hadnt been any dialogue in the TV series from the moment he entered. There was only intense background music. What are you watching thats got you so hooked? Kevin rk asked as he made his way to an unupied single sofa. Just then, the screen showed a close-up of the female actor. She was by a window, holding a sniper rifle, watching the situation on the street outside through the rifle scope. The lens was almost up close to her face, and on the big TV screen, Daisy Zanes face was portrayed vividly. The cold stunning beauty, the sharp, murderous aura surrounding her, as well as the relentless determination in her eyes. Even having seen it many times, Kevin rk was once again amazed by this stunning beauty with a strong impact. Then, he raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth even lifted slightly. Hugo rk, Hardy rk, and his senior all nced at Kevin rks reaction, but not one of them dared to speak out. Why the sudden interest in TV dramas? Kevin rk asked. Quiet, said Tom Wayne. Kevin rk: Not until the Daisy Zane on the screen had finished off several people on the street and put away her sniper rifle, did Tom Wayne look at his son and then speak, This show is called Fall of the Quince, and its really good. Kevin rk didnt say anything as he looked at the TV. Hugo rk kept a straight face and couldnt help butin in his heart. There was no need for the introduction since his Third Uncle was literally watching the filming. Yes, its very well made, Dupont alsomented, The lead actress is obviously very professional. Her posture when holding the gun is very standard. The fight scenes are also well executed. Its not like some TV dramas, where anything goes, and they only focus on the image of the actors. Grandpa, shes supposed to be the supporting female, Hardy rk pointed out. The supporting female? But she seems like the lead female to me,mented Dupont. Are you biased because you think shes pretty? Tom Wayne interjected. Im only saying that shes good at acting, and who could be prettier than you? Dupont always knew how to save himself. Everyoneughed a bit. From their reactions, it was clear that they were used to such exchanges. Tom Wayne shot a nce at Dupont and then said, But indeed, shes beautiful, and so is her temperament. Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corner of Kevin rks mouth. Then he heard Tom Wayne continuing: This is also the girl I bumped into in the restroom that time. I even got her contact information because I wanted to introduce her to Hugo.. Dont they make a perfect match? Chapter 223 - 213: Shelter for One Night? Chapter 223: Chapter 213: Shelter for One Night? Trantor: 549690339 The atmosphere in the living room gradually became strange with Natalie Waynes words. Kevin rks upward smile stiffened, and a momentter, he turned his head to look at Hugo rk. Feeling the gaze, Hugo rk immediately picked up a cup of tea and gently sipped it. Pretending to be seriously tasting the tea, he pretended not to see his Third Uncles gaze. Hardy rk watched the bustle without interfering, looking at her Third Uncle and her brother, then ran to Natalie Waynes side, holding her arm and said, Grandma, youve met her before. How did you meet? Tell me, tell me. Natalie Wayne patted her hand and said with a smile, It was at the Doomsday Hotel auctionst time. I met her in the restroom. How is it? Doesnt she look better in person than on TV? Yes, she looks better than on TV. Natalie Wayne smiled, I was amazed at first nce. How could there be such a beautiful person with such an outstanding temperament? So, I became interested. Hardy rk quickly nced at Kevin rk, then smiled and said, Then how did you get her contact information? I dont think shes the type to give her contact information to strangers. Do you know who your grandma is? Natalie Wayne smiled, I had a sudden idea at that moment and pretended to fall with lipstick in hand. The youngdy seemed approachable but very kind, so she helped me. Natalie Wayne reached for a cup of tea on the tea table and drank. While waiting for her to drink the tea, everyone stared at her, waiting for the follow-up story. Natalie Wayne raised her hand to touch her hair, looked at several pairs of inquiring eyes, and said slowly, I took advantage of her help by smearing her clothes with lipstick. Kevin rk: So, thats how the apricot-colored skirt got dirty. No wonder Hardy rks mouth twitched, and she looked at her Third Uncle and said, Grandma, you, youre so brave. Its all because your brother is still single at this age, which worries me. Natalie Wayne scolded Hugo rk, then continued, That girl was very polite to me. Her skirt was so expensive, but she kept saying it was fine. However, I couldnt miss such an opportunity. I stubbornly grabbed her arm, demanded her contact information aspensation for the skirt, and even called her on the spot to make sure the number was correct before letting her go. Kevin rk was speechless. He thought the youngdy must have recognized his mother; otherwise, she would never have let anyone make her skirt so dirty. She wouldnt have given out her contact information just because she was dragged and not allowed to leave. This youngdy had a thousand ways to deal with people. And then what? Did you give my brother her contact information? Hardy rk continued to ask. Hugo rk immediately turned his head and red at her. But Hardy rk stuck out her tongue at him, showing no intention of stopping. I gave it to your brother immediately, Natalie Wayne nced at Hugo rk and snorted coldly, But your brother not only failed to contact her, but he also lied to me. What did my brother lie about to you? He lied to me that the girlsst name was Zhao. Natalie Wayne said gloomily, Her real name is Daisy Zane! Hardy rk covered her mouth with her hand and giggled secretly. Hugo rks mouth was pursed straight, and the word grievance was clearly printed on his clean and handsome face. It seemed fierce, but he couldnt provoke anyone in the room. Such a good girl, but she has no fate with our family. Natalie Wayne sighed. The senior sister, who had been listening quietly, saw the expression on Kevin rks face and didnt dare to say a word. She could only listen in silence. Grandma, youre too biased. When theres a beautiful girl, you think of my brother but not my Third Uncle. Hardy rk said, Little Daisy is so much better suited to my Third Uncle than my brother. How is she more suited to your Third Uncle? Natalie Wayne said, Shes even better suited to your brother. Why is she better suited to my brother? Hardy rk muttered quietly, stealing a nce at Kevin rks face. Why do you think shes more suited to your Third Uncle? Elina rk suddenly spoke up, When your Third Uncle stands next to that youngdy, hes like a rich and enchanting painting, while shes like the cold and clear moon in the vast white snow. How are they a good match? Natalie Wayne nodded in agreement. Theyre clearly a good match. Hardy rk muttered quietly. What? Natalie Wayne asked. Nothing, nothing. Did youpensate for the skirt you ruined? Kevin rk suddenly spoke up. The voice wasnt very cold, but it was oppressive, like a heavy weight on everyones heart. The living room quieted down instantly. Natalie Wayne and Elina rk looked at each other and exchanged nces, both asking, Who provoked him? Hardy rk was scared and hid behind Natalie Wayne, fearing the trouble would spread to her. You haventpensated her, have you? Kevin rks gaze moved from his mother to Hugo rk, and he smiled, That youngdys skirt must not have been cheap. Oh my, I forgot about that. Natalie Wayne said. Hugo shouldpensate, as it was caused by you. Kevin rk said softly. Hugo rk: Its been so long withoutpensation; weve been impolite. Kevin rk looked at him and said, Triple thepensation. Hugo rk: Seeing that Arthur North wasnt speaking, Kevin rk asked again, Arthur, whats wrong? Any problem? Elina rk and Tom Wayne looked at Hugo rk, not knowing what he had done to provoke his Third Uncle and be the target of his annoyance. No problem, said Hugo rk. Ill add the contact information Grandma gave me in a moment. Arthur North looked up at him, and after a moment, let out a soft chuckle. Everyones heart trembled at thisugh. Well, just transfer the money, Arthur North said, turning to Tom Wayne. Mom, I have a friend whos opposed to marriage. However, after his family forced him to go on several matchmaking dates, hed actually taken a liking to a girl, and now they even have a son. A sudden twitch appeared at the corner of Hugos eyebrows. Huh? Tom Wayne was still immersed in why their uncle and nephew were at odds again, not fully understanding what Arthur North had said all at once. She wondered when Arthur North had such a friend. So, arrange some blind dates for Hugo as well, Arthur North said slowly. With two dates a day, there must be some perfect match eventually. Hugo rk clenched his jaw, his jawline tense as he looked at Arthur North. Arthur North nced at him and continued, Find a matchmaker tomorrow, and arrange the blind dates the day after. The sooner, the better. What if tomorrow is your lucky day, and fate brings you a wedding match? You need to be proactive in such matters. When fate arrives, human effort must follow. Tom Wayne had always believed in the power of fate in such matters. Now hearing Arthur Norths words, she was afraid of missing out on her grandsons destiny: Arthur is right; this matter must be approached promptly. What if your fate lies within these blind dates? Oh, why didnt I think of this before? What if we missed it? I know quite a few matchmakers, and Ill contact them first thing tomorrow morning. Grandma. Hugo rk regretted his quick tongue regarding adding Daisy Zane just now; he was instantly repaid with a revenge plot. I already have someone I like. Dont try that with me; I know youre just making excuses to avoid going on blind dates, Tom Wayne said. I wont believe it. Its true. You can ask Third Uncle if you dont believe me. Tom Wayne looked at Arthur North. Arthur North, looking at Daisy Zane on TV, said, Hugo, although Im your elder and should protect you, this is about your lifelong happiness. I really cant cover for you in this matter. Hugo rk: Hardy rk shot a sympathetic nce at his brother. What a short memory he had, provoking Third Uncle again and again since childhood and never learning from his mistakes. Instead of letting his uncle have thest word, he continued digging an even deeper hole for himself. You see, you see, youre lying to me again! Tom Wayne looked around for something to throw at him. Seeing nothing handy by her side, Elina handed her a cushion. Tom Wayne immediately threw it: You little b*stard! Hugo rk caught the cushion, at a loss for words. Tomorrow, stay home and wait for the matchmaker toe! As Tom Wayne spoke, Arthur Norths cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw it was a call from Daisy Zane. Arthur Norths eyes tightened, and he immediately answered the phone. The Little Girl rarely called him; there must be something wrong. He answered the phone while walking out: Whats up? Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment before she said, Fish How much is it per fish? Huh? Arthur North stepped out of the door and went to the outside corridor. Charles Amos asked me to ask you, if a fish gets overfed to death, is there any chance of reviving it? Arthur North froze for a moment beforeughing, Theres hope of seeing even more fish. After that, he heard Daisy Zane saying to Charles Amos, Uncle rk said you should think about where to bury them. Arthur North: Charles Amoss small voice rang from the cell phone, Why are they so fragile? They just ate a little too much. I only wanted to take care of them. Its because I fed them too much today; it has nothing to do with your care, Daisy Zane said, and then told Arthur North, Alright, nothings wrong. Hes afraid youll be mad. He asked me to make the call to test the waters. Arthur North looked at the courtyard and smiled, but his tone was obviously disappointed: Oh, it was Charles who asked you to call. Daisy Zane: Hang up. Little Girl, wait a moment. Arthur North stopped her. Hmm? Arthur North swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, thinking it would be better to speak in person. In a gentle voice, he said, Can I stay at your ce tonight? Daisy Zane paused for a moment, then asked, Howe? Have you been kicked out of your home? Arthur North sounded somewhat pitiful, What if I said yes? Thats so pitiful Daisy Zane chuckled softly, her voicezy, I can rent you a room. Arthur North: Come over and well discuss the rent. Arthur North immediately smiled: Alright.. Chapter 224 - 214: Doesn’t Seem Like a Good Chapter 224: Chapter 214: Doesnt Seem Like a Good Person Trantor: 549690339 After Kevin made the phone call, he called for someone in his courtyard to send him a few goldfish, and then he returned to the living room. When he returned to the living room again, everyone was glued to the TV. Except for Hugo, whose face was livid, and he gave Kevin a cold nce before turning back. Everybody elses attention was drawn away by the television. On TV this time was another scene of Daisy Zanes performance. Her makeup was still done by Kevin. A family of experts watched an amateurs performance. Kevin sat down on the side without disturbing them. After a while, this scene was over, and the camera focused on someone else. Natalie Wayne said, This girl is really good. Even though shes an amateur, she must have put in a lot of effort. Its hard for a professional like me to find fault. Right, right. Hardy rk nodded in agreement, I first saw this clip online, and then watched the entire show. Shes really serious and did a long scene with no stand-ins for the long shots. Shes really great. Yes, she has a solid foundation in dance. Natalie Waynemented, Shes truly talented, and not inferior to Hardy in any way. I wonder how her singing is. How is her singing? Kevin had never heard Daisy sing. But her voice was pleasant, so her singing should be good as well. If only we had met her earlier, we could have taken her as a disciple. Natalie Waynemented. I heard that Lucia Hardy swallowed the word Daisy before continuing, Sister Lucia is from Cold Green Vige. Our familys poverty alleviation project includes that ce. If only each year when we went there for inspection we had looked for her. Maybe we would have met her earlier. Has she always been in Cold Green Vige? Natalie Wayne asked, Her dance foundation seems to have been learned from a young age. Kevin blinked. The origin of the little girl was still a mystery. Im not sure about that. Hardy said, then picked up the remote control and rewound the video, Lets watch it again. Natalie looked at her, You seem to really like her. Yes. Hardy smiled, Im a fan of hers. Grandmother, you seem to like her too. I have a good impression of her. Its a pity shes not fated to be part of our family. Natalie hesitated for a moment before continuing, But, this girls background is not good, and its really not suitable for our family. Hardy suddenly froze upon hearing these words. Mom, since when have you started being concerned about a persons background? Kevin asked his mother. Isnt it because of all the messy affairs in your rk family? Natalie said casually. Ah Elina, who had been quietly watching TV, reacted immediately and held Natalies hand, Its my fault for causing trouble for Mrs. rk. Natalie looked at her and smiled gently. Although her face already showed signs of time, her eyes were forever so bright. A gentle smile beamed with tender charm. In those days, a singer from humble beginnings was hardly considered respectable. Although she had many admirers, marrying into the wealthy rk family was an unreachable dream. Natalies own family was poor and had many children with her being the youngest. Unable to support her, they sent her to Theatre Garden to learn opera at a very young age. Later, she met a good master who not only taught her opera but also reading, writing, and traditional medicine. However, a poor opera singer got little respect. Elinas pursuit of her led to many rumors and gossip. Even after she married into the rk family, she had to deal with many of Elinas scandals. There was also the condescension from the people in the rk household, superficially respectful, but full of mocking behind her back. Fortunately, Natalie had a strong hand, and based solely on her own capabilities, she put everyone in rk Manor in their ce and secured her position as Mrs. rk. So, better than anyone at the scene, she understood what kind of trouble an ill-reputed public figure would face if she married into the rk family Natalie watched the scene with Hardy once more, then suddenly said, Hardy, havent you noticed this girls acting in this scene seems to have the shadow of Jane Chester? Jane Chester is Seniors name. Seniorsst name is Chester, her first name, Jane. After hearing this, Seniors breath hitched for a moment: Really? Indeed. Hardy rk suddenly realized too, Even that habitual little movement is the same. Senior: Daisy Zane didnt know much about Peking opera and hadnt been learning for long. But her advantagey in her excellent memory. So in a limited amount of time, shepletely replicated Jane Chesters movements. Maximizing their simrity. So even the movements that belonged exclusively to Jane Chesters personal style were learned as well. She must have learned it by following Auntie Janes video. Hardy rk said. Very likely. Senior replied immediately. Tom Wayne nced at her, then back to the TV. He knew his apprentice best. Something was off about the girl, and she was hiding something from them. Arthur North also noticed Seniors nervousness. He nced at the entrance and then stood up: Senior, Im going out. Ill take you back on my way. Senior immediately stood up: Alright. It is gettingte. Where are you going at this hour? Elina rk frowned. Arthur North smiled and said, Im going to make efforts to add a new member to our family. Arthur North was referring to the effort of courting a wife, while Elina rk heard it as Arthur North creating a grandchild for him. If you really love her, marry her sooner. Elina rk said, Dont bully her before youre married. Arthur North: Did you hear that? Do I look like that kind of person? Elina rk looked him up and down: You sure do. You dont look like a good person. Arthur North looked at his mother, hoping to find somefort. Tom Wayne said, Your father is right. Arthur North: Was that really his image? Arthur North took the goldfish and sent Senior home. Then he immediately drove to Daisy Zanes ce. When he arrived, Daisy Zane was in the living room, drawing on a tablet. Hearing footsteps, she turned to look. Her gaze firstnded on the half-baked cheese in his left hand, then on the fish in his right hand. She paused for a moment and said, Charles Amos is asleep. Thats fine. Arthur North walked over and ced the half-baked cheese in front of her. Hell see it as soon as he wakes up tomorrow morning. Daisy Zane nced at the half-baked cheese and said, What? Bribing me to give you a cheaper rent? Arthur North smiled, went to put the fish in the bathtub, and then walked back. He leaned down to kiss her first and said, I do want to bribe you. But this is a freebie. Daisy Zane gently raised her eyebrows: So wheres the actual bribe? Me. Arthur North whispered, Would seduction work? Daisy Zane looked into his eyes, her phoenix eyes gradually deepening: That depends on Third Masters sincerity. Arthur North moved closer to her again, his long, narrow eyes filled with deep affection as he drawled, Whatever type of sincerity you want, I can provide.. Chapter 225 - 215: As You Wish Chapter 225: Chapter 215: As You Wish Trantor: 549690339 The light from the crystalmp was blocked by Kevin rk. Daisy Zane was enveloped in his shadow, looking at his picturesque eyebrows and eyes, the gentle specks of light in the depths of his eyes, and the hidden, restrained sense of oppression. Why arent you talking anymore? Ill satisfy whatever sincerity you want. Kevin rks unique Beijing ent, even if filled with ambiguity, had an ancient, humbling charm to it. It was like a clear stream flowing directly into ones heart. Daisy Zane watched as he approached her a little closer, the oppressive feeling instantly surrounding her. She raised her hand and pressed it against his shoulder, pushing him back slightly, and said, Tenant, please keep your distance. Kevin rk nced at her reddened ears and did not expose her. He kissed her hand, Have you had enough of this sight? No more? Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk smiled at her speechless appearance and sat down beside her, helping her take out the half-baked cheese. Just then, his phone rang, and Hugo rk transferred some money to him. It was apanied by a message: [Help me transfer this to Auntie.] Looking at this message, Kevin rk raised an eyebrow slightly. He could imagine how humiliating Hugo rks expression was when he typed the word Auntie. It was bad enough that his younger brother was older than him but his auntie is even younger than him. Before long, Hugo rk sent another message: [Third Uncle, please talk to Grandmother about my blind date.] He then transferred another sum of money to him. [Aunties meeting gift.] Kevin rk chuckled and didnt reply to him. He sent a message to his mother, telling her to let Hugo rk off the hook. Natalie Waynes response came quickly, with voice message. Kevin rk clicked on it, and Natalie Waynes voice rang out immediately: Youre taking advantage of me to bully Hugo again. Do you have any idea how to be an uncle? Seeing an uncle like you is really bad luck. You two go out and Ill have some peace of mind. Daisy Zane, who was eating the half-baked cheese, nced at him when she heard the sound, Really got kicked out of the house. Yeah. Ill have to live off your earnings from now on. Kevin rk said, transferring all the money Hugo rk had sent to her. Fine. Daisy Zane saved her drawing and said, You pay the living expenses, and Ill support you. It still costs money to live off someone. Living off someone without spending money Daisy Zane looked at him and said, Third Master, there is no such thing. Kevin rkughed, looking at the jewelry design on her tablet, and lightly raised an eyebrow. Although it was only a half-finished product, the exquisite and sophisticated sense, as well as a mature and elegant feel, could still be seen. Do you like designing? Kevin rk asked. Its okay. Daisy Zane saved her design and closed the tablet. She nced at her phone that had just rang. She saw that Kevin rk had transferred arge sum of money to her. She looked at Kevin rk, So, youre really going to pay for living off me? No. Kevin rk said, Hugos meeting gift and the money for the skirt my mom dirtied. Daisy Zane looked up at him and hesitated for a moment, Its just a skirt. Its okay, Hugo has money. No reason not to fleece him. Kevin rk pinched her hand and said, So, you knew who my mom was then? Yes. Daisy Zane said, You two look alike. So you can probably understand my moms character, right? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane sensed the hidden meaning in his words and looked at him expressionlessly. She looks like a very steady, gentle, and elegantdy, but her character is very lively. Kevin rk chose his words carefully, She likes you a lot. Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered slightly. But her path has gone astray, and shes creating mismatches for people. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane roughly understood why the money for the skirt waspensated by Hugo rk. With Arthur Norths cunning personality, he didnt dare do anything to his mother, but he had to find someone to act on. Now she probably understood why he came over sote. He came to ask her if he could meet her parents. Last time they saw his elder brother, he said he would ask for her opinion in the future. Arthur North was not in a hurry to tell his family. He was afraid that the little girl might find it troublesome and be reluctant to meet the parents. And he also felt that the little girl hadnt thought about developing with him to that extent yet. What ifbecause she found it troublesome, she turned around and didnt want him anymore. He was also afraid that she would worry too much and didnt want to give her that much pressure. She was still so young and had never been in a rtionship. He wanted her to experience a happy romance without introducing family factors so early. But his mother was trying to match-make. Worse still, his parents felt they were notpatible! His mother was very fond of the little girl, so she introduced her to Hugo rk instead. What if next time she introduces her to some of her other disciples. Its better not to let mothers create their sons love rivals. If my mother finds out were together said Arthur North, Theres a 98% chance she will not be able to resisting to see you. Daisy Zanes eyebrows moved slightly. Its very likely that shell show up suddenly without you and me knowing. Arthur North observed Daisy Zanes expression. Seeing that she wasnt annoyed, he continued, We have had such experience. Daisy Zane listened as Arthur Norths voice became more and more uncertain. Like my sister-inw, and my senior sisters husband. After she found out, she pretended to be a stranger and got close to them. Arthur North suddenly felt that he couldnt quite see through the girl in front of him, couldnt understand her current mood, so he felt even more unsure, She actually enjoyed it. Waiting to give people a surprise when meeting the parents. Daisy Zane noticed that Arthur Norths palms were sweating, so she tried to pull her hand out, but Arthur North immediately gripped it tighter: If you think its too much trouble, I wont tell my parents for now. Youre getting in the way of my eating, said Daisy Zane softly. Arthur North nced at her hand and reluctantly let go. Daisy Zane handed him a few tissues, teasingly saying, Third Master, wipe the sweat off your hands. Arthur North took the tissues: Daisy Zane took a bite of the half-baked cheese, slowly chewing on it: So you came over to talk to me in person about this? I wanted to ask for your opinion in person. Arthur North held her waist from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder, and said softly, If you dont want to, I wont tell them. Daisy Zane looked down at his hand. It seemed that rumors really couldnt be trusted. This so-called prodigal son in everyones mouth was actually experiencing his first love affair. He was a gentleman with self-restraint, knew how to maintain boundaries, and always showed respect, care, and affection. He took love seriously, thinking about their future together, and didnt hesitate to introduce his girlfriend to his family. Its up to you. Just as Arthur North was thinking about how to prevent his mother from creating love rivals, he suddenly heard her words and froze for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and looked at her, What? I said, its up to you. Daisy Zane poked a bit of half-baked cheese with her fork and brought it to Arthur Norths mouth, If your mother reallyes to see me, Ill pretend I dont know who she is. Arthur North opened his mouth to eat, paused for two seconds, and suddenlyughed. His mother seemed to have met her match. And his importance in the little girls heart seemed to be much heavier than what he thought.. Chapter 226 - 216: This is Plagiarism! Chapter 226: Chapter 216: This is giarism! Trantor: 549690339 At the end of August, the weather was still sweltering, the sun released energy as if it had been injected with a stimnt. The cicadas on the trees seemed to be fighting the heat with their loud and clear singing. Zane still hadnt found a satisfactory script. So Daisy Zane didnt have a job for the time being. She spent her days either drawing design drafts or in theboratory. As a result, she was photographed twice at Imperial Capital University. Someone uploaded the photos online. Since it was uploaded by an individual and didnt reveal any sensitive information, the matter was not dealt with. However, being photographed at Imperial Capital University did create a bit of controversy online. Most of thements were positive. But there were always some who seemed unable to bear anyones sess. Some used her of trying to ride on the coattails of Imperial Capital University. Others said that someone uneducated like her going to such a ce tarnished the sacred ground of the school. There were even those who imed she went to Imperial Capital University for a staged shoot, deliberately allowing herself to be photographed. And some even said that going to Imperial Capital University couldnt wash away her ignorant and impoverished aura. In short, it was all very negative and toxic. Daisy Zane made no response to these onlinements and told Zane and John Anderson not to bother with it either. Her attitude towards these online remarks was to ignore them. Otherwise, the more she rified, the more they would be spurred on. Ignoring them meant this matter would eventually die down. Additionally, Daisy Zane went to Spotlight a few times to prepare for the concept release conference, which eventually was scheduled for August 28th. On the 29th, there would be the autumn/winter haute couture fashion show for Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts. Director Nash had also approached her a few times for a variety show about going to school, which Daisy Zane declined too. Since there was no script and no show to film, there was no need to involve Billy Allen. Daisy Zane gradually started to conceive a new script. So, she was quite busy during this period and had less time to sleep. Daisy Zane didnt attend the concept release conference at Spotlight on the morning of the 28th, and she didnt even pay attention to it. She didnt sleep the night before and spent the entire night writing the script, only going to bed after daybreak. When she woke up, it was already 10 in the morning, and the conference had been going on for half an hour. Although she didnt pay attention to the conference, she saw the live broadcast of it on the living room TV after she finished washing up and went downstairs. There were many people at the scene, including not only domestic reporters, but also some foreign ones. Kevin rk, Allonzo Hobson, Juan Wright, and Michael Jackson were all there, too. She didnt know when they had arrived. The few of them were sitting on the sofa watching the press conference on TV while also ying with Charles Amos. Awake? Kevin rk got up and walked to her side when he saw her. Looking at her bloodshot eyes, he asked, Didnt sleep well? Its fine. After exchanging a nce with Allonzo Hobson and the others, Daisy Zane headed to the dining room, Quite a crowd today. Its a more rxed day. Kevin rk followed her, Juan Wright said he hadnt seen you in a long time, so they all came together. Its been a while, indeed. Youve been a bit busytely. Kevin rk, of course, knew that she had been going to Imperial Capital University, but he didnt know exactly what she was doing there and never asked. Theres just a lot going on. Daisy Zane sat down at the dining table, and a servant brought her a breakfast. Wheres Wilton Edwards? The servant replied, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Lane have gone out. Daisy Zane nodded her head. You need to have proper rest even when youre busy. Kevin rk sat down opposite her. Hmm. From this hmm, Kevin rk could sense that Daisy Zane was merely humoring him. Wilton Edwards said you didnt sleepst night. Daisy Zane: . He said there have been several instances when you havent slept at night recently. As Daisy Zane ate the sliced bread, she lifted her eyes to look at him. Her cold, indifferent eyes didnt reveal any emotions but seemed to have an intimidating presence. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane stared at each other, and he smiled, Wilton Edwards asked me to keep an eye on you. Daisy Zane: .????? This person actually uses his friends as spies. After much thought, I came up with a way to keep an eye on you. Daisy Zane took a sip of milk, asking curiously, What is it? Ill stay here. Kevin rk lowered his voice, Ill watch you closely, and if you dont sleep, Ill Youll do what? I wont let Charles Amos sleep either. Kevin rk said, Well stay up with you. childish. Oh, the little girl doesnt like childish things. Kevin rk smiled, his narrow eyes exuding a sense of enchantment, Then Ill just carry you Daisy Zane tore a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking his next words. Kevin rk took the bread from his mouth and chuckled softly. After breakfast, Daisy Zane returned to the living room, and Kevin rk took a phone call in the restaurant. When she returned to the living room, Daisy Zane asked Charles Amos to bring herputer down from her room so she could continue working on the script. She wrote while chatting with them and listened to the press conference on TV. After a while, Kevin rk came back after finishing his call. Allonzo Hobson said, Kevin, did William Lane call you? He wants to hang out tonight. Kevin rk nced at Daisy Zane and noticed that she had no particr reaction before saying, Yeah, he just called. Allonzo Hobson noticed Kevins nce at Daisy Zane, and quickly suggested, Lets invite Daisy, too. I can introduce her to William. Kevin rk: Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Allonzo Hobson noticed Kevins murderous gaze and shrank back, Among all of us, Daisy hasnt met William yet. Arent you going to introduce them to each other? Hearing his words, Daisy Zane casually replied without looking up, I have something to do tonight, so I wont go. Kevin rk suddenly rxed. Allonzo Hobson hadnt caught the main point yet, and continued, Daisy, are you sure you dont want to meet him? William Lane doesnte to Imperial Capital often. This time he came back because of his sisters school matters, and we dont know when we can see him again. Kevin rk kicked Allonzo slightly. Allonzo Hobson found it inexplicable and moved closer to Daisy for her protection after looking at Kevin. Is Olivia Lane going to school? Yeah, Allonzo replied, William is definitely a sister-obsessed patient. He insisted oning back to personally send his sister to school, even though its just high school, and their parents could have done it. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly, After all, shes the little princess of the Lane Family. More like the ancestor of the Lane Family. Which school? Daisy asked casually while typing on the keyboard. I think its Gathering Joy Private. Allonzo said, Imperial Capital Royal Private High School. Daisy Zanes hand paused on the keyboard. The variety show that Director Nash mentioned also took ce in this school. I dont know if hell be able to graduate smoothly this time, Allonzo said while weighing an apple in his hand, Year after year, Im worried about William Lane. Daisy Zane stared at theputer screen and suddenly zoned out. But Allonzos sudden shout brought her back. She looked up to see Allonzo pointing at the TV, eximing, Daisy, look, look, look! This ne, isnt it the same as the one in your painting book? Hearing this, the people in the living room all turned to look at the TV. The press conference was introducing the ne of the Grain Rain Festival, Rainy Grain. The ne consisted of twoyers, the upperyer being diamond raindrops gradually decreasing in size from the center. The loweryer disyed tender sprouts of grain. Although it was not exactly the same as the one in the painting book, the design concept was the same. After watching the ne on TV, Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane. Allonzo Hobson was still ranting, This must be giarism! The designer is yson Ninevara! The chief designer of Spotlight! What a chief! He actually giarized! Daisy Zane: . Charles Amos looked up at Allonzo Hobson, whose face was flushed with anger, then shook his head helplessly.. Chapter 227 - 217: The Wicked Couple Chapter 227: Chapter 217: The Wicked Couple Trantor: 549690339 Brook Sister! He is giarizing! He is stealing! Allonzo Hobson continued to yell, We need to sue him. Juan Wright was stunned by his yelling, then he joined him: Really? Of course its true! Allonzo Hobsons finger almost poked into the TV, Its the same as what I saw in Brook Sisters painting book. Then we must sue him, Teacher, we cant take this loss. Juan Wright also said. Daisy Zane looked up at Juan Wright, wondering when she got an apprentice. Right, lets contact Austin Allen right now and sue him to death! Allonzo Hobson said while searching for his cell phone, What kind of chief designer is he, just a stinky giarist! Wheres my phone? Where did I put my phone? Charles Amos saw him spinning in circles looking for his phone and handed him the one on the sofa. Allonzo Hobson took it and searched for Austin Allens contact information: Im going to sue this dog designer until he cries and begs for mercy. How dare he giarize our Brook Sisters work, does he think were dead? Um Young Master Hobson. Daisy Zane called out to him as he was about to make the call. Brook Sister, dont worry about it, Ill handle it, we cant take that loss. Yes, Teacher, dont worry! Daisy Zane: . She nced at Kevin rk, who was watching her with a look of watching the excitement and not wanting to get involved. Then she called them out again: Hold on for a moment. Whats the matter, Teacher? Daisy Zane looked at the two of them calmly, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness. After a moment, she said, Is there a possibility that the work was designed by me? Yes, it was designed by you. yson Ninevara stole it! Allonzo Hobson said. Daisy Zane: . Charles sat next to Daisy Zanes legs, looked at her speechless face, then looked at Allonzo Hobson, and his childish voice resounded: My mom means to say, is there a possibility that yson is her? Charles low voice was like a huge rock smashing into the calmke, causing huge waves. All the people in the living room were stunned. Michael Jackson, Juan Wright, and Allonzo Hobson all looked at Daisy Zane, while Kevin rk also looked at her, with a yful smile in his eyes. After a while, Allonzo Hobsons phone slipped from his hand and fell onto the carpet, making a dull thud, breaking the frozen silence. Brook, Brook Sister I, I just heard Charles say you are yson. Yeah. Charles answered. Michael Jackson swallowed, his eyes almost popping out as he stared out straight at Daisy Zane, trying to console himself in his heart. Its okay, its okay. Michael Jackson, youve been through a lot. Youve been through her identity as Nameless, this is a small scene, you need to stay calm, stay calm. But thefort didnt work, and he couldnt manage his facial expression. Juan Wright wasnt in the fashion circle, so ysons identity wasnt a big shock to him, but he knew what kind of status yson had. So all he could think about was how powerful his teacher must be. The most affected was Allonzo Hobson, being repeatedly crushed in his familiar circle. She had already yed with the entertainment industry with her Flynn Ninevara identity. Now she stood at the top of the fashion circle as well. It wasnt just her ying with others in this circle, she could y with others directly in this circle. She could easily decide the fate of a person in this circle just by her casual words. Brook, Brook Sister Allonzo Hobson stepped on his cell phone and walked to Daisy Zanes side, You, you youre yson. Charles brought a small hairband for Daisy Zane to tie her hair. Daisy Zane took it,bed his hair by hand, and looked at Allonzo Hobson: Really? Doesnt it look like it? Like, like, like Allonzo Hobson touched his face and took a deep breath, Its too much like. Daisy Zaneughed, ignored him, and bent down to tie a half-bun for Charles. She then pinched his soft, tofu-like milk fleshy like a toy, and let him go y on the side. Kevin rk had been watching her, and after Charles walked away, he said, I remember yson has almost half of the shares of Spotlight. Daisy Zane: . Seeing her not talking, Kevin rk raised his hand and touched her face, I didnt remember it wrong, did I? No mistake. Daisy Zane looked at him, her expression indifferent and her voice unfriendly, Whats the matter? Kevin rk was taken aback by her question and immediately burst intoughter, So you just watched as I arranged your familys endorsement for you. Sixty percent advance payment is really tempting, said Daisy Zane, adding, As long as you dont raise the price of jadeite diamonds. Kevin rk: So you yed your boyfriend? Daisy Zane stared straight into his eyes with an imposing aura, First, you had the idea of raising the price from the beginningyou know whos fooling who. Secondly dont get friendly, I was single back then. Juan Wright watched as his Third Master was rendered speechless. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane looked at each other for a while before he admitted defeat: Its my fault. As long as you admit it. Kevin rk listened to her triumphant and indifferent tone andughed, Youre guarding a gold mine in D Continent. You sell gold to Felix Baker and make a fortune, and get even more with stock shares. Does Felix know? Daisy Zane: Why should he know? The shares I got are not as many as his. Michael Jackson gasped, her reasoning made so much sense. Kevin rk smiled, From now on, you can set the price of jadeite from D Continent and diamonds from F Continent for Felix. Earn more money and make your wallet fatter. Daisy Zane looked at him without speaking. Kevin rk patted her head, Its our own business, dont be polite. Allonzo Hobson watched the two of them, feeling like a big grudge seed. What a perfect match these two cunning lovers were! At noon, they all had lunch together, and in the afternoon, several grown men apanied Charles Amos to y in the backyard. On such a hot day, several grown men and a child each held a water gun, ying andughing. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk sat in the sunroom, enjoying the air conditioning while watching the group of people. Daisy Zane, writing a script,mented, Men remain boys until they die. Kevin rk smiled, peeled a grape, and offered it to her lips, Theres a fashion show tomorrow. Do you want to go? The Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts one? Daisy Zane asked, taking the grape without lifting her head. You know about it? Yes. Daisy Zane swallowed the grape, Did you get the invitation? Yes. Kevin rk peeled another one, My family received five invitations. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly. The Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts brand was well-known both domestically and internationally, with a strong influence. Although it was a rtively young clothing brand, its influence was on par with century-old international brands. The brands founders were Joseph Allen and Shopie Easton. Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts only made clothes, mainly womens wear, and asionally mens wear. Many domestic celebrities borrowed their haute couture dresses for red carpet events, and some tycoons and big shots also loved their regr wear. Every year, they sent invitations for fashion shows to these people, making the shows lively and exciting. It was not surprising that the rks received so many invitations at once. Want to go together and take a look? There are beautiful dresses, suggested Kevin rk. Daisy Zane looked up at him and felt like he was raising her as a daughter. Whats wrong? Kevin rk asked, seeing her strange look. Nothing. Daisy Zane lowered her head again. Shall we go? Yes.. Chapter 228 - 218: Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts Chapter 228: Chapter 218: Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts Trantor: 549690339 The press conference and show for Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts were held on the first floor in the banquet hall of Doomsday Hotel. The entire hall was decorated in an ancient style. The theme was a gathering of friends with musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The scene was filled with ancient musical instruments, chess games, pen and ink stones, and paintings. In addition to appreciating the decorations, guests could also create impromptu works and learn from one another. Everywhere was filled with cultural heritage, poetic and picturesque charm, and refined elegance. Many reporters gathered at the entrance, eagerly waiting for the arrival of various superstars. In attendance were not only domestic celebrities but also many foreign celebrities. The major media outlets by the door were all vying for a headline. Since the main entrance was surrounded by media, it was left for the celebrities. Others entered the conference hall through the side door. Daisy Zane also had several invitations, so she invited Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper to Imperial Capital to attend together. However, the two had selected a skirt for Daisy Zane at the vi for three hours, intending for her to shine in front of the media, yet she entered the conference hall through the side door with Arthur North. The two didnt dare to argue loudly and whispered behind her all the way. Today, Daisy Zane wore an ice-blue long skirt from her wardrobe. The skirt reached down to her ankles, creating a great sense of fluidity and a cool, ethereal feeling. The sleeves were made of ice-blue gauzeting, extending to the back of her hands, giving off a fairy-like aura. The neckline was a V-shape, not too deep, and just right. Simple and sexy, with a hint of coolness beneath the sexiness. Everything was just right. There were no additional adornments in her hair, only an ice-blue hairpin. The front of her hair was parted in three-sevens, with a slight curvature at the ends. It looked a bit messy andzy. In keeping with her clothes, she wore silver earrings. Her makeup was light as well. Regardless, her overall style was cool andid-back. No matter what, it would not diminish her inherent stunning beauty. The colder she looked, the more stunning and more difficult it was for people to look away from her. Daisys own heroic spirit was fully disyed. The skirt didnt weaken her sharp charm; it was more like her battle-wear that enhanced it. In order toplement Daisy Zanes cool andid-back style, Arthur North also wore a white shirt in the same style. The color of the cufflinks was the same as Daisy Zanes skirt. However, Third Masters temperament and looks could not be toned down just by wearing a white shirt. The sense of enchantment within his eyes only became more pronounced when set against the white shirt. Thebination of ancient elegance and enchantment was most captivating. When the two stood together, the contrast of their coolness and charm, and the harmony of their ancient elegance, made the entire venue lose its color. There were also media representatives inside the conference hall, but they had already been introduced. The attendees included not only public figures but also some nobles who should not be offended. As a result, each media outlet knew what could be photographed and what should not be photographed. Daisy Zane was not worried about being seen together with Arthur North. She didnt mind being known by others. After all, Arthur North had apanied her on set for two films, and the news should have spread within the circle. Her only concern was that Arthur Norths information should not be spread online. The decoration is pretty good, Arthur North said. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, Not bad. Arthur North stopped by a Weiqi endgame and asked, Do you know how to A little. After saying that, Daisy Zane looked at the game for a while, then picked up a white piece and ced it down. Instantly, the game situation reversed, putting the ck pieces at a disadvantage. Arthur Northughed, Thats not just a little. Third Master, do you want to rescue the ck pieces? Arthur North nced at her and picked up a ck piece, cing it on the board. Afterward, they stood in front of the board for fifteen minutes without deciding a winner. As Daisy Zane was twirling a piece between her fingers, about to ce it down, suddenly someone called out to her from behind. Lucia. Daisy Zane turned around and saw Austin Allen in a gray suit, wearing sses, and smiling at her. I knew it was you just by looking at your back. Austin said. Daisy smiled back at him. Austin smiled at her, then turned to Kevin rk: Third Master. Kevin nodded lightly. Hill Dawson, not far from them, was introducing people to Anisa Cooper. Hearing his voice, she came over immediately: Lawyer Allen. Sister Emily, youre here too. Yeah. Lawyer Allen, its been a long time since weve seen each other. Hill was very polite to him, as Austin had helped her with her divorce case at the time. After exchanging pleasantries, Austin turned to Daisy and asked, Lucia, have you seen my brother yet? Austin and Joseph Allen were brothers, one in the design industry and the other in the legal profession. They both worked hard to reach the top of their fields. Hill and Anisa looked at Daisy with an expression that said, How do you know everyone? Kevin was also looking at her, his expression indifferent. Maybe because of too many surprises, he had be calm. Not yet. Daisy replied. Hes on the second floor; shall I take you there? Austin offered. Lets wait until the press conference is over. Daisy said softly, So as not to disturb his work. Alright. My brother wille downter anyway, Austin said. Okay, Im going to help entertain the guests. Let me know if you need anything. Okay. When Austin left, both Hill and Anisa came over and looked at her together: You also know Joseph Allen! We have some acquaintance. You sure have a wide circle of friends. Hill walked back and forth in front of her, then suddenly leaned closer and asked, Can you get an endorsement deal? Daisy tilted her head back a bit: Anisa suddenlyughed out loud. Is there any chance? Hills eyes were sparkling. Hills eyes lost their sparkle instantly. It was as if the vast gxy had suddenly lost power. Daisy gave Anisa a look, and Anisa immediately led Hill away: Sister Emily, introduce me to some more people. After the two of them left, Daisy looked at the chessboard again, thought about it, and made a move. Only then did she look at Kevin, who had been watching her. Kevin gazed at her, then said after a moment, Little girl, the one who first called you Lucia, it wasnt Joseph Allen, was it? Mhm. Seeing her respond so readily, Kevin was stunned for a moment and then gently hooked her chin, Saying it so quickly, dont you worry Ill be angry. Whats there to be angry about? Daisy nced at him, then back at the chessboard, and casually said, Your move. Kevin: Seeing that he was not moving, Daisy looked at him again. As her gaze met his cool eyes, Kevin coughed lightly, picked up a chess piece, absentmindedly looked at the board for a while, and then put it down. His pale fingers, pinching the ck piece, fell on the board as if in a delicate painting. Daisys gaze moved away from his fingertips and surveyed the board, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly. With the fall of the white piece, the ck pieces were defeated. Third Master, you lost. Daisy looked at him, lightly raising an eyebrow. Kevin looked at her smug expression hidden beneath her exterior and narrowed his eyes: You did it on purpose, messing with my mindset. Daisysughter deepened, This is war is deceit. . Naughty girl. Kevin tapped her nose, What war is deceit? Youre just bullying me. And you even enjoy it. Daisy looked at his helpless expression, and after a moment, she turned her head slightly and began tough softly. Chapter 229 - 219 Press Conference (1) Chapter 229: Chapter 219 Press Conference (1) Trantor: 549690339 After Dawson Hill got divorced, her parents didnt return to the abroad, instead they stayed domestic to help her look after her child. Without her husbands mischief and her childs ties, Dawson Hill had more time to invest in work. Especially with an artist like Daisy Zane working under her. In the entertainment industry, Flynn Ninevaras status was as good as gold. Everyone in the industry would jump at the chance to form connections with Ninevara. Being Ninevaras agent meant that resources would naturally be shared with her other artists. So once Dawson Hill started focusing on her work, her workload increased substantially. She also intended to nurture Anisa Cooper, letting her handle some tasks when Daisy Zane wasnt working. Considering many people were present today, she decided to introduce Anisa Cooper to some people. Sister Emily, Amelia Miles also came. Anisa Cooper saw Amelia Miles entering hand in hand with John Anderson, and whispered it into Dawson Hills ear. Dawson Hill also looked towards the entrance. She just happened to catch sight of Amelia Miles wearing a short light pink dress, hair flowing freely. She had her arm linked with John Andersons and was waving to others with her free hand, a sweet smile on her face. Upon seeing her, Dawson Hill rolled her eyes and looked elsewhere: Petty. Anisa Cooper chuckled and said, Many people came today. A lot of them also brought their wives. Dawson Hill took two drinks from the side and handed one to Anisa Cooper: Just within this hall, societal sses are thoroughly divided. As she spoke, she nodded her chin towards Anisa Cooper to look: Look, that group. They are all rich housewives. That circle over there, they are a level below. That ce, they are all involved in arts. Eachmunity has its own unique characteristics, its clear as day to see whos high and whos low. Following her introduction, Anisa Cooper carefully observed. Whos that? Anisa Cooper suddenly noticed a very activedy, who was extremely enthusiastic with everyone, flitting between the various Madams. Having observed Madam, Dawson Hill thought for a moment and replied: She belongs to the Davis Residence of Truro City. Thats Liam Daviss mother. Liam Davis was pestering Lucia for quite some time. Ah, its her. Anisa Cooper said, She even came to the film set to look for Lucia. Really? What did she say? Im not sure, Lucia didnt let me follow. Dawson Hill took another look at her, then didnt say anything else: Lets go, Ill introduce you to a director. Alright. After Harton rk and Daisy Zane finished a round of chess, the two looked around. Some people came over to greet Harton rk, coincidentally stopping by an ancient guqin. Daisy Zanes attention was quickly drawn to it. After staring at it for a while, she unconsciously plucked one of the strings. The guqin emitted a deep and broad sound. Harton rk turned to look at her, instantly reminded of the Pipa in Truro City. The person who came to greet him took a hint. Seeing that Harton rk was distracted, he excused himself after a few words and left. Harton rk walked over to Daisy Zane: Have you learned it? No. Daisy Zane yed with the strings a little more, then drew her hand back, Have you? I no. Harton rk looked at her fingers and said, Ive watched others y before. Who? Daisy Zane was surprised upon hearing her own question. She couldnt understand why she would suddenly ask such a thing. Looking at her, Harton rk paused, seemingly reluctant he said, William Lane. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, she had never met Young Master Lane and couldnt imagine what he looked like. However, if it were Harton rk, she could picture it. The elegance of the antiques and the guqin it should be a good match. Sheughed, Young Master Lane is really multi-talented. Seeing herugh, Harton rks eyes darkened: I also y the piano very well. Daisy Zane looked up at him this man, was he soaked in vinegar? Harton rk leaned in closer to her: Dont I y well? Daisy Zane looked at his eyes, and after a moment, averted her gaze. This man only had the advantage of being handsome. Other than that, she would smack him eight times a day, Yeah. This agreement was half-hearted, filled with reluctance and perfunctory. Harton rk, hearing this, chuckled lightly. Daisy Zane didnt want to bother with him and causally plucked the gugin strings a few more times. After a while, Michael Jackson and Juan Wright came over. Lady Zane. Teacher. Referring to Juan Wrights pair of fox eyes, which were smiling innocently and harmlessly. Daisy Zane responded to the greeting of Lady Zane, but ignored the greeting of Teacher. Third Master. After calling Daisy Zane, the two of them then greeted Kevin rk. Michael Jackson said, Thedy has arrived. Kevin rks expression paused momentarily before looking at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane understood his gaze: I Kevin rk understood her intention, raised his hand lightly and touched her head: Let Michael Jackson and Juan Wright apany you. I will meet them ande back soon. Hmm. As the time of the press conference approached, the conference hall became increasingly crowded. George Dunn and Director Morris also arrived. George Dunn was invited by Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, while Director Morris was called over by Daisy Zane. Later, Daisy Zane met many acquaintances at the conference. Some were from the same drama crew and had worked together, and some came to greet her because of her identity as Flynn Ninevara. Daisy Zane could seem unapproachable, rejecting people harshly, but she responded politely to everyone who spoke to her, which was why she was constantly being approached. If she caught someones eye and was cast in a role, all the greetings would not have been in vain. Nana. Director Morris approached, Been looking everywhere for you. You were looking for me? Yes. Oh. Whats wrong? Director Morris asked. I just saw you hurriedly passing by me twice. Daisy Zane finished her statement and added: I understand. As we age, our vision isnt as good. Director Morris: Michael Jackson and Juan Wright bothughed. Director Morris nced at the two of them and asked, What are you having me here for? Whats the matter? Daisy Zane handed him a drink, Calm down. Im annoyed. Director Morris clinked sses with her, I saw that Billy Allen again. Hes over thereughing and joking around with a bunch of foreigners. Daisy Zaneughed softly: So he really came? Yes. Director Morris took another swig of his drink, then reacted, Wait, what do you mean? You knew he wasing? Just guessed. Guessed? Director Morris was a bit confused, Why would you guess that? Daisy Zane smiled again, her expression mysterious. Director Morriss mouth twitched. No matter how he looked at it, he thought her smile was a bit frightening. Director Morris rarely attended these kinds of events and didnt particrly enjoy them either. He was a bit entric, and when he didnt feel like talking to people, he ignored everyone. So, he just stuck close to Daisy Zane the entire time. The two of them got bored and started ying chess together. Director Morris suffered defeat after defeat, the quickest game ending in checkmate in less than 5 minutes. Director Morris was extremely unwilling to ept his loss and was about to start another game when Billy Allen suddenly approached them. Hi, Director Morris. Director Morris nced at him but didnt respond, choosing instead to continue setting up the chessboard. Daisy Zane was sitting on a bench, leisurely supporting her chin with one hand and arranging the chess pieces with the other. She sat upright with her legs crossed. Her body was slightly off-center, so her slender waist formed a pleasing curve. She nced at Director Morris and upon seeing his reaction, she raised an eyebrow. Then, she nced at Billy Allen. Billy Allen happened to look her way just then, and their eyes met. Billy Allen immediately greeted her with a smile. Chapter 230 - 220 Press Conference (2) Chapter 230: Chapter 220 Press Conference (2) Trantor: 549690339 Mu Yings smile was both eager and enthusiastic, with a hint of cunning and greed hidden deep in his eyes. A decent appearance, but not very likeable. At least if he had developed his career in China, he might not have been as popr as he is now. Mu Ying did not pay much attention to the attitude of Shang Guan, and went straight to look at Daisy Zane. He ced the wine in his hand beside the chessboard: This beautifuldy, can we get to know each other? Shang Guan suddenly raised his head to look at Mu Ying, his expression much more intense than just now. He wished he could tear him apart with his eyes alone. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright, who had been watching theings and goings of people near Daisy Zane, stood up straight when they saw Mu Ying put the wine down beside the chessboard. Both looked ready to ughter anyone who dared to covet their Third Masters woman. Eyes were not needed if they got in the way. Even George Dunn, who was chatting not far away, had his eyes on Mu Ying. He was closely watching Mu Yings every move, as if he was ready to pin him down to the ground at any moment. Daisy Zane looked at him, leaning on her chin, and sized him up and down with her eyes. Seeing her scrutinizing gaze, Mu Yings face showed a very confident smile and he straightened his back. In an instant, the muscles under his clothes propped up his suit. Seeing him like this, Juan Wright practically rolled his eyes and almost threw up the meal from the night before. Daisy Zanes expression didnt change at all. She finished looking him over, withdrew her gaze, and ced the chess piece she was holding onto the chessboard. Mu Yings gaze swept across her waist, and seeing that she didnt care about him, he chuckled, Thisdy, my name is Billy Allen. And yours? Daisy Zane did not raise her head, saying: Flynn Ninevara. Flynn?] Mu Ying paused for a moment. He looked at Shang Guan and then at Daisy Zane, and said, Are you the screenwriter? Mm-hmm. Daisy Zane replied softly. Mu Yingughed again, Then you must have heard of me? No. Daisy Zane still didnt look up, Who are you? Shang Guan felt a little better inside and turned to look at the chessboard, continuing to arrange the chess pieces. Mu Ying nced at Shang Guan again and quickly became convinced that she was just venting her anger: Miss Ninevara must have heard about me saying some offensive things. Yes. Shang Guan said sarcastically, Our ignorant selves are not worthy of knowing a great actor like you. Im afraid your artistry would defile us. Billy Allen sneered, ignoring Shang Guan, and instead turned to look at Daisy Zane: Miss Ninevara, my words may be unpleasant, but they are true. The domestic film industry is indeed not as good as abroad. Even those few films that have won international awards are not of high quality. As for the awards I can only say that they are a constion for your efforts. You son of a Shang Guan began to swear as he rose to his feet, but was quickly restrained by Michael Jackson. Causing a scene in such a venue would definitely make headlines. Daisy Zane paused with her hand for a moment, raised her eyes, and looked at him with anguid, indifferent expression. How? Daisy Zanes fingertip tapped on a chess piece. Nana, what are you thinking? Shang Guan whispered. Juan Wright looked at Daisy Zane, squinted his fox-like eyes, and had a feeling that someone was going to be in trouble. Mu Ying bent down slightly in a gentlemanly manner, closed the distance between them, and said, Miss Ninevara, if you be my girlfriend, Ill act in your script. Im a living signboard, you know. With me in it, you wontck influence. Juan Wright stepped forward and pushed Mu Ying back a bit, Mister, if you want to speak, just speak. Dont get so close. Mu Ying straightened his body, looked at Juan Wright, and frowned slightly, as if he was about to say something. But then he heard Juan Wrights fist clench and crackle, and he swallowed his words. He looked at Daisy Zane again and asked, Miss Ninevara, what do you think? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you should be well aware of my status. Shang Guan, out of breath with anger and having tried to stand up several times to no avail while being restrained by Michael Jackson, watched on. Unable to stand up and fight, he sat there, frustrated and unable to vent his anger. Daisy Zane looked at Mu Ying and smiled lightly, But I dont want Mr. Mu to be part of my script. You dont want me? Mu Ying asked, surprised. Yes, I dont want you. Daisy Zane insisted, I dont like the way you act. In other words, your acting skills dont pass the test in my eyes. Hearing these words, Shang Guan, who had been so furious he was about to take a heart-relief Dill. finally felt a little better. What?!] Mu Ying seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. You say my acting skills dont pass? I am an internationally renowned Best Actor, and you say I dont pass. Yes, thats right. Daisy Zane said calmly, Mr. Mu doesnt need to repeat it. Mu Ying sneered again, licking his lips: It is precisely because of your ignorance and stupidity that the domestic film industry remains stagnant. Its really sad! A great tragedy! Since Mr. Mu thinks its such a tragedy, then why not return to China and save the domestic film industry? George Dunn came over with a ss of wine, cing it beside the chessboard. He took the ss Mu Ying had left and forcibly shoved it back into his hand, Whats with this disdainful attitude? Mu Ying snorted coldly. Oh, right. Best Actor Mu doesnt think much of domestic productions. George Dunn continued, Mu Ying is an international Best Actor. Mu Ying nced at the group of people surrounding him, and finally let his eyes rest on Daisy Zanes face. He sneered for a moment, Such a beautiful shell, yet underneath lies a foolish, ignorant soul. Youre fucking asking for death. Juan Wright raised his arm, about to take action, but Daisy Zane stopped him in time. Mu Ying took a step back, intending to say something else, but seeing the expressions on Juan Wright and the others faces, he swallowed his words and left directly. Teacher, so were just letting him get away with this? Daisy Zane picked up the wine, took a sip: Being scolded by someone with such wed thinking should be expected. If he praised me, Id think he was insulting me. Juan Wright opened his mouth, suddenly feeling that there was nothing wrong with what she had said. And for some reason, he wasnt angry anymore. Michael Jackson smiled softly in admiration of her strong psychological resilience. When Kevin rk went to visit his mother, he realized what Michael Jackson had meant by Madam and them. His mother, his sister-inw Wood, Hugo rk, Hardy rk, and Bonnie Maxwell were all there, along with two of his sister-inws friends. With so many people, he didnt need to watch over them. Besides, rk Family members were always with them. So he greeted them briefly and left. But as soon as he turned around, he received a call from Roy Madison, who asked him about Olivia Lanes abduction by Henry rk. Kevin rk knew that for someone like Roy Madison who regarded his sister as his life, he wouldnt let the matter go until he had gotten to the bottom of it. So he went outside to take the call, briefly exining the situation to Roy Madison, along with his n to use Roys knife to kill Henry rk. This conversation took up some time. So much so, that he missed one after another hero saving the damsel in distress moment and lost opportunities to show off. Chapter 231 - 221 Press Conference (3) Chapter 231: Chapter 221 Press Conference (3) Trantor: 549690339 At the entire press conference show, some people came to watch the show, while others came to mingle andwork. Being in a position of power and influence, the rk Family naturally attended the show just to watch it. So, as soon as they entered, they went straight to their designated seats, waiting for the show to begin. Their seats were guarded by people from the rk Family, so even if someone wanted toe over and say hello, they couldnt get close without permission. Hardy rk sat next to his mother, looking around at the people in the conference hall. Seeing his wandering eyes, Calvin Stewart patted the back of his hand lightly: What are you looking at! Be more dignified. Nothing. Hardy rk said, bing slightly more well-behaved, but still looking at the peopleing and going in the hall. Calvin Stewart also followed his gaze and then looked at Natalie Wayne: Mom, do you think Third Brother came with his girlfriend? He usually doesnt attend such events. Having heard this, Bonnie Maxwells expression became slightly stiff. Natalie Wayne was also looking at the attendees, searching for Kevin rks figure: He must have. Otherwise, why would he be here? He always refuses to apany me to parties. Calvin Stewartughed: Mom, are you jealous? Natalie Wayne smiled and spoke softly: Im not jealous. Im just curious about what kind of woman could make him submit. A very beautiful one Calvin Stewart smiled, One Theo rk cant defeat. Bonnie Maxwell slowly clenched her fingertips. How could Theo rk not defeat Daisy Zane? With her thin arms and legs, Theo could snap her in half with one hand. Everyone believed Theo rks polite remarks too seriously. If Daisy dared to challenge her, she would definitely be able to pin her down, leaving her with no chance to fight back. The more you describe her, the more curious I be. I cant imagine her at all. Natalie Wayne said. Calvin Stewart held Natalie Waynes hand and said: Maybe shes Mn Liam or Grace Miller. After all, Third Brothers taste must be good. I cant even imagine someone who could catch her eye. While the two were casually chatting, Hardy rk suddenly spotted Daisy Zanes figure. His eyes lit up and he turned to his mother: Mom, Grandma, I see someone I know. Im going to say hello. Go ahead, go ahead, Natalie Wayne said. Be more dignified. Calvin Stewart reminded, Youre a grown-up. I know. As he responded, Hardy rk had already run off. Calvin Stewart: Meanwhile, Hugo rk also spotted Olivia Lanes figure. He excused himself from the group and left as well. Natalie Wayne looked at Bonnie Maxwell: ra, you should walk around too, you dont have to stay here with us. No need, Bonnie Maxwell politely smiled, Ill stay here, I dont know anyone here either. ra has been with her father in the Military District since she was young, so she rarely attends this kind of event, Calvin Stewart exined. Yes, Natalie agreed. ra is almost twenty-seven, she should get married. Bonnie Maxwells expression stiffened slightly but maintained a smile: Im not in a hurry, I want to spend more time with my parents. Calvin Stewart understood Natalie Waynes intention; she wanted to remind Bonnie not to keep her eyes on Third Brother: Even when youre married, you can still be around your parents. Look at me, Im over fifty and still run to my parents house every day. When you first got married, you too used to go to your parents house every day, Natalie Wayne chuckled, It made your mother think that you were suffering at the rk residence, so she came to me several times. Calvin Stewartughed. Natalie Wayne also smiled, then looked up and saw Daisy Zane in the distance, as well as Hardy rk. Tung, look at that. Over there, the girl next to Hardy, Natalie Wayne pointed and said. Oh my, whos that? Shes so beautiful, Calvin Stewart squinted and looked closely, Oh my, that aura is incredible. Mom, she could rival you. Bonnie Maxwell also looked over, and her expression instantly darkened. Her name is Daisy Zane, an actor and a great screenwriter. When Natalie Wayne saw Michael Jackson and Juan Wright, she thought they were following Hardy rk, so she didnt think much of it, I originally wanted to introduce her to Hugo, but it seems like Hardy likes her more now. Mom, if you like her so much, why not let Hardy marry her and bring her home. Natalie Wayne red at her: Hardy is so dishonest, definitely inherited from you. Calvin Stewartughed, then said after a while: They do lookpatible, but its just that shes not meant to be with our family. Its not a bad thing to not have fate. ra Mitchell suddenly said. Natalie Wayne and Calvin Stewart looked at her, asking, Whats wrong? I heard from some people in the circle that her behavior isnt very good. ra Mitchell looked at Daisy Zane in the distance, and her tone was somewhat unwilling to talk about others, Her rtionship with people around her is quite messy. Calvin Stewart stared at her, raising his eyebrows slightly: Really? Yes. ra Mitchell lowered her gaze, I have a good friend in the same drama crew as her. I often see different men visiting her at the drama crew. Almost never the same guy twice. Natalie Wayne looked at her, then picked up the tea nearby, sniffed it, and took a sip. Also, because shes a screenwriter, many young male actors have a good rtionship with her. ra Mitchell didnt say anything too extreme, but everyone could hear the meaning between her words. It was as if Daisy Zanes rtionship with those young male actors was too embarrassing, and she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. The entertainment industry is quite open. ra Mitchell said, Everyones very open to having fun, and its all the usual stuff, nothing else. Theyre all young, without restraint, so they naturally like to y. Calvin Stewart looked at Daisy Zane in the distance again, seeing his daughter talking to her continuously, and said: She doesnt look like someone who would be affected by those vulgarities. As Natalie Wayne looked up, Daisy Zane and Hardy rk had already left, and they soon disappeared from their sight. She whispered softly: Painting a tigers skin is easy but not its bones, knowing a persons face is easily done, but not their heart. Hearing her say this, a hint of a smile crossed ra Mitchells eyes. Calvin Stewart didnt say anything more either, and he felt that Natalie Waynes words just now were profound, not necessarily meant for anyone in particr. Daisy Zane apanied Hardy rk to eat something, and after a while, she went to the restroom by herself. As she came out of the restroom stall, Daisy Zane was about to go outside to wash her hands when she suddenly heard voices from the farthest stall in the restroom. Liam Davis, let me tell you,e here right now. Young Miss Lane is here at the showground,e over and meet her right away. Daisy Zane had no interest in what others were saying but stopped in her tracks when she heard the words Young Miss Lane. Mrs. Davis, in the restroom partition, lowered her voice and said: I just saw Miss Lane, shes very beautiful, much more beautiful than Daisy Zane. Youe over right now! If you cant see her tonight or get her contact information, where will you find her in the future! Not knowing what Liam Davis said on the other side, Mrs. Daviss voice became even more urgent. Whats so good about that Daisy Zane! No education and such a terrible background. It doesnt matter if shes an illegitimate daughter! Can such a good persone out of a ce like Cold Green Vige that cant even be helped by poverty alleviation! You really lost your mind! What kind of love potion soup did she give you Daisy Zane didnt listen to the rest, she went out of the restroom to the sinks outside, lowered her eyes, and washed her hands slowly. She waited until Mrs. Davis came out of the restroom, then turned off the faucet, and looked up at Mrs. Davis through the mirror. Mrs. Davis, dressed in dazzling jewelry, was taken aback when she saw Daisy Zane and immediately put on a haughty demeanor. It seemed as if she didnt care about anything around her. Oh, youre here too. Mrs. Davis went to the sink next to her to wash her hands, and said in a pretentious tone, With the little money you make from your acting, you mustve spent it all just to have the qualification to enter. Daisy Zane flicked the water off her hands and took a tissue from the side to wipe them. Then she turned her head to look at her and said: I have some advice for Mrs. Davis, as soon as you leave here, leave the venue immediately. Otherwise you might be thrown outter. Mrs. Davis scoffed, Do you think this Doomsday Hotel is yours, or that Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts is yours? Can you just throw whoever you want Daisy Zane didnt care about her words, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but the cold knives in her eyes said: And some more advice, control your mouth in the future. If I hear another word insulting Daisy Zane, I promise to make you watch your son and the entire Davis family crumble before you. Who do you think you are, you Mrs. Davis didnt finish her sentence when someone came in, and she stopped talking. She just red at Daisy Zane and left, stomping in her high heels. As Daisy Zane watched her retreating figure, a fleeting look of destion crossed her eyes, and she took out her cell phone to call Juan Wright Chapter 232 - 222 Press Conference (4) Chapter 232: Chapter 222 Press Conference (4) Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane really did make a phone call to Juan Wright, asking him to find an excuse to get Mrs. Davis out of the conference hall. One reason was that she was genuinely upset, and the other was to prevent Mrs. Davis from finding Olivia Lane. But what she didnt expect was that Mrs. Davis ran into Olivia Lane just as she left. Daisy Zane was on the phone when she heard the voices of the two. Instead of going out, she listened in the restroom for a while. Outside the restroom, not far away. Mrs. Davis looked at Olivia Lane, her eyes sparkling, and her face full of kindly smiles: Miss Lane. Olivia Lane was about to go to the restroom when she was suddenly stopped by her and hesitated. But seeing her full of smiles, she shuddered from the depths of her heart: You are At the moment when she was stopped, the Lanes who had been following her not far away all looked at Mrs. Davis. Like a falcon staring at its prey, they watched her every move closely. I am from Johnson Family in Truro City, and Davis Corporation. With a smile on her face, Mrs. Davis confidently introduced herself, My son is Liam Davis, now the person in charge of Davis Corporation. While listening to her introduction, Olivia Lane interrupted her: Why are you telling me all this? Mrs. Davis was stunned for a moment and thenughed: I saw Miss Lane twice at the conference hall just now. I think Miss Lane is very pleasant to the eye, and I particrly like Miss Lane. Youd better not like me. Olivia Lane said bluntly, You scare me. Listening to these words in the restroom, Daisy Zanes mouth lightly lifted. .. Miss Lane Dont call me. Olivia Lane interrupted her again, If you want to ask my family for help, dont ask me. I dont care about family matters. If you want to find a partner for your son, dont bother with me either. Im not interested. After saying that, Olivia Lane was about to go to the restroom, but Mrs. Davis stopped her again. Olivia Lane quickly avoided her hand, grumpily stomping her foot and hurriedly saying, Get out of my way! Miss Lane The Lanes immediately appeared and stopped her. Upon seeing them, Olivia Lane quickly entered the restroom. Mrs. Davis was still looking at Olivia Lanes retreating figure when Juan Wright came over. He nced at the Lanes and then looked at Mrs. Davis: From the Johnson Family in Truro City, right? You are Juan Wright and the Lanes revealed their identities and told Mrs. Davis: You are disturbing the order of the venue; please leave immediately. How am I disturbing the order?! Mrs. Davis questioned. Juan Wrights fox-like eyes squinted, a trace of wickedness shing through them: I dont care how you are disturbing the order. Either leave now or I will make you leave. That will be really embarrassing. On what grounds do you make me leave! Mrs. Davis red at him, Who are you? This is the Lanes territory. Since you know its the Lanes territory, Mrs., please. Juan Wright smiled and saw her ring at him with raised eyebrows. He gently raised his hand, and immediately the rk Family members came over. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Davis instantly backed down and suddenly took a step back. People had already started noticing what was going on here, and she couldnt afford to lose face. So, she gave Juan Wright a vicious nce and immediately walked towards the exit. Juan Wright and the Lanes nodded at each other, followed close behind her. They watched her like a thief, escorting her to the entrance. After Olivia Lane entered the restroom, she nced at Daisy Zane by the sink and quickly entered the partition room. She didnt expect that when she came out, Daisy Zane hadnt left yet and was still watching her. Olivia Lane turned on the faucet to wash her hands and looked at her curiously. Daisy Zanes eyes unabashedly stared at her as well. The young girl was tall and slender, wearing a light-colored pair of skinny jeans, her legs thin and straight. She wore a short-sleeved cropped top on her upper body, and her hair was tied up with a hairpin. From head to toe, she looked very refreshing. What are you doing! Olivia Lane turned off the faucet and wiped her hands, What are you staring at! Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and smiled, her voicenguidly said, Is it not okay to look? No way! So fierce. None of your business. Daisy Zane chuckled, then became more serious and asked, Little Miss, have you been in a rtionship? Olivia Lanes cold peach blossom eyes red at her irritably, saying with a cool and willful tone, How is that any of your business? If you dare to date someone while in high school, Ill tell your brother, Daisy Zane looked at her and said, Your brother might not do anything to you, but hell definitely not let the guy go. Olivia furrowed her brows, a mix of surprise, confusion, and annoyance on her face. Or I could tell your parents, Daisy Zane continued, From what I understand, your parents are more harsh with you than your brother. Of course, this understanding came from speaking with Kevin rk. You Olivia stepped forward all of a sudden, ring at her and saying, Even if youre Kevins girlfriend, you have no right to interfere with me. Kevin cant control me, so its not your turn. Up close, Daisy couldnt help but be drawn to the young girls features. Even Olivias defiance and willfulness seemed cute to her. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, Can you read the four words written on my face? What? Olivia was perplexed, What words? Loves to meddle, Daisy Zane said softly. Olivia Lane: Daisy Zane raised her hand and brushed Olivias bangs, saying, The Johnson family in Truro City is not the best ce to be. Stay away from them. With that, she left the restroom. Olivia Lane was left dumbfounded in the restroom for a moment before stomping her foot in anger. She wasnt a child, and she didnt understand why everyone was so intent on meddling with her. As Daisy Zane emerged from the restroom, Kevin rk was waiting by the entrance. Why so happy? Kevin asked. Nothing, just teasing a little girl, Daisys eyes crinkled into a smile. Seeing her happy, Kevin also smiled and then took her hand, saying, Lets go. The show has already begun. Hmm. As the two left, Hugo rk turned the corner. He caught Olivia Lane just as she was stepping out of the restroom. Olivia was startled, her entire body shook: Bro-Brother Enamel. You youre still here. She had made up an excuse to ditch him earlier, and now hed caught up to her again. Where else would I be? Hugo asked. Olivia forced a smile. She didnt care where he went as long as he wasnt around scaring her. His serious face, with few expressions, was just as intimidating as his Third Uncles menacing presence. Olivia smiled but didnt say anything. Hugo rk looked at her for two seconds, noticing that she was a little afraid of him, then spoke in a gentler tone, The show has begun. Want to watch? Olivia looked around and saw that there werent many people left. Yes, lets go. Alright then. Okay. Olivia slowly followed behind him, walking together to the conference hall. Chapter 233 - 223 Press Conference (5) Chapter 233: Chapter 223 Press Conference (5) Trantor: 549690339 The seating arrangement for the show in the conference hall had the front rows reserved, while the backside positions were more casual. Joseph Allen knew that Daisy Zane wasing and deliberately left a seat next to him open for her. However, Daisy Zane followed Harton rk, and her seat was five or six seats apart from Joseph Allens. With five or six people in between, sometimes Joseph Allen could not even see her. Even if he could see her, he could only catch a glimpse of her profile. The seating of Harton rk and Daisy Zane was also quite coincidental. It was just far enough from where Tom Wayne and his group were sitting that the two groups couldnt see each other. It was, however, easy to look up and see Amelia Miles on the opposite side of the catwalk. Daisy Zane didnt pay much attention to Amelia Miles, after ncing at her once, she never noticed her again. But Amelia Miles attention had always been on Daisy Zane and the exceptionally handsome man sitting next to her with an air of nobility and a strong aura. Hill Dawson sat next to Daisy Zane, while Anisa Cooper sat behind her. Anisa said indignantly when she saw Amelia keep looking in their direction, Why does she keep staring? Can I charge her money if she keeps looking? Why bother looking at her when there are so many beautiful clothes to look at? Hill Dawson said. Good point. Anisa watched the show for a while and said, The color palette for this years clothes is quite cold. Its for the winter season. The colors are chosen ording to the seasons. This is the traditional winter keynote color. Daisy Zane exined while watching, This years main theme is to cater to the cold tones of winter. This is a traditional color, bronze blue. Color of the beginning of ice. Harton rk looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Although her voice was cold and emotionless, he sensed her strong interest in the clothes. Moreover she was very knowledgeable. Apart from the main color, bronze blue, this outfit has a longeryer beneath the cuffs and the skirt hem in stone green, which is a traditional color and also a winter keynote color, the color of the ice joining. Daisy Zane exined quietly. This is the color of ice. Daisy, how do you know all this so clearly? Anisa looked at her in admiration. Although the official website stated that the main color for this winter was the traditional bronze blue, it did not introduce the other matching colors. For someone like Anisa, she would only say that the cuffs are in a dark green color and would not be able to specifically say the color is stone green. Daisy Zane gave her a go ahead and adore your Daisy look before continuing to watch the show. However, Hill Dawson felt that something about the situation seemed off. The clothing styles of Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts covered a wide range. There were trendy styles, vintage styles, Western styles, Chinese styles, a mix of Chinese and Western, a mix of ancient and modern, and so on. Moreover, not only were the main colors different every year, but the styles would also change significantly. The most important thing was that the clothes were always beautiful, eye-catching, and fashionable. No matter what the style or design, these three points would never be lost. Each outfit was stunning as soon as it appeared. And this years focus was entirely on the Chinese traditional trend. Not only did the elements on the clothes reflect it, but the designs also followed the Chinese style route. Some conveyed an air of elegance and sophistication, others exuded a sense of chivalry while some had an ethereal, otherworldly charm that seemed detached from the mundane world. The clothes resonated with the entire venue, giving it an elegant charm. The finale this year should still be the haute couture dress designed by Shopie Easton, right? Hill Dawson deliberately asked Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane nced at her, knowing she wanted to probe her rtionship with Joseph Allen, or with Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts. Hill Dawson looked back at her. After a moment, Daisy Zane lightly smiled and raised her eyebrows, I dont know. Hill Dawson: Really dont know. Yes. Daisy Zane really didnt know. She didnt go backstage, nor did she see the process. She didnt even know which design drafts Joseph Allen took from her. Joseph Allen, unlike Felix Baker, didnt need her to manage anything and never rushed her to submit drafts. When she submitted drafts, Joseph Allen would use them. Otherwise, thepany had many designers, Joseph Allen had his own designs and thepany would not be affected. As if afraid of putting pressure on her, Joseph Allen would always reassure her that as the chief designer, she had reached this position and didnt have to participate in designing every year. The most they discussed regarding thepany was the main color theme of each year. Hill Dawson looked at her again, thinking that she might be overthinking, so she didnt say anything and continued watching the show. At the end of the one and a half hour show, the finale was indeed a haute couture dress designed by Shopie Easton. The main color was bronze blue, with a silk fabric. From top to bottom, the bronze blue gradually lightened, and by the time it reached the bottom of the skirt hem, it had turned white. The white waistband echoed the white bottom, and it featured hand-embroidered plum blossoms. There were scattered diamonds on the dress. It was like an iceberg on a snowy mountain, shining cold rays of light under the sunlight. Pure and cold, the chill was intimidating. However, with the addition of the plum blossom embellishment, the coldness was softened by a touch of brilliance. It was a very high-ss design, and the silk fabric was very smooth. As the model walked, the skirt swayed, and with it, so did a divine aura, as if floating with every step. It was reminiscent of a reclusive master from the martial arts world. Divine and ethereal, yet free-spirited and full of charm. Ever since the model appeared, the scene was filled with exmations of awe. Shopie Eastons designs always had no overlyplicated decorations, they were simple and clean. But they always had a sense of luxury and left people amazed. Ah! Daisy, this dress is so beautiful. Anisa Cooper covered her mouth in awe and said, Does Shopie have no design bottleneck? Why are her designs always stunning every year? Daisy Zane said nothing. She had not yet encountered a bottleneck in her fashion design. Only when facing people like Felix Baker, who constantly pressed her for drafts, would she experience a creative bottleneck. Kevin rk looked at her and could feel her good mood since they arrived at the showground. It seemed that his little girl just hated shopping, but she still loved to see beautiful clothes. As he thought this, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly made two noises. Judging by the sound, it was Daisy Zanes phone. Just aftering out of the restroom, Daisy had given her phone to Kevin to hold onto. Daisy also heard the sound and looked sideways at him. Kevin took out the phone, held it in his hand, and said to her, Call me elder brother, and Ill give you the phone. Anisa Cooper was already leaning close to Daisy Zane, almost resting on her back. But after hearing Kevins voice, sheughed once and immediately moved back a little. Daisy Zane raised her phoenix eyes to look at him, showing a hint of chill in her beautiful eyes. Kevin smiled as he looked at her, genuinely waiting for her to call him elder brother. Daisy Zane looked at him for two more seconds, then suddenly closed her eyes, furrowed her brows, and reached up to cover her right eye. Kevins smile vanished instantly, and he asked with concern, Whats wrong? Is your eye ufortable? Whats going on? Did something get in her eye? asked Hill Dawson. Daisy, whats wrong? Anisa Cooper asked nervously. As a result, Daisy Zane, with her eyes closed, sensed the position of her cell phone and directly took it from Kevins hand. She grabbed the phone, opened her eyes, and sat down properly. The whole movement was smooth and fast. While the others were still stunned, Daisy Zane had already acted as if nothing had happened and opened her phone to check the messages inside. Hill Dawson: Kevin looked at his empty hand, hesitated for a moment. Then he looked at her, grinded his teeth, and with a hint of ferocity in his tone but gentleness in his eyes, he said, Naughty girl, you tricked me. Hmm, whats wrong? Daisy Zane raised her head to look at him. I Kevin squeezed her fingers a little tighter, then said in a deted tone, Nothing. What could he do? He had to spoil his little girl. Daisy Zane heard his satisfactory answer, lowered her head to look at her phone, and replied to a message. Anisa Cooper looked at Kevin, who seemed to have no choice but to spoil her, and lowered her head tough. But afterughing for only two seconds, she was stared at by Kevin. Her heart trembled, and she immediately dared notugh anymore. She even moved closer to Hill Dawson to hide. Chapter 234 - 224: That’s Kevin Clark! Chapter 234: Chapter 224: Thats Kevin rk! Trantor: 549690339 The message was sent by Joseph Allen. He asked her if she wanted to have dinner togetherter. Daisy Zane agreed. After that, Joseph Allen quickly sent another message: [Do you know Billy Allen? He said that he specifically flew back from abroad just to see you. Do you want to meet him?] Daisy Zane looked at the message and hesitated before replying: [Lets meet.] After replying to the message, Daisy Zane looked at the stage, which was about to end. Kevin rk noticed her intention: Shall we go? Yes. The two left the venue a little early and went out through the side gate to get some fresh air. Seeing that Daisy Zane had left, Amelia Miles also quickly got up and left. Are we not going back? After leaving the side gate, Kevin rk held her hand and walked out. After walking a distance from the side gate of the Doomsday Hotels banquet hall, they crossed the road and found a snack street. Mmm, I still have to meet someer. Joseph Allen? Kevin rk asked. Hes one of them. Youre even busier than me. Kevin rk said, helping her lift her skirt as they climbed up two steps, Is it hot? Its okay. Do you want to eat ice cream? Kevin rk asked her. Daisy Zane looked at him, a faint smile appearing in her eyes: Is there any up there? Yes. , said Kevin rk. We can eat an ice cream and then go back, theres still time. As the two walked towards the snack street, Amelia Miles followed them out and stopped at the door, not going any further. She just kept watching their backs. It was not until they had gradually disappeared from sight that she withdrew her gaze and prepared to return to the conference hall to find John Anderson. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw a woman not far behind her looking at her. The woman was wearing a red dress, and her already seductive appearance was enhanced by the sexy red dress. Amelia Miles looked at her, and the woman smiled at her before slowly walking over in her high heels. Hello, Miss Miles. Amelia Miles looked at her and said, You are My name is Bonnie Maxwell. Miss Maxwell? Amelia Miles asked. Bonnie Maxwell smiled and then looked in the direction where Kevin rk and Daisy Zane had left, saying directly: Do you know who the man beside Daisy Zane is? Do you know my sister? Amelia Miles continued to pretend to be innocent. Bonnie Maxwell stared at her: You dont need to pretend in front of me. I know all the things you two have done. I understand your character well enough, otherwise I wouldnte to you. Amelia Miles gave up pretending when she was seen through and noticed that Bonnie Maxwell also seemed to dislike Daisy Zane. She directly said, People like her cant have a good man beside her. There wont be any good man who would like her. Im not interested in her man. Miss Miles, if you really think so, you wouldnt be standing here. Bonnie Maxwell still had a smile on her face: Miss Miles, you want me to tell you the identity of this man, dont you? After all, his temperament is obvious, and it cant be exined by a simple background. Amelia Miles didnt speak. Bonnie Maxwell looked at her expression and slowly uttered a few words: Imperial City, rks Family, Kevin rk. Hearing her words, Amelia Miles pupils trembled violently. These words were like a basin of cold water pouring through her, making her feel chillingly cold and causing her blood to freeze. Especially the two words Kevins Family made her legs wobble involuntarily, and she staggered back a little. Bonnie Maxwell supported her, and seeing her reaction, she sneered in her heart but still had a faint smile on her face: Kevin, Third Master of the Imperial City. How, how could he? How could he like her? Amelia Miles couldnt believe it. Whats so good about her that would make Third Master rk Amelia Miles couldnt continue. In the showground, she had sat across from them and saw with her own eyes the tender and affectionate look the man gave her. Each gaze was filled with affection. Throughout the entire show, her eyes barely left her. How could it be possible, how could it be Kevin rk? Thats the rk family of the Imperial Capital, a ce she didnt even dare to dream of. You should know the rtionship between the Maxwell and rk families. I wouldnt lie to you. Bonnie Maxwell continued, Its really Kevin rk. Otherwise, do you think a little wild girl from the countryside could take down the Hobson family? Can cause the Miles family to go through this? Can clear udia Zanes name? Amelia Miless eyes were focused, looking at her. A fierce look in her eyes: Why are you telling me this? You dont need to worry about what I want to do. Bonnie Maxwell said, You just need to know that Kevin rk is Daisy Zanes boyfriend. Now it is just a boyfriend, but if they get married, what do you think will happen to your grandfather and your father? Amelias eyes flickered, but she didnt speak. Third Master rk is worth more than ten John Andersons. Bonnie Maxwell whispered, When the timees, your grandfather and father, for the sake of the Miles family and to win over Daisy Zane, what do you think they would Divorce. Its very likely that her father would reach the point of divorcing her mother. Even go as far as to deny that they are part of the Miles family. Amelia swallowed hard, her fists clenched tightly. The pain of her nails piercing her palms brought her to her senses: Will Third Master, who is known for his phndering ways, really marry her? Do you even believe in rumors? Bonnie Maxwell said, Before Daisy Zane, Kevin rk hadnt even touched someone elses hand. Then why did he fall for Daisy Zane of all people? Would the rk family allow such a woman to join their family? Let me remind you, Kevin rks mother really likes Daisy Zane. Amelia gradually couldnt feel the pain anymore, even having difficulty breathing. Seeing her like this, a sneer shed across Bonnie Maxwells eyes: Ive said all I have to say, its up to you now. With that, Bonnie Maxwell left. Amelia Miles stood in ce, unable to calm down for a long time. The rk family, the rk family, it was actually the rk family. How could she be so fortunate to have caught Third Masters attention? If it was the rk family, what would she do in the future? She would bepletely trampled underfoot and never be able to raise her head again. No, she cant let her marry into the rk family. Besides she cant just focus on John Anderson anymore. John Anderson is not the one. She should look further ahead. With these thoughts in mind, Amelia Miles suddenly lifted her head and saw the Doomsday Hotel sign. In the evening, it was particrly dazzling. That was the symbol of Imperial Capitals nobility. The Lane family, the young Master Lane yes, theres also the Lane family. If someone like Daisy Zane could cling to the rk family, she could also win over Young Master Lanes heart. The conference hall was empty, and the entrance was gradually crowded with people. Amelia Miles suddenly came to her senses and looked around. No one paid particr attention to her. She smoothed her hair, took a few breaths, trying her best to remain calm, went back into the conference hall and looked for John Anderson. On Snack Street, Kevin rk bought Daisy Zane an ice cream, and the two walked back. Daisy Zane ate as she walked, with Kevin rk by her side, helping her watch the road. Arent you afraid of being caught by someone? Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane took a mask from her seamless skirt pocket and gave it to him: You put it on. Kevin rk took the mask, held it in his hand without putting it on: What I mean is, in case someone exposes your romance. Thats why you wear the mask, Daisy Zane said, Im afraid people will say Im keeping a gigolo. Kevin rk pinched her face, Why are you so cheeky? Do I look like a gigolo? If you were a little uglier, you wouldnt. If I were a little uglier, could I still be standing here? Kevin rk thoroughly saw through her love for good looks. Daisy Zane stopped, looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, Your looks, they should be hereditary, right? This sentence directly stunned Kevin rk, and he looked nk for a while before asking, What? Daisy Zane also realized that her question had gone too far, and she blinked. Then she continued walking forward, scraping off a bit of ice cream with her spoon and putting it in her mouth, saying, Its nothing. Kevin rk subconsciously followed her, walked a few steps, and then silentlyughed. Theughter in his eyes and brows seemed like countless stars, twinkling and carrying endless beauty.. Chapter 235 - 225: Level 1 Alarm! Chapter 235: Chapter 225: Level 1 rm! Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk and Daisy Zane walked slowly back, reached the roadside, and waited for the red light. When the green light came on, they were about to walk when Daisy Zane took a step forward and stopped. Kevin rk also stopped: Whats wrong? My shoce is untied. Daisy Zane handed the ice cream to Kevin rk and started to fix her skirt, trying to squat down to tie her shoce. Seeing this, Kevin rk helped her stand straight, handed back the ice cream, and squatted down himself. Daisy Zanes feet unconsciously wanted to move back a little, but she didnt. She looked down at the top of Kevin rks head. She was wearing high heels today, with somewhatplicatedces that needed to be wound around her ankles a few times. They hade undone after walking for too long. So, Kevin rk squatting on the ground took some effort. At this moment, across the street. A car drove past the side gate of the Doomsday Hotel. It came out from the hotel entrance, went around a flower bed, and entered the side road. Calvin Stewart sat in the back seat, talking to Tom Wayne and ncing outside. With that nce, she suddenly saw something extraordinary. Stop the car! The driver hurriedly parked on the side roads parking space. Tom Wayne was also frightened: Whats wrong? Hardy rk in the copilot seat also looked back: Mom, whats wrong? Mom, look at that, isnt it Third Brother? Calvin Stewart pointed outside and said, Just across the street, under that streetmp. Isnt that woman Daisy Zane? Tom Wayne and Hardy rk looked over together. Then the two saw, about fifty meters away, under a streetmp, Kevin rk squatting in front of Daisy Zane, slowly tying her shoces. Hardy rk saw this scene and the corners of her mouth twitched a couple of times. Was that her Third Uncle? Would her Third Uncle, with those precious hands and noble status, squat in front of someone and tie their shoces? Hardy, look, is that your Third Uncle and Daisy Zane? Tom Wayne asked uncertainly. Hardy rk scratched her face: Yes, yes, I guess. Then the car suddenly fell into a strange silence. Hardy rk cautiously looked at the two elders in the back who were staring outside and held her breath, not daring to move. Meanwhile, across the street, Kevin rk stood up after tying the shoces. Daisy Zane looked at him and then at the half-eaten ice cream in her hand. After thinking about it, she asked Kevin rk, Do you want some? Kevin rk smiled: Is this a reward for me? I guess. Kevin rk raised his hand and put her wind-blown hair behind her ear. He touched her face with his hand and said, You eat it. Daisy Zane didnt give it to him again and took another bite, then crossed the street with him. Both of them walked at a leisurely pace. Daisy Zane held the ice cream in one hand and the spoon in the other, eating unhurriedly. Since Kevin rk couldnt hold her hand, he ced his arm behind her. He helped her watch the road while looking at her. In the car, Tom Wayne and Calvin Stewart kept their eyes on the couple, watching their interactions and seeing them walk together across the street. Tom Wayne suddenly realized she was wrong. She always thought that the cold Daisy Zane should be paired with the clean and cold Hugo rk. But after standing together with Kevin rk, She discovered that the most beautiful thing is the fusion of two conflicting beauties. The collision of coldness and enchanting allure,plementing each other, made both of them even more stunning. Together, they were steady, mature, and strong. Every frown, every smile, and every move were all in perfect harmony and blending. Mom, mom. After a while, Calvin Stewart looked at Natalie Wayne, Third Brother, he he As soon as she spoke, Natalie Wayne gradually regained her senses and noticed some clues. For example Hugo rks reaction when he first heard someone introduce Daisy Zane to him. Hardy rk had an extraordinary love for Daisy Zane. And that evening, Kevin rk inexplicably targeted Hugo rk, demanding him to pay triple the price of the skirt. AlsoJane Chesters reaction. It must have been Jane who personally taught Daisy Zane the opera depicted in the video, not the other way around. And Bonnie Maxwell always spoke ill of Daisy Zane. Natalie was puzzled: these two were unrted, Bonnie Maxwell kept targeting Daisy Zane for no reason. They all teamed up to deceive her. Natalie Wayne chuckled lightly, then turned to look at Hardy rk. As Hardy rk met her gaze, his little heart almost split apart: Grandma, why are you looking at me like that? What do you think? I I dont know. Natalie Wayne snorted and ignored her, saying to the driver: Lets go home. Then paused and added: Ill settle ounts with all of youter. Hardy rk pouted, his expression pitiful. After sitting down in the copilot seat, he immediately took out his cellphone and sent a message to Hardys Third Uncle. [Third Uncle! Emergency alert! Grandma saw you and Auntie! Shes going to settle ounts with us!] As for Calvin, after he slowly processed everything, he smiled and said: Mom, look, she and our family are destined. If she cant be the granddaughter-inw, shell be the daughter-inw. Although Natalie Wayne was angry that these rascals conspired to deceive her, she still liked Daisy Zane. She smiled and said, Then wont you two go from potentially being mother and daughter-inw to sisters-inw? Calvin was taken aback for a moment, thenughed. Thirty years ago, she gained a brother-inw who was younger than her own son; thirty yearster, she gained a sister-inw who almost became her daughter-inw. This fate was truly indescribable. When they returned to the conference hall, most of the people had left. Only a small number remained, chatting and greeting each other. Kevin rk was stopped by Hugo rk at the entrance and was told about some matters. Daisy Zane then went inside to look for Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper. But she encountered Billy Allen again. When Billy Allen saw her alone, he followed her again. Lady Catherine. Daisy Zane nced at him but didnt stop, and continued walking inside. Billy Allen followed her and said, I apologize for my offensive words earlier. Please forgive me, Lady Catherine. Daisy Zane ignored him. Billy Allen examined her for a moment and said, I was too abrupt earlier. I shouldnt have said those words in front of so many people. Now its just the two of us, and I want to ask Lady Catherine again, will you be my girlfriend? Daisy Zane stopped and looked at him. Billy Allen straightened his back, his smile full of confidence: Youve seen my conditions, and I believe you wont lose out if youre with me. Also Im going to meet Shopie Designerter. If the coboration works out, I could have Shopie design clothes exclusively for Lady Catherine. Daisy Zane felt that she had been holding back too much. If they were abroad, this man would have already been choked if he dared to speak like this in front of her. If Lady Catherine feels its too troublesome, Billy Allen continued, we dont have to formalize the rtionship. I wont be in the country for long. After I leave, well automatically end it. I wont let this rtionship be a burden for both of us.. What do you think? Chapter 236 - 226: Shopie Easton Chapter 236: Chapter 226: Shopie Easton Trantor: 549690339 Arthur North has always been confident in himself, especially in this circle. His status is always there, and he has never failed. So he thinks that Flynn Ninevaras not giving in is just ying hard to get. But the more she does this, the more interested he bes in the person before him. Lady Catherine, if you think my proposal is good. Ill see you in the hotel upstairster, Arthur North said, leaning in suggestively. Daisy Zane looked at him and then smiled softly, You came to China this time to meet Daisys designer to customize a wedding dress for your fiance, right? Arthur Norths smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened for a moment. Daisy Zane stared into his eyes, seeing right through him: I heard that your fiances family is quite powerful abroad. Arthur Norths face changed drastically. She knows about your flings, right? Even if she doesnt care Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, her fingertips twisting, You say what do you think those people in her family would do to you if they knew? As she was informedst time on the phone, Arthur Norths fiance had quite a significant background abroad. Arthur North has made quite a name for himself abroad, and anyone who deals with him would treat him with some respect. It is partly due to his fiances family background. ording to her research, his fiance liked Daisys designs. This time Arthur North came to China mainly to ask Daisy to design their wedding dress. But when he came to the conference hall today, she was guessing. She wasnt sure when he intended to meet her. What do you want to do? Arthur North suddenly lowered his voice, Since you know her family is powerful, you better behave. I have many ways, but you be careful not to pay with your life. Daisy Zane didnt take his words to heart, she continued: First, lets not talk about your affairs abroad. This time if the deal with Daisy doesnt work out, what will happen when you go back? How would you know it wont work out? Arthur Northughed, You think everyone is as shortsighted as you. Do you know how influential I am? Daisy Zane suddenlyughed at his words, somewhat curious about how a man in his thirties could still think that the world would stop turning without him. Just wait and see how you lose a big opportunity yourself. Arthur Norths tone was full of arrogance, You better think about it, after rejecting me today, will I let you continue in this circle? One word from me, and youll lose your job. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, and the look in her eyes gradually grew colder. Arthur North continued: Of course, if youe crying to me for helpter, I might bepassionate and give you a chance to live. Daisy Zane showed no emotion, looked up at the people in the conference hall, and nced at the CCTV cameras throughout the hall. Then she took a step back, tilted her chin, and gestured in the direction of the restroom. Arthur Northughed instantly, So cooperative. Daisy Zane remained silent. Her beautiful phoenix eyes and upturned eyshes turned icy cold. Arthur North smirked suggestively and turned towards the direction of the restroom. Daisy Zane clenched her fingers and followed him up. But after just two steps, a voice came from behind her, Lucia. It was Joseph Allens voice. Daisy Zanes footsteps paused, and she turned to look back. Arthur North stopped as well. Joseph Allen was seven years older than Austin Allen, but the two brothers appearances were very simr. Austin Allen habitually wore a pair of gold-framed sses and appeared schrly. While Joseph Allen didnt need any adornment, just standing there, one could feel his gentleness. It was as if he had a tolerance for everything. Gentlemanly and warm as jade. Lucia, whats wrong? Are you unhappy? Joseph Allen walked a few steps closer to her, his eyebrows soft and the corners of his mouth harboring a faint smile. Its nothing. Are you sure its nothing? Daisy Zane didnt respond. Seeing Joseph Allen, Arthur North also walked back and smiled, Mr. Allen Austin Allen looked at him, then nced at Daisy Zane and said, Best Actor Allen. Mr. Allen Billy Allen couldnt finish his words when Hill Dawson and his group suddenly walked over, greeting Austin Allen and Joseph Allen. Then they all stood beside Daisy Zane. Austin Allen looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked up at him and then introduced, My agent, Hill Dawson. Assistant, Anisa Cooper. You should know Morris and George Dunn. We are all friends here, Austin Allen said. Daisy Zane rubbed her fingertips and nodded. Mr. Allen, you know Lady Catherine, Billy Allen said. Upon hearing his words, Morris felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He restrained himself from cursing but still disdainfully scoffed. Austin Allen nced at Morris and asked Billy Allen, Do you know each other Yes, we No, we dont, Daisy Zane interrupted him coldly, stating directly, He wants to pick me up. Cough, cough, cough Joseph Allen choked upon hearing her words. The smile that always graced Austin Allens face suddenly froze, and his eyes also turned cold. He indeed had a heart that could amodate everything. But he had two bottom lines that nobody could cross. One was his younger brother Joseph Allen, and the other was Daisy Zane. Kevin rk, who had just walked over, also heard her words. He stopped a little distance away, the anger in his eyes like a dark sky before a storm, exerting an oppressive force. Hugo rk and Alonzo Hobson behind him both nced at him and then took a step away in perfect sync, fearing that Third Masters anger would affect them as well. Cough Billy Allens face also stiffened for a moment, then heughed and said, I was just joking with Lady Catherine. Dont take it seriously. So even Best Actor Allen makes such crude jokes, Morris said. You Austin Allen startedughing again, but this time his smile didnt reach the bottom of his eyes: Since its Best Actor Allens private matter, I shouldnt interfere. Morris heard this and clicked his tongue. Then he pulled Daisy Zanes arm back a step, whispering, What kind of lousy friends are you making? Lets go home and ignore them. If I stay a bit longer, I wont be able to help but curse here. Hill Dawson pulled his hand from Daisy Zanes arm and said, We only have some acquaintanceship. What do you expect him to do? Stand up and fight for her? Does Austin look like the type of person who would fight? Lucia, lets go back, Anisa Cooper whispered, I think none of them look like good people. But Daisy Zane didnt move. As for Billy Allen, he immediatelyughed again, looking victoriously at Daisy Zane and even raising an eyebrow towards her. He was just a step away from saying outright, Look how many people want to butter up to me. Mr. Allen, Im still waiting for you to take me to see the Shopie Designer, Billy Allen reminded Daisy Zane with a look. It seemed like a disying peacock, always showing off itself. Austin Allen smiled and nodded, Time is not early, lets meet now. Joseph Allen listened quietly, inhaling a deep breath, waiting for the drama to unfold. Great, Billy Allen said. Austin looked at Billy Allen, then turned to Daisy Zane and said, Lucia,e here. Kevin rks sight fell on Austin Allen. Meanwhile, Anisa Cooper pulled Daisy Zanes arm, suspecting that Austin Allen wanted Lucia to do something bad. Daisy Zane pinched her hand and let go of her arm. She went to Austin Allens side and looked at Billy Allen. Close up, Austin Allen looked at Daisy Zanes side profile and introduced her, The founder and chief designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, Sophie Easton. Best Actor Allen, lets meet.. Chapter 237 - 227: Sharp-tongued Chapter 237: Chapter 227: Sharp-tongued Trantor: 549690339 The conference hall was ying a very melodious song. But after Joseph Allen finished speaking, the music in everyones ears suddenly drifted away. Its as if the music and people were separated into two worlds. Everything around them became increasingly unreal. Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Xavier Dominic almost knelt down on the spot, he found out about Daisy Zanes two identities within just two days. yson Ninevara Shopie Easton Two domestic brands that have a foothold in the international market, and both have the same chief designer. What the hell Xavier Dominic walked over to Kevin rk, his voice floated, Arthur, Arthur North, can you talk to Brook Sister and ask her not to scare me like this? I cant take any more surprises; my heart is about to give out! Hugo rk, on the other hand, doesnt seem to have much of an expression, as usual, looking rather calm. He just nced at his third uncle. Kevin rks eyebrows twitched slightly, and the look in his eyes deepened. He had thought the little girl had something to do with Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts but did not expect their rtionship to be so big. It wasnt until Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts third year of establishment that it gradually gained fame, and it was during that year, after gaining attention, that Joseph and Shopie became known as the founders. But that was seven or eight years ago, how old was the little girl at that time? Based on the timeline, she should still be by Edward Kirstens side. With this thought in mind, Kevin rk sighed softly in his heart, feeling extremely annoyed. It seemed like everyone else had met his little girl before he did, and he was thest to meet her. The three of them on this side seemed rtively calm. Hill Dawson and the others stared at Daisy Zane as if they were struck dumb. Anisa Cooper gasped in astonishment, quickly covering her mouth. Austin Allen took out his cell phone and snapped a few photos of their stunned expressions. Hill Dawson was the first to react, gritting his teeth and saying, This is what you call a bit of acquaintance?! Then Anisa Cooper also reacted, Daisyyour so-called odd jobs couldnt have been being the chief designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, right? I had no choice but to do it for the sake of having clothes to wear Daisy Zane said, as if she was being forced by life. Anisa Coopers mouth twitched. Kevin rkughed when he heard it. Joseph Allen also chuckled. You, youre Shopie? Billy Allen finally found his voice. Daisy Zane looked at him and said softly, Yes. You, werent you yson Ninevara?! Hearing the words yson Ninevara, Morris suddenly reacted, So what? Cant yson also be Shopie? Who made that rule? You Daisy Zane looked at him coldly, Best Actor Allen, being self-aware is a virtue. Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts not only dont need your influence, but we also dont give a damn about it. Morris immediately understood the purpose of Daisy Zane calling him over today. All the boredom and frustration of this evening were worth it. Billy Allens face changed drastically, and he looked at Daisy Zane helplessly, Lady Shopieits all a misunderstanding. Whether its a misunderstanding or not, I know it clearly in my heart. Seeing that she had made up her mind not to agree, Billy Allen looked at Joseph Allen, Mr. Allen Joseph Allen caught his gaze and smiled, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts decisions have always been up to Lucia. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes. This guyover thirty years old and still not married. Billy Allen looked at Daisy Zane again, his pride and confidencepletely gone. He knew very well what it would mean if this deal fell through and he had to return home empty-handed. He had promised repeatedly beforeing that he would definitely close the deal. Best Actor Allen, arent you leaving? Lady Catherine, I apologize for my rashness tonight. Billy Allen, after careful consideration, clenched his fist and bowed slightly to Daisy Zane, Im sorry, please forgive me. Daisy Zanes expression did not change at all, and her eyes were tinged with an indelible frost, Arent you leaving? Seeing that she was not wavering at all, Billy Allens face began to turn pale, Lady Catherine, if youre willing, I can act in your script for zero ie. Youre not worthy! Morris said with his arms crossed. Billy Allen didnt look at Morris, just looked at Daisy Zane, waiting for her to change her mind. But this woman was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Daisy Zanepletely ignored what he had said, speaking slowly and gently, Since Best Actor Allen doesnt want to leave, I might as well say some things. Please speak. Billy Allens face was very pale, but he felt a burning sensation on his face. He had never been so humble and spoken this way to anyone outside. Even his fiance would save him face in public.. Chapter 238 - 227: Sharp-tongued_2 Chapter 238: Chapter 227: Sharp-tongued_2 Trantor: 549690339 This was the first time. He desperately wanted to kill the man in front of him, but no deal meant his end. The wedding date was already set, he couldnt afford to mess it up now. So, he had to swallow his pride. Daisy Zane nced at a chair not too far away, found it somewhat distant, then turned her attention back to him. She was especially good at hitting where it hurts. Obsessed with face-saving and unting his power. Well, she would just grind his dignity into dust. I remember Best Actor Allen saying that he doesnt value domestic films. Billy Allen swallowed, saying nothing. Daisy Zane said, Actually, I wasnt just spouting offst night, I genuinely dont rate you as a Best Actor. You think domestic films winning awards is to console their efforts. And I feel the same, that you winning the Best Actor award is to console your unpaid acting efforts in so many films. Billy Allens fists tightened until his knuckles were white. The muscles on his face also tensed to stiffness. Meanwhile, Joseph Allen walked toward the chair Daisy Zane was looking at. The film that you won the award for, I didnt find particrly impressive either, Daisy Zane nced at Joseph Allen and continued in a gentle tone, Its true, the production quality of domestic films has been somewhat subpar in past years. But recently, its no worse than the international ones. In fact, I think its even better. Thats what you say, Joseph Allen squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. In contrast, Morris was having a field day. Suddenly, the air of the conference hall seemed sweetly fragrant. Joseph Allen carried the chair over and ced it behind Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane sat down directly, arranging her skirt as she spoke, Everyone has different tastes, ideas, hobbies Everyone has the right to define beauty. There is no need to belittle others just because you dont like something. People who Daisy Zane paused, looked up at him, and saw right into his heart, People like that are genuinely awful. Hugo rk, hearing her words, suddenly had a change of heart about her. Two words floated into his mind. Strong and gentle. Strong in her ability to remain unfazed by everything. And gentle in understanding respect for differences. Also, she was quite the smart mouth. This seemingly cold person with few words, really knew how to hurl a stinger when confronting people. Not only was her fighting skill good, but her witty retorts were also sharp. She was perfectly matched with his Third Uncle. Kevin rk looked at Joseph Allen, then told Allonzo Hobson, This actor, wherever he came from, let him roll back to. I dont want to see him domestically anymore. Okay. The core of a movie is the story. Ive always believed that good movies are underpinned by good stories, Daisy Zane continued, No matter how impressive the special effects, no matter how detailed the technology, it is always supported by a good story. A story gives meaning. Different subjects, different genres, naturally the results are different. Every country has its own highlights, theres no need to use one characteristic to boast. Now, Morris was not just thrilled, but also pumped up. Rubbing his hands back and forth. Not just letting out his anger towards Billy Allen, but also the suppressed rage for being looked down upon for many years. Moreover, winning awards is not the only way to prove quality, Daisy Zane looked at Billy Allens disgusted expression, and gently raised her eyebrow, Some things, everyone knows in their heart, there is no need to explicitly state, right? Yes Billy Allens voice was like that of a mosquito. Daisy Zane felt a bit relieved, didnt look at him anymore, and inly said, Im done talking, as you wish Best Actor Allen. Lady Catherine Billy Allen did not expect that she talked so much but showed no sign of loosening up. But as he stepped forward, Austin Allen stood in front of him and passed him his business card, Mr. Allen, about the issue of you harassing Lady Shopie, I will handle it. Billy Allen nced at his business card, then turned to Joseph Allen, Mr. Allen Joseph Allen nodded to him and smiled, didnt say anything, but lowered his head and started talking with Daisy Zane. He told her about the dishes reserved for today, and asked if there was anything else she wanted to eat. Austin Allen shoved his business card forcefully into Billy Allens hand, then made a gesture asking him to leave. Morris, the oldest, was the most childish. He didnt wear sses today, his eyes full of arrogance were almost driving Billy Allen mad. He shook around in front of Billy, then gave him the middle finger, nearly triggering Billy Allen to hyperventte with anger. Seeing this and then looking at Catherine who was now blocked by the men, Billy Allen was reluctant but had to leave. He had been standing here, enduring humiliation for quite a while. If he continued to stay, it would be too embarrassing. When he left, Daisy Zane also stood up, looking in the direction he left. Morris immediately came to her, rolled up sleeves, and excitedly said, Catherine. Daisy Zane raised her arm, wanting to put it on his shoulder. But she caught eyes with Kevin rk standing not too far away. She bent her arm and patted Morriss shoulder, Feeling better? Absolutely, Morris said, I feel like my Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel meridians are about to open up. Mm. Mainly because youre older. I was afraid venting your anger would cause health problems. You Just as Kevin rk and the others approached, Morris didnt continue. Allonzo Hobson came over, paid homage to Daisy Zane with a fist and palm salute, Respect to you, Lady Catherine. Daisy Zane gave a faint smile. Hugo rk nodded as a greeting. Kevin rk walked up to Daisy Zane, raised an eyebrow and said, Can I get a discount when I buy clothes next time? Daisy Zane pondered for a moment, and said tly, Yes, 12% off. Kevin rk ruffled this mischief girls hair, then turned to look at Joseph Allen. Joseph Allen smiled gently, Third Master. Of course, he knew that they were together. Austin Allen told him when he was in Truro City. To him, as long as Daisy Zane is happy, it doesnt matter who she marries. He didnt harbor much hope. He just hoped that she would be safe, happy, and that he could see her often. Kevin rk responded softly. Joseph Allen said, I booked a private booth upstairs, lets have dinner and chat there. Okay, Morris said, I need a couple of drinks to celebrate. As the group was about to head upstairs, Daisy Zane turned her gaze to the direction Billy Allen left and said, You guys go first, I need to use the restroom. Joseph Allen looked at her, wanting to say something but decided to hold it in and look at Kevin rk instead. Kevin rk looked back at Joseph Allen, and then said, Ill go with you. No need. Daisy Zane put her hand in her dress pocket and said, You guys go first. Kevin rk looked at her profile and pondered for a while, Okay. Five minutes? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow, Can. ????? Morris and the others looked at each other, not catching what the two weremunicating in front of them.. Chapter 239 - 228: My Little Girl at Home Chapter 239: Chapter 228: My Little Girl at Home Trantor: 549690339 Parking Lot Billy Allen stepped out of the elevator, his pale face flushed with shame and anger. So many people, and that Ninevara Flynn had the audacity to humiliate him! He strode forward, as if trying to escape this ce. His once proud back slumped, looking utterly defeated. What kind of people dared to talk to him like that. Just because they designed better clothes, they think theyre so great. If it werent for that womans liking, this kind of person, selling clothes, wouldnt be worthy of carrying his shoes. They dare to belittle him. That Ninevara Flynn acted so aloof. Just a stinking woman who relies on men to get where she is! Billy Allen strode forward, and after walking a distance, he suddenly stopped. His chest heaving violently, gasping for breath. The hair held by hair gel had also fallen down. He clenched his hands, his eyes bloodshot. The humiliation written all over his face But if he couldnt get the job done, he couldnt go back; he couldnt report back. Where would he find Shopie Easton again if he left tonight? Go to Cloud Attire Rainbow Skirt Building? He probably wouldnt even get to see Joseph Allen. Standing still, Billy Allen took a deep breath, raising both hands to wipe his face and turned back. But as soon as he walked to a weight-bearing pir, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of his eye. His eyes saw it before his brain could react. He was pulled behind the weight-bearing pir. Two minutester, Daisy Zane emerged from the shadows of the parking lot. She wore a ck suit jacket over her skirt and a mask on her face. As she walked back, she wiped the bloodstains on her fingers with a handkerchief from her suit pocket. Before she came, Kevin rk gave her the mask. The suit jacket belonged to George Dunn. Reaching the end of a row of parking spaces, Daisy Zane lowered her head to wipe her hands and turned right. In another direction, two men happened to walk by. They barely caught a glimpse of Daisy Zanes retreating figure. The man in front wore a ck haute couture suit, tall and slender. His eyes were clean and noble, with slightly upturned corners. His pale pink lips slightly pursed. At first nce, the man looked extremely handsome, clean and mature, with a gentle and refined temperament. But upon closer inspection, one would find that there seemed to be an unresolved worry between his brows. His gentle eyes contained a hint of coldness. He was like a refined gentleman standing in the clouds, unattainable and difficult to approach. As he caught sight of Daisy Zanes figure, he abruptly stopped and looked towards the direction she had just been. As he turned his head, Daisy Zane went towards the elevator. Young Master Lane, whats wrong? the man beside him asked. William Lane looked back at the direction again, slowly shifted his gaze, closed his eyes and whispered, Nothing. Young Master Lane, you should go home and rest tonight. You have been busy since you came back. William Lane continued to walk, Its fine. I donte back often, so naturally, I have to handle more things when I do. The assistant didnt say anything more and followed him. They walked together. As they passed a weight-bearing pir, they suddenly came across two men from the Lane family carrying another man out of the shadows. Both men saw William Lane and called out, Young Master. William Lane looked at the man being supported by the two men. He was unable to stand on his own, probably not because his arms or legs were broken, but because he was in too much pain to stand. He kept making painful groans from his mouth and nose. The blood on his face seemed to be a mix of blood from his nose and mouth. Moreover, the mans head was tilted, his mouth open, drooling blood-stained saliva intermittently. In short, it was a miserable sight. Without any serious injuries, but enough to cause unbearable pain. Life would be worse than death. What happened? William Lane asked with a frown. Young Master. Its Third Master One of them spoke while ncing at the person they were holding. A strange surprise emerged in William Lanes eyes. Just a few minutes ago, he did receive a call from Kevin rk. Kevin rk said he would like to borrow a few people to help deal with some issues. Then he very sarcastically asked, Whats the matter? As a result, Kevin rk said it was to help him handle some things for the little girl in his family. The little girl in his family William Lane didnt know how to describe Kevin rks tone at that time. Anyway, after listening, he first felt goosebumps all over his body. And then, he realized that Kevin rk was showing off to him. William Lane looked at the person being held again, and asked, Was it you who beat him up? Kevin rk didnt tell him what had happened, just let him know that it happened in the parking lot, roughly which area. Someone had offended the little girl in his family. The little girl was going to take revenge. He asked his people to help him wrap up, and not to get involved in the rest. But beating someone like this He suddenly was not sure whether his own people had gotten involved or not. We didnt beat him up, said another person. It wasit wasThird Masters wifewho was particrly cruel with her hands. Obviously, she had been trained. We were just responsible for handling the aftermath of her strike. William Lane was silent for two seconds and then chuckled lightly. He let them take the person away. Looking at their retreating figures, he thought, What kind of godly character did Kevin rk find? He vaguely remembered that Allonzo Hobson seemed to have mentioned in their group chat. Kevin rks girlfriend is a formidable character. Formidable enough to be beyond the imagination of all of them. Looking at thiscould it be that he has found a tigress? Anyway, who could tame Kevin rk if not someone extraordinary. While thinking so, a light and quick sound of footsteps suddenly entered William Lanes ears. William Lane lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly. However, the assistant next to him looked in the direction of the sound but did not speak or move. A few secondster, William Lanes eyes were covered from the back. Olivia Lanes voice sounded, asking, Tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world? William Lane held her hand, pulling it down from his eyes, Of course, its our gentle and beautiful mother. Whats the matter? Do you want to rebel? I wouldnt dare. William Lane turned around, stretched out his finger, touched her forehead gently, and said softly, Done ying? Youre back? Yeah. Olivia Lane hugged his arm, Brother, where are you going to stay tonight? Home? Mom and Dad are at home, of course, I have to spend the night there. William Lane, with one arm hugged by her, continued walking forward. Oh, youre going back. When will you find me a sister-inw? Olivia Lane said, Kevin rk is a year younger than you, and he already has a girlfriend. Kevin rk, Kevin rk. Youre really disrespectful. You also call him by his name. Im older than him, William Lane smiled. You still have the nerve to say it. Olivia Lane pouted, Is it an honor to be one year older? William Lane chuckled, Did you also meet Kevin rks girlfriend? Yes. That day, we went to the Orchard Garden and happened to meet her. How is she? Hmmquite beautiful. William Lane raised his eyebrows. It must be very beautiful for his sister to say the word beautiful. Olivia Lane thought about it and said, She also loves to meddle in other peoples business. William Lane looked at her again.. What kind of evaluation was this? Chapter 240 - 229 Chapter 240: Chapter 229 Trantor: 549690339 After getting in the car, Olivia Lane checked the messages on her phone once she sat in the back seat. William Lane sitting next to her, fastened her seat belt: Youre such azybones. When youre around, of course Imzy. Youre pretty brazen about it. William fastened her belt and sat down himself. Of course. Olivia finished, put away her phone after a while, and casually asked, Brother, are you still leaving? Yeah. William responded, Ill take you to school the day after tomorrow, and then Ill go to F Continent. Is it really that urgent? Olivia frowned, Cant you stay a few more days? William stayed silent, lips pressed together. Olivia nced at him, her lips moved as if to say something but then swallowed it back. A few secondster, she spoke, Sister She might not be there anymore. Williams fingertips curled on his leg. After a moment, he looked out the window and said, But if shes not there, where would she be? Every possible location had been searched. Such a vast sea area, every method and technology avable had been used. In the end, only a longevity lock was found. As for her alive, she couldnt be found, dead William suddenly clenched his hand; he really couldnt ept any other oue. Ten years had passed, and the entire Lane family had been avoiding another oue. It felt likefort, yet also like hope. As the years went by, hope dwindled, but the search for her never ended C like a small me that would never burn out. F Continent has so many people, do you have to go there personally? Olivia asked. William remained silent, tacitly agreeing. Olivia stared at him for a moment, then turned her gaze back to the window and grumbled, Cant you spare more time to be with me? Olivia William looked at her, paused, and said, Im sorry. I dont need your apology. Olivia retorted, What good does saying sorry do? You all like my sister, not me. Hearing her words, William chuckled, Let me see, which ungrateful little person is saying this. Hmph. Olivia snorted. William reached out and grasped her wrist, gently pinching: Ill try my best toe home more often. Hmph. Olivia snorted softly again, showing that she found his words unconvincing. William said, You better focus on your studies. If you cause trouble again, I cant guarantee that Grandpa wont return from Oxford City and punish you. Olivia pursed her lips and fell silent. William looked at her and heaved a soft sigh. When Daisy Zane returned to the parking lot and headed to the elevator, a figure suddenly appeared from the side. She instinctively struck out with her hand. Her hand was faster than her eyes, and only then did she see that it was Kevin rk. Luckily, Kevin reacted quickly and raised his hand to grab her wrist. He even lightly pinched it, joking, Can this be considered domestic violence? Daisy loosened her grip and said, What are you doing here? Waiting for you. Didnt you ask someone from the Lane family to help? Why are you still waiting here? Kevin didnt answer this question, instead saying, Seven minutes. Youre overdue. I havent been active in a long time, and I didnt hold back. Kevinughed, Are you still angry? Daisy raised her brow, Its alright. Verbally venting her anger at Morris felt a bit better, but she couldnt help wanting to hit Billy hard, fearing that the next few days, or even ten days, wouldnt go smoothly. Now that youre not angry anymore. Kevin led her before him, removed her mask, How about relieving my jealousy as well? Daisy Zane looked up at him, the scrutinizing meaning in her eyes quite evident: Third Master, I think you should be more generous. For you, I cant be generous to anyone. Kevin rks narrow eyes stared at her. A sense of oppression slowly closed in on her. Daisy Zane blinked gently, very clearly feeling Kevin rks crazy possessiveness. Like drawing boundaries around territory, her own domain, not allowing any person the slightest bit of infringement. She kept herposure and said, So much effort? Im already restraining myself. Kevin rk swept her loose hair behind her ear. Sodo you want topliment me? Kevin rk didnt want to hinder her from making any friends. That was her freedom, and he had no right to interfere. But he couldnt control his own possessiveness either. He didnt want to see his little girl wearing other peoples clothes, nor did he want to hear someone calling her so affectionately. But unfortunately, his coat wasnt with him, and he couldnt force Joseph Allen to change his words. Nor could he change the positions of those people in her heart. Each of them was very important to her. He even felt that there was no difference between him and them in her heart. Whats more, if something happened one day, he could be broken up with and abandoned. But the rtionships between her and the others would never change. However he looked at it, his variability seemed greater. In a word, at present, he felt very insecure, so much so that he couldnt restrain his possessiveness. Daisy Zane stared at him as if she understood what Kevin rk was thinking. She suddenly took another step forward and then grabbed Kevin rks cor, pulling him into a bow and kissing him on the lips. Once, twice, three times Kevin rk had experienced being grabbed by the cor before. He understood her intentions the moment she moved. So the instant her lips pressed against his, he embraced her, taking the initiative and kissing her gently. In the vast parking lot, in this small corner, not exactly a hidden ce, someone could appear at any time. But between them, there was only each other, their souls constantly drawing closer. After a long time, Daisy Zane leaned against his chest, and Kevin rk finally let her go. She had applied a faint lipstick on her lips, which had been smudged around the edges. But the color of her lips was even redder than before. Kevin rk gently pecked the corners of her lips twice. His heart was racing fast, so his breath was somewhat rushed. He said with a smile, The lipstick got smudged outside. Daisy Zane didnt pay much attention to the remark. She loosened her grip on his cor and the clothes were now wrinkled. She took a light breath and asked, Has your jealousy subsided? Kevin rk took a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the lipstick for her. Half subsided. The other half youll have to digest yourself. Daisy Zanes voice became hoarser due to the cold, Hard to please. Kevin rkughed softly, Little girl, your difficult times are yet toe. Daisy Zane: Really? Your tone indicates disbelief. Daisy Zane didnt say anything, but her raised eyebrows showed defiance and provocation. Kevin rk wiped her lipstick and kissed her again, Be defiant, there will always be a day when youll be honest. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows again, took the handkerchief trom him, and wiped his lips too. The action was not gentle, somewhat casual. She stuffed the handkerchief back into his hand, turned around, and went to the elevator. Kevin rk put the handkerchief away and followed her. They waited for the elevator for a while. As the elevator was about to arrive, Daisy Zane suddenly turned her head and said, Kevin rk. Hmm? Dont worry, youre better-looking than them all.. Chapter 241 - 230: Go Find Something Good to Watch Chapter 241: Chapter 230: Go Find Something Good to Watch Trantor: 549690339 The lighting in the parking lot was somewhat dim and chilly. Daisy Zanes voice remained cold as ever, devoid of warmth or emotion. But Kevin rks heart was enveloped in warmth. As the elevator door opened, Daisy went in, but Kevin stood still. After pressing the floor number, Daisy put her hand on the elevator door and looked back at him, Arent youing? Upon making eye contact and hearing her voice, Kevin entered the elevator. The elevator door closed, and after a couple of seconds, Kevinughed and said, What if one day, Im not good-looking anymore? Daisy looked up at him, taking in his finely sculpted brows and eyes. She had to admit that people can be hypocritical. In her eyes, Kevin was always the best looking, no matter what. Hmm? Why arent you speaking? Kevin asked again. Daisy shifted her gaze from his face to the elevator door and said calmly, Then be careful. If youre not good-looking anymore, Ill find someone who is. Kevins smile suddenly disappeared. An overwhelming pressure filled the elevator. It weighed on their hearts, making the air seem even thinner. For the first time, Daisy was up close and personal with Kevins intimidating aura. While being somewhat shocked, she also detected a sense of familiarity. It was so familiar that she instinctively wanted to resist. But before this resistance could fully take root, Kevin suddenly leaned in, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pushed her against the elevator wall. Fearing she might hit the wall too hard, he cushioned her back with his hand. The next second, Kevin used his other hand to lift her chin and kissed her again. As the elevator door opened on the fifth floor, he pressed the close button. Daisy Zane: . After a while, she still didnt feel that Kevin was going to let her go. For a brief moment, she felt a touch of despair at the thought of her predicament. Moreover, Kevins aura was so intimidating that it made her think that he might kill her right there in the elevator. Daisy ced her hand on his shoulder and tried to push back against him. Resting his forehead against hers, a seductive red glint appeared in Kevins eyes, Little girl, you can be cheeky in the future, but if you say anything about finding someone else again, Ill get angry. Daisy genuinely didnt want to be near Kevin right now and she tried to push him away with more force. As he took a step back, he noticed a thinyer of moisture in her eyes and an unresolvable resistance lurking deep within. Stunned, his aura immediately diminished, and his tone became lighter, almost cautious, Are you mad? Looking at Kevin, Daisys hanging hand slowly clenched into a fist. In her memory, she had never met Kevin before. But this feeling What do you think? Could you still stand here? Daisy straightened up, patting down the wrinkled suit he had pressed against. Upon hearing her words, Kevins lips curved. He touched her swollen, reddened lips again, I mightve been too rough. Can you talk less? I can. Kevins voice softened, But you cant talk about finding someone else again. So persistent. Then she Looking at him, Daisy raised her eyebrows, pressed the open button, and walked out of the elevator, Lets eat. Im hungry. Kevin: He immediately followed her, Little girl, say something. Daisy remained silent. Say something. Daisy still ignored him. Third Master rk had never been so irritated before, especially after sensing Daisys resistance. He didnt dare do anything now. Kevin grabbed her hand, Just say something, even a little hmm will do. Daisy let him hold her hand, but still remained silent. It was only when they reached the booth that Daisy didnt say anything, ncing at a pitiful-looking Kevin before pushing the door open. A table full of people sat inside the booth, engaged in conversation. Furthermore, they had all left the two main seats open. Upon hearing the door open, everyone inside the booth looked towards the entrance. They then saw Daisy and Kevin standing there. One was aloof and indifferent, the other bewitchingly elegant, each with an aura too powerful to ignore. But besides that, there was something else intriguing. For example, Daisys lips were noticeably redder and more swollen than usual. Her suit was wrinkled at the front. As for Kevin, his lips were already red, making it difficult to see any difference. However, his white shirt cor was very conspicuously crumpled together. The moment Kevin entered the room, he immediately stopped looking pitiful. Seeing everyone silently staring at them, he surveyed the crowd with raised eyebrows. Their eyes nced over each person, and for a moment, everyones heart was pricked. At the same time, Daisy Zanes voice also resounded: Do you not want your eyes anymore? Everyone at the table except Joseph Allenughed, and the rest of them all averted their gazes, drinking tea, water, looking at the sky, or the ground. Morris pretended to adjust his sses, only to realize he wasnt wearing any Seeing that they were no longer looking, the two finally took their seats. Daisy Zane removed her coat and ced it on the back of her chair before sitting down next to Joseph Allen. Kevin rk nced at her and sat down next to her, with Hugo rk on the other side. Once they were seated, Joseph Allen motioned for the dishes to be served. Then he looked at Daisy Zane and asked, Lucia, have you been in the Imperial Capital recently? Yes. Do you have time to visit thepany? I just designed a few clothes, so go and see if you like them? Joseph Allen said, looking at Kevin rk helping her tidy her skirt hem. In a few days, Daisy Zane replied, Ill let you know beforehand. Okay. Joseph, did you give Charles Amos money again? Daisy Zane suddenly remembered. Kevin rk also looked at him. I Joseph Allen hesitated for a moment beforeughing, Howe you still sneak a peek at Charles money? That bank card he has is linked to my mobile number, Daisy Zane said, Dont give him money in the future. I give it to you, but you dont want it either, Joseph Allen nced at Kevin rk and said. Hearing this, Allonzo Hobson said, How about giving it to me then? I dont mind more money. Only you would take advantage of such things, Hugo rk snorted. Who wouldnt want more money? Daisy Zane smiled lightly and said, The clothes you make for me every year are worth more than my sry, so theres no need to give Charles money. The money Charles has now is enough for him to marry ten wives. But he said that 80% of it is to support your old age, and the remaining 20% is for buying you gifts, Joseph Allen said. He talks to you too? Mhm. Speaking of this, Joseph Allen was obviously excited and a bit relieved, He took the initiative to call me. Kevin rks fingers tapped lightly on his leg. This little brat was really friendly with everyone. Our little Charles Amos sure thinks far ahead, Allonzo Hobsonughed, Hes already nned for Brook Sisters retirement so many years in advance. Daisy Zanes eyebrow twitched slightly. Not only had he nned, but he was also very persistent. He knew she was prepared to leave him, so he stubbornly saved money for her old age. It was as if the more money he saved, the less likely she would leave. Charles Amos who is he? Hugo rk suddenly asked. The whole table suddenly turned to look at him. With this sudden focal point, the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment. Hugo rk looked at everyones reaction and hesitated for a moment before asking, Whats wrong? Across from him, Morris and George Dunn both lowered their eyes and took a sip of water before ncing at Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. The others, not answering, also looked towards Kevin rk. Especially Joseph Allen, whose eyes shed a subtle gleam. Kevin rk hadnt told his family that Lucia had a child in the rk Family Only Kevin rk and Daisy Zane appeared calm. Kevin rk poured Daisy Zane a cup of tea and said, Your cousin. Hugo rks expressionless face suddenly registered shock for a moment. His pupils trembled as he furrowed his eyebrows, My cousin? He knew how chaste his Third Uncle was: he would definitelv resDect the woman. No matter how much he liked her, he would never have a child before marriage and bring it into the rk Family. So there was only one possibility for this child Hugo rk looked at Daisy Zane, and Daisy Zane looked back at him. The two locked eyes for two seconds, and just as Daisy Zane was about to speak, Kevin rk held her hand, forcing Hugo rk to avert his gaze. Hugo rk looked away, suppressing the questions in his heart, and didnt say anything more. Moreover, this was his Third Uncles private matter, and he shouldnt interfere too much. After a few drinks and a lot of conversation, the dinnersted for more than two hours. And Kevin rk, the legendary figure who stood in the clouds and looked down upon all, was very polite to everyone because of Daisy Zane. With his wide range of knowledge, he could engage in every topic. Usually, Daisy Zane was quiet, and since she was among familiar people, she was rtively casual. She asionally spoke a few words, but most of the time she focused on eating. Kevin rk sat beside her, peeling shrimp and removing fish bones while chatting with the others. He even prepared a crab for her, only letting her eat one. Joseph Allen, sitting next to her, watched all of this silently, asionally handing her a couple of tissues. Gradually, he became reassured. Kevin rk took great care of this little girl. It was nearly impable. And looking at the nonchnt attitudes of the group, it seemed that this little girl was always taken care of this way. Chapter 242 - 231: Drunk? Chapter 242: Chapter 231: Drunk? Trantor: 549690339 After dinner, everyone went their separate ways at Doomsday Hotel. Since they all drank wine, those without drivers were sent home by the rk family members. Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper took a car back to Daisy Zanes residence. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane were in another car, going back to her residence. Upon getting in the car, Daisy Zane asked, Arent you going back with Hugo rk and the others? Going to your ce. Daisy Zane: . This feeling it really is like having a gigolo. What are you thinking? Nothing? Daisy Zane stole a nce at the slightly reddened corner of his eyes, then turned her gaze out the window. Kevin rk held her hand in his, gently squeezing it. The car moved smoothly along the road, with scenery on both sides rushing past. After a quiet moment in the car, Kevin rk seemed to strike up a casual conversation, How did you meet Joseph Allen? Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, thinking for a moment, About eight or nine years ago, I submitted a design draft to Joseph Allen, and then we got acquainted. That early, huh. Yes. Daisy Zane turned her head, looking at Kevin rks hand. At that time, I was still in Continent A. I identally saw the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts apparel online and fell in love with them. And then you took up fashion design? Kevin rk asked. Yes. I found it interesting, so I taught myself for a while. Daisy Zane nced at the scars on his palm, which had faded considerably due to medication. After submitting my work to Joseph Allen, we kept in touch. I would send him submissions every year. Apply the medicine every day, Kevin rk said, In time, the scars will be gone. Daisy Zane nodded, Joseph Allen really likes my designs, and I admire his designs as well. We sharemon interests and have always been on good terms. Moreover, after Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts gained traction, Joseph Allen ced me in the position of co-founder. Kevin rk could sense it. There was mutual admiration and attraction between her and Joseph Allen. Her rtionship with Felix Baker was more about intertwined interests, but with Joseph Allen, there were different feelings involved. Even without Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, they would still be close friends. I met Joseph Allen in person about two or three years ago. Hes a nice guy with a good temper and really looks out for me, treating me like a sister. Listening to her words, Kevin rks mouth curled into a smile. After talking so much, the little girl was afraid he would overthink, so she exined so much. Joseph Allen is indeed an admirable person. Kevin rk continued squeezing Daisy Zanes fingers, Both his parents died in idents. Back then, he and Austin Allen were both young, but he not only protected the Allen family, he also took good care of Austin. Daisy Zane hadnt heard much about this, but she knew that the two brothers had always been on good terms. The two brothers of the Imperial City Allen family are quite a legend, Kevin rk said, One standing at the top of the design circle and the other at the pinnacle of the legal profession. Joseph Allen appeared to be a gentle gentleman, but he certainly knew how to stab people with a soft knife. At such a young age, dealing with those wolf-like rtives and protecting the Allen family, he had to be skilled. However, fortunately, this man knew his boundaries and was truly sincere towards his little girl. Upon returning to the vi, it was alreadyte. Seeing that they had drunk wine, Uncle Wilton even had someone make hangover soup for them to drink. Then everyone returned to their respective rooms. After Daisy Zane came back to her room, she took a shower, and while drying her hair, she went to the French window. With one hand wiping her hair and the other holding a cell phone, Daisy Zane stood in front of the French window for a while before sending a message to Director Nash. She asked him if there was still a need for people on the variety show about attending school. She remembered that everything was almost ready. Just waiting for the official announcement. It was getting quitete, and she didnt make any phone calls. Sending out this message, she left things to fate to some extent. If she was needed, shed go. If not, she wouldnt. Its only two weeks anyway, probably wouldnt cause much dy. Moreover, she hadnt finished writing her script yet. After sending the message, Daisy Zane returned to her room. She left her cell phone on the bedside table to charge, and after wiping her hair a few times, she was almost ready for bed. But as soon as she turned off the bedsidemp, there was a knock on the door. She had already lifted one leg up onto the bed when she had to put it back down. She turned on the bedsidemp again and went to open the door. Upon opening the door, she saw Arthur North standing outside, wearing home clothes and looking tall. After showering, his original scent of eaglewood now had a hint of shower gel fragrance. His hair was down, and the tips were falling into his eyes. The sharpness he usually had was somewhat softened. His eyes at the corners were a bit redder than when he came back, probably steamed by the hot shower. Whats wrong? Daisy asked. I want to borrow half of your bed. Arthur said, leaning down to hug her. His deep voice close to her ear asked, Is that okay with you? What? Borrow my bed? Daisy felt something wasnt quite right. Did you break your bed? The bed isnt broken. Arthur embraced her as they entered the room, then kicked the door closed with his foot, But my room doesnt have you in it. Daisy Zane: ??? When did you ever have me in your room? Arthur North Im here. Daisy pulled his arm away, freeing herself and then took a careful look at him. Arthur didnt drink much, and she didnt know how much he could drink or if he could handle it. But he had quite a bit to drink tonight. After a while, she asked, Arthur North, are you drunk? No, Arthur held her face and kissed the corner of her lips, Im not drunk. Not drunk then whats with the nonsense? As Daisy was pondering, Arthur cupped her face with both hands and rubbed it: Miss, you still havent promised me that you wont say you dont want me and want to find someone else. Daisys face was almost distorted by the rubbing, so she pped away Arthurs hands and touched her face. Arthur, seemingly unaware of why he was pped, instantly looked hurt. Then he hugged Daisy again, burying his face in her shoulder: Im sorry. What are you sorry for? Daisy asked deliberately. Not sure, Arthur said softly, But if Miss hits me, she must be angry. Ill apologize first. Daisy raised an eyebrow. And he ims hes not drunk. I cant believe it. When they returned, Arthur seemedpletely fine and showed no signs of being drunk. He even chatted with her on the way. His voice, gaze, words, and pace were all normal, except for the redness in the corners of his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had just taken a shower, which elerated his blood cirction, causing the alcohol to go to his head. But he still walked steadily, his eyes were clear, and even the tone, speed, and mood of his speech remained unchanged. Its just that he was using all his normal behavior to say things he normally wouldnt. And his reaction was a bit out of sync. If it had been any other time, he definitely wouldnt havee over thiste, asking to borrow half of her bed for no reason. Daisy chuckled lightly. Then Arthur said again, Miss, you still havent agreed to my request. You cant talk about finding someone else. Daisy Zane: . Is he possessed? Chapter 243 - 232: Am I Drunk? I’m Pretending Chapter 243: Chapter 232: Am I Drunk? Im Pretending Trantor: 549690339 The room was only lit by themp on the head of the bed, casting a dim yellow glow throughout. It was warm and tender, soothing the heart. Kevin rk held Daisy Zane in his arms, his head buried in the crook of her shoulder while his warm breath tickled her neck. Daisy Zane felt a bit itchy, so she tilted her head and said, Kevin rk, get up. Promise me first. You havent promised me yet. Kevin rk spoke gently. When he spoke, her neck felt even itchier. Daisy Zane lifted her hand and pressed it against his forehead, raising his head. The corners of Kevin rks eyes seemed redder, and he looked at Daisy Zane with a mix of grievance and pity. Daisy Zane: . Will you promise? Shut up. Daisy Zane whispered softly. Kevin rks hand rested on her waist, and he looked down at her for a while. Then he buried his head on her shoulder again, Dizzy. You After Daisy Zane spoke, Kevin rk suddenly straightened up and then bent down to pick her up horizontally. Kevin rk Daisy Zane had just uncovered the quilt on the bed. Kevin rk gently ced her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, turned off the bedsidemp, and thenid down himself, hugging Daisy Zane who had just sat up. Kevin rk. Daisy Zanes arm strained against Kevin rk, her voice bearing a or coldness. Kevin rks voice was too gentle and carried a touch of pity: Miss, my head hurts. Daisy Zane: . With his strong embrace, Kevin rk didnt give Daisy Zane any chance to resist. Struggling against him was a waste of effort for Daisy Zane. If Kevin rk really wanted to do something by force, she would likely be powerless. So, after a while, she rxed her strength. Feeling her easing the strength, Kevin rk raised the corner of his mouth slightly in the darkness and whispered, I wont do anything. Just let me hold you for a moment. Daisy Zane ignored him. She didnt want to talk to a drunkard. Underestimating her, Kevin rk tightened his arms, holding her even closer and gently kissed her hair, I havent married my little girl yet. I wont do anything. Daisy Zanes fingertips curled slightly, and her eyshes trembled lightly. I just miss you too much. Kevin rk continued, I cant sleep. Didnt we just see each other before we came back to the room? That was over an hour ago. Daisy Zane: Alright. You have a point. Kevin rkughed, and then the two fell silent. Daisy Zane rested her head on his arm, listening to his strong heartbeat. In a short while, she began to feel drowsy. But just as her consciousness was about to drift into Austin Chaors, Kevin rk suddenly spoke again, his voice so soft it seemed to strike her heart directly: Miss, you havent promised me yet that you wont talk about finding someone else. Daisy Zane suddenly awakened, but her voice was muffled and dry, Isnt it over yet? If you promise me, Ill stop. You promised? Mm. Kevin rk kissed her forehead and held her tighter, Go to sleep now. Daisy Zane was really a bit sleepy, so she let him hold her like that. She closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep. Listening to her even breathing, Kevin rk leaned back slightly and looked at her sleeping face under the moonlight. When the young girl was asleep, her cold sharpness faded a little. Perhaps she really trusted him, she had no defenses, and her face even showed a hint of docility. As Kevin rk looked at her, he felt an itch in his heart. He always wanted to kiss her, to touch her. But he was afraid of waking her up. If she woke up again, she might kick him off the bed. His fingertips gently stroked, and Kevin rk looked at her for a moment, thenughed silently. If it had been in the past, he would never have believed that he would take advantage of drinking some wine today to act like a rogue and sleep in someone elses bed. But thats what he did. He did drink a bit too much, and indeed felt a bit tipsy after taking a bath. But he wasnt drunk either. Usually, even if he had this idea, he wouldnt allow himself to do so. So, using the excuse of being drunk, he climbed into the youngdys bed. This way it wouldnt ruin his image. He was just too drunk to control himself. Only this little girl, although she didnt say it, was still softhearted and let him have his way. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane for a long time before closing his eyes and deciding to sleep. But just as he fell asleep, Daisy Zane pushed him twice, groped and found his hand, and took it off her waist. Her voice was muffled, Move over there, its too hot. Pushing Kevin rk away, Daisy Zane turned over with her back to him, snuggled towards the edge of the bed, and went back to sleep. Kevin rk was stunned for two seconds, and looked at the distance between them, which in his eyes was already as far as the Milky Way. He lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees with the remote control. After waiting for a while, feeling the rooms temperature had cooled down, he went over and hugged her in his arms again. Daisy Zane frowned with her back to him and muttered, Hot. Not hot anymore, Kevin rk whispered, It has cooled down. Maybe it was this subtle hint that worked, for Daisy Zane didnt move again. Seeing her asleep, Kevin rk allowed her to use his arm as a pillow and kept it properly on the bed. The other arm was also very properly wrapped around her waist, his hand resting on her belly, not daring to move recklessly. Running to sleep in her bed was already too much; he couldnt bully his little girl anymore. The next day, a little past ten oclock. Everyone was up, but there was still no movement in Kevin rks and Daisy Zanes room. At exactly eleven oclock, the biscuits in the oven that Wilton Edwards put in were ready, but there was still no movement in the two rooms upstairs. Daisy Zane loved to sleep, and beingzy in bed at times was quite normal. However, Kevin rk, who had stayed here a few times, always woke up early every day. He didnt seem like ate sleeper. Wilton Edwards felt more and more that something was wrong, so he asked Charles Amos to go upstairs and check. Charles was asking Anisa Cooper and Melody Collins a math question. A just-graduated college student Anisa Cooper, who had never learned advanced math in college and had forgotten all her high school knowledge, and Melody Collins, who teaches her daughter basic math every day and is nearly forty years old. Both were deep in thought about the question. Neither of them wanted to admit to a child that they didnt know the answer. But they really didnt know. So Anisa struggled a bit, Charles, at your age, you should learn how to think independently. Little Charles looked at her with his round, innocent eyes. Anisa was made uneasy by the purity in his eyes but still insisted, Independent thinking is also a way to hone your abilities. For this question, the learning effect ispletely different when others tell you the answer and when you figure it out yourself. But Ive been thinking about it all morning, and I cant do it, Charles told her. Then think about it for a while longer. If you already know you cant do it, continuing to think about it is a waste of time, Charles said. Thats not the attitude you should have towards learning; you cant have that kind of mentality. Anisa: Melody Collins smiled. I know, you dont know, youre just stalling for time, Charles continued. Anisas attitude is also not good. If you dont feel shame in asking questions, youll progress. Just as Anisa was being educated by a child, Wilton Edwards called Charles away. He saved Anisa. Anisa copsed onto the sofa, My God. As expected Lucias son is no pushover either.. Chapter 244 - 233: Demanding an Explanation from You Chapter 244: Chapter 233: Demanding an Exnation from You Trantor: 549690339 Charles went to the upper floor to call Harton rk, looked around his room, and came back down. Then he ran to the living room and asked, Did Uncle rk leavest night? Whats wrong? Wilton Edwards furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and replied, No, I didnt hear any movement. Theres nobody in his room, Charles said. There are no signs of anyone having slept on the bed, but his cell phone is on the bedside table. Pfftcough, cough, cough, cough, cough Anisa Cooper spat out the water she had just drank. Wilton Edwards eyes suddenly widened, and his facial expression looked as though it had frozen in ce. Only Melody Collins remained rtively calm. She even thought that this development was more normal. The two of them had been together for a long time, and their rtionship had always been stable. Something should have happened by now. Otherwise, she would have doubted whether there was something wrong with them. Whats wrong? Charles asked in a low voice, looking at their reactions. Wilton regained his senses and quickly epted the situation: Nothing, nothing. Go y, Little Young Master. He then turned and ordered the kitchen to prepare several nutritious dishes. At 11:30, Daisy finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Harton rks handsome face up close. The annoyance of having to get up was greatly diluted. She had rarely seen a man with such good skin. Looking at him so closely, there wasnt a single w, and he was even more stunning. Awake? Harton rk had been awake for a while, but he took the rare opportunity to stay in bed. Daisy blinked her eyshes gently and looked at the sunlight outside. Is it thiste? Its fine. Get cleaned up, and well have lunch just in time. Daisy rolled over to lie t on the bed without hurrying to get up. She felt Harton rks arm and asked, Is it numb? Daisy closed her eyes again and asked, Does your head still hurt? Thanks to the little girls shelterst night, it doesnt hurt anymore. I should have kicked you outst night and let you sleep on the streets. You definitely wouldnt have the heart to. Daisy chuckled and sat up, then straddled Harton rk, grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table, and sat down to check her messages. Harton rk thought this little girl was not only treating him as if he wasnt a man but even as if he wasnt a person. She seemed to treat him like air, as though she couldnt see him at all. He sat up and hugged her from behind, kissing her cheek. Daisy ignored him, directly opening Director Nashs chat. He had replied to her message this morning. Telling her that they warmly weed her to join and sent another message, saying they would chat in detail over the phone when she had time. One time, Director Nash called her in the morning, waking her up. Since then, he would send a message first to ask if she was avable before calling. Are you going to that variety show? Harton rk asked. Yes, Daisy said. It looks fun. Harton rk raised an eyebrow. She used to be so firm in refusing, but now she suddenly found it fun. As Daisy brushed her teeth and washed her face, she spoke with Director Nash on the phone. Harton rk returned to his own room. He hadnt taken his cell phone with himst night. After returning to his room, he checked the messages on his phone. As a result, his phone was bombarded with unread messages and numerous missed calls. From his mother, his sister-inw Wood, Hardy rk, and his senior sister. If it werent for thetest message, he would have thought something had happened to his family: [Grandmother is very angry. The consequences might be serious. Why dont you bring Auntie with you to appease Grannys anger?] He almost thought something had happened to them. He briefly checked his messages. Most of them were about his mom finding out that he was with Daisy Zane. She was angry about how they had all conspired to keep this from her. So she called everyone to their home early this morning, nning to settle scores with them. However, the formal settling of scores had not yet begun. Because the protagonist of this incident wasnt present. Now everyone was facing Natalie Waynes cold gaze, not daring to speak or even breathe heavily. As a result, the axe hanging over their heads never fell, chipping away at peoples wills. so everyone was urging Kevin rk toe DaCK. lney wantecl a switt resolution. After Kevin rk roughly understood the situation, he turned off his cellphone and went to the restroom to wash and rinse. Then, half an hourter, he went downstairs to have a meal. At the dining table, after the servant brought up a nutritious dish for the third time, both Daisy Zane and Kevin rks faces didnt look so good. Especially when Kevin rk looked at the emia and codonopsis in themb soup, his forehead twitched. Wilton Edwards scooped a bowl for Daisy Zane first: Lady, have some. Daisy Zane nced at it and pushed the bowl towards Kevin rk: Let him drink it, Im fine. Kevin rk looked at her, his back teeth clenched tight. What did she mean by let him drink it, Im fine? He was also doing great, very great indeed. Daisy Zane reached for a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with her chopsticks, pretending not to notice Kevin rks gaze. Wilton Edwards immediately understood and fetched a bigger bowl, and scooped one for him: Third Master, please. Kevin rk: Hill Dawson pretended not to see any of this and ate his meal indifferently. asionally, he would pick some dishes for Charles Amos. However, Anisa Cooper hadnt reached his level of detachment yet. She bowed her head and bit her lip hard to prevent herself fromughing out loud because of Third Master rks aggrieved expression. However, Wilton Edwards paused and added another sentence: Please dont be polite, we have plenty more. Daisy Zaneughed, her head down. Kevin rk nced at herughter, grinding his teeth. He pushed the bowl back to her: Drinking it in advance will make it more effective. Be good, drink up. Daisy Zanes smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened as she looked up at him. His words suggested that something might happen to herter where she would be weak. Kevin rk stared back at her, his enchanting eyes exuding a dangerous vibe. Charles Amos, sipping soup with a spoon, watched the two of them. He identally knocked the spoon against the bowl, making a crisp sound. Breaking the silence that had arisen. Daisy Zane looked away first, then ced the bowl next to Charles Amos and said, Uncle rk said that taking it in advance works better. Kevin rk: There was really no need to take it that much in advance. Young Charles, looking at the untouched bowl of soup in front of him, wondered if it had been poisoned. His little face twitched, thinking to himself: This must be what they call getting burned when the city gates catch fire. Charles Amos, who had inexplicably drunk the soup, followed Kevin rk around after lunch. Since Kevin rk also drank the soup, Charles felt that they were both in the same boat. He kept following him, looking for a sense offort from having someone to share his misery with. After lunch, Daisy Zane went to the side hall to tell Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper about her uing variety show appearance. Hill Dawson was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this and then almost went outside to set off fireworks in celebration. She felt as if her wealth god had finally awakened. The trio then called Director Nash to discuss some details about the show. Charles Amos followed Kevin rk to the main hall, where they yed chess together. Within an hour, many messages and phone calls hade into Kevin rks silenced cell phone ced aside. Looking at the phone that shed asionally, Kevin rk thought it was about time to go back. He nced at Charles Amos. In a moment, he raised an eyebrow and said, Charles, youve used that piano for several years, right? Yeah. Lets go. Ill buy you a new one.. Chapter 245 - 234: Court Music Academy Chapter 245: Chapter 234: Court Music Academy Trantor: 549690339 What are you doing? Daisy Zane was listening to Hill Dawson and Director Nash talk when Charles Amos came over and tugged at her clothes. Uncle rk said hed take me out to y, replied Charles Amos. Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rk standing at the entrance of the side hall, then looked down at Charles Amos: Where to? Charles Amos pursed his lips and looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rkughed and said, Can it be a secret? Daisy Zane turned to him again, asking, When will you be back? After dinner, perhaps. You agreed to it? Daisy Zane flicked the little braid on Charless head. Charles nodded, affirming, Yeah. Daisy Zane looked at Charles, her eyebrows raised slightly. It was the first time Charles had willingly gone out to y with someone other than her and Wilton Edwards. And they were going to be out for a while. He wouldnt even go with James Collins usually. Alright, go, Daisy Zane said, Dont cause trouble for your Uncle rk. Okay, Charles agreed with a smile. Take your cell phone, Daisy said, If you want toe back midway, call me. Would youe and pick me up then? Charles asked, his eyes sparkling. Wishful thinking, Daisy Zane pinched his little face yfully, What do you think the driver at home is for? The light in Charless eyes disappeared in an instant, Oh. Go ahead, Daisy Zane repeated, Dont disturb my work. Charles: As he headed towards Kevin rk, Charles grumbled inwardly. This woman truly has her heart figured out, shes clearly worried about me, but she is pretending not to care. Charles could see it, and naturally, so could Kevin rk. He said, Dont worry, Ill make sure to bring him back safely. As you wish, hes all yours now, said Daisy Zane casually. Just as he reached Kevin rks side, Charles: . Kevin rk looked at his speechless little face and took him away from the side hall, saying, Its okay. Theres no different if hes with me. We all be a family sooner orter, its the same. His words werent uttered carefully enough to keep the volume down, and naturally, the three people in the side hall heard him. Even Director Nash on the other end of the phone heard it. So, should I call you daddy? Charless voice suddenly increased a few notches. Kevin rk could tell this little guy was deliberately saying this so Daisy could hear. But his heart still beat a bit faster. He nonchntly said, Would you like to call me that? Little Charles paused for a moment, then turned to sneak a peek at Daisy Zane. The two of them made eye contact, and her icy stare scared him. He quickly turned back and said, I, Ill listen to my mom. Kevin rk could see hiscent little state, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled upwards. The revolt hasnt even started before it was suppressed. Not only did Kevin rk take Charles to buy a piano, but he also introduced him to his old teacher. Alex Justin, one of the two top elders of the Royal Court Music Academy and a world-ss piano master. He is over seventy this year, and Kevin rk has been learning piano from him since he was five. He is also his most sessful student. But since rk wasnt interested, the old man had been upset about it for quite a long time. KC Manors doorstep had almost been worn out by him. But Kevin rk was adamant about not continuing Charles has a lot of talent, and Kevin rk knew that Alex Justin would adore him. And when Charles saw the que of the Royal Court Music Academy, his eyes lit up. Alex Justin was pleased with Charles, but after years of feeling that Kevin rk was thwarted, he was still discontent every time he saw him: Hmph, this is your way of making up for the loss, sending me a younger version? He likes it, hes talented. You should nurture him, Kevin rk said. Dont you like it? Dont you have talent? Alex Justin huffed, Still, when you say you dont want to learn, you quit. Kevin rk simply smiled without saying a word. Alex Justin didnt talk about this any further but bent down to look at Charles, Kid, how about I take you as a disciple? You can learn piano from me. Charles looked at him, his eyes full of joy. There was pure happiness in his eyes, without any adulteration. But he said, I have to go home and ask my mom. He sounded just like a little adult, but the words that came out still revealed the child who needed his moms agreement. Alex Justin turned to Kevin rk, Hey, it turns out youre not in charge. Kevin rk didnt deny it. How peculiar, youre always so assertive. There are actually things you cant control, said Alex Justin. Yes, his mother is in charge, chuckled Kevin rk, But you cant have disciples. At most, you can have grand-disciples. Mind your own business, I will take him as my disciple, and I want him to treat you as a brother. So what? Kevin rk gave him a look, then patted Charles on the head, saying Lets go, back home. No need for his teachings. Hey! Hey! Hey! Third Master rk! Alex Justin first held Charles Amos hand, then said, Sure, apprentice, apprentice is fine. As he spoke, he led Charles Amos by the hand and took him into the room. Little Charles followed, ncing back at Kevin rk. Kevin rk nodded at him, then the boy confidently followed Alex Justin. Alex Justin took pen and paper to jot down his personal contact details. Kid, this is my contact. If someone at home doesnt allow you to learn, call me and Ill personally go to your home. Charles looked at the note in his hand, then at Alex Justin. He carefully put the note away and thanked, Thank you, Grandpa. Oh, such a good boy. Alex Justin patted his little braid. Kevin rk and Charles Amos didnt stick around for long and left after sitting for a while. The Court Music Academy is located in a courtyard with five entrances. It includes both western instruments and traditional ethnic instruments. It is particrly renowned worldwide for its ethnic instruments. So, as the two left from the backyard and walked into the courtyard, they first heard some Western instruments being yed. After walking a bit further, they heard sounds of traditional ethnic instruments being practiced. Little Charles followed Kevin rk, curiously looking around. As they left another courtyard, Charles tripped on a step and almost fell. Luckily, Kevin rk was able to steady him in time. Do you want to eliminate me? Dont you want me to safely take you back? I didnt notice the step. Did you sprain your ankle? Kevin rk had all the patience for Daisy Zane and Charles, Can you move it? Charles held onto his trousers and moved his foot. Im fine. Be careful. Kevin rk patted his head. Okay. Just as the two were about to continue walking, a voice suddenly came from the right, Third Master rk? To the right was a small bamboo forest. Through it, they could faintly see two figures under a corridor. Kevin rk led little Charles forward by his small hand. The two figures also happened toe from the corridor. A man and a woman. The man was dressed in a white robe with a jade ornament on his waist. His hair was partially gray and his face showed some wrinkles. However, he had a tall, straight figure. He resembled a bamboo, refined and beyond convention. He was another elder figure of the Court Music Academy, Charles Flores. And also the founder of the Court Music Academy. Currently, he is the leader in representing traditional ethnic instruments to the world. He was considered a national treasure. Master Flores, said Kevin rk. Charles Flores responded and then looked at Charles Amos. Third Master rk came to see your teacher again? Yes, nced at the woman holding a Pipa behind Charles Flores, Does Master Flores have a new apprentice? Charles Flores shook his head andughed, without intending to exin too much, Someone from the Academy. Shes quite talented. I n to guide her for a couple of days. The woman looked to be in her twenties. Upon seeing Kevin rk, her eyes widened, and even her breathing became quieter. However, Kevin rk didnt pay attention to how the woman looked. He just thought that if Charles Flores said she was talented, it meant she must be outstanding. Charles Flores was a very picky person, and hardly anyone could meet his standards. Over the years, he trained only one apprentice. It was heard that he was extremely fond of this apprentice at the time. Third Master rk. Charles Flores suddenly signaled Kevin rk to move to the side. Kevin rk immediately led Charles a few steps to the side. Little Charles eyes remained on the Pipa the woman was holding. The woman also smiled as she watched him. However, after Charles nced at her, his gaze returned to the Pipa, showing no interest in her. Third Master rk, Charles Flores dropped his voice, Have you heard from L Campbell? Kevin rks eyshes fluttered slightly, Not yet. Charles Flores sighed softly, the beautiful fingers behind his back subtly quivered, Third Master rk, I have nothing else. I dare not ask about Lane Familys matter, fearing it would touch on painful memories. I can only bother you. If there is any news, you will be the first to know, said Kevin rk. Good, good. Thank you, Third Master rk. After talking with Charles Flores, Kevin rk left with Charles Amos. Seeing him continuously staring at the Pipa, Kevin rk asked, Do you like it? My mom likes it, Charles responded, She ys it really well. Have you heard it? Kevin rk looked down at him; what was with this show-off tone? Oh. You havent heard it. Charles mimicked Daisy Zanes indifferent tone. Kevin rk: Doesnt she y for you? Charles continued to ask. Kevin rk looked down at him, his narrow eyes filled with a chill. It felt like a dark cloud was pressing directly towards little Charles. On receiving this gaze, Charles promptly shut his mouth. He was adaptable and knew when to keep quiet. Meanwhile, the woman following Charles Flores remained gazing at Kevin rk. Even after he left, she turned to look at him three times until she could no longer see Kevin rk. She finally stopped turning back. Chapter 246 - 235: Make a Deal Chapter 246: Chapter 235: Make a Deal Trantor: 549690339 After leaving the Court Music Academy, Kevin rk took Charles Amos to the dessert shop. He ordered him quite a bit of stuff and even let him eat an ice cream. As he was eating, Kevin rk said, Charles, Ive done so much for you today, dont you think you should help me as well? A scoop of ice cream in Charless mouth suddenly couldnt be swallowed. Eyes wide open, he looked at Kevin rk cautiously. He had a feeling there was no such thing as a free lunch. What? Dont you want to help? Kevin rk asked. Charles swallowed the ice cream in his mouth, looked at him, and said, If you guys get married, I have no objection. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, So I passed the test? Charles pursed his lips and nodded his head. Kevin rk smiled. He hadnt spoiled this brat for nothing. So, would you like to do your part and help us get married? Kevin rk asked. Help how? Charles looked at him, his big eyes blinked. He hoped that this wasnt about living together with them. Theres a beautiful grandmother that needs your help toe around. Kevin rk said. Grandmother? My mother. Kevin rk tried to appeal to the childs sense of fairness, I took care of your mother, you take care of mine. Isnt that fair? The small tuft of hair on top of Charles head, shaken by the indoor air conditioning, fluttered about. Doubts surfaced in his eyes. This sounded likehe was getting the short end of the stick. Seeing his confusion, Kevin rkughed and said, If you help me, Ill help you with the apprenticeship. Charles hesitated immediately. He took a bite of ice cream and thought for a moment, But are you sure I wont make things worse? Kevin rk didnt expect him to ask this. He was slightly taken aback for a moment, then he reassured, The beautiful grandmother will definitely like you. Really? Yes. said, If you get her toe around, it would alleviate one of Daisys concerns. As soon as Daisy Zane was mentioned, Charles didnt hesitate and immediately agreed, Okay. Seeing him agree, Kevin rk smiled and took a sip of water from his ss. Since his mother already knew, he might as well tell her everything all at once. This would alleviate Daisys worries and avoid unnecessary trouble. Charles was going to live in the rk family sooner orter, so they ought to find out about him sooner rather thanter. Daisy didnt say it explicitly, but she cared a lot about Charles. Even though Charles wasnt rted to her, he was a child she had brought up. She was worried the rks wouldnt like Charles, that they would treat Charles poorly. What worried her the most was, if the rks treated Charles badly, her boyfriend would be the first to suffer. And ultimately, the person who would be hurt the most would be Charles. Charles was different from other children. He was wise beyond his years, with a mature mindset. He would feel that he was the reason Daisy couldnt get married. He would me himself. Charless mental state was fragile, and one misstep could send him tumbling back into his reclusive shell. Thats why Daisy would proceed with this cautiously. So he had to address this concernpletely. Besides, it would be better for them to meet in person than to exin things verbally. He knew his parents and he knew Charles. Charles had been brought up by Daisy, he had her qualities and would surely be liked by his parents. His parents were also very open-minded. Yet, if he had just verbally reassured Daisy that his parents would like Charles, she might think he was merelyforting her, and not believe him. So its better to prove it with actions. He was a hundred percent sure of this, otherwise, he wouldnt have casually brought Charles here. Most importantly, once his mother takes a liking to Charles, shed forget about scolding him. Shed also be tired after spending nearly a day venting her anger. It was about time that anger dissipated. What happened to the beautiful grandmother? Charles suddenly asked. I angered him, Kevin rk said lightly. How can you still be irritating your mother at your age, Charles Amos retorted disdainfully. Charles gave him a youre so thoughtless look. Kevin rk chuckled: Youre still young, you dont understand. Your mom wanting to be angry at you, and you irritating her, knows no age. Charles thought about this sentence and felt as if he was being scolded. Then Kevin rk paused and said: But Ive never been beaten from my childhood. Charles, whose weakness was touched: Seeing his resentful little eyes, Kevin rk mercilessly provoked him with a lift of his eyebrow. Charles pressed his lips, sighed heavily in his heart. He was still a child, why wont anyone cut him some ck. Leaving the dessert shop, Kevin rk took Charles home. When the car stopped in front of the rk Manors gate, little Charles was stunned by the dazzling, pce-like building. He dumbly followed Kevin rk, almost tripping at the entrance by a barrier higher than his knees. Kevin rk held his hand and said, Dont stumble. Little Charles snapped back to reality: Is this your house? Yep. Have you seen it before? Charles pointed to the west: Theres a holiday hotel on the mountain over there. You can see this ce from the top floor. Grandpa Edwards brought me there. Do you like it? Charles nodded, looking around curiously. After a while, they finally reached the front hall. Just getting to the entrance, Little Charles felt a wave of repressed air rushing over him. He gripped Kevin rks hand tightly. Kevin rk smiled down at him: Its okay. Rx. The moment the two stepped into the entrance, the few silent people sitting in the front hall immediately turned to look. Their expressions were like youre finally back, you have no idea what weve been through, and behind these expressions, they all looked ready to devour someone. But when their eyes moved down and saw the child, the surprise and confusion instantly appeared on their faces. So you know toe back? Natalie Wayne didnt even look at him when she heard his steps, I was about to report you missing. Charles, seeing everyone in the room looking at him, naturally leaned closer to Kevin rk. Elina rk was also staring dumbfounded at this childhood. It wasnt that she hadnt seen children before. She had never seen Kevin rk holding a childs hand. Kevin rk had found kids irritating since he was a teenager. She only remembers Kevin rk holding the Lane Familys oldest daughters hand when he was a child. He didnt even hold Hardy rks hand when she was a child. Most importantly, why does this child look somewhat like Kevin rk? Of course I know to return to my home, Kevin rkughed. You remember this is your home. Natalie Wayne said as she turned her head to look at him, Tell me, how many days in a year do you spend at home in your home. Natalie Wayne saw the child by his side, her tone instantly softened, and her words stuttered. Mainly because Charles pair of dewy big eyes made it hard for people to be stern. Now, everyone in the room was looking at Charles. It seemed like a group of monsters staring at a little cub. Kevin rk gripped Charles slightly sweaty little hand and said: Call out to grandma. Natalie Waynes eyes widened a bit more, looking at Charles. Charles also looked at her, waited for two seconds, let go of Kevin rks hand, moved half a step forward. Then he pursed his lips, and with a slightly trembling voice, said: Hello, beautiful grandma. Hearing his sweet words, Kevin rk chuckled. The little one sure knows how to tter.. Chapter 247 - 236: Dream… Chapter 247: Chapter 236: Dream Trantor: 549690339 Everyone in the room stared at little Charles, shocked, curious, and unbelieving. An eerie atmosphere enveloped the living room, making the air seem thinner somehow. After little Charles called out Beautiful Grandma, nobody else spoke. Even the chirping of the birds outside seemed to have disappeared. Seeing that no one was talking, little Charles turned to look at Kevin rk. Kevin patted his little head to calm him down and introduced Elina: This is Grandpa. Charles looked at the dignified grandfather, paused for a moment, and said: Hello, Grandpa. Elina quickly recovered her senses, shifted her buttocks on the sofa, and hurriedly switched from dignified to kind, responding: Ah, hello, hello. Kevin smiled and then introduced Calvin Stewart: This is Aunt. He called out again: Hello, Aunt. You, hello, hello, Calvin replied. However, it was clear that she had still not recovered from the shock. Afterward, Kevin introduced everyone else, and little Charles greeted each person in turn. Everyone responded, but they were still bewildered. Seeing that Natalie Wayne still hadnt reacted, Elina pulled at her clothes. Natalie finally came to her senses and looked at Kevin, fiercely calling out his name: Kevin rk. It had been many years since his mother had called his name with such coldness and severity. Little Charless heart pounded with fear. Generally, if Daisy Zane called him like this, he would get beaten within a minute. He nced at Kevin. Seeing that Kevin was not afraid and even smiling, Charles silently wondered: Is this what its like to be scolded when you grow up? Can you really smile about it? Can you actuallyugh it off? Kevin lifted his hand, holding Charless little head and making him look away from himself and towards Natalie again. Little Charles hesitated for a moment and then quickly regained hisposure. However, he didnt take any action, but instead, looked back at Kevin as if to say: Can you ensure I wont be beaten? Whether Kevin understood the meaning of Charless gaze or not, he forcibly turned the boys head towards Natalie again. Charles: Natalie saw their silent exchange and looked down at Charles. Little Charles pursed his lips, his expression looking like he had been tricked into entering a wolfs den. His facial expression amused Natalie, who waved him over: Child,e here. After seeing her smile and her gentle and beautiful appearance, Charles hesitated and then walked up to her: Beautiful Grandma. Natalieughed and then held his hand, pulling him closer: Ah, do you really think Grandma is beautiful? Grandma is beautiful and young. Kevin raised his eyebrows, seeing that he was no longer needed, and sat down on the sofa. Natalies smile deepened as she heard Charles words: Come, sit next to Grandma. And what about me? Calvin Stewart asked as she sat down near him, Am I beautiful? Great Aunt is beautiful too. Hahahaha Calvin touched her face andughed, Look at this, look at this. This child has good taste. I also think Im beautiful. Charles pursed his lips and smiled politely. Kid, whats your name? Elina asked, How old are you? Charles, nine years old. Calvin and Natalie exchanged nces, then turned to look at Kevin in unison. Kevin nced at them but didnt say anything; he lowered his gaze and began to pour tea. Natalie didnt intend to ask too many questions in front of the child, so she turned to Charles: Nine years old? Are you in elementary school? Charles nced at Kevin, nervously answering: No. Hm? Calvin frowned in confusion. Natalie called the servant to fetch some cakes. He doesnt go to school. Kevin poured the tea out, examining the color of the tea and then poured it again, making a new pot. Why? Natalie touched his little curly hair, feeling its soft texture. He always made the other ssmates in his ss feel like they had intellectual problems, and the school didnt want him anymore. Kevin rk said while making tea. Charles Amos: The elders in the living room fell silent for a moment before they all started tough. Dont spread rumors, I clearly chose not to go on my own. Charles Amos retorted. Youre so in the right for not going to school. Kevin rk nced at him. Charles puffed up his small face like a little pufferfish, looking at Kevin rk. This man tricked him intoing to his house, and his attitude changed immediately. He felt used. But he still needed him for the apprenticeship matter, and he spent a lot of money on the newly bought piano. Well let him use it once. Although no one asked about the childs background, and Kevin rk didnt say anything, since Kevin brought him back, he must be significant. The rks understood his intentions and wouldnt make things difficult for a child, of course. Moreover, the little Charles was beautiful, very clever, and good at reading people. So Elina rk and Natalie Wayne indeed liked him very much. While their parents attention was focused on Charles, Kevin rk nced at Hugo rk. The look said, Are you all not leaving yet because you havent seen enough cold eyes? The Senior Sister was still ying with the children following Natalie Wayne and didnt notice Kevin rks gaze. It was Hugo rk who reacted immediately, grabbing the absent-minded Hardy Park who was staring at the children. He said, Grandfather and grandmother, we have some things to deal with, so well leave first. Hardy rk also responded, Ah, yes, yes. We have things to do. Once they started talking, the smile on the Senior Sisters face froze for a moment. Natalie Wayne nced at the group, then lowered her head and looked at Charles Amos, For Little Charles sake, lets forget about this matter. Hugo rk nced at Kevin rk, who had allowed them to suffer a day of cold eyes due to him. He hid for a day doing nothing, then brought a child back as a shield. Teacher, I definitely wont dare to do it again in the future. Senior Sister said. Natalie Wayne snorted, You better not dare. Hugo rk and Hardy rk both said, Thank you, grandmother, and hurriedly left. They had already endured a day of cold violence, and they couldnt stay any longer On the rks side, all was peaceful, and with little Charles Amos, Kevin rk narrowly avoided a scolding, enjoying tea in the living room at ease. After speaking with Director Nash on the phone, Daisy Zane, Hill Dawson, and Anisa Cooper discussed some details. These were issues rted to post-production promotion, so Daisy Zane didnt get involved and went to the sunrooms hanging chair with herputer to write the script. This script was not going smoothly, either stalling or being constantly revised. Daisy Zane felt quite annoyed. As she was writing, she couldnt make progress again. Daisy Zane simply deleted everything she had written in the past two days. Then she leaned back in the hanging chair to organize her thoughts. As she was sorting through them, she fell asleep with herputer in her arms. She even had a dream, in which she saw a snowy mountain and broken ice on the river, both bitterly cold. Daisy was immersed in the icy cold river with several others, carrying heavy sandbags on their shoulders. Their faces were covered, and they wore ck clothes that didnt reveal any skin. The people standing on the shore also wore the same attire, even covering their original figures with clothes. At the sound of the ominous, terrifying, and scary voice, it seemed like a hellish fiend was urging the dead. He said, You dont have to tell me your names or ages, and I dont want to know what you look like. Here you only have numbers. The only condition for staying here is survival of the fittest. The sound echoed in their ears, and the bodies standing in the river were already stiff and numb with no sensation. But the sandbags on their shoulders still made their numb legs gradually bend. Meanwhile, the mans voice continued, I dont need a lot of people, I need the best. Dont harbor any lucky thoughts. If youre afraid of death, its better to drop out early The voice in the dream gradually faded, and the scene changed. The group of them found themselves in an enclosed room. They were doing drug resistance training. All kinds of drugs entered their bodies again and again. They were carried into the hospital, one time after another. Vomiting, dizziness, hallucinations, and unbearable pain like a bone-picking Time and time again, they endured torturous training. With every session, they felt as if they had stepped into the Ghost Gate Pass, only to be dragged back out afterward. Chapter 248 - 237 Chapter 248: Chapter 237 Trantor: 549690339 The sun was setting, and the temperature in the sunroom gradually decreased, making the coolness from the air conditioning more obvious. Wilton Edwards came downstairs intending to water the nts in the courtyard. Seeing that Daisy Zane had fallen asleep, he went to fetch a nket. However, just as he approached her with the nket, without even reaching her side. Daisy Zane suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. The fierceness in her eyes seemed like a frozen abyss that could pierce ones heart. It sent chills down ones spine and instilled fear. It was more like a wolf staring at its prey, ready to tear it apart at any moment. Wilton Edwards lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didnt in the end. He responded and went outside. Daisy Zane looked at Wilton Edwards, and her gaze quickly returned to rity, gradually calming down. She raised her hand to rub her temple, her voice slightly hoarse, Wilton Edwards. Only then did Wilton Edwards make a move, walked a few steps forward, and gently ced the nket on the edge of the hanging chair, Miss, did you have a nightmare? No. I dreamt of some past events. Daisy Zane nced at the time, Did Charles Amos send any messages? I just called to ask. Wilton Edwards said gently, He sounds happy. Third Master will bring him back after dinner. Dont worry. Okay, Daisy Zane replied softly, You can go ahead. Wilton Edwards lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didnt in the end. He responded and went outside. Daisy Zane watched Wilton Edwards leave, and then looked down at the cold sweat in the palm of her hand. Her back was also covered in cold sweat, which made her, who already felt a little cold, feel even colder. Thest part of her dream was about psychological training. The person training them continually crushed their willpower and tested their psychological defenses. For every point they resisted, he would attack five times more fiercely. Over and over, time and time again. It was as if a knife had sliced through their hearts, constantly prying at their weakest point with the de. Repeatedly stirring, not stopping even if their flesh and blood were a mess and their fresh flesh was rotting. Only when that soft spot became indestructible, able to withstand the sharp de, would he stop. Under such torture, everyone would exhibit self-harm and even experience a mental breakdown, wanting to die. Daisy Zane didnt know how she got through it or how she managed to stay behind. Even after she stayed, it took her a long time to feel as if she was already dead. She was just a walking corpse, a puppet, only obeying orders, only submitting After a while, Daisy Zane put theputer aside on the round table and took out two tissues to slowly wipe her hands. She never wanted to recall those days. That part of her memory seemed to be forgotten in some corner of her heart, never wanting to open or mention it. Perhaps the training at that time had subtly included the inability to mention that period of time. She didnt know why it suddenly appeared in her dreams. Daisy Zane feared two people in her life. One was Edward Kirsten, and the other was the person who trained her. Her fear of Edward Kirsten was genuine. As for the other person, fear might not be the right word to describe it. It should be described as submission from the depths of her heart. Submission to his wisdom, submission to his capabilities. Daisy Zanes sess today was indebted to that man Charles Amos had a great time at the rk Family, especially fascinated by Arthur Norths lotus flower ponds. In the cool afternoon, he ran back and forth on the corridor around the lotus ponds. He took fish food and sprinkled some into every pond. But there were too many lotus flower ponds, and he couldnt cover them all. Seeing him running and ying, Elina rk and Tom Wayne took this opportunity to ask Arthur North. It wasnt that they had to ask at this time. It was mainly because Arthur North said that after dinner, he would take Charles Amos back and would note back himself. Moreover, he didnt know when he would return. This was really not a good time to stay. Elina rk and Tom Wayne couldnt wait any longer, so they took the opportunity when Charles Amos was not around and quickly asked Arthur North. Whose child is this? Elina rk asked. Arthur Norths eyes had a hint of a smile but his expression was serious, Dad, Mom. I brought Charles Amos here today, and she doesnt know. This she naturally referred to Daisy Zane. Elina rk and Tom Wayne looked at him and pretty much understood. I took the liberty of bringing Charles Amos here on my own. But as for the matter of this child, I cannot make the decision for her. Whether South bears is her biological son or her adopted son, its up to the little girl to decide, and he wont interfere. He is only responsible for protecting them. Kevin rk said seriously, What I can say is that she is a very good girl, very good, very good. I love her, and I cherish her. I will treat South bears as my own son. Elina rk and Tom Wayne were silent for a while. They knew it was to tell them, and they hoped they would treat him like their own grandson. Since you both like each other, and you intend to raise this child, you should treat him as your own son. Tom Wayne said, Your emotional problems are none of our business. Thats your life, and we have no right to interfere. What we can do is to do our own things well. If you treat him as your own son, we will naturally treat him as our own grandson. Thank you, Mom. Tom Wayne smiled softly and said, Since you intend to raise him, you must bear the responsibility of teaching him. Raising children is not a joke. I know. Tom Wayne didnt say anything else and looked at South bears again. No matter how mature a childs mind is, its still a child after all, and the smile reveals pure innocence. And Elina rk asked quietly, Is this child really not rted to you? Huh? Kevin was puzzled for a moment. You have no blood rtionship with you? Elina rk followed up. After Kevin rk was slightly stunned, heughed and said, No, whats the matter, Dad? I always feel that he looks a bit like you. Really? Kevin rkughed. Yes, Elina rk said with certainty. Tom Wayne smiled and said, Maybe there is a father-son bond. Elina rk looked at South bears with his cane. Maybe South bears ran around the lotus pond for a while, and Kevin rk took him away. He is afraid that he would fall into the lotus pond. I havent had enough fun yet. South bears said reluctantly. Im afraid if you fall in, the little girl will kill me. Kevin rk took his hand and pulled him away by force. How could I fall in if I dont jump? South bears muttered. Kevin rk snorted, Wasnt the fever fromst year that required hospitalization caused by you falling into theke? I South bears uttered a syble, but soon stopped talking and remained silent. Seeing his sudden silence, in a while, Kevin rk stopped and looked down at him, So you jumped into theke yourself? South bears lowered his head and pretended not to hear. Kevin rk continued, Did you jump in to get the little girl toe and see you? South bears still didnt say anything. Kevin rk chuckled. He even dared to go to Truro City by himself and knocked out Wilton Edwards. Jumping into ake is nothingpared to that. The strong willpower and determination to do whatever he wants are exactly the same as that of the little girl. Your little secret is in my hands, so behave yourself. South bears said reluctantly, Okay. As he shouldered the responsibility, he grumbled in his heart. Why is life treating him badly and setting pitfalls for him at every turn? He is just a child after all. After dinner, when South bears left, Tom Wayne and Calvin Stewart gave him a big red envelope each. Tom also left him a contact number, saying to keep in touch. South bears happily took the two red envelopes, got in the car, and then his little face copsed, How do I exin when I go back? Tell the truth. Will my mom hit me? Well Kevin rk thought for a moment, She is more likely to hit me. Upon hearing this, South bears instantly breathed a sigh of relief: Thats good, thats good. Kevin rk: Chapter 249 - 238: I’m Afraid She’ll Be Angry Chapter 249: Chapter 238: Im Afraid Shell Be Angry Trantor: 549690339 The car drove into the vi, and Charless hand clutching the red envelopes suddenly tightened. He looked up at Kevin rk and whispered, Are you really not going to hit Kevin rk looked down at his nervous and scared expression,ughing and said, Hmm, I wont hit you. The car stopped, Charles got out, and when he followed Kevin rk to the entrance of the living room, he looked up at him again and said, Are you scared? Yes, I am. But youre not afraid of your grandmother being angry. Charles said. But Im afraid of the little girl being angry. Kevin rk looked at him. What can we do?Charles asked worriedly, Will it involve me? Kevin rk snorted in his heart; this kid was only worried about himself being involved, Not necessarily. Charles: Will you protect me then? Charles asked again. That depends on my mood. Kevin rk perfunctorily said. Charless eyes were almost round, and just as he was about to speak, Daisys cold voice came from inside the living room: Are you two reciting some incantation before entering? Charles was startled, dropping a red envelope on the ground. After picking up the red envelope, Kevin rk led him into the living room. Daisy was wearing gray home clothes instead of the clothes they wore when they left in the morning. Her hair was loose and seemed to have been washed not long ago. It seemed that she had juste down from the upper floor and was standing next to the sofa, looking at the entrance of the living room. As soon as Kevin rk and Charles entered the living room, she saw the two thick red envelopes in Charless hand. She squinted slightly and whispered, Who gave them? Charles leaned towards Kevin rks leg, suddenly at a loss for words. Daisy nced at Kevin rk again, speaking with the same tone and voice as usual, Speak. But little Charles was still frightened, his little heart trembling, Its from Beautiful Grandma and Aunt. Daisys gaze lingered on his face for two seconds before looking at Kevin rk. Kevin rks eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he smiled, My mother and my sister-inw. After saying that, he walked forward with Charles, but little Charles pulled his hand and exerted force in the opposite direction. So Kevin rk dragged Charles to Daisys side. Daisy thought for a moment and almost understood, You took him to your home? Yes. Kevin rk looked at her, My mother was angry with me, so I brought her a grandson as a shield. Daisy was silent for a while, then lowered her head to look at Charles, You go back to your room first, or find Grandpa Edwards. Following her instructions, Charles let go of Kevin rks hand and ran toward Uncle Edwards room. He disappeared from the living room in a puff of smoke. Kevin rk watched the little white-eyed boy and gritted his teeth. You were hoping hed plead for you? Daisy sat down on the sofa, He cant even protect himself. What should I do then? How can I survive unharmed? Kevin rk walked to her side. Turn back time. Daisy looked up at him, her beautiful phoenix eyes cold and indifferent. Thats a bit difficult. Kevin rk thought for a moment, leaned down to face her, I think seduction is simpler. Daisy looked at his delicate eyes: Kevin rk looked at her, seeing that she didnt want to hit him, andughed. He leaned closer and kissed her lips. Daisy moved back a little. Kevin rk raised his hand to touch the back of her head, preventing her from backing away, and whispered gently, My parents really like Charles. Daisy looked closely at his eyes, at the warmth in his eyes for her, and at the tenderness that belonged only to her. Kevin rk kissed her again, I didnt tell them about Charless background. Daisys eyshes trembled slightly. Kevin rk looked at her long eyshes and kissed her again. Each time, with appeasement andfort. My parents will treat him like a real grandson. Kevin rk said softly, I will also treat him as a real son. Daisy slowly lowered her gaze, using her eyshes to hide her emotions. Every word Kevin rk said struck her heart. With every hit, a crack appeared in the thickyer of ice around her heart. The blood became vibrant, and the heartbeat became passionate. Seeing that her eyes were downcast, Kevin rk pressed closer and kissed her again, Dont worry, my little girl must be the best in the world. My parents still trust my vision. Daisys eyshes trembled again, and she twisted her fingertips. She lifted her hand and ced it on Kevin rks shoulder, pushing him back a little. Then, with her gaze downcast, she moved aside and said, Hmm, you have good taste. Kevin rk saw that she was hiding her emotions and didnt expose her. Instead, he sat next to her and said, How can it be described simply as good? You are fantastic. Daisys emotions quickly subsided, and she nced at him and said, How did you trick Charles? I said I could help them with a concern, and they agreed immediately. Just like that? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. Kevin rk coughed lightly, I offered them some benefits. Daisy Zane narrowed her eyes, about to ask when Kevin rk leaned in and kissed her lightly, Let Charles tell you. Daisy Zane: Are you a woodpecker? Kevin rkughed softly at her words. Daisy Zane: . After a chat in the living room, the couple returned to their rooms. Upstairs, Kevin rk walked to his bedroom door and watched Daisy Zane enter her own room. He stared longingly at the doorway and let out a sigh. Oh, no cuddling tonight. Oh, maybe its time to pick a date for the wedding registration. As he thought about it, Daisy Zanes door opened again, and his eyes instantly lit up, looking at her. When Daisy Zane came out and saw that he was still standing at the door, with a clearly excited expression in his eyes, she asked with confusion, What are you doing? Why did youe out? Im going to see Charles. Kevin rks excitement vanished instantly: Oh. Daisy Zane looked at him suspiciously again, then turned and went to Charless room. Little Charles was sitting on his carpet counting money when the door knocked. He thought it was Uncle Wilton, so he opened the door directly. But when he saw it was Daisy Zane, he instinctively tried to close the door, but Daisy Zanes hand pressed against the door, preventing him from shutting it. What are you doing? Daisy Zane asked him. Nothing. Charles nced at her and quickly lowered his head, Whats up? Daisy Zane walked straight into his room and saw the money spread all over the room, Taking inventory of your wealth? Charles followed her without a word. Daisy Zane squat on the ground and looked at the money, Not a small amount. Did Beautiful Grandma and Aunt Wood give it all to you? Yes, Charles replied. Daisy Zane looked at him, Do you like Beautiful Grandma and Aunt Wood? Charles thought for a moment before saying, They, along with grandfather, treat me very well. They dont make things difficult for me. Grandma even took down my contact information and just spoke with me a while ago. She asked when I would have time toe over to her ce. Daisy Zanes eyebrows moved gently, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. A childs mind is very perceptive C if he says theyre good, then they must be good. Remember to bring them gifts next time. Use this money to buy them. Can I go? Charles squatted down beside her and looked up at her. If you want to, you can. Charles smiled and, after thinking for a moment, continued, Today Uncle rk took me to the Court Music Academy. He introduced me to Master Alex Justin, Charles said. Grandpa Justin said he wants to take me as his apprenticegrandson. Daisy Zane looked at Charles, recalling Kevin rks words about offering a little benefit. A world-ss piano master at the Court Music Academy. What a little benefit indeed. Is it okay? Charles asked cautiously. You can decide on this matter on your own. Charles was so happy that he couldnt even purse his lips, grinning ear to ear and showing his gap teeth. Daisy Zane looked at his grown teeth and quietly observed him for a while before reaching up and patting his head, Thank you. Charless expression, which had been immersed in joy, suddenly froze, and he stared nkly at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes voice was as gentle as it could ever be, making her words barely distinguishable from her usual speech: Thank you for helping me eliminate a concern. You were very brave. It wasnt as if Charles hadnt been praised or thanked before. Daisy Zane always thanked him every time he bought her a gift. But this was his first time being thanked in such a way, as if hed protected her. Charles stared at Daisy Zane, his face slowly turning pink. Seeing his reaction, Daisy Zane smiled and then scooped up a handful of money from the ground, Everyone gets a share. Charless eyes immediately followed the money in her hand. Daisy Zane stood up, even deliberately shaking a few bills in her hand and said, Go to sleep early. Then she walked away with the money. It wasnt until the door closed that little Charles came to his senses. He looked at the remaining money on the floor, clearly missing a few bills, and sat down with a thud, eximing, Ah, my money! Chapter 250 - 239: Lending You Half of the Bed Again Chapter 250: Chapter 239: Lending You Half of the Bed Again Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane left in a good mood with the few bills and exited the room. When she was making her way to her own room, she noticed Arthur North still standing at the entrance. Arthur North looked at her and saw the money in her hand, This is Stolen. Daisy Zane replied. There were eight bills. Arthur North gave a slightugh, Even taking from a child. Who can me me when hes so small and easy to bully? Daisy Zane pocketed the money. She then leisurely walked up to him, looked at him, and said after some thought, Third Master do you want me to lend you half of my bed? Arthur Norths behavior was somewhat unusual, Daisy Zane probably thought for a moment before she tentatively asked. At her guess, the bright light that emerged on Arthur Norths face beneath his shock proved her spection. Daisy Zane immediately had ill intentions. She took another step forward, shifted her gaze from his lips to his eyes, and looked deeply into them as she said, Third Master, what do you think of my proposal? Arthur North lowered his eyes to her, his throat involuntarily swallowing. Daisy Zane met his gaze and said after a while, Last night I wasnt very drunk. Arthur Norths pupils trembled, I She had guessed right again. Daisy Zane gave a softugh, Third Master not very righteous. Arthur North took a breath and rather helplessly said, I just couldnt help myself. He paused before adding, Im sorry. What about tonight? Still borrowing? Daisy Zane inquired again. Arthur North clenched his fist, his foreheads veins bulging, as the inner struggle seemed to tear him apart. This kind of little girl was too alluring, like the cold, nted moonlight transformed into an enchanting fairy. Arthur Norths already weak will towards her was barely holding up. He raised his hand to hold her chin, his voice threatening, Little girl, if you continue teasing, I cant guarantee nothing will happen. What will happen? What do you think? Slept with me? You Daisy Zane smiled as her eyes seemed to confirm that Arthur North wouldnt do anything to her, so she brazenly teased him. Arthur North resisted for two seconds before he directly swept her off her feet and carried her into her room, kicking the door open. He carried her straight to the bed, cing Daisy Zane on it. Then, he pressed himself on top of her, kissing her. Arthur North was undoubtedly rough and fierce in this area. It was only because he was too fond of her and reluctant to let go that he tried his best to be gentle and restrained each time. This time, even though he was a bit more forceful than usual, he was still trying to control himself. However, his unconcealed possessiveness and controlling nature still made people instinctively feel fear. It was as if he wanted to teach this little girl a lesson, without any intention of holding back or hiding. So, Daisy Zane felt it very clearly and directly. She struggled a bit, but Arthur North pinned her arms above her head with one hand. It wasnt until tears started to form in Daisy Zanes eyes from the kiss that Arthur North had any intention of letting her go. The buttons of her home clothes were undone, the clothes on her shoulders slid off, and the gentle kisses went from her neck to her shoulder and then to her corbone. Finally, Arthur North bit down on her corbones scar very restrainedly. Daisy Zanes body was out of control. Arthur Norths breathing was heavy. He released Daisy Zanes hands, holding her wrists while panting softly, Little girl? Daisy Zanes breathing was rapid, her chest heaving, and her heart seemed to jump out with her breath. She closed her eyes, her eyshes lightly trembling, but she remained silent. Arthur North kissed her eyes again and said, From now on, behave yourself. If you tease me again, I cant be sure if I can control myself. Daisy Zanes hand was on his shoulder. Arthur North held her hand, kissed it a couple of times, and continued, Little girl, in this matter, all men are beasts. He may say that since he hasnt married you, he cant touch you, but whether he can do it or not depends on time. Daisy Zane didnt expect him to scold himself so harshly, she opened her eyes and looked at him. The indifferent phoenix eyes were soaked in water, as if they had been washed, clean and clear. They were as beautiful as ss, making people want to cherish and pamper her. Kevin rk looked into her beautiful eyes, took a gentle breath, and spoke more seriously, So dont tease me, I might not be able to hold back, I might be a beast. After saying that, Kevin rk quickly got off her and went straight into the restroom, locking the door. Daisy Zane stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. After a while, the sound of a shower came from the restroom. Her eyes trembled gently, and after a while, sheughed softly. Kevin rks shower took a very long time. It took so long that Daisy went to his room to get him a change of clothes andid them outside the restroom. Then she lied on the bed, scrolling on her cell phone for a while before falling asleep out of boredom. He still hadnte out. By the time Kevin rk came out, Daisy Zane was already deep in her dreams. He went to the side of the bed, tucked her in, and looked at her for a moment. He bent down to kiss her forehead before deciding to leave her room. His self-control was almost exhausted for the evening. If he stayed, there might be trouble, or he might have to take another cold showerter. So he ced her cell phone on the bedside table and turned off the bedsidemp. Just as he was about to leave, her cell phone vibrated gently, and a message popped up. Kevin rk nced at it subconsciously and saw that it was from someonebeled Assistant. He raised an eyebrow but didnt think much of it and left the room. The Assistant sent Daisy Zane three messages in a row. [School is starting soon, and you havent submitted your vacation experiment report yet.] [Make sure the format is correct, or the professor will give you trouble again.] [Your application for deferred graduation has been epted, and you need to confirm it in person.] The variety show recording for Going to School was set for September 16th. And the name was quite simple, just called Going to School. Easy to understand and straightforward. Originally, there were six people scheduled to participate in the recording, with guest stars appearing in between. However, due to the addition of Daisy Zane, Director Nash wanted to find one more person to make it an even number. After considering many options, Director Nash approached George Dunn. But George quickly rejected him. He was waiting for Brook Gods new script, and he didnt have the time. However, Director Nash wasnt worried about his rejection. He casually told him that Brook God was also participating. After confirming the truth of the matter, George immediately agreed. He even bribed the director to make sure he and Brook God would be in the same ss. There were still half a month left until the variety show recording. During that time, Daisy Zane was also very busy. She spent most of her time in theboratory. She finished her vacation report, handed it in, and got it approved. But, as soon as the new semester began, she received new tasks. Moreover, Daisy Zane had more tasks than anyone else. The Assistant even told her [capability brings more responsibility] This meant that she had more tasks than others. For more than a week, Daisy Zane only rested an average of three hours a day, and on some days, she even stayed in theboratory overnight. Kevin rk, who was also busy, felt very worried and distressed every time he saw the red veins in Daisys eyes during video calls. He asked Wilton Edwards, who told him Daisy barely went home and was always busy. When she dide home, she only stayed for a few hours before leaving again. While Kevin rk had some free time, he went to see Daisy Zane. He happened to catch her just as she got home. Daisy Zane didnt say two words to him before going straight to her room to sleep. Kevin rk: What was she so busy with that she was exhausting herself like this? Worried and distressed, Kevin rk didnt notice the strong smell of chemical drugs on Daisy Zanes body. It was the same smell he had encountered in theboratory these days. Chapter 251 - 240: Donated All the Income Chapter 251: Chapter 240: Donated All the Ie Trantor: 549690339 After finishing the work at theb that day, Daisy Zane went home and slept for a full day. She was in a nearatose state for half of the morning and spent the other half arguing with the bald professor in her dreams. Finally, she woke up a little after 10 PM, feeling hungry. As she descended from the upstairs, she saw Kevin rk sitting in the living room chatting with Wilton Edwards. She had taken a shower, and her hair was half-dried. Kevin asked her, Did you have a good sleep? Not bad. Daisy sat on the sofa next to him, When did you arrive? About an hour ago. Kevin said, noticing that she had a good rest, Done with the busy work? Yep. Daisy took out and ate a cheesecake that Cole Amos had left by the tea table, Youve been quite free today as well. Thest time they met, she had hardly said more than a few words before heading upstairs to sleep. Later, she heard from Wilton that Kevin had left almost immediately after going upstairs to check on her, not even staying for ten minutes. Here he was, staying for an hour this time. Yeah. Kevin replied, Ill be done with my work soon. Wilton went to check on the meal being prepared by the servants. After finishing her cheesecake, Daisy asked Kevin about the file bag on his hand, Whats inside? Kevin showed her, Jadeite pricing from D Continent, Felix Baker went there again. Daisy: Take a look and help set a price. Daisy took the file bag, You really want me to set the price? Yes. Kevin replied with a smile. Daisy raised an eyebrow but didnt hesitate to open the file bag. She examined the previous jadeite pricing and price fluctuations over the years. I heard that Felix has a huge warehouse in his house filled with treasures, Kevin mentioned. Not bad, there are quite a few items, but not many are really valuable, Daisymented while looking through the files, Nowhere near as extravagant as your courtyard paved with jadeite. Kevin chuckled and remained quiet for a moment before bringing up, Did you donate your entire sry from Fall of the Quince? Surprised, Daisy looked at him, How did you know? Then she remembered and said, Oh, the charity foundation was run by your family. Kevin added, Hugo rk saw it. He told us, and Xavier Dominic found out. He said it was your entire sry from that show. As the investor of that show, Allonzo Hobson knew Daisys sry amounts very well. Having too much money on hand made me uneasy, Daisy confessed nonchntly. Kevinughed but didnt say anything. The money was donated under the name Daisy Zane to Cold Green Vige. Later, Kevin asked Hugo to check her ount and found many donations made through it. It started about four years ago. Initially, there was a fixed annual donation, arge sum made in the name of Jack Amos. Two yearster, another donation appeared, made in the name of Tang, directed specifically to Cold Green Vige or poor areas educational resources. So far, the fixed donations for this year had been made, and the sry from the show was donated again. Besides the annual fixed donations, there were also donations for various disasters, all through this ount. No sry from the show, no money from the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and donating so much each yearhow much could she have left for herself? Unaware of Kevins thoughts, Daisy quickly determined the prices that would maximize her own interests. She wrote them all down. Take a look. Dont me me if youe up short, Daisy handed the papers to Kevin and then went to the restaurant. Kevin flipped through the tables and chuckled softly. The prices were slightly low, but not enough to make him lose money. After that night, Arthur North was busy for another two days. The Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute was at a certain stage in its research on a cancer drug, and many experiments needed to be followed up on. Arthur North was a specially invited professor, only involved during crucial moments of each research phase. Normally, the institute didnt need his expertise. On the other hand, Daisy Zane was a secretly cultivated talent of the institute. Currently, she was only involved in some tedious experiments, without ess to the core research. Moreover, she had been admitted with special permission. The institute granted her exception to not do research at the Imperial Capital University Laboratory. As long as she couldplete tasks on time and pass the institutes assessment, she could join the Research Institute. The institute made significant concessions to retain her. So, her busy schedule was also in phases. After she finished her tasks, Arthur North took over, which was why he was busy for another two days. During these two days that Arthur North was busy, Daisy Zane went to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts for two consecutive days. She was genuinely interested in fashion design and got along well with Joseph Allen. Together, they discussed many questions about ancient clothing. It had been a long time since they had enjoyed such in-depth conversations. Three dayster, in the afternoon, Daisy Zane was cutting Charles Amos hair. Due to a mistake, a tuft of hair was cut too short, causing the curls to stick out. It was very obvious among the curls and couldnt be smoothed down. Charles looked at her resentfully, while she stared emotionlessly at the tuft of hair. James Collins and Wilton Edwards watched the two, neither saying a word, wondering whether the tuft of hair or the whole head of hair would be unlucky first. At that moment, Arthur North and his friends arrived. Before they even entered, Henry Horton shouted, Brook Sister, lets go. Ill show you around. Hearing the voice, Charles quickly covered the tuft of short hair with his hand. Daisy Zane, holding scissors, turned to look at the living room entrance. Arthur North, Henry Horton, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright walked through the door. Except for Arthur North, the others were dressed very neatly, like soldiers. Only Arthur North was still wearing a ck shirt. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing a hint of interest, Whats up? A mission? Arthur Northughed, No. Daisy Zanes interest disappeared instantly. Seeing her change of expression so quickly, Henry Hortonughed, Really no mission. But the Third Military District is semi-open to the public today. Do you want to have a look, Brook Sister? The Third Military District was under themand of Nathan North. The formidable Jamess Group and White Tiger Squadron were all based there. Daisy Zanes interest was piqued once again, Semi-opening is it fun? Rtives have special privileges, said Arthur North. What about the rtives of the rtives? James Collins suddenly asked. You can only see the semi-open stuff, replied Arthur North. James Collins: Arthur North nced at Cole Amos and Wilton Edwards and said, Cole Amos and Wilton Edwards, you shoulde too. Young master, go ahead. I wont go, Wilton Edwards said with a smile, I dont understand any of those things. If I go, Ill just be staring nkly. Daisy Zane held up her scissors, looking at Arthur North with probing eyes. And Arthur Norths smile seemed ingratiating, all that was missing were the words I really invited Wilton Edwards, no ulterior motives written all over his face.. Chapter 252 - 241: The Monk Chapter 252: Chapter 241: The Monk Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane changed into a neat outfit and tied up Charles Amoss hair that had been cut off. She went with James Collins, Charles Amos, and Kevin rk together. After entering the military district and getting off the car, they went straight to the schoolyard. Daisy Zane wore her hair loose, with a duckbill cap for shading the sun. Dressed simply in gray ankle-length pants and a white short sleeve shirt, her legs were long and straight, and her slender waist was revealed where the short-sleeved shirt was tucked into her pants. Even dressed simply, she was still dazzling. After changing her clothes, Kevin rks gaze kept moving between her legs and her waist. After walking for a while, little Charles Amoss stride was obviously quicker than the others. Everyone had long legs, so he had to take two and a half steps for every step everyone else took. Thus, Kevin rk picked him up directly. Little Charles Amos, who suddenly floated into the air, looked at Kevin rk for a moment, then happily embraced his neck. Why not take advantage of this free ride? Daisy Zane took off her cap and put it on James Collins head. James Collins tucked in his neck, and after realizing it wasnt a beating, smiled and said, Sister, Im not hot. Wear it, Daisy Zane said without looking at him, Cover your green hair. James Collins: oh. Some people were training on the schoolyard. They stood on the periphery and watched for a while. Daisy Zane watched the close-up fighting training and the 500 meters obstacle course further away. Brook Sister, when we were young, we all trained here, Xavier Dominic said. At that time, we were underplete military control. I was miserable, struggling to get up every day, and wanted to cry. Its not that you wanted to cry every day, Hugo rks voice suddenly sounded from behind them. You were crying every day. Hearing his voice, everyone looked back. Xavier Dominic, who couldnt beat him, could only clench his teeth and say, Hugo rk, with a friend like me, you must have incense burning for your ancestors. Its more like a curse on the ancestors, Kevin rk suddenly said. You two, you uncle and nephew Xavier Dominic nced at Hugo and Kevin rk in turn, both of whom were too hard to provoke, Forget it, I have a heart that can tolerate everything. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright bothughed indifferently. Little Charles Amos stood beside Daisy Zanes leg, waiting for everyone to stop talking before looking up and shouting, Elder Brother. Daisy Zane: . There was no emotion on Hugo rks face as he looked at him for two seconds and then patted him on the head, acknowledging him. Kevin rk nced at his nephew and then looked at the schoolyard, raising the corner of his mouth. Daisy Zane also nced at Kevin rk and seeing him smile asked, Were you trained here too? Yes. Kevin rk looked at her and answered. Only trained here? Daisy Zane asked again. Kevin rk was too powerful, and she knew very well his strength from their real fights. He didnt seem like someone who had only trained here. As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Daisy Zane. I have studied and implemented a set of training methods on my own. Kevin rk made it sound like he just came up with a simple test paper. However, from the reactions of others, it was clear it wasnt that simple. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright even took a step back. It had reached the point where just mentioning it caused fear. Brook Sister. His training methods Xavier Dominic whispered beside her, are not meant for humans. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow at Kevin rk: Really? Yes, Xavier Dominic said as his hair stood on end. Its simply not human. Even Hugocouldnt make it to the end. Hugo rk: ?????? Why did he have to mention such shameful things about him? Xavier Dominic paused for a moment then added, Of course, it was Kevin who forced Hugo to quit. Do you know why, Brook Sister? Why? Daisy Zane supported Xavier Dominic as courteously as when she first met him. He said that Hugo needs to carry on the rk family line. Xavier Dominic sighed, If only Hugo had a son, Kevin would have yed him to death as his third uncle. Hugo rk: Daisy Zaneughed and said, Doesnt he still have his brother to carry on the family line? Allonzo Hobson looked at Kevin rk and shook his head: No, no. At that time, Arthur North was a monk and didnt have interest in women. Kevin rk: James Collinsughed out loud without any inhibition. After receiving a cold re from Kevin rk, he shrugged and toned it down a bit. The smile on Daisy Zanes face deepened, looking at the schoolyard, she thought, the infamous yboy actually doesnt seek women. Miss, Kevin rk called to her. Daisy Zanesughter receded a bit and said, Third Master, your training methods are so powerful. I should learn from you sometime. Everyone looked at her again, their expressions seemingly admiring her death-wish approach. Except for Charles Amos, who was always focusing on the schoolyard and not paying much attention to their conversation, only James Collins didnt have much reaction. In his heart, his sister was a divine presence, and anything else was insignificant in front of her. But Kevin rk suddenly frowned, rejecting Daisy Zanes idea very decisively: Such training methods would break his heart even if she just touched them. Daisy Zane didnt say anything but looked at the schoolyard, watching their training as if it were in slow motion to herself. After standing outside of the periphery for a while, they went to the shooting range. All sorts of guns were spread out in front of them, anyones eyes would sparkle for a moment after taking a look at them. Allonzo Hobson had witnessed Daisy Zanes marksmanship on Koymoon Ind, which was extraordinary. Brook Sister, why not show off a bit? Daisy Zane looked at the guns and her hands itched for them. She thought about it, picked up a Type 64 pistol, and said to Kevin rk, Third Master, want topete? Kevin rk raised an eyebrow: Will we be able to determine a winner? Daisy Zane smirked,ing up with a naughty idea: We will. Kevin rk saw through her scheme but didnt expose it. He readily agreed to the challenge: Fine. How do we y? Daisy Zane took out the magazine and checked it. She said, Moving targets, seven bullets, see who can hit more. Hugo rk had never seen Daisy Zane with a gun. Today was the first time. Her yful and wicked demeanor made it seem as if this ce was her home court. It was like she was radiating light. Another side to this person. Fine, Kevin rk also picked up a Type 64. Stakes? Daisy Zane thought about it and said, Whoever loses must agree to one request from the winner. Such tempting terms, Kevin rkughed. Then I have to take this seriously. Daisy Zane gave him a Youre bound to lose, whether youre serious or not look. Hugo rk watched their exchanges and automatically stepped back. He also took little Charles Amos away, so the gunshots wouldnt scare the child. At a distance, Bonnie Maxwell, who had just arrived at the shooting range, saw their group and paused. She stood still and watched them from afar. That group They came with Third Master, said the person beside her. I heard shes Third Masters girlfriend, and shes beautiful. Bonnie Maxwell clenched her fist slowly. She recognized Daisy Zane but couldnt believe Kevin rk actually brought her here. What right did she have to be here? What qualifications did she have to be here? So what if shes beautiful? How could an empty vessel be worthy of the title of rk Familys Madam? Whos that child? Not sure, but Third Master brought him and even carried him here, said the person. Bonnie Maxwell knitted her brows, looking at Charles Amoss figure, and her eyes darkened.. Chapter 253 - 242: War is Deceit Chapter 253: Chapter 242: War is Deceit Trantor: 549690339 The moving target consists of randomly thrown targets from various directions in the sky. The range of Type 64 handgun is only fifty meters. So you can only hit the target if it enters your firing range. Daisy Zane and Kevin rk stood side by side, with a distance of only one meter between them. But if the target appears from one of their directions, the other person would be at a disadvantage due to the distance. Moreover, the targets appear randomly. If all seven targets appear from one persons direction, the other person would be at a disadvantage in each instance. However, for skilled shooters, these factors are not a problem. What matters is not only urate marksmanship, but also shooting speed, reaction speed, distance judgment, and timing of firing. Enamel, who do you think will win? Allonzo Hobson asked Hugo rk by his side. Third Uncle, Hugo rk answered without hesitation. Definitely my sister, James Collins said. Hugo rk gave him a nce, assuming he was just supporting his sister for the sake of it, and did not argue with him. Lets ce bets, Allonzo Hobson put his arm on James Collins shoulder and smiled, I bet 1 million on Brook Sisters victory. You have good taste, James Collins crossed his arms, I also bet 1 million on my sisters victory. Hugo rk nced at Allonzo Hobson and then looked at Michael Jackson and Juan Wright: You two. Juan Wright smiled at Hugo rk and said, I bet 1 million on my teachers victory. Hugo rk: Allonzo Hobson and James Collins bothughed. Then everyones eyes fell on Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson coughed lightly and touched his nose, saying, 11 abstain. Hugo rk: Juan Wright gave him a light nudge with his elbow, Can you do it or not? Michael Jackson deflected it with his hand and said with a smile, I need to save money for my wife. Brother, Juan Wright patted him on the shoulder, first of all, you need to have a wife. Michael Jackson smiled but didnt speak. Allonzo Hobson looked at Hugo rk again, Enamel,st chance, who do you bet on? Hugo rk met his gaze and said softly, 5 million on my Third Uncle. Enamel, you better think it over, Allonzo Hobson said, My Brook Sister is really strong. Hugo rk didnt say anything. Allonzo Hobson smiled and looked at Daisy Zane and Kevin rk, saying leisurely, Enamel, you really dont know how strong my Brook Sister is. Every word of their conversation had fallen into Daisy Zane and Kevin rks ears. Daisy Zane loaded her bullets and said, Your nephew is not bad. Thats why I wont let him lose. Daisy Zanes mouth turned up slightly, and she looked at the shooting range. Both of them were ready, and as the word start was called out, Hugo rk covered Charles Amoss ears. The first moving target came from Daisy Zanes side, thrown high into the air and quickly dropping. Both of their eyes were focused on the target, and at the moment it entered their firing range, they pulled their triggers simultaneously. To the naked eye, the targets had been hit at the same time by both of them. As the second target appeared the moment they fired, both of them caught it in the corner of their eyes and turned their guns in that direction at the same time. The next three targets came from Kevin rks direction. Kevin rk was at an advantage due to his position, but Daisy Zane didnt give him any chances to take advantage of it. Thest two targets were in front of both of them, making it simple. The targets appeared quickly. Just as one gunshot ended, the next target would appear. So, everyones ears could hear the consecutive bangs of six bullets. And with their eyes, they could see that these six targets were hit almost simultaneously by the two of them. Several people: Are they even human? How can anyonepete with that? The seventh target appeared, again from Kevin rks direction. As his gun turned toward it, Daisy Zane put down her gun. She quickly took a nearby bolt action rifle. He pulled the bolt back, loaded the bullet, aimed, and pulled the trigger. In almost a second With a bang, at a range of 400 meters, the target was shot right through. Meanwhile, Kevin rk was still waiting for the target to enter his handguns range Several people stared in amazement at the operation. Kevin, startled for a moment, put down his handgun and turned his head towards Daisy Zane. Daisy didnt look at him, but pulled the bolt back, ejected a spent shell, and aimed at the stationary target in the distance. BangC She fired a shot, and hit dead center. With a smile in the corner of her mouth, she pulled the bolt back again, ejected another shell, and said softly, I never said you couldnt change guns in the middle. She fired another shot as the words fell. Kevin watched her for a while and then nodded, chuckling. Firing two more shots, Daisy finished off her bullets and looked at Kevin, dering, War is deceit. Kevin nodded, Mm, Im willing to lose the bet. Its not like Im bullying you; I didnt even pick up the semi-automatic next to it. The bolt action loading was time-consuming. Yes, Kevinughed, I didnt think about being flexible. Again, the few people behind him were speechless: As long as Daisy was reced with one of them, without considering whether they dared to y like this, in the end, Kevin would press their heads and make them admit defeat. Indeed people always have double standards. One request. Kevin reached out and ced a strand of her hair blown forward back, saying, Feel free to ask. Ill think about it, Daisy said indifferently. Mm. Soon after, the few people behind him started shouting for Hugo rk to pay up. Of course, it was mostly Allonzo Hobson and James Collins who were the vocal ones. Hugo was bothered by their mor, as he had truly underestimated her skill. It was mainly because he couldnt believe someone could match his Third Uncles amazing marksmanship. He nced down at Charles Amos, looking up at him, then said, With the child here, you two have the nerve to shout for money. What? Why? Do you want to renege on the deal! cried Allonzo, Hey! Kevin, keep an eye on your big nephew; he wants to renege on the deal. Kevin didnt respond to him. Hugo nced at Kevin, and the look in his eyes clearly said, Youve betrayed my trust. But Kevin looked back at him, as if to say, Whats it to you if I fail you? Being used to Kevins ruthlessness, Hugo didnt show any reaction but said, Ill transfer the money to Charles. Charless eyes widened, and then he looked at Daisy. Seeing the look in her eyes, Charles said, Brother, I dont want it. Thats fine, Kevin said, Ill send you my bank ount numberter. Just as Daisy was about to speak up, Kevin pulled her back and whispered, Its okay, he has plenty of money. If you dont take it, its a waste. You have to let Charles save some for my retirement fund too. Daisy: James Collins said, I have no objections. Neither do I, Juan Wright agreed. However, Allonzo squatted down next to Charles and said very seriously, Baby, remember, this money isnt from your Brother Hugo. Its from your Brother Juan Wright, Brother Xavier Dominic, Brother James Collins. Im Uncle, James Collins reminded him. Allonzo looked up at him, How can you take advantage of me. If I dont have to give out red envelopes, I dont mind having another nephew, James Collinsughed. Get out of here! Allonzo picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at James, Go y somewhere else, kid. Charles cast another nce at Daisy, who didnt intercede, and then looked at Kevin. Then he said to Hugo, Thank you, Cousin. Daisy: Everyone paused for a moment, then burst intoughter. James Collins pulled at his braid, Why do you acknowledge kinship when you see money? You little money-grubber.. Chapter 254 - 243: A Little Comparison Chapter 254: Chapter 243: A Little Comparison Trantor: 549690339 Its no wonder shes Third Masters girlfriend. Not only is she beautiful, but her marksmanship is also impressive. People around Bonnie Maxwell were amazed,pletely ignoring her reaction. They went on praising, Marksmanship that can match Third Masters is indeed nothing short of divine presence. Bonnies hand that hung by her side clenched tightly, the veins on the back of her hand bulging. Even her jawline tightened from biting her teeth. She never expected that this woman this woman was so good at using a gun. How could it be, how is it possible. How could a wild girl from the countryside have such marksmanship. Indeed, excellent people should be with other excellent people, someone beside her said. They truly are a perfect match. Bonnie suddenly looked at the person beside her, her eyes seemingly reddened by jealousy, radiating endless malice. Her voice was restrained to the point of being stiff and hoarse, Do you have nothing else to do? The person beside her was startled, instinctively taking a step back, somewhat baffled. They had just been fine, but now she was like this. He didnt investigate further, merely giving her another puzzled nce before saying, Commander asked me to call Kevin rk and Arthur North, Ill go first. Bonnie wanted to respond, but her throat was too dry and painful, she couldnt utter a sound, she could only watch the person walk away. She stood there, taking deep breaths to adjust her emotions. She watched the person who had just been standing beside her, calling Kevin rk and Arthur North. She watched Kevin rk, Arthur North, and Allonzo Hobson leave together. Before leaving, Kevin rk caressed Daisy Zanes face, talked to Michael Jackson and Juan Wright for a while, and then left. So, one day the man who had no room for women in his heart would also be so tender towards a woman, showering her with love, caring, adoration in every way. This Daisy Zane was truly something, able to make a mans eyes full of her and only her. If she had known Kevin rk was conquerable, she wouldnt have endured hardships at the military district. She should have stayed by his side, using some enchanting methods instead. She tried so hard to be worthy of him, wanting him to look at her more. She couldnt just let someone else snatch him away. If he could like a woman, then she must also find a way for him to fall for her. Sister, what are you doing? As Bonnie was thinking, a voice suddenly appeared behind her, startling her. Recognizing the voice, she knew it was her younger brother, George Maxwell. She turned around, not bothering to hide the disgust, jealousy, unwillingness, and ambition in her eyes. She bluntly said, What am I doing? When did you learn to walk so silently? Are you trying to scare someone to death? George looked at her shivering and nced at the emotions in her eyes. He casually said, You were lost in thought and didnt notice me. Why are you mad? Tell your brother whats bothering you. Though he was only two years younger than her and a notorious yboy, they had always had a good rtionship as siblings. Bonnie looked at him, not expecting him to help her with anything. She just wanted to rant about her troubles and vent, That woman. Kevin rks girlfriend. George squinted at her, I cant see her face clearly, but her body looks great. Its Daisy Zane. Oh. That celebrity, I know her, shes very beautiful. So, shes Kevin rks girlfriend. Yeah. George looked at her again, thenughed, Are you mad just because of this? A mere celebrity, aside from being beautiful, she has nothing else. She wants to be part of the rk family. Bonnie didnt say anything. George continued, Sister, when did you start caring about people like this? Guys, they love to y around. Wait until he gets tired of all the shy girls outside. The one he marries must be an all-round outstanding woman who can bear the title of housemistress. Before, Bonnie also thought so. But today, she suddenly changed her mind. There had never been a moment where her sense of crisis was as strong as it was now. This woman was not simple, not simple at all. Although she couldnt quite figure out why someone from Cold Green Vige would have such marksmanship, she had to be on guard. Her marksmanship is very good. Bonnie Maxwell said, Almost on par with Kevin rk. Really? George Maxwell was surprised for a moment, then looked at Daisy Zane from a distance and said, Doesnt look like it. The two fell silent for a moment, and George Maxwell said again, So, this means youre unhappy about it. Bonnie Maxwell didnt say anything, just tacitly agreed. George Maxwellughed and said, Sister, you grew up here too. Theres no way she could steal the spotlight. Bonnie Maxwell looked up at him. So what if she has good marksmanship? George Maxwell said, Youve also been ying with guns since you were little. Do you remember the games we used to y as kids? A fleeting smile shed through Bonnie Maxwells eyes. George Maxwell also smiled and said, Lets go and im the stage back. Let everyone see who is truly capable of bing Mrs. rk. After satisfying her urge to try her hand at shooting, Daisy Zane sat in the back and watched James Collins and the others y. As she watched them, she talked to Charles Amos, telling him to honor these uncles and brothers in the future. Charles Amos nodded, saying that he would set aside a pension for each of them. Juan Wrightughed and said, Why not just open a nursing home and put us all inside? That way, when were old, we can all stay together. Daisy Zaneughed and said, Thats not a bad idea. As they were chatting, a whistle sounded nearby. Daisy Zane and the others looked up. They saw Bonnie Maxwell and a man walking over. The two of them looked about fifty to sixty percent alike. Although Daisy Zane had never seen the man, she could guess that he and Bonnie Maxwell were rted by blood. Michael Jackson and Juan Wrights expressions changed. They both knew that back then, only a few people had heard that Bonnie Maxwell had been designated as the future wife of Third Master. Even Thomas Firway still believed that Bonnie Maxwell should be Third Masters wife. The appearance of these two people here now clearly meant they were up to no good. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright immediately walked up to them and smiled, Miss Maxwell, Young Master Maxwell, the Third Master has just been called away by the Commander and is not here. George Maxwell smiled and said, Its alright, were not looking for Third Master. We just saw arge crowd here and wanted to join in the excitement. Juan Wright rubbed his hands together andughed, Young Master Maxwell, when Third Master left, he specifically ordered that no one else is allowed toe near. Please dont make things difficult for us as his subordinates. How could we be considered others!? George Maxwell insisted. Bonnie Maxwell, on the other hand, directly went to pick up a revolver. Juan Wright wanted to stop her, but when he saw her pick up the gun, he and Michael Jackson immediately shielded Daisy Zane and Charles Amos behind them. Bonnie Maxwell looked at their actions, chuckled softly, and then focused on loading six bullets into the revolving handgun. After loading, she aimed at the target in the distance. She fired six shots, each one in the 10-ring. James Collins, standing next to her, watched her and said with a slight lift of his beautiful peach blossom eyes, Not bad. This is called not bad, my friend, you dont understand. George Maxwell said. This level of skill, I dont quite understand. James Collins disassembled a handgun next to him and then began reassembling it, After all, I started with this level of skill when I first handled guns. Shameless boasting. Bonnie Maxwell said. James Collins knew that she hade to make trouble as soon as this woman walked over and nced at his sister. So, he didnt bother being polite. He shrugged his shoulders, What I know is that mediocre people cant understand us geniuses. Bonnie Maxwell nced at him again, ignoring him, and looked directly at Daisy Zane, saying, Do you dare topete? Chapter 255 - 244: Accepting the Challenge Chapter 255: Chapter 244: epting the Challenge Trantor: 549690339 The afternoon sun was a bit harsh. Juan Wright and Michael Jackson stepped forward, instantly shielding Daisy Zane and Charles Amos from the sun. Little Charles also adjusted his position so that Michael Jackson could block the sun even more thoroughly. Then, because of his cleverness, he turned to Daisy Zane and smiled. Ignoring Bonnie Maxwells wordspletely. Daisy Zane nced at him, then raised her eyes to look at the backs of the two men in front of her: Im not interested, she said. Are you not interested, or are you scared? Bonnie Maxwell asked. Daisy Zane ignored her. James Collins assembled his gun and fired, breaking the awkward silence that had appeared all of a sudden. George Maxwell chuckled: She must be scared, after all The ones brought by Third Master, if they lose, it is Third Masters face they are losing. Daisy Zane didnt listen to his words. However, James Collins was about to speak, when Michael Jackson made his move. He twisted Georges arm around his back in two movements, bending his waist. Ah! George screamed in pain. He tried to fight back, but Michael Jackson was too strong. The struggle only made it more painful for him, What are doing you doing! Let me go, Michael Jackson! Michael Jackson, let him go. Bonnie Maxwell took a couple of steps forward, but was blocked by Juan Wright. What do you think youre doing? Bonnie Maxwell red at them. Lady Maxwell, Juan Wright beamed at her, Third Master has instructed us before he left to not allow anyone to approach this area. Weve already politely told you both. However, Young Master Maxwell not only didnt leave, he was also bad-mouthing us. Might as well start a friendly match. James Collins looked at them, his mouth curving slightly upward. They were true followers of Kevin rk. They always followed protocol and were relentlessly strict on their principles. Bonnie Maxwell saw Georges face turn pale due to pain but she couldnt attack them, so she warned: Michael Jackson, dont go overboard. Nothings overboard, were just having a friendly match, Juan Wright, his fox-like eyes glinting with innocence. Michel Jackson followed up calmly: Lady Maxwell, I really didnt want to, but its Young Master Maxwells mouth that Was I wrong? She is just afraid, George Maxwell, who was gasping in pain, blurted out. Shes afraid of losing face here. Shes afraid others around would find out she is nowhere close to my sister. People would start to think: the girlfriend Third Master has ispletely unable to handle being Mrs. rk Michel Jacksons grip tightened, Georges voice choked back because of the pain. The military district was semi-open to the public on that day. Although the shooting range was not open, there were also no people training. Standing around were a few guards and some of Kevin rks subordinates. Everyone was standing on the periphery ording to protocol. None of them moved, spoke, or even nced over to them. After all, there are unspoken rules in this ce. If you were in, you had to abide. George had said those words to let these people hear. He wanted to make it clear to them who was the perfect fit for the position of Mrs. rk. They had to be clear about the situation and be loyal to the right person. However, Daisy Zane had always ignored these words because how she did and whether she was or wasnt Kevin rks match was nobodys business. She texted Holt Lawrence a few times on her phone. Once again, turned down Holt Lawrences invitation to meet. Seeing that she had no reaction, and Michael Jackson could no longer shield him from the sun, Charles Amos ran over to James Collins, watching him disassemble the guns and exining the mechanism in whispers. Michael Jackson, let him go. were leaving. Bonnie Maxwell, always considerate of Kevin rk, was still three parts polite to them. Sister, lets not leave. George Maxwell said stubbornly, If anyone should leave, it should be them. George, shut up. Bonnie Maxwell said. George Maxwell had lost face, and there was no way he would keep quiet without getting it back. Gritting his teeth against the pain in his arm, he said: Juan Wright, Michael Jackson. Youre nothing more than two dogs raised by the rk Family, and yet you dare to treat me this way. Daisy Zane, who was busily typing on her cell phone, paused and looked up at George Maxwell. You should be aware of the rtionship between the rk and Maxwell Families. Treating me this way, neither family will let you off. George Maxwell continued, Your futures will not be pleasant. Young Master Maxwell must be mistaken. Juan Wright retorted calmly, We only listen tomands from Third Master rk himself. This has nothing to do with the rk Family, let alone the Maxwell Family. Even Arthur North would show some deference to the Maxwell Family, and yet you dare treat me this way. George Maxwell gritted his teeth, Arthur North wont let you off either. George, I told you to shut up! Bonnie Maxwell said sharply. Before Daisy Zane, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright had thoroughly embarrassed her. It was bad enough, but George Maxwell persisted with his provocations. Meanwhile, James Collins was showing Charles Amos various kinds of handguns, whilementing, How does the Maxwell Family end up with such a stupid son? Not only is he foolish, but he alsocks respect, daring to criticize the rks. Does he think the Maxwells are on par with the rks, or that the rks cant survive without the Maxwells? Hisment, neither loud nor soft, was heard by everyone present. Theplexion on Bonnie Maxwells face turned even paler. Michael, let him go. Daisy Zane finished typing her message and sent it. Upon hearing her, Michael immediately let go of his grip. George Maxwell instantly backed off, muttering and cursing while clutching his shoulder, and retreated to Bonnie Maxwells side. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright paid him no further attention, waiting instead for Daisy Zanes next instruction. Bonnie Maxwell red at George, indicating for him to shut up. But George remained indignant, grumbling andining. Daisy Zane put away her cell phone, stood up, and looked at Bonnie Maxwell, casually asking, What are wepeting over? Hearing her voice, both James Collins and Charles Amos turned their heads towards Daisy Zane. A sh of resentment flickered in Bonnie Maxwells eyes, but she didnt say anything. She really wanted topete, to embarrass Daisy, but Georges outburst had made a spectacle of them. She regretted having impulsively invited George toe. What happened? Werent you saying you wanted topete? Daisy Zane looked at Bonnie and said, Are you scared? Bonnie Maxwell gave a softugh: Scared? Im afraid youre the one whos scared. Say it then, what are wepeting over? Daisy Zane nced at the revolver that Bonnie had touched earlier, Are wepeting with this? How? Teacher, think twice. Juan Wright suddenly whispered a word of caution. Daisy Zane shot him a look. It was a in and peaceful nce, but Juan Wright read deep,plex meanings from it that reassured him greatly. So, he stopped talking. Letspete with this. Bonnie Maxwell, dressed inbat gear, walked forward a few steps and picked up the revolver again, Do you dare? How do wepete? Daisy Zane seemed to find her talkative. Bonnie Maxwell smiled, opening the cylinder of the revolver, and said: This revolver can load six bullets. We will blindfold ourselves, load only one bullet, spin the cylinder, and take turns shooting at our arms. Lets see who the bullet hits. Teacher. Lady Zane Seeing the worried expressions of Juan Wright and Michael Jackson, Bonnie Maxwells smile turned nastier: Of course, if you can predict where the bullet is, you can aim it elsewhere. But if the shot you fire elsewhere is empty, or if the bullet hits in the shot you take at your own arm, you lose.. Chapter 256 - 245: Scaring Everyone Silly Chapter 256: Chapter 245: Scaring Everyone Silly Trantor: 549690339 Bonnie Maxwells move was to embroil Daisy Zane in this matter. Either Daisy Zane would be too frightened to do anything out of fear, or she would end up with one useless arm. Of course, at this ce, and for the sake of Kevin rks face, Bonnie would not dare to ruin Daisys arm for real. Because she was certain that Daisy could not predict where the bullet was. Daisy would definitely move the gun elsewhere out of fear. But if she really does ruin an arm, that would be an unexpected gain. Both parties in thepetition must be willing to ept a loss. At most, she would have to apologize to the rk Family; her father would protect her, and the rk Family would never cause trouble with her or her family for the sake of a lowly girl. As long as enough time passes, this incident will invariably be forgotten. That way, there is no loss inpeting. Is such a small, brokenpetition even worth my sisters time? James Collins, holding Charles Amoss hand, sent him to Juan Wrights side, then walked to Daisys side and said to Bonnie, Illpete with you. What does it have to do with you? George Maxwell disdainfully said, If shes too scared, she just has to admit that shes a coward and not as good as my sister. What are you doing, substituting for her? Mepeting with her is already giving her a lot of face, said James Collins, And now you want my sister to make a move? Have you no shame? Bonnie ignored him and looked directly at Daisy: Do you want topete? If not just give up. Daisy nced at her, said nothing, and picked up a revolver from the side. Sister called James Collins. Daisy looked down at the gun in her hand and said, Dont interfere. They had always obeyed Daisys words. Telling him not to interfere meant that James Collins dared not say anything more; he just kept his eyes on the gun in her hand. At this moment, Kevin rk and the others returned. Whats going on? Kevin noticed Bonnie and George Maxwell from afar, then hurriedly walked over to Daisys side. Daisy was spinning the cylinder of the revolver in her hand and raised her eyes to look at Kevin when she heard him: Its nothing; just a littlepetition. When Bonnie saw Kevins disregard for everything around him, she felt as if her heart was bleeding. She bit her teeth hard to prevent her lips from trembling. Kevins appearance has always been very aggressive. Among their group of friends who had known him for so long, regardless of whether he was smiling or not, his mostmon appearance was one of deep aggression. Who had ever seen Third Master rk so gentle and affectionate before meeting Daisy? That alone was enough to drive Bonnie mad. She had loved this man for so long, and silently given so much for him. How could she bear to see him look at another woman like that? She had to have this man in her grasp. Kevin looked at George Maxwell and Bonnie, his eyes suddenly devoid of emotion, even a bit overbearing: What are youpeting in? Bonnie just looked back at him and did not say anything. George Maxwell, who had always been cursing bitterly, did not dare to speak when facing Kevins gaze. Michael Jackson then went over to him and briefly exined the situation. After hearing Michael Jacksons exnation, not only Allonzo Hobson but even the usually expressionless Enamel Cannon frowned. Kevin rk, needless to say, looked cold in an instant after hearing it. He looked directly at Bonnie: Miss Maxwell, are you trying to p my face? Bonnie underestimated her own psychological endurance; the mans aura in front of her was like a mountain pressing down on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe: I, I didnt. You didnt, then what are you trying to do? Kevin took a step forward, Taking advantage of my absence to bully my girlfri Before he could finish, Kevins wrist was grabbed, and he turned his head to look at the little girl. As their eyes met, Kevin sensed the disdain in the little girls eyes. Upon closer examination, it seemed like she was scoffing at his wordiness. As expected, Daisys hand forcefully pulled Kevin back, difficult for others to notice, then walked to meet Bonnie, holding the gun. Everyone was watching the furious Third Master rk being teased by his wife in the blink of an eye. Not to mention those who had grown up with him; even Theo rk or Elina rk rarely interrupted when he was angry. Because the retaliation they received was Third Master constantly finding new ways to hurt them. Even close brothers and fathers could not escape. Who would have thought that one day, there would be a woman who could make Third Master rk shut up. Standing in front of Bonnie, Daisy was only two or three centimeters taller, and her expression had no change. But that sense of looking down on her, that aura that looked down on Bonnie, was enough to shock people. She said, You see, I am someone whos a bit afraid of wordiness. Arthur North: Daisy Zane said, I find it troublesome to take turns shooting. How about this, Ill shoot first as an example, and Miss Maxwell can follow, okay? How should I put it? Daisy Zanes voice was not very different from her usual cold, indifferent, and unhurried tone. However, it gave people an impression of wickedness and wildness, as if she did not regard anyone else as worthy adversaries. Bonnie Maxwell instinctively resisted Daisys aura and scorn. Most importantly, she felt that Daisy could note up with anything impressive. Whatever Daisy could do, she was sure she could do too. So she lifted her chin and said, Fine, do as you please. Daisys eyebrows raised slightly as she took a ck blindfold from a nearby podium. The shooting range was well-equipped, and the blindfold was likely used for blindfolded shooting training here. She quickly tied the blindfold around her eyes and fastened the strap. Then she picked up the gun, opened the cylinder, and loaded a bullet into it. Arthur watched her movements. His hand, which was hanging by his side, twitched as if he wanted to grab her wrist but then stopped. He had faith in her, but faith was not the same as ack of worry. Once the bullet was loaded, Daisy lightly turned the cylinder with her left hand. The sound of the cylinder rolling was quiet and almost imperceptible in the vast shooting range. However, it sounded like it had been amplified a hundred times in everyones ears, as if the sound could vibrate their eardrums. No one knew what Daisy had in mind, but they all felt inexplicably tense. The sound of the cylinder rolling stopped when she snapped it back into ce. Immediately after, the sound of the hammer being pressed down could be heard. At that sound, everyones hearts tightened. Daisys following action raised everyones hearts to their throats, and they all held their breaths. She held the gun in her right hand, her thumb pressed down on the hammer, and then pointed the gun directly at her temple. As everyone held their breaths and their bodies stiffened, she pulled the trigger. Click, click, click, click. Click. Five times in a row. Each sound crisp and decisive, without any hesitation. With each trigger pull, Bonnie Maxwells eyes widened. But after the fifth time, Daisy was unharmed. Even those standing beside her were frightened. Each sound was like a giant hand grabbing and squeezing everyones hearts. Juan Wrights legs trembled, and if it werent for Michael Jacksons support, he might have already copsed. Michaels face turned pale, even his lips losing color. Although there was no change in Hugo rks facial expressions, the hand in his pocket clenched tightly, and his heartbeat quickened with every sound. Xavier Dominic touched his heart, and only after a while did he suddenly inhale deeply, taking in a breath of fresh air. He felt like his heart and lungs were about to burst. Charles Amos ran to Daisy, looked up at her with reddened eyes. If the situationsted any longer, tears might have spilled from his eyes. Only when he saw that Daisy was fine did he forcefully hold back his tears. In the entire shooting range, only Arthur North and James Collins seemed somewhat normal. James waspletely trusting in Daisy. Aside from trusting her, Arthur was also forcing himself to hold up, at least partway. Yet even with his efforts, Hugo noticed the signs C the restraint in trying to calm himself down, making all the worries and fears turn into boundless murderous aura. Upon closer inspection, one could see that his clenched hand was trembling slightly. In the whole shooting range, Daisy seemed to be the only one who remembered theirpetition. The ck blindfold contrasted sharply with her fair skin, creating a strong visual impact. Her pale pink lips curved into a beautiful arc. In an instant, she untied the blindfold around her eyes, hooked the gun on her fingertip, and handed it to Bonnie Maxwell. She said, Miss Maxwell, its your turn now.. Chapter 257 - 246: Slap in the Face (The previous chapter was modified) Chapter 257: Chapter 246: p in the Face (The previous chapter was modified) Trantor: 549690339 Bonnie Maxwells eyes widened as she stared at Daisy Zane, her entire body petrified, stunned, unable to believe what she was seeing. How did she do it? How is this possible? How could this be possible? Daisy Zane disregarded her thoughts and handed the gun over to her. Instinctively catching the gun, Bonnie Maxwell gazed at it for a while before spinning the cylinder open. Just before spinning it open, she was confident that there was no bullet inside, but as soon as she opened it, there it was. And if she fired again, this bullet could be shot out. Kevin rks eyes were on Daisy Zane all along. The sight of the bullet caught in his peripheral vision, startled him. She pulled the trigger so decisively, he had thought that there might not be a bullet in there at all. But Seeing Bonnie Maxwells reaction, James Collins chuckled, Did you think my sister would cheat? Let me tell you, when youve got the skills, you dont need cheap tricks. How is this possible? George Maxwell reacted, staring at the gun in disbelief. Why is it impossible? James Collins folded his arms, speaking on behalf of his sister as if he were her spokesperson, Just because you cant do it, doesnt mean my sister cant. Her ability is so strong, it will make you kneel and scream daddy. The others gradually came to their senses, looking at Daisy Zane. The admiration, even submission, was evident in their eyes. This was more than just predicting the bullets location; shed directly turned the bullet to a specific position and then slid it back into the gun. And she didnt hesitate when she pulled the trigger. This was 100% confidence, precise knowledge that she would not make a single mistake. Apart from Kevin rk, no one else there dared to say they have this skill. Nor did they possess the guts to hold a gun to their own head. Miss Maxwell, its your turn, Daisy Zane said, looking directly at her, hands in her pockets. Bonnie Maxwells eyes slowly moved up to Daisy Zanes face, stupefied as she observed the mocking expression on her beautiful face. Whats the matter? Not so brave now? James Collins turned his mockery up to the max, Just a moment ago, didnt you act invincible, filled with a vainglorious sense of self-importance and arrogance? Now youre scared? Bonnie Maxwells face turned red, at a loss for words. If youre scared to y, theres no problem. Just admit defeat, James Collins continued, What were you saying before? Oh, calling yourself a wimp, a coward, admitting that youre not as good as my sister. Well, go ahead and admit it. You cant go too far! George Maxwell protested. Thispetition was your suggestion and the terms were set by you, rebutted Allonzo Hobson, The method of y was also agreed upon by you. Now that youre losing, youre ming others for being unfair. Whats the matter? You think your family should have all the perks in this world? If we really wanted to bully you, do you think youd be able to talk now or even breathe? Hugo rkmented casually. George Maxwell immediately shut up. All eyes turned back to Bonnie Maxwell. Looking at the gun in her hand and the derisive faces around her, especially Daisy Zanes contemptuous sneer and Kevin rks indifference, Bonnie felt cornered. Right now, she was in the line of fire and didnt have the power to fight back or a way out of her predicament. But to openly admit that she was inferior to Daisy Zane, she would rather die. Therefore, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she red viciously at Daisy Zane. Then she tossed aside the gun Daisy Zane used and picked up a new one. Blindfolding herself again, she spun the cylinder open, loaded the bullet, and spun the cylinder. This time, the noise of the spinning cylinder was as if a mute button had been hit. All faces watching the revolver were expressionless. After spinning it and a little whileter, Bonnie Maxwell manually stopped the cylinder. Then she checked the location of the bullet, and spun once again. It was clear to everyone; Bonnie Maxwell was nervous. Not simply from her pursed lips, but also from her ragged breaths. Finally, the cylinder was slid back in and the hammer pulled back. When Bonnie ced the gun against her temple, her hand was slightly trembling. Sis George Maxwell took a step forward, swallowing nervously. Bonnie Maxwell didnt pay him any heed and ced her hand on the trigger, pulling it twice. Click, click. After two rounds, she stopped. After waiting for a while, seeing that she didnt move, James asked, What happened? Is it stuck? Bonnie Maxwells lips quivered, yet she still remained motionless. Based on her judgement, the bullet was either in the third or the fourth chamber. She simply couldnt juggle the bullet to put itst, she could only determine its approximate position. That too, was an approximate guess. She knew she was too nervous, too aggressive. Her judgement wasnt urate due to psychological interference. She couldnt bet her life on this. So, after pausing for a while, Bonnie moved the gun away and pointed it towards the shooting range. Seeing her move, Daisy Zane raised her brow. And just as expected, the next shot was nk. With a click, the world seemed to quiet down. Bonnie suddenly took off her blindfold, looking at the gun with a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and anger in her eyes. James, unceremoniously, burst outughing. Daisy Zane also chuckled and said lightly, I bet the next shot is also nk. Bonnie red at her, her eyes filled with spite, Thats impossible. Daisy Zanes cell phone buzzed twice, she took it out and nced at it whilst replying to a message, If the next shot isnt nk, you win. I dont need that. Bonnie said, and fired. Her eyes even prepared to blink in anticipation. But there was no bullet. HaC Xavier couldnt help butugh. Oh my god, I cant- - James bent overughing, Sweetdy, are you here to amuse me today? Youre going to kill me withughter. You sounded so confident. Bonnie looked at the gun in her hand, she couldnt have made a mistake, it was impossible. She fired again, this time it did go off. Anticipating her action, Daisy and Arthur shielded Charles ears. Their hands crashed together. Daisy noticed that Arthurs hand was unusually cold. It was rare for Arthurs hands to be cold. The two exchanged a look, no need for words, each covering one of Charles ears. The echo from the shot rang in Bonnies ears. It felt like the bullet had hit her face instead of the shooting range. Her pride of over the years was trampled underfoot today, and in front of so many people at that. By afternoon, the whole military district would know. Theyd say she was inferior, that she was nothing. Her face felt like it was on fire, as if it had been pped hard. But she would never bow down to a damn girl, she was Miss Maxwell, born noble. She would never lower her head to a damn girl. Even if she lost, she would lose with dignity. So she straightened her back and said to Daisy, I lost. Daisy fixed her gaze on her, took her hand from Charles ear and it was immediately held by Arthur, We all saw it. James quickly added, Not only did you lose, you lost terribly. Bonnie didnt bother with him, she took a deep breath, Say it, what do you want? Her tone was like she was bestowing charity. James clicked his tongue lightly, if this was not the ce, he would have long torn the mouths of these two siblings. Daisy gave her a look, then turned to George Maxwell, and whispered, Tell him to apologize. Apologize for what? Bonnie frowned. Apologize to Michael Jackson and Juan Wright.. Chapter 258 - 247: You’re So Annoying Chapter 258: Chapter 247: Youre So Annoying Trantor: 549690339 Michael Jackson and Juan Wright were quietly watching themotion when they suddenly heard their names and were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and it took them two seconds to react. Immediately after, they received a gaze from Kevin rk. The two of them suddenly swallowed their saliva together, and Juan Wright walked up to Kevin rk and said, George Maxwell called us dogs raised by the rk Family. Kevin rks eyshes fluttered slightly, and then he looked towards Daisy Zane. He was still wondering why this little girl would ept a challenge simply because of someones nasty words. So, it turned out that it was for them. Daisy Zane continued to look at George Maxwell. George Maxwell hesitated for a moment and then shouted, Why should I apologize? Can they even bear my apology? Were all human, arent we? How can we not bear it? Daisy Zane said softly, We didnt even mind your cheap apology. You George Maxwell was about to curse, but when he looked at Kevin rk, his words were suddenly stuck in his throat. As for Michael Jackson and Juan Wright, even if he got beaten up himself, he didnt want to let go. But Kevin rk was someone who genuinely scared him. So, just one nce from Kevin made him behave. Kevin rk held Daisy Zanes hand and looked at George Maxwell, You think this ce is your Maxwell Familys home court, and because others are considering the venue, they dare not do anything. So you bully my people. I, I George Maxwell was forced to take a step back by Kevin rks imposing aura, I didnt. Do you think the rks and the Maxwells are close, and even if my people are offended, the rk Family will not pursue the matter for the sake of our rtionship? Kevin rks words were a direct jab at the hearts of the brother and sister. Third Master Bonnie Maxwell called out to him, but looking at his increasingly cold expression, she didnt say anything else. The rks are the rks, and I am Kevin rk, Kevin said slowly, Enamel Cannon is the one who has a connection with you, and youre trying to bully me. Hugo rk: Kevin rks narrow eyes exuded a bone-chilling coldness, and in an instant, he uttered two words: Apologize. George Maxwell was already scared silly by Kevin rks aura and didnt even know what he was saying. Bonnie Maxwell also realized that todays incident couldnt end without an apology. She immediately tugged on George Maxwell and said, Apologize! George Maxwell came to his senses, nced at Michael Jackson and Juan Wright. He still didnt want to apologize, but facing Kevin rks gaze, he dared not disobey. So he hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said, Im sorry. Sorry for what? Daisy Zane asked, Sorry to whom? Michael Jackson and Juan Wright were so touched by Daisy Zane that they nearly shed tears on the spot. George Maxwell nced at Daisy Zane again, then looked at Kevin rk, gritted his teeth and said, Juan Wright, Michael Jackson, Im sorry. I shouldnt have said those words, I was out of line. Youre the bigger person, dont take it to heart. What else? Kevin rk asked. George Maxwell looked at Kevin rk again and after two seconds, he finally understood. He looked at Daisy Zane with a desperate expression, Lady Zane, Im sorry. I apologize for my remarks and hope you wont hold it against me. Oh, you can speak humannguage, James Collins sneered, I thought you had a taste of the saltiness in the public toilet at noon today. Your words stink. Daisy Zanes lips quivered as if she wanted to suppress herughter, but she couldnt help herself, and her smile spread up. When she smiled, both Kevin rk and James Collins followed suit. The faces of George Maxwell and Bonnie Maxwell indeed looked as if they had been to the public toilet, both stinking and green. Especially Bonnie Maxwell, seeing Daisy Zaneughing, she wished she could y her skin and drink her blood. Last time at the rks residence, Kevin rk had given her face and spoke to her privately. Today, he trampled her dignity on the ground without relenting, especially in front of that wretched girl and because of that wretched girl. But she started the trouble, so she could only bear it. Are you satisfied? Kevin rk asked. Satisfied, satisfied Michael Jackson and Juan Wright said in unison. Kevin rk nced at the two of them. Their smiles froze and they immediately stood upright, not daring to move. They also realized that it wasnt their satisfaction that was being asked. Then everyone looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, and instead of saying whether she was satisfied or not, she said, Its too hot out here, lets go. Fine. After Kevin rk responded, he took her hand without looking at anyone else and walked away directly. James Collins nced at them, picked up Charles Amos, and followed them. The rest of the people followed them as well, leaving George Maxwell and Bonnie Maxwell standing in ce, watching them walk away. Bonnie Maxwell stared at their retreating figures, her chest heaving violently, her entire body trembling uncontrobly, as if she wanted to cough up blood. Daisy Zane! Daisy Zane! Daisy Zane! All the humiliation she suffered today would be returned to her double someday. Sister Get lost! Why are you taking it out on me? Its you who were defeated. Because of you, I was beaten and scolded again I told you to get lost! Not long after they left, Kevin rk said, Michael Jackson. Third Master. George Maxwell within half a year, I dont want to see him step outside of the Maxwell familys door, Kevin rk said. Michael Jackson immediately understood: Alright. Just leave him some breathing room. Kevin rk said, And by the way, tell his father it was me who had him beaten. Yes. Michael Jackson responded and quickly left. Hugo rk nced at him but didnt say anything. His Third Uncle wanted to publicly break the facade with the Maxwell family. If not for the fact that taking action here would cause trouble for his father. George Maxwell wouldnt be able to leave this ce today. Moreover, with the Maxwell family this was definitely just the beginning. George Maxwell was treated as an ancestor at home. If he was beaten, the Maxwell family would never let it go. Even if they didnt pursue it openly, they would definitely not let it go in private. The rk family was the rk family, and his Third Uncle waspletely detached from all the interests of the rk family. So he didnt have to worry too much when he acted, and likewise, others considerations for him would be rtively less than those for the rk family. So its very likely that the Maxwell family would confront his Third Uncle separately. But then again his Third Uncles bad reputation was more than just a talk. Even without the rk family, his Third Uncle could still stand at the top of the Imperial Capital. Are you satisfied now? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane nced at him: Its alright. Kevin rk smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Charles Amos, who somehow escaped from James Collins, ran up to Daisy Zane, grabbed her leg, and restrained her pace. Daisy Zane stopped and looked down at him. Kevin rk and the others stopped as well. Little Charles looked up, his eyes still a little red, his mouth pouted, and red at her angrily. What? Im angry, Charles said. You apologize, Charles said. Why should I? Daisy Zane asked, Did I offend you? Yes, you did, Charles voice was a little childish, and even more fierce because of his anger. Especially that expression, even his little eyebrows seemed to be standing up. What did I do to offend you? Daisy Zanes voice didnt have any ups and downs because he was just a child, but it sounded strangely childish, especially when paired with Charles babyish tone. As soon as it was mentioned, Charles eyes became even redder. Hold it back, Daisy Zane said. Charles held back his breath, and when he finally opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, You pointed a gun at yourself.. I hate you! Chapter 259 - 248: Old Age Chapter 259: Chapter 248: Old Age Trantor: 549690339 Charles Amos was just a child, after all; several adults were already frightened, let alone a nine-year-old child like him. Daisy Zane nced down at him for a while and said, Its not okay. What if it is? There is no what if. How do you know theres no what if? Charles countered. I know because I put the bullet in, Daisy replied softly. You youre being unreasonable, said Charles. And youre making a fuss for no reason. The other men: Charles was speechless. He just wanted to get angry and make a fuss so that she would learn not to take her own life for granted. Let go, Daisys voice became colder, Dont keep going on and on. Charless chubby cheeks puffed up more, and he red at her, holding onto her leg with both hands. Let go. I wont, you apologize and promise not to do that anymore. Do you want me to beat you again? Charles stared at her but didnt say anything. Daisy Zane looked down at him, and after a while, said, Dont make me hit you. Youre a dictator! Charles growled angrily. Whats wrong with being a dictator? Little Charles was obviously no match for Daisy in terms of skill level and instantly didnt know what to say anymore. Even his momentum shrank by half. The other men just watched the show, not one of them offering to help him. They just watched him lose. Daisy Zane asked, Are youing or not? I, I Charles thought for a while and decided to use ast-ditch move. He said, You promise not to do this again. Otherwise Ill message Dad and tell on you. Except for Kevin rk, those present didnt really know much about Charless background. Even James Collins didnt know much. He only knew that the child had been with Daisy since he met her. He didnt ask too many questions, and the only thing he knew was that the child had no blood rtion to her. Hugo rk knew even less. At this moment, when the word father was mentioned, his first instinct was to look at Kevin rk. But Kevin just watched the young and old with a smile in his eyes. Upon hearing Charless words, he lifted his eyebrows gently, then observed Daisys reaction. There were no signs of jealousy, envy, or unhappiness in his expression. Daisy looked down and stared at Charles with narrowed eyes. Little Charless heart skipped a beat or two due to her gaze, but he still braced himself and said, Ill tell him right now. Then, he let go of her leg with one arm and went to grab his cell phone. Daisy watched as he unlocked her phone, then found the mobile number that Jack Amos used to use. After Jack passed away, this number was never canceled, and she paid for the phone card every year. Daisy suddenly grabbed Charless hand: Thats enough, when will you stop? Seeing that she seemed to havepromised, Charles said softly, Can you promise you wont gamble with your life anymore? I didnt Daisy was on the verge of losing her patience and didnt bother exining, just saying, Mhm. Really? Mhm. Since youve promised, you have to keep your word, Charles said. Youre an adult; you have to lead by example. Kevin rk and the others watched as Daisy Zane took a deep breath, and they all smiled. Mhm, replied Daisy coldly. Charless eyes reddened, and he immediately cheered up. Let go. Charles let go, turned around and went to grab Kevins pants. Then he looked up at him, blinking his eyes. His little look was as if to say, You see, I have a way. Kevin rk raised the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to pat his head. Daisy Zane took in the expressions and actions of the two, and then looked at Kevin, pausing before saying, Alright, you two have your way. Kevinughed and said, Its Charless credit; I wouldnt dare to take it. Daisy nced at him again, without saying a word, and walked slowly ahead. James Collins followed them, looking at Kevin rk and Charles Amos. Before Kevin, Charles would not have dared to do this. Not only is his sister no longer cold, but even little Charles has changed. This man is truly extraordinary. Time flies, and September 16 arrives. A few days ago, the equipment was set up at the Gathering Joy School. In the ssrooms, to avoid disturbing the students, the whole room was equipped with 360-degree high-definition cameras, and no photographers were allowed in. Two sses were used for the recording of the variety show. These two sses were chosen after obtaining the consent of the school, parents, and students. Since the start of the school term, these matters had been negotiated, and those who disagreed were transferred to other sses. Gathering Joy is a royal private school in the Imperial Capital. Those who attend are either from wealthy backgrounds or have outstanding academic achievement, enabling them to receive free tuition to improve the schools overall enrollment rate. Especially the two sses chosen for the variety show recording, if the school were to rank ss average grades, these sses would be considered rtively poor performers. After all, the school wouldnt want their top students to participate in the recording. Although their grades are rtively poor, their family backgrounds are impressive. For many years, Gathering Joy has been known for these two sses, called the Crown Prince sses, indicating their wealth and status. Because of this, the management of these sses is rtivelyx. However, since they will be recording the program to showcase the hard work of Senior Three students, their requirements over these two weeks will be the same as those for other sses. The day before the recording, the director, the producer, and the eight participants had dinner together and briefly discussed the recording process while getting to know each other. After all, the program team had alreadymunicated with the teachers of all subjects, and the eight participants had only to follow the teachers instructions. Moreover, it is a two-week closed recording. During the weekends, the students can go home or leave the school like those who stay in the lodgings. The rest of the time, they must be in school. No one is allowed to go out at noon and evening. The only constion is that they can use their cell phones after returning to the dormitory. After meeting with the program team, Daisy Zane went home in the evening and began packing her clothes and daily necessities. Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper returned to Truro City for a while and came back yesterday at noon. The two of them went back to the vi and packed things together for Daisy Zane. Meanwhile, Daisy and Kevin were in the living room, taking Charles game controller and ying video games. Little Charles, feeling wronged, stood by and watched the two of them y, trying to make them feel guilty. However, the two were chatting away while ying,pletely ignoring Charles watching. So, after a while, he went to y the piano on his own. Kevin saw him leave and, while ying the game, said, The artists participating in this variety show are generally quite young. Really? asked Daisy Zane. Is George Dunn young? Apart from George Dunn, the other four are quite young, Kevin said, focusing on the game. The other four Out of the eight, three are girls. Aside from George Dunn, the other four were specifically mentioned. Daisy raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, Oh, yes, they are quite young. One is just 19. Kevin nced at her. Taking advantage of this, Daisy swiftly made a series of moves, defeating Kevins side in the game. Therge disy screen showed the two letters K.O. on his half. Kevin didnt care and put down the controller. Looking at Daisy, he said, Whats wrong with being 19? 19 young, innocent Daisy looked into his eyes, energetic, full of vitality Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Kevins pupils still trembled slightly. He held her chin with the web of his thumb and index finger, his voice somewhat threatening as he asked, Are you trying to upset me on purpose again? You said it yourself, Daisy said, looking at him calmly. Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, and her smug expression after achieving her goal, Kevin had no choice but to kiss her on the lips and say, Miss Zane, you have a boyfriend. No matter how young or good-looking others may be, you must not look at them too much. Understand? Daisys lips curved up slightly, and she raised her hand to hook his jaw, saying, Dont worry, you have the advantage of being older. What kind of advantage is that? Daisy pulled his hand away and stood up, saying, The advantage of being respected as an elder. You Kevin was just about to reach for her when Daisy quickly moved one step ahead. After taking that step, she turned back and raised an eyebrow at Kevin nonchntly. Kevin:.. Chapter 260 - 249: Variety Show Recording Chapter 260: Chapter 249: Variety Show Recording Trantor: 549690339 Going to School program is going to be recorded, and the artists participating in the recording have been revealed online. So, there have been continuous online attacks on Daisy Zane. Of course, most of thements are good, positive, and encouraging. Only a small part is attacking, but it is disgusting enough. These negativements are divided into two categories, one saying that current actors enter the entertainment industry just to make money in the variety show circle. Another part attacks her for not having attended school and having no education. They say she doesnt even have an elementary school diploma, so why is she participating in a high school recording? As for these, Daisy Zane and her team still choose to ignore them and not engage. Actually, Daisy Zanes Facebook doesnt have many updates apart from promoting things. She rarely responds to online rumors or negativements from fans. She doesnt even have her own pictures. Mostly, there are just stills from her shows. When there is no new drama to promote, it seems as if Daisy Zane has disappeared from the world. She cant be photographed in daily life, and there is no news about her online. At first, everyone used to search for her online all the time, but gradually they got used to it and no longer bothered. The program team keeps the recording time a secret to avoid media or fans from surrounding the school. However, on the day of the recording, both media and fans still showed up at the school entrance. But before anything could start, they were dispersed, because Kevin rk had people stationed at the entrance early in the morning, covering the entire school. Anyone suspicious who approached would be asked to leave. Not to mention those media personnel carrying equipment. As its time for both boarding and day students to return to school, there are many people waiting at the gate. And the Imperial City Leafield Familys mark is very obvious. Everyone in Imperial Capital is aware, even the high school students are starting to understand the situation. Not only the media and fans, but even the students parents were rmed by this huge presence. Its the rk Family after all. Nobody knew what was happening, and they thought someone from the rk Family was visiting the school for inspection. The media didnt even dare to take sneak photos. In fact, Third Master rk was just worried that the crowd would add more trouble to the already congested entrance, and idents might happen from the massive gathering. Especially with students involved. If it were fansing, that would be fine, as they wouldnt cause trouble for the celebrities they supported and just wanted to catch a glimpse. But the problem was those unscrupulous media or malicious people pretending to be fans. Even if nothing happened, they would make an issue out of it. The most important thing is that, in case of any incident, Daisy Zane would definitely be implicated. So, Third Master rk stopped it at the source. And the program team came during the morning self-study session. By the time they were all there, the morning self-study had already been going on for twenty minutes. The entrance was quiet, and the rk Familys people even checked the surrounding areas for any hidden cameras. Even the trash on the ground was picked up. Not only was it quiet, but it was also clean. Im leaving, Daisy Zane said in the car. Kevin rk stared at her, I wont see you for five days. Its not like I havent been gone for five days before. Daisy Zane wore a simple sportswear outfit and had her hair up in a high ponytail. She wasnt wearing any makeup on her face. Remember to call me in the evening, Kevin rk said. Ill see about that. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane looked at him pitifully and decided to spare a moment, leaning in to give him a peck on the cheek before opening the car door and getting out. Her actions were so swift and smooth, the kiss was like that of a lord giving his mistress. Yes, a mistressnot even a principal wife. Kevin rk watched Daisy Zanes insouciant departure for a while before raising his hand to touch his cheek. Well, a mistress it is, then. This is the only kiss he would get for the next five days. Besides the ssroom, everywhere else would be apanied by a teacher taking photos. Quite a few cameras followed them. Ever since the eight of them gathered at the entrance, they were all wearing mics, and the cameras never left them. After entering the school, the assistant couldnt follow them any longer. So they had to carry their suitcases themselves. Once they arrived at the school, they were taken by the teacher to get their school uniforms and then to the dormitory. While getting their uniforms, the teacher introduced them to the dormitory rules. Wake-up bell at six-thirty in the morning. Morning self-study starts promptly at seven, said the teacher. But some students might get up earlier. Washing and rinsing are done in public areas. Your dormitory is quite close to the washing area, so it might be noisy in the morning. While listening, George Dunn took Daisy Zanes suitcase from her. She didnt hesitate to give it to him and then put her hands in her pockets. She had an aloof demeanor that made her hard to approach. Teacher, how many people are in each dorm room? asked one of the girls. Six people per room, the teacher said. The three of you girls will be together, along with three other students. Daisy Zane nced at the girl who asked the question, and then her gazended on the girls hand. Director Nash had given everyone a file with each others information. This girls name was Celeste Martin. She was a singer and a student studying at the Imperial Music Academy, specializing in ying the pipa. Are there cameras installed in the dormitory as well? Serena Buster asked this question. Three girls in total: Daisy Zane, Serena Buster, and Celeste Martin. Yes, the teacher said. Lights out at ten at night. At nine-thirty, the dormitory supervisor will turn off the cameras. Once off, no one can turn them back on except for the supervisors fingerprint. You can cover the camera if you feel unsafe. Are all the cameras fingerprint-activated now? Thats so advanced! asked a male student. Of course, the teacher smiled. Its Ryan Easton Groups intelligent technology. Its bound to be advanced. Gosh, Ryan Easton. The boys eyes seemed to light up. Daisy Zane nced at him and raised her eyebrows. He was the neen-year-old boy she and Kevin rk talked aboutst night. An Imperial Capital University top-candidate student who graduated at eighteen. His name is Turner Daniel. He studied software engineering in college. After graduation, he was rmended for postgraduate studies but turned down the offer, instead shooting movies for a year. Listed in the Imperial Capital University Top Talent Hall of Fame at the age of eighteen! His acting was quite good. Yesterday at dinner, Daisy Zane hadnt paid much attention, but now taking a closer look, the boy seemed decent-looking, with red lips and white teeth. We have lunch break at noon and half an hour for lunch, the teacher continued. You can rest in the dormitory from half-past twelve to two. Remember, you cannot bring lunch to the dormitory. Other snacks are also prohibited. After returning to the dormitory, we will inspect your suitcases. Daisy Zane: . We will send you the school rulester, which you need to memorize and strictly follow, the teacher said. We will check. When I went to school, I never thought that in my twenties, I would still have to memorize school rules, said one of the boys. When I went to school, I didnt even know our school had rules. George Dunnughed: Thats why theres payback when you try to game the system. Everyoneughed: Yes, if I had been more serious in my final year of high school, maybe my face would have been on Imperial Capital Universitys Hall of Fame by now. Turner is already there, Celeste Martin said. On the list at eighteen. Thank you, thank you, Turner Daniel said. It was just my brain developing too fast. It had nothing to do with me. If it had nothing to do with you, did your brain separate from your body? Its not that terrifying. Im not that brave, anyway. Everyoneughed again, and Daisy Zane raised her mouth slightly.. Chapter 261 - 250: Boyfriend Chapter 261: Chapter 250: Boyfriend Trantor: 549690339 After receiving their school uniforms, the boys and girls were led back to their dormitories by the dormitory supervisor. The girls dormitory was on the third floor, and only the floors above the third floor had an elevator. So they had to carry their suitcases upstairs. Daisy Zane and Celeste Martins suitcases were rtively light. However, Serena Busters extrarge suitcase was hard for her to lift with both hands. So Daisy offered her own suitcase to Serena and helped her carry it. Ill do it myself, Serena said, otherwise people will say were a couple again. If I dont help you, people will say weve broken up, Daisy said calmly. Oh, thats true. Serena saw that Daisy didnt mind and handed her the suitcase. Celeste also chimed in: Ill help you lift it too, it looks quite heavy. No need, Daisy said, and then lifted the suitcase with one hand. After feeling its weight, she nced at Serena: Did you bring your whole house with you? Serena nced at her, then nced at the dormitory supervisor, and didnt dare to speak. The first thing they did when they got to the dormitory was to check their suitcases. A few cosmetic items were removed from Celestes suitcase, and when Serenas extrarge suitcase was opened, four-fifths of it was filled with snacks. Daisy Zane: . Celeste: If we had known earlier, we could have had a feast downstairs. But the teachers eyes were clearly bright, and she neatly and proficiently unfolded a folding bag and began to pack the snacks, as if she had captured a criminal. Teacher, teacher. These are sugar, not snacks, please leave a bag for us, Serena said, as if her heart was bleeding, Leave five pieces, five pieces. Two pieces, two pieces are fine too. However, the teacher didnt leave a single piece for her. Teacher, thats for drinking, for drinking, Serena said, Leave one, leave one. As if she hadnt heard Serena, the teacher mercilessly put all of the items into the bag. Serena looked at the empty suitcase, and the light in her eyes instantly disappeared. She was in shock. As for Daisys suitcase, she had always thought that there was nothing inside. But when it was opened, one-quarter of it was filled with snacks, and the other quarter was filled with medicine she often took. There were even words written on the snacks. It was clearly Anisa Coopers handwriting. The teacher read it out loud: Daisy, dont eat too much in front of the camera. Prepared especially for you so you wont go hungry. Remember to hide them as soon as you open your suitcase. Dont hide them in the cab, hide them in the pillow, ording to my many years of experience, its the safest. Dash, your most intimate Naomi Nelson. Daisy: The teacher looked at Daisy and said, Very thoughtful. But hiding them in the pillow is outdated. The trend is hiding them in shoes. Hearing this, Serenas face turned green. Daisy looked at the snacks and didnt want to speak. The meals in our cafeteria are very good, and the prices are reasonable, the teacher said. There is plenty of time for meals, and its good for your health to eat well. Daisy: Now everyone knows she eats a lot. What are these? The teacher looked at the medicine again, and there was another note on it. But the handwriting had changed, and it was clearly a male students handwriting, and very beautiful. It was Harton rks handwriting. This handwriting is great. Celeste nced at the handwriting, then looked at Daisy. Meanwhile, Serena went behind the teacher and tried to steal snacks from the confiscated snack bag. Remember to drink one after a meal, Ill check when you get back, the teacher read it out loud. Daisy: It must be a boyfriend, with this tone, Celeste joked. Her seemingly casual question managed to stun the videography teacher, the director, and the dormitory supervisor. Although it wasnt live, there was still a camera. What should be said and shouldnt be said were all unwritten rules. Serena Buster stopped stealing snacks upon hearing this and quickly moved over to Daisy Zanes side. She nced at the note and asked, Is this from your boyfriend? My brother talks to me like this all the time. Ah, Im sorry. I thought only boyfriends talked like this, Celeste Martin responded apologetically. I dont know much about it. Daisy Zane looked at her and took the note from the teachers hand, saying calmly, It is my boyfriend. Celeste was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Daisy to admit this so openly. Serena Buster shot Daisy a quick nce, her eyes full of gossip ready to spill upon Daisy, but knowing the situation was not appropriate with cameras around, she hurriedly looked away. Daisy Zane did not continue the conversation and said to the dormitory supervisor, Those are medicines for conditioning my body. Oh, thats fine. The teacher, who looked to be over 50 years old, said with concern, You young people should take care of your health early, staying upte and eating less junk food. Money earned just ends up being spent on maintaining your health. The teacher continued to sort through things while talking, took away what needed to be removed, distributed everything that needed to be distributed, and told them to change into their school uniforms and head to the teaching building. The dormitory had six beds in onerge room, each with a bed above and a desk below. The three of them shared one side of the room, with a small staircase leading up to each bed. The other three students beds were opposite them. The grooming area and restrooms were shared by all. They took their school uniforms to the restroom to change in the partitioned stalls. Daisy Zane changed quickly, spoke to them briefly, and went back to the dormitory first. The school uniform was a simple blue and white one. Daisy Zane wore it neatly, zipping it up to her corbone and making sure the cory t on both sides. It could definitely be described as a decent way to wear the uniform. Although the uniform looked a bit loose at first, it fitted well on her tall and slender figure, giving the ordinary school uniform a fashionable look. Back in the dormitory, Daisy Zane sorted out her belongings. Their beds had their names on them. Daisy Zane put her things away and then looked at the information on the opposite students bed. She saw the name: Olivia Lane. And below it, the age and ss. Neen years old, Senior Three ss Sixteen. Daisy Zane: . She frowned slightly, wondering how she could be so unlucky. Before she could think too much about it though, Celeste Martin and Serena Buster returned. The two of them quickly sorted out their belongings, and the three of them headed to the teaching building together. The teaching building was right in front of the dormitory and quite close. It was likely meant to save time. When the three of them arrived, five guys and two teachers were already there. These people who were usually fashionable and yed various characters on the outside suddenly changed into school uniforms and put up a pure and innocent student act. It looked both hrious and a bit cringeworthy, no matter how one looked at it. So, after both groups of people exchanged nces and greeted each other, following the introduction of the homeroom teachers from Senior Three ss Fifteen and ss Sixteen, they allughed. Then, they proceeded to tease and joke with one another. Daisy Zane also smiled faintly and looked at George Dunn, saying, I didnt expect you to be quite young. George Dunn was taken aback andughed, Youre actuallyplimenting me. Are you sure youre not being sarcastic? Did you figure it out? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow and asked. George Dunn: I knew I shouldnt have had that illusion. Daisy Zaneughed again.. Chapter 262 - 251: A Bit Hot Chapter 262: Chapter 251: A Bit Hot Trantor: 549690339 Since Kevin rk found out that Daisy Zane was going to participate in this variety show, the first thing he did was to sponsor the program teams videography equipment. Although the show was not a live stream, Kevin rk could still see the synchronized high-definition shots. He could see almost every ce except for the girls dormitory. So, when Daisy Zane came out of the dormitory building in her school uniform for the first time, he saw it right away. In everyones eyes, Daisy Zanes image had always been indifferent, mature, and resourceful. But when she suddenly put on her school uniform, she not only exuded vitality but also revealed a bit of innocence. Although her face and cold image remained unchanged, there was a touch of childlike innocence about her. Michael Jackson was driving Arthur North Home and saw that Third Master had been staring at hisptop screen without moving. Usually, when Third Master opened hisptop in the car, he would be busily typing away. Today, he didnt even move. Michael Jackson was curious, so he couldnt help but take a few more nces at him. He didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, except for Third Master unbuttoning his shirt two buttons while still staring at the screen. Michael Jackson: They had all been following Kevin rk for a long time, but rarely could they figure out his thoughts. But judging from the action of unbuttoning his shirt, Third Master seemed to be feeling hot. So, Michael Jackson kindly lowered the cars temperature by two degrees. However What was he looking at that made him feel hot? Assistant Jackson couldnt figure it out. At the school, their group of eight was divided into two groups of four per ss, except for George Dunn George Dunn bribed the Director so that no matter which ss Daisy Zane was in, he would be assigned to that ss as well. Three of the boys, along with Serena Buster, ended up in Senior Three ss Fifteen. Daisy Zane, George Dunn, Celeste Martin, and Turner Daniel were in Senior Three ss Sixteen. Both homeroom teachers were women. ss 15s teacher was an English teacher, and ss 16s teacher was a math teacher. After receiving their students at the entrance of the teaching building, the teachers took them back to their offices since the morning self-study session was almost over. They handed out textbooks, school rules, ss rules, and exined some discipline policies in the office. They also introduced the students to other subject teachers The time after morning self-study was for breakfast. There was a rtively long break. So the teachers chatted with the students while eating their breakfast. The initial conversation was quite meaningful, but gradually, the topics turned to gossip. It continued until there were only 5 minutes left before ss, and then the teachers with sses to teach left. The homeroom teachers were also ready to take them to their ssrooms. The teacher of ss 16 was named Skyler Thomas. She wasnt very pretty, but she had an excellent temperament. Her bearing also carried a unique math-specific vibe. She walked and spoke quickly. However, her inner character seemed to be very honest, gentle, and soft. There are a total of 46 students in our ss, with 25 girls and 21 boys. The four of you make it an even 50, Skyler Thomas said, This ss is my ss. Teacher, will you ask questions? Celeste Martin suddenly asked. Yes, Skyler Thomas shook the name list in her hand. I call on half the ss to answer questions in each lesson. Celeste Martins mouth twitched: Teacher, Im bad at math. I only know addition and subtraction. Please dont ask me. Skyler Thomas smiled enigmatically but said nothing. Ask him. He knows everything. Hes a talented student, Celeste Martin pointed at Turner Daniel. Dont ask me and Daisy. We both dont know. For once, Daisy Zane wasnt putting her hands in her pockets, but instead, she kept them by her side. She usually didnt talk much, and they didnt know her very well, so if no one spoke to her, she rarely spoke. This time, hearing Celeste Martins words, she didnt reply or even look at her. She just quietly followed them to the ssroom. Dont worry, Ill treat everyone fairly. Skyler Thomas nced at Daisy Zane, and despite his quick speech, hisforting tone was clear, Everyone starts from not knowing to knowing. Youll learn eventually. Celeste Martin pouted, But its really hard to learn. I thought I had a good foundation before. However, once I got to high school, even my foundation didnt help. I truly cant understand. George Dunn, walking behind Daisy Zane, said, This just goes to show that it has nothing to do with having a foundation or not. Maybe those without a foundation might learn even faster. Celeste Martins eyshes fluttered, then sheughed, I think you have a point. As Skyler Thomas chatted with them, he led them towards the ssroom. As they passed by a ssroom entrance, a teacher suddenly emerged from inside. They almost collided with Skyler Thomas. Fortunately, Daisy Zane pulled Skyler Thomas to prevent the collision. Startled, Skyler Thomas steadied herself and looked at the person who hade out of the ssroom. The person standing in the ssroom was a woman in her forties, dressed in formal attire, with a mask on her face, concealing everything but her eyes. Her eyes, however, were sharp and cunning. She seemed very formidable. Skyler Thomas had intended to speak up, but upon seeing this woman, not only did she refrain from speaking, her smile also vanished from her face. Teacher Skyler, taking your students to the ssroom? The opening remark was sarcastic. Skyler Thomas nced at her and forced a smile, Yes. Then hurry, every second counts in Senior Three. The teacher spoke while her eyes swept over the four of them, Dont waste time. Everyone could tell that her reference to wasting time wasnt really about being here, but more pointing to something else. While speaking in front of them, she was probably referring to their show recording. Daisy Zane nced at the ss name on the door: Senior Three ss Eight. Perhaps out of concern for the camera, Skyler Thomas still smiled and said, Ms. Elizabeth, youre busy, well leave first. After speaking, she led them away. Ms. Elizabeth watched them leave from the doorway. Only after they were far away did she remove her mask and mutter, These ancestors were crappy to begin with, and now they have this pointless thing for two weeks. They really think theyre saviors. When they arrived at the ssroom, the cameraman didnt need to follow anymore. Standing at the entrance to capture their arrival, the camera guys quietly retreated to one side. As soon as Skyler Thomas led them in, the ss first erupted into apuse, some cheers, and some banging on desks. It looked very enthusiastic. After all, George Dunns influence was evident, with fans everywhere. Celeste Martin and Turner Daniel smiled as they waved slightly to greet everyone. George Dunn also had a smile on his face. But before heughed, he covered his mic, prompting Daisy Zane tough as well. But, inexplicably, there was nothing really funny. Daisy Zane could only manage to make herself look a little less indifferent. As the others interacted, she stood quietly to one side observing the people in the ss. Then, by the window, she saw Olivia Lane. Olivia Lane, dressed in a school uniform, leaned against the back of her chair, twirling a pen in her hand, and watched Daisy Zane. She had the air of a small-time gangster boss. But when Daisy Zane met her gaze, Olivia Lane immediately straightened her body, averted her eyes, and looked out the window. Her twisted head seemed to tell Daisy Zane, Dont tter yourself, Im not looking at you! Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane and gently raised the corner of her mouth.. Chapter 263 - 252: So Familiar Chapter 263: Chapter 252: So Familiar Trantor: 549690339 The cheers from the boys in the ss were already somewhat teasing, but when Daisy Zane suddenly smiled, everyone paused for a moment and looked at her. The apuse instantly became much more sincere. Hey? Oh my god, how beautiful is this star named Daisy Zane? a boy whispered. I knew she was beautiful, but shes even more beautiful in person than on screen. Shen, isnt she so beautiful? Even more beautiful than Amelie Quentin.. The one called Marsh Turner, with his hand resting on his cheek, was looking at Daisy Zane casually. After a moment, he smiled faintly. Didnt they say that Cold Green Vige is very poor? Yet how can people raised there be so beautiful and refreshing? a girl whispered to her deskmate, I always thought her beauty was just packaging, but now I dont think so. Her beauty is deep in her bones. Maybe the packaging starts from the bones too, the girl in front of Amelie Quentin suddenly whispered. The CCTV cameras installed in the ssroom had audio recording functions, but the audio was not turned up to the maximum, so very low noises could not be picked up, only normal speaking voices. Upon hearing this, Amelie Quentin stretched out her leg and gently kicked the other girls chair, whispering: If you cant talk properly, tear out your tongue. The girl in front suddenly turned around and looked at Amelie Quentin. But when she met Amelie Quentins cold eyes, she swallowed her words and just gave her a re before turning back around. It took Skyler Thomas almost two minutes to deliver some very official remarks, praising the school and then the individual sses. Then, he finally allowed the four neers to introduce themselves. George Dunn, the first one to introduce himself, did so in great detail. Name, gender, zodiac, height, weight, hobbies, marital status, star sign, lucky number, favorite color, favorite food, favorite sport, etc., etc. Except for age, it was almost like introducing himself for a blind date. Both Skyler Thomas and the students of the ss burst outughing. Next was Turner Daniel, whose introduction was rtively simple. He only mentioned his name and age, and then said a few polite words about looking forward to the future and asking everyone to take care of him. After Turner Daniel, it was Celeste Martins turn to introduce herself. Celeste Martins introduction was more formal. She talked about some awards she had won in high school, college entrance exam scores, and her college life, giving those preparing for the college entrance exam something to look forward to in college. Celeste Martin, in addition to being a singer, had an even more respectable identity. A student of the Court Music Academy. In the hearts of these students, the status of the Court Music Academy was extremely significant. They would hold Charles Flores, a member of the rk and Lane families, in great awe, to say nothing of their own reaction. So, Celeste Martin was very popr and even respected. After she finished her introduction, it was Daisy Zanes turn. Daisy Zanes gaze shifted from Amelie Quentin and picked up a piece of chalk, writing her name Daisy Zane on the ckboard. Three elegant and powerful characters, matching her aura, strong, and impossible to ignore. Daisy Zane, 26 years old. Daisy Zanes voice was somewhat cold and sounded like falling snow, icy and very pleasant to the ears, Please take care of me in the uing two weeks. Even if others had spoken more words or introduced themselves as outstanding, as long as she stood there, everything around her would lose its color. All eyes were on her. Its as if her excellence was engraved in her bones, shining without mention. Everyone in the ss, including Skyler Thomas, paused for a moment, and after two seconds, Skyler Thomas whispered, Is that all? Daisy Zane looked at him and said, Mmm. Skyler Thomas opened his mouth, nodded again, and said to the others, Well lets assign the seats. The four of them nodded. Skyler Thomas looked around the ss and said, Marsh Turner, raise your hand. George Dunn, you sit next to him. George Dunn nced at Marsh Turner: Marsh Turner smiled at George Dunn. Olivia Lane, raise your hand. Daisy Zane, you sit there. Daisy Zane watched Olivia Lane raise her hand without even lifting her head, and as she walked towards her, she thought that if this was a coincidence, they must really be fated. As she approached her, Daisy Zane greeted the two ssmates behind her with her eyes and then looked at Olivia, saying, Hey, my seatmate. Just a seatmate, youre the young one, Olivia Lane nced at her and said, You sit on the inside. Daisy Zane smirked: Okay, get up, let me in. Olivia stood up and let her in. As Daisy Zane sat down, she put the books she was carrying on the table and said, Would you say we are destined to be together? The cool voice fell into Olivias ears. Her long eyshes trembled slightly, but she didnt say anything. Daisy raised an eyebrow and then casually flipped through her new books. Skyler Thomas was arranging seats for the other two students. She looked around the ssroom and said to Olivia, Jessica Maxwell, why are you sitting over there? Their four seats were reserved in advance, There was an empty space in front of Olivia, which originally had a boy sitting in front of Daisy Zanes seat. But Jessica Maxwell, who switched seats with the boy, sat in front of Olivia. Teacher, my seatmate will be a new student too, so it doesnt matter where I sit, right? Jessica Maxwell said. No, switch back, Skyler Thomas ordered, Hurry up. William Butch, pack your things too. William Butch was the boy who was supposed to sit in front of Daisy Zane. Jessica Maxwell pouted, quickly gathered her things, and changed back with William Butch. Skyler Thomas let Turner Daniel sit down and assigned Celeste Martin to sit next to Jessica Maxwells original seat. When William Butch walked to his seat, Daisy Zane looked up at him. The boy was rtively thin, with very pale, almost sickly white skin. He also had long hair that covered his eyes. The zipper on his school uniform was also pulled all the way up, almost covering his mouth. Moreover, he kept his head down without looking anywhere. Daisy Zane only looked at him for a moment, her gaze not lingering on him for too long before lowering her head again. After a while, she looked at Olivia and said, Lend me a pen. Do you not even bring a pen to school? Olivia asked while searching for an extra pen. I have you as my seatmate, Daisy Zane said calmly. Olivia nced at her and continued to search for a while before realizing that besides the pen in her hand, there were no others, You sure know how to count. Thank you for thepliment. Olivia side-eyed her, then threw the pen in her hand to her and turned to the boy behind her, Give me a pen. The boy immediately handed her his pen. Daisy Zane looked at the pen in her hand, then twirled it and started writing her name in the new textbooks. As she wrote her name, she thought to herself: Coming to school with your name must have been our way of attending school together. Olivia saw that she was quietly writing her name in each book and nced over. Since Daisy used to sign Flynn Ninevara with her own handwriting, she started using her own handwriting in public now. The handwriting in the books was the same as the one on the ckboard. However, the Everleigh on the ckboard had a clear pause at the end of thatst stroke because there were impurities inside the chalk and it got stuck for a moment. Thats why herst stroke didnt hook upward. But in the names written in the books, the final stroke in Everleigh hooked up. Olivia frowned at the sight of the character, then suddenly realized that the handwriting was so familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.. Chapter 264 - 253: Third Master’s Crisis Chapter 264: Chapter 253: Third Masters Crisis Trantor: 549690339 After Kevin rk returned to rk Manor, he greeted his parents and took the smart little sedan chair driven by Edo rk back to his courtyard. As he sat in the sedan chair, Kevins gaze never left the notebook in his hand. He was always looking at Daisy Zane. His mood had been quite good, but seeing Daisy and Olivia Lane sitting together and exchanging pleasantries, he gradually furrowed his brows. The cameras audio capture was limited, but the conversation between the two was transmitted to Kevins ears through the microphone on Daisys clothes. Kevin clearly felt that the little girl really liked Olivia Lane. Instantly, the rm bells in his heart rang again. The Lane Family, the only one that could rival the rk Family. William Lane was just one year older than him, excellent, rich, powerful, and good-looking. Originally, having a domineering sister-inw could have been a trouble to dissuade the little girl. But why does this little girl still like Olivia Lane so much? Kevin was a bit unhappy, half lowering his eyes to look at the screen of the little girl and said after a while: Edo. Third Master, what do you say? Edo replied with a mechanical voice. Go back the same way. Okay, Third Master. On the way back, Kevin called William Lane. It took more than ten seconds for the other party to answer. Without any pleasantries, Kevin went straight to the point: Roy, my mom has been a bit idletely and wants to find you a girlfriend. Tomorrow shell probably send you some material photos. Take a look and see if theres anyone youre satisfied with? What?!?! William Lanes voice in the cell phone seemed to be splitting apart. Kevins fingertips tapped lightly on theputer, his eyes murky and obscure, like clouds that wont disperse: To pick a partner for blind dates. William Lane quieted down for a moment before saying, Isnt it, why do you want to find one for me? Doesnt Enamel Cannon not have any results yet? Kevin nced at Olivia Lane on theputer screen andughed: Enamel Cannon has a target now and is pursuing. Hey. The iron tree is blooming? William Laneughed too, Which poor girl has caught his eye. Kevin didnt answer him, just said: Remember to give a big red envelope at that time. You dont have to say that, Ill give a big red envelope to any of you who get married. Kevin raised his eyebrows, thinking that if that day really came, William Lane would definitely put an ax with an open de inside the red envelope. Since Enamel Cannon is blooming, you should also bloom. Kevin said slowly, Take it seriously since it is the elders intention. Dont waste it. Im still in F Continent, I dont have time to go back. If you like someone, Ill have them sent over on a private jet to have a blind date with you. Kevin said. William Lane: Are you sick? For your happiness. You can have this happiness, I dont want it. Sorry, I already have it. Kevin said. Showing off. William Lane paused, Give it to Xavier Dominic, let him have the dates. Xavier Dominic doesnt need it. Kevin said, With his temperament, its possible that hell get a license tomorrow. Thats true. So its just you now. Kevin said, If I were you, Id feel guilty for having friends and elders worrying about me, and I wouldnt be able to sleep at night. William Lane: Dont waste the elders intentions. Kevin said softly, I mean, only a sessful blind date would not be a waste. William Lane was silent for a moment, then said: I really wont be able to sleep after taking your call Before thest word was spoken, Kevin hung up the phone. When William Lane called back after that, he directly rejected it. Then, in a good mood, he asked his mother to arrange a blind date for Roy Madison. He must see that Roy Madison settles down so that he can be at ease. At school, after the seating arrangements were made, ss began. At this point in Senior Three, all the textbooks have already been covered. So the content the teacher discussed haspletely gone beyond the textbook, focusing more on some typical question types. Daisy Zane could understand what was written on the ckboard, but her problem-solving process was different from what the teacher exined. Hers was more straightforward, but the forms she used seemed to be moreplicated than those used by Skyler Thomas. So she flipped through the textbook. While she was flipping through the textbook and listening to the teacher, Olivia Lane took out her cell phone and started ying a game. Daisy Zane: . She also noticed that very few people in the ss were actually paying attention. Some were genuinely listening, some were pretending, and some didnt even bother to pretend. Even with cameras around, and knowing it would be broadcastedter. Everyone was fearless. If she didnt know that Director Nash hadnt given a script to this group of students, she would have thought they were acting. Skyler Thomas reaction, on the other hand, seemed like he was already used to it. The teacher spoke very fast but taught at a slightly slower pace. She seemed impatient but very patient at the same time. She was the type of person who, despite being obviously flustered herself, would stillfort others by saying, Dont worry, take your time. Facing such a group of students, she never gave up, constantly calling on people to answer questions, guiding them to learn, trying to bring the prodigal sons back. Daisy Zane felt tired on her behalf. As another question came up, Daisy Zane noticed Skyler Thomas gaze sweeping across the ss. Then her eyes narrowed, she feigned a shot, looked at Daisy Zane, and called on Celeste Martin. After calling on her, Skyler Thomas looked like she found it amusing and smiled proudly at Daisy Zane. As if to say: You got scared, didnt you. Daisy Zane: . Celeste Martins foundation was indeed good. She had graduated from high school for so long and could still remember some knowledge points and managed to answer half of the question correctly. Thetter half was supplemented by Skyler Thomas guidance. Then Skyler Thomas praised her a few times, and the ss apuded. Formalism. Olivia Lane muttered while ying her game. Daisy Zane heard it, turned her head to look at her, and then looked at the game on her phone. It was one of the most popr shootingpetition games at the moment. If youre bored, you can y on your phone. Olivia Lane whispered. I think its quite interesting. Daisy Zane said. Olivia Lane looked at her, didnt say anything, and lowered her head again. Daisy Zane watched her game. When Olivia Lane was in a critical situation, aiming at someone, Daisy Zane suddenly reached out and pulled her clothes. Olivia Lanes hand slipped, and that shot almost ended up at grandmas house. She was instantly knocked down by the opponent. She stared at the character on her phone, crawling on the ground, blood level dropping bit by bit, froze for two seconds, and then suddenly looked at Daisy Zane. She stared at her with a blend of surprise and anger. It took her a long time to grind her teeth and say, What are you doing? Daisy Zane looked at her calmly, her eyes exuding a bit of coldness, her voice carrying azy, teasing tone: Keep ying games during ss, and Ill make you go from War God to Bronze. What do you want to do! Olivia Lane was so shocked that she asked again. Daisy Zane raised her brows and replied casually, Meddling in others business.. Chapter 265 - 254: Problem Solving Chapter 265: Chapter 254: Problem Solving Trantor: 549690339 Olivia Lane had been used to her bluster for a long time, apart from her parents berating her asionally for not behaving properly in recent years, she had never felt this kind of humiliation. Looking at Daisy Zane, she clenched her lips, wishing she could bite her. But Daisy Zane was fearless, even pulling away the cell phone in her hand when she was ring at her heatedly. Olivia Lane: Daisy Zane gently shook the cell phone, put it in her pocket, and said, Ill give it back to you at noon when schools out. You! Daisy Zane, can you write down the answer for this problem? Skyler Thomas suddenly called her name. Daisy Zane: . Olivia Lane looked at her for another two seconds, then turned her head away, without moving. Daisy Zane stood up, patting her on the top of the head, and said, Stand up, Im leaving. Olivia Lane hummed lightly, turned her head to one side, ignored her, and didnt move. So angry? Daisy Zane softly hooked the corner of her lips, bent down and lifted the chair with one hand, dragging the chair and the person on it a bit forward. The boy behind Olivia Lane who was about to pull his desk backwards stopped his movement, raising his eyes to look at Daisy Zane. The whole ss, whoever was looking at her, their eyes widened a bit. George Dunn, leaning on the chair, was initially worried when the teacher called her name, but seeing her movement, he suddenly chuckled. Marsh Turner, sitting beside him, alsoughed. And Olivia Lanes beautiful eyes were filled with shock. This this strength Daisy Zane patted her head again before she walked ahead. She put her hand in her pocket as she walked, but halfway through the movement, she put her hand back down. When she reached the podium, she picked up a piece of chalk and nced at the problem on the ckboard. It was a function problem. Skyler Thomas also knew about her situation, and said on the side, Just answer the first question, this questions first part is basic, its a basic elementary function. Hmm. Daisy Zane responded, and first wrote the word solution on the ckboard. Charles Amos would always write the word solution under the problem every time he couldnt solve it, saying he could earn two points. So she also wrote it first. Skyler Thomas continued, To find the solution set, you need to consider several situations for x, such as x <-1, -1SxS3, and x>3. As Skyler Thomas was speaking, Jessica Maxwell muttered very quietly, Just tell her the answer. Even if you tell her, can she write it? She hasnt evenpleted elementary school, why is she here recording a variety show? Doesnt she know its embarrassing? Hearing her words, Celeste Martin gently lifted the corner of her mouth, a sh of mockery in her eyes. Meanwhile, George Dunn was calmly sitting down, his finger constantly rubbing under the table. Marsh Turner said, Brother Michael, the only way to save her now is, when its your turnter, you also dont know anything. To make her look better. George Dunn nced at him, there was not even a book on the table, it was cleaner than his face: As if you know. Or let them edit it out in post-production, but its hard to keep so many people in the ss quiet. Marsh Turner continued, Its better for you to make her look better. Of course, our conversation can be edited out in post. George Dunn nced at him again: Shut up. Marsh Turner didnt say anything else. Meanwhile, Olivia Lane, with her cheeks propped up, was watching Daisy Zane. While appearing calm and collected on the outside, her index finger was nervously scratching her pants. She wouldnt even let her out, she had to show off her strength by lifting herself up in the chair. Everyone was watching Daisy Zane. Some were worried, some were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and others were simply looking at her as a person. After all, even her back view was like perfect art, its definitely worth admiring. After Skyler Thomas finished speaking, he unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of water, while casually checking what everyone else in the ss was doing. ncing around, almost towards the end, Skyler Thomas said: f(x) But turning his head, Daisy Zane had already written two lines. The first question was simple, it was just finding a solution set. Daisy Zane quickly worked out the three situations. The second question asked for a range of values. Daisy Zane nced at it and immediately wrote the answer on the ckboard. Skyler Thomas watched her, blinked a few times. She was confident she hadnt given her the solution before, and even the question was picked by herself. She deliberately chose a very difficult one for the third question, something slightly beyond high school knowledge. The aim was to stimte these students at the very start of Senior Three. All of this could not have been known by the program team. However, as she looked at the neat and grand writing on the ckboard, Daisy Zane also wrote the answer to the third question. She stood straight, her legs together. One hand hung at her side, revealing only cold, pale fingertips due to the long sleeves of her school uniform. In her right hand, she held the chalk, appearing casual, but the writing revealed great force. Jessica Maxwell watched her write the first two questions, and she was still writing the third one. Jessica, who was among the top fifty in her grade, couldnt even write the third one. Does she have the script, or did the teacher give her the answers? Jessica Maxwell questioned. Celeste Martin sucked in a breath and whispered, I dont know, nobody gave me a script or answers. Her ambiguous response cleared herself. Jessica Maxwell snorted softly, murmuring, That must be the reason. George Dunn is also a student at Imperial Capital University. Although high school was more than ten years ago for him, seeing these things reminded him of the past. However what she wrote for thest question he felt like he was reading an aliennguage. It seems you dont have to worry now. Marsh Turner said. You talk too much, just like your cousin. George Dunn responded. Olivia Lane looked at her, seemed to smile for a moment, then suppressed it, sneering. Turner Daniel looked at the steps she used to solve the problem, narrowed his eyes slightly, as he didnt think of that method. The more Skyler Thomas watched, the more surprised and dazed he became. If he was not wrong, those things Daisy Zane wrote were things he only saw in university. Daisy Zane wrote very fast, only in six lines, using a form that no one had ever seen before, she calcted the answer. Skyler looked at the answer, then at his answer written on a dense B5 sheet of paper: The results were the same, but hers was so much simpler. Daisy Zane put the chalk back after finishing writing and rubbed the chalk dust on her fingertips saying, I didnt go to school, I learned things myself, so theyre not very structured. I can only calcte the result, the process is probably not standard. Skylers eyes followed her all the time, and when he heard her speak, he came back to his senses. Then he opened his mouth, his lips trembling slightly, You learned, you learned by yourself? Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly, and the voice of Edward Kirsten suddenly sounded in her ears. How did she learn on her own? Someone from the audience unexpectedly questioned. Daisy Zane looked in that direction, her expression did not change at all, but it still produced a sense of pressure, My grandmother is a mixed-race woman. Before she came to Cold Green Vige, she received a good education. So thats how it is. Skylermented, Her Grandma must have been a talented student, these sophisticated solving methods are probably only taught in university. Daisy Zane did not speak. Skyler showed everyone his answers and process, You see, my process. Then look at whats on the ckboard. Wow The students suddenly eximed, Teacher, dont talk anymore, I feel like vomiting. The words make me dizzy. Im getting dizzy from studying. Im getting dizzy from the ssroom, I want to go home. Or lets just discuss Sister Lucias solution, its too concise. Man, you sure know how to go with the flow, you even call her Sister Lucia now. Yeah, Sister Lucia, any objections? None. Just withdraw it and let me call her first. Meanwhile, Harton rk watched what she was writing, narrowing his eyes slightly. Victoria Zane taught tang Zhi xis method. How about this little girl? Harton rk thought for a while, felt a sharp pain in his heart. Im afraid the only one would be Edward Kirsten. Chapter 266 - 255 Megan Cruz Chapter 266: Chapter 255 Megan Cruz Trantor: 549690339 Skyler Thomas looked at the group in his ss who despised their daily studies, massaged his temples and said, Shut up, all of you. Alright, Daisy Zane, you can go. Daisy Zane nodded and began to walk away. As she took her first step, George Dunn suddenly started pping. If others had it, then Flynn Ninevara, the Brook God, should not be left out. His handp was so loud that it startled Marsh Turner next to him. But after Marsh Turner nced at him, he too began to p. Marsh Turner was the big boss in the ss, good looking anding from a good family, many in the ss followed his lead. So when he started pping, everyone else immediately joined in. Even Skyler Thomas, who caught on,ughed and joined in the apuse. Daisy Zane: . Daisy Zane took her ce amid the apuse. Jessica Maxwell pped while saying, Whats the smug look? Cant even afford school. Celeste Martin pursed her lips; smiles on her face were subtly stiff. Director Nash and she once worked together, and she also had the identity of Catherine, probably gave her topics secretly to get her to shine. When Daisy Zane returned to her seat and the apuse subsided, Skyler Thomas said, So it seems, educational qualifications and knowledge are two different things. Everyone nodded in agreement. Then a boy said, Teacher, I agree with what you say, so I dont understand why my dad insists on sending me here. Skyler Thomas red at him and said, Why? Because the little knowledge I have cant be crammed into your head. How can you expect to learn on your own? The boy was speechless. Some people, even without ess to education, understand its importance. But you guys never mind, its futile to tell you. Lets just continue with the ss. Daisy Zane took her seat, nced at Olivia Lane before noticing that the desks front William Butch had quickly peeked at her. He just nced at her and quickly withdrew his gaze, bowing his head to sit properly. Seeing his tense and careful movements, Daisy Zane pretended not to notice. The morning sses passed quickly. Because two teachers had to go to the Education Bureau for a meeting, there were two Math sses and two Chinese sses in the morning. The Math ss was alright, as students were constantly asked questions, so everyone stayed rtively alert. However, more than half of the ss fell asleep during the subsequent Chinese sses. On one hand, students had nothing to fear, on the other, they believed in the school and the potential of post-production editing. In their current state, there certainly wasnt anything suitable for broadcast. The Chinese teacher also made their best efforts to keep the students awake. However, the effect wasnt significant. Amelie Quentin didnt fall asleep, but she didnt pay attention in ss either. With no cell phone, she was lost in her own thoughts. She must have gone mad when she heard they wereing to film. She requested a dorm change and even bribed a teacher to let Daisy Zane sit next to her. She must have been possessed at that time. Why else would she insist on sitting next to her? And how dare she is to steal her phone. Even if she had the support of Harton rk, his interference, due to her grandfather, parents, and brother, had its limits. Whats up with her? So annoying. Amelie Quentin was so bored that she wanted to skip ss again. Daisy Zane was always watching her from the corner of her eye. The young girl has a rebellious exterior, but deposited within her are gentleness and kindness. After thest ss of the morning, day students had to go home, while boarders went to the cafeteria for lunch. The bell had rung, and the teacher had already left. Daisy Zane was slowly packing up her books when Turner Daniel turned over and said, Lets go eat together. Daisy Zane nodded, nced at William Butch, who was still sitting in front, head down motionless, unwilling tomunicate with anyone, and even wanted to bury himself. Where are you going for lunch? Daisy Zane handed the phone back to Amelie Quentin. Amelie Quentin grabbed it and first checked for any messages on the phone, and then said, Sent from home. Fine, I just wanted to dine using your meal card. Why are you like this? Amelie Quentin looked at her. Daisy Zane stared back at her with an expression that read, I am what I am. Amelie Quentin sighed lightly, then started looking for her meal card, Doesnt anyone care for you? In my house, Im in charge. Amelie Quentin: Kevin rk is really a henpecked husband. Amelie Quentin rummaged through her bag but did not find her meal card. Then she recalled and eximed, I dont have my meal card! Such a young age, but already so forgetful. Daisy Zaneughed. None of your business, you made me so annoyed. Amelie Quentin replied. Just then, the cell phone on the table rang. The contact was listed as Aunt Cruz. Cruz is quite a rare surname. Looking at the four characters on the screen, Daisy Zane suddenly felt a headache. Her eyshes trembled slightly and she discreetly pressed her temples. Amelie Quentin nced at her phone, pressed the answer button while saying, I have to go. Then she answered the call and left. As she left, George Dunn and Marsh Turner came over. As soon as Marsh Turner came over, a bunch of boys also surrounded them. Lets go, Brook God, lets go for lunch. George Dunn said. Daisy Zane nced at him, then at the boys around him. Boys of this age are already quite tall, almost as tall as George Dunn. They were quite handsome, and had a shallow dimple on the left when they smiled, appearing somewhat rogue-ish. Noticing her gaze, Marsh Turner introduced himself, Daisy, Marsh Turner. The Turner from Prime Minister. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt a sense of familiarity in his facial expression, and greeted, Hello. Hello, Daisy. Marsh Turners dimple deepened with his smile. Wow, there are so many people. Celeste Martin intervened, Are we all going to eat together? But we dont have meal cards. Its okay. George Dunn nced at Marsh Turner, He will pay. Yes, Ill pay. Marsh Turner agreed, Lets go, Daisy. Daisy Zane gave both of them a look, and figured both of them should know each other. But she didnt probe further and simply got up to join the others, Thank you. Youre wee, Daisy. Before she left the ssroom, Daisy Zane took onest look at William Butch, who was still sitting there with his head bowed. However, by the perusal of his rxed shoulders, it seemed he had be less tense. Kevin rk watched as they all left to have lunch. Watching Daisy Zane surrounded by a bunch of teenage boys, he almost lost his appetite. Trust his instinct as a man, this Marsh Turner didnt seem to hold a pure gaze towards the young girl. But he didnt need to worry, Marsh Turner and Allonzo Hobson were cut from the same mold, and the girl certainly wouldnt like them. Nevertheless, concern or not, a necessary warning was still required. So he reached for his phone, about to make a call. But before he could make the call, a message popped up on the bottom right corner of hisputer. He nced at it subconsciously and saw the three characters Allonzo Hobson in the title. Halting his attempt to make the call, he clicked open the message first. Theplete title was: [Allonzo Hobson photographed checking into a hotel with an unknown woman.] Straightforward. Hitting right on the matter. Kevin rk checked further and found several photos attached. Two of rest of them were pictures of Allonzo Hobson supporting a woman along the hotel corridor. Two others were of Allonzo Hobson assisting the woman to open a hotel room door. The photo that captured the act of opening the room captured Allonzo Hobsons profile, but the womans face was never caught. However, one look at the figure, and anyone familiar would know that it was Robinson Scott. Considering Allonzo Hobsons attire, the photos seemed to have been taken after a banquet, following thepletion of filming in the desert. That evening, Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott ended up sharing a bed, leading to a huge misunderstanding.. Chapter 267 - 256: Third Master Who Loves Watching Excitement Chapter 267: Chapter 256: Third Master Who Loves Watching Excitement Trantor: 549690339 The senior three in Gathering Joy Private School had a separate cafeteria, which was quite spacious and offered a wide variety of dishes. Daisy Zane and her entourage, along with the videographers, were quite eye-catching. George Dunn and Marsh Turner stayed close to Daisy Zane, like two guardians on either side of her. A group of students followed behind them, chatting andughing all the way. Daisy Zane listened quietly, asionally chiming in when she was cued. There were also a bunch of students around Celeste Martin. Jessica Maxwell was holding her arm and they were chatting excitedly and harmoniously. Entering the cafeteria, Marsh Turner said, Daisy, what do you want to eat? Let me give you some rmendations. Upon hearing this, Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell both looked at Marsh Turner. Do you even know? Go ahead, give your rmendations. George Dunn said. Marsh Turner didnt stay on campus; he only had a meal card, so he usually didnt eat in the cafeteria. Dont I know how to read? Marsh Turner countered, Cant I see the big signs? So you mean Brook God cant read? Cant see the big signs? George Dunn retorted. Brother Michael, why are you trying to sow discord? Marsh Turner chided, Im over a decade younger than you; cant you give me a break? Sorry, I just cant control myself when I see you. Daisy Zane listened and faintly smiled, Ill go see for myself. Sure, Marsh Turner replied, Lets go. Well get in line for whatever you want. Wherever Daisy Zane went, she was the center of attention. Even if everyone was wearing the same school uniform, even if only her back was visible, everyones eyes would be drawn to her. So everyones eyes followed her as she walked to three different windows and got a serving of rice and a bowl of noodles. Marsh Turner helped her carry the noodles, thinking that she just wanted to taste them and wouldnt eat everything. But as he sat down diagonally across from her and watched her eat the rice, vegetables, and noodles at a leisurely pace, she slowly finished all of the food. She even drank a bowl of soup. Marsh Turner: Serena Buster ran into them while waiting in line for her meal and decided to sit next to Daisy Zane to eat. Seeing her eat so much, Serena whispered, You really eat that much? Yeah. But youre a female celebrity, there are so many cameras. Dont female celebrities eat? Daisy Zane replied calmly. But you eat too much; the boys who are eighteen or neen dont eat as much as you. Is that not allowed? Daisy Zane looked at her and asked. It is. Its okay, Daisy, its a blessing, Marsh Turner said, being able to metabolize this much food is not a problem. Serena Buster looked at her own belly that seemed to gain weight with every bite and didnt want to talk anymore. Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell sat at the table behind Daisy Zane, and they could easily hear their conversation. In a low voice, Jessica Maxwell muttered, She ate so much. Is she a starving ghost reborn? What a country bumpkin with no experience. I dont know why she didnt burst from overeating. Celeste Martin nced at George Dunn and Marsh Turner, pursed her lips, and remained silent. After lunch, Daisy Zane and Serena Buster originally nned to return to their dormitory. However, the other girls who were with them were going back to the ssroom to study, so Daisy Zane decided to join them. Since she wanted to go back to the ssroom, the three boys, George Dunn, also decided not to go to the dormitory. Only Serena Buster went back to sleep. Once they returned to the ssroom, Daisy Zane discovered that Amelie Quentin was also there. Moreover, she was engrossed in a game while wearing headphones. Daisy Zane slowly walked over, and as soon as she stood next to Amelie, Amelie nced at her. She casually scanned Daisy Zane, but after realizing it was her, Amelie instinctively hid her phone on herp and red at her. Daisy Zane chuckled, saying, Quite a reaction. I was just startled by you. Daisy Zane went in behind her and sat in her position. She looked at Amelie Quentin and said, Go ahead and y since theres no ss, and I wont bother you. Amelie Quentin nced at her, then opened her cell phone and continued ying the game: You know youre bothering me. Im saving a lost girl. Amelie Quentin looked at her again and saw that she really didnt want to pry any further, so she focused on ying the game. Daisy Zane asked, Why are you not in the dormitory? Its none of your business, Amelie Quentin replied, then added, I must take a nap if I go back, but I cant sleep. So thats why. Daisy Zane watched her game while looking at her. After a quiet moment, Amelie Quentin asked, Have you seen the scandal about Xavier Dominic? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, No, what happened? He was photographed taking a strange woman to a hotel, and its causing a big stir, Amelie Quentin exined, Do you know whats going on? Why are you so nosy? Amelie Quentin said, Im so young, isnt it normal to be curious? Daisy Zane: . Do you know whats going on? Amelie Quentin asked impatiently. Let me check. Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and looked at the hot search on Facebook. It was the top trending topic. Daisy Zane clicked and looked at it, scrolling down a bit. When she saw the photo, her eyes narrowed. She scrolled down again and checked the time. It had been almost an hour. And no one had handled it. Seeing Daisy Zane silent, Amelie Quentin asked, Whats wrong? Nothing. Daisy Zane blinked and stood up. The news is fake, she said before leaving the room with her cell phone. Amelie Quentin watched her go, paused for a moment, and then continued ying her game. Daisy Zane went to the restroom and called Harton rk first. The call was connected after two rings, and he answered with a smile, his gentle and pleasant voice flowing into Daisy Zanes ears through the phone, Whats up? Missing me? Daisy Zane: Whats the deal with Robinson Scott and Xavier Dominic? Harton rk: What? Its not a big deal. The Third Master, who hadnt been greeted, spoke softly, The photo was taken by the man who almost took Robinson Scott away at the banquet after the desert shoot. Recently, Xavier Dominic took two of the guys projects. The exposure is purely revenge, venting personal anger. Why hasnt it been handled? Daisy Zane was in the bathroom stall, wearing earphones, staring at a side-profile photo of Harton rk on the call screen. One afternoon, Daisy Zane had asked Charles Amos to secretly take some pictures. That day, the sunset was beautiful. Harton rk stood beside her, seemingly blending with the red sky, forming an exquisite and colorful painting. So she sent a message to Charles Amos, asking him to secretly take a few pictures. Xavier Dominic is taking people directly to his house to confront him, making the person rify and delete it. Harton rk said, We dont need to bother. But the photo is right there, and no one will believe the rification. So Xavier Dominic is venting his anger by attacking. Harton rk asked, Wheres Robinson Scott? I dont know. Harton rk: Third Master, a reminder. If you dont delete it as soon as possible, and if Robinson Scotts two fathers find out, you should know how troublesome things will get. Harton rk chuckled mysteriously, Then lets watch the show. Daisy Zane: . Chapter 268 - 257 Chapter 268: Chapter 257 Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane often forgot how cunning Arthur North could be whenever he was gentle with her. What kind of fun is she looking for? Looking forward to Robinson Scotts two dadsing to Imperial Capital to meddle in affairs and muddy the waters? Daisy Zane always felt that he seemed to be plotting something. Alright, lets hang up. Daisy Zane said. Little Girl. Arthur North was afraid she would suddenly hang up the phone, so he called out in a somewhat urgent tone. Hearing his shout, Daisy Zane moved her finger away from the hang-up button: Yes? Its not easy to make a phone call, wont you ask about me? Arthur North said. I remember we just met this morning. Arthur North: Besides cant you see me? Arthur North: When she found out that the surveince equipment was provided by the Easton Group, Daisy Zane knew what Arthur North had in mind. I know youre watching, so behave yourself and dont flirt with other girls. Do you have any objections? Daisy Zane heard someoneing into the restroom, washing their hands. Can I have an objection? Up to you. Daisy Zane said indifferently. And then I have my objections, and youll still do what you want. Mm. Arthur Northughed helplessly: Alright, Ill take it as your loving care for your niece. Daisy Zane: . After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane checked her cell phone again in the restroom, replied to a few people, and then sent the hot search news to Robinson Scott before leaving the restroom. It was only when she reached the washbasin outside that she realized that the person who hade in was Olivia Lane. She was washing her hands. Daisy Zane looked at her andughed: Youve been washing your hands for quite a while. None of your business. Daisy Zane also washed her hands and said, Shall we go back together? Olivia Lane didnt say a word and walked straight out. Daisy Zaneughed and followed her out as well. The two walked side by side, their heights simr and their steps in sync, giving the impression of being twins from behind. Only Daisy Zanes aura was cold and strong. Both were silent on their way back to the ssroom from the restroom. Upon returning to the ssroom, some people were already sleeping with their heads on the table. Both of them lightened their footsteps and returned to their seats. Olivia Lane continued ying games, while Daisy Zane flipped through a book she had left on the table. In the afternoon ss, the teachers did not ask any further questions, and even in two consecutive chemistry sses, studentspleted two sets of test papers. This urately reflected the dull learning life of Senior Three. Chemistry could be considered Daisy Zanes strong suit. She held the test paper with one hand and a pen with the other, writing answers on the paper. For her, these things were too simple, and she didnt even need to calcte, she could write the answers just by looking at them once. She wrote quickly, and so did Olivia Lane. As Daisy Zane wrote, she nced at Olivia Lanes test paper. And then she didnt see a single correct answer. What kind of luck would make someone get every multiple-choice question wrong? And as for the essay questionster on, she probably just nced at each question and then left the rest nk. Since her cell phone was taken away by Daisy Zane again, Olivia Lane could only stare nkly at the desktop. Daisy Zane: . After the afternoon sses were over, dinner followed, then evening self-study, whichsted until 9 0clock. Evening self-study consisted of writing papers and solving problems. Teachers would sit at the front. Students could ask them about anything they didnt understand. The main goal of the variety show was to depict the most authentic high school life. Therefore, it was decided during the discussion with various teachers at the time that the few participants did not receive much attention during the show. The program was never intended to be humorous or funny from the beginning. Instead, it focused on youth, striving, and hard work. In the midst of boring study and hard work, a group of young people at the peak of their adolescence wereying the groundwork for their future. Among the participants, other than Daisy Zane and Turner Daniel, the remaining six were copsing from exhaustion. Not only was it because they had experienced high school before, but also because they had forgotten many things they learned under the same circumstances. It was like going to take an exam and forgetting everything you studied diligently. After the evening self-study finally ended, George Dunn was so exhausted that he didnt even want to move in his seat. But, determined not to be mocked for looking old, he forced himself up and apanied a few boys to walk Daisy Zane back to her dormitory with the other girls. Two of Daisys roommates were her fans, apart from Olivia Lane. To avoid any awkwardness for the other two, they asked all three of them for autographs after they returned to the dorm. Celeste Martin said, I originally brought gifts for you, but the dormitory supervisor confiscated them. Exactly, my whole box of snacks got confiscated, Serena Buster added. Suddenly, she took out a few boxes of potato chips from the cab and distributed them among everyone, Thankfully, I was smart enough to hide a few in my clothes bag. Come on, lets eat them quickly before they get discovered. One of the girls, holding a bag of potato chips, asked, Can the teacher see us through this camera? Everyone suddenly looked at the camera. They stared at it, and then Daisy Zane said, If they could see, they would have seen us already. The only thing we can do now is eat these chips before the teacheres. And then deny it till we die? asked Serena Buster. Daisy Zane looked at her and slowly uttered four words, Enjoy while we can. Olivia Lane chuckled softly, but when Daisy Zane looked over, she immediately stoppedughing and even red at her. Daisy Zane smiled to herself, thinking: what a strange and stubborn little girl. What are we waiting for then? Lets eat! said one of the girls. The other quickly locked the dormitory door and said, Lets take our time. Youre all so sneaky, Serena Busterughed. Hurry, hurry, eat. The six girls in the dormitory ate and chatted at ease, not in a hurry at all. Daisy Zane sat in a chair, her cell phone thrown onto the table while she listened to them. The other two girls were adorable and very entertaining to talk to. They likely were assigned by the school to help lighten the mood. As Daisy Zane listened, suddenly, her phone on the table rang. The sound wasnt very loud, but everyones attention was instantly drawn to it. They all looked at the cell phone. The callers name was marked with an asterisk, but the background picture of the iing call was a side profile of Kevin rk. Celeste Martin was standing right beside her, leaning against her cab, very close to her. She slightly turned her head and saw the picture on the cell phone. Her eyes tightened instantly. It was the man who was at the Court Music Academy, talking to a little boy and Charles Flores that day. Charles Flores had called him Third Master. Later, she asked about him, but Charles Flores told her not to inquire too much. So she searched for him online on her own. Although there were no photos avable, who else could be called Third Master other than the man from the rk Family? However, why did Daisy Zane have his photo and even set it as the background for her iing calls? Was it Third Master rk calling her? How could that be possible? The two other girls and Serena Buster, who were farther away, couldnt see clearly. After a quick nce, they looked away, not wanting to pry into someones privacy. Only when Olivia Lane saw it, she almost wrote speechless on her face. Didnt they have contact over the phone just at noon? Why is he calling again now? Chapter 269 - 258: Su Family Chapter 269: Chapter 258: Su Family Trantor: 549690339 Celeste Martins gaze was too obvious, not only did Daisy Zane feel it, but Olivia Lane also furrowed her brows. Daisy picked up her cellphone, looking up at Celeste. Celeste, seeing her phone being taken away, looked at Daisy subconsciously. Seeing her staring back, Celestes eyshes fluttered twice before she quickly forced a smile. Daisy looked away and didnt pay her any more attention. She pressed answer and went to the balcony to take the call. When no incidents ur, phone calls between her and Kevin rk hardly everst longer than five minutes. Moreover, they had already talked on the phone at noon, so tonights call might not evenst three minutes. Third Master rk knew this, so he brought Charles Amos to rk Manor to kill time. Thus, the call sessfullysted more than ten minutes. Before hanging up, Daisy advised Charles not to cause trouble and not to fall into the pool since he was staying at rk Manor. When Daisy returned to the dormitory, Serena Buster and the other two students had already gone to wash and rinse. Only Olivia Lane and Celeste Martin were left in the dorm. Olivia was on the phone too, and from the tone of her words, it seemed like William Lane was on the other end of the line. Celeste heard the sound of the balcony door opening and immediately looked at Daisy, smiling, Was it your boyfriends call? Daisy looked at her. As Olivia continued her call, she too looked at Celeste. Seeing both of them looking at her, Celeste froze for a moment, thenughed, Im sorry, Im being nosy. You talk too much. Olivia took her cellphone and looked at Celeste, her voice colder than before. Celeste was taken aback and immediately looked at Olivia. But Olivia gave her a nce, then turned her chair back to face her desk, her voice softening with a hint of coquetry, I know. You talk so much, you shoulde to see me. Seeing Olivia not paying attention to her anymore, Celeste pursed her lips and her expression darkened. Those words were clearly meant for her to hear. A neen-year-old high school dropout, where did she get her sense of superiority from? She took a deep breath and looked at Daisy again. Daisy had already looked away but felt Celestes gaze again and nced back, raising an eyebrow. Her expression was no different from usual, but there was a faint cold light in her eyes. But it felt like provocation to Celeste, as if Daisy was saying, Im talking about you, what are you going to do about it? However, all Celeste could do was feel upset without daring to confront Daisy. Because she not only felt Daisys provocation but also her oppression. So, with just one nce from her, Celeste got up and took her things to wash and rinse. Hearing her closing the door, Olivia nced at the entrance and then at Daisy before continuing her call. Daisy lowered her head, looking at her cellphone, and texted Charles. Knowing Olivia had nced at her, she gently curved her lips. Then, while instructing Charles, she listened to Olivias call. Olivia said, Brother, youre young, dont be so naggy, youre even worse than Dad. Williamughed, If you behave well, Ill talk less. Who were you scolding just now? Its nothing. Dont let yourself be bullied, William said, If youre in trouble, call Kevin. I know, you can hang up now, Im going to wash up. Alright, behave yourself. I got it Daisy looked down quietly and listened, a shallow smile in her eyes. For a moment, she thought about why she liked this young girl. Probably one-third of it was down to envy, she supposed. As for the remaining two-thirds, she felt it might be fate. Are you going to wash up? Olivia threw her cellphone onto the table and looked at her. Mhm. High school dorms have strict management; the lights are turned off at the designated hour. If you dont finish washing up, the teachers will chase you like ducks. Daisy and Olivia were both hurriedly sent back by the teachers. Luckily, they both finished washing up and didnt end up like the girls in the partition room next door, who had to return to the dorm with their hair covered in foam. After returning to the dorm, the two tidied up in the dark and got into bed before the teacher came to check. When the teacher left, Daisy said, Olivia, dry your hair before you sleep. The usually sharp-tongued little girl suddenly fell silent. Daisy waited a few seconds, and when she didnt hear a response, she called out to her again, Olivia? Finally, Olivia replied, What? Youre not allowed to call me by my name. Why? Daisy whispered, Why can others call you that, but I cant? Chapter 270 - 258 Su Family_2 Chapter 270: Chapter 258 Su Family_2 Trantor: 549690339 No means no. Okay, Daisy Zane said, Dry your hair before you sleep. I know. Olivia Lane replied impatiently. The dorm teacher was strolling outside, and the six roommates whispered a few words when the teacher was not around. However, after being warned twice, everyone quieted down. Gradually, they all fell asleep. Only Olivia Lane, because Daisy called her name, suddenly suffered from insomnia. Actually, people around her called her by her name, but she didnt know why Daisy calling her made her feel inexplicably panicked. Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, Olivia Lane didnt fall asleep until after midnight. However, fifteen minutester, Daisy Zanes cell phone suddenly lit up. Afraid of disturbing others, she put her phone on mute before going to bed and ced it beside her pillow. But as soon as it lit up, Daisy Zane opened her eyes. Olivia Lane, who happened to have just fallen asleep, also opened her eyes due to the sudden brightness. Daisy Zane saw that it was a call from Robinson Scott and hung up first. Then she covered herself with a quilt and texted him. Olivia Lane, who had been awakened, nced at her, turned over gently, and continued to sleep. But as soon as she dozed off again, Daisy Zane got out of bed, opened her cab, and left the dormitory. Olivia Lane opened her eyes again, took a light breath, and wanted to hit someone. Daisy Zane took two sets of clothes from the cab, put them on in the restroom partition, then put on headphones and listened to the voice message from Robinson Scott. Brother Nine, save me! My dad and my father came to Imperial Capital and went to the Hobson Family overnight! I cant exin it to both of them, and they wont believe me. My dad handcuffed me and kept someone watching me. I dont have the courage to pry open the lock. Daisy Zane slowly typed: [Where did you go? Got caught by your dad?] I was at home today and then my dad saw the message online and tied me up huh? Thest voice message was not finished when Robinson Scotts message suddenly stopped. His cell phone must have been confiscated. Daisy Zane sat on the toilet, looking at the time. It was almost one oclock, and Robinson Scotts two fathers took him to the Hobson residence Just as she thought, Holt Lawrence called her again. Daisy Zane hung up on him again, and sent a message: [Send a voice message.] Holt Lawrences voice message came immediately: Little Nine, Adam Scott is in Imperial Capital. He came overnight, and its quite a big deal. It must be because of Robinson Scotts incident. Robinson Scott cant speak up in front of his dad. Holt Lawrence said, Do you want to step in and solve it? In case it turns into a fight Its not good to hurt the family rtionship, especially since its Robinson Scotts family. Secondly, the situation could easily turn chaotic. The issue with Room 319 hasnt been solved. Its better not to let the Imperial Capital be unstable. Edward Kirsten definitely wont miss any opportunity to infiltrate the Imperial Capital. Daisy Zane naturally understood what Holt Lawrence said. She just didnt expect Adam Scott toe to Imperial Capital with such a big show. If Edward Kirsten infiltrated the Imperial Capital, it would definitely be a big problem. Adam Scott and Harton rk should be acquainted. But for his daughter, Adam Scott could do anything. Although he certainly wouldnt be able to touch Harton rk, if it escted to a fight, the Imperial Capital might be in chaos. But Harton rk should have a sense of propriety. She just didnt know if Adam Scotts overnight visit to the Hobson residence with such a big show was within Harton rks tolerance. Daisy Zane thought about it and felt this might be the excitement that Harton rk mentioned. Since it was excitement, she should join in. [Understood.] Daisy Zane replied to Holt Lawrence with a message. Then she left the partition and headed straight towards the window. There were no railings on the restroom windows, so she opened the window and looked down. Then she propped herself up on the windowsill with one hand and jumped out of the window. Olivia Lane saw that she hadnt returned, so she went out for a look. But as soon as she entered the restroom, she saw her jumping out of the window. She was startled, feeling as if her heart had stopped for a moment, and ran immediately to the window to look down. Then she saw Daisy Zane, dressed in ck, walking towards the schools exit. Olivia Lane watched her figure, her heart that almost jumped to her throat slowly subsided, and then she looked down again. Third floor What was she doing jumping out sote? Olivia Lane stood by the window, watching Daisy Zanes figure disappear. After thinking about it, she quickly returned to her dormitory, changed her clothes quietly, and left the dormitory to run down the side stairs.. Chapter 271 - 258 Su Family_3 Chapter 271: Chapter 258 Su Family_3 Trantor: 549690339 Upon reaching the first floor, she observed there was no movement. She then quietly and cautiously made her way to the side door in the corridor. There was a side door at the end of the corridor, which was usually locked. Pulling out a piece of iron wire from a nearby broom, she opened the lock and nced back. The corridor was eerily quiet at night. Feeling a slight shiver, sensing a strange and chilling aura, she quickly and silently stepped outside and then locked the door from the outside. Quiet as a whisper, she had escaped from the dormitory. Daisy Zane had climbed over the school wall and made her way to the main road, after which she used her cell phone to order a car. As she was waiting for the car by the road, she heard the sound of footsteps. It was ratherte, and the noise seemed to being from the direction of the school fence. She immediately turned around to look and saw Olivia Lane walking toward her. Olivia Lane must have been running for some distance, her thin lips slightly parted as she panted. Daisy Zane frowned as she saw her, her voice somewhat cold, How did you manage to get out? Olivia Lane walked over, What? Youre allowed to go out, but Im not? Daisy Zane did not reply. Oblivious of Daisy Zanes eye, Olivia Lane responded, I opened the lock on the side door on the first floor. I didnt do something like jumping out of the window, like you. Hearing her answer, Daisy Zanes gaze softened slightly, Ah, so you came out because of me. You must be dreaming if you think Ide out because of you! Olivia Lane stood next to Daisy Zane with her arms crossed. I was having trouble sleeping and came out for some fresh air. I wanted to see if you had broken an arm or a leg. The wind was slightly strong that night, causing both their hair to flutter about. Daisy Zane smoothed out her hair and said, Dont follow my example. Its a bad habit. Whos learning from you? I can get out of here by walking. Are you a habitual offender? Dont be ridiculous. Its my first year living in the dormitory. This is only my second time out. Daisy Zane chuckled, Second time. If it happens one more time, Ill send the surveince of you climbing the wall to Old Master Lane. Olivia Lane looked at her in horror. Daisy Zane: I always follow through. You Olivia Lane nced at Daisy Zane, seemingly convinced that she was capable of such things, and turned her head away, grunting in disdain. Observing her reaction, Daisy Zane smiled subtly. After a moment of silence, Olivia Lane asked, Where are you going? To the Hobson Family house to witness some drama. Daisy Zane looked at her and offered, Would you like toe? Im rather bored on my own. Olivia Lane looked at her, nced down at her feet, then awkwardly replied, Alright then. After answering, she added, Whats happening at the Hobson Family house? Daisy Zane messaged Holt Lawrence, asking him to delete the surveince footage of the two of them leaving the school. Hearing Olivia Lanes question, she replied, Its rted to a rumor. Olivia Lane raised her eyebrows, her expression reading ready for the juicy details. After both of them got in the car, it took them a little over twenty minutes to reach the Hobson Family Vi. The Hobson Family Vi had been surrounded by people. From the entrance, to the left were people from the rk Family, and to the right were Adam Scotts followers. There was a standoff. The grand doors of the vi were wide open, with lights zing bright throughout the entire mansion. When Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane alighted from the taxi, the taxi driver, upon seeing the situation, hastily made a U-turn and sped away. He left behind a gust of wind that whizzed past them. Olivia Lane: As soon as the taxi stopped at the entrance, people from both sides became alert. On the rk Family side, Juan Wright was outside leading the group. Upon recognizing the neers, his face instantly lit up with delight, and he jogged over to Daisy Zane, calling out, Teacher, why are you here? Having said that, he turned to the side, looked at Olivia Lane, and eximed, Miss Lane?! Olivia Lane nced at him but said nothing. Juan Wright then looked back at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane asked, Whats happening inside? Juan Wright responded, The Third Master and Young Master Lane are inside. Theyve been in there for almost ten minutes, not entirely sure what theyre doing. Hugo rk is also there?! Olivia Lane immediately lost interest in the gossip. Yes, Miss Lane. Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lanes immediate reaction of wanting to hide and chuckled, Lets go in. Okay. As they were walking in, Olivia Lane asked, What happened that caused such amotion? Who are those people? Daisy Zane replied, The former Scott Family. Olivia Lane stopped in her tracks, The Scott Family! Daisy Zane, knowing what she must be thinking, assured her, There wont be any problems. Considering her thought, Olivia Lane believed there probably wouldnt be any issue as long as Harton rk was present. The two women entered the living room, permeated by an eerie silence, not knowing what the two sides had just discussed. The whole living room was eerily silent. It was only after the two of them entered the living room that the eerie silence was broken. Everyone in the living room turned to look at the door upon hearing footsteps. Harton rk was sitting on the sofa, his face devoid of any expression as he looked their way. The sharp and overpowering aura emanating from his narrow eyes was extremely intense and stifling,pelling and domineering in nature. However, the moment he recognized who had walked in, his astonished gaze softened as all intensity dissipated. His previously cold and indifferent face immediately softened into a gentle and warm expression. Seeing his change of expression, Olivia Lane thought: Chapter 272 - 259 Chapter 272: Chapter 259 Trantor: 549690339 The living room was as bright as daylight, and Daisy Zane and Olivia Lanes faces were illuminated to the point of glowing white. Everyone in the living room was looking at Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane. In particr, the moment they saw Daisy Zane, everyones pupils seemed to pause for a moment. The eerie silence was broken in that instant, and a trend of rxation appeared. Robinson Scott looked at Daisy Zane and almost cried with excitement, as if he had seen a savior. Arthur North approached Daisy Zane before everyone else, and said while looking down at her, How did youe out? Daisy Zane nced at the people in the living room before finally looking up at him, her beautiful phoenix-like eyes calm and waveless: What do you think? Olivia Lane looked at her sideways and thought to herself, shes so brave to talk to Arthur North like that. Despite being lightly teased, Arthur North showed no temper and smiled gently, Dont worry, nothing will happen. After speaking, he looked at Olivia Lane, and the smile in his eyes disappeared more than half in an instant. Feeling his gaze, Olivia Lane didnt dare to look up at him and directly lowered her gaze to hide behind Daisy Zane. Then Daisy Zane met Arthur Norths serious and imposing gaze. Arthur North: Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson immediately came over as well. Robinson Scott wanted toe too, but as soon as he took a step forward, his fathers handcuffs pulled him back. Robinson Scott: First, Allonzo Hobson called out Brook Sister, then Hugo rk greeted Daisy Zane with his eyes before looking at Olivia Lane. Then Olivia Lane hid behind Daisy Zane again, letting herpletely block herself. But Hugo rk walked right up to her and looked at her expressionlessly. Olivia Lane pretended not to see and lowered her head to move to the other side of Daisy Zane. But before she could, Arthur North stood on the other side of Daisy Zane and held her hand. Olivia Lane stopped: She had nowhere to move, and she was too close to Arthur North, so the oppressive feeling made it difficult for her to breathe. So she had to move back. Then she looked at the expressionless Hugo rk who was still looking at her, and tried her best to squeeze out a smile, saying: rk, Brother Enamel. Hugo rk responded lightly, seeing Adam Scott and others bringing Robinson Scott over, and didnt say much more. Daisy Zane saw theming and first looked at Robinson Scott, then said: Uncle Scott, Uncle Baker. Robinson Scott had always been calling his father Pete Baker. Pete Baker nodded his head. Adam Scott replied, though he appeared angry, he still gave face to Daisy Zane and lowered his voice: Nana, youre here too. Brother Nine Robinson Scott whispered. He wanted to say more, but was red at by Adam Scott and held back, not daring to speak. Arthur North saw Adam Scotts reaction to Daisy Zane, and a sh of curiosity appeared in his eyes. The Scott Familys previous status in Imperial Capital was on par with the rk Family and the Lane Family, known as the three great families of Imperial Capital. The three families restrained each other and maintained a bnce of power. However, more than thirty years ago, for some reason, Adam Scott, the only child of the Scott Family, went to the Mountain Sea Continent with Pete Baker. Since then, the Scott Family declined, leaving only the rk Family and the Lane Family. But Adam Scott developed well in the Mountain Sea Continent, and his power was still great, so he still had prestige in Imperial Capital. He even brought so many people to Imperial Capital, showing a force capable of confronting both the rk and Lane families head-on. However, his attitude towards Daisy Zane seemed somewhat cautious. Daisy Zane looked at Robinson Scott again and said: Uncle Scott, you should know, Robinson wouldnt dare to lie to you. Robinson Scotts head nodded like a drum. Adam Scott red at him again: But they were on the same bed. Daisy Zane looked at Robinson Scott again. Seeing her lower her head, pouting her mouth, she knew that she must have been frightened by her fathers lustful power and slipped up. Otherwise, the surveince photos only captured the two of them at the entrance of the room, and how could Adam Scott know that they had gotten onto the same bed? Uncle Scott, this matter is indeed my fault, said Allonzo Hobson. I didnt handle it well. If you need anypensation, I will do my best. Ever since they arrived, Allonzo Hobsons attitude had been very good. After all, as a girl, although nothing happened between them, it wasnt good for her reputation either. So Allonzo Hobson set his attitude straight from the beginning. However, from the moment Adam Scott entered, no matter what he said, he didnt respond to a single word. He sat on the sofa with a ck face, disying a tense and confrontational demeanor.. Chapter 273 - 259_2 Chapter 273: Chapter 259_2 Trantor: 549690339 Now that Allonzo Hobson said something, Adam Scott ignored him. Just as the atmosphere was frozen again, Allonzos father George Hobson and mother Phoebe Turner hurried over. As soon as the two entered the living room, George nodded to Arthur North and Hugo rk, then turned his gaze to Adam Scott and Pete Baker. Meanwhile, Phoebe Turner made eye contact with Daisy Zane, and then her gaze fell directly on Robinson Scott. Dad, Mom, howe youre here? Allonzo Hobson walked up to them and asked. But neither of them paid any attention to him, as if they hadnt seen him at all. George went past him to shake hands with Scott and Baker, while Phoebe went straight to Robinson Scott. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Robinson as if she had found some kind of treasure. You must be Robinson Scott, she said. Robinson blinked and said, Uhyes. Phoebes eyes were practically closed from her smile, Youre really beautiful. Robinson awkwardly smiled back. Allonzos heart sank at his mothers smile. He had a feeling that bigger troubles wereing his way. George stood in front of Adam Scott and extended his hand, Mr. Scott, Mr. Baker. I am Allonzos father, George Hobson. Adam nced at his hand but didnt move or say anything. Pete Baker, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly to warn him. Adam finally shook hands with George and said, Adam Scott. Seeing that the two families had greeted each other, Arthur North said, Lets sit down and talk. Yes, yes, lets sit down and talk, Phoebe agreed, patting Robinsons hand. Well sit down and talk things through slowly, theres no need to rush. Robinson felt uneasy under Phoebes smile and quickly nced at Daisy Zane. But Daisy was busy looking at Olivia Lane, not noticing Robinsons gaze. Everyone sat down and Phoebe served the tea. Arthur North didnt need her assistance and brewed his tea leisurely on his side. George Hobson spoke, Mr. Scott, Mr. Baker. We have a general understanding of the situation. Its Allonzos fault, he knew that Robinson is ady, and still brought her into his room. The Hobson family will bear all responsibility and losses for everything that has happened to Miss Scott. Yes, yes, Phoebe added, Its Allonzo who made the mistake, and we will definitely take responsibility. Robinson shook her head, thinking loudly in her heart: No need to take responsibility, really no need! Allonzo looked at his parents, then at Robinson. Seeing that she seemed to have something to say but was too afraid to speak up, he gently raised the corner of his lips in a smile. George Hobson red at his son, then continued, If the two of you have any requests, or if Miss Scott has any requests, please feel free to speak up. Meanwhile, Arthur North and the others leisurely brewed their tea on the other side. After preparing the tea, Arthur poured a cup for Daisy Zane. As soon as he finished, she handed the cup to Olivia Lane. Arthurs expression didnt change, but he exchanged a nce with Hugo rk. Both men saw resentment in each others eyes. Arthurs resentment came from jealousy over Daisys kindness to someone else. Hugos resentment came from losing an opportunity to personally pour tea for Olivia. The two men looked away from each other, feeling annoyed. After observing Allonzos attitude and his parents demeanor, Adam Scott finally spoke up. He took a sip of the tea Phoebe had poured and said, In this matter, Robinson is at fault too, she was simply groggy. No, no, Phoebe insisted with a smile, Its Allonzo, he didnt handle the matter properly. Its all his fault. Uncle Scott, I do bear a great deal of responsibility for this, Allonzo admitted. Adam looked at Allonzo, thinking that he was good-looking, responsible, capable, and came from a good family with a good job. He was quite satisfied. Moreover, Allonzos parents seemed to be understanding and reasonable as well. The Scotts had brought quite a few people with them, but the Hobsons hadnt taken advantage of their geographical or power advantage to bully them Adam Scott straightened his face and said, Regardless of whos at fault, the fact that this incident has happened to these two children. I think Adam paused for a moment, taking a sip of tea. George and Phoebe both looked at him, waiting for him to continue. I think this is also their fate, Adam continued. Since the incident took ce and the scandal has begun to spread, why not take this opportunity and unite our two families through marriage? Upon hearing him say this, Pete Baker, who was clear about Adams intention from the beginning, lowered his gaze and continued drinking tea, not wanting to say a word.. Chapter 274 - 259_3 Chapter 274: Chapter 259_3 Trantor: 549690339 Who would have thought he came with such a grand disy just to threaten someone into marrying his own daughter? Everyone stared at Robinson Scott with widened eyes. Allonzo Hobson and Robinson werepletely dumbfounded. George Hobsons expression, besides being surprised, was obviously mixed with some strange emotions. Then he nced at Phoebe Turner. Phoebe hesitated for a moment, then pped her hands andughed, Mr. Hobson, is that really what youre thinking? Thats what I was thinking too! Allonzo looked at his mother: ? I took a liking to Robinson the moment I saw him, thinking we have fate together. Phoebe said, Sure enough, were on the same page. A smile finally appeared on Adam Scotts face: Im also quite satisfied with your son. Dad! Robinson called out to him. Adam gave her a fierce re: Shut up! Robinson turned to look at Pete Baker: Daddy Theres no use in calling him. Ive made up my mind about this. Adam said. Robinson opened her mouth, anger on her face but not daring to speak it, face turning red. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows and whispered to Daisy Zane, Lively. Daisy looked at him sideways. She really didnt expect what he meant by lively to be this matter. How well do you have to understand someone so that you can even predict what Adam would want to do after seeing that piece of gossip? Third Master rks reputation for being calcting is indeed not in vain. Why that look? Kevin smiled at her. Daisy looked at him for a moment longer. Since he understood people to that extent, and Kevin would definitely not joke around about this kind of thing to screw over Allonzo and Robinson, he must have a solution. You solve it. Daisy said calmly. Alright, Ill solve it. Kevin said, Shall I take you home first? Daisy nced at Olivia Lane, who was resting her chin on her hand, looking very interested, and said, A cup of tea. Meaning to stay for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Ok. Kevin nced at Olivia Lane and still found it strange. Its fine that the little girl likes this little ancestor, but why does this little ancestor also stick to his little girl so much? On the other side, the atmosphere became very harmonious. Adam didnt expect things to go so smoothly, his attitude improved a lot, and his tone softened a few degrees: Our families have been in Imperial Capital for generations. You all know the current situation of our family. Honestly, our rtionship has indeed had some impact on Robinsons marriage. Youre overthinking. Phoebe said, Parents are parents, children are children. Besides, its not something bad. Seeing the atmosphere ease, George Hobson didnt say much, echoed his wife, Yes, yes. epting or not epting is everyones right. Pete Baker said gently, Its just that I always feel that we owe Robinson. Daddy, youre overthinking it. I just dont want to get married. Robinson muttered quietly. Shut up, children shouldnt interrupt when adults are talking. Adam said. Robinson, who was almost thirty and still being called a child: Robinson was picked up by us on the roadside. She has grown up under our influence, and her temperament and manner of doing things have been somewhat crude at times. Pete said, But she is generally good and has more advantages. Moreover, her emotional orientation has not been affected. Robinson: Allonzos head waspletely nk now, his gaze fell on Robinson, and he waspletely stunned. The moment I saw Robinson, I liked her from the bottom of my heart. Phoebe said, The child you two raised must be excellent. George Hobson continued to agree: Thats right, thats right. Our Xavier has had a lot of gossip because of his work, Phoebe Turner exined, However, his private life is really clean. I can guarantee that on behalf of the entire Hobson family. George Hobson: Yes, indeed. I know that. Since no one has any objections, lets settle on this, Adam Scott decided, Tomorrow is a good day; the two of them should just get their marriage certificate then. Ahem! Pete Baker choked on his tea. Thats how scared you are that your daughter will go unmarried, as if you cant wait to marry her off at once, Pete thought to himself, then decided. Indeed, with Robinsons temper, fearless of heaven and earth, this girl seemed like a hooligan. It was necessary to find a scapegoat to marry her off as soon as possible. George Hobson looked at Phoebe Turner, and she looked back at him, then at Robinson. Seeing that Robinsons face turned red with anger, ring at Adam Scott but not daring to speak, she said, We, of course, have no objections. But the children Adam Scott looked directly at Xavier Hobson. Xavier, who was daydreaming, sensed the attention on himself, straightened up, and said, This situation arose because of me and has implicated Miss Scotts reputation. As I said, I will take responsibility. As long as Miss Scott has no objections, I can agree. You can kiss my ass. Robinson grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it at Xavier. Xavier didnt dodge and was hit by the pillow. You stay put, Adam Scott told her. Robinson red at Xavier and then Adam Scott before yelling, Brother Nine! Its no use calling for Nana, Adam Scott said, Ive made the decision on this. Daisy Zane, who was called, looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk smiled at her and said, Mr. Hobson, Mr. Baker, we cant force rtionships. Everyone looked at Kevin rk. Under the incandescentmp, the enchanting aura between Kevins eyebrows became clearer: How about letting them get to know each other first, for a period of one year? Let the two of them decide for themselves. This Adam Scott didnt want to. Mr. Scott, Kevin spoke to him, Even if you were to tie Robinson up and take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow, after you leave, she could easily get a divorce if they dont have that fate. Then shed be a divorcee. This means that it would be even more difficult for her to get married. Initially, Adam and Pete wanted to adopt a boy, which would be more convenient to care for. But they happened to pick up Robinson from the road. Over the years, those well-matched families have looked down on Robinson because of her background. Its not only due to their rtionship but also due to the gossip about them raising a little girl, as well as criticisms of Robinson. People always talk about gender equality, but deep down, theyre always more vicious to girls. Even their legally recognized father-daughter rtionship was dragged through the mud. Robinson has had a bad temper since childhood, and the only reputable job she has now is the leader of the Darknight n. But those well-matched families also despise a girl with ambitions, who is involved in strife and killings. For the lesser families, Adam and Pete cant approve. Thats why theyve been worried about Robinsons marriage for years. If they dont address her marriage, theyll be guilty for a lifetime. So, they inquired about Xavier, and then they forced the marriage. But what if she bes a divorcee? It would be an even bigger problem then. Since fate has brought everyone here, why not give it another chance? Kevin suggested, What do you think? Chapter 275 - 260: Sister Chapter 275: Chapter 260: Sister Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk spoke more casually with them, since they were of the same generation. And the effect of this sentence was quite significant. Both families instantly fell into a pondering state. Seeing the effect, Robinson Scott almost pped for Kevin rk. Robinson kept thinking: Brother Nine got a good marriage, Brother Nine knows how to control his husband, Brother Nine is so domineering. No one spoke in the living room, and Daisy Zane calmly said: I think Third Master rk makes sense. Everyone looked at Daisy Zane, who originally thought that Kevin rk was right, but now they felt it even more reasonable after hearing her push. Kevin rk also looked at her, for the first time feeling so wonderful to be echoed. And the way these two echo each other Is thishusband and wife? Daisy Zane nced at their eyes, then picked up the tea and took a sip. With just a casual nce, everyone came back to their senses and looked away. Adam Scott coughed lightly and said: Hmmwhat Third Master and Nana said makes sense. Inws, what do you think? Pete Baker coughed again, if it werent for the presence of outsiders, he really wanted to curse him shameless. Robinson Scott: If it makes sense, then dont call them inws. Interestingly, Phoebe Turner and George Hobson responded quickly and immediately agreed: We respect Robinsons opinion. Allonzo Hobson: Then how about this, Adam Scott said, Lets set a period of one year, but you need to spend a week together every month to cultivate feelings. What do you think, inw? George Hobson looked at Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson said: I will follow Uncle Scotts arrangements. Alright, there is no problem on Robinsons side, Adam Scott said, Lets make it final, and I will periodically check on it. When did I say I have no problem? Robinson Scott couldnt help but ask a question. What problem do you have? asked Adam Scott, looking at her. I Robinson Scott met his eyes, immediately feeling defeated, Ihave no problem. Allonzo Hobsonughed a bit at her surrendered appearance. Outside, she would turn over heaven and earth, but at home, she had to be a good child. She could only behave, not daring to be outspoken. Then lets settle it like this, said Adam Scott. Alright, alright, Phoebe Turner, who was sitting next to Robinson Scott, got up and said, Little Scott, lets exchange contact information for future convenience. Robinson Scott looked at Phoebe Turner, and even though she was almost fifty, it seemed that time hadnt left any marks on her beautiful face. Adam Scott took out Robinsons cell phone from his pocket, unlocked it with her fingers, and directly showed the contact QR code to Phoebe Turner: Madam Hobson, this is her contact information. But Phoebe Turner still looked at Robinson Scott first for her opinion. Seeing her nod, she scanned the code and added her contact. Afterward, the four parents exchanged contact information. Then everyone dispersed. When they left the Hobson home, Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane walked together, with Kevin rk and Hugo rk on either side. Kevin rk held Daisy Zanes hand, Olivia Lane walked by Daisy Zanes side, and with a side nce looked at Hugo rk. She was silently praying in her heart for him to leave quickly. However, the prayer didnt work. On the contrary, it had a counter-effect, causing Hugo rk to suddenly speak. His calm, even somewhat experienced tone, suddenly startled Olivia Lane. Why are you running out sote? Olivia Lane pursed her lips and didnt answer him. Hugo rk looked at her and continued: Wont you be sleepy in ss tomorrow if you go out sote? Olivia Lane still didnt speak. Daisy Zane nced at Hugo rk, thinking that he seemed to have been sent by William Lane. And Kevin rk also nced at him, that nce seemed to be cursing him. How could their family have such a fool. Didnt they have anything else to say when they finally met? However, Hugo rk continued: Didnt you promise your brother that you would study hard this year? Kevin rk: When do you graduate with this attitude toward learning? Olivia Lane was annoyed with his questions and looked at him, saying, Can you stop asking already! Graduation is next year anyway, there is no hurry. Why are you all so annoying? Im not a child anymore, and a bunch of people are watching me. Hugo rk stopped walking and looked at her. Seeing her angry appearance, he suddenly swallowed and didnt dare to say anything. Or rathersuddenly, he didnt know what to say anymore. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane also stopped walking and looked at them.. Chapter 276 - 260: Sister 2 Chapter 276 - 260: Sister 2 Chapter 276: Chapter 260: Sister 2 Trantor: 549690339 The four of them stood quietly for a few seconds. Olivia lowered her gaze and took a light breath, wanting to leave. However, Hugo subconsciously grabbed her arm, not allowing her to walk away. After letting off steam, Olivia realized she might have gone a bit too far. So she said nothing when Hugo grabbed her arm, just lowered her head and stayed still. Amelie. Hugo softened his voice, The Lanes didnte with you, and its not safe for you to go out alone at night. I know. Olivia paused and said softly, Thank you for your concern, Brother Enamel. Daisy raised an eyebrowthe girl sure had a temper, but she was quick to admit her mistakes. Seeing that Olivia was no longer angry, Hugo breathed a sigh of relief and gently tousled her hair. Alright. Lets go; Ill take you back home. Okay. Olivia responded and went ahead, with Hugo following closely behind. Watching from where she stood, Daisy looked at Hugo for a moment. Suddenly, she thought that maybe this man was not sent by Roy Madison. Whats wrong? Harton asked her when he noticed she wasnt moving. Daisy retracted her gaze and walked forward, Nothing. Although Olivia and Hugo walked ahead, both she and Olivia, as if by tacit understanding, chose to sit in the back seat of the car when they got there. Once they sat down, Daisy looked at the calmed Olivia. Have you had enough excitement for today? Leaning back, Olivia nced at her and said, It wasnt too bad. I didnt expect this twist; however, that woman named Robinson and Brother Xavier do seem like a good match. Daisy smiled. It seemed like Harton had nned to set Allonzo and Robinson together from the very beginning, which was why all this had happened. Is Robinson your friend? Yes. Daisy nodded. Olivia thought for a moment and said, Adam Scott seems a bit wary of you. Upon hearing this, Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly. Olivia then said, I think you are a bit mysterious, not like how we initially thought. Are you scared? Whats there to be afraid of? What if Im not a good person? Daisy said, What if I have some ulterior motive for getting close to you? Olivia looked at her, and for some reason, even with these words, she didnt feel any sense of danger or crisis. It was as if her guard was down. What purpose could there be for getting close to me? Olivia asked, Why, are you trying to have your cake and eat it toowith both my brother and Harton? You want the three of you to be together? Daisy: Is that really the case? Olivia asked again when Daisy remained silent. Daisy: This little girl, what a train of thought. The two of them chatted inside the car while the two men outside stood on opposite sides, looking at each other across the vehicle. They had let the driver follow another car so that the four of them could be in one car: Hugo driving, Olivia in the co-pilot seat. Then, Harton and Daisy would sit in the back. However, reality was crueler than imagination. Harton and Hugo stood outside the car, looking at each other. Uncle and nephew were both ring at each other with contempt. In the end, it was Harton who got in the co-pilot seat first, a step ahead of Hugo. Once he was inside, Olivia, who had been in mid-sentence, choked back her words, not daring to make a sound. After a while, Hugo also got in. The pressure in the car dropped, as the two mens presence doubled, making Olivia wish she could hide herself away. The car started and drove smoothly. After a while, Harton asked, Shall I take you back to the school? Yes. Daisy said, The back gate of the school. Harton chuckled and said, Little girl, you broke school rules by sneaking out on your first day. Daisy looked down at her cell phone and said, Is it my fault? No, its mine. Harton replied, I didnt exin things clearly, and I worried you. Olivia: This was not the Harton she knew! Daisy informed Holt that everything was fine now and put her phone away, saying, I was just afraid Edward Kirsten would infiltrate Imperial Capital. Hearing the name, Hartons expression darkened. He wont get that chance. With this simple sentence, Daisys heart settled a bit. She smiled and said, Well, then, Ill just pretend I was just here to watch the excitement. Harton smiled and said, If you have any concerns in the future, let me know. Running around at night and recording shows during the day? Your body cant handle theck of rest.. Chapter 277 - 260 Sister_3 Chapter 277 - 260 Sister_3 Chapter 277: Chapter 260 Sister_3 Trantor: 549690339 These words were not only meant for Daisy Zane, but also meant to teach Hugo rk a lesson. Daisy Zane agreed. Hugo rk nced at him and quietly took note in his heart. Theres still a distance to go, get some rest in the car. Arthur North said. Okay. Daisy Zane didnt actually sleep after she agreed, but two minutester, Amelie Quentin had fallen asleep. Moreover, she slept so soundly that her head didnt wake up when it kept hitting the seat. After another knock, the car turned around. Due to inertia, Amelie Quentin suddenly fell towards Daisy Zanes side. Daisy Zane instinctively raised her hand to support her face. Hugo rk and Arthur North both looked back through the rearview mirror. After all themotion, Amelie Quentin still didnt wake up. Daisy Zane held her head with one hand and then moved to her side, allowing her to lean against his shoulder. Once she was leaning on his shoulder, Amelie Quentin rubbed her head to find a morefortable position, cing her hand on Daisy Zanes leg and continued to sleep. Daisy Zane nced at her, then lowered his voice and said, Arthur North, give me your coat. Arthur North didnt move, but looked at Hugo rk instead. This little girl not only liked Amelie Quentin, but was also too gentle to her. He didnt receive such treatment himself! The next second, Hugo rk slowly stopped the car by the roadside, removed his coat, and handed it to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at the coat, hesitated for a moment before taking it and draping it over Amelie Quentin. Hugo rk watched as they put the coat on Amelie Quentin, not restarting the car until she wasfortably covered. Daisy Zane looked at the coat, hesitated for a moment before taking it and draping it over Amelie Quentin. Arthur North turned his head, met her gaze, and knew what she was thinking, so he smiled at her. However, Daisy Zane suddenly couldntugh. Hugo rk was thirty-one, thirty-one. Amelie Quentin was only neen The car stopped at the schools back gate, Daisy Zane raised her hand to poke Amelie Quentins face, and softly called out, Miss, wake up. Amelie Quentin s eyebrows}, {text={data:slightly furrowed, but she didnt open her eyes, Daisy Zane felt that her face was nice to touch, so she poked her again, Its time for ss, wake up quickly. Amelie Quentins eyebrow furrowed even deeper, and the hand on Daisy Zanes leg suddenly gripped her clothes tightly. She used so much strength that Daisy Zane felt his clothing was choking him. Amelie. Hugo rk called out to her. Amelie Quentins grip tightened again, and she murmured, Sister. Although the voice wasnt loud, the three people in the car heard it clearly. Hugo rk was stunned for a moment, and Arthur Norths eyshes slightly trembled. Sister, sister, sister Amelie Quentin kept calling out, as if trapped in a nightmare. Each time she called out, Daisy Zanes head felt as if it was stabbed with a needle. She looked at Amelie Quentin, her face not showing any sign of pain, but the other hand slowly clenched. Sister, sister dont leave, dont leave, dont leave! Amelie Quentin suddenly straightened up and opened her eyes. Her eyes were unfocused, reddened, and filled with tears, looking somewhat blurred at Daisy Zane. However, she urately grasped her hand, Sister? Hugo rk unbuckled the seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car. He then opened the back door, Amelie. Amelie Quentin still didnt move. Hugo rk raised his hand and held her arm, whispering, Amelie. Only then did Amelie Quentin react, her eyes slowly focusing. The blurred face gradually became clear, the familiar appearance in her impression gradually faded, and was reced by apletely unfamiliar face. Not even a trace of the previous impression remained. They werepletely different people, even their appearances were unrted. Amelie Quentin looked at her for another two seconds before slowly releasing her hand. Daisy Zane kept watching her, and only when she was better, he asked, Had a nightmare? Amelie Quentin swallowed, not saying anything. Hugo rk called her again, Amelie. Amelie Quentin turned to look at him, and after a few seconds, a tear suddenly fell from her eyes. She hurriedly covered her face with her hand, not wanting anyone to see. Amelie Amelie Quentins throat was so dry, she couldnt speak. She could only shake her head to indicate she was okay. Hugo rk stared at her for two seconds and then reached out to embrace her. Once Amelie Quentin leaned against him, she immediately grabbed onto his waist and buried her head in his abdomen, silently shedding tears. For the first time, Hugo rk experienced the warmth of someones tears falling on his skin, the sensation hot. Daisy Zane sat in the seat, silently watching her. Arthur North also looked at her sideways, suddenly understanding why this little ancestor had made such a fuss about not going to college after high school, as if she were intentionally destroying her own future. Charlotte Lane had died saving her from drowning. At that time, Amelie Quentin was only nine years old, and everyone thought that after so many years, and because she was so young, the family had indirectly influenced her to think that the incident had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, she always seemed like she didnt care much. Even William Lane was fooled by her, thinking she didnt care much. But her reaction and concern for Charlotte Lane was no less than anyone elses. It might even have had a greater impact on her. Not studying properly might be her way of easing her own guilt, by ruining her prospects for the future. She probably felt that all the things the outstanding Charlotte Lane couldnt enjoy, she too didnt deserve to have.. Chapter 278 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau Chapter 278 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau Chapter 278: Chapter 261 Civil Affairs Bureau Trantor: 549690339 Olivia Lanes face was buried in Hugo rks chest, biting her lip stopping any sound escape, but her shoulders kept quivering slightly. Hugo rk looked down at her, his hand gently stroking her head. After a moment of watching them, Arthur North unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, then opened the rear door. Daisy Zane heard the sound of the door, her eyshes fluttered once before she hesitated and then followed him out of the car, walking forward. The pair walked into a nearby alleyway and stopped, standing shoulder to shoulder by the wall. Daisy Zane looked looking back once again before pondering, Your nephew What about him? Arthur Northughed. Daisy Zane shot him a nce,zily saying, Suddenly, I find him a bit displeasing. As she spoke, she stretched her hand into his pocket only to find it empty. Arthur Norths leg felt the warmth from her hand, and his pupils suddenly trembled, Little girl, you Where are the candies? she nced into his pocket, Didnt you bring any? Arthur North quickly came back to his senses and handed her two pieces of candy from his other pocket, Here. Daisy Zane epted them, unwrapped one and put it in her mouth. Arthur North rubbed his fingers, his movement subtle as he touched the spot on his leg which had been touched by her. Then he swallowed, turning his head and asking, How does it taste? Daisy Zane looked at the wall across from them, hearing his question but saying nothing in response nor looking at him. Instead, she just offered him another piece of candy with a casual flip of her hand. Arthur North looked at the candy in front of him but didnt take it. Seeing hisck of movement, Daisy Zane turned her head to look at him. Just as she turned her head, Arthur North leaned in and kissed her. Daisy Zane was taken aback by his sudden move. And in that very moment of surprise, her lips were pried apart The touch was soft, and her body suddenly weakened. Next, he scooped the candy from her. Daisy Zanes eyshes gave a violent flutter. Arthur North, wrapping his arms around her waist, held her close. His arms tightened around her as he kissed her for a bit longer. Finally, he let her go, looking at her and swallowing before quietly saying, It tastes sweet. But, not as sweet as you. Daisy Zane pursed her moist lips; apart from her reddened ears, she looked no different from usual. Looking at him, she said, What nonsense are you spouting? Arthur Northughed, then leaned in, giving her two more kisses on her lips, saying, Youre my girlfriend, I can kiss you whenever I want. Daisy Zane leaked augh, Is that all you want? Arthur Norths smiled stiffly. Daisy Zaneughed deeper from within her eyes, cing her hand on his shoulder, gently stroking it, Third Master What are you thinking about right now? Arthur Norths eyes darkened, seemingly wanting to eat her alive. Daisy Zane seemed to be retaliating for the candy hed taken from her before. She stood on her toes, moving closer to his ear and lightly bit on his earlobe. Arthur Norths body jolted, his breathing faltered for a moment, bing a bit heavier than before. Just as he was catching his breath, Daisy Zane pulled away from his embrace, stepping back a couple of steps. She put the candy she had clenched in her hand into her mouth, watching him with what looked like a challenge. Arthur North pressed his lips together, slowly calming his breathing and looking at the mischievous little girl in front of him. He had figured it out; until he made a serious move, she would always brazenly provoke him. After a moment, he took a step forward. Daisy Zane showed no fear, meeting his gaze, staring into his seductive and intimidating gaze. Arthur North took another step, grabbing her hand and saying, Lets go home. Tomorrow at 8 0clock, well go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Hearing his words, Daisy Zanes eyes widened little by little. Lets go. Arthur North pulled her hand, intending to leave the alley. Daisy Zane pulled back against his direction with some force. Arthur North stopped in his tracks and looked at her. The cold moonlight poured down, apanied by the night breeze. The evening was covered in ayer of chill. The two people stared at each other for a moment; Arthur North chuckled, standing in front of her, pinched her cheeks, and his voice softened, Are you scared? Daisy Zane looked at him but didnt say anything. Behave from now on. Arthur North continued, If not, whether you like it or not, Ill take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Daisy Zane stared at him for another moment, looked down andughed, You can try it. Arthur North heard the scorn in her voice, and said, Little girl, you cant beat me. Daisy Zane lifted her head and squinted at him, I will be able to eventually.. Chapter 279 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau_2 Chapter 279 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau_2 Chapter 279: Chapter 261 Civil Affairs Bureau_2 Trantor: 549690339 Arthur North raised his eyebrows and leaned down to kiss her, saying, Okay, Im ready for battle anytime. Daisy Zane once again looked away, watching Kevin rk standing outside the car in the distance for a while. Arthur North stopped talking, holding her hand and pinching her fingers. After a while, Daisys gaze gradually became unfocused, her thoughts drifting far away. Then she suddenly said, Wait until the variety show is over. Huh? Arthur didnt quite understand her sudden statement. Daisy lowered her gaze, but it didnt settle anywhere concrete, her voice still somewhat cold: Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Arthurs grip on her hand suddenly tightened, his pupils trembling violently deep inside, and he opened his mouth twice but failed to speak: Wh-what? Daisy looked up at him, only to find that the corners of his eyes had suddenly turned red. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenlyughed: Third Master you Arthur grabbed her shoulder and interrupted her for the first time: Little Girl, what did you just say? Daisy looked at him but deliberately remained silent. Arthur never expected that at this moment, this little girl would still be teasing him. He couldnt help butugh and said, The variety show will be over on the weekend. In two days, lets go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. By then, whatever happens, dont back out, got it? Daisy still didnt say anything. Do you understand? Seeing his truly anxious expression, Daisy finally spoke: Mhm. Arthur immediatelyughed, his hand trembling, holding her face, and kissed her lips several times: Little girl thank you. Daisys eyshes trembled twice, and she pursed her lips without saying a word. Arthur had never mentioned it before, and she hadnt thought about it either. But when he suddenly proposed going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, she just wanted to make this man her own, belonging only to her. No matter what happens in the future, she will be his legal wife. Even if she is gone, there will still be legal traces of her existence. There will be traces of her and him bound together. Even if it is selfish, she admits it. On this side, Arthur was dazed by the sudden surprise. On the other side, Kevin rk was still apanying Olivia Lane, stroking her head, and silentlyforting her. It took a while for Olivias tears to stop. After a while, she pulled away from Kevins embrace. Lowering her head, she sniffled. Kevin went back to the drivers seat and brought her the box of tissues. Olivia took two tissues and wiped her tears and runny nose. Lowering her head, she said with a nasal voice, Thank you, Brother Enamel. Kevin rubbed her head again, his voice unusually gentle: Had a nightmare? Mhm. Dreamed of L Campbell? Olivia Lane fell silent for a moment, then nodded her head. Kevin rk didnt know how tofort her. Ten years had passed, and Charlotte Lane had been missing for so long. Everyone knew deep inside that the hope of finding her was bing more and more slim. But nobody dared to mention it, nor did anybody dare to say it. There will be news, Kevin said. Olivia lowered her head, her hair scattered on both sides, and said nothing. Kevin tucked her hair behind her ears. If it hadnt been for tonights upheaval, no one would have known that she had been waiting for L Campbell to return. She had disguised her true feelings, acting indifferent, willful, and domineering. At that time, she was only nine years old, so little, and yet she pretended not to care about anything, just so her family wouldnt worry about her. Where are Third Uncle and Daisy Zane? Olivia Lane suddenly asked. In the alley up ahead. Oh, Olivia said, I thought Daisy Zane had left me behind and run away. Kevin rk hooked the corner of his lips and said, Are you going back to school? Mhm, Olivia said with a nasal voice, Didnt you say you want to have a good learning attitude? Thats what you said, the college entrance exam isnt until next year. Olivia pouted, feeling somewhat willful: I want to go back to school. Ask Daisy Zane for me. Okay. Kevin took out his cell phone and called Arthur North, asking them toe back. Arthur North and Daisy Zane came back quickly. Kevin rk watched his Third Uncle go to the alley ande back with an expression as if he had found a gold mine, a flicker of doubt shed in his eyes. Olivia Lane nced at the two of them and then lowered her head. Then, she hesitated and said, Third Uncle, Im sorry for causing you trouble. Arthur Norths mood was so good that even if Olivia were really causing him trouble right now, he probably wouldnt mind. But as soon as he spoke, his voice became as deep as usual, like an elder: L Campbell would also want to see her sister outstanding.. Chapter 280 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau—3 Chapter 280 - 261 Civil Affairs Bureau3 Chapter 280: Chapter 261 Civil Affairs Bureau3 Trantor: 549690339 The light in Daisy Zanes eyes flickered. The youngdy from the Lane familyseemed to be not at home. Had she disappeared? Indeed when Arthur North mentioned L Campbell, Arthurs mood showed a very subtle change. She didnt pay much attention to it at the time, but thinking about it now, it felt a bit off. Butsince she wasnt at home, why did everyone stille to the city to celebrate her birthday every year? Listening to Arthur Norths words, Olivia Lane tightened her hand resting on her leg but remained silent. Arthur North stopped there and didnt say anything else. Daisy Zane, leaning against the car, reached out, flicked her eyshes, and asked: Are you going back to school? Olivia Lane looked at her, her eyes were red from crying and a little swollen. But her gaze was very fierce: Why? Are you not going back? Upon seeing her like this, Daisy Zane deliberately didnt answer. Instantly, Olivia Lane grew even more angry, her expression fierce much: How could you be like this! You brought me out here! And now youre not going back! Were already at the school gate! Arthur North and Hugo rk both looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zaneughed and said, Lady, youre being unreasonable. I came out, and you followed. I dont care! I have to return to the dormitory, and you muste back with me. What if I dont? Daisy Zane asked. Arthur North watched her teasing the kid: Hugo rk: Calling her immature wasnt quite right since her tone, speech, and manner were all very steady and mature. However, calling her mature also wasnt suitable as she was teasing others like a child. Its not okay, you muste back with me! Olivia Lane insisted, Otherwise, Ill step on your feet Daisy Zane quickly covered her mouth: Lets go. Arthur North watched as Daisy Zane suddenly squinted her eyes. Daisy Zane deliberately avoided his gaze and did not look at him. After deciding to go back to school, the two women went to the wall. Daisy Zane nced at Arthur North and threw him two words: Lets go. Hmm, Arthur North said, Be careful. As soon as his voice fell, Daisy Zane made a quick dash, stepped on the wall, and grabbed the edge. Easily, she had climbed over the wall. The action was quick, sharp, and cool. When she reached the top of the wall, Daisy Zane turned around, crouched on the edge, and looked at Olivia Lane: Let me give you a hand. Arthur North thought the youngdy now looked like a hooligan gentleman. Olivia Lane took one look at her and, with a quick dash, easily climbed over the wall in almost the same manner as Daisy Zane. Once she was on top of the wall, she raised her eyebrow at Daisy Zane. The two men at the bottom of the wall watched this scene and didnt know what to make of it. Sending their girlfriends to the bottom of the school wall and watching them climb over Pretty impressive, Daisy Zane said. Of course. After Olivia Lane finished speaking, she turned and said,? Third Uncle, Brother Enamel, Im leaving. Hugo rk nodded, Be careful when you go down. Olivia Lane nodded, then jumped down. After Daisy Zane saw hernding safely, she looked at Arthur North and repeated, Lets go. Hmm. Arthur Norths Hmm hadnt even ended yet when Daisy Zane already jumped down. Arthur North: After Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane left, the uncle and nephew duo stayed outside the wall for a while. After a while, Arthur North said, You should talk to Roy Madison about what his little ancestor (referring to Daisy Zane) is up to when you have the time. I know. Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane returned to their dormitory through the side door. By the time they got back, it was almost four oclock, and everyone in the dormitory was still sleeping. The two of them took off their coats, quietly climbed into bed. Shortly after, their breathing became steady as they fell asleep. Around five-thirty in the morning, the sky outside was grey. Daisy Zaney in bed, hearing the noise of hand washing at the area dedicated for grooming. At first, it sounded like just one or two people were washing their hands. Gradually, more and more people seemed to being. Daisy Zane closed her eyes, her sleep was extremely light, silently listening ton these sounds. Gradually, the sound of the flowing water seemed to be magnified. The sound of the water flowing from the faucet gradually became louder and louder, like the sound of waves being swept up by the wind. Daisy Zane slowly fell into a dream. She found herself in the middle of a vast prairie, surrounded by thick smoke, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like she was engulfed in the fog. She stood there, unable to distinguish the direction, unable to determine her position. The thick smoke seemed to iste something from her, preventing her from seeing the truth behind the smoke. She picked a direction at random and walked slowly. But as she walked, the ground cracked open, and she suddenly found herself standing on a cliff. Below was the sound of roaring seawater, and on the cliff ridge, after she nced at the sea, the atmosphere suddenly became filled with gunpowder, swordfish infestation, and chaos. Destroyed vehicles, people falling on the ground with unrecognizable faces, various weapons. She looked at everything before her; her heartbeat gradually quickened, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. Suddenly there was a roar, and a motorcycle sprang out in front of her, hitting her. She couldnt dodge it in time and was knocked off the cliff by the motorcycle, falling into the sea. The moment she was falling, she heard someone shouting from the shore: Sister Then she plunged into the sea, her body soaked by seawater, her ears filled with water, and she inhaled water through her nostrils Her breathing became more and more difficult, and the air in her lungs was gradually sucked out Just when she felt she was about to suffocate, a harsh ringing sound suddenly exploded beside her ear. Chapter 281 - 262: The Power of Sister Xi Chapter 281 - 262: The Power of Sister Xi Chapter 281: Chapter 262: The Power of Sister Xi Trantor: 549690339 The ringtone was extremely harsh, like a broken, rusty horn rubbing and tearing at the ears, making peoples scalp tingle. The ringing got louder and louder near the ear, and Daisy Zane, who was lying on her side in bed, suddenly opened her eyes. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with a cold chill. Her forehead and neck were covered in sweat beads. Her heartbeat was fast, and her breathing was a bit rapid. She opened her eyes, stared at the wall for a while, then slowly adjusted her breathing while thinking about the scene in her dream. After a moment, she gently frowned and raised her hand to press her temples, somewhat unable to recall what she had dreamt about. The ringing stopped, and the song yed louder. There were sounds of getting up and turning over in the dormitory. Daisy Zaney still for a while, rubbed her aching head, and sat up. Olivia Lane on the opposite bed was still asleep, probably because the wake-up bell was too loud, so she was curled up under the quilt. The other two ssmates were already up and sitting on the bed changing clothes. Celeste Martin and Serena Buster on this side hadnt gotten up, but Celeste had already opened her eyes and was lying in bed. Daisy couldnt see if Serena was awake because she was a bit far away. But it was Serena who made the first sound: Ahwhy so early? Im not even fully awake yet. One of the students replied: Some people are already sitting in their ss. Ahsenior three is really hard. Daisy Zane took off her half-sleeved pajamas and casually wiped the sweat on her neck, saying, Dont worry about us, you should go to ss in the morning. Dont dy your time because of us. Having just woken up, her voice was cold with a hint of hoarseness. Hearing her speak, several people looked at her. Now, Daisy was wearing a thin spaghetti strap vest with her back to everyone. Lying down Celeste, Serena who had just sat up, and two students folding their quilts, all saw the tattoo on her left shoulder. A tattoo as big as an adults palm, a red crown with unknown totem on top, solemn and mysterious. It was enchanting like fire on her fair skin. All four of them stared at her, taken aback. Only the four of them did not see the other tattoo on her left arm. Because of her sweating and the heat of her body, it emerged ipletely and was not very clear. The cinnabar red tattoo, an outer circle, and what seemed like some letters inside. But it was not entirely revealed, so the specific letters could not be discerned. The four of them stared at the tattoo for a while, none of them asked, and went back to their own business. Daisy wiped her sweat, nced at her arm and saw the tattoo revealed, took the school uniform jacket hanging beside the bed and put it on her body. Then she folded the quilt, got out of bed, and went to wash and rinse with her toiletries. She finished washing quickly, and when she returned, no one else in the dormitory hade back yet. Olivia Lane was still sleeping in bed. Daisy cleaned up her stuff and got dressed. Then she went up the small staircase beside Olivia Lanes bed, sat on the stairs, and pulled the quilt down, revealing her head. Miss, are you getting up or not? Daisy looked at her and said, Its already six forty-five. Olivia curled up her body, her hair stuck to her face, and her eyes were still swollen from cryingst night. Because she heard her speak, Olivia tried to cover her head with the quilt. But Daisy grabbed her wrist andughed, Its time to get up. Olivia frowned, shook off her hand, hugged the quilt and said, Im not going, ask for a leave for me. Are you sure youre not going? Im too sleepy. Olivia rubbed her head against the quilt again, Im not going. Just tell the teacher I have my period, and I have a stomachache. Alright. Daisy moved the hair from her face and hesitated for a moment before she couldnt help but poke her face, Should I ask for half a day or a whole day? Half day. Olivias voice grew faint, Aunt Cruz will bring my lunch at noon, so I have to go out. Otherwise, my brother will find out I missed ss again. Daisyughed: What about breakfast? Olivia waited quietly for a while, then touched her cell phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and handed it to Daisy, Send a message to Aunt Cruz saying Im having breakfast with my ssmates, so she doesnt have to bring it. Daisy took the phone and found Aunt Cruz..

I cant keep my eyes open. As soon as she finished speaking, Daisy Zane heard the steady sound of breathing. She had fallen asleep Daisy Zane nced at her, opened the chat, scrolled through the messages, and sent a message imitating her tone. A voice message quickly responded from the other side. Without listening, Daisy Zane put her cell phone on her bed, touched her face again, then went down the stairs, sat at the desk, and waited for the others to leave together. The English teacher was in charge of todays morning self-study, and she was the homeroom teacher of the neighboring 15th ss. By the time the three of them arrived at their ss, almost everyone had already arrived. The teacher came early, too. Some people had even arrived more than half an hour earlier. Some were memorizing words, and some were writing English papers. When Daisy Zane took her seat, the bell for morning self-study rang. She put a ss she had brought from the dormitory on her desk and nced at the empty seat in front of her William Butch hadnte. She didnt care too much and flipped through the extra new papers on her desk, picked an English paper, and started writing with a pen. Daisy Zane wrote two papers within the forty-minute morning self-study. After ss, it was time to eat. She hadnt nned to eat at first, but then remembered she still had to take her medicine, so she took her ss and went to the cafeteria with the others. It was crowded in the early morning cafeteria, as everyone was in a rush due to the short time. After eating, Daisy Zane threw the medicine packet into the ss, fetched a cup of hot water, and soaked the medicine in it. As soon as the herbal medicine touched the hot water, a slightly bitter scent emerged. Serena Buster, who was sitting nearby, smelled it and turned her head to look at Daisys ss, saying, Its really medicine. Mm. Whats wrong with you? Serena Buster asked. Marsh Turner immediately looked over and asked, Daisy, are you feeling unwell? Daisy Zane nced at him, No, its for regting my body. Oh. Gil Turner didnt ask further, but after a while, he asked, Are we going back? You guys go first. Daisy Zane held the ss, Ill go back after I finish. Isnt it the same if you drink it back in the ss? Serena Buster said. The taste is too strong, said Daisy Zane. Its okay; we can just open a window, said a male student. George Dunn looked at Daisy Zane and said, You guys go first, well sit here for a while and chat about some things. Alright, Marsh Turner stood up, Well go first. As the number of people in the cafeteria decreased, Daisy Zane and George Dunn sat opposite each other. Not until the bell rang for ss, the cafeteria was emptied of students. George Dunn asked the videographers to eat at the cafeteria first and not film them before asking, Brook God, is the script ready? Can we join in after this variety show is over? Not yet, Daisy Zane replied, Ive written several versions but Im not very satisfied. Do you need me to help take a look and provide some suggestions for revision? Daisy Zane looked at him and lowered her gaze without speaking. Although she didnt speak, George Dunn saw the contempt in her eyes, Come on, havent we also cooperated for so many years? Dont we have a tacit understanding in providing revision suggestions? Daisy Zane blew on the hot steam from the ss, Compared to you, I trust Morris more. George Dunn: They chatted casually for a bit, and when Daisy Zane finished drinking her medicine, the two of them went back to the ssroom together. The ssroom was on the third floor, with long corridors and ten sses on each floor. The staircases were on both sides of the corridor, with restrooms on each side as well. Daisy Zane and George Dunn came up from the staircase closer to the 16th ss. As soon as they reached the third floor, they heard amotioning from the nearby restroom. First, there was the sound of something like stic material falling on the ground, followed by a very faint muffled noise. Daisy Zane and George Dunn stopped simultaneously and 1001Qd m tne direction of the restroom. While they were still wondering what had made the noise, a distinct p sound reached their ears. Then there were low voices cursing. From the sound of it, several male students were talking. Little bitch, didnt I tell you, dont let me see you in the mens restroom again? How the fuck did you get in here again? Are you asking for a beating? Crying, crying, crying, all you do is cry like a little bitch. Werent you fond of carrying a pink backpack? Why arent you carrying it now? A man who actually likes pink, why dont you wear a skirt, too? Hahahaha.. Chapter 283 - 262: The Power of X Sister – 3 Chapter 283 - 262: The Power of X Sister C 3 Chapter 283: Chapter 262: The Power of X Sister C 3 Trantor: 549690339 Arent you good at studying? A genius? You are the grade topper even though you are younger than us, arent you? Howe youre not anymore? Let me think, let me think about how many points you got at the end of the semester. It should be more than a thousand, right? You stille to school and want to study like this? Whats the use? With these useless grades, you cant even get into a university. Let me give you some advice. Go be a little escort, apany a few rich people. Make more money while youre young. Otherwise, when you get old, no one will want you. Hahaha After the voice, there are a few ps. The restrooms soundproofing is good, and after closing the door, the sound inside is very small. The iing 16th ss, separated by adies restroom and a small storage room, cant hear any sound from this side. Daisy Zane and George Dunn just happened to be walking by and heard it because they were close. Listening to it, Georges brows furrowed deeper, and he was about to take action when he heard Daisy give a light sigh and walked in front of the mens restroom door. She kicked the restroom door open with one foot. With a crash, the door was kicked open, hit the wall on one side, and bounced back. Daisy propped it up with her foot and looked at the several men in the restroom. The cameraman who had been following the two of them saw this and was about to turn off the camera, but George stopped him. Let them keep shooting. He walked to Daisys rear side. In the restroom, six boys were huddled around, all startled and scared, looking apprehensively at the entrance. Daisy was dressed neatly in a school uniform, with her hands in her trouser pockets, standing straight, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, with beautiful phoenix eyes that tilted up slightly at the corners. The calm and cold gaze in her eyes was like a piercing knife in the restroom. Her eyes swept over the few of them, then she looked at the person lying on the floor, curled up, and covering his head. His entire figure was hidden, his face nowhere in sight, and there were a few shoe prints on his school uniform. Even after hearing the sound of the door being kicked, he didnt even look outward. George entered the restroom and helped the boy up first: Are you okay? The boy kept his head down, shook his head, and broke free from Georges grip on his arm. Daisy nced at the boy again, and although he kept his head down and his hair obscured his eyes, she recognized him C it was William Butch, who sat in front of her in ss. Several boys in the restroom looked at Daisy, George, and the camera behind them. After a pause, the six of them reacted. What are you doing? This is the mens restroom. One of them said. Is it? Daisy said carelessly, looking at them coldly and chillingly, I thought those who engage in school bullying andck thought are no different from animals and can defecate anywhere. Daisy was already very polite, not cursing them as beasts out of the consideration that they were all students. Dont think just because youre a celebrity and have a camera with you that wed be afraid of you, another one said, We can make this footage disappear if we dont want it. Then make one disappear for me, Daisy said. You The boy wanted to speak, but two others pulled him back. Telling him to let it go for now and wait until they were finished recording before speaking. After persuading him, a few boys wanted to leave, but Daisy blocked the doorway without moving. At this moment, the 16th ss homeroom teacher, and a few other boys came. Being closest to the 16th ss, they could clearly hear the sound of Daisy kicking the door. At first, they didnt know what had happened until a curious boy peeked out from the back door and saw Daisy and George standing at the entrance to the mens restroom. So he hurried to notify the teacher. Skyler Thomas came quickly with Marsh Turner and a few boys, asking, Whats going on? Whats happened? Hearing her voice, Daisy nced at her from the side. With just that nce, it was enough to make ones heart race. As a teacher, Skyler had studied some psychology and was able to sense the intense emotions from Daisys gaze. It was a feeling that she had never seen in the people she had met before and was not present in the people at the scene. As if this person had been shattered and reassembled, experiencing a great ordeal, and polishing her heart to be unbreakable. After giving Skyler a nce, Daisy gestured into the restroom, whispering, Bullying our ssmates. Skyler stood at the door, looked at the few boys, and then at William Butch standing beside George, her expression immediately bing stern, Which ss are you guys from? Follow me to the principals office. Hearing Skylers words, the boys didnt care and even felt disdainful. But Marsh squeezed in beside Daisy and asked, Daisy, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere? Daisy looked at him and shook her head. George looked at Marsh and shook his head, thinking, Young man, you dont know anything about your Daisys strength. Your Daisy broke the door lock with just one kick. With that thought, George looked at the lock on the door. It had fallen to the ground in two halves, with a small part still dangling on the door. The six boys wilted upon seeing Marsh appear, although he didnt look at them or speak to them. Like flowers and nts withering in the hot sun.. Chapter 284: 263: Compensation for the Door Chapter 284: 263: Compensation for the Door
Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane looked at the few wilted men in the restroom, and then nced at Marsh Turner. It seemed that this kid not only has a good family background, but its also quite intimidating, enough to make them scared like this.
Marsh Marsh Brother? one of the boys said. Marsh Turner looked at them, his usually smiling eyes suddenly turning cold: Bullying people, and now youve reached me. Brother Marsh, its a misunderstanding. You beat someone like this and you call it a misunderstanding. Marsh Turner looked at them and said, So if I cripple you now, can I also say its a misunderstanding? Enough. Skyler Thomas said, You all go back to ss, Ill handle this matter. Marsh Turners gaze moved away from them and looked at Skyler Thomas, his voice slightly softened: Teacher, its your ss. Without you, how are we going to attend? Skyler Thomas: Ill stay with you. Marsh Turner said. Skyler Thomas almost believed he was making sense, but he reacted in time: Go away, you just dont want to attend ss. Go to the office, get the papers from my desk, and distribute them to everyone toplete. Marsh Turner:
Move! Skyler Thomas said, Ill take William Butch and the others to see the principal. Tea Teacher. William Butch suddenly lowered his head and said, I Im fine. Lets just forget it. Daisy Zane looked at him. She saw him lower his head, his pale lips trembling slightly, his hands hanging by his side tightly clenched together, visibly shaking if you looked closely. Marsh Turner slightly furrowed his brows as well. This is school, and when something like this happens in school, its not up to you to say forget it. Skyler Thomas said. William Butch pursed his lips and whispered, Teacher, they didnt hit me, I identally fell just now, it has nothing to do with them. Upon hearing his words, the six students suddenly looked smug. One of the boys said, Yeah, we didnt hit him, we just saw him fall and wanted to help him. Another boy reacted and said, Yeah, you guys were carrying the equipment, did you see us hit him? Did you film it? When Daisy Zane kicked the door, there were two cameramen behind George Dunn and one in front of Daisy Zane. She kicked the door suddenly and everyone couldnt react in time. Indeed, they didnt film the situation inside the restroom right away. They only captured a glimpse of the scene with the several students surrounding William Butch.
And William Butch also said that we didnt hit him. Another boy said, You guys dont nder us, we were just trying to help him. Isnt that right, William? William Butch clenched his hands and, after a moment, nodded slightly. Daisy Zane watched as he finished nodding and buried his head even lower. You Marsh Turner was infuriated by his cowardice and wanted to walk up to him for some education. However, Daisy Zane stopped him with her hand. Marsh Turner stopped in his tracks: Daisy? Instead of looking at him, Daisy Zane looked at Skyler Thomas and said, Teacher, lets go back to ss. Skyler paused for a moment, then realized: Alright, since its like this, everyone disperse. One of the boys leading the groupughed, nced at William Butch, and then looked at Daisy Zane before swaggering out of the restroom. If it wasnt for Marsh Turner standing next to Daisy Zane, they might have bumped into her when they walked out.
Daisy Zane watched them leave the restroom from the corner of her eye. Starting from the third boy, when they walked beside Marsh Turner, they would call out to him: Brother Marsh. One even said, Brother Marsh, Im leaving. Marsh Turner didnt bother looking at them and just replied, Hurry up and get lost. When they had all finally left, Skyler Thomas looked at Daisy Zane again, then took William Butch with him: Lets go, youe with me to the office to clean up your clothes first. William Butchs lips moved, and as he followed Skyler Thomas out. When he reached Daisy Zanes side, he paused for a moment. Then, with his head lowered, he whispered, Thank you. After saying that, he quickly caught up with Skyler Thomas and left. As Daisy Zane and the others walked back, the cameraman said, Teacher Zane, our equipment has built-in audio recording capabilities, and the sound pickup function of your and Best Actor Dunns mics is also good. We were close just now, so we should have picked up some of the conversations inside. Daisy Zane nodded and said, If needed, Ill contact you. Alright. After the two of them finished talking, Marsh Turner finally asked, Daisy, why did you stop me just now? Chapter 285: 263: Compensation for the Door_2 Chapter 285: 263: Compensation for the Door_2
Trantor: 549690339 Even if we help Arthur North today and vent his anger, once we leave, he will still get beaten up anyway. Perhaps even more severely, Daisy Zane says, with her hand in her trouser pocket. If he cant learn to fight back, any help from others will be futile. Hmm, Marsh Turner understands, but feels the problem has be more difficult. Indeed, nobody can follow him 24/7. But do you think he looks like someone who would fight back?
Daisy Zane says nothing. The more honest and submissive he is, the more he will be bullied. Marsh Turner clicks his tongue again. The faces of those six guys just now pissed me off. Daisy Zane nces at him, noticing his youthful exuberance. Next time I see them, Ill teach them a lesson, Marsh Turner mutters to himself. Be careful that your dad doesnt find out and beat you up, George Dunn says. As long as he doesnt find out, itll be fine, Marsh Turner mumbles in response. Daisy Zane chuckles, Go get the test papers. Teacher Little Geng asked you to get them. Almost forgot. Marsh Turner ps his forehead, Daisy, Ill go first. Daisy Zane and George Dunn watch Marsh Turner run forward. After a while, he even jumps up and touches a slogan on the corridor wall. Children of this age are at their best. They are carefree, bright, asionally naughty and mischievous, but always kind-hearted, full of justice, free of worries, and have boundless futures. Daisy Zane walks slowly and watches Marsh Turners figure until he disappears.
Brook God, how do you n to deal with this? George Dunn asks. Daisy Zane withdraws her gaze, takes out her cell phone, and sends a message with her head down, I have no ns. Its up to Arthur North. With these kinds of problems, even if she finds a way to discipline those six boys, what about the future? If Arthur North doesnt grow stronger, there will always be people who bully himter on. Daisy Zane arrives at the back entrance of the 16th ss, puts away her cell phone after sending the message, and enters. Meanwhile, Kevin rk, who is busy with work today and doesnt have time to watch the camera footage, receives a message shortly after Daisy Zane sends it. He takes a look at his cell phone while busy dealing with the Easton Groups matters. He then sees a message from someone marked Little Wildcat: [broke a school door, pay for it.] Kevin rk stares at the message for a moment and then bursts intoughter. Michael Jackson, Juan Wright, and nearly ten other employees suddenly hearughter and look up at him. Everyones face is full of confusion. Even shock.
Third Master rk usually smiles but that kind of smile is more out of politeness, etiquette, and respect for others. So even when heughs, he is still quite imposing. No one has ever seen a smile like this other than Michael Jackson and Juan Wright. Instead of beingforted by Third Masters gentleughter, everyone feels as if something unclean has entered the office and taken control of Third Master. Or they think they must have been too busytely, causing hallucinations in their eyes and ears. In the school, the morning sses consist of writing exams and going over them. Its Daisy Zanes first day of school, and she hasnt gotten over the novelty of it yet. As for the other seven participants of the variety show, after a morning full of lessons, they gather in the cafeteria and are all exhausted. Firstly, theyck the energy and spirit that current students possess; secondly, they have already experienced Senior Three once and now really dont want to revisit the past,cking the same determination as before, which only brings tiredness. Moreover, ording to them, the more time passes, the more boring and harder it bes. What they see and experience now is just the tip of the iceberg.
After lunch, Daisy Zane returns to the ssroom with her ssmates. She sits in her seat and looks at the seat in front of her. Arthur North has not returned all morning, and Skyler Thomas checked the ssroom during the long break but didnte back again afterwards. Turner Daniels sits in front, staring nkly for a while before grabbing a test paper and burying his head in it. Seeing him writing the exam, Daisy Zane nces at her own desk, takes out her cell phone, and checks if there are any important matters to deal with. One year ago, when she nned to go to Truro City, she had already arranged all matters rted to various continents well in advance. There are people guarding every ce. They can handle things unless there are major events that need to be discussed or require her intervention. In general, most messages they send are casual chats.. Chapter 286: 263: Compensation for the Door—3 Chapter 286: 263: Compensation for the Door3
Trantor: 549690339 Whenever she was idly chatting, Daisy Zane was pretty casual. Replying whenever she felt like it and leaving messages read without replying if she didnt.
Today was no exception, only Holt Lawrence was trying to reach her for various reasons to meet up. [Nana, the biennial selection for Celestial Pivot is about to start, do you want to make the questions?] Daisy Zane leaned back in her chair, wearing a Bluetooth headset. Her hand holding the cell phone resting on her leg, lowered her head, and tapped the reply to Holt Lawrence: [Let me make the questions, you mean no one wants to participate this year?] Holt Lawrence: [Can you be a bit humble?] [Why should I be humble?] [Fine, fine, you have the right to be proud. The quality of thepetitors chosen in the year beforest was too low, I want to raise the difficulty of the selection this year.] Daisy Zane understood. It wasnt that he desperately needed her toe up with the questions; he needed the reputation of Nathan Ninevara behind the questions. That way, many people would participate, and the quality of the participants would be better from the start of registration. [How many questions, and what difficulty?] Daisy Zane replied. [Three. You choose the difficulty. Its just for your namesake anyway, it wont be the sole assessment standard.] Daisy Zane: .
Just as Daisy Zane was about to reply, Turner Daniel suddenly turned his head. So, she looked up at him. Turner Daniel held a pen in his right hand and a test paper in his left. When their eyes met, he hesitated for a moment. No matter how many times he saw her face, each time he did, it was still captivating. How could someone be so beautiful. Especially those eyes, deep and tranquil like an ancient well, devoid of any emotion, it was even impossible to see any feelings hidden within. But they were incredibly alluring all the same. Seeing him spaced out, Daisy Zane asked, Whats up? Ah. Turner Daniel came back to his senses and said, I wanted to ask about a question. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow, thinking high school questions could still stump him. Whats the question. Jessica Maxwell suddenly sat down in Charlotte Lanes seat, Does the divine child Turner have a question he cant answer? Daisy Zane turned off her phone screen and nced at her.
Turner Daniel also looked at her and gave a slight smile, Im not that much of a god, of course there are things I dont know. Celeste Martin also came over, standing next to the table, and smiled at them. Jessica Maxwell looked at the test paper in his hand and smiled, I just finished this set of papers. I know all the questions. Let me exin it to you. After all Sister Lucia hasnt been to school, lets not embarrass her. As she spoke, Turner Daniels face visibly stiffened for a moment. He nced awkwardly at Daisy Zane, seeing her expression unchanged, with no reaction, before he let out a slight sigh of relief. Yet, Jessica Maxwell seemed as if she didnt say anything inappropriate, and continued, Celeste is also amazing, she still remembers her high school knowledge. Im sure she knows all this too. Celeste Martin smiled and said, I guess so. This set of papers was rtively easy for me. After saying that, she patted Turner Daniels shoulder yfully, If we know this, how could you not know? Dont tarnish your divine child title here. Turner Daniel gave a weak smile, thinking that both of these women were not easy to deal with. And Jessica Maxwell said, Is it possible that this is deliberately arranged by the director to give Sister Lucia some screen time?
Daisy Zane leaned back in her chair, calmly watching Jessica Maxwell, quietly and serenely, as if watching a spectacle, waiting to see what other tricks she coulde up with. Turner Daniel couldnt stand it any longer, he ced the test paper directly between Daisy Zane and Jessica Maxwell, pointing to thest question and said, When I saw this question, I suddenly remembered a difficult calculus problem from university. I spent a long time on it back then and never solved it. Later, our professor exined it to me, but now when I suddenly think of it, I dont understand it anymore. Daisy Zane, Celeste Martin, and Jessica Maxwell all looked at the test paper. Thest question had two parts. Turner Daniel scribbled a bit on the sides of the two questions, then directly wrote the answers after the questions. Then, in the nk space below, he wrote a new question. The Chinese characters Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell could recognize, but they had never seen those numbers and symbols that followed. The two exchanged nces, unable to speak. He wrote that question, and they wondered what connection it had with the questions on their test papers that made him think of this question. Turner Daniel also didnt look at them, and took a piece of A4 paper from his desk, ced it next to Daisy Zane, and said, This is the working I just did, the result came out, but its tooplicated. I remember our professor exined it very simply. Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell looked at that piece of paper, filled with dense writing on both front and back. And they thought he was not writing about math, but English. Symbols and letters covered the entire paper. The four of them fell silent for a moment, then Jessica Maxwell spoke sarcastically, Can she understand it? Turner Daniel frowned slightly, while Daisy Zane picked up the pen on her table, and directly wrote down a mathematical method on the test paper followed by three forms. Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell still couldnt understand it. However, Turner Daniel widened his eyes, looked at the mathematical method, then looked at Daisy Zane. His face showed a sudden understanding after his initial shock. Is the professor Edbert Shire? Daisy Zane asked. No. Turner Daniel said, Do you know her? I dont. Daisy Zane replied, Ive read her published thesis, and this mathematical method was developed by her. Yeah. Turner Daniel stared nkly at Daisy Zane, with little stars of admiration in his eyes if you looked closely, Shes my mother. Daisy Zane: . So its a family of super schrs. Turner Daniel looked back at the test paper, If we use this method its even simpler than what the professor exined. You havent read your mothers research results? Daisy Zane asked. I just have a general understanding. Turner Daniel replied, I didnt know it could be applied so broadly. Heres a suggestion for you. Daisy Zane said. What? Bribe the program team to delete this part, or else Im afraid you wont be able to go home. Daisy Zane said quietly.. Chapter 287: 264: Eating Too Much Can Cause Allergies Chapter 287: 264: Eating Too Much Can Cause Allergies
Trantor: 549690339 Society is advocating for gender equality every day, but theres a gap between words and reality. Gender discrimination still exists in many industries.
People tend to have inherent thoughts, believing that certain industries should be dominated by men while others should be for women. For example, in fields like mathematics and physics, there is amon belief that women are not as good as men, and their involvement only causes chaos. In some industries, as soon as a woman seeds, peoples thoughts turn to evil. Instead of recognizing her talent and hard work, they maliciously im that she has indulged in dirty tactics to rise to the top. Edbert Shires research in mathematics is undoubtedly a p in the face of those who discriminate against her. As a woman, she never missed any opportunities like marriage or childbirth. However, she still became one of the brightest stars in her field and reached the peak. She broke the industrys discrimination against women and against women who get married and have children. Therefore, Daisy Zane admires Edbert Shire and pays attention to her as well. Its fine. Turner Daniel said, My mom wont mind. She said that a fool like me is not qualified to understand her research. Daisy Zane lightly lifted her mouth into a smile, then picked up her pen and wrote a few steps on the test paper: Your professor must have used this method. Turner Daniel watched her write the steps and listened to her speak. He paused before saying, Ah, right, its this one. Sister Lucia, howe you know everything?
Daisy Zane put down the pen and said faintly: A little bit of knowledge. The words a little bit made Turner Daniel twitch his mouth. If this was just a little bit, he must be worthless then. Celeste Martin and Jessica Maxwell stood and sat on the side, left out, and ignored. Jessica Maxwells face was livid with embarrassment and anger, suffocated as she watched the two converse. While Celeste Martin watched the two impassively, she was sure the Director Group had arranged a script for Daisy Zane. Just then, the chair where Jessica Maxwell was sitting was kicked lightly, causing her to feel the vibration. She looked up and saw Olivia Lane standing beside her, carrying a delicate food box in her hand, looking at her coldly, and said, Dont you have your own seat? Hearing her voice, Daisy Zane immediately looked at her. Jessica Maxwell looked at her and said, Is it wrong to sit for a while? No. Olivia Lane nced down at her.
Is this your home? Cant even sit for a while. Jessica Maxwell spoke up, but she was still somewhat afraid of Olivia Lane, so she stood up and let her have the seat. Olivia Lane said indifferently, It could be my home. Regarding a single private school, it wouldnt be a big issue for her older brother. Jessica Maxwell scoffed at her words, Who do you think you are? Just because yourst name is Lane, do you think youre part of the Imperial Capital Lane Family? Brazen. Do you really think youre a princess? Olivia Lane nced at her but remained silent, taking the seat. At this opportune moment, Celeste Martin quickly took the chance to return to her own seat under the pretext offorting Jessica Maxwell. As for the Imperial City Lane Family, besides knowing about William Lane, the young master, very few people knew that the Lane family also had two daughters. Only a very small number of people knew that the Lane family had two daughters, but no one had ever seen them, as they were well protected by the Lane family. Only Marsh Turner in the ss knew, but he had left after lunch and wasnt in the ssroom. Daisy Zane watched Olivia Lane put the food box on the table and said, Did you sleep well?
Yes. Olivia Lane rubbed her eyes and said, I forgot about cleaning today. I was forced to get up at past 9 0clock by the dormitory supervisor and lost five points for my life score. Then where did you go? I went to the dance ssroom in the art building and took a nap. After Olivia Lane finished speaking, she looked at Turner Daniel, who was bowing his head to write questions on her desk, feeling as if he couldnt hear anyone elses conversation. She ignored him, opened the food box and pushed it over to Daisy Zane while asking, Want to eat? Daisy Zane took a look: Cloud cake? Hmm. Olivia Lane handed her a piece, Our maid made it at home. It tastes different than the ones we buy from outside. The maid at home should have wrapped each piece in transparent thin paper for her convenience. Daisy Zane looked at the cloud cake, took a bite. Indeed, it tasted different from the ones outside, it must have been made ording to Olivia Lanes taste by the maid at home. Olivia Lane handed two more pieces to Turner Daniel, Turner Daniel thanked her, then started working on problems again. Olivia Lane felt that he was very much like a nerd in her ss when she was in Senior Threest year. Only studying, only focusing on problems, nothing else. Olivia Lane didnt bother about him and turned to Daisy Zane, How does it taste? Hmm. Olivia Lane caught a glimpse of her finishing it and pushed the food box towards her again. Daisy Zane looked at her little movement, and smiled, No more, Im allergic to olives, eating too much will cause me a rash. Olivia Lane suddenly turned her head to look at her. Daisy Zane didnt expect her reaction to be so big: Whats the matter? Allergic? Rash? Olivia Lane stared at her nkly. Daisy Zane nodded. Then why are you still eating. Its fine if I eat just a little. Olivia Lane slowly clenched her hands, staring at her, and once again seemed a little lost. Daisy Zane felt something was off with her, just about to speak, Olivia Lanes cell phone suddenly vibrated. Olivia Lane came to her senses, nced at her cell phone, and saw a call from William Lane. It must be because the dormitory supervisor reported her this morning. Olivia Lanes face showed a moment of speechlessness, then she picked up her phone and went out. Daisy Zane looked at her back, feeling that the little miss reaction was not quite right, but since she was making a phone call, it was not appropriate to follow her, so she didnt move. After Olivia Lane answered the phone, she went up to the rooftop of the building. Brother, what happened? Olivia Lane answered the phone cheerfully. You tell me what happened? William Lane spoke softly, What were you doing this morning? Why didnt you go to ss? I didnt sleep wellst night. So, I just slept a little longer. Why didnt you sleep wellst night? Last night Last night Olivia Lane said, Arthur Norths girlfriend insisted on ying with me. Olivia Lanes appearance on the variety show had been approved by William Lane, otherwise, her dormitory switch would not have gone smoothly. Olivia, be polite. Oh, alright. Olivia Lane said, Third Uncles girlfriend insisted on ying with me. Really? Yeah. Olivia Lane went to the roof, raised her hand to block the sunlight, If you dont believe me, you cane back and ask her personally. William Laneughed, Dont bully people. She is Arthurs girlfriend and will be your Third Aunt in the future. Take care of her. Shes already twenty-six, and she doesnt need me to take care of her. Olivia Lane mumbled. Be good. William Lane spoke softly, You study well and be obedient. Dont sneak out of school by yourself; its not safe without someone following you. I know, brother. Olivia Lane dragged her voice.. Chapter 288: 265: Ensuring Her Safety Chapter 288: 265: Ensuring Her Safety
Trantor: 549690339 The noon sun was somewhat harsh, with little to offer shade on the rooftop. After ending her phone call, Amelie Quentin stood on the rooftop, her skin reflecting the sunlight.
She stood facing the sun, her eyes downcast, a small shadow formed by her eyshes at the base of her eyes. The coquettish demeanor she had disyed just moments ago with Roy Madison had disappeared. Her pink lips were slightly pursed, her expression indescribably mncholic. Her sister was also allergic to olives and would develop a rash. She too had said that eating just a bit wasnt a problem. Back when she was five years old, in kindergarten, the teacher gave her three pieces of cloud cake. Thinking it was delicious, she saved two for her sister. After returning home, she eagerly waited for her sister. When her sister came home from school, she presented her with the two pieces of cloud cake like they were treasure. She informed her sister that she had saved them specially for her. Not wanting to disappoint her, even though her sister knew she was allergic to olives, she still ate one piece and left one for Amelie Quentin. As a result, she broke out in a rash that same evening. That night, no one in the family slept. Her older brother, parents, grandfather, everyone stayed up looking after her sister. Only when the rash that had covered her sisters body subsided did they all breathe a sigh of relief. Although no one med her, everyone tried tofort her in the midst of their worry.
Despite this, she continued to cry. Her sistery in bed, receiving an IV drip, while holding her hand, reassuring her it was okay, that eating just a bit wouldnt hurt. Recalling this, Amelie Quentin checked the time, descended from the rooftop, and headed straight to the medical office. rk Manor After finishing his work, Harton rk, thinking of Charles Amos who was still at the rk Manor, decided to return home first. Upon arriving, he saw Charles was holding up both his little hands, helping his mother with her knitting. Mom, its only September, why are you knitting again? Tom Wayne nced at him, So many flowers and nts, dont they need new clothes for the New Year? Every year, Tom Wayne knitted covers for the various vases in their home. Uncle rk. Charles called his name, Harton rk lightly tousled his hair, then sat down, Where is my father?
Hes talking with your brother in the backyard. Tom Wayne said, Why are you home at this hour? Is something wrong? Yeah, Harton rk looked at Charles, I need to discuss something with Charles. Charles looked at him. Tom Wayne also nced at him. From just that one nce, Tom Wayne understood Harton rks intent. Harton rk drew Charles away with him. The two of them walked side by side in silence, taking a seemingly random path. One big, one small C they walked side by side in silence, neither of them speaking. Harton rk deliberately slowed his pace, one hand behind his back. He was like a bamboo, standing tall and firm. Little Charles was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, toddling along beside him with hair loose, resembling a mixed-race little prince. The pair walked a distance in silence before stopping beside a bamboo forest. Both of them stood in the shade of the bamboo, facing each other.
Lowering his head, Harton rk asked directly, Charles, is it okay if your mother and I get married? Charles, looking up at him, asked after a moment, Did she agree? Yes. Then I have no objections, Charles said, I like you quite a bit too, more than those other men who are interested in my mom. Harton rk raised an eyebrow, Other men who are interested? Yes. Little Charles crossed his arms in a proud manner, Shes so beautiful, so outstanding. There are so many people who like her. Harton rk: But she treats you differently than she does others. Charles said, I cant really say how its different, but it is. Grandpa Edwards said its because she likes you. Hearing this, Harton rk felt somewhat relieved. Are you guys getting a marriage certificate? When? Charles asked. In about two weeks, shes currently recording a show. Thats fast, Charles mumbled. Does it feel quick? Kevin rk doesnt think so at all; he even feels like time has suddenly slowed down and almoste to a standstill. Charles Amos was silent for a moment, then sped the sleeve of Kevin rks shirt, looking up at him. Are you and my mommy going to have a baby? A fleeting tremor ran through the depths of Kevin rks eyes. He squatted down to meet Charles gaze. If you dont like it, we dont have to. I dont dislike it, Charles Amos looked down, gripping his sleeve. If you do have a baby, you must ensure its safety. My mom passed away giving birth to me because she had difficulty in delivery. Kevin rk assumed Charles was worried about losing his affection, but it turned out he was concerned about the safety of the possible new baby. And Charles mothers surname was Kirsten The surname Kirsten wasnt unusual. Many people around Edward Kirsten had the same surname, it was probably given to those under his patronage. Like Uncle Edwards, who also had the surname Kirsten. Yet, Charles Amos mother must have had a blood rtion with Edward Kirsten. That was probably why the little girl had been resistant, even repulsed by some of the genes Charles carried. All these thoughts shed through Kevin rks mind, then he smiled and said, Having a child is a matter of fate. Like your rtionship with the little girl and mine with you, theyre all about fate. If fate allows us another child, Ill do everything I can to ensure her safety. Pinky promise, Charles Amos stretched out his little hand. Okay. After Kevin rk finished talking with Charles, seeing him happily ying, he decided to return to the Imperial Capital branch of Easton Group. As he sat in the car having left the rk Manor, Michael Jackson started the car and said, Sir, Henry rk is in Imperial Capital. Kevin rk looked up, a somber look in his eyes, Keep an eye on him. Yes, sir replied Michael Jackson, but Edward Kirstens people They could certainly watch Henry rk, as he was in cahoots with Edward Kirsten. However, they had no track of Kirstens people who lurked in the shadows. Be prepared. Kevin rk removed the bracelet from his wrist and twirled it in his hands. Bring more people, heighten the vigil. Yes. With one hand twirling the Eaglewood beads, and the other holding his cell phone, Kevin sent a message to William Lane informing him about Henry rk being in Imperial Capital. This was his calcted move to use anothers hand to kill. As long as Henry rk stayed quietly abroad, Kevin might have let him go. But Henry rk insisted on returning to his homnd. A little more than a decade ago, this man almost caused the death of Hugo rk. His father, out of blood ties, spared his life and sent him abroad. But nowit was bing clear that they needed to remove the root while cutting off the weed After Kevin rk left, little Charles continued to help Natalie Wayne with her knitting, then assembled his Lego next to her. The Lego set was a gift from Hugo rk. Once assembled, it would be taller than Charles, who was only building the foundation now. It would take quite some time toplete. After assembling for a while, Grandpa rk, using his cane, came by. Charles greeted him with a Grandpa and resumed his assembly after a while. While assembling, he kept ncing over at Grandpa rk and Natalie Wayne. Although Grandpa rk was old, his eyesight was quite good. To be honest, he didnt even need to look. He had experienced so much in his life, having witnessed a whole era of changes. Being a little boy, Charles had a curious mind. Even if Grandpa rk was facing away from him, he could still sense his little thoughts. So, after Grandpa rk finished talking with Natalie Wayne, he looked at Charles, Charles, is there something you want to talk to grandpa and grandma about? Charles pursed his lips, put down his Lego, and walked over to them. Natalie Wayne also put down her needle, looked at him, and gently asked with a smile, Whats the matter? Unhappy? Is something bothering you? Natalie Wayne asked, Is it because of Kevin and your mom? Charles nodded. Natalie Wayne sighed inwardly, feeling a bit reproachful towards Kevin. He hadnt managed the situation properly before leaving. You can talk to grandpa and grandma. Natalie moved forward, took his little hand and said. After looking at Grandpa rk and then at Natalie Wayne, Charles said: Grandma, Grandpa, Im going to tell you a secret. Can you promise not to tell anyone else? Of course. Natalie immediately agreed. Charles then looked at Grandpa rk. Grandpa rk promptly replied, Of course. Once both of them had agreed, Charles finally said, Actually my mom she is Daisy Zane. We dont have any blood rtionship. Natalie Wayne and Grandpa rk clearly were taken aback, and they exchanged a look. They had not expected the young boy to suddenly share this with them. Charles continued, Technically, she adopted me. But because she was quite young and didnt meet the criteria required for adopting me, legally theres no rtion between us. His voice faltered, a hint of destion apparent, as he spoke about them not being rted.. Chapter 289: 266: Little Charles Amos is a Gentleman Chapter 289: 266: Little Charles Amos is a Gentleman
Trantor: 549690339 Listeneing to Charles Amoss mncholic tone, Natalie Wayne felt a little heartache, pulled his little hand, and took him to her side: Come, sit beside Grandmother.
Charles Amos sat down next to Natalie Wayne. Natalie Wayne patted his little head and said, Its okay, Harton rk is older, and you can be under his nameter. In this way, you will be a family in the eyes of thew. Charles Amoss eyes moved, and then heughed a little and said, That doesnt seem too bad. Exactly. Natalie Wayne said warmly. Charles Amos smiled and added, Grandpa, Grandma. My mom, she is a very special good girl. She is very, very outstanding, super intelligent, she can do anything. Although she looks cold and distant, in fact, she values feelings very much. Elina rk and Natalie Wayne looked at each other again. My background is a bitplicated. She didnt have to raise me originally. But because my father helped her, she has been taking care of me since she was a teenager. Charles Amos said, A young girl took care of me, and though Grandpa Edwards assisted, it was still not easy. Many people would criticize her because of me. But she is very strong and powerful. She is really great. Charles Amos was not only mature but also had a fast-developing mind despite his short stature. He knew a lot of things from a very young age. So, he rarely called Daisy Zane mom in public. It was only after he became familiar with people like Arthur North, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright that he started calling Daisy Zane Mom in front of them. Natalie Wayne patted his head, feeling sorry for this child: We know. Shes a very good girl, and because youre so outstanding, she must be outstanding as well.
Im still young, I can try harder. Natalie Wayne and Elina rk bothughed: You are indeed still young, but youre already outstanding. Charles Amos showed a small, toothy smile: Grandpa, Grandma. You have to help me keep this secret. If she finds out that I said these things, shell be angry. What will happen if she gets angry? Will she hit people? teased Natalie Wayne. Charles Amos pursed his lips and whispered, She wont hit people casually. Natalie Wayneughed again, touched by Charles Amoss cuteness. You know shell be angry, but you still tell us. Natalie Wayneughed. I dont want her to be implicated because of me. Charles Amos pouted. Oh, my dear, how could you implicate her? Natalie Wayne put him on herp and touched his face, We cant wait to like you furthermore. I like Grandpa and Grandma too. Charles Amos smiled, I also like Uncle, Auntie, Brother Enamel, and Sister Lily. You dont leave anyone out.
Hehe. Charles Amosughed. Elina rk watched them,ughing along and then looked down as he drank water from the ss. He felt that not only did the boy resemble Harton rk, but he also resembled Natalie Wayne. It was not his illusion, they just looked very alike. Especially when the two of them were together, theirughter was very much alike. Back at Gathering Joy Private School, Olivia Lane waited to go back to her ssroom until the afternoon ss started. At this time, Daisy Zane organized the experimental data in her head. When Olivia Lane returned, she first looked at Daisy Zane, saw that she was fine, and then put away the food box and ced it in the cab behind her. After returning to her seat, she hesitated for a moment before asking, Are you alright? Hm? Daisy Zane looked at her. Allergic reaction. Olivia Lane said impatiently. Its fine. Daisy Zane said, I really wont be affected by eating a little. I cant harm myself, can I?
Who knows? Olivia Lane muttered, then took out a stack of entirely nk exam papers from the desk and put them on the table. The first period is English. Daisy Zane said. Olivia Lane flipped through and casually put an English test paper on top. You said morning self-study is English, so scheduling the first lesson in English is fine. Turner Daniel muttered as he turned back, If the first lesson in the afternoon is English, there will only be one result. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow. Olivia Lane said: Everyone falls asleep. Exactly. Turner Daniel said, By the way, why hasnt my deskmate been here for half a day? As soon as he said this, William Butch entered the ssroom from the entrance. Olivia Lane nced at him and quickly noticed the cut on the corner of his mouth. She squinted her eyes and said, Here he is. Turner Daniel also looked over and noticed the wound. He paused for a moment, got up from his seat, and made way for him. William sensed the gazes and lowered his head even more, wishing he could hide. Daisy Zane nced at him and then looked away. She remembered that he didnt have any injury on the corner of his mouth in the morning. It seemed he had been beaten up again. William hurried to his seat and quickly stole a nce at Daisy Zane before sitting down. Daisy Zane didnt look up from the test paper. Todays English ss was about the homework assigned yesterday. As Turner Daniel and Olivia Lane predicted, ten minutes into the ss, everyone fell asleep. The warm sunshine outside shined in, and the only sound in the ssroom was the teachers voice. The atmosphere grew heavier and heavier. Daisy supported her chin with one hand, held a pen in the other, and drew a portrait of Olivia, who had closed her eyes, on the test paper with her peripheral vision. After a while, while she was drawing enthusiastically, the teacher suddenly called her name. Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes pen stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at the teacher. The teacher smiled gently at her and then said, Please read the following passage. Having not heard where the teacher left off, Daisy Zane stood up after looking at the test paper. Hearing her name, Olivia Lane opened her eyes, nced at the teacher, and then at the standing Daisy Zane. She then asked, Which part? The boy behind her shook his head, I didnt hear. Olivia Lane: Turner Daniel, who had just been startled awake, wanted to ask William where they were, but as soon as he showed signs of speaking, William instinctively dodged and shrank inward. Turner Daniel stretched his neck to look at the test paper of a student across the aisle. Jessica Maxwell scoffed as she watched Daisy Zane stand up and said, Lets see her make a fool of herself. Upon hearing her words, Celeste Martin lowered her eyes without saying anything. The people around were somewhat flustered, but Daisy Zane stood very calmly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask where to start reading, she saw William pull the test paper aside slightly, then circled the third paragraph of the second article in the readingprehension section with his pen. She swallowed her words, and since the test paper was on this side, she picked it up, shook it, and read: Some people seem willing to work around the clock Daisy Zanes voice was clear and cold, like winter snow, cool and refreshing. It was aloof, untouchable, yet very pleasing to the ear. Her pronunciation was also very standard, with a unique ent that sounded like a London ent but didnt quite resemble it. Upon hearing her voice, those who were dozing off suddenly woke up, staring at her in amazement and listening to her voice.. Chapter 290: 267: Not Her Chapter 290: 267: Not Her
Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zanes voice was like a cool breeze, injecting a touch of life into the warm, gloomy ssroom. Turner Daniel nced at her and smiled softly after looking away. Olivia Lane, on the other hand, looked at her, her eyshes trembling momentarily before she lowered her eyes.
The English passage Daisy read aloud wasnt very long. After she finished, the teacher praised her and said, Listen carefully, before letting her sit down. Then, Olivia Lane was called to read the next passage. The paper Olivia ced on her desk was a few days old. Daisy Zane put her own paper directly on Olivias desk and pointed to the passage she was to read. Olivia first looked at Daisys fingertip, then looked at the portrait Daisy had drawn of her. Although the sketch was only halfwaypleted, it was clearly of her. Olivia nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and smiled at her. Leaning forward, Olivia lowered her voice and said quickly, Youre viting my portrait rights. Daisy Zane smiled and said, You can choose to sue me. Ill pay. Olivia nced at her, almost speechless. She didnt say anything else and started reading the passage aloud: Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide
Olivia Lanes voice had always been pleasant. It was soft, a little raw, and a bitnguid. Her pronunciation was naturally very urate. Still, if one listened carefully, it wasnt hard to notice that it was somewhat simr to Daisy Zanes. Olivia quickly finished reading and then looked at their teacher. The teacher looked at her, then at Daisy Zane, and said, Did you two learn your pronunciation from each other? Its both simr and distinct. Daisy Zane didnt mind; she thought the girl was just trying to tease her by imitating her pronunciation. On the other hand, Olivia listened to the teacher and looked at Daisy Zane. Her English was taught by a foreign housekeeper at home. That housekeepers ent was like this, so her pronunciation became like this as well. Alright, Olivia, you can sit down now, the teacher said. Olivia sat down and stared at the paper without moving. Daisy Zane noticed her daydreaming and reached for the paper on her desk. However, as soon as Daisy Zane touched the paper, Olivia pressed it down.
Olivia nced at her and asked after a moment, Where did you learn your English? Daisy Zane thought for a moment; her pronunciation might have been influenced during her time in Continent A. In Continent A, although most people spoke in their nativenguage, foreign servants who werent local sometimes spoke English. Their pronunciation was like this, even Wilton Edwards pronunciation was like this. However, Daisy Zane said, My grandma is mixed-race. Who do you think taught me? Olivias eyes traced Daisys face once more and wondered if she was going crazy. No matter how much someone changes from the age of 13 to 23, there would always be traces of their past selves. The person in front of her was aplete stranger, with no simrities whatsoever. After a while, Olivia handed Daisy Zane the paper and said coldly, Finish it. Daisy Zane gave her a smirk before picking up her pen to continue drawing. When the drawing wasplete, Olivia took the paper away, haughty and domineering. There was a sports ss that afternoon. Daisy Zane had initially expected to witness a battle for the ss, but not only did it not happen, Skyler Thomas personally came to the ssroom to drive out the students who were writing papers and didnt want to go down.
As for her she was called to the office. Skyler Thomas was still driving people out of the ssroom, but he asked Daisy Zane to go to the office first. On the way to the office, Daisy Zanes cell phone vibrated twice. She took it out and saw a message from Kevin rk: [What did you do wrong? Do you need a family member toe to the office and pick you up?] Daisy Zane curled her lips in a smile, and then looked up at the camera in front of her before replying to his message: [Third Master, you have too much free time.] [Ive been busy all morning, just opened it, and saw you being called to the office.] With one hand in her pocket and the other holding her cell phone, Daisy Zane replied to him: [Then close it and get back to work.] [What? You dont want me to watch?] Daisy Zane replied: [Mhm.] After replying to Kevin, Daisy Zane turned off her microphone and spoke to the shooting director. Her equipment was then shut down. The cameraman wasnt following her anymore. Kevin rk looked at the ckputer screen, and then sent Daisy Zane another message: 1.1 Daisy Zane replied with eight characters: [Focus on your work; beauty distracts.] Daisy Zane entered the office, where two unfamiliar teachers were present. She nodded in greeting and then went over to Skyler Thomas desk. She leaned against the desk and waited for Skyler Thomas to arrive. When he saw her, he smiled first: I wanted to talk to you about not having the camera follow you anymore, but I see youve already arranged it. As Skyler Thomas spoke, he pulled a chair over to her and said, Sit. Daisy Zane sat down and looked at him, saying, Its because of William Butchs situation. Yes, Skyler Thomas replied. This child is really worrying me. This morning, I called his parents behind his back. His mother answered, saying she was abroad and too busy toe back. His fathers phone was unreachable. What happened after that? Daisy Zane asked quietly. I thought this kind of situation needed to be handled by both the school and the family, Skyler Thomas rubbed his temples and said. So I called his grandmother ording to the information he provided when he started school. But she said its normal for boys to fight, and theres no need to intervene. Hell be fer. Daisy Zane: . I just started working with them, and I only knew that William Butch was usually quiet and unwilling to talk. I never expected him to be bullied, Skyler Thomas said. This is a serious matter, and if it continues, hell develop psychological problems. Do you think he doesnt have psychological problems now? Huh? Based on Daisy Zanes observations, William Butchs psychological problems were severe. What should I do? Skyler Thomas asked. I tried to counsel him this morning, but he had no reaction whatsoever, and his family isnt cooperating. He was beaten up again at noon, Daisy Zane said. Skyler Thomas furrowed his brows: This child Ive been in the profession for many years, and hes not the first case Ive encountered like this. But Ive never seen someone like William Butch, who seems not to hear anything and doesnt respond. Daisy Zane looked at him without saying anything. Daisy, do you have a solution? Skyler Thomas asked. I saw you stopping me in the morning and thought you might have a solution. His family doesnt care, and Im really worried that he might go through a more severe situation. Thats why I bothered you during the recording. She blinked her eyshes gently and asked, How old is he? Fifteen, replied Skyler Thomas. So young? Daisy Zane remarked. His grades were excellent before, and he skipped two grades in middle school, Skyler Thomas stated. But his current grades are terrible, almost at the bottom of the entire school.

Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane stayed in the office for half a ss period, and when she came out, she went straight to the rooftop. As she pushed open the door to the rooftop, she dialed Holt Lawrences number.
She heard the sound of the phone connecting, and also saw Olivia Lane looking down from the rooftop. Olivia Lane turned around when she heard the door opening. Daisy Zane looked at her, her eyebrows raised slightly, and closed the door behind her. Just as she was about to speak, Holt Lawrence picked up the call and began to speak excitedly: Nana, did youe to Celestial Pivot? Are you at the ground floor? Ille and fetch you. Daisy Zane walked up to Olivia Lane while listening to Holt Lawrence speak. As if she hadnt heard him, in a calm voice she said, Help me investigate a person. Holt Lawrence: . William Butch, 15 years old, a student of Gathering Joy Private ss 36. Daisy Zane continued, I want all the information. Family, experience, including his interpersonal rtionships at school. Also, the people he oftenes into contact with, their impressions of him, and their evaluation. Olivia Lane looked at her, her gaze deepened. Who is this person? Hes only fifteen, is it rted to us? Holt Lawrence asked. Im doing someone a favor. Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane and gave her an amused smirk. Holt Lawrence: Arent you tired? Youre so busy with your own matters, yet youre still helping others.
Ive been rather free recently. Daisy Zane replied, Just right to find something to do. To kill some time. If you are free,e and help me out at Celestial Pivot for a couple of days. chuckled: Get it done for me as soon as possible. Understood. Holt Lawrence replied, Your problem is urgent; Ill have to release the info tonight. Hold on to the intel, I dont have aputer on hand. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane and asked, What are you doing here? Why are you here? Olivia Lane countered. Making a phone call. Cant you find a secluded area to make your call secretly? I thought there would be no one here. Daisy Zane replied with a smile. But you were talking in front of me.
Thats right, someone overheard the call. The look in Daisy Zanes eyes turned cold like a sharp sword directly pointed at Olivia Lane, So, should I eliminate a witness? Olivia Lane was taken aback by her statement and involuntarily took a step back. Daisy Zane immediately took a step forward. What are you trying to pull? Daisy Zane looked at her for a moment, and then she started tough. Olivia Lane: Even though Daisy Zane wasughing, she still gave off a chill and steady aura. Why are youughing? You are not allowed tough! Olivia Laneined. Okay, Ill stopughing. Daisy Zane said, still smiling. What are you trying to do, fool me! Olivia Lane looked at her for a moment, then covered Daisy Zanes mouth with her hand, Stopughing! Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with amusement as she watched her. She pulled Olivia Lanes hand down, no longer teasing her, and tousled Olivia Lanes hair lightly: Okay, I wontugh. Olivia Lane hmphed, ignored her, and continued to look down at the yground from the rooftop.
Daisy Zane also stopped talking, observing the students on the yground, their running, and ying around. Not only their ss, but others had P.E. too. Turner Daniel and George Dunn were ying basketball with the students, all decked out in school uniforms; it felt perfectly natural. A gaggle of teenage girls surrounded them, squealing from time to time. Celeste Martin was also on the bleachers, the center of another group of boys and girls, all filled withughter and easy camaraderie. Watching from the rooftop, Daisy Zane and Amelie Quentin kept their eyes on the scene. Suddenly, Amelie asked, Do you have a quarrel with Celeste Martin? Why does she always seem to target you in her remarks? I met her when filming the show. How could we possibly have any beef? Daisy responded nonchntly. It was simply Celestes ego; she was used to being in the spotlight. But when Daisy showed up, Celeste was forced to share that spotlight and the attention she was used to all for herself. Celeste was simply miffed. Especially since the day we all went out to dinner together before filming the show, everyone George, Director Nash, the staff, even the rest of the cast was so courteous and respectful to me. Were all in the entertainment industry after all. Daisy was a show scriptwriter of The Celestial Pivot fame. Who wouldnt want to get on her good side? With all the attention Daisy was receiving, naturally the spotlight shone a little less on Celeste. It was understandable that Celeste, who was used to being the center of attention since young, was not thrilled about this sudden change. Therefore, Daisy didnt hold it against her. However, Daisy was wary of Jessica Maxwell. She had the feeling that the girl had a grudge against her. No matter what Daisy did, Jessica seemed to take an instant dislike. Do you know why Jessica dislikes you? Amelie asked. Why? Daisy asked, looking at her. Apart from the possibility that she might be trolling you online, theres another reason, Amelie answered. Shes the cousin of Bonnie Maxwell. Do you know who Bonnie Maxwell is? Daisy: Daisy typically kept her emotions to herself, so Amelie didnt know if she recognized the name or not. She is the youngdy of the Maxwell family. You know them, right? They are close with the rk family. Daisy noticed Amelies excitement, her face lighting up with curiosity. The little girl Amelie bent down and whispered into her ear, Bonnie is always visiting the rk family. Even Ive heard about it. A lot of people in Imperial Capital im that Bonnie is the future Mrs. Kevin rk. Seeing a mischievous glint in Amelies eyes, Daisy chuckled and said, What are you trying to say? Amelie smiled roguishly: From what I hear, Kevin favor a variety of partners. There are a lot of women by his side. And then? Perhaps you should consider our Lane family, suggested Amelie, her smile widening. My brother is very handsome, extremely gentle and he leads a very clean private life. Besides, when ites to status, our family can hold its own against the rk family. Ah, so you want me to be your sister-inw. Amelie scratched her cheeklist, turned her gaze away as though uninterested, and nonchntly said, I just think youre a good person. Oh, Daisy pulled out her cell phone and randomly tapped on it a couple of times. Putting it to her ear, she said, Ill ask Kevin if hes cool with it. I !!! Amelies eyes grew wide with shock. After a moment of stunned silence, she immediately tried to snatch the phone out of Daisys hands, I was just kidding! You cant go tattling like that! Dont tell him, dont tell him! As Amelie lunged to grab the cell phone, Daisy easily held it out of her reach with one hand, while wrapping the other arm around Amelies neck. Daisy pocketed her phone which hadnt dialed any number inside her uniform, and then pinched Amelies cheeks while saying, Little girl, when your Third Uncle gets mad, everyone within a hundred miles will suffer. So behave, and dont speak ill of me. Let go of me first. Promise me you wont go bbering nonsense first. Daisy pinched her cheek again. Amelie, her waist bent from Daisys hold, grasped at Daisys clothes. She reluctantly said, I wont say it anymore. Daisy gave a softugh and let go. The moment she was released, Amelie, like a kitten, lifted her hands and began to p harmlessly at Daisy, Ah, how dare you bully me, how dare you bully me. Amelies yful hits couldnt even be ssified as tickling, so Daisy just sat there,ughing as Amelie vented her frustration.

Trantor: 549690339 These two days, Kevin rk was focusing on testing the program. After eating dinner, he did not go home. Instead, he nned to work overtime at thepany. After dinner, he took advantage of a little free time and called William Lane.
He stood in front of the French window of the top-floor office in the skyscraper, overlooking the night view of the entire city. Wearing a ck shirt, holding the Eaglewood bracelet in his left hand, rubbing it. The right hand was holding the phone, waiting for William Lane to answer the call. It rang for a long time before the other party finally picked up. Whats up? William Lane asked. Kevin rk said directly: I want to book the whole Doomsday Hotel in Imperial Capital. What? William Lane thought he heard it wrong, What did you say? Booking what? Your hotel. Kevin rk repeated it indifferently. Why do you want to book the whole Doomsday Hotel? William Lane was puzzled, What do you need the whole hotel for? Kevin rk looked at the reflection in the ss, his long and narrow eyes showing a touch of smile: To propose. What? What are you doing? William Lane not only thought he had heard it wrong, but even felt that the person calling was not Kevin rk. So he checked the caller ID again. Then he suddenly fell silent.
He knew Kevin rk too well, so when he heard the two words proposal, he was so surprised that he couldnt make a sound. Whenever Kevin rk thought about this matter, he was in a good mood, so William Lane didnt make a sound for a long time, and he didnt urge him. After a while, William Lane spoke: No, that, what. Youre proposing, you can just use the banquet hall, or anywhere else. Why do you need to book the whole hotel? She likes it. William Lane: Even if she likes it, theres no need to book the entire Doomsday Hotel. I can make the best room avable for you two. So many rooms will be emptyit will take you two one night to visit all of them. William Lane said, If the Doomsday Hotel is not yours, it is already carrying the surname rk now. William Lane: I should thank you then. Youre wee. William Lane took a breath, hesitated, and said, Which days should I book? I need to make arrangements in advance. There are currently people staying there, and there are daily reservations. I need to make arrangements in advance. Next week, from Friday to Sunday. Kevin rk said, It will definitely be vacant. No one will stay at the Doomsday Hotel for more than a week. Unless they want to go bankrupt.
William Lane snorted: Really? Are you going for bankruptcy? I have money. Kevin rk chuckled, Apart from the price for those three days, all the losses of the Doomsday Hotel during this period will be on my ount. Or what? Kevin rkughed: Goodbye. Wait a minute. William Lane stopped him, Dont touch the top floor, L Campbells and Amelie Quentins rooms. I know. Hmm. William Lane replied, Do you need your brother to witness this important moment for you? No need. Kevin rk refused very simply, I find you guys annoying. William Lane: favouring beauty Kevin rk interrupted him and said: Goodbye. Then he really hung up.
After hanging up, Kevin rk stood in front of the French window, bowed his head to look at the Eaglewood bracelet in his hand, and then he began tough. The door of the office was knocked twice. Kevin rk stoppedughing, put on the Eaglewood bracelet, and turned back to his desk. Three seconds after the knock, Michael Jackson and Juan Wright came in. Juan Wrights excitement was hard to hide in his eyes, but Michael Jackson was more normal. The two people walked to the desk, and Michael Jackson said: Third Master, Celestial Pivot has announced the member selection date. Nathan Ninevara participated in setting the questions. Kevin rk leaned back in his chair, looked at the two of them and, parting his lips slightly, asked, Hes showed up? Yes. Michael Jackson said. Juan Wright nodded heavily. That means hes still alive. Kevin rk whispered. Juan Wright nodded again. Michael Jackson was waiting for instructions. Kevin rk looked at Juan Wright, looked at him for two seconds, then shifted his gaze to his cell phone. When he looked over, Juan Wrights eyes were shining, and he had an expression of being entrusted with an important mission. But when Kevin rk looked away with disgust, his expression immediately wilted. Third Master? Juan Wright asked, puzzled. Arthur North looked up at him: What? Arent we going to catch Nathan Ninevara? Juan asked. Can you catch him? Arthur whispered, Can I rely on you? Ilve been making progresstely. Have you broken through the defenses of Celestial Pivot? Juan Wright: Michael Jackson clenched his right hand and covered his mouth, hiding hisughter. Alright, you lead the pursuit, Arthur said. Who knows, Nathan Ninevara might have apse in judgment and let you catch up. Juan Wright: Michael lowered his head, not daring to allow himself tough in front of Arthur. At school, shortly after evening self-study, Daisy Zane had returned to her dorm for just 5 minutes when Arthur Norths call came in. By chance, her cell phone on the table was seen by Celeste Martin. Daisy did not mind Celestes gaze and picked up her phone before heading to the balcony to answer. After chatting for a bit, Daisy asked, Is Charles Amos still at rk Manor? Yeah. Arthur said, I wont be going home tonight; hes sleeping with my parents. Daisy Zane: . Dont worry, my parents really like him, Arthur added. After a pause, he asked, Little girl, do you know about Nathan Ninevara from Celestial Pivot? Daisy raised her eyebrows upon hearing his words: Yes. Have you hacked through the defenses of Celestial Pivot? Arthur asked. Daisys hand rested on the windowsill of the balcony, her fingertips tapping lightly in turn: No. Why not give it a try? Arthur suggested. Not interested, Daisy said indifferently, Whats up? Arthur chuckled: I have a favor to ask of you. Daisy narrowed her eyes: Go ahead. The member selection date for Celestial Pivot has been set. Nathan Ninevara participated in the exam design, Arthur said. I want to know his whereabouts. Daisy Zane: . Can you do it? Although Arthur was asking, his tone was full of confidence in Daisy. Since Nathan Ninevara had participated in the exam design, it meant that he had been active online. This was like searching blindly for someone on the vast inte, the Dark Web, and suddenly having a target. At least it was known that he had been active recently, although the exact date was unknown. But for someone at Nathan Ninevaras level, it didnt matter whether or not he had shown up online. Some people would undoubtedly try to find him, but in the end, they would all reach the same conclusion: There was no trace to be found. However other people might fear Nathan Ninevaras hacking skills, but not Arthur. He would keep searching, whether there was a target or not. He didnt care about the process; he just wanted the result. If he crossed the Easton Group, there would surely be consequences. Unless Nathan Ninevara was already dead, Arthur would keep looking until he found him. What if I cant find him? Daisy asked. I believe in you. Arthur had witnessed her ability to find Olivia Lane, utterly looking down on Holt Lawrence. You trust me that much? Of course. In honor of your trust, Ill give you a dose of reassurance, Daisy said with a smile. Interesting? This matter is quite simple, Daisy said nonchntly. Arthur chuckled: Then, Ill eagerly await your good news. All right, Daisy agreed, Ill let you know. Okay. Chapter 293: 270: Sketch Chapter 293: 270: Sketch
Trantor: 549690339 Wednesday, the day in the five-day school week that marks the transition from more to fewer days left. Once this day is over, the time to rest gets closer and closer. Daisy Zanes Wednesday also underwent a change.
They no longer attended ss in their usual ssroom. After having breakfast, they were taken to the Art Building to experience the life of specialized students. The specialized students started preparing for the annual Art Examination after entering Senior Three, so they hardly took any liberal arts courses anymore. Todays schedule was for them to spend the morning with art students and the afternoon with music talent students. Tomorrow, they would have dance and sports. The group of eight didnt separate, instead, they all entered a single ssroom. Obviously, there were differences in clothing and style between the art students and those who only studied liberal arts. Although they all wore school uniforms, the art students had a distinctive artistic temperament. Moreover, a striking feature of art specialty students was the presence of watercolor on their clothes. When the group of eight entered the ssroom, the teacher gave a brief introduction and then let them sit by the previously arranged easels. As for the other students in the ssroom, they only paused, listening to the teachers introduction, pped in wee, and then picked up their pens and continued drawing.
As Daisy Zane trailed behind the group, the others who sat downter didnt take their seats but waited for her instead. Celeste Martin, initially excited about the new environment, saw this change in demeanor, her smile froze for a moment, but she immediately regained herposure, and also waited along with everyone else. Daisy Zane nced at them, her expression unchanged, as if she was simply looking at them, and then casually picked a seat and sat down. After she took her seat, the other seven followed suit. Serena Buster sat to Daisy Zanes right, George Dunn to her left. Turner Daniel, finding no space next to her, sat behind her on the left, and Celeste Martin sat on her right. Today, the students main practice task was to sketch a half-length portrait with their hands, which should have been just assigned today, so most students were still in the drafting stage. After the eight of them sat down, they looked at the imitation material beside them and then at the students in front of them who were all busy drawing. The entire ssroom was filled with the sound of fingertips rubbing against paper. After a while, the teacher walked around the ssroom and came over to them, lowering her voice, she asked, Have you learned this before? Several boys shook their heads. Serena Buster said, I went to Teachers College, and we had a sketching course. Does that count?
The teacher smiled and said, It counts. Celeste Martin said, I learned it when I was a kid, but I gave it up after I started learning Pipa. Looking at Celeste Martin and the framework she drew on the paper, the teacher praised, Not bad, your sense of proportion is good. Celeste Martin smiled at her, Im a bit rusty. The teacher, with her long wavy ck hair and a modified cheongsam-style skirt, had an ordinary appearance; she was neither pretty nor dazzlingly beautiful. But the warm, intellectual, and rich temperament that radiated from within her was very attractive. Youre already doing well. The teacher continued, and then looked at Turner Daniel next to Celeste Martin. Turner Daniels drafting was very professional, and the teacher raised her eyebrows in surprise, Have you learned this before? Yes, Turner Daniel said, My grandmother is a professor at the Art College. Everyone: Teacher: So youve been influenced since you were young.
I guess so, Turner Daniel said. The teacher looked at the drawings of the others and saw that they hadnt started yet, so she said, Todays task is to imitate the material next to you. You have a time limit of three hours. Three hours? one of the boys asked. Yes, the Art Examination is three hours long. The teacher nced at the watch on her wrist, Its 8:11 now, and the time starts now. Considering some of you havent learned this before, you can be creative. Art has no specific definition, but you can use the pen in your hand to give your work its definition. The teacher paused for a moment before continuing, However this is imitation. Dont go too far with your imagination. Okay, start drawing. When the teacher left, Serena Buster moved her easel and stool closer to Daisy Zane, Daisy, have you learned this before? Ive learned a little, Daisy Zane said as she slowly sharpened her pencil with a knife.. Chapter 294: 270: Sketch_2 Chapter 294: 270: Sketch_2
Trantor: 549690339 Edward Kirsten had helped her explore many hobbies, and painting was one of them. He hired a teacher specifically for her. Sketching, drawing, watercolor She had systematically learned them all. She didnt know if it was because she had a foundation before, but she learned many things very quickly.
So when sheter taught herself fashion design, because she had the basic skills of painting, she learned it more easily. As for jewelry design it could only be considered part of the package. When George Dunn heard her talking with Daisy Zane, especially when Daisy said a little, the corner of his mouth couldnt help but twitch. The chief designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts should have a solid foundation in painting, right? When I was young, I also learned a little, George Dunn said, but after half a year, my teacher returned my tuition fee to my mom, even refunding an extra 500 dors and told me to go home. George Dunn was born and raised in Imperial Capital, and has a good background. He must have learned a lot of things from childhood and developed in many ways. Daisy listened to his words and nced at him: On the other hand, Serena Buster openlyughed. George Dunn: He was a best actor anyway and considered a giant in the entertainment industry. This damn Miss, sheughed so obviously. Did she want to continue mixing? Daisy ignored their grudges and looked at the imitation material beside her after sharpening the pencil tip. After a few seconds, she ced the material aside and started drawing the outline on the sketch paper.
More than an hourter, the teacher came to see their work, and even with her psychological preparation, she was shocked by their drawings. One boys drawing had a braised egg-like head She admired him for a moment for making it so round. There was also a drawing of a person that looked like a mantis. She thought that it wasnt a hand but a five-pronged fork for demon-ying. Another had apletely ckened head and four round holes left on the face. From the position, it seemed like the eyes, nose, and mouth. In any case, for her, a teacher with nearly ten years of teaching experience, this was arge-scale car ident scene. Fortunately, these were not her students; otherwise, she would have a cerebral hemorrhage looking at their drawings. However, the front row was better off. Celeste Martins semi-finished product had some issues with proportions and the rtionship between ck and white and gray, but it was not bad for non-professionals. After all, she hadnt learned for long. It was already good enough to draw like this. Turner Daniels painting in terms of the drawing itself, it was very good. It was even better than some students in the ss.
However, he wasntpletely imitating the material. He slightly changed the outline of the figure and the revealed facial features, but it wasnt very obvious. The teacher stood behind him for a while, then looked at Daisy Zane. The character under Turner Daniels pen seemed to be abination of two figures. They could be separated when the corresponding points were found. One was the character in the material, and the other was Daisy Zane. But at first nce, the twobined seemed like a stranger, resembling neither of the originals. He hid a girl in his drawing. The teacher looked for a while, then gently smiled and nced at Turner Daniel, who was just neen years old She didnt linger for long and went to stand behind Daisy Zane. Daisy didnt draw the character from the material. She drew very quickly, and the initial image was already there. It was a man in his twenties, and although only half of his body was visible, it was clear that he had perfect body proportions.
From the head, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands, every part was wless. The thin lips and narrow eyes on his face were very delicate. Even if the painting was only in ck and white. The charming feeling of the man could still be perceived, The man in the painting wore a ck shirt, with the button not fastened, revealing his corbone. Mysteriously, there was a sense of both abstinence and enchantment. This was just the initial stage of drawing, but if the subsequent shadows, light, and other aspects had no problem, it would be a high-scoring artwork in an art examination. Is this someone who exists in reality or someone imagined? the teacher suddenly asked. As soon as the teacher spoke, several people looked at Daisy Zane. When George Dunn saw Harton rk in the painting, he couldnt help being speechless: Serena Buster had seen Harton rk on the film set before. She looked at the painting, then looked at Daisy, and then put on a face of confirmed spection. As expected, the two of you are together. She didnt ship the wrong CP. However is this what she calls having studied a little? Is this a bit of a bully? When Turner Daniel looked, he hesitated for a moment. It was him the man he had seen at the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute entrance. Drawing him, did she like him? Or did she see him as an idol? What do they have inmon? He had heard from his grandfather that the man was outstanding As Turner Daniel stared at the painting and pondered, Celeste Martins eyes trembled when she looked. Not only was it because Daisys sketch was so good, but also because of the man in the painting. The man who made her fall for him after just one nce. Was it really this man who called her in the evening? That was the rk Family of Imperial Capital. Even she felt that it was a wild idea for her to be with Harton rk. She was just a wild girl from Cold Green Vige C what right did she have? How could she dare? Daisy didnt directly answer the teachers question, instead, she said, Just a random drawing. The teacher heard her answer, looked at her, and then smiled. It should be someone who really exists, right? After all, with Daisys looks, only a man like the one in the painting would be a match for her. Just as the teacher was about to say something else, the front door was gently knocked twice. All the students looked over. The director in charge of the Special Talent ss was standing at the entrance, greeting the teacher before saying, Everyone, pack up your things and go to the Ceremony Hall. Daisy watched from behind when the ss was ordered. As soon as the director finished speaking, all the students seemed to stretch their necks and listen attentively. The director continued, Thanks to the program team, they invited the founder of Spotlight, Felix Baker, to give a lecture on jewelry design. Daisy: Wow!!! The ssroom suddenly erupted. There were not only screams, but also stomping, pping, and even the sound of books hitting the ground. The director pped his hands to calm them down: Quiet down. If you want to pursue design, listen carefully. This is a very rare opportunity. Hurry up and orderly head to the Ceremony Hall. Dont let our guests wait. Chapter 295: 271: Cut from the Same Mold Chapter 295: 271: Cut from the Same Mold
Trantor: 549690339 The Art Specialty ss has six sses and over 200 students. They all lined up outside the ssroom and headed towards the Ceremony Hall.
Daisy Zane took her half-finished painting off the easel and handed it to the shooting director after she went out, asking him to help keep it safe. Director Nash came over, with something to discuss with her and George Dunn. That Brook God and George, help me out by looking after Felix Baker a bitter, said Director Nash. Daisy Zane, who wanted to blend in with the students and avoid Felix Baker, said: Director Nash continued: Felix has been very busytely; it took our program team a whole month to grind out this bit of time. Daisy Zanes eyebrows moved slightly, indeed busy, busy buying jadeite in D Continent. Director Nash knew that the Dunn family had business dealings with the Spotlight group, and George Dunn and Felix Baker were somewhat acquainted. As for Daisy Zane, he heard from people in the Program Team that Felix seemed to have a good impression of Daisy Zane duringst years Spotlight G, even inviting her for a private chat. Felix Baker was a well-known egoist. He might look gentle, but in reality, he was quite difficult to deal with. As long as his interests were not harmed, everything was negotiable. But if he suffered just a little loss, he wouldnt let it go. It could be said that burning incense was offered in gratitude when the program team managed to invite him this time, setting aside the matter of money.
They were afraid of not treating him well and provoking him. They felt Felix might just leave midway if things didnt go well. So the program team thought about asking two people, who were more familiar with him, to entertain him a bit. Such a connection would facilitate easier interaction on both sides. Brook God, George, do you mind helping out? Director Nash asked. George Dunn cleared his throat and said, I am not that close to him, actually. Although the Dunn family had business dealings with Spotlight, George hadnt been directly involved. At most, he had a rtionship with Felix where they would greet each other when they met. No worries, just have a casual chat, said Director Nash. Alright then, George Dunn agreed. Director Nash then looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes lips quivered, wanting to refuse. But seeing Director Nashs pitiful and attentive expression, she eventually didnt say anything and agreed to it. Daisy Zane and George Dunn followed their ss into the Ceremony Hall.
When their ss entered, Felix Baker was at the entrance, a little inside, chatting with the school leaders and several directors from the program team. As everyone entered, they could see them at first nce, but couldnt hear what they were saying. The eight people participating in the program recording were at the end of the ss. Daisy Zane and George Dunn were behind those eight people. They nned to wait until everyone else had gone in, then drop out of line, go greet Felix Baker, and return to their seats. But as soon as the two of them stepped into the Ceremony Hall, they saw Celeste Martin walk straight over to Felix Baker. And as she went over, the remaining students followed. George Dunn and Daisy Zane also just followed along behind them. When Celeste Martin reached Felix Bakers side, she first greeted the school leaders and directors, then looked at Felix and said, Mr. Baker, long time no see. Do you still remember me? Felix Baker looked at her, his eyshes quivering slightly, obviously not remembering her. But he didnt show it on his face and instead smiled gently, I have an impression. Celeste Martin also smiled and said, Last year, you went to the Court Music
Academy for a concert, and we met backstage. Felix Baker did have a recollection of going backstage at the Court Music Academy, buthe really couldnt seem to quite remember her, Ah, indeed, its been over a year since we met. Felix Baker said in a tone as if he had remembered. Celeste Martins smile deepened: Yeah, Mr. Baker hasnt been there since. I had more free time back then, listening to concerts stimted my inspiration. Felix Baker was smooth in his speech when his interests were not involved, I have been busiertely, so I havent been there again. Director Nash said: So it turns out that Mr. Baker knows Celeste Martin. Felix Baker smiled on his face, and thought, so her name is Celeste Martin. Celeste is indeed excellent, being able to enter the Court Music Academy. Director Nash said, I heard that she got personal guidance from Boss Flores, the founder of the Meiyanwan banquet, not long ago. Baker thought to himself, so she ys the pipa: Lady Martins pipa skill is indeed unparalleled. Not really, I need to improve, Celestes smile deepened again. She had been frustrated these days, always overshadowed. Now she finally felt better. She pretended to casually nce at the people behind her. Seeing the admiration and envy on their faces made her feel even more proud. As the founder of Spotlight, except for George Dunn, the others here hardly had the opportunity to socialize with him, let alone meet him. Director Nash, afraid of losing the excitement, hurriedly introduced the other seven people: Mr. Baker, these are all the participants of the show. Felix Baker looked at them, and was just about to greet them politely, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. The smile on his face stiffened for a moment as he turned to look. Then he saw Daisy Zane, dressed neatly in a school uniform and a high ponytail. As Daisy Zane looked over, her expression remained indifferent, with no change at all. Even a touch of annoyance appeared at the bottom of her eyes. However, Felix Baker stared at her for two seconds before moving his eyes away, thinking to himself how much she resembled yson Ninevara, as if they were carved from the same mold. As the thought shed through his mind, he was taken aback for a moment before turning to look at Daisy Zane again. To see her behind George Dunn, Felix Baker took a step back on purpose. Daisy Zane: . Felix Baker stared at her for two more seconds and said: You Thinking that he couldnt remember Daisy Zane, Director Nash stepped between them and said: Mr. Baker, this is Daisy Zane, a screenwriter for Flynn Ninevara. You met her at the Spotlight G. As he finished the introduction, Felix Bakers amiable face almost contorted. Opening his mouth, he took a deep breath and said: Its really you! Standing aside, Celeste Martins smile had disappeared by more than half as she watched Felix Baker and Daisy Zane. Her hands slowly clenched together at her sides. Daisy Zane did not want to deal with him. How are you here? Felix Baker said. Seeing his reaction, Director Nash was taken aback. It seemed as if he was about to lose his temper. He exchanged nces with some school leaders, and then said as a mediator: Mr. Baker, Daisy Zane is also participating in the recording of our program. Felix Baker nced at Director Nash, then looked at Daisy Zane, and said with a stiff tone: You came here to record a show. Am I not allowed to? Daisy Zane countered. Her voice was somewhat cold. Felix Bakers arrogance immediately dropped by half: Of course, you are allowed. The audience: ??? Whats going on here? Felix Baker was still a little confused, mainly because it was confusing to see Daisy Zane in her school uniform. He didnt know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He didnt even know how to describe Daisy Zane now. He even felt a little dizzy. He still didnt understand how Harton rk agreed to let here and record the show. Not hiding her at home was one thing, but letting her out, were they crazy? Felix Baker stared nkly at Daisy Zane for a while, then turned to Director Nash and said: No, shes here to record a show. You have a ready-made person right here. Youve been grinding me for more than a month to get me here for a lecture. Director Nash blinked, paused for a moment, and didnt understand: Wha, what do you mean? Chapter 296: 272: Madam… Chapter 296: 272: Madam
Trantor:549690339 The students entering the Ceremony Hall are being arranged to find their seats by the teacher. At the entrance, a group of people are stunned by Felix Bakers words.
Everyone is a little confused about the meaning of Felix Bakers sentence. George Dunn hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Daisy Zane. Was this person rted to Spotlight too? Flynn Ninevara and yson Ninevara Thinking about it, George Dunn shook his head, shaking off his thoughts. It couldnt be, it couldnt be. This was the chief designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, how could they be rted to Spotlight? Impossible, impossible. Celeste Martin, seeing everyones attention being taken away by Daisy Zane, felt sick in her heart. Felix Baker saw the puzzled looks on their faces, looked at the director, then at Daisy Zane, and realized, Ah, no, no meaning. Director Nashs stiff face twitched slightly, then let out a dryugh, Hahaha, Mr. Baker, let me introduce you to these people who are participating in the recording. Sure. Felix Baker nced at Daisy Zane again, smiling as he agreed. Director Nash introduced the participants one by one, and Felix Baker shook hands with each of them. Afterwards, he chatted with George Dunn, Didnt expect Best Actor Dunn to be here. George Dunn smiled and nced at Daisy Zane, No choice, havent had any movies to shoot recently.
Daisy Zane: I understand. I have the same feeling when my yson doesnt submit his manuscript, said Felix Baker, smiling amicably. Upon hearing his words, Daisy Zane rubbed her fingertips. But recently, her manuscript has been handed in promptly. She prioritized Spotlight amidst her busy schedule, which makes me feel relieved. Shes really thoughtful, Felix Baker continued, You know our Concept Release Conference just ended, and weve been very busy. George Dunn wore a polite smile, but his inner thoughts were, this tone why is it so smug? Seeing this, Director Nash was about to praise yson Ninevara, but before the words reached his lips, Daisy Zane said, The students are all seated, its time to begin. Everyone looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane didnt look at anyone else but only stared at Felix Baker, saying calmly, Mr. Baker, pleasee this way. Felix Baker was called Mr. Baker, his heart thumping, almost jumping out of his chest. Yes, yes, Mr. Baker, pleasee this way, Director Nash said. Oh, alright, Felix Baker nced at Daisy Zane again, saying, Lets all go together, shall we?
Having said that, just when he was about to move, Daisy Zane took a step ahead of him. Felix Baker then saw Daisy Zane walk to his side, not even looking at him, and stepped on his foot. HissC Felix Baker gasped in pain. Daisy Zane did not move her foot away even after hearing his gasp, and deliberately used more force. It was obviously intentional. Felix Baker bent over in pain. Director Nash was inplete shock, sweating profusely, Mr. Baker, Mr. Baker, are you okay? Daisy didnt mean it. George Dunn, standing right next to Daisy Zane and up close to the scene, was stunned. Celeste Martin was also startled, quickly came to Felix Bakers side, Mr. Baker, are you okay? After saying that, she nced at Daisy Zane, thinking in her heart, Now that you have offended him, lets see how you fix this. The remaining people either held their breaths in silence or expressed their concern out loud. They were worried that he might get angry and refuse to give the lecture, leaving right away. Seeing him bend over, Daisy Zane finally moved her foot away, held his arm, and helped him up, Ah, Mr. Baker, I stepped on you.
There wasnt a trace of remorse in Daisy Zanes tone, even appearing perfunctory. Felix Baker stared at her with gritted teeth, lowering his voice, These are my new custom-made leather shoes, first time wearing them today. Celeste Martin, standing beside him, naturally overheard, her heart instantly ame with pain. Daisy Zane: I can tell. You! Felix Baker said, Compensate me! No money. Felix Baker felt her hand on his arm tighten, so he quickly straightened up and withdrew his arm. He said to the people around him, Its fine, its just a small matter. Everyone, please have a seat, have a seat. Everyone looked at the two, then at Felix Bakers pair of haute couture leather shoes with a noticeable indent. This was just a small matter? People were baffled and feeling chaotic. Director Nashs rapidly beating heart returned to its ce, swallowing hard, thinking: This isnt just an acquaintance, but a very close rtionship. The director and leader exchanged a few words, then let everyone be seated. George Dunn was still thinking if he should stay to entertain Felix Baker, but Daisy Zane was going to leave with their group. However, she didnt get away, as Felix Baker held her back. Celeste Martin nced back, her eyes flickering with a hint of darkness. Daisy Zane looked at Felix Baker: What are you doing? Where are you going? Felix asked. To listen. Daisy looked at him, slowly uttering three words, Your lecture. Felix choked on his saliva: Cough, cough Whats there to listen to? Why dont you Speak well. Daisy finished her sentence, raised her eyebrows at him, pulled her arm away, and left. Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, George Dunn followed Daisy out as well. Felix stared at her back, his eyebrows twitching. This this no one told him he had to face such a test. If he didnt speak well, hed beughed at; if he didnt get to the point, hed be mocked; if he talked too much nonsense, hed be given the cold shoulder. A feeling of nervousness suddenly crept into Felixs heart. If he had known earlier, he would have prepared a hundred-page PPT and a ten-page long draft. But although nervousness loomed in his heart, after going backstage, Felix still took a photo of his shoes first, and then found Kevin rks contact information and sent it to him. He also attached a line: [Third Master, your wife stepped on it. Your wife says shes broke.] The word wife was used with great intent. After sending the message, he sent over the receipt for customizing the shoes. Brightly demandingpensation. However, five minutester, Kevin rk replied: [Good stepping.] Felix looked at the message: The word wife was spoken in vain. But after a while, Kevin rk sent another message: [I have a piece of ruby in my hand. Ill have it sent to Spotlight.] Felixs mood instantly smoothed, and sure enough, those two words pleased Kevin rk. Two Mrs. rk for a piece of ruby; he felt like he had found the road to wealth. In the ssroom, Olivia Lane looked at the empty seats around her, both nearby and in front. Daisy Zane had only been there for two days, and they hadnt talked much during ss. However, when she suddenly left, Olivia felt that something was missing, and she became increasingly bored. The ss Representative was handing out test papers again, and within the span of two sses, Daisys desk was cluttered. Olivia Lane looked for a while, then rearranged the papers on Daisys desk. A stack of papers, Olivia didnt grab them properly, and the one at the bottom fell out. It was anguage test written by Daisy duringst nights evening self-study. Almost every question on the entire paper was answered, only the finalposition was not written. Especially the poetry appreciation and readingprehension sections at the back, they were filled with words. Olivia Lane looked at the handwriting for a while, feeling more and more familiar. Suddenly, her pupils trembled, and her hand holding the paper tensed, piercing through the paper. Some things had been stored at home for too long, and in addition to her own problems, she couldnt remember many things clearly. She had secretly studied psychology courses, a side effect of being too stimted. Some things she would remember vaguely. In severe cases, she would even experience forgetfulness. Only when she saw it again would she gradually remember. So this familiar handwriting, she couldnt be sure if it was the same as her sisters. After sitting in her seat for a while, Olivia Lanes hand was shaking slightly. She looked at the paper again, then got up with the paper, folding it while walking out of the ssroom. As she left the teaching building, the bell rang for the start of ss. Olivia Lane, as if she hadnt heard it, continued with a cold expression, quickening her pace toward the ce where she often jumped out. Upon reaching it, she effortlessly climbed the wall. However, seeing the Lanes guarding the outside of the wall, she hesitated for less than a second before jumping back into school before they could see her. Without stopping, she headed in the opposite direction. She jumped out from the garbage pit. Because she knew that her brother wouldnt let anyone guard this ce. Her brother thought she was too delicate to even approach a garbage pit. Chapter 297: 273: Olivia Lane is Taken Away Chapter 297: 273: Olivia Lane is Taken Away
Trantor:549690339 Behind the schools waste disposal, across a road, there was a forest park. Moreover, it was the backside of the forest park, rarely visited by anyone.
Only asionally would vehicles pass by, but during this time, there were very few vehicles. After Olivia Lane left the school, she put the folded test papers from her jacket pocket into her pants pocket, took off her school uniform jacket, and carried it in her hand. She walked along the road for a while, thinking it would take some time to reach the main road, so she stopped and waited in ce, directly calling a car with her cell phone. Someone quickly epted the order, but it would take eight minutes to arrive. Olivia Lane was a bit anxious, unable to stand still by the side of the road. Her hand hanging by her side kept touching the test papers in her pocket. Two minutester, a business car with a sudden brake stopped in front of her. Olivia Lane frowned and subconsciously stepped back two steps defensively. Then another business car stopped behind it. The doors of both cars opened, and ten men in ck came out. Olivia Lane put her hand in her pants pocket and looked at them: What are you doing? The man leading the group had a scar near the end of his left eyebrow. He smiled and said, Miss Lane, pleasee with us.
Where? Olivia Lane unlocked her phone in her pocket, swiped the screen to the front, and after swiping several times and making sure it was on the main screen, she roughly pressed the call icon position. She randomly dialed a number. We will ensure Miss Lanes safety, the man said. Facing these ten people, Olivia Lane was very clear that she couldnt win, but her voice showed no fear, only a cold fierceness: I can go with you, but I need to know who sent you. She timed her words well, speaking the moment the call connected, masking the faint sounding from the phone. The rk Family. Olivia Lane narrowed her eyes, quickly realizing that it must be Henry rk. Henry must be trying to use her to threaten the Lane Family and stir up trouble, making the Lane and rk families into enemies. Henry would seize the opportunity to take over the rk Family. Henry rk sent you? Olivia Lane casually reported her location, He put in some effort, even finding me behind the schools waste disposal. As long as the Lane Family cooperates, we will not harm a single hair on Miss Lanes head. Olivia Lane sneered inwardly. Guarantee her safety
Provoking conflict between the Lane and rk Families, the simplest and most direct method, would be to nder the rk Family for killing her. No matter if the Lane Family would fall for it in the end. If turning her into a corpse is a feasible method, they will definitely take the risk and carry it out. Guarantee her safety, does she look like a two-year-old to them? Olivia Lane clenched the school jacket in her other hand, though victory seemed unlikely, she had to try. Maybe she could escape, and she had to buy some time. On the other side, in the ceremony hall, Felix Bakers lecture had already begun. Daisy Zanes seat was near the front, and it was easy for Felix to see her. Moreover, ten minutes into the lecture, he felt that she was the only one in the whole hall staring at him. She, a person sitting at the bottom of the stage, had an aura that intimidated him, who was on the stage. Felix appeared confident on the stage, like a shining star in the eyes his audience. Who could know that he was unnerved by her gaze. Daisy Zane wore her school uniform, leaning back in her seat. Even though she was in a rxed position, she still looked proper. Usually, she would sit properly and stand properly. Now, with the school uniform, she looked more obedient, and also slightly childish and naive.
Of course, all this was under the assumption of ignoring her strong aura. As she listened quietly, her phone suddenly vibrated, so she took it out and took a look. Seeing Amelie Quentin, Daisy Zane quirked an eyebrow. The girl was skipping ss. They had exchanged contact information justst night during evening self-study. Daisy Zane put on her Bluetooth headset and answered the call softly, asking, What happened? But as she asked, she heard Olivia Lanes voice: Im willing to go with you, but I need to know who sent you. The voice was very soft and a little fuzzy, as the phone wasnt close to her mouth. The smile on Daisy Zanes lips vanished in an instant, and ayer of cold ice quickly took over her eyes. She nced at George Dunn: Unlock the phone and give me the password. Scared by her demeanor, George Dunn didnt dare ask questions. He immediately unlocked the phone, told her the password, and handed it over. After grabbing the phone, Daisy Zane removed her headset and tossed it onto her seat. She immediately stood up, not bothering to bend down, and left the Ceremony Hall straight away. As she walked out, she dialed Holt Lawrences number on George Dunns phone. As soon as the call connected, Daisy Zane reported Olivia Lanes mobile number to Holt Lawrence: Dont hang up. Locate her immediately. However, without Holts positioning, Daisy heard Olivia report her own location. She immediately asked a nearby cleaning aunt about the location of the garbage pit and rushed in that direction. Fight sounds gradually came through her earpiece, and the coldness and killing intent in Daisys eyes grew heavier. At the same time, Holts voice came through the other phone: The phone has a barrier. Locating will take time. Daisy replied as she ran, Check all the surveince near the school, especially the west side near Forest Park. A neen-year-old girl, beautiful, wearing a school uniform. Understood. Daisy Zane rushed to the area at her fastest speed, but the school was toorge. When she was still nearly a hundred meters from the garbage pit, Olivia Lane cursed twice in her ear, and the call was cut off. At the same time, Holt had received news. The security camera on the west side of the school shows two business cars had just taken away a girl wearing school uniform pants. Ill send it to your phone. Send to my phone. Daisy Zane, gasping for breath, quickly thought for a moment and started running towards the school entrance where the drama crew was. There were cars there, and it was the shortest distance for her to chase from the school. Keep an eye on those two cars at all costs. Ill take responsibility if anything goes wrong. Send out all the people you can spare to track them down. Yes, sir, Holt Lawrence responded. Daisy Zane nced at the video sent by Holt and confirmed it was Olivia Lane. She had been dragged into the car, but it was unclear if she had been hurt. Daisy Zane quickly went to the school entrance but saw Felix Bakers driver before she saw the program crew members. To be precise, she first saw Felix Bakers pure ck Bugatti. It was too noticeable parked in the school. Daisy Zane walked straight for the car. She knew Felix Baker rarely drove himself and would usually bring a driver, even for a sports car. When Daisy Zane saw the driver, she said directly, Give me the car key, I need to borrow the car. Ive already talked to Felix Baker. The driver had been with Felix Baker for many years and naturally recognized Daisy Zane. He also knew how close Felix Baker and Daisy Zane were. And it was the first time he had seen her so anxious, cold, and ruthless, with a terrifying aura. Frightened by her, the driver subconsciously handed her the car key. Daisy Zane got into the drivers seat and buckled her seat belt. As she drove out of the parking space, she called Harton rk and told him Olivia Lane had been taken away. After hanging up, she had already driven the car out of the school. George Dunns phone was still on the call with Holt Lawrence, never hung up. Daisy Zane asked while driving, Tell me the location. After saying that, she held the steering wheel with one hand, shifted gears with the other, and stepped on the gas pedal to speed off. People at the entrance stared at the Bugatti that suddenly shot out: !!!???!!! Chapter 298 - 274: I Admit Defeat Chapter 298: Chapter 274: I Admit Defeat Trantor: 549690339 Enamel, Olivia Lane has been taken away by Henry rk again. After receiving the phone call from Daisy Zane, Arthur North grabbed his car keys and walked outside while calling Hugo rk. As soon as his words were finished, he heard the sound of something being smashed on the ground from the cell phone. After leaving the office, Arthur North nced at Michael Jackson and Juan Wright outside. The two immediately understood, and they followed him as soon as they put down their work. Arthur North asked Hugo: Does she have any other positioning devices besides her cell phone? Relying solely on traffic surveince, its easy to lose track of a vehicle. So, Arthur North asked this question. Yes. Olivia Lane had been wearing a ne with a longevity lock since thest time she was taken away by Henry rk. Hugo had secretly installed a positioning device in the longevity lock when she was asleep. However, he never checked her location. After installing the device, it could help to prevent her from encountering any danger. Notify the Lanes, Arthur North said, Ill have Michael Jackson and Juan Wright send a team as well. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Arthur North had exited the elevator and arrived at the parking lot. He quickly walked to his parking space while saying, Both of you, take your teams to meet up with Hugo and ask for the positioning info. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright: Yes. After responding, the two quickly left. Arthur North immediately got in his car and, after fastening his seatbelt, started location sharing with Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane quickly epted on her end, Arthur North looked at her moving speed and frowned, right away driving out of the parking lot. On Daisy Zanes end, she was constantly on the phone with Holt Lawrence, who guided her through traffic surveince and nned the shortest, fastest route for her. Nana, turn left at the traffic light intersection ahead and enter the side road. Theres a traffic jam on the road ahead, Holt Lawrence said. Daisy Zane looked ahead, her expression cold and her eyes frosty. She gripped the steering wheel with one hand, while her other hand remained on the gearshift. When she reached the traffic light intersection, she gently turned the steering wheel and instantly entered the side road. Nana, two more suspicious vehicles have appeared. They just came from the direction of the school and are driving fast. It looks like theyre chasing the business car ahead of you, Holt said as he stared at more than a dozen screens in front of him, keeping watch on the vehicles and traffic surveince while tracking Daisy Zanes location and operating severalputers. It should be the Lanes who were stationed near the school who got the news: It should be the Lanes. The Lanes? That girl is Olivia Lane. Holt Lawrence took an obvious breath: I just checked, the license tes of these two vehicles are both fake. I couldnt verify their identities. Edward Kirsten. After these three words, Daisy Zanes expression grew even colder. Holt Lawrence also fell silent for a moment. But there was no time for further questions, so he just continued to give her directions. Daisy Zanes driving speed remained high, and she soon bypassed the traffic jam and returned to the main road from the side road. Three minutester, Holt Lawrence saw them on the same road through the surveince camera. However, since they were quite far apart, Daisy Zane was temporarily unable to see the vehicles ahead. Nana, Ive found a positioning device thats synced with the two vehicles ahead. And Holt Lawrence tapped on the keyboard for a while, Hugo rk shared this location. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled, Arthur North had deliberately not informed her: Send it to me. Okay. Holt Lawrence immediately sent her the position, paused for a moment, and then warned, Nana, Edward Kirstens people may not know its you in the car. They will soon find out. Be careful. Daisy Zane responded softly, showing no concern, and pressed the elerator again. This stretch of road was wide and empty, with only the asional one or two cars passing by. So, Daisy Zane stepped on the gas pedal fully and pursued. The location of Gathering Joy School was a bit off, and the two vehicles were heading outbound, heading toward the suburbs. No matter if its Arthur North starting from the Easton Group, the Lane Family and rk Family members making moves, or the people sent by Holt Lawrence, they were all quite far away. Kevin rk looked at the position on his cell phone, seeing Daisy Zanes speed getting faster and faster, and she was getting closer and closer to Olivia Lanes location. He grew more and more anxious, his face darker and darker, constantly speeding up his car. Over at Daisy Zanes side, as Holt Lawrence had mentioned, the two business cars in front quickly noticed that she was following them. Immediately, one of them slowed down, and the other one sped up. In less than a minute, Daisy Zane caught up with the business car. Just as Daisy Zane was about to overtake it, the business car swerved directly towards her. Daisy Zanes car was going at a very high speed; if she hadnt anticipated their intentions early on, the direct collision would have turned her car into scrap metal. She shifted gears, slowed down, and turned the steering wheel. The Bugatti spun nearly 270 degrees, moving from the right rear side of the business car to its left rear side. But the business car reacted just as quickly, reversing and attempting to ram into her again. Daisy Zane also immediately shifted into reverse, speeding backward and avoiding the impact. However, without wasting even a second, she switched gears again and stepped on the elerator, crashing directly into the rear of the business car. The impact was powerful, causing Daisy Zanes body to lurch forward due to inertia, but she quickly leaned back into her seat. The business car was hit and spun 90 degrees. Daisy Zane didnt want to get entangled with them, so she reversed her car again, intending to continue chasing Olivia Lane. But the business car once again blocked her path, seemingly intent on hitting her again. Daisy Zanes eyes seemed bloodthirsty, her lips pressed together and her cold gaze piercing. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she shifted gears and reversed. Perceiving her intentions, Holt Lawrence quickly spoke up, Nana! The Lanes are right behind you, theyll be here soon. You dont need to take the risk. However, the business car straightened up, its front facing Daisy Zane, as if prepared for a head-on collision. Daisy Zane didnt listen to what Holt Lawrence said, gripping the steering wheel and stepping on the elerator. The Bugatti roared, shooting out like the wind. The opposing business car also started moving, its speed very fast as well. The two cars seemed to be on a collision course for mutual destruction, but the business car was ying psychological warfare, betting that Daisy Zane would slow down and dodge at thest moment. Just as the two cars were about to collide at breakneck speed, Daisy Zane did indeed turn the steering wheel, switching gears at the same time. The business car thought they had judged correctly, but as Daisy Zane dodged, they tried to ram into her again. However, the Bugatti spun on the spot as it dodged, its tires screeching against the ground and raising a cloud of smoke. The business car turned its steering wheel but failed to hit the Bugatti at all. Instead, it was the Bugatti that swung its rear and forcefully struck the business car with its body. The sound of the ground being scraped, the cars roaring, and the massive impact seemed to tear a hole in the air, assaulting peoples eardrums Due to the high speed and the change of direction, the Bugattis swing added force to the business cars movement, causing it to roll over on its side. Daisy Zanes judgment was precise, without even a second or a millimeter of error. She had the skill and the confidence to do it. Holt Lawrence had been holding his breath from the moment he saw her car speed up, watching through the surveince video. It wasnt until he saw that she was unharmed, her car still drivable, and that she had flipped over the business car and chased after the one in front that he finally exhaled heavily. His heart raced uncontrobly, and even his hands were shaking. It took him a while before he said, Nana, Im truly impressed by you. Throughout the entire process, Daisy Zanes expression hadnt changed, and she didnt even blink once. Having flipped the other car, she simply continued chasing the one in front Chapter 299 - 275 Chapter 299: Chapter 275 Trantor: 549690339 Because they were entangled for a while, Daisy Zane and the business car ahead had pulled a long distance apart. After reaching the suburbs, there was no more surveince, and Holt Lawrence couldnt see anything. Daisy Zane could only follow Daisys position. And they had driven along a very uneven road. The ground clearance of the car she drove was too low, and the bottom was scraping along that section of the road. It wasnt until almost ten minutester that she drove the car to a deste area, where she finally saw the business car. This ce was overgrown with weeds and deste. Holt Lawrence looked at their moving position, checked the map and said, There is an abandoned factory one kilometer ahead, they might have set people up in there. This meant to tell Daisy Zane that it would be best to stop the car before reaching the factory. So Daisy Zane caught up with the car, hit it three times, and forced it to stop. When the business car stopped, Daisy immediately looked outside. Before she was taken in the car, her cell phone had been thrown into a roadside sewer. She had not seen who she had called for help at all. So when she saw Daisy Zane getting out of that broken-down Bugatti, Daisy felt that the scene in front of her had lost its color. It was even worse than her being kidnapped just now. When the people in the car saw a girl in a school uniform getting out, they allughed. They evenpletely forgot that they had just left a car to intercept someone and failed to do so. Daisy red at them and then struggled with her tied hands, but they didnt budge. Angry, she kicked the nearby seat. The leading man opened the car door, and all five men got out. Daisy hesitated for a moment and followed them out. The men didnt take Daisy Zane seriously, so they didnt refuse to let Daisy get out and let her follow. Daisy Zane walked past a few men, and her gaze fell directly on Daisy. After checking her for a moment and seeing that she had no injuries, she rxed a little. When Daisy saw her, her eyes turned red with urgency, and she yelled, Why did youe! Hearing her speak, Daisy Zanes stern expression softened, and she raised an eyebrow, Miss, you called me. You Daisy stomped her foot and didnt want to talk anymore. When they finished talking, the leading man smiled and said, Miss, you brought this upon yourself. Its not our fault. Daisy Zanes gaze moved from Daisy to the man who had just spoken, and the hint of a smile in her eyes disappeared instantly. Shes quite pretty, another man suddenly said, looking at Daisy Zane. Her figure seems to be pretty good too. Daisy heard his words and immediately kicked the man from behind. Tripping, the man cursed and turned to re at Daisy, his eyes filled with maliciousness. And just as he got close to Daisy, Daisy Zane looked up at him and stepped forward to fight him. Her movements were too fast and harsh, and the five men didnt even have time to react. Seeing the situation, the driver of the car quickly took out a knife and got out. Daisy also stood still, watching as Daisy Zane, wrapped in a murderous aura, took down five men in less than two minutes. At that moment, the driver thrust the knife toward her back. Daisys eyes widened, and she shouted, Daisy Zane! At the same time as she spoke, Daisy Zane sidestepped and lifted her leg, kicking the driver in the stomach and sending him flying. She went over, took the knife from his hand, and kicked him again, sending him rolling some distance away, ttening the grass nearby. Daisy Zane walked back to Daisy and cut the rope that bound her hands. Are you injured? Daisy Zane looked at her scratched wrist and asked with a frown. Olivia Lane turned to look at her, but did not speak. Daisy Zane nced at her and smiled. She then took a piece of paper from her pocket and wiped the blood on the back of her hand. Her hands were stained with blood when she smashed their faces with her fists just now. She lowered her eyes to clean the blood, removed her school uniform and draped it over Olivia Lane, asking, Scared? Fearing she had frightened her, she had kept it in check. Olivia Lane continued to look at her: You Before she could finish, the faint sound of an approaching vehicle came from the front, more than one car. Earlier, before the factory worker took action, he had informed the others at the factory. This was an easily anticipated move for Daisy Zane. Organizations like theirs must have a unique means ofmunication. Whether a watch or a button, press it or destroy it, and their people will get the message and locate them. Its unclear how many people are in the factory, but to deal with the rk and Lane Families, they must have had arge force. So, Daisy Zane wasnt in a hurry to leave with Olivia Lane either. Because both the Bugatti she was driving, and the business car she had forced to stop, are now useless. Olivia Lane nced ahead, while Daisy Zane pushed her into the car. What are you doing? Olivia Lane asked as she looked at her. Daisy Zane got in the car, rummaged through it, and found a gun. She checked the magazine, which was full, and handed it to Olivia Lane: You know how to use it, right? Olivia Lane touched the gun and nodded. Take it for self-defense. What about you? Daisy Zane shook the knife in her hand: This is a suburban area, and they have many people. Closebat is their first choice. They wont use guns unless its absolutely necessary. It makes too much noise. As she spoke, the sound of vehicles stopping nearby could be heard, one after another. Then came the sound of car doors opening, people getting out, and doors closing. Daisy Zane nced outside and rubbed Olivia Lanes head, saying, Dont be afraid. Your Third Uncle, Brother Enamel, as well as your family, should all be on their way. Fearing that Daisy Zane would leave the car, Olivia Lane grabbed her wrist: How long till they arrive? Before getting out of the car, Daisy Zane checked the location of Kevin rk and thought about it, saying, Within 5 minutes. That long? Henry rk and the others have timed the distance well. This ce is far away from the Lane and rk Families and even from the police station. They are already very fast. Daisy Zane patted her hand, Dont worry, stay here. Lock the car door. Listening to her, Olivia Lane held Daisy Zanes hand, squeezing hard, Ill follow you. Daisy Zane looked at her and suddenly noticed her panic. This panic seemed not toe from fear of the people outside the car but from a deep, hidden wound. Olivia Lane also felt her reaction was excessive, she licked her lips and said, I, I dont think its safe in the car. While you are fighting with them, they may try to pry the door open from the other side. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow; there was indeed a possibility, so she said, Follow behind me. Okay. Olivia Lane nodded. There were many people outside, and their position was directly surrounded. They were cautious and careful as they approached their location. The two got out of the car, and everyone immediately stopped and stared at them. Their expressions were extremely serious, but when they saw there were only two young girls, their tension instantly dissipated. How could these two girls, however capable, pummel so many of them to the ground? Daisy Zane wore loose white half-sleeves, with her school uniform pants on the bottom and a high ponytail. Her clear, tender skin looked very refreshing. However, her aura made her a one-woman army. Those upturned phoenix eyes were like a cold, snowy winter, chilling to the bone. She lowered her eyes to weigh the knife in her hand, then looked up at the people in front. In the depths of her eyes, besides the cold, murderous intent, there was excitement. She really hadnt seen so many people to fight in a long time. Chapter 300: 276: Injured Chapter 300: 276: Injured
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zanes fighting skills were extremely fierce, not just because of her strength and fierceness, but also her impressive endurance, well-suited for prolongedbat. They were surrounded on all sides. Daisy couldnt stay in ce and allow herself and Olivia Lane to bepletely encircled and killed.
So, she grabbed Olivia and broke through the encirclement, while making sure that Olivia wasnt touched by anyone. Although Olivia wasnt a strong fighter, she maximized her assistance abilities under Daisys powerfulbat prowess. The young miss had great courage and showed no mercy. She didnt hinder Daisy in any way, but actually provided some assistance. It seemed that she had received some professionalbat training, although it might not have been very rigorous, considering she was a precious daughter at home, and nobody would allow her to suffer. As soon as Daisy broke through the encirclement, she immediately pulled Olivia behind her. She could be said to have grabbed Olivias arm and thrown her directly behind her. Surrounding them were weeds, some of which were as tall as half a person. The ground was uneven with pits and small stones scattered about. Daisy held a dagger in her hand, her arms and half-sleeve stained with blood, and some sttered onto her face as well. Her originally cold demeanor was tainted a shade of bloodiness. She retreated with Olivia while clearly understanding that their numerous opponents could easily encircle them again. And five minutes had already passed. Those from the Lane family following Olivia hadnt arrived.
Indeed, before getting out of the car, she had looked at Kevin rks position but falsely told Olivia they would be there in five minutes just tofort her. Only the two Lane family cars following Olivia could have made it within five minutes. There must have been an incident on the road. When getting out of the car, Daisy found George Dunns cellphone in her uniform pocket and threw it in the car, severing contact with Holt Lawrence. Olivia looked at Daisy from behind. It was like seeing a person she had just met that day. She had always thought Daisy was just cold and unapproachable, but always kind to her, even speaking softly. Now she realized that Daisy seemed to have a truly cold heart. Facing such a crowd, her eyes did not blink as she knocked down one opponent after another. It was as if she were a devil crawled up from hell, evil and sinful, as if this was her true nature. The smell of blood was so intense that for an instant, one could not sense the breath of a living person.
Can you shoot urately? Daisy suddenly asked, Have you ever shot someone? Not bad. Olivia replied indifferently, Havent shot anyone, but I can give it a try. Daisy nced at her coldly and said with a fleeting smile, Give me the gun. The young misss hand should remain clean. Olivia didnt question further and simply handed her the gun. Since getting out of the car, Olivia had hardly said a word. She followed Daisys instructions obediently. She knew the five minutes had passed and no one hade. But she did not question, nor did she add confusion to Daisys situation. The opponents in front were slowly approaching while those at the back were clearly nning to encircle them again. Daisy loaded the gun and held it in one hand while holding Olivias hand with the other, observing the surrounding situation. Olivia also took a look around and then was momentarily stunned as she spotted a small mountain slope a few hundred meters away. Having experienced Daisys prowess, their opponents had now be very serious and cautious. The stalemate between the two partiessted a while before the leader of the opposing party suddenly uttered themand: Take action.
His troops quickly moved forward while those at the back tried to surround Daisy and Olivia once more. As soon as she heard the word action, Olivia nced at the mountain slope again. From a distance of several hundred meters, and on a mountain slope covered with grass, they could not see anything clearly. But she seemed to see the grass being brushed aside, instinctively protecting Daisy Zane with her body, and pushed her aside a few steps. Daisy didnt expect her to suddenly push her; originally, she nned to pull Olivia Lane away to avoid the attackers in front. But she was caught off guard and staggered a few steps when she was pushed. Both of them were sent under the others iron rod. Furthermore, Olivia Lane was wrapped around her. Just as the iron rod was about to fall onto Olivia Lane, Daisy could only turn around and use her hand to cover Olivias head. With Daisys left hand protecting Olivias head, the iron rod hit her hand and forearm directly. The force was great, numbing Daisys entire arm. However, she still managed to grab the iron rod and kick the attacker away with her foot first. The kicked attacker knocked down several others behind him as well. Daisy Zane. Olivia Lane looked up at her. With the iron rod in her hand and a gun in the other, Daisy could only raise her arm to block Olivia and the two retreated a few steps together. When the iron rod fell, it separated Olivia from the rod by just an arms length. Naturally, she felt it and heard a muffled sound which was only produced by a heavy force. After standing up, Olivia looked at Daisys trembling hand that was holding the iron rod. Her forearm, index and middle fingers were swollen: How are you? Im fine. Other than Daisys face turning pale and her voice colder, there seemed to be no noticeable difference. She handed the iron rod to Olivia, Hold it. Olivia obediently took it, whispering, Im sorry, I thought there was a sniper on the hillside. Its okay. Daisy poked her face with her hand, Follow behind me. After saying that, she looked at the people ahead, her expression colder, like a wolf ready to tear someone apart at any moment. It was at this moment that the sounds of vehicles reached everyones ears. Before anyone could react, a Maybach charged in. Daisy nced at the car; it was Kevin rks. The people who were about to encircle them instinctively moved to the sides. And the car did not stop; after rushing in, it circled around Daisy and Olivia, dispersing the people nearby. It then circled around them twice more, each time widening the gap. Kevins car was fast, not giving anyone time to react or get close again. The car forcefully drove the group of people more than ten meters away. Surrounding grass was all ttened, and dry soil flew up. At the same time, more cars arrived. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen cars drove up, stopping at a distance of about ten meters away from Daisy and Olivia. It was the same distance that Kevin had driven them away earlier. It was like a barrier, protecting the two in the middle. Kevins car stopped about two meters away from Daisy. The car door opened, and Kevin rk got out. He wore ck trousers and a ck shirt, looking tall and slender. Wrapped in an oppressive aura, he appeared both mysterious and dangerous. After getting out of the car, his eyes immediately fell on Daisy. It was as if everything else disappeared, and he walked straight towards Daisy. Standing in front of Daisy, Kevin wiped the dried blood off her face with his hand, then looked at her arm: Are you hurt? Kevins voice was cold and hoarse, as if he still suppressed his inner brutality. Olivia Lane was immediately frightened, lowering her head and holding her breath. On the contrary, Daisys voice was calm, as if she had just lost a strand of hair: Its okay, just bumped it by ident. Chapter 301: 277: Old Wound Chapter 301: 277: Old Wound
Trantor:549690339 Many people from both the rk Court and the Lane Family hade. Over a dozen cars protected Daisy Zane and Amelie Quentin in the middle, while more vehicles surrounded the outsiders directly.
Both sides started fighting quickly. Arthur North didnt bother about anything and took Daisy Zane to their car. Before Daisy Zane was taken away, she pulled Amelie Quentin with her left hand. In an instant, Arthur North stopped and said softly, Dont force it. His voice was quiet, but filled with authority. Amelie Quentin immediately let go of Daisy Zanes hand and said, Ill get in the car myself. After saying that, she quickly got into the car first. Arthur North held Daisy Zanes right hand, led her to the copilot side, opened the car door, let her in, and even helped her fasten her seat belt. Then he walked back to the drivers seat. Daisy Zane watched his actions, pursed her lips, thinking that she wasnt disabled. Hugo rk came over immediately as well, and before Arthur North started the car, he opened the back door and got in quickly.
As the car started, Hugo rk held Amelie Quentins shoulder and looked her up and down, Are you hurt anywhere? Amelie Quentin looked up at Hugo rk, feeling for the first time a desire to depend on him. She shook her head and then looked at Daisy Zanes arm. Hugo rk examined almost every hair on Amelie Quentins head and saw that she was really not hurt at all. Then he followed her gaze to Daisy Zanes arm. Daisy Zanes hand was on her leg, and the back of her hand and both her index and middle fingers were swollen. Her forearm was also swollen, red, and swollen. Her originally fair and slender arm now looked like a red steamed bun. Hugo rk frowned, nced at Daisy Zanes arm, and then nced at Arthur Norths back. No wonder there was a cold air enveloping the car, making it feel chilling. He nced at Amelie Quentin again and saw her staring at Daisy Zanes arm all the time. He probably guessed the situation by now. She was likely injured while protecting Amelie Quentin. He touched Amelie Quentins head, then held her hand in his palm,forting her. All of Amelie Quentins thoughts were on Daisy Zane, and her senses were fading away. She didnt even feel Hugo rks hand, so she didnt move.
The car quickly drove back, and when it reached the particrly difficult road section, Many vehicles came head-on. Arthur North stopped the car and watched the vehiclesing towards them. Hugo rk also looked ahead, his expression darkened, and said in a low voice, Do they have reinforcements? No. Daisy Zane unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Arthur North furrowed his brows and immediately followed her. Hugo rk also got out of the car, but since Amelie Quentin was inside, he didnt go far. As Daisy Zane got out of the car, she stood at the front of the car. After the approaching cars got closer, she made a U-turn gesture, telling them all to go back. Amelie Quentin leaned on the car window, watching Daisy Zane stand in front of the car, her left hand hanging down, and her right hand making a gesture. It was both cool and handsome. In an instant, the car in front stopped, and the others stopped one after another. Two people in ck clothes got out of the front car, and it was not clear whose people they were. They bowed respectfully to Daisy Zane from a distance. Then they stood by the car, like guards.
This meant that they would let Daisy Zane and the others go first. Hugo rk raised his eyebrows in surprise, wondering about the origin of his auntie Amelie Quentins eyes widened too, as she would have to reevaluate this person. Arthur North, however, remained calm and his gaze stayed on Daisy Zane. He was no longer surprised by such events. Seeing that they understood her intentions, Daisy Zane nced at Arthur North and whispered, Lets go. Arthur North didnt say anything, waited for her to get back in the car, and then returned to the drivers seat. He started the car and drove away. In the car, Daisy Zane checked the time, it was almost twelve oclock. She sent a message to Director Nash first, exining the situation and telling him that she could return in the afternoon. Then she sent a message to Felix Baker, telling him that she owed him a car. The Bugattis front, back, left, right, and even the chassis were all wrecked. She couldnt bear to tell Felix Baker the terrible state of the car, so she simply said she would repay him by buying a new one. Afterward, she also informed Holt Lawrence that she was safe. On the way, Kevin rk did not say a word, just asionally looking at Daisy Zane. Except for Daisy Zane texting single-handedly, there was no one talking in the car. Even breathing was nowhere to be heard. It was oppressively quiet. So after driving for a while, Daisy Zane rolled down the car window. The car drove directly to the hospital entrance, and as soon as it stopped, Kevin rk unbuckled Daisy Zanes seat belt first. Daisy Zanes hand paused just as she was about to undo her seat belt: . At the hospital, Daisy Zanes arm and back of her hand were examined, but the swelling was so severe that it was impossible to tell by touch if there was any damage to the bones. So the doctor suggested they take an X-ray to see. Upon hearing about the X-ray, Daisy Zane, who had been unresponsive and expressionless even when the doctor touched her arm, suddenly furrowed her brows: No need. Kevin rk, who had looked unwell ever since, looked at her. Hugo rk and Olivia Lane quietly watched her from the side as well. The doctor said, Without an X-ray, its impossible to determine the condition of the bones. If there is damage to the bones, the sooner you treat it, the better, otherwise you will be left with seriousplications. My bones are fine. Daisy Zane lowered her hands, Just need to reduce the swelling. Listen to the doctor. Kevin rk looked at her with downcast eyes. His voice was so cold that he sounded like an emotionless robot, and the pressure in his eyes bore down directly on Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked up at him too, sensing that he was trying to control his temper and softening his tone, because back in the Doomsday Hotel, he had told her No matter the reason, no harshnguage or losing temper is eptable. So he had been controlling himself. The two stared at each other. Hugo rk and Olivia Lane both stepped back a bit, as pretty much only Daisy Zane could withstand the terrifying aura of their Third Uncle (Kevin rk). Even the doctors face changed when he saw this. After staring at each other for a while, Daisy Zane finally loosened up and made an excuse: Theres radiation. The doctor swallowed, rubbing his hands together, You two are trying to conceive? Daisy Zane: No. Kevin rk answered coldly, Prescribe some medicine. Okay, okay. As the doctor prescribed the medication, he said, There is some radiation, so you should be cautious during intercourse during this period. Daisy Zane: Watching Kevin rk and Daisy Zane, and hearing the doctors words, Olivia Lanes little face gradually turned red. Hugo rk tilted his head, noticed her ears were about to turn bright red, and smiled with upturned lips. In the end, Daisy Zane was still dragged by Kevin rk to take an X-ray. After taking the X-ray, theputer at the doctors office uploaded it, so they didnt have to wait for the film, and the four went back to the doctors office again. When they returned, Daisy Zane hesitated obviously at the door of the clinic before she entered. She took a seat while the other three stood. The doctor scrolled the mouse, examining the X-ray image on theputer. After a moment, he asked, Is this an old injury? Daisy Zanes right fingertips curled up, and she remained silent. Hearing what the doctor said, Kevin rks fingertips trembled and the stabbing pain in his heart intensified. That was why she had resisted taking an X-ray. There are no problems with the bones in your arm, fingers, and back of the hand. said the doctor, All five finger bones have old fractures, but the surgery was very sessful and delicate. Its just that the index finger isminuted Doctor, just prescribe some medicine. Daisy Zane interrupted him. Her voice was cold, bitterly cold. The doctor was taken aback by her tone, realizing that he seemed to have picked at someones wounds, so he immediately stopped talking: Alright, alright, Ill prescribe the medication. Chapter 302 - 278: What else do you want… Chapter 302: Chapter 278: What else do you want Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zanes arms and hands were patched with swelling and pain relief patches, which were wrapped in anotheryer of bandages. The bandages were wrapped from her lower arm to her fingertips, leaving only her ring finger, little finger, and thumb exposed outside. Afterwards, the doctor had also prescribed some ointments. Most of the medications at the First Hospital were supplied by the Research Institute, so they were all very effective. Change it every 24 hours, the doctor said, Clean it with alcohol first, apply this and then this, then stick these, and bandage it. Every one, except Daisy Zane was listening earnestly. Even Hugo rk was taking notes intently while Daisy, on the other hand, found it all troublesome. It was capable of reducing its own swelling. Why did it have to be soplicated? Having gotten the medicines, the four of them didnt even leave the consulting room. It was the doctor who went back to his office. The First Hospital is a private hospital, backed by the rk and Lane Family. So when they arrived, they directly came from the parking lot via an exclusively assigned elevator. The doctor had been called over as well. From examination to getting medications, the four of them didnt encounter anyone else except the doctor and nurses. After the doctor left, Harton rk wiped the blood off Daisy Zane with wet wipes. Holding her face, he gently wiped off the blood traces from her face with utmost care. Daisy Zane lifted her head to see Harton rk. She saw him pursing his lips with a rather sickly pale face, looking down at her face but avoidant of her eyes. After a quiet while, when Hugo rk was nning to leave with Olivia Lane, Olivia suddenly moved a few steps forward, getting closer to Harton rk and Daisy Zane. Then she hung down her head and softly said, Third Uncle, Im sorry. Daisy Zane turned her head to look at her, but Harton rk corrected her turned head: Olivia Lane continued, She got hurt because she was protecting me. Harton rk didnt even look at Olivia Lane and bluntly said, No need to exin it to me; exin yourself to your brother. Why were you skipping school and why did you necessarily have to shake off the people who are following you? Olivia Lanes lower lips quivered. Think about it. Because of your wilfulness, how much trouble you brought to others, Harton rks voice was steady, but it still felt like a knife repeatedly cutting into the tender flesh, just like blood-spraying torment. Hugo rk walked up to Olivia Lane and gently guided her towards himself. However, he didnt dare to make a sound. His third uncle was angry. He dared not lose his temper at his wife, and he was already polite to Olivia Lane, a young girl. But if he were to make a sound, he would be the one bearing the brunt of the anger. So he could only provide some sce for Olivia Lane. Harton rk nced at Hugo rk from the corner of his eyes, ready to continue his lecture, but Daisy Zane kicked his shoe, forcing him to swallow back his words. Harton rk: Daisy Zane took Harton rks hand off her face, held it in hers, and gave it a squeeze. She then looked at Olivia Lane and said, Since you feel so guilty, you can buy me dinner during my recording sessions. Hugo rk: Harton rk didnt desire to say a word, just looking down at Daisy Zane, who was holding his hand. Okay. Olivia Lane gently responded. You agreed so easily? Daisy Zane chuckled. Yes. Daisy Zane let go of Harton rks hand, pinched Olivia Lanes face, Lets go to eat. Theres no need to apany me here. Harton rk looked at his abandoned hand: I Just as Olivia Lane was about to say something, Hugo rk grabbed her arm, interrupting her and saying, Third Uncle, well leave now. After saying this, he gratefully nodded towards Daisy Zane, before leading Olivia away. Daisy Zane watched Hugo rk grasp Olivias hand, squinting her eyes. Meanwhile, Arthur North twisted her head back to face him. However, he doesnt look into her eyes. Instead, he casually hooked over a chair with his foot, sat down, and then wiped the blood off her hand. Daisy Zane nced at his hand, before lightly kicking his shoe. Arthur Norths eyshes twitch slightly as he looks up at her. Daisy Zane couldnt help but smile at him, asking, Third Master, are you annoyed? Arthur North looked at her for a moment, leaned in to kiss her lips without saying a word. He carefully cleaned the blood off her arm and then grabbed her right hand, leading her to the parking lot. As they got in the car, Arthur North prepared to start the engine. Daisy Zane asked calmly, Where are we going? I have to go back and record a show this afternoon. The engine that was just starting up, abruptly died. Arthur North put the handbrake up and turned to look at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane also turned to him, paused and then said, My hand is just swollen What else do you expect? Arthur North spat out before he could control his tone. Daisy Zane blinked slightly but before she could speak, Arthur North immediately said, Im sorry. Both of them fell silent, the atmosphere in the car seemed to freeze, making it hard for them to breathe. After a moment, Daisy Zane reached out and held Arthurs hand which was resting on the handbrake. Her left hand was firmly bandaged, resting on top of his. She could only use her little finger and ring finger to grasp his hand. Arthur North instantly held onto those two fingers, whispering, Dont put too much force. Im really fine. Despite Daisy Zanes voice remaining cool, she deliberately sounded more gentle. The little girl thought there was a sniper on the mountain, so she protected me, thats why she was hurt. Arthur North watched her for a few seconds before undoing her seat belt. He then lifted her by the waist and set her onto hisp, even pulling her legs over his own. Daisy Zane initially tried to move away, but Arthur North held her waist, stopping her from moving. He looked into her eyes and said, Little girl. Try to trust me, rely on me, is that okay? Daisy Zane, having her right hand supported on his shoulder, didnt say anything. Today, with just one call, both the Lanes and rks could have been mobilised. Arthur Norths voice became deliberately softer, to the extent that it was hoarse. Why take the risk yourself? You were driving so fast, a single error could have Arthur North didnt finish his sentence. Daisy Zane had synched the surveince Holt Lawrence could see, to Arthur Norths systems. As such, what Holt Lawrence could see, Arthur North could as well. However, Arthur North did not know the origin of that surveince footage. While driving, he watched Daisy Zane on the surveince decide to ram into the business car. At that moment, Arthur North broke out in a cold sweat as he felt all his strength being drained. Mechanically, he continued to drive, getting closer to Daisy Zanes location. What Arthur North saw on the surveince and what Daisy Zane saw from her car were different angles, so he was even more worried. Because of this discrepancy, from his perspective on the surveince, it appeared Daisy Zane had steered toote. Only after Daisy Zanes car sessfully tipped the business car did Arthur North gradually regain his senses, realising his own heart was pounding. If there had been even the slightest error, Arthur North didnt dare toprehend what could have happened. Daisy Zane felt Arthur Norths arm tighten around her. The hand she had rested on his shoulder loosened a little as she said, Third Master, perhaps you could try trusting me more. Consider me an equal to you Chapter 303 - 279: Pampering You Chapter 303: Chapter 279: Pampering You Trantor: 549690339 In the cramped space of the car, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk locked eyes. Kevin looked at her stunning and confident eyes, and after a moment, raised the corner of his mouth, I was wrong. Little Girl was strong, he should trust her, they should stand on an equal footing, rather than put her at a disadvantage. At any time, I will prioritize my own safety. Daisys voice didnt waver much, but it was not hard to hear the promise she was making to Kevin. Hearing her words, Kevin felt a warm current flowing through his heart. That time at Doomsday Hotel, she said that she wouldnt joke about her life before her mission waspleted. And now she says she will prioritize her safety at all times. His Little Girl had seriously put him in her heart, thought on his behalf, and avoided worrying him. Kevins hand rested on her lower back, and he leaned in to kiss her lips. Daisy let him kiss her, then said, I never doubted you. Hm? Kevin raised his eyebrows in curiosity. Daisy hooked her finger under his chin and said, You arrived very fast. At that moment, Kevin wished he could fly to her side. Fortunately, the arms inspections in Imperial Capital have always been strict, and various channels have been scrutinizing both openly and secretly. Especially for outsiders like them, with over a hundred people, the number of guns they could carry would not exceed five. Moreover, once they fired, it would easily attract attention, so they would not shoot easily. Are you still angry? Daisy asked. Can I just ask directly? Kevin retorted. Otherwise? Kevin chuckled, If I said I was still angry, what would you do? Wait for you to calm down on your own. Kevin: Daisy looked at him calmly, speechless. After a while, Kevin pinched her cheek and said, Seeing you having a car ident and being injured made me feel both heartache and fear. If I didnt care about you, Id really want to hit you twice. Why are you so disobedient? Daisy raised her eyebrows. Although Kevin was smiling and his tone sounded normal and gentle, she could feel that he wasntpletely over the anger. Or perhaps, he was really scared. The incident hadntpletely sunk in for Kevin yet. But he was afraid of upsetting her, so he deliberately suppressed it. Daisy stared at him for a while, nced at the time on the cars disy, then leaned in again and kissed Kevin. Kevin raised an eyebrow, watching her closely. He looked at her closed eyes and trembling eyshes. Soon, Daisys hand covered his eyes. Kevinughed softly, stepped back a bit, pulled her hand down, and looked at her with a smile, Comforting me? Daisy looked at him, didnt say a word, and kissed him again. This time, as soon as they touched, Kevin took control. His hand tightened on her waist, pulling her into his embrace. His other hand on her back gradually pressed harder. It was as if he wanted to hold her tightly against his body. An amorous atmosphere surrounded them. Daisys left hand rested on his shoulder without exerting force, while her right hand clenched his shirt. From light clenching, it gradually exerted more force. After a while, Daisy let go of his shirt, her hand slipping down. Before Kevins touch sensed her hand, he heard the sound of her belts buckle popping open. Immediately, he gripped her hand, and his other hand released the pressure on Daisys back. His chest heaved lightly. Watching her, he said in a hoarse voice, Little Girl, what are you doing? With a glimmer of tears in her eyes, Daisy half-lowered her gaze toward Kevin, adjusted her breathing, and responded with two words, Pleasing you. Kevinughed softly, held her hand and kissed it, This method is a bit too precious. Arent you marrying me? Daisy leaned her forehead against his and said. Kevins Adams apple moved up and down, his breathing turned heavy. Kevin rk Daisy looked deeply into his eyes. I am yours. A zing fire lit up in Kevin rks heart, traveled through the blood all over his body, and scorched his brain. He instantly tightened his arms and kissed her deeply. Daisy Zane returned to the copilot seat, and the first thing she did was roll down the car window to let in fresh air. She looked outside the car window, clenching her palms. Kevin rk used wet wipes to clean her hands; after the coolness faded, there was only burning heat. Kevin rk straightened his wrinkled clothes, looked at her blushing ears, and didnt say anything else. He asked, Going back to the vi? Do you have a ce nearby? Daisy Zane asked. I have one. Go change your clothes, Daisy Zane said. Going back to the vi, Uncle Wilton will nag. I need to record a show, too. Mmm. Daisy Zane looked at him. Is that not okay? Can I say its not okay? You dont have the right to say its not okay anymore. Kevin rkughed: Be careful with your hand. Mmm. Kevin rk sent a message on his cell phone, asking someone to prepare lunch and buy clothes. He sent the clothing sizes and then started the car. Just as they pulled out of the parking space, Daisy Zane said, How about I drive? Hmm? Im afraid youll get tired. Kevin rk rubbed her head with his hand, Be good and dont be mischievous. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and subtly twisted her right wrist. She almost thought her hands would be crippled today Kevin rks ce is close to the First Courtyard, a European vi with arge area. It didnt seem like he visited often. When they arrived, someone was cooking in the kitchen, and the person who went to the nearest shopping mall to buy clothes hadnt returned yet. So after Daisy Zane took a bath, she put on Kevin rks clothes first. To make bathing easier, she removed all the bandages and pain relief patches. Why did you take them off? After his shower, Kevin rk changed his clothes, and his hair was still dripping water. How else am I supposed to bathe? Daisy Zane buttoned thest button on her shirt with one hand, Ill put them back on. Kevin rk fetched a towel from the restroom and wiped her hair. After her hair was half-dry, he carefully applied medicine, put on the pain relief patches, and bandages. After finishing, Daisy Zane praised, Not bad, better than the doctor. Kevin rkughed and reminded her, Remember to apply medicine when you go back to school. Be careful with everything. If it hurts, call me, and Ille to pick you up. Mmm. Lets go eat. The two went downstairs, and Daisy Zane wore Kevin rks clothes. She rolled up her pant legs and sleeves to her elbows. The clothes and pants were loose on her, concealing her original figure. Looking from behind, if one ignored her long hair, they might believe she was a boy. For a moment, Kevin rk thought her silhouette looked familiar. But before he could think further, Daisy Zane sat down at the dining table, and her gaze toward him interrupted his thoughts. The two sat down, and as the servant served food, they nced at Daisy Zane several times. Daisy Zane didnt mind and ate her meal slowly. After a while, she said, I suspect someone at the school is monitoring Lucia. She had always found it strange why the little girl, after jumping out of such a remote ce, was caught so quickly. Ive had someone looking into it, Kevin rk said. The people from the Lane family following Lucia have been intercepted halfway. No wonder she had been waiting for the Lane family, they might have been under surveince too. Chapter 304 - 280: Return to School Chapter 304: Chapter 280: Return to School Trantor: 549690339 Little girl, arent you being a little too nice to Olivia Lane? Kevin rk asked as he picked up a piece of food for her. Daisy Zane nced at him, I do like the youngdy quite a bit. You even drew a portrait for her. Kevin rk grumbled, I saw it while watching the videost night. Daisy Zane took a bite of celery and swallowed before saying, Why dont you finish watching the video tonight, and then decide what tone you should take when speaking to me. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, Do I get a share? Depends on my mood. After dinner, the clothes were just bought and returned. Daisy Zane changed clothes and asked Kevin rk to drive her back to school. On the way, they bought George Dunn a cellphone, with Kevin rk paying the bill. When they arrived at School, it was already a little past three oclock. The car stopped at the school entrance, and Daisy said Lets go while unbuckling her seat belt, trying to get out of the car, but Kevin rk stopped her. Kevin rks hand was on the back of her neck, pulling her gently towards him for a kiss. Daisy let him kiss her for a moment before pushing him away by pressing on his shoulder, I have a show to record. Kevin rk understood and kissed her lips twice more, Theres no swelling; its not noticeable. Daisy Zane: Kevin rk chuckled softly and pinched the back of her neck, Dont worry about anything outside, Ill take care of it. Enjoy your campus life. Alright. Off you go. Kevin rk watched Daisy Zanes retreating figure, the corner of his mouth hooked with a gentle, satisfied smile. After entering school, Daisy first returned to her dormitory to change into her school uniform, then went to the art building to record the show. The shooting director had already been waiting at the entrance of the art building. Seeing hering, he immediately handed her a mic to wear. But when he saw her hand, he was startled, What happened? It looks serious! Daisy exined to Director Nash that she had identally tripped and went to the hospital to get it treated. The swellings bad, but itll be fine in a couple of days, Daisys tone was casual, her voice cold, clearly not caring much about it. The shooting director looked at her carrot-like wrapped fingers, wondering how it could not be a big deal. You could actually ask for a day off, the director said, Were recording a variety show, not ying with our lives. An injured hand is not life-threatening, Daisy replied, What floor are they on? Eighth floor. Lets go. The eighth, ninth, and tenth floors are the territory of music students. Probably because Celeste Martin can y the pipa, all eight of them are specialized students who study musical instruments. When Daisy arrived, someone was in the ssroom ying the pipa. It couldnt have been Celeste Martin ying, since the current skill level wouldnt be enough to enter the Royal Court Music Academy. As she entered the ssroom through the back door, the first person she saw was Olivia Lane. She raised an eyebrow, thinking the youngdy wouldnte to school this afternoon, but didnt expect to run into her here. As soon as she entered, everyone in the room, busy recording the show, turned to look at her. George Dunn and Turner Daniel both furrowed their brows upon noticing her injured hand. Serena Buster was just delighted to see her return, her face blossoming into a happy smile. Celeste Martin briefly nced at her before looking away and reaching for her pipa. She then gently gave a nod. Daisy nced at George and the others before quietly sitting down beside Olivia Lane, What are you doing here? Where else would I be? Olivia Lane asked, looking at Daisys hand, Hows your hand? Does it hurt? No, Daisy Zane said, Skipping ss again? I asked for leave from home, Olivia Lane said. Then why dont you go home? Daisy Zane listened as the student ying the pipa in front of her hit a wrong note and the corner of her eye twitched slightly. Olivia Lane nced at her, as if to say what do you think? Daisy Zane smiled and said, Worried about me? Olivia Lane didnt look at her and didnt respond. Oh, I remember now, youre here to buy me dinner. Can you keep your mouth shut? Olivia Lane whispered, You talk too much. Daisy Zaneughed: Alright, Ill keep quiet. Im waiting for my dinner. Olivia Lane hummed softly and didnt say anything more. During todays ss, the teacher corrected each student one by one. She started off calm, but gradually became more irritable. Hand shape, hand shape! Your left and right small joints, curved, curved! Where is your strength? Do you hear the sound youre ying? Is the strength in ce? Oh my! Your pitch uracy is off. The art examination ising soon, cant you hear that your pipa pitch isnt urate? It sounds urate to me, the student quietly retorted. Did your ears run away from home? The teacher handed her a tuner, Where is it urate? Listen, where is it urate? The student attached the tuner and yed a bit. There was a very subtle deviation on the tuner: Just a tiny bit. A tiny bit is still not eptable, the teacher said. Oh. The student adjusted the pitch. Then she yed again, only to find that she still couldnt discern anything. Seeing her expression, the teacher became so angry she almost choked: Next one, next one! Daisy Zane looked on from behind and raised the corner of her mouth momentarily. What are youughing about? Olivia Lane rubbed her ears, its a disaster scene here, and you can stillugh. Daisy Zane didnt say anything but listened as the teacher said: Oh no, your string crossing is still not fast enough. Practice more. Ha, yours is fast enough, but what the hell are you ying? Ive never heard this song in all my years in the industry. Under the teachers criticism and attacks, each of the more than twenty students was finally corrected once. But the teachersints did not end there: You people think youre so great every day, acting like no one else exists. You hear people around you ying at a simr level and think your skills are enough. None of the students in the ss spoke, remaining quiet and listening. They were ustomed to this state. If you never see the mountain beyond the current mountain, youll never know where your skills stand. All the specialized students in Gathering Joy Private School trained in their own school. Teachers were all hired from outside and paid by the hour. Furthermore, they did not ept outside trainees. The teachers were highly skilled, and there were few students. They could pay attention to every student. So the students skills were not bad, but as their skill level improved, the teachers demands also increased. You should thank the program team for choosing our school and inviting students from the Royal Court Music Academy, the teacher said, And you should also thank Celeste Martin, who is studying the pipa. Its a bargain for you to meet people from the Royal Court Music Academy for free. Upon hearing the teacher, the students immediately became excited. Apuse and cheers immediately filled the entire ssroom. Everyone turned to look at Celeste Martin. The recording crew in the back also joined in the apuse. Daisy Zane could only move one hand, but she saw Olivia Lane sitting on the side, with no intention of joining in. So she turned Olivias hand over and pped it twice. Olivia Lane: Childish. Chapter 305: 281: Pipa Class Chapter 305: 281: Pipa ss
Trantor:549690339 There were not many people learning Pipa in the school. There were only two sses, with less than fifty peoplebined. The teacher requested to call the neighbouring ss over.
Everyone was to listen to Celeste Martin showcase first. Celeste Martin picked up her Pipa and stepped forward, and the seven of them behind were each handed a Pipa. Turner Daniel took the Pipa and said, Can I go y the piano next door? Im afraid someone wille after meter. George Dunn patted his shoulders and said, Just do your best give it all, so you can block it for our elder brothers and sisters. Its fine if they onlye after you. Is this how you take care of a newly grown-up? Turner Daniel said. This will make you grow up fast, said Serena Buster. Turner Daniel nced at Daisy Zane who was sitting in her seat, watching their banter. He then looked at the others and said, You Ive got my eyes on you. The few chuckled, and George Dunn took the opportunity to walk up to Daisy Zane and asked in a low voice, What happened to your hand? I had a fall, Daisy Zane handed him her cell phone from her pocket, My cell phone is broken. Can you rece the SIM card for me? George Dunn extended his hand to take the cell phone. Something must have happened, otherwise even if the phone was broken from a fall, why would the SIM card need recing? And she was in such a rush when she left.
However, George Dunn didnt ask further, Its just a phone, Ill buy a new one myself. I only reimbursed you because its cheap, Daisy Zane said calmly. Olivia Laneughed out. George Dunn: Does that mean, if it had been more expensive, she wouldnt have reimbursed him? Once the students from both sses settled down, the teacher arrived from behind. He exined to the group participating in the show how to hold the Pipa properly. Since Daisy Zane had injured her hand, she wasnt asked to participate. Hence, she just cradled the Pipa in her arms, watching the teacher instruct others. Meanwhile, Celeste Martin brought her Pipa forward. It was a custom-made Pipa, with her name on it. It must have cost over 300,000 USD at the very least. As soon as the Pipa was unveiled, a wave of awe swept through the room. Celeste Martin smiled and adjusted the strings, I havent yed for a few days. I kind of miss it. The entire ssroom was filled with eyes shining in admiration.
Lets y The Ambush from Ten Sides. Its a verymon song, Celeste Martin stretched her fingers, The moremon a song is, the harder it is to stand out because everyone has heard it so much. However, learning an instrument is a very drab process in itself. Every song is practiced till youre sick of it. Daisy Zane watched Celeste Martin while fondling her Pipa. Celeste Martin made a few remarks and started ying directly. The entire ssroom fell silent. The song The Ambush from Ten Sides was intense from the very beginning. The FuLun technique requires deep, forceful, speedy down-strokes and the fingers must be close to the picking hand. This is done to exhibit the intimidation of the unified war drum. Moreover, following FuLun, there are continuous strums which increase in speed, from slow to fast, and in string count, from less to more. This seriously tests the fundamental skills, the strength, and the techniques. The Ambush from Ten Sides is indeed quitemon, Celeste Martin was right. The moremon it is, the harder it is to stand out. Unless your ability can catch someones attention, and be a particr among the many mon. This instrument is also such that non-professionals enjoy the excitement, whereas the professionals will appreciate the technique. Non-professionals probably cannot tell the difference betweenmon and particr. As long as its eptable, fluent, and can present itself, they think its good.
However, when it falls into professionals ears, they can tell if its good or not from one note. Celeste Martin is indeed at least two grades higher than the students in the ss. From the moment her finger touched the string, you could see her strength. After all, those admitted to the Court Music Academy are the best of the best in the industry. Being able to work in the Court Music Academy certainly means that they have passed rigorous screening test. Moreover, the internalpetition within the Court Music Academy is quite intense. There are evaluations every month, and every month, there are students who are eliminated. That ce is a dreand for numerous music learners. Celeste Martin stopped ying before she finished an entire song. The moment she stopped, apuse sounded immediately. It was even more enthusiastic than before, almost as if it could shatter ss. Daisy Zane lightly patted Olivia Lanes hand a few times, and pped along. Although Olivia Lane showed displeasure on her face, she didnt move her hand away: Whats there to apud for? Miss, my mic is on, Daisy Zane responded. Olivia Lane nced at the microphone on her cor but didnt care. After all, her brother would have someone to edit the recording: Of course. Daisy Zane looked at this willful young girl. My sister was better at this when she was ten, Olivia Lane said, this is merely passable. Is that so? Daisy Zane replied. My sister is the only disciple of Boss Flores, Olivia Lane proudly said, what does that tell you? Daisy Zane had heard Charles Flores Pipa ying before, which was supreme. If wepare them, Celeste Martins Pipa ying is indeed only passable. The only disciple of Charles Flores thats not a matter that can be simply described as amazing. Some people really do have a head start the moment theyre born. An iparably prestigious lineage, unbeatable talents, love thats cherished in the palm of hands The word envy had already be numb for her, Daisy Zane furrowed her brows, then asked: What about you? What? I heard your brother ys the Guqin and your sister ys the Pipa. What about you? Daisy Zane casually inquired. Olivia Lane clenched her fingers, stayed silent for a while before she finally replied, Its none of your business. Daisy Zane drew in a breath, then reached out to pinch her face, Speak politely. Olivia Lanes face was misshaped by Daisy Zanes pinch. She intended to remove Daisy Zanes hand but paused after she saw the other hand wrapped in bandages, then said, Oh. After Celeste Martin finished ying, she began to instruct everyone. She was pretty, had a nice voice, spoke gently, and was patient. Everyone gathered around her. They surrounded her so tightly that the camera couldnt capture her, so they called in a cameraman to specifically film her. The seven people in the back were not idle either, the teacher taught them how to pluck using their right hand. The moment they plucked, Daisy Zane immediately understood the meaning of murderous that Turner Daniel had told her about. She wanted to tie up their six hands now. After listening for a while, Olivia Lane covered her ears. Daisy Zane, with her left hand holding the Pipa in her arms, handed a pair of headphones to Olivia Lane. It was a gift from the cell phone shop where she had just bought a phone for George Dunn. Olivia Lane quickly took out her cell phone, found a song, and put on the headphones. While Daisy Zane was quietly observing them and continuously stroking the Pipa with her right hand. After a long while, the crowd around Celeste Martin had changed twice. Daisy Zane couldnt help but pluck a string. Pluck with the index finger, strike with the thumb, with great strength. The hand shape was correct and beautiful. She tuned every string that she plucked until it was in tune. When she was tuning the first string, Olivia Lane was switching songs in her headphones and heard the sound. Her first reaction was to unplug her headphones, but she didnt move. However, Daisy Zane stopped moving after ying and tuning a few times. She listened to the young girl, sitting in front of her, who hadnt moved before ying the Pipa. Almost everyone else had gathered around Celeste Martin, only she hadnt moved. Olivia Lane was clenching her headphones, it was only a few notes, just those few notes, even though it was a simple right hand pluck, itpletely overshadowed Celeste Martin. Absolutely, she was absolutely certain in her heart. Turning her head sideways, Olivia Lane moved her lips, but before she could speak, Daisy Zane unexpectedly patted the girl in front of her and casually suggested, Why dont we enjoy a bit of your ying? Chapter 306: 282: All the fish in that sea… are mine Chapter 306: 282: All the fish in that sea are mine
Trantor:549690339 The girl sitting in front of them was very shy. When she looked back and saw Daisy Zane, her face turned red. Daisy Zane noticed her reaction and raised her eyebrows.
However, when Daisy looked at Daisy Zane, the words that were just about to reach her lips were suddenly held back. She looked at her speechlessly, thinking that she was like a yboy Sea Kinggirl! Once she thought about this setting, Daisy felt increasingly convinced. And she was one of her victims in her ocean. Daisy: The girl holding the pipa did not dare look Daisy Zane in the eyes: I, Im not good at ying. You must be better than us. Turner Daniel moved his chair and sat on the other side of Daisy Zane,My ears are about to throw up. Let me cleanse them now. The girl lowered her head and pursed her lips. Just as she ced her hand on the pipa, a student came over: Willow Martin, what are you doing here? Everyone has gone to Celeste Martins side. After she finished speaking, she sweetly greeted Daisy Zane and the others. Im not going. Willow Martin said. Why not? Celeste Martin hase here after such a long time. Another girl pulled Willow Martins arm and said, Her guidance session is about to end. You go, Im not going.
Wheres your usual enthusiasm for learning? What a great opportunity! And yet, youre not taking advantage of it. The girl was puzzled. I dont want to go. Willow Martin lowered her head, possibly due to anxiety. Her face turned even redder, and she said, You go by yourself. Seeing her unusual expression, the girl did not press her any further. She said a few words to Daisy Zane and the others before leaving. Suddenly, Willow Martin felt both awkward and nervous. Turner Daniel smiled and said, Well let us have a performance to soothe my wounded heart. Willow Martin nced at him, then quickly smiled as well, Alright. ThenI will y Spring Snow. Spring Snow had a lively rhythm, fresh and smooth. It depicted the scene of early spring when ice and snow melt, and everything revives, giving people a feeling of freshness. Willow Martin had a good foundation, but there were subtle differences in her fingering and hand shape. Although not easy to detect, those who listened carefully could tell. This resulted in the piece being slightly off. Perhaps this imperfection was never discovered, which led her to be forever inadequate, no matter how hard she practiced. However one verymendable point was her excellent emotional expression.
It was very pleasant to listen to. As Daisy Zane and the others listened on their side, the students surrounding George Dunn and the teacher were only interrupted by the harsh sound of their instruments and theughter of the group. It was unknown what had happened, but the teacher was so amused that he doubled over inughter, drawing no attention to Daisy Zanes group. Daisy Zane watched Willow Martins hand movements, which seemed fine in terms of strength and speed in a normal state. As they watched, a group of students suddenly surrounded them. Daisy Zane looked up and saw the same student who had previously brought Celeste Martin over: Teacher Celeste, its over here. Her name is Willow Martin, and she shares the samest name as you. Usually, she works very hard, but shes just a bit shy, thats why she doesnt feel at ease. As Willow Martin yed the pipa with focus and involvement, she suddenly heard a voice. Her hand shook, and the string of the pipa made a harsh sound. Daisy suddenly furrowed her brows. She turned her head and looked up at Celeste Martin, who was standing not far behind her. As their eyes met, Willow Martin showed no emotion. In contrast, Celeste Martin smiled gently at her, saying, You cant learn anything if youre shy. Willow Martin looked at her without responding. Herposure seemed excessive.
Celeste Martin smiled again, watching her intently, y a bit so I can listen. Willow Martin gripped the pipa tightly but didnt move. Just now, another girl had walked over to Willow Martin and pinched her shoulder, Willow Martin,e on and y. Teacher Celeste is specifically here for you. Willow Martins gaze dropped from Celeste Martin, and she didnt look at the people around her, but she felt all their eyes on her. And the cameras. She had to y in front of many people, just as Celeste Martin had toe over for the same reason. So, she looked at her pipa and started ying Spring Snow again from the beginning. Perhaps it was because of the crowd, or maybe it was because of Celeste Martin, but the piece that Willow Martin yed was noticeably worse than before. She realized this herself and stopped ying after two sections. She didnt speak up either. Celeste Martin looked down at her, then paused for two seconds before smiling and saying, Not bad, its quite good. Its just that you seem a bit nervous. Its probably due tock of practice. Just practice more, and it wont be a problem. Daisy Zane listened to her words and raised her eyebrows. Daisy also nced at her. If others couldnt see the problem, Celeste Martin, a person qualified to enter the Court Music Academy, should be able to see it. That could only mean that she was deliberately not mentioning it. Moreover, the two of them seemed to know each other. Both their surnames are Martin She is quite talented. Celeste Martin said, You must work hard, and practice diligently. The words talent triggered Willow Martin, and her hand visibly shook. She lowered her head, and her left hand clenched the Pipa so hard that her knuckles turned white. Then, as if squeezing the words from her mouth, she said, Thank you, Teacher Martin. Youre wee. Thats what I should do. Celeste finished, and then looked back to the students and said, Lets go to the front. Best Actor Dunns Pipa ying is something that I, as a mere mortal, cannot bear to hear. The studentsughed and then waited for Celeste to walk forward. Before Celeste went forward, she deliberately looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy sensed her gaze and looked back at her. The cold eyes directly struck Celestes pride, arrogance, and show-off. But Celestes gaze did not linger on Daisy for long; it was repelled by Daisys calm demeanor. She quickly withdrew her sight and did not dare to look again. Only when they all left did Daisy look at Willow again. Willow lowered her head, clenching her fingers, obviously not yet able to react. Daisy asked, Has your hand been injured before? Hearing Daisy speak, Willows hands immediately loosened. Even her breath, held tightly until now, was released. She turned to face Daisy: I, Iyes. Willow paused for two seconds, then raised her right hand and said, Both my index and ring fingers have been broken. Such beautiful hands, and they are ying the Pipaone would feel pity for them. But Daisy was very calm. She just looked at Willows fingers and asked, Have there been any lingering effects? Willow shook her head, No. ce your hand on the strings, Daisy said. Huh? Willow looked at her in surprise. Turner Daniel and Olivia Lane also looked at her. Daisy didnt say anything else and just gently raised her chin, signaling Willow to ce her hand on the strings. Willow nced at her again, then put her hand on the strings. y a pluck. Willow did as instructed. This is the strength you think you should apply, Daisy exined. Your hand has been injured, and even if it has recovered well, it still affects you. Dont treat it as an ordinary finger. Willow looked at her. Olivias eyshes trembled slightly, recalling their conversation in the hospital. The doctor had mentioned that Daisys hand had been injured C all five fingers Perhaps not just five fingers. Maybe her right hand, too You tried to reach the desired strength as if it were a normal finger, which led to slight deviations in your hand shape and fingering techniques, Daisy said slowly, ignoring the looks from both sides of her. Come sit here. Turner quickly vacated his seat so that Willow could sit next to Daisy. ce your hand properly. Daisy held her hand. Your thumb is fine; the main issue is your index finger. y. As soon as Willow tried to y, she wanted to apply force, but Daisys strength was much greater. If Daisy didnt want her to move, she couldnt move at all. So, the note Willow yed was weak and powerless. Again. Willows hand was held by Daisy, their strengths wrestling, but she was no match for Daisy. She could only y each note weakly, like a crippled person. It wasnt until some twenty attemptster that Daisy finally heard the sound she wanted. Olivias eyshes trembled slightly again. Willow looked at Daisy with surprise and delight. Daisys eyes remained calm and indifferent as she nced at Willows hand. Once more, with the same strength as just now. Turner, who didnt understand a thing, just observed the expressions of the three girls. From this, it seemed that Daisy was very impressive. Willow yed another dozen or more times, with more than half the notes sounding good. Then Daisy released her, letting her y by herself. She yed the pluck as well. It turned out that Willow had a good understanding. Daisys judgment was correct. Practice using this method. The rest is up to you, Daisy said calmly. Willow looked at Daisy, her eyes shining, and her face even redder. Touching the back of her hand where Daisy had held it, she whispered, Thank you. Thank yourself, Daisy replied. Dont waste your talent. Hearing her words, Willows eyes suddenly turned red. She lowered her head in a fluster and nodded, Yes. Daisy didnt want to get involved in other peoples sad stories, so she didnt say anything more. Olivia also remained silent, looking at her own hand. As for Turner, he looked at Daisy with admiration, respect, and determination in his eyes. It was as if he had confirmed some ideas in his heart and made a decision. Chapter 307: 283: It’s Not Her Fault in the First Place Chapter 307: 283: Its Not Her Fault in the First ce
After leaving school, Kevin rk drove directly to Daisy Zanes vi. On the way, Michael Jackson called to report the situation, informing him that all the people deployed in the factory had been caught. While driving, a vicious look crossed Kevins eyes: Gather people at Henry rks residence.
Michael heard his words and suddenly fell silent for two seconds. For the first time, he questioned Kevins order: Us? Yes, Kevin replied, Wait for me for an hour. Third Master, are you going personally? Michael questioned again. Yes. But what about the Old Master Michael said, And the Lane Family? I know, Kevin replied, No need for the Lane Family. Ill keep it from Enamel Cannon and go by myself. Michael hadnt seen Daisy Zane, but hearing how angry the Third Master was, he could guess that Henry rk and Edward Kirstens men hade into contact with her. The Third Master wanted to take matters into his own hands. He didnt ask any more questions and simply replied: Yes. Kevin went to Daisys residence and looked for Wilton Edwards. As soon as he entered the living room, Wilton saw him and then stretched his neck to look behind him. I came by myself.
Wilton didnt let his disappointment show on his face, and smiled: Ah, did the Young Master cause any trouble at rk Manor? No, Kevin replied, My parents really like him. They are getting along very well. Good, good, thats good, Wilton said, Third Master, please have a seat. Orchard Garden sent tickets yesterday and also brought tea. Ill go get it for you to try. Okay. Because of Daisy, Kevin respected Wilton a lot. The tea set was on the tea table. Wilton went to get the tea, and while making the tea, he said, Using the tea the Third Master sent to entertain the Third Master. They gave it to my mother. I havent tasted it yet. Wilton smiled kindly and asked, Does the Third Master have any matters to discuss? Yes, I want to ask about something. Is it about the youngdy? Yes. Kevin hesitated, then asked, How did her fingers get broken? With this gentle question, a thousand waves were stirred. Wiltons hand shook, spilling water outside. He looked up at Kevin, worried: The youngdy was injured? What happened? Did she hurt her hand? Wasnt she recording a show at school? How did she get hurt?
Wilton, dont worry, Kevin said, Her fingers are swollen, so she got an X-ray. Theres no bone damage. Are there any other injuries, and is she okay? Shes fine, its my fault for not protecting her well, Kevin said. It took a moment for Wilton to react. He looked at Kevin and said, Im sorry, Third Master. I got too carried away. Wilton calmed down for a while and continued to make the tea: Since the Third Master has asked me, I guess you know that I have been living with the youngdy all this time. Yes, Kevin replied, I know she lived in Continent A for four years. Wilton looked at him and was stunned for a moment, then muttered, The youngdy rarely mentions it. Kevin didnt respond. Wilton asked, Has the Third Master heard about Mason Davis? Yes. With that, Wilton had a clearer idea. He didnt hide anything: Henry Kirsten Edward Kirsten tricked the youngdy into investigating Mason Davis. After the youngdy found out Edward Kirsten had killed Mason Davis and his family, she was very angry. She fought with Edward Kirsten for a long time.
Kevin thought of the video he saw on Koymoon Ind, the video where the little girl called out Brother Yabez. Later, Edward Kirsten said that he wanted to make the youngdy the same as him and to utilize her hacking skills to do more things like that. He could not ept her taking a different path than him, so he wanted her hands to be stained with blood, to turn her into the same kind of person as him. Wilton Edwards sighed gently, paused and continued, Thats why the youngdy personally broke all ten fingers of her hands. Kevin rk suddenly clenched his hands, feeling as if a hand was gripping his heart, constantly tightening, as if it was about to be crushed. He had guessed the general idea after hearing Wilton Edwards words. But listening to him say it still hurt him so much that even breathing was painful. Ten fingers, ten fingers How desperate and pain-filled must that little girl have been back then. Wilton Edwards looked at Kevin rk sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, not saying a word. Moreover, his eyes looked fiercely red, and his gloomy aura was terrifying. After a while, Kevin rk finally asked, How are her hands now? Edward Kirsten did the surgery himself. It was very delicately done, and her hands are no different than before. Wilton Edwards said, But the youngdy didnt pay much attention to maintenance in the years that followed. When the weather is cold, her fingers would hurt. She didnt pay much attention to it and usually endured the pain by herself. Kevin rk lowered his eyes and took a light breath, then fell silent for a while and said: Wilton Edwards, dont tell her that I know. Alright, I understand. Ill leave now. After Kevin finished speaking, he got up and walked out. When he was already at the entrance, Wilton Edwards suddenly called out to him: Third Master Kevin stopped and looked at him. Wilton Edwards got up, walked a few steps towards him and said: Third Master, has the youngdy ever mentioned Jack Amos to you? Kevin was silent for a moment and gave a light hmm. Wilton Edwards hesitated for a moment and said, Third Master, there have always been conflicts between Edward Kirsten and Jack Amos. It was only a fuse when Jack helped her escape. Kevins eyshes blinked lightly. The young master is the child of Jack Amos and Harris Kirsten. Harris Kirsten is Edward Kirstens biological sister. Wilton Edwards looked at Kevin, Edward Kirsten has always hated Jack Amos. The two of them are always at odds, and their conflicts have gradually intensified over time. Listening to Wilton Edwards words, it turned out that Charles Amos was really blood-rted to Edward Kirsten. Very closely rted. Uncle and nephew. Harris had a difficult delivery giving birth to the young master and could not be saved. Edward med all the mistakes on Jack Amos and the young master. Wilton Edwards spoke, his eyes gradually getting wet, Edward Kirsten and Jack Amos conflicts escted at that moment. He not only thought about killing Jack Amos but also wanted to kill the young master. Kevin frowned. Jack helping the youngdy escape was merely a fuse. Wilton Edwards pressed his eyes, Regardless of whether this happened or not, Edward Kirsten would not let Jack Amos live. He just used the death of Jack as an excuse to force the youngdy to stay by his side. Kevin rubbed his fingertips. The youngdy has always attributed this matter to her own fault. She has always believed that Jacks death was caused by her hands. She has been living in guilt for all these years. Wilton Edwards voice gradually turned hoarse. Kevin lowered his gaze to conceal the emotions in his eyes. Third Master, the youngdy really trusts you. Wilton Edwards said, Maybe you are the only one who can help her get out of this. Kevin swallowed, his voice hoarse, I understand. Thank you, Third Master. Wilton Edwards said softly, his eyes red. I should do it. After saying that, Kevin left. When Kevin sat in his car, he stayed inside, staring at the road ahead, for a long time, not starting the car. The pain in his heart was like an uncontrolled vine growing and spreading, with thorns, covering his whole body through his blood. His little girl was so good, how could he bear to let her experience so much suffering? How could he make up for her pain and suffering all these years by loving his little girl? Chapter 308: 284: She’s Not There Chapter 308: 284: Shes Not There
Trantor:549690339 Kevin rk took a long time in the car before driving to the vi, where Henry rk was staying. When he arrived, Michael Jackson and Juan Wright had already surrounded the vi.
The three-story vi was simply decorated. The flowers and nts in the courtyard were also simply cared for, with no attention paid to elegance. The entire vi, from the inside out, appeared to be just a temporary resting ce. It was never intended for long-term residence. After all, Henry rk nned to live in rk Manor. When Kevin rk entered the vi, only Henry rk was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, and the others had been subdued. The members of the rk Family surrounded Henry rk, like vengeful ghosts. When Kevin rk walked to the entrance, he was somewhat backlit. Henry rk could only see a tall figure, like a hellish Asura,ing to judge his fate. It wasnt until Kevin rk approached that Henry reacted and stood up immediately, holding back his anger and saying, Arthur, what are you doing here? Kevin rk sat directly on the sofa opposite him, crossed his legs, and looked at him. His narrow eyes were filled with ruthlessness and poison, appearing careless yet horrifying.
Arthur. Is there a misunderstanding between us? Henry rk and Elina rk looked simr, but Henrys face carried a cunning look, whereas Elinas was full of righteousness. No misunderstanding, only grievances. Juan Wrights fox-like eyes were smiling but chilly as he said, You kidnapped Young Miss Lane twice. The first time, you forced the young master to hand over the seal. The second time, you attempted to provoke conflict between the Lane Family and the rk Family Dont nder me! Henry rk interrupted Juan Wrights words. Juan ignored him and continued, And you colluded with Edward Kirstens power. Nonsense! Henry rk yelled. You know very well whether its nonsense or not, said Michael Jackson. Arthur, I dont understand what youre talking about, Henry rk straightened his back and said, I just came to Imperial Capital for a short stay. Your father said nothing, but you came here with great fanfare, surrounding the vi and beating people. Is this how you treat your elders? Kevin rk looked at him, waiting for him to continue. Withdraw your people immediately, I wont pursue the matter. Ill just consider it a prank, said Henry rk, Otherwise, Ill have to go to rk Manor and ask for an exnation from Big Brother. Do you think you can get out of here? Kevin rk asked softly.
Henry rks face changed abruptly: What do you want? You think that by capturing Olivia Lane, and having it carried out by people not connected to you, you can absolve yourself of responsibility when something goes wrong? Kevin rk said. What are you talking about! Henry rk said, Youre saying that I ordered the kidnapping of Olivia Lane, do you have any evidence? Why would I need evidence? Kevin rk retorted. Henry rk frowned. I, Kevin rk, capture whoever I want, based solely on my own volition. Kevin rk stared intently into his eyes, exerting a powerful oppressive force that weighed on Henry rk like a mountain. After a moment, he uttered two words slowly, Take him away. I dare you toy a hand on me! As Henry rk was yelling, the rk Family members quickly subdued him and controlled him. Kevin rk, Im your Second Uncle Peter, how can you treat me like this? I never had a Second Uncle. If you take me away, your father wont let you off, Henry rk struggled and yelled, Do you want to defy your father?
If I want to take action against someone, not even my father has the right to intervene. Kevin rk got up, walked in front of him, and looked down on him, Your get-out-of-jail-free card doesnt work with me. After that, he walked towards the exit and said, Sever one of his hands and send him to M Continent Prison. Michael Jackson and Juan Wright exchanged nces, immediately knowing where Daisy Zane had been injured: Yes. As Kevin rk walked outside, Henry rk kept yelling his name inside the vi. It was not until a scream rang out that everything returned to peace. Back in the car, Kevin rk lit a cigarette. When Michael Jackson and Juan Wright came out and saw that Kevin rk hadnt left, they immediately approached and Juan Wright asked, Third Master, is Teachers hand injured? Is it serious? Will it affect her operation? Kevin rk nced at him but didnt respond. Juan Wright didnt dare to say anything more. After a while, Kevin rk extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and said, Take care of the remaining forces of Henry rk. From now on, I dont want to hear anything about him. Yes. At school, after dinner, Daisy and her seven friends were free to choose between the music specialty students and art specialty students. They could go wherever they wanted. Daisy Zane asked the shooting director for her unfinished painting and went to the art specialty students side. Turner Daniel and two other boys followed her as well. Of course, Olivia Lane was also following her. Serena Buster and George Dunn went to the piano ssroom. Celeste Martin and another boy stayed in the Pipa ssroom. In the ssroom, Daisy was painting as seriously as the other students. Olivia Lane sat next to her, watching her paint Arthur North, from being speechless to being bored, and finally, she shifted backward and leaned against Daisys back and fell asleep. Almost an hourter, Olivias cell phone vibrated. She immediately woke up, sat up straight, muted her phone, rubbed her eyes, and then looked at the disy. Daisy, sitting very close to her, slightly leaned back and saw the note on the caller ID. It was simply a single word: Brother. Olivia stared at the word for two seconds, then flipped her phone over and pretended not to see it. After a while, the phone automatically hung up and vibrated once. Then it vibrated again. Olivia muted it again and looked at her phone for a while before dragging Daisy out of the ssroom and heading straight for the restroom. When they got to the restroom, Olivia suddenly said to Daisy, Say Im not here. After saying that, she pressed the answer button and put the cell phone to Daisys ear. Daisy looked at Olivia and said, As soon as the call connected, a voice from the phone said, Olivia, Im at the school entrance,e out. The voice was a bit stern, and Olivias little heart sped up in fright. Normally, her brother would spoil her rotten. Whenever she got into trouble, he would never scold her and would always solve her problems. Butst time she was taken away by Henry rk, her brother got angry at her. This time it was even more dangerous, and Arthurs girlfriend got hurt too. Arthur must have badmouthed her to her brother. Her brother will definitely be even angrier this time. She didnt want to face it. As for Daisy, her eye twitched a little when she heard the voice. Olivia?William Lane couldnt hear a response and called her name again. Olivia pitifully looked at Daisy, sending her a distress signal. Daisy nced at Olivia, and then she said to the phone in a calm voice, She says shes not here. Olivias face fell, William Lane also went quiet for a moment upon hearing this cold voice, curious that Olivia would let someone else answer her phone at school. The three of them kept quiet for a few seconds, then Olivia began to pester Daisy like a kitten, grabbing at her clothes and saying, Ah! How could you do this! Im going to tell Arthur North that youre flirting with young girls at school. Daisy didnt avoid her, smiling and saying, Young girl, I lied for you. What if your brotheres in and hits me? Listening to their conversation, William Lane didnt say anything for a moment. His sister had never been this close to someone before. My brother wouldnt hit anyone, Olivia muttered. Then what are you afraid of? I its none of your business. Olivia, be polite when you speak, Williams voice suddenly came from the phone. Daisy and Olivia both looked at the phone. Olivia immediately behaved, but she still red at Daisy angrily. Daisy pinched her face and handed the phone back to her, saying, Youve been tired all day, go home and sleep tonight. Olivia looked at her phone silently. Go ahead, your brother is waiting for you. Chapter 309: 285: William Lane Trains His Sister from a Thousand Miles Away Chapter 309: 285: William Lane Trains His Sister from a Thousand Miles Away
Trantor:549690339 William Lane received the message in the morning and rushed back from F Continent. After getting off the airne, he called Kevin rk and went straight to the school. As Olivia left the school and saw Williams car, she immediately slowed down, walking towards it little by little.
William sat in the backseat, watching here out. He lowered the car window and looked at her moving towards him quietly. Five minutester, Olivia finally moved to the side of the car, looked inside at her brother through the window, and squeezed a smile, Brother, why did youe back? William didnt answer her, just saying, Get in the car. Olivia pursed her lips, opened the car door, and got in. After sitting down, she stole a nce at her brother with a turn of her eyes. The driver started the car and drove towards the Lane family home. William nced at her, his light thin lips gently pursed. After a while, he said, Olivia, what did I sayst time? His tone was t, and his voice was somewhat cold. But he didnt yell at her angrily. Olivia lowered her head and didnt say anything. Why dont you listen, why skip ss, and why avoid the people following you? William, wearing a white shirt, had a cool and gentle temperament. His eyes hid the usual smile, and his voice was uncharacteristically serious, Olivia, I need an exnation. Olivia still didnt say anything with her head down.
William waited for a while and said, Speak. Brother, Im sorry. Olivia said, pinching her fingers. Youre not sorry to me; youre sorry to yourself, William said, Youre wasting your life. Do you want to be stuck in Senior Three when youre twenty? Olivia didnt say anything again. Last time Henry rk took you away, didnt he tell you not to lose the people following you ever again? Williams tone became even more serious. You take your brothers words for granted. If it wasnt for Arthurs girlfriend today, do you think you could be sitting here safe and sound? Henry rk is after your life. Olivia clenched the paper in her pocket that Daisy Zane had written on. Olivia, Arthurs girlfriend got injured saving you; you should be grateful that its just a swelling, William said. What if her arm had been broken or disabled? Have you ever thought about how you and the Lane family will exin it to Arthur and the rk family? The driver in front drove the car and nced at his young master through the rearview mirror. It was the first time he had seen him speak so harshly to his sister. Arthur put his girlfriend on a pedestal, do you think shed let you off easily if it werent for the Lane familys sake? William continued, Olivia, your brother can cover for you if you usually cause a little trouble, but now youve be willful to the point of endangering your own life or others. I didnt do that, Olivia said quietly. What didnt you do? William asked, Did you not skip ss by climbing the wall, or did you not get someone injured because of you?
After that sentence, both of them stopped talking. William looked at her, while Olivia hung her head, still clutching the paper in her pocket. The neon lights outside the car retreated into blurred shadows. The prolonged silence inside the car seemed to darken the light. Why are you silent again? William broke the silence. As soon as he said this, he saw Olivia lower her head, and a tear fell. William watched the teardrop, his eyshes trembling fiercely, and the fingers on hisp suddenly clenched. Olivia hurriedly raised her hand and wiped away the tear, then looked out the window. Olivia Williams voice instantly softened. Olivia kept looking outside and didnt speak. William gently took her arm, turned her around, and wiped the tears that came out again with his hand, Im sorry, I was too harsh. Olivia nodded, then shook her head.
Alright, dont cry, William said, holding her face and wiping away her tears. Olivia sobbed a couple of times, choking back tears, I-I know Im wrong. I-I didnt do it on purpose. Its brothers fault, brothers tone was too heavy. Hmm. Im sorry. Daisy Zane sniffed twice and said quietly, Its okay. Alright, stop crying. Mmm, Daisy Zane replied softly. William Lane put his arm around her and gently patted her shoulder while his other hand stroked her head. When she had stopped crying, he finally let go of her. Brother, when will you leave? Ill stay with you until the weekend is over, William Lane replied. Daisy Zane smiled, with her eyes still red. William Lane touched her head and asked, Auntie said you didnt eat dinner. Do you want me to take you out to eat? I ate in the cafeteria. William Lane looked surprised, Did you eat enough? Mmhmm. After that, the two of them were silent for a while. After some time, William Lane said, Daisy Zane, Ill say this for thest time: no matter what youre doing, have someone with you. Do you understand? Daisy Zane looked at him and nodded, Mmhmm. Ill let you have your way with everything else, but you have to listen to me on this matter, William Lane tucked her hair behind her ear, I dont want to hear news like todays anymore, he said. Mmhmm. Seeing her obediently agree, a smile appeared in William Lanes eyes, and then he asked, Do you really like Arthur Norths girlfriend? Upon mention of Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane suddenly looked at the street outside and said, Brother, Im not going home. I have to go back to school. Huh? William Lane thought he had heard wrong; with him at home, his sister wasnt going back to their house, What for? Its just that Daisy Zanes hand needs medicine, Daisy Zane said, as if she was reluctant to admit her concern. I just wanted to see if she needs my help. William Lane raised an eyebrow. It seemed like she really liked her a lot. It just made him more curious. His sister believed this person to be very beautiful and cared so much for her. The person was also very capable of fighting. What kind of sacred person did Kevin rk find? Our little Daisy Zane has grown up, youve learned to care for others now. Daisy Zane pouted. William Lane told the driver, Turn around and go back to the school. Alright. Once back at the school, Daisy Zane didnt return to the ssroom. Instead, she sat in the stands on the yground for a while, and only returned to the dormitory after evening self-study was over. When she got back, Daisy Zane was on the balcony making a phone call. Daisy Zane sat on a chair, ying with her cell phone for a while. After ten minutes, everyone else went to wash up. Daisy Zane only came inside the dormitory from the balcony. As soon as she opened the balcony door and saw Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, Youre back? Why did you make such a long phone call? Daisy Zane looked at her with a smile in her eyes, seeming to see through her every thought but said nothing. Daisy Zane felt as if she had been exposed. She stood up and said, Lets go! Wash up! Lights out soon. Why are you in such a hurry today? Daisy Zane asked deliberately as she walked towards her bed. Its my pleasure. Daisy Zane chuckled and said, Alright, lets wash up. Chapter 310: 286: Arthur North’s Son Chapter 310: 286: Arthur Norths Son
Trantor:549690339 The dormitorys grooming area was quiterge. Beyond the area for washing faces and brushing teeth, there were separate partition rooms for showering.
Every floor had one, but due to the number of people, the usage time for each person was rather short. Daisy Zane and Amelie Quentin waited outside for a while and entered two adjacent partition rooms. As Daisy undressed in the partition room, she identally caught a glimpse of a red mark on her shoulder. It was very noticeable on her fair skin. Her movements halted as she looked at the red mark on her left shoulder, her thoughts suddenly drifting far away. It had been left by Harton rk in the car. His heavy panting seemed to linger in her ears even now. She had told him not to mark her neck since she had a show to record, so he had pulled down her shirt and kissed her shoulder instead. She could feel how Harton rk struggled to control himself at that moment, almost losing control. Daisy Zane, is it inconvenient for you to use your hand? Amelie Quentin hadnt seen her turn the showerhead on from the partition next door and asked. Daisys eyshes trembled, and she returned to her senses, grabbing her right hand and saying, No.
Oh. Then you should hurry up and wash, Amelie Quentin said. Mm. Daisy Zanes grooming was very fast, and Amelie Quentin, to save time, also washed quickly. When she heard Daisy turning off the showerhead, she hadnt even dried her hair yet, so she quickly wrapped it, put on her pajamas, and went outside. Dont rush, Daisy Zane said. Im not in a hurry, Amelie Quentin replied before ncing at her hand and hurrying back. Hurry up. Daisy Zane looked at the impatient girl and chuckled softly to herself. Because Amelie Quentin was in such a rush, her pajama buttons were not properly fastened. Since her left hand was holding her wrapped hair and she was walking hastily, her pajama top slid down after a few steps. Daisy Zane followed her at a leisurely pace. As soon as Amelie Quentins clothes slid down, she noticed. Then she looked at her left shoulder and narrowed her eyes. The young girls skin was tender, so white that it seemed to reflect light slightly.
Thus, when a hint of red appeared on her left shoulder, it was particrly striking. It looked like a tattoo, but only two points were visible, with the majority covered by her clothes. The full design was not visible. The young girl apparently had a tattoo. With this thought, Daisy Zane moved her left shoulder. Upon entering the dormitory, Amelie Quentin set down her belongings and checked the time. There were still ten minutes left before lights out. She immediately walked to Daisy Zanes side and asked, Wheres your medicine? Daisy nced at her hair, Dry your hair first. Apply the medicine first. Mm, Daisy Zane agreed, you dry your hair, and Ill apply the medicine. No conflict there. How can you apply it by yourself? Daisy took the medicine out of her drawer, ced it on the table, and opened the alcohol first. Then she tore a cotton swab, soaked it with alcohol, and wiped her arm, Like this, by myself. Amelie Quentin, who was usually pampered at home when her hand got hurt, was speechless:
Go dry your hair. Oh. Amelie Quentin changed towels and stood next to Daisy Zane again. While drying her hair, she watched Daisy apply medicine to herself. Just as she finished applying the first ointment, the other dormitory residents returned from their grooming. The two other students first noticed her arm and immediately crowded around her, What happened?! How did you get hurt so badly?! Indeed, her arm was swollen and red at noon. Now it was even more frighteningpurple, red, and swollen. I identally tripped and fell. Celeste Martin and Serena Buster also came over. As soon as Serena Buster saw the injury, she froze for a moment. Celeste Martin frowned at her arm and hand, Did you injure your arm too? Mm, Daisy Zane replied softly. Daisy Zane, where did you fall from? How did you fall like this? Serena Buster reacted and said, It must be very painful. Daisy Zane casually applied the second type of medicine to herself. In that manner, it seemed like shepletely disregarded her injured arm. It made people wince just looking at her. As if she herself felt nothing. Be gentle. Olivia Lane and Serena Buster spoke up simultaneously. Daisy Zane looked up at them and said, Youre blocking the light. Several people: Seeing that they did not move, Daisy Zane said again, Lights out in five minutes. Everyone immediately dispersed, rushing to pack up their things. But Serena Buster didnt hurry to leave and got closer to look at Daisy Zanes hand again, Are you sure youre alright? The swelling is really severe. Did it injure the tendons? No. Oh. Serena Buster took another look before getting ready to pack up her own things, while still muttering, Suddenly I feel like eating pigs feet. Daisy Zane heard it, looked up at her back, and at the same time, the cotton swab in her fingertips broke into three sections. The desire to stab someone in the eye couldnt be hidden. Meanwhile, Serena Buster suddenly shivered from the cold, feeling a chill on her back. She rubbed her arm and muttered, Is it getting colder? After taking Olivia Lane back to school, William Lane asked the driver to head to Doomsday Hotel. Arthur North, Hugo rk, and Allonzo Hobson were all waiting for him there. When he pushed the door to enter, Allonzo Hobson wasining, Oh man, such an exciting thing and you didnt call me. Ive missed another one of Brook Sisters cool, dazzling performances. Youre not brotherly enough. The four of them were so familiar that, when William Lane came in, there were no pleasantries exchanged. He walked to his seat and sat down, saying, You call her sister, what do you call Arthur? Of course, I call him brother-inw. Im Brook Sisters family. You sure know how to take advantage of the situation. As he finished speaking, William Lanes gazended on the child beside Arthur North. Charles Amos was sitting close to Arthur North, his big eyes curiously watching William Lane. Allonzo Hobson smirked wickedly and asked, Did you see Amelie? Yeah. Hugo rk nced at him. Allonzo Hobson said, Was the youngdy scared today? Someone was protecting her, so she couldnt be scared. After William Lane said this, he looked at Arthur North and said softly, Thank you. Arthur North nced at him, took a gentle breath, and said nothing. Seeing his attitude, William Lane smiled and then looked at Charles Amos, This is? William, look at you, always in F Continent. Arthurs son is already this old, and you dont even know, Allonzo Hobsonughed, What kind of brother are you? Looking at Charles Amos, William Lane suddenly remembered, Isnt this the child we bumped into at the hotel entrancest year? Youve seen him before, Allonzo Hobson said. William Lane nodded. As he looked at young Charles Amos, he thought that his understanding of Miss Zane had to change again. Apparently, she even had a child. Arthur North was going to be a stepfather. How much gossip did he miss while he was in F Continent? Charles Amos noticed him staring, so he looked up at Arthur North. Arthur North raised his hand and rubbed Charless little head, speaking softly, William Lane is from the same generation as your cousin. Charles understood, got down from his seat, stood beside Arthur North, and called out, Hello, Brother Roy. William Lane, who was stubbornly clinging to the hierarchy, said, Call me uncle. Charles Amos nced at Arthur North again. Arthur North looked at William Lane and said, Are you really willing to embarrass a child? William Lane: Charles Amos, always on the same side, immediately called out again, Brother Roy. Arthur North raised the corner of his mouth. William Lane: Alright, call me brother then. Chapter 311 - 287: Everyone Has Changed. Chapter 311: Chapter 287: Everyone Has Changed. Trantor: 549690339 The four of them chatted casually in the private room, not drinking much because of Charles Amos. After a while, William Lane said, Arthur, lets have a meal together with Lady Zane this weekend. I want to thank her in person. Kevin rk looked up at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, No time. William Lane was taken aback, You dont have to record a show this weekend. Yeah, Kevin rk said, but no time. Before he got the marriage certificate, he would never let William Lane meet the little girl. William Lane obviously noticed a hint of hostility from Kevin rk: Allonzo Hobson held his wine ss and nced at the two with rolling eyes, understanding immediately. It must be because of thest auction when his Brook Sister mentioned the idea of wanting to marry William Lane. Kevin rk unterally considered him a love rival. Ohmen. Hiding her so well? William Lane smiled, Not even letting me see her. Kevin rk gave him a nce but remained silent. Allonzo Hobson said, Its not difficult if you want to see her. Brook Sisters drama is so popr, and a new one will be aired in a few days. There must be a lot of publicity during this time. You can see her online. Roy Madison only has phone calls and text messages as means ofmunication, and no chatting social software, Hugo rkined. Do you think he would go online? Ah, I forgot, Allonzo Hobsonughed. Young Master Lane is still living an ancient life. William Lane said, Seeing her online is not so interesting. If I want to see her, I want to see her in person. Kevin rk gaze at him, his eyes filled with coldness. William Lane looked at him with a smile in his eyes. The two stared at each other, as if an electric current connected them, making crackling noises. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson were very in sync, not interfering with the two of them, and quietly watched them from the side. Soon, Charles Amos tugged on Kevin rks clothes, rubbed his eyes, buried his head in his arm, and whispered, Im sleepy. Kevin rk looked down at him, not noticing that he had made everyone so sleepy, Which ce should we go to? Wilton Edwards ce, Charles Amos mumbled with his head buried. Kevin rk pressed on his head, Get up, Ill take you there. Charles Amos didnt move. No going back? Kevin rk said. Charles Amos still didnt move and looked up at him with his eyes filled with fatigue and blurred vision. Get off and walk by yourself. Charles Amos still didnt move: Im sleepy. Too sleepy to walk? Yes. The other three people were watching them both. A hint of fierceness appeared in Kevin rks eyes, and he held a stalemate with him for a while. In the end, he picked him up. Charles Amos immediately hugged his neck, still giggling drowsily. He knew that Kevin rk would definitely hold him. Because he was afraid that if he told on him, people would say he was abusive. So easy to manipte. How could Kevin rk not see through his little mind games? Being forced by the little girls authority, he could onlyply with this little brat. Otherwise, this little brat could make a scene. Anyway, there was still one week left. Once he became official, he would stand up straight. Lets go. Have fun, you guys. Kevin rk said, holding Charles Amos in his arms. William Lane raised his eyebrows. Last year at the hotel entrance, he was disdainful, but now he was pampering him. In his lifetime, he could actually see a child in Kevin rks arms. Allonzo Hobson also got up and said, Well, Im going too. Lets go together. Youre going back too? William Lane looked at him in surprise, Arent you staying up all night here? Someones waiting at home. Allonzo Hobson replied. The girl from the Scott family? William Lane had heard about the news of the Scott familying to the Imperial Capital. Allonzo Hobson lifted his eyebrow, Lets go. William Lane watched the two of them leave, his mind filled with mixed emotions. The one who used to hate children most now held a child in his arms, and by the looks of it, hes held a lot. The most unfaithful one started going home before ten oclock. And William Lane looked at Hugo rk. The one who rarely came out was with him till the end. What on earth had made them change like this? Arent you leaving? William Lane asked. Hugo rk poured some wine into a ss, swirled the wine around, and said straightforwardly, The night the Scott family came to the Imperial Capital, Amelie ran out of school with Lady Zane to see themotion with Allonzo. William Lanes smile froze for a moment at the bottom of his eyes, and his expression became serious as he waited for him to continue. On the way back, Amelie fell asleep leaning against Lady Zane, Hugo rk said, looking at him. She dreamed of L Campbell. William Lane furrowed his brow as he listened. Seeing his expression, Hugo rk said slowly, After waking up from the dream, Amelie cried for a long time. William Lanes eyes trembled, and it took him several tries before he could say, Did she, did she dream of L? Yeah. William Lane was stunned for a moment, then he poured himself a ss of wine and took a sip. His sister, he understood. After what Hugo rk said, he had a general idea. For all these years, his family had been deceived by her. She didnt want to forget L, she was hiding herself so that they wouldnt worry about her. She made everyone think she was heartless and didnt need anyfort. She often pretended to casually ask him to go home, and would also casuallypete for attention. Everything was deliberately said for him to hear. Hugo rk saw that he didnt speak and added, Have you ever thought about why she doesnt learn anything and doesnt even want to go to school? William Lane clenched his fingers slowly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged out. The answer to the question that had puzzled him for a long time suddenly became clear. She felt that her life was exchanged for Ls and that she didnt deserve the things L didnt get to enjoy. The private room seemed to be suddenly covered with ayer of dust, as if dust was blocking the air, making it difficult to breathe. Today, she thought there was a sniper on the mountainside, so she protected Lady Zane under her body, Hugo rk said quietly, Thats what caused Lady Zane to be injured. William Lane clenched and released his hand, his fingertips trembling uncontrobly. Back then, in the F Continent, it was the sniper rifle aimed at Olivia Lane that had its scope reflecting the light. Charlotte Lane had noticed it and risked running to her side to push her away. Olivia was pushed to the ground, while Charlotte was hit by a motorcycle that suddenly rushed up and fell off the cliff into the sea. It all happened too quickly, too suddenly, no one had seen whether Charlotte had been hit by that shot or not. William Lane closed his eyes. His sister knew everything and had been living in guilt and shadow all this time. Today, she even wanted to make up for it with her own life. But he had made her cry today. Hugo rk watched him for a while, drank the wine in his ss in one gulp, then left without saying anything. He had said everything he needed to, and William Lane understood. William Lane sat in the private room until three oclock in the early morning. He didnt drink, but stayed sober and thought about everything Amelie had been through in the past ten years. Then he realized that he had spent too little time with her, and there were very few things he could actually remember. After sitting in the private room for a long time, William Lane went to the parking lot of Doomsday Hotel and asked the driver to take him to Oxford City. Chapter 312 - 288: Wanting to Write Her Name on the Family Tree Chapter 312: Chapter 288: Wanting to Write Her Name on the Family Tree Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane and the others had one more day left to experience the life of specialized students. Early in the morning, right after they got up, they were called to the yground to gather and were asked to runps with the sports students. The Program Team saw that Daisys hand was injured and originally wanted her to rest. But Daisy said it wouldnt affect her, so she just followed everyone else in running. In the beginning, all eight of them managed to follow along convincingly. However, after onep around the 400-meter track, it was evident that Serena Buster and Celeste Martin had fallen behind. With one hand on their waists, the two of them struggled to move forward, feeling as if their lungs were about to explode from gasping. Each breath caused a stabbing pain in their chest. Their legs felt as though they were filled with lead, unable to move. After two moreps, the few boys gradually fell behind as well, and they couldnt run anymore. All of them were in their twenties, and they rarely engaged in any sports other than filming. Suddenly, joining a long-distance run without properly adjusting their breathing from the start was challenging. Soon, they couldnt continue running. At first, there were photographers following both the front and the rear group. Butter, the photographers couldnt keep up either. Feeling like they had enough close-up materials, they switched to using the cameras mounted on the side. Only Daisy kept following the sports students without missing a single step. After anotherp, Daisy surpassed George Dunn and Turner Daniel by an entirep. She caught up from behind and then slowed down, leisurely saying, Must be getting old, huh? George Dunn: Turner Daniel gasped and looked at Daisy, asking, Sister Lucia, arent you tired? Not too bad. Whats wrong with being older? George gasped, I, I am older. But Turner is young, and hes like this too. Youre really going topare yourself to a child? Daisy retorted. Im not a child anymore, Turner suddenly said, Im only six years younger than Sister Lucia. Daisy nced at him, not paying much attention, and then patted George on the shoulder, saying, Your health is most important, dont push yourself. After that, she quickened her pace and went to catch up with the sports student she had been following. George felt so refuted by her that he almost couldnt catch his breath. He had known Daisy for many years, and naturally, he knew she liked to tease those she was close to. The main issue was that he could never refute her, and this annoyed him a lot. Celeste eventually couldnt run anymore and slowly walked on the track. Soon, Daisy ran past her. Looking at Daisys receding figure, a strong doubt crawled up in Celestes heart. If it was about studying, the Program Team provided her with topics, arranged scripts for her, and let her shine. But in the art ssroom, she had witnessed Daisy painting with her own eyes. So skilled, so professional, with such a deep foundation. It couldnt be something she temporarily practiced for the show. With such things happening right under their eyes, it wasnt possible for her to fake it. Moreover, Daisy seemed to be able to run very well, as if she never got tired. Did she have to run every day while living in the countryside? Or did her tough life made her so endurant? The coach had been watching on the yground, thinking they would stop running after a fewps. He didnt pay too much attention and kept watching his own students. But by the fifthp, when Daisy was still following, his gaze was drawn to her. That pretty girl, who even in a school uniform showed her slender figure, surprisingly had such endurance. He thought she was just a decorative vase, but it turned out this vase was solid. The coach clearly felt that Daisy seemed very rxed. So when Daisy passed in front of him, he ran to catch up with her. Can you keep running? Daisy nced at him and answered with an affirmative. Can you lead them to run? asked the coach. One of the boys who had been running in frontughed and said, Coach, youre crossing the line. Its already impressive for her to keep up with us, why are you making it difficult for her? Exactly, teased another boy. Coach, theres a reason why youve been single all this time; you dont know how to treat women with tenderness. Dont put people on the spot like that. The coach ignored them and just looked at Daisy Zane: Can you do it? Daisy Zane looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly: Yes. The thirty-something single coach saw a beautiful girl suddenly assertive and confident, raising her eyebrow at him. His face instantly reddened to the roots of his ears. He even held his breath for a moment. He was stunned for a second, and his running speed slowed down. He suddenly understood the obsession of those crazy fans chasing celebrities. Just at the moment he was stunned, Daisy Zane elerated from the outer ring, overtaking several boys in front of her. Her legs were long, and after stretching them, her strides were huge. Her school uniform jacket was blown back by the wind, and her hands moved rhythmically. The ponytail she was wearing swayed gently with her steps. Soon, Daisy Zane overtook several boys in front of her, and before long, she was ahead by a distance. The boys were stunned for a moment but then immediately tried to catch up with her. However, they soon realized they couldnt. No one had thought that a girl could elerate to that level after running over 2000 meters. This kind of explosive power and endurance wasnt something any of them had. In autumn, the morning wind was a bit cool. Daisy Zane had broken a sweat and ran against the wind on the yground. Surrounded by students in their school uniforms like her, and a little further away, in the ssrooms sat seventeen and eighteen-year-olds working hard for their futures. The refreshing wind glided over her skin, and Daisy Zane curled the corners of her lips. At this moment, she felt she was just like them, in the most unrestrained age, the most carefree age, full of expectations for the future and bewildering age. At this age, perhaps not doing well in exams was the most significant issue. Beyond that, she didnt have to consider or think about anything else. She was just responsible for enjoying her youth. George Dunn and Turner Daniel were instinctively unwilling to give in to their physical endurance and persisted in running. But then they suddenly saw Daisy Zane speed up, and both gradually stopped. Catching their breath while watching her. It could be said that everyone on the yground was watching her. George Dunn and Turner Daniel were both a little stupefied. Daisy Zanes appearance was both cold and stunning, which indeed had nothing to do with immaturity, after all, it didnt belong to that type. Her temperament, besides being intrinsically cold, also had a maturity and steadiness from within. That kind of stability and maturity made it seem like nothing could ever shake her. Even in usual jokes, she never lost that temperament. But now it was different, the Daisy Zane running on the yground. Although they were far away from her and could only see her figure, they both felt the sudden burst of vitality in her. Her whole person shone brilliantly with that youthful vitality, incredibly dazzling. Turner Daniel watched her, his eyes constantly drawn to her. His heart filled with her presence as she upied more and more of it. He was born into an extraordinarily distinguished family. Both his grandparents and mother were university professors in different fields. His grandfather and fathers status was even more prestigious. Seeing his familys outstanding achievements, he thought the people around him were unremarkable. He knew it was because of his good genes, but he didnt pay much attention to the people around him, nor had there been anyone worth noticing. But Daisy Zane was different. The first time he saw her, he just thought she was exceedingly beautiful. So beautiful that an asional nce was satisfying. He didnt pay too much attention or care about her. Until the first period of Math ss, when he saw her solving methods. Andter, when he saw her thoroughly researching his mothers Math methods. He couldnt help but notice her. The more he paid attention to her, the more outstanding he found her. It seemed there was nothing she couldnt do. The more he felt this way, the more he wanted to add her to his family tree Chapter 313 - 289: Appetite… Chapter 313: Chapter 289: Appetite Trantor: 549690339 The distance between the yground and the cafeteria is quite far. So, athletes have an earlier mealtime. Whening out of the yground, Daisy Zane unzipped her school uniform. She was too hot and had sweated a lot. But as soon as she unzipped it, Turner Daniel said, Daisy, the wind is cold. Dont take it off, be careful not to catch a cold. Hearing his words, George Dunn nced at him. Daisy Zane also looked at him and said, Hmmm. She had sweated all over, and her clothes were sticking to her body, but she didnt stop taking them off. Just then, several athletes from the yground walked by. Several people were leaning on each other, exhausted, but their eyes looked very energetic. After passing by Daisy Zane, they all respectfully shouted, Daisy. They just greeted the others casually. Daisy Zanes eyes showed a hint of a smile, and she raised her eyebrows as if to acknowledge them. Daisy, will youe tomorrow morning? one of the boys asked. Tomorrow we are running short races. Ill be in the ssroom tomorrow. Daisy Zane resumed her usual demeanor, as if the person sprinting on the yground wasnt her. Thats a shame. A few boys chatted casually with Daisy Zane while walking towards the cafeteria. Celeste Martin walked beside Serena Buster and saw that none of the boys looked at her even once, as if treating them like air. Her heart felt choked like a block of stone, unable to breathe. It was just brute strength and being able to run. What was there to be proud of? It wasnt an elegant sport, but it could still be shown off. Working in the countryside, ones physical strength improves, but its not something to treasure. Daisy Zane didnt talk much, but she still responded to the questions. Moreover, she talked about some useful things that were helpful to them. The boys kept talking to Daisy Zane until they reached the cafeteria before reluctantly parting to eat. Daisy Zane, how do you know everything? Serena Buster suddenly said. Hearing her words, Celeste Martin muttered in her heart. So what if she knew? Its all not good stuff anyway. I have some understanding. After she finished speaking, her cell phone rang in her pocket. It was a call from Olivia Lane. She answered the phone, Whats wrong, little girl? Olivia Lanes voice was weak, as if she hadnt woken up. She said, Look to the left. Daisy Zane turned her head to the left and saw Olivia Lane standing on the edge of the cafeteria. Come here, I brought you breakfast. Olivia Lane said. Huh? My brother asked Aunt to make it. Olivia Lane finished speaking and hung up the phone before sitting down. Daisy Zane put her phone back in her pocket and said to George Dunn and the others, You guys go eat. My deskmate brought me food. Instantly, the other seven people remembered their own deskmates. Then they all headed to the window to get their food. Daisy Zane went to find Olivia Lane. When she arrived at the table, she saw a table full of refined breakfast and raised her eyebrows. This Young Master Lane is he afraid that she has two stomachs? My brother said he didnt know what you like, so he asked the cook to prepare a few extra dishes. Olivia Lane exined. Daisy Zane sat down, Then you can pass on my thanks to Young Master Lane. Whats there to thank? Olivia Lane said, My brother and Harton rk grew up together, they have a very good rtionship. Daisy Zane smiled, picked up a spoon and took a sip of soup. The bone soup was very vorful. But Daisy Zane suddenly paused and frowned. Whats wrong? Doesnt it taste good? Olivia Lane asked. Daisy Zane looked at the soup and then at Olivia Lane, No, its delicious. Why are you frowning then? Daisy Zane took another pan-fried bun, and after taking a bite, a glimmer flickered in the bottom of her eyes too. But it was not as strong as the previous reaction, she said softly, It tastes very good. Of course, Aunt Cruzs cooking is the best, Olivia Lane said proudly. Is that the Aunt Cruz? Daisy Zane asked casually. Yes, Aunt Cruz can do anything. Daisy Zane smiled and took another sip of the soup. The taste of the soup was so familiar, as if she had tasted it somewhere before, but she couldnt remember where. But she didnt think too much about it. Maybe she had tasted something simr somewhere else before, but she wouldnt care too much about such trivial matters. After finishing a bowl of soup, Daisy Zane scooped up another bowl for herself. Without caring what she scooped up, she dumped everything into her bowl. Olivia Lane then saw Daisy Zane frowning at the two pieces of white radish in her bowl. Just as Olivia Lane was about to speak, she watched Daisy Zane eat the radish pieces. Calmly and without any abnormal reaction. Daisy Zane wasnt snobbish or pretentious when it came to eating. She was delightful to watch, showing exceptional etiquette and manners. Watching her eat one piece of radish, Olivia asked, Do you eat white radish? Daisy Zane looked at her, saw her surprised expression, and hesitated, Do I not eat white radish? You Olivias words reached her mouth, but she quickly swallowed them back, Its nothing. She might still be a little sleepy and confused. Why, dont you like it? Daisy asked, Its not good to be picky. Mind your own business. Olivia poked at the pan-fried buns in front of her a few times. Although they brought a lot of breakfast, it was eventually eaten almostpletely. Olivia Lane was already full and just watched Daisy Zane seemingly eating slowly but actually quite fast, consuming a lot of food. How could she maintain her figure eating this much? What they both didnt know was that early this morning, both William Lane and Allonzo Hobson found out what Daisy Zane liked to eat. As for why they didnt ask Kevin rk, it was because William Lane felt that due to Kevin rks inexplicable hostility towards him, he wouldnt tell him. Among the four of them, except for Kevin rk, Allonzo Hobson was the one who had the most contact with Daisy Zane. However, Allonzo Hobson told him that his sister Lucia could eat anything and everything. The only requirement was to prepare more. He was a bit surprised and suddenly felt Allonzo Hobsons words were not very reliable. After all, preparing too much for a girl could also be seen as impolite. So, he asked Hugo rk. As a result, Hugo rk said that it should be prepared twice the amount of Olivias portion. But in the end, what was sent from home was much more than twice the amount. However, Daisy Zane almost ate all of it, because it was indeed delicious. She had tried every dish, but each one tasted different from what was avable outside. And all this was arranged by William Lane on the way. It wasnt until past eight oclock that he arrived at the ce where Old Master Lane lived in Oxford City. Due to its geographical location, Oxford City has a great climate, which is very suitable for the elderly. Old Master Lane purposely moved to the countryside to slow down his lifes rhythm. The car stopped in front of the courtyard. The courtyard was very spacious. As far as the eye could see, there were various fruit trees and flowers. Usually, the servants took good care of the ce in an exquisite manner. Not only did they ensure the growth of the fruits, but they also maintained the aesthetic appeal and artistic sense of the fruit trees. With various flowers interspersed among the trees. Upon entering this ce, one had a feeling of entering a fairnd. Regardless of the different scenery since hisst visit, William Lane had no mood to enjoy the view. Instead, he went straight into the house. He had not slept all night, a trace of fatigue on his face, but his mind was clear. He wanted to see Old Master Lane immediately and talk to him. Chapter 314 - 290: Return to the Imperial Capital Chapter 314: Chapter 290: Return to the Imperial Capital Trantor: 549690339 The dwelling of Old Master Lane was a single-story house in the front courtyard. When William Lane arrived, the Old Master was feeding birds on the porch. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to the back. After seeing the exhausted and self-ming expression in Williams eyes, he put down the spoon, ced his left hand behind him, and rubbed the longevity lock in his hand. Grandfather, William called as he walked to the porch. Old Master Lane was dressed in a Tang-style suit. Over eighty years old, his hair waspletely white, but he stood tall and appeared quite spirited. He looked at William, his expression and voice calm and steady throughout, When did youe back? Arrived in the Imperial Capitalst night. Didnt sleep a wink? asked Old Master Lane. Mm. The old man nced at him and walked toward the room. It seemed he deliberately avoided giving any bad news, so he specifically asked, Did Olivia get into trouble again? William followed him, Henry rk returned to the Imperial Capital. Kidnapped Olivia. Old Master nced back at him, and it seemed as if a hurricane had swept through his eyes, but they quickly returned to calm, Hows Olivia? Shes fine. Arthurs girlfriend was recording a show at her school. William said, She rescued her just in time. Old Master Lane felt relieved, sat in the Spring and Autumn chair, and looked at William. Arthurs girlfriend? Does Arthur have a girlfriend now? For almost a year now. Old Master Lane stroked the longevity lock in his hand for a long while without speaking. After a while, he sighed softly, I always thought Arthur would be my grandson-inw. William looked at the longevity lock without speaking. Charlotte she liked Arthur so much. William fell into recollection, silent for a while, with the corners of his mouth turning up, When she was one year old, the moment she got into Arthurs arms, she kissed him with a face full of drool. Old Master Lane also smiled and said, She really enjoyed spending time with Arthur. If she saw him and wasnt embraced by him, she would cry endlessly. Arthur took advantage of his good looks, despite hating children, he would carry her around all day. Back then, you always guarded against Arthur stealing your sister. Just like guarding against a thief, Old Master Lane said, Later, when Charlotte grew older, you didnt let Arthur see her. The little girl kept calling him Brother Arthur, which annoyed me. The more I asked her to call him Third Uncle, the more she wanted to call him brother. William thought back to his overflowing jealousy, I only had that one sister, and I couldnt let my position as her brother be taken away. I also really like Arthur, Old Master Lane said, Arthur, you, and Charlotte. I trained all of you as my own sessors. But in the end, you three You were not home, Arthur ruined his own reputation, and Charlotte Back then, Old Master Lane held a high-ranking position, butter retired due to old age. Because of the existence of the Doomsday Hotel, the old man rarely intervened in the Lane Familys affairs. His younger brother managed it. After Williams father grew older, Old Masters younger brother handed over the Doomsday Hotel and the entire Lane Family business to Williams father and went on a world tour. Now, no one knew where he was, but at least he still kept the family safe every month. As a result, Williams father did not take over from the elderly Lane. Old Master Lane skipped a generation to train them. Tell me, whats the matter withing over today? The old man stroked his fingertips and asked. William sat upright in a single chair beside him, hesitated, and said, Grandfather, Olivia not long ago, she had a dream of seeing Charlotte crying for a long time. Although Old Master Lane was getting old, his mind was still sharp. As soon as William spoke, the elderly man understood, This child Grandfather, I feel that I am a very unqualified elder brother, William said with a bowed head. I couldnt protect Charlotte, and I couldnt take care of Olivia. Old Master Lane was silent for a long while before saying, This child I always thought we were spoiling her too much. It turned out that she has fooled all of us. As a brother, I am unqualified. said William, I thought I knew her well enough, but it turned out that I didnt know her at all. Any ordinary person who could deceive the entire Lane family William, you bear too much burden, said the old man. Its not your fault. Your parents and I bear the main responsibility. William shook his head, Im so sorry for her. Looking at his bowed head, Old Master Lane probably understood his purpose ining. There were some things he couldnt decide on, things he could never let go of. So, after the two were silent for a while, Old Master Lane made the decision for him, William, return to the Imperial Capital. With his bowed head, bent waist, and hands covering his eyes, William spoke. Ten years Old Master Lane held the longevity lock in his hand with trembling fingertips. The best ten years, all wasted in F Continent. Let it go, and think about yourself for a change. William didnt say a word. Olivia is also neen, and in a few years, she will be of marriageable age. Old Master Lane said, While she is still at home, spend more time with her. William returning to the Imperial Capital meant that people would remain in F Continent, still looking for Charlotte. But with Williaming back, it was like announcing a piece of bad news to everyone. Charlotte couldnt be found. She disappeared forever. Perhaps she was no more Grandfather, Im sorry, William said in a muffled voice. Old Master Lane sighed softly, Perhaps our fate as grandfather and granddaughter, father and daughter, mother and daughter, brother and sister, and sisters with Charlottested only for those few years. There is nothing to be sorry for. In these ten years, while you were in F Continent, you still managed the family business. Youre the one whos the most tired. Its me who lost Charlotte. Its not you, said the Old Master. No one expected the attack, it couldnt be helped. Its not your fault. William couldnt let go of his two younger sisters. But, Charlotte had been missing for ten years without any news. Whereas, Olivia had been living in the shadows, immersed in guilt. So, Old Master Lane made this decision for him. After all it had been ten years. In that area of the sea a person falling could simply vanish without a trace. It was entirely possible. Not being able to find her for ten years, the chances of survival were slim. William stayed with Old Master Lane until noon before leaving. While he was there, the old man seemed quite normal. As soon as he left, the Old Master got up from the chair, feeling dizzy and unsteady on his feet, almost falling down. Fortunately, the housekeeper was close by and supported him in time, Old Master, are you feeling unwell? Old Master Lane sat back down in the chair, waved off the housekeeper with a gesture and said, Its fine, its fine. Just need a little rest, Ill be alright. This wont do, the housekeeper looked at the nearby servant, Go to the backyard and call the doctor. Old Master Lane tightly clutched the longevity lock in his hand, closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and said in a deep voice, Its nothing, its nothing. Perhaps my blood pressure is a little high, but its not a big problem. Ill just rest for a while. He hadnt found his Charlotte yet, hadnt found her yet. He couldnt let anything happen to him Chapter 315 - 291 Dance Class Chapter 315: Chapter 291 Dance ss Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zanes lunch was still brought by Amelie Quentin, and it was a lot. Daisy Zane admitted that she ate quite a lot, but not to this extent. With the principle of not wasting food in mind, she tried her best to eat. Shed eaten quite a bit in the morning, and it hadnt fully digested yet. Even if it was delicious, shed done her best. So much so that when she went to dance ss in the afternoon and put on her workout clothes, she felt her stomach was protruding. Plus, when she stepped on the electronic scale in the dance room, she was four pounds heavier than usual. When Daisy Zane stepped off the scale, everyone in the dance ss felt a sudden cold breeze. However, looking at Daisy Zane, they didnt notice anything odd. The focus of todays dance practice was primarily on basic skills. The dance teacher, who was hired from outside the school, had a great demeanor. In addition, they had arranged for an in-house teacher for their group of eight, to teach them some technical skills, basic skills. Because all eight of them said they hadnt learned before. The teacher treated them as beginners and was especially gentle when teaching basic skills. While the other teacher, who was leading the other students, was quite strict. Other than being loud, she really went in hard. The eight of them were doing leg stretches on this side, while the other teacher was showing them chest and shoulder openers. One student even fainted at the touch. The teacher remained expressionless throughout. For a moment, Serena Busters face turned pale. One of the boys even let loose some curses. The in-house teacher assured them, Its fine, these are all normal. So they, on the one hand, endured their pain, while on the other, they watched the normal phenomenon on the other side. The students finished chest and shoulder opening, and then they all did leg stretches on the bar. The way they stretched their legs was different than these eight. They all had one leg up on the bar, the other leg drawn back, their legs forming a straight 180 degree angle. Even 180 degrees wasnt enough as they stretched their legs on the bar, the teacher came around and pressed each of them further down. At the end, the students couldnt draw their legs back from the bar. Their hips were fixed in ce. They drew back, little by little. Of course, some cried out in pain, but those cries fell on deaf ears. The teacher saw no tears, only more pressure to be applied. So the dance studios floor was covered with not only sweat but also tears. And this was only the basic practice before each ss. Initially, the eight of them watched the students cry, but soon it was their turn. Because the outside teacher, taking advantage of the students practicing on their own, came for them. Except for Daisy Zane, who gave the teacher a nce and remained calm, the other seven, watching the teacher walk over, felt like they were being approached by a devil. They even had the urge to run away. Luckily, the heavy penalty for breaching the contract they signed before attending the show kept them grounded. After roughly understanding the situation of these eight, knowing they allcked basic skills, she nced at Daisy Zane. She then asked, None at all? Daisy Zane, standing at the back, didnt speak. It was the others who responded. The teacher nodded, indicating her understanding, and said, The program team told me not to take it easy on you. The seven of them all stepped back in unison at these words. Especially George Dunn, who retreated a significant step backwards. If it werent for Daisy Zanes quick reaction, he would have stepped on her. Seeing their reactions, the corners of the teachers mouth curled up as she said in a low voice, Lets start with leg splits then. Teacher, I think we can still negotiate, one of them said. Yeah, teacher. Were not young anymore, we cant handle it. Yeah, thats right. Brother Michael is already in his thirties Whats the matter? George Dunn didnt like what he heard, Why is there age discrimination? The teacher didnt bother with what they were saying, she just ordered, Get the cushions and lie down. The eight of them could only get the cushions. They were divided into pairs one lying on the ground, and the other holding one leg straight while the teacher continued to press the other leg down. To push their flexibility to the limit. George Dunn and Turner Daniel were paired. George Dunnid down while Turner Daniel held his leg, and the teacher lifted his other leg. Ny degrees was already George Dunns limit. But the teacher was very hard-handed, with great strength, pressing down hard. George Dunns handsome face was almost twisted: Teacher! Please let me go. Im really too old for this. The teacher ignored him. The veins on George Dunns forehead bulged, his face had turned red, and he began to sweat quickly: Teacher, I He choked back his foul words, and after a moment of endurance, George Dunn was really struggling: Teacherthis Looking at the teachers face, George Dunn choked back his words again. If there werent girls around, and the teacher wasnt a woman, he really wanted to ask if this wouldnt affect his future life. His family is still counting on him to continue the family line. Holy hell, he was really stretched! Teacher! George Dunn felt like a fish pinned down on the chopping board, unable to flip over. Count to sixty. The teacher said. One, two, three George Dunn began to count rapidly. Daisy Zane stood next to him, looking at his struggle, she couldnt help but startughing softly. River God, youreughing at me, George saw herughing and whimpered, There will be a time when you cry yet you dare tough. Dont you have a shred of pity seeing your male lead in this state? Is it your first day knowing me? Do I look like someone whospassionate? Daisy Zaneughed. Unable to count his numbers anymore, George said in despair, Teacher, sixty, sixtys over. I didnt hear it. George Dunn: Count again. George Dunn: Then the teacher gave him pressure again, and George immediately said, One, two, three After moving one leg, there was the other. Then it was someone elses turn. Daisy Zane was the sixth one to get her turn. The five before her were all men, all sweating profusely, copsed on the ground, rubbing their legs. They felt their legs werepletely useless, and they couldnt stand up anymore. Teacher, please be gentler with my River God, George Dunn looked at Daisy Zane andughed with a smirk, Better yet, make her cry immediately. Youre really looking for death, wanting River God to cry. Another boy said, River God, Im talented in acting and my looks arent bad. I honestly feel the main male lead can be reced by someone else. Eh? Publicly snatching resources now. Cant you plot behind my back? George Dunn said. If I do it behind your back, itll seem insincere. So snatching publicly is being George Dunn watched as the teacher easily stretched Daisy Zanes leg to 180 degrees and suddenly widened his eyes, What the hell? Everyone was stunned. Turner Daniel, who was taken aback for a moment, whispered, Is there anything Sister X cant do? Sister X is omnipotent. Hearing this, the color in Celeste Martins eyes deepened. Seeing the teacher press Daisy Zanes leg, Serena Buster, had been so shocked that she covered her mouth and let go of Daisy Zanes legs. Daisy Zane, realizing the teacher was about to let go, braced her legs, and thus didnt budge. Seeing this, a smile appeared in the teachers eyes, and she raised an eyebrow at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane knew what she meant, and said, Flexible. The teacher didnt say anything when she didnt admit it. If it hadnt been for the leg injury years ago, Sophie Ortizs only student wouldnt have been Ste Edwards. Daisy had always been Sophie Ortizs most valued student. Who would know if they hadnt learned to dance, she could always tell at one nce. Everyone was wearing the same practice clothes, white tops, and ck pants. Although the outfits were the same, when Daisy Zane stood there, her figure, temperament, appearance, and aura were all the most exceptional. The teacher had noticed her when she entered the ssroom. The teacher was sure that not only did she know how to dance, but her dance foundation should be very solid. It was just that she didnt admit it, and the teacher felt a sense of regret for not being able to see her dance showcase. After the other leg was done, the teacher looked at her for a while, then suddenly said, You remind me of my younger student sister. Daisy Zane looked up at her, and through her eyes saw the sadness and regret in her heart. She didnt say much, just politely smiled a little in response. Daisy Zanes legs were done stretching quickly. She got up and moved around, and as George Dunn watched her in astonishment, she walked over to him, stepped on his hand on the ground, very deliberately yet casually. Though she was wearing dance shoes, it wouldnt cause much harm. But Daisy Zane had used force. George painfully shivered and said, River God, my hand. The hand of your male lead, you were so harsh. Daisy Zane looked down at him, quietly saying, Hmm, I was taking revenge. Cant you tell? George Dunn held his hand and said: Chapter 316 - 292: The Meals of the Lane Family Are Very Tasty Chapter 316: Chapter 292: The Meals of the Lane Family Are Very Tasty Trantor: 549690339 After half a day of dance ss, the eight of them walked out of the dance ssroom towards the cafeteria. Not only were they drenched in sweat, but everyone except Daisy Zane was also walking with a limp. The more they tried to walk normally, the more their legs refused to cooperate. The eight of them instantly became a spectacr sight. In order to avoid any unnecessary attention, Daisy Zane nced at the other seven and then mercilessly left them behind. Brook God. Daisy. Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane, deaf to their calls, made her way to the cafeteria. Arriving at the cafeteria, she nced at the spot where she had eaten breakfast and lunch. Sure enough, she saw Amelie Quentin waiting for her. She walked over and gently tapped the table with her finger. Amelie Quentin, who had her headphones on and was ying a game, nced up when she noticed the movement on the table. She froze for a moment when she saw Daisy Zane. Daisy was still in her practice outfit, her hair tied up in a bun. It magnified her usual grace several times, and added a touch of uniquenessmon to dancers. Seeing Amelie Quentin staring, Daisy Zane poked her smooth little face, What, dont you recognize me? You you took a dance ss? Amelie Quentin stuttered, regaining her senses. Yeah. Daisy Zane sat down, put on a disposable glove, peeled a shrimp to eat, and then peeled another one for Amelie Quentin, Dont bother bringing my lunch tomorrow, Ill eat in the cafeteria. Tell that to my brother, Amelie Quentin replied, he was the one who sent it. Can you help me pass the message along to him? No. Daisy Zane shot her a look,ughed, and dropped the matter. Daisy Zane had a substantial dinner and had nned to go for a run on the yground after the evening self-study. But that didnt happen. The assistant gave her two experiments that needed to be done. The reports had to be handed in tomorrow afternoon. So she sent a message to James Collins, who had just arrived at Imperial Capital University, asking him to bring herptop and wait for her outside the school. After the evening self-study, she returned to her dormitory. It didnt take long before she received a call from Kevin rk. She went to the balcony to receive the call. Kevin rks voice sounded hoarse as if he hadnt spoken in a long time, Does your hand hurt? No. Remember to apply the medicine in the evening. Hmm. After Daisy Zane agreed, she asked, Did they catch the person at the school? Yes, we checked the surveince. Kevin rk replied, It was a cleaner. The same cleaner you asked for directions. Daisy Zane squinted; she suddenly remembered that when she asked where the trash bin was, the cleaners eyes had flickered. She was too busy then, so she hadnt paid attention, How did heend up near the art building? ording to his confession, he followed Amelie Quentin from the teaching building to the garbage pit, and after passing on the message. He was too scared, so he chose a location far from both the teaching building and the garbage pit. The art building. People are being bribed to go inside the school. Daisy Zane stated, A lot of effort has been put into this. What about Edward Kirstens people? Have they confessed anything? No, they said they were just following orders. Kevin rk replied, And we checked; they dont have any tattoos on them. Last time Edward Kirsten was almost exposed, he managed to withdraw from Koymoon Ind as soon as he learned his people were captured. He would definitely not make the same mistake again this time. Daisy Zane said nothing. If they couldnt find Edward Kirstens people soon, they would probably have to wait for Edward Kirstens power to rebuild ande to her directly. Seeing that she didnt reply, Kevin rk changed the subject, softly asking, Little girl, did you eat properly today? Hmm. Young Master Lane sent me a meal. The words that Daisy Zane chose werentpletely intentional, but they werent entirely idental either. Unsurprisingly, Kevin rk who had been busy in theb all day without watching the surveince fell silent. Hearing his silence, Daisy Zaneughed to herself. William Lane. After a moment of silence, Kevin rk gently uttered his name. A smile yed again around the corners of Daisys mouth, and she said, The Lanes meals are pretty good. Little Girl, Kevin said, his tone stern and yet softened, Is it as good as the food at my ce? Do you want the truth? Kevin took a soft breath: Never mind, I dont want to hear the truth. But Daisy did not intend to let him off so easily: Well, your food is better. For a moment, Kevin didnt respond, then after a couple of seconds of silence, he asked, Little Girl, are you intentionally provoking me? Daisyughed, Yes. So you are just taking advantage of the fact that I am not there to deal with you, arent you? Teasing me. Listening to his slightly hoarse voice, Daisy was in good spirits. She replied in a gentle tone, And if you were here, you could stop me? I Kevin was speechless. Daisy chuckled again, Tell Young Master Lane to stop sending any food tomorrow. Is it not good? Kevin asked, in a tone that was both obstinate and childish. Daisy didnt answer. She was just afraid of gaining weight, Remember to tell him. Mm. After hanging up, Daisy was again urged by Olivia Lane to wash up and apply medication. Before even twelve oclock, everyone went to sleep. Daisy, however, hopped out of the restroom once more. This time, she deliberately avoided Olivia. James Collins was waiting for her outside the wall. When she got into the car, she first nced at Jamess newly dyed dark hair, and then at the hickey on his neck in the second nce. James noticed her gaze, and instinctively reached to touch his neck. Then with those flirtatious peach blossom eyes, he grinned at her. But as his gaze drifted down to Daisys hand, his expression instantly changed, Sis, what happened to your hand? Who did this? I had a little fall. You fell? James didnt believe her. Yes. Daisy changed the subject, Did it dy your escapades? Seeing that she didnt want to talk about it, James didnt pry further: How is that possible? Sis, Im quite the honest type. Do you think I believe that? Daisy nced at the hickey on his neck. This really was an ident. Alright, an ident. Daisy said nothing more, leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, James drove the car more gently, even the brakes were lighter than usual. But as he looked at her hand, his expression dimmed. After dropping Daisy off at Imperial Capital University, James drove straight to Celestial Pivot to speak with Holt Lawrence. But after understanding the situation, he found no room to put himself to use. Kevin rk has sent his Second Uncle off to M Continent Prison? James asked, He is a ruthless man. It might have been kinder to just kill him. Holt Lawrence, initially asleep, had been awakened by Jamess call. Now sitting in bed, with disheveled hair and red eyes, he remarked, You are just realizing how ruthless he is? Thats why Im really worried about Nana being with him. No need to worry about my sister. Shes really tough. Holt Lawrence nced at him and said nothing. James had spent much of his time on M Continent and Mountain Sea Continent. Celestial Pivot had always been located in the Imperial Capital. Although Kevin had made a notoriously bad name for himself, as a detective agency privy to inside information, they knew some of the truth. The impression Holt had of Kevin was terrifying, chilling, ruthless, and merciless. It was best to keep dealings with such a man limited to online, where everyone remained anonymous and transactions could be carried out smoothly. In real life, it was better not to so much as cast a second nce. He genuinely doubted Nana would have the upper hand with Kevin. Are we just decorations? Seeing the look in his eyes, the flirtatiousness in James peach blossom eyes suddenly chilled, No one can bully my sister. Chapter 317 - 293: Delivering Medicine Chapter 317: Chapter 293: Delivering Medicine Trantor: 549690339 Both experiments were rtively simple for Daisy Zane, so she left Imperial Capital University just after four oclock. James Collins was still waiting for her outside. Once she got in the car, she opened herputer and started writing the experiment report. James didnt disturb her and quietly drove the car. When they reached the outside wall of Gathering Joy Private School, Daisy not only sent the report to her assistant, but also sent the questions for the Celestial Pivot assessment to Holt Lawrence. Sister, shall I pick you up this afternoon? No need, the program team will send me back. Daisy put herputer aside, Go back, Im leaving. Okay. Daisy climbed over the wall into the school, and after reaching the dormitory building, she climbed up to the third floor and jumped into the restroom. Unnoticed, she returned to the dormitory. And she even slept for more than an hour. Today was Friday, the eight of them returned to their respective ssrooms for ss. Since experiencing the life of senior three in high school, Daisy also experienced the act of dozing off during ss. Morning self-study was fine as everyone was doing their own thing, like writing papers or reciting books. But during theter sses, as soon as the teacher started lecturing, Daisys consciousness would involuntarily sink. She felt that she wouldnt be this sleepy even if she didnt sleep for two consecutive days. As expected the ssroom was a magical ce. It rained in the morning, so there was no exercise during the long break. Daisy took advantage of this time and immediately took a nap on the desk. Marsh Turner came with a basketball, but Olivia Lane red at him just after he pped it: Keep it down. Marsh immediately held the ball in his hand, looked at Daisy, and then looked at Olivia: What happened to Daisys hand? Daisy was lying on her right arm, with her left hand on the back of her neck. I fell. Marsh moved a chair, gently ced it beside Olivia, sat down and whispered, Is it serious? Its swollen, Olivia said, Why do you have so many questions? Im just concerned. Olivia looked at him, suddenly narrowed her eyes: Marsh Turner, what do you want to do? Im just genuinely concerned. Marshs words sounded candid, but the look in his eyes betrayed him. Dont say I didnt warn you. Olivia said, Keep your thoughts to yourself, or I guarantee youll die a miserable death. Marsh smiled, obviously not taking Olivias words to heart: y a game? Olivia looked at Daisy and then looked at Marsh, and took out her cell phone. Because of the rain, the ssroom was a bit gloomy and damp. Turner Daniel was called out by the teacher after ss. And George Dunn was also called out by a phone call. William Butch sat in front, lowering his head and listening to Marsh and Olivias conversation all the time. Not until they stopped talking did he hesitate and turn his head, quickly ncing back. He nced at the wound on Daisys finger. But he only saw the gauze on her finger, and didnt see how serious the wound was. Olivia and Marsh both noticed him looking back, but both stared at their phones, pretending they hadnt seen him. Only after he turned back around did they exchange nces. They continued ying the game in silence. Just before ss, Marsh left and George returned, walking directly towards Daisys seat. Seeing her asleep, he looked at the time and was about to knock on her desk. Olivia grabbed his wrist and whispered, What are you doing? Georges school uniform was a little wet from the rain, and his wrist was also a bit cold. He looked at Olivia and then raised his other hand, shaking the medicine box in his hand. Medicine. No sooner had he uttered this single word than Daisy raised her head and looked at the two of them. Her eyes were still a bit hazy: Whats wrong? Olivia Lane let go of George Dunn, and he ced the medicine box on her desk. Third Master sent it. He said it was not convenient for him toe in as it was all students here, so he asked me to bring it. Daisy Zane looked at the box: pain relief patches, but not the kind her family usually used. Did Kevin rke? He left after delivering the medicine, replied George Dunn. Daisy Zane nced at the rain outside. The leaves on the trees outside the window were trembling, a sign of moderate rain. Just as the school bell rang, George went back to his seat. Daisy Zane looked at the medicine box for a while. After opening it, a note fell out. It was Kevin rks handwriting: [Its cold, protect your hands. The pain relief patches are transparent and not conspicuous or reflective.] The note seemed to be torn off hastily from somewhere. She folded the note and put it back in the box. Daisy Zane tore open two pain relief patches and put them on her right index finger and ring finger. She knew without thinking that Kevin rk must have consulted with Wilton Edwards about this. And Wilton Edwards probably told him a lot more. Daisy Zane looked at her fingers and raised her eyebrows. For someone to infiltrate the circle of her friends so easily was quite impressive. All this time, Olivia Lane had remained silent, watching everything. A man of such high social status, in the midst of his busy schedule, personally came to deliver pain relief patches to his girlfriend on a rainy day, just to avoid her fingers from hurting. And he didnt even meet his girlfriend face to face. She had to reevaluate her understanding of Kevin rk. Her own brother should take note and learn something. Daisy Zane still ate the food sent by the Lane family all day, and it was even delivered directly to her ssroom. Perhaps Olivia Lane mentioned to her family to cook less; today Daisy Zane didnt overeat. As it was Friday, there was no need for evening self-study. After finishing their sses in the afternoon, they could rest for two days. The rain didnt stop all day, and with the parents picking up their children, the entrance was so congested that cars couldnt even move. The program team recording the show didnt leave in a hurry, nor did Olivia Lane, Marsh Turner, or several other students. So everyone simply chatted in the ssroom. Ever since Turner Daniel left in the morning, he hadnt returned. The director said he had something at home to take care of. Everyone chatted in the ssroom until an hourter when the traffic jam at the entrance cleared up, and then they left one after another. Those who were recording the show were taken to a nearby hotel by the program team. They would all have a meal together, review the five days of shooting, and then arrange the next five days of shooting. When they left, Olivia Lane was still in the ssroom. Daisy Zane rubbed her head and asked, Has anyone from your familye yet? My brother is at the entrance, answered Olivia Lane, hesing to pick me up. Oh, alright. Im leaving now. Olivia Lane nodded her head. Hesitating for a moment, she said, Remember to apply the medicine to your arm. Okay. From upstairs, the rain didnt seem that heavy. But when they reached the first floor lobby, the first thing that greeted them was a wave of dampness, followed by ayer of water on the ground. Raindrops sshed, creating small droplets of water. Daisy Zane followed the other six people, opening her umbre as she reached the entrance. As she opened her umbre and just as it covered her head, William Lane entered the school building with his umbre. The two brushed past each other. All Daisy Zane saw were a pair of legs wearing dress pants. During normal times, she might have been curious about the persons face and looked up, but todays damp weather annoyed her, so she didnt pay much attention. With one hand in her pocket and the other holding the umbre, she just left straight away. As soon as William Lane stepped inside the school building, he suddenly stopped. Then, as if possessed, he turned to look back. But apart from seeing some people in raincoats carrying video cameras, he only saw students in school uniforms holding umbres through the gaps between them. He didnt know why he turned back, nor what he hoped to see. He furrowed his brow, closed his umbre, and entered the school building. Chapter 318 - 294: Stepping on You and Soaking You Wet Chapter 318: Chapter 294: Stepping on You and Soaking You Wet Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane had a light meal with the program team at the hotel, sitting with them until the dinner ended. She didnt talk much, nor did she participate much, mostly just listening quietly. When someone offered her a drink, she took the wine ss and had a sip. She was very low-key, but sitting there, it was hard for others to ignore her presence. More than an hourter, everyone dispersed and went their separate ways back home. The rain was still falling. A few people left the private room, and Daisy Zane, still walking at a slow pace, followed behind them, with George Dunn and Serena Buster apanying her. Celeste Martin was chatting happily with others and a few directors ahead of them. When they reached the grand hall, Celeste, who wasughing and talking with Director Nash, happened to nce at the sofa in the lobby. She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her words halted. Then she stared nkly at the direction of the sofa in the grand hall. Seeing her unusual expression, Director Nash followed her gaze. He saw Kevin rk sitting on a sofa in the grand hall, dressed in a ck suit and shirt. He sat cross-legged on the sofa, with aptop on his thighs, looking intently at theputer screen. The faint light from theptop reflected on his face, making his features appear even more mysterious and enchanting. His skin also had a slight reflection. Michael Jackson was sitting on another sofa, seeing theme out, he promptly stood up and walked over to Kevin, whispering something to him. Then Kevin raised his head, his eyes moving from Director Nash and the others, eventually settling on Daisy Zane. His sharp gaze softened instantly. Daisy was still wearing her school uniform, which made her look both obedient and cute in Kevins eyes. He closed hisputer, handed it to Michael, then picked up his coat and walked towards them. After a brief pause, Director Nash quickly reacted, leading the group of people forward and respectfully greeted, Third Master. Kevin nced at Director Nash, nodded, and looked at Daisy Zane again. Daisy also nced at him, then walked over to his side while replying to Holt Lawrences message. Holt Lawrence: [Is the question you used for the exam too difficult? I spent the whole day trying, but still could not solve the final one. Dont you want to let Celestial Pivot select people?!] Daisy Zane: [Isnt it just for the sake of my reputation?] Holt Lawrence: [But theres no need to make it that difficult, right?] Daisy Zane: [You should just step down.] Out of everyone in the grand hall, only Daisy Zane was still sending messages with her head down. The others, besides the ones who had met Kevin or knew of his identity, stood there looking dazedly at the incredibly distinguished and noble man before them. Without any introductions, they could tell from his aura alone that he was someone they couldnt afford to offend. And moreover, they could see the director treating him with great respect. While continuing to send messages, Daisy moved to stand beside Kevin without raising her head. Seeing her like this, a hint of amusement appeared in Kevins eyes. He naturally took her hand, gently caressing her bandaged fingers. Third Master, youre here to pick up Brook? Director Nash asked. Hmm. We should have dispersed earlier. Director Nash said, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her work is important. Kevin understood Director Nashs anxiety, not nning to stay any longer, and asked, Are there any more activities afterward? Hearing his words, Daisy put away her cell phone and nced at him. No, no. Director Nash replied respectfully, Please feel free, Third Master and Brook. Kevin turned to Daisy Zane, Shall we leave? Okay. Daisy agreed, then looked at Director Nash, the filming director, George Dunn, Serena Buster, and said softly, Im leaving. Director Nash responded with a smile, and George Dunn and Serena Buster also replied. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane left first. The group of people behind them stood still, watching them walk out. When they were some distance away, a boy who was also recording the show asked, Director Nash, is that Brooks boyfriend? Celeste Martin, whose gaze had been following Kevin and Daisy, shifted her focus to Director Nash upon hearing the question. Clearly, Director Nash didnt want to say more, or rather, he didnt dare to: The less you know, the safer you are. Those behind him took a soft breath. Celeste Martin pursed her lips and looked at Kevin rk and the others. Although Serena Buster knew that Kevin rk often went to the film set and everyone respected him, she didnt realize how big his background was. She was stunned and looked at George Dunn, asking softly, Is he really that powerful? Much more powerful than this. Serena Busters heart trembled, she swallowed her saliva, and didnt dare to speak anymore. At the hotel entrance, Kevin rk put his coat on Daisy Zane. Then he switched sides and held her right hand. It was a bit cold: Does it hurt? The medicine works well. Kevin rk nced at her, not showing a distressed expression, but still held her hand tightly. The two stood at the entrance, waiting for Michael Jackson to drive over and pick them up with an umbre. Kevin rk took the umbre and walked out with Daisy Zane. On the oil-paper umbre was ink bamboo paintings, raindrops hit the surface, making a light sound. Daisy Zane looked up at the umbre and then turned her head to look at Kevin rk. The surrounding lights were blurred by ayer of mist due to the rain. Kevin rk, holding the umbre, looked like a crossing-century gentleman who walked out of a painting, both bewitching and elegant. Because of the high humidity due to the rain and an entire sleepless night, Daisy Zanes mood had been somewhat low, but now she suddenly felt much better. Rainwater sshed a bit on her ankle. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes and saw a slightly lower spot near where the car stopped, where some water had umted. As she approached, Daisy Zane looked up and called out, Kevin rk. Kevin rk looked down. The next second, Daisy Zane stepped into the water at the low spot. Water sshed, all over both their legs. The ck suit pants on Kevin rk were not obvious, but Daisy Zanes blue school uniform pants were clearly wet quite a bit. Michael Jackson walked to the side of the car, waiting to open the door for them. Seeing this, his heart suddenly twitched, and he subconsciously thought that Third Master would be angry. Kevin rk saw that her pants and shoes were wet, his brow furrowed slightly. But after seeing theughter in her eyes, his brows rxed. He pinched her face: Youre so naughty. The breath Michael Jackson was holding was relieved. He forgot that the person who stepped on the water was the future Madam, and Third Master didnt dare to get angry. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows but didnt speak, continuing to walk forward. Kevin rk immediately caught up, and Michael Jackson hurriedly opened the car door. After getting in the car, Kevin rk took several tissues and leaned down to wipe the water off Daisy Zanes ankles: Did the water get into your shoes? No. Really? Yes. After wiping, Kevin rk held her ankle with his hand. Fortunately, it wasnt too cold. He sat upright and looked at her: Go to the Rose Garden? The Rose Garden was the vi Kevin rk took Daisy Zane tost time. Michael Jacksons eyes widened abruptly. What were they going there for? A man and a woman alone, without parents, without children. What did they want? Daisy Zane stared at him, her scrutinizing gaze not hidden at all. Kevin rk supported her chin with the tigers mouth and kissed her lips, smiling, What are you thinking? Your pant leg is wet, its close. Better not to catch a cold. Chapter 319 - 295: I Will Make It Public Chapter 319: Chapter 295: I Will Make It Public Trantor: 549690339 It was her first timeing to the Rose Garden, and nearly all the servants were watching Daisy Zane. By the second time, everyone had be ustomed to her presence. They treated her with the same standards as they would their own Madam. Not only were slippers prepared at the entryway, but there were subtle touches of care throughout the vi. Where the tea table had been bare during herst visit, there were now bunches of roses. It felt as if there truly was a female owner living here. After briefly ncing around outside, Daisy was led by Kevin rk into the Master Bedroom. More than half of the clothes in the master bedrooms cloakroom were prepared for her. With Kevins instructions, there were lots of skirts, all of which were chosen ording to her preferences. Daisy looked around and picked up a set of home clothes. But just as she turned around with the clothes in hand, Kevin suddenly closed in, closing the wardrobe behind her and pressing her against it. Daisy looked up at his narrowed eyes, deep and wicked at the bottom, like a wolf staring at its long-coveted prey. You dont want me to catch a cold, so you came close, Daisy said softly. Kevin hooked the corner of his lips with a slightly hoarse voice, Seeing you so well-behaved, I cant help myself. Daisy raised her eyebrows with some curiosity, never thinking anyone would use the word well-behaved to describe her. Do you like obedient girls? Daisy asked. Kevin kissed her lips and said, I like you. With that said, Kevin kissed her. His hand was gently pinching the back of her neck, as ifforting her. After a while, his hand gradually moved forward, and he gently unzipped Daisys school uniform. When her school uniform jacket fell to the ground, Daisys hand clenched Kevins shirt at his waist. Kevin noticed her nervousness, so he kissed her more gently,forting her tenderly. When she rxed, he took off one of his white shirts and put it on her over her short-sleeve top. Daisy breathed slowly, looking down at Kevins hand buttoning up the shirt for her, her brain not quite processing what was happening. Whats going on? Wearing a shirt, what kind of fetish is this, ying this wild? As for Kevin, he restrained his breathing and movements, not daring to look into Daisys eyes for fear that he would lose control. The shirt wasrge enough topletely cover her thighs, buttoning up each button one by one. Kevin then touched Daisys face and kissed her again. As they kissed, his hand moved to her waist, slowly pulling down her school uniform pants. Daisy thought Kevin would do something to her, but all he did was continue to kiss her as he changed her wet clothes. Then he carried her to the restroom. Run the water yourself, Kevin kissed her forehead, Ill go out first. With that, he left. Not only did he leave the restroom, but he also left the bedroom altogether. As if staying any longer would have made it impossible for him to leave. Daisy stood in the restroom, looking at the door, and was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned her head and looked at the mirror beside her. She saw herself in a short-sleeved shirt covered by another shirt, hiding her legs So the purpose of wearing that shirt was just to take off her wet pants. Daisy stared for a while, licked her lips, andughed quietly with her head lowered. Now, she had reason to suspect that the rk Family had a rule engrained in their DNA of not living together before marriage. If it hadnt been for Kevins strong desire to control himself after being with her, she would even have reason to suspect that he didnt like her. When Daisy finished her shower and came out, Kevin was in the living room working on hisputer. Hearing the door open, he looked up and smiled, saying, Are youing down? Daisy Zane walked downstairs without looking at the content on hisputer and asked, Are you very busy? Not too bad. Kevin rk put theputer on the sofa and got up to fetch a hairdryer from the restroom on the first floor, Should I blow-dry your hair? Daisy Zane looked at him and nodded. She sat on the carpet while Kevin rk sat on the sofa and slowly blow-dried her hair. Kevins movements were gentle, his fingers threading through her hair, soothing her scalp; it felt sofortable. Gradually, Daisys consciousness began to weigh down; she adjusted her position to find afortable one, her head leaning on his leg, and closed her eyes. Seeing her like this, Kevin chuckled softly. After her hair was dry and the hairdryer switched off, Daisy opened her eyes but did not move. Kevin leaned down and kissed her cheek: Didnt you sleep wellst night? Mm. Daisy Zane half-opened her eyes, still not moving, I didnt stay in the dormitoryst night and sneaked out. Kevin rks eyes widened slightly as he pinched her cheek, Little girl, your actions are quite serious. Sneaking out of school and not returning at night. Will I be expelled? Your parents will be called. Kevin rk said, As your guardian, I will have to go to the school to take you back home and reflect on your actions. Daisy Zane smiled and nced at theputer on the tea table. Kevin must have some crucial matters to deal with, otherwise, he rarely worked while spending time with her. Even though she didnt want to move and wished for time to stand still at this moment, she She straightened her body, stood up, her voice still emotionless as ever, Go to sleep. Kevin rk also got up and followed her upstairs. He sent her to the door of her room, kissed her and said, Good night. Mm, good night. After Daisy entered the room, Kevin rk stayed outside for a while. Then he went downstairs, picked up hisputer, and headed to theboratory. The next day, just past seven oclock, Daisy Zane was awakened by her cell phone ringing. She covered herself entirely with the quilt, hearing the phone ring, stretched out her hand from under the quilt and grabbed her phone inside the nket. Whats going on? Lucia, youre not awake yet? When Daisy heard Emily Dawsons voice, she opened her eyes and lifted the quilt to check the time, Sister Emily, whats the matter? This morning, a series of photos were released. They were of you and Third Master. Emily Dawson said directly. They must have been takenst night. Daisy Zanes eyes instantly changed from hazy to icy cold, Did they capture Kevin rk? No, they only caught his back and a side profile. The side profile also had his facial features blurred. But your image is very clear. Emily Dawson said, Moreover, they captured him pinching your cheek. Emilys meaning was that someone was trying to expose their rtionship, and denying it wouldnt hold any ground. As long as they didnt capture Kevin rk, she didnt care much, Just handle it casually. The day after tomorrow, your new drama will premiere. Emily Dawson said, My suggestion is to let it go for now. With the promotion of your new drama, let everyone think you made up the scandal on purpose to garner attention. Daisy Zane frowned slightly, her subconscious not wanting to use Kevin rk as a tool. Once she realized this, she chuckled, initially allowing him to get close to her so she could use him. Sister Emily, Ill get our marriage certificate early next month. Mm. Emily Dawson replied, it took her a moment to register what she heard. She had spoken so casually, like she was telling Emily what she had eaten in the morning, without any emotional ups and downs. Emily Dawson was silent for a moment, then raised her voice in shock, What?! Sister Emily, dont set me up as a single person. Daisy Zane said, I will make it public. Emily Dawson remained silent for a while, then asked with a trembling voice, Are you serious? Mm. Daisy Zane replied softly, Its being responsible for my fans. And also being responsible to Kevin rk. How could Emily Dawson not understand her meaning? She was asking her to prepare a public rtions n in advance and take a closer look at the leak today. Alright, I got it. Chapter 320 - 296: Madam Chapter 320: Chapter 296: Madam Trantor: 549690339 After calling Melody Collins, Daisy Zane checked the online messages. The messages had been removed, and the inte was clean, with no trace of them. The only lively parts were thements on her Facebook and her private messages. She roughly looked through them. Some were just concerned and asking questions, some were questioning her, and some were scolding her. And soon, the mostmon topic was questioning why the message was removed so quickly. Was she being kept by some man? Was the mans identity mysterious and noble? Daisy Zane casually nced through the messages, and seeing that they did not involve Arthur North or the rk Family, she closed her Facebook. At this time, Holt Lawrences call came: Nana, your news with Arthur North was sent under the name of an 18th-tier Little Star, and Celestial Pivot did not notice it at first. Daisy Zane leaned against the head of the bed, pinching her brow: Is it to avoid being intercepted online? All major online media had been contacted by Allonzo Hobson, with some smaller media outlets following the actions of the big ones. It was almost an established rule not to break any news about Daisy Zane. And Celestial Pivot had people specifically monitoring online messages, checking for scattered information from fans or small media outlets that would ignore the situation and make money recklessly. But this time the message had nothing to do with Daisy Zane, so Celestial Pivot did not intercept it in time. Holt Lawrence: It shouldnt be. I traced the message on the inte. It was sent by someone named Celeste Martin, who registered an ount with a ck card. Hearing this name, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly. Holt Lawrence continued: She probably didnt expect the inte to intercept news about you. She didnt dare to expose your romance directly, so she made a detour, pretending to have mistaken someone else for you, and posted it online. It was theizens whoter said it was you. Why bother? Daisy Zane said. Feeling guilty, I guess. This way, she may feel a little better. Holt Lawrence said, I found out that she has recorded a show with you. Are you not getting along? Maybe. Daisy Zane looked around theyout of the room while sitting on the bed. A vase was ced on the table in the bay window, with a rose inside. Bathing in the sunlight, it was vibrant and gorgeous. It should have been ced there yesterday, but she hadnt noticed itst night. You havent given me any news about William Butch. Daisy Zane said. Ah, someone has been sent to inquire about the people he used to be in contact with. Holt Lawrence said, I will sort it out and send it to you in the evening. Alright, bye. After hanging up, Daisy Zane turned her head and looked at the rose for a while, then flipped through the messages on her cell phone. Seeing that there was nothing important, she went back to sleep. However, she only slept for an hour when she was woken up by her assistants voice messages. She took a look and just picked up the call when the other side hung up. Then a message came: [Organize all the experimental data from above. Some experimental data has been lost and needs to be redone.] After reading the message, Daisy Zane flipped through the five folders her assistant sent before making the voice calls. Then the assistant sent another message: [I heard that the Dean of the Research Institute had an ident yesterday. Many things have been taken over by the professor leading us. It might be a bit busy these days, so be prepared.] Daisy Zane frowned at the message and started to ask a question, but then she deleted it and replied: [Alright.] Then she called Holt Lawrence. Holt Lawrence: Ah, I was just thinking that there was something I forgot to mention when I called. Yes, Ezekiel Santiago was attacked in M Continent yesterday. One of his legs was broken, but its no big deal. Hell be fine after staying in the hospital for a while. Who did it? It is suspected that it was the M Continentboratory, because they asked the Research Institute for an experimental sample, but the Institute did not agree. Then Ezekiel Santiago was attacked. Holt Lawrence said, But there is no solid evidence yet. The attackers were all mercenaries, and they did not know who paid them. Where is he now? Hes in a hospital in M Continent. Holt Lawrence said, Hes getting old and cannot be moved right after the injury. Keep an eye on him in secret. Daisy Zane said, Dont let any more idents happen. Yes, I understand. After hanging up the phone, Daisy Zane quickly washed and rinsed herself. When she left, she happened to bump into a servant who was cleaning the corridor railings outside. The servant immediately stood up straight when she saw her and smiled, Madam, are you awake? Because of the word Madam, Daisy Zane took an extra nce at her: Where is Kevin rk? After the madam returned to her roomst night, Third Master left. But this morning, Third Master called and told us to prepare breakfast, saying that the madam should sleep until she wakes up naturally before eating. Daisy Zane felt tingling on her scalp from being called Madam so many times, and she paused before saying, I have something to do, so I wont eat. Thank you. After saying that, she quickly left. After Daisy Zane went to theboratory at Imperial Capital University, she was busy all day and didnt have lunch. Instead, she had only eaten two pieces of sugar during the day. Kevin rk was also very busy on his end, as he had to familiarize himself with the experiments he was taking over. It wasnt until after dinner that he finally had some time. Just as he was about to call Daisy Zane, his older brother called him. He was asked toe home. His older brother originally wanted to say a few more words, but he was interrupted by his fathers words: Enough with the chatter, tell him to hurry back. After hanging up the phone, Kevin rk didnt ask the driver to take him home. Instead, he drove back himself. It must be about Henry rks incident, which had reached his fathers ears. He didnt intend to hide it at all, but the news reached his father muchter than he expected. Driving halfway across Imperial Capital, as soon as Kevin rk entered their front hall, he saw a room full of people. Everyone from rk Family was present, except for him. The situation seemed to be just waiting for him, and it seemed to be a public execution. The front hall was shrouded in gloom. His older brother, sister-inw, and Hugo rk were secretly signaling him with their eyes, probably asking him to say a few good words and submit. Hardy rk was also sitting nervously to one side, looking at him. Kevin rk gave his sister-inw a reassuring look and then turned to his parents, smiling, Dad, Mom. Family gathering today? As he said this, he was about to sit down, but before he could even touch the sofa, Elina rk said, You stand. Kevin rk: Natalie Wayne looked at him sympathetically but didnt say anything. Elina rks expression was cold as he looked at him and asked, Where did you send Henry rk? M Continent Prison. Kevin rk repressed theughter in his eyes and said directly. After hearing this, Theo rk and Hugo rk both frowned. Theo rk found out today along with his father. Hugo rk found out after his Third Uncle arrested the person. However, Kevin rk had people specifically under hismand, who only took orders from him. So, Hugo rk didnt know where exactly Kevin rk had sent Henry rk. M Continent Prison, an endless hell It would be better to just kill the person outright. Kevin rk! He is your Second Uncle! Elina rk yelled angrily. He is not. Just because you say he isnt doesnt make it so. Both of you share the blood of the rk Family. Its not something you can disavow just because you want to! Elina rk pped the table and said, Whats the first rule of rk Family? Tell me what it is! Kevin rk took a soft breath and said, The rk Family is united, with a shared voice, shared roots, and shared hearts. Under no circumstance should brothers fight against each other or kill their own blood. What have you done! It was Henry rk who made the first move. Faced with his fathers harsh words, Kevin rks tone remained calm. He attacked you so you attacked him? Just because he doesnt understand the family rules, you dont either? How did I teach you? How can you face your ancestors! Elina rks chest heaved violently, The Lane Family has already decided to take action, so let them handle it. He has had sinister intentions for twenty years and hasnt repented. Whether he lives or dies, Im not going to get involved. But you why, why did you suddenly take action! Chapter 321 - 297: Got Beaten Up Chapter 321: Chapter 297: Got Beaten Up Trantor: 549690339 Elina rk was over eighty this year, a rather progressive little old man, who could keep up with the young peoples mindset. However, he was very strict about the family rules of the rk Family. In fact, there were not even five family rules, all of which were constraints on major ethical behaviors. These were the behavioral ethics standards that children would learn from a young age. Any normal person wouldnt vite them. Take the first one, the prohibition of infighting within the family. Elina rk was very strict about this rule, perhaps due to the influence of the old times. His grandfather and father had adhered to it, so he has always subconsciously believed that any vition would bring retribution, a negative karma. Naturally, he knew that Henry rk had to be overthrown given the current situation, but he did not want to see the person taking action be Kevin rk, or anyone from the rk Family. Release him quickly. Elina rk stated, I dont care what others do, but it definitely cant be you. Kevin rk understood his fathers thinking, and considering that his father was an old man, trying to change his ingrained thoughts was hardly possible: Dad, Ive already done it, I wont let him go now. Elina rk didnt expect him to refuse, he stood up and looked at him: Kevin rk, say it again for me. Seeing this, Calvin Stewart grabbed Theo rks hand. Theo rk had been watching them all along, but when his father got angry, he dared not speak up. He understood that the more he tried to persuade, the angrier his father would get. Natalie Wayne didnt interrupt at this time either, just quietly watching from the side. Dad, over twenty years ago, Henry rk threw Hugo rk into the swimming pool and he almost drowned. Kevin rk said softly, He has lived for these twenty years due to the protection of our ancestors. But this time our ancestors cant protect him. Kevin rks voice had just stopped when suddenly, a p sounded again in the living room. Everyone was stunned as Elina rk sharply pped Kevin rk on the face. Kevin rk was hit so hard that his head turned to the side, and he staggered to the side a little. Elina rk lost his support and due to the inertia, staggered as well. Natalie Wayne immediately stood up, supporting him, and at the same time held him back: Brother Louis. Calvin Stewart felt a heartache and his eyes instantly turned red, he stood up. Theo rk also immediately walked to Elina rks side, supporting his other hand: Dad. Hugo rk also stood up, but dared not to get closer. Hardy rk hid directly behind Hugo rk. Elina rk was being supported from both sides, he looked at the blood on Kevin rks mouth corner, and tightly gripped the hand he had used to p him. Kevin rk straightened his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and sighed: Dad, you calm down first, Ille back in a couple of days. After saying that, he nced at Theo rk and left directly. Seeing him leaving, Elina rk took a couple of deep breaths and sat back down on the sofa. The experiments Daisy Zane had to conduct were not many, it was just that the data she needed to cote was massive. There wasnt too many missing data, so the experiments she had to conduct were not tooplicated. They should be done in one night. She could organize the data at home. While observing the reaction of the experiment, her cell phone rang. Daisy Zane ignored it, not until a few minutester, when the phone rang for the second time, did she find the time to pick it up. It was a call from Hardy rk. She pressed the answer key, and the moment she put the phone to her ear, she heard Hardy rk say: Auntie, is Third Uncle with you? No, what is it? My Grandfather pped my Third Uncle today. Hardy rk said. Daisy Zane suddenly furrowed her eyebrows: What happened? Hardy rk told Daisy Zane what she roughly knew, Auntie, you go and persuade Third Uncle. It seems that Grandfather is still very angry, not talking to anyone. Hmm, I see. After hanging up the call, Daisy Zane finished her experiment at hand and then immediately called Kevin rk. Where are you? she asked straight after he picked up the call. Whats the matter? Im at Easton Group. Kevin rk was passing by Easton Group and decided to pick up something, he just parked his car in the Easton Groups parking lot. Wait for me there. After dropping this sentence, Daisy Zane hung up the call. Kevin rk was momentarily perplexed, after realizing whats going on, he guessed that someone from his family must have broken the news to her. He had wanted to hide it for a couple more days, at least until the swelling on his face subsided. Twenty minutester, Daisy Zane arrived at the grand hall of the Easton Group. Right after she entered, the receptionist came over and asked her. After telling her name, the receptionist directly led her to the elevator. But the elevator was going down towards the parking lot. Upon reaching the parking lot, the elevator door opened, and Daisy Zane saw Kevin rk standing at the elevator entrance. She squinted her eyes when she saw Kevin rks somewhat reddened face and split lips. Kevin rks skin reddened easily. Sometimes, when she tightly held his wrist, there would be reddish marks on it. But it wouldnt swell up easily. Last time when his palm was badly injured, only the area around the wound swelled slightly. Kevin rk took her hand, grabbed the medicine from her hand, and led her towards the car. Who told you? Someones a real whistleblower, they told you in such a short time. Your father is quite ruthless. Daisy Zanes voice was somewhat bleak. He was furious, exined Kevin rk, and it doesnt hurt. Daisy Zane kept silent and got in the car with him. Both of them sat in the back seat. Daisy Zane opened the bottle of alcohol, preparing to disinfect his wound. In a soft voice, she asked, Henry rk kidnapped Olivia Lane, why didnt you use the Lane Family? Kevin rk knew what Daisy Zane was thinking about, so he looked at her without speaking. Because of me? Kevin rk pinched her chin and kissed her lip, The debt of injuring you, Im going to make him pay no matter what. Youre disregarding family rules? My father is getting older, not only does he overly follow routines, hes also indecisive. If he were my age, he wouldnt hesitate so much, Henry rk wouldnt have stayed alive till now, and he wouldnt haveid hands on me today. Right after Kevin rk finished speaking, he was about to lean in and kiss her again. But Daisy Zane put the cotton swab soaked in alcohol at the corner of his mouth. Kevin rk involuntarily frowned, thenughed, Little Girl, you seem to have a bit of a personal grudge there. Daisy Zane nced at him and lightened her movements, You can let Henry rk go. Id catch himter. Kevin rk chuckled, I see, my Little Girl came here to mediate. My family actually bribed my girlfriend. I came here to watch the fun. Daisy Zane dabbed some medicine on the corner of his mouth and said softly, If I may ask, Third Master, how does it feel to be hit for the first time at the age of 29? I guess my life seemsplete now. Kevin rk joked, It makes up for the regret of my childhood. You had quite the regret of not being hit as a child. Not anymore. Kevin rk held her waist and pulled her into his arms. Even though the old rk is over eighty, his punch is still so powerful. It must have hurt a lot when he was young. No wonder my elder brother, event at an age of over fifty, dares not to make a peep when he sees my father get angry. Daisy Zane gently touched his reddened cheek with her thumb, leaned on his shoulder, and after a while, she said, If you dont let Henry rk go, how will you exin it to your father? He has already vented his anger by hitting me. Ill bring Charles Amos over tomorrow to cheer him up. Daisy Zane: So, Charles Amos is brought to pacify the mood. Chapter 322 - 298: Strange Uncle Chapter 322: Chapter 298: Strange Uncle Trantor: 549690339 rk Manor After Kevin and the others returned to their Courtyard, Natalie Wayne brought a bowl of calming soup. When she returned to the bedchamber, Elina rk was standing on the terrace, looking outside. Natalie put the calming soup on the round table, walked over to Elina, held her hand, and softly whispered, Brother Louis. Elina immediately held her hand tightly, turned her head to look at her, with some deep, defeated eyes, her voice trembling a bit, Mimi, I shouldnt have hit Harton. When they were young, Elina always called Natalie Mimi. However, as the children grew up, she only used the nickname in private. Usually, she would be called Madam. I was just talking about that part. Natalie said softly. Elina sighed lightly, holding Natalie in her arms, I never hit Harton since he was young. This is not his fault, I shouldnt haveid a hand on him. With one hand behind his back, Natalie gently stroked him, Harton understands. It was my soft-heartedness that let Henry rk live. Elina tightened her arms a bit, her head buried in Natalies shoulder, I should have handled it earlier and not caused trouble for the children. Father begged you before his death, to let Henry rk live no matter what, for his sake. Natalie Wayne said, We kept our promise. As for the result, this is what Henry rk deserves. I was confused. I should have known he would never change. I shouldnt have left this hidden danger for the children. Im an old man now, I have lived enough. What family rules, and what retribution? Id rather have done this myself than having Harton do it. Louis, dont say that. We thought that the Lane family would handle this matter, but Harton suddenly took action. This is what Henry rk deserves, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Mimi, I had Harton at such an old age. The fatherly love he could enjoy is already scarce. Even if I live to be a hundred, Ill only be a burden to the childrenter on. Elina whispered, I owe him so much, yet I let him bear the consequences of the disaster I left behind. Not only that, but I also hit him. Its alright, Louis, its fine, Natalie gently patted his back and softlyforted him, You were just worried. Harton understands. Hes grown up now, and he doesnt need us to worry about him. After chatting for a while at Ryan Eastons parking lot, Harton sent Daisy Zane home. He then immediately returned to the Research Institute. And Daisy Zane stayed up all night organizing the data. After breakfast the next morning, she went straight to theboratory at Imperial Capital University. She kept busy until past three oclock in the afternoon. When the experiment was finished, and the lost data reorganized, she sent it to the assistant. After everything was settled, Daisy Zane didnt leave. Instead, she studied the 319 she brought with her in theboratory. Past eight oclock in the evening, Harton called her. Daisys cell phone was on the experimental table next to her. She nced at the callers disy, seeing that it was Harton, she pressed her tired eyes, answered the call, and turned on the speaker. Hartons voice came from the cell phone, gently saying, Are you home? Daisy stared at the motionless elixir in front of her, and absentmindedly nodded. After hearing her answer, Harton chuckled softly, Guess where I am? Daisys expression paused, realizing that Harton must be at her vi, she nced at the phone beside her, Ill be home in 30 minutes. Where are you now? Imperial Capital University. Ille to pick you up. Okay. Thirty minutester, Harton picked Daisy up at the entrance to Imperial Capital University. Daisy stood by the entrance, wearing a tracksuit, a ck mask, and her hair in a bun, looking down at her phone. Her clothing and appearance were nothing special, but on her, they were incredibly eye-catching and dazzling. Arthur North got out of the car and walked over to her: How long have you been waiting? Daisy Zane looked up at him: Not long. Arthur saw that her eyes were filled with red bloodshot veins, and even her eye sockets were red. He furrowed his brows slightly: Why are your eyes so red? Didnt you sleepst night? I did. Daisy nced at his car and headed towards it, Have you had breakfast? Arthur followed her, intending to hold her hand but pulled back just as he was about to touch her. He remembered what Allonzo Hobson had told him about the gossip that suddenly disappeared yesterday morning and figured Daisy didnt want it to be public, so someone had taken care of it. So, he just walked beside her: What do you want to eat? Daisy gave him a nce and replied softly: Peony shrimp. Alright, lets go to the Doomsday Hotel. They got into the car and fastened their seat belts. Arthur took another look at her eyes: Little girl, Im quite curious about what you often do at Imperial Capital University? Daisy turned her head and looked at him, pausing for a moment before she said: The boys at university are all good-looking, and theyre quite young. Just as she finished speaking, Arthur mmed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Both their bodies leaned forward then settled back in their seats as they stared at each other. Three secondster, Arthur clenched his jaw and said: Little girl, are you trying to provoke me on purpose? Did you get provoked? Daisy looked at him and asked. Arthur reached out and pinched her face, gritting his teeth: What do you think? Daisys eyes were dry and swollen, so she closed them andughed: But theyre not as handsome as you. Arthur squinted his eyes, touching her face with his hand, and used his thumb under her eyes to gently stroke it: Then just look at me and not others. Otherwise, Ill bully you until you cry. Daisy raised her eyebrows. Arthur looked at her eyes and didnt care about her teasing him anymore: Is it very ufortable? Its fine. Close your eyes and take a break. Ill call you when we get there. Mhm. By the time they finished eating at Doomsday Hotel and returned to Daisys vi, it was almost eleven oclock. It would be expected that Charles Amos would have gone to bed by this time, but as they approached the vi, they saw him sitting in front of the entrance, resting his chin on his hand, sitting on a small stool with a troubled expression on his face. Hearing footsteps, Charles lifted his head and saw the two of them. His eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over to Daisy. Why arent you sleeping? Daisy asked him. It seemed as if Charles suddenly remembered something, sighing and slumping his shoulders. He looked at Arthur and said: That weird uncle is here. Daisy was stunned for a moment. Arthur tilted his head to look at her. Charles nced at Arthur again,ining with disgust: Hes in my room eating stinky tofu and forcing me to eat it too. It took Daisy a moment to respond: When did he arrive? Almost an hour ago. Daisy looked up at the entrance and then grabbed Charles by the cor, intending to take him with her and leave: Ill take you out to stay somewhere for a few days. Arthur raised his eyebrows, surprised to see someone that seemed to make the little girl want to avoid them so badly. Charles grabbed onto Daisys sleeve: But Grandpa Edwards is still inside with him. You should go check on him. Grandpa Edwards must be getting vored by the stinky tofu by now. Daisy: Chapter 323: 299: Threat Chapter 323: 299: Threat
Trantor:549690339 Although Daisy Zane didnt want to see that person, he had alreadye to the Imperial Capital, and there was no hiding from him. So, she brought Charles Amos into the vi.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, she smelled the stinky tofu odor. This smell could pierce the sky in an instant. She frowned slightly. Charles Amos immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hand, then moved closer to Kevin rk: How about you take me away first? You want to abandon the little girl and run away? Kevin rk asked. Charles Amoss big eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately stopped talking. Meanwhile, in the living room, hearing people talking at the entrance, the man inside shouted at once: Whos talking? Whos outside? Daisy Zane closed her eyes upon hearing this voice and entered the living room. Upon entering, she saw the strange uncle that Charles Amos had mentioned. The strange uncle sat on the sofa, his body erect in a well-tailored white three-piece suit. His hairstyle featured a long wolf-like tail, with shorter hair in the front and longer hair at the back reaching down to his ribs. His eye sockets were somewhat deep, his pupils light, and his facial features three-dimensional. His appearance was a blend of East and West. With a cold and sharp look in his eyes, he resembled an iceberg, especially with his light-colored pupils. Of course, that was if you ignored his stinky tofu in hand and him talking.
This strange uncle was none other than the man Daisy Zane had mentioned, who was second only to Kevin rk in her heart, Gael Easton. He was also one of the heirs of the Monarch Dynasty of M Continent. Such a noble identity, yet he was eating stinky tofu in someone elses house and causing their child to flee the house due to the smell at night. When the two groups saw each other, a temporary silence ensued. This silence seemed to dilute the stinky tofu smell in the living room. Gael Eastons gaze passed over Daisy Zane and fell on Kevin rk. His undisguised scrutiny gradually turned hostile. Meanwhile, Kevin rk stared back at him, his hostility even more evident. For the first time, Kevin rk saw the word threat in a mans eyes. At least in the eyes of the little girl, this man was a significant threat. The silence and gunpowder aroma continued. Of course, Daisy Zane felt the subtle atmosphere, so she continued walking towards the door after stopping for a while, looking at Gael Easton: Ill give you a choice, either take your stinky tofu out, or you get out. Hearing her speak, Gael Easton snapped back to reality, pping the chopsticks in his hand on the tea table.
Charles Amos immediately covered his ears again upon seeing this. As expected, Gael Easton shouted next, How can you talk to me like that! The sound was like a sudden thunderp. His voice was so loud that even Wilton Edwards closed his eyes and moved aside. Daisy Zane looked at him expressionlessly. And whats more! You bring a man homete at night, what are you doing! Gael Easton stood up, looking at Kevin rk. Kevin rk looked back at him, his eyes cold as a sword, his voice icy: Sir, as her boyfriend, I have every right to be here. But what about you, an unknown guest showing upte at night? What are you here to do? What?! What?! What did you say?! Boyfriend?! Gael Easton walked directly in front of Daisy Zane, Tell me who he is! Daisy Zane felt a buzzing in her ears. Kevin rk pulled her behind him, his eyes locked with Gael Eastons. His aura was incredibly powerful, and Gael Easton subconsciously confronted him, realizing he was a few centimeters shorter. With the two men standing so close, Gael Easton felt his aura being suppressed somewhat.
Im talking to her, you get out of the way! Im her boyfriend, speaking to her is the same as speaking to me. Compared to Gael Eastons voice, Kevin rks normal voice was like the sweetest sound in the world. But it was so harsh on Gaels ears. Gael took a deep breath, almost suffocating when Kevin mentioned boyfriend repeatedly. While the two were confronting each other, Daisy Zane caught the eye of a servant and had them throw out the stinky tofu from the tea table. You, you stinky girl, youe over here and exin yourself! Daisy pretended not to hear. Seeing her not respond, Gael paced a circle in the living room, suppressing his anger, lowering his voice, and said, Fine, let me see what kind of gem youve found. You really know how to act, no wonder you didnt go back, your mind has been bewitched by a fox spirit. Having said that, he looked at Kevin and asked, Whats your name? Kevin just quietly watched him pace and calmly returned his name, Kevin rk. Gael furrowed his brows, Imperial Capital rk Family? Kevin looked at him, his expression bing slightly interesting, but didnt say anything. Gael nodded, licked his lips, and finally sneered, Stinky girl, whats wrong? Is Mrs. rk more honorable than you being the Monarch Dynasty of M Continent Royal Duchess? Kevins eyes narrowed a little, and after a pause he said, Gael Easton? Yeah, whats up! Are you scared? Kevin rk chuckled softly, his voice not loud but powerful, Only when you have real power, can you have the qualifications to discuss your dignity with me. Gael was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to tantly poke at his sore spot, What the actual fuck? Kevin didnt bother with him anymore, leading Daisy upstairs. Gael watched their hands intertwined and it stung his eyes. He followed them, muttering, Stinky girl. Is there something wrong with your eyes? Youve got me, a man with good looks, a figure, money, and power, but you choose a yboy. Daisy pressed her throbbing eye and said calmly, Yeah, I want to see whos trashier between us. Kevin rk heard this and raised the corner of his mouth. Gael frowned, No, look at me, look at me. Look at my face, a handsome man you only meet once in a thousand years, dont you have a crush? How many young men and women have followed me unconditionally? Daisy clenched her fists. Wilton Edwards coughed gently downstairs. Charles Amoss small face twitched as well. Look at my figure, wide shoulders, thin waist, long legs, eight-pack abs, amazing to touch. Gael continued, Where did your eyes go? You didnt choose me, such a perfect man, and picked an old hand in rtionships. Kevin looked at Daisy, and although he didnt say anything, his eyes seemed to be asking: Can I hit him? Daisy squeezed his hand back, trying to appease him with great patience. Kevin sighed in his heart, quickened his pace, and led Daisy back to the room. Upon entering the room, just as the door was about to close, Gael pped the door unbelievably, What are you doing? Why are you going into the same room? I wont allow it! What right do you have to disallow it? Kevins voice was icy. If it werent for saving face for this little girl, he would have taken care of Gael right there in the living room. On the grounds that I ascertained her to be my future Monarch Dynasty of M Continent Royal Duchess. Kevinughed lightly, Gael Easton, keep her out of your messy M Continent affairs. Dont think I dont know what youre thinking. Gael crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, his deep eyes full of chill, Thats none of your business, is it? Im her legitimate boyfriend and will be herwful husband in the future. Everything rted to her concerns me too, Kevin said, If you dare to involve her, I promise to make M Continent a mess. Chapter 324: 300: I’ve Always Been Here Chapter 324: 300: Ive Always Been Here
Trantor:549690339 Kevin rk and Gael Easton stood face to face, the surrounding air filled with palpable tension and danger. Between them was like a tensed thread, stretched thinner and tighter, on the verge of snapping at any moment. But Daisy Zane wouldnt allow the thread to snap.
Once it snapped, both Imperial Capital and M Continent wouldnt be able to catch a breath. Though she was curious about who might have the upper hand if both powers were to sh, there was no need to know such things, as curious as she was. And so Daisy Zane spoke, causing the tension to cken a bit. Are you two going to keep this up until it creates some sentimental value? Kevin rk: Upon hearing this, Gael Easton immediately averted his gaze and huffed coldly. Daisy Zane stood next to Kevin rk, and said to Gael Easton, If you wish to stay in the Imperial Capital, then behave and stay here for a few days. If not, I can arrange for someone to buy a ticket for you to leave tomorrow. Youre kicking me out! Gael Easton couldnt believe it. Do you think your status is suitable for a long-term stay here? Gael Easton choked a bit and then paused, Fine, Ill leave. But youreing with me. Kevin rk frowned.
Daisy Zane stared at him. Gael Easton let out a loud huff, What the hell do you think youre doing here? Being a celebrity? Letting the whole world know about you? Have you had enough of your peaceful days? I have my ns. What ns? nning to return to Edward Kirsten? Gael Easton red, chest heaving violently, For gods sake the girl from Cold Green Vige is already dead. Why are you clinging to a dead persons dream? Like you dont even want your own life! The nonchnt look on Daisy Zanes face froze instantly, herplexion going pale. The bottom of her blood-red eyes, like ice that had frozen for many years. Cold, deste, and heartbroken. As if the fa?ade had been ripped apart, revealing the rotten flesh of her heart, bleeding Seeing this, Kevin rk immediately grabbed Daisy Zanes hand, caressing the back of her hand tofort her. He hadnt failed to think that since the little girl had assumed Daisy Zanes name, either the real Daisy was gone, or she had been hidden away by the little girl. He had been deliberately avoiding the first possibility. He had witnessed her inability to cut ties with Cold Green Vige.
Seeing her reaction, Gael Easton realized he had spoken too harshly. He looked at Daisy Zanes demeanor but said nothing. Who told you? Daisy Zanes voice was hoarse after trying to suppress her emotions. Gael Easton didnt answer. No one told him, he found out and guessed on his own. Not only did he know the girl from Cold Green Vige had a dream to be a best actress, he also knew that she was fond of the best actress, Phoebe Turner. Because the girl now standing in front of him used toe to Cold Green Vige bearing many gifts and bearing news from the outside world rted to films, even bringing with her Phoebe Turners autograph. Thats why the screenwriter Flynn Ninevara appearedter, precisely to pave the way for the girl from Cold Green Vige. Gael Easton said nothing; Daisy Zane didnt wait for him to speak and hoarsely continued, Gael, if you are keen on picking a fight today, lets go to the backyard. Gael Easton let out a soft cough and slightly touched his nose. Kevin rk clearly felt the girls fury brewing, but she managed to suppress it. As if there was a reason not to provoke Gael Easton.
And it definitely wasnt because of Gael Eastons royal status. Seeing that he didnt say anything, Daisy Zane turned and entered the room. Hey? You brat Gael Easton tried to follow, but was blocked at the door by Kevin rk. Gael Easton looked at him, a frown creasing his brow. Shut up and calm down. Kevin rk said and closed the door behind him, turning the lock for good measure. Gael Easton stared at the door, almost furious. They had actually locked him out. He wanted to kick the door down, but when he thought about the spoiled expression of that little girl from earlier, he held back. Nevertheless, he didnt leave, and continued to stand at the entrance. Anyway, his jetg hadnt adjusted yet, and he was very alert now. He wanted to see just how long Harton could stay inside with the little girl in such a bad mood. He was certain it wouldnt exceed a minute. Perhaps he would be kicked out immediately. He stood there, waiting tough at the spectacle. How dare they lock him out! Harton broods a haunting and evil appearance, what vision does that spoiled girl have. Were his own wild and clean looks not good enough? This was infuriating to him! When Kevin rk entered the room, Daisy Zane was standing on the balcony. He walked over, hugged her from behind, and gave a gentle kiss on her cheek. He didnt say anything, just quietly stood with her. At this point, anyforting words were superfluous. It was enough for her to know he was there. Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered slightly. After a moment, she turned around and rested her head on his shoulder. Kevin rk slightly tightened his arms, lifting a hand to gently fold around the back of her neck. The room lights were switched off, only the moonlight outside came into the room. The two of them hugged. The window curtains fluttered with the night breeze, everything around them was quietly fading. After a while, Daisy Zane said softly, Kevin rk Im a bit tired. Her voice was very low, as if she were whispering. It was like a leaf floating on the water, looking for shore to rest. Kevin rk held her tighter, whispered in her ear, If youre tired, rest a little. Im here, always. Daisy Zane did not speak, she leaned on him for a while then straightened her body. She took a step back, touching her eyes, Im going to take a bath. Alright. As Daisy Zane was about to leave, she looked back at him, Can I borrow half of your bed? Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, Gael Easton is still outside. Daisy Zane understood his meaning. He was protecting her. Even if the person outside was his romantic rival, he did not want to use her reputation to dere any dominance. A boyfriend is a boyfriend, they hadnt yet progressed to the level of a husband who shares a bed. What a considerate gentleman and yet stubborn. So what? Daisy Zane responded. Kevin rk looked at her, and after a while, pinched her chin and smiled, Little girl, you trust me so easily. What if Im a bad guy? What if I am rubbish? Are you? Daisy Zane responded. Not. Kevin rk said, I can prove it with the rest of my life. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow and stepped toward him. Her eyes disyed strong confrontation. She looked up into Kevin rks, and lightly said, If you dare to hurt me Ill ruin you. Kevin rks eyes gradually filled with a smile. He raised his hand to her back head, bent down to kiss her for a moment. Making all her valiant spirit melted away. After releasing her, he pecked on her lips corner again, Kevin rk said, Ill go to my room to get my pajamas. I have some here. What? Kevin rk looked at her suggestively. Daisy Zane looked back at him and headed to the restroom, After some people faked drunk and slept here for a night, my room suddenly received many more belongings. Kevin rk: Chapter 325: 301: Handwriting Chapter 325: 301: Handwriting
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zane went to take a shower, and Kevin rk went to the balcony to make several phone calls. He originally wanted to go back to his own room to take a shower, but he was afraid that Gael Easton would barge in, so he didnt leave.
After Daisy finished her shower, Kevin dried her hair and let her sleep first. Then he went to the washroom to take a shower himself. By the time he came out, Daisy was already asleep. As usual, she was wrapped in the quilt. Kevin walked to the side of the bed, gently pulling down the quilt. Then he stretched his hand under her neck, gently turning her face straight. He took a towel soaked in hot water, covered her eyes, helping to relieve her fatigue. When the towel cooled down a bit, he went to the restroom to re-soak it in hot water before returning to put it back on her eyes. As soon as he ced the towel on her eyes for the second time, Daisys mouth moved. Kevin rk, I just need to sleep. You should sleep too. She knew Kevin had lifted her quilt, but she was too sleepy and didnt want to talk. Kevin leaned down and kissed her lips: Sleep, I will apply the towel for a while, then I will sleep. Mhm. And so, Kevin changed towels five times, and his hair had dried naturally before he quietlyy down on the bed.
After hey down, he saw that Daisy was sound asleep. After a while, he reached under her neck and gently held her in his arms. His hand held hers, then he kissed the back of her neck before feeling content and falling asleep. Meanwhile, outside the door, there was still someone waiting for Kevin to be kicked out. Gael Easton waited outside for more than an hour, but there was no sign of Kevining out. He paced around outside, rubbing off two strands of hair in frustration. The more he thought about it, the more agitated and angry he became. Unfortunately, he had just annoyed Daisy and didnt dare to barge in or knock on the door. That damn girl, she was really with another man! And things had gotten to this point! What did heckpared to that rk guy? As he thought about it, Gael paced around the corridor a few more times. Then he took out his cell phone and looked at himself.
Gael carefully examined himself, thinking that he was unprecedentedly handsome. As a visually driven creature, Daisy shouldnt have her eyes on someone else. He couldnt understand why, he just couldnt understand. As he paced round and round, Wilton Edwards saw Charles Amos fall asleep and came down from the upper floor. Today, Charles had gone to bed early, but after Gaels arrival, he brought stinky tofu directly to Charless room. He forcefully woke up Charles, then stunk him out of the bed. So, to escape the smell and Gael, Charles had fled to the guest room upstairs. Mr. Easton. Gael was startled by him and stood upright when he saw it was Wilton. He straightened his back and said, Wilton, Charles went to bed, huh? Yes, he just went to bed. Wilton smiled, Mr. Easton, Ive cleaned up your room. You should also rest early. Gael looked at Daisys room again, then at the room next to her, and pointed to the nearest one, Ill stay here. Well Mr. Easton. Thats Third Masters room.
He has more rooms. Gael hung his chest, He still has rooms here. Is he freeloading off Daisy? Doesnt his family have a house? Why does he have to live here? Wiltonughed awkwardly, not saying anything. Gael looked at Daisys room again, wanting to kick the door. But he was in the wrong today, so he let Wilton lead the way back to the guesthouse. The night was deep and dark, with only a hint of moonlight, obscured by the darkness, making the night even more intense. On the easternmost edge of the Imperial Capital stood an ancient manor house, brightly lit with countlessnterns, defiantly bantering with the darkness of the night. The manors size was hard to gauge, with excellent feng shui andyout. Standing tall in the darkness, thebination of ancient and modern architecture added a touch of mystery to the manor. If one looked down upon the entire estate, they would find that theyout of the houses could form a totem. Especially at night, the lights illuminated the houses, and from the sky above, it was easy to see the shape of the totem. It was the Lane Family totem. Symbolizing nobility and honor. Olivia Lane had a drink with Roy Madison in the evening, went to bed early and slept well. But shortly before one in the morning, she suddenly woke up, startling her ragdoll cat in her arms. Shey on her side in bed, suddenly opening her eyes, tears still pooling in them. After a while, the tears in her eyes fell and wetted her pillow. After another moment, she sat up, holding the cat and stroking its fur, recalling the vague dream she had just had. She could only remember it had something to do with her sister, but she couldnt recall the specifics. It was just heartbreaking, painful enough to make her feel as if she were trapped in a nightmare. The cat was happy to be petted, purring contentedly after a while. Olivia caressed it for a while longer, then turned on the bedsidemp, got out of bed, and went to the study in her room. She brought out the scroll written by Daisy Zane, which she had tucked away in a book. Since bringing it homest Friday, she had kept it hidden in the book. She was afraid her brother might discover her secret, so she nned to wait until he left for the F Continent before going to her sisters room topare the handwriting. But now, she suddenly wanted to do so very much. To want and desire. Picking up the scroll, Olivia checked the time. It was almost one oclock in the morning, and her brother should be asleep by now, so he shouldnt discover her. Holding the cat in one hand and the scroll in the other, she took a deep breath and left her room. Charlotte Lanes room was next to Olivias. Although both rooms wererge, in addition to the bedchambers themselves, there was a cloakroom, a makeup room, and a study C allrger than the average bedroom. Their personal spaces were quite substantial. So to go from Olivias room to Charlottes room, a few extra steps were required. For the first time, Olivia had the feeling of being a thief in her own home. Finally reaching her sisters door, she looked left and right, saw no one, and quickly went in. Upon entering the room, she turned on the light. The roomsyout was much the same as hers, with everything left as it used to be. Clothes were reced with new seasonal wear, and the room was regrly cleaned. It didnt look like a room left untouched for ten years but instead seemed as if someone had just stayed therest night and was out for the evening without returning. Olivia quickly scanned the room and headed straight for the study. Arriving at the desk, she stood for a moment, then opened the drawer and took out all the copies of her sisters handwriting. She ced the writing samples on the left and the scroll on the right. Olivia carefully examined the handwriting, even turning on the deskmp for better light. After looking through the writing samples, she found several more scrolls written by Charlotte Lane, and carefullypared them with Daisy Zanes scroll again. After theparison, her hand resting on the desk clenched into a fist. She gazed at the two scrolls for a long time. Then, whether due to weak legs or an unsteady center of gravity, she suddenly fell onto the chair behind her Chapter 326: 302: Will Find It Chapter 326: 302: Will Find It
Trantor:549690339 The handwriting doesnt match. The handwriting doesnt match
After knowing this result, Olivia Lane sat in the chair, feeling as if she could not feel her heart for a moment. It seemed suddenly nk, confused, and helpless. The handwriting doesnt match. After a while, Olivia Lanes dull gaze moved to the photo frame on the desk. There is a photo in the frame, taken when Charlotte Lane was twelve years old on her birthday. Later, when Charlotte went missing, her mother put the photo on the desk. The person in the photo had ck hair over her shoulders. She had monolid eyes, which gave the impression of Phoenix eyes. Her face had some baby fat, and when she smiled, her eyes were slightly bent. She was very beautiful and cute. The glint in her eyes was as brilliant as crystal. Just from a photo, one could feel her contentment from being surrounded by love and adoration. As Olivia Lane looked at the picture, she reached out and gently touched the frame.
How could the handwriting match? She must have gone mad, thinking that Daisy Zanes handwriting and her sisters would match. They were clearly two different people,pletely unrted. There was no simrity to their appearance whatsoever. Daisy Zanes eyes were clearly double-lidded, although the double lids were thin. Besides that, their noses, mouths, and facial shapes had no resemnce at all. Moreover, Daisy Zane was from the Truro Song Family, and she had tested DNA with her biological father. Although she couldnt understand why she came from Cold Green Vige with so much knowledge and even saved her from being attacked by hundreds of people. But she was indeed a person with a blood rtionship to the Song family. Why was she always fixated on unrealistic ideas? Thinking like this, Olivia Lane hooked the corner of her lips. But while her face smiled, tears fell from her eyes. She closed her eyes, paused, and lifted her hand to wipe away the tears.
But just as her hand touched her face, she heard the door to the bedroom being pushed open outside. She suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively hid Daisy Zanes scroll. By the time she reacted and tried to hide herself, it was toote. William Lane opened the door to the study room. As their eyes met, Olivia Lane stood up as if she had been hit by a spring. She moved too hastily and hit her leg on the table, making a muffled sound. Her small face twitched, and she bent over in pain. Seeing this, William Lane immediately walked over to her, pulled the chair back, and squatted down to check her leg. Where did you bump it? I didnt. Olivia Lane said, as her left leg was already aching and couldnt stand. Seeing this, William Lane pulled the chair back again and asked her sit down, Where did you bump it? Olivia Lane sat down, looking somewhat dazed. Her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to exin to her brother why she was herete at night.
So she absentmindedly replied, My knee. William Lane rolled up the pajama legging on her left leg above her knee. Seeing the bruise on her knee, he furrowed his brow, Ill get the medicine, you wait here and dont move. Olivia Lane replied, and obediently waited without moving. While waiting for William to return, she had alreadye up with an excuse. She would say that she couldnt sleep and wanted to find a book to read. She also wanted to check her clothes to see if they favored her sister and bought her nicer clothes to wear. But William just nced at her, then squatted in front of her to apply the medicine, as if he didnt want to ask her anything. After applying the medicine, William rubbed his palms together to warm them up, then ced them on her knee and began massaging it. In the spacious room, the two remained silent in one corner. William even lowered his head, not even looking at Olivias eyes. After a while, Olivia noticed something was wrong with her brother and hesitated, Brother Before she could finish her sentence, William looked up at her. He smiled gently, Olivia, theres something I want to tell you. Looking at his expression, Olivias hands unconsciously clenched on her thighs. She swallowed and asked, Wh-what is it? This time, brother has decided not to return to F Continent. William looked into her eyes and softly said those words. He originally nned to tell her before bedtime, so they even had a little drink together. However, he didnt say it since she seemed so happy. Olivia looked at him, her pupils gradually dting, her eyebrows furrowing bit by bit, and finallyughed, Wh-what do you mean not going back to F Continent? William looked at her expression, taking a light breath to make his voice sound more normal, From now on, your brother will stay in Imperial Capital with you, okay? Stay with me? Why stay with me? Olivias lips trembled, I-Im grown up now; I dont need you to stay with me. Olivia Brother, I really grew up. I wont cause trouble anymore, and I will study well at school. Olivia grasped his sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes, Next June, I will go to university, and I wont take a break from school. Olivia, I have already discussed this with grandfather and our parents. William looked at the tears in her eyes and said softly, This is the decision we made after discussing it. Olivias tears fell on his hand. After the first tear, the others followed like a string of pearls, falling down one by one. Olivia Sister is still in F Continent, how could you all decide to withdraw? Olivia cried, What if she wants toe back but cant find anyone from our family in F Continent? What if she appears in F Continent tomorrow? What if you arent there, and no one can recognize her? Oliviapletely forgot the bunch of excuses she had thought up just moments ago, and she also forgot how she deliberately said they were biased, urging them to return from F Continent. William wiped her tears, and his own eyes gradually reddened, Olivia His words stopped at his lips, and instead, he said, The people in F Continent havent retreated; its just brother who hase back. Olivia was not foolish; when he withdrew, it didnt matter if there were people in F Continent or not. It was the same thing. How could we leave sister alone there? How could we leave her alone there? Why did we stop searching? How could we stop searching? Olivia cried so hard her throat wouldnt make a sound, so she spoke even harder. William was so heartbroken that he lost his voice too. He stood up and held Olivia in his embrace, gently patting her back. Olivia buried her face in his chest, crying as if she were suffocating, Sister, why wont shee back? How can she note back? William patted her back, not making a sound. After a while, Olivias hand lightly tapped his waist twice, Why did we stop searching? Why did we stop searching? Grandfather loves sister so much, how could he agree? Well definitely find her; we will find her! Williams hand, holding Olivia, trembled slightly. He blinked, forcing back his tears. He mechanically repeated the words in his head. We will find her. We will find her. Chapter 327: 303 Chapter 327: 303
Trantor:549690339 The next day, exactly at six oclock, Daisy Zanes cell phone rm rang. Just after the second ring, Daisys hand reached out to the bedside table.
However, just as she barely touched her phone, she was pulled back and her outstretched arm was grabbed and ced back under the quilt. Daisy slowly opened her eyes and nced at her ringing cell phone. Then she heard Kevin rks low and husky voice from behind her: Its still early, lets sleep a little more. Today is Monday. As she said this, she closed her eyes again and murmured, I have a show to record. Kevin hugged her tighter: Take another day off. I signed a contract. Ill pay the liquidated damages, Kevin buried his face in her neck. Daisy felt his warm breath on her neck, causing a tickling sensation that spread throughout her body like an electric current. She opened her eyes and stared for a moment before pulling away Kevins arm and sitting up. With his hand suddenly pulled away, Kevin immediately opened his eyes. Seeing that he had nothing to hold onto, he sat up as well. Miss, turn around and let me look at your eyes.
Daisy turned off the rm on her phone, checked some messages, and then looked at Kevin when she saw there was nothing important. Kevin looked at her eyes, which werent red anymore: Do they still feel ufortable? No, Daisy looked at the wound on the corner of his mouth, which was almost healed, Its recovering pretty fast. Im a grown man; I cant be bothered by a p for several days, Kevinughed. Hearing his words, Daisy raised her eyebrows. Based on his sensitive skin that even a grip would leave a mark, she always felt that Kevin needed to be taken care of very carefully and treated like royalty. Whats with that look? Kevin pinched her face. Daisy raised her eyebrows again but said nothing. She got out of bed and walked straight to the restroom. Kevin sat on the bed, watching her get out of bed without looking back or saying a word. It was just like the attitude of a terrible woman who changes her mind once she gets out of bed. With that thought, he chuckled and went to his own room to wash up.
At six twenty, they both set out. When they left, Gael Easton was still asleep and had no idea that the two people who made him worryst night had already left early. Many parents still drop their kids off at school on Monday mornings. So the entrance was still a bit congested. Therefore, Daisy didnt have Kevin drive to the entrance but parked in a quieter parking space behind the school. Just after leaving the vi, Kevin had the Doomsday Hotel deliver breakfast to the school. There was still some time before morning self-study. So now, Daisy was having breakfast in the car. While eating, she listened to the directors voice on her phone. The director had made a voice call in the group chat, instructing them on the process. They needed to be in the ssroom before seven oclock. The cameramen were already waiting at the entrance. They would cut the footage of Monday morning self-study.
After that, the director repeated many details they needed to pay attention to, which they had already discussed during dinnerst Friday. Daisy turned off the microphone and only yed the speaker, listening attentively. Kevin said, The new drama is airing tonight. Mmm, Daisy replied. I heard it had to be reviewed three times before it was approved. The requirements are stricter now. I dont know if this development trend means that peoples thinking is evolving or regressing, Daisy said. Theres always a roundabout process of progress for everything. Daisy nced at him, put thest fried bun in her mouth, and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. Then she unbuckled her seatbelt, grabbed her school uniform jacket, and said, Dont get out, there are too many people. Having just unbuckled his seatbelt, Kevin: Watching him pause, Daisy lifted the corner of her mouth. She grabbed the cor of his shirt, pulled him toward her, and kissed his lips. But just as Kevin wanted to deepen the kiss, Daisy gently pushed him away. Kevin stared at her. There are a lot of people, and theyre all students. Kevin rk: The students are also seventeen or eighteen. There are also younger grades. Kevin rk: Daisy Zaneughed again and pressed on his corbone through his shirt before opening the door, getting out of the car, and leaving. Kevin rk couldnt get out of the car, so he could only watch her back gradually disappearing. He watched her turn the corner and disappear from sight before starting the car and nning to go back. As soon as he started the car, the horn of the car that had just passed behind him honked twice. Kevin rk raised his eyes and nced at the rearview mirror outside the car window, seeing the license te number. He then turned off the car again. Soon, the car behind parked in the parking space in front of his. Then there was no more movement. Kevin rk didnt urge them, waiting quietly for a while. In the car, William Lane instructed Olivia Lane like a mother sending her child on a long journey, covering everything from clothing, food, shelter, to body and academics. Olivia Lane sat in the copilot seat, her eyes slightly swollen as she lowered her gaze and listened quietly. After a while, William Lane finished instructing her, rubbed her head, and said, Alright, go to ss. Call me if you have any problems. Mm, Olivia Lane unbuckled her seat belt, Brother, Im leaving. Go ahead, William Lane said, It seems like Kevins girlfriend just left. Maybe you can catch up with her. Who wants to chase her? William Laneughed. After opening the car door, Olivia Lane didnt move. After a moment, she turned to William Lane and said, Brother, Im sorry. Dont take what I saidst night to heart. Actually, Im quite happy that youre back. As she spoke, she looked up at him, Really, very happy. Mm, I can see that, William Lane smiled. Seeing his smile, Olivia Lane also smiled, Now that youre back, shouldnt you also consider finding a sister-inw for me? Even Kevins Third Uncle has a girlfriend. You must be an undercover agent that our parents have sent to spy on me. Youre so old and still make them worry. Fine, William Lane smiled, Ill have to look around first. Mm, then Im leaving. Go ahead. After Olivia Lane left, William Lane got out of the car and went to the back to get in Kevin rks copilot seat. Just as he sat down, he started with a clichd remark: Here to drop off your girlfriend? Kevin rk immediately replied with another clich: Here to drop off your sister? William Lane: Ignoring his expression, Kevin rk replied while checking his cellphone messages, Whats going on? Wanna grab a drink? Kevin rk paused mid-texting, ncing at him, Its early in the morning whats gotten into you? Going or not? No time. Kevin rk looked at his phone again, I have to go to the Research Institute. William Lane was silent for a moment before saying, Ill go with you. I havent done any experiments in a while; my hands have gotten a little rusty. William Lane had studied pharmaceutical formtion major in F Continent for eight years, from college to doctoral studies. There wasnt any special reason, he just happened to be studying there while looking for his sister, Charlotte Lane. He dropped out after two years of college in his domestic country. Pharmaceutical formtion is the best major in the F Continent. Starting from decades ago, this major has produced batch after batch of talents. So, he chose this major. Kevin rk paused for a moment before directly locking his phones screen. He looked at William Lane again, and two secondster, he finally asked, What do you mean? What you understand, William Lane looked at him for a moment before lowering his gaze. Now it was Kevin rks turn to be silent. Early in the morning, two handsome and attractive men sat silently in a car near a high school. After a while, Kevin rks eyshes fluttered lightly and said, Uncle Lane agreed. Mm, William Lane responded softly. Chapter 328: 304: The Elder Chapter 328: 304: The Elder
Trantor:549690339 Hearing this news, Kevin rk was at a loss for his feelings for a moment. Back then, the little girl kept calling him Brother Arthur and always wanted him to hold her. He hadnt even held his own niece before.
But he would hold her while eating at the table. He really thought of her as his own sister. Everyone used to search for her, but now, all of a sudden Is Uncle Lane alright? Hes fine. William Lane replied, His blood pressure just suddenly went up a bit. A doctor is with him. Kevin rk stayed silent for a while and didnt say anything else. After all, he was just an outsider, and the people who were suffering the most were the Lane family. Well, let me wee you on behalf of the Research Institute first. William Lane chuckled. Dean Yue is hospitalized and very busy recently, Kevin rk said, Take a couple of days to get used to everything, and then you can help me share the work. Alright. Im just free anyway.
When Daisy Zane arrived at Senior Three ss Sixteen, there were 5 minutes left before the morning self-study. She greeted Skyler Thomas and took a seat. The other people involved in recording the show were there as well, and Turner Daniels had returned too. As soon as Daisy Zane sat down, Turner Daniels ced his milk tea on her desk, Daisy, its hot. Daisy Zane nced at the milk tea and said, Thank you. Turner Daniels smiled, shook his head, and returned to his seat. The moment the morning self-study bell rang, Olivia Lane walked in, right on time. Skyler Thomas had an emotionless expression while watching her. Olivia Lane red back at her, then walked at her leisurely pace to her seat. As she walked over, Daisy Zane looked at her and immediately noticed her swollen eyes. And she also saw her wilting, obviously in a bad mood. After Olivia Lane sat down, Daisy Zane asked, Little girl, have you been crying?
Youre the one whos been crying! Olivia Lane red at her and said, This is from drinking too much waterst night. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow but didnt say anything else. Olivia Lane was silent for a moment, then looked at Daisys hand and asked, Hows your hand? Daisy Zane extended her left hand toward her, Its almost healed. The medicine from the Research Institute was very effective. Her hand had long since stopped swelling. Even the bruises had almost disappeared. Seeing that Daisy was almost healed, Olivia Lane nodded and didnt say anything else, staring nkly at the table. After morning self-study, Daisy Zane went to eat with George Dunn and the others. Kevin rk and William Lane had said not to bring food for his girlfriend anymore, so the Lane family didnt prepare any extra for her. At the cafeteria, they got their food and Daisy Zane sat across from Celeste Martin. George Dunn sat beside Daisy, while Turner Daniels sat across from him.
The four of them chatted casually while eating. The students from their ss didnt join them today, and the surrounding people were just photographers and staff, so their conversation was quite casual. Daisy Zane sometimes chimed in while eating. After finishing breakfast, Daisy Zane had to take her medicine, which had be a habit. Not only did she get used to it, but George Dunn and the others also got used to it. George Dunn finished eating first and was about to get hot water for Daisy Zanes tea, but Turner Daniels intercepted him and said, Give it to me, and Ill get hot water too. George Dunn nced at him and didnt think much of it. He handed the ss to Turner Daniels and sat back down. Celeste Martin watched Turner Daniel walk away and suddenly smiled, Brook God, Turner is really attentive to you. He brought you milk tea this morning and also fetched water for you. As she said this, Daisy Zane was peeling a fried egg. It might not have been cooked properly, so it was particrly hard to peel. She kept peeling off chunks of egg white. Daisy Zane peeled slowly, her patience gradually wearing thin. Hearing Celestes words, she didnt respond directly. George Dunn frowned slightly. But Celeste didnt intend to stop there: The milk tea from that store is so popr, its incredibly hard to get. Youd usually have to wait in line for at least an hour. And they dont even open in the morning. I dont know how Turner managed it. Having peeled half of the egg into a creviced mess, Daisy Zane suddenly missed Kevin rk, thought of James Collins, and even Charles Amos. If any of them were here, it wouldnt be her turn to struggle with this egg. You should be as attentive, Daisy Zane looked up at Celeste and said softly. Celeste froze for a moment, then forced a smile, Brook God, what do you mean by that? I mean, youll have to face the consequences of being overly attentive, Daisy Zane said without leaving her any face-saving opportunity. The warning was very clear. Celeste looked into the coldness that shed in Daisys eyes, and her heart couldnt help but tremble. The calmness shed tried to maintain on the surface was slowly copsing due to Daisys casual coldness. Has she been found out? The news on the inte was withdrawn so quickly that it must have been Kevin rk who intervened. Did Kevin find out about her? But she used a ck card. And even if she was caught, howe no one hade after her in two days? Celeste keptforting herself not to scare herself, and she had to hold on and stay steady. But thinking this way, her face still turned pale. Seeing the situation, George immediately pulled Daisy Zanes clothes from under the table. This part would definitely be cut out, so the videography was not a big issue. There were just many students around, and it wasnt good for this scene to be seen. Daisy Zane wouldnt cause a scene, so when she felt George tugging on her clothes, she looked down and continued to peel the egg in her hand. Seeing this, the director group found an excuse and said they had something to discuss with Celeste, and asked her to leave. Celeste couldnt stand Daisy Zanes gaze at all, so she hurried away as soon as the director called her. As soon as she left, George Dunn smiled and asked, Did she annoy you? Daisy Zane didnt say anything, but took a bite of the egg and chewed slowly. Turner Daniel soon came back, and he put the ss next to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane thanked him, finishing thest bite of the egg and starting to tear the medicine packet. Wheres Celeste? Turner Daniel asked. She was called away by the director. It seemed like there was an issue, George chatted casually, I thought you werenting back after you leftst week. No, my grandpa had an ident. I went to M Continent. Turner Daniel rested his cheek on his hand, his face still showing the innocence of a teenager in his teens, but his eyes were mature, But after recording this show, I might quit the circle. Is it serious? George Dunn frowned, subconsciously feeling that his grandfathers ident must have been major. Its not serious for my grandfather. He broke his leg. Its just that hes getting old and needs some time to recover. George, from a wealthy family himself, could understand his mindset. When someone took care of their family matters, they could indulge outside and do what they liked. But when something happened at home that they needed to take responsibility for, they had to put aside their external affairs. Apparently, Turner Daniel had to return home to take over the family business at a young age. Upon hearing the words M Continent, ident, broken leg, and old age, Daisy Zane immediately thought of three characters in her mind. Ezekiel Santiago. Same surname This Turner Daniel is he Dean Yues grandson? As Daisy Zane thought about it, she nced at Turner Daniel and then raised her eyebrows. She was a generation older than him. Chapter 329: 305: Celestial Pivot Assessment Chapter 329: 305: Celestial Pivot Assessment
Trantor:549690339 They finished their meal rather quickly today, so they returned to the ssroom earlier than usual. When Daisy Zane entered the ssroom, Marsh Turner was sitting across the aisle from Amelie Quentin, surrounded by a crowd of people.
Everyone seemed to be engaged in a heated discussion about something. Daisy Zane ruffled Amelie Quentins hair and took her seat, noticing that William Butch had arrived. During the morning self-study session, the seat in front of her had been empty. William Butch was, as usual, keeping his head down, as if he wanted to iste himself from the rest of the world. Daisy Zane thought of the materials Holt Lawrence had given her. But just as she began to consider matters, Holt Lawrences name entered her earshot. Daisy Zane nced to the side. Then she asked Amelie Quentin, What are they discussing? I dont know, I didnt listen. Amelie Quentin responded listlessly, her voicecking energy. Upon seeing this, Daisy Zane touched her forehead. She wasnt feverish. What are you doing?
Why are you so down? Daisy Zane asked, Why is our nations flower wilting? Amelie Quentin nced at her and then huffily looked away again. Daisy Zane was about to tease her a little more when Marsh Turner suddenly came over, a crowd in tow. Daisy, long time no see. We just saw each otherst Friday. But its been two days already. Daisy Zane lifted the corner of her mouth and asked, What are you discussing? Celestial Pivot, Marsh Turner answered, Daisy, have you ever heard of Celestial Pivot? The Celestial Pivot Detective Agency. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow: Ive heard a bit about it. At the same time, William Butch, who had heard these two words, gently stroked the tips of his fingers resting on his legs, and his eyshes trembled slightly. Daisy, you know about Celestial Pivot too. Turner Daniel also turned around and asked.
Daisy Zane nodded. On Wednesday, Celestial Pivot is holding a member selection. Marsh Turner said. Naturally, Daisy Zane knew about it. She just didnt expect this matter to be discussed at school. Was Celestial Pivot actually that well-known among students? Werent a lot of people supposed to be unaware of what Celestial Pivot does? And judging by their intense interest, it seemed they were all very intrigued. Are you all nning on participating? Daisy Zane casually asked. The bustling crowd suddenly fell silent after her question. Daisy Zane looked at them. A few secondster, Marsh Turner cleared his throat: Daisy, thats the Celestial Pivot Detective Agency. Were afraid that we cant even open the Celestial Pivot Assessment page. After he finished, a few people behind him nodded earnestly. Moreover, this time the questions are set by Nathan Ninevara. That implies that the selection standards this time are at least two levels higher than previous years. Marsh Turner and the boys around him looked at each other, respect and fear evident in their eyes, Daisy, do you know about Nathan Ninevara? Hes the worlds No.1. An unbeatable hacker.
Before Daisy Zane could respond, a snigger emerged from the crowd. Although the sound wasnt loud, everyone was listening to Marsh Turner talk, so this unfriendlyugh was very noticeable. The people around all turned to look. A crowd of people, like a wall, blocked Daisy Zanes view. But she soon figured out who it was, because Jessica Maxwells voice rang out, filled with false innocence: Arent you guys being a bit unfair, how could Daisy know all this. Discussing it this way would only make Daisy ufortable, wont it? The implications was enough to make anyone feel ufortable. Olivia Lane directly retorted: Yes, you seem to know a lot. Youd even dig up graves from a thousand years ago to ask the deceased about their lives. Such fiery temper Daisy Zane chuckled quietly. Jessica Maxwells face immediately darkened. But neither Daisy Zane nor Olivia Lane could see it. Marsh Turner, afraid that they would start fighting, immediately tried to smooth things over. But just as he was about to speak, Jessica Maxwell started again. Her voice was loud and confident: Of course I know. My cousin will be taking the test. And She will definitely pass. Although school had only been in session for less than a month, nearly everyone in ss knew that Jessica Maxwells cousin was Bonnie Maxwell. Because of the rtion between the Maxwell and rk families, everyone indulged her, or rather, yielded to her. In this ss, only Marsh Turner and Olivia Lane did not indulge her. Marsh Turner, being a boy, would only speak up when Jessica Maxwell crossed the line. But Olivia Lane was different, she confronted her head-on. Sometimes, it even seemed like Olivia Lane might p her right across the face. Everyone was unaware of Olivia Lanes status, they just assumed she was courageous. Seeing everyone looking at her, Jessica Maxwell tossed her chin up again and said, My sister will prove through her actions that the Celestial Pivots assessment cant stop her. Nobody spoke. After all, in their minds, Bonnie Maxwell was not only beautiful, but also talented in both literary and martial arts, almost omnipotent, and capable of anything. The Celestial Pivots assessment might indeed not be a challenge for her. Most importantly, she held the title of future wife of Harton rk. Who at this table would dare to provoke the rk Family? That was simply suicidal. Only Olivia Lane spoke up: Oh, you mean Bonnie Maxwell. You sounded so confident I thought you were talking about yourself. Whether others can make it or not, whats there for you to be so proud of? Everyones gazes immediately fell on Olivia Lane. The two boys who shared a table behind Olivia Lane were standing by Marsh Turner, discussing their previous topic. Seeing this, they signaled her repeatedly to stop talking. But Olivia Lane, in a bad mood, did not shut up: If your sister is so capable, why doesnt she break the Celestial Pivots defense system? Olivia Lane, you As Jessica Maxwell spoke, she got up and walked towards her. However, Marsh Turner blocked her after only one step, looking at her with downcast eyes. Jessica Maxwells chest rose and fell dramatically as her face contorted in anger: Marsh Turner, step aside. What for if I do? To start a fight? Marsh Turner said calmly. None of your business. What if I insist on interfering? So youre taking Olivia Lanes side against me? Jessica Maxwell red at him, Do you know who I am? Do you want to offend the Maxwell Family? Or the rk Family?! Upon hearing rk family, Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. Olivia Lane looked at her and then leaned close, whispering in her ear, Everyone in Imperial Capital secretly says that Bonnie Maxwell is Harton rks future wife. When you get home, you should teach Harton rk a lesson. Your suggestion is not bad, the glint of amusement in Daisy Zanes eyes deepened. Upon hearing her reply, Olivia Lane suddenly felt a little happier. Shepletely forgot that her voice was being picked up by the microphone. She was burying a super huge pit for herself down the line. Marsh Turner said: Dont try to scare me with that, Im not falling for your tricks. Jessica Maxwell was quivering with rage, but if she backed down now, she would lose face. She had to settle things with Olivia Lane. Looking at her still not backing down, Marsh Turner thought to himself,dy, Im trying to save you. If you so much as touch Olivia Lanes clothes today, Tomorrow, the Lane Familys helicopter could be hovering above your house. The stalemate between them wasnt resolved until a few girls, under the guise offorting her, led Jessica Maxwell away. Only then did the farce end. Chapter 330: 306: Blacklisted Chapter 330: 306: cklisted
Trantor:549690339 The little episode with Jessica Maxwell soon passed, and everyone didnt take it to heart. The first period was English ss, and the teacher was talking about the weekend assignment. When discussing multiple-choice questions, the teacher was exining restrictive and non-restrictive rtive uses.
Daisy Zane listened for a while before her thoughts drifted to William Butch. Holt Lawrence had sent her all the information he found that night. Everything was organized in great detail. William Butch had been taken care of by his grandparents since he was two or three years old. His parents divorced, and neither of them wanted him. His father had his own family a year after the divorce andpletely left William Butch out of his life. As for Williams mother, she lived abroad. The information they found showed that thest time she came to see William was four years ago. From the ne tickets and hotel bookings, it seemed she had only stayed in the Imperial Capital for one night before leaving. His mother had been sending money to her parents, and she also gave William a separate sum of money. There was a bank card under Williams name, where his mother deposited money every month. But William rarely used that card. He was also raised pretty much freely by his grandparents.
It seemed like their only responsibility was to keep him alive, and they didnt care about anything else. ording to the investigation, the bullying William experienced mainly came from two aspects. One was his personality and hobbies. William was too quiet, very shy, and had a passive personality. The original quote from the person sent by Holt Lawrence to investigate was: That child, so quiet like a little Miss. When Daisy Zane saw this, she immediately thought in her head: Why does quiet necessarily mean being like a little Miss? Robinson Scott, the girl she knew, she had never seen her being quiet. As for his hobbies one of the most memorable was that he liked pink things a lot. For example, pens, pencil cases, book covers, bags, clothes, shoes He had a weak spot for anything pink. The second reason was that he was too smart and intelligent, which led to his istion. William was intelligent since he was young and even skipped a grade. The teacher often praised him, often saying sentences like, Look at William, and then look at yourselves.
William was that other persons child in the parents eyes. This also caused some students who were older and taller than him, often nagged by their teachers and parents, to bully him. Daisy Zane looked at William, who was now stripped from his pink trappings from head to toe and ranked second tost in the entire school, and thought about the beatings he took. Moreover, those beatings were just a part of the investigation, learned from some people. There might be even more that they didnt find out about. She didnt quite understand. Why didnt he fight back? Even if he couldnt win, it was still better than standing there and taking the hit. If the other party had more people, he could just randomly grab someone and fight back. He didnt think to ask for help either. Neither his family nor his teachers were there to help, and he never thought of calling the police. There were so many other ways to fight, but he chose to suffer in silence. Daisy Zane felt aggrieved just thinking about it.
The period went by quickly, and Daisy Zane looked at Williams retreating figure indifferently. She then stretched her leg and kicked the leg of his chair. Even from his back, one could tell that William was clearly startled for a moment before he pulled his chair forward. However, as soon as he moved it, Daisy kicked his chair leg again. William paused for two seconds, then moved his chair forward again. And Daisy kicked it one more time. Olivia Lane, who was watching all of this, said: Turner Daniel saw his deskmate being squeezed between the table and the chair, blinked his eyes, and then turned to look at Daisy Zane. At this point, Olivia Lane also spoke up: What are you doing? Im bullying him. Daisy Zanes voice was not soft, Cant you see. Olivia Lane: Turner Daniel: Hearing this, William, who had his head lowered, became even more nervous. Olivia Lane thought there was a problem with her ears and asked again: What are you doing? Daisy Zanes lips curled up slightly before she said: William, theres a pen under your feet, can you help pick it up? Upon hearing this, all three of them looked down at Williams feet, and sure enough, there was a pen lying there. It was still the pen Daisy Zane asked for on her first day with Olivia Lane. She threw it away before ss was over. William Butch stared at the ground for a moment before slowly moving his chair back and bending down to pick up the pen. Then he stretched out his hand and ced the pen behind him without looking back. Seeing this, Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. When he was about to retrieve his hand after putting the pen down, she grabbed his forearm. The school uniform was very loose, but his arm was very thin. Daisy Zane felt that his arm was even thinner than hers. Olivia Lane suddenly widened her eyes and Turner Daniel frowned slightly. The one with the biggest reaction was William Butch, who shuddered. After shuddering, he began to tremble all over. It seemed like a subconscious action, stiffly trying to pull his hand back and burying his head even lower. Seeing William Butch shivering more and more intensely and Daisy Zane still showing no sign of letting go, Turner Daniel reminded her: Daisy. He was afraid that with so many students around, it would spread that Daisy Zane was bullying students at school. Daisy Zanes face didnt show any emotion, as usual. She said Thank you first, then let go of her hand, turned her palm up, opened it, and said, Theres a mosquito. What were you thinking of? In Daisy Zanes palm was a dead mosquito. The mosquito had just sucked blood from someone and vomited it all out. Not only did Daisy Zanes palm have blood on it, but William Butchs school uniform was also stained with blood. Olivia Lane said nothing and turned her head away, not wanting to deal with Daisy Zane anymore. Turner Daniel, on the other hand, blinked twice before handing her two tissues. William Butch looked at his sleeve and said after a moment of silence, Thank you. Your clothes are dirty, said Daisy Zane. Already turning his body to the side, William Butch still kept his head down. Hearing her words, he shook his head to indicate that it was all right. At this moment, George Dunn came in from outside, stopped when he reached them, and said while scratching his exposed arm, Do we have mosquitoes in our ssroom? Daisy Zane: George Dunn stretched his arm out to show them and said, Look, this mosquito must be a king. With this weather and this temperature, it can still survive and bite me so big. Turner Daniel looked up at George Dunn and saw a somewhat proud expression in his eyes. As expected, two secondster, he heard George Dunn say, Sure enough the mosquitoes that bite me are not ordinary mosquitoes. Olivia Lane: Daisy Zane couldnt listen anymore and threw the tissue she had just wiped her hands with in front of George Dunn. The side with the dead mosquito and blood on it was facing up, Not as good as the mosquito king with long eyshes. George Dunn looked at the tissue and said, ? Daisy Zane stood up and said to Olivia Lane, Im going to wash my hands. As she walked out, she added, Its your blood, bad luck. This disgusted tone Both Turner Daniel and Olivia Laneughed. George Dunn came back to his senses: ???! !!! After washing her hands, Daisy Zane checked the messages on her cell phone in the restroom. Her phone vibrated several times during ss, so she silenced it. She opened it and saw that all the messages were from Gael Easton. He said a lot of random things in the front, most of themining about Harton rk. He even sent a long picture, with all the shorings of Harton rk he had listed. A total of one hundred and one. Daisy Zane clicked on the image, nced over it, and saw the shorings lying in it, such as looking too good makes one restless, men who look like him would have ugly children, the surname Ye doesnt match hers, male fox spirits are no good, men over 185cm tallck oxygen, and so on. Afterward, probably because Daisy Zane kept ignoring him, Gaul began to apologize for his own inappropriatements. It was just that his way of apologizing was unique. [Well its good to have dreams. Its nice for anyones dreams toe true.] [Domestic is good too, with beautiful mountains and rivers and good public security. Some issues might not even be a problem.] [Celebrities are good; they have a mass base and can reach the grassroots. They can also experience all aspects of life.] After sending a dozen or so messages apologizing without saying the word apologize, Gael Easton started cursing. Every sentence began with stinky brat. He cursed for more than twenty minutes, and when he still didnt get a response, he started transferring money. USD 10,000 at a time, transferring USD 200,000 in total. After reaching the WhatsApp limit, he switched to a bank card. After transferring more than ten million, he finally calmed down. Daisy Zane casually read the messages and then collected the money one by one. And then she cklisted Gael Easton Chapter 331: 307: Gifts Bought for Charles Amos Chapter 331: 307: Gifts Bought for Charles Amos
Trantor:549690339 Only after the wound on Kevin rks mouth had fully healed did he bring Charles Amos home on Tuesday morning to visit his elderly father. So his father wouldnt see him in an awkward situation.
What he didnt know was that there was a guest at home, talking about Charles Amos. Bonnie Maxwell arrived more than nine oclock, still bringing lots of things with her. Because when she was young, Tom Wayne saved her life, and she studied acupuncture and traditional medicine with him, so she visited rk Manor very frequently. Although nine out of ten times she wouldnt bump into Kevin rk, and the one time she did, he would say Hmm to her at most. But she still came, and got along well with Mr. & Mrs. rk. The rk family naturally knew her intentions, but they never interfered with the affairs of the young people. At most, they would urge them to find a partner soon. So they never got too close to Bonnie Maxwell, just stayed at the level of elders and juniors rtionships. They always managed this rtionship very well. ra, I heard that youre going to participate in the Celestial Pivot selection, Elina rk asked. When she said this, Charles Amos had just run to the front hall and heard the familiar voice inside, a voice he would remember for the rest of his life.
It was the woman who hadpeted in marksmanship against his mother at the military district shooting range and was defeated. She had almost scared him to tears. So he stopped and didnt move. Even gestured a shush sign to Kevin rk, who was walking slowly behind him. In the hall, Bonnie Maxwell replied with a smile, Yes. I havent been too busytely, so I thought Id give it a try. Instead of taking a break while youre not busy, Tom Wayne said, dont work too hard, and pay attention to your health. Yeah, Bonnie Maxwell replied, we dont have any Celestial Pivot members, and every time we want some information, we have to pay a high price for it. If I get in, I can climb up, and itll be more convenient in the future whenever we need information. Thats true. Elina rk nodded in agreement. Bonnie Maxwells mouth still had a smile, and after talking for a bit more, she said, My father went to the south recently and brought back some tea, so I brought some over too. Thanks for thinking of us, having your father bring things every time. Its my pleasure, Bonnie Maxwell replied, I also bought a game console that is popr among children nowadays, as well as some educational Lego toys, all for Charles. Tom Wayne looked at her, For Charles?
Yes. I asked, and they are all things that nine or ten-year-old children like. Bonnie Maxwell said, smiling at Tom Wayne. The rk family has always been good at hiding their emotions. To ascertain what was going on in their minds through their expressions was simply more difficult than ascending to the heavens. But Bonnie Maxwell always had a strategy in mind, and she was confident that the rk family did not know about Charles Amos. Although she hadnt been able to find any information about the child, she had pried information from Thomas Firway. From his mouth, she learned that the child was already nine years old and was Daisy Zanes son. Nine years old, which means Daisy Zane wasnt even an adult when she had the child. How dare a woman like that let the rk family know? How could the rk family let such a woman in their home? Moreover, Tom Wayne asked again, For Charles? So, her carefully crafted smile on her face suddenly froze, showing a horrified look as if shed made a mistake, Didnt The Third Master tell you about Daisy Zanes son?
At this wording, Tom Waynes gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, then he exchanged nces with Elina rk. Elina rk raised her eyebrows enigmatically but said nothing. Meanwhile, Charles Amos, who had been listening outside the hall, turned his head, looked up, and stared at Kevin rk. Kevin rk patted his head to keep him quiet. Charles Amos crossed his arms, ring at him and whispered, Your rotten peach blossoms! Illin! Kevin rk squinted his eyes. Charles took two steps back and said in a mix of trembling and fierce manner, If you dare hit me, I will make things up when Iin! Kevin looked at him for a while, then snorted lightly, As if you wouldin and know how to make things up. Charles: After a nce at Elina rk and Natalie Waynes expressions, Bonnie Maxwell whispered apologetically, Im sorry, I shouldnt have stuck my nose in it. I saw that Third Master and Daisy Zane had a good rtionship. Regarding Charless case, I thought he would have talked to the family. Since Natalie couldnt bear to see the grown-up child embarrassed, she was about to exin when Charless voice suddenly rang. Grandpa! Grandma! Charles listened from outside, waiting for the perfect opportunity to run in. The three people talking in the living room immediately looked at the entrance. Soon after the rapid footsteps, Charles appeared in their line of sight. ra Mitchell opened her eyes wide, her body stiffening with shock as she looked at the person at the entrance. Seeing him, both Elina and Natalie immediately startedughing. Hey, our Charles is here, Elina waved, Come here,e to Grandpa. Charles nced at ra, who had been staring at him non-stop, and ran to Elinas side, Grandpa, I missed you and Grandma so much. Why didnt youe to visit us then? Natalie spoke gently. Elina touched his hand, his eyes involuntarily drifting toward the living room door. I wanted to visit earlier, Charles started ming Kevin, but Uncle didnt let me. He found me annoying and didnt like me; he even wanted to hit me just now. Charless cunning acting skills showed up on the spot, making his story sound more pitiful. Natalie smiled and said, If he dares to hit you, Grandma will chase him away with a stick. Thank you, Grandma, Charles sweetly voiced his gratitude. Just then, Kevin entered, his sudden appearance catching Elina off guard, who, being older, had slightly less keen hearing and hadnt heard his footsteps. She quickly looked away, unable to put on an angry expression in time. Caught red-handed by Kevin. As a result, Elina had to exert effort twice on her facial muscles to show he was still angry. Kevinughed inwardly but didnt expose him. He looked at Charles and said, Fine, you let my mom hit me, and Ill let your mom hit you. Fair enough. Charless smug little face immediately crumbled. Kevin looked at him again and then turned to Elina, Dad. Elina held Charless little hand, lowering her head, not looking or engaging with him. Natalie nced at him, then exchanged a smile with Kevin. Charles,e to Grandma, Natalie let him sit beside her, then introduced the cunning little boy, Charles, Lucia here is Grandmas apprentice. She oftenes to visit Grandpa and Grandma. You can call her Auntie Bonnie. When Kevin entered the room, ra had already calmed down. She never expected that the rk Family knew about the existence of this child and had even brought him home. Fortunately, she hadnt said anything too harsh earlier. There was still a chance to make amends. As Natalie introduced her, ra smiled at Charles. Although the smile didnt reach her eyes and hid a great distortion beneath her calm surface, Charles looked at her, his lips moving several times without uttering anything. He didnt want to address this bad woman, but he was afraid his grandparents would think he was being impolite. If he was impolite, it would affect his mothers educational reputation and her image. But he couldnt say it. Chapter 332: 308: Replace Holt Lawrence Chapter 332: 308: Rece Holt Lawrence
Trantor:549690339 Arthur North saw that Charles Amoss mouth was moving, but no sound came out. Heughed, sat down beside him, and casually ced the strawberry te on the tea table on hisp, saying, Eat.
Charles Amos looked at the fruit te on hisp, then at Arthur North, and whispered, Thank you. Arthur North didnt answer him but looked at ra Mitchell and said, Last time in the Military District, you and your brother started trouble. Charles still has a bad impression of you. Children are sensitive. In a few sentences, Arthur North removed Charless crisis Charles pursed his lips, thinking: for todays events, he wouldnt tattle. ra Mitchell courteously said, It really was offensive of us. Arthur North didnt quite listen to her words but directly said, Miss Maxwell, I just heard at the entrance that you bought something for Charles. ra Mitchells fingers tightened instantly. Although there was a smile in Arthur Norths eyes, it was colder than the December frost. She swallowed subconsciously and tried to squeeze out a smile, Yes, I did. I Miss Maxwell really made an effort, Arthur North interrupted her directly, You even knew his age. I I just guessed, ra Mitchell said. You guessed, Arthur North scoffed, With his height, would you guess hes eight or nine years old? Charless little eyebrows almost stood up: Tattling could still be arranged.
I ra Mitchell stammered. Arthur Norths aura was too strong, and the pressure was too intense. Not only was ra Mitchell tongue-tied, but her gaze began to waver. Checking on me, Arthur North saidzily, Do you think a few of the Maxwell family are enough for me to handle? This sentence weighed heavily on ra Mitchells heart, like a stone. Her heart was about to explode. She didnt expect Arthur North to say that, without any regard for the rtionship between the two families. She looked at him incredulously. It was incredible that he would go this far for a Daisy Zane. Arthur, Tom Wayne called him. Arthur North averted his gaze and said lightly, Im not joking. If theres a next time, Ill make the entire Maxwell family disappear. ra Mitchell couldnt utter a single word. Arthur North said, Its almost noon, so I wont invite Miss Mitchell to have lunch.
He gave the eviction order. ra Mitchells hands clenched hard, her knuckles turning white, and her jawline tensing. She didnt expect Arthur North to say something so heavy. And Tom Wayne and the others didnt say a word for her. She took a light breath and tried her best to squeeze out a smile, Then Aunt Wayne, Uncle rk, Ill take my leave first. Alright, Tom Wayne stood up to send her off. As she walked out, she heard Charles suddenly say, Grandpa, do you like the Celestial Pivot? If you do, Ill rece Holt Lawrence in the future. Whatever you want to know, Ill tell you personally. Elina rk was amused by him, You know Holt Lawrence? Yes, Charles nodded. Arthur North thought he was deliberately making ra Mitchell listen, deliberately annoying her, and didnt take it to heart, Little brat, you have quite some ideas. Whats wrong with being a little brat? Im amazing, Charles nced at ra Mitchells back and said loudly, Isnt it just an assessment? Ill also participate tomorrow, and I can get into the Celestial Pivot. Arthur North raised his eyebrows. Daisy Zane had taught him a lot, and he watched from the side, learning. Maybe he really would be a hacker.
ra Mitchell knew he was deliberately provoking her, but hearing him say that, she was almost angered into a heart attack. A nine-year-old child, daring topare himself with her, ignorant of the world, and just like Daisy Zane, was an insult to her. Elina rk echoed him, Alright. From now on, if I want to know something, Ill ask you. No problem, Charles agreed cheerfully. Tom Wayne and ra Mitchell left the living room, walked a few steps, and then Tom Wayne gently reminded her, ra, Arthur is a person who, once he makes up his mind, never changes. And hes very protective. Anyone who moves his things or people, hes willing to put his life on the line. The implication was for her to dispel those thoughts she shouldnt have, to know when to stop, and not to go beyond the point of no return. ra Mitchells face was pale. She originally wanted to exin that she wasnt what they thought, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Tom Wayne blocked it, Go back. Youre not only my half-apprentice but also a half-daughter. Youre always wee toe to visit the two of us. ra Mitchell hooked the corner of her lips, Alright, Aunt Wayne, you can go back. Hmm. Tom Wayne watched her leave, looking at her back. ying these tricks in front of her was simply too clumsy. Since she didnt know the rtionship between Daisy Zane and Arthur North, ra Mitchell had been instilling negative thoughts about Daisy Zane in her mind. Tom Wayne truly hoped she would stop, not to wear out the many years of friendship between them. She stood outside for a while, and when she returned, Arthur North was talking to Elina rk. But Elina rk was acting awkward and ignoring him. Charles Amos paced between the two for a while, suddenly realizing the situation. The man was there to win people over, again. So he was just a tool for them. Seeing Elina rks resentful face, Tom Wayne went to the second floor and fetched a square wooden box, which he handed to Harton rk. Harton raised his eyebrows and asked, Whats this? Open it and see. Tom said as he sat down next to Charles Amos and squeezed his little face. Harton opened the box and found a protective amulet inside. He examined it carefully, pinched it, and asked, This is ? Tom smiled and said, Your dad got up at three oclock in the early morning and climbed a mountain for three hours, then spent another two hours praying for this at the temple. Why do you tell him these things? Elina rk huffed. I want to, whats it to you? Tom retorted. Elina rk: For safety, Tom said. Harton caressed the protective amulet in his hand and looked at Elina rk, Dad, you have a good body. You can climb a mountain for three hours. Elina rk huffed again, Better than you. Harton chuckled and said, Thank you, Dad. Elina rk tilted his head and ignored him. After lunch, the ssroom was a bit lively at school. Daisy Zane noticed something these past few days; the students in her ss were quite gossip-loving. They would gather to discuss whenever there was a tiny ripple online as soon as ss ended. On Monday, the topic revolved around Celestial Pivot, while on Tuesday morning, they were discussing the national dancepetition. And the discussions continued right after lunch. Apparently, thispetition had nothing to do with anyone in the ss, but everyone was excited about the topic. Moreover, the focus was not on thepetition itself but on the Lane family. Thats because Olivia Lanes mother, Sophie Ortiz, would be sitting on the judging panel of the Dance Association during the finals as the chairperson. At least half of the Dance Association members came from various dancepetitions. Years ago, Ste Edwards was handpicked by Sophie Ortiz from a dancepetition and was even taken as an apprentice. So each dancepetition garnered significant attention. Joining the Dance Association is one thing, but if someone bes Sophie Ortizs apprentice, their future prospects would be limitless. The Dance Associations official website announced today that the open audition would be held next Monday. After that, it would be the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals. As soon as the news was released, it immediately became a hot search. However, the sss discussions didnt have much to do with dancing. It was because the official website included a photo of Sophie Ortiz, and everyone was discussing why Lady Lanes mother was so young, so beautiful, and had such a great temperament. Olivia Lane wore earphones in one ear, buried her head in a game, and automatically blocked out their conversations. Daisy Zane also followed the Dance Associations matters and checked the discussions after hearing about them. She looked at Sophie Ortiz for a while, then looked at Olivia Lane, You look a lot like your mother. Thats my mom, of course, we look alike. Olivia Lane replied before ncing at Daisy Zane, Are you going to participate? What? Olivia Lane stared at her and said impatiently, The dancepetition. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, I cant. Youre lying! Olivia Lane threw three words at her. Daisy Zane smiled and took out her cell phone to check it but didnt say anything else. Olivia Lane waited for her to speak, but realized she had no intention of continuing the conversation. She blinked her eyes, and didnt look at her phone until she heard the games kill announcements. Then she was quiet for a while before saying, Amelia Miles is participating. Upon hearing this name, Daisy Zane looked up and asked with a smile, How do you know? Olivia Lane gazed at the game screen without lifting her head and sighed, Just saw it unintentionally on Facebook. She posted that she was going topete and is now in the Imperial Capital for training. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. The Miles family had been too quiet these days, and she had almost forgotten about them. Johanes Miles said he would give her shares, but there had been no news on that front. Olivia Lane tapped the screen a few times and said, What a jinx, it ruined my lunch. Watching her angry expression, Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth with a smile. Chapter 333: 309: Beaten Up Again Chapter 333: 309: Beaten Up Again
Trantor:549690339 Before the afternoon ss, Daisy Zane received another bombardment of messages from Gael Eastons new number. [You cklisted me! Not only on WhatsApp, but you even cklisted my two numbers!]
[If you cklist me, fine, but dont take my money!] [You smelly girl! How dare you cklist me! Do you think I cant do anything to you!] Daisy Zane looked at the messages popping up one by one on her cell phone, moved her fingertips, and cklisted this new number as well. However, three minutester, Gael Easton switched to another number and came back. [Fine, are you addicted to cklisting me? If I contact you again, Ill take your surname.] [After I send this message, well end our friendship. Well contact each other through drift bottles.] As the ss bell rang, Daisy Zane didnt bother with him, turned off her cell phone, and took out the roll she needed for ss. The teacher came to the ssroom ten minutes early and was surrounded by students asking questions at the front. As the ss bell rang, she let the students return to their seats to begin the lesson. About ten minutester, William Butch walked in through the entrance, still keeping his head down. However, lowering his head did not cover the injury on his face.
His left cheek was obviously swollen, and the corner of his mouth was torn. His school uniform was dirty, with footprints all over his pants. He was walking a little faster than usual. Turner Daniel hesitated for a moment when he saw him like this, then immediately got up and let him sit back in his seat. Following William Butch, came Marsh Turner. Marsh Turner was carrying his school uniform jacket, and in order not to disturb the teachers ss, he just smiled apologetically at the teacher when she looked at him, then quickly walked towards his seat. Daisy Zane raised her eyes to look at Marsh Turners face, then moved her gaze down to see his hand hanging by his side. There were slight scratches on the back of his hand, probably from a fight with someone. As Marsh Turner sat down, Daisy Zane shifted her gaze back to William Butch sitting in front of her. Turner Daniel was giving him tissue paper to wipe the blood from his face. William Butch, however, shrunk his neck and ignored him. Turner Daniel then ced the tissue paper next to him. Olivia Lane, who was a little sleepy moments before, suddenly became more than half awake. The whole ss looked over at them consciously or unconsciously.
Daisy Zanes face showed no emotion, just a hint of exasperation in her eyes. After the first period ended, the teacher left, and shortly after, Skyler Thomas called William Butch away. Before leaving, she nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked back at her, just for a moment. Last time Skyler Thomas asked her for help, Daisy Zane did not give a definite answer. She just investigated William Butchs situationter on. After William Butch was taken away by Skyler Thomas, he didnt return for the whole afternoon. Daisy Zane didnt see him again until dinner time. After dinner, Daisy Zane bumped into an acquaintance outside the cafeteria. She still remembered the shy girl from the Pipa ssst week, named Willow Martin. Willow Martin seemed to be waiting for her outside the cafeteria. When she saw Daisy Zane, her eyes lit up, and then her face turned red suddenly.
Eight people who recorded the show, along with some students from the 15th and 16th sses, were leaving the cafeteria together. Willow Martin was holding a bottle of drink in her hand, her eyes on Daisy Zane, wanting toe forward but dared not because of the crowd and the camera. Took a step forward and immediately retracted it. The shy and surprised expression instantly became somewhat anxious. Seeing this, Daisy Zane walked towards her: Looking for me? Willow Martin nced at the group of people behind her, her gaze lingering on Celeste Martin for a moment, seeing Celestes face with a gentle smile. She felt a sh of disgust in the depths of her eyes, and then looked at Daisy Zane: Something hase up. After she finished speaking, she nced at the camera behind her and added, Its my personal matter, kind of important. Daisy Zane looked at her for a while, then turned around and spoke a few words to the cameraman behind her before taking Willow Martin to a more distant ce. Celeste Martin squinted her eyes as she watched the two of them leave. When did these two be so close? There was a forest ahead, with round stone benches inside. Some wish notes were pasted on the trees. They were all about which university and major they wanted to apply for. At this time, there were still students reciting in the woods. Daisy Zane and Willow Martin found a quiet corner. After settling down, Willow Martin asked first: Did you turn off your microphone? Daisy Zane didnt know what she wanted to talk about, so mysteriously. Still, she reached back and turned off her microphone: Whats the matter? Willow Martins face turned even redder under her gaze. She rubbed the drink in her hand, then lowered her head, not daring to look into Daisys eyes, and whispered: Wasnt there a boy in your ss who was beaten up today? Hearing her words, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly: How do you know? It really was your ss. Willow Martin murmured softly, I just happened to see it when I came to school today, and I eavesdropped on their conversation. Daisy Zane looked at her drooping eyshes. She suddenly came to find herself. Could it be that this matter had something to do with her as well: Is it rted to me? Willow Martin nodded. Daisy Zane: Those who beat him up were from both inside and outside the school. Willow Martin looked up at her and then lowered her gaze again, From what I heard them say, it seemed like they wanted the boy in your ss to take you outst night. But not only did he not take you, but he also managed to avoid themst night. Thats why he was cornered and beaten up at noon today. Daisy Zane rubbed her fingertips hanging at her side: Take me out? Yes, it was your name. Willow Martin said, I also heard them pping that boys face and saying, Wasnt that woman protecting you? Why didnt shee today? Daisy Zane thought of the faces of those people in the restroom that day. Sister Zane, be careful. Many students in this school have powerful family backgrounds. They arewless. Willow Martin said, Dont be caught alone. They might might As Willow Martin spoke, she thought about her words, They might do something terrifying. Because of her euphemistic words, Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth for a moment. After a while, she asked, Did you hear anything else? Well After thinking about it, Willow Martin said, No more. Then a very tall boy came over and chased them all away. I took the opportunity to run away when they were fighting. At this point, Willow Martin felt a little guilty, Should I have called the police? At the time, I was too scared, so I hid in the corner and didnt dare to move. I was afraid they would discover me. Actually, when Willow Martin heard someone fighting, she wanted to run away. Still, when she heard Daisy Zanes name, she stopped in her tracks and hid. You dont need to get involved. I can handle it. Willow Martins lips moved: Then you be careful. Daisy Zane looked at her, paused for a while, and then said, Thank you. Hearing her gratitude, some of the red that had just faded from Willow Martins face came back up again: No, it doesnt matter. No, not no need to thank me. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth: How is your pipa practice going? Ive made a lot of progress recently. Willow Martin said, lowering her head, Ill y it for you when I have time. Alright. Upon hearing her response, Willow Martins mood instantly improved. She handed the drink in her hand to Daisy: Here, for you. I was in such a hurry toe over after ss that I just bought this. Daisy Zane looked at her hands drink, hesitated for a moment, and then took it. Chapter 334: 310: Asking for Leave to Go Outside the Campus Chapter 334: 310: Asking for Leave to Go Outside the Campus
Trantor:549690339 During the evening self-study session, William Butch returned. His wounds had been treated, probably by Skyler Thomas.
Still sitting at his seat without saying a word, head down, as if even movement had ceased. When he returned, Daisy Zane nced at him, then wrote the chemistry paper on her desk. Olivia Lane sat next to her, watching her hold a pen in her hand, casually looking at the test paper, and then filling in the answers. No calction process, no steps. Whether it was multiple-choice, fill-in-the-nk, or essay questions, she looked at them for a while and then filled in the results. Moreover, ording to Olivia Lanes observation, her answers were all correct. After finishing the chemistry paper, Daisy Zane wrote the math paper. Then, with ten minutes left before the end of evening self-study, she got up, intending to go out. Olivia Lane didnt make way for her and asked, What are you doing? Daisy Zane rubbed her hair: The director wants to see me. Oh. Olivia Lane replied and then asked, Will you return to the dormitory? Mhm.
Olivia Lane got an answer, then moved her chair forward a little to let her out. Daisy Zane went to the front and told the teacher about the director calling for her before leaving the ssroom. The shooting director waiting outside the ssroom, hearing her voiceing through the mike, stared at her nkly, their eyes dazed. I didnt call, right? While removing her mike, Daisy Zane said: Director Nash called me. Did Director Nash call? The shooting director looked at the person next to him. Nobody around dared to speak up. This was Director Nash, who even Allonzo Hobson had taken care of. Director Nash called, Daisy Zane said, You can check. The shooting director picked up his walkie-talkie to ask, putting it close to his mouth, when he suddenly realized. Who am I doubting here?!
He was insanely bold. Just as he put down the walkie-talkie, director Nashs voice came through it: I called Daisy, I forgot to tell you, and I contacted her directly. Okay, okay. Shooting Director wiped his sweat, Daisy, please, please. Thank you, Daisy Zane said calmly, Finish early today, Ill go straight back to the dormitory when I return. Alright. The director didnt actually call Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane simply found an excuse and broadcasted it through the mike. Upon hearing the news, Director Nash also cooperated with her promptly. So she left the teaching building, requested a leave from Director Nash, and then directly left the school. There were many stationeries and supermarkets around the school. Daisy Zane put on a mask, took off her school uniform jacket, and carried it in her hand, then entered the second supermarket she passed by on the way.
She bought a ck duckbill cap. When paying, she saw cigarettes disyed near the cashier and casually picked up a box. Then she put on the duckbill cap, with the brim pulled down low, and returned to the vicinity of the school entrance. When she came out, there were ten more minutes before the end of self-study. At this point, students who go home every day started to leave. She squatted under the shadow of a tree, with the school uniform still hanging in her hand, the other hand propped up her chin,zily watching the students walk out. Soon, she saw several familiar facesing out of the school. These were the people who had beaten William Butch in the restroom that day. Not only were there a few of them, but there was also William Butch following closely behind. Daisy Zane prodded the brim of her hat upward and looked at the lowered head of William Butch. The group stopped for a moment at the entrance. William Butch kept his head down, wishing he could shrink his head into his thin body. When there were fewer students at the entrance, the group began to move, taking William Butch with them. Daisy Zane also stood up, pushed down the brim of her hat, and followed them from a distance. After walking for a while, the group in front entered an alley. Daisy Zane followed them in as well. The area around the alley was a demolition site, and it was deserted. Even the streetmps beside the alley seemed to say that this ce was abandoned and unmonitored by surveince cameras, making it a perfect spot for a beating. Daisy Zane walked a bit further inside, stopping next to a wall after she could hear voices. Didnt I tell you to bring that woman out? a person in the alley said, Where is she? Are you ying with me? No one responded. Then there were several pping sounds, as if someone was pped hard across the face: Youre protecting that woman so much, do you like her or something? As soon as those words were spoken, a few people burst intoughter. With your girly look, you dare to like someone. With your weak, chicken-like body, what do you think you can do? Still, you dare to foolishly fantasize about liking someone. Daisy Zanes eyebrows and eyes were within the shadow of the hat brim, and she gently twirled her fingertips. A few peopleughed again: Ive seen pictures of Daisy Zane online, incredibly beautiful, with both looks and figure. You protect her so much, but she probably wouldnt even give you a nce. Shes just here to record a show, and shell be gone next week. Why are you protecting her so much? William Butch still didnt make a sound. After a few seconds of silence, someone got angry. There was a loud p, breaking the silence of the darkness. Daisy Zane immediately walked deeper into the alley. William Butch was pped so hard that he was thrown to the side. However, he was very close to the wall, so he collided with it instead of falling down. The p gave him a brief moment of dizziness. It also seemed like a signal for everyone else to start taking action. But during Williams moment of dizziness, he instinctively leaned against the wall and covered his head with his hands. Daisy Zane had her hands in her pockets, with her school uniform draped over her wrists. In the midst of their punching and kicking, she whistled softly. The sound was not particrly loud, but it made everyone stop their assault and stare at her. In this alley, there were not only a few Gathering Joy School students, but also three people from other schools. They were dressed in branded clothes, wearing gold chains and gold watches, and had dyed yellow hair. Clearly, troublemakers. What is this all about? The voice came from the one who had been talking to William Butch all along, a bleached-haired youth. Daisy Zane didnt say a word and continued to walk towards them. The group couldnt quite figure out her background, but they could only see her school uniform pants, white half-sleeves, a head of shoulder-length ck hair, a ck mask, and a ck hat. The hat brim was pressed so low that her face waspletely obscured. As she walked leisurely, her aura seemed to be an army of thousands in the darkness about to leave them all dead in the alley. Yet, they only saw a female student in front of them. So, even though her aura was powerful, the group quickly reacted. Let me tell you, dont meddle in our business, its not something you can handle. Otherwise, youll bring trouble down on yourself. William Butch was shaking with fear, holding his head close to the wall as if he had once again blocked out everything around him. Cant you understand? The bleached-haired youth stepped forward, sized her up, then scoffed, What is it? Are you here to please us? Daisy Zane still didnt say a word. She calmly walked up to the bleached-haired youth and kicked him away with a swift motion. The bleached-haired youth soared into the air and fell heavily onto the ground. The thud of his heavy bodynding sounded as if it would crack the concrete. After falling, he slid almost a yard across the ground before lying still. A few secondster, he began to roll and groan in pain. Chapter 335: 311: The Handsome Male Voice Chapter 335: 311: The Handsome Male Voice
Trantor:549690339 Marsh Turner left the school, and was leisurely walking home with his ssmates when he suddenly heard boys from the neighboring ss saying that William Butch had left with some boys from ss 8. The boys from ss 8 were the ones who always beat up William.
Marsh paused, hesitated for two seconds, and immediately went to the ce where he had encountered William at noon today. At noon, he had only confronted a few outsiders, who were school acquaintances, and they were wary of him, so he just issued a warning or two. He hadnt expected them to agree amicably but continue their harassment in the evening anyway. It wasnt about whether he was willing to help anymore; his reputation was at stake. On top of that, they had mentioned Daisy Zane at noon. So it seemed that the issue had to be addressed thoroughly. Marsh hastened his pace towards the alleyway. But when he arrived in a rush, he saw people lying all over the ground. Some were lying t on the ground, looking like they would struggle to move an inch, while others struggled to get up but couldnt. Only a guy named Daniel Brown could barely stand by leaning against a wall. Then there was William, leaning against the wall with his hands on his head, appearing dazed as he stared at the people on the ground.
There was also a long-haired girl wearing a school uniform jacket and a hat, her back facing him. He couldnt see her face clearly, but her figure seemed familiar. Stunned by the scene, Marsh stopped in ce for a moment. But the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him. Although he couldnt see her eyes beneath the brim of her hat, he still felt the sharpness of her gaze, much like a knifes edge. Just after looking at him, the initial sharpness faded slightly, and then she turned back around. Marsh felt that she wasnt targeting him, so he stood still and didnt move. Daniel Brown was the first to fall. Lying on the ground, he looked at the girl, who easily managed to take them all down. And she seemed especially ruthless with them, as if she was trying to take their lives. Leaning against the wall and trembling, Daniel asked, What do you want? We have no grudges against each other. Why are you treating us like enemies? Daisy Zane kicked a leg by her foot and pushed it aside. Then, she pulled Williams hands away from his head, grabbed his arm, and drew him to her side. She asked, Have you ever beaten someone up?
Upon hearing these four words, not only did Daniel Brown jump in shock, but even Marsh Turner was startled. A womans figure, but with a voice that sounded like a mans. A cold and clear male voice. During the hellish training Daisy Zane had experienced years ago, she had always used this voice, which she learned on purpose. William, still shrinking his neck, shook his head after a while. Getting an answer, Daisy grabbed Williams arm and pulled him right in front of Daniel. Williams small frame seemed to be dragged by her. He wobbled a bit when they stopped before steadying himself. Still in her masculine voice, Daisy asked, How many times did he hit you just now? William lowered his head and said nothing. Daniel asked, What do you want?
Daisy ignored Daniel and continued, Since you wont say, I only heard one p. How about this, Ill repay it five times, thats fair, right? No, no need, William said as he tried to pull his hand away. But Daisy Zane clenched her fist a little tighter and then chuckled, Kid, youre in my hands now. Whether or not to use, its not up to you. William Butch buried his head even lower, shaking his head stubbornly, II dont hit people. II cantI wont. Daisy Zane didnt care what he said or his resistance, and with a strong swing of her arm, she forced William Butchs hand on Daniel Browns face. Although he did not use force and his wrist went limp, Daisy Zanes strength was enough to make it hard. For so many years, William Butch had only been on the receiving end, this was the first time he hit someone. He clearly felt his hand p someone elses face. The unfamiliar feeling immediately made him tremble all over. William Butch became even more resistant, trying to pull his hand back. But he was no match for Daisy Zanes strength. Daniel Brown, being hit, leaned against the wall, covering his face in humiliations and anger, You dare to fucking hit me. Daisy Zane grabbed Williams hand again and pped Daniel Brown, This is what he owes you. This force wont kill him. Marsh Turner swallowed his throat at these words. How did she know which force could actually end his life? Daisy Zane hit Daniel Brown again, and he was immediately rendered speechless. Daisy Zane said, Although I prefer peace, sometimes, using force can solve many problems. Like when your personal safety is threatened. William Butchs constantly trembling hand gradually steadied a bit. You have to learn to fight back, the strong never get bullied. Daisy Zane said, as she gave Daniel Brown another hit. And this time, she didnt stop. She immediately followed up with another blow. Since William Butch wasnt resisting now, this hit was even harder than the previous fourbined. Daniel Brown directly covered his face and slid down against the wall, sitting on the ground. Daisy Zane let go of Williams arm, then walked towards Daniel Brown again. When Williams arm was released, it hung down by his side. The warmth in his palm was familiar, the same warmth as when he gets hit on the face. Except today, he hit someone else. Seeing her approach, Daniel Brown suddenly burst into tears, covering his face and crying, I was wrong, I wont ever hit or bully people again, I know I was wrong. Daisy Zane looked down at his tear-soaked face and asked, Why did you target Daisy Zane? Marsh Turners expression shifted as he looked at her silhouette. He thought, is she Daisys friend? Did shee here for Daisy? Daniel Brown was frightened, understanding that if he didnt speak up, he would be beaten even worse. He said with a sob, I dontI dont know. A girl suddenly came to me. Daisy Zane listened quietly. W-we often hang around near the school, and that girl suddenly approached us. She asked us to find a way to bring Daisy Zane out, Daniel Brown continued, She wanted us to take Daisy Zane under surveince in the forest at Forest Park so they can capture some inappropriate videos of her. The woman also said we could make it extreme, to capture more, make it scandalous. Listening to this, William Butch looked down and pursed his lips. Marsh Turner walked over and kicked Daniel Brown, Have you grown too courageous? How dare you mess with anyone! You were lucky not to die at noon! Daisy Zane nced at Marsh Turner and continued in a male voice, Did you see the girls face? No, Daniel Brown moved a little further away from Marsh Turner and said, She was very well wrapped up, tighter than you, not even her fingers were exposed. Daisy Zane fell silent for a moment, then asked, When did she approach you? After thinking for a while, Daniel Brown said, OnSunday evening. She also gave us a huge suitcase, filled with cash. Marsh Turner cursed and said, So why did you guys go after William Butch? Daniel Brown was even more scared, moving further away and looking at the person lying on the ground. We often eat together with people from your school. I told them about this, asking them to help bring Daisy Zane out. They seemed to have a grudge with Daisy Zane and agreed very quickly. And then they found William Butch. Daniel Brown sniffed and continued, But this William Butch seems weak and easy to bully, but he is stubborn. No matter how much we hit him, he wouldnt take us to Daisy Zane. Chapter 336: 312: Vulnerable and Incapable of Taking Care of Oneself Chapter 336: 312: Vulnerable and Incapable of Taking Care of Oneself
Trantor:549690339 Even if Daisy Zane didnt want to get involved in William Butchs situation, it seemed she had no choice. After all, she was the one who put him in the position to get beaten twice, and she owed him a favor because of that.
She looked at Daniel Brown then at the people on the ground who had already managed to sit up. Her cold voice was filled with a touch of annoyance, Get lost. Daniel Brown quickly stood up, leaning against the wall, and walked toward the alley exit. The others on the ground helped each other up and walked out as well. Marsh Turner nced at the boys from ss 8. He wanted to say something, but he wasnt in the mood. So he looked at them and then looked away. Unexpectedly, the two boys from ss 8 supporting each other, as they approached Daisy Zane suddenly tried to stab her with a spring knife in the back. As the incident happened so fast, William Butch saw everything and managed to yell out. Hearing his yell, Marsh Turner finally noticed the spring knife. But due to the overwhelming shock, he was slow to react physically. Only Daisy Zane despite facing the opposite direction, was able to turn and grab the hand of the attacker in the instant the spring knife came at her. Moreover, she used her strength to dislocate his wrist. The boy screamed in pain, and the spring knife fell to the ground with a ng.
Finally, Marsh Turner reacted and kicked the boy in his ribs, sending him flying. James Butch, are you out of your mind? Marsh Turner cursed. James Butchy on the ground, holding his ribs with his left hand, his face pale as he could not speak. Marsh Turner was about to continue attacking when Daisy Zane held him back. He then stopped and said, Im warning you all C if any of you dare to touch anyone in our ss again, you better not show your faces in Domestic.. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. Marsh Turner said, Get lost now! The other two boys quickly helped James Butch up and left. When they were all far away, Marsh Turner took a few breaths and walked two steps towards William Butch. He pinched his chin, forcing him to lift his head and look at the injuries on his face. Daisy Zane pointed her finger at the brim of her hat and looked at William Butch as well. It seemed like this was the first time she saw William Butchs face. Indeed he was quite small.
A pretty young boy, though the injuries on his face somewhat diminished his attractiveness. What did I tell you this afternoon? If they hit you again, you have to hit back! Marsh Turner spoke with a tone of disappointment, The more youre like this, the more theyll bully you. Look at you, all beaten up again. Youre not afraid of getting hit, so why are you afraid to hit back?! William Butch freed himself from Marshs grip and lowered his head, briefly saying, Thank you. Thanks for nothing! The day you stop getting hit will be the day youve truly thanked me. Marsh Turner said. William Butch didnt say anything more. Marsh Turner took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to Daisy Zane, asking, Um this Big Brother? Sister? How should I address you? Daisy Zane nced at him and said nothing. Marsh Turner hesitated before asking again, Are you Daisys friend? Did Daisy know that they were looking for her, so she sent you to take care of it? Daisy Zane removed the school uniform jacket, crouched down by the wall, and took out the box of cigarettes she bought and offered one to Marsh Turner. Marsh Turner didnt hesitate; he took one and then took a lighter from his pocket. Daisy Zane nced at his expensive lighter and offered a cigarette to William Butch, who shook his head and quietly said, I dont know how.
After lighting his cigarette, Marsh Turner crouched down next to Daisy Zane. He exhaled a puff of smoke,pletely forgetting that there was someone in a school uniform nearby, and asked, Big Brother, how long have you known Daisy? Are you Daisys bodyguard? Daisy Zane fondled the cigarette box in her hand, finding it hard to resist the urge to smoke. Marsh Turner said, She should really hire some bodyguards. Daisy is so beautiful and a celebrity. There must be plenty of people who have their sights on her or would want to ruin her. Like todays incident, if Daisy encountered it herself, she wouldnt be able to fight back with her slender arms and legs. Daisy Zane: Marsh Turner clicked his tongue worriedly, Are you the only one? She should hire more people. Nowadays, some fans are crazy and scary. William Butch listened to their conversation, or more urately, Marsh Turners monologue. He leaned against the wall on the other side and listened quietly. Sigh. I thought it was some crazy fan, but it turns out this was orchestrated by someone. Whos so malicious and scheming? Even giving out cash so it cant be traced. Marsh Turner didnt mind the silence beside him. After all, Big Brothers are supposed to be stoic. Thats what makes them cool. When Daisy asked me earlier today, I was afraid to scare her, so I didnt tell her that there were people outside looking for her. You dont need to tell her either. Young girls are fragile; you dont want to scare her, Marsh Turner said. Daisy Zane: Finally, she took a cigarette, removed her mask, put the cigarette in her mouth, and lit it with the lighter she bought for two dors. Marsh Turner exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the person next to him, asking, Big Brother, can I ask you something? Daisy Zane simply took off her hat, inhaled the cigarette, and gently exhaled the smoke. Under the darkness of the night, thin clouds of smoke slowly floated away. She raised her hand to fix her hair that was pressed by the hat and nced at Marsh Turner, speaking in her own voice, What do you want to ask? Marsh Turner looked at the person in front of him, his eyes widening bit by bit, the pupils trembling at the depths. By ident, the cigarette pinched between his fingers dropped onto his more than a hundred thousand-dor sneakers, leaving a ck circle burnt into them. William Butch had been listening with his head lowered, but upon hearing this voice, he raised his head in surprise, looking at the person squatting in front of him. The young face twitched twice due to the extreme shock. It was as if something was suddenly stuck in his throat, making it hard for him to make a sound. Marsh Turner obviously experienced the same situation, unable to utter a single word. Daisy Zane took her gaze off him and spoke softly, Scared? No, no Marsh Turner mechanically replied. Daisy Zane nced at William Butch and said slowly, So in your mind, Im such a weak and helpless person. No, no Marsh Turner mechanically replied again. William Butch met her gaze, and then immediately lowered his head. Daisy Zane looked at him and said, Since endlesspromises cannot bring a stable life, its better to cut losses and choose a different path. William Butch, with his head down, pursed his lips. Daisy Zane looked at Marsh Turner, who still hadnte to his senses, and decided not to bother him anymore. She finished her cigarette, checked the time, and noticed that the lights in the school dormitory were already out. She told the two of them, Im going now, and everything that happened tonight is a secret. Then she left. Marsh Turner didnt react until Daisy Zane had walked away, too overwhelmed by the shock. It was only when William Butch called him again that he finally came to his senses. But by then, Daisy Zane had already walked far away. On the way back to school, Daisy Zane put her hat and mask back on. When she left the school, she sent a message to Kevin rk, telling him she was busy and he didnt need to call her anymore. Kevin rk replied: [Okay, call me when youre done.] So Daisy Zane walked back while calling him. The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered. Daisy Zane asked, Busy? No. Kevin rk spoke warmly, Where are you? Its lights out now, right? Daisy Zane didnt hide the truth, and directly replied, Ill be back at school in five minutes. Kevin rk: You went out? Yes. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane heard his silent silence andughed. Little girl, Im a bit unhappy. Hmm? You went out without seeing me. Daisy Zane: And you definitely met someone else. Daisy Zane: How about I pick you up, and you dont go back tonight? His words sounded like he wanted to make her feel guilty first before making his request. Unfortunately his n was exposed, and Daisy Zane didnt take the bait, even turning the tables, Not going back Do you want to sleep holding me? Kevin rk suddenly fell silent. The corner of Daisy Zanes mouth curled up under the mask, and she spoke casually, Or do you want to do something else? Alluding to something else made Kevin rks breathing heavier. They both fell silent for two seconds, and Daisy Zane heard footsteps and the sound of an opening door through the phone. She spoke up in time, Third Master just think about it. Im at school now, Im hanging up. With that, she hung up the phone and continued her leisurely walk. She felt that Kevin rk had seriously considereding to pick her up just now. Kevin rks message came through quickly, and she could feel the fierceness in the words even through the screen: [Little girl. Just a reminder, its best to cancel all ns for next week.] Looking at the message, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, thinking: Why should I cancel all of my ns?

Trantor:549690339 Before entering the school, Daisy Zane made a call to Holt Lawrence, asking him to check if she had been captured by surveince cameras along the path she had just taken. And also the surveince of her scaling the schools wall.
Used to her constant vignce, especially now that she is under the public eye, every move of hers could be amplified limitlessly. She wasnt afraid, just found it bothersome. If one problem could be reduced, then so be it. Naturally, Holt Lawrence agreed readily. However, after Daisy Zane returned to the dormitory, went to wash and rinse in secret, and quietly came back to bed, she discovered a message from Holt Lawrence sent about ten minutes ago. [Theres something weird. I just checked the surveince that captured you and didnt touch it. Someone hacked it before me.] Daisy Zane: [?] Holt Lawrence: [The skills are decent, took me some time to bypass him. This person used aputer in a ck inte cafe to hack the surveince. By the time I checked, theputer was just logged off.] Daisy Zane: [You mean, you couldnt find any useful information?] Holt Lawrence: [The other party is too cautious, leaving nothing behind. If it wasnt for the good skills, all the temporary data, seems like a beginner hacker trying to test his hand at hacking surveince.] Daisy Zane: [A beginner that stillmands your time.]
[ Dont make fun of me. Is this an acquaintance of yours? I specially checked, he just hacked the surveince. Seems like he did it to protect you.] Daisy Zane: [I dont know, no impression.] [ I wanted to say, if its an acquaintance of yours, quickly introduce him to Celestial Pivot. With these skills, I can open the backdoor for him. Prevent the meat from overflowing to outsiders.] Daisy Zane: [I dont know him, Im going to sleep.] Upon saying this, Daisy Zane turned off her mobile phone andid down. She thought for a while about who it might be in her head, but could not think of anyone, so she slept. The Celestial Pivots assessment runs on Wednesday from zero oclock to 23:59. During this time, your start time is not restricted. As long as its within this time frame, you can answer the questions whenever you want. If you have confidence to pass the assessment, no one cares if you start answering the questions at 23:00.
This year, because Nathan Ninevara participated in the test formtion, the number of people participating in the assessment exploded. Holt Lawrence sat in front of theputer, dropping a few goji berries in his thermos cup. Watching the increasing numbers of participants on the screen, he let out a sigh of marvel. The number of people is already twice as much as thest batch. Nathan Ninevaras reputation Truly well-deserved. Daisy Zane never cared about the assessment, so she didnt pay any attention to it. Upon waking from sleep, she went straight to ss. Mornings went as usual, doing assignments, going through assignments Once ss was over, Marsh Turner came over to chat with a few other boys. Moreover, his view of Daisy Zane changed. In the past, he admired Daisy Zane, but after one night, it has now be admiration. In his mind, the image of a weak and helpless person suddenly surged, powerful and brave, indifferent, seemingly worldly, yet hiding tremendous potential and strength.
Its the new season, Marsh, are we ying ranked tonight? One of the boys asked. Marsh Turner, who didnt get a good nights rest the night before due to being startled by Daisy Zane, was only supported by a single thread of energy, Is Amelie Quentin ying? Amelie Quentin was ying a single-yer game and casually replied without lifting her head, I have to stay in the dorm, no time. Marsh Turner, whose mind seemed a bit foggy, asked a simr question to Kana Davis who lived in the dormitory after asking Amelie Quentin, Kana, do you y games? Im terrific, I can carry you. Daisy Zane mimicked Amelie Quentins tone and said, Residing in the dorm, no time. Amelie Quentin: Marsh Turner smiled, Kana, your new show blew up again. When I got home yesterday evening, I saw my mom crying while watching your TV series in the living room, saying that the female lead has such a tough life. Thats right, William Butch also said, I opened my Facebook and saw two kinds of voices. One type was praising how good the TV series is and your acting. The other type was urging for more updates. Yeah, the broadcaster even crashed for two minutes yesterday. Because when it was time for the show to air, an influx of people caused it to crash. Daisy Zane raised the corners of her lips slightly, not too concerned about the TV series, instead saying, Does William Butch y games? With his back to them, William Butch suddenly stiffened. Turner Daniel and Olivia Lane first nced at Daisy Zane, then both turned their attention to William Butch. The rest of the people looked at William Butchs back. After two seconds, Marsh Turner reacted, saying, William Butch, its almost a month since the start of school, we havent exchanged contact information, right? Lets add each other. Ill y the game with you, sweeping across the gorge. After Marsh Turner finished speaking, William Butch paused for two seconds before stuttering, I, I am not good at gaming. As he spoke, Marsh Turner breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, No problem, Im here. Lets exchange contact information first. As he said this, Marsh Turner took out his cell phone first. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane subtly raised her eyebrows. This situation was better than imagined, at least there was a line ofmunication. William Butch thought that Marsh Turner was only being polite, but he actually put his cell phone on his desk wanting his contact information. Seeing his phone, William Butch paused for a while before taking out his own cell phone and adding his contact information. The morning passed uneventfully. But in the afternoon, not long after first period had begun, there was a suddenmotion in the corridor. The first ss was Math, and Skyler Thomas was enthusiastically absorbed in teaching from the podium. However, nearly half of the students below could not rouse their spirits and were slumping, listless. But upon hearing the noise outside, their heads were all simultaneously raised like flowers watered with nectar, all looking outside. Just as the gossip was sparked, the door of the ssroom was abruptly kicked open. The students who were attentively listening to the ss were startled, some scared into yelling. Even Skyler Thomas was startled. The chalk that was on the ckboard suddenly traced a parab. She looked at the entrance in shock and, without thinking, put herself in between the person responsible and the ssroom. Daisy Zane watched the parab drawn by Skyler Thomas and turned her eyes to the door. At the same time, she raised her hand to rub Olivia Lanes head,forting her startled little heart. There were approximately eight or nine individuals outside the ssroom. Both men and women, almost all of them were around forty-five or older. Among them, three were principals and teachers trying to resist the several infuriated individuals. May I ask whats the matter? Skyler Thomas asked towards the principal whose forehead was beaded with sweat. Wheres Marsh Turner?! We are looking for him! One of the women said. Yes, were looking for him! Hearing this name, more than half of the students turned their heads to look at Marsh Turner. Marsh Turner had a bewildered look on his face. When the students turned around, the people at the entrance immediately recognized Marsh Turner and stepped forward to walk into the ssroom. Skyler Thomas immediately stood in front of them, and the teachers along with the principal also stopped them. Skyler Thomas said, He is my student, tell me whats the matter. Tell you! What could we tell you! He hit my son! My son is still lying in the hospital! By telling you, can my son get better right away? Yes, my son is also at the hospital. How do you teach? What kind of students do you teach! Besides fighting, what else can he do! If I were you, I would be too ashamed to stand at the podium. Get out of the way! Let him out! So what! Does he think he can get away with hitting my son! George Dunn turned his head to look at Marsh Turner, paused for a while and asked, Who did you fight with? Did you cause a serious injury? Its created quite a fuss. Marsh Turner looked at the several parents in front. One or two of them seemed familiar, probably the parents of a few boys from ss 8. The fight didnt involve him, but it was impossible for him to bring up Daisy Zanes name: I had a bit of a dispute. George Dunn was a bit confused, murmuring to himself, Why is it being blown out of proportion, it shouldnt be this way. Marsh Turners family background was well-known here, theoretically the matter shouldnt have escted like this. The few parents were very emotional, they were trying to rush into the room while arguing. Skyler Thomas forcefully stopped them, saying, If he really did get into a fight, the school will give everyone a satisfactory exnation. Please calm down and let us understand the situation first. Calm down, how do we calm down. The woman in front suddenly pushed Skyler Thomas, If your child was hit, would you be able to calm down? Skyler Thomas was pushed, her back hit the desk behind her which was pushed away. Thankfully, the girl behind her swiftly helped her, preventing her from falling to the ground. When Skyler Thomas was pushed, more than half of the students in the ss stood up. Especially the boys, all of them stood behind Skyler Thomas. Helping Skyler Thomas and confronting the parents. It seemed as though if they dared toy their hands on Skyler Thomas again, they would retaliate. Chapter 338 - 314 The Hobson Family Gets Involved Chapter 338: Chapter 314 The Hobson Family Gets Involved Trantor: 549690339 Director Nash was watching the ss through the monitor and was initially a bit confused. However, seeing so many students suddenly stand up, he quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, Pause the recording of ss 16s program, turn off the video equipment, and turn off everyones mics. The shooting director, who was outside the corridor, heard this and stepped back, asking, Turn them all off? Should we leave one on to record the evidence? No need, in case theres a conflict, its not good for the students, Director Nash replied, their ssroom has its CCTV camera. We shouldnt interfere, and the school probably doesnt want us to intervene either. You guys should also try to withdraw as soon as possible. The shooting director agreed, Okay. Daisy Zane and the others also immediately received the message. After reading the message on her cell phone, Daisy Zane turned off her mic. At the same time, Turner Daniel also turned off his mic. Celeste Martin nced over at them as well. Skyler Thomas held her waist in pain, as the collision left her legs slightly weakened, I said I would give you an exnation, but if you want to forcefully take someone from my ss, Im telling you, theres no way. Marsh Turner moved past the students standing behind Skyler Thomas, pinching her shoulder, Why are you pushing my teacher for my sake? Skyler, lets go have our injuries examined and sue themter. Sue us? Were going to sue you! Skyler Thomas backed up and blocked Marsh Turner, You go back first, Ill handle it. How are you going to handle it? Are you covering for him? The parent said, This brat bullies people because of his powerful family background. Did you take any benefits from his family to protect him like this? Whats wrong with having a good family background? Can people with good family backgrounds just randomly hurt others? Is there now anymore? Another parent said, Under the emperors feet, who would dare to be arrogant! And you as the teacher, Ive heard that you taught a ss of underachievers. Every one of them has poor grades andcks quality Another parent said, A teacher like you will only bring out students like them. Theres no need for such a ss to exist when all the names have to be found at the bottom of the schools academic list. Its simply a waste of educational resources. If they have money, they should just go back home and inherit their family business instead ofing to school and stirring up trouble! ss 8s homeroom teacher, who had been standing at the entrance wearing a mask, slightly raised the corners of his mouth under the mask when he heard this. Then the ssroom suddenly became lively, with voices of rebuttal. The male students standing behind Skyler Thomas were all ready to charge forward. But they were stopped by Skyler Thomas and her small frame. She spotted the ss cup on the desk behind her, picked it up, and smashed it hard on the podium. The ss cup shattered with a loud crash, and shards of ss flew everywhere. However, because of the podium, the students on both sides were far away, so no one was hurt. It was just that the sound was so loud that it scared everyone. The ssroom full of students, those few parents who kept bickering, and even the principal who had been trying to mediate were all startled. Immediately, the ssroom quieted down. Skyler Thomas, trembling with anger, red at the parents and yelled, If youre here to solve the problem, then sit down and talk properly. If not, please leave! If I hear any of you say another word about my students, Im telling you, this matter is far from over! Daisy Zane slightly raised her eyebrows. The entire ssroom was silent, and the students were even breathing lightly. Marsh Turner, standing next to Skyler Thomas, opened his eyes wide in admiration at her astounding appearance. He smirked, but considering the situation, quickly suppressed it. Taking advantage of the moment, the principal immediately calmed the parents and said, Lets go to the office to talk, lets go to the office. Marsh Turner, Skyler,e too. Lets have Marsh Turners parentse as well. We will discuss and solve the problems together, but everyone needs to stay calm. It was unclear if the parents were frightened by Skyler Thomas or realized they had crossed the line, but they didnt say anything else. They red at Marsh Turner and followed the principal out. Skyler Thomas, still holding her waist, turned around and said, Everyone, go back and sit down. Start studying. She flinched in pain, I know you all are angry, but please be quiet during self-study. I will go avenge you. Marsh Turner, supporting her, asked with a smile, Are you alright? Get lost! And stopughing! Skyler Thomas snapped angrily, Help me walk, and exin what happened while we walk. Alright. You all go ahead, I dont have any sses, so Ill stay here and watch. The subject teacher said. After they left, the ssroom quieted down. Everyone was holding their breath, but since Skyler Thomas just protected them, they didnt want to cause any trouble at this time, so they all obediently remained silent. Meanwhile, the program team outside called for those recording the show to leave. Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane and said, Were off work early. Olivia Lane didnt say anything and just looked at her. Daisy Zane stood up and said, If you dont leave, at least go back to the dorm in the evening. Olivia Lane averted her gaze and moved her chair forward a bit. As Daisy Zane was about to leave, William Butch suddenly turned to look at her. Daisy Zane stopped in her tracks and looked back at him. Because of his unprecedented action, both Olivia Lane and Turner Daniel, who were waiting for Daisy Zane to leave together, had looks of surprise on their faces. The injuries on Williams face were still severe, with no signs of swelling going down, but rather a little purple and green. He nced at Daisy Zane, then hurriedly lowered his head. His lips moved several times before he said, Because, because of me. Daisy Zane looked at him without saying a word. As William Butch didnt hear her say anything, he hesitated for a while before saying, I need, I He seemed to have made a great determination before he stammered out, I can, can, can, stand up for you. If he stood up to testify, the injuries on his face would serve as the best evidence, leaving no chance for a counterattack. Daisy Zane looked at him, genuinely curious. Having been beaten for so many years, she kept quiet and never reported it to the police. But now that she thinks someone else is in trouble because of her, she suddenly bes brave. Its not because of you, Daisy Zane said softly. Its Marsh Turners bad luck. She was the one who beat the guy, but she covered it up well. Marsh Turner, on the other hand, showed his face and became the scapegoat. Olivia Lane, Turner Daniel, and some of the students around them listened to their conversation nkly. Daisy Zane paused and added, If needed, Ill call you. William Butch nodded gently. Daisy Zane and Turner Daniel walked together out of the ssroom. As they reached the doorway, she overheard two girls at the table near the door whispering to each other, Did you see the news online? Are the Hobsons done for? Another girl whispered resentfully, If this is true, theyre definitely done for. No matter how powerful the Hobson family is, or how crafty Allonzo Hobson is, theyll be finished. They beat someone so brutally, its too cruel. Daisy Zane stepped out of the ssroom. George Dunn, Celeste Martin, and some staff were waiting outside. When everyone had assembled, they led them out. As they walked, Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and looked at the hot searches on Facebook. Of the top ten searches, two were rted to the Hobson family, three to Allonzo Hobson, and one to Phoebe Turner. Daisy Zane clicked on the highest trending topic: [The Hobsons bully others with their power.] The content inside read: [Marsh Turner, the son of the Turner family, takes advantage of the Hobsons influence to beat up his schoolmates, putting their lives at risk.] Nine pictures apanied the post, the first three of which showed a male student lying in a hospital bed. The fourth picture was the diagnosis certificate for the boy. The diagnosis stated that the boy had multiple contusions, a dislocated wrist, and two broken ribs. Even though the boys face was blurred, the censorship wasnt thick, so one could barely make out that he was the one who tried to stab Daisy Zane with a spring knifest night. Daisy Zane remembered that Marsh Turner had called him James Butch. The remaining five pictures were of five different male students, each with distinct bruises on their bodies. Some had bruised ribs, some had bruised arms, and some had bruised backs. All of these were Daisy Zanes handiwork. Daisy Zane didnt read thements but clicked on a few more search topics about Allonzo Hobson and Phoebe Turner. Events that had been rified 800 years ago were being criticized again. The Hobson family was a giant in the entertainment industry, and Allonzo Hobson had a high-profile style and often appeared in the media. Phoebe Turner was also a Best Actress. Any news about the Hobson family would undoubtedly be a major event in the entertainment industry. Daisy Zane didnt expect that the search topics about the Hobson family mentioned Marsh Turners situation as well. Phoebe Turner, Marsh Turner Daisy Zane asked George Dunn, who was beside her, Marsh Turner is Allonzos Cousin, replied George. Didnt you know? No one told her, so she had no idea. Daisy Zane took a deep breath. Things had gotten way out of hand. Not only did Marsh Turner end up being the scapegoat, but also the entire Hobson family was affected. George Dunn nced at her phone screen and whispered, Someone is using public opinion to put pressure on the Hobson family. Daisy Zane turned off her phone and raised her eyebrows slightly. She initially wanted to handle things privately, but since itse to this point she couldnt be med anymore. Chapter 339 - 315: Our Side Chapter 339: Chapter 315: Our Side Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane left School and called Austin Allen first, asking him toe over when he had time. Then she borrowed aputer from Director Nash, searched for the information she wanted, and put it on her phone. While waiting for Austin to arrive in the car, Turner Daniel and George Dunn bought food and drinks for everyone. Recording of the 15th ss continued, and Director Nash was still focused on the filming. The staff who had been following the 16th ss all gathered and started chatting. Daisy Zane grabbed a drink and didnt join them, just sitting quietly and listening. After chatting with them for about two minutes, Celeste Martin was called away by Director Nash. He asked her to take the shooting director to the art building. Since they didnt have anything else to shoot, they wanted to capture more footage of Celeste teaching students how to y the Pipa. Before Celeste left, she asked if the other three wanted to go with her, but Daisy Zane didnt respond. George Dunn and Turner Daniel were very resistant. They never wanted to touch Pipa again in their lives. George Dunns fingers were blistered from ying for just half a dayst time. Almost twenty minutes after Celeste left, Austin arrived. Daisy Zane told the director and then left directly. As George and Turner watched her leave, they exchanged puzzled nces. Daisy Zane went to the School entrance to pick up Austin and found out that not only had Austine, but Joseph Allen hade as well. The brothers leaned against the car. Joseph wore an ancient-style suit, while Austin was dressed in a ck suit, still wearing gold-rimmed sses. They looked simr in appearance and temperament, gentle as jade. Joseph noticed Daisy Zane as soon as she walked out of the School. When he saw her in a school uniform, he paused for a moment and then started tough. Austin had been looking down at his phone all the time. He nced up at the entrance, saw a Girl in a school uniforming out, didnt pay much attention, and then looked back down at his phone. After staring at the screen for two seconds, he suddenly looked up again at the person walking towards him. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating. Then, as Daisy Zane approached, he heard Austin whisper in amazement, Holy shit? Joseph looked at him for a nce. Austin coughed lightly, stood up straight, and said, Lucia, this this are you filming here? Recording a show, replied Daisy Zane nonchntly. You you look like a minor, Austin stuttered, his mind going nk. Daisy Zane: Joseph smiled. Ignoring Austin, Daisy Zane looked at Joseph. Her cold face softened slightly. Smiling, Joseph said gently, I was just with him, so I came over. Why? Been bullied? No, Daisy Zane didnt hide it from him, I hit someone and let someone else take the me. Austin: The smile on Josephs face deepened. He had never seen Daisy Zane fight, but he knew she wasnt simple. Because he knew she had scars. The one on her corbone looked like a scratch mark from arge animal, as if it was the result of a fight. He also knew she had a tattoo on her back shoulder. So every garment designed for Daisy Zane would cleverly cover these two areas. Up to now, all of Josephs designs still had this little feature. Even many clothes, haute couture dresses, Daisy Zane didnt wear. But he still maintained the habit. This led to some celebrities, artists and madams even wanting to wear Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts had to have not only money but also fate. This fate was whether or not the size was suitable and whether they could wear it. Daisy Zane went to the print shop across from the School, printed out everything she needed, and returned to the dormitory before going to the Principals Office with Austin and Joseph. However, when they reached the floor of the office, the three of them turned a corner and ran into several acquaintances. These acquaintances also looked over after hearing footsteps. For a moment, both groups stared at each other across the two-meter distance, and neither side spoke. Two secondster, Marsh Turner was the first to speak, Daisy, how did you get here? Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered in acknowledgment, her gaze shifting from Marsh Turner to Xavier Dominic, and then onto the two slightly older-looking people. They seemed to be Marsh Turners parents. Finally, her gaze stopped at the seemingly calm, detached, almost inspection-like figure of Arthur North. As soon as Daisy Zane rounded the corner, Arthurs gaze fell directly on her. Chapter 340 - 315: Our Side_2 Chapter 340: Chapter 315: Our Side_2 Trantor: 549690339 After she looked at everyone, she also looked at Austin and Joseph. Then the three words Wild Man floated through her mind. Mr. and Mrs. Turner looked at Austin, their hearts sinking for a moment, their first thought was that the other party had actually brought in Austin, the topwyer. Do they still have a chance of winning? Or do they need to give money to settle the matter privately? Mr. Turner looked at Marsh Turner and red at him. This little bastard, causing trouble, if he had known 18 years ago when he was still just a cell, he should have killed him. Isnt their world as a couple good enough? Why bring such an ancestor to trouble themselves? Daisy. Marsh Turner stepped in front of Daisy Zane and nced at the two people beside her before whispering, Why did youe here? You dont have to worry about this, I have a way to solve it, there wont be any problems. Dont worry, dont get you in trouble Before Marsh Turner finished speaking, he saw a shadow out of the corner of his eye, and then he saw Daisy Zane being pulled away. He frowned and turned to look. Arthur Norths deep, stern eyes met his, and he stumbled to the side with a start, Th-Third Master. Arthur North nced at the boy who was talking so close to him and wrapped Daisy Zanes hand in his palm, looking down at the little girl next to him. Daisy Zane looked up at him and raised her eyebrows, Third Master, what a coincidence. Arthur North snorted lightly, Yes, quite a coincidence. Joseph looked at the two of them andughed quietly. At this time, Mr. Turner stepped forward and shook hands with Austin and Joseph first, Mr. Allen, Lawyer Allen. Mr. Turner. Austin and Joseph also courteously returned the greeting, Mrs. Turner. Marsh Turner was scared by Arthur North, while Mr. and Mrs. Turner were scared by Austin. They didnt even notice Arthur North and Daisy Zane holding hands together. Subconsciously, they thought Daisy Zane had brought Austin here for the boys in ss 8. Lady Zane Marsh Turner really shouldnt have used violence, because violence should never be used. But since the incident has happened, we willpensate for any losses. Mr. Turner let go of his pride for his son and kindly said, Let Lawyer Allen be a witness and make apensation. We will definitely doublepensate. This meant that they didnt want Austin to take action. Mrs. Turner had just be a fan of Daisy Zanest night, but she didnt expect to face her idols wrath today. She also softly said, Yes. All the medical expenses and mental loss fees will be doubled. Please, consider Marsh Turners young age and lets settle this privately. We, the couple, and Marsh Turner can apologize to each family. The Turner family, although rted to the Hobson Family, had already involved the Hobson family in this matter. The couple felt very sorry. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Mr. Turner has seen his sister struggle step by step. He is well aware of how important reputation is to his sister. So they wanted to keep the Hobson family out of this as much as possible. They didnt want the Hobson family to get too involved. Its best if they could solve it themselves. After all, its their own son; they cant let him bear the name of a viin at such a young age And the biggest problem is that Austin is here Its feared that even if the Hobson family or the rk family intervene, it will be troublesome all the same. Beingpletely clean is one thing, but using power to suppress it without rity is another. The Hobson family lives under the public eye and is greatly influenced by public opinion. Once tainted, people wont ept it, and the losses will be heavy. This is also why the hot search has been up for so long and hasnt been removed. Because to remove it, it must be removed cleanly and fairly without me. So whether its for the Hobson family, for their sister, or for Marsh Turner, the couple chose to lower their heads. Allonzo Hobson, listening to the two of them, suddenlyughed, then walked over to Mr. and Mrs. Turner and said,Uncle, auntie, do you think theres a possibility that Lawyer Allen is on our side? Huh? Mrs. Turner looked nk. Mr. Turner hesitated for a moment, looked at Allonzo Hobson, then at Daisy Zane. His mouth twitched twice and said, What? Allonzo Hobsonughed, Daisy family. Arthur North looked at him and said coldly, Stop trying to get close. Allonzo Hobson shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Mr. Turner still didnt quite dare to believe it and looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at him calmly and said, This has nothing to do with Marsh Turner. I hit those people. Arthur North looked at her. Allonzo Hobsons face twitched. Mr. and Mrs. Turner: !!! Daisy Zane didnt pay attention to them and continued, Marsh Turner took the me for me. Daisy, Im the one who broke James Butchs rib. Marsh Turner said. Daisy Zane nced at him and then at Allonzo Hobson, The Hobson family is implicated in this. Allonzo Hobson immediately responded,ughing nonchntly, Its a small matter, what does it matter. Daisy Zane looked at Marsh Turners parents and paused before saying, Im sorry for implicating Marsh Turner. Ill handle this matter properly. Her voice was cold, but the sincerity could be heard. Arthur North held her hand and tightened his grip a little. His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand. Austin and Joseph both looked at her but said nothing. No, Daisy, Marsh Turner hurriedly said, I really did hit James Butch. It has nothing to do with you. Allonzo Hobson was startled by her apology, Lucia, like I said, were family. No need for courtesies. Daisy Zane looked at him and said, Arthur North said not to pretend to be close. Allonzo Hobson: A hint of amusement appeared in Arthur Norths eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Turner also quickly reacted, Since Allonzos friend, there is no need for these courtesies. And Marsh Turner has also taken responsibility. Chapter 341 - 316: I am Her Parent Chapter 341: Chapter 316: I am Her Parent Trantor: 549690339 When the Hobsons were trending online, Allonzo Hobson looked into who had posted the message. However, after Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson arrived, it was discovered that the instigator the Butch family was not among these parents. So Allonzo Hobsonid it out for the parents: Bring the Butches over, or theres no point in resolving this. Its just a trending topic, the Hobsons and the Turners can afford it. While waiting for the Butch family to arrive, they all retreated outside the office. To avoid the headache of the cacophonous parents, only Skyler Thomas stayed behind to negotiate and appease the parents. On the way, Skyler Thomas had already gotten a rough idea from Marsh Turner. Marsh Turner mentioned nothing about Daisy Zane, only that they had bullied William Butch. Skyler Thomas understood, but what she could do was limited; after all, William Butch was very fragile, and a testimony from him was highly unlikely, given the requirement for evidence. All she could do was dy the proceedings and counsel the parents. James Butchs parents arrived quickly, before Austin Allen could fully grasp the information in Daisy Zanes possession. But Daisy Zane always cooperated well with him. Whatever she could throw, he could catch. With the arrival of the Butch family, everyone proceeded to the office. Daisy Zane followed behind Allonzo Hobson and the Turner family. As she was about to step through the entrance, Austin Allen stopped her: Lucia, give me an idea of the extent were dealing with here. Hearing him speak, everyone stopped in their tracks, then heard Daisy Zane respond impassively, I dont intend to keep it private. And theyre all of legal age. Her soft-spoken words sent shockwaves through everyone. That they were all of age meant they could be criminally convicted. Daisy Zane did not intend to leave them any way out. The Turner couple, meeting her for the first time, didnt expect her to be so ruthless. And Marsh Turner was stunned too. His understanding of Daisy Zane was far too one-sided. But the others were evidently used to this side of her. Austin Allen smiled, Alright, understood. They all entered the office. The spacious office suddenly felt crowded. The principal hadnt expected so many people to converge and was taken aback for a moment. The Butches made a big fuss online, but were quite polite in person, greeting with smiles, Young Master Hobson, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Turner. But Allonzo Hobson merely nced at them, paying no heed. Instead, he saw the Turner couple, as well as Kevin rk and Daisy Zane, to their seats. He didnt bother with the others, just ensuring all his own people had seats. Skyler Thomas saw one high-status figure after another, and her fighting spirit evaporated. Allonzo Hobson, Joseph Allen, Austin Allen! These were all individuals she couldnt afford to offend, let alone possibly meet. So she moved aside. Daisy Zane then pulled a seat for her, seating her next to herself. Skyler Thomas had no choice but to grit her teeth and sit down. Daisy Zane introduced her to Kevin rk, This is my homeroom teacher, Skyler Thomas. Kevin rk nodded with a smile, Nice to meet you. Skyler Thomas looked at Kevin rk, feeling somewhat short of breath. Of all these people, he was the only man she had not met or been introduced to. Yet, he appeared more noble than anyone else present. She could feel the respect Allonzo Hobson and Joseph Allen had for this man. And wasnt he also incredibly good-looking. Could a mortal really bear such a handsome appearance? It was a while before Skyler Thomas got her breath back and said, HHello. No sooner had she finished speaking, Kevin rk said, Ms. Skyler Thomas. I am her parent. If she has any academic problems, you canmunicate with me. What? Skyler looked dumbfounded. Daisy Zane gave Kevin rk a cold look, her eyes holding a chill before she said, Thank you, Uncle rk, for caring about my studies. Kevin rk performed a disappearing act with his smile: The Principals office wasrge, with a conference table set up in the middle. This conference table was an old one from the next-door conference room that wasnt needed. Given the spacious office and the fact that the table was just a bit dated but not damaged, it had been kept after it was reced. Little did they expect that it woulde in handy today. It had be the negotiation table. The Principal even started to question whether the cement of this table was unlucky, causing him to deal with such a major issue. After everyone took their seats, Allonzo Hobson cut right to the chase saying, Lets hear it. How are you going topensate the Hobsons, the Turners, my mother, and my personal reputation for the damage done. The Hobsons, who had just found chairs and were about to sit down, looked bewildered: ??? People: ??? Daisy Zane let out a softugh. Kevin rk squeezed her hand and seeing herugh, he too let out a smile. The parents of the remaining five families had been incited by the Butches toe here, following the Butches orders. Now that the Butches were here, they instantly became the quiet ones, with everyone looking to the Butches for cues. Henry Horton hadnt anticipated that Allonzo Hobson would say such a thing. He chuckled, Young Master Hobson, afraid youve got it mixed up. My son is the one hospitalized. Shouldnt the Hobsons and the Turners give me an exnation? Just as Mr. Turner was about to respond, Allonzo Hobson patted his hand under the table, signaling him not to worry, he had it. What has your sons hospitalization got to do with us? Isnt it his just deserts? Mrs. Butch said, Young Master Hobson, isnt that a bit too harsh? What do you mean, his just deserts? Hes engaged in school bullying, so he deserves it. Allonzo Hobson had already gotten an idea of the situation from Marsh Turner. He knew his younger brother best, and he would never hit someone without a reason. What evidence do you have that hes engaged in school bullying? James Butchs father interjected, He was beaten so badly, it seems hes the one being bullied. Young Master Hobson, you better not nder people! The Butches were counting on the fact that the Hobsons, as a family involved in the entertainment industry, greatly valued their reputation. Thats why they stirred up public opinion, hoping to restrain the Hobsons with the power of the online public, while they concentrated their firepower on the Turners. As long as they took down the Turner family, the fact that James Butch was beaten would stand. They would be the victims. The Hobsons, under public pressure, would then hesitate, even if they retaliatedter, not daring to do it openly. Moreover, any future crisis for the Butches would lead everyone to suspect that the Hobsons were pulling the strings. Believing that the Hobsons would be swayed by public opinion and wouldnt dare to do anything to them, gave the Butches the audacity to act as they did. But they were naive, thinking everyone else was as foolish as them. The Hobsons had been in the entertainment industry for so long; taking them on with these tactics was asking for trouble. Hearing their conversation, Daisy Zane tossed her cell phone onto the table. The sound of the impact drew everyones attention to her. Skyler Thomas, sitting next to her, was startled. Daisy Zane stated, Evidence. After she spoke, she turned her gaze toward the Butch couple. Her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with coldness, Not only the evidence of his bullying, but also of his long-term bullying. Its all in here. Chapter 342 - 317: Watching the Bustle, Unfolding On Oneself Chapter 342: Chapter 317: Watching the Bustle, Unfolding On Oneself Trantor: 549690339 The cell phone was thrown on the table, all eyes were on it, no one spoke. Then under everyones gaze, Daisy Zane picked up the phone again, unlocked it, and connected it to the projector on the table. She yed a video. It was a surveince video, a bit blurry, but it didnt interfere with identifying the people. The date at the top left showed it was from two years ago in May. Even across the screen, one could feel the force, the brutality every time a punch or kicknded. The video thatsted less than three minutes ended. Daisy Zane yed another one. It was also a surveince video, but fromst year. Both videos were found by Holt Lawrence during his investigation of William Butch. The same perpetrators were still there, only this time the person being beaten was not lying on the ground but sitting on it. At the start, he was covering his head with his hands, burying his face between his knees. But then he was forced to raise his head by James Butch grabbing his hair. Even though his face is blurred after the head is lifted, it can still be clearly seen that James Butch pped him several times. The video was silent, yet everyone there seemed to hear the ps. Skyler Thomas watched, her hands on her thighs tightly clenching, her eyes instantly reddening. She knew, of course, the person being beaten was William Butch. Just by looking at his physique, William Butch then was even smaller, thinner than he is now. The entire office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Daisy Zane looked at the parents across the table and said coldly, See for yourselves whose children they are. The parents who had just caused the most ruckus were now not just quiet, they wished they could disappear on the spot. Their children might return home with bruises, but generally, nothing serious ever happened. But now, not only could they take no advantage, but they could also get into trouble. Mr. and Mrs. Butch watched the video. After it finished and a while passed, Mrs. Butch tugged at the sleeve of Mr. Butch. Mr. Butch turned directly to Daisy Zane, ring at her with a murderous look on his face: Who are you? What does all this have to do with you? These videos are old, why bring them out now? When children are little, there are inevitably some frictions, and small fights are amon urrence. Besides, what we are discussing now is my son getting beaten, what purpose does it serve to y these videos? What significance does it have! Does showing these videos conceal the fact that my son was seriously injured by Marsh Turner?! Was Marsh Turner the one being beaten in these videos! If the person being beaten in the video was Marsh Turner, do you think you would still see your son? Mr. Turner said coldly. Marsh Turner looked at his father quite moved, only to receive a re in response. Marsh Turner: Daisy Zane looked at Mr. Butch indifferently, saying nothing, only moved her fingers a bit and yed an audio clip. The sound quality in the office was good. So when the sounds of ps came out, they almost seemed to surround everyone, striking their hearts and echoing in their ears. Bitch, didnt I say, dont let me see you in the Mens Restroom, how the fuck did you get in here. Did youe looking for a beating? Cry, cry, cry, thats all you know how to do, youre such a woman. Let me think of a way out for you, be a little gigolo, keep morepany with rich people. Earn more money while youre young, otherwise, when you get old, no one will look at you, hahaha The voice ended, followed by several ps. This was the sound recorded by his own mic in the restroom that day before Daisy Zane kicked the door. She had even intentionally amplified the sound a bit. After the audio finished, Daisy Zane said, This audio is fromst week, whoevers voices these are, recognize them yourselves. Mr. Butchs lips trembled slightly. Daisy Zane spoke first, Want to deny it? You can, go back and drug your son silent, the identification agency will have no way then. Arthur North curled his lips into a smirk. Daisy Zane yed another video. It was taken by the photographer after she had kicked open the bathroom door. Daniel Brown was still blurred; This was also fromst week, taken at the same time as the audio. Mr. Butch, do you have any misconceptions about minor squabbles? Skyler Thomas said, What if those two videos are from the past? Do you want to say your son has reformed? This is fromst week. It really proves the saying, a leopard cant change its spots. You! Mr. Butchs face turned somewhat green, his chest heaving, What does this have to do with Marsh Turner hitting my son! You all shouldnt stray off the main point. My brother was just being a Good Samaritan. Is there something wrong with your head? Skyler Thomas sneered He would act as a Good Samaritan, Mr. Butch said, The one getting beaten wasnt him, why did he meddle! Wow, listen to this, are these even words spoken by a human? Your family has low quality, no kindness. You dont even allow others to do good deeds? Skyler Thomas said in a strange tone, Your son is this way, you have the biggest responsibility! Mr. Butch was so choked up with anger that he was speechless for a while. At this moment, Daisy Zane yed another surveince video, You have no evidence to prove that Marsh Turner hit someone. This is the surveince at the entrance of the alley fromst night. Your son, and someone was following them when they entered the alley. Daisy Zane restored the surveince footage from the dark alley yesterday. The footage showed her following James Butchs group into the alley. She looked at the video and said, Marsh Turner enteredter. So how can you determine that Marsh Turner was the one who hit someone? Because only Marsh Turner showed his face, so the ones framing and ndering are you. The crime of false usation and framing Austin Allen suddenly spoke up in a light voice, In severe cases, one can be sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years, if it causes serious consequences, imprisonment for three to ten years. It was unclear whether Mr. and Mrs. Butch were too focused on Skyler Thomas outburst, or Austin Allen had kept a low profile when he came in. It was then that the Butch Family noticed Austin Allens presence. The instant Mr. Butch saw Austin Allen, Daisy Zane felt like he almost didnt manage to catch his breath and passed out: Au, Austin?! Austin Allen adjusted his sses, showing a professionally polite smile, Mr. Butch, hello. I represent the victim of the bullying. Lets first deal with your matter,ter we will talk about our issue. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Butch was utterly shocked, her eyespletely nk. Mr. Butch suddenly copsed in his chair. The parents faces were also ashen. Skyler Thomas let out a scoffedugh. Daisy Zane nced at them and continued ying the audio. It was recorded in the alley before she started fightingst night, as well as her conversation in a male voice asking Daniel Browns group why they were looking for Daisy Zane. Why are you looking for Daisy Zane? The moment these words were spoken, Arthur Norths casual expression changed. After hearing what Daniel Brown saidter, his expression became increasingly horrified. He was so focused on listening to what Daniel Brown was saying that hepletely ignored Daisy Zanes voice. Arthur North had initiallye today to see Daisy Zane. When Skyler Thomas saw the news online, he was with Arthur North. Knowing that Skyler Thomas was going to school, and since Arthur North had some time, he came along, thinking of seeing Daisy Zane in passing. He came with the mentality of watching themotion, but did not expect themotion would involve himself. All tenderness disappeared from Joseph Allens and Austin Allens faces. The ces in the audio where Daniel Browns name was mentioned were muted, leaving only Daisy Zane, Marsh Turner, and Daniel Browns voices. Daisy Zane said: This audio is from the alleyst night, ording to evidence provided by the informer, it can all prove that Marsh Turner wasnt the one who hit people. When the police get involved, this informant can also cooperate with the police investigation. Mr. Butch, your sons issue is more than just bullying. Chapter 343 - 318: Future Madam Chapter 343: Chapter 318: Future Madam Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane made a clear distinction between herself now and the scenest night when she entered the alley to beat people up and questioned them with a male voice. If the police questioned herter, she would naturally admit that she was the person in the alley. But now, there were so many people She didnt trust the parents across the table. She wouldnt bring trouble upon herself for nothing. So, she only imed to be the informant. Mr. Butch, let me answer your questions, said Daisy Zane, Why am I here? What does this matter have to do with me? Because I am Daisy Zane, the one your son tried to shoot an indecent video of with the help of outsiders. Lawyer Allen, please educate Mr. Butch and everyone else about thew, Kevin rk suddenly said coldly. Austin Allens professional smile disappeared as he spoke slowly, School bullying involving minors carries criminal responsibility. Moreover, all these people are already adults. Let me briefly list the charges against these ssmates: intentional injury, insult, group fighting, provocation, and infringement on Lady Zanes privacy, intentional injury Lawyer Allen, as awyer, do not make groundless usations. Thedy is sitting right here. Where was her privacy vited? Where was the intentional injury? What? Do you want this matter to be investigated further? Kevin rk looked at him. Allonzo Hobson, sitting on the other side of rk, stood up and sat on a chair with Marsh Turner as they were affected by the hostility. Kevin rks aura was overwhelmingly powerful, making the other side freeze instantly. Mr. Butchs teeth chattered under the pressure, but he still forced himself to ask, May I know who you are Third Masters reputation was well-known, but not many people had actually met him. Without answering his question, Kevin rk said, How can you bully my future wife like this? Daisy Zane: All the parents on the other side were first stunned, and then they all took a sharp breath, looking at him in disbelief. The Turner couple also suddenly turned their heads towards them. They were looking at Third Master rks future wife. And Marsh Turners head suddenly turned to Kevin rk, his eyes wide open. What! What! What! Future wife! Whose future wife! Who is the future wife? Allonzo Hobson saw his reaction and pped him on the back of the head, What are you doing? Marsh Turner was speechless looking at Kevin rk. Skyler Thomas looked at Daisy Zane, and her breath was almost gone. Who on earth did she know! Kevin rk continued, You should be grateful that someone stopped themst night. Otherwise how many sons do you have to pay for this loss? Th-Third Master Mr. Butch muttered. Kevin rk ignored him. Austin Allen, seeing that rk had stopped talking, continued, Mr. Butch, whats the hurry? I havent finished speaking. Attempting to shoot an indecent video has already constituted an invasion of privacy and intentional injuries to others. Although unsessful the audio clearly indicates their intentions. How do you know the audio is real? What if they are framing others! Mrs. Butch suddenly said. All the videos and audios here can be authenticated by professional institutions, said Daisy Zane, Of course the police will also ask institutions to confirm. The parents across the table were scared silly, looking at each other. It was the Butch family who said that if they all joined forces, they would not only receivepensation but also avenge their children. The Hobson family would definitely promise them benefits to suppress the news, so they came. But now Seeing that they remained silent, Austin Allen continued, And you parents, ndering and framing Marsh Turner, this is the crime of false usation and framing. My sons injuries are caused by Marsh Turner! Mrs. Butch said, Even if others didnt get beaten by Turner, my sons rib was broken by him! This is a fact! Do you want to deny it? Marsh Turners actions were considered righteous and courageous. When justified defense is constituted, it does not bear criminal responsibility, said Austin Allen, Rest assured, Im just listing them briefly. You can find awyer to defend against all these charges. When ites to court, Ill be more detailed. Oh, right. ording to the informantst night, it was James Butch who wanted to kill, so Marsh Turner stepped in, Daisy Zane said and took something out of her pocket and threw it on the table. The spring knife fromst night, wrapped in ayer of cloth. The sound of metal colliding with the wooden table made the hearts of the Butch couple tremble. Evidence, Daisy Zane said, There are fingerprints on it. How many years would that be? Austin Allen murmured deliberately, One crime is heavier than the other. Mrs. Butch almost fainted on the spot. Mr. Butch stared nkly at the spring knife, his mind empty. Daisy Zane threw the printed files from Joseph Allens hand onto the table, speaking slowly, The evidence of the Butch family spreading news online, buying hot searches, and conspiring with various parents to pit the Hobson and Turner families and causing trouble at the school. The Turner family of three looked at the evidence, and then turned to Daisy Zane. What are they, what are they doing here? They must havee only to watch the excitement, right? The spacious office suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke. Everyone was either looking at Daisy Zane and Kevin rk, or staring at the evidence. After a while, Mr. Butch suddenly spoke up: Miss Zane, could we could we settle this privately, considering the children are still young? Well ept anypensation you want. All the parents looked at her, pleading. What is yourpensation worth? Kevin rk said. Trying to settle private matters with the rks with money, you really have some nerve. Allonzo Hobson sneered, then continued, Besides, saying this, arent you guys embarrassed? Who is young? They have all reached adulthood and can be held legally responsible for their actions. They have been bullying for as long as three years, and even tried to involve my sister. A single sentence about them being children and you want to conclude the matter? Is your child the only child, and others not children? You released the messages online, you were also targeting Marsh Turner, werent you? Young Master Hobson Daisy Zane interrupted him: When the informed person gave me this evidence, I really thought about settling privately. But now that the messages are everywhere, its impossible, isnt it? Her voice was cold, indifferent, unhurried, but every word and every character appeared to have a fierce edge. Skyler Thomas felt an elusive murderous intent beside her. Oh, right. Lawyer Allen might have forgotten to remind you. Daisy Zane looked at them and said, The bullied child is still a minor. When finding a defensewyerter, remember to let him look at the Minor Protection Law. Austin Allen looked at her: That abused child is the real child! Allonzo Hobson said, Why dont you say that hes just a child, and send your own son to take the responsibility?. No one spoke again, and after silence for a while, Mrs. Butch spoke: Who are you to have the final say here! We dont even know who the victim is! Furthermore, how do you know that the child doesnt want to settle privately? Daisy Zane said: Lawyer Allen represents the victim, so do you think he wants to settle privately? We have the right to protect the privacy of the victim. Austin Allen said, Its nailed down and impossible to settle privately now. Allonzo Hobson smiled and said, Dont worry. Ill report the case soon. I wont remove the hot search online, and Im waiting for the polices notice to clear the Hobson familys name. During the investigation, remember topensate for the losses of the Hobson and Turner families. The faces of the parents across turned pale, some looked dazed, and some even cried. Then they began begging Daisy Zane, Allonzo Hobson, and the Turner family. It was a noisy scene. Kevin rk was about to leave with Daisy Zane. But after standing up, Daisy Zane didnt move. Instead, she looked at the parents who had caused trouble in the ss and said, Theres one more thing. You all need to apologize to Teacher Thomas, Marsh Turner, and the 16th ss. Kevin rk looked at her. Skyler Thomas was startled and looked at the parents across. She suddenly felt softhearted. Just as she was about to say forget it, Daisy Zanes hand pressed on her shoulder, telling her not to speak. You should bear the consequences of not educating your children properly. Daisy Zane looked down at her cell phone, sending those videos and audio files to Austin Allen while saying, The parents of the beaten child are angry and heartbroken. Why dont the parents of the abusive child know how to restrain and educate their children? If you dont educate them, someone else will. Skyler Thomas thought of William Butch and instantly stopped feeling softhearted. Verbal abuse is also violence. Daisy Zane put away her cell phone and looked at them, Its best to apologize now, or else be careful that all the sins fall upon your sons. The crying and noises quieted down a bit. Daisy Zane did not avoid saying bluntly: Youd better all behave. Otherwise there are many different kinds of life in prison. I dont need to go into details, do I? With just a gentle word, she threw it out. Although she couldnt interfere with the judicial system, she was definitely capable of taking care of life inside prison. Not only did the parents faces change, but so did those of the three Turners, as well as the principal and Skyler Thomas. Maybe because she was used to acting low-key while wearing a school uniform and at school, the sudden change was too much contrast for people to ept. Especially this kind of seemingly gentle yet ruthless approach. And Kevin rk, standing next to her, clearly had an attitude of being indulged and spoiled. Lets go, Daisy Zane said to Kevin rk. After saying that, Kevin rk led her by the hand and walked out. Miss Zane, Miss Zane, Mr. Butch tried to chase after her. He clearly understood that only if Daisy Zane took a step back, would there have been hope to settle privately. But as soon as he took a step forward, Austin and Joseph, along with Allonzo Hobson, came in his way. Mr. Butch, if your sons not disciplined, dont try to rely on others after causing trouble. Joseph Allen coldly stared, and uttered some harsh words, Begging the victim? What kind of mentality do you have? Have you no shame? Hearing his brother speak like this, Austin Allen almost burst outughing. Allonzo Hobson also widened his eyes and nced at him. Was this the Joseph Allen he knew? Chapter 344: 319: Reminiscing the Past Chapter 344: 319: Reminiscing the Past
Trantor:549690339 Everyone had left the office, leaving only Skyler Thomas and the principal to continueforting the parents. Fearing that some parents might overreact, the principal even called ten security guards to stand by.
Since there are so many of us, lets go out to eat, Xavier Dominic said as he walked out. Its a little past four oclock how long are we going to eat? Austin Allenughed. We can chat first, then eat, said Xavier.Domain. Shouldnt Lucia be recording a show? Joseph Allen asked. Hearing this, Marsh Turners gaze moved from Harton rk and Daisy Zanes intertwined hands to Joseph Allen. The founder of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts called her Lucia, theyre so close! He had thought that Austin and Joseph were here for Harton rk. The recording has been paused, Daisy Zane said. Thats good, Xavier Dominic smiled. Ill report to the police first, and then well find a ce to sit. Let Michael Jackson and Juan Wright handle it, Harton rk said. Xavier Dominic hesitated. Although the Hobson Family and the rk Family were allies, the Hobson Family had its own power. Their own family could have solved this issue without the help of the rk Family.
Using Michael Jackson and Juan Wright meant deploying the power of the rk Family. What would be the consequences? The matter would be ruthlessly resolved, leaving the worst oue for the Butch Family and those involved. He had forgotten that these people had offended Daisy Zane. In case Daisy Zane was a weak and helpless girl, then the abused child might have taken her away. He didnt dare to think about the consequences. Their Third Master would go crazy! Alright, Ill talk to Michael Jackson, he said. Harton rk looked at Austin Allen again: Someone will contact you. Okay. Lets go to Doomsday Hotel. You guys go to the car first, Ill contact Michael Jackson
Before he finished speaking, he caught Harton rk pulling Daisy Zane into an empty ssroom out of the corner of his eye. He then closed the door and locked it. Those who were behind Harton rk suddenly stopped in their tracks and stared at the door. When those in front noticed themotion, they also turned around and followed the others gazes to the door. Xavier Dominic: Marsh Turner: !!! Others: After a few seconds of awkward silence, Xavier Dominic coughed lightly and said, Well, uh long time no see, just reminiscing about old times. Lets go first, lets go. Austin Allen blinked and looked at his brother. Joseph Allen took a deep breath,ughed, and said, Lets go first then. Alright, alright. Mr. Allen, Austin Allen, this way please, Mr. Turner said.
The group continued walking, but Marsh Turner didnt budge as he red at the door. He was in a terrible mood at the moment, having fallen in love for the first time only to be heartbroken after just a few days of unrequited love. What are you doing? Xavier Dominic pped him on the back of the head again. Standing here waiting for Third Master to throw you into a wolfs den? Marsh Turner pursed his lips and didnt say anything. He quickly followed his parents. After he left, Xavier Dominic nced at the ssroom again, chuckled, and left as well. Inside the ssroom, Daisy Zane leaned against the wall. To keep her warm, Harton rk ced his hand under her back. Daisy Zane looked up at Harton rk and raised her eyebrows: Third Master, this is a school. Yeah. Im tempting high school students to fall in love early. Kevin rk said frankly. Daisy Zane: Also tempting her to secretly date at school. Kevin rk leaned in slightly and kissed the corner of her mouth, Three minutes left until ss ends, and students will pass byter. Daisy Zane: Kevin rk looked into her eyes and chuckled softly after a moment, Little girl, are you nervous? Daisy Zane rubbed her fingertips together, and her eyshes trembled slightly: Uncle rk, this is disrespectful. Daisy Zane looked at him speechlessly, andughed softly in her heart before continuing, After meeting my homeroom teacher, you pinned me against the wall. Uncle rk, this parent Daisy Zanes words were cut off as Kevin rk held her chin and kissed her lips, blocking her words froming out. Kevin rk kissed her with some force, because the two words Uncle rk sounded too unpleasant. Others called him Third Uncle because his status was just like that. He had been called that since he was little and never felt anything inappropriate about it. But when the two words Uncle rk were called out, it gave him a feeling that he was at least fifty years old. Daisy Zane felt the pain on her mouth and grabbed his shirt at the waist. Kevin rk realized she was ufortable and eased up a bit. Just at this moment, the bell rang for the end of the ss period. Soon, there were voices of students talking and ying outside. Daisy Zanes body shivered, and she tried to push Kevin away with her hand on his shoulder. But Kevin suddenly tightened his grip on her back and held her in his arms. He did not let her go. After a while, he lifted her up and put her on the desk next to them. He also squeezed himself between her legs, with one hand on her head and the other caressing her waist. A momentter, someone identally bumped the door. Daisy Zane, who had always been calm, was startled by the sound. Kevin rk seemed to see her scared for the first time andughed a little, his lips close to hers. But he still didnt let her go, and the hand on her waist slowly lifted her school uniform jacket, touching her skin. Daisy Zanes breath quickened. Noticing her nervousness, Kevin withdrew his hand and stopped teasing her. The hand on her head moved to the back of her neck and gently squeezed, soothing her. He stepped back and looked down at her with a smile. Why are you so sensitive? Daisy Zane used her hand on his shoulder to push him away a little, and slowly adjusted her breath without responding to him. Kevin rk held her hand on his shoulder and gently squeezed it. Seeing her blushing ears, he didnt continue teasing her but changed the subject. So, you had a fightst night? Yes. How did you know they were looking for you? A student overheard their conversation and told me, Daisy Zane said softly. The bullied kid sits in front of me, hes only 15, and he took two beatings because of me. Kevin rk understood immediately. The kid would rather be beaten than call for help. The little girl seemed ruthless, but she was actually very loyal. She would surely repay the favor she owed for someone being beaten because of her, and shed do it doubly. Little girl, youre quite popr. Kevin rk stroked her face. Daisy Zanezily replied, Maybe because Im pretty. Kevin rkughed. Whats so funny? Werent you lustful when we first met at the Doomsday Hotel? Daisy Zane raised her eyes, looking at him curiously. Her beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to have a thinyer of mist, making them clean and clear as if they had been washed with water. Kevin rks throat rolled for a moment, and he leaned in closer to kiss her eyelids, after a moment, he asked, What about you? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and replied honestly, Me I was lustful too. I invited you over to drink to admire you up close Chapter 345: 320: Love Rivals Everywhere Chapter 345: 320: Love Rivals Everywhere
Trantor:549690339 Mr. and Mrs. Turner, along with Austin and Joseph, went outside the school first. Allonzo Hobson made a phone call to tell Michael Jackson about the situation, and after arranging things, he posted on Facebook using Henry Horton Entertainments official ount.
[Already called the police, everyone please wait peacefully.] When he saw that Arthur North and Daisy Zane didnte out, he went to see Director Nash along the way. So when Arthur North and Daisy Zane saw Allonzo Hobson next time, they saw him sitting between George Dunn and Turner Daniel, eating sunflower seeds. Brook Sister, Arthur. Across a distance of two or three meters, Allonzo Hobson called out to them. The two of them stopped in their tracks and looked at him. At the same time, George Dunn and Turner Daniel looked over. George Dunn was cool andposed, but Turner Daniel sized up the two of them standing together, sat up straight and looked a little gloomy. As Arthur North and Daisy Zane approached, they saw that Director Nash and the people around him had gotten up. Arthur nodded to signal that they should continue their work and not worry about him. Allonzo Hobson raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them with a yfullyscivious smile, Arthur, you two standing together Brook Sister looks like a minor. Daisy Zane:
Arthur North looked at him, his voice floating lightly, Keep looking, and Ill gouge your eyes out. Allonzo Hobson shivered in fright and coughed lightly, not joking anymore. George Dunn stood up and said, Third Master. Arthur North nodded. Turner Daniel also stood up, looked at Arthur North and then at Daisy Zane, and smiled, Daisy, this is Daisy Zane looked at him and introduced in a soft voice, Boyfriend. Turner Daniels hand, which was hanging by his side, tightened. One of the people recording the show with me. Turner Daniel. Daisy Zane introduced to Arthur North. Turner Daniel might have been young, so any concerns were clearly visible on his face. Allonzo Hobson, George Dunn, and Arthur North quickly noticed. Arthur North looked at him without speaking, but thought to himself: There really are love rivals everywhere.
Well, is there any way to prevent Little Girl from getting angry, while keeping her at home so that only I can see her? Were going to have dinner together, George, and Little Daniel. Want to join? Allonzo Hobson said. George: George Daisy Zane repeated. George Dunn took ten-thousand points of damage, I wont OK. Turner Daniel interrupted George Dunns refusal and agreed cheerfully. Allonzo Hobsons eyes widened slightly, thinking to himself, this kid is a fearless newborn calf, youngster, do you know who youre facing? Arthur North nced at him, a brief chuckle shing in his eyes, then looked away, not taking this young punk seriously. Seeing that Turner Daniel had agreed, George Dunn swallowed his refusal, Alright, lets go together. Austin, Marsh Turner, Turner Daniel . Following Arthur Norths principle of never riding in the same car as a love rival, he let George Dunn and Turner Daniel go with Austin and Josephs car.
The Turner family rode together in another car. Arthur North and Daisy Zane got into Allonzo Hobsons car. All these ubiquitous love rivals made Allonzo Hobson feel stifled on behalf of Arthur North. However, the most stifling thing was yet toe As soon as the car started, Daisy Zane took the initiative and said, I heard that Imperial Capital has secretly acknowledged Bonnie Maxwell as Third Master rks fiancee? Allonzo Hobsons steering wheel slipped at her words. The car made an S-shape on the road. Arthur North and Daisy Zane both swayed in the back seat, and Arthur North instinctively raised his hand to protect Daisy Zanes head first. Ahem, a slip of the hand, a slip of the hand. Allonzo Hobson immediately stabilized the car. Kevin rk nced at him, not caring about his words, as there were obviously more important matters to deal with: Who did you hear that from? Its the talk of the town. Daisy Zane looked at him, her tone casual, like an ordinary after-dinner conversation. Is that whats being said in the Imperial Capital? Kevin asked Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson held the steering wheel with one hand and rubbed his nose, All rumors, just rumors. Daisy Zane nodded, looked out the window, paused, and then said leisurely, Charles Amos told me he just met Miss Maxwell at the rk Manor. Daisy Zane didnt hesitate to sell out Charles Amos. Kevins mouth twitched, very well, the little rascal snitched on him. So much for helping him out of trouble! Why wasnt he his own flesh and blood? If he were, Kevin would have given him aplete childhood. Little Girl, let me exin. That woman going to my house has absolutely nothing to do with me, Kevin exined to Daisy, holding her hand and looking at her profile, Ive never had a fiance. Allonzo Hobson looked at Third Master rk, who wouldnt change his expression even if the sky were falling, and saw a look of anxiety on his face. When Kevin realized that Daisy was still not looking at him and was about to continue exining, he saw her shadow on the car window. The little girl wasughing, holding in herughter with the corners of her mouth. Kevins exnation stuck in his throat. He squinted his eyes and turned her head forcefully with his hand that was holding her chin. As the two looked into each others eyes, Kevins narrowed eyes were filled with ruthlessness, as if he could eat her in the next second. Daisys eyes were full ofughter, and perhaps because she was holding in herughter, her eyes were filled with unshed tears. After a few seconds of eye contact, Kevin lost the staring contest and then pinched her face affectionately with the hand that was holding her chin, andughed along with her. Allonzo Hobson, who saw Kevin lose the battle with Daisy every time, alsoughed with them. When they arrived at the Doomsday Hotel and entered the private booth, Kevin eyed the three love rivals sitting at the table, especially Daisy, who was sitting next to Joseph Allen. Only then did he realize why she suddenly brought up Bonnie Maxwell in the car. After sitting down, Kevin leaned into her ear and said, Little girl, I hold grudges, you know. So? Daisy tilted her head to look at his eyebrows and eyes. So, youll pay for this sooner orter. Daisy smiled a little, shifted her gaze, picked up her ss, and took a sip of water. It was still early, around 5 oclock, so only wine and water were served as dinner was not yet ready. Everyone chatted for a while. They were all from various fields, so their conversations covered a wide range of topics. They talked about the fashion industry for a while, the entertainment industry, and even touched on the legal profession. They even discussed Marsh Turners academic performance for a bit. Mr. Turner sighed, I cant help but wonder if our familys genes have mutated. How can someones grades be so poor? Marsh Turner: This feeling of being publicly punished. Although Allonzo was naughty when he was in school, his grades were never bad, added Mr. Turner. Maybe its my moms family genes that arent good. Mrs. Turner red at him. Dont talk nonsense! Mr. Turner defended his wife, Your mothers grades were always at the top of her ss when I was watching her. Daisy listened, then suddenly raised her eyebrows. Kevin exined from the side, Allonzos uncle is two years older than his aunt, and he was always the senior watching over the junior. From middle school all the way to Senior Three. Its also considered a certain level of raising, Daisy said. Allonzoughed, Fortunately, I was born in a good family. Otherwise, with these grades, I wouldnt even be able to marry a wife. Marsh Turner looked at Allonzo, just in time to see Daisy smile. Although it wasnt a mocking smile, Marsh Turners face still felt hot. For the midterm exams this semester, Ill make sure to be the Grade Topper for you all. Allonzo raised his eyebrows, looked at Daisy, and smiled, Alright, Im waiting. You little rascal, theres no stopping you. Chapter 346: 321: Not Much Time Left for Pre-Marriage Life Chapter 346: 321: Not Much Time Left for Pre-Marriage Life
Trantor:549690339 Because Daisy Zane had to go back and record a program in the evening, Allonzo Hobson had the dishes served a little past six oclock. And because of the recording, wine was poured into the ss next to Daisy, but she didnt drink for fear of having alcohol on her breath.
Today was the Celestial Pivot Assessment, so everyone eventually led the conversation to that topic. Kevin rk picked out the fish bones for Daisy while listening to their conversation. Meanwhile, Daisy listened to their conversation while waiting for her fish. Austin Allen nced at the two of them and couldnt help but say, Lucia, youve been looking great recently. Daisy turned to look at him, Gained weight? Austin had a keen eye to judge peoples body sizes, almost able to measure them with his own eyes. No, just a radiantplexion. After saying that, Austin looked at Kevin and said softly, It must be because Third Master has taken good care of you. Kevins hostility towards Austin wasnt that strong because he could feel that Austin truly cared about Daisy and knew how to respect boundaries, Theres always room for improvement. Austin smiled. Daisy: Turner Daniel sat beside George Dunn, diagonally facing Daisy. Ever since he sat down, his eyes had been ncing at Daisy and Kevin.
Watching their seemingly ustomed interaction. Feeling stifled and furious inside his heart. Seeing Daisys eyes shift to her ss of wine for the Nth time, Kevin said, A little sip wont hurt. Daisy withdrew her gaze but didnt drink. Kevin ced the deboned fish in front of her and said, Little Girl, I suddenly had an idea. You can keep it to yourself. Daisy took a bite of the fish. Kevin smiled and shared his idea, If I drunk you under the table, would I be able to take you home tonight? Third Master, first, you need to have a proper understanding of your alcohol tolerance. Daisy said slowly. Austin barely heard her voice and suppressed the corners of his mouth. Kevin: Secondly Daisy looked at him and asked, What would you take me home for?
Kevin: Third Master, cherish your pre-wedding life. Daisy patted his leg and spoke with a brotherly tone, Theres not much left. Thinking about his limited pre-wedding life, Kevin suppressed the corners of his mouth but couldnt helpughing. A little past seven oclock, everyone finished their meal and left. Since the news online hadnt died down, Allonzo Hobson asked Marsh Turner to take a couple of days off. He didnt need to return to school, so the only ones who needed to go back were Daisy, Turner Daniel, and George Dunn. Kevin asked Allonzo to go back with the Turner family, so he drove the three of them back by himself. Allonzo thought that Third Master rk wanted to casually infuriate the young love rival. By the end of the meal, the cheeks of the young love rival had turned green with anger. And now, Kevin was to send him back by car. If Allonzo were him, he would have continuous nightmares for three days. At such a young age, he must havemitted some bad deeds in his previous life to have Kevin rk as a love rival in this one
George couldnt possibly let Kevin drive himself. So he offered to drive. Kevin agreed. Just as George approached the drivers seat, Daisy stopped him, You with the clothes youre wearing, arent you afraid the police will stop us? George looked down at his school uniform andughed, Ipletely forgot, Im used to wearing it. Mmm, I get it. Daisy said, Youre used to acting young. George took off his uniform jacket: After getting in the car, Daisy and Kevin sat in the back. Daisy sent a message to Holt Lawrence, asking him to send someone to secretly protect William Butch and keep others away from him. She was afraid that the parents would find him, make things difficult for him, and make him change his statement. First to protect William Butch, and second, at this point, she didnt want to hear any more unexpected twists and turns about this matter, if they were to shoot a video, she just wanted to shoot them all down. Kevin sat beside her and asked when she put away her cell phone, Do you have to join a team after recording the show? George immediately moved his neck, as if his ears wanted to extend backward. Since getting in the car, Turner Daniel had been watching their intertwined hands through the rearview mirror. Not for now, the script hasnt been released yet. Georges face fell. Kevin smiled and said, Is Catherine God experiencing a creative bottleneck? More or less. Daisy admitted, Asking Sister Emily to review the script. If there are good ones, let Morris use them first. Director Morris definitely wont use it, George Dunn said. Its not up to him, Daisy Zane said calmly. George Dunn: Ask who in this world can make Morris obediently listen, the answer is: Flynn Ninevara. Kevin rk noticed that Daisy was anxious to join the team, so he paused and said, If you cant write anymore, you can change the topic or theme. Theres no need to force it. Daisy Zane looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and then chuckled lightly after a moment. It seems that Director Morris will not be idle for too long. Now there is a ready-made theme, and it really needs attention. Kevin rk raised his hand and rubbed her head, it seemed that his words were not in vain. When they arrived at school, more than half of the evening self-study time had passed. So the three of them didnt go to ss. On Celeste Martins side, because the three of them couldnte back, the director had her stay in the art building. George Dunn found a ce to sit down, and Turner Daniel also sat next to him, silent. In the car, though Kevin rk and Daisy Zane didnt talk much, and Daisy Zane even slept for a while. But Kevin rks indulgence was so obvious that he didnt have to say anything C it could be seen in his eyes. Although Daisy Zane still appeared the same as usual, still cold, distant, mature, and steady. But in front of Kevin rk, people could still sense her difference. A difference that belonged only to Kevin rk. It was hard to describe what was different, but it just felt different. It seemed that in front of Kevin rk, she would let her guard down. The more Turner Daniel thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more speechless he felt. He thought that someone as intelligent as Daisy Zane should belong to his family. But she was not from his family, and she already belonged to someone else. And that man was the genius recognized by his father and grandfather, the top talent of the research institute. Daisy Zane walked to the chair prepared for her by George Dunn, and after checking the time, asked Marsh Turner for William Butchs contact information. Whether it was the police or Austin Allen, they needed to talk to William Butch about the situation. She needed to talk to William Butch first. As soon as Marsh Turner sent her the contact information, she glimpsed someoneing from the corner of her eye and turned her head to look. She saw five people, each carrying tworge bags of stuff, walking towards them. The staff members immediately got up and walked over. Daisy Zane saw the words Doomsday Hotel on the clothes of those five people. She watched the staff member talk to the person at the front, and then they both looked at her. Daisy Zane took a couple of steps towards them and asked, Whats the matter? Lady Zane, Third Master asked us to bring some drinks and snacks for the staff members, one of them replied. Daisy Zane nced at the food and then at her phone. She had just received a message from Kevin rk: [Use William Lanes money. Saving his sister is not something a few meals can pay off.] Daisy Zane smiled. She had never cared about personal rtionships, relying on Anisa Cooper and Hill Dawson to leave a good reputation for her in the past. When they were not around, Kevin rk took over the job. She was an artist and an actor. Reputation was important. She looked at the staff and the people from the Doomsday Hotel and said, Please help distribute these to everyone. Thank you for your hard work. The staff member swallowed hard, staring at the Doomsday Hotel logo on the packaging, unable to wrap his head around it. This was something he could eat? The service at the Doomsday Hotel was excellent. Not only did they personally deliver the items, but they also took everything out of the bags one by one. The exquisitely wrapped portions looked like they were dishes at a royal banquet. All the staff members stared at the Doomsday Hotel logo on each portion. No one said a word until the people from the Doomsday Hotel had left. Daisy Zane had already added William Butch as a friend and was chatting with him. Then she suddenly heard Director Nash say, Brook God Daisy Zane looked up at him, and from his expression, she understood his thoughts. She said lightly, Kevin rk has quite a bit of money. Director Nash: Didnt everyone skip dinner? The drinks should be hot, Daisy Zane knew that the staff usually ate after returning to the dormitory in the evening. Eat a little to get by for now. The program team: What a way to get by. Using the things from the Doomsday Hotel to get by. All this stuff would be enough for anyone present to spend randomly and then eat dirt for the next three years. Chapter 347: 322 Chapter 347: 322
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zane had briefly informed William Butch of the situation, and he agreed to cooperate with the police. After chatting with him, it was nearly time for evening self-study, so Daisy Zane went to wait for Amelie Quentin at the bottom of the teaching building.
When Amelie Quentin joined her to go back to the dormitory, just two minutes after they arrived, Harton rk called. Amelie Quentin waited for her to finish the call and then went to wash and rinse together. Seeing her returning from the balcony, Quentin inquired, You just saw him, why did he call you again? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow: How do you know I saw him? You have a strong eaglewood scent on you that you usually dont have, Amelie Quentin said, It must havee from Harton rk. You could smell that? Amelie Quentin looked at her and asked, What did you two do? Such a heavy scent. Daisy Zane stroked the cell phone in her hand. Amelie Quentin realized she had said too much and immediately said, Never mind, I dont really want to know. Daisy Zane turned around, looked at her desk, andughed. Amelie Quentin:
At twelve oclock in the evening, Daisy Zane, who was asleep, was awakened by the sudden light of her phone. She looked at the message, which had been sent by Holt Lawrence. The assessment results must be out. However Usually, he would just send a list and be done with it. Today, the messages were jumping out one by one, which was a little unusual. So Daisy Zane took her phone and went to the restroom again. Sitting on the toilet, she looked at the messages sent by Holt Lawrence one by one. [Nana, its unbelievable, someone has solved all three questions you set!] Daisy Zane didnt react because she thought someone should be able to solve them; she didnt make them too difficult. She continued to read. [Not only did they solve it, but they did it in a very short time.] [From 22:00 to 23:51, they solved them all! They were the fastest this year!]
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow at this message. It had taken Holt Lawrence almost a day to solve them. Although solving her questions didnt mean that the persons skills were above Holt Lawrences. After all, it was just a few questions, and everyone had different ways of learning and approaching them. Naturally, everyone had their own strengths. However being able to achieve this level in one aspect could mean that with some guidance and training in other areas, they would not be far behind. [Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I suddenly feel like Celestial Pivot has a sessor!] [Nana! After all these years! After all these years! I finally saw new blood! Celestial Pivot will never wither away!] [This persons code name is Abyss; I looked up the person based on their code name.] [Guess who I found?!] [Youll never guess!] Daisy Zane looked at his messages and thought he was too wordy.
[William Butch! Its William Butch! The same William Butch you asked me to look up! Its insane!] Seeing this name, Daisy Zanes fingertips holding her phone trembled slightly. Holt Lawrences messages continued to jump out one by one. [Its really William Butch, just 15 years old! A true new force!] [Nana, the surveince footage that night must have been hacked by William Butch; I saw on the surveince that you were together, right?] [Nana, youre my lucky charm. Theres surprise everywhere you go.] [Joining a show, I got a sessor.] [Nana, how should I thank you? How about I invite you to dinner, and we can meet up.] [Lets do it at the steamed bun shop on the edge of Dark Street; Ill splurge a little and treat you to five-dor steamed buns. Eat as many as you want!] Daisy Zane: [Nana, why arent you speaking? Are you so surprised that youre speechless? Im speechless too. Honestly, I suddenly feel that your meddling was worth it. It wasnt in vain. Were family now.] [Nana, say something. I know youre looking at the screen. Squeak.] Daisy Zane typed on the screen expressionlessly, [What if he doesnt want to join Celestial Pivot?] After saying this, Daisy Zane blocked Holt Lawrence. The assessment was also a two-way selection, and those who passed the assessment were free to not join. This kind of situation was rare for Celestial Pivot. But it was not impossible. Indeed, after Daisy Zane sent this message, Holt Lawrences side immediately exploded. [Celestial Pivot! Celestial Pivot! Celestial Pivot! He wont join?!] Sending it, Holt Lawrence got a red exmation mark. [???] Red exmation mark. [!!!] Red exmation mark. Holt Lawrence: Holt Lawrence stopped sending messages, and Daisy Zane felt much quieter in an instant. She hadnt expected William Butch to have such an ability and to be so powerful. It had been a long time since shest felt challenged in this way. He had solved her questions in less than two hours. She had to admit, she was a little excited right now. She even wanted to personally test how powerful William Butch was. Sitting in the restroom for a while, Daisy Zane seemed to think of something. She flipped through Holt Lawrences messages once more and looked at the list of those who had passed the assessment. Among the millions of participants from various continents, only ten were chosen by Celestial Pivot. Daisy Zane looked at the hacker code names of the ten people on the list. With a trace of disbelief in her eyes, she thought, This cant tell who is who. For a moment, she let out a slightly mockingugh. A Bonnie Maxwell was not worth her concern. The next day, William Butch didnte to ss. Daisy Zane heard from Skyler Thomas that he was working with the police investigation. Then, Daisy Zane asked Austin Allen, and Allen said that William Butch was with him. He also told her that he wouldnt let those parents see William Butch and that he would protect him. With Austin Allen present, Daisy Zane felt more at ease, so she went to record the show. At noon, Holt Lawrence, who had been removed from the cklist, sent a message: [William Butch really didnt n to join Celestial Pivot.][Crying][Tough guy tears] Somewhat unsurprisingly, Daisy Zane saw this message. She even subconsciously felt that William Butch would do just that. She replied with: [Youre already 40, dont act like a young girl sending emojis, its disgusting.] [Nana, hes right in front of you, can you help persuade him? Celestial Pivot really needs him.] Daisy Zane looked at his message, set it to do not disturb, then opened the game, waiting for Amelie Quentin toe back and y together. The new season needed points, and Amelie Quentins newly matched teammates had ruined two rounds. Now she had gone to the restroom to wash her hands and calm down, Or in other words, wash away bad luck and get rid of the noobs. But when Amelie Quentin returned, she also brought back a piece of news. As soon as she sat down, she said, Bonnie Maxwell joined Celestial Pivot. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. In the early morning, Holt Lawrence had a list and only showed it to her. It was only publicly announced this morning. All ten of them, except for William Butch, had chosen Celestial Pivot. Amelie Quentin opened the game page and said, Now shes gonna be smug again. Chapter 348 - 323: A Duo That Tricks Children Chapter 348: Chapter 323: A Duo That Tricks Children Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing about Bonnie Maxwells entry into Celestial Pivot, Daisy Zane didnt pay much attention to it. She entered the game, invited Olivia Lane, and then invited Marsh Turner. She then nced through her friend list, saw Allonzo Hobson online, and invited him too. Allonzo Hobson entered the game very quickly. After logging in, he asked, Brook Sister Olivia Lane is here too. Howe youre here? Olivia Lane responded softly, wearing a headset. From there, Marsh Turner yelled out, Brother. My dad wont let me go out, so I can only stay at home and y. Allonzo Hobson chuckled and said, Serves you right. Daisy Zane asked, Can any of you guys bring someone else? Wait a minute, I just called my brother, he hasnte online yet. Olivia Lane said. Daisy Zane tilted her head and looked at her with a smile, So you lost in a game, and now you want your brother to get revenge for you? Is there a problem with that? Olivia Lane asked. Not at all. After their conversation, Allonzo Hobson chimed in, Wait, that primitive guy, William Lane, can he actually y games? Are you looking for him to get revenge or screw you over? My brother is definitely better than you, Olivia Lane said. My brother doesnt live a primitive life, he just doesnt have many useless social media apps. Allonzo Hobson replied, Fine, there you go defending him. Just as he finished speaking, William Lane entered the game. Allonzo Hobson immediately addressed him, Hey, who told me he doesnt have WhatsApp? How did he log in? When he ys games with his sister, does he have WhatsApp? William Lane heard his voice, Howe youre here as well? Everyone was now present, so Daisy Zane started the game. Soon, the five of them entered the hero banning stage. Allonzo Hobson resumed speaking, Whats wrong with me being here? My cousin is here too. Not just my cousin, you see Fifth Floor. My Brook Sister um you should call her Auntie. Daisy Zane: William Lane: Marsh Turner: Olivia Lane nced at Daisy Zane, seemingly noticing her feeling dumbfounded. She changed the topic, Which hero should I y? Whatever you like, Daisy Zane and William Lane said simultaneously. Just y whatever you want. Both spoke at the same time, and after finishing, they both became silent. Olivia Lane: Marsh Turner pretended not to hear anything. Allonzo Hobson stayed quiet for a while beforeughing softly, Such understanding good thing Arthur North isnt here. William Lane, sitting in the Research Institutes restroom, looked up at Harton rk sitting opposite of him. He felt that Harton rks floating gaze threatened their years-long brotherhood. Allonzo Hobson said nothing more, and everyone entered the game in peace. A new skin for Eden Hamilton had recently been released, and Olivia Lane liked it, so she chose to y Eden Hamilton. Daisy Zane yed rk Ava, and William Lane yed Gary Whitepear. Throughout the game, both William Lane and Daisy Zane revolved around Olivia Lane. It was understandable for Daisy Zane, a support, to follow Olivia Lane. But William Lane, a jungler, roamed wildly through the jungle, yet always managed to be beside Olivia Lane the moment someone came near her. With a series of elegant moves, they secured kills for Olivia Lane before leaving and disappearing back into the jungle. What was most infuriating: Allonzo Hobson was almost killed. Then he saw Gary Whitepear brush past him, rushing towards Olivia Lane. Allonzo Hobson watched his back as he left without a nce, and was sent back to base for free. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane controlled her rk Ava, healing bit by bit, not taking a single kill. It was only duringter team fights that they managed to secure two kills. The gamested for twenty-two minutes when the other team surrendered. Without a doubt, Olivia Lane benefited the most from this game. The frustration of being sabotaged for two games dissipated, and she finally felt happy. Seeing her happy, Daisy Zane also followed suit and curled up her lips. Then she started the next match. In the next game, with the same lineup and same tactics, Allonzo Hobson finally couldnt take it anymore: William, dont you know that there are other people in the game besides your sister? Hmm, I saw Arthur Norths girlfriend. You Allonzo Hobson clenched his teeth and said, Before forty seconds, you passed me by. Thirty secondster, you stepped on my corpse and returned to the jungle. Oh, William Lane said indifferently, are you trying to tell me how bad you are? Get lost! Allonzo Hobson didnt want to speak anymore. The opposing yers were significantly stronger than those in the previous game, so the five of them got more serious. They also discussed some tactics. Someone in the ss had already fallen asleep. Chapter 349 - 323: A Duo That Tricks Children_2 Chapter 349: Chapter 323: A Duo That Tricks Children_2 Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane and Amelie Quentin went up to the rooftop of the teaching building to have a voice chat on their phones. After a team battle, the five of them became rxed again as their opponents were at a disadvantage. Allonzo Hobson started chatting: Brook Sister, did those parents apologize to the ss yesterday? I heard they did. Daisy Zane said. Amelie Quentin: They came. They were very sincere; they even almost bowed down to apologize to each ssmate. It must be you guys who did it, I was wondering why they suddenly changed their attitude. Not us, its Brook Sister alone. Allonzo Hobson said. What happened? Amelie Quentin looked at Daisy Zane, Did I miss something exciting? With no outsiders present, Allonzo Hobson briefly exined the incident. Although he only gave a general description, his words were extremely exaggerated. He portrayed Daisy Zane as a bully. Amelie, you really missed a great scene. Allonzo Hobson said, You didnt see how cool your auntie was when she threw out the evidence one by one. Whos my auntie? Shes not. Amelie Quentin whispered. If shes not your auntie, what is she? It seems like you also want to call her sister. Allonzo Hobsonughed, You two brothers really know how to take advantage of Arthur North. What if she bes my sister-inw in the future? Amelie Quentin started talking nonsense again. As soon as these words came out, Daisy Zane used a skill in the game. At the same time, William Lane, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it all over the table. Seeing Arthur Norths gloomy face, he couldnt help but cough until his face turned red. Allonzo Hobson was quiet for a while and then burst intoughter: Amelie, youre amazing. You actually want to steal Arthur Norths wife. Will Arthur kill someone? Damn! I cant wait to see what Arthurs expression will be when he finds out. Whos sister-inw? Arthur Norths ethereal voice came from the game, entering everyones ears, What are you looking forward to? Allonzo Hobson: !!! Amelie Quentin: !!! Suddenly, everyone went silent, as if even the games sounds had disappeared. William Lane was still coughing, and Amelie Quentins in-game character stood still. Allonzo Hobsons character was moving, but what was he doing in ce? In the game map, Daisy Zane controlled rk Ava, facing the enemy heroesing over and turned her full support style into assassin style. With just a sliver of health, Nathan Ninevara was saved. If you three dont start moving, Ill hack your ounts back to the beginners tutorial. Allonzo Hobson and Amelie Quentin finally started to move. But Amelie Quentin was like an old man taking a leisurely walk, wandering around in the game. Daisy Zane looked at the still unmoving William Lane and said: Arthur North, you scared them. Arthur North, who wanted to teach William Lane a lesson, softened his expression and leaned back in his chair. William Lane: ??? Just now it seemed like a fierce confrontation was about to take ce between them, and now with a single sentence from her, everything became calm? Is Arthur North whipped by his girlfriend?!?!!? He really had his eyes opened today. Daisy Zane continued: Have you had lunch? Arthur Norths remaining anger dissipated, and his voice softened: I ate. Taking a break now. Charles Amos came to me with aint today. Arthur North: He said you went homest night and erased all his homework written in pencil. Seeing that, Daisy Zaneughed. Not only that, Arthur Northughed, Today, I reced his other pens with disappearing ink, the kind that disappears automatically after 15 minutes. Daisy Zane sympathized with Charles Amos for a moment before saying: Third Master, you can really hold a grudge. Yes. You handed him over first. Arthur Northughed, Since I cant touch you, its okay to vent my anger on him. William Lane looked at this pit-digging duo. What kind of fate made this poor child born into such a family? The child shall pay for the mothers debt. Daisy Zane said slowly. These four words made Marsh Turners in-game character stop in its tracks. Amelie Quentins hand trembled, and she looked at Daisy Zane with puzzlement. What does The child shall pay for the mothers debt mean? What did that guy named Charles say just now? Is he her son?! Does she have a son?! Daisy Zane noticed Amelie Quentins surprise and touched her head: If you dont start ying well, the other team will make aeback. Amelie Quentin stared at her cell phone, mechanically controlling her character. When Arthur North heard her words, his eyshes trembled. He knew the little girl was deliberately saying these things in front of everyone as a way tofort him. The child can also pay for the fathers debt. Arthur North saidzily. So that means they will vent their anger on Charles Amos if they have any disagreements in the future? Allonzo Hobson snorted withughter: What did our Charles do wrong to end up with parents like you two? Marsh Turner was sent back to the city for free. Heartbroken. They even had a child together. And the child even knew how to tattle and do homework! After one more game, they barely won. In the third round, Marsh Turner was invited out by Allonzo Hobson and Arthur North came in. Allonzo Hobson saw Arthur Norths game ranking and muttered: You guys all have your own tricks. When you ask you to y games with me, you refuse. But one of you secretly registers an ount to protect your little sister and another one secretly practices, only to train with their girlfriend when shes bored. You guys really have it all. No one responded to him. Allonzo Hobson didnt mind. After entering the game, he was silent for a while and then said: Brook Sister, did you check out the Celestial Pivot Assessment questions yesterday? In this round, Arthur North was ying support and went to the bottomne with Daisy Zane. Amelie Quentin went to the middlene. Daisy Zane nced at Amelie Quentins position and said: I did. Were Nathan Ninevaras questions difficult? Allonzo Hobson asked, I heard from a little bird that only one person managed to solve all of Nathan Ninevaras questions. Not difficult. Daisy Zane replied indifferently. Amelie Quentin looked at her again and asked, So you know hacking, too? Amelie, when you were first taken away by Henry rk, it was your auntie who tracked you down. Allonzo Hobson said, Do you know your aunties level? Shes capable of grinding Holt Lawrence into the ground. Amelie Quentin was surprised again, she had so many shocks today. After a while, she asked: Then why didnt you join Celestial Pivot? Daisy Zane looked at her, then at her phone, and said nonchntly: Im afraid Id make Holt Lawrence lose his job. Amelie Quentin: A 40-year-old unemployed man thats pretty miserable. Amelie Quentin: Allonzo Hobson burst intoughter. William Lane looked at the man sitting across from him, smiling as he hooked his lips. He now realized that Arthur Norths girlfriend was also a devil. She might even be worse than Arthur North. Chapter 350: 324: If Chu Family Tries to Kill Me Chapter 350: 324: If Chu Family Tries to Kill Me
Trantor:549690339 They had been ying games for a whole afternoon, enjoying a winning streak for an entire afternoon, with Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane staying on the rooftop. They only considered going back down when there were twenty minutes left before ss started.
But just as they went down less than five steps, they heard argumentsing from the ground floor. Few people ever came to the rooftop. Even the ground floor was already considered a rtively secluded area. People tended to gather and hang out on the ground floor, but not many ever went up to the rooftop. Hearing the voices, both of them stopped in their tracks and stood still. Daisy recognized one of the voices as Skyler Thomas, while the other was a woman she had never heard before. Olivia Lane typed a few words on her cell phone and showed it to Daisy Zane: [Skyler Thomas and ss 8 homeroom teacher] Daisy nodded, initially wanting to go back to the rooftop, but since Olivia remained still, she did not move either. Downstairs, the voice of the ss 8 homeroom teacher was filled with resentment: Skyler Thomas, did you do this on purpose? You drove away all six of our students from our ss. What? Do you want to get them back? They brought it upon themselves, Skyler Thomas retorted. Is it because our ss has good grades, and youre envious, so you deliberately undermine our students? said the ss 8 homeroom teacher, The grade topper is in our ss. What? Are you going to target our sss top student next? Youve taught a ss of losers; is it because you dont want other sses to do well?
Evan Ss, mind yournguage, Skyler Thomas said, Do you think this is something a teacher should say? What did I say? Evan Ss sneered, Youre a good teacher, and youre the only good teacher in the whole world. Then why cant you even get an Outstanding Teacher title by the age of forty? Dont ever reflect on yourself? Manage yourself, and I wont need your meddling, Skyler Thomas replied. Then dont wave around in front of me, said Evan Ss, ss 16 is full of youngdies and young masters. Even the top few in ss have to be searched from the back of the school rankings. As soon as I told the director I couldnt handle a ss like this, you took over immediately. What do you mean? Are you deliberately going against me? Can you handle something I cant do? Arent you overying your part? Skyler Thomas said irritably, Cant anyone else take over a ss you dont want? Youre after fame and fortune; you pursue it. Why are you keeping an eye on a ss you dont want? You make yourself sound so noble. Do you dare to say that you took over ss 16 without any personal interest? Evan Ss raised his voice, but lowered it right away, afraid that someone would hear him, You must have seen the power of these students parents. You defended Marsh Turner so forcefully yesterday; did you want to climb the Turner and Hobson Familydder? Skyler Thomas could no longer bear it and blurted out, Do you have some kind of problem? As if convinced of Skyler Thomass intentions, Evan Sss facial expression grew increasingly malicious, and there was even a hint of excitement. This excitement seemed to suggest that he had discovered that this person was also after profit, and any pretense of nobility was false. As if there was no real difference between them. What a pity. What can you do if you climb up them as a teacher? They will leave in a year and forget about you. Later, when they mention Skyler Thomas, they wont even know who it is, Evan Ss said.
Laughing suddenly, Evan Ss continued, And when their grades arent good, their parents will me you. Theyll me your ipetence. When their grades are good, its because of their childrens hard work. When theyre not, its because the teacher isnt dedicated or qualified. Theyll only despise you. And since you dont even have a title, theyll despise you even more, calling you rubbish, unworthy of being a teacher. Skyler Thomas looked at her without saying a word. Evan Ss went on: What nobility are you pretending? No one will pay attention to you. Even if you climb up the Turner and Hobson Family, so what? Outstanding Teacher is based on students grades, and no one can interfere. You still wont be anything; you wont be anything. Taking a deep breath, Skyler Thomas slowly exhaled, Evan Ss, youre too extreme. Grades arent the only measurement of everything. But without grades, youre nothing, Evan Ss said, This years College Entrance Exams top schr will definitely be from our ss. The Outstanding Teacher award, bonus, and honor will all be mine. But you you can only see off a batch of poor students. This is the price you pay for your false nobility. Youll end up with nothing!

Trantor:549690339 Evan Ss, Im saying it onest time, please mind yournguage! Your duty is not just to teach, but the more important task of educating! Evan Ssughed quietly again, the mockery in his tone was very obvious: With the kind of students you have in your ss, you dare to talk about education with me? Hrious! Academics are the top priority. Without good grades, not just your students, but you too wouldnt amount to anything! After these students leave, you just wait for all the students and parents in the next grade to switch sses as soon as they hear your name.
Skyler Thomas didnt say a word, feeling that there was no need to talk to such a person. Im just waiting to see how youll ruin your own reputation. Evan Ss said, Im curious to see what your so-called educating will bring forth. Onest reminder, this is a private school. When your time is up, youd better pray that the Hobson and Turner families intervene to save your job here. With that, Evan Ss left first. Skyler Thomas stood in ce for more than two minutes before leaving as well. After they left, Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane. Olivia Lane, having watched the excitement, looked back at her and said, Originally, Evan Ss was supposed to be in charge of the 16th ss. But when he saw our sss grades, he went to find the director. Since then, ss 16 hasnt had a homeroom teacher. Skyler Thomas isnt she the original homeroom teacher of ss 8? Daisy Zane said. Congrattions, you guessed it right. Olivia Lane replied, Evan Ss would rather be idle all day thane to ss 16. No one wanted to take responsibility for ss 16. The director came to watch us every day and taught our math sses. In the end Skyler Thomas volunteered toe here. Daisy Zaneughed. This wasnt just as simple as changing sses, it was equivalent to giving up the fame, fortune, and honor that were within reach. No wonder ss 8s teacher hated her so much.
She voluntarily took over this mess in ss 16. Inparison, Evan Sss approach was just too disgraceful. One was noble and selfless, the other was selfish and self-serving. Withoutparison, everything seemed fine, but with the contrast, Evan Sss pride had nowhere to hide. So, she would always keep an eye on Skyler Thomas, hoping she would get worse and worse, even hoping she would regret it. That way, Evan Sss heart might feel a little better. Skyler Thomas shes generally fine, but her ability to recognize people is too poor. She cant remember faces, only seats. Olivia Lane suddenlyughed, recalling something, As a result, she hasnt even recognized all the people in ss 8 beforeing to ss 16, and then she was calling everyone in ss 16 chaotically. Now when someone from ss 8 greets her, she cant even recognize who they are. Daisy Zane had witnessed this herself, as she had once asked some boys from ss 8 which ss they were in. After our year leaves, Skyler Thomas will probably be out of a job. Olivia Lane said, pausing before adding, Unemployment for a forty-year-old woman thats quite miserable. Daisy Zane curled her lips and looked at her, So? Arent you going to help her? How can I help? Should I ask my brother to buy Gathering Joy and employ her long-term?
Daisy Zane: Seeing her speechless, Olivia Lane asked after a while, What should we do then? Its simple. You just need to be the top schr in the College Entrance Exam. Daisy Zane said casually. Olivia Lane suddenly fell silent. Its simple, isnt it? Daisy Zane said, I heard youve been in Senior Three for several years. Olivia Lane shifted her gaze to the railing of the staircase without saying a word. Seeing her like this, Daisy Zane quietly reflected for a moment before saying, I dont know much about what happened to your family, but I can guess a little. She had guessed from the night when Harton rk said to her, L Campbell must also want to see her little sister excel. She had guessed that Charlotte Lane might no longer be in the Lane family and also some reasons why Olivia Lane had repeated Senior Three year after year. Olivia Lanes fingertips rubbed the cuffs of her school uniform. You have your persistence, and maybe it makes you feel a little better. But what if shees back one day?
Olivia Lanes gaze lowered, and her drooping hands clenched. Daisy Zane looked at her reaction and calmly said, Shees back only to see her younger sister having achieved nothing, not even able to attend school. How do you think she would feel? Guilty for a lifetime, heartbroken for a lifetime? Olivia Lanes lips trembled, and she looked up at her. Her eyes were cold, but the rims were red. It was like the irritation of having ones troubles exposed and the anger of having ones wounds ripped open. Seeing Olivia Lane like this, Daisy Zane didnt n on holding back and continued, Or are you doing this on purpose because you dont really like her, and youre deliberately making her feel guilty when shees back with a new life? Daisy Zane, youre talking too much today. Olivia Lane finally spoke, her voice cold and hoarse. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth, looked into her eyes, and said something very provocative: Or do you think Charlotte Lane will nevere back? Shut up! Olivia Lane suddenly grabbed Daisy Zanes cor, her eyes reddened even more, Nonsense! My sister will definitelye back! She wille back! Daisy Zane nced at her hand, holding her cor, and thought to herself how amazing she was. She managed to make Olivia Lane hold her cor. Holding her cor was one thing, not having her hit back was another. She looked back at Olivia Lanes reddened eyes, about to spill tears: Since youre so intent on ruining your future, I thought you believed she would nevere back. Daisy Zane! Daisy Zane grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand from her cor and looked straight into her eyes, cold and indifferent yet striking straight to the heart: If I were your sister, seeing you like this, I wouldnt want toe back. With that, she let go of Olivia Lanes hand, and without looking at her again, walked straight down the stairs. As she turned the corner, she heard Olivia Lanes suppressed crying. Daisy Zane sighed softly, walked to a ce where Olivia Lane couldnt see her, and kept watch while texting Harton rk: [If the Lane Familyes after me, whose side will you be on?] After two minutes, Harton rk finally replied: [?] After sending it, Harton rk immediately followed up with another message: [On your side.] Daisy Zane raised the corners of her mouth: [I made Olivia Lane cry, so tell William Lane toe pick her up. I guess shes not in the mood for ss anymore.] Chapter 352: 325: The End of the Show Chapter 352: 325: The End of the Show
Trantor:549690339 ss had already started, but Daisy Zane didnt go back. She stood downstairs and heard the suppressed crying of Amelie Quentin.
She had somewhat underestimated the reaction of the young girl. She even thought that Amelie Quentins listlessness for nearly a week might have something to do with Charlotte Lane, and she had just happened to be caught in the crossfire. Kevin rk was still texting her: [Little Girl, Im a little curious, what did you do to make her cry?] Daisy Zane didnt tell him, but instead asked: [Did you tell William Lane?] Kevin rk: [No. William Lane doesnt have time right now.] William had just entered theboratory, and it would be quite a while before he coulde out. Besides, they thought it was just a little crying, so it wouldnt be a big deal. Daisy Zane: [ ] Kevin rk: [Shell be alright after crying.] Daisy Zane turned off her cell phone and ignored Kevin rk. She looked at the staircase handrail, listening to Amelie Quentins crying, which had been going on for nearly 5 minutes. Amelie showed no sign of stopping. She can really cry. Daisy stroked her fingertips, feeling somewhat agitated. After a while, she went downstairs to buy a bottle of water and some tissue paper. Holding these things, she slowly went back upstairs.
Amelie Quentin was sitting on the stairs, her face buried in her knees, crying with her shoulders shaking. She heard footsteps, suddenly raised her head, looking down the steps. Daisy Zane was standing there, holding a bottle of water, looking at her indifferently. From the moment she spoke provocatively to her, until now, she stood without any expression change. As if she was truly cold-blooded. Amelie s face was covered in tears and her eyes were even redder than before. When she looked up at Daisy, her face showed a mix of shock and panic. She thought she had run into someone else and was embarrassed to be crying like this. But when she saw it was her, her face instantly became ferocious, as if she was going to hit someone the next second. But this ferocity doesnt have any deterrence under the washing of tears. Daisy hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked up to her and sat next to her. You can really cry, she said. Amelie ignored her.
Daisy tore open the tissue paper and handed it to her. Amelie took several tissues and wiped the tears on her face. Didnt you leave? I came back to see if I should call 120 for you. Hearing her words, Amelie moved away from her, keeping a distance. Daisy looked at the growing distance between them and said again, I was joking. Just as Amelie thought she had some conscience, she heard Daisy say, Ive never seen someone who can cry so much, so I came back to watch the spectacle. Go away! Daisy didnt speak anymore, and they both fell silent for a while. After a while, Amelie suddenly said, My sister wille back. Daisy turned her head to look at her. My sister will definitelye back. Amelie looked at her, her eyes red and nose reddened, pitiful but determined. She wille back.
Daisy just looked at her without a word. Did you hear me? Amelie asked hoarsely. Do I need to respond? Daisy replied tly. Yes. Amelie answered softly. I heard you. Daisy opened the bottle of water in her hand and handed it to her, She wille back. She wille back. Amelie repeated, then took the water. All the people around Daisy had no blood rtion to her, so she didnt know what kind of magical effect blood ties could produce. But looking at Amelie like this, it seemed that blood rtions were indeed magical. What she had heard more about in the past was the infighting and power struggles insiderge families, like Gael Eastons family, for instance. The internal conflicts were severe. On the surface, everyone looked peaceful, but behind the scenes, they couldnt wait to curse each other and have the other person dead. However, there was no such situation in the rk and Lane families. The family atmosphere was good, and William Lane loved his sister dearly. Perhaps Charlotte also loved Amelie at that time, which was the reason why she was so persistent. Since she wille back, you should take care of yourself. Daisy said softly, Wait for her return and continue to be her bright and outstanding sister. Ameilie hung her head, her eyshes still hanging with teardrops, took a while before gently answering. Daisy looked at her for a moment, reached out to ruffle her hair, and then stood up. She walked down one step, and suddenly her hand that was hanging by her side was grabbed. She looked down and saw Amelie with her head down, her left hand gripping her fingers, and she said dryly, Thank you. Daisy raised her eyebrows. Im sorry Amelie whispered, My attitude was too bad just now. Chapter 353: 325: The End of the Show_2 Chapter 353: 325: The End of the Show_2
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane, who sat huddled together with herself as if she was a child who had done something wrong. Suddenly, Daisy Zanes head throbbed with a sharp pain, and many blurry images shed through her mind. She staggered to the side and subconsciously tried to find support, gripping Olivia Lanes fingertips tightly.
Catching a glimpse of Daisys stumble in the corner of her eye, Olivia quickly tightened her grip as well and stood up. With her other hand, she held Daisys arm: Whats wrong with you? Daisy touched her temples: I stood up too quickly. Olivia looked at her and saw through the lie: Youve been up for almost a minute. Daisy didnt change her expression: There is a dy. Olivia: Did she look that easy to fool? Going to ss? Daisy asked. Are you sure youre okay? Im fine. Lets go back after the next ss. Olivia picked up the water on the ground and took a sip. Okay. Daisy agreed and sat back on the steps. After a while, she took out her cell phone and texted Holt Lawrence: [Find me a psychologist who is good at hypnosis.]
After typing this, Daisys fingers hovered over the send button for a moment before deleting the entire text. She closed her phone as well. As the program recording drew to a close. On thest day of recording on Friday, they recorded until the veryst ss of the day. For thest ss, even Skyler Thomas changed into more formal clothes. It was Skyler Thomass outfit that made people realize someone in the ss was leaving. It was time to remove all the CCTV cameras that had been installed for the past two weeks. Olivia began doing homework yesterday. She didnt know the specifics of the assignment, but when she saw the papers on the desk, she started writing. And she didnt just write randomly; although there were no steps shown, the final answers were correct. Seeing Skyler Thomas like this, she turned to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane was chatting with Kevin rk. Kevin had picked her up, and Anisa Cooper had alsoe along.
Feeling Olivias gaze, Daisy looked up at her and said, You cant bear to part with me? Youre overthinking it. Daisy Zaneughed: My next show will be shot in Imperial Capital University, you can visit me if you have time. No time. Alright, you can stille if you have no time. Olivia Lane: Skyler Thomas went on stage to give a speech. As a math teacher, her speech was like a wedding host, thanking everyone who could be thanked. If it werent for the directors strict control of the time, Daisy Zane thought she could talk for at least twenty minutes. After Skyler Thomas finished her words of thanks, she began reading thements she wrote for the four of them, Daisy Zanes group. Not only were therements, but also souvenirs.
A certificate with the Gathering Joy Private School stamp, and four big characters written on the certificate besides their names: Bright Future. Skyler Thomas began, in a formal tone: Turner Daniel. A young genius who became famous in his youth. Entered Imperial Capital University with a total score of 741. Graduated from university at the age of 18. A backbone in the young team. Turner Daniel: Come on, Turner Daniel,e up and receive your award. Turner Daniel did not want to move, but he still went up. He held the certificate in both hands and gave a short speech. His speech could be divided into three parts: discussing his feelings about the past few weeks, thanking everyone for their care, and giving his wishes to the ssmates in the ss and looking forward to the future. Hmm do students have to go through this process in school? Daisy Zane asked Olivia Lane while watching Skyler Thomas adjust Turner Daniels certificate for him. Olivia Lane said expressionlessly: If Skyler Thomas dares to do this, I wont be the top student for her. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and smiled. Next up was George Dunn. Skyler Thomas said, George Dunn. Beneath the mature exterior lies a youthful heart. George Dunn: Daisy Zane chuckled. The ssmates in the ss alsoughed. Skyler Thomas continued: With excellent grades, George has the courage to pursue his interests and achieve excellence in what he loves. Despite his many experiences, he remains a youth at heart. Following the same procedure, George Dunn went on stage to receive the award and give a speech. He was originally holding the certificate with one hand, but Skyler Thomas forcibly positioned his other hand on the other side of the certificate and ced it in front of him. While speaking, George Dunn allowed Skyler Thomas to rearrange him as needed. The third person was Celeste Martin. Thement Skyler Thomas gave was: Beautiful inside and out, always willing to help others, lively and cheerful. She shines in the field she loves and, at a young age, has been able to enter the Court Music Academy. She has never given up any effort for her dreams. Her delicate frame conceals an enormous energy. Chapter 354: 325: The End of the Show_3 Chapter 354: 325: The End of the Show_3
Trantor:549690339 Celeste Martin went up to the podium, took the certificate from Skyler Thomass hand, and ced it in front of her obediently. Then, she also gave a speech.
Celeste Martins voice was soft and gentle, and her attitude was sincere. She summarized her experiences over the past two weeks and thanked several ssmates specifically. When she got to the part about not wanting to leave, her voice became choked up and her eyes teared up. No one likes farewells, especially these naive students. With tears in Celeste Martins eyes, some of the girls in the ss also became teary-eyed. Olivia Lane watched Celeste Martin and then turned to Daisy Zane and said, You might want to get some inspiration from her. Inspiration for what? Daisy Zane asked. Olivia Lane looked at Daisy Zanes indifferent expression and cold demeanor, fearing that if she went up there like she had insulted her yesterday, she might insult the entire ss. Then would the students in this ss chase her and beat her up? Oh, the people in this ss wouldnt be able to beat her even if they tried. When Celeste Martin finished speaking, there was apuse from the ss, whichsted for a while. When Celeste Martin and George Dunn stood beside the podium, tears fell from their eyes. George handed her a tissue.
Skyler Thomas was also moved by Celestes speech, and when she started speaking, her voice had turned hoarse. She cleared her throat and began to read Daisy Zanesments: Education does not equal knowledge, but knowledge is always one of the necessary factors to enrich ones heart. Despite many difficulties, she never backed down. Despite many difficulties, she never gave up. Even in unfavorable conditions, she can still stand at the top. She has paved her own broad and t road with her own abilities. True gold fears no fire. Gold will always shine wherever it goes. Skyler Thomas looked at Daisy Zane: But I think she is more like a brilliant star. A star that can illuminate the darkness, a star that can dispel the darkness for others. A light that shines bright, putting an end to eternal night. Everyone looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at Skyler Thomas calmly, without any change in her expression. Just a few secondster, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. She got up, walked over to where Skyler Thomas was, and took the certificate from her. Skyler Thomas smiled at her and stepped aside, giving the podium to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked down at the certificate in her hand, walked up to the podium, and ced the certificate on the podium. Seeing her actions, Skyler paused and reminded her, Daisy, pick up the certificate. The camera will record it. Hold it with both hands in front of you. Daisy Zane looked at her and sincerely said, Teacher, I suggest canceling this certificate-holding process, otherwise, youll lose a college entrance exam champion. Olivia Lane:
Upon hearing her words, George mumbled to himself in a low voice, I knew I shouldnt have held it either. That was so stupid. Isnt that the truth, Turner Daniel said. I havent held a certificate like this since elementary school. Skyler Thomas looked at Daisy Zane with a puzzled expression on her face. What was she talking about? College entrance exam champion? What champion? What entrance exam? Skyler Thomas looked around the ss, trying to see who might have the potential to be a champion. Then she thought that all her students had limitless potential. What if they put in the effort?! Yes, her ss could be a champion ss! Seeing Skyler Thomas still baffled, Daisy Zane spoke up again: Trust me. Skyler Thomas mechanically nodded her head: Alright. Once Skyler Thomas had stepped aside again, Daisy Zane looked at the ss and spoke softly: I havent been to school before and have no memories of school life. So Im grateful to the program team for making up for my regret. And Id like to thank everyone for letting me experience youth and vigor. Expecting Daisy to also deliver an emotional and heart-tugging speech, the ss listened quietly. But as everyone braced themselves for it, they suddenly heard her say, Well, save that part for the program team.
The whole ss was caught off guard, the emotions they had prepared stuck in their chests, making them ufortable. Olivia Lane: George Dunn: Jessica Maxwell whispered down below, I knew youd have nothing good to say. Just a nice person act from an illiterate one. Daisy Zane ignored the reactions from the others, looked down at the entrance exam results sheet that was taped to the podium table, and slowly began to speak: I looked at the entrance exam results sheet. There are 46 students in our ss, and Marsh Turner is ranked 40th. And Olivia Lane was ranked 41st, with William Butch ranked 42nd. Their results were quite clustered. All the students in the ss stared at Daisy Zane, confused about why she was suddenly bringing this up and why the conversation took such an abrupt turn. Daisy Zane looked at the puzzled faces and said, Marsh Turner said he wants to be the grade topper in this mid-term exam. The whole ss was stunned: ????? Daisy Zane looked at George Dunn and Turner Daniel: Both of you were there when he said it, right? You both heard it. George, holding backughter, said, I can vouch for that. Turner Daniel nced at her and added, I heard it too. Celeste Martin looked utterly lost. Daisy Zane nodded, Since Marsh Turner isnt here today, we have to be men of our word. When we leave, everyone have to help supervise Marsh Turner. It took a while for the ss to gradually understand. Someoneughed and shouted, Daisy, well keep an eye on him for you. Yeah, well watch him. Daisy Zane nodded and continued at a slow pace, Marsh Turner will be a responsible person. So those ahead of him should be careful. As for those behind him I hope you follow Marsh Turners ranking and move forward together. The ss finally understood and fell silent, listening to Daisy Zane speak. Skyler Thomas also looked at her, her eyes more determined and confident. Their ss would be a champion ss. With Marsh Turner as the dividing line, its up to you who steps on whom, Daisy Zanes fingers tapped on the results sheet, speaking softly, Its only been a month since the start of school, so theres still a year left. Daisy Zane looked at each student, who seemed to be listening quietly and attentively, although their thoughts may have been elsewhere. Even if theyre thinking about working hard now, how long will the enthusiasmst? But she still said what she wanted to say. She looked around the ss onest time and finally set her eyes on Olivia Lane, Next September, I hope to see all of you on the Imperial Capital University admission list. Her words may not have much impact, and their short-lived enthusiasm might notst long. But what if someone takes the lead? She trusted both Marsh Turner and Olivia Lane, and she also had expectations for William Butch. In fact, the future of this ss is limitless. Daisy Zanes mouth curled into a smile, and her cold voice gave a sense of unshakable conviction: I hope you all make the most of your youth and enjoy a bright future. Chapter 355: 326: Bad Reputation Chapter 355: 326: Bad Reputation
Trantor:549690339 With twenty minutes left in the final ss, the director allowed the eight of them recording the program to leave early. Today is Friday, and many parents are arriving to pick up their children.
The traffic is gradually building up. And fearing the school entrance would be swarmed by paparazzi, the rk familys people came again. During lunch today, they had packed up their dormitory belongings, which were now ced in the dormitory buildings great hall. After leaving the teaching building, they went to the dormitory to get their luggage and walked out with the program staff. Oh my God, its finally over, said Serena Buster,I need to sleep all day tomorrow. Right, my spirit has been greatly tormented. said one of the boys. This money its not easy to earn. said another boy, I hope this show goes on for several seasons to torment other people too. Haha, youre so wicked, Serena Busterughed. As they walked out and saw the schools main gate, the first thing they noticed were the people standing guard at the entrance. Just like day one of recording, they were dressed in ck, hands behind their backs, standing straight, face expressionless. They didnt look like people to mess with.
Ive been wanting to ask since the first day we came to record, whispered one of the boys, where did these peoplee from? Theyre so intimidating. George Dunn knew but kept quiet. Turner Daniel recognized the rk familys emblem and nced at Daisy Zane but didnt say anything. Yeah, Ive been wanting to ask too, said another boy, I looked up their emblem, and it seems to belong to the rk family. Someone gasped, The rk family! Is it that rk family? What other rk family could it be? Celeste Martin listened to their conversation and looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane was chatting with Allonzo Hobson, not participating in their topic, nor paying attention to their gaze. Allonzo Hobson: [Brook Sister, James Butch said there is a follow-up video of the bathroom incident, where William Butch denies they hit him.] Daisy Zane kicked down the bathroom door, and initially, William Butch didnt say anything. Later when Skyler Thomas said he would take them to the principal, afraid of retaliation, William Butch immediately said that James Butch didnt hit him and that it was an ident. James and his friends also said that they did not hit anyone, just trying to help him up.
Daisy Zane replied to the message: [If he says it exists, let him produce the evidence.] All the recording devices areworked together. She intercepted the video by hacking into the program teams equipment. The subsequent part of the video was destroyed. Not only James Butch, even the program team couldnt find it. Allonzo Hobson: [Then I can rest assured. Actually, even if its found, it doesnt matter. Its just troublesome. This way is more convenient. Also, Brook Sister, you and George Dunn should be aware that since George is in the video, the police will find him.] Daisy Zane: [Mhm.] Not just George Dunn, she will also have to cooperate with the investigation tomorrow morning. After she replied to the message, they were still discussing the rk family. Why would the rk familys peoplee? Does our program team have such a big lineup to have the rks peoplee here as bodyguards? Since were part of the program team now, doesnt that mean they are acting as bodyguards for us? My God, I can brag about this for a lifetime. Hey, have you heard? They say Third Master rk is quite the yboy, with a constant stream of women around him.
Daisy Zane: Turner Daniel furrowed his brows. Serena Buster looked at Daisy Zane, her face showing concern. Celeste Martin watched her, a mocking smile shing in her eyes. Its just a fling, she still has a chance. Once Arthur North tires of her, she will have her chance. George Dunn listened and coughed lightly to remind them. But the gossip-loving trio didnt get the hint, and they even dragged George Dunn in, Brother George, you should know. Youre so close to Young Master Hobson. Third Master rk and Young Master Hobson often hang out together. George Dunn: Theyre just rumors. Really? But everyones talking about it with great detail, it seems very true. George Dunn: Yeah, I heard that Third Master rk dug a 25-acre lotus pond at his home. A single lotus flower costs tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands! Its just one flower! Daisy Zane, listening to them, thought: Its actually 25 acres. I heard that too. His lotus flowers are incredibly valuable, and he hires special people to take care of them. However, one year, he identally killed one. Third Master rk then The boy speaking made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand. At that, Serena Buster shuddered, as if facing a devil. Daisy Zane slowed her pace, looking at the boy with a sidelong nce. Looking at her seemingly ordinary demeanor, George Dunn could notprehend her current thoughts. All he could do was light an imaginary candle in his mind for the three brothers and pray. Not just that another boy chimed in, I heard that person ended up badly. How bad? Daisy Zane asked. George Dunn, Serena Buster, and Turner Daniel: .. Very bad. The boy said, Brook God, its best for a girl like you not to know, its too brutal. Daisy Zane nodded vaguely, Such a bad reputation almost everyone knows it now. That kind of person is not someone we can contact. But its also good we cant contact them, they are unpredictable, and life is uncertain when youre around them. George Dunn coughed lightly and signaled them to end the conversation, The entrance is almost in sight, lets all talk less. Everyone took the hint and stopped mentioning the rk family. As Daisy Zane walked with everyone while pulling her luggage, she suddenly nced left and backwards. She looked straight into Celeste Martins gaze. Her intention was to ignore the gaze, but it persisted on her, and she grew annoyed. Her cold stare immediately caused Celeste to stop in her tracks and sheepishly look away. Daisy Zane didnt linger on her for another second, directing her gaze forward once more. Upon reaching the entrance, everyone began to look for their respective assistants. Daisy Zane also looked around. Right when she saw Anisa Cooper hopping and waving at her, a person standing beside her came over. Everyone was still inside the school gates, and the assistants were outside, as the supervisor hadnt allowed them in. A person from the rk familys security team suddenly approached them, leaving onlookers in a brief state of confusion. They stared in shock as the man walked up to Daisy Zane, bent down, and respectfully said, Lady Zane, Third Master is waiting in the car. I can take your luggage over for you. Daisy Zane handed him her suitcase, Thank you. The three gossiping people froze as they stared at Daisy Zane. Last week when Director Nash called her boyfriend Third Master Everyone called that person from Yes family Third Master rk. So They were the same person! Third Master rk was her boyfriend! Thats why so many people were guarding the ce for her! Ah ah ah ah ah! What did they all say just now? What did they say! The program staff, who had been leading the group, had almost finished their tasks and were waiting for the students to leave school before dismantling the equipment. Director Nash came over and spoke a few words, then said, Everyone, go home for today. We will gather at noon tomorrow to discuss the next steps. Well, we will record some thoughts on the programs conclusion. Several people responded. Director Nash continued, Alright, lets go. So as not to disturb the order when the students leave schoolter. The group headed to the entrance, where their assistants came to greet them. Anisa Cooper rushed over and hugged Daisy Zane directly before separating again, Daisy, I missed you so much. Daisy Zane pinched her face, Its only been two weeks. But I feel like I havent seen you for so long. Anisa Cooper finished speaking and then exchanged greetings with others who had joined the show, especially Serena Buster and George Dunn, Daisy, lets go. Third Master is in the car. There are so many people here; he didnt get out. Alright. Daisy Zane agreed, then looked at George Dunn and the others. Her eyes signaled that she was leaving first. George Dunn and the others also nodded in response. Then Daisy Zane looked at the three stupefied people, paused for a moment, and said, Farewell, for now. After saying that, she left with Anisa Cooper. As for the three stupefied people, their expressions changed drastically all of a sudden. The fear of being on the brink of death was disyed unabashedly, even frightening their assistants. What they heard was not merely the four words Farewell, for now. Rather, it was as if a devil was whispering in their ears, Harton rk will personallye and slit your throats one by one to fertilize the lotus as manure! Chapter 356 - 327: Haven’t Been a Parent Long Enough? Chapter 356: Chapter 327: Havent Been a Parent Long Enough? Trantor: 549690339 Anisa Cooper traveled from Truro City in the original nanny car hired by a driver. Since Daisy Zane was almost confirmed that the new drama would take ce in Imperial Capital, she had the driver drive the car over. They even drove to the school entrance. After Kevin rk arrived, he saw her nannys car and got into the nannys car, waiting for Daisy Zane inside. Anisa Cooper hadnt seen Daisy Zane for two weeks, but she wasnt idle. She was always helping Hill Dawson with things in Truro City, and when she saw Daisy Zane, she couldnt wait to tell her all about the things she saw and all the gossip she heard over the past two weeks. The two of them walked towards the nannys car together, and just as they reached the car. Kevin rk in the car had already unbuckled the car door. Daisy Zane was suddenly called to a halt, Anisa Cooper turned to look. Kevin rk first nced at Daisy Zane, then he looked behind her. Daisy Zane also met his gaze for a moment before she turned to look behind her. Willow Martin, d in a school uniform, holding a small box in her hand, ran up to Daisy Zane. Because she ran too hurriedly, she became breathless by the time she reached Daisy Zane, and couldnt speak for a moment. Daisy Zane looked at her, waiting for her to get her breath back before speaking, What is it? Yes. Willow Martin held the small box in her hand, looking at her, Its a red rope that I prayed for on the mountain, a token for safety. As she spoke, her face gradually turned red. And she didnt dare to meet Daisy Zanes eyes. Daisy Zane watched her without saying anything. I found your birthday online, but I dont know if thats true or not, Willow Martin whispered, But I checked, and your name isnt a stage name. The grand master said the name would suffice, and I prayed for it sincerely. It can bring safety. Kevin rk watched this blushing little girl. He hadnt thought much about it at first, but the girls shy manner, and her way of looking at the miss it couldnt be described as innocent. His eyes narrowed, and he thought of when he was in the M Continent, when Logan had animosity towards him, and the possessiveness he would sometimes exhibit towards the little girl. Kevin rk clicked his tongue lightly in his heart. It seemed like rivals in love were everywhere, how was he supposed to know their gender? Seeing Daisy Zane not respond, Willow Martin grew more nervous, clenching the box in her hand, her face flushing even more. Daisy Zanes eyshes fluttered gently, pulling her suddenly wandering thoughts back, and she said, Youve skipped ss. Willow Martin wet her lower lip, I, Ive only been out for a moment. Ive been practicing really hard recently. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth, You did say you yed the Pipa, but I didnt find the time to listen. Kevin rk immediately grasped at the words Pipa. When Willow Martin heard this, even though she felt a bit regretful, and at that time she also thought Daisy Zane might have just said it casually: No, it doesnt matter. Perhaps one day, I could receive one of your concert tickets, Daisy Zane said lightly. Willow Martin looked up at her, her eyes bright and slowly filling with water vapor. She swallowed hard and touched her injured knuckles, Ill do my best. Mm, Ill be waiting, Daisy Zane stretched out her hand, Isnt this for me? Willow Martin quickly handed her the box. Daisy Zane took it, running her thumb over the box, Thank you. No, no problem. After she epted the gift, Willow Martin was ted and smiled shyly, I, Ill go back then. Or the teacher will notice. Mm. After Daisy Zane responded, Willow Martin looked at her for a moment, her eyes smiling, and then she ran off It wasnt until she went into the school that Daisy Zane retracted her gaze and looked at the box in her hand. It was prayed for with Daisy Zanes name, a protective charm. Little girl. Kevin rk called her. Daisy Zane looked up and then got into the car. But she had just got into the car and hadnt even sat down yet when she noticed there was another man in the back seat. He was dressed all in ck sportswear, wearing a ck mask. From the top of his mouth to his forehead on the left side of his face, everything was covered in scars. They were caused by burns. His right face was fine, and his right eye was very attractive. The man saw her looking over, subconsciously hiding his face. Ah, Daisy, Anisa Cooper said from outside the car, My Brother Miller is in the car. I forgot to tell you. Daisy Zane nodded to John Collins, then got out of the car again, turned to Anisa Cooper and said, Get on. Anisa Cooper wasughing as she got into the car, X sister, Brother Miller had something to do, so we just happened toe over together.. Chapter 357 - 327: Haven’t Been a Parent Long Enough? _2 Chapter 357: Chapter 327: Havent Been a Parent Long Enough? _2 Trantor: 549690339 Mmm. Daisy Zane responded, then got in the car and sat down. Once she was settled, Kevin rk finally handed her the roses he had bought. The show recording has finished sessfully. Daisy Zane gazed at the bunch of roses. She had also received flowers after the previous two TV series had wrapped up, and every bouquet was different. The Youth Experience Card has expired, Daisy Zane said distantly. Kevin rk chuckled, Shall I drop you off at school? Uncle rk, have you not had enough of ying parents? Daisy Zane turned to him. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane felt his resentment, pressed her lips together to suppress the corners of her lips from curling up and refrained from looking at him. Kevin rk sucked in his breath lightly, squeezed her face, forcing her to look at him, If I hear those two words again Ill Youll? Anisa Cooper looked at them both with wide-open eyes. John Collins sat next to her, nced at the two people in front, then turned to look at Anisa Cooper, who was full of curiosity. Ill Kevin rk looked at her, his energy slowly fizzling out. Indeed, there was nothing at the moment that could threaten her anymore. Nevermind. John Collins: Anisa Cooper got the expected response, she pressed her lips together, secretly smirking. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, removed his hand from her face, and ced her hand in his. She took her cell phone with her other hand and began scrolling through her messages. Kevin rk held her hand, gently pinching her knuckles. Where should we go? Rose Garden, Daisy Zane replied. Gael Easton is still in the vi, I dont want to see him. Kevin rk could feel that the girl was still holding grudges because of Gaels words from the other night. Why hasnt he left yet? Soon. He cant stay out for long, Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk didnt say anything more. Its true, if Gael is intending to be the heir, he cant stay away from home for long. The car fell silent for a while. Daisy Zane then asked, Naomi, how long will you be staying in Imperial Capital? There is only a rough structure for the script now, and the shooting date is not yet set. She doesnt perform at any other events, so Anisa didnt need to stay along with her all the time. Hmm Were nning to stay for a long time. Anisa Cooper finished speaking, then smiled, Once we rent a ce and have everything in order, Ill go back to Truro City to help Sister Emily with things. Isnt Sister Emilying to Imperial Capital to start a studio? Yeah, all the preparations are being made, Anisa Cooper replied. Once the studio is established, if you are not shooting somewhere else, Lucia, Ill be staying in Imperial Capital often. Brother Miller has also found a job in Imperial Capital. Ill try to go out of town as much as possible, Daisy Zane said whilst busy with her phone. I want you guys to experience long-distance rtions frequently. Kevin rk burst into a silent chuckle at herments C he was teasing again. John Collins: Lucia would never do that. Anisa Cooperughed and then leaned forward: Lucia, do you know anyone from Easton Group? Daisy Zane nced at Kevin rk, then asked Anisa Cooper, Why? Is someone from Easton Group bullying you? Kevin rk: No, not at all, Anisa Cooper replied. Brother Miller is going to start working at Easton Group in two days time. I heard that the senior boss of Easton Group is really mysterious, no one even knows their name or gender. Also, I heard that the Easton Group is not just rich, it also has a powerful backing. Im a little scared Kevin rk and Daisy Zane both turned their heads to look at John Collins. Subconsciously, John Collins shrank back a little. Daisy Zane said, Thats strong. Anisa Coopers eyes sparkled like stars, her face full of adoration: My Brother Miller is so capable. Ahem John Collins coughed lightly, and pulled Anisa Cooper over, Naomi Indeed extraordinary, Daisy Zane agreed. No, there was some element of luck involved, John Collins humbly replied. Easton only recognizes ability, Kevin rk said. Theres no such thing as luck to get into Easton Group. John Collins rubbed the hand hed ced on his leg. Kevin rk projected an aura so powerful, its as if he was born to be a king, which made people awe-stricken. Although Anisa Cooper was also somewhat afraid of Kevin rk, her fear dissipated significantly when Daisy Zane was around: Lucia, do you know anyone from Easton Group? Theres very few people who can get into Easton Group. Its making me uneasy. The boss of Easton Daisy Zane turned to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow. Anisa Cooper stretched her neck to listen. Easton Group is fine. You can rest assured, Daisy Zane said. In terms of the boss of Easton were not that close and I havent looked too much into it. Kevin rk gritted his teeth, the devilish expression on his face made him look like a savage wolf. Daisy Zane pretended not to see. Thats good, thats good. If Lucia says theres no problem, then there must be no problem, Anisa Cooper said. Where are you staying tonight? Daisy Zane asked. Weve booked a hotel, Anisa Cooper responded. But there was a problem with the booking tforms system and our order was dyed. Thats why I brought Brother Miller along. You can stay at my ce for the few days while youre renting a ce. You have the address, just contact Wilton Edwards directly, Daisy Zane said. No need for that, Lucia. Weve booked a hotel for one week, Anisa Cooper said without thinking. A luxury couple suite. Ahem John Collins was choked by his own saliva. Daisy Zane was messaging Charles Amos, and upon hearing her words, she stopped typing, looking at her. Once Anisa Cooper noticed that Daisy Zane had looked over, she realized what she had just said and her face turned instantly red. She shrank back a little into her seat. Underneath his mask, John Collins quirked up the corner of his lips and softly squeezed Anisa Coopers hand. Daisy Zane looked at her for two seconds, took her eyes off her, then said slowly, Naomi, remember to let me know when you get married. Confused as to why Daisy Zane would suddenly say this, Anisa Cooper whispered, Of course, Ill let Lucia know. But when I passed the interview, I told Sister Emily I wouldnt get married in three years When you do get married, Ill give you a luxury couple suite, Daisy Zane interrupted her. Now, even Anisa Coopers neck had turned red. Chapter 358 - 328 Chapter 358: Chapter 328 Trantor: 549690339 Arriving at the Rose Garden, Daisy Zane went back to her room first and changed her clothes. She randomly picked a skirt and came out from the cloakroom. But as she tried to leave the room, Kevin rk blocked her way back in. Kevin rk looked down at her, his school uniform off, exuding an icy and breathtaking aura. The restrained demeanor he had while wearing the uniform disappearedpletely. What? Daisy retreated a few steps, cornered by him. Kevin rk trapped her in a dead angle, looking down at her, his narrow eyes seemingly capable of sucking people in. Little girl, Im now the boss of Easton Group. Oh, then we arent familiar. Really? Kevin stepped closer, Since were not familiar how about we get to know each other better? Daisy Zane: Hm? Daisy put her hand on his shoulder, not letting him get any closer. Third Master its not evenpletely dark yet, keep your thoughts clean. Kevin raised his eyebrows andughed softly, Where are my thoughts unclean? Daisy Zane: Getting to know each other better, exchanging hearts, do we have to wait until itspletely dark? Kevin asked, kissing her ear gently. Whats unclean about that? Daisy Zane: Little girl, what are you thinking? Kevins voice was filled withughter, like a bewitching demon. Daisy looked at him, her eyes growing colder by the second. And just as Kevin thought he might get hit if he continued to tease her, Daisy punched him in the ribs. Hiss - Kevin leaned on the wall, bending over instantly. Daisy, whose hand had been resting on his shoulder, gently pushed him away. She then nced at him indifferently, opened the door, and left. The door opened and then closed again. Kevin leaned against the wall, his hand over his ribs. Seeing the little girl didnt seem to show any remorse for her actions, his heart sank He lowered his hand, stood up straight, chuckled lightly, and left the room too. It seems she was really annoyed, but the strength of the punch wasnt too harsh. Kevin also went back to his room and changed into more casual clothes. When he went downstairs, Daisy was sitting on the carpet arranging flowers. She was trimming the roses hed bought in the afternoon and was cing them in a vase. What do you want for dinner? Daisy nced at him and replied, Red Date and Lotus Seed Porridge. Do you want me to cook? Do you have time? Yes. Kevin walked over to her, patting her head. You y by yourself for a while. Do you have a spareputer? Theres one in the study upstairs, feel free to use it. Kevin said. Arent you worried that Ill steal Eastons secrets? Kevin leaned over, looking at her, With me here, do you need to steal? Just ask me if you want to know something. Daisys mouth curled up slightly. Kevin kissed the corner of her lips, Go ahead. At one oclock early in the morning, everything was gradually falling asleep. In Daisys vi, Gael Easton had been dealing with jeg for a week and still hadnt gotten used to it. At one oclock, he was still wide awake. As he chatted with people from M Continent, he went downstairs to find a bottle of wine to open. He didnt turn on the light and relied on his memory to find the wine in the dark. Having found the wine and corkscrew by fumbling in the dark, he was just about to open the wine when he suddenly heard some faint noises. After spending years in M Continent, Gael Eastons alertness was extremely high. He turned off the screen of his cell phone, propped himself up with both hands on the marble counter, and quietly listened to the faint sounds in the night. Before he could fully determine the direction, the sound of breaking ss came from upstairs. His expression turned sharp, as he immediately thought of Charles Amos and ran upstairs without hesitation. Just as he reached the entrance to the staircase, he heard Charles shout, Grandpa Edwards! Gael arrived at Charles room door in record time and kicked the door open, switching on the light along the way. The ceiling light in the room came on, and Gael closed his eyes for a brief moment. No time to adjust to the brightness, he opened his eyes again. There were two men dressed in ck in the room,pletely covered in ck clothing, not showing even a bit of skin. One of them held Charles under his arm. The rooms window ss had shattered, and the debrisy scattered all around. The two men were moving toward the window. It seemed that they wanted to take Charles away. Being suddenly interrupted by Gaels arrival, the two men instinctively halted, ncing at him. Uncle Easton, Charles saw Gael and called out for him again. This was the first time Gael had heard Charles address him as uncle since they had known each other. Gael didnt think too much about it and immediately went forward to try and grab Charles back. At the same moment when Gael shed with the men, Wilton Edwards arrived on the scene. Upon seeing this, Wilton didnt hesitate for a second and immediately went to help. There had always been guards posted around the vis perimeter, but for those exceptionally skilled, it was still possible to sneak in. As themotion in the room escted, sounds of fighting could be heard around the vi. More than two men in ck had arrived. However, the others hadnt managed to enter the vi. These two men in ck were highly skilled and strong. However, both Gael and Wilton also possessed top-tier skills. Moreover, the enemies were burdened with holding Charles, inevitably limiting their movements. If it had been just Wilton alone today, he might not have been able to defeat the two of them. But with Gael there, the two of them were more than a match for the men in ck. Wilton, were just taking the young master back. If you know whats good for you,e back with us, one of the men said. Wilton blocked his fist while simultaneously striking back. The other man dodged and replied, Thedy has said that no one can take the young master away. Wilton, dont be stubborn. The man tried again, Thedy will eventually return, too. Henry Kirsten has already rebuilt his entire power base. How long do you think you canst in the outside world? Go fuck yourselves! Gael suddenly snapped, So, its Henry Kirstens men! What if hes rebuilt his power base? We destroyed him once, we can do it again. As Gael spoke, he stabbed the corkscrew into the mans shoulder. With a muffled grunt of pain, the man almost dropped Charles. Seeing this, the man fighting with Wilton called out, Withdraw! Upon hearing this, the man holding Charles immediately threw Charles in their direction. Gaels expression changed, and he moved to catch Charles. Wilton didnt spare a thought for anything else other than catching Charles either. Since shouting Uncle Easton earlier, Charles hadnt uttered another word. He didnt want to cause any more chaos or disturb Wiltons thoughts. Gael caught Charles and took a few steps back until he was stopped by Wiltons support. By that time, the two men had already jumped out of the window and fled. Jeez, how did you get so heavy? Despite his words of disdain, Gael still held Charles tightly. Charles quickly hugged his neck tightly, gripping it tightly as his whole body trembled lightly. Wilton hurriedly checked Charles body, his previous aggressiveness fading away, reced by concern. It was as if the decisive general on the battlefield had transformed into a worried old father: Young master, are you hurt anywhere? Does anything hurt? Chapter 359 - 329: Like Me Chapter 359: Chapter 329: Like Me Trantor: 549690339 After dinner, Daisy Zane took herputer back to her room, looking up materials and finding many campus bullying cases. Those who made it through, the tragedies that urred, living life with shadows She went through those cases one by one, and it wasnt until past eleven oclock that she fell asleep on the bay window, hugging herputer. After dinner, Kevin rk went to the study room to sort things out. Around 1:30, he checked the time, put down what he had in hand, and went back to his room to check on the little girl. Then he saw the little girl sleeping on the bay window, and the window was open. Even the window on the balcony on the other side was open. He slightly frowned and stepped closer to see that Daisy Zanes forehead and neck were covered with beads of sweat. Her brows were also slightly furrowed. Kevin rk looked at theputer in her arms and then reached out to touch her face, Little girl. Daisy Zane furrowed her brows again, and two secondster, she slowly opened her eyes. However, she didnt look up at Kevin rk. She felt Kevin rks approach, and that made here out of her dream. Kevin rks thumb rubbed her face, waiting for a moment, and then he called her again, Little girl. Daisy Zane blinked her eyshes gently, and then pressed her brow, Im alright. Kevin rk ced theputer aside, sat beside her, and asked softly, Whats wrong? Did you have a nightmare? I dreamt about Jack Amos. Kevin rk clenched his fingers and picked up a nket from the side to drape it over her. Daisy Zane allowed him to wrap the nket around her, but she said, I feel hot. Youll catch a cold after sweating. Kevin rk held the nket, pulled Daisy Zane forward, and kissed her on the corner of her lips. All the windows are open. Daisy Zane didnt say anything more. What did you dream about Jack Amos? What did Wilton Edwards tell you? Daisy Zane countered. Kevin rks expression paused for a moment, and then he said, Almost the same as what you have thought. Daisy Zane nodded knowingly, and then whispered after pausing for a moment, Im not so sure about Jack Amos identity ?He seems to know some things about Edward Kirsten and seems to be after some of Edward Kirstens affairs. Kevin rk held her hand and listened quietly. Edward Kirsten has always suspected him. He doubted his identity, doubted his sincerity towards Harris Kirsten, and doubted that he approached Harris Kirsten to investigate him, Daisy Zane said. But Edward Kirsten has been suspicious for many years and couldnt find any evidence. Besides, Jack Amos is his brother-inw. Harris Kirsten liked Jack Amos very much, and Edward Kirsten didnt have any evidence, so he couldnt make a move. How do you feel about it? Kevin rk asked. Hes not simple, but ?he really loves Harris Kirsten, Daisy Zane said. His identity is indeedplicated, but his love for her is true. Daisy Zanebed her hair backward and closed her eyes. Indeed, even without me, Jack Amos ending might not be too good. But ?he also died because of me. If someone else had helped me escape, the oue would still be death. You took Charles Amos out of that ce, which is the best constion for him, Kevin rk said. Thats all I can do. Daisy Zane messed up her hair as she pushed it back, leaned against the bay window, and curled up one leg, But ?Charles Amos didnt give me anyfort. He ?is too strange-looking. He doesnt look like anyone. Not even like Edward Kirsten. Although she didnt remember Edward Kirstens face, her nephew Charles Amos didnt look like his uncle in the slightest. He doesnt look like Harris Kirsten, and he doesnt look like Jack Amos either. If he resembled Harris or Jack Amos, she could recall the past when she looked at him. If he looked like Edward Kirsten, he might even help her find Edward Kirsten. But he ?doesnt look like anyone. Dont they all say that Charles Amos looks like me? Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane: Fate, I guess. He ?isnt as good-looking as you, Daisy Zane said. Hearing this, Kevin rk lowered his head and smiled. But just as he lowered his head, his smile froze on his lips. Daisy Zane was wearing a silk nightgown tonight, and as she bent her leg, the nightgown slipped down From where Kevin rk was sitting, with his head down, it was indeed ?convenient. His smile disappeared from the corner of his lips, and after a moment, he picked up another nket and covered her legs with it. Daisy Zane hadnt noticed at first, but when he covered her with the nket, it dawned on her, and she instinctively put her leg down. Kevin rk looked up at her, and theughter in his eyes deepened. But just as he was about to say something, Daisy Zanes phone suddenly rang, and the words he was about to say got stuck in his mouth. Chapter 360 - 329 Like Me _2 Chapter 360: Chapter 329 Like Me _2 Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane nced at her cell phone. The note there was a chaos. It was the note she had reced for Holt Lawrence. She answered the phone and said, Speak. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow. Holt Lawrences voice was somewhat hollow. Right as he began speaking he said, Nana, I have something to tell you. Dont get angry. Hmm. Go on. Well, that that Holt Lawrence stammered for a moment, then gathered his courage and quickly said, William Butch attempted suicide. Hes in the hospital now, but hes been resuscitated. People are watching him around the clock. Daisy Zanes expression suddenly turned cold: What happened? Weve been secretly following him. Anyone who attempted to approach him was turned away, said Holt Lawrence. But I checked just now. Today oh, its past midnight now. Yesterday morning, after William Butch left home, the Butch family went to visit his grandmothers house. Daisy Zane looked down. Our people kept following William Butch, paying no attention to his grandmothers house, said Holt Lawrence. Yesterday evening, after William Butch returned home, he went out again within two hours. Then took a taxi straight to the beach. He jumped into the sea? Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane, but he couldnt hear what was being said on the phone. No, he just fell over while he was standing by the sea, said Holt Lawrence. Our people immediately took him to the hospital. Arge amount of sedative was detected in his blood. Its a good thing we got him to the hospital in time, otherwise we wouldnt have been able to save him. After he finished speaking, Daisy Zane stayed silent for a while before saying, Keep an eye on him for now. Hmm, Holt Lawrence replied. I guess his grandma must have said something to him. Its hard to understand why he would be so desperate. He is just at the prime of his life. He almost lost his future. Daisy Zane didnt listen to him prattling on and just hung up the phone. Kevin rk asked, What happened? William Butch attempted suicide and was hospitalized. Hes stabilized now. I heard Xavier Dominic say something about it. His family has a heavy responsibility, Kevin rk said. Perhaps the thoughts that were instilled in him from a young age were problematic Kevin rk did not finish his words before the phone rang again. Both of them frowned almost simultaneously. Kevin rk was simply annoyed because his words were constantly being interrupted, while Daisy Zane assumed it was another call from Holt Lawrence. But just as she picked up her phone about to hang up, she noticed that it was Wilton Edwards calling. Daisy Zane immediately sat up straight and answered the phone: Uncle Wilton? Miss Wilton Edwards could only utter these two words before he was reced by Gael Easton on the phone, You brat, where the hell are you? Get back here now! Edward Kirstens people have invaded your vi, and Charles Amos is terrified! With a bellowing rage, Gael Eastons voice was so loud that Kevin rk could hear it clearly. Daisy Zane immediately headed for the cloakroom, her voice cold as frost: How are Charles Amos and Uncle Wilton? Uncle Wilton is fine. Charles Amos is scared. Hes shaking. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane quickly departed, mostly in silence during their journey. Edward Kirstens people had invaded her vi, which meant that Edward Kirstens power had been restored. Having already experienced defeat once, this newly formed power could only be stronger than before. A powerful force lurking in the shadows. Throughout their journey, Daisy Zane kept recalling familiar images from the bombing of Edward Kirstens base, to their escape from Continent A, down to their life in Continent A. When she had left Continent A, Charles Amos was only three years old. Barely old enough to remember anything. Although Charles Amos hardly remembered life in Continent A, he was terrified of Edward Kirsten. At that time, whenever Edward Kirsten approached him, he would cry his face turning purple, his whole body trembling. Daisy Zane didnt know what Edward Kirsten had done to him, but ever since that time, she kept Edward Kirsten from getting close to him. As the car drove into the vi, before it couldpletelye to a stop, Daisy Zane got out. Being obvious signs of a fight around the vi, Daisy Zane didnt bother looking closely and went straight into the living room. In the living room, Uncle Wilton was holding Charles Amos, constantly patting his back. Gael Easton was pacing inrge strides around the room. As soon as Daisy Zane entered the living room, both Uncle Wilton and Gael Easton looked her way. But Charles Amos, burying his head in Uncle Wiltons shoulder, didnt move. He only lifted his head when Uncle Wilton stood up and called out Miss. Charles Amos then nced over. Daisy Zane walked over, holding Charles Amoss gaze. Charles Amoss face was extremely pale, with red-rimmed eyes, but he wasnt crying. His little hands gripped tightly onto Uncle Wiltons clothes. After a few seconds of eye contact, Daisy Zane spoke, her tone light: Not crying thats progress. Chapter 361 - 329 Like Me _3 Chapter 361: Chapter 329 Like Me _3 Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk raised an eyebrow. Just now he was so anxious that he wished he could fly over, but now hes stubborn about it. Gael Easton: Charles Amos sneered but continued to watch her. After a few seconds, Daisy Zane took him from Wilton Edwards arms and held him. Only then did she realize that Charles was still trembling slightly. What are you afraid of? Charles hugged her neck, his face buried in her shoulder, and it took him a while to say, Its him. He wants to take me away. Hearing him speak, Wilton let out a sigh of relief. From just now until now, Charles hadnt said a single word. Hearing Charless words, Daisy looked at Wilton. Wilton nodded, Fortunately, Mr. Easton discovered it in time, otherwise Young Master might have been taken away. Daisy looked at Gael Easton again. Gael Easton turned his face away proudly, thinking: Just say thank you, and I will not end the friendship with you. As a result Daisy ignored him and sat directly on the sofa. Gael Easton waited for two seconds, then another two seconds, but still didnt hear her speak. So he looked at her and said, Stinky girl Daisy didnt even look at him, Shut up. Gael Easton: Kevin rk raised the corner of his mouth, sat next to Daisy, and rubbed Charless head. Gael Easton could feel Kevins smugness and showing off. This man Do you know who it is? Daisy asked. They know me, Wilton said, But as for who it is specifically, I dont know. There were too many people who knew Wilton, and it was impossible for him to remember everyones voice. Gael sat on the single sofa across from Kevin, tapping his leg, and casually said, Its a small matter. Just thwart them once more. Im very familiar with this sort of thing. Kevin looked up at him. Their gazes met in mid-air, and the smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire living room. Gael was secretly delighted, finally regaining some ground. Hehe, thats right, we fought side by side many years ago. When she left Continent A, I contributed a lot. What can a neer like you do? Kevin looked at him for a moment, then said, Indeed, its not a big deal. But Mr. Easton, since you cant even manage your own affairs, do you still have the energy to intervene in other matters? Just let me handle the little girls affairs, and you should worry about yourself. Gael Easton, who always spoke directly, met his match in someone as sarcastic as Kevin, whose sarcastic remarks hit him where it hurt. I dont want to go back, Charles suddenly whispered. Even if you want to, its impossible, Daisy said coldly. Wilton said, We caught a few people, but they were all unfamiliar faces. I doubt we could find anything useful from them. And they urately found Young Masters room. Daisy Zane was silent for a while, then said, Lets move to another ce. This ce had probably been thoroughly investigated, so no matter how much they strengthened their defenses, it would still be dangerous. Lets go to rk Manor, Kevin said. Everyone looked at Kevin rk. Kevin looked at Daisy and said, Its the safest ce. No ce could possibly be impregnable, and even if there were guards, there would still be risks if someone was intent on causing trouble orunching a desperate attack. Even Kevins Rose Vi would have the same risks. But rk Manor was different. rk Manor was impregnable. No one could infiltrate it from the outside, and it wouldnt sumb to a powerful assault. Unless there was a traitor inside the house. But the chances of rk Manor harboring a traitor were practically zero. Lets go back to the M Continent, my home is safe too, Gael Easton said, unwilling to be outdone. Daisy and Kevin looked at him together, and although they didnt say anything, their brief nces seemed to say: Are you kidding? Wilton suggested, Let Young Master go over there. Their goal is not me, Ill be safe wherever I am. Kevin was waiting for Daisys decision. But Daisy said, Everyone, go get some rest first. Seeing that she didnt agree, Gaelughed out loud. Kevin shot him a nce. I dont want to sleep by myself, Charles suddenly said. Daisy looked down at him, eyeing his pitiful expression, and said, Then you sleep in the living room. There are so many fish to apany you. Charles pouted angrily. Wilton wisely remained silent. Sleep with me, Kevin said. Charles looked at him without speaking. Kevin knew exactly what was on his little mind. He stood up and directly took Charles from Daisys arms, Lets go, Ill take you to bed. Charles was held by him and looked at Daisy. He struggled a bit. But he soon calmed down. Because Daisys expression clearly told him. Either sleep with Kevin or sleep alone. So hepromised and chose Kevin. As they walked upstairs, they passed by Gael Eastons room first. Gael opened the door and said to Daisy, Stinky girl, my bed is very big. Want to sleep together? Kevin stopped in his tracks and looked at him. Gael looked back at him provocatively. Just as Kevin was about to put Charles down and take action, Daisy took the initiative and kicked Gael back into his room and closed the door. She had maintained world peace. Caught off guard by the sudden kick, Gael staggered forward, his long wolf-tail hair still trailing behind him. When Daisy closed the door, it almost caught his hair. You stinky girl! Gael shouted from the room, even making a move to open the door again. Daisy said, If youe out, one of us has to see blood today. Gael fell silent, and he behaved himself. Chapter 362 - 330: My Own Home Chapter 362: Chapter 330: My Own Home Trantor: 549690339 Returning to the room, Kevin changed Charles clothes and let him lie down on the bed. And he sat down on a chair nearby. Charles, with his wide-open eyes, showed no signs of sleepiness. He looked at Kevin and asked, Arent you going to sleep? You sleep first. Are you nning to sneak away after I fall asleep? Charles looked at him and said. I wasnt nning on it, but now that youve mentioned it , Kevin replied, Im starting to consider it. Charles pursed his lips and stared at him. Kevin patted him on the head and said, Go to sleep, I wont leave. Really? Mm-hmm. But Im not sleepy. As Kevin squinted his eyes, Charles immediately closed his own. Although he imed not to be sleepy, Charles fell asleep in less than five minutes. But only ten seconds after closing his eyes, he grabbed the corner of Kevins clothes C not letting go until he fell asleep. Kevin looked down at the little hand and gently pinched it after a moment. The little girl said he didnt resemble anyone. But maybe its because he had spent so much time with the little girl, he actually shared many simrities with her. The tone, demeanor, and asional nces were all very alike. After waiting for a while, Kevin saw that Charles showed no signs of waking up. He gently removed Charles hand from his clothes, and put it under the nket. He wanted to check on Daisy Zane. Edward Kirstens people had arrived in the Imperial Capital. He worried that the little girl might be upset. As he was about to get up from the chair, the bedroom door was pushed open. Kevin looked up and saw Daisy Zane close the door ande in. He raised his eyebrows and watched her approach. Daisy, as usual, maintained a cold demeanor, but her lips had deepened in color. She nced at the sleeping Charles, Fell asleep so quickly. Mm. Kevin touched her face which was slightly warm, Why did youe over? Daisy looked at him and hesitated, I didnt want to sleep alone. Her voice and her expression were no different than usualindifferent, distant, cold, and repelling. Even sounding a bit arrogant. But Kevin could feel her heart drawing close. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips, So Kevin looked at Charles. Daisy also looked at Charles and said softly, Wilton Edwards has not slept. Kevin raised his eyebrows. Then, Daisy called Wilton Edwards toe upstairs and the two of them went to Daisys room. So when Charles woke up in the morning and discovered all this, he was angry and refused to talk to them all morning. But the two of them didnt care whether he was angry or not and simply ignored him. Thus, Charles became even angrier. After having breakfast, Charles sat on the sofa, fuming. Daisy came out of the restaurant and said to him, Pack your luggage. Charles and Wilton Edwards looked at her. Wilton Edwards, you should also pack the things you normally use. Daisy said. Miss, where are we going? Wilton Edwards asked. rk Manor. Daisy originally wanted to take Charles to Celestial Pivot, but Kevin convinced her that rk Manor was indeed safe. She also liked rk Manor. Moreover, regarding Celestial Pivot Daisy was not very confident about Holt Lawrence. She couldnt imagine Charles growing up with unkempt beard and messy hair, sitting in front of aputer day and night. Wilton Edwards hesitated for a moment upon hearing the two words, Miss, you can take the young master there. I am old and may not adapt to the new environment. You have to go. Daisys attitude was firm. Miss Wilton Edwards, you know very well that you are the most unsafe, Daisy looked at him, her tone colder than usual due to her resolute attitude. Of course, Wilton Edwards knew he was the most unsafe. He first had no blood rtion to Edward Kirsten, and second, he was not someone Edward Kristen valued. Most importantly, to Edward Kirsten, he was a traitor. The most dangerous person was him. But Charles was growing up healthily, and Daisy had found her destination. Everything was moving towards a better future, and it was time for him to face the past. Uncle Wilton, do you think that Edward Kirsten cant threaten me by using you? Daisy Zane asked. Kevin rk stood beside her, watching her. Miss, I do everything voluntarily, Uncle Wilton said, If one day I have to face Henry Kirsten, it will also be my choice. Miss, you dont have to worry about me being threatened by anyone. You have toe with me today, Daisy Zane said coldly. Upon hearing Uncle Wiltons words, Charles Amos promptly ran over and hugged his leg: Grandpa Edwards. Uncle Wilton looked down at Charles Amos and patted his head. Grandpa Edwards, Im not grown up yet, Charles Amos whispered. Uncle Wiltons heart softened, and his eyes immediately turned red. Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze from Charles Amos and said indifferently, If there is nothing to pack, just buy it there. I, Ill pack a few things, Uncle Wilton said. Again, Daisy Zane looked at Charles Amos: You, pack your own things. Charles Amos didnt say anything, still hugging Uncle Wiltons leg. Daisy Zanes expression grew colder, and Charles Amos immediately said, Ill go right away. After that, he jogged up to the upper floor. Uncle Wilton nced upstairs and said, What about Mr. Easton Gael Easton hadnt woken up yet. Let him stay here, Daisy Zane said, There are still a few things to move here. Let him take a look at the house before he leaves. Uncle Wilton: .. Kevin rkughed: Make the best use of everything. Hmm. Kevin rk drove Charles Amos and Uncle Wilton to rk Manor. While they were packing their things, he arranged everything at home. When they arrived at the entrance of rk Manor, Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane and said, My dad went to the Theatre Garden with my mom early this morning. Want to go in and take a look? Daisy Zane took a look at the main entrance of rk Manor: Not now. Ill visit next time. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows at her words. I came here today mainly because I was afraid that Uncle Wilton would jump out of the car halfway, Daisy Zane saidzily. Uncle Wilton cleared his throat and said awkwardly, Miss, youre overthinking it. Kevin rk smiled and said to Uncle Wilton, Uncle Wilton, when I informed my family, my parents had already gone out. Sorry for the inconvenience. Youre too polite, Young Master, Uncle Wilton said, Its me whos disturbing. Not at all, Kevin rk said, Its only a matter of time before we bring you and Charles Amos here. Dont treat yourself as a guest. Uncle Wilton nced at Daisy Zane. Sensing his gaze, Daisy Zane said without looking up, Hmm, its your home. Kevin rk smiled, spoke a few words with the people who came to carry the luggage, and then said to Uncle Wilton, There are many nts and flowers in my courtyard. Ill have to trouble you. Of course, of course. After Uncle Wilton and Charles Amos entered rk Manor, Kevin rk drove Daisy Zane to the police station. Weve already increased our efforts to investigate the Imperial Capital, Kevin rk said, Ill have someone follow you recently. Daisy Zane looked up at him: Are you afraid Ill be taken away? Kevin rk indeed had this concern. Third Master its on your territory. Kevin rk: Actually, they cant take Charles Amos or Uncle Wilton away, can they? Yes, Kevin rk said, Even if they took Charles Amos out of the vist night, they couldnt leave the Imperial Capital. This was the confidence of the rk Family. However, as a bargaining chip to threaten Daisy Zane, the safety of Charles Amos and Uncle Wilton might not be guaranteed. Edward Kirsten was a madman who could do anything. If he wanted to force her, he could hurt Charles Amos and Uncle Wilton without leaving the Imperial Capital. Kevin rk obviously realized this, so both of them decided to have them move to a new ce without hesitation. Isnt it better to cooperate both inside and outside? After being quiet for a while, Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Hearing her words, Kevin rk suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside. He looked at her seriously and said, Little girl, you shouldnt have such thoughts. Daisy Zane looked at him obliquely. The oppressive feeling of an ungentle Kevin rk was indeed too strong. It felt like the pressure prated her body, squeezing her heart directly. If you dare to have such thoughts, Ill lock you up in rk Manor, Kevin rk said softly. Daisy Zane looked at him for a while. Although Kevin rks aura made her ufortable, she still joked without changing her expression, Third Master, ying confinement, isnt it a bit wild? Dont y around with me, Kevin rk said seriously. Daisy Zane: Little girl, Im not joking. Hmm. I understand, Daisy Zane replied. Chapter 363 - 331: Protecting the Husband Chapter 363: Chapter 331: Protecting the Husband Trantor: 549690339 Both of them remained silent all the way to the entrance of the police station. Kevin rk followed her inside, saying, Everything inside has been handled, just a routine procedure; they need to ask you some questions. Okay, Daisy Zane replied. Kevin rk nced at her, and after a while, his reddish thin lips pursed lightly and asked, Are you angry? Daisy Zane looked up at him and saw his suddenly flustered color and traces of regret. After a moment, she said, Yeah. Kevin rks heart sank. His tone just now was too heavy, I Theres an ice cream shop a kilometer away from here. Daisy Zane expressionlessly interrupted him, We passed it just now. Kevin rks words were stuck in his mouth. It was stuck, and his throat hurt a bit. Daisy Zane looked at him. After a few seconds of eye contact, Kevin rk gritted his teeth, sensing that he had fallen into a trap. But if he refused, the little girl might really get angry, Ill buy it for you on the way back. Ive been craving it since we left. Hearing her words, Kevin rk suddenly chuckled. The little girls rare willfulness. Although her tone and demeanor havent changed, he thought that the little girl should be like this. Being pampered loved, a bit capricious, a bit self-centered. Just like in Continent A, her yful banter with Edward Kirsten. Ill apany you in, exin the situation, and you cooperate with the investigation. Ill go out to buy it in the meantime. Daisy Zane nodded her head, turned around, and walked towards the police station. As she turned around, the corners of her lips curved up for a moment. The police stations inquiry went quickly, while Kevin rks ice cream purchase took much longer, with a long queue. So by the time Kevin rk returned to the police station, Daisy Zane was already waiting at the entrance. How long have you been waiting? Daisy Zane took the ice cream from his hand. In such a big box, there were only two small scoops of ice cream. She nced at Kevin rk indifferently. There was a hint of a smile in Kevin rks eyes, and his intentional teasing was very obvious. Daisy Zane looked at the ice cream again. Well, its better to have some than none. Third Master, your apologycks sincerity. So, is the little girl being genuine about her anger? Daisy Zane said, Fine Kevin rk touched her face, Dont eat too much cold stuff; your period ising soon. Daisy Zane didnt say anything else and followed Kevin rk into the car. Kevin rk fastened her seat belt and asked, Where to? Fog Mountain Restaurant, Daisy Zane replied, Theres a recording for the end of the show. Alright. Although Fog Mountain Restaurant couldntpare to the Doomsday Hotel, it was still a renowned ce in the Imperial Capital. So those who coulde here were not short of money. It was just a shows finale; everyone sat together, ate, and chatted. Twenty minutes of material was recorded in over two hours. After the recording, the camera equipment was removed, and everyone continued to chat for a while. Those three gossiping on Friday; as soon as the equipment was removed, they immediately took their wine and walked to Daisy Zanes side to apologize for their inappropriate remarks. Brook God The three of us want to apologize to you. We shouldnt have talked nonsense yesterday afternoon. Right, right. Yes, yes. We shouldnt have talked nonsense. What nonsense did you talk about? Director Nash asked curiously. We One of the boys nced at the people sitting around the table and didnt know how to start. They said Kevin rk likes to y around, is fickle, and there is a constant stream of women around him, Daisy Zane said indifferently. Ahem! Ahem, ahem Director Nash choked on his wine, looking at them in disbelief. Who gave you daring The legs of the three standing guys felt somewhat weak. They finally made it to today, and because of one sentence they were afraid that not only their careers would be ruined, but even their lives might be in danger. Brook, Brook God We were wrong. The boy held his wine, Brook God, Ill take three drinks as punishment. As he spoke, he was about to tilt his head back and drink the wine. But Daisy Zane stopped him with a gesture. The boy sensed that there was no room for negotiation and his heart sank even further. Its over, its over, its all over Everyone was looking at her. Daisy Zane looked up at the three of them and said, Kevin rk His reputation indeed isnt great. The three boys were somewhat confused. Celeste Martin was also looking at her. She thought to herself: Knowing he has a bad reputation, and still cozying up to him is because she sees his identity or the background he has. But rumors cant be trusted, Daisy Zane slowly said. The three boys were stunned for a moment, then immediately echoed, Yes, yes, youre right. Rumors cant be trusted, cant be trusted. Chapter 364: 331: Protecting the Husband_2 Chapter 364: 331: Protecting the Husband_2
Trantor:549690339 Arthur North is quite a gentleman. Daisy Zane said with a sudden lift of her mouth corner, He will be very devoted. Everyone in the room felt as if they had eaten a mouthful of dog food.
They rarely saw Daisy Zane smile like that. Although the smile was fleeting. Forget about the wine, Daisy Zane said, looking at the wine in their hands, In a few dayse to the drama crew and make a cameo for a few characters, alright? The eyes of the three men suddenly widened. The others had a look of surprise on their faces. This wasnt a punishment, it was like a pie falling from the sky. God was trying to stuff pies into their mouths. A show by Flynn Ninevara! A show by Flynn Ninevara! I, we, us? Yes, there might not be many parts. Daisy Zane said, But the characters are very important. Yesterday, when the three of them were gossiping, Daisy Zane instantly arranged roles for them in her mind. Although there might not be many parts.
But it could serve as the icing on the cake. Actually, it would be fine to let others y the roles. But after all there are prototypes. Using prototypes is the best. So Daisy Zane left the words see youter yesterday. Its just they are top celebrities, and they should be very busy. She doesnt know if they have time. Yes, yes. Another boy responded. Right, right, yes. No need to find my agent, I can ept. Brook God, Im always avable, said another boy, Whenever you need me, I can be there. Mhmm, Daisy Zane said, Ill contact your agents in advance. The three men were suddenly so excited that after standing beside Daisy Zane for a while, they gradually reacted: Brook God, let me toast you. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow, picked up the wine ss, and clinked with them: In the future gossip less. Understood, understood.
Everyone else realized that besides feeding them dog food, Daisy Zane was also protecting her husband. After dinner, everyone dispersed. Daisy Zane received a phone call and did not walk downstairs with them, taking the call in the Ninth Floor lobby. The call was from Luke, probably reporting the recent situation of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Daisy Zane also mentioned Edward Kirstens power rebuilding and asked them to be more vignt and pay more attention to the changes and distribution of various powers. As she spoke on the phone, Daisy Zane initially looked outside. But after a while, she thought the view outside wasnt very good, so she turned around and leaned against the French window to look inside the restaurant. As she spoke with Luke, her gaze crossed the courtyard and saw a man across the way. The man had juste out of the restroom. He was about 1.85 meters tall, with long legs. Wearing light-colored sportswear, a mask, and a baseball cap. His body was well covered, making it easy to attract attention. However, because of his leisurely andposed walk, he does not arouse suspicion.
Still, seeing this figure, Daisy Zane immediately stood up straight. Her pupils trembled violently, and after freezing in ce for a few seconds, she hung up the phone and walked towards the man. It was quite a distance to the atrium, and Daisy Zane kept her eyes on the mans figure. As she passed by the private room, she didnt take notice. She almost collided with a personing out of the door. The other person dodged, and Daisy Zane reacted and dodged too, narrowly avoiding a collision. She did not pay much attention to who it was, her eyes kept following the figure. She didnt want to stay in ce and was about to leave. But someone suddenly rushed over, blocking her. Daisy Zane looked at the receding figure, her brow furrowing as she subconsciously gripped the person in front of her wrist and pulled them to the side. Ah! The woman let out a scream, falling to the side and grabbing Daisy Zanes skirt in the process. Daisy Zane took a step forward, but was pulled back by the woman. She turned around and realized it was an acquaintance. Amelia Miles and Mrs. Davis of the Johnson Family in Truro City. It was Mrs. Davis who had just stopped Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane let go of her, and Mrs. Davis almost fell but was supported by Amelia Miles. What no manners, dont you know how to apologize when you bump into someone? Mrs. Davis red at her. Daisy Zane looked at the two of them without speaking, but her expression was very bad. Seeing Daisy Zanes pale face, Amelia Miles whispered, Sister, whats wrong? Daisy Zane gave them a gloomy look and turned to leave. The two were intimated by her look, but once she turned around, they immediately reacted. Last time at the Cloud Clothes and Rainbow Skirts Show, Mrs. Davis was asked to leave. She had always been holding a grudge, and now that she saw the person, how could she let it go? You uncultured wild child, stand still. Cant you hear people talking to you! Mrs. Davis chased after her again. Auntie Amelia Miles followed. Mrs. Davis grabbed Daisy Zanes arm, and Daisy Zane grabbed her arm back in response, turning around and ring coldly at her: Dont look for death! Daisy Zanes hand tightened, and Mrs. Davis cried out in pain, Let go of me! Sister, calm down. What happened? Daisy Zane was already trying to restrain the violent factor inside her body and did not directly hit anyone. Daisy Zane, you crazy woman! Let go of me! Daisy Zanes hand tightened, throwing Mrs. Davis away again: Since you know Im crazy, next time you see me, take a detour. Mrs. Davis hit the wall directly, and her back hurt so much, she couldnt speak for a moment. Daisy Zane looked at Amelia Miles again: Dont call me sister, it makes me sick. Amelia Miles face changed instantly, and she clenched her teeth to maintain her image. There were so many surveince cameras here, and those eating here were either rich or powerful. Someone coulde out at any time, and she couldnt lose herposure. Sister, dont say that, Amelia Miles whispered. Amelia, do you expect a crude, uneducated person like Daisy Zane to say anything nice? Mrs. Davis straightened her shawl and lifted her chin. Looking at Daisy Zane, she said, No manners, crude, ignorant, and foul-mouthed. You, not to mention marrying into our Davis Family, you are not even someone our Davis Family would like to nce at. Chapter 365: 332: Venting Your Anger for You Chapter 365: 332: Venting Your Anger for You
Trantor:549690339 The ninth and tenth floors of the Fog Mountain Restaurant are specially reserved for celebrities and artists. The privacy is very good and the environment is quiet.
Perhaps its past dinner time, perhaps people generally prefer gatherings in the evening, or perhaps Mrs. Daviss harsh words arent very loud. But it seems even quieter at this time. Theres no one else in the corridor except them. Daisy Zane stands in ce, her eyes reflecting the images of the two of them, but her mind is full of that figure. It looks so much like him Especially that slow stride. Mrs. Davis was still saying, Our future daughter-inw and mistress of the Davis Residence muste from a family like the Lane Family. Hearing the words Lane Family, Daisy Zane snaps back to reality. Mrs. Davis continues, My future daughter-inw must be like Young Miss Lane. She shoulde from a good background and be well-cultured. She should have proper manners and the grace of a true aristocraticdy. Absolutely not a wild girl who unts herself in public. Daisy Zane nces at Mrs. Davis and then at Amelia Miles. She understands why they were together here. The dancepetition starts next Monday.
ording to online analysis, Amelia Miles has a high chance of joining the Dance Association. Even some people think that based on Sophie Ortizs preferences, Amelia Miles has a nearly 50% chance of bing Sophie Ortizs apprentice. After all, Amelia is known as Little Kiara outside. If Amelia bes Sophie Ortizs apprentice, It would be tantamount to being half a daughter of the Lane Family. Her value would skyrocket. Mrs. Davis came to the Imperial Capital at this time, probably to wine and dine Amelia Miles in advance, in order to curry favor and get closer to her. This would make it easier for them to approach Olivia Lane. The Davis Familys goal has always been Olivia Lane. Only Young Miss Lane is a true aristocraticdy, not someone like you who has been packaged with money and over-hyped publicity, sneers Mrs. Davis venomously. Amelia Miles stands by, watching the drama unfold without saying a word, surely feeling great inside. Mrs. Davis sees that Daisy Zane is not responding and some of the built-up anger in her heart dissipates. She is about to humiliate Daisy Zane further when her arm is suddenly grabbed.
Daisy Zane grips her arm, her expression colder and more ruthless than before. Mrs. Davis cries out in pain but cant speak properly. Looking disdainful, Daisy Zane stares at her with icy eyes, What did I say? One more word defaming Daisy Zane and Ill destroy the Davis Family. Amelia Miles stands by, her mouth moving but not daring to make a sound. She is all too familiar with this look, when Daisy Zane almost strangled her in the parking lotst time. Mrs. Davis is in so much pain that she breaks out in a cold sweat. Not daring to scream, she can only growl softly, Daisy Zane, what are you doing? Let go of me! With your Davis Family and your shrewish face, you dare to climb up the socialdder, trying to ingratiate yourselves with the Lane Family, says Daisy Zane softly. Are you worthy? What our Davis Family is like is none of your business. Youre just an actress, you dont get to judge us, Mrs. Davis snaps back. Sister, there are CCTV cameras here. Dont make a scene, youre a public figure and someone might see, warns Amelia Miles. Daisy Zane nces at Amelias face before releasing Mrs. Davis abruptly once more. She uses so much force that Mrs. Davis not only ms into the wall but also twists her ankle. The pain turns her face as white as a sheet.
Amelia watches this scene and, after looking at the surveince camera overhead, she subtly curls the corner of her lip in satisfaction. This is a big news story, enough to force someone to retire from the circle. Show some sense and stay away from Olivia Lane, Daisy Zane says coldly. Daisy Zane has barely finished speaking when she hears footsteps behind her. She turns to look. Arthur North approaches with a group of people. Arthur North is still wearing the ck shirt and trousers he wore this morning. His pace is fast and his strides are long. His thin, crimson lips are pursed with concern. His narrow eyes seem to be brewing a storm. Mysterious, demonic, and regal. Seeing him, the gloom in Daisy Zanes heart subsides a little, and the fire that hasnt been let out is extinguished slightly. Watching the man approaching, Amelias eyes suddenly tighten and she unconsciously shifts towards the side. Meanwhile, Mrs. Davis leans against the wall, her foot not daring to touch the ground, her face pale as she watches the distinguished man approach. Arthur North strides up to Daisy Zane, looks down at her, then reaches out and touches her face gently, Why does yourplexion look so terrible? Twisting her fingertips, Daisy Zane replies, Its nothing. What brought you here? Chapter 366: 332: Venting Your Anger for You_2 Chapter 366: 332: Venting Your Anger for You_2
Trantor:549690339 I guess its about time. I came to pick you up. Kevin rks thumb stroked her face, Did they upset you? Daisy Zane didnt say anything, which was taken as a yes.
Normally, Daisy Zane wouldnt have such arge emotional fluctuation. But today, she was affected by that figure, and because of the sudden obstruction, she heard some unpleasant words. So, she didnt control her emotions very well. She just suppressed the violence in her heart. Kevin rarely saw her like this, and precisely because it was rare, he felt that todays incident was serious. He held Daisy Zanes hand and found that her skin was broken. Kevin rk frowned, gently stroked the area around the broken skin, and then looked up at the two people opposite: Im curious how did you manage to irritate my little girl? The way he said it was light and floating, but it gave the feeling that Kevin rk might just kill someone in the next second. The man beside him almost bulged his eyes out when he heard him speak like this. Is this is this Third Masters woman being bullied on his own territory? Fog Mountain would it be leveled? So, its your wild lover. Mrs. Davis said while holding her arm.
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Amelia Miles, was stunned by the three words wild lover. Someone dared to scold Kevin rk as a wild lover. After Daisy Zane was stunned for a moment, the corners of her mouth suddenly moved twice. She tried hard to keep her mouth from twitching, but couldnt do it after a while. So she turned her head and looked back, lowering her head andughing. Kevin rk didnt even need to look to know the little girl wasughing. He pinched Daisy Zanes hand and whispered: Wild lover You probably dont know it yet. This girlfriend you hold in the heart, while being with you, is also hooking up with my son. Mrs. Davis raised her chin and continued, You hold her in your heart, but she treats you as a backup. Young man, let me remind you. Its better to get away from such a woman as early as possible. So that you dont get infected with any dirty things or catch some filthy diseases. Kevin rks expression grew colder inch by inch. As soon as he opened his mouth, it seemed as if he was iming a life: Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Daviss face with one hand, and forced her to open her mouth. Moreover, the force was so great that Mrs. Davis felt as if her jaw was about to be crushed. Michael Jackson, gripping her chin, dragged her directly into the private room next to them.
Mrs. Davis was in so much pain and fear that she couldnt say a word. Amelia Miles stood in a daze on the side, trying her best to minimize her presence. She wanted to quietly leave after they all entered the private room. But Juan Wright rudely pushed her into the room. Kevin rk lowered his head to check Daisy Zanes hand again, stroked her face, and said, Ill take care of this for you. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. The owner of Fog Mountain Restaurant looked at the two of them from the side. How did these two people grow up? How could they look so good? Once they all entered the room, Michael Jackson controlled Mrs. Davis, and Juan Wright stood next to Amelia Miles. Just by Juan Wright standing next to Amelia Miles, she felt it difficult to breathe. She felt that this seemingly innocent man might hit her at any time. As everyone stood up, Kevin rk pulled a chair for Daisy Zane to sit down first.
After she sat down, Kevin rk ced a chair next to her and sat down himself. Who are you! What do you want to do! Let go of me! Mrs. Daviss arm was twisted behind her back by Michael Jackson. Her face was very painful, so her speech wasnt very clear and was muffled. Kevin rk looked up at her, speaking slowly, Youre right, I cherish my little girl in my heart. So you all just framed her like this? Daisy Zane: Michael Jackson and Juan Wright suddenly exchanged a nce. A meaningless nce. But at this moment, the two seemed to want to find some support, so they looked at each other. ndering my Little Girl out of thin air Id tear you a new mouth Thats not excessive, right? Kevin rk said. You dare! What dont I dare? Kevin rkughed. If you dare touch me, the Johnson Family in Truro City will never let you go. Mrs. Davis struggled to speak. Juan Wright scoffed: What is the Johnson Family in Truro City? I dont know. Michael Jackson said, Never heard of it. Young Master Lincoln, your Fog Mountain Restaurant Kevin rk nced at Amelia Miles and said, Really lets every stray cat and dog in, huh? Kai Lincoln chuckled awkwardly: I was careless. Amelia Miles face turned a shade of green. This was also an insult to her. You dont even know the Johnson Family in Truro City. Youre all just a den of snakes and rats, as ignorant and vulgar as that wild girl. Mrs. Davis sneered, contemptuously said, You may not know about the Johnson Family in Truro City, but you must know the Lane Family in Imperial Capital. Were going to have a marriage alliance with them in the future! What do you think you are! They will never let you go. Daisy Zane, with her elbow on the armrest of the chair and her chin resting on her hand,ughed softly when she heard this. When she first met this woman, she thought she was quite smart in addition to her opportunistic nature. But she didnt expect to lose control of the situation after being provoked and scared. Publicly ranting like a lunatic. Most likely because she had been kicked out of the Doomsday Hotel and harbored resentment. Now it was just that her brain was short-circuited by the fear of Kevin rk. Kevin rk looked at her, the maliciousness in his eyes was like a sharp sword, capable of ying people. Scold his Little Girl, and rob his nephew of his love interest? Not to mention how the Lane Family cherishes the little princess in her family. What makes you think the Lane and rk families will face each other? Kai Lincoln said with a smile. What do you mean? Mrs. Davis asked subconsciously. No one answered her. Kevin rk nced at Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson raised his hand and pinched Mrs. Davis jaw again, then with a forceful push, Mrs. Davis jaw dislocated. She cried out and then sat directly on the ground. The pain made her tremble all over, and she couldnt close her open mouth at all as saliva flowed out constantly. Amelia Miles suddenly widened her eyes, looking at what was happening, her body seemed to be frozen, unable to speak or move. They were so ruthless. Mrs. Davis, before you speak, make things clear. Its your son pestering my Little Girl. Not reporting your son for harassment is already a blessing for your family, Kevin rk said, Also your son my Little Girl wouldnt even want to take a second look at him. Dont think too highly of yourself. Mrs. Davis covered her mouth and tried to speak, but could only make Wu,wu,wu, sounds. Remember, troublees from your mouth. In consideration of you being a woman, Ill show some mercy, Kevin rk said, So whats left is for the Davis family to pay. Ah, ah, ah Mrs. Davis screamed. Kevin rk didnt bother her any more, but turned to Amelia Miles: Miss what are you doing? When Amelia Miles was suddenly called out, her whole body trembled. This man was so good-looking, and his voice was gentle. But Amelia Miles felt like she was looking at a poisonous snake, the venom seeping into her skin and spreading throughout her body. Making every inch of her skin hurt: I, I didnt do anything, I didnt do anything. Miss Miles, youre here in the Imperial Capital to participate in a dancepetition, right? Amelia Miless eyes trembled, her breathing quickened. What, what did he want? All the horrifying scenarios seemed to pass through Amelia Miless mind, and her body quickly turned cold. Then she suddenly looked at Daisy Zane and pleaded: Sister Daisy Zane looked at her, her gaze paused on Amelia for two seconds before shifting away and said, Lets go, Im tired. Kevin rk tilted his head, he noticed Daisy Zane letting Amelia off the hook more than once. He smiled and said gently, Alright, lets go back. Chapter 367: 333: Proposal Chapter 367: 333: Proposal
Trantor:549690339 After leaving the private room, Kevin rk instructed Juan Wright to tamper with the surveince footage. Upon exiting, Daisy Zane gazed at the spot where the figure had disappeared.
Kevin exchanged a few words with Kai Lincoln and, turning his head, noticed Daisy staring off into the distance. He asked, Whats the matter? Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze: Nothing. Heading back? Yeah. Kevin rk took Daisy Zane back to the Rose Garden and stayed with her for a while before leaving. After he left, Daisy stayed in the backyard for a while. The backyard was full of roses, covering arge area, almost like a rose field. However, it was almost October now, so the rose season had passed and only green leaves remained. Only some roses in the greenhouse were still blooming. Daisy looked at the roses for a while before heading upstairs. She used herputer to hack into the surveince system at Fog Mountain Restaurant.
She checked the surveince footage on the ninth floor, but the footage of her, Liams mother, and Amelia Miles in the hallway was gone. Daisy didnt care too much; her main focus was on the silhouette captured on the ninth-floor camera. Following the figure, she not only hacked Fog Mountain Restaurants surveince, but also the surveince footage at every intersection the figure passed. The figure kept walking without taking a car. However, the figure suddenly disappeared in front of a supermarket. It was unclear whether they deliberately avoided the surveince or wandered into a blind spot. Later, Daisy went through all the avable surveince footage near the supermarket but found nothing. After checking, Daisy sat in front of the French window and looked outside. The sun happened to shine on her, casting its light on her eyshes, while the shadow of hershes fell on her distant eyes. After a while, her eyshes fluttered gently and Daisy closed her eyes. The figure looked so much like Jack Amos.
Except for being much thinner than Jack, everything else was strikingly simr. But with thirty-two wounds on Jacks body, the chances of him surviving the final deadly wound were almost zero. Edward Kirsten wouldnt have left a survivor. Daisy closed her eyes and pressed her brow for a moment. She wondered why she was so fixated on finding this person and how it could possibly be Jack. In the afternoon, Daisy went to a private hospital to meet a psychologist. She had a general understanding of the psychological problems rted to students being bullied. The conversationsted until past 6 oclock in the afternoon. As she was leaving, Daisy asked the psychologist, Can hypnosis make someone forget their past? Caught off guard by the question, the psychologist hesitated but quickly responded, If the hypnotist is highly skilled, its possible. Is there a way to recover the memories?
Hypnosis can be tried to retrieve memories, the doctor thought for a moment and continued. Some people who have experienced major psychological trauma may also recall familiar scenes or events. Daisy nodded: Thank you. Youre wee. After leaving the hospital, Daisy called for a car. As she waited, she reflected on her life on Continent A. She had no memories of ever being hypnotized, not even a whisper. Since waking up on the 5th of June that year, her memories were aplete nk. The first person she saw when she woke up was Edward Kirsten. Edward Kirsten only told her that her name was Enigma Starry, but didnt reveal anything else. Later, she had asked about her personal history. Edward Kirsten didnt tell her anything either. Instead, he said, The past was not good, forget it. Your brother took you in, so just live with your brother now. Edward Kirsten was very kind to her at that time. She trusted him and was quite content with her life then. Feeling that the past was not worth remembering, she decided to let it go. After leaving Continent A, she never considered looking into her own history. If life had been terrible before, it should not be dwelled upon. However, if it had been good and she came from a decent family, she would worry. If she were to return, she didnt know when her life would end. Wouldnt her family just suffer again? The long-lost daughter finally returns only to die again enduring that pain again would be unbearable for anyone. So Daisy had never thought about it before. However now, images appeared in her mind for no reason, and she had strange dreams at night. She was a bit annoyed. As she thought, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Kevin rk. Daisy picked up the phone but didnt say anything, waiting for Kevin to speak. Miss, the driver at home says youre not there. Daisy couldnt help but smile: I went out to take care of something. Kevin didnt ask her what it was, instead asking, Are you done? Yeah. Ille pick you up. No need, I called a car, Daisy Zane said, It will be here soon. Kevin rk fell silent for two seconds and said, Change the destination? To the Doomsday Hotel? Huh? Take you to something delicious. Kevin rks tone contained a smile. Okay. Daisy Zane called a taxi to the Doomsday Hotel. When she arrived, Kevin rk was waiting for her at the entrance. Why didnt you bring the driver out? Kevin rk held her hand and joked, Afraid Ill look into your itinerary? Daisy Zane followed his joke with a huh sound. Kevin rk smiled and said, Rest assured, you will always be free. Daisy Zane nced at him, the corners of her eyes revealing a hint of smile. When I was going out, the driver was on the phone with his son in the courtyard. He said he was going to use his 40-meter-long knife to trim his sons 20-meter-long pencil. I let the driver take half a day off, and he went back. Kevin rkughed: The child will thank you. Daisy Zane also raised the corner of her mouth. She followed Kevin rk into the Doomsday Hotel. As soon as she entered, she noticed the difference. The ssical, chic, luxurious lobby of the Doomsday Hotel was filled with lotus flowers. Only a path was left for people to pass through, and lotus flowers were everywhere,yered upon one another and closely packed. Probably to match the purity of the lotus, the hotels lighting that day was all cool-toned. Daisy Zane stopped at the entrance, seemingly surrounded by a sea of lotus flowers. The original appearance of the Doomsday Hotel had not changed, only the addition of lotus flower arrangements. Chilly elegance, not gaudy, but astonishingly stunning. Just like Daisy Zane, she was cold and graceful, with great poise. She wasnt gaudy, but stunning enough. Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment, then realized. She turned and looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk smiled at her, his hands sped behind him and his fingertips tense. Shall we go inside and take a look? Daisy Zane looked at him and nodded. She walked slowly inside. Following the reserved path, she walked inside. From the hotels grand hall all the way to the banquet hall, there were lotus flowers leading the way. A huge banquet hall was surrounded by lotus flowers. Different varieties, different colors, progressing inyers, very exquisite. Not a days work. One couldnt help but feel shocked and amazed. Daisy Zane walked slowly to the center of the banquet hall and stopped. Despite her excellent vision, the lotus flowers in the distance seemed a little blurred. She stood for a while, then reached down to touch a lotus. Only then did she realize they were all real. She thought they were just incredibly lifelike. She looked at Kevin rk: This Kevin rk tucked her hair behind her ear: From rk Manor. Daisy Zane stared at him, hesitated and then asked, Didnt you pick all 25 acres of lotus flowers? Such arge area, and the flowers were so tightly packed. Kevin rk realized that his hand touching her face was trembling at the fingertips. He withdrew his hand, letting it hang at his side, and said, After thinking about it, the only decoration that Ive raised for years that matches the little girl is the lotus. Daisy Zane did not speak. Though rumors may be unreliable. But she knew that these lotus flowers were really expensive. Several tens of thousands for one nt was the cheapest. Hardy rk had once told her that some of the lotus flowers in their ponds had been auctioned for seven figures. She had also learned from Juan Wright and Michael Jackson. Kevin rks love for lotus flowers had already reached the point where he would not let anyone pick or touch even the wild lotus flowers outside. Does it hurt? Daisy Zane didnt know what to say, and all her wordsbined led to these three words. They are nothingpared to the little girl, Kevin rk said, holding her face and nting a kiss on the corner of her mouth. Daisy Zane felt the cold sweat in the palm of his hand After this kiss, Kevin rk took a step back, took a small box from his pocket, and knelt on one knee. Daisy Zane subconsciously wanted to help him, but Kevin rk sped her hand. Kevin rk, on one knee in front of her, looked up at her and smiled. Little girl let me change my status. No questions asked; it was a certainty. Daisy Zane looked into the eyes of the man before her. For a moment, everything around her vanished, and all she saw was this man. This man could make everything else fade away. Wont you ask if I agree? Daisy Zane said. Kevin rk took a gentle breath and thenughed, Can I not ask? Daisy Zane felt that this man was trying to seduce her with his beauty, but she still said, And can you still not ask? Kevin rk smiled, hiding his nervousness within theugh. But even when nervous, Third Master would satisfy all his girls needs. He rubbed her fingers, his throat gently rolled, and he said tenderly and devoutly, Little girl marry me, will you? Daisy Zane stared at her trembling hand held by him, and after a pause, she said firmly, Yes. Kevin rk held her hand tight, relieved in his heart. In an instant, his eyes were filled with a myriad of stars, but those countless stars revolved only around the person in his eyes. He solemnly said, Little girl, I will always love you, protect you, and be loyal to you. Having said this, Kevin rk devoutly ced the ring on Daisy Zanes left ring finger.

Trantor:549690339 [Ive got to tell you guys! Something unbelievable just happened!] After learning that Charles Amos and Wilton Edwards hade to rk Manor, Allonzo Hobson went over in the afternoon with loads of presents.
Once he reached Kevin rks courtyard, he saw the barren lotus pond! He stood there, bbergasted for a good ten minutes before finally making a move. As far as he knew Kevin rk, every single lotus flower in the pond would be razed Like hell these were all treasured by Kevin rk! Who the hell was so daring that not only did they take every single lotus flower, but they also plucked the lotus leaves until nothing was left?! Alonzo Hobson couldnt imagine how Kevin was going to react to this. He stood by the pondside for more than ten minutes, and eventually, his ice-cold limbs warmed up. He grabbed someone nearby, asking, Where are the lotus flowers?! The man saw the blood drain from Allonzos face and worriedly asked, Young Master Hobson, are you okay? Im fine, where are the lotus flowers? The lotus lotus flowers Third Master had them plucked. Who picked them? Allonzo thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Third Third Master. He he he Allonzo felt his tongue rolling around, He picked the flowers! Where did he take them?! What are they for?! To the the Doomsday Hotel. The person being questioned also started stuttering, It took several days to pick them all, and they were transported to the Doomsday Hotel. They spent quite some effort keeping the flowers fresh. Allonzo Hobson had a hard time breathing and stared nkly for a while before leaving rk Manor and getting into his car. He dazedly sat in the car for a moment before starting a group text. Since Roy Madison didnt use any social media apps except text messages, whenever he wanted to talk to several people at once, he would send group texts. This was what Roy referred to as a group. The messages Roy saw in the group were all group texts sent by Allonzo Hobson. [Did you guys know?! Did you?! Kevin rk picked all the flowers from a 25-acre lotus pond at his house! Not even a single petal remains!] Hugo rk group text: [I didnt know. I havent been home these past few days. Is Third Uncle alright? Why did he suddenly pick the lotus flowers? If hes in a bad mood, I wont go home for the next few days.] Allonzo Hobson group text: [I dont know. I I called him this morning, and he seemed pretty normal. The people at your house said its been going on for several days. And all the lotus flowers have been taken to the Doomsday Hotel.]
Hugo rk group text: [Did something provoke Third Uncle? Did the Doomsday Hotel invite him? It must have been something Roy Madison did, right? Just dont involve me in this.] After a while, Roy Madison group text: [Didnt you guys know? Kevin booked the Doomsday Hotel for three days and paid me two weeks worth of hotel revenue. He proposed at the hotel.] Allonzo Hobson: [??] Hugo rk: [!!] Allonzo Hobson: [Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Nobody told me about this!] Hugo rk: [I didnt hear any news either. I just found out when I saw all the lotus flowers that Ive been growing for over twenty years got picked clean.] Allonzo Hobson: [Holy shit! He covered the Doomsday Hotels two weeks revenue! All the lotus flowers in the pond! How much freaking money did Kevin spend?! Money is the least concern! Those flowers are precious! Theyre worth millions per piece! He went all out for his fiance!] Hugo rk: [Is the proposal happening today?] Roy Madison: [Yes.] Allonzo Hobson: [Hey! Kevin rk didnt even tell us about his proposal! Its such an important moment for Third Master rk! We should be there to witness it, right?] Allonzo Hobson: [I wonder what Third Masters reaction will be when he proposes. Holy shit! Im excited!]
Hugo rk: [Im already on my way.] Allonzo Hobson: [Damn! Youre too impulsive! Wait for me! Im also going to the Doomsday Hotel. Roy! Roy! Where are you! Lets go together!] Roy Madison, at the Imperial Capital Research Institute, calmly sent a message: [Im in Oxford City. You guys go ahead. I wont make it back in time.] When Kevin had borrowed the Doomsday Hotel from him, he had explicitly refused his involvement. It was clear he didnt want anyone to interrupt their intimate world of two. Roy would never take the risk of being cold-shouldered. As for others well, they were brothers. It wouldnt hurt to have a little fun. Allonzo Hobson: [Well, thats too bad for you. You wont get to witness Third Masters big moment.] After sending this message, Allonzo Hobson called Robinson Scott to inform him as well. Chapter 369: 334: Everyone Watches the Fun – Part 2 Chapter 369: 334: Everyone Watches the Fun C Part 2
Trantor:549690339 Robinson Scott answered the phone quickly, and it was still very noisy around him. Whats up? he shouted. Allonzo Hobson moved the phone a little further away before putting it back to his ear and asked, Are you in Imperial Capital?
Say what you want. Allonzo Hobson: Arthur North is proposing to your Brother Nine. What?! Robinson Scott didnt hear clearly because of the noise around him. Allonzo Hobson patiently repeated it and then moved the phone away again. As expected, the next second, Robinson Scott shouted even louder, Ah! Where! Allonzo Hobsonughed and said, Doomsday Hotel, you should be able to make it if you go now. Robinson Scott hung up directly. Allonzo Hobson raised his eyebrows as he looked at his disconnected call. Humph, they wont see me. Thats the end of you. When Hugo rk received the message, Hardy rk was next to him. He was urged to go out by Hardy rk, who replied to thest two messages.
Before going out, he sent Olivia Lane a message, asking her if she wanted to go and watch the fun. Olivia Lane agreed immediately. So Hugo rk went to pick up Olivia Lane with Hardy rk. Meanwhile, Robinson Scott also yelled in their group chat. The group chat exploded right away. However, apart from James Collins and Robinson Scott being in Imperial Capital and having time, others couldnt make it. They could only jump around in the group chat. Moreover, those who came were so afraid of missing the proposal that their luxury cars were flying. When they arrived at the entrance of Doomsday Hotel, they all waited for each other. James Collins waiting for Robinson Scott, Robinson Scott waiting for Allonzo Hobson, Allonzo Hobson waiting for Hugo rk. By the time everyone entered, Arthur North and Daisy Zane had finished their meal, and the two were visiting Doomsday Hotel. Arthur North was telling Daisy Zane about the jade carving in the grand hall of which dynasty it came from,
When several people suddenly broke in. Then the two groups of people looked at each other silently and strangely for a few seconds. All six of them at the door widened their eyes, looking at the lotus in the grand hall. And the two people surrounded by lotus. A pure and a strange person were nestled among the pure lotus flowers. Daisy Zane looked at them, and her face didnt show any fluctuations. However, the moment Arthur North saw them, his face darkened. His dislike was obvious. After a while, Robinson Scott blinked. She looked at Daisy Zanes left hand and then at Arthur Norths left hand. Both of them were wearing rings on their ring fingers. Is the proposal over? Robinson Scott looked at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zanes left ring finger moved gently: If you came a littleter, we would have gotten our certificates.
Arthur Norths face looked slightly better, sping Daisy Zanes hand and asked, Why are you all here? Arthur, its not cool of you. Allonzo Hobson said, You didnt tell us about such a big event in your life. We came to cheer you on. I think youre in the way. Arthur North said indifferently. The six people: Brother Nine! You didnt even tell us about such an important event in your life. Yeah, sis. James Collins said with a wronged face. Olivia Lane looked at the man with blue hair and blinked. Is this her younger brother? She has another younger brother too? Such a thing shouldnt it be kept a secret from me? Daisy Zane said softly. Everyone fell silent. Yeah, who knew about it beforehand, Daisy Zane wouldnt have been able to know either. So Robinson Scott and James Collins both looked at Arthur North. Then they found they couldnt mess with Arthur North either, so they all wilted. After another moment of silence, they walked inside. James Collins and Robinson Scott walked casually, but the other four were cautious. Because they all knew how expensive these lotus flowers were. Arthur, you will be my brother-inw in the future, Allonzo Hobson said. Arthur North: Sis Lucia, why did you agree so readily? Allonzo Hobsonughed. Why not make it hard for him? Only then will men understand the value. Arthur North nced at Robinson Scott and said, Yes, make it hard. Only then will they understand the value. Allonzo Hobsons scalp tingled, and he cursed quietly in his heart. Why did he dig a hole for himself? This guy has proposed now, but hes still single. He looked back at Robinson Scott. Robinson Scott silently spat at him: Dont look at me! Allonzo Hobson: Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Olivia Lane, You also came to join the excitement. Olivia Lane pursed her lips: I just came over out of boredom to take a look. Ive been wanting to ask, who is this little sister? Shes so pretty, Robinson Scott hooked her arm around Olivia Lanes neck and said yfully, Shes so cute. Let your sister introduce you to a marriage partner. Chapter 370 - 334: Everyone Watches the Fun – Part 3 Chapter 370: Chapter 334: Everyone Watches the Fun C Part 3 Trantor: 549690339 Olivia Lane nced at her impassively, avoiding Robinson Scotts arm, but he caught her evasion and held on tightly, not letting her get away: Why are you avoiding me? Im not a bad person. Olivia Lane turned her gaze to Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane raised her brows: Robinson, stop teasing her. Robinson Scott backed off, muttered, Brother Nine, I really wonder who this girl is. Youre so protective of her C even taking her outte at night. Now that you mention it, Im actually feeling a bit jealous, James Collins said Olivia Lane gave Daisy Zane a look. Daisy Zane said, without missing a beat, This hotel is her familys. Robinson Scott was stunned, and then he took a sharp breath inward. Staring at Olivia Lane, he asked in disbelief, The Lane family has another daughter?! Olivia Lane slightly frowned. Robinson Scott gave her a once-over, then put on a friendly grin, Little sister, can I have one of your familys Gold Cards? Allonzo Hobson: Olivia Lane: Ive heard rumours that the top-floor couple-themed rooms are quite interesting, Robinson started, Can I have a Gold Card so that I get to experience it once? The top floor of the Doomsday Hotel had always been the private quarters of both Charlotte and Olivia Lane, never open to the public. So everyone just assumed that the next floor down was the hotels top floor. And only those with a gold card could ess the top floor. Olivia Lanes face suddenly turned red. Hugo rk beamed, smirking at Olivia Lane. Meanwhile, Hardy rk squinted suspiciously at her brother. Something was off about him. Robinson Daisy Zane broke the silence. Robinson Scott nced at Olivia Lane, then at Daisy Zane. He sported a breezy smile as he leaned in towards Daisy, whispering, Lucia Im sure Third Master can ess the top floor. Daisy Zane nced at him, anticipating what he was about to say wouldnt be pleasant. Lucia, could you try it out for me tonight? Robinson gave Arthur North a once-over and whispered in Daisy Zanes ear, And give me a report tomorrow? Arthur North overheard, rendered speechless as he looked at Robinson. Daisy, however, paused and then scoffed, I can let you experience what it feels like to be punched. Afterwards, you can give me feedback tomorrow. Robinson Scotts smile froze on his face, and he quickly backed off, Uh, no, never mind. Brother Xavier has a Gold Card, Olivia suddenly said, You could use it together. Allonzo Hobson was leaning against one of the decorations, flipping a lighter around in his hand, He looked up when he heard Olivias voice, his gazending on Robinson Scott. Seeing Robinson Scott looking back, he gave a small smirk. Robinson scowled, I dont know him. Allonzo Hobson just chuckled and resumed ying with his lighter, totally unfazed. Seeing that the banter hade to a halt, James Collins asked, What are we going to do next? We need to celebrate such a great day, dont we? All you know is y,ined Robinson Scott. Dont you want to have fun too? Of course I do. Robinson looked at Arthur North and Daisy Zane as he said, So, what entertaining activities are we going to have next? Take a tour of the hotel, Daisy Zane replied with just four words. Olivia looked at her. The rest of the group: This Whats there to see in a hotel? James Collins asked. There are a lot of things to see, Olivia retorted, The history behind every item here is interesting. Details such as where theyre ced have been well-curated. Each item here is unique. James Collins was left speechless, unable to retort. This was mainly because her sister was protective of her, so he didnt dare to talk back. You all should go. As you wish. Arthur North and Daisy Zane spoke at the same time, of course, Arthur North was the one who sent them away. After Arthur finished speaking, the pair looked at each other. The others paused for a moment, and then Allonzo Hobson,pletely ignoring Arthurs words,ughed and said, Brook Sister said we can do as we please. Well go to the fifth floor to have some fun. You two enjoy your tour. Hugo rk and Hardy rk turned to look at Arthur. Arthur said, Mmm, do as you please. Just dont bother us. Hugo rk and Hardy rk: Got it, from now on their Auntie will be the head of this family. Alright then. Lets go. We will have fun on the fifth floor. Theres a lot of recreational facilities on the fifth floor, Allonzo said, Once were tired, we will just sleep here. Third Master is paying for tonight. Arthur North ignored him. Seeing that they were nning to have fun here, Daisy Zane looked at Olivia Lane and gently rubbed her head, Dont stay up toote. Hugo rks gaze followed her hand as it moved up, resting on the ring on her finger. The diamond on the ring was faintly tinged with icy blue. This diamond Last year at the end of the year, his uncle had spent more than three hundred million to buy it on the M Continent. At the time, he thought his uncle was buying it for his collection, but it turned out Olivia Lane nodded. James Collins silently stood by, watching them, feeling jealous. But as they all began heading towards the elevator, Daisy Zane suddenly told Hugo, Dont drink alcohol. Hugo surprised, blinked nkly. But seeing the warning in Daisy Zanes eyes, he quickly got the hint, I Arthur North was simply enjoying the show on the sidelines. Hardy rk was sneakily watching the show as well. I wont drink, Hugo confirmed after ncing at Arthur. Daisy Zane put away her stern expression, but after a pause, she softly reminded him, Shes only neen. Hugo felt a sudden pang of guilt, not just because of age. To others, he knew he was the unreliabil type, I understand, I will respect her. Daisy Zane seemed satisfied with his response and let him go. Then, they all carefully avoided the lotus flowers scattered around as they made their way to the elevator. Chapter 371 - 335: Want to Experience It? Chapter 371: Chapter 335: Want to Experience It? Trantor: 549690339 The Doomsday Hotel is indeed too big; if you want to explore every detail, itll take at least three days as a starting point. Therefore, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane only took a quick look at the ce. But when they went upstairs to rest, it was already past eleven oclock. The two of them went to the top floor, and after they came out of the elevator, Daisy Zane asked, Is there still another floor above? Yes, Kevin replied, Charlotte Lane and Olivia Lanes room. Daisy asked, Just the two of them? Yes, Kevin said, L Campbell loves the Doomsday Hotel. When it was renovated, it was mostly done ording to her preferences and a room was intentionally left for them on the top floor. L Daisy raised her eyebrows. Kevin had never called Olivia by this nickname. At the room entrance, Kevin swiped his room card and opened the door. The two of them entered the room together. There were lotus decorations in the room as well. Daisy walked into the room, touching the lotus. It was her idea to get the marriage certificate, and she thought they could skip the proposal. However, Kevin had still carefully arranged everything. Kevin approached her, stroked her head and said, Shall we take a bath? Sleep early? Daisy turned to look at him, Sleep early? Yeah, Kevin smiled and kissed her lips lightly, Sleep early. Daisy didnt say anything else, simply nodding her head. There are clothes in the cab, Kevin said. Okay. Daisy went to take a bath while Kevin went to the balcony to call Michael Jackson. Michael was handling the Davis Familys affairs in Truro City. Kevin said, Dont kill them all at once, leave them some breath. Yes, Third Master, Michael agreed. Michael had followed Kevin for so many years, so he naturally understood Kevins intentions. Immediately killing them would mean severing their attachments. But if the Davis family was left to suffer They would constantly try to seek help and rescue themselves. Struggling to survive, acting lowly and humiliating themselvesthose were the most painful and mentally exhausting experiences. For the Davis Family in Truro City, it was especially true in that ce. It was like falling from the clouds into a swamp. Even the people and rtionships that the Davis Family previously looked down on would be unreachableter. Killing them all at once wouldnt alleviate Kevins hatred; slow torment would help dispel his anger. Hows the Miles family doing? Kevin asked. The Miles Family is still the same; thepany can barely function, but its iparable to before, Michael Jackson said. If it werent for the asional help from the Truro Citymunity out of respect for the Anderson brothers, they would be even worse off. However it seems that John Anderson and Amelia Miles have some conflicts between them. They havent seen each other for a long time, Michael added. John Anderson cant support Amelia Miles ambitions, Kevin said. Michael agreed, then said, Third Master, the Miles Family has been trying to find out the whereabouts of Madams whereabouts. They probably want Madam to visit the Miles Family and help them. Michael was involved in the arrangement of the Doomsday Hotel, so he knew that Kevin was proposing today. Moreover, it must have been sessful. If not, he would not have received this phone call. After the word Madam was spoken, Kevins mood improved significantly. What were they waiting for earlier? The Miss of the Miles Family should know her priorities. Deal with the Davis Family first. Yes, Third Master. After hanging up the phone, Kevin replied to a few messages on the balcony. When Daisy finished taking a bath and came out, he went back into the room and helped her dry her hair. When her hair was dry, Kevin kissed her forehead and said, If youre sleepy, go to bed first. Im going to take a bath. Okay. Kevin went to take a bath, and Daisy sat on the carpet without moving. After a while, she lifted her sleeping robe sleeve up to her shoulder, revealing the tattoo on her left arm. Pigeon blood and cinnabar would emerge when exposed to heat. It had emerged while she was bathing. After the bath, she applied cold water to it, and it faded, leaving only a very faint red circle. After looking at it for a while, she put her sleeve back on, took out her cell phone, and looked at the messages. Seeing that there were 99+ messages in their group chat, she opened it and took a look. She didnt bother scrolling through the earlier conversations. However, the most recent messages were: Damian Brown: [Stop trying to reach out to the Big Boss today. Its the day he gets proposed to. In my judgment the proposal must be a sess. Then what are the next steps! Whats next! At this moment, the Big Boss must have taken someone to bed.] Daisy Zane: Logan: [Do you mean the Big Boss is on top?] Damian Brown: [??? Is there any difference between being on top and being on the bottom for the Big Boss? The other party is a man!] Roy Ryder: [What about it being a man? Does it affect our Big Boss being on top?] Logan: [It doesnt affect it.] Damian Brown: [No influence +1] Luke: [I suggest that you women create a separate group chat. A grown man like me gets embarrassed just looking at your conversation.] Logan: [Then dont look. The Big Boss hasnt said anything. What are you bbing about?] Luke: [What do you think the Big Boss would do if he saw this?] Damian Brown: [Its been so long, and the Big Boss hasnt appeared. He must not have time to deal with us. Just speak freely here, and we can clear the chat historyter.] Daisy Zane was reading the message when she abruptly took action and disbanded the group chat by moving her fingers. Then in less than a minute, Daisy Zane began receiving one apology and reimbursements after another. So when Kevin rk came out of the shower, he heard her phone ringing one notification after another, preventing it from ying the full tone. Whats going on? Kevin rk asked while drying his hair. Daisy Zane looked up at him. Kevin rk was wearing a ck sleeping robe, the belt wrapped around his waist, emphasizing his slim build. His corbone was exposed, with the contrast between his fair skin and the ck robe creating a striking effect. In his narrow eyes, there was an endless tenderness. The corners of his eyes and his thin lips might be redder than usual, probably from the steam in the room. His hair was wet, tossed back with a few strands hanging down in front, the ends reaching his eyebrows and asionally dripping a few droplets of water. He looked tempting, sensual, and casual. As Daisy Zane looked at him, the words that Damian Brown had said suddenly crossed her mind. [The Big Boss must have taken someone to bed.] These words seemed to carry their own voice as they floated through her mind. Daisy Zane quickly shifted her gaze and, looking down, silenced her cell phone. As Kevin rk watched her, he casually dried his hair a little more before tossing the towel onto a chair. He approached her, crouched down, and asked, Little girl, what are you thinking about? Daisy Zane was blocking people out and replied without raising her head, Nothing. For real? Daisy Zane didnt respond, but after a while, she said, Fake. Kevin rk paused, thenughed again, So what were you thinking about? Daisy Zane blocked thest person, closed her phone, and looked into his eyes, I was thinking about experiencing the fun at Doomsday Hotel. Theughter in Kevin rks eyes stiffened for a moment, his tender gaze quickly bing filled with desire. It was as if, in that instant, they were the only two people left between heaven and earth. In his eyes, there was only his little girl. Seeing his expression, Daisy Zane leaned closer and whispered in his ear, Third Master do you want to experience it together? The warm breath touched his ear, and Kevin rk lightly rolled his throat, feeling his blood begin to heat up. He licked his dry lips, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked at Daisy Zane, his voice hoarse, You havent rested all day, Im worried that youre tired. For Daisy Zane, it had been a long dayreturning to the vi early in the morning, developing a fever due to Edward Kirstens situation, sleeping only a few hours, then heading to the rk Manor, the police station, and the show to record a program, arguing with someone during the afternoon. She then visited a private hospital andter arrived at the Doomsday Hotel, touring several floors. She had been on the move all day, hardly stopping to rest. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, stroking her fingertips, her voice soft, In that case, Third Master be gentle. It seemed as if Kevin rk heard a sound in his body, some string snapping. Countless desires crawled up his heart, reflected in his eyes. When he returned to the room, he genuinely had such a thought for a moment. But after considering the little girls schedule for the day, he suppressed the thought. Already having the idea but not determined enough, with just a little tease, the desire became a fire, connecting heaven and earth. Kevin rk found it increasingly difficult to control himself; he took a deep breath, reached out to cradle Daisy Zanes head, and pulled her into his arms, kissing her deeply. His kiss was heavy yet restrained, as if afraid of hurting her, but at the same time, a little out of control Daisy Zane found herself pressed against the carpet, her mind unusually nk as her thoughts seemed to pause for a rare moment. All her senses came from Kevin rk, and she became lost in the overwhelming sensation and the feeling of sinking under his touch. It wasnt until the belt of his sleeping robe was untied, and Kevin rks hot hand touched her skin, that she came back to her senses and struggled, Kevin rk Lets go to the bed. Kevin rk kissed her for a while longer, then pressed a gentle kiss to the scar on her corbone before carrying her to the bed.

Trantor:549690339 The lights in the room were off, and the thick curtains were drawn. But through the gap in the curtains that were not fully closed, one could tell that daylight had arrived.
Daisy Zaney on her side in bed, her hand dangling limply over the edge. Half opening her eyes, she looked at the light filtering through the gap Her face was flushed with a rare blush, her eyshes still wet with tears. Her slightly swollen lips were pursed together, revealing extreme irritability hidden beneath her exhaustion. Was that the physical strength of a human? She doubted if Kevin rk was really a supernatural creature. In a moment, her hand hanging over the edge of the bed was sped, and Kevin rk hugged her from behind, kissing her at the back of the neck. His tone and voice all exuded his satisfaction, happiness, and joy: Ill carry you to take a bath. Daisy Zane closed her eyes and ignored him. Kevin rk tightened his arm, hugging her tighter, and chuckled quietly, Why wont you talk to me anymore? Kevin rk, you Daisy Zane said with her eyes closed. What about me? Daisy Zane didnt want to move, allowing him to pinch her hand. Didnt you say let me sleep early? It was Madam who invited me to experience it together. Kevin rk said with a smile.
Get lost. Daisy Zane cursed him weakly. If I had known you were like this Kevin rk kept smiling, not having any particr reaction to her cursing. He had just driven her to desperation, and she had cursed him several times in a hoarse voice. What am I like? Shut up. Kevin rk stopped talking, hugged her for a while, kissed her neck, then sat up. Go take a bath so you wont be ufortable. Daisy Zane didnt move. Daisy Zane didnt want to move. Kevin rk lifted the quilt, intending to carry her. Daisy Zane immediately rolled from one side of the bed to the other, wrapped in the quilt, and got out of bed. Her moves were smooth and swift, neat and dashing. However, after stepping on the ground, Daisy Zanes legs felt weak. She quickly held the bedside table beside her, and Kevin rk timely supported her from the other side.
Ill carry you. Daisy Zane dodged his hand, even pushing him aside, and then walked to the restroom wrapped in the quilt. Knowing he had pushed her too far and being in the wrong, Kevin rk didnt dare to make a sound, slowly following her from behind. When they arrived at the restroom door, he watched her enter and closed the door with a p. After the sound of a gust of wind, the sound of the lock clicked from inside. Kevin rk: Was she protecting herself from wolves? In the restroom, Daisy Zane threw the quilt on the ground and took off her sleeping robe hanging on her left arm. The tattoo on her left arm was fully visible because she was sweating with a high body temperature. The sleeping robe had been hanging on her arm the whole time. When he touched it, she stopped him, and he didnt touch it again. It always hung on her arm. Respecting all her secrets. Still looking at the tattoo on her arm, Daisy Zane looked up at the mirror next to her.
Looking at her own love bites in the mirror and recalling what had transpired, she felt a little scared. Kevin rk was indeed terrifying. Even under restraint and gentleness, Daisy Zane had a feeling that he would kill her. She felt as if he was a starving wolf, trying to tear her apart During Daisy Zanes bath, Kevin rk changed the bed sheet and put another quilt on the bed. He also found clothes and ced them at the restroom door. Later, he even lit an Eaglewood incense stick. Throughout the process, he had a constant smile on his face. The always calm Third Master now looked like a silly young boy, relishing in happiness. Lighting the Eaglewood incense, Kevin rk thought about the red mark on Daisy Zanes left arm. He had only seen part of it and was sure it was a tattoo. But since the little girl didnt let him see it, heter pulled the sleeping robe back up to cover the red mark. He remembered that she didnt have anything on her arm. But that sudden redness. It was a dove blood tattoo, which only appeared when she sweated. Thinking about this, Kevin rkughed to himself. She truly is a girl full of secrets. Daisy Zane came out of the restroom wrapped in her towel, saw the clothes outside, picked them up and went back to change. When she opened the door again, Kevin rk was standing by the restroom entrance. As she stepped out, Kevin rk scooped her up in a horizontal carry. Daisy stared at him cautiously, What are you doing? What do you think? Kevin rk gazed deeply into her eyes. Daisy Zane, Calm down, Kevin rk, she tried to jump down. Kevin rk gently tightened his hold on her and chuckled, Im not doing anything, just want to carry you back to bed. Daisy still looked at him warily. Really, Kevin rk said, I ordered food. Lets eat and then we can get a good sleep. Daisy didnt say anything, letting him carry her to the bed. Sheid down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes. Eat before sleeping. No. Sleepy. Arent you hungry? Kevin rk asked, stroking her face. Sleepy. Kevin rk smiled, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, Alright, sleep first. Mhmm. After responding, she fell asleep almost instantly. But a few minutester, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot and murderous as she stared at Kevin rk. His hand had just touched a box on the bedside table, and he froze when she suddenly looked over, Whats wrong? She stared at him, murder radiating from her gaze, What are you doing? Kevin rk realized, he picked up the empty box on the bedside table and shook it, Its empty, gonna throw it away. Daisy assessed him, deciding whether she could trust his words. If he continued to mess with her, she would fight him right now. Seeing her like this, Kevin rk smiled and tossed the empty box into the trash can. He leaned closer to her and whispered, Go to sleep, I wont bother you anymore. After saying that, he added, There arent any suitable sizes left, theyre all too small. Daisy Zane: Daisy Zane looked at him wordlessly for two seconds, then took a pillow from her side and threw it at him. She turned her back to him and kept sleeping. Kevin, holding the pillow she tossed, silently chuckled. He felt if she wasnt so sleepy, she might actually fight him now. Daisy slept until around 3 in the afternoon. In the morning, Kevin joined her in bed for a while. Afterwards, he continued to deal with his work. Heid in bed while working on hisptop. He set the brightness to the lowest and didnt use the keyboard. Whenever he needed to type, he used theptops touchpad and software keyboard. It was because hed put Daisys arm on his torso, letting her sleep hugging his waist. Daisy was well-behaved in her sleep and rarely moved. While Kevin worked, he could look down and see her sleeping face. Her usual aloof demeanor faded a bit, and in his eyes, she looked rather tame. From time to time, he would softly touch her here and there. He felt a sense of satisfaction as though she was his, and he could touch her as he pleased. Chapter 373: 337: Shopie Easton Chapter 373: 337: Shopie Easton
Trantor:549690339 Around 3, Daisy Zane opened her eyes and saw Arthur Norths waist. After a pause, she realized her hand was still resting on him.
She leaned back and looked at him. Arthur North turned his head, touched her face, and smiled, Awake? Mm. Daisy Zane nced outside; the curtains were drawn, and the crevice was gone, making it impossible to tell the time. What time is it? 3:20. Arthur North said, Do you want to sleep more or eat something? Daisy remained silent and closed her eyes again. Then she slid her hand inside his sleeping robe and urately touched the scar on his right rib. Little girl, what are you trying to do? Arthur North asked with a smile. Daisy Zane didnt answer him but asked, How did you get this? Arthur North looked down at her and said softly, It happened during training, when I got cut. A long scar, from a knife. Last night, Daisy Zane had touched it. Someone can actually hurt Third Master, Daisy Zane murmured.
Dont worry, no one will be able to hurt me in the future. After saying that, Arthur North put theputer aside, got out of bed, and poured her a ss of water. Daisy Zane sat up, drank the water, and then immediatelyy down again. Shey t, looking at the ceiling, her hair a bit messy. After a while, she raised her hand and touched the red rope around her neck. Seeing her lost in thought, Arthur North asked, Whats the matter? Arthur North Daisy Zane stared at the ceiling, thinking about the dream she just had, I want to go back to Cold Green Vige. She had just dreamt of Cold Green Vige. Arthur North was taken aback for a moment, then asked, When do you want to go? When are you free? Daisy Zane asked, looking at him. Seeing that she wanted him to go with her, a smile appeared in Arthur Norths eyes, Im always free. Ill probably be at the drama crew for Chinese New Year this year. I want to take advantage of these days and go back for a visit. Daisy Zane said quietly.
Alright. Arthur North agreed. In the afternoon, the two discussed returning home in the next few days, and in the evening, they decided to go directly to the airport and then to Cold Green Vige after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day. So, after dinner at the Doomsday Hotel, the couple went back to the Rose Garden to pack their bags. Daisy Zane hadnt opened her suitcase since she brought it back from the program. When she came back to pack, she opened it and took out all the contents. Among them was the painting for Arthur North. She sat on the floor and handed the painting directly to Arthur North. Arthur North was still looking at which white shirt to wear for tomorrow in front of the wardrobe when his leg was suddenly tapped twice. He looked down and saw a rolled-up sketch paper. He took it and unrolled it. He looked at himself in the sketch. It was a full-body drawing.
He was sitting in a chair with crossed legs and looking ahead. His eyes were both fierce and light, as if he saw all things as insignificant ants. Arthur North looked at the realistically drawn sketch of himself, and after a while, he shifted his gaze to the signature. Y.S. It was Sophie Easton. Two casual letters, as if the painting waspleted and left with her name out of habit. Thank you, mydy. Arthur North carefully rolled up the painting, leaned down to kiss Daisy Zanes cheek, and then got up. But as he did, his eyes caught something in the suitcase. Arthur North reached out and took the half-smoked pack of cigarettes hidden under the clothes. He looked at Daisy Zane and said, Little girl. Daisy Zane nced at the pack of cigarettes and said quietly, When youre happy, Im yourdy; when youre not, Im just a servant girl. Arthur Northughed and crouched beside her, Youre both mydy and my little girl. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and said, I only smoked one. The other one I gave to Marsh Turner. Kevin rk: This answer would be more satisfying if both cigarettes were hers. Daisy Zane was about to speak again when the cell phone that had been thrown on the floor rang. Both of them looked at it. A new message came in. Daisy unlocked it and clicked on it. It was a message from Liam Davis, apologizing and saying that his family wanted to meet her and apologize in person. After reading this message, Daisy looked at Kevin rk: Did you take action against the Davis family? Yes, replied Kevin rk, I took away one-fifth of their resources, and they couldnt bear it. I still have more leverage to use. Daisy closed her phone and didnt respond to the message. The next day Both Daisy Zane and Kevin rk got up early. They both wore the same white shirt. Last night, Kevin rk spent nearly an hour picking out a shirt, finally choosing one. Then he saw Daisy casually grab one from her wardrobe. He put the shirt he was holding back and took one like hers. The driver loaded their suitcases into the car. Before going downstairs, Kevin rk looked at the empty-handed little girl and felt inexplicably nervous. He said, Miss, the documents. Theyll be delivered to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Daisy replied. Alright. On the way there, Kevin rk held Daisys hand, his palm constantly sweating. Whenever Daisys hand moved slightly, Kevin rks grip would tighten. And when they got out of the car, his grip tightened even more. Though the Civil Affairs Bureau hadnt opened yet, there were already people waiting at the entrance. There werent many people, so the wait shouldnt be too long. Kevin rk, holding her hand, scanned the entrance and asked, Where are the people delivering the documents? Daisy nced at their sped hands, and for a brief moment, a smile crossed her usually cold face: Kevin rk. Hmm? I wont run. Kevin rk looked at her, paused, and still didnt let go of her hand. He said calmly, There are many people, dont get lost. Daisy looked at the sparse crowd and smiled silently. Soon, someone from the Celestial Pivot arrived to deliver Daisys documents. He treated Daisy respectfully, but it seemed like he didnt know how to address her. When he reached her side, he simply handed the file bag to her with both hands and said, Here are the documents you need. Daisy thanked him. The man bowed his head and watched Kevin and Daisy go to line up before he left. There were five couples ahead of them. Soon after the Civil Affairs Bureau opened, it was their turn. It wasnt until they sat down that Kevin rk let go of Daisys hand. Third Master rk seemed calm and no different from usual, but when opening the file bag, his fingertips trembled, and it took him a while. Daisy watched his hand and suddenly felt a warm stream in her heart. She swallowed and held his hand, rubbing her thumb against the back of his hand a few times. Her hand was a bit cold, but Kevin rk still felt the warmth. He turned to look at her, smiled tenderly, and then took out their documents. He handed his own over first, but when it came to handing out Daisys documents, he suddenly stopped and withdrew his hand. He looked at the name on the Household Register and ID card. Shopie Easton. Chapter 374 - 338: Getting the Certificate Chapter 374: Chapter 338: Getting the Certificate Trantor: 549690339 Third Master rk imagined that getting the marriage certificate would be a solemn, romantic, and serious scene. Not until he and Daisy Zane signed a stack of papers and were urged to leave the Civil Affairs Bureau did Third Masters illusionpletely shatter. It seemed like he could hear an unpleasant voice saying, Congrattions on bing a legal couple. Daisy Zane stroked the red booklet in her hand, her face unchanged, but her heart beating a little faster, making her breath somewhat unstable. She really did something she never thought of before. This marriage certificate not only made them a legal couple but also carried her hopes for the future. A future not just about revenge and death. A future about them. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked sideways at Kevin rk. As a result, she found Kevin rk pursing his lips, still not recovering from being urged out. Third Master or shall we get the certificate again? Daisy Zane said softly, You can use your connections, find another witness, and we can take an oath or something? Get it again? How? Divorce and get it again. Kevin rks face changed, and he immediately took the marriage certificate from Daisy Zanes hand and put it together with his own: Dont even think about it. Ill keep yours as well. Daisy Zane looked at her empty hand and put it in her trouser pocket. Kevin rk looked at the marriage certificate of the two of them, looked at the photos of the two side by side, and after a while, gently took a breath, looked at Daisy Zane, and said softly, Madam, happy new marriage. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rks reddened eyes due to excitement and happiness, also raised the corner of her mouth, and said softly, Happy New Marriage. Both were wearing masks, and Daisy Zanes hair was a bit messy due to the wind. Kevin rk put her hair behind her ear, then lowered his head and kissed her through the mask: Little Girl, we have our own home now. Daisy Zane didnt expect him to say that, her eyes flickered slightly. Suddenly, there was a feeling that someone pulled her out of the ice and snow and slowly warmed her heart. Mmm. After arriving at the airport, Daisy Zane took a photo of the marriage certificate. Before boarding the ne, she posted a message on Facebook. It was edited very simply. She uploaded the photo of the marriage certificate and left a sentence: [In response to the rumors a while ago. Im married.] After posting the message, Daisy Zane turned off her phone. At the moment she sent it, Kevin rk also turned off his phone, so he didnt receive the notification sound. After the two got on the ne, Daisy Zane went to sleep. Kevin rk picked up a magazine and read it with great concentration, asionally hooking the corner of his mouth. People who didnt know would think that Third Master saw something funny, but Third Masterughed because the magazine had their marriage certificate inside. People were already arranged outside the airport by Kevin rk, and two suitcases of things were also prepared. Everything was arranged by Kevin rk to eat and use. After more than three hours on the ne, they went straight to the car, and only then turned on their phones. Then the notification sounds on their phones started popping out one by one. If it were not for their good phone performance, the phones would probably be stuck by now. Kevin rks hand, which was about to start the car, paused for a moment, thinking that there might be an urgent matter at the Research Institute, so he checked the messages first. Msgs from his mother, his sister-inw, his elder brother, Hugo rk, Hardy rk, as well as messages from Charles Amos and Roy Madison, Xavier Dominic. Even the housekeeper at his home and the housekeeper in the courtyard sent him messages. Everyone was asking about the same thing, his marriage certificate. Some even asked if the person who got the certificate with Daisy Zane was him? He didnt tell his family. The person who got the certificate with Daisy Zane did the Little Girl say that? And Daisy Zanes phone was more or less the same situation. Everyone was sighing that their Big Boss was taken, and wondered why they could be so fast. Only Hill Dawson bitterly fixed the public rtions work. Her phone was about to explode. She wasining to Daisy Zane about the bomb she suddenly dropped. And, her Facebook was even busier. It was arge-scale unfollowing scene. Of course, many blessings. Some people who worked together in filming and recording shows were blessing them on Facebook. But most of them were sarcastic. Some of her fans who shipped her with Serena Buster, George Dunn, and the male lead of herst show were heartbroken and howling in thements. Most of them said that she just wanted to seed so quickly, as if she didnt have much of a career. There were also people saying that the man behind her must be a big capital tycoon in the entertainment industry. She married him to get ahead in the entertainment industry. And ording to thements sections spection. This capital tycoon bald, fat and big-eared, over sixty years old Daisy Zane was reading thements while ncing at Arthur North. Just so happened that Arthur North saw her Facebook post and looked over. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Arthur North asked, Publicized it? Yep. Arent you worried itll affect your career? What effect? Nobodys going to cast me in a film? Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, What kind of film do I need others to find for me? Arthur Northughed at her confident and even arrogant tone: What about your fans? Id rather they love the characters themselves, not me. Daisy Zane slowly said, If they dont like Daisy Zane, Ill work hard to get them to like the characters themselves. So the impact wont be too great. Arthur North nodded with a smile. The little girl had always been clear-headed, knowing what she wanted, and never losing herself in the crowd. Thank you, Madam, Arthur North joked. Daisy Zane looked at him. Thank you, Madam, for acknowledging me, Arthur North said softly. Daisy Zane turned her gaze back to the front and said, No need to thank me. I only acknowledged being married, not that its to you. Arthur North: Arthur North replied to a message from his mother and sent one to Xavier Dominic. As he started the car, he said, The person on the marriage certificate is me. If you admit youre married, you admit its to me. Daisy Zaneughed and didnt say anything more, just replied to Hill Dawsons message. After replying to a few messages, Hill Dawson said: [The Hobson Familys public rtions team contacted me. Theyre experienced. Phoebe Turners public announcement was handled very well back then.] Daisy Zane: [Then let them handle it.] As soon as her message was sent, Arthur Norths cell phone rang. Arthur North nced at it while driving and picked it up right away, putting it on speaker. Arthur North! You didnt even tell your mom about such a big thing as getting your marriage certificate! Tom Waynes voice suddenly filled the car. Daisy Zanes expression paused, and she looked at Arthur North. Elina rk also grumbled, You didnt tell your dad either. Facing his parents angry scolding, Arthur Northughed, Im telling you now. Dad, Mom, I got the certificate. Get lost! we would have turned grey waiting for you! Arthur North didnt respond. Tom Wayne continued: Arthur North, with this sudden marriage certificate, did you bully that girl?! Arthur North: Daisy Zane: Speak up! What are you pretending to be mute for? No, Arthur North said. Then why the hurry? Daisy Zanes eyshes quivered slightly. Then she heard Tom Wayne say, You really caught me off guard. I didnt even have enough money for the bride price. I just bought an apartment, the location and environment are great. It was supposed to be a gift to Daisy, but you I havent even renovated the apartment yet! Daisy Zane leaned back in her seat and listened to their conversation. Arthur Northughed, Mom, you can start the renovation now. Prepare more for the bride price. I dont need you to tell me, Tom Wayne yelled and then paused, When are you bringing Daisy back? Arthur North nced at Daisy Zane, Ill talk to her. Okay. Let us know ahead of time. Okay, Arthur North said, Is there anything else? Nothing else, just wanted to scold you. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and looked out the window. Arthur North: Wait a minute, theres something else Tom Wayne said, The following sentence might be me meddling too much and overstepping my boundaries. You may say it, Arthur North said. If you guys want to have children, you should discuss it with Charles Amos. You cant just disregard him. Charles Amos is so sensible, he would definitely agree, but you, as parents, should have the right attitude and respect for our children. Daisy Zane looked at the phone. Arthur Norths eyes shed lightly, saying, We understand. Chapter 375 - 339: Identity Chapter 375: Chapter 339: Identity Trantor: 549690339 The news of Daisy Zanes marriage certificate immediately became a hot search topic. She and Kevin rk went to Cold Green Vige to avoid the chaos, but the outside world was in an uproar. Especially the Maxwell and Miles families. Bonnie Maxwell was furious enough to spit blood. Daisy Zanes Facebook photo only showed the outer cover of the marriage certificate and not the inside. At first, when she saw it, she still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that Daisy had broken up with Kevin and married someone else instead. Because she always thought that Kevin was just attracted to Daisys beauty for a while and would get tired of her eventually. So she subtly inquired at the rk Manor and found out the certificate was indeed with Kevin. She couldnt believe that Kevin was serious and acted so quickly. Not only her but the entire Maxwell family was in a somber mood due to the news. Their daughter had been talked about as Kevin rks fiance in Imperial Capital for so long, but now his wife was someone else. It was a trueughingstock. The Maxwell family had lost facepletely. Most importantly, the great opportunity of a marriage alliance with the rk family was gone. That meant the Maxwell family lost a significant support. Bonnie couldnt stand the atmosphere at home and drove to her living quarters. As soon as she arrived, she called Amelia Miles. As soon as Amelia answered the phone, Bonnie said, How did you handle this? Didnt you already find someone from Cold Green Vige? Why hasnt the newse out yet? Whats the hurry? Amelia Miles nced at the hidden number on her cell phone. They are already married. Bonnie said, She is now Kevin rkswful wife. What do you think will happen if your family finds out? Is she really married to Kevin rk?! What else? Bonnie said, I just found out from the rk Manor. How could Kevin rk marry her? Amelia Miles couldnt believe it. When she saw the marriage certificate, she never even thought about Kevin. She was even happy for a moment, thinking that Kevin had finally let go of Daisy. She didnt expect But he did marry her. Bonnie said. What are you waiting for? Do you want to wait for Daisy Zane to announce that her husband is Kevin rk? At that time, will there be a ce in the Miles family for you and your mother? The person we found suddenly backed out. Amelia Miles said, He got scared, and were still trying to persuade him. Then find another one. Bonnie said. Easier said than done. Do you know how difficult it is to go to that ce? How terrible the environment is? Amelia Miles said, A bunch of barbarians who dont understand anything we say. They dont even want money. Were lucky to have found one. Then hurry up. I know. Like when Daisy Zanes rtionship was exposedst time, dont mention her name. Bonnie said, Otherwise, the news cant spread. Alright. After hanging up, Amelia Miles opened Daisy Zanes Facebook again. She clicked on the photo of the marriage certificate and stared at it for a long time. What kind of luck did Daisy have to get the attention of the rk family without doing anything? What was so good about her that Kevin rk would marry her? She really underestimated her. She was truly skilled in seducing men. While she was looking, Jace Miles came downstairs and saw her sitting on the sofa, staring at her phone. He asked, Youre not going out? After arriving in Imperial Capital, Amelia Miles had been staying at Jace Miles apartment. Ill leave in a bit. Amelia looked at him with an all-nighter appearance and holding the design draft in his hand as he came downstairs. Arent you going to work today? As Jace looked at the design draft in his hand and walked toward the kitchen, he said, I took a day off. Amelia Miles was speechless. Her brother was so absorbed in his designs that he was losing track of day and night. After a while, Jace stepped out of the kitchen with a slice of bread in his mouth and sat across from Amelia. You heard about Daisy Zane getting her marriage certificate, didnt you? Yeah, Amelia replied. How did you all hear about it? Amelia Miles narrowed her eyes and said nonchntly, You know about it too. Dad just called and told me, Jace said. He asked if I knew who the guy was. How would I know? Do you? Amelia Miles immediately said, I dont know. Ive never seen him. Jace looked up at her. Amelia felt goosebumps from his gaze and quickly changed the subject, What have you been looking at that you cant even put it down while eating? Chapter 376 - 339: Identity_2 Chapter 376: Chapter 339: Identity_2 Trantor: 549690339 The design drafts from yson Ninevara. Jace Miles said, Felix Baker gave them to me, saying they were for learning purposes. Are you allowed to show these drafts to people? Amelia Miles stood up when she heard they were yson Ninevaras designs and looked over Jaces shoulder. These are all photocopies. Jace Miles said, yson Ninevara himself agreed. Its just for us to see and learn. Thepany also wants to train designers to improve their skills. ysons designs are indeed amazing. Amelia Miles said, Theyre simple and high-ss, and full of unique artistic elements. Theyre so recognizable! Thats where he excels. Jace Miles replied, Thats why hes the chief designer at Spotlight. One of the most famous jewelry designers in the world. Amelia Miles nodded, Brother, youve been at Spotlight for so long, have you ever met yson in person? Man or woman? No, Jace Miles said, yson doesnt work in-house. Felix has never revealed the gender. So mysterious. Yeah. Jace Miles finished his slice of bread, stood up, and went upstairs, Have a sessful audition this afternoon. Amelia Miles smiled and said, Of course. When Kevin rk and Daisy Zane arrived at Cold Green Vige, it was already dark. The mountain path was difficult to walk, and halfway there, Daisy Zane wanted to switch with Kevin. But Kevin didnt let her, so she slept the entire way. Just like thest time, they parked the car at the foot of the slope and walked up the mountain. They had four suitcases, and Daisy Zane carried two small ones. Inside were clothes and quilts. They were so light that it seemed like nothing was inside. The two suitcases in Kevin rks hands were much heavier,rge and filled with food, drink, and other necessities. The two of them walked slowly uphill with their suitcases. It wasntpletely dark yet, and they could still see the path. After walking for a while, Daisy Zane said, These steps and the stones on top were all ced by Daisy. Kevin rk was surprised. This was the first time the two of them had discussed their identities. He paused for a moment, then said, Thats impressive. Yeah. Tables, chairs, benches, even the bed we slept onst time were all handmade by her., Daisy Zane said, Shes very skillful. Was the double bed made specifically for you? Yes, Daisy Zane said slowly, When I left Continent A, I drifted at sea for three days. After Inded, I traveled by car for a while. Afterward, I walked aimlessly for two days and then arrived here. Kevin rk listened quietly. I had just reached the forest up ahead when I passed out from a high fever, Daisy Zane recalled, When I woke up, I was in the house above. As she spoke, sheughed and said, It was raining heavily, cold and damp at that time. Lucia said I warmed her up when she felt cold. Kevin rk also wanted tough with her, but he couldnt bring himself to do so. He thought of the hardships she had faced on her journey from Continent A. That was my first time living in such a house, sleeping on such a bed, and eating the food here. It took a while to adjust. In the first month, I couldnt eat anything, and Lucia scolded me for being pretentious. We fought every day for three months. She called me delicate and sensitive, while I called her crude and violent. Grandma couldnt move around easily, so she just listened to our fights, asionally intervening when Lucia was about to hit me. Did she ever hit you? She always wanted to when she couldnt win an argument, Daisy Zane smiled, Her strength was immense. Back then, I thought she could take down two of me. Walk slowly, and watch out for the branches, Kevin rk put down the suitcases and helped her block the branches. Daisy Zane continued, We were both so stubborn that it always led to arguments, though she still had to cook for me. She would curse me out while preparing the meal, calling me a fool who couldnt do anything and alwaysining about the taste. How did you stop arguing? We grew tired of it. Lucia was bullied by the vigers when she was young. Since then, she stopped interacting with them. To protect herself, she wrapped herself tightly, even covering her eyes with the veil. Meeting so few people, she was likely intrigued by an outsider like me. At that time, my mood was horrible and my words were harsh. Every time I spoke, a fight would break out. Eventually, we both grew tired and the arguing stopped. As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance to the house. Daisy Zane took out the key to unlock the door. As the lock opened, she noticed something was off. Whats wrong? Kevin rk asked. The lock has been tampered with, Daisy Zane pushed the door open, hung the lock on the door, and ced the suitcases at the entrance. The doors inside the house were locked too when they left. Kevin rk inspected them and saw signs of tampering as well. He opened the door and turned on the light. The room was tidy, as they had cleaned it before they left. However, it was evident that someone had been rummaging through their things. Someone went through our stuff, Kevin rk said, But ?they seemed to be careful not to leave too many traces. Looking at the room, Daisy Zane felt a sudden chill in her blood, as if it had frozen for a moment. She felt the icy pain in her veins. However, Kevin rksment about the intruder being careful warmed her up a bit. This was different from thest time. Last time, the intruders had torn the ce apart, nearly digging three feet into the ground to find what they were looking for. These careful movements indicated that this wasnt the same group of people. Kevin rk held her hand and said gently, Dont worry, maybe someone was just curious and came in to take a look. Daisy Zane squeezed Kevin rks hand and looked at the ceiling in the left front of the room, Theres a CCTV camera in there. But without a card reader, we cant view the footage now. Kevin rk followed her gaze and saw the camera. It was so well-hidden that he hadnt noticed itst time. This camera and her reaction just now hinted that someone had been here before. How long can it store footage? One year, Daisy Zane said, I reced the storage card just before Chinese New Year, right before you arrived. Okay, take it with you when we leave. Alright. Chapter 377 - 340: Appreciating the Night View Chapter 377: Chapter 340: Appreciating the Night View Trantor: 549690339 The two of them briefly cleaned the room, and Kevin rk went to the kitchen to tidy up, and by the way made two bowls of noodles. When he came back with the noodles, Daisy Zane had already put the mattresses and quilts on the bed that they had brought. Eat something first. Daisy Zane put down the quilt, walked up to Kevin rk, took a hair tie from his pocket and tied her hair up, and then sat down. The seafood noodles smelled delicious. Daisy Zane took a bite and it tasted good: Third Master, your skills have improved. Kevin rk slowly picked up the noodles and said with a smile on hearing her words, Thank you for your praise, madam. I didnt say it was delicious; I just said it was improved. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane smiled faintly and said, Its delicious. Trying to tter me? Kevin rk saidzily, I can still win you over. Daisy Zane looked up at him. Kevin rk looked at her serene eyes and raised his eyebrows in triumph, saying, I have a way now. Daisy Zane ignored him and continued to eat the food, feeling stifled as she ate. The more she ate, the more stifled she felt. That night, he had simply bullied her one-sidedly. So, Daisy Zane swallowed the noodles in her mouth and put down her chopsticks, then slowly wiped her mouth. What is it, not to your taste? Kevin rk asked as he looked at the bowl of noodles. No, said Daisy Zane, I just want to fight first, or I wont be able to eat. Kevin rk paused for a second and thenughed. Daisy Zane quietly watched this Fairy n memberugh. After a couple of seconds, she picked up her chopsticks again. She had to admit that the fairy was too handsome, and he looked good when he smiled. She was taken in by his looks: Forget it, Im hungry, and I dont have the energy. This time, Kevin rkughed out loud. How could the little girl be so cute? Daisy Zane: After dinner, the two of them tidied up the ces they hadnt cleaned before and theny down on the bed. As soon as theyy down, Kevin rks arm stretched over Daisy Zanes neck, hooked her and held her in his arms. Kevin rk, this is not Imperial Capital. I know. Do you know how many degrees it is here? Theres a big temperature difference in the mountains, and it gets cold at night, Kevin rk said warmly, holding you will keep me warm. Daisy Zane: Kevin rk gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispered, Go to sleep. Do you need me to sing you a luby? Daisy Zane had a disgusted look on her face, but she rubbed her head on his shoulder, found afortable position, and closed her eyes. Her hand also touched the scar on his body through his clothes: No need, I can sleep. Kevin rk took a quiet breath: Hmm, good night. Good night. In the second half of the night, it started to rain, and the rain was not small; the soundproofing of the house was also poor. The sound of dripping water fell into the ears of Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. Gradually, the rain grew heavier and the sound outside grew louder. Daisy Zane turned over, her back to Kevin rk. As if acting on instinct, Kevin rk immediately pulled her into his arms and gently reassured her. But Daisy Zane still suffered from insomnia. Perhaps she slept too much during the day, or maybe because someone came to this ce again which awakened the memories deep in her heart. She suddenly felt the noise outside was noisy and annoying. Unable to sleep with her eyes closed, Daisy Zane simply opened them. She was afraid of waking Kevin rk and didnt move. However, within a minute of her opening her eyes, Kevin rks voice came from behind her: Cant sleep? Did I disturb you? No. Then Kevin rk said as he held her hand. He became somewhat awake as soon as she turned around, and when he didnt hear her steady breathing, he woke up fully. Kevin rk held her hand and squeezed it for a while, I remember you brought wine, do you want to drink some? Daisy Zane was silent for a while: Okay. She agreed, and Kevin rk got out of bed. Daisy Zane sat on the bed watching Kevin rk take out a folding bed from the suitcase, set it up at the entrance, andid a soft cushion on top of it. Afterward, he opened the wine and poured it. When everything was ready, Kevin rk carried Daisy Zane along with the quilt and ced her on the folding bed. Daisy Zane, wrapped in a quilt, sat on the bed and looked at him with questioning eyes. Kevin rk bent down to kiss the corner of her lips and then got onto the bed. He sat on the bed, holding her from behind. The quilt covered both of them. Kevin rk said, Lets drink and enjoy the night rain. Daisy Zane was held by him from behind, with the quilt wrapped around both of them. Listening to his words, she looked at the rain outside and raised the corner of her mouth. Third Master had a touch of romance. The door was open and slightly chilly. Kevin rk wrapped her tightly with the quilt. Outside was pitch-dark without any light. Only with the light from the room could they vaguely see some tree leaves shivering in the rain. In fact, the scenery wasnt really worth watching. But the fresh air was veryfortable to breathe. Daisy Zane took a sip of wine and said, With this rain ?We probably wont be able to climb the mountain tomorrow. No rush, we can stay here for a few more days. Daisy Zane didnt respond after taking a sip of wine. She knew Kevin rk was busytely and felt a bit headstrong for having him apany her here. The two were silent for a while, listening to the dripping sound outside. When the heart is restless, everything is irritating; when the heart is calm, nature bes perfect music. After listening to the rain for a while, Kevin rk asked, How long did you live here back then? Daisy Zane swirled the wine ss and said, More than half a year. Although the conditions here were very poor, beyond my understanding. I knew that some ces had bad conditions, but theres a difference between knowing and experiencing it firsthand. However, this ce is very peaceful and calming. Daisy ?When shes not scolding anyone, shes really good atforting people, and its veryfortable to be with her. Kevin rks chin rested on her shoulder, watching her eyshes while listening to her talk. She has a great personality, and shes optimistic. Shes happy every day. Even after a fight here, she would turn around and sing happily. What we saw in her was always her expectation for life and hope for the future. So the person who is simr to Anisa Cooper is her. Yeah, Daisy Zane said, But Anisa is more like a child, and Lucia is like a sister. Anisa needs protection, while Lucia protects others. Every time Anisaughed, Daisy would feel a littleforted in her heart. Especially on April 15, when Anisa was angry andughing because of udia Zanes injustice that was finally cleared. For a moment, it felt as if Daisy was standing in front of her. Although I really like it here, there are still many things I havent done. Im also worried about Wilton Edwards and Charles Amos, so I left. But you visited often afterward, right? Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane finished her wine and put the ss aside, I came back once every two or three months. Except for a year-long training period, no matter where she was or how busy she was, she woulde back once every two or three months. I originally wanted to take Lucia and her grandma away, Daisy Zane leaned back on Kevin rk and said. But her grandma insisted on not leaving, very determined. So I tried my best to improve their living conditions. Every time I came back, I brought many things from the outside. Kevin rk could see that many things here were bought from the outside. Some of them were even unusable due to the poor conditions here. Lucia was very curious about the outside world. Since she couldnt go out, I would buy things from outside as much as possible, bring them back and introduce them to her one by one. I also took many photos of the outside world and showed them to her. Then the more she looked, the more curious she became, and the more she wanted to go out, Kevin rk said with a smile. Yes. So she secretly left Cold Green Vige twice without telling her grandma. Daisys tone also turned into a smile, And then she saw Phoebe Turners billboard in town. Kevin rk now understood why Daisys scripts would almost always invite Phoebe Turner. Because the real Daisy loved her. Lucia and I learned about Phoebe Turner. After learning that she was an actress, we learned about many acting-rted things. Later on, we learned about many Best Actresses and the entertainment industry. And then she had a dream of bing a Best Actress, Kevin rk said softly. Yes. She couldnt possibly stay here all her life. Its all from the information you brought from outside, Kevin rk said. Of course, theres no signal here, and she has no way of knowing anything, Daisy Zane closed her eyes and recalled, I visited very frequently during that time. I brought a lot of rted materials, as well as Phoebe Turners autographs and merchandise. Wasnt that a period of being a fan? Kevin rk tried to imagine the scene but couldnt. She missed too much of Lucias life. Not just that. To get closer to the star, she even wrote scripts. Speaking of which, she opened her eyes and looked at the pitch-dark night. During that time, visiting Cold Green Vige and seeing Daisy was the only light in her life. She desperately held onto that light, but in the end, it still disappeared. Chapter 378 - 341 Daisy Zane Chapter 378: Chapter 341 Daisy Zane Trantor: 549690339 Hey, you, the one without a name. Why are you gloomy all the time? Smile a bit, like this. Here, smile. To improve your life, I had to kill the old hen at home. Arent you happy even after getting something good to eat? You really are hard to please. You are lucky to have met me. If it were someone else, they would have discarded you into the mountains by now due to your stubbornness. The white orchids in the mountains have bloomed. They are remarkably beautiful. I picked two for you, do you like them? Arent you happy even after seeing such beautiful things? Be like me andugh out loud. See, doesnt that feel better? Shopie, I dont know what youve been through. But, I can sense your sorrow. I dont know how to help you. Its be challenging for me to argue with you seeing you like this all day. Shopie, life must go on. There will always be someone you cherish. For them, you must take good care of yourself. If not, then at least do it for your own sake. This is your life; no one else has the right to make you give up on yourself. Shopie, one cannot spend their entire life harboring hatred. Aside from hate, there are many wonderful things in life. What do you think about me, for example? Ha ha ha Shopie, will you return? Then please bring me some good food from outside when you return. Id love to taste the delicious food there that makes you despise my cooking. You naughty girl! You havent shown up for over a year. I thought youd forgotten about me and grandma! What on earth have you been doing this past year? It seems like Ive saved an ungrateful wretch! Shopie, what have you done in the past year? Youve gotten so thin and your hair has be so short. When I saw you on the mountain, I mistook you for a man. I was scared and ready to go home for my kitchen knife for self-defense. Shopie, please grow out your hair. I prefer you with long hair, it suits you. Shopie, Ive made up my mind. I want to be a celebrity, the Best Actress, and win numerous awards. I will convince grandma and leave this ce, so wait for me. My great screenwriter, you are amazing. Once grandma agrees to leave with us, you must write a script for me to act in. When that timees, you better not give me any preferential treatment. I want to start from scratch. I want to experience everything from auditioning as a neer to acting as a small actor. I want to progress step by step on my own, as thats where Ill find the sense of aplishment. Dont you agree? I will definitely make the name Daisy Zane appear in the Best Actress lineup, ha ha ha Looking at the pitch-dark night, the real Daisy Zane and her words echoed in Arthurs ears, one after another. Suddenly, she held Kevin rks hand,id her head on the back of his hand, and whispered, Kevin rk Imitted a violent act in this house. Kevin used his other hand to stroke her hair, listening as she continued speaking. Over two years ago, when I returned I found the door of this room wide open. First, I heard Lucias crying, then a mansughter. Kevin held her a bit tighter, kissing the top of her head. When I entered, I found grandma lying beside Lucias bed. She had been stabbed three times in the chest and was losing a lot of blood. In a chilly whisperced with dull emotion, Daisy continued, Lucia was being pinned down by a man two meters away from her, while three other men were off to the side,ughing. Kevin caressed her head, attempting tofort her. He could feel the moist tears on his hand beneath her head. The little girl was crying. Last year, at the Spotlight G in the hotel, that girl had been drugged with 319 and had been bullied. The little girl had almost strangled that man to death then. As before, she was ruthless, and then she suddenly began crying without a warning. Kevin watched her sympathetically. When I got there, Lucia had already stopped breathing. She had cut open her own carotid artery, but those four men still didnt spare her. Little girl Her eyshes fluttered as she continued to stare at the rain outside, speaking in a cool tone, The four men were carried out from here, in a horrific state. Only one survived. He regained consciousnessst year but has since lost his mind. When she arrived, she found Lucia lying on the ground, covered in blood, her clothes torn off. The wound on her neck was deep, and even though she had stopped breathing, her eyes were still fixed on the door. When she pulled the men away from Lucia, her body still held warmth, her blood was still warm, but she had died. If she had returned even a little earlier, she could have prevented it. Even as she tried to cover the cut on Lucias neck, the blood wouldnt stop flowing, the wound wouldnt heal, and the breath wouldnt return. Kevin rk. Im here. Kevin replied softly. It seemed as if she was checking if Kevin was still there. After calling his name, Daisy didnt utter anything for a while, waiting for some time before speaking, One dayter, I went to a ce with a signal and called Diego Giovanni. He brought a forensic doctor for the autopsy. Kevin gently massaged her ear as he listened. It was only a monthter that I left this ce, after seeing the autopsy report. Daisy said quietly. There were three fatal stab wounds on grandmas chest. Lucia had multiple bruises and contusions on her body, the result of a beating. The cut on her neck seemed self-inflicted. Signs of vitions could be seen on her body that urred both before and after her death. She paused, drawing a breath, then said, Both had been injected with a drug, 319. Kevins gaze shifted a little. This must be why she was investigating 319, although it was unexpected that the investigation ultimately led to Edward Kirsten. So the little girl believed that Lucias death was her fault. First Jack Amos, then Daisy Kevin drew a deep breath, feeling as though each breath was drawing in sharp thorns that hurt him everywhere. How could he let his little girl suffer so much? After remaining silent for a while, Daisy turned to bury her head in Kevins shoulder. She whispered, Kevin rk, I am a little cold. Can you hold me tighter? Kevin immediately tighten his arms around her, leaned in to kiss her ear softly, and assured her, Ok, I am here. Kevin rk, why would such an optimistic and positive person like her lose hope? She always encouraged me, yet she lost hope herself. Why did she have to end her life for others mistakes? Daisys words came out slow, like a quiet murmur. It felt as if she was asking not only Kevin, but also Lucia who had left them. Many people are good at preaching to others than practicing themselves, Kevin softlyforted her, 319 can also cause hallucinations. It could not rule out the influence of the drug. I kinda miss her, Daisy murmured softly. From her calm tone, Kevin could sense her vulnerability, the vulnerability hidden behind the hardened exterior. As long as she is in your heart, she will always be with you, Kevin gently consoled her while holding her in his arms, She is just apanying you in a different form. Chapter 379 - 342: Grandma Chapter 379: Chapter 342: Grandma Trantor: 549690339 The rain continued, and Daisy Zane gradually fell asleep in Kevin rks embrace. Listening to her steady breathing, Kevin stroked her head with one hand and gently patted her back with the other. He watched the rain dripping from the eaves, piecing together the little girls past life based on what he now knew. If only he had met her earlier, much earlier. Before Jack Amos died, or before Daisy Zane died, or if she had met him instead of Edward Kirsten. Maybe then he could have protected her. To let her live a lifetime of happiness, worry-free, and willful. Without hate, without guilt After sitting on the folding bed for a while, Kevin carried her back to the bed. As hey her down, Daisy Zane opened her eyes and looked at him. Sleep, Kevin whispered softly. Daisy looked confused in her eyes. After staring at him for a moment, she murmured vaguely, Brother Arthur Hmm? The voice was too soft and unclear, so Kevin didnt hear her well, What? Daisy looked at him for a while, then closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Kevin raised the corner of his lips, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead before lying down beside her. By morning, the rain had stopped, and the sun hade out. But Daisy Zane had not woken, so Kevin didnt move either, sleeping beside her until after ten oclock. When she finally woke up, Daisy didnt get up. It wasnt until Kevin went to cook that she got up to wash and rinse herself before helping him in the kitchen. However, after breaking a te, Kevin took her by the hand and led her to the courtyard. After kissing her for a while, he said, y here for a bit, and then well eat. Daisy: A sweet jujube followed by a bucket of cold water? Daisy didnt mind him and strolled around the courtyard by herself. There were many more weeds in the yard because the ground was still damp fromst nights rain. Daisy walked along the stone-paved path, looking at the little sapling that had been left behind during the Chinese New Year from a distance. The sapling was thin but covered in green leaves. It seemed to be thriving. And it was a White Orchid. It was indeed Daisys favorite flower. Daisy smiled, remembering Kevins words during the New Year about sitting in the shade under the tree once it grew tall. She also thought about what he saidst night. She had always been there, just in another way, apanying him. After looking at the tree for a while, she followed the stone path around to the back of the house. There was an open space behind the house with some vegetables and a chicken coop along the wall, housing several hens. After she woke up here, she had eaten all the eggs the chickens hadid. Her grandma hadnt even gotten to eat any, they had all been given to Daisy. Despite this, one of the chickens had still lost its life because of her. Now the backyard was overgrown with weeds, including some green vegetables. Daisy even spotted a small red tomato near the wall. After looking at it for a while, she pushed through the grass to reach it. There was still a lot of rainwater on the grass, which dampened her clothes a bit. As she approached the wall, she reached out to pick the tomato. But just as she stepped down firmly, the ground beneath her foot gave way, and she quickly steadied herself against the wall with her outstretched hand. She thought the wall had copsed because of the rainwater. But when she pulled her foot back, she saw a bit of metal sticking out from under the dirt. With narrowed eyes, she squatted down to remove the surrounding grass and exposed the object buried in the soil. It was a rusted iron box. She picked up a stick from outside the wall, dug the soilpletely and took the box out. It seemed to have been buried for many years, with its metal corroded. The soil covering it had be thinner and thinner with every wash from the rain. So when Daisy stepped on it just now, she crushed the iron box. Little girl! Daisy looked back when she heard the voice. Seeing her crouching in the weeds, her clothes soaked, Kevin asked, What are you doing there? Fearing he woulde in, Daisy stood up, holding the box and plucking the tomato she had been eyeing earlier. Holding the box in one hand, she showed him the tomato and said, An extra dish for you. Kevin smiled, raising his hand to wipe the water droplets from her face. Then he looked at the crushed box in her hand, What is this? I dont know. I stepped on it and dug it out. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows: This could it be some kind of artifact? Daisy Zane: Kevin rk smiled and took it from her hand, holding her hand and said, Lets open it and see. When they returned to the front courtyard, Kevin rk let Daisy Zane change her clothes, and then the two of them sat down on small stools. Kevin rk pried the box open with a wooden stick from the damaged part. Inside was a thick stack of papers, wrapped in waterproof paper on the outeryer, but the waterproof paper was torn, and a lot of water had still seeped inside. Furthermore, there were ces where insects had nibbled it. Kevin rk carefully spread the papers, taking them off one by one, cautiously. Blue ink writing was on the paper. After years of oxidation, both the handwriting and the ink stains from rainwater had almost entirely faded away. In the first several pages, only faint traces of staining could be seen, and nothing could be seen on them anymore. It wasnt until a dozen or more pages in that some text could be seen, but it was still very blurred. However, some things could still be made out. Approximately, there were some data, solvent names, and some standard-like things. After looking through several dozen pages, they slowly pieced together some information. It was an experimental record. A handwritten, English experimental record. Compared to todays electronic versions, it was not standardized, and it didnt meet some current record standards. Kevin rk furrowed his brow, and Daisy Zanes pupils trembled slightly. For the two of them, these things couldnt be more familiar. They often encountered such things at the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute. The two remained silent, flipping through some more pages. In the middle, several pages had been preserved rtively well. But they were only rtively well preserved. They could make out that there were some antibiotics, antimicrobial drugs, and antituberculous drugs molecr and structural forms. In the following sections, they couldnt make out what they were, just like the earlier pages. Only from the iplete traces of indentations could they guess that they resembled drug synthesis route diagrams. Moreover, looking at the rtively well-preserved pages in the middle, this method of record-keeping seemed more like a manuscript. A personal research manuscript. The two looked at the stack of papers in silence for a while before Kevin rk said, Judging from the quality of this paper, it should be several decades old. Daisy Zane came to her senses, knowing what Kevin rk meant. This might be her grandmothers work: I have never seen it before. Kevin rk touched the rusted iron box again and said, These things seem to be carefully preserved, but at the same time, very casually. The iron box was of good quality, and a waterproof paper wrapper was on the outside of the manuscript. But no matter the quality, if it was buried underground, it would ultimately be damaged. It was only a matter of time. Its a bit like putting it there leaving it up to fate whether its good or bad, Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane stared at the papers without speaking. Back then, someone had almost turned this ce upside down. They were looking for something But from various clues, there were only four of them, and they had nothing suspicious on them. Nothing was missing after she cleaned up the ce. Diego Giovanni also said that if they were looking for something, it seemed they didnt find it. If they didnt find it, why did they have to kill It was too contradictory. Kevin rk was also silent for a while before saying, The olddy was somewhat mysterious. She never mentioned her own past, Daisy Zane recalled, stroking her fingers, She only told me about Daisys background. Because she was afraid that after she was gone, Daisy would leave Cold Green Vige and be bullied by the Miles family. Daisy also didnt know about her. After all, there were so many books at home, too diverse and too extensive in coverage. Moreover, many were written by Victoria Zane herself, and many even had annotations and opinions on them. Furthermore, from their daily conversations, Victoria Zanes erudition could be felt. Most intuitively the real Daisy Zane had never left Cold Green Vige, yet she was taught so well. From any angle, the olddy didnt seem like someone willing to be in Cold Green Vige. Unless there was something inevitable. So she had also asked the real Daisy Zane before, what was her grandmothers job? But she didnt know either. She just said that her grandmother would not talk about it, nor would she allow any questions. I have also asked Johanes Miles in Truro City. He doesnt know either, Daisy Zane said. Chapter 380 - 343: Going up the Mountain Together Chapter 380: Chapter 343: Going up the Mountain Together Trantor: 549690339 Although the manuscript was severely damaged and it was impossible to see what was on it, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane still kept it. There were too many mysteries to solve, and no way to start. They could only keep it and make a n slowly. After lunch at noon and a two-hour rest, the two cleared the weeds in the courtyard. Kevin rk also repaired the slightly damaged parts of the walls and roof. He worked until it was dark and then went to cook. This time Daisy Zane followed him into the kitchen, touching nothing, just sitting on the edge of the stove watching Kevin rk cook. Madam, move back a bit. Be careful not to get sshed by oil. Daisy Zane tried to push her chair back by stepping on the ground. However, the bamboo chair and the ground friction made it difficult to move, and it even creaked and wobbled for a moment. Daisy Zane: . Hearing the sound, Kevin rk looked back and saw her expression,ughed, walked over, bent down and held her knees with his arm. Hold my neck with your hands. Daisy Zane looked at him and embraced his neck. With one arm supporting her knees and one hand holding the chair, Kevin rk stood up, took a few steps back, put down the chair, and bent down to put her on the chair again. Daisy Zane looked closely at his eyebrows and eyes, and after a moment, she gently licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. Kevin rk kissed her, his eyes smiling, Sit for a while, itll be ready soon. Daisy Zane withdrew her hand and leaned back on the chair. Watching Kevin rks silhouette go back to the stove, his broad shoulders and long legs made even the cooking smoke seem like an aura of immortality around him. After a moment, she whispered, Third Master has such a nice waist. Kevin rk turned his head to look at her, seeing her unabashedly scrutinizing him, he hesitated for a moment andughed, Doesnt Madam know if its good or not? Daisy Zanes expression froze: The next day, early in the morning, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk went up the mountain together. On the way, Daisy Zane picked a few white orchid flowers, and Kevin rk helped her carry the wine. When they reached the top of the mountain, the hundred-year-old tree was still flourishing, casting a shadow below. The two tombstones faced south and stood in the shade, looking out at the world outside. Kevin rk looked at Victoria Zanes tombstone and the nk tombstone beside it. Daisy Zane cleared away the weeds around it, and after watching for a while, Kevin rk set down the wine and helped her clear the weeds as well. After finishing, Daisy Zane squatted down to open the wine and soon said, This Chinese New Year, I wont being back as Ill be on a drama set. So I came to see you now. Kevin rk stood behind her, watching her with a downward gaze. He rarely heard the little girl speak in such a rxed tone. She was also rxed with him, but it was a different state of rxation. Her current rxation was like the state of rxation before experiencing changes. With him, she had experienced everything andpletely transformed into a new person. The wine I brought this time is a bit strong. Daisy Zane poured the wine into the ss, I always think its taste is a bit strange, so I brought it to let you try it too. With the wine poured, and the wine sses ready. Daisy Zane looked at the nk tombstone, This time I brought an extra person. His name is Kevin rk, and we just got our marriage certificate a few days ago. So I brought him along. Kevin rk also looked at the nk tombstone. Its not just about his face, he Daisy Zane said, raising the corners of her mouth, Hes really good. Hearing herpliment, Kevin rk lowered his head and smiled as well. After a moment of silence, Daisy Zane continued, Ive cleared Aunt Zanes identity. Both dramas I filmed have aired, and the response has been very good. They n to focus on making a movie for the awards next time. At the time, the decision to go to Truro City was due to various reasons. First, because Truro City was a film studio, TV series were almost all filmed there, which was very convenient, so she bought the Evesting Pce. Second, because she had suspicions that the people who came to Cold Green Vige to kill were from the Miles Family. She had done investigations for nearly a year but found nothing. She had investigated the Miles Family from head to toe without any results. The only clue she had was the person she had knocked unconscious. So, in the absence of any guidance, she chose to be closer to the Miles Family to do her investigation. Of course, another reason was to rify the identities of udia Zane and Daisy Zane. Since she couldnt find the murderer, she didnt know where to find a bit offort and what else she could do for them. Although the things she did were insignificant, doing them made her feel a littleforted. Moreover, whether she was impersonating Daisy Zane or the real Daisy Zane would be popr as soon as she set foot in the entertainment industry. Their origin would inevitably be disclosed. Even if the real Daisy Zane left Cold Green Vige to act, she would do the same thing to help her rify her identity. The Miles Family, Amelia Miles in particr, acted as a catalyst in the process of rifying her identity. Daisy Zanes identity was not revealed byizens from the beginning. It was Amelia Miles who spread the information. She didnt deny that she went to Truro City with a purpose, but the current situation of the Miles Family was their own doing. If only Johanes Miles treated her, who was impersonating Daisy Zane, a little better, if he had a little guilt for Daisy Zane and shared some of his love for Amelia Miles with her. The Miles Family would not have ended up like this today. Daisy Zane talked a lot to the empty tombstone. Kevin rk stood behind her all along and apanied her. After a long time, Daisy Zane stood up, took two steps back, and stood together with Kevin rk: Ill show you the photos of Daisy. Kevin rk looked at her: Okay. Daisy Zane found an encrypted album, typed in the password, and there were more than a thousand photos inside, all of her with Daisy Zane and Victoria Zane. There were also manyndscape photos. They were all from Cold Green Vige. She flipped through and found a solo photo of Daisy Zane. Her shoulder-length hair, a lively and gentle appearance, her eyes were spirited, and her left cheek dimpled when she smiled. Through the screen, one could feel her aura and vivacity. Most importantly, she looked so much like Amelia Miles. Apart from that spirituality and dimple, she was almost identical. She also resembled Johanes Miles but looked even more like Amelia Miles. Kevin rk looked at the little girl, looking at her drooping eyes with a hint of a smile. Perhaps this was the reason why she never came down hard on Amelia Miles and Johanes Miles. If Amelia Miles was gone, there would never be anyone as simr to her in this world. Even if they only looked alike, seeing them for a moment would be enough. If Johanes Miles was gone, there would be no one in this world connected to her. So even if she hated them, she never got ruthless with them. Lets go back. Daisy Zane closed her cell phone and said faintly. Alright. Chapter 381 - 344 Mr. Jing Chapter 381: Chapter 344 Mr. Jing Trantor: 549690339 M Continent Dance Theater Ste Edwards had just finished her performance and stepped off the stage when she was handed a bouquet of roses backstage. Seeing the roses, those around her joked, Ste, did your boyfriend send flowers again? With the roses in her hand, a joy grew in Stes heart as sheughed and said, Nonsense, hes not my boyfriend. Not your boyfriend, yet he sends flowers for every performance, roses at that, quipped a young girl nearby. If not a boyfriend, he must be an admirer. Ste, youre irresistible. Hes been pursuing you for so long. Every time youre in the M Continent, right after your performance, theres always a flower waiting for you. Ste chuckled, a soft twinkling in her eyes. The man was neither her boyfriend nor had he ever shown intentions of courting her. He was simply very kind to her. If hes impressive and decent, I might consider it. Im at an age to entertain a rtionship. Ste pressed her lips together, her heartbeat racing a bit. After jesting around a bit more, Ste went to change her clothes. Once in the changing room, Ste took a whiff of the roses and then looked at the card that came with the bouquet. [Congrattions on a sessful performance. Do you have time? Im waiting outside. -Edward.] Seeing the message on the card deepened the smile in her eyes. She quickly changed her clothes, removed her stage makeup, and promptly applied a light, fresh-faced look. Before leaving, she checked her appearance in the mirror, revealing a faint smile. Once satisfied, she promptly made her way to the entrance. A Rolls-Royce was parked outside. The moment she caught sight of the car, the rear window rolled down. Edward Kirsten, wearing a ck mask, smiled at her and said, Ste, over here. Ste broke into a smile and ran over, Mr. Kirsten. A hint ofughter colored Edwards pale blue eyes, Ill take you to something delicious. Alice Eugene, who was driving ahead, slightly lowered her gaze upon hearing this. This was something Edward often said to Kiara Lawrence. Ok. Ste climbed into the car, and Edward reached up to remove his mask. He had sharp features and apart from his pale blue eyes, he did not seem to be of mixed ethnicity. His lips were pale, radiating a cool, attractive charm. Ste always saw him dressed in a perfectly tailored three-piece suit. She always thought him to be a wealthy aristocrat. She had rarely seen his face. Other than the first time and now, he was always either wearing sunsses or a mask. Mr. Kirsten, when did you arrive? Ste asked. Edward Kirsten hinted at a smile, his words fulfilling her anticipations, The dance was excellent. So was the performance. Steughed, I made slight modifications to my dance moves as per your suggestions. My teacher saw it and was not only convinced but also very delighted. You were naturally gifted anyway, Edward was also very satisfied with her dance this time. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Stes phone began to ring. It was a call from Sophie Ortiz. A routine query. Every time after a performance, Sophie would call her. If she had time, she would apany Ste for her performances in various ces. Ste spoke a few words with Sophie and then hung up the call. Seeing her hang up, Edward said, Your teacher is very kind to you. Yes, she treats me like her daughter, Ste said. As she spoke, the darkened screen of her phone identally lit up again. Edward subdued his gaze towards her, but seeing that her phone screen became bright again, he instinctively looked over. Then he gazed at the phone, his eyes narrowing slightly. This is Edward gently inquired. Ste Edwards looked down at her cellphone screen and said while looking at the screensaver, This one? Mmm. Edward Kirsten looked at the screen. She is Flynn Ninevara, Ste Edwards said, You know, the screenwriter for the movie I told you I was in. Flynn Ninevara? Edward Kirsten looked at the picture, which resembled a still from a show, and asked, Do screenwriters need to take such photos now? No. Her real name is Daisy Zane, and she is also an actor, Ste said while looking at the screensaver, she is amazing, both of the shows she acted in were huge hits. Shes a very famous screenwriter, and I really like her. Upon hearing the words Daisy Zane, Alice Eugene looked at Edward Kirsten through the rearview mirror. Edward Kirsten, however, looked as calm as always, only staring at the screensaver. Then he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and repeated, Daisy Zane. Yes. Shes indeed very amazing. Although her family background isnt good, she is very talented, Ste Edwards, who genuinely likes Daisy Zane, spoke enthusiastically, otherwise, she wouldnt have set Daisys still as her screensaver. Her family background isnt good? Edward Kirsten inquired curiously. Ste Edwards had a lot to say about Daisy Zane: Her father was part of the Truro Song Family, so she came from a well-off family. However, her father cheated, and her mothermitted suicide due to depression when Daisy Zane was less than a month old. She grew up with her grandmother in Cold Green Vige, which is a very poor ce by domestic standards. Do you know her grandmothers name? asked Edward Kirsten. Ste Edwards blinked, unsure why he would suddenly ask this. But she still answered: I heard its Victoria Zane. Her mothers name is udia Zane. Daisy Zane, Victoria Zane, udia Zane, Cold Green Vige. Everything matched. These facts fit exactly with the person they had been looking for. Alice Eugene caught several glimpses of Edward Kirsten through the rearview mirror. The usually calm and quiet man seemed somewhat restless now. But Edward Kirsten kept staring at that photo. He had not seen his Enigma for too long Edward Kirsten had been spending nearly all his time in theboratory, leaving him very little time for himself. He hardly ever went online, partly because he felt no need to, and partly because he thought it was unsafe and would easily expose him to tracking. He only asionally asked Alice Eugene to look up something online. Even the information that Harton rk was by her side was discovered by Alice Eugenes chance encounter in Red Cliff Vige. It wasnt that he hadnt tried to find her before. But for the first few years after she left Continent A, he couldnt find any trace of her. He was well aware of Enigmas hacker abilities. If she wanted to hide, it would be too easy for her. Moreover, back then, he was being heavily tracked, so he had to put off searching for her temporarily. And after Alice Eugene encountered her in Red Cliff Vige, he didnt bother to look her up again. What he needed was to rebuild his forces quickly. Once he rebuilt his forces and exposed his whereabouts, Enigma would definitelye to find him. What he needed was a force capable of trapping her. Aside from that, even if he found out where she was and what she was doing, it would all be futile if he couldnt bring her back. Thus, he had no idea that Enigma was acting in domestic movies, and naturally would pay no attention to domestic entertainment news. The phone call during Chinese New Year was traced through a tracker that Enigma had stuck to her hair in Red Cliff Vige. But the mobile number was registered under the name Nicholson Amos. He was able to trace the mobile number through the tracker, but couldnt find any other information, and couldnt even locate the cellphone. At that time, he thought that it might have been a trap set up by Enigma. Therefore, when Alice Eugene started searching, they didnt do it on their own turf. They even changed locations several times during the search as a precaution. And after he found the number, he quickly made the call and then swiftly moved to another location. However, he was nearly tracked down. Edward Kirsten indeed didnt expect that she would dare to cause such amotion domestically. She hadpletely exposed herself to the public. Among the people with him now, except for Alice Eugene, everyone else who had seen Enigma was already gone. So even if his people saw her online, or if the domestic people saw her in person, they would not know that Daisy Zane was the Enigma he spoke of. But many people had seen Alozon Kirsten. This resulted in his domestic people finding out where Alozon and Jack Kingsley lived, and they nearly managed to seize Jack Kingsley. However, they didnt bring back even the slightest bit of news about Enigma. If he had known If he had known that Enigma had be an actor, why would he watch those old videos over and over again every day?

Trantor:549690339 After having dinner together, they sent Ste Edwards back. Edward Kirsten and Alice Eugene left. On the way, Alice Eugene kept looking back at Edward Kirsten.
Meanwhile, Edward Kirsten was watching Fall of the Quince. During dinner, he asked Alice Eugene to buy a tablet, logged in with Ste Edwards mobile number, and also opened a five-year membership. It was downloaded using the restaurantswork. Then Edward Kirsten kept watching the tablet, looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar people on the screen. When Alice Eugene looked back at him for the Nth time, Edward Kirsten said without looking away from the tablet, Speak. Alice Eugene looked at the road ahead, pursed her lips, and said softly, Enigma used Daisys identity. They Cold Green Vige is located in a coastal province, Edward Kirsten said lightly, Theres a high chance Enigma entered that province when she came from Continent A. Did they know each other at that time? Spection. Back then, when we sent people to look for ra, they mysteriously lost contact, Alice Eugene said, We sent people to Cold Green Vigeter on. We saw two tombstones on the mountain top. We thought they were dead. Edward Kirsten looked at the tablet and smirked, Indeed, they are dead. Its just that Enigma is living on behalf of Daisy.
Things have be simpler, Edward Kirsten smiled, As long as we bring Enigma back, theres hope to find what we want. Will she know? Shes the only hope now. Alice Eugene pressed her lips together and said nothing more. Edward Kirsten didnt talk either, looking down to continue watching the show. His eyes revealed a smile unintentionally. At Cold Green Vige, Daisy and Kevin rk came down from the mountain, ate, packed their things, and headed back. When it got dark, they arrived at the airport. Without stopping, they boarded the airne and flew back to Imperial Capital. The time they arrived at the Imperial Capital wasntte. After having dinner at Doomsday Hotel, both of them went back to Rose Garden. Upon returning, Kevin rk took a shower andy down with Daisy. After she fell asleep, he carefully got out of bed again What are you going to do? Kevin rk heard the voice, paused, and looked back at Daisy. Bending over, he kissed her face, Theres some work to handle, sleep. Daisy opened her eyes and asked, Do you need help?
Not necessary, just somepany matters, Kevin rk touched her face, and after a while, he leaned forward and rubbed his forehead against hers, Sleep, Ill be back once Im done. Daisy closed her eyes. Kevin rk went to the cloakroom to put on clothes and returned to the bedside to give her another kiss before leaving. All this time, Daisy felt Kevin rk leaving, and after a while, she pulled the quilt over her head. The next day, Daisy woke up past eight oclock. After washing up, she turned on herputer and reorganized her previously summarized hacker tutorials. More than an hourter, she had fully prepared and saved them onto a USB sh drive. Then she went downstairs for breakfast. She was wearing her pajamas, her hair ubed. Upon going downstairs, she saw Juan Wright sitting on the sofa. Juan Wright stood up as soon as he heard her, Teacher, morning. Its not early anymore. Juan Wright smiled and said, Teacher, Third Master is busy and cant get away. He asked me to bring breakfast from Doomsday Hotel.
Okay, Daisy paused, then went back upstairs, Ive got something for you. For me? Juan Wrights eyes brightened up. Mhm. Just wait a moment. Daisy Zane went upstairs to switch on theputer again. She found a new USB sh drive and copied the file she had just prepared. As she came back downstairs, halfway down the staircase, her eyes met Juans expectant look, and a gentle voice reached her ears. Daisy stopped in her tracks, and Juans gaze froze as well. The voice outside continued, Arthur North bought this ce at the time because he thought the location was good. He neveres here, and the servants just take care of it. These roses are just left here; you might as well take them all away. Daisy and Juan exchanged a nce. Having recovered first, Juan began to walk towards the entrance of the living room. But before he reached the entrance, the person outside entered. Natalie Wayne was talking to someone next to her as she came in: Theres a greenhouse here with roses that are still blooming Upon entering the living room, Natalie caught sight of Daisy on the staircase, and her words immediately trailed off. She stopped in her tracks, and Jane Chester followed suit, standing next to her. Natalie and Daisy locked gazes across the expanse of the living room. For a moment, no one spoke, and it felt as if the air itself had solidified. It was Juan who broke the silence, as he approached Natalie with a respectful bow. Madam, Sister. His words prompted a reaction from Natalie and Daisy. Natalie was the first to show a polite smile and adjusted her hair. Daisy also grasped her slightly disheveled hair and descended the staircase. Daisy, I see you here, Natalie greeted gently as she walked in, her face full of warmth and kindness. Daisy approached her, hesitated, and chose a form of address: Madam, Senior Sister. Jane responded with a smile. Natalie looked at Daisy. Despite wearing pajamas and having messy hair, she was still stunning and exceptionally attractive with her cold and detached demeanor. Sensing her difort, Natalie advised, Dont call me madam; just call me aunt. Daisy gently rubbed her fingertips together and softly assented. Did you just wake up? Natalie asked warmly. Ive been up for a while, Daisy replied, ncing at the living room clock. It was already 9:30. Her voice remained calm, slightly cold, but it was not hard to detect the respect in her words as well as a hint of barely perceptible awkwardness. Havent you had breakfast yet? Wheres Arthur? Isnt he here? Natalie looked around and eximed, Hes not even feeding you breakfast?! Daisy: Madam, Third Master has some matters to attend to, Juan exined. He asked me to buy breakfast. Would you and Sister Jane like to join us? Whats he busy with all day long? Cant he even find time for breakfast with his wife?! Natalie grumbled, and then she took Daisys hand with a smile, Auntie will have breakfast with you. Natalie led Daisy towards the dining room while exining, I didnt know you were living here. Arthur usually goes to the rk Manor when hes not around. Today, I wanted to bring Jane along to dig up some rose bushes. Auntie didnt bring anything for you, but Ill make it up to you next time. Daisy handed the sh drive to Juan, and then nced at Natalie, who was still holding her hand. Her fingertips stirred slightly but eventually let her continue holding her hand. Youre too kind. Juan looked at the sh drive in his hand and, though not knowing its contents, held it like a precious treasure. Natalie chuckled and asked, Do you have some timeter? Daisy pushed her errands back a bit and replied, Mhm. Great. Were going shoppingter, why dont you join us? Jane Chester chimed in, Thats a great idea, lets all go together. Daisy managed to reply without any change in her expression, Alright. Chapter 383: 346: Shopping Chapter 383: 346: Shopping
Trantor:549690339 Kevin rk was busy at thepanyst night, and then went to the Research Institute early in the morning. He was busy until past eleven oclock.
During these days that he went to Cold Green Vige, it was William Lane who took over his tasks. Now he also nned to go home and rest. William Lane, dragging his whiteb coat, said, Are we going to Mountain Sea Continent in a few days? Yeah. Together? What about theboratory? William Lane said. True. How long will it take toe back? After thinking about it, Kevin rk said, At most half a month. So fast this time? Kevin rk looked at him and said leisurely, I have a family now, and I cant be wandering outside for too long. William Lane: He just asked too much. Kevin rk smiled and said, Its been a long time since Ive been back. Ill take this opportunity to deal with some things. As for training, let Thomas Firway take care of it.
Indeed. How about the training you personally provided? You still had one fake death and leaving. Kevin rks eyes were filled with a fleeting darkness at the mention of this. William Lane looked at him and said, Kevin rk, Im a bit curious. If you meet him, can you beat him? Kevin rk raised his eyebrows slightly. He didnt speak, but his meaning couldnt be clearer. William Lane smiled. He knew best how to deal with the person he had trained: If you really meet him, what do you n to do? Kill him with my own hands. Can you do it? William Lane said softly, After all, he is one trained by you. Kevin rk chuckled lightly, Hes just a traitor. After leaving the Research Institute, Kevin rk got into his car and called Daisy Zane first. The first call rang to automatic hang up, and the second call was directly hung up. He frowned slightly, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He dared not make a third call, instead found Juan Wrights mobile number and called it.
However, when Juan Wright answered the call, both of his hands were full of things he bought. He put some of the things on the side of the shopping mall, and after a while, he finally freed his hands to answer the phone. Third Master. Where are you? We are at the Commerce and Trade. Juan Wright looked at the three women who had already walked far away and felt bitter. Commerce and Trade? Madam and Jane Chester went to the Rose Garden in the morning, Juan Wright said, then Teacher followed Madam and Jane Chester to the Commerce and Trade. Theyve been shopping for almost an hour. Kevin rks heart sank, and he felt his blood run cold. He was silent for a moment before asking, How is the little girls mood now? Teacher? Teacher is quite happy. Juan Wright looked at them and said, The three of them areughing and chatting, and they bought a lot of things. Kevin rk closed his eyes. She was quite happy, but she hung up his phone call. That means she was pretending to be happy. Kevin rk immediately hung up the phone and drove to the Commerce and Trade.
At this time, Daisy Zane, wearing a light green long skirt, was walking slowly beside Natalie Wayne, listening to Natalie Waynes words, and responding asionally. When Natalie Wayne saw something and asked her, she would express her own opinion. She felt that the acting skills of her entire life were used at this time. Turning a thing that she hated into a normal thing to deal with. The entire fifteenth floor of the Commerce and Trade building were Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts stores. There were few people on this floor. When the three of them came up, Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester entered a nearby store. Daisy Zane went to answer a phone call. It was Morris who called, telling her that the previous movie, the one with Ste Edwards as the Female Lead, was about to be broadcast, and asked if she would attend the premiere. Daisy Zane told him not to go. Then the two of them chatted about the new script for a few minutes. No more than 5 minutester, when Daisy Zane returned, she saw someone was giving Natalie Wayne a hard time. She walked over listening to the voice. The other party was a celebrity. When Daisy Zane was filming her second drama, the Female Lead of the neighboring drama crew was already famous for many years. Years ago, Morris invited her to film a movie, but she refused because the ie was too low. Daisy Zane only remembers herst name, Xu, but she couldnt remember her first name clearly. In front of others, Natalie Wayne always maintained a gentle image. Even if the person opposite was picking a fight, she still tried to reason. You couldnt see her momentum when she scolded Kevin rk at all. Daisy Zane listened as she approached. Natalie Wayne said, Miss, theres an order to buying things. I saw this dress first, and Im going to check out. If you still want it, wouldnt it be inappropriate? It hasnt been checked out yet, has it? If its not checked out, then we have the right topete equally for this dress. Chapter 384 - 346: Shopping_2 Chapter 384: Chapter 346: Shopping_2 Trantor: 549690339 Natalie Wayne couldnt help butugh at her words. Jane Chester also chuckled, Miss, weve already decided to buy this dress. I said, its not paid for, right? Miss Johnson looked at the salesperson and said, How much is this dress? Ill pay double the price. The salesperson nced at Johnson Lily, and then at Natalie Wayne but she had never seen her before. She then smiled and said, Since Miss Johnson likes it, Ill pack it up for you. A mocking sh appeared in Natalies eyes. Jane couldnt help but sneer, Is that how Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts sells things? The salesperson showed a standard smile and said, Since you havent paid yet, others naturally have the right to choose. Didnt I just say to pack it up for me? Jane Chester insisted. The salesperson ignored her outright. Jane tried to speak, but she really couldnt find the words. It was the first time she heard about such a situation. Natalie Wayne didnt expect to encounter this kind of situation, either. Johnson Lily looked at them and revealed a smug smile, In such a luxurious ce, the one with money rules. Do you know how much I spend here in a year? Its enough for your ten years living expenses. Jane Chester almost rolled her eyes at her, took out her card, and put it on the cashier counter, Whoever pays first gets it, so Ill pay now. Johnson Lily, who was looking at other clothes, turned when she heard it. Jane said, Swipe the card. The salesperson hesitated for a moment and then smiled, Miss Johnson is one of our senior members and has priority choice. So its a must to sell this dress to her today. The salesperson remained silent. Johnson Lily grinned, Of course. I contribute so much to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts every year. The two of you should just stop wasting your effort trying topete with me. The salesperson smiled and took the dress down to prepare to pack it. Jane Chester took a step forward, trying to stop her, but Natalie Wayne stopped her, Lucia is here. Jane halted. Today, they were out shopping with Daisy Zane. Because their mood was affected due to this incident, they hadnt been good hosts, which was indeed impolite. Its not a big deal anyway; they could handle it afterward. Jane suppressed her anger, put a smile on her face, and turned to look at the entrance. Daisy Zane was just walking in, so she asked, Is Lucia back? Johnson Lily looked up at the entrance when she heard the voice. Natalie also smiled, the incident earlier didnt affect her that much. She grabbed Lucias hand as she walked in and said, Lucia, lets go check out the other side. Daisy Zane held her hand back and nced at Jane Chester, then said, Auntie, Senior, please sit down for a while and wait. Natalie Wayne immediately understood. From where she had just walked in, there was a blind spot, and she had heard, Lucia Daisy Zane patted her hand, indicating that its fine. Natalies eyebrows moved slightly, and she was curious about how Daisy would handle it. So, she and Jane sat down together. At this time, Johnson Lily also came over, Daisy Zane? You know her? Daisy Zane gave her a nce and then looked away, ignoring her. She texted Joseph Allen: [Have the person in charge here at Clear Moon Pavilione. Someone needs to be let go.] Seeing how Daisy ignored her, Johnson Lilyughed, What, now that youve had a couple of sessful shows, you think youre too good for everyone as a great screenwriter? Only those without fame are willing to act in your scripts, so whats there to be arrogant about? Daisy Zane still ignored her. Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester both looked at her. Feeling disregarded, Johnson Lily became even angrier: I didnt expect you toe here. Is it your first time? See anything you like? Can you afford it? How did you manage to get into the showst time? Daisy Zane still paid her no mind. The more Johnson Lily didnt get a response, the angrier she became, and the more offensive her words. She sized Daisy Zane up and said, If you cant afford Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, just wear the knockoffs. Do you think thats not embarrassing? Each piece imitates Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts annual theme colors. Are you really that poor? Be careful that Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts dont sue you. The salesperson came out holding the wrapped clothes and happened to pass by Daisy Zane, who directly grabbed the shopping bag containing the clothes. The salesperson stopped in her tracks and looked at her. Daisy directly pulled out the clothes that were wrapped inside. The salesperson frowned, Miss, Miss Johnson has already imed this dress. She hasnt paid for it yet, Daisy said indifferently. Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester both chuckled. The salesperson was at a loss for words. Johnson Lily asked, Daisy Zane, what do you think youre doing? Buying clothes. Cant you see, Miss Johnson? Daisy looked at the embroidery on the sleeve of the dress, I also happen to want this one. Seeing her constantly touching the embroidery, the salesperson said, This dress is very expensive. If its damaged, you have to pay for the original cost. Can you afford it? Daisy paused her finger, looked up at her, and said softly, How were you trained? Are Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts made of paper? Touching it would cause damage? The salesperson was at a loss for words again, and reluctantly said, Touching it and making it dirty is also something you have topensate for. What can happen if I dontpensate? Daisy confidently asked. Salesperson: You Johnson Lily scoffed and mocked, You think Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts are your home? Just because you say you wontpensate doesnt mean you wont. Actually, it is her home, a voice suddenly sounded at the entrance. Everyone looked at the entrance. Joseph Allen walked in with his secretary, assistant, and the person in charge of this ce. He looked at Daisy, his eyes filled withughter, but his voice was somewhat cold, Not just one dress. Even if she smashed or burned this entire floor, she wouldnt need to pay anypensation. Even the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts headquarters would be at her disposal. Everyone was stunned upon seeing Joseph. The mall outside had pictures of Joseph Allen on disy, who did not know him? Natalie Wayne looked at Joseph, and especially after hearing his words, she immediately exchanged nces with Jane Chester. Neither of them spoke, but they both saw the two words love rival in each others eyes. Mr. Allen, the salesperson only reacted when he approached and immediately lowered her head to greet him. Johnson Lily also looked at Joseph Allen, momentarily unable to react. Joseph, oblivious to everyone else, walked directly to Daisy, Its quite a wonder, Lucia starts shopping. Daisy gave him a signal with her eyes and said softly, Nearby? Joseph caught her eye but still answered her question first, I was inspecting the store. It happened to be nearby. After saying that, he looked to the side. Seeing Natalie and Jane Chester, he immediately smiled warmly, Boss Wayne, what brings you here today? Natalie Wayne stood up and smiled, Mr. Allen, long time no see. We were close by so we came over. The salespersons face instantly turned pale, even her lips were white, a sickly white. Johnson Lily also immediately fell silent. They knew Joseph Allen, and they were so familiar with him. Joseph looked at Daisy, knowingly said, Taking Lucia out shopping. With one sentence, he established a rtionship with Daisy. Although it was familiar, it sounded more like an elder brother to a younger sister. And he knew about their rtionship. Natalie naturally understood his words and asked without changing her expression, Mr. Allen knows Lucia? Boss Wayne, you and Lucia have quite a connection, Joseph said. How so? Natalie asked curiously. Joseph nced at Daisy, then took off her little vest, Shes Shopie Easton. Natalie was momentarily stunned, then suddenly looked at Daisy. Chapter 385 - 347: Hero Saves the Beauty Chapter 385: Chapter 347: Hero Saves the Beauty Trantor: 549690339 Seven or eight years ago, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts had just started. Natalie Wayne identally discovered clothes designed by Shopie Easton and fell in love with them. She specifically asked Shopie to design clothes for her for almost a year. So, for almost a year, Shopie only designed clothes for Natalie. But she had never met Natalie, and didnt even know who she was making them for. She only listened to a rough description given by Joseph Allen of Natalies appearance, upation, temperament, personality, and preferences and designed clothes based on that information. Because it brought a considerable profit to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts at the time, she dly agreed to the arrangement. At the scene, not only was Natalie surprised to see Daisy Zane, but Jane Chesters brain waspletely stunned. And both Johnson Lily and the salesperson were dumbfounded. Johnson Lily couldnt ept this fact, feeling like she was dreaming or her ears were ying tricks on her. The more arrogant she had been just now, the more embarrassed she was now. Because the capital she used to show off was actually someone elses. Lucia is Shopie? Tom Wayne asked. Joseph nodded, his tone proud: Yes. Tom looked at Joseph, then at Daisy, and after a while, murmured, How young she was back then. Daisy did not speak. In her teens, Josephughed. Tom was at a loss for words, unsure whether to marvel at fate or her sons taste. She suddenly wanted to call Elina rk and share her emotions at this moment. Joseph looked at Daisy. In fact, the entire Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts was nothing significant for the rk Family. Butpared to the entire rk Family, all Joseph could do for Daisy was just these things. Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts will always serve as her support. Joseph said, Boss Wayne, please rest for a while, I need to handle some matters. Okay. Tom and Jane stood aside, watching them and digesting the recent events. Joseph looked at Johnson Lily and then the salesperson, asking Daisy, Lucia, did you say you want to fire her just now? Yes. Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen. The salesperson looked at Joseph, Im sorry, I didnt mean to. I didnt know she is the Shopie designer, I didnt know thisdy is acquainted with you. I So, if shes someone else, you could just bully and insult her at will? Daisy retorted, Youre a disgrace, and Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts cant afford the shame. Im sorry, Im sorry. The salesperson kept bowing. Daisy ignored her. Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen. Mr. Easton I cant lose this job. If I leave here, who would dare to hire me. I have a family to support; I cant lose this job. The salesperson cried, tears streaming down her face. In a soft voice, Daisy asked her, Why are you crying? while handing her a tissue paper from the side. The salesperson took the tissue paper, thinking Daisy was going soft, and wiped her tears while saying, Mr. Easton, Im sorry. Ill never do it again. Please give me another chance. Daisy looked at her and stroked the clothes in her hand, saying, Clothes, I can barely understand why youd let someone pay you first. But just now, when she tried to pay, you didnt allow her. Whats the logic in that? I wont do it again, I wont. Ignoring her, Daisy continued in a soft voice, Because of your fawning, ipetence, and snobbishness, you offended people. In the end, its Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts who has to pay the price. Today, I was here, and they were selling me a favor. What if I wasnt here? Tomorrow, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts would be torn apart, not even leaving a single bone. Joseph and Tom exchanged nces and both politely smiled before looking away. As Johnson Lily looked at Tom, she felt her body getting colder and colder. It seemed she had offended quite a figure. Then Ill be the one crying at that time. Daisy spoke slowly, I have no reason to keep someone who almost caused a loss to thepany. Mr. Easton, Mr. Easton, I Dont say you need to support your family; who doesnt? Daisy interrupted her, You caused the problem, take responsibility. The salesperson saw that pleading with Daisy was futile, so she turned to Joseph, Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen. Give me one more chance. Joseph looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, Wipe your tears, and leave here with dignity. The salesperson couldnt hold back her tears. The choked sobbing, like she was suffocating to death. Chapter 386 - 347: Hero Saves the Beauty_2 Chapter 386: Chapter 347: Hero Saves the Beauty_2 Trantor: 549690339 Arthur felt sorry for her as she cried pitifully. Daisy didnt look at her anymore and turned to Lily Johnson. The moment Lily met her gaze, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she staggered back a step, What do you want? Shouldnt Miss Johnson apologize? I, why should I apologize? And why should I? Lily said, What? You use your power to bully your employees. Shouldnt you apologize to them? Sophie Easton has the right to manage Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts. Theres no bullying in just firing an employee, Joseph Allen said with a sarcastic smile. Well, then, why should I apologize? I will not apologize. Do you know how many fans I have? Their spit alone can drown you. Lily raised her arrogant head, refusing to bow. Lets see if you can leave this ce today, Daisy said, looking at her. What do you want? Dare to confine me? Daisy looked at her without saying anything, even raising the corner of her lips slightly. But Lily realized that she dared to confine her, and Daisys cold, chilling, and contemptuous gaze told her that she could do even worse. Lily stepped back again, looked at Daisy, and then at Joseph Allen and Arthur North. Everyone here had an easygoing expression on their faces, as if they didnt care about her at all. Daisys gaze was too frightening; she had never seen such a terrifying look before. She might not be able to leave this ce after all. I, Im sorry. I apologize for my reckless words. In the end, Lily lowered her noble head. Daisy looked away and said indifferently, Dont just say it to me. Lily looked at Arthur North and Jane Chester, hesitated for a moment, walked over to them and bowed to apologize, Im sorry for my inappropriate words and not recognizing your greatness. I have troubled both of you. Being treated like a queen by everyone, she hadnt tasted the bitterness of bowing for a long time. When she finally said it, her voice trembled. She seemed wronged beyond words. Seeing this, Joseph looked at his secretary and said, Take Miss Johnson to calm down. The secretary immediately understood. Joseph wanted her to seal the celebritys mouth. They were familiar with Lily, who had been a celebrity for many years with a solid fan base. If she were to make inmmatory statements about Sophie Easton or Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts by exploiting her fans, it would undoubtedly cause trouble. And if she cried her way out and was caught on camera, it wouldnt be good for Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts reputation. Miss Johnson, this way, please. Lily couldnt stay any longer and immediately followed her out. Now, only the sobbing salesperson remained in the store. Seeing that her pleas to Sophie Easton and Joseph were useless, the salesperson turned to Arthur North and called out like Joseph did, Boss Wayne, Im sorry, Im really sorry. I didnt recognize your importance. Please forgive my mistakes and give me a chance to live. If I get fired from here, no one else will dare hire me. As she said this, she tried to reach for Arthurs arm, but Daisy grabbed her arm first, preventing her from touching him. Boss Wayne, Im only twenty-seven, and I still have a child to raise. I didnt do it on purpose. As an older person, Arthur easily felt sympathy. Seeing her crying like that, he couldnt bear it, so he said, Daisy Why not spare her? Daisy nced at Arthur and then at the salesperson, her expression never loosening. I havent been involved in thepanys affairs. But I passed by the employee training area twice and saw a service concept: Supreme service, equal treatment for all. The salesperson didnt say anything, just lowered her head and sobbed. Arthur looked at Daisy. He always thought that Daisys way of handling things was simr to Kevin rks. You made the mistake first. Your mistake almost caused an irreparable loss to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, Daisy said calmly. Keeping you here, youll only create trouble one after another. Do you want to offend everyone for Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts? The consequences of her mistake would eventuallye back to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts. Just like Jane Chester said, Is this how Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts sells things? I wont do it again, really. The only way for me to believe that you wont do it again is for you not to be here, Daisy said. I dont understand why you cry as if Im the one bullying you when you made the mistake in the first ce. Chapter 387 - 347: Hero Saves the Beauty_3 Chapter 387: Chapter 347: Hero Saves the Beauty_3 Trantor: 549690339 Lucia Joseph gently reminded her, giving Natalie Wayne a face-saving way out. Daisy Zane naturally knew. Otherwise, she wouldnt have found it pointless: Were definitely not letting you stay here. But well allow you to submit your resignation letter voluntarily. As for why youre resigning from here as long as it doesnt damage the reputation of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, any reason is fine. Leaving with dignity, she could also try her luck elsewhere. Thank you, Mr. Easton, thank you, Mr. Easton. No need to thank me, Daisy said. Thank you, Boss Wayne, thank you, Boss Wayne. Josephs assistant took the salesperson away, leaving just the manager, who apologized to Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester before going to help sort things out. Once they were all gone, Joseph apologized to Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester again. Boss Wayne, you havent eaten yet, have you? Would you like to have dinner together? Natalie Wayne hesitated slightly. Kevin rk wasnt present. She didnt know if going out to dinner with her daughter-inw and another man would cause her son to make sarcastic remarks about her. And sheshe wanted to go back and have a chat with her husband Kevin about how they have such a powerful daughter-inw. But just as she hesitated for those two seconds, Kevin rk appeared at the entrance. It was clear that he had rushed over, as he was still breathing unsteadily after standing still. His eyes first fell on Daisy Zane, observing her emotions for a moment before looking at Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester, saying: Mom, senior. Jane Chester smiled and responded. Natalie Wayne: Seeing Kevin in such a hurry, Joseph paused for a moment before saying: Third Master. Kevin didnt even acknowledge him, he just walked up to Daisy Zane, swallowed, and said: Little girl. Daisy Zane smiled but didnt say anything. However, due to her ambiguous smile, Kevin felt a chill in his heart and immediately put a stop to the shopping trip: Mom, senior. Lets go to dinner. Joseph said: Third Master, just now, there was some unpleasantness here. Id like to take Boss Wayne to dinner as an apology. Kevin looked towards Natalie Wayne. Natalie Wayne smiled: Mr. Allen, youre too kind. Now that Lucia is part of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, there is no need for such formalities. Kevin then turned to Daisy Zane. How could it be? How could she have another identity? But Daisy Zane didnt look at him, just politely listened to Natalie Wayne talking. Kevin felt even colder. Then shall I book a ce? Natalie Wayne looked at Daisy Zane, and Daisy Zane smiled: You decide. Well then lets have Mr. Allen treat us. Joseph: Its my pleasure. After booking a ce at the Doomsday Hotel, the group headed out. Taking advantage of the moment when Joseph and Daisy Zane were talking, Natalie Wayne whispered to Kevin: Youre so slow, you cant even keep up with the hot stuff. Kevins pupils trembled, disbelieving: Mom, youre swearing. Natalie Wayne didnt care, continuing: What were you doing! Your wife was being bullied! And it took another man to stand up for her. You just handed over such a great opportunity for ying the hero. Although Kevin didnt know exactly what had happened, he could imagine the general picture. Heughed: Mom, do you think my wife needs a hero to save her? Natalie Wayne: She didnt need one. Apart from Joseph confirming her identity, she handled everything else herself. Moreover, she could let Joseph confirm her identity, which was also her self-earned identity. This daughter-inw is really something. And she has been designing clothes for her since she was a teenager, always living in the isted Cold Green Vige without even a signal Has she really always been in Cold Green Vige? Also Kevinughed: I am her legal husband, and no matter how impressive other men may be in front of her, she is mine. Natalie Wayne looked at him. Why did she feel a sense of him being the ultimate winner here? Show-off. After finishing their meal at the Doomsday Hotel, Kevin asked Juan Wright, who had exhausted himself shopping and ultimately went downstairs to see the car, to send Natalie Wayne and Jane Chester home. He took Daisy Zane back to the Rose Garden. Once inside the car, he smiled: Madam, are you tired? Daisy Zane ignored him. Little little girl? Daisy Zane was texting Holt Lawrence, telling him they would meet again tomorrow. Kevins hand, which was about to start the car, paused and then he re-engaged the handbrake. He unbuckled Daisys seat belt, put his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace, kissing her directly. It was only after their passionate kiss loosened the tension in her hand that he released her, panting and resting his head against her forehead: Im sorry, I didnt know my mom would go there. Daisy Zane, catching her breath, cast her eyes down at his flushed, thin lips. I also didnt know she would take you shopping. So I couldnt stop it at the first moment. And I even caused someone to upset you. Im sorry. Kevins voice was tender and intoxicating. Daisy pursed her lips. My little girl has been wronged. It wont happen again next time Just as Kevin finished speaking, Daisy kissed him on the lips again. Nothing elseshe just found it eye-catching. Kevin stuck to her lips and smiled before taking the initiative and kissing her deeply. There was no tenderness or restraint from the pre-marital Third Master. After getting married the Third Master was tender but unrestrained, not knowing any limits. Madam, should we try Daisy Zane covered his mouth just in time and let him swallow his words. Third Master, be patient. Kevin chuckled softly, and for a moment, he kissed her palm. Dont be mad anymore. He backed away, stroked her head, and coaxed her gently, I promise it wont happen again in the future. Im not mad, Daisy said softly. Kevin didnt dare to speak. She wasnt angry but just ignoring him. Daisy Zane returned to the copilots seat, and Kevin didnt start the car right away. A little whileter, Kevin took Daisys hand and ced his fingertip on her pulse. Whats wrong? Daisy asked. Kevins fingers pressed her pulse for a while before saying: Your period has been dyed by several days. Daisy raised her eyebrows: Didnt I take precautions? Kevin looked up at her, inhaled gently, and said: Dont provoke me, my self-control is very weak right now. Daisy chuckled. Kevin let go of her hand. Daisy asked: Is there a problem? No. Kevin started the car, his mind adjusting the recipe for the medicine packet as heughed: Its getting colder now, so you wont have a chance to eat ice cream. Daisy Zane: Chapter 388 - 348: Meeting William Butch Chapter 388: Chapter 348: Meeting William Butch Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane originally nned to see Holt Lawrence in the morning, but Natalie Wayne suddenly arrived, so she changed it to the afternoon. However, Kevin rk didnt get any restst night, and if she went out, he would definitely follow her. So, she simply went home to rest as well. After they returned home, when Kevin finished taking a shower, Daisy held a tablet in her hand with a half-finished design for a piece of clothing on it. And the person had alreadyid down and fallen asleep. He saved everything on the tablet, turned it off, and ced it on the bedside table. Then he went to bed, hugged her, kissed her, and fell asleep holding her. The two of them slept until past six oclock. This also led to the well-rested Third Master rk bothering her at night. So, the next day when Daisy Zane went to see Holt Lawrence, it was already the afternoon. Since Daisy Zane mainly wanted to see William Butch, she and Holt agreed to meet at the hospital. The two met at the entrance of the Inpatient Department, and as soon as Holt Lawrence saw Daisy Zane, he greeted her warmly and started asking how she had been. Then, Daisy Zane handed him a USB sh drive, shutting him up, Everything you need is in here. Alright. Holt Lawrence touched the USB sh drive, almost wanting to kiss it. He carefully put it away while following Daisy Zane upstairs, and then asked, Nana, whats wrong? You seem a bit out of spirits. What happened? Kevin rk was being unreasonable, not letting her sleep. All these gentlemanly, polite, and civilized manners are fake. Hes a wolf. Its nothing. How is William? Sigh. Holt Lawrence sighed, He has been eating well three meals a day, but he hasnt said a word. He lost almost 20 pounds in just these few days. Im afraid he might disappearpletely with his thin arms and legs. What about his family and school? I asked for leave from his school. Holt Lawrence said, The police have gone to his house saying they need to protect William and not let him go home for now. And the Butch family? They went to Williams grandmas house a few times, but since William isnt there, their visits were pointless. Let them do what they want; they cant cause much trouble. The two reached Williams ward entrance while talking. They looked through the ss door. William was sitting on the bed, hugging his knees while looking out of the window. Wearing a patients gown, his thin body was even more prominent. A person curled up, just looking at his side profile, anyone could feel endless loneliness. Holt Lawrence whispered, Our people are guarding him 24 hours a day, afraid that he might have other reckless thoughts. Daisy Zane looked at his hair covering his ears. The person guarding him said that other than sleeping every day, he just keeps looking outside. Holt Lawrence said. Did he go out? Hmm. Sometimes we take him for a walk. Holt Lawrence said, But he doesnt show any reactions, doesnt speak, doesnt cry, doesntugh, and has a nk stare in his eyes. He just does whatever he is told, as if hes a puppet. What does the psychologist say? They said hes experienced too much psychological trauma and has rejectedmunication. Holt Lawrence exined, Since he refuses tomunicate, the psychologist doesnt know what to do with him. Nana, to be honest, Im afraid if he continues like this, he might go crazy. Then all my efforts in these days would be wasted. Celestial Pivot would suffer a great loss. Daisy Zane nced at him. Holt Lawrence immediately stopped talking: I, I have something to do. You go in and have a look. After Holt Lawrence left, Daisy Zane stood at the door for a while before knocking and entering the room. The person guarding Williams room saw her, bowed slightly, and left the room. William, however, didnt turn around or make a sound when he heard the noise. Daisy Zane walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair with her foot, and asked, What are you looking at? Upon hearing this voice, William Butchs eyshes trembled, and he turned to look. In the moment he saw Daisy Zane, his stagnant eyes showed a brief hint of surprise, but it quickly faded away into destion. Daisy Zane caught his surprise and raised her eyebrows slightly: Curious why Im here? William looked at her without speaking. The ones guarding you are all my people. Williams eyshes trembled again. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth: Get off the bed, put on your shoes, and Ill take you somewhere. William looked at her for a while, then like a robot following instructions, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and followed Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane took him to the rooftop of the Inpatient Department. There was a strong wind on the rooftop, and William only wore a patients gown, his thin body seemingly capable of being taken away by the wind with a single gust. Daisy Zane led him straight to the edge of the rooftop. From the height of the thirtieth floor, the people on the ground looked as if they had all been reduced by ten times. Even though they existed in the same space, everything on the ground seemed to have be part of another dimension. Looking at this height, William felt dizzy. Are you scared? William looked down without speaking. Daisy Zane looked down for a moment, then gently pushed on his shoulder. As his body leaned forward, Williams hands instinctively pressed onto the edge of the rooftop, then propped himself up and shrank back. He reflexively became scared of falling. When he finally stood firm and took a breather, he realized that Daisy Zane had been holding onto his arm the entire time. He didnt know when she had grabbed him. He looked at Daisy Zane with a slightly startled and puzzled expression. Daisy Zane was expressionless, like a cold-blooded animal: If Id used a little more force just now, youd already be a corpse. Williams face gradually turned pale. At this height of thirty floors, do you know how loud the sound would be when you hit the ground? Do you know which part of you would hit the ground first? Do you know what you would look like after the fall? How much blood would you lose? Daisy Zane said indifferently. William imagined it as she spoke. For every sentence she said, he would follow along in his imagination. Are you scared? Daisy Zane asked again. This time, William didnt remain silent, but faintly and dazedly said: Not scared. Daisy Zane chuckled softly, the wind blowing her fragmented hair in disarray: If youre not afraid of death, then why are you afraid of living? Why are you afraid of those who hit you? Living is more terrifying. Living isnt terrifying; dying is terrifying. Daisy Zane said softly, Death only has one oue, but life can have countless oues. William stared at her nkly. Do you think that if you die, those who bully you would feel guilty? Regret? Or change their ways? William didnt speak again. None of that would happen. Daisy Zane spoke indifferently, They might be afraid for a while, but theyd continue to harm others. No one will help you reim what youve been bullied for, nobody will help you rify the nder you faced. Youll gradually disappear from everyones memory, and you wont affect anyones life. They, they theyve been punished. William said. Is it because of your death that they were punished? Daisy Zanezily replied, Its because you cooperated with the police. Williams eyshes trembled all the while, and his eyebrows gradually furrowed. Do you understand? Daisy Zane asked. William continued to look bewildered. Daisy Zane didnt rush him either. She simply said: Think about it. Why should you let your life pay for the mistakes of others do they deserve that? Chapter 389 - 349: Bottom Line Chapter 389: Chapter 349: Bottom Line Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane and William Butch were on the rooftop for a long time, none of them engaged in conversation, they were just standing there looking down. It wasnt until William sneezed twice from the cold that Daisy took him back to the ward. On their return, Holt Lawrence was waiting for them at the entrance to the ward. He wore his shirt as if it were a cloth ripped from somewhere, his demeanor was scattered and rather weary. He had, however, shaved his beard and had his hair trimmed. He looked more spirited and refreshedpared to thest time Daisy saw him. Thest time Daisy encountered him at the Celestial Pivot, she thought he was drained by some Fairy n creature. William cast him a nce and then lowered his head without speaking. Daisy led him back to the ward. Holt Lawrence looked at him and said, Child, theres aputer that I brought for you on the bedside table, feel free to use it. William stopped in his tracks, his lips moved slightly without speaking, then he entered the ward. Once the room door closed, both Daisy Zane and Holt Lawrence shifted a bit to the side. Holt Lawrence asked, How is he? Has he recovered? Daisy nced at him. Holt Lawrence said, Oh. Its a psychological issue with him, it has to be taken slow. Let him reflect on it himself for the time being, continue to have him watched closely to prevent him from doing anything rash. Hmm. Are you going back? Do you want to visit the Celestial Pivot? Another day. Daisy said, Let the doctor prescribe him some cold prevention medicine, his physical constitution is too weak. How about you train him? Holt suggested. Daisy looked at him. James Collins wasnt much older than him back in the day. Holt continued, Back then, he was bullied to the point of not even being able to eat properly, now isnt he freely roaming across the various continents. Daisy nced at the ward, Hes not the same as James. True. James always wanted to live at any cost, that kid was very tenacious. Holt also looked towards the ward, This child he would consider suicide. First, let him ponder about it. Alright. Holt left with her. While they were waiting for the elevator, Daisy received a call from Anisa Cooper. As soon as the call was answered, Anisa blurted out, Lucia! Have you seen the news online yet! What happened? A man, who ims to be from Cold Green Vige. He said, said that you Anisa was at a loss for words for a while, she wasnt able to phrase it in a way that sounded nice, so she blurted out directly, He said that you were with him when you were in Cold Green Vige, and that you carried his child. Daisy raised her eyes to the elevator, her indifferent eyes immediately hardened. Holt noticed her difort and turned his head to look at her. Lucia, he also said, he also said. You had, had an affair with many people from the Cold Green Vige. Anisa said quietly, His words were specially offensive Sister Emily is handling the public rtions, her phone is exploding. She asked me to inform you. As she spoke, her voice choked up, it was apparent how offensive that man mustve been that it drove Anisa to tears. Anisa sniffed and continued, Lucia, the news is spreading rampantly online. Third Master mightve seen it. We all know its not true. But what about Third Masters family? Daisy squeezed her icy fingertips, another call came in. Without looking, she said, Its alright, Ill handle it. Lucia, where are you? Ille and keep youpany. No need. After hanging up the call, Daisy wanted to check the news on her phone but Harton rks call came in. Her finger hesitated on the end call button, it then moved and put her phone away, Let me use your phone. Holt handed her his phone. Daisy opened Facebook, and without even having to search, she saw the trending topic about her. She clicked on it, and then directly yed the video. In the video, a man who seemed to be in histe fifties, with dark and slightly rough skin, was dressed in the unique costume of Cold Green Vige. His ent was heavy, but what he was saying was still understandable. He roughly talked about Daisy having rtionships with many people in the vige while they were dating. iming that she had conceived his child, but aborted it. He even gave specific details concerning where Daisy had rtions with him and others. It all took ce at Daisys home. The details of the house that Daisy lived in, the kitchen she cooked in, and the furnishings inside were all described by him. His words were disgusting to listen to. He also mentioned the reasoning behind his visit to the Imperial Capital and recording this video. It was to confront her, as to why she was involved with others while dating him. Chapter 390: 349: Bottom Line_2 Chapter 390: 349: Bottom Line_2
Trantor:549690339 Whether the child is truly his or not. Daisy, you cant just forget about me after making a fortune. I was the one who took care of you when you were living in the vige, the man said, his voice choking up. What am I to you now that youre married to someone else? I gave you all the money I had saved for my own marriage to help youe to the big city, and yet you turn your back on me just like that. We cannot be so ungrateful, Daisy. Its okay if you deceive my feelings, but doing this is a betrayal to your current husband and your fans
Daisy Zane couldnt control her strength, and she crushed the tempered ss on her cell phone. Holt Lawrence looked at the shattered phone and reacted, Holy shit! Who the hell did this? They must be looking to die! Its clear someone is pulling the strings from behind. I want to see whos got the balls to go this far! His skin flushed with anger just as the elevator opened and he walked in, Ill kill them, goddammit! What are you going to do? Daisy Zane asked, closing her phone. Go back to Celestial Pivot and find the mastermind. We have aputer here. Daisy Zanes cold voice made her point, as she threw her phone at him and turned towards the ward. Holt caught the phone and followed her, stunned: Im about to pass out from anger. This time, Daisy entered the ward without knocking. Upon hearing the sound, William Butch looked at the entrance. Upon seeing Daisys expression, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes trembled violently. He was afraid of Daisy in this state.
Ignoring him, Daisy sat down on a chair and turned on theputer beside the bed. Holt Lawrence, who was initially furious and lightheaded, decided tofort William Butch first: Its alright, just keep ying. Whileforting him, Daisy had already started to type rapidly on the keyboard. Holt stood behind her, eyes affixed to the screen without blinking, afraid to miss anything important. Curiosity got the better of William Butch, and he too turned his head to see what was happening. He became even more shocked. As a person that Holt Lawrence held in such high regard, he couldnt possibly fail to understand what she was doing. Moreover, this expertise it seemed to exceed his own. Daisy quickly found the source of the video and pulled out the hacker who had helped to cover it up. The hacker had used Celestial Pivots equipment tomit this crime. Daisy paused for a moment, turning her head to look at Holt Lawrence.
Her gaze seemed as if she wanted to stab him, and he quickly took a step back. Holt Lawrence Daisy whispered. William Butch, who had been slightly stunned, suddenly widened his eyes and locked them onto Holt Lawrence. This man had visited him twice already but he never knew his name or who he was. Nana this has nothing to do with me. I dont know who would dare do such a thing under my watch. Holt said. Daisy resumed her investigation, and after a few seconds said, Bonnie Maxwell. Its her? Daisy investigated Bonnie Maxwell further and found Johnson Sophie along the way. She took a deep breath and tapped her fingers on theputer. They didnt use any keywords rted to me when they released the message. Daisy said. No wonder Celestial Pivot couldnt intercept the message. Holt said, What do we do now, Nana?
Daisy didnt respond. What was most important now was to clear Daisys name. But how could they prove it? They didnt have any evidence, but the others dare to talk nonsense. For a girl, especially an outstanding one like Daisy, it didnt matter whether there was evidence or not. As long as they had a mouth to talk nonsense, their purpose would be achieved. So, not only would her innocence be tarnished, but her achievements and career would be things that others would say she had obtained through men and dirty methods. So, what kind of strong evidence would be needed to shut everyone up? Furthermore, she couldnt provide any evidence right now. What about the messages online? Should we control them? Holt Lawrence asked again. Daisy stared at theputer. In fact, it was best not to interfere with the messages online. There must be thorough rification for this matter, and they couldnt let people think they had used some influence to forcefully suppress the news and rify the situation. However, she couldnt stand the sight of the video online. Just as she was contemting her options, Holt Lawrence suddenly received a message. A message about Charles Amos. He nced at the message on his phone, and his chest tightened abruptly, Nana, someones using Charles to frame you. Chapter 391: 349: Bottom Line_3 Chapter 391: 349: Bottom Line_3
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zane looked at him. Holt Lawrence directly tore off the broken tempered film and put the cell phone on the bedside table.
The photo taken of you and Charles Amos was cut from surveince. Theres also a separate photo of Charles Amos, Holt Lawrence said, The headline reads, Famous Actress Gives Birth to a Child Underage. Daisy Zane felt her blood getting colder bit by bit. Because there are too many people paying attention to the recent incident, Facebook crashed, Holt Lawrence exined, Precisely because of this, in the absence of any keywords rted to you, Celestial Pivot found the photo of Charles Amos and promptly intercepted the message. Daisy Zane looked at the message on the cell phone. The people from Celestial Pivot reported it very thoroughly to Holt Lawrence. Even the code name and real name of the hacker who did this were reported. Its Bonnie Maxwell again, Daisy Zane said calmly. Holt Lawrence didnt say anything. One after another, two messages crossed her bottom line. Ill go clean up the mess, Holt Lawrence said. No need, Ill handle it myself. Daisy Zane closed theputer, her voice cold and terrifying. Holt Lawrences lips moved twice, but in the end, he didnt say anything.
You go back to Celestial Pivot first. Holt Lawrence saw that she had a n and didnt say anything, instinctively obeying the arrangement: Okay. After agreeing, he hurriedly left. Only Daisy Zane and William Butch were left in the room. William Butch stared at Daisy Zane, still somewhat fearful. But Daisy Zane looked down at theputer for a long time before temporarily suppressing the violent factor within her. She looked at William Butch and, seeing that he was staring at her, asked, Do you have any questions? Who are you, really? William Butch asked cautiously. Who was she, really? That question was a bit difficult for her to answer. Who was she? She was yson Ninevara, Shopie Easton, Nathan Ninevara, Nicholson Amos She had many names, but who was she really? She couldnt quite answer.
Seeing that she didnt answer, William Butch changed to another question: Why did you save me? Why did you participate in the Celestial Pivot assessment? Daisy Zane countered. Her voice was several times colder than usual, and her expression was different from before. In the past, it was just cold, but now it seemed somewhat mad and terrifying. But her words also made people feel like she was unaffected by everything. William Butch was silent for a while. Taking advantage of his silence, Daisy Zane sent Kevin rk a message telling him that she was okay. I I want to challenge Nathan Ninevara. Daisy Zane looked at the cell phone, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, So? After solving her problem, you feel sessful and unentangled? Ready to die peacefully? Each sentence struck William Butchs core, and he fell silent. Im not in a good mood today, Daisy Zane looked up at him, her stunning face seemingly covered with ayer of ice, Another day, well have a match. William Butch stared at her nkly and finally said, Just now that man was LUO?
Yes. He called you Nana, you William Butch swallowed the rest of the sentence, as if it were a secret he had to protect, and didnt say it out loud. Do you want topare? Daisy Zane looked at him and asked. William Butch looked at her, clenched his fingers, and nodded heavily: Yes. Its not a waste toe. Daisy Zane stood up and answered his question, Holt Lawrence indeed likes you a lot, but saving you has nothing to do with Celestial Pivot. William Butch looked up at her, his foreheads soft hair sliding to both sides, looking a little silly and well-behaved. There was someone important to me I couldnt save her, Daisy Zane said softly, So I want you to live. Chapter 392 - 350 Bonnie Maxwell Chapter 392: Chapter 350 Bonnie Maxwell Trantor: 549690339 Today, Daisy Zane was brought to the hospital by her driver. When she came out of the inpatient department, Daisy Zane went directly to the parking lot. But instead of seeing her drivers car in its original parking spot, she saw Kevin rk, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright. Upon seeing her, Kevin rk came over, embraced her, and touched her head, saying, Dont be angry, Ill find a solution. Feeling his body warmth, Daisy Zane felt her body recovering its heat. She closed her eyes and said softly, They shouldnt have targeted me. Kevin rk understood her implicit meaning: Leave everything to me. It might be troublesome. Daisy Zane said, Bonnie Maxwell is involved. Daisy Zane had no associations with the Imperial Capital, she could do whatever she wanted without consideration. But now it was different, she was the wife of Kevin rk, some things could cause trouble for Kevin rk and the rk Family. It could even have some effect. Bonnie Maxwell? Asked Kevin rk, promptly realising, A hacker? As soon as the problem arose, Juan Wright took action. He found out that the video was sent out by Amelia Miles and that a hacker had helped her hide it. But he didnt find out who the hacker was. In terms of skill, Bonnie Maxwell was not as good as Juan Wright. But Bonnie Maxwell had the advantage of the Celestial Pivot. So, Juan Wright did not find out who it was. Upon hearing this, Juan Wrights admiration for Daisy Zane grew even more. In such a short time, when he couldnt find any trace, Daisy Zane had pinpointed who it was. Yes. Dont be afraid, Kevin rk kissed her earlobe, I am here. Daisy Zane leaned against him for a while, then withdrew from his arms, and said to Michael Jackson, Santiago Tea House. Santiago Tea House Daisy Zane located Bonnie Maxwells cell phone. The location disyed showed that she hadnt moved from here. Following the precise positioning, Daisy Zane, Kevin rk, Michael Jackson, and Juan Wright, went directly to the tea room where she was. When they reached the door, Michael Jackson and Juan Wright pushed the door open. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane went in. Once inside, they found many people around. All around the door were people standing on guard, rigidly dressed in uniform. However, all of the guards moved alertly but stopped immediately. They were all from the rk Family., they obviously recognized Kevin rk. Both sides quieted down, the one nearest to the door said, Third Master. Who is here? Kevin rk asked. Old Master and Madame are Daisy Zane: Kevin rks expression paused for a while, looking at the person next to him. The voice of Elina rk rang in the moment of their silence: Who hase? The moment her words fell, Elina rk appeared at the entrance with Charles Amos. Daisy Zane looked at Elina rk. Her hair was all white, and she was dressed in traditional attire. In her eighties, she was still in good health. Although her face had wrinkles, she radiated vitality and vigor. She looked a lot like Theo rk. Looking at Daisy Zane, Elina rk felt a lot of thoughts running through her head. This was her third sons wife. She looked a lot prettier than on TV, much more so. She seemed a lot colder than she appeared on TV. The woman that my third son married seems to have a bad temper. This is the famous scriptwriter from Flynn Ninevara. This is also the designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, Shopie Easton. A lot of Mimis clothes were designed by her. This is the same Miss that Theo rk has lost to. Charles Amos, holding Elina rks hand, was dazzled the moment he saw Daisy Zane. His eyes sparkled. Dad. Kevin rk called out to him. Charles immediately let go of Elina rks hand, ran to Daisy Zane, looked up at her, his eyes shining bright. Daisy came. Elina rk reacted, straightened his back, trying to look younger. His voice also had a more kindly tone than usual, Come on in. Daisy Zane pursed her lips and called out, Uncle. Eh. Elina rk smiled and replied, Come in,e in. Daisy Zane lightly patted Charless head and led him inside by pulling his clothing by the shoulder. Kevin rk held her hand, giving her a reassuring squeeze. The tea room was spacious. Upon entering, it was discovered that it was not just Mr. & Mrs. rk. The entire family of Theo rk was also present. Bonnie Maxwell was there too, along with two tea masters. Tom Wayne looked surprised when he saw her. He immediately walked towards her. Daisy. Hardy rk was eactly the same, equally surprised and followed Tom Wayne. Auntie! Chapter 393 - 350 Bonnie Maxwell_2 Chapter 393: Chapter 350 Bonnie Maxwell_2 Trantor: 549690339 As Theo rk approached, Kevin rk asked, Mom, what are you doing here? Natalie Waynes eyes were fixed on Daisy Zane, the corners of her eyes crinkling withughter: Daisy. Theres a tea ceremony next week. We came early today to try out some new teas that just arrived. Thats why there were so few people in the tea house, as they were almost not open to the public in preparation for next weeks tea ceremony. We originally nned to bring Lucia to the tea ceremony next week. Natalie Wayne said, Are you guys nearby? Just passing by. Daisy Zane replied in a low voice. Bonnie Maxwell gritted her teeth and took a deep breath when she noticed the rk family surrounding Daisy Zane. The two tea masters alsoforted her and exchanged nces with each other. Lucia, let me introduce you. Natalie Wayne stood by her side and introduced her, This is your big brother. Youve met before. Daisy Zane: Theyve met who leaked the news? Did the rk family know that she hit Theo rk? Big brother. She greeted softly, not revealing any awkwardness from her heart. Theo rk responded. This is your sister-inw. Daisy Zane: Sister-inw. Calvin Stewart looked at her, not as a sister-inw, but more like a daughter-inw. After all, Kevin rk was also raised by her. She smiled and replied. What about me? Hardy rk said, Grandma, why dont you introduce me? Natalie Wayne nced at her and said, Dont force me to dig up the past. Hardy rk immediately behaved herself, pouting and standing next to Hugo rk, but she couldnt help butugh again within two seconds. Hugo rk stood by his parents side and greeted with pursed lips: Auntie. Daisy Zane: Hardy rk bit her lip and tried to hold back augh but failed. Then she received a re from her brother. After exchanging greetings, they chatted for a while. Just as Natalie Wayne was thinking of an excuse to leave, Bonnie Maxwell came over and said with a smile, Lady Zane, long time no see. Hugo rk immediately looked at Kevin rk. He had seen the news online, which was told to him by Hardy rk. He didnt know who was behind it, but their appearance in this ce The tea house belonged to the Maxwell family, and Bonnie Maxwell being here He could guess most of it. Everyone from the rk family was stunned. Each of them felt a sudden tightness in their hearts. Daisy Zane looked up at her, her calm eyes seemed to stir for a moment but quickly settled down. She looked away, ignoring her. For a moment, the smile on Bonnie Maxwells face froze, but she quickly recovered her appropriate demeanor. Ignoring her would be a sign of Daisy Zanes rudeness andck of upbringing. When are you going back? Kevin rk asked his mother. Everyone in the rk family was keen, how could they not see or hear the meaning behind Kevin rks words. What kind of passing by, they must havee for a reason. And this matter couldnt be dealt with in front of them. Were leaving now Before Elina rk could finish speaking, Bonnie Maxwell interrupted her: Third Master, Aunt Wayne, they just arrived. There are still a few teas they havent tasted yet. Elina rk looked up at her. The corners of Ezra Lins Eyes were dark and gloomy for an instant. They were invited by Bonnie Maxwell. Theo rk and his family of four hade out of respect for Bonnie Maxwells father. Now that Daisy Zane was here, it was not convenient for them to linger. Yet Bonnie Maxwell interrupted her husbands words. Ezra Lins face was filled with coldness, just about to speak. But Daisy Zane spoke first: Why dont we taste it together? Elina rk and Natalie Wayne both looked at her. So did Charles Amos. Daisy Zane pressed Charles Amoss head back down and looked at Elina rk and Natalie Wayne: Uncle, Aunt, is it okay? Of course, its fine. Natalie Wayne said with a smile. Elina rk also nodded. A momentary sinister smile shed in Bonnie Maxwells eyes. The group of people sat down at the tea table. Since there were too many people, they split up and sat at two tea tables. The men at one table, the women at the other. However, Kevin rk followed Daisy Zane. Kevin rk pulled the chair open for Daisy Zane to sit down. As soon as Daisy Zane sat down, Charles Amos started rubbing and squeezing by her chair. Daisy Zane looked down: What are you doing? I want to sit with you. Charles Amos said. Everyone looked at them. I think its crowded. Daisy Zane replied softly. Then I can sit on yourp. Daisy Zane looked at him, then said after a pause, Have a sense of your own weight. Natalie Wayne and Calvin Stewart bothughed. Chapter 394 - 350 Bonnie Maxwell_3 Chapter 394: Chapter 350 Bonnie Maxwell_3 Trantor: 549690339 Charles Amos looked resentful and fell silent. Daisy Zane moved a chair closer to herself, Sit here, or just stand. Charles moved the chair a bit closer to her and stopped when it was right next to her chair. He sat down and began peeling the nuts on the table. The tea master prepared tea, and everyone casually chatted. After a while, Bonnie Maxwell stepped out to take a phone call. She returned in 5 minutes. As she sat down, she apologized, Im sorry, theres something going on in Celestial Pivot. Daisy Zane was watching Charles open pistachios and raised an eyebrow when she heard Bonnies words. The phone call from Celestial Pivot Who would dare to call Bonnie now? As Daisys words were spoken with clear intentions, Natalie Wayne and others just smiled and did not say anything. It was the tea master who spoke, ra Mitchell is so amazing, she got into Celestial Pivot so easily. Not really, Bonnie replied with a smile, Its just that the questions were simple this year. How could it be simple when Nathan Ninevara set the questions? Kevin rk noticed that Charles was cing the peeled pistachios in a small te without eating them. Realizing that he was peeling them for the little girl, Kevin snatched the pistachios away and started peeling them himself. Little Charles raised his eyebrows and red at Kevin. Kevin red back, his cold eyes saying: My wife doesnt need your help. Charless arrogance faded, and he quietly began peeling an orange. Meanwhile, the tea master continued praising Bonnie, I heard that the number of people who took the exam this year is several times that of previous years, but only ten people were selected. Hardy rk spat out a sunflower seed shell, You seem to know a lot. People were discussing this matter when they came to drink tea during that time, so I found out, The tea master brought the topic back to Bonnie, I never expected that ra Mitchell would make it into Celestial Pivot. It was just luck. Theres no such thing as luck. Its your own ability. People always have to rely on ability, no matter where they are. Natalie Waynes eyebrows twitched, the words making her feel ufortable. The tea master continued, Given ra Mitchells ability, will she be promoted to senior member in a few months and join the high-level ranks of Celestial Pivot? Absolutely not, Charles suddenly said. Everyone looked at Charles, and Bonnies face showed some resentment. This bratty kid. He rose to his current status by the grace of the rk Family. Otherwise, a wild child born out of wedlock wouldnt even dare to make a fuss. I dont think so either, Lily Parker said with a smile. Sister, you have a good eye, Charles smiled back at her and looked at Harton rk, Uncle rk, what do you think? Daisy Zane looked at Charless bright eyes. Fortunately, Celestial Pivot had managed to block the news. Otherwise, what would Charles do? Peeling pistachios, Harton rk answered without looking up, Its none of my business, and its not worth me having an opinion. Lily Parkerughed again. Charles: He was seemingly ignored. As it turned out, his opinion wasnt even worth considering in Hartons eyes. Daisy Zane also curled her lips. At this point, the members of the rk Family understood that the couple was targeting Bonnie. Bonnies hands tightened on herp, her face pale. She didnt expect Harton to not even give her the slightest bit of face. It took her a few seconds to suppress her surging emotions before turning to Daisy Zane and saying, Lady Zane, I just saw some news online when I went out to answer the phone. Would you like me to help you handle it? Daisy Zane looked up at her. Walking into the muzzle of a gun. Charles had bitten half an orange and looked at Bonnie as well. Harton rk blinked, afraid that Bonnie had invited his parents here today to let them know about the online news. Apart from the three young members of the rk Family, the rest had no idea what was happening online. Bonnie, what are you trying to do? Lily Parkers expression turned cold. Calvin Stewart, who rarely saw his daughter like this, asked, Whats wrong? Bonnie ignored Lily Parker and said impatiently, Its not a big deal. Someone just posted a video online. Natalie Wayne looked at her. Bonnie paused, seemingly unable to speak. She found the video and yed it once on the tea table. The video wasnt long and finished ying very quickly. People from the other table also came over. Harton rk wanted to stop them, but Daisy Zane held him back. The duration of the video allowed her to think about which ce would be suitable for Bonnie to spend the second half of her life. Bonnie nced at the awkward faces of the rk Family members, feeling very pleased. She looked at Daisy Zane and said, Lady Zane, whether its true or false, we need to cool things down first. I heard about it toote, or else it wouldnt have escted like this online. Charles took another bite of the orange. Daisy Zane looked at Bonnie. It seemed like Bonnie really wanted to find a solution, she spoke sincerely, I happen to have brought myputer, so I can find the mans location. We can persuade him to change his tune, and that way, we can also salvage Lady Zanes reputation. If we give him some more money, hell forget about Lady Zane. Chapter 395 - 351: Nine Gods Chapter 395: Chapter 351: Nine Gods Trantor: 549690339 Everyone in the tea room was watching Bonnie Maxwell, listening to her speak. Standing nearby, Juan Wright and Michael Jackson listened to her words. Juan clenched his teeth and muttered, What a great actress she is, she sounds so sincere Why isnt she in the entertainment industry? Bonnie Maxwell As soon as Hardy rk uttered these three words, Natalie Wayne smashed the teacup in her own hand. The teacup shattered apanied by a sharp sound, causing the entire tea room to be silent. Hardy and Calvin Stewart shivered in fright. Charles Amos was also startled. Arthur North raised his eyebrows and then gently patted Daisy Zanes head. Charles looked at them and also wanted to be patted on the head, but no one looked at him, so he patted his own head. In the room aside from Elina rk, it seemed that nobody had ever seen Natalie Wayne lose her temper like this. Bonnie was also startled at first but recovered quickly. The corner of her mouth twitched as she looked like she was ready to watch a good show, waiting to see how Natalie would scold Daisy. Natalie looked at the two tea masters and said, Leave. The two tea masters hesitated but nced at Bonnie and left the room. When they left, Natalie spoke slowly, Daisy is now my daughter-inw in the rk Family and a member of our home. I wont allow anyone to tarnish her innocence or damage her reputation. Anyone who opposes her is on the opposite side of the rk Family. She looked at Bonnie and continued, Whats going on with the man in the video? The rk Family will investigate, and we wont let him off easy. But I believe in Lucia. So no one should say anything that might give rise to misunderstandings. As an onlooker, you have no right to favor either side. Daisy looked at Natalie Wayne. Bonnies heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly turned a few shades paler. Although Natalie didnt mention any names explicitly, it was clear that her words were directed at Bonnie. She did not expect the rk Family to protect Daisy so fiercely. For a moment, the tea room fell silent, with no one speaking. Bonnie could hear her own heart beating thumpingly loud. After about ten seconds, Charles munched on a potato chip, breaking the silence with a barely audible crunch. Elina and Natalie both looked at him, and then both gave him a gentle smile. Charles showed them his newly-grown baby teeth and smiled back obediently. Bonnies mind raced, and she quickly regained herposure. She took a breath without showing any emotion and forced a smile, Aunt Wayne is right. That man is indeed despicable. I was overly eager to deal with the situation and misspoke. No one spoke. Bonnie paused and continued, This matter has gotten too big now, and Im worried it will affect the rk Family. I just wanted to figure out how to handle it and suppress the news. I didnt consider things thoroughly. Arthur North ced a te of peeled pistachios beside Daisy and wiped his hands with a wet wipe, We still need to thank Miss Maxwell for that. Aunt Wayne treats me like a daughter, and its what I should do, Bonnie said with a smile. Daisy looked at her and asked, So Miss Maxwell wanted to help me, is that right? Of course. Bonnie looked at her, but her smile seemed twisted at the bottom of her eyes. Your reputation is rted to the rk Family, so naturally, I cant just stand by and do nothing. Is that so? Daisys mouth curved upward, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. Miss Maxwell has joined Celestial Pivot, and her hacking skills must be excellent. I wonder if she has ever attacked Celestial Pivots defense system? All of the rk Family members turned to look at Daisy. Only Charles continued eating. Excitement faintly appeared on Juans face. Why are you asking this? Bonnie didnt know why Daisy suddenly brought this up. I saw Miss Maxwell join Celestial Pivot and seemed very proud. I thought Miss Maxwell had broken through Celestial Pivots defense system, Daisy said softly. Holt Lawrence, one of the founders, has never been so smug. Arthurs eyshes blinked gently. The little girl had met Holt Lawrence He hadnt even met him. Bonnie raised her chin and said, Although I havent broken through Celestial Pivots defense system, I can crack 59% of it. People will always keep progressing, and there will eventually be a time when they seed. 59% Daisy patted Charless head lightly. Where did you break throughst time? 67%, Charles said, putting a pistachio Arthur had peeled into his mouth. Arthur North: Juan Wright: !!!!! (When did this happen!? He only taught Charles the basics, not such profound skills.) Chapter 396: 351 Nine Gods_2 Chapter 396: 351 Nine Gods_2
Trantor:549690339 Could it be every time he was teaching, Charles was just pretending not to understand???? The rk family was surprised.
Bonnie Maxwell sneered, Lady Zane, hes just a child. Mind what you say. ording to Celestial Pivots internal stats, the toughest can break through to 99%, Daisy Zane said lightly. But that remaining one percent will be the insurmountable gap for everyone. The ny-nine percent is something to strive for, Charles said. The remaining one percent is something to strive for. Everyone looked at Charles, knowing he was smart. But they underestimated his power. Hidden and unassuming, for such a young age. So theres nothing to show off about, nothing to be proud of, Daisy Zane said. Veins popped on Bonnie Maxwells neck as she struggled to maintain herposure. With tightly clenched teeth, she said, Lady Zane, the way you are talking makes it sound like you know a lot. She squinted at Daisy Zane, waiting for her response, curious to see how she would furtherment. Just a bit of knowledge. Kevin rk smirked.
Hugo rk: Juan Wright: !!!!!! Just a bit of knowledge indeed. Miss Maxwell, you have aputer. Daisy Zane looked at her with a mask hiding her anger, Lend it for a moment. Bonnie looked at her and after a few seconds, she finally showed some reaction. Sheughed and elevated Daisy Zane, Sure. Lets see how Lady Zane cracks the Celestial Pivots defense system. Id like to learn as well. Daisy Zane looked at her, indicating for her to fetch theputer. Bonnie Maxwell got up and fetched theputer for Daisy Zane. As Daisy Zane opened theputer, Juan Wright seemed to teleport to her side. Mr. & Mrs. rk and everyone else except Hugo rk stared at her dumbfounded. The third brothers wife incredible. Charles also snacked on chips and moved closer to her. Daisy Zane nced at Charles and said softly, Charles, youve gained ten pounds.
Charless face twitched: Im growing taller. If youre growing horizontally, Ill disown you. Daisy Zane said as she typed on the keyboard. Charles mutteringly reached out closer to her: Just give up that thought. Uncle rk is working on my adoption certificate. Soon Ill be listed under the same household register as you. Daisy Zane stopped typing to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rk smiled at her: We were intending toplete it and then notifying you. Lowering her gaze, Daisy Zane did not reply and started focusing on theptop once again. However, Bonnie Maxwells pupils twitched. So, hes not her biological son; she adopted him. Daisy continued without a word, as she typed focused on the keyboard. Like a flurry, the faint sounds of typing filled the room. A minuteter, Daisy Zane pressed the Enter key. Hugo rk, and Hardy rk all ended up huddled behind her, watching as the progress bar on the screen quickly filled.
Bonnie Maxwell too was watching, as the progress bar passed 59%, 67%, and nudged quickly to 99%. When Juan Wright saw it hit 99%, his nerves were on edge, nearly frozen, his heart pounding in his throat. All eyes were set on the screen, the progress bar was now at 100%. Simultaneously, Bonnie Maxwells phone rang. The Celestial Pivots rm went off The moment the defense system is breached, not only would the Celestial Pivot skyscraper echo with an rm sound, all the members of the Celestial Pivot, and anyone with imnted security systems on their phones would receive an rm. However, Daisy Zanes phone stayed silent, because she had just disabled the rm on her phone while talking with Charles. Everyone dazedly looked at Daisy Zane. Even Kevin rk was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. A smile slowly formed on his face as he looked at Daisy Zane. Only Charles remained the calmest. Was was it breached? Nathan North asked. Hugo rk blinked his eyes back to reality: Yes. Nathan breathed in sharply. That that thats Celestial Pivot. The independent entity of Celestial Pivot, standing boldly out in Dark Street. He wondered if Celestial Pivot would retaliate soon, and whether he should redirect some people here. While everyone was still reeling from shock, Daisy Zanes phone rang. She didnt even have to look to know it would be Holt Lawrence. Daisy Zane answered the call and put it on speaker. Holt Lawrences voice came through loud and clear, with a backdrop of the sounds of him typing furiously,yered with the sound of the persistent rms. Chapter 397: 351: Nine Gods_3 Chapter 397: 351: Nine Gods_3
Trantor:549690339 Nana! Celestial Pivot, Celestial Pivots defense system has been breached! Did you hear the rm?! Damn it! Fuck! Whats going on today?! Everythings happening at once! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up What do we do? The hacker world is going to change! Ahhhh What do we do? Holt Lawrence was busy protecting Celestial Pivot from being invaded while yelling.
Many people could attack the Celestial Pivot defense system, even if they couldnt break through. However, Celestial Pivot still had a set of targeted defense mechanisms. Who do you think can break it? Daisy Zane asked calmly. I dont know! How should I know which corner suddenly sprung up an ancestor? I Holt Lawrence suddenly stopped speaking, and the sound of typing on the keyboard disappeared. You did it? Yes. The smile in Kevin rks eyes gradually faded. Juan Wright held his breath, and his face turned red little by little. Hugo rks face changed dramatically. Bonnie Maxwell froze in ce, unable to move. What the hell are you doing?! Damn it! My f My hearts about to crack! Holt Lawrence suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Ancestor, why would you attack your own defense system for no reason? Everyone in the building is going to be scared to death. Can you give a heads up before you start next time? I did it on purpose. You! Holt Lawrence yelled angrily, then his tone softened again. Nana, has it been restored?
Yes. Daisy Zane was the creator of the system; she knew best how to manipte it. For security reasons, she did not traditionally break through. She just made the rms in the building go off. After hearing her answer, Holt Lawrences tone hardened again: Hmph! Youve lost me now! He hung up the phone. The whole world returned to calm, Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk and saw the curiosity in his eyes. She said softly, I said finding Nathan Ninevara is easy. Kevin rk looked at her for a few seconds before finallyughing and said through gritted teeth, Little girl Isnt it a bit too much to just watch me look for Nathan Ninevara? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, I cant help it. Third Master wants to chop off my hands. Im afraid too. She said she was afraid, but her tone was not scared at all. Kevin rk sighed softly and said, Do you think I dare? You think I would? Elina rk, who hade to her senses, rolled her eyes silently when she heard her sons words. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth but didnt speak, turning her attention to Bonnie Maxwell.
As Bonnie Maxwells gaze met Daisys, her pupils trembled violently. After a beat, she asked in a wavering voice, You, you are Nathan Ninevara? Daisy Zane looked at her without answering, Miss Maxwell Lets settle ounts. Bonnie Maxwell looked bewildered, but on hearing Daisys words, she frowned, What ounts? What are you talking about? The video thing, Daisy Zane said. Miss Maxwell, do you think I wouldnt be able to find out since you used the Celestial Pivot system to help cover it up? The people from the rk Family all looked at Bonnie Maxwell, disbelief in their eyes. Tom Wayne furrowed his brow slightly, unable to believe that she had gone mad to this extent. Bonnie Maxwell took two steps back, What are you talking about? Dont pretend. I have solid evidence, Daisy Zane spoke calmly. Otherwise, why do you think I came here? Bonnie Maxwell didnt say anything. Daisy Zane said, Using my power against me. Bonnie Maxwell Youre the first. Bonnie Maxwell was speechless. She felt the blood in her body flowing backward, and she had to take deep breaths to get some air into her lungs.
You also want to go against Charles Amos, Daisy Zanes expression in her eyes became colder inch by inch. Celebrity actress gives birth to a child underage. Charles Amos blinked her big eyes. Kevin rk did not know about this matter and frowned slightly when he heard it. The faces of the rk Family members all looked ugly. You, stop talking nonsense, Bonnie Maxwell defended. What evidence do you have that I am against Charles Amos? The messages intercepted by Celestial Pivot. You ask me what evidence I have? Daisy Zanes voice grew harsher. If you want to deny it, then dont do it. You think that by joining Celestial Pivot, I cant do anything to you? Youre so naive. The entire Celestial Pivot is at my disposal, what do you have to be proud of? As always Daisy Zane would pick the most sensitive points to provoke people. Bonnie Maxwell took pride in being a member of Celestial Pivot, so Daisy used her identity as Nathan Ninevara to crush her proud backbone. Bonnie Maxwells chest heaved violently, and everything else in her vision besides Daisy Zane seemed to have all be void. She was Nathan Ninevara, so any traces she left online would be found out. Denial would be harder than ascending to heaven. Since the face had been torn off Yes, thats right. I helped cover up the messages online. I was also involved in sending out the video, Bonnie Maxwells face twisted with anger. And the thing about Charles Amos, I did that too. So what? I admit it! What can you do to me! Bonnie Maxwell believed firmly that the rk Family would certainly consider her family and not do anything to her. Daisy Zane looked at her, and after a moment, she chuckled. This chuckle seemed to seal their fates. I had people surround this ce, Daisy Zane said. Without my order, no one can leave. Maxwell Family, rk Family No one can protect you today. Chapter 398: 352: Who Is She Chapter 398: 352: Who Is She
Trantor:549690339 On their way here, Daisy Zane had asked James Collins to bring people to surround this ce. Because they were not sure if the person here was ra Mitchell or not, they did not make a big fuss, but secretly arranged someone to surround it.
Not to mention ra Mitchell, all the people in this tea room, as long as she does not allow it, no one can leave. ra Mitchell stared at her with wide eyes: You dare! Daisy Zane lowered her eyes and sent a voice message to James Collins: James Collins,e upstairs. Daisy Zane, this is the Imperial Capital, who do you think you are? Even if you surround this ce, what do you think you can do to me?! She is my wife, Kevin rk. Not to mention in the Imperial Capital, anywhere, any matter is up to her mood, said Arthur North softly. ra Mitchell looked at Arthur North incredulously: Third Master you would disregard the rtionship between our two families for her sake? Its Hugo rk who should care about the rtionship, what does it have to do with me? Arthur North said softly, The rk Family doesnt put money in my pocket every year. Hugo rk: The rest of the rk Family: ra Mitchell breathed heavily, looking at Arthur North, and at the man in front of her who had fascinated her for ten or more years. After a long while, she said, Arthur North, if you want to get rid of the rk Family, you have to give up their power. Without their power, what will you use to protect Daisy Zane? The Maxwell Family can give it a try, and see what I use to protect her, Arthur North said coldly.
As the words fell, James Collins pushed open the door of the tea room. Everyone looked at the entrance. Those who guarded the door on both sides were all on guard, but since they heard the conversation in the tea room and didnt hear any orders inside, they didnt move. Seeing that they had no intention of attacking, James Collins entered the tea room with a man beside him. Only when they got inside did they find so many people. He frowned and looked directly at his sister: So many people? Daisy Zane looked at Diego Giovanni who came in with him. Diego Giovanni still had no expression, only a tight face, but he nodded slightly to Daisy Zane. My parents and my elder brothers family, said Kevin rk. Ah, James Collins rxed his expression, noticing the woman who looked like Kevin rk, Its uncle and aunt. Excuse me. Elina rk and Tom Wayne nced at his blue hair. Although they didnt know who he was, both of them nodded politely.
Uncle, Charles Amos called out. James Collins peach blossom eyes curved: Youre here too. Charles nodded his little head. Theo rk looked at Diego Giovanni and got up, Deputy Director Giovanni, what are you doing here? Diego Giovanni looked at him, Commander rk is also here. Yeah. Diego Giovanni looked at Daisy Zane again and answered his earlier question: I came to deal with some matters. Why did youe to the Imperial Capital? Daisy Zane asked. I was transferred back the day before yesterday, Diego Giovannis tone and his voice didnt change, but it made people feel that he had be a little gentler. Arthur North: How did he feel that this man was following his little girl around wherever she went? Theo rk looked at Daisy Zane again.
This girl really gave them too many surprises. She even knew Diego Giovanni and got him to treat her differently. Sister, who should I take away? James Collins walked over to her, nced at ra Mitchell, and then rubbed Charles Amos head at his side, Is it her? Mhm. Its you, huh. James Collins walked in front of her, his expression harsh, Its a miracle youre still alive. You ndered Daisys reputation and wanted to hurt my Charles. Isnt it good to be alive? What do you want to do? Of course, make arrangements for your second half of life. As James Collins said this, he reached out to grab her arm. But ra Mitchell dodged in time. After all, ra Mitchell grew up in a military district and could be admired by Thomas Firway, so her skills were naturally not bad. However, James Collins was personally trained by Daisy Zane and could walk the various continents without any worry, so he didnt take her seriously. After just a few exchanges, James Collins grabbed her arm. Then, without pity, he kicked her knee. ra Mitchell was caught off guard, falling to one knee on the ground. With a thud, it seemed as if the kneecap could be shattered. ra Mitchells face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on her body. Tom Wayne looked on with a tightened heart. Calvin Stewart, who had never seen such a scene, was also somewhat scared. Hardy rk also pulled up Hugo rks sleeve. However, James Collins hadnt nned to stop yet. Pressing on ra Mitchells shoulder, he dislocated her arm. Chapter 399: 352: Who Is She _2 Chapter 399: 352: Who Is She _2
Trantor:549690339 Ah! Bonnie Maxwell cried out, trembling with pain all over, her lips shivering as well. Because James Collins was still twisting her arm, the pain kept increasing, gradually making her unable to speak.
Daisy Zane looked on with cold eyes. Natalie Wayne stood up and looked at Bonnie Maxwell. After all, she was a child who had grown up under her care, and it pained her to see Bonnie in such a state. Even though she was furious just now, her heartache was genuine when seeing Bonnie like this. However, when she was about to speak up for Bonnie, Elina rk held her hand, patted the back of it to prevent her from speaking. James released her, and Bonnie Maxwells arm immediately hung down, making her hum in pain again. James squatted in front of her, looking at her, and said with a faint smile, So, it was these hands that sent the videos to cover up the truth for someone else? Now they cant do such things anymore. Fear spread throughout Bonnie Maxwells entire body. Her face was covered in cold sweat, mixed with tears, as she looked at James Collins in terror. James really had the idea of crippling her hands, but as he reached for them, Daisy Zane stopped him. James, thats enough. She didnt want to scare Natalie and the others. James paused and drew back his hand, Youre lucky. He stood up straight and dragged Bonnie Maxwell up by her good arm, Lets go.
Bonnie Maxwell gritted her teeth and endured the pain. After being forcibly dragged by James for a couple of steps, she suddenly yelled with a hoarse voice, Daisy Zane, you dare to take me away illegally! Diego Giovanni turned his gaze to Bonnie Maxwell and said, Bonnie Maxwell, right? Someone filed a report saying that you maliciously ndered and defamed others, causing severe damage to the victims reputation. Please cooperate with the investigation. Daisy Zane looked at Diego Giovanni. She knew that he came specifically for this matter. Taking a person into custody through formal procedures could save her a lot of trouble. Upon hearing Diego Giovannis words, James led Bonnie Maxwell away. As they were leaving, Bonnie Maxwells pain-filled gaze looked towards Theo rk, as if trying to say something. But the pain in her arm kept her from speaking as James tightened his grip. In just a fraction of a second, James had taken her away. Theo rk looked at her eyes, frowning. After all, she was a child who had grown up under his watch as well He looked at Kevin rk, just about to open his mouth to speak, but Kevin rk met his gaze before any words coulde out. This made him swallow his words back. After James had taken Bonnie away, Natalie took a step towards the door but stopped and looked at Daisy Zane, Lucia
Mom, Kevin rk interrupted her in time, Its gettingte, we should go back earlier. Natalie looked at Kevin rk and then at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane stood up without saying a word, slightly nodding her head and bowing to Natalie. She didnt say much, but it showed her attitude. This bow expressed her apology for not pleading for mercy. She wouldnt let Bonnie Maxwell off the hook. The real Daisy Zane had alreadymitted suicide due to her innocence being tarnished. She would never tolerate anyone tarnishing the name Daisy Zane. Everyone from the rk family left together, and Charles Amos stayed behind. Daisy Zane and the others were not nning to stay long either, and were preparing to leave as well. Howe you happened to be here? Daisy Zane asked Diego Giovanni. Diego Giovanni nced at Kevin rk, I saw the news online and called James. I just came here.
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, So Deputy Director Giovanni, where is theinant? If you file theint, then youre it, Diego Giovanni said in a serious tone. Alright, Ill file it, Daisy Zane said. Diego Giovanni said, I can only detain her, but for the rest Just as Kevin rk was about to speak, Daisy Zane beat him to it, Two days will be enough. Alright. After leaving the tea house, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk took Charles Amos back to Rose Garden. Juan Wright was momentarily dazed, following two meters behind Daisy Zane, not saying a word and staring nkly. Even after getting in the car, his eyes were still straight. However, everyone was focused on how to clear up the video issue, and didnt pay much attention to him. Michael Jackson drove the car, and Daisy Zane kept looking out the window. Kevin rks cell phone kept vibrating. He took out his phone and checked it while holding Daisy Zanes hand. Xavier Dominic was sending messages again. Xavier Dominic: [What should we do about Brook Sisters situation? Has anyonee up with a solution? I had someone control the heat of the online news, not letting the news ferment.] Xavier Dominic: [This is too difficult to deal with. They are just taking advantage of the poor conditions and facilities in Cold Green Vige, without any evidence or witnesses, so they dare to spread these rumors.] Xavier Dominic: [Arthur, Arthur, Arthur. Is there any evidence that can be used from Brook Sisters side?] Nobody answered him. A minuteter, Xavier sent another message. [I have always wanted to ask, where is the real Daisy and why did Brook Sister assume Daisys identity? Actually can we try to find a solution from the fact that Brook Sister is not Daisy?] Immediately after this message, someone replied. William Lane: Enamel Cannon: Xavier Dominic: [Damn! You two are here! You didnt say anything! Let me babble on my own.] Enamel Cannon: [What do you mean Brook Sister is not Daisy?] Xavier Dominic: [Yo! We have two big, clueless poor victims here.] William Lane: [What do you mean?] Xavier Dominic didnt bother to figure out what he was asking, and simply said, [You guys take a look at Brook Sistersyered identities and various skills. Does it look like she grew up in Cold Green Vige?] Again, nobody spoke for a while. A few minutester, Enamel Cannon: [So who is she?] Xavier Dominic: [Err ] Kevin looked at the four-word message sent by Enamel Cannon, and his eyes darkened. Yes, who is this little girl? Chapter 400: 353: Wanting to Clarify Things as Soon as Possible Chapter 400: 353: Wanting to rify Things as Soon as Possible
Trantor:549690339 It wasnt far from Santiago Tea House to the rk Manor, and within twenty minutes they arrived at the rks. Everyone was silent on the way, and when they entered the rk Manor, Elina rk said, Third Brothers wife is not a simple one.
Theo rk said, Its more than just not simple. Ever since Ive known Diego Giovanni, Ive never heard him speak so gently to anyone. Diego Giovanni is that him? Calvin Stewart asked. Yes. Theo rk said ambiguously and admiringly, He licks blood off the knifes edge. His body is full of medals and honors, but hes never cared about fame and fortune. Lily Parker pursed her lips and didnt ask any further questions. Whoever could earn her fathers admiration must be a very important person. The person Arthur North is interested in can never be ordinary. Calvin Stewart said. Elina rk and Theo rk both nodded, This miss has skills that are not inferior to Arthur Norths. Nathan Ninevara of Celestial Pivot. Theo rk said, The one who holds the Celestial Pivot in his hand. But ording to this miss, Arthur North has been searching for her all over the world and wants to cut off her hand. Elina rk said, What is Arthur North up to? As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Hugo rk together. Hugo rk was still thinking about the fact that Daisy Zane wasnt Daisy Zane.
Suddenly so many people looked at him, and he paused before saying, I dont know either. You guys just conspire to deceive us. Elina rk snorted. Natalie Wayne, who had not been speaking, and stepped into the front hall, asked, Whats going to happen to Bonnie Maxwell? Everyone looked at each other and didnt speak for a moment. Natalie Wayne looked at them, realizing what was going on but still asked, Is there no way out? When Daisy revealed her identity as Nathan Ninevara, Bonnie Maxwell had no way to retreat. Theo rk said, The fact that we know but are unharmed is thanks to Arthur Norths influence. Or perhaps its that Daisy trusts Arthur Norths family very much. If the news that Nathan Ninevara is Daisy Zane gets out, how many people would swarm into the country? Those who want simply to see her, those who want to challenge her, those who want to subdue her, and even those who want to assassinate her. Does she dare to go against the rk family? Calvin Stewart asked. I always feel that her power is even greater than that. Theo rk said. Calvin Stewart slightly furrowed his brow. Natalie Wayne sighed softly and sat down on a chair.
Elina rk sat next to her andforted her, Its her own fault. From his perspective as a man, if someone bullied Natalie Wayne like that, his approach would not have been any less drastic than Arthur Norths today. The only difference would be Natalie Wayne didnt have such a powerful force, and he wouldnt have let his wife handle everything, like Arthur North, and then cleaned up the mess afterwards. He would have dealt with the person directly. But he could also understand the feelings that Natalie Wayne had for Bonnie Maxwell, whom she had watched grow up. Will the Maxwell Family secretly cause trouble for Arthur North? Natalie Wayne was silent for a while, looking at Elina rk. Third Uncle can handle it. Hugo rk said. Theo rk also said, If the Maxwell Family secretly goes against Arthur North, I dont mind ripping my face off with them. Hearing Theo rks answer, Natalie Wayne felt a little relieved and didnt say anything else. Rose Garden
After Daisy Zane and Arthur North got out of the car, they almost simultaneously received phone calls. Daisy Zane got a call from Holt Lawrence. Nana, when our people went to find the man from Cold Green Vige, Arthur Norths people went too. They almost had a fight. Daisy Zane: Daisy Zane straightened Charles Amos wandering little head, took him to change shoes and entered the living room, Hows the person? Arthur Norths people are watching him in secret. Daisy Zane: Holt Lawrence: We are all family, so it doesnt matter who watches. Why dont your people watch. Holt Lawrence: Is there anything else? Daisy Zane asked. She knew that Holt Lawrence had other things to talk about. Did you guess that I investigated Bonnie Maxwell? Holt Lawrence said. Daisy Zane didnt say anything. Holt Lawrence: Ill send it to you, take a look. Daisy Zane hung up the phone, Kevin rk had already taken Charles Amos out of the washroom after washing their hands: My people are secretly protecting that man from Cold Green Vige. The phone call Kevin rk just took was also about this matter. Yeah, I just heard. Daisy Zane replied while looking at the thing Holt Lawrence sent. Charles Amos, being in a new ce for the first time, was driven by curiosity and had already run off to y around. Bonnie Maxwell bought a banned drug. Daisy Zane sat down and said, The transaction took ce a week ago. She should already have it. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes slightly: What kind of medicine? A drug that can cause sudden heart failure if taken in small doses over time. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk, Its hard to detect and looks like a sudden illness. Kevin rk understood: Ill have a doctor go take a look. Find an excuse so as not to arouse suspicion, Daisy Zane said. Mhm. Kevin rk immediately made a phone call. Spreading rumors without evidence would always make people worry that the truth might be exposed. They probably wouldnt keep this man. So both Kevin rk and Daisy Zane confirmed the mans whereabouts in the shortest time and sent someone to find him. Bonnie Maxwell and Amelia Miles werent afraid to take action at this critical moment. Because once something happened to this man, the first person everyone would suspect would be Daisy Zane. And then, there would be no one left to confront. There would be no chance to clear things up. Before Kevin rks phone call was over, Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott arrived. After the two arrived, Robinson Scott first unterally scolded Allonzo Hobson a few times, and then sat down on the edge of the sofa with a look of disgust. Then Allonzo Hobson sat on the nearest single sofa to her. Robinson Scotts eyes widened instantly. Just as she was about to speak, Daisy Zane clicked her cell phone onto the tea table with a soft sound. Robinson Scott swallowed the words she was about to say and turned to ask, Olivia, have you thought of a countermeasure? Brook Sister, my suggestion is to wait a few days. Allonzo Hobson said, The news has juste out, and the publics mind is filled with sudden emotions,cking rationality. No matter what we say now, people wont listen. Daisy Zane, who was always used to dealing with online news calmly, of course, knew this. But I cant stand the news being online for too long. Daisy Zane said, I want to hold a press conference tonight. Allonzo Hobson was stunned and looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk lowered his eyes and didnt say anything. It seemed that he was weighing the pros and cons of this matter. Allonzo Hobson understood that Third Master rk had no say in this. Whatever Madam wanted to do, he would do. Olivia, do you have evidence? Although Robinson Scott was asking, she was sure that Daisy Zane could handle it. After all, in her eyes, there was nothing Daisy Zane could not do. Some. Daisy Zane recalled some things, found some useful evidence, But it might arouse suspicion about my identity. Chapter 401: 354: Press Conference (1) Chapter 401: 354: Press Conference (1)
Trantor:549690339 Daisy Zane announced an press conference around six in the afternoon, and by six-thirty, Allonzo Hobson had contacted the major media outlets to spread the news. So, the first thing Hill Dawson saw after getting off the airne was this news.
She almost fainted at the airport. She came to discuss a solution, but now the press conference was already being set up. Could she really say goodbye to being an agent? She truly felt useless. The conference was scheduled for 8 oclock. As soon as the news broke, it immediately shot to the top of the trending topics. After Amelia Miles saw the news, she immediately tried to get in touch with Bonnie Maxwell but couldnt get through no matter how many times she called. She was really afraid of Daisy Zanes power. In the past, Daisy could always track her down. Especially in the parking lot incident, Daisy had almost strangled her to death. Amelia still felt lingering fears even now. And she suddenly couldnt get in touch with Bonnie. With a restless heart, Amelia paced back and forth in the living room, feeling her heartbeat quicken with each step. At seven oclock, she called Bonnie again but still got no answer.
But no one came looking for her either. So, in the midst of extreme anxiety, Amelia forced herself to calm down. After all, Bonnie was part of the Celestial Pivot and had taken action within the organization. Even the most formidable hacker would be no match for the Celestial Pivot. Otherwise, the Celestial Pivot would have fallen by now. As she thought about this, Amelias thumping heartbeat gradually stabilized. She considered her options and dialed another number. It was the man who had delivered the man from Cold Green Vige to the Imperial Capital. She asked him to pick up the man from Cold Green Vige and bring him to the press conference scene. In that remote and backward ce, Cold Green Vige, there was no surveince or signals. She didnt believe Daisy could produce any evidence. Perhaps the press conference was just a staged event by the agent and the PR team to let Daisy cry and gain sympathy.
A beautiful woman shedding tears and showing weakness would inevitably garner sympathy from many people. Then, with the help of paid trolls controlling public opinion and 100% biased fans, the tide of public sentiment would turn. Amelia was well versed in these tricks of the entertainment industry. If Daisy wanted to repair her public image and rify the matter, Amelia wouldnt let her have her way. She would make sure Daisy fell from grace and returned to Cold Green Vige. And have the rk Family drive her out of their home The press conference was held at the hotel wherest years Spotlight G took ce. At seven forty-five, reporters and media personnel filled both the inside and outside of the venue. There were also many fans rallying outside. They were all there to support Daisy Zane. The fans were divided into two groups, one shouting for Catherine, and the other for Daisy.
At first, they were quite friendly. But after a few rounds, the groups startedpeting against each other. It became a contest of who could shout louder. We will always believe in Catherine! We will always support Daisy! Catherine! Daisy! Catherine!! Daisy!! Those who knew it was a rally for a single person, and those who didnt, thought the fans from both sides were fighting. Three cars were parked across the street. Daisy Zane watched the fans at the entrance and listened to their chants. Harton rk said, The test results are in, there are indeed traces of drugs in the mans blood. Harton rks men had disguised themselves as Amelias people, telling the man that he needed a medical check for a residence permit. Even temporary residents needed to apply for one. The man didnt suspect anything and immediately cooperated with the doctor during the examination, having his blood drawn. Afterward, when the doctor left and reported back to Harton rk, he even added in a message that it was unfortunate that people without education and living in harsh conditions could be so easily deceived. Is it serious? Daisy Zane asked. Its not life-threatening for now. Daisy Zane didnt dwell on this issue too much. As long as it didnt hinder her rification efforts, she wasnt bothered about the rest. Where are they now? Harton rk sent a message and a few secondster said, Ten minutes. Daisy Zane nodded slightly as she listened to the fans outside. Originally, Harton rks men nned to continue posing as Amelias people and bring the man from Cold Green Vige to the press conference. Daisy wanted to confront him face to face. But after Holt Lawrence secretly listened in on Amelias phone call and informed Daisy, Harton rk didnt let his men take action. They just kept following them. Michael Jackson, go buy some drinks and throat protection for those people outsideter, Daisy Zane said. Michael Jackson, who was seated in the drivers seat, looked in the direction of Daisys gaze and understood whom she was referring to: Alright. Chapter 402 - 354: Press Conference (1)_2 Chapter 402: Chapter 354: Press Conference (1)_2 Trantor: 549690339 Lets go to the entrance. Daisy Zane said. Arthur North paused for a moment, Juan Wright also saw the back: Teacher, there are media outside and its very likely that someone will attack the person while causing chaos. Both of them looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk also hesitated for a moment, but soon said: Block the media and fans, and prevent anyone from mixing in. Yes. Juan Wright immediately arranged it over the phone. Early on, their people were stationed outside the hotel. Kevin rk: Ill go with you. You all go through the back door. But this time Kevin rk didnt listen to her, instead, he firmly said, Ill go with you. Seeing that he couldnt be persuaded, Daisy Zane handed him a mask from the car: Put it on. Kevin rk took the mask, reluctantly said, Ah I Stop it. Daisy Zane blocked his words directly. Kevin rks statement I look so good that I cant be hidden suddenly got stuck in his mouth. It choked him for a moment. Arthur North held back hisughter, and Juan Wright couldnt help butugh out loud. Then he received a re from Kevin rk: Juan Wright, youre going to M Continent tomorrow. Third Master, Third Master, I was wrong. I wontugh anymore, I wont. Juan Wright immediately backed down, his teacher was Nathan Ninevara, he hasnt shown off yet, he hasnt had a chance to ask for advice, he wouldnt leave, If Iugh again, Arthur North wont find a wife. Arthur North: Get out. Daisy Zane chuckled softly. Kevin rk breathed a sigh of relief and finallyughed. Allonzo Hobson and Robinson Scott drove the car directly to the back door. Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper escorted Daisy Zane from the front door together with Kevin rk. Today, Daisy Zane wore a deep green long dress, her tall figure and aura fully disyed. The moment she got out of the car, the fans shouts became even louder, like a wave of heat hitting their faces. However, as soon as Kevin rk got out of the car and stood beside Daisy Zane, the fans voices suddenly quieted down in unison. It could be described as silent as a grave. Kevin rk was only wearing a ck shirt, and the cuffs matched the color of Daisy Zanes dress. He stood still, nced around, then looked down, watching Daisy Zane with his peripheral vision. However, the fans were still stunned by the mans physique, half of his faces good looks, and his aura. After being quiet for about three or four seconds, Daisy Zane and the others started to walk in, and then the fans couldnt help but shout again. The fans were also stopped on both sides, constantly cheering for Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane walked a certain distance inside and stopped in the middle of the fans. Immediately, the media that couldnt enter swarmed over, but they were all stopped. Daisy Zane turned around and looked at the fans divided into two camps. Today, she had really intended to enter through the back door, but seeing Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zanes support cards across the street, she suddenly didnt want to enter through the back door. This scene, although small in scale and with few people. But it was a scene she had once imagined. Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zane, screenwriter and actor, appearing together As soon as she stopped, the fans stopped their passionate screaming, switching toforting and exhorting words. Daisy, dont be afraid, were all outside, were waiting for you outside. Flynn, we believe in you, we always have. Daisy, dont be sad, Ive scolded them. Flynn, weve analyzed the videos, and theyre already posted online. Its obvious that someone is deliberately spreading rumors, and there are many doubts. We know youre innocent. Whileforting her, Daisy Zane hadnt even reacted yet when some fans suddenly burst into tears. Moreover, this was the contagious kind, one person cries and the others follow, spreading throughout the group. Then Anisa Cooper also started crying, and Hill Dawsons eyes turned red as well. While still crying, theyforted Daisy Zane, standing as her shield. Daisy Zane looked at them, paused for a moment and said, Why are you crying? We feel wronged. And suppressed. Also heartbroken. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and said softly, No need to cry, the ones to cry should be them. Everyone looked at her. Without saying more, Daisy Zane simply said: Everyone should go back earlier, dont wait outside all the time. The press conference will be live-streamed, its the same whether you watch it online here or at home. Dont worry about me, now I should be worried and afraid of those who are plotting behind my back. Everyone goes home and waits for my good news. After finishing, she bowed to her fans. Two secondster, she stood up, then turned around and walked towards the hotel. The fans voices began to shout again, until her figure disappeared and the sound gradually quieted down. The press conference venue had a long table set up. At Sharp 8 oclock, Daisy Zane went on stage, stood in front of the table, and tested the microphone. However, as soon as she finished testing the microphone, reporters from the media began asking questions below the stage. Those who entered the venue were reporters from major media outlets. Originally, the various media organizations received notices, thinking that they would receive the questions arranged by Daisy Zanes team. Moreover, it was Allonzo Hobsons assistant who informed them, so they had to give Allonzo Hobson some face. But they had been waiting until 8 oclock, and hadnt received anything. So, the various media informed their reporters to watch each other and see how other media would ask questions. In any case, they couldnt lose their headline news. As it turned out, one media outlet couldnt hold back and asked outright, Lady Zane, is it true that you had an abortion for that man? Then, the media started asking more and more tricky questions. And as if afraid that other media would steal their questions, they all tried to be the first to ask. As a result, the scene became chaotic for a while. However, Daisy Zane didnt bother with them, but instead sat down calmly, straightened her dress, adjusted the microphone, and then finally said, Everyone please quiet down. Everyone quieted down. Daisy Zane scanned the scene and said: I heard a few of your smoky questions. Some of them if they were a bit more offensive, I would have called the police directly. Allonzo Hobson, listening backstage,ughed softly: Brook Sister is just Brook Sister, shes confronting the media right off the bat. My Brother Nine has already shown restraint. Robinson Scott said, If it were before, this ce would have been turned upside down. Daisy, Daisy, did you use to bowl? Anisa Cooper suddenly asked softly. Except for Kevin rk, everyone looked at Anisa Cooper. Anisa Coopers eyes were still red from crying at the entrance earlier, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she blinked her eyes: Whats wrong? Allonzo Hobsonughed for a moment without saying anything. Robinson Scott looked at her with a speechless expression, and after a while said: Sister, youre so adorable. And your train of thought is so cute too. Anisa Cooper pursed her lips and said nothing, her red eyes looking pitiful. Robinson Scott looked at her for a moment, thenughed: Eat more, so that when your Daisy throws you like a ball, you can knock down more. Hill Dawson alsoughed. Anisa Cooper: Only Kevin rk kept his eyes on Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at the media below the stage and said, To save time, Ill answer all your questions at once. Ive never seen or known the man in the video, and I havent done any of the things he said. Chapter 403 - 355: Press Conference (2) Chapter 403: Chapter 355: Press Conference (2) Trantor: 549690339 The man in the video is named Jeremy Wheeler. ording to his ID, he is a viger of Cold Green Vige. How could Lady Zane not recognize him? Lady Zane said she didnt do those things. Then why would Jeremy Wheeler say such things? And he even spoke vividly, even describing the structure of your house very clearly. Living in the same vige, how could the vigers not recognize each other? Lady Zanes denial is so thorough, is she trying to cover up the truth? After Daisy Zane finished speaking, all the reporters immediately began asking questions one after another, not giving her a chance to catch her breath. Daisy Zane looked at the reporters under the stage, who were like boiling water, before she paused and tapped her cellphone on the microphone. In an instant, a piercing electric sound filled the conference hall, and everyone subconsciously covered their ears, making the reporters quiet down. Daisy Zane nced under the stage, leaned back in her chair, and slowly scrolled through her phone before connecting it to the projector. Then she yed the video of the man from Cold Green Vige. It was a clip that focused on the mans description of the details of Daisy Zanes residence in the vige. Lucia, the dressing table in your room, I sold a years worth of rice and skimped and saved to buy it for you from the town. And the cab beside the bed for your books, you said you liked it, so I spent two months making it for you. You mentioned that you liked the clock that the family who went out to work brought back to the vige. So I went to the town to work for two months just so I could buy one for you. But when I came back, you were in the kitchen with another man You lied and said he was just there to borrow something. Who would believe that? But I chose to believe it because I liked you so much, I forced myself to believe it. Perhaps to verify the authenticity of the mans words, the living quarters in Cold Green Vige were described in detail. So after the video was released, some people drew pictures of Daisy Zanes residence in Cold Green Vige and the interior furnishings online. Daisy Zane downloaded a few drawings from the inte and projected them onto the screen behind her. She said, These are renderings of the living quarters in Cold Green Vige found online. These drawings are simr, and they seem to match the description given by this man in the video. All the media reporters remained silent, not knowing what she was trying to aplish with this information. Even the people watching the live stream were saying that Daisy Zane might have been mentally disturbed. Daisy Zane picked one of the images: This one is the closest and has the highest degree of restoration. So, Lady Zane wants to say that the man in the video knows your residence very well? Then why do you say you dont know him? I dont go back often, and its easy to get into the house in the vige, Daisy Zane replied, Especially since that living quarters is outside the vige, one kilometer away. Its not only easy to enter, but also hard for people to discover. So youre saying someone sneaked into your living quarters? Daisy Zane looked at the reporter who asked the question: Yes. Do you have any evidence? Evidence Lucia! Lucia! Lucia A voice suddenly came from the entrance of the conference hall, interrupting Daisy Zanes words. All the media reporters looked over, and even the camera live streaming the event turned its lens in that direction. Then, everyone saw the man from Cold Green Vige in the videoe in through the entrance. His eyes were fixed on Daisy Zane, and his expression seemed to be filled with longing. He called out Lucia as he ran toward the stage. Daisy Zanes gaze lingered on the man for a second before turning to another person who had followed him in. It was one of Amelia Miles people. He just stood at the entrance without entering. Seeing this mans appearance, Daisy Zanes eyebrows slightly moved, but she didnt reveal much emotion. On the other hand, several people backstage were more excited. Kevin rk squinted his eyes at the man. Robinson Scott said, Its that man! Allonzo Hobson paused beforeughing, Does this count as him delivering his own head on a tter? Robinson Scott: This is going to be interesting. Only Anisa Cooper and Melody Collins were left bewildered, not knowing what had happened or why everyone else was so excited. The man from Cold Green Vige rushed onto the stage, wanting to go straight to Daisy Zane, but security stopped him two meters away from her. When the two were in the same frame, all the cameramen under the stage immediately raised their equipment and took a barrage of photos. The man said, Lucia, Lucia. I finally see you. Ive been in the Imperial Capital for a long time, but I couldnt find you. As soon as I heard you were here, I came right away. Who told you? Daisy Zane leisurely sat in her seat and asked. The man immediately changed his story: I saw it on the inte, so I came over. You seem very well-informed, Daisy Zane replied, What are you here for? I missed you so much, I wanted to see you. Lucia, how could you forget me after all I have done for you? It seems that you care about me deeply, Daisy Zane said indifferently, When did we get together then? Im sure you remember it very clearly. Six years ago, in July, the man said, Of course, I will remember, and I will remember it very clearly. Six years ago, Daisy Zane was twenty years old and already an adult. Not too naive Throughout the live stream, thements in the barrage were almost overwhelmingly one-sided. [Gosh, this man must be at least over 50 years old. How could Daisy Zane even stand him?] [It brought her some benefits, right? Women like this, for their own sake, will do anything.] [Who knows how she got those resources? Might as well say she just reced someone elses name with Flynn.] [This woman is married now! Its a shame for her husband. Who knows how many people shes been with before? Hepletely picked up a worn-out shoe.] [This man looks even older than in the video! My goodness.] [This man is quite pitiful too. His living conditions were already poor, but he still gave everything he could to Daisy Zane. In the end, he couldnt keep anything. He lost his child and his wife ran away.] [Cant say Daisy Zane isnt ruthless.] The live stream barrage was moving too fast for fans to help speak up before they were quickly drowned out by otherments. Listening to the man, Daisy Zane raised the corners of her lips. Instead of saying anything, she lowered her head and searched her phone for a screenshot of the surveince footage and projected it onto the screen. The date in the top left corner was clear, showing that the footage was from the previous month. The still image showed the living quarters in Cold Green Vige. Daisy Zane said, This is the current condition and furnishings in the living quarters in Cold Green Vige. The date is visible for everyone to see on the screen. All the furnishings inside are exactly the same as what this man named Jeremy Wheeler described. It was evident that the image had been captured by a CCTV camera, so everyone stared in amazement at the footage, and the media resumed their barrage of photos. Daisy Zane looked at the reporter who had just asked the question and then turned her gaze to the live stream camera lens. Her phoenix eyes were filled with coldness and an intense, chilling air. She said unhurriedly, Of course, I have evidence. Otherwise, why would I hold a press conference? Chapter 404 - 356: Press Conference (3) Chapter 404: Chapter 356: Press Conference (3) Trantor: 549690339 Is the press conference here? Yes. Dad, look, there are so many media and fans at the hotel entrance. It says Daisy Zanes name on it. Johanes Miles and Old Master Miles were sitting inside the coffee shop across from the hotel, watching the hotel. Dad, live stream. Lorenzo Jasper finally entered the live stream room, but he was kicked out three times. Both of them focused on the live stream content. After watching for a while, Lorenzo Jasper said, Dad, we can also watch this at home. We cant get in here anyway. We cant get in, but they wille out eventually. Old Master Miles said. Lorenzo Jasper said, Dad, are you thinking of With so many media at the entrance, its easy to do anything. Old Master Miles said solemnly, If shes innocent, well use the media to bring her back to the Miles Family. If she isnt, well use the media to step on her and win some fame. Lorenzo Jasper looked at his father. Old Master Miles watched the live stream and said, No matter what, our trip here will be beneficial one way or another. Mm. Lorenzo Jasper continued watching the live stream. At the press conference, after ying the surveince video, Daisy Zane turned to the man named Jeremy Wheeler and said, Youve been with me for six years, so you must know my familys situation very well, right? Jeremy Wheeler took his eyes off the screen, still not understanding the reason for her ying the video. Hearing her question, he answered, Of course, who knows you better than me? You must also be very clear about how many people are in my family, right? Of course. Jeremy Wheeler said in awkward Mandarin, Its only you and your grandma at home, and were taking care of her together. After he finished speaking, Daisy Zane didnt say anything, just lowered her head to find another video to y. It was a video Daisy Zane took with a real camera. And tomemorate that day, she specifically set the date. It was four years ago, in January, before the New Year, when Shopie Easton returned to Cold Green Vige and cleaned the house with Daisy Zane before the New Year. Shopie Easton also brought the camera back to Cold Green Vige. Out of curiosity, Daisy Zane filmed a lot of things during that time. Today, its the big cleaning day. The lens started filming from the entrance, and almost every corner of the room was filmed, We have freebor, so I changed theyout of the room a bit. Look, this bed I just changed the direction. Although it doesnt look much different from before, but its been turned around. This dressing table, its new from Shopie Easton, just assembled yesterday. And this tablemp, also bought by Shopie Easton, one for me and one for my grandma. And this cab, I just made it a few days ago. Is it beautiful? The cab was ced right at the entrance, and one could see it as soon as the door was opened. Hey, freebor, look at the lens. Shopie Easton, look at the lens. At that time, Shopie Eastons hair had just grown down to her shoulders. When Daisy Zane called her, she was being ordered to clean the windows and didnt respond. But Daisy Zane aimed the camera directly at her face, What are you doing? Youre ignoring me when I ask you to do some work? Not bad, its much cleaner than before. More than twice as dirty. Shopie Easton looked at her expressionlessly. Daisy Zane immediately ran off and aimed the lens at Victoria Zane: Grandma, you look great on camera. Better than Shopie Easton. So youre saying Im not pretty? Victoria Zane said gently. No, Grandma is the most beautiful. Daisy Zane kept filming, And this, I just made this little chair. I made six in total. I put three here and three in the kitchen. These, these, I need to exin. I made these vases, look, there are three in total. Tomorrow, lets see if there are any beautiful flowers on the mountain. When the video finished ying, everyone was a bit slow to react. The real Daisy didnt appear in the video, only her voice could be heard, calling out to Shopie Easton. Daisy said directly: After today, all the videos Ive yed will be handed over to the detection agency. It can bepletely confirmed that there will be no editing. And all the dates are real. So Daisy looked at Jeremy Wheeler: Six years ago, the dressing table wasnt there yet, nor was the cab. These things you mentioned appeared four years ago, and the room arrangement after these things appeared ispletely different from what youre saying now. Jeremy Wheeler began to panic a little, he had been clutching the security guards arm and trying to go forward, but now he let go. Daisy continued: And the clock you mentioned I had it custom-made the year beforest. I can still find all the bills and invoices for that. Or we can go to the store and check. They have records of all custom orders. When they were ordered and what was ordered, theres proof of everything. Jeremy Wheeler swallowed and subconsciously nced at the door. But the distance was too great, and because of the panic, he couldnt see anything clearly. He took two steps back but seemed to remember something and stopped: Lucia, I, I dont know what youre talking about. You cant just abandon me like this, you cant. There were no questions from the reporters, they were all watching the stage. And the barrage ofments in the live stream suddenly stabilized a bit, with the direction of the wind shifted. [This man is obviously a liar. He has too many loopholes.] [Lucia must be innocent. Its you crazy people who just throw dirt on someone with any little piece of news.] [Without any evidence, you just nder a womans innocence. Your hearts are ck.] [May those who often expose others on the inte also experience being exposed.] [Id better not say anything. The direction of this is a bit confusing.] Jeremy Wheeler looked at the reporters offstage, his eyshes trembling slightly, and then said: Lucia, you, you cant turn your back on me. Im not talking nonsense. Are all those years of our rtionship fake? If its fake, how would I know the current room arrangement? In my memory, the room arrangement is just like this. Your video can only prove that the arrangement was like this on that day, and it cant prove it stayed like that afterward. Daisy looked at him. He was not stupid at all. It was only because he didnt have much experience and didnt know much about the outside world that Harton rks people managed to deceive him. Otherwise, his reaction speed alone would make it difficult to fool him. The room was only arranged like this three years ago, and after it was arranged, I left Cold Green Vige. Daisy said, Besides the arrangement, you have too many loopholes. And you emphasize the arrangement of Cold Green Vige too much, which is the biggest problem. The more one wants to be true, the more detailed one speaks. It was precisely because of this that Daisy was able to use the rted evidence to prove her innocence. Jeremy Wheeler wanted to speak again, but Daisy interrupted him: I do have evidence for why you know the current appearance of Cold Green Vige. Daisy yed another surveince video. You should be familiar with this date. Daisy tapped her fingers on the table and said, Not long after this day, someone took you away from Cold Green Vige. When her words were finished, the surveince video that originally showed the static image of a room suddenly had the door pushed open. Three men entered. These three people rummaged in the room for a while, checking almost every corner. Before leaving, they even took detailed photos of the room. The person at the door, seeing the surveince video, immediately wanted to leave. But as he turned and walked away, he was stopped and forced back. Someone was blocking the doorway. Daisy looked at the door and said, To the person at the door since youre here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Chapter 405 - 357: They Are the Ones Who Should Cry Chapter 405: Chapter 357: They Are the Ones Who Should Cry Trantor: 549690339 All the media in the venue turned their attention to the entrance. The live broadcasting equipment also turned towards the entrance. The man standing at the entrance, who wanted to run but couldnt, was one of the men in the surveince video rummaging through things and taking photos. The audience was in an uproar. Daisy Zane said, You brought him here. And now what? You want to ditch him and run because youve been exposed? I dont understand what youre talking about. I want to leave because I have matters to attend to, and you wont let me go. What, do you dare to restrict personal freedom? The man shouted at the entrance. Daisy Zane looked at him without speaking. Meanwhile, Kevin rk suddenly went on stage with a bottle of water. Daisy Zane tilted her head. Kevin rk, still wearing his mask, nced at Jeremy Wheeler first, then unscrewed the water bottle and ced it next to Daisy Zane: Drink some water, moisten your throat. His voice wasnt loud, but it spread through the hall through the microphone. Those who had been looking at the entrance turned their heads back again. Everyone stared at the man for a moment, then immediately started taking photos. Allonzo Hobson: Robinson Scott rolled his eyes: ..He Is it necessary for him to show off like this? Perhaps. Robinson Scott: He really couldnt find the words to say. At this moment, the man at the entrance wanted to run again and seemed to have made up his mind to confront the people at the door. However, the bodyguard at the entrance sensed his intention, and directly held his hand, not giving him any chance to resist, and brought him onto the stage. It seemed like the bodyguard was only grabbing his arm, but the man couldnt fight back at all. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk: Arent you going down? Can I not go down? Kevin rk asked with a smile. The live barrage was filled with question marks. Daisy Zane: Youre blocking my light by standing here. Kevin rk: Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and took a sip of water: Itll be over in a while. Mhm. Kevin rk ruffled her hair, Ill wait for you downstairs for a moment then. The live barrage came back to life. [Who is this, who is this, who is this, who is this, who is this!] [Why are pink bubbles popping up in this live broadcast?] [Whats up with this man? Why does his voice sound so good! Damn! Im pregnant!] [Is it a bit sweet or is it just me being single for too long?] [This man couldnt be the one written on the marriage certificate, right?] [While the legitimate husband is here, I dont know what the rumor-mongers are thinking about? They are very much in love!] [Those who said Brook Gods man is fat, bald, and pot-bellied, get out! Have you ever seen such a handsome man!] [I also want to be patted on the head. Oh my God! Am I watching a press conference? More like a love live broadcast.] By making an appearance, not only did Kevin rk show off their affection, but he also managed topletely change the direction of the situation. Daisy Zane looked at the two people on stage: Do you need me to exin the situation for you? Neither of them spoke. Daisy Zane continued, First, Cold Green Vige wasnt just home to two people, it was three. Second, the room arrangement was incorrect. Third, the dressing table wasnt bought by you, the cab wasnt made by you, and the clock was custom-made by me. I have evidence for all of these who gave you the confidence and audacity to spread rumors? Still, no one spoke. Daisy Zane stood up and looked at Jeremy Wheeler, the coldness in her eyes like a blizzard pressing down on him: Youre risking your life for someone behind you, how will she treat you? What did she promise you? Imperial Capitals residence registration? A car? A house? A worry-free second half of your life? Jeremy Wheeler looked at Daisy Zane in horror, retreating a few steps. Daisy Zane began to attack his psyche: Ill let you off if I dont call the police. But if I do, do you know what will happen to you? Imprisonment for up to three years, detention, restriction or deprivation of political rights. And after just three months, let alone three years, what do you think youll get from them? I, I Jeremy Wheeler was stunned. Did they say youll definitely not be discovered and that Id never find evidence? Did they send this man toe with you during my press conference, thinking they could kill me and watch me fall in disgrace, weeping bitterly? Daisy Zane sneered, What do they amount to? Just a bunch of cowards. Jeremys mouth seemed to be blocked, unable to speak. Reform yourself and be a better person once youre released, Daisy Zane said, finishing her words and tapping a few times on her phone. Thinking she was calling the police, Jeremys legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground, his vision grew dark: Dont call the police, dont call the police. Ill tell you, someone sent me. Someone approached me in Cold Green Vige. They didnt just find me, they found many people in the vige, but only I agreed. Kevin rk smirked backstage. The little girl knew that Jeremys psychological defenses would easily be broken. What she wanted was for Jeremy to admit it himself. When the man next to Jeremy heard his confession, he closed his eyes and cursed silently. They said theyd give me a lot of money, let me live in a small city, and have a worry-free second half of life. Jeremy said, squatting on the ground, his rough hands constantly rubbing his hair, I came here with them. But after arriving, I felt both fearful and guilty. Daisy Zane watched him. You and your grandma lived on the mountain for many years, and the vige chief wouldnt allow anyone to disturb you. You always covered yourself so well when you went out. The vigers had never seen your face, and naturally, I couldnt have either. Jeremys ent became thick with emotion, I feel guilty for framing you for no reason, so I backed out. The scene turned into whispers, and the live stream barrage, especially Daisy Zanes fans, had gone berserk. But they locked me up and wouldnt let me go. They kept persuading me that the situation would never be exposed and that I should be at ease. They even doubled the money they promised me. I was blinded by the money, Im sorry, Im sorry. Daisy Zanes expression remained unchanged. Just a few seconds after he finished speaking, she said, I called the police before the press conference. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. A grown man, he squatted on the ground, hugging his head and crying. Immediately, the door to the press conference opened, and the police walked in from the entrance. It was the people sent by Diego Giovanni. If it werent for therge number of media present, Diego Giovanni would have wanted toe personally. The police showed their badges to the media, said a few words asking for their cooperation during the investigation, and took the two men away. Calling the police during a press conference and seeing it through to the end was a first for Daisy Zane. After the people left, the scene quieted down. Daisy Zane walked to the microphone, adjusted it, and said to the live-streaming camera, All the original evidence has been handed over to the police. I will cooperate with the investigation afterwards. Reporters still had questions, but seeing Daisy Zanes expression, their lips moved without daring to speak. Daisy Zane continued, By now, it should have been three years ago. Some changes took ce in the Cold Green Vige residence. As a result, the vases, chairs, and two tablemps were all broken. Thats why we have the current room. Youve seen it, there are fewer things. Thats why I installed surveince in Cold Green Vige. Allonzo Hobson let out a sigh of relief backstage, Good thing we installed that surveince, or thered really be trouble now. Hill Dawson eximed, Some things really seem like theyre arranged by fate. The video from years ago, the surveince now. Pausing for a moment, Daisy Zane looked at the live-streaming camera and raised the corner of her mouth defiantly, I want to say something to the fans As I said, the ones who should be crying are them. Chapter 406 - 358: They Have All Grown Up Chapter 406: Chapter 358: They Have All Grown Up Trantor: 549690339 The press conference is almost over, Lorenzo. We should hurry to the hotel entrance, said the Old Master. The Old Master threw his tablet onto the table and got up to leave. Johanes Miles picked up the tablet and followed him, Dad, slow down. Hurry up, or we might miss them. Dad, we dont know if theyre leaving from the front or back door. Before he could finish his sentence, a man suddenly appeared at the entrance, blocking their path. The man was dressed in sportswear and wore a duckbill cap, its brim covering his eyes, revealing only his slightly cold thin lips. Sensing the man had ill intentions, Johanes Miles instantly became cautious, Can I help you? Yes. What do you want? The Old Master frowned. The man pulled a faint smile, his voice indifferent, Is this store mine? And so? Johanes Miles asked. So as I was passing by, I happened to overhear a few things. Old Master and Johanes Miles both stared at him. You intend to use the media, public opinion, to pressure her into returning to the Miles family? Who are you? Johanes Miles questioned. The man didnt answer his question but said, Stay here and rest for a while. Once the people across leave, then you can leave. Who are you to stop us from leaving? Johanes Miles said with a low voice. Then try it, see if you can leave just like that. The man smiled. The Old Master stared at him then said, Lorenzo, call the police. Johanes immediately took out his phone to make a call. The man chuckled lightly, then in the next moment he grabbed Johaness hand. Johanes flinched in pain, letting go of his hand, dropping his phone. After he let go of his hand, the man bent down to catch the phone. He seemed to be in no hurry,pletely at ease, Ill hold on to this for you. What the hell are you trying to do! Just rx and wait for a bit. Once those people leave, Ill let you go. The man spoke softly, Would you like some coffee? The Old Master red at the man. Ignorant of his identity, they were in Imperial Capital, where powerful folks often hid away. After a while, using his cane for support, he returned to the cafe. Johanes was clenching his wrist, he snorted coldly, and sat back down with his dad. The man in the meanwhile stood at the entrance, looking towards the hotel across. He stood there for a long time, until Kevin rk and Daisy Zane left. The fans gradually dispersed, and the media began to retreat. He looked down and chuckled, speaking gently to himself, Theyve all grown up. In the car Daisy Zane saw the support banner on Juans head and the support bracelet on Michaels wrist. She remained silent. Third Master, I brought one for you too. Juan handed an icy blue support bracelet to Kevin rk. Kevin rk hesitated for a second, took it, and put it on his wrist. Daisy Zane: . Kevin rk: The color is pretty nice. Daisy Zane looked at the support bracelet on his wrist, suddenly feeling the color a bit dazzling. She asked, Where did you get this from? Fans gave it to us, Juan exined. Michael added, After we bought drinks and mints for the fans, we chatted with them for a bit. Daisy Zane noticed that Michaels throat was raspy. Your throat Juanughed, Each time Juan handed a drink, he said, Lady Zane wants everyone to go home, please be safe. He kept repeating until he lost his voice, still no-one left. Daisy Zane: Kevin rk: Daisy Zane stayed quiet, opened her Facebook, and started checking the messages. There were already five trending discussions about her. The public opinion hadpletely shifted. Thepany had timely issued a notice. Hill Dawson also concluded the incident on her Facebook. She even especially thanked the fans for their support. The clockpany from that year had also made public, clear and detailed proving that their product was customized. Daisy Zane figured it must have been Joseph Allens doing. It was Joseph Allen who had helped contact the clockpany at that time. When the clock was made, a lot of thought was put into it, with Daisy Zanes name and white orchid flower engraved on the clock. But when the clock waspleted, the real Daisy Zane never saw it. Now the clock had stopped working All the reviews online were quite positive, except for a few who were still questioning the evidence Daisy Zane put forth. Some suggested that the video could be fake since it was too much of a coincidence to have video footage and surveince. They even suggested that even if it was sent to a detection agency, the agency might be bribed to lie. And then those who raised suspicions were drowned out online by Daisy Zanes fans and spectators . [The video is fake? How was it fake? The Daisy Zane in the video, with such short hair, such an innocent face, its clearly from a few years ago. Tell me, how was it faked? How was it faked?] [Some people really have bad eyes, and their ears dont work either. But they are good at taking things out of context. Didnt you hear what Daisy said afterwards? The security cameras were installed in Cold Green Vige after an incident. They only use electricity, dont connect to the inte, and use storage cards!] [I advise you to read more and speak less. Dont let people know that you have nomon sense the moment you open your mouth.] [All the original copies of the videos have been handed over to the police, you dare to question the police. Wow! That takes courage.] [If you have the guts to say it here, then why dont you go to the police and let them investigate? All you do is talk nonsense online, but in real life, youre nothing more than timid turtles.] The incident was resolved smoothly andpletely. A few negative voices were expected, as there are always some people who cant keep their mouths or hands to themselves. It was inevitable. All theizens were immersed in the excitement of the reveal at that moment. Especially Daisy Zanes fans, they were celebrating the sessful rification. Some drama fans were relieved that the airing of the TV series was not affected. Even at around 11 PM, the streaming tform announced: An additional two episodes of the drama would be aired each night this week. They cleverly rode on the wave of the hype. Those celebrating, celebrated, those watching, watched, and those eating melons, ate melons. Everyone was oblivious to the fact that there were three people in the video Daisy Zane used as evidence. It was not until past two in the morning that someone finally questioned, [There were three people in Cold Green Vige. Who was filming? Why did the person filming call Daisy Zane Daisy?] After this message was posted, many people started discussing it. After over a thousand threads of discussion, someone elsemented: [Do you think theres a possibility that the current Daisy Zane is not Daisy Zane?] The discussion then gradually began to be bizarre. [Could she have been possessed?] [Have you ever heard of soul swapping?] [Wow! Enough guys! This is too much, especiallyte at night.] Everyone continued discussing, but at around 5 AM, the discussion suddenly disappeared online Chapter 407 - 359: The Truth About Black Ryan Easton Chapter 407: Chapter 359: The Truth About ck Ryan Easton Trantor: 549690339 In the morning around 8 oclock, Daisy Zanes cell phone rang twice, her eyshes fluttered slightly, but she did not wake up. Kevin rk had been awake for a while, but he didnt want to disturb her sleep, so he remained still. Seeing her eyshes move, Kevin rk kissed her face gently. What time is it? After a while, Daisy Zane asked with her eyes still closed. Kevin rk held her hand, smoothing her hair gently, Its past eight oclock, sleep a bit more. Daisy Zane was silent for another while. When Kevin rk thought she was asleep again, she spoke, Free this morning? Hmm. Kevin rk kissed her lips again, What do you want to do? I need to meet your parents at rk Manor. Kevin rk was taken aback, but thenughed, No rush, we have plenty of time for that. Sleep a bit more. Im awake. Daisy Zanes voice still sounded foggy. Time to pay a visit. Lets sleep a bit more, no rush. Kevin rk responded. Hmm. Daisy Zane closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Over ten oclock, Kevin rk drove Daisy Zane and Charles Amos to Celestial Pivot. The two entered through the back door, not staying for long. Daisy Zane came to get some things. She had asked Holt Lawrence to fetch a few things from her warehouse yesterday. She wanted to give them to Kevin rks parents and his elder brothers family. She had two warehouses in Celestial Pivot. One was for storing some beautiful stones and other misceneous antiques, paintings, and such. Some were gifts, some were sourced by Robinson Scott from his dad and others were collected by Robinson Scott from all over. The warehouse was stocked to the brim Daisy Zane wasnt quite sure what else was inside. The other warehouse was used solely for storing hairpins. All sorts of precious hairpins. From ancient times to the present anywhere with beautiful, valuable hairpins, she would have them stored in this warehouse. Every single hairpin here was priceless. But before she met Kevin rk, Daisy Zane only ever used stic hairpins that cost 9,93 USD each. No one knew why she collected so many hairpins and yet never used them. When asked, she would not answer. After retrieving the items from Celestial Pivot and loading them into the car, Holt Lawrence whispered to Daisy Zane just as they were about to leave, Nana, why does Third Master seem a bit displeased? I think he doesnt like me. Daisy Zane nced at him and replied, If you swindled me out of a lot of money, on seeing you, Id unscrew your head first. Holt Lawrence was shocked. Holt Lawrence was frightened. Holt Lawrences neck hurt. I I didnt know. Holt Lawrence stammered. And after you knew? I thought you were joking who knew you were being serious. Holt Lawrence argued. Daisy Zane: Do I look like amitment phobe? Holt Lawrence nodded his head, but when he noticed her gaze on his neck, he quickly shook his head. After leaving Celestial Pivot and seeing Holt Lawrence, Kevin rk remembered a few things. Little Girl, when we first met, Holt Lawrence suddenly refunded me a sum of money. That was your doing, wasnt it? Daisy Zane was ying a game on Charles Amoss cellphone in the co-pilot seat while Charles Amos craned his neck from the back seat to watch. He was afraid that this woman would intentionally lose his carefully earned rank. Hmm, Daisy Zane responded lightly, You dont have to thank me. Kevin rk smiled, I have to say thank you, Madam. Charles Amos nced at him and then stared at the cellphone in Daisy Zanes hand. Daisy Zane poked at her cellphone, click after click, and then freely gave a kill to someone on the opposing team in her game. Charles Amos pursed his lips, clearly unhappy about this, but dared not speak up. So it is because you paralyzed Jose Easton that you found out about the name Kevin rk? He asked after some thought. Yes. Kevin rk recalled their meeting at the Doomsday Hotel in Truro City. As he gave his name, the hostility of the little girl disappeared instantly. Why did you suddenly attack Jose Easton? Kevin asked. Nathan Ninevara got his reputation initially for two reasons. The first was challenging Holt Lawrence. Secondly, it was paralyzing Jose Easton, leading to Jose issuing a warrant for his arrest. But he always felt the little girl didnt attack Jose for fame, there must be some hidden reasons. Daisy Zanes hand paused for a moment, then she began ying the game earnestly. After a moment of silence she said, I was in Continent A at the time, intending to use your power. Kevins hand tightening on the steering wheel. I originally nned to paralyze Jose Easton, and then expose my location. Daisy said, You would send people to catch me, inevitably causing a conflict with Edward Kirstens people, allowing me to escape in the ensuing chaos. The mention of Edward Kirsten made Charles Amos shrink back immediately. Kevin rk hadnt expected this. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and it took him a while to ask, So why did you stop? I found out what Jose Easton was researching secretly. Daisy casually replied while fiddling with her phone, I didnt want to get you involved. While threatened by Edward Kirsten, she learned about Kevin rks actions. The sharp contrast made her respect the name Kevin rk deeply. So she immediately backed out, not wanting to implicate him. Kevin rk slowed the car, his mind ying those sentences over and over. He had the chance of meeting the little girl earlier. Although he couldnt avoid the incident with Edward Kirsten, he could have avoided the one in Cold Green Vige. Moreover, Edward Kirsten had always been kind to her. If Jose Easton had gone to Continent A at that time. If he happened to meet the little girl who was plotting to escape in the confusion. Would that not have spared her from the hardships that followed? And then? Kevin asked. I borrowed Gael Eastons power. Daisy said, I hacked ten of Gael Eastons base locations, which kept him on edge. He then went to Continent A to catch me. Daisy had always felt as though she owed Gael Easton a debt because of this. Even knowing theplications surrounding Gael Eastons background, she didnt sever ties with him. She would be willing to be used by Gael Easton, if the need arose. Kevin rks heartache had mutated into feeling stifled. Gael mentioned that someone on Continent A revealed that I am the hacker. Daisy said, When I met Gael on Continent M, he recognized me instantly. Gael let her off the hook because he found her attractive. Who disclosed it? Kevin asked. ording to Gael, it was likely Alice Eugene. The woman we fought in Red Cliff Vige. We were always at odds. Kevin rk understood. He remained silent for a while, then regretfully said, We could have met earlier. Daisy Zane looked at him, then ndly replied, Met for what? To tempt me into having a premature romance? Kevin rk: Daisy Zane smirked, then Kevin rk spoke, Experiencing the joy of growth, raising my wife, seems to be a good idea. Daisy Zane: Chapter 408 - 360: Finn Clark Chapter 408: Chapter 360: Finn rk Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rk informed his family in advance, so Arthur Norths entire family specially came over. It was Daisy Zanes first formal visit, and the rk family treated her with great ceremony. They also treated Wilton Edwards kindly, treating him as a member of Daisys family. In just a few days, uncle Edwards had clearly gained some weight. After eating lunch together, Daisy Zane went back to Kevins courtyard to rest. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Kevin cooked a separate meal for Daisy Zane. Kevin knew very well about Daisys appetite. She ate less during lunch, so he was worried that she would be hungry. Uncle Edwards went to rest, whereas Charles Amos stayed with Natalie Wayne in the front courtyard. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane had another meal together in a gazebo. Are you staying here tonight? asked Kevin rk. Yes, said Daisy Zane, If you have something to do, go ahead. Ill be fine here. I dont have much to deal with, just some stuff in my study. Daisy Zane didnt speak anymore and just quietly ate her food. How are you nning to handle Amelia Miles? Kevin asked. Amelia Miles was, after all, a different kind of existence, so he didnt want to make decisions for her or help her handle matters. He was afraid that the little girl might want to keep Amelia Miles face. After the dancepetition. Daisy said calmly. No matter the oue of the dancepetition, this period of time was considered as thest favor she would give to Amelia Miles face. Hmm. With Bonnie Maxwell arrested, Amelia Miles will be well-behaved for now. Kevin rk said. It doesnt matter. She can continue acting. Daisy Zane said, I will settle the score with her one by one when the timees. Kevin rk lightly raised his eyebrows. After finishing their meal, Kevin went to his study room. Daisy Zane went back to her bedroom, but didnt sleep. Instead, she worked on a script. Around three oclock, Daisy Zane left her room. Seeing the closed door of the study, she informed the housekeeper and went to the front courtyard. Natalie Wayne and Elina rk had woken up early, and they had already been apanying Charles Amos to y the piano for a while. Seeing Daisy Zaneing, Natalie Wayne went to sit with her. Elina rk also exchanged a few words with Zane before going back to watch Charles Amos y the piano. Natalie Wayne and Daisy Zane sat in the living room. After a while, Natalie said, Its been a long time since weve had children at home. Ever since Charles came, my brothers spirits have lifted a lot. Daisy Zane was a bit taken aback by the mention of Brother Louis but realized the reference was to Kevin rks father. She said, Charles can be quite mischievous sometimes. Youve raised him well. Natalie Wayne said. Daisy Zane just smiled without replying. As for Charles she didnt have too many expectations of him. All she wanted was for him to be healthy and not to go astray. In fact, at the beginning, she was very resistant to the idea of Charles learning many things. She was very afraid that Charles would be like Edward Kirsten. Butter on, she went ahead and taught Charles everything he wanted to learn. He ys the piano very well, hes very talented. said Natalie Wayne, Alex Justin of the Court Music Academy has mentioned more than once that Charles talent has the potential to surpass Kevins. Kevins piano ying is very good too. Daisy Zane said. Tom Wayne smiled and said, Arthur North loved the piano very much. He had big dreams since he was a child. When he was little, I wanted him to take over my ss, but no matter how much I pushed him, he refused to learn anything other than the piano. He even said he wanted to be a pianist. A gentle smile appeared in Daisy Zanes eyes. She imagined young Kevin rk talking about bing a pianist. Seeing her smile, Tom Wayne also smiled, Kevin has always been open-minded. The rk Family didnt need him to inherit, and he didnt have the burden of carrying on the family line. He had two older brothers, and Enamel Cannon was two years older than him. He could do whatever he wanted without any worries. Daisy Zane looked at Tom Wayne, sensing that she wanted to say something to her. But in the end, things didnt go ording to his original intentions. Daisy Zane listened quietly. When Kevin was 15, he had a great opportunity. Alex Justin wanted to take him to a concert in the M Continent. Tom Wayne recalled, Both Alex and Kevin were very confident that time. As long as the performance was sessful Kevins dream would have been almost realized. Daisy Zanes fingers slowly clenched. How could something that Kevin rk was confident in not seed? Unless something unexpected happened, which led to him rarely ying the piano now. For a while, Kevin was very happy, practically glued to the piano Tom Wayne looked at Charles Amos, and suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure in him, causing her to space out for a moment. She paused and said, But a week before leaving for the M Continent, the news of Edward Norths death arrived. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled violently. Edward North, Kevin rks second brother. The second brother who was never mentioned. Edward was a soldier at the border. During a mission he was killed. Tom Wayne said softly, They said he was shot in the chest and rolled down the Snoro Mountain. By the time they went to search for him, he was already gone. In the vast snow-covered mountain, no one knew where he was buried. Gone without a trace. Daisy Zane looked at the delicate and elegant woman in front of her, paused for a moment, and gently grasped her hand. Tom Wayne felt her hand and came back to her senses, she turned and smiled at Daisy before continuing, Kevin and his second brother had always been close. It might be because Nathan North was older and had started a family earlier. Kevin and Edward were closer. So, Edwards death was a huge blow to him. Kevin locked himself in his room for a week and never went to the M Continent. After that, the piano he had always used was put into the storage room. Alex Justin tried to persuade him almost every day, but in the end, he never convinced Kevin toe back. Tom Wayne said, After that some rumors about Kevin spread in the Imperial Capital. All of them were bad. And Kevin gave all his shares in the rk Family to Enamel Cannon. To this day, we still dont know what Kevin is doing. His time at home bes less and less, and sometimes he onlyes back once a year during the Chinese New Year. From the rumors hes just idling around. Daisy Zane thought about the things being secretly researched by the Easton Group. Kevin rk wanted to use intelligent technology and robots to rece border soldiers to the greatest extent. Not just robots patrolling or attacking to a certain extent. He wanted to enhance defenses and reduce casualties. He aimed to adapt to various harsh environments, urately locate enemy positions in vast snowy areas, or effectively guard against and identify any dangerous actions in time to stop them. Many intelligent technologies have been applied to the border now, but they still need to be more advanced. The Easton Group was working on advancement, continuous innovation, and strengthening. Kevin rk could not go to the border to rece Edward North. Because his parents had already lost Edward. He couldnt go to the border and let his parents worry every day. So he chose a different approach. He chose another way to protect what Edward North had been guarding. And it seemed like he hadpletely separated himself from the rk Family. In this way whatever he did, it had nothing to do with the rk Family. Daisy Tom Wayne held Daisy Zanes hand and felt a thin callus on her fingers, which should be formed from frequently holding a gun. She looked at Daisy and said, I didnt mean anything by telling you all this. I just want to say Im not sure what you and Kevin are doing. But I just want you two to be safe. Nothing is more important than your lives. Daisy Zane looked at her. Promise me, no matter when, you and Kevin must put your own safety first, okay? Tom Wayne said. Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment and finally said, Okay. Chapter 409 - 361: Are you feeling heartache for me? Chapter 409: Chapter 361: Are you feeling heartache for me? Trantor: 549690339 In the afternoon, Natalie Wayne and Calvin Stewart took Daisy Zane on a tour of many ces in rk Manor. Herbal Pharmacy, Rehearsal Room, Stage And some the flowers and nts that Natalie took care of. Throughout the courtyard, one could almost feel the consideration and affection Elina rk had for Natalie Wayne everywhere. Kevin rk found his way from his courtyard, but then was sent away after just two sentences by his mother. He saw Daisy getting along well with them so he went back to deal with some matters. In the evening, after dinner, the family sat and chatted in the living room for a while. But half an hourter, the housekeeper said the Maxwell family had arrived. Everyone turned their eyes to Kevin rk. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow: Why are you looking at me? They are here to visit you all. Elina rk red at him. Look, this rebellious child. Hes putting his parents in front of him when there is trouble. Theo rk said, They probably know you are in rk Manor. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zane and then patted Charles Amos on the head: Charles is sleepy, we have to sleep now. Daisy Zane: Hugo rk nced at the clock. It was not even 8 oclock yet. Charles Amos looked up at him: Am I sleepy? Kevin rk: You are sleepy. Oh. Elina rk: Kevin rk smiled and stood up, holding Daisys hand: Mom and Dad. Big Brother and Sister-inw, were going to rest. No one paid attention to him. Kevin rk led Daisy Zane outside and said to Charles Amos: Follow us. Charles Amos: Doesnt he even get the treatment of holding hands? Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle, Aunt. Brother, Sister. Im going to sleep. Charles Amos finished and trotted to catch up with them. Kevin rk was holding antern for illumination. Charles Amos followed behind them, holding a smallntern. The small figure seemed lonely and pitiful. After a while, Daisy Zane said: You just dumped that mess on them. They can handle it. Kevin rk said, Want to see me? Its not that easy. Daisy Zaneughed. Kevin rk also raised the corner of his mouth. He felt that the little girl was in a good mood every time she came to rk Manor. She really liked it here. Have you forgotten that Im still behind you? Charles Amos muttered quietly. Is there someone behind? Daisy Zane turned around and looked back, I cant see anyone, too short. Charles Amos: Kevin rk chuckled softly. Charles Amos walked a few steps quickly, squeezed between them and walked in front: Im angry! No one paid attention to him. Charles Amos walked a few steps and stopped, turning his head to look at them. As the two walked slowly, Daisy Zane said, I heard you, youre angry. Charles Amoss little face was about to turn into a pufferfish: Wont you coax me? I dont have time. Daisy Zane said indifferently. What are you doing that you dont have time? Charles Amoss head tilted higher and higher as they got closer. Im in a rtionship Daisy Zane said seriously, confidently, and calmly, Im very busy. Charles Amos: Kevin rkughed softly. Then Charles Amos watched as the two of them, as if not seeing him at all, walked past him and left him behind. Charles Amos stared wide-eyed. Look, look at this. After using him, bringing him out, they dont care about him anymore. Catch up. Daisy Zane said after walking a few steps. Charles Amos looked at the two figures, paused for a second, and immediately trotted to catch up. After returning to the courtyard, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane sat for a while and then went to the study to deal with things. Daisy Zane wrote a script for a while, and Charles Amos also did some homework next to her. It wasnt until after ten oclock that she carried the sleeping Charles Amos back to his room. She took off his outer clothes and wiped his face and hands. Then pinched his little face. Charles Amos was growing fast, taller, and his facial features were gradually unfolding. Daisy Zane suddenly noticed that he seemed to resemble Kevin rk. She never thought he looked like Kevin rk when Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper said so. But now, she didnt know if it was because she had spent more time with Kevin rk. It just felt a bit like him. After returning from Charles Amoss room, Daisy Zane went to take a shower. After the shower, she put on her sleeping robe and went out. Just as she opened the door, she saw Kevin rk, who had also just returned to his room. Kevin rk stopped in his tracks, and his eyes unconsciously looked down at her silk red sleeping robe before looking at her half-wet hair. Daisy Zane looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, Are you done with your work? Yeah. I brought you How about trying the bathroom tonight? Daisy Zane leaned against the door frame and raised an eyebrow. Kevin rks eyes visibly widened a little, and he seemed taken aback. The words Ill dry your hair got stuck in his throat. Daisy Zane especially enjoyed seeing the usually calm andposed Third Master rk show expressions of surprise and astonishment. She smiled happily, straightened up, and walked towards the bedroom. However, as soon as she stepped out, Kevin rk swept her into the bathroom like a gust of wind and kicked the door closed Twoyers of bath towels were spread on the washbasin, and Daisy Zane was lifted from under the shower to the washbasin. The red sleeping robe on her body was already damp, clinging to her body, revealing her figure. The wet red color and fair skin created a strong visual contrast. Kevin rk initially wanted to help her take it off, but Daisy didnt let him. Worried about her catching a cold, he turned up the temperature in the bathroom. Daisy Zanes forehead was leaning against his shoulder, and the corners of her mouth couldnt help but let out some whimpers. The heavy breathing of Kevin rk brushed against her ear, and he whispered, What did my mom say to you this afternoon? Daisy Zane bit her lip and didnt say a word. Kevin rk guessed what his mother might have said to her. He kissed her ear and couldnt help but hold her tighter, saying softly, Do you feel bad for me? Daisy Zane still didnt speak, but with Kevin rks movement, she let out a soft hum. Kevin rk chuckled softly, then held her face with one hand, made her raise her head, and kissed her When the kiss was over, tears filled Daisy Zanes eyes as she opened them. Sexy and enchanting, yet heartbreaking. Kevin rk swallowed and took a deep breath, smiling, Why are you crying? Does it hurt? Daisy Zane ignored him. If its not pain, then its Can you shut up? Daisy Zane said. Alright. Kevin rk replied, and then kissed her again. Chapter 410 - 362: The Maxwell Family Still Came Chapter 410: Chapter 362: The Maxwell Family Still Came Trantor: 549690339 Daisy Zane stayed at rk Manor for two nights. Kevin rk went to Ryan Easton one day, the next day. Daisy Zane, besides being with Tom Wayne and Calvin Stewart at the rk Manor, alsopleted more than half of the script. The Maxwell Family came the first night without seeing Kevin rk. They came again the next day, but Kevin rk was not at home, so they didnt stay long. On the third day, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane returned to the Rose Garden. As soon as they arrived at the Rose Garden, less than an hourter, the Maxwells arrived. Both of them were in the study room, Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk said, Ill go down and see. Daisy Zane nodded in agreement and continued to finish the script. Kevin rk went downstairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell were already seated in the living room on the ground floor. The servant had also made tea for them. Kevin rk went downstairs, and Julian Maxwell and his wife quickly stood up: Kevin. Kevin rk walked to the sofa: Please, have a seat. After saying that, he sat down, and Julian Maxwell and his wife sat down too. Kevin, sorry to trouble you by suddenlying over, Julian Maxwell said. Mrs. Maxwell smiled politely on the side. Although her smile was polite, it couldnt hide the tiredness in Mrs. Maxwells eyes. Kevin rk took a sip of tea. When his face was not smiling, he carried an oppressive feeling: Mr. Maxwell, please, just say it. Julian Maxwells smile froze for a moment, and then he said, Kevin, as you should have guessed, we came here for ra Mitchells sake. Mrs. Maxwell nodded on the side. Julian Maxwell continued: I know, ra did something wrong. If she did something wrong, she should be punished, but isnt this too heavy? Is it really that heavy? Kevin rk asked softly, I think its too light. Julian Maxwell licked his dry lips: Kevin, ra did do something wrong. But considering the friendship between our two families, and her growing up with you, couldnt you let her off? Besides The situation with Lady Zane has been cleared up, and this incident didnt cause her any loss Kevin rk ced the teacup on the tea table, making a soft noise. Julian Maxwell immediately stopped talking, and Mrs. Maxwell held her breath. Kevin rk looked up at Julian Maxwell, his eyes narrow and cold. He said, The fact that there was no loss is the result of my wifes timely handling. What does it have to do with ra Mitchell? She caused trouble for us, and in the end, there was no loss. Am I supposed to thank her? Kevin, I didnt mean Kevin rk interrupted him: The friendship between the rk and Maxwell families is between my brother and your family; dont bring me into it. Besides I didnt grow up with her. I dont even remember her ying any part during my upbringing. Dont project your imagination onto me. The door to the study room was cracked open by Daisy Zane. She could hear the conversation in the living room upstairs. She was writing something while listening to Kevin rks words and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Julian Maxwell didnt expect Kevin rk to leave him with no face at all. Although they were on equal footing, he was still much older than Kevin, but he showed no respect at all. Kevin, thats not what I meant. Then what do you mean? Kevin rk said, Isnt the point of all this that you want me to spare ra? Let me give you an answer: Please, the two of you, go back, and stop wasting your breath. Kevin, is it necessary to be so absolute about this? Julian Maxwells tone changed slightly. ra did make a mistake, and it did cause a loss of reputation for your wife. But things have been rified, and your wife hasnt suffered any harm. Even if the matter hadnt been rified, there was no need to arrest ra and keep her from seeing anyone. Kevin rk rubbed the eaglewood bracelet on his hand: If things hadnt been rified, the Maxwell family would be preparing ras funeral today. Mrs. Maxwell took a sharp breath. Julian Maxwell said, Kevin rk! Kevin rkughed softly and looked at Julian Maxwell, saying, My wife, I usually dont even dare to raise my voice to her. Just because of your daughters lies. More than 30,000 people abused and insulted her online that day. What right do you have to gloss over the matter and pass it off in a few words? Seeing that there was not even a hint of Kevin rk relenting, Julian Maxwell was both angry and anxious, his chest heaving. After a while, he said, Kevin rk, you cant be so absolute about things. ra has honored your parents as if they were her own. What? You want to dispose of her now that shes served her purpose? You, as a son, think about whether or not youve been as diligent in going to the rk Manor as ra has. Did I ask her to go? Do my parents need her to honor them? Kevin rk said indifferently. If it hadnt been for my mother saving her life when she was young and treating her like a half-apprentice, do you think she could have stepped through the front door of rk Manor? Kevin rk, are you determined to break with the Maxwell Family? Julian Maxwells face turned red with anger. He thought that with the friendship between their two families, he had personallye to plead, Kevin rk would certainly give him some face. Who would have thought All these years everyone knows how you Maxwells relied on the rk Family to elevate your position in the Imperial Capital, Kevin rk said. Others respect you because you have the rk Family behind you. What? Got used to being ttered and dont know your own weight? Break with you? Is the Maxwell Family worthy? Julian Maxwell abruptly stood up, pointing at Kevin rk, You, you Kevin rk ignored him. Julian Maxwell took a couple of heavy breaths, then hesitated and said, Kevin rk, do you think you can convict ra Mitchell for these little things and imprison her? Even if you have the ability, do you dare to do so? Can you avoid implicating your big brother even if you break with the rk Family? Julian Maxwell saw that he was being unreasonable and decided to go harder. If Kevin rk dared to use his power to get ra Mitchell imprisoned, then he would drag Theo rk down too. Kevin rkughed lightly, with a contemptuous tone, Little things? Mr. Maxwell, dont you think ra Mitchell hasnt done anything else? Julian Maxwells body suddenly shook. Mrs. Maxwell quickly supported him. Please leave, both of you. After saying this, Kevin rk stood up, didnt even look at them, and turned to go upstairs. Julian Maxwell stared nkly at Kevin rks retreating figure. When he reached the staircase, Mrs. Maxwell suddenly shouted, Third Master rk, are you really going to put ra Mitchell to death? She likes you so much! She has liked you for so many years. She went this way because she likes you too much. Can you spare her once for her love all these years? Mrs. Maxwell suddenly sobbed, Third Master rk, please spare her. From now on, the Maxwell Family will be at your disposal. An extra helper is always better than an extra opponent. Kevin rk stopped and, without looking back, said softly, Opponent? You can try to see what the Maxwell Family can do to me. Third Master didnt even consider the Maxwell Family worth his attention. Stay quiet, and maybe the Maxwell Family can survive. After saying these words, Kevin rk went upstairs. The Maxwell couple stood in the living room for a while before being shown out. Study Room Just as Kevin rk was about to open the door, he saw a crack at the top. He raised his eyebrows, pushed the door open, and entered the study room. Daisy Zane was still sitting on the sofa with theputer, writing a script. She didnt even look up when she heard hime in. Kevin rk approached and sat down on the sofa, embracing her from behind, Little Girl, you eavesdropped. Isnt that allowed? It is, Kevin rks head nuzzled her neck, anything is allowed. Daisy Zane nced at him, hooked the corner of her mouth. He was just downstairs wishing to kill someone, and now he was being this gentle. Little Girl, are you busy recently? Kevin rk suddenly asked. Not bad, whats up? I want to take you to Mountain Sea Continent for a few days, Kevin rk kissed her on the neck. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. She was nning to pick a time to go back to the Mountain Sea Continent soon. It had been too long since she had been back, and she had some free time recently. There is a training selection, you should be interested, Kevin rk said. He admitted that he had a selfish motive. He didnt want to be apart from the little girl for too long. Half a month was a bit too long. After thinking about it, it was better to take her with him. Alright, lets go and check it out. Okay, Kevin rk smiled and agreed. Chapter 411 - 363: Seeing Bonnie Maxwell Chapter 411: Chapter 363: Seeing Bonnie Maxwell Trantor: 549690339 The Maxwell couple came in the morning, and Daisy Zane went to the police station in the afternoon to see Bonnie Maxwell. During the days Bonnie Maxwell was detained, the Maxwell family made several visits, sought help from many people, pulled many strings, but no one was able to see her. When Daisy Zane saw her, Bonnie Maxwell seemed to be in good shape. Even better than when she was taken away. What are you doing here? Are you here to ridicule me? Bonnie Maxwell said, Is everything cleared up? Do you have any ways to clear things up? Looking at her, Daisy Zane spoke calmly, You have forgotten. You still dont know what has happened outside. Bonnie Maxwell red at her fiercely. Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and scrolled through some messages. She tossed her cell phone to Bonnie, They got him, thats an official statement from the police. The entire process, the people involved, the final oue, as well as various pieces of evidence. Because the evidence was abundant, they were quick to take action. Bonnie Maxwell looked over the evidence released by the police. And also searched for video evidence recorded by the media on the day of the press conference ording to the trending searches. After a while, she said, Youve installed surveince cameras in Cold Green Vige! Daisy Zane did not respond. Bonnie Maxwell looked at the cell phone for a while and then scoffed, Daisy Zane, did youe here today to tell me that you cleared things up? What good does clearing things up do? What can you do to me even if you managed to clear up the matter? How many days can you have me detained for this? Seven days? Fifteen days? What if I have more than just this one case on hand? Daisy Zane asked. Bonnie Maxwell narrowed her eyes and smirked, Tell me, what else do you have? There are traces of a particr drug in Jeremy Wheeler. Its a slow-acting poison that you purchased. Daisy Zane said mildly. And so what? Bonnie Maxwellughed even more triumphantly, she had thought through everything in these past few days. Every action she took, even if it could be linked back to her, none of it could be used to convict her domestically, how can you prove that the drug in Jeremy Wheelers system is the same one I bought? What if the ingredients are the same? You cant prove it was mine. Daisy Zane said nothing and just looked at her. The purchase evidence is useless domestically. Bonnie Maxwell said, The transaction proof from Mountain Sea Continent is invalid domestically. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow. Nathan Ninevara. You must have found out quite a few things, and not just the purchase proof. Bonnie Maxwells expression gradually twisted, But what a pity, theyre all useless. Everything I did, I did on the Mountain Sea Continent. Indeed, the domesticw cannot persecute crimesmitted on the Mountain Sea Continent. Right. Unless you have an arrest warrant from the Mountain Sea Continent. Bonnie Maxwellughed, Even the rk Family and the Lane Family might not be able to secure an arrest warrant from the Mountain Sea Continent. So at most, Ill be released in fifteen days. Daisy Zane smiled, You belong to a certain alliance on the Mountain Sea Continent, right? If you dare, try to dig it up. Mountain Sparrow Daisy Zane said, Ive never even heard of this small alliance. That just proves how ignorant you are. Do you know what it means to be able to hold your ground on the Mountain Sea Continent? The smile on Bonnie Maxwells face was getting wilder and wilder. As if she was about to be released the next moment. It means that, even the rk Family and the Lane Family, wouldnt dare to touch me casually. Bonnie Maxwell said. Daisy Zane raised an eyebrow, took a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, then held it up for Bonnie Maxwell to see. One moment Bonnie Maxwell was stillughing, the next, her smile was frozen. What Daisy Zane was holding was an arrest warrant. An arrest warrant from the Mountain Sea Continent. The issuer was an English name. Bonnie Maxwell looked at the arrest warrant in horror, and after a while, she reached out to take it. Daisy Zane withdrew her hand, ced the arrest warrant on the table, and slowly said, Someone will being to get you tonight. Bonnie Maxwell stared at the arrest warrant, her eyes gradually bing dull. She could feel the blood in her body growing cold rapidly. All of a sudden, her mind seemed to empty out. The only thing that could console her and make her feel a bit better was the thought that this arrest warrant was fake, that it was just a trick to scare her. So, she shouted, Its fake, its fake! Daisy Zane ignored her hysterics, continuing, Everything has been arranged on the Mountain Sea Continent side. Your ter life there will be very fortable. You have killed so many andmitted so many crimes there, just to establish yourself there. Its about time you repent for your sins during this time. Daisy Zane admitted that she was harsh. Bonnie Maxwell was different from Amelia Miles; she didnt have a face that would make her wax nostalgic. Plus, she had crossed Daisy Zane and Charles Amos, her bottom lines. She wouldnt let her off the hook. And also this was her own doing. The light in Bonnie Maxwells wide-opened eyes gradually faded, her voice stiffened, I dont believe it, I dont believe it. Its fake, fake. How could you have an arrest warrant from Mountain Sea Continent, how could you! Impossible, impossible. Daisy Zane stood up, put the arrest warrant away, took back her cell phone, and looked down at Bonnie, If I permit it, you can establish yourselves on the Mountain Sea Continent. If I dont permit it you wont even survive 24 hours. Having said that, Daisy Zane left. Bonnie Maxwell stared nkly at Daisy Zanes retreating figure. After a few seconds, she suddenly struggled and shouted, Daisy Zane! Daisy Zane! Who are you! Let me out! Let me out! Who are you! Today, Kevin rk didnt apany her; instead, he went to the research institute. But just fifteen minutes after Daisy Zane left the police station, he received a message. Bonnie Maxwell would be sent to the Mountain Sea Continent overnight. She has an arrest warrant? Kevin rk eximed. Michael Jackson received this news from the police station, Yes. It was signed by a foreign man. I dont know who. Kevin rk lifted an eyebrow. She had her power on the Mountain Sea Continent, and since she could get an arrest warrant, her influence shouldnt be small. Michael Jackson said, Master rk, we dont need the arrest warrant we issued. Hmm, Kevin rk said, Keep an eye on the Maxwell Family tonight. Roger that. That evening Daisy Zane received a call from Holt Lawrence. Nana The Maxwell Family really did send people to rescue Bonnie Maxwell. Holt Lawrence said, But they didnt end up fighting our people. Hmm? The Maxwell Family and your Third Masters people confronted each other. Then they slinked off dispiritingly. Daisy Zane: Chapter 412: 364: Going to Mountain Sea Continent Chapter 412: Chapter 364: Going to Mountain Sea Continent
Trantor:549690339 One weekter, Arthur North took Daisy Zane to the Mountain Sea Continent. Apanying them were Michael Jackson and Allonzo Hobson. Outside the Airport, more than a dozen cars were waiting to pick them up. But Daisy Zane only recognized one person. Thomas Firway, whom she hadnt seen for a long time. After seeing her, Thomas Firways excited expression instantly dimmed.
As if harboring a grudge. On the contrary, Daisy Zane looked amused by his sudden change of face, raising an eyebrow with a smile. Third Master. Young Master Hobson. Thomas Firway called out in unison with the person beside him. Then, Thomas Firway nced at Daisy Zane, pursed his lips, and sullenly lowered his head without speaking. The person next to him courteously nodded at Daisy Zane. Arthur North nced at Thomas Firway but ignored him. Instead, he introduced Daisy Zane to the person: James Cooper, he usually stays around the Mountain Sea Continent. Lady Zane, nice to meet you. Daisy Zane nodded to him. They got in the car. Allonzo Hobson was in the same car with them, and James Cooper was the driver. Thomas Firway originally wanted to drive the car, but he was only nced briefly at by Arthur North. Michael Jackson quickly pulled Thomas Firway to another car. After a journey of more than an hour, the car drove into a Manor House. The whole decoration of the Manor House was somewhat dark, with an ancient, mysterious, and evil ambiance.
It was vast in size, toorge to estimate visually. In the center of the estate, there was a banner. On it, a dark sun. The g of Dark Radiance. Dark Radiance one of the two dominant powers in the Mountain Sea Continent. Daisy Zane had been sleeping on the way, and her eyes still had some lingering sleepiness. She looked at the g of Dark Radiance, her eyes unreadable and obscure. After a moment, she said, I seem to have fought against Dark Radiances people. James Coopers entire impression of their Big Bosss wife came from Thomas Firways description. But Thomas Firway to this day, nobody had told him about Daisy Zanes real strength. Everyone was tacitly and deliberately keeping him in the dark. Even Michael Jackson hadnt mentioned it.
So when James Cooper heard this, he instinctively nced at her from the rearview mirror, surprise evident in his eyes. Arthur North chuckled and said, Well, Tonights goods belong to you, making up for the medical expenses. In Truro City, the Darknight Alliance and Dark Radiancepeted for those goods. The Darknight Alliance failed, and Robinson Scott was injured. So Daisy Zane went to take revenge in person. Her moves were quite heavy. Arthur Norths words were the message she left on those goods at the time. She was acting under the Darknight Alliances banner, using the alias Nameless. So during that time on D Continent, Arthur North and the others found out that she was the one who beat people up in Truro City. Allonzo Hobson, of course, also knew it, so heughed along. Daisy Zane looked at him and then recalled, It seems I broke someones ribs. Thomas Firway, Arthur North replied. Daisy Zane:
At the time, everyone was disguised so well that nobody knew who the others were. Daisy, you and Arthur, how many times now have you only gotten acquainted through fighting? Allonzo Hobson said with augh. Daisy Zane looked at his amused expression and paused for a moment before saying, That night, Robinson Scott was injured, so I went to take revenge for her. Allonzo Hobsons smile froze as he turned to look at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at him: She has a long scar on her left arm; havent you seen it? Allonzo Hobson furrowed his brows. He knew that Robinson Scott had been applying scar ointment and the scar had faded a lot. Kevin rkughed. What a vengeful little girl. Daisy Zane looked at Allonzo Hobsons face, and began to sow discord again: Robinson Scott has a good skill, but I dont know who hurt him. Even thinking with your toes, you would know it was Thomas Firway. Allonzo Hobsons face looked a bit terrifying. But James Cooper thought that Daisy Zane seemed even more terrifying, and he swallowed hard.
The car stopped just in time, and Kevin rk got out of the car to open the door for Daisy Zane. Seeing this, James Cooper hurriedly got out of the car and stood aside. Daisy Zane got out of the car in a good mood. Only Allonzo Hobson stayed in the car for a while, then went to find Thomas Firway, sarcastically taunting him. After getting out of the car, Kevin rk first took Daisy Zane to their living quarters. Tired? When they arrived in the room, Kevin rk asked. Daisy Zane shook her head. Want a tour? Kevin rk poured her a ss of water. Daisy Zane took it, drank a few sips: When does the training selection begin? Three dayster. Kevin rk pecked her cheek, They have all been selected over the past two months. Martial Arts Arenapetition in three days, some people will be eliminated again. It should be quite exciting. What if its not exciting? Daisy Zane asked. Not exciting Kevin rkughed, Ill go down to the field myself, until the madam feels its exciting enough.
Daisy Zane smiled. With Kevin rks skills, it would be hard to select anyone from Dark Radiance: What about after that? After that, its not only about the Mountain Sea Continent, Thomas Firway will mainly take charge. Kevin rk said, Im just here to preside and handle some things. Daisy Zane nodded, drank another sip of water, and put it aside. Shall we go for a tour? Kevin rk took the ss and finished the remaining water. Daisy Zane nced at him: Mhm. The manor house was toorge, half of the area was upied by the Martial Arts Arena. The Martial Arts Arena was so vast that it was hard to see the end. There were indoor and outdoor areas. Kevin rk took Daisy Zane for a stroll outside while she watched the training below. Michael Jackson, Thomas Firway, James Cooper, and several others were all following behind. Without even looking back, Daisy Zane discerned their tension and even fear. Who they were afraid of was obvious. Whether it was because of this ce or the influence of emotions, even Michael Jackson, who had be less nervous around Daisy Zane after her arrival, began to be tense and rigid. Are you getting sunburned? Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zanes slightly reflective skin, Michael Jackson, go get an umbre. Yes. Michael Jacksons voice trembled. No need, absorbing calcium. Daisy Zane said indifferently. Kevin rk smiled and asked softly, Arent you afraid of getting tanned? Daisy Zane looked at him, her expression unchanged, but Kevin rk still understood her meaning, and immediately said, Im not afraid of getting tanned. He was a grown man Daisy Zaneughed, and looked down again. Seeing herugh, Kevin rk also smiled and pulled her closer to block some of the sunlight for her. Michael Jackson remained still in his ce. As he didnt move, the others stared at him in shock. They didnt dare to speak up and could only remind him with their eyes: What are you doing? Why arent you moving? Third Master told you to get an umbre! Get an umbre! Get an umbre! Michael Jackson, flustered by their anxious nces, blinked and said: Lady Zane said, no need! Others: Whose words are you listening to?! Dont you want to live anymore?! How dare you defy the Third Masters orders?! Michael Jackson paused, his face mysteriously shaking his head, turning himself into a man detached from the mundane world. Others: ????? Has this man been scared out of his wits? Chapter 413: 365: The Beauty Trap Chapter 413: Chapter 365: The Beauty Trap
Trantor:549690339 So youre Daisy Zane. As Kevin rk went to handle some matters, Daisy Zane stayed and watched the martial arts arena by herself for a while. Hearing a voice, she turned and saw a girl standing not far behind her. Wearing a ck, sleek and neat fighter suit, a high ponytail tied up, she had a tall figure and delicate facial features. However, her eyes were staring straight at Daisy, not appearing to be friendly. Miss Santiago, this is Mrs. rk, James reminded from the side.
The girl surnamed Santiago didnt seem to care about James words and instead tilted her chin and said, Im talking to you. Daisy squinted her eyes but didnt say anything. Michael Jackson quickly whispered to Daisy, She is Third Masters old friends daughter. Her name is Siera Santiago and has always been on the Mountain Sea Continent. Daisy looked at the girls eyes for a moment, then said, The daughter of an old friend, Arthur North Shes just a friend. Third Master and her had nothing. Michael hurriedly said. Daisy nced at him. Michael Jackson realized what he had just said and immediately shut up, swallowing hard. Hey, Im talking to you! Did you not hear me? Siera crossed her arms, staring at Daisy. I did, so what? Daisy replied indifferently. Siera looked Daisy over, scoffing, Just this, thin arms and thin legs, a mere embroidery pillow. How can you be Third Masters wife? James: Michael Jackson touched his eyebrows. If she was an embroidery pillow, what were they? Trash?
What can you do to make everyone convinced? Siera asked. To be the mistress of Dark Radiance, one must be worthy of the two words Dark Radiance. What can you do? Besides being good-looking and being able to act, what else can you do? You go tell Arthur North, Daisy took two steps towards her, looking at her and said, Tell him Im not worthy of him. After saying that, Daisy began to walk away. As she passed by Siera, Daisy bumped into her shoulder, pushing her to stumble sideways. Michael Jacksons heart sank, and his face paled a few shades, quickly catching up to Daisy. Siera was taken aback by the bump, and immediately yelled, What are you doing? Bumping into me? James said, Miss Santiago, thats Third Masters wife, why speak so harshly? I did it on purpose. I hate those women who use their beauty to seduce men and enjoy wealth and luxury. Siera replied, Third Master even brought her here. This is Dark Radiance, not a ce for her to bewitch. James: be careful, or Third Master might get angry with you. Am I stupid? I wont be caught by him. Siera muttered, Its his fault for being bewitched by lust. Ill scold his wife, and he deserves it. James raised his eyebrows, I heard Third Master talking with Young Master Hobson, and Lady Zane is very powerful. Even Thomas Firway lost to her. Siera sneered, How can that be? Thomas told me personally, she doesnt know anything, she just drags people down. If she had really defeated Thomas, he would have been following her like a puppy by now.
James wanted to say something, but before he could, Siera said first, This must be Third Master and Young Master Hobsons scheme to win peoples approval. Youre so gullible; you fell for it. James: Silly child. Siera finished, going towards the martial arts arena. After Daisy Zane left, she went to the indoor shooting range. There was no one inside, Daisy casually picked up a gun and started shooting continuously. Michael Jackson stood at the entrance, not daring to breathe and listening to the gunshots, his heartbeat getting faster with each shot. Arthur North returned in less than ten minutes. Having heard from people outside that they were at the shooting range, he directly went there. But after seeing Michael Jacksons nervous face outside the shooting range, he stopped and looked at him. Th-Third Master. What happened? James immediately lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
Miss Santiago came over. Michael Jackson said with his head lowered. Arthur Norths face darkened. Michael Jackson quickly ryed the whole story to him. As Arthur North listened to the gunshots from the shooting range, he said in a deep voice, Notify Siera Santiago and Thomas Firway. Underground Training Ground, Tenth checkpoint, ten times. Donte out if you dont finish. Michaels eyes widened in surprise, and even James stiffened, then hesitantly whispered, Third Master, the Tenth checkpoint three times is already Miss Santiagos limit. Arthur North looked at him. James immediately lowered his head further, not daring to say another word. Michael Jackson swallowed hard, Th-Third Master, Thomas He had iting with all his nonsense? Michael Jackson didnt say anything. Go notify them. After saying this, Arthur North entered the shooting range.
James and Michael exchanged nces, then left to notify them. From Jamess eyes, Michael saw his inner discontent, but out of obedience to Arthur Norths orders, he did not dare to argue. But Michael Jackson stood at the door, watching the sun outside, thinking: Third Master could resolve this matter so roughly and simply only because he had confidence that Lady Zane could win the approval of others. Third Master would never wrong his wife or his brothers who had gone through life and death with him. Otherwise, Third Master would not have brought his wife to such a ce. How could the person chosen by Third Master be ipetent? Third Master isnt lustful. As soon as Michael Jacksons thought reached this point, his brain stuttered. Whether its overlyscivious or not is hard to say. With Lady Zane looking like this he has reason to suspect that his Third Master has ulterior motives. Inside the shooting range. Kevin rk hugged Daisy Zane from behind and kissed her neck: Madam. Dont cozy up. Daisy Zane lowered her head and carefully loaded one bullet after another.
Ive already punished them. Kevin rk spoke softly, Its my responsibility for not keeping them in check. I let them talk too much. Daisy Zane finished loading and took out the bullets one by one. Then she pulled Kevin rk towards the martial arts field behind them. Kevin rks heart skipped a beat as he looked in that direction. Before he had a chance to say anything, Daisy Zane pushed him onto the podium. Daisy Zane followed him up. Little girl If you can beat me, I wont be mad. As soon as Daisy Zane finished speaking, she threw a punch. Kevin rk subconsciously dodged it. Just as he dodged the punch, Daisy Zane kicked him, and he could only block it with his arm. Although he managed to block it, he was caught off guard and lost focus. He stepped back a few times. He steadied himself and shook his arm, Madam, was that a bit too harsh? If you cant beat me, you wont have a wife. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, tied her sleeves, and said nonchntly. Kevin rks lips trembled a bit, but without thinking too much, Daisy Zane made her move again. Daisy Zane could feel that Kevin rk was very strong. Even though he hadnt used all his strength, she still had no chance of winning. The gap wasnt just a little. She knew her weaknesses when facing someone stronger than herself. So when attacking, she used her legs more. Using the strength of her legs to enhance her attacks. Daisy Zanes legs were powerful, and the wooden post at the edge of the podium was kicked and snapped by her in two hits. Kevin rk had fought with her back in D Continent and was naturally aware of her strength. However, he felt that she had be somewhat stronger. Her endurance was also astonishing. After more than twenty minutes, Daisy Zanes hand was caught. Kevin rk used his strength to twist her hand behind her back without hurting her and pressed her other hand in front of her. He stood behind her, as if his arm was wrapped around her in a circle. Daisy Zane struggled for a moment, but couldnt break free. She stopped and clicked her tongue softly: Still didnt win. Kevin rk chuckled and didnt let her go: Little girl, wasnt that a bit too much before we started fighting. Which one? Daisy Zane knowingly asked. The one about not having a wife if I cant beat you. Didnt you win? Daisy Zane countered. What if I didnt? Kevin rk said softly, Little girl, youve improved. If I didnt win Daisy Zane tilted her head to look at the sweat on Kevin rks face, sweat shining like a spotlight on a fairy, Wouldnt there be other titles beside wife? She could still be a wife, a partner Upon hearing her words, Kevin rkughed softly and after a while, he said: Do I get a reward for winning? Did you win? Yes. Right after his reply, Kevin rk heard Daisy Zane hiss and draw a cold breath. He thought he had hurt her, so he instinctively let go. And the next second, Daisy Zane made her move again. One arm was pressed against his neck, and the other hand took off her hairpin and pointed it at his neck. Kevin rk watched her hair fall apart as the beautiful face beneath was partly veiled by it. The once elegant and aloof coldness turned into distant coldness. He heard the little girls faintly triumphant tone in her cold voice: Did you win? I lost. Kevin rk tucked her loose hair behind her ear, stroking her face with a touch of indulgence, Cheating. Thirty-six tricks Daisy Zane took her hand back, put the hairpin in her pocket, and said softly, Seduction. Kevin rks smile deepened, his hand that had been touching her face, cupped the back of her head and gently pulled her forward: Madam used a beauty trick, I should have some sort of response, right? After saying that, Kevin rk lowered his head and kissed her lips. When the two of them went out again, Michael Jackson keenly sensed an ambiguous atmosphere surrounding them. And What did they do to be so sweaty? The shooting ranges soundproofing was good, and only distant gunshots could be heard. Michael Jackson only heard gunshots outside and then there was silence. Afterward, the two of them came out drenched in sweat. Two wood posts on thebat tform have been snapped. Let someone rece them. Kevin rk said. Michael Jacksons face contorted instantly. What??? How intense was their fight? What had happened? Did he miss a domestic violence scene? Chapter 414: 366: Martin Hanzel Chapter 414: Chapter 366: Martin Hanzel
Trantor:549690339 In the evening, after Daisy Zane fell asleep, Kevin rk got up and left the room. Daisy Zane sensed his departure, but her eyshes only trembled slightly without opening her eyes. She then pulled the quilt over herself and continued to sleep. Kevin rk went to the study room on the second floor downstairs. There was someone waiting for him in the study. Two men, dressed in ck clothes and wearing masks, lowered their heads and greeted him after he entered the study, calling him Big Boss..
Kevin rk lightly acknowledged, then sat down on the chair behind the desk. The two men also removed their masks. They looked very simr, being twin brothers. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon. Have you heard anything from Martin Hanzel? Kevin rk asked. The two brothers shook their heads together. A moment of fierceness shed across Kevin rks eyes, then he remained silent for a while before speaking again. In M Continent, he had once spent a year cultivating four assassins. Later, they were given names: Martin Hanzel, Harrison Theodore, Yoshua Archer, and Edward Darkmoon. At the time, there were hundreds of people participating in the training, but only these four were left in the end. Hugo rk participated too. However, in order to preserve the rk family, Kevin rk asked Hugo to withdraw halfway through the training, which was a testament to the cruelty of the training. Aside from him, Thomas Firway also participated and became Harrison Theodore.
Like the other hundred people, their entire bodies were covered, not a single inch of skin exposed, and it was impossible to know who was who. Kevin rk was the same, even using a disguised voice. For a year, as people around him dwindled, nobody knew who the person beside them was or what they looked like. Even at the beginning, everyone only had identification numbers. It was only after cultivating these four assassins for a year that Martin Hanzel faked his death and left. As Dark Radiance becamepletely stable under Edward Darkmoons watch, Thomas Firway took over all matters rted to it. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon, the two brothers, were very down-to-earth and showed no disloyalty. So Kevin rk allowed them toe to the Mountain Sea Continent and revealed his identity as their Big Boss, showing them his true face. From then on, they would also drop their disguises in front of Kevin rk. However, Thomas Firway had not seen their full appearances yet. Every time he saw them, he identified them by their attire and eyes. Thomas Firway, being carefree, often unted his true appearance when not on a special mission. Is it possible that Martin Hanzel really died? Yoshua Archer asked. Kevin rk raised his left eyebrow slightly: With his cunning mind, he wouldnt let himself die so easily.
Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon remained silent. They had spent a year together and had personally witnessed Martin Hanzels skills and abilities, which were beyond anything they themselves could achieve. Even back then, Martin Hanzel had once injured their Big Boss. So if Martin Hanzel was determined to leave, he would ensure that no one could find him easily. How are things in M Continent? Kevin rk asked. All has been taken care of, Edward Darkmoon replied. Hmm. After Kevin rk responded, he discussed some other matters with them. They talked for over two hours. Meanwhile, in her room, Daisy Zane was sleeping soundly at first but gradually broke out in a light sweat. She turned over, found a slightly morefortable position, and continued to sleep. But as soon as she fell asleep, she heard the howling of a wolf. At the first howl, she thought she was dreaming in a daze.
It was the second howl that sounded very real. Daisy Zane lifted the quilt and opened her eyes. She looked at the pitch-dark night, waited for a while, and heard it again. She turned on the light by her bed, got up, and nned to go to the window to take a look. However, after taking just two steps towards the window, she changed direction and headed for the restroom. Her period had arrived She came out of the restroom, put on a coat, and left the room. The room was on the third floor, and the staircase entrance was directly opposite the living room entrance on the first floor. As Daisy Zane reached the staircase and was about to go downstairs, she happened to see two shadows leaving the living room entrance. She was suddenly taken aback and stopped in her tracks. The two figures left quickly, almost vanishing the moment Daisy saw them. But the sight still made her heart skip a beat. Little girl, whats wrong? Kevin rk saw her pale face from the second floor and immediately walked upstairs.
Daisy Zane looked away and turned to Kevin, speaking softly, Nothing, its just my period. Does your stomach hurt? Kevin couldnt tell if her stomach hurt or not, besides her pale face. She was too calm. Yes, Daisy said, Im a bit thirsty, and I dont have any pads. I have some in my suitcase. Kevin picked her up without hesitation and walked towards the bedroom. Ill get you some water first. Go back to your room. Daisy Zane: Im not immobile, I could even fight you. I wont fight. Kevin refused. Go back to your room first. Carrying Daisy back to the room, Kevin brought over a small suitcase and ced it by the bed. He took out a medicine packet from inside, then leaned down to kiss Daisy before leaving the room. Daisy Zane looked at the contents of the suitcase and smiled gently. Everything was well-prepared. She had forgotten about this, but Kevin had thought of everything. He had even prepared several medicine packets and heat patches to help ease her stomach pain. Kevin went down to the first floor, where James Cooper and two others happened to be.
Seeing hime downstairs, everyone stood up: Third Master. Mm, Kevin acknowledged, then walked straight towards the kitchen. James watched him head for the kitchen and exchanged nces with the other two before following Kevin. Third Master, what do you need? Let me do it. Im going to cook something, Kevin said. I, Ill call someone. Another person was about to call the cook after he spoke. But Kevin stopped him, No need. Ill do it myself. The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the other two people behind him. The other two were also looking at him. The three of them looked at each other and then at Kevin, as if they were all checking to see if their Third Master hade downstairs. Or perhaps it was toote, and they were dreaming. Driven by curiosity, James suddenly grew bolder and stood at the kitchen door, watching Kevin, Thir-, Third Master, can you cook too? Kevin nced over. His expression was calm and devoid of any extra emotion. Even because he was thinking of Daisy Zane, his eyes were somewhat gentle. However, the three people outside the door still retreated two meters the moment he looked at them. Kevin looked at them and spoke softly after a moment: Havent you eaten the snake soup, grilled fish, boiled mice, and fried insects Ive cooked before? The three of them looked at him, trying to recall those dishes, and none of them spoke for a while. Kevin didnt bother with them further, first boiling some hot water. Then he cooked some brown sugar water and put the medicine packet he had retrieved into it. The three men outside the door remained standing there. After a while, one of them spoke up, I have eaten all those dishes. James nodded and said, But Im sure it was raw. The other two nodded in unison.

Trantor:549690339 Kevin rk first brought the boiled water to Daisy Zane and had her take a couple of sips. Five minutester, he brought up a medicine packet boiled in brown sugar water. What is this? Brown sugar water, Kevin replied. Is it really? Daisy Zane looked at the color in the bowl.
The dregs had been filtered out, but the color did not look like brown sugar water. Kevin scooped up some with a spoon, blew on it, and brought it to Daisy Zanes lips: Give it a taste. Daisy Zane looked into his sincere eyes and took a sip. The next second, her expression turned cold: It was not sweet or bitter, but it had some indescribable taste I have reasonable suspicion youre nning to murder me, Daisy Zane said calmly. Kevinughed: Just drink a little, it will make you feel morefortable. Lets wait for a while, its a bit hot, Daisy Zane said. Alright. Kevin put the bowl on the bedside table and rummaged through the items in the suitcase, Do you need painkillers? No need, Im fine. Ive changed the herbal medicine inside the heat pads; they should work better than before, Kevin said. Hmm. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin, paused, and said, Kevin rk, I heard wolves howling.
Kevin squatted on the ground and looked up at her: There are wolves in the manor. Did they bother you? Daisy Zane shook her head. Do you want to see them? Can I? Yes, Kevin said, but youll have to wait a few days. They just took them out tonight. Okay. After a while, the medicine cooled down. Daisy Zane picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go. Afterward, she drank a couple more sips of water andy down on the bed. Kevin got into the bed too, affixed the heat pads on her body, andy down, hugging her from behind. He slowly massaged her stomach: Sleep now. If it hurts, just call me. Mhm. The next day, Daisy Zane woke up unusually early. But she did not go downstairs.
Kevin brought her breakfast and lunch. She spent the morning upstairs writing a script. During this half-day, the whole Dark Radiance was spreading the news. Third Master was waiting on someone C the woman he brought. Someone dared to have their Third Master wait on them and even dared to make such demands. Those who saw Daisy Zane, as well as those who hadnt, were all astonished. How could their revered Third Master, their Big Boss, be waiting on someone? What was his hand for? It was supposed to do great things, not wait on someone, not even his wife. This woman was something else, managing to tame their Big Boss. Even more astonishing, she dared to have the Big Boss wait on her. What nerve! Even a bears heart or a leopards gall would not dare to be that bold. Daisy Zane was just writing a script in her room, so the writing went smoothly, but she didnt want to be interrupted. In the evening, Daisy Zane went downstairs to have dinner.
Today, there were two more people at the dinner tablepared to yesterday. The exhausted Thomas Firway and the arm-wounded Siera Santiago. The two of them had gone to the underground training field yesterday and only came out an hour before dinner. The ten levels of the underground training field were intelligent simted battlefields. From level one to ten, the difficulty increased progressively. Because the levels were randomly generated, each level would be different every time it was yed. However, no matter how a level changed, the difficulty would still be the same. In addition to testing ones true strength, it also tested stamina and the ability to adapt to random situations. Because you never know what youll encounter ahead. Thomas Firway wasnt injured, but he was too tired to speak a word. Siera Santiago suffered an arm abrasion, and she didnt evenplete ten rounds. She fainted on the ground and was taken away. Allonzo Hobson deliberately sat next to Thomas Firway during the meal, continuing to act strangely.
Thomas was filled with anger, but he was unable to vent it. Daisy Zane nced at them and said nothing, eating her meal next to Kevin rk. The meal was rtively quiet. Kevin waited for Daisy to put her chopsticks down before he followed suit. As soon as he put his chopsticks down, James Cooper said, Third Master, theres a shipment to be transported tomorrow, and it has to go through the border. It was supposed to be Miss Santiago and Thomas Firway in charge, but James looked at their conditions. Siera Santiago didnt even want to raise her eyelids. It was Thomas Firway who struggled to say, Third Master, I can do it. Ill be fine tomorrow. James and Michael Jackson looked at him, hearing his breathless voice: . You dont look like you can do it. Kevin rk remained silent. It was Daisy Zane who asked, Going to M Continent? The Mountain Sea Continent is next to M Continent.
The borderline is chaotic. Various forces are present, making it difficult to move goods from one side to the other, as they would be blocked by many forces. However, for organizations like Dark Radiance the number of blocking forces would be reduced by 80%. Because they dare not provoke and cannot afford to provoke. But there will always be some who are stubborn and reckless. Moreover, the bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts When Daisy Zane spoke, everyone at the table looked at her. If it werent for the authority of Kevin rk, the expressions hidden in these peoples eyes would probably not let her sit at the table, let alone allow her to speak. Yeah, Kevin answered. Daisy looked at him and hesitated to ask, Can I go? Upon hearing this, Thomas almost stood up and did two backward flips on the spot to prove that he was really fine. Everyones faces changed drastically. What do you want to do? Will we have to take care of you? Isnt this adding trouble to our alreadyplicated situation? Kevin was also somewhat worried. He was not concerned about Daisys safety, but rather her physical condition. Im fine, Daisy reassured him. Kevin still hesitated. He had something to do tomorrow and couldnt leave Dark Radiance. Daisy said, I wont fight; I just want to go along for fun. Do you really want to go? Kevin asked gently. Daisy nodded, nced at the looks of the others who didnt want her to go, and deliberately said casually, Ive never seen cargo transport before and havent been to the border. Im curious and want to see it. To see the scenery of the borderline and take a few photos. It was as if she was going on a sightseeing trip. Allonzo Hobson had just taken a sip of water, and he sprayed it all over Thomas Firway. Thomas looked at him weakly. Allonzo choked and coughed. How did she manage to be so nonchntly bewitching? Was she trying to drive these people crazy? Michael Jackson pursed his lips, holding backughter. Darknight Alliances Nameless had seen all kinds of scenes The more others thought she was useless, the more she described herself as useless. The more they got upset that the Third Master was unconditionally biased towards her, the more she made the Third Master biased. How many people will lose sleep tonight because of their anger? Kevin looked at her, theughter in his eyes growing deeper. And very cooperatively, he said, If you want to go, you can. But be careful. Alright, Daisy looked at the others, continuing her soft and casual tone, As long as they take care of me, I wont make any trouble. If a fight breaks out, Ill just cheer from the side. The precondition is that they take good care of me. It was a chilly tone and indifferent expression. But it still made people perceive the words Country-destroying seductress in her demeanor. Everyone stared at her, with faces full of frustration, as if they had just been forced to drink two jugs of swill water. Even Siera Santiago, who was too weak to raise her head, red at her. Daisy Zane felt that the group wanted her to disappear on the spot. Kevin rk lowered his head, stifling hisughter to keep fromughing out loud. This little girl. Chapter 416 - 368: Come Back and Complain to Me Chapter 416: Chapter 368: Come Back and Comin to Me Trantor: 549690339 Third Master actually agreed to let her go. What can she do when she goes there? Damn, Ill have to take care of her. It seems like Big Boss has changed this time. Big Boss never had room for women in his eyes before. Look at Miss Santiago on Mountain Sea Continent, even though she is the daughter of an old friend, when did Big Boss ever treat her like a woman? Siera Santiagoy on the conference table with her eyes closed, and hearing this remark, she said without even opening her eyes, Get lost, dont even mention me. This Lady Zane is not simple at all, shes really not simple, she even made Big Boss gentle. Dont you guys think that Big Boss is more terrifying after bing gentle? Everyone nodded in agreement. I really dont want to take her, Ive never taken care of a woman before, I dont know how to do it. With her delicate skin and tender flesh, how should I serve and attend to her to make herfortable? Only then can I prevent her from being willful and causing trouble. To ensure her safety, Third Master even asked Captain Mason to transport the goods tomorrow. When has Captain Mason, who is in charge of the 12th Hall, ever done such a thing? With Captain Masons temperament and character, Im actually a bit worried about Lady Zane. I hope he doesnt scare her to tears. Lady Zane doesnt seem like that kind of person, James Cooper said. Everyone in the meeting room looked at him. After a while, James Cooper was attacked by the group. What about her doesnt seem like that kind of person, just look at what she just said in the restaurant, listen. Have you been bewitched by her too, with your foggy mind? Thomas Firway dragged out his exhausted tone and shouted, Youve only known her for a few days, Ive known her for a long time, and shes always like this. Third Master listens to everything she says. James Cooper: Thomas Firway: Me and Miss Santiagos current state, isnt it the best evidence? Otherwise, would the two of us be like this? Yeah, when have you seen Third Master treat Miss Santiago like this? I sincerely pray that she changes her mind tonight and doesnt go tomorrow. What did Third Master see in her? She cant shoulder any responsibility or handle anything, and apart from being beautiful, shes practically useless. Beauty is enough, Siera Santiago mumbling with her eyes closed, Kevin rk is just a visual creature. No one dared to respond. Looking across the whole Dark Radiance, only this daughter of an old friend had the guts to say such things about Kevin rk behind his back. A group of people piled up in the meeting room, secretlyining. Inside the room, Daisy Zane was writing the script, and Kevin rk went to make her another bowl of brown sugar water and put it beside her. Daisy Zane took a look and continued writing. Arthur North hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and after a while, he asked, Do you really want to go tomorrow? Yes. Im afraid youll feel ufortable. Its okay, Daisy Zane said, I want to have a look. I have something to do tomorrow, I cant apany you. Kevin rk apologized. Ill keep an eye on them for you, Daisy Zane said lightly as she typed. Kevin rk chuckled, Okay. Letting Madam work so hard. When Madames back, Ill definitely serve her well. Hearing the implied meaning in his words, Daisy Zanes fingers faltered, and she said, Get lost. Kevin rk didnt move but held her tighter, chuckling softly. Ill have Michael Jackson follow you and put safety first. Okay. The next day, Kevin rk woke up very early. When Daisy Zane woke up and finished washing and rinsing, and went downstairs, Kevin rk was outside giving instructions. James Cooper, Michael Jackson, and a person Daisy Zane hadnt seen before were all listening to what Kevin rk said. The person Daisy Zane hadnt seen before was Captain Adrian Roberts. When Kevin rk heard Daisy Zanes footsteps, he turned and looked at her. His eyes were instantly filled with a smile, and he said warmly, Breakfast is on the table, go and eat first. Adrian Roberts immediately looked at her. There was not only hostility in his eyes, but also disgust. He looked older than James Cooper and the others. His skin was a bit dark, and his appearance very fierce. Especially those eyes, which were filled with deep anger. Daisy Zane had intended to turn around and walk to the restaurant, but when she saw him looking at her, she stopped, lifted her eyelids, and looked at him. Noticing this, Kevin rk nced at Adrian Roberts, who immediately averted his gaze. Daisy Zane then went to the restaurant. Kevin rk said gravely, Ensure her safety, and prioritize her above all else. Do you understand? Adrian Roberts obeyed, Yes. James Cooper and Michael Jackson echoed, Yes. After finishing breakfast and setting off, they would be flying from the Dark Radiance Base to the heliport near the border of Dark Radiance. Then they would drive through the open channel to M Continent. It was very safe at the heliport of Dark Radiance. The area around the open channel was also rtively safe. The distance after the open channel between the two continents was the most dangerous. In order to bnce development, many forces would umte here. Due to the bnced effect, some of these forces were somewhat independent, with a somewhat wild tendency. Anyone who passes through here always wants to get involved Today, Daisy Zane was dressed in casual wear, veryfortable, with her hair down, conveying aid-back yet cold feeling. When she was about to board the ne, she saw Michael Jackson carrying two suitcases up first. She nced at the two suitcases and then looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk touched the top of her head: Well be staying outside tonight, so Ive prepared daily necessities. One suitcase has snacks, which could help kill time during the boring journey. Are we staying outdoors? Daisy Zane asked. Theres a ce to settle down in the M Continent. You just have to prepare something, just take clothes. Why take such arge suitcase? And two of them. Like this she really looks like shes going on a sightseeing tour. Daisy Zane noticed the peoples hidden displeasure around her. She slowly said, Third Master, is it possible that the biggest danger to me on this trip is from your own people? Ive talked to everyone. Kevin rk tucked her hair behind her ear, then took a small hairband from his pocket and put it in hers, Dont worry. Hmm. If someone bullies you,e back and tell me, and Ill beat them up, Kevin rk said with a smile. Daisy Zaneughed, turned around, boarded the ne, and waved at Kevin rk. Kevin rk watched her back as she walked away, smiling. The little girl looked cool. As the ne took off, Daisy Zane was drawing a design diagram on a tablet. Michael Jackson sat next to her, ready to follow her orders at any time. It wasnt that he was overly attentive today; it was just that Kevin rk had been repeatedly emphasizing, making him a bit nervous. Michael Jackson Lady Zane, Im here, Michael Jackson immediately said, What do you want to eat? Drink? Or something else? Adrian Roberts and James Cooper both nced over. While James didnt mind, Adrians face could hardly conceal his dissatisfaction. Daisy Zane nced at Michael Jackson, then lowered her head to continue drawing the design diagram. She asked softly, Is this our first day of acquaintance? No, Michael Jackson replied, even though he didnt understand the question. Then youre nervous. Michael Jackson: I, Im not. Daisy Zane chuckled lightly: Tell me about the power dynamics in the Mountain Sea Continent. Yes. Michael Jackson obliged, pondering for a moment, There are two major powers in the Mountain Sea Continent: Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion. Dark Radiance was established ten years ago. At that time, it was one of the many small organizations. The Mountain Sea Continent was chaotic then, with many forces stationed here. Seeing this, Third Master also sent his people here. Daisy Zane closed the tablet and listened to Michael Jacksons words. Seeing her response, Michael Jackson felt a warm current in his heart. It felt good to be respected. Captain Mason Michael Jackson looked at Adrian Roberts, He was the first toe to the Mountain Sea Continent. Daisy Zane took a look at Adrian. When their gazes met, Adrian narrowed his eyes before shifting away with resentment. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. Michael Jackson continued: At that time, Third Master was busy with other matters and couldnt pay much attention to this ce. It was Captain Mason who had been expanding Dark Radiance. Daisy Zane thought for a moment and realized that Kevin rk must have been busy with Easton Groups affairs in F Continent at that time. Later when Third Master came over, Dark Radiance grew rapidly. They were originally in bnce with an organization called the Thousand Mountains Alliance. However, the Hundred Demons Pavilion suddenly rose, and within two years they became the other major power in the Mountain Sea Continent. The Thousand Mountains Alliance, under the suppression of Hundred Demons Pavilion, didnt be the third major power. Daisy Zane listened and raised her eyebrows. Adrian listened on the other side, feeling choked up. Telling her so much, would she understand? Adrian had more than just a little bit of an issue with her. That he coulde here was all thanks to her. Because Thomas Firway and Siera Santiago couldnt move now. Most importantly, Third Master had been urging him to take good care of her. When had he ever taken care of anyone? He had only beaten people up! If he hit her once, would Third Master tear him apart? Pent-up Michael Jackson went on: The Mountain Sea Continent has a set of rules different from those in the domestic area. Both Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion hold great power here Michael Jackson talked about many things regarding the Mountain Sea Continent, clearly understanding the matters well. Moreover, hisnguage was clear, and his logic was sound. No wonder, among so many people, only Michael Jackson was chosen as Kevin rks assistant. Thats about it. Daisy Zane nodded, then opened the tablet again to continue her drawing. After hesitating for a few seconds, Michael Jackson suddenly realized that he was no longer nervous. He blinked but didnt dare to look at Daisy Zane. Back in the Imperial Capital, the police stations arrest warrant for the Mountain Sea Continent Anyone capable of getting the arrest warrant, knowing Logan, and having once used Alvin Phantoms men in Truro City, must be familiar with the power distribution in the Mountain Sea Continent. Michael Jackson paused and said, Thank you, Lady Zane. Daisy Zane didnt look up: No need to thank me. Its your nervousness that affected me. Michael Jackson: Chapter 417 - 369: Blowing up the Scene Chapter 417: Chapter 369: Blowing up the Scene Trantor: 549690339 Before noon, the airnended. Everyone didnt have any rest, ate something and set off. The six-hour car journey, the group of big men were used to it. But they were still a bit worried about Daisy Zane. Even though they had resentment, she was their big bosss wife. Before leaving, Kevin rk constantly reminded them to take good care of her. They didnt dare to disobey. So a few people discussed it, and James Cooper, who looked kinder, went to ask her. The convoy stopped, and Daisy Zane looked out. It was calm. Soon, James Cooper came over and knocked on the car window. The window rolled down, and he said, Lady Zane, are you alright? Its a long journey, do you want to rest here for a bit? Daisy Zane nced at the time and said, No need. Just follow your pace, or we wont reach the resting ce before evening. Daisy Zane thought they might have slowed down the car. James Cooper hesitated for a moment, and instinctively nodded after hearing her arrangement, Yes, No. Its a long journey. Were worried about your body. Im fine, Daisy Zane said. You can rest when you need to. Alright. Not long after James Cooper left, the car continued to move forward. Daisy Zane put herptop on herp and continued to work on the script. After James Cooper returned, he told Adrian Roberts what Daisy Zane had said. Adrians face, which had been livid for a day, finally got better, Shes understanding and not fussy. James Cooper nodded. Whether shes good at it or not, whether shes strong or not, is secondary. Third Master didnt marry a wife to train a killer, Adrian Roberts said. The most important thing is her perspective. Just dont be petty. He had been unhappy since he found outst night that Thomas Firway and Siera Santiago got paralyzed as punishment. He didnt think this woman was a good kind. But after such a short time getting along, she didnt cause him any trouble. She didnt cause him any trouble, so he thought she was ok. They took two breaks on the way and arrived at their resting ce in the M Continent before it got dark. Daisy Zane didnt have much interaction with them and went back to her room after dinner. James Cooper and Adrian Roberts had actions to carry out at night, and she didnt ask about it. Instead, after returning to the room, she looked at the time and asked in their group chat, [Are there any tasks in M Continent? Ill help youplete them.] Luke : [?????????] Logan : [??? Boss, youre in M Continent?!] Damian Brown: [Im going, the boss is going to take up a task. Its been two years, and I suddenly feel a little out of sorts.] Samuel Gray : [Sister? When did you go to M Continent? I dont know. I cant participate in this kind of thing.] Logan quickly sent a location: [This ce has an underground boxing arena, dealing in various illegal drugs. I was thinking of taking some people to bust it in a few days.] Daisy Zane took a look at the ce and replied: [Two hours.] Logan: [Understood.] After James Cooper and Adrian Roberts left with their men, Daisy Zane changed her clothes, jumped out of the window, avoided the guards outside, and left silently. Then she returned silently early in the morning. At seven oclock in the morning, Daisy Zane got up, washed and rinsed, went downstairs, and ate. After that, they set off. Everyones initial dissatisfaction with Daisy Zane turned into curiosity. This woman followed them for a day and night, not making any noise, not being fussy, and not talking much. She got up when she said she would, and left when she said she would, without any extra demands. What about the promise to take pictures when in a good mood? What about the promise to cause trouble when in a bad mood? She didnt do anything, she barely talked, and she seemed busy with her tablet andputer. If she was so busy, was she ufortable staying at Dark Radiance? What would shee out for and suffer for? Everyone set off on the return journey in confusion, while Daisy Zane fell asleep as soon as she got in the car. Because she didnt sleep at night. The car ride back was slower due to the vehicle carrying cargo. They took a break at morning, and during the stop, Daisy Zane woke up once, saw there was nothing going on, and went back to sleep. They had lunch at noon. Michael Jackson set up a folding table below them and put a pot on it. Inside the never-before-opened suitcase was vacuum-packed ingredients. Daisy Zane watched him take out the items one by one and sighed softly. She really was having a pic. Since everything was ready, Daisy Zane didnt disappoint Kevin rks expectations. After Michael Jackson cooked the ingredients, she really dide through on her word and took photos. Once the photos were taken, she sent them to Kevin rk. Then she said, Ask them if they want to join us? Michael Jackson went to ask and then came back. No one came. Daisy Zanes reputation, which had been built up in less than half a day, had copsed. The others were gnawing on dry food and eating instant noodles. As for her, there was fish and meat, along with three dishes and soup. This luxurious andfortable life. My cooking skills arent great, please dont be picky, he said. Lets eat together. Daisy Zane replied. Im not Daisy Zane looked at him, and Michael Jackson swallowed back his words: Alright, Lady Zane. As long as one can cook on a fire and avoid burning the food, the dishes shouldnt taste too bad with the ready-prepared ingredients. While eating, Daisy Zane said, I have a reasonable suspicion that your Third Master wants to harm me. Michael Jackson understood what she was talking about and chuckled. Just look, if it wasnt for Kevin rks authority, I reckon this group would have already thrown me into the ravine we just passed. Evenbined, this group wouldnt be a match for Lady Zane, right? Michael Jackson said. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly, continued eating, and said nothing. Because Daisy Zanes lunchtime took a while, the afternoon break was longer. With everyone waiting for a long time, they started chatting idly. Troy Walkers underground boxing arena was bombedst night; who do you think did it? Its hard to say with the mixed powers in M Continent. But I heard it was a woman with a covered face and long hair. Yeah, the rumor has it the woman entered the arena first and then fought Troy Walker one-on-one. Not just one-on-one? I heard she yed with him like a toy. Knocked him down in the ring, let him get up, knocked him down again. It was just humiliation. Many people witnessed it. When the woman floored Troy Walkerpletely, thats when others stormed in and cleared the ce. Many were captured. I heard there was a trade of illegal drugs. Many people participated. It was a busy night in the boxing arena. Then they cleared the ce and bombed the arena. Its arge power. Troy Walker has a prominent status in M Continent, otherwise, he wouldnt dare to do such things. To be eliminated just like that. Its rare for a woman to be this powerful. Among us, who can take on Troy Walker alone? Everyone fell silent. After a while, someone nced at Daisy Zane. Seeing her leisurely and rxed like she was on a pic, they muttered, Both are women, why is there such a big difference? Everyone went silent once more. As Michael Jackson listened to their conversation, he suddenly turned his head to look at Daisy Zane. A woman with long hair Why are you looking at me? Daisy Zane said, Do you think it was me? Was it? Michael Jackson asked quietly. He thought of how she had been sleeping in the car all night and wondered if she had stayed up the night before. Daisy Zane chuckled but said nothing. Michael Jacksons eyes widened. She didnt deny it! Last night he had slept like the dead, while the person Third Master asked him to take care of went to blow up the boxing arena. Chapter 418: 370: Surround and Block Chapter 418: Chapter 370: Surround and Block
Trantor:549690339 After lunch, they continued on their journey. Daisy Zane dozed off again after getting back into the car. Firstly, she hadnt slept the previous night and was genuinely tired. Secondly, it was genuinely quite uneventful seemingly calm and peaceful all the time. But since they were carrying the Thing, how could it remain calm and peaceful all the time. It was 2:06 in the afternoon, local time.
Daisy Zane heard the gunfire and opened her eyes. Simultaneously, voices came from the walkie-talkies inside the car. In their car, other than the driver, there was only Michael Jackson in the copilot seat and Daisy Zane in the backseat. A burst of static, then voices from the walkies talking about being ambushed by more than one group of people. It could be some powers temporarily teaming up to intercept Dark Radiances Thing, or it could simply be every faction trying topete on their own. After this message came over, Adrian Roberts voice rang out: Stick to the n, prioritize the cargo. If forced to disperse, rendezvous at Shallow Creek. Understood. The sound of gunfire drew nearer, and Daisy Zane noticed the vehicles approaching from afar. The walkie-talkie crackled again: Kent Jericho, follow James Coopers car. Ensure Lady Zanes safety. Kent Jericho was Daisy Zanes driver, and quickly responded, Roger that. There were vehicles ahead and behind Daisy Zanes car specifically for her protection. Michael Jackson turned his head to look at Daisy Zane in the rear, saw her calm and somewhat sleepy demeanor, and silently turned his gaze forward again.
Who was protecting who It was hard to tell. The forces on the perimeter were closing in fast. Driving their cars in an attempt to crash into theirs, they opened fire on their cars. Daisy Zanes car was unaffected vehicles swiftly surrounded it for protection. All their cars were modified: ss and tires were bulletproof, and the entire body had been refitted. To avoid impacting the speed, special materials were used in the cars. They could still maintain high speeds. As long as there wasnt a sustained attack, the cars would generally not have any issues. The opposing factions quickly engaged inbat, with gunfire and crashes heard all around. The driver called Kent Jericho was very skilled at driving. Though they were under siege, he could always manage to evade. However, while the cars speed was fast, it was only circling around, not escaping the area. There were many enemies, and they couldnt break away for now. So, to avoid the enemy, all he could do was circle. The cars carrying the cargo, driven by James Cooper and his team, too, were engaging while circling around.
The scene was incredibly chaotic. Daisy Zane felt dizzy from the circling in the car. At the front, Michael Jackson kept cautioning her to be careful and avoid getting hit. Two minutester, one of the protective vehicles around her car was hit and came to a stop on the spot. With one side losing its barrier and opening a gap, the enemys attacks intensified. Furthermore, the vehicle that had stopped was immediately surrounded and attacked. Daisy Zane immediately took a gun from a ck bag beside her and rolled down the car window, saying, Slow down. On instinct, Kent Jericho tapped the brakes. However, in the very moment he instinctively did this, an enemy car caught up, trying to ram into theirs. Startled, Kent Jericho hurriedly hit the gas pedal and swerved the steering wheel. Just at this instant, Daisy Zane fired three shots at the oing enemy car. The enemy cars windows were also bulletproof, but of lesser quality. Daisy Zane shattered the window into a spiderweb crack with two shots and with the third shot, the bullet prated the window and hit the driver in the shoulder. The enemy car came to a halt. Kent Jericho had his eyes wide open, panting heavily. He was first shocked by his mistake of hitting the brakes, and then surprised again by Daisy Zanes astonishing marksmanship.
As soon as Daisy Zane acted, Michael Jackson immediately reached for his gun. And the opening that had been breached was quickly filled by another protective vehicle, which once again ensured Daisy Zanes car was protected. Lets go back. Daisy Zane rolled up the car window. Kent Jericho nced at Daisy Zane through the rearview mirror: Lady Zane The car that was forced to stop just now is under attack, we have to go back and help. Daisy Zane said. Lady Zane, we must prioritize your safety Go back, Daisy Zanemanded in a low voice, Dont make me repeat it for the third time. This was the first time that Michael Jackson, having known Daisy for so long, had heard her use such amanding tone. Kent Jericho hesitated for a moment before turning around and driving back. The vehicles protecting them didnt know the reason, but they followed back as well. Kents car drove very swiftly. There were two people in the besieged vehicle, using the car as a shield, they were fighting against the enemy from inside the car. Kents vehicle, along with three other vehicles, attacked from the periphery of the enemy.
The enemy had surrounded that car, and they attacked the enemy around the car from the enemys periphery. Daisys marksmanship was very urate, nearly every bullet found its mark, even in such high speed conditions. By the time their vehicle had made the third round, the besieged car had gotten a chance to breathe. The driver started up the car and quickly broke away from the siege, then followed Daisy and the others. Seeing theme out, Daisy fired thest bullet in her gun, closed the car window, and while recing her magazine, said, Continue circling, every enemy we pull in counts. The vast in was filled with power from different factions; being inside the car was the safest. Daisy asked Kent to continue driving around, intending to wipe out the group of people chasing them right there. Since it was a in, people could roam everywhere. How many they could draw into their circle depended on Kents driving skills. Arent we leaving? Kent asked her while looking at her from the rearview mirror. He saw her quickly refilling the magazine very quickly, her face cold andposed. Even though bullets were constantly hitting the car windows and doors, her expression remained unchanged, her eyshes didnt even blink once. Five minutes. Daisy loaded the magazine, Pin them down here. Her calm demeanor, the dismissive tone of her voice gave Kent greatfort. He obeyed and kept circling the car.
Four other vehicles also mimicked their action. For five minutes, Daisy attacked with her gun while also guiding Kent on the road. All those who had chased them were either injured or handicapped, and some also retreated When they werepletely unable to chase them anymore, Daisy then said, Retreat. Kent took a breath and exhaled slowly, both nervous and excited. His hands gripping the steering wheel werepletely wet. Just their five cars had wiped out a team that had been chasing them. He had never felt so exhrated before. Kents eyes glittered with excitement as he drove towards James. Their n was that James was responsible for taking the goods away, and couldnt afford to be involved in battle. Most importantly, the goods were the second priority, Daisy Zanes safety was the first priority. On the other hand, Adrian was part of the group who wished to fight, purely to distract the enemys firepower. Compared to them, Daisy was initially in the safest position. But because of the location being a in, it was barren all around, only dry weeds were present. When the enemy surrounded them, the whole team was being attacked from all directions. Under the current circumstances, whether they wished to fight or not, all were in the heat of battle. Even though James team was moving, the battle was not let up. In fact, initially when attacked, the team was somewhat dispersed, fighting individually. They were currently retreating while trying to regroup. When Daisy left, neither James nor Adrian noticed. One, they did not foresee Daisy leaving the safe area, and two, they were too preupied in that moment. Only when Kent drove back to join forces with James to strike the enemy did James realize that Daisy was not with the team. James instantly broke out in cold sweat. Even though Daisy was safe and sound, the image of Harton rks murderous eyes still floated into his mind The enemy was nked, and suffered heavy losses. Now was a good opportunity to retreat. Even though the thought of Harton rk made James legs go weak, he did not drag his feet and immediately ordered the retreat. Leaving some people to cover them, Kent drove the car to a safer location. From the car window, Daisy looked toward Adrians team. Chapter 419: 371: Take Her and Run First Chapter 419: Chapter 371: Take Her and Run First
Trantor:549690339 There were too many enemies on Adrians side, so many that from the periphery Dark Radiances people could not be seen. Both James and Adrian had vehicles for transporting goods. But the goods Adrian was carrying were fake, meant to confuse the enemies. But Adrian managed to make the enemy think that the goods on his side were real. So from the very beginning, the main firepower was aimed at Adrians side. Kent, go to Captain Masons side.
Kent was stunned, and Michael also looked at the back: Lady Zane Listen to my arrangement. Kent looked at Michael, who hesitated but still listened to Daisys words. He nodded. Kent was even more indecisive, mainly because he couldnt make up his mind. After thinking about it, he finally turned the car around towards Adrians side. The four vehicles that had been following him saw him leave, so they followed suit. James immediately noticed Daisys departure. He hurriedly called Michael. Instead of his usual kind manner, he roared: Michael, what are you doing! Bring Lady Zane back right away! If anything happens, how can we exin it to Third Master? Before Michael could speak, Daisy took the phone. Her voice was steady and filled with coldness: James, you are responsible for safely bringing back the goods and the people you lead. This is your only task now. Well meet at Shallow Creek. Jamess roar stopped. There was something about Daisys words that made people feel at ease and convinced. It made people want to obey subconsciously. But Third Master Ill exin to Kevin.
After Daisy spoke, she hung up the phone. There were too many forces on Adrians side,ing from all directions. Theypletely surrounded Adrian and his men inside. It was unrealistic for Daisys group to circle around the periphery, so they concentrated their firepower on a weaker force from the outside. A hole was torn through the forces defense. As soon as the encirclement cracked, it was like half a victory. But the abilities of Adrian and the others in Dark Radiance were not just for show. Each of them was formidable inbat. It was just a matter of time for them to break through the encirclement from the inside. Otherwise, Adrian wouldnt dare y like this. Soon, they rushed out through the hole, retreating while fighting. They did not fully retreat but rather a feigned withdrawal. Itpletely confused the enemy.
As they chased after Adrian and his men, some forces dropped out midway because they couldnt stand the casualties caused by their withdrawal and subsequent attack. Moreover, Adrians men moved in the opposite direction from James, in order to lead the enemy away. When there was no one chasing them, Adrian still led his men a long way forward before allowing everyone to stop and rest for a bit. Those who were injured treated their wounds, while the uninjured rested. Then Adrian went to see Daisy. Daisy opened the car door but did not get out, sitting in her seat eating sugar. Seeing her leisurely eating sugar, Adrian felt a surge of anger. He roared at Kent: What are you doing? I told you to follow James! Where is James?! Is James here?! Kent stood by the car, not daring to say a word, not even making a sound. Daisys tongue wrapped around the sugar as shezily said, I told him to drive over. You Adrian looked at her, and then turned to Kent and Michael, What are you guys doing to protect people?! She just does whatever she wants, who would be responsible if something happened! Who would exin to Third Master! Daisy leaned back in her seat and said softly, Jamess side may not be safe. But its safer than this side! Adrian said, looking at her.
Daisy looked at him. Adrian stared back at her for two seconds, then looked at Kent and Michael: Its ridiculous! Have you ever thought about what would happen if we encountered a big force now? At that time, it will be hard to protect ourselves, let alone others! He had already put it quite euphemistically. That is to say, theirbat-type team, dragging a burden, would reduce theirbat power. How could they have the time to take care of a waste! Kent, who had just discovered that Daisy was good with a gun, couldnt wait to show off to everyone. It was not as calm andposed as Michael. He said: Captain Mason, Lady Zane is really good with a gun. Im not blind! Adrian shouted, I saw it! But whats the use of good marksmanship? Without the cover of vehicles, what use are guns? No matter how well this car is modified, it cant withstand round after round of attacks. Dont you understand this logic? Daisy ate her sugar, watched them, and listened to Adrians indirect scolding. Kent was so scolded that he could hardly speak. After a while, he muttered, We wont be so unlucky as to encounter any major forces. As soon as the words left his mouth, the brother on lookout reported: Captain Mason, ck Foxs forces have been spotted approaching.
Adrian: Michael: Kent: Daisy: . Adrians breath stuck in his throat as he looked at Kent. He was so angry that he wanted to bite him: You damn jinx! ck Fox, the name of the entire organization was ck Fox, and their bosss name was also ck Fox. It was a big power in the M Continent, a mysterious organization that rarely appeared near the border. But today they met. ck Fox had a distinct feature: the organization seemed to have many reckless members. No matter how big the force, or who was behind it, they dared to strike, and strike forcefully. And when they encountered such a force, they would inevitably fight. For so many years they have always been around.
It seemed that they had not grown much, but they had not disappeared, and their reputation was still there. This was the reason Adrian was worried. Moreover, the key point was that their people had already experienced a fierce battle, and some of them were injured. If they fought again, he wasnt unsure about winning, just afraid that the damage would be too severe. There was still a long way to go, and Shallow Creek was still far away. There were many unknowns ahead. If they fought here again, they would probably be in big trouble if they encountered another blockade. But the enemy was already in front of them, they had no choice but to fight. Adrian looked at Daisy, but before he could speak, ck Foxs people had already approached. From a distance, they could see them, and they took out speakers to shout, Dark Radiance, its our first encounter! Meeting is fate, we havent fought Dark Radiance before, dont know if you are really that powerful. Daisy listened to the voice, and the speakers were at least the lowest quality ones. Without Adrian saying anything, everyone immediately went on guard and enteredbat status. ck Fox shouted again, I see you have injured people. In that case, all of you kneel down and kowtow three times. Today, Ill break my rule and let you go. Each person kowtows three more times, and Ill escort you a distance. Adrian wanted to say something to Daisy, but suddenly forgot what it was. He spat, cursed, and immediately walked forward, as he spoke to Kent and Michael: Protect her well, in case something happens take her away first. Chapter 420: 372: Face Scan Chapter 420: Chapter 372: Face Scan
Trantor:549690339 ck Fox closed in, both sides faced off. Dark Radiances peoplepletely surrounded Daisy Zane to ensure her safety. They even left an escape route. An escape route This had never happened before. Dark Radiance never feared a battle and had never been defeated.
There would never be any escape route. As both sides faced off, ready to fight at any time, Brother Nine of ck Fox spoke through a megaphone again, Dark Radiance, I see youve got fewer people. Lets make it fair. One from our side, one from your side, one-on-one. Best two out of three. How about that? This was clearly not about the goods they were carrying C they just wanted to fight and challenge Dark Radiance. Adrian Roberts had never seen such arrogance; blood rushed to his head. Holding a megaphone, he shouted, Fight then, less talk. If you wont fight, get out of the way. The sound of this megaphone sounded really expensive. Sitting inside the car with aputer on herp disying a satellite map, Daisy Zane saw the distribution of many forces. Almost all of them were in motion. After typing for a while, she confirmed that the people opposite her were indeed ck Fox. ck Fox: Heh, youve got quite the temper. If you dont take the chance, when you loseter, youll all kneel down and call me Grandfather. Adrian Roberts didnt respond. He threw away the megaphone, loaded his gun, and prepared to fight. ck Foxs people also approached once again.
Once within firing range, the two sides would start fighting. It was at this moment that Daisy Zane made her move. Lady Zane As Daisy Zane got out of the car, Kent Jericho and Michael Jackson immediately followed her. Kent Jericho said, Lady Zane, Captain Mason told us not to go forward. Wed better not go. Captain Mason will be angry. Michael only silently followed her as she walked forward. Daisy Zane didnt stop walking. With both hands in her pocket, she strolled forward as if taking a walk. Kent, standing beside her, didnt stop her from walking either. In his anxiousness, he tried to hold her back, but couldnt find the right way to do it. He wondered what kind of move he should make to stop her without getting his hand chopped off by Third Master. In the end, he could only grab her sleeve in desperation Michael looked at him: How old is this child? He pulled on her sleeve, Daisy Zane stopped and looked at her sleeve first. Then, she looked at Kent.
Kent awkwardly let go of her as he said, Lady Zane, please dont move forward. Daisy Zane cast a nce at him and said calmly, Its fine. After that, she continued forward, moving faster this time. Kent looked at Michael, who remained silent. The two caught up with her hurriedly. Adrian Roberts watched as ck Foxs people steadily approached, calcting the distance and preparing to open fire at any moment. Suddenly, he saw Daisy Zane, Kent Jericho, and Michael Jackson in the corner of his eye. For the first time, Adrian Roberts felt as if he was getting old and his eyes were ying tricks on him. He blinked and looked again C they were really there! He looked back at the car behind him, and there was no one left inside. Adrian Roberts immediately cursed: What the f*ck, are they trying to get killed?! The rest of the people were also bewildered, looking at the three of them in surprise. What are they going to do?
Arent they just going to get killed? They dont even have any cover. Once they start shooting, they could be riddled with bullets. Damn, this is just messing around, right? This is not just dragging their feet; this is outright causing trouble. They have really gone all out this time. What do we do now? Furious, Adrian Roberts felt his chest ache: This woman she, she Because of Harton rk, Adrian Roberts didnt finish his sentence. Instead, he said, Are Kent Jericho and Michael Jackson useless? They cant even stop one woman! What are they eating for?! Adrian Roberts quickly calmed down and swiftly adjusted his tactics, deciding to bring these three people back in the car first. As he adjusted his tactics on this side, ck Fox was observing the Dark Radiance side with a telescope in his car. He looked and looked, and suddenly saw a figure walking out from the Dark Radiance side. He hesitated, stretched his neck and looked more carefully with the telescope. Then he rubbed his eyes and looked closely again. Wait a minute, wait a minute, ck Fox shouted, everyone stop, stop, stop! The driver immediately notified everyone to stop.
ck Fox looked with the telescope again, and then sat in the car, suddenly adjusting his clothes. On Daisy Zanes side Michael Jackson and Kent Jericho followed her, all with an expression ready to die at any moment. Although Michael knew Daisy wasnt simple, her action still made him a bit dizzy. The other side had already fired a shot, so their chances of survival were zero. He and Kent, suppressing their wildly beating hearts, still apanied Daisy. Lady Zane Michael asked with a trembling voice, What are we going to do? Kent also said, Yes, what are we going to do? Daisy stopped, not continuing to walk forward, maintaining a safe distance from ck Foxs side, and said, Show my face. Michael reacted, !!!!! Kent: ????? Dark Radiance had already nned the rescue, and then suddenly discovered that ck Foxs side had all stopped. Captain Mason, ck Foxs side has stopped.
Just as the words fell, Adrian saw a white g appearing on a car. Adrian: ?????? Everyone in Dark Radiance: ?????? What, whats going on? someone asked. Adrian was also puzzled. The car with the white g drove over separately. Adrian immediately changed the rescue n again: Ill drive over to pick them up first, you all be on guard. Yes. As Adrian drove over, ck Foxs car also stopped not far away. Adrian stopped the car, and ck Fox got out. Adrian stood in front of Daisy, shielding her behind him. ck Fox jogged forward a few steps, stopped two meters away, stretched his neck out to see Daisy over Adrian. His face was full of smiles, as if seeing a rtive, Brother Nine, Brother Nine! Its me, ck Fox. Adrians fierce expression hesitated. Michael and Kent looked at Daisy after a moment of hesitation. Daisy nced at Adrians back and then walked out from his side, looking at ck Fox. ck Fox took a step forward, full of excitement, Brother Nine! How long has it been since weve seen each other? What are you doing here? Adrian waspletely dumbfounded, and turned to look at Daisy. Daisy kept a straight face, looking at ck Fox, and walked forward, If I kowtow three times to you, will you let me pass? ck Foxs smile stiffened, No, no, no, Brother Nine, I didnt know it was you. Kowtow three more times and escort me away? Daisy continued to walk forward. Brother Nine, I wouldnt dare? ck Fox wanted to cry. One-on-one, best of three, Daisy continued in a calm voice. Because of her walking forward, ck Fox kept retreating, Brother Nine, who can beat you? Losing means kneeling down and calling me Grandfather, Daisy looked at him. Her phoenix eyes had a domineering presence, cold and prating. ck Foxs legs went weak, Dad, I was wrong, wrong. I didnt know it was you. Let me kowtow to you twice first. As ck Fox was about to kneel, Daisy pulled him up, Stand up. ck Fox stood up, not daring to make a sound. As for Adrian, Michael and Kent, they were like three human-shaped wooden stakes, standing motionless, even their expressions seemed frozen. Chapter 421: 373: Not Simple Chapter 421: Chapter 373: Not Simple
Trantor:549690339 Brother Nine, howe youre at Dark Radiance? Both Dark Radiances and ck Foxs powers remained in ce, resting at a distance from each other Daisy Zane, Adrian Roberts, and others were chatting with ck Fox in the middle. Michael Jackson and ck Fox even brought some folding chairs over, and everyone sat down to chat. I got married in Dark Radiance. Daisy Zane casually said while peeling candy.
Oh, you got married in Dark Radiance. ck Foxughed and replied. Two seconds after his reply, his expression suddenly paused: You got married in Dark Radiance?! The sound was too loud, making Daisy Zane close her eyes. Married in Dark Radiance! ck Fox shouted again, then suddenly choked on his saliva. He coughed violently and couldnt catch his breath. He hurriedly stood up, jumped twice, forcefully coughed twice, and finally breathed smoothly. He kept coughing for a while until his face turned red. Daisy Zane watched him quietly. Seeing that he was fine, she said, Even a cooked crab isnt as red as you. ck Fox immediately took a couple of deep breaths and looked at Daisy Zane, Brother Nine, you actually got married! Cant I get married? For real? ck Fox couldnt ept it. It had to be an exceptional man to catch her eye. Yes. ck Fox touched his shaved head and forced himself to ept the fact. Then, he suddenly looked at Adrian Roberts.
Adrian Roberts sensed his gaze and immediately looked at him. He thought ck Fox was going to cause trouble, but saw him walk over with a smile, Big Brother, I apologize for any offense. I apologize. Adrian Roberts: I didnt recognize a true hero. The man who could marry Brother Nine must be someone I cant beat. ck Fox said sincerely, ck Fox also cant beat Dark Radiance. Please forgive any offense. Adrian Roberts didnt say anything. ck Fox waited for a while, but Adrian didnt speak, so he suddenly reached out to shake his hand. Adrian Roberts dodged immediately. ck Fox hesitated for a moment and tried again. He forcefully grabbed his hand, shook it, and let go, Lets shake hands and make peace. Were friends from now on. Rest assured, if we meet in the future and need help, ck Fox will definitely help. My Brother Nines inw family is also ck Foxs inw family. Adrian Roberts: Daisy Zane: Michael Jackson chuckled. Kent Jericho looked at Daisy Zane with admiration.
After ck Fox finished talking with Adrian Roberts, he sat down next to Daisy Zane again. He took out a cigarette and handed it to her, Brother Nine, have one. Its your favorite. Daisy Zane looked at the cigarette he offered and paused for a moment before taking one. ck Fox was going to light the cigarette for her, but Daisy Zane took the lighter from his hand and lit it herself. As the smoke wafted up, Daisy Zane gazed at the cellphone in her hand. The four men watched her. Adrian Roberts narrowed his eyes a momentter. He thought: Thomas Firway was probably missing a screw. Their Third Masters wife, the legal wife who would be included in the rk Familys genealogy. She couldnt possibly be a burden. Even ck Fox knew that the man she could approve must not be an ordinary man. Conversely, the woman their Third Master was interested in must not be ordinary either. Being able to subdue ck Fox while maintaining a calm disposition from beginning to end couldnt be described as extraordinary. A woman capable of achieving such a level gained even more admiration. As Adrian Roberts thought about it, his brow furrowed after a while.
It seemed they were all missing a screw. How could they think she was a burden? It was obvious that she had brought them an advantage. Brother Nine, why are you all here? ck Fox asked. You shouldnt be heading this way to return to Dark Radiance, right? Daisy Zane quietly exhaled a puff of smoke without directly answering him. Instead, she casually said, Taking a break. ck Fox didnt ask any more questions. Howe you guys are here? We ck Fox said, brought them out here to practice. Pretty idle. Daisy Zane said. ck Foxs eyes lit up in an instant: Brother Nine, what can I do for you? Daisy Zane nced at the data on theputer synced to her cellphone, said: A shipment will pass through here, meat delivered right to our doorstep. Adrian Roberts, Michael Jackson, and Kent Jericho all looked at her. Daisy Zane looked at Adrian Roberts and said, Fill up these cargo trucks with the goods and head back.
The cargo trucks were all fake, with nothing loaded inside. ck Foxs eyes sparkled: Cant say no to free goods. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows slightly. Adrian Roberts suddenly felt that this woman was somewhat terrifying. So, an hourter, Dark Radiance and ck Fox joined forces to rob the shipment. Moreover, they were quite merciful, going easy on the other party. They focused solely on stealing the goods without causing serious injury. Daisy Zane participated in the heist as well. She took on the leader of the cargo team single-handedly. She subdued him in just a few moves, then, while holding him down, she smirked and said, Tell Gael Easton that this shipment will cover his rent and living expenses in the Imperial Capital. Adrian stood by her side, still trying to figure out how she had subdued the man with her slender, fair fingers, and wondering why they were so strong and so fast. Then he heard her say that sentence. He knew what kind of figure Gael Easton was in M Continent. Gael Easton had his own power, scattered throughout M Continent, and even had the identity of the M Continent Monarch Dynasty.
Everyone would rather avoid getting involved with someone like him, as he was big trouble. But she had gotten involved, and even knew him personally. The person she was holding down was taken aback. Daisy Zane didnt let go of him, but instead told Michael Jackson, Take the goods and go. Dark Radiances men immediately drove off with the loaded trucks. Daisy Zane stayed behind with Adrian Roberts and ck Fox. Afterward, ck Fox followed Daisy Zane all the way to Shallow Creek. Once there, Adrian Roberts met up with James Cooper before parting ways with ck Fox. Daisy Zane even allowed ck Fox to take two more truckloads of goods. Brother Nine, Ill be going now. If you ever need my help, just call me. Alright. Daisy Zane watched them leave. As soon as they left, James Coopers face was filled with the word gossip as he eagerly looked at Adrian Roberts. Adrian Roberts looked at him with curiosity and suddenly understood how Michael Jackson felt as someone who knew everything while watching everyone else know nothing. This inscrutable feeling was quite exhrating. Adrian Roberts coughed lightly, feigning profundity as he said, Its exactly as youve seen. Lets hurry back. James Cooper was puzzled: What Ive seen what is it? Having said that, he looked at Kent Jericho: Kent, whats going on? That was ck Fox, right? Why did ck Fox call Lady Zane Brother Nine? Howe you guys have so many more goods? Whats in these trucks? Kent Jericho cleared his throat and mysteriously replied, The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed. James Cooper: Michael Jackson looked at James Coopers unsatisfied curiosity and smiled before going to find Daisy Zane. James Cooper stood in ce, watching each of them. What happened after they separated and why were they being so secretive? Hey, you, stop! What happened to Captain Mason? James Cooper grabbed another person, What did you all encounter? Tell me about it, lets share. Were brothers, right? Share. Just tell me secretly, I wont tell anyone else Chapter 422: 374: Settle Down a Bit Chapter 422: Chapter 374: Settle Down a Bit
Trantor:549690339 They set out from Shallow Creek. Daisy Zane got in the car. Michael Jackson helped her close the car door and then got into the copilot seat himself. However, as Kent Jericho was about to sit in the drivers seat, he was suddenly pulled back. Turning around, Adrian Roberts was behind him. Roberts, Captain Roberts. I will drive this one, you go to another car.
Huh? Go, Adrian Roberts ordered. Obediently, Kent Jericho nced at Daisy Zane in the backseat and reluctantly made his way to another car. Adrian Roberts took the drivers seat, fastening his seat belt while stating gravely, That car is not easy to drive, Ill take this one. Lady Zane wont mind, right? Hearing his deliberately lowered voice, Daisy Zane didnt expose him: As you wish. Adrian Roberts rxed and started the car. There wasnt muchmunication amongst them all. For the first time, Adrian Roberts admired a woman enough to willingly serve as her driver. Yet, being a man of few words, he didnt know how to interact with women. Otherwise, he wouldnt still be single after his forties. Daisy Zane wasnt much of a talker either. After getting in the car and spending some time on her cell phone, she fell asleep. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, wasnt a man of few words, but someone very aware of boundaries. He made his standing very clear and never spoke excessively especially in front of Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. Thus, silence reigned amongst the three all the way. Until, more than an hourter, Daisy Zanes cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the car.
Moreover, it wasnt just broken C it became noisy. Daisy Zane nced at the unfamiliar number on the phone and answered it, but didnt put it to her ear. The next second, Gael Eastons roar emerged from the phone. An echo effect as if he was shouting into a loudspeaker. You brat! Tell me what you did! What have you done! Adrian Roberts nced in the rearview mirror. Gael Easton continued yelling, How dare you! You stole my goods! You stole my goods! And did it with the help of Dark Radiance. You joined forces with an outsider to steal my goods! Since when have you sided with Dark Radiance! As I said, this is for rent and living expenses. Ive only been living there for a few days, it hasnt even been a month! Do you know how expensive it is to rent in the Imperial Capital? How valuable the vis in my area are? Daisy Zanes tone had a hint of sleepiness. Gael Easton snorted, Do you know how valuable that batch of goods was! I know its valuable. Otherwise, why would I steal it?
Michael Jackson chuckled softly, Adrian Roberts gave him a nce. He had a feeling that it was a normal urrence for thisdy to aggravate people. You Gael Easton ranted, Since when did you and Dark Radiance get together! You are biting the hand that feeds you! Used to his insults, Daisy Zane said calmly, I am certain that you stand on the side of the outsider. You little brat! Where is your conscience! Gael Easton shouted louder, Who was it! Who was it that went to Continent A to rescue you! And then who was it! That gave you utmost care in the M Continent! Lazily, Daisy Zane retorted, Im certainyou went to Continent A to kill me. Adrian Roberts, Michael Jackson: And in the M Continentwhy did you take care of me, dont you know? Alsoits more urate to say you were ranting than caring. Shopie Easton! Gael Easton shouted, You really forget the royal prince who once fought alongside you after you have that fairy, Kevin rk. Daisy Zane: if theres nothing else, I will hang up now. Wait, I want to ask. Hows your rtionship with Kevin rk recently? Has there been any rift? Daisy Zane immediately ended the call. And all at once, the world returned to peace.
Adrian Roberts and Michael Jackson both cast a look behind, staying silent without saying a word. Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, also not saying anything. The three of them continued in their silence. Not until the evening, when they reached Dark Radiances heliport, did the three of them exchange no more than ten sentences. Over at the heliport, as soon as Daisy Zane arrived, she saw Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson from afar. They had bothe. Adrian Roberts drove the car directly over to them. James Cooper also followed closely to report on the situation. But Kevin rk only wanted to see Daisy Zane first. As soon as Daisy Zane got out of the car, Kevin rk walked over to her, his eyes scanning her from head to toe like a machine. To confirm whether she had any injuries or difort. After checking, he came to a single conclusion: the little girl just woke up.
Seeing him, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. When he got close, she asked, Why are you here? To pick you up, Kevin rk touched her face. You must be tired, Madam. Daisy Zane lifted the corner of her mouth with a smile. Allonzo Hobson came over and called out, Brook Sister. Daisy Zane gave him a smile. Adrian Roberts and the others standing behind Daisy Zane, waiting to report to Arthur North, all hollered, Third Master. Arthur North nced at them, then at the cars continuously moving inward. Suddenly realizing something was amiss, he asked, All of those vehicles are they all loaded? After intercepting Gael Eastons goods in Shallow Creek, they had loaded the goods onto their own cars. The cars of Gael Easton were abandoned halfway. Adrian Roberts said, Yes. It was Lady Zane who led us to snag them. James Cooper, whose curiosity had been unquenched all this time, stared at Adrian Roberts with hisrge copper-bell-like eyes in disbelief, unable to believe what he just heard. He had a vague idea of what was going on, but hearing it confirmed was another story.
Arthur North looked at Daisy Zane with a hint of a smile in his eyes. Daisy Zane said calmly, Its Gael Eastons. Arthur North: It would be a waste not to snatch. Gael Easton bites, doesnt he? Arthur Northughed. Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and showed Arthur North. An endless list of voice messages, each more than fifty seconds long. Daisy Zane hadnt listened to a single one: Hes been cursing all the way. Do you want to listen? Arthur North said gently, If I listen Ill have to lead someone to wipe him out. Daisy Zane put her phone away, nning to go back to the room to rest first and let them report the situation. But just as she was about to leave, Arthur North grabbed her hand, bent down, leaned in close to her and said, Little Girl youve been smoking. Daisy Zane: How good was his nose? It had been quite a while. Not at all. Daisy Zane lied calmly. Arthur North looked at her, squinted, and then stood straight looking at Adrian Roberts and the others. Seeing Arthur Norths gaze on them, Adrian Roberts and others immediately understood his intentions. Under Arthur Norths oppressive gaze, Adrian Roberts lips moved, about to speak, but then Daisy Zane suddenly turned to look at him. Adrian Roberts tongue slipped in his mouth, No. Michael Jackson remained silent, while Kent Jericho also said, No, no. As for James CooperJames Cooper waspletely clueless. The others who were in the know also shook their heads in negation. Daisy Zane withdrew her gaze, fairly satisfied with their responses. Hearing their answers, after some time, Arthur North let out a lightugh. Everyone lowered their heads, their hearts pounding wildly. But Arthur North didnt say anything, he just looked at Daisy Zane andughed, Madam has a fast knack for winning peoples hearts. Daisy Zanes eyebrows and eyes lifted, cool and calm, Isnt that what Third Master expected? Arthur Norths eyebrows twitched slightly, indeed it was within his expectations. Allonzo Hobson chortled, watching the two of them. Ill rest, you chat. Daisy Zane said. Arthur North took her bag from Michael Jacksons hands and said, Together, let them wait for a while. Daisy Zane: Adrian Robert: I have to keep an eye on the truck over there. Kent Jericho: I have to help. Michael Jackson: I have to clean up. James Cooper, seeing all of them have left, confused: Um, um I, I After mumbling for a long time, James Cooper didnte up with anything, turned his head and ran off straight away. Theyre all busy. Arthur North said. Daisy Zane: There is a vi near the heliport, Arthur North took Daisy Zane back to the room, as soon as they entered, he pushed her against the wall and kissed her. A gentle kiss, filled with longing. You still im you havent smoked. The room was dark without any lights on. Their senses were being magnified infinitely in this darkness. Arthur Norths deep voice was right next to her ear, totally beguiling. Daisy Zane lowered her gaze, pursed her lips, Just one. No smoking during your menstrual period. Arthur North said, Otherwise be careful, Ill lose my temper. Daisy Zane chuckled, clearly not paying attention to his threat. I mean losing my temper in bed. Arthur North whispered in her ear after a gentle kiss. Daisy Zane: calm down. Arthur North held her in his arms, tightened his arm, buried his face in her neck, and said gently, Alright, Madam. Chapter 423: 375: Alvin Phantom Chapter 423: Chapter 375: Alvin Phantom
Trantor:549690339 Kevin rk settled Daisy Zane in and went to meet Adrian Roberts and the others. They reported all the goods they had gathered, including those from Gael Easton. Then, they talked about everything that had happened along the way in great detail. Of course, they omitted the part where ck Fox handed her a cigarette and Daisy Zane smoked. Allonzo Hobson wasnt surprised anymore, Daisysyers of identity no longer shook him: Brook Sister even knows ck Fox.
Kevin rk was also calm: ck Fox dares to be so fearless; there must be someone behind him. Do you mean Brook Sister is behind him? Kevin rk didnt say anything more. Third Master the wife youve married. Allonzo Hobsonughed, This is expanding your power. Kevin rks mouth curled up slightly. Adrian Roberts and the others caught on, but they only knew the tip of the iceberg. This Lady Zane there was more to her. Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Adrian Roberts and the others left. Only Kevin rk and Allonzo Hobson remained in the room. After a while, Allonzo Hobson said, Arthur, who do you think Brook Sister is aligned with? She can get the arrest warrants from the Mountain Sea Continent and use people under Alvin Phantom, knows Logan, and can even stay at the Hundred Demons Pavilion on M Continent. All these clues were pointing to one ce. Hundred Demons Pavilion.
Since Allonzo had asked this way, he must have thought about it too. So, who is Brook Sister? Kevin rk still didnt say anything. Luke has always been on the Mountain Sea Continent, and we have seen Logan. Although we havent seen Samuels ghosts face, we know hes a man, analyzed Allonzo Hobson. That leaves Alvin Phantom, Roy Ryder, and Damian Brown. Roy and Damian are women. Alvin only heard the name, never seen. Alvin Phantoms probability is rtively high, said Kevin rk. Indeed, Allonzo Hobson agreed, Ghost King Pavilion Master has such good fortune. Kevin rk remained silent, cursing that the Ghost King Pavilion Master was old and ugly in his heart. Only then will the little girl focus only on him. Fortunately, we dont have any conflicts with the Hundred Demons Pavilion, said Allonzo Hobson. Otherwise, it would be hard to exin. Kevin rk kept cursing in his heart, not paying attention to Allonzo Hobsons words. In the room, Daisy Zane finished her bath, drying her hair while looking at the group chat messages on her cell phone. Luke: [I heard Gael Eastons goods were intercepted at the border. Its rumored that Dark Radiance intercepted them, and that Big Boss helped Dark Radiance.]
Afterward, the chat was filled with question marks. Daisy Zane really wanted to know how Luke found out. She did meet Logan the night before, but she didnt tell him why she appeared in the M Continent. Where was the leak? ck Fox But looking at the full screen of question marks, it seemed ck Fox didnt mention her marrying into Dark Radiance. Everyone knew she married Kevin rk, but they didnt know the rtionship between Kevin rk and Dark Radiance. As for ck Fox he only knew Dark Radiance, not Kevin rk. They had scattered information that was put together but notpletelybined. Logan: [Big Boss, have you been away from home for too long? Did you enter the wrong house?] Damian: [How is it that Dark Radiance deserves the help of our Hundred Demons Pavilion Master?]
Logan: [Big Boss kept telling me not to touch Gael Easton, but she ended up doing it herself.] Samuel: [Can youpare yourself to my sister?]- Logan: [Big Boss, Big Boss, Big Boss. Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? I also want the goods from Gael Easton. Are Gael Eastons goods fragrant?] Logan: [Dang, I probably wont sleep tonight. Gael Eastons goods should be really fat, right? White and shiny money.] Logan: [Big Boss, are you sure you didnt get lost with the goods? Why dont you let my brother pick you up?] Luke: [Im always ready to take someone to Dark Radiance to pick up Big Boss.] Logan: [I want Gael Eastons goods too, I want Gael Eastons goods too, I want Gael Eastons goods] Daisy Zane ignored them, turned off her cell phone, andy down on the bed. When Kevin rk returned, what he saw was Daisy Zane lying on the bed with wet hair, holding a stack of papers in her hand. He went to the restroom and got a hairdryer, then sat down next to her and touched her hair: You didnt dry your hair. Daisy Zane looked at the things in her hand without raising her head and said softly, I was waiting for you. Kevin rk smiled and plugged in the hairdryer to dry her hair for her.
His fingers ran through her hair, and she quietly waited. Lowering his gaze, he suddenly saw the obedient side of her through the cold sharpness emanating from her body. Like a little child, waiting quietly for him to dry her hair. After drying her hair, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head, then put the hairdryer on the bedside table. Only then did she raise her head and look at him, Is thisyours? Kevin rk looked at the things she was holding. It was a printed thesis. A thesis about pharmaceutical formtion. Strictly speaking, it wasnt his, It was a thesis that the dean of the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute had asked him for help with a few years ago. For convenience, he printed it out. He printed two copies C one of which he had edited and taken back to the Imperial Capital for the dean. The other unedited copy was left here. He didnte to this ce more than once a year, so the thesis was left there, untouched by anyone. I helped someone read it. Kevin rk said.
Daisy Zanes eyes held a hint of curiosity: What did you study in college? Pharmaceutical formtion. Kevin rk touched her face and added, and a minor in philosophy. Daisy Zane hadnt expected the pharmaceutical formtion part. If she hadnt seen the thesis out of the blue tonight, she wouldnt have thought in that direction. Double major. Yeah. Ive always thought you studied something programming-rted. Daisy Zane said, Soare you working in pharmaceutical formtion? Sort of. Daisy Zane didnt ask further. Being able to help someone with their thesis, which was deeply researched, meant that he was definitely not working any simple job. It might be rted to the Research Institute. If it was rted to the Research Institute, she couldnt ask further. There were too many interests and family connections involved in the Research Institute. It wasnt just about the rk and Lane families anymore, and the power involved extended beyond the Imperial Capital. Dealing with deep waters, it is also inconvenient to disclose. Daisy Zane sorted out the thesis and put it on the bedside table, theny on her side in bed: Why did you choose philosophy as a minor? Kevin rk held her hand and said softly, William Lanes grandfather, Uncle Lane. He used to hold a high position, have you heard of him? A little. Perhaps it was because of Old Master Lane that the Lane family had not only the Doomsday Hotel but also Sophie Ortiz as the Dance Association Chairman. There was little information about the others. He wanted me, Roy Madison, and L Campbell to seed him. Kevin rk said, But in the end, none of us took that path. Daisy Zane still remembered. Kevin rk had said that Old Master Lane was his mentor. Thats why Kevin rk had considered going into politics. So you I had decided to give up that path when I was in college. Kevin rk said, But I felt guilty towards Uncle Lane. I chose this majorjust to y mind games. I wanted to find somefort. Daisy Zane listened to his words and was silent for a while, saying, Its good. Hmm? Its good now. Kevin rk understood what she meant, smiled, bent down, and kissed her, As long as my wife thinks its good. Chapter 424 - 376: Don’t Mess with Me Chapter 424: Chapter 376: Dont Mess with Me Trantor: 549690339 On the day they returned to Dark Radiance from the heliport, it was the training selectionpetition of Dark Radiance. It was held directly in the martial arts arena at the Dark Radiance Base. The martial arts arena was overall round-shaped. The upper part was the viewing tform, and the lower part was the fighting arena. All the participating candidates had already been screened several times, and even if they were eliminated again in thispetition, they could still stay in Dark Radiance. However, they were not allowed to participate in the next stage of training. The next stage of training might not only be confined to the Mountain Sea Continent but also include actualbat. In the end, those selected would be under themand of Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon. And those who continue to be eliminated can also stay in Dark Radiance. So they couldpete in the Dark Radiance Base and also see Harton rk. Before thepetition started, Harton rk casually said a few words, and within less than a minute, he announced the start of thepetition. Then he went to the stands, apanied by Daisy Zane. After Harton rk sat down, he peeled pistachios for Daisy Zane and said, Thepetition format is quite simple. Well draw lots to decide who will face each other. Daisy Zane ate the pistachios and looked down, nodding, Thomas Firway is also down there. Yes, Harton rk said, In addition to the drawing of lots to determine opponents, they can choose to challenge Thomas Firway directly. If they defeat Thomas Firway, they can skip all subsequent training and directly enter the 13th Hall. Daisy Zane did not ask about the 13th Hall. After all, it belonged to Dark Radiances internal affairs, and she did not intend to inquire too much. However, Harton rk took the initiative to tell her, Adrian Roberts has twelve halls under him, each of which is responsible for different matters of Dark Radiance. The 13th Hall is directlymanded by me, and everything is reported directly to me. The hall is filled with assassins selected through the previous selections. Daisy Zane looked at Harton rk, Is Thomas Firway in the 13th Hall? Yes. Daisy Zane nodded and did not say more. Thomas Firways skills were indeed good. Of coursedontpare him to her. As thepetition began, Daisy Zane watched quietly. After a while, she heard some movement behind her and turned her head to look. She saw Adrian Roberts and Kent Jericho, along with a few others who had transported goods with them, quietly sitting behind her. Kent Jericho smiled softly and said, Lady Zane. Adrian Roberts, on the other hand, respectfully nodded at her. Daisy Zane looked at each of them, greeted them, and then looked back down. Meanwhile, Harton rk red at them one by one. If it were usual, they would have been frightened and run away long ago. But now, with Daisy Zane present, they all became braver. They subconsciously felt that Daisy Zane was their protective shield, able to block Harton rk. The group of people did notmunicate much. Allonzo Hobson was on the other side of the stands, and the absence of a talkative person made the atmosphere exceptionally quiet. After another two-person showdown, Daisy Zane said softly, His endurance is too poor. He couldnt keep up with the physical demandster. As Harton rk peeled lotus seeds for her, he smiled and agreed with her words. He had a chance to knock down his opponent earlier. Daisy Zane said with regret. His judgment was not in ce. Harton rk said. Thepetition consisted of three rounds. The winners of the first round would draw lots again for the next round. After the first round ended, someone came to report the situation to Harton rk while Daisy Zanes cell phone rang. She left to answer the call. It was Lukes call. Boss, are you still in the Mountain Sea Continent? Yeah. Daisy Zane replied with a nod. A group of unidentified forces has entered the Mountain Sea Continent. Luke said. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly. Its been a long time, the force is notrge, but they are divided into several groups. Luke continued, Their actions have always been very cautious, so the discovery took a bit longer. Is it rted to 319? Because of their cautious actions, Daisy Zane subconsciously thought of Edward Kirsten. Yes. Luke said, Although they dont have many people, their skills are excellent. Last night, a small force in the Mountain Sea Continent fought them. They were annihted. Daisy Zanes eyebrows furrowed slightly. Someone found a shattered bottle of 319 at the ce where they fought this morning, said Luke. Weve confirmed that theres an eighty percent chance the thing is from outside. Increase patrols, ordered Daisy Zane coldly. Investigate the Mountain Sea Continents power, they may have teamed up with someone. Yes. Do not cause widespread panic, said Daisy Zane. Have Damian Brown and Samuel Graye back to help you. Yes, Luke said. Be extra careful with your activitiestely, Big Boss. Im afraid the Mountain Sea Continent is not very peaceful. Hmm. After hanging up, Daisy Zane stood outside for a while. If Edward Kirsten stretches his hand into Mountain Sea Continent, the other continents may not be spared either. Edward Kirstens power reorganization has not targeted her for the time being, but it is still hidden deep, constantly sending power to various continents. The situation is more difficult than she imagined. Fearing that spending too long outside would cause Harton rk toe looking for her, Daisy Zane was about to return after standing for a while. However, as she was going downstairs, she encountered Siera Santiago. Siera Santiagos spirit had improved a lot, but she was still limping while walking. Seeing her unfriendly eyes, Daisy Zane had no intention of engaging with her. She moved aside and nned on going downstairs. But suddenly, Siera Santiago reached out and stopped her. Whats the hurry? Siera Santiago looked at her contemptuously. Are you afraid of being beaten when youe out? Are you looking for Third Master to protect yourself? Daisy Zane stopped and looked at her. Daisy Zane, you really have a way of making Third Master rk head over heels for you, said Siera Santiago. Even a person as important as his brother would be punished for a word from you. Daisy Zane let her speak. However, the more silent Daisy Zane was, the more aggressive Siera Santiago became and hurled abuses: A woman with a beautiful appearance is indeed a weapon. But how long can a skin-deep beautyst? Even the most beautiful things will get tired of it someday. So? Daisy Zane said indifferently. Sohow long do you think you can win Harton rks love with just this skin-deep beauty? Siera Santiago sneered. Good for nothing. Not only can you not help him in any way, but you also drag him down in many aspects. How long do you think hell be annoyed with you? After she said this, Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth, and a sh of ruthless determination crossed her eyes. In the next moment, she took action. Siera Santiago immediately reacted, raising her hand to block. However, Daisy Zane instantly opened her hand, grabbed her throat, and dragged her to the railing. Siera Santiago felt her strength and the speed of her attack. Her other hand counterattacked immediately. Daisy Zane effortlessly pressed down the counterattacking hand, gripped Siera Santiagos throat, and pushed half of the girls body over the railing. Factoring in the height of the Martial Arts Arena, the drop is about three stories high from their position. Daisy Zane! Siera Santiago shouted at the height. Not exerting much force with the hand gripping her throat, Daisy Zaneughed and said, Wheres your brain? If Harton rk really brought a good-for-nothing woman, would he bring her to the Dark Radiance? Siera Santiago stared at her in terror. So in your hearts, Harton rk is just a lecher, said Daisy Zane. Now it was Siera Santiagos turn to fall silent. Daisy Zane looked at her and said, Dont provoke me, or Ill really throw you down from here. Siera Santiago blinked. Daisy Zane let her go and turned to walk downstairs. Clinging to the railing with one hand and touching her throat with the other, Siera Santiago watched Daisy Zanes retreating figure until it disappeared. She regained her senses and muttered, I Im injured. Otherwise otherwise I wouldnt be defeated so quickly by you! Although they hadnt really sparred, she knew she couldnt win. However, she surely could havested longer without the injury. Siera Santiago stood there for a while before looking down. Its so high. Then she touched her throat again. This womans hand is so cold. Chapter 425 - 377: Martial Arts Competition Chapter 425: Chapter 377: Martial Arts Competition Trantor: 549690339 The second round of thepetition on the viewing tform had already begun for a while. The person who just came to report to Kevin rk hadnt left yet. Seeing Daisy Zane return, Kevin rks aura lessened a bit, and he whispered to the person next to him, Dont conflict with the people from Hundred Demons Pavilion. Yes. The person next to him responded and left. Daisy Zane heard his conversation but didnt react, continuing to watch the arena below. The morning matches could not bepleted, so some had to be postponed to the afternoon. Throughout the morning, Thomas Firway hadnt received any challenges. Seeing him being pitiful under the sun, the person hosting the matches asked before the morning session ended if anyone would like to challenge Thomas Firway. He also did some encouragement. However as a gust of wind blew across the Martial Arts Arena, carrying a deste feeling with the falling leaves No one challenged him. Daisy Zane looked at Thomas Firways increasingly gloomy face and chuckled, Third Master, are there any gender restrictions in the 13th Hall? Everyone looked at Daisy Zane. Kevin rk also looked at her, smiling and said, Im very fierce to my subordinates. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, Really? Kevin rk reached out and touched her face, The wife of Dark Radiance has the right to challenge anyone. Just a simple challenge. Daisy Zanes cold eyes looked into his, then she reached out her hand to him. Kevin rk immediately understood and took a hair tie from his pocket and handed it to her, Be careful. Mm. Daisy Zane took the hair tie, stood up, and picked up a Lotus Seed from the table. Then she jumped down directly from the two-meter viewing tform. Knowing she wouldnt be injured, but Kevin rks heartbeat still increased. This little girl. Daisy Zanended steadily, and in an instant, everyone both in the stands and the Martial Arts Arena looked over. Thomas Firway looked at her and knit his brows. As if she didnt see the many gazes on her, Daisy Zane walked toward the fighting tform while winding the hair tie around her left thumb and index finger. Then she ced the Lotus Seed on the hair tie, pulled with her right hand, and aimed at the gong used to announce challenges. Letting go, the Lotus Seed shot out and struck the gong perfectly. The sound of the gong echoes in the Martial Arts Arena, challenging Thomas Firway. Thomas Firway clenched his fists in an instant, standing still without moving. Fighting a woman and winning wouldnt bring him any glory. Allonzo Hobson whistled at this moment, looking on with excitement. On the other side, after Adrian Roberts and the others reacted, they all looked at Kevin rk. Hesitating, they said, Third Master Lady Zane Thats Thomas Firway. Dark Radiances Top Fighter wasnt just a title. Apart from Kevin rk, and the elusive Yoshua and Edward of the 13th Hall, no one else in Dark Radiance could stand against Thomas Firway randomly chosen. Kevin rk stared at the girl tying her hair on the fighting tform, remaining silent. Without him speaking, Adrian Roberts couldnt say anything else. He turned to look at James Cooper. But he found that James Cooper looked indifferent, like an old man fishing by the river, as if he had everything under control. He was too familiar with this state of being. It was the same as the day he pretended to be mysterious. Captain Mason, do not worry. Lady Zane has her own brilliant n, said James Cooper calmly. Adrian Roberts: Get lost! James Cooper behaved a bit more honestly. After tying her hair, Thomas Firway was still standing there. Of course, she knew what Thomas Firway was thinking, Why? Are you afraid? Daisy Zanes voice was light, but the disdain and deterrence in it were oppressive. Everyone looked at her curiously. Many people hadnt even seen her before and were now listening to the people next to them introducing her. But introductions aside. Challenging Thomas Firway, especially as a woman, no one was optimistic about it. Thomas Firway stared at her, Am I afraid of you? Are you waiting for me to beat you onto the stage? Daisy Zane said. Thomas Firways easy-to-anger temperament, especially when someone said his skills were bad, was so easy to deal with. Hearing her words, Thomas Firway immediately took a step forward, but then remembered that she had already married Kevin rk. He couldnt bully her. So he stopped again and looked at Kevin rk. But Kevin rk wasnt looking at him but at Daisy Zane the whole time. What? Cant win and want someone to boost your ego? Daisy Zane taunted him again. Thomas Firway felt a sudden rush of heat in his head, and everything else seemed to vanish from his sight, leaving only Daisy Zane. He immediately stepped onto the arena. However, the moment he steadied himself, Daisy Zane had already swung her fist at him. Thomas Firway quickly dodged the attack, but Daisy Zane didnt give him a chance to catch his breath, as sheunched another punch at him. Thomas Firway had no choice but to block the strike with his hand. Suddenly, the entire audience went quiet. Daisy Zanes attack speed was fast, and her techniques were fierce. Thomas Firways understanding of her changed drastically after just a couple of exchanges. He was both astonished and confused. However, Daisy Zane didnt give him any time to be astonished or confused. The spacious arena could hardly handle their intense duel. Gradually, Thomas Firway realized that Daisy Zane had several opportunities to defeat him, but she didnt seize them. Instead, she kept wearing down his stamina. She was deliberately prolonging the fight. During the next exchange, Daisy Zane kicked Thomas Firways blocking arm. When her kick failed to connect, she quickly used the momentum tounch another kick with her other leg. She had formidable core strength. With that kick, Thomas Firway was sent tumbling from the arena to the ground below. The whole crowd gasped for air. Allonzo Hobsonughed and pped. My God! Just how strong is Lady Zane? Adrian Roberts eximed, standing up, Thats Thomas Firway, thats Thomas Firway. James Cooper had heard of Daisy Zane breaking Thomas Firways ribs before, but witnessing it in person left him speechless. How did a woman aplish such a feat? Kevin rk, on the other hand, listened to the crowds praise and arrogantly sipped his tea. He looked utterly smug, as if thepliments were meant for him. From the ground back onto the arena, Thomas Firways endurance was also excellent, and he remained full of energy. After several exchanges, he suddenly realized that the style ofbat was simrthat of Truro City. He retreated a few steps, steadied his body, and said: You you are from Truro City Daisy Zane brushed the wrinkles on her sleeves, and chuckled: You finally recognized me. Without giving Thomas Firway time to think further, Daisy Zaneunched another attack. Thomas Firway dodged her hand strike, and the distance between them increased. Daisy Zane then raised her leg for a side kick from the right, causing Thomas Firway to dodge to the left. However, Daisy Zane didnt fullymit to the kick. Instead, she switched legs and immediatelyunched another kick from the left. A feint. Thomas Firway couldnt dodge in time and was struck in the ribs once again. His first thought was, Its over. Ill have to lie down for another month. Michael Jackson, who had been watching from the viewing tform, suddenly leaned forward. However, he quickly realized his overreaction and sat back down. Kevin rk noticed his movement and turned to nce at him. Michael Jackson immediately looked away. But Thomas Firway was fine, only retreating a few steps because of the kick. Daisy Zane didnt continue her attack. Instead, she spoke in a calm tone: You still havent learned your lesson after suffering once. Gasping for air, Thomas Firway touched his ribs and looked at her, unable to say a word. Daisy Zane mocked him again: What? Have your ribs be sturdier after breaking once? Can you take a beating now? Thomas Firway: Daisy Zane looked at him with oppressive eyes: If you spread rumors about me again, I wont show any mercy for Kevin rks and Michael Jacksons sake. Thomas Firway pursed his lips, gazing at her, and said nothing. She didnt say anything more either and left the arena. For two seconds, the entire martial arts arena was dead silent before a thunderous apuse erupted. Kevin rk had alreadye down from the viewing tform. Adrian Roberts and the others also followed, looking at Daisy Zane with even greater respect. Kevin rk walked a few steps forward, wiped the sweat off Daisy Zanes forehead with a handkerchief, and then said: Madam maybe you could give them some pointers for a few days? Their eyes lit up at the suggestion. Daisy Zane looked at him: You really know how to take advantage of freebor. Ill pay, Kevin rk said with a smile. Daisy Zane scrutinized him and felt that his payment wasnt as simple as it sounded. She dismissed him: Forget it. I dont want your payment. Chapter 426: 378: Attacking Dark Radiance Chapter 426: Chapter 378: Attacking Dark Radiance
Trantor:549690339 The selectionpetitions next day. When Daisy Zane woke up in the morning, Kevin rk had already been up for almost three hours. She workedte into the night revising the script. Finally, Kevin rk forcefully tucked her into the nket. Only then did she go to bed. Shey in bed a while longer, checked the time, and decided to stay at the Hundred Demons Pavilion for a few days. After washing and rinsing, she descended the stairs and just as she reached the living room, she heard themotion outside.
Curious, she stepped outside to see what was happening. Adrian Roberts, James Cooper, Michael Jackson, and a few of the hall masters were standing on the steps while Thomas Firway was sitting there, clinging to Michaels leg and howling. You guys are not fair, you knew everything but didnt tell me! Thomas Firwayined, Because of you, Third Master ignored me all day. While you were all enjoying your time in the Imperial Capital, Third Master left me in the Mountain Sea Continent, forbidding me to step into Imperial Capital. Adrian Roberts was speechless, Whose fault is that? Everyone could see it but you were the only one clueless. What? Have you been forced to eat tree bark here every day? How was I to know if no one told me? James Cooper: We all found out on our own. I dont care, I me you all. Thomas Firway was clinging to Michaels leg, And you, you also conspired with them to deceive me. Michael Jackson: How could you me us?! Adrian Roberts retorted, If not for your rumors about Lady Zane being just a pretty face, would we have initially had any doubts about her? We havent evenined about how Third Master gave all of us the cold shoulder because of you. Yet you still me us. James Cooper nodded in agreement, Miss Santiago is still having difficulty walking, isnt she? Michael, theyre scolding me. Thomas Firway protested. Michael Jackson: hes still young
Hes well into his twenties, how is he young? proimed Adrian Roberts, Being young justifies his foolishness? Thomas Firway clung to Michaels leg, pouting, and hung his head without saying a word. After a quiet moment, Thomas Firway abruptly asked, Do you think shell still talk to me if I approach her? Adrian Roberts deliberately said, I dont think so. James Cooper: The chances arent great. Thomas Firway was even more dispirited. He shook Michaels leg, Michael, please plead my case. I? I dont have that kind of influence. Michael Jackson looked downward at his own hair. You do. Thomas Firway gloomily said, Yesterday, she only showed mercy to me for Third Masters and your sake. Michael stared nkly for a moment and then blinked. Daisy Zane watched Thomas Firway, who was curled up and clinging to Michael, and slightly narrowed her eyes. She had this feeling that she had seen him somewhere before. She said, I dont think theres much of a chance either. Everyone nodded in agreement, only realizing it was Daisy Zanes voice after they had done so.
Everyone immediately turned to look at her, and Thomas Firway quickly straightened up from the steps. Lady Zane. Everyone greeted respectfully. Even the vicious look on Adrian Roberts face softened a bit. Arent you busy today? Daisy Zane asked softly. No, everyones free this morning, Adrian Roberts replied. Daisy Zane nodded but didnt say much, Wheres Kevin rk? Third Master and Young Master Hobson are in the meeting room, James Cooper said. They are discussing matters with the people from 13th Hall, Adrian Roberts added. They just left, so it may be a while, James Cooper said. Daisy Zane: . Actually, there was no need to tell her so much. Lady Zane, Third Master said to have breakfast when you wake up, Michael Jackson said. Thomas Firway nodded in agreement.
Ill eat at noon, Daisy Zane replied. Third Master also mentioned If you are bored, you can go look for him in the meeting room, Adrian Roberts suggested. Daisy Zane looked at them, and paused for a moment before saying, Have any of you ever thought that I might not be a good person. That I married Kevin rk just to steal Dark Radiances secrets. Everyone was taken aback. Daisy Zane continued looking at them and said, Ive familiarized myself with the power distribution, structure, terrain, and security system of Dark Radiance. And then With every word Daisy Zane spoke, their expressions became increasingly nervous. When Daisy Zane reached the crucial and then All ears were cocked to hear what she might do next. However, Daisy Zane nced at them, cut her sentence short, turned around, and left. It wasnt until Daisy Zane sat down in the living room that the few people outside realized that they were being yed. Kevin rks meeting was running a bit long. Daisy Zane had already had a cup of coffee in the living room by the time Lukes men came to pick her up.
And his meeting was still going on. Daisy Zane asked Michael Jackson to drive her to Dark Radiances territory, where she switched to a car from the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Lady Zane Is it really safe? Michael was worried, Mountain Sea Continent has been rather unstable recently. Hmm. Daisy said, Ill tell Kevin about it. Alright, you can ask me for anything at any time. Hmm. So when Kevin went out after the meeting, he heard that Daisy had left. He just held a meeting, and his wife has already left him. Kevin immediately called Daisy. Daisy was still on the car. She told him she was busy with work and woulde back three dayster. Kevin paused for a while and then hesitatedly asked, Three days? Orfive days?
Kevin: Daisyughed, she was never so lenient to Charles Amos: Three days. Although Kevin thought that was too long, he didnt say anything. He just said, Take care and be careful about everything. Hmm, you too. Little girl, everything should be based on your will. If you dont want to do it, dont. Kevin said, Dark Radiance is never afraid to fight and will always be by your side. Even if the opponent is Hundred Demon Pavilion. Daisy knew that Kevin would associate her with the Hundred Demons Pavilion. He said those words because he was worried the Master of the Pavilion might ask her to do something she didnt want to. If she didnt want it, she wouldnt do it. He was ready to rescue her from the Hundred Demon Pavilion and protect her fully. Such touching words, but a pity the Pavilion Master was herself, so this sentence seemed to be taken as a challenge. Daisy stayed quiet for two seconds and then chuckled, Sure. Dont worry. Managed under Luke, the Hundred Demons Pavilion has always been working smoothly. There were very few things that Daisy needed to worry about. Daisy came back this time mainly to check on the Hundred Demons Pavilion and Luke. She was here to solve the problems Luke hadnt been able to handle, if there were any. There was now another task at hand, which was to investigate the unknown powers. Damian Brown and Samuel Gray had both returned and were going out every day. Dark Radiance was also working on this same matter. They have run into each other more than once. But after they met, they all pretended not they hadnt seen each other and separated. It wasnt until Daisys second night at the Hundred Demons Pavilion that Samuel Gray returned with news. He found that the Thousand Mountain Alliance had dealings with a group of unidentified powers. It could not be confirmed whether this was the force that had previously taken action. However, the Thousand Mountain Alliance made a move that night and was heading towards the Savage Mountain. Savage Mountain is aplex and sparsely popted ce that very few people enter. It is easy to get trapped there and the mountain has venomous snakes. Hearing the news, Luke was also a bit surprised, What are they going there for? Daisys expression cooled: Dark Radiance has taken some people there for training. She had seen Dark Radiances training n; after the selection match, they were to rest for a day and then proceedto Savage Mountain. They want to target Dark Radiance, Luke replied, frowning. Daisy immediately walked towards the Weaponry Storehouse: Get a team together. Follow me. Youre going to go there yourself, Boss? Hmm. Chapter 427: 379: New Moon Chapter 427: Chapter 379: New Moon
Trantor:549690339 On the Savage Mountain was a vast forest, with steep terrain and thriving weeds. Thomas Firway led them into the mountain, simting actualbat in the harsh environment, and they probably wouldnte out for three to five days. The Thousand Mountains Alliance and an unknown force entered the Savage Mountain at this time, and there was a 90% chance they were going for Dark Radiance. With the attack, the neersckedbat experience and coordination. Dark Radiance would definitely send people into the mountain for support. With itsplex terrain, the Savage Mountain was suitable for simtedbat, and they would certainly be allowed to survive.
However, when live ammunition is used, and the strength of the Thousand Mountains Alliance was not to be underestimated, it would be dangerous for anyone who entered. As soon as Daisy Zane arrived with her team, she entered the mountain. James Collins had already entered the mountain, after Daisy Zane entered, she headed straight towards James Collins position. Apart from James Collins location, she also hacked into Kevin rks cell phone and located his position. Kevin rk had also entered the mountain. In the evening a fog rose in the forest, the tree leaves blocked the light, and it was the night of the 15th full moon. The bright moonlight filtered through the leaves and scattered into the mountain. The surrounding weeds were sometimes taller than a person, and the path underfoot was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow. It was gloomy and eerie. Daisy Zane led her team towards James Collins direction, and James Collins position was constantly moving, so they must have been engaged in battle. She could only head towards their general location. Half an hourter, she heard gunshots. After moving forward for some distance, she reached the center of the chaos.
Daisy Zane raised her hand, and the people she brought with her dispersed instantly, each joining the fight. She held a gun in her right hand and a dagger in her left. For distant targets, she used her gun, and for nearby ones, she used her dagger. Both sides were in chaos, with friends and foes around them, and they could only judge the surrounding people through the moonlight. A few minutester, Daisy Zane was clearing the surrounding enemies while moving towards James Collins. Sister. James Collins hair had turned gray again, wearing battle clothes and only a mask. Daisy Zanes attire was simr, her hair tied in a ponytail, not wrapped as tightly as before, and only wearing a mask: How did you start fighting here? The Thousand Mountains Alliance sent several groups of people in. James Collins took cover behind a tree and shot a man, We started fighting as soon as we encountered them. Daisy Zane changed her magazine and said, Leave this area to you; Ill take my people into the mountain. After you deal with them, follow my positioning. Yes, James Collins replied. Daisy Zane took a few people and continued deeper into the mountain. She went straight to Kevin rks location. The Thousand Mountains Alliance had brought in many people, and there were interceptions at almost every position; there would be a battle within a certain distance.
Dark Radiances team was either divided into several groups or was forced to leave people to deal with them due to the interceptions, so the team was scattered. They were in separate groups. After about ten more minutes, Daisy Zane and Kevin rk reached a battle zone. The fighting here was especially intense, and it was pretty much the main attack location of the Thousand Mountains Alliance. Dark Radiances participants in the selection were likely here as well. The area was vast, and the distant fires seemed to reach the sky. Lady Zane, Lady Zane? Daisy Zane heard someone shouting her name from behind, shot a person with her right hand and slit another persons throat with the left-hand dagger before turning around. It was Thomas Firway. Thomas Firway recognized the clothes of the Hundred Demons Pavilion and only after seeing that they werenting for them did he recognize Daisy Zane. He saw Daisy Zanes eyes. Unlike the usual coldness, those eyes now burst with unmasked bloodlust and killing intent.
Lady Zane, is it really you? Thomas Firway was surprised, amazed, and puzzled. Where are the people participating in the training? Daisy Zane asked in a deep voice. As soon as she finished speaking, Daisy Zanes expression sharpened, and she quickly pulled Thomas Firway behind a low mound. As soon as the two left, a few bulletsnded at the spot where they had just been standing. Daisy Zanes expression was calm, and her emotions didnt fluctuate much. She lowered her gaze to wipe the blood off her dagger and said, In a battle, no matter what you encounter, who you see, your alertness and focus must always be 100% concentrated. Listening to her words, Thomas Firway suddenly froze. A few years ago, someone had said something simr to him, but it wasnt this voice, and he hadnt seen that persons face. He had noticed just now that with his reaction, the bullets wouldnt have hit him. Chapter 428: 379 New Moon_2 Chapter 428: Chapter 379 New Moon_2
Trantor:549690339 But Daisy Zane found cover faster and managed to hide with him first. Where are the people involved in the selection? Daisy Zane asked him again when he remained silent. Thomas Firway snapped back to reality: They didnte. Daisy Zanes eyebrows twitched ever so slightly. Theres a mole among the people involved in the selection, Thomas Firway said, Third Master had discovered it earlier, so he nned ordingly. The selectees are all still at Dark Radiance Base. The mole has been caught.
Lure the enemy into the pot. Daisy Zane pursed her lips faintly. Kevin rk was truly Kevin rk. It was thought to be a move against Dark Radiance, but it was actually Dark Radiances ploy all along. Lady Zane, why are you at Hundred Demons Pavilion? Daisy Zane nced at him but did not answer. Instead, she said, Im going to find Kevin rk. You Ill go with you, Thomas Firway immediately said, The 12th Hall Master is here too. I was just about to go to Third Master. Thomas Firway followed Daisy Zane, once again admiring her exceptional skills as they fought their way across. Even though everything was under Dark Radiances control, the strength of Thousand Mountains was formidable and the unidentified enemies were all powerful fighters with plenty of experience. As a result, the battle between the two sides was extremely intense for a time. Daisy Zane and Thomas Firway eventually saw Kevin rk, but they couldnt get very close to him. The two of them took position on a mountain slope, switching out the people manning the guns.
Lady Zane, arent you going to find Third Master? As he spoke, Thomas Firway took aim and shot an enemy. No need, Daisy Zane aimed and fired. As long as she was nearby, Kevin rk would be more conscious of her. After shooting two people, Daisy Zane used the telescope to survey the situation. She first looked towards Kevin rk, taking down two people beside him. Then, she shifted her gaze to the right from his position. As the field of view of the telescope swept across, a familiar figure suddenly darted past. She paused, swiveling the telescope back. The moment that familiar figure appeared in view, a white shadow suddenly sprung out from the field of view. Daisy Zanes pupils constricted. She spun the gun around, rapidly adjusting the telescopic sight to follow the white shadow. It was a wolf, a wolf fiercely engaged in closebat. It could identify enemies, sprinting with incredible speed towards its target and pouncing them down. Its sharp ws and teeth could easily rip through human arteries. Through the telescope, Daisy Zane watched as the wolf brought its victim down, sinking its teeth into their neck. It was shockingly ferocious. Suddenly, a gun was pointed at the wolf.
Daisy Zane watched wide-eyed as a bullet skimmed past the wolfs head. She immediately searched for the shooter, her heart sinking. Thomas Firway also saw it through the telescope and instinctively cried out, Silver Pce. Upon hearing these two words, Daisy Zanes mind was filled with a surge of memories; those terrible ones she dreaded to recall flooded back into her mind. She realized her hand was sweating, her heart pounding. A truth she never couldve imagined was unearthing itself in her mind. Constant turmoil stirred within her at this revtion. But it didnt affect her. For a moment, it felt like she was two people; one was shocked at the truth, the other was fighting. Quickly, she found the shooter and took aim. The wolf, identified as Silver Pce, continued to chase after enemies. In the midst of the chaotic gunfire, Daisy Zane heard Kevin rk yelling, Silver Pce! Come back!
In such a distance, it should have heard him, but it didnt return. Silver Pce demonstrated astoundingbat efficiency, the number of guns aiming at it increased. Daisy Zane did her best to provide covering fire. Unfortunately, a bullet grazed Silver Pces hind leg. With its nimble reaction, Silver Pce suffered a ncing blow. A preliminary judgement showed it probably didnt hit the bone. But the pain in its hind leg caused Silver Pce to tumble down the slope. Thomas Firway cursed under his breath. Daisy Zane immediately threw down her gun and leaped down the slope from another side. Lady Zane! Thomas Firway wanted to follow her but knew that providing cover fire was the best choice at that moment, so he stayed put and provided cover for Daisy Zanes advancement. Simultaneously, Kevin rk was leading Yoshua and Edward towards that side. One reason was because of Silver Pce, and another was because their main targets were there. Since they were here today, neither Thousand Mountains nor the unidentified forces could escape.
Daisy Zane sprinted at an incredibly fast speed towards that direction. She ruthlessly attacked any enemy she encountered along the way. She struck with a force and speed far surpassing her earlier efforts. Despite bullets flying around her, she didnt flinch, not even slightly. Chapter 429: 379: New Moon_3 Chapter 429: Chapter 379: New Moon_3
Trantor:549690339 The ferocious wildness was identical to the wolf just now. She quickly went to the slope on the other side. Once there, she realized that the Silver Pce was still fighting below with an injured leg, biting and tearing. With its hind leg curled up, ready to attack at any moment, its fierce gaze, and wrinkled nose. Its white fur was stained with blood. Daisy Zane immediately walked down the slope while using her gun to take down the people surrounding Silver Pce.
Seeing they couldnt win, two of the attackers turned to run. Silver Pce instinctively wanted to chase them down. Daisy Zane called out to it just in time: Silver Pce! She used the masculine voice she had once used. This time, Silver Pce did not pursue but immediately stopped. Silver Pce,e here. Daisy Zane didnt continue down but ran to a temporarily safe ce a little distance to the side. And Silver Pce immediately followed her. However, after stopping with her, the wolf still looked at her somewhat guardedly. It wasnt until Daisy Zane squatted down, reached out, and called its name once more that Silver Pce approached and touched her fingertip with its nose. Daisy Zane gently whistled again. Silver Pce immediately let go of its guardpletely and walked over to her side. Its previously fierce green eyes softened.
It suddenly jumped onto Daisy Zane, like arge pet, rubbing its head against her face. Daisy Zane stroked the fur on its neck and then had it lie down, checking out the wounds on its body. Not only was it injured on its hind leg, but its front leg also had knife wounds, not very deep. It must have been injured by someone after rolling down the mountain slope. Daisy took off her coat and tore it, then used it to bandage Silver Pces wounds rudimentarily. As she bandaged the wounds, Kevin rk and the others arrived after a period of fighting. Yoshua Archer immediately called out: Silver Pce! With such anxious tone, he presumably thought that Silver Pce had died. Upon hearing the sound, Silver Pces eyes immediately turned to the source. Not until Yoshua Archer called again did Silver Pce respond. It didnt howl long, just twice. Daisy Zane immediately heard footsteps approaching. But she just kept her head down, bandaging Silver Pces wounds. When the footsteps stopped nearby, Daisy Zane first heard a t, hardly noticeable joyful voice: Silver Pce!
After that, there was a sudden silence. Only after two or three seconds did Daisy Zane hear a voice again, not believing the surprise: Martin Hanzel?! After taking off her coat, she was only wearing a sleeveless vest underneath. Moonlight shone on her skin, glistening with sweat beads. Due to the sweat, the tattoo on her left arm was fully revealed. It was a red circle with the characters Martin Hanzel inside. The red tattoo was particrly eye-catching on her fair skin. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon stared in astonishment at the two characters and the woman in front of them. Many doubts appeared in their minds in an instant. The surrounding gunfire seemed to have quieted down a little. Wasnt Martin Hanzel a man? Then who was this woman in front of them? Why did she have a tattoo on her arm? Martin Hanzel grew long hair? Not quite, even without seeing her face, her figure her curves
Kevin rk stood beside the two people; he saw the tattoo and recognized the Little Girl. Even though she was squatting and not looking up. Eloquent eyes, emotions constantly churning in their depths. Likewise, many memories, even ones he couldnt remember, images reappeared in his mind. Daisy Zane didnt look up, but she felt Kevin rks reaction too. This reaction showed that the truth was in front of her eyes. The person she respected, feared and didnt dare to remember was her husband. And for Kevin rk the person he hated, the traitor who faked death and betrayed was his wife. After wrapping the wound, Daisy Zane touched Silver Pces head, regted her heartbeat, and stood up to look at Kevin rk. Their gazes met, and Kevin rk found a trace of fear in the depths of Daisy Zanes calm eyes. He felt a sudden pain in his heart. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon were still astonished by whether she was Martin Hanzel or not, and whether Martin Hanzel was a woman. Daisy Zane looked at Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon, then lowered her eyes and said to Kevin rk, Lets deal with the immediate situation first.
Kevin rks eyshes blinked, and he took off his coat, stepping forward to drape it over Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane didnt move, but Kevin rk felt her stiffness the moment he approached. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon were even more confused now. What was going on? What happened? Put it on. Kevin rk said. Daisy didnt look at him, just lowered her eyes and put on the coat. Meanwhile, Allonzo Hobsons voice came through Kevin rks earpiece, Kevin, were almost surrounded. We can start. Adrian Roberts voice immediately followed, The east side is finished. The 12th Hall, responsible for the west side, also said, The west side is finished too. Dark Radiances men came from four directions, enclosing and driving the Thousand Mountains Alliance and that unknown force continuously toward the central area. So even if they tried to flee, there was nowhere to go. Kevin rk pressed his earpiece and said solemnly, Start.
Chapter 430: 380: Silver Palace Chapter 430: Chapter 380: Silver Pce
Trantor:549690339 At Kevin rksmand, everyone listened and obeyed from all directions. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon immediately put aside the question of Yoshuas gender and identity, responding: Understood. Even Silver Pce was prepared to strike at any moment. Daisy Zane unconsciously followed hismand too, her left hand holding a dagger while her right hand pulled out another one that was tucked at her waist. Kevin rk looked at Daisys favorite double daggers. They were formidable in closebat. Even he had been injured by her before.
His lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing, only uttering: Be careful. Daisy didnt look at him, just lowered her eyes and acknowledged. She bent down and patted Silver Pces head twice: Stay in ce. Ill call you back. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon had already taken action. Silver Pce waited for Daisy to move. As soon as Silver Pce received her signal, it rxed and prepared to standby. After that, Daisy went to find Yoshua Archer and the others. Kevin rk immediately followed her. Kevin rks adaptability had always been strong, and he had great synergy with everyone, no matter who it was. As for Daisy who wielded double daggers, he knew even better how to cooperate. With Daisy attacking in close quarters, he would take full responsibility for the distant targets. With Daisy in the distance not having to worry about anything. Kevin rk, up close, wouldnt have any concerns. Especially since Edward Darkmoons men were still setting up their guns on the mountain slope. Daisy and Kevin rk never strayed far apart. For a moment, it seemed as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side years ago.
A sniper has moved to the eleven oclock direction, said Daisy. Kevin rk immediately pressed his earpiece, reported the snipers location to Edward Darkmoons snipers, and had them handle it. After that, Kevin rk asked Daisy, Do you recognize the leader of the Thousand Mountains Alliance? Yes. Daisy locked on the face of the leader of the Thousand Mountains Alliance in the dark. Ill cover you. Understood. With that, Daisy immediately moved in that direction. Kevin rk followed closely behind. As the people of the Thousand Mountains Alliance quickly realized their intentions, they concentrated their firepower on them. Edward Darkmoon immediately protected them and fought back. Kevin rk embraced Daisy, forcefully bent her waist, and made her duck down to avoid two gunshots. As she ducked, Daisy listened for the gunmans position. When she got up again, she immediately locked onto the gunman, not far away.
She immediately threw her dagger. At the same time, Kevin rk fired his gun. The bullet pierced the gunmans brow, while the dagger slit the snipers throat, just a little slower. As the man fell, Daisy didnt look back, her eyes went straight to the leader. Yoshua Archer was already fighting the Alliance leader. It would be easy for Yoshua Archer to take down a leader with his abilities, but Daisy went over anyway. She separated Yoshua Archer and the leader. Yoshua Archer looked puzzledly at Daisy. Daisy, with only a dagger in her right hand, said in a low voice, He hurt Silver Pce. Yoshua Archer immediately understood. Silver Pce was like life itself to Daisy. Whoever hurt it, she wouldnt be able to swallow this resentment unless he was personally killed by her. Both Silver Pces hind legs and front legs were injured.
So, both legs and both arms of the Alliance leader were useless. Daisy even wanted to take his life, but Kevin rk had stopped her. Little girl, leave him alive. The lightning-fast dagger in Daisys hand suddenly stopped beside the leaders neck, leaving a shallow bloodstain on it. All other people, including the unknown forces, had been controlled by Kevin rks side. Daisy retracted her hand, wiped the blood on the dagger with her sleeve, turned around, and was about to go find Silver Pce. But she unconsciously stopped and told Kevin rk, Im going to find Silver Pce. Kevin rk looked at her without saying a word. Daisy Zane didnt move either. So when Allonzo Hobson, Adrian Roberts, and the hall masters all came over, they saw the two standing a distance apart, surrounded by onlookers. The night was silent. When James Collins met Allonzo Hobson, they stayed together, and now they followed the others over. Seeing the two of them like this, James Collins narrowed his eyes, With this situation, will the Hundred Demons Pavilion be fighting with Dark Radiance again? Allonzo Hobson: Kevin rk looked at the little girl who wouldnt move without him speaking and sighed inwardly before saying, Ill go with you.
Daisy Zane turned and walked in the direction of the Silver Pce, taking two steps before stopping again. Kevin rk stopped with her. Daisy Zane looked at James Collins and said, James Collins, take everyone back to the Hundred Demons Pavilion first. Sister, arent youing with us? After this battle, the people of the Hundred Demons Pavilion and Dark Radiance had a general idea of each others capabilities. So Daisy Zane and James Collins didnt hesitate and just spoke directly. Daisy Zanes eyes flickered gently, fearing she wouldnt be able to return for some time: In a few days. She was too indifferent, too calm. James Collins didnt feel anything amiss, so he led the people of the Hundred Demons Pavilion to leave first. Before leaving, he exchanged a few words with Allonzo Hobson: I never expected Kevin rk to have such abilities, to actually be from Dark Radiance. But hes not as strong as my sister. Allonzo Hobson: He rarely encountered someone who talked more than him. Dark Radiance members stayed to clean up the battlefield while Kevin rk and Daisy Zane went to find the Silver Pce. The two were silent all the way, Kevin rk following her quietly. Kevin rk, who always considered himself intelligent and emotionally intelligent, was a mess inside his head. Several times, he started to say something but stopped himself. As soon as they arrived near the location of the Silver Pce, it suddenly sprung out.
It pounced directly onto Daisy Zane, not applying too much force, just enough for her to hold it without falling over. Daisy Zane held it without saying a word, only lowering her head to rub her forehead gently against the Silver Pces forehead. It missed you a lot. Kevin rk said. Daisy Zane gazed at the Silver Pce without speaking. Back when she left Cold Green Vige, she went straight to M Continent. By chance, on her fifth day in M Continent, she unknowingly participated in a training selection. At that time, there were many people, and she went throughyers of screening, barely passing each time. With her abilities back then, she could be considered the weakest link among the entire team. Perhaps heaven took pity on her; although her abilities were mediocre, she managed to scrape by in every assessment. Then, along with the nearly one hundred other people who were selected, they met Kevin rk of that time. He wore all ck, not exposing any skin. His voice and demeanor were different from now, showing a drastic difference from the current him. Otherwise, she wouldnt have failed to recognize him. During that nearly year-long training, Daisy Zane felt like she was on the verge of death every day. On several asions, she even thought that one foot had stepped into the Ghost Gate Pass. And then she was cruelly pulled back out. Her body was thoroughly tormented, followed by endless psychological and drug resistance training. Psychological and drug resistance training was torturous. Once, when Daisy Zane was pushed to her limit, she fought back against the people training them. Thinking back Kevin rks rib injury had been inflicted by her dagger. Though the training was brutal, Daisy Zane had to admit that she made rapid progress. From the weakest among them, she became the strongest. In the end, when only a dozen people were left, they were thrown into a wolf den deep in the mountains. That was when the Silver Pce was tamed by Daisy Zane. And the scar on Daisy Zanes corbone was also left during the process of taming the Silver Pce. They were abandoned in the deep mountains for almost a month. That month, Daisy Zane and the tamed Silver Pce relied on each other for survival, sharing food and sleep, and fighting together against enemies. She didnt have the scar removed, unwilling to erase the only connection she had with the Silver Pce Chapter 431: 381: Nepotism Chapter 431: Chapter 381: Nepotism
Trantor:549690339 By the time they returned to Dark Radiance, it was already early in the morning. The car had been modified, and the seats inside had been changed as well. Allonzo Hobson was in the copilot seat. Arthur North and Daisy Zane were separated by a Silver Pce. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon, along with Thomas Firway, were sitting on the opposite side of Arthur North.
Allonzo Hobson and Thomas Firway didnt know the truth yet; they were merely curious because Silver Pce was obediently following Daisy Zane, so they boarded the car along with them. This Silver Pce sometimes it even ignored Arthur Norths words. They had seen this wolf being obedient in front of Martin Hanzel before. Yoshua and Edward were simply curious if the woman in front of them was indeed Martin. As the car started, Arthur North found some wet wipes from inside and wiped the blood from Daisy Zanes hands and face. Daisy Zane kept touching the fur on Silver Pces neck. Look at me, Arthur North said gently. Daisy Zane looked up at him, and Arthur North smiled at her. As he wiped the blood from under her eyes, he said, Is Madam not nning to talk to me? Yoshua and Edwards eyes had never been so wide open before. They had heard that the Bosss wife had arrived. However, they hadnt met her yet, and they hadnt expected her to be the person in front of them. Moreover, this person seemed to be Martin.
This, this, this Thomas Firway seemed to have no reaction, but Allonzo Hobson looked back, thinking the two had been quarreling. Daisy Zane pursed her lips and remained silent. The man who made her fear, respect, and be grateful to, had made her sleep. It could be said that without Arthur North at that time, Daisy Zane would not exist now. Martin, the Nameless of the Darknight Alliance, the Hundred Demons Pavilion these were all based on that nearly one year of training. Although Daisy Zane did not show it, the impact of this revtion was still significant for her. She didnt even know how to get along with Arthur North now. Seeing her not speaking, Arthur North didnt force it. After he had wiped her hands and face clean, he held her hand and looked at Yoshua and Edward, saying, My Lady. Yoshua and Edward stared at Daisy Zane, supposed to greet her, but the two brothers throats seemed to be pinched, unable to make a sound. Instead, Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, paused for a moment, and said softly, Its been a long time.
The two brothers suddenly paused, and their pupils trembled deeply. Then Yoshua muttered, F**k! Edward gasped a cold breath. And Thomas Firway nced at the two brothers suddenly. Allonzo Hobson quickly looked back as well. Someone who could make Silver Pce so obedient and who hadnt seen Yoshua and Edward in a long time. This person was Allonzo Hobson was close to the truth in his heart, but he didnt dare to approach it, his hands trembling. Ifif it was Martin Hugo rk, being a man, Arthur North was afraid for his life and had him quit. She, being a girl, and a few years agohow old was she then? Arthur Northwould be heartbroken. Andthis charge of treason Daisy Zane, noticing Thomas Firways reaction, looked at him as well.
Arthur North introduced, saying, Thomas Firway is Harrison Theodore. Daisy Zane looked at him for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly, Youve grown up. Thomas Firway looked at Daisy Zane, and suddenly, his eyes began to redden. His Adams apple moved slightly, and his mind was a bit chaotic, but still, he called out, Third Brother. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly. She didnt know her exact age. But after the four of them were selected, she didnt want to be the youngest. So she imed to be older than Thomas Firway. At that time, Thomas Firway wasnt as tall, and he wasnt as sturdy. He looked like a child. Actually, among them, Yoshua and Edward were the ones who hadnt changed their appearances too much. At that time, Daisy Zane hadpletely disguised herself as a man, cutting her hair and binding her chest. So no one recognized each other. During the training and after the selection of the four of them, she always took care of Thomas Firway more, considering his young age. So, Thomas Firway was really close to her during those times. Always calling her Third Brother. Who would have thought that the next time they met, he would be the one who despised her the most?
When they returned to Dark Radiance, it was already getting a bit bright outside. Kevin rk let Alonzo Hobson deal with the people they had brought back and had someone take care of Enamel Cannons wounds. He took Daisy Zane back to the room. As soon as they left, Alonzo Hobson, Thomas Firway, Yoshua, and Edward stood still, no one moving for a while. After standing there pointlessly for a while, Alonzo Hobson went to handle the matter first. Then, after a pause, Thomas Firway said, So she really is Yoshua covered his mouth, not letting him finish the sentence. Edward immediately whispered, Lets just keep this a secret, dont mention it again. Shes our big bosss wife, and thats it. Thomas Firway understood right away. Martin Hanzel carried the crime of treason. If pursued, even if they didnt die they would probably be crippled. Should they pursue, its their bosss wife. If not, how would they set rules and satisfy the public? Would anyone be able to leave at any time?
So, they must stop spreading this issue. Thomas Firway nodded, showing that he understood. Only then did Yoshua let him go. Then the three of them went to work separately. Back in the room, Kevin rk took Daisy Zane directly to the restroom. He took off her coat and threw it on the ground, lifting her onto the washbasin. He squeezed in between her legs, looking down at her. Daisy unconsciously moved back a bit, but Arthur North held her waist. Are you afraid of me? Arthur North asked her. The hands that Daisy ced on the washbasin clenched slowly. Little girl, look at me. Daisy didnt move. Arthur North held her chin, making her look up at him, Little girl, I am Arthur North, just Arthur North to you. Daisy looked at the gentle expression in his eyes. The terrible, cold-blooded person you once knew will never appear in front of you again, Arthur North gazed deeply at her. After a pause, he whispered, Can you not be afraid of me? Daisy looked at him. Her reactions had been calm from the start, and it was impossible to see any emotional fluctuations. But Arthur North sensed it; she was a little afraid of him. Even she was no longer close to him. Even though they were together, he felt the distance between them had grown. It took Daisy a while before she lowered her gaze, resting her forehead on his shoulder. Arthur North immediately held her, kissing her ear. The two of them held each other in silence, listening to each others heartbeat. As the time slowly passed, Daisy moved a bit and leaned on his shoulder, saying, Im sorry. I have something I must do, and I can only leave. I know. Arthur North stroked her head, You dont need to apologize. And dont worry, Ill handle everything. Daisy understood his meaning, Youre nning to bend the rules. Arthur Northughed lightly and said, Whats wrong with bending some rules for my own wife? Daisy chuckled. You are Mrs. rk, Arthur North said, No one dares to touch you. No one could touch you. Chapter 432 - 382: Return to the Country Chapter 432: Chapter 382: Return to the Country Trantor: 549690339 After some time hugging in the restroom, Kevin rk urged Daisy Zane to take a shower. When Daisy Zane emerged from the restroom after her shower, Kevin had already showered in a different room and returned. Dressed in a sling sleep dress, Daisy didnt make the New Moon tattoo on her left arm disappear as she once would after a shower; instead, she showed it openly. Kevin rk gazed at the two characters New Moon. He suddenly recalled that when the words were tattooed on her arm, Yoshua Archer had teased: New Moon, your arm is as pretty as a young girls. She turned out to indeed be a young girl. Kevin had always wanted to meet her early in life, but when they met early, he failed to recognize her. That was quite a twist of fate. Dry your hair yourself. Kevin said. Daisy Zane nodded. Are you going to be busy? Kevin sensed what she meant by you better hurry up with your stuff: What if I dont? Daisy Zane If I had known we would be estranged after just a shower, why would I go to another room to wash? Kevin lowered his gaze and spoke to her. Daisy Zane: Kevin smiled. He understood it would take time. He ced his hand on the back of her neck, walking her to his side, then kissed her forehead: You go to sleep. I have some matters to attend to. Hmm. After Kevin left, Daisy Zane couldnt sleep either. She couldnt fall asleep, and it was also daybreak. So she revised her script a bit more. An unknown force entered Mountain Sea Continent, and the security of the ce needed to be strengthened to prevent a potential disaster. The remnants of the Thousand Mountains Alliance must be dealt with. The Thousand Mountains Alliances influence in Mountain Sea Continent was not as great as Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion, but it was not insignificant. Thus, there was a significant impact on the bnce of power in the continent when it fell. Everything needed to be bnced. Dark Radiances training selection couldnt be dyed for too long either. It wasnt just Dark Radiance that was busy; even the Hundred Demons Pavilion was swamped. Power shifts were no small matter, requiring utmost attention lest they lead to a whirlwind of bloodshed. Daisy Zane only spent a day and a night at Dark Radiance. She only saw Kevin during lunch and dinner this day and night. Kevin didnte back to sleep that night either. There was no deliberate avoidance; they were genuinely busy. But it also gave Daisy Zane time to adjust. After a day and a night, Daisy Zane saw that no significant issues affected the Silver Pce. Moreover, she was afraid that they wouldnt have time to deal with the matter of her being New Moon right now. So she returned to Hundred Demons Pavilion. She couldnt stay in Mountain Sea Continent and let Luke handle everything while she idled around. She and Kevin wouldnt be able to see each other in person for the time being, but he never missed any of their daily phone calls. No matter how busy, he never missed the calls. It wasnt until a weekter that everything gradually settled down. But because Daisy Zane was dealing with some of the Hundred Demons Pavilions unresolved tasks, she was even busier than Kevin for three more days. When she finished, she returned to Dark Radiance. After spending two nights and a day there, they returned to their home country. Kevin had originally nned to stay in Mountain Sea Continent for half a month, but it was extended by a few days due to the sudden situation. Both the Easton Group and the Research Institute had pending matters for Kevin. Were going back? Daisy Zane looked at Kevin, who was packing his clothes. Not willing to part with the Silver Pce? Kevin asked. Hmm, Daisy Zane acknowledged wholeheartedly. Kevin squinted his eyes: I didnt see you being reluctant to leave me when you ran off to Hundred Demons Pavilion, little girl. Daisy Zane raised her mouth corner, leaning on the cloakroom doorway: How will you deal with my being New Moon? I think I can handle it as I please? Hmm. Although Daisy Zane was gradually adapting to Kevins identity, she hadnt returnedpletely to her old self. For example she would subconsciously respond to Kevins words. It seemed like a conditioned reflex. Kevin was unsure whether to be d or worried about her newfound obedience. So Kevin looked at her, an evil smile in his eyes, next time at night, I get to call the shots a few times. Daisy Zane: Kevin looked at her for a while, then chuckled softly to himself. Daisy Zane held back from giving him a nce, turning and walking away. Kevinughed as he caught up with her, hugging her from behind: Actually, I dont need that privilege. Mrs. rk already has it. As they packed their things and carried their luggage downstairs, the likes of Adrian Roberts and James Cooper were there, too. As soon as Daisy Zane took thest step, several people suddenly came to surround her. Lady Zane, we didnt expect you to return to your country so soon. We didnt have time to prepare anything. Please ept our small token of appreciation. Adrian Roberts opened the box in his hand and presented it to Daisy Zane. Inside was a handgun. Daisy Zane: Adrian Roberts said: This gun is custom-made, with improved range and uracy. It also has minimal recoil. Its the only one in the world. Just as Daisy Zane was about to speak, James Cooper abruptly said: Lady Zane, this dagger is my piece of war loot, incredibly sharp. The handle contains a red gemstone, whichplements your temperament nicely. Im not good with daggers, so its alwaysid in my drawer. I took it out for you, Lady Zane, please dont mind. Daisy Zane: Mine isnt as deadly; its a small hidden weapon, Yoshua Archer said. The main thing is that its fun to y with. I got it for you to have fun. Daisy Zane looked at the thing in his hand and thought that if she yed with the weapon in her country, shed probably get caught. Theyre all about fighting and killing. Mine is more practical, said Edward Darkmoon, holding a stone. This is a piece of jadeite rough stone. Theres definitely something good inside. Take it back to your country and have a set of jewelry made. If you dont want to do that, you can use it to hit someone. Daisy Zane really couldnt see how this thing was practical.F?ll?w ??ew stories at n??/v(e)lb/in(. The group of people chattered and mored as they surrounded Daisy Zane with gifts. They even started boasting about their items while still gifting them. As Kevin stood behind Daisy Zane, he turned into a background prop that no one cared about. No one paid any attention to Third Master, but they were all revolving around his wife, showering her with gifts. Did his beloved wife need gifts from these people? Kevins expression grew colder inch by inch. Finally, unable to tolerate it anymore, he whispered: Are you guys really that idle? Do you need me to find you something to do? The group instantly quieted down. Then like chased ducks, they all ran away. Kevin and Daisy Zane got into the car. Those who had just run off came back to surround them. They watched them leave. Even after the car started, Adrian Roberts shouted: Lady Zane,e visit us whenever you have time. Seems like my wife is quite popr. Kevin said. Daisy Zane had only offered suggestions to a few people during her downtime. Besides that, if anyone had questions, she simply answered them. Its because of Third Masters fame. Chapter 433 - 383: Treason and Crime 433 Chapter 383: Treason and Crime After returning to their home country, both Kevin rk and Daisy Zane had been busy. Kevin was running between the Research Institute and Imperial Capital. Daisy was either in Imperial Capital University''sboratory or discussing the script with Assistant. They discussed a plot point that might not make it through review so much that their draft was almost worn out. Within a week, they saw each other only twice. After spending more than a weekpleting things at both institutions, Kevin finally managed to free up half a month. Everything was settled that evening and he returned to the Rose Garden. However, Daisy didn''te back. Since he had handed over the Research Institute affairs, Daisy had be busy. Daisy could have gone home that evening, but after being notified by Assistant, she couldn''t leave. Thus, Kevin didn''t see her, but he decided not to go find her - instead, he called her. "I have some matters to deal with and might be away from the country for more than half a month." Kevin said after chatting with Daisy for a while. "Is it about the 319 project?" Daisy asked, her cell phone on another experimental table on speaker mode. "It''s something else." Kevin said, "It''s not a big issue, but it''ll take a longer time to deal with." Daisy nced at her experiment, which wouldn''t be done anytime soon, and gave up on the idea of seeing him: "Hmm, take care." "Alright." Kevin''s voice held a smile, "By the time I return, you will probably be joining the drama crew." "Probably." When she first had a rough idea for the script, Daisy had discussed it with Assistant. Theypleted all the preparatory work for production, costumes, and other aspects during the time she was writing the script. Moreover, Georgia Dunn was cast as the male lead, and she was the female lead. Apart from the boy Daisy found to record the show alongside her, the remaining supporting roles were all found by Assistant from previous colleagues. Thus, they didn''t have to go through the casting process. Assistant put a lot of effort into the entire production, and they didn''t use any neers for the cast. This movie was intended to earn Daisy an award, so no aspects could becking - they needed refinement and precision. As soon as Daisy''s script was perfected, the subsequent matters would be handled swiftly. "We''ll meet at the drama crew then." Daisy said. Kevinughed: "Alright." ... Without Daisy, Kevin flew to Mountain Sea Continent that night. James Cooper and Thomas Firway greeted him at the airport. When they saw Kevin, they stretched their necks to look behind him, but didn''t see anything. Kevin saw their disappointed expressions after not seeing who they wanted to and gently clicked his tongue. James withdrew his neck, and Thomas immediately lowered his head, taking the suitcase from Kevin''s hand. "Third Master, is something up? Why did youe so suddenly?" Thomas asked. "Hmm." Kevin replied. Thomas went to open the car door for him. Finally, when he started the car, he couldn''t help but ask, "Why didn''t Lady Zanee with you?" Kevin looked at him. That gaze made Thomas feel that if he said one more word, Kevin would cut off his tongue. With their eyes meeting, Thomas dared not ask any further. They remained silent all the way to Dark Radiance, and Thomas finally understood why the others missed his Third Brother so much. With Daisy around, their pressure would be much lesser. Kevin like this always made them feel like their lives were at risk at any moment. When they arrived at Dark Radiance, both Yoshua Archer and Adrian Roberts were absent, so Kevin went back to his room first. Until everyone was present. Kevin called them all to the meeting room. In therge meeting room, everyone arrived. Adrian, James, Thomas, Yoshua and Edward, 12 hall masters, and even several team leaders. It was rare for so many people to be gathered for a meeting. Before Kevin started speaking, they all looked at each other in anticipation. Each one had the word "grave" etched on their faces. What kind of major event demanded so many people? Everyone held their breaths, but Kevin was calmly reporting his itinerary to Daisy. He deliberately dyed his departure to send a message to Daisy. So... his presence in Mountain Sea Continent wouldn''t be exposed. Afterpleting the itinerary report, Kevin ced his phone on the table and looked at them, "It''s not a big deal. I''m just informing everyone that Martin Hanzel has been found." As soon as these words came out, both the informed and uninformed attendees opened their eyes wide in disbelief. The informed were shocked because if he told everyone, the matter had to be dealt with publicly - but dealing with it publicly meant that Martin couldn''t be spared from the Discipline Hall. The uninformed were shocked upon learning Martin was found. "It was my Lady." After the uninformed attendees understood what he was saying, they were shocked to their core. Their entire bodies felt numb, as if they had been electrocuted. "Dark Radiance has rules. Those who break the rules must be punished." Kevin''s calm voice conveyed an oppressive feeling, "Treason carries a penalty of 24 hours in the Discipline Hall." "Big Boss." Adrian, who had finallye to his senses, said, "There''s no need. Martin''s current status doesn''t constitute treason; the charge doesn''t hold. What... punishment are you talking about?" Edward also chimed in, "Yes, Big Boss. Although Martin is powerful, the Discipline Hall can maim or even kill him." Only if the punishment was severe and threatened one''s life would people be deterred from betraying the organization. This was the intention behind the establishment of the punishment for treason. "Rules aren''t decorations." Kevin said solemnly, "She is my Lady. As husband and wife, we are one. In the Discipline Hall, I will take her ce." Now everyone was even more agitated. "Third Master..." "Big Boss..." But Kevin nced at them, causing them to hold their tongues. He simply and quickly exined what had happened before saying, "That''s it. Dismissed." No one moved. No one had ever been able to sway Kevin''s decisions before. What''s more, this time he was setting an example for Dark Radiance''s higher and lower-ranking members. He was demonstrating that rules were rules and no one could break them - not even his own wife. Rules were not decorations. He knew that if he hadn''t mentioned it, Yoshua and Edward would have helped cover it up for him. But... he wanted everyone to genuinely submit and be treated equally. Everyone couldn''t say anything; they could only follow Kevin to the entrance of the Discipline Hall. After Kevin entered, everyone stayed outside for a while longer. "Third Master... will he be okay?" "With Big Boss''s skills... he should be fine for 24 hours." "Let''s get a doctor on standby anyway." Adrian thought for a moment before saying, "The Master of the Discipline Hall will stay here. The rest can return to their usual duties." Everyone remained silent as they left... ... Chapter 434 - 384: Going to Mountain Sea Continent Again Chapter 434: Chapter 384: Going to Mountain Sea Continent Again Trantor: 549690339 Even though the punishment was supposed to be for twenty-four hours, Kevin had been in the Discipline Hall for more than forty hours withouting out. He even locked the Discipline Hall from the inside. They could not open the lock from the outside, and the lock outside seemed to bepletely useless. Thomas Firway and his men couldnt get in, so they nned to break the door forcibly from the outside. But suddenly, Kevins voice came from inside, telling them not to interfere. With hismand, they dared not move. Moreover, the material and structure of the Discipline Hall were special, so the probability of them forcibly breaking in was not high. Everyone outside did not know what was going on inside. All they could know was that there were still vital signs inside. Its been more than forty hours. If it continues like this, big boss might be in danger. Twenty-four hours is already life-threatening enough. What should we do? He wonte out and wont let us interfere. Everyone fell silent, staring at the door of the Discipline Hall. They had always obeyed his orders, and the rest of the things. Inside the Discipline Hall was an immense, fully intelligent building. All the operations inside were done intelligently, which meant all the punishments inside were devoid of any human emotions. Whatever was set would be executed precisely. It could be as cruel as it wanted to be. Kevin sat on the ground, leaning against the wallside with one leg bent. His forehead was covered with sweat beads, and his broken hair was damp. His narrow eyes were filled with vicious redness. His sleeve was folded up, revealing a small arm filled with bruises and wounds. His ck clothes were also damaged. However, because of the dark color, the blood stains were not very noticeable. He gasped heavily, opened an ampoule, and used a syringe to draw out the medicine and injected it into his own arm. It was a medicine that could sustain his physical strength even if he did not eat or drink. The twenty-four hours was meant to give an exnation to Dark Radiance. As for noting out, it was because he was too heartbroken for his little girl, and he did not know how to ease his heartache. During these days, he kept recalling the events of nearly a year. The river had thin ice in winter when he threw so many people into it. He even once held people under the water in the river. Over and over again, they tested their physical and psychological limits. Almost all conceivable experiences were encountered. Martin Hanzel and the other three had undergone life and death training toe out alive. There was also mental training and drug tolerance training. Mental training He once made her recall some things she didnt want to remember over and over again. He remembered clearly that when the little girl was pushed too far, she fought back. After injuring him, he hit her back, and his attack was heavy. At that time, he demanded their absolute obedience. So when he took action, it was to make her obey him. Thinking back now, the little girl had changedpletely. If both he and Edward Kirsten were to be held ountable, he would probably bear seventy percent of the responsibility. And And Kevins heartache made him let out a roar in his throat. Her chances of getting pregnant were almost zero. He knew it the first time he had taken her pulse. Her irregr menstruation and severe pain were reactions caused by injuries to her body. These injuries were rted to staying in an extremely cold environment for too long, orpossibly due to the impact of drug tolerance training on her body at that time. He treated everyone as a man, so he never considered this aspect when designing training sessions. As Kevin thought about all these factors, he had difficulty breathing due to his heartache. He closed his eyes, swallowed his dry throat, and got up to enter the central area of the Discipline Hall again. Three days and two nightster, Kevin still hadnte out. Yoshua, Edward Darkmoon, Thomas Firway, and their men had worn down the ground outside with their pacing. If Third Master doesnte out soon, he will genuinely be in danger of dying. But weve been calling him and he doesnt respond. Plus, we cant get in. Even a god couldnt endure this torture. Lets call Young Master Lane over; maybe he can persuade Third Master out. Calling Young Master Lane is not as good as calling Young Master Lane. Yoshua pressed the video phone inside again: Big Boss, your body wont hold up like this. 24 hours have long passed. All the brothers understand. If you continue to drag yourself down like this, what will Martin do? There was no response from inside. Adrian Roberts led people outside to break the door. They got quite a bit of professional equipment, but they couldnt open the door. Thomas Firway watched them with red eyes, and after a while, he turned around and left. He ran to the Martial Arts Arena and called Daisy Zane. When Daisy Zane received the call, she had juste out of theboratory and was about to eat a bowl of noodles. She didnt even answer, and Thomas choked first, Third Master. Daisy Zanes face turned severe: What happened? Thomas briefly told her what had happened, and Daisy Zane didnt say a word. She hung up the phone and headed to the airport by car. Mountain Sea Continent Thomas went to the airport to pick up Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane didnt say a word all the way, and her face was horribly gloomy. How could she have believed Kevin rks lies? She should have thought of it long ago. And even after time had passed, Kevin rk still didnte out It was probably because of her too. All those experiences were voluntary, and if she could be where she is today, it was all thanks to Kevin rk. But the two people treated this matter from different standpoints. She was full of gratitude. But all Kevin rk had was guilt and heartache. When they arrived at Dark Radiance, Daisy Zane headed straight for the Discipline Hall. When she faked her death and betrayed them, they didnt know about Dark Radiance or the Discipline Hall. At that time, betrayal meant death. There werent so many twists and turns then. Lady Zane. Martin. Everyone was surprised for a moment, and then looked at Daisy Zane as if they had seen the savior. Daisy Zane watched Adrian Roberts and the others trying to break the door, making it all flowery. There were also hackers trying to crack it. If she had known that the Discipline Hall was an intelligent building that could be hacked, she would have paralyzed it while still in the country. How is he? Daisy Zane asked in a deep voice. Not quite sure, but we can only detect that there are still vital signs. Edward Darkmoon said, You can talk to the inside from here. Daisy Zane went straight over, pressed the call button, and said coldly: Kevin rk, open this door within three seconds. Once I hack it and get in, it will be troublesome. Edward Darkmoon was closest to her, and he hadnt clearly transitioned his identity. Hearing her talk to his boss like this, his body hair stood up. As soon as her voice fell, the door sounded, and the lock opened. Everyone: !!!!!!!! Daisy Zane was the first one to enter the Discipline Hall. After seeing the equipment inside, her heart trembled for a moment. Kevin rk was standing in front of the equipment, barely able to stand even with the support of something nearby. There was no better way to describe Kevin rk than covered in wounds. Daisy Zane took a gentle breath, walked up to him, and put his arm over her shoulder. As soon as she did, Kevin rk involuntarily pressed down on her. Daisy Zane steadied him, not nning to help him outside. Because the doctors outside wereing in. Little Girl, why are you here? Kevin rks voice was hoarse and weak. Daisy Zane didnt answer him. Kevin rk leaned against her: Dont worry, Im fine. I know my limits. Daisy Zane still didnt answer him. She and the doctor put him on a stretcher together. When Yoshua, Adrian Roberts, and the others came in, the first thing they saw was Kevin rk, and the second thing they saw were the bloodstains all over the floor of the Discipline Hall. There were different colors, some dried up, and some fresh. Especially seeing Kevin rks wounds all over his body, they all seemed to have developed aphasia, and no one could speak. Chapter 435 - 385: Is this the restraint you’re talking about? Chapter 435: Chapter 385: Is this the restraint youre talking about? Trantor: 549690339 Kevin rks injuries were too severe; his skin was bruised, and there were multiple wounds, some deep and some shallow. The left forearm bone had a fracture. Due to the heavy impact, his liver was bruised. There was also some minor bleeding in the stomach. The injuries were very serious, and he needed a good recuperation. Otherwise, it could lead to some permanent injuries andplications. Exhausted from mental and physical strain, he had been unconscious for three days and nights since leaving the operating room. During this time, Daisy Zane had been staying with him in the hospital. She had been personally in charge of changing and applying medicines to his wounds. Lady Zane, you should go back and rest. Well take care of things here, said James Cooper. Im fine, she replied. James watched her caring for Kevin. Ever since Daisy arrived at Dark Radiance and saw Third Master in such a condition, she tamed down her usual demeanour by not crying, not making a fuss, and barely talking. Besides the oppressive, gloomy and hostile atmosphere that surrounded her, her reactions appeared too calm. So calm that they hardly experienced her love for Third Master. In fact, after Third Master was brought out of the operating room and the doctor informed them of his condition, she asked if they could paralyze him. This frightened the doctor, who thought she was some sort of terrorist trying to harm Third Master. However, she remained by his side throughout the three days, handling everything personally. Lady Zane, heres breakfast, James said as he ced the breakfast tray down. Alright, Ill eat in a bit. As Daisy was wiping Kevins other hand, Kevin suddenly tightened his grip on her fingers. She paused and looked up at his face. A few secondster, Kevin opened his eyes. With a weary and hazy look in his narrow eyes, he faintly said, Little girl, go eat first. After he spoke, a violent hostility surged in Daisys calm eyes. On the other side, James sensed the sudden rise of a killing intention. He quickly turned to look at Daisy and saw her staring at Third Master. He hurriedly looked at Kevin and realized he had woken up. Surprised, the hostility in Jamess side subsided as he took a couple of steps towards the bed, Third Master, youre awake? Kevin seemed not to hear him, only looking at Daisy. After a couple of seconds, she let go of his hand, pressed the bedside call button, and started walking out of the room. Kevin instinctively wanted to follow her. But before he could move, Daisy abruptly stopped and said, If you move, you wont see me tomorrow. Kevin immediately stopped. The doctor arrived for a check-up as Daisy listened outside the ward. All the medication for Kevin came from the Research Institute. His wounds, bruises, and even bone fractures would heal at least twice as fast as usual. Since he had woken up, there was no further danger. All he needed now was proper care and recuperation. After the doctor left, Daisy waited a while before re-entering the ward. James raised the bed a bit, and Kevin leaned against the head of the bed, seeing her enter, he smiled, Little girl. Daisy sat down beside the bed, her hands in her pockets, and asked, Feeling better? James tactfully left the room and closed the door for them. Dont worry, I know my limits, he replied. Daisys gaze swept over him, Is this your idea of limits? How much longer were you nning to stay in there if I didnte? Little girl, he began. The doctor said your liver is bruised right now, and if it had been worse, it would have bled and required a partial removal of the liver, her voice was soft but stern, Kevin rk, is this what you called knowing your limits? Kevin stared at her without a word. Daisy took a deep breath, knowing she shouldnt be angry with a patient, but not hitting him already took quite the restraint for her. Otherwise, she would have to leave this ce. But if she left now, Arthur North would definitely follow her, and in the end, it would still be Kevin rk troubled by this. She didnt say anything more, and the ward fell silent. Silence spread, centering around the two of them, spreading to every corner of the ward. Arthur North looked at her for a moment and carefully called her name softly. Daisy Zane ignored him. With no one to talk to, Third Master rk looked pitiful. A few secondster, he struggled to move his hand to reach for something at the head of the bed. But he couldnt twist his body, and his hand couldnt reach it. He tried twice but still couldnt reach it. Seeing this, Daisy Zane asked, What are you trying to do? It hurts. Call the doctor, Arthur Norths tone was t, with a hint of what seemed like grievance. Daisy Zane pursed her lips and immediately got up to help him press the call bell, but before her hand touched the call bell, Arthur North suddenly held her arm with his good hand, pulling her back onto the bed. Fearing she would crash into Arthur North, Daisy Zane could only use her hand to brace herself by the bed. But Arthur Norths hand immediately went to the back of her neck, pressing her closer to him. You Daisy Zanes words didnte out as a curse, Arthur North pulled her toward him and kissed her directly. Daisy Zane was stunned for a moment, and then tried to get up, But Arthur Norths strength was too great, and she didnt dare to resist forcefully for fear of hurting him. In the end, she helplessly bit his lip. She bit hard, and Arthur North shrank back a little, but didnt let go of her, instead kissing her even tighter. It wasnt until Daisy Zane stopped resisting that his hand moved from her neck to her head, his fingers weaving through her hair, seemingly consoling her. But there was suddenly a noise at the door. Just the sound of the door opening made everyone feel tense. Daisy Zane moved to get up, but Arthur North still didnt let her go. Then she heard Thomas Firway enter the room, Third Master! I heard you woke up, I As Thomas Firway entered and saw the scene, his mind went nk, but his first reaction was to quickly turn around and block Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon froming in. Then he hurriedly closed the door again. Whats going on? Because of the sudden retreat, Yoshua stepped on Edwards foot. Edward was so in pain he could barely stand, leaning against the wall for support. Third Master just woke up, and theres a lot to talk about with Third Brother. Its not right for us to go in at this time, Thomas Firway said, his face flushed. Yoshua and Edward stared for a moment, and then both understood what was going on. Then the two brothers silently sat in the chairs outside the ward. Thomas Firway stood for a moment before sitting down as well. Inside the room, Arthur North finally let go of Daisy Zane, kissed the corner of her mouth a couple of times, then raised his thumb to wipe the crystal clear saliva from her mouth. Daisy Zanes hand was propped against the bed, not getting up yet. She stared at Arthur North, her expression ready to fight him at any moment. Arthur North also looked at her, stroking her face: Dont be angry, I know I was wrong. Daisy Zane stared at him for a while before lowering her gaze and sitting down at the side of the bed. No need to say insincere words. No, I really do know I was wrong. Arthur North held her hand gently, squeezing it, Dont be angry anymore. These words were indeed sincere. He deliberately left a half-month gap so his little girl wouldnt worry. But not only did he make her worry, but she also ended up taking care of him for three days here. He could easily guess that it must have been Thomas Firway who called her toe. If he had known, he would have sent Thomas Firway away beforehand. These people were too concerned about him. How could he really risk his life like that? He still had his wife to apany him, so he had to be measured. It was only three dayspared to her year of training. So, what was thispared to that? Chapter 436 - 386: He Doesn’t Understand Chapter 436: Chapter 386: He Doesnt Understand Trantor: 549690339 Due to minor stomach bleeding, Kevin had to be extra careful with his diet. So after he woke up, James went to ask the specially invited recuperating team from the domestic to cook for him. When he took the meal over to him, he saw three sullen figures sitting outside the door. They all looked depressed. The shock of his brother who once fought alongside him turning into a woman and bing, his own bosss wife was already massive. And on top of that, they also encountered Even though they all had good psychological quality, it was still a bit hard for them to bear at this moment. What are you guys doing here? The three of them looked up at him but no one spoke. James nced at the confusion in their eyes, feeling inexplicable. Ignoring the three of them, James knocked on the door. After waiting for a bit, he pushed it open and entered. Thomas Firway watched his knocking action Didnt he have long arms? Why didnt he knock just now? After James went in, and noting out again, the three of them immediately got up and followed him inside. Third Master, have something to eat. As James spoke, he ced a small table on the bed and then ced the food on it one by one. Not only was there food for Kevin, but also for Daisy. James had brought Daisy her breakfast earlier in the day, but when he saw that she hadnt eaten, he thought it must have gone cold, so he brought her a new set as well. After everything was set, James looked at Kevin for a moment. Suddenly noticing his broken lips, he blurted out, Third Master, what happened to your lips? The three people behind him all looked at Kevins lips. His lower lip was cracked, and it was a little swollen. After the four of them finished examining his lips, they all involuntarily looked at Daisy. This wifeis quite fierce, huh? Daisy first nced at Kevin, who had a smile in his eyes, then looked up at the four of them. Her gaze seemed to say: What are you looking at? It also seemed to say: You know too much, shes going to kill off the witnesses. Thomas Firway averted his gaze first. James realized btedly that hed been too quick to speak. He coughed lightly and said, Third Master, Lady Zane, enjoy your meal. Ill be right outside if you need me. He left without saying another word. The other three didnt say a word and followed him out. It wasnt until they were gone that Daisy finally withdrew her gaze. Kevin pinched her fingers and said, Go back to Dark Radiance and rest after we finish eating. Theres no need, Daisy said. Theres a bed here, its just as good for resting. Little Girl You, a patient, have no right to negotiate with me. Kevin: Eat. But I Your injured left hand. Daisy instantly saw through his intentions, ced his right hand on the small table, and stuffed the spoon into it, Eat. Kevin looked at his left hand and then at his right hand. Impressive, you two. Couldnt you have swapped injuries? While they were eating, Daisys cell phone rang. They both nced at it, the caller IDbeled: Little Girl. It was Olivias call. Daisy immediately answered, and as soon as it connected Olivia spoke, Why didnt you reply to my message? Relieved to hear she was fine, Daisy let out a breath, I havent checked my phone. Whats up? Kevin listened to Daisys voice softened by a couple degrees, squinted his eyes, and then began grinding his teeth after a while. My mid-term test results are out. Olivias tone was quite proud and haughty. Yet it also carried a certain calmness. Daisy chuckled, How did you do? Imperial Capital Lane Family. William watched his sister dialing Kevins wife as soon as she got her results, all the while maintaining a calm and collected demeanor as if she was just informing her of the news. Today was Sunday, and as soon as the results were out, Skyler Thomas informed William about it right away. Skylers voice trembled with excitement, while William was calm. He knew his sister too well. It was only a matter of whether or not she wanted to do well on the exam, not whether she was capable of it. That was the score she should have received in the first ce. Buthe was quite curious about why she suddenly took the exam seriously. He had tried numerous times, put in so much effort, and sent her to Senior Three several times without changing her mind. Yet, out of the blue, she obeyed and did well on the exam. Of course, Im the grade topper, Olivia said with a smirk. 745. Daisys cell phone volume was quite loud, so Kevin heard almost everything. He thought to himself: Whats there to brag about with a 745? He didnt take the College Entrance Exam; he was directly admitted. Daisy smiled: Not bad. Ill have some banners prepared in advance. After your college entrance exam, Ill hang them all the way from school to the Lane Family home to wee you. Thats so tacky, Olivia said, disgusted. I dont want it. Then what do you want? My birthday is at the end of the month, Olivia replied, There will be a charity auction evening party at the Doomsday Hotel. You shoulde. On the 30th? As soon as Daisy finished asking, Kevin offered her some shrimp to eat. She hesitated for a moment, nced at Kevin, and opened her mouth to eat it. Yes. Alright, Daisy said, Ill make time for it. What kind of gift do you want? Isnt it obvious? Olivia replied. Anything but the banners, just as long as you show up. Okay. After hanging up, Daisy finally started eating. Kevin served her some food: The Lane family holds a charity auction on Olivias birthday every three years. Outsiders only know about the charity auction every three years but dont know its Olivias birthday on that day. Hosting the charity auction was like offering a blessing to Olivia. It was enough for the family to know that, and there was no need for it to go public. Thats why it was never announced. Daisy replied, It must be quite lively that day. Yes, Kevin said, A rarerge-scale socializing opportunity. Do you go back for Olivias birthday every year? Kevin shook his head: asionally. Daisy nodded: I suppose you go to Charlottes birthday every year? Caught off guard, Kevin choked: Not really. He indeed had not attended Charlottes birthday during the early years of starting the Easton Group. So it wasnt a lie. Dont get worked up. I didnt say anything else, Daisy said calmly. Kevin felt his heart skip two beats. This was even more terrifying than saying something else: Mydy, shes just my niece. Shes no different in my heart than Lily. To me, shes just a junior rtive. Daisy raised her eyebrows: Third Master, if you exin further, it means youre guilty. Kevin immediately shut up, took a big bite of food, and stuffed his mouth. Daisy raised the corner of her mouth. Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital. William felt that Olivia became much happier after talking on the phone with Daisy. Watching Olivia humming a tune while going upstairs, William narrowed his eyes. A 745 score that she casually mentioned to him, howe she was so happy after telling an outsider? When did his sister open up to an outsider? Kevins wife Was it possible that she casts spells on people? Why did everyone who got close to her end up liking her? When Xavier mentioned her, his words were full of admiration and respect. Hugo praised her as well. Kevin? He practically blossomed! And his sister his sister made him feel as if she was being taken away from him. Was it worth it? All for a woman? Was it worth it? He couldnt understand it, not for a million reasons. Chapter 437 - 387: 319 Chapter 437: Chapter 387: 319 Trantor:549690339 Dean Yue, if theres another time, please let someone else guide her instead. Kevin rk leaned against the head of the bed while taking the call. He spoke respectfully, but there was no sugarcoating in his words. The dean of the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute personally called Kevin rk to ask for leave for Nicholson Amos. Only then did Kevin rk find out that Nicholson Amos had abandoned her experiment to take care of her own business. After missing two conferences the year beforest and inexplicably disappearing for half a year, she now had the Dean asking for leave on her behalf. She really was something. She does have an urgent matter to attend to, said Ezekiel Santiago. Dean, shes very capable, and she doesnt need me to guide her at all, said Kevin rk. Theres no need to trouble me with her. In order for her to get a pass to enter the research institute, she needs to be guided by a professor, Ezekiel Santiago said directly. I really dont have the time, otherwise I wouldnt want to bother anyone else. Kevin rk: And then Ezekiel Santiago added another sentence: Ah, Ill personally guide her. Nicholson Amos has already graduated, and she is now in the research institute. This was insinuating that he had failed his courses. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes: Dean, you entrusted her to me, so Ill naturally decide whether she meets the qualifications for the research institute. Ezekiel Santiago: If it were only about her abilities, Kevin rk would have noints about Nicholson Amos. But regarding her attitude, he couldnt guarantee it. Experiments require a meticulous attitude and persevering spirit. He couldnt see that in her. At least people who could enter the research institute wouldnt miss events without reason, disappear without reason, or make mistakes in their report formats several times. He couldnt guarantee that in the future, this Nicholson Amos wouldnt bring this attitude into her experiments. Even geniuses need to have the right attitude. Otherwise, its just a ticking time bomb. Ezekiel Santiago fell silent for a moment and said: Youre so old-fashioned. Kevin rk: Come on, Im personally asking for leave. Show some respect, pleaded Ezekiel Santiago. Onest time. As soon as these four words were spoken, Daisy Zane entered through the door. Kevin rks expression instantly eased. Ezekiel Santiago said: Alright, its settled. After hanging up, Kevin rk looked at the food box and the folder in Daisy Zanes hand: How did youe back so soon? I took a quick look at the Silver Pce and came back. Daisy Zane ced the folder on one side. I ran into James Cooper on my way back, so I brought the food along. Kevin rk propped up the small table himself, took the food box, and arranged the food on the table: I didnt get yours. I ate at Dark Radiance. Kevin rk scooped up a bowl of soup, took a sip, then scooped a spoonful and offered it to Daisy Zane: Try it, it tastes good and its not hot. Daisy Zane drank it down. When the meal was over, one-third of the food had ended up in Daisy Zanes stomach, She was chatting with Luke, Morris, Charles Amos, and Marsh Turner, who scored three hundred plus in his grades. Kevin rk kept sending her whatever he found delicious in his meal, and she would simply eat them without even looking up. After finishing the meal, Kevin rk cleaned up, and looking down, he saw her reply to Charles Amoss message: [Its not me, its your Uncle rk.] And the message Charles Amos sent was: [There are 200 dors missing from my ount.] Kevin rk: Noticing the gaze, Daisy Zane looked up at him. Kevin rk smiled and said, Ive been wronged. Adapt to it. Daisy Zane said calmly, There will be many more of these situations in the future. Kevin rk chuckled softly. Daisy Zane handed him the folder that was just next to her: This is Captain Masons work report. He has something else to do, so he asked me to bring it to you. rk took it, flipped through it and said, Its about that unidentified power. Do you want to take a look? Daisy Zane epted it, and also looked it over. Adrian Roberts identified the unknown power in question. Indeed, they had brought 319 in, and they had received orders to ally with the Thousand Mountains Alliance. They wanted to take control of the Mountain Sea Continent. The first step was to deal with Dark Radiance or the Hundred Demons Pavilion. As it happened, Dark Radiance was holding a selection, so they sent people to take part in it. If rk hadnt discovered the mole, if Dark Radiance had suffered a heavy blow, the next step would have been to target the Hundred Demons Pavilion. All of this was for the experiment involving 319. Daisy Zanes hand gripping the folder tightened involuntarily. rk held her hand. Daisy Zane looked at his hand and released some of her grip: Theyve been experimenting on humans all along. rk looked at her and gave a soft hum: From what we know about 319, it enters the human body and affects the cells, so different reactions ur in different people. As he squeezed her hand, he spoke slowly: Based on the transaction location in Red Cliff Vige and the subsequent discovered transaction locations, the confiscated various reports on the reactions to 319 show that different people react differently to the drug. However theres no pattern to the reactions. The homeless man in Truro City. Daisy Zane said. Based on the autopsy report of the homeless man in Truro City, the 319 dose he was injected with was toorge, his body couldnt withstand it, and he died abruptly, rk exined. The current 319 and 319(i) have strictly controlled doses. The 319(i) dose is slightlyrger than the 319 dose, but neither pose a threat to life. Daisy Zane said, Theyre looking for people who can adapt to the drug. Yes, rk replied. Theyre targeting the Mountain Sea Continent, and they will definitely target other continents as well. After all, the living environment and physical condition of the people vary in each ce. Theyre expanding the scope of their experiments, as well as the type of experiments. Daisy Zane knew Edward Kirsten was insane, but she still underestimated the extent of his madness. After a moment of silence, Daisy Zane looked at rk and asked, What do you think 319 is researching? rk looked at her and asked in return, What do you think? Eternal life, Daisy Zane replied. rks eyshes trembled, and it seemed that he understood why she had gone to Imperial Capital Universityshe was researching 319 on her own. Moreover, it seemed that she had single-handedly done what the entire research institute was investigating. Originally, they had no clue about 319. They couldnt break down theponents, and even experiments with mice yielded no results. It wasnt until the suspected 319 discovered inside the Truro City homeless mans body and issues with the doses of 319 and 319(i) that the research institute began to mimic the substances detected in the homeless mans body and adjust the doses ordingly. Through arge number of experiments and observations, they discovered that it could prevent unstable cells, such as those that age, die, and regenerate in a day or two, from aging. These cells remained in a constant state of freshness and vigor. However, such changes in various cells were too much for a living body to withstand, leading to rapid death from the drug. Edward Kirstens current approach seemed to be a desperate attempt to experiment on humans using adjusted doses to produce the desired results. Therefore, they had to find Edward Kirsten and hisboratory as soon as possible. After another period of silence, Daisy Zane said, Kevin rk, can you hypnotize me? Hearing her words, rks eyes tensed. He knew she wanted to recall Edward Kirstens appearance. Ordinary hypnotists have no effect on me, Daisy Zane said as she looked at him. You trained me, so you should know best how to hypnotize me. Chapter 438 - 388: Hypnosis Chapter 438: Chapter 388: Hypnosis Trantor:549690339 Because of hypnosis, the two of them were at loggerheads for three days. From Hospital Deadlock to Hadson. Thinking of Edward Kirsten would definitely remind Arthur North of some painful things. Kevin rk couldnt bear to do it, unable to make the move. But Daisy Zane insisted on forcing him to make the move. So the two continued to be in a stalemate. The specific manifestation was Daisy Zane could not hear what Kevin rk was saying. Daisy Zane had always been in the hospital apanying Kevin rk, and they had a very harmonious rtionship, except Daisy Zane did not respond to every word Kevin rk said. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon came to report their work, and they watched their big boss say a word to Martin Hanzel with wide eyes. Martin Hanzel seemed not to hear it and didnt react at all, just lowered his head and carved a flower on an apple with a knife. Because of herck of response, both Yoshua and Edwards hearts jumped into their throats. They were afraid that their big boss would immediately give her a beating until she listened properly. However, they saw Kevin rk silently bearing the cold violence, not even daring to breathe. So after Yoshua and Edward left, the two brothers remained silent for a while. Yoshua said, Is marrying a wife so scary? I dont know, but it looks like it. When have you ever seen our big boss so aggrieved. Its so terrifying, I dont want to get married. This situation continued until Kevin rk was discharged from the hospital and returned to Hadson. After that, Daisy Zane went to see the Silver Pce and never returned. Kevin rks phone calls went unanswered, and his messages received no reply. In the end, it was Thomas Firway who told him that Daisy Zane had gone to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Immediately, Kevin rk felt as if his heart had been split in two. After that, he made several more phone calls but still got no answer. Like this, Kevin rk waited with his cell phone for half a day for a message. Seeing no response, hepromised and sent Daisy Zane a message: [Little girl,e back, I agree.] He still didnt get a reply, but before going to bed that night, Daisy Zane returned to Hadson. The moment Kevin rk saw Daisy Zane, the pampering and helpless look in his eyes could have drowned her directly. Looking at her in silence for a while, he said, Why did you run away from home? Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows: Cant I return to my own home? Kevin rk hugged her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead: Of course you can. But Madam not answering phone calls and messages is terrifying. me me? me me. Kevin rk tightened his arms around her slightly, Madams chess moves are too advanced, I willingly admit defeat. Daisy Zaneughed softly and said faintly, I told you, its easy to deal with a man who likes you. Kevin rk: Naughty girl, just bully me. Daisy Zane didnt say anything further, thinking to herself: Bullying you is much more fun than bullying Charles Amos. In the evening, after Kevin rk finished blow-drying Daisy Zanes hair, she sat in a chair and turned her head to look at him: Try tonight? Kevin rk was standing behind her. After hearing her words, he leaned down and looked at her meaningfully: Is Madam this proactive today? Daisy Zane hooked her hand around the belt on Kevin rks sleeping robe and pulled him forward, Injured man, can you handle it with your body? Kevin rk squinted his eyes and chuckled after a moment. With this softughter, Daisy Zane seemed to envision her own miserable condition in the next few hours. When Kevin rk walked in front of her, intending to pick her up, she immediately grabbed his wrist: The doctor said you need to rest. It wont affect me. Kevin rk smiled. Daisy Zane looked at the ster cast in his left sleeve and promptly stopped him: I meant trying hypnosis. Kevin rk pretended not to hear and insisted on picking up Daisy Zane. But Daisy Zane held on to his right wrist and did not let go: Two options, either try hypnosis or go to sleep now. I want to choose the third one. Daisy Zane looked at him. As the two looked at each other for a while, Kevin rk finallypromised and reluctantly spat out two words: Sleep. But can I carry you back to bed? A powerful man shows weakness to you. A powerful, good-looking man shows weakness to you. A powerful, good-looking man with a good voice shows weakness to you. Daisy Zane hesitated for a second and then raised her hand to hug his neck. Kevin rk ced his right hand under her knees and picked her up. He kissed her on the tip of her nose and then carried her to the bed. As the twoy in bed, Kevin rk held her in his arms, letting her pillow on his right arm, and gently patting her back with his left arm. Since returning to their home country from Hadson thest time, the two had not snuggled together and slept for a long time. Chapter 439: 388 Hypnosis_2 Chapter 439: Chapter 388 Hypnosis_2
Trantor:549690339 Busy with returning home, once again we headed for Mountain Sea Continent and Kevin rk was injured again, in the hospital, our beds were always ced side by side. Arm. Daisy Zane said with her eyes closed. Is it a bit stiff? No. Daisy Zane responded, Be careful.. Its fine. Kevin rk gently patted her as he watched her long eyshes, after a moment he said, Charles adoption has been finalized.
Youre now his legal father. Kevin rk gave a gentleughter, saying warmly, Have you noticed Charles looks more and more like me?. You should thank your lucky stars Ive witnessed Charless growth from a cell to his birth, and then growing up so big. Daisy Zanes voice gradually blurred, Otherwise, I would have reason to suspect the rumors about Third Master rks promiscuity. Hes also like you, his little expressions are all very simr to yours. Daisy Zane felt Kevin rks hand moving from her back to her waist. The feeling magnified, she couldnt help but be attracted by Kevin rks rhythmic pats. She intended to ask him to move his hand to a different spot, but before she could speak, Kevin rk suddenly said something else. Was Charles very cute when he was a child? Daisy Zane felt his hand while speaking: When he was a child he was ugly when he was born, wrinkled and all red. Kevin rk looked down at her face. Later on, he began to look a bit better. Daisy Zane continued, Or maybe its because I view him through rose-colored sses since hes my child, I always feel like hes very good looking. In Continent A, was it always you who took care of him?
Almost. Daisy Zane said, When Jack was around, I would take care of him whenever I had the time. Later on, it was entirely Wilton Edwards and I who took care of him. Wilton Edwards he has been taking care of you all along? Daisy Zanes voice was still blurred, but now had a robotic undertone: Yes. From the time I remember Wilton Edwards has always been taking care of me. You could say he watched me grow up. Listening to her voice, Kevin rks hand on her waist stopped for moment. He dared not move, looking down at Daisy Zane. His lips moved slightly but no words came out. After a while, he pursed his lips and asked softly, What about Edward Kirsten? Does he like Charles? Daisy Zane was silent for two seconds: No. What kind of person is Edward Kirsten? Kevin rk asked. He Daisy Zane knitted her brows slightly and was silent for a while: He treats me very well, really well. Harris Kirsten says he suffers from emotional detachment, that he has no feelings for anything or anyone. To him, there is only right and wrong. For instance taking care of Harris is his responsibility. But he treats me well, and he likes me a lot. Kevin rk quietly listened to her. He cares a lot about every aspect of my life, and is very supportive of what I want to learn. His care for me is thorough. Daisy Zane said, But hes a bad person, he kills. He is crazy, he kills anyone. He even wanted to kill Charles.
Daisy Zane knitted her brows tightly, her hand clutching Kevin rks clothes suddenly tightened. She murmured: Killing is wrong. I I am I am Grandfather said said I, I am supposed to protect everyone, I cant kill. Daisy Zanes words were disconnected, barely audible. Kevin rk clenched his fingertip, forcing himself not to touch her. He paused, then slowly guided her, Do you remember the first time you met Edward Kirsten? Her grip on his clothes loosened slightly: I remember. At the hospital. March 19. The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was him. He said he found me and named me Enigma. Kevin rks fingertips trembled slightly as he looked at the person in his arms, following her memories he asked, Did you see his face the first time? Yes. Whatwhat did he look like? Kevin rk asked this question with gritted teeth. Hehe. Daisy Zane tightened her grip on Kevin rks clothes again, sweat forming on her forehead, He Daisy Zane frowned, it suddenly seemed as if many voices poured into her ears. Little Enigma, do you miss your brother? Little Enigma, get up. Youre beingzy again. Look, these are the gifts your brother brought for you.
Little Enigma, your brother tells you, your brother has not only killed Mason Daviss family, your brother has killed many others. That child was only four years old, Enigma helped your brother find him. Enigma helped your brother kill him. Chapter 440: 388 Hypnosis_3 Chapter 440: Chapter 388 Hypnosis_3
Trantor:549690339 Elder Brother, would you like toe down to the basement with me to see how I kill? Little Enigma, remember this well. Jack Amos died because of you. Remember, Jack Kingsley lost his father because of you. If he dares to help you escape, he deserves to die. Daisy Zanes lips turned pale instantly, her eyshes were trembling, and sweat dripped into her hair from her forehead. Kevin rk clenched his fingertips, stopping himself from waking her up.
But a few secondster, Daisy Zane suddenly opened her eyes. Then, like a conditioned reflex, she rolled over and straddled Kevin rk, her right hand directly grabbing his neck. Kevin rk didnt resist, allowing her to do as she pleased. At that moment, the killing intention burst out from the depths of Daisy Zanes eyes. Her face was very pale, but an intense hardness permeated her whole body. All her defensiveness was provoked, aimed at the person beside her. But as soon as she recognized Kevin rk, she immediately let go of him. After a moment of stupor, she began to breathe heavily. Even though she was sweating heavily, her whole body was shivering slightly. Ignoring the difort in his throat, Kevin rk sat up against the head of the bed, took Daisy Zane into his arms, lied her down onto his chest, and embraced her: Its all fake; it has all passed. He kissed the top of her head, Im sorry, Im sorry. Daisy Zane leaned against his shoulder, staring at the pitch-ck room. At her most vulnerable moment, Kevin rk sneakily used Charles Amos to lure her into hypnosis. He used Charles Amoss childhood experiences to trigger her memories of life in Continent A. His hand was knocking on her waist.
Kevin rk covered her eyes, and then the light on the bedside table turned on. Only when he felt she could adapt to the light did he slowly remove his hand from her eyes, and stroked her head, Dont be afraid, Im here. Daisy Zane took a moment, calming her breath. Kevin rk kept stroking her head,forting her. After a while, she closed her eyes, burying her face in his shoulder. When she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse: Third Master, you actually attacked sneakily. Im sorry. Kevin rks fingertips had been trembling all along, and they hadnt stabilized yet. He felt so heartbroken that he felt like he had no strength. I dont me you. Daisy Zane naturally knew that the more silently these things were done, the more sessful they would be. After saying that, she fell silent for a while before adding, But it seems it didnt seed. If it didnt, then so be it. Kevin rk held her as he croaked, All Continents are strengthening their defenses. The intensity of the inspection is constantly increasing. Even if we cant remember his face, we can still catch him. If a person overdoes their disguise, it will inevitably attract attention. So, without anyone knowing what he looks like, if Edward Kirsten appears in public, he wont go as far as to greatly disguise himself. Of course, even if we recall what he looks like, catching a person based on appearance is also a probability issue.
But having multiple ns is always good. However, it seems like this n wont work. Should we try again? Kevin rk tightened his arms, Little Girl, I cant do it. Daisy Zane didnt insist, she felt Kevin rks hand trembling. Besides, even if she was hypnotized, as soon as that line of defense was touched, her subconscious would resist. Kevin rk. Hmm? How does it feel to be defeated by yourself? Huh? Kevin rk was slightly stunned. He realized what she meant after a moment of dy. She means, she is the person he trained, and his hypnotic technique just lost to the person he trained. He didnt feel anything, he just wanted to kill his past self right now. That night, Kevin rk hardly slept. He stayed by Daisy Zanes side, fearful that she would have nightmares, fearful that if she remembered things from the past, she wouldnt rest well.
He was also afraid that excessive psychological stimtion could cause some undesired reactions. Whenever Daisy Zane moved slightly, he would wake up. But Daisy Zanes psychological quality was indeedmendable. After she fell asleep, she slept very soundly. Until dawn, she even had a dream. She dreamt of a little girl reading a book. The voice was youthful. Next to her were two boys. Sitting right in front of her was an elder. She was focused on reading and did not look at the people around her. The heavens are always moving, the gentleman should constantly work towards self-improvement. The earth is meek, the gentleman carries things with his inner strength. The gentle wind, the gentleman manifests his will through his actions. The gradual thunderstorm, the gentleman maintains a state of mindfulness through fear and self-examination The little girl read word by word from the book. However, the words she recited were not the same as the words she was pointing at. Some people on the sidemented that she had memorized the lines, but couldnt read very well. Grandfather, what is a gentleman? The elder in front of her suddenly smiled kindly, held the little girl in his arms, and said: Oh, Little L Campbell can recite it.
Yes. The little girl said proudly, Its easy. The elder smiled again, A gentleman, L, must have both virtue and talent, adhere to benevolence and righteousness, and bear the world in mind. The gentleman should know what to do and what not to do, know what can be done, and do it; know what cant be done, and dont do it. When they seed, they should benefit the world. When they are poor, they should be good to themselves. The little girl was even more confused. One of the boys suddenlyughed and said: Grandpa, she is only three years old, if you speak like this, she wont understand. No matter, our Little L Campbell is clever. She can remember it first and understand it slowly in the future. Yes, L is smart. The little girl smiled, then turned to the other boy, Brother Arthur, dont you think so? Yes, very clever. Thats your Third Uncle. This is Brother Arthur. Brother Arthur, Brother Arthur. Do you only have your real brother in your eyes? The little girl pursed her lips and looked at him. After a while, she suddenly said, Elder Brother is a big jealous jar.
Chapter 441: 389: The Ugly Freak Chapter 441: Chapter 389: The Ugly Freak The cell phone ringtone sounded, and Daisy Zane was pulled out of her dream.
However, the ringtone only rang twice before going silent. She opened her eyes and nced at Kevin rk: Who is it? Kevin had just muted the phone and hadnt taken his hand back yet. Seeing her awake, he casually took the phone: Morris. Daisy took the phone and answered the call: Whats up? My dear, just a reminder, you have a script reading tomorrow. Daisy was silent for a while before replying: Is it worth calling so early in the morning for this?
Early? What time is it now? You Morris suddenly realized that there might be a time difference, Where are you? Abroad. Morris: Can youe back tomorrow? No. Daisy replied, You guys start the script reading first; Ill be back in a couple of days. You, arent you afraid of people saying youre acting like a diva? Morris said, Although youve worked with these people before, people can still cause trouble. Daisy snuggled under the quilt andzily said: Dont I have the capital to act like a diva? Morris: Kevin stroked her hair and chuckled when he heard her words. Thats it, then. Hang up. After saying that, Daisy hung up the phone and threw it casually on the bed. Kevin said, Sleep some more. Daisy was silent for a while and then sighed softly: No, there are still things to take care of at the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Disturbing dreams.
What did you dream about? Kevin kissed her face and said softly, I just saw you smile. I dreamt about Daisy suddenly paused, finding her mind nk and unable to remember anything. The only thing she knew was that the dream content should have been good, and she was in a pretty good mood, Oh, I forgot. Kevinughed: Thats normal. Daisy was silent for a while, picked up her phone, and set several rms. All set for early morning domestic time. If Morris wants to disturb her dreams, then he wont get any sleep today either. Kevin watched her series of actions andughed as he hugged her, his face buried in her neck for a long time. After having breakfast, Daisy returned to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Before she left, Kevin hugged her and kissed her: Come back early, Respected Pavilion Master. Daisy wasnt surprised that he guessed her identity. At first, he thought she was one of the six demons of the Hundred Demons Pavilion, butter he discovered her true identity as Martin Hanzel. Since she had faked her death and defected back then, she would never join another organization to serve others again.
So, she could only be the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Otherwise, she wouldnt join the Hundred Demons Pavilion and be constrained by others, with various limitations on her actions. Daisy raised an eyebrow: Isnt it time for Third Master to say Im not easy to deal with? Isnt it time for Third Master to say Im moody and kill people randomly? Isnt it time for Third Master to say Im ugly? Kevin looked startled by her questions, cleared his throat, and hugged her: How can you hold a grudge like this? I guess I didnt know any better. Daisyughed: Third Master, theres an even bigger grudge to holding up. I was wrong. Third Master immediately admitted his fault, Im ugly, my little girl is the most beautiful in the world. Daisy ignored his words, kissed him lightly on the lips, and turned to leave. She left without leaving even a hint of a cloud behind. Kevin was left with no one to hug, so he put his hands in his pockets and watched her walk away without looking back. And a dayter Kevin understood what she meant when she said, Theres an even bigger grudge to holding up. Because within a day, the entire Mountain Sea Continent was spreading a rumor: The Boss of Dark Radiance is an ugly brute. Not only the Mountain Sea Continent, but even some parts of the M Continent were also spreading the rumor. And just half a dayter, it spread within the country.
Allonzo Hobson, William Lane, and Hugo rk all sent friendly greetings to Kevin. The people of Dark Radiance were jumping mad. Their boss was ugly?! Could they find a second person with their bosss looks in the whole world? While everyone was taking up the cudgels for him, Kevin just said calmly and detachedly: What goes aroundes around Sooner orter it will be returned double. The domestic dancepetition ended. Daisy was busy at the Hundred Demons Pavilion and didnt pay much attention to it. She only casually browsed the news online but didnt have time to watch the actual dances in detail. ording to the online news, the grand finale that night could be described as a fierce battle between gods. There were many amazing dancers this year. Moreover, there was a significant controversy this year, which kept the online discussion going all day without stopping.
It was Amelia Miless ranking. Amelia Miles ced fifth. The first-ce girl was self-taught and came from the countryside, just seventeen years old. The second and third ces were from dance academies. There were a total of six judges in the finalpetition. For Amelias dance, five of them gave her high scores, all above 9.5 points. However, when it came to Sophie Ortiz, she gave the lowest score of thepetition: 7.6 points. If this score had been above 8 points, Amelia could have made it into the top three. But she ended up falling to fifth ce. Online, people were divided into two camps. One side agreed with Sophie Ortiz, while the other side criticized her, saying that her aesthetic standards were twisted and no longer in line with the times. The online dispute was heated, and there was also a postpetition interview with the reporter. The reporter asked Sophie about Amelias low score. Sophie just said three words: Not enough seasoning. Immediately after, the reporter asked: But we all think shes doing great. Her technique is skillful, her movements beautiful, and her expressiveness is excellent. By casually dismissing her with three words, dont you think youre being unfair to her? Besides, she is known as the little Sophie Ortiz. Shouldnt you finding fault in her be akin to finding fault in yourself?
Sophie looked at the reporter, then chuckled and said, So you think the top four are not as good as her? Unable to respond, the reporter fell silent. Sophie continued, Whoever thinks its unfair can rece me as a judge at the nextpetition. Also, I didnt give her the nickname little Sophie Ortiz. With a polite smile for everyone, Sophie left. Throughout the conversation, she maintained an elegant demeanor, leaving gracefully. Yet it radiated her arrogance and confidence. It showed that she was indeed untouchable no matter what others thought. Daisy watched the interview video andughed. When Luke came to find her, he saw her smile: The Boss is in a good mood. Not bad. Daisy closed her phone, Whats up? We need you to sign some documents. Luke said. Daisy nced at the files in his hand: You can sign them. Why do you need me? Youre here. Im leaving soon. Daisy replied, You sign it yourself. Luke: Chapter 442: 390: Joining the Group Chapter 442: Chapter 390: Joining the Group Since joining the drama crew, Arthur North was able to move freely and gradually recover. So, Daisy Zane did not stay long in Mountain Sea Continent and returned to her country alone.
Upon returning to her country, she immediately joined the crew. Moreover, the variety show Going to School began airing, and her previous TV series had also ended. Daisy Zane didnt pay much attention, only posting on Facebook when the variety show aired and another post saying goodbye to her character after the finale of the TV series. By the time Arthur North returned to the country, her movie had already started filming. This movie is a school-themed film, mainly reflecting campus bullying and violence. The entire movie is based on two plotlines.
One is the female lead being bullied. The other is the male lead being bullied. These two people, who have both suffered from bullying, meet each other. On the day they met, the male lead had nned to end his own life, but was suddenly interrupted by the female lead. He then found out that the girl was nning a counterattack. Her counterattack n was to continuously train her weak body, at least allowing her to have the ability to defend herself. She didnt need to fight violence with violence; all she wanted was to not be bullied and to legitimately defend herself. She was also looking for evidence and timing to call the police, let the police intervene, prove her innocence and silence the rumormongers. Its not scary if nobody helps; she could help herself. The victims should never be afraid of fighting back. The aggressors are guilty with their fists and words, but the victims are innocent. When the guilty are rampant, what reason do the innocent have to shrink back?
School, society, family, police C there must be somewhere to seek help. Even if not, there is still oneself. No one has the right to make oneself give up on life. Coming to this world is not for being bullied to death. One must have the courage to resist at any time. The male lead discovers the female leads n and joins her in the n. The two victims support and encourage each other, creating a path for themselves. There is also a point in the movie where a parent of one of the bullies stops their child from group bullying and criticizes and educates them about their behavior. It reflects on the side that parents should not only teach their children not to be bullied but also not to hurt others and instill the correct values. When the script was first formed, Morris suggested that at least one of the two plotlines must have a tragic ending. Such an ending would be more engaging and award-winning. However, Daisy Zane directly rejected the suggestion. If it was another theme, she could ept a tragic ending for aesthetic reasons.
But for this theme, both plotlines must have a perfect ending. No negative images should be set up, and anxiety should not be increased. Furthermore, she hates the words suicide. Paying with ones life for the aggressorsthey are not worth it. Because its a school-themed film, Daisy Zane and George Dunn once again wear school uniforms. Moreover, the makeup artist deliberately makes them look more na?ve and immature this time. So when Third Master rk visited the set, standing beside Daisy Zane, his age was evident. In Anisa Coopers words, it looked like a young uncle picking up his child from school. Thus, that day at noon, Third Master rk withheld a bowl of rice from Anisa Cooper after overhearing her words. Arthur North apanied Daisy Zane for a day before leaving. After that, he kept running between the Research Institute and Ryan Easton. Daisy Zane also went to theboratory at Imperial Capital University whenever she had a little time from the drama crew.
The two were busy like this, not seeing each other for more than a week. Not until the evening of November 30th, Olivia Lanes birthday, did they finally meet. Daisy Zane had asked for leave from the drama crew in advance and cleared that night. Arthur North also specially made time on that day to apany Daisy Zane to the event. Daisy Zane went directly to the Doomsday Hotel from the drama crew. The makeup artist and stylist were brought by Xavier Dominic, and the dress was delivered by Joseph Allen. Originally, Daisy Zane didnt want to wear makeup, and she didnt even want to wear a dress, just asking Anisa Cooper to pick a skirt for her. But Hill Dawson threatened with her life. She said that if any photo or video of the Lane Family Charity Auction trend tonight features her with no makeup or without a dress on. Then she, as an agent, would be sttered with blood three feet away in white silk. The charity auction and party had no threshold. So from wealthy nobles to third-tier stars, from the business circle to the fashion circle to the entertainment industry, almost everyone was present. For some circles, it was a way to build rtionships; for others, tonight was a battle of mour.
Hill Dawson clearly ced Daisy Zane in the morous circle. After all, Daisy Zanes social circle had no need for her to build rtionships. So today, her artist must outshine all the others and be the most eye-catching star. To avoid losing more blood to Hill Dawson, Daisy Zane agreed to her request. As Daisy Zane was doing her makeup, her hotel room was crowded with people. Allonzo Hobson, Robinson Scott, Hugo rk, Hardy rk, Joseph Allen, Austin Allen, Felix Baker, Marsh Turner, Anisa Cooper Even Charles Amos was brought over by Hugo rk. The crowd chatted incessantly. Charles Amos was standing next to Daisy Zane, feeding her pistachios one by one. Kevin rk sat on her other side, watching her. It wasnt until her hair and makeup were done, and Daisy Zane needed to change her clothes, that the crowd dispersed towards the conference hall. Only the three of them were left in the room.
Then Kevin rk took advantage of Daisy Zanes trip to the inner room to change clothes and threw Charles Amos out to Hugo rk. It had been a long time since the couple had seen each other, and the presence of others was bothersome. He had been patient for quite a while already. After sending off thest visitor, Kevin rk went to the room to find Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane had already put on her dress and was pulling up the zipper at the back by herself. Kevin rk went over to help her, and then kissed her lightly on the back of her neck. Why didnt you call me? I can pull it up. The dress was apricot white in color, entuating her curves in the upper body and fairy-like beauty in the flowing skirt hem. The entire dress was studded with diamonds that sparkled with her every step, like a myriad of stars. Moreover, itpletely covered Daisy Zanes tattoos and scars. The depth of the V-neck was just right, sexy yet restrained. Because the shoulder was well covered, the back of the waist was exposed. Notpletely exposed, there was a belt tied at the back of her waist. It provided a hint of hidden beauty. Kevin rk discovered that he might as well not help her with the belt, as it was even more provocative without it. Ready? Daisy Zane asked. Yeah. Lets go. After saying that, Daisy Zane started to walk out. But after only one step, she was grabbed around the waist by Kevin rk. Her whole body was pulled back, and she took several steps backward with Kevin rk. Then she noticed that Kevin rk was sitting on the bed. Momentster, she felt a warmth on the back of her waist. Kevin rk nted a kiss on her lower back. Reverently and preciously, he kissed her once. Her pupils trembled lightly as if her lower back had been slightly burned. But before she could fully react, Kevin rk applied more force, making her sit on hisp. Kevin rk held her waist and reached his hand directly under her dress, Can I give you a kiss before we leave? I just finished my makeup. Daisy Zanes voice was calm and cool, with no hint of discrepancy. Ill be careful not to smudge it. Kevin rk said softly, as if coaxing a child, Ive been wanting to kiss you. But they were always around. So annoying. Daisy Zane: Chapter 443: 391: Charity Auction Chapter 443: Chapter 391: Charity Auction A lot of people attended the charity auction, not just those from the Imperial Capital circle, but also many bigwigs from other ces.
The Miles Family from Truro City, Davis Residence, and John Anderson also came. From the Miles Family, everyone except Jace Miles came, even Old Master Miles paid a visit, and the Davis family came as a group of three. John Anderson came alone. Although Amelia Miles didnt make it into the top three of the dancepetition, she still secured a spot in the Dance Association. Due to the influence of the Lane Family, many people paid attention to the dancepetition. A lot of people, although indifferent about dancing, were very keen on the Dance Association. Those who entered the Dance Association had a chance to receive favors from the Lane Family, which was a valuable connection.
So at the banquet hall, many people would take the initiative to greet Amelia Miles. Old Master Miles wouldnt miss this opportunity towork, so the family stayed with Amelia Miles, weing everyone with a smile. When Kevin rk and Daisy Zane entered the banquet hall, several media reporters spotted Daisy Zane and turned their cameras towards her. In order to maintain order at the scene, the media reporters were at designated locations. Daisy Zane looked at those lenses and said, Let them blur out your face when they release the footage. Is that necessary? Kevin rk asked softly. Daisy Zane looked at him. I want to appear with my wife. I dont want them to say that I am a balding, big-eared, middle-aged man, Kevin rk paused and continued. Daisy Zane: As you wish. Kevin rk smiled. Besides the media moving their lenses towards them, many people who had met Kevin rk and knew his identity also came to greet him. Moreover, those who knew his identity were highly regarded in the Imperial Capital.
From a distance, Old Master Miles curiously asked Amelia, Amelia, do you know who the man with Daisy Zane is? Amelia Miles pursed her lips and looked at Kevin rk, sensing the treasured affection he had toward Daisy Zane. She paused for a moment and was about to speak, when a passerby turned back and said, ThatsKevin rk. Everyone from the Miles Family looked at the person who spoke. When Amelia Miles recognized the man, she immediately smiled politely, Mr. Baker, youre here too. Felix Baker gave her a gentlemanly smile, Indeed, just joining in on the fun. He then looked at Old Master Miles and said, You must have heard of the Leafield Family of the Imperial Capital. That man is Third Master rk, and the beautiful Lady Zane is now Mrs. rk. Johanes Miles and Charles Hobsons eyes widened in shock, and they were both momentarily speechless. Old Master Miles even felt like his head was filled with blood, taking a moment to ask, Mrs. rk?! Exactly, Felix Baker smiled innocently and politely, Imperial City Leafield Family, Mrs. rk. Amelia Miles smile waned. But Felix Baker continued to smile at her and cheerfully walked away.
Amelia Miles watched his back and took a deep breath. Meanwhile, the other three members of the Miles Family were still a bit stunned. Johanes Miles looked at Amelia and asked, Is what he said true? Amelia Miles barely smiled, I dont know. I havent met them. Old Master Miles said, How could it be false? Look at how respectful those people are to them. Those are the people who wouldnt even spare a nce at us. Johanes Miles fell silent. Old Master Miles observed for a while and concluded, Weve been ying this move wrong from the start. Charles Hobson clenched his fists, understanding that what Old Master Miles meant by the start was when Johanes Miles married her. If Johanes Miles had stayed with udia Zane, then their daughter, Daisy Zane, would have married into the rk Family, and the Miles Family would have reached the sky in one step. Now they were left with nothing. Amelia Miles didnt respond. Old Master Miles continued, Johanes,e with me to greet her. With so many people here, and in front of her husband, she has to put on an act. Johanes Miles removed Charles Hobsons hand from his arm and followed Old Master Miles.
Charles Hobsons eyes immediately reddened with anger. Amelia Miles held her mothers hand and said, Mom, dont worry. They will still rely on me in the end. If she can get Kevin rk, I can get William Lane too. Charles Hobson gripped her hand tightly, Amelia, your brother and you are all I have left. Old Master Miles and Johanes Miles intended to go see Daisy Zane, but they couldnt get close to her at all. Chapter 444: 391: Charity Auction_2 Chapter 444: Chapter 391: Charity Auction_2 Because Michael and Juan intercepted them, they failed to move forward.
After greeting everyone, Kevin rk led Daisy Zane toward the rest area: Going to see Olivia Lane? Theyre in the inner hall, celebrating her birthday first. Daisy Zane asked, Are all the Lanes here? Yep. No, Daisy Zane replied. Its not appropriate for outsiders to go join her family. Kevin knew she didnt like meeting elders, so he didnt say anything further: Lets sit over there for a bit. Okay.
The two sat in the rest area. rk family members were standing all around, no one could get close. Kevin worried Daisy was hungry, so he got someone to bring her some food. Daisy ate and flipped through the auction manual. Anything you like? Daisy shook her head: Lets bid on this Luban lock set for Charles Amos. Its our contribution to the charity auction. Alright. After celebrating her birthday with her family, Olivia came out to find Daisy. She texted Daisy for her location and went straight to the rest area. Daisy Zane Olivia eximed excitedly, but when she saw Kevin by her side, her smile vanished in an instant. She greeted him politely: Third Uncle, youre here too. Kevin eyed her and said, You should call me Auntie. Olivia pursed her lips. Daisy Zane:
Olivia turned to Daisy for help. Daisy stood up and said, Lets take a walk around the banquet hall. Kevin followed suit, but before he could fully stand up, Daisy said, You stay here. Kevins movement froze, and he sat back down: Daisy left with Olivia. Before leaving, Olivia sneakily nced back at Kevins sulking face, and her mood improved drastically. Why didnt you go inside? Olivia asked. Daisy handed her a cup of juice and took a ss of wine for herself: You came out. I want to drink wine, too. Children cant. Whos a child? Ivee of age, Olivia retorted. High school students arent allowed to drink, Daisy said.
Olivia: Daisy smiled at her, then clinked her wine ss with Olivias cup: Happy birthday. Olivia hesitated, then said, Thank you. Daisy took a sip of wine: The present is in the car; Ill have Michael bring it to youter. Thanks. Why are you so polite today? Am I not allowed to be? You are. The two chatted casually. Olivia told Daisy about school life: Everyones studying very seriously now. Skyler Thomas says its all because of you. And the homeroom teacher of ss 8, I feel like shes gonna be pissed to deathevery day she sees me with a pale face. So I walk past their ss every day. Daisy smiled. But William Butch hasnt returned to school, Olivia added. Hes in the hospital. William Butch was undergoing therapy every day, so he simply stayed in the hospital.
Huh? Olivia asked, Whats wrong with him? Did he get beaten up again? Hes fine. Ill take you to see him when I have time, Daisy promised. Okay. Olivia nodded and then saw her brother, William Lane, talking with someone nearby. Have you met my brother? No. Let me introduce you. Hes a great guy; Im sure youll like him. Daisy raised her eyebrows: shed like him? Kevin would be drowning himself in a vinegar jar. Just as she was about to turn down the offer, someone called out to Olivia. Miss Lane. They both looked over. It was Mrs. Davis and Liam Davis from the Johnson family in Truro City. Liam nced at Daisy before turning his gaze back to Olivia.
Mrs. Davis didnt even seem to notice Daisy. Her eyes were locked on Olivia. Daisy watched the two with indifference. Olivia had a vague sense of familiarity with thedy, but she couldnt recall her. And the man she had never met him before. What can I do for you? Miss Lane, weve met before. Do you remember? Mrs. Davis attempted to approach them, but Daisy pulled Olivia back and stepped in front of her. Feeling Daisys hostility, Olivia asked, Who are you? Im from the Truro City Johnson family. Mrs. Davis didnt beat around the bush since Daisy was present: This is my son, Liam Davis. Chapter 445 - 391: Charity Auction_3 Chapter 445: Chapter 391: Charity Auction_3 Liam Davis stepped forward and gentlemanly said, Miss Lane, hello. Olivia Lane vaguely remembered something and looked at Liam Davis, asking, What is it? I just met Miss Lane and wanted to get to know her. Liam said. Why do I have to know you? Olivia replied. Daisy Zane smirked. Liam choked on his words. Mrs. Davis immediately said, Miss Lane, my son is excellent. He has a masters degree in Business Administration from Imperial Capital University. Our Davis family is the richest family in Truro City. My son also has his ownpany and is thriving So what? Olivia interrupted her, Would you like me to introduce you to my brother? Mrs. Davis also choked on her words. This time, Daisy Zaneughed out loud. Liam and Mrs. Davis both looked at her. Daisy Zane looked directly at Mrs. Davis and whispered, This is thest time. If I hear that you approached her once more, the Davis family wont just lose their status as the richest family in Truro City. Having said that, Daisy Zane no longer looked at them and walked away, holding Olivia Lanes hand. Mrs. Davis and Liam watched their retreating figures. After a while, Mrs. Davis said angrily, Did you see that? This is the person you like. She has no manners or politeness. I wont like her anymore. Liams eyes seemed to be poisoned, She makes people take action against you and the Davis family. I wont let her off easily. Only the Lane family canpete with the Imperial City Leafield Family. Mrs. Davis said, If we want to save our family, its the Lane family that can help. My son, do you understand? Olivia Lane is very beautiful, and she can be a wife without any loss. I know. In fact, there is a good opportunity now for William Lane and Harton rk to turn against each other. Amelia Miles suddenly approached them. Mrs. Davis and Liam both looked at her. After a while, Mrs. Davis asked, What opportunity? The Doomsday Hotel Rooftop. Liam frowned, What do you mean? The rooftop is the room of the two daughters of the Lane family. Amelia said. Two daughters? Mrs. Davis asked, Does the Lane family have another daughter? Yes. Amelia replied, Olivia Lane is the younger sister, and there is another one named Charlotte Lane. But something happened to Charlotte, and the upper floor has be a taboo for the Lane family, or a taboo for William Lane. Outsiders are not allowed to enter there. You mean Liam said. Once, someone mistakenly entered there. Amelia, who had joined the Dance Association, had heard a lot about the Lane family, William Lane was furious. He nearly killed the person. Liam and Mrs. Davis both looked at her. Amelia smiled and said, What do you think if Daisy Zane went there, and William Lane found out, what would his reaction be? What would Harton rks reaction be? Liam and Mrs. Davis understood. One for the younger sister and one for the wife. Conflict is inevitable. Amelia said, And as the source of the conflict, how could they escape unscathed? But how do we get her to go to the rooftop? Mrs. Davis asked. Amelia raised her eyebrows and said, I already told you the opportunity, but how to do it you need to figure it out on your own. Having said that, Amelia left. Leaving Liam Davis and Mrs. Davis behind, they discussed for a while. Olivia Lane and Daisy Zane had spent some time together before being called away by a phone call from her mother.Daisy Zane didnt immediately go back to find Harton rk. She answered a phone call and then went to the restroom. When she came out of the restroom, she bumped into Mrs. Davis making a phone call. Today is Olivia Lanes birthday, and the charity auction also has a good meaning. Otherwise she would undoubtedly have the Davis family kicked out once again. The two pretended not to see each other and walked past each other. However, as Mrs. Davis passed by, Daisy Zane heard the content of her phone call. I have some good news to report. Liam and Miss Lane are getting along well, our family will be saved. Daisy Zane suddenly paused, listening to the gradually fading voice of Mrs. Davis. Liam apanied Miss Lane back to her room. Mrs. Davisughed, Ah, dont worry. No one will disturb them. The rooftop of the Doomsday Hotel has Miss Lanes room, and no one dares to go there. This matter will definitely seed. The banquet hall was noisy, but Daisy Zane clearly heard these sentences. Mrs. Davis also seemed quite proud of herself. Daisy Zanes expression turned cold, and she immediately called Olivia Lane. She felt that something was wrong. This was the Lane familys territory; the attitude of Olivia Lane towards Liam Davis was also clear. There was no way the Lane family would allow a stranger to take Olivia Lane away. As she called Olivia Lane, she headed towards the elevator. After calling Olivia Lane twice without an answer, she entered the elevator and pressed the floor for the rooftop. In fact, the n that the Davis mother and son came up with at thest minute had many ws. For example, they didnt expect Daisy Zane to call Olivia Lane. For example they didnt include needing to swipe the room card to go to the designated floor in their n. Or because of the need to swipe the card, the idea Amelia suggested from the beginning was wrong. The rooftop was a taboo, and naturally, people were not allowed to have ess to the room card. That person who went to the rooftop while in the Dance Association had gone there by ident. But it seemed as if there was an invisible force leading her, Olivia Lane did not answer the phone. Daisy Zane was too worried, and after entering the elevator and pressing the floor button without any response, she remembered the need for a room card. She didnt waste time finding someone. Instead, she chose the fastest method. She tapped her cell phone a few times, then held it close to the sensing area and pressed the floor button. She could ess any floor. If Olivia Lane was really taken away by Liam Davis, she had to find help as fast as possible, or Olivia Lane might be bullied. Regardless, she needed to check and make sure first. Chapter 446 - 392: Top Floor Chapter 446: Chapter 392: Top Floor At the banquet hall, William Lane was entertaining guests. Suddenly, a member of the Lane family, who had been maintaining order in the banquet hall, came over. Young Master, Madame said that someone has gone to the rooftop, they said. William Lane immediately looked at the mentioned Madame and said, Let here over. The Lane family member led Mrs. Davis over. Upon seeing William Lane, Mrs. Davis immediately said, Young Master Lane, I just saw someone go to the rooftop. William Lane looked at the anxious expression on the face of the unfamiliar Madame and asked calmly, How do you know? I saw her enter the elevator, Mrs. Davis said, and then the elevator stopped at the top floor. William Lanes eyes tightened, and he looked at the person beside him who immediately left. Then Mrs. Davis quickly added, Its not Miss Lane, I know her. You know Olivia Lane? Yes, we met during the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts press conference, Mrs. Davis purposefully said, I have a good rtionship with Miss Lane, and she told me that we should not go to the room on the top floor of the Doomsday Hotel. William Lane looked at the woman in front of him without showing any emotion. His sister rarely confided in others, otherwise she would have friends. And she would definitely not tell outsiders about the top floor of the Doomsday Hotel. This woman knew quite a few things, and what was her purpose? May I know, who are you? Before William Lane could finish his question, the Lane family member ran back and said, Young Master, the security room staff said that they saw a woman go to the rooftop through surveince. William Lanes gentle expression immediately turned cold. He couldnt think about anything else and hurried to the elevator. Olivia Lane came out of the inner hall and noticed two missed calls on her cell phone. She called Daisy Zane back. Daisy Zane answered quickly, Where are you? Confused by her tone, Olivia Lane hesitated for a moment and said, Im at the banquet hall, where we were chatting just now. What happened? Daisy Zane was silent for a while before she replied calmly, with a hint of self-mockery, Its nothing. Huh? Olivia Lane was more confused. Daisy Zane continued, Stay where you are, dont go with strangers. Iming to find you now. Huh? Olivia Lane was even more puzzled. Hanging up. Phone call ends, Olivia Lane still didnt understand the situation, but she saw William Lane hurriedly walking towards the elevator from a distance. She was stunned and then instinctively wanted to follow William Lane. Unable to catch up, Olivia Lane asked a Lane family member who had been beside William Lane just now, What happened? Why is my brother in such a hurry? Someone has gone to the rooftop. Olivia Lane frowned, Who? How did they get there? I dont know. Its a woman, the Lane family member said, I have the surveince video from the security room here. Miss Lane, do you want to see it? He had just made a phone call to the security room to ask about the elevator surveince. When he found out that someone had indeed gone to the top floor, he immediately reported it to William Lane. After William Lane left, he received the surveince video from the security room. Curious to know who it was, Olivia Lane took a look at the surveince video. She almost had a heart attack when she saw that the person in the video was Daisy Zane. Why did she go there! Olivia Lanes brain worked quickly, and she roughly figured out the situation based on the phone call Daisy Zane had made to her earlier. Daisy Zane must have thought she was in danger and went to the rooftop to protect her. Olivia Lane didnt think about why she was in danger, or how Daisy Zane knew she was in danger. The key now was that her brother had gone up too. If they bumped into each other things would be very difficult. She hurried towards the elevator, calling Kevin rk while walking. Although the top floor had only Charlotte Lanes and Olivia Lanes rooms, the area was extensive. Both girls hadrge rooms. When Daisy Zane received Olivia Lanes call, she had already walked half the distance inside. Since Olivia Lane was safe, Daisy Zane did not intend to stay any longer. This whole situation was suspicious from the start, and she came up here just to ensure Olivia Lanes safety. However, she couldnt quite understand why C if Mrs. Davis let her overhear it on purpose, what was the reason for bringing her here? This ce belonged to the Lane family, and others couldnte up. Daisy Zane had essentially hacked the elevators sensor with her cell phone to get up there. Chapter 447: 392: Top Floor_2 Chapter 447: Chapter 392: Top Floor_2 Whats the point of doing this?
As Daisy Zane walked back, she thought about this matter. When she passed by a room entrance, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the door lock. It was a password lock in the shape of a rose, with numbers scattered on its petals. Daisy Zane suddenly stopped in her tracks and inexplicably approached the password lock. At the same time, a thought shed through her mind: Dad and Mom, I designed this password lock for the room. Is my design good enough? The moment the thought crossed her mind, Daisy Zane remembered a series of numbers. She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand, and touched the password lock. Then she lightly pressed the numbers one by one: 010005
She pressed the pound key, and the door to the room opened with a click. Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled fiercely. She Daisy Zane stood at the entrance, looking at the door, her breath tightened. She didnt even hear the sound of the elevator door opening. The chaos in her head seemed to intensify, yet at the same time became clearer. Ever since Kevin rk hypnotized her, she had been having dreams every night. Some were happy, some were sad. However, she would forget them as soon as she awoke. As a result, her head was always in a muddle, as if she was surrounded by a fog that refused to dissipate. But now She took a deep breath, ced her hand on the door, and pushed it open. Just as she was about to step inside, her right wrist was suddenly grabbed. The force was so strong that it seemed to want to crush her wrist bones.
The voice was also chillingly cold: Who let youe up here! She hadnt noticed when someone arrived. Daisy Zane immediately retaliated, turning around and gripping the hand that held her wrist. However, just as she was about to counterattack, their eyes met. Daisy Zane retracted her about-to-be-raised leg, and William Lane subconsciously loosened the force in his hand. But he only loosened his grip, not letting go of her hand altogether. So Daisy Zane did not let go of him either. The two stared at each other. It felt like time stretched infinitely, everything around them went quiet, and dimmed. Daisy Zane inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with the man she had never met before. Meanwhile, as William Lane stared nkly at Daisy Zane, his emotions gradually surged, and it seemed as if his blood was boiling along with them. After watching her for a moment, he stiffly turned his neck to look at Daisy Zanes hand.
Daisy Zanes right hand was being held by him, her fingerspletely powerless. So, when William Lane tilted his head, he saw the mole on the inside of her right ring finger. In that instant, William Lanes entire body trembled. His face even reddened slightly from the emotional upheaval. He looked at Daisy Zane again, suddenly speechless, his lips moving several times without making a sound. Daisy Zane eyed the sudden redness in his eyes and the moisture building up. She gently furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Kevin rk hurrying over, followed by the trotting Olivia Lane. Daisy Zane watched Kevin rk swiftlye in front of them, grab William Lanes hand, and speak in a deep voice: Roy Madison, let go! William Lane didnt move, just continued to stare at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked back at him. He was William Lane, the Young Master of the Lane Family. Olivia Lane also ran over, panting as she tugged at William Lanes clothes, saying, Brother, brother, let go. Let go. She didnte up on purpose. She thought I was in danger. Brother. William Lane did not let go, so Kevin rk forcefully pried his hand open.
But as soon as they were separated, William Lane wanted to grab Daisy Zanes hand again. The man seemed agitated, as if fearful of losing sight of her the moment he let go. As if everything that just happened would turn into an illusion. However, Kevin rk didnt allow him to touch Daisy Zane, blocking her and saying, Roy Madison, dont go too far. After finishing his words, he immediately checked Daisy Zanes red wrist and red at William Lane, saying coldly, William Lane, it was My Lady who thought your sister was in danger and came up. You Daisy Zane tugged at him, and Kevin rk didnt finish his sentence. While he still didnt want to see William Lane, he led Daisy Zane away. William Lanes gaze immediately followed Daisy Zane. He even mechanically chased after her for a couple of steps like a robot, but was stopped by Olivia Lane. Olivia Lane hugged his arm and dragged him, saying, Brother, she really didnte up on purpose. I can exin, dont be angry. Chapter 448: 392: Top Floor_3 Chapter 448: Chapter 392: Top Floor_3 After Kevin rk and Daisy Zane entered the elevator, Kevin looked at the red handprint on Daisys wrist and asked softly, Does it hurt?
Daisy shook her head. Kevin gently massaged her wrist and said after a moment, Thats L Campbells room. L went missing at sea when she was 13 years old. The Lane Family has been searching for her, but He didnt finish the sentence, not wanting to speak the oue that no one wanted to hear. So he took a pause and added, Thats why anything rted to L gradually became a taboo for Roy Madison. He doesnt allow strangers to touch Ls things. Daisy didnt say a word, just looking down at Kevins hand. Thirteen years old its been ten years since then. Her memory only reaches back nearly ten years as well.
Kevin saw that she wasnt speaking and thought she was still angry. He cupped her face, making her look at him, and spoke gently, If youre still angry how about we go back and beat him up? Daisy chuckled lightly, Isnt he your brother? Even a brother cant bully my wife. Kevin kissed the corner of her lips, Dont worry, just give him a beating without ripping him to shreds. Daisy looked at him, smiled again, and then said softly, Kevin, lets go back. I dont want to stay here any longer. Alright, lets go back. Upstairs, Roy Madison stared in a daze at the direction where Daisy had disappeared for a long time. Amelie Quentin was rmed by his state and keptforting him and trying to dissuade him. Brother, dont scare me. Whats wrong with you? Amelie Quentins voice was so urgent, it didnt even sound right anymore. Hearing her sobbing voice, Roy Madison gradually came to his senses, touched her head, and said, Im sorry, I scared you. Amelie Quentins eyes filled with tears and she shook her head, Brother, she didnte up here on purpose. She thought I was in danger. Mhm. Roy Madison clenched his still trembling fingers and asked, She is Daisy Zane, Amelie answered, Kevin rk Third Uncles wife.
Daisy Zane Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane, Daisy Zane Roy Madison suddenly remembered the message Allonzo Hobson had sent to the group some time ago. [Where is the real Daisy Zane? Why did Brook Sister use Daisy Zanes identity] [You can see from Brook Sistersyers of identity and various skills, does she seem like someone who grew up in Cold Green Vige?] And Hugo rk had asked a question: [Who is she?] No one gave a definitive answer. No one knew who she was Brother, the auction. Roy Madison took a deep breath and reluctantly adjusted his mood, smiling at Amelie Quentin and saying, Lets go down. Mhm. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane returned to the Rose Garden.
After they arrived, Daisy went back to her room and took a bath. Kevin noticed that Daisys mood was a little off, and he asked her about it, but she didnt want to say anything, so he didnt press the matter. As Daisy soaked in the bath, she thought about Roy Madisons agitated expression. Agitated, happy, incredulous, and nervous, afraid. As if he was afraid the sight before him was fake. Daisy felt his boundless joy and his infinite sadness. The way he looked at her, as if looking at a long-lost treasure. And she knew the password for the room at the Doomsday Hotel, her inexplicable familiarity with Roy Madison, her inexplicable affection for Amelie Quentin As well as the timeline of L Campbells disappearance. All these pointed to one direction. She is L Campbell. At this thought, Daisy looked up, closed her eyes, andughed.
She is L Campbell, she is L Campbell She is actually L Campbell. The one who made her jealous and envious. The one with parents, a brother, a sister. For whose birthday even her grandfather would travel thousands of miles from afar to celebrate. She was the youngdy of the Lane Family who had been bathed in love and affection from the moment she was born. She had never even dreamt of that. For a moment, Daisy lifted her hand to cover her eyes and took a gentle breath. At this moment she really didnt know whether to envy herself or to feel sorry for herself. Chapter 449: 393 Who Would Marry Their Daughter to Kevin Clark Chapter 449: Chapter 393 Who Would Marry Their Daughter to Kevin rk Early morning, around 5 oclock, the rm clock rang.
Daisy Zane kept her eyes closed and didnt move. Soon, Kevin rk got up and turned the rm off. Then he touched her face and gently kissed her. Are you leaving so early? Yes. Daisy Zane didnt want to open her eyes, I have a show in the morning. Why dont you take a day off. Kevin rk touched her face, You didnt sleep wellst night. Daisy Zane seldom suffered from insomnia. When there were too many things going on and the mental burden was too heavy, she would fall asleep faster and feel much better after sleeping. But she suffered from insomniast night and couldnt fall asleep for a long time.
She was thinking about the past, but her mind was nk. In the past, everything was like a tangled ball of wool. Now that she had found the end of the thread, it had turned into a nk space where she couldnt remember anything, and there was nothing left. She couldnt sleep. Kevin rk kept herpany and didnt sleep much either. In the end, he told her a lot about when he first established the Easton Group, and eventually managed to lull her to sleep by talking. Its okay, it wont dy me. Daisy Zane sat up while speaking. Kevin rk also sat up and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and said softly, Sweetie, if you have any troubles, you can talk to me. Even if the problem cant be solved right away, maybe youll feel better by just talking. Dont take on everything by yourself. Remember, Im here for you. Daisy Zane was silent for a while, but still didnt say anything. It was not that she was deliberately concealing anything from Kevin rk, she wanted to wait before saying anything. At least let herself ept the situation first. There are very few things she cant ept, but this matter was hanging on the edge of what she could possibly tolerate. Moreover, she wasnt able to recall the past. Even if she could, she hadnt been at the Lane Familys ce for ten years already. That ce is very strange to her. She had changed a lot herself.
If the Lanes came to recognize her as family, she wouldnt even know how to interact with them. So, when she herself was in turmoil, she didnt want to see Kevin rks surprised expression. At the very least, Kevin rk being in a stable state could make her feel a little more at ease. She figured she would deal with it slowly, and then talk about it. Theres nothing. Daisy Zane said in a gentle voice, But since youve suggested it, there is indeed something that bothers me. Tsk. Kevin rk clicked his tongue, Madam, you sound distant with the way you are speaking. Daisy Zaneughed, The Davis Residence in Truro City, I dont want to see them again. What did they do this time? Last night they tricked me into going to the rooftop. Daisy Zane spoke. Kevin rks face immediately cooled: How did they know the rooftop was off-limits? Just ask them. Alright. Kevin rk extended his hand into her pajamas, Ill make sure it gets done.
Daisy Zane cast her eyes down to nce at his hand, and then mercilessly pped his hand away, Go y with yourself. Kevin rk, The shooting location was in Imperial Capital. Daisy Zane returned to the film set and shot for an entire day. When she was done for the evening and got her cell phone, she found an additional friend request on WhatsApp. She checked it and the verification message was William Lane. At this time, William Lane had been looking for information about Daisy Zane online for an entire day and night. Although there was not much online about her private life, he spent a long time just looking at the little blooper reels from the film set and the TV series scenes. Then he found Daisy Zanes WhatsApp from Olivia Lanes phone and added her. All afternoon, he did two things. He was glued to his phone, waiting for the message to be epted. He joined an anti-fan group, fighting solo against more than 200 people in the group. When kicked out, he just logged back in with another alternate ount.
In the end, he drove the group owner and the administrator crazy. So crazy that they had to disband the group. When Daisy Zane clicked the ept button, William Lane was eating at home. When he saw the number of friends on his WhatsApp had increased from one to two. He put down his chopsticks, picked up his phone, and went straight up to his room. The gazes of the other three Lane family members followed him. After they couldnt see his figure anymore, they stared at the restaurant entrance for a while before withdrawing their gazes. Then, all three stared at their own bowls in silence. Sophie Ortiz asked, Is your son in love? Andrew Lane was taken aback. After making eye contact with Sophie Ortiz, they both looked at Olivia Lane with tacit understanding. Olivia Lane pondered for a while when she saw them looking at her. I dont think so, I havent heard anything. Then whats up? Sophie Ortiz continued, Hes been distracted since the auction ended yesterday. Plus, when he woke up this morning, his eyes were swollen. I think he criedst night. Olivia Lane, who had slept till afternoon, was stunned: !!! Andrew Lane: What would a grown man cry about?
If my son wants to cry, let him cry. Its none of your business. Andrew Lane was speechless. Sophie Ortiz ignored him, turned to Olivia Lane and asked, Olivia, has your brother been acting strangetely? No, Olivia said, Justst night, someone went to the rooftop of Doomsday Hotel. My brother was very angry. Both Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz raised their eyebrows, Who was on the rooftop again? How did they get up there? Im not sure how they got up there, Olivia Lane said, Perhaps my brother couldnt vent his anger and hes been upset since then? What do you mean he couldnt vent his anger? Sophie asked. Andrew Lane also echoed, What do you mean his anger didnt go away? Has our Lane family fallen so low now? The woman who went up there is Harton rks wife. Plus she was framed. She thought I was in danger, which was why she went up there, Olivia said softly. Whose wife? Sophie asked. rk Third Uncles wife. Harton rk is married?! Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz asked simultaneously.
Caught off guard by the sudden rise in their voices, Olivia paused before saying, Yes, didnt you know? No one told us, how would we know? Sophie Ortiz replied. Harton rk managed to find a wife? Andrew Lane was surprised. The rks and the Lanes did indeed have a long-standing rtionship. However, the rtionship was primarily between Old Master Lane and Elina rk. They were from the same generation. Elina rk and Tom Wayne were like older generation figures to them. Furthermore, Andrew Lane often apanied Sophie Ortiz to various performances and work trips and wasnt often in the Imperial Capital. Their interactions werent very frequent as a result. Therefore, when Harton rk got married, and it was only a simple legal procedure with no wedding banquet, the rks only notified Old Master Lane. Unless they had a wedding ceremony, they wouldnt send them any invitation. Which family has given up on life and married their daughter to Harton rk? How could they bear it? Andrew Lane was so surprised that he had to ask again. Andrew, thats not right, Sophie responded, Whats wrong with Harton rk? Hes handsome and from a good family. There are lots of girls who want to marry him. Whats the use of being handsome, Andrew Lane said. Being handsome can get you a wife, Sophieughed, Dont you agree? Andrew Lane, who got his wife due to his handsome looks: Yes. Chapter 450: 394: You Are Chapter 450: Chapter 394: You Are Daisy Zane finished work and returned to the hotel, where she had dinner and took a bath.
After bing friends with him, it took two hours for her to receive a message from William Lane. [Hello, I am William Lane.] Young Master Lane spent two hours editing his message, which consisted of seven words. Last night was Olivia Lanes birthday, and Old Master Lane came back from Oxford City for the asion. After seeing Daisy Zane, Williams expression was somewhat dazed. The first thing he did after finishing the auction was to visit Old Master Lane at the hotel room and tell him about this matter.
However, when he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment and then left. At the rooftop of the Doomsday Hotel, although Daisy was obviously stunned upon seeing him, her gaze toward William was unfamiliar afterward. It seemed like she didnt recognize him. And since she was in Imperial Capital, why didnt she go home? Was it that she didnt remember, or were there other reasons? He needed to figure it out first. So before Old Master Lane returned to Oxford City, he didnt mention it. Daisy looked at the message on her cell phone and, after hesitating, she replied with two words: [Hello.] William Lane: [Do you have night filming tonight?] [No, finished work.] It took a while for Williams side to respond, but it indicated that he was in the process of typing Daisy threw her phone on the tea table, opened a bottle of wine, and returned to find William still typing.
About a minuteter, William sent a message: [When are you avable? Can we meet?] Daisy looked at the message for a while and replied: [I have an hour tomorrow noon.] [Alright, Ille tomorrow.] Daisy thought about it and sent him a location. William Lane: [Go to bed early, dont stay up toote.] [Hmm.] After ending the chat, William was both excited and distressed while holding his phone. He looked at the family portrait in his room. Daisy Zane now looked very different from before. In fact, they could be considered twopletely different people. The person now looked nothing like her past self, but the moment he saw her, he recognized her immediately. He was certain that she was Charlotte Lane, his sister.
She had grown up well and had always been by his side. He had just talked to her. Yet Daisys messages were very distant, and their interactions were like those of strangers. He had missed his sisters life for a whole ten years. Thinking about it, William opened Daisys social media. Daisys social media various math and chemistry problems, practice handwriting, and piano music. In one video, the hands ying the piano belonged to a child. And the posting dates on the social media were very concentrated, with a lot of updates in a certain period, and then no updates for a long time. It didnt look like a friends circle, but more like a collection of practice questions. William suddenly remembered that at one gathering, Harton rk brought a child with him. What did they say? The child was Hartons girlfriends child.
Harton had a girlfriend and then got married. So that child William suddenly stood up and paced around the room a couple of times. Compared to the fact that Charlotte married Harton rk, the fact that she had a child was even more shocking to him. Whose child was it? How did the childe to be? The child was so old already. His sister was only twenty-three! Williams blood boiled, and his vision went ck. He picked up his phone and called Allonzo Hobson right away. He didnt call Harton because he knew he wouldnt get anything out of him. Especially afterst nights incident. Now, when seeing Harton, his sharp tongue would know no bounds. William had no interest in seeking difort.
He hurriedly called Allonzo Hobson, asked him about it, and then hurriedly hung up. Knowing that the child was not Charlottes, William thought about the childs appearance and suddenly found the child quite cute. Tsk, I should have given a more generous meeting gift. William slept full of regrets. The next day, he drove to the hotel location Daisy had sent him yesterday. He waited until noon. He ordered food and then sent Daisy a message telling her the exact location and asked her to let him know when she was done at the film set. Half an hourter, Daisy replied to his message. Once he received the message, William began serving the dishes. About ten minutester, Daisy arrived. As the door opened, William saw her and suddenly stood up. From a distance of three or four meters, Daisy felt Williams nervousness for a moment. She nced at him and said calmly, Sorry, I was held up at the film set, and youve been waiting for a long time.
No, I havent been here long either, William said. Daisy didnt say anything more, entered the private booth, and walked over to the table. William pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down without hesitation. William also sat down, looking at Daisy with a tender gaze, tinged with caution, Is filming tiring? Its alright. Daisy took off her coat and put it on the chair. William looked at the school uniform she was wearing and suddenly felt a sense of deja vu. It seemed like just ten years ago Charlotte was still at home, attending high school. Today at noon, he hade to school to pick her up for lunch. When Daisy saw him staring at her school uniform, she exined, Im filming a school drama. William came back to reality: Oh. Lets eat firstdont dy the afternoons filming. Ive heard that Morris is quite a scolder. Daisy raised an eyebrow: His bad temper is indeed famous. William put on gloves, took a shrimp, and started peeling: Ive heard a thing or two. He doesnt dare to scold me, Daisy said, and he cant out-scold me. William smiled and ced the peeled shrimp on Daisys te: As long as you arent bullied. Seeing the shrimp added to her te, Daisy hesitated for a moment then went straight to the point, Do you have something to ask me? As William peeled a shrimp, he suddenly pressed too hard, and his fingertip hit the sharp end of the shrimp head, causing blood to appear. He took a tissue and pressed it against his finger, I Seeing that he had difficulty speaking up, Daisy said, Do you want to ask if I am Charlotte Lane? You are. William said firmly. Daisy was taken aback, and then she smiled and said, So sure? Because I went to the rooftop of the Doomsday Hotel? I unlocked that door? You must have heard that Im a great hacker. I even once saved Olivias life. A door lock is nothing to me. Daisy purposely said this because she was curious why he was so certain. After all her appearance had changed significantly from before. Moreover she didnt seem to resemble anyone in the Lane family. William looked at her for a moment, then took out his phone and opened an album. He handed the phone to her, These are all photos from before I turned thirteen. Chapter 451: 395: Grandson-in-law Chapter 451: Chapter 395: Grandson-inw Daisy Zane took the cell phone and saw the photo on it. Her eyshes trembled slightly.
There are many more pictures behind. William Lane said. Daisy Zane looked through them, and they were all of her. She was smiling in every photo. Single eyelid, a bit chubby, a very cute little girl. As she looked further, it was clear that she was getting younger in the pictures. After looking at some of them, Daisy Zane said, Can you recognize me from these? I can. William said. He could recognize his sister no matter what she looked like.
Daisy Zane smiled, returned the cell phone to him: ording to this timeline, I should have had a growth spurt and changed my appearance little by little when I was 14. By the time I was 15, I changed so much that I didnt look like my old self. At that time, Edward Kirsten joked that it might be a gic mutation. How could such a huge change happen all at once? No matter what, youre still very beautiful, Williammented. Thats true. William Lane smiled. Daisy also smiled slightly. She ate the shrimp he had peeled just now and said, I dont remember anything from before. William looked at her, his hand under the table slowly clenching, Did you suffer any trauma? He had considered the possibility that falling from such a high cliff might have caused some trauma, resulting in her not remembering them. Daisy thought for a moment and did not borate, but said, Im not sure, but Im in good health. Williams heart eased slightly. Daisy asked, Did you tell them about this?
William understood the them she was referring to were his family members: Not yet. Dont say anything for now, she requested. As soon as she said that, William became instantly anxious. Did she not want toe home? Did she not want them anymore? Daisy looked at Williams sudden anxiety and felt a bit amused. I need some time, she said softly. Whether I can remember the past or not, I need time to adjust. William looked at her but remained silent. Daisy added, Im not used to whats happening right now. This man in front of her was her brother, and Olivia Lane was her sister. Her parents and her grandfather were now in the picture, too. This brother of her with eyes full of love for his younger sister, the young master of the Lane Family, became unresponsive and slow whenever he saw her. Her sister Olivia only had to hear her say, L Campbell doesnt want toe back before she almost started to fight her, crying so sadly. Even though she was not with the Lanes, her grandfather would travel a long distance every year to celebrate her birthday with her. The Lanes woulde to see her no matter where she was and celebrate her birthday with her.
The Doomsday hotel had be forbidden territory because they could not find her. She understood that the Lanes were all waiting and hoping for her to return home. She used to be very happy. Contrary to what Edward Kirsten had said, she had not had a good life with him. The tone of his words made it seem like she was abandoned, which was a great contrast to the reality she knew. Her reason told her that Edwards words were not reliable, but the real situation was still influenced by him. She felt extremely ufortable with the huge difference. She also felt uneasy about suddenly having parents and a grandfather. She didnt know how to interact with them. She didnt know how to face parents and a grandfather who loved her unconditionally. For so many years, she had never felt such a strong sense of difort. After searching for reasons in every aspect, in the end, she could only let time heal her uneasiness. It seemed that William Lane could understand her a bit, but notpletely. Because the person in front of him was too calm, he could understand her words, but he couldnt quite understand her calm expression. However, he still agreed to her request, Okay. I wont say anything for now.
Thank you. You dont need to thank me. After saying that, William paused and asked, Can we stay in touch? Daisy Zane picked up a lotus root mp and nodded, Mmm. William felt morefortable and smiled, Lets eat. After finishing the meal, William had originally wanted to send Daisy back to the film set, but he was worried that if they were photographed together, it might affect her. So, he just watched as she left with her driver. As soon as Daisy had left, he drove to Oxford City. It took William four hours to reach his destination, and when he arrived, he immediately ran inside. The old master was fishing in the back courtyard when he suddenly saw William rushing in and thought something had happened to the Lane family. Before the old master could even stand up and ask, William was already kneeling in front of him, Grandfather. The old masters heart sank as he looked at William. He gently patted him on the head tofort him, Whats wrong? Is there news about L? Kneeling there with his face buried in the old masters body, William softly confirmed with a nod. The old master swallowed hard, and after a while, he asked with a trembling voice, Good news? Or bad news?
Good news. William, who had been trying to control his emotions for the past two days, suddenly burst into tears. Grandfather, I found L. I found her. Found? Found her? As soon as he heard the news, the old master froze for a moment, then suddenly staggered backward. William quickly supported him and stood up, helping the old master sit down. The housekeeper also immediately ran to get the medicine, and dialed the doctors number as he ran. Grandfather, how are you feeling? Wheres L? Found her? Where is she? Why didnt shee? The old master, gripping Williams wrist and flushed with excitement, asked anxiously, How is she? Where is she? Did you really find her? Grandfather, dont get too excited. I really found her. William smiled, Shes in Imperial Capital, and shes doing well. Let me tell you everything slowly. The doctor arrived quickly, checked on the old master, and found that his blood pressure had risen due to emotional excitement. After taking his medicine, William helped him back to his room. He told the old master everything he knew from the past two days, including their meeting at noon and Daisys request not to tell the family. After listening, the old master pondered and said, They have not been together for ten years. And she was only thirteen when she went missing. We missed half of her growth, and she has forgotten everything that happened before. Its normal for her to be unfamiliar, uneasy, and unustomed. Yes, William said, but she didnt reject my approach.
Looking at the videos of Daisy on his tablet and holding the longevity lock in his hand, the old master said, As long as shes doing well, Ill be at ease. For everything else well take it one step at a time. Mm. I heard that being an actor is very tiring, the old master said. Tell her to take good care of her health. Mm. William paused and then added, Grandfather, theres one more thing. What? Shes married to Arthur North. Upon hearing this, the old master dropped his tablet, What? With whom? Arthur North? Grandfather, dont get too excited. Didnt Arthur recognize her? The old master then added, Well, it makes sense since you stopped letting Arthur see L when she was very young. Its only natural that he wouldnt recognize her after shes changed so much. William thought, He did indeed have to take responsibility for this. In order to prevent Arthur from getting his sister, William had always kept Arthur away from L. But damn it, she was still taken away by him. L has loved Arthur since she was a child, the old master cleared his throat, clearly hiding hisughter and pretending to be calm, I like Arthur too. So hes really my grandson-inw now. William: Chapter 452: 396: How Did He Come Too? Chapter 452: Chapter 396: How Did He Come Too? William Lane stayed in Oxford City for a day and a night, and only left after ensuring the Old Masters blood pressure had stabilized.
During this time, the Old Master portrayed himself as someoneposed, calm, and able to handle any situation. He asserted himself as the head of the family, unaffected by any situation. However, once William Lane left, the Old Master quickly ordered his things to be packed. Hurry up, hurry up, we need to return to Imperial Capital, Old Master Lane said. My granddaughter is there; we must return quickly. Old Master The housekeeper looked at him, confused by his sudden change of attire,plete with a bow tie. What are you waiting for? Start packing, the Old Master continued. Make sure to pack everything I need for a long stay in Imperial Capital. Oh, alright.
Be quick about it, the Old Master urged. You all start packing, and Ill head back to Imperial Capital on my own. Old Master, even if you return you wont be able to see Miss Daisy. How would you know I wont be able to see her, Old Master Lane retorted. Even if I cant Ill still be closer to my granddaughter. It makes me feel at ease knowing that we are breathing the same city air. The housekeeperughed: Alright, alright. Ill apany you first, and let the others pack. Well go enjoy some fresh air together. Thats more like it. Lets get a move on. However, not long after the Old Masters return Daisy Zane left for Continent A, forcing the drama crew to halt their work. Five days before Daisy left for Continent A While enjoying a break from filming, she received a phone call from Luke. On Continent As seaside, arge number of corpses had washed ashore after the tide receded. Preliminary autopsy reports suggested that they had been injected with or had ingested high doses of the drug 319. Apart from that, the death toll in Continent A continued to rise. Some people who had taken 319 didnt die instantly, but as time went on without treatment, they eventually sumbed to death, causing the death toll to keep rising.
After receiving Lukes call and learning about the situation, Kevin rk immediately phoned Daisy. The Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute was ordered to assist in Continent A. Kevin rk would lead the team. Kevin rk said, Have you heard the news? Yeah, Luke just called me. Im on my way to the airport. Kevin rk continued. I might be busy soon and wont have time to keep in touch. I know, Daisy replied. Please be careful. Dposing corpses might produce contagious viruses, so make sure to take necessary precautions. Dont worry, I will. After speaking with Kevin rk, Daisy sought out Michael Jackson. She didnt go into specifics but mentioned that she needed to leave for an indefinite period. After discussing the matter, they decided the only option was for the drama crew to stop working, as there was no telling when Daisy would return. On the day the crew halted work, Daisy became a trending topic online, criticized for being unprofessional and acting like a diva. Though both thepany and Hill Dawson had tried to exin that Daisy had unavoidable matters to attend to,izens remained unsympathetic.
They insulted her harshly online. However, Daisy didnt care about the online bacsh. Instead, she went to theboratory at Imperial Capital University. For five days, she didnt leave theboratory. Her meals were brought to her by Anisa Cooper, and she would eat in the corridor outside theb. She even slept in theboratory. After five days, her hypothesis was validated, prompting her to draft a report and send it to Ezekiel Santiago. Daisy had been visiting theb to validate her theoryshe believed she could control 319 to some extent. This idea was only preliminarily confirmed, and required further experimentation. But for now, she needed more information about the situation in Continent A. She needed to know about the people who had used 319, the state of the corpses, and the dosages of 319. The only way she could ess this information in Continent A was by joining the research institute as an internal staff member with the authority to deal with these core matters. So this report would act as her ticket to get there. Sure enough Ezekiel Santiago approved her proposal right away.
He even provided a letter of rmendation. Ezekiel Santiagos assistant delivered the letter to the airport. When Daisy arrived at the airport, she collected the letter and immediately boarded the ne. While she was on the ne, Kevin rk received a message from Ezekiel Santiago. Kevin rk saw the report and had to admit that Nicholson Amos was a genius. All the researchers in the institutebined might not be as capable as her. Moreover, they needed her urgently. Dean said, Kevin, dont give her a hard time. Im not, do I really have such a reputation in your eyes? You know better than anyone else when you make things difficult for those you dont like, the Dean retorted. You wont be difficult when ites to work, but in other areas I cant say for sure. Kevin rk: Shes just a young woman
Should I find someone to look after her specifically? That wont be necessary, the Dean dered. Kevin rk said, As long as she focuses on the experiments, I wont say a word. Ill be busy anyway. Thats great. Get along well, Ezekiel Santiago said, trying to lighten the mood. The institute will rely on both of you in the future. After their call, Kevin rk made arrangements for someone to pick Daisy up from the airport. Michael Jackson asked, Is Nicholson Amosing? Yes, replied Kevin rk, looking at the report. For someone toe up with such an idea, they must have had frequent contact with 319, probably even experimented with it. Nicholson Amos had conducted unauthorized experiments with 319 and where did she get so much of the drug? Daisy took a ten-hour-plus flight, sleeping the entire way. Afternding, she was picked up by a research institute staff member and slept during the entire drive. Upon arriving at the base, she first went to her assigned living quarters, took a shower, and ate before getting straight to work. The dean has instructed us to cooperate fully with you, said her guide. Would you like to go directly to theboratory or
Id like to see the autopsy reports first, she replied. Alright, follow me. More and more corpses were being retrieved from the shoreline, and the number of autopsy reports increased ordingly. Daisy reviewed reports for two hours, noting that the doses involved in the cases seemed to be consistent. You must be Nicholson Amos, right? a sudden voice asked. Your professor is asking for you. My professor? Daisy was surprised. Was he here too? Yes, hes in theb in the Third District. Youd better go quickly. Alright, thank you. Daisy collected the autopsy reports and headed over to the Third District. She was genuinely surprised: instead of encountering Kevin rk first, it was her professor she had to go meet. Why on earth was the professor here, too? Chapter 453: 397 Tattoo Chapter 453: Chapter 397 Tattoo Upon reaching the third district, someone was waiting for her: Are you Nicholson Amos?
Daisy Zane nodded her head. Come with me; the professor is free at the moment. Ill take you to him. Thank you. No need to be polite. Youre our savior. The boy led her to an office. Daisy Zane stood at the entrance for two seconds, then knocked on the door, and pushed it open after waiting for a while. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Kevin rk, who was inside eating.
He was wearing a whiteb coat, with a mask hanging on one ear. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kevin rk looked up. His usually sharp eyes became unexpectedly gentle, but it was done in such a haste that the softness didnt fullye through. Their eyes met, and they both froze for an instant. Then Daisy Zane looked around the office, made sure no one else was there, and closed the door again. The boy who had brought her here was about to leave, but when he saw her close the door, he stopped: Whats wrong? Daisy Zane looked at the boy, paused for two seconds: Is there only the professor inside? The professor who is looking for me? Yes. The boy nodded nkly, Youre Nicholson Amos, right? Daisy Zane opened the door again. This time when she opened it, Kevin rk was standing at the door. The boy saw him and respectfully greeted, Professor. Daisy Zane asked the boy, Is he the one looking for me? The boy continued to nod nkly, Have you never seen your professor? Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk again. She had seen him all too well.
At this moment, Kevin rk also reacted. The words Little Girl, what are you doing here? that were on the tip of his tongue turned into a cautiously asked question, Are you Nicholson Amos? Daisy Zane clenched the hand hanging by her side. Seeing this, Kevin rk immediately grabbed her hand, pulled her into the office, and locked the door behind them. He cleared his throat, Little Girl let me exin. Daisy Zane looked at him. The bald, big-bellied, over sixty years old man she imagined who was holding her back and postponing her graduation Was her husband. What a damn coincidence. Exin. Daisy Zane said these three words with an icy tone. I With the numerous words in the Chinese dictionary, Kevin rk couldnt manage to say anything beyond I Daisy Zanes hand rxed, tightened again, and rxed again. All her feelings finally funnelled into one sentence, she gritted her teeth, I demand 18-point line spacing. Kevin rk hugged her, stroked her head, and instantly agreed, Okay, no problem. Lets do what Madam says.
Daisy Zane took a light breath. Business before personal matters were crucial, she thought, putting her personal grudge aside for now. Christian life is long, she can slowly settle their scores. When did you cook this meal? Breakfast. Daisy Zane said, Go eat first. Have you eaten yet? Asked Kevin rk. I have. Daisy Zane said, Eat yours. As Kevin rk was eating, the two discussed their current situation. Our main task now is to save the lives of those still alive. Daisy Zane said, I need to know the doses inside their bodies. What conditions are they currently in. Epilepsy, hallucinations, unconsciousness. Some also have fever and swelling. Kevin rk said, We have notified everyone; if symptoms appear, they must seek medical attention immediately. We will be able to keep track of the situation firsthand. If the experiment is sessful, it will only keep them alive. Daisy Zane said, Aplete cure is not feasible.
I trust you. The experiment has a high potential for sess; it will be sessful. Kevin rk said, Right now, the most important thing is to stay alive. I need the doses inside their bodies with the smallest margin of error possible. Alright. Kevin rk said, Focus on your experiment, Ill get people to measure the doses, and batch by batch, wellpile them for you. Hmm. In Continent A, Daisy Zane was busy with her experiment day and night. Meanwhile, the domestic inte was filled with continuous usations and criticisms against Daisy Zane. It had been a week, but it showed no signs of subsiding. Since Kevin rk wasnt in the country, William Lane had been busy at the research institute. He had people managing the online news. Allonzo Hobson was dealing with it on his end too. Celestial Pivot Holt Lawrence was on the verge of cyber-attacking every website, but his rational mind held him back in the end.
The stricter their control, the harsher the criticism online. The more people said that Daisy Zane was using her connections andined about the injustice of society and the people using their power to get ahead. So, they decided to ignore theizens altogether. After all they couldnt rify anything right now. Daisy Zanes whereabouts had to be kept 100% confidential to guarantee her safety. And with all kinds of online rumors circting about where Daisy Zane had gone and what she was doing C described vividly C indirectly protected Daisy Zanes whereabouts. Holt Lawrence, sitting with hisputer in the hospital apanying William Butch, asked, Is this Jessica Maxwell from your ss? William Butch, now helping Holt Lawrence deal with some things, responded, Yes. Ive found that shes established many anti-fan groups, and shes leading many discussions, Holt Lawrence said, Shes the ringleader of Nanas anti-fans. Following Holts lead, William Butch found those groups, Did you hack them? No need to, Holt Lawrence replied, Theyve photoshopped a lot of memes; its kind of fun. Ill save a few first. William Butch:
News on the inte was spreading like wildfire, not just worrying for William Lane and Holt Lawrence. Olivia Lane was also very concerned, but her calls to Daisy Zane went unanswered, as did her messages. She asked Allonzo Hobson and the rest. Allonzo Hobson only said not to worry, that Daisy Zane was fine. But she still hadnt received any news and was still a bit uneasy. Daisy Zane wouldnt ignore her messages. Until a weekter, after evening self-study, Olivia Lane was about to take a shower when Daisy Zane replied with a message: [Dont worry, Im fine. Focus on your studies and pay less attention to online news.] Olivia Lane quickly replied, but after waiting for a while, Daisy Zane didnt reply again. Amelie, hurry to the shower. Her roommate called her, The lights will be out soon. Okay. Olivia Lane responded and waited for a while longer. Seeing that Daisy Zane hadnt replied, she put her cell phone down and undressed, preparing to take a bath. Her roommate had just finished her shower and was tidying up her things when she looked up and saw Olivia Lane undressing. The tattoo on her shoulder was exposed. Her roommate startled, then approached her, Amelie! You got a tattoo. Olivia Lane rarely changed clothes in front of them. She was distracted today and undressed directly. When her roommate spoke, she was taken aback, then said, I got it when I was a child. You got it when you were a child? Yes. As the two were talking, another roommate returned. Seeing them close together, she also joined in the fun. She also asked, Amelie, you got a tattoo?! Olivia Lane repeated what she had just said. A tattoo from childhood? But it seems simr to the tattoo on Daisy Zanes shoulder. Olivia Lane, who had just picked up her pajamas to take a shower, heard her words and suddenly dropped her pajamas from her hand. She looked at this roommate, What did you say? Daisy Zane also has a tattoo like this. The roommate picked up her clothes for her and looked at the other roommate, You saw it that morning, didnt you? Yes. I was going to say that it seems simr. Theyre both crowns, but the pattern on top seems different. Olivia Lanes breathing suddenly became heavy and unstable, her eyes reddening with excitement. She took a step forward and grabbed her roommates hand, Are you sure she also has it on her shoulder? Amelie, whats wrong? Are you not feeling well? Just tell me whether Daisy Zane has a tattoo on her shoulder. The two roommates were somewhat worried about her, but still said, Yes, the shape should be exactly the same, but the patterns on top seem a bit different. I cant remember clearly. Just saw it that morning. Yes. I also think its simr. The color is the same. Olivia Lane stood there, stupefied, as if her soul had drifted away. The tears that suddenly welled up in her eyes fell directly onto the floor. Amelie, whats wrong? What happened? Youre scaring us. Hearing the voice, Olivia Lane snapped back to reality. She put on her coat and walked out, but when she got to the door, she came back to grab her cell phone. When her roommates called her, she didnt hear them. She went straight downstairs, left the dormitory building, and headed towards the school entrance. She dialed William Lanes number while walking: Brother, where are you,e to school and pick me up now. Hearing her sobbing voice, William Lane immediately became rmed, What happened? Whats the matter? Olivia Lane broke down and started crying. As she walked towards the school entrance, her crying voice became somewhat unclear, Come and pick me up,e and pick me up now! Okay. Iming right away. Stay in the school, donte out. Olivia Lane sobbed in response, Okay. Chapter 454: 398: Gaining Control Chapter 454: Chapter 398: Gaining Control The journey from the Research Institute to the School, William Lane managed to cut it in half by speeding in the car.
The car stopped at the school entrance, and he rushed out. Amelie Quentin was squatting at the entrance, staring at the ground, her small shoulders shaking uncontrobly. Amelie. As soon as William Lane called out to her, Amelie Quentin immediately looked up. Upon seeing him, she rose and threw herself into his arms. Whats wrong? Holding her close, William Lane ran his hand through her hair, Did someone bully you at school? Whatever it is, stop crying. Your brother is here. Upon hearing this, Amelie Quentin cried even harder, her words choked with sobs, Brother, brother, I-I-Imy sister, my sister.
What? William Lane couldnt make out what she was saying because she was crying so loudly. My sister, Amelie Quentin clutched his clothes tightly, My sister! Daisy Zane! Daisy Zane! Finally, William Lane heard her clearly and stroked her hair, Alright, alright. Dont cry anymore. Daisy Zane is my sister, shes my sister! Brother, you have to find her, you have to find her! Okay, Amelie, you need to calm down. Listen to your brother. We have to find her first. We have to find my sister first! Amelie Quentin detached herself from his embrace, pushing him towards the car. Hence, William Lane brought her back to the car. Once in the car, Amelie Quentin urged him to drive off. William Lane handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, Amelie, you need to listen to your brother first. Ive already seen L and we have already had a talk. Amelie Quentins eyes, reddened from crying, looked at him helplessly. As she took some time toprehend his words, her previously calm demeanor copsed once again. Then, she began crying loudly again. William Lane: Err, Amelie?
Youve been keeping this from me! On a pitch-dark night, a car was parked under a streetmp. The girl inside the car kept chattering non-stop. But William Lane didntprehend a single word of what she was saying. He had a feeling that his sister was berating him, but he had no evidence to support it. Eventually, Amelie Quentin began to calm down. William Lane breathed a sigh of relief, Amelie, your brother didnt mean to hide this from you. Amelie Quentin looked down, sniffling a little before responding quietly, You have a chance to exin. William Lane exined the situation to her, L asked me not to tell anyone at home first. I wasnt sure how to bring it up to you. I had found her, yet she doesnt wish to acknowledge us. William Lane didnt know how to break the news to Amelie Quentin. He wasnt sure how she would react once she knew. He was worried that Amelie Quentin wouldnt be able to handle it.
He was also afraid that her reaction wouldnt be any better than it is now. She might go ahead and find L Campbell immediately. She might even drag L Campbell back home, causing a huge scene. William Lane had promised L Campbell he would give her time, and he didnt want Amelie Quentin to be upset. So he decided to keep this a secret. Waiting for L Campbell to adjust to the situation somewhat, he then nned to tell Amelie Quentin. He did not expect her to find out so soon. Amelie, L has not returned home for ten years, and she doesnt remember what happened in the past, William Lane said softly. To her we are practically strangers. We need to give her some time and not force her to do anything, agreed? Amelie Quentin was silent for a moment before replying with a thick nasal voice, How could my sister forget me. But your sister still treats you well, doesnt she? William Lane tucked her hair behind her ear, Your sister will take good care of you and protect you. Amelie Quentin stayed silent again before responding, Hmm. How did you recognize her? Asked William Lane. How did you? Amelie Quentin shot back. I recognized her when I saw her on the rooftop of the hotel, William Lane dered.
Amelie Quentin recalled his reaction back then. Hence, he was so agitated not because he was angry but because he had recognized her, But she looks different now than she did back then. Yes, indeed. You must have had your suspicions too. Thats why you became so attached to her. Hmm. Amelie Quentin acknowledged, Ipared her handwriting, but it didnt match. William Lane couldnt help butugh. So how did you recognize her? The tattoo, the one on her shoulder, Amelie Quentin admitted, She revealed it while recording a show at the school. My roommate saw it. Today, they saw mine too, and said they were the same. William Lane immediately remembered the tattoos they both had. Both shaped like crowns, intertwined with intricate patterns. When put together, they formed the totem of the Lane. The designs were drawn by L Campbell and each one of them got a tattoo. At the age of ten, L Campbell took the six-year-old Amelie Quentin to get a tattoo. No one knew how they managed to convince their maid to give them the tattoos. Nevertheless, when they were discovered Sophie Ortiz was furious.
Both girls were reprimanded while the other three men in the family, William Lane, Andrew Lane, and The Old Master Lane watched from afar, too afraid to intervene. Everyone had to stand in attendance while only Sophie Ortiz was seated, scolding the girls for over two hours. It ended when Amelie Quentin started crying. But she did the DNA identification with the Miles family, which is why I Amelie Quentin began. William Lane interjected, She is not Daisy Zane. She simply used Daisy Zanes identity. As to exactly how things happened I am also not clear of the details. Amelie Quentin nodded before being silent for a while. She then asked, Do our parents know? I havent told them yet, William Lane dered. When I came home from Grandfathers, Dad had already gone to M Continent with Mom for the world tour. They probably wont be back for another two months. I didnt want them to be distracted which is why I decided to wait until theye back. So thats why you were hiding it from me. William Lane: Humph. Its my fault. I want to go home. I dont want to go back to school.
Okay, good. Ill talk to your teacher. Meanwhile, Daisy Zane was conducting experiments in Continent A, oblivious to the repeated revtions about her identity. Using the first batch of the 319 potion given by Harton rk, she developed an elixir to suppress the effects of the 319. Only after arge number of repeated tests was the elixir rolled out for use. Fortunately, the 319 in the human body was suppressed. Although it was not eradicated and there would still be some reactions once 319 entered the body, at least peoples lives were protected. Edward Kirsten wanted to conduct tests using different dosages of the 319 potion. Therefore, they could only cooperate with the hospital to measure the 319 in each person identified, developing targeted elixirs batch by batch, and producing them in bulk. This process required massive manpower and resources. It took nearly two months of constant experimenting, researching, and production, before the situation in Continent A was brought under control. Meanwhile, over these two months, Continent A kept investigating and tracing the source of 319. They were strictly prevent the further spread of 319. As soon as it was discovered, it was immediately seized. All this while, timely control measures meant that dead bodies in the sea did not spread infectious viruses. In response to the situation in Continent A, all other continents also stepped up their precautions. The grim situation seemed to be temporarily under control. Chapter 455 - 399: Storage Card Chapter 455: Chapter 399: Storage Card Weve been so busy, we didnt even celebrate the new year. Said the person from the Research Institute who was sent to help. Things are under control on Continent A-side. If a different dose of 319 appears again,boratories in Continent A have the ability to control it. Its already the end of February, and people from the Research Institute are nning to return home. Speaking of the New Year, Daisy almost missed out on eating dumplings on New Years Eve. It was only when the professor called her out of theboratory that she got to eat one. Daisy Zane: During the Chinese New Year, when everyone was busy, the logistics department of theboratory in Continent A specially prepared dumplings for the people from the Research Institute. Daisy only ate one. She and Kevin rk exchanged New Years greetings and then went back to their work. Although both of them were at the experimental base, sometimes they wouldnt see each other for days. Busy day and night. On Kevins birthday, at thest minute, Daisy remembered and called him to wish him a happy birthday, and then the two began to get busy again. Kevin had already forgotten about it, not even getting to eat longevity noodles. On January 5, William Lane also sent her a message. However, Daisy saw the message two dayster. They rested in Continent A for two days before embarking on their return journey. Daisy slept most of the time during these two days to catch up on her sleep, even leaning on Kevin and sleeping on the way from theboratory to the airport. Daisy must be exhausted. An elder professor in the car with Kevin and others said. Kevin nodded without making a sound. Such a talented person, she can be directly admitted to the Research Institute out of order, said another professor, For this matter, Daisy is definitely the top contributor. Kevin looked at Daisy. Indeed, not only was it the restraint of 319, but also the feasibility of her method, which had a breakthrough impact on the research of the entire pharmaceutical formtion. It can be said to be a breakthrough contribution. Entering the Research Institute out of order, no one would object. However The little girl had many things left undone. Once she enters the Research Institute, she might not have so much time left. So, this matter still depends on her own wishes. Dean Yue must have deliberately asked you to bring Daisy, the professor continued, Geniuses often spark ideas when theyre together. As he said this, Kevin suddenly remembered many things. Since knowing the little girls true identity, they had been busy, and a lot of things happened before he had time to think about them in detail. Now that the professor mentioned it, many events took a clear form. For instance, when they first met not long ago, the little girl had a fever. At that time, he seemed to have asked her to stay up all night to verify many cumbersome and straightforward experiments. Andter The little girl was always busy, night after night, not going home, and he might have assigned tasks to her. Also! When he entered the Discipline Hall, the little girl asked for leave to go to the Mountain Sea Continent to take care of him. Other than these events, the little girl was absent twice from the research discussions, and her half-year disappearance seemed to coincide with the real death of Daisy and her grandmother. The more Kevin thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about how much trouble he was in, the more he thought the little girl had been quiet all these days, perhaps holding back a big move. Kevin suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Kevins heartbeat suddenly quickened. Kevin suddenly found it difficult to breathe. While he was in a state of shock, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the front of the car. The sound of bullets hitting the car. The driver, startled, instinctively turned the steering wheel, then immediately straightened up again. The car swayed violently, and Kevin first reached out to support Daisys face. Daisy instantly opened her eyes and looked outside. To get to the airport from theboratory, they had to pass through a forest, which they had just arrived at. Theres an ambush, the driver sped up and said, Third Master, hold on tight. With bloodshot eyes from just waking up, Daisy red fiercely: Theyre targeting us. Kevin also nced outside: Were blocking their way. What should we do? What should we do? They have guns, said the senior professor who hadnt experienced this kind of thing before, panicking, Can those escorting us fight back? As they spoke, bullets kept hitting the car, bing more and more intense. The senior professor bent down, covering his head, Domestic safety is still the best; nowhere is safer than home. This kind of thing wont happen at home. Quite a few of them. Chapter 456 - 399: Storage Card_2 Chapter 456: Chapter 399: Storage Card_2 Kevin rk sent a message to Thomas Firway: Its okay, Thomas and his crew are following us. The driver was also there to protect them and elerated the car to leave the forest quickly. However, not long after moving forward, the car tire was shot, and the vehicle stopped in its tracks. What should we do? What should we do? the older professor asked anxiously. Daisy Zane looked at the car window and said, This ss cant withstand a snipers bullet. They want to capture us alive, Kevin rk said. The car wasnt modified, so the windows could be easily broken, but they hadnt done that; they had only forced them to stop. The older professor, clutching his head, suddenly trembled, I swear Ill never help them with their research to harm people. Daisy Zane looked at the peopleing from outside and said coldly, Dont worry, professor. Theyre the ones wholl die. Kevin rk took a gun from a nearby bag and handed it to Daisy Zane along with some bullets and a dagger. After that, he picked up another gun for himself and loaded it. The driver and professor looked at them, You? Kevin rk opened the car door and said to the driver, Protect the professor. After saying this, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane both got out of the car. The professor wanted to pull them back into the car, but the sound of the car door mming shut startled him. Oh, what are they doing? The professor said to the driver, You go protect them, hurry up. Im old, my contribution ends here, but they are the hope of the future. The driver looked outside and replied, If I go out they might have to protect me instead. Huh? The professor was scared but still looked outside. He saw Nicholson Amos shoot someone dead without blinking an eye. The sight frightened the professor, who immediately withdrew his head and said, In that case, youd better not go out and make a mess. The driver: Thomas Firway and his crew arrived quickly, and the battle between both sides was chaotic. The researchers had almost zerobat power, so their safety had to be guaranteed 100%. The other party obviously wanted to kidnap the researchers, so they hadnt used lethal force on the people in the car. However, they did use lethal force on the bodyguards outside the car. But what they didnt expect was that the person they wanted the most had joined the fight, bing one of the people they wanted to kill the most. The woman and the man had formidablebat power, greatly reducing the enemys strength. During close-quarterbat, when Daisy Zane was fighting intensely against three opponents, she spotted a sniper aiming at her from a distance. She immediately dodged, but the bullet grazed her neck. It didnt hurt her skin, but it broke the red rope tied around her neck. The ne fell off. She didnt have time to pick it up and hid behind a tree. Kevin rk immediately ordered Thomas Firway to take out the sniper. When he went to check on Daisy Zane, the usually urate Third Master rk had a shockingly bad marksmanship this time, missing several shots. When he reached Daisy Zane, he inspected her body and saw the red mark on her neck. Kevin rks eyes turned red in an instant. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes, changed her magazine, and held Kevin rks trembling fingertips: Its okay. Kevin rk looked at her for a moment, then called out to Thomas Firway, Thomas. Yes. Dont leave any survivors. Understood! Kevin rk knew that Daisy Zane could dodge the bullet, but he was still scared in that moment. If not for the red rope, her neck skin would have been grazed by the bullet. The battle was intense, and for a while, no one noticed a few extra people who didnt belong to Thomas Firways side or those escorting the researchers to the airport. Because everyone was fighting together against the enemy, no one thought much of it. Thomas Firway thought those people were escort bodyguards. The escort bodyguards thought they were Thomas Firways people. So, it wasnt until the battle was almost over, and the few people left heading deeper into the forest, that Thomas Firway realized something was off. After the fight, Thomas Firway reported this to Kevin rk. However, neither Kevin rk nor Daisy Zane had seen those people. It seemed like those people had deliberately avoided them, nevering near them. Arthur, Arthur. The older professor who had just gotten out of the car approached Kevin rk. Kevin rk walked over to him, Whats wrong? Arthur, during the chaos just now, someone wearing a disguise gave me this note, The professor handed the note to Kevin rk, They said to give it to you or Lady Zane. Whos Lady Zane? Or did I mishear? Daisy Zane, who had picked up the pendant, also came over. Kevin rk took the note and opened it to read. [The people from M Continent Laboratory hired them. M Continent Laboratory is secretly coborating with Edward Kirsten. Be prepared.] The professor handed the note to him and returned to the car. Thomas Firway didnt look at the contents of the note either. Kevin rk paused, then looked at Daisy Zane, These handwriting I dont recognize it, Daisy Zane said. It was very ugly handwriting. Both of them didnt discuss the note much, they needed to escort the researchers out of the area first, as this ce could be ambushed again at any time. Kevin rk put away the note, and Daisy Zane patted off the dried leaves that had stuck to the pendants red rope. She wasnt sure if she applied too much force, if the glue holding the pendant had weakened over time, or if it had just fallen. The pendant suddenly cracked open. The pendant was a heart-shapedbination of two goose egg stones, polished and glued together; the outside was a small-like weave of red rope. It suddenly broke apart, and Daisy Zanes hand shook slightly as she held it. Kevin rk also looked at it. He knew the pendant was specially made for the real Daisy Zane, and she cherished it. Just as he was about to say somethingforting, he saw Daisy Zane pull out a small ck storage card from the cracked pendant. He swallowed the words he was about to say. Daisy Zanes brow also creased slightly. Chapter 457: 400: Return to the Homeland Chapter 457: Chapter 400: Return to the Homnd Due to the ambush, the vehicles were damaged to varying degrees, and the people in the research institute were also somewhat startled.
But everyone discussed and decided to return home immediately. At least its safe in the country. So the guards were reced by Thomas Firways men, and the original bodyguards stayed behind to deal with the aftermath. After more than ten hours on the ne, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as soon as itnded. Finally home, finally safe, finally at ease. Everyone went to the research institute for a meeting first and reported on their support in Continent A.
Then each person handed in a summary report. Daisy Zane was not considered part of the research institute, so she wanted to slip through not writing the report. However, as a student of Kevin rk and having gone to Continent A together, the report had to be written. There was no escape. At the end of the meeting, Ezekiel Santiago even asked Kevin rk and Daisy Zane to stay. As soon as the others left and the meeting room door closed, Ezekiel Santiagos eyes lit up. This light was full of gossip. Whats going on between you two? How do I hearthat you two are quite ambiguous? Daisy Zane: Kevin rk looked at him: Is it wrong for a legal couple to be ambiguous? !! Ezekiel Santiago red, Legal couple? You two got married?! When did this happen? Howe I didnt know? It happenedst year. Daisy Zane said. Ezekiel Santiago looked at the two of them in amazement for a while and then said to Kevin rk, You little bastard, youve gone too far. Youve just abducted a good seedling that Ive found so hard.
Kevin rk: Hey? No, no. You two are married? And you dont know each others identities? Kevin rk: Daisy Zane: Whats the big deal about getting married? Arent there many things they dont know about each other? Whats the difference of one more? Ezekiel Santiago looked at their cold faces andughed softly, Oh, Kevin, who was telling me recently that Nicholson Amoss attitude is problematic and not suitable for entering the research institute. Kevin rk just picked up a cup of tea, and it spilled all over his hand. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and looked at Kevin rk sideways. Kevin rk swallowed his saliva: I Ezekiel Santiago took a sip of tea casually: It was he who told me that the girl who fishes for three days and suns thes for two, always asks for leave and disappears for half a year, needs to be checked by him before it can be decided whether she can enter the research institute. Really? Daisy Zane asked friendly. Kevin rk: I
He couldnt say the two words stuck in his throat like thorns. He indeed said that. People who dont hand in their report format correctly These people need to be deliberately failed to teach them a lesson. Ezekiel Santiago kept going, adding fuel to the fire, If theres another time, I wont sign her graduation qualification. The research institute doesnt need such a person. Daisy Zane looked at Kevin rk indifferently, and then took her eyes back and took a sip of tea, not saying anything. Kevin rks heart seemed to be beating wildly, he looked at Daisy Zane, then at Ezekiel Santiago, squinting his eyes: It seems that the institutes funding hasnt been approved this year. Pfft C cough cough cough Ezekiel Santiagos throat was choked by tea and he coughed for a while. Daisy Zane took two tissues for him. As he coughed, Ezekiel Santiago pointed at Kevin rk and said after a while, Ok, youre ruthless. Dean Yue could bend or stretch, Of course Kevin always praises you, saying youre a rare talent. Daisy Zane politely said, Thank you for the Third Masters praise. Kevin rks mouth twitched a couple of times, as what he heard seemed to be saying Let me consider where to bury you. After these things were said, the three people talked about serious matters.
Ezekiel Santiago said that he could allow Daisy Zane to enter the research institute with special permission, but she refused for now. Entering the research institute She could no longer fish for three days and sun thes for two. Daisy Zane didnt know if she would be able to fulfill her true wish. She could only go as far as she could. For now, she could still not enter the research institute and continue to move forward. Ezekiel Santiago didnt force her, as he was willing to make an exception for her abilities. Kevin rk then told Ezekiel Santiago about the M Continent Laboratorys secret partnership with Edward Kirsten. The identity of the note passer is unknown, and the message cannot be verified as true or false. Kevin rk said, But we have to be prepared. We started suspecting the M Continent Laboratory when I was attackedst time. If theyre also in cahoots with Edward Kirsten it might be a bit troublesome. Ezekiel Santiago said. Kevin rk said, The factions within the M Continent Laboratory are also divided, and some people are afraid of having other intentions for power struggles. We should also pay more attention internally. Ezekiel Santiago said, The research institute involves the interests of various families, so we must be prepared. Kevin rk nodded.
Daisy Zane listened quietly to their conversation without participating in their topic. After the three finished chatting, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane left. As soon as the two of them stepped out of the meeting room, they saw Turner Daniel standing outside the door. Turner Daniel was stunned when he saw Daisy Zane, then nced at Kevin rk and said, Sister Xie, what are you doing here? Daisy Zane nced at the folder in his hand. Thest time she heard news about Turner Daniel was when he left the circle, and then there was no news. She didnt expect him to join the research institute: Looking for the Dean? Yeah. Hes inside. Turner Daniel nodded and pushed the door into the meeting room in some confusion. Meanwhile, Kevin rk looked at Turner Daniel and asked, Who is he? The deans grandson. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, What a coincidence. Daisy Zane suddenly thought of Siera Santiago from the Mountain Sea Continent: Siera Santiago
As Madam thought. Kevin rk took her hand and walked out, The deans granddaughter. Turner Daniels cousin. A few years ago, her parents died in an experimental explosion. Her father was very good to me when he was alive, both as a teacher and a friend. So I took care of her a bit. Daisy Zane nodded, You should. As the two of them left the research institute and got into the car, Daisy Zane took the note from Kevin rks pocket and looked at it again. She indeed didnt recognize the handwriting, but since the other party knew Edward Kirsten, she always vaguely felt that she should know this person. If this persons words are true. How does he know that M Continent is cooperating with Edward Kirsten? And why doesnt he show his face. Kevin rk was also thinking about this. Daisy Zane said again, He even pointed out to give the note to you or me. He knows us both and seems to understand us well. Kevin rk said, The matter about Edward Kirsten has always been very confidential, and not many people know about it. This person knows Edward Kirsten, knows you, knows me, and may also know about the M Continent Laboratory. For someone who meets these conditions neither Kevin rk nor Daisy Zane could think of a specific person. Because starting from the direction of Edward Kirsten, there were no acquaintances for Kevin rk. Chapter 458: 401: The Three Siblings Chapter 458: Chapter 401: The Three Siblings After returning from Continent A, Daisy stayed in the Rose Garden for one night before heading to the Celestial Pivot.
The storage card in the pendant was encrypted. It was a bit difficult to decipher. Daisy didnt dare to forcefully crack it, fearing that it would damage the things inside, so she chose the gentlest method to decrypt it bit by bit. It took a lot of time. In two days, she cracked twoyers of passwords. But there were still more encryptions.
Daisy cracked anotheryer, and stared at the 0.0X% progress bar on theputer screen She handed this matter to Holt Lawrence, and asked him to call her if there was any issue he couldnt solve. She needed to prepare to go back to the drama crew to continue filming. Since Daisy and Harton rk didnt stay at home during Chinese New Year, they decided to return to rk Manor whenever they had time. Taking advantage of being home, Daisy wrote a report about supporting Continent A and sent it to Harton rk. After sending it, fearing that Harton rk might not see it, she went straight to his study to find him. Are you busy? Not busy, Harton rk replied, Im reading your report. Then I wont disturb you, go ahead and read it, Daisy said as she was about to leave. Harton rk called her back in time, Hey, Little Girl,e here. Daisy stopped, What is it? Come here, Harton rk smiled.
Daisy always felt that there was some hidden meaning behind his smile, so she walked to his side. As soon as she stood firm, Harton rk hugged her waist and let her sit on hisp. Daisy looked at him, What are you doing? Harton rk kissed her cheek, Looking at the line spacing in your report. Daisy nced at it, and then realized. That was way too wide Definitely not the 18-point they agreed on. It was absolutely one and a half times more. It was agreed to be uniform, but in the end, they adopted his preference. Daisy took the mouse and quickly changed the less than 300-word report she had written back to 18-point spacing. Harton rk watched her series of operations and secretlyughed on the side. Although he didntugh out loud, his whole body was shaking withughter. Daisy was sitting on hisp What are youughing at? Harton rk immediately stoppedughing, Nothing.
Daisy stared at him lightly. Harton rk touched her face, gave a peck on the corner of her mouth, and softly said, I wrote the report for you with 18-point line spacing. Daisy continued to stare at him, Whats the matter? You dont like what I wrote? Madams report is easy to understand, simple, clear, and can be considered exemry, Harton rk responded. Lucia listened as he praised her. However we need a moreplicated version, Harton rk said as he held her hand and whispered, They might not understand it if its too simple. Less than 300 words, one could quickly read it from beginning to end. There were even two sentences mixed in to raise the tone. Daisy was silent for a moment then said, Formality. Madam is right, Harton rk replied as he moved his hand from around her waist and slipped it inside her clothes. Daisy swiftly held his hand. Madam, we havent tried the study.
She knew it. She had to write a report and listen to hispliments. He had been waiting for her here. We havent tried the study, Daisy agreed. Harton rks eyes lit up, So So Third Master can try it by himself here, Im leaving, Daisy said as she pulled his hand out, stood up, and walked out. Remember to write your own insights as well. Harton rk watched her walk away and heard her words. Grinding his teeth, he got up and chased after her, carried her back into the room. Harton rk I have something to doter. What is it? Daisy: Harton rk threw his coat on the table from the chair and have Daisy sit on it while supporting her with his hands on both sides of her body and smiling at her, What is it? Daisy stared into his eyes, paused for a moment, and quickly found an excuse, Your mother and sister-inw asked me to join them for a show. Dont worry about them. You rebellious child!
Harton rkughed, Its not like Ive be rebellious just recently. Daisy: Harton rk kissed her gently. As Daisy scolded herself for being captivated by lust and immersed in Harton rks tenderness, she whispered, The study the door is unlocked. Harton rk picked up a cell phone next to him, tapped it twice, and remotely locked the door. The next day, In the morning, Harton rk went to the Easton Group. Daisy Zane got up early, had breakfast with Natalie Wayne, and started to tease Charles Amos. She yed Go with Charles, and he didnt win a single game. Once Charles didnt want to y anymore, she would say slowly and coldly, A big man like you cant stand to lose. As soon as Charles tried to get up, he would honestly sit down and continue ying with her.
And then hed lose again. It wasnt until after ten oclock that a phone call saved little Charles. It was from Olivia Lane. Daisy picked up the phone, Miss? Charles blinked curiously, wondering which girl had softened her tone. Olivia was silent for a while before asking, Where are you? rk Manor. What are you doing there? Olivia asked unhappily. I Seeing her unable to answer, Olivia continued, Are you avable? Yes. Didnt you say youd take me to meet William Butch? Im at the Doomsday Hotel, Olivia said quietly. Alright, Ille pick you up. Okay. Olivia said, then added, Be careful on the road. After hanging up, Daisy walked out. Charles followed her, What are you going to do? Go out and y. Im going too. Daisy stopped, gave him a nce, and continued walking away without responding. Charles followed her, grumbling, This woman, Ive been ying chess with her all morning, and she just abandons me. Less than three hours, Daisy corrected. I want to go out too. At the entrance, Daisy handed Charles his coat and said, Put it on yourself. Little Charles immediately cheered up, put on his coat, and his shoes. Daisy put on her coat and said, First go to the front courtyard and tell grandparents we wont be back for lunch. Got it, Charles said, Ill tell Uncle rk, too. Mhm. Daisy drove to the Doomsday Hotel to pick up Olivia. When they arrived at the hotel, she didnt let Charles get out of the car and went to find Olivia herself. As soon as she saw Olivia, even before they could speak, Daisy noticed something was wrong with her. Her gaze was off. When did Olivias proud and arrogant eyes start to flicker and carry a hint of grievance? Daisy approached her and asked, Have you been waiting long? Olivia hung her head, and after a short while, she shook her head. Daisy felt like Olivia knew something but pretended not to know. She didnt expose her, and patted her head, Howe weve be so distant after a few days apart? A few days? Olivia replied, Its been more than two months. You dont reply to messages or answer calls. I almost forgot who you were. I was busy with something. Olivia didnt say anything more. Daisy said, Lets go, Ill take you to see William Butch. Olivia followed her out. As soon as the two walked out of the Doomsday Hotel, they saw a car parked at the entrance. Then William Lane got out of the car. The two stopped in their tracks. Seeing them, William also paused for a moment. He finally saw his two sisters together again. He looked at them for a moment, then smiled, Going out to y? In order not to put pressure on Daisy, Olivia acted as if she didnt know anything. Suddenly, she took a step forward, stood between Daisy and William Lane, and seriously introduced, Brother, this is Daisy Zane. This is my brother, William Lane. Both William and Daisy looked at her. Then Daisy lowered her head andughed. What are youughing at? Olivia looked at her. Daisy cleared her throat, I didntugh. Olivia: Did she look that foolish? Seeing Daisyugh, William thought she probably saw through Olivia but didnt expose her. He clenched his hand by his side and said, Where are you going? Ill take you there. As soon as Olivia heard, she immediately wanted to agree so the three siblings could be together, but she held her tongue and looked at Daisy. Daisy saw the pleading hope in her eyes, hesitated, and looked at William, Are you busy? No, just routine check-ups. It doesnt matter if its a day early or a dayte. Alright, lets go together. Both William and Olivia smiled. Daisy saw their happy faces and lifted the corner of her mouth, Well use the car I brought. Theres a little one inside. Olivia: Huh? Chapter 459 - 402: Going to Meet William Butch Chapter 459: Chapter 402: Going to Meet William Butch As the car door opened, Amelie Quentin and Cole Amos looked at each other. Amelie Quentin had already heard that Daisy Zane had a child, and after she found out Daisy Zane was her sister, she figured out who this child was. She didnt know the specifics. She only knew that the childs father seemed to be indebted to Daisy Zane. Cole Amos looked at Amelie Quentin and heard the drivers door open. He looked at the drivers seat and then at William Lane, hesitating for a moment before saying, Brother Roy. Daisy Zane, who had just opened the copilots car door, asked, Have you met before? William Lane nodded, Arthur North William Lane seemed reluctant to mention Arthur North and hesitated for a moment before continuing, He introduced us. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows and got into the car. Amelie Quentin also got into the car and looked at Cole Amos. Cole Amos looked back at her. Not until the car started and traveled some distance, and Daisy Zane had navigated the destination, did the two people in the back stop staring at each other. What are you two doing? Daisy Zane asked, Cole, call her. You havent introduced her to me yet, Cole Amos said. Shes your Brother Roys sister, Daisy Zane replied, typing a message on her phone. William Lane wanted to say something because of her wording, but in the end, he didnt say a word. Instead, Cole Amos quickly responded with a smile: Sister. Amelie Quentin: Hello, sister, Cole Amos said. Youre so beautiful. Youre good-looking, too, Amelie Quentin replied and hesitated before saying, Just call me auntie. Daisy Zane nced at them from the rearview mirror before looking back down at her phone to send a message. Huh? I mean, her and I Amelie Quentin couldnt say the words your mom and pointed to Daisy Zane, Were friends. You call me auntie. But youre Brother Roys sister, and Uncle rk told me to call Brother Roy. Daisy Zane: Daisy Zane couldnt help but look at William Lane, who turned his head and gently smiled at her. For the first time, she had a direct sense of the concept of hierarchy. If she thought about it normally. Arthur North would be her Third Uncle. They had a whole generation gap between them. Child, let me rify this for you, Amelie Quentin said, Who makes the decisions in your family? Cole Amos pursed his lips and looked at Daisy Zane: Mom. And who does your Uncle rk listen to? Mom. Soshouldnt you call me from her side? Cole Amos: Am I right? Amelie Quentin said, If you call me from her side, would Uncle rk dare to say no? Cole Amos looked at Amelie Quentin with pursed lips, and after a while, he said, Auntie. Mhm. Such a good boy, Amelie Quentin caressed Cole Amos curly hair. It feels nice, how is it so soft? Cole Amos didnt say anything and let her touch his hair. William Lane smiled. After all these years, Arthur North still had to call him brother, which was a bit of a bnce amidst ten thousand imbnces in his heart. When they arrived at the destination on the navigation, William Lane looked at the crossroads and then nced at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane said, Go to Dark Street. Dark Street? William Lane eximed in surprise. Amelie Quentin also said, Arent we going to see William Butch? Isnt he in the hospital? Youngdy, he cant be in the hospital all the time, Daisy Zane said, looking at her. Its a waste of money. Amelie Quentin: William Lane smiled and drove the car into Dark Street. Daisy Zane guided him. Eventually, the car stopped in front of a vi one street away from Celestial Pivot. William Lane looked at the Celestial Pivot Tower Building from inside the car. Amelie Quentin, however, said, You left William Butch here?! This is Dark Street, and Celestial Pivot is right across the street. Wont his timid nature be scared by all this? Im not quite sure, I havent seen him since he arrived, Daisy Zane said softly, Lets go take a look together. The three of them followed him out of the car, with Charles Amos running ahead to input the password. As the gate opened, Olivia Lane was surprised for a moment, and William Lane raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the rumors about his sister were somewhat understated. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Holt Lawrence came out to greet them with William Butch from the vi, Nana. Charles. Seeing him, Charles ran towards him, Uncle Lawrence. Holt Lawrence lifted him up in an instant, Oh my, youve gotten so heavy. I wont be able to carry you in a couple more years. William and Olivia Lane both looked at the unkempt man. William Butch also looked at them. Holt Lawrence walked closer with Charles in his arms, first looking at Olivia Lane, then at William Lane, Young Master Lane? Without revealing any emotion, William retracted his observing gaze, reaching out his hand politely, William Lane. Holding Charles with one hand, Holt Lawrence shook Williams hand, Holt Lawrence. Young Master Lane, how are you? Williams pupils trembled slightly in surprise. Olivia Lanes eyes widened. The Celestial Pivots Holt Lawrence?! After shaking hands with William, Holt Lawrence extended his hand towards Olivia, smiling, Nice to meet you Daisy Zanes gaze fell on his hand. Holt Lawrence immediately felt a burning sensation on his hand, and hurriedly pulled his hand back without finishing his sentence. He courteously smiled, Nice to meet you, Holt Lawrence. Olivia Lane nodded her head slightly in greeting, politely saying, Olivia Lane. William Lane watched asDaisy Zane scared Holt Lawrences hand away with just a nce. What had he done to have such an effect? William Butch seemed to feel better when he saw Daisy Zane, but he still felt uneasy when he saw William and Olivia Lane, especially since he didnt know who William was. After exchanging soft greetings, they all entered the vi together. As they entered the vi, Daisy Zane asked, What are you doing here? I heard you wereing, so I came back on purpose. What a purpose, its just one street away. Holt Lawrence: At least the thought is there, right? Can I refuse that thought? Holding his wounded heart, Holt Lawrence said, Nana! Youre heartless! How about we count the number of people in the group who have a bunch of emoticons? Holt Lawrence coughed lightly and walked a few steps to William Lanes side, Young Master Lane, do you prefer tea or something else? Ill have someone prepare it. The group chatted in the living room for a while, waiting for their meal. Olivia Lane, Charles Amos, and William Butch chatted together. Holt Lawrence, William Lane, and Daisy Zane chatted together. Now that William Butch was feeling much better, his thoughts of suicide had at least ceased. However, he still did not want to go to school. On their way, Charles had heard from Daisy Zane about William Butchs situation and was somewhat familiar with it. While ying checkers with William Butch, Charles said, Brother, Uncle Lawrence said that I can train with you in a few days. Lowering his head, William Butch softly hummed in agreement. Olivia Lane sat behind Charles,bing his hair and changing his hairstyle twice in just a short while. Daisy Zane watched from the other side, feeling that Olivia was treating Charles like a Barbie doll. Brother, dont mind what others say, Charles said, They all say I look like a girl. But whats wrong with looking like a girl? Girls are very cute. They are also great, just like boys. Oliviaughed. William Butch listened with downcast eyes. Because of Oliviabing his hair, Charles head moved from side to side ording to her strength, Appearance, hobbies, character C none of these faults should determine whether a person is a man or not. A true man has many, many excellent qualities, from little things like caring for the family to big things like defending the country. William Lane also looked over at his words. At the very leastmen who only gossip, insult, and bully others cannot be considered real men. Even if their appearance is strong, theyre not real men, theyre worthless. You know quite a bit for your young age, Olivia said, stroking his face., My mom taught me well, Charles proudly said, looking at Olivia. Both William Lane and Holt Lawrence turned to look at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, paused for a moment, and then said indifferently, I cant help it, Im excellent. William Lane smiled. Holt Lawrence: Chapter 460 - 403: Picky Eating Chapter 460: Chapter 403: Picky Eating At noon, a few people had a meal together at the vi. At the dining table, Holt Lawrence watched as William Lane first peeled a shrimp for Daisy Zane and then picked a dish for Olivia Lane, suddenly revealing an enlightened look on his face. And yet, Daisy Zane suddenly remembered how every time they ate when they were younger, William Lane would sit between her and Olivia. Picking dishes for one sister and then the other sister. When Daisy Zane thought of that scene, she suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and then put a piece of crown daisy in her mouth. At the same time, William Lane was startled by her actions, instinctively grabbing her hand. Daisy Zane had just put the crown daisy in her mouth, with half of it still sticking out. She turned her head to look at William Lane. Everyone at the table looked at William Lane. Except for Olivia, everyone else looked puzzled. William Lane hesitated and said, Its crown daisy. Daisy Zane looked down at the half of the vegetable sticking out and gave a Hmm. Seeing her calm and puzzled expression, after a moment, William released her hand and said, I thought you didnt eat it. Young Master Lane, Nana is really good in this aspect, she eats everything, Holt Lawrence said, Shes not picky. William Lane gave a small smile, Is that so? Although William was smiling, everyone saw the fleeting loss in his eyes. Olivia looked at her brother and gently pursed her lips. Daisy Zane put the other half of the crown daisy in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, saying, The taste is indeed not very good, but its nutritious. William Lane smiled at her, not saying anything more. When Charlotte Lane was young, because of her pickiness, the family would cook dishes she didnt like, but she preferred not to eat. In the end, no one in the family could be as obstinate as her. They allowed her to be picky. And they were extremely careful to avoid the things she didnt like to eat. Because ever since they didnt correct her pickiness, she would throw tantrums whenever she ate something she didnt like. No one in the family wanted to upset her, their little ancestor. Thats why William Lane was so emotional just now. Actually, Daisy still didnt like those things, butter when she was training in M Continent, she ate everything. At that time, who would spoil her? If she didnt eat, she would starve. After trying those things, they didnt seem so bad anymore. As Daisy Zane ate, she looked up to see Charles Amos using his chopsticks to hold a piece of green vegetable, nning to move it to Holt Lawrences bowl. And Holt Lawrence was stealthily extending his bowl as a cover. Daisy Zane cleared her throat. William Lane, Olivia, and William Butch all looked at her. Seeing her looking at Charles, everyone then looked at him. Without even lifting his eyes, Charles heard her voice and immediately changed the direction of his chopsticks, putting the green vegetable back into his own bowl. Eat it, Daisy Zane said lightly. Charles picked up the vegetable silently and put it in his mouth. And then Daisy Zane picked another one for him. Charles: I dont want to eat it. Being picky will stunt your growth, Daisy Zane said tly. Uncle rk is picky, and hes very tall, Charles retorted. Daisy Zanes eyes narrowed slightly, an instants ill temper enveloping everyone at the table. Charles, frightened, immediately put the green vegetable in his mouth. Then she heard Daisy Zane leisurely say, Congrattions, youll soon unlock a version of Uncle rk that isnt picky. Charles: William Lane smiled and peeled another shrimp for Daisy Zane. In the past, he was a little worried about Harton rks life after marrying a wife. Now, he was very relieved about Arthur Norths post-marriage life. After dinner, they did not stay long. As they walked out, Charles Amos held William Butchs hand, talking to him, saying that if he had any questions, he would ask him. Maybe because he was a child, he was easy to get along with. William liked Charles Amos very much. Meanwhile, Holt Lawrence was pulling Daisy Zane, and asked her, Nana, isnt this a bit dangerous for you? What? You have your eyes on William Lane again, Holt muttered, and youre so tant about bringing him here. Does Arthur North know? Daisy Zane stopped and looked at him. Holt also stopped, and said, Dont you know how dangerous your actions are? Arthur North and William Lane are close friends. If they find out, you will definitely be the one in trouble. No man can stand his woman falling for his buddy. Daisy Zanes fist tightened in silence. Is this her image? Does she abandon people after using them? Is she lustful? ying people like a fiddle? Let me tell you, Arthur North is part of Dark Radiance. He is not easy to deal with. Youd better handle this situation properly to avoid trouble Daisy Zane circled around him and kicked him hard. Holt Lawrence stumbled forward a few steps, almost face nting into the ground. Several people in front turned their heads to look. After regaining his bnce, Holt looked back at Daisy Zane and pointed at her, saying, Nana, you Daisy Zane walked a few steps forward, grabbed his wrist, and stared at him coldly, If your eyesight is bad, wear sses. Dont talk nonsense. Nana, ouch, my wrist, Holt said. Daisy Zane released him and said, If you spread more rumors, Ill sue you. Holt held his wrist, not daring to speak. When they returned, Daisy Zane still had William Lane drive them to Doomsday Hotel. It would save someone else the trouble of sending them both on another trip. Then she drove Charles Amos back to rk Manor. When they arrived at rk Manor, Charles was asleep in the car. Daisy Zane called him twice, but he didnt wake up. So, she wrapped him in a nket to keep him from getting cold and carried him down from the car. After entering rk Manor and walking for a short while with Charles in her arms, Arthur North came out to greet them. Upon his return, Arthur North had spoken with the person at the entrance, and Daisy Zane had informed him as well. Arthur North walked quickly over and took Charles: How did he fall asleep? Hes drowsy because of a full stomach, and would not wake up. Arthur North looked at Charless small face wrapped in the nket, fast asleep. He carried Charles directly to his parents room, then took Daisy Zane back to his own courtyard. Here is the cloak my mom made for you, he said, putting it on her. It was a red cotton cloak with a white furry cor. There were also embroidered phoenix feathers on the cloak. It was just the right length, reaching her ankles. Daisy Zane looked at it and said, Thank you, Aunt. Theres also a white one, but its not finished yet, Arthur North said, then handed her a hand warmer, Your hands get cold in winter. Its normal to feel cold in winter, Daisy Zane looked at the gold hand warmer with a beautiful cloth pocket around it, Whats inside? Charcoal. My mom made it. Theres Eaglewood and Anxiang inside the charcoal, Arthur North adjusted her hair that had been pressed by the cloak, kissed the corner of her lips, and said, I asked her for some, and Ill bring them to the drama crew tomorrow. Hmm. Lets go back to North Court. Hmm. Daisy Zane wrapped herself in the cloak, holding the hand warmer. Arthur North, wearing a ck coat, walked beside her with his arm around her. They strolled through the courtyard, on the stone path, over the arch bridge Blending perfectly with the elegant scenery of the entire courtyard, they became a natural part of the painting. Chapter 461: 404: Handwriting Chapter 461: Chapter 404: Handwriting After Daisy Zane joined the crew again, Arthur North left the rk Manor and went to the research institute.
Only little Charles Amos was left at home with Elina rk and Natalie Wayne. Its nice to have a child at home, my father is more spirited than before. Theo rk and his wife came back to the old house for a meal. He even wanted to go skating with Charles yesterday. Natalie Wayne said, I stopped him at the entrance. Hes over eighty years old and has no idea. Seeing that he was going to be scolded again, Elina rk silently got up and walked upstairs: Ill go check on Charles practicing his handwriting. Natalie Wayne nced at him, indifferent. Theo rk and Calvin Stewartughed quietly.
Calvin Stewart asked, Did Arthur and Lucia mention any ns for having children? Natalie Wayne replied, Arthur is too busy, and Lucias career is just beginning; Im afraid it will be a few more years. No need to hurry. Charles is still young; by the time he grows up and they have kids, there will be more children to keep you and dadpany, Calvin Stewart said. In a few years Enamel Cannon will have children too, itll be lively then. Calvin Stewartughed: Enamel Cannon Enamel Cannon needs to find a girlfriend first. Natalie Wayne smiled. Upstairs in the study room. Charles was practicing his handwriting, and Elina rk stood behind him watching. While watching, he suddenly said, This handwriting its getting more and more like your Second Uncles. Second Uncle? Charles looked up at him, The one from the photo? Yes. Elina rk touched his hair, Oh, you should call him Second Uncle Davis. Charles looked at his own writing, then looked back at his grandfather and asked, Very simr?
Somewhat simr. Elina rk thought for a moment, walked to the bookshelf, picked up a stack of Finn rks old papers, and showed it to Charles. Look, these are the papers your Second Uncle Davis wrote. Arent they a bit alike? Charles looked at the papers with his head resting on Elina rks arm, and after a while, he suddenly widened his eyes and sat up straight. Whats wrong? Charles couldnt tell if his writing was simr to the writing on the papers, but the writing on the papers was just like his dads. Grandpa, wait for me, I will be right back. As soon as Charles got off the chair, he ran out of the study. Where are you going? Elina rk asked. Just wait here; Ill be back soon. Alright, Ill wait here. Be careful, dont fall. rk Manor was so big that Charles took nearly half an hour to go back and forth, even by car. When he came back, he was stopped by Natalie Wayne in the living room, who wiped the sweat off his face before allowing him to go upstairs. As soon as he entered the study, Charles showed the wooden box he was carrying to his grandfather: Grandpa, look.
What is this? Letters my dad wrote to me inside. Elina rk was stunned for a moment. Charles pulled Elina rk back to the desk. He opened the wooden box, and there was a thick stack of letters inside. Charles took one off the top, carefully opened it, and ced it next to the papers on the table: Look, my dads writing is simr to Second Uncles. Elina rk looked at the letter. [ Isaac, today is your 60th day since birth, already two months, and youve grown a lot taller. When I saw you today, you were babbling, chattering about something? Are youining that dad isnt with you? Im sorry Ive neglected you for the past two months. Youre too young, so dad is chatting with you by writing letters. When you grow up, you can read ] Name Elina rk stared nkly at the handwriting and after a while, and as he came to his senses, he reached for the other letters in the box. But because his hand was shaking, he couldnt open the envelope at all Grandpa, let me help you. Charles helped him open the letter. Elina rk took it. [Isaac, today is your 65th day since birth. Youre such a crier, Enigma Starry said you might have been a little fountain in your previous life, so you cry so much. She said if you keep crying like this, shell deduct your milk powder and wont let you grow taller]
Elina rk opened several more letters afterward. Each letter was written to Charles with irregr dates and casual content, mentioning whatever came to mind. There were only one or two sentences in some. It seemed that Jack Amos knew that Edward Kirsten would make a move against him sooner orter, so he chose this way to leave his love for Charles in case he wouldnt make it until Charles grew up. Telling him that his dad loves him. As Elina rk looked at the letters, his heartbeat raced, and his hands trembled continuously. Grandpa, are you alright? Elina rk looked at Charles, sat down in the chair, and after a while said, Charles, youve seen Second Uncles photo, havent you? Yeah. Charles nodded, Ive seen it in the living room. Grandpa, are you alright? Grandpa is fine. Elina rk took a deep breath and asked, Do you know what your dad looks like? I have a photo of him. Can grandpa see it?
Yeah. Charles took out his cell phone, found a photo of Jack Amos, and handed it to his grandfather, Grandpa, here. Elina rk took the cell phone and looked at the photo. It wasnt Finn rk, not his son. Elina rk exhaled a long breath, pinching the bridge of his nose, Is this your father? Yes. Charles nodded. Elina rk stared at the photo on the phone. The handwriting was just like Finn rks, and not just that, even the tone of the letters was simr. But this personwasnt his son. Grandpa, whats wrong? Nothing, nothing. Elina rk touched Charles little head, Keep the letters safe and dont show them to grandma. Charles saw the look on Elina rks face and didnt ask any more questions, so he agreed.
In the evening, Charles went back to the North Court to sleep. Elina rk couldnt sleep after Natalie Wayne went to bed. His head was full of the writing from the letters over and over again. That was Finn rks handwriting, and he wouldnt mistake that. The tonewas also Finn rks. But Finn rk did die, and the person in the photo was indeed not Finn rk. HoweverCharles looked like Arthur North and Natalie Wayne. How could this be exined? Elina rk pondered all night and still couldnt figure it out. So the next morning, he took Charles hair, Natalie Waynes hair, and his own hairto the hospital assessment center. The Assessment Center charged an expedited fee, but since it was a generational test, the expedited result would take a little longer. At the fastest, it would take twelve hours. So Elina rk returned home first and didnt go back to the hospital that night, but went early the next day. Elina rk seldom attended so diligently, especially when it came to catching up with the outside world, and he acted suspiciously like a thief. Natalie Wayne gave him countless opportunities to confess, buthe mentioned nothing. If this were the days of youth, Natalie Wayne would have believed that he had other people in his life. However, he was now so old other than looking at his family property, he was over eighty But for the family propertythe only part that Elina rk had was in Natalie Waynes name. Chapter 462: 405 Are You Sure He’s Not Your Son? Chapter 462: Chapter 405 Are You Sure Hes Not Your Son? Early morning, Elina rk was waiting at the entrance of the Assessment Center. When she received the identification report, her heart pounded so fast she found it difficult to breathe.
She sat in a chair in the corridor, calming herself for a while before opening the identification report. Elina directly looked at the result. Her pupils shivered violently for a moment, and then she quickly opened the other one. The results on both were the same. Both confirmed blood rtions between the two sides. Looking at the two identification results, Elinas lips started to tremble bit by bit. She was breathing heavily, constantly calming herself, but in the end she still lifted her hand to cover her eyes.
Her straight back also bent down, with her shoulders slightly trembling. Elina sat in the chair in the corridor until noon without leaving. She was in a hurry when she left in the morning, and she didnt take her cell phone. Natalie Wayne kept making phone calls to the driver. The driver indeed informed Natalie about the specific location of the hospital. When Natalie found it, Elina was still sitting in the chair, as if she hadnt moved. Brother Louis? Upon hearing Natalies voice, Elina came back to her senses. She looked up at Natalie and said with a hoarse voice, Lily, why did youe? Brother Louis? What happened? Natalie Wayne asked, full of concern. Nothing, its nothing. Elina held her hand, feeling how cold it was. She put the two reports aside and covered Natalies hands with hers. Only His hands were also not very warm. Im fine, why didnt you go home? Natalie asked, What is this?
Natalie pulled her hand out to pick up the two reports: DNA Identification? She opened the two reports. First she saw the names of Charles Amos and Elina, then she looked at the results. After reading the results, she frowned and hurriedly looked at the other one, which was hers and Charles Amoss. The result was the same. Natalie stared at the two results for a moment, then asked, Is Charles really Arthur Norths child? Elina put the reports aside again, holding Natalies hand, and said, Lily The day before yesterday I thought Charless handwriting looked somewhat like Edward Norths. Natalies pupils shuddered for a moment. I showed Charles the Little Brothers handwriting, and then Charles went to get a letter written by his father. The handwriting on the letter was the same as Little Brothers. Natalie suddenly held Elinas hand tightly, her eyes wide open in disbelief as she looked at him. But The photo of Charless father that Charles showed me Its not Edward North. Elina spoke slowly, I was confused, so I came to do the identification. ording to this identification result Charles is our biological grandson. If this child has no rtion with Theo rk and Arthur North Natalies eyes reddened instantly, she looked at Elina for a while and then said, But, but Edward North, Edward North was sacrificed on the border. Charles, Charles is already so grown up The body was not found in the snowy mountain, is there any possibility
Butyou said the photo of Charless father is not Edward North. This was also something Elina had always been puzzled about. Call Arthur North and ask him toe back. Natalie grabbed Elinas hand, tears streaming down her face, Let Arthur return and ask Arthur. Have Daisy also return, Lucia must know something, she must know something. Let Arthure back first. Elina patted her hand and said, Lets ask Arthur first. Uh-huh. At rk Manor, after having lunch, Charles Amos went to the Court Music Academy. But Elina and Natalie didnt have lunch after they got back. They were waiting for Arthur Norths return. Not only Arthur North but also Theo rk was called over. And because Elina seemed quite anxious when she called, Theo rks whole family thought something had happened. The four of them dropped whatever they were doing and returned. Upon entering the front hall, they saw Natalies eyes were a bit red, as if she had just been crying, and Elina also did not look very well. Arthurs heart skipped a beat: What happened?
Theo rks family were also taken aback, following closely behind. Calvin Stewart and Hardy rk immediately sat next to Natalie Wayne and Elina rk: What happened? Elina rk lifted her chin towards the identification report on the tea table. Kevin rk looked at the identification report, furrowed his brow, then bent over to pick up the top one. It was between Charles Amos and Elina rk. After reading it, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Elina rk, then handed the report to his big brother. Theo rk and Hugo rk also looked at Elina rk after reading it. The three of them looked at Elina rk, no one spoke. Are all the people rted to him by blood here now? Charles Amos has no rtion to them, then how does this over eighty percent matche about? If Charles Amos is rted to Elina rk by blood, then Charles Amos father or mother is rted to Elina rk. So Kevin rk felt his head go numb for a moment. Could his dad have cheated on his mom?!
Absolutely impossible. Theres such a big age difference between the two, then its before his dad knew his mom And Charles Amos is a member of our family? Kevin rk thought so, and so did Theo rk and Hugo rk. From the look on their faces, Elina rk knew what the three of them were thinking and said irritably, What are you thinking! Theres another report! He had them do another one with Charles Amos and Natalie Wayne, because he was afraid they would think this way. Each and every one of them were rebels! When they finished reading the other one, Theo rk suddenly said, You and mom have another child, so we are four brothers? Kevin rks eyshes trembled slightly. Its not Harris Kirsten, so it must be Jack Amos who is his family. Natalie Wayne and Elina rk both red at them. Everyone was a little stunned, waiting for the two of them to speak.
Elina rk paused and said, The handwriting of Charles Amoss father is the same as Edward Norths. Kevin rks clenched his hand at his side immediately. Hugo rk furrowed his brow. Theo rk blurted out, What?! Calvin Stewart and Hardy rk were also dumbfounded. But the father in the photo that Charles Amos has, its not Edward North. Elina rk looked at Kevin rk and said, Are you sure Charles Amos isnt your child? I mean, your biological son. Kevin rk was at a loss for words. Charles Amos was a child Harris Kirsten and Jack Amos had, from pregnancy to birth to growth, all under the watchful eyes of the little girl. Charles Amos was the child of Harris Kirsten and Jack Amos, theres no mistake about that. So, Charles Amos wouldnt have any rtion to him, let alone any connection with his older brother or Hugo rk. And as for Henry rk If it were someone rted to Henry rk, the DNA match would not be so high. Then Jack Amos Are you sure its just us three? Kevin rk counter-asked. Elina rk: We are very sure that it is just the three of you! Kevin rk furrowed his brow. Seeing his reaction, Theo rk had an idea: But Edward North was at the border Kevin rk clenched his hand and said: We did not see the body. But the environment was extremely harsh on the snowy mountain, with almost no survival chances. Theo rk said. The day Edward North left on his mission, the snow was unusually heavy, and the vast snowy ins were endless. It wouldnt take long to bury a person. Let alone a person who had been shot. Chapter 463: 406: It’s Him Chapter 463: Chapter 406: Its Him But other than the photo not matching, everything else points to Second Uncle. Hugo rk said, Actually, thinking about it Charles Amos does look more like Second Uncle.
Could there be a mistake in Charles photo? Calvin Stewart asked. Kevin rk stepped back a few steps and sat down on the chair behind him: The little girl has seen Second Brothers photo. If its Charles father, she wouldnt keep quiet about it. After he finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell silent for a while. Kevin rks eyes stared at one spot, constantly rubbing his fingertips. After a while, Hugo rk said: With todays technology, changing a persons appearanceshouldnt be difficult. Although the photo doesnt match. Although they dont know why someone returns from the dead, why they dont return home, or why they change their appearance.
Butall the results point to Jack Amos being Finn rk. Charles Amos DNA test wouldnt lie. The handwriting wouldnt lie. Its Finn, its Finn, it must be Finn. Natalie Wayne suddenly said, Its Finn! Mom, dont get too excited, calm down. Theo rk said. Where is he? What happened to him? Why has Daisy been raising Charles? Natalie Wayne looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rks lips moved slightly, and the hand by his side slowly clenched, white-knuckled with force. After a while, he said: Charles father passed away when he was one year old. Twenty-two knives, stabbed thirty-two times It was done by Edward Kirsten. Kevin rk controlled his emotions, lowered his gaze, and concealed the emotions in his eyes. Natalie Wayne covered her mouth and began to cry quietly. She had thought of this oue, but it was still hard to hear.
Elina rk let out a gentle breath, gently patting Natalie Waynes back: Its all right, madam. Charles is back with us. He is Finns blood. Natalie Wayne leaned on Elina rks shoulder. Calvin Stewart and Hardy rk also had red eyes. The living room fell silent again, only the sound of Natalie Waynes quiet sobbing could be heard. Kevin rk, with his gaze downcast, said after a while: No one should tell the little girl, or tell Charles. Everyone looked at him. Hugo rk pursed his lips without saying a word. Theo rk asked, Why? Just dont tell them, pretend you dont know. Kevin rk finished speaking and stood up, not even looking at them, I have other things to do, Ill leave first. Everyone watched Kevin rk leave without saying anything. Finn rks departure had a great impact on Kevin rk, even changing the course of his entire life. Apart from Mr. & Mrs. rk, the shock to Kevin rk was probably the greatest. Kevin rk walked towards the entrance without looking back.
Just as he reached the entrance, Charles Amos was returning from the Court Music Academy, getting out of the car and walking towards the entrance. Uncle rk. Kevin rk saw him and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Charles Amos ran a few steps forward, looking into the courtyard: Youre back. Is mom back too? Kevin rk looked at the top of his head for a moment, then suddenly crouched down and hugged Charles Amos. Charles Amos was startled by the hug: Uncle rk? Kevin rk held him without saying a word. Charles Amos, being held by him, felt his sadness, his big eyes turned and asked: Did grandmother hit you? Kevin rk still didnt say anything. He held Charles Amos for a while and then said: Grandmothers emotions are a bit agitated right now, so whatever she says to youter, dont tell the little girl. Did you make grandmother angry? Kevin rk still didnt say anything. Charles Amos took his silence as confirmation. He paused and bravely said: A father must pay his sons debt, so Ill face the storm on your behalf. Kevin rkughed, ruffled his hair and stood up: Go on, go face the storm.
Youre leaving just like that? Leaving me to face it alone? Charles Amos looked at him as if he was leaving. Yes. Kevin rk gently pushed him, Go on, this way it looks like we have a deep bond. After saying that, Kevin rk left again without looking back. Charles Amos watched his retreating figure, his head of small curls seeming to curl even more due to anger. He couldnt bear such deep feelings. After some hesitation, Charles went alone to face the storm. As soon as he stepped into the living room, he shouted, Grandpa, Grandma, Im home. When he entered the living room, he saw Theo rks family and greeted them one by one. Then everyone looked at him. Charles noticed them staring at him and swallowed hard. He forced himself to walk over to Natalie Wayne, saw the tears on her eyshes, and handed her a tissue paper: Grandma, whats wrong? Natalie, who had just calmed down a bit, couldnt help but cry again at the sound of Charles calling her Grandma. She hugged Charles and began to sob.
It had been fifteen whole years since Edward Norths sacrifice, fifteen long years. The pain of a white-haired person sending off a ck-haired one was unbearable, but they had to bear it. They dared not even dream that they might see Edward Norths child again. Charles was startled and patted Natalie gently on the back, Grandma, dont be sad anymore. Yes, grandma wont be sad, not sad. Kevin rk went straight to Daisy Zanes film set after leaving the rk manor. He set out from the manor, went to the Outer Ring, drove at a fast speed, and circled around the ring before heading to the film set. When he arrived at the film set, Daisy Zane hadnt finished filming, so Kevin waited for her. During a break in filming, Kevin took Daisy directly onto the nanny car. Getting onto the car, he turned on the heating inside and held Daisys hand. Wrapped in her down jacket, Daisy asked, Why did you suddenlye over?
Kevin replied, There was nothing to do, so I came. Daisy stared at him for a while, then said, The Research Institute is magical, isnt it, Third Master? Busy with no time for breakfast in the morning, and then nothing to do in the afternoon. Its Thomas Firway reporting to you again. Daisy raised her eyebrows, If you scold him, hell tell me too. Kevin took a light breath. Daisy smiled, Come on, whats up? I missed you. When do you not miss me? Daisy said, Kevin rk, you didnt even wear a proper jacket when you came out. Kevin looked down at himself, Dont tell me its in the car, Daisy said. Kevin hesitated for a moment, then hugged her tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, There really is nothing. I just suddenly wanted to see you. And also to thank you in person. But Im afraid youd be suspicious if I said it, so I just said it silently in my heart. Jack Amos is Edward North. He dared not tell Daisy Zane. Daisy had always thought she had harmed Jack. He was afraid that if he told her, the little girl would feel guilty and that she owed him. Little Girl was too sentimental, so he feared she would feel indebted to his family. Daisy let him hold her and didnt ask any more questions when she saw that he was unwilling to talk about it. She held him until Anisa Cooper came to find them, saying the director was urging them. Only then did Kevin release her. Will you go back or stay here? Daisy asked. Ill stay here, Kevin replied. Mmm, Daisy said, Well finish in about two hours. You just stay here, its really cold outside. Alright. Kevin gave her a quick peck on the corner of her lips, Be careful when filming. Mmm, she replied. Chapter 464: 407 Victoria Zane Chapter 464: Chapter 407 Victoria Zane Daisy Zane still had no night shows in the evening, and Kevin rk didnt go back either.
They had dinner and went back to the hotel together. But as soon as they arrived at the hotel, and before they had a chance to wash up, Holt Lawrence called. Daisy Zane answered the phone: Has the storage card been decrypted? Yes. Whats inside? Daisy Zane asked. Holt Lawrence hesitated for a moment and said, Well I dont understand ny percent of the content. The part I can understand is about Victoria Zanes identity. Do you have time? Can youe over? The content is too huge to be transmitted. If you want to see it now, you have toe to Celestial Pivot. Otherwise, just wait.
Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly, Ill be right there. So Kevin rk took Daisy Zane to Celestial Pivot. Kevin rk entered the core area of Celestial Pivot for the first time. The area wasrge and had a strong sense of technology. At the same time, it was evident that people who usually stayed here were very introverted. There were clothes and nkets thrown on the chairs. Third Master. After Holt Lawrence greeted him politely, he whispered to Daisy Zane, Does he still not know about the situation between you and William Lane? Daisy Zane looked at him coldly: Do you believe that I will have awyers letter on your desk tomorrow? Holt Lawrence shut up immediately. Daisy Zane walked straight to theputer, pulled a chair for Kevin rk, and then both sat in front of theputer. There were thousands of files in the storage card. Except for the first one, each file was vast.
So Daisy Zane opened the first one. Inside was a document, and the first sentence was: [There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. Someone finally decrypted my storage card, but its a shame we cant meet face to face.] Actually, its not a pity. Nana met her. Holt Lawrence was standing behind them, holding a thermos cup in his hand. Daisy Zane ignored him, and Kevin rk didnt speak either. Both were looking down at the document. The content in the entire document was a general self-introduction from Victoria Zane. Victoria Zanes English name is ra. The name Victoria Zane was adopted after moving to the domestic country. More than sixty years ago, Victoria Zane and her husband were staff members of the Immortal Laboratory in F Continent. Both were talented graduates in the pharmaceutical formtion major. Upon graduation, they joined Immortal Laboratory. Initially, the couple was only involved in simple research experiments.
It wasnt until three yearster that Victoria Zane and her husband came into contact with the most critical experiment in theboratoryImmortal. The experiment mainly revolved around an extremely rare nt known as Drunken Life Grass that only appeared in F Continent. The Drunken Life Grass could extractponents that prevented cell aging and death. However, Drunken Life Grass was extremely rare and had an unpredictable growth environment, as if its growth was entirely random. For this reason, it has never been sessfully cultivated. Massive experiments led to the gradual extinction of Drunken Life Grass one by one. So Michael Kirsten, the person in charge of theboratory at the time, gathered all the talents in pharmaceutical formtion to synthesize an elixir with the same effect as the extract from Drunken Life Grass. The extract from Drunken Life Grass itself had ws. It could prevent cell aging, but it would cause many side effects on living organisms. The mostmon side effects were rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and even full-body nerve paralysis. At that time, the extract from Drunken Life Grass was the hope for human beings to live forever. So the people in theboratory were full of enthusiasm every day.
After nearly six years, Victoria Zane and her husband finally developed an elixir with the same effect as the extract from Drunken Life Grass. That day was the happiest day for the entireboratory. However, the side effects of the elixir they developed were more significant, so they continued to research and experiment for another three years to reduce the side effects of the elixir continuously. During this process of continuous research and experimentation, Victoria Zanes husband discovered that both the elixir and the extract from Drunken Life Grass would inevitably harm the human body. The extract from Drunken Life Grass seemed more like something from the future. Humanity had not yet evolved to the stage of living forever, but they had evolved to withstand Drunken Life Grasss extract. At this point, Drunken Life Grass would be adder for humanity to achieve eternal life. Victoria Zane and her husband reported the situation to Michael Kirsten. Michael Kirsten also understood that it would be a very long process. A process so long that it would require research from generation after generation. Research is like this; there always have to be pioneers, and there will always be beneficiaries.
If lucky, pioneers and beneficiaries belong to the same era. Otherwise Its hard to say. Everyone in theboratory, including Michael Kirsten, was prepared to dedicate their lives to this cause. But a yearter, Victoria Zane and her husband discovered that Michael Kirsten was conducting experiments on human subjects. As a result of this incident, both sides had a big fight. Michael Kirstens reason given was survival of the fittest. Evolution needed pressure; otherwise, it wouldnt progress. With thousands of years of history, it would probably take another few thousand years for human evolution to advance significantly. However, Victoria Zane and her husband believed that he wasnt elerating evolution with these actions, but rather hastening extinction. They were most familiar with their research. Doing this would be sending humanity towards extinction. Both sides continued to argue, defending their respective viewpoints. In the end, Victoria Zane and her husbands research were suspended, but Michael Kirstens experiments did not stoppletely. For three more months, Victoria Zane and her husband witnessed more and more people developing brain death-like conditions due to the experiments.
The elixir developed from the research was named Immortal. Upon injection, the human body showed no reaction for half a month. But after half a month, symptoms simr to brain death would appear. The number of such cases continued to increase, and Michael Kirsten became more and more insane. He even increased the dose, elerating death. So to prevent Michael Kirsten from harming more people, Victoria Zane and her husband blew up theboratory, destroying the elixir they had researched for ten years. Everything has its arrangements. When human beings evolve to that level, naturally, someone will be able to research an elixir like the extract from Drunken Life Grass again. Theboratory was bombed, and Victoria Zane and her husband were hunted down. On the way to escape to the domestic country, Victoria Zanes husband was killed by Michael Kirstens people. So Victoria Zane fled to the domestic country alone. She took the name Victoria Zane, found udia Zane, and raised her to adulthood. All the content on the storage card, including severalyers of encryption, was created when Victoria Zane bought aputer after udia Zane went to Truro City University. She recorded all the research results based on her memory. Then she also left this self-narrative. Originally, she wanted to take all the research results with her after her death. But in the end, she couldnt let go. Moreover, she and her husband both conducted the research. So, she finally recorded it. Chapter 465: 408: It’s Not Her! Chapter 465: Chapter 408: Its Not Her! Upon reading the content of the document, neither Daisy Zane nor Kevin rk moved or spoke.
Seeing the two of them silent, Holt Lawrence said, This Michael Kirsten is Daisy blinked, closed the document, and opened the second file, saying, Edwards grandfather. Holt looked at Kevin and then at Daisy, seeing that they were both unfazed, showing no particr reaction, he said, So Edward killed in Cold Green Vige because Victoria Zane bombed theb, right? Just like the homeless man in Truro City, who was killed in 319 for betraying Edwards father. As the file opened, Daisy scrolled through the file without a word. However, Kevin said, Yeah, probably. Daisy turned to look at Kevin.
Seeing her look at Kevin, Holt secretly grimaced behind them. If I speak, you cant hear, but if he speaks, you look at him. Kevin also looked at Daisy. I think so. Daisy pursed her lips, looked back at theputer, hesitated, and then said, My grandmother went into theb right after graduation and spent more than a decade there, mainly researching Immortal. All of this is almost rted to 319. Kevin said, Main ingredient of 319 is Yes. If my grandmother recorded Daisy took a shallow breath and said softly, These things are too important for us. Daisy and Kevin have read only a few of the thousands of files. They are almost all about the research process, experimental data. The content is so vast that they cant finish it all immediately. At half-past three in the morning, Kevin checked the time, squeezed Daisys hand, and said, Miss, dont look anymore, its toote. Checking the time, Daisy closed the file and woke Holt, who had fallen asleep on a chair nearby. Whats up? Is it breakfast time? Holt, somewhat dazed, looked at Daisys face and snapped back to reality a bit, Did you finish? No. Daisy said, Backup all these things in two ces. Then send one to me and one to Kevin. Holt: Okay. Its just that theres a ton of this stuff, so it may take a while.
Okay. Daisy stood up and said, Ill go ahead. On the way home, Kevin was driving, Daisy was in the co-pilot seat with her eyes closed. A few minutester, Daisy said, Kevin, find a few people in the research institute who are trustworthy and tight-lipped. Im worried the institute is also not safe. Alright. Kevin said, Get some sleep. Daisy closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. I cant sleep. Having stopped at a red light, Kevin reached out and touched Daisys face, saying, I heard Uncle Lane mention a little about the explosion in Continent F years ago. Daisy opened her eyes to look at him. The report at the time was about a severe casualty loss due to ab error, Kevin said. Uncle Lane said the actual death toll was much higher than reported, and the number of deaths was much higher than the number of registeredb staff. Were they the ones being experimented on? Daisy asked. The explosion was too significant and was probably going to attract attention, so its likely they threw those being experimented on into the explosion site. To cover the truth and then buy off the reports. Yes. Kevin said, Theb was bombed twice, once on the day, and again a dayter.
Daisy furrowed her brows. There are many doubts. But that era had no inte, a backward economy, and an iplete legal system, Kevin said. And mainly because the evidence was destroyed cleanly, so even though there were many suspicions, it gradually subsided over time. Did the Lane familyknow? Uncle Lane had a younger brother who had worked in Continent F when he was young, Kevin started the car and said. Uncle Lane heard it from him. Daisy was silent for a while, then said, Before my grandparents were murdered, the house was ransacked. They might have been looking for the research results from back then. On Koymoon Ind in M continent, Edward had said that the research results from back then were moreplete than the current 319. The storage card had been on her before her grandparents were murdered. So they didnt find anything, lost their use, and killed them all like the Truro City homeless man? A light flickered in Kevins eyes. Lil Misss fame is rising. Gaels worry is not unfounded. Especially while shes assuming Daisys identity, it would be even easier for Edward to take her away.
Edward. Now its not just Lil Misss grudge, but also his older brothers grudge. When grandmother let udia go to college outside but firmly opposed Lucia from leaving Cold Green Vige, she probably had suspicions that someone was looking for her, Daisy said. Probably. Kevin said. My grandmother probably didnt expect that when Lucia brought me home, I had just escaped from Grandson Kirsten, Daisy added. A serendipitous coincidence, said Kevin rk. Daisy Zane didnt say anything further, she touched the pendant beneath her clothes. The day after he returned from Continent A, Kevin rk had glued the pendant back together and ced it on her. He said, I must thank Lady Zane for not letting my little girl get hurt. Thanks to the pendant on the red rope, she wasnt even scratched. After chatting with Kevin rk for a while, Daisy Zane leaned on her seat and fell asleep. Kevin rk drove to the film set and asked Anisa Cooper about the shooting schedule, seeing there was still an hour to rest, he let Daisy Zane stay in the car to sleep without waking her up.
Otherwise, going to the hotel room upstairs would only disrupt her sleep again. After Daisy Zane fell asleep, she dreamt again, first of seeing Edward Kirsten, who forced her to kill someone in the dream. But that dream onlysted a short while before she saw Kevin rk in her dream again. Moreover, while she was dreaming, she knew that she had had this dream before. She dreamt that she was very young, and she tripped on the Arch Bridge of rk Manor. Naturally, she got up and wiped off the dirt on her knee and hand. But suddenly, Kevin rk came over and squatted next to her, asking, Where did you fall? The Kevin rk in the dream was not small, he looked just like his present self. Little L, who was supposed to have run up the arch bridge with all her might, heard Kevin rks voice and turned around abruptly. With a pout on her face, she threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and said, Brother Arthur, it hurts so much. Kevin rk squatted by her side, checking her hand and knee, Where does it hurt? My hand hurts, as does my knee. Brother Arthur, hold me Little girl, little girl, little girl Kevin rk was rubbing Daisy Zanes hand as he called her. At first, despite calling out several times, she didnt wake up. Just as he was about to give up calling and let her continue sleeping by granting her a leave, Daisy Zane opened her eyes.
Kevin rk smiled a little, in a gentle voice, Awake now? Daisy Zane stared at him nkly for a bit, then she suddenly closed her eyes and covered them with her hand. Kevin rk: ????? He waspletely baffled by her reaction. Whats wrong? Daisy Zane, still covering her eyes, took a moment to calm down and said, Its fine. What time is it? Kevin rk told her the time and noticed that her ears were very red. Could this mean Madam, did you have a dream? Kevin rk asked with a smile. Daisy Zane opened her eyes and, without looking at Kevin rk, replied coldly, No. Kevin rk chuckled. Daisy Zane shot him a re. Kevin rk cupped her face, forcing her to look at him, What did you dream about? Being forced to look at him, the scenes from her dream gradually became clearer. She was very young in the dream, and so was Kevin rk, possibly not even ten years old. The events in her dream were real and had indeed happened before. Brother Arthur Suddenly, Daisy Zane closed her eyes again. Her face bore an expression of speechlessness. Kevin rk had never seen her in such a silent, speechless state so regretful. Whats wrong? Kevin rk stopped teasing her. Daisy Zane remained silent. Brother Arthur, Brother Arthur That babyish voice Those crude acting skills That melodramatic plea forfort There must be something wrong with her memory. That certainly wasnt her. It wasnt her. IT WASNT HER! Chapter 466: 409: A Set-up? Chapter 466: Chapter 409: A Set-up? The content on the storage card was extensive and detailed.
At the Research Institute, Kevin rk and William Lane led a small group to study the contents of the storage card. On the drama crews side, Daisy Zane would also look at the cards contents whenever she had time, and visited the Imperial Capital University Laboratory during her spare time. Since the drama started shooting again, Daisy Zane had been scolded several times and made it onto the hot search list. Both thepany and her personally did not respond anymore. Moreover, the number of stand-ins on the drama crews side had increased significantly, and they couldnt be stopped. During Daisy Zanes break, she saw a drone flying overhead for the third time, and felt the urge to shoot it down with a sniper rifle.
Daisy, youve been so busytely that youve lost weight, Anisa Cooper said as she sat beside her. Youve gained at least five pounds, replied Daisy Zane without lifting her head from theputer. Anisa Cooper immediately touched her face and said dejectedly, Ive been eating too muchtely. Its good to gain some weight, Daisy Zane nced at her, You look better when youre a bit chubbier. Anisa Cooper immediately burst intoughter, Brother Miller also said that Im getting more and more beautiful. Daisy Zaneughed. Anisa Cooper said, Brother Miller said that Daisy is my nobleman. After meeting Daisy, Ive been encountering good things constantly. You yourself are your own nobleman, Daisy said. Just then, the director called her over to shoot. Anisa Cooper packed up herputer, carried it in her hand, and immediately followed her to the shooting location. After finishing the morning scene, it was time for the night scene. They could rest in the afternoon, so Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper didnt eat at the drama crews area but went straight back to the hotel after shooting. The nanny car drove out of the drama crews location but hadnt reached the main road yet.
The driver suddenly stopped. Anisa Cooper was browsing Facebook, checking who was badmouthing her Sister today, when suddenly the car stopped. She looked up at the driver, Whats wrong? An old man is stopping the car. Anisa Coopers eyes widened instantly. Seeing that Daisy Zane had her eyes closed, she whispered, No way! There are fraudsters here! Daisy Zane, who had wanted to take a nap, opened her eyes upon hearing her voice, and also looked ahead. An old man stood by the roadside, with white hair, wearing a long ck down jacket, leaning on a cane in his left hand, and waving his right hand to stop the car. He was a bit far away, so they couldnt see his face clearly. But it was evident that he was in good spirits, and he had an excellent presence. The driver said, He doesnt look like a fraudster. Even if hes not, be careful. If something happens, well be in trouble, Anisa Cooper said. Even if were right, well be the wronged party because were public figures. It would always be our fault. The driver thought for a moment and said, Why dont I go down and check it out first? In case he falls in front of the car as soon as we drive past. Ill go with you, said Anisa Cooper. In case theres really something wrong, we should help out at his age.
But as soon as their words fell, Daisy Zane opened the car door and got out. Sister, dont go out, there are stand-ins everywhere, Anisa Cooper immediately followed her. Sister, Ill handle it, you dont have to go. Otherwise, therell be a million different stories online. Daisy Zane ignored her and walked straight towards the old man. After seeing his face clearly, Daisy Zanes pace suddenly slowed down. The old man leaned on his cane and watched her approach. His hand gripping the cane tightened, and his lips trembled slightly. It was clear that he was trying to control his emotions. As Daisy Zane looked at him, her mind was filled with various images. Recently, she had gradually remembered some incidents. Although every incident was rted to Kevin rk, and everything rted to Kevin rk was inevitably about her never-ending Brother Arthur, it was also because they were rted to Kevin rk that Most of them were about Kevin rk studying at the Lane Family, and in those memories, there was an elder. It was the man in front of her. Kevin rks Uncle Lane in his words. Her grandfather.
In fact, even those who pay a little attention to politics would know Old Master Lane. Its just that the old man retired early, and the appearance in the news back then was still quite young. Now hes aged a lot, and it may not be easy to recognize him at first nce. Anisa Cooper ran past Daisy Zane and reached the old man first, shouting, Grandfather, do you need any help? Is there anything we can do for you? As soon as Anisa spoke, Old Master Lane hurriedly withdrew his gaze, gripping his cane and calming his emotions. Daisy Zane also approached and stood beside Anisa, looking at the man in front of her. Old Master Lane lowered his eyes and took two deep breaths, then looked up at Anisa and Daisy Zane, politely and somewhat pitifully said, Miss, Im sorry. I came for a walk and got separated from my family. I am too old, Ive circled around here several times and couldnt find my way out, and I didnt bring my cell phone with me. Its okay, Grandfather. Anisa took out her cell phone, Grandfather, do you know your family members mobile numbers? I can help you make a call. I dont know. Old Master Lane said immediately. Daisy Zane quietly watched him from the side. Old Master Lane noticed she was looking at him and made eye contact with her. Then the old man who had been in the political arena for decades, out of guilt, turned his gaze away. Anisa asked, Thats fine. Do you know the mobile numbers of your other family members? I dont know. Old Master Lane said again immediately.
Daisy Zane: Anisa thought for a moment and said, Grandfather, let me make a call to the police uncle. Maybe your family members are looking for you and went to the police as well. This way, we can find them quickly and ease their worries. Old Master Lane: This young girl is quite clever. Anisa was about to make the call. Old Master Lane stopped her, Youngdy, no need to bother the police. I know the address. Can you see if its convenient to call a car for me and take me back? You can leave me your contact information, and Ill have someone give you the money when I get home. Or I can pawn my watch to you. He really missed his granddaughter, thats why he came looking for her. As a stranger, its good to have a chat. Even if they dont talk, its still good to look at each other. Anisa hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better for both parties to be safe if he knew the address and they could still call the police directly, Grandfather, its not convenient to call a car here. Lets ask the police uncle for help. Old Master Lane: How could he bother the police for his own affairs. Um, well Havent you had lunch yet? Daisy Zane suddenly spoke up, interrupting Old Master Lanes impromptu coping strategy. Old Master Lane paused for a moment, then said, Not yet.
Anisa looked at Daisy Zane, Daisy? Daisy Zane rubbed her fingertips together, Lets have a meal first. After that Ill have the driver take you. Anisa: Old Master Lane gripped his cane and said, Alright. Thank you, Miss. Daisy Zane let Old Master Lane get into the car first, and when she tried to get on, Anisa pulled her back. Daisy, do you know him? Daisy Zane just gave silent consent. Anisa breathed a sigh of relief, Thats good, thats good. I was just saying, my Daisy cant be deceived. But we might have been photographed just now. Im afraid people will gossip online again. Daisy Zane looked at Anisa and then patted her head, Dont worry. Huh?? Anisa didnt understand Daisy Zanes words, but shortly after she got in the car, she kept observing Old Master Lane. Upon observing him, she suddenly recognized him. Then she immediately did a search, and the news online was from more than thirty years ago, so were the photos. But if you look closely, you can still see the resemnce. In that instant, Anisa felt like she almost fainted. She was with whom in the car. She initially thought who was trying to scam. She thought who was a fraudster and a bad person! With this identity, who would dare to take photos and post them online. Chapter 467: Chapter 410: Captured Chapter 467: Chapter 410: Captured In the car, Old Master Lane was like a curious child, looking here, peering there. Seeing that the car is well-equipped, he finally pulled his gaze back and felt a little relieved. Miss, are you filming here? Anisa Cooper was secretly observing Old Master Lane, her breathing even lighter. No wonder, her sister Lucia said that he knew her, but this old man did not recognize Lucia either. It turns out that he is superior. Even though he has retreated from that position, his prestige has not diminished. Fortunately, Lucia recognized him right away, otherwise, they would be in real trouble. Upon noticing that his hands had turned red from cold, Daisy Zane gave him a hand warmer, Yes, I am filming. Old Master Lane cast down his eyes to look at the hand warmer. He could tell from the embroidery on its outside bag that it was made by Natalie Wayne, Thank you, Miss. Its newly filled with charcoal, it might be a bit hot. Daisy Zane warned. Okay. Old Master Lane grasped the hand warmer, feeling that he had been recognized but did not reveal it. He pretended not to recognize thedy before him. By doing so it might be easier for L. When he previously mentioned having dinner together, he should have refused. But he couldnt help it but selfishly wanted to spend more time with her, so he agreed immediately. Filming must be tough. Old Master Lane said, I saw online, often you have to work overnight and sometimes continuously without rest. Not tiring. Daisy Zane lowered her voice, making her sounds not so cold, Most scenes are in the daytime, we get to rest at night. Thats good. You are still young, dont overuse your body. The words of Old Master Lane were cautious. Health is most important. Uh-huh. When they arrived at the hotel and ordered their meals, Anisa Cooper made up an excuse and slipped away. She dared not sit at the same table with Old Master Lane, it felt like sitting at the same table with the emperor. She dared not. She also worried that she might be overstepping her luck. So she made up an excuse and ran off. Daisy Zane also knew about her stiffness, so she did not keep her. Daisy gave her some money and asked her to take the driver to have a good meal. Only two of them were left in the private room, the conversation during the meal was not much. Old Master Lane was just being concerned about her work and her life. Daisy Zane would also answer whatever was asked. Despite the lessmunication, they were getting along very harmoniously. Daisy Zane had always been a bit afraid to get along with the Lanes, always feeling that she didnt know how to face them. But when she actually meets them and sit face-to-face, she realized she had been overthinking. The thing about blood rtion is really magical. She instinctively felt close to Old Master Lane, just like how she felt about William Lane and Olivia Lane. Also, sitting with him, she felt very reassured and calm. An inexplicable sense of belongingness. Having finished the meal, Old Master Lane looked at the time and said, Will it dy your work in the afternoon? Daisy Zane shook her head: We have an afternoon break. Then Old Master Lane wanted to spend more time with her, but he couldnt take up all her rare break times. Shall I send you home? Daisy Zane offered. Alright. I have been out for too long, I didnt bring my mobile phone, they might worry. Old Master Lane rose and put on his coat, thought for a while and said, Miss, can you give me your contact? I will have someone transfer the money to you. Daisy Zane paused in the middle of putting on her clothes, then she finished the rest, took the paper and pen put on the table for writing feedbacks. She wrote down her name and mobile number and gave it to Old Master Lane: This is my WhatsApp as well, you can find me anytime if you need anything. Old Master Lane took the note and looked at the handwriting on it. It is different from when she was a child, but some small habits are still there. The final stroke of the word Zane was hooked up. Old Master Lane smiled and carefully stored the note away. After adding Old Master Lane on WhatsApp, Daisy Zane would receive his messages once every two days on average. At first, it was about weather changes, reminding her to wear more and not catch a cold on the set. Then it was him sharing some books he had read, or some interesting things he had seen or heard. Daisy Zanes opinions always coincided with those of Old Master Lane. So the two of them got closer and closer. If it were not for both of them fully aware of their rtionship, they could probably be close friends regardless of their age difference. One day, while Daisy Zane was waiting for her turn to film, she yed a game with Old Master Lane. Upon opening the game, she saw the person at the first ce on her friend list was Old Master Lane. Glory King Sixty-two Stars. Moreover, he was online at the moment. This ranking, at his age. Daisy Zane thought that Olivia Lane might have used his ount. But after a round with him, she realized he might have earned it by himself. This event, was even more shocking to her than the Old Master Lanes pretending to wander to the film set. She suddenly thought that the news of ady in her seventies winning five kills at three in the morning could be real. Since then, it was as if they had agreed on it beforehand. The number of times William Lane had visited the film set had noticeably increased. Sometimes he came to visit her, bringing her food, clothes, things to use. But each time he was in a hurry, leaving after a short stay. Although he was careful each time, afraid that the media would take photos and affect Daisy Zane. And though he only stayed for a short while each time, he was still captured into a photo. However this photo did not circte online, but ended up in the hands of Kevin rk directly. When Kevin rk came out of theboratory, he was about to call Daisy Zane. He opened his phone and saw a message from an unknown person. He epted the message. Five photos, all of Daisy Zane and William Lane together. In two of the photos, William Lane was seen handing Daisy Zane a dessert from a certain brand, and Daisy Zane was reaching out to take it. Thest three were of both chatting together. William Lane had his eyes on Daisy Zane, and Daisy Zane was smiling at him. Not a polite smile, but a sincere one that came from the heart. When has the little girl ever smiled so sweetly at another man? How did they get to know each other? How close have they gotten? Kevin rk was thinking about these when the call from the unknown number came in. He answered it directly. Third Master, have you seen the photos? The person on the line was using the voice changer. Kevin rk was frosty and his voice turned cold: Stop skirting around the issue. The other personughed a little and said: Daisy Zane is flirting with William Lane behind your back at the film set. Is a woman like this worth Third Masters protection? Its not your ce toment on my wife. Kevin rk said coldly, A tortoise who doesnt even dare to use his true voice even has the guts toment on my wife. Control your mouth. If I hear another word insulting her, I wont let you get away with it, no matter who you are, no matter where you are. After he finished, Kevin rk hung up the phone and sent the phone number to Juan Wright. He asked him to find out who this person is. Then, he checked the time and continued to make a call to Daisy Zane. Little girl Chapter 468: Chapter 411: Better Late Than Never Chapter 468: Chapter 411: Better Late Than Never Juan Wright checked the unfamiliar number and it was a ck card. He also located its position. In M Continent. Immediately, Juan Wright asked the people in M Continent to search ording to the location. But they only found a discarded cell phone, and no trace of the person. Checking the surrounding surveince, they didnt find any suspicious people either. The discarded cell phone seemed to be newly bought. It had only been used with that ck card and no other cards. And the phone had only been used for taking Daisy Zanes photo, sending it to Kevin rk, and calling him. The person was very cautious, leaving nothing behind. This stranger was not found, and the photos of Daisy Zane and William Lane did not spread. However these few photos were like needles buried in Kevin rks heart. It seemed that the other party wanted to nt these needles. This person seeded, yet also failed. Because it was clear that the person was targeting Daisy Zane, trying to affect the rtionship between Kevin rk and Daisy Zane. But the needles that were buried didnt poke Daisy Zane, but rather William Lane. Kevin rk naturally believed Daisy Zane and William Lane. Its just as William Lane was always in front of him, every time he saw him, Kevin rk would think of the photo of Daisy Zane smiling at him. So Kevin rk grew more and more disgusted with William Lane, and he acted strangely every day. William Lane couldnt understand what he had done wrong to deserve such treatment. He had been experiencing Kevin rks weird behavior since he was a child. It really made him reflect on what he had done wrong before falling asleep at night, and how he had offended him. Moreover, this time it had gone on for many days in a row. Unable to deal with him, William Lane silently kept ount. For each time Kevin rk targeted him, William Lane kept a tally. This ount was recorded from the day Charlotte Lanes wedding took ce, Kevin rk absolutely wouldnt be able to enter the door smoothly without him agreeing, and he wouldnt be able to marry his sister. In early April, the research institute finallypleted the study of all the contents on the storage card left by Victoria Zane. Now they are making the Immortal Elixir ording to the records on it. They are also using the records to dpose the 319 form. 319 was developed based on Immortal, but it has many differences from Immortal. Because Victoria Zane had blown up the entireboratory back then, all the data was destroyed. And all the core experiments werepleted by Victoria Zane and her husband. Michael Kirsten only knew some of the experimental data. When theboratory was blown up, only some of Michael Kirstens memories were left. Compared to Immortal, 319 not only has many drawbacks but also is still difficult to dpose. So, all of this will be a huge project. And all of this is going on in secret. Therefore, there are rtively fewer people studying these things. With fewer people and arger workload, more time must be invested. On Daisy Zanes drama crew side, the main focus was on George Dunns storyline. So she got a three-day vacation. On her day off, she finished work early in the morning. She didnt rest after she got off work, but went straight back to the Rose Garden. When she arrived at the Rose Garden, it was already early morning around four. After washing up, she went straight to sleep, intending to go to the research institute the next day. If she cant enter the research institute, she would still go to the Imperial Capital Universityboratory. Kevin rk lived at the research institute these days and knew she had returned. The next day, he bought breakfast and returned to the Rose Garden around seven oclock. At eight oclock, he entered the living room of the Rose Garden, and Daisy Zane had already washed up and came downstairs. Kevin rk looked at her and smiled first: Waking up so early? Looking at the red corners of Kevin rks eyes, Daisy Zane knew that he must have stayed uptest night: I guessed I would wake up. Otherwise, Kevin rk wouldnt bring breakfast so early. I want you to have breakfast and then sleep for a while, Kevin rk said, putting breakfast on the table and going to wash his hands. Aftering out of the restroom, he first held Daisy Zane and kissed her for a while. Daisy Zane was wearing a sports outfit, and Kevin rk had his arm around her waist. After releasing her, Kevin rks arm circled her waist: Your waist is even thinner, you must have lost at least five pounds. I will make it up after shooting, Daisy Zane indifferently replied. Kevin rk lowered his head, gently bumping his forehead against Daisy Zanes forehead with some doubt, Really? Yes. Daisy Zane pulled away from him, her hands in her pockets, and walked towards the dining room with a calm voice, I dont look good being this skinny. Hearing her words, Kevin rkughed and felt relieved. This little girl was a beauty-lover. She didnt like looking like this, so she would definitely find a way to gain weight after shooting. Kevin rk followed her to the dining room, You look good in any way, health is the most important thing. The two sat close together, and Kevin rk ced the breakfast in front of her, serving her a bowl of soup: Eat and then sleep for a while. No, I cant sleep. Daisy Zane took a sip of the soup, I want to go to the research institute. Can I? She had obtained a pass with herst report. Later, Ezekiel Santiago offered her a position at the research institute, but she declined. Now she wasnt part of the research institute and didnt have a pass. If she wanted to go to the research institute, she would have to ept Ezekiel Santiagos offer and be part of their institute. But obviously, she couldnt ept that position right now. So she had to ask Kevin rk. She was registered as Kevin rks student and had a background of support and achievements. If Kevin rk could approve, it should be no problem for her to enter the research institute for a short time. And she wanted to participate in the research Kevin rk and William Lane were leading. They were all their own people the problem shouldnt be too big. Kevin rk peeled her a fried egg and ced it on a dish, raising his eyebrows yfully, Bribe me a little, and you can. Daisy Zane looked down and ate a steamed bun before asking, How do I bribe you? Kevin rk looked at her and chuckled, If something that takes longer is hard to achieve, then lets go for something that can be done anytime. Daisy Zane turned her head to look at him. Kevin rks eyes and eyebrows were full ofughter, Call me something nice, like husband or elder brother. Daisy Zanes expression remained unchanged, but her mind was instantly filled with the words Brother Arthur. Daisy Zane looked away and took another sip of the soup. Kevin rk also peeled himself a fried egg and took a bite. Just as he was thinking about teasing her again before letting go, he heard Daisy Zane slowly, with a slightly cold voice, say, Third Master, dont you think were too close? I think we should keep some distance. Ahem. Kevin rk coughed lightly, and his pupils trembled for a moment. Daisy Zane looked at him, and with a calm expression and tone, said, I think this is a rare opportunity. Third Master can take a good look at me, and see if my attitude is suitable for entering the research institute. It was payback time. Kevin rks heart trembled, and he started choking on the fried egg. Chapter 469: 412: Data Error Chapter 469: Chapter 412: Data Error Kevin rk dutifully took Daisy Zane to the Research Institute.
Upon arrival at the Research Institute, Daisy Zane went straight to theboratory where their team worked with Kevin rk. As soon as they entered, they ran into a man wearing a mask, a whiteb coat, with extremely messy hair, and eyes that were so swollen that they were notpletely open yet. Third Master, Lady Zane. Hearing the voice, Daisy Zane recognized the person. It was Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson followed Kevin rk at the Research Institute, Juan Wright followed Kevin rk in Easton Group, Thomas Firway and James Cooper were in the Dark Radiance. The rest of the few people belonged to the gossip circle, which Daisy Zane had not met yet.
Daisy Zane looked at Michael Jackson and raised her eyebrows slightly. Michael Jackson rubbed his chicken nest hair: Sorry, Im a bit busy. You were busy too on Continent A. Daisy Zane meant that he was so busy in Continent A, but she never saw his hair standing up like that. I need to pay attention to my appearance when Im abroad. Michael Jackson said, somewhat embarrassed, When Im home, I can be more casual. Daisy Zane nodded, understanding, and continued the conversation. Michael Jackson and Kevin rk exchanged a few words before Michael Jackson left with some files. Kevin rk led her inside: Hes not really that busy, hes just being casual. Mm. For the whole morning, Daisy Zane just watched Kevin rks experiments. Because many of the experiments were still ongoing, it was not appropriate for her to get involved at this time. Besides, they knew their own experiments best. She just kept observing and studying the data by their side, acting as an assistant to Kevin rk. William Lane was in anotherboratory, separated only by ayer of ss, so he could see them by just raising his head.
When everyone was working, they were all busy and not paying attention to others. However, when it was almost lunchtime, William Lane finished first on his side. As soon as he rxed, he looked up and saw Kevin rk and his sister standing together, and this sight made him feel ufortable. With that gaze, he wished he could pierce through the ss, putting a gxy between the two of them. William Lane stared at Kevin rk. Did Kevin rk always look like this? The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. Oh, he did look like this before. More than twenty years ago when his sister was pestering him for a hug, Kevin rk had that same annoying look on his face. His gaze was too obvious. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane noticed it, paused, and then looked up at him simultaneously. William Lanes viinous eyes were caught red-handed, and he was startled, suddenly stepping back and colliding with the experimental table. Young Master Lane, with his viinous eyes, held his waist in pain, and bowed down.
Because of William Lane bending down, his figure was blocked by the experimental table. Through the ss, Kevin rk and Daisy Zane could no longer see him. The two of them indifferently withdrew their gazes, exchanged a nce, and then simultaneously lowered their heads to continue their experiment. When Kevin rk and Daisy Zane finally left theboratory, it was already past the lunchtime. However, because many people in the Research Institute dont eat on time, the cafeteria always has hot meals ready anytime. Kevin rk asked Daisy Zane to find a seat first, and then he went to get two meals. As soon as he brought the food back, William Lane also grabbed a serving and sat opposite Daisy Zane. A momentary sh of ruthlessness passed through the depths of Kevin rks eyes. William Lane didnt want to look at him either. Feeling the silent enmity between the two men, Daisy lowered her head, took a bite of rice, and then had a piece of carrot, saying, The Research Institutes food is pretty good. Yes, Kevin replied in a gentle voice, we specially hired a nutritionist.
The Research Institute has a specific budget for food every year, said William Lane. Kevin pursed his lips. Is it funded by Doomsday Hotel? asked Daisy Zane. Yes. Kevin answered before William Lane could, cing a piece of fish onto her te, How did you know? William Lane watched him serve the food, silently clenching his chopsticks. I guessed. Catering to catering, professional counterparts, Daisy said. William Lane: This statementdidnt seem wrong, butit sounded a bit off. Kevin smiled slightly. Daisy Zane quietly ate for a while before starting to discuss the matter at hand, Its still not easy to break down 319. Besides some parts being rted to Immortal, the resthas nothing to do with Immortal at all. Drunken Life Grass, Kevin said while eating, Immortal was originally imitating the effects of Drunken Life Grass. When the data for Immortal was lost, they tried to research and recreate a drug with simr effects to Drunken Life Grass. However, the newly researched drug differed greatly from the original one. So 319 has simrities and differences to Immortal. The records about Drunken Life Grass on the storage card are incorrect, Daisy frowned. Its unclear whether it was a mistake or intentional at the time.
Based on the experiments currently being conducted, the data rted to Drunken Life Grass is incorrect. They dont know the real data, nor do they have any way of finding out. This makes the dposition of 319 quite difficult. William Lane said, Drunken Life Grass is the key. Both Daisy Zane and Kevin rk fell silent for a moment. After a while, Kevin said, All experiments and data are huge. A lot more experimental verification is needed. Perhaps our current phase of experiments is insufficient to prove it. Its too early to draw conclusions now. William Lane also said, Indeed. Perhaps as time goes on, 319 will be dposed. Or maybe the data of Drunken Life Grass is not problematic, and we just havent reached that level. Hearing their words, Daisy raised her eyebrows, Hmm, makes sense. For now, they could only think positively about this matter. Hopefully they are lucky. After finishing their meal, the three returned to theboratory.
Halfway there, Kevin suddenly looked at William Lane and asked, Dont you have something to do this afternoon? Why are you following us back? William Lane didnt want to bother with him, but seeing Charlotte Lane looking over, he exined, Theres a Dance Association gathering at Doomsday Hotel tonight. I need to attend to help maintain the scene, sort of like being the host. Kevin gently furrowed his eyebrows. He had originally been walking next to Daisy Zane when he suddenly took her hand and pulled her closer to him. Looking at his actions, William Lane: A Dance Association gathering? Daisy asked. Yeah, William Lane tried not to look at their hands, avoiding it, We gather every year. Its casualwhenever we have time, we gather. We celebrate various performance sesses, and wee neers if there are any. Do you William Lane nced at Kevin and changed his words, want to go? Daisy Zane shook her head. Seeing Daisy Zane shake her head, Kevin bluntly refused, No. William Lane: Chapter 470: 413: Dance Association Gathering Chapter 470: Chapter 413: Dance Association Gathering The Dance Association gathering was held half a month after the end of the tour.
The tour had taken longer than expected because they had encountered terrible weather at one of the ces in D Continent. They were unable to go out for a month and all the schedules had been pushed back. So, it took much longer than expected. Every year at the Dance Association Gathering, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz would attend, and they would also bring along William Lane. Especially in recent years, William Lane had be a must-attend member. The hospitality is insincere. What kind of host!
Its obviously that Sophie Ortiz wants to find a daughter-inw, so William Lane is brought along to the gathering every year. What if theres a potential match? What if the fate doesnte this year, but arrives the next year? So, Sophie Ortiz holds onto this hope year after year, several years have passed, and her son is still single. The Dance Association gathering is not mandatory to attend, but most of them still do. Of course, those who just joined the Dance Associationst year have also attended. This includes Amelia Miles. Amelia Miles and a few neers toasted to Sophie Ortiz, then left to toast the other teachers. William Lane chatted with a few teachers of the Dance Association and then went over to Sophie Ortiz. What are you looking at? Upon hearing his voice, Sophie Ortiz didnt even look at him, she just said directly: Son, look, that girl. The one with the ponytail, wearing sportswear. William Lane saw her, but still said, Which one? Sophie Ortiz turned her head and red at him: Are you blind?
William Laneughed: Well, I see. Very conspicuous, everyone else is dressed so gorgeously, she is the inest, so she was spotted at a nce. Sophie Ortiz raised her eyebrows: So, what do you think? Two possible thoughts. Either she is really in or trying to catch peoples attention. William Lane said lightly. Sophie Ortizughed: What if shes intentionally trying to catch peoples attention? Has she caught Young Master Lanes eyes? William Lane looked at the young girl and remained silent. Seeing him not talking, Sophie Ortiz sighed softly. Well, another unsessful match. She isst years dance champion. Shes not trying to catch attention, shes just really in. Sophie Ortiz said, Her family condition is average. But the girl is very good, very hardworking, and very resilient, I really like her. William Lane raised his brow. Not hearing William Lane talk again, Sophie Ortiz sighed softly: Are you mute again? Get lost, dont bother people here. Being scolded, William Laneughed: Mom, whats going on with dad? There are not few male teachers and male students in the Dance Association, Andrew Lane kept chatting with them.
However, William Lane noticed early that Andrew Lanes left face seemed to be a bit swollen. And after arriving, he didnt drink a single ss of wine, and asionally touched his face with his hand. It seems ufortable. Its nothing. Just having a heat rash. Huh? William Lane was puzzled. He wondered what could make his father feel upset. Your grandfather told him yesterday about Charlotte Lane and Harton rks marriage news. Sophie Ortiz whispered, He didnt sleep all night, and his tooth swelled this morning. William Lane: On the second day back from the tour, William Lane had told them about this matter. Mainly because of the atmosphere at home, even if he doesnt want to speak, he couldnt hide this matter. Old Master Lane stayed in Imperial Capital for several months without going back to Oxford City, getting up early every day to listen to the opera, take a walk, and practice Tai Chi. Olivia Lane was living in a lodging ce, but on the day they returned home, she was at home.
Unexpectedly, she was ying the pipa at home. What was even more terrifying is that the single photo of Charlotte Lane that used to be on the disy shelf in the living room had been reced with a photo of Olivia Lane and Daisy Zane. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz held it back for a day, and finally called William Lane back. After William Lane exined the situation to the two of them. The two immediately packed up, picked up their suitcases, seemingly paid no attention to the big son in the living room, and went straight out, staying at the hotel where Charlotte Lanes crew was. It was rumored that they were caught as stand-ins outside the crew. They didnte back until Charlottes crew went on a vacation. Not sure if they were discovered by Charlotte Lane. Anyway, William Lane has be totally indifferent now. Having experienced Olivia Lane pretending not knowing and Old Master Lane pretending to have a chance encounter at the show, he even pretended not to recognize him. Knowing about what Old Master Lane did in the morning of that day in the afternoon. William Lane was totally shocked.
Was it the grandfather he remembered? So now his parents actions have be insignificant to him. Even if found out, Charlotte Lane will also cooperate with this act. He did not want to put too much pressure on Charlotte, didnt want her to feel that kinship was a hostage to force her home. But he couldnt control his longing. As for Charlotte Lanes side maybe she feels its easier without punching through thisyer of window paper. So it hase to the current situation. The situation is okay, with the love gradually infiltrating and gradually getting closer. Just William Lane looked at his father and mother, and then thought of Olivia Lane and Old Master Lane. This family mixing in the show business should all be the level of Best Actor and Best Actress. Didnt you go to the hospital for a check? William Lane asked. I did. The medicine I took in the morning was very effective. Sophie Ortiz said, I surfed the inte in the afternoon and saw a photo of Charlotte and Harton rk standing together, and then the medicine stopped working.
William Lane: When William Lane told them about this, he deliberately avoided the matter between Charlotte Lane and Harton rk. He felt that his father might not be able to take this news. But it will be known sooner orter anyways. But he didnt expect the news toe so soon. As the two were talking, Sophie Ortiz looked up and saw Amelia Miles walking towards them. William Lane also saw it, but the two kept talking without any change in their expressions. The daughter of the Miless? Sophie Ortiz asked. Yes. Sophie Ortiz had heard a lot about Charlotte Lane from Olivia Lane these past few days. They missed Charlotte Lanes life for ten years, so they tried to understand as much as possible within half a month. All the details, they dont want to miss anything they could know. So they also learned some things about the Miles and Amelia Miles. And Olivia Lane learned most things from Allonzo Hobson, she probably knew more clearly than William Lane. If I knew it earlier, I wouldnt let her into the Dance Association. Sophie Ortiz murmured. William Laneughed: Mom, you got so much criticism online for giving her a very low score. As the chairman of the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz certainly has the power to decide anything. But the Association has always been democratic, and many teachers have the power to choose their own students. So even though she didnt like Amelia Miless dance at the time, she didnt oppose it when other teachers picked her upter. For Amelia Miles, it was an opportunity, a rare opportunity. For young people, since there is such an opportunity, she is still willing to give it. As for whether she is suitable or not for this road will be proven by time. Amelia Miles walked over here, and chatted with the people around halfway through. Sophie Ortiz took back her sight and said: Her eyes are not clean enough. Ambition isnt bad, but this ambition isnt clean. A dance without a soulWhether its score or post-game interview, Ive been very restrained. But she didnt expect that this person also bullied people at her home. She must be dispensed with no matter what. Mom, people who are harmful to Charlotte, Charlotte almost never show mercy. William Lane said, But Amelia Miles is an exception. Shes still safe and sound. Sophie Ortiz understood, paused and said: Okay, I wont get involved, I wont add chaos. Amelia Miles happened toe over and said respectfully: Teacher Ortiz, Young Master Lane. With the principle of not adding chaos, Sophie Ortiz and William Lane both politely chatted with her a few sentences. Chapter 471: 414: Memory Chapter 471: Chapter 414: Memory Research Institute, 12:30 AM.
Kevin rk forcibly took Daisy Zane out of theboratory. The two did not go home, but instead stayed at the dormitory of the research institute. The dorm rooms at the research institute were all single rooms with double beds. Kevin rk always had his own fixed residence. So, upon entering the room, Daisy Zane smelled the scent of eaglewood on Kevin rk. This unfamiliar ce suddenly became more familiar. Go take a bath first. Kevin rk found a set of his own home clothes for her, Wear mine tonight? Well have someone bring your clothes tomorrow morning.
Okay. Daisy Zane took the clothes and went to take a bath. After her bath, she wore Kevin rks clothes, folding the pants and sleeves. Although they were big, they didnt look bad on her. Kevin rk kissed her, and then used a hairdryer to dry her hair before going to take a bath himself. After he went to the bathroom, Daisy Zaney in bed and looked at the messages on her cell phone, and then looked at the news about the Dance Association from that night. She had intended to wait for Kevin rk to finish his bath and then tell him about her identity and her rtionship with William Lane. But by the time Kevin rk came out of the bathroom, she had fallen asleep, leaning against the head of the bed. The phones screen still disyed the final group photo at the end of the Dance Association event. Kevin rk walked to the side of the bed and took the phone from her hand, turned it off, and ced it on the bedside table. Then he supported her neck and knees to make her lie t on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Daisy Zane knew that Kevin rk had helped her turn off the phone and made her lie down. But she didnt want to open her eyes, not even wanting to look at Kevin rk, because she was too tired. So she didnt want to say what she had nned to say either.
Before falling asleep again, the only thought in her head was, forget the exnation of the rtionship, let it be what it will be. Kevin rk leaned over and kissed Daisy Zane, waiting for her to fall asleep before lying down on the other side. Daisy Zane had been too tired these days. In order to keep up with the schedule, the drama crew filmed one scene after another. While ensuring progress, they also had to ensure quality. She originally had no time to rest on the drama crew, and after returning, she went straight to the research institute. She had no rest today either; high mental activity consumed even more energy. So, during Daisy Zanes three-day vacation, she went straight into theb in the morning and returned to the dormitory after leaving in the evening. After washing up, once sheid down on the bed, she would fall asleep quickly. Even the following night, Daisy Zane fell asleep in the bathtub. It was Kevin rk who carried her out. Kevin rk also noticed that Daisy Zanes degree of sleepiness was somewhat abnormal.
But while she was asleep, he checked her pulse and found nothing unusual. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Daisy Zane, just that she kept recalling her childhood experiences recently. It started from seeing Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane at their hotel. She kept remembering things from the past, and the urrences intensified over the past few days. She also dreamed about it at night. Perhaps because she had been hypnotized to forget these things, recalling them overloaded her brain and caused the phenomenon of excessive sleepiness. As a result, she was busy and her head was in chaos; eventually, Daisy Zane returned to the drama crew without telling Kevin rk about her identity. The day Daisy Zane returned to the drama crew, Johanes Miles and Old Master Miles came to the Imperial Capital again. Because they saw the news about the Dance Harmony Gathering online. They saw the photos online, where Amelia Miles, Sophie Ortiz, and William Lane were chatting, which were posted online. So Old Master Miles went to the Imperial Capital again.
After attending the Lane Familys charity auction before the New Year and knowing that Daisy Zane had married into the rk Family. The Miles Family had been looking for Daisy Zane and trying to contact her. But they stayed in the Imperial Capital until the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, without meeting her or even getting through to her on the phone. So the family went back to Truro City first. This time, after dealing with the matters in Truro City, the whole family came looking for Amelia Miles. Old Master Miles and Johanes Miles even discussed moving the Miles Group and the entire Miles Family to the Imperial Capital. Amelia Miles had been living in Jace Miless apartment all along. So when the Miles Family came, they all moved into that ce. They arrived at noon, and Jace Miles wasnt home. Amelia didnt know about their arrival until they reached the apartment. Grandpa, Mom and Dad, howe youre here? Amelia said, If only you had told me earlier, I would havee to pick you up. Charles Hobson was in a good mood, and he was even happier to see Amelia: Its not our first time in the Imperial Capital. There are so many of us; we dont need you to pick us up.
Old Master Miles said, Well stay here for a while. Once the house in West Town is renovated, well move there. Amelia Miles instantly understood their purpose foring to the Imperial Capital but still showed a surprised expression, Grandpa, are you nning on living here permanently? Johanes said, Weve discussed it and decided to develop our business in the Imperial Capital, gradually moving the Miles Group here. Thats great, Amelia said excitedly, Itll be convenient for the Lane Family to support and help us in the Imperial Capital in the future. Amelias tone seemed casual and natural. As if the Lane Familys support was a given. But Johanes and Old Master Miles were relieved when they heard this sentence. They entered the living room. Amelia went to make tea, while Charles followed her into the kitchen. As the kitchen door closed, Charles lowered his voice and asked, Amelia, how is your progress with Young Master Lane? Its going well. We chatted for a while at the Dance Harmony Gathering. Hes a gentle man, and we get along well, Amelia said. Mom, you dont have to worry. Ive clearly understood all his likes and dislikes and found his contact information. Everything is under control. Im determined to be Young Madam Lane. Charles was relieved: If you say you can do it, then you definitely can. Your mom believes in you.
Amelia smiled, Dad and Grandpa they gave up on Daisy Zane. Speaking of this, Charles couldnt hide the smile on her face. She held Amelias hand and said, Amelia, thank you. If it werent for you, I would have been finished. After the Dance Harmony Gathering, your grandpa and your dads attitude towards me improved. Amelia revealed a triumphant smile on her face, Mom, I told you not to worry. In the future, both the Miles and Lane Families will be ours. You can be at ease as Mrs. Miles, and youll be the mother-inw of the future Master of the Lane family. Charles nodded with a smile: Theyve been trying to find Daisy Zane, but they cant contact her at all. They know they cant rely on her, so they came back to lean on you. After all, Im the one who has been raised in the family since I was young and always looked after the Miles Family. Amelia said. Charles nodded, Your father is too filial and indecisive, always listening to your grandfather. Its my sess or failure in this life. Dont me him. He cares about us in his heart. I know, Amelia said, Mom, dont worry. Everything will be fine. William Lane is over thirty and has never been in a rtionship. A man like that is easy to win over. Plus Sophie Ortiz has a good impression of me. Your mom believes in you, Charles said, Youve received excellent upbringing and education since you were young. Youre so outstanding; John Anderson shouldnt be your destination. Only arge family like the Lanes is worthy of your years of dedication. The mistress of a big family should excel in various aspects, so even if Daisy Zane marries into the rk Family, she wontst long, Amelia said. Charles nodded, Thats right. Thats one of the reasons your father and grandfather decided to give up on her. Its undeniable that shes beautiful, and men like beautiful women, but beauty isnt permanent. Amelia smiled while making tea. No matter how beautiful, men get tired of it eventually, Charles continued, If one cant support a family or be a mans backup, theyll be abandoned sooner orter. Chapter 472: 415: What Kind of Person? Chapter 472: Chapter 415: What Kind of Person? In early May, Daisy Zanes movie wrapped up.
Kevin rk went to the set to pick her up. He brought a wrapping gift and, this time, without changing the type of flowers, he took a bouquet of roses with him again. Before, Kevin rk would send different flowers for the end of every event or when her TV series wrapped up. However, since giving her a bouquet of roses after thest variety show, Kevin felt that she liked roses, so he continued to give roses thereafter. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane went straight back to rk Manor from the set. Mainly because Daisy Zane wanted to go back and see Charles Amos. Ever since she joined the crew again, she hadnt seen Charles Amos.
The lotus leaves in rk Manors lotus pond were gradually unfolding. Moreover, Kevin left a piece ofnd on the north side of his courtyard and nted nearly ten acres of roses. Now rk Manor looked more like a multielement scenic spot. That evening, after Charles Amos went to sleep, Daisy Zane opened two bottles of wine. Kevin knew she had something on her mind, so he didnt stop her and apanied her in drinking. However, Kevins alcohol tolerance was really limited. After less than three sses, he was already slightly intoxicated. The two of them were drinking wine on an Arhat bed in the side hall. The wine was ced on the small tea table in the middle. Behind them, there was only a dim, yellow lotusmp casting light. Centered on the lotusmp, the dim yellow light spread out into the darkness. The dim light gave a sense of peace in that little corner of the world. Kevins consciousness became blurred, so he leaned on the back of the bed, watching Daisy Zane. Her narrow, elongated eyes were tinged with red, soaked in drunkenness, yet filled with endless tenderness.
He watched Daisy Zane take a sip of wine and then said, Little Girl, Im always by your side, and you can do whatever you want. Daisy Zane looked at him. Kevin understood the meaning in her eyes, and his thin, dark red lips turned up a bit, Im not the strongest support. When ites to pharmaceutical formtion research, Kevin has to admit that he is not as good as Daisy Zane. Some things do indeed rely on talent. Daisy Zane doesnt think Kevin is ipetent, nor does she think the entire Research Institute is ipetent, only she can do it. She just feels that with one more person and one more effort, the chances of sess will be greater. As of now, the matters of the Research Institute and Project 319 are more urgent than anything else. This concerns human lives. She has to choose. The true wish of Daisy Zane and all she could aplish, can go only this far. As for whether the movie can win an award, everything is uncertain.
On the other hand, her connection with the real Daisy Zane has been severed once again. Its strong enough, Daisy said softly, Its my own choice. Kevin poured some wine and bumped his ss against hers, Little Girl, youve done a great job already. Some things, some identities, you can let go of. The hand holding the wine ss couldnt help but tighten. She paused, raised her brows lightly, and then drank all the wine in the ss beforeughing carelessly. With a softugh, there were both reluctance and resentment. These were all she could do, but she couldnt even do these well. Kevin knew she couldnt let go, so he didnt try to persuade her more, just apanied her for a while. The two of them chatted casually, and then Daisy Zane mentioned that she was Charlotte Lane. But Kevin was too drunk to react. His voice waspletely sober, still steady, but a little hoarser than usual. However, before Daisy Zane mentioned that she was Charlotte Lane, the two of them were chatting normally.
After she said she was Charlotte Lane, Kevin did not react at all, just said, In my eyes, L Campbell and Olivia Lane are indeed different. I used to hold L as a child, back then Olivia had not been born yet. I dont have much impression of Olivias childhood, just some memories after she grew up. None of them were very good. As he said these words, Daisy was watching him, not reacting at all. His voice was so clear that she thought she was the one who was drunk. Then Kevin continued, But L is just my niece, just like Lily Parker. As Kevin rk spoke, he suddenly looked at Daisy Zane. Although he wasnt sober, he still recognized his little girl in front of him. He looked at Daisy Zane, his voice hoarse but still seemingly lucid, She calls me Third Uncle, and she would call you Little Auntie. Daisy Zane: She didnt want to call herself Little Auntie. She looked at Kevin rk; besides his eyes being a bit hazy and slightly red, there was no sign of intoxication. The two had just chatted for a while, and she hadnt noticed when he had gotten drunk. He had been struggling to stay sober and chat with her. His head was already muddled, the conversation between the twopletely relying on his own subconscious reactions andprehension.
Thus, Third Master rk had been able to respond smoothly to everything said earlier. It was onlyter that the conversation went beyond the scope of Kevin rks thinking. In his mind, the little girl had nothing to do with Charlotte Lane. He assumed the little girl mentioned Charlotte Lane because Kevins feelings towards Charlotte and Olivia Lane were different. So when he heard the name Charlotte Lane, his subconscious began to exin. In fact, he was already struggling to understand what Daisy Zane was saying. I hope shes like Lily Parker, doing well wherever she is, said Kevin rk, lowering his gaze. Hearing this, Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly. Lily Parker was the only girl in the rk familys entire generation of children and grandchildren. One could imagine how much she was pampered in the rk Family. Little girl, Kevin rk hadnt heard her speak for a while, so he reached out to hold her hand and gently squeezed, Dont be angry. Daisy Zane lowered her eyes to look at his hand, and after a moment, she raised her eyebrows and asked, What kind of person is Charlotte Lane? Huh? Kevin rks mind was starting to struggle to keep up.
Charlotte Lane, what kind of person is she? Daisy Zane asked again. Kevin rk looked down at her hand, hesitated a moment, and said, Spoiled. Daisy Zanes already raised eyebrows rose even higher. Crybaby. Daisy Zane looked at him, her other hand tapping lightly on the ss. Attention seeker. Daisy Zanes hand tapped a little harder on the ss. Drama queen. Daisy Zanes beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed. Kevin rk touched the ring on Daisy Zanes left ring finger. It had been a long time since Daisy Zane had worn a ring, neither on set nor in theboratory. But when she had nothing else to do, she would wear it on her hand. Is she pretty? Daisy Zane asked. What? Daisy Zane said, Charlotte Lane. Kevin rk didnt speak. Daisy Zane asked again, Is Charlotte Lane pretty? Kevin rk, one hand on his forehead, suddenly said, Little girl, Im sleepy. Daisy Zane: Lets go back and rest. If it werent for hisck of reaction to such a significant matter, Daisy Zane would have reason to suspect he was faking his drunkenness. In fact, Kevin rk was really starting to struggle, and he was beginning to get confused about what she was asking. He just had a feeling that if he continued to talk about another woman, the little girl would get angry. Daisy Zane looked at the four opened wine bottles on the table, three of which were nearly empty. Although they had only opened two bottles, she had ced several more under the tea table. She finished thest bit in her ss, then stood up. She felt a little dizzy as well. She pressed her temples, pulled Kevin rk up, and said, Lets go upstairs to sleep. Kevin rk stood up, kissed Daisy Zanes lips, and followed her back to their room. Chapter 473 - 416: Reasoning Chapter 473: Chapter 416: Reasoning Daisy Zane spent a day at rk Manor to rest, and followed Kevin rk to the Research Institute the next day. Upon arrival, she went to find Ezekiel Santiago first. She went toplete the formalities of joining the Research Institute. Apart from Ezekiel Santiagos signature, it also required signatures from several professors and even the recognition of several major families. This was because the Research Institute was primarily supported by various families funding. If one were to join after a normal graduation, only signatures from Ezekiel Santiago and Kevin rk would be required. However, since she was entering with exceptional admittance, the procedures were moreplicated. But since Daisy Zanes abilities were well known, and she was instrumental in assisting Continent A, even the moreplicated procedures were easily handled. Ezekiel Santiago hadnt expected, though, to face a hurdle from the Maxwell Family side. There were people from various families in the Research Institute, and its situation was unlike the Imperial Capital, where the rk and Lane Families were the major forces. When the Research Institute was first established, the intention was to maintain internal bnce and prevent any one family from bing too dominant. The main families within the institute had equal power and influence. The Maxwell Family, however, refused to grant approval, and the two professors under their care did not sign either. Their reason was due to Daisy Zanes previous failed exam. This reason didnt even faze Daisy Zane, but Kevin rk blew up first. Thats because he was the one who failed the course. If one family refused to sign the paperwork, joining the Research Institute would be postponed. This dy was euphemistically referred to as an observation period. So when Kevin rk realized that Daisy Zane was stuck outside for half a day and only got an observation period, he threw aside his experiment and ordered Thomas Firway to surround the Maxwell Family with his men. Inside the Research Institute, the power and influence were evenly distributed, so Kevin rk decided to settle this issue outside the institute. He led his men into the Maxwell Home and sat in the living room. Without mentioning the Research Institute matters, he ordered the capture of George Maxwell. Anyone from the Maxwell Family who resisted was beaten by Thomas Firways men. At first, George Maxwell struggled and protested loudly, but after getting hit by Thomas Firway a couple of times, he immediately quieted down and didnt dare say a word. Seeing her son captured and beaten, Mrs. Maxwell screamed and rushed towards Kevin rk, itching to tear him apart. She had already fallen into their hands once, and they only had this one son left; no one could hurt their son. However, she was immediately stopped by the men brought by Thomas Firway, who grabbed her wrist and immobilized her. Kevin rk, what are you trying to do?! Julian Maxwell roared as he watched his son get captured and his wife get restrained. Nothing much, Kevin rk replied calmly and slowly, I just have some personal grievances with George Maxwell. Ill take him away now. You people go on with your business. Kevin rk! Mrs. Maxwell shouted in anger. Kevin rk didnt say anything more, just stood up and motioned for Thomas Firway to take his men and leave. Several members of the Maxwell Family tried to stop them, but none were a match. After a brief scuffle, the Maxwell Home was left inplete disarray. Flowers, vases, tables, and chairs were all broken or damaged. The luxurious and spacious living room now looked like an abandoned factory. Seeing that he couldnt stop Kevin rk, Julian Maxwell became anxious, Kevin rk, you stated that you have personal grievances with George, but what are they? What has he done to you? George protested as well, Dad! Dad! I didnt provoke him! I didnt! Kevin rk, you got it wrong! I havent done anything! Nothing! Julian Maxwell stood in front of Kevin rk, blocking his way, Kevin rk, you have no right to use the rk Familys power in matters concerning the Research Institute. Your actions are in vition of the Research Institutes rules! Do you want to break the bnce that has been maintained in the Research Institute for years? Do you want to be the sinner of the entire Research Institute? Can you bear that responsibility? Kevin rk looked at him and chuckled softly, What are you talking about, Mr. Maxwell? I said its a personal grievance between George and me. What does it have to do with the Research Institute? Julian Maxwells chest heaved with fury, his eyes burning with rage as he stared at Kevin rk. Mr. Maxwell, thats nder. I have the right to report this to the Research Institute, Kevin rk said coldly. George continued to protest, So tell me, how have I offended you? What have I done? After his words, George got punched by Thomas Firway again. He immediately spat blood from his mouth, and it became difficult for him to speak. Mrs. Maxwell watched her son being hit, screaming continuously. Julian Maxwell was also shocked by Thomas Firways punch, looking somewhat dazed. Kevin rk said, Three days ago, George Maxwell harassed a girl at the Clear Shadow Pub. Because the pub owner protected the girl against Georges wishes, George trashed the pub. Julian Maxwell looked at Kevin rk, not knowing what the Clear Shadow Pub had to do with him. He destroyed the entire pub and injured pub employees, Kevin rk sneered. On my turf, harassing a girl, trashing a pub, and injuring employees. George Maxwell, you are the first one to be so audacious. George, already exhausted, barely managed to say, When did Clear Shadow be your territory? Kevin rk didnt answer. He nced at Thomas Firway. Thomas stood expressionless on one side, like a death god. Upon receiving Kevins gaze, Thomas pulled Julian Maxwell aside, making way for Kevin. Without caring about Mrs. Maxwells shouting, Julian Maxwells threats and anger, or the obstacles presented by the Maxwell family, Kevin forcefully took George Maxwell away. In the car, Kevin looked at the messages on his phone. The contract with Juan Wright had already been signed. Clear Shadow Pub had been bought, and it was now Kevins territory. Since leaving the Research Institute, Kevin had asked Juan to investigate George Maxwells recent actions. There were many things George had done, and nine out of ten of those activities couldnt be brought to light. But Kevin couldnt do anything about it. So among the many incidents, Kevin chose one. At that time, Juan hesitated and said, This one? This pub has nothing to do with us. We are not very reasonable, Third Master. Shouldnt you pick another one? Then Kevin said, Not involved Cant I buy it? Am I short of money? A smashed pub, not to mention the ce, just the wine inside would cost a lot of money. Buying it at a high price, any businessman would want to get rid of this mess. Even if they really didnt want to sell, they would have to give Kevin some face. So when Kevin went to the Maxwell family, Juan went to buy the pub with awyer. Third Master, where are we taking George Maxwell? Thomas asked. Manor Dungeon, Kevin replied, keep him there for now. At the Research Institute, lunchtime came, and Daisy Zane and William Lane went to the cafeteria together. William even asked someone to buy Daisy a cup of strawberry-vored milk tea. Wheres Kevin rk? William didnt know what had happened since he went to the upstairsboratory in the morning. Are the procedures all done? Not yet. Daisy replied, There was a problem, and Kevin went to reason with them. William frowned, What happened? The Maxwell family didnt sign. Daisy took a sip of milk tea, Not a big issue. When did he go? As William asked, he was about to leave. Daisy said, He should be back soon. William sat back down. Sitting for a while, William became increasingly upset. He then sent a message to his special assistant, asking him to check if there were any recent important projects of the Maxwell family. Although Julian Maxwell was stationed in the military district and under Theo rks control, the Maxwell family also had an inherited business. William didnt catch up with Kevin to reason together, but he couldnt let the Maxwell family get away with it either. Daisy didnt think too much, took a few more sips of the milk tea, and suddenly asked, Does Grandfather have a sworn son? Hearing her words, William suddenly dropped his phone in surprise and looked at Daisy with amazement and joy. She had just said Grandfather instead of your grandfather or Old Master Lane. She She recognized their rtionship. Daisy and William looked at each other for a while, then Daisy softly said, The phone screen should be shattered. That sound was the sound of the screen shattering. William came back to his senses, picked up the phone from the ground, and saw that the screen was indeed shattered. Its okay. William casually put the phone on the table, feigning calm but utterly panicked, You, what did you just say? Does Grandfather have a sworn son? Daisy hesitated for a moment and then smiled and replied. William looked at her and smiled: Yes, he does. Why? Nothing. I remembered him recently. Daisy said, We even had a conflict in M Continent. William raised his eyebrows: Its fine. Weve lost touch with him, almost broken all contacts. Daisy nodded. Chapter 474 - 417: Entering the Research Institute Chapter 474: Chapter 417: Entering the Research Institute Kevin rk took George Maxwell away, and Julian Maxwell tried all ways but failed to find him, let alone rescue him. Julian knew his son too well. He was well aware of all the bad things George had done and how many problems he had fixed for him. If he dared to call the police, Kevin could surely get George arrested. But Kevin didnt choose to send George to prison directly, instead, he left some room for Julian to do what he had to do. So this matter could only be settled privately. Thats also why Kevin dared to take George away so tantly. After searching for a day and night, Julian finally had no choice but to ask Nathan North for help, hoping he would intercede. Nathan did talk to Kevin, who agreed very readily. But thenthe matter seemed to be dropped. As if Nathan had never talked to Kevin at all. Not until one dayter, with Mrs. Maxwell constantly making a fuss at home, Julian ran out of options. He learned that none of the rk Familys forces were involved. Those who took George away and broke into the Maxwell Family were Kevins own people,pletely unrted to the rk Family. As a result, he had no clue where to find George. Everyone knew that all this was because the Maxwell Family hadnt signed the qualification letter for Daisy Zane to enter the Research Institute. Julian even found out that the bar, where George was taken away, had been transferred to Kevin the same day. But even with this knowledge, he was helpless since his son was in their hands. The bar was just an excuse. After dragging on for two days, Julian didnt want topromise. If ra Mitchell was taken to Mountain Sea Continent Prison, he wouldnt let Daisy Zane off easily. However, with George captured, Kevin wouldnt possibly treat him well. The best oue would be to lock him up and ignore him. But what if he got beaten? Within the Maxwell Family, Julian had seen the power of Thomas Firways fist. Could Georges body withstand Thomass punches? So in the end, with no other choice, Julian signed the letter. He went to the Research Institute early in the morning to sign it. After the Maxwell Family signed, the two professors also signed. Daisy Zanes enrollment in the Research Institute was quickly settled. But because Julian had dragged it for two days, Kevin still waited for another day before letting someone send George back. And he even sent a message: Mr. Maxwell. It was out of consideration for Commander rk that Third Master let George go. Please discipline your son properly, so that others wont have to do it for you. Not mentioning the Research Institute matter. It was as if Kevin was doing a favor for his brother, just saying he would release George, but not specifying when. Your signing the letter is your business. Capturing and releasing George is my business. These two matters had nothing to do with each other, just a coincidence. Julian was furious but had to swallow his anger temporarily. As soon as Kevins men left, George startedining. Julian hurriedly untied the ropes around George, while Mrs. Maxwell saw the bruises and bloodstains on her son, she couldnt help but cry while holding him. While being held, George kept urging Julian to take revenge for him. Furious, Julian pped him. Mrs. Maxwell said, Why did you hit him! Hes already been beaten like this; dont you feel sorry for him? How could you be a father? Its precisely because I didnt hit him enough that hes be like this! Julian roared. Youre utterly useless. If you had half the ability of your sister, we wouldnt be in this situation now! George dared not speak after being pped. He had been silent these few days, for fear of being beaten whenever he opened his mouth. Mrs. Maxwell eximed, Whats the point of saying these things now! All you do is yell at home! If you have the guts, go deal with Kevin rk and Daisy Zane! I wont let them off, Julian spat out these words and left. Mrs. Maxwell checked the injuries on Georges body and took him to the hospital. After Daisy Zane obtained her qualifications, she officially entered the Research Institute. And she even had her ownboratory. So Daisy Zane ruthlessly abandoned Kevin rk and went to her ownboratory. Since then, Arthur North and William Lane have been leading their teams in researching Immortal. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane were leading their teams to dpose 319 separately. Both of them were in the same Research Institute, even in the same building. Yet they couldnt see each other the whole day. Because of different tasks, they couldnt even find time to have lunch together. Plus William Lane. The three of them ended up having three different lunch times. Kevin rk was fine since he could see his wife when he went to bed at night. Sometimes, William Lane wouldnt be seen for several days in a row. He began to doubt whether Charlotte Lane was really at the Research Institute. Their sibling rtionship would not improve like this. Days of repetitive work in theboratory, and with slow research progress, time seemed to fly by. In June, the College Entrance Exam approached. On the eve of the entrance exam, Daisy Zane prepared bracelets for everyone in Senior Three ss Sixteen. She designed them a long time ago. Two different designs for boys and girls. After she made the designs, she had a factory, which was specially responsible for production at Spotlight, spent nearly three months making them. Both Skyler Thomas and the teachers of various subjects received them. Daisy Zane didnt show up, she let Anisa Cooper send them instead. Following Daisy Zanes instructions, Anisa Cooper said a few encouraging words to everyone. Then she also said that the gift was not expensive, it was designed by Daisy Zane herself, mainly for the purpose of bringing good luck. But it could be seen that high-quality jadeite was used, and the price was not cheap. On the day of the College Entrance Exam, Daisy Zane finally put her experiment aside and saw Olivia Lane off. Originally, the entire Lane Family wanted to send Olivia Lane off. However, Olivia Lane felt a little embarrassed about her whole familying to see her off for the exam at age 20. So she turned them down. Then she turned around and called Daisy Zane, asking her to see her off. So, early in the morning on June 7th, both William Lane who insisted oning and Daisy Zane who was invited, came to see Olivia Lane off together. Kevin rk originally wanted toe along too, but Daisy Zane refused as she was afraid that he might scare Olivia Lane and affect her performance during the exam. Fearing to cause a disturbance at the entrance, Daisy Zane didnt get out of the car when they arrived at the examination venue. Do your best, Daisy Zane said, Ive reserved a banner for you. It will stretch from the school entrance to your front door. Olivia Lane pursed her lips: I said I dont want it. Daisy Zane smiled: What do you want then? After thinking for a moment, Olivia Lane said, If I be the Citys Top Scorer, you will grant me a wish. Am I a geniemp? Olivia Lane looked at her. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows: Fine. Im the geniemp. William Lane watched the two from the drivers seat. Why did his younger sister seem to have a higher status than him? Even more than just a little bit. You promised that you would grant any wish. Mmm. Daisy Zane said, Definitely. Even if you want a star, Ill try to find a way to pick one for you. Olivia Lane smiled, hugged Daisy Zane, opened the car door, and got out,pletely ignoring William Lane. William Lane watched Olivia Lane walk towards the examination room without looking back, got out of the car, and chased after her. Daisy Zane watched the two of them from inside the car, raising the corner of her mouth with a smile. Chapter 475 - 418: Taking You Home Chapter 475: Chapter 418: Taking You Home The first day of the college entrance exam saw students being sent to the examination hall. After thest exam, Daisy Zane went to the examination hall to pick people up again. This time, she came by herself because William Lane and Kevin rk were busy with a meeting at the research institute. Daisy Zane had brought a bouquet of pink roses for her, not for any special reason, but because she remembered that Amelie Quentin loved pink roses, so she bought some. So, when Amelie Quentin came out and saw the bouquet of roses, she stared at Daisy Zane for a while before refusing to let go of the flowers. Where to? Daisy Zane asked, looking at the delight in her face. Why dont you ask me how I did on my exams first? replied Amelie Quentin. Daisy Zane noticed that someone was filming her on their cell phone, so she started the car first. How did the exams go? Amelie Quentin grinned, They said the questions were quite challenging this year. So I guess I got a perfect score. Daisy Zaneughed, Hmm, pretty good. Then you remember the wish I made. Yep, I remember it. Daisy Zane hit the main road and asked again, Where to? Amelie Quentin thought for a while, Can you take me home? Daisy Zane arched an eyebrow, Sure. Do you need a GPS? asked Amelie Quentin, hesitating. Daisy Zane nced at her and smiled, Just head east. Anyone in the Imperial Capital should know where the Lane Family lives, right? Amelie Quentin pursed her lips. Seeing that she was quiet, Daisy Zane asked after a while, Have you thought of any course you want to pursue? Pharmaceutical Formtion, Amelie Quentin immediately replied. Do you like it? Daisy Zane asked. I want to be with you guys. Choose what you like, Daisy Zane said. Even if you dont get into the research institute, we will still be together. Plus, once you join the institute and get involved in different projects, theres a chance we might not see each other for months. Amelie Quentin hadnt considered these issues before. Indeed, if they were involved in different projects, and by the time she finishes her work, the rest could still be busy. And by the time theyre done, she might be busy again. Then Ill think about it again, Amelie Quentin said. Daisy Zane didnt want her to join the research institute for personal reasons. If she liked it, theres nothing for her to remark upon, but if its for this reason, she would not advise it. At least from what can be seen now, the research institute might not be peaceful, with troubles both inside and outside, which is very dangerous. Choose what you like, Daisy Zane said. Anything is fine, as long as you like it. Hmm. Amelie Quentin agreed, Then, I will pick again. Daisy Zane dropped Amelie Quentin off at the entrance to the Lane Family. Upon arrival, they both did not get off the car. Daisy Zane looked at the building outside, the ancient manor, solemn, luxurious, and mysterious. Amelie Quentin followed her gaze for a while, before asking, Do you want toe in and sit for a while? Daisy Zane pulled back her gaze and looked at Amelie Quentin, hesitating before declining, No. A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Amelie Quentins face. Seeing her upset, Daisy Zane added, Some other day. Amelie Quentin turned to look at her, blinked her eyes, and was just about to speak when Daisy Zane beat her to it, Dont ask which day Some other day is. Amelie Quentin: Daisy Zane chuckled lightly, Go on, go home. Oh. Amelie Quentin got out of the car, clutching the flowers. Just as she was about to close the car door, she stopped and held the door open, In a few days, its Phoebe Turners birthday party, are you going? Daisy Zane had indeed received the invitation a few days ago. I will probably go, Daisy Zane said. They had been incredibly busy at the research institute for nearly a month, continuously repeating experiments and confirming that the data rted to drunken life grass on the storage card was indeed erroneous. Moreover, the data discrepancy was evenrger than what they initially discovered. The dposition of 319 has entered a certain stagnation phase again. During this time, she had developed a new experimental method based on the existing data. Both Kevin rk and Ezekiel Santiago agreed with this method. In the words of Ezekiel Santiago. This child, Nicholson Amos, is the researcher I have seen who likes to ze new trails the most. She is never confined to existing methods, she is always innovating and carving new paths. Moreover, she has the ability to do so. It seemed that the construction inside her head was more advanced than ordinary people. But the new path she opened, the new method she created, has progressed very slowly. Indeed, there is hope to deconstruct itsponents, and maybe even restore some of the drunken life grass data based on thepleted dposition of 319 and the existing Immortal. But this method, without two or three years, may not yield results. Now they are experimenting with her new method while she is also looking for a faster method. But there has been no new progress so far. So the busiest period has passed. This stagnation period, bottleneck period, shes not so busy. At least she has time to attend a banquet in the evening. Moreover, Phoebe Turner had invited her more than once. During the filming, Phoebe Turner yed a role again. Even before the wrap-up of the film, Phoebe Turner personally invited her once. Later, Xavier Dominic sent an invitation, and Phoebe had messaged her once again. Then I will join too, Amelie Quentin said. Alright. Daisy Zane said, Go home. Hmm. Phoebe Turners birthday banquet this time was a huge event. There was no special reason. It was just that, a marketing ount had been spreading rumors about her tumultuous marriage, even with specific details. Although it seemed like convincing rumors, she didnt pay any mind to it at first. But suddenly someone started to target her husband, tantly flirting with him. Even some people targeted her, sending flowers, bags, jewelry, and even real estate. Then Xavier Dominic got angry first. What were they doing? He had a big son right here, right? Flirting with his dad and seducing his mom. Where did that leave him? So, he suggested hosting the birthday banquet. To rify false news, and then strengthen some rtionships. Every year, their family, a titan in the entertainment industry, hosted events, which were mostly attended by people from inside the industry. They took this opportunity to throw a big party and forge rtionships with people in the Imperial Capitals business circle. The venue was still the Doomsday Hotel and many people attended. The rk Family, with Theo rk included, came by, and from the Lane Family, Andrew Lane brought his wife along. Most attendees were equals to Phoebe Turner, the older generation wasnt present. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane arrived early. When they arrived, the banquet had not yet begun. Both of them went to Phoebe Turners room first. Daisy Zane had specifically brought a gift for Phoebe Turner. It was a set of jewelry that she had designed herself. She had drawn the design very early, and it had been kept in Felix Bakers safe all this while. Before joining the groupst year, she went to Spotlight to get some design drawings she had drawn before, made some modifications, then asked Felix Baker to produce the finished items. But they had not been released yet. Because the release conference of Spotlight was still in preparation. This was one of them. Daisy Zane felt that it was very suitable for Phoebe Turner, so she took it as a birthday gift to her. After receiving the gift, Phoebe Turner loved it, and it matched her dress for today. So, she wore the ne and earrings from the set. Chapter 476 - 419: I Don’t Agree to This Marriage! Chapter 476: Chapter 419: I Dont Agree to This Marriage! Mom, are you done with your makeup? Allonzo Hobson came over with his father to take a look at Phoebe Turner amidst his busyness. All done. Phoebe Turner looked at her husband and said, Do you find my ne beautiful? George Hobson replied, Beautiful, and the person wearing it is even more beautiful. Phoebe Turnerughed, It was a gift from Daisy. She even designed it herself, isnt that impressive? The agent, whos been helping out front, came over and saw her ne and earrings. He said, Why didnt you wear a Spotlight set? As the spokesperson for Spotlight, it doesnt look good wearing jewelry from other stores. Im wearing a Spotlight ring. Agent:? Global spokesperson, and she chose to wear the sponsored jewelry in the least noticeable part of her body, her hand. Realizing he couldnt sway her, the agent turned to Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson said, Isnt it designed by Daisy? In that case, its fine. Just wear it. Agent: Without further exnation, Allonzo Hobson said, Mom, you and Dad should take some photos. Have someone edit them and post them on Facebook. Ill go ahead. Although the banquet hadnt started, they needed to build up the hype online first. Wait a moment. Phoebe Turner stopped him, Wheres Robinson Scott? Why hasnt he arrived yet? Allonzo Hobson checked the time, Ten minutes, hell be here within ten minutes. Alright. Off you go. After Allonzo Hobson left, George Hobson and Phoebe Turner posed for some photos, giving a loving disy. They had the pictures edited and then Phoebe Turner posted them on Facebook. As soon as the post went up, fans flooded in. Most of thements were praising Phoebe Turner, with a few people giving George Hobson perfunctorypliments as well. Of course, there were those who sang a different tune, saying their marriage only existed in name. Phoebe Turner ignored them and saw ament praising her ne. She thought for a moment, then replied: [It was gifted by Daisy, who also designed it herself.] The jewelry designs were excellent, not inferior to any major brand currently avable. Such talent shouldnt be buried. Moreover, Phoebe Turner often saw posts mocking Daisy Zane for herck of education and origin in the Countryside. So she thought she could build a positive image and directly address the situation. Little did she know that her kind words would unintentionally cause trouble. The banquet hadnt started yet. Kevin rk and Daisy Zane left Phoebe Turner and went to the Rest Area. After the two sat there for a while, Daisy Zane asked, Who else from your family is here besides you? My eldest brother and his family are here, Kevin rk said. Do you want to go meet them? Yes. Daisy Zane got up. If you dont want to meet them, you dont have to, Kevin rk said, sitting on the sofa, holding her hand, and looking up at her. Dont worry about it too much, just take it easy. Its not that I dont want to meet them. Its been a long time since Ist saw them, so I should see them now. Daisy Zane pulled Kevin rk up with force. The two of them went to the Inner Hall area. Kevin rk asked a staff member about the Restroom, and then directly led Daisy Zane there. As the door opened, Daisy Zane heard voices not just from Theo rks family. As expected, once Kevin rk brought her in, they saw not only Theo rks family of four, but also the entire Lane family of four. The two families were engaged in conversation, and as Kevin and Daisy entered, everyone looked at the couple. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, upon seeing Daisy Zane, fixed their eyes on her, unable to look away. Anxious, excited, and longing Sophie Ortiz tightly held Andrew Lanes hand, repressing the urge to rush forward and hug Daisy. Calvin Stewart spoke first, Lucia, you guys are here? Come,e and sit. Hardy rk also got up, walked over to Daisy Zane, took her hand, and said, Auntie, its been a long time since Ive seen you. I miss you so much. Seeing that she grabbed Daisy Zanes hand, Olivia Lane immediately got up, grabbed Daisy Zanes other arm, and pulled her to her side. Daisys hand was snatched from Hardys grasp. Olivia even pushed Kevin aside in the process of grabbing Daisy Zane, causing him to stagger. She didnt say anything, just held onto Daisy Zanes arm. Kevin rk: Hardy rk stared at her now-empty hand: Theo rks family watched Olivia Lanes actions. William Lane pursed his lips and said nothing. After looking at her empty hand, Hardy rk looked up to see Olivia Lanes hostile gaze. She grabbed Daisy Zanes hand again, and continued staring at Olivia. Hugo rk watched the two of them. Daisy Zane was pulled by two people: you guys What are you two doing? Kevin rk spoke first, Let go. As Kevin rk spoke, the two hesitated, and subconsciously loosened their grip. Kevin rk brought her to his side, ignoring Hardy rk and Amelie Quentin, introducing Daisy Zane to his knuckles: The former head of the Lane Family, Andrew Lane, is Roy Madisons father. This is the president of the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz, Roy Madisons mother. Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, then gently bowed her head to the two. Her memories of the two people in front of her were quite interesting. From what she could recall now, almost all of it involved Sophie Ortiz training her. And then Every time she got trained, there was definitely someone else standing next to her. It was her father. But it seemed that her father was always more miserable. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz immediately stood up and walked towards Daisy Zane. Sophie Ortizs eyes were fixed on Daisy Zane. When she reached her, she held her hand: You are Daisy, right? I watched your shows, they were all very good. Andrew Lane nodded in agreement on one side: Thats right, thats right. Great acting skills. Kevin rk looked at the two peoples kindly faces, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He then continued to introduce: Brother Lane, sister-inw, this is my wife. Daisy Zane: Andrew Lane: Sophie Ortiz: Roy Madison watched the excitement from the side, almostughing out loud. Fortunately, Kevin rk had always allowed Daisy Zane to address others as she pleased, not forcing her to follow any specific habit. As the Lane couple stood up, Theo rk and Calvin Stewart also came over. Hugo rk and Roy Madison had no choice but to join them, standing together. Calvin Stewart said: This is the third brothers wife. They got their certificates but havent held the wedding banquet yet, so they havent told everyone. Andrew Lanes face visibly fell. He lowered his gaze and saw the ring on Daisy Zanes left hand. He closed his eyes, and his teeth began to ache faintly. She looks like a good girl. Sophie Ortiz looked at Daisy Zane, her smile bing more and more kind. So kind that it made Roy Madison and Amelie Quentins hairs stand on end when they saw it. Their mother would chase them around the Lane Family Estate twice when she hit them. The word kind had nothing to do with their mother. Kevin rk saw them suddenly gather around Daisy Zane and start chatting. And after Calvin Stewart praised her, Sophie Ortiz praised her too. Daisy Zane was caught in the middle, unable to get a word in, just smiling. He was worried that Daisy Zane might be ufortable, so he pulled her out of the crowd and said, You guys chat first, well go outside. Calvin Stewart responded quickly and cooperatively: Go ahead, go ahead. You young people should go out and have fun, no need to keep uspany here. Kevin rk took Daisy Zane out without paying attention to anyone else. Andrew Lane watched Kevin rks receding figure and then looked at Sophie Ortiz. Although he didnt say anything, that look clearly meant: Look at him, look at him, so arrogant! Self-indulgent! Proud andcent! Who would marry their daughter to him! I disagree with this marriage! In the future, when Im not around and you dont want to deal with these things, just leave. Kevin rk held her hand and said, Mrs. rk has the right to be arrogant. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. But Im really curious, Kevin rk straightened her skirt hem, Why do all the Lanes like you? Theyre famously cold and emotionless towards outsiders. Daisy Zane: Why are they so enthusiastic about you? Is it because my wife is so likeable? Daisy Zane hesitated for a while and stopped walking. Kevin rk also stopped with her: Whats wrong? Daisy Zane looked at him and paused before saying: Kevin rk, actually Brother Nine! Robinson Scott started shouting from three meters away, interrupting Daisy Zane before rushing over and hugging her. Due to inertia, Robinson Scott hugged Daisy Zane and stumbled forward two steps. Kevin rk supported Daisy Zane at the waist and stopped her. Robinson Scott released her after a hug: Did you miss me? Daisy Zanes words were interrupted, she coldly replied: No. Robinson Scott: Allonzo Hobson walked over just in time to hear that sentence,ughed, and then received a re from Robinson Scott. Brother Nine, youre just insincere, Robinson Scott stood next to Daisy Zane, Brother Nine, I got three hairpins from my fathers warehouse and put them in Celestial Pivot. Dont worry, theyre all items from the living world. Take a look when you have time. Okay. Chapter 477: 420: Plagiarism Chapter 477: Chapter 420: giarism The banquet began, and Xavier Dominic went to entertain the guests.
Arthur North, William Lane, and the others found the quietest rest area with the widest view in the banquet hall and sat down. Lily Parker and Amelie Quentin even started ying dice. William Lane said, What a good opportunity to build rtionships, but were just sitting here doing nothing. Arthur North said, Im not the rk Family heir, I dont need to. I dont want to drink today. Hugo rk said, then looked at William Lane, What about you? Imzy; I dont want to move. William Lane continued to do nothing.
Robinson Scott looked at them and whispered to Daisy Zane, Why are they all like this? What did you expect? Daisy Zane replied. Robinson Scott had nothing to say, and guessed the dice in Amelie Quentins hand: Big! Daisy Zane: Small. Amelie Quentin lifted the cover: Two two three, small. Robinson Scott said, Its a good thing this isnt a casino, or Id be dead broke today. How are things between you and Xavier Dominic? Daisy Zane suddenly asked. Just like that. Robinson Scott said, Anyway, I will never marry him. Even if there is only one man left in the world, I wont marry him. Daisy Zane raised her wine ss and tapped it against Robinsons: You have ambition. Of course, Robinson Scott said. Ambition is what Ick the least. Hey? Brother Arthur, isnt that Amelia Miles? As she said this, Lily Parker and Amelie Quentin also looked in the direction she was pointing. How did she get in? Amelie Quentin wondered.
William Lane noticed her disgusted tone and followed her gaze, and then said, She must have been brought by Professor Bill. He really likes her. Why is she still in the Dance Association? Amelie Quentin said. Robinson looked at her and said, Brother Arthur, youre a bit soft-hearted. Hearing her words, a few people looked at Robinson Scott and then at Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane tilted her head back slightly, took a sip of wine, and didnt say anything. Robinson Scott said, Just a face, after all. If you cant bring yourself to do it, I will. Ive got plenty of time recently. Arthur North squeezed Daisy Zanes hand gently. The dancepetition had been over for a long time. Even the Johnson family in Truro City had fallen, and Amelia Miles had been exposed as the person behind sending Daisy Zane to the rooftop of Doomsday Hotel. But Daisy Zane hadnt made a move yet. Arthur North knew she wasnt soft-hearted. She just didnt want to watch every person and thing rted to the real Daisy Zane disappear one by one from this world.
Her feelings for the real Daisy Zane were too deep. So deep that Arthur North noticed that the young girls mentality had been affected to some extent, bing paranoid and even somewhat twisted. You dont need to. Arthur North said to Robinson Scott. Robinson Scott: Ill deal with it myself, Daisy Zane said, standing up. You guys have fun here; Ill go over there and have a look. Morris, George Dunn, Serena Buster, Felix Baker, Joseph Allen and other drama crew members who had worked together came as well. Daisy Zane came over to greet Phoebe Turner, chatted with a few acquaintances, and then started talking with Joseph Allen. Mainly because she saw Joseph Allen and came over. The two hadnt seen each other for a long time. While Daisy Zane and Joseph Allen chatted, Arthur North apanied them the whole time. During their conversation, Daisy Zane and Phoebe Turner both went on the hot search. Today was the Hobson Familys home game, so it was normal for Phoebe Turner to be on the hot search, but it seemed like Daisy Zane was grabbing attention by doing so.
As a result, the onlookers clicked on the topic. It was even more interesting inside. Daisy Zane was used of giarizing a Spotlight piece, and Phoebe Turner was scolded for wearing giarized jewelry. Moreover, as a spokesperson, she didnt wear the spokesperson brand jewelry. Originally, the heat of the two entries was not high, but the staff of Spotlight suddenly interfered. The two entries instantly reached the hot search. At the banquet scene, everyone was busy socializing, few people were looking at their mobile phones, and no one paid attention to the news online. This matter at most fermented online and would not be making trouble on the scene. However, the screen in the middle of the banquet hall ying the photo album of Phoebe Turner suddenly went ck, and then the hot search on Facebook appeared on the screen. Moreover, it was a well-produced animation, ying frame by frame like a slideshow. The main information was on each slide, which could be understood at a nce. The screen in the middle was veryrge, and even those with 4.0 vision could see the content clearly from two meters away. So, when it suddenly went ck, it was very obvious.
Almost everyone in the banquet hall looked at the screen. And then they saw the big melon that appeared on the screen after it lit up again. The birthday feast instantly turned into a gossip scene. The content on the screen was not only yed automatically but also yed in a loop. For a moment, the banquet hall quieted down, and everyone looked at the screen without speaking. Xavier Dominic was the first one to take action. After seeing the content on the screen, he immediately went backstage. For a while, the backstage staff was also in a mess. Xavier Dominic saw the chaos backstage and hurriedly asked, Whats going on? Young Master Hobson. The staff in charge of the equipment said, We have been attacked by a hacker. The main target is theputer connected to the screen. Although at the Doomsday Hotel. Theputer used to y the screen used a normal system, without any other security systems installed. Because thisputer was just used to disy some activities, there was no need for any special security systems. Reboot it, said another staff member.
Thats the only way. Wait, Xavier Dominic said. Leave it like that. Huh? The staff all had confused expressions on their faces. Leave it like that. You dont have to worry about it. Xavier Dominic finished speaking and went back out front. As soon as he went out, Phoebe Turner and George Hobson came over. Phoebe Turner thought the dress was hindering her walking speed, so she lifted the dresss skirt hem with one hand and anxiously asked, Whats going on? Seeing his parents, Xavier Dominics gloomy face eased slightly: Mom, dont worry, its a hacker attack. George Hobson frowned, Whats going on? Who would dare? Its my fault, Phoebe Turner med herself. I talked too much online and caused trouble. What should we do now? ording to the screen, the Spotlight staff got involved. Mom, its okay, Xavier Dominic gripped her hand, Its easy to solve. You and dad rest for a while. At the rest area, Roy Madison, Robinson Scott, and others also saw the message on the screen. Roy Madison stood up and walked towards Daisy Zane. Olivia Lane and Lily Parker immediately checked the online news. Robinson Scott put the wine ss on the table and got up, There is more free entertainment to watch. Come on, two little sisters, lets go and watch the excitement. Theo rk and his wife and Andrew couple on the upper floor also saw the news on the screen. The Andrew couple knew Charlotte Lanes identity in Spotlight based on their almost all-round understanding during this period. But Theo rk and his wife didnt know, and Calvin Stewart hurried downstairs. Madam, what are you doing? Theo rk asked as he followed her. Backing her up, Calvin Stewart threw two words impatiently. Theo rk followed her downstairs. This posture didnt look like backing up; instead, it looked like going directly to hit someone. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, on the other hand, were rtively calm. Sophie Ortiz said, No one should dare to tantly change the content on the screen backstage. After all, this was the Lane Familys territory, and it was Phoebe Turners birthday party. Andrew Lanes face went cold, and he made a phone call: Bring theputer from the car. He wanted to see, which hacker was so reckless as to target their Lane Family. Chapter 478: 421: Resolving the Issue Discreetly Chapter 478: Chapter 421: Resolving the Issue Discreetly When Daisy Zane and Kevin rk saw the message on the screen, Daisy was silent for a while.
Seeing Daisy silent in her speechlessness, with the silence spreading, Kevin asked, Where is Felix Baker? Joseph Allen looked around and said, I think he just went out to answer a phone call. Kevin rk: As soon as this conversation ended, everyone in the banquet hall looked over. Some were curious, some were confused, some were just looking. Some were disgusted, some were condemning Kevin rk scanned the crowd and then ced his wine ss on the table beside him.
The collision of the ss and table made a noise, and the ss shattered the next second. The red liquid in the ss spilled out and flowed down the table. Everyones pupils shrank, and then they immediately looked away. Joseph Allen nced at the broken ss and said, Ill go check on Felix Baker. Daisy Zane nodded. The message on the screen continued to roll. Daisy Zane casually took a sip of wine and looked at it calmly. The screen disyed messages about her giarism, sent by a staff member from within Spotlight. They posted a photo, a close-up screenshot of Phoebe Turners ne, and a design draft. Comparing the two, they were mostly the same with just some changes to the details. To prove it, the staff member posted their work certificate with only simple redactions. That design draft was indeed Daisys draft, which had been in Felix Bakers safe. Daisy thought to herself. It wasnt always in the safe though.
Spotlight has a n to train designers, and Felix Baker used some of her designs as teaching aids for others. Two separate photos were also intentionally posted on the screen, erged andpared. As she watched, William Lane, Robinson Scott, and Olivia Lane came over. William Lane looked very serious, and he wished he could catch and kill the person responsible the next second. Hardy rk had a face full of sympathy and concern. The rest their expressions were all subdued. Hugo rk and Robinson Scott were the most indifferent. Robinson Scott even had a look of relishing the spectacle on his face. As for Olivia Lane her beautiful little face seemed to be saying, how unlucky can you be? Looking at their expressions, Daisy Zane understood that only Hardy rk was unaware of the situation. Seeing Olivia Lane holding her cell phone, Daisy took it from her hand and checked the messages on it. Hugo rk noticed Olivia Lane obediently handing over her phone to Daisy, a hint of doubt shing in his eyes. Was she this well-behaved? Daisy Zane looked down at the messages on her phone.
Almost all of them were cursing her. [Shameless! Taking someone elses work as your own, how can you have the nerve? Someone worked hard to create that design, and after you modify it, its suddenly yours?] [This is too tant. After giarizing, you even gifted it to someone else. What were you thinking? How could you present it, dont you feel any shame?] [Is this the arrogance of those with connections? Not only can they order the drama crew to stop or restart work at will, but they can also im someone elses design as their own?] [Poor Phoebe Turner. Not wearing Spotlights jewelry but happily wearing someone elses design, and it turns out to be a counterfeit. How does she exin this to Spotlight?] [giarism dog, get out of the entertainment industry!] [Phoebe Turner got what she deserved. As a spokesperson, she doesnt wear the brand she represents, but wears someone elses design.] [The powerful collude and band together, like a nest of snakes and rats. They might have even nned this together. They wanted to build Daisy Zanes talented image, but it was exposed so quickly.] [Serves them right. Who told them to mess with yson Ninevaras design? It would be better to take anyone elses, why ysons?] [ysons works are powerful, and they want to build an image of jewelry design that is no worse than ysons. Well, you just wait. Soon Maple Elite Entertainments PR team will be counterattacking.] Daisy Zane casually browsed through thements, then scrolled through Facebook.
She found the source. The incident started with a Facebook post from a new ount. The person said the ne design seemed simr to yson Ninevaras style. They made one post. Then, ten minutester, they made another post, saying it still resembled ysons design style, and even tagged Spotlights official website. Spotlights official side didnt respond, but a staff member from Spotlight quickly spoke up. They postedparison photos and showed their work ID. Actually, Daisy clicked on their Facebook, they had over 5,000 fans. Their Facebook posts were all rted to Spotlight. It was evident that they were a staff member of Spotlight. The evidence seemed incontrovertible. However, there was still no news from the official side of Spotlight. Daisy gave Olivia the phone back, ncing at Kevin rk talking with Theodore North and Calvin Stewart.
Brother Nine, how do we resolve this? Robinson Scott asked leisurely. Wait for the official site to rify. This matter was simple C once Spotlight cleared things up, it would be fine. Just like that? Allonzo Hobson, who had just arrived, heard her question. I didnt let them turn off the screens; Ive informed the media. Why not resolve it on-site? Daisy shook her head. Today was Phoebe Turners birthday, and it was Hobson Familys home field. She preferred to resolve the issue quietly. But some people didnt want her to resolve it quietly. As her earrings hadnt stopped shaking from her heads movement, a sudden voice burst into their small group. Lady Zane sure knows how to steal the spotlight, even disrupting others birthdays. Everyone looked over, and Mrs. Maxwell and ra Mitchell were standing at the side. Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly after spotting them. These two one could be considered an irreconcble enemy. She had sent Bonnie Maxwell to Mountain Sea Continent Prison, and Kevin rk had beaten George Maxwell
The other one could be considered the leader of her haters. Putting these two together, theyd probably want to kill her. As soon as Mrs. Maxwell spoke, the reluctant onlookers immediately looked over. Now, they were shamelessly enjoying the drama. Seeing theming, Kevin rk left Theo and his wife and joined Daisys side. William Lane looked at her: Mrs. Maxwell is quite good at catching attention too, and quite idle C she flocks to wherever theres amotion. Mm? Robinson Scott whispered to Daisy, Is William Lane really that sarcastic? Daisy raised the corner of her mouth: Its gic, I guess. Robinson Scott:? Mrs. Maxwells sense of propriety was intact until she saw Kevin rk. When she saw him, the knives in her eyes seemed ready to fly out, and she even forgot what William Lane said. In the end, she couldnt maintain her politeness. Ive lived for so many years, and this is the first time Ive seen someone who copied others works at such a high-level banquet. Its really novel. Mrs. Maxwell tore the facade, not caring about anything. Nowadays, what kind of people can enter? Kevin rk looked at her, asking in a low voice: What kind of people are we, the rk Family? William Lane frowned: Olivia Lane pursed her lips, thinking, who belongs to your family? Chapter 479: 422 Clayson Ninevara Chapter 479: Chapter 422 yson Ninevara As Arthur North started to speak, Hugo rk and Hardy rk approached him from behind.
They stood with their backs towards Theo rk and Calvin Stewart, avoiding a direct confrontation between the couple. Arthur North had just told them not to get involved and to watch from the sidelines. After all, this was a personal matter between him and the Maxwell family. He didnt want any part of the rk Familys shares, fully embracing the idea of being independent from the family. At the banquet scene, many people didnt know Arthur North, but they were aware of his rtionship with Daisy Zane. Not only had they been photographed together, but many from the drama crew knew that Arthur had visited the set.
They knew Arthur North was not ordinary, as the director had always greeted him with a smile. But they never expected him to be this influential. So, when they heard the words rk Family, a gasp went through the crowd. Though everyone tried to contain their surprise, themotion was still noticeable in the scene. Third Master, I think you should get to know Lady Zane first before deciding if she should be treated as family. Jessica Maxwell suddenly whispered. Why are you everywhere? Olivia Lane retorted. Jessica furrowed her brows and shot back: Why are you everywhere?! This is my Olivia snapped back but was interrupted by William Lane pushing her head down and holding her behind him, saying Behave. She fell silent. Mrs. Maxwell said, Third Master, as an outsider, its not right for us to say too much. Then dont say anything. Arthur North replied. Daisy Zanes mouth twitched slightly.
Noticing her urge tough, Arthur gently squeezed her hand. William Lane observed their subtle interaction, finding it quite numerous. Mrs. Maxwell felt even more furious after being silenced. Chin raised, she said harshly, Choosing a wife should be done carefully. A woman like her will only ruin your reputation. giarizing someone elses work, what kind of decent person would do that? giarized work? Where is the evidence? Arthur Norths voice was light and cold, terrifying to hear. Besides marrying her would be the rk Familys honor, my honor. Both William Lane and Olivia Lane turned to look at Arthur North. As if it was just an ordinary statement, he didnt show any particr emotion. If anything, he seemed to be suppressing the urge to strangle the person in front of him. Mrs. Maxwell didnt expect Arthur North to say this. She pointed to the screen and said, The evidence is right there. The staff of Spotlight came forward to testify. What other evidence do we need? The ne in the design draft is exactly the same. At her words, everyone started whispering amongst themselves. Most agreed that Daisy Zane would not be able to escape this time, as the matter seemed set in stone. Spotlight staff even released the photos. Amelia Miles stood at the edge of the crowd, sipping from her wine ss. She set it aside and pushed through the gathering.
Madam, there must be some misunderstanding. Amelia made her way into the crowd, addressing Mrs. Maxwell, My older sister is not that kind of person. No one spoke when she appeared, as they were all waiting to see what she might do next. Taking advantage of the silence, Amelia smoothly moved closer to Williams Lane, insisting, I trust that my sister would never do such a thing. Is your trust evidence? Mrs. Maxwell asked in response. Soon, Amelia Miles and Mrs. Maxwell were going head-to-head. Allonzo Hobson handed Robinson Scott a fruit juice. Robinson took the juice before looking at Allonzo: Wheres the wine? Fruit juice goes better with watching a spectacle, Allonzo said, Wine gets you drunk too easily. Robinson paused and tacitly epted Allonzos words, taking a sip of the fruit juice. Then they continued watching. Today, Mr. Baker is also here, Amelia Miles said, We can ask him face to face, and everything will be clear. Why does thisdy have to be so aggressive? Amelia Miles now hopes that they could quickly call Felix Baker over and establish that Daisy Zane giarized.
She had seen the design sketch at her brothers ce. It was yson Ninevaras design sketch. Daisy Zane could not escape giarism charges. Daisy Zane immediately understood Amelias intention after hearing her words. She called Felix Baker over, not to help but to use her faster and make her lose her reputation. What would calling Felix Baker over change? Her giarism is still giarism! Mrs. Maxwell protested excitedly, Now, if you want to protect her, you have to admit that the ne on Best Actress Turners neck was not designed by her. The Hobson Canal couple and the Turner couple were standing at the back of the crowd and could hear her words. Phoebe Turner med herself repeatedly, saying, Its all my fault. I shouldnt have mentioned Lucia. Calvin Stewartforted her: Dont worry. Xavier and Third Brother have a solution. Daisy Zane nced at Amelia Miles, who was standing beside William Lane. People who didnt know might think they had a close rtionship. Her gaze moved from Amelias face to Mrs. Maxwells, and she said softly, Why do I need to deny something I designed myself?
So, you admit you giarized? Jessica Maxwell asked. Yourprehension still needs more reading, Daisy Zane said, looking at Mrs. Maxwell with a faint gaze that was also oppressive, The work is my design and the design sketch is mine too. Do you understand now? Everyone was taken aback. Even the onlookers were stunned; they could understand each word Daisy Zane said, but somehow, they couldnt understand the sentence as a whole. Mrs. Maxwell hesitated for a moment before saying, What a joke! The staff at Spotlight has clearly stated that the design sketch was drawn years ago by a yson Ninevara designer. Are you treating us as idiots or illiterates? Daisy Zane and Harton rks hands were intertwined, and she turned the ring on Hartons finger, signaling him that she would handle this herself: Call yourself an idiot or an illiterate, but dont involve others. Olivia Lane, who was standing behind William Lane, couldnt help butugh. Stop quibbling! The truth is right in front of us. Can you deny it with just a few words? Mrs. Maxwell became increasingly agitated and vicious, The work is yours, the design sketch is yours? What does that mean? Are you saying that yson Ninevara giarized you? Daisy Zane: If you insist on saying that, its not impossible. All attendees: It was chaos in the banquet hall. Lily Parker had a puzzled face.
The insiders remained indifferent. Mrs. Maxwell just heard the biggest joke, yson Ninevara giarized you? Are you worthy? yson Ninevara had giarized? Why dont you sue them for giarism. Who spread the rumors about my Chief Designer giarizing? Felix Bakers voice was loud, just following Mrs. Maxwells statement, and it was getting closer, his footsteps hurried. Joseph Allen finally brought him back Felix Baker entered the crowd, and Joseph Allen stood outside the crowd. As soon as Felix Baker arrived, everyones interested expressions became even more excited. It was as if they were saying. The gossip is feeding me, forcing me to eat it. Amelia Miles saw Felix Baker, her mouth corners were almost imperceptible. Mrs. Maxwell seemed to see her savior, Mr. Baker, its her. She giarized yson Ninevaras work. And she even said they giarized her. Felix Baker and Joseph Allen had figured out the situation on their way here, so when he looked at Mrs. Maxwell, he realized she must have had a grudge against yson Ninevara. Otherwise, she wouldnt be clinging to this in such an event. Then he looked at Daisy Zane, his face showing difficulty, he hesitated and said, Daisy, Im not trying to hide your identity, but the trouble is too much. Look, its not just about saying youre a virtual person anymore. Now the trouble ising to you. Daisy Zane: Everyone is confused, but why cant they understand? What is this bizarre statement? As everyone was puzzled, Felix Baker stood next to Daisy Zane, straightened his expression, and said, Since were talking about this and today is the birthday of our global spokesperson, Ill take this opportunity to introduce her to everyone. Daisy Zane, my Chief Designer at Spotlight, yson Ninevara. Chapter 480: 423: Too Annoying Chapter 480: Chapter 423: Too Annoying The onlookers at the scene suddenly felt that maybe they should read more books and that maybe theirprehension abilities had problems.
Howe they couldnt understand several consecutive sentences? Didnt mom say that Daisy is the Chief Designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts? Calvin Stewart mumbled, Did I hear it wrong back then? Theo rk pressed his lips together and said nothing. What kind of a person did their Third Brother marry after all? With the rk Familys social status were they really worthy of her? Wouldnt she be wronged?
Its Shopie Easton, and also yson Ninevara. Joseph Allen stood not far from them, hearing their conversation, he drew closer, and whispered. Calvin Stewart stared nkly at Daisy Zane. Phoebe Turner and George Hobson were also shocked. What? What did they hear? What does it mean to be both Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts and yson Ninevara? How is Sienna Perry involved? What did Felix Baker just say? What did Joseph Allen just say? Did someone just speak? Except for the insiders, everyone else was confused. But even though they were confused, they all looked at Daisy Zane for the first time. Amelia Miles tightly clenched her hands hanging by her side, struggling to calm her breathing, adjusting her emotions, not letting herself lose control. She pursed her lips tightly, and it took her quite a while to quietly swallow and slowly exhale. Why is it always her?
Why is it her for everything? Why? Mrs. Maxwell and Jessica Maxwell were both silent. Amidst their silence, even the quiet and melodious piano music seemed to have vanished. Seeing this scene, Felix Baker jokingly said, Everyones reaction it seems our Chief is still more well-known than me. Good that you know. Kevin rk said. Felix Baker: Mrs. Maxwells dumbfounded eyes finally moved, slowly focusing on Daisy Zane and then she said, How could it be possible? How could she be yson Ninevara? Why isnt it possible? Felix Baker frowned and said, Why not possible? You, you guys Mrs. Maxwell looked at Felix Baker and then at Daisy Zane, You guys What? Dont get me involved. Felix Baker quickly said, She is her, I am me, dont say we. I am the Founder of Spotlight, she is the Chief Designer of Spotlight. Our rtionship is purely cooperative. Dont implicate me. Daisy Zane:
Kevin rk: Was he that jealous? Its impossible, impossible Mrs. Maxwell still couldnt believe it, or rather, she didnt want to believe it. Stop saying its impossible, its so possible. Felix Baker said, The ne and earrings that Best Actress Turner is wearing are the new products to beunched this year. They are from yson Ninevaras hands. There will be a new series of products at the press conference next month. Otherwise Felix Baker smiled, his eyes shone with frost: Who do you think would dare to touch Spotlights new products? Mrs. Maxwell stopped talking immediately. Seeing her not talking, Felix Baker shifted his gaze away from her and looked at the crowd, saying, Only my assistant and I have seen yson Ninevara in Spotlights internal department. The staff member online did not know about it, so she posted the news online. There was no need for him to exin too much about the internal matters of Spotlight. If someone giarizes, its only right to testify. However, as an employee of Spotlight, she didnt inform thepany in time after the incident, and she was still shaking thepanys name outside. This matter needed to be addressed with her when Felix Baker returned. Everyone seemed to understand after hearing his words. When everyone thought the matter was settled, Daisy Zane suddenly made a move. She walked two steps towards Mrs. Maxwell. Everyones gaze immediately followed her, and their hearts were ignited to gossip again.
What is she doing? Why did she go over there? To fight? A few people behind them whispered in low voices. It wouldnt be too much to hit her, just listen to what she said earlier, I got angry just listening to it. But isnt it bad to tantly hit someone? Whats wrong with that? Thats Kevin rks wife, Mrs. rk, the rk familys people. Whats wrong with hitting someone? As long as the rk family doesnt want to, this news wont spread from here. Daisy Zane wouldnt actually hit anyone, after all, this was Phoebe Turners birthday party. It had already turned into this chaos because of her. She wouldnt make any more moves. She walked up to Mrs. Maxwell, looked at her indifferently, and said, Thank you, Mrs. Maxwell, for defending me. I didnt expect that yson Ninevara held such an important ce in Mrs. Maxwells heart that you were so agitated to defend me. Hearing her cold voice, Mrs. Maxwells pupils trembled with anger. You can even clearly see that her lips are trembling, and a thinyer of sweat appears on her face in an instant, she was truly angered. Everyone: A few people behind the crowd started whispering again: My god, it would have been better to just beat her; look how angry she is. This is too aggravating. If it were me, I would have been fainted by now.
Cant mess with it, cant mess with it. Mrs. Maxwell clearly targeted her because of some other thing, but she ims she was defending her. If it were me, I would have vomited blood on the spot; shes purely disgusting. What could be more infuriating than making a fuss about defending an enemy. I bet this madam wont be able to sleep for a month. Kevin rk stood next to Daisy Zane, without any disguise, andughed very deliberately. Robinson Scott blinked his eyes, thinking to himself. I was wrong, the most damaging person is still her Brother Nine. At that time, Mrs. Maxwell will definitely be invited to attend Spotlights new productunch. Daisy added. Mrs. Maxwell just turned around and left. Jessica Maxwell followed suit. As soon as they left, Allonzo Hobson immediately put away his curiosity and came out to host the banquet, putting a beautiful end to the farce. At the same time, the screens content changed once again to Phoebe Turners photo. The banquet continued, Phoebe Turner and Daisy Zane exchanged a few words, apologized to her, and then went to entertain the guests.
Seeing nothing else was going on, Theo and Hugo rk greeted Daisy before heading back to the upper floor. Felix Baker chatted with a few people and then returned to Spotlight. The remaining people were standing in ce. No, howe you all reacted so calmly? Hardy rk was surprised, only to discover that the others were all quite calm. They all looked at her. Hardy rk understood: So, Im the only one who didnt know? The others responded with their silence. So, you guys were in the know and didnt tell me and let me worry all by myself. Kevin rk said ruthlessly: There always has to be someone worrying. Hardy rk didnt dare to refute him. She looked at them one by one, only to realize that her brother was the one she couldnt fight with, so she punched Hugo rk. Hugo rk: Sister The groupughed and suddenly looked at Amelia Miles. Seeing everyone looking at her, Amelia Miles pursed her lips, looking at Daisy Zane, and cautiously said, Sister, I want to have a private chat with you, can I? Daisy Zane looked at her without saying a word. Kevin rk frowned, about to speak, when Olivia Lane suddenly rushed in front of Daisy Zane, standing between her and Amelia Miles. Olivia Lane red at her: Who are you calling sister? Who is your sister? Dont mess with family. Whats there to talk about? Whats so good to talk about? Daisy Zane was taken aback for a moment, and then she bowed her head andughed. Amelia Miles was dumbfounded by her series of words, and she didnt dare to do anything to Olivia Lane, so she could only endure it and say, I But Olivia Lane didnt give her a chance to speak, and turned around and took Daisy Zanes hand, leading her away. Kevin rk: Kevin rk followed along. Olivia Lane led Daisy Zane about six or seven meters away, then let go of Daisy Zane, walked back angrily, and dragged William Lane away. Throughout the entire process, she acted as if she hadnt seen Amelia Miles. Ameliewhat happened? asked Hardy rk. Hugo rk remained silent, looking at Olivia Lane, thinking to himself, Wow, why didnt she take him away too? What if Amelia Miles had taken a fancy to him as well? With this thought, Hugo rk and Hardy rk also left. Now only Robinson Scott and Amelia Miles were left standing together. Amelia Miles stood there for a while, unable to react. She initially thought that everything would go smoothly, but she didnt expect that none of her ns would work. Robinson Scott looked at her, smiled for a moment, and said, Who have you taken a fancy to? William Lane? So, you pretended to be a good person in front of him? Feigned friendliness? Amelia Miles looked at him, her eyes full of malice: Who are you? Its not your turn to talk nonsense. Robinson Scottughed again, looked Amelia up and down, and said: Its good to have self-confidence, but dont overdo it. Peoplenoxious in appearance do get extra points, but if your heart is ckdont expect heaven to treat you kindly. After saying that, Robinson Scott left. Only Amelia Miles was left standing there, her eyes full of venom as she looked in Daisy Zanes direction. Chapter 481: 424 319 (ii) Chapter 481: Chapter 424 319 (ii) The little interlude just now did not affect the banquet.
The banquet continued, and William Lane was called away by his father. Daisy Zane and the others did not leave either, still casually chatting in the rest area. The news released by Spotlights official website was fast. Simply put, Daisy Zane is yson Ninevara. The work was originally Daisys, and there was no question of giarism. Moreover, they also spoke up for Phoebe Turner, telling everyone that what Phoebe was wearing was indeed Spotlights jewelry.
It was an unreleased new product. Only one set of such jewelry was avable worldwide. As their spokesperson, she had the privilege. The rificationpletely favored Phoebe Turner. As soon as the news came out, peoples reactions online and at the banquet scene were almost the same. They were very stunned, very surprised. Even someizens stuttered and couldnt say anything nutritious for five minutes. The Facebook post from Spotlights official website was filled with exmation marks and question marks. Then, exmation marks and question marks soon became a trending topic. Not long after Spotlights official website released the news, Felix Baker called Daisy Zane to inform her of the situation regarding the staff member at thepany. The staff member had received a message from a stranger asking her to look at Phoebe Turners Facebook page. Then she found the design draft they had taken before and posted it online. After all, thepany dared to bring out the design draft to show them, which meant they were prepared and wouldnt let others use it for giarism.
So she confidently posted the design draft on Facebook, along with aparison chart. As she was in apetitive promotion phase at the time, She was eager to make a name for herself in thepany to seize a promotion opportunity. She didnt notify thepany beforehand and took it upon herself to release the news online. She intended to use her wits to curry favor with thepanyter, but it backfired. Felix Baker briefed her on the situation at thepany and asked her how she wanted to handle it. Do what needs to be done, Daisy Zane said, I have no objection. Deduct her sry and observe her in thepany, is that okay? Felix Baker asked, Her work ability is not bad. Plus, she is raising a child by herself. If I fire her I guess two monthster, her child will have no milk powder to eat. I said, I have no objection, Daisy Zane said. After all, she only pointed out that the work and design draft were highly simr, which could be confirmed as giarism. First, she didnt intentionally get others to scold her. Secondly, she didnt intentionally target her. For Daisy, who was unaware of the situation, she was only stating a fact she believed to be true on the inte. And it was a stranger who approached her, so she could be considered unlucky.
At most, she vited thepanys internal procedures. That was a matter of Spotlights internal management, and Daisy didnt want to meddle. Send me the contact details of the stranger who contacted her, Daisy Zane said. Okay, Felix Baker said, She has a wide range of contacts. Shes been following up on training designers as well, so many people know shes seen your design drafts. Sigh, she was originally meant for promotion, only if she wasnt in such a hurry. Now its all gone. Daisy Zane hung up the phone, and saw that Olivia Lane was looking at her phone andughing. She raised her hand and gently tapped Olivias head, What are youughing at? Olivia Lane immediately showed Daisy her phone. It was the ss group from Senior Three ss Sixteen. They were talking about the bracelet she sent before the college entrance exam. [Oh my god! yson Ninevara! yson Ninevara! I have a bracelet designed by yson Ninevara himself especially for me!] [I always wondered why I felt like I did so well on the exam. Turns out, I had a buff bonus.] [This is enough to brag about for a lifetime, right?]
[Gosh, the jadeite alone is valuable enough, but its also made by yson.] [I never even dared to dream that yson would design something for me.] [My mom said Ive had some luck; my grades skyrocketed, and I even received a bracelet designed by yson.] [Its already considered a family heirloom.] [Funny, my family heirloom is the same as your family heirloom.] [Many yearster, a young couple looked at the same heirloom in their hands, crying their eyes out, only to call each other siblings.] [What a dog-blooded love story.] After reading it, Daisy Zanemented, Why are they all so gossipy? Amelie Quentin squeezed next to Daisy Zane, her head leaning directly on Daisys shoulder, You almost send study materials to the ss every month, everyone studies hard all day. Finally, the exams are over. Now, if anyone has some extra sweat on their body online, they cant wait to pay attention to it. Daisy Zane smiled and handed the phone back to Amelie Quentin. But Amelie Quentin, leaning on her shoulder, didnt move and instead continued ying with her phone.
And Daisy Zane let her be. Robinson Scott blinked, did his Ninth Brother have such a long touch permission? Kevin rk also nced at the increasingly sticky Amelie Quentin and felt a bit suffocated. He felt that the whole world was trying to steal his wife. Third Master, Lady Zane. The Lobby Manager of Doomsday Hotel suddenly came over. Whats up? Kevin rk asked. Amelie Quentin also straightened up. Theres an express delivery from outside, they have something to hand over to Lady Zane. The manager respectfully said. Daisy Zanes eyebrows moved slightly, Let me have a look. Kevin rk stood up with her, Together. The two followed the manager to the grand hall, and Amelie Quentin, Hugo rk, and others followed them as well. What are you doing? Kevin rk asked with disgust.
Joining in the fun. Robinson Scott replied. Hardy rk and Amelie Quentin both nodded. Hugo rk said, I follow automatically. Following who? Kevin rk suddenly asked him. Hugo rks eyshes trembled, and he subconsciously nced at Amelie Quentin. Amelie Quentin was sending a message and didnt notice. But Kevin rk saw it. He raised his eyebrows and met Daisy Zanes eyes when he looked back. Kevin rk felt a murderous aura. Daisy Zane didnt say anything and looked away. When they arrived at the grand hall, Kevin rk took the package, and Daisy Zane nced at the delivery guy. After delivering the package, the delivery guy left. Kevin rk checked the express order, and the shipping address was for another hotel. What is it? Robinson Scott asked, Is it safe? Kevin rk held it in his hand, With this weight its definitely not a bomb. Robinson Scott: I hope its not something sent by the fans. Hardy rk said, They know auntie is attending a birthday banquet here. Amelie Quentin furrowed her brow, Who dares to send it here? Daisy Zane: Lets open it. The lobby manager found a small knife used to open express boxes, and Kevin rk directly opened the box at the front desk. Like a box of Russian dolls, there was anotheryer inside when oneyer was opened, and then another. Daisy Zane suspected that someone was messing with her. Finally, after thest box was opened, there was a ck stic bag wrapped in bubble wrap, with ayer of tape wrapped around the outside. Hugo rk, fearing something inappropriate inside, shielded Hardy rk and Amelie Quentin with his body. Then two little heads appeared on either side of Hugo rk, covering their eyes, scared yet curious. Kevin rk used the knife to cut open the stic bag and bubble wrap directly. Finally, the contents inside were revealed. A sealed bag with three sealing bottles inside. Kevin rk immediately took them out to look, and through the sealed bag, everyone clearly saw the words on the sealing bottles: 319 (ii). Chapter 482: 425: Courier Chapter 482: Chapter 425: Courier Upon recognizing the object, Daisy Zane exchanged a nce with Arthur North.
Arthur North said, The courier hasnt gone far. Daisy Zane immediately looked at Amelie Quentin: Amelie, have the people from the Doomsday Hotel pursue the courier. As they came here to attend the birthday banquet, they arrived on their own, without any attendants. They can only rely on the staff at the Doomsday Hotel for assistance. Amelie Quentin promptly responded, Okay, without asking anything else. Daisy Zane then looked at the lobby manager, Get me aputer.
The lobby manager immediately brought aputer to Daisy Zane. With the lobby manager watching, Daisy Zane hacked into the Doomsday Hotels system. The hotel lobby manager immediately broke into a cold sweat, wiping his forehead nervously. Since theputer was given out by him, he wondered if he would be held ountable for this. Even though Third Master rk was on good terms with their young master, surely their rtionship wasnt this deep. Daisy Zane hacked the surveince system of the Doomsday Hotel, captured a clear image of the couriers face, and immediately sent it to Amelie Quentin. Then she hacked all the nearby surveince systems within range of the Doomsday Hotel. She located the figure of the courier. Robinson Scott. Present. Robinson Scott promptly replied. You As Daisy Zane turned her head and noticed Scott was wearing a skirt and high heels, she swallowed her words. Hugo rk and I will go. Arthur North spoke while calling Daisy Zanes cell phone, Keep the line open and guide us.
Okay. Arthur North and Hugo rk left immediately. Im fine, Ill go too. Robinson Scott said, stepping forward. Come back. Daisy Zane called her back, Let them go. Robinson Scott immediately turned back. A substance like 319 certainly couldnt be shipped via courier because it would be detected during security checks. Therefore, there was only one possibility, the courier was an imposter. Moreover, the package had been wrappedyer uponyer, likely to buy more time. The courier left the Doomsday Hotel, crossed the main road, and went to Gourmet Street on the other side. The streets within the Gourmet Street were like abyrinth, but the courier was still within the surveince range. Daisy Zane watched Arthur North and Hugo rk on the surveince feed. The two men were faster than the Lane familys personnel. They could certainly catch the courier within three minutes. But thenthe courier turned into another street and disappeared from the surveince footage at the end of the road. Both Robinson Scott and Lily Parker frowned at this, but remained quiet.
Daisy Zane immediately reported the spot where the courier disappeared to Arthur North. Then she pulled up a map of Gourmet Street, quickly familiarizing herself with all the streets in the area. She gave directions to Arthur North and Hugo rk, Split up, enter from the ninth street, one from the east, one from the west, and surround the area. Arthur North responded affirmatively. When William Lane arrived, he saw Daisy Zane, Lily Parker, Robinson Scott, and the lobby manager huddled around aputer at the reception desk. What happened? William Lane asked. Daisy Zane nced at him without responding, but handed him the rewrapped substance 319 (ii). William Lane quickly looked inside, then resealed the bag, and turned towards the lobby manager. The lobby manager was sweating profusely. He didnt know what was in the parcel, but he summarized the chain of events for William Lane. When it came to Daisy Zane hacking the Doomsday Hotels system, his voice quivered. This situation couldnt be fixed just by firing him; he could also be legally held ountable. However, after hearing everything, William Lane remained unfazed and turned his attention to theputer.
The surveince-free zone was notrge. Daisy Zane started to browse the surveince cameras around that area. If the courier emerged from that area, he must pass through those ces. However, due to therge crowd, and the evening darkness affecting visibility, it was impossible to identify faces. Identification would have to be made based on body shape and walking posture. Arthur North.. Didnt find the person. Arthur North replied. Daisy Zane heard the sound of the wind in her cell phone and Arthur Norths faint gasping, Where are the clothes? The couriers clothes. There was no one dressed as a courier in the surveince footage from any of the exits. The courier walked into the unmonitored area in his uniform, likely removing and discarding it somewhere before exiting. No sign of it, said Arthur North. This street has too many stores and too many people. He probably hid in one of them. Daisy Zanes finger tapped on theputer: Let the personnel from the Doomsday Hotel keep an eye out in the vicinity, you guyse back first. Without a search warrant, its illegal to search through all these stores on our own. Arthur North remained silent for a moment before responding, Okay. Right after him, William Lane immediately called to arrange undercover guards.
After the banquet ended, the group settled in the tea room on the upper floor of the Doomsday Hotel. Both Arthur North and Hugo rk had removed their suit jackets, dropped their ties, and unbuttoned one button from their shirts as they rolled up their sleeves. Lily Parker brewed and poured tea for them. Holding her teacup, Daisy Zane said, The other party doesnt seem to have any malice, just like the man who handed out the note in Continent Ast time. If he means no harm, why doesnt he show up? Allonzo Hobson, having finished with the banquet, had just arrived and was filled in, This hiding. Daisy Zane, too, couldnt make any sense of this neither. Have the surveince footage from inside the stores been checked? Asked Hugo rk. Daisy Zane nodded, More than half of the stores on that street dont have surveince cameras. Weve checked all that do, but theres no useful information. If he had the audacity to deliver here, hes prepared not to be found. William Lane said, The folks from the Doomsday Hotel will be on the lookout. Well just have to wait for news. Daisy Zane nodded again. Arthur North said, If the elixir delivered to us this time is real, that means theres another batch of new elixir, and theyre likely still experimenting. Everyone suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Allonzo Hobson cursed.
Neither domestically nor in any other continent, 319 (ii) has been detected at present. Daisy Zane said, So it should not have been used in experiments yet. Report it, and continue to strengthen defenses. Arthur Northmanded, Well intensify our own territory, and report the rest to higher-ups. Both Hugo rk, and Allonzo Hobson agreed. Daisy Zane stared down at the color of the tea in her cup, not saying a word. Arthur North reached out and squeezed the back of her neck, then said, Alright, lets all head back, its gettingte. Oh, right. William Lane suddenly said, The hacker who tampered with the equipment in the ck Banquet Hall has been caught. Allonzo Hobson: That fast? My father did it himself. William Lane put a cell phone sealed in a bag on the tea table. Daisy Zane looked at William Lane. Allonzo Hobson was surprised, Uncle Lane actually took action himself. Wow, I actually witnessed Uncle Lane in action. William Laneughed a little and then said, ording to that hacker, he found the cell phone that had been in contact with him. Arthur North nced at the cell phone, guessing what William Lane might say next. But I only found this cell phone. William Lane said, Its a new phone, with a ck card. Apart from posting on Facebook, the phone had contact with the staff at the Spotlight and the hacker, but theres no other content. No location information was found either. It had probably been switched off until today. Olivia Lane blinked her eyes, So cautious? Daisy Zane asked, Where was the cell phone found? In a trash can across the street from Doomsday Hotel. Allonzo Hobson: Are there cameras that caught the trash can? There are, but the people throwing out the trash are strangers. William Lane said, No one was seen throwing out a cellphone. Daisy Zane took out her cell phone and dialed Felix Bakers number. The cell phone in the seal bag on the tea table rang almost immediately. After one ring, Daisy Zane hung up. Confirmed that this was the cell phone that had contacted the staff at Spotlight. Daisy Zane said in a low voice: Just throwing away trash, mixed in with other garbage. It could be thrown away by sanitation workers, or anyone willing to help. Indeed. Could it be Amelia Miles? Olivia Lane suddenly suggested. Daisy Zane looked at her and said, My girl, without evidence, dont suspect people. Olivia Lane pursed her lips, ok. Seeing how obedient she was, Daisy Zane smiled and then, No matter who it is, theyll slip up eventually. Chapter 483: 426: Car Accident Chapter 483: Chapter 426: Car ident Because they were busy at the 319 (ii) Research Institute for several days.
After confirming it was rted to the new 319 elixir, Daisy Zane sneaked out to find the Dean while Kevin rk was busy downstairs in the Laboratory. In the Deans office, the two chatted for a while, and Ezekiel Santiago said, Nicholson, this is very dangerous for you. For both industrial and personal reasons, I dont want you to take this risk. There will be no danger, Daisy Zane said calmly. What if? Ezekiel asked back, Now its not just Edward Kirstens power, but also the meddling from the M Continent. This method is the fastest, Daisy Zane did not answer him, but said, The emergence of 319 (ii) means that there will be a batch of experiments in progress. We dont have that much time. Ezekiel looked at her without speaking.
Im in Imperial Capital, they cant take me away, Daisy Zane said. Kevin wont agree. Thats why dont tell him, Daisy Zane said, He doesnt know I came today. Ezekiel: I remember that many things in the Research Institute dont require their permission, Daisy Zane looked at Ezekiel Santiago. Ezekiel didnt speak. Daisy Zane paused, raised her eyebrows, and said, Afraid that Kevin rk wille looking for you. Ezekiel still didnt speak, but this time it seemed like he had acquiesced. Daisy Zane raised the corner of her mouth and said, Lets treat it as my way of repaying you for helping me ask for leavest time. I can help you block people. Ezekiel was still silent, and after a while, he said, You go back first, and Ill think about it. Daisy Zane knew that the matter was 80% certain, so she didnt stay long and returned to the experiment. When she arrived at the entrance of the Experimental Tower, she happened to run into William Lane leaving.
When William Lane saw her, he immediately smiled and asked, Where have you been? Daisy Zane put on a serious face and lied, I saw a friend at the entrance You left early. The smile on William Lanes face deepened, Im free for now. Amelie and my parents went to the M Continent for a few days and returned today. Im going to the Airport to pick her up. Shesing back by herself? Yes. There was a dance exchange meeting in M Continent, and my parents still have to stay there for half a month, exined William Lane, Amelie went with them to y for two days but got bored and came back. Moreover, the results will be released in a few days. A top scorer (valedictorian) is about to appear in your family, Daisy Zane said. William Lane looked at her for a while and softly called out, L. Hearing the two words, Daisy Zanes eyshes trembled slightly, looking at him and asking, Whats the matter? William Lane saw her ept it and sighed in relief, After my parentse back go home and take a look. Daisy Zanes hand caressed the pocket of her whiteb coat for a moment, and she was silent for a while before responding, Okay. William Lane gave a gentle smile, raised his hand, and stroked her hair, Go inside. When Daisy Zane entered the Experimental Tower, William Lane turned around and walked towards the entrance.
And at the moment, Young Master Lanes stride was a little crooked. He walked indifferently for a while but couldnt helpughing out softly. His sister was going home. His sister was going home. His sister agreed to go home. Daisy Zane returned to theboratory, and an hourter, she identally broke the beaker while cleaning it. Then Daisy Zane ended todays experiment and went to Celestial Pivot. Holt Lawrence called her a few days ago, saying there was a batch of system tests at the Celestial Pivot and asked her to help. Actually, remote testing would have been fine. Its just that testing, modifying, attacking, and repairing were time-consuming processes, which were repeated several times. So, she didnt have time to test these days.
Since she was free today, she sent Kevin a message and went straight to the Celestial Pivot. Testing was easy for Daisy Zane; she was in charge of the attacks, and the Celestial Pivot staff were responsible for the repairs. In fact, this so-called system test was just camouged assessment and training. In the past, this was Holts responsibility. But since Nathan Ninevara took action, Holt invited her toe. Daisy Zane just needed to move her fingers to attack, and the Celestial Pivot staff then spent who knows how much time repairing. And this processsted from noon until one oclock in the morning. Daisy Zane sent Kevin a message telling him she wouldnt be back that night and would stay at the Celestial Pivot. Kevin might have been busy in theboratory and replied after about ten minutes. Daisy Zane didnt think much about it, and after the test at one oclock in the morning, she further strengthened the defense system of the Celestial Pivot before going to the Vi in the backyard. The vi in the backyard had always reserved a Room for her and was regrly cleaned. However, Daisy Zane hadnt stayed in this Room for over two years.
She didnt know whether it was the unfamiliarity from not staying here for a long time or something else, but Daisy Zane didnt sleep well that night. Before seven oclock in the morning, she simply got up, washed and rinsed, and nned to return to the Research Institute. As she went downstairs, Holt Lawrence had just returned from the Celestial Pivot Building and was about to go to rest. Seeing her, Holt asked, Awake so early? Im afraid that you, the second-ranked hacker, will harbor murderous thoughts towards me, the first-ranked, Daisy Zaneszy and cold voice clearly indicated that she hadnt slept well. You didnt sleep either? Yeah, Im going to sleep now, Holt Lawrence said, Theres Breakfast on the table. Okay, Daisy Zane replied softly, her eyes downcast as she walked downstairs. Holt went up two steps, suddenly remembering something, and stopped and asked, By the way, Nana, how is William Lane? Daisy Zanes footsteps paused, and she turned and looked at him. Most of the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared instantly, What? William Lane. What happened to him? Daisy Zane frowned and asked. You dont know? Didnt Kevin tell you? The sleepy look on Holts face cleared a bit, He had a car ident yesterday morning. It was quite serious.
Holt said, recalling that Daisy Zane was almost in a closed test at the Celestial Pivot yesterday. Even he only found out about the ident around 3 am. He continued, Williams car was hit by two cars and ended up sandwiched in between, followed by a truck crashing into them too. The driver died on the spot, and it seems William Lane is also in serious condition. However, the news was blocked, so were not clear about the specifics of his condition. Daisy Zanes pupils trembled violently, and her face turned pale in an instant. Nana, are you okay? Whats wrong? Seeing something was off with her, Holt came back down the stairs. Daisy Zane swallowed tightly and looked at Holt, her voice hoarse, Give me a car key. Hurry up. Where are you going? Ill take you, Holt worried about her and was concerned about traffic safety on the road today. He feared receiving countless fines. Which hospital is William Lane in? Holt Lawrence said, First Hospital. Take me there. Okay. Chapter 484: 427: Oscar Turner Chapter 484: Chapter 427: Oscar Turner At the First Hospital, Kevin rk, Allonzo Hobson, and Hugo rk had been keeping vigil outside the ICU since afternoon and throughout the night.
William Lane had been rushed to the Intensive Care Unit following a terrible car ident that was deliberately targeting their vehicle. William had desperately covered Olivia, but the deformed car door had squeezed and pierced through his back. A sharp metal fragment from the car door had gone straight through his body, very close to his heart. It entered his back and came out of his chest, barely missing Olivia. Now, even the doctors couldnt say if he could pull through. Olivia had been protected by William, but she had also hit her head. She was unconscious due to a moderate concussion. Hugo stayed with her for a long time in the ward until the Lane family members arrived. He then went to the ICU area.
Third Master, Young Master Lane, Young Master Hobson, Juan Wright approached them, Oscar Turner has gone to the Lane Family Home. Oscar Turner was the adoptive son of Old Master Lane, but after some incident, he was referred to as a sworn son. Damn! It must have been him! Allonzo Hobson said. Juan Wright replied, The Old Master and Madam have gone to the Lane family home as well. Exhausted from staying up all night, Kevin rks eyes were red, and people around him couldnt bear to look directly at him. He asked, Has anyone gotten in touch with Williams parents? No, Juans voice softened, The M Continent, both the Lane family and the people from Dark Radiance are looking for them, but theres no news yet. So now, all thats left is Old Master Lane, Allonzo Hobson said. Juan, take some people and stay here, Kevin rk instructed. Whatever happens, no one is allowed near Olivias ward. The doctors must be trustworthy; dont let anyone get close to them. Yes, Juan agreed. Kevin rk looked at Allonzo Hobson and Hugo rk. Lets go together, Hugo rk said. Allonzo Hobson added, We may be outsiders, but we can help out for now. William cant wake up to find his home gone. What would we be then if we werent his brothers?
Without saying anything else, Kevin rk walked out while calling Daisy Zane. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson said, You two go ahead; Ill go look after Olivia. Okay. Daisy Zane had just reached the halfway point when Kevin rk called. How are William Lane and Olivia doing? Daisy asked as soon as she picked up the call. There was a moment of silence on Kevin rks end before he replied, Youve heard? How are they? As Holt Lawrence drove, he nced at Daisy Zane. Olivia is unconscious with a moderate concussion, Kevin rk said. As for William hes in the ICU, and its hard to say for now. Daisy Zane immediately clenched her fist tightly and hesitated for a moment before asking, Is there anything you need? I actually want to borrow some of your people, Kevin exined. Williams parents have gone missing in M Continent. Nobody from the Lane family, nor from Dark Radiance, has been able to find them since yesterday.
Daisy swallowed the dry pain in her throat as her white-knuckled grip tightened even more, her bulging neck veins revealing her suppressed emotions. She said in a hoarse voice, Fine. Who did it? It should be Uncle Lanes sworn son, Kevin rk replied. I see, Daisy Zane hung up the call and immediately dialed Gael Easton. As soon as Gael Easton answered, he started rambling, Little stinker, you actually called me Werent you going to block me? Gael, Daisy Zane interrupted his chatter, I need your help to find two people. Huh? The Lane family from Imperial Capital. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, Daisy said. Theyre missing in M Continent. Gael Easton could hear the urgency in her voice and immediately got serious, No problem. Ill find them for you, even if I have to turn the whole M Continent upside down. Ill make sure they return home safely. Dont worry. Alright, Daisy Zane replied. The Lane family, Dark Radiance, and Hundred Demons Pavilion are all searching for them C try not to cause any conflicts. Okay. After the phone call with Gael Easton, Daisy Zane called Logan and asked her to find someone too. Once everything was arranged, she looked outside the car window.
The scenery outside was beautiful, it was June, the green belt was well-trimmed, and the flowers were blooming nicely. However, Daisy Zane couldnt focus on anything. There had never been a moment when the words blood ties and family affection had such a strong impact on her. When they arrived at the hospital, Daisy found out that the hospital had kept the news under wraps, and they couldnt find anyone. She called Kevin rk again, and Juan Wright arranged for someone to pick them up. Daisy Zane and Holt Lawrence went to see Olivia Lane first. As the two entered the room, the woman sitting by the bed immediately looked at them. The woman seemed to be in her fifties, her hair was loosely coiled, and she wore simple, clean clothes. She looked very calm. Except for her red, teary eyes. Upon seeing Daisy Zane, the woman hesitated for a moment, then immediately stood up. The tears that had just subsided welled up again in her eyes. She got up in a panic, walked quickly to Daisy, and looked at her for a while, before tremblingly calling out, L.
As soon as these two words were spoken, the womans tears fell like threaded pearls. Holt Lawrence stood by, feeling something weird must have happened to his ears just now. However, the situation didnt seem like a misunderstanding. Aunt Cruz, Daisy Zane called out to her. Holt Lawrence: Nana knows her? This woman called Nana L? Is his hearing faulty due to old age, or did he experience auditory hallucinations because he didnt sleepst night? He had always known some things about the eldest daughter of the Lane family Nana is from the Lane family Holt Lawrence stared at Daisy Zane dumbfounded. What the hell
Aunt Cruz wanted to reply but couldnt make a sound, so she just nodded continuously. Daisy Zane wiped away her tears with her hand. Aunt Cruz held her hand, looked at her for a while, then led everyone into the ward to Olivias bedside. Daisy Zane looked down at Olivia Lane on the hospital bed. Her forehead was wrapped in gauze, and there was a bruise on her left cheekbone. Her small face and lips were sickly white. Daisy Zane took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became red, What did the doctor say? Mild concussion, Aunt Cruz replied in a hoarse voice, She should wake up tonight or tomorrow. Daisy Zane reached down and touched Olivias face. Aunt Cruz said with heartache, Olivia has never suffered this much in her life. This must be so painful. And Roy Madison Upon mentioning William Lane, Aunt Cruz choked up and couldnt continue. Daisy Zane reached up and squeezed her shoulder, Everything will be fine. Aunt Cruz nodded while wiping her tears. Daisy Zane didnt stay in the ward for long. After talking with Olivia and Aunt Cruz, she left to see William Lane. As soon as they left the ward, Juan Wright came over. Teacher, he greeted. Daisy Zane nodded and then asked, Where did Kevin rk go? She had called Kevin and knew he wasnt at the hospital, but she was in a hurry to get to the hospital and didnt ask him. Third Master and Young Master Lane went to the Lanes home, Juan said, Oscar Turner went to the Lanes home. Hes Old Master Lanes sworn son. Daisy Zanes footsteps halted for a moment, and a fleeting coldness shed in her eyes. She immediately realized Oscars intentions. Then she quickened her steps to the upper floor Chapter 485: 428: Lane Family Daisy Zane looked at William Lane outside the intensive care unit. Inside, he was the only one present, his eyes tightly shut, and there was not a hint of color on his face. The only evidence that he was still alive came from the monitor next to him. Through the ss, Daisy Zane looked at William Lane. She connected fragmented memories bit by bit, putting them together to form aplete recall. Charlotte Lane started remembering things from a very early age. She still remembers some things from when she was about three years old. During that time, William Lane would wake her up every morning. He would carry her to wash and rinse, and even helped herb her hair. At that time, William Lane was only about ten years old. Now looking back, Daisy Zane realized that William Lane, at such a tender age, seemed to have be a father figure. L, would you stop letting Kevin rk carry you all the time? Isnt it okay if your brother carries you? Its good when my brother carries me too. Little L said, But I also want Brother Arthur to carry me.
Then you cannot call him Brother Arthur, you should call him Third Uncle. But he is Brother Arthur. Not long after that conversation, Charlotte Lane could no longer see Kevin rk. During that period, Kevin rk used to visit Old Master Lane of the Lane Family nearly every day. However, Old Master Lanes residence was in the north of the manor house. There was a door in the north that could be arrived at without passing through their living quarters. When the time came, Charlotte Lane would run to the north. But each time, William Lane would coax her in various ways to prevent her from going. This situation continued until she was nine years old, and Kevin rk, who was fifteen at that time, no longer came. During that time, only when Charlotte Lane asionally apanied Old Master Lane to the rk Manor, could she catch a glimpse of Kevin rk. Thinking of this, Daisy Zane let out a smallugh. But the tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Her expression remained mostly unchanged. She lifted her hand to gently wipe the tears off her face. After one more nce at William Lane, she turned and left. Holt Lawrence immediately followed her. Nana Go to the Lane House. Daisy Zane strode away. Holt Lawrence immediately left his perplexing thoughts behind: Okay. As the car started, Daisy Zane made a phone call to Luke. She said only two sentences. Does Oscar Turner know?
In two days, I want his power to disappear from this world. Holt Lawrence swallowed nervously at her words and tried to minimize his presence. The Lane Family Home The reception room was crowded with people.
Old Master Lane sat in the front. On his left sat Mr. & Mrs. rk, Kevin rk, Hugo rk, and Allonzo Hobson among others. The rest of the seats on the right were all upied by people from the Lane family. Oscar Turner sat at the front on the right; the remaining seats were upied by various rtives from the Lane family. The Lane family assets were divided so that Andrew Lanes family held 67%, and the remaining 33% was given to these rtives. Andrew couple held 22%, and then William Lane and his two siblings each held 15%. The Lane family had a lot of rtives; when the 33% shares were divided, not much was left for each family. Everything was between 2% and 5%. Oscar Turner had 6%; it was with this 6% that Old Master Lane severed their ties. Oscar Turners parents were the ones to save Old Master Lanes life. Old Master Lane, out of gratitude, adopted him. But once, Oscar Turner had strayed off the path and nearly caused a loss of life. Because of his actions, Old Master Lane retired early from his position. Later, when Turner showed no signs of improvement, the Lane family gave him 6% of thepanys shares, severed their ties with him in a final act of kindness.
He had no say in the affairs of the Lane Family; his only benefit was the annual dividends from the Lane Familys wealth. But a thankless wolf will inevitably bite the hand that feeds it. Father, today is our familys internal meeting, isnt it inappropriate for so many outsiders to be present? Oscar Turner sat in his seat, addressing Old Master Lane. Old Master Lane, dressed in a traditional Tang suit, his hairpletely white, held a longevity lock in his hands. Clearly, he was not as robust as before, but he remained resolute: When did I ever say that today was our familys internal meeting? And when did I ever announce that we would have a meeting today? Oscar Turnerughed lightly, replying: You never mentioned it, but since everyone is gathered here today, why not now? Did I summon you all? Old Master Lane retorted sternly, If you have no business here, you may all leave. The Lane Family has no intention of entertaining you today. Father, theres no point resisting anymore. Oscar Turner pressed, This meeting must happen now, or if not now, inevitably in the future. With Andrews couples whereabouts unknown and Roy Madisons and Amelie Quentins fate uncertain, shouldnt we start making ns? Kevin rk looked up at him. Old Master Lane tightened his grip on the longevity lock: Oscar Turner, are you threatening me with the lives of my son and daughter-inw? If you perceive it as such, Im not opposed to the idea. Oscar Turner brazenly exposed their confrontation, and then turned to face the man opposite him, saying, Uncle rk, The Lane family is indisposed to entertain outsiders today. But rest assured, Ill personally visit you all once were avable. Oscar Turner, it is not for you to decide who the Lane Family invites or not. Old Master Lane growled under his breath. Father, this house
And what if we do not leave today? Kevin rk cut him off. Oscar Turner turned to look at him, asking, Kevin rk, today concerns the Lane Familys internal affairs. Does the rk Family intend to interfere? When did I say I wanted to interfere? Then for what reason do you bring such arge group here? Rtives from the Lane Family who sat across the room started to raise their voices. Gently rubbing his fingertips, Kevin rk retorted, Then why did you bring along so many people on your return trip? Exactly. Xavier Dominic quipped sarcastically, Arent we just following your example? Everyone present knew clearly that, apart from the Lane Family, outsiders hold no sway in this matter. Despite bringing in arge group, it merely served as temporary intimidation. No hands would be raised. Because these people, whether its Oscar Turner or these rtives, possess real shares of the Lane Familyspany. If outsiders interfere. This matter will immediately escte into a conflict between the rk and Lane Families. Should the rk and Lane families fall out, Imperial Capitals power will immediately swing one way or another. Should the Lane Family face such a situation, it wouldnt just cause a power reshuffle in Imperial Capital. It could deal a severe blow to the Lane Family, even resulting in people adding insult to injury.
Outsiders wouldnt dare to take such risks, be it on a major or minor scale. We must maintain the harmony in Imperial Capital, and we must protect the Lane Familys interests. At this time, even if the rk Family has grievances against Oscar Turner, they should put it aside temporarily. Oscar Turner audaciously showed up precisely because he calcted this move. Considering everyone present, neither the rk nor the Hobson Family were a threat to him. As for the internal matters of the Lane FamilyOld Master Lane hasnt received a single share. He hasntid hands on the Lane venture. Andrew Lane took over the Lane Familys power from Old Master Lanes younger brother. Within the power structure of Imperial Capital, particrly at this crucial point in time, the people who could be fully mobilized by Old Master Lane were limited. Most of the Lane Familys powerAt a time like this, they prioritized their shares. Whoever gains the upper hand within the Lane Family, they would follow. As for who would hold sway over the Lane Family at this juncture, it remains uncertain. The Lane Family had done everything possible to avoid this situation, but it was still unfolding before their eyes. Its not that the Lane Family was doing anything wrong, but rather such circumstances exist in every family. If the rk family if the three rk brothers were at odds, the rk familys predicament would be far worse than the Lane familys current situation. Chapter 486: 429 Cleaning Up the Door Oscar Turner saw that the rks had no intention of leaving, so he directly ignored them. Father, since thats the case, then its fine, said Oscar, let the rks and the Hobsons be our witnesses. Witness what? Old Master Lane said, Oscar, no matter when, its not your turn to make decisions in this family. Father, this is where youre wrong. Oscar took out a contract and gave it to the old master, This is a joint action agreement, and any of us can have a 33% voting right. Old Master Lane looked at him, and although he maintained calm on the surface, he couldnt speak for a while. Kevin rk frowned slightly. They came today to dy things. They couldnt interfere in the Lane familys affairs, but as long as they were sitting here, Oscar couldnt get his way today. At least they wouldnt dare to use force to overturn the Lane family. As long as Old Master Lane didnt give in, Oscar couldnt get the Lane familys seal today. After today
Even if the end result is the worst, at least theres still Olivia Lane. Her injuries were not severe, as long as she woke up, the situation would turn around. The car ident scene was so serious. When boarding the ambnce, William Lane and Olivia Lane were both covered in blood and had fainted. There was still a metal piece from the car door stuck in William Lanes body. The firefighters came and worked with the medical staff to saw the metal piece off the car door. At that time, the situation was chaotic. The metal piece appeared to be stuck in William Lanes heart. And Olivia Lanes body was covered in blood. So Oscar thought that both of them couldnt be saved, so he came over. But he didnt expect that all the blood on Olivia Lane was from William Lane, andpared to him, her injuries were minor. Only 33% Xavier Dominic sneered, Why are you making a fuss about 33%? Whats so special about it? Is there anything else beyond this 33% now? Oscar asked, Do Andrew couples shares have an heir? What he meant was that Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz wouldnt survive. Neither would William Lane and Olivia Lane. Hugo rk narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt the urge to kill. Old Master Lane knew about Olivia Lane and William Lanes situation, but he didnt know about Andrew Lane and his wifes situation. His son, daughter-inw, and grandsons lives were all in danger. Old Master Lane hadnt slept all night. Even after taking medication, his blood pressure didnt decrease, and he could only force himself to stay strong: Who said there isnt? Oscarughed and said, Father, dont force yourself. The hospital has blocked the news, and everyone knows the truth. If there wasnt some irreversible situation, why would they block the news? Old Master Lanes gaze shifted from his face to the longevity lock in his hand.
Oscar continued, Father. You cant rely on Andrews family anymore. Even if you dont agree now, the Lane family will belong to me sooner orter. Dont worry, you raised me, and I will be filial to you. For you, I am the same as Andrew. Are you blind in your heart, or is your head dumb? Tom Wayne couldnt bear it any longer and cursed him, You really think highly of yourself. Oscar nced at him,pletely disregarding his words, and looked back at Old Master Lane, Father. Just give me the seal happily, and we will all be happy. If I have to use other means because of dys, wont that affect our father-son rtionship? As soon as his words fell, before others could speak, the several people Oscar had brought to guard the door were suddenly kicked into the reception room.
Several people fell to the ground, and the wooden floor made a dull noise. They curled up and couldnt get up. All the people in the reception room looked at the entrance. Then they saw Daisy Zane, Holt Lawrence, and Thomas Firway enter through the door. Old Master Lane was sitting at the front, facing the entrance. In the moment when their eyes met with Daisy Zane, Old Master Lane clenched the longevity lock in his hand and slowly exhaled, leaning back in his chair. All the strong support in that moment copsed. The housekeeper standing nearby saw Daisy Zane, and his eyes turned red instantly. Even being overwhelmed by emotion, he did something he hadnt done in decades. He patted Old Master Lane on the shoulder twice, quite forcefully. Old Master Lanes shoulder trembled from the pats, but he didnt mind. Daisy Zane looked at Old Master Lanes pale face and tired expression, then bit her lip, looked at Oscar, and took a step towards him. At that moment, Kevin rk walked up to her side. Little girl, Kevin rk took her hand, how did you get here? Daisy Zane stopped in her tracks and nced at Arthur North, saying coldly, There was a person who was spared his life a few years ago. Now that I think about it, I still n on killing him. Everyone could tell that Daisy Zane was targeting Allonzo Hobson.
But now was definitely not a good time to take action. Sister Lucia. Allonzo Hobson stood up and stood in front of Daisy Zane, blocking Hobsons view, Sit down first. Daisy Zane did not move. Arthur North held her hand and whispered, Wait until Olivia Lane wakes up and the Lane family stabilizes. He wont be allowed to leave Imperial Capital alive. Daisy Zane looked up at Arthur North. Arthur North also looked down at her, studying her slightly reddened eyes and the murderous intent that retreated as she looked at him. He knew she was not someone who would act recklessly, so there was some doubt in his eyes. Lucia,e sit here. Tom Wayne also called out to her. Daisy Zane looked at Elina rk and Tom Wayne and said, Uncle, Auntie, let me deal with something first. After that, she held Arthur Norths hand and looked at Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson instinctively stepped aside. As soon as he stepped aside, Oscar Turner and Daisy Zane met eyes. He thought for a moment and asked, Is it you? Years ago, when the conflict broke out in M Continent, Daisy Zanes face was covered, exposing only her eyes. However, these eyes were highly recognizable.
Especially when filled with murderous intent, which was why Oscar Turner identified her quickly. What are you here for? Oscar Turner frowned. Daisy Zane looked at him, her voice cold and disdainful, To take your life. Oscar Turners expression froze for a moment, and heughed, Do you dare? This is Imperial Capital, not M Continent. Daisy Zane looked at him without saying a word. Oscar Turner continued, You try it. Would the rk family and Lane family let you touch me? If you start a fight here today, within an hour, the news of the disorder in the Lane family will spread. Oscar Turner stood up and said, The internal copse of the Lane family, one of the two great families, will spread not only throughout the Imperial Capital but also other continents and cities. People who want to take advantage of the situation and step on the Lane family will immediately flood in. The situation in the Imperial Capital will immediately be chaotic. Old Master Lane looked at Daisy Zane and noticed her standing in ce, her powerful aura intimidating just from standing there. You may not care about Imperial Capital. But Oscar Turner nced at Arthur Norths hand that was connected with Daisy Zanes hand, and then looked at Allonzo Hobson and Hugo rk, What about them? They will not let Imperial Capital be thrown into chaos. Holt Lawrence raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, Arrogance should have limits, or else youll die miserably. Oscar Turner didnt take Holt Lawrences words to heart and looked at Daisy Zane, Besides, you cant not care about Imperial Capital. You two are already married, arent you? He saw the rings on Arthur North and Daisy Zanes hands, Since you are married, youre also considered part of the rk family. Your husband cant get involved in this matter. You have even less qualification. Arthur North narrowed his eyes and nced at Thomas Firway.
Thomas Firway immediately stepped forward. Arthur North had been holding back for a long time. For the sake of the situation in Imperial Capital and the Lane family, he could temporarily endure it. But if Oscar Turner dared to speak to his wife like that, he could no longer care about many things. If necessary, let the Imperial Capital undergo a bloody reshuffle. As Thomas Firway stepped forward, Allonzo Hobson, Hugo rk, as well as Mr. & Mrs. rk, were all startled. Olivia Lane was only slightly injured, and the situation in Imperial Capital had not reached an uncontroble point. They came here to buy time and seek peace. If they take action now Arthur North, Elina rk and Old Master Lane called out to him. However, just as Thomas Firway was about to touch Oscar Turner, Daisy Zane stopped him. Thomas Firway listened to Daisy Zane very well, so when she held him back, he stopped and retreated to one side. Oscar Turner nearly got hit and was almost scared to the point of his legs going soft. But when he saw Thomas Firway being stopped, his arrogant expression reappeared on his face. Holt Lawrence had never seen anyone more deserving of a beating. Daisy Zane held Arthur Norths hand tightly and then let go. She took a step forward and said, As the wife of the rk family, it is indeed not appropriate for me to interfere in this matter Oscar Turner chuckled and said leisurely, Thats good to know. Daisy Zanes fingertips touched each other slightly, her cold and slow voice stated, However, as the eldest daughter of the Lane family, I am qualified to clean house. Chapter 487: 430: I am a Bandit Daisy Zanes voice wasnt loud, but it fell into the ears of everyone in the banquet hall and left them all stunned. For a moment, the whole reception room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even the usually unppable Arthur North was taken aback, his pupils slightly dting as he stared at Daisy Zane. And the normally expressionless face of Hugo rk was even more so. Allonzo Hobson was so surprised that his ears rang; he felt that either his ears or his brain had a problem. Thomas Firways face twisted in shock. Old Master Lane was also taken aback, but quickly returned to his usual self, Oscar Turner and the rest of the Lane Family rtives also fell silent. Daisy Zane didnt care about their reactions and continued, How long have you been nning this? You made my parents go missing in M Continent, and staged a car ident in our country to harm my siblings. Oscar Turner, you thought yesterday was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but you never expected that Charlotte Lane did not die. After she said this, Natalie Wayne suddenly reacted. She hurriedly stood up, and in her haste, she knocked over the teacup.
The sound of the shattered teacup brought everyone in the reception room back to their senses except for Arthur North. Elina rk also immediately stood up and checked Natalie Waynes hand. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson both nced at Natalie Wayne and then looked at each other, and then both tacitly looked at Arthur North. Arthur North did not react, just kept looking at Daisy Zane. Seeing his reaction, Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson felt a little more reassured. How can you possibly be Charlotte Lane? Oscar Turner couldnt help but raise his voice. Why not? Old Master Lane said in a deep voice. As soon as the Old Master spoke, everyone looked at him. Arthur North also looked at him. Everyone saw the Old Masters calm face, and even a very subtle hint of smugness. In an instant, they all understood. He had known all along. The only ones who didnt know were them. Arthur Norths gaze returned to Daisy Zane, and he couldnt help but stare. It seemed that he was judging the authenticity of this matter, and looking for traces of the past in the girl he knew so well. How do we prove that shes Charlotte Lane? Oscar Turner looked at the Old Master, How do we prove that shes not just a stand-in you found to help you out in the current situation? How do you want to prove it? If I do a DNA test right now, youd think Ive tampered with the results, Daisy Zane said. Oscar Turner didnt say anything, but his silence was as good as admitting it. My parents gave my siblings and me shares when my brother was eighteen, Daisy Zane continued slowly, When they gave us the shares, we signed our names and left fingerprints. The Lane Groups system must still have it, and there must also be a paper version in the archives. I canpare the fingerprints. Old Master Lane held the longevity lock and looked at Daisy Zane, his eyes reddening slightly.
She had remembered, she had remembered Once Daisy Zane finished speaking, Oscar Turner suddenly lost his voice and even started to panic visibly. Since she dared to say it and dared topare fingerprints, it was almost certain she could do it. And the Lane Familythere was no need to find a stranger, let alone the wife of the rk Family, to impersonate Charlotte Lane.
He had been counting on the fact that this was an internal matter for the Lane Family and had not taken the rks into ount. But now, the Lane Family could deal with him internally. With the shares now in Charlotte Lanes hands, the entire Lane Family would follow her lead, and there would be no need for outsiders to intervene. Seeing Oscar Turners expression, Daisy Zane raised her eyebrow contemptuously. Then she nced at the concerted action agreement on the table and said, You dare to show off here with a 33% agreement. Did you think we didnt sign one ourselves? I can hold their voting rights in my hand. With 67% of the shares, I can override any of your opinions in this room. Allonzo Hobson breathed a sigh of relief. It was her Sister Brook who helped her. Anything else you want to say? Daisy Zane looked around at all the Lane rtives. There isnt a single familiar face. No one in the Lane family spoke, they all looked at Oscar Turner. Oscar stepped back a few steps before falling into a chair. He stared at the ground for a while, and suddenly raised his head and said, So what? Now there is only one person left in the Lane family. Do you think a woman like you can support the entire family? This is the Imperial Capital. Are you still gonna use those bandit tricks to manage the Lane family? Or are you gonna let the whole Lane family be annexed by the rk Family? Daisy Zanes eyes grew colder inch by inch, calm and unfathomably cruel. As he spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth andughed lightly, Idpletely forgotten. Im such a bandit. As her voice fell, she walked a few steps forward and directly kicked the chair with her foot. Behind them was arge wooden screen.
Daisy Zane kicked the chair, causing Oscar and the chair to fall backward, crashing against the screen behind them. However, Oscar managed to stabilize himself only, with the chair falling over. Once he steadied himself, he quickly lunged forward with an attack. Seeing him go after Daisy Zane, Mr. & Mrs. rk and Old Master Lane all became anxious. Natalie Wayne moved forward one step as Old Master Lane stood up immediately. But Arthur North and Hugo rk didnt bother much. Because in front of Daisy Zane, Oscar Turner is not even a match. Moreover, it was a good opportunity for Daisy Zane to establish her authority in front of these rtives. As Oscar charged, Daisy Zane caught his attacking wrist, then lifted her leg and without any mercy, kneed him directly in the ribs. Oscar let out a stifled groan; he could even faintly hear his own bone fracture. His entire body suddenly retreating, but as his wrist was still held, Daisy Zane pulled him back in. As she pulled him back, Daisy Zane lifted her leg again, her kneending on his other rib. Oscar let out a low growl in pain, then his strength drained from him. Daisy Zane twisted his hand suddenly, and Oscar turned, kneeling on one knee on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Old Master Lane silently sat back down in his chair. After sitting for a while, he nced at the rks again. Elina rk and Tom Wayne were surprised, but didnt have any excessive reactions. Daisy Zane, her hand holding Oscars wrist, did not release her grip. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and all the calmness disappeared in an instant. Her entire being was draped in ayer of terrifying gloom. In a soft voice, she said, Oscar, how many lives do you have topensate for the pain my brother and sister suffered? Who gave you the guts to do it? Oscars body trembled from the pain. He resisted for a moment but couldnt break free. After a few seconds of silence, he shouted maliciously, Are you onlypensating for your siblings? What about your parents? Let me tell you! Your parents have already be corpses. You should be ready to Daisy Zane twisted his arm with force, cutting off his words. Then, with her other hand, she took the gun from her waist and held it in her hand. She held it with one hand, tapped it on the table to load it, and pressed it directly against the back of Oscars head. She had taken the gun from Holt Lawrences car and had it hidden behind her coat all this time. You really do deserve to die. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, Charlotte Lane shouted, Stop! Dont let the home be stained with blood. All the Lane family rtives were frightened. Daisy Zane didnt move the gun that was pressed against Oscars head.
Arthur North walked to her side, grabbed her hand, took the gun from her and said, Let me do this kind of thing. Dont dirty your hands. Chapter 488: 431: Are You Okay? Oscar Turner had brought quite a few people with him, filling the Lane Familys courtyard. However, Harton rk had brought his people too, as well as those who were already guarding the Lane Familys home. When there was amotion in the Reception Room, Oscars men tried to barge in, but they were blocked outside by the people of the Lane Family and Hartons men. Although no fighting had urred, the two sides were in a stand-off. Inside the Reception Room, Daisy Zane let go of Oscar. Thomas Firway immediately pulled Oscar aside. Having dealt with him, Daisy turned to the group of rtives. She was about to speak when her cell phone rang. She took it out, saw that it was Gael Eastons number, and picked up right away. How did it go? Gaelughed and said: Of course, everything is fine and safe. This is my territory, if you ask me to find someone, could I possibly fail? Daisy lowered her gaze and let out a sigh of relief without showing any change of expression: Did they get hurt?
No. Gael said, They were originally escorted by people from the Lane Family; they were only forced into a mountain due to danger, and there was no signal inside the dense woods on the mountain. Gael, who is usually boisterous, suddenly lowered his voice: The Lanes, and the two you asked me to find, are all very powerful fighters. Oh, no, its mainly Andrew Lane whos very strong. Sophie Ortiz doesnt fight, but didnt slow them down at all. They didnt have a lot of people, but they fought against so many for almost a day and a night. These Lanes are really not to be messed with. Please entertain them a little. Daisy said. Of course. But they seem in a hurry to get back. Gael said, then suddenly raised his voice again, but it wasnt meant for Daisy. Yes, she asked me to find you. She her name is Daisy Zane. Gael almost forgot what Daisys current name is. Do you want to say a few words to her? Daisy It was Sophie Ortizs voice. Daisys eyshes fluttered, she responded, and then asked, You Youre not hurt, are you? Were not. Sophie said, But William and Amelie Everyone guessed who she was on the phone with. Old Master Lane walked up to her with his cane. Daisy looked up at him, signaling that everything was fine. Old Master Lane let out a sigh of relief. Daisy said: They are all fine, and not injured. The Lanes are fine too. Dont rush to get back, take a little rest there. Wed better go back, we dont feel at ease here. Sophie Ortiz said. Alright, let Gael arrange an airne for you. Daisy said in a calm voice, Dont hesitate to ask him for anything, he owes me a lot of money, so feel free to give him orders. Gael, who had heard this sentence through the loudspeaker: #%*&# After hanging up, Daisy told Old Master Lane: They are all fine and uninjured. Now arrangements are being made for their return. Good, good. Old Master Lane nodded, As long as they are safe, thats all that matters.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. But what brings joy to some could bring sorrow to others. Oscar Turner, who was pulled aside by Thomas Firway, along with the Lane Familys rtives were all dumbfounded. They thought that they would get more shares by being persuaded toe here by Oscar, but they didnt expect to get nothing and make enemies in the process.
After receiving a phone call, Daisy, though her hostility had subsided a bit, had no intention of letting them off the hook. She moved Harton rk aside and stepped forward, looking at the rtives. The rtives had just witnessed her almost killing Oscar, which made them very afraid of her. Especially knowing that Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Lane were safe, they had created such a fuss here. Even Charlotte Lane would probably threaten their lives. Daisy looked at them and said calmly: When we gave you the shares initially, it was also based on the idea of looking after our own kind. The rtives listened quietly to her. But while we were thinking about looking after you guys, you were thinking about taking our lives. Daisy said sarcastically, Dont you find it funny? Mr. & Mrs. rk witnessed Daisys tact again. Last time, she took the initiative with ra Mitchell. This time, she single-handedly carried the entire Lane family. As for me? Im vindictive and an eye for an eye is my rule. Daisy Zanes hand went into her pocket, her posture straight, but one could sense her casualness and a touch of disdain for everything, If you annoy me, I wont let you off. What, what do you intend? someone abruptly asked, We did not meddle with the affairs of William Lane, Amelie Quentin, or your parents. We just paid one small visit here, yet you dare threaten to kill us? It wont go that far, Daisy Zanes voice was soft, butmanded immense authority. Within a month, all the shares you hold will be recouped by the Lane family.
What? Reim our shares? How can they reim the shares? On what grounds are they reiming the shares? Following your whims, you think you dictate all the decisions in the Lane Family? It was mutually agreed that everybody would get shares, how can it be recouped just like that? Unless I die, forget about iming back even a dime. Hearing about reiming shares aroused these rtives. The reception room, for a moment, resembled a bustling marketce. Daisy Zane grabbed Kevin rks gun-clutching hand, held his hand, and pointed the gun straight at them. They immediately quietened down, even taking several steps back to avoid the gun muzzle. The reception room submerged into silence. You may be unaware. Daisy Zane held the gun in her hand, unloaded the magazine, Previously when I was home, I was pampered and ruled unhindered. In this home, whatever I say goes. Old Master Lane nced at her and then nodded, agreeing. Kevin rk also turned his head to look at her. In this home, I indeed have the final say. Daisy Zane casually proimed with great impudence.
Nobody spoke. Allonzo Hobson scratched his cheek, Daisy was indeed the youngdy of the Lane family C they couldnt simply constrain her. Daisy Zane continued, Im short-tempered, impatient. Within a month, someone will contact all of you. Its in your best interest to cooperate, otherwise the issue elevates from just reiming shares. Daisy Zane turned towards Oscar Turner and said, Hes just an example, but I wouldnt mind making examples out of all of you. You, youre crossing the line. another person stepped in, asking, Old Master, are you not going to intervene? The Lane Family will turn into a bandits den if left in her hands. Indeed, indeed. Everyone echoed in agreement. Old Master Lane, leaning on his cane, cleared his throat and dered, I cant interfere. I dont have Lane familys shares, I have no say. All the rtives: ???????? Are you okay? Just now, he was giving out to Oscar Turner, and suddenly now he ims to have no say? Allonzo Hobson couldnt help butugh at his double standards. If youre afraid it will turn into a bandits den, hurry and return the shares. Old Master Lane continued, Whether the Lane Family turns into a bandits den or a wolfs pit, its none of your concern. All the rtives:
Daisy Zane subtly raised her eyebrow without showing much emotion. The reception room went silent before someone retorted, Dont intimidate us. Old Master has been in power for many years with a clean reputation in public. You dare let Lane family members do anything to us? Youre merely trying to scare us off. To deal with you, we dont even need the Lane family. Daisy Zane said, Did you ever wonder how I managed to survive in the M Continent? All the rtives were taken aback. Holt Lawrence spoke, Allow me to introduce myself, Holt Lawrence, of the Celestial Pivot Detective Agency. All the rtives: ! The Celestial Pivot Detective Agency is independent of all families but only obeys Charlotte Lane. After Holt Lawrence finished, he smiled and said, I wee all of you to be adversaries of Celestial Pivot. Suddenly, no one spoke anymore. They all understood clearly. Even without the Lane family, there were various methods to deal with them. Seeing they had quieted down, Daisy Zane issued an eviction order: We havent prepared lunch for you all today, so you all should head back earlier. Chapter 489: 432: Don’t Be Stressed Oscar Turner was caught, and the people he brought with them saw the current situation and didnt dare to act. They were easily subdued. The rtives also left one after another because of Charlotte Lanes expulsion order. They came with grandiosity and left with their tails between their legs. The living room quieted down and became much more spacious. Even the air seemed to be fresher. Everyone stood in the living room, quiet for a while, until Xavier Dominic coughed lightly, and all eyes turned to him. I, my throat is itchy. Xavier Dominic repeated, Really, its just itchy. Everyone ignored him and shifted their gaze towards Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane noticed their gazes but didnt look at them. Instead, she looked at Old Master Lane. Old Master Lane was also looking at her. Last time they met, the old master only had a fleeting glimpse of his granddaughter. Now, in the open, he could take a close look at her. Charlotte The old man was just about to speak.
Daisy Zane suddenly took a step back, knelt in front of the old master, kowtowed before him, and then straightened her waist and said, Your unfilial granddaughter has caused you worry all these years. Everyone looked at Daisy Zane with downcast eyes. The earlier shock was already significant, but with Oscar Turners matter, everyone had temporarily put this event aside. Now that things had settled, everyone found it a little harder to bear the shock. Kevin rk, Hugo rk, and Xavier Dominic had yed with Charlotte Lane when they were younger, due to their good rtionship with William Lane. After so many years, they met again. It was supposed to be a first meeting, but it turned out to be a reunion. And all this time, they hadnt recognized each other. Holt Lawrence was also having a hard time adjusting. The Nana he knew he always felt that she was a wild child. No matter how calm and steady she seemed on the surface, there was always a touch of wildness deep down. Now she suddenly went from wild to domestic He was really having a hard time adapting. Old Master Lane was also stunned for a moment, and then he could no longer control his emotions. His eyes moistened instantly. He hurriedly bent down to help Charlotte Lane up: Get up, get up. Its good that youre back. Its good. Kevin rk also helped Daisy Zane up. Old Master Lane held Charlottes hand, patting it with his other hand: Its good to be back. The family is reunited now. Kevin rk looked at Daisy Zanes tear-filled eyes.
He remembered that Charlotte Lane loved to cry when she was a child, although sometimes it was exaggerated But now he rarely saw the little girl shed tears. When she was emotionally agitated, her eyes would only be wet and her face flushed, sometimes apanied by a low fever. He couldnt see any resemnce between her and the previous Charlotte Lane, neither in appearance nor in character.
As Elina rk and Natalie Wayne approached, Natalie couldnt help but cry. Elina looked at Old Master Lane and said, Look how emotional you are now. Werent you calm just now? None of your business. The old master raised his hand and wiped away a tear. You think I want to bother with you? Elina snorted, Im here for Charlottes sake. Old Master Lane didnt back down, snorting, Youre so capable, can you predict the future? Both of you shut up. Natalie intervened. Elina and Old Master Lane immediately became quiet. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows. Elina and the others didnt stay at the Lane house for long. After chatting for a while, they left. Only Kevin rk stayed behind. Old Master Lane hadnt slept all night, and now that things had calmed down a bit, his energy was even worse. Grandfather, go to your room and rest for a while. Daisy Zane said, When lunch is ready, Ille to call you. I want to see William and Amelie Quentin. Old Master said.
After lunch, well go together. Daisy Zane replied. Alright. Daisy Zane helped the old master upstairs, and Kevin rk walked by the old masters other side. After reaching the second floor, Old Master Lane nced at Kevin rk: Arthur. Uncle Lane Kevin rk subconsciously answered, then immediately stopped talking. He frowned slightly. Old Master Lane smiled and said, Youre very quiet today. Daisy Zane also looked at Kevin rk. Since her identity reveal, Kevin seemed to have lost hisnguage skills. Kevin still didnt say anything. Old Master Lane knew that this matter had a considerable impact on him. He smiled and said: Charlotte was always very clingy to you when she was little. Daisy Zane: Kevin still did not speak, but in his heart, he thought: But now shes not clingy to him anymore. Have you ever thought that Charlotte would marry you? The old man asked.
I Kevin couldnt speak. I thought Charlotte would marry you. Old Master Lane didnt wait for him to answer, I would be at ease and satisfied if Charlotte married you. The old man stood at the entrance of the room and looked at Kevin: Arthur, dont feel pressured. Daisy Zane held back augh. Kevin swallowed, feeling that what the old man said was not dont feel pressured but your pressure is yet toe. Okay. Kevin responded. The housekeeper apanied Old Master Lane into the room, and Kevin and Daisy went downstairs. As the two walked side by side down the stairs and stood in the middle of the living room, Kevin turned to look at Daisy. Daisy also looked up at him. After a brief exchange of nces, Kevin pulled Daisy into the restroom of the living room and locked the door. Then he lifted her onto the washbasin and kissed her. Kevins kiss was not gentle but rather fierce. Daisy had no choice but to bear it.
Kevins emotions wereplicated, a mixture of various emotions. The identity of the little girl had never been such a significant shock to him. Daisy let him kiss her, not struggling until he let her go. Kevin touched her face, looking at her eyes: Little Girl. A hint of desire appeared in Daisys cold gaze: Kevin rk, let me remind you that we are at my home. Kevin looked at her. Of course, I dont mind. Daisys eyes swept downwards, but she couldnt see much as Kevin held her face and tilted her head back, But can you do it? It took Kevin a moment to understand what she meant. He leaned closer, biting her lips lightly: My earlier kiss wasnt passionate enough, and you still dare to tease me. Daisy raised the corner of her mouth, her right hand hooked around his neck, pressed him down a little, and kissed him again. Chapter 490: 433: Third Uncle Kevin rk had nothing going on, but after Daisy Zane kissed him again, he couldnt temporarily leave the restroom. Daisy Zane sat on the washbasin, while Kevin rk leaned against the restroom door slowly catching his breath. Laughing, Kevin rk gritted his teeth. Even Third Master has vulnerable moments, Daisy Zane overstepped. Dont push me to find a hotel nearby, Kevin rk warned her. Daisy Zane: Seeing her quiet down, Kevin rk slowly exhaled, When did you find out? Daisy Zane knew he was talking about her identity as Charlotte Lane: The day I went to the rooftop of the Doomsday Hotel. I remembered something when I saw my brother. And then? Then I met my brother, Daisy Zane said. We sort of recognized each other, but notpletely since I couldnt recall my past at that time. Daisy Zane roughly exined the whole story to him, including Old Master Lane visiting her on the drama crew, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lane staying at the drama crew hotel, among other rted events.
After she finished, Kevin rk was silent for a while, then said, Half a year. Daisy Zane looked at him without responding. Kevin rk also looked at her, Why didnt you tell me? At first, I was shocked and confused, not sure how to tell you, Daisy Zane said softly. Later that day you got drunk, I told you once, but you didnt understand. Kevin rk: Then you said Charlotte Lane is delicate, cries easily, acts spoiled, a drama queen, Daisy Zane repeated his words one by one for him to hear. Kevin rk: Those descriptions hurt me, so I didnt want to say anything, Daisy Zane lied seriously. She had wanted to tell him several times since, but had been interrupted by other matters. Kevin rk didnt feel her pain but sensed her revenge, I didnt say that, I dont remember. Its fine, I remember, my memory is good. Kevin rk: forget about it. Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows, just about to say something else, but seeing his pitiful expression, she decided not to tease him any further. The two were quietly together for a while, Daisy Zane said, Kevin rk, I was in a bit of a rush this morning. Gael Easton is familiar with M Continent, so I contacted him. Kevin rk was surprised she brought this up and paused before replying, I know. Daisy Zane did not say anything else, and the two remained quiet for a moment. Kevin rk raised his hand towards her, Lets go, get out. Daisy Zane got down from the washbasin and walked towards him. As she reached him, Kevin rk grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Third Master, do you still want to go out or not? Kevin rk didnt answer, instead tightening his arms, embracing her a little more for a while before saying, Weve both grown up so much. Daisy Zanes teasing words suddenly wouldnte out. She blinked twice, briefly burying her face into Kevin rks shoulder. Kevin rk stroked her head gently, as he was the one, besides Charlotte Lane herself, who knew what she had gone through during these years.
So, he just felt shocked and heartache for her. Daisy Zane buried her face in his shoulder for a while, then stepped back out of his arms. Looking down, she said, Yeah, Third Uncle has also grown up so much. Kevin rk: Kevin rk felt like she was very polite not to say, Third Uncle is so old now. What did you call me? Kevin rk couldnt believe what he had heard. Third Uncle, Daisy Zane looked at him. Kevin rks thin lips trembled a bit. Daisy Zane tugged at her wrinkled shirt and emotionlessly said, When ites to marriage, were still rtives. Dont mix it up. Kevin rk shut down. Daisy Zane pulled him to the side and opened the restroom door, Lets go, Third Uncle. Kevin rk was once again speechless. Daisy Zane didnt care, walking straight out of the restroom. She stood outside for a moment, her tears welling up and falling without warning.
Was she feeling sorry for herself? Yes, she was. Feeling wronged? Yeah, she did. But she didnt want Kevin rk to feel bad. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, then lowered her head and gave a faint smile. Thats right; little L had grown up. She had married her Brother Arthur. To let Old Master Lane rest, lunch was dyed by an hour. After lunch, the driver took them to the hospital. Although the Lane Family didnt publicize their situation, Oscar Turner made a scene, and the news still got out. News about William Lanes uncertain fate and Andrew couples disappearance quickly became a hot search topic. However, Daisy Zane was prepared. When the news came out, the Lane Family immediately dispelled the rumors.
Meanwhile, Sophie Ortiz updated her Facebook with a video taken on a private airne, and she purposely included Andrew Lane in the footage. Andrew Lane then retweeted Sophies post and updated his status with: [For those who say Im missing, give me your address, and Ille see you after I get off the ne.] So, the online news appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast. Besides, the Lane Family remained stable internally, with no conflicts or divisions, which discouraged outsiders from taking any rash actions. The topics involving the Lane Family cooled down a bit. Now the focus turned to the rk Family. Everyone was discussing, what did the rk Family go to the Lane Family for in the morning? If the Lane Family was fine, why did the rk Family go there in such a grand manner? Did the rk Family and the Lane Family have a falling out? Half an hourter, the rk Groups official website posted an update. They retweeted a post asking about the purpose of the rk Familys visit to the Lane Family and replied with two words: [Proposing marriage.] As for who proposed marriage and to whom, it was not explicitly stated.
Nevertheless, Imperial Capital was abuzz. As the news of the alliance between the two great families of Imperial Capital was released Some were happy, some worried, and some excitedly watched the drama unfold. It was well known that all the rks, apart from Lily Parker, were males and that Harton rk was already married. After all, a marriage proposal was mentioned! Although the Lane Family had a daughter besides Roy Madison, gossip-lovers were not clear about the Lane Familys members. So, based on these reasons, several possibilities emerged: Either, Hugo rk was marrying the Lane Familys daughter. Or, Harton rk and Daisy Zane were divorcing, and he was marrying the Lane Familys daughter. Or, Hugo rk was marrying Roy Madison! Then, the possibility of Hugo rk and Roy Madison got the highest attention. People even uncovered several photos of the two, scrutinized every detail, and imagined all sorts of scenarios. They somehow managed to create a love affair between the two The rk Familys response also indirectly addressed Roy Madisons injuries. While the Lane Familys denial didnt mention Roy Madison, the rk Family mentioned proposing marriage. So, people assumed that Roy Madison was not badly injured. After all one couldnt propose marriage while someone was severely injured. Of course, there were also ims that both families wanted to cover up something deliberately. But after the Lane and rk families responded, they did not pay much attention to the online spections anymore. After all, no significant issues could be uncovered. So, let them be. Chapter 491: 434: Changing the Tune Quickly When Old Master Lane and the others arrived at the hospital, Olivia Lane had just been awake for a while. Hugo rk and Aunt Cruz were both apanying her. After she woke up, she first asked about William Lanes condition, and then she didnt talk much. Hugo thought she would make a fuss and cry, but she didnt show any reaction and justy quietly on the bed. When people talked to her, she either said yes or no. Otherwise, she wouldnt respond. This continued until Charlotte Lane and Old Master Lane arrived. Olivias gaze turned to the door upon hearing the sound of the door opening and footsteps, she suddenly sat up on the bed after seeing Charlotte. Hugo, afraid that she would be dizzy, immediately got up to support her. Sister. As soon as Olivia spoke, her voice was filled with sobs, and she reached out to hug Charlotte. Charlotte walked two steps forward, standing beside the bed. Olivia immediately hugged her and burst into tears, Sister. Charlotte gently ced her hand on Olivias head, not daring to use force, and lightly touched her, saying, Why are you crying?
Olivias shoulders trembled as she cried, and after a while, her voice became noticeably hoarse, Brother, he, he Its okay, hell be fine. Its my fault, its all my fault. Olivia choked up, Brother did it to protect me, if he hadnte to pick me up Its not your fault, Charlotte said. Someone deliberately set it up, and we have already taken care of it. None of those who should be dealt with will be spared. Olivia cried for a long time, and finally, when her emotions calmed down a bit, her eyelids hadpletely disappeared from crying. Charlotte was about to grab a tissue to wipe Olivias tears, but when she turned around, Hugo handed her a box of tissues. Charlotte nced at him and took two tissues to wipe Olivias tears. That nce made Hugos heart race. Charlotte said, You cried so much you look ugly. Are you despising me? Olivia tilted her head back to look at her, letting Charlotte wipe her tears. How dare I? Charlotte said, If I make you cry again, Ill have to call the doctor to give you a sedative. Olivia sniffed, Thats so cruel. Charlotte smiled slightly, Lie down. Okay. Olivia was about to lie down, but suddenly saw Old Master Lane standing behind Charlotte. She was too close to Charlotte just now, and her line of sight was blocked, so she didnt see Old Master Lane at all. And when they entered the room just now, it seemed that she only saw her sister. Grandpa, youre here too? Olivia straightened up immediately. Old Master Lane took two steps forward, smiling, Finally noticed your grandpa? I thought you only had eyes for your sister. Grandpa, please have a seat. Olivia said, I was just too emotional.
Old Master Lane sat in the chair beside the bed and looked at her, asking, How are you feeling? Are you dizzy? Im fine. Olivia paused for a moment before saying, Grandpa, Im sorry. What are you talking about, its not your fault, this incident has nothing to do with you. Old Master Lane said gently, William will be fine too. Olivia lowered her head and said nothing.
Lie down, sitting up for too long will make you dizzy. Old Master Lane said. Old Master Lane stayed in the ward for a while before Charlotte apanied him to see William. Arthur North and Hugo rk did not go together but went outside the hospital to smoke. Third Uncle, how could you not notice anything? Arthur North nced at him but didnt respond. I felt that William was quite happy recently. Hugo said, I thought he was in love. Is he? Hmm. Hugo was quite concerned about William, after all, he would be his future Cousin Smith, so he needed to please him to some extent. As for Arthur North he never thought such a situation would happen today. No wonder there were rumors about you two. Arthur had already seen the news online on his way here. Hugo rk: Third Uncle, I have to thank you. Arthur North smoked without paying attention to him.
Facing Cousin Smith and my father-inw first thanks to you, my pressure has been greatly reduced. Hugo rk said jokingly. Get lost. Arthur North threw him a merciless word. He suddenly remembered what he had said to Hugo rk. You dare to marry a daughter of the Lane Family. Arthur North frowned slightly. Hugo rk didnt dare speak. Arthur North finished one cigarette and took another from Hugo rks pocket and lit it: Anyway, Im married now. Youd better think about how to make that little girl like you first. A direct hit. Hugo rk didnt want to breathe, let alone talk. He always felt that Olivia Lane was like a broken fate thread. It is not that she is notmitted to him. ording to his observation for such a long time, she just didnt care about being in a romantic rtionship. She never liked anyone and didnt even care about being in love. Third Uncle, how did you win Auntie over?
Arthur North ignored him. ording to reason, shouldnt the love story take up a certain ce in the minds of little girls of Olivias age? Hugo rk didnt understand, But she doesnt have a point at all. Do you think she is precocious orte-blooming? Or did she see through the world? Hugo rk usually didnt say much, but today he kept talking and talking, annoying Arthur North. Arthur North finished his cigarette and turned to leave: Just stay single. As for having great-grandchildren, let my parents count on Charles Amos. With that, he left. Hugo rk looked at his retreating figure and clicked his tongue. He should have asked him how to chase someone first. Now that he has annoyed him, its none of his business. Miscalction. After Arthur North returned to the ward, he found that the little girl had admitted Old Master Lane to the hospital, and his ward was next to Olivia Lanes. What happened? Arthur North thought something had happened while he was away.
His blood pressure is too high. Charlotte Lane said indifferently. Its all thanks to the youngdy. The housekeepers expression rxed a lot, Otherwise, the Old Master wouldnt even be willing to be hospitalized. Charlotte, Charlotte. The Old Master called her from the ward. Arthur North and Charlotte Lane entered the ward together. Charlotte, Im really fine, the Old Master said. Ill be fine after taking some medicine. Lets go back. Im not used to this ce. Youll get used to it. Charlotte Lane said mercilessly, Before your blood pressure goes down and stabilizes, I wont hear a word about leaving the hospital. Old Master Lane: Arthur North chuckled. Old Master Lane looked at Arthur North and said, Arthur, Im really fine. Come and take my pulse and tell me if Im fine, if I dont need to be hospitalized. Charlotte Lane looked sideways at Arthur North. Arthur North felt half of his body freezing due to her gaze: Grandpa, do I look like I have a say in this? Charlotte Lanes eyshes trembled slightly. Old Master Lane: After a while, the Old Master was climbing onto the bed resignedly, grumbling, Kid, you sure know how to change your tune. Chapter 492: 435: Feeling A Bit Sorry For You Andrew and Sophie arrived in Imperial City in the evening. The helicopternded directly on the rooftop of First Hospital. Gael Easton had arranged for the helicopter in M Continent, but it needed coordination domestically. After some contact with M Continent, Gael Easton got in touch with Harton rk. Domestically, everything was always managed by Harton rk and William Lane,pletely independent of their respective families, with power held in their hands. With William Lane injured, Gael Easton eventually had to contact Harton rk. By the time they were in contact, Harton rk had already arranged everything. When Harton rk and Daisy Zane came to pick people up from the rooftop, they found that Gael Easton had alsoe along. Daisy, Sophie said as she spotted her and immediately walked towards her. Andrew followed her quickly. Daisy, Sophie held her hand, Whats the current situation?
Charlotte Lane nced at the couple and then shouted, Mom and Dad, my brothers condition is more serious, but the rest is fine. She had always been afraid that she wouldnt know how to get along with them. For ten years, she had no concept of family or blood rtionship. But in reality, once she recalled everything and saw them, all worries were unnecessary. She knew that her parents loved her very much. She loved them too. Andrew and Sophie were stunned and didnt even hear what she said next clearly. After a while, Sophie finally said, L, L. After calling out to her, she hugged her tightly, L, my L has returned. Andrew wiped his eyes, wanting to hug both of them, but considering that Charlotte had grown up and had been away from home for over ten years, he worried that being too enthusiastic would make her ufortable. So he just pinched her shoulder. After a brief reunion on the rooftop, Charlotte led them to see William Lane and Olivia Lane. Grandfathers blood pressure is high, Charlotte said, I admitted him to the hospital as well. Good, good, Andrew replied, He listens to you. He doesnt listen to anything we say. The family of three walked towards the hospital,pletely ignoring Harton rk, who hesitated for a moment and then silently followed them. Just as he took two steps, he was suddenly stopped. Harton rk turned around, frowning when he saw Gael Easton. He almost forgot that this person had been ignored too.
Gael Easton ignored Harton rks disgusted look, asking, When did this little girl get parents? Harton rk pulled out his arm. Are they adopted? Gael Easton asked, Why adopt her? Harton rk:
Shes already married into the rk family, so whats the point of recognizing Lane familys parents? Gael Easton said, She wants both the families in Imperial City to belong to her! Harton rk thought that Gael Easton had some intelligence, but not much. Say something, Gael Easton pressed his long hair blown by the wind back. Biological. Harton rk threw the two words at him and nned to leave, but Gael Easton stopped him again. Biological?! Gael Easton couldnt believe what hed heard, What kind of biological? Whos biological? Whos rted to whom? Harton rk: Gael Easton saw that Harton rk looked disgusted and speechless, so he let go of him and said, I cant believe the little girl actually has parents. Harton rk wondered how the little girl had endured all these years without killing him. Damn, I always thought she was wild, Gael Easton said, Didnt you think so? I didnt, Harton rk said in a deep voice. Gael Easton nced at him and continued, Then isnt she the daughter of the Lane family? Harton rk ignored him.
Wow, she has such a huge background? Born at the pinnacle, Gael Easton said, Its just that she stood at the pinnacle for too long, fell down for a bit, and hurt herself pretty badly. The daughter of the Imperial City Lane family, she definitely wont look up to me now. To correct you, she never looked up to you, said Harton rk. How do you know shes never been interested in me? Gael Easton looked at him, You, the Third Master of the rk Family in Imperial City, and I, the royal heir of the M Continent, are not that different. She wouldnt be interested in a spoiled brat like you either. Youre not the heir yet. Why do you talk so harshly? Gael Eastonined. Facing you, do you think I can say anything nice? Kevin rk replied. Charlotte Lane apanied her parents, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, for quite a while. Seeing that Kevin rk had note over, she sent him a message. Kevin rk replied: [Im entertaining Gael Easton. He hasnt been around in a long time, and he brought my uncle and aunt here this time. I should be ying the host role.] Charlotte Lane could sense something unusual about his hosting, but she didnt pay too much attention to it. It wasnt until Andrew Lane remembered Gael Easton that she went to look for them on the rooftop. Then she saw Kevin rk standing by the edge of the rooftop smoking, while Gael Easton sat on the ground five meters away from him, apparently missing a button on his shirt. His rtively long hair was also somewhat messy.
It seemed like he was a bit autistic. Both men looked up as they heard footsteps. Kevin rk quickly put out the cigarette and moved a few steps to the side before throwing the cigarette into a trash can, and then walked towards Charlotte Lane. Little girl. Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rks rolled-up shirt sleeves, then looked at Gael Easton sitting on the ground, and asked, Did you guys fight? How could we? As Kevin rks voice fell, Gael Easton stood up and began to rant, Why not? You little brat, do you know how scary he is? Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. She knew Kevin rk could be ruthless when dealing with enemies. He almost threw me off the roof. Gael Easton walked towards her and stopped halfway, pointing down from the edge of the rooftop, Do you know how high this is? This is the top floor of a twenty-nine-story building, Charlotte Lane answered calmly. Gael Easton was choked: Am I asking you where we are? No, Charlotte Lane said, Youre asking how high this is.
You, you two Gael Easton pointed at them and said, What a sinister couple. Charlotte Lane looked him over: At least youre not injured. Damn, you really have the nerve to say that. Gael Easton pointed at Kevin rk, He does psychological damage! Gael Easton immediately thumped his chest and coughed twice, I cant take it anymore, I need to go get an X-ray. As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew Lane came up: Mr. Easton. Gael Easton immediately straightened up, his expression and demeanor bing more polite, and he even stopped ranting, smiling warmly. Uncle Lane. Kevin rk: Charlotte Lane: Mr. Easton, I apologize for any rudeness. I was in a rush. Andrew Lane personally came to greet him, giving Gael Easton a lot of face. Uncle Lane, youre too polite. Gael Easton walked towards him, and halfway there, he raised an eyebrow at Kevin rk smugly, Im fine, I and Charlotte are very close, you dont need to be so polite. Andrew Lane escorted Gael Easton away and red at Kevin rk before leaving. Kevin rk saw the murderous intent in the eyes of a doting father. With the two people gone, only Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane were left on the rooftop. After staring at each other for a while, Kevin rk said, I was wrong. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, What did you do wrong? I shouldnt have used force, Kevin rk said, I should have stuffed Gael Easton back in the helicopter before it left. Charlotte Laneughed, then said, Third Uncle, suddenly, I feel a bit sorry for you. She was referring to her fathers attitude. Kevin rk: If you want to call me Third Uncle, then dont bother feeling sorry for me. After Kevin rk finished speaking, he bit her lips gently. And then Charlotte Laneughed out loud. Chapter 493: 436: Is it… Over Between Us? Chapter 493: Chapter 436: Is it Over Between Us? In the evening, Charlotte Lane sent everyone home and stayed at the hospital with Olivia Lane. Sophie Ortiz and Aunt Cruz wanted to stay as well, but Charlotte asked them to leave. So Andrew Lane and his group took Gael Easton back to the Lane Family home. Kevin rk stayed behind with Charlotte. He apanied the Old Master in another ward, while Charlotte stayed with Olivia. When everyone had left, Charlotte intended to clean Olivias face and let her sleep, but Kevin suddenly called her from outside the ward. Once she went out, she found not only Kevin but also Hugo rk. Auntie. Charlotte nced at him and then looked at Kevin. Kevinughed, Want to chat with Grandfather for a while?
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then looked at Hugo, She needs to rest early. Alright, Hugo said, Thank you, Auntie. Charlotte followed Kevin to the ward next door. As soon as Hugo entered the ward, Charlotte looked back. Kevin said, Hugo hes a pretty good guy. Charlotte looked at him outside the Old Masters ward, Of course, you think hes good because hes your blood nephew. Olivia is not young; she can make her own decisions. Kevin said, acting like he didnt care about Hugo, but deep down he did, as they were family. If she likes him, I wont object. Charlotte said softly. Kevinughed and didnt say anything. If Hugo could really win Olivias heart Then the Lane Family might be allergic to the rk surname in the future. Hes only two years older than you, howe I dont have much impression of him? Charlotte asked. Hugo spent more time at his grandmas when he was young. Kevinughed, I guess you have an especially deep impression of me instead. Charlotte looked up at him, and after a moment, raised her eyebrows, Just so-so. Is it just so-so? Kevin asked with a smile in his eyes, When you were little, you often called me Brother Arthur and asked me to hold you. Why did you be so distant when you grew up? Distant? Charlotte looked at him, her eyes filled with flirtatious overtones, I not only let you hold me Kevins eyes, full ofughter, suddenly stilled, and he lightly inhaled. Charlotte smiled, Still want to hear it? What? Kevins voice was a little husky.
Calling you like when I was little. Kevins pupils trembled slightly, was such a good thing about to happen? Third Master rk could hardly believe it but couldnt suppress the anticipation in his heart. Charlotte grasped his cor, and Kevin, without any resistance, obediently leaned down.
Charlotte leaned into his ear and gently bit it. Kevin involuntarily swallowed. Then he heard Charlotte whisper softly, Third Uncle. Kevins little excited heart suddenly seemed to lose its color, slowing down a beat. He could even feel the desire in the corners of his eyes fading slightly. After Charlotte finished calling him, she released Kevin and brieflyughed. Then she opened the door behind her and entered Old Master Lanes ward. Kevin had failed to stop her and could only look at the door that hadnt been closed tightly. He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath. He was wrong. The little girl hadnt lost any traces of her past self. This sly, mischievous nature that hadnt changed one bit since she was young. During the time Olivia and Old Master Lane were hospitalized, their family members took turns staying overnight with them. Aunt Cruz and the housekeeper were usually with them during the day.
Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane would visit whenever they had the time. As William Lane had suffered injuries, Andrew Lane had begun taking charge of the Lane Family once more. Moreover, hepletely reorganized the family affairs, including taking back shares from the rtives. He fully adhered to Charlotte Lanes approach. Everything regarding Oscar Turner was also taken care ofpletely. The rk Family didnt get involved; Harton rk dealt with it. Following Charlottes instructions, Luke caused him to disappear within two days. This major upheaval made everyone in the Imperial Capital aware that something had happened to the Lane Family. However, it was all resolved internally. In fact, Andrew Lanes family emerged victorious, which resulted in the current reorganization. During this time, Charlotte Lane did not return to the family residence. She spent most of her time at the Research Institute and asionally went to visit Olivia in the evening. She would also take the opportunity to meet her parents at the hospital. A weekter, William Lane was transferred from ICU to a regr ward, and both Olivia and Old Master Lane were discharged from the hospital. Finally, the Lane family had some downtime.
However, William Lane still hadnt woken up. His vital signs had been stable the entire time, but he never regained consciousness. Medical teams were consulted one after another, but none could confirm whether or not he would wake up. So, in the end, the best anyone could do was keep himpany and talk to him whenever they had time, hoping that it might have some effect. Sis, when are youing home? Olivia asked. Charlotte Lane had brought Olivia lunch she bought during her lunch break at the hospital. Olivia had spent most of her days at the hospital during these times. I will finish up at the Research Institute in about three days, Charlotte answered. Due to William Lanes injury, the Research Institute suddenly lost one of its main forces, causing work to get slightly busier. Alright, then will you be staying at home? Olivia inquired. Home is too far from the Research Institute, Charlotte replied as she opened the food and checked the equipment beside William. Maybe you could stay the night asionally, Olivia suggested as she sat at the dinner table, Thats what my elder brother used to do. Ok, Charlotte agreed, then sat at Williams bedside and turned to look at Olivia, The results are out.
Yeah, Olivia replied with a smile, 749 points. Charlotte raised her eyebrows and clinked her water ss with Olivias, Congrattions, Little Top Schr. Olivia smiled: 149 in Language; I think I lost one point in theposition. Thats great. Oh gosh, Skyler Thomas was so excited that he cried while calling me, Olivia said, It made me feel embarrassed to be so calm. So? So, I recited a 500-word speech of gratitude on the spot, Olivia exined, I thanked heaven and earth, our country, my parents, siblings, ssmates, teachers, and even an anthill under the second tree to the left on the school yground. Charlotteughed: What happened to the anthill? I thanked it for giving me entertainment by counting the ants. Charlottesughter caused her shoulders to shake. On the hospital bed, William Lanes fingers twitched slightly. However, since Charlotte and Olivia were too engrossed in conversation, neither noticed the movement. All the students in 16th ss performed really well, Olivia continued afterughing, Marsh Turners extraordinary performance ced him in fifth ce for the whole city. Thats great. Chapter 494: 437 No Little Prince Chapter 494: Chapter 437 No Little Prince Just after the results came out, Olivia Lane had to return to School in the afternoon. She had a meal in the Hospital and chatted with Charlotte Lane for a while before being taken away by Hugo rk. Only Charlotte Lane and William Lane were left in the Ward. Then, following her principle of talking more with William Lane, Charlotte opened her Cell phone and found all kinds of electronic reading materials shared with her by Anisa Cooper. Then, she spent ten minutes deciding to open the search app and searched for several bedtime stories to read to William Lane. She told Anisa to look for some light, simple, and easy-to-understand recreational reading materials for her. She did find her quite a few, all of them novels, several of them started with On the Bed scenes as soon as they started. Can that level of description pass the review? It was really liberal a few years ago. Now they probably cant even find it. It turned out theyre all Anisas collectors editions.
Charlotte Lane looked for several childrens bedtime stories to read to William Lane. Her voice was naturally cold, and the story was read without any extra emotion, clear and cool, with azy dragging tone. After finishing, she didnt forget toment. Its just fooling kids, just listen to it. When I was a kid, were you fooling me like this? I was so easy to fool without a kindergarten diploma. Although the ugly duckling was born a white swan, bing beautiful is something that everyone can achieve through hard work. Hmm? This Snow White Princess is awakened by the princes kiss? Why did I hear a version when I was little that Snow Whites good deeds moved the heavens, so they gave her a chance to be reborn? Then Charlotte flipped through several versions and couldnt find the ending she heard. She looked at the lying William Lane: Well, should you exin it to me? Why did other kids have The Little Prince when I was little and I had good deeds, moved the Charlotte Lanes words were suddenly choked, she saw William Lanes eyelids move and opened his Eyes to look at her. William was very weak, even his eyelids looked weak, but still looked at Charlotte and gently pulled the corners of his mouth. Charlotte Lane immediately stood up, pressed the call bell, and put a hand on his shoulder, softly calling him, Elder brother. William had no strength to speak, so he could only blink his eyes in response to her. Hold on for a while, dont sleep. Charlotte Lanes hand gently pinched his shoulder, her eyes gradually reddening, Doctor ising soon. After the Doctor came and checked him. Once people wake up, the follow-up is just good nursing and recuperation, and there are no major issues. However, William was too weak, the doctor examined him thoroughly, and Charlotte spoke a few words to him. While she was on the phone telling her parents, he fell back asleep. So when he woke up the next time, he saw a circle of people surrounding his Bedside. That magnificent scene almost sent him back to Ghost Gate Pass.
Grandfather, Mom and Dad. William Lane weakly called them, and because he hadnt spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse. Kiara Lawrence and Olivia Lane immediately burst into tears. Old Master Lane and Andrew Lane were speechless for a moment. Kiara Lawrence was holding William Lanes hand and crying silently.
Mom, Olivia. Im fine, dont cry. William Laneforted, There are outsiders here, dont let themugh at us. Where are the outsiders? Kiara Lawrence sobbed. Those with thest name Ye and He are outsiders. Arthur North (Ye Han Zhi),Kevin rk (Ye Ting Yao),Allonzo Hobson (He Yu Dong) +: Allonzo Hobson snorted: Alright. I went through hell and fire for you, prayed every day for you, prayed for you to Buddha, and in the end, Im just an outsider. Allonzo Hobson muttered: Well, at least Im a bit more bnced than Arthur. Arthur North: William Lane looked at Arthur North and then gently hooked the corners of his mouth. After William Lane woke up, he used the Research Institutes medicine, and his body recovered quickly. In William Lanes words, he applied the things he studied to himself. And since the Research Institute was a bit idle at the moment, Charlotte visited the hospital quite often. Brother, arent you biased? Olivia said, peeling an apple with a knife. The whole apple was about to be peeled away, Ive been here for so many days, but you remained unconscious. When my sister came, you woke up. L questioned me why she didnt have a Little Prince when she was young, and I think I should answer her. William leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the apple in her hand, Olivia, maybe dont peel it anymore.
Its okay, I can do it. L sat on the other side, messaging someone on her phone. Hearing her talk, she looked up and said softly, My brother means he doesnt want to eat the apple core. Olivia: This is clearly more than just the core. Well, be careful with your hand. L said. William watched their exchange and chuckled softly. So why didnt I have a Little Prince? L asked casually. Am I not the Little Prince? William said, You two are princesses. L pursed her lips. L was speechless. L didnt want to talk. Oliviaughed at her sisters expression. William also chuckled and then asked, Olivia, what major do you want to choose? Administrative Management.
Both William and L were surprised that she chose this major. Then William asked, Because of Grandfather? Olivia was silent for a moment, then shook her head, I can only say that Im somewhat influenced by Grandfather. But more so because I wanted it myself. Why? L looked at her and asked. I ran into some trouble at a ss reunion yesterday. Olivia looked at their suddenly serious expressions and quickly said, Dont worry, Im fine. Its something that happened in the past. I found outst night that theyve been covering for each other, and it was never dealt with. William and L didnt say anything. I thought about it for a long timest night. Olivia used the fruit knife to stab the apple repeatedly, I dont think I can do anything about it. The only thing I can do is to reach that position myself and try to avoid such things as much as possible. L raised her brow slightly as she listened to her sisters words. William was silent for a while before he said gently, Do you know what youll have to give up? Olivia thought for a moment and said, I seem to know. Once she goes down this road, the Lane family wouldnt be able to protect her as they do now. In some ways she couldnt rely too much on the Lane family either. The Late Master Lane had achieved a certain level of authority before he got the title of Clear Reputation.
I dont know if I can do it well. Olivia said. You can. L replied, looking down. William also said, Our Olivia has really grown up. L and Olivia stayed with William from the afternoon until the evening, having dinner together at the hospital before leaving together. On their way back, L gave Olivia Diego Giovannis mobile number: Hes from the police station, his surname is Diego, you can find him if you need anything. Just say youre my sister. Okay. Sis, are you going home tonight? L suddenly remembered Harton rks pitiful look before she came today, Ill go back tomorrow night. Okay. Olivia was silent for a moment before saying, Sis, do you think Brother Enamel has taken a fancy to me? Why is he talking to me every day? L: If so, what do you n to do? Of course, stay away. Olivia said, Hes scary. Hes both old-fashioned and serious. Im very afraid of him. L chuckled. She wondered how Hugo rk managed to leave such an impression while pursuing someone. Chapter 495: 438: Visiting the Door Chapter 495: Chapter 438: Visiting the Door Charlotte Lane took advantage of the free time and epted the endorsement of this yearstest jewelry design series for Spotlight. She shot the endorsement photos and the advertisements, but both Maple Elite Entertainment and Spotlight have not made official announcements yet. Both sides wanted to find a better day to make the announcements. Charlotte returned to the Lane family during this time. Moreover, she didnt go back to Rose Garden or rk Manor for three consecutive days. This made Arthur North particrly gloomy. The Research Institute finallyhad a break, and he could see people during the day, but he couldnt find his wife in the evening. It was even worse today. Theres not much going on at the Research Institute, and he couldnt see his wife all day long. Arthur stood by the lotus pond in his courtyard, pinching fish food in his hand, and sprinkling it little by little into the pond. With each sprinkle of fish food, Arthurs irritation seemed to rise a little.
Yo, feeling gloomy here? Arthur heard the voice and turned to look at Tom Wayne behind him. Then he looked at Elina rk in the distance, who was ying with Charles Amos. Mom. Tom was wearing a in cheongsam dress. Seeing Arthurs appearance, he smiled, walked to Arthurs side, and looked at the fish in the pond, Charlotte hasnt been home for more than ten years. You have to understand her sudden return. I know, said Arthur, as if forced. Andrew Lane is a devoted daughters ve, and Charlotte was the first daughter in the Lane family back then. Their affection for her is even greater, Tom said, Now, hes your elder, and you should be more tolerant. Hmm. Arthur replied. Tom stood quietly beside him for a while and then said, Arthur, do you remember when I wanted to introduce you to Amelie Quentin and what you said? Arthur nced at his mother: You say it, Tom imitated his tone, Our two families have been friends for generations, and even from our ancestors, that girl should call me uncle. Im an elder, and I cant be so disrespectful. Arthur: Mom, how do you remember everything? Tomughed and said, What now? Why dont you say youre an elder now? Why dont you say youre disrespectful now? Mom, said Arthur helplessly. I suspect youre here to mock me. Tomughed again for a while and said, Im just repeating what you said. Arthur sighed in resignation and thenughed. When she was a little girl, she never called him uncle. Now, she couldnt call him Brother Arthur. Such irony that fate yed on him specifically.
Tom sighed and then looked at the lotus leaves in the distance, Its great. The Lane family is reunited. More than ten years have passed. Although no one said anything, everyone might have thought they would never find Charlotte again. But now she has returned. Safe and sound, happy and healthy, everyone is overjoyed.
Arthur knew that Tom envied them, so he held Toms hand and said, We have Charles. Tom smiled and turned to look at Charles. Yes, we have Charles. Arthur and Tom talked for a while, and then Tom and Elina took Charles to the Royal Court Music Academy. Arthur stood by the lotus pond, watching the hands his parents held, and Charles following beside them. He nced at his own hand feeding the fish, and then a vicious calction shed in his narrow eyes. In his mind, he was sorting through various events and people, and he actually found an unresolved matter. He had been busy during that time, so he put the matter aside. Arthur pinched his fingertips and took out his cell phone to call Juan Wright. George Maxwells injury has healed, hasnt it? The sudden mention of George stunned Juan for a moment, Yes, it has. Report to the police and send him in, Arthur whispered. Huh? Juan was different from Michael Jackson. Michael would do whatever Arthur said, no matter how many doubts he had in his heart.
But Juan, he had to ask if he was uncertain. Thats why Arthur loved taking Michael with him wherever he went. It was just that Michael was now in theboratory, monitoring all the experiments with his team, allowing them some leisure time. With all the things hes done, do you expect him to contribute to society if we dont send him in? Arthur said. Juan understood. At that Clear Shadow Pub they bought, Georges harassment attempt had been unsessful. However, the investigation showed that this was not the first time George had done something like that. And that was only the data from the time he got caught. Julian had helped to resolve some of those incidents. At that time, Kevin didnt send George straight to prison, but instead confronted him with the Clear Shadow Pub incident and took him away. He didnt want to simply squash George. He left a way out for the Maxwell Family and Julian, so that Julian would use Charlottes cement in the Research Institute as a bargaining chip for her sons release. On the other hand, if Kevin had killed George outright, Julian would never sign off on the Research Institute admission. Now that George had no more value to be used, Kevin didnt want to keep him around.
But the Maxwell Family surely wont let it go, Juan said. You think if we dont touch George, theyll leave us alone? Kevin replied. Juan thought about it and agreed. The Maxwell Family would never back down because of Bonnies situation. Exactly, if Julian dares to make any moves, the Maxwell Family will be finished too, Kevin said. Juan agreed while thinking to himself: Who on earth had provoked Third Master this time, making him so furious? Be mindful of the victims privacy, Kevin instructed. Understood. After exining Georges situation, Kevin didnt feel the slightest bit relieved. So he fed the fish from one lotus pond to another. It wasnt until after four in the afternoon that he received a call from Charlotte. He left the stuffed fish and the still hungry fish, prepared a bunch of gifts, and headed to the Lane home. Gael had been in the Imperial Capital all these days, spending the first night at the Lane home before moving to the Doomsday Hotel.
The Lane Family wanted to express their gratitude and had specifically arranged an early dinner with Gael. Although they didnt ask Charlotte directly, they could somewhat tell that Gael had feelings for her. So they specifically invited Kevin as well. Even though Andrew Lane didnt have a good impression of Kevin, after all, he was the person his daughter liked. They couldnt invite Kevins love rival to their home for dinner without Kevin there. Otherwise, what would that look like? However, even though they had handled the situation this way, it was clear that Andrew had no intention of letting Kevin off the hook. During dinner, he got Kevin drunk. He went overboard, continuously thanking Gael to the point of almost referring to him as a brother. And with each thank you and toast to Gael, Andrew would look kindly at Kevin and ask politely yet firmly, Arthur, care to join in? If not that, it was, Arthur, join us. Or, Arthur, you must have a drink with us. Eventually, it was just, Come, Arthur. Arthur. Kevin drank one ss after another. Charlotte sat next to him, originally nning to secretly block some drinks for him or drink some on his behalf. However, Kevin held her hand tightly, not letting her make a move. So, in the end, Charlotte watched as Kevin held her hand with one, and drank with the other, joining them all. Even when Kevin got drunk, he appeared to be very steady outwardly, and his voice sounded a little hoarse but normal, speaking very naturally. But after experiencing it once before, Charlotte had a rough idea of his alcohol tolerance. She knew how drunk he would get. Plus, Andrew was being sneaky: the alcohol content of the drinks he and Gael had was much lower than the one Kevin had. However, he underestimated Kevin and overestimated Gael. Gael didnt seem to care about the alcohol content; he was one of those people who would get excited and somewhat unconscious after three drinks. And seeing that Charlotte had been watching Kevin the whole time without any expression, Andrew sensed that his daughter appeared to be in distress. So, Andrew ended the drinking session. Then everyone apanied the already tipsy Gael in drinking some cold water Chapter 496: 439: Dissipated Son Chapter 496: Chapter 439: Dissipated Son About drinking alcohol. Gael Easton is both a lightweight and a heavy drinker. Even when hes already drunk, he insists on drinking more. So Charlotte Lane secretly switched his drink to in water, and he still drank happily. Andrew Lane was drinking with him, during which he took a trip to the restroom. Upon returning, Gael Easton was still not done drinking. Uncle Lane, here. Gael Easton poured water for Andrew Lane. Gael Easton Charlotte Lane called out to him from across the table, then said politely, You should go to bed. At the sound of her cold voice, Gael Easton immediately sobered up significantly, then narrowed his eyes to look at her for a moment and said, Little Miss, youre here too. Everyone at the table, except for Harton rk who was watching the bottle of wine with half-lidded eyes, all looked towards Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte Lane was silent as she looked at Gael Easton. Gael Easton looked at her in a daze for a moment, then suddenly stood up and pointed at Charlotte Lane, You! Get up! Help me get back to my room! A glint of ferocity shed through Charlotte Lanes eyes. Harton rk also lifted his gaze to look at Gael Easton. After looking at Charlotte Lane for a while, Gael Easton said, Forget it. I suddenly remembered that youre married. Damn it! That lucky rk. Mr. Easton, let me assist you back to your room, Wilton Edwards stood up and propositioned. Alright, thank you, Wilton Edwards. Sophie Ortiz also followed them upstairs to lend a hand. Once Gael Easton left, the people at the dining table dispersed. L, assist Harton up the stairs first, Old Master Lane instructed. Alright. Charlotte Lane helped Harton rk to his feet. Seeing this, Andrew Lane also quickly stood up: Ive arranged a room for him, Ill lead you there. Charlotte Lane: Amelie Quentin blinked, first looking at her sister and then at Harton rk. Old Master Lane also raised an eyebrow but didnt say anything more. Andrew Lane led them upstairs and ran into Gael Easton, who was leaning against the wall by the guestroom door. Huh? Little Miss, why are you here again? Gael Easton said, leaning against the wall, And Harton rk, why are you two roaming around thiste at night instead of sleeping? To irritate you. Harton rk, standing next to Charlotte Lane, suddenly spat out two words. What?! Gael Easton immediately started ranting, Annoy me! You can annoy me! I dare you to try!
After his rant, Gael Easton lowered his voice slightly, as if muttering to himself: Oh, you can. You married Little Miss. Sophie Ortiz tidied up the guest room a bit more and came out to hear Gael Eastons words. She nced at her daughters nonchnt appearance, then looked towards Andrew Lane. The couple exchanged a meaningless nce. Little Miss, I just cant understand, where am I inferior to him? I met you first too. Gael Easton looked at Charlotte Lane, What on earth do you like about him?
We knew each other first. Harton rk suddenly interjected. His voice was faint and somewhat hoarse. Charlotte Lane: Why is she standing here listening to these two drunks? Lets go. Charlotte Lane led Harton rk away. Seeing Harton rk leaving, Gael Easton hurried up to him and said: Harton rk, dont get too cocky. If you dare mistreat her, Ill take her with me to M Continent. Youre married to her, and I dont want to snatch her away. But if you fail her, Ill take her away. Harton rk stopped in his tracks and even made Charlotte Lane halt, turning to look at Gael Easton. I dont mind if shes been married before. Gael Eastons eyes were unfocused, his voice dazed, But you cant treat her badly. Even though I cant beat you up physically, our Monarch Dynasty of M Continent isnt afraid of the rk Family. Charlotte Lane looked at Gael Easton, a tremor passing through her eyes. The Andrew couple and Wilton Edwards quietly watched the three of them. A group of servants in the corridor also turned their attention towards them. Harton rk looked at Gael Easton: I wont fail her. Dont hold your breath, you wont get your chance. Charlotte Lane: With so many people present, dont they feel any embarrassment? Are they okay? Lets all go to sleep.
The voice was not loud, but it was very cold. The three spectators upstairs snapped back to reality. The others hurriedly turned away. Ok, Gael Easton answered, immediately heading towards the guest room. Kevin rk also fell silent. Andrew Lane immediately led them to the guest room, and when he passed by Kevin rk, he purposely muttered, This Gael Easton is really good indeed. Hed make a great son-inw. Kevin rk furrowed his brows. Charlotte Lane: Sophie Ortiz stared at Andrew Lanes back and shot him an irate re. At the entrance of the guest room, Andrew Lane did not let Charlotte Lane enter. He helped Kevin rk in and told Charlotte Lane to return to her room. What happened next was even more outrageous. Fearing Kevin rk would go to Charlotte Lanes room in the middle of the night, Andrew actually stayed on guard at the base of the stairs. Charlotte Lane, in her room, didnt need to go out to know someone was in the living room.
After taking a bath, she sent Amelie Quentin a message: [Check if dad is in the living room, do me a favor and tell him to go to his room.] Amelie Quentin replied quickly: [What are you doing?] Charlotte Lane: [None of your business, kiddo.] Amelie Quentin: [Okay.] Amelie Quentin went downstairs, yfully enticed Andrew Lane away, and Charlotte Lane promptly went from her room to Kevin rks guest room. Andrew Lane, once Amelie Quentin returned to her room, went back to the living room. Finally, Sophie Ortiz, unable to take it anymore, told him off and made him return to his room. Are you out of your mind? Theyre a married couple, and yet youre making them sleep in separate rooms! Sophie Ortiz continued to berate him after she had returned to her room. What about it? So what if they are married? Can they do whatever they please because they are married! Andrew Lane countered, My daughter hasnt returned home for ten years, and the moment she does, that wastrel takes her away. It breaks my heart. Just looking at him makes me ufortable. Sophie Ortiz remained silent. Andrew Lane continued: I havent had the chance to hold and pamper my daughter properly, and shes someone elses now. Sophie Ortiz: Kevin treats Charlotte very well. Dont mention him to me.
Sophie Ortiz was toozy to deal with him. On the other side, Charlotte Lane went to Kevin rks room. When she entered, Kevin rk was already in bed, asleep, his clothes were not even taken off. But when he heard the footsteps, he quickly woke up. Seeing it was Charlotte Lane, he momentarily stared and said, Little miss? Yes. What brought you here? Kevin rk tried to hold her hand. To watch the spectacle of a drunk Third Master rk, Charlotte Lane responded tly. Kevin rk chuckled a bit and then sat up, saying, Dont go back tonight, okay? Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow. Three days Kevin rk whispered, I slept alone for three days. Third Master, this is my home, Charlotte Lane reminded him. I know. Kevin rk was drunk, but not as severely as the previous time; he could still think, although not too clearly, I wont do anything, I just want to hold you. Really? Sitting on the bedside table, Charlotte Lane teased, But we havent been together in several days. Not tonight. Looking at her hand, Kevin spoke in a low voice, I drank too much, I dont know how strong Id be. I dont want to hurt you. Charlotte Lane: Will you stay? Kevin rk asked, looking up at her. Upon witnessing the redness in the corner of Kevins eyes, the expectation in his gaze, the trace of pitiful helpless resignation, Charlotte Lane gently agreed. Kevin rk immediately chuckled, Ill go take a bath. Can you manage alone? Yes. Kevin rk stood up and kissed her, Lay down first, Ill be right back. Chapter 497: 440: Making Trouble Again Chapter 497: Chapter 440: Making Trouble Again At 5 AM, Andrew Lane brewed a cup of coffee and sat on the living room sofa, staring at Charlotte Lanes room. He had already nned that if he saw Kevin rk leaving his daughters room, he would get him drunk again tonight, drench him unconscious, and then dump him at the gateway of rk Manor in the middle of the night! Let him sleep on the streets! Then get a few media outlets so that he would be on the front page! As Andrew Lane sipped his coffee, he contemted his various strategies. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening from the other side. Immediateley he turned his head to look over. Then his eyes met with Charlotte Lanes who had juste out of Kevin rks room. Charlotte Lane did not want Andrew Lane to know that she had gone to Kevin rks room at night. She somewhat understood some of Andrew Lanes feelings. So, she wanted to return to her room early.
Unexpectedly at such a coincidence, she was caught red-handed. Andrew Lane also didnt expect this situation to happen now. He didnt expect that Kevin rk wouldnt go to his daughters room, but rather, his daughter went to Kevin rks room. How was he to handle this? He hadnt expected such a situation. The two viewed each other for two seconds from the upper and lower floors, then Andrew Lane first averted his gaze, lowered his head to drink his coffee, and also picked up the newspaper beside him, pretending he hadnt seen anyone. Charlotte Lane, seeing his reaction, lifted the corner of her mouth and leisurely returned to her room. Such a long distance, Charlotte Lane walked slowly, but all this time, Andrew Lane never looked up again. It wasnt until he heard Charlotte Lanes room door open and close again that he finally let out a long breath of relief. Ah it was a bit awkward. This Kevin rk he must have been a member of the Fairy n in his previous life to bewitch his daughter like this. After Charlotte Lane returned to her room and changed her clothes, she came downstairs. Andrew Lane didnt think she woulde down so soon. He was nning to finish his coffee and then retreat, but he didnt have time to do that. L, did you wake up? Andrew Lane warmly asked as though he saw her for the first time today, Why not sleep a little longer? Cant sleep anymore, Charlotte Lane responded, Dad, you woke up so early too. Andrew Lane smiled and said: I couldnt sleep either. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrow. Do you want some coffee? Andrew Lane inquired, Should I make some for you? Charlotte Lane nodded: Um.
Andrew Lanes mood immediately improved a lot, he got up and responded, Dad also knows how to makette art, do you want some? Um. No problem. Andrew Lane walked over to the coffee machine, with Charlotte Lane trailing behind him.
Charlotte Lane was watching his skilled operation from the side, thinking he would just make an ordinarytte art, but to her surprise, he depicted a cats head in the coffee. Moreover, it was very delicate. Charlotte Lane loved cats when she was a child. Dad, it looks so good that Im almost reluctant to drink it, said Charlotte Lane. No problem. If you like it, Dad will make it for you every day, Andrew Lane responded happily. Um. Charlotte Lane picked it up and took a sip. Andrew Lane looked at her expectantly, How is it? Its great. Andrew Lane felt immediately satisfied. Charlotte Lane apanied Andrew Lane all morning. Andrew Lane was happy, and now the sight of Kevin rk was a little more pleasing to him.
After eating breakfast, Gael Easton returned to M Continent. Andrew and his wife originally nned to see him off, but Gael Easton politely declined. So, in the end, it was Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane who apanied him to the airport. People that Gael Easton brought from the M Continent were also waiting for him at the airport. At the airport, Kevin rk took a phone call. Charlotte Lane spent some time alone with Gael Easton. What? Have you finallye to your senses? nning to ditch Kevin rk and let me take you away? Gael Easton joked. Charlotte Lane nced at him, speaking quietly, Gael Easton, lets keep our rtionship simple. What do you mean? You use me for my power, I use you for yours, Charlotte Lane responded, Were hooked by interests, lets not get emotional. Gael Eastons face twisted in shock, he couldnt believe his own ears, You little brat, youve gone too far. Wheres your conscience? When have you ever seen me with a conscience? Gael Easton was left speechless.
Wasnt our initial cooperation based on mutual use? said Charlotte Lane. Gael Easton was rendered speechless once again. Indeed. He didnt deny that he abandoned the idea of killing her because she was attractive. In addition to that, her abilities and influence were very strong. Which could provide great help to him in the future power struggle. But over the years, over the years there must be some feelings, right? As for Charlotte Lane, there were feelings indeed, but merely friendships. She always thought that Gael Easton was all talk. Because thats how he was when they first got to know each other. She didnt expect him to mean it. You little brat, youve crossed the line, Gael Easton pointed at her and said, Fine. Lets cut off contact. Contact me only when necessary. Alright. What do you mean alright! Gael Easton clutched his chest, Damn it! I feel sorry for Kevin rk now. How did he end up with such a cold-hearted woman like you. Eh? What are you doing? Getting my dues. Charlotte Lane looked down at her phone and said, Putting cold-hearted woman into practice.
Gael Easton thought she was going to delete him as a friend, surprisingly it was worse. He quickly said, Wait! Wait a minute! I can find another adjective. Mymand of Chinese isnt that good, let me think, let me think! Dont be impulsive, Fortune favours the peacemakers. After seeing Gael Easton off to the ne, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane went to the Research Institute. They spent the whole day at the Research Institute, had dinner outside at past seven in the evening, and then went to the hospital to visit William Lane. However, while they were in the hospital elevator, they received a phone call from Olivia Lane. Sister, where are you? Whats wrong? Check the inte. Olivia Lanes voice was filled with anger, A man just popped up online iming to have had an affair with udia Zane. Hes iming that udia Zane had been unfaithful when she was married. Charlotte Lane hadnt expected anyone would target udia Zane. She furrowed her brows and said, Alright. Ill check it. After hanging up, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk didnt go to the ward. Instead, they stayed outside and checked the news online. A man named Jack Thompson had released a video online. The person in the video looked drunk, his face was red and his speech was slightly slurred. My name is Jack Thompson, I was udia Zanes ssmate in university. I was also once good friends with Johannes Miles. I met with Johannes Miles a couple of days ago. Jack Thompson said, as he lifted his hand to wipe his face, I saw a once vibrant man now living a messy life. Miles Group has been suppressed, the Miles family has been ostracized, Mrs. Miles has been insulted, and their child has been deemed the child of a mistress. I didnt know the extent of the influence and damage that thewsuits back then had caused. As Jack Thompson spoke, he wiped away a tear: Seeing the state of their family, I couldnt bear it any longer. So, today, Im willing to lose face, I dont want to live a tormented life with an uneasy conscience anymore, I want to present the truth. Actually, udia Zane and I were together even before Johannes Miles and his present wife met. She said that Johannes Miles was so engrossed with his career that he neglected her. Because she was too lonely, we started an affair behind Johannes Miles back. Suddenly, Jack Thompson pped himself twice: Im not human, Im not human. I even snatched my good brothers wife. We were together for a year before Johannes Miles found out. To save our face, he didnt raise a big fuss about it. At that time, his old masters health wasnt good. Johannes Miles didnt want to worry his father, so they didnt get a divorce immediately. But at that time, udia Zane and Johannes Miles had already reached an agreement. Although they temporarily did not divorce, both of them would not interfere with each others rtionships. They nned for a peaceful divorce once his old masters health improved. So, theres no issue of who is the mistress, or who is the illegitimate child. Chapter 498: 441: Interviewed by a Reporter Chapter 498: Chapter 441: Interviewed by a Reporter After Dou Shaobais video was released, the heat rose rapidly. Each time it was refreshed, it ranked higher on the hot search list. Obviously, someone was pushing behind the scenes. The video seemed to be from Dou Shaobai, suffering from condemnation in his heart, getting drunk, and impulsively posting it. However although his face was flushed, and his speech was slightly slurred, the words in the video didnt sound like something a drunk person could say. His tone was too calm, and for a drunk person, the words were too fluent. It should have been prepared in advance. Holy shit! Look, look, look! Allonzo Hobsons voice suddenly came from the ward, This definitely isnt something someone can say when theyre drunk. This must be read from a script. Allonzos voice brought Charlotte Lane back to her senses, as she closed her cellphone and leaned against the wall. Harton rk held her hand and said, Miss, we need to find this person first. Olivia Lane blinked her eyshes, and then straightened her body as she entered the ward. It wasnt just Allonzo Hobson in the ward; Hugo rk and Olivia Lane were also there.
They all froze for a moment when they saw Charlotte Lane and Harton rk. Allonzo asked, Brook Sister, youve arrived? Yeah. Charlotte Lane looked at William Lane, seeing that his spirits were high, and asked, Where is theputer your assistant brought for you? Olivia Lane immediately looked at William Lane. The doctor told him to rest, but he kept worrying about work and the experiments at the Research Institute. He had asked family members for hisputer, but they refused. As a result, he had asked his assistant to sneak it in behind their backs. William Lane coughed lightly, knowing that Charlotte Lane needed theputer urgently, so he didnt hide it anymore. He said, Its in the bottom drawer of the cab. Olivia Lane immediately crouched down and took out theputer for Charlotte Lane. Then, she stood by the bedside with her hands on her hips, looking at William Lane. Seeing her like this, William Laneughed and said, Olivia Who is Olivia? I dont go by Olivia anymore. Olivia Lane stood with her hands on her hips, Today, I am called stubborn elder brother. William Laneughed again and said, I didnt use it much. Just dont bother Charlotte. I wont be disturbed. Charlotte Lane sat aside, typing on the keyboard without raising her head, Dont let him off easily. Settle the score well. Olivia Lanes momentum became even more intimidating. William Lane: Allonzo Hobsonughed and pped Hugo rk on the shoulder while sitting on the bed. Old rk, what does it feel like having two sisters? Hugo rk swatted away his hand and moved aside. He then patted his shirt. Allonzo Hobson: What a problem. Its you William Lane looked at them and said, Its happiness that none of you can experience. Harton rk was watching theputer screen in front of Charlotte Lane and heard him talking, saying, Just showing off. Allonzo Hobson agreed: Exactly.
At this coffee shop, Charlotte Lane erged the location found through GPS. Everyone immediately looked over. Send me the location, said Harton rk. Charlotte Lane sent him the location, then checked the time and said, This person has been at the coffee shop for too long. From 5 oclock in the afternoon until now.
Charlotte Lane tracked the person using GPS on their cellphone. The person remained in the same spot, so it was very possible that they had already left the coffee shop. Harton rk immediately arranged for someone to go and check: First, let someone take a look. How about the surveince in the coffee shop? asked Hugo rk. Theres no surveince. Charlotte Lane said, Not just the coffee shop, this whole street, only the street corner has a CCTV camera, and its like this. Several people gathered around, watching the dust-covered surveince footage with only tiny gaps visible: Damn, I didnt know there were ces like this in Imperial Capital. This is the old town area in the suburb. William Lane said. Charlotte nodded, checked the recent movement trajectory on Jack Thompsons cellphone, and looked up a few ces he had visited. She saw Johanes Miles and Jack Thompson in the surveince of a tea room. He has met Johanes Miles. Olivia Lane said. The biggest beneficiary of Jack Thompsons video is the Miles family. Hugo rk said. But we have no evidence, Charlotte Lane said, Its easy to deal with the Miles family. But what evidence do we have to shut up millions ofizens? And how to restore udia Zanes innocence.
No one spoke. udia Zane is no longer alive, and there is no one to confront about the past. No matter how they fabricate stories, Charlotte Lane has no evidence. Even this Daisy is fake. If the matter is taken seriously, her fake identity would only prove that udia Zane had an affair. Charlotte Lane rubbed her temples. Kevin rk stood behind her and touched her face from behind, There will always be a solution. William Lane nced at Kevin rks hand, and then looked away after a moment. Out of sight, out of mind. Uh do you want to see whats happening online now? Allonzo Hobson said, holding his cellphone, Johanes Miles got interviewed by a reporter. How did he get interviewed by a reporter? Olivia Lane frowned. It looks like its in front of Dance Associations entrance. Allonzo Hobson just saw a few screenshots online, but hadnt seen the video yet, Its said that Johanes Miles went to pick up Amelia Miles to go Home and bumped into a reporter at the entrance of the Dance Association. As he spoke, Charlotte Lane had already found the video of Johanes Miles being interviewed on herputer and clicked y.
Everyone quickly watched. When the reporter asked if the news on the inte was true, Johanes Miles looked confused in the video, as if he didnt know what was happening online. Then the reporter showed Johanes Miles the video Jack Thompson had posted. After watching, Johanes Miles was silent for a long time. Amelia Miles stood beside him, watching the video with a surprised look. After a while, she looked at Johanes Miles and called out, Dad? Johanes Miles suddenly came back to his senses. The reporter asked if the man in the video was telling the truth. Johanes Miles looked at the reporter and fell silent again for a moment. He suddenly pressed his eye socket and sighed with his head down, Its been so long, why bring it up again? The reporter asked, So you mean, what Jack Thompson said is true? If its true, why didnt yourwyer mention it when Daisy sued you? You epted the courts ruling and even made your home like this? I feel guilty towards Daisy; she is my daughter and has lived in Cold Green Vige for more than twenty years. I failed in my duty as a father. Johanes Miles said sorrowfully, Moreover, afterward, when udia Zanemitted suicide due to postpartum depression, I still felt guilty. I failed my child. I dont know how to make amends to her. And after telling the truth, what would you have the child do? How would Daisy think of her mother? Since you feel guilty, why didnt you bring Daisy back from Cold Green Vige back then? the reporter asked again. I tried. Johanes Miles sighed, My father and Jordan Ashton both wanted me to bring her back. I visited more than ten times. But her grandma insisted on raising the child herself, there was nothing we could do. So you let your wife, son, and daughter live with disgrace all their lives? The reporters points were all sharp.
It was Jordan Ashton who felt that Daisy was suffering too much. She thinks she is too bitter alone. Johanes Miles said, She said that our family has so many people that we can slowly improve our lives. Daisy is on her own At the end of his words, Johanes Miless eyes were wet and red. Amelia Miless eyes turned red as she cried and wiped her tears with her head down, facing away from the camera. Chapter 499: 442: Confronting Someone Chapter 499: Chapter 442: Confronting Someone [Are there really so many hidden facts in this matter? The Miles family is too benevolent.] [Damn, I didnt expect there to be a twist in this.] [The Miles Family is so miserable. Johanes Miles is a real man. Charles Hobson is also very good.] [Whatever they say, you believe it? How do you know this isnt a self-directed and self-acted y by the Johanes Miles family to prove themselves innocent? Look at these news, which one doesnt whitewash the Miles family?] [If its really like this, how could the Miles family swallow their humiliation for so long? I dont believe that they didnt want to rify it when Miles Group was suppressed to this extent today, and they rely on others to rify to tell the truth.] [Why cant it be true? Jack Thompson is obviously drunk and rifying out of guilt. Those who say that the Miles family is self-directed and self-acted are stupid Daisy Zane fans. Stupid fans get lost.] [Johanes Miless statement is full of loopholes, are you all blind, you believe everything.] [If both parties have long been non-interfering, how could there be Daisy Zane? Why did they have Jace Miles with Charles Hobson first, and then Daisy Zane with udia Zane?] [Jack Thompson said that he had been with Daisy Zane when Johanes Miles met Charles Hobson, is Daisy Zane Johanes Miless daughter?] [Wow, she might not be. Look who Daisy Zane looks like? They say daughters take after their fathers, but she doesnt look like Johanes Miles at all.] [Then she dare to go to the Miles familys recognition?]
[For money and for her own reputation. Its really possible that shes not. Otherwise, why wouldnt her grandmother let Johanes Miles take her back to Truro City.] [Then Johanes Miles is really pitiful. Divorcing from his wife. His wife is taken by his brother, and his childs identity is unknown and he is used by this unknown origin child after many years.] [So thats what type udia Zane is, I used to be sad for her a long time ago.] [Like mother like daughter, Daisy Zane couldnt be a good thing.] [Really wronged our Sophie. She has suffered so much and has always been scolded. All me the damn Daisy Zane.] [If its really as Johanes Miles said, whats the matter with the erasure of marriage records back then? The person involved was sentenced.] [Daisy Zane used the power behind it. The depth of the water behind her is the rk Family. Compared to this matter, the drama crew starting and stopping work are all trivial matters.] Online arguments are fierce. On one side are those who support Johanes Miles, and on the other side are those who support Daisy Zane. Charlotte Lane watched Johanes Miless video while thesements floated across the screen like barrage. They could feel Charlotte Lanes murderous intent getting heavier and heavier. L William Lane called her. Charlotte Lane closed theputer, then sighed softly, I just thought of a quick solution. Nobody spoke. Charlotte Lanes appearance right now was indeed a bit scary. Ill kill the whole Johanes Miles family. Charlotte Lane said, Then these people online choose a few to kill as an example. Otherwise Ill hack and paralyze all the websites, out of sight out of mind. Everyone looked at her, still no one spoke. Charlotte Lane turned to look at them, seeing them all determined to practice silence is golden to the end, she sighed again, I forgot, this is not Mountain Sea Continent.
Allonzo Hobson and William Lane breathed a sigh of relief. She just looked like she was really going to do it. We can take them to Mountain Sea Continent to kill. Kevin rk suddenly said. Others: ?????
What are you going to do? Its simplywless! Kevin rk rubbed Charlotte Lanes hair and said, Calm down. Take udia Zane and Daisy Zane out, the Miles family wont be able to run away. Charlotte Lane didnt have a better temper, but she had to restrain her impulsiveness. She had to return udia Zane and Daisy Zanes innocence. Before that, the Miles family had to be kept alive to clear their name. William Lane looked at Charlotte Lane, who had half of her murderous aura retracted, and thought: Kevin rk knew her too well. Not only did he understand her, he could also calm her down quickly. Now, Jack Thompson is the key. Hugo rk said. Hispany has been suffering heavy losses sincest year. Three days ago, 1 million suddenly appeared in his ount. Charlotte Lane had just checked, Cash deposit, 1 million. Miles Familys ount is short of 1 million? Allonzo Hobson asked. They are short of 2 million. Charlotte Lane said. Such a sneaky move. Allonzo Hobsonmented, This indirect transfer will not suffice as evidence. Finding Jack Thompson Charlotte Lane frowned, Even if he reveals the truth and clears our names, how many people will believe it? They wont be able to distinguish the truth from the lies in his words. They might even think Jack Thompsons rification is under my threat.
It still wouldnt exonerate them. But things were worse than they had imagined. Because they only found Jack Thompsons phone in the coffee shop, not the man himself. Moreover, Jack Thompson seemed to have vanished suddenly. He wasnt at hispany or at home. There were no records of him leaving at any bus station, train station, or airport either. The rk Family, Lane Family, and Celestial Pivot dispatched people overnight to search for him. They even secretly checked the ce where the Miles family was now staying, but found nothing. One night passed, and the situation did not progress. On the contrary, the online hot searches were updated rapidly. First was Jack Thompson, then Johanes Miles, Miles Family, Charles Hobson, and Amelia Miles all appeared on the hot search chart one after another. Daisy Zane and udia Zane had always been on the hot search chart. The next morning, Daisy Zanes background, rk Family, also appeared on the hot search chart. Even the long-silent news of the drama crew stopping work resurfaced.
As the online information was not controlled, some media outlets and self-proimed righteous people trying to gain traffic became increasingly active. They were all indignant. They couldnt wait to eat Daisy Zanes flesh and drink her blood. Charlotte Lane didnt return to the Lane family that night. After resting for one night, she calmed down a lot. She discussed with Melody Collins and Anisa Cooper and decided to respond on Facebook first. Otherwise, people would really think she was guilty and chose to remain silent. So Charlotte Lane logged in to Facebook. ThenMelody Collins encountered the Nth obstacle of her career. First, Charlotte Lane reposted Jack Thompsons video and wrote: [So good at spreading rumors, stop pretending to be missing. Come out and ept your fatherswyers letter.] Then she reposted the video of Johanes Miles being interviewed and wrote: [Sounds so nice. Werent you the one who called me for help? Good thing I recorded it, let everyone enjoy it.] After that, she started reposting hot search posts fromizens who scolded Daisy Zane and udia Zane. Each time she reposted a post, she would add a wittyment to counter the person: [You sound so sure, did you witness the incident back then?] [Give me your address, Ill send you some walnuts.]
[You analyze so logicallygood thing youre not a detective, or youd have wronged many people.] [I know youre an elementary school student, sogo do your homework.] [Does leeching off my traffic smell good? Wait for me to sue you.] [Which paid troll do you work for? How much did they pay you? Having you repeat the same sentence in eleven differentment sections.] [My background is big? Yeah, I am lucky. Are you jealous?] Chapter 500: 443: Ruined Reputation Chapter 500: Chapter 443: Ruined Reputation When Charlotte Lane posted Facebook, she was on her way to the Research Institute. She was sitting in the back of the car, sending post after post, with Harton rk beside her, and his cell phone kept ringing. Every time she posted, Hartons phone would ring. Harton turned down the volume on his phone and didnt pay attention to her. Because he could easily see every word Charlotte typed by just ncing over. He watched her type a very rude sentence, then delete it and rece it with a milder one. This was a temporary solution, so she vented her anger on Facebook. Even using words like your daddy was allowed. She went head-to-head with a group ofizens, which was probably a first in this circle. So Charlottes phone kept receiving messages. As she posted on Facebook, messages from Hill Dawson poured in, one after another. Harton saw a notification saying that three photos had been sent, and then Hill sent a message saying, Ive got the knife to my throat already!
You see! Its already there! If I see one more post on your Facebook, youll only see me in your dreams! Probably fearing that she wouldnt see theplete message, Hill deliberately divided his words into separate messages. Charlotte sent another message, then clicked on Hills message and said, Hold on, this is thest one. After sending the message, she clicked into Facebook, uploaded an audio recording, and added a specific date. It was a phone call recording from April 15thst year. Having uploaded the recording, she tagged Johaness Miles, Miles Group, and Charles Hobson. Then she said, Its only been over three months since April 15th this year. Wishing you all sweet dreams every night in the future. After posting on Facebook, Charlotte pinned this post to the top. Harton recalled the content of the recording; although it didnt explicitly point out anything, it could sway public opinion. Moreover, she wasnt just venting online; her actions served as evidence that she was in the right in this matter. udia Zane was innocent, so she could confront others unscrupulously. She couldnt shut everyone up, but she could give confidence to those who believed in her. Upon arriving at the Research Institute, Harton and Charlotte both entered theboratory. Meanwhile, the online hot search got even hotter. First, it was Daisy Zanes scolding that made the hot search, followed by the recording. In the recording, Johanes Miles voice sounded exhausted and even dejected. Daisy Zane, what on earth do you want? We can negotiate whatever you want. As long as you drop thewsuit and clear the online news, we can discuss whether you want shares or want to return to the Miles Family. But Daisy Zanes voice was, as always, cold, calm, and indifferent: Is there a throne to inherit in the Miles Family? I would want to return to the Miles Family, but do you think your family is worthy? Johanes Miles said, So what do you want? Whats the benefit of the Miles Family copsing and the Miles Group going down for you?
Daisy Zane replied, What do I care about the fate of your Miles Family? I want to clear udia Zanes name, a name that has been tarnished for 26 years. Johanes Miles suddenly yelled, Its been so many years since everything happened! Why do you have to bring it up again! Daisy Zane, still in a calm tone, said, If you didnt want it to be brought up, you shouldnt have done such despicable things back then. Your Miles Family and the Hobson Family bullied udia Zane because she didnt have a powerful background. You were sure she couldnt do anything to you, so you felt justified in doing those unconscionable things. After more than twenty years, you think no one will know, and you keep throwing dirt on her. Now that the truth is revealed, are you afraid? Well, let me tell you, its toote. Johanes Miles was silent for a moment, his voice softening again, I can give you shares, twice as many as Johanes Sophie. The extra share will bepensation for you and your mother.
Daisy Zane sneered, Johaness Miles, have you forgotten something? Jace Miles is the illegitimate child. Charles Hobson ister. The Miles Family should have been inherited by Daisy Zane. Daisy Zane continued, Johanes Miles, do you know what day it is today? Johanes Miles asked, What day is it? April 15th, udias anniversary of death. On the Memorial Day, we should always offer something to the deceased to appease their souls. After Daisy Zane finished this sentence, the breathing of Johanes Miles in the recording became obviously disordered. Otherwise, why do you think Im holding evidence in my hand but not saying anything to rify when you nder me as an illegitimate daughter again and again? Daisy Zanes voice rang again, Ive been waiting for this day. She has been wronged for more than twenty years. After so many years, its necessary to choose an important day to clear her grievances. As soon as the recording came out, the public opinion shifted significantly. Johanes Miles was obviously guilty in the recording, and although it was not explicitly stated, he admitted the injustice of udia and her innocence. It was apletely different attitude from yesterdays interview. In yesterdays interview, Johanes Miles acted like we cant let the children suffer too as if he didnt care about the Miles Group. But in the recording, Johanes Miles took the Miles Group too seriously and even begged Daisy Zane. Taking an apologetic attitude toward udia yesterday, he even couldnt remember udias anniversary of death on the 15th of April.
Many things cant stand scrutiny. The recording is not conclusive evidence, but it has nted a seed of doubt in everyones mind. Who is right and who is wrong Its hard to make a conclusion. Manyizens have regained their rationality, but there are still many people who choose to believe Johanes Miles side. But the more they find reasons to believe Johanes Miles in thements section. The moreizens feel like they are paid trolls. They are controlling thements. Because Daisy Zanes words about paid trolls on Facebook have made people start to slowly doubt Emily Lanes statement. Moreover, just when everyone was discussing the issue online, Jack Thompsons wife posted a statement online. She said that Jack Thompson had disappeared since yesterday afternoon, could not be contacted, and had already reported to the police. One thing after another happening leftizens bewildered. And soon the issue was divided into two camps. One side doubted Johanes Miles, and the other side doubted Daisy Zane.
The entire Miles family is now staying in the Imperial Capital, and since the news broke yesterday, everyone at home has been paying attention to online news. Since the recording appeared online, the Miles family began to panic a little. She actually recorded it! Johanes Miles pped the sofa and said. Its not a big problem. Old Master Miles said, There is no specific direction in the recording, and it doesnt count as evidence. We canpletely say that we wanted to reconcile at first, but it was Daisy Zane who wanted to cut off all ties. Its not irreparable yet. Grandfather is right. Amelia Miles said, This has only caused a shift in public opinion, but without evidence, Daisy Zane cannot solve this issue. Right. Old Master Miles said, Tomorrow, release her photos again. As long as her reputation is ruined, the rk family will not always protect her. Now the rk family is hot-searched, and theyve been criticized all the time, thats enough for the rks to dislike her. As long as the rk family abandons her, it will be much easier to deal with Daisy Zane alone. Amelia Miles said softly, All the identities of Flynn Ninevara and yson Ninevara are not worth mentioning. Yes. A calcting look filled Old Master Miles eyes, For the Miles family to rise again, we not only need to restore their reputation but also need to get rid of Daisy Zane, otherwise, she will always be a stumbling block for the Miles family. Johanes Miles nodded. Old Master Miles was silent for a while and then said, Keep a close eye on Jack Thompson. When the storm has passed, send him abroad. Old Master Miles looked at Amelia Miles and said, Amelia, its easier to send a living person abroad than to deal with a corpse. Once abroad, many things will be more convenient, and it will have nothing to do with us anymore. I understand, Grandfather.
Chapter 501: 444: He’s just like Jack Amos. Chapter 501: Chapter 444: Hes just like Jack Amos. Around six in the afternoon, Uncle Edwards picked up Charles Amos from Court Music Academy. Seeing that several new cars had joined their convoy, Charles Amos, feeling somewhat anxious, asked, Grandpa Edwards, has something happened again? Its because of the messages online, said Uncle Edwards, holding on to Charless hand, Third Master is worried that someone might use you against miss, so he has ced some extra guards. Having seen the messages online, Charles frowned slightly at Edwards words, Has it not been resolved yet? Third Master and miss know what theyre doing. Uncle Edwards helped Charles get into the car, The cars following us have been modified for performance but look ordinary. This keeps our profile low. Hmm. Did you find your sses tiring today? Not tiring. But todays song was kind of tough. As Charles spoke, he looked outside at the passing city, Uncle Driver, are we taking Heriken Road today? Yes, the driver responded. I want to buy coffee from the coffee shop across from the Night View Hotel, Charles turned to Edwards, Sister Lily is visiting rk Manor today. She really loves the coffee and desserts from there.
Alright, Uncle Edwards said warmly, Ill apany you. The cars pulled over one by one into the parking spaces in front of the coffee shop. Charles exited the car, opened the door for Uncle Edwards, and they then made their way toward the coffee shop together. Just as they had arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop, an electric vehicle came hurtling toward them. The vehicle was too fast and too close C it didnt leave either of them any time to react. The guards of the rk Family, who had confirmed the safety of the surroundings before they got out of the car, werent close enough for a timely response. No one had expected the danger toe from an electric vehicle. Uncle Edwards, noticing the vehicle, instinctively hugged Charles and darted sideways. But, in his haste, he dodged in the wrong direction, cing them in the path of the vehicle. The suddenness of it all terrified the bystanders; those who were closer intended to help, while the ones further off screamed in panic. Grandpa Edwards! Charles yelled in distress. The child driving the electric vehicle, gripped the handles tightly in fear, increasing the speed of the vehicle with his crying. Uncle Edwards shielded Charles, thinking to himself: Were done for. If we fall and get crushed, wed be bedridden for at least a month. But the expected collision didnt ur. The electric vehicle was stopped. The child on the vehicle was hoisted up, and Uncle Edwards was steadied. Uncle Edwards regained his footing, neglecting everything else, he first checked on Charles. Grandpa Edwards! Are you hurt anywhere? a worried Charles asked urgently. Im alright. Im okay, Edwards answered, relieved that Charles was unharmed. He nced at the electric vehicle lying at his feet, then turned to the man who was holding the child, Thank you, sir. The man was wearing a duckbill cap. His head bowed low, only his chin and thin lips were visible. On hearing Edwards, he shook his head gently, then turned a little tofort the child in his arms. Charles, held by Uncle Edwards, watched the man intently.
Sir, I am deeply grateful for your actions today, Uncle Edwards continued his gratitude. Without speaking, the man kept shaking his head. It wasnt until the mother of the child came running over that Uncle Edwards ceased his thanks. The woman witnessed the entire incident and was desperately rushing towards them. She had left the electric vehicle unattended while she was talking to someone and the child had gone back inside the vehicle.
Upon noticing the child had wandered off, she immediately gave chase. But, the ident still happened. She took the child from the man, apologized profusely, and seeing therge number of bodyguards at the scene, she got all the more anxious. Setting Charles down, Uncle Edwards didnt say much, only advising, Be more careful next time. With the child being so small, getting hurt would cause pain for the child and also heartache for the parents. Though there were many onlookers, the rk Family bodyguards managed to clear the crowd. The woman, holding her crying child, kept apologizing. The man in the duckbill cap was about to leave. But as he took a step, his sportswear was tugged at. He looked down, to see Charless little hand gripping it tightly. Charless grip tightened. Seeing this, Uncle Edwards assumed that Charles wanted to thank the man and told the woman a few words before sending her away. The rk Family bodyguards even helped the woman upright the electric vehicle, and escorted them for a while. Sir, I truly cant thank you enough for today, Uncle Edwards offered his business card, This is my contact information. Please dont hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything. Or Grandpa Edwards, Charles suddenly interrupted Uncle Edwards, I saw his face.
Uncle Edwards was taken aback. Charles was very understand, and empathetic. The man was clearly wearing a duckbill cap because he didnt want anyone to see his face. So Edwards didnt immediately figure out what Charles was saying. As the man was about to leave, Charles tightened his grip, You cant leave. The more you try to, the guiltier you look! Charles had pulled his clothes out of shape before saying, Grandpa Edwards. He looks just like Jack Amos! Man: Damn this kids eyesight. What? Uncle Edwards asked. He looks just like Jack Amos, Charles repeated his words. Uncle Edwards froze. He was there when Edward Kirsten killed Jack Amos. Youre not leaving. Charles pulled hard at his clothes, Everyone here works for me, so you cant escape! Have you heard of the Imperial City rk Family? Even if you run, well catch you. Man: My moms really powerful, shell find you in no time, Charles stated.
The man gave up on the idea of running, and looked down at Charles. He had just seen them walk into the store and had originally nned to leave. But then he saw the electric vehicle charging towards the two of them. Without giving it another thought, he put on his hat and ran out. He didnt anticipate this little brat being so observant. If he escaped today, the rks and Enigma Starry would scour the entire Imperial Capital for him tomorrow. Rather than that, it would be better to bribe this little terror. Im not running. Lets talk about it in the store, said the man. Wilton Edwards looked stunned, but upon hearing that familiar voice, his pupils still trembled. The rks were keeping watch outside the coffee shop, while the three of them went inside. Once the man had entered the shop, he removed his hat. Upon seeing his face, Wilton Edwards began to tremble a little. You, you he stuttered. Uncle Wilton, I didnt die. Jack Amos smiled slightly. Charles Amos looked at him, his little eyebrows gradually raising.
You, but you Wilton Edwards was too shocked to finish his sentence. I guess I just have a knack for survival. Jack Amos said. Twice he had been reported dead, but both times he hadnt. Why are you staring at me like that? Jack Amos looked at Charles Amos. Charles crossed his arms and red at him, Mom missed you. She really, really missed you. But you chose to hide away. I had something to do, Jack Amos said. What?! I cant say. Charles Amos narrowed his eyes, Liar. Youre making excuses! Jack Amos squinted back at him, Is this how you talk to me? Charles Amos lost a bit of his bluster. You little brat, Jack Amos replied. Charles Amos stared at him, considered his words, and chose not to refute them. Seeing that he had quieted down, Jack Amos turned to Wilton Edwards, Dont tell Enigma Starry or I guess now you should call her Daisy. Dont tell her yet. Why not? The youngdy would be overjoyed to hear that youre alive Wilton Edwards said. I still have a few things to handle, Jack Amos exined, She has a lot on her te. Lets not give her more to worry about. When the timees, Ill see her. Wilton Edwards felt that Jack Amos was trying to hint at something. It was as if he didnt know if he would survive, so he didnt want to let her know and cause her to grieve again. Uncle Wilton, we all want her to be happy, right? Jack Amos continued. Wilton Edwards looked at him for a moment, and after a while, he nodded, Fair enough. You should see her when the timees. Alright. Having resolved one issue, Jack Amos turned to the other. You are not allowed to say anything either. Why not? Charles Amos asked, a touch of arrogance in his tone. Jack Amos looked at him. This little troublemaker was as difficult to deal with as a certain person had been when they were a child. Dont you want mom to be happy? Charles didnt say anything, tacitly conceding the point. If you want mom to be happy, then you wont say anything. Why not? Charles asked again. Jack Amos: Jack Amos: Never you mind what adults have to do. Oh, okay then. Charles agreed. Just make sure you do as you say, Jack Amos warned. Mmhm, Charles replied softly. Good, Jack Amos said, Go tell the waiter what youd like to drink. Are you treating? Charles asked. Mmhm. Ill treat. Charles immediately went to order something. He stood at the ordering desk and pointed out what he wanted to eat and drink. Then he turned to look at Jack Amos, who was still talking to Uncle Wilton. Various memories suddenly resurfaced in his mind. Like how a certain cell phone back at home would regrly receive updates on his whereabouts. Considering the content of the texts on the phone, Charles essed the chat box of Charlotte Lane with a few taps. Charlotte Lane had just finished an experiment with Kevin rk when she received the message. Her phone was flooded with messages due to something that happened online, but Charles message stood out right away. Charles sent her a location. Followed by two characters: [Come immediately.] Chapter 502: 445: Little Bunny Brat Chapter 502: Chapter 445: Little Bunny Brat Return to Rose Garden or rk Manor. Kevin rk took off his whiteb coat and asked Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane looked at the location Charles Amos had sent her and asked, Why isnt the Lane Family an option? Kevin rk looked at her without speaking. Charlotte Lane looked up at him, saw his somewhat pitiful look, and showed him her cell phone, saying, Lets go find Charles first. Kevin rk also took a look at the location: What happened? Why did he suddenly ask us to go there? I dont know, there must be something going on. Could it be dangerous? Kevin rk noticed that she was quite calm, so it didnt seem like there was any danger. No. Charlotte Lane checked other messages and still had no news from Jack Thompson. If there is any danger, his message would be followed by two exmation marks. Kevin rk chuckled, Lets go check it out then. Okay.
At this time in the Imperial Capital, traffic was heavy, and it was hard to speed up. Charles Amos was in a coffee shop, leisurely eating cake and taking his time. Wilton Edwards didnt rush him, as this was the first time Charles could remember seeing his father, and it was inevitable hed be curious about him. Simrly, although Jack Amos had seen Charles many times from afar in Imperial Capital, this was the first time they had met face to face since Charles had grown up. This was the child he had with Harris Kirsten The child she had spent her life caring for So as they spent time together, they inadvertently lost track of time. Charles hadnt returned yet, so Tom Wayne called. As Charles continued to eat his cake, he put his cell phone on the table, turned on the speakerphone, and answered, Grandmother. Tom Waynes voice came from the cell phone, Charles, where are you? Jack Amos eyshes quivered slightly as he looked at Charles phone. Grandma, Im at a coffee shop, and Ill be back soon. Charles said, Ill bring some cake home for you. Alright. Tom Wayne replied, Your grandmother will be waiting for you at home. Mmm. After hanging up, Charles noticed Jack Amos had been staring at his phone, so he asked, What are you looking at? Do you like your grandparents? Yes, Charles said, I also like Uncle and Aunt Brown, and my elder brothers and sisters. Jack Amos smiled, knowing that his family would not be hard on the child. Arent you going back? Jack Amos asked.
Charles looked at him, his eyes full of sincerity, Can I stay a little longer? Why? Charles looked down, poking the cake with a fork, I dont know when the next time well see each other is, you dont seem to want to see me. Wilton Edwards watched Charles from the side, feeling that there was something odd about him, but couldnt quite put his finger on it.
Its not that I dont want to see you. Jack Amos suddenly felt like hed hurt the child, I have some unfinished business and its inconvenient to see you all. If you never finish, will you never see us? Charles looked up at him and asked. Jack Amos was quiet without a response. In everyones eyes, he was a dead man, and his parents, siblings, and children were all living well. If he didnt see them, he could do anything without worry. No emotional ties would hold him back. Because in others hearts, he had long been dead. And now, with his appearance as it is, he didnt know how to face his family. Todays encounter was unexpected. Fortunately, Wilton Edwards didnt have any emotional attachment to him. And Charlesprobably didnt have any concrete concept of what a father should be like. As long as he could appease the two of them, everything would be fine. Although the little kid was not easy to deal with, he cared a lot about Enigma Starry. As long as he said good things about Enigma Starry, there would be no problems. However, he didnt expect the child to have his own ideas. He had his own thoughts about what was good for his mother. Charles Amoss words sessfully kept Jack Amos from telling him to leave. So Charles stayed at the coffee shop for almost two hours.
When Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk arrived, Jack Amos was ying chess with Charles and didnt notice peopleing from outside. So Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk entered the store smoothly. Charless seat was directly facing the entrance, and when he saw Charlotte Lane, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up from his seat. Jack Amos was concentrating on ying chess with him and took a moment to react. Seeing his eyes suddenly brighten, he subconsciously turned around and looked back. His gaze met Charlotte Lanes. Charlotte Lane stopped in her tracks, her cold and casual eyes suddenly fixed on Jack Amos, her pupils dting bit by bit, and even her hands hanging by her side began to tremble gradually. As she looked at the man in front of her, the scene of that rainy night gradually surfaced in her mind. She saw the reflecting dagger stab Jack Amoss body again and again with her own eyes. When pulled out, it was covered with blood, cleansed by the rain and then stabbed into the body again. The blood on the ground mixed with the rainwater, flowing together to the low-lying area. Edward Kirstens demonic voice echoed in her ears. Jack Amos was also stunned, even somewhat shocked by thepletely unexpected scene before him. Kevin rk also looked at Jack Amos, tensing for a moment. But after noticing Charlotte Lanes trembling, he subconsciously squeezed her hand andforted her.
Charles walked to Charlotte Lanes side, gently pulling on her clothes. Charlotte Lane blinked gently, but her eyes remained fixed on Jack Amos. Wilton Edwards looked at Charles and immediately knew his series of actions just now were to dy time. He stood up and said, Third Master, Lady. Charlotte Lane looked at him, paused, and then looked at Jack Amos again. It took her a while to find her voice: You Jack Amos came back to his senses, stood up, and looked at them. When not seeing him, it was fine, but when facing each other like this, all the emotions surged forth. It felt like yesterday when he called Kevin rk, talking about his next homing day. It also felt like yesterday when he and Enigma Starry were sitting together, discussing why Jack Kingsley loved to cry so much. He controlled himself not to look at Kevin rk but looked at Charlotte Lane, slightly smiling, and said, Enigma. Charlotte Lanes eyshes trembled, and as she stared at Jack Amos, her tears inexplicably fell. Kevin rk heard his voice, and his eyes instantly turned red. Jack Amos reached out to wipe away Charlotte Lanes tears but stopped as he lifted his hand, realizing that she had grown up and married. His actions were no longer appropriate. He put his hand down and tried to make his tone sound lighter, saying, The person who started the attack was one of my own, and thest stab was deliberately off target. But those thirty-two knives, they were all stabbed solidly into his body. Even a few might have touched nerves.
Even if he didnt die, recovering to his current state might have taken several years. And he didnt know how much suffering he had to endure. Charlotte Lane found herself unable to speak, and she rarely had such emotional moments. She could only nod in response. Jack Amos took a few tissue papers from the table and handed them to her, Alright, dont cry anymore. You wont be pretty if you keep crying. Kevin rk took the tissue papers from his hand and wiped Charlotte Lanes tears. No way, my mom is the prettiest, Charles murmured softly. As soon as he spoke, Jack Amos immediately looked at him. That look, as if to cut off his own future. Only now did he realize that he had fallen into Charless trap, with his pity and chess-ying all intentional. Charles immediately hid behind Charlotte Lane, grabbing her clothes, loudlyining, Mom, he wouldnt let me tell you Ive seen him before! Jack Amos: Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane both looked at Jack Amos. Jack Amos coughed lightly, not looking at the two of them, especially Kevin rks angry eyes. He suspected the kid might have discovered something. Otherwise, just by a simr voice, he shouldnt have recognized him. Chapter 503: 446: Too Coincidental Chapter 503: Chapter 446: Too Coincidental Ever since the rk family stood outside the coffee shop, a couple hade in to buy coffee and left as soon as they finished their purchase. So besides the shop assistant, it was just them inside. Jack Amos looked at Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane, both with red eyes, and hesitated before asking, I read online that you got married. Is this your husband? Charlotte Lane took a light breath, but due to her emotional agitation, her throat was dry and sore, so she just nodded in the end. Jack Amos turned to Kevin and smiled a little, extending his hand politely, Jack Amos. How should I address you? Kevin threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can, nced at Jacks hand, then looked up at him, his voice icy, Dont you recognize me? Charlotte tilted her head to look at him, some confusion in her eyes. Jack felt his heart skip a beat. He swallowed, but couldnt find the words for a moment. Kevin rubbed his fingertips together and said, Change your tone before pretending you dont know me and testing me. Charlotte gently frowned.
Wilton Edwards was also a little confused. I Jack couldnt finish his sentence. Because Kevin made a move. With a bang, Jack took a punch and bumped into the table behind him. Charles Amos was startled. Kevin stepped forward, grabbing Jacks cor, his hoarse voice saying, Why the hell are you alive and not going home! Charlottes words of intervention died on her lips, and she silently watched the two of them. Charles face was full of confusion, his eyes wide. Wilton was too. The shop assistant saw Jack get hit and wanted to help, but hearing Kevins words, he stopped as well. Jack held Kevins wrist and sighed softly, Kevin Hearing these two words, Kevins eyes turned even redder, even bloodshot. He gripped Jacks cor tightly, stared at the man in front of him, then let go, taking a step back. He turned around, took Charlottes hand, and left the coffee shop. Charles stood in ce, staring at his empty little hand. He then looked at the two people who had walked some distance away, epting the fact that he had been abandoned. Jack straightened his body, rubbing his sore lower back from hitting the table, and touched his bruised mouth corner. Charles looked at him, casting him a sympathetic gaze, then said, Ive never seen Uncle rk so angry. Jack looked at him, hesitated, and said, Little brat, sooner orter I have to give you aplete childhood. Charles pouted and inched closer to Wilton.
Kevin took Charlotte back to the car. He opened the copilots door, let her in, and closed the door. But then he walked around to the drivers seat himself and opened the door before closing it again. He pulled Charlotte down from the copilots seat, opened the rear door, and had her sit in the back seat. Then he sat down in the back from the other side.
Charlotte blinked her reddened eyes and nced at Kevin. She felt Kevins vulnerability for the first time. But this vulnerability wasnt like what came from the man sitting beside her now. It was as if something had torn him apart, and the vulnerability came from the long-gone teenager. Kevin rk Kevins eyshes trembled slightly, then he held Charlotte in hisp. He buried his face in her shoulder and held her tight. Kevin held her tightly. For a moment, Charlotte felt like he was an abandoned child. After a while, she raised her hand, her fingers threading through Kevins hair, gently caressing his head. She didnt say anything, nor did she ask, but she peacefully stayed with him, letting him hold her. After a long time, the sky outside hadpletely darkened, and the surrounding neon lights all lit up. Kevin slowly loosened his grip, but he didnt look up. Did I hurt you? Kevins voice was muffled and hoarse. No.
When Kevin had helped her in and out of the car, he had controlled his strength and didnt hurt her. Though he had hugged her tightly just now, it wasnt painful for her. Little Girl Hmm. Charlotte responded softly, then paused before adding, Im here. Kevin fell silent for a moment before asking, Do you remember my Second Brother Davis? Charlotte confirmed her suspicion, knowing Jacks identity. She said, No. When I was little, I only saw photos of him, andter I only saw photos. But I remember when he came back. Because, during that time, you hadnt been to my house in a long time. Kevin chuckled and looked up at her. His eyes were very red, rarely this red, and the corners of his eyes were moist. It seemed as if he had cried, but Charlotte knew that he hadnt. Jack is Edward North. Kevin caressed Charlottes face and said, Hes my Second Brother. Charlotte had guessed already. From the moment he asked Jack why he didnt go home, she had thought of Edward North. Because the rk Family was missing this one person, and there werent many people who could make Kevin so emotional. However, she still found it difficult to ept, even to believe. You guessed it, right? Kevin said.
Yes. Charlotte fell silent for a while and then said, His appearance She thought about the attitude Kevin had when mentioned Jack before, treating him like a stranger. How did you find out? Charlotte asked. My Father discovered it. Kevin leaned back and touched under her red-rimmed eyes, The letter he wrote to Charles Amos had the same handwriting as my Second Brothers. And Charles Amos increasingly looks like me. So my parents and Charles did a parent-child identification. The child is not mine, nor my Big Brothers, and my parents dont have any other children. Although the appearance doesnt match, the handwriting does. Charlotte fell silent for a while again, looking at Kevin and asking, When did this happen? Kevin thought for a moment and said, Not long after you returned to the drama crew after the New Year. Charlotte suddenly remembered that when she was in the drama crew, Kevin, without even wearing a coat, drove to find her. His mood was off that day, but he wouldnt tell her why. He didnt say because he was afraid she would feel guilty, afraid she would feel sorry for his family. Charlotte fell silent once more. Jack was Edward North. She had lived with Edward North for several years in Continent A. The two families were close, but when Charlotte was born, Edward North had already gone to serve in the military and was often not at home.
So Edward North had never actually seen Charlotte. But Charlotte had seen his photos, although his appearance had changed. Looking down at Kevins hand holding her fingers, she thought, so Charles was Kevins biological nephew. So Charles didnt resemble Kevin. He didnt resemble any of his parents either; he resembled Edward North, who hadnt had a change in appearance. Does Charles know? Charlotte asked. Never told him. Charlotte still found it hard to ept that all these things were just too coincidental. Chapter 504: 447: Two Little Rabbits Chapter 504: Chapter 447: Two Little Rabbits In the coffee shop. Jack Amos, Wilton Edwards, and Charles Amos returned to their seats. Jack Amos rubbed his lower back and looked at Charles Amos across the table. Charles yed chess by himself, his facial expression alternating between guilt and self-righteousness. Call your Uncle rk and ask him toe back, Jack Amos said to him as he watched his face change for the nth time. Why? Why do you always ask why? Charles Amos looked at him and did not speak. Either you make the call, or I hit you, Jack Amos said. Why are you like this? Charles frowned and said, When other fathers and sons meet, they cry their hearts out, like they want to give the whole world to him, they like him so much. But you, you just want to hit me when we meet.
Jack said, Did I make the first move? It was me, Charles admitted. Jack raised his eyebrows. Charles picked up the cell phone and called Kevin rk, then put it on speakerphone. Kevin quickly answered the call on the other end, but did not say anything. Charles said, Uncle rk, you left me here. Wilton Edwards, the driver, and the bodyguard are with you, he replied. But, but Charles looked at Jack and said, the other person with thest name Amos said he wanted to hit me. Jack Amos: Kevin rk was silent for a moment and then said, Ill call the police for you. Charles Amos: Jack Amos chuckled, Where are you? Kevin didnt say anything after hearing his voice. Come back, Ill take you to eat something delicious. Kevin rk: Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rk. No one spoke. Charlotte Lane said, Well be back right away. Okay. Jackughed.
Less than three minutes after hanging up the phone, Charlotte brought Kevin back. Kevins eyes were no longer red, and he was no longer angry, just silent. Looking at his state, Jackughed and said, What do you want to eat? Ill take you. Im thirty years old now, Kevin reminded quietly.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows andughed. Kevin raised his hand and rubbed her head, Be good. Jack looked at Charlotte and then at Kevin, Why bring up your age all of a sudden? Youre forty-two, Kevin replied mercilessly. Jack: This time, Charlotte didntugh out loud but turned to Wilton Edwards and Charles Amos and said, Charles, lets take Grandpa Edwards and go to eat something delicious. Kevin: Okay. Charles pulled Wiltons hand and walked towards the door, I want chocte ice cream. Mm. Kevin caught Charlottes hand, Dont eat too much cold stuff. Charlotte pretended not to hear, and walked away with Charles. At the entrance, she said to Charles, You pay. Why are you like this? Am I like this just today?
The two men in the shop watched the childish and nutrient-free talk and saw the three leave. Charlotte took Charles to the ice cream shop next door. Wilton Edwards sat with them for a while, then the driver took him back. As Charlotte and Charles ate ice cream, she told him about Jack being Finn rks son. Charles eyes widened, Hes Second Uncle Davis! Charlotte: No, Uncle rk is Third Uncle, Charles said, So, Grandfather and Grandmother are rted by blood. Mm. No wonder Grandma was holding me and crying that day, Charles said, I thought it was because Uncle rk had upset her. Charlotteughed a little. Charles was silent for a while and then asked, Can I not call him Third Uncle? Charlotte looked at him. He is Mr. rk, Charles whispered. Charlottes expression paused for a moment and then said, Its up to you.
The two of them finished their ice cream and sat in the store for a while before returning to the coffee shop. Kevin rk and Jack Amos were getting along peacefully. Charles also brought some ice cream for them. Werent you going to eat something delicious? Charles asked, What are you eating? How can three adults let a child go hungry for so long? Jack pointed to the two empty dessert boxes in the trash can, Who ate these? Im not full. Whose poor family is it that has met such a little foodie like you? said Jack Amos, and then added, Oh, mine. Kevinughed a little. Jack said, They are having a barbecue in the back of the shop, want to eat? Kevin looked at Charlotte. Charlotte said, Mm. The three adults took the child to the back of the shop. In addition to the barbecue, Jack also asked the Doomsday Hotel to send a lot of other food. When are we going home? Kevin asked.
Jack took a sip of beer and hesitated before saying, Dont tell our family for now. Why? Kevin asked. Jack heard him ask why, frowned and instinctively looked at Charles. Charles was biting on a mutton skewer. When he saw him looking, he bit down on the stick, showing a row of small teeth and smiling at him. Jack looked away, furrowed his eyebrows, and suddenly didnt know how to exin it to Kevin. Telling him that not only had his appearance changed, but he had also gotten himself into such a state. His parents used to take great pride in their son, who was once full of achievements, but now he had fallen to such a level. Also what he was doing now was very dangerous. He didnt want his parents to bear the pain of losing their son twice. Seeing his expression, Kevin seemed to understand his predicament and said, I know. Jack looked at Kevin, smiled, and clinked beer sses with him. Although no words were spoken, the expression seemed to say, its still my little brother who understands me. But he didnt expect to be tricked for the second time in just a few hours. After drinking with Kevin, Jack went to the restroom for a while. After washing his hands, he sent a message to Hugo rk: [Are you still in rk Manor?] Hugo rk: [Yes. Arent you guysing back? Grandma keeps talking about Charles.] Kevin rk: [Are your parents and Sister-inw Wood there?] Hugo rk: [Mm.] Kevin sent his current location: [Bring your grandparents, your parents, and Lily Parker here. Hurry up.] So, an hourter, when Jack saw his parents, elder brother, sister-inw, and his nephew and niece suddenly appear in front of him His first reaction was to think that he had drunk too much and was hallucinating. The second reaction was to look at Kevin rk, then at Charles Amos, who was leaning against Kevin and almost falling asleep. The two damn rabbits. Chapter 505: 448: Finding Jack Thompson Chapter 505: Chapter 448: Finding Jack Thompson The night breeze felt cool as the stars filled the sky. Kevin rk watched as his mother hugged his brother Edward North, crying, while everyone else crowded around Edward. Meanwhile, Kevin sat to the side, leisurely snacking on skewers. Charlotte Lane looked at him and paused before saying, Third Master, you even tricked your own brother. Kevin patted Charles Amos head andughed, He even tricked his own dad. Charles was initially dozing off but woke up when so many people suddenly appeared. Charlotte nced at the two of them. She suddenly felt that Charles cunning in some aspects might not be due to Edward Kirsten, but instead due to Kevin rk. After all In this way, the two of them were as close to her as Edward Kirsten. Kevin had some idea of what Edward North was doing and indeed guessed his concerns. His thoughts were simple. As a family member, all he wanted was for Edward to be safe and healthy. As for what he looked like or what he was doing, whether he had any achievements, none of that mattered.
As for the dangerous things Now that Edward North had returned, Kevin rk had plenty of ways to keep him out of danger. If all else failed, he would just keep him confined at home. Eventually, Edward North was taken by Theo rk and Hugo rk to the car and directly brought back to rk Manor. Kevin, Charlotte Lane, and Charles Amos also returned to rk Manor. On the way back, Edward North sat between Elina rk and Tom Wayne, holding Toms hand. Tom had already recovered a little, his tearful eyes filled withughter, Do you think Charlotte is our familys lucky charm? It feels like ever since she married Kevin, good things have happened to our family. Amid her tears, Elina agreed happily: Thats true. Charlotte? Edward North asked, Isnt her name Daisy? You probably dont know, Tom replied. She is the daughter of the Lane Family, Charlotte Lane. Edward North was stunned by this series of amazing surprises, Who?! Once they arrived at rk Manor, Edward North asked Charlotte about it, and then he learned that Second Uncle Peter was involved. The words Second Uncle left Edward North dumbfounded. How did Enigma Starry used to call him? Jack Amos called him Elder Brother. Jack Amos called him Elder Brother and Second Uncle. The devastating effect these words had on his fragile heart today was immense. Holding the sleeping Charles Amos, Kevin chuckled on the side. Edward North red at him, Whats so funny? I havent even settled the score with you.
Kevin handed Charles to him, Take it up with him. Were going back to the North Court. You should sleep in Mom and Dads courtyard. Holding Charles, Edward North hesitated: Charlotte also said, Second Uncle, Kevin and I are going back. Kevins smile faltered slightly:
Edward North suddenly feltforted. As Kevin and Charlotte walked back to the North Court, Kevin held a lotusmp in his hand and said, Little girl, lets talk about something. No, Charlotte refused mercilessly. I havent even said it yet. Even if you say it, Ill still refuse, Charlotte said. Third Uncle. Kevin didnt want her to call him Third Uncle anymore. He gritted his teeth, stopped, and pulled her into his embrace, giving her a passionate kiss. After kissing her for a while, Kevin nibbled her lip. However, fearing he might hurt her, he didnt use too much force. Just this gentle bite, how can it teach me a lesson? Charlotte Lane pretended to say. Kevin narrowed his eyes and thenughed softly. A chillingugh, Take the day off tomorrow, were not sleeping tonight. Her face stiffening, Charlotte turned around and walked back. Where are you going? Kevin pulled her back. Going to my parents home.
Kevin rk drew a sharp breath and immediately said, Im sorry. Hearing these three words, Charlotte Lane turned around and walked towards the North Court. Kevin rk let out a sigh of relief. He almost had to sleep alone again tonight. But Charlotte Lane realized she had been deceived. That night Kevin rk really let her sleep. At around 3:50 in the early morning, she saw the sky outside starting to light up, and only then did Kevin rk let her go. Then Charlotte Lane made a decision. She would make Kevin rk only hear the words Third Uncle for the following week. No, two words Charlotte Lane slept at nearly four oclock, and not even six oclock, her cell phone rang. She reached out to grab the phone but before she could touch it, her hand was held and stuffed back under the quilt. She didnt move. Listening to Kevin rk answering her phone, she heard him say drowsily, Shes still asleep. Then he said, Call the police.
After Kevin finished the phone call, he ced the phone on the bedside table. Then he lied down on the bed and gently held Charlotte Lane in his arms. Who was it? Charlotte Lane asked in a low voice. Holt Lawrence. Kevin rk kissed her forehead, Jack Thompson has been found. Charlotte Lane opened her eyes: Where? Is he still alive? Alive. Kevin rk said, At the Miles Familys Imperial Capital apartments parking lot. Didnt they search there the night before? Yes. In the trunk of the car in the parking garage. Kevin rk said, Holt Lawrence said. He had someone sneak in and check at dawn. They didnt find anything at first, but suddenly there was some movement in the trunk, so they found him. Charlotte Lane frowned. I told Holt Lawrence to call the police. Using the name of the Miles Familys servant, exposing the Miles Familys illegal detention of people. Kevin rk said, An anonymous call, they cant trace it to Holt Lawrence. Charlotte Lane nodded: Okay. Wait for the news. Okay.
Lets sleep a little more. Kevin rk said. Charlotte Lane closed her eyes and muttered, Now youre willing to let me sleep. Kevin rkughed and said, Madam is too charming; its hard to control myself sometimes Charlotte Lane mercilessly rewarded him with one word: Scram. Less than ten minutes after Holt Lawrence called the police. At just past six oclock in the early morning, when the night owlizens who had been eating melon tillte night had not yet woken up, the news about Charlotte Lane once again topped the hot searches. First, the so-called insider, who imed to be a staff member on the film set, exposed that Daisy Zane threw a tantrum on the set and pped a staff member. The whistleblower was furious, and although there were no photos or videos for proof, the excited voice, angry tone, and vicious oaths made the story sound very real. As soon as the hot search came out, it instantly woke up theizens who might have just fallen asleep. And soon, another hot search about Daisy Zanes infidelity appeared. There were many photos of Daisy Zane with Liam Davis, Daisy Zane with John Anderson, Daisy Zane with William Lane, and Daisy Zane with Joseph Allen. With Liam Davis, and with John Anderson, they were just standing together talking, but some photos made them look intimate because of the angle. But it was quite apparent that Charlotte Lanes face read polite indifference. There was no sign of alienation in the photos with Joseph Allen; the two looked very familiar. Its just that the photo was taken in the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts parking lot, making it seem like the two were involved in something. The photos with William Lane looked a bit more intimate. Because it was not long ago, Charlotte Lane was helping William Lane walk to the hospital garden. Early in the morning, while Charlotte Lane was still sleeping soundly, a series of terms such as hooking up with multiple men, infidelity within marriage, and giving Kevin rk a green hat were quickly assigned to her. Chapter 506: 449: The True Cause of Death Chapter 506: Chapter 449: The True Cause of Death As soon as it hit seven oclock, Charlotte Lanes internal clock woke her up. She opened her heavy eyelids and saw Harton rks Adams apple the moment she raised her head. She stared at it for a moment before her eyelids began to droop again. After countless failed attempts to keep her eyes open, Charlotte Lane extended her leg and kicked Harton rk off the bed. However, since Harton was holding her while they slept, they both shared the quilt. When Harton fell off the bed, Charlotte was pulled down with him. Except Harton fell onto the floor, while Charlottended on him. Harton had just woken up, his recently opened eyes filled with surprise, especially after getting hit by Charlotte. He took a light breath, his hand resting on Charlottes waist, and smiled, What are you doing? Attempting to murder your husband? Charlotte nced at him, ignored him, and walked towards the restroom after removing his hand from her waist.
Harton knew he had gone overboardst night, so he didnt get angry. He got up and followed her to the restroom. However, Charlotte locked him out. Harton tried the doorknob a couple of times, Little Girl, I got you your leave, why not sleep in a bit more? No one responded to him. Harton tried the doorknob again. Then a few water droplets spread on the frosted ss, and Charlottes cold voice came from inside, Shut up. After Harton remained quiet, Charlotte looked at messages on her phone while brushing her teeth. Thats when she found out she had made the hot search for beingte and cheating. The leaker made the story sound so convincing that she almost believed it herself. However, what attracted her attention more was the fact that many co-stars from her previous films were defending her. At this difficult time, if just one of the things about her was true, her reputation would be destroyed, and she may be banned from the industry. She never expected so many people would speak up for her. It all started with George Dunn and Serena Buster, as well as the directors of those two shows. After that, the boys from the variety show she participated in also spoke up. In the end, many of the cast members from both shows defended her too. They didnt mention anything else; they only addressed the rumors about her beingte and difficult on set. Only George Dunn went the extra mile, talking not only about her beingte but also addressing her cheating scandal. [She hit someone? Who did she hit? Was it you? When you went to nag her about work, she hit you. There are only a few staff members responsible for that, and I know them all. Which one are you? When peoplee to nag the actors, its usually their assistants. How did Flynn Ninevara even manage to hit you? Did she use an erged banana leaf fan? Ive posted the staff list for the two shows and the movie below. Tell me, which one are you?] George Dunn specifically tagged the whistleblower.
After posting this, he immediately followed up with another one. [About the person spreading rumors about her cheating What were you thinking? Whats the structure of your brain? Flynn would never cheat. And Third Master rk from the Fairy n could never cause her to cheat. Lets put it this way. Flynn is a good person, except shes a little lustful. And Third Masterwell, he just fits her aesthetic. So, she only craves him.] Charlotte looked at his post on Facebook and then entered thement section. [Damn This is the most severe damage to Catherine Gods reputation in recent days. Hahaha, so lewd. Will I still be able to watch Georges movies in the future?]
[Third Master rk is a demon. George, youre brave.] [Though Dont escte the idols behavior to the fans. Everything the idol says is his personal opinion and has nothing to do with the fans.] [Youre going too far, Upper Floor. Youre five-year iron bull-fan, but youre saying such things. Since I couldnt find Harton rks personal Facebook, I tagged rk Group for George Dunn.] [George, be brave to fly, and shoulder your troubles alone.] [U1S1, Harton rk really grows on my aesthetic taste as well, indeed like a fairy. Mixing demon and masculine charm, who wouldnt love it?] [I mean faced with someone like Harton rk who wouldnt be lewd?] Charlotte Lane put her cell phone aside, rinsed her mouth, and washed her face. After washing up, she took her cell phone out, opening the door while scrolling through her phone again. Suddenly, a hot search titled [The real cause of E Harrizons death] rose to the fifth ce. She stopped at the restroom entrance, clicked on the hot search. Inside was a video. The woman in the video looked like she was in her seventies or eighties, with gray hair, sitting on a hospital bed, looking frail. Hello, everyone. My name is Ariel Lee. I used to be the nanny of the Miles family, and I was specifically responsible for taking care of E Harrizon when she was in the Miles family. Recently I have seen many messages on the inte
Ariel Lee seemed to have trouble speaking. She paused and gasped for a while before continuing: I dont know much about the marriage between Mr. Johanes Miles and E Harrizon, and Im not sure who cheated. I just know E Harrizon liked Mr. Miles a lot. Almost one year before Lady Harrizon became pregnant, Mr. Miles rarely came home. Lady Harrizon was always waiting for him toe home at that time. It took Ariel Lee a long time to say, My body is not well, and I cant sit for too long. I wont say any more unnecessary words. The main reason I made this video today is because I did something that has been bothering me for more than twenty years. E Harrizon, Lady Harrizon didnt die by suicide at all. At that time, she had already moved out of the Miles Family with her newly born child. That day, under the pretext of visiting her, I put arge amount of crushed sleeping pills in her food. Charlotte Lanes hand holding the cell phone tightened slightly, just as Harton rk came back from washing up next door. What are you watching? Harton rk stood by her and looked at her cell phone. Ariel Lees weak voice appeared again: And the medicine was given to me by the Old Master of the Miles Family. She asked me to put the medicine. She also said let me poison the child to death, and then fake it as E Harrizonmitted suicide out of depression and wanted to kill the child. But the child was so small, and I couldnt do it Later, the Old Master sent me abroad. I suspect he hired someone to assassinate me, but I have no evidence. Ariel Lee touched a knife scar at least four centimeters long on the left side of her neck, God had mercy on me, and I survived. Ive been living incognito overseas for these years. Ariel Lee wiped away her tears: This matter has been hidden in my heart for more than twenty years. I have always felt guilty, and I dare not speak out, because I am the one who poisoned her, and I dont want to go to jail. But now my life ising to an end, and I have no concerns. Before I die I must say this matter. I have already called the police, and if I can still return to China, I will turn myself in. Ariel Lee took out a cassette tape: Here is the recording of when the Old Master of the Miles Family found me back then. Although the sound quality is not good, I heard that current technology can identify if it is someones voice. You dont have to bother to have someone take this recording away. When this video is released, the recording is already sent to the police station in China. After watching the video, Charlotte Lane was silent for two seconds, then called Holt Lawrence and whispered: This time even the gods cant save the Miles Family. When Holt Lawrence answered, Charlotte Lane said, Did the police go to the Miles Family yet? They did, Holt Lawrence said, I also arranged for the media. As soon as someone from the Miles Family is taken away, it will immediately go on the hot search. Nana, have you seen the video the aunt posted online? This time, even if you want to show mercy, its impossible. The Miles Familys Old Master is involved in a murder.
Show mercy? Charlotte Lane clenched her fingertips. These four words no longer have anything to do with her. She had given the Miles Family enough chances, but they didnt want them Chapter 507: 450: Recording Chapter 507: Chapter 450: Recording The breakfast at rk Manor today was extremely generous, generous to the point that L Campbell felt like they wanted Finley rk to eat back all the meals he missed over the past decade. Eat properly, what are you doing? L Campbell flicked Charles Amos head, What did you dost night? You are looking listless. You ask him. Charles Amos nced at Harton rk. Everyone at the table immediately looked at Harton rk. Harton rk looked innocent, Whats wrong with me? I even told you a story before you went to sleepst night. Charles Amos eyebrows almost shot up in amusement with this mention, You have the nerve to say it out loud. You told me a ghost story. I dreamt I was chased by a female ghost all night, I ampletely exhausted. Everyone at the table fell silent for a brief moment, then suddenly burst out inughter. Tom Wayne didnt sleepst night, but he was in high spirits now. Heughed and said: How dare you even tease a child. Where do you see a child, he is a little devil. Harton rk said, And a little devil who specializes in causing trouble. Charles Amos pursed his lips and started to eat his meal silently.
After Kevin rk had peeled the egg, he broke it open and put the yolk in Charless bowl. Charles, watching Kevin putting things into the bowl next to him, said without lifting his head, Thank you, Dad. Kevin was taken aback and immediately turned to look at Charles. All the people at the table became silent for a brief moment, looking at Charles and Kevin. They saw the seldom surprise, joy, and somewhat overwhelmed emotions all mixed together on Kevins face. Charles, appearing quite spiritless and seemingly lost in daydreaming, didnt pay much attention to everyone at the table. He tilts his head to look at the food in his bowl. An egg yolk. !!! His wandering soul semi-returned instantly. He looked at the egg yolk for a while, then looked up at Kevin. At the moment their eyes met, Kevin felt a pang of guilt in his heart. But it was just a tiny bit. And so, he took out the yolk, stretched his hand, and put it in Hartons bowl who was sitting opposite him. Harton, seeing the newly appeared egg yolk in his bowl, was like: ?????? Then Charles suddenly raised his voice: Mom, Dad is picky about his food. Hmm, I saw it. L Campbell seeing the peeled egg in her dish by Kevin. So? Charles said. So L Campbell took out the yolk from the egg, gave it to Kevin. Then turned to Charles, Satisfied? Yes.
Kevin: Elina rk, Tom Wayne, and Nathan rks family were all holding backughter. Harton rk ate the yolk in his bowl, chuckled, and thought to himself. When he left home years ago, his younger brother was at the top of the food chain at home.
Now at least someone could handle him. After breakfast, L Campbell went to the Research Institute with Kevin as usual. The driver was in front driving. The two of them were sitting in the back. Ever since they got in the car, L Campbell has been leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed resting. While Kevins one hand was holding his cell phone replying to messages, the other hand was gently rubbing her waist. Were the Miles family taken away? L Campbell said with her eyes closed. Hmm. Kevin rk, looking at his phone, said, Thirteen minutes ago, a video was posted by the media showing the Miles family being taken away by the police. Jack Thompson has also been rescued. He was tied in the trunk of a car, couldnt even walk when he got out, so was taken to the hospital. Kevin rk paused and said: Jack Thompson was helped out of the Miles family, and since he saw the media, he has been shouting that he has a recording and evidence of the Miles family directing him. Charlotte Lane opened her eyes, and after a moment said: Hes notpletely stupid. So, we canpletely vindicate udia Zane. Kevin rk said. As soon as he finished speaking, Charlotte Lanes phone rang. It was a call from Holt Lawrence. Speak. Charlotte Lane answered the call.
Amelia Miles ran away before the police arrived. She must have seen the video posted online by the aunt. She is now at the airport, has bought a ticket to the M Continent and is about to go through security. Holt Lawrence said, Should we stop her, or what? Charlotte Lane thought about it and said: Let her go. Keep a close eye on her to see who else is behind her. Okay. said Holt Lawrence, Thats what I was thinking too. If we are to eliminate them, we should uproot them. Hmm. Two days after the Miles family was taken away, the police released the tape recording provided by Ariel Lee. The sound was indeed a bit unclear and there was some noise, but it was not difficult to hear that it was the voice of Old Master Miles and Ariel Lees voice. Concrete evidence of intentional murder. Besides, the evidence mentioned by Jack Thompson was revealed. A recordingsting more than an hour. No editing was done, everything was sent out. ording to Jack Thompsons confession and the content of the recording, the whole process of the incident was roughly restored. Jack Thompsonspany was facing bankruptcy, and he had once sought out Johanes Miles. It was the time that Charlotte Lane had found from the surveince of the tea room when the two met. Jack Thompson wanted Johanes Miles to help him out of the spirit of college friendship, but the situation of the Miles Group was also bad, and Johanes Miles refused him.
However two dayster, the old master of the Miles family suddenly contacted him. The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop where there was no surveince on the whole street. That is the day Jack Thompson made the recording with the voice recorder. The old master agreed to invest two million to help Jack Thompsonspany through the crisis. The premise is Jack Thompson has to do him a favor. That is, let Jack Thompson pretend to confess out of guilt because of drunk, frame udia Zane and nder her for having a rtionship with him. It was udia Zane who cheated first. Remove the Miles family and the Miles Group from this matter. Restore some of the reputation of the Miles family. As long as this matter can be sessful, if the Miles Group improves, the Miles family will give him another two million afterwards. The old master also said that he didnt have to worry about all the matters, he just needed to show his face. The manuscript will be written for him. From the recording, Jack Thompson initially refused. He said: udia and we are all college ssmates. She is such a good girl, how can I ruin her reputation after her death. But after nearly an hour of persuasion from the old master, Jack Thompson agreed in the face of huge benefits.
That day after he agreed, the old master gave him two suitcases with one million cash in them and let him take them away. The other million will be given to him after he releases the video. Jack Thompson made the video a few dayster, and then took it to the coffee house to show it to the old master. ording to Jack Thompsons confession. The old man felt okay after watching it that day, and asked him to set it up for timed forwarding. Then he left the coffee shop with the other million, and was put in a car. He had been in the trunk since then. The reason for the tape recorder was that he was afraid of idents, so he left one and recorded the sound and put it in the safe at home. And told his wife, if he was missing for more than twelve hours, call the police. If he couldnt be found in a week, give the voice recorder in the safe to the police. But it didnt take a week, he was found in two nights. The voice recorder was equipped with a storage card, and it had not been yed on any device with awork, so neither Charlotte Lane nor Celestial Pivot found out. Chapter 508: 451 Chapter 508: Chapter 451 As soon as the two recordings were released, the online wind direction changed dramatically. Even for the first few minutes it seemed as if the entire inte went silent for a few minutes. After that, they all swarmed under the official Weibo of the Miles Group. And because too many people rushed in at once, many could not get in. Even worse, some got stuck halfway while writing. After that, everyone went to Daisy Zanes Facebook to apologize. The matter of the Miles Family ndering udia Zanes infidelity before her death and even killing her was nailed to the board. The recordings released by the police in the morning have drowned the official Weibo of the Miles Group in curses. Meanwhile, all those haters had been silent for half a day. However, in the afternoon after being silent for half a day, the haters started to take action. They had nothing to say about udia Zanes case, but they kept repeating Daisy Zanes diva behavior, her reliance on power to have the drama crew stop work, and her infidelity.
It seemed as if they must pin a crime on Daisy Zane and bring her down in disgrace. Charlotte Lane checked online news in the morning, had Hill Dawson post a status on her Facebook, and then continued with her experiments. It wasnt until Holt Lawrence sent her a message in the afternoon that she checked the news again. Holt Lawrence: [The news about you having an affair and being a diva are all released by the Miles Family. Now all those who are attacking you are your haters. ording to my investigation, there is a huge organization behind your haters. The organizer is Jessica Maxwell.] Charlotte Lane: [So thats how the memes on your phone came about? What role did you y in this organization?] Holt Lawrence: [Ive infiltrated the enemys ranks to gather intel.] Charlotte Lane ignored him. She left theboratory and called Ezekiel Santiago: Dean, I think today is a good day, what do you think? Ezekiel Santiago hesitated for a moment and said, Is today really a good day? Do you really think so? Should we pick another day? Or find someone to calcte a good day? Charlotte Lane said, There are a lot of people cursing me online, and I need the Research Institute to help me rify. Ezekiel Santiago hesitated again, Well, thenwait until you guyse back home. Arthur North is at the Research Institute. Its too convenient toe to my office. You can help me block him when you are at home. Alright. Harton rk and Charlotte Lane got off work in the afternoon on time. Charlotte Lane originally nned to go home to the Lane Family tonight, but she was afraid that Harton rk would go to Ezekiel Santiago, so she followed Harton rk back to the rk Manor. Finn rk had been staying at home with his parents and Charles Amos all day. When Harton rk and Charlotte Lane returned, they happened to see Finn rk and Charles Amos, who didnt know where they came from, returning to the Main Courtyard. Then, the two of them looked at each otherand stood still. Finn rk and Charles Amos were covered in mud, even on their faces.
As for Charles, his hair, face, and clothes only had room for his eyes and mouth. A perfect little mudman. He was even grinning his teeth. Seeing the two of them, Finn rkughed and said, Why are you back so early?
Harton rk and Charlotte Lane looked at them and said nothing. The two could hardly ept the current scene. Whats with those expressions? Finn rkughed. Whatwhere did you go? As soon as Harton rk opened his mouth, he felt as if his voice floated far away. We went fishing in the river. Charles Amoss small voice was very excited. Going to the North Court, the river under the arch bridge. There was a thickyer of mud underneath. Harton rk suddenly didnt know what to say, but he wanted to say something, so he found two words and said, Wheres the fish? We released it. Charles Amos said, walking towards Charlotte Lane and even reaching out, wanting to hold her hand. Charlotte Lanes face changed abruptly, and she stepped back quickly. Charles Amos paused, staring at Charlotte Lane with puzzled, big eyes. Charlotte Lane looked at him and said, Dont look at me. Were not familiar. Finn rkughed, and as he did, his body shook a bit, causing the dried mud on his clothes to fall off. Harton rks forehead twitched:
After dinner, Harton rk and Charlotte Lane returned to the North Court, leaving Charles Amos to Finn rk. At 9 oclock, Harton rk was processing work things in the study room while Charlotte Lane was in the bedchamber, listening to the groups voice chat on herputer while looking at the experimental data. In the Hundred Demons Pavilion group, Logan started a voice chat, and those who were idle joined the chat. It started with Logan and Damian Brown chatting, then Holt Lawrence joined in. Nana, youre here too. Yeah, Im worried that you guys might badmouth me, so Im listening. Charlotte Lane said. Damian Brown said, How is that possible? How dare we speak badly of the big boss? Logan said, Exactly, big boss. We dont even have enough time to like you. Youve said it more than once, not to mention the ones I didnt discover. Charlotte Lane looked at herputer data and said, Do you want me to show you your transfer records? Because they were discovered once, they would transfer an ount to Charlotte Lane. Damian Brown and Logan suddenly went silent. Holt Lawrenceughed and said, Nana, Amelia Miles has left the M Continent for the Mountain Sea Continent.
Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow. Not only her but also Liam Davis, said Holt Lawrence. They are backed by the tinum Burke Family. The tinum Burke Family? Damian Brown asked. After the Thousand Mountains Alliance was eradicated, the tinum Burke Family has grown rapidly in the Mountain Sea Continent. Even more recently, theyre getting cocky. Luke and Dark Radiance over there are both keeping an eye on them. Thats right, Holt Lawrence said. The internal affairs of the tinum Burke Family have always been chaotic. However, after Liam Davis seized power from the M Continent, the power of the M Continent and the Mountain Sea Continent has be more united, making it grow rapidly. Liam Davis took power? Charlotte Lane asked inquisitively. Yes, Holt Lawrence said. Unexpected, isnt it? Since the establishment of the tinum Burke Family, there have always been two housemasters in the M Continent and the Mountain Sea Continent. The two sides have equal power, checking and restraining each other. The daughter of the housemaster from the M Continent side took a fancy to Liam Davis. Liam Davis pretended to amodate her but killed his girlfriend and future father-inw to seize power. Of course, with the help of this side of the Mountain Sea Continent. So ruthless? Logan sneered. Such a scumbag. Ill go back to the Mountain Sea Continent tonight and take care of him. Amelia Miles and Liam Davis have always been in touch. Because Amelia Miles is in the Dance Association, she has the possibility of marrying into the Lane Family. In that way, the tinum Burke Family can extend their reach to the Imperial Capital, Holt Lawrence said. Theres also another reasonthey all want to kill Nana. Charlotte Lane opened a new file on herputer and said, Logan, I dont need you for this. Logan asked, Are you going to handle it personally? Yes. Hey? Nana, Holt Lawrence suddenly said. The research institute has made your support for Continent A public. Charlotte Lanes fingers paused: When did that happen?
Almost ten minutes ago, Holt Lawrence said. Charlotte Lane immediately closed theputer and walked towards the study room. As she walked and thought, ten minutes Harton rk was busy, he probably hadnt seen it yet. Chapter 509: 452: What is the Meaning of Taking This Step? Chapter 509: Chapter 452: What is the Meaning of Taking This Step? The Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute has a high status and prestige in the domestic industry. Not only because it is backed by several major domestic families and the support of the country, but also because the drugs originating from the Institute are cheaper than those from other manufacturers. Moreover, the newly researched pharmaceutical formtions are priced as low as possible. Although many drugs are still expensive for many families, the Institute has tried its best to reduce the price to the lowest level. The reputation and prestige of the Institute are earned over many years. So when the Institute spoke out,izens suddenly didnt know how to react. Everyone knew about the situation in Continent A before the New Year. At that time, someone posted photos of numerous floating corpses in Continent A online, which were seen by many people. However, the information was quickly removed from the inte due to timely control. After that, the rising death toll in Continent A was also semi-public. About the 319 issue, the domestic authorities had Ezekiel Santiagoe out and exin its hazards at that time. He warned everyone to be cautious in daily life and report to the relevant departments if they find any 319 incidents.
During that time, the domestic prevention measures were strict, and the hazards of 319 were heavily publicized, almost going from house to house. Moreover, at the beginning, Continent A was not under control, so there was mass panic. It was only when things were under control in Continent A that people were relieved. However, both Continent A and the domestic authorities kept the identities of the researchers secret. They only revealed that the researcher who found a way to control 319 was from the domestic territory. All other details were kept confidential. This was to ensure their safety. This time, the Institute only disclosed the name of Charlotte Lane, stating that researchers who have made great contributions should not be insulted. To rify why Daisy Zanes drama crew stopped production. The announcement issued by the Institute used Nicholson Amoss name, but tagged Daisy Zanes Facebook. The content not only briefly described Nicholson Amoss support for Continent A but also specifically stated that she was the most meritorious person in the support of Continent A because she researched the pharmaceutical formtion that could suppress 319. Later, to avoid suspicion, they released Nicholson Amoss certificate of admission to Imperial Capital University and her qualifications to be trained by the Research Institute. During her two years of training at the Research Institute, she participated in some experimental projects, her recent assistance to Continent A, and her official entry into the Institute. In addition, they mentioned some feasible methods proposed by Nicholson Amos, some new experimental methods, and their current contributions to research. When the Institutes announcement was released,izens were dumbfounded for a while. [Uhdoes this mean that the Daisy Zane were fans of, the Daisy Zane who acted in a TV series, the yson Ninevara who wrote the script, the Flynn Ninevara who designed the spotlight, and the Daisy Zane who appeared on the variety show Going to Schoolare all the same person as the researcher from the Institute, Nicholson Amos? Did I understand it correctly? Is that what it means?] [Sister, you probably didnt misunderstand. The ID photos on Nicholson Amoss admission to Imperial Capital University and entry into the Research Institute look exactly like Daisy Zane.] [Has the Institutes ount been hacked? Or have I not woken up yet?] [Oh my god, who have I be a fan of? Who exactly am I a fan of? To those who said were uneducated and never went to school,e out now! I can still take you on for a thousand more rounds.] [So for those haters and marketing ounts. Do you know what she was doing when you were ndering her? She was risking her life to save people. You could even say she was saving you, saving me, saving everyone.]
[Arge number of floating corpses in Continent A C if the decay produces infectious viruses, the first people toe into contact with them are the support team for Continent A. Thats literally risking their lives to save others.] [I heard that they were attacked when they returned from Continent A. Isnt that risking their lives on the edge of a knife?] [If the situation in Continent A hadnt been controlled, the death toll would have continued to rise. Maybe one day, it would be our own deaths. Do you know the contribution of controlling 319?] [Who doesnt know that the several families inside the Research Institute include the rk Family? What are you bragging about? How do you know this isnt intentionally released by the rk Family?]
[??????????] [Can you read some more books before you speak? Everyone knows that within the Research Institute, the power of several families is equal, and the rk Family doesnt have such great power. Besides, even if the rk Family had more influence, this is still the domestic territory. The Institute wouldnt dare to make such a statement without the countrys recognition. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?] [So the power behind Daisy Zane is the country.] [The time the drama crew stopped production coincides with her time in Continent A.] [Sisters, Im back. Ive checked the photos of Daisy Zane entering and leaving Imperial Capital University in the past two years, which match the time she participated in some experimental projects during these two years.] [Althoughthis was meant to rify the issue of Daisy Zane and the drama crew stopping productionis it okay to disclose it like this? All the other people are still kept secret, and only she was exposed. Wont it be very dangerous? They were even attacked when they returned from Continent A.] [It should be safe within the country, right?] [The Research Institute must guarantee the safety of its researchers.] [I suddenly have a bold ideais it possible that itsdeliberate, likeluring the snake out of its hole?] [Damn! Sister, hurry up and delete your message; you might have leaked something!] Then thatment was quickly deleted. Netizens have noticed something, so how could Kevin rk not know what Charlotte Lane is up to. When Charlotte went to find the study room, Kevin was on the phone with Ezekiel Santiago.
He happened to have heard Kevins cold and terrifying voice saying, You listen to her so much, might as well give her the deans position. Charlotte hurried to his side, wanting to snatch the phone away, but Kevin noticed her. Kevin dodged her and even held onto Charlottes raised hand while looking down at her. Charlotte raised her eyes to look into his angry, icy stare and calmly said, This has nothing to do with the dean. He shouldnt let you mess around. Kevin said. Ezekiel overheard Charlottes voice on the other side and said, You two sort it out yourselves, before hurriedly hanging up the phone. Kevin threw his phone on the table and looked at Charlotte, Little girl, what do you want to do? Kevins voice grew serious, and Charlotte immediately thought of how he trained her years before. Though the voice wasnt the same and it wasnt as intimidating as before, it still made her think of that time. Charlotte rubbed her fingertips and looked down to say, Now that Im in Imperial Capital, Edward Kirsten cant take me away, can he? Will hee in person? Kevin asked. Charlotte didnt speak. He wonte in person. Kevin answered himself, Edward Kirsten, a cautious man, has a ny percent chance of noting. Thats because this is not his territory, and because he knows thating here would be walking into a trap.
Charlotte pulled her hand out of his. Since Edward Kirsten wonte, whats the point of taking this step? Kevin said, He sends someone to the country, but they cant take you away. If we capture the person he sends, it wont be of much use. Kevin continued to watch Charlotte, who had lowered her gaze. After a while, he pinched her chin, making her look up at him. His narrow eyes searched her, looking directly into Charlottes eyes, Little Girl, tell me why you want to take this step. Im betting on that ten percent. Charlotte looked at him, her eyes meeting his. Her expression unchanged, she kept her emotions hidden and remained calm, just like usual. Is that so? Kevin looked at her, Are you really betting on that ten percent, or do you want to find Edward Kirsten? Charlotte didnt move or speak. Youre in Imperial Capital. Indeed, nobody can take you away. Kevin looked at her and said, But what if you want to leave with them? Kevin Little girl. Kevin cut her off, Do you remember what I said? If you dare to have any treasonous thoughts, Ill lock you up. I Charlotte looked at his frowning face, thinking he could barely control his temper. She suddenly grabbed his cor and pulled him down, kissing him on the lips. As she pulled him down, Kevin reflexively cooperated with her, You
Charlotte kissed him again. Kevins aura shrank to less than half in an instant. Seeing it worked, Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly. Im talking about serious matters. Kevins tone was neither high nor low. Charlotte raised the corner of her mouth because of his tone, I didnt think that way. Also, Im not betting on ten percent. Im betting on twenty percent. Third Master, Im safe in Imperial Capital, arent I? Whether its ten percent or twenty percent, theres hope, isnt there? Kevin looked at her, trying to confirm whether her words were true or not. And even if I want to leave with him, it wont be that easy, right? The rk Family and Lane Family are blocking my way, its hard for me to get out. Kevin didnt say anything, but he agreed tacitly. Third Master, youre overthinking it. Charlotte said. Kevin was genuinely frightened when he saw her Facebook post. But with her attitude, it seemed like he was overthinking it. He leaned in slightly and kissed her lips, Little girl, Im not joking. Dont even think about doing something like that, got it? Mm. Charlotte replied, and after a while, she leaned against the desk behind her, Third Uncle, you seem to like locking me up. Kevin furrowed his brow lightly, What? Why dont you lock me up for a week? Charlottes voice was still cold, Theres nothing going on at the Research Institute recently. I can cooperate with you. What do you think, Third Uncle? Kevins face changed several times before he finally bit her lip, Next time you make such a wild request, dont call me Third Uncle. Okay. Third Uncle. Kevin: Chapter 510: 453: You Are Just a Substitute Chapter 510: Chapter 453: You Are Just a Substitute In a courtyard on the M Continent. Edward Kirsten sat by an outdoor tea table, just finished watching Chloe Davis dance under a peach tree. This season, the peach blossoms have already bloomed and the peaches are ripe. It may not be as beautiful as when the tree was full of blossoms. But Edward Kirsten loved watching Chloe Davis dance under the peach tree. He even bought this courtyard because of that tree. Chloe Davis had been here for over three months. Edward Kirsten would stay here every time he came to the M Continent, and she would wait for him there. She finished dancing and came over. Edward handed her a handkerchief, Are you tired? Chloe shook her head, took the handkerchief, and smiled, Not tired. Have you not been hometely? Edward asked.
Yes, Chloe replied, Theres nothing going on at the Dance Association. And I didnt know when you woulde, so I simply didnt leave. Edward nced at her and, seeing her blush, smiled gently, Dont worry. I onlye when you are here. Chloe lowered her head and smiled, pressing her lips together. Mr. Kirsten, Alice Eugene stood beside Edward and handed him a tablet, Theres news. Edward took the tablet and saw the message from the Pharmaceutical Formtion Institute. He suddenly narrowed his eyes. Alice looked at Chloe who was standing beside her. Chloe met her gaze, knowing that they had something to discuss, and said, You guys talk, Ill go wash my hands. Edward didnt say anything or look up as he read the message on the tablet. Chloe didnt get a response from him, so she left on her own. After she left, Alice said, Its Enigma. Did we make sure not to hurt herst time in Continent A? Edward asked. No, Alice replied, Only three people came back after the interception in Continent A. ording to their reports, no researchers were injured. Edward felt a little relieved and, looking at the message from the Institute, said, Enigma is trying to bait me out. So, we Alice started. Of course, well oblige her wishes. Edward looked at her ID photo on the tablet, his tone indulgent, We must satisfy all our little Enigmas needs. Alice kept her gaze lowered and didnt say anything. Edward looked at the picture a bit longer and said, Tell the people at the M Continent Laboratory. I dont care what they do, but they cant touch Enigma. Yes.
In the evening, Edward stayed there. Before going to bed, he yed chess with Chloe for a while and then went back to his room to sleep. Chloe went back to her room after Edward, after a while.
She could feel that Edward was in a good mood today. Thus, her mood was also very good. After happily finishing her washing and rinsing, shey in bed counting the days they had known each other, recalling their meetings, and wondering if she could confess her feelings. She really liked Edward Kirsten. He was gentle, chivalrous, considerate, knowledgeable, and asionally quite humorous. She felt that Edward Kristen had feelings for her, and today she said something that could express her feelings, Edward Kirsten did not resist, so she wanted to move forward. Just as she was lying in bed thinking, the room door was suddenly knocked twice. Ste Edwards immediately sat up. Thinking it was Edward Kirsten, she quickly got out of bed and tidied herself up, then went to open the door. But when the door was opened, Alice Eugene, dressed all in ck, was standing outside. Ste Edwards was startled by her. She was very afraid of Alice Eugene. She had never seen Alice Eugene smile, and Alice Eugene was always surrounded by murderous aura. Especially those eyes that, except when looking at Edward Kirsten, were always filled with contempt and killing intent when looking at anyone else. Ste Edwards smile at the bottom of her eyes froze, and after a pause, she politely smiled again and said, Miss Eugene, what can I do for you?
Alice Eugene nced at her, said nothing, and forcefully barged into her room. Seeing Alice Eugene entering her room, Ste Edwards didnt dare to say much, so she closed the door, and followed in: Please have a seat, Miss Eugene. Edward Kirsten always had Alice Eugene around, so no matter what, Ste Edwards always had a good attitude towards her. You like Daisy Zane a lot? Alice Eugene asked without sitting down, suddenly looking at Ste Edwards. Ste Edwards was puzzled for a moment but still answered her question, Yes. Henry Kirsten likes her very much too. Do you know why? Alice Eugene said. Ste Edwards looked at her. You dont think Henry Kirsten watching her TV series, and learning about her-rted news is because you like her and want to find amon topic with you, do you? Alice Eugene sneered. Ste Edwards knitted her brows but remained silent. She did indeed think so. Although she didnt know what Edward Kristens profession was, she knew they were in different fields. They had almost nomon topic except for dance. Later, besides dance, Edward Kirsten asionally mentioned Daisy Zane to her. But he didnt make her feel ufortable. So shed always thought Edward Kirsten was learning about her preferences and looking for theirmon topics.
Seeing her like this, Alice Eugene snorted and said, Daisy Zane was called Enigma Starry eleven years ago, and the name was given by Henry Kirsten. They lived together for four years, and Henry Kirsten spoiled her like a treasure. Ste Edwards looked at Alice Eugene, her expression suddenly bing somewhat flustered. She then asked, Why are you telling me these things? Alice Eugene opened her cell phone and yed a video for her to watch. It was a video of Enigma Starry dancing under the peach blossom tree. Not only was there a dance performed by Enigma Starry, but also conversations between Edward Kirsten and Enigma Starry. Enigma Starry called him Brother Yabez. And Edward Kirstens tone was something Ste Edwards had never heard before; it was full of affection. After the video was yed, Alice Eugene put away her phone and said, As a professional dancer, its not hard to see that your dance is very simr to hers, right? Ste Edwards suddenly staggered backward. Alice Eugene continued, And not just simr. The few ces Henry Kirstenter taught you to change were all based on Enigma Starrys habits. Ste Edwards looked up at Alice Eugene and suddenly growled, What are you trying to say! You very well know what Im trying to say, Alice Eugene said. Henry Kirsten doesnt like you at all. He only likes Enigma Starry, Daisy Zane. And you are just a substitute. Ste Edwards looked at the person in front of her, feeling a pain like an explosion in her heart, which made it difficult for her to breathe. Her head also seemed to explode with something she hadnt noticed before, and many details she hadnt noticed before poured into her mind.
The more she didnt want to think about these things, the more they surfaced in her head: Youre talking nonsense, I dont believe it. I dont believe it. You already believe it, Alice Eugene said. The reason Henry Kirsten went to see you was that he saw your dance on the Inte, so he took initiative to get to know you. Do you know why he likes to watch you dance under that peach tree? Because Enigma used to love dancing under the peach blossom tree. Ste Edwards shook her head and backed away, retreating to the table by the wall. She shook her head, not wanting to believe or listen. Do you think Henry Kirsten was happily watching you every time? He was just looking through you, at someone else, Alice Eugene said. Chapter 511: 454: We will encounter this frequently in the future. Chapter 511: Chapter 454: We will encounter this frequently in the future. Sometime during the night, the sky had changed outside the window. Apanied by a rumbling sound, a sh of lightning lit up the darkness, reflecting light into the room. Ste Edwards leaned against the table, her fingers tightly gripping the edge, constantly applying force. Her eyes were fixed on a spot, her chest heaving, as if she could only breathe with heavy gasps. Alice Eugene saw her like this, a momentary viciousness in her eyes as if she had made a decision after some hesitation and struggle, As long as Daisy Zane is alive, Henry Kirstens heart will never have room for anyone else. Ste Edwards looked up at her. Do you want to be someones substitute forever? Alice continued, Women should always fight for the things they like, especially for an outstanding man. Ste Edwards just looked at her. If I were you. I would rece that person. Alice looked into her eyes, Turn from a substitute into the only one. Why are you telling me all this? Ste Edwards asked, looking at her. Because,pared to Daisy Zane, Id rather the person by Henrys side be you. Alice continued, Besides, Daisy is already married. Shes not worthy of Henry. But Henry cant forget her, so only if she dies, everything can be resolved. Ste Edwards stared at her for a while, then slowly lowered her gaze.
If shes alive, youll be a substitute for a lifetime, Alice continued, Only if she dies, will Henrys eyes truly see you. Ste Edwards did not answer, her gaze downcast. Alice nced at her for a moment, fearing that saying too much would be counterproductive, and didnt say anything more before leaving her room. The rooms door opened and closed. sh after sh of lightning outside the window, and the sound of thunder grew louder and louder. Ste Edwards stood by the table for a while longer before her legs suddenly gave way, and she copsed on the ground, covering her mouth as she started to cry. It was the first time she had felt moved, the first time she had liked a man. But this man only saw her as a recement. Ste Edwards did not sleep that night, and when she went out for breakfast the next morning, she deliberately wore heavy makeup to hide the fatigue on her face. When she arrived at the restaurant, Henry Kirsten was already there. Seeing her, he said to her, Todays makeup is a bit different. Ste Edwards forced a smile, Yes, I didnt sleep well. Myplexion is a bit off. Are you feeling upset? When Henry noticed her earlier, he sensed that her mood was very low, as if something was on her mind. Alice nced at Ste Edwards. Without looking at Alice, Ste Edwards answered Henry, I had a fight with someone onlinest night. Henry chuckled, How did you even get into a fight with someone online? Ste Edwards cut the sandwich in front of her with a knife and fork, lowering her gaze, There has been a lot of criticism of Daisy Zane onlely, even saying shes having an affair. Alices expression suddenly changed, and she nced at Henry from the corner of her eye. Henry looked at Ste Edwards as well. Pretending not to see Henrys gaze, Ste continued cutting her sandwich, her eyes dull, Kevin rk is outstanding, he has both family and good looks. Daisy Zane is so perfect with him, how could she have an affair? I dont know what thoseizens are thinking, I think theres no one more suited for each other than the two of them
With a tter, Henrys knife and fork fell on the te, making a crisp sound. Alice and Ste were both startled. Alice stood up directly, standing to one side. Turning her head to look at Henry, Ste gathered all her courage to meet his eyes, trying her best to suppress her emotions other than doubt.
In Henrys eyes, she saw disgust and a fleeting murderous intent, but it quickly returned to calm. Dont ever let me hear the three words Harton rk again. After saying that, Henry got up and left the restaurant. Ste Edwards watched his retreating figure, her pupils trembling. Alice nced at Ste Edwards again, the look in her eyes clearly saying, See, I told you so. Then she quickly followed Henry. Ste Edwards watched them leave, Henrys stern, angry voice just now echoing in her ears. He had never spoken to her like that before. All because of Daisy Zane, even a slight mention was not allowed. She was the only one left in the restaurant, and although she ate her sandwich, it tasted like chewing wax C nd and tasteless. Edward Kirsten stayed in M Continent for another two days and then left. Ste Edwards returned to her home country the day after he left. After returning, she put down her luggage at her residence, went to visit William Lane, and then went straight to the Lane Family from the hospital. Ste Edwards was very familiar with the Lane Family, and Sophie Ortiz liked her very much. After she became a student, Sophie brought her to live in the Lane Family home for a long time, while others lived in the dormitory of the Dance Association.
It wasnt until Ste Edwards had her own apartment in Imperial Capital that she moved out. However, the Lane family always reserved a room for Ste Edwards. Upon entering the Lane Family home, Ste Edwards had a very solid feeling like she was returning home, and her depressed mood improved a lot in the past few days. However, as she walked to the garden in front of the vi, her good mood suddenly choked. She saw Daisy Zane and the Lane Familys Patriarch nting flowers together. They were chatting andughing while instructing the gardener to nt many new varieties of roses in the front garden. Charlotte Lane was the first to notice Ste Edwards. She noticed someone was looking at them, so she looked back. They were separated by a short distance, and their gazes met. Charlotte Lane felt the hostility from Ste Edwards. Ste Edwards eyes flickered and dodged the moment Charlotte looked over. Seeing that Charlotte Lane hadnt moved, Old Master Lane followed her gaze. Seeing Old Master Lane also looking at her, Ste Edwards immediately smiled and walked over: Grandfather Lane, youre back? Old Master Lane also smiled: Yes, Ive been back for a while. Are you here to see your teacher? Yes. Ste Edwards nced at Charlotte Lane, I just came back from Brother Roys ce.
Go ahead, Old Master Lane said, Your teacher and the others are inside. Alright. After Ste Edwards left, Charlotte Lane and Old Master Lane continued nting flowers. By the time they finished nting flowers in the garden and went inside, Sophie Ortiz had been chatting with Ste Edwards for quite some time. As soon as Sophie Ortiz saw Charlotte Lane, she said, I believe you two should know each other. Sophie Ortiz had onlymunicated with Edward Monk about Ste Edwards movie and didnt know much about Flynn Ninevara. It was onlyter when she learned about Charlotte Lane, did she find out that Charlotte Lane was the screenwriter for Ste Edwards movie. Charlotte Lane nodded her head. Ste Edwards hadnt had time to ask why Daisy Zane was here, so she politely said, Brook God. Charlotte Lane looked at her: Hello. Ste Edwards smiled, but there was always some awkwardness and reluctance in her smile: Hello. I didnt expect to see Brook God here. Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, Youll see her more often in the future. Ste Edwards looked confusedly at Sophie Ortiz.
Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, Ill tell youter. Then she turned to Charlotte Lane and said, L, go upstairs and call Amelie. Its past ten oclock, and she still hasnt gotten up. Weve called her twice, and she hasnte out. If she sleeps any longer, her head will be ttened. Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow, Alright. Ill go and check on her head. Charlotte Lane went upstairs to call Amelie Quentin. Ste Edwards sat on the sofa with a baffled look on her face: L? Yes, L. Sophie Ortiz tucked Ste Edwards stray hair behind her ear and treated her like family, saying, She is L, your junior sister. Chapter 512: 455: Substitute from Beginning to End. Chapter 512: Chapter 455: Substitute from Beginning to End. Daisy Zane is Charlotte Lane. When Ste Edwards heard this news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She didnt know how she managed to finish her meal at the Lanes, nor how she left their house. From the moment she heard this news, she had been in a daze, far from her usual self. Sophie Ortiz noticed something was off with her, and originally wanted her to stay at the Lanes. But Ste insisted on leaving, so Sophie had the driver take her back to where she was staying. As soon as she returned to her apartment, she sat right there in the entryway. Daisy Zane is Charlotte Lane. Daisy Zane is Enigma Starry. So thats why their dances had simrities. Thats why, after Edward Kirsten suggested she make some changes to her dance, Sophie Ortiz also came to love it. So out of the many people in the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz only epted her as a disciple.
Because she was the only one who danced like Charlotte Lane did as a child, out of the many people her teacher had taught over the years in the Dance Association, thats why they took her on as a disciple. Ste Edwards sat in the entryway for a while, then buried her face in the crook of her arm and began to sob softly. She had always believed that her current position was achieved through her own strength, through her own hard work. That she stood in the center of the stage and received the goodwill of the Lane family. Because of the Lane family, in the Imperial Capital, who would not admire her, or give her some respect? But it turns out, all of this was simply because she was simr to Charlotte Lane. From beginning to end, she was just a substitute. For the Lane family, she was. For Edward Kirsten, she was too. All she had acquired was for that reason as well. From beginning to end, she had been acting as a stand-in for Charlotte Lane. Why did it have to be Daisy Zane who was Charlotte Lane, why! Why! Why! Ever since the Research Institute made Charlotte Lanes identity public, the defenses in the Imperial Capital quietly increased by a lot. They subtly left a small opening. But this opening was a one-way street. Come in, but dont think about leaving. The fact that Charlotte Lane is being observed by the Research Institute made not only Kevin rk nervous, but the Lanes as well. The rk family and the Lane family reached a consensus about this matter: they absolutely must not allow Charlotte Lane to leave. So the Lane family initiated a pick-up and drop-off mode.
And its Andrew Lane himself with a driver, doing it all personally. Hed send Charlotte Lane to the Research Institute in the morning and pick her up in the afternoon to bring her back to the Lanes. If she workedte, Andrew Lane would stroll around the Research Institute a few times with the driver and examine the ce. Not only didnt he give Charlotte Lane a chance to leave the Imperial Capital, but he also didnt leave any chance for Kevin rk. An end to another day of work, Third Master rk, who had been asleep for a week, watched intently as Charlotte Lane got into the Lane familys car.
Then, he greeted Andrew Lane, who only hummed in response before the car drove off. It left Kevin rk alone, watching as the car got farther and farther away. Inside the car, right after Charlotte Lane had put herputer away, Andrew Lane, like a magician, pulled out a skewer of candied hawthorns from behind his back. Look! Whats this? Charlotte Lane saw the skewer of candied hawthorns andughed. Her father probably treated her like a child of few years old. Every time he picked her up, he would buy her snacks, saying he was worried she would get bored on the ride home. Yesterday it was cotton candy, the day before hand-beaten shrimp paste, the day before that a fruit cocktail, and the day before that, half-baked cheese No matter how Kevin rk tried, he never managed to fatten her up. After eating non-stop at home for a week, she gained over three pounds. Charlotte Lane took it and said, Thank you, Daddy. Andrew Lane enjoyed seeing herugh and felt merry, asking, Is theb keeping you busy? Nottely. Charlotte Lane replied while eating, In the uing one to two months, things might continue to be rxed. Charlottes idea of being rxed means theres a high chance of clocking out on time. Andrew Lane then said, For the next one to two months, Ille to pick you up every day. The face of Kevin rk suddenly shed through Charlottes mind, she smiled and said, Alright.
If Charlotte Lane couldnt go to the rks, Kevin rk woulde to the Lanes. Not long after Charlotte and Andrew Lane arrived home, Kevin rk arrived with Charles Amos. Ever since Charlotte returned to the Lane family, the Lanes hadnt seen Charles Amos. Charlotte was nning to bring Charles Amos to meet them after William Lane was discharged from the hospital and the family was all together. Also no one had told Charles Amos about this. Charles Amos only knew that at the rk Manor, the way his grandparents addressed his mother changed. They used to call her Lucia, but now theyre calling her Charlotte. But Charles Amos didnt think much about it. His mother had many names, some he had heard of, and some he hadnt. He got used to different people calling her different names and didnt pay much attention to it. He assumed it was a new identity, a new name. Just like when he went to Truro City to find his mother. When he heard Kevin rk call her Lucia, he didnt think much of it.
He just muttered to himself, so her name is Lucia now. So when they arrived at the Lanes and Kevin rk asked Charles Amos to call Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz as his grandparents, Charles Amos was stupefied. Not only didnt he call them that, he looked up at Kevin rk and asked, Why? Then he heard Charlotte Lane say, Because they are your grandparents. Charles Amos suddenly widened his eyes, leaning against Kevin rks leg, his pupils even trembled. He was clearly afraid. Seeing his reaction, Charlotte immediately realized. Charles Amos thought these were his father Edward Kirstens parents. So she immediately squatted down and looked at Charles Amos, saying, They are my parents. Charles Amos blinked his big eyes, saying, Your parents? Yes. Seeing him getting scared so quickly, Charlottes voice softened, My parents. Charles looked at Andrew couple who were smiling at him, then he looked at Charlotte, and asked her in a low voice, By blood? Yes.
It took Charles two seconds to ept this reality. Then he walked over to Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, looked up and obediently said, Grandpa, grandma. I am Charles. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz squatted down to talk to him, and they were obviously more popr than Kevin rk. Afterwards, Olivia Lane and Old Master Lane also came downstairs. Charles called out to his great-grandfather, and then his aunt. He finally understood why Olivia Lane was so insistent on having him call her aunt. Turns out she really was his aunt. As the four adults gathered around Charles Amos, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane went and sat to the side. Was it okay for him to call him great-grandfather? asked Charlotte Lane. Let him. Ites naturally. Kevin rk looked at her and replied. Third Master. You are an impressive one. Charlotte said, Using Charles as a shield in the rk manor, and now youre using him as a pass at our ce. Children after all. Kevin rk kissed Charlotte Lane while everyone was not paying attention to them, They are always useful to have around. Chapter 513: 456: Taking the Order Myself Chapter 513: Chapter 456: Taking the Order Myself The Lanes really liked Charles Amos. Charles was also willing to spend time to apany those who were nice to him. After dinner, everyone was chatting in the living room. Almost all the topics were about Charles Amos. His tone, speed, and pitch were very simr to Charlotte Lanes, except for his slightly childish voice due to his young age. Old Master Lane and the others always felt that Charles was like a mini version of Charlotte. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane were sitting together on a two-seater sofa, listening to their conversation. From time to time, Charlotte would banter with Charles, but Charles would always lose the argument. Did you see the assassins order on the dark web? Kevin whispered. Charlotte nodded, James Collins and Logan have told me. I heard its been hanging there for a week, and no one has taken it. Eighty percent of the killers who made it onto the dark web killer rankings were from the Hundred Demons Pavilion and Edward Darkmoons group. Although the others didnt know
And to hire them, not only did you have to have money, but also arge organization behind you. For example the previous tinum Burke Family didnt qualify, but now they do. So they posted an assassins order on the dark web. They were targeting Daisy Zane. But when everyone clicked in and found out it was Charlotte, they all silently withdrew. The news from Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon was directly reported to Kevin rk. James Collins and Logan directly reported to Charlotte Lane. Then Holt Lawrence entered the dark web and locked the order-taking permissions. To prevent the remaining twenty percent from taking the order. Charlotte nced at the messages on her cell phone and said, Your Third Uncle, is Edward Darkmoon not doing well? Tsk, Kevin clicked his tongue lightly, Theres no Third Uncle here. Charlotteughed. Kevin raised his hand to pinch her face, and noticing the side nces, he looked up to meet Andrew Lanes gaze. From Andrews fleeting nce, Kevin sensed his murderous intent to chop off his hand. Kevin remained calm and slowly withdrew his hand, sighing silently in his heart. He was beginning to regret why he had ruined his reputation so badly back then. Why had he made himself look like nothing more than a dissipated son in the eyes of others? Kevin thought very seriously that the only upation he could show off in front of his father-inw was his role at the Research Institute. But the father-inw knew very well that his daughter was more skilled than this dissipated son. Perhaps, her future position might be even higher than his.
So this doesnt count as an advantage. Kevin slowly began to think about how to clear his name. What are you thinking? Charlotte asked. Kevins thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at the little girl by his side, How is Edward Darkmoon not doing well? Didnt the Hundred Demons Pavilion not take the order either?
Charlotte shook her cell phone, Sorry, I took it. Kevin: Charlotte had just hacked open the lock set by Holt Lawrence and epted the order with her Nameless identity. When the permission lock was opened, Holt Lawrence was startled. Then he found out it was done by Charlotte. Immediately sent a series of ellipses over. Holt Lawrence: [Youre going to kill yourself? Are you giving up on Namelesss reputation?] Charlotte: [From now on, the nameless on the dark web will be reced by the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons Pavilion.] Holt Lawrence: [Youre ruthless.] How do you n to solve it? Kevin asked. Charlotte had just epted the order, and the dark web ount received detailed information about Daisy Zane. Im kind of missing the Silver Pce. Charlotte said. Kevin raised his eyebrows, Okay. Ill arrange the time. Hmm.
As for Nicholson Amos identity, everyone gradually epted it. The initial surprise, excitement, and agitation gradually faded. Then the question of why Daisy Zane, who had entered the Research Institute and was enjoying a high sry from the state, still wanted to enter the entertainment industry became a hot search again. Comments were divided into two groups again. One group criticized her for being a money-grubbing ghost, not being serious about research, not respecting research, and having a bad attitude. The other group defended her. During the time this issue was trending, it was the Research Institutes rest day. Kevin and Charlotte were in the Rose Garden. Anisa Cooper was also there. It had been a long time since Anisa had seen Charlotte, so she came over to talk to her about the endorsement from Spotlight ?>> Anisa was the first to see the hot search. She told Charlotte and Kevin about it. Then she saw the atmosphere between them bing stranger and stranger.
It was probably because Charlotte was acting carefree and unconcerned, while Kevin appeared extremely guilty. Not serious about research, not respecting research, bad research attitude Charlotte recited thements from the hot search in a soft voice, How can someone like this do research? Who would dare to use the things she researched with this attitude? Isnt this ying with peoples lives? The states investments are not for her to do research while ying With everyment she read, Kevins eyelids twitched. Third Master, dont you think the people online are quite right in what they say? Charlotte asked softly. Kevins brow twitched, and in a deep voice, he said, Theyre talking nonsense. How can you say that about yourself? Charlotte muttered nonchntly. Anisa stiffened her neck, swinging her gaze back and forth between the two. She reyed the conversation in her head, and then, like a sh of light, it dawned on her. Third Master rk was her Daisys secret hater! Anisas gaze towards Kevin instantly became alert. Kevin kept a straight face, his expression screaming that he wished he could stab himself. He nced at Anisa. Anisa immediately lowered her head pretending to look at the files in her hand. She looked at them for a while before realizing that there were only three words and a period on the page she had opened. Scaring my assistant. Charlottemented softly.
Anisa felt protected once again and raised her head. Kevin looked at Charlotte, his eyes pleading and weak. Charlotte and he stared at each other for a while Alright, her lust had clouded her judgment. This ount could be dyed. Daisy. Anisa looked at her phone and suddenly said in disbelief, Sister Emily is cursing people on Facebook. Charlotte raised an eyebrow. The always smooth-talking Hill Dawson was actually cursing people online. Less than a minute after Anisa finished speaking, the chat group belonging to the three of them buzzed. Hill Dawson: [I never knew cursing people was so fun.] Chapter 514: 457: Easton Group’s Chairman Chapter 514: Chapter 457: Easton Groups Chairman Hill Dawsons Personal Studio: [First of all, @DaisyZane, the two TV series, one movie and one variety show were all filmed before officially entering the Research Institute. During the filming process, none of the experimental projects involved had any problems and were allpleted on time. ] [Secondly, all the ie Daisy Zane earned was from her own hard work, and she deserved it. No matter how powerful or wealthy she is, she has the right to pursue her hobbies and no one has the right to deprive her of that. Who says that people with power and money cant be actors, cant film? If you dont have the ability to multitask, then dont nag about it. ] [Lastly, Daisy Zane didnt take a cent from the ie of her two TV series, one movie, and one variety show C she donated it all. Below are the details of all her ie and donations, as well as how each donation was spent. Every penny has a detailed record and proof. Not only can you verify it online, but also go to the local areas to check if the funds have been implemented. ] [Some people are just too idle, always sticking their nose into other peoples business. Just because you cant do it, doesnt mean others cant. Dont always try to understand others with your tiny-minded perspective. All you know is how to nag online, but in real life, you dont dare to make a sound. This online world is your fig leaf, your protection shell for being a coward. ] After posting on Facebook, Hill Dawson alsomented under her own post. [If you have the guts,e to my studio and scold me. Ill take care of you all in one sweep. ] Anisa Cooper stared at the post for a long time, unable toe back to her senses. For a moment, she even thought her Daisy might have some magic that could seize control, just now that post was sent by her Daisy through Hill Dawsons hand, and then she instantly came back. You seem pretty idle today. Charlotte Lane said. Although Hill Dawson had established her personal studio and was still under Maple Elite, she had gained much more power and freedom.
Anisa Cooper now also started to take care of many things in the studio, so she was much busier than when she was Charlotte Lanes assistant. Today, she was actually quite free, but looking at her closely, she seemed a bit listless. Hearing her voice, Anisa Cooper came back to reality, and when mentioning this matter, she became even more listless: Ah, today is Brother Millers birthday and I asked for leave. And then? Charlotte Lane asked softly. Then I got stood up. Anisa Cooper deted like a balloon, Brother Miller worked overtime for a week to make this day avable to be with me, and just when we finally had time today, he got an early morning call and had to leave. He wont be back, not even by tomorrow. Anisa Cooper said weakly, and then angrily added: The Easton Group s chairman is definitely a cold-blooded creature. A vampire with no humanity! He doesnt even let people celebrate their birthday! Its too much! Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and nced at Kevin rk. Kevin rk had no expression, listening to Anisa Coopers evaluation with a peace of mind. Daisy, my love life is even worse than long-distance rtionships. Anisa Cooper said with a sigh, At least long-distance couples can make phone calls and text messages. If I send a message, by the time I get a reply, I would need to scroll back up to see what I said to him. Charlotte Lane looked at this pitiful girl. Anisa Cooper continued: My contract is about to expire. After renewing it, there wont be any requirements for me to get married or have children. But with this situation I wont have any children in the next three years. Charlotte Lane: Daisy, when do you and Third Master n to have a baby? Anisa Cooper looked at Charlotte Lane, You guys have been married for a long time. And youve temporarily retired from the industry, have you thought about having one? Charlotte Lane: Indeed, they have been married for quite a while, but they always took good precautions. Kevin rk lowered his gaze and remained silent. Daisy, your child with Third Master will definitely be super good-looking. And they must be very smart. Anisa Cooper said, Daisy, do you prefer sons or daughters? Charlotte Lane suddenly thought of the little Kevin rk. I like both. Anisa Cooper said, Before giving birth, Ill definitely go to pray so that I can have twin babies C one boy and one girl. I just need to experience the pain once and have both. Charlotte Lane chuckled.
Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane and raised his eyebrows. Daisy, when the timees, Ill pray for you too. Anisa Cooper said sincerely, The Fertility Temple in the Imperial Capital is really effective. So you are a bit superstitious, after all. Charlotte Lane said. Anisa Cooper smiled.
Charlotte Lane looked at her for a while, then turned to Kevin rk: Is Arthur North really busytely? Kevin rk immediately understood her meaning: Not too bad, taking a day off should be no problem. Charlotte Lane nodded. Anisa Cooper listened to their conversation, suddenly feeling a bit confused. Kevin rk called Juan Wright: Is there someone named John Collins in charge of something? Anisa Cooper widened her eyes, looking at Kevin rk in shock. After Juan Wright finished speaking, Kevin rk asked again: Whats the progress? After Juan Wright reported the progress, Kevin rk thought for a moment and said: Give him two days off. As soon as Kevin rk hung up the phone, Anisa Cooper suddenly stood up. Then, while bowing and apologizing, she said: Third Master, Im sorry. Youre not cold-blooded at all, not a vampire at all; youre very considerate. If you say one more word, Ill take back what I just said, Kevin rk said. Anisa Cooper immediately stopped talking and looked at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane said, Go ahead. Let Sister Emily give you one more day off. Thank you, Daisy! Thank you, Third Master! Anisa Cooper immediately ran off, still floating when she left the Rose Garden.
Who on earth had she met?! That was the Easton Group! Wait a minute! Did she discover some big secret? The people behind the Easton Group were supposed to be confidential, right? So when she found out would she be silenced? Maybe she knew too much. However, Anisa Coopers concern didntst long. Because that evening, during her candlelight dinner date with John Collins she caught a glimpse of a message on her Facebook feed on her cell phone. Out of work habit, she instinctively clicked on it to take a look. A Weibo (Facebook) ount registered two years ago. Username: Kevin rk. Facebook Certification: Chairman of the Easton Group. As for the avatar it was a photo of Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane from their marriage certificate. Red background and white clothes, both of them were dressed in casual white shirts.
Both of them had their usual expressions, neither of them were smiling. But one could see the happiness in the calm depths of their eyes. One demon and one pure, both were extraordinary beauties. Despite their contrasting temperaments, they were a perfect match. Anisa Cooper subconsciously flipped through Kevin rks Facebook posts. There were not many, but every one of them was about Daisy Zane. And thetest post was published just three minutes ago. [My wife @Flynn Ninevara and I have always had a good rtionship. We had a good rtionship in the past, we have a good one now, and we will continue to have a good one in the future. To those who covet my wifes excellence and beauty, dont try to ruin my rtionship with my wife. First of all, youre not better looking than me. Secondly, youre not as outstanding as me. Dont have any unrealistic ideas; youre not worthy of my wife. Lastly, to those who spread rumors, expect a court summons tomorrow.] Chapter 515: 458: Singing in Unison Chapter 515: Chapter 458: Singing in Unison The biggest secret behind Easton Group has always been about the research content, not the founder. The reason for hiding this secret was that Kevin rk wanted to avoid trouble. With Hugo rk to inherit the rk Family, it was good for Kevin to appear as a yboy in the eyes of others. It could not only help him avoid a lot of trouble but also fend off romantic interests. And as it seemed now, the effect was quite significant. His father-inw was very dissatisfied with him. So he took the initiative to announce his identity as the chairman of Easton Group. Hoping to tear down thebels of relying on the family and being a dissipated son. As Kevin rk exposed his identity, it caused another uproar online. After ten minutes, Charlotte Lane went onto Catherines Facebook, liked her post, and then changed her profile picture to the photo of their marriage certificate. rk Manor
After having an early dinner, while everyone was chatting in the front hall, Kevin rk revealed his identity using his cell phone. Then the whole family stared at him. Not a single person spoke. With a calm expression, Kevin rk maintained eye contact under the pressure of his family. Charlotte Lane and Charles Amos watched the scene amusedly. This staring matchsted nearly three minutes, and Natalie Wayne continued to fiddle with her coaster. Elina rk took a sip of tea and said, Reimburse me for the two intelligent housekeepers at home. Dad, you won them fair and square, Kevin rk said, its not appropriate for me to reimburse. Elina rk stared at him, Are you trying to scam your dad out of money? Im helping you invest in the intelligent technology industry, Kevin rk said calmly. Oh Elina rk nodded, Wheres the return on my investment? Its in your sons hands. Elina rk red at his rebellious child and cursed, Youve got no shame. Kevin rkughed. After chatting with Mr. & Mrs. rk for a while, they went for a walk in the courtyard together. Only Finn rk, Charles Amos, Kevin rk, and Charlotte Lane were left in the front hall. At that moment, Charlotte Lane went to Facebook, liked a post, and changed her profile picture. Kevin rk watched her series of actions beside her, the corner of his mouth gradually lifting into a smile. After watching the two for a while, Finn rk asked, Kevin, what is Easton Group researching behind the scenes?
The smile in Kevin rks eyes faded slightly, looking at Finn rk, he asked after a moment, How did you know? His second brother must have known something, which was why he asked like that. The defense at the border has the Easton Groups logo, Finn rk said directly. Second brother, its ssified, Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, Even if youve been at the border all the time, you might not have known.
The information provided by Easton Group to the border is top-secret, and very few people on both sides know about it. Even if Finn rk had been at the border and never left, he might not know about it unless he reached a certain position. Being there for so long, I have my own methods, Finn said, clenching his hand beside him and then letting go. He had learned about it the year beforest. The border had a heavy significance for him, so he had always felt an affinity for the Easton Group as well. He just never thought that the Easton Group belonged to his younger brother. Because of me? Finns hand clenched again. He probably knew a bit about the Easton Group. He registered that year The second year after his death on the border. Because of you, Kevin rk said without hesitation. His voice remained as usual, without much emotional ups and downs. Slow, t. But Charlotte Lane heard it, Kevin rk was angry. Or, these three words were filled with resentment.
Arthur Norths heart ached, unable to speak for a moment. That year, the night before the mission, Arthur North had a phone call with Kevin rk. Arthur North told him the date he would be home. Kevin rk told him that Alex Justin would take him out for a performance. By the time he returned, he would probably have made a name for himself in the world. But many yearster, when he regained his memory and looked for Kevin rk, There was no news about the piano. It was said that Third Master of the rk Family had be useless, idle, and indulged in a life of debauchery. Completely different from the brother in his memory. He guessed that his departure had affected Kevin rk. Charles Amos sat on the carpet, holding a half-eaten strawberry in his hand, his big eyes flickering between his fathers. So you must know that I went easy on you that day, Kevin rks resentment quickly dissipated. Charles Amos finished the remaining half of his strawberry, lowered his gaze, and picked up a new one. Arthur North managed to squeeze out a smile. Kevin rk held Charlotte Lanes hand, slowly pinching it, and after a while asked, So wouldnt it be right to tell us what happened back then?
Arthur Norths eyes flickered slightly, and after being silent for a while, he leaned back and said, Indeed, I was shot during the mission at the border and fell down the snow mountain. The snow was heavy that day, and by the time I lost consciousness, my body was already half buried. I really thought I was going to die there. Charles Amos took another strawberry, watching Arthur North as he ate. But Im not sure what happened, but when I woke up, I had no memory, Arthur North said, When I woke up, I looked like Jack Amos. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes slightly: Where did you wake up? Arthur North hesitated for a moment, obviously not wanting to say, even intending to dodge the question. But Charlotte Lane didnt give him a chance, saying bluntly: The M Continent Laboratory, right? Arthur Norths eyshes flickered, and he continued to watch the couple in silence. Charlotte Lane said slowly: Honesty will make things easier. Kevin rk immediately followed up: Resistance will make things tougher. Arthur North: You two really pushed the limits. You cant swear, Charles Amos suddenly said. Arthur North nced at him: Children shouldnt interrupt when adults are talking. Charles Amos pouted and continued eating strawberries.
Kevin rk raised his eyebrows. Charlotte Lane nced at Charles Amos and said, At Continent A, when we were attacked, you sent us the note, right? Arthur North didnt want to talk. Not giving him a chance to think, Kevin rk immediately followed up Charlotte Lanes words: Dont deny it. Knowing Edward Kirsten and trusting both Little Girl and me. Among the people we both know who fit these criteria, theres only you. At that time, they didnt know that Jack Amos was still alive, so they couldnt find this person. But from the moment they knew Jack Amos was alive, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane immediately thought of him. At Doomsday Hotel, room 319 (ii) was also sent by you, right? Charlotte Lane continued. Arthur North: Kevin rk took a sip of tea: Honesty will make things easier. Charlotte Lane cooperated: Resistance will make things tougher. Arthur North: Is this perfect harmony a match made in hell? Chapter 516: 459 Chapter 516: Chapter 459 Finn rk waspletely questioned into submission by the two of them. Moreover, it was too difficult for him to deceive these two people. So hepromised and said, Its a pity that you two dont interrogate criminals.- You tter us, replied Kevin rk. Finn rk sighed and said, I did wake up in M Continent Laboratory. After waking up, I had no memory and looked like Jack Amos. They told me that my name was Jack Amos, a researcher at theboratory, but because of a serious injury and memory loss, I could not continue my research. So they let you live as Jack Amos, Kevin rk said. Yes, Finn rk replied, Later, I also verified that Jack Amos was indeed a researcher at M Continent Laboratory, and all the height and blood type matched. However, he was injured in an attack. The researchers who were attacked along with him all died. In fact, Jack Amos also died, but I took his ce. How did you end up in Continent A? Charlotte Lane asked. Because I couldnt do experiments, but I had to do something for theboratory. So I was assigned to get close to Edward Kirsten as an undercover agent, Finn rk paused before continuing, The first thing I did was to approach Harris Kirsten, and then I got close to Edward Kirsten. It was true that they used Harris Kirsten, and it was also true that they really liked Harris Kirsten. Finn rk looked down at his hands, his thumb rubbing along the side of his index finger. He was silent for a while before continuing, It seems that the M Continent Laboratory knows something about Edward Kirstens research. Theyve been wanting to obtain it, but Edward Kirsten is too cautious. After so many years, I havent even found out where theirboratory is.
This time, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane were silent for a moment. Kevin rk then said, The M Continent Laboratory cant research anything on their own, so they just steal from everywhere. Charlotte Lane added, Theyre used to being robbers and thieves. Finn rk nodded in agreement. So, after faking your death with Edward Kirsten, you returned to M Continent? Kevin rk asked Finn rk. Over so many years, not only in Continent A, I have also cultivated my own people in the M Continent Laboratory. Aftering out from Continent A, I was unconscious for a while, Finn rk exined casually, After waking up, I suddenly remembered a lot of things. Then I contacted my people from the M Continent Laboratory to see what they really wanted to do. Kevin rk looked at him for a while and asked, So, youve regained your memories for many years? Finn rk: You really know how to catch the key point. Kevin rk chuckled, I should have hit you harder that day. Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow, not saying anything. She had witnessed firsthand how severely Jack Amos had been injured. Even if he had regained his memories, it would have taken years to recover his physical strength. Finn rk smiled and said, At first, I was just curious about what M Continent was looking for with Edward Kirsten. But as the investigation deepened, I found out that they had teamed up. What M Continent had always wanted was 319. Charlotte Lane paused for a moment before asking, Have you ever seen what Edward Kirsten looks like? Finn rk hesitated, wondering why Charlotte Lane would ask such a question, Havent you seen him? I have, but I dont remember it, Charlotte Lane replied. Huh? Finn rk was still puzzled, but after a pause he asked cautiously, Is it because of me? Finn rk felt that his death had been too traumatic for Charlotte Lane, causing some sort of psychological damage. Charlotte Lane shook her head, Edward Kirsten must have hypnotized me. Upon hearing this, Finn rks guilt was slightly alleviated.
You wish, Kevin rk snorted. Finn rk: Why are you even jealous of your own brother? In front of my wife Kevin rk stared at Finn rk before slowly uttering, there is no brother. Finn rk:
Charlotte Lane coughed lightly. Both of them instantly became more serious. Finn rk said, I havent seen him. Edward Kirsten is overly cautious. Charlotte had expected this answer. Wilton Edwards was the person Edward Kirstens father left and though he took care of Harris more, he had been with Edward since he was young; but even Wilton had never seen Edward, let alone anyone else. She just thought that Finn rk, as Jack Amos, might have had a chance to see what Edward Kirsten looked like while undercover. I have a question. Charles Amos suddenly spoke up. All three adults looked at him. Why did Father have to rece only Jack Amos? Couldnt he have reced someone else? Was there anything special about Jack Amos? Wasnt he just a researcher? Charles asked while holding half a strawberry in his hand. The three adults fell silent for a moment. Charles Amos looked at them: Am I wrong? Youve been listening all this time? Finn rk said. Yeah, Charles Amos replied, Youve been talking here all along, of course I would listen.
Finn rk: Charles Amos raised half a strawberry: So why? Because Jack Amoss simrity to Second Brother Davis is very high. Charlotte Lane answered, Like height, blood type. They just need to change Second Brothers appearance a bit. Finn rk raised his eyebrows. He thought Charlotte wouldnt pay attention to him. After hearing her say this, Charles Amoss big eyes turned and he immediately understood. The M Continent Laboratory needed someone to go to Edward Kirstens side. And at this time, the injured Finn rk appeared. Even without memories, the skills and Kung Fu he possessed were still there. With a little training, he would be much faster than cultivating aplete neer. He didnt necessarily have to take on Jack Amoss identity. He just needed an identity to live with, an identity rted to M Continent Laboratory. He could rece any one of them from M Continent Laboratory. Its just that Jack Amos happened to have a high simrity to him, so he became Jack Amos. Shouldnt you be a bit more self-aware? Charlotte Lane looked at Charles Amos and said, Eating so much, do you want to spend the night on the toilet? Charles Amos had just put the half strawberry he was holding into his mouth and then picked up a new one.
Suddenly, as he looked into Charlottes eyes, he put the strawberry back and withdrew his guilty little hand. Finn rk lowered his gaze and looked at Charles Amos. Charlotte Lane had poured all her efforts into Charles Amos. She knew everything about him and tried her best to teach him. Charles Amos was excellent. Finn rk looked at Charles Amos for a while, then turned to Charlotte Lane and said, Ivee clean, sothe people from the Lane family opposite the Doomsday Hotel should withdraw, right? My brother hasnt been out for a long time. The brother who pretended to be a courier delivering package 319 (ii) to Doomsday Hotel. After escaping into the shop on that street, he never came out again. Because the people from the Lane family were guarding there all the time. No withdrawal. Kevin rk said decisively, If I hadnt asked, you wouldnt have said anything. I see that your brother is not in a hurry toe out either. You dont have the final say. Finn rk said, Its not your home. Charlotte Lane and Finn rk looked at each other for a while, then stood up and said, Its time to sleep. Kevin rk immediately stood up: Lets go, well go back to sleep.
Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane walked away hand in hand, leaving Finn rk with their backs. Finn rk: ????????? Charles Amos looked at him and put on an experienced expression, saying earnestly: Youll get used to it eventually. In the summer evening, a breeze blew across the river, apanied by the chirping of crickets in the grass, making it veryfortable and cozy. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane were walking towards North Court. Both of them had been quiet for a while before Kevin rk said, Shall we go to the Mountain Sea Continent next week? Charlotte Lane thought about her ongoing experiment and said, Yes. Then Ill talk to Dean Yue about it tomorrow, Kevin rk said, Well treat it like a rest in the Mountain Sea Continent. Charlotte Lane raised the corner of her mouth: Ive already fallen to the point where I need to go to the Mountain Sea Continent for rest. Kevin rk also smiled: Will Roy Madison be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days? Charlotte Lane nodded: Just in time, were going to the Mountain Sea Continent. My brother will take over the experiment at the research institute Poor guy, hell have a lot of work right after being discharged from the hospital. It is a bit miserable. Chapter 517: 460: Ezekiel Santiago Chapter 517: Chapter 460: Ezekiel Santiago Kevin rk and Charlotte Lanesboratories were arranged, and they nned to go to Mountain Sea Continent next week. However, Kevin rk got held up when he went to ask for leave from Ezekiel Santiago. Turner Daniel, Ezekiel Santiagos grandson, did not major in pharmaceutical formtion in college, so his only way to join the Research Institute was the same as Charlotte Lanes. First, he had to pass the examination to obtain the qualifications for the Research Institutes training, and then go through two years of training, pass all the assessments in these two years, and finally obtain the qualifications for entering the Research Institute. Last year, after Santiago suffered an attack, Turner Daniel quit his field, took the exam and got the qualifications for the Research Institutes training. Now its time for the final examination, and Santiago wants Nicholson Amos to mentor his grandson. After listening to this matter, Kevin rk directly refused: Whats going on? Giving preferential treatment to your own grandson? Im different from you. Santiago said with a serious face, You can treat your own wife fairly and impartially. I cant. If I have the resources, of course I want to pave the way for my grandson. Kevin rk: .. Seeing him silent for a moment, Santiago chuckled. Mentioning Nicholson Amos was still effective. Kevin rk looked at him and asked after a while, Why do you want to do this?
What do you mean, why do I want to do this? There are so many people in the Research Institute. Turner Daniel still has a professor to teach him. Why do you have to find Nicholson Amos to mentor him? Kevin rk asked. Can just anyone mentor my grandson? Santiago said, To be honest, I dont even look up to you. Kevin rk narrowed his eyes. Santiagos momentum weakened a bit, and he coughed lightly, Ill tell you the truth. After this final examination, the professor who is mentoring him will retire, and I want Nicholson Amos to mentor him. Kevin rk looked at Santiago and was silent for a while. Santiago was sweating under his gaze, What are you looking at? Is there something on my face? Old man, theres something wrong with you. Kevin rk said gravely. After a while, Santiago sighed, Harton, theres no need for someone to be so clever. After sighing, Kevin rk saw that Santiago looked somewhat listless, Whats the matter? I had a recent medical check. Leukemia. Santiago said calmly, If the medicine can control it, I can live for one or two more years. Therefore, I want Turner Daniel to quickly develop the ability to take over my position. Kevin rk furrowed his brows and hesitated for a while, Is medicine the only way to control it? Yes. Santiago nodded, After thest attack, my health has been poor. If I try other methods, I may die even faster. Kevin rk lowered his gaze and kept silent. After a long silence in the office, Santiago spoke, Everyone has toe to this point eventually. Im in my eighties, and I have lived well enough. Is it because of the harm caused by chemical drugs? Kevin rk asked. This is a major factor. Santiago said, So, when youre conducting research, be sure to protect yourself. Kevin rk was silent for a while, I can agree to your request, but whether Turner Daniel has the ability to take over the Research Institute will depend on him. Santiago smiled, There are you and Roy Madison to help him.
Kevin rk shook his head, I only recognize merit. If he is not suitable, he should give way to someone more qualified. Thats your business. Santiago said, What I can do for the Research Institute and the Santiago Family is this. Ive fulfilled my duties. After that, its their business, and your business. Kevin was silent for a while, Who knows about the illness? Just you and my Assistant. Santiago said, I dont want to tell anyone else for now. At this time, if a controversy over the position of the Dean arises, it would just create an opportunity for our enemies.
So, even Santiagos treatment was done secretly. I might not be able to keep it from Nicholson Amos. Kevin said, Her research is of great importance. You suddenly ask her to mentor your grandson. Can you find a reason to convince her? Well, then only the four of us should know. Santiago said. Kevin rk nodded his head. After sitting in Santiagos office for a while, Kevin decided to leave. He walked to the door, and his hand touched the doorknob before he stopped. After a few seconds, he turned back and said, Old man, hang in there, the special-effects medicine can be researched. Santiago smiled lightly, Okay. Because of Santiagos entrustment, the time for Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane to go to the Mountain Sea Continent was postponed. Santiago had a deep gratitude towards Charlotte Lane. After hearing about Santiagos situation, Charlotte Lane visited him and said almost the same thing to Kevin rk, that the special-effects medicine could be researched. The Research Institute was so huge that many drugs for difficult andplex diseases were their key projects. They were always being researched.
Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk were not just talking, but genuinely had hope. Afterwards, Charlotte Lane repaid her gratitude to Santiago by mentoring Turner Daniel with great seriousness and dedication. After carefully assessing Turner Daniels abilities, she devised a n for him. Third Master rk was also appointed as an assistant and was responsible for most of themunication between Charlotte Lane and Turner Daniel. Both of them mentored him with great dedication. After being discharged from the hospital, the Lane family gathered and celebrated. On the day of William Lanes discharge, the Lane family gathered together for a celebration. The next day, they invited some friends over, and the rk and Hobson families came to join them. After everyone happily gathered, the Lane couple didnt return home for three consecutive days. For three days in a row, young and old in the family didnt see the couple, just received phone calls from them. Andrew Lane even stopped picking up Charlotte Lane from work. At first, Charlotte Lane didnt notice anything. When Andrew Lane stopped driving her, Kevin rk took her back to the rk Family home.
Even on the fourth day when Andrew Lane came to pick her up from work and Sophie Ortiz returned home, Charlotte Lane still didnt notice anything. Both of them seemed normal, as if they had just been away for three days. It wasnt until the evening when Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk finished their video call and were preparing to go to bed. Robinson Scott sent her some photos, saying: [Brother Nine, are these your parents? I saw theming in and out of this hospital for three consecutive days.] Charlotte Lane looked at the photos. They wore different clothes and had entered and exited the hospital over the past three days. And after zooming in one photo, it was clear that Sophie Ortiz seems to have cried, as her eyes were swollen. That moment, Charlotte Lanes drowsiness disappeared. She sat on the bed for a while and then opened herputer to hack the hospitals system. But she couldnt find any information about Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane. So, Charlotte Lane hacked their cell phones. In the end, she found the information on Sophie Ortizs phone. She had searched the functions of many medicinal materials, and also some cases of treating infertility. She looked for cure rates as well as the pain suffered during the treatment process. After searching, Sophie Ortiz deleted all the information.
Staring at the information found on herputer, Charlotte Lanes fingertips grew colder and colder, and the blood on her lips slowly faded Chapter 518: 461: Inspection Chapter 518: Chapter 461: Inspection The room was lit only by a dim bedsidemp; the surrounding darkness struggled with the weak light, constantly encroaching. Charlotte Lane sat on the edge of the bed, staring at something on theputer. She looked cold and numb. After a long time, her fingertips moved to close the page on theputer, then opened the appointment registration page for the First Hospital. She booked an appointment for tomorrow morning and turned off theputer. Charlottey in bed, closing her eyes. If it wasnt her, the person who made Sophie Ortiz hide outside for three days withouting home, continuously going in and out of the hospital, crying red-eyed, and still having this kind of problem would be Olivia Lane. But her mother had checked so many herbal ingredients. So there was a more than ny percent chance that the person was herself. Only she was taking herbal medicine at home. Long ago, Sophie had asked her what she drank every morning. She said it was to regte her body.
She indeed never thought about it in that way, she actually thought it was for regting her menstrual period. She didnt even know what medicines were in the medicine packet. Sophie probably didnt trust her and thought she was deceiving them, so she took the leftover medicine to investigate. Thinking back she trusted Arthur North too much back then. She said she was on guard, but deep down she still believed him. Arthur gave her the medicine, and she took it without even checking it. If Arthur wasnt a good person and had poisoned her, she might have already gone through a Memorial Day. The next day, Charlotte was sent to work at the Research Institute as usual by Andrew Lane. Arthur North was also waiting for her at the entrance of the Research Institute as usual. The two entered the Experimental Tower together, and Arthur sent her to the entrance of the Laboratory before going back to his own Laboratory. After Charlotte entered the Laboratory, she checked the progress of the experiments, arranged some tasks, and left an hourter. She went straight to the hospital. After having her physical examination, she sat in the corridor of the Hospital for a while and then went to the Traditional Medicine Department. She asked about the function of the herbal medicine packet. Actually, Arthur had changed her medicine several times, but she didnt inquire about it. Arthur gave it to her, and she just took it. She knew that the medicines were changed because sometimes the taste of the medicine was different. As soon as it was past twelve noon, Arthur came out of hisb, went upstairs to find Charlotte for lunch. But when he arrived at theb, he found she wasnt there. He walked downstairs, calling Charlotte on the phone.
Miss, whered you go off to? How could you sneak out like that? Listening to his voice, Charlotte went quiet for a moment, and then said, Im at the First Hospital. The smile in Arthurs eyes disappeared instantly, and his voice became tense and serious, Whats wrong? Not feeling well? Its fine, dont worry. Charlotte Lane had just left the hospital. She had consulted many treatment ns and lost track of time, realizing it was alreadyte. Ore pick me up.
Alright, wait for me. Ill be right there. Kevin rk couldnt detect any abnormalities in her voice, but he couldnt help but worry about her for some reason. Alright. After hanging up, Charlotte raised her head to look at the ring sunlight, then walked to a little park in front of the hospital and found a spot with tree shade to sit down. She took out her cell phone, found Robinson Scotts WhatsApp, and opened their chat. She replied to Robinsons message fromst night: [Asked already. Its fine. Why are you still in the hospital?] After a while, Robinson replied: [Allonzo Hobson is hospitalized. Im here to bring him meals every day.] Charlotte Lane: [What happened to him?] Robinson Scott: [Nothing serious. He just staged an ident by himself. I punched him, and his lower back hit the staircase. He insists on staying in the hospital, iming he cant move. Luckily the hospital has enough beds; otherwise, I would have let him stay in the corridor. Id hire someone to watch him eat, drink, poop, and pee.] Charlotte Laneughed: [Why did you hit him?] Robinson Scott sent a voice message with a fierce tone: The night we came back from the party at your ce, he had a few drinks. He came back and kissed me! Just kissing wouldve been fine, but he wouldnt stop, even kissing my legs until they went weak. Charlotte raised her brows after listening to it. Then Robinson sent another voice message: Brother Nine, Im kind of regretting it now. If I had known he was so shameless, I would have beaten him up more that night. Regardless of the oue, I would have had to care for him anyway, so I might as well have made sure he really ended up lying in bed! After a while, Robinson sent another one: Brother Nine- what should I do? How did I fall for him? I cant look at younger guys anymore, cant casually add their contact info, cant flirt with them anymore. How did I end up here today!! I deleted over a hundred contactsst night in tears. How can I give up an entire sea for one person? I cant figure it out-
Charlotte listened to her excited, sad, and regretful mixed tone, and raised the corners of her mouth, then put away her phone. She leaned back on the bench, listening to the cicadas chirping and watching the mottled sunlight filtering through the tree leaves. This is a permanent damage, with a very, very low chance of recovery. The doctors words floated in her ear. Indeed, there are such cases where most people chose treatment, but so far, none have been sessful. This prescription is primarily for nourishing the body of people with infertility. Since infertility is caused by physical damage, these medications focus on regting your body. But its not specifically for fertility. Its just for regting and protecting your body from the effects of hormones and other factors. The purpose is to help you avoid potential problems that might arise as you age. The person who prepared the medicine chose a gentle approach to protect and strengthen your body in the long term. For traditional medicine, treating your condition would involve fortifying the fundamentals and using specific medications. But the medicine might be strong, causing a series of medicinal reactions such as body pain, vomiting, loss of appetite, and each persons body is different, so there might be some permanent side effects. Charlottes cold phoenix eyes gazed at the tree leaves, thinking about what the Chinese and Western doctors had said when suddenly a shadow enveloped her and blocked her sight. First, she saw the ck shirt on Kevin rks body, and his rising and falling chest. Then her gaze moved upward to his face. Even though it was from a lower perspective, Kevin looked as stunning as ever, especially with tiny crystal-like beads of sweat on his forehead, translucent skin, long and narrow eyes, and deep red thin lips, making him appear even more enchanting. Kevin looked down at her. After a moment, he squatted in front of her, and his gaze shifted from looking down to looking up: Are you feeling unwell?
His voice was soft, but worried and tense. Charlottes gaze followed his face as he moved, not saying anything. Seeing she didnt speak, Kevin nced at her hand, and then at her side. He spotted a corner of a piece of paper sticking out of her pocket. He took it out directly; it was theb report results. While opening it, Kevin could feel his hand trembling. But after reading, he breathed a sigh of relief. His heart that had been lifted also dropped back down somewhat. Chapter 519: 462: Because I Like You Chapter 519: Chapter 462: Because I Like You Charlotte Lane knew that the medicine she drank had been prescribed by Kevin rk, so she believed he should be aware of its effects. However, she was afraid that he might not know and had only prescribed these specific herbs because he thought they were effective. Because she had never been quite sure about Kevin rks medical expertise. She kept watching Kevin rks reaction. Only when she saw him rx after reading the report did she confirm that he knew. Kevin rk knelt in front of her, carefully folded the report, put it in his pocket, then looked at her and asked softly, What made you suddenly decide to get a check-up? It was my parents. They came to the hospital to ask what my herbal medicine was for, Charlotte Lane replied simply. Kevin rk held Charlotte Lanes hand, gently caressing it: Then why did youe by yourself? They didnt tell me about it, I found out on my own. Charlotte Lane paused before continuing, You always knew? Kevin rk nodded. Charlotte Lane looked at him: Was it the time I had a fever? Yes.
It was so early, and at that time, Kevin rk had just started to have feelings and curiosity for her. I have a responsibility. Its rted to the training I had that year. Kevin rk thought about the events of that year, frowning slightly. You didnt know it was me. And Ive said it before, its all voluntary on my part. Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk knew she was Martin Hanzels when they were already married. Despite knowing about her health issues, he had stayed by her side and married her. Why did you marry me then? Charlotte Lanes voice was still cold and calm. Because I like you, I love you. Kevin rk held her hand, looked at her, liking you and having a child of my own have no necessary connection, and theres no cause-and-effect rtionship. But, Kevin rk, you wont have your own child. Charlotte Lanes voice cooled down a bit more, Ive just thought about it, if you dare to let someone else give birth to your child, I might cripple you. Kevin rkughed and then said, Ive just thought about it too, if there were a child, it would take away the little girls love for me, so its better not to have one. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. Kevin rk touched her face: I just want my little girl to be healthy and well. Charlotte Lane slowly lowered her gaze, remaining silent. Kevin rk kept looking at her, keeping silent with her for a while. Just when he was about to speak, Charlotte Lane suddenly spoke up. Then why do you take such good precautions every time? Doesnt it feel ufortable? Theforting words were on the tip of his tongue, but they got stuck there, and he couldnt say them. Kevin rks lips trembled, and his forehead twitched. The sudden change of topic caught him off guard, and he couldnt even utter a single syble. Third Uncle, dont use it next time. Charlotte Lane seemed to be seriously suggesting. Kevin rks tenderness vanished in an instant, and he gritted his teeth, Dont call me Third Uncle when youre talking about this kind of thing. Ill call you that next time when were doing it. Charlotte Lane said.
Kevin rks expression changed dramatically, his face turning an interesting shade of green. He looked like he wanted to bite her, but restrained himself, You try it. Charlotte Lane felt her life was threatened for a moment. She had a feeling that if she dared to call him, Kevin rk might not let her leave the bed alive. Threatening me? Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow.
Kevin rk sighed softly, and his voice softened again, I wouldnt dare. Charlotte Lane smiled, lowered her head, and gently tapped her forehead against his, then kissed his lips, Get up, sit here. Kevin rk got up and sat next to her. Why didnt you tell me? Charlotte Lane asked. I was afraid youd think too much about it. Kevin rk replied. So, taking such good precautions was to keep it a secret from me. Kevin rk: But you dont tell me. And we never have a child, Id think its because you cant do it. Charlotte Lanes voice slowed down. Tsk. Kevin rk turned his head to look at her, Little girl, are you asking to be bullied? Charlotte Lanes hand was held by Kevin rk, and she touched the ring on his ring finger,ughing. Kevin rk looked at herughter, finally sighing helplessly, andughed with her too. Charlotte Lane went home that evening and talked with Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz.
Sophie Ortiz kept shedding tears. It was only after she found out what the medicine was treating that she couldnt control herself and moved out with Andrew Lane. She kept asking about the cure rate and Charlotte Lanes physical condition. Does Kevin rk know? Andrew Lane asked. Yes, Charlotte Lane replied, The medicine Ive been taking to regte my body has always been prepared by him. I see, I heard that he and his mother studied traditional medicine. Andrew Lane said and then added, This kidhes not bad. Since they had been in and out of the hospital, they had checked the medicine packet. They naturally knew that the primary purpose of the medicine packet was to focus on Charlotte Lanes body,pletely for her well-being. It was not to have a child that she was given those medicines. Charlotte Lane slightly raised the corner of her mouth: My eyesight has always been good. Andrew Lane was silent for a moment: But that doesnt mean he can take advantage of her. Yes, Ill follow your advice, Charlotte Lane replied. The next day, Andrew Lane took Charlotte Lane, as well as Roy Madison, to work.
Charlotte Lane sipped yogurt and sat in the back with Andrew Lane. Roy Madison sat in the copilot seat, looking at the yogurt in Charlotte Lanes hand, and asked, I didnt see you take it from home, where did you get it? Dad gave it to me. Roy Madison looked at Andrew Lane. Andrew Lane nced at him, What are you looking at? If you want to drink, go buy it yourself. Roy Madison: Charlotte Lane chuckled. Roy Madison looked at her and then gave her an envious look. When they arrived at the research institute, Kevin rk saw Roy Madison get out of the car at the entrance and his face darkened a degree. Charlotte Lane went home every day, so the amount of time that just the two of them were alone in the research institute during the day had increased with Roy Madison around. Whats with that expression? Roy Madison deliberately asked, Youre weing your brother back to the research institute like this? Who said you and I are brothers? Kevin rk didnt even want to look at him. Oh, right. Im your cousin Smith. As Roy Madison said this, he felt a refreshing sense of having his grievances of many years redressed.
Kevin rk had a retort on the tip of his tongue, but seeing that Andrew Lanes car hadnt left yet, he swallowed the words and ignored him. Kevin rk. Andrew Lane suddenly called out to him. Uncle Lane. Are you free this morning? Yes. Kevin rk replied and nced at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane blinked her eyes, and he understood immediately that she had talked with themst night. Ill wait for you here. After you clock in,e out when you have time, I have something to talk to you about. Andrew Lane said. Uncle Lane, I can do it now. I dont need to clock in. Kevin rk walked towards the car. Andrew Lane looked at him. Although his expression was neutral, he was asking why. Roy Madison joked, Dad, your son-inw often deducts money from the research institute due to beingte, leaving early, and absent from work. Kevin rk: Thank you for establishing such an image of me. Chapter 520: 463: Conversation Chapter 520: Chapter 463: Conversation Coffee Shop Kevin rk and Andrew Lane sat facing each other. The two of them were silent for a while before Andrew spoke up, Do you know why I wanted to talk to you? I have some idea, Kevin replied honestly. Andrew fell silent for a moment and then continued, Kevin rk, actually, I quite admire you as a person. Kevin rubbed his fingertips, waiting for him to say but. But Although I admire you, Ive never thought of marrying my daughter to you like my father did, Andrew said, Youre too calcting, tooplicated. And youre ruthless. To be honest, Im not at ease. Kevin didnt say anything. Andrew didnt need him to say anything either: Of course my understanding of you is rtively one-sided. Because we didnt spend much time together in the past. Back then, we would only meet once a year on Ls birthday. So I need time to get to know you. I understand, Kevin said. However I am still willing to trust Ls judgment, Andrew said, I always pick her up to take her home, indeed, my personal preference weighs heavier. Sometimes, I even deliberately avoid thinking about the fact that shes already married. I dont love her to the point of wanting to control her; I just cant ept the fact that she got married as soon as she came back.
Kevin couldnt fully empathize with a fathers love for his daughter. But he thought of Charlotte Lane when she was little C so adorable and smart. Back then, he didnt think she was that cute. She was just clingy, making him have to hold her. However, now thinking about that time, Kevin felt that she was really adorable. So he could understand why the Lane family was reluctant to let their daughter get married. Anyone would be reluctant, right? Kevin rk, have you really thought about Ls health issues? Andrew finally mentioned the main issue of the day. Yes, Kevin replied, Uncle Lane, no matter what I say to you now, it would be better to show it in my actions in the future. Time will prove Little Girls judgment. Andrew smiled and said, A persons life is very long; with the increase of age, desires and needs will constantly change. You dont like children now and feel indifferent about having them or not, but you may think differentlyter on. Kevin stayed silent but looked frank, revealing his deep feelings for Charlotte Lane. William Lane looked at Kevin and said, No one can predict the future. So lets not talk about the future, just focus on the present. Just focus on the countless possible futures that maye. You reap what you sow. Kevin listened to him. I know you really like L right now. What we all want to see in the future is that both of you always love each other, Andrew said, But there may be unhappy times as well. If that day reallyes, lets be civil about it. If Kiara and I are still alive, you can tell us, and well take our daughter home. If were not around, you can tell Roy, and hell take her home. Kevins brow slightly furrowed. Andrew continued, But if you dare to use this matter to hurt her. I wont care if Im right or wrong, whether I feel guilty. Ill take your life. Kevin looked at him, listened to his words, and stayed silent for a moment before speaking, Uncle Lane, although none of us knows what will happen in the future, arent we all working towards the future we want right now? Andrew looked at him. The future I want is to spend the rest of my life with Little Girl, Kevin said, You also said that you reap what you sow. The fruit I want is a future with Little Girl in it. So everything I do will be for her. Andrew continued to look at him.
All Im saying is a promise, Kevin said, Ill take action to fulfill this promise. Ill use my whole life to prove it. After looking at Kevin for a long time, Andrew finally cracked a smile. Just talking about Kevin as a person, he indeed admired him. Especially his approach to the matter with Charlotte, as a man, Andrew truly admired it.
Even this matter made himpletely change his view on Kevin. However, as a father, he was afraid that his daughter might be wronged in her husbands family or that Charlotte might feel guilty towards Kevin because of this matter. So he had toe here today, to support his daughter. He couldnt let anyone bully his daughter because of this matter. If in their marriage this issue is a stumbling block, then the two people can amicably separate but they shouldnt bully his daughter. Alright, Andrew said, Remember what you said today. Mhm. When Kevin returned to the Research Institute, Charlotte Lane, and William Lane were both sitting at the steps of the entrance to his Experimental Tower. When the siblings heard footsteps, they both looked up at him. For a moment, Kevin thought the two of them looked quite alike. Why are you here? Kevin approached and pulled Charlotte up. Charlotte joked, Just passing by.
Kevinughed, You came to see if Im still intact, huh? If thats how you want to think about it, sure, Charlotte replied, relieved that he seemed alright, and said, Im going back to theb. Kevin caught her, Youve been waiting for me here, arent you going tofort me? Do you needfort? Charlotte looked into his eyes and asked. Being seen through, Kevin shamelessly said, Yes, I need it. Rolling their eyes on the steps, William interjected, Charlotte nced at William and then pulled Kevins cor to turn him around and stepped down another step. This conveniently blocked Williams line of sight. She then kissed him on the lips. After kissing him, she turned around and left, leaving him with just a view of her back. It was like a shameless woman who put on her clothes and didnt recognize her lover from the night before. Kevin watched her back andughed softly after a while. Meanwhile, William, whose view was blocked and could only see Kevins back, could guess what the two were doing and clicked his tongue softly. Any objections? Kevin turned to look at him. Can you at least show some initiative? Thats my sister, youre not going to curry favor with me? William said.
What does your opinion matter? Kevin retorted, Little Girl wouldnt listen to you even when she was three. William was rendered speechless. Has Little Girl mentioned anything to you? Kevin asked. Yes, William stretched his legs, She wanted us to reduce our obstacles to you. Did you? Kevin asked. No, William replied. Thats fine because I dont need it, Kevin said, Its better if you guys give me a hard time. That way, Little Girl will feel more sorry for me, and then shell be even nicer to me. Do you have no shame? Kevin raised an eyebrow but didnt answer. William also fell silent for a moment before whispering, Howe L has suffered so much? Kevins eyshes trembled slightly and, after a while, he said, She wont anymore in the future. Chapter 521: 464: What Are You All Arguing About? Chapter 521: Chapter 464: What Are You All Arguing About? In early August, Spotlight announced that Daisy Zane would be the spokesperson for theirtest jewelry collection. After the announcement, Maple Elite Entertainment, Hill Dawsons studio, and both Daisy Zane and Kevin rks Facebook ounts shared the news. Thements section was harmonious, with everyone congratting them. Even fans of Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zane praised each other, celebrating the coboration between the two brands. Finally, aizen teasingly scolded both brands, joking that they were coborating with themselves and that they had a problem. Its just one person, so whats there to celebrate about coborating with oneself? Soon after, Felix Bakers personal Facebook ount updated its status. [This coboration dates back to the Spotlight G the year beforest. At that time, our Chief Designer was still single. Back then, the young Miss Zane had not yet revealed her true identity. Third Master rk approached me and discussed a series of endorsements. He told me that her fame would definitely be able to support Spotlights endorsement. Now, Young Miss Zane has lived up to everyones expectations and Third Masters hopes with her fame. So, there are some people who have endorsed themselves.] Felix made no attempt to hide the fact that he had to bow his head to capital interests. After all, his own Chief Designer would be endorsing his own brand in the end. Moreover, over the years, he has only ever bowed his head to Kevin rk with so much capital involved.
One reason was that the amount he offered back then was simply too much. The other reason was that it was better to keep the benefits within the family, since the person in question was his own Chief Designer. So, he didnt avoid talking about these things. As soon as this status was posted, thements section was filled withughter. A few negativements were drowned out in the sea ofughter. Afterughing at Felix Bakers Facebook post, everyone rushed back to Kevin rks Facebook page. [Sisters, hurry up, hurry up! Theres a big, grievously wronged party here. A huge one!] [It seems like theres a big, grievously wronged party here. Im not sure yet, let me take a closer look.] [Hahahaha, thank you, Third Master, for giving me so much joy today.] [Am I the only one who wants to know how Third Master felt when he found out the truth?] [It turns out that the road Third Master took to chase after his wife was so bumpy. Its really hard not tough.] [So impressive, Third Master is truly impressive. He somehow makes his own wife earn the money for him.] [It turns out that Third Master didnt know at the beginning. Comparing this to now, I suddenly feel much better.] Kevin rk didnt know he was beingughed at by the entire inte. Today they were taking a day off, and he had initially nned to visit the Easton Group in the morning. But after breakfast, Charlotte Lane arrived, so he worked in the study instead. Charlotte was initially in the study with him, but she left with Charles Amos to have fun after less than an hour. It wasnt until almost 11 oclock when his cell phone kept ringing that he finally checked it. They were all links shared by Allonzo Hobson. And messages of Hahahahaha sent by Allonzo Hobson.
Only then did he open Facebook and look at what was happening online. Spotlight and Felix Baker had posted on Facebook around eight in the morning, and now, after so long, the inte was even more lively. Spotlight and Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts werepeting for the top spot. It all started at 9 oclock, when a hot search suddenly appeared on Facebook: [Daisy Zanes attire.]
Upon clicking on the entry, it was a fashion blogger analyzing Daisy Zanes attire from the past two years. There were more skirts and some casual wear. All these clothes looked very much like Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and more specifically, like Joseph Allens designs. But they didnt have the Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts logo. The Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts logo appears on their clothes in ways you wouldnt expect. Some are just ordinary logos, some are integrated into the design, and some appear as decorations. But no matter in what form, its always there. However, none of the clothes Daisy Zane wore had it. Moreover, the blogger noticed a strange detail: every piece of clothing had pockets, even skirts. A few photos taken by fans who happened to encounter her showed Daisy putting her cell phone into her skirt pocket. Another point was that all these clothes matched the theme colors of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and they suited Daisy Zanes personality well. Even the skirts were not of a sweet and gentle style. It actually entuated Daisy Zanes cool, stunning, and refreshing aura.
It waspletely tailored specifically for her. The blogger analyzed everything and came to a conclusion. There might be a design team behind Daisy Zane, giarizing Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, as well as Joseph Allens designs. It wasnt the first time her outfits were discussed online. Josephs designs were unique, and they were easily recognizable as his work. At first, people imed that Daisy Zane was wearing counterfeit clothes. However, given Daisy Zanes background, she wouldnt stoop to wearing fakes. Even though it wasnt likely that she could wear Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirt as daily wear, having a few pieces shouldnt be a problem. Moreover, not just any counterfeit would look like this. So, the possibility of a design team giarizing works on her behalf became quite significant. Wearing counterfeit clothes and having a design team giarizing works were twopletely different concepts. The voices of doubt online were growing. This blogger analyzed too much, and Daisys fans couldnt find a way to refute the usations.
All they could do was repeat the same line: [We believe in Daisy. Were waiting for her response.] Howeveran hour passed with no response. Hill Dawson didnt dare disclose her identity carelessly, so she sent Daisy a message. But Charlotte Lane was busy watching Charles Amos training at rk Manor. This year, rk Manor had many swings. Charlotte sat on one of them, watching Charles Amos and Harton rk stand at attention. Then she watched Harton rk and Charles Amos standing at ease, turning left and right, and running in ce. She hadnt even noticed the message on her cellphone. With no response for a long time, the doubters voices became even more intense. They kept tagging Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, Joseph Allen, and Austin Allen, asking Austin Allen to sue on behalf of his brother right away. Since Austin never lost awsuit, theizens believed that Daisy Zane was in even greater danger this time. Finally, at around 10:40, Joseph Allen posted on Facebook, [Since everyone has hyped up the situation, I think its not bad to give everyone another surprise. Officially introducing @Daisy Zane@ Flynn Ninevara as Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts founder and chief designer C Shopie Easton. And, all the clothes Shopie has worn have been my own designs without giarism. Since she doesnt like carrying bags, each skirt also has pockets added. Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts products are naturally based on their theme colors. As their chief and founder, I dont need to wear clothes from others. As their chief and founder, I have the funds to wear Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts as my daily attire.]
Beneath Joseph Allens Facebook post, there was an array of question marks at first. Then, theizens went crazy. [Help! Help! Can you not treat me like this? It makes me feel like a useless extra in this world.] [Oh my God, can you stop letting Daisy Zane show off? I cant take it.] [I admit, Im a hater. But I cant hate her. Im leaving the Inte, see you all in the next life online.] [Ah our fans were worriedly discussing whether or not to knock Austin and Joseph unconscious, preventing them from speaking. And then you tell me, youre one of the founders of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts.] [Im mad, unfollowing for a day.] [Suddenly feel like Im not worthy of being her fan.] [You know what, I think Third Master rk might have aimed too high.] [Sister, thats the Easton Group, one of the worlds wealthiest conglomerates. Third Masters wealth is unimaginable, and his nobility is unattainable.] [Thats it, Im going to study. Im not worthy of being a Daisy Zane fan. Everyone lets meet at the top in the future.] The rivalry between Felix Baker and Joseph Allen for the position of Chief Designer then emerged. At first, it was happening just beneath Joseph Allens Facebook post. Likewise, they both posted on their own Facebook, Felix Baker: [@DaisyZane@FlynnNinevara. Our Spotlights Chief!] Joseph Allen: [@DaisyZane@FlynnNinevara. The founder and Chief Designer of Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts.] C Then pinned the post. Netizens went from shock to enjoying the show. Arthur North, witnessing the situation, posted on Facebook: [@JosephAllen @FelixBaker. My wife, what are you two fighting for?] Chapter 522: 465: The Day of Apprenticeship Chapter 522: Chapter 465: The Day of Apprenticeship Kevin rk only posted a few words on Facebook, but it made people feel a sense of oppression. It also made people feel the unfathomable sense of jealousy. [Sisters, honestly, Ive been going back and forth, in and out, below these three peoples Facebook posts, and sparks have been flying.] [The great grieved party has turned into a giant vat of vinegar.] [Oh my God, what is making meugh at the chairman of Easton Group.] [Hes anxious, hes anxious, hes anxious.] [It turns out that three men can really put on a show together.] [Oh, my goodness, my head is rolling withughter.] [Third Master rk does have a bit of a domineering CEO vibe to him, but not much. As for why its not much, its because, in contrast to Brook Sister, its just not much.] [Damn! Third Master rk is really scary, okay? His looks are very aggressive, especially when he has no expression, and I dont dare to look him in the eye through the screen.] [Sorry, I havent seen it. Ive only seen a photo of the Third Master standing next to Daisy, smiling. I dont look at scary photos, as they cause nightmares in the evening.]
Not long after Kevin rks Facebook post. Catherines Facebook was updated. [What are you guys doing????????????????] Theres no @, just six words and sixteen question marks, but its obvious who theyre talking about. Kevin rk was the first toment, simply replying with four words: [Proiming sovereignty.] Then Felix Baker came: [Its nothing, nothing happened, just chatting casually.] Finally, Joseph Allen: [Joining the fun.] The replies of the three people are different, but they all convey a sense of obedience. When asked what you are doing, you really reply with what you are doing. Then, theizens flocked to Catherines Facebook again tough. [It seems that Brook Sister is indeed a woman at the top of the food chain.] [It turns out that only one Catherine is needed to make the three men standing on the clouds quiet down.] [Look at these sixteen question marks, they are more than just sixteen question marks.] [From these sixteen question marks, I deeply feel Catherines helplessness.] [Helplessness mixed with speechlessness.] [Speechlessness mixed with iprehension.] [Iprehension mixed with the feeling that you three are too childish.] [Hahahahaha, how funny it is, the more I think about it, the funnier it gets.]
Kevin rk flipped through the online news and then went to look for Charlotte Lane. It was noon, and the weather was a bit hot. Charles Amos was standing in the corridor by the Lotus Flower Pond, standing at attention, sweat dripping down his face, and his hair on his forehead was all wet. Behind him, Finn rk was pacing back and forth, saying, Dont move, Im watching you, straighten your waist, put your fingers together, eyes straight ahead, what are you peeping at? If you peep again, you will stand for ten more minutes.
Little Charles pursed his lips, staring resentfully ahead. Before long, Kevin rks figure appeared in his line of sight. He watched as Kevin rk slowly approached, his figure bing clearer, then he turned a corner, seemingly not seeing him, and went to find his mother. Charles Amos: It turns out no one cane to his rescue. Opposite Charles Amos, by the Lotus Pond, there was a hundred-year-old willow tree. The trunk was thick, and the willow branches were lush, extending towards the Lotus Pond, almost covering half of it. Kevin rk had a swing made on the willow tree. People could get on it from the edge of the Lotus Pond and swing above the pond. As Kevin rk walked towards Charlotte Lane, she was on the swing, swaying and looking at her cell phone. She was wearing a skirt today, and when the swing reached above the Lotus Pond, the hem of her skirt lightly brushed against the lotus flowers below. The lotus flowers would sway gently, and the goldfish underneath the lotus leaves, noticing the movement, would flick their tails and disappear under the lotus leaves, and the water would ripple with small circles. If it had been before, whoever touched the lotus flower, Kevin rk would definitely make them pay until they ate dirt for the next three months. But now, the status of this pond full of lotus flowers has dropped lower and lower. Charlotte might be able to fill this 25-acre lotus pond in with just one word from Kevin rk.
As the swing returned from over the lotus pond, Kevin rk approached and caught the swing rope with one hand, his other arm going around Charlotte Lanes waist. He leaned in and gave her a peck on the side of her neck. Charles Amos was standing at attention, his gaze fixed in their direction. He pursed his lips, anger growing even stronger in hisrge eyes. Charlotte looked up at Kevin rk. Are you done with your work? Yeah. Kevin replied, Have you been watching the two of them all morning? Mhm, Charlotte answered. Charles earned his thirty-minute punishment for back-talking. Kevin chuckled. How much longer does he have? Ten minutes. Charlotte looked at Charles and asked, Did your brother treat you like this when you were younger? No, Kevin answered. The most Ive seen him do is fold my quilt into neat squares. Its different with a younger brother and a son. He might just be bored, Kevin said. The two of them chatted by the lotus pond for ten minutes. When the time was up, Finn rk called for everyone to disband. Charles immediately ran to Charlotte without looking back. Upon reaching her side, he pouted and looked at Charlotte with an aggrieved expression.
A thousand unspoken words were condensed in his eyes. Charlotte took a handkerchief from Kevins pocket and wiped Charles sweat. Quit pretending with me. If you really couldnt stand it, you wouldve used a hundred tricks to escape by now. Charles made a sad face. Ive been sunburned like this, and you dont even feel sorry for me? Charlotte finished wiping his sweat, held his chin in the crook of her hand, and pinched his chubby cheek. Its cooler under the lotus pond. If I throw you in there, would that count as feeling sorry for you? Charles: Charlotte let go of him and said, Lets find a cool ce this afternoon. Charles chuckled twice. You dont mean that. Charlotte ignored him as she got off the swing. Charles grabbed her hand. Im going to the Court Music Academy this afternoon. Isnt today your day off? Charlotte asked. See, you even know when my days off are. Charlotte continued to ignore him. Kevin let out augh.
Finn rk handed Charles a water bottle. Drink some water, you little rascal. Charles took the water bottle, drank a few sips, and then said, Boss Flores has a birthday today. He invited a lot of people. I also received an invitation. Oh, you got invited too. Finn patted him on the head, getting a handful of sweat. He wiped it off disdainfully on Charles clothes. Charles frowned at him. Finn pretended not to see. Charlotte looked at Kevin. When did his birthday be in August? As Charlotte asked the question, she realized what day it was today and slightly furrowed her brows. Today was the day she had be an apprentice. Seeing that she had guessed, Kevin kept quiet. Charles hugged the water bottle and looked up at the two of them. Kevin asked, Would you like to go together? Charlotte looked at her hand hanging by her side. She touched her fingers with her thumb, and after a while, she said, Yes. In the nearly two months since she had been back home, her family talked to her about meeting Charles Flores. She told her parents that she would meet him in person, so they didnt speak on her behalf. However, she had been putting it off yet never went. Seeing Charlotte touching her fingers, Kevin sped her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Chapter 523: 466: Lady Quinn Chapter 523: Chapter 466: Lady Quinn Charlotte Lane had nothing to do with Daisy Zane or the Court Music Academy, so she did not have an invitation. If she wanted to attend, she could only go with Kevin rk. The birthday banquet started at 2 PM. From 2 PM onwards, the main agenda was to engage in conversations with each other. The Court Music Academy had long been a fusion of Eastern and Western music. Charles Flores birthday had been grandly celebrated every year from a very long time ago, he justter changed the date, with the main objective being engaging in interactions. Not only from the domestic academies but also from foreign ones. Especially since every friend of Charles Flores was a Master, of a world-ss musicians calibre. Hosting a birthday banquet was akin to giving an opportunity for students of the musical academy and even domestically, to interact and advance with one another. Hence, most of the people who attended around this time were proficient in musical instruments and held a certain status in this field. Others, such as Charles Flores friends, would mostlye around at night. After having lunch, Charles Amos asked Wilton Edwards to drop him to the Court Music Academy soon after.
By the time Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk arrived at the Court Music Academy, it was almost 5 PM. The birthday banquet was held in the open area behind the Court Music Academy. Everyone held their proficient musical instrument in their hand, engaging in mutual interaction. As soon as Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane stepped into the Court Music Academy, they heard the sound of various musical instruments. As the two were walking inside, they heard a battle of music. Between Erhu and Violin. Charlotte Lane gazed at the surrounding scenery as she walked towards the back. Familiar bamboo forests, stone benches, and arches. And unfamiliar flowers, corridor paintings, and people. Upon seeing her watching the surroundings, Kevin rk slowed down his steps, Did youe here often before? Gazing at the musical score painted on the wall, Charlotte Lane nodded and said, Hmm. Every day. Sometimes Id even stay here for a night over the weekend. Did uncle Lane allow it? Kevin rk asked. Its only for one night, and not always. Charlotte Lane said, Moreover, Aunt Cruz woulde to apany me. As Charlotte Lane watched the musical scores on the wall, Kevin rk watched her. He has recalled little Charlotte Lane from his childhood more than once. William Lane deliberately kept him from meeting his sister, and afterwards, he indeed hadnt seen Charlotte Lane much. Sometimes Old Master Lane would bring little L to the rk Manor, where theyd meet. Lil L wouldnt act unfamiliar because she hadnt seen him for a while. Shed always gaze at him without any attempt to hide, openly and outright. Then, shed ask him to hold her, and to y with her. This hasnt changed at all. Its the same as it is now. Whenever Charlotte Lane wants to watch him, she never tries to hide. Her admiration for him, asional desire, possession, has never been hidden.
All the patience he had for children was spent on little L. However, his memory of little L visiting Court Music Academy is faint. Despite both of them being in Court Music Academy, although with a courtyard in between, they should have seen each othering and going. However, the two never met at the Court Music Academy.
It seems that during that time, they didnt waste a bit of fate. They saved it up for a long time, and then used it all the moment he met the little girl after growing up. As he thought about it, Kevin rk slightly raised the corner of his mouth. What are you smiling about? Charlotte Lane turned her head and looked at him. I was thinking about when a little girl drooled all over my face when she was one year old, Kevin rk said with a smile. Charlotte Lanes eyebrows twitched as if she epted Kevin rks statement, then she looked at him for a while and said, Kevin rk, dont spread rumors. Little girl. Kevin rk reached out to touch her face, You cant deny it just because you dont remember. Many people can testify. Who can testify? Charlotte Lane looked at him, raising her eyebrows for a moment with a slow and somewhat arrogant voice, Tell me, who can testify? Kevin rk was suddenly left speechless. Who would testify? The rk Family and the Lane Family. However, which of these two families wouldnt favour the little girl now? If she says it didnt happen, no one would say it did. Charlotte Lane lightly patted his shoulder: Third Uncle, you seem a bit pitiful.
Kevin rk sighed helplessly, curving his finger to touch her chin: If you stop calling me Third Uncle, I wont be pitiful. No sooner had he said this than he heard footsteps approaching. As Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk looked up, a voice also rang out: Arthur. Charlotte Lane listened to the gentle voice, looking at the unfamiliar woman. The woman was dressed in a dark-colored dress, entuating her sensuous figure. Her slender and fair neck, and attractive red lips. Just a small smile was enough to evoke desire. Her entire persona exuded the charm of a mature woman. In short, this woman was beautiful. Furthermore she was beautiful ording to Charlotte Lanes aesthetic appreciation. The woman approached and stood in front of Kevin rk, smiling at him: Arthur, its been a long time. Kevin rk subconsciously looked at Charlotte Lane, and then he saw Charlottes gaze shift downwards from the womans face Kevin rk: ????? Moving his foot, Kevin rk managed to block Charlotte Lanes line of sight.
Suddenly faced with Kevin rks back, Charlotte Lanes eyshes fluttered, then she averted her gaze. Kevin rk gave a polite smile: Lady Quinn. Caroline Quinn joked: I thought you had forgotten me. Kevin rk just gave a small smile without saying anything. Caroline Quinn turned to Charlotte Lane, asking: And who is this? My wife. Kevin rk didnt intend to introduce them. A look of surprise appeared on Caroline Quinns face: Yougot married? Yes. Kevin rk, holding Charlotte Lanes hand, said to Caroline Quinn, Were going to greet Master Flores. Having said that, Kevin rk nodded respectfully to her, and then directly led Charlotte Lane away. Caroline Quinn stood where she was, staring nkly at the retreating figure of Kevin rk and his wife. Wasnt it said that he would never settle down? Its just been a few years, and hes already married. Caroline Quinn was watching the couple when a voice suddenly sounded behind her: Senior Quinn.
She had been so distracted, she hadnt noticed when the person had approached from behind. Turning around, she saw the woman behind her. Alex Justin had introduced her earlier, saying that she yed the pipa beautifully, and was highly valued by the Court Music Academy. Her name was Celeste Martin. Caroline Quinn smiled: So youre here too. Yes. Ive been ying the pipa for too long. Im taking a break and going for a walk. After finishing her sentence, Celeste Martin asked, Senior Quinn, do you know Third Master rk? Caroline Quinn answered, Yes, we used to learn piano together. Do you know them too? I dont know Third Master very well, but Im quite familiar with his wife. We recorded a show together. Celeste Martin replied. She is from the entertainment industry? Caroline Quinn asked. Yes, she has be quite popr in recent years. Caroline Quinn doesnt pay much attention to the entertainment industry, naturally she wouldnt have known; and she didnt expect Kevin rk to marry someone from the entertainment industry either. She took a nce earlier, indeed, the woman was stunningly beautiful. And Kevin rk seemed to like her a lot. Senior, she is very talented, you can have a chat with herter. Celeste Martin said. Is that so? Caroline Quinn appeared somewhat absent-minded and forced a smile, Does she also y the piano? Celeste Martin smiled, seemingly recognizing this as truth and then said, Senior, learning from each other would surely be todays highlight. Caroline Quinn raised her eyebrows, I mustnt waste such a good learning opportunity then. Celeste Martin agreed with a smile, her face full of innocence. Daisy Zane, youve brought this upon yourself, no one can be med for your humiliation. By thenits the reputation of the rk Family you will be tarnishing. Chapter 524: 467: Want to Compare Notes? Chapter 524: Chapter 467: Want to Compare Notes? The empty piano practice room. A lone piano in the ssroom listens to the hearty ying of its siblings outside. Suddenly, the sound of a door opening breached its solitude. Then a man and a woman walked in. The man closed the door with a bang. The woman leaned against the door, looking indifferently at the man in front of her. Kevin rk held Charlotte Lanes shoulder with one hand, propped the door with the other, and looked down at her. The two stared at each other, then Kevin rk asked softly, What were you just looking at? What was I looking at? Charlotte Lane retorted, Didnt you observe what I noticed? Kevin rk: So the women by Third Masters side are always so beautiful huh? There was no emotion discernible in Charlotte Lanes voice, still nonchnt and cold. Third Master is quite fortunate. With a hand on her chin, Kevin rkmented, Indeed I am, being married.
Charlotte Laneughed lightly, How did you meet? We learned piano together when we were young. Childhood Charlotte Lane didnt finish her sentence because she was interrupted by a kiss from Kevin rk. With a gentle smile, Kevin rk watched her, I was asking you, how did you turn the tables so quickly? What are you asking me for? Charlotte Lane said, I just find it funny how you can even be jealous of a woman. Whats wrong with women? Kevin rk said, Logans gaze towards you isnt innocent. She even fought me because of you. Charlotte Lane: When she suddenly fell silent, Kevin rk squinted slightly, Little Girl, what kind of reaction is that? If I had such intentions, you wouldnt be in the picture now, Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk chuckled, then said, I know, I hold the top spot in your heart, Little Girl. Third Master, tone down your narcissism. Kevin rk bent over to kiss her lips twice, then continued, Her name is Caroline Quinn. She should be younger than me, but she became an apprentice earlier, so technically, she is my senior. However we arent really close. We didnt interact much during our piano practice. After I stopped practicing as much, we lost contact. Caroline Quinn repeated Charlotte Lane, Third Master the way she looks at you doesnt seem very innocent. Youre mistaken, Kevin rk said. Charlotte Lane gave a light whistle. Kevin rk: Standing straight, Charlotte Lane pushed back lightly on Kevin rks shoulder, opened the door, and said, Lets go. Kevin rk exited the room with her, and as they walked, he asked, Little Girl, why are you so nonchnt? What kind of reaction are you expecting from me, to blow up Court Music Academy? Charlotte Lane retorted.
Kevin rk: On the outdoor venue, some people brought their own musical instruments while Court Music Academy provided some of therger ones. Everyone was talking, discussing, andparing notes.
Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane stood at the periphery, taking in the scene. The two fell silent in synchronicity for a while. If it werent for Finn rks ident, if Charlotte Lane hadnt fallen off a cliff. Perhaps scenes like this would contain their figures too. Charlotte Lane quickly spotted Charles Flores in the crowd. Just like more than a decade ago, Charles Flores still liked to wear a white robe, and a jade ornament hung at his waist. Standing straight, like a bamboo. Elegant and refined. The hand holding the wine cup, still so beautiful. Charlotte Lane used to think that her teachers hands were the most beautiful in the world. Now Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rks hand and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her eyes. Charles Flores appeared older than what she remembered. From a distance, Charlotte Lane saw the white hairs on his head. Shall we go say hello? Kevin rk suggested. Lets wait till the end. Charlotte Lane responded, There are too many people.
Hmm. The venue wasrge, and there were many people. But in the crowd, Charles still caught sight of Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane, who were standing on the periphery. Because their presence was enough to draw attention. Both domestically and internationally, people kept looking over. Charles ran up to them and in a tiny voice said, Mr. rk, Mrs. rk. Kevin rk bent down to pat his head, Having fun? Charles nodded, then looked at Charlotte Lane, pointing at the area: That pretty aunt ys the piano super well. Charlotte Lane looked over. It was Caroline Quinn. Kevin rk didnt dare to speak, he minimized his presence as much as possible. Charles, tugging at Kevin rks hand, said: Grandpa Justin is over there, lets go to say hello. Kevin rk, holding Charlotte Lanes hand, said: Together. Okay. Kevin rk took Charlotte Lane and Charles to greet Alex Justin.
Alex Justin was very fond of Kevin rk, he had been telling everyone about his regrettably outstanding student over the years. And this time he seized the opportunity to introduce him again, kept saying what a pity it was. It seems Kevin rk has never officially entered this circle yet the legends about him were everywhere. Alex Justin introduced Kevin rk to the people next to him. While, two meters to the right of Charlotte Lane, Caroline Quinn was ying the piano, a very gentle and melodious piano music. She didnt look over, just listening quietly. However, standing next to her, Charles was always looking at Caroline Quinn, and that little expression seemed to be quite enchanted. Charlotte Lane didnt really listen to what Alex Justin and his group were saying, she was just listening to the piano music. Then Alex Justin suddenly took Kevin rk to walk towards the right side. Kevin rk was holding onto Charlotte Lanes hand the whole time, so he also moved her to the right. Nearer to the piano, but Kevin rk blocked her view. Charlotte Lane: Originally, Charlotte Lane was listening to the piano quite attentively, without any intention to look over.
But him blocking like this A rebellious psychology sprang up, she didnt want to procrastinate any longer. Charlotte Lane stepped back and turned her head to look at Caroline Quinn. Caroline Quinn had just lifted her head, their gaze met. Charlotte Lanes expression was very light, very cool. Those phoenix eyes, when looking at someone, naturally exuded a cold sensation. Caroline Quinn was taken aback for a moment, silently admiring her beauty, then she nodded and smiled at her. Charlotte Lane acknowledged with a little nod. The sound of Caroline Quinns piano stopped. Kevin rk had just tried to pull her back, when he was nning to step back to block her view again. Caroline Quinn suddenly spoke out, Mrs. rk, I heard that you y piano very well, would you honor me with aparison? The mingling sound of various instruments and conversations was rather noisy, Caroline Quinns voice was somewhat loud. So, the people around quickly looked over. To people outside the circle, and even many within the circle, didnt know much about Caroline Quinn. But at the top of this circle, everyone knew Caroline Quinn. Not for anything else, but for her excellent piano ying. Caroline Quinn almost never performed, but she had a hobby, she liked to pare everywhere. She evenpeted with many Grand Masters and pianists. So, at the top of the circle, everyone knew her. Some even admired her. Also, because of this, the people she wanted topete with were all very impressive. So, everyones attention quickly shifted to this Mrs. rk. There are always greater people beyond. Sometimes, the more advanced a person is, the more they like to hide from the world. Everyone immediately thought that this Mrs. rk is a piano Grand Master, and their expectations shot up instantly. Celeste Martin had been observing the situation here, seeing everyone looking at Daisy Zane, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Then she started walking towards them Chapter 525: 468: Not a Great Shot Chapter 525: Chapter 468: Not a Great Shot It wasnt time for the dinner yet, and the guests arrived didnt know either Kevin rk or Charlotte Lane very well. Alex Justin had just introduced a few people to Kevin rk. So even if Charlotte Lane made a fool of herself, the most people would do was to ignore her or show a contemptuous and disgusted attitude. They would think, how could someone like her be allowed to attend such an event? But this was all rted to Charlotte Lane herself. Although the media was not invited to the birthday party, some people would still post photos or videos of the event online. Once its online, Mrs. rk would be associated with the reputation of the rk family. As the daughter-inw of an aristocratic family, no matter how many other titles she had, some powerful families would still see her as a little girl from the countryside whose social standing didnt match theirs. Some people may not be better than others, but they would still look down on others and despise them at every turn. Kevin rk heard Caroline Quinns words, turned around to look at her, without much change in his expression, but still gave out a sense of displeasure and oppression. Charles Amos stood beside Charlotte Lane, not holding her hand, but slightly furrowing his brows.
Instead, Charlotte looked at Caroline Quinn with a hint of curiosity. Caroline quickly sensed Kevins suppressed resentment, and she looked at him, puzzled. So, Mr. rks wife is a master too. The person standing next to Alex Justin, who had just been introduced to Kevin rk, said, To have Lady Quinn propose a challenge Mrs. rk must be very skilled. Alex Justin had thought the same for a moment, but feeling Kevin rks mood, the idea vanished immediately. Kevin rk gently stroked Charlotte Lanes hand and was about to speak when she preempted him: Im sorry, but Im not that good at ying the piano. Caroline frowned slightly, looking at Charlotte. She was trying to determine if it was true that she wasnt good at the piano, or if she just didnt want topete with her. Over the years, Caroline had challenged many skilled people, and naturally, she had encountered some who thought she was not up to their level, and refused to ept the challenge, making excuses to fend her off. So, upon hearing Charlottes refusal, she instinctively thought that might be the case. Just then, a soft voice broke in, seemingly harmless: Lady Zane is too modest, how could anyone here bepletely ipetent? Charlotte looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Celeste Martin, someone she hadnt seen in a long time. Caroline quickly grasped Celestes words, How could anyone here bepletely ipetent? Shouldnt she have said, How could she say shes not good at ying? Does everyone here need to have some sort of skill? Charlotte asked in response. Not necessarily, Celeste replied, But Lady Zane should have some, right? The people around them were watching, while others further away were still chatting andughing. Various musical instruments mingled together, near and far. Charles Amos looked up at Celeste Martin, and a rare fierce anger appeared in his beautiful eyes. Charlotte Laneughed softly, Why do I have to have it then? Third Master is Master Justins proudest disciple, Celeste smiled, with a sense of innocence and apparent logic, So his wife must be very skilled as well. Kevin rk lowered his gaze to Charlotte Lane, watching her seemingly indifferent and leisurely demeanor, yet aiming a knife at others.
Really? Charlottes tone carried a lightughter. It was ambiguous, but somehow it made people feel a sudden chill. Of course, Celeste continued, Lady Zane, dont be modest. Let us enjoy your music. Celestes intention was to push Daisy Zane forward.
Just hearing Daisy Zane say she couldnt y wasnt enough for her, she needed to see Daisy sitting there with her own eyes, unable to y a single note urately. She wanted to see Daisy sitting there while people around her showed disdain, scorn, contempt, and disgust. She even wanted to hear the murmurs and sneers of the people around her. She despised Daisys aloofness. The more Daisy stood in high ces and worshipped by different fields and crowds, the more Celeste wanted to pull her down and make her theughing stock of everyone. What made Daisy shine so much everywhere that others were overshadowed the moment she appeared? As long as Daisy made a fool of herself, Celeste could justify her own words. She no longer cared how Kevin rk really saw her; she just wanted to bring down the high and mighty Daisy Zane. Or does Lady Zane think were not good enough to hear your piano ying? Celeste jokingly said as if teasing. Caroline Quinn sat at the piano, her gaze shifting from Celeste to Charlotte. Seeing her calm andposed, Caroline couldnt determine if Charlotte could y or not, so she remained silent for a moment. Instead, the people nearby started to talk. At first, some people thought Celeste was just trying to provoke Charlotte, but after a few sentences, Celeste gave them the impression that she knew Mrs. rk well, and that Mrs. rk surely knew how to y the piano.
Furthermore, she created a rxed and yful atmosphere. Come on, y something. Isnt the purpose of our gathering today to exchange ideas? Yes, yes, Im suddenly looking forward to it. As expected, the real masters are hidden. There are so many great talents hiding in ces we dont know. It seems that this trip will reveal new treasures. Someone able to make Caroline Quinn take the initiative to challenge must be very talented. Upon hearing her name, Caroline pursed her lips. She suddenly considered that, not only were there musicians from the Royal Court Music Academy present, but also many foreign orchestras had arrived. If Kevin rks wife really couldnt y well, since they were at the Royal Court Music Academy, wouldnt it affect the reputation of the academy? Lady Zane is now Mrs. rk, Celeste dragged out her yful tone, If she doesnt give us a musical feast today, people might say that she looks down on usmoners after marrying into the rk family. That wouldnt be good for the rk family. So, are you suggesting that the rk family should maintain its image by performing? Kevin rk looked at Celeste, his voice t. Celeste met his gaze, her pupils suddenly shrinking. She pinched her own fingers, Third Master, Im just joking.
Kevin rk ignored her and hooked Charlotte Lanes finger. Charlotte pressed his finger, nced through the crowd at Charles Flores, who had been chatting with people in the distance, and then said to Caroline Quinn: Im really not very good at ying the piano. Caroline gave her an apologetic smile. Feeling sorry for her, she immediately opened her mouth and interrupted Charlottes words: Im sorry, I didnt really want to challenge Mrs. rk. Actually, I wanted to challenge Kevin, but I thought it would be too bold, so I wanted to start with his wife. Chapter 526: 469: Very Cute Chapter 526: Chapter 469: Very Cute Caroline Quinn quickly found a somewhat clumsy solution to remedy the mess shed made in such a short time. Hearing her say that, Celeste Martin furrowed her brow a bit. Didnt she really like Kevin rk? If the person she liked was taken away by someone else, she still had to find a way to let that person save face. There must be something wrong with this woman. Perhaps people have always been visual animals. Charlotte Lane seemed to be even more so, as her tolerance for good-looking people always seemed to be stronger. Moreover, after all the series of actions by Celeste Martin, she almost guessed that Caroline Quinns I heard might havee from Celestes words. She went along with Caroline Quinns remedy and looked at Kevin rk, saying, Am I that fierce? Topete with you, I need to get my permission first? Kevin rks overbearing aura around him dissipated instantly as he looked at Charlotte Lane and smiled, Not fierce, very cute. Charles Amos blinked his big eyes twice. She wascuteright.
Upon hearing the word cute, Charlotte Lanes eyebrows twitched, and she wanted to retort: Are your eyes going bad? People around them saw Charlotte Lanes distant expression and heard her cold voice. They thought, love really could make people blindto see a little cuteness. Since Caroline Quinn said that she wanted topete with Kevin rk, he didnt say anything and simply sat down next to the piano. He yed a song that was a must-learn at the Court Music Academy. It was the song that he and Charlotte Lane had seen on the wall when they came here. The song was long and difficult, clearly intended for showing off ones skills. Moreover, since different people yed different instruments, this song had different parts that suited the skills of different instruments. The part yed by Kevin rk was perfect for showing off piano skills. His fingertips danced, and the piano sound was melodious. Each note seemed to fall on peoples hearts. Gradually, many people gathered around. Charlotte Lane stood by the piano, looking at Kevin rk with unintentional affection in her eyes. She really liked the way Kevin rk yed the piano. It had a sense of ancient elegance and modern collision contradiction. It entuated the ancient elegance and enchanting charm of Kevin rk. She never said it, so Kevin rk yed less, and this was one of the few times she could see him y the piano. As the notes of the song gradually disappeared, Kevin rks hands left the piano keys. Suddenly, apuse erupted around them. While pping, someone beside Alex Justin said, No wonder he is your proudest disciple, its really a pity.
Alex Justin raised the corners of his mouth proudly. Kevin rk had started learning piano since he was young, diligently and earnestly for more than ten years. Later, he had not touched the piano for several years. Then, when he came to the Court Music Academy, Alex Justin would have him y. Some peoples talents were so great that even if they didnt practice regrlyter, their level would still far surpass others. Kevin rk was one of them.
So, Alex Justin always felt it was a pity. Originally, Charles Amos was standing next to Charlotte Lane, but after Kevin rk finished ying, he slowly moved closer. He stood next to Kevin rk, his big eyes shining brightly as he looked at him. Then, he said softly, Ill y as well as you someday. Kevin rk patted his head, Youll be even better. After saying that, he looked at Charlotte Lane. Seeing him looking over, Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows slightly. Just as Kevin rk was about to get up, Celeste Martin, unwilling to give up, spoke again, Mrs. rk, why dont you y something too? It would be a great story if the couple took the stage together. It was originally a very annoying sentence. But Kevin rk suddenly abandoned the idea of getting up. He sat there, looking at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane looked into Kevin rks eyes, feeling the sense of security he brought her. After a while, she turned her head to look at Celeste Martin, repeating the sentence she had just said, and added what she didnt say before, I really dont y the piano very well. However I do have some knowledge of other instruments. Kevin rks eyshes fluttered lightly.
Hearing her words, Amelie Quentin in the crowd behind her turned and ran towards the Court Music Academy building. Roy Madison couldnt even find the time to say slow down. Celeste Martins eyes darkened, but she still asked, Really? What instrument did Mrs. rk learn? Pipa, Charlotte Lane said faintly, her fingertips by her side gently caressing, Ive heard that Lady Martin is very good at ying the pipa. Hearing the word pipa, Celeste Martin seemed stunned at first, thinking she had misheard. Then she almost couldnt help butugh out loud. Pipa. Celeste Martin felt her blood boiling and heating up. This was even more exciting than seeing Daisy Zane sitting at the piano, beingughed at by those around her. Because this way, she could personally pull Daisy Zane down. And personally tell her that she still lost to her. No matter how glorious Daisy Zane was, no matter how much she was chased after by others. In the end, she still lost to her. Celeste Martins excitement caused her skin to turn slightly red. She clenched her hands by her side and it took her a while to calm herself down.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was still trembling, So you want topete with me in ying the pipa? Wasnt what I said clear enough? Charlotte Lane replied. Celeste Martin raised her chin, confidently and proudly saying, Yes. Daisy Zane, this is what you asked for, dont me others Chapter 527 - 470: Not Bad Chapter 527: Chapter 470: Not Bad Within the Court Music Academy, Celeste Martins pipa skills were among the best, and she had even received personal guidance from Charles Flores. Charles Flores never easily instructed anyone unless he felt that the person had reached a certain level of proficiency and was worth cultivating, only then would he give some guidance. Thus Celeste Martin had great confidence in her pipa skills. Of course, her confidence was soon validated. Indeed, she yed very well with a high level of performance. She handled the details well and had a very strong expressiveness. Few people could reach her level. Being able to willingly receive guidance from Charles Flores, Celeste Martin indeed had something extraordinary about her. In this matter, she had the capital to feel proud and arrogant. Celeste Martin sat on the bench, with the powerful music radiating around her as the center, and the whole person sitting there seemed to be glowing. More and more people gathered around, even Charles Flores, who had been conversing with someone in the distance, walked over and stood on the periphery, watching Celeste Martin through the gaps in the crowd. Someone beside him said, Master Flores, this student from the Court Music Academy has boundless potential. With a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, Charles Flores politely chuckled. Since you y so well Master Flores can actually take on another disciple. Charles Flores looked at Celeste Martin, his eyes calm and indifferent: Not bad. Of course, its just not badpared to Master Flores. Charles Flores shook his head with a smile: Its just not badpared to my disciple too. The person next to him didnt say anything further. He had not seen Charles Flores disciple and didnt know how proficient they actually were, he had only heard a little about them. The girl in front of him already had a very high level of skill, but it was still only not bad. At what level was his disciple then? The Pipa music stopped, and the surrounding area was once again filled with enthusiastic apuse and generous praise. Charles Flores also looked away, not particrly interested in what was going to happen next. He and the person beside him continued their earlier conversation as they walked further back. Celeste Martin got up with her pipa in her arms and gave a slight bow to the people around her before looking towards Daisy Zane. The triumph and victory in her eyes were undisguised as if she had already trampled Daisy Zane under her feet. Even her tone was no longer concealing: Its your turn now. Since thest time she recorded the show, Celeste Martin hadnt experienced such a day, where she could breathe so freely like today. No matter how capable Daisy Zane was, she couldnt surpass Celeste Martin. Charlotte Lane looked at the victorious joy and distorted happiness in Celeste Martins eyes and then took in the surroundings. She saw a girl holding a pipa who had just taken a step towards her, intending to borrow her pipa. Suddenly, Olivia Lane came squeezing through the crowd. She held the pipa case in her arms like a treasure, her eyes sparkling brightly as she looked at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane looked at Olivia Lane standing in front of her. She was breathing lightly, with a thinyer of sweat on her forehead, but very excited. Looking into her bright eyes, Charlotte Lane felt as if everything around her had be unreal for a moment. The entire venue seemed to have gone through a reversal and change in time. She was ten years old, and Olivia Lane was six. Each time she yed the pipa, Olivia Lane would be by her side. After she finished a song, Olivia Lane would hold her cheeks with both hands, her eyes shining brightly, and say, Sister ys the most beautiful music. Olivia Lane also learned pipa for a while, but Charlotte Lane always felt that Olivia Lane didnt like the pipa itself, but liked the sight of her sister ying the pipa. Charlotte Lanes identity had not been made public, so Olivia Lane did not call her sister, but simply handed the pipa case to her. Charlotte Lane snapped back to her senses and gently rubbed the top of Olivia Lanes head before allowing her to open the Pipa case and take out the instrument. It was the Pipa she had often used in her childhood at the Court Music Academy. It had been well preserved and carefully maintained. Charlotte Lane could not help but touch the strings of the Pipa. If this circle of people were to bepared to a cultivation realm, then this Pipa would be her sword, which she had been bonded to since childhood. It was the Pipa she was most skilled with, and although it had not been used for many, many years, it would always be her top choice. Mrs. rk, its gettingte, Celeste Martins voice suddenly rang out. As if she hadnt heard, it was Olivia Lane who turned her head and red at her. I havent yed in many years, Charlotte Lane said to Olivia Lane. I might not reach the level you remember. Charlotte Lane did not deliberately control her volume, so some of those around her heard her too. Subconsciously, Olivia Lane looked at her hand, knowing that her fingers were injured. After a pause, she repeated what she used to say as a child, Your ying is the most beautiful. Charlotte Lane gave a faint smile. Plectrum, Olivia Lane handed her another box. With plectrum in hand, Olivia Lane stepped aside with the Pipa case, as Charlotte Lane took the Pipa and walked to the stool. She carried the stool with one hand and took a few steps towards Arthur North, put it down, and looked at him. Their eyes met, and Arthur North raised his eyebrows. The look in his eyes was one of expectation for her. Charlotte Lane gave a slight smile, retracted her gaze, and sat down on the stool. She cradled the Pipa, tested the sound, and then tuned it. It hadnt been used in many years; moreover, someone must have been taking care of it regrly, so its pitch uracy was slightly off. Celeste Martin stood by with a challenging smile, waiting to see what would happen. Once the tuning was done, Charlotte Lane simply warmed up her fingers. She then held the Pipa properly, ced her left hand on the strings, and began to y. The familiar tune of the Court Music Academy filled everyones ears once more. It had been a piece of piano music just now, and now it was a piece of Pipa music. Charlotte Lanes fingers were beautiful, slender and fair, like priceless white jade. As she held the Pipa and her right hands plucking techniques kept changing, her speed was fast enough to leave afterimages. Yet every note was incredibly urate, and each transition was smooth. The tune was aggressive from the very beginning, requiring the yer to produce a powerful momentum. However, Charlotte Lane managed to create an even more intense atmosphere based on that foundation. She did not exaggerate her performance and maintained a calm,posed demeanor while holding the Pipa and sitting gracefully on the stool. asionally, she would glimpse at the Pipa, but most of the time, she simply closed her eyes and felt the music. The contrast between the calmness of the person and the excitement of the tune created a powerful feeling, suggesting that one could control everything. No matter how things change, be it a gentle stream or passionate vigor, they are always under ones control. Therefore, one can remain calm and detached, unfazed by any ups and downs. It is difficult to reach this state, whether in life or in ying the Pipa. However, some people do manage to achieve it. Celeste Martins smug expression changed as soon as Charlotte Lane yed the first note and continued to evolve as the performance went on. She couldnt believe the sight before her and felt a surge of dizziness in her head. The more she tried to remember something, the less she could recall. She even gradually lost the understanding of why she was standing there. As she wanted to leave, her legs felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move. Astonished as well was Charles Flores, who had been chatting on the periphery of the crowd. Chapter 528 - 471: Ensemble Chapter 528: Chapter 471: Ensemble As the protagonist of todays birthday banquet, Charles Flores was actually the most leisurely. Others were busy introducing their apprentices, exchanging knowledge, andparing skills. He needed to do none of these, as his apprentice was not around. Hence, his foremost task today was engaging in endless conversations and attending to guests. Everything around seemed to be rted to him, yet somehow unrted. Until he suddenly heard the familiar sound of a pipa. It was as if something had struck him, calling his wandering soul back. Initially, he thought he had misheard. But a few secondster, he left the person he was conversing with, turned around, and headed into the crowd. In his haste, he bumped into several people. However, he paid no mind to that, even losing his usual elegance. The sound of the pipa was near, and the person ying was in the crowd. Charles Flores heartbeat quickened. Finally, he pushed through to the front of the crowd and immediately looked towards the person ying the pipa. He observed a stranger cradling the pipa that he recognized so well. If it were any other time, seeing a stranger holding his apprentices pipa, he would surely be furious. But staring at this stranger now, he felt neither anger norprehension. Charlotte Lane was always an innovator, whether during experiments or while learning the pipa. She was not rigidly attached to traditional techniques but innovated some methods to bring out the unique characteristics of the pipa to the fullest. Charles Flores frequently used to say that Charlotte wasnt merely learning to y the pipa; she wasmunicating with it. She understood the pipa well and knew exactly how to present it. This was a profound realm few could reach. Although this person was a stranger, the technique of ying the pipa couldnt lie. It was unique to Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane was always unique, irreceable by anyone. Therefore, Charles Flores immediately confirmed the identity of the person. The sound of the pipa gradually weakened, signalling the end. Charles Flores abruptly took a step forward but was immediately held back. He frowned and turned his head, seeing William Lane standing behind him, holding him back. With a gentle smile on his face, William Lane said to Charles Flores, Master Flores, happy birthday. Charles Flores stared at him for a while, then grabbed William Lanes arm: Roy, she William Lane held Charles Flores hand gently, interrupting him. Understanding the hint, Charles Flores did not say anything further, only beaming a questioning gaze. Then William Lane nodded at him: She came today especially to see you. Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Charles Flores couldnt help but tighten his grip on William Lanes hand. His lips quivered as if trying to smile, but he couldnt. He blinked repeatedly, attempting to hide his moist eyes. In the end, he took a deep breath, swallowed, and lowered his gaze. As the pipa sound became fainter and almost ceased, Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rk, who had been watching her the whole time. Kevin rk returned to his senses, smiled at her, and then turned towards the piano. Wearing only a ck shirt, he sat upright, his wide shoulders and narrow waist radiating extreme elegance. His fingers fell on the piano keys and with the sound that followed, the dying pipa sound abruptly soared again. The sound of the piano and pipa soon harmonized into one,plementing andpeting with each other. The sun set, and the horizon was dyed a dazzling orange hue. As if unwilling to miss this auditory feast, the orange twilight fell on the piano keys, casting a soft glow on the fingers dancing over the ck and white keys. The cool evening breeze blew, rustling Charlotte Lanes fragmented hair, adding a touch of gentleness to her usually cold beauty. Facing the sunset, apanied by the breeze, the collision and fusion of the piano and pipa sounds sparked a different kind of brilliance. The two showcased their skills without conceding defeat, struggling, entangling yet inseparable. The end of the performance brought the entire audience to their feet, showering them with wave after wave of apuse. Caroline Quinn stood to one side, watching the two of them. Perhaps it was this kind of evenly matched talent that attracted and amazed one another. She was heartily convinced. Meanwhile, Celeste Martin stood on the other side,pletely dumbfounded, showing no reaction whatsoever. But no one cared whether she reacted or not. Seeing people about toe over to greet them, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk got up in unison. Kevin rk left the piano and held Charles Amoss hand. Charlotte Lane, on the other hand, held her pipa single-handedly. The family of three quickly exited the crowd, left the banquet venue, and went to the practice room in the nearest tower building. As soon as they arrived, Kevin rk hadnt even got a chance to exchange a few words with Charlotte Lane before the door was pushed open again. Charles Flores was standing at the entrance, with William Lane and Olivia Lane behind him. Charlotte Lane was initially sitting on the table, but upon seeing Charles Flores, she instantly got off the table. The master and apprentice locked eyes. Touching her fingers, Charlotte Lane moved her lips slightly. Watching her, Charles Flores eyes began to redden. Then, Charlotte Lane made the first move. She walked over to the entrance, stood in front of Charles Flores, and whispered softly, Teacher. Charles Flores couldnt utter a reply, he just kept nodding, his eyes locked on Charlotte Lane. Kevin rk took Charles Amos out. The practice room was left to the master and apprentice. The remaining four people went to the end of the corridor. Inside the practice room, the master and apprentice expressed their concerns for each other. At the end of the corridor, Olivia Lane and Charles Amos wereplimenting Charlotte Lane, their words leaping out one after another. In the end, it seemed like apetition; they even got carried away. Kevin rk and William Lane chose to ignore the two juveniles. Charles Flores asked Charlotte Lane a lot about her life outside, constantly concerned if she was doing well. His words were full of joy and relief about Charlottes return. The conversation eventuallynded on Charlotte Lanes fingers. He asked if her fingers had been injured. Even though it didnt affect her pipa performance just now, Charles Flores still astutely perceived it. Charlotte Lane nodded, telling him which fingers were severely injured. Charles Flores was heartbroken. The two chatted for over half an hour. If there hadnt been so many people outside waiting for him to greet, Charles Flores might have kept chatting for hours. Charlotte Lane set the time for their next meeting before Charles Flores left. When he stepped outside, Charles Flores saw Kevin rk and called out, Third Master. The demoted Kevin rk didnt respond, but instead said, Just call me rk. Then Charles Flores joked, I never thought there woulde a day when I would receive such treatment. Its all thanks to my apprentice. Chapter 529: 472: Future Sister-in-Law Chapter 529: Chapter 472: Future Sister-in-Law After Charles Flores left the practice room, Charlotte Lane and the other four didnt go out again, and started chatting in the practice room. Amelie Quentin was again brushing Charles Amos hair. Charles Amos was very obedient, allowing her to fiddle with his hair back and forth. After a while, perhaps feeling a bit tired, Charles Amos rested his head against Roy Madison. Roy Madison was chatting with Harton rk when he noticed Charles Amos leaning on him, so he reached over to pinch his face. Thenunder everyones gaze, Charles Amos picked up a strand of hair from Roy Madisons clothes. Uncle Charles Amos sat up straight, holding a strand of hair in his hand, then looked at Roy Madison and said, Youre dating someone. A sudden silence fell, an unidentified silence. Everyone looked at Roy Madison. Roy Madison was the first to react, he took the strand of hair from Charles Amos hand and said, It might be from your mother or your aunt. Harton rk let out a very shortugh and said, Dont let mydy take the me for this.
Charlotte Lane, looking at Roy Madison, also said, My hair isnt this short. Amelie Quentin immediately said, Mine isnt this short either. Mine is this length. Charles Amos said, But mine is curly. Roy Madison: Roy Madison: There are a few that are not curly. Really? Charles Amos touched his own head, I havent seen it, where is it? Here. Roy Madison held up the hair in his hand. Charles Amos pursed his lips. Brother, youve been secretly dating behind our backs. Amelie Quentin said. I havent. Youre still denying it. Amelie Quentin pointed at the hair, This is the physical evidence. Its just a strand of hair. Roy Madison replied. A strand of hair that you couldnt bear to throw away. Charlotte Lane slowly pointed out. Roy Madison sping the hair in his hand: But the hair of my sister, mother, and I have never appeared on you. Amelie Quentin said. I allow you to say that again. Alright. Amelie Quentin said, Mine has appeared. But Im your sister. This is another womans hair. Who would be this close to you? Moreover, they were seen today. Charlotte Lane quietly added. Amelie Quentin nodded her head.
Roy Madison looked at both of them. Charlotte Lane and Amelie Quentin also looked at him. Charlotte Lane had a calm expression, but Amelie Quentin had a great momentum for questioning. It was somewhat like not having confidence, but making up for it with expression. A few secondster, Charlotte Lane voiced Roy Madisons inner thoughts: Little sisters have grown up, not so easy to fool anymore.
When did you ever fool me easily. Roy Madison said with a smile. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrow: You easily fooled me when you didnt let me see Harton rk. Harton rk: Roy Madison looked at Harton rk andughed. Harton rk tutted, looking at Roy Madison said: Turns out the biggest obstacle in finding a wife was you. Brother, is my future sister-inw beautiful? What does she do? Whats her name? Whats herst name? Amelie Quentin suddenly leant in and asked, How old is she? Where is she from? When are you getting married? By when will I have a nephew? When will you let us meet her? Have you told mom and dad? Roy Madison was leftughing by her series of questions: Im not dating. Got it, you havent caught up yet. The words of Charlotte Lane werent as many as those of Amelie Quentin, but every sentence hit the nail on the head. Amelie Quentin knitted her brows andined: Youre moving really slow. Hearing Amelie Quentinin with a serious tone in her voice, Harton rk raised his eyebrow. After talking in the practice room for a while, Charlotte Lane went to the restroom. Amelie Quentin initially wanted to apany her, but was outpaced by Harton rk.
Amelie Quentin was so angry that she stamped her foot after Harton rk left. Charlotte Lane went to the restroom, while Harton rk waited for her outside and took the opportunity to reply to a message. However, it was a bit of a coincidence. As soon as Charlotte Lane entered the restroom, she saw Celeste Martin, who was applying makeup inside. Celeste Martinsplexion was very poor. She was trying to fix her makeup, but the result was not good. When Charlotte Lane walked in, it startled Celeste Martin. With a slight tremble of her hand, loose powder spilled onto the floor. But after seeing it was Charlotte Lane, the fatigue on her face instantly turned malicious, her entire face nearly twisted. Charlotte Lane gave her a nce, then ignored her and walked straight in. Just as she had taken a few steps, Celeste Martin suddenly moved to block her path. Charlotte Lane stopped and looked at her. With half-applied makeup, Celeste Martin red at her ferociously. She seemed to try to calm herself down before saying, Daisy Zane, did you do that on purpose? Do what on purpose? Do what? You purposely said that you havent yed the Pipa for many years, then suppressed me. As Celeste Martin spoke, her breathing gradually became chaotic, as if she was losing control of herself, If you cant suppress me, me it on not ying for many years. If you could suppress me, let others think, you havent yed for so many years, yet you can still y so well.
Charlotte Lane found it amusing and let out a smirk, Celeste Martin, do you have a poor memory? This whole thing was provoked by you. Youve always wanted to put me in that position to make a fool of myself. Celeste Martin was momentarily speechless. Moreover I cant lose to you, such a situation doesnt exist. Charlotte Lane, with an indifferent expression and a strong aura, slowly said, I really havent yed for many years, but suppressing you its too easy. You Celeste Martin was so angry that she was trembling and couldnt say a word. This is the difference between people. Charlotte Lane hit where it hurts, Youve practiced for more than twenty years and this is your height. I only practiced for a little over ten years, havent touched it for a few years, yet I am still at a height you cant reach. Daisy Zane! Celeste Martin raised her hand as if to hit her. Charlotte Lane quickly grabbed her wrist and threw it away. Celeste Martin stumbled back a few steps, barely keeping her bnce by holding onto the washbasin. Charlotte Lane walked a few steps towards her, her gaze scanning the Court Music Academy name tag on her clothes. Every student of the Court Music Academy has their own name tag, and today they were all wearing them on their clothes. Charlotte Lane grabbed the name tag, with a pull, directly yanked it off her clothes, tearing a small hole in her sleeve. Celeste Martin immediately tried to get her name tag back, but failed: Give it back to me! Charlotte Lanes eyes were filled with frost, she held her name tag and said, Celeste Martin, I advise you to be smarter. If you keep your head down, there will be a ce for you in the Court Music Academy. But if you do something stupid like today, get out.
What right do you have to say these things to me! Whether I have the right or not is not up to you. Charlotte Lane quietly said, Dont overestimate yourself, youre not irreceable. Whether you are here or not, its all the same. After Charlotte Lane finished speaking, she threw the name tag on the washbasin and turned to the inner part of the restroom. Chapter 530: 473: Arthur North…… Chapter 530: Chapter 473: Arthur North Charlotte Lane came out of the restroom, and Kevin rk was standing by the window, smiling at her. Fighting battles again? Kevin asked gently. Eavesdropping? Charlotte stared at him. Little girl, thats the womens restroom. Kevin touched her face, Is this how you see me in your mind? I saw that girl crying as she left. Crying? Charlotte asked, So fragile. Perhaps losing the contest was the main reason for her tears, Kevin analyzed. Well, she had iting, Charlotte said. Kevinughed, and the two returned to the practice room together. Charlotte and her team stayed until the banquet ended and chatted with Charles Flores for a while before leaving. Charles Flores walked them to the entrance of the Court Music Academy, chatting with Charlotte the whole time. Right after Charlotte got in the car, Charles Flores continued chatting with her through the window.
As Kevin was about to get into the car from the other side, Caroline Quinn suddenly came out of the Royal Court Music Academy and called out to him: Arthur, wait a moment. Kevin turned to look at her, and Charlotte looked at her as well. Caroline smiled at Kevin and then turned to Charlotte, apologizing, Mrs. rk, Im sorry for causing you trouble today. I really heard that you y the pipa very well, so I wanted to challenge you. I didnt expect to cause you any trouble. Charlotte sat in the car and looked at her, Indeed, I do y the pipa very well, dont I? Kevin slightly furrowed his brows; the more he thought about her words, the more awkward they seemed, as if she were teasing Caroline. Especially Carolines smile, it made one feel ufortable: Its really good, very good. Charlotte didnt show any particr expression, just continued looking at Caroline: It was Celeste Martin who told you, wasnt it? Caroline didnt mention Celeste, as she didnt like talking about others. She also wanted to handle the matters between her and Celeste herself. However, since Charlotte brought it up, she admitted it: Yes. Charlotte said, Its because I have some private grievances with her that you were dragged into it. Caroline didnt expect her to say that, so she gently shook her head. After they returned to rk Manor, Charlotte remotely handled some matters at the Hundred Demons Pavilion via phone calls with Luke. Kevin went to take a shower first, but after his shower, he received a phone call and then told Charlotte he was going to the study room. By the time he came back to the bedroom, Charlotte had finished her phone calls and taken a shower. She was wearing a silk nightgown, her hair half-dried and not blown yet, she was spacing out while standing in front of the French window. Harton went to fetch a hairdryer, then kissed her shoulder through her nightgown and asked, What are you thinking about so deeply? Charlottes eyshes trembled, and she withdrew her gaze from outside. She drove the thoughts about Logan and what he had told her out of her mind and looked at Harton: Thinking aboutArthur. What? Harton paused when he heard the name. Charlotte really enjoyed seeing the ever-calm Third Master rk show surprise on his face in front of her.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and imitated Carolines tone: Arthur, its been a long time. Hartons expression fell a bit. Then Charlotte imitated another line: Arthur, wait a moment. Harton looked at her as theughter in her eyes deepened. After a moment, he leaned down and bit her lip: Youre teasing me again.
Cant you tell Im jealous? Charlotte asked. I couldnt tell, Harton said seriously, but it seems like youre trying to annoy me. Charlotte clicked her tongue lightly: I havent acted for a long time; my acting skills have deteriorated. Thats too much, Harton said, Now, even expressing jealousy requires acting. Charlotteughed. Harton leaned down and watched herugh; after a while, he felt like he just couldnt handle her. So, he held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her. He kissed her twice, then thought about drying her hair first. But as soon as he moved away, Charlotte wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed herself against him, and kissed him again. Harton put one arm around her waist and slowly kissed her. He actually did sense her feeling of subtle loss but noticed that it quickly disappeared after he returned to the room and talked with her. Or rather, it was quickly hidden. The little girl seldom needed his extra constion. Most of the time, she derived a sense of security and stability from him. So often, he didnt need to say much.
All he needed was to listen to the little girl speak or simply apany her. The arm Harton used to hold Charlottes waist began to tighten. After a while, he threw the hairdryer to one side and ced his hand on the back of her head, slowly caressing it. Outside, it began to rain. The pattering rain floated into the room through the open window on the balcony. Charlotte backed away slightly, opening her eyes to meet Hartons gaze. She saw his red eyes and the bottomless desire within them. The two locked eyes for a brief moment; Harton then caressed her face and kissed her again. Her sleeping robe slipped off her shoulders, and Charlotte suddenly exerted force, pushing Harton onto the rocking chair behind them. She straddled him. Both of them were wearing silk nightgowns, very thin, allowing them to feel each others body heat through the fabric. Hartons heartbeat raced, and a thinyer of sweat formed on his forehead. Touching Charlottes face, his voice was hoarse and tender as he asked, Here? Yes, Charlotte replied softly. The rain outside intensified, and soon, a wind began to blow. The wind rocked the trees outside, constantly swaying back and forth. asionally, a stronger gust would cause them to sway even more violently. Rainwater was blown onto the French windows, streaming down the ss. Charlotte buried her face in Hartons shoulder, her fingers trembling slightly as she clutched his clothes. After a while, she said, Harton rk
Harton tilted his head and kissed her ear, whispering teasingly, Beg me. Although he said this, Harton still became more gentle. Charlotte was forced into silence for a moment before her trembling voice uttered, Just fucking kill me. Begging him was out of the question; if he had the guts, he should kill her. Harton chuckled softly and then lifted Charlottes face and kissed her deeply once more. Chapter 531: 474: This Person is a Bit Scheming Chapter 531: Chapter 474: This Person is a Bit Scheming From the rocking chair in the room to the bathroom. After being bathed again and brought out, Charlotte Lane nced at the time and closed her eyes, not wanting to open them again. It was already past threeoclock in the morning He was still so energetic. She used to say that Harton rk had great stamina What she thought was good at the time, now thinking about it, she still underestimated him. Charlotte Lane thought about it, turning to her side and falling asleep. Harton rk finished tidying up the bathroom and came out after taking a shower. Charlotte Lane had already fallen asleep. He walked gently to the side of the bed and looked at the sleeping person. After taking a bath, Charlotte Lane did not wear a sleeping robe but opted for a camisole. Now lying on her side in bed, the quilt was draped over her waist. The tattoo on her left arm was revealed due to the rising temperature of her body.
At first, she didnt allow the tattoo to be seen, always hiding it. After Martin Hanzels identity was exposed, she no longer covered the tattoo. Every time her body temperature increased, the tattoo would show. Looking at her fair arm, Harton rk swallowed as his eyes were drawn to the bright red tattoo. Perhaps it was psychological, but every time he kissed this spot, Charlotte Lane seemed to think of her previous training, which made her especially sensitive. After looking at her for a while, Harton rk closed his eyes, shook his head lightly, and suppressed the rising urge within him. Then he leaned down and gently kissed the tattoo on her arm. Charlotte Lane, who had been sleeping soundly, moved her arm slightly and then opened her eyes. Why did you wake up? Harton rk kissed her forehead. Who are you pretending to be gentle for now? Charlotte Lanes eyes were hazy, and her voice was hoarse. Harton rk held her hand, gently squeezing it as heughed softly, I was gentle just now, too. Charlotte Lane snorted coldly but did not refute, instead turning over with her back to him, saying, Are you going to sleep or not? Yes. Harton rk went to the other side of the bed,y down, held Charlotte Lane in his arms, and kissed the top of her head, Sleep. Mm-hmm. Charlotte Lane responded groggily. Turner Daniel passed his final exams smoothly, and after his original professor retired, Charlotte Lane formally started mentoring him. Although Turner Daniels undergraduate studies were not in the same field, he had developed a great talent in the area due to the influence and guidance of his father and grandfather since childhood. So guiding him was not very challenging.
With Harton rks help, Charlotte Lanes task was rtively easy. All of the experiments in theb were progressing steadily, and there wasnt much busy work. Taking advantage of this time, Charlotte Lane started working on her thesis. One day after work, Charlotte Lane, Harton rk, and William Lane all left work on time, walking together toward the research institute entrance.
At the entrance, Harton rks first task was to check the Lane Family car. After seeing the car, he looked momentarily disappointed. He would have to sleep alone tonight. Charlotte Lane got in the car, and after sitting down, took a mousse cake from Andrew Lanes hand. As soon as she opened the box, the car started. William Lane, who was talking to Harton rk outside the car and receiving Charlotte Lanesputer, watched his own car drive away in front of him. William Lane: ??????????? William Lane watched the car for a while before finally speaking, My car left. Harton rkughed mercilessly, I saw. Im still here, said William Lane, calling Andrew Lane with his cell phone as he spoke. Meanwhile, Kevin rkmented leisurely from the side, So Your home treatment isnt much better than mine. William Lane silently called his father on the phone. In the car, Charlotte Lane saw that the car had started and immediately said, My brother hasnte up yet.
Andrew Lane was puzzled, Your brother came out with you? Because many times the two didnte out together. If William came out first, Andrew would wait for Charlotte in the car. And if Charlotte came out first, Andrew would take her home first. Today the two dide out together, but William was so tall that Andrew didnt see him. He even saw Kevin rk. Because Kevin rk greeted him. Hmm, Charlotte Lane replied. The driver slowed down the car. Andrew Lane looked back at the car, but it had already gone a distance and he couldnt see much, No worries. Hes a grown man, it shouldnt be hard for him to get home. He had just finished saying this when William Lanes call came in. Dad, you left me behind. Hmm, Charlotte just told me, Andrew Lanes tone didnt seem guilty at all. Charlotte watched her father while eating her cake with a fork.
You only found out because my sister told you, William finished speaking, Soe pick me up. How old are you? And you still need someone to pick you up? Moreover, youre in your thirties, whats the deal with still living at home? Andrew Lane not only didnt feel guilty but seemed somewhat disgusted. William Lane: Charlotte listened silently to her fathers double standard. Kevin rk is a year younger than you, and hes been married for almost a year, Andrew Lane found a reason out of nowhere, Look at you. Fine, I wonte home tonight, William Lane finished speaking and thennded a fatal blow, My sistersputer is still with me, tell her to use it tomorrow morning. Wait a minute! Andrew Lane said, Come back tonight first. Then the voice of Kevin rk came from the phone, Okay, Uncle Lane. Ill take him home. Thinking that he wouldnt have to turn back, Andrew Lane immediately agreed, Alright, so be it. After William hung up the phone, he nced at the cunning person beside him. Kevin rk took out his car key, smiled, and said, Lets go. William Lane gritted his teeth. This guy not only showed off in front of his father-inw but also managed to legitimately stay at the Lanes house tonight.
That night, Kevin rk had dinner at the Lanes and even drank some wine. Then, as a matter of course, he couldnt drive due to having consumed alcohol and ended up staying at the Lanes residence. After dinner, everyone sat in the living room for a while, watching TV and chatting. Old Master Lane watched TV for a while and suddenly said, I heard that Turner Daniel wants his grandson to seed as Dean? Dad, youve heard of it too? Andrew Lane asked. Old Master Lane nodded, The news has been spreading quickly over the past few days. Ive also heard a little bit about it. Charlotte always felt that there was something wrong with this, Isnt the news spreading too quickly? Kevin rk, sitting next to her, peeling pistachios, said, Ezekiel Santiago was targeted the moment he entered the Research Institute. Any small disturbance would be amplified. Its expected that the news spread quickly. Andrew Lane said, The situation was even worse when Ezekiel Santiagos father joined the Research Institute. He was closely watched and couldnt stand it, so he wrote a letter ofmitment, promising never to take over the Research Institute, and thats when things subsided. Charlotte had heard some of the stories about Turner Daniels father, so Turner Daniel wanted his grandson to take over directly. But everyone has asked the Dean for clues, and he hasnt given a clear answer. Now its just spection. William Lane said, At least now it seems calm on the surface. Everyone agreed with this view. Then Old Master Lane said again, What do you think about Turner Daniel bing Dean? Chapter 532: 475: Dancing Chapter 532: Chapter 475: Dancing Old Master Lanes sudden question made William Lane choke on his tea. Over the years, William Lane would discuss everything with Old Master Lane, especially when he couldnt make a decision. Old Master Lane would always provide him with the necessary help. But there were very few times when he made decisions for him. He would always analyze the situation and let William Lane make the decision himself. Because he knew that William Lane wasnt clueless about what to do; he was just used to having a supportive voice. Moreover, sometimes Old Master Lane would also pose questions about the situation to William. Listening to his thoughts and his insights. So, a question like todays was quite normal. But todays felt a bit different. He couldnt quite pinpoint where the difference was.
It felt like being taken back to his childhood, when he and Kevin rk would sit together, asionally joined by a young L. The three of them would be questioned together. Back then, they didnt understand much, so sometimes their answers were off. And because of that, they would sometimes reject questions. Compared to Williams reaction, Kevin rk was much moreposed. He said, Let nature take its course. If he has the ability to take over, thats great. After all, he was appointed by Dean Yue, so supporting him, both publicly and privately, is the right thing to do. But if he doesnt have the ability, then well have to rece him. Stability in the Research Institute is the priority. The Dean has the power to designate a sessor. Once designated, the sessor would qualify to take over if more than half of the families in the Research Institute agreed. After taking office for half a year, there would be another vote. Only if more than half still agreed could they officially take up the post. Old Master Lane nodded, What about you, L? What do you think? L looked at Old Master Lane and hesitated before saying, The person I trained shouldnt be bad. Old Master Lane looked at William Lane again. William Lane said, Grandfather, dont look at me. One Lane Family is enough for me to deal with, I really dont have that much energy. You can let your sisters handle the Lane Family, Old Master Lane said. William Lane looked at L and Olivia Lane. Olivia Lane had been engrossed in watching and listening to their conversation. But as soon as this topic was mentioned, she immediately lowered her eyelids and stroked the ragdoll cat in her arms. As if she hadnt heard anything. And L, too, turned her attention to the TV, as though she hadnt been engaged in the conversation at all.
Look at their attitude, William Lane gritted his teeth. A man hides from responsibility, and yet expects his sisters to bear the burden, Andrew Lane said. William Lane: He deeply reflected on why his family status had been declining recently.
He even felt that, in this family, Kevin rks status was now higher than his. Old Master Lane smiled and said, I know the situation has been a bit unstable recently, and you all have your own thoughts. But I still want to nag. Being ambitious is not a bad thing, but dont let ambition blind your heart. Consider the big picture, and let everything take its course. Whats ours will be ours, and whats not, we wont force it. L and others responded in agreement. Imperial Capital was rtively stable, so L and Kevin rks trip to the Mountain Sea Continent was arranged. The day before going to the Mountain Sea Continent, Kevin rk and L visited the Dance Association after getting off work from the Research Institute. While they were going to the Mountain Sea Continent, Andrew Lane would once again apany Sophie Ortiz on her tour. During this time, the Lane familyspany was being managed by Andrew Lane. He was about to leave, and it was precisely when the Lane familys shares had to be reacquired, so there were a lot of matters to hand over to William Lane. Father and son were in thepany all the time, and they couldnt get off work even when it was time. Today, the driver Sophie Ortiz had brought was busy, so Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane went to pick her up together. When they arrived at the Dance Association, the rehearsal wasnt over yet. After talking with them for a while, Sophie Ortiz told them to walk around the Dance Association.
They didnt go too far, just hanging around nearby practice rooms. There were artistic photos in the corridors, and disy cases filled with trophies. Did youe here often when you were a kid? Kevin rk asked. Not really, Charlotte Lane looked at the trophies on the wall, I went to the Court Music Academy more often. asionally, my mom would bring me here. Kevin rk was silent for a moment before asking, Do you like dancing? Charlotte Lane looked at him, hesitated a moment, and said, I quite like it. But practicing when I was younger was painful, so I didnt learn it well. It was sporadic. Kevin rk thought of the video he saw on Koymoon Ind in M Continent where she was dancing. Actually, she danced very well. Charlotte Lane chuckled, Technically, since I learned from my mom when I was so young, I should be their senior. But because I didnt learn well, my mom stripped me of that title. The title of junior was given to me because I am her daughter. Kevin rk slightly raised the corner of his lips, We have an unspoken bond, both of us not following our mothers professions. I followed my fathers profession, Charlotte Lane said, Im doing pretty well in the hackermunity. My dad taught me when I was little. That should count. It counts. Kevin rk touched her face and said, Youve surpassed your teacher. The word good doesnt do justice to your abilities. Your ttery, Third Master, is getting more and more practiced, Charlotte Lane said, then looked at the trophies on the wall. After a while, she looked back at Kevin rk and said, Would you like to see me dance?
Am I really that fortunate? There was a hint of surprise in Kevin rks eyes, as he hadnt expected her to take the initiative to offer. Yes, Charlotte Lane replied, But you might be better off watching the practice going on in another practice room. But theyre not you, Kevin rk said. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and led Kevin rk into an empty rehearsal room. She nced at the chair next to the mirror and said, Sit. Kevin rk sat down as instructed. Charlotte Lane picked a music at random on her cell phone, but she didnt connect to the speaker. After ying the music, she put her cell phone on top of the speaker. Then, she took a hair tie from Kevin rks pocket and turned her high ponytail into a hair bun. After fixing her hair, she stood in the middle of the practice room, did some simple stretches, then chose a random starting point, entered the music, and followed the beat. The impromptu performance somewhat caught her off guard. So, she simply showed off her skills. She performed on-the-spot aerial turns, leg lifts, four-position turns, step-up aerial turns, whip turns For each skill, Charlotte Lane did at least six rotations as a base. Sometimes, she would do more than ten rotations for a single skill. Moreover, she performed several techniques one after another, without any pause. Her speed was so fast that her arms and hair created afterimages.
Today, she was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of blue skinny jeans. The white T-shirt was tucked into her jeans. It was simple and elegant. When she danced, she looked refreshingly refined. She performed front flips in the cloud, leaps with front flips, bridge, leg lifts, and kicks One technique after another. When she bent her waist, she was so flexible, she seemed boneless. Because of the movement, her white T-shirt came untucked from her jeans, revealing her fair waist Kevin rk was initially immersed in her technique, but when he saw her waist, he narrowed his eyes slightly Chapter 533: 476: What Others Have, You Must Have Too Chapter 533: Chapter 476: What Others Have, You Must Have Too Ste Edwards had been rehearsing with Sophie Ortiz these days. Today, her repertoire ended a bit earlier, but she didnt leave. As usual, she waited for Sophies rehearsal to finish. She had just gone to the restroom, and when she came back, she heard a sounding from the practice room and curiously went to take a look. When there were no performances scheduled, all the practice rooms on this floor would be full, but once a performance was arranged, everyone would gather in Sophies practice room. So at this point in time, she was somewhat curious about the sound in the practice room. The door to the practice room was not fully closed, leaving a small gap. From the entrance, she could see Charlotte Lane at a nce. When Ste saw the person inside, she was momentarily stunned before she became rooted to the spot. She watched Charlottes fingers, arms, neck, waist, and legs. She observed every technique and every movement. From a professional standpoint, she could give a very good evaluation. Even these techniques were better than some people in the Dance Association. Sophies dance represented the highest level of ssical dance.
Her daughter, even if she merely inherited a little of her genes, would naturally be quite good as well. However,pared to those who could perform, there was still a gap. And the difference was more or less about systematic and repetitive practice. But what about it? Ste watched her and thought that in the eyes of a loved one, there would be no professional standards. You were always the best, no matter how you performed. This was something others couldnt achieve, no matter how hard they tried. Like in Edward Kirstens eyes, no matter how hard she tried and how well she danced, she would never be as good as the Enigma Starry in his heart. Ste felt a gradually increasing ache in her chest with each breath and involuntarily clenched her fingers hanging by her side. Inside the practice room, Charlotte took another stepping turn She turned without a problem, but her bun couldnt withstand it, so it unraveled. Thats why she stopped as well. Then Hanton rks apuse immediately rang out. Charlotte was catching her breath a little, and while taking apart her fallen bun, she looked at Harton and said, Such avish apuse. Harton approached and helped her with her hair, Its because Madam danced well. Her hair was entangled with the hair tie, making it difficult to fix. Charlotte simply turned around, letting Harton fix it for her. Harton carefully helped her with her hair, speaking in a gentle voice, With some practice, you can perform with Aunt Sophie. Charlotteughed softly, and in a light voice replied, What has made the ever-picky Third Master suddenly lower his standards? After saying this, she answered herself, Its love. Hanton sensed her good mood after the dance and smiled, Does telling the truth not win anyones trust these days?
Ill give you a choice then. Charlotte looked at Harton through the mirror, her soft voice suddenly lowered, Would you like me to perform in the future, or would you rather I only dance for you alone? Just as he was about to untie the hair tie, Hartons hand suddenly stopped upon hearing these words. He looked at Charlotte through the mirror as well. The two stared at each other through the mirror.
Charlotte clearly felt Hartons surprise, joy, and the little leap of excitement buried deep in his heart for the second option. But after a moment of silence, he looked down at her hair, untied the hair tie, and smoothed her tangled hair with his hand, saying, Id rather you choose what you like. Charlotte watched as hebed her hair. She had been very curious and fond of many things since she was a child. Thankfully, she was born into a good family. Regardless of what she wanted to learn, her family would always wholeheartedly support her. So, among the things she had learned well, there was always genuine love. Dance was one of them. But why did she stop dancing She knew in her heart that she was influenced by Edward Kirsten. But today, when Kevin rk asked her, she looked into his eyes and wanted to jump again. In that instant, the thought in her head was. Others have seen it, her brother Arthur must see it too. So with a hot-headed decision, she jumped.
After jumping, she impulsively asked him a question. What I like Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk, I prefer thetter. Kevin rk tied her hair for her, and then hugged her from behind, kissing the back of her neck: From now on, the little girl should only dance for me. Depends on my mood. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows. Kevin rk was amused by her cold and slightly arrogant tone, holding her chin as they looked at each other. He kissed her lips twice more and let her go. When the two left the Practice Room, Ste Edwards had already left. Charlotte noticed that there was someone outside the door after she had finished dancing, but when Ste had left while she was fixing her hair, she didnt pay it much attention. When Sophie Ortiz finished work, Ste Edwards was there as she left with Charlotte Lane. Ste Edwards exchanged a few words with them before leaving first. Although she hid it well, Charlotte still sensed her awkward attitude. Ever since the inexplicably hostile incidentst time, this time she had a hard time talking to her. Charlotte didnt know where her hostility and awkwardness came from. The two had no conflicts of interest. Moreover, ording to Morris, Ste Edwards seemed to quite like her.
So where was the problem? As she thought, Charlotte looked toward Kevin rk. Kevin rk was chatting with Sophie Ortiz. When he saw her looking over, her eyes looked cold and probing. Whats the matter? Kevin rk asked cautiously. Sophie Ortiz also looked over. Charlotte looked at Kevin rk for a while, then took back her gaze: Nothing. Was it really nothing? Kevin rk thought so, but just now that gaze, he seemed to see a washing board waving at him in the supermarket. But looking again, the little girl was calm and indifferent as if the person just now wasnt her. This trip to the Mountain Sea Continent was Charlotte Lanes first long journey after returning to the Lane family. The evening before leaving, Sophie Ortiz and Aunt Cruz packed threerge suitcases filled with clothes, food, and essentials for Charlotte Lane. While the two of them were packing, Old Master Lane and Andrew Lane kept reminding her to take care of her health and be safe.
Olivia Lane was even nagged to sleep. But Charlotte listened to them. Charlotte, this suitcase is full of clothes. These two mainly contain food. Sophie Ortiz said, Many of them were made by Aunt Cruz herself, share them with your friends. Charlotte raised her eyebrows: Mom, let me give you a heads-up. What? Sophie Ortiz looked at her and asked. If I really give these to them. Charlotte said, Our home might always have visitors and be lively. Thats good, I like lively. Sophie Ortiz said. Yeah, not bad. Andrew Lane agreed, Our house is big enough to amodate many people. Charlotte smiled but didnt respond. In her heart, she thought: I hope youll be just as happy when the timees. Chapter 534: 477: Going to Mountain Sea Continent Chapter 534: Chapter 477: Going to Mountain Sea Continent Sis, are you asleep? It was past 10 PM, and Olivia Lane came to Charlotte Lanes door after taking a shower. Charlottes door wasnt locked, so she easily opened it. Not yet. Charlotte was working on a design draft. Hearing Olivias voice, she shut off the tablet, Come in. Olivia quickly entered the room and immediately takes a seat on her sisters bed. Charlotte, seated on the sofa by the French windows, raised an eyebrow when she saw her sister sitting on the bed. Sis, can I sleep with you tonight? Olivia Lane sat on her bed, her legs swinging. Charlotte raised an eyebrow: Whats up? Nothing, just want to sleep with you. Olivia Lane tugged on her pajamas, We used to always sleep together when we were kids. Charlotte looked at her, and after a while she said, Okay. Olivia immediately perked up. She ced her cell phone on the bedside table and cheerfully pulled back the covers to lie on the bed. She then rolled around in the quilt, You carry on with your work, no need to mind me.
Im done. After bidding goodnight to Kevin rk through a message on her phone, Charlotte walked to the other side of the bed, turned off the ceiling light with the remote control, and alsoy on the bed, Going to sleep? Olivia grabbed her phone and quickly replied to a message, Sleep, turn off the light. Charlotte then turned off the bedsidemp as well. After they both settled down, Olivia Lane, just like when they were little, immediately touched Charlottes arm and hugged it, Sis, take me to Mountain Sea Continent tomorrow. Hm? I havent been to Mountain Sea Continent, take me to see. Olivia suggested. Whats so special about Mountain Sea Continent? Charlotte asked puzzledly. Of course, all new ces are worth seeing. Olivia hugged her arm, Sis, take me with you. I promise Ill behave and not give you any trouble. But its really hot over there now. Its okay, Im not afraid of the heat. Charlotteughed, Will mom and dad agree? Will Brother agree? At home, if you agree, everyone will agree. Olivia responded, Ive already packed my stuff. Tomorrow, I can just grab my bag and go with you. Okay, fine. Charlotte agreed. Youve agreed? Yeah. Thank you, sis. Olivia cuddles her head on Charlottes shoulder, I knew youre the best. Charlotte patted her head lightly, Better sleep now, we have to get up early tomorrow. Alright.
The next day, Olivia sessfully apanied Charlotte onto the flight to Mountain Sea Continent. And to her surprise, not only was Kevin rk, whom she anticipated, on the ne, but also Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson. Especially Hugo rk. Upon seeing his paralysis-stricken face, more than half of Olivias excitement for going to a new ce was diluted.
Sheined in whispers to Charlotte all the way about why he was here. Once they arrived at Mountain Sea Continent, Charlotte, followed by Olivia, went to Dark Radiance with Kevin rk. After arriving at Dark Radiance and getting out of the car, Charlotte saw Adrian Roberts, James Cooper, Yoshua Archer, and Edward Darkmoon, along with a group of others, neatly arranged to wee them. Kevin rk was also evidently seeing this kind of scene for the first time, prompting him to frown. If this were in the past, when Kevin frowned, this group of people would have been scared enough to immediately kneel and kowtow. But now having Charlotte there, they werent as scared. The smiles on their faces just stiffened a bit, and they swallowed back whatever they were about to say. What are you all doing? Kevin asked, Weing me? For some reason, no one spoke. Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson were also looking at this setup. Nothing at Dark Radiance had ever been this fancy before. Whats more, they even brought out Silver Pce. Sitting at James Coopers feet, the beasts entire body was white fur, its eyes shing with fierceness, domineering yet imposing. Only, the bow tie it wore around its neck made its imposing demeanor seem somewhat gentlemanly.
I see. Kevin rk nodded, speaking quietly, its not my wee. Boss, weing Lady Zane is the same as weing you~~~~~~ The voice of James Cooper made a sudden turn towards the end. Because Adrian Roberts stepped on his foot, while Yoshua Archer pinched his arm. Cooper jumped up, bending his waist, standing on one foot: What are you doing? Am I wrong? To hell with you, has your brain been set on fire? Adrian Roberts cursed. Thomas Firway: ?????? Big Boss and Lady Zane are husband and wife, did I say something wrong? Shut up. After Adrian finished, he pulled out a smile he thought was very cordial, and said, Wee back, Lady Zane. Watching Adrians smile, Olivia Lane shuddered unconsciously. Thank you. Charlotte Lane said politely. At this time, the Silver Pce had run out of patience and couldnt wait any longer. It got up and walked towards Charlotte Lane. Olivia saw this huge creature, its eyes filled with fierceness, murderous aura,ing towards them.
She instinctively pulled Charlotte back. Charlotte was pulled back a couple of steps by Olivia. And she herself bumped directly into Hugo rk. Hugo immediately supported her and held her hand. But Olivia was truly a little scared, even after bumping into Hugo, she still pulled Charlotte back a few steps. But the Silver Pce was there for Charlotte, so Olivia couldnt avoid it and even let out a cry of fright. Charlotte held her and didnt let her back away further: Dont be afraid, it wont bite. Ah? Olivia was held by one hand by Charlotte and the other hand was held by Hugo The Silver Pce sat in front of Charlotte, looking up at her. Charlotte bent down and touched its head. The tail of the Silver Pce immediately brushed the ground once. Would you like to touch it? Charlotte said. Olivia shook her head immediately: I feel like it doesnt seem to like me, it looks at me so fiercely. The Silver Pce was too big. When it walked, the muscles under its white fur were clearly visible.
Olivia thought that one swipe of its paw could kill her. Later, the group went to the reception room. The Silver Pce was always by the side of Charlotte. Especially after sitting on the sofa, the Silver Pce directly jumped on the sofa andy on Charlottes legs. Charlotte was sitting with Kevin rk on her right, and the Silver Pce on her left. Olivia sat between Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson, grabbing the sleeves of the two. Watching Charlottebing the wolfs hair. She said, Sis, you know it well? Yes, Charlotte said, Its called the Silver Pce. Silver Pce? The Silver Pce opened its eyes and looked at her. Olivia held her breath and said: You sleep, you sleep. You dont need to look at me. Dont mind me. Your eyes are looking at me like youre looking at food. The Silver Pce wont attack people randomly, Hugo rk said. You know it too? Olivia looked at him. Hugo nodded. The Silver Pce indeed wont randomly attack people, but he had never seen it so submissive towards anyone. Not even towards his Third Uncle Towards his Third Uncle at most they just have a mutually beneficial rtionship. I kill for you, you feed me meat. What happened to his aunt when she came to the Mountain Sea Continentst time? Allonzo also mentioned after returning home that there had been something absolutely unimaginable. But he only said such a sentence and did not exin in detail. Looking at it now, indeed there were some things he couldnt even imagine. The only possibility was His aunt is Martin Hanzel. This thought made Hugos head feel numb for a moment. He unconsciously looked at Kevin rk. Chapter 535 - 478: Lost Contact Chapter 535: Chapter 478: Lost Contact On the second day of their arrival at the Mountain Sea Continent, Charlotte Lane left a box of snacks brought by Sophie Ortiz and Aunt Cruz for Edward Darkmoon, and another box for the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Logan, who rarely returned to the Mountain Sea Continent, found himself unable to leave for half a month aftering back. Being exploited by his own brother, he had to work hard without making any money. As he wondered how to escape back to the M Continent without getting scolded every day, Charlotte Lane brought Kevin rk and Olivia Lane to visit. Logan, who had been preparing to run away from home at any moment, immediately changed his mind about leaving. Big Boss! Why didnt you say you wereing? I missed you so much. Logan came down the stairs and, halfway down, leaped off to the side and walked up to Charlotte Lane, wanting to hug her. But the moment she stretched out her hand, Charlotte Lane was pulled back a bit. Logans raised hand froze as he looked at Kevin rk, who pulled her back. Instantly, murderous intent filled the air: What are you doing here? Im naturally apanying mydy. Kevin rks voice was light, but it was obvious he was deliberately trying to annoy Logan. Whos yourdy? Logans facial features were very pronounced, and just a slight cold expression made him appear aggressive. The surrounding air suddenly solidified, and it seemed as if a string was stretched between Kevin rk and Logan C Logan was pulling the string one-sided, but Kevin rk had no intention of letting go. Charlotte Lane raised her hand to scratch the corner of her eyebrow and was about to speak, but a voice came from upstairs before she had a chance. Camilia, youre being too rude. Luke said whileing down from upstairs. Logan quieted down a bit but still red at Kevin rk. Olivia Lane watched the maning down from the second floor: blonde hair, white skin, and blue eyes. He had deep eye sockets and a high nose. He looked like a man who had stepped out of aic. Olivia Lane was immediately mesmerized. Luke walked up to Charlotte Lane and smiled, Big Boss. Charlotte Lane responded. Then he looked at Kevin rk and extended his hand: Third Master. Kevin rk shook hands with him. Luke said, Im sorry, my sister can be like this. Please be understanding. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows but didnt say anything. Then Luke looked at the person beside Charlotte Lane, Boss, this is My sister. Charlotte Lane led Olivia Lane to the seating area. Sister? Logan immediately followed Olivia Lane, carefully looking her over, Sister from where? Real sister. Charlotte Lane sat down and looked at Logan, Just like you and your brothers rtionship. Logan suddenly exchanged nces with Luke, and then they both looked at her. Both of them were giving Charlotte Lane a look that seemed to say, Big boss, you must be still sleepy. Charlotte Lane didnt exin further but just said, If youre curious, ask Alvin Phantom. Logan and Luke didnt ask any more questions. But Logan was very curious about Olivia Lane and kept looking at her, even poking her face, Wow, such soft cheeks! Olivia Lane red at her unfriendly. But Logan didnt care; she even reached out to grab Olivia Lanes hand more eagerly. However, before she could even touch it, Charlotte Lane, who had been discussing the tinum Burke Family business with Kevin rk and Luke, urately grabbed her wrist without even looking back. Kevin rk and Luke both looked at them. Charlotte Lane looked back at Logan. Logan, like a female rogue, immediately grabbed Charlotte Lanes hand with her other hand, raising her eyebrows and smiling. Kevin rk squinted his eyes: Olivia Lane lowered her eyes to see the two hands sped in front of her body, then looked at Logans smug expression and suddenly understood why Kevin rk was hostile towards her. Shes still young. Dont tease her. Charlotte Lane let go of Logans hand. Logan also let go and said, Big Boss, why are you so protective of budding talents? You know what it means to protect budding talents. Luke said. I know a lot of things. Logan looked at Olivia Lane, Its nothing, shell grow up after teasing for two years. Sister, just ignore her. Luke directly called her sister to Olivia Lane, If she does something to you, just scold her. Logan didnt care about her brothers elbow going outwards. She sat casually on the sofa with her legs crossed and listened to them talk about the tinum Burke Family. Liam Davis and Amelia Miles will return to Mountain Sea Continent around the 15th day of each month because the tinum Burke family has a meeting every month. They will be back to M Continent after two to three days. Luke said, They should be back in a few days. No hurry, rest for two days first. Charlotte Lane said. Charlotte Lane said to rest for two days, but she didnt rest much. She apanied Olivia Lane to y outside for a day, and then helped Luke deal with some matters. Later, Olivia Lane was always apanied by Hugo rk, Allonzo Hobson, and Logan to y outside. Kevin rk was not idle either. While Charlotte Lane was busy at the Hundred Demons Pavilion, he was also busy andter took Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon out for a trip. When he left, Charlotte Lane was at the Hundred Demons Pavilion. He just sent her a message, saying that he would be out for a trip and would be back in the evening. When Charlotte Lane returned to the Dark Radiance in the afternoon, Adrian Roberts and Thomas Firway also told her about Kevins departure, but Charlotte didnt ask more, and they didnt say more. However, Kevin didnt return that night. Charlotte Lane finished dinner and slept for a while. When she woke up, she found that her sent message had not received a reply. She faintly felt that something was wrong and immediately checked Kevins location, but couldnt find it. Even the locations of Yoshua Archer, Edward Darkmoon, and the people they took with them couldnt be found. The signal was being interfered with. Charlotte Lane had theputer monitor their location and immediately went out to look for Adrian Roberts. Hugo rk happened to be outside. Seeing her serious expression, he asked, Auntie, whats wrong? Where did Kevin go today? Charlotte Lane asked. Third Uncle went to see Adam Scott today. Hugo rk said, Is there a problem? Adam Scott, Robinson Scotts father. I cant contact him. Charlotte immediately called Adam Scott: Uncle Scott, is Kevin still with you? On the other side, Adam Scott said that Kevin had left long ago and should have arrived at Dark Radiance ording to the time. Charlotte Lane hung up the phone and went through the entire map of Mountain Sea Continent in her head. She wondered where there would be no signal at all, where they couldnt locate it at all. Or maybe someone deliberately interfered. Auntie. I cant contact Kevin, and I cant locate them. Charlotte Lane said, Their signal has been shielded. How many people did he bring when he left? Apart from Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon, he brought a team of people. Adrian Roberts said. Since they were going to see Adam Scott to discuss a contract renewal, they didnt bring many people. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon were bored at Dark Radiance and joined in the trip. Ill take some people to find them, Charlotte Lane said as she walked out. Captain Mason, call four teams of people. Yes. Hugo rk followed her and said, Auntie, you stay, Ill go. You stay behind, Charlotte Lane said, If someone is really targeting Kevin, and this precisely, Im afraid Dark Radiance is also in their n. Guard here. Hugos eyebrows knitted. Charlotte Lane didnt get his response, and she looked at him, You are moremanding here than I am. Also, protect Olivia. Chapter 536 - 479: Ryan Easton Attacked… Chapter 536: Chapter 479: Ryan Easton Attacked A portion of Dark Radiance had followed Arthur North in Imperial Capital while he was in F Continent. So they were rtively familiar with Hugo rk. Charlotte Lane had a lot to consider. Although she was now Mrs. rk and the people of Dark Radiance obeyed her, after all, they had spent little time together. What if someone targets Dark Radiance in Arthur Norths absence? She might not be able to unite Dark Radiances members. It would be safer to have Hugo rk stay behind. Charlotte Lane changed her clothes and went downstairs to find Adrian Roberts when Allonzo Hobson came back from outside. He was discussing with Adrian Roberts and Hugo rk about which route to take, apparently going with them as well. Charlotte Lane listened to their discussion while checking her gun and dagger. After a brief discussion, everyone got in the car and prepared to leave. But just as Charlotte Lane got in the car, Juan Wright suddenly called. Charlotte Lane closed the car door and answered the phone. The car drove towards the entrance, and after listening to what Juan Wright said, Charlotte told the driver to stop. Brook Sister, whats wrong? Easton Group is under hacker attack. Charlotte Lane was very calm, chillingly so. It was as if something separated her from the rest, stripping away all emotions. Someone was targeting Arthur North. Allonzo Hobson straightened up abruptly: Then Easton Groups things If Nathan Ninevara stated that Easton Group was under hacker attack, then the attackers must have significant backing. Its fine for now. The ice beneath Charlottes eyes umted, even forming ayer of ice around her, making it difficult for others to approach. Adrian Roberts had never seen her like this and didnt dare to speak for a moment. It was fine for now, but who knows what the future holds. You guys go find Arthur North. Charlotte Lane looked at Allonzo Hobson and made a quick decision, Ill go block Easton Groups online attack. Alright. Allonzo Hobson immediately agreed, Brook Sister, dont worry, Arthur will be fine. Ok. Charlotte Lane got out of the car. She approached the car in the back and stroked Silver Pces neck through the lowered window. The two stared at each other briefly, and that was it. But Silver Pceforted Charlotte somewhat. Silver Pce was very clever, and for a long time, Charlotte trusted only it. Charlotte Lane returned to the upper floor, and Hugo rk couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief upon seeing her back. But hearing about the hacker attack on Easton Group made his heart skip a beat again. Charlotte Lane didnt waste any time, constantly monitoring Arthurs location with herputer. She then used two moreputers Hugo brought for her to maintain Easton Groups defense system while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Juan Wright had told her over the phone. A group called the X Hacker Alliance had suddenly attacked tonight, and fiercely so. If it werent for Easton Groups solid defense system, it would probably be entirely paralyzed by now. If Easton Group bes paralyzed, the losses would be much more than just its reputation, status, and prestige. The primary concern would be the research they conducted behind the scenes. It might even affect the border. None of these oues were eptable for them. This X Hacker Alliance had only been established recently, not even a month ago. Holt Lawrence had mentioned it to her. It was making some noise in the hackermunity. Many people said that the alliance was established to counter Celestial Pivot. Many hackers involved were unknown beforehand, but after the formation of the alliance, they aplished several significant tasks. These impressive feats rapidly gained momentum. Holt Lawrence had been closely monitoring their activity. But Charlotte did not expect them to target Easton Group all of a sudden. Perhaps from its very establishment, someone had been pushing from behind the scenes. Now facing off against the hackers, Charlotte did indeed feel that the enemy was powerful. And just as Juan Wright had said, it was a group attack, and not just one or two people targeting Easton Group. There will always be stronger people lurking in the shadows. Although those at the top are considered the strongest, neers will always emerge, and experts will always hide their true strengths from the public. The online chaos of repelling, defending, and attacking Charlotte Lane was not the only participant, and numerous hackers from Celestial Pivot joined this smokeless battle as well. For a day and a night, Charlotte Lane didnt sleep. She sensed that one of their opponents might be stronger than Holt Lawrence. Such long-term battles of attrition were quitemon, actually. Since her childhood, when Andrew Lane taught her, he told her that many battles required perseverance and determination. Everyone knew about her defeating Holt Lawrence back then, showcasing her talent. In reality, during the first match, she ambushed Holt Lawrence and didnt require much time. Later, they fought a second time, a proper battle. They fought for two days, and ultimately Holt Lawrence was defeated and handed Celestial Pivot over to her. Thus Charlotte Lane didnt pay much mind to this long, drawn-out hacker battle. No matter how powerful the enemy was, she didnt take them seriously. The only thing that tormented her was theck of news about Arthur North. A voice in her heart told her to trust Arthur North, as he was so powerful, and nothing would happen to him. However, the current situation forced her to doubt her inner voice. Arthurs opponents were well-prepared and well-informed. They even seemed to understand them well. Moreover, like she was now facing, there might even be someone more powerful than Arthur North. All was uncertain. Amelie Quentin stayed with Charlotte Lane in the room the whole time. Charlotte Lane was very calm, veryposed. Last night, she even arranged for a group of people from Hundred Demons Pavilion to find Arthur North. Yet, Amelie Quentin clearly felt that with the passage of time, Charlotte Lanes aura gradually became colder, more ruthless, numb, and merciless. She was repelling everything from the outside world while wrapping herself inyers of frost the veryyers of frost once melted by Arthur North were now being wrapped around again. After another night, it was a little past 7 am. Charlotte Lanes counter-attack firmly defeated the X Hacker Alliance. The hackers of Celestial Pivot led by Holt Lawrence immediately cooperated with Charlotte Lane, paralyzing the attackersputers and systemspletely. The crisis at Easton Group was over, and Charlotte Lane not only reinforced Easton Groups defenses, but she also investigated the alliance thoroughly. With their defeat, investigating them was easy. Her investigations led her to the tinum Burke Family. This X Hacker Alliance had colluded with the tinum Burke Family, who supported them from the shadows. Charlotte Lane looked at theputer constantly monitoring Arthurs location, which disyed no progress. She looked at it for a while, a fierce murderous intent shing in her eyes, then got up and walked outside. A family like the tinum Burke Family wouldnt dare provoke Dark Radiance or Easton Group. They wouldnt dare even if Liam Davis had some level of influence. Unless there was someone else promoting the tinum Burke Family from behind, emboldening them to take this step. Chapter 537: 480: Platinum Burke Family Chapter 537: Chapter 480: tinum Burke Family As Charlotte Lane opened the door, she saw William Lane about to enter. Their eyes met, and Williams eyebrows gently knitted together. Charlotte was enveloped in an eerie cold aura, her thin lips pressed together, and there was no expression on her face. Furthermore, she hadnt rested for a long time resulting in an unnatural pallor on her face and a shallow blue color under her eyes. It added ayer of indifference to her already cold appearance. Charlotte, William looked at her and called her name. Charlotte lowered her gaze, sounding hoarse, Brother. William raised his hand to touch her head, Arthur North should be fine. Whoever encounters him is bound to have bad luck. Charlotte tried to smile but couldnt quite manage it. Then she asked a trivial question, When did you arrive? Just now. William was heartbroken to see Charlotte like this, What are you going to do? Ive stabilized the situation at the Easton Group, Charlotte said with her gaze down, and tracked down the tinum Burke Family.
So? Ive raided the tinum Burke Family. Charlottes voice was t. Williams eyes flickered, and he immediately realized, Someone is supporting the tinum Burke Family from behind. It seems so. Its very dangerous for you to go now. William said, We dont know who is behind them and how powerful they are. Whoever they are, theyll end up as corpses anyway. Charlotte spoke in a t tone. William frowned. Charlottes current state was frightening, and it made him feel an unfamiliarity. This unfamiliarity, whether it was eleven years ago or after her return, it was something he had never seen before. Charlotte Brother, dont try to talk me out of it. William paused and then said, Brother will go with you. Ill be fine on my own. Ill go with you. William insisted. Charlotte looked up at him and nodded after a moment, Alright. Seeing that Charlotte agreed, William said, Lets eat something first. Amelie told me that you havent eaten much sincest night. Ill grab something to eat in the car. Hugo rk and Olivia Lane stayed at Dark Radiance.
Charlotte, William, and James Cooper headed to the tinum Burke Family with a team. Nearly an hours drive, Charlotte slept all the way in the car. When they arrived at the tinum Burke Family, she opened her eyes, which were filled with red bloodshot veins. James Cooper negotiated with the tinum Burke Family members at the entrance, intending to visit their housemaster under the guise of a visit.
Since it was an official visit, they didnt bring too many people with them. James Cooper exined his intentions at the entrance, and the person at the entrance went in to report. Afterward, they came back out and let them in without any fuss. With the X Hacker Alliance destroyed, the tinum Burke Family, as the instigators behind the scenes, should be well aware that they were exposed now. The Easton Group was targeted because Arthur North had deliberately revealed his identity. They targeted Arthur North, so they targeted the Easton Group as well. But as for Dark Radiance since they were able to find out about Arthur Norths whereabouts, they should have known long ago that the boss of Dark Radiance was Arthur North. However, they attacked the Easton Group and intercepted Arthur North, who didnt have many men with him, yet had notunched an attack on Dark Radiance, presumably because theycked the power to do so for now. After all, this was the Mountain Sea Continent. Not everyone could touch Dark Radiance. They wouldnt actively attack Dark Radiance, but they might gradually undermine the organization. Especially when Kevin rk had suddenly disappeared. Like right now Everyone knew each others identity, but one pretended to be paying a visit while the other politely greeted them.
Charlotte Lane and their allies nned to infiltrate the tinum Burke Family, who had intentions of trapping them. So, Charlotte smoothly entered the tinum Burke Familys residence. And the people she brought with her followed suit. After all, the tinum Burke Family had to at least make a show of sincerity. Plus, they were confident they could handle the people Charlotte brought along. When they arrived at the reception room, the housemaster of the tinum Burke Family, a man in his 50s, warmly greeted them while speaking broken Chinese. Charlotte and William Lane ignored him, leaving James Cooper to exchange polite conversation with him. Charlotte casually nced at theyout of the reception room and the people guarding it. James Cooper made some irrelevant small talk to stall for time. The tinum Burke housemaster chatted with James Cooper for nearly five minutes before cutting his speech short and inquiring about Charlotte and William Lanes identities. However, before James could speak, someone else beat him to it: Thisdy is Kevin rks wife, Mrs. rk. Charlotte and William both turned around. Amelia Miles and Liam Davis walked into the reception room together. The housemaster, though his Chinese was poor, could understand it: Mrs. rk?
Amelia stood in front of Charlotte, her face full of pride and her previous deceitful docility vanished: Sister, we havent seen each other in a while. Charlotte just looked at her without moving. Amelia then looked at William and said, So, Young Master Lane has alsoe? What is thisknowing that your own brother is losing, you started to go after your brothers wife? These words were spoken. It was as if both sides had been given a clear and obvious fuse to start the battle. The tinum Burke housemasters insincere enthusiasm vanished from his face, reced by an expression of arrogance and readiness for action. A sh of murderous intent flickered in the depths of Williams eyes. Amelia continued tough, Oh, Im just joking. Dont take it seriously, dont take it seriously. After that, she looked at Charlotte and said, Sister, dont be too sad. Men, of course, need to move on from old rtionships. Charlotte listened to the delicate ticking of her wristwatch. Also, sister, dont deliberately waste time. Amelia sneered, Your intentions are obvious to everyone. The Dark Radiance forces have been stopped halfway. No one ising. James Cooper suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. Amelia caught his expression andughed without concealment.
Today, she wanted to watch Daisy Zane kneel in front of her and die in front of her. Young Master Lane, this is not the Imperial Capital. Nor is it a ce where the Lane Family holds power. Amelia said, Choosing the right team is essential. Amelias expression softened a bit when she looked at William. Is it? William said. Of course. Amelia replied, Dark Radiance has always been loyal to the rks, and they may notst much longer. If we cooperate, there will be a time when the Lane Family will rise in the Mountain Sea Continent. Of coursetoday Im merely extending an olive branch to you, we can discuss this matterter. Now, I have something important to discuss with Lady Zane. As she said this, she looked at Charlottes cold face, paused, and said, Daisy Zane, in our sisterly bond, you should kneel and beg me. Ill give you a chance to be buried with Kevin rkAh! Charlotte retaliated with a p. The force was so strong that Amelia was almost knocked down, but Charlotte quickly pulled her back up. Liam Davis and the housemaster were both startled. The people around were all on alert. Amelias vision was blurred by stars, and it took her a while to focus on Charlottes face. Her mouth was split open by the blow, and blood flowed down her chin. She touched the blood on her chin and red at Charlotte, You dare hit me! Charlotte wore a ckbat suit and boots, with a tight waist and high ponytail. She emanated a cold, ruthless aura and a frighteningly powerful murderous intent. She gripped Amelias arm, applying a little force, and whispered, Hit you? I came here today to take your life. Chapter 538: 481: Every Step Has Been Calculated Chapter 538: Chapter 481: Every Step Has Been Calcted You want my life, Daisy Zane? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can leave here alive? Do you still think youre Mrs. rk? Do you think Kevin rk can protect you? With a forceful twist, Charlotte Lane broke her arm. Amelia Miles screams echoed throughout the reception room. Her entire body trembled in pain. But her arm was still in Charlottes grip, not released. As Liam Davis tried to save Amelia from Charlotte, William Lane stepped in front of him. Liam looked at William and hesitated before saying, Young Master Lane, at this point, can you still protect her? You can try to see if I can. Young Master Lane, how much is brotherhood worth? Liam stood straight, looking at him, You value Kevin rk so much, but what about him? Even dead, hes just a pile of bones, and you wont get a single thing from him. Why bother? William didnt speak, but a mocking smile shed across his face. Young Master Lane, honestly, I dont want to fight you. As soon as Liams words fell, Charlotte kicked Amelia away.
With a full-force kick, Amelia flew out and smashed into a vase half their height. The vase shattered, and Amelias face was cut by the shards. Blood immediately flowed from the wound, which ran from the corner of her mouth to her temple. Ameliay motionless on the broken pieces, unable to move at first, but a few secondster, she curled up, holding her face and groaning in pain. Everyone in the reception room, including those guarding outside, was momentarily stunned. Liam then yelled at Charlotte, Daisy Zane! As he shouted the three words, he immediately engaged in a fight with Daisy. But William stood in front of Charlotte and struck first. In the past, Liam was a typical yboy, learning some martial arts only after arriving on the M Continent. However, his rise to power was due to his ruthlessness and cunning tactics, not his fighting skills. In terms of hand-to-handbat, Liam was no match for William, even three times over. Liam lost a tooth from a single punch, and he mmed into the door behind him. Seeing he couldnt win, he stopped fighting and retreated behind the door, holding his face as he said, William Lane, think it through. This is the tinum Burke Familys territory, and with the few people you brought, you wont be able to leave alive. William lowered his gaze, dusted off his sleeve, and said softly, How can we know without trying? Fine, you brought this on yourself. Liam finished speaking and immediately gave an order. The tinum Burke Family members were ready at any moment and circled around them upon hearing themand. The housemaster of the Burke family also retreated to safety. Dark Radiances people engaged in battle. William drew the gun from behind his waist and loaded it. Charlotte wielded a dagger in her left hand and a gun in her right hand, relentlessly attacking both in closebat and from a distance.
Centered around the reception room, the tinum Burke Family members continued to surround them. As the housemaster and Liam stood on the periphery, they ordered someone to take the immobilized Amelia away and then leisurely watched the fight. The housemaster said, That Mrs. rk If something were to happen to her here, Im afraid Dark Radiance wont let it go easily. In Mountain Sea Continent, it was hard to shake the positions of Dark Radiance and the Hundred Demons Pavilion.
The Burke housemaster was ultimately worried. Liam smirked, Kevin rk is dead. What could she do as a woman? Dark Radiance will change leadership and be busy for a while. Now would be the best time to dismantle them. But after all, thats Dark Radiance, the housemaster said, Must this woman die? Alice said today that everyone can leave, but this woman must die. Liam finished speaking and looked at Charlotte. He saw her murderous intent, coldness, and heartlessness At first, he liked her for her coolness, distance, beauty, and stunning uniqueness. But he never expected she had so many hidden aspects. Who could have imagined a girl with bloodstained hands could possess such formidablebat power? He watched her and gradually recalled Alices n. Alice told him that attacking Easton Group was only one part of their n. If sessful, it would be a pleasant surprise. If unsessful, they shouldnt be disheartened because this was just the beginning of the overall n: exposing the tinum Burke Family.
Whether the attack on Easton Group seeded or failed, they would expose the Burke family in other ways. If it failed, they would have Daisye to the Burke family herself. But regardless of the oue, Alice said Daisy woulde. She said that if the Burke family was exposed, Daisy would definitelye ording to her personality. She was one hundred percent sure of this. Furthermore, Daisy would definitely use abination of inside and outside forces to attack the Burke family. Thats why they intercepted Dark Radiance reinforcements on the road. Liam curled his lips and thought: Alice knew Daisy too well, calcting her every move so precisely. Apart from wanting a share in the Mountain Sea Continent, Alices only condition to coborate with Liam was taking Daisys life. So today, everyone could leave, but Daisy had to stay. Daisy Zane, I suggest you give up soon, Liam suddenly shouted, Dark Radiance reinforcements wonte. No matter how skilled you are, with so few people, eventually, youll get exhausted. Its all the same result, so why struggle in vain? Charlotte paid no attention to his words and continued to knock down one opponent after another. Not even three seconds passed after Liams statement before they heard the sound of helicopters. The sounds grew louder and closer, and it seemed like there were many of them.
Liam and the Burke housemaster looked up at the sky. However, they saw nothing but heard someone rush in to report. Outside, so many helicopters have arrived, and many people havee down, surrounding the ce! Liam frowned, Is it Dark Radiance? Not just Dark Radiance. The Hundred Demons Pavilion as well. Dark Radiance only has helicopters, but the Hundred Demons Pavilion has forces on the ground and in the air. The housemasters face changed dramatically, Hundred Demons Pavilion?! Yes. Judging by their clothing colors, Logan, Samuel Gray, and Damian Brown have all brought people. The housemasters legs suddenly weakened. Liams face also changed. The housemaster grabbed Liams arm and said, Liam, quickly ask Lady Alice for support! Hurry! Or else the Burke Family will be finished! Alice had been at the Burke family for a few days, and many of her people were with her. Liam and his associates had been traveling between the M Continent and Mountain Sea Continent, bringing people over under the Burke familys name. Thats why the Burke family dared to make such a fuss.
However, Alice had said that if everything went smoothly, she wouldnt intervene. But now, their situation was far worse than they had imagined. So Liam immediately contacted Alice and moved arge number of people to the periphery. Chapter 539: 482: Crossing Hands Chapter 539: Chapter 482: Crossing Hands Charlotte Lane was used to working from the inside out, and thats how shed done it all these years. However, working from the inside out isnt always a pattern, but a method, and it can be used in hundreds of different ways. Dark Radiance being intercepted onnd was within her calctions. So, Dark Radiance took to the air. And they timed their departure, just needing to stall for a little while after they arrived for everything to be sessful. Besides, there was also Hundred Demons Pavilion on the other side. Charlotte Lane contacted Luke before Dark Radiance set off. Hundred Demons Pavilion was farther away, so when Charlotte Lane set off from Dark Radiance, Hundred Demons Pavilion had already left. There were too many forces attacking from the outskirts, and their firepower was too fierce, so Liam Davis and the Housemaster had to allocate most of their forces to the periphery for defense. And the number of people from tinum Burke Family in the Reception Room was getting fewer and fewer. It was precisely because of this that Liam Davis could so clearly feel Charlotte Lanes terrifyingbat power.
When Liam Davis saw the inner area was about to be lost and was considering retreating with the Housemaster. Alice Eugene came with her people. Liam Davis and the Housemaster immediately felt relieved. The tinum Burke family was just a quickly rising family after encountering a suitable opportunity after the Thousand Mountains Alliance was wiped out. In fact, their martial power from top to bottom wasnt very good. The Housemaster inherited his fathers position and reliedpletely on the protection of those around him. Liam Davis was ateer half-learner, and when he went out, a group of bodyguards followed him. And these bodyguards skills were far inferiorpared to Dark Radiance. If they wanted to win, they could only rely on numbers and attrition. When the people were drawn away, it was clearly impossible. But Alice Eugenes people were different. They were all carefully selected and trained. They couldpletely fight against the people from Dark Radiance. Whats more, Dark Radiances people had already fought a round. The two sides shed, Alice Eugene directly went towards Charlotte Lane. She swung her fist from behind, and Charlotte Lane immediately dodged it. Then she turned to look at her. There was no cover on Alices face today, she looked at Charlotte Lane with an evil smile on her exposed face, and then said slyly, Enigma Starry, long time no see. Charlotte Lanes body was shrouded in murderous intent, and when she saw her, it didnt change at all, but her heart still sank a little. The person behind the tinum Burke family was Edward Kirsten. So the disappearance of Arthur North was also Edward Kirstens doing. What? You dont recognize me? Alice Eugene had a sinister smile on her face.
Charlotte Lane lowered her eyes and wiped the blood on her dagger with her sleeve directly: You really are haunting. Youre everywhere. Why do you think that is? Alice Eugeneughed like a madman, Of course, its because of you. Charlotte Lane didnt pick up on her words. But Alice Eugene said on her own: Joining this family, attacking Ryan Easton, and killing Arthur North all of this was because of you. All these ns were born because of you. Enigma Starry youre just a bringer of bad luck. Whoever meets you will be in trouble.
William Lane saw the two confront each other and quickly joined Charlotte Lane, helping her clear the area around her. Charlotte Lanes eyshes flickered gently, and then she asked, Did Edward Kirsten send you? Henry Kirsten told me to bring you back. Alice Eugene looked at her, and after she said this, the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared, and her face became even more sinister, But I just want you to die here. If you die, Henry will have no concerns, and he wont make one wrong judgment after another because of you. You really think too highly of Edward Kirsten. When has he ever made a correct decision? Charlotte Lane said coldly. Enigma Starry! Alice Eugene yelled at her, You really have no conscience, you really deserve to die! So do you. Charlotte, dont waste your time with her. Roy Madison said. Upon hearing Roy Madisons voice, Charlotte Lane immediately moved forward and engaged with Alice Eugene. Both of them were ruthless in their moves, aiming for each others lives without holding back. Charlotte Lane had not gotten along with Alice Eugene for a long time in the past. After discovering Edward Kirstens actions, she was disgusted with his deeds, and Alice Eugene deliberately did those unscrupulous things in front of her. Deliberately telling her what she did those days and other things. She couldnt beat her in the past nor could she kill her. But now its different.
So every move was aimed at taking her life. And Alice She used to listen to Edwardpletely, and even loved and protected those Edward wanted to protect. But now Shed rather kill Enigma Starry and apologize with her death than let Edward have a weakness thats constantly opposing him. At first, the fight between the two was fierce. Gradually, both of them affected the surrounding people and things. Their duel could be described as a house-destroying battle. Alice dodged the attack without hesitation, and quickly stabbed her dagger toward Charlotte Lanes neck. Charlottes reaction was swift, immediately dodging. The tip of the dagger grazed her neck, leaving a shallow red mark. As Charlotte retreated, she grabbed the table behind her, pushed her body with force, and kicked Alices chest. She kicked her down, smashing a chair on the other side. But Alice didnt hesitate for a second, got up immediately, and the two quickly engaged in a fight again. The two fought together, not pulling out their guns. Anyone could tell that there was some personal grudges involved. A single bullet wouldnt settle their grievances.
As they fought, they also dealt with the surrounding people. However, Dark Radiances people were not many, and they had been engaged in a prolonged battle with the tinum Burke Family. Now that they encountered Alices people, Dark Radiance gradually became disadvantaged over time. William Lane never dared to stray too far from Charlotte, fearing someone nearby would harm her. Alices skills had vastly improved since theirst encounter at Red Cliff Vige, making her a difficult opponent. But Charlotte still managed to defeat her, utilizing abination of punches, dodges, elbow strikes, knee lifts, flying knees, andteral kicks. Charlottes attacks were fast and powerful, kicking Alice away. Alice crashed into several people. Once she fell, she couldnt get up immediately. Her people helped her up. After a while, Alice recovered, pulled her gun, and aimed. Charlotte, who was dealing with the people around her, caught a glimpse of Alice drawing her gun, then saved herst bullet for Alice. She dodged to the side and fired a shot. Because Alice also dodged, the bullet hit her left shoulder.
The force of the impact caused Alice to stagger back a few steps, held up by someone. She held her injured shoulder, staring at Charlotte through the crowds of fighting people. Her eyes were filled with hatred, but her first reaction after being injured was to leave. If she killed Enigma Starry, she would have no qualms about losing her life. But if she couldnt kill her, then sacrificing her life wouldnt be worth it. So she let her people help her retreat, step by step. Charlotte spotted her intentions and immediately pursued her. But the surrounding people blocked her way, intent on covering Alices retreat. William Lane also moved towards her to assist her in breaking through. However, he was quickly surrounded, unable to reach Charlotte. Charlotte dealt with the people surrounding her while watching Alice move farther away. As she was being trapped, she heard a loud noise in the reception room on her right. The side gate of the reception room was knocked open. A white sh jumped in. While everyone was stunned, the white sh quickly approached Charlotte, pinning down one of the people beside her. Silver Pce! Upon seeing it, Charlotte felt numb for a moment. Then she immediately looked towards the side gate. Through the crowd, she spotted Kevin rk with his gun,ing over Chapter 540: 483: Feeling a Bit Wronged… Chapter 540: Chapter 483: Feeling a Bit Wronged Kevin rk wore the same ckbat suit as Charlotte Lane. Due to theck of rest, the corners of his eyes were red and there were bloodstains on his neck. There was a cut on the left sleeve of his clothes, as if it had been shed by a knife. He was wrapped in a murderous aura, looking like a demon that had just emerged from hell. With every step, he took a life. Charlotte Lane stopped when she saw him for an instant and then continued to fight, casting nces at Kevin rk. Her dog, Silver Pce, was around her C pouncing, biting, extremely ferocious, with much blood staining its white fur. Kevin rk quickly approached, and Allonzo Hobson and Thomas Firway followed, quickly dealing with the people around them. Little girl. Having taken care of the people around her, Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk. Her eyes seem puzzled as she gazed for one moment. She seemed a little unsure of what she was seeing and didnt understand why Kevin rk would be there. She even wondered if she was experiencing a hallucination.
Kevin rk immediately hugged her briefly, touching her head. Then he quickly let go, kissed her brow and asked, What, dont recognize me? Charlotte Lane looked at his face with her lips moving slightly, but she remained silent. Its me. Ill exin when we get back. Kevin rk looked at her body, her hands, and touched the red marks on her neck. Wheres your gun? Charlotte Lane lowered her gaze, looking at Kevin rks body, and replied, No more bullets. Kevin rk sensitively noticed that her voice was cold with a tinge of unnoticeable grievance. And the person I wanted to shoot is out of range. Charlotte Lanes voice became colder as if to hide that grievance, but it was still ineffective in Kevin rks ears. Everyone around her was engaged in closebat, and the gun was of no use. Furthermore, Alice Eugene was out of firing range, so having bullets wouldnt matter anyway. So, she opted not to grab anyones gun and wielded two daggers instead. It allowed her to kill faster. Seeing Charlotte Lane like this for the first time, Kevin rk felt his heart soften. He immediately handed his gun to her, Go, deal with her. Charlotte Lane caressed the gun in her hand and looked outside towards the reception room. Alice Eugene had be hidden and was out of sight. Silver Pce, lets go. Having shaken off a person from its feet, Silver Pce leaped towards the direction Charlotte Lane was looking at, leading the way. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon followed as well. Outside the tinum Burke Familys residence, there were people from Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion. It wouldnt be easy for Alice Eugene to leave. However, she didnt retreat outside but instead went towards the right side of the courtyard with her people after retreating to the courtyard. As someone cleared the path for Charlotte Lane, she soon saw Alice Eugene.
Kevin rk observed the situation, took the rifle from Yoshua Archers back, and then said to Charlotte Lane, Rooftop. Charlotte Lane nced at the nearby house and immediately understood Kevin rks meaning. The house had a natural barrier due to its corner, so once on the roof, they wouldnt be targets. It was also a good ce to aim from. There was also a tree nearby.
Seeing that she understood, Kevin rk held the rifle, sprinted, stepped on the tree, and used the momentum to climb onto the roof. When he turned around to pull Charlotte Lane up, she had already followed right behind him and climbed up. Kevin rk silently retracted the hand he had reached. Charlotte Lane crouched down, took the rifle, and aimed. Alice Eugene was almost at the entrance of the room in the right courtyard. Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon were closing in on them too. Charlotte Lane watched Alice through the scope, and just before she entered the room, she fired a shot, hitting her precisely in the back of her heart. Kevin rk looked at her resolute expression, showing no mercy. He really hated Alice to the core. In an instant, Alice fell to the ground and was immediately helped up by the people around her, dragging her into the room. Charlotte Lane used her gun to take out several more people around Alice before watching them drag Alice into the room and close the door. Dark Radiance and the Hundred Demons Pavilion members hadpletely broken in, and the people outside were all under control. Charlotte Lane followed the path cleared by Yoshua and Edward to the room that Alice entered. Once inside, she found a secret room based on the trail of blood on the ground.
There was arge mural on the wall which could be pushed open manually. Behind the pushed-open mural, there was a gap, and the material was like that of a safe. There were three mechanical password locks on the side. This material would be difficult even to st open. And this lock couldnt be hacked open using aputer. To unlock it, it would definitely take time. Big Boss Yoshua called out to Kevin rk when he came over. Charlotte Lane nced at the situation and quickly walked out. Kevin rk said, Have some people guard the surrounding area, expand the scope, be more careful, and find the exit. Edward, crack the passwords. Yoshua and Edward immediately responded, Yes! Kevin rk hurriedly followed Charlotte Lane. Dark Radiance and the Hundred Demons Pavilion members hade in, and the fighting gradually stopped. Charlotte Lane went to find Liam Davis and the Housemaster. This was the tinum Burke Family, and the secret room was right here, but these two had not managed to escape. Because when Alice arrived, both of them felt they had someone to rely on.
But they didnt expect that Alice wouldnt have time to take care of them. As soon as Alice reached the entrance of the reception room, Charlotte Lane asked James Cooper to deal with the two of them. So James Cooper and a Hall Master came out of the reception room and took care of them first. The Housemaster seemed to have suffered severe injuries, barely able to speak coherently anymore. Compared to him, Liam Davis was much better. Even though his face was bruised and his clothes were covered in footprints, he still seemed to be able to move around with some difficulty. Charlotte Lane found them and looked at the Housemaster before turning to Liam Davis, asking, Whats the password for the secret room? Liam Davis looked at her and chuckled before whispering hoarsely, Daisy Zane, you want to know, dont you? Well, I wont tell you. The color in Charlotte Lanes eyes deepened as she grabbed Liam Daviss throat and pressed him down onto the ground. Liam Daviss breathing suddenly became difficult, his chest heaving and one leg constantly kicking the ground. His bloodshot eyes red at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane squatted beside him, her hand gradually increasing the pressure, The password, and where does it lead? I, wont, wont say it. Kevin rk was watching the Housemaster nearby, thinking that since he couldnt speak clearly, he could try to have him write it down, but he found that the Housemasters mind wasnt clear, which was why he couldnt speak coherently. This path wouldnt work, so he looked at Charlotte Lane, Little girl, spare some breath. Charlotte Lane let go of her hand.
Liam Davisy on the ground as if he was dead, then after a few seconds, he suddenly took a deep breath like he had resurrected. Will you say it? Charlotte Lane asked again. Liam Davis took a moment to recover, then heughed and said hoarsely, I wont say it even if I die! Hahaha! No one should think that they can get away with it! I wont, wont tell you. Chapter 541: 484: It Has Always Been You Chapter 541: Chapter 484: It Has Always Been You Liam Davissughter sounded like annoying, noisy interference in her ears. Charlotte Lane couldnt stand it anymore, she got up and kicked him in the leg. Liam Davis immediately stoppedughing, rolled on the ground, and couldnt get up right away. Kevin rk gripped Charlottes hand, Take a break. Charlotte Lane stepped back and Kevin rk crouched down. Liam Davis moved his eyes to Kevin rk as if he realized something. He muttered, Height 190cm, slim waist, long legsfair skin, good-looking, unique temperament. From a wealthy familyand sessful career. Nice voice, even sings Peking Opera. Although his voice was barely audible, Kevin rk listened carefully. He raised his eyebrows in confusion. Kevin, its you, isnt it? Liam Davis said with his eyes closed. I do fit the description. Whats the matter? Kevin rks deliberately slowed down his speech. Two years ago, Daisy Zane told me her criteria for a partner. Liam Davis suddenly coughed twice. Its always been you. Kevin rks eyshes fluttered a bit.
They got together in the spring ofst year. Two years ago Kevin rk suddenly turned his head to look at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane met his gaze, looking at the smile spreading in his eyes. She hesitated, then turned away and walked out. Little girl Charlotte Lane didnt hear him and walked faster. Kevin watched her retreating figure and chuckled lightly. Charlotte Lane went to watch the family getting raided, looking for the tinum Burke Family. The Burke family members were being taken away in groups. Just as she reached the entrance of the reception room, she saw Amelia Miles being helped out of the side hall. Amelia Miles was supported and walked without any significant issues. Some time had passed, and she seemed to be recovering a little. The wounds had been treated simply. Many parts of her body had been cut by debris, and her clothes were stained with blood. But she had changed into clean clothes now, her broken arm had been treated, wrapped in gauze, and was hanging around her neck. She had applied some medicine to her facial wounds as well. However, the wound on her face was too deep and long, and applying medicine could only stop the bleeding. Her face was swollen, with one side of her face, her nose, mouth, and eyes all deformed. The other half of her face was slightly better, but there was a noticeable red handprint and her mouth corner was split open. Amelia Miles had been walking listlessly, but suddenly saw Charlotte Lane, and her neck stiffened in an instant.
Her face looked unrecognizable and distorted, filled with hatred. Daisy Zane! Amelia Miles voice was hoarse and muffled. Because of the pain in her face and mouth corner, she couldnt speak clearly. Charlotte Lane and Silver Pce stopped in their tracks.
Amelia struggled to walk towards Charlotte, but was stopped by the hand on her shoulder: Daisy Zane! You will have a miserable death! You will have a miserable death! I curse you to have a lifetime of troubles! Youll never be satisfied! Charlotte Lane listened to her curses and approached Amelia slowly. Those who were supporting Amelia were Hundred Demons Pavilion members; they bowed slightly as Charlotte came near. Daisy Zane! You will go to hell! All your sins will be repaid by the people around you. Your mother and grandmother are both whores! They deserve to die! None of you will have a good lifearrrggh!!!!! Charlotte Lanes hand covered Amelias mouth, pressing her mouth with the base of her thumb and her big thumb on her face wound. She not only pressed on it but also used her thumbnail to open the wound that had stopped bleeding. Amelia Miles was unable to speak with her mouth covered, only making faint sounds. Her whole body was in convulsions from the pain. Fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead in an instant. Amelia Miles, I dont know if Ill get my retribution. Charlotte Lane said softly, But this is your retribution. Do you dare to think about what youve done before? Amelia Miles looked at her. Charlotte Lane continued, rissa Mason did it because you incited her. Olivia Chester took the me for you. Your cousins family also involved your push from behind. And you framed Daisy Zane together with Bonnie Maxwell. You have blood on your hands, right? How old were you then? You asked your uncle for help. At this point, William Lane came to look for her and caught sight of this scene.
Charlotte Lane was ruthless, resolute, fierce, cold-blooded, and even a little crazy. He had never seen her like this before. It was a stark contrast to the mischievous and cute sister he remembered. Charlotte Lane pressed harder on Amelias wound, causing her eyes to roll in pain: Every time, someone takes the disaster for you. This time? Who do you want to take it for you? Who can take it for you? Youre the real disaster, whoever encounters you will be unlucky. Amelia Miles couldnt even stand, relying entirely on the people by her side to support her. This wound will slowly be infected and rot, Charlotte Lane looked at her wound and continued, The rotting area will gradually expand, reaching your mouth, your nose, your eyes. Youll see your own face with rotten flesh hanging off your bones fun, huh? Amelia Miles suddenly struggled. Like a fish dropped into boiling oil, she jerked violently yet quickly wilted again. When Charlotte Lane saw her like this, she let go of her, shaking off the blood on her hands and let someone take her away. She didnt look at Amelia Miles again, but lowered her head, using the gauze she carried on her body to wipe the blood from her hands. It wasnt until William Lane handed her a pack of wet wipes. She took them, lightening her movements as she wiped the blood from her hands. Brother.
Hm? Did you see it? Charlotte Lane asked. William Lane knew she was talking about the incident just now, and he replied, Yes. After his response, the two fell silent for a moment. After a while, Charlotte Lane looked at him. The determination in her eyes hadnt dissipated, and with a broken-hearted, past-breaking feeling, she said softly, I may not be able to go back to how I was before. William Lane looked at her emotionless face and paused before saying, But youll always be Grandfathers most beloved granddaughter, our parents beloved daughter, and my favorite sister. Also, Amelie Quentins best sister. Hearing his words, the emotions in Charlotte Lanes eyes gradually dissipated, and she raised a corner of her mouth, Am I not your best sister? Seeing her finally smile, William Lane alsoughed, All of you are my best sisters. So Young Master Lane is actually a master of bncing, Charlotte Lane leaned against the wall. Not bad, Im striving to bnce. After saying that, William Lane looked at the silver pce lying down at her feet, Howe it listens to you so much? Dont you already have an answer in your heart? Charlotte Lane asked back. William Lane looked at her, his entire being seemingly petrified. To guess was one thing, to be right was another.
The fact that Silver Pce followed her like this indeed made him suspicious. Moreover her martial prowess was very high and she coordinated well with Yoshua and Edward. With just one look, they knew what to do next. The most important point was after Harton rks visit to the Mountain Sea Continent. The pursuit of Martin Hanzel had no follow-up. His sister was Martin Hanzel. The first assassin under the Dark Radiance Banner. Faking death, being sentenced and hunted down Chapter 542: 485: Have a Fight Chapter 542: Chapter 485: Have a Fight Oh my, who is this handsome guy? After Logan and his group had finished dealing with the matter at hand, they came over to meet L Campbell. Damian Brown said, Big Boss. James Collins grinned and said, Sister. Logan slung his arm around L Campbells neck and noticed a red mark on her throat. He gently touched it to make sure it wasnt anything serious before turning his attention to William Lane, Handsome man, how should we address you? Looking at the outfits of the three men in front of him, William Lane quickly guessed their identities. When they were in Imperial Capital, Amelie Quentin had already informed him. Her sister was the Pavilion Master of Hundred Demons Pavilion. The one in Mountain Sea Continent. The members of Hundred Demons Pavilion also wore ckbat uniforms, quite simr to each other. Only the symbols on their arms were colored differently to denote their individual identities. The mark for Logans group was red.
That of Samuel Grays was grey. Damian Browns was yellow. My brother. L Campbell added immediately after, My biological brother. Young Master Lane. Logan and his group had already gossiped with Holt Lawrence about L Campbells background, Big Boss, your brother is so handsome. Oh my! I suddenly feel like getting a male partner wouldnt be such a bad idea. William Lane raised an eyebrow at that. L Campbell removed Logans hand from her shoulder, Trying to be my sister-inw? Too bad, my brother already has someone he likes. Such a pity, Logan said, Its the first time in my life Ive had feelings for a man. L Campbell couldnt be bothered to respond. William Lane, with a smile, extended his hand towards Logan and introduced himself politely, William Lane. Logan shook his hand and said, Logan. Damian Brown also shook his hand and introduced himself. James Collins not only introduced himself but also added enthusiastically, Brother! Biological Brother! Soon after they finished their introductions, Kevin rk arrived. The moment Logan saw him, the smile on his face instantly vanished. Did you find out anything? L Campbell asked. No. He only knows one lock password. Kevin rk nced over the group of people, then his eyes settled on L Campbell, The other two passwords were incorrect. Kevin rk had hypnotized Liam Davis and extracted three passwords from him. He immediately sent them to Edward Darkmoon. But only one password was correct. He doesnt know where the secret room ultimately leads to either, Kevin rk answered another question L Campbell wanted to ask.
The housemaster is keeping even Davis on a tight leash, James Collinsmented. Can you me him? Damian Brown squatted down on the steps, resting his cheek on his hand, He killed his fiances entire family. Who can guarantee that he wont betray the housemaster in the future? Wheres the housemaster now? L Campbell inquired. Kevin rk replied, Something really has gone wrong with his head. I couldnt get anything out of him even with hypnosis.
I just went to see him. Who hit him so hard? William Lane asked. During the struggle, he tripped and hit his head on the steps, Kevin rk informed, having just received the report from James Cooper. The group fell into a stunned silence. Sowhat do we do now? James Collins asked while rubbing Damian Browns head. As L Campbell watched his movements, she felt a lump in her throat. Logan too, suddenly narrowed his eyes. As the others remained silent, James Collins turned to L Campbell, waiting for her to speak. However, it was Kevin rk who broke the silence first, Alice Eugene has been killed Actually, whether we enter the secret room or find the exit isnt really of much importance. After he finished speaking, he looked towards L Campbell as if asking, Am I right? L Campbell met his gaze, looking at the wicked red at the corner of his eyes. She lightly nodded in agreement. William Lane: Logan just dramatically rolled his eyes. Ignoring them, Kevin rk proposed, How about we head back now?
L Campbell agreed. Edward Darkmoon and the Hundred Demons Pavilion left some people behind to deal with the scene. The ones who followed Kevin rk and the people who came looking for Kevin rk all withdrew and were reced by new guards. The ones who crack the password locks continued doing so, while others conducted a wide-ranging search for the exits. Once everything was arranged, L Campbell, Kevin rk, and the rest of the group made their way back. William Lane stayed behind, but as Kevin rk was walking out of tinum Burke Family territory, William Lane stopped him. What? William Lane asked, When are you free? Kevin rk looked at him. Lets have a duel. Kevin rk: ? Should duels be scheduled so openly these days? This time, William Lane silently stared at him, not saying anything.
Kevin rk observed him for a bit, figuring that it probably had something to do with his young sister, Martin Hanzels identity being revealed, I wont have time in the next couple of days. How about we do itter? Seeing that Kevin rk had agreed, William Lane turned around and left. As Kevin rk watched his retreating figure, he thought to himself, this resolute departure was undoubtedly a trait of the siblings. On the way back, L Campbell spoke little. Most of the conversation was Kevin rk monologuing. He mentioned that he had been ambushed and ended up in the Ghost Forest. The forest was covered in a dense fog and filled with towering trees that left no room for light to prate. There was absolutely no signal. Not to mention, he had gotten lost in the forest for a while. Although he was talking about his experience in a casual manner, L Campbell knew how difficult it was fighting and finding a way out in that ce. No one ever entered the mountain forest in normal times, as it was believed that once entered, there was no way out. No wonder it was called the Ghost Forest. A one-way path, filled with wandering spirits. Thankfully, Kevin rk and his squad had a wealth of experience in the wild.
Otherwise, even if there wasnt anyone blocking their way, they wouldve found it difficult to leave the forest, let alone finding the exit while fighting enemies. As they were finding their way out, they encountered Allonzo Hobson, who hade searching for them. Because of the presence of the Silver Pce, their exit was rtively quick. After exiting the Ghost Forest, as soon as Kevin rk got signal on his cell phone, he immediately contacted L Campbell, calling her and sending her a text message. By that time, L Campbell had already reached the tinum Burke Family territory. As she was on a mission, her phone was set to vibrate by habit. Therefore, she hadnt heard it. Subsequently, Kevin rk directly contacted Hugo rk. Hugo rk informed him that L Campbell and their crew had gone to the tinum Burke Family territory. Thats why Kevin rk and his group directly headed to the tinum Burke Family territory. Chapter 543: 486: Return to Dark Radiance Chapter 543: Chapter 486: Return to Dark Radiance Charlotte Lane didnt talk much on the way, and when they arrived at Dark Radiance, Hugo rk and Amelie Quentin were waiting outside for them. They had received the message on the way back. But Amelie Quentin still insisted on waiting outside for them. Upon seeing Charlotte Lane getting out of the car, she immediately ran to hug her. However, Charlotte stopped her with a hand on her shoulder: Dont hug me, Im dirty. Im fine. Amelie Quentin looked her up and down, saw nothing wrong, and stood beside her. Why arent you waiting inside when its so hot outside? Charlotte Lane asked. Its even more sweaty inside, Amelie Quentin said in a low voice. My brother is staying there to finish up and will be backter, Charlotte Lane said. Amelie Quentin nodded. As the group walked to the living room, they chatted. Arriving at the living room, Charlotte Lane didnt sit down: Im going to catch up on sleep.
Amelie Quentin said, Do you want to eat something first? Ill eat after I wake up. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk, You go take a shower, thene down to eat. Alright. Kevin rk went upstairs with her. Charlotte Lane took a shower in the bedroom. Kevin rk went to the room next door. When he came back after taking a shower, Charlotte Lane had already finished her shower and was sitting by the bed, mechanically wiping her hair. Kevin rk held a hairdryer in his hand and walked over to her. Charlotte Lane had been looking down, but after seeing Kevin rks legs, she looked up at him. His eyes grew even redder from the steam of the shower. When I went to the next room just now, Amelie Quentin asked Hugo to pass me a message, Kevin rk said as he plugged in the hairdryer. Charlotte Lane didnt speak, waiting for him to continue. She said if I disappear again, she will find someone to finish me off, Kevin rk said slowly. Charlotte Lane raised the corner of her mouth, Before finishing you off, she would have to find you first. So I couldnt discern the good and bad of this sentence for a while. After saying that, Kevin rk turned on the hairdryer to dry her hair. But Charlotte Lane grasped his hand, turning off the hairdryer. Whats wrong? Kevin rk asked. Without a word, Charlotte Lane hugged his waist and put her head against him. Kevin rk put the hairdryer aside, hugged her, and stroked her head: I made my little girl worry. Charlotte Lane didnt speak, only holding him tighter.
Little girl, dont worry about me. Kevin rk said softly, I know youre waiting for me, so Ille back safely. Kevin rk Hmm, Im here. Charlotte Lane fell silent for a while before saying, The people who intercepted you must have had signal-blocking and interfering devices on them. I couldnt locate you.
Mhm, Kevin rk replied. I wanted toe find you, but Ryan Easton was attacked. I know. Xavier Dominic told me. Kevin rk stroked her head, feeling her unease but also how she was trying to shift her emotions by talking, so he went on, Youve had a tough time, madam. How did you know that person was Alice Eugene? Charlotte Lane abruptly changed the subject. Her figure looks simr to the one I saw in Red Cliff Vige, Kevin rk said, I also heard someone call her Lady Alice. So its all Edward Kirstens doing, Charlotte Lane muttered. Kevin rk touched her earlobe, So, we didnte here for nothing. Not only did we solve Amelia Miles and Liam Daviss issues, but we also took care of Alice Eugene, right? Unexpected gains. Charlotte Lane buried her face in his chest, rubbing her eyes after a moment and then responding. She was quiet for a while before saying, Kevin rk Can you promise not to lose contact again? Kevin rk looked down at the top of her head. Although the little girl had no emotional fluctuations and was calm, he could clearly feel her fear. He promised, Okay. The room was air-conditioned, and Charlotte Lanes hair was dry. Dried rather quickly. The two embraced each other in the room for a while before Charlotte Lane asked Harton rk to go downstairs for dinner.
Harton took her with him. The two ate something together. After eating, they went upstairs and Charlotte Lane applied some medicine to Hartons wounds. Most were minor injuries, either from a fight or from scratches in the woods. There were ces where the skin was slightly broken and others where there were bruises. By the time she finished applying the medicine, her hair was already dry. So they went straight to bed. The two slept from morning until past 9 PM. Charlotte Lanes hand constantly touched the scar on Hartons rib, as if she could only feel at ease by touching him. Past 9 PM, Harton went downstairs and brought dinner to the upper floor. After Charlotte Lane finished eating, she went to visit Silver Pce. She spent more than an hour with Silver Pce and had no ns to return until Harton came to find her. After they returned to the room, he sent a message to Charles Amos and went back to sleep. This sleepsted until the next day.
By the time she woke up, William Lane and the others had returned, and James Collins hade over as well. The password lock on the tinum Burke familys secret chamber was opened. William Lane personally led people into the secret chamber. Only bloodstains were found in the secret chamber, and no other people were found. Following the bloodstains, they cracked another code, then followed the chamber to the sewer. The sewers had two directions: north and south. People were sent in both directions. They also sent people to search on the ground but found no one. There was a shallowyer of sewage in the sewer, dark and smelly. They turned on their lights but found no trace of blood. It was possible the ces tainted with blood had been cleaned up. There were so many passages above the sewer, and quite a few sewer wells in remote areas. The geographical location of the tinum Burke family was remote, let alone the surrounding areas. This secret chamber was designed for escape, so the arrangements above the sewer were quite appropriate. ces with manhole covers either had no surveince, or the surveince was fake. Temporarily unable to determine where they left from or where they had gone.
When Charlotte Lane went downstairs, William Lane was taking a bath upstairs. Then, Olivia Laneined to Charlotte Lane: Sister, my brother smells now. So thats why you have a disgusted look on your face? Not really. Olivia Lane pointed at James Collins and said, He! He called me sister when he came in. Andhis hair is rainbow-colored! Rainbow hair looks so good. James Collins, in an indecent sitting position on the single sofa, touched his hair, Isnt it nice? Sister, dont you like it? Olivia Lane crossed her arms and looked at James Collins. James Collins bent his peach blossom eyes, waiting for Charlotte Lanes response. Charlotte Lane had already seen his rainbow hair yesterday, but she had no mood to admire it yesterday, and todayshe couldnt manage to admire it either. Damian Brown didnt beat you up? Upon mentioning Damian Brown, James Collins suddenly sat upright, his facial expression stiffening for a moment: Sister, you, how do you know about it? Olivia Lane immediately pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip. Although she didnt know Damian Brown, it didnt stop her from gossiping. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrow but didnt say anything. Yes, she started it first. James Collins suddenly acted like an elementary school student tattletelling, She kissed me first, slept with me. The hickey on my neck was her doing! Chapter 544: 487: Inside Traitor Chapter 544: Chapter 487: Inside Traitor The whole living room suddenly went quiet. Olivia Lane was also stunned for a moment, and then her eyes started to sparkle. The soul of gossip was burning. Hugo rk watched her little expression, and his eyebrows moved slightly. Arthur North saw James Collinss obviously wanting to say more expression, and got up and left. Hugo rk followed closely behind. Sister, dont you believe me? James Collins asked. Charlotte Lane did not speak. Damian Brown is indeed quite cool sometimes. Sister, its true. James Collins said, That day she got drunk, and she forced me. Olivia Lanes eyes widened. This sounded like a victims tone. And then the next day, after waking up, she didnt admit it. James Collins said angrily.
Thats so pathetic. Olivia Lane muttered under her breath. She even said she hadnt touched a man in a long time and was a bit lonely. James Collinsined, She asked me to forget it and not worry about it. Charlotte Lane: What happened then? Olivia Lane asked curiously. To keep her from feeling lonely and finding someone else, I moved in with her and even shared the same bed. James Collins said proudly, She is now my girlfriend. Olivia Lanes mouth twitched slightly. Charlotte Lane rubbed her eyebrows. Sister, am I awesome or not? James Collins asked. Charlotte Lane said softly, Actually you dont have to tell me these details. Its fine. Youre not an outsider. James Collins slumped back, I was going to tell you anyway. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. Sister, we didnt say no to rtionships within the organization, right? No. Charlotte Lane said, Its not bad. This way, I can save some money. James Collins: There are guest rooms on the fourth floor. Charlotte Lane looked at him and said, Either go take a bath or go straight to rest. Dont stay here. Alright. After William Lane and the others returned, they also took a day off. At dinner time, everyone ate together in the restaurant.
As they were about to finish eating, Xavier Dominic asked a question: Brook Sister, I am curious about something. Hmm? Who are Alvin Phantom and Roy Ryder? Xavier Dominic asked, Ive met all of them, and Im a little curious. This is something I can be curious about, right? Yes. Charlotte Lane said calmly, Alvin Phantom is Holt Lawrence, and Roy Ryder is Robinson Scott.
Xavier Dominic choked on his wine and coughed for a while. Olivia Lane looked at him for a moment, handed him two tissues, and smiled, Brother Xavier, how does it feel to eat your own gossip? Xavier Dominic coughed for a moment: Its, its good. So the Darknight Alliance is subordinate to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Charlotte Lane said, The Darknight Alliance is Robinson Scotts own. Only Robinson Scott is a member of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. I see. Charlotte Lane nodded. Compared to Robinson Scott being Roy Ryder, everyone was more surprised that Holt Lawrence was Alvin Phantom. Sothe Celestial Pivot The Celestial Pivot is under the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Charlotte Lane said. So Holt Lawrence hid so well. Xavier Dominic said, I was wondering why there were Alvin Phantoms people in Truro City, so Alvin Phantom is actually domestic. Yes. Brother Xavier, do you suddenly feel like youve married up? Olivia Lane joked. Ive always been marrying up. Xavier Dominic finished and looked at Charlotte Lane, then said something very bold: Brook Sister, I remember when you were little you also called me Brother Xavier
His words were cut short, trailing off mid-sentence. Arthur, Charlotte, and Williams gaze had left him feeling like hed been stabbed. Especially Arthurs stare, he felt like his peaceful resting ce had already been chosen. Feeling the weight of three of them altogether, he felt as if his entire body had been hit by a softening Palm, turning weak. The other three were also looking at him and admiring his courage. James gave him a thumbs up: Youre really something. Allonzo forced a smile, raised his sped hands above his head, and pleaded for mercy from the others. After a few casual conversations, they brought up the matter of Arthur being intercepted. Hugo said, Very few people know about Third Uncleing to Mountain Sea Continent. No matter how good Edward Kirsten is, he couldnt have predicted Third Uncleing to Mountain Sea Continent and prepared in advance. Moreover, it was a preparation that started almost a month ago, Allonzo Hobson said. The X Hacker Alliance has been established for nearly a month. In the morning, Adrian Roberts and others interrogated a few people, saying the alliance was specifically founded to target Cloud Easton. Initially, they made quite a scene, ostensibly testing the hackers abilities and training. As a result, they carried out several big operations. To confuse the enemy, they pointed the finger at Celestial Pivot, iming they wanted to challenge Celestial Pivot. Their actual target was Cloud Easton.
And their deployment, with so many people and such strong targeting, is definitely not a recent preparation, William Lane said. So we have a rat in our midst, Allonzo Hobson drawled, but with an edge to his voice. Who knew about my sister and her grouping here? James asked while eating a crab leg. There was a brief silence among them. Because no one outside the family knew. Even when Arthur first went to Ezekiel Santiago to ask for leave, he said it was to go to D Continent and didnt tell the Dean about going to Mountain Sea Continent. Its not that he didnt trust the Dean, but that the normal process for asking for leave would have been visible to others. Its the others he didnt trust. So from the first time his leave was not approved, he said he was taking Nicholson Amos to D Continent for some matters. James could tell by the look on their faces that this would not be a simple matter, so he didnt ask further. At home very few people knew about it, Amelie Quentin suddenly whispered. Hugo replied, Yeah. And this person should also know when you guys wanted toe the first time, William Lane said. ording to the timeline, it was right after your leave from the research institute was not approved, and they began preparing.
They didnte the first time, but they had toe eventually. The time difference gave the enemy an opportunity. James switched to another crab leg. At least two messages were sent by this person. And the timing was just too coincidental, giving the enemy a chance. It was indeed a coincidence, but who would have thought there would be a problem at home that would expose their whereabouts? After a quiet moment, Arthur suddenly said, Everyone here is a suspect. William Lane, Hugo, and Allonzo Hobson: Not me, James said. I didnt know you guys wereing. My sister called me over two days ago. Allonzo looked at Arthur and paused before saying, Youre the biggest suspect! You want Brook Sister to worry about you, and then let Brook Sister take the people to destroy the tinum Burke Family. You just want to hide and take it easy, you did it on purpose. This is something Arthur could do, William Lane nodded in agreement. Hugo secretly agreed in his heart but didnt dare to speak out for fear of retaliation. You three just roll away, Arthur said with augh and a rebuke. Still caught in the crossfire, Hugo: It was you who started it, Allonzo said. William Lane added, Which time wasnt it you who started it. Charlotte listened to them talking but never said a word. rk family and Lane Familys servants, housekeepers, and gardeners have all been carefully screened and are trustworthy, and very few people knew about this. Aside from the servants, even the housekeeper in Arthurs yard didnt know he hade to Mountain Sea Continent. As for the Lane Family, it seemed that only Aunt Cruz knew about it. Of course, they cannot rule out the possibility of other hidden schemes, although the chances are slim. But the only things that could be thought of on the surface were those. Its just that no one wants to suspect, nor wants to rupture the situation, maintaining this stalemate for the time being. Chapter 545: 488: Meddling in Your Relationship Chapter 545: Chapter 488: Meddling in Your Rtionship After dinner, Charlotte Lane went to see Silver Pce again. Arthur North and Hugo rk discussed some matters, but as soon as they were finished, they couldnt find her. They asked Thomas Firway and found out she went to see Silver Pce. When Arthur found her, Charlotte was sitting on the ground cross-legged, hugging Silver Pce and staring nkly. Charlotte didnt react to the sound of his footsteps, but Silver Pce looked up at him warily. Arthur North interpreted the unfriendly meaning from Silver Pces eyes, but it only looked at him without making any aggressive moves. Anyway, this wolf In all these years with Dark Radiance, he had grown ustomed to its attitude towards him. Arthur ignored its re, walked behind Charlotte, and patted her head: What are you thinking about? The ground is cold. Charlottes eyshes trembled slightly, Its not cold. Since she didnt get up, Arthur crouched down, turned Silver Pces head to the side, and kissed Charlottes cheek, Whats on your mind? Im thinking about how to convince you to let me sleep with Silver Pce tonight. Charlotte looked at him and said softly.
No way. Arthur North rejected her very firmly, No convincing will work. Stingy. Charlotte said, Its just a wolf. But its a male. Arthur held her chin, pinched her face, and said fiercely, Its already very generous of me to let you hug it. After saying that, Arthur stood up and pulled her up, Alright, lets go. Silver Pce suddenly stood up, stumbled a bit, and looked even more ferocious at Arthur. Arthur red back at it, then took Charlottes hand and left. They walked about ten meters before slowing down. Third Uncle Shut up. Charlotteughed out loud. Arthur gently squeezed her hand: And youre stillughing. Charlotte poked his side with her other hand: Are all men in their thirties like this? Arthur suddenly stopped, let go of her hand, and looked at her sideways. He felt that the little girl was very polite for not adding the word old in front of man. Charlotte looked at Arthur. The warm yellow streetmp behind him cast both light and shadows on him. There was a hint of unspecified danger in the yful depths of his eyes, as if he melded into the darkness of night. Little girl Charlotte raised her eyebrows, waiting for the next sentence.
But after waiting for a while, Arthur suddenly picked her up and let her sit on a nearby railing. He stood between her legs, holding her around the waist, and looked up at her slightly, Little girl, whats our rtionship? Charlotte looked down at him, pondering, and then said, Uncle Before she could say nephew, Arthur interrupted her: Were husband and wife.
Oh. Charlotte said softly. Arthurs other hand at the back of her neck pulled her down, kissed her lips, and released her, So theres no need to pretend in front of me. You can tell me if youre not happy or have any problems. He knew that the little girl could either be simply yful or trying to shift her emotions so as not to affect the people around her, so she could be particrly nasty and irritating when she spoke. Charlotte nced at him, and after a while, she said, I just said it. Arthur immediately replied, Sleeping with Silver Pce is not negotiable, dont mention it. Charlotte: Everyones pursuit and beliefs are different, Kevin rk sped her hand, Everyone has their own choices which we cant really change. For him, thats his life, and we can only ept his choices. After listening, Charlotte Lane remained silent for a while before saying, I dont want to doubt him. Little girl, like I said, Kevin rk exined, every one of us is under suspicion. You dont need to feel guilty about doubting anyone. Charlotte said nothing. Stop burdening yourself with all this. Charlotte remained silent for a moment before giving a response.
That evening, Charlotte went to bedte, so she also woke upte the next day. After washing up, she came downstairs to see Hugo rk and Amelie Quentin ying Go in the living room. She watched Amelie Quentin take back her move while Hugo pretended not to notice. Sister, youre awake? Mm. Charlotte took a nce around the living room and asked, Where is everybody else? Some went on missions, others went to the Martial Arts Arena for training. Amelie took away one of Hugos pieces, reced it with her own, winning the game, then stood up and said, Third Uncle and Brother went to the Meeting Room. Sister, theres porridge in the kitchen. Its delicious. Amelie apanied Charlotte to the restaurant and ate another half bowl with her. After their meal, Charlotte and Amelie yed for a while before going to look for Kevin and the others. When she reached the entrance of the Meeting Room, she knocked on the door twice before opening it. Thats when she saw Kevin rk and William Lane embracing each other. Kevin had one hand pressed against Williams chest while William gripped Kevins shirt tightly with his other hand. Kevins other hand was holding the wrist of the hand gripping his shirt. The two men were very close. And the Meeting Room was a total mess.
Chairs were overturned and toppled, the conference table was askew, and several paintings had fallen from the walls. They had probably been fighting for a while. Neither of them appeared injured as they didnt go all out, but the Meeting Room was in a sorry state. When they heard the door opening, they both looked towards it, then froze as they saw Charlotte standing there. Charlotte hesitated for a few seconds, then took a step back, saying as she prepared to close the door, Sorry for interrupting, you two can continue. Kevin rk and William Lane both gave each other a push, then walked towards the door. Little Girl. Charlotte. The two of them pulled open the closed door and brought Charlotte, who was still standing outside, into the Meeting Room. The door was closed again. The three of them stood in the room, falling into a strange silence. After a while, Charlotte was the first to speak, saying softly, Its my fault for interfering in your rtionship. William Lane:
Kevin gently flicked her forehead, Stop talking nonsense. Charlotte raised her eyebrows, walked into the Meeting Room, straightened a chair, sat down, and said, Are you done fighting? Do you need me to mediate? How do you n to mediate? Kevin asked with interest. You guys can fight again. William Lane and Kevin rk bothughed. Charlotte didnt want to get involved in their affairs. She guessed it might be because of her, but with the level of their fights, she didnt think it necessary to interfere. She said, I have to return to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. You guys should settle your issues before Ie back. Ill take you there, Kevin offered. No need, James Collins is driving, just let him drop me off on his way. Chapter 546: 489: Driving People Mad Chapter 546: Chapter 489: Driving People Mad My sister and the others havente out yet? James Collins and Charlotte Lane returned together to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. When they arrived at the Hundred Demons Pavilion, Charlotte Lane and Luke went to the rooftop to discuss matters and did note out for a long time. No, Damian Brown said, it must be something important. What could be so important that it takes so long to discuss? James Collins murmured. I dont know. Be quiet. James Collins: Oh. The office on the rooftop. Charlotte Lane sat on the table, and Luke sat in a chair more than three meters away from her. Charlotte Lane appeared calm, but Lukes brows remained furrowed. The two were quiet for a while before Luke said, Big Boss, I still hope you can reconsider. Charlotte Lane made an affirmative sound.
Luke could sense her perfunctory response, but he did not dare to say more. Hows the girl? Charlotte Lane suddenly asked. Her mental state is still not very good. She often isnt very conscious, Luke said. The psychologist has been with her all the time. Some time ago, the Hundred Demons Pavilion had a confrontation with Edward Kirstens people. Luke rarely went on missions to the M Continent, but when he did, he happened to sh with Alice Eugene. At that time, Luke hadpleted his mission and was preparing to return to the Mountain Sea Continent with the cargo when he encountered a convoy halfway there. There were many forces in that area, so it wasnt surprising to encounter people, organizations, or alliances. If neither side wanted to fight, they would both pass by without incident. If they wanted to fight, they would have a skirmish. That was just the way of life. It was just a convoy carrying seemingly nothing of value, so Luke didnt pay much attention to it. However they didnt make a move first, but the other party began to attack. It seemed like a spontaneous decision, wanting to intercept their cargo. Thus, the two sides quickly started fighting. The other party knew that they were from the Hundred Demons Pavilion, but they didnt know who the other party was. Luke didnt care who they were either. He just wanted to finish the battle quickly and return home. But during the fight, a girl suddenly ran down from the other partys car and rushed into the battle scene, clutching her head and running around while screaming. Luke felt that the girls scream at one point was louder than the sound of gunshots. It quickly captured his attention.
He looked over and, upon seeing the girls face, instinctively charged out to bring her back. Just as he reached the girl, he heard someone from the other side shout, Lady Alice, that girl has run away. Soon, a masked woman came over and began fighting him, trying to take the girl away. Although he had never seen Alice before, Luke was all too familiar with her name.
He had nned to take the girl away, but now that Alice wanted to snatch her away, he couldnt let her go even more. The two sides fought, and neither Luke nor Alice gained an upper hand. However, Alices side ran out of firepower, so they had to withdraw. After all, the Hundred Demons Pavilion had cargo in its car, and in terms of firepower, they were far better than Alices side. Some people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion were captured, and some escaped. But because they were carrying cargo and had just experienced a battle, they didnt pursue the fleeing figures, as it would be too easy for an incident to ur on the way. So, Luke brought the girl back with him. The girls mental state was very poor, and whether it was in the car or in the room at the Hundred Demons Pavilion, she kept hiding in corners and screaming. In one day, Luke used up all his patience on her. Then she stopped screaming. However, she sat in the corner hugging her knees, calling out Brother Yabez over and over, transfixed in her gaze. It was like she was practicing. Each Brother Yabez she called out seemed to have subtle differences, as if she was constantly practicing and approaching a certain voice. The next day, Luke found her a psychologist. Within a week, the girl regained her consciousness for a short while.
But her speech was still intermittent. From her illogical words, Luke pieced together some of her story. Someone had locked her up and forced her to continually call out Brother Yabez. Each time she did, the other party would say it wasnt right and ask her to change her tone and call again. So, she practiced over and over. If she resisted, she would be beaten. The doctor did find traces of beatings on her body. Who knew how long this had been going on to drive her insane? After much consideration, Luke finally reported the matter to Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane sat on the table, thinking about the report Luke had given her. After a moment, she asked, Is the resemnce strong? Luke looked at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, The temperament is not simr, but the appearance theres at least a 50-60% resemnce. When I first saw her, I thought I had found a rtive for you. Charlotte Lane did not respond. Big Boss, do you want to meet her? Luke asked.
The girl had been at the Hundred Demons Pavilion for two days before Luke arranged for her to go elsewhere. One reason was for better treatment. The second reason was that she had spent time with Edward Kirsten, and Luke didnt dare trust herpletely; thats why he sent her to another location. He would visit her whenever he had time. Charlotte Lane shook her head, Do your best to treat her. Got it. Have you found any news about her family? Charlotte Lane asked. Not yet, Luke replied. We found some missing persons reports in the M Continent, but none of them were her. Were expanding the search range. Charlotte Lane nodded. Luke said, Shes very quiet when shes conscious now, and she doesnt say anything when we ask her questions, so its hard to find her family. Charlotte Lane was quiet for a while before saying, Im a bit worried that there may be more than one victim like this. Luke remained silent. Because the possibility was enormous.
This girl was targeted because she looked like her. So, Edward Kirsten forced her to mimic her voice. Up to the point of driving her insane. If there were others with simr personality, voice or appearance to hers, then the number of victims would be countless. She even began to suspect- Edward Kirsten might have intentionally driven the girl mad and then had Alice Eugene send her to her in order to pressure her. After all, Alice started the confrontation. Losing the battle was uneconomical and not to his advantage. It was hard for her not to think more about it. But Edward Kirsten shouldnt know about her connection to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. But he might know Because there was an informant in his home. She had never mentioned the Hundred Demons Pavilion at home, but James Collins, Robinson Scott, Gael Easton, and others often visited her home. After all, they were all close to each other, and their conversations were casual. Its quite possible that someone mentioned the Hundred Demons Pavilion inadvertently, and someone else overheard it. Edward Kirsten then sent the girl to the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Charlotte Lane pressed her temples with her hands, deep in thought. Edward Kirsten was always hiding in the shadows. He had thousands of ways to escape and tens of thousands of ces to hide. He didnt even have to show his face to infiltrate her circle without making a sound. His enemies lurked in secret, enjoying various advantages and knowing her very well, knowing how to deal with her. Charlotte Lane clicked her tongue softly, cursing, I used to think he was just crazy, but now hes definitely a pervert. Chapter 547 - 490: Trouble in the Hotel Chapter 547: Chapter 490: Trouble in the Hotel Things in the Mountain Sea Continent were mostly settled. Imperial Capital still had some matters to attend to, so William Lane, Hugo rk, and Olivia Lane returned first. Due to epting a task from Hundred Demons Pavilion, Kevin rk and L Campbell would return a few dayster. Allonzo Hobson originally nned to return with William Lane and his party, but then Robinson Scott arrived at the Mountain Sea Continent, so he went with Robinson Scott to visit the Scott Family. Kevin rk apanied L Campbell to the Hundred Demons Pavilion and nned to go with her to M Continent in the afternoon, then carry out the task together in the evening. The two of them arrived after William Lane and the others left yesterday, and they stayed the night here. Early in the morning, while L Campbell was still asleep, Kevin rk and Luke took a stroll around the Hundred Demons Pavilion. When they returned, L Campbell was already having breakfast in the restaurant. Youre awake? Kevin rk walked over to her, touched her hair, and sat down. L Campbell ate while looking at her cell phone. When both of them sat down, she looked up at Kevin rk and said lightly, Tell me, what do you have in mind after surveying the terrain early in the morning? Luke was seated across from them and smiled at L Campbell. To admire my wifes territory, Kevin rk said softly, and n for my future freeloading. Alright, L Campbell lowered her head and ate her porridge, Once I take down Dark Radiance, Ill then marry you. Kevin rk smiled and said, There is no need to fight; its already yours. L Campbell raised her eyebrows. Luke drank his soup while thinking about how he felt a bit redundant. Kevin rk also served himself a bowl of soup and then asked L Campbell, who was engrossed with her cell phone: What are you looking at? Eat first? L Campbell put away her cell phone and started eating. Luke looked at his obedient boss. It was a rare sight, so he took another look. Yesterday, my brother and his party were photographed at the airport when they returned to the Imperial Capital, L Campbell said. Oh? Its not a big deal. Just people are saying my brother and Hugo rk went on a honeymoon and just came back, L Campbell said calmly. Kevin rk had just bitten into a fried egg and suddenly found it difficult to swallow: Isnt the sister there too? Luke said. Yeah, my sister was Photoshopped out, leaving only Hugo rk and my brother, L Campbell replied with a smile, Its already made the hot search list. Its a bit of a pity, Kevin rk suddenly said. Whats a pity? Luke asked. A pity were not in the domestic area right now, L Campbell said, so we cant witness my brother and Hugo rks embarrassment in person. Right, Kevin rk replied with a smile. Boss, thats your brother, Luke reminded her. Has Logan ever stoppedughing at you? L Campbell countered. Luke: She didnt just asionallyugh at him; she was the source of all the jokes. In the afternoon, Kevin rk and L Campbell went to M Continent. Both of them were low-key, like a couple on vacation, and checked into a hotel. At 10 PM, the two quietly left the hotel for a moment. Before midnight, the two stealthily returned to the hotel. In their room, L Campbell removed her coat and said, Its an honor for them to have Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Boss of Dark Radiance take action. Kevin rk looked at her and smiled, suddenly asking, Madam, shall we take a bath together? L Campbell turned to look at him. Kevin rk nced at the word Martin Hanzel tattooed on her body and then looked into her eyes, saying, We havent tried it in a hotel yet. Theres no rush to go back tomorrow, right? Didnt we have our first time in a hotel? That would be considered at home, Kevin rk said, And I remember the Imperial Capital Apocalypse Hotel has always been under your name. Kevin rk paused for a moment and then continued, In that case, I do seem like a freeloader. But we treated it as a hotel experience, L Campbell said ruthlessly, I hadnt recalled my past at that time. Kevin rk fell silent and didnt say anything. L Campbell raised her eyebrows and walked up to him. Getting extremely close, she looked up into his eyes and said, Third Master, actually, you could just say it directly, without going in circles. Kevin rk nced down at her, the look in his eyes gradually growing more ruthless, and danger enveloped her. Even though this little girls expressions and voice hadnt changed at all, he still felt as if his heart had been hooked just a little. He gently swallowed and whispered, Actually, I can do it directly. Saying that, he pinched her chin and kissed her. When Charlotte Lane came out of the restroom, she went straight to bed. Kevin rky beside her, holding her, with one hand gently patting her back. He was still a bit excited and couldnt fall asleep. As soon as they finally fell asleep, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the darkness. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane immediately opened their eyes. There was a gunshot, Charlotte Lane whispered. Mmm, Kevin rk rubbed her head and immediately got out of bed to look out the window. Outside are police cars. The hotel is surrounded. Charlotte Lane also took a look, with so many police cars, there must be something going on at the hotel, and a gunshot had just been fired earlier. The two exchanged a nce. Charlotte Lanes eyes were a bit red as she asked, Continue to sleep? Kevin rk raised his eyebrows and kissed her, Good suggestion. Even though thats what they said, the two still changed their clothes, just in case. Moreover, they didnt change into theirbat clothes, but their everyday outfits. They didnt know what had happened. They didnt know if the situation would involve them, so to avoid drawing attention, it would be better for the two to be low-key. As soon as the two finished changing, the hotel room door was swiped open from the outside. Kevin rk pulled Charlotte Lane behind him. The person outside kicked the door open, shouting, Nobody move, we have guns, while turning on all the lights. Come out! We wont kill you if you cooperate! they said while firing another shot. With a bang, the window facing the entrance was shattered. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane exchanged another nce, and with a single look, the two knew what each other was thinking. While the two intruders entered the cloakroom, two guns were aimed at them. Dont move! Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane cooperated without moving or speaking. The other two, seeing their calm demeanor, were a bit wary so they shouted, Raise your hands! The twoplied and raised their hands, though somewhat perfunctorily. Take out your cell phones! All electronic devices out! The two threw down their cell phones, then turned their pockets inside out for the intruders to see, clean and empty, nothing there at all. The two gunmen were masked, and seeing the couple so calm and cooperative, they were silent for two seconds. But the couple made no other moves. So, the intruders assumed the couple must have been scared silly and didnt give it much thought. The intruders walked behind them, holding guns to their backs, and said, Walk out! The couple walked out. Keep some distance! Dont stick so close together! Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane were directed out of the room by the intruders. Out in the hallway, they encountered two couplesing from the corridor. Like them, someone held guns to their backs as well. However, the other two couples werent asposed, all scared, and some were even dragged by the intruders. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane exchanged another nce. Kevin rks eyes conveyed: Shouldnt we have pretended just now too? Charlotte Lane: Its toote now. This floor should only have been upied by the three couples. They entered two elevators, descending Chapter 548 - 491: Thank You All Chapter 548: Chapter 491: Thank You All The elevator stopped at the sixth floor, and they were led out. As they exited the elevator, Arthur North and Charlotte Lane both nced at the hotelyout map next to the elevator. There was a gym on the sixth floor, guarded by many people. Each person was armed with a gun. They were led into the gym, where they discovered that there were more than twenty people inside. Stay put! Any attempts to escape will be met with deadly force! If you value your lives, behave! Having said that, they closed the gym door and stood guard outside. The other two couples immediately clung to each other, the menforting the women. Charlotte Lane surveyed theyout of the gym while Arthur North eyed the couples. He then turned his gaze to the rest of the people in the gym. There were quite a number of couples, all huddled together. Little Girl. Hmm? Charlotte turned to look at him. Theyre all huddling together, we should Charlotte moved further away from him. Arthur North: . Charlotte looked around the gym once more, then made her way toward several staff members in hotel uniforms. They didnt make a move in their room upstairs because their lives didnt seem to be in immediate danger, so they followed the captors downstairs intending to understand the situation before making a decision. Arthur North apanied her. The two of them sat down next to the staff. Charlotte asked, Whats happening outside? Whats going on? Arent you scared? A female staff member asked. Charlotte responded calmly, I am. Feeling that her responsecked emphasis, she added, Very scared. Arthur North sat in silence. The people around her were watching them. Charlotte didnt say anything else, and asked again, What happened here? We heard that a deception syndicate checked into the hotel this evening. They used apany team-building event as a cover to check in. One of the staff members exined. Charlotte listened. They were numerous, over a hundred of them. There were also around ten young men and women who seemed not to be quite lucid and had to be supported. They imed those people were drunk, but they didnt reek of alcohol, another staff member added, The hotel manager sensed something was off and decided to call the police. After the police arrived, they checked the surveince in the grand hall and recognized two men in duckbill caps who were under their surveince. A staff member continued, The police immediately told the hotel to discreetly evacuate the other guests. They called in for backup. But not many people had left before we were discovered. Charlotte got it. Even if they had the capability to notify all the guests at once, mass evacuation would draw too much attention. So, discreet, gradual evacuation was the sensible course of action, and less likely to create panic. It seemed they hadnt notified her section yet. The young men and women being escorted by the syndicate were likely new recruits. The police must have considered the safety of these young people, and were conscious of the syndicates numbers. They worried that an ambush or assault could cause coteral damage, so they decided to evacuate the guests first. But if the syndicate dared to take refuge in the hotel, they must have prepared for this. The syndicate rounded up the guests one floor at a time, likely out of concern that someone among them could disrupt their operation. Thats why they gathered them all together. With the hotel system under their control, they could have ess to all the room keys and would know which rooms were upied and by whom. And theyre all hostages. This wasnt a single hostage situation. There was a whole group, a wave of a machine gun could take down multiple people. The forces outside needed to mind each move for their safety. I knew I shouldnt havee. Now Im going to lose my life here. A girl suddenly broke into hysterical sobbing. From the moment I got off the ne, I felt something was off. I should have gone back home. Another person murmured. When I was leaving, my cat kept pulling at my pants leg. I shouldnt have left. What do we do? I dont want to die. Me neither, I was just out here for some fun. I just got married, and came here for my honeymoon A few people huddled together, crying and venting their frustrations. Charlotte watched them, then turned her gaze back towards the gym entrance. Kevin rk whispered, The gym is on the sixth floor, the billiard room on the third, the restaurant on the second. There could be people in all of them. Charlotte Lane remarked. Yes. Kevin replied, The people in the grand hall of the first floor will be the most visible to those outside; its certain there will be some there. Charlotte nced at the gym. At the very least it was fortunate that, apart from the ss door, the surrounding walls werent made of ss. How many people are outside? Sixteen. Kevin answered. Charlotte nodded her acknowledgment; the count matched what she had seen, and so there were no issues. Suddenly, Kevin ced a hand on her lower back, asking softly, Are you physically up to this? Charlotte looked at him, her eyes not particrly friendly and seemingly hard to provoke, Well find out if I am when we fight. Kevin chuckled, Be careful. Martin Hanzel wont fail any assignment. Charlottes tone was nonchnt, yet brimming with quiet audacity. Kevins eyshes fluttered and he leaned in to press a kiss onto her lips. Charlotte arched an eyebrow, then turned her gaze to two male staff members nearby. The staff members had witnessed their quick kiss and were feeling awkward. When Charlotte suddenly gazed at them directly, they averted their eyes. Charlotte didnt care; she simply stated, After we go out, move those two cabs over there to the entrance and block the door. Huh? Just do it. Charlotte ordered. Its dangerous outside. One of the staff members hastily advised. Indeed, its very dangerous. Charlotte had barely finished speaking when a sound was heard from below. It was the sound of a megaphone. Attention police outside the hotel! I have gathered everyone inside the hotel to a few floors. I give you ten minutes to leave otherwise, for every extra minute, I kill one person on each floor. I mean what I say. A war of words ensued from the ground level. The crying and shouting inside the gym grew louder. What do we do? Will they really kill people? I dont want to die yet. Im still young, what will my parents do? They have guns; theyll be daring enough to do anything. Theyd definitely kill in order to escape. The cries grew louder and more heartbreaking one after another. From the gyms ss door, Charlotte watched as two figures stationed themselves at the entrance, seemingly ready to enter andmence the ughter at any moment. The despair inside the gym deepened. Its time. Kevin dered. Charlotte merely nodded her agreement. Their chaos could disrupt the attackers n, possibly throwing off the timing of the potential ughter. At the very least, the people in this room would be safe. The two of them sat on the treadmills, observing the doorway. A few secondster, Kevin announced, Move. Both sprang into action instantaneously, their movements extremely swift. Approaching the entrance, they swung the door open. Before the two guards outside could react, they had taken them down. All the people inside the gym witnessed this scene; every single sound had been silenced. The people in the hallway immediately noticed them. With the taken-down guards as human shields, Kevin and Charlotte seized their guns and fought back swiftly. Gunshots echoed around, followed by spurts of fresh blood, prompting everyone inside the gym to cover their ears and scream. The two staff members quickly sprung into action, moving the cabs. But because they were nervous and scared, they couldnt apply much force. Seeing this, the other men present all came forward to help. After several gunshots, no assistance had arrived from the room opposite the gym; once they confirmed safety, Kevin shot the door lock open with a gun. Both entered the room, using it as a barricade to return fire. A quick resolution was needed in case reinforcements arrived. Once they had dealt with this floor, Kevin and Charlotte collected some of the guns and bullets from the downed attackers, preparing to move up to the other floors. The people in the gym, noticing the silence outside, nervously called out, Are you guys okay? Kevin and Charlotte, who had just reached the door, both paused. Charlotte replied, Were fine. Come in, therell surely be more of theming up with all thismotion. The people inside started moving the cabs, Quickly,e in. Charlotte looked at the door, hesitated, then said, Were going elsewhere. Stay indoors. Unless theres a special situation, donte out. You should be safe inside. OK. Be careful. More than one voice urged them, quickly followed by another voice saying, Thank you. Chapter 549 - 492: Rescue Chapter 549: Chapter 492: Rescue The ss door of the gym could be shattered with a single gunshot. Fortunately, the cab material was good, and it wasrge enough topletely block the entrance. People inside also pushed some fitness equipment against the entrance cab. Once they were sure it couldnt be pushed open from outside by human force, they all retreated to the opposite corner, with no one near the entrance. Although it couldnt be pushed open, there was a risk of bulletsing through, making the entrance very dangerous. While they were inside blocking the door, reinforcements arrived on the sixth floor. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane fought with them for a while outside, buying time for those inside to block the door. When the situation inside was more or less under control, the two went to the safety passage. People had alsoe up from the safety passage downstairs, and the two of them took out some more people in the safety passage, picked up some more bullets, then went upstairs through the staircase. They both stayed on the 15th floor and reached it without damaging any surveince devices. No one intercepted them upstairs, and they were as fast as an elevator. So they easily returned to their room. Kevin rk guarded the door, while Charlotte Lane fetched herptop from her suitcase. As she caught her breath, she searched for the police equipment outside and synced the hotels surveince with theirs. Letting them know exactly where the enemies and hostages were in the hotel. Then she contacted them with her cellphone. As soon as she connected, they asked her who she was in English. Charlotte Lane simplymunicated with them in English and said directly: In five minutes, all the disys inside the hotel that can be watched will go ck, and only you can see whats going on inside the hotel. With five minutes time, the people outside knew the situation inside the hotel, and they could cooperate from within to sneakily attack from behind. After five minutes, the hotels surveince disys would be shut down, and the deception syndicate would be unable to see what was going on inside the hotel, or know where anyone hade in. Thats when they could destroy the surveince. Charlotte Lane also synced the hotels surveince to her and Kevin rks cellphones and checked their check-in information. Kevin rk was already fighting with people outside the door, so she handed him her gun and cellphone: They wont send too many people up. Yes. Kevin rk quickly loaded bullets into the gun, But they have hostages downstairs, and its hard to attack whether its from the inside or the outside. Once we get through this, theyll probably let us go. Charlotte Lane took down an opponent and said, There are people watching the police outside on the seventh and eighth floors. Kevin rk finished off thest person: Lets go there first. Well split up. Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk nced at Charlotte Lane without saying anything and said, Ill go to the seventh floor. At this point, they both trusted each other enough. Alright. The two immediately went to the seventh and eighth floors. When they reached the tenth floor, they could no longer see the surveince inside the hotel. So the deception syndicate didnt know the whereabouts of Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane. Police outside were still negotiating and persuading. Inside, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk took out the people on the seventh and eighth floors without using guns and without making a sound. The people on the seventh and eighth floors didnt even have time to call for help or send any information through their earpieces before they were killed. With them taken care of and no one left to monitor and ry the polices movements outside, the police silently attacked. They entered the fifth and fourth floors. A portion went inside to the second and third floors. While another group prepared on the upper floors using descenders. Snipers from the opposite building were also in position. As the police entered, the syndicate would soon be in chaos. The first reaction should have been to fight, but there was also a possibility of going into the rooms on the second and third floors to take hostages. Once they used the hostages as a threat, the people on the upper floors would immediately descend from the windows and attack from behind. As gunshots were heard on the second and third floor, chaos erupted in the first-floor lobby. First, the deception syndicate panicked, then the controlled crowd suddenly became agitated. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd. Suddenly, someone fired two shots at the ceiling. The agitated crowd let out terrified screams, followed by silence as they crouched down clutching their heads. Nobody move, crouch down! Stay quiet if you dont want to die! Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk both crouched in the crowd, observing the situation in the lobby. They couldnt see the surveince of the lobby when they were on the seventh and eighth floor. It seemed to have been damaged by a gunshot. The leader of the deception syndicate was agitated, constantly shouting at the outside with a megaphone. And the gun in his hand was pressed against a girls head. The girl fell to the ground in fear, tears instantly falling, but she didnt dare to cry loudly. That stifled sound, like she was about to suffocate herself. Do you really think I dont dare to shoot! Charlotte Lane looked at the girl, her eyes fixed on her profile for a moment. It was Jessica Maxwell. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk looked at each other. Both of them had a hint of speechlessness in their calm expressions. What a coincidence. The sound from the megaphone outside also came in: Dont get angry; we can talk about everything. We have prepared the car you requested. Dont kill anyone, and well let you go! Negotiate? Your people are already attacking Charlotte Lane clenched the dagger in her sleeve, and as the small leader didnt finish his second sentence, she rushed out. Kevin rk also immediately fired a shot that hit the mans hand, knocking the gun out of his hand and then covering Charlotte Lane. In an instant, all the guards in this room pointed their firepower at Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane. Police waiting in the first-floor safety passage immediately rushed in, and the police outside also started to attack. Charlotte Lane took Jessica Maxwell with her and quickly moved behind a single-seater sofa. Then returned fire. Seeing this, the rest of the people in the lobby covered their heads, screaming, but thankfully no one got up and ran around. Jessica Maxwell trembled with fear, clenching tightly onto Charlotte Lanes clothes. Charlotte Lanes movements were hindered, so she simply pulled Jessicas hand away and held her wrist to keep her from moving around. A few minutester, the deception syndicate was subdued, and the gunfire upstairs stopped. People were injured both upstairs and downstairs. Some people had been shot. But there was no immediate danger to their lives. Ambnces were standing by outside, and the injured were taken away in batches. The members of the deception syndicate were also taken away. Because there were so many people involved, they were not taken to the police station. At the same time, whileforting everyone, they asked them some questions on the spot. There were not only guests but also neen young people who had been deceived into joining. Among these neen people was Jessica Maxwell. And Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk were separately interrogated in their room upstairs. As they expected, Kevin rk called the M Continent Dark Radiance branch and asked them to bail them out. Chapter 550 - 493: Returning to the Capital Chapter 550: Chapter 493: Returning to the Capital Kevin rk said that someone woulde to pick them up, and as soon as he mentioned Dark Radiance, the M Continent police became more polite. He called to have someonee pick them up. While waiting for someone toe, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane took a rest and listened to the stories of how these people were deceived. All neen men and women were all deceived by online rtionships. They went to different ces to meet face to face and were then taken to this ce. The police said that this organization probably specialized in using online rtionships as a means of deception. They would divide into many smaller groups, each with its own deceptive methods. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk did not say much more. When someone came to pick them up, they took their belongings and prepared to leave. In the grand hall, the deceived people were sitting in a row on the long bench. Jessica Maxwell saw Charlotte Laneing out and instinctively followed her. Charlotte Lane saw her running over and paused for a moment. Daisy Zane. Charlotte Lane did not respond, just looking at her. Jessica Maxwell clenched her clothes and whispered, Thank you. After that, she said, Im sorry. Charlotte Lane paused for a moment, and said Youre wee., but she didnt ept the apology. Jessica Maxwells face was covered with dried tear marks, and her eyes were still red, looking quite pitiful. Charlottet Lane didnt say anything after saying Youre wee and neither did Jessica. She just stood there with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong. Is there anything else? Charlottet Lane asked. You heard about how I was deceived, didnt you? Jessica suddenly asked. Yes. Charlotte Lane replied. Dont you have anything to say to me? Jessicas head lowered even more due to embarrassment and shame. It seemed she was prepared to ept Charlottet Lanes ridicule. Charlotte Lane put her hands in her pockets, looked at her, and said after a while, Online rtionships are risky, be cautious when meeting in person. Kevin rk raised his eyebrow. Jessica looked up at her: Thats all? What else? Charlotte Lane replied, You organized such a big online event to nder me. Since youre so capable and yet got deceived, apart from advising you to be cautious, what else can I say? Jessica frowned, met her calm gaze, and immediately lowered her head again: Ive already apologized. Yes, but I didnt ept it. Charlotte Lane said calmly. Jessica was choked up. After a few seconds, she said, Its your fault, too. Third Master told me. Ive been in a daze these days, thats why it was so easy for me to get deceived. So youre ming me? Charlotte Lane asked rhetorically. I me myself. Jessica said weakly, I shouldnt have ndered you for no reason. You know it was for no reason. Its all right,ter someone wille to take several domestic ones back to the country. Charlotte Lane said, You should cooperate with the investigation here. Oh. Dark Radiances people from the M Continent branch came to pick them up. More than one car came, it was a fleet, each car with the g of Dark Radiance on it. When Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane came out, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The leader was a woman with a delicate appearance. When she saw theming out, the girl immediately went to greet them, Third Master. Charlotte Lane looked at her, wasnt she the female version of James Cooper? Kevin rk responded, then introduced her to Charlottet Lane with, Alfie Ward, the person in charge of this side of the M Continent. Alfie Ward looked at Charlotte Lane, and with a smile and a dimple on the left side of her face, Hello sister-inw, my name is Alfie Ward. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrow, it was the first time she had been called sister-inw, and it felt new: Hello. Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lanes smiling mouth, Shes James Coopers sister. Third Master, its my older sister. Kevin rk ignored her. Alfie Ward pouted, thenughed and said, Sister-inw, this way, please. Once they got into the car, Kevin rk asked, Why did you bring so many people? For the pomp, Alfie Ward replied, Dark Radiance is on the move, and since its to pick you up, the pomp should be greater. Charlotte Lane closed her eyes. Whether it was Dark Radiance, Ryan Easton, or D Continent, everyone in Imperial Capital was afraid of Kevin rk. However, Siera Santiago and Alfie Ward didnt seem as frightened of him. Kevin rk always seemed a bit gentler with girls, but still maintained his distance. We just caught a deception syndicate, Kevin rk said, There should be arger organization behind them. Look into it and take care of it. Yes, Alfie Ward replied. Also, there were a few from the domestic country at the hotel. After assisting in the investigation, have someone send them back to their country. Yes. Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane, who had closed her eyes, and then said to Alfie Ward, Drive smoothly. Alfie Ward looked outside through the rearview mirror, then smiled indulgently and said, Okay. They rested for a day in M Continent and then stayed for another day in Mountain Sea Continent before returning to Imperial Capital. After returning to the Imperial Capital, the two went to the Research Institute every day. Kevin rk asionally went to Ryan Easton as well. Andrew Lane apanied Sophie Ortiz on a tour. So for the time being, no one was avable to take Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane went to visit Old Master Lane on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, she went to rk Manor with Kevin rk. On Sundays, where she went was up to her mood. Two weeks aftering back, they rested for a day on Sunday. After having breakfast, Kevin rk went to the Easton Group, and Charlotte Lane stayed at home. After eating breakfast, she took over Kevin rks study room. She organized the experimental data and then began writing her thesis. After lunch, Charles Amos joined her in the study room. As she wrote her thesis, Charles Amos hugged hisputer, typing and pausing in between, coding programs. Charlotte Lane nced at him: What are you doing? Mr. rk assigned me a task. Perhaps he encountered some difficulties, and Charles Amos little face looked a bit bitter. What task? He wants me to inherit Ryan Easton, so I have to learn some things now, Charles Amos said seriously. Charlotte Lane: Charles Amos typed a few more characters and then stopped to look at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw his eyes and immediately said, I cant help you, dont look at me. But youre Nathan Ninevara. Just because Im Nathan Ninevara doesnt mean I have to know everything, Charlotte Lane continued writing her thesis, ignoring him. Seeing that she really wouldnt help him, Charles Amos had no choice but to note down what he didnt understand and wait to ask Kevin rk when he got back. After a while, Charles Amos said, Did something happen? What do you mean? Charlotte Lanes eyes remained on herputer. Every time I go out these days, an uncle follows me, Charles Amos said, I already have bodyguards with me when I leave the house, so why suddenly add another one who sticks so close to me? Charlotte Lanes expression changed slightly, and then she said, Close protection pays more money. They just want to earn more money. Charles Amoss lips twitched, and he epted this reason: Okay. At around the 3 p.m., Charles Amos fell asleep in the study room. Charlotte Lane carried him back to the bedroom and watched him for a while before going to the Lotus Pond to walk around for a bit. She sat on the swing, looking at the blooming lotuses. After a while, she heard approaching footsteps and stopped the swing to look over. Wilton Edwards walked over, stopped, looked at her with kind eyes, and called out, Lady. Chapter 551: 494: Each for Its Own Master Chapter 551: Chapter 494: Each for Its Own Master A gentle breeze blew by, causing the lotus flowers to sway softly in the wind. Charlotte Lane looked at Wilton Edwards and asked, Uncle Edwards, is something the matter? Wilton shook his head, then walked over to the edge of the lotus pond and gazed at the distant lotus flowers, saying, Lady, time flies, doesnt it? Charlotte looked at him, her hands gripping the swings rope tightening involuntarily: Yes. Young Master has grown up so quickly, Wilton reminisced. Charlotte remained silent. Wilton was silent for a while before speaking again, Lady, have I ever told you how I came to be by Edward Kirstens side? Charlottes thumb gently brushed the swings rope as she softly responded, Mm. Robert Kirsten and I were originally from an orphanage. When we were ten, we were chosen by Michael Kirsten, Edward Kirstens father, to participate in a training program. Over thirty of us were training together, eating and sleeping in the same ce, Wilton slowly recounted. In the orphanage, we often went hungry, but at the training camp, we didnt have to worry about being fed or clothed. Those days were the happiest times for Robert and me. What happened after that? Charlotte asked. We continued that life for eight years, Wilton said. After that, we were taken to a martial arts arena we had never been to before. Michael Kirsten, several years older than me at the time, said that out of the thirty of us, he only needed five. Whoever survived until the end was up to their own abilities. That was the first time I killed to stay alive C my victims were the friends who had been by my side for eight years.
Charlotte looked at him: Fortunately for you, both you and Robert Kirsten survived. Yes, Wilton calmly said, After that, we became Michael Kirstens assassins. Uncle Edwards, you dont seem like an assassin, Charlotte remarked. You have too many personal feelings. Lady, you are right. I have always longed for a peaceful and stable life, Wilton said with a faint smile. Before Michael Kirsten passed away, his orders were for us to take care of and protect Henry Kirsten and Lady Kirsten, to follow theirmands. Robert Kirsten and I grew up together, and he knows me well. He took over my share of the tasks, allowing me to stay at home and take care of Henry Kirsten and Lady Kirsten, Wilton continued after a pause. But Young Master Henry Kirsten has been distant since childhood, both towards his father and us. He doesnt need anyones care. He knows what he wants and what he needs to do. All he needs are obedient subordinates. So my main task is to take care of Lady Kirsten. So you have deep feelings for Lady Kirsten, Charlotte remarked. You treat her like your own daughter. Yes. What about Charles Amos then? Charlotte asked. Do you love him too because of her? Initially, it was because Lady Kirsten gave her life for him, and he is her continuation, Wiltons voice grew slightly hoarse. Butter on I really came to love him. I know, Charlotte said softly. Thats why I never worried that you would hurt Charles. So thats also why you let me stay with Young Master Charles after you returned to the city, Wilton looked at Charlotte. Charlotte looked at him but suddenly couldnt speak. I wont hurt you either, Wilton said as he watched her. Charlotte looked at him and whispered, But the person you want to harm is the one I love most. Wilton was taken aback for a moment before lowering his head and smiling, Lady, youve always been like this, always putting others before yourself. Charlottes lips reddened, and her expression turned cold. She continued to look at Wilton before asking, Why would you do this? Lady, I am an assassin, and I have been loyal to my master my entire life, Wilton replied with the same calm, gentle tone as before. Unless I die. So when you brought Charles out of Continent A, you were following Edward Kirstens orders? Charlotte asked coldly. Yes, Wilton said. Ever since you first tried to leave, Henry Kirsten told me that you were too smart for him to keep by his side, and he was afraid he would lose you one day. If that day ever came, my task would be to follow you, take care of you, protect you, and listen to you. Even if it meant bing enemies with Henry Kirsten without a specific order.
What is a specific order? Charlotte asked. Henry Kirsten would send someone to contact me and give me orders, Wilton exined. I havent been in touch with him for many years, and I dont know anything about his situation. So my task was to follow your orderspletely. But a while ago, Henry Kirsten sent someone to contact me. So you leaked our whereabouts, our trip to Mountain Sea Continent, Charlottes voice grew colder. Yes. Lady, Im sorry, Wiltons eyes reddened. But I never intended to hurt you, and Henry Kirsten wouldnt hurt you either. He just wants you to return.
Really? Charlotte Lane looked at him, Do you know that? Alice Eugene defied our orders and tried to kill me. Wilton Edwards pupils trembled: What? However, its not a big deal. I killed her. Wilton Edwards paused again. Charlotte Lane observed his reaction, realizing that he really didnt know. It looked like Edward Kirsten had indeed only kept in touch with him. So it was pointless to ask any further questions. Wilton Edwards, your understanding of me is too one-sided, Charlotte Lane said, I wont just kill Alice Eugene, if I go back, I will kill Edward Kirsten. Lady Charlotte Lane shifted her gaze and looked at Lotus Pond, Why tell me all this voluntarily? Didnt Lady already guess? The rk Family sent someone to protect the Young Master and did not allow me to take him out alone. While Lady knew but didnt say anything, you had someone monitor my whereabouts. Wilton Edwards paused for a moment, The rk Family has always been good to me, and Third Master has given me enough respect. After leaking your whereabouts, I felt extremely guilty. However I had to do it. I cannot betray Henry Kirsten. Everyone has their own master. Charlotte Lane did not respond.
It is even more torturous for me if Lady does not expose the truth. Rather than this, its better to tell everything. After saying this, Wilton Edwards pressed his eyes, Lady is doing this because there is no direct evidence and wanted to force me to confess. Do you know the consequences of saying this? Charlotte Lane asked. Will Lady take my life? Wilton Edwards looked at her. Charlotte Lane looked back at him, and the two stared at each other for a long while. In the end, Charlotte Lane averted her gaze and plucked a lotus beside her. For the past eleven years, Wilton Edwards had been like a father to her. She respected, cherished, and trusted him. Taking his life was something she couldnt bear to do. Last year on M Continents Koymoon Ind, I met Robert Kirsten. She said quietly. Wilton Edwards whole body tensed up again: He Hes always wanted to see you, but I didnt allow it, Charlotte Lane said, It seems Ive hindered your reunion. Lady is also protecting me. Wilton Edwards asked, How is he now? In M Continent. Charlotte Lane said, I had someone break his legs. Wilton Edwards lips trembled, and his breathing quickened.
You go take care of him, perhaps he can live a few more years. Charlotte Lanes voice was cold to the extreme, ruthless and numb. Wilton Edwards gazed at her nkly. Say goodbye to Henry Horton today. Charlotte Lane got up from the swing, I will have someone send you away tomorrow. Wilton Edwards stood in ce without a word. Its up to you how you say it to him. Charlotte Lane said, Hes grown up now, he should learn to face separation. After saying this, Charlotte Lane left. Wilton Edwards stood there for a long time before he left. Chapter 552: 495: The Bottom Line is You Chapter 552: Chapter 495: The Bottom Line is You Easton Group. After finishing his work, Kevin rk didnt leave right away. On the side wall of the office, there was a ten-meter by ten-meter holographic transparent projection screen. Disyed on it were the distribution maps of M Continent, D Continent, F Continent, A Continent, and Mountain Sea Continent. It showed the distribution of entertainment venues, underground casinos, boxing rings, and other locations on each continent. Each location was marked with a red dot. Some were marked with green dots. The green dots marked the trading locations of 319 that had been destroyed in the past. Overall, these red and green dots were intertwined in their distribution. Kevin rk sat behind the office desk, looking at the distribution with the chair tilted to one side. After a while, he marked a few points and connected a few lines. Then he wiped one line, tapping his fingers on the table, wondering where the line would be more appropriate to connect.
At that moment, there was a knock on the office door. He turned his head and saw Charlotte Lane standing at the entrance as the door opened. Kevin rk paused, then turned off the projection with a flick of his hand. He smiled as usual and then stood up, saying, Little girl, what brings you here? Charlotte nced at the wall and didnte in: Are you busy? Its not an urgent matter, just looking into something. Kevin rk walked up to her and noticed her lips were unnaturally red, Whats wrong? He touched her forehead and felt it was hot. Is it Wilton Edwards? Kevin asked. Charlotte nodded: He admitted it to me. Kevin rk hugged her and stroked her head: Its alright, everything will be fine. Charlotte leaned her face against his shoulder and said softly, When I first left the Continent A, only Wilton was with me. With him around, I knew someone was protecting Charles Amos, and I felt at ease and settled. I understand. He helped me deal with many things. Kevin rk stroked her hair. I really wish I had been wrong in my suspicions. Charlottes hand gripped Kevins shirt tightly, her body shaking slightly from the force. Kevin rk gently kissed the top of her head: I know. Charlotte didnt speak anymore, simply allowing Kevin to hold her. Kevin didnt say anything either, just stroking her head, gradually helping her rx. It wasnt until Charlottes emotions had stabilized somewhat that he led her into the office and sat her down on the sofa.
Then he went to pour her a ss of hot water. Not only were Charlottes lips red now, but her eyes were also red. How did you handle it? Kevin asked. I sent him to M Continent to apany Robert Kirsten, Charlotte said softly, Or you can decide. He targeted you, so you can handle it however you want.
Going to M Continent to apany Robert Kirsten meant being imprisoned for life. A life facing Roberts disability and confronting ones own guilt. Even for an assassin, without orders and assignments, it would be just living a muddled and dreadful life. Kevin rk stroked her face: Ill listen to you. Charlotte held the ss of water and didnt say anything. Is it because of Edward Kirsten? Kevin asked. Charlotte nodded. Kevin got the general idea and didnt ask further: Each has their own master, and perhaps this is a relief for him. Charlotte was silent for a moment and then suddenly said, I have always trusted him. When we were in A Continent, Wilton didntmunicate much with Edward Kirsten and didnt get involved in Edwards affairs. His mission seemed to be only taking care of my sister, taking care of me, and taking care of Charles. Moreover, Edward really hated Charles and even posed a threat to his life. So when he and I left A Continent together, I always thought it was natural. He might like this kind of ordinary life, but he first became an assassin, which destined his fate. Im sorry. Charlotte Lane said, I almost got you in trouble. Hurt me? Kevin rk twisted her head to make her look at him, He doesnt have the ability. Not to mention him, even Edward Kirsten, who hides in the dark and upies all kinds of advantageous conditions, cant hurt me. Charlotte Lane listened to his arrogant tone, her eyebrows moved slightly, but her eyes seemed unfocused, as if she didnt know what she was thinking or what she was looking at, What if Im not a good person either? Kevin rk pinched her chin and shook it slightly: Then Im not a good person either.
Third Master, what about the bottom line? Charlotte Lanes vision finally focused on his face. Kevin rk kissed her: Here. You are. Charlotte Lane raised the corner of her mouth slightly. That day, Charlotte Lane went back to the Lane Family directly from the Easton Group. The next day, before Charles Amos woke up, Kevin rk arranged for Wilton Edwards to leave. Before leaving, Wilton Edwards kept looking around. Kevin rk said, She didnte. Wilton Edwards lowered his head in disappointment: Third Master, Im sorry. Many things cant be judged by right or wrong, you have your loyalty, and we have our beliefs, Kevin rk said, different paths. Although the person youre loyal to isnt worth anything. But thats between us and him. So theres no need to apologize. Wilton Edwards smiled: I didnt tell Young Master, and I dont know how to tell him. I left him a letter. Please help me give it to him, Third Master. Kevin rk took it: Okay. After Wilton Edwards was sent away, Kevin rk took the letter back to rk Manor.
Finn rk was already up and jogging in the courtyard. Seeing Kevin rk return, he asked, Did he leave? Yes. Whats this? Finn rk looked at the letter in his hand and asked. Kevin rk handed it to him: The letter from Alozon Kirsten to Charles Amos. Finn rk immediately took a step back: Why are you giving it to me? Its your son, so of course you should give it to him, Kevin rk said. Now you remember hes my son? Finn rk said, What? Did you cut off your father-son rtionship with him? Have you had a problem with metely? Kevin rk looked at him and said, Why do your words always carry a sting to them? Heh. Finn rk chuckled lightly, You try being locked up in your own house and not allowed out. If it were you with your bad temper, you would have definitely torn the house apart by now. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows: What? Is the house too small for you to run, or not enough for you to train? Big Brother specially set up a shooting range for you at home. I never had this treatment. Not mentioning it would have been fine, but it only made Finn rk angrier: Was that set up for me? That was set up for Charles Amos to practice shooting. As soon as Charles Amos was mentioned, Kevin rk looked at the letter in his hand and worried.
Seeing his appearance, Finn rk asked, Will he cry? I havent seen him cry since I came back. Kevin rk directly pressed the letter on him: Just in time, you can go and see. After saying this, he turned and walked away. The letter fell from his body, and Finn rk subconsciously caught it: Third Master rk, youre going too far. Im angry! Kevin rk didnt hear it and walked leisurely to the front hall. Hey, youve really grown wings and be hard-hearted, Finn rk yelled, Who was it! Who patiently advised in front of our parents, so they gave birth to you? So you have your current happy life, and now youve forgotten? I didnt forget. Kevin rk said slowly without turning his head. It was you. Youre the best Second Brother, so you wont refuse your little brother this small request, will you? Finn rk: . Finn rk: ?????? How was it that he had been turned against and his heart pierced? Chapter 553: 496: Soothing the Child Chapter 553: Chapter 496: Soothing the Child Although Arthur North and Finn rk hesitated for a while, they eventually gave the letter to Charles Amos after he had breakfast for more than an hour. In the morning, Charles woke up and did not see Wilton Edwards. He had already looked around and asked where Wilton had gone. However, Elina rk and Natalie Wayne didnt know how to exin it to him for the time being, so they vaguely told him that Wilton seemed to be busy outside. Charles felt that something was wrong. Maybe since he woke up from his nap yesterday afternoon, he felt that something was off about Wilton. After finishing breakfast with doubts, he yed the piano for a while. Arthur North and Finn rk then handed him the letter. Wiltons letter didnt say much, only that: [Young Master has grown up. Its time for Grandpa Edwards to do his own thing. Theres another grandfather who needs Grandpa Edwards care, so he wont apany the Young Master anymore.] It was just a simple sentence. After reading the letter, Charles stared at the two people in front of him with bewildered eyes. Arthur North and Finn rk looked back at him, and neither of them spoke. The three of them stayed silent for a while, and Charles holding the letter, asked them: What does Wilton mean? Who is the other grandfather?
Finn didnt say anything. Arthur replied softly, You dont know him. Cant he be brought to the Imperial Capital for care? Charles asked again. This time Arthur didnt speak, but tacitly agreed that it was not possible. So Wilton wonte back anymore? Charles asked, his eyes reddening, and his voice bing hoarse. Yes, Finn replied. Why? After asking, Charles felt they wouldnt answer, so he immediately asked another question, Does my mom know? Arthur nodded, Yes. Charles tilted his face up, and when he heard these two words, tears fell from his eyes. He quickly raised his hand to wipe them, and then lowered his head trying to hold back the tears. However, it wasnt very sessful. His little body was trembling, and he let out a faint sob. Finns eyes twitched, Charles. Im fine, Charles choked, Ill be okay in a while. Finn frowned in sympathy. Arthur patted Charles head, Its okay to cry if youre upset. Charles wiped his eyes again and shook his little head, Ive grown up. Arthur squatted in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said, Charles, we all go through departures. We cant change that, nor can we help it. It has nothing to do with growing up. So you can cry, its not shameful. Finn looked down at Arthur, and the hand hanging by his side curled slightly. When he left back then, was his younger brother like this too?
Charles shook his head and stopped talking. He turned around and walked upstairs. Finn looked at Charles small figure and said, Let him be on his own for a while. Arthur stood up and sighed softly, Time flies so fast. Hes grown up, and in a few years, we may not be able to bully him anymore. After he finished speaking, Arthur looked at Finn, who was staring back at him, and said, Whats wrong? Are you thinking about how I grew up too?
Finn nodded, Yes, youve be a father. And youre really embracing the role. In the past, I couldnt even imagine this. Arthur raised an eyebrow. He couldnt imagine it either. In the past, he wouldnt have been involved in such matters. First, he wouldnt havee. Second, if he hade, he would have just dropped off the letter and left. Comforting a child was something he would never have done. Life is truly unpredictable. When are you going to have a child with L Campbell? Finn suddenly asked. What, are you afraid that Ill steal your childs spotlight? Arthur walked out with him. A little. Bear with it, Arthur said. Ill leave it to you. Im going to the Research Institute. Charles was down all day, no matter who tried tofort him, he would just say he was fine and not cry again. However, since he was still young and couldnt hide his emotions, he even ate less.
It wasnt until Charlotte Lane returned in the afternoon. As soon as he saw her, Charles mouth twitched, and his tears fell like a broken dam. His small shoulders shook with each sob. Elina rk, Natalie Wayne, and Finn rk stood not far away, watching his sudden emotional breakdown. Finn, unsure of what to do, said, This Hes just closer to L, Elina responded. Of course, chimed in Natalie Wayne. Charlotte was still a distance away when she saw Charles crying. As she approached, there was no sign of hurry in her steps. She watched him cry, getting closer step by step, like an ice-cold, heartless person. But when she finally reached him, she squatted down. Charles immediately hugged her neck, buried his face in her shoulder, and sobbed. Arthur stood behind Charlotte, watching the two of them. Charlotte didnt say anything, she just let Charles hold her and cry. Until Charles had cried enough, his voice softened, and he buried his head inside her shoulder and whispered, Can I still see Grandpa Edwards in the future? I heard youve grown up, Charlotte didnt answer him, instead saying, You said you wouldnt cry.
Charles had soaked her shoulder with tears. He moved and buried his face in her other shoulder, Im already like this, and youre still making fun of me. Youre like this, and I cant even make fun of you? Charlotte said, Isnt this just giving me a chance to mock you? Arthur chuckled. Charles fell silent, . Seeing that he didnt speak, Charlotte finally answered his previous question, If you want to see him, you can go see him. Really? Charles asked softly. Yes, Charlotte confirmed. What about you? Charles asked again. I wont go, Charlotte replied. Charles, what happens between us adults wont affect you, so you dont have to worry about anything. Right now, youre little. If you want to do something, you need to tell me or someone else at home and let them take you there. When you grow up, where you want to go or who you want to see will be up to you. You dont need to tell me anymore. Charles held onto her and was silent for a while, but he finally voiced his inner thoughts, But I wont be able to see Wilton every day. Yes, Charlotte replied. So you should learn to ept it. No one can be with you every day. Youre growing up, and even if we wanted to see you every day, we wouldnt be able to. Of course, that situation doesnt exist, because I dont want to see you every day. Arthur patted Charlottes head as he stood behind her. Charles did not say anything, but just held onto her a little tighter.
Charlotte let him hold her for a while and then said, Get up; my leg is numb. It was only then that Charles let her go, his eyes and nose red from crying. Arthur helped Charlotte up. Seeing Charles pitiful expression, Charlotte suddenly said, Your snot is all over my clothes. You should at least pay for one. Charles pursed his lips, now even more heartbroken. Chapter 554: 497: Arthur North…Uncle Chapter 554: Chapter 497: Arthur NorthUncle Although Charlottesfort had some effect, Charles was still listless for many days. Since Charles was young, he had always been taken care of by Uncle Wilton. Suddenly, without Wilton by his side, he was not used to it. In the past, when he secretly went to Truro City, Uncle Wilton wasnt with him, but he knew that Wilton was always there, so it was alright. But now, suddenly, he felt very ufortable. However, no one else could help him with this kind of problem. Uncle Wiltons position could not be reced by anyone else. So, Charles could only slowly adjust by himself. The Research Institute got busier, with Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane hardly returning home for a month. They almost always stayed in the Research Institute Dormitory. Williams situation was simr. However, on the day Olivia entered school, the two siblings took time off to see her off. Later, they were photographed at Imperial Capital University.
Simrly, somehow when the photos appeared on the hot search, Olivia was once again photoshopped out. Although Charlotte was a student at Imperial Capital University, she always went straight to theboratory from the entrance and had never taken a closer look at the campus. This time, after helping Olivia settle in, the three siblings looked around. And then they were photographed. The three siblings were standing in line ording to their height, with Olivia being photoshopped out on the side. Charlotte hadnt appeared for a long time, and her appearance on the inte immediately became a hot search. Onlinements were either about how well-matched Charlotte and William were, or curious about why they had such a good rtionship. Fewments suggested that their rtionship was inappropriate; suchments were drowned out by others. Another group,posed of Hugo rk and William Lanes CP fans, were working hard to find details and exin that the two were just ordinary friends, not wanting to let their beloved CP end. Neither Charlotte nor Hill Dawson responded to this. There was no need to respond to this obvious excitement. However, after about ten hours, Kevin rk suddenly updated his Facebook post while working in theboratory. [Keep your eyes wide open and dont fall for the wrong CP.] People had just about gotten over the excitement, but his post set off another wave of activity. Everyone wasughing in thements below his Facebook post. Later in the evening, heined to his wife, feeling wronged. Sitting on the bed, he hugged Charlotte, who had just finished taking a bath and was standing beside the bed: Little girl, theyreughing at me online again. Serves you right, Charlotte said mercilessly. Kevins hand reached into her bathrobe while he continued to look at her pitifully.
Charlotte was once again blinded by lust. She despised herself but said, Tell me, how should Daddy make it up to you? Say something nice. Kevin looked up at her, expecting. She would definitely meet this request. Charlotte raised her eyebrows, bent down slightly, got closer to him, and then called out, Third Uncle.
Kevins mouth twitched, and the expectation,ughter, and warmth in his eyes were instantly reced by a dangerous fierceness. Charlotte saw his sudden change and smiled. Before he spoke, she kissed him on the lips and called out again, Brother Arthur. Kevins expression changed once more. He stared nkly at the girl in front of him, suddenly feeling overwhelmed. However, he very clearly heard his suddenly elerated heartbeat. This call of Brother Arthur was not like when she was a child with a cute, milky voice. It was very t, emotionless, and steady, like after more than twenty years of life. But the impact on Kevin was still too significant. Seeing his expression, theughter in Charlottes eyes deepened. Then she straightened up to get a hairdryer from the bathroom. But as soon as she straightened up, Kevin pulled her back. He even asked her to sit astride him. Charlotte looked at him. Kevin wrapped his arm around her waist: Say it again. Taking a mile after getting an inch? Kevin smiled, then kissed her lips: Say it again.
Charlotte looked at him but didnt speak. Little Girl, say it again. ArthurUncle. Kevin: .. Charlotteughed. The Research Institute was busy for more than a month and only slowed down in early October. In the afternoon, after work, Charlotte, Kevin, and William Lane decided to visit the Lane family home. William drove while the other two sat in the back. As the car started, William looked in the rearview mirror and said, Im at least your big cousin, and youre making me be your driver. Theres only your Third Uncle and Third Aunt here, said Kevin, leisurely sitting in the back. Charlotte: Do you have any shame? William scolded.
Thats a fact, said Kevin. Why dont you two get out and fight first? suggested Charlotte, Like when you were kids, fighting until one of you bleeds from the head? He made my head bleed, they both said in unison. Charlotte: Why did she join this topic? It made her seem unintelligent. Keep an eye on Turner Daniel and the Santiago family, Charlotte changed the subject, Although Dean Yue hasnt publicly announced that Turner should take over the Research Institute, his recent attention to Turner, and Turners rapid progress, are too eye-catching. Kevin: Alright. The Santiago family has already sent people to secretly protect them. William added, Santiagos security has always been good, so you can rest assured. During special times, they will also pay extra attention. Charlotte nodded, then said after a while, Dont you think Dean Yue is a bit strange? How so? Kevin asked. Isnt he being too deliberate in making people know that he wants Turner to take over the Research Institute? Charlotte said, Isnt this going to make it easier for people to attack Turner early? He needs Turner to learn things quickly and needs to prove Turners ability quickly. He can learn covertly, but to prove his ability, he needs to show people. Its not a deliberate move; its something he has to do, Kevin squeezed her hand and said. Charlotte naturally understood this reasoning, but she felt that something still wasnt quite right. Kevin patted her head: Madam has a long way to go. In addition to being busy with her own affairs, she also has to work hard with that brat from the Santiago family.
Listening to his sour tone, Charlotte was about to speak when her cellphone beeped continuously. She took it out and saw that Anisa Cooper and Hill Dawson were continuously sending her messages. Kevin sat next to her and naturally saw the messages: What happened online? Charlotte clicked on the messages. Both Anisa and Hill were sending her question marks and exmation marks, so she scrolled up directly. She saw an article link that Hill had forwarded. There was a big, straightforward headline that made it easy to know what was happening online without even clicking the article. [What do you think about the possibility that Daisy Zane is not Daisy Zane?] Chapter 555: 498: Identity is Suspected Chapter 555: Chapter 498: Identity is Suspected [First, when Daisy Zane wanted to clear her innocence in Cold Green Vige, she showed us that video. Inside the video, besides the Daisy Zane we see now and her grandma, there is a third person. Although the third person doesnt show their face, they are a girl, and they call Daisy Zane Shangshang. Why dont they call her a title rted to the three characters of Daisy Zane?] [Second, why is her name in the Research Institute called Nicholson Amos? Was she originally called Nicholson Amos? Why not use the name Daisy Zane instead?] [Third, the phone recording with Johanes Miles. Dont you think she sounded like an outsider when she mentioned udia Zane? She also said, The Miles Family was originally Daisy Zanes inheritance, shouldnt she have said, The Miles Family was originally my inheritance?] [Fourth, as far as I know, in Cold Green Vige, cell phones lose signal after entering. How did she manage to have an identity in various fields? There is no doubt that she learned a lot of knowledge from her grandma, as she mentioned on the variety show. But dont you think her knowledge is too broad? And many things cannot be mastered just by learning some knowledge, such as knowing fashion trends and what kind of scripts the audience likes. These are not things she can master if she asionally leaves Cold Green Vige unless shes often not in Cold Green Vige.] After breaking down the whole article, the arguments are reasonable, and since there have always been doubts about her identity, when someone stood up to talk about it, online discussions exploded. [I think the analysis makes so much sense, really, the more I see, the more it makes sense.] [Actually, Ive had these questions for a long time, but Im a bit scared, and I never dared to say it. Im afraid Third Master will silence me.] [Same here, same here. Im afraid, Im genuinely afraid of Third Master, especially regarding the online rumors about him.] [Usually, gossiping is fine, and I often go to Third Masters Facebook page, but the nature of this matter is somewhat different. Im also a little scared, and I dont even dare toment more.] [And, have you guys noticed? Whenever Third Master tags a Facebook post, he always tags Flynn Ninevaras Facebook.]
[Lets assume the authenticity of this matter. So who is our Flynn Ninevara?] [Yeah, who is she? Is she called Nicholson Amos? Then who is Nicholson Amos?] [Then why rece Daisy Zanes identity? Where is the real Daisy Zane?] [My goodness. Is Flynn Ninevara here to avenge the Miles Family?] [!!!!!!!!!!!] [Oh my, the most intuitive thought, the Miles Family is in big trouble.] [Well, its their own fault. Old Master Miles killed udia Zane. Has the Miles Family ever done a good deed?] Charlotte Lane was browsing onlinements in the car and flipping through them casually. As she was reading, Holt Lawrence sent her a message. [The online news has someone behind it, one of your Lane Family rtives.] Charlottes rtives, who had been to the Lane Family during that time, knew her identity. After taking back their shares, they made small moves desperate for fish destruction. Holt Lawrence then sent her the material on that rtive. Charlotte looked at it, then sent it to William Lane: Brother, I sent some material to your cell phone. Could you help me with it? William Lane was driving and didnt know what had happened, but still agreed immediately: Okay. How do you want to deal with the online discussions? Kevin rk asked. Well talk about itter. Charlotte Lane continued flipping through thements. Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what happened? William asked from the front.
Its not a big deal. People online are just analyzing that Im not Daisy Zane. Charlotte replied. William frowned, Will it have any impact? Should be fine. Charlotte said, I havent done anything illegal using Daisys identity. After being exposed, I might face a fine or detention for up to ten days. William Lane:
Kevin rk: Charlotte didnt mind their reactions and sent a message to Hill Dawson and Anisa Cooper: [No need to worry, without someone buying heat, the news will drop soon.] Anisa Cooper obeyed without a fuss. But Hill Dawson asked: [But people keep asking the studio. If we dont respond, it may look like an admission.] Charlotte Lane: [Then just let it be an admission.] Hill Dawson: [???????] Hill Dawson: [What do you mean? So what they said online is true?] Charlotte sent a single period to Hill Dawson, and Hill Dawson didnt ask any more questions. Kevin rk patted her head: You can tell me whenever you want to, or you dont have to. William nced at Charlotte, looking as unexpressive as usual. Charlotte didnt say anything, looking out the car window instead. William personally dealt with the Lane Familys rtives. The online discussions cooled down since nobody bought the heat. Although they still talked about it, it quickly dropped off the hot search.
It seemed like people just wanted a lively discussion,ing and going quickly. And one of the main reasons was those anti-fans didnt show up. Since thest time they filmed Charlotte and William, the anti-fans dwindled significantly. This time, without their involvement, there were only scattered small groups, barely noticeable, and even ignorable. Suddenly, people found it hard to adapt. So after discussing Charlottes matter, people were even more curious about where those anti-fans had gone. In the past, they were even more excited than fans when the wind blew the grass. They couldnt wait to analyze the videos frame by frame to criticize Daisy Zane. But now, after two hot searches without a trace, people felt something was off. At the height of everyones curiosity. From an anti-fan group, a fan suddenly shared a few screenshots to the fan group. [More than a dozen anti-fan groups suddenly disbanded.] [Before the anti-fan leader disbanded the group, she advised everyone to turn a new leaf and open their eyes. She said, if you really look with your heart, without prejudice, Daisy Zane is a role model, no matter as an actress or any other identity. She deserves everyones love.]
The fans in the group were dumbfounded. At this point, the anti-fan leader updated her Facebook with a new post. [Starting today, I will leave the inte, and this is thest post I will make. I deeply apologize for my previous actions against Miss Daisy Zane. In the future, I will deeply repent and hope to be forgiven by Lady Zane. Also, I want to say that I hope everyone will never get to know someone with prejudice or jealousy. And dont purposely criticize anyone just to criticize.] Chapter 556: 499: Alice Eugene…… Chapter 556: Chapter 499: Alice Eugene No one knows that Jessica Maxwell is the leader of the hate group. All we know is that the organization behind the Hate Group Leader is enormous. So its sudden dissolution has caused quite a bit of attention. [Diddid the Third Master sue her?] [I dont think it has much to do with the Third Master. I remember when he first sued her, she was quite arrogant. Everyone knows her family is rich, and they seem to live in the Imperial Capital and have some connections to the rk Family. It wouldnt serve the Third Master well to meddle with her unless necessary.] [Then what happened to her? Im not used to this.] [She deleted all the negative posts about Miss Brook from her Facebook.] [Im a fan from another fandoming to gather some tips on how to dissolve a hate group.] [Im a fan from another fandom too, witnessing this for the first time. Just a bystander.] [Ive heard of haters bing fans, but never of the leader of haters bing a fan.] [Although this ex-hater suddenly started praising our Miss Brook. As a fan, I suddenly feel a bit lost for what I should do.]
[You guys, what exactly did Miss Brook do to receive such praise from a former hate group leader?] When Jessica Maxwell quit the inte, L Campbell was ying chess with Old Master Lane at home. They were sitting under a rose trellis, a mosquito coil burning next to the chess board, small colored lights illuminating the vine rack above them. L, Charles Flores visited yesterday. L Campbell raised an eyebrow and took one of Old Masters knights on the chess board: Did hee to see you? Old Master Lane chuckled, Why are you pretending to act silly now? When has he evere to see me? During Chinese New Year. L Campbell answered. Exactly. Old Master Lane said with a clicking sound, And I didnt actually ask when he came to see me. You little girl L Campbell smiled. The older you get, the naughtier you be. Do you bully Arthur North every day? Grandpa, I am your real granddaughter. L Campbell reminded him. Old Master Lane chuckled at her before speaking again, Charles Flores wants me to persuade you to return to the Court Music Academy. He wants you to take over it. Grandpa, Ive already told my teacher that Ick the time, L Campbell said gently, The research institute is demanding, and I dont have much time for anything else, not just the Court Music Academy. Indeed, the Research Institute will keep you busy if thats where your focus is. L Campbell nced at Old Master Lane and the corner of her mouth curled upward, but she didnt say anything. Old Master Lane didnt notice her smile, he kept his eyes fixed on the chess board and continued, Charles Flores said that if you go to the Court Music Academy, you will be its master. In the Research Institute He said Dean Yue was unfair. He chooses not to use those with talent, preferring to let his own grandson take the position. L Campbell didnt correct him, she listened as Old Master continued speaking. L, youve always been a leader in what you do. In the Research Institute dont you feel unsatisfied? Finally, Old Master Lane voiced his real concern.
Grandpa, being a leader doesnt necessarily mean I have to be the Dean in the Research Institute, does it? L Campbell replied as she fondled a chess piece in her hand, My contributions have nothing to do with whether I am a dean or not. Like even though I am not the official owner of Spotlight, my reputation as the Chief Designer has nothing to do with whether or not I am the CEO. My ce within the jewelry design world remains secure even after I left Spotlight. Old Master Lane watched her. After a few moments, he chuckled and nodded, It appears I was being narrow-minded. L Campbell shook her head, Grandpa, as you know, my ambition is vast. I want to climb to the top everywhere I go. I long for control, the feeling of having everything under my own hand. Old Master Lane watched as L Campbell calmly shared her cold indifference to everything else. She waspletely detached from worldly cares and concerns.
Dean Yue showed me kindness L Campbell said, I will do everything I can to help Turner Daniel. If he has the talent, I would dly support him. Old Master Lane nodded. Grandpa, even though Ive been out of the house since a very young age, and I havent been by your side for over a decade, L Campbell said, But I have not forgotten your teachings. She never forgot. Even when she lost her memory, when Edward Kirsten was her only support, she never forgot. Thats why she vehemently disagreed with Edward Kirsten and refused to be someone like him. Shes been away for so long, and Old Master Lane was worried that she had taken a wrong turn somewhere. And given the decisions shes made since returning home and the rumors hes heard, Old Master Lane felt a touch of concern. Thats why she reminded her one more time. General. Charlotte Lane took Old Master Lanes chess move. Old Master Lane nced at the chess board, hed lost. Old Master Lane: Cant you take it easy on me? You should go to bed now. replied Charlotte Lane.
countered Old Master Lane,its not even ten oclock yet. Its nine fifty-two. she said. Old Master Lane didnt want to move. Charlotte Lane nced at him, pausing for a moment before suggesting, Starting from tomorrow, were going to bed at nine. Old Master Lane: The housekeeper sitting by his side,ughed quietly to himself. Finally, someone was able to manage their Old Master. This thought made him identally chuckle out loud. Old Master Lane looked at him: Whats there tough at? Dont you know its time for bed? Its ten oclock. The wronged housekeeper immediately stoppedughing, stood up and said: Its time for bed. Old Master Lane got up, and Charlotte Lane too, stood up with him. You should go to bed early too. Old Master Lane said to Charlotte Lane. Okay. Charlotte Lane replied, Goodnight, Grandfather. After waiting for Old Master Lane to return to his room, Charlotte Lane sat outside for a while longer. She finished her call with Kevin rk, and then received another call from Felix Baker.
Jace Miles wanted to see her. Giving it some thought, he might want to discuss matters about the Miles Family, so she agreed and decided to meet after work the next day. After ending the call with Felix Baker, Charlotte Lane went back to her room to sleep. Meanwhile, on M Continent. Due to the time difference, it was still day time in M Continent. Ste Edwards performance in M Continent ended two days ago. After resting for two days at her hotel, she went to Edward Kirstens current location in M Continent. Even though there was nomunication between them, Edward Kirsten clearly knew her performance schedule. So if she had a performance, there was a high probability that Edward Kirsten would be here in the days following the end of the performance. Like always, Ste Edwards arrived at this location by car. The courtyard was also as usual, full of servants and bodyguards. All familiar faces that would be in the mansion whether Edward Kirsten was there or not. Ste Edwards asked at the entrance if Henry Kirsten had arrived.
They said he had. Ste Edwards was still somewhat happy. No matter if the person in his heart was her or not, she was still happy because he came here. Ste Edwards quickened her pace a bit towards the courtyard. She first went to the front courtyard, after not finding anyone there, she went to the backyard. However, just as she was about to reach the backyard, being two to three meters away from the Moon Gate, she suddenly heard the sound of a cup shattering from inside the room in the backyard. The noise was loud, even from this distance, it could be heard that it was forcefully thrown on the ground. Startled, Ste Edwards stopped moving, unconsciously sidestepping to avoid directly standing in front of the Moon Gate. Immediately after, a sharp mor of a p was heard. And then Edward Kirstens furious roar: Alice Eugene! How dare you defy mymand and target Enigma Starry! Chapter 557: 500: Discovered Chapter 557: Chapter 500: Discovered M Continent. In the backyard room. Edward Kirsten stood by the table, his pale blue eyes seemingly bloodthirsty, wrapped in ayer of terrifying murderous aura. Alice Eugene knelt on the ground, her face pale, her forehead covered in beads of sweat, and blood seeping from the corners of her mouth. She hadid in the hospital for more than forty days before barely surviving. She was just discharged today, and when she learned that Edward Kirsten had arrived, she hurried over. At first, everything was fine, and Edward Kirsten even cared for her a bit. But after resting in the backyard room, he went out for more than an hour, and when he came back, he started fighting with her. The person who had gone with her to Mountain Sea Continent must have said something to Edward Kirsten. That person had always been secretly hostile to her and didnt even want to bring her back. Someone else brought her back, and now seeing her alive, they want to target her again. Edward Kirsten took off his coat, revealing a neatly buttoned white shirt and a gray suit vest. He looked down at Alice with his chest heaving, What did I tell you? Alice knelt on the ground for a moment in silence.
Speak! Edward said. Let me let me bring Enigma back, Alice said, trembling. How did you do it? Edward Kirsten lifted his foot and kicked her left breast, You want to kill Enigma, how dare you try to kill her! Alicey on the ground and found that she couldnt get up no matter how hard she tried. The ce where he kicked was exactly where she was injured. Although the special effects medicine given by Edward Kirsten allowed her wounds to recover quickly. But after being hit like this, it still made her feel so much pain that her whole body couldnt exert any strength. Alice, was I too lenient with you, so you think my words to Enigma are just empty talk? Edward Kirsten said softly. Alice struggled to get up, bracing herself with both hands on the ground: Henry, its precisely because you treat her too well. So well that even though you know she wants to kill you, you still want to keep her by your side. As soon as she finished this sentence, she started coughing. Edward Kirsten had kicked too hard, and Alice coughed for a while before she finally started coughing up a bit of blood. So now youre making decisions for me? Edward Kirsten coldly stared at the blood in her palm, Do my orders mean nothing to you? No. No? Edward Kirsten crouched in front of her, looking at her, I cant even bear to raise my voice to her, yet you try for her life. Isnt that going against my orders? Isnt that treating my words like nothing? I was foolish to trust you. Henry, I didnt, I wont, I will only be loyal to you alone, only be faithful to you alone. Alice suddenly panicked. Edward Kirsten looked at her without saying anything. Alice looked at his expression and his unfamiliar eyes, and her heart trembled, Henry, I never thought of betraying you. I was just worried about your safety. Enigma is no longer the Enigma of the past, its too easy for her to kill someone. Alice had never seen Edward Kirstens eyes like this before, and she felt that he no longer wanted her. She was already struggling to breathe, and suddenly she became even more ufortable. It felt as if her throat was stuck with blood, so she struggled to breathe and tried hard to speak. So when she opened her mouth to speak, her voice was louder and more exhausting, Henry, I really am worried about you, I never thought of betraying you. Enigma has been investigating 319, we are the source. Even if she doesnt care about the past, she wont let go of 319. Ste Edwards outside the courtyard, upon hearing the three digits 319, suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and immediately hid behind the tree next to the Moon Gate. The courtyard was not veryrge, and Edward Kirsten and Alice were still in the room. Ste Edwards was still two or three meters away from the Moon Gate.
But perhaps the sound instion of the room was not very good, or maybe it was because Alices voice was a bit loud, Ste Edwards heard Alices words very clearly. She also heard some of Edward Kirstens words vaguely. Although she only heard fragments, she could piece together the conversation with a little thought. Alices words were too shocking for Ste, and she couldnt digest them for a moment. She could only instinctively hide ording to her bodys reaction.
In the room. Looking at Alices tears, Edward Kirstens expression didnt loosen at all, and even seemed a bit curious. The person in front of her could actually cry too. Henry, I will never betray you, I will never. Alice looked at him and said forcefully, Its justjust that I think Enigma is too dangerous. Henry, she has already influenced your judgment. Im just worried about you. Edward Kirsten looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat. Alice couldnt breathe immediately. She raised her hand to grab his hand, but then put it down and let him choke her. Where did you hurt her? Edwards hand tightened slightly. Alices lips trembled lightly, and her eyes closed and opened again, gradually rolling up. She couldnt say anything and just shook her head slightly. Edward Kirsten choked her with his left hand, and a Spring Knife appeared in his right hand at some point. He put the knife against Alices corbone and moved it down inch by inch: Alice, besides Harris, you are the only woman who grew up with me. You should know that my father chooses killers who are never women. Alice desperately tried to breathe in the fresh air, her body slowly convulsed. You are very clear that my father kept you in the beginning as a research subject. Because your heart was interesting. Edward stopped the Spring Knife at the ce of her left ventricle, Its not here, a very special case, my father was interested and thats why he kept you.
Edward said as he stabbed the Spring Knife in, blood sprayed out instantly, sshing onto his face. But keeping you is not for you to make decisions for me. Since theres still a life left this time, I wont drive you away. After finishing speaking, he let her go, stood up, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped the blood on his hands. Alicey on the ground with her eyes closed, showing no signs of life. Just as Edward Kirsten was about to leave, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside: Henry. Edward Kirsten directly opened the room door, and two people dressed as servants stood outside, one of them grabbing Ste Edwards arm. Ste was struggling, but after seeing the blood on Edwards face and cor, she was so scared that she forgot to struggle, and even her legs began to tremble and soften. Whats wrong? Edward looked at Ste. Henry, she was sneaking around outside the courtyard, it seemed like she was eavesdropping. Edward looked at her: Is it? Ste shook her head: I, I didnt. I didnt. If you didnt, then what are you afraid of? Edward took a step outside and said to the other person, Take the one inside to the hospital. Yes.
Alice was carried out horizontally. Ste nced at the bloodstains on Alices body and trembled even more. Edward got closer to her, grabbed her other arm, and then gestured for the other person to leave. Ste couldnt stand on her own, especially after Edward touched her. She was nowpletely relying on Edward to support her. When did youe? Edwards voice was as gentle as usual. But Ste was just scared: Just, just now. What did you hear? Youre so scared. Edwardughed. I, I didnt hear anything. Chloe, lying is not good. Edwards other hand touched her neck and the blood got on her fair-skinned neck. His indifferent gaze deepened. I, I really just arrived. Ste closed her eyes tightly, feeling the coldness of Edwards fingertips, I didnt hear anything, I didnt even enter the courtyard. Edward smiled gently: Miss, lying can cost you your life.
Chapter 558: 501: Ziwei Enters Destiny Chapter 558: Chapter 501: Ziwei Enters Destiny Mr. Kirsten, someone ising our way. Edward Kirsten was squatting on the ground, releasing his hand from Ste Edwardss neck. Immediately, Ste fell to the ground, motionless. Her face was turning blue, with tears still undried on her face, and her left leg was twisted in an unnatural way. The person who came to report nced at Ste and dared not move his eyes further. Edward Kirsten didnt look at Ste either and stood up, asking, Who is the personing? Not sure. Even in such a hidden ce, were discovered, and you dont even know who the intruder is, Edward Kirsten said softly, youre really capable. The man in front of him lowered his head even more. Edward Kirsten didnt say anything else, found a mask to wear, picked up his coat, and headed straight for the back door. The enemy came violently, and soon the entire mansion was surrounded. At first, both sides were evenly matched, but Edward Kirsten didnt fight back, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides, and sneaking away with two people in the chaos.
It took almost half an hour for the noise of the fight to gradually stop. Of Edward Kirstens people, besides him and the two he took away, none of the others could escape, and all were lost here. After the fight stopped, the courtyard was searched again. Nothing useful was found, but they did discover that Ste Edwards was still breathing faintly, so they took her away ** Domestic. After Charlotte Lane got off work at the Research Institute, Harton rk apanied her to meet Jace Miles. They agreed to meet at a nearby coffee shop of Spotlight. Charlotte Lane asked Harton rk to wait in the car, and she went to meet Jace alone. By the time she arrived, Jace had been sitting inside for a while. After sitting down, Jace looked at her for a while and hesitated, I dont know how to address you. Charlotte Lane looked at Jaces haggard face and asked, Why? Youre not Daisy. I dont know how to address you, Jace didnt beat around the bush and was very direct. He didnt even ask if they wanted to drink something. You dont have to address me. Charlotte Lane admitted directly as well. Jace was surprised for a moment and touched the coffee cup in front of him, I didnt expect you to admit it so simply. Since youre so sure, if I dont admit it, wouldnt it be ridiculous in your eyes? Charlotte Lane asked, How did you find out? Online? Jace shook his head, I just visited my grandfather a few days ago. He told me. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows. Have you heard that Grand Master on Five Peaks Mountain said that The Purple Star has entered your destiny? Jace asked.
Charlotte Lane replied with a sound. It was precisely because of this that Old Master Miles had always wanted to bring Daisy Home. In fact, at that time, the Grand Master said a sentence The old person has gone, and the Purple Star has entered the destiny, Jaces tone was filled with weariness, My grandfather initially thought that the old person referred to Victoria Zane. But recently, he thought that old person should refer to Daisy. The Purple Star entering your destiny is because you took her identity. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything as she looked at him.
You took her identity in Truro City to take revenge on the Miles family, right? Jace asked. Revenge? Charlotte Lane said lightly, What is revenge? I took her identity to fulfill her wish. I went to Truro City because I had something to investigate. Her wish has nothing to do with your family. In fact, from beginning to end if your family were a little more settled, none of this would have happened. There was never any revenge, only seeking justice. Its your family clinging onto me and not letting go. Dont you think what you did was wrong? Jace asked, If you dont take Daisys identity and have nothing to do with the Miles family, you would have less trouble. Besides, the Miles family wouldnt be in this situation because of you. After all Daisy is no longer here. Listening to him, Charlotte Lane chuckled and sneered, So, you mean your motherfortably sits in the position of Mrs. Miles, and others are called Little Sam and an illegitimate daughter underground. And your grandfather, with the blood of a person on his hands, lives out hisst years in peace. Jace didnt say anything. Charlotte Lane continued, Shes gone, so you all nder her. You think, since shes gone, all the things she did are gone with her. Then you live a luxurious life exchanged for the life of someone else. Jace Miless face suddenly turned a little pale. All I ever wanted was to give Daisy Zane and udia Zane justice, Charlotte Lane said softly, and now, everything that has happened is entirely the fault of the Miles family. Jace Miles was gripping his coffee cup, his knuckles turning white. A justice that should have been given to them in the first ce. If justice is served, considering the person in front of him, she would definitely not make things difficult for the Miles family. After allhe had been working at Spotlight without any obstacles. Everything had been smooth sailing.
He had asked Anna Skyler, and yson Ninevara had known all along that he was working at Spotlight. They knew since the moment he joined. It was his family that had done wrongs, sothey had tried to destroy her, and had been targeting her all along. I never knew about the things my grandfather and father did, Jace Miles suddenly said. I always thought that my grandfather was just too greedy and my father was too filial and indecisive. Thats why I left for abroad when I was in my teens, away from their daily indoctrination. I never expected them not only to eradicate the marriage certificate, but also to kill someone. Charlotte Lane looked at the guilt and anger in him. Perhaps it was because Jace Miles hadnt grown up in the Miles family that he didnt seem much like the people from the Miles and Hobson families. Or maybe he was like Johanes Miles. It was just that Johanes had beenpletely led astray by Old Master Miles. Or perhaps like Charles Hobson. Except for being spoiled by the Hobson family, Charles didnt seem to have much of a cunning mind. I shouldnt have asked, but as their son, I still want to try. Jace Miles lowered his head, not looking at Charlotte Lane, and struggled to speak. I want to plead for my parents. Ill do anything. I just want to plead for them. No matter what, my parents dont deserve to die. Whether they deserve to die or not, thew will decide. This pleashould not be brought to me at all. Jace Miles gripped his hand and hesitated for a moment. I, Im worried Worried that I would let the rk family interfere? Charlotte Lane asked.
Jace Miles tacitly epted. We dont have that much idle time,Charlotte Lane said.Everything will be judged as it should be. If you dont ept the result, you can appeal, including me. Jace Miles didnt say anything. Charlotte Lane knew in her heart. Old Master Miles, with human lives on his hands, would never be released. As for Johanes Miles and Charles Hobson, their hands were far from clean, and once they entered, they would be thoroughly investigated. Although not punishable by death, by the time they got out, they would be too old to cause any more trouble, especially without Old Master Miles to give them advice. Do you have any other questions? Charlotte Lane asked. Jace Miles shook his head. Surprisingly, he didnt ask about Amelia Miles. Charlotte Lane thought, something seemed to have happened between the two siblings. Well, then Ill leave. She said and stood up. Jace Miles also stood up, and suddenly said, If the Miles family hadnt targeted you, and had taken responsibility for their mistakes instead of continually targeting you, would things have turned out better? Charlotte Lane looked at him. Jace Miles said, Youve never made things difficult for me at Spotlight. In factmy time at Spotlight has been very good, with excellent treatment.
Why should I make things difficult for you? Charlotte Lane countered. Jace Miles was stunned for a moment. Andthere are no ifs. Charlotte Lane put her hands in her pockets, Weigh things well. Dont bear the consequences and then think about ifs. Jace Miles heard the warning in her words. After hesitating for two seconds, when she reached the door of the private room, he suddenly asked, What kind of person is she? Charlotte Lane paused, pinched her fingertips, and whispered, All the adjectives in the world cannot describe how wonderful she is. Chapter 559: 502: Dark Radiance in Action Chapter 559: Chapter 502: Dark Radiance in Action Once mid-October passed, the weather became increasingly cooler. As a result Charlotte Lanes right to eat ice cream was stripped away once again. After getting off work at the Research Institute, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk went back to rk Manor together. After dinner, Kevin rk went to the study room to talk to Elina rk for a bit. It only took 30 minutes, but when he came out, he only found Tom Wayne and Hardy rk in the living room. Wheres Auntie? Kevin rk asked. Auntie said she was tired and took Charles Amos back to the North Court, Hardy rk replied. Kevin rk frowned slightly. Hardy rk, holding Tom Waynes arm, snuggled on the sofa watching TV, and said, Third Uncle, youre so inconsiderate of Auntie. You didnt even know she was tired, and you went to the study room with Grandfather after dinner, leaving Auntie here alone. Tom Wayne nced at Kevin rk, and upon seeing his dark face, chuckled in his heart. Kevin rk looked at Hardy rk, Sit properly.
Hardy rk subconsciously straightened her body, then cautiously nced at Kevin rk. But Kevin rk did not look at her again, and simply left. At this time, in the North Court, Charlotte Lane and Charles Amos, one big and one small, sat on the swing near the rose field. Each of them held an ice cream in their hands, seeming very happy. Why are we here? Charles Amos asked. Charlotte Lanezily said, Keep it down. Why are we here? Charles Amos asked quietly. It looks nice here. Charlotte Lane looked at the first days full moon in the sky. Charles Amos looked at the roseless roses and did not dare to refute. But there are mosquitoes here. Charles Amos said, We didnt bring mosquito repellent. Why are there still mosquitoes at this time? Do you want to eat ice cream here or go back? Charlotte Lane asked calmly. Bring mosquito repellent? Too much smoke would give their position away too quickly. Eat ice cream. Charles Amos chose without hesitation. Although Charlotte Lane said that, she still used the sleeve of her removed coat to drive mosquitoes away from him, Do you want to go to school? Huh? Charles Amos almost choked on the ice cream in his mouth. I dont think I can let you be this happy. Charlotte Lane said lightly, Its time for you to taste the bitterness of studying. Charles Amos: Your social circle is too narrow, and all the people around you are adults; you should try to get in touch with peers. Charlotte Lane said. Why? I think Im quite good as I am now. Charles Amos said softly. Give it a try. Charlotte Lane said, If it doesnt suit you, we can talk about itter.
Charles Amos did not speak. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything either. The two quietly ate their ice cream for a while, and when Charlotte Lane finished one, she opened another new one. Dad wants to change my name, Charles Amos said.
Dont you want to? Charlotte Lane asked. Edward North had discussed the matter with her, and she had told him to ask Charles Amos at the time. Not that I dont want to. Charles Amos said. My dadsst name is rk, not Jack Amos. It just feels a bit strange to suddenly change it. And why do I have toe up with the name myself? Isnt it your job? Just pick a character. Charlotte Lane said. Their generations name just happened to have the character garden. Just pick one after the word garden would do. You grown-ups are sozy! Charles Amosined. As soon as he finished speaking, the two saw a light appear in the distance on the corridor. Charles Amos immediately looked at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane also got off the swing and, holding Charles Amoss hand, said, Lets go. The two quickly took a shortcut and left. So when Kevin rk arrived, he only saw a small ice cream spoon under the swing. Kevin rk looked at the ice cream spoon:
He picked it up, threw it in the trash can, sighed softly, and then returned the way he came. By the time he returned to the room, Charlotte Lane was already sitting at the bay window, hugging herputer, looking at the experiment report that Turner Daniel had sent her. Hearing footsteps, Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rk without saying anything, and then looked back at theputer. Kevin rk leaned against the doorway and looked at her, Hardy said you were tired and came back. Yeah, I was a bit sleepy just now, but now Im not tired. Charlotte Lane said without changing her face. Kevin rk looked at her for a while, smiled, and then turned around and left. Seeing him leave, Charlotte Lane watched his retreating figure and blinked lightly. The direction of the matter it didnt go quite as she expected. Her fingers slowly tapped theputer, thinking when Kevin rk returned after just over two minutes with an ointment in his hand. She watched Kevin rk approaching. Why are you looking at me? Kevin rk walked to her side, looking down at her. Do you think I left because I was angry? Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows slightly. Kevin rk brought a chair over with his foot, sat down, squeezed some ointment, and applied it to Charlotte Lanes arm.
There were three mosquito bites on her arm. I just went to see Charles Amos, and he said he wasnt bitten by mosquitoes, Kevin rk said. Maybe his blood isnt sweet enough. Kevin rk chuckled, How many did you eat? What? Kevin rk looked at her. Charlotte Lane looked at him too. Charles Amos has already confessed, so you should confess too, Kevin rk looked at her, his eyes suddenly hardening, Otherwise Or what? Just as Kevin rk was about to speak, Charlotte Lanes cell phone suddenly rang. Both of them turned their heads to look, and the note showed a bunch of random codes. But Kevin rk remembered this chaos, it was Luke. Charlotte Lane answered the phone. Luke said directly, Boss, I have something to report to you.
Go ahead. Do you know that Dark Radiance has been very activetely? Luke suddenly asked cautiously. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rks eyes asked her a question. I dont know, Charlotte Lane replied to Luke. Luke was silent for a moment, then said, Dark Radiance has been active on various continents recently. In just half a month, they have disrupted sixty-seven 319 transactions and arrested many people. Charlotte Lanes eyes shed lightly. Seeing her not speaking, Luke continued, They say there have been several seemingly resting ces where there was fierce fighting. And in one ce during the fight, they saw a masked man being escorted away. Although they were too far away to see his face clearly, they spected that it might be Edward Kirsten. Chapter 560: 503: Counterattack Chapter 560: Chapter 503: Counterattack Whats wrong? Kevin rk noticed that something was off with Charlotte Lanes expression. Charlotte Lane said a word to Luke and hung up the phone first, looking at Kevin rk. Is there something going on with the Hundred Demons Pavilion? Kevin rk asked again. Charlotte Lane clenched her fingertip and said, Are you looking for Edward Kirsten? Maybe her question was not urate enough. They had always been looking for Edward Kirsten. Its just thatKevin rk seemed to have found him. He cornered the 319 transaction location, even forcing Edward Kirsten to flee. Kevin rk felt a little more relieved, then holding her hand, he said, Well, were still looking for him right now. Charlotte Lane was a bit surprised, how did you find him? I have summarized various entertainments ces, boxing rings, casinosin different continents. Then Ive made repeated deductions about Edward Kirstens possible psychology, and finally obtained some locations. Kevin rk said, ording to the obtained locations, I tried some methods; then I pushed back and scattered countless points from them, feeling feasible and taking action.
Kevin rks exnation was simple, but whether pushing forward or reflecting backward, its a continual process of trial and error. He even simted Edward Kirstens criminal psychology. Moreover, he used various methods, both old and new, Chinese and foreign, from the skies, and underground. He even used feng shui to check the locations. He usedbinations of two methods or even three methods. Because there were too many locations, Kevin rk believed that apart from some ces where Edward Kirsten wanted to be subjectively, other locations must have regr patterns to follow. Its just that these rules are hard to find. Kevin rk spent a lot of time and energy. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk. He could actually simte Edward Kirstens psychology. Most importantly, he had never seen Edward Kirsten, and had only based it on other peoples words and some recordings to simte his psychology. And he got it right! Edward Kirsten was so twisted. He even forced Edward Kirsten to flee, breaking the 319 transaction chain. One could say that they had taken the initiative and started counterattacks. Little girl, I didnt mean to hide it from you. Kevin rk said softly, I just wanted to tell you after making substantial progress. Charlotte Lane digested the news as quickly as possible, then asked, Luke saidsomeone fled during the fighting Kevin rk was a little surprised as to how Luke knew so much. Yes. Where?
A mansion on M Continent. Kevin rk said, Its uncertain if its Edward Kirsten. The fight was so intense, someone just caught a glimpse. Do you have information about that mansion? Kevin rk hesitated for a moment, but still told her, Yes, its in the study roomsputer. I want to see it. Charlotte Lane said.
Alright. The two went to the study room. Kevin rk sat in the chair, holding Charlotte Lanes waist and let her sit on hisp. He found the detailed photos sent from M Continent about the mansion. The photos were taken very carefully, covering almost every ce. Aplete mansion could be pieced together in ones mind. Charlotte Lane flipped through it quickly, and soon saw the peach blossom tree in the courtyard. She looked at the tree for two seconds, then nced at the other photos. It does seem like a ce Edward Kirsten would stay. Kevin rk hugged her a little tighter from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said after a pause, Little girl, Im a little jealous. Charlotte Lanes thoughts were drifting into the sky, looking over the continents. Suddenly, she was pulled back by his words: What? Im jealous. Charlotte Lane looked at the photos on theputer screen and understood. She reached up to touch Kevin rks face, and without looking back, said, I still know you the best. Kevin rk: ..
Thank God, Madam still humored me with a response. Charlotte Lane looked at the information on theputer again. Kevin rk just silently held her. In this folder, there are more than just M Continents mansion. There are also photos of some other ces. They dont seem to be transaction locations but more like living quarters. And in each ce, some of her belongings could be seen. For example, the pipa in a room, an easel in another room, a swing under a tree, and dancing murals on a wall. When she finished looking at the materials and remained silent for a while, she realized that Kevin rk holding her was too quiet. Charlotte Lane came back to her senses. Kevin rk must have seen these photos, and he must have noticed these details as well. She paused for a moment, opened a drawing tool. She quickly drew a simple roomyout. Do I know you best? Charlotte Lane moved her shoulder a little.
Kevin rk looked at the picture, which was indeed his usual roomyout. You only know about my room? Kevin rks voice was very low, right in Charlotte Lanes ear. Charlotte Lane listened to his deliberately pitiful voice, slowly curled her fingertips, took a gentle breath, and said, Not just that. What else do you know? Kevin rk said. I know you as a person, I know your thoughts. Charlotte Lane said in a low voice. Kevin rk chuckled, raised his head, and turned Charlotte Lanes head so she was looking at him. He asked with interest, What thoughts of mine do you know? Charlotte Lane looked at him, paused, and urately put her hand on his belt buckle, then loosened it for him. Kevin rk: Do you know? Charlotte Lane asked. Kevin rk suddenly didnt speak. If he said he knew, then he would admit that he had dirty thoughts in his head every day. If he said he didnt knowhe couldnt be insincere. Ill have the Hundred Demons Pavilion send some people to help you. Their people on various continents will cooperate with Dark Radiance. Charlotte Lane suddenly said.
Kevin rks thoughts came to an abrupt halt: Alright. Do you want to continue? Charlotte Lane asked again. Kevin rks thoughts encountered another U-turn: He paused, holding the back of her head, and kissed her. A kiss that was not gentle but a little fierce. After releasing her, Kevin rk kissed her lips twice more. He, of course, wanted to continue, but she had been too tired these days and hadnt been sleeping well. He couldnt bear it. On our next rest day, Ive made a reservation. Youre not allowed to go home. Charlotte Lane chuckled, lowered her eyes, and tightened his belt again. Kevin rks forehead vein bulged out: He suspected she did it on purpose. Chapter 561: 504: Want to See You Chapter 561: Chapter 504: Want to See You It was a new week and Charlotte, Harton rk, and William Lane went straight to the meeting room at the Research Institute. Ezekiel Santiago made a call for a meeting in the meeting room. When they arrived, besides Ezekiel, Turner Daniel and long-unseen Siera Santiago were also in the meeting room. Turner Daniel sat upright while Siera Santiago looked as if she had just woken up. Ezekiel Santiago looked well, showing no signs of illness. The main focus of the meeting was around the progress of some experiments that Charlotte Lane, Harton rk, and William Lane were responsible for, as well as the emphasis of the future work. At the end of the meeting, Ezekiel asked about the condition of Turner Daniel in recent days. Thetter briefly reported his situation. Then Charlotte also gave an evaluation: Not bad. These three words were already satisfactory to Ezekiel Santiago. Turner Daniel also smiled, curving his thin lips. The meeting ended, and one of Santiagos assistants came in with some files for Charlotte Lane and William Lane.
They both needed to sign off on some experimental data they were responsible for. Harton rk and William Lane reviewed all the data without finding any issues and signed off on them. When they handed the files back to the assistant, William Lane said, Looks like Assistant Qinke is busy with these trivial matters now. Assistant Qinke smiled warmly, All of it is part of my job. Ezekiel also said, Im getting old, not as energetic as before. The other assistant asked for leave to attend family matters. Peter Qinke has been working around the clock recently. You should hire another one, Siera Santiago said weakly. Even if we found one, they would need to be interviewed. And I really dont feelfortable making Peter responsible for those tasks. Lets see how things go when it gets a little easier, Ezekiel Santiago replied. Only Peter Qinke can tolerate your entricities. Finding another one would be difficult, Siera Santiago retorted. Charlotte Lane handed the files and the pen back to Peter Qinke, then nced at Siera Santiago. Ezekiel Santiago: .. With so many people here, could you give me some face? There are no outsiders here anyway, Siera Santiago said, yawning. You sure act familiar, Ezekiel Santiago huffed. Because I am, Siera Santiago pointed at Harton rk. This one is my promised bridegroom number one. Harton rks thin lips tightened a bit, subconsciously looking towards Charlotte. Charlotte didnt look at him, but she raised her eyebrow slightly. Siera Santiago pointed at William Lane, And he is my promised bridegroom number two. William Lane justughed it off casually. Siera Santiago continued, Of course, frankly speaking, this idea is entirely grandfathers C he never got around to a formal arrangement for it. Ezekiel Santiago: This girl, she leaves nothing to the imagination.
Harton rk let out a silent sigh of relief. Siera Santiago then pointed at Turner Daniel, This is my little brother. And that one Siera Santiago looked at Charlotte, She is Harton rks wife. So there are no outsiders here. I didnt need you to point that out, Ezekiel Santiago said, Move along quickly, dont wander around in front of me, Im feeling irritated.
Siera Santiago pouted. She waited for them to chat for a while more and then left the meeting room with them. As soon as they got out of the meeting room, Siera Santiago leaned against Charlotte Lane. Harton rks eyes fell on Siera Santiagos shoulder. What are you doing? Charlotte looked at her, Are you trying to pick a fight with me? I cant beat you. Thest time you hit me, it hurt for a long time, Siera Santiago leaned even closer, Jetg is so hard, Im so sleepy. Turner Daniel looked at Charlotte with surprise. Why did you suddenlye back? Charlotte, out of humanitarian concern and mainly to give face to Ezekiel Santiago, let her lean on her without resisting. I came back to protect him, Siera Santiago pointed at Turner Daniel, Hes the only heir of the Santiago family, its important to protect him. Theres also you, Charlotte replied. Me? Id rather not, Siera Santiago said, Aside from fighting, I cant do anything else. As she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and squeezed Charlotte Lanes hand. It wasnt as cold as before. Kevin rk was watching her the whole time. Seeing her push her luck by touching Charlotte again, he promptly pulled Charlotte aside and positioned himself between them. With her support gone, Siera almost stumbled, but was steadied by Turner Daniel.
She looked irritably at Kevin, her courage fading as soon as their eyes met. She shuffled to one side with Turner and muttered, Why why are you so stingy? Whats wrong with supporting each other? Your wife didnt evenin. Kevin nced at her then, holding Charlottes hand, headed straight for theboratory. After walking a few steps, he even used a handkerchief to wipe off the part of Charlottes hand where Siera had touched. Siera Santiago: !!!!! Siera looked to William Lane, questioning, Is this something a human would do? William Lane just smiled, refraining from offering anyment. Turner Daniel remained silent as well. He had grown numb, who knew what hed been through before. Ever since Kevin rk figured out the rules of the 319 trading spot. One after another, the trading spots were continuously raided. In the beginning, possibly due to overconfidence, Edward Kirsten didnt take any measures to protect the other trading spots even when many were being destroyed. They even continued operating. It wasnt until the losses became too heavy that they slowly started to retreat and relocate.
Therefore, by the time they arrived at some ces, they would find nothing but abandoned sites. However the situation still seemed to be rather optimistic for Kevin and his team. Edward Kirstens careful ns and strategies were all in vain, and he was driven to the point where he could notunch a counterattack. This was nothing short of a soul-wrenching blow for Edward Kirsten. All things seemed to be developing in a beneficial direction. The rest day arrived. Charlotte spent the first half of her rest day asleep. She didnt eat breakfast, and even lunchtime had passed. It was Kevin who, out of fear that shed starve, woke her up to have lunch. After eating, she didnt go back to sleep. She had some matters to deal with, while Kevin sat beside her, massaging her waist. Seeing the stark contrast between the two of them after pulling an all-nighter, Charlotte finally couldnt hold back and asked, Kevin rk, have you been secretly fortifying yourself behind my back? Kevin rk: Or have you been developing some kind of medication for yourself? Charlotte askedzily while looking at herputer, Were both human, why are you so energetic? Kevin reflected on himself for a moment, then responded, Ill try to keep myself in check next time.
Charlotte Lane snorted, thinking: Like Id believe you. After finishing her work, Charlotte went back to sleep, and didnt wake up until past eight oclock in the evening. She opened her eyes, looked at the dim room, was startled for a couple of seconds, then sat up on the bed. Kevin wasnt in the room. She hadnt allowed herself to oversleep like this in a long time. She used to love lingering in bed, but she didnt have the luxury of time now. She figured that today was a day to indulge in someziness. She unlocked her phone and replied to a few messages, nning to go find Kevin. Just as she was about to step on the floor, her phone rang. It was a call from Sophie Ortiz. Charlotte picked up, Mom, whats up? Sophie Ortiz first asked about her well-being, then posed her question, Charlotte, are you busy with work at the institute right now? Its manageable. Whats going on? Theres a bit of an issue, Im afraid Im going to have to trouble you with a trip to M Continent. Sophie said, Chloe Davis has had some issues and has been in the hospital. She woke up yesterday and todayshe keeps saying she wants to see you. Chapter 562: 505: Going to M Continent Again Chapter 562: Chapter 505: Going to M Continent Again Sophie Ortizs tour had long ended, and she should have already returned. But Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz said they wanted to spend some time in M Continent and attend a dance exchange meeting, so they dyed their return until now. However, it now appeared that they were not having fun in M Continent, and the exchange meeting might not even exist. They were in M Continent because of an ident that Ste Edwards had. After finishing a phone call, Charlotte Lane sat on her bed, thinking about Ste Edwardss situation. She was wondering why they hid Stes ident from her. Was it just her, or were they hiding it from others too? While she was thinking, Arthur North returned to the room. Arthur North quietly entered the room, walked inside, and saw her sitting beside the bed. Once he got closer, he leaned down and gently kissed the top of her head, Awake? Charlotte Lane turned her eyes towards Arthur North, Yes. Whats wrong?
My mother just called me. Charlotte Lane looked at him and said, She said Ste woke up and wants to see me. Arthur North looked at her, his expression unchanged, as calm as ever when he heard about things. But Charlotte Lane could tell that he knew about this. So only she didnt know, and everyone else was hiding it from her. Why didnt you tell me? Charlotte Lane spoke up, I want the truth. It was a situation that everyone had worked on together, but in the end, only he had to bear the consequences. Arthur North swallowed lightly, pulled a chair to sit opposite her, and said truthfully, It was discovered in the mansion in M Continent. When she was found, her condition wasnt very good, so we discussed it and decided not to tell you. Charlotte Lanes eyes narrowed slightly. Arthur North tentatively touched her hand, seeing that she didnt avoid him, he took her hand, We didnt want you to worry. The person was found at Edward Kirstens suspected resting ce. So, Stes ident might be rted to Edward Kirsten. Ever since Ste was sent to the hospital, she had been in aa. If she didnt wake up, many things could only be guessed at. Judging from the other resting ces. Arthur North could guess why Ste Edwards might have been in contact with Edward Kirsten. The same door dance would surely have simrities. And it was unknown whether Ste would wake up or not. It would be best if she woke up. If she couldnt wake up Charlotte Lane would bear this life on her shoulders again.
He didnt want her to always carry so much, so they discussed it and hid the matter. He was the mastermind. The person was found by Dark Radiances people, and was sent to the hospital by them. Of course, they would report to him in the end.
After he knew it was Ste Edwards, he told Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane. Hiding it from Charlotte Lane was also his idea. He should indeed bear the consequences of being discovered, and others like William Lane, were his scapegoats. Roy Madison told me not to tell you. Arthur North made the scapegoat a shield. Charlotte Lane looked at him. Arthur Norths eyes met hers. That look was hard not to believe. ButCharlotte Lane just didnt believe it. She said lightly, Third Master, do you know? Lying will only add more guilt. Arthur North: In the end, Arthur North did it for her, so she had no reason to be angry. Especially not with his face. Arthur North hooked her finger. Charlotte Lane returned the grip, then said, My mother said she has something to tell me. Only me. Should we go see her? Arthur North felt relieved in his heart.
Yes. Well leave early tomorrow morning, and Ill arrange it. Arthur North said. Alright. Charlotte Lane replied, then paused and asked, What happened to her leg? Arthur North held her hand: She was choked into aa due to strangtion. Shes awake now, and even wants to talk to you alone, so there shouldnt be any big problems. What about other ces? Charlotte Lane asked. Arthur North felt that the little girl still understood Edward Kirstens methods: Her left leg is broken. Charlotte Lanes eyshes trembled, and after a while, she asked, Will it affect her dancing? Arthur North was uncertain. At first, he just wanted to save her life. Charlotte Lane didnt ask any more questions. For a professional dancer, if something happened to her leg, it would probably be worse than taking her life. Charlotte Lane spent the night working on matters rted to the research institute and then handed over some matters to Turner Daniel.
Early the next day, Arthur North and Charlotte Lane flew to M Continent. More than ten hours. Charlotte Lane slept restlessly on the ne. Upon arrival, they went straight to the hospital where Ste Edwards was staying. Both Sophie Ortiz and Andrew Lane were there. Sophie Ortiz had also lost some weight. The few of them chatted outside the ward for a while. Charlotte Lane asked, Will her leg affect her dancing in the future? Its hard to say for now. Sophie Ortiz said dejectedly, The doctor said it depends on her recovery. Stes mood is not very good. She cries all the time. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. Arthur North squeezed her hand. Light Song, she always says she has something to tell you. Sophie Ortiz said, I asked her to tell me, but she wouldnt. Charlotte Lane squeezed her hand, Dont worry, itll be alright. Mm.
After they had finished talking, Arthur North apanied Charlotte Lane to the ward. Charlotte entered the ward, and he waited at the entrance. Ste Edwards seemed to have just finished crying, her eyes were red and still wet. When she saw Charlotte Lane, she instinctively wiped her tears again. She was lying on the bed, her left leg fixed. For so long, the bruise caused by the choke on her neck could still be seen faintly. She had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. Youre here? Ste Edwards whispered. Yes. Charlotte Lane stood by the foot of the bed, looking at her. Sit. Ste Edwards nced at the bedside stool. Charlotte Lane sat down beside the bed. Ste Edwards looked at her, and neither of them spoke. The ward was quiet for a while. Then Ste Edwards said weakly, without emotion, Dont you want to ask about my injury? Charlotte Lane remained calm, her voice cold and distant, I asked the doctor outside. She finished and added, Take good care of yourself, and youll recover. Ste Edwards looked at her for a while, then forced a smile, If my leg is ruined, I dont know what I can do in the future? I dont even know the meaning of living. Charlotte Lane rubbed her fingertips. Ste Edwards whispered again, Ive always thought I was born for dancing. And I always believed that the day I couldnt dance would be the end of my life. Chapter 563: 506: She Is Still Alive… Chapter 563: Chapter 506: She Is Still Alive Charlotte Lane was not good atforting others, so she just listened quietly. Ive always felt that dancing is the reason for my existence in this world. Ste Edwardss voice was very soft, like a weak force, as if the silence was due to overwhelming sadness with no vitality, But then I met a person Charlotte Lanes pupils shrank slightly. Ste Edwards looked out the window and continued: He was very gentlemanly and gentle. From the first moment I saw him, I felt that there was an extra reason for me to be in this world. He really liked my dancing, and he watched every repertoire of mine. He even understood the subtle changes Ive gone through since I first stepped on stage. Charlotte Lane fell into an extreme state of calm. I know we dont have much inmon. Ste Edwards was still looking out the window, I also know he is mysterious, and Ive thought that a person who doesnt use electronic devices much should be treated with precaution. But I still fell for him. He would send me a bunch of roses after each performance. No matter where I performed, his flowers would always be delivered. Ste Edwardss tone suddenly lightened up a little, Sometimes he woulde to see me personally. He would remember what I liked to eat and rmend some dishes to me. He would also remember my favorite clothing styles and then give me other styles of clothes, telling me they suited me better. Charlotte Lanes eyes darkened slightly. He would also talk about things I was more familiar with, such as dancing, and my favorite actress Daisy Zane. I always thought that everything he did was out of genuine love for me. I even thought he really liked me. More than that, when I went to see him, I would deliberately dress ording to his advice. Ste Edwards looked at Charlotte Lane, the lightness in her voice gone: Later I found out that I was just a substitute. Everything he did was just to make me resemble the person in his heart more. Right? Enigma Starry. Charlotte Lane looked at her and after a while, said: So thats the reason for your hostility towards me.
Yes, Ste Edwards admitted. How did you find out? Charlotte asked. Ste Edwardss hostility towards her began a few months ago. If she knew from Edward Kirsten, he wouldnt have waited until now to make a move against her. Moreover Edward Kirsten wouldnt tell her these things. Alice Eugene told you, Charlotte Lane said. Yes, Ste Edwards admitted again. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with cold frost: What else did she tell you? To kill me? Rece me? Ste Edwards looked at her and fell silent for a moment, then said, You really understand them. Charlotte Lane didnt speak. She did understand. But she couldnt simte and ponder Edward Kirstens psychology like Kevin rk could. As Kevin rk said, one reason was that she understood him too well, and secondly there was a shadow of Edward Kirsten in her subconscious. She used to rely too much on trusting Edward Kirsten. At one point in her world, she only had Edward Kirsten. And when this sole support copsed, it caused great shock to her. She had be used to hiding her emotions and suppressing them. So even this destructive shock and shadow was buried by her. If she didnt notice it, it really existed.
Just like when encountering Edward Kirsten, she is prone to having a low fever. Has Alice given you any practical advice? Charlotte Lane asked. Ste Edwardss reaction informed Charlotte that she had guessed correctly again. Because Alice knew that Ste Edwards waspletely different from their world. Not to mention killing, even hearing about a murder case might make her panic for a long time.
So, Alice would teach her some methods. She said you are allergic to olives. Ste Edwards said, Consuming a certain amount will cause rashes. Consumingrge amounts will lead to difficulty breathing and suffocation. She had a rash all over her body as a child. She doesnt remember if the doctor mentioned back then that eating too much would cause difficulty breathing and suffocation. She only knew that when she was in Continent A, she nearly died. At that time, she had no memory and naturally didnt know what she was allergic to. After consuming too much, she broke out in rashes and almost suffocated. Edward Kirsten apanied her for the longest time on that asion. Edward Kirsten would often stay with her at home for three to five days and then leave for a while. A week, half a month, but never more than a month. But that time he stayed with her for almost two months. Have you ever thought of doing this? Charlotte asked again. Ste Edwards stared at her, trying to discern what she was thinking from her expression. But the person in front of her was too calm, she could not see anything.
When I first found out, I indeed hated you and was jealous of you. I even felt that I was your substitute everywhere. I was in Edward Kirstens life and also in Teachers. When Ste Edwards mentioned her teacher, she suddenly lowered her eyes in shame, But after calming down, I thought about it. What did you do wrong? It was Edward Kirsten who used me as your substitute, not you. And Im not so desperate to confuse right and wrong. Especially after the things he did. My mother never praised me for my dancing. Charlotte Lane said, But she often said at home that you were very talented. It was your talent and hard work that made you who you are today. We are two different individuals. In her heart, the Lane family had three daughters. Thats why I feel guilty. Ste Edwards said, How could I think of Teacher like that? Charlotte Lane still didntfort her but asked: What was he doing that you mentioned? What happened? 319. Dont you know? 319 seems to be his production. Ste Edwardss voice gradually became weaker and fearful, I overheard it. I overheard Edward Kirstens conversation with Alice. So Edward Kirsten tried to kill me. Charlotte Lane frowned slightly: Did Edward Kirsten try to kill you because you eavesdropped on him? Yes. Ste Edwards was still scared when she thought about it. Edward Kirsten at that time was too terrifying. Wasnt that more than twenty days ago? Ste Edwards agreed. A conversation between Edward Kirsten and Alice? Charlotte Lane asked, Are you sure it was Alice? Im sure. Ste Edwards gripped the quilt, her voice getting softer, Edward Kirsten was furious with her because she wanted to kill you. He hit her, choked her, and also stabbed a dagger into her left breast, causing a lot of bleeding. I personally saw Alice being carried out of the room to be taken to the hospital. Is she still alive? Charlotte Lane whispered.
Alice? Ste Edwards thought for a moment and said, I vaguely heard Edward Kirsten say something about a research subject, how interesting it is, and that her heart isnt here. The distance was quite far, so I could only hear Alices screams, not Edward Kirstens clearly. Charlotte Lane lowered her eyes and touched her knuckles, a fleeting irritation shing in her eyes. My main purpose is to talk to you about the 319 incident. Alice said they were the source. Ste Edwardss speech slowed down, Now they are always tracking 319. I hope I can also provide some help. Chapter 564: 507: A Very Important Matter… Chapter 564: Chapter 507: A Very Important Matter It seems like you really hate him. Ste Edwards suddenly said. Charlotte Lane looked at Ste Edwards for a while, then lowered her gaze and asked back, Dont you? Me? Ste Edwards fell silent for a good while before she whispered, I hate and fear him. As Ste finished speaking, her hand gripped the quilt, and tears fell from her eyes once again. Charlotte Lane handed her a couple of tissue paper. When Stes emotions had stabilized somewhat, Charlotte asked, Do you still remember what he looks like? With her eyes red, Ste Edwards looked at Charlotte Lane: What do you mean? Do you remember his appearance now? Charlotte Lane didnt exin further but asked again. Seeing that Charlotte didnt want to say more, Ste Edwards nodded her head and replied, I do. Can you have a portrait paintere and paint him? Charlotte Lane asked. Ste Edwards nodded her head, slightly stunned.
Charlotte Lane sat for a while longer before asking, Is there anything else you want to tell me? No. Then rest and recuperate well. Charlotte Lane stood up after speaking. As Charlotte was about to leave, Ste Edwards immediately called out to her, Charlotte. Charlotte Lane looked at her. Dont tell my teacher and Uncle Charlotte. Ste Edwards said, I dont want too many people to know, especially about Edward Kirsten. Alright. Charlotte Lane replied, The portrait painter will also keep it a secret. Thank you. I should be the one thanking you. Charlotte Lane said, Your help is invaluable. Ste Edwards forced a smile on her lips. Take good care of yourself, and everything will be fine. Charlotte Lane assured her. As she left the ward, Kevin rk was waiting for her outside. Kevin rk touched Charlottes face and saw her reddened lips. He sighed inwardly, realizing that she had a fever again. Find a reliable portrait painter who can keep their mouth shut. Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk immediately understood and replied, Alright, Ill arrange it now. Where are my parents? The doctor is discussing Stes leg treatment n with them, Kevin rk replied. Lets go to the hotel and check in first. Alright.
There werent many people in the corridor, and the two of them walked side by side at a leisurely pace. After a while, Charlotte Lane said, I feel like having some red date and lotus seed porridge. Ill go buy the ingredients and make it. Kevin rk said tenderly. Charlotte Lane turned her head to look at him, hesitated, and then fell silent. What do you want to say? Kevin rk asked considerately.
I want to eat the one made by my mom. Charlotte Lane said. She remembered when she was a child; her mother, Sophie Ortiz, would only personally cook porridge when she was sick. It was never an opportunity under normal circumstances. Today, she suddenly wanted it. Her mother probably wouldnt refuse her. Kevin rk: Am I being reced? Temporarily you can say that. Charlotte Lane replied. Fine. Kevin rk smiled, Let me go and buy the ingredients first. They stayed in the M Continent for one night, and the portrait painter delivered the portrait directly to their hotel the next day. Kevin rk opened the door while Charlotte Lane was washing and rinsing in the restroom. After delivering the portrait, the portrait painter left. Kevin rk looked at the file bag in his hand. After a while, he opened it and took out the portrait.
On the portrait, the mans features were vivid. As for the appearance From a mans perspective, Kevin rk thought. Just describing the appearance alone This was an appearance that could pose a threat to his marriage. The other person was Gael Easton. When Charlotte Lane came out of the restroom, Arthur North had just folded the portrait. She paused for a moment and looked at the paper in his hand: Portrait? Yeah. Arthur North didnt move, as if he had no intention of showing her the portrait. Since he didnt move, she walked over to him. Standing beside him for a few seconds, she asked: Does it look like him? Arthur Norths hand holding the paper tightened a bit: This isnt something I can answer, is it? Then why dont you let me have a look? Charlotte Lane looked at him. Arthur North: Ste Edwards saw it, so it should be urate, right?
So you say you cant answer. There was obvious teasing and disdain in Charlotte Lanes tone. Arthur North: Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and directly took the portrait from his hand, unfolding it. The person in her memory suddenly materialized, their facial features gradually bing clear. Looking at the portrait, she could recall the way Edward Kirsten smiled. When his light blue eyes smiled, they would curve slightly. Even the way he called her seemed to be floating in her ears. Enigma. Little Enigma. After Charlotte Lane finished looking at the portrait, she folded it back up and handed it back to Arthur North: Its very urate. Give a copy to both Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion, so the next time we encounter this person, well know who to focus on. Arthur North kept his eyes down, watching her. Charlotte Lane looked up at his gaze, and for a moment, squinted her eyes. Arthur North suddenly felt a hint of danger and rubbed her head: What kind of look is that?
Charlotte Lane raised the corner of her mouth, a smile in her cold voice: Third Master, you just had that cautious look in your eyes, as if youd be easy to bully. Arthur North: Arthur North had a feeling that she just had some evil thoughts. Looking at her Third Master who would be serious and not easily bullied, Charlotte Lane sighed silently in her heart. If her Third Master was as big as Charles Amos, bullying him into tears would probably be fun. What a pity. She could only imagine it. What are you thinking about? Arthur North looked at her. Charlotte Lane came back to her senses: Nothing. Lets go to the hospital and then return to our country. Arthur North put the portrait in a file bag, and after thinking about it, still felt that the little girls look just now was quite dangerous. ** It was past 10 PM in the country. Jessica Maxwell hurriedly ran out of Julians vi. After leaving the vi courtyard of the Maxwell Family, she looked back to see no one was following. She then quickened her pace and ran towards the main road. There were no taxis in the vi area, so she didnt bother using her cell phone to call a car. Instead, she ran out, clutching her phone tightly. Not until she reached the main road outside did she slow down her pace. While walking along the road, she looked for a taxi, carefully observing the people around her. About ten minutester, she hailed a taxi. Once she got in the car, the driver asked her where she was going. Jessica Maxwell hesitated for a while before giving an address: To Imperial Capital University. The driver noticed her nervous and frightened demeanor, worrying that she might have encountered some trouble, and asked if she needed to call the police. Jessica Maxwell made up a random excuse to brush it off. Not until the taxi had driven a considerable distance did she open her phone and back up a recording. After thinking for a moment, she reached out to a ssmate from Senior Three ss and asked for Olivia Lanes contact information. After obtaining the information, she didnt rush to make the call. Instead, she waited until she arrived at Imperial Capital University and directly went to Olivia Lanes dormitory on the ground floor. She was also studying at Imperial Capital University and had met Olivia Lane at school before. However, she didnt attend school that day, as she had apanied her parents to Julians house for dinner. Moreover, with Olivia Lanes beauty and excellent academic performance, she gained poprity as soon as she entered university. So, it was easy for Jessica to know which dormitory building she resided in. Upon reaching the ground floor of the dormitory building, she hesitated for a while before making up her mind and calling Olivia Lane. Although Olivia Lane was surprised to receive a call from Jessica Maxwell, she came down after hearing her anxious tone. When she saw Jessica, her eyes were already red with anxiety. Olivia Lane asked, What happened? Jessica Maxwell suddenly grabbed her arm and urgently said: Can you contact Daisy Zane? I have something important to tell her. Chapter 565: 508: Returning to the Capital Chapter 565: Chapter 508: Returning to the Capital Its the time when everyone returns to their dormitories in the evening, and there were quite a few people at the entrance of the dormitory building. Daisy Zane took Jessica Maxwell for a walk outside, noticing that she kept holding her hand, she asked, Whats the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? I need to speak to Daisy in person, do you have her contact information? Jessica Maxwell tightened her grip on her arm, Its urgent, a matter of life and death. Hold on, Ill call her. Daisy Zane said while dialing Charlotte Lanes number. But after calling three times, the other party was temporarily unreachable. What about Third Master rk? Jessica Maxwell asked again. Daisy Zane also contacted Kevin rk, and it was the same situation C temporarily unreachable. She thought for a moment and said, They should be on the ne, not in the country. Not in the country, not in the country. Jessica Maxwells head was confused, and she couldnt think of who to turn to. She didnt even know who she could trust. What exactly is going on? Why dont you tell me first? Daisy Zane tried moving her arm but couldnt break free, Since its a matter of life and death, why not call the police? Call the police? No, we cant call the police. Jessica Maxwell stared nkly at a spot.
If she called the police, and it rmed the Maxwell Family, the Maxwell Family might try to contain the situation. Then she would be done for. Jessica Maxwell, what on earth is going on? Daisy Zane asked again. Jessica Maxwell finally looked at Daisy Zane; she stared at her for a while before deciding to take a bet and try to trust Daisy Zane. She pulled Daisy Zane and looked to the side, nning to take her for another walk. At this moment, two girls passed by on their way back to the dormitory. Although there was a distance of several meters between them, the two girls spoke quite loudly. Did you see the hot search? Dean Yue was sent to the hospital. I saw it. There was just a video of an ambnce at the entrance of the Santiago Familys house. But as soon as I clicked on it, the video was gone before I had a chance to look at it carefully. Someone must have removed it, Facebook dared not show it. So, is this very serious? Dean Yue is not young anymore. Will the Research Institute be in danger? Thats hard to say. Dean Yue is such a good person, I really hope nothing happens to him. Hearing the conversation of the two girls, Daisy Zane and Jessica Maxwell both froze for a moment. Then a few secondster, Jessica Maxwell suddenly let go of Daisy Zanes arm and turned to run away. Hey! Daisy Zane instinctively chased her for a few steps, but she was wearing slippers froming down the stairs, and Jessica Maxwell ran like a madwoman. Unable to catch up, she gave up. After standing outside for a while, Daisy Zane called Jessica Maxwell twice more, but no one answered. She then called William Lane and asked about the situation with Ezekiel Santiago. William Lane didnt say anything specific, just that he was still in the rescue room.
They were all still waiting for news. After another ten-hour flight, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane got off the ne and went straight to Thomas Firways car. As soon as they turned off airne mode on their cell phones, they saw the news of Ezekiel Santiago being admitted to the hospital.
Thomas Firway knew their flight schedule and had been waiting outside early. After picking them up, he drove straight to the hospital. Whats the situation now? Kevin rk asked. Not very optimistic. Thomas Firway said, When he was put into the ambnce, Dean Santiago was already not very conscious. Hes been in the rescue room for six or seven hours. Kevin rk felt Charlotte Lanes hand cool down slightly, and he tightened his grip. At the hospital, there were many people outside the rescue room, including members of several families from the Research Institute. Everyone looked at Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane as they approached. No one exchanged pleasantries, and there were even few people speaking. All of them had somber expressions on their faces. William Lane walked up to Charlotte Lane, saw her face wasnt looking very good, and gently touched her head tofort her for a moment. Turner Daniel and Siera Santiago also walked over to them, but there was not much interaction. After a while, Siera Santiago moved closer to Charlotte Lane and stood by her side. Charlotte Lane kept staring at the light above the rescue room and felt someone by her side. She nced over. Siera Santiago, with her red eyes, looked at her and then back at the rescue room.
Kevin rk looked at her for a moment but didnt say anything. Almost an hourter, the light in the rescue room went off. For a moment, the doctor came out from inside. Many authoritative experts went into the rescue room, but when they came out, their faces didnt look good. Charlotte Lanes heart sank for a moment, and she unwittingly tightened her grip on Kevin rks hand. The Santiago Family immediately walked up to them. The doctors shook their heads and then said, We did our best. Members of the Santiago Family became even more silent, looking like they were in a daze, with no one speaking a word. Siera Santiagos tears silently fell, and she immediately wiped them away with her hand. Old Master has something to tell you. Go in and have a look. Theres also someone named Nicholson Amos, he asked if she was here. Everyone else immediately looked at Charlotte Lane, except for the dazed Santiago Family. Charlotte Lane didnt look at their eyes; under everyones gaze, she followed the Santiago Family into the rescue room. Dean Santiago was wearing a venttor, barely maintaining his breathing.
Seeing the four members of the Santiago Family, his eyelids fluttered. Turner Daniels parents walked to the bedside and called out to him. Dean Santiago closed his eyes in response. Then he looked at Turner Daniel and Siera Santiago and said weakly, Siera, dont cry. Siera Santiago squatted beside the bed, holding his hand, nodding her head while shedding tears. Daniel, you all have to be obedient. Grandfather, I know. Turner Daniel said hoarsely. The Santiago Family its up to you now, Dean Santiago said, Dont be sad for me, Ive had a good life, a fulfilled one, a happy one, with no regrets. The Santiago family will surely get better and better in the future. Grandfather, rest assured. Turner Daniel said, his voice trembling. Yes. With you all, I can rest assured. Dean Santiago said, before looking at Charlotte Lane who was standing behind them. Turner Daniel and his father immediately stepped aside, letting here forward. Siera Santiago also stepped aside. Charlotte Lane walked forward and squatted down in front of the bed. Dean Santiago. Nicholson.
Yes. Dean Santiago propped himself up to look at her for a while, then said, Be good. Listen to me. Charlotte Lane clenched her fingertips, swallowed, her eyes moistened, and replied, Alright. Good, good Dean Santiago slowly closed his eyes, Everyone is obedient, everyone is obedient Chapter 566: 509: Charlotte Lane Chapter 566: Chapter 509: Charlotte Lane On the day of Dean Yues funeral, many people spontaneously came to pay their respects. Some even came from other ces. In his lifetime, Dean Yue made great contributions and helped countless people, whether before or after joining the research institute. The institute owes its present glory and reverence to him. Charlotte Lane, Kevin rk, and William Lane apanied the Santiagos until the end. The Celestial Pivot, the rk family, and the Lane family all brought people with them to ensure the Santiago familys safety. They did nothing themselves; just their presence was enough to exert a great deal of pressure, so no one dared to make trouble. At the end of the funeral, the Lane familys cars took the Santiagos home, not even allowing them to use their vehicles. This was because, some time ago, Siera Santiago had discovered that Turner Daniels car had been tampered with. As a result, not only were they not allowed to use their cars, but the Santiago familys bodyguards were also reced entirely.
Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz also returned. However, since Charlotte Lanes mood remained low, they let her return to rk Manor with Kevin rk. Upon returning, Charlotte went straight to her room, intending to take a bath first. She locked the restroom door and stood inside with one hand covering her eyes for a while before entering the bathroom. Before removing her coat, she habitually checked her pocket. As she took out her cell phone, a note also came out with it. She held the note, remembering the scene when Jessica Maxwell secretly gave it to her today. Jessica had gone with the Maxwell family. With Bonnie Maxwell and George Maxwell gone, the only younger generation of the Maxwells left was Julian Maxwells younger brothers daughter, Jessica Maxwell. It seemed that Julian Maxwell wanted to cultivate Jessica. Thats why Mrs. Maxwell would always bring Jessica to important events and gatherings. Its just that Jessica suddenly and secretly gave her a note today. At the time, her expression was both panicked and frightened. Even pleading. So she took the note and put it in her pocket without opening it at the time. Charlotte unfolded the note and read the words on it. [Contact me; I have something very important to tell you. This is my mobile number] Charlotte sat by the bathtub and dialed Jessicas number first. Jessica didnt say much; as soon as she confirmed that the caller was Daisy Zane, she hung up the phone and added her on WhatsApp.
Then she sent Charlotte a voice recording. Kevin rk and Hugo rk discussed some matters outside; when they returned to the room, they found that Charlotte was still in the restroom and hadnte out yet. It had been almost two hours, and she still hadnte out.
Kevin tried to turn the restroom door handle and saw it was locked, so he knocked twice: Little girl? After calling out, he knocked twice more. Soon, he heard movement inside. He waited for a while, and the restroom door opened. Charlotte, wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head, came out. She pressed her left hand to the towel and wiped her hair twice, thenzily looked at Kevin, saying, I identally fell asleep in there. Seeing the redness and weariness in her eyes, Kevin felt her side neck and found it not cold: Go to the bedchamber, dry your hair, and rest for a while. Mmm. Charlotte replied, then walked towards the bedchamber. Kevin went to the restroom to get a hairdryer. Just as he reached the washbasin, before his hand even touched the hairdryer, he stopped for a moment. He paused for a moment, then lowered his gaze. His left foot shifted slightly to the side, and a ss shard on the ground jabbed at his foot. Kevin rk stared at the ss shard on the ground for a while, then looked up at the furnishings in the restroom. He also went to check the bathroom. A ss incense burner was missing by the bathtub. The incense burner in such arge bathroom smashed outside.
Normally, identally breaking it wouldnt cause it to fly so far away. Kevin rk picked up the broken shards outside and threw them into the trash can. After washing his hands, he picked up a hairdryer and left. L Campbell sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, her right hand hanging down while her left hand continued to dry her hair. As Kevin approached, she lifted her head to look at him. They stared at each other for a few seconds before Kevin set the hairdryer aside, bent down and reached for her right hand. L instinctively recoiled. Kevin looked at her. L could clearly feel Kevin getting angry at that moment. She didnt dodge him again, and Kevin grabbed her wrist and turned her palm over. There was a three- or four-centimeter-long wound in the center of her palm, as well as on her middle and ring fingers. Because it had been soaked in water, the wounds edges were somewhat turned out, and the skin had turned white. Seeing Kevins frown, L tried to pull her hand back by moving her wrist. But suddenly, Kevin tightened his grip, and she couldnt pull back.
I identally bumped into it, L said in a low voice, Its not serious, and the wound is not deep. Kevin looked at her, redness around the corners of his eyes, his gaze fierce. Do you think Im blind? L: Im really fine, L emphasized again. Because of her nonchnt attitude, the fierceness in Kevins eyes deepened, and he called out her full name, L Campbell. After calling her name, he couldnt quite bring himself to say the rest of the words and swallowed them back. Suddenly hearing her full name, L stared at Kevin, blinking nkly for a moment. Once again, they stared at each other. L suddenly calmly said, Kevin rk, youre so fierce. Kevin pressed his lips together, looked at her for a moment, then stood up straight, turned around, picked up his phone, and made a call: Thomas Firway, get a doctor toe to rk Manor. After hanging up, Kevin exhaled softly, turned back around, picked up the hairdryer, and continued to help her dry her hair. As the hum of the hair dryer filled the room, Kevins fingers brushed through her hair. L lowered her gaze, feeling Kevins gentle touch.
After a while, she rested her head against Kevins body, inhaling the scent of eaglewood on him. Though it was the same eaglewood scent, she always found the one on Kevin more pleasant andforting. Earlier, she had just been unable to calm down, and her hand had been hurt unintentionally. Kevins expression stiffened for a second, and in a moment, he gently touched her face before continuing to dry her hair. Once her hair was dry, Kevin squatted down in front of her and looked up at her. Apart from the redness around his eyes, the fierceness was gone, and his voice had softened: Tell me, whats wrong? L looked at him, and after a while, she said, The deans illness is well controlled, and his condition is very good. It shouldnt be like this. As L spoke, a tear fell from her eye and dropped straight to the ground. When she started to cry, Kevin suddenly panicked: Little girl We should have been more cautious, L said with a nk expression, her voice still distant and calm. If it werent for the tears, it would be difficult for those unfamiliar with her to sense any fluctuation in her emotions. Weve already done our best, Kevinforted her. We could have waited for the special medicine, L said, burying her face in Kevins shoulder. Kevin held her, stroking her head. Feeling the damp warmth on his shoulder, the corners of his eyes grew redder: Thats enough, little girl, dont cry anymore. Chapter 567: 510: The New Dean Chapter 567: Chapter 510: The New Dean Three dayster, a meeting was convened within the Research Institute. Everyone was focused on the Deans position, genuinely concerned about the matter. Not just domestically, but also internationally, all eyes were on the Research Institute. Thus, the sooner the new Dean was confirmed, the better. On the day of the meeting, all twelve families of the institute were in attendance. Furthermore, not only did each family send one representative, but they had alle inrger numbers, hence arge conference hall was purposely used. The Lane Family couple and William Lane were all present. Hugo rk represented the rk Family. The Hobson Family attended as a trio. Charlotte Lane could have chosen not toe. However, she was slightly worried about Turner Daniel, so she asked Kevin rk to apany her early in the morning. Tables were arranged in four directions in the conference hall, surrounding an empty space in the middle. The sightline was clear, and one could easily see the people sitting opposite with a nce.
Everyone arrived early, taking their seats, with little conversation. Each one appeared solemn, preparing for the intense discussion ahead that would draw no blood. The Santiago Family arrived only right when the meeting was supposed to start. As Turner Daniel, his family of three, and Siera Santiago entered the conference hall with Austin Allen, everyone immediately turned their gaze towards them. However, the Santiago Family merely greeted the rk and Lane families from across the room with their eyes before sitting down nearby. After Austin Allen took his seat next to Turner Daniel, he cocked an eyebrow and greeted Charlotte Lane sitting diagonally across him. Charlotte Lane: Once everyone arrived, the conference hall suddenly went quiet for a moment. In the silence, an endless taste of gunpowder permeated. It seemed like the smallest spark would cause an explosion that could tear the sky apart. Hugo rk waited for someone to speak with a stern face. Somebody would inevitably lose their patience, exposing their desire. After he waited for a while, he inadvertently looked down to see Kevin rk, sitting next to him, ying with the diamond ring on his aunts hand under the table. Hugo rk: He regretted letting his gaze wander. More than a minute passed without anyone saying a word. Finally, Julian Maxwell spoke first. Now that everyone has arrived, lets begin the meeting. Kevin rk continued to y with the ring, without even lifting his eyes. Charlotte Lanes face also seemed somewhat hesitant. And those who echoed Julian Maxwell were all part of Julian Maxwells camp.
With someone responding, the conversation could progress. So, Julian Maxwell continued, Dean Yues death has saddened all of us. However, the position of the Dean cannot remain vacant. True. The candidate for the new Dean must be determined immediately. Correct, this is the most pressing matter for the Research Institute currently
Everyone looked at Julian Maxwell. Julian Maxwell nodded and looked towards the Santiago Family, I wonder if the Dean specified an heir before his death. The father of Turner Daniel steadied his gaze at Julian Maxwell, paused for a moment and said, Indeed, he had. Julian Maxwell seemed relieved, Thats good. This meeting will be a lot simpler, then. Since the Dean has designated a sessor, lets vote and count the ballots. Everyone also agreed. However, Julian Maxwell quickly added, Even though the Dean has designated a new Dean, I would like to say one thing. The Dean of our institute has always been the one with outstanding capability. The ability to lead the Research Institute and the capability in academics are indispensable. Charlotte Lanes eyes were now focused on Julian Maxwell. Julian Maxwell continued, We here all share amon wish, and that is to see the Research Institute continue to grow and prosper. Therefore, I hope everyone will make careful considerations, and not blindly follow. Isnt that right, Professor Yue? Turner Daniel nodded, Indeed. We are all here for the betterment of the Research Institute. At this time, the Research Institute will stand united, presenting a unified front to the outside world. We prioritize the Institute, letting go of minor grudges and personal gains. Is that not correct, Mr. Maxwell? Julian Maxwell pulled at his lips in a smile but did notment. Allonzo Hobson, noticing his forced smile, felt slightly relieved and said, Since the Dean has personally selected a candidate, they must undoubtedly be capable of taking on the role of Dean. Lets stop wasting our breath with pointless chatter. Lets announce the Deans designated candidate. Julian Maxwell nced at Allonzo Hobson, listening to him speak, but decided not to argue with him. Sitting in his seat, seemingly confident about the result of todays meeting, he calmly said, Lawyer Allen, go ahead and announce.
Austin Allen adjusted his sses, gave a genial smile, and opened the file in his hand. This is the will left behind by Dean Yue. Austin Allen organized his words and then took out his cell phone, There are also audio and video recordings. Turner Daniel looked downward at the table, holding a pen and slowly twirling it. All eyes in the conference hall were either on Austin Allen or on Turner Daniel. It even seemed that some people were prepared to oppose the announcement. Julian Maxwell and the Skyler familys representatives exchanged nces across the table. ording to the will of Dean Yue Austin Allen looked at everyone in the conference hall and said, The appointed new Dean isNicholson Amos. Austin Allens voice wasnt loud, but his words resonated like a giant boulder thrown into the sea, stirring up waves of reactions. Aside from Dean Yues family and Siera Santiago, everyone was taken aback. Proponents, opponents, and even those neutral were stunned into silence. Regardless of their positions, they all came today thinking Turner Daniel would be the sessor. But none of them could have anticipated Nicholson Amos. Having always beenposed, even Charlotte Lane was taken aback upon hearing the announcement.
Harton rk gently touched the ring on her hand and then slowly enveloped her hand in his. Compared to the others, Harton rk was calm. He had a vague suspicion, and even when Charlotte Lane inferred that things were not quite right, he had deliberately guided her. Charlotte Lane, after a moment of shock, looked towards Turner Daniel. As Turner Daniel noticed her gaze, he responded with a smile. Charlotte Lane quickly understood the situation. From the beginning, Dean Yue never intended for Turner Daniel to take charge of the Research Institute. He simply had Turner Daniel shoulder the risks on her behalf. In the Research Institute, the potential candidates were few. The younger ones were her, Harton rk, and William Lane and a few older ones. She had been granted the exceptional opportunity to join the Research Institute by Dean Yue himself. Whether it was her novel methods of addressing the suppression of 319 or her solution for researching 319, among other things. All of it made her stand out, attracting attention.
She hadnt been at the Research Institute for long, but her achievements surpassed those of others who had been there for years. With the support of the rk family and being the favored, perhaps even preferred, choice of the Dean, it made her be an attention-getting target. If Dean Yue did not explicitly groom a sessor, she would have been the most likely candidate for the next Dean. However, with a designated sessor, no matter how high her achievements, the attention on her would lessen. That is why Dean Yue had been so ostentatious in fostering Turner Daniel; it was all to protect her. Charlotte Lanes eyes gradually grew moist. Dean Yues words C make her obey, werent amand to protect Turner Daniels session. Instead, they were an instruction for her to heed his words and ept the position of Dean Chapter 568: 511: The Eldest Daughter of the Lane Family Chapter 568: Chapter 511: The Eldest Daughter of the Lane Family Gradually, everyone regained theirposure, and all eyes were cast upon Charlotte Lane. The Lane Family, the rk Family, and the Hobson Family were all caught off guard by this oue, stupefied for a moment. Charlotte Lanes eyes were red,pletely ignoring everyone elses reactions. As for the result, it was Julian Maxwell who became anxious first: Why ahould it be her?! Turner Daniel had no significant achievements in the Research Institute and was quite young. Even if his performance during these days only proved that his learning ability was good, it was not enough to take over as Dean. Those who supported him did so just because of Dean Yues regard. But eventually, they would still be skeptical of him. Therefore, Julian Maxwell was confident in todays meeting. Even if few people were on his side, it would be difficult for Turner Daniels votes to exceed half. For Turner Daniel, he didnt even have to bother winning anyone over. But if it was Charlotte Lanehe couldnt be so sure.
Austin Allen gave a slight smile: It couldnt be more clear on Dean Yues will that Nicholson Amos is the candidate for the new Dean. The will has legal effect, and I still have the audio and video recordings of Dean Yue, as well as two witnesses. Here is a copy of the will. Mr. Maxwell, do you have any doubts? Julian Maxwell choked, and his face turned slightly green. He couldnt question the will, so he turned to look at the Santiago Family. Siera Santiago crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, watching Julian Maxwell: What are you looking at? We all know. My uncle, aunt, and younger brother know too. What, you want to provoke my family? Julian Maxwell didnt expect her to be so direct. He also didnt expect the Santiago Family to willingly give up the Deans position so easily. Mr. Maxwell, you just said that were all here for the Research Institute, said Turner Daniels mother. Nicholson Amos is the most suitable candidate for the Dean. It will also be best for our development. The Santiago Family fully supports her. Mr. Maxwell, we are all here for the Research Institute, so you should support her too, right? Seeing the Santiagos attitude, Julian Maxwell remained silent for a moment and exchanged nces with the Skyler Family. Immediately after, the Skyler Family spoke: The Dean has always been one of the 12th Families. Nicholson Amoss identitymight not be suitable. Always? Where does thate from? Harton rk looked at the Skyler Family, and the entire conference halls atmosphere dropped several degrees. Where does this stiptione from? The Skyler Family faced Harton rk, clearly faltering in their stance. But remembering that this was the Research Institute and that the 12 Houses had equal power, they gained some confidence: Although there is no explicit provision, it has always been this way. The one who bes the Dean must be one of the 12 Houses. So, youre saying that my rk Family doesnt belong to the 12 Houses? Harton rk asked. Third Master rk, where does thise from? The Skyler Family feigned ignorance. Nicholson Amos is my wife, Harton rk said solemnly. Regardless of whether this provision exists, my wife is qualified to be the Dean. The Skyler Family suddenly fell silent. Julian Maxwell then spoke up: Harton rk, this is a family conference within the Research Institute, and the rk Family has no stake in it. You attending is inappropriate. Hugo rk frowned slightly. The rk Family has no stake, but the Research Institute does. As a member of the Institute, I have the right to participate. Harton rk looked at Julian Maxwell, scoffing: Besides, Im already here. What can you do about it? Julian Maxwell was choked once more.
At this point, the Ferguson Family spoke up: Nicholson Amos really isnt suitable. Even though she married into the rk Family, she doesnt have the rk surname. And these days, theres no guarantee in marriage. Theres no rule that women should follow their husbands. Moreover, she has so many identities and responsibilities. Can she really lead the Research Institute wholeheartedly? Not to mention shes a celebrity. How could a person in the entertainment industry lead the Research Institute? Wow, its the 21st century, and youre still discriminating based on upation? Allonzo Hobson sarcastically remarked, Are your families still living primitive lives, dwelling in caves atop mountains? You Dont assume everyone is as mediocre as you just because you dont have the ability to handle multiple roles. It really exposes your narrow-mindedness. Right, Enamel Cannon? Allonzo Hobson said.
Hugo rk nodded: Indeed. But I can understand. After all, their intelligence has not yet evolved. Allonzo Hobson chuckled. William Lane didnt speak, and even the Lane Family couple didnt say much, just observing the situation. The Ferguson Family spokesperson was bing increasingly infuriated by their words. At this time, Kevin rk looked at the Ferguson Family and suddenly said, Are you cursing my marriage to be unhappy? Hearing this, Hugo rk paused for a moment, raised his hand to touch his eyebrows, and hid his speechlessness. Allonzo Hobson: . Your focus is really strange. II never the Ferguson Family replied, Im just talking about the facts. Dont talk about me. Kevin rks eyes shed with a killing intent, Everyone present knows that I have a bad reputation. Its not unfounded. So, dont upset me, or I wont care about personal feelings or the overall situation. The Ferguson Family dared not say a word. Is Third Master threatening us? the Skyler Family said. Yes. So what? Kevin rks rhetorical question silenced the entire conference hall.
After a long silence, Julian Maxwell began to speak again, avoiding the matter Kevin rk cared about, and said, Fine, we wont talk about marriage. Third Master rk has no rk Family shares and does not participate in any family affairs. Within the 12th Families, its Hugo rk. You two are a couple, so naturally, Nicholson Amos doesnt belong to the 12th Families either. Normally, it was fine, but once faced with a problem, people would try to bring you down from all angles and excessively interpret any matter. Charlotte Lane finally recovered her senses and looked at Julian Maxwell, What kind of bullshit rule is this? Are you using this rule without any basis to bully me because you have no other strategies? She was extremely calm, as if she had wrapped herself up and pushed everyone else away. With her red, moist eyes, she said coldly, Julian Maxwell, this is Dean Yues dying wish, I will take this position. Put away your disgusting face. Youll take it? Julian Maxwell sneered, What do you have to be the Dean? Do you think that with your identity outside the 12th Families, you can get more than half of the votes? Even without more than half of the votes, if I want to be the Dean, what can you all do? Charlotte Lanes eyes swept over everyone present. The people in the conference hall were all intimidated by Charlotte Lanes aura. The Santiago Family had to admit her aura was impressive, but despite her youth, managing the Research Institute wouldnt be a problem. Austin Allen had never seen her like this, and he felt a little scared. Allonzo Hobson took a deep breath, thinking to himself: Todays meeting cant proceed peacefully, this couple might really disregard the situation and take over the Research Institute. Do you want to grab it forcibly? the Skyler Family angrily said, Is this Research Institute a ce where you can do whatever you want? Do you think the rest of our families are weak and easily scared? Your true colors are exposed so quickly. You two are so aggressive and ruthless. How can you lead the Research Institute? Julian Maxwell also said, In the 12th Families, there is nobody like you. It should be a relief. As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking ss echoed in the conference hall.
Everyone looked over. Sophie Ortiz swung her hand and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground. Although she didnt use much force, the sound of it breaking on the floor silenced the conference hall. Sophie Ortiz took a deep breath, her eyes moved from Skyler Family members to Julian Maxwell, and she said coldly, Julian Maxwell, its a disgrace that the 12th Families are associated with you. Andrew Lane gently lifted his eyebrows, seemingly already used to this kind of regr operation. You You, what you? Shut up. Sophie Ortizs eyes moved away from him, her expression disdainful, as if one more nce would disgust her, You say that those who are not part of the 12th Families dont have the right to inherit, and that Kevin doesnt have the right to participate in rk Family affairs. Fine, I agree. The Skyler and Ferguson families said nothing more. Julian Maxwell didnt say anything either, but he furrowed his brows in confusion. Why did the Lane and rk Family suddenly start this drama? Just as he was puzzled, Sophie Ortiz slowly and coldly said, Since Kiara Lawrence, as the daughter-inw of the rk Family, is not qualified Enduring the disgust, Sophie Ortiz turned to Julian Maxwell again and said, word by word, What about how it is as the daughter of our Lane Family, the eldest daughter of the Lane Family? Is that qualified enough? Chapter 569: 512: Dean… Chapter 569: Chapter 512: Dean The news of the Eldest Miss Lane getting lost was not widely known. Some people even didnt know how many children the Lane Family had. However, the people in the conference hall today happened to know about this. For ten or more years, they thought that the Lane Familys daughter would never return. Unexpectedly, not only did shee back, but they also met her today. Sophie Ortizs few words left everyone a bit confused. Julian Maxwell was silent for a while, and then said, Mrs. Lane, dont talk nonsense. The eldest daughter of the Lane Family? Where is she? Is Mr. Maxwell going to treat his ears? Or should I check his brain? Allonzo Hobson said, Mrs. Lane has made it clear, didnt you understand? The daughter-inw of the rk Family, Kevins wife, Nicholson Amos, is the Eldest daughter of the Lane Family, Charlotte Lane. Do you understand? How is that possible! Julian Maxwell refuted in haste, raising his voice a bit. Why isnt it possible? Sophie Ortiz asked back, Is my Lane Familys daughter fake? What evidence do you have to prove she is Charlotte Lane? Julian Maxwell said, Im afraid, you people intentionally said that to make her eligible to run for the position of Dean. Why does my daughter have to prove herself to you? Sophie Ortizs voice rose a bit too, No one can rece my Lane Familys daughter. This is the identity of my familys eldest daughter, and only she has the right to hold this identity.
William Lane calmly nodded his head. Andrew Lane also leisurely nodded. The four members of the Santiago Family sat opposite to them, staring nkly at Charlotte Lane, their faces expressionless. The always smiling face of Austin Allen suddenly sank, and he stared foolishly at Charlotte Lane. If it wasnt for the asion, he would want to immediately call his brother. That is the Lane Familys daughter! That is the Lane Familys eldest daughter! Phoebe Turner grabbed Allonzo Hobsons clothes, spinning him around to face her, her eyes full of disbelief and shock as she stared at him. Allonzo Hobson nced at his mother and father, then nodded at them. Phoebe Turners eyes widened even more, disbelievingly nced at Charlotte Lane, and then pinched Allonzo Hobson. Allonzo Hobson silently gasped, rubbing his arm, whispering, Mom, what are you doing? Youve grown up with such a hard wing, and you dont even share the news with your mother anymore., Phoebe Turner whispered, I missed so many first-hand news. And its such a big thing. Allonzo Hobson made a bitter face: Ill definitely tell you first next time. How can she be Charlotte Lane? Julian Maxwell still couldnt believe it and didnt want to believe it. Sophie Ortiz gave him a nce and ignored him. Kevin rk took over the conversation, I cant participate in the rk Familys affairs, but as the son-inw of the Lane Family, I am now eligible to participate, right? William Lane tilted his head to look at him. That look was clearly asking where he got the nerve to say that. Hugo rk continued to remain silent. Allonzo Hobson closed his eyes, preventing himself from rolling them. Andrew Lanes face suddenly darkened a bit.
What son-inw? Whose son-inw? The word son-inw was so unpleasant. Tsk, his teeth hurt a little. Everyone in the conference hall fell silent for a moment. Kevin rk didnt care about the reactions of others, holding Charlotte Lanes hand as he continued, Now that its like this, lets move on to the next step. Voting.
Yes, hurry up; Im waiting to go home and sleep after voting. Allonzo Hobson said. Nicholson Amos is the eldest daughter of the Lane Family, one of the 12th Houses. She was personally selected by the Dean. Kevin rk slowly said, And Nicholson Amoss contributions, achievements, and abilities are all well-known to everyone in the research institute. Charlotte Lane sat in her seat, more than half of her thoughts lingering on Dean Yue. Fortunately, she wasnt alone anymore. She had her parents, Kevin rk, and friends who would stand in front of her. She didnt need to strain the rest of her thoughts to engage in this bloodless battle here. Anyway, were back to the topic. Were all sitting here today for the Research Institute. Kevin rk continued, How to choose, how to maximize the benefits for the Research Institute and ourselves, the pros and cons should be clear to everyone. Everyone turned their attention to Kevin rk. Kevin rks voice was calm, and his speech slow: After all if you dont agree, the deans position wont be yours in the end. So you might as well think carefully about whats best for yourself and the Research Institute. Andrew Lane looked ahead, but his mind was filled with Kevin rks words. This kid Was indeed difficult to deal with. In just a few words, hed spoken to everyones heart.
There was no doubt that everyone cared about the Research Institute, and some had devoted their entire lives to it. Those who truly cared about the Research Institute naturally had their minds made up about their choice. And those who only cared about their own interests were also touched by Kevin rks words. Charlotte Lane managed to reel her thoughts back a bit and nced at Kevin rk. He looked back at her, giving her a gentle smile. His fingers tapped her hand to reassure her. Everyone tacitly refrained from rushing the proceedings, and the meeting seemed to pause, quieting down. It wasnt until another 5 minutes had passed, giving everyone enough time to think, that Turner Daniels father and Kevin rk exchanged nces and said, I guess everyone has thought it through. Lets vote. William Lane nodded. Alright, Xavier Dominic responded. Julian Maxwell wanted to say something, but his lips moved without making a sound, and he ended up sitting silently in his seat with a pale face. Seeing that no one had any objections, Turner Daniels father said directly, If you agree on Nicholson Amos to be the next dean, write agree, otherwise, disagree. We all know the process, so I wont waste words. Please write your decision. There was a tablet on the table for each family. After everyone had written their agreement or disagreement, therge screen in the conference hall would show the voting results.
Three minutes were given to vote. Turner Daniel saw that everyone had finished voting and turned on the conference hall screen with the remote control. The results of the vote were clearly disyed on the screen. More than half of the votes were in favor. Seven families agreed, two abstained, and three disagreed. After seeing the results, Xavier Dominic was the first to p. The Santiago Family followed suit, with Hugo rk and the Lane Family joining in. Kevin rk kindly said, Congrattions, Dean Lane. Charlotte Lane didnt have much of a reaction; she just blinked lightly when Kevin rk spoke. Her ambitions were indeed great. She was also used to fighting and striving for what she wanted on her own. But this deans position was secured for her by others protection. At this moment, it was more about fulfilling Dean Yuesst wish.
She struggled to suppress her emotions, not letting anything leak out. Brook Sister, congrattions, Xavier Dominic hastily offered his blessings, bypassing Hugo rk. Hugo rk, in disgust, peeled Xavier Dominics hand off him, and then said, Congrattion, Auntie. Charlotte Lanes eyes were continuously red, and her expression was somewhat rigid. She just smiled politely at them Chapter 570: 513: Dean Yue’s Letter Chapter 570: Chapter 513: Dean Yues Letter Charlotte Lane spoke only one sentence after being elected as the next Dean. Enough talk, see you in half a year. Half a yearter, the position of Dean will be voted on again by the twelve families. In half a year, the ability to serve as a Dean will be evident enough. Words matter less than actual performance. As the meeting ended, Julian Maxwell left the conference room without looking back, followed by the hurried departure of the Skyler and Ferguson families. As they left, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly rxed. The remaining families congratted Charlotte Lane and exchanged a few words with her before leaving. Charlotte Lane thanked them all politely. When almost everyone had left, the Santiago family approached. Siera Santiago squeezed herself between Harton rk and Charlotte Lane, looking at Charlotte sideways, Youre really Charlotte, huh?
Harton rk frowned and moved aside helplessly, making room for her. Charlotte turned to Siera and said quietly, I remember in the sixth grade, you took 20 USD from me and never returned it. William Lane and Xavier Dominic, who were talking to each other, all looked over when they heard this sentence. Siera blushed and stuttered, That was so long ago, and you still remember? I went to a different schoolter, besides, youre Charlotte Lane. You beat me so badly at Mountain Sea Continent. Im quite sure you insulted me first, Charlotte retorted, You started it. I didnt know it was you, Siera muttered under her breath. I didnt know it was you either, Charlotte said softly, If Id known it was you insulting me, I wouldve hit you harder. Siera: me Thomas Firway. Yes, Charlotte agreed, He bears the primary responsibility. After their conversation ended, Turner Daniels mother exchanged contact information with Charlotte Lane. After a while, as they were about to leave, Turner Daniel called out to Charlotte Lane. Everyone else left the conference room, leaving the two of them alone. Suddenly, I dont know what to call you, Turner Daniel said. Keep calling me what you used to, Charlotte replied. Turner Daniel nodded and handed her an envelope: A letter from Grandpa. Charlotte looked down at the words For Nicholson Amoss Personal Reading on the envelope and took it with both hands. Ever since Grandpa fell ill, he began to arrange everything, Turner Daniel whispered, Just in case. Its best if he can hold on until the Special Effects Medicine is sessful. But in case he cant, hes worried hell suddenly fall into aa and wont have time to exin anything. So he prepared everything in advance. Charlotte looked down at the letter without saying a word. Grandpa wanted me to get along with you and had you take me under your wing for two reasons, Turner Daniel continued. First, so you would consider our rtionship and protect the Santiago family in the future. Second, to make me wholeheartedly support you. Hes worried Ill be unsatisfied and hold a grudge. Dean Yue is overthinking it, Charlotte said.
Turner Daniel smiled, Are you so confident in me, Daisy? If it werent for the Deans attack on M Continent, you wouldnt have nned to enter the Research Institute, Charlotte said. If you didnt even want to enter the Research Institute, how could you care about the position of Dean? Turner Danielughed again, True. I chose my university major specifically so I could enter Ryan Easton. That was my priority over entering the Research Institute. What about now? Charlotte asked.
Now Turner Daniels eyes tensed up, Now I want to follow in Grandpas footsteps and do something for the Research Institute, for pharmaceutical formtions. Charlotte nodded slightly, Thats good, too. Being elected as Dean should be a happy event. But it was evident that Charlotte was not happy. Even when she was talking with them, she was forcing herself to carry on. The Lane Family felt a deep sympathy for her. I also wanted to take her home. But in the end, she went back with Kevin rk. They are her parents, her siblings. Often, they cannot reach the fragile ces in her heart. She only shows her vulnerability to Kevin rk. Rather than having her go home and pretend everything is fine with her family, its better to let her be with Kevin rk and feel more at ease. Charlotte Lane got into the car with Kevin rk, and after they were in the car, she read the letter from Dean Yue.
[Little New: Actually, when I was writing this letter, I didnt want you to see it. Butyouve opened it now. So its up to you to deliver it to the addressee. I want to apologize for pushing you into this position at this time. When I broke the rules and gave you the opportunity to join the research institute, I had ns to hand it over to you one day. Im getting old and should have retired a long time ago. Its just that I never found a suitable sessor. There are many people in the research institute, both young and old who seem capable of taking over. They might be good at research, but as for the position of the dean, no one can shoulder this responsibility. I had thought about having Kevin rk seed me, but he is elusive and unpredictable. Then I met you, and after a period of observation, I am very satisfied with you in all aspects. So I immediately removed him from the list of sessors. Originally, I nned to wait until the research institute was peaceful and settled before handing it over to you. But then I suddenly fell ill, which I did not expect. Thats why I did all this, just in case. Child, dont feel burdened. What Ive done is not for you but for the research institute. Or rather, I havent given much thought to your wishes in doing what I did for the institute. So you dont need to feel guilty. I also have my own selfishness. I hope you can protect the Santiago family and Turner Daniel.
It could be said that I am using their affection to exploit you. With you in charge of the research institute, I can rest assured. I believe that the research institute will be better and better under your leadership] Kevin rk sat next to Charlotte Lane. He didnt look at the contents of the letter but saw her tears fall on the paper. Little girl Kevin rk reached out to touch her head. Charlotte Lane clutched the letter and, after a while, turned around and buried herself in his chest. Kevin rk held her tightly, kissed the top of her head, and said, L, well protect the research institute and make it grow. Thats the best way to repay Dean Yue. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. Thomas Firway was driving in front, and after a nce at the back, his mood also became downcast. Kevin rk felt her injured hand clutching his clothes, so he took her hand and held her fingers. He didntfort her further, he just patted her back gently, letting her express her emotions. The car was very quiet, and Thomas Firway drove smoothly. Gradually, quiet sobs and suppressed cries filled the car.
Kevin rk felt a pang in his heart and slightly furrowed his brows. Unlike thest time she injured her hand, Charlotte Lane didnt deliberately cry in front of Kevin rk to divert his attention. This time she couldnt help it This letter was left by Dean Yue, fearing that she would feel guilty for Turner Daniel taking risks on her behalf. Its true that the research institutees first for Dean Yue, but protecting her is also important. Chapter 571 - 514: Wait for Her to Be Utterly Discredited Chapter 571: Chapter 514: Wait for Her to Be Utterly Discredited Mr. Maxwell, what should we do now? Nicholson Amos turned out to be Charlotte Lane, and she smoothly became the dean. A member of the Skyler Family said, Now, not only have we offended the Dean, but weve also fallen out with both the rk and Lane Families. Who would have thought that Ezekiel Santiago would suddenly pull something like this? Our initial target was Turner Daniel, but it ended up being Nicholson Amos. A member of the Ferguson Family also said. The situation has be dire now. Although the twelve families are equal within the Research Institute, offending the rk and Lane Families will bring us misery in the future. The Skyler Family said. Wasnt her name Daisy Zane? Wasnt she from the Song Family in Truro City? How did she be Charlotte Lane? Right, lets utilize public opinion against her identity. It wont be of much use. Julian Maxwell said in a low voice, Many have already questioned her identity online. Netizens already have their doubts, and its not going to harm her significantly. Then what should we do? Kevin rk is notoriously ruthless, and Nicholson Amos doesnt seem easy to deal with, just like a cold-faced assassin. A member of the Skyler Family said, With these two devils, how can we live peacefully in the future? Thats right, Mr. Maxwell. A member of the Ferguson Family also chimed in, Please think of a solution for us. What should we do? Julian rubbed his brows, feeling incredibly annoyed inside, yet still polite to the two families. After all, if Charlotte Lane were to be dismissed, He would still have to rely on these two families to support his rmended candidate. You dont have to worry; I have ways to deal with Daisy Zane. Julian said, Whether she is the dean or not, I wont let her stay. Just go back and wait for the news. The members of the Skyler and Ferguson Family exchanged nces. Both had heard that the tragic fate of the Maxwell siblings was due to Daisy Zane. Therefore, they didnt really have a ce in the resentment towards her. It was natural for the Maxwell Family to take care of her. As long as Mr. Maxwell has a n, thats good. Well, then we wont bother you. We will wait for your good news. After they left, Julian sat at home for a while, calming his emotions. Then he returned to his room to make a phone call. When the call was connected, he directly asked, Do you know about Daisy Zane being Charlotte Lane? There was a brief silence on the other end: I dont. What about her bing the dean by Ezekiel Santiagos arrangement? Oh? The person on the other end spoke with interest, The old master has chosen her as the dean. Wasnt it supposed to be for Turner Daniel? This is even more interesting. Listening to his light tone, Julian felt even more irritated, but he managed to suppress it and asked, Isnt it time for you to take action on the matter? Is Mr. Maxwell getting anxious? Yes. Julian admitted, Ive always wanted her dead. Now shes even taunting me. I want her to die immediately. The person on the other endughed lightly, Tomorrow, Ill deliver the medicine Ezekiel Santiago regrly takes to his family. And then? Then If they dont call the police, Ill do it myself. The person on the other end said, Itll happen over the next few days. Mr. Maxwell, just wait for the good news. Wait for Daisy Zane Charlotte Lane to be discredited and defeated. On the same afternoon, as Charlotte Lane was elected as the dean, the official website of the Research Institute announced the voting results. Nicholson Amos was the name used on the official website. As soon as it was announced, Thements and likes below the Facebook went up by tens of thousands. Thest time thements on the official website increased at this rate was when it was revealed that Daisy Zane was Nicholson Amos. As people congratted and celebrated, Doubts gradually emerged as well. [Isnt there some kind of conspiracy going on? Daisy Zane has only been in the Research Institute for a short while, and shes already be the dean.] [Is this the rk Familys secret maniption? There are many qualified individuals at the Research Institute, why grab the limelight? How is this? Are the deans now appointed based on looks?] [What nonsense are you all talking about? Do you know the level of Nicholson Amos? Her aplishments range far and wide. Please use the inte to check. Look at her established methods, her published thesis. She is by no means inferior to anyone at the research institute, even more of a contribution than they have!] [Dont talk nonsense if you dont know anything. If you dont understand, dont pretend to. Donte here for some cheap poprity. Acting like youre all that. Do you think everyone in the research institute is stupid? If she had no ability, would the votes have passed? Would the Dean choose her?] [Do you deserve to question her abilities? Or are you questioning Dean Yue? What are you even?] [But Daisy Zane is not an inside person of the 12th Families, why is she eligible to participate?] [Strictly speaking, Kevin rk is not considered an insider person from the 12th Families member within the Research Institute, so why her? Are you saying there is some maniption behind the scenes?] [How is Third Master rk not a member of the rk Family? What is this logic? By not having shares, does that sever the rtionship? Are there changes to the DNA for not having shares? Not part of the rk Family anymore? Do you have some problem? Has your brain fallen off your neck?] Some people are intentionally stirring up trouble online, wanting to use public opinion to condemn Charlotte Lane for using Daisy Zanes identity. So they kept making a fuss about her not being an inside person of the 12th Families. One hot search followed another. Thements below the official website were also filled with negative remarks. The matter got too heated and involved the Research Institute, so they had to respond. First, the Santiago Family contacted the Research Institute and issued a statement. It exined that the Research Institute never stipted that the Dean must be an inside member of the 12th Families. It also exined the fairness of the conference voting process. Butizens still didnt ept it. They began attacking the rk family and the Research Institute. They used the rk Family of secretly manipting the votes, buying over rtionships and threatening other families. They also used the Research Institute of corruption, saying that they deliberately announced Daisy Zane as the Dean to the public. Back then, the Deans were all insiders of the 12th Families. Anyway, they refused to let go. Half an hourter, the official website of the Lane Family responded. [Just saw the messages online and decided to rify some things. We originally wanted to keep a low profile, butthe situation now seems not to allow it. Todays protagonist of the online events, Nicholson Amos, who we all know as Daisy Zane, is our daughter Charlotte Lane, who went missing for eleven years. Donte here questioning us, saying that we only gave her the identity of the Lane Familys eldest miss just to make her the Dean. My daughters identity in the Lane Family is not something that anyone can have, nor anyone can be capable of. Other than her, her true self. We, the Lane Family, will not give anyone the position of my daughter for the sake of their rtionship or ego. Soeveryone, mind your own mouths. As for the other matters, regarding the doubts about Daisy Zanes identity, it will be exined by L Campbell personally in the future.] After the Lane Family issued its statement, the Research Institute updated their response again. It reiterated once more that the Dean does not have to be from within the 12th Families. They even released the eligibility criteria for the Dean election. Then the official website of the rk Family also issued a statement: [Weve already said that it was a marriage proposal that day. Instead of guessing about Third Master rk, who is already married, why are you all insisting on guessing about Young Master rk and Young Master Lane, sighing jpg.] Dealing with these online messages was all done by Harton rk, in consultation with the Lane and Santiago families. Charlotte Lane was never involved, and she didnt even know what was happening online. She returned to the Rose Garden after leaving the Research Institute. Aftering back, she washed and rinsed up before going to bed. She needed rest after several days of intense thinking and emotional upheaval to restore her energy. Chapter 572 - 515: This is Your Uncle Chapter 572: Chapter 515: This is Your Uncle [Ladies, let me make this clear today. If anyone dares to question Charlotte Lanes status again, I swear I will y a father role for all of you.] [This is my solemn oath, if I ever defend her identity or argue with anyone about it again, I will only use a 2Gwork for going online.] [This is just unfair. Im here arguing and fighting. And whats the conclusion? She is Charlotte Lane! She is Charlotte Lane! I! I! Why would I need to worry about a youngdy of nobility? Am I worthy!?] [To be honest, if I took a brick from the Doomsday Hotel, I could live a life of luxury for the rest of my lifetime, without a care in the world.] [Oh my God. Thats the Lane Family. Thats the Lane Family. I often see circles of so-called famous richdies mocking at Brook Sister, a nobody climbing up to the rk Family and bing a phoenix. Our Brook Sister was born a phoenix.] [Ive seen it too. They always get together and analyze Brook Sister. Now theyve been pped in the face. What kind of family, what kind of famous richdy canpare with the Lane Family.] [Why do they analyze Brook Sister so often? Because they are jealous. This round, it really felt good to let out a breath.] [What did I do to deserve watching a TV series starred by the eldest daughter of Lane Family.] [Damn it, in my lifetime, I actually witnessed a marriage alliance between the rk Family and the Lane Family. What a major event I am witnessing.] [Wait,dies, Ive noticed something. Charlotte Lane and Third Master rkdont they have an age difference?] [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!] [Its more than that. If Brook Sister is Charlotte Lane, then their age difference widens. Third Master is six years older than Brook Sister!] [Uncle who is six years older. Suddenly Third Master seems a bit old.] [Im going to say hi to our Uncle.] [Wait, Im going too.] [Is this really okay? You guys are too mean. Have you ever thought about how Third Master feels? I dont think we should behave like this. Count me in, our Uncle needs some support.] At around seven oclock in the evening, Kevin rk was looking at thements on his Facebook post. All of them called him Third Uncle, Uncle, Uncle rk. HIs head throbbed with pain. Histest Facebook post was still from a long time ago. Thements below had been thoroughly reced. Thinking about it, since he started using Facebook He has always been ridiculed online. Him, the almighty Chairman of the Easton Group, the fearsome Third Master rk, constantly being made fun of Its just wonderful. Upon seeing this, Henry Horton kept sending himughing messages. Kevin rk just blocked him. After a while, Thomas Firway brought a food box in, knocking on the door: Third Master, Mom made it herself. My mom cooked? Kevin rk put down his phone, surprised and raised an eyebrow. Yes. Thomas Firway nodded, then said, But she only made some for Third Brother. Kevin rk: Okay, biological mother. So what about my food? Kevin rk asked again. Thomas Firway was shocked, his facial expression stiffened, stammered, I, I was in a hurry, a hurry to bring food to Third Brother I forgot to bring yours. Kevin rk stared at him for a while. Running to the rk Manor, just to bring one persons meal. If his biological mother did not cook, it wouldnt hurt to bring some from home. Thomas Firway lowered his head, not daring to look up: I, Ill go get it right away. After a while, Kevin rk looked away: Forget it, just have the Aunt at the Vi make something. Third Master rks status kept falling, even his quality of life deteriorated a bit. Yes. Did you find out why the Hundred Demons Pavilion came to the domestic market? Kevin rk asked again. At the mention of this, Thomas Firways voice grew a little louder: I asked. But James Collins didnt tell me. He said not to steal the secrets of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. Kevin rk: .What use are you to me. Thomas Firway moistened his lips, quieted for a while and said, There should be no problem. Its just a dozen or so people, and theyre in Imperial Capital. Wed know at the slightest stirring. Alright, go on. Thomas Firway took a few steps towards the exit, then promptly stopped. Third Master, you should call your Third Bro too. Our meal would cool if we dont eat now. I dont need you to tell me. The tone of Third Masters voice suddenly grew cold. Hearing this, Thomas Firway quickly opened the door and ran out. After sitting in the study for a while, Kevin rk took a food box and headed to the bedchamber. The bedchamber was without light, pitch ck. He walked in the dark to get inside. He turned on themp at the foot of the bed. The dim yellow light illuminated the room. Charlotte Lane was still sleeping. Shey on her side on the bed, her quilt covering her head, exposing only a few strands of hair. Kevin rk walked to the head of the bed, put down the food box, then sat beside the bed and pulled open her quilt. He knew Charlotte Lane was aware of his presence, yet she remained motionless. Little girl. Kevins hand reached under her neck, gave it a gentle touch, then he leaned down and kissed her cheek once. Wake up, have some food. Charlotte Lanes eyes were closed. Her eyshes twitched slightly, but she gave him no response. We can sleep after weve eaten. Kevin rk looked down at her face, his hand sneakily caressing here and there, as if admiring a precious treasure. Charlotte Lane removed his hand, trying to pull the quilt over her head; she failed. She knitted her brows lightly and mumbled, I dont want to eat. Kevin rk kissed her again, At least have a little bit. No. Charlotte Lane gently pushed him away, You go sleep in another room tonight. Kevin rk was taken aback, Isnt it too much to ask to sleep in separate rooms? Charlotte Lane ignored him. I wont do anything, you know? Kevin rk pinched her earlobe, You feel I take up half of your bed? Charlotte Lane pushed him away again. Kevin rk grabbed her hand, his voice soothing, Sleep after you eat. My mom personally cooked this meal just for you. Can you give her a bit of face? Charlotte Lane forced herself to open her eyes. Kevin rk smiled, then kissed her lips again. He then stroked her face and held her at the back of her neck, making her sit up. Looks like my moms face outweighs mine. You just realized it? Charlotte Lane yawned and asked, What time is it? Why did you make a trip to rk Manor for a meal? Around seven thirty. I was initially nning to head for Doomsday Hotel. The journey was about the same, so I went to rk Manor. Kevin rk opened the food box and took out the food, Eat a bit, then go back to sleep. Hmm. Charlotte Lane responded and then reached for her cell phone. Upon opening her cell phone, the piles of messages almost caused her phone to explode. She wasnt sure which one to check first. Whats going on online? Charlotte Lane directly asked. Kevin rk poured her a bowl of soup, Everyone knows that you are Charlotte Lane now. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything, nor did she react in any particr way. This was somewhat expected. While she was eating, Kevin sat beside her. After a while, he asked, Does the arrival of the Hundred Demons Pavilion faction in the capital indicate any ns? Charlotte Lane was concentrating on her food, only when he asked did she look up at him, Whos in the capital? James Collins team. I dont know. No one told me. Said Charlotte Lane, her voice was cool, yet firm, Has there been any trouble? Seeing the genuine ignorance in her eyes, Kevin rk felt a pang of relief, No. They just suddenly came to the capital. It was rather curious. Luke has the power to make decisions, many things dont have to go through me. Charlotte Lane said, There should be no trouble. Hell leave after finishing the task. He wouldve told me otherwise. Hmm. Without further words, Charlotte Lane eagerly continued her food. A quiet sigh of relief echoed in her heart.

Chapter 573: 516: Not Breaking One’s Word Chapter 573: Chapter 516: Not Breaking Ones Word The inte buzzed with activity, but Charlotte Lane didnt watch, nor did she respond in any way. Holt Lawrence tracked down the person behind the online provocations and sent their information to her, but she didnt bother with it. She slept in until seven oclock the next morning. She and Kevin rk went to the Research Institute. Since he was just elected dean, there were many procedures to go through. Kevin rk went to theb. Charlotte Lane, apanied by Turner Daniel and Siera Santiago, spent the whole morning handling paperwork. Once the paperwork was done, she was officially confirmed as the dean. At noon, they had lunch together, and Charlotte Lane entered theb. After half an hour in theb, she left on her own. She took a taxi to Imperial Capital University and called Olivia Lane out. Sister! What brings you here? Olivia quickly grabbed an electric vehicle and rushed to the entrance of the campus when she received Charlottes call.
Seeing Olivia riding a small green electric vehicle, Charlotte smiled, It seems like youve been enjoying college life. Just average., Olivia said, Sister, why did youe all of a sudden? Im too tired and need to rx., Charlotte replied, Thats why I came to hang out with you. Linking her arm with Charlottes, Olivia said, Sis, you chose the right person. Im very experienced when ites to having fun. Just so happens my friends family opened a new amusement park that hasnt opened to the public yet. Let me take you there to unwind. Sure. ButKevin rk isnt with you today? Olivia was busy contacting her friend as she said this. He doesnt know I came out., Charlotte said. Sister, I must praise your clever move., Olivia replied. Smiling, Charlotte asked, Does he really not like socializing? Sister, let me put it this way. Ive only ever met two men who scare me. One is Kevin rk, and the other is Hugo rk. One is a ck-hearted fairy and the other is a cold-faced killer., Olivia said. Charlotte chuckled softly and nodded in agreement, That describes them quite urately. The sisters yed at the amusement park for over three hours. They tried all the thrilling attractions they could. Afterward, they went to a nearby store to order some food. Olivia asked while sipping her milk tea, Sister, where should we go next? Youre not really going back now, are you? Her eyes were full of pleading, not wanting Charlotte to leave. Charlotte looked at her and hesitated. How aboutI take you to a ce? Sure., Olivia agreed with enthusiasm, as long as she could have more fun. Charlotte had intended to take Olivia to Celestial Pivot today. However, to avoid making her think too much, she cleverly led Olivia to suggest the amusement park first. The two hailed a taxi to Celestial Pivot.
Upon arriving at Dark Street, however, the taxi driver dropped them off because he dared not enter. So, the two had to walk to Celestial Pivot. Olivia had been to the living quarters across the street before, but this was her first time entering Celestial Pivot. Despite entering through the back door, she couldnt help but take a curious look around. I heard that William Butch went to school., Olivia said.
Mmm., Charlotte replied, He wanted to go. Thats good. With Charles Amos, the little angel by his side, he will recover quickly., Olivia held onto Charlottes arm, allowing her to lead the way. After turning a few corners, Charlotte stopped in front of a warehouse. Olivia looked up at the extravagant decoration outside the warehouse. Olivia,e here., Charlotte said, Look at the password. Memorize it. Or change it to one you preferter. What?, Olivia asked with confusion. Without answering her question, Charlotte opened the door and led her in. The moment the door opened, the sensor lights inside turned on by themselves. The warehouse had entire walls of disy shelves on three sides. On the shelves were long boxes from different eras: wooden, iron, goldand even ss-covered ones. Some looked quite valuable at first nce. In the middle of the warehouse was arge disy table with a variety of rectangr boxes disyed on it. Boxes made of other materials couldnt be seen clearly, but the ones covered with ss held hairpins inside. Olivia Lane stared nkly at the entire warehouse.
Her first feeling was astonishment. These are all hairpins, said Charlotte Lane softly, gifts from friends, purchases from auctions, and some are bought simply because they looked lovely when I saw them. Olivia stared nkly and walked forward a few steps, opening a nearby box. Inside was a mutton-fat jade hairpin. In the ss case beside it was one made of solid gold. In the entire warehouse, there werent thousands, but there must be at least eight hundred. Each was priceless, even one of a kind, with only one of each in the world. What? Shocked? Charlotte Lane ruffled Olivias hair from behind her, Our home has better things spread all over, dont be amazed by these little things. How can thosepare to these?, Olivia murmured. These were collected by her sister with great care and thought. They were invaluable. Charlotte Lane put her arm around Olivias shoulder and touched her face: You see? Sister didnt break her promise to collect a warehouse for you. Although this warehouse is a little smaller than the one we talked about when we were little. Olivia was speechless when looking at the whole warehouse. Ill let the Celestial Pivot guys know, and you cane anytime you want, Charlotte said, or you can also ask someone to move them back home. You can wear them all C their sources have been checked and there are no problems with any of the hairpins. These couldnt have been collected in just a year or two, could they? Olivia asked.
Yes. Olivia clutched Charlottes skirt; although her sister didnt remember her, she remembered the promise she made to her. Charlotte looked down at her hand. Over the years, she had strangely wanted to collect beautiful hairpins, and only until she remembered her past, she realized it was because she had promised this little girl. Apart from the red hairpin she and Harton rk fought for at the auction, she had collected everything else here. You can take a look around, Charlotte said, Ill go out and make a phone call. Alright. Charlotte checked the time and sent Harton a message that she and Olivia were out having fun. After a while, Harton invited her: [Can I pick you up?] Charlotte: [No need. Theres still time before we go back, dont wait for me for dinner.] Harton rk: [Okay. Which ce are we going back to tonight?] Charlotte: [Rose Garden.] After sending the message, her finger stayed on Charles Amoss contact information for a moment, but she didnt click on it and closed the cell phone instead.
It was past 10 PM when Olivia was sent back to her university, and Charlotte went directly back to the Rose Garden. When she returned, Harton, Thomas Firway, and Henry Horton were discussing things in the living room. Brook Sister is back? asked Henry Horton. Yes. Charlotte sat down next to Harton and looked at the map on the tea table. What are you looking at? A map, Harton replied. Charlotte: Henry Hortonughed: Captain Masons men said they saw Edward Kirsten in F Continent, although theyre not sure. Suspected? Charlotte asked. Yes. They said that it seemed like they saw Edward Kirsten, it looked like him, but they werent very sure. He ran too fast, and they didnt catch up. Thomas Firway said. But Harton said it wasnt Edward Kirsten. He said he wouldnt go to F Continent, said Henry Horton. Charlotte thought for a moment and tended to agree with Hartons idea: So where do you think he would go? Harton pointed to the map twice: Continent A or D Continent. Chapter 574: 517: Brief Loss of Trust Chapter 574: Chapter 517: Brief Loss of Trust Continent A and D Continent are heavily guarded, would he still dare to go? Allonzo Hobson questioned, Is there such a possibility? Where is there no heavy security? questioned Arthur North in return. Allonzo Hobson opened his mouth but said nothing. Everywhere was heavily guarded, but Edward Kirsten didnt seem to care, going wherever he wanted. That was precisely what made him so terrifying. If he were that easy to catch, he would have been caught already. Arthur North spoke slowly. Charlotte Lane didnt interject, just listened to their conversation while leaning on the sofa. Jeez, Ive never seen anyone who could hide so well. said Allonzo Hobson. Well, youre seeing him now. Thomas Firway replied. Allonzo Hobson: Maybe we can have a good New Year this time. Arthur North suddenly suggested. Charlotte Lane tilted her head to look at him.
Thomas Firway faltered for a moment. Allonzo Hobson looked at him for two seconds, thenughed: It still takes Third Master, eh? Even the most terrifying people can be captured by our Third Master. He can hide, and you can chase. Can you please say something more pleasing to the ear? Arthur North said in a deep voice. Charlotte Laneughed softly. Arthur North turned his head towards her: Tired? No. Oh right, the Santiago Family reported a case to the police this morning. Allonzo Hobson said. Hmm, Ive heard. replied Arthur North. They said when Assistant Peter Qinke was sorting out Dean Yues things, he discovered that there was a problem with the medicine he usually took. Allonzo Hobsons voice turned cold, Damn it, who exactly wanted to harm the dean? The people around him, close people, the Santiago family members, maids, drivers, including me and Peter Qinke himself, all are suspects. Arthur North said calmly, For those with ulterior motives, its not difficult to tamper with the medicine. Maybethe Deans illness was a conspiracy from the beginning. Overseeing a research institute, tampering with medicine, or causing harm to someones body- its all too convenient. Charlotte Lane squinted lightly, and a short-lived ruthlessness quickly shed in her eyes. Allonzo Hobson frowned: Since theyre determined to do it, they must be extremely cautious. Im afraid it wont be easy to investigate. Arthur North nodded in agreement. The few of them fell silent in the living room for a while. Arthur North stood up while holding Charlotte Lanes hand: You two can leave now, were going to rest. Allonzo Hobson: Yeah, the wife returns and youre kicking us out. After returning to the room, Charlotte Lane went straight to the restroom.
As the door was about to close, Arthur North held it open from outside. Charlotte Lane paused and looked at him. Seeing her suspicious gaze, Arthur Norths smile grew deeper: What does that look mean? Charlotte Lanes eyes narrowed slightly, What do you want to do?
Shower together. Arthur North said, pushing the door further. The bathroom door opened slightly, but was quickly held in ce again. We wont do anything. Arthur North said with a smile. Charlotte Lane didnt let go, her voice a bit cold, Do you believe that yourself? Third Master rkughed and remained silent. Charlotte Lane, her hand pressing on the door, rubbed her fingertips and suddenly looked a bit despondent. She called out to him in a serious yet low voice: Arthur Northp> The smile on Arthur Norths face vanished in an instant, asking, Whats wrong? Her hand on the door was lowered, ready to reach out and pull Charlotte Lane. But at the very moment he let go, Charlotte Lane pushed the door shut and locked it. Her movements were so quick that Arthur North was pushed back a step by the door, leaving him dumbfounded as he only caught a glimpse of her triumphant smile through the narrow gap. Arthur North stood outside the bathroom door, looking at it: His expression changed from helpless to increasingly ruthless. He had just wanted to tease her and make her happy, but nowhe suddenly wanted to make it a reality. After a while, he knocked on the door and deliberately deepened his voice: Little girl, isnt this going too far? Charlotte Lanes voice was filled with amusement: It is quite excessive.
Arthur North: Charlotte Lane added: I think its too much. Open it, lets have a good talk. Arthur North emphasized the words good talk heavily. No. Charlotte Lane tly refused. Kevin rk: Little girl, you cant stay in there forever. Charlotte Lane was silent for a moment. I suggest you think carefully. Charlotte Lane still didnt say anything. But she heard Kevin rk walk away for a bit, and then he quickly came back. Then she heard the sound of keys being inserted into the lock, the door handle moved, and the door opened Opened Kevin rk leaned at the doorway, his narrow eyes full of danger, his thin dark red lips curved into a smile, and a key in his hand: Little girl it seems you dont have a chance to think things over.
Charlotte Lane stood in ce, trying her best to think of something that could convince Kevin rk, and make him show mercy. But Kevin rk didnt give her that chance. He threw the key on the washbasin and directly carried her into the bathroom. For a moment, Charlotte Lane was mourning for herself while also attempting to struggle. Kevin rk, calm down. Kevin rk let out a softugh. Kevin rk, please calm down. Really, I suddenly her lips were gently kissed, and Charlotte Lane couldnt finish her sentence. You She was kissed again, and Charlotte Lane swallowed her words. Kevin rk ced her by the bathtub, filled the water with one hand, and hugged her with the other, as if afraid she would run away. Charlotte Lane watched the water level in the bathtub rise. She decided to struggle again, mustering her acting skills: Kevin rk, Im a bit tired today. I Kevin rk didnt believe her anymore. Seeing her expression, he exposed her acting: Well, then, Madame, pray that Ill finish quickly. Charlotte Lane leaned despondently in Kevin rks arms.
Instead of praying for that, she might as well pray for winning a hundred million in the lottery tomorrow; the odds were even greater. Heh. It served her right. Why did she act so arrogantly? Because they were going to the Research Institute the next day, Kevin rk didnt bully her too much. But all day the next day, Kevin rk still felt murderous intent. It came from everywhere. She behaved normally with him and spoke nicely to him. Even before getting off the car at the Research Institute, he even received a kiss. This had never happened before. It was the murderous intent that directly struck his heart. He felt as if he had done something unspeakablest night. Finally, the murderous intent was appeased with an ice cream after work. Thomas Firway picked them up. Kevin rk specifically asked him to buy it. On the way home, Kevin rk watched Charlotte Lane eat her ice cream slowly, the calm but triumphant expression on her face He felt that he was calcted upon once again. After dinner. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane both went to the study room. Kevin rk sat next to the desk, while Charlotte Lane held aputer on the sofa. The study room was quiet, with only the sound of the keyboard. Although there was nomunication, both of them were seriously dealing with their own work, and the atmosphere was exceptionally rxed and harmonious. More than an hourter, Charlotte Lanes cell phone rang once. She nced at it, the note was a bunch of new garbled codes. Her new note for Diego Giovanni. Diego Giovanni sent her a message: [In ten minutes, theyll set off.] Chapter 575: 518: Brother Arthur… Chapter 575: Chapter 518: Brother Arthur After receiving Diego Giovannis message, Charlotte Lanes fingertips gradually grew cold. She calcted the time and forcefully suppressed her emotions, continuing to look at herputer as if nothing had happened. She finished dealing with the Research Institute Affairs and sent them to Turner Daniel. Afterward, she opened her design draft that she had been working on during her free time, and sent it along with detailed body measurement data to Joseph Allen. She asked him to make the clothing and then send it to Rose Garden. After doing these things, she told Kevin rk that she needed to make a phone call. Kevin rk nodded. She left the Study Room. But she didnt make any phone calls outside. Instead, she went straight back to her Bedchamber. When she reached the Bedchamber, she took out two things from the pocket of her school uniform jacket which had always been hanging in the cloakroom. A ss medicine bottle containing only two pills, and a sealed bag of incense powder. The school uniform was worn during the recording of a variety show; after being washed, it was left here untouched by anyone.
So, she had ced these two things in the pocket of the uniform. Charlotte Lane poured out the two pills from the ss medicine bottle and swallowed them directly. After swallowing the pills, she went back to the Bedchamber. She brought the two incense burners in the room to the head of the bed. After waiting for five minutes, she scooped out the incense powder that had not been burnedpletely from the burner. The ceiling light was on, and the light cast a small shadow from her eyshes onto her eyes. It was not clear if it was because of the incandescentmp, but her originally cold white skin seemed even colder. The faint pink on her lips seemed to be filled with icy indifference. She casually leveled the ashes in the incense burner. Then she ced the seal mold and slowly spread the incense powder from the sealed bag on it, bit by bit. Each movement was neither fast nor slow, but with each action, a mechanical coldness was revealed. The incense powder in both burners was ignited, and the scent of Eaglewood began to drift again. There was not much differencepared to the previous times. Charlotte Lane ced one incense burner on the bedside table. She took the other to the Balcony. Compared to Kevin rks other residences, Rose Garden could be considered small, but the actual area was stillrge. So several police cars stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. When Thomas Firway was negotiating with them, Kevin rk in the Study Room didnt hear a thing. Not until Thomas Firway hurriedly pushed open the door of the Study Room without even knocking. Kevin rk looked at his flustered expression.
Third Master. Somethings wrong. Thomas Firway, panting a little as he ran to the door, said, The police came and want to take Third Brother away. They say Third Brother is a suspect in Dean Yues death. The fingerprints on the medicine bottle that Dean Yue took from were Third Brothers. Kevin rks face instantly turned cold. I stopped them at the door, not letting them in. Thomas Firway said, Third Master, what should we do? Someone is deliberately framing him, and there might be more to it. Its too dangerous for Third Brother to be taken away now. Just by fingerprint alone, they wouldnt convict him right away. The concern was that he would be harmed before anything could be proven, and then it would be toote to clear his name.
Kevin rk naturally knew this, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic: Wheres the little girl? Huh?Thomas Firway said, I didnt see her. Kevin rk immediately stood up and walked out: Stop them. Dont let them in. Yes. Thomas Firway followed him out of the study room, and he went out to stop people. Kevin rk went to the bedroom to find someone. Pushing open the bedroom door, he saw that the light was on inside and breathed a sigh of relief. He strode into the bedroom and saw Charlotte Lane sitting in the rocking chair on the balcony, calling out to her, Miss. Charlotte Lane touched the ring on her nameless finger, nced at the incense burner next to her, and the faint smoke rose slowly. Then she turned her head to look at him, her expression indifferent, and asked, Whats the matter? Kevin rk looked down at her, feeling that something was wrong with her: Didnt you say you were going to make a phone call? Why did youe back to the bedroom? I got a little sleepy, so I came back. Charlotte Lane pulled a chair from the side and motioned for him to sit down. Kevin rk sat down and touched her face, Theres a police car outside. Charlotte Lanes eyshes flickered slightly, looking at him, What happened? Your fingerprints were found on the medicine bottle that Dean Yue usually takes, Kevin rk observed her, feeling her calmness was a bit numb.
Everyone touches the medicine bottle. Does it only have my fingerprints? I dont know, Kevin rk said, I didnt let them in, and I didnt ask in detail. Someone is deliberately targeting me, Charlotte Lane said. SoI wont let them take you away, Kevin rk made his stance clear. Even if you want to go, I wont let you. Charlotte Lane looked at him, and after a moment, smiled, Theyre already at the door. They dont dare to break in, Kevin rks fingertips moved, I will investigate it as soon as possible. Charlotte Lane looked at his lips slightly pursed, and after a moment of silence, asked, What if I insist on going with them? Kevin rk suddenly frowned, subconsciously wanting to grab Charlotte Lanes hand, but the hand on his leg, trying to move but unable to exert strength. He tried to move his other hand, but couldnt lift it either,pletely powerless. Not only his hands, but also his legs, waist, and neck gradually lost strength. He suddenly looked at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane had never seen Kevin rk show such fierce eyes to her. She smiled, her hand covering Kevin rks, Brother Arthur, dont waste your energy. That incense Charlotte Lane nced at the incense next to her, I tampered with it. Because of your drug resistance, I used this slow infiltration method.
Kevin rk was so angry that the veins in his neck bulged. He didnt want to hear the four words Brother Arthur at all right now. Charlotte Lane touched his hand, This trick I learned from Isaac Amos. I took the medicine in advance. The incense powder I mixed will not harm the body. After it burns out, your strength will slowly recover in an hour. Kevin rk nced at the incense burner, and it would be more than two hours before it burned out. Dean Yuewas harmed by Peter Qinke and Edward Kirsten. Charlotte Lanes smile disappeared from her face, reced by numb coldness, I learned about it on the day of the deans funeral. The Maxwell family is an aplice. Kevin rk looked at her. As she mentioned Edward Kirsten, her eyes, which were full of hatred, became flustered, and the corners of her eyes gradually reddened. They framed me, forcing me to be unable to stay in the country and to join them, Charlotte Lane said coldly, So I decided to go along with their n. Kevin rk moved his lips with difficulty, his voice strained, Charlotte Lane! Charlotte Lane blinked her eyes, looking at Kevin rk, Brother Arthur, I know that if you say we can have a good year this year, you can do it. Its just a matter of a few months. But in these few monthsI dont want to see anyone else die because of me. Kevin rks fingers moved slightly. Charlotte Lane held his fingers, gently rubbing his knuckles, BesidesI want to know the data in hisboratory. With Edward Kirstens personality, if caught, he would immediately destroy theboratory. The data inside is essential to us and will speed up our experiments. Kevin rks whole body was numb, and finally, even his voice was gone. He could only force himself to look at Charlotte Lane andpete with his body. Brother Arthur. Dont be angry, Charlotte Lane said softly, I will protect myself. After Ie back whether you want to lock me up or anything, I ept it.
Chapter 576: 519: Gone… Chapter 576: Chapter 519: Gone The ceiling light in the bedchamber was very bright. Kevin rk leaned back in the chair, feeling the dazzling light. However, he felt that the surroundings were too dark, encroaching on him bit by bit. Brother Arthur, youre really hard to deceive, Charlotte Lane looked at the increasingly red corners of his eyes andined, Its so hard to hide something from you. I need to be highly focused every day, fearing that a single mistake would arouse suspicion. You taught me, you know me too well. But its because of that, I know you too. So Charlotte Lane stood up, leaned down, and touched Kevin rks eyebrows, Im very clear that as long as I control you, no one can stop me. Kevin rk couldnt speak; he could only look at her with pleading eyes, trying to hold her back. Moreover I only trust you, Charlotte Lane said slowly, I only feel at ease when youre on the outside. And only you can really deal with Edward Kirsten. I trust you so much, you should trust me too. Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rk for a while, then stood up straight and put her cell phone next to him, Theres a recording in it. The Hundred Demons Pavilion, the Celestial Pivot, and the Darknight Alliance will listen to your instructions. Ill leave everything here for you, Brother Arthur. A few days would be enough for her to arrange everything. Moreover, the inside and out step was one she had been nning for a long time. Last time she went to the Mountain Sea Continent, she had a long conversation with Luke, preparing for this step. But when Kevin rk thwarted so many of Edward Kirstensirs and chased him everywhere, she considered giving up on the idea.
However, when she found out that Edward Kirsten had framed her, she made up her mind again, using his own scheme against him and deciding to deal with it personally. Many things started because of her; she should also end them personally. Quite a few people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion hade to the country. They all sneaked in in disguise, and they didnt enter the Imperial Capital. Only James Collinss men entered the capital, which was deliberately arranged to hide the truth from Kevin rk. After exining everything, Charlotte Lane touched the ring on her hand and prepared to leave. But just as she took a step forward, her wrist was grabbed. With all his strength, Kevin rk raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. Charlotte Lane looked at him in surprise. Due to his urgency and effort, Kevin rks chest heaved as he said with difficulty, Charlotte, dont go! Charlotte Lane gripped his hand and easily held his hand, removing it from her wrist and cing it back on his leg. She stood beside him for a while, then leaned down and gently kissed his eyes. As her lips touched Kevin rks eyelids, Charlotte Lanes tears fell onto Kevin rks face. And when Kevin rk closed his eyes, tears also fell from the corners of his eyes. Two drops of tears slowly disappeared into his hair along his face. The bedroom door opened and closed, and everything returned to calm. Kevin rk opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was full of exhaustion. He tried to exert his strength continuously, but due to the powerful effect of the medicine, he couldnt muster any strength.
At the entrance to the courtyard. Both sides were at a stalemate. One side refused to let the other in, and the other side refused to leave. As the stalemate continued, Charlotte Lane came out.
Third Brother, how did youe out? Thomas Firway looked behind her, but didnt see Kevin rk. Charlotte Lane smiled at him and didnt say much to him. Instead, she walked past him and out the door, saying to the police, Ill go with you. Thomas Firway was stunned and immediately stepped forward to pull Charlotte Lane back. Charlotte Lane nced at him and whispered, Obey orders. Thomas Firways hand suddenly stopped, and he froze. And at that moment, Charlotte Lane got into the car with them. Thomas Firway couldnt understand the situation. Because of Charlottes order to obey, he dared not stop the car, so he turned and ran into the vi. As soon as he entered the living room, he was choked by the lit incense, but he was in a hurry and didnt pay much attention. It wasnt until he went into the study room and then into the bedchamber, walked up to Kevin rk, and asked him what was wrong and what happened that his legs suddenly gave way, and he knelt on the ground. And then, he couldnt move or speak. Charlotte Lane ced the incense for Kevin rk with a precise amount. However, she didnt pay much attention to the two she ced in the living room, and the dose was quiterge. Whoeveres will copse. Thomas Firway left without looking back and the people at the entrance watched helplessly as Charlotte Lane was taken away. Diego Giovanni didnte himself, but he had arranged for his apprentice to be there.
The inside of the car was silent, with no one talking. BecauseJulian Maxwells men were also there. The car didnt take the same route as before, but went onto the Outer Ring instead. Why are we going this way? Diego Giovannis apprentice deliberately asked. Its faster this way. At this moment, another person in the car took out handcuffs: Miss Lane, please cooperate. Charlotte Lane looked at him. The apprentice said, Shes just a suspect, do we really need this? Better safe than sorry. I apologize, Miss Lane. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything and cooperatively extended her hand. Nobody spoke again. The surroundings of the Outer Ring became increasingly deste. About ten minutester, the car was forced to stop. A skirmish soon started outside.
Charlotte Lane sat quietly inside the car, staring at the pitch-dark night outside. The night was so ck, as if the dark ink of the night was gradually enveloping everyone. Charlotte Lane was brought down from the police car and then pushed onto another car. Once she got up on the car, her eyes were blindfolded. She had to rely on her senses to figure out the direction. Less than an hourter, there was a fight at the border of Imperial Capital. She was put into another car, and this one drove even faster than before. And it was constantly winding and circling. Both the driver and the other person inside the car were foreigners. From their conversation, they were trying to shake off the cars chasing them. In the Rose Garden, Arthur North continuously struggled with his own body. Thomas Firwayy unconscious on the ground, not moving at all. Finally, Arthur reached Charlotte Lanes cell phone. It took him about ten minutes to unlock the six-digit password by pressing on the screen. His back was drenched in sweat.
Once unlocked, he slowly moved his fingers to find William Lanes contact information. When he finally managed to dial the number, he couldnt speak. Charlotte? Whats wrong? Is there anything wrong? William Lane asked anxiously from the other end, thinking something had happened. Its me. Atst, Arthur North managed to speak. His head was soaked in sweat, his eyshes wet from it. Whats going on with your voice? Where are you? Gasping for breath, Arthur stuttered, Imperial Capital, border, notify people, stop Charlotte. It was difficult for him to utter the sentence, his voice intermittent and somewhat unclear, but William Lane understood after a brief pause. He quickly contacted his people. He also headed there immediately. But he was still one step toote. When he contacted his people, the fight had just begun there. However, Julian Maxwells men opened a passage at the border, and the Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance got involved, seemingly helping but actually causing more harm. After they took Charlotte Lane out, the people from rk Family, Lane Family, and Dark Radiance went to chase her. The Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance pretended to chase as well. As a result, they disrupted everythingpletely Chapter 577: 520: We Must Trust Her Chapter 577: Chapter 520: We Must Trust Her At 2 AM, the Rose Garden was brilliantly lit, with all doors and windows wide open for venttion. In the living room were Hugo rk, William Lane, Allonzo Hobson, plus others from the Dark Radiance whom Robinson Scott had summoned from the Imperial Capital. All of them wore troubled expressions. Kevin rk was sitting on the sofa, looking distraught, his eyes bloodshot, and his eyelids moist. Due to the lingering effect of the drugs, his fingertips were still trembling slightly. Thomas Firway and the others who hadter entered the living room were still not fully awake. William Lane was exceptionally silent. His face was ashen, and even without speaking a word, those around him could sense the smoldering anger within him. Allonzo Hobson and Hugo rk quietly observed William Lane, fearing that he would lose control and injure Kevin rk, who currently had mobility. But William Lane hadnt uttered a word of me or interrogation since he came in. He had intended to speak, even had the desire to throw punches. But after seeing Kevin rks state, he didnt even utter a single syble. This was the first time he saw Kevin rk in such a state. It could urately be described as shameful.
It wasnt superficial shame but a deep-seated shame, one rooted in self-me. They grew up together, and he had only seen the proud Third Master Arthur North and the strategic Third Master Arthur North. But tonight, all of these images were shattered. After a long silence, Kevin rk, with his eyes downturned, croaked, Control the information online. Dont let a single piece of information about this incident leak out. Okay, Allonzo Hobsonplied, I will contact the media, and all tforms. The Celestial Pivot has likely already controlled the information on thework. As of now, no news has appeared. Kevin rk softly acknowledged and then asked, Whats the situation outside the Imperial Capital? Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson did not go to the scene, and what they knew was very limited. They turned to look at William Lane. But it was clear William Lane didnt want to speak. Hence, the two directed their gaze at Yoshua Archer. Meeting their gaze, Yoshua Archer gave a rundown of the situation at the citys border. The southeast area was suddenly attacked. Those guarding it retaliated. But when Dark Radiances people joined the fight, they ended up attacking them too. Even the rk family and Lane family were thrown into disarray because of this, so right from the start, a gap was left open for escape. Why did they attack together? Allonzo Hobson asked. Hugo rk exined, All the guards are just following orders. My father has just investigated this, they said that they received orders to treat everyone unidentified as the enemy. They mistook the people who suddenly attacked as allies, so they attacked together. Who issued the order? The border defense was all arranged by Nathan Norths people. Dark Radiance only concealed their defense and woulde out at the crucial moment. All these had been discussed beforehand. Someone must have deliberately made this happen. The people who issued the orders at the scene are still being interrogated. We havent found out whose orders they were acting under, Hugo rk exined. Fucking hell, theres a traitor among us, Allonzo Hobson cursed, suddenly frowning, Its the Maxwells! Julian Maxwell who served under Nathan Northsmand has been climbing the ranks over the years. He had considerable sway and the power to give orders.
Of everyone here, he was the most suspicious. Hugo rk said, We dont have any proof. Mere suspicion wont be enough to take action on them. Kevin rk remained silent, his gaze downcast. Yoshua Archer nced at Kevin rk and continued, With enemies on all sides, despite being thrown into chaos, the rk and Lane families adjusted their strategies in time. They could win if they dragged the fight out. However, soon after, the Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance decided to join in. They stirred up conflict on all sides
Yoshua Archer paused before adding, Our people started chasing them, so did the Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance. They stopped our people and threw them into chaos. They then chased after them themselves The room fell silent, and no one could find words to respond for a moment. The Hundred Demons Pavilion and Darknight Alliance joined the fray, and that must have been allowed by Charlotte Lane. The purpose was to coordinate with Edward Kirstens people and deliberately get them to take her away. So them chasing was part of this staged scenario, they certainly wont be able to catch up. After a prolonged silence, Allonzo Hobson finally broke it and asked, So what do we do now? We are already conducting aprehensive search and have contacted various ces to set up checkpoints, Hugo rk nced at Kevin rk and added, but firstly, Edward Kirstens people are too skilled at avoiding checkpoints. Secondly the Hundred Demons Pavilion and Darknight Alliance may still cause trouble. No one spoke again. The several men turned their gazes to Kevin rk. Kevin rk noticed that everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision. After a moment of silence, he said, James Cooper, bring down all the maps from the study. Yes. The maps were brought down and ced on the tea table, starting with the domestic road maps. Kevin rk studied them for a while before picking up a pen to mark on the map. His hand trembled severely, causing the circles he drew to also be shaky.
The few men in the living room watched his trembling hand, their faces growing even grimmer. When he was marking the third location, William Lane reached out to stop the map from being moved by Kevin rk. Kevin rk paused, raising his eyes to look at him. Allonzo Hobson and the others also turned to look at him. Stop looking. William Lane tried to control his emotions, his voice slightly hoarse, This is Ls own choice. We shouldnt interfere with her actions. Kevin rk lowered his gaze to the map, Let go. William Lane didnt move. He took a soft breath. Even though he couldnt bear it, he still respected his sisters decision and even wanted to help her achieve it, We have to have faith in her. How to trust? Kevin rk looked at him again, If Edward Kirsten truly cant bear to harm her, what about the people at the M Continent Laboratory? Eliminate these factors. What if Edward Kirsten is driven to a corner and decides to die with her? William Lane was suddenly silent. Kevin rk forcefully pulled the map out of William Lanes grasp. Kevin. L must have thought this through before taking this step, the trembling in William Lanes voice revealed his struggle. It was unclear whether he was saying it for Kevin rks benefit or to convince himself, She knows youre waiting for her, shell return. Kevin rk ignored him and continued to mark locations. After finishing with the domestic map, he started on a few more continents.
William Lane fell silent again, watching as Kevin rk stubbornly marked the possible locations they might have passed through. When all the locations were marked, Kevin rk put the pen down and turned to Yoshua Archer, Add more manpower to these locations. If the people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance interfere, hold back but fight relentlessly, show no mercy. Yes, Yoshua Archer took the map and left. Kevin rk then turned to Allonzo Hobson, Keep an eye on Robinson Scott. Ok, After Allonzo Hobson agreed, he immediately left to find Robinson Scott. He certainly didnt want his wife to get hurt. Soon after, William Lane also left. Only Hugo rk remained in Rose Garden with Kevin rk. Third Uncle, do you want to take a rest? Kevin rk shook his head, Ill wait here for news. Afterwards, he studied the terrain of Continent A and D. If they couldnt find them, he had to be prepared to find Edward Kirsten himself. Seeing this, Hugo rk poured him a ss of water and sat next to him without disturbing him.
Chapter 578: 521: Meeting Edward Kirsten Chapter 578: Chapter 521: Meeting Edward Kirsten Early morning around four, William Lane returned home, and the lights in the house were still on. As soon as he entered the living room, his grandfather, parents, and Aunt Cruz all looked at him. With such a bigmotion, the rk family and Lane family were both involved. They couldnt possibly not know about it. When they saw Williams expression, they knew that the person hadnt been found. Sophie Ortizs tears were about to fall again. Andrew Lane held her hand tightly. What happened? Old Master Lane took a breath and said, I heard that Charlotte was taken away by a police car, but then was hijacked by someone halfway? Didnt Arthur North stop them? They definitely wouldnt talk about how Charlotte purposely let them take her away. Externallyeveryone thought that either Edward Kirstens people had hijacked the police car, or they were suddenly attacked and taken away by an unknown person. William nced at the living room where only the four of them were present, and the servants had either gone to rest or gone out. He sat down and said, Charlotte wanted to leave on her own. Arthur was drugged by her, and he hasnt fully recovered yet. The Lanes were all taken aback.
Andrew asked, What happened? William briefly exined the situation, but he wasnt too clear about the specific details either. Since its her own decision Old Master Lane paused, suppressed his emotions, and spoke out the rest of his thoughts, We should respect it. No one in the Lane family spoke, as reason and emotion were separate matters. If the situation started because of her, then it should also end with her. Old Master Lane took a deep breath, If any price was paid, she has to bear it, and so do we. Sophie couldnt help but cry out. William leaned back on the sofa, blinking his sore eyes. He thought of the hairpin that Olivia showed off in that warehouse the day before yesterday. Charlotte had nned it all along. She might have even made the worst-case scenario n. Thats why she took Olivia to see the hairpins in the warehouse at this time. Everyone, go and rest. Old Master Lane stood up and said, Charlotte is taking risks alone. Theres a lot of work to be done here as well. Everyone be alert and dont hold her back. William stood up too: Yes, grandfather. Im going to rest as well. William apanied the Old Master back to his room. But at the entrance, the Old Master didnt let him in. When the room door closed, the Old Master leaned against the door for a while before walking unsteadily toward the head of the bed. He opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out an exquisitely carved wooden box. He had carved it himself. Inside was a longevity lock that he often held in his hand, with a new chain on it.
This was the longevity lock retrieved from the sea after Charlotte fell into the sea years ago. Old Master Lane had been holding it in his hand all these years. After Charlotte came back, he remodeled it a bit, and even made the box for it himself. He hadnt had the opportunity to give it to her yet.
The Old Master caressed the longevity lock, looking at the photo on the bedside table, and said, Madam I havent given it away yet so it means she wille back, right? Twenty-two hours had passed since Charlotte left the Imperial Capitals border, and Arthur North received news of a battle on the road he had chosen, but no news about Charlotte. Meanwhile, the Hundred Demons Pavilion and the Darknight Alliance didnt get involved anymore. Twenty hours is enough time to get anywhere. Thats why the search area quickly expanded to abroad. However, Charlotte had been on the road for far more than twenty-two hours. She hid and dodged, constantly taking detours, and frequently changing vehicles. It was almost after more than ten hours that she boarded a ne. After another ten hours of flying, she changed cars a few times and then got on a helicopter. Only when the helicopternded again did she really arrive at her destination. Throughout the trip, her eyes were covered, her hands tied, and she only had a little water to drink. After getting off the ne, Charlotte couldnt tell if she needed to keep walking, but she was guided forward by someone. However, she soon found out that she didnt need to walk any further for now. Because she heard people around her shouting, Young Master Kirsten.
She stopped and her fingers involuntarily clenched. Footsteps quickly approached, and Charlotte felt him standing in front of her, instinctively taking a step back. Enigma, dont be afraid, its me. Edward Kirstens voice was gentle, and his expression both happy and excited. However, upon seeing the ring on her left ring finger, his countenance stiffened. Charlotte endured the difort in her heart and didnt move. Edward looked at her ring for a moment and then ordered someone nearby, Find something to pry the lock open. Someone left and quickly returned with a thin iron wire-like tool. Edward took it and walked a step closer to Charlotte, saying, Give me your hand. Charlotte hesitated and then stretched her hands out. She had pretended all along that she couldnt open this contraption herself, thus putting her in a powerless state. Of course, she wouldnt set herself free here now. Mr. Kirsten, shes very dangerous. With her eyes covered, Charlotte recognized Alice Eugenes voice and turned her head in her direction. Edward used the iron wire to unlock the handcuffs, Let me see how dangerous our little Enigma is. Although there had been no violent movements, her wrists were chafed from all the on-and-off movements of the car.
As the handcuffs opened, Charlotte immediately removed the blindfold from her eyes. Being daytime, she hadnt been exposed to light for a long time. It took her a while to adjust before she opened her eyes. In her view was Edwards face. His light blue eyes, reflecting the sunlight, were filled with smiles and soft flickering lights. Charlotte was all too familiar with this gaze. Seeing it again, she didnt know if she felt more anger or fear. Regardless of the feeling, she didnt express any of it. Seeing her looking at him, Edwards smile deepened, Enigma, long time no see. Charlottes eyes were bloodshot, and her face didnt look great due to ack of rest and food and the sudden appearance of Edward. She stared at Edward for a moment and then delivered a p to his face. The crisp sound entered the ears of everyone present. Edwards head nted from the p, and he tasted blood in his mouth. Everyone was stunned, then suddenly pulled out their guns, pointing at Charlotte.
Alice rushed forward as if wanting to return the favor with another p. But she was quickly stopped by Edward. Put them down. His gentlemand was obeyed. Alice stood behind him, ring at Charlotte ominously. Edward looked at Charlotte, still gentle, Is one p enough? Does it put your anger to rest? Charlotte stared at him for a moment, then turned her head away, not looking at him anymore. Edward smiled, How about you hit me a few more times to ease your anger? Get lost. Edwardsughter grew louder, Alright, lets put these ps on hold for now. Whenever you want to hit me again, you can. Lets go wash up, eat something, and have a rest. Edward reached out to grab her hand as he spoke. However, Charlotte immediately dodged his attempt. Edwards hand stiffened, and the smile on his face faded slightly as he looked at her. Charlotte knew he was looking at her and met his gaze with a cold face, calmly saying, Want to fight? Edward didnt respond. Charlotte continued, Ive been starving for over thirty hours; I dont have the strength. Having said that, she walked away on her own towards the inside. As she passed Alice, she deliberately kicked her leg and tripped her hard. Alice struggled to keep her bnce and almost fell over. So much for not having any strength. Regaining her bnce, Alice turned and looked at Charlotte, Enigma! Charlotte acted as if she didnt hear and continued to leisurely stroll forward. Edward watched her retreating figure, and after a while, heughed. Alice: Chapter 579: 522: No One Can Feel Comfortable Chapter 579: Chapter 522: No One Can Feel Comfortable It was obvious that Edward Kirsten had been prepared for Charlotte Lanes arrival. Or, he had been preparing since Charlotte left Continent A. The ce they were now was a private ind. Charlotte estimated that this should be a new resting ce, as the room decorations seemed to be done in a hurry. It was not Edwards final base, and their brief rest might continue on. When Charlotte returned to her room, Edward introduced her to the aunt who would be taking care of her life. Aunt Zhou was in her fifties, she took Charlotte into the room and told her where the clothes were ced. The clothes in the wardrobe were all Charlottes favorite styles, mostly skirts. There were different sizes, Aunt Zhou looked at Charlotte and found a suitable size home clothes for her. Throughout the process, Aunt Zhou only spoke three sentences, one of which was asking Charlotte if there was anything else to be done. Charlotte said no.
Aunt Zhou then tidied up some ill-fitting clothes and took them out. Charlotte waited for Aunt Zhou to leave, locked the door, and went into the restroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, when she went downstairs, the meal was already prepared. Charlotte ignored Edwards greeting, went to the restaurant on her own, sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Alice Eugene watched her behavior with a sullen expression. Edward showed no anger, stood in the living room for a while, and then entered the restaurant and sat down. The table was full of dishes Charlotte loved. Edward poured her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her, Its been a long time since youve eaten, drink some soup first. Charlotte did not skimp on herself, put down her chopsticks and drank a bowl of soup first. After finishing the soup, Edward filled her bowl again, then began peeling shrimp for her, I had food prepared for you on the road, why didnt you eat some? Did they mistreat you? Is the food safe? Charlotte replied without even lifting her eyes, If someone poisons it, I would die halfway. No one will poison it, Edward said. Yes, but someone knows my allergies, Charlotte sarcastically said with precision, If I suffocate to death, who will I talk to about it? Alice Eugene stood not far away, her face showing a moment of panic as she heard Charlottes words. Edward turned his head and looked at Alice Eugene. Alice immediately lowered her head and said, Henry Kirsten, I dare not. Charlottes chopsticks paused and she looked at Alice, Im curious, how are you not dead? Alice Eugene felt Edwards gaze still on her, she didnt dare to raise her head and didnt dare to respond. Edward watched her for a while, then turned back, his expression and tone bing gentler, Your heart is misguided.
Oh, Charlottes tone was disdainful, should have known to shoot earlier. Alice Eugene clenched her teeth tightly and lowered her head, controlling her emotions. If you want to kill her, her life is yours at any time, Edward said. Alice Eugenes eyes widened, and her pupils trembled.
Charlotte looked at Alice, Lets keep her for now. Maybe one day she will die of anger. Her purpose was Edwards Laboratory, so she had to pretend to sincerely join them. Even if Edward suspected her, she had to pretend. Edward raised his eyebrows slightly, her aptitude for angering people bing even more refined. After that, Charlotte stopped talking and ate silently and attentively. Even when Edward spoke to her a few times, she ignored him. She ate for more than half an hour, feeling full. She threw her chopsticks down on the table, stood up, and angrily said, That was disgusting. After saying that, she walked out of the restaurant without looking back. Edwards gaze lingered on the now scattered chopsticks for two seconds, and then looked at the tworge piles of shrimp shells beside him. Edward: After Charlotte went upstairs, Alice finally came over and stood beside Edward. Edward Kirsten took the tissue paper and slowly wiped his fingers, Just say what you want. Mr. Kirsten, dont you think that her arrival was too smooth? Alice Eugene asked, I asked our brothers in the Imperial Capital, and there was a group of unknown forces involved. Im afraid they purposely sent her over. Edward Kirsten lifted the corner of his mouth, So what if it was intentional?
Alice Eugene frowned in confusion. Without her peoples help? Could we have brought her here with just our people? You did it on purpose? Alice Eugene asked. Edward Kirsten admitted, What I want is this person. As for how she came here and what she wants to do I dont care. Edward Kirsten threw the tissue paper on the table, and a hint of coldness shed through his eyes, Anyway, she cant leave now. Just as Edward Kirsten finished speaking, a crisp sound exploded in the living room. Alice Eugene immediately looked over and saw a ceramic shard that had almost flown into the restaurant. Edward Kirsten went out right away. As soon as he left the restaurant, he saw a vase flying down from the second floor,nding directly in the living room. Another bang, shards sttered around, one of themnding right next to Edward Kirstens foot. And on the second floor there stood Charlotte Lane. Enigma Starry, what are you doing? Alice Eugene blocked Edward Kirstens front., Charlotte Lane nced at them and then found a slingshot from somewhere upstairs.
She picked up a stone from the vase of green nts on the second floor, put it on the slingshot, pulled it back, and aimed. Bang Arge vase in the living room was shattered. The people guarding the entry of the living room all looked over. Everyone had a solemn expression as they thought about how miserably this person might die. They had followed Edward Kirsten for so long, but they had never seen anyone dare to provoke him like this. Charlotte Lane picked up another stone, pulled back the slingshot, and aimed for another big vase on the other side. Enigma Starry, dont shoot anymore. Edward Kirsten looked up at her, his voice slightly more serious. Instead of stopping, Charlotte Lane just cast a nce at him and then released the slingshot. Once again, there was a loud noise, and the vase shattered. She had to pretend to follow him willingly, but if she was unhappy inside, she would make everyone else ufortable. Edward Kirsten: Charlotte Lane looked at Edward Kirsten.
Edward Kirstens light blue eyes narrowed. Under his gaze, Charlotte Lane grabbed the green nt next to her, and with a push, knocked it down, shattering the vase. Shards and dirt fell from the second-floor railing. A helpless look appeared in Edward Kirstens eyes. Charlotte Lane didnt look at him any longer and turned to return to her room. As the chaos subsided, Alice Eugene nced at the wreckage on the floor, took a breath, and looked at Edward Kirsten, Mr. Kirsten, what about this Edward Kirsten sighed softly, his voice revealing his indulgence, Children, when theyre upset, they throw tantrums. Alice Eugene: A group of people outside the living room, watching the young girl ignore Edward Kirsten and return to her room without any issues suddenly questioned whether the Edward Kirsten they knew today was the same person as before. Her temper Alice Eugene said, Why is it even worse than a few years ago? Edward Kirstenughed, Shes grown up, and her temper has grown with her. Just have someone clean up. Yes. After Edward Kirsten left, Alice Eugene asked someone to clean up the mess. Looking at the shards on the floor, she suddenly thought of a word: was this what they called indulgence leading to arrogance Chapter 580: 523: Recording Chapter 580: Chapter 523: Recording Imperial Capital, Maxwell Family After failing to get in touch with Peter Qinke again, Julian Maxwell angrily threw his cell phone against the wall. Concerned, Mrs. Maxwell asked, Why cant we get in touch with him? Why cant we get in touch with him?! Julian Maxwell roared, Ive been used! He actually dared to use me! While saying this, Julian swept everything off the table onto the ground. Mrs. Maxwell, frightened, covered her ears and took a few steps back, not daring to speak. Fuming, Julians chest heaved and his face turned red. After a while, he said, He said to let his peoplee in and kill Daisy Zane so that I wouldnt have to get involved, that there would be no connection to me. All bullshit! He took the person away! He dared to use me! He smashed everything within reach. Mrs. Maxwell covered her ears and listened to the thunderous crashes, one after another. Suddenly, she shouted, Theres no use in losing your temper here. If you have the ability, bring him back, bring all of them back, and take revenge for your son and daughter! Shut up! Except for talking, what can you do! Dont even think about educating me! As Julians voice fell, a loud noise came from outside.
Ah! Mrs. Maxwell was frightened, hiding beside the wall covering her head. Julian was startled, too. He paused for a moment before looking out the study window. The vis main gate had fallen to the ground, leaving a gaping entrance. A group of people in ckbat suits burst in, surrounding the Maxwell vi. As these intruders rushed in, they wreaked havoc. All the stone benches by the road were toppled, and whatever could be destroyed was destroyed. Vi staff tried to confront them, but the intruders showed no mercy, beating them without any restraint. Upon seeing this, Julian quickly rushed to the ground floor. By the time he got there, all the French windows in the living room had been smashed, ss shards were scattered everywhere. Who are you! What are you doing! Do you know where this is?! Julian bellowed. James Cooper nced at him and sneered, Mr. Maxwell, where exactly are you asking? Are you asking this ces address or itstitude and longitude? Who are you! As the question was asked, Kevin rk appeared at the entrance. As soon as Julian saw him, he charged directly towards him. Kevin rk, its you again! Ugh! Julian had just gotten close when Kevin lifted his leg and kicked him away. Julian was sent flying two or three meters, rolling on the ground before finallying to a stop. He had been cut by the shards, and for a moment, could not get up. With malicious red eyes and an emotionless face, Kevin whispered, Demolish this ce. Yes. James responded and waved his hand. Everyone started to head to the upper floor.
Mrs. Maxwell ran down from the upper floor and saw Julian covered in blood, lying on the ground unable to move. She let out a scream. She quickly went to Julians side, trying to help him up, but couldnt exert enough strength. Julian, Julian! Julian could not speak. With tear-filled eyes, Mrs. Maxwell looked at Kevin. Kevin rk! What on earth do you want to do! Is our family not miserable enough because of you?!
Now you know what misery is? When the knife is on your own flesh, do you feel the pain? Kevin looked down at them from above. Frightened by Kevins appearance, Mrs. Maxwell shrank back. Julian clutched Mrs. Maxwells arm, struggling to sit up. He took a few breaths and said, Kevin rk, do you know what youre doing? Do you know where this is? Im telling you, even if your brother came here, he wouldnt dare do this. But its me who came, isnt it? Kevins expression was as cruel as a demon from hell, making anyone who caught a glimpse break into a cold sweat. Loud crashing noises came from the upper floor. Im going to sue you! Julian dered. I want to see how the rk family will protect you this time. Kevin ignored him. He took out his cell phone, found a recording, and started ying it. At the beginning of the recording, there was some static. After a few seconds, voices emerged: Julians voice. You want to kill Daisy Zane? Why? Then Peter Qinkes voice: Of course, I have a personal grudge. Doesnt Mr. Maxwell want her dead as well? The recording went silent for a while. Afterward, Peter Qinkes voice continued, Mr. Maxwell. I took advantage of the time when she signed the files to get her fingerprint. I have already reced the medicine Dean Yue eats for two days. As soon as the Dean dies, I can frame her. I have told Mr. Maxwell all this; this is my sincerity.
Why would you want to kill Dean Yue? Werent you raised by him? Julians voice revealed his shock. Peter Qinke chuckled and said, Yes. Someone intentionally sent me to the Deans side. Killing him is my final task. Again, a long silence followed before Peter Qinke spoke up. Mr. Maxwell, what do you think? Its best to make a decision soon. Its just a matter of a few days. Julian hesitated for a while before saying, Just a fingerprint is not enough to convict her. Online public opinion. As long as we make the matter public, ck and white, right and wrong will all be blurry, Peter Qinke said. And its during this confusion that she will be dealt with, disappearing forever. That way, all the issues will never be clear. Even in death, she will carry the weight of a crime. Why did youe to me? And how can you be sure that I will help you, rather than expose you? Julian questioned. I trust Mr. Maxwell. Julianughed, You should know that I wont do these things. Although I can mobilize many people, they dont belong to me personally. I wont risk my whole life for this one thing. Mr. Maxwell. You dont need to do this yourself. I wont allow you to get your hands dirty, Peter Qinke said. Imperial Capital is tightly guarded, but a gap has been left. Its easy to get in but difficult to get out. Mr. Maxwell, you just need to cooperate when my people leave, and the rest will be taken care of by them. Your people? Julian questioned. How can I trust that they can aplish this? 319, Peter Qinke replied calmly. Mr. Maxwell, have you heard of the abilities of the people behind 319? Youre one of them?
Peter Qinke said, Thats not urate. Im just working with them. Killing Dean Yue is ourmon goal. As we need to leave, we need Mr. Maxwells help. On the matter of Daisy Zane, consider it a favor we owe you. Julian remained silent. After a while, Peter Qinke spoke, Mr. Maxwell, regarding Dean Yue, I have already taken action. Regardless, its already underway, and its toote to turn back. Mr. Maxwells hands will remain clean from start to finish. Sowhat are you still hesitating about? Julian thought for a long time before finally saying, I will only help you leave. I wont get involved in the rest. No problem. Peter Qinkeughed. Wait for my good news, Mr. Maxwell. Chapter 581: 524: Just Want Her to Be Safe Chapter 581: Chapter 524: Just Want Her to Be Safe The recording ended, and Julian Maxwell couldnt say a single word. He thought he had handled everything well, even if the person who gave the order was taken away, it wouldnt expose him. But there was actually a recording. There was no personal grudge between Peter Qinke and Daisy Zane. He just wanted to use him to get Daisy Zane out. He couldnt even utilize online public opinion; he couldnt send anything out, as if it was being detected. Julian Maxwell, do you think is this enough to justify confiscating your property? Kevin rk said. The noise from the upper floor grew louder, as if something was being dismantled. After a while, someone brought down a stack of documents and handed it to Kevin rk. Kevin rk flipped through them casually: How did someone like you survive till now? Julian Maxwell looked at the things in his hand, regaining someposure: Kevin rk, even if Im guilty, with my status, it should be dealt with through proper procedures. What can you do to me? What can you do to me?
Kevin rk handed the documents to James Cooper, walked up two steps, grabbed Julian Maxwells neck, dragged him forward two steps, and then threw him onto the ground. With a muffled thud, Julian Maxwells head hit the ground, and blood started to flow. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he could not speak a word. Mrs. Maxwell sat on the ground, screaming and yelling. James Cooper was a man who had seen it all, but even he shuddered at Kevin rks ruthless act. If I wanted to do something to you, who would dare stop me? Kevin rk said coldly, Going through procedures? You want your lord up there to save you? Let me tell you, hes going to apany you today. You wanted to drag my big brother down? What do you think you are? Kevin rk let go, and Julian Maxwelly still on the ground, as if dead. Let him watch this ce be dismantled bit by bit. Kevin rk wiped his fingers and said, Then carry him away. Yes. Kevin rk didnt linger, and left directly. The sky was gloomy, and the fallen leaves were scattered on the ground. The cell phone in Kevin rks pocket rang twice, and he took it out to check. A message hade in on the cell phone Charlotte Lane left behind. Joseph Allen sent two pictures. Both pictures were of ck mens dress shirts, but with more traditional Chinese elements and a more antique look. Soon, Joseph Allen sent two more messages. He was inquiring about which fabric would be better for Charlotte Lanes shirt. He also gave some suggestions, as each fabric had its own advantages, but he couldnt decide, so he asked her. Kevin rk looked at the messages he received, and subconsciously opened the email app on Charlotte Lanes cell phone. He saw that on the same evening she left, she sent many design drafts to Joseph Allen C all mens clothing. And the size was his.
Kevin rks eyes turned even redder. He felt like his heart was being pricked by countless needles. He took a few gentle breaths, trying to soothe the pain before getting into the car. As the car moved, Kevin rk texted Joseph Allen back: [Make both]. After replying, he shut off his cell phone and gazed out the window.
Ever since Dean Yues incident, they hadnt returned to rk Manor, and had been staying at the Rose Garden instead. As Kevin rk returned to the Rose Garden, he saw Edward North and Charles Amos sitting in the living room. When Charles Amos saw him return, he immediately stood up from the sofa and hurriedly walked toward him, embracing him tightly. Charles had grown rapidly over the past year, already reaching Kevin rks waist. As Charles Amos hugged Kevin rk, he whispered softly, Daddy, you havent been home for such a long time. Kevin rk looked down at his hair, touched his head for a moment, and led him back to the sofa. Charles Amos sat close to him and said after a while, Mom will be alright. Shes very strong. Kevins cold gaze finally moved. Finn rk also said, Lucias safety should not be a problem. Kevin looked at his second brother. Shes very smart; self-protection is not a problem. Finn hesitated for a moment, Edward Kirsten wont harm her. Hell definitely protect her, too. Kevins eyshes trembled, seeming as if he couldnt quite hear the words. Stiff, numb. Seeing his expression, Finn became silent for a moment before saying, The person I arranged in the M Continent Laboratory was discovered. However, they withdrew quickly, and no one was hurt.
Kevin waited for him to continue. They brought back a message, said Finn. About Peter Qinke. Kevin had only mentioned the recording to the Santiagos, clearing Charlotte Lanes name in the process. The others didnt know about it yet. They only knew Peter had disappeared suddenly. But with the Maxwell Family gone, everyone would know soon. What? Kevin asked softly. Peter Qinke is an illegitimate child from M Continent Laboratory, Finn said. Those in the M Continent value family inheritance. In theory, Peter has the right to inherit. Since I can remember, Peter has been by Dean Yues side, said Kevin. When Peter was eight or nine years old, Dean Yue found him in M Continent. Im not sure about the details, butter Dean Yue has been taking care of him, said Finn. Once, Dean Yue was attacked in M Continent, and Peter leaked his itinerary. Later, he even pushed the me onto others. He killed Dean Yue and disrupted the Research Institute. As the thorn in the side of M Continent Laboratory, Peters actions can be considered meritorious, Kevin said. Thats right. As an illegitimate child, doing this will increase his chances of inheritance, Finn said. No matter how well he does at the Research Institute, and how well Dean Yue treats him, the institute will never end up in his hands. In one fell swoop, hes destroyed the Research Institute and earned merit for himself, Kevin said. He had heard the recording, and so had the little girl.
What had she thought when she left? Self-me? Guilt? Did she attribute Dean Yues death solely to herself? Since Edward Kirsten was involved, she might feel responsible for Edward hurting Dean Yue. He was not sure why Edward Kirsten wanted to kill Dean Yue, but even without him, and only with Peter, he would still kill Dean Yue, frame the new Dean, and turn the Research Institute into muddy waters. Kevin suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. Whats wrong? asked Finn. Charles Amos looked up at Kevin, seeing that his lips had suddenly paled. Kevin shook his head lightly and, after a moment of silence, said, I still havent found their whereabouts. If you find them now, what do you n to do? Finn said. Lucia took a risk for nothing. Do you just want to bring her back? Lucias goal is Edward Kirstensboratory, right? Now, she might not even know where theboratory is, and you want to bring her back? Everything would have been in vain. What were these past few days for? Kevin closed his eyes and lowered his head. Charles Amos grabbed Kevins clothes. Finns gaze fell on Charles, who stood up and left the living room.
Now with just the two brothers, Kevin finally spoke softly after a while, Brother. Ive been with Uncle Lane since I was young, and my education has always been about putting the greater good first. Ive always felt like I havent done well, but I guess I havent let Uncle Lane down too much. However, Ive just realized how selfish I am. Finn looked at Kevins lowered head and bent back, feeling a bitter taste in his heart. I dont want to care about anything else anymore. I just want her to be safe, Kevins voice grew heavier. But Im so powerless. I cant protect her, and I cant find her. Chapter 582: 525: Starting to Miss Him a Bit Chapter 582: Chapter 525: Starting to Miss Him a Bit Charlotte Lane spent three days on the private ind before setting off with Edward Kirsten again. This time, her eyes were not covered. She spent two days traveling on the road, winding and turning. Charlotte Lane almost vomited on the road. After two days, they finally arrived at their destination. Charlotte Lane slept continuously in the car. She didnt open her eyes even when the car stopped because she didnt know if there was any further travel; she didnt bother to look outside either. She was so tired and felt so nauseous that she didnt even care. It was only when Edward Kirsten called her that she opened her eyes. Edward Kirsten rubbed her head, Feeling better? Charlotte Lane stared at him: Do I look better to you? With your driving skills, even if you paid me, I wouldnt ride with you. Edward Kirsten smiled, Weve arrived, no more traveling. Without even looking outside, Charlotte Lane opened the car door and stepped out to take a breath of fresh air.
With the arrival of fresh air, Charlottes nausea eased a little. Only then did she take a look around. The car drove directly into the courtyard, stopping in front of the vi. The courtyard was vast, and looking around, Charlotte recognized every part of itevery scene was extremely familiar. It was identical to where she lived in Continent A. And it was a one-to-one replica. Alice, bring the doctor over, said Edward Kirsten. Alice nodded and left. Edward Kirsten walked to Charlottes side and said, Go inside and rest for a while. Charlotte Lane withdrew her gaze from the distance, murmuring, Im going to sleep, dont let the doctor disturb me. Enigma If you dare to disturb me, I will scold you, said Charlotte Lane. Edward Kirsten: Enigma, dont you think its time to soften your temper a bit? Charlotte Lane nced at him, ignored him, and went straight into the vi. Out in the living room, she paused, looking towards the French windows of the small living room. Back then in Continent A, it was at that very spot that she saw Jack Amos fall in the rainy night, into a pool of blood. Enigma, Edward Kirstens voice broke her reverie from behind her. Charlotte Lane withdrew her gaze and returned to her room as if she knew the ce well. Her room was just as it used to be. She closed the door, stood at the entrance, and looked at her room.
For a moment, she felt as though she had never left this ce. It was as if the years she had been away, were just a dream, and when she woke up, she was still here. When she woke up, Edward Kirsten was still the gentle brother who would tolerate her without any bottom line. Charlotte Lane lowered her gaze, looking at the ring on her hand.
A sudden voice came to her mind: she kind of missed Harton rk. Feelings of drowsiness, car sickness, and nausea amplified her longing. Leaning against the door, Charlotte Lane stared at the French window in her room, trying to divert her attention and ease her difort. She had always had a strong physique and rarely felt this way. After a while, she let out a deep breath, straightened up, picked out some clothes, and went into the restroom. Charlotte Lane had been quite idle ever since she met Edward Kirsten. For these few days, she did only three things. Eat, sleep, and throw tantrums. After arriving at the new ce, she went back to her room and slept for over ten hours until Edward Kirsten came to knock on the door. She sat on the bed for a while to clear her head, then turned on the bedsidemp and went to open the door. Edward Kirsten stood outside, with a dinner te in his right hand, Feeling better? Charlotte Lane, dressed in a light-colored home dress, had messy hair from sleeping. Her eyes were a bit hazy, she simply hummed in response. Want something to eat? Edward Kirsten said, Eat in the room or go downstairs.
Charlotte Lane nced at the food he was holding, didnt say a word and turned back into the room. Edward Kirsten followed her into the room, and they sat down by the tea table on the balcony. The dinner was light. As Charlotte Lane quietly ate her meal, Edward Kirsten simply sat across from her in silence, just watching her. It wasnt until she was almost done eating that he said, You used to love to sleep in, and I feel like you always ate more than half of your breakfasts here. Remember? Do I have a poor memory? Charlotte Lane said without lifting her head. No, Edward Kirsten said patiently, Its very good. After finishing her meal, Charlotte Lane used a tissue to wipe her mouth, then looked out at the French window. Little night lights were hung on the greening of the courtyard, blinking like a sky full of stars. It was beautiful. It had been her idea to hang them back then. And from her room, the view was the best. Does Harton rk treat you well? Edward Kirsten suddenly asked. Upon hearing this name, Charlotte Lanes hand tightened. She did not reply, but instead said, You must know by now that my realst name is Lane, right? Yes, Edward Kirsten responded, I saw the news online. Thats surprising. Youre online, said Charlotte Lane, Ever since I came here, I havent seen any electronic devices. Are you preventing me from using them?
Would that stop you? Edward Kirsten counter-questioned. Its impossible for a clever woman to cook without rice, Charlotte Lane said in a gentle voice, No matter how capable I am, without devices, do you expect me to spread my thoughts by telepathy? Edward Kirsten was silent. Charlotte Lane paused before saying, Ive known Martias rk since I was a child. When I was very little, I liked him. Even though I forgot about him once, I fell in love with him againter. Listening to her words, Edward Kirsten bit by bit clenched his fists, struggling to suppress his anger: You like him that much. Yes, Charlotte Lane looked at him, So, are you going to kill him? Edward Kirsten looked into her eyes, his eyes revealing a storm that he was barely able to conceal, If you behave, I can spare his life. The two shared a long and intense gaze; it was as if time had been stretched to infinity. After a while, Charlotte Lane looked away and said, Alright. Edward Kirsten didnt have any particr reaction to her agreement, as if hed expected it or didnt entirely trust it. How many girls do you have around? Charlotte Lane suddenly asked. Edward Kirsten hesitated a moment before answering, Not many. So, there were more girls like her.
Edward Kirsten Charlotte Lane sighed lightly, her voice very soft, Youre really crazy. Enigma, didnt you always know that? Edward responded lightly, I missed you so much, so whenever I saw a girl who looked like you, I wanted to keep them. Now that Im back, send them away, Charlotte Lane said, looking at him. I can do that. But you have to promise me one thing. What is it. Be good, and stop getting angry easily. Alright, Charlotte Lane agreed, This request wont harm you or cause you any loss. I hope you will keep your promise. When have I ever failed to do what I promised you? Chapter 583 - 526: All Used Against Him Chapter 583: Chapter 526: All Used Against Him Imperial Capital, Easton Group. Third Master, Peter Qinke has been captured. Juan Wright received a call and went to the office to report. Kevin rk was looking at all the maps in the office, searching for possible ces where Charlotte Lane and her party could be hiding. Upon hearing Juans words, Kevin turned his gaze towards him. Understanding his intentions, Juan replied, Only Peter Qinke. The expression in Kevins eyes darkened, and he asked, Where did they take him? Emperor Winter Mansions basement, Juan responded, Our men had just brought Peter Qinke back when they ran into Luke. Luke and James Collins followed them to Emperor Winter Mansion, seemingly wanting to see you. The Emperor Winter Mansion was Kevin rks residence, and when he wasnt at rk Manor, he would return there. But after discovering Charlotte Lanes liking for the rose garden, he started frequenting the mansion more often. Besides, there were a lot of ces in Emperor Winter Mansion that were under renovation, which was why he never took Charlotte Lane there. Kevin rk made his way out: Lets go to Emperor Winter Mansion. Yes, sir. Arriving at Emperor Winter Mansion, Kevin didnt go to the living room but went directly to the basement in the backyard. The basement was dark and damp. Even though the lights on the walls on either side were bright, they still gave off an unbearably gloomy and lightless atmosphere. Juan followed Kevin into the room where Peter Qinke was detained. Peter Qinke was tied to a chair, shivering at the sight of Kevin, Th, Third Master. Kevin sat across him, his expression cold and his tone light. He cut straight to the chase, Did you ever feel guilty when you harmed the Dean? Peter Qinkes terrified expression suddenly turned dumbstruck. The Dean never suspected you until his death, Kevin said, Otherwise, he wouldnt have been tricked by you. Peter Qinke was unable to utter a single word, but his hands were shaking uncontrobly. With your abilities and the Deans feelings for you Kevins hand was rhythmically tapping on the table beside him. Each tap sounded like it was striking Peter Qinkes heart, causing his eyshes to tremble, If you came clean with the Dean, would the M Continent Laboratory have been yours? Peter Qinke slightly furrowed his brows. Kevin said, It would have been. The Laboratorys style wouldnt havested much longer. If you were honest with him the Laboratory would be yours. All of a sudden, Peter Qinke closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair, appearing to be quite rxed. Kevin clenched his fist, stopped tapping the table, and asked softly, Did you cause the Deans initial illness? Peter Qinke replied mechanically, Yes. I tampered with his meals. Thats why the hospital thought it was fromb radiation exposure. Standing behind Kevin, Juan was on a call with his cell phone. The screen disyed the name Turner Daniel. Kevin asked, Where were you nning to go when you escaped? I was going to meet Edward Kirsten, replied Peter Qinke. Where is he? Kevins gaze darkened. I dont know, Peter Qinke replied, The few escorts and I were separated from the main group by your men. We were following the people ahead and didnt know the destination. Once we were separated, we had no idea where to go. We were trying to secretly get in touch with them, but we never found them. Where were you separated from each other? West Hillside Road. Kevins eyshes trembled slightly. His assumption about the location was correct. But nothing happened in and around West Hillside. There was no fight on West Hillside. How did you lose track of each other? Kevin asked. We disguised ourselves as a wedding procession, Peter Qinke exined slowly, When we passed a junction, your cars rushed out, and we had to stop. After waiting for your fleet to leavepletely, we lost sight of the cars ahead. Juan murmured, Edward Kirsten doesnt have anymunication equipment with him, so its challenging to get in touch once the team is separated. They must have their method ofmunication. However for Edward Kirsten, Peter Qinke probably holds no value anymore. So they abandoned him outright. Juan followed Kevin out of the basement with a noticeably pale face. Even though he was one of the people who had seen the biggest storms with Kevin, he still felt horrified seeing this side of Third Master. Due to Miss Lanes presence, they gradually forgot what kind of person Kevin rk really was. They forgot how ruthless he could be. Miss Lanes sudden departure had made Kevins ruthlessness escte to an altogether different level. Thinking about the scene just now in the basement, Juan couldnt help but quiver inwardly. Kevin halted at the doorway, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. The exposed forearm was entirely smeared with blood. Because his sleeves were ck, it seemed only wet, but the blood seeped through onto his skin. The bloodstains on his hands were somewhat terrifying too. He wiped them with paper in the basement, but some stayed lodged on his skin, uncleanable. Some had sshed onto his neck too. On his fair skin, it was even more horrifying. Standing at the basement entrance, someone from the front courtyard hurriedly ran over, not daring to look at Kevin rk, they said: Third Master, Mr. Daniel is outside, he wants to see Mr. Peter. Kevin rk thought for a while: Let him in. Yes. Kevin rk said to Juan Wright: You wait here for him, if he insists on seeing, let him. Yes, Juan Wright said. After responding, Kevin rk returned to the vi through another road. Turner Daniel came very fast. He was furious, his face was full of harshness, obviously here for a fight, his eyes were even red with anger. After hearing Peters words, he hopped in his car and rushed over. Unable to dissuade him, Juan Wright could only take him into the basement. Then a few minutester, Daniel came out, supporting himself against a tree, retching. Seeing him constantly throwing up, almost bringing up his bile, Juan Wright kindly patted his back. Poor kid, he told him not to go in. Hellprobably lose his appetite for many meals. After a while, Turner Daniel was unable to vomit anymore. His face was pale. He walked a few steps to the side, leaned against another tree, his whole body still trembling a bit. He asked in a listless tone: Is he still alive? Yes, Juan Wright said, Just barely. Turner Daniel shuddered, his body hair standing up again: Ive learned one thing. What? People must heed advice. Turner Daniel squatted down against the tree. Juan Wright chuckled softly: Third Master went to the front hall, do you want to see him? Turner Daniel shook his head: I dont want to see him for a while, I dare not. Okay, then I wont keep you. Wait a bit, stay a bit longer. Turner Daniel sat down directly, My legs are weak, I cant walk. Juan Wright: Meanwhile, after Kevin rk returned to his room and changed clothes, he met with Luke and James Collins. Both men stood up from the sofa when they saw Kevin rk. Luke was typically indifferent, greeted, Third Master. James Collins thought for a moment and greeted, Brother-inw. Kevin rk didnt respond but gave James Collins a nce. He sat down, and without showing any politeness, Luke and James followed suit. Kevin rk poured a ss of water, took a sip, and asked: Has L said anything to you? The Big Boss told us to follow yourmand. Luke said, Our people have been arranged around the Imperial Capital, some inside. We all obey the Third Master. Kevin rk looked at Luke: Thats all? Luke nodded. Kevin rk shifted his gaze away, silent for a while. There wasnt much to ask anyway, they just followed orders, their knowledge of the matter was probably less than his. The purpose of this meeting was to tell him that they awaited hismand. So after a moment of silence, he casually asked: Why didnt you participate when Dark Radiance sent people before? The Big Boss said by helping her leave the Imperial Capital, she surprised Dark Radiance. Dark Radiance will hold back due to old ties. Luke said calmly, But if we interfere again afterwards, Third Master wont show any mercy. So she asked us to pull back in time. If they were to fight without any restraint, both sides would probably end up hurting each other. Kevin rk closed his eyes, gritting his teeth in anger, She really knows me well. Luke and James Collins remained silent. Kevin rk was infuriated, his head throbbing in pain. That little girls tactics were all used against him. Chapter 584 - 527: What’s There To Be Happy About? Chapter 584: Chapter 527: Whats There To Be Happy About? Since Edward Kirstens people had passed through the West Hillside, Kevin rks initial route must have been correct. So, Kevin rk searched for their final resting ce along that route once again. As for Charlotte Lane She had been in this new ce for five days and was not too sure about her exact location. No one would tell her, and she didnt bother to find out. Since she promised Edward Kirsten not to lose her temper anymore, she spent these five days eating, sleeping, and wandering around the courtyard. Edward Kirsten had left that night. Based on her guess, hisboratory shouldnt be too far from where they were living now. Another day, in the afternoon, Charlotte Lane was swaying slowly on the swing. Just as she was about to fall asleep on the swing, she heard Edward Kirstens footsteps behind her. She immediately woke up and looked back. Edward Kirsten was holding a trench coat in his hand. Seeing her looking over, he stopped a few meters away, a little surprised by her alertness. Charlotte Lane only looked at him for a moment before turning her gaze away, not saying a word to him. Edward Kirsten then stepped behind her and gently draped the trench coat over her: Arent you cold? Charlotte Lane clenched her fingers without any expression and remained silent. Edward Kirsten sat down on a stone bench beside her, watching the silent Charlotte Lane. After a while, he asked: Aunt Dawson said you havent eaten much these past few days. Whats wrong? Is the food not to your taste, or are you feeling unwell? Charlotte Lane still said nothing. Enigma. Charlotte Lane ignored him. Edward Kirsten sighed softly in his heart: Ive sent all those girls back safely. Charlotte Lane finally made a sound, but only a soft hum. The two were silent for a while. The climate here was simr to that in their home country. The leaves that had been swept away in the morning were blown away by the wind, and a few more fell down. Charlotte Lane looked at the fallen leaves that floated to her feet, swayed gently on the swing, and slowly crushed the leaves with her feet. As half a leaf was crushed, Edward Kirsten spoke: Enigma, youre very unhappy. Charlotte Lane looked at the leaves and whispered softly: What is there to be happy about. Am I the one making you so unhappy? Edward Kirsten asked. What do you think? Charlotte Lane looked up at him, her eyes full of hatred, anger, and sadness. What do I have to be happy about? I have a home I cant go back to Before she could finish her sentence, Edward Kirsten interrupted her: This is your home. Why should this ce be my home? Charlotte Lane retorted immediately. I have parents, brothers and sisters, and a lover. How can this ce be my home? Enigma! How much longer are you going to make a fuss! Edward Kirstens face turned cold, his pale blue eyes filled with rage. Do you want me to kill all of them! Charlotte Lane hesitated for a moment, her eyes reddening: What else do you know besides killing? Edward Kirsten looked at her reddened eyes but didnt say anything more. You killed Jack Amos, Victoria Zane, Daisy Zane When she mentioned Daisy Zane, her throat hurt, and her voice became hoarse. She paused, and tears fell from her eyes. And you killed Dean Yue. Her voice shook slightly: Is it not enough for you to kill everyone around me? I watch the people around me leave one by one; what reason do I have to be happy, what right do I have to be happy! Edward Kirsten closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his tone: Enigma, if you hadnt run away back then, what could the life or death of these people have to do with you? You wouldnt even have known them. What about Jack Amos? He is also a result of your escape. And, Enigma Starry, Edward Kirsten looked into her eyes, Is he really dead? Charlotte Lane didnt say anything. I heard that a sunflower asionally appears on A Continent Harris Kirstens grave, Edward Kirsten said. I cant think of anyone else besides him who would visit her. It still doesnt change the fact that you killed him, Charlotte Lane said. Yes, Edward Kirsten was calm, but his eyes hid endless murderous intent. So, Enigma, you better behave. Or Ill kill others too. Dead people are usually behaved, Charlotte Lane said. Why dont you kill me? Edward Kirsten was silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and took two steps towards Charlotte, grabbing her by the throat. Charlotte clenched the ropes of the swing and did not resist. Edward didnt put any force into the hand holding her slender neck, and he leaned down to look at her. Little Enigma, Ive thought about turning you into a corpse. Ive even researched how to preserve a bodypletely. Ive even picked out a beautiful resting ce for you. That way I can dress you in beautiful skirts and do your hair every day. You would be obedient. Charlotte looked at him calmly, unsurprised by his craziness. Because youre really disobedient, running everywhere, opposing me, and upsetting me, Edward said as he suddenly tightened his grip on her throats. Charlotte involuntarily tilted her head back, her neck forming a beautiful curve under Edwards hand. She couldnt breathe in an instant, and the suffocating feeling made her body tremble slightly, her eyes filled with tears. But her hands only tightened around the swing ropes, not resisting. Edwards grip didnt loosen, as he leaned in closer, whispering in her ear, Little Enigma, are you betting that I wont bear to kill you? Charlotte looked up, tears streaming down her face. Edward used his other hand to wipe away her tears and softly said, Right now big brother really cant bear to see you dead. Although a corpse is obedient, I still like Little Enigma when she smiles, talks, dances, paints, and ys the pipa. Charlottes vision blurred, and she closed her eyes, her hands falling from the swing ropes. Remember this feeling. If you tell me you want to die again, Ill make those you care about suffer even more than this, Edward said. So dont try to be clever with your big brother. Itll be easier for everyone, and theyll be safe. With that, he let go of Charlotte. Charlotte lowered her head and touched her throat, coughing violently. Edward gently patted her back and soothingly stroked her head a couple of times. After a while, Charlotte had somewhat recovered. She wiped her tear-stained face with the sleeve of her trenchcoat. Then she looked up with a re at Edward. Edward looked at her fierce, cold expression and smiled, Why cry? Feeling wronged? Youre so strong, why dont you fight me? Charlotte didnt say anything. Enigma you dont have to pretend to be dependent on me and unable to fight me, Edward said. No matter how you nned it in the Imperial Capital and whether you can clear your name for killing Ezekiel Santiago, I wont give you any chance to go back. Edward Kirsten looked into her eyes: I raised you for so long, I can guess your thoughts in an instant, so dont pretend in front of me. As soon as he finished speaking, Charlotte pped him hard across the face. This p was much heavier than thest one, and blood quickly seeped from the corner of Edwards mouth. He wiped the blood from his mouth with his finger and touched the spot where he had been pped. Then Charlotte pushed him with a stagger. Charlotte stood up from the swing, her eyes red and her neck turning redder from the choke marks. She took off her trenchcoat and threw it on the ground, then turned and walked towards the vi Chapter 585: 528: Taking You to the Laboratory Chapter 585: Chapter 528: Taking You to the Laboratory Edward Kirsten looked at Charlotte Lanes retreating figure, standing alone in the cold wind. For a moment, his fingers touched his side. The tears on his fingertips had long dried, but he still felt a post-warmth there. He sighed softly, touched the pped face, and murmured, Edward Kirsten, how can you bear it? When Charlotte returned, she entered the living room and bumped into Alice Eugene. Alice immediately noticed the red mark on her neck, clearly made by a hand grip. Charlotte ignored her and walked inside. But Alice raised her hand to stop her. Aliceughed and said, Oh, what happened here? Charlotte raised her eyes to look at her. Alice saw her reddened eyes, clearly from crying, and her heart was filled with pleasure, Henry Kirsten has ordered everyone here not to disrespect you. Yousurely didnt do this to yourself, did you? Charlottes throat hurt, and she didnt want to talk, just stared at Alice.
Enigma Starry, let me give you a piece of advice. Alices voice slowly turned cold, Youd better stay here obediently and not act so high and mighty, no one will tolerate you forever. Charlotte waited for her to finish talking, and quickly grabbed Alices neck C so fast that Alice didnt have time to react. As soon as Charlotte grabbed her neck, she held her up and walked into the living room. Alices attempt to resist was blocked by her hand. She quickly dragged Alice into the living room and forcefully knocked her head on the tea table. Blood stained the tea table in an instant. Alices attempt to fight back immediately weakened, her eyes blurred, and she couldnt see things clearly or speak. Charlotte looked at her, slowly spat out two words: Trash. With that, she let go of Alice and went upstairs. When she got upstairs, she locked the door and went to the restroom to wash her hands. Then she stood in front of the mirror and looked at the handprint on her neck. All her emotions had disappeared, leaving only endless coldness. She looked at it for a while, then reached up and touched the red mark on her neck. She then opened the drawer under the washbasin and looked at the medicine box inside. It was filled with various ointments for external injuries. Back when she was in Continent A and danced, she would often get bruises, so Edward Kirsten always kept a lot of medicine in her room. She closed the drawer without taking any medicine and instead pressed her fingers harder into each red mark, making them deeper. Downstairs, Alice was helped out just as Edward Kirsten returned with a trench coat. What happened? Edward Kirsten looked at the blood on the back of her neck, staining her clothes red. Alices vision blurred: Its nothing. Just identally bumped into something.
Edward Kirsten stared at her without saying a word. Alice was afraid of his scrutinizing gaze and said, I got into a fight with Enigma. Did you touch her? Edward Kirsten asked. No. Alice said, I just talked to her, I didnt fight back.
Edward Kirsten looked away, Learn your lesson. Your repeated hospitalizations make me think youre ipetent. Alice lowered her head: Yes. Edward Kirsten didnt look at her again and went straight into the living room. For two days, Charlotte had not left her room. Edward Kirsten called her several times, but she didnt open the door. She didnt eat or drink, and there was no sound. It had never happened before. When they used to have the fiercest fights, they still argued constantly. Even if it was a cold war, Enigma always enjoyed her food and never mistreated herself. Edward Kirsten knocked on the door again without sess, then turned around and went downstairs, ordering someone to break the door. Inside the room, Charlotte had soaked oats in milk and ate it. After lying in bed without the door knocking sound, she fell asleep. Sowhen Edward Kirsten ordered the door to be taken down and entered, he saw her sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, looking angrily surprised at the entrance. Edward Kirstens gaze first fell on her neck as he stepped in.
The red mark caused by pinching hadnt faded at all; instead, it turned purplish-blue. It was especially eye-catching on her fair neck. He narrowed his eyes and asked, Why didnt you apply the medicine? Charlotte Lane looked at him without speaking. Edward Kirsten stared at her for a moment, then looked away and took two steps forward, sitting at the foot of the bed. He said softly, Enigma, Im sorry. I shouldnt have hurt you. Charlotte turned her head to look elsewhere, ignoring him. As she twisted her neck, the three purple bruises on the side became more visible. Edward looked at the three finger marks and said, I didnt want to kill Victoria Zane or Daisy Zane. I wanted the thing they held. Even if Victoria didnt have it, her head would. Thats why I wouldnt kill them. Charlotte Lane still ignored him. Edward patiently exined, My power was severely damaged back then, and many of the people Ive used since were newly recruited and not fully submissive to me. After they went to Cold Green Vige they disobeyed my orders. Charlotte hugged her knees and buried her face in them. Edward heard her crying soon after. He looked at her trembling shoulders and gently frowned. Why are you crying? he asked softly. Charlotte didnt respond, but her crying grew louder.
Was I too fierce that day? Mmm. Charlotte responded very softly. Edwards eyes started to look a bit lost. He had always thought that Enigma had be very different from before. Cold, distant, wary, and even her every step seemed calcted. But her crying now made him suddenly realize that no matter how much she changed, she was still the same little Miss. No matter how she disguised herself on the outside, it was still the same girl who would cry because he was too fierce. Edwards thoughts were suddenly jumbled by her crying. After a while, he finally reacted, moved forward, and wanted to put his hand on her back tofort her. But before he could touch her, he heard her say, Dont touch me! Edwards hand was stiff in the air, and after a moment, he withdrew it reluctantly. Alright, Enigma. Dont cry. Its my fault. Charlotte still ignored him. Edward listened to her cries for a while and then pulled the quilt over her. Charlotte pulled the quilt back and moved away from him, snatching the quilt out of his hand. Edward looked at his empty hand. Enigma, whats done is done. My apology cant change anything. What can I do to make you stop being angry?
You go away, Charlotte said. Edward pressed his lips together. If you behave, Ill take you to the Laboratory tomorrow. Get out! Edward: Dont make helping you with experiments sound like Im begging. Edward looked at the top of her head and smoothed her messy hair. Arent you curious about 319? Charlotte buried her head and didnt make a sound. Youre curious, and I need you for the experiment. We both need each other, Edward said softly. Charlotte Lane was silent for a while, and then she said, What about you hurting me? Because of her words, Edward raised his eyebrows in a good mood. You can look at all the materials and data in theboratory. You leave. Edwards eyebrows furrowed. I want to change my clothes. Im hungry. Edwards frown rxed, and he raised the corners of his mouth, getting up to leave. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Charlotte put her legs down and wiped the tears from her face. She stared at the quilt for a while. Then she got out of bed and went to the restroom. She nced at herself in the mirror, her eyes were red, and the tears had not fully dried. She looked away in disgust after a brief nce and opened the drawer under the washbasin. There was a new drawing under the medicine box. She had drawn it yesterday. It was a simple figure on the page, crying piteously against the sunlight, head down and bent over. But behind this person, the extended shadow smiled with a hint of terror. Chapter 586: 529: The Laboratory Chapter 586: Chapter 529: The Laboratory Charlotte Lane stood in front of the washbasin, expressionless as she looked at the painting in her hand. After a while, she used the lighter belonging to the restroom air freshener to set the painting on fire. The mes illuminated her cold, white skin. She watched the fire consume the painting Her reputation at the Research Institute was so great, having even suppressed 319. Edward Kirsten must have already wanted her to enter hisboratory. He was just hesitating or perhaps nning to bring it up after some time. After all, she was different from before, and Edward Kirsten was somewhat wary of her. Originally, she could have waited as well. But she didnt want to wait now. There were still so many people in the Imperial Capital waiting for her return; she couldnt risk her life here. At the very least, she couldnt risk it without even touching theboratory.
So she took a gamble. Although Edward Kirsten probably still saw through her, he simply didnt have the heart to listen to her cry, so he moved theboratory out. Regardless, it didnt matter as long as this was the result in the end. He was confident that he could keep her here. Simrly, she was also confident that she could leave this ce. It was a merepetition, and there would be a winner and a loser. The painting had been burnt to a pile of ck ashes, which fell into the washbasin. Charlotte Lane turned on the tap, washing away all the ashes. She washed her hands, then took the ointment from the medicine box and applied it bit by bit onto her neck. As he said he would, Edward Kirsten took Charlotte Lane to theboratory the next day. Moreover, he openly let Charlotte Lane see the route from their living quarters to theboratory. When they stopped the car, Charlotte Lane got out and found they were at the foot of a barren mountain. She looked at the mountain, her face speechless. Edward Kirsten looked at her expression, raised the corners of his mouth, andughed softly, Whats the matter? Do you think Im lying to you? Mr. Kirsten certainly knows himself well. Edward Kirsten chuckled, Its inside. Charlotte Lane tilted her head to look at him. Edward Kirsten also looked at her, then walked forward. Charlotte Lane followed him.
Ahead was a winding mountain path covered with weeds, so much so that the path was hardly visible. Edward Kirsten went ahead and pushed the weeds aside for her. Charlotte Lane followed behind him, curiously touching the grass. Then she pinched a leaf and stopped in her tracks. Feeling her stop, Edward Kirsten also stopped and turned to look at her.
Fake, Charlotte Lane said. Yes. Edward Kirsten nodded with a smile in his eyes. Charlotte Lane touched the other nts; all of them were fake. She had been wondering why Edward Kirsten, who should frequent theboratory, had not even made a path. It turned out that they were all fake grass, ced here to disguise that no one had been here. Charlotte Lane touched the very real-looking fake grass once more. Then she pped it, causing it to sway: All show and no substance. Edward Kirstenughed, Lets go, be careful not to scratch your legs. Charlotte Lane didnt speak. Edward Kirsten continued, Shall I carry you? Charlotte Lane snapped a rare, real grass leaf from the side and said softly, With your old age, you should be more careful yourself. How old am I? Edward Kirsten asked in return. Youre a whole generation older than me. Charlotte Lane replied. Edward Kirsten:
Back then, he didnt know exactly how old Enigma was; he could only guess her approximate age. But after learning that she was Charlotte Lane, he had looked up her age. Not that much of difference, Edward Kirsten insisted, only eleven years. Charlotte Lane hummed softly withoutmenting. Edward Kirsten suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart, like a boulder lodged there. After about ten minutes of walking, he stopped and opened a door concealed by weeds on a rocky wall. The door itself even the grass on it was fake, all integrated with the mountain. No wonder they couldnt find the Laboratory; not to mention the drone, even Charlotte herself didnt notice the door until they were up close. Lets go. Charlotte followed him inside, only to be greeted by seemingly endless descending steps. The steps were wide enough for three people to walk side by side, with wallmps installed along the walls on both sides, following the stairs downward. The two walked down together for a while before reaching a door. The door was pushed open, and the light from inside shone outwards.
The space was vast, and one couldnt see the end at first nce. Due to the lighting, they couldnt even tell that they were underground. Following Edward inside, Charlotte noticed that the people on this floor were all sorting out some files, and there was no experimental equipment in sight. Edward exined, The Laboratory is on Underground Levels 3 and 4. What is this floor for? Charlotte asked while looking around and trying to figure out the purpose of this floor from the equipmentid out. Reports brought back from outside. Edward replied calmly. Charlotte lowered her gaze to conceal the emotions in her eyes. These were reports summarizing the human experiments conducted outside. Edward continued his introduction, Underground Level 5 is the data archive, where all data and materials are stored. Level 6 is the living quarters for them. What about Underground Level 2? Charlotte inquired. Edward gently smiled, Its better for Little Enigma not to know. Charlotte clenched her fingers, walking beside him, and after a moment, she asked, Dont you think theyre innocent? How could they be innocent when they contributed their lives? Edward countered, Enigma, do you really want to discuss this with me? You should know that when we have different opinions, we only end up arguing. Charlotte pinched the tip of her index finger with her nails and stopped talking. She followed Edward to the Laboratory again.
Some of the experimental equipment was new and high-tech, while others looked ancient. If not for having seen retired devices like these in Dean Yues office, Charlotte wouldnt have even recognized what they were. Not only the experimental floors, but the entire undergroundboratory seemed to have existed for a long time. It indeed appeared to be the Kingsley Familysboratory. Charlotte spent a week in theboratory. For the first five days, she observed Edwards experiments and learned about their purpose. In thest two days, she told him about her method of suppressing 319. Edward looked at her, regretting not teaching her and involving her in experiments back then. If he had, the progress of many experiments might have been much faster. How can you be so intelligent? Edward asked. Charlotte, dressed in her radiation-protective clothes and observing his experiment, replied without looking at him, Youre just realizing that now? Edward smiled, I knew it a long time ago. Its just that youre getting more and more intelligent. Charlotte nonchntly praised, You have a good eye. Edwards mood improved somewhat, Dont you want to go see the materials in the data archive? Charlotte nced at him. You can go. Edward took off his radiation suit and handed her a key from his trouser pocket, Can you go by yourself? Charlotte took the key without hesitation and turned to leave. But she returned quickly. There were too many materials. There was noputer here, all experimental data were handwritten and organized. Although the materials in the archive were clearly categorized, Charlotte couldnt find what she wanted after looking around and came back. Why did youe back? I want to see the data on Drunken Life Grass. Charlotte answered directly. Hearing these three words, the smile in Edwards eyes gradually faded Chapter 587: 530: A Surprise from Afar Chapter 587: Chapter 530: A Surprise from Afar With the coldness of theboratory, the smile on Edward Kirstens face disappeared, making the ce even colder. Charlotte Lanes expression remained unchanged, still looking at him calmly. After a while, Edward Kirsten asked, How did you know about the Drunken Life Grass? Did Victoria Zane tell you? Charlotte Lane looked at him, her voice cold, Is it an unexpected surprise? Edward Kirsten chuckled, She really did tell you about it. Charlotte Lane didnt respond. Indeed, an unexpected surprise, said Edward Kirsten softly. So what else did she tell you? Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, Ill tell you if Im in a good mood. How can I make you happy? At least I want to see the data of the Drunken Life Grass first, said Charlotte Lane. Edward Kirsten squinted his eyes and smiled, Alright. Ill take you.
It took Charlotte Lane two days to study and remember all the data and information about the Drunken Life Grass. She then spent a lot of time studying data rted to the 319 experiment. She spent a week in theboratory. Edward Kirsten had someone prepare a resting room for her. Edward Kirsten was usually busy, so he only went home to see Charlotte Lane. Now that Charlotte Lane was in theboratory, he didnt need to worry about going home. But after a week, his experiment was not yet finished, so he decided to take Charlotte Lane back home. He felt that if he didnt take her home soon, she might copse from exhaustion in theboratory. On the way back, Charlotte Lane kept her eyes closed, resting. It wasnt until they were almost home that she opened her eyes and looked around. Awake? Charlotte Lane, observing the outside world with her beautiful phoenix eyes, spoke in a newly awakened voice, Im hungry. I wonder if theres any good food nearby. Can we eat out? Of course, Edward Kirsten looked at her, Do you want to eat steak? Theres a Western restaurant nearby. I want to eat two servings. Edward Kirsten smiled gently, Okay. Originally, they were almost at the entrance of their living quarters. The driver turned the steering wheel and set off for the Western restaurant. The area they lived in was not bustling, so it would take some time to get to the Western restaurant. After the driver changed direction, he drove half a circle around their living quarters before taking another road. After driving for a while, Charlotte Lane looked at the surrounding buildings, and her eyshes trembled slightly.
She lowered her gaze and grabbed Edward Kirstens sleeve before turning her head, Where are we? She grabbed his sleeve first and then looked at Edward Kirsten. The expression in her eyes changed quickly. When she looked at Edward Kirsten, her eyes were filled with smiles and curiosity. However, after meeting Edward Kirstens light blue eyes, her expression froze for a moment.
After a brief exchange of nces, Edward Kirsten saw Charlotte Lanes smile disappear from her eyes, and they became distant and cold. She released his sleeve and sat back in her seat. There was silence in the car for a while, and Edward Kirsten touched the spot on his sleeve where Charlotte Lane had pulled it, Do you want to go? Charlotte Lane looked at him. Ill take you there after dinner. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything, but it was clear to Edward Kirsten that her mood improved significantly. As she wished. After eating two servings of steak, Edward Kirsten took Charlotte Lane to the ce she had asked about. She was right; it was a ce simr to an indoor martial arts arena, quiterge, and also had two underground floors. Their living quarters could be considered Edward Kirstensir, so the security measures must be strict. Edward Kirsten showed her around briefly and then took her back. Back in her room, Charlotte Lane thought about the ces she had been to over the past few days. She believed there should be another martial arts arena on the other side, symmetrical to the one she visited today. However, she only took a quick look today and couldnt determine how big the martial arts arena was.
And she suspected it would be difficult to visit again. So, as soon as it was past midnight, Charlotte Lane climbed out of the window, avoiding everyone, and made her way to the martial arts arena alone. She didnt do anything, just circled around the martial arts arena and returned. The next morning, she got up and went downstairs to eat breakfast. When she got downstairs, she didnt see Edward Kirsten, but instead saw Alice Eugene who she hadnt seen for a long time. She ignored Alice Eugene and just sat down at the dining table to eat. However, she couldnt ignore Alice Eugene moving closer to her. Where is he? Charlotte Lane asked. Hes in a meeting. Alice Eugene said, Henry Kirsten told you to eat first. I never intended to wait for him. Charlotte Lane took a bite of her bread. Alice Eugene coldly watched her. Seeing her eat so avidly, she couldnt swallow a bite herself. After a while, she said: Enigma Starry, how long are you going to keep pretending? Charlotte Lane looked at her.
Ive seen what youre really like. Alice Eugene said, Who do you think would believe you when you act innocent now? Edward Kirsten would believe me. Charlotte Lane peeled an egg and took out the yolk, throwing it into Alice Eugenes bowl. Hes willing to believe what Im acting. You Alice Eugene looked at the yolk in her bowl. Charlotte Lane took a bite of her egg, and after swallowing, said: Let me tell you. As an actor, acting skills are essential for me. Especially when Im ying my past self. Her cold and slow words angered Alice Eugene, who never expected her to so readily admit it. Why dont you go tattle? Charlotte Lane said coldly and slowly. Alice Eugene was so furious she couldnt speak and just stuffed her mouth with breakfast mechanically. After a while, Edward Kirsten came down the stairs: Is the sun rising from the west? Whats the asion for you getting up so early? Charlotte Lane looked at him and said: Its cloudy today. Theres no sun. Edward Kirsten sat down at the dining table. Charlotte Lane immediately turned to him: I wanted to go to the training field. Edward Kirsten looked at her with a knowing expression: No. Its not a ce for girls to go often. Charlotte Lane looked at him coldly.
Edward Kirsten refused mercilessly: Even if you stare a hole through me, you cant go. Charlotte Lane withdrew her gaze, finished her milk, stood up, and coldly said: Who cares about going? With that, she turned around and left the restaurant, heading for the stairs. Sit downstairs for a while before going up to sleep. Edward Kirsten said. Charlotte Lane, who was about to step up the stairs, paused, turned around, and sat back down on the sofa to digest breakfast silently. Edward Kirsten smiled at her then continued eating breakfast. In the evening, Charlotte Lane went to her room to sleep when it was time. At 9 oclock local time, she was actually asleep. But by midnight, she woke up. She went to the restroom and took off the pendant around her neck at the washbasin. She slowly unraveled the red rope, and the white heart-shaped stone was revealed. Charlotte Lane applied slight force, and the stone broke apart from the glued middle. A small, button-sized ck object fell out. Charlotte Lane picked up the ck button and pricked it with a needle in the middle. At the same time, far away in the Imperial Capital, which was still daytime. Harton rk, William Lane, Hugo rk, Xavier Dominic, Robinson Scott, Luke, James Collins, Thomas Firway and others were sitting together discussing matters. Harton rk erged the map on the screen in front of them: The eastern and southern parts of Continent A are where Edward Kirsten is most likely to be. Send someone to secretly investigate first Before he could finish, several harsh rm sounds rang out. Everyone was startled. Then, almost everyone grabbed their cell phones. Because the rm sounds wereing from their phones. When they opened their phones, they all saw the same image on everyones screen. A photo of Charlotte Lane. Beside the photo, it read: A surprise from afar. Everyone froze, staring at their phones motionlessly, as if they had turned into wax statues. Then, after about ten seconds, the photo disappeared. Their screens showed a map, with a blinking red dot revealing Charlotte Lanes current location. Chapter 588: 531: Really Not Obedient Chapter 588: Chapter 531: Really Not Obedient All eyes widened, staring at the blinking red dot on the map. Shock and disbelief spread rapidly. Kevin rks grip on his cell phone tightened suddenly, his heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of his chest. He stared at the red dot disyed on the map, his throat dry and aching, and the corners of his eyes turning gradually red. After a moment, he swallowed hard and hoarsely said, Juan Wright,puter. Only then did everyone react and look at him. Juan Wright immediately stood up and went to fetch his ownputer. The content on Kevins cell phone was synchronized to theputer, and theputer was synchronized to the screen in the meeting room. The location zoomed in. Charlotte Lane was in a small town in the southern part of Continent A. Everyones gaze shifted from the screen to Kevin rk. Allonzo Hobson eximed, Shes really there! Holy shit, Kevin This is unbelievable. Luke also couldnt help but nod in admiration. Continent A had always been their main focus of surveince, so when it was pinpointed in Continent A, Luke didnt hold out for too much hope. He came here just to carry out his orders. It was truly unexpected that Edward Kirsten had actually chosen this ce for hisir.
Continent As area is vast and its geography diverse. It took a long time to explore even after narrowing down the search to the southern and eastern regions. Especially since Edward Kirsten was so adept at hiding and disguising both people and ces. Charlotte Lanes location was provided just in time. Third Master Juan Wright looked at hisputer and said, Teacher gave the positioning and routes, and we can see where she has been with the locator. Take a look, Kevin rk said in a deep voice. Juan Wright tapped a few keys on the keyboard, pressed Enter, and a clear route map appeared. It started from the Rose Garden, winding through many ces before finally reaching a temporary resting ce. After staying at the temporary resting ce for a long time, the movement continued all the way to Continent A Meanwhile, in Continent A, Charlotte Lane sent her location to them, then wedged the button-like locator in a crack between the restroom wall tiles. She then fixed the pendant and wound the red rope back up its original form little by little. As she did so, she thought about the people in Imperial Capital. She didnt think too much about the others, but Kevin rk must have been gritting his teeth, cursing her as a stinky girl in his heart as he looked at her photo. As this thought crossed her mind, Charlotte Lane lifted the corner of her mouth slightly, restored the pendant, hung it around her neck, and then left the restroom to sleep. She slept soundly. Meanwhile, the group at Imperial Capital stared at her moving route map for nearly two hours, even with the fast-forward feature. It took two hours just to get a rough idea of the process. Then, everyone summed it up with one sentence. With Edward Kirstens circuitous routes, it would be difficult for them to find him even if he didnt disguise himself on the road. But Kevin rk still found him. Erge the part on Continent A, Kevin rk said. Juan Wright did as instructed.
Now, the map they were looking at was the one showing all the routes after they had stopped. The blue routes on the map, as some ces had been visited repeatedly, were winding and winding, looking like a random scribble on the map with a pen. At first nce, it looked like a messy bundle of lines. However, everyone present had excellent memories, and just by looking once, they had memorized Charlotte Lanes movements over the past few days.
Kevin rk took Juan Wrightsputer and moved his mouse, saying, Here This should be where they live. Thats right. Once Brook Sister arrived in Continent A, she went straight to this area, Allonzo Hobson said. It must be the living quarters. The living quarters had the most blue lines and the messiest. With the current blinking red dot as the target, by removing the extra blue lines, they could determine that she had been to eight locations. The lines connecting these eight locations should be the approximate area of the residence. The clearest part of the blue line was the open area to the southeast of the residence. It was a single circle that measured the area of a certain ce. The next clear part was a mountain far away from the living quarters. Allonzo Hobson said, Based on the timeline, Brook Sister stayed on this mountain for at least two weeks. This mountain The Kingsley Familysboratory, William Lane said. Kevin rk silently agreed. Holy shit! Allonzo Hobson eximed. Its incredible that theboratory is set up in the mountain. Hugo rk pointed to the single circle and said, This ce could be a training field or something like that. Butpared to the living quarters the area might be a little too small. Even if there are multiple floors, it wouldnt fit many people. Kevin rk scrolled the map with his mouse. The cursornded on the southwest: There should be another location here. Or the northeast and northwest areas as well. Surrounding and protecting the residence. Everyone looked at the screen and fell silent for a while. Allonzo Hobson then said, So, can we leave now to pick up Brook Sister? We have found the location of theboratory, and she has also provided her location to us. Shall we go?
Kevin rk looked at the map without saying anything. When it came to finding Charlotte Lane, he had been more anxious than anyone. But now that she had been found, he fell silent. William Lane looked at Allonzo Hobson, Why are you more anxious than me, her brother? Allonzo Hobson raised his eyebrows, Well, Brook Sister I practically watched her grow up Everyone looked at Allonzo Hobson. Even Kevin rk looked up at him. Allonzo Hobson swallowed back his words, then changed the subject, Brook Sister is really amazing. She managed to sync her location to so many peoples phones. Impressive, right? No one responded to him. Allonzo Hobson turned to Robinson Scott. Robinson Scott pursed his lips, then forced out four words through clenched teeth: Yes, very impressive. Allonzo Hobsonughed. Luke nced at Robinson Scott and also chuckled, thinking: Evil people always find their match. He felt that all of Robinson Scotts thorns had been smoothed out.
In Continent A, Charlotte Lane rested for two days at the living quarters before following Edward Kirsten to theboratory. At theboratory, she began doing her own experiments, and Edward Kirsten did not stop her. Because they were more focused on the experiments, their time together was harmonious. Three dayster, while Charlotte was working on her experiments, Alice Eugene arrived. Edward Kirsten followed Alice Eugene out of theboratory, and Charlotte nced at them before continuing with her experiment. Outside theboratory, Alice Eugene lowered her voice and said, Mr. Kirsten, weve discovered people from Dark Radiance. Edward Kirsten looked in the direction of theboratory and clucked his tongue. They just wont behave. Then he asked, Are there many people? Have they found Kevin rk? There are quite a few, but we havent seen Kevin rk yet, Alice Eugene replied. Enigma Starry exposed her location, and she still had a locator on her. Edward Kirstenughed, Wait until we find Kevin rks whereabouts, and then make a move. Yes, Alice Eugenes eyes shed with excitement.
Chapter 589: 532: This Is the Price You Have to Pay Chapter 589: Chapter 532: This Is the Price You Have to Pay Another day in theboratory, Edward Kirsten brought Charlotte Lane back to their living quarters. The next day, Alice Eugene brought back news that theyd found Kevin rks whereabouts. Edward Kirsten told her to go set things up at the training field in advance. After Alice had left, he went upstairs to find Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lanes room was veryrge. One side was used for sleeping, and the other was as big as two bedrooms. Apart from the cloakroom, the rest was all dedicated to her hobbies. Without leaving her room, she could do everything she loved. When Edward Kirsten came to find her, she was painting with watercolors. On the easel was an unfinished rose. Charlotte Lane nced at him, said nothing, and continued to paint. Edward Kirsten pulled up a chair and sat next to her and watched her paint for a while before he said, Ive nted a rose field. If you have time, do you want me to take you to see it? Charlotte Lane nced at him again, then nodded her head.
Edward Kirstens gaze slipped past the red rope around her neck, then onto the ring on her hand before finally looking at her painting. He sat next to her, stayed until she finished painting, before finally leaving. The next day, they went to theboratory as usual. After two days at theboratory, Edward Kirsten answered a phone call, and then past 10 PM, he called on Charlotte Lane to return home. Coming down from the mountain and getting into the car, Charlotte Lane closed her eyes to rest as usual. However, about twenty minutester she suddenly opened her eyes and looked outside. She nced at the scenery outside, then turned her head to look at Edward Kirsten, This isnt the way back home? Where are we going? To see the rose field. This time, this season. Charlotte Lane nced again at the unfamiliar scenery outside, Edward Kirsten, you Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of an explosion from far away. She immediately looked through the back of the car. It was too far away to see anything. But one sound after another, it was indeed the sound of an explosion. Charlotte Lane shifted her gaze back to Edward Kirsten. Edward Kirsten had a mocking smile in his eyes, Our living ce, and the training field next to it is exploding. Charlotte Lane tightened her fingers, her face slowly draining of color. Edward Kirsten looked at her and said, A few days ago Kevin rk came here. The window was filled with street scenes moving backward, the light from the streetmps illuminated the inside of the car, making it flicker between light and dark.
Upon hearing Edward Kirstens words, Charlotte Lanes mind became gradually empty. As long as Kevin rk step foot in our residence, those ces explode. Edward Kirsten said in a drawled tone, We are so far away and yet we can hear the explosions. The force all thats left to find are nothing but bones. Charlotte Lane instinctively raised her hand wanting to p him. But this time, Edward Kirsten gripped her wrist and prevented her from letting the pnd, Enigma Starry, you cant me me. I told you, if youre obedient, they will all live. Why are you so disobedient?
Charlotte Lanes hand that was being held by him began to shake slightly, and her eyes gradually turned a wicked red. It was you who told Kevin rk our location. You let hime here to their death. Edward Kirsten said word by word, Maybe it wasnt just Kevin rk. Perhaps William Lane came, and that Henry Horton too. Their deaths are all because of your disobedience. Enigma Starry, did you ce the locator at our residence? Edward Kirsten added on, You were afraid I would get it, and use the locator to lure Kevin rk and the others to other ces, then annihte them once and for all. But have you ever thought that the ce to wipe them out is actually our residence? Charlotte Lanes other hand tightened around the pen in her pocket. I was originally going to find your locator. Edward Kirsten said, But then I thought, you definitely wouldnt carry it on you anymore, and so I didnt bother. Edward Kirstens thumb caressed her pulse point, and watched her expression gradually turn cold, numb, and heartless, I said before, having cared for you for so long, I know you too well. Stop ying little tricks in front of me. This is the price. Charlotte Lane looked at him for a while, the rims of her blood-red eyes became wet, but her expression was the utmost calm. She pulled her hand out of his grasp and looked outside the car. She remained silent until they got out of the car. Half an hourter, the car drove into the courtyard. As soon as they stopped, Charlotte Lane immediately got out of the car. She nced around, it was a ce identical to the one that had just been bombed. Based on the time and route it took to get here, this ce seemed to be axially aligned with the mountain where theboratory was located, existing symmetrically with her original residence. The car drove away, and she stood still.
Edward Kirsten noticed that her reaction was a bit off. She wasnt crying or making a fuss, but rather was too calm, tooposed. He approached her, and called out to her: Enigma Starry. Charlotte Lane looked up at him, her beautiful phoenix eyes were calm, chillingly so: Edward Kirsten, since Ive paid the price, its time for you to do the same. Edward Kirstens eyebrows knitted slightly. Charlotte Lanes hand, which had been hanging by her side, suddenly lifted, holding a pen, and aimed at Edward Kirstens neck. Edward Kirstens pupils tightened, and he quickly sidestepped, avoiding the quick stab. The tip of the pen shed coldly, and after Edward Kirsten dodged, the pen tip left a shallow scratch on his neck. Edward Kirsten touched his neck, and then looked at Charlotte Lane: Enigma Starry! Have you gone mad! Isnt it normal for me, who you raised, to be mad? Charlotte Lane came forward again, each time, aiming for Edward Kirstens life. She had never sparred with Edward Kirsten before, she didnt know how good hisbat skills were. Now, as they battled, she could feel his prowess. But he was still inferior to Harton rk.
Which meant she could beat him. The two fought, and the people nearby were all on alert, but Edward Kirsten gave no order, so they dared not move. After a few more rounds, Charlotte Lane, having discerned Edward Kirstens evasion direction, stabbed her pen towards him. She was just about to hit her mark, when suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Feeling the danger, she had to dodge. The bullet passed through her lifted hair, knocking off a strand. Had she hesitated for half a second longer, she might have lost her life there and then. Taking advantage of the moment she dodged the bullet, Edward Kirsten put a safe distance between them. And that gunshot seemed like a signal, the surrounding people all drew their guns, chambered a round, all pointed at Charlotte Lane. Alice Eugene, gun in hand, stood by Edward Kirstens side. The shot just now, had been fired by her. Under the cover of the dark night, Charlotte Lane faced countless gun muzzles without any hesitation. She caressed the pen in her hand, looking at Edward Kirsten. Edward Kirsten was also looking at her, astonishment and rage in his eyes: Enigma Starry, you actually tried to kill me. Charlotte Lane casually raised an eyebrow: Didnt you say, a corpse is the most obedient.
Edward Kirsten chuckled softly: What a vicious little wolf Ive raised. Indeed. Charlotte Lane said coldly, And so this is the price you pay for raising me. Enigma Starry. Edward Kirstens voice turned cold, Ive killed countless people, but for you Ive shown nothing but tenderness. Are you really going against me, want to kill me, over those people? Edward Kirsten, are you ying the emotional card now? Charlotte Lane sounded as cold and hard as stone, devoid of emotion, Even if I dont kill you today, would you dare to keep me by your side? Since things have alreadye to the point where you could only keep me as a corpse by your side, why bother saying so much? Are you unwilling? Cant you make up your mind? Edward Kirsten didnt say a word. Charlotte Lane let out a snort ofughter: Dont worry. Even if I were to turn into a corpse, I wouldnt be yours. Edward Kirstens gaze grew increasingly gloomier, but he still didnt speak, even held back Alice Eugenes gun-wielding hand, fearing she might give themand to fire. Just then, the surrounding area was filled with the deafening sounds of gunfire, and small range explosions. The gun muzzles that were originally aimed at Charlotte Lane, were now mostly pointed towards the surrounding area. Alice Eugenes face changed drastically, she also looked towards the outside. Edward Kirsten frowned, his expression turning quite grim. Suddenly, a chorus of wolf howls pierced through the sounds of gunshots. Howl, howl, howl~~~~~ Charlotte Lane looked at the fiery glow illuminating the distant horizon, listening to the wolf howls, a faint hint of a smile appeared in her hard, murderous eyes. Chapter 590: 533: Underestimating Kevin Clark Chapter 590: Chapter 533: Underestimating Kevin rk When she heard the explosion at her original residence, Charlotte Lane was genuinely frightened. But she quickly calmed down. She trusts Kevin rk. And Kevin rk has never let her down. The gunshots and the cries from the Silver Pce around her all tell her that Kevin rk ising to pick her up. The gunshots around her are getting closer, and someone runs in from outside. When he approached, Alice Eugene grabbed his cor tightly and harshly asked, What happened! Its the people from Dark Radiance. The person stuttered, And the people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion, and a group of people with unknown power. How could it be them! Wasnt the residence blown up! Alice shouted. Yes, it was blown up. But the brother in charge of detonating didnt send any message. They disappeared. Alice threw him off: A bunch of useless people!
After scolding them, she looked at Edward Kirsten. Compared to Alices excitement and anger, Edward Kirsten was much calmer. He looked at Charlotte Lane and ordered Alice, Then well face the enemy head-on. Yes. Alice nodded and left. Before leaving, she red at Charlotte Lane. There are still many gun muzzles pointed at Charlotte Lane, who didnt dare to move recklessly for a moment. I really underestimated Kevin rk. Edward Kirsten said. Charlotte Lane looked at him without speaking. What do you think what will be the oue tonight? Edward Kirsten looked at Charlotte Lane gently. Charlotte Lane said, Do you think you still have a chance of winning? Of course, there is. Although its small, theres still a chance. Edward Kirsten said, As long as there is, we shouldnt give up, right? Yes. Charlotte Lane said. Edward Kirsten looked at her and said after a moment of silence, You seem to have a lot of confidence in Kevin rk. Yes. Charlotte Lane replied. Edward Kirsten smiled, Do you think Kevin rk, whos outside the periphery, can save you from so many gun muzzles? Charlotte Lane also gave a soft smile, He can try. Do you think Ill be willing to? Edward Kirsten asked again. Its just a matter of moving your lips, whats there to be reluctant about? Charlotte Lane said. Edward Kirstens smile was bitter, and he seemed to have no sense of urgency for his life being threatened. His voice suddenly softened, Enigma I suddenly think it would be nice for us to die together. In the darkness, Charlotte Lanes eyes shed. Wait and see. Edward Kirsten said, Lets see if we will die together tonight, or if Kevin rk and his group will die together.
Charlotte Lane nced at the road beside her, and just as she was about to gather strength, Edward Kirsten suddenly called out to her, Enigma. She looked up at him. Lets chat for a while. Charlotte Lane looked at him and didnt move anymore.
Edward Kirstens face had a gentle smile, Little Enigma, have you ever thought about what would have happened if I hadnt saved you back then? I have thought about it. Charlotte Lane said softly, Most likely, I wouldnt have had the chance to stand here. The wide courtyard was bathed in dim light, struggling against the darkness. It was surrounded by gunshots and fighting sounds. The two of them stood at a distance of seven or eight meters, and the people holding guns next to them became the only quiet ce amidst the chaos. Edward Kirsten kept looking at Charlotte Lanes face: When I picked you up at the time, I also thought of throwing you into theboratory as one of the many subjects. Why didnt you do it? Charlotte Lane was genuinely curious. Based on her understanding over the years and the information obtained from Alozon Kirsten, Edward Kirsten has been cold-hearted since he was young. He had a poor understanding of any emotions. He didnt have much affection for his parents or sister. In his eyes, there was only what his father told him was right or wrong. Just like how his father told him to protect Harris Kirsten, he protected her. But there were no extra emotions. He was too much like a robot programmed by a father. But to her, Edward Kirsten was different.
If I were to say why Edward Kirsten really thought about it, but he couldnte up with an answer, I dont know. Charlotte Lane furrowed her brows slightly because of his answer. Maybe its because Enigma is too beautiful, Edward Kirsten smiled and said, The moment I saw you, I wanted to be kind to you and protect you. So I cant answer that why. Charlotte Lane didnt respond. Edward Kirsten didnt say anything either. The two looked at each other, listening to the gradually approaching gunfire. As another explosion sounded, Charlotte Lane quickly turned and ran behind a rockery. Some of the gunshots aimed at her were fired instinctively. Dont shoot! Edward Kirsten yelled. Charlotte Lanes speed was fast, but a bullet still grazed her arm. She managed to dodge just in time, and the bullet only ripped through her clothes rather than her skin. Edward Kirsten signaled for the surrounding people to surround her from behind the rockery, but when they arrived there, they found that no one was there at all. Edward Kirsten was also dumbfounded for a moment. Then he looked towards the peach blossom tree by the wall in the backyard.
Charlotte Lane climbed the peach blossom tree and reached the second floor of the vi. Edward Kirsten tried to go inside the vi to find her, but at this moment, the people outside broke into the courtyard. He couldnt enter the vi and started fighting with the intruders. The fighting outside was still fierce, but as soon as some people broke in, many retreated back and focused on protecting Edward Kirsten. Meanwhile, Charlotte Lane went straight to Alice Eugene and Edward Kirstens room after entering the vi. She found two guns in their room, checked if they had bullets and were usable, and then went back downstairs to help. The outside battle continued. Charlotte Lane didnt see anyone she recognized. Not only could she not see the desired Kevin rk, but she couldnt even see Edward Kirsten, who was surrounded by people. She didnt care too much about that, found cover, and started shooting at people. A portion of the firepower was directed at her from behind as she was being attacked. The battlested a long time, and Edward Kirstens men gradually decreased in number. Finally, Charlotte Lane saw Kevin rks figure.
She had discarded seven or eight guns beside her, all of which were her own used guns, taken from the opponents hands. After finishing off the people around her, she nced at Kevin rk again and started looking for Edward Kirsten. Edward Kirsten disappeared at some point. But they were trapped in the outer perimeter and couldnt escape anyway. Keeping an eye on her surroundings, Charlotte Lane searched for Edward Kirsten. Aside from Edward Kirstens men, she was the most familiar with this ce. There was a narrow path connecting the front courtyard to the backyard, and Charlotte Lane moved slowly along it. Suddenly, she felt something was off, and at the same time, voices were heard from afarKevin rk and William Lane shouted, L! Charlotte Lane dodged one bullet to the side, but another one immediately followed. There were snipers on the other side, and at this speed there was more than one. Charlotte Lane dodged again, but as she ran behind a pir, a third bullet came in. The snipers were predicting her next position, so Charlotte Lane immediately changed directions, catching a glimpse of a figure in her peripheral vision rushing towards her. Everything happened too quickly for Charlotte Lane to even recognize who the figure was; instinctively, she grabbed the person, intending to dodge with them. However, the person used a force in the opposite direction, protecting her by holding her in their arms. Charlotte Lane heard the sound of a bullet passing through a body, and the scalding hot blood sttered on her neck. Her whole body ran cold, and she immediately turned her head to look at the person who had protected her. Edward Kirstens left chest was drenched in red on his white suit Chapter 591: 534: Being a Good Person Chapter 591: Chapter 534: Being a Good Person Edward Kirsten pulled Charlotte Lane to his right side, protecting her with his body. The bullet went through his left chest and fell to the ground. Charlotte stared at Edward in shock, her ears buzzing. Edward looked down at her and forced a smile. Following that, he could no longer support himself and fell to the ground. Charlotte grabbed his arm, and as he fell, she knelt beside him, preventing him from lying directly on the ground. Wooden nks were beneath them, making a thud sound when they fell. Edward grabbed her sleeve: Does it hurt? Charlotte stared at Edward, still numb, and not responding. As the blood on Edwards chest slowly spread, her eyes gradually filled with tears. I have to admit, although I thought about dying together, in the end, I still hope you can live. Since Edward was shot, the sniper had not fired again.
Harton rk ran over from a distance, but when he saw the scene, he stopped and did not approach. William Lane and Xavier Dominic arrived after a while. Noticing Hartons distance, they also stood still and watched. As soon as the two arrived, Harton turned to face the other direction, no longer observing Charlotte and Edward. When he came, he had nned to pull Charlotte up and take her away. However, after taking just one step forward, he stepped back and stopped, securing the surroundings instead. Enigma, Im sorry. Edward gripped Charlottes sleeve, I shouldnt have fought you that day. Charlotte looked at him, unable to speak. From the moment Harton attacked, Edward knew he had lost. The words he spoke earlier were his farewell to her. I nted a rosefield in the backyard, but the season is off; the flowers havent bloomed yet. I havent taken you to see it. Edward finished speaking and suddenly coughed a few times. Blood spurted from his mouth, staining his pale skin a sharp red. Charlottes tears fell on his clothes. Edward wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but he had no strength left. Enigma, dont cry. His voice was weak, Youre not pretty when you cry. The sky gradually brightened as the darkness dissipated. Edward struggled to look at Charlottes face, his breath getting weaker with every gasp: Enigma, Im really happy to know you. Those years were the happiest for me. His grip on her sleeve loosened, and he smiled weakly: If there is a next life, I dont want to be a bad guy anymore. Ill be born into a good family, be a good person, and not make Enigma hate me. After saying this, Edward took onest look at Charlotte, slowly closed his eyes, and released her sleeve. Charlotte knelt on the ground, holding his clothes, staring at him for a long time. Finally, she closed her eyes and started crying softly.
William watched and sighed softly before speaking: Harton. Harton turned and walked towards Charlotte, squatting beside her: Little girl. Hearing his voice, Charlotte buried her face in his chest, clutching his clothes. Harton hugged her tight and stroked her head: Its okay, its over, its all in the past.
Xavier looked at them, feeling ufortable as well. For him and Brook Sister, Edward was aplicated existence. More than ten years ago, if Edward Kirsten hadnt brought her back, they might never have seen her again. And in the end, that person still died saving her, right in front of them. After a while, Silver Pce came over with Luke and Logan. The sounds of gunfire and battle around them disappeared; everything hade to an end. Luke and Logan stopped beside William Lane, while Silver Pce approached Charlotte Lane. Silver Pce circled around her a couple of times, tail dragging, then sat down behind her, raising a paw to touch her head. Kevin rk expressionlessly moved its paw away. Silver Pce was wearing a bulletproof vest, its face covered in blood and its eyes fierce. It had its paw moved away and then used another front paw to press on Charlotte Lanes back. Kevin rk mercilessly moved it away again. Silver Pce wrinkled its nose and bared its teeth at him, then stood up, circled around again, andy down next to Charlotte Lanes leg. Logan rolled his eyes at Kevin rks actions.
Everything ended, and the battlefield was cleaned up. Charlotte Lane draped Kevin rks clothes over herself as she went to wash her face. Kevin rk waited outside the vi, while Gael Easton and his men were on the outermost periphery. They now came over to find Kevin rk. Wheres that annoying little girl? Kevin rk tilted his chin towards the inside of the vi: Shes washing her face. Gael Easton looked inside, seeing no oneing out, and said, Something strange happened. The sniper across from usmitted suicide. Kevin rk looked at him. Charlotte Lane was targeted by the sniper, and Gael Eastons men were closest to the location the sniper wanted. So Kevin rk ordered Gael Eastons men to deal with it through the earpiece. There were a total of three snipers, including Alice Eugene, Gael Easton said. When my men arrived, the three were dead. Alice cut her carotid artery with Dagger. The other two judging from their wounds, Alice killed them. A dark light shed through Kevin rks eyes for an instant. He thought the sniper stopped suddenly because Gael Eastons men arrived on time. But it turns out they stopped on their own. And they stopped after killing Edward Kirsten, with the girl unharmed.
If he were a sniper, faced with someone he despised, he wouldnt miss such a good opportunity. I just heard Edward Kirsten took a bullet for the girl, Gael Easton said in a lowered voice. Do you think this was on purpose? Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, his eyes seeming to say, How did you suddenly be so insightful? Gael Easton didnt pay much attention to Kevin rks look, and continued analyzing, Actually for Edward Kirsten, tonight was a dead end. He knew he couldnt get out, that he was going to die no matter what. But if he died by taking a bullet for the girl Gael Easton made a disgusted sound, With her character, shell remember him for the rest of her life. This guy was still scheming till the very end Damn it! Whats with that look youre giving me? Like Im an idiot! Gael Easton finally noticed Kevin rks expression. Kevin rk didnt look at him anymore. Gael Easton was quiet for a moment before continuing, Ive heard about the feud between Alice Eugene and the girl for a long time. Years ago, Alice was the one who tipped me off to kill the girl. With such a deep grudge, what do you think made Alice not kill her butmit suicide? Ordinarily, she wouldnt listen to Edward Kirsten when it came to the girl. Kevin rk hesitated for a moment then said, Maybe deep down, she wanted to be the only person to apany Edward Kirsten in the afterlife. Or maybe for once in her life, shepletely obeyed an order. Gael Easton listened and nodded in agreement, Edward Kirsten how to deal with him? Hundred Demons Pavilion is handling it, Kevin rk replied. As for the details, well let her decide. Gael Easton nodded again, Thats true, its her business, let her deal with it.
Chapter 592: 535: Getting into Big Trouble Chapter 592: Chapter 535: Getting into Big Trouble Charlotte Lane stepped out of the vi after washing her face and saw Gael Easton standing at the entrance. Her expression was back to normal, but her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Youre here too? Gael hummed augh and teased, Yeah. Arent you surprised? Why wouldnt Ie for the opportunity to let you owe me a favor? Today, Im doing you guys a favor, so tomorrow, youll both have to help me out. Hes referring to what she said at the airportst time, about notplicating their rtionship and just using each others power. You have a high level of awareness, Charlotte Lane said lightly, But your luck isnt very good. Youve met someone like me whos cold-hearted and loves to take advantage. Dont worry, if you need help, Ill definitely bring people to watch. You! Gael was choked with anger. Kevin rk was standing beside them with no expression and did not join in their banter. Charlotte took a nce at Gael: Thanks. Huh? Gael thought his ear was broken. But it wont change the fact that Ill be watching the fun. Charlotte added.
Gael: His ear was still intact. When things here were almost dealt with, Charlotte went back with them to their base in Continent A. On the way, there were seven of them in one car, including the driver. There was a bloody smell on each person in the car, and they had to open the windows for venttion. After the car had been driven for a while, Allonzo Hobson said, Brook Sister, were you frightened when the explosion happened? Charlotte Lane, with Kevin rk on her left and Roy Madison on her right, nodded her head. Dont worry, Brother Nine, Robinson Scott, who was sitting next to Allonzo Hobson, said. None of our people were lost. Charlotte nodded again, and although she didnt say anything, her gaze at Robinson Scott and Allonzo Hobson told them to continue. Allonzo Hobson said, Our Third Masters brain is not an ordinary one. When we saw the positioning, our first reaction was toe to you. But when our Third Master saw the positioning, he immediately sent people to Continent A to deliberately expose their tracks in a concealed way. Charlottes face showed a hint of a smile. Third Master directlyunched a counter-surveince operation, Allonzo Hobson said. In a short time, he figured out their plot, andst night, we took the initiative to throw a thunderstorm at them, followed by a sky-high explosion. Then we let the people who were secretly monitoring outside theboratory follow you to the location, surrounded it, and attacked. Charlotte nced at Kevin rk. Kevin rk didnt look at her, but just lowered his gaze. However, the hand holding hers tightened slightly. And whats the most annoying thing, do you know, Brook Sister? What? Charlotte Lane asked. When we asked him why he thought it was like this, Allonzo Hobsonined. This guy just said: I dont know, its just a feeling. Perhaps it was because Allonzo Hobsons tone was so angry and funny. Everyone in the carughed except for Kevin rk. Kevin rk seemed like a person who had exhausted his energy and left only an empty shell, with his inside in hibernation.
Sure enough, among the gods who descended to earth, only I am a mortal, Allonzo Hobson sighed. But fortunately, someones carrying me along, so Im basically winning byying down. Charlotte Lanes lips curled slightly, then turned her head again to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rk had lost a lot of weight. It made his appearance even sharper.
Kevin rk, youve lost a lot of weight, Charlotte Lane whispered. Kevin rks drooping eyes blinked gently, and then he turned his head to look at Charlotte Lane. But after looking, he didnt say anything and just lowered his gaze again. Charlotte Lane: Allonzo Hobson, Robinson Scott, and Hugo rk were all watching them. Roy Madison, sitting on Charlotte Lanes right, naturally saw the look in Kevin rks eyes. For the first time in his life, he wanted to side with the man between his sister and a man. Kevin rk had lost at least more than twenty pounds in this period. Looking at his sister, on the other hand, her face was glowing and she might even have gained some weight. Kevin rk had been worried and had hardly slept in his time in Imperial Capital Roy Madison remained silent, too. At this moment, what could Kevin rk say? Although Arthur North didnt say anything, he gently caressed Robinson Scotts hand with his thumb, reassuring her and letting her know that he was fine.
They spent half a month in Continent A,pletely emptying the Kingsley familysboratory and bringing everything back home. The people on the underground Level 2 were also rescued. Most of them were not in life-threatening condition, but some were difficult to treat. During this half month, while they moved those objects, Robinson Scott organized the data in her head and came up with a solution for the 319 problems. However, it required experimental verification. Apart from that, Robinson Scott found Arthur North to be unusually calm. More than calm, she felt that Arthur North could even be described as cold. Regarding the drugging and escape incident, Robinson Scott always thought Arthur North would hold a major grudge against her. But Arthur North didnt bring it up at all, or even mention the incident. During the half month they spent in Continent A, they lived and ate together, and Arthur North still took care of her as before. He would serve her food, peel shrimp for her, blow-dry her hair at night, hug her while sleeping and give her a gentle kiss on her brow. But these were all the interactions between them.
During the day, they were both busy, so they didnt have much time to talk. Most of their conversations were about theboratory. Moreover, it wasnt just towards her, Arthur North talked less with everyone, and seldom smiled. He would still smile at her, but his smile seemed tock the tenderness it once had. After half a month, they all returned home. Robinson Scott went back to the Lane Family with William Lane first. Arthur North didnt follow her; instead, he sent Charles Amos to the Lane Family an hour after she got home. Robinson Scott began to consider the possibility of marital discord. She spent a week at the Lane Family, and Arthur North only called her every night without mentioning picking her up. The possibility of marital discord grew greater. Robinson Scott didnt know if her mood was affecting her, but her appetite decreased a lot. After being forced to stay at home and rest for a week by her parents, she decided to go to the Research Institute. On the morning of the day she was to go to the Research Institute, Arthur North suddenly appeared at her home and took her away.
On the way, Robinson Scott noticed they werent heading to the Research Institute and wondered if they might be going to the Civil Affairs Bureau instead? Robinson Scott started to feel carsick again and felt nauseous. Just when she was about to talk to Arthur North, the car stopped at a manor house. Robinson Scott looked at the sprawling manor, which was still under construction, and asked, Wheres this? Emperor Winter Mansion. The ce I live. Arthur North helped her unbuckle her seat belt and said, Before I lived at rk Manor, I used to live here. Robinson Scott followed him out of the car. As soon as she got out, Arthur North quickly grabbed her hand. Robinson Scott felt the urgency in his grip, as if he was afraid she would run away. Arthur North led her by the hand and took her straight to the bedchamber. Robinson Scott was still uncertain about why they hade to the bedchamber this early in the morning when she suddenly heard the sound of a door lock. She paused, her excitement at admiring the manor and room disappearing in an instant. Two words immediately came to her mind: Its done. Arthur North stood by the door, watching her while slowly undoing his cuff. His eyes became more sinister, and he chuckled, Madam, how do you feel about this ce? Robinson Scott calmly looked into his eyes, not wanting to answer his question. All of it suddenly made sense. There was no marital discord, she had been duped. She had been tricked big time, Arthur North was here waiting to settle the score with her. Cold and calm, they were just Arthur North suppressing his emotions. Letting her return to the Lane Family for a week was just to set the stage for keeping her locked up here. This would be where she would never be allowed to go home again in the future. Chapter 593: 536: Lock It Up Chapter 593: Chapter 536: Lock It Up Kevin rks suppressed emotions suddenly erupted like a copsing mountain and a falling sea. His terrifying aura filled the spacious bedchamber. Charlotte Lane felt the oppressive atmosphere slowly creeping into her body through her pores. She hadnt seen Kevin rk like this in a long time. Though not as ruthless as when he had trained her in the past, it was still horrifying enough. She looked at Kevin rk, blinking her eyes. What are you thinking? Kevin rk asked her, Using drugs on me again and running away once more? Keeping herposure, Charlotte stepped back twice and examined the structure of the bedchamber. Then she nodded and replied to his previous question, The room is nice. As long as Madam likes it. Kevin rk said softly. Mhm. Decorate other ces in this style. Charlotte said with an inspection-like tone, I have no other suggestions. Lets go to the Research Institute. As she spoke, she hurriedly walked past him towards the exit.
But just as she reached the door, before the lock was opened, a gust of wind blew from behind, and Kevin rk grabbed her hand, making her turn around. He then bent down, hoisting her over his shoulder, and headed back into the bedchamber. When he held her hand, her instinct was to counterattack, but in the end, she didnt move. After all, she was the one who had deceived him first. Upon entering the bedchamber, Kevin rk roughly threw her onto the bed. The soft bed wouldnt hurt her. Charlotte sank into the bed and bounced back up. She frowned, suppressing her nauseous feeling. Just as she propped herself up to sit, Kevin rks leg knelt between her thighs, leaned forward, and pressed her shoulders down onto the bed. Kevin rk. Why arent you calling me Brother Kevin anymore? Kevin rks eyes turned red and his gaze filled with lingering resentment, You were fine calling me that the other day. That cant always happen. Charlotte said softly. Kevin rk didnt respond. Charlotte tried to move unsessfully, I have to do an experiment. Didnt you say I could lock you up or do whatever I want once we got back? Kevin rks narrow eyes fixed on her, What now? Are you going back on your word? Charlotte remained calm, so her words sounded extremely convincing, Did I say that? Maybe it was a side effect of the drug, causing hallucinations? Kevin rk narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, Fine. As soon as the word left his mouth, he lowered himselfpletely onto her body. Charlotte involuntarily clenched the bedsheets. Kevin rks slender fingers grazed her face before gripping her cheeks, forcing her mouth open and kissing her deeply.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of oppression closed in. Kevin rk kissed her fiercely. Charlottes hands pressed on his shoulders and, after a while, pushed him away forcefully. As she caught her breath, Kevin rk gave her a wild, beast-like look and lowered his head again. Her neck was covered in soft, gentle kisses.
Just as her hand slid from his shoulder, Kevin rk bit into her neck. Charlotte let out a soft moan and involuntarily frowned. With her skin pierced, Charlotte felt a momentary sensation of being prey held down by a wild beast, about to be torn apart and devoured. Kevin rk. Charlotte called him again. Her usually cold voice now sounding somewhat hoarse. Kevin rk released his bite, gazing at the bead of blood emerging from her neck before lowering his head and tenderly wiping it away with his lips. Charlotte Lane let out a gentle sigh, closed her eyes, and said, Kevin rk, I need to go to the Research Institute. I have experiments to verify. Wait another two days, Kevin rk whispered, kissing the spot where he had bitten her. Huh? In two more days, yourboratory at the Research Institute will be moved here. Charlotte opened her eyes, staring nkly at the ceiling. What did she hear?For real? Theres no turning back from this?
In the moment she was lost in thought, Kevin rk tore open her coat. The buttons of the coat burst open, flying out. Kevin rk, I other people want to see me, too! Charlotte Lane looked nk and pushed Kevin rks shoulder, trying to get him to stand up. Kevin rks eyes reddened even more, his desire for her seemed bottomless. He stared at Charlotte Lane: They can see you only if I allow it. Otherwise, you dont get to see anyone. Charlotte Lane stared motionless at Kevin rk. Kevin rk sped her hand on his shoulder, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed it: Charlotte, do you think Im just bluffing? You What else can I do? Kevin rks other hands thumb brushed her temple, You considered all the consequences of not being able to return when you left, didnt you? Charlotte Lanes lips moved but she didnt speak. Grandpa and parents have their guardian angels. Charles Amos has my second brother Davis, and protection from the rk family. Kevin rk spoke softly, but each word was filled with boundless pain, Everything was settled at the Hundred Demons Pavilion, Olivia Lanes gift was delivered, and my clothes were designed. Charlotte Lane, what am I supposed to do? Kevin rks eyes became more watery, Even when I keep you within my sight 24/7, you still manage to run away. What am I supposed to do? What can I do besides this method? I Charlotte Lane didnt know what to say, I wont leave. How can I trust you? Kevin rk squeezed her hand.
Charlotte Lane was speechless again. Her trust had already copsed when it came to him. Seeing that she remained quiet, after a while, Kevin rk kissed her again. Charlotte Lane offered no resistance, and Kevin rk advanced little by little, then punished her with a vengeance. They kept kissing and held each other tightly. It was as if they wanted to melt into each others bodies, intertwining their souls. Whether to keep her locked up or not was never discussed again. They had no time to discuss it either. Charlotte Lane had been asleep since the afternoon. Past 10 PM, Kevin rk woke her up to eat something. Then, Charlotte Lane took a bath. While waiting for Kevin rk to blow dry her hair, she fell asleep again. Kevin rk had worn her out during the day, so she was tired. He didnt think much of it. He carried her back to the bed and tucked her in the nket. He handled some affairs, theny down on the bed too, gently hugged her in his arms, kissed her, and stared at her. With her sleeping by his side, he felt like he could lose her at any moment.
He couldnt bear to lock her up. But without doing so he didnt know how to make her face the severity of the problem. He kept staring at her, about to reach out and touch her face. Charlotte Lane raised her hand, pping it on his face, her voice hoarse, Sleep, stop staring. Kevin rk chuckled, sped her hand, and kissed the fingertips, You could still tell I was staring at you when youre asleep. Your gaze is unsettling. Charlotte Lane nuzzled against his shoulder, Feels like youre going to press me down on the bed and continue doing it in the next second. Am I that much of a beast? Kevin rk pinched her ear. Think about what we did all day today, and youll discover youre even worse than a beast. Charlotte Lane spoke groggily, If the things in the room could be human, theyd definitely chase you down to scold you. Kevin rk smiled and kissed her again. Charlotte Lane rested her hand on his waist, her voice barely audible and drowsy, Brother Arthur, lets sleep. Alright. The next day, early morning, Kevin rk got up. Charlotte Lane turned over, her wrist resting on the edge of the bed as she continued to sleep. Kevin rk tried waking her up, but Charlotte Lane buried her head into the nket. Her hand at the edge of the bed balled up as she mumbled, My waist is sore. Dont want to get up. Eat something then sleep some more. Kevin rk sat on the edge of the bed, kissed her, and massaged her waist. Charlotte Lane was silent for a while and said, Lets eat upstairs. I dont want to move. Alright. Chapter 594: 537: Don’t Worry! Chapter 594: Chapter 537: Dont Worry! Kevin rk massaged Charlotte Lanes waist, and she fell asleep again. After she fell asleep, he massaged her for a little while longer, then went downstairs to get breakfast. He brought it back, ced it on the bedside table, and gently rubbed Charlottes face, Why are you so sleepy? Eat something first. Charlotte lifted her hand, clutched Kevins shoulder, and used it as leverage to sit up, I want to go to the Research Institute. Kevin looked at her without speaking. Seeing that he didnt agree, Charlotte released the grip on his shoulder, andid back down on the bed, closing her eyes. Slow down. Kevin rubbed the top of her head which had almost hit something. You didnt say that when you threw me on the bed yesterday. Charlotte said with her eyes closed. Holding a grudge? Kevinughed. I hold a huge grudge, Charlotte said, You better be prepared for some revenge. Kevinughed out loud, supported her neck, and held her up again, Lets talk about revengeter, eat first.
Charlotte pulled back her clothes a bit, drank a ss of water, then picked up a bowl, took a spoon, and ate a mouthful of porridge. She was fine with the first mouthful, but Kevin noticed that she suddenly slowed down when eating the second one. Dont you like it? Kevin asked. Charlotte didnt respond, put down the bowl, pushed Kevin away, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the restroom. Kevin hesitated for a moment and followed her. Charlotte calmly arrived at the restroom, lifted the toilet lid, and vomited. What happened? Kevins face suddenly turned bad. He went behind her, used the hair tie on his wrist to tie up her hair and gently patted her back. Charlotte had only taken one mouthful of the porridge and hadnt even swallowed the second one. There was nothing much to throw up. She just kept retching. Kevin went outside to get her a ss of water, and after she felt a little better, handed it over for her to rinse her mouth. Charlottes face also turned pale. She rinsed her mouth and said softly, Its just a reaction to not being allowed to go out and having a bad mood. Kevin frowned, his face worse than Charlottes, and he had no intention of joking, Do you still want to throw up? No. Kevin brought her back to the room and made her sit on the bed. He pulled a chair from the side and sat in front of her. Dizzy? He asked while holding her wrist, one hand supporting her while the other touched her pulse. Not dizzy, Charlotte answered. How about your stomach? Kevin asked, Any difort? No. I just felt suddenly nauseous, Charlotte saw that he was worried, so she didnt tease him any further.
Kevin felt her pulse, his expression serious. A few secondster, his fingertip trembled, and his expression became even more solemn. Whats with that face Charlotte said. Dont talk, Kevin reached for her other hand and touched her pulse again. He then suddenly stood up. Charlotte looked up at him, Whats wrong? Is it serious?
Kevin stared somewhere without reacting. Charlotte blinked and kicked him on the leg, Kevin rk. Kevin jolted into action, looking down at her when he reacted. Just say it, Charlotte said. Kevin still didnt respond, but turned around and went to the cloakroom. Soon, he came out with a set of clothes, Get dressed. What for? Charlotte looked at the clothes, Is it serious enough that I can go out now? Get dressed first, Kevins tone was somewhat stiff, and so was his expression. After he said that, he went back into the cloakroom, quickly dressed, and came back out. Both of them went downstairs. At the entrance, Kevin helped Charlotte put on her coat, wrapped her up in a scarf, and put on her mask. Is it really cold outside today? Its December, Kevin replied. Oh. Neither spoke during the car ride.
Although they didnt say it, Charlotte Lane knew they were going to the hospital. Kevin rks face looked terrible, and his expression was very serious. Charlotte Lane thought she had some incurable disease. When they arrived at the hospital and Kevin rk called the dean to contact the maternity department, Charlotte Lanes face changed to match Kevin rks. Only then did she realize that her period had been missing for quite some time. She wasnt always regr before, so she didnt care much. But after taking medicine every day, even if the dates were not urate, her period came every month. Butst month it didnte. As soon as Kevin rk finished the phone call, he noticed that Charlotte Lane was emotionally upset. He turned and hugged her, kissing the top of her head, and mechanicallyforted her, Dont be afraid. There is no problem from the pulse, but its safer to have a check-up. Charlotte Lane had a nk expression. The dean personally came to the entrance to take them to the maternity department. Two minutes after they stepped into the maternity department, photos of Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane being spotted there appeared online. Five minutester, it appeared on the hot search. Allonzo Hobson was the first to see it.
He called Robinson Scott first, and then called William Lane. Roy, congrattions. In ten months, therell be another little nephew or niece. After Allonzo Hobson said this, William Lane thought of Olivia Lane subconsciously. He knew about Charlotte Lanes physical condition, so he thought of the other sister. William Lane exploded on the spot in theboratory, How did you know? Where are they? They were photographed in the maternity department. Allonzo Hobson said. Who is Olivia with? William Lane walked out, thinking of how he didnt bring a knife today. Huh? Olivia? Allonzo Hobson was confused. How did it involve Olivia? Its Brook Sister and Harton. William Lane paused, Who? Ten minutester, the rk Family, Lane Family, Holt Lawrence from Celestial Pivot, Charles Flores from Court Music Academy, Joseph Allen from Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and Robinson Scott, James Collins, Luke, Gael Easton in Imperial Capital People from all directions drove to the hospital. Meanwhile, at the hospital Charlotte Lane had a blood test and a B-ultrasound.
The doctor said she was pregnant for about fifty-seven days, eight weeks. Hearing the doctors words, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk were silent for a moment, and then Charlotte Lane said, But I cant get pregnant. Charlotte Lane had her check-ups at this hospital. The system still had her medical records. After reading them, the doctor said, Theoretically speaking, there is indeed no possibility of pregnancy, and the chances of recovery in this situation are extremely small. When the doctor used the word extremely small, it was already considered tactful. But the fact is that she is pregnant, and there are no problems at all. the doctor stated, There are also two gestational sacs. During the B-ultrasound, the doctor mentioned that there were twin gestational sacs, both with fetal heart and fetal buds. Twins. Charlotte Lane didnt speak again. Kevin rk had been holding her hand, Will this situation have any impact on the mothers body? The doctor looked at the report in his hand, Her body is very healthy. The only problem is the difficulty in conception. But she has conceived, and based on the current examination, there are no problems with the adults or the children. So, there will be no impact on the grown-ups too. What aboutter? Kevin rk asked again. Anything has risks, the doctor said. So regr check-ups are necessary, and observations should be made all the time. If there are any problems in theter stages, will it cause great harm to the mother? Kevin rk asked. Charlotte Lane frowned. She thought that if the doctor answered yes, Kevin rk would schedule an abortion surgery for her to prevent any problems from arising. Ensure that there were no problems by not allowing problems to ur. The doctor looked like he was in his seventies, with some gray hair and wearing reading sses. Hearing Kevin rk keep asking, he looked up from above his sses at Kevin rk, paused for a moment, and said sternly, As a husband, dont be too anxious. Dont affect the pregnant womans mood. Chapter 595: 538: Congratulating Your Uncle Chapter 595: Chapter 538: Congratting Your Uncle The doctor didnt care who Kevin rk was, he started with his lecture, She is pregnant, her pregnancy hormones are unstable, it can easily affect her mood. As a husband, you need to control yourself. Dont upset her for no good reason! Youre behaving like an immature youth. Kevin rk did not speak. The Dean quietly tugged at the doctors whiteb coat. The doctor turned around and red at him: Why are you pulling on my clothes! The Dean.. Next! No sex during pregnancy! the doctor continued, Especially during the first three months, the fetus is not yet stable and theres a high chance of miscarriage. This kind of situation seriously harms her body! Charlotte Lane suddenly remembered what she had done during this time. ording to this timeline, it should have happened before her trip to M Continent to see Ste Edwards. After Dean Yue left, her mood had been bad. Furthermore, before her secret escape, Kevin rk had cornered her in the restroom once. Afterward, she went to Continent A, then she threw herself down from the second floor of her own room once.
That night in Continent A, she got into a fight, and she also hurt her waist. Yesterday Kevin rk threw her on the bed, and was quite brutal Charlotte Lane inadvertently touched her stomach. These two little ones are really strong, theyre fine after all of this. When Kevin rk finished listening, he frowned. He too was afraid of what had happened during this time, especially how excessive he was yesterday. When the doctor saw his frown, he thought he was not satisfied, his voice became more serious: What? You are still not willing? Look how youve hurt her neck! All men are alike, only care about their ownfort! The Dean secretly nced at Kevin rks expression, then reached up to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Charlotte Lane also nced at Kevin rk, and suddenly smiled. When the doctor saw her smile, he said to her again: Dont pamper him, let him have his way. Or else hell be too presumptuous, taking everything for granted. No matter the circumstances, you have to protect yourself, understand? Charlotte Lane nodded. Afterward, the doctor reiterated a lot of things, Kevin rk was very attentive on the side, asking in detail. The doctor saw that his attitude was good, the tone of his voice became a bit gentler. Let nature take its course, dont be too anxious. The two thanked him. The doctor and the Dean left, leaving the consultation room to the two of them. Outside, the Deans hair was wet with sweat: You scared me to death. Is it necessary? the doctor removed his reading sses. That man is the patriarch of the rk Family. The Dean whispered. Even the patriarch of the rk Family should treat his wife properly. the doctor replied, then he went back to his office.
The Dean was left at the door, wiping his sweat. In the consultation room, Charlotte Lane sat in the chair, looking at Kevin rk. Kevin rk sensed her gaze and turned to squat in front of her, looking up at her, Im sorry, I should have been more careful. Arent you happy? Charlotte Lane asked softly.
Are you happy? Kevin rk didnt answer, but instead asked. Charlotte Lane paused, then nodded a bit, Its a little sudden, but.. I am happy. Kevin rk touched her face: Im afraid it would be too hard for you. I was too careless. Think about it from a different perspective Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk, This is the connection between the two of us. Kevin rk smiled faintly, kissed her fingertip, and didnt speak. Charlotte Lane touched his face: Lets go back and see Charles Amos. Okay. The two walked out, Charlotte Lane touched her stomach. Although considering the big picture, the arrival of these two little ones is not timely. But on the other hand, the timing is just right. At least Kevin rk wont ignore her anymore. Charlotte Lane smiled slightly. Kevin rks thoughts were somewhat slow, it seemed like his mind was filled with only Charlotte Lane.
He had a bit of a lost feeling. Even his walking speed slowed down, being very cautious. Lets go back to rk Manor, Kevin rk suggested, There are more people to take care of us there. Okay, Charlotte Lane agreed. Both of them took the elevator downstairs, left the hospital, descended the steps, and crossed the hospital entrances corridor. Then Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane saw a crowd suddenly surround them. They saw who hade up to them, but the speed of the encirclement was a bit fierce. Kevin rks reaction was a tad quicker, and he instinctively shielded Charlotte Lane behind him. Seeing this group, Charlotte also instinctively took a step back. All the remaining rk Family members, except for Theo rk and Hugo rk, were present. Not a single Lane Family member was missing. Olivia Lane came by taxi from her school, even the Old Master Lane and Aunt Cruz were there. Then there were Charles Flores, James Collins, Robinson Scott, Joseph Allen, and others. The first person to speak was Sophie Ortiz: How is it? How did the checkup go? The rest of the people were eagerly waiting for the couple to answer.
Charlotte Lane slightly frowned. Kevin rk asked, How did you all find out? Can you stop beating around the bush and answer how the checkup went? Are you expecting? Natalie Wayne asked. She knew her sons medical skills. They certainly wouldnt havee to the hospital for a checkup if there was no situation. Kevin rk furrowed his brows, looking at the group of people, each of them with sparkling eyes. He wondered why these people were so excited about his wifes pregnancy. Seeing Kevin rk not responding, the crowd immediately lost hope in him. All eyes turned towards Charlotte Lane. Because Kevin rk was shielding Charlotte Lane, Elina rk used her cane to pull him aside. Kevin rk bowed his head to nce at the dirt stain on his coat. Eight weeks. Charlotte Lane heard her voice drift a little. The news of the hospital periphery being surrounded by luxury cars quickly became trending on social media.
Not only was there a video of the luxury cars surrounding the hospital, but there were also videos of Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane being surrounded by people. Some people took them from the hospitals upper floors. And they were released online without any obstruction. Additionally, there were also trending posts of each luxury car getting a penalty ticket. Each parking spot was fined to prevent the hospital from getting congested. [The long-lost globally limited car reappears, not only that, I also saw the mysterious buyer. A head of pink hair.] [The only one who got blurred is Old Master Lane, right?] [A random car part could be enough for me to buy a house.] [So many people I dont recognize. Especially those I dont recognize, their cars are even more luxurious. The rk and Lane families seem rtively low-key.] [I was a volunteer in the hospitals second-floor lobby, I could see everything very clearly from the second floor. With that show of force, I thought they were nning to tten the hospital.] [What kind of fairy friends does Kiara have?] [That foreign man, so handsome. My god, just one look at him is enough to get me pregnant.] [The one with the pink hair is also really handsome, okay!] [I was lucky enough to see the pink-haired man got down the car because I was riding my $250 electric bike. I was so charmed by him that I almost fell, and he even helped me with my bike. My god! You guys dont know how handsome he is in person. His peach blossom eyes are truly captivating!] [Ah ah ah ah ah, why didnt I go out for a stroll, my house is very close to the First Hospital.] [Are you saying Kiara is really pregnant?] [Absolutely, if shes not, it wouldnt be worth this big scene.] [Watching the video, I almostughed to death. Is Kiaras backward step real?] [In fact, its a big step backwards. Kevins action to protect his wife, it seems like the crowd in front are evil spirits. LOL.] [The celestial status of the baby of the rk and Lane families, I dare not think.] [This baby sure knows how to choose its reincarnation.] [Im so tired of saying the word envy.] [Enough said, Im going to go to Facebook to congratte Aunt Megan.] [Im going too.] Chapter 596: 539: Third Master’s Anxiety Chapter 596: Chapter 539: Third Masters Anxiety Kevin said he wanted to go back to rk Manor, but at the hospital entrance, they got into William Lanes car directly. Then, everyones cars followed William Lanes car back to the Lane Family. On the way, Kevin kept holding Charlottes hand absentmindedly, saying the most frequent phrase for William Lane to slow down. Finally, William Lane, unable to bear it any longer, said, Why dont you drive? Look outside; even the person pushing the stroller is faster than us. I cant drive. Kevin didnt look outside, just saying, You slow down. William Lane took a deep breath, How can you say it so confidently? Focus on driving and talk less. Thats my sister. William Lane said, Dont I know to be careful? If it werent for the fact that youre her brother, do you think wed get in your car? Kevin said. William Lane: Charlotte closed her eyes, listening to their bickering, not wanting to get involved at all.
The car finally stopped, and Charlotte opened the door and got out. After Kevin got out of the car, he looked at the entrance of the Lane Family, Why did wee here? What do you think? William Lane said, Youve been clueless the whole way. Even Charlotte, who was asleep, knew the route was to the Lane Family. Kevin looked at Charlotte. Charlotte patted Kevins shoulder, Third Master, youre a bit too anxious. Kevin opened his mouth, Im adjusting. Charlotte nodded her head without any emotion, Keep it up. Charlotte originally wanted to wait for everyone to arrive before going in, but Kevin took her to the living room first. Leaving William Lane waiting outside for everyone. By the time everyone arrived, Kevin had already warmed a ss of milk for Charlotte to drink. Charlotte, holding the ss, saw theme in and stood aside. Then she looked at one group after anothering in and said, Why did you all follow? I dont know. Robinson Scott blinked and looked at her neck, Everyone drove here without an appointment. After Charlotte came in and took off her coat and scarf, the bite marks on her neck showed up, and she looked at Luke again. Lukes gaze involuntarily nced at her neck, and then immediately moved away, Ive never been to the Big Bosss house, so I came to have a look. Im different; Im here to see my future niece. James Collins said. Youre quite early. Charlotte said. Come early to improve our rtionship. James Collins suddenly saw her neck bite marks, gaping and taking a step back. Luke saw Kevins murderous gaze and quickly pulled James Collins behind him, blocking him.
James Collins reacted and coughed softly. He always thought his sister was cold in this aspect. Didnt expect her to be so fierce. After all, hes about to have a new niece.
Since they were at the Lane Family, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz were attending to everyone. After settling the other group, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz came over to greet them. Joseph Allen, Holt Lawrence, and others were in Imperial Capital, and they met before and knew each other. But none of them had met these few people. Charlotte, these people Charlotte introduced, Robinson Scott. Hello, uncle and aunt. Robinson Scott suddenly became very well-behaved, and his voice sweetened. Charlotte looked at him, Can you be normal? Im always like this. Robinson Scott said. Charlotte squinted her eyes, Kevin felt a moment of murderous intent, but it disappeared quickly. Andrew Lane suddenly remembered, Oh, Adam Scotts daughter. Yes. Charlotte introduced Luke, He Charlotte looked at Luke, couldnt remember his real name, paused and said, Hes called Charles Butch.
Luke, who suddenly got a Chinese name, smiled and said, Hello, uncle and aunt. Hello, hello. Sophie Ortiz smiled and said. Then Charlotte looked at James Collins, just about to introduce, but James Collins beat her to it and said, Dad, Mom, my name is James Collins. Im my sisters younger brother. Charlotte: ?????? Kevin: .. Robinson Scott hesitated for a moment, standing behind Charlotte, holding backughter until her shoulders were shaking. William Lane and Olivia Lane, who were not far away, looked over. Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz hesitated for a moment, then looked at Charlotte. Charlotte pursed her lips, Just treat it as if youve adopted a son. Andrew Lane reacted first: Good, good. James Collinsdoes have a connection with Kiara. Yes, Sophie Ortiz said, They have a mother-child connection. James Collins smiled with his peach blossom eyes Everyone mainly focused on Charlotte Lane, asking about her health and caring for her. After knowing that she was fine, they didnt stay long.
Fearing that Charlotte would get tired by apanying them, they left. Only the Lane and rk families remained. Both families were discussing where Charlotte should stay. The Lane Family desperately wanted her under their close watch, but Harton rk insisted on letting her return to rk Manor. With Natalie Wayne around, she could keep a close eye on Charlottes condition. rk Manor had all sorts of medicinal herbs and nourishing things readily avable. Hearing their discussion, Charlotte suddenly said, Ill stay in the Research Institute Dormitory. Its convenient. Both families turned to look at her. Harton rk frowned. What nonsense, Sophie Ortiz said. William Lane said, Its best not to go into theboratory in the future. There are many reagents inside that are irritants and bad for you. Charlotte: Natalie Wayne said, Are you tired? If youre tired, you can go upstairs. You dont need to stay with us here, especially since there are no outsiders. Calvin Stewart chimed in from the side.
Im not tired, Charlotte said, Ill take Charles Amos out for a walk. Knowing that she had something to say to him, Natalie Wayne said, Go ahead. Both of you dress warmly. Mmhmm. Charlotte nced at Charles Amos who had been sitting by Finn rk the entire time. Charles Amos immediately stood up and walked quickly to her side. As she stood up, Harton rk also stood up. Charlotte turned her head to look at him and dropped three words, Dont follow. Harton rk paused and looked at Charles Amos. Charles Amos stared back at him, his eyes extremely determined. Between the men, they exchanged a look one that signified their shared responsibility to protect a woman. It was a look of a little man about to rise. But only Charles Amos gaze was firm, and Harton rks eyes were still somewhat flustered. That was distrust toward a little man. And his own anxiety that couldnt be settled. Charlotte and Charles Amos put on their coats at the entrance and walked from the front courtyard to the backyard. Charlotte held Charles Amos hand and asked after a while, Do you prefer a younger sister or younger brother? I thought it was twins? Charles Amos looked up at her, Grandma said theres a possibility of having a boy and a girl. Cant it be one younger brother and one younger sister? If its one little brother and one little sister, who would you like? Charlotte asked again. Cant I like both? You can. Charlotte finished, and then asked again, Are you unhappy? No. Charles Amos shook his head, I like my younger brother and sister. Im just a little scared. Dont be afraid, Charlotte said, I promise you, nothing will happen. Charles Amos tightened his grip on her hand, Okay. Have you thought of a name? Charlotte asked, holding Charles Amos hand as they walked for a while. I have, Charles Amos said, I want to use the character Huang with the wang radical and the xing radical. Christopher rk. Charlotte raised her eyebrows, Let your fathers hurry up and take care of it. They should take care of it and then go to school. Charles Amoss steps hesitated for a moment, I dont want to go. You must go. Charles Amos furrowed his little brows, Didnt we say that we were going to discuss it? The premise of that discussion is that you have to go to school first. If you really cant adapt, then well talk again, Charlotte said with downcast eyes. Seeing her determination, Charles Amos said, Then which grade should I be in? That depends on which grade will ept you, Charlotte said lightly. Charles Amos: Why does it seem so casual? Charlotte didnt say anything, just continued to hold his hand and walk. Are you tired? Do you want to go back? Charles Amos said, Mr. rk will be worried. Im not tired, Charlotte said, Lets circle around this way and then go back. Oh. Charles Amos continued walking quietly beside her for a while. Seeing his hesitant expression, Charlotte said, If you want to see Wilton Edwards, just ask Second Brother Davis to take you. You dont need to specifically tell me. Charles Amos, who was figured out, didnt hide it any longer, I want to go see him before the new year. Mmhmm. Chapter 597: 540: Doing More Harm than Good Chapter 597: Chapter 540: Doing More Harm than Good In the end, the rk family and the Lane family decided that Kevin rk would apany Charlotte Lane to stay at the Lanes house for a few days, after which Aunt Cruz would apany her to the rk Manor. Since it was the elders intention, Charlotte Lane didnt have any objections. However, both William Lane and Kevin rk were adamant about not allowing her into theboratory. The rk family didnt know about Charlottes physical condition, so they remained silent. After all, since the Lanes pampered their daughter, they wouldnt dare to interject. Everyone on the Lanes side was aware of Charlottes physical condition. She had initially had no chance of getting pregnant, but had suddenly be pregnant. Even though everything seemed fine now, they were still afraid she would encounter problems. So, the Lane family didnt say anything, but tacitly supported William Lane. Seeing that none of the others were speaking up, Charlotte turned her gaze towards Old Master Lane. Her grandfather would understand her. But upon receiving her plea for help, Old Master Lane silently shifted his gaze, lowering his head to pick at his fingernails. Charlotte Lane: .
All alone, she had to face the world. Now shouldnt everyone be considering my feelings? Charlotte looked at them and said. Everyone was silent. Charles Amos sat next to her and gave her a sympathetic look. What ifI be depressed? Charlotte continued. William Lane seemed to be loosening up a bit. But Kevin rks eyes quickly saw through her pretense. Charlotte leaned back on the sofa, pulling her hand out of Kevins grasp, and said, Fine. Kevin looked at his now-empty hand, wanted to grab her hand again, but Charlotte avoided it. Kevin rk: On their first night at the Lane familys house. In the study room, Charlotte Lane, Kevin rk, William Lane, and Olivia Lane were gathered together. Charlotte told William her idea about solving the problem of 319. After listening, William asked, You memorized so much data? I was worried that Edward Kirsten would blow up theboratory, Charlotte said, showing no emotion as she drank some weirdly sour soup that Aunt Cruz had brewed for her. First, try this method. Its just a guess. The experiment might not work. Kevin said, Theoretically, it should be possible. Olivia sat next to her, watching her drink, and curiously took a sip. It was so sour that her facial features twisted. The current guess is based on ideal conditions in all aspects, Charlotte said, stroking Olivias head. There may be deviations in practice. Ill start testing with my team tomorrow, William said.
Charlotte nodded. Olivia didnt understand and sat between William and Charlotte, resting her head on the table as she listened to them talk. Four people in the study room chatted until half past ten. In the end, William even brought out hisputer to start analyzing the data. Just as the clock struck half past ten, while Charlotte was talking, Kevin said, Its toote.
Charlotte looked up at the clock on the wall. Its just half past ten. William saved the data and closed theputer. It is toote. Lets get some rest early. Charlotte Lane: ? Kevin took her hand and returned to the room. When they got to the room, Charlotte stood at the door, staring at Kevin. Whats wrong? Kevin asked. Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then said, Nothing. After that, she entered the restroom to wash and take a bath. When she came out, Kevin blew her hair dry for her. After drying her hair, shey down on the bed and closed her eyes. Once she was in bed, Kevin rk began to clean up, finishing up and then lying down next to Charlotte Lane, gently holding her in his arms. During the night, Charlotte sensed Kevin gently moving in his sleep, and then grabbing her wrist, his fingers lightly resting on her pulse. And it wasnt just once that he checked her pulse throughout the night. In the many nights that followed, Kevin rk always did this.
If Charlotte Lane turned over, he would wake up. If she went to the restroom in the middle of the night, he would wake up. Even if she slept soundly, he would still wake. Once awake, he would check Charlotte Lanes pulse to make sure she was okay. After staying at the Lane Family home for a few days, Charlotte Lane finally moved into the rk Manor. And the first thing Charlotte Lane did when she arrived at rk Manor was to turn Natalie Wayne to her side. As a mother, Natalie Wayne gave birth to Kevin rk when she was an older maternal patient, and she is also a highly skilled doctor. She knows best whether or not Charlotte Lane can work. On the first day of being turned, Natalie Wayne earnestly tried to guide the anxious Kevin rk. On the next day, when Natalie Wayne saw that her guidance had no effect, she began to scold him. Then, early morning on the third day, after breakfast, Natalie Wayne had someone surround Kevin rk. She was going to personally take Charlotte Lane to the research institute. Mom, what are you doing? Kevin rk looked at the people surrounding him in threeyers. You dare to try fighting them, Natalie Wayne said calmly. Charlotte Lane stood beside Natalie Wayne and cast a sympathetic look at Kevin rk.
Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane without speaking, but his eyes were pitiful, fierce, and anxious. Kevin rk, what youre doing is considered confinement and a restriction of personal freedom. Be careful, I may file aint against you and send you in, Natalie Wayne warned. Elina rk stepped back, and while she felt sorry for her son, she dared not speak up. She tried to minimize her presence so as not to be affected. However, just as she had feared, she was still involved. You and your father have the same character! That broken gene of your fathers has skipped a generation and passed on to you! Natalie Wayne yelled. Elina rk: Finn rk identallyughed out loud while watching the scene. Elina rk immediately hit him in the leg with a cane. Finn rk limped away from her while gasping in pain. Charles Amos watched coldly from the side. Kevin rk had a dark expression. Actually, he had nned to take Charlotte Lane to theboratory today. I dont think you are doing this for Charlottes sake, Natalie Wayne said, getting angrier. Youve passed on your anxiety to her, restricting her freedom and leaving her with nothing to do all day. Can she be in a good mood? Can her emotions be stable? You are the most dangerous factor! Think about it at home, dont follow us. Were leaving. Kevin rk watched Charlotte Lane turn away and leave, and instinctively wanted to follow. But Calvin Stewart thought he was going to fight and immediately squeezed into the crowd, grabbing him.
Although Calvin Stewart was his sister-inw, in Kevin rks eyes, she was half a mother. She had taken care of him half of the time when he was a child. So naturally, Kevin rk respected and listened to her. Kevin rk watched as Charlotte Lane disappeared from his sight. Calvin Stewart let the people surrounding them back off and held Kevin rks wrist, fearing that he would run away. She patiently advised, Kevin, rx. Look at our family, with so many people. None of us have ever had any problems during childbirth. After she said this, Kevin rk couldnt help but nce at Finn rk, who was rubbing his leg, and Charles Amos, who was watching him rub his leg. Calvin Stewart hesitated for a moment and quietly swallowed. Finn rk paused for a moment and said, Harris Kirsten had health issues. She had trouble getting pregnant in the first ce, and although she was closely monitored throughout her pregnancy and nothing happened, but Not finishing his sentence, Kevin rk removed Calvin Stewarts hand from his wrist and turned to run outside. Finn rk and Calvin Stewart looked at each other. Did I say something wrong? With an expression of having made matters worse, Calvin Stewart said, Did I end up not helping? Chapter 598: 541: Strike, Revenge, Settling Scores Chapter 598: Chapter 541: Strike, Revenge, Settling Scores During these days at the Lane residence, Charlotte Lane had been experimenting ording to her ideas, but things hadnt been going smoothly. She constantly adjusted the experimental methods based on William Lanes daily feedback. But since she wasnt on the scene and didnt see the experiments reactions directly, her adjustments were always slightly off. Now that she was at theboratory, she finally saw the experiment herself. When William saw her, he wasnt surprised. He simply said, Youve already handled Arthur so soon? While at the Lane residence, Charlotte had secretly persuaded William to join her side. Charlotte raised her eyebrows: Taming him was no small feat. William smiled. Brother, Aunt Wayne is in the meeting room below. Can you take care of her? Charlotte said. William was taken aback: So thats how you came here. Anyway, Im here now. Williamughed: Alright, Ill go down and take a look. You make sure to rest, or Ill betray you very soon.
Mhm. After he left, Charlotte focused on her experiments. In the meeting room downstairs, Arthur North had a long talk with Natalie Wayne and then with William Lane. By lunchtime, Arthur came to theboratory to call people for lunch while Natalie had gone home. After that, Arthur no longer stopped Charlotte froming to theb. He simply moved hisboratory to the same floor as her. He ran his experiment, and as soon as he looked up, he could see Charlotte. He also closely monitored her time for finishing work and eating. He would take her away as soon as the time came. After Charlotte protested twice, her finishing work time changed from six oclock to eight oclock in the evening. Aunt Cruz sent their lunch and dinner. Charlotte had a good appetite most of the time, asionally feeling nauseous, but she always enjoyed whatever she ate. In particr, Aunt Cruz remembered what Charlotte didnt eat when she was younger, making her favorite and nutritious meals. Since Arthur had lost weight and hadnt regained it, she would also make an extra portion for him every time. As for William, Charlotte and Arthurs meals were more casualthere was always enough food for him as long as they made extra. At 7:50 that night, Arthur entered Charlottesboratory right on time. However, under Arthurs watchful gaze, Charlotte didnt leave theboratory until 8:10. I have no authority at all now, Arthur wrapped a scarf around her, holding her hand and leaving. You still do, Charlotte said, Look, I didnt drag it to 8:20. Thank you, madam, for giving me this face, Arthur said helplessly. Charlotte smiled, Do you think I have a chance to go back to Cold Green Vige before the New Year?
Arthurs eyshes trembled for a moment. I think Im fine, Charlotte turned to look at Arthur. Arthur was silent for a while: Next year, then. Ill go on your behalf this year, alright? Charlotte was also silent for a moment, then nodded: Okay.
Arthur saw that she agreed and breathed a sigh of relief: The movie has a release date, the first day of the Lunar New Year. Hmm? Charlotte took out her cell phone and saw that Morris indeed sent her a message, but she hadnt checked her phone all day and hadnt seen it. Daisy Zanes publicity on Facebook was shared by Hill Dawson. The name has been changed, Arthur said. Yes, Charlotte replied, The old name didnt pass the review. So it was changed to Hope. Speaking of name change, Charlotte thought of Charles Amos: Has Charles name been changed? Its still in progress, the procedure is a bitplicated, Arthur said, Theres no hurry. Anyway, he wont go to school until after the New Year. Thats true, Charlotte said, Make sure to find a strict school, so he can experience my intentions. Arthur smiled. Returning to rk Manor. Arthur and Charlotte dealt with some of the Research Institutes files again. This approval, that approval, where funding is needed, which project needs approval, which elixir needs to get through, and a series of other matters. All these tasks were Charlottes responsibility.
But Arthur helped her with a lot of the burden. Most of the time, she only needed to sign and stamp her approval. Sometimes, Arthur would give her a brief exnation of what was going on. At 11 oclock, theyid down to bed on time. Charlotte soon fell asleep amidst her experiments and data. Arthur also slept for a while but woke up in the middle of the night. After waking up, he gently and slowly felt Charlottes pulse. After feeling her pulse and finding nothing wrong, he was about to withdraw his hand when Charlotte suddenly grabbed his hand. Arthur was taken aback and looked at Charlotte. Charlotte opened her eyes, her gaze softened with sleepiness as she looked at him. After looking at each other for a while, Charlotte turned over and nced at the time on the head of the bed. Past two oclock Third Uncle, if you keep this up, youll have kidney deficiency. Arthur couldnt believe what he had heard, and was speechless for a moment.
He initially thought his disguise of being normal for so many days had been exposed, but he didnt expect this little girl to say such a thing. Seriously, Charlotte said, This is the same principle as staying upte. If it goes on for too long, itll affect you. Arthurs eyes grew more fierce bit by bit: Little girl, do you feel like I cant do anything, so youre taking advantage of me? Yes, Charlotte admitted readily, Third Uncle. If you keep this up, you wont be up to it when the timees. Hiss Seeing her getting more worked up, Arthur pinched her chin and blocked her mouth. All of Charlottes words were stifled in an instant. Since learning about her pregnancy, Arthur restrained himself. Each kiss was gentle, fearing that it might spark something and make him ufortable in the end. So today, he just wanted Charlotte to behave. After kissing her for a while, he tried to pull away. But as he moved back, Charlotte raised her arm to hook his neck and followed him. Arthur stopped moving, stroking her head and kissing her soothingly for a while, But soon, he found a guilty little hand touching him. Arthur tried to pull away twice but failed. In the end, he propped up Charlottes chin with his finger, forcing her to raise her head. His breath was unstable, and he hoarsely asked, What are you doing?
Retaliation, Charlottes eyes had a shallowyer of mist, with her beautiful phoenix eyes tempting him. Her voice was cold and hoarse, As for why Im taking revenge, Third Master, think carefully about what you owe between us. Chapter 599: 542: Caring Too Much… Chapter 599: Chapter 542: Caring Too Much They had so many ounts to settle between them. Kevin rk held Charlotte Lanes chin for a good while, and finally lifted the quilt to prepare to go to the restroom: You go to sleep first. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and smiled, then grabbed Kevins hand as he was getting up. She pulled him back onto the bed in one go. Kevin rk looked at this mischievous person. In the darkness, he could see the red corners of her eyes, like a fairy that could eat people at any time. But the fairy had been eating vegetarian recently. Charlotte Lanes eyes were full of smiles as she looked at him: Let me have an ice cream tomorrow, and Ill let you go. Kevin rk suddenly narrowed his eyes, the fairy suddenly wanted a half-open feast. He returned to the bed, holding her head with his hands and kissed her. This kiss was heavy with passion.
Charlotte Lanes hand clutched the bathrobe on his shoulder. But soon, Kevin rk grabbed her hand and took it off his shoulder. After pinching it twice in his hand, he guided her hand downward. Madam, you should check me regrly to see if Im really empty, Kevin rk whispered in her ear. Charlotte Lane: . When Charlotte Lane was carried to the restroom to wash her hands, her wrists were sore and numb. Her back was also covered in a thinyer of sweat. Kevin rk took off his slippers and let her put them on, stepping barefoot on the floor. He helped her wash her hands while kissing her ear: Are you behaving now? Charlotte Lane didnt answer him and instead sshed water on his face with a quick motion. Still got a temper? Kevin rk dried her hands and asked, Are you sleepy? Not bad. Take a bath? Kevin rk started to be restless as he spoke. Feeling his fingers, Charlotte Lane was slightly stunned and instinctively leaned into his embrace. Her back stiffened for a moment: Kevin rk. Kevin rk saw her ears quickly turn red through the mirror, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes: Wet. Youre sweating on your back too. Take a shower. Charlotte Lane stiffened for a while, then her fingertips curled up. She grabbed Kevin rks hand, first pushed and then kicked him out of the restroom. Kevin rk stumbled, stabilized himself, and said, Take it slow.
Charlotte Lane ignored him and mmed the door shut. Kevin rk looked at the door that trembled for a moment, took her clothes, and ced them at the restroom entrance. Then he went to another restroom to take a shower. Three months into her pregnancy, Charlotte Lanes checkup showed no problems.
Charlotte Lane also didnt show any obvious reactions. Even the asional nauseous feeling had disappeared. Aunt Cruz arranged her diet. Natalie Wayne also closely monitored her condition, making up for any deficiencies in her diet immediately. Everything was normal, and Kevin rk seemed normal too. But only Charlotte Lane knew that Kevin rks anxiety had never dissipated. He would wake up every night. And Kevin rk had also lost two pounds. At another pregnancy checkup, Charlotte Lane asked the doctor about this situation. Why was she the one who was pregnant, but the one having problems was Kevin rk. The doctor said that if the husband was too concerned about his wife, the husbands body could easily show a series of problems and reactions that the pregnant wife might have during her pregnancy. Everyones reaction was different. Some people had insomnia, and some husbands would vomit throughout their wifes pregnancy even though their wives didnt vomit at all. As long as their body was fine, it was okay. But if it got too severe, they needed to see a doctor or a psychologist.
However, no psychologist could be as skilled as Kevin rk. Charlotte Lane even thought that if it werent for Kevins expertise in psychology, his reaction would have been much bigger than what she had seen so far. In mid-December, Finn rk took Charles Amos to M Continent to see Alozon Kirsten. Kevin rk went to Cold Green Vige. And for the two days he was away, he asked William Lane, James Collins, and Robinson Scott to pick up and drop off Charlotte Lane. Charlotte knew that Kevin was worried about her and didnt say anything about this matter. At Cold Green Vige, Kevin went up the mountain to see Victoria Zane and Daisy Zane, and brought with him two bottles of wine, as usual. He roughly mentioned Charlottes situation, the movie premiering on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and some things about Drunken Life Grass. After that, he cleaned up the courtyard of their living quarters and pulled out the weeds. The White Orchid Tree that he left behind that year was still growing well. He took a photo and nned to show it to Charlotte when he returned. On December 23, Charlotte received a call from Morris in theboratory. The film premiere on December 25 Before Morris could finish speaking, Charlotte interrupted, I cant go.
Why? Morris was puzzled. Youre the lead actress. You cant just not show up at the premiere. What about George Dunn? You are the Female Lead, Morris said. Im pregnant, Charlotte reminded him. There was a pause: Didnt the prenatal check-ups show that everything was fine? Yes, they are. Charlotte said, But I cant work. Huh? Morris was silent for a moment: What are you doing now? In the Research Institute. Morris gritted his teeth and said, Isnt working at the Research Institute still work? Amused by how frustrated Morris was, Charlotteughed and then exined, The Research Institute is quite busytely, and theres a lot to do at the end of the year. You and George will have to take care of the premiere. Morris was silent again before he spoke, Its kind of weird when you suddenly talk sense. I feel a bit guilty for raising my voice just now. That was the point, Charlotte said without mercy. Morris: I dont need to talk to you anymore!
Hang up, Im busy. Charlotte didnt show up at the premiere, and the next day she was criticized on hot search. They said she was unprofessional, that she didnt promote her show, that she had be arrogant, and now she looked down on her acting career. They said once she became the Eldest Miss Lane, she forgot her old friends, and even Morris and George Dunn couldnt get her to budge. They imed she used Morris and George for fame, and once she got it, she discarded them and pretended not to know them anymore. Someone who imed to be a close source even said that Morris and George went to the Lane Family to visit Charlotte, but they were driven out of the house before they could even enter. The gifts they brought were thrown out as well. After the gifts were scattered on the ground, the two had to clean up the mess themselves. When Morris and George saw this post, they couldnt help butugh. Just ckening Charlotte was one thing, but why did they have to make the two of them look so pathetic? Reading the text alone made people feel heartbroken. There were also some people who focused on the fact that Charlotte was not Daisy Zane. They asked why Charlotte wouldnte out and respond. Holt Lawrence deliberately didnt control the online messages, instead collecting and recording every ID that had ndered her. Then, he would pay them back one by one. At this time, Charlotte was busy in theboratory. Progress had been made in the experiment, and it was at a critical moment. If sessful maybe before the New Year, they could research an elixir that couldpletely eliminate the effects of 319. So Charlotte had been watching the experiment, and the entireboratory was in a tense state Chapter 600: 543: A Good Year to Celebrate Chapter 600: Chapter 543: A Good Year to Celebrate It was Charlotte Lanes first Chinese New Year returning to the Lane family since getting married. Even though she was married, she still nned to celebrate the New Year with her family. For the first time in his life, Kevin rk was in the Imperial Capital but did not celebrate the New Year with the rk family. On December 29th, Charlotte Lane stayed up all night in theboratory. Kevin rk stayed by her side, assisting her and keeping an eye on her all the time. At this crucial time, Kevin didnt forcibly take Charlotte back home. Even if he took her back, Charlotte wouldnt rest and the situation he faced would have been even more serious. With Charlottes determined personality, if she were provoked, many consequences would be unbearable for Kevin. Moreover, just one nce at her would earn a silent rebuke before he even uttered a word. Kevin rk quietly conducted experiments and helped out. In the early morning around four, Charlotte Lane took a short rest on the recliner. William Lane and Kevin rk kept watch over the experiment with their team.
Charlotte woke up at six oclock and continued working after that. Breakfast was eaten in the corridor outside theboratory. Afterward, they returned to theboratory. At ten oclock in the morning, Old Master Lane, apanied by five or six people, entered the Research Institutes Experimental Tower. Harry Anderson, who had just taken office as mayor in the Imperial Capital this year, visited the Lane family on New Years Eve morning to pay his respects to the retired old leader. Harry Anderson chatted with the old leader at the Lane family for an hour, during which the old leader talked about the children who were still working hard at the Research Institute during the New Years holiday. Harry Anderson got the old leaders message and suggested they visit the Research Institute. Old Master Lane went to the Research Institute with Harry Anderson immediately. At 10:06, Old Master Lane and Harry Anderson arrived at Charlotte Lanesboratory. Just as they reached the entrance without knocking, a sudden burst of apuse and cheers came from inside. The group outside was taken aback, and both Old Master Lane and Harry Anderson exchanged nces and stood still outside the door. The cheers from theboratory continued. Inside, twenty or so people pped, cheered,ughed, wiped their tears, and hugged each other nearby. Some also took the opportunity to rx and copsed in their chairs without moving. All their excitement turned into various forms of emotional catharsis, signifying their victory. This excitement was not only due to the sess of their research over thest few years but also because those who had been persecuted by the 319 experiment could finally receive help and live like normal people from now on. Charlotte Lane stood by the experimental table and took a step back. She was wearing protective clothing, a mask, and her hair was tied up. Her hair was a bit messy due to staying up all night. She listened to the celebrations around her and stared nkly at the experimental table. Kevin rk stood next to her, touching her ear. Charlotte Lane came to her senses, turned her head to look at Kevin rk, and her eyes reddened in that instant. Weve seeded, Kevin said gently.
Charlotte looked into his eyes, and her emotions were slowly smoothed by the tenderness. After a while, her reddened eyes showed a smile, her voice still cold, but it was evident that she was excited, As Brother Arthur said, we will have a good New Year this year. Kevin rk grinned, Great job, Dean Lane. Having said that, he kissed Charlotte through the mask and whispered, Great job, Madam. Great job, Professor rk, Charlotte imitated him and said, And great job to the Deans spouse.
I also deserve some credit as a spouse, right? William Lane suddenly said from the side. Howe youre always around? Kevin rkined. Sigh William Lane let out a long sigh, Now that my sister has grown up, she has be distant from her brother. And the malicious brother-inw is driving a wedge between us every day. Kevin rk frowned, murderous intent brewing in the depths of his eyes for being able to have one fewer brother in the future. Charlotte Lane smiled and said, Youre family too. William Lane was satisfied with that. All of those involved in the 319 Experiment were given their New Years holidays. The locals went home directly. For those from other ces, Kevin rk arranged ne tickets for them, ensuring that they got home before the New Years Eve dinner. After the arrangements were made, everyone was ready to go. Someone knocked the door of theboratory from the outside and opened it. Everyone saw Old Master Lane and Harry Anderson at the entrance, along with some unfamiliar faces. Grandfather, why are you here? William Lane asked, walking toward him. Kevin rk held Charlotte Lanes hand as they walked toward the entrance together. Mayor John wanted toe and see everyone, and I tagged along, said Old Master Lane while giving Charlotte Lane a look.
The haughty look in his eyes seemed to say: Hurry up and praise me! Ive brought someone here to see you and support your work. Charlotte Lane just smiled at him. William Lane managed to hold back hisughter, then shook hands with Harry Anderson. Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane. And Harry Anderson his eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at Charlotte Lane. It seemed as if his ultimate goal for visiting the Lane Family today had been achieved. Dean Lane. Harry Anderson smiled and greeted. Charlotte Lane removed her mask and put it in her protective clothing pocket, Mayor John, its been a while since west met. Old Master Lane was taken aback. Both Kevin rk and William Lane looked at Charlotte Lane. Indeed, its been more than two years since west met in Truro City, said Harry Anderson. You know each other? Old Master Lane asked. Harry Anderson nodded: Yes.
As for how they knew each other, neither Charlotte Lane nor Harry Anderson offered any exnations. But it was clear to see that Harry Anderson had ayer of affection for Charlotte Lane, as if treating her like his own daughter. The warmth and pride in his eyes couldnt be concealed. In order not to dy everyones return home for the new year, Harry Anderson didnt stay long and went to the office with Charlotte Lane and the others. After a brief inquiry into the institutes situation and learning that Charlotte Lane hadnt rested much the night before, everyone hurried back home. On the way back, William Lane asked, Wasnt Harry Anderson supposed to transfer here the year beforest? Why was it dyed for a year? His sons actions affected him, dying it for a year, Kevin rk added a cushion behind Charlotte Lanes waist, Amelia Miles wanted to end their marriage, but John Anderson didnt agree initially, so Amelia Miles reported Maple Elite Entertainment. Maple Elite Entertainment was investigated, and Harry Anderson was implicated. Charlotte Lane listened to his exnation, closed her eyes, and said nothing. Old Master Lane could deeply rte to such matters. Now that hes here, there wont be any more issues for Maple Elite Entertainment, said William Lane. With Harry Andersons personality, John Anderson wouldnt dare to let anything happen to Maple Elite Entertainment, Kevin rk said, Its just that someone intentionally set them up. At that time, Amelia Miles was the person closest to John Anderson, so it was easy for her to sabotage thepany. However What? William Lane asked. However, someone secretly helped Maple Elite Entertainment and resolved the crisis for them, Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane, I was also paying attention to this matter at the time. But its strange how no one could find out anything about the person behind it. Isnt it strange? William Lane and Old Master Lane both followed Kevin rks gaze to look at Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte Lane maintained a calm expression, kept her eyes closed, and after a while, turned her head towards the window, leaving them with the back of her head. Kevin rkughed, reached out, and touched the top of her hair. Chapter 601: 544: Bullying a Child Chapter 601: Chapter 544: Bullying a Child Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane celebrated Chinese New Year at Lane Familys home, and Charles Amos, who abandoned Finn rk, also came to the Lane Familys home. On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, the younger generation received red envelopes. The elders all received gifts. As usual, Charlotte also received a gift from Charles Amos. This year it was a valuable brooch, and its unknown who he had bought it from. It seems that Charles Amos funds will be tight for the next few months. So, in this situation Charlotte added insult to injury by taking all of his New Years money, as long as its cash. She imed that she would help him save it and give it back to him when he grows up. Charles Amos stared with a pair of innocent big eyes, clearly saying: Do you think I believe you? This year, Kevin rk gave her a diamond bracelet with a total of twelve diamonds about one centimeter in diameter iid in series. Its almost the same as the diamond ring on her left hand, both are transparent ice blue. Kevin rk seemed to like her wearing ice-blue items.
Old Master Lane also gave Charlotte a longevity lock. He said, I hope it will bless Charlotte with peace and smooth sailing in the future. When William Lane was injured, Charlotte returned to the Lane Family. Only that day, she saw the longevity lock she had been wearing since childhood held in the old masters hand. After that, she never saw it again. Until Old Master Lane gave it to her again today. In the evening, back in the room, Kevin rk intertwined the chain of the longevity lock and the red rope around Charlottes neck, with the lock and the heart-shaped stone hanging together. Charlotte heard Kevin rk say that when she fell into the sea, Lane n sent many people to search for her. After a long time, they only found this longevity lock. A month after she disappeared, the old master had a severe illness. After that, he always held her longevity lock, looking forward to her return day by day. Howe you look so different from when you were a child? Kevin rk said while ncing at the photo on the bedside table. If I looked the same as I did when I was a child, would Third Uncle be attracted to me when we first met in Truro City? Charlotte supported her temples, leaning to watch him weave the ne rope for her. You were very beautiful even when you were a child, Kevin rk said, Also, theres no Third Uncle here. So that means there would be, Charlottes eyes sparkled with a smile, Uncle and niece Kevin rk suddenly looked up at her. The fierceness in his eyes made Charlotte pause. Kevin rk said, All I know is that little girl named Charlotte always called me Brother Arthur. Dont know who your uncle is, stop recognizing rtives here. Charlotteughed, her stunning beauty even when smiling brought a somewhat chilly feeling. Kevin rk listened to herughter and had no solution for her.
Theres no way to scare her. Come here, Kevin rk said. Charlotte didnt move. Come here so I can give you a kiss.
Charlotte walked to him, just about to lean in. Kevin rk gently held her waist, let her sit on hisp, and pecked at the corner of her lips. Be good, its the New Year, dont tease your Brother Arthur anymore, Kevin rk hugged her while weaving the rope. Charlotte shifted her position, stepped on his foot, and said, Alright, Third Uncle. Kevin rk: On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Kevin rk took Charlotte Lane and Charles Amos back to the rk family. Then Charlotte took Charles Amos red envelopes as her own again. Charles Amos pinched the corner of thest red envelope, wanting to struggle, but Finn rk helped pry his little fingers open, and the red envelope slipped away. Youre all in on this, Charles Amos looked at them. Yeah. You just realized? Finn rk said. Charles Amos leaned on his arm and sat on the sofa. Natalie Wayneughed and said, You guys are so old, yet youre bullying a child. Charles hugged Natalies arm, feeling confident, and nced at the adults in the circle before whispering to her, Granny, its okay. I got red envelopes on my cell phone, and lots of money. Im just pretending.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Charlotte Lane looking at him and immediately shut his mouth. He was afraid that the money in his cell phone would silently disappear. There were more people in the rk family, making it livelier than the Lane family. As everyone chatted in the front hall, a woman entered after a while. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, dressed neatly but with slightly disheveled hair, as if she had just gotten up. Charlotte had never seen her before, but the reactions of the others indicated they knew her. Grandfather Ye, Granny Wayne. Im sorry for waking upte, the woman said politely. Natalie Wayne smiled, Its fine. Theres no big deal, anyway. Elina rk said, Theres breakfast in the restaurant. Go and eat. The woman agreed and turned her head to see Charlotte sitting next to Arthur North. Her gaze paused on Charlotte, and she looked at her curiously. When Natalie saw her looking at Charlotte, she suddenly remembered they hadnt met before and introduced her, Charlotte, this is my Teachers great-granddaughter, Morgan Mia. Natalies background wasnt good, and she had a tough childhood. Her Teacher, who taught her traditional medicine and acupuncture, treated her very well, like his own daughter. Her Teacher didnt have any children of his own, only one apprentice, Natalie, and an adopted son.
This Morgan Mia was his adopted sons granddaughter. She was 27 years old and hade to Imperial Capital to develop her career. She took the opportunity to pay a New Years visit to the rk family and stayed here for a while. Morgan looked clean and pure, with an obedient appearance. She smiled, and her eyes turned into crescents, I know. Ive seen her online. Shes my little aunt. Hello, Charlotte greeted politely. Hello, Morgan looked at Arthur North and continued, I havent wished my little uncle a happy new year. Uncle, Happy New Year. Arthur responded. After chatting with them for a while, Morgan went to the restaurant to eat. When Morgan entered the restaurant, Natalie asked Arthur, Can you arrange for her to work at Ryan Easton after the New Year? Her major matches the one at yourpany. Arthur toyed with the ring on Charlottes hand, Ryan Easton doesnt hire people casually. I do have some vacancies in D Continent, I can arrange something for her there. Wouldnt D Continent be too chaotic? Natalie Wayne asked, Shes a young girl. Arthur didnt speak, focusing on the ring instead. After graduating from university, Morgan hadnt worked and her family didnt know what she was doing. For most of the time, she wasnt home.
Still, every year, she would visit rk Manor to pay her respects during the New Year. This year, she finally told her family that she wanted toe to Imperial Capital to develop her career, find a job, and settle down. Due to her Teachers rtionship, Natalie had always been supportive of the Mia family. This time when Morgan came to Imperial Capital, Natalie asked her what she wanted to do, but she said she hadnt thought about it yet. So Natalie had to help her find suitable work. Seeing that Arthur had backed off, Natalie looked at Theo rk, knowing it was useless to count on him, and then nced at Finn rk. Finn said, How about working part-time at my coffee shop? Natalie ignored him and looked at Hugo rk. Hugo hesitated for a moment and said, Ill find a position for her in the familypany. Hugo is reliable, Natalie said with satisfaction, This year, I will definitely find a wife for you. Hugo didnt say anything. His im of having someone he liked wasnt valid anymore. No one believed him, thinking it was just an excuse. Dragging Arthur into it would make everyone believe it was a joint excuse between the uncle and nephew. Chapter 602: 545 Updated Chapter 602: Chapter 545 Updated After the sess of the Elimination 319 potion research and animal experiments, its time to proceed with clinical trials. After the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Charlotte Lane spends her mornings at home and afternoons at the Research Institute. On the sixth day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Anisa Cooper brings John Collins and Emily Hill to visit Charlotte at rk Manor. Anisa and John have brought New Years gifts, while Emily, who drove her car, brought a load of mother and baby supplies. When they arrived at the entrance to rk Manor, five people from the rk family helped to bring the stuff inside. Charlotte came from the North Court, and upon entering the living room, she looked at the pile and asked Emily, Isnt it a bit early to prepare all these things? Emily greeted Harton rk first, then replied, Not early. Time flies; youll see. Charlotte thought to herself that she couldnt wait for time to pass quickly. So that everyone would stop revolving around her. And Harton could be more settled. Ive used all these things myself, and theyre very good, Emily said.
Thank you, Sister Emily, Charlotte replied. Today, Elina rk and Tom Wayne were not at home, as they went to the Theatre Garden. Finn rk was the only one in the front courtyard. It took them a while toe from the North Court. Finn had already chatted with Anisa, John, and the others for a while. Lucia, Third Master, Happy New Year, Anisa said. Happy New Year, Charlotte replied, touching Anisas face. John, still wearing a mask and no hat, with the scars on his face partially hidden by his hair, greeted, Third Master, Dean Lane, Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Harton replied. The group sat down, with the men talking together, and the women chatting amongst themselves. After sitting down, Anisa shifted closer to Charlotte and nced at her stomach, asking, Lucia, did the check-up say youre having twins? Charlotte looked at her. She had only told her family about the twins, but no one else. Without denying it, Anisa excitedly said, So it is! Then we bought too few supplies. Emily was also surprised, Really? Then we should have gotten more. See, I told you. That temple is very efficacious, Anisa said, I prayed there devoutly, hoping that Lucia could have a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. It will definitely be dragon and phoenix twins. Charlotte smiled and said, Thank you for the good wishes. Emilyughed and said, Enough, its all thanks to Third Masters prowess, doesnt concern you. Anisa pursed her lips and whispered with a smile, I think Lucia is more amazing. Charlotte nodded, Good taste. Harton, chatting with John, overheard their conversation and smiled.
John said, Anisa is too outgoing; sometimes her brain cant keep up with her mouth. Charlotte really likes her, Harton replied. John didnt say anything more, and they talked about Ryan Eastons matters. On Charlottes side, the women were still discussing the temples miraculousness.
Charlotte asked, What did you ask for yourself? Dragon and phoenix twins, too? No, Anisa said, Brother Miller and I want to establish ourselves in the Imperial Capital in the future. But the cost of living there is too high. So, we decided that having one child would be easier to raise. Besides, both of us are busy, and we wont be able to look after two children. Charlotte nodded, When are you getting married? Once my contract expires, Anisa said, As soon as it expires, Ill immediately get the certificate. Then Ill renew the contract after getting the certificate. Youre silly, Emily said, Why dont you just get the certificate without telling me? Teaching others to deceive themselves, thats a first, Charlotte said. After sitting in the front hall for a while, they took a tour of rk Manor. The size of rk Manor is vast and difficult to imagine. The winding paths make it hard to differentiate the directions. Anisa curiously looked around as they walked, Lucia, was this built to resemble the royal pce? The area is slightly smaller than the royal pce, Charlotte replied nonchntly. But its muchrger than a princes mansion. My goodness, the legendary 25-acre Lotus Flower Pond! Anisa eximed as she stood at one end, unable to see the other side. Although it was winter, and only evergreen trees were green, the scenery was still beautiful.
The grand and intricate architecture overshadowed the bleakndscape. 25 acres. Charlotte corrected, Come back here in the summer, and its very beautiful. Then Lucia, you must invite me, Anisa said. Yeah. Walking along the corridor by the Lotus Flower Pond, Hill Dawson said, The box office exceeded one billion yesterday. Yes. Our box office has always been good, and getting even better now. Anisa Cooper said, I thought the online criticism would affect the box office. On the inte, from the first day of the Lunar New Year until now, there have always been criticisms aimed at Charlotte Lane. However, despite the criticism, the box office is getting better and better. People praise the movie while criticizing Charlotte for not yet appearing to promote the movie. People are asking why only the male lead has appeared while the female lead hasnt even interacted yet. Various attacks. They have even started attacking her for having a precious pregnancy and being treated like an ancestor. On one hand, they want her to leave the entertainment industry; on the other hand, they buy tickets to watch the movie.
Are you really not going to show your face? Hill Dawson asked. No. Charlotte Lane replied, I didnt participate in the promotion of any TV series before either. Im not the female lead in the movie, she has her own name. If I promote it too much people might not be able to distinguish if they are blindly supporting Charlotte Lane or if they are truly moved by the character. Hill Dawson did not speak. Clearly, as an agent, her opinion is different. Good works will not be buried, Charlotte Lane said, I think the current promotional force is enough. As actors, we serve the work, not the other way around. Hill Dawson still remained silent. She can understand Charlottes thoughts, but this line of thinking does not fit the current market. Seeing her not speaking, Charlotte continued, Everyones thinking is different, and their purposes are also different. This is just my personal opinion. Hill Dawson nodded: But how do you n to handle the fact that youre not Daisy Zane? Charlotte Lane looked at the Lotus Pond in the distance and paused before saying, Well see. After Anisa and the others left in the morning, Charlotte did not rest either, dealing with some Research Institute affairs. In the afternoon, she went to the Research Institute and didnt return to rk Manor until past 10 PM. After washing up and lying in bed, she received a message from Holt Lawrence.
Charlotte picked up her cell phone, and before opening Holts message, Messages from Gael Easton, Luke, James Collins, and Robinson Scott came in one after the other. On the other side, Kevin rks phone also rang at the bedside table. Charlotte opened Holts message. [Nana, the Dark Web Killer Rankings have been updated.] Other people also informed her of this matter. When Kevin finished his shower and came out, he saw the person who was supposed to be in bed, but now at the bay window, looking at herputer. He walked over, rubbing the top of her hair: Whats wrong? The Dark Web Killer Rankings have been updated. Charlotte clicked a few times, went in, and had a look. It indeed was updated. The second-ce person has been reced. And the first ce is the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons Pavilion. As for Kevin hes like a hidden expert, never appearing on the hitman list. Because he has four top assassins under hismand. Thomas Firway, Yoshua and Edward, all on the list. Only they use codenames. Moreover, one of them is ranked number one. Before, it used to be Nameless, now its the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Demons. The second ce is a neer named James Flory. How long has it been since a neer appeared on the hitman list? No wonder everyone is so excited. Kevin stood behind her, looking serious, Youre giving up sleep just for this? Having said that, he closed theputer directly and carried her back to bed. Charlottey in bed and closed her eyes. Kevin stood beside the bed, watching her. Sure enough, after a while, with her eyes closed, Charlotte said, Arent you curious? A sudden neer might affect some situations. It wont affect us. Kevin stood there for a while, eventually leaning down and giving her a gentle kiss, Get a good nights sleep. Otherwise, next time Ill have to tie you up and bring you back from the Research Institute. Charlotteughed but said nothing more. Chapter 603: 546: Unknown Hair Chapter 603: Chapter 546: Unknown Hair In March, the potion to eliminate 319 was named Rebirth. The Phase III clinical trial ended, entering the production stage. After that, they still needed to wait for review, authoritative department inspection Charlotte Lanes work also became a bit easier, at least she could get off work on time now. At this stage, besides Rebirth production matters, Charlotte Lanes team was researching the things brought out from Edwards Laboratory. Although they couldnt achieve the stage of immortality, both Drunken Life Grass and 319 had significant research value. If used well, they would be of great help to some major diseases andplicated cases. The things Kingsley Family researched for three generations were of great significance to human beings, but they didnt use them properly. In order to achieve their own goals, they used human lives for experiments. Charlotte was more than five months pregnant with twins, so her belly was bigger than a single childs. She was definitely tired, and her movements were not as agile as before. However, since she was only doing experiments now and didnt have to travel between various continents to fight, it didnt have much impact. Harton rk also hardly left her side. From the time she found out she was pregnant, the two had been almost always together. Harton rk didnt go anywhere, wherever Charlotte went, he would follow.
So, he hadnt been to the Easton Group for a long time. All matters were dealt with remotely. Only when he had no choice but to go, Harton would go to Easton Group. However, he would only go to Easton after making sure Charlotte was well taken care of every day. Furthermore, he arranged for Thomas Firway, Aunt Cruz, William Lane, and Robinson Scott to watch over her at any time. Even then, he wasnt very reassured and called to inquire every day. It feels so good to get money every day without doing anything, Robinson Scott said while apanying Charlotte in theboratory. When havent you gotten money without doing anything? Charlotte asked. Its not the same. The money I had before came from my own industries, Robinson said, Now, this moneyes without any effort. Brother Nine, your Third Master is incredible, giving me 10 million for apanying you for one day. I really want to apany you for the rest of my life. Looking at the experimental data, Charlotte said, You can have half. Brother Nine, why are you saving him money? Robinson didnt go near the experimental table and sat a little further away, The rks have a lot of money, even if I really apany you for the rest of my life, he can afford it. His money has nothing to do with me splitting half with you, does it? Charlotte said calmly, Anyway, the money divided is his money. Robinsonughed, It seems like theres really nothing wrong with what you said. Harton rk is already yours; Brother Nine wouldnt even care about this amount of money. I think every penny is good, Charlotte said. Thats true, Robinson agreed, Youre a money-lover. While Charlotte had someone apanying her at all times, Harton rk was continuously working on improving the speed at which he handled his work. In the end, he still couldnt pick Charlotte up after work. By the time Charlotte arrived at rk Manor, he had juste out of his office. As a result, he hurried to the parking lot and stood by his car only to discover that he had not brought his car keys. Harton rk looked at his Bugatti and was speechless for a moment. He simply asked Juan Wright to bring the keys down and also asked him to bring his coat as well.
When he arrived at rk Manor, Charlotte was watching Charles Amos doing his homework. Charles Amos, or rather, Christopher rk, was already attending school. He was in the fifth grade, and he had homework every day after school. Although the homework was too simple for him, he had to follow the rules of school since he attended there, so he dutifully did his homework daily.
And he especially liked doing it on the tea table in the front hall. The front hall could be considered the noisiest ce in the entire Manor. Peopleing and going. But since he enjoyed it and no one bothered him, he was fine with it. What is this? Charlotte asked, sitting next to him. Reflection, Charles Amos said, I didnt do the eye exercise during the long break, and I got points deducted. Charlotte Lane: Charles Amos quietly wrote his reflection, until Charlotte Lane saw that he had already missed eye exercises three times, she didnt want to watch anymore and wanted to leave. Where are you going? Charles Amos didnt want her to leave. This part is not conducive to prenatal education; I am leaving. Charlotte Lane said. I wont write this anymore, I will write something else. You can watch something else, Charles Amos said while putting the half-written reflection under a book. But, because he was in a hurry, the math book wasnt picked uppletely. He just grabbed a few pages and lifted them. As the math book was lifted, the pages flipped, and something fell out of the book.
Charlotte Lane, Charles Amos, Kevin rk, who had just washed his hands, and Harton rk, who came in from the side gate, all unconsciously looked at the thing that fell out onto the tea table. A two-inch ID photo. In the photo was a little girl with a bun Four people stared at the ID photo silently for two seconds, and then Charles Amos immediately reached for the photo and quickly stuffed it back into the book. The three adults suddenly exchanged nces. Charlotte Lane looked at Charles Amos whose ears turned red as he lowered his head and raised the corner of her mouth, I was wondering why on the first day of school, he had a steamed bun face as if he was going to blow up the school, but he was so active the next day. Harton rk enjoyed the fun, and seeing Charles Amos little figure burying his head, heughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking. Charlotte Lane saw Charles Amos ears turn even redder, and she said nothing. She rubbed his hairs top and said to Kevin rk, Sign him up for swimming sses. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows, Hmm. What for? asked Charles Amos softly. To save your wife when you grow up, Charlotte Laneughed. Charles Amos understood and lowered his head, whispering, I will save you first. Charlotte Lane rubbed his head again and said, First of allI can swim. SecondlyI have your Dad, Kevin.
Lastly, I wont let your mom fall into the water, Kevin rk said. Charlotte Lane looked at him and chuckled, Impressive. Kevin rk also smiled. Just then, Aunt called them to eat. Charlotte Lane rubbed Charles Amos burning face again, Shes quite pretty, and you have good taste. Go wash your hands and eat. Harton rk stoppedughing and took him to wash his hands. Charlotte Lane went to the other sides washroom, and as soon as she entered, Kevin rk followed her in. What are you doing? Charlotte Lane nced at him while washing her hands. Kevin rk waited for her to finish washing, then dried her hands for her and gently kissed her cheek, Dont you miss me? No, Charlotte Lane answered quickly. Kevin rks words had just fallen, and she had already answered. Tsk, Kevin rk held her chin and gently bit her lips, Why are you so annoying? Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the hair on his shoulder. She raised her hand and took the hair down. Upon leaving the ck shirt, she realized that the hair was red and wavy.
And there was more than one strand. Charlotte Lane took another strand down. Holding two strands of hair in her hand, she looked at Kevin rk. Under the contrast of Charlotte Lanes fair wrist, the two red hair strands appeared particrly eye-catching. Kevin rk. Chapter 604: 547: Not Fragrant At All Chapter 604: Chapter 547: Not Fragrant At All After Kevin rk came back, he took off his coat in the entryway, and the hair was on his shirt. He had no idea when it got there. As he listened to Charlotte Lane calling his name softly, he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. Little girl. I, I dont know, Kevin rk seemed to be afraid that Charlotte Lane would leave, so he held her other hand first. Ive been in the office all day today, and I didnt see anyone besides Juan Wright. Really. If you dont believe me, go check Ryan Eastons surveince. Charlotte Lane looked at him without speaking. I really dont know how there could be hair, Kevin rks expression at that moment was the epitome of helplessness, nervousness, and fear. His ears roared, and the view in front of him shrank, until he could only see Charlotte Lane. The restroom was spacious, but he felt the space waspressing, the surrounding air was gradually thinning, making it difficult for him to breathe. Dont be angry, dont get excited. Your health is important, Kevin rk said nervously. Or hit me to vent your anger first. Charlotte Lane looked at him for a moment, then threw the hair in her hand into the trash can nearby and washed her hands again. Kevin rk stood beside her, not daring to breathe, with his hands sweating and his mind somewhat short-circuited. He just stared nkly at her as she washed her hands.
After Charlotte Lane finished washing her hands, she dried them and looked at him again: Kevin rk, if you dare to do something that betrays me, Ill make you the housekeeper in rk Manor. I wont, Kevin rk looked at her seriously. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and looked at him as well, saying: I trust you. Kevin rks muscles rxed a bit, followed by feeling drained of all energy, his fingertips trembling: Im sorry. Charlotte Lane held his hand: Lets go have dinner. Kevin rk didnt eat much for dinner, and after finishing, he went back to the North Court. Charlotte Lane didnt go with him, as she and Natalie Wayne had a chat in the front courtyard. So Kevin rk went back first. On the way back, Kevin rk only wore a shirt, and threw his coat into the trash can outside. He called Juan Wright and asked him who he had met when he took his clothes. Juan Wright thought for a moment and said: Morgan Mia, we shared an elevator. She left from the first floor, and I went to the parking lot. Why was she at thepany? Kevin rk asked. She was hired by Human Resources, Juan Wright said. Kevin rk wouldnt interfere in the recruitment of non-important positions, and the Imperial Capital Branch had a manager who was specifically responsible for operations. Kevin rk was mostly in charge of the technical part. He would only handle major events. Did she dye her hair? Kevin rk asked. He hadnt seen Morgan Mia at rk Manor for quite some time, and he didnt know if she had moved out or if she was still there but just hadnte across her. Yes, its red, Juan Wright was puzzled by the question. Third Master, whats wrong? Fire her tomorrow, Kevin rk said directly.
Huh? Kevin rk hung up the phone. After returning to the North Court, Kevin rk threw away the shirt he had taken off and went to take a shower. After taking a shower, he changed his clothes and nned to go to the front courtyard to find Charlotte Lane.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Charlotte Lane standing outside the room, holding a tray and about to enter. Kevin rk took the tray from her first. Did you take a shower? Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows. Why didnt you let someone else bring it? Kevin rk asked. Im pregnant, not disabled, Charlotte Lane entered the bedroom. Are you really going to skip dinner? I didnt have much of an appetite, Kevin rk held her hand and sat down at the tea table on the balcony. Charlotte Lane sat down and said: I personally brought it up from downstairs, do you have an appetite now? I do. Charlotte Lane smiled: Youre just a few years older than Charles Amos. Kevin rk smiled too and picked up his chopsticks to eat. When I said I trust you, I really meant it, Charlotte Lane said. I know, Kevin rk replied, Otherwise, I probably wouldnt have a chance to breathe now. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything further, sitting in the chair and looking at rk Manor through the French window. It wasnt until Kevin rk finished eating that she looked outside and said: So fragrant.
What? Kevin rk asked. He ate all the food, even thetro that looked intentionally added to the soup. You, Charlotte Lane looked at him and said. Kevin rk blinked. Charlotte Lanes eyes were filled withughter: Time passes too slowly. What are you thinking about? Kevin rk pinched her chin and shook it. What do you think? Charlotte Lane said. Dont even think about it, Kevin rk replied, I wont cooperate. Charlotte Lane grabbed his wrist, bit the tigers mouth, then threw it away, looked outside, and said coldly: Its not fragrant anymore. Kevin rkughed, and reached out to touch her head. Charlotte Lane didnt ask about the hair incident afterwards. She even gradually forgot about it.
In April, during Charlotte Lanes prenatal check-up, a minor problem was found. Then she was ordered to rest at home for a few days. Since Ryan Easton was busy during this time, Kevin rk couldnt leave him. To make it easier to protect Charlotte Lane, Kevin rk transferred Alfie Ward from the M Continent and had him apany her at home in the meantime. When going out, Alfie Ward and Thomas Firway would protect her together. After her nap, Charlotte Lane was bored. So she and Alfie Ward walked around rk Manor. When the two of them climbed the arch bridge, Charlotte Lane saw Charles Amos running over. She grabbed him and said, What day is today? Charles Amos looked at her and said, Tuesday. So why are you at home at this time? Charles Amoss small hand touched her belly, thenughed: To tell you it may not be good for fetal education. Skipping ss, Charles Amos, you have a promising future, Charlotte Lane whispered. Hush, Charles Amoss index finger was pressed against his lips, Dont let my younger brothers and sisters hear. Just this once, I promise not to do it again. I have an urgent matter.
As Charles Amos spoke, he gently let go of Charlotte Lanes hand and ran off, shouting, There wont be a next time! Charlotte Lane watched his retreating figure, sneered, and immediately called Finn rk to block him. As she made the call, she watched Charles Amos run along the riverside under the bridge, telling Finn rk where he might be going. As she watched, a figure entered her line of sight. Morgan Mia, whom she hadnt seen for a long time. With a head of red hair. Charlotte Lane saw her red hair, and her eyes narrowed. The next moment, the hurried Charles Amos and Morgan Mia collided. Charles Amos immediately plunged towards the river. Alfie Ward saw that Morgan Mia deliberately collided with Charles Amos and gave him a push. Although it was subtle, she still saw it. When Charlotte Lane saw Charles Amos falling, her pupils shrank, and she immediately walked towards him. Sister-inw, slow down, Alfie Ward caught up with her. Chapter 605: 548: Trash Chapter 605: Chapter 548: Trash rk Manor is so big, there were servants everywhere. Seeing Charles Amos about to fall, all the nearby servants who happened to catch sight of this immediately ran towards him. But when more than half of Charless body had already fallen over the railing, Aunt Cruz, faster than all the servants, managed to pull him back in time. Because she was pulling Charles, Aunt Cruz identally pushed Morgan Mia. Charles, where did you hit? Without bothering about anything else, Aunt Cruz wanted to check on his condition first. But just as she bent down, she was pped on her left cheek. What do you think you are! How dare you push me! Morgan Mia yelled angrily. Her p was very forceful, Aunt Cruzs cheek immediately swollen, and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth. Grandma Cruz. Charles angrily pushed Morgan Mia and red at her, And what exactly are you! You Before Morgan Mia could finish her sentence, she heard hurried footsteps approaching. She turned around and was greeted with a p on her face.
A sharp p that sliced through the air. L Campbells p too, was very forceful, causing Morgan Mia to stagger. L. Worried L might harm the baby, Aunt Cruz immediately went over to hold her. L patted Aunt Cruzs hand to reassure her, then let go. Morgan Mia was stunned by the p. She held her face, and after a moment, looked at L Campbell, You dare to hit me! L Campbell stepped forward and gave her another p from the other side. This p was even harsher. Taken by surprise, Morgan Mia staggered again. As she regained her bnce, she was about to fight back. Alfie Ward caught the hand she raised. As she raised her other hand, L Campbell, faster than Alfie, grabbed her wrist and forcefully yanked her to the side. Sister-inw. L. The force L Campbell used was so strong that Alfie, Aunt Cruz and Charles all were startled, fearing for her safety. L Campbell dragged Morgan Mia directly to the railing by the river, and before she could resist, she forcefully pushed her into the river. With a loud ssh, Morgan Mia began to struggle in the water. Although its April and the river has already thawed, the water was still chilly during the dozen degrees weather. The river wasnt deep, but Morgan Mia couldnt get up from struggling and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. L Campbell watched her coldly. The servants nearby were all scared. Resurfacing, Morgan Mia shouted, L Campbell, you are insane!
No sooner had she finished speaking, she fell back into the water, swallowing more water. It was you who pushed me first, Charles said coldly, This is called reaping what you sow. You deserved it. The coat Morgan Mia was wearing got soaked and increasingly heavy, and she continued to struggle in the river. The icy water was numbing, and her struggle subsided somewhat. Madam Should we pull her out It could be life-threatening a servant whispered.
L Campbell didnt respond, she just stood on the shore, watching her. The look in her eyes, it was as if she was looking at a corpse. L Campbell! Morgan Mia shouted at her again. Again, a servant spoke up, Madam, should I call for help? Alfie was standing next to her, feeling the intensity of her aura. From these few days of interaction, he had initially thought that Third Masters wife was a seemingly cold but soft-hearted person. Now, it seemed she could also be ruthlessly terrifying. L, just let it go. Aunt Cruz said, If something really happens, it wont be easy to exin to Boss Wayne. L Campbell nced at Aunt Cruzs swollen face, but didnt say a word. L Campbell! You are treating me like thisGranny Wayne will not let you off Morgan Mias voice trailed off. Someone ran to the front yard to inform others. L, called Aunt Cruz with concern when she saw someone had gone to the front yard. Charlotte Lane still didnt loosen her grip.
It wasnt until Morgan Mia had no strength to struggle and closed her eyes and sank, that Charlotte spoke after a while, Worthless. She finished speaking and nced at Alfie Ward. Alfie Ward ordered someone to go in, and the person was pulled out. The person was dragged onto the shore and immediately woke up and spat several mouthfuls of water. Then someone pressed her a few times to make her vomit some of the water she had swallowed. The river was not deep; Morgan Mia was trying to fool Tom Wayne by pretending to be pathetic. So, Charlotte Lane indulged her, letting her choke on a few more mouthfuls of water. Morgan Miay on the ground, her body icy cold, shaking uncontrobly. Her face was deathly pale, and her skin was either frozen by the river water or turning purple because of the poor venttion. Every breath she took seemed to cause a sharp pain in her chest. For a moment, she felt as if she really had almost choked to death in there. She was too exhausted to continue the pretense, but she kept still, risking her life. Charlotte Lane didnt look at her again; she walked away, holding onto Aunt Cruz hand. Aunt Cruz brought Charles Amos with him. Alfie Ward followed closely behind.
After walking a distance, Aunt Cruz nervously said, L, are you okay? Do you feel ufortable anywhere? Im fine, Charlotte Lane turned her head and looked at Aunt Cruzs swollen face, Im sorry you had to go through all that, and that you had to suffer such an insult today. All that is nothing, Aunt Cruz said, You should worry about your own health, do not get angry over this. Nothing is more important than your health. Charlotte Lane nodded, then turned to Charles Amos, Did you hurt yourself anywhere? I bumped my ribs a bit, Charles said, But I should be fine. She pushed me. And I was never going to hit her in the first ce, but she suddenly came after me. I saw it, responded Charlotte Lane. Charles Amos was silent for a moment, then took a few steps with them before he suddenly ran off. Charles! Aunt Cruz shouted. Charles didnt reply, he just kept running. Charlotte Lane stopped, watching Charles, then said after a moment, Leave him be. But Im worried hes hurt, said Aunt Cruz. Hell be alright, Charlotte Lane assured her, If he gets hurt, he knows where to find someone to apply medicine. Charlotte Lane returned to apply some medicine, leading Aunt Cruz.
Meanwhile, Charles had returned to the riverbank. When he got there, Morgan Mia was already helped up, preparing to return home. Her clothes were soaking wet, and she was shivering from the cold. Upon seeing her, Charles timed his actions perfectly, managed to separate her from the people helping her, and pushed her back into the water. Morgan Mia was quick to react, even in her shivering state she instinctively tried to pull Charles down with her. But this time, Charles evaded in time. Morgan Mia grabbed hold of a railing on the edge of the river, but Charles had a needle in his hand that stabbed her palm. Morgan Mias reaction, after choking on water, was a little slow. The pain forced her to loosen her grip and she fell back into the water. Ssh. Charles! Harton rk, who was apanying Tom Wayne and Elina rk, came over and just happened to see Charles pushing her. A servant once again went in to save Morgan. Knowing that someone wasing, Morgan Mia yed possum, sinking again and choking on a few mouthfuls of water. Charles watched her with cold eyes, flinging out the words, Quit the charade. Then he stood by the riverside, waiting for Harton rk and the others to arrive. Chapter 606: 549: Can’t Count on This Father Chapter 606: Chapter 549: Cant Count on This Father Kevin rk quickly learned about the incident at rk Manor while he was at Ryan Easton, and he immediately left everything behind and returned home. When he arrived home, he stepped into the Front Hall, and everyone there was startled. Today, Theo rks family was also there, and when they saw him return, no one spoke for a while. Kevin rk nced around the Front Hall and then asked, Where is she? Why did youe back at this time? Natalie Wayne asked. Kevin rk looked at her, his cold expression softened slightly, but he did not answer her. Natalie Wayne cleared her throat and said, She was sent to the hospital. In fact, after Natalie Wayne had given Morgan Mia a few injections and had her take some medicine, she would be fine. But in order to save her life, Natalie Wayne had her sent to the hospital immediately after administering the injections. Otherwise, his son would definitely kill someone when he returned home. As soon as Morgan Mia was sent to the hospital, Kevin rk arrived home.
Everyone in the Living Room was afraid that Kevin rk would lose his temper. Kevin rk said nothing more and turned to leave. As soon as he left, everyone in the Front Hall breathed a sigh of relief. Will Kevin go to the hospital now? Calvin Stewart asked. He will definitely go to the North Court to see L Campbell first, replied Natalie Wayne. There must have been a reason why Kevin suddenly expelled Morgan Mia from Ryan Easton and did not allow her to stay at home, Elina rk said. Today, she suddenly pushed Casey Cannon and hit Megan Cruz. Megan Cruzs status in the Lane Family and Ls heart are well-known. Its like pping Madam Lane in the face. L spared her life just to save face for our family. I know, Natalie Wayne replied. Lets stay out of the young peoples affairs, Elina added. Were not directly involved, so we dont know the whole story. Lets not ruin the harmony of the family because of it. I understand, Natalie Wayne replied. Kevin rk drove directly from rk Manor to the North Court via the asphalt road. When he arrived at the North Court, he found L Campbell in the study. He entered the room. L Campbell was sitting behind the desk, reading a book. Seeing him rush back, she raised her eyebrow and asked, Who delivered the news so quickly? Are you feeling unwell? Kevin rk walked over to her. No, L Campbell said, I felt quite relieved after hitting someone. Kevin rk grabbed her wrist, checking her pulse. When he finished, L Campbell said, Aunt Wayne came over and checked on me. Im fine. Seeing that her condition and mood were good, the gloom in Kevin rks eyes finally dissipated, and he sighed in relief. He touched her face, bent over, and kissed her. Then he caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye.
He stood up and looked toward the entrance. Charles Amos was standing by the bookshelf near the door, staring at the two of them. Kevin rk had entered so hastily that he hadnt noticed another person in the study. What are you looking at? L Campbell asked.
Charles Amos lowered his gaze. Whats wrong? Kevin rk asked. Let him tell you himself, L Campbell said indifferently. Charles Amos pursed his lips, I pushed Morgan Mia into the water again, and also pricked her with a needle. Where did you get the needle? L Campbell asked. I took it from her when she pushed me, Charles Amos replied. L Campbell chuckled, Youve be quite capable. Charles Amos remained silent. Why were you punished to stand there? Isnt this a good thing? Kevin rk looked at L Campbell and asked. Charles Amos looked up, his eyes filled with hope. L Campbell looked at Charles Amos, Was it because of this matter that you were made to stand there? The light in Charles Amoss eyes was extinguished, and he lowered his head again, whispering, I skipped ss. Youre talking nonsense, L Campbell said. You want to tell your father Kevin that your merits can offset your faults, right? Too bad, your father Kevin is no longer the head of the family.
Charles Amos looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk looked back at him, Its true, I''m no longer the head. Charles Amoss eyes were filled with sympathy. But Kevin rk seemed to enjoy hisck of responsibility. Charles Amos sighed, shaking his head. This father cannot be relied on. After seeing that Charlotte Lane was fine, Kevin spent some time with her, visited Aunt Cruz, and then went back to Ryan Easton. On his way back to Ryan Easton, Kevin had someone send Morgan Mia to the hospital. Things moved quickly, as soon as Kevin arrived at Ryan Easton, he received a call from Natalie Wayne, asking where he had sent Morgan Mia. Kevin said that he would not let her stay in the country, but he did not say where he had taken her. Even if Kevin did not say anything, Natalie knew for sure it must not be a good ce. She worriedly said, She is still running a fever and has some lung infection. She is not fit for a long journey. Mom, this is the biggest concession I can make, Kevin said patiently. If something had happened to L today, her life would not be sufficientpensation. She also tried to push Casey Cannon into the water and hit Aunt Cruz. Such a menace should not be kept.
His biggest concession was to let Morgan Mia live, but what kind of life she would have, he did not know. Natalie remained silent. Morgan Mia seemed to know that Kevin was protecting Charlotte and avoided a head-on conflict. However, the people she cared about C Charles Amos and Megan Cruz C were attacked, like a p in Charlottes face. Kevin continued, Mom, some people take advantage of your kindness and see it as their own ATM machine, a support for their capricious behavior. Still, Natalie did not speak. If her familyes to ask for her, let them meet with me, Kevin said, I have to go, I am a bit busy. Natalie responded softly, and then hung up the phone. By May, Charlotte Lane hadpleted her half-year term as Dean. The families gathered again to cast their votes, and this time, the result was unanimous approval. Charlotte Lane now held the position of Dean firmly. After the votes were cast, the Rebirth Potion went on sale, avable for free to all those who had been harmed by the 319 incident. With a 95% sess rate, only a small proportion could not be cured due to pre-existing organ problems, requiring further treatment and medication in a hospital. After theunch, the production process of Rebirth and the list of participating researchers were disclosed.
The research had started years ago, from the first time 319 was discovered. From then until now, everything had been carefully documented with a clear timeline. Once this information was made public, those who had previously criticized Charlotte online now had to face the painful p of the truth. While they were exposing Charlotte online, she was busy saving lives by making drugs, even while being pregnant. Apologies flooded the inte once again. This time, however, they were not so easy to let go. Anyone who had ever posted derogatoryments about Charlotte online had theirputers paralyzed and cellphones rendered unusable except for making calls. Whenever they wanted to use any app, they had to input a specific sentence. The input temte read: [I am trash, I am a bastard, I am a big dumbass, I am not human. Charlotte Lane is the most beautiful and kind-hearted person in the world.] Once they entered this sentence, it was automatically posted to their Facebook ounts and could not be deleted. Only then would their cellphones return to normal functioning. Worse yet, their phones would suddenly be paralyzed at random times each day, forcing them to enter the sentence and post it on Facebook again. As people used their phones, they never knew when they would have to start cursing themselves. Changing phones or SIM cards did not help. The self-derogatory phrases would be updated every day, while the praise for Charlotte remained the same. Many people called the police, but the hackers were too skilled to be caught. When the police questioned Charlotte at rk Manor, she denied any involvement. Eventually, they decided some crazy fan must have been responsible. Many people broke down over time, experiencing firsthand how it felt to be cursed at, especially by themselves. Each day, they insulted themselves in new and creative ways. Gradually, many of them began to offer sincere apologies Chapter 607 - 550: Third Master’s Waist Chapter 607: Chapter 550: Third Masters Waist [Every day is so exciting on the inte. Its the first time Ive seen anything like this where people are cursing themselves on Facebook.] [The Eldest Daughter of the Lane Family is quite something.] [The fans of the Eldest Daughter of the Lane Family are quite something.] [This is more effective than Charlotte Lanes fans arguing online.] [They deserve to be scolded. They have nothing better to do than to hide behind the inte like mad dogs, cursing others. Seething with jealousy and incapable of doing anything.] [Now who would dare to mess with Charlotte Lane.] [I heard about a 15-year-old child who rage-quits a game as they cried.] [May there be no more online expos in the world.] [Am I the only one who thinks that Charlotte Lane is terrifying? She doesnt respond when shes being cursed but strikes back suddenly. She can urately locate every single person. This level of uracy can pinpoint peoples homes and every ce they go to.] [Thats why it is best not to provoke her. This course of action is already considered merciful.] After analyzing the situation online, those who cursed at Charlotte Lane became even more afraid and behaved themselves. The great mask of the inte has been mercilessly torn off, leaving thempletely exposed. Its as if they went to the Lane Family and the entrance of rk Manor to curse others in person. They scolded Charlotte Lane right in front of everyone, pointing at her directly. Without the protection of the inte, everyone is afraid and deted. Charlotte Lanes opinion of this whole incident can be summarized in two words: Superficial. Doesnt she have any other qualities besides her beauty? Its always the same sentence every day. As for brown-nosing, after all these years, Holt Lawrence finally found the right direction. Praising her in other ways didnt work, but praising her beauty definitely did the trick. In June, Charlotte Lane was eight months pregnant. She often had trouble sleeping at night, increased trips to the restroom, difficulty breathing when lying down for too long, backache, and asional swollen ankles. Kevin rk would wake up whenever she made the slightest movements at night, sometimes giving her back massages. When she had trouble breathing lying down, he would have her lean on his chest and hold her while they slept. Charlotte Lane gained nearly 20 pounds during her pregnancy, while Kevin rks weight kept decreasing. No matter how light her movements were, Kevin rk would always wake up. At 2 AM, Charlotte Lane had trouble breathing and decided to go to the balcony for some fresh air. As soon as she moved, Kevin rk woke up. Whats wrong? Nothing, Charlotte Lane replied, You sleep. I just need some air. Ill go with you. They went to the balcony, and Charlotte Lane looked at the small hanging lights, ground lights, andnterns of rk Manor at night. Kevin rk stood behind her, holding her while she leaned on him. Brother Arthur, shouldnt we start picking names for these two little ones? Kevin rk kissed her ear and asked, Do you have any preferred names? For a boy, it should be easy. Pick a character following the word ͥ. For consistency, it should also have on the side, Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk chuckled, Alright. For a girl Charlotte Lane thought, I dont know. By the time of their prenatal checkup, they already knew the genders of their unborn children. One boy and one girl. Lilith rk? Patricia rk? Abigail rk? Felicia rk? Evelyn rk? Penelope rk? Luna rk? Charlotte Lane suddenly mentioned many varieties of lotus flowers, Or what about Crystal rk or Albert rk? Kevin rkughed, As long as she doesnt mind when she grows up, I dont mind either. Charlotte Lane alsoughed, Lets decideter. There are so many people. By that time, we can choose a name they like. Alright. At the end of August, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts held a new productunch. The highlight of thisunch event was mens clothing from Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts. Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts originally had mens clothing, but they focused more on womens clothing. The only thing is, this time the mens clothing was designed by Shopie Easton. Shopie has never designed mens clothes before. This is her first time. Her designs still received high praise from various parties. After the press conference, people quickly discovered that All the mens clothing designed by Shopie is not for sale to the public. During everyones confusion, in early September, at Ryan Eastons new productunch, Kevin rk was filmed attending the event. Everyone saw the clothes Kevin rk was wearing. Isnt that the clothing designed by Shopie! When designing the clothes, Charlotte Lane used many careful ideas. And all those ideas were aimed at Kevin rks waist, with each outfit demonstrating the beauty, strength, and lines of Kevins waist in different patterns. Kevin rks figure is excellent, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs; he looks slim in clothes and has a muscr physique when undressed. On this basis, Charlotte Lane magnified her favorite aspects of his figure infinitely. As soon as Kevin rk was filmed, the curiousizens exploded on the inte. [Help! Third Masters waist! Im dying!] [Im sorry! Its all my fault. I shouldnt have been obsessed with Third Master. I was wrong. I was really wrong.] [Haha, honestly I admit my mind is full of inappropriate thoughts.] [I took a twenty-minute nap and dreamt about Third Master. Woke up with a pillow soaked in drool.] [I get it now! Brook Sister is a real pervert! Huge pervert! She made the first move!] [Thank you, Brook Sister, for broadening our horizons.] [Third Masters waist is like a lethal weapon.] [Brook Sister is generous, always happy to share good things.] [Not generous at all. She only let us have a glimpse and then enjoyed it all by herself!] [Not only did she enjoy it, but shes also pregnant now.] [Help! What are you guys talking about! Look at what youre saying! The entirement section doesnt have a belt on!] [Oh my god, did you guys notice the size of these clothes? Professionals analyzed detailed data. Third Masters figureis amazing!] [But Third Master seems to have lost a lot of weight.] [I also noticed that Third Master has been losing weight since Brook Sister got pregnant.] [What a good man. Rich, powerful, handsome, great figure, treats his wife well, and lives well.] [Sister, how do you know?] [With that waist, its absolutely good.] [No, isnt your focus off? Shouldnt we be angry? Their actions are like unting their love. Isnt that infuriating?] [Furious! Very furious! They should be condemned! But given that waist, I forgive them.] [Facing Third Masters photo, I cant get angry at all!] Charlotte Lane took care of all the things that needed to be handled at the research institute yesterday. Today, she stayed at home, preparing to go to the hospital. As the due date approaches, people from the rk and Lane families insisted that she go to the hospital. She didnt want to go, so Old Master Lane was going to pick her up personally. He even actually went to the research institute to pick her up after work yesterday. The closer the due date, the more anxious everyone bes, even Charles Amos being visibly nervous. Only Charlotte Lane appears unbothered. Kevin rk was packing things in the cloakroom while Charlotte Lane was sitting on the sofa in the bedchamber, browsing the onlinements. As she was reading, she felt like she had thrown Kevin rk into a nest of wolves and leopards, about to be devoured at any moment. Dont keep looking at your phone. Radiation. Kevin rk said from the cloakroom. Charlotte Lane put her phone aside and went to get the fruit tray. Just as her fingertips touched the edge of the fruit tray, she suddenly furrowed her brows, followed by a warm sensation beneath her. Charlotte Lane paused: Kevin rk. Whats wrong? Kevin asked, walking over. Sitting on the sofa, Charlotte turned her head to look at Kevin and said in a tone that was as indifferent and helpless as possible, Stop packing. Lets just go to the hospital now. Chapter 608 - 551: Dragon-Phoenix Twins Chapter 608: Chapter 551: Dragon-Phoenix Twins Charlotte Lane sat on the sofa looking at Kevin rk. Upon hearing her, Kevins pupils dted. Although he had rehearsed this scenario countless times in his mind, his brain still nked for a moment, and his face turned slightly pale. But he forced himself to calm down immediately. He quickly took out his cell phone and unlocked it with trembling fingers. He had to try twice before seeding, and then he called Thomas Firway. Drive the car to North Court, hurry! Upon hanging up, Kevin rushed to the cloakroom and grabbed two clothes, wrapping Charlotte in one and carefully lifting her up: Does it hurt a lot? Its okay, Charlotte replied with one arm around his neck, looking at his bloodless lips and stiff body. She couldnt tell if she was giving birth or if he was. Why was his reaction even bigger than hers? Thomas Firways car arrived quickly. Kevin put Charlotte in the car and buckled her seatbelt. Alfie Ward quickly got in as well. Drive fast, but steady, Kevin told Thomas. After ncing at Charlotte, Thomas started the car: Yes, sir. As soon as the car started, Kevin called the hospital to let the doctors know they were on their way. When he finished the call, Alfie asked, Should we inform the family? You handle it, replied Kevin. Yes, sir. Does it hurt? Kevin held Charlottes hand. Charlotte gripped his hand: Try to stay calm. Im fine. Take back your shaky voice and then say youre fine. Kevin closed his mouth and said nothing. When they arrived at the hospital, a group of doctors was waiting. After examining Charlotte, they immediately wheeled her into the delivery room. Kevin subconsciously wanted to go in with her. Stay there, Charlotte suddenly said. Kevin stopped: Cant I go in? The doctor looked at him: Yes, husbands can go in for the delivery. Kevin looked back at Charlotte. Charlotte said, Wait outside. I Wait outside. Charlotte looked at him. Kevin didnt dare to move. The doctor nced at the seemingly aggrieved Kevin and wheeled Charlotte into the delivery room. Just before the door closed, Kevin suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the door, and his aggrieved look turned stern. He said in a deep voice, Give priority to mydys well-being and health. The doctor shuddered and hurriedly agreed: Yes, yes. As soon as the door closed, Kevins face copsed again, and he leaned against the wall for a moment. Third Master, Thomas helped him a little. Kevin avoided his hand, walked to the wall opposite the delivery room, and stared at the door with red-rimmed eyes, hands clenched at his sides. His heart felt like it was being squeezed with every breath he took, throbbing with pain. When the rk and Lane families arrived, Charlotte had been in the delivery room for over 20 minutes. At this point, Kevin looked as if his soul had left his body and couldnt respond to anyone speaking to him. His eyes remained fixed on the delivery room, blocking out all external sounds. Seeing Kevin like this, both families didnt bother trying to talk to him and instead asked Alfie for updates. Both families rushed off to the hospital. As soon as their cars stopped outside the hospital, it became a hot topic on social media. Netizens were able to guess that Charlotte Lane was giving birth based on the timing. The search went hot. When Charles Amos at school saw the news, he skipped ss again and took a taxi to the hospital by himself. Meanwhile, Charles Flores, Xavier Dominic, Joseph Allen, Austin Allen, Felix Baker, Morris, George Dunn, Turner Daniel, and Siera Santiago, from Hundred Demons Pavilion, even people from Dark Radiance, upon seeing the news, rushed from abroad to the domestic Imperial Capital. Unlike the previous check-up, this time it was childbirth. Everyone who could was heading to the hospital. One, out of concern for Charlotte Lane, and two, they all wanted to meet the little prince and princess of the rk and Lane families. Outside the hospital this time, the crowd was even more serious thanst time, with cars parked on another road. Gael Easton had learned that Charlotte Lanes due date was approaching and was preparing to go to the hospital, so he flew over from the M Continent. But as soon as he got off the ne, he saw the push notification online. He immediately went to the hospital. Everyone online was watching the dynamics, looking forward to the arrival of the little ancestors of the rk and Lane families. Outside the delivery room, the crowd gradually grew, people stepping aside to make a way, all of them waiting quietly. When Charles Amos arrived at the hospital, he ran inside. Coincidentally, James Collins and Damian Brown saw him at the entrance and called out to him twice, but he didnt hear them and disappeared in a puff of smoke. When he reached the outside of the delivery room, Charles Amos ran straight to Natalie Waynes side. How did you get here? Natalie Wayne asked, surprised. Charles Amos, drenched in sweat, had his hair sticking to his forehead, his little face flushed red, and was panting so hard he couldnt speak clearly, My mom Its okay. Dont be afraid. Natalie Wayne wiped his sweat, It should be over soon. Charles Amos eyes were red, he was scared, and he wanted to cry, but he didnt dare to cry. After Natalie finished wiping his sweat, he stood by her side for a while before moving on to stand next to Kevin rk. He called Kevin rks name a couple of times, but there was no response. So he just stood next to him in silence. One big and one small, they stood still, like two wooden stakes. Meanwhile, Arthur North never got close; he stood in the farthest ce, watching this scene all by himself. He didnt dare get closer; that ce had memories he could never touch. After a long time, the door to the delivery room opened. Kevin rk was the first to rush forward. The rks and Lanes immediately crowded around. Charles Amos squeezed his way to the front from the crowd. One of the doctors, apanied by two nurses, carried the babies out. Seeing a group of people surrounding them outside, the nurse holding the babies instinctively retreated a step back, not knowing what had happened. The doctor was also taken aback. When he went in, there were only three people outside. How could there be such arge crowd gathered when he came out? Wheres mydy? Kevin rk grabbed the doctors arm. In that instant, the doctor felt like his arm was going to break, Mrs. rk is fine; shes doing well. Shell be out in about two hours after being observed in the delivery room. The children are also very Can I go in? Kevin rk interrupted him. The doctor almost bit his tongue, swallowing hard and said, But Mrs. rk said not to let you in. She asked you to wait outside. Kevin rk furrowed his brows and let go of the doctors arm. Nobody noticed the blood on the doctors whiteb coat sleeve. The doctor continued, The children are very healthy. One boy, weighing 2,800 grams, which is about five pounds and six ounces. The girl weighs 2,700 grams, about five pounds and five ounces Chapter 609 - 552: A Lifetime Promise Chapter 609: Chapter 552: A Lifetime Promise Sophie Ortiz and Natalie Wayne each held a child in their arms. Everyone gathered around, but there were too many people, so some of them couldnt see. Gael Easton hurriedly rushed over, pushing his way to the front, looking at the two children: This Missno, Charlotte, shes amazing, she had twins. Everyone was surrounding the children, leaving Kevin rk and Charles Amos left standing at the entrance, feeling out of ce. The excitement belonged to them, but had nothing to do with those two. Is it normal to be this ugly? William Lane suddenly asked, Are we sure theyre supposed to look like this? Is there something wrong with them? As soon as he spoke, everyone suddenly fell silent for a moment. Then Sophie Ortiz red at him and eximed: Get lost! Not satisfied with just scolding him, Andrew Lane also kicked him: When you were little, your facial features were deformed. Did I ever call you ugly? William Lane was kicked, licked his lips, and said: You never told me. Charlotte and Olivia were beautiful as babies, born looking good. Olivia Lane looked at the children and said: Maybe they take after my brother, theyll be handsome when they grow up. The children had been crying in the delivery room but stopped crying when they came out. Joseph Allen gently touched the hand of the child in Natalie Waynes arms with his fingertip. The childs round little fingers were like smooth, round pearls. Bro, isnt it a bit magical? Austin Allen said. Yeah. Joseph Allen replied. Although the children were indeed ugly, everyone crowded around them, treating them like precious treasures from the delivery room to the hospital room. Two hourster, Charlotte Lane came out of the delivery room. Kevin rk immediately went to her side. Seeing Charlotte for the first time, Kevin felt all his organs return to their proper ces. He rxed with a sigh, his senses returned, followed by a dull ache all over his body. Powerlessness, fear, heartache Little girl. After Kevin rk leaned down and kissed Charlotte, he couldnt speak. It seemed like all his emotions were stuck in his throat, unable to make a sound. Charlotte reached up and gently touched his reddened eye corners: Its alright. Im finally free. The tears that had been held back in his eyes flowed down upon Charlottes touch. Kevin held tightly to Charlottes hand, not letting go even when they entered the hospital room. Although the room wasrge, there were too many people. In the end, they had to split into three groups to enter and visit Charlotte. Wheres Charles Amos? Charlotte had seen him when she came out, but hadnt seen him since they got to the room. Everyone in the room looked towards the entrance one by one. It wasnt until the people outside knew they were looking for Charles Amos that they called him in from where he was sitting in the corridor with Edward North. Charles Amos hurried into the room and slowed down as he approached the bed, step by step. What are you ying at with these slow-motion moves? Charlotte said softly. Charles Amos felt relieved when he heard her teasing him. He held her hand and hesitated for a moment before asking, Does it hurt? Yeah. Charlotte answered, It hurts a lot. Charles Amos pressed his lips together and touched her hand. At the same time, Kevin rk was sitting on the other side, holding her hand as well. Charlotte pinched Charles Amos face, making his mouth pout: Treat your wife well in the future. Okay, Charles Amos agreed, and Ill treat you well too. Ill be thankful if you just stop cutting sses. Charlotte let go of him, then asked, Did you see your younger siblings? Yes. Now you can have kids to bully, and youre not the youngest anymore. Are you happy? Charlotte squeezed his little hand. Im happy. Finally, Charles Amos smiled. After chatting with Charles Amos, Charlotte looked at Kevin rk: Did you see your son and daughter? Kevins emotions had stabilized. but his eyes were still a little red. When asked, he pursed his lips and kept a straight face saying, Yes, theyre very good-looking. Describing them as good-looking seemed to take a great effort to get out. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hospital room looked at him. The expressions on their faces seemed to say: What kind of joke are you making? When did your sense of aesthetics break down? Kevin rk noticed everyone looking at him and nced at them. All of them immediately shifted their gaze, pretending they didnt hear or see anything. Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane again and found her eyes quite intriguing. Kevin rk began to reflect on himself. Charlotte Lane hesitated for a moment and said, Should I expose your lies? Or should I say you have bad taste? Kevin rk held her hand and didnt speak. I saw the child before they were taken out of the delivery room. Charlotte Lane seemed reluctant to recall, The doctor asked me to kiss them. Charles Amoss mouth twitched. I said to keep them away, dont let their ugliness hurt my eyes. Charlotte Lane continued, These two little guys really are so ugly that they threaten our not yet fully established mother-child rtionship. And you dare say they are beautiful. Kevin rk paused and said, In the future, they will definitely be beautiful. Oh, in the future then. Charlotte Lane said and chuckled, Go take a look at them, and establish your father-child rtionship. A nurse will bring them in soon. Kevin rk didnt want to leave. Alright then. The children were brought in, and with them came Gael Easton. Gael Easton had been following these two children the whole time, admiring them up close when he could, and watching them from afar when he couldnt. Howe youre here too? Charlotte Lane was surprised to see him. Im here to see my godson and goddaughter. Gael Easton said. Did I agree to that? Charlotte Lane asked. Its not up to you to agree to it. Gael Easton rarely spoke softly, Just now weve already established a bond, so you cant decide. Charlotte Lane didnt bother arguing with him and looked back at the other people in the ward, You guys really cant resist a lively event. Of course we have to be present for such a big event. Logan messed with Charles Amoss hair and said, I must fight for the godmothers position. Step back, its none of your business. Robinson Scott said. Lets fight it out, winner takes it. Logan suggested. You think Im afraid of you? Robinson Scott rolled up his sleeves and said, Lets meet in the restroomter. Charlotte Lane chuckled. Luke said, This is a matter that concerns the heir to my Hundred Demons Pavilion. I must fight for a position as well. There should be an order to these things. Adrian Roberts said, We were obviously here first. We should inherit Dark Radiance. If its about who came first it seems I was the first one. Joseph Allen said. Felix Baker said, My foot stepped in before yours. Why dont you guys grow up? Charlotte Lane interrupted them, They just came into the world. Charles Amos doesnt even care about us. Luke said, We can only pick on the smaller ones. You guys are shameless. Gael Easton said, You have no heart for children. Lane Family and rk Family entered the ward, and Luke and the others moved to the side. Old Master Lane sat down by the bed, his spirits high, appearing years younger. He looked at Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk, Have you decided on the names yet? Do you have any suggestions, Grandpa? Charlotte Lane asked. Names, of course, should have some significance from the parents. Old Master Lane looked at Kevin rk, Kevin, any ideas? Charlotte Lane also looked at Kevin rk. Kevin rk stroked her fingers and said, Hugo rk, Noah rk. Charlotte Lanes eyshes fluttered, as she hadnte up with any names that night. Once she mentioned it, he came up with the names. What do they mean? Old Master Lane asked. Bryces radiant brilliance. Kevin rk said, Like Casey Cannon and Ethan rk, it also has the meaning of beautiful jade. Casey Cannon, who was mentioned, looked at the two children who had just been born a few hours ago and were in the same generation as him: At the sound of his own name, Charles Amos nodded with satisfaction. Old Master Lane also nodded, What about Isabe Lane? Adorable and charming, a valuable promise. Kevin rk gazed down at Charlotte Lane, his expression tender. More importantly, Kevin rk made a lifelong promise to Charlotte Lane.

She waited until the childrens cries lessened a little before returning to her room to rest. The nanny also returned to her room. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane each held a child until both stopped crying before putting them back in their cribs. Do you think theyre still cute at this time? Charlotte Lane asked quietly. Our children are of course adorable, Kevin rk replied as if his brain had been poisoned by emotion, No matter what. Charlotte Lane: Isabe Lane now looks more and more like you did when you were young, Kevin rk said softly as he looked at little Isabe Lane, The first time I met you, you looked just about like this. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk. Of course, Madam is more beautiful than her, Kevin rk said as he looked at her. Charlotte Lane smiled. There was only one dimmp in the room, making everything around them seem gentle and soft, warming their hearts. Kevin rk hugged Charlotte Lane and kissed her, Lets go to sleep. Alright. As they held hands, ready to return to bed, Aunt Cruz came out of her room again. Charlotte Lane looked at her, Aunt Cruz, whats wrong? I cant sleep, Aunt Cruz looked at the two children, I have to see them to be able to sleep peacefully. Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane both smiled, and Charlotte Lane walked over to her. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a faint noise. Her footsteps paused, and Kevin rks expression suddenly became cold. Aunt Cruz looked towards the direction of the balcony.
Their room was on the third floor, and there were guards in the periphery. But if someone was skilled enough, it would not be impossible for them to sneak past the guards and enter. Aunt Cruz turned her body towards the balcony. Kevin rk gently tapped Charlotte Lanes hand twice and then let her go.
Three secondster, Kevin rk went forward and fought with the person who came in from the balcony. Aunt Cruz followed closely to help. Aunt Cruz had grown up with Sophie Ortiz in the Ortiz Family since childhood. After Sophie Ortiz got married, she followed her to the Lane Family. Having trained in martial arts since a young age, she used to be responsible for protecting Sophie Ortiz, andter Charlotte Lane and Olivia Lane. There was no light on the balcony, so they could only rely on the moonlight outside to see the figure of the intruder. The intruder was dressed in ck tactical gear, with their face covered. From their body shape, it appeared to be a woman. She was very skilled, undoubtedly a professional killer, even one with Dark Web Killer Rankings-level ability. If it had been Aunt Cruz fighting alone, she might have been at a disadvantage. But her opponent was Kevin rk. Even two such opponents together would be no match for Kevin rk. The noise from the fight made the two children cry again. The two nannies came out again, and seeing the scene outside, they both screamed in fear. However, they were silenced by Charlotte Lanes stern gaze. Return to your rooms.
The children one of the nannies said. Dont worry, just go back. The two quickly returned to their rooms and locked the doors. Charlotte Lane nced at the crying children and ignored them, instead walking towards the balcony area. Sure enough, the next second when Kevin rk dislocated the intruders arm, a mechanism in her wrist sprang open, aimed at Charlotte Lane. L Campbell. Kevin rk called to her. His tone was one ofplete confidence that she could dodge it, simply a reminder. But Aunt Cruz instinctively tried to block it with her own body, but didnt have time. Charlotte Lane calmly sidestepped, and several silver needles pierced into the wooden shelf behind her. These were acupuncture needles, and due to the mechanism, their short-range power was not to be underestimated. Aunt Cruz stood still, relieved. Kevin rk kicked the intruder in the stomach, sending her flying into the wall, then moved forward to choke her neck. As he choked her, the cloth from her face fell off. By the moonlight, he nced at the exposed face.
Aunt Cruzs cold voice masked surprise: Morgan Mia? Not only that, but Charlotte Lane also saw something that fell from the intruder. A paper-like object with a red me on it. James Flory. The second-ranked dark webs new hitman. There is an unwritten rule for hitman rankings: to climb the ranks, each hitman must leave their mark on every job they do. To tell everyone that this was done by me. Leave their name. Obviously, this card-like paper was meant to make a name for herself after sessfully killing someone here tonight. After all, a hitman on a mission was bound to shed blood and take lives. She hade tonight to kill Charlotte Lane. Kevin rk, dont do it here. Charlotte Lane said. Kevin rk almost choked the intruder to death, but upon hearing Charlotte Lanes voice, he loosened his grip.
Morgan Mia sat on the ground against the wall, rubbing her neck and catching her breath. Charlotte Lane didnt get closer but stood still and said, James Flory? Here to kill me? Morgan Mia didnt speak, but the look in her eyes answered Charlotte Lanes question. Yes, she hade to kill her. Because I married your beloved Kevin rk? Charlotte Lane said slowly, Because Kevin rk expelled you from Ryan Easton and threw you out of rk Family and into the slums of F Continent because of me? Or do you think its because I blocked your way to marry into rk Manor and enjoy Kevin rks tenderness? Kevin rk furrowed his brows. Morgan Mia still didnt speak, her usually obedient face perfect for deception, but when filled with hatred, it was covered in ferocity. How foolish. Charlotte Lane mocked, Out of thousands of paths, you chose a dead-end. Should I say you have a simple mind and an overdeveloped body? Youll always think of solving problems violently. You wont be so smug for long, Ill kill you sooner orter. Morgan Mia finally spoke the first words of the day in a hoarse voice. Do you think you can leave here unharmed? Morgan Mia scoffed, Why not? Aside from everything else, Charlotte Lane said, even if you escaped today, do you think you can kill me? Kevin rk cant protect you forever. Morgan Mia said. Charlotte Lane chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly, Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am the Pavilion Master of Hundred Demons Pavilion,manding six Ghost Kings of Hundred Demons Pavilion, and the eternal number one on the hitman rankings that you can never surpass. Revealing her identity that meant the person before her eyes wouldnt be able to leave alive. Morgan Mias pupils suddenly narrowed: What a joke, just because you say it doesnt make it true! Impossible! Thats impossible! No one paid her any more attention. She mumbled in disbelief for a while, then looked at the balcony and suddenly ran away through the window. Charlotte Lane thought to herself: Finally, she left. Kevin rk nced at Charlotte Lane and jumped out the window as well. It wasnt convenient to deal with her here, so he let her go outside and deal with her there. L, are you okay? Aunt Cruz asked. Im fine, Charlotte Lane replied. How are you? Aunt Cruz shook her head: Third Master is too powerful. I feel like I mainly hit the air and even hindered him a bit. Charlotte Lane smiled and then looked at the needles on the shelf. Aunt Cruz followed her gaze and reached to pull them out. Charlotte Lane stopped her, They might be poisoned. Aunt Cruzs hand retracted, Right, I forgot about it. Morgan Mias family knows medicine. Charlotte Lane found a pair of disposable gloves, carefully removed the needles, and stored them. She nned to research themter at the Research Institute. Then she washed her hands and put the two children to bed with Aunt Cruz. As soon as they fell asleep, Kevin rk returned from the window. Charlotte Lane nced at Kevin rks expression and asked, Is it settled? Yes, Kevin rk said, Yoshua Archer is handling the follow-up matters. Keep an eye on her power, dont let it stir up any waves, Charlotte Lane said. Okay. Go take a shower and sleep, Charlotte Lane told him. Okay. Kevin rk went to take a shower, while Charlotte Lane gazed at the two children with a cold, enigmatic expression. The newly emerging hitman on the Dark Web fell just like that. Chapter 612: 555: Full Moon Feast Chapter 612: Chapter 555: Full Moon Feast Charlotte Lane held a full moon banquet for the two little ones at Doomsday Hotel three days after returning from the postpartum center. Still, there was no news leak, yet the whole inte knew about it. Because this time, all the luxury cars were heading to the Doomsday Hotel. Its not strange for luxury cars to enter and leave the Doomsday Hotel. After all, non-luxury cars cannot enter the hotels parking lot. But within two hours, the traffic was so massive that it must be a big event. Calcting the time it was just right for the full moon banquet. Inte users eagerly counted the days, specting what had happened. And unlike the day of the birth, there were more people today. Firstly, some people brought their families, going one family after another. For example, Xavier Dominics family went as a family of three, with his uncles side also going as a family of three. Robinson Scotts fathers also came. Secondly, some friends from both the rk and Lane families also came.
Quite a few people from the research institute also came. Besides, this full moon banquet was announced with invitations and a designated time. Many people cleared this day and came early. So there were many people. The parking lot of the Doomsday Hotel was alreadyrge enough, but some people still had to park outside. The discussion on the inte kept heating up. Gradually, some people became restless and wanted to take advantage of the situation. They even went to the vicinity of the Doomsday Hotel with cameras, intending to secretly film and make a profit. Then not only were the people in the opposite building taken out, but even the one hiding in the tree canopy was discovered. However, on such a day, they were not humiliated. Inside the Doomsday Hotel. Gael Easton came and mored to see his godson and goddaughter. No ones voice was louder than his, and it was only when he saw the children that his voice lowered. Let me see, how did my goddaughter be so pretty? Gael Easton teased the child, Shes much more beautiful than your mother. Charlotte Lane didnt bother dealing with him. My godson wow, even more handsome than Harton rk. Gael Easton said, He must be a hundred times more handsome, right? If theres a problem with your eyes, go see a doctor. Charlotte Lane replied. Gael Easton nced at her: You cant even stand a singlepliment. You two, husband and wife hmph. Not even let me have a photo, you guys are so stingy. Lower your voice. Charles Amos said, Youre scaring the younger brother and sister.
Alright alright. Gael Easton immediately lowered his voice. After a while, Robinson Scott and Phoebe Turner came over. Robinson Scott looked at the two children and said, Ivee to see you guys again. Do you remember Auntie Robinson? You havent fought with Logan. Gael Easton poked fun at her. Robinson Scotts smile froze as she turned to Gael Easton, If you want to live, dont meddle in a beautiful womans business.
Gael Eastonughed, clearly mocking her. Robinson Scott swallowed her anger in front of Phoebe Turner. Charlotte Lane saw Charles Florese upstairs, apanied by Willow Martin, and went downstairs to find them. Teacher. Charles Flores immediately smiled, and Willow Martins eyes lit up beside him. However, as soon as she met Charlotte Lanes eyes, she lowered her head again. Come, let me introduce you to your junior sister, Willow Martin. Charles Flores introduced her with a pull on Willows arm. Charlotte Lane nced at Willow Martin and smiled, It seems that the teacher is very satisfied. Of course, very satisfied. Charles Flores was in a good mood, looking like he had gotten a few years younger. Willow Martin nced at Charlotte Lane, then dropped her gaze again. Her ears turned red, Thank you, senior sister. Charlotte Lane looked at her and said softly, Thank yourself. You earned it. Willow Martin nodded, then said, Thank you, then, senior sister. Charlotte Lane chatted with them for a while, then went to find Harton rk. The two of them greeted some people on the first floor before going upstairs, where a group of people were surrounding the two children, giving them gifts.
Harton rk and Charlotte Lane stood behind them, listening to their gifts. Felix Baker gave two suites in the prime area of the city center, Joseph Allen gave two pieces ofnd, Xavier Dominic gave a diamond mine, Robinson Scott gave a gold mine, Logan gave a share of hispany holdings Charlotte Lane: Why arent you sending me off? Kevin rkughed: Were notcking the time to do so. Charlotte Lane nodded, thinking it made sense. She then walked to the side and looked at the gifts they brought along. They were all delicate gift boxes; she opened one casually, took a quick look, and closed it again. What is it? asked Kevin rk curiously. Guns. 92 Type, Charlotte Lane answered, lost for words. Pure gold. Two of them. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow, Who sent them? Charlotte Lane looked at the name, Captain Mason. Kevin rk chuckled. Charlotte Lane felt a headacheing on, wondering what kind of adults these two children would grow up to be. As she was lost in thought, she heard Felix Baker suddenly say: The gold mine in D Continent is yours.
Robinson Scott responded: Yeah. So youre familiar with yson Ninevara, meaning she knows about the gold mine too, right? Felix Baker didnt raise his voice, but it seemed he was suddenly sure of something. Robinson Scott didnt try to hide it, theughter he was holding back leaked out a little, Yeah. Then who owns the jadeite and other minerals in D Continent? Felix Baker asked again. Third Master. Robinson Scottughed outright. Then long silence followed from Felix Baker, as the surrounding people looked at him without understanding. In less than a minute, Felix Baker straightened out all the details. He squeezed out of the crowd to find Charlotte Lane. At this time, Charlotte Lane was preparing to run away. You stop right there. Charlotte Lane didnt stop. Felix Baker directly ran to block her way, staring at her. Everyone here works for me. Charlotte Lane stated, You better think carefully. Felix Baker was so angry that he was breathing heavily, looking as though he wanted to fight to the death with her, but in the end, he could only spit out four words: Give me back my money! Charlotte Lane fell silent for a moment, then replied: No.
This No was cold, indifferent, and merciless. Felix Baker was dumbstruck, hardly able to believe what he heard. You! Charlotte Lane stepped back, and Kevin rk stepped forward to shield her behind him. Felix Baker looked at Kevin rk, his livid face changing colors constantly, but he didnt dare to say a single word to him. Charlotte Lane peeked at Felix Baker from behind Kevin rk. Seeing her indifferent face purposely provoking him, Felix Baker became even more furious: Youe out; well settle this one-on-one. Kevin rk touched Charlotte Lanes face and gently pushed her head back behind him, then said to Felix Baker: Ill give you a 50% discount on the jade for the second half of the year based on the current price. Felix Bakers anger dissipated instantly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: Alright, thank you, Third Master. Joseph Allen looked at them, a gentle smile on his face, his thoughts drifting far away. He still remembered the first time he saw Shopie Easton. While captivated by her extraordinary beauty, he was also shocked by the cold, lifeless aura surrounding her. He didnt know what the girl in front of him, who had disappeared for some time, had gone through. She was living and breathing, but she appeared devoid of any warmth or life. The brokenness she exuded made others feel she could leave this world at any time. The coldness, deathly silence, and sharpness in her eyes were terrifying. He called her Shopie Easton. And she told him her name was Daisy Zane. He said, Can I call you Lucia? She replied expressionlessly, As you wish. Now, although Shopie Easton still looked cold and distant, putting a barrier between herself and others One could feel she had changed. She had be mischievous, mature, and asionally revealed a hint of cuteness. Her smiles were genuine. Someone had pulled her back from the brink of despair. Joseph Allen looked at Kevin rk. Not only had he pulled her back, but he had also melted theyers of ice wrapped around her heart, bit by bit. Chapter 613: 556: Thank you Chapter 613: Chapter 556: Thank you As the full moon banquet was nearing its end, security from Doomsday Hotel went to find Charlotte Lane, as there was a woman outside who wanted to see her. Whats her name? Kevin rk asked. She said her surname is Zheng, the security guard said. Shes been lingering at the hotel entrance for a while. Our staff approached her, and she asked to see the youngdy. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk exchanged nces: Ill take a look. Ill apany you. Both went to the entrance. The woman was standing with her back to the entrance. When she heard the footsteps, she turned to look at them. After turning around, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk stopped to look at her. The woman was wearing a long dress, with long hair over her shoulders, and a blue flower hairpin on her right ear. Upon seeing them, she smiled and said, Its been a long time since Ist saw you two. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk looked at the woman in front of them. Although they didnt show it on their faces, both were somewhat nostalgic in their hearts.
It was the woman who was used 319 in the Spotlight G years ago and was bullied by those people. At that time, Charlotte Lane promised her that she would definitely save her. Charlotte Lane didnt break her promise. Long time no see, said Charlotte Lane. Miss Sawyer said, I really wanted to see you long before, but at that time you were pregnant, and I didnt know where to find you. Today, I saw the news online and thought Id try my luck here. Lets go upstairs and sit down, said Charlotte Lane. Miss Sawyer nodded. They went upstairs and found a quiet ce, and Kevin rk left. Sitting across from each other, Charlotte Lane asked, Has your body fully recovered? Yes, Miss Sawyer said, Itspletely healed. Thank you. Charlotte Lane shook her head. I really want to thank you, Miss Sawyer said. At that time, I didnt want to live anymore, but you pulled me back. Thats why I can sit here now and still see the countless sceneries of this world. Theres nothing you cant get through, Charlotte Lane said. As long as you stay alive, things will always get better. I believe that now, Miss Sawyer said. When I think back to what happened before, it feels like a dream. After waking up, its just a dream. Compared to my life, it doesnt even ount for a fraction of it. My good life shouldnt be ruined by this little thing. Charlotte Lane looked at her, listening to her words, her fingers rubbing the table. The treatments in the hospital were really painful. 319 would have recurrent attacks. Each attack would rey the events of that day, Miss Sawyer said. Because of the hallucinations caused by 319, each attack felt like a personal experience. I could always clearly feel them touching my body. It was truly worse than death. Charlotte Lanes hand clenched a bit tighter. There was nothing that could suppress 319. I thought the hospital was really just there to prevent us frommitting suicide during the attacks. They all told me to bear it, that it could be ovee. But without experiencing it firsthand, you wouldnt know the feeling. But every time, I would faintly hear your voice, saying that there was still hope for me, that I could be saved. I thinksince you were so serious when you said it, you certainly wouldnt break your word. So I held on, she said, and smiled.
Miss Sawyerughed, Im living a very good life now. Before, I was always worried that others would think I was a monster and look at me differently. However, when I bravely went out and tried to connect andmunicate with others, I realized that everything is beautiful, and that kindness always outweighs evil. As for the evil ones why should I waste my emotions and energy on those who treat me badly? Charlotte Lane nodded. Actually, like you said, the opinions and evaluations of others are not that importanthow to live our lives matters most, Miss Sawyer said. The important thing is to face ourselves and not to despise ourselves. It doesnt matter what others think. Charlotte Lane responded with a sound.
So in any case, I should thank you in person. After Miss Sawyer left, Charlotte Lane stood at the entrance of the Doomsday Hotel for a while, until Kevin rk found her. Kevin rk touched her face. Charlotte Lane looked sideways at him. Everyone has their choices, Kevin rk said softly. We cant change what has already happened, but fortunately, we made some efforts to prevent further tragedy. Charlotte Lane lowered her gaze, took a step forward, and leaned into Kevin rks embrace. Kevin rk kissed her hair, In a few days, Ill apany you back to Cold Green Vige. Mm. After the banquet was over and most people had left, only a few stayed at the Doomsday Hotel. Charlotte Lane went upstairs to see Luke after the finishing touches were done. Kevin rk followed her into the elevator when he saw her press the button going up, What are you doing?
Going to see Luke, Charlotte Lane said. Hes upstairs. Didnt see much of him today, Kevin rk entered the elevator with her. Mm. Both reached the top floor open to the public, went to Lukes room, and Charlotte Lane knocked on the door. It took a while for Luke toe and open the door: Big Boss, Third Master. There was a crack in the door, and they could see Lukes arm being grabbed by someone, but they couldnt see the person inside. Charlotte Lane nced at the slender fingers around Lukes arm and asked, Can wee in? Yes, Luke opened the door a little wider. Only then did Kevin rk see the girl grabbing Lukes arm. He was taken aback. The girls appearance was very simr to Charlotte Lanes. She wasnt as stunning as Charlotte Lane, nor did she have the cold demeanor. The girl looked at them, her grip on Lukes arm tightened, and her eyes seemed a little frightened.
Yet she just pursed her lips tightly, standing next to Luke and watching them without any excessive reaction. Charlotte Lane nced at her, held back her gaze for fear of scaring her. It was indeed simr, even she herself thought they were alike. It was because they looked alike that Edward Kirsten abducted and drove her insane. Once inside the room, Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, Luke took the girl back to the room. Charlotte Lane sat thoughtfully as she heard Luke say, Be good and stay here, count to one hundred and Ille back. Okay, the girls voice was very gentle and soft. But, as soon as Luke turned around and was about to close the door, the girl suddenly spoke up quickly, One hundred, Im done counting. Luke paused as he was closing the door: Outside, Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows. Kevin rk furrowed his brows, feeling something was off. Be good, I have something to discuss, Luke said patiently. Ill take you to have cotton candyter.
Count to one hundred? The girl asked. Count to three hundred, Luke suddenly changed his mind. The girl looked at him without saying a word. Three hundred. Ill buy you two. Luke added. Okay, the girl agreed again. That was when Luke sessfully closed the door. Chapter 614: 557: Happiness Every Time Chapter 614: Chapter 557: Happiness Every Time Charlotte knew Luke and Logan quite early. Among the siblings, Logan looked somewhat fierce with prominent facial features and sometimes shaved his hair down to the scalp, giving off an aura of someone not to be messed with. Although Luke also had sharp facial features, he always carried a smile at the corner of his mouth and his eyes were always gentle. He looked like a gentle gentleman. But Charlotte was well aware that Lukes heart was hard and dark. He always wore a smiling face, and his voice was forever gentle, but he was ruthless and quite impatient. James Collins had taken quite a beating from him in the past, and now seeing him, he spoke very little. His personality waspletely opposite to his face. But Luke was quite patient with this girl. If Luke was facing James Collins at this point, he would have definitely beaten him up by now. Luke came out and sat opposite Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte looked at him and asked, How is she doing now? Her condition is not bad, she doesnt stare nkly or scream for long periods like before. Shes also not afraid of people anymore. Luke said, Its just that shes not very smart. Charlotte didnt need him to tell her that and asked, What did the doctor say? She was overly stimted, her nervous system is in disorder, and she is somewhat mentally abnormal. Luke continued, So shes be very childlike. The doctor says its hard to say whether she can recover. Charlotte was silent for a moment. Kevin rk looked at her, feeling a bit strange about Charlottes reaction. Whats the situation at her home? Charlotte asked again. She has too many siblings, they dont pay much attention to her. Luke said, They didnt even look for her when she went missing, so it took some time to find her family. Then her family They prefer boys over girls. They never really liked her. After they knew about her current state, they didnt want her anymore. Luke said, So I brought her back. How old is she now? Twenty-five. And her name? Charlotte asked again. Leah Campbell. Charlotte nodded, pausing to look at Luke and say, Let her stay in Imperial Capital, I will take care of her. Kevin rk raised an eyebrow. Lukes pupils trembled for a moment, Big Boss, I can take care of her. I insist on keeping her in Imperial Capital, isnt it? Charlotte said. Lukes eyebrows moved very subtly, and he smiled, That depends on whether she will follow the Big Boss.
Charlotte also smiled and said, If one day I dont want to take care of her anymore, just send her to Imperial Capital. Lukes lips moved slightly, and he wanted to refute it subconsciously but didnt say anything more atst, just saying, Alright. The sound of the room door opening was heard, and Leahs voice came out, soft and well-behaved, Im done counting. Counted up to 300. Kevin rk and Charlotte both looked at Luke.
Luke paused in his motion to grab a water ss and looked into the room, Wait a moment, someone has already gone to buy it. Oh. Leah was quiet for a moment and then reminded, Two of them. Alright. Luke called Logan, who was in a noisy ce, Where are you? Bar. He had gone to the bar in such a short time. Luke: Buy two cotton candies and bring them to Doomsday Hotel. Big Brother, what time is it now, where am I going to find cotton candies for you? Luke didnt speak, just remaining silent. Three secondster, Logans attitude immediately improved, Alright, brother, Ill go right now. Charlotteughed. Seeing herughing, Luke paused and thenughed as well. Not only her, but he himself also found it incredible that he would have such patience one day. After leaving Lukes room, Charlotte and Kevin rk briefly discussed Leahs situation.
Then Kevin rks face changed several times, but he ultimately did not curse lunatic pervert at the tip of his tongue. If it wasnt for the sake of his little girl, he would have scattered Edward Kirstens ashes. As they were preparing to leave Doomsday Hotel and go home, Sophie Ortiz spoke a few words with Charlotte before getting in the car, mainly concerning Charles Amos. She was afraid that Charles would feel neglected. Especially today, when the full moon banquet was held on arge scale, almost everyone was surrounding the two children and gave them so many gifts. Charles had been beside the two little ones all along, so he knew everything about them. Sophie Ortiz was worried that Charles would inevitably feel a gap. So she apanied Charles all day today. Until she spoke to Charlotte and heard Charlotte say, Mom, dont worry. The things given to Ethan rk and Noah rk are left over for Charles. The sum of the two might not even be as much as what Charles got alone. Sophie Ortiz: We will pay attention. Charlotte added. Thats fine. Sophie Ortiz said.
Then that night when they went home Charlotte embezzled 200 dors from Charles. James Allen and the others all gave Charles red envelopes. As for why they didnt give gifts Because Charles only likes money. That night, Charles hid the money. Charlotte used the pretext of visiting Charles before bedtime to take 200 dors from the red envelope under his pillow. Charles saw her hand reach under the pillow, and when it came out, it held 200 dors. That night Charles felt his life was gloomy. So much so that he slept particrly well that night. The next day after breakfast, Charlotte went upstairs, and at the entrance of their bedchamber, she heard Charles, who should have been at school, talking to Ethan rk and Noah rk inside the room. Here are the red envelopes from brother. Charles whispered, I hope you guys grow up quickly. It was originally a whole number, butst night mom took 200 Charles sighed a little, Shes just insincere. She must be happy spending my money, so she always takes my money. So these cash gifts are for you to keep so she can take them, and shell be happy each time she spends money Charlotte listened outside andughed, then personally took Charles to school and warned, If you skip school again, Ill send you to a boarding school. Charles pouted and got out of the car.
While Charlotte was turning the car around, she watched him chat andugh with the girl from the ID photo as they entered the school together. He even took something out of his backpack to give her. Charlotte called them little rascals while taking photos of them and sending them to Kevin rk and Edward North. Chapter 615: 558: Love Season Chapter 615: Chapter 558: Love Season A few months after giving birth, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk brought their child back to the Lane Family for a while. During their stay, Olivia Lane, who was on summer vacation, rarely stayed at home, and William Lane, who used toe home every day, suddenly seldom returned home as well. Unusual behavior often signals big problems. After staying at the Lane Family for a week, they happened to have a rest day at the Research Institute. Kevin took Charlotte to the hospital for a physical checkup. The examination results were excellent, and she had recovered very well after giving birth. Only then did Kevin finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now that Im alright, shouldnt you also work on getting your weight back to normal? Charlotte remarked. Whats wrong with this? Isnt it good? Kevin replied. At least you know. It doesnt look good. Charlotte said. Youre so straightforward. Kevin said.
Yeah, I could be even more blunt. Want to hear it? Never mind. Lets not. The two went to the Dance Association to deliver costumes for Sophie Ortiz. They also watched the rehearsals at the Dance Association for a while. Ste Edwardss leg had recovered well and she could participate in the performance. This performance marked her return after her injury. Charlotte chatted with her for a bit, and both of them tactfully avoided mentioning Edward Kirsten. After more than an hour, Charlotte and Kevin left. As they left the rehearsal building, a female student hurriedly ran towards them. She almost bumped into Charlotte. Kevin put his arm around Charlottes shoulder and pulled her towards him. Charlotte reached out and supported the girls arm. The girl was startled, and as she apologized, she looked at Charlotte with panic. When she saw Charlottes appearance, she clearly paused for a moment. Charlotte slightly raised her eyebrows as well. The girl apologized again before running into the building and disappearing around a corner. Charlotte looked at the ce where she disappeared. Kevin asked, Why? Do you know her? Not really. Charlotte looked at the spot for a while and then curved the corner of her mouth, Butshe seems to be my future sister-inw. Huh? Kevins eyebrows were filled with curiosity, and he even began to regret not looking at the girl earlier, What do you mean? The perfume she was wearing was the same as my brothersst night, Charlotte said, and the way she just looked at me.
Kevin knew her sense of smell was very keen. She seems quite young, Kevin said. Neen or twenty? Charlotte said, The winner of the dancepetition the year beforest. Kevin raised his eyebrows.
Not bad, just a dozen years older than her. Its okay, my brother looks young, Charlotte smiled. In the afternoon, Kevin apanied Charlotte to Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts again. While looking at the sample dresses, Olivia sent a message asking for help. [Sister! Where are you! Help me! My brother is scolding me at home in the study!] Charlotte received the message and rushed home immediately. Old Master Lane, Andrew Lane, Sophie Ortiz, and Aunt Cruz took Ethan rk and Noah rk for a walk in the backyard. When Charlotte and Kevin returned home, only the servants were cleaning and watering the flowers in the living room. Everything was peaceful and normal. Charlotte went straight to Williams study. Kevin was afraid Olivia might feel ufortable, so he didnt go upstairs and waited downstairs. When the door of the study opened, William Lane sat behind the desk with a serious and angry face.
Olivia stood in front of the desk, lowering her head. Even though her face was not visible, the back of her head could still convey her defiance. Hearing the sound of the door opening, both of them looked at the entrance. William was even angrier, You even called for reinforcement. Olivia nced at Charlotte and then resumed her position, lowering her head, Its because you scolded me. William snorted, I even want to hit you. Olivia pursed her lips. Charlotte walked in, What happened? Youre so angry. William was too angry to speak, so he looked at the desk and motioned Charlotte to check. Charlotte Lane looked at the desk, where a few photos were lying. She picked them up and took a look. William Lane said, Calling for backup is useless, no one is on your side. Charlotte Lane looked at the photos, which were a bit blurry, but still clear enough to see.
The main characters in the photos were Hugo rk and Olivia Lane. The surrounding buildings suggested that the photos were taken at some corner of Imperial Capital University. Hugo rk was holding Olivia Lane in his arms and kissing her. They were secretly photographed from several different angles. Charlotte Lane squinted her eyes, feeling a bit unhappy inside. Olivia Lane nced at her and, seeing her unhappy expression, immediately called out pitifully, Sister! Shut up, William Lane said. Olivia Lane closed her mouth. Charlotte Lane calmed down a bit and pulled up a chair to sit down, Where did the photose from? A student from Imperial Capital University sent them to the Lane Familys Facebook ount, William Lane said. My assistant happened to see them today. Why did he send them to you? Charlotte Lane asked. William Lanes face darkened even more. Charlotte Lane roughly understood, This student isnt he Hugo rks fan?
William Lane didnt answer. That students message was: Your Hugo rk is cheating, you better control him. Charlotte Lane knew she had guessed correctly. She nced at Olivia Lane and then said, Brother, shes old enough, its her freedom to choose who she wants to date. William Lane looked at Charlotte Lane in disbelief, Youre actually helping her. Olivia Lane pursed her lips and smiled. Stillughing! Charlotte Lane said, Brother, are you nning to break them up? I really want to, William Lane gritted his teeth and said. Brother! Olivia Lane raised her head and called him out. Look at you! Look at you! Look! William Lane was furious and wanted to p the table, but he was afraid of scaring Olivia Lane and didnt do it, Damn girl! Among men, there are so many! Imperial Capital University has plenty of outstanding men, but you have to find an older man! Wheres the old? Olivia Lane argued, He, hes only a year older than you. You know hes one year older than me! William Lanes mind buzzed, Hes a whole generation older than you! Olivia Lane didnt say anything. Charlotte Lane didnt say anything either as she watched the two of them. Regarding this matter, she really didnt have a firm stance, and her position was swaying from side to side. But soon her position was tilted because she heard William Lane say, You two are really driving me crazy. I dont mind if you find someone older, but isnt it too old! Older than me. The old men from the rk Family are so attractive. Both sisters are running after them. Charlotte Lane: Let me correct you, Harton rk is not older than you, he is one year younger than you. William Laneughed angrily, Yes. But his generation is older than mine. William Lane pointed at Olivia Lane, You, find someone a year older than me. Then pointed to Charlotte Lane, You, find someone a whole generation older than me. I really appreciate you two. Youre wee. Olivia Lane whispered. William Lane was about to explode from anger. Charlotte Lane pursed her lips to hold back herughter, and when William Lane was about to speak again, she slowly said, We didntin when you found us a twenty-year-old sister-inw. The words at the tip of William Lanes tongue suddenly got stuck. Volcano-like rage instantly turned into a flickering little me that could be blown out at any moment. Olivia Lanes eyes widened, and she looked at William Lane and Charlotte Lane with a gossip-filled expression. What? What? Which sister-inw? Olivia Lane was like a roon that cant eat melons in a melon field. William Lane pursed his lips and didnt say anything as he looked at the two of them. Still with a smile at the corner of her mouth, Charlotte Lane looked at William Lane, Your sister-inw is not only one generation younger than you. Sister, have you seen her? Where did you meet her? Take me to see her. Is she beautiful? Is she pretty? What does she do? Why do you have so many questions? William Lane said. Olivia Lane ignored him. Charlotte Lane said, At the Dance Association. Shes very beautiful. Oh ho. Olivia Lane looked at William Lane, Brother, youre pretty good. Were talking about you, not me, William Lane said. Charlotte Lane said, If the little girl likes you, why cant Olivia Lane like Hugo rk? William Lanes brows suddenly knitted, and he felt unhappy. Mainly because his younger sister liked Hugo rk. The little girl did not like him. Chapter 616: 559: Plotting Against Me? Chapter 616: Chapter 559: Plotting Against Me? The three siblings had been in the study room for more than an hour, and aside from getting angry, William Lane felt suffocated. His sisters, however, seemed to be having a leisurely time making a spectacle of it all. Dealing with Olivia Lane was one thing C a bit of intimidation, a few stern words, and she could be managed. But Charlotte Lane she had never been afraid of him from childhood, and even ended up bullying him without resistance. William Lane couldnt deal with both of them, and left the study room with frustration. Descending the stairs, he saw Kevin rk sitting leisurely downstairs, sipping tea and listening to music, which made him even angrier. Kevin rk, noticing himing down with a dark face, raised an eyebrow and amusinglymented, The situation seems dire. William Lane stood at the top of the stairs, not wanting to say anything to Kevin rk, let alone entertain his mockery. Kevin rk, enjoying the spectacle, asked him, What has gotten you so riled up? Ask your nephew.William Lane replied. Kevin rk raised his eyebrows again, a smile ying on his face. William Lane narrowed his eyes at him, Kevin rk, you knew about this, didnt you?
Kevin rk simply took a sip of his tea. William Lane paced around the staircase, clearly agitated. Is your family trying to take over ours? You must have conspired in this. Damn it, Im so pissed off. You may not have known about L Campbells identity at the beginning, and I can reluctantly understand that. But Hugo rk He knew everything about Amelie Quentin, and still had the guts to pursue her. Whats the difference between a brothers sister and his own sister? How could he bring himself to make a move? What is there to be angry about? Kevin rk replied calmly, Hugo is outstanding. Can you find someone better than him? William Lane was left speechless. After a while, he pulled out his cell phone and called Hugo rk, Where are you? Kevin rk could not hear the phone conversation, but he could tell whom William was calling. Whatever was said on the other end of the call prompted William to say, Meet me at the entrance of Dark Street. William owned a boxing ring in Dark Street. Only the few of them knew about this C even the Lane Family was unaware. After he ended the call, he began to walk out. Kevin rk watched him leave, then put down his teacup and texted Charlotte Lane notifying her that he was leaving and immediately followed him out. Hugo rk was in for a beating he wouldnt be able to evade. But he couldnt just watch his nephew get beaten up either. No one knew what happened at the boxing ring. By the time Olivia Lane realized they couldnt find William, Charlotte Lane had managed to keep her by her side for almost three hours. Olivia Lane could not reach Hugo rk through his phone and asked Charlotte Lane to help locate him. Charlotte Lane, without even lifting a finger, revealed Hugo rks location. He was at a certain clubhouse. Why is he there? Olivia Lane was confused. Charlotte Lane looked at her and said, They were boxing for two hours. I guess they went drinking afterward.
Tears welled up in Olivia Lanes eyes upon hearing this. She cried, Sister, you did this on purpose. Yes, Charlotte Lane admitted, Once you show up, our brother wont bear to see you upset and will stop fighting, thus his anger wont bepletely vented. Its better to let him deal with it all at once and get it over with. Sister, Olivia Lane softly called out to her. Yes, Charlotte Lane calmly responded, I was a bit upset when I saw him kissing you too.
Olivia Lane held her lips tightly, her eyes reddening, and remained silent. L Campbell asked, You were so afraid of him before, howe you suddenly started liking him? I dont know, it just happened. Olivia Lane replied, Sister. Hes really nice. Im serious. I know, Charlotte Lane said, If you like him, nobody will prevent you from pursuing him. As for our brother he is just having a hard time epting it at the moment. After all, its a little hard for a man to ept that his brother is in love with his sister twice. He just needs to let off some steam. Will Hugo rk get hurt? Olivia Lane asked. No, Charlotte Lane, seeing her sad face, couldnt bear it, she stood up and said, Come on, lets go catch them. At the clubhouse, Charlotte Lane and Olivia Lane suddenly barged in. The door opened, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol. In addition to Kevin rk, William Lane, Hugo rk, there was also Allonzo Hobson. The four men seemed to be fine, though how lucid they truly were remained to be seen. William Lane appeared unscathed, except for a few scrapes on the back of his hand. As for Hugo rk, he was sporting a shiner. His cheekbone and side of his mouth were bruised. It was unclear if there were injuries elsewhere.
Little girl, what brings you here? Kevin rk rose from his seat, walking over to Charlotte Lane. Youre still able to stand, Charlotte Lane noted. I didnt drink much, Kevin rk stated. Charlotte Lane examined him; it was hard to tell exactly how much he had drunk. Answering his earlier question, she stated, I came to look for beauties. You could say Im checking on you. Kevin rk chuckled, Impossible. Charlotte Lane promptly retorted, Then, let me put it this way. I fear some unweedpany may tarnish your innocence, so Im here to protect you. Allonzo Hobson couldnt hold back hisughter at her remark. Kevin rk smiled and ruffled her hair. Olivia Lane saw Hugo rks appearance and unconsciously walked toward him. However, after taking two steps, she heard William Lane clicking his tongue. She immediately stopped in her tracks. Charlotte Lane approached Olivia Lane, affectionately wrapped her arm around Olivias neck and brought her over to Hugo. She then turned to William Lane, I saw someone familiar when I came in. He seems to be working here. Isnt it a bit unsafe at this time in the evening? William Lane frowned slightly. He knew who Charlotte was referring to, but he sat there without moving, sounding a bit irritated: Leave her be.
Charlotte Lane smirked, Lets go then. Ill take you all home. Charlotte Lane had driven here herself and had arranged for a chauffeur from home to bring an additional car. She nned on driving them all back to the Lane residence. Just when all of them reached the parking lot, William Lane turned back abruptly. Everyone was stunned as they watched his retreating figure. What is William up to? He seems to be in quite a rush. Allonzo Hobson wondered. Who suggesteding here in the first ce? Charlotte Lane asked. William. Kevin rk answered. Charlotte Laneughed a bit, Lets go then. After reaching home, Charlotte Lane had them all drink hangover soup before allowing them to go upstairs. As for her she was waiting in Olivia Lanes room for her to return from Hugo rks room. Sis, what are you worried about? Olivia Lane asked on returning and seeing her sister waiting in her room. Were at our own home. Hes drunk. Charlotte Lane replied.
Hes old-fashioned. There wont be any issues. Olivia Lane assured. Charlotte Lane chuckled, the rk family did indeed have strict discipline. Especially when it came to boys and how they treated girls. But, what if he did try to force himself on me, Sis? What would you do? Olivia Lane asked, clinging to her arm. I wouldnt do anything. Charlotte Lane said tonelessly, Ill just use the roses he gave me for fertilizer. Olivia Lane leaned her head on Charlotte Lanes shoulder, clinging to her arm as she began tough. When Charlotte Lane returned to her room, Kevin rk had already finished his shower. He was sitting beside the bed, reading the messages on his phone. Hearing her footsteps, Kevin rk looked up at her. Charlotte Lane surveyed the room before replying to him, Where are the kids? Uncle Lane and Aunt Lane took them to their room. Kevin rk extended his hand towards her. Charlotte Lane stopped a meter away from him, When did they take them? About ten minutes ago. Kevin rks eyes, tinged with red from the wine, glimmered with a subtle hint of mischievousness, making him seem alluring. Kevin rk. Charlotte Lane scrutinized him, her voice catching slightly, You dont look like a good person right now. The smile in Kevin rks eyes deepened. He reached out to grab Charlotte Lanes hand, pulling her towards him. Holding her waist, he had her sit on hisp, Dont you miss me? Just a reminder, were at my house. Mm, I know. Kevin rk gently kissed her, This is the ce where you grew up. Charlotte Lane stared at him. Doesnt that make it even more meaningful? Charlotte Lane: How could it be meaningful? How could it possibly be meaningful? Looking at her uprehending expression, Kevin rk said gently, The rooms are soundproof, my dear, so dont be shy. Charlotte Lane chuckled, shaking Kevin rks chin and saying, Just dont chicken out, Third Master. Kevin rkughed, then spun her around and pinned her to the bed. Charlotte Lane held down his shoulders: I havent taken a shower yet. We could take er A thinyer of sweat had developed on Charlotte Lanes body. Kissed until her body went limp, her head throbbing and her eyes teeming slightly, all of her senses at this moment were about Kevin rk. Amid the blurriness, Kevin rk suddenly got up, and her ears caught the sound of stic crinkling. Her consciousness cleared a bit. She nced over at the bedside table, and noticed a package that had been opened, causing her forehead to twitch. When did he buy it? He came prepared. Taking her for a medical check-up, moving the children away, even buying that thing What are you thinking about? Kevin rk enquired breathlessly. I was thinking about how you had nned this all. Charlotte Lanes voice was hoarse. Kevin rk chuckled, kissing her forehead, eyshes, eyes, and the tip of her nose: How can this be considered scheming? Compared to my dear wife drugging me, this is nothing. Bringing up the past. Charlotte Lanes voice was cold, but the tearyyer in her beautiful phoenix eyes weakened her intimidating look. Yes. Kevin rk kissed her lips. Chapter 617: 560: The Big Wedding Chapter 617: Chapter 560: The Big Wedding The soundproofing in the Lane Familys home was indeed very good, but it couldnt withstand Kevin rks relentless torment after holding in for so long. Charlotte Lane had no idea when she finally fell asleep. She only vaguely remembered the light seeping through the curtains. Her eyes were unfocused, like a t boat floating on the sea, constantly sinking and rising, continuously drowning, yet continuously reliant on the sensation of drowning. Dont cry. Kevin rks voice was cloyingly gentle,den with infinite desire as he kissed her ear, whispering softly, Itll be over soon. Charlotte Lane vaguely remembered being carried to the restroom. But she had no idea when she came out. An entire night of sporadic exhration left her drained of sensory responsiveness and alertness. By the time she regained consciousness, lunchtime had passed. Charlotte Lane reached for the clock by the bed and gazed at it, then despairingly hurled it onto the carpet. What good was soundproofing if she couldnt get out of bed?
She was still thoroughly embarrassed. The others had been drinking and had an excuse to wake upte. What about her? Indeed, only her world of embarrassment was achieved. Charlotte Lanes body felt achy and sore, even lifting her arm hurt. Back when she trained on the M Continent, she might not have ever felt this awful. She thought about it, it was indeed worse on the M Continent. Since she was alreadyte and the damage had been done, Charlotte Lane decided to stay in bed and check her phone messages. Hill Dawson, Anisa Cooper, Gentry Morris and numerous others from the Hope crew had texted her. Charlotte Lane opened the message sent by Hill Dawson, scrolling upwards to the important news. Hope had been nominated for the Golden Queen Award. Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Cinematography. Hill Dawson told her a few days ago that they expected the nomination results today. The award ceremony is on the 22nd of next month, more than a month from now. The two most prestigious movie awards domestically are currently the Golden Queen Award and the Golden Tiger Award. The Golden Queen Award was named from the word Queen of Best Actress. As for why the word Emperor from Best Actor was not taken, or simply the word Movie, there are many theories. There are both scientific and metaphysical exnations. The Golden Tiger Award was named that way because it was established in the Year of the Tiger. These are the two most credible awards domestically, with fair evaluations that always satisfy people.
Charlotte Lane, as a screenwriter, has won both these awards. Not only these two, she has won all major and minor awards domestically. She has been nominated again as a screenwriter this time. But being nominated for Best Actress is a first for her as an actor. Even though the movie made groundbreaking box office record.
However, this oue was somewhat unexpected, yet somehow not surprising. Charlotte Lane was a little distracted reading the message sent by Hill Dawson, only returning to her senses at the sound of the bedroom door opening and footsteps approaching. Kevin rk came in, seeing that she was awake, he first smiled: Congrattions. Youve been nominated for Best Actress. Kevin rk came up to her and kissed her. The award hasnt been won yet. Charlotte pushed his face away, Go away, dont kiss me. Kevin rk held her hand, gently squeezing it: Are you still angry? Didnt I took good care of youst night? Charlotte Lane gave him a look, ignoring him. Kevin rk touched the ring on her ring finger: Next time, I will lie down, and Madam can do whatever she wants. Wantingfort without putting in effort. Charlotte Lane shook her chin she was resting on her palm, Third Master, thats not how you get a bargain. Kevin rkughed pretending to pout. After a while, he suddenly said, We should get a new ring. Hmm? Lets get a prettier one. Okay. Charlotte Lane said, Our Third Master is rich.
Charlotte Lane kept a close eye on the Golden Queen Award after the nominations were announced. But remarkably, on the award day, the day the winner of Best Leading Actress was about to be announced, Charlotte Lane could not leave theboratory at the research institute. She and Kevin rk had not returned home for a week, constantly in theb, they spent the nights at the institutes dormitory. But no matter how much they rushed, they couldnt get out that night. The duo, engrossed in their experiment, were out of touch with the outside world. It was only after they had worked through the night, when they left theboratory in the early morning the next day, that they had time to look up the news online. At the 56th Golden Queen Awards, Gentry Morris won Best Director, George Dunn won Best Actor, Flynn Ninevara won Best Screenwriter. Daisy Zane won Best Leading Actress. After the nominations were announced, they had asked Charlotte Lane if she wanted to change her name to Charlotte Lane. Chapter 618: 560: The Big Wedding_2 Chapter 618: Chapter 560: The Big Wedding_2 Charlotte Lane wouldnt change her mind. The screenwriter award for Flynn Ninevara was collected on Catherines behalf by Morris. George Dunn collected Daisy Zanes Best Actress award on her behalf. Both exined that she was unable to leave theboratory. Everyone expressed their understanding. Charlotte Lane stood motionless at the entrance of theboratory for a long time when she saw the news online. She stared at the name Daisy Zane on the trophy, unable toe to her senses for a long time. The name Daisy Zane finally appeared in the Best Actress lineup. Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zane appeared together in the same movie and both won awards. Little girl, Kevin rk gently touched her face. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk and regained her senses: Shouldnt I have dropped everything and gone to the awards ceremonyst night? Kevin rk touched her reddened eyes: Last night, Lady Zane went.
Charlotte Lane looked at him andughed after a moment. Kevin rk always knew how tofort her precisely. Not appearing in person at the awards ceremony became Charlotte Lanes regret. Once she was less busy at the Research Institute, Charlotte Lane nned to write a new script and participate in another award show during her free time. In November, Hope was nominated for the Golden Tiger Award again. When Charlotte Lane received the news, she was thinking of a name for her female lead character, and then she named her character Jin Yin (Golden Tiger). On December 29th, Charlotte Lane attended the awards ceremony. Kevin rk apanied her and even went directly to the venue, sitting next to Charlotte Lane. The two rarely appeared together at an event in front of the cameras. The entire ceremony was live-streamed, and the cameras kept focusing on the two of them. At first, the broadcast respected the couples high status and restrained. Later, the two didnt say anything or show any signs of disgust, so the cameras were much bolder. In the entertainment industry, beauty is never in short supply. But that night, the couple stole the spotlight. Charlotte Lane wore an ice-blue long dress, exuding a cold, dust-free, otherworldly aura. Kevin rk wore a ck suit, designed by Shopie. It was noble, elegant, and devilishly charming. As the couple sat there, one pure and one enchanting, the term wealthy nobles was fully embodied in them. The entire event paled inparison, and all eyes were inevitably drawn to them. Every time an award was presented, the two politely pped together. With each sh of the camera and light, the rings on their unnamed fingers shone brightly.
It was time for the Best Leading Actress award. Sitting next to them, Gentry Morris was somewhat nervous. He subconsciously looked at Charlotte Lane. But Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk seemed as if they were just enjoying the event that night, and their faces were calm. There was no difference when other awards were presented. There were five actresses nominated for Best Leading Actress in total.
Every movie was excellent, and thepetition was fierce. The announcement began on stage, the voice echoing throughout the conference hall: The 39th Golden Tiger Award for Best Actress goes to Daisy Zane C Hope. Congrattions. The moment the announcers voice ended, apuse erupted from the audience. Hearing the name in person at the scene was a more powerful experience than reading the results online. Charlotte Lane felt a sour swelling in her heart. She pinched her fingertips and turned her head to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rks eyes were filled with tenderughter as he looked at her. It quickly soothed Charlotte Lanes emotions. She stood up, turned around, and bowed slightly. Kevin rk, Morris, and George Dunn all stood up. As Charlotte Lane looked at them, Gentry Morris opened his arms as if to hug her. However, the instant his arms opened, Kevin rks gaze, filled withughter as he watched Charlotte Lane, suddenly floated over. The tenderughter instantly turned into a cold, sharp de. Feeling his life was threatened, Gentry Morris quickly dropped his hands andughed awkwardly. Those present who knew what had happened burst intoughter.
Not just the people at the scene, but even theizens watching the live stream couldnt helpughing. [Third Masters gaze is oppressive.] [Third Master: Morris, you old fellow, you dont want your hands.] [Holy cow! Third Masters change of expression, Ive been killed through the screen.] Charlotte Lane knew what had happened just by the speed at which Morris dropped his hand. She turned around to look at Kevin rk. Kevin rk was still smiling tenderly at her. George Dunn alsoughed at this double standard of changing expressions. Morris: Charlotte Laneforted her brother and patted Morriss arm. She then nced at Kevin rk and went on stage to ept the award. Chapter 619: 560: The Grand Wedding_3 Chapter 619: Chapter 560: The Grand Wedding_3 Standing on the award ceremony stage and epting the trophy, she looked at the whole conference hall and paused briefly, saying: First of all, of course, I want to thank everyone. Thank you all for your love and support. Apuse erupted from the audience below as Kevin rk sat and watched his little girl on stage. The camera deliberately captured him. Also, Id like to take this opportunity to rify something for everyone. Its regarding the issue that Charlotte Lane is not Daisy Zane. Due to the echo in the conference hall, Charlotte paused for a moment. During that pause, Kevin noticed a white butterfly that had flown onto the stage, circled around Charlotte, andnded on the trophy in her hand. Im indeed not her, but were inseparable forever. Daisys dream was to stand here. Charlottes gaze fell on the butterfly, and her hand gripping the trophy involuntarily tightened. Swallowing her emotions, she continued, Today, Ive brought her here with me. Both the audience at the venue and those watching the live stream listened to her speak in silence. In the future well go even further together. Charlotte looked into the camera, then addressed a question that had been on everyones mind, Charlotte Lane has never entered the entertainment industry, just as Daisy Zane will never leave it. Lets all look forward to better works from Flynn Ninevara and Lady Zane. Thank you, everyone. Having said that, she bowed deeply to the audience below. As she bent down, the butterfly circled her once more. Charlotte straightened up and walked off the stage in the direction the butterfly flew away.
Kevin also went in that direction. Getting off the stage from the side, Charlotte was about to head backstage when she saw Kevin waiting for her. She walked straight to him and leaned into his embrace. Kevin immediately hugged her tightly, kissed the top of her head, and whispered softly, Congrattions, Madam. Charlotte buried her face in his shoulder, momentarily at a loss for words. Kevin embraced her, stroking her head. He looked up to see a cameraman following them, and turned to shield Charlotte in his arms. Immediately, the live chat exploded in discussion: [Oh, Third Master is not giving us a glimpse.] [Third Masters possessiveness is so strong. Were all so close, I call him uncle on Facebook every day, but he wont even let us have a peek.] [My Third Master is so deeply in love. Every nce he casts upon his wife seems to be saying I love her.] [Another day held up by Third Masters love.] [So Daisy Zane is gone now, huh?] [No, she isnt gone. Sister Flynn will carry her name with her.] [Am I the only one who finds this moving? Sister Flynn returned under Daisy Zanes identity, cleared her reputation as an illegitimate child, helped her mother take revenge, and became the Best Actress under her name.] [You guys, do you think Sister Flynns identity as a screenwriter might have been because of Daisy Zane?] [The butterfly on stage just now, Im crying] [As formidable as our Sister Flynn, I always feel that she has a strong sense of story, as if shes experienced something big.] [What sisterly love! Suddenly makes me want to set Third Master aside for a bit.] [To the sister above, be careful tonight. Dont sleep too deeply, or Third Master might assassinate you in your sleep.] Two days after the award ceremony, the Research Institute announced the record of Victoria Zane.
And conferred upon Victoria Zane and her husband the Institutes Medal. Moreover, this was something Dean Yue had already arranged before his death, only waiting for an opportune time to announce it. Upon the announcement,izens were dumbfounded. [Isnt that Daisy Zanes grandmother??????]
[So the grandmother went into hiding in Cold Green Vige so that her invention wouldnt be used for human experimentation?] [So, the current 319 is emting the past. So before any of us were born, the couple protected our grandparents.] [Does that mean if the couple hadnt left with the elixir and blown up theboratory then, perhaps none of us would exist?] [How excellent of a daughter could the grandmother have raised? She was the only one in Cold Green Vige to have been epted into Truro University at the time. How could Johanes Miles have been worthy?] [Hes not just unworthy; hes also unappreciative. What was grandmothers status? What was her status in that era? What could the Miles and Hobson families even be considered to be?] [So when Sister Flynn was on that variety show, she was using Daisy Zanes identity to acknowledge that grandma taught her a lot of knowledge.] [How could a child raised by the grandmother be bad? She just didnt go to school, but she learned just as much, if not more than what we know.] Chapter 620: 560: The Big Wedding_4 Chapter 620: Chapter 560: The Big Wedding_4 [Sodo you think Grandma and Daisy eventually left because of the elixir?] [Its very likely, Brook Sister has been studying 319 from the very beginning and has been very persistent about it.] While discussing online, Charlotte Lane, Kevin rk, William Lane, Hugo rk, Olivia Lane, Allonzo Hobson, Robinson Scott, Turner Daniel, Siera Santiago, and Charles Amos. Everyone went to Cold Green Vige together. Originally, Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk nned to take advantage of the New Years holiday to visit Cold Green Vige when they were a bit more free. But when they told the others, they all suddenly came on the day of departure. William Lane said if they were going, they might as well all go together. So, everyone went to Cold Green Vige together. They were excited on the way there, but once they arrived and saw the poverty of Cold Green Vige, they were all a bit dumbfounded. They had never encountered such poverty before in their lives.
Sister, how long did you live here? They were climbing the mountain, and Olivia Lane asked. Not too long, Charlotte Lane said, but Ie back every year. At that time, Daisy Zane was her only ray of light, she desperately wanted to hold onto it, but in the end, it was gone. So she suddenly closed herself off. At that time, her heart was filled with hatred, and all she wanted was revenge. Once she had her revenge she would go with them. She used every means at her disposal, including taking advantage of Kevin rks proximity to her. But Kevin rk pulled her back from that path and put her back on the right track. The group stayed at the living quarters for a while on the mountain and then went directly up the mountain. Charlotte Lane still brought two bottles of wine, two bunches of white orchid flowers, and two trophies. This year, there were weeds growing on the mountain again, as soon as they arrived on the mountain, Kevin rk directed everyone to remove the weeds. Charlotte Lane led Charles Amos by the hand to the front of the tomb, Pull the weeds here. Im still young, Charles Amos protested while pulling weeds. This is the job for a child, Charlotte Lane said. Charles Amos: Olivia Lane watched her sister bully the child. Charles Amos quickly cleared the area in front of the tomb. While the others were still cleaning up the surroundings, Charlotte Lane knelt down in front of the tomb, cing the wine, flowers, and trophies in front of it. The tombstone was still empty. Charlotte Lane nned to carve Daisy Zanes name on it this time she came back. She looked at it for a while and said, Flynn Ninevara and Daisy Zanes names finally appeared on an award together, and our promise is fulfilled. I brought the trophy.
After a moment of silence, Charlotte Lane continued, The revenge has been taken. The process was a bitplicated, but the result was good. Aunt Victoria Zanes revenge was also taken. Originally, I intended to leave a way out for the Miles Family for your sake, butter on, I felt there was no need to keep them. Charlotte Lane then talked about their experiences over the past two years, mentioning things as they came to mind and talking about her return to the Lane Family. She also introduced William Lane, Olivia Lane, Charles Amos, and the others who came with them today. After she finished speaking, Charlotte Lane talked to Victoria Zane for a while more.
She told her about the Drunken Life Grass, 319, and the Rebirth project. Afterward, Turner Daniel and Siera Santiago bowed to Victoria Zanes tomb. Dean Yue asked the two of them toe and pay their respects to Victoria Zane before he left, so they both came along today. After the two of them finished paying their respects, everyone else bowed together as well. If it hadnt been for Victoria Zane and her husband blowing up the Laboratory in the past and her providing the data, Who knows when the research and production of the Rebirth elixir would have beenpleted. And when those persecuted by 319 would have been able to escape the torment and live normal lives. And who knows how many people would have died back then. So, Victoria Zane deserved this bow. Aftering down from the mountain, the weeds in their living quarters were cleaned again. Charlotte Lane ced the trophies in the cab in the room. After the cleanup, everyone chatted for a while and then left, leaving only Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane behind. With so many people, it was not only overwhelming but there was also no room for them to stay.
So they all left before it got dark. Its so quiet now, Kevin rk said. Third Master, youre going too far. You have people clean up the courtyard for you and then youin theyre noisy, Charlotte Lane said. Its not noisy, its morous, Kevin rk replied. Charlotte Lane touched the grown-up white orchid tree, At this rate, in a few years, we can sit in its shade. Yes, Kevin rk agreed, We can have the house expanded, and by then, bring Casey Cannon, Bryce Cannon, and Isabe Lane toe over. Chapter 621: 560: The Grand Wedding_5 Chapter 621: Chapter 560: The Grand Wedding_5 Charlotte Lane smiled and said, Good. She looked forward to the future, a future with Kevin rk, their children, and friends and family. ** It was July the following year. The lotus blossoms in the rk Manor were in full bloom, pure and endless. Meanwhile, the roses in the rose field were also stunningly gorgeous. It was the season when all kinds of flowers were in full splendor. On the early morning of July 20, before many people had gotten up, a topic about what happened in the Imperial Capital soared to the hot search list. What was going on? Last night everything had seemed normal, but now, stepping outside, the streets were adorned with festive decorations in a sea of red. The entire Imperial Capital was draped in red silk, red happiness characters, and rednterns.
Everywhere you looked, there was a feeling of great joy. Even all the advertisement spaces in shopping malls and skyscrapers had removed their original ads and reced them with the double happiness (֡) character. [Whose wedding has taken over the entire Imperial Capital? Holy cow! This is the Imperial Capital, where an inch ofnd is worth its weight in gold! Not just some vige! Wont they go bankrupt?] [Who could be that extravagant? Do you know how much it costs to upy those advertising spaces in a building? Someone did it! They took them all. The key ishe just put up a single happiness character.] [A friend told me that the red silk decorations even reached the suburbs.] [But yesterday evening before I went to bed, there was nothing. This speed, not to mention the money, how many people must have been involved!] [I worked the night shift yesterday, and when I got off at 1 am, I saw the streets were being decorated with rednterns. I simply thought someone in the neighborhood was getting married and had prepared the route for the procession I didnt expect] [I also assumed someone in our residential estate was getting married. Decorating during thete night.] [Look at the pictures! The main road! The greenery on both sides of the road is covered with roses! All! Roses!] [Wow! There are so many flowers! So many! All the roses in the country must have been brought here.] [Im getting more and more curious about which big shot is getting married.] [My familys shop is located next to the main road. Our storefront has been requisitioned for today and even gave us arge sum of money. Howeverwe still dont know whos getting married. Honestly, I feel uneasy epting this money.] [Remembering that someone so extravagantI can think of one person.] [I wont say more. Im going to head to our uncles Facebook page for more information.] Meanwhile, at the Lane Family Estate. Anisa Cooper rushed from the entrance of the house to Charlottes room on the second floor, hurriedly locking the door, panting and eximing, Theyre here! The marriage party has arrived! Logan slowly tucked the high heels into an opaque balloon and inted it with an air pump. Afterward, he ced it among a pile of red balloons, making it indistinguishable from the others. Robinson Scott tore open a pillow from the sofa and hid another shoe inside. Then, he zipped it closed and tossed it onto the sofa nonchntly.
As for Charlotte Laneshe was wearing a red dragon and phoenix gown and styled her hair like a beautiful bride, casually sitting cross-legged on the bed while eating a bowl of porridge. The tassels on her golden phoenix hairpins swung gently with her movements as she ate. Brook Sister, why are you still eating? Anisa buzzed around Charlotte, Third Master and his party are here! Charlotte had finished her makeup except for her lipstick since she was eating, No need to rush. My brother and his buddies are still stalling them on the first floor.
Wheres the lipstick? Hill Dawson looked for the lipstick. Olivia Lane helped out. Serena Buster helped her adjust the hem of the skirt while Ste Edwards stood by the door asking, Should we block it somehow? Are they going to kick the door down? Its fine, Logan said, As long as Big Boss is there, they wont dare. As soon as his voice trailed off, noisy voices could be heard from outside. Upon hearing that sound Everyone except for Charlotte rushed to the balcony to look down. Kevin rk, dressed in a matching red dragon and phoenix gown, walked at the front. Behind him were dozens of men also dressed in red robes. Following Kevin were Hugo rk and Xavier Dominic, then Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon, and finally, the seven gossiping friends, excluding Alfie Ward. Captain Mason and the 12th Hall Master were even further back in line. Aside from Kevin rk at the front, the men behind himseemed like a group of monkeys in the mountains. Jumping and hopping about, they waved something in their hands and yelled loudly.
Even Hugo rk joined in the spectacle, waving his hand half-heartedly. This looks like arge-scale disy of human atavism, Robinson Scott remarked sarcastically. This is the first time Ive seen Kevin rk not object to this, Siera Santiagomented. Damian Brown said, Men will be boys until they die; this is indeed true. Chapter 622: 560: The Big Wedding_6 Chapter 622: Chapter 560: The Big Wedding_6 Charlotte Lane listened to the noise outside, smiled, and continued eating her porridge. First floor. People like William Lane, Gael Easton, James Collins, Logan, Holt Lawrence, and Joseph Allen were blocking people at the first floor as the first line of defense. William Lane even stood at the entrance with a red-flowered axe in hand. It was said that to symbolize the arrival of blessings, the drive away evil spirits, and to bring sess, everything auspicious. The first floor waspletely prepared, buying time for those on the second floor. But what they didnt expect was that the moment Kevin rk appeared at the entrance, Hugo rk and Allonzo Hobson led a group of people storming in. They barged in directly making a huge fuss as if they were holding a grand event of some sort. Holy crap! Kevin rk! Youre doing this trick! Youre not ying fair! William Lane said. What responded to him was the shouts of the primitive human crowd.
Thomas Firway and Juan Wright were throwing golden beans everywhere. The two sides were intertwined. Kevin rks crew clung to the door blockers and began to bounce. In the end, those responsible for blocking the door gave up struggling and actively jumped along with them. Such a joyous asion. Theyre here! Theyre here! Theyre here! Anisa Cooper reported from the entrance, Young Master Lane didnt stop him, the people downstairs have defected. Third Masters alreadying up! Hesing up! Charlotte Lane almost choked and immediately put down her bowl, and Hill Dawson quickly made her up with lipstick. Fan, fan. Ste Edwards handed her a fan. When Kevin rk and his group reached the second floor, they suddenly became gentlemanly, putting away their wild primal acts. The door was knocked. Logan stood at the door to speak but found the door lock was pried open from the outside. All the people in the house: ???????. What are you doing! What are you doing! The people inside the room started yelling. Logan immediately put his hand on the door that was opening a crack, but the door outside was forcing it to stay open; this crack didnt close up. When Logan was about to apply force, things started to be stuffed into the gap from the outside. Red velvet bags, from the gap one bag, two bags a total of thirty bags was stuffed in. Anisa Cooper stood at the entrance and took a look. Inside were full of golden beans, and they were all solid. Is it enough to open the door? Allonzo Hobson cautiously asked. Logan: The room became silent. And in just a moment, Allonzo Hobson and Hugo rk pushed the door and entered.
Then a bunch of people outside began to yell again, rushed into the room like bandits, and started looking for shoes. This is a vition of the rules, you must pass the game before you take our Brother Nine. Robinson Scott directly grabbed the cor of Allonzo Hobsons neck, this doesnt count.. Theres still something that doesnt count. Allonzo Hobson sped her hand, Ive already given the red envelope for entrance. No, you have to win at chess with my Brother Nine. Robinson Scott said.
The other games are now obsolete, leaving only this one still avable. Kevin, winning against Brook Sister is up to you, brothers can only help you so far. Allonzo Hobson said, Fight for your own happiness. In the meantime, Amelie Quentin had brought the Go board over. Kevin rk stood at the entrance of the bedchamber looking at Charlotte Lane. No noise entered his ears from the hustle and bustle around him. In his eyes, there was only Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane asionally puts on makeup in her free time, but she has never worn red lipstick before. She was stunningly beautiful, rendering people unable to shift their gaze away. Kevin rk thought that Charlotte Lane was both a cold lotus and a dazzling rose. Seeing him staring at her, Charlotte Lane smiled and said, Third Master is exceptionally handsome today. Kevin rks brows and eyes softened into a smile. After getting close, he first bent down to kiss Charlotte Lanes lips: Madam, youre exceptionally beautiful every day. Anisa Cooper and others who had been watching were all staring wide-eyed. Ahem. Third Uncle. Lets y chess, y chess. Amelie Quentin reminded. Charlotte Laneughed and reached out to wipe the lipstick off his lips.
The two of them were ying Go while the side was bustling. Finding shoes, creating chaos,ughing and joking. Soon the entire Go board was filled up, but no winner was decided yet, and the shoes still havent been found. Kevin rk knelt on one knee on the ground and looked up at Charlotte Lane in a pitiable manner: Madam. No cheating! Logan said from the side. No beauty pageants! Siera Santiago said. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Damian Brown said, Big Boss is for this trick. Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk,ughed after a short while, and made her move. Kevin rk looked at the chessboard, also gave a smile, and ced the ck piece, forming a line with five pieces. Those on the side began to cheer. Meanwhile, those looking for shoes began a carpet search. Thomas Firway and Juan Wright were looking for shoes while stuffing golden beans into their arms. Chapter 623: 560: The Grand Wedding_7 Chapter 623: Chapter 560: The Grand Wedding_7 Finally, they gave in and told the location of the shoes. Hurry up, Arthur. Allonzo Hobson quickly handed her the shoes. They left the room and respectfully served tea to Old Master Lane, the Andrew couple, and Aunt Cruz. William Lane carried Charlotte Lane out of the Lane family home. Brother, Charlotte suddenly spoke on Williams back, so thats why you never carried me when we were young. Mm, Williams eyes rimmed red, thinking that one day I would carry you out for your wedding, I didnt want to carry you at all. Charlotte smiled: Fortunately its not far away. I can oftene back and see you frequently. Why do I feel like youreplimenting Harton rk? William said, Are you saying that you married well? Ah, you found out, Charlotteughed, Didnt I marry well? Yes, William nodded, Im very satisfied with it. Our L will always be happy.
The wedding was held at rk Manor. So after leaving the Lane family home, they followed the nned route and circled half of Imperial Capital. The atmosphere was festive everywhere they went, with an entourage of flowers, and luxury cars escorting them. The procession of cars seemed endless. From the entrance of rk Manor to the wedding venue, the roads on either side were adorned with lotuses and roses. Friends and rtives filled the seats on either side of the red carpet. Some seats were purposely left empty. After arriving at rk Manor, Charlotte changed into a Phoenix Crown and was escorted into the venue by her father, Andrew Lane. Andrew Lane held his daughters hand, and step by step handed her hand to Harton rk. Harton, I entrust my daughter to you, Andrew patted their hands and said, From now on, you will be bound as husband and wife, love and respect each other, care for each other, and walk hand in hand. Dad, dont worry, Harton held Charlottes hand and said, Ill always love her, protect her, and respect her. Due to George Dunns good spoken lines and pleasant voice, he was chosen as the wedding host. Under his guidance, Harton and Charlotte paid homage to Heaven and Earth, their parents, and each other. Then, the couple exchanged rings. Charlotte had always thought that when Harton mentioned exchanging a new ring, it was just that C simply exchanging rings. She never expected a grand wedding ceremony. Madam, happy wedding. said Harton. Charlotte raised her eyebrows. Since the wedding is being held today, it can be considered a new marriage, right? Brother Arthur, happy wedding.
Evening Charlotte returned to her room before Harton did. Seizing the rare opportunity, Allonzo Hobson and the others were still teasing Harton. The rooms in the North Court were all decorated.
Looking down from the bedroom balcony, the entire courtyard was filled with roses and lotuses. The two distinct styles interweaved, contrasted, and enhanced each other. At their purest, most stunning, and most beautiful extremes. Charlotte stood in the room for a while, then turned and went downstairs to the courtyard. Harton had drunk quite a lot of wine but was still sober; only the corners of his eyes were red. He was eager to return to the room, but when he reached the courtyard and saw Charlotte dancing among the flowers, he stopped in his tracks. Charlotte twirled among the blossoms, her eyes sparkling withughter. Light on her feet, she slowly raised her hands above her head and spun. She hadnt yet removed her Phoenix Crown, and its tassels swayed gently with her movements. She had taken off the long cloak over her wedding dress, revealing the lighter garments beneath, which fluttered in the night breeze. The red wedding dress made Charlotte even more stunning and breathtaking. Harton watched her for a moment before slowly approaching. Seeing Harton approach, Charlotte stopped spinning, and her hands fell by her side. At the moment her hands dropped, Harton reached out and caught them.
Charlotte stopped, her eyes infused withughter as she looked at him. Harton gazed at her for a while before kneeling on one knee and reverently kissing her hand Amidst the soft night breeze, the clear moonlight, blooming lotuses, and enchanting roses Surrounded by the swirling flowers, he kissed his entire world. He vowed to hold her hand, journeying together toward their twilight years. C The End C September 4th, 2022 Full Moon Flower Festival Chapter 624: Extra Episode 1 Chapter 624: Extra Episode 1 [Gossiping about the wedding guests.] On the day after the big wedding, the hot search was still hanging online. And somehow a photo leaked out. It was a photo of the guest seats, showing two tables of guests, all very clear. [Lets start with thedy on the left side of the table, the first one in the photo with a somewhat exotic appearance. She is said to be a former youngdy of Sutton Family in Imperial Capital. Nowits not clear exactly what she does. But friends from D Continent sayshes quite influential there.] [Next up is this Western-looking woman, the one with the slicked-back hairstyle, who looks like a real big shot. Shes the M Continent Chamber of Commerce Chairman. With countless wealth, she can be described as a walking stack of money.] [This man with dyed pink hair turned grey now this one, this one branded clothes, luxury watches, limited edition cars. ording to insiders, he was spotted three times, driving different cars every time, but with no identifiable background. The more mysterious, the bigger the boss.] [This man with a slightly older age, whos been mosaicked Just think about Dark Street, think hard about Dark Street! No more talk, lest there be trouble.] [And then theres this gentlemanly Western man. From Mountain Sea Continent. Everyone can try to guess his identity, but hes already considered quite high-ranking.] [And then, this one background unknown, but ording to some insiders, he is with another powerful faction in the Mountain Sea Continent.]
[Lastly this man with long hair, no need to analyze. You can search for the Monarch Dynasty of M Continent. But just search quietly, and its best not to make any remarks!] This highly connected blogger made very urate analyses of each guest. Theizens were eagerly watching the drama unfold. [Its true that the friends of big bosses are all big bosses themselves.] [No wonder they are all so extravagant.] [Do I care about their background? I care about how they all look so good. Am I only attracted by money? Well, yes.] [To be fair, that Chairmanis quite the vixen. Just asking quietly, is shecking a girlfriend?] [No offense, I just think that man with long hair looks really handsome.] [I have no intention of marrying into the M Continent royal family, I just want to ask if he has a girlfriend. Since the blogger knows so much, he should be able to answer too.] [Why show me a photo of the guests? I want to see the bride and groom.] [Its such a pity that there are no photos of Third Master and Brook Sister with their godlike appearance.] [Thats right, I want to see photos, I want to see Brook Sisters photos, I want to see Uncles photos!] [Am I the only one concerned about the bloggers identity? No one else managed to take photos of the wedding scene, only he did. And he knows so many details.] Just as everyone was passionately discussing, the entire Weibo post and all the photos that were reposted were deleted. [??????????] [What happened? Wheres my Weibo? Where are my Heavenly Faces? Wheres my God of Wealth?] [I have a scary thing to tell. The photos saved in my phone are gone as well.]
[Aaaahhhhhh, thats creepy.] [It must be the man from Dark Street who did it, after being mosaicked and called old, he got angry.] [Hahahaha. Age is just a number after all, no need to care about it.] [Although it doesnt matter, butwhen other people say so, it bes a different story.]
[Lets whisper, talk softly and privately, and not let him find out.] [No worries, a magnanimous and poised man like him wont bother with us.] [My sister above, youre putting the man from Dark Street in a tough spot. Whether he deletes the post or not, hell be in trouble.] [Poor guy.] At this time in rk Manor, its already past ten oclock, and Charlotte Lane hasnt gotten up yet. Kevin rk hasnt gone out either and is dealing with things on theputer on his rooms balcony. As for Charles Amos he is inseparable from Gael Easton. Why are you always following me? Gael Easton was sitting in the pavilion of rk Lotus Pond Manor. On the left is Ethan rks stroller, and on the right is Noah rks stroller. Charles Amos crossed his arms and looked at him, Im afraid you might steal my little brother and sister. Gael Easton scoffed disdainfully, Do I look like a thief? Charles Amos nodded heavily.
Gael Easton slowly pushed the baby cribs on both sides, Do you really like your little brother and sister? Of course. Then how about this, Gael Easton leaned in a bit closer to him, Ill steal all three of you, and the four of us can live together. Ill give you two cities on the M Continent. Hows that for a deal? Charles Amos stared at him for a while, then turned and called out toward the house, Mom! Uh- Gael Easton quickly grabbed him, pulled him into his arms, and covered his mouth, What are you doing? I was just joking. You dont need to call your mom at every turn. Charles Amos tried to escape his grasp but failed. He could only lean against him, looking up at him with a pair of angry eyes. Gael Easton looked at him, Dont call out, or youll scare your little brother and sister. Charles Amos nodded. Gael Easton let go of him. Then Charles Amos quickly ran away. After running about ten meters, he yelled, Im going to snitch on you! You wait and see how youll be beaten in mixed doubles. Gael Easton: This little brat, this whole family Gael Easton watched Charles Amos run away, then looked down at the two little ones beside him and spoke softly, When you grow up, dont learn from them.
Charles Amos went to snitch, ran to the living room, and asked the housekeeper. He learned that Kevin rk and Charlotte Lane hadnte out of the bedchamber yet. So, he grabbed two bottles of water and returned to the pavilion to find Gael Easton. At half past ten, Holt Lawrence called, and Charlotte Lane finally woke up. She reached for her phone and then pulled the quilt over her head, bringing the phone under the quilt as she answered. Nana, have you seen the news online? What? Charlotte Lane asked. Holt Lawrence heard her voice and was silent for a moment. This Third Master was even better than he had imagined. Last night was their wedding night, and he deliberately waited until half past ten to call today, but Uh, that, um What? Charlotte Lane asked. Kevin rk saw her wake up and came over to pull her quilt down. Charlotte Lane nced at him, covered herself with the quilt again, and turned to face the other side. Kevin rk:
Holt Lawrence said, The wedding scene was photographed yesterday and posted online. Moreover, this person has given a detailed introduction to everyone in the photos. Charlotte Lanes voice was filled with interest: Really? And you couldnt trace it? I managed to, Holt Lawrence said, but the information I found is fake. Im still investigating further. It feels like this person is challenging us. Sounds interesting, Charlotte Lane said. Nana, strangers cant enter the rk Manor, Holt Lawrence said. Could it be one of your rtives or friends? This person could temporarily avoid your investigation, and the photos may not necessarily have been taken from the rk Manor, Charlotte Lane peeled off Kevin rks hand that was touching her head through the quilt. Its possible they were hacked from someones phone. True, Holt Lawrence agreed. But it seems that the other party just wants to challenge us and not offend us. Keep looking into it, and well talk when theres news, Charlotte Lane said. After hanging up, Kevin rks hand reached into the quilt and touched her face, Why are you still angry? Morning grumpiness, Charlotte Lane replied softly. Kevin rkughed, pulling her out of the quilt and tenderly kissing her, Is it morning grumpiness or post-coital grumpiness? Heh, Charlotte Lane gripped Kevin rks cor, her eyes fiery, Let me go sleepless night after night again, and Ill let you experience the danger of sleeping in separate rooms. Kevin rk touched her face and spoke softly, Alright, I wont dare next time. Ill control myself more. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 625: Extra Episode 2 Chapter 625: Extra Episode 2 After resting at home for half of the day after getting married, Charlotte Lane and Harton rk went to the Research Institute. They stayed there for more than a week before finally finding time to return home. In the evening, when the nanny was about to give the two children a bath, Harton rk also followed into the restroom. Charlotte Lane originally wanted to help, but after seeing Charles Amos help, she just stood at the door for a while and then returned to the room. Holt Lawrence sent her the investigation information. Charlotte Lane read the message, thought for a while, grabbed a sticky note from her bedside table, wrote a few words, and then went to the cloakroom to change her clothes. She then put on a bag and left. After Harton rk finished giving the two children their baths and came out, he saw that the bedchamber was empty, except for the sticky note on the bedsidemp. It read: [Going on a mission, at the Doomsday Hotel, be back in two hours, dont worry.] Harton rk: While he was giving the children a bath, his wife left him by herself to y. After arriving at the Doomsday Hotel, Charlotte Lane requested the master control card from the manager and then entered the elevator to go to the desired room.
At the door of the room, she swiped the card directly to enter. The light was still on inside. She closed the door and Charlotte Lane strutted in. She came to the living room, looked around, and then said, Come out. The curtains on the balcony swayed, and soon, a woman rushed towards Charlotte Lane, dagger in hand. Charlotte Lane dodged the dagger with ease and then fought with the woman. Five minutester, the woman was defeated. Charlotte Lane kicked away the dagger from the womans hand, grabbed her wrist, pulled her to her side, pressed her knee against her abdomen, pulled her back, and then kicked her away. The woman knocked over the floormp, rolled on the ground for a few times before stopping, clutching her abdomen, and staring at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte Lane casually adjusted her clothes, then sat on a nearby stool and asked, Had enough? It took the woman a while to speak: Yes, I concede. Charlotte Lane smiled faintly and said, Now, tell me, what do you want by deliberately drawing our attention? Its refreshing to deal with smart people. No need to beat around the bush. The woman propped herself up against the wall and looked at Charlotte Lane. What do you do for a living? Intelligence? Charlotte Lane asked, You know so many people, you must travel between different continents and have dealt with many people. What I said online are their public identities, and it wont affect them at all. The woman said. Or else, do you think you would still have the chance to talk to me now? Charlotte Lane asked slowly, Moreover, do you know their confidential identities? What you said was ambiguous, with quite a lot of guessingponents. Youre truly the eldest daughter of the Lane Family, the woman said. Charlotte Lane didnt want to waste more time on her, so she went straight to the point, Tell me, what do you want? I bought a piece ofnd in the southwest of the Imperial Capital, nning to build a skyscraper.
Charlotte Lane looked at her. The woman said, I want to establish an intelligence organization. One that is not limited to thework, and is more systematic and efficient. The woman thought Charlotte Lane would be interested, but her expression didnt change at all, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. All she knew was that Charlotte Lane hadnt left yet, nor had she made a move, so she continued speaking, What I showed online is my ability. Also Ive trained some people.
Ability? Charlotte Lane questioned. It took Holt Lawrence some time to find me, the woman said, and I even knew who Holt Lawrence was. Its not difficult to know him, he doesnt stay hidden. Charlotte Lane said, Do you want to borrow my power? The woman admitted directly: Yes. Of course, I can develop it by myself. But there will always be a day when conflicts of interest arise between the two parties. I understand the saying that its good to lean on a big tree. HttpStatusCodeResult Without backing from a powerful supporter, its impossible to build your own empire. So Miss Lane, what do you think? The womans eyes sparkled with cunning. Firstly I dont really care about having my own intelligence organization. Secondly, I dont trust you. Charlotte Lane said. Miss Lane, you didnt trust all your people from the beginning, right? The woman said, I can give you time to trust me. Charlotte lifted her eyebrows and checked the time, saying: The best trust is based on mutual interests. The benefits I bring you are far greater than what you can offer me. I wont do a losing deal. She stood up and said: Youre a smart person. You know that the injury tonight was your own doing. This is the Imperial Capital, with itsws and rules. But if you dare to cause trouble again, I wont mind taking you somewhere else to deal with it. You know, this is not a threat. And dont forget topensate for the things in this room. Seeing Charlotte leaving, the woman quickly said: Miss Lane, expanding your own power is always the most important thing. The greater your power, the tighter a mans grip on you will be, or else he will unabashedly go after other flowers. Charlotte stopped and furrowed her brows.
She had been married for just a week and was already getting these reminders? Miss Lane, we will cooperate and be allies, the woman said. My name is Be Reid. Charlotte hesitated, then said: If a persons heart changes, power cant hold them. Whats the point of keeping such a person? So were not allies. Charlotte left, Be showing no signs of frustration or defeat. On the contrary, she smiled. Her smile seemed to say they would eventually cooperate. When Charlotte left the Doomsday Hotel, she saw Harton rks car outside. She left her own car in the parking lot and got into Hartons. Is it settled? Harton looked her up and down. Not really settled, just had a fight, Charlotte said. What happened? Charlotte casually said: Someone told me that men, after some time, would be attracted by the fragrance of wild flowers.
Harton, who was about to start the car, mmed on the brakes. He turned to her: Who said that? Charlotte smiled and briefly exined the situation. Harton started the car: Want to cooperate? No, Charlotte said. Setting aside the benefits, I dont see the need to take risks for her. One Celestial Pivot is enough for domestic use. She has other purposes. Exactly, Charlotte said. She wants to strengthen herself, cooperate with me, and even draw me in. Shes deliberately staying at the Doomsday Hotel. I thought about it and then my brother came to mind. Harton chuckled, Young Master Lane is quite popr with thedies recently. Holt Lawrence has checked her background, and its clean, Charlotte said. She seems smart at the moment. As for her character, its not easy to say. What about the one from the Dance Association? Harton asked. The girl from the Dance Association, Charlotte said. She has a simple background,ing from the countryside with two elder sisters and a younger brother. Raised in a family that values boys over girls. Dropped out of school before graduating from junior high. Shes only twenty this year and is now working at the Dance Association, earning money, and studying. Harton nodded. However it seems shes not interested in my brother.
Hartonughed inappropriately. So my future sister-inw might still be casting her, Charlotte said. Harton understood, the more people, the more hope for a sister-inw. Chapter 626: Extra Three: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part One) Chapter 626: Extra Three: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part One) At six in the afternoon, William Lane parked the car at the entrance of the Dance Association. He watched the people asionallying out, wearing their Dance Association practice uniforms. Gradually, a figure materialized in front of his eyes. Five or six years ago, he had gone to a town on business. Just as he was about to enter the police station, he collided with a young girl who seemed lost and disorienteding out from inside. He had noticed from a distance the figure emerging from inside, walking along the same line as him, so he moved aside. But to his surprise, the young girl had her head down and steadily deviated from her course, eventually bumping right into him. Upon making contact with him, the documents in the girls hand scattered all over the ground. She seemed to snap back to reality, quickly stepping back a pace and said nervously with her head bowed, Brother, Im so sorry, I wasnt paying attention And as she spoke, she squatted down to pick up the things on the ground. William Lane looked down, the first thing he saw were the canvas shoes on the girls feet. They were faded and discolored, the glue hade apart, but they were spotlessly clean. After that, he noticed ordinary ck skinny pants. The girl was squatting down picking things up, he saw her wearing a white short sleeve that had been washed till its edges were frayed.
She had short hair, just enough to cover her ears. While helping her pick up the papers, William Lane inadvertently saw his own hand holding a copy of the Household Register which read: Third Daughter, Harper Smith. His initial reaction was, this family must really want a son. The girl had finished picking up and discovered one more document in William Lanes hand. She slowly extended her hand, lightly taking the paper, nced at him and quickly averted her gaze. Her voice was very soft, and she seemed to have a cold, Thank you, brother. Because she looked up, William Lane saw her face. She looked very young. Just by looking at her face and not her height, one would know she was still a child. She had a pretty pair of doe-like eyes, and as if she had been crying not long ago, they were still reddish. For some unknown reason, a wave of sympathy welled up in the gentlemanly Young Master Lane, prompting him to ask, Did you achieve what you came here for? Hmm. The girl took the copy from his hand, stood up, and with a nasal voice said, I wanted to change my name, but its too much trouble. They also need my parents here, otherwise they wont do it. William Lane also stood up. Harper Smith The name of a daughter who was named in anticipation of a son. The girl again bowed her head and said, Im sorry, brother. William Lane chuckled, his voice took on a warm note, Its okay. So, what do you n to do? Ille back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and continueing. The young girl dered defiantly, Until they do it. William Lane raised his eyebrows. The girl again said, Im sorry, brother, I have to go. And with that, she left. William Lane watched her leave, and didnt think much of it after that.
Until three dayster, when he came again. Upon leaving, he saw the young girl sitting on the steps eating corn. This time, the documents in her hand were in a transparent bag. While munching on the sticky corn, she used the documents as a makeshift fan. As William Lane was giving instructions to his assistant, his eyes inadvertently drifted towards her.
He put aside the instructions, and walked towards the girl. Youre back again? The girl was startled and nearly dropped the corn from her hand. She steadied the corn, looked up, saw it was William Lane, and immediately stood up, Brother? The assistants eyes widened in surprise, then taking off his sses, he tried to hide his shocked expression. He was only away for a week from his Young Master, and all of a sudden theres a sister? Again? William Lane asked. Yeah. The girl sounded a bit disappointed, I was rejected again. You want to change it that badly? William Lane asked. Hmm. The girl didnt dare to look at William Lane and answered with her head down. Lets go. William Lane said. Huh? Where to? The girl was suddenly wary, instinctively taking a step back. William Lane noticed the caution in her eyes and slightly raised his eyebrows. Then he headed towards the police station, Helping you to inquire, do you want toe?
The girl packed her corn properly and followed him. What do you want to change your name to? William Lane asked as they walked. Jad. The girl replied softly. Jad? William Lane thought for a bit and asked, Do you like plum blossoms? Jad is a metaphor for plum blossoms, hearing these two words, William Lane thought of plum blossoms and asked casually. Yes. The young girl lowered her head, trailing behind him, I like it a lot. William Lane smiled and said nothing more. The two of them spent a long while indoors. The young girl filled out many forms and even wrote an application by herself. By the time they came out, the first phase of the procedure waspleted. The girl would just need to make a few more trips on her own afterwards. Having had his assistant do a background check on the young girl and finding no cause for concern, William Lane took the liberty of using his connections to aid her, even ensuring that she was looked after a bit. Thank you, Brother, she said. William Lane noticed that the girl had be quite nervous after leaving. It seemed like she was afraid that she would be asked for a form of remuneration that she would not be able to afford.
Additionally, she seemed quite disheartened, as if she did not know how to repay him and was mildly upset about it. Smiling, William Lane said, Dont mention it. Handle the remaining procedures yourself. For the first time, the young girl brought herself to look him in the eye, not hurriedly shifting her gaze away. I am not a local, William Lane said. I could tell, the young girl replied, How can I repay you? No need, William Lane responded, Will you be hit if you change your name and go back home? The young girl just shook her head, not saying anything else. William Lane didnt say anything more either and left the ce with his assistant. He truly didnt give the matter any further thought. Knowing it wouldnt cause him any trouble, he decided to help just because he could. To him, it was just a minor act of kindness, something he saw as doing a good deed for the day. For a long time afterwards, as he was busy searching for his sister and dealing with another sister who was not attending school properly, he forgot about the young girl. Until four yearster, at a Dance Association meeting.
His mother introduced him to a young girl who was crowned the champion ofst years dancepetition. The eighteen-year-old young girl had grown taller, more open-minded, and even more beautiful. She had also grown out her hair, styling it in a high ponytail. All Dance Association members have such outstanding personalities. Everyone was wearing gorgeous clothes and shiny essories, except her, who dressed the simplest. Yet, she was the most eye-catching one. He remembered telling Sophie Ortiz in at that time, Either truly be simple, or deliberately appeal to peoples attention. She fulfilled both criteria. She was genuinely simple, and she genuinely captured the attention of Young Master Lane. Perhaps, in that moment, she even held his heart for a while. As he was reflecting, William Lane saw a familiar figure exiting from the car. He pulled out his cell phone and made a call to Amelia Smith, saying as soon as it connected, The car is outside the entrance. Get in. From the Dance Associations entrance, Amelia Smith turned her head and saw William Lanes car. She hesitated and after a while, said, Young Master Lane, I still have things to do. Ill give you a ride, William Lane insisted. That wont be necessary, Ive already called a cab, Amelia Smith declined politely. William Lane went quiet for a bit before saying, Amelia Smith, my mother will be here in five minutes. Would you prefer me to drag you into the car in front of my mother, or will you get in now by yourself? Amelia Smith: Young Master Lane Funny enough, my mother decided toe out early today, William Lane interrupted her. Amelia Smith stiffened, hearing greetings exchanged behind her with Sophie Ortiz. And there was William Lane she saw him getting out of the car! Without giving it a second thought, Amelia Smith sprinted to William Lanes car at a hundred-meter dash speed, opened the door, got in, shut the door, and then, leaning over as if trying to stay hidden from someone looking from outside the car window, she looked at William Lane and said, Young Master Lane What should you call me? William Lane, standing outside the car, looked at her. Amelia Smith looked pitiful. Seeing that he showed no sign of leaving, she finallypromised, Brother. William Lane snorted in amusement, got in the car, and fastened his seat belt, Fasten your seat belt. Amelia Smith, crouching down like an ostrich trying to hide itself, bent her head low to fasten her seat belt, and then bent her body so low that she almost buried her face in herp. Fearing of being seen from the car window, she urged, Hurry up and go. Teacher Ortiz is out. Leave, leave, leave, or well be seen. William Lane looked at her and, smiling, started the car and drove away. Chapter 627: Extra Four: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Two) Chapter 627: Extra Four: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Two) What are you afraid of? William Laneughed a bit. What are youughing at? Amelia Smith looked at him. Its funny, William Lane said, My mom really likes you. Amelia Smith took her eyes off him and looked out the car window without speaking. Of course she would like her as a student. But as someones girlfriend, even just for fun. With her background, standing with William Lane Its bound to provoke others. As Amelia Smith thought about this, she noticed the passing scenery didnt seem right and turned to ask, Where are we going? Home. I have to work, Amelia Smith said, Please, drop me off ahead and Ill ride a bike there. William Lane didnt stop the car.
Young Master Lane. Dont go, William Lane said. I have to make money, Amelia Smith said. William Lane nced at her, seeing she was about to get angry, and asked, Still at the coffee shop? Yes, Amelia Smith paused before saying, Last time I went to the clubhouse, I was a substitute for a friend. I had a decent job there, whats with the anger? You had a decent job, but were the people there decent? William Lane said. You went there too, Amelia Smith said. I had business. Everyone else had business too, Amelia Smith said, Besides, Im not a child, cant I protect myself from being bullied? Tsk, William Lane frowned, Why do you always have so many reasons? Amelia Smith closed her mouth, her doe eyes blinked, and then she said, I wont go anymore. William Lane took her to the street where the coffee shop was located but didnt go to the coffee shop itself, Ill pick you up tonight. Amelia Smith got out of the car first before saying, No need. I can manage by myself. As she finished speaking, she didnt give William Lane time to argue, she closed the car door and left. William Lane: Despite what she said, after finishing his work, William Lane still came to pick her up. He parked his car at the street corner and walked over to fetch her. Upon reaching the entrance of the coffee shop, he had to wait outside for her. ording to Amelia Smith, his car, clothes, and disposition were notpatible with her part-time job.
So he was just a disreputable presence. As he neared the entrance, William Lane sent her a message to let her know he was outside. However, as he was halfway through writing the message, he noticed Amelia Smith had already left the coffee shop and was chatting with a boy outside. The boy was their supervisor, named Ruben Wayne.
Lets walk together, Ruben Wayne said. No thank you, Amelia Smith declined, I can get there quickly on my bike. Alright then, Ruben Wayne said, suddenly reaching over to tuck a stray strand of hair behind Amelia Smiths ear. Amelia Smith caught a glimpse of William Lane out of the corner of her eye and was taken aback, letting him suddenly touch her hair. She clumsily stepped back a bit. Ruben Wayneughed and said, Did I scare you? I saw that hair about to go into your eyes. Amelia Smith touched her hair andughed awkwardly, Thank you. What do you keep your mouth for? William Lane suddenly approached, Shes got hands, couldnt you have just told her? At the sound of his voice, Amelia Smith felt her heart tremble. Ruben Waynes smile froze upon seeing William Lanes face, You are Are you not going to introduce who I am? William Lane looked back at Amelia Smith. Amelia Smith nced at his face, paused for a moment, and then said, Hes my distant rtives elder brother. At this introduction, William Lane was amused. Rtive, and a distant one at that.
Heughed, and Amelia Smith couldnt help but shiver a bit. William Lane looked at Ruben Wayne and gritted his teeth, Thats right, a distant rtive, so distant, its like three generations apart. Amelia Smith lowered her head, looking at her toes. Ruben Wayne sensed the change in atmosphere, but thought it was because they were family, which was a understandable reaction. He smiled and said, So its Elder Brother. Who is your Elder Brother? William Lane said, Stay away from her. And keep your hands to yourself. If I ever see you within one meter of her again Amelia Smith hurriedly pulled him away, and William Lanes harsh words were cut off as she dragged him away. You Lets go, lets go. Amelia Smith continued to drag him. Once in the car, William Lane became more and more upset, but didnt say anything and took her home. Amelia Smith wanted to go back to her own rental house, but seeing him angry, she didnt dare to speak up and followed him back to the vi. As she entered the vi and changed her shoes, Amelias first instinct was to run away. But William Lane grabbed her by the back of the neck before she could seed. What are you doing?
Sit there. Amelia Smith was dragged directly onto the sofa: What, what are you doing? Do you like him? William Lane asked. Amelias pupils shrank, and a voice in her mind instinctively refuted, but she didnt let herself say it out loud. William Lane took her reaction as a silent confirmation. Amelia lowered her gaze, her fingers gently scratching the sofa. William Lane took a deep breath: Do I really disgust you that much? You dont even give me a second nce despite me chasing you all day, yet you immediately like someone else. Amelias hands slowly clenched. Seeing that she didnt want to talk, William Lane stood in front of her for a while before sitting down on the other side of the sofa. The two of them sat quietly at the ends of the sofa for a while, and then William Lane said, Go rest. Amelia replied softly, got up to leave, and then quietly said, You should rest early too. As she was about to leave, William Lane suddenly got up, walked over to her, and grabbed her wrist. Then he sat down on the sofa, pulling Amelia onto hisp.
While Amelia was still in shock from the sudden fall, he pinched her face and kissed her. Their lips touched softly, and a cold sensation traveled from her mouth to her brain. Her face was squeezed tightly, her lips parted Amelias eyes widened in shock, as she became dumbfounded. It was only when William Lanes grip tightened around her waist that she snapped back to her senses and tried to push him away with her hands on his shoulders. But William Lane was too strong and could not be pushed away. Amelias remaining rationality made her struggle. After struggling for a while, William Lane finally let go of her. Amelia pushed him away, stood up immediately, her eyes red, breathing heavily, looking at him with unbelievable and somewhat pitiful incredulity. William Lane leaned back on the sofa, his neatly dressed shirt wrinkled, his thin lips turning red, and the lust in his eyes burst forth without any concealment. He looked up at Amelia. Youre not allowed to go to the coffee shop anymore. If you want to work, Ill arrange it for you. The hoarseness in William Lanes voice was evident. I dont need it. Amelias voice was also hoarse, but she was on the verge of tears. William Lane didnt give in: Ill give you a choice. Either dont go to the coffee shop, or go one more time tomorrow and nevere out of this vi. You William Lanes eyes grew darker. Bastard. Amelia wiped her lips and turned to leave. William Lane looked down and called, James Lane. A man in ck suddenly appeared at the entrance, blocking Amelias path. Get out of the way! James didnt move. Amelia tried pushing him a few times without sess, eventually gave up, and returned to the living room, then went upstairs to her usual guest room. When the room door closed, the living room fell silent. William Lane sat in the living room for a long time before raising his hand to touch his own lips Chapter 628: Extra Five: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Three) Chapter 628: Extra Five: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Three) Returning to the room. Ashley Smith closed the door and leaned against it in the dark room, feeling her racing heartbeat and her gradually warm skin. Night is best at hiding everything, and it is only in the night that she is truly herself. Only then does she dare to open herself up and face her heart directly. At 5 oclock the next day, the door to the guest room opened, and Ashleys head peeked out, looking left and right, seeing no one. She quickly squatted down, came out of the room, quietly closed the door, and then walked to the railing, secretly looking at the living room downstairs. No one. Ashley Smith immediately got up and ran downstairs quickly. Just as she was about to change her shoes at the entrance, the cor of her back was caught.
Ashley Smith stiffened and dared not move. What are you up to? Trying to run? said William Lane. Ashley Smith turned around with a smile, How could I? I just have morning practice, so I want to go early. Morning practice starts at seven oclock, and its five oclock now. William Lane looked at her, observing her reaction. I I Im just more diligent and hardworking. Ashley Smith took a step back. If youre so diligent, dont work part-time anymore. William Lane said, Concentrate on practicing your dance. Ashley Smiths mouth twitched, If I dont work, Ill have to drink the northwest wind. Sophie Ortiz really liked her and was willing to take her with her during performances, but she had to go to school and didnt have much time and energy. So she had fewer performances. When there were no performances for the Dance Association, the monthly sry was only enough for her to rent a one-bedroom apartment of around fifty square meters near the Imperial Capital. Food, clothing, and school fees all cost money. Without a part-time job, the northwest wind would eventually be drunk up by her one day. William Lane looked at her. Ashley Smith understood his meaning, I dont want your money. I can work with my own hands and feet and earn it myself. Once I graduate, Ill have more time for performances, and Ill be able to earn more. Ill send you to study abroad. William Lane said, Ill go with you. No. Ashley Smith immediately refuted, What I want, I will strive for myself. Besides, I dont like foreign countries. I feel much safer in my own country. Regarding this matter, William Lane was really a bit out of tricks with her. I, I wont go to the coffee shop anymore. said Ashley Smith, I will find a new job on my own. I dont need your help. I can find one myself. Dont you like me helping you at all? asked William Lane. Ashley Smith pursed her lips, whispering, I dont like it. Then Ill lend you money and charge interest. William Lane backed down, Can you pay me back when you start working one year after graduation?
Theres interest? William Lane: No interest. No. Ashley Smith shook her head. Ashley Smith. William Lane was about to be killed by her anger.
Ashley Smith shrank her neck. William Lane sighed, Forget it, lets eat first. Oh! You made breakfast so early? asked Ashley Smith, Did Aunt get up so early? I made it. You made it? Ashley Smith stopped, worried that she might get food poisoning. Well, well I dont think Im very hungry either. You, you eat by yourself. William Lane didnt care about her, one arm wrapped around her waist. Ashley Smith was ushered to the dining room with both feet off the ground by William Lanes arm and thrown onto a chair. Eat. Ashley Smith pouted and reluctantly picked up her chopsticks. What gentleness and warmth are all just disguises on that face. His temper is worse than anyone elses. Ashley Smith didnt go to the coffee shop for a long time after that and didnt have a part-time job for a while.
Because she had to train in the Dance Association and because she was in the self-taught Imperial Capital Institute of Technology, she could only attend sses on weekends and asionally in the evenings. Therefore, she couldnt find a suitable part-time job for the time being. And William Lane still picked her up every evening as long as he had time. Ashley Smith never missed a chance to refuse, and William Lane never missed a chance to be refused but stille to pick her up. One evening, William Lane finished his work at the Research Institute, went back to Lanespany to handle some matters, and then went to the school to pick up Ashley Smith, who had a night ss. As he was about to approach the school entrance, William Lane saw Ashley Smith talking to a boy at the entrance. So he stopped the car not far away and didnt go over. At the school entrance, Ashley Smith looked at the boy who was a head taller than her and asked after a while, Isnt it still early for the start of school? Why are you here so early? Hmm, Im working part-time during the summer vacation. The boy looked a lot like Ashley Smith, only his looks were more aggressive, I had the day off today, so I came to see you. Dont worry, Dadhe doesnt know, I asked Big Sister how to get here. Youre not an adult yet. Ashley Smith said. I am on my ID card. Her younger brother was three years younger than her, seventeen years old. But when he registered his residence, his age was mistakenly filled as one year older than his actual age. Ashley Smith: Are you tired? The boy shook his head, then took an envelope out of his pocket, Sister, this is my sryst month, for you.
Ashley Smith looked at the envelope and noticed a bit of bandage exposed on her brothers wrist. She frowned and grabbed his wrist, How did you get hurt? Its nothing. The boy pulled down his sleeve to cover it, I just identally got hurt while working. Its been taken care of, its fine, dont worry. Ashley Smith pulled up his sleeve to take a look. The bandage was wrapped very thickly, but she couldnt see any injuries, Are you really okay? Im fine, the boy said, Its almost healed. Ashley Smith frowned, looking at the envelope again. It was thick, and there must be at least 20,000 yuan in it. What kind of job are you doing? You earn so much in a month? A construction site. The boy pushed the envelope forward again, Sister, take it. No need, you keep it, Ashley Smith let go of his wrist, There are many things to buy for the start of school, and money is needed in many ces. Consumption in the Imperial Capital is very high. Sister Daniel, he is him, and you are you. The money is taken by him, and even if I return his favor, it has nothing to do with you, Ashley Smith said, Theres no need to be wronged for someone else. Sister Alright. Have you eaten? Ashley Smith pulled at his clothes and stuffed the money back into his pocket.
I already ate. Where are you staying? Ashley Smith started to work part-time and make money in the town near their hometown since she was fourteen, so she hasnt lived with them for many years. Although there is familiarity, there is more estrangement. Im going back to the dormitory on site, said Daniel Harrisonbless. Is it far? Ill call a car for you. No need, I have a friend nearby, Ill go find him and go back with him, said Daniel Harrisonbless. Hmm. Daniel Harrisonbless stood for a while, then said, Sis, Im leaving. Hmm. Ashley Smith said, then continued, Daniel, be careful and take care of yourself. School is starting soon, focus on your studies. I know, sis, Daniel Harrisonbless smiled, Dont worry. Chapter 629: Extra Six: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Four) Chapter 629: Extra Six: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Four) Only after William Lane saw Evan Smith leave did he drive to the entrance. As a result, within a short time, he saw a boying out of the school and asking her for her contact information with his cell phone. In his hurry, William almost crashed the car into the sidewalk. But by the time he got out of the car, the boy who wanted her contact information was gone. Not being able to personally cut off Amelia Smiths peach blossoms, William was unhappy all the way. He understood that even without Ruben Wayne, there would be thousands of other Ruben Waynes. The youngdy is in her prime, young, beautiful, hardworking, strong, confident, and resilient. With arge number of good qualities, who wouldnt be tempted, who wouldnt like her? Thinking about it, William suddenly had a terrible idea. And he ns to execute it, so he makes a U-turn ahead.
Ever since Amelia got in the car, she had been filling out an information form, not paying attention to where they were going. Since William picked her up, she would definitely return to his residence. But since the road took such a long time, she looked up and saw outside the window: Where are we? Where are we going? To your residence, William replied. Amelia blinked her beautiful deer eyes. Whats going on? Is she finally free? William drove without looking at her, but he also knew she was puzzled: To get something. What thing? Household Register, ID card, William said indifferently. Huh? Amelia was puzzled and even a bit cautious. William Lane made up some lies: Tomorrow well get a certificate for you, so you can pay less tuition. Is that possible? Amelia was still confused. William continued to make up stories: Yeah. Its a new policy, internal news. Well get it done for you while there are fewer people who know about it, otherwise, youll have to wait in line. Oh, Amelia nodded, okay then. Perhaps it was because William had helped her when she was in her teens. Amelia had always trusted William unconditionally. After picking up the household register and ID card, the two returned to Williams residence, crossing half of the city. Amelia had taken a nap in the car, and when they got back to the vi and went to her room, she was still dazed. After watching her go back to her room, William took her household register and ID card and went back to the study room. Amelia is a very opinionated and resilient person. She aplishes what she wants to do and doesntpromise in what she doesnt want to do.
But William knew that she was different towards him. Perhaps because he had helped her, she always felt that she owed him something, so for William, she often obeyed without question. asionally, she would argue a few points, but in the end, she would still listen. Just like how he had forcefully intruded into her life, knowing she didnt want toe, he would still take her to the vi whenever he had the time.
She would argue, resist, deliberately distance herself, but ultimately she would yield. She would never argue or throw a temper over anything with him. It seemed as if she would always test where his limits were, and when she reached them, she would go along with his preferences. William looked at the photo on the ID card in his hand. He regretted his actions tonight to some extent. The young girl was only twenty years old, in the prime of her life, and she would meet many more people in the future. Perhaps they would be better looking, more outstanding, and younger than him. Keeping her by his side like this, wasnt it unfair to her? But this regretful emotionsted only ten minutes or so. William still wanted to selfishly keep her by his side. He couldnt ept the idea of someone else being with her. Having made up his mind, William called Harton rk, Still at my ce? Harton was bathing the children, and Charlotte Lane handed him the phone: Yep.
Ask for the household register from my mom tomorrow, and well meet at the Seventh Street East Intersection, said William before adding, Dont tell L. Standing right next to Harton, Charlotte heard the voiceing from the phone: Harton nced at Charlotte andughed, Im on speakerphone, L is right here. William: Charlotte: Sigh, my brother has grown up and has secrets he doesnt share with his sister anymore. William: . Ill share it with you when its sessful, William smiled, Remember not to forget tomorrow. Charlotte: Okay. After hanging up the phone, William put away Amelias documents and was about to go back to the room to rest when he suddenly received a call from the boxing ring. He answered, and the other party said, Young Master, theres trouble at the boxing ring. William didnt understand why they were calling him about the trouble: Deal with it. We have. But the person hesitated for a moment, One of them seems to be Lady Smiths younger brother.
William was taken aback, frowning, You dealt with her brother? No. But Initially, his face was covered, so we hit him too. Fortunately, the people at the boxing ring tonight were familiar with Evan since they had followed William, otherwise, they would have dealt with him as part of the gang. William breathed a sigh of relief: What happened? Its a foreign gang thats been in the domestic scene for a while now, looking to swallow up the boxing ring, so there was a conflict tonight, the other party said, It seems that Lady Smiths brother was short of money and quite capable, and got tricked into it. How did it go? William asked. They all have external injuries, but they may need some time to recover. William: Okay, got it. Let him heal for now. The next morning, breakfast was made by William as usual. Amelias silent assessment of Young Master Lanes cooking skills in her heart was: Edible. After breakfast, the two went out to the car. Amelia thought he would take her to the Dance Association on his way.
However, he parked his car by Seventh Street and got a file bag from another car. After that, they seemed to be going the wrong way. Where are we going? Amelia asked. William said calmly, Civil Affairs Bureau. Ha? Amelia thought she was having some problem with her ears or brain, Where are we going? Civil Affairs Bureau. Go, what are we doing there? To get the certificate. Amelias eyes widened: What certificate? Marriage certificate, William answered patiently yet calmly. Whos getting the marriage certificate? Amelia asked again. The two of us, William said, You and me. Amelia was speechless. In her head, it felt like bees were buzzing incessantly. After a while, she said, Are you crazy? Youre old enough, William said. What does it mean when he says shes old enough? What does it mean that shes old enough! Feeling confused for a while, Amelia suddenly became somewhat agitated: Young Master Lane, look at me, look at me, look at me carefully, do you know who I am? Do you know the gap between our statuses? I am driving, and I cant look at you, William honestly didnt look at her, focusing on driving instead, But I know very well who you are. Chapter 630: Extra Seven: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Five) Chapter 630: Extra Seven: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Five) Reaching the Civil Affairs Bureau Entrance, Amelia Smith tried to run as soon as the car stopped, but William Lane locked the car door, and her attempt was unsessful. Unable to open the car door, Amelia gripped her seat belt and looked at William: I wont go in. If you drag me in there, Ill shout and tell people inside that youre forcing me, and then Ill call the police on you. William smiled: Alright, you can try. Amelia furrowed her brow, biting her lower lip: Young Master Lane, whats there to like about me? I have no prestigious background, no impressive education, no abilities Amelias voice grew quieter. Noticing no change in Williams tone, he said, I like your face. Amelia was shocked: How can you be so superficial? Is there anything wrong with that? William defended himself. I, I Amelia was speechless. William continued: Then tell me why you dont like me?
Amelia gripped her seatbelt, not knowing what to say. Why arent you saying anything? William prompted. Amelia looked down, thinking to herself: how could she tell him that he was too good for her? Amelia Smith William called her name again. Suddenly, Amelia blurted out: You are older. William felt as if he had been stabbed in the lung. Amelia sneaked a nce at him and quickly looked away, not daring to speak. There was a sudden moment of silence in the car. Amelia lowered her head, and saw William using his cell phone, seemingly chatting with someone. After about a minute, William handed her his cell phone. Amelia didnt know why he was handing her his phone but took it anyway. She saw a photo on the screen the moment she got the phone. It was a photo of his younger brother. The image wasnt very clear, as if it was taken from a surveince camera, but she could still see his face covered in injuries. He was curled up on the ground, wearing ck clothes that didnt show much, but there was blood on his neck and hands. Amelia trembled at the sight. Theres more, William, feeling utterly despicable, urged her to continue looking. With trembling fingers, Amelia swiped to the next photos. There were more images taken from different angles, even more horrifying than the first. Unable to bear it any longer, Amelia closed the phone and looked at William: What did you do to him? What have you done to him? Looking at her pale lips and reddened eyes, William took a shallow breath and said, What did I do to him? He was with a group of people who broke into my ce yesterday. Of course, their ultimate goal was to take my life.
Amelias eyshes trembled: How is that possible? Its true, William swallowed, his throat painfully dry. Byst night, Evan Smith was the only one left from his group. What do you mean? This was the first time Amelia had ever shown fear in front of William. Just what youre thinking, William wiped away her tears and then said, Amelia, I need a reason to let him live.
William Lane, you Amelia stared at him in disbelief. You have half an hour to think about it; whether you leave or go inside with me William gently rubbed her head and took her ID, So I can decide what to do about Evan Smith. As the car door closed, tears fell onto Williams phone. Standing outside the car, William took a deep breath, cursing himself while heading into the Civil Affairs Bureau. It didnt take half an hour for Amelia to get out of the car and enter the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her eyes were filled with red blood vessels from crying. William looked at the young girl in front of him. Amelia whispered, I want to see him. Alright, William replied, We will go after we finish. Amelia, with her tear-stained eyes, was asked several times by the staff if she was entering into the marriage of her own ord. Amelia Smith just mechanically nodded her head. Finally, William Lane said there was an emergency at her home, and the two finally got their marriage certificates. The moment Amelia got her marriage certificate, the first thought in her head was that if she ever wanted to get married again, it would be a second marriage.
However, as soon as this idea emerged in her head, the marriage certificate was taken away. William Lane put both marriage certificates in his pocket. Amelia had nothing in her hands and looked at William Lane, saying, I want to see Daniel. William Lane gestured for her to get in the car. Amelia thought William Lane was going to take her to some secret location. Unexpectedly, he took her to the hospital. When they arrived at the ward, Daniel Harrisonbless was receiving an IV drip on the bed, his head wrapped in gauze, the wounds on his face treated and swollen. His left arm was also in a cast, though it was unknown how the rest of him was faring. As soon as the door to the ward opened, Daniel opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance. William Lane saw the viciousness and murderous intent in his eyes and raised his eyebrows. However, the moment Daniel saw Amelia, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, mixed with fear. Ignoring the pain in his body, he got out of bed immediately. Due to the sudden movement, the IV needle was pulled out from his hand. The back of his hand was cut, the IV pad immediately dyed red, and blood dripped onto the floor.
Daniel. Amelia immediately entered the room to help him. With an injury to his abdomen, Daniel could not stand up straight but still pulled Amelia behind him first. He didnt know who William Lane was and wasnt sure whose boxing ring it wasst night. However, anyone who could easilye and go from here and be so respectful to the person watching him must be rted tost nights events. He stared at William Lane, If you have a problem,e at me. It has nothing to do with her. William Lane smiled faintly. Amelia helped him, Daniel, Im fine. You sit first. Sister Sit first. Amelia made him sit on the bed. As Daniel sat on the bed, he looked at William Lane. Sister, are you okay? Did he do anything to you? Did he bully you? If I bullied her, what do you n to do? William Lane said softly. Just about to get up, it seemed Daniel was itching to fight William Lane.
But Amelia held him back, Dont move. Just sit. Im fine. Hearing his sisters anger, Daniel didnt dare move. Amelia turned her head to look at William Lane. William Lane smiled, You two talk, Ill go outside. As soon as he left, Daniel clutched Amelias hand, looking anxious. Sister, did you make any deals with him to let me go? What did he do to you? Amelia looked at the blood flowing down his hand, No, weve known each other for a long time. He helped me change my name. What happened to you? What on earth are you doing to yourself? With his head down, Daniel remained silent. Ive said it before, he is him, you are you. Amelia was very angry. He didnt take the money, but I would give it to him one day. But all the money is for raising me. Daniel whispered softly, his head down. Big Sister and Second Sister were forced to marry for my sake. And you werent even allowed to study. You took up a part-time job to make money, and it was taken away. So? Amelia said, You like this? You risk your life to make money? Everyone is raising you, but youre risking your life as a joke! Cant you live up to yourself, let alone others? Sister. Daniel tugged at Amelias clothes, I was wrong, dont be mad. Amelia pulled her hand away. With his hand on hisp holding his pants, Daniel dared not speak Chapter 631: Extra Eight: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Six) Chapter 631: Extra Eight: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Six) Amelia Smith took a leave of absence from Dance Harmony School to spend the day at the hospital with Evan. William Lane apanied her for a while, but was soon driven away by her. So he went to the Research Institute, and only came to pick her up after work. The two had dinner outside, and then William Lane apanied her to her living quarters to get her things. You should cancel your lease for this ce, William Lane helped her pack her things. Amelia Smith thought for a moment and said, Okay. Ill talk to thendlord tomorrow. Back at the vi, Amelia Smith stood in the living room replying to a message, and in no time, William Lane had carried her luggage to the master bedroom. When she went back to her room and did not see her stuff, she came out to look for it and William Lane directly pulled her into the master bedroom. Amelia Smith looked at the spacious room and couldnt help but ask: What are you doing? What am I doing? William Lane said, Going to sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep Amelia Smith suddenly stepped back and stammered, No, no, I mean, you, me Were married, William Lane reminded her. Amelia Smiths eyes widened. They were married. So what? So they had to sleep together? Did this sleep have a deeper meaning than just sleeping, as she understood it? Seeing her surprised look, William Lane found it amusing and took a step closer to her. Amelia Smith immediately stepped back again, picking up something nearby to aim at William Lane. William Lane looked at the statue in her hand and said slowly, 120,000. Amelia Smiths eyes widened even more, and she carefully put it back down. She then tried to pick up another object, but heard William Lane say, 200,000. Amelia Smith reached for something else on the side. William Lane walked closer slowly, This one is cheaper, just over 90,000. Hehe. Really fucking cheap. Amelia Smith quietly withdrew her hand, cursing the capitalist for having so many expensive decorations in his house. As she thought about it, she turned around and William Lane was already in front of her. She instinctively took a step back, but there was nowhere else to go since the cab was already behind her, so she had to press herself against it. William Lane took another step forward, their clothes touching.
Amelia Smith raised her hand to his shoulder, trying to put some distance between them, but it didnt work well: Young Master Lane William Lane nced at her, and after a while, said, Im going home. Are youing back with me? Amelia Smith was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously. Then you can rest here tonight, said William Lane. From now on, sleep here and dont go back to the guest room.
Im fine in the guest room, Amelia Smith said. Thene home with me. Ill stay here, just here, Amelia Smithpromised immediately. William Lane smiled, leaned down, and kissed her forehead gently, Call me if you need anything. Amelia Smith nodded her head. After William Lane left, Amelia Smith leaned against the cab for a long time without moving. She knew about his power and influence. She had known it since meeting him at the age of fourteen. Today, however, she found it even more terrifying than before. That year, he was dressed in a well-fitting suit, had a great figure, and was quite tall. He was also very handsome. His aura was understated, making him seem gentle, but his eyes were cool and distant when looking at people, creating a sense of distance. This was her first impression of him. She had never seen such a person in her town. She had only seen them online and on TV series. She knew he must be very rich.
The second time she saw him, she knew about his influence. He helped her change her name and make connections. That day when she came out of the police station, Amelia Smith was excited, nervous, and scared. She didnt know why this man was helping her, and she didnt know what his purpose was. After all, she had nothing, and there were no benefits to be gained by helping her. The only thing she had going for her was that she looked good. At that time, she wondered if he would do something or use her for some trade. However, he didnt do anything. He didnt even leave a name and just left. And then he disappeared from her life for four years. She tried various methods to find him, but she couldnt get any news. Sometimes when she woke up from a dream at midnight, she felt that she had dreamt that day. Her name hadnt changed, and she hadnt met that man. But every time she saw her name on her household register, she knew that man was real.
Until the second year after she won the dance championship and attended the Dance Harmony Gathering, she saw him again. He had be even more handsome than four years ago and seemed to smile more. He stood beside Sophie Ortiz, talking to those around him, with a gentle smile on his face, looking even more gentle. It seemed like he had let go of whatever had been weighing on his mind, feeling rxed and glowing. As soon as she saw him, Amelia Smith was so excited that she couldnt even speak clearly. She asked a senior, who was the person beside Teacher Ortiz. The senior told her that he was William Lane, the eldest son of the Lane family, who would be the future housemaster of the Lane family. Imperial Capitals two big families, the rk Family and the Lane Family. If she was just an ordinary worker, she might not pay much attention to them. But being in the Dance Association, she could feel their prestige. When she learned that, Amelia Smith felt a moment of loss. She suddenly didnt know why she had been so persistent in finding him and what she wanted to do.
She should have known long ago that they were not of the same world, and she couldnt repay him for anything. But to this man, she was just a small insert song in his life, and he had long forgotten about her. So she didnt go to him and secretly watched him from afar. Bit by bit, she felt the gap between them that she could never cross, no matter how hard she tried. Later, Sophie Ortiz introduced her son to them, the neers. When William Lane looked at her, his eyes werepletely those of a stranger. She didnt say anything either, treating him as a stranger, and called him Young Master Lane. Then after the gathering that day, she was waiting for a taxi on the roadside, and William Lanes car stopped in front of her. As the car window went down and Amelia Smith saw his face, she clenched her bag tightly. William Lane looked at her and smiled gently, Lady Smith, are you waiting for a car? Let me give you a ride. Amelia felt that at that time, something good must have happened to William Lane, which made him so happy. She said, I live far away, and its no trouble for Young Master Lane. Lady Smith, I once helped someone, William Lane said suddenly in a slow voice, andter, that person forgot about me. Do you think that person is ungrateful? To be honest, Im quite sad. I didnt forget, Amelia blurted out, raising her voice a bit. After she said that, she saw William Laneughing and immediately lowered her head. So youre ming me for pretending not to know you just now? William Lane continued. No, Amelia didnt dare to look at him. What should you call me then? William Lane asked. Amelias ears were burning, and after a moment, she whispered, Elder Brother. Young Master Lane seemed satisfied, Get in the car, and Ill take you home. I live too far away, Amelia protested again, Ill just take a taxi. My home is far away too, William Lane said, Get in and tell me how youve been doing these past few years. For William Lane, Amelia Smith felt that the fact that he remembered her was already very gratifying Chapter 632: Extra Nine: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Seven) Chapter 632: Extra Nine: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Seven) After the two got their marriage certificates, their rtionship didnt change much. The only change was that Amelia Smith moved into the master bedroom, and when William Lane asionally went home, he stayed in the guest room in the vi. Amelia Smith studied and danced even harder than before, and took advantage of her free time to find a part-time job. It was introduced by one of her ssmates. She worked at a self-study training institute. Because it was introduced by acquaintances, the working hours were very flexible and she only received payment based on the course fee. With good luck, she had more free time and could take more sses and earn a decent amount of money. In this regard, she did not let William Lane interfere, and he rarely intervened. As long as it was safe, William Lane respected her work. But in terms of work safety, there were always some people of low quality who were unsafe. One day, after Amelia Smith finished her evening ss at school, she went to the training institution to teach a pre-arranged ss.
It was already 9 PM when the ss was over. William Lane was on a business trip, so James Lane had been picking her up these days. As she was packing up her things to leave the ssroom, she saw a man walking out of the restroom as soon as she reached the door. He was the vice principal of the training institution. Amelia Smith stopped and noticed that he had been drinking. She took a step back and said, Vice Principal, good evening. The vice principal looked to be in his forties, quite tall, and somewhat overweight. He squinted his eyes and recognized Amelia, then smiled, Youre that new one, called Amelia Smith, right? Yes. Seeing him walk towards her, Amelia took another step back. Noticing her wariness, the vice principal stopped and waved at her, Amelia, Im drunk. Can youe over and help me? Amelia didnt move and took out her cell phone, Let me call your family or assistant for you. Are you still studying, Amelia? Yes. Amelia looked at him. So you have to study during the day and work at night, must be very tiring, right? Well, everyone struggles. Amelia smiled and continued, Vice principal, give me your assistants mobile number, and Ill call them toe pick you up. You dont look veryfortable. Seeing Amelias reluctance, the vice principal stopped talking, If I want to call them, Id do it myself. I dont need your help. He walked away after that. Amelia didnt say anything, nodded to him, and tried to quickly leave by staying close to the other wall. Just as she took a few steps, the vice principal suddenly grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her towards the restroom. Amelia immediately tried to break free from his grip. Let go of me! Amelia whispered fiercely.
The man continued to pull her, Wearing such pretty clothes and dressing so nicely, isnt it for hooking men? All women are the same! Pretending to be virtuous with me, ying hard to get? Amelia was about to break free, but upon hearing his words, she hesitated and lost some of her strength, allowing herself to be dragged into the restroom. As she was dragged in, she tried to grab the doorframe. However, she was quickly pulled further in, and the restroom door was closed.
Three minutester, Amelia ran out of the restroom and sprinted to the first floor without stopping for a second. She then entered the restroom on the first floor. She went into a partition and locked the door while catching her breath. Then standing in the partition, she rubbed her wrists and let out a softugh. From a young age, she started working in the countryside and quit school to work part-time. While working, she taught herself dancing and also learned some self-defense techniques. She didnt dare to say her self-defense skills were excellent, but her strength was definitely not small. Beating up a fat guy like that was not a problem if she yed her cards right. She stayed in the restroom for a while, only leaving when she deemed the time to be right. She even purposefully let the surveince camera in the hallway capture her looking frightened. Then she went straight to the security room. She told the security guard that she had lost something on the first floor, without mentioning the floor where she had ss. When the guard wasnt looking, she copied the surveince footage of the first floor and her ssroom floor before leaving. A few days after the incident, Amelia Smith still worked at the training institution, with nothing happening and no further encounters with the vice principal.
Until a weekter She finished her evening ss and went to the library to look up some information, borrowing two books. It was already past ten oclock when she left. She hugged the books, walking on the campus road, and enjoyed the evening breeze at school. Amelia always felt that the wind at school was morefortable than anywhere else. This was a feeling she would always cherish. As she slowly strolled through the school, passing by the little woods, two people suddenly rushed out. One of them grabbed her arm, while the other covered her mouth and dragged her in. Both books fell to the ground. The area of woods on campus was not small, and it was dark inside. Sometimes couples woulde here in the evening for dates. But at this time of the year, with so many mosquitoes, few people woulde here. As Amelia was dragged in, she realized that there were more than ten people inside, including the vice principal. Werent you so tough? Why dont you fight now?
Amelia red at him, then mustered her strength, and with a forceful jerk, shook off the two people holding her. She tried to run out, while taking out her cell phone. However, after only a few steps, she was caught again. Another person grabbed her hair and pulled it. Amelia managed to press the power button three times before her phone was snatched away and tossed out. Where are you running to? Do you think you can still get away? The vice principal pped her face. Amelia spat a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva on his face, You bastard, despicable scum. The manughed, wiped the saliva off his face, and fiddled with the camera in his hand, sneering: I want to see if your mouth will be so toughter. Looking at the camera in his hand, Amelia kept telling herself to stay calm, stay calm. But her heart was beating too fast, and her legs couldnt help but go weak. The man saw her looking like that, and his smile became even creepier: Strip her clothes off. The man holding Amelia immediately moved his hands onto her clothes. She used all her strength to break free, kicking the man beside her and pping another on the face.
After attacking them, she tried to run again, but was quickly pinned to a tree. Her shoulder hit the tree, causing her to wince in pain. Her shirt cor had been torn open. The night breeze hit her shoulders, followed by a disgusting touch. In an instant, Amelias eyes reddened; nausea, fear, and despair filled her entire body. Tears involuntarily fell as she shouted, Let go of me! Now you know how to cry? Werent you so capable that night? The man sneered, Remember this woods well tonight, and think of me every time you pass by in the future Amelia struggled again but couldnt move. At that moment, she felt a gust of wind pass by, and the person pressing her was suddenly gone. A heavy thud and groan followed. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 633: Extra Ten: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Eight) Chapter 633: Extra Ten: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Eight) Amelia didnt even know what had happened, just that she was let go and immediately started running. Behind her were sounds of fighting, muffled grunts, and half-muted screams. She didnt care, she just kept running. But after only a few steps, she was wrapped around her waist and caught again. Instinctively, she struggled again. Amelia, its me. Amelia stopped, then looked up at the person beside her: Elder Brother. William Lane got a scratch on his neck from her nails: Its me. Amelia immediately grabbed his arm, tears streaming down her face uncontrobly: I, I, my legs are weak. William looked at her swollen half of her face and disheveled hair. He held her waist tightly, making her lean into his embrace, stroking her head and said, Its fine now, dont be afraid.
Amelia leaned in his embrace for a while before suddenly looking up at the not-far-away scene. The fighting sounds had stopped. Everyone was on the ground, except for James Lane who was still standing. Amelias breath was unsteady, and she spoke with a whimpering tone: That fat guy hes the mastermind. James, William said, that fat guy. Yes. James immediately got to work, focusing on belligerently beating the fat guy. At first, there were a few yells, but after two punches, there was no sound. William took off his coat and draped it over Amelia before picking her up horizontally. Amelias tears fell, but her mind was somewhat clear: Maybe we shouldnt hit them anymore, we dont want to cause trouble. Its fine, William, holding Amelia, walked out. After taking only a few steps, they heard the mans muffled voice: Do you know who I am? Youbeat me like this, youre in trouble. You wontst in the Imperial Capital past tomorrow Upon hearing this, James gave him an even more ruthless beat down. William paused, his eyes cold as ice, and his tone colder: James, let him go. I want to see whos backing him. Yes. James stopped and stood aside. Id like to see if I can make it past tomorrow. After saying that, William left with Amelia in his arms. Once they were in the car, William checked Amelias injuries: Where did they hurt you? Amelia sniffled: No they didnt hurt me. William looked at her for a while, sat down next to her, and helped her fix her messy hair.
Amelias hair had just grown past her shoulders. When she was eighteen, she had worn her hair in a high ponytail and it was very long. Butter, someone offered to buy her hair for five thousand RMB, and she cut it off and sold it. Since then, her hair hadnt grown too long.
William used his hand tob through her hair, and a few strands fell out, Did they pull your hair? Yeah, Amelia replied softly. William used a hair tie from Amelias wrist to secure her hair into a simple ponytail. Why didnt you scream? There was no one in the woods, but there must have been people outside on the road, William said. Although she pressed the shutdown button on her cell phone, he and James could receive SOS messages and immediately trace her. Yet they had still managed to hit her. I, I was too afraid, I forgot to yell, Amelia replied sheepishly. After her hair was tied, William checked her body again. The swelling on her face had worsened since earlier. He then peeled back the coat on her shoulder, revealing a torn part of her clothing on one side, and a scraped and reddened shoulder. Amelia moved aside slightly, adjusting her shirt on her shoulder: Its fine. It will heal in a couple of days. William pursed his lips and said nothing. After a while, he knocked on the car window. James had been outside the whole time, hearing the sound, he immediately opened the car door, sat in the drivers seat, and started the car. They didnt speak on the way back to the vi. After returning, Amelia followed William into the Living Room.
She even followed him into the Restroom. When William stopped, she bumped into him. William turned to look at her, Why are you following me? I need to use the restroom. Amelias ears turned red, and she immediately turned to leave. William grabbed her hand and pulled her back. I wont look, I promise, Amelia quickly said. William couldnt help butugh, You want to watch? I wont even let you. I William took her over to the sink, hugging her from behind, Since youre in here already, wash your hands. I can do it by myself. Not saying a word, William hugged her from behind and helped her wash her hands. After drying them off, he touched her head gently, Go sit in the living room. Oh. Amelias ears werepletely red like an obedient robot; she went to the living room and sat down. William came out of the restroom, went upstairs, grabbed the medicine box, and then returned to the living room, sitting next to Amelia. Seeing the medicine box, Amelia said, I can apply it myself.
William didnt respond, but instead dabbed some alcohol with a cotton swab and gently disinfected her wound. After disinfecting, he carefully applied medicine to her injury, The swelling will go down by tomorrow. Amelias gaze was lowered, not daring to look at him; What about that man? Will he cause you trouble? Do you know him? Hes the vice principal of the training institution I work at, Amelia whispered. Was this the first time? William asked as he reached for her coat. A week ago, he got drunk at the training institution and dragged me into the restroom. Amelia clung to her coat as she looked at him, I can apply the medicine myself. Then what happened? William didnt move. I fought him off in the restroom. William raised an eyebrow. Amelia continued, I copied the surveince videos. If he causes trouble, we can report him. William rubbed her head, He wont cause any trouble. Tonight, not only will the person supporting him from behind be exposed, but information of his ancestors for 18 generations will appear on my desk. Amelia paused for a moment.
William moved her hand away from her coat, putting it on the torn inside clothing, and then took her coat off, Ill apply the medicine. Why are you always holding on to it? Were married now, theres no part of you I wont see. Amelias clear eyes widened, and the redness on her ears spread to her neck. As William applied medicine to her, he couldnt help but smile at her reaction. After applying the medicine, William ced a nket over her from the sofa, and then said, Amelia, tell me about these things in the future. Im sorry for causing you trouble. You dont have to apologize. You didnt do anything wrong, William spoke softly, I should be the one apologizing for not protecting you well enough. And that man, he shouldnt have bullied you. With one less person like him in the world, theres more protection for girls. Lastlythis isnt trouble, nothing about you is trouble. Amelia hadnt expected him to say that and looked up at him. Whats wrong? Youre different today, Amelia said, You used to rarely talk to me like this. William smiled, Its because you were frightened today. Another possibility isthe man in front of you has ulterior motives. He wants to numb you with words, and then You wouldnt, Amelia said. I would, William replied, Im a certified person now, I can do a lot. Amelia looked at him and slowly scooted back. William watched her cower, then stood up, walked over to her, and gently pinched her chin, You like to make your own money and be independent with your career. Youre an independent individual, and I respect and support that. However, when you encounter situations like this, you need to tell me C even if you can handle it yourself. Just treat it as daily sharing. Otherwise, I wont support you anymore, got it? Oh. Chapter 634: Extra Eleven: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Nine) Chapter 634: Extra Eleven: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Nine) The next day, William Lane had been waiting all day, but no one came to look for him. Of course, he expected it. Because he had someone deal with the vice principals supporter behind the scenesst night. Now that vice principal was probably shivering at home. So after work, William Lane went to his home to visit him. He didnt bring many people, and as soon as he entered the house, the man knelt before him with a thud. Young Master Lane, Young Master Lane, I was wrong, I was wrong. William Lane sat in a chair, his mouth slightly curled up: You have a good informant, you found out so quickly? I really made a mistake. I didnt recognize a VIP. I didnt know it was you. I didnt know she was your woman. The man wanted to pull on William Lanes trouser leg but was kicked away by James Lane. Shes my wife. William Lane corrected him.
The man hesitated, looking even more frightened. If it was just a woman, it wouldnt be so bad, but if she were Mrs. Lane, he would be in deep trouble You even wanted to film her with a camera? William Lane said. I didnt, I didnt. It was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding? William Lane said softly, What about the time you dragged her into the restroom at the training institution? Was that also a misunderstanding? Young Master Lane, I was drunk that day. I waspletely out of my mind. Do you think that you can get away with hurting someone just by saying you were drunk? You were drunk, so why should someone else bear the consequences? William Lane said, If you have low self-control, admit it, dont me it on the alcohol. Did the alcohol coerce you into being vile? Young Master Lane, I was wrong, I really made a mistake. The mans forehead was dripping withrge beads of sweat, tears and snot flowing in abundance, I didnt know she was Mrs. Lane, I really didnt know. If I had known, I wouldnt have dared, even if I had a hundred guts. So what? If she werent Mrs. Lane, you could bully her casually? William Lane frowned. No, no, Ill change, I will definitely change. Young Master Lane, I wont dare to do it again, I really wont. You change? What use is it if you change? Does your change resolve everything for the people youve harmed? Will their physical and psychological pain just disappear? Do you think there would still be a future after hurting others? As William Lane spoke, he stretched out his hand to James Lane. James handed him the files. William Lane looked at it for a while, then threw everything in the mans face, With these things, how many times could you die? The sharp pieces of paper cut through his already bruised face. The man looked at the records of his crimes and said, Its not me, its not me. I didnt do those things, its not me. Whether its you or not, you can tell that to the police. William Lane said. Young Master Lane, no, no. William Lane stood up and dusted off his clothes: Just leave him with some breath for the journey. Yes. James Laneplied. As William Lane left his house, he could hear the screams from inside.
His repressed mood for a day and night finally felt a little relieved. Although this vice principal was a mere deputy, he owned the entire training institution. He was finished And so, William Lane secretly bought the entire institution without telling Amelia Smith.
Everything was running as before, just without the vice principal, and with a new boss. Amelia Smith initially wanted to quit her job at the training institution and find another ce to work. However, William Lane told her that the man would no longer bother her, and she could work with peace of mind. So she didnt leave. After all, it was not easy to find another job that fit her schedule so perfectly. But the next day, William Lane, the hidden boss, was discovered. And this newscame from the mouth of Chu Tian, who never spoke to anyone for a day. When William Lane found out about this news, some of his understanding was copsing inside him. Then Amelia Smith began looking for a new ce to work. Then William Lane would not let her go elsewhere. I dont quite understand, why is it that just changing a boss makes you not want to work? William Lane knew it, but asked on purpose, Whats the difference? Because the bosssst name is Chu? Yes. Whats wrong with thest name Chu? William Lane said.
I wont make money from you. Amelia Smith sat on the carpet, screening various part-time jobs on job recruitment websites. You put in the appropriate work, get the corresponding pay, this is what you deserve. William Lane said. Amelia Smith nced at him, didnt say anything, and continued looking at the job recruitment websites. William Lane, who was ignored, took a breath and continued, Moreover, this institution belongs to our joint property as a couple; you are working for yourself here. Amelia Smith nced at him again and then remained silent. William Lane pressed her head to make her turn and look at him: Say something. What to say? Amelia Smith blinked her big eyes. William Lane: Ive been talking for a while, havent you been listening with your ears? I listened. William Lane: How more annoying than his sisters. I really dont know what to say. Amelia Smith blinked her clean and innocent eyes. William Lane: Why arent you talking either? Amelia Smith asked.
I William Lane let go of her and said with a deted tone, I dont know what to say either. I can work for you for free, without pay. Amelia Smith said, But now I dont want to work for free. So I want to go elsewhere. ???? William Lane had a bunch of question marks in his head, all tangled up together. After a while, he shook her little head: What kind of magical thinking is this? Amelia Smith looked at him, and after a while, lowered her gaze: Brother, you are standing too high, its something I can never catch up with. The only thing I can do is not depend on you. This is the only thing I can do in our rtionship. Its also the only thing that can make me feel some dignity. William Lane fell silent for a moment, then sat on the carpet and looked at her: Amelia, you like your brother, dont you? Amelia Smith didnt say anything, but her eyes answered him. Liking. Very much. Always. William Lane smiled, leaned forward slightly, and kissed her lips. Amelia Smith stiffened nervously as he approached, but didnt dodge. She greedily enjoyed a light and gentle kiss from William Lane.
Amelia, we have always been equal. I like you, you like me, William Lane touched her face, You are excellent and intelligent. You have never bowed to fate and have been struggling against it since you were young, walking step by step to where you are now. You are constantly enriching, improving, and elevating yourself every day. In this way, you are much more dazzling than me. Amelia Smith looked at him. My current status, position, and wealth all stem from my family. Even what I have created is also based on my family background. William Lane said, So we are no different. We both rely on our abilities to create wealth and our future. The bnce in your heart is not quite urate. Amelia Smith had a nk look in her eyes, as if she was beginning to doubt her long-held perception. It seems she was somewhat convinced by William Lane. I know, getting the marriage certificate was pushing you too hard, William Lane said, You are still very young, I thought about giving you time, letting you think slowly. But it has been two years. Your heart has been troubled by these things all this time. And when I asked if you like Ruben Wayne, you never denied it. I was really afraid you wouldnt understand and ended up marrying someone else. So I didnt want to wait any longer. Chapter 635: Extra Twelve: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Ten) Chapter 635: Extra Twelve: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Ten) Over these two years since their reunion, William Lane had clearly expressed his feelings for Amelia Smith. However, after expressing his feelings, due to Amelias young age, her concerns, and her rejection, William had mostly been a friend and an elder brother to her. Their conversations were mostly superficial, and oftentimes, six out of ten sentences were sarcastic banter. William, being more than ten years older, never bothered to give way to the youngdy. He even took advantage of the fact that she couldnt do much to him, always seeking victory in verbal disputes. Bullying the young girl. They seldom had heart-to-heart talks like they did that night. Amelia appeared to be a simple and innocent girl, but in fact, had many thoughts and concerns of her own.
However, once she faced William, her many concerns diminished to less than ten. Especially when he was so gentle with her. She would easily fall for him. Therefore, until they went back to their rooms to sleep, she had believed every word of Williams and thought that there was something wrong with her own thoughts. She felt hopeful about the future of their rtionship. But then, after a nights sleep, she woke up early in the morning and, while stretching her legs on the bed, she came to her senses. Although William had the support of the Lane Family, his outstanding abilities were also obvious to all. Not only did he have the familys support, he even entered the Research Institute. He would have been admirable even without his family background. Moreover, his family background couldnt be ignored. With such arge family, many people were vying for the position of being the young masters wife. The future Lady Lane needed to be capable of upholding the entire family. And Amelia wondered what she could do to maintain the family. People may be equal, but their identities will never be. To maintain a rtionship under such long term inequality, how long could their feelingsst? Instead of eventually parting unhappily, Amelia thought that it might be better to never start at all, leaving the regret of loving each other but being unable to be together deep in their hearts. In this way, whenever they thought of each other, they would always see the best versions of themselves. As Amelia thought about this, she switched to stretching her other leg.
And moreover, she did not want any of it. What about the Lane Family members? Teacher Ortiz, Chief Lane, Charlotte Lane, Olivia Lane, and the Lane Familys Patriarch. How could they have possibly agreed?
Any marriage would be inappropriate between unequal families. Early in the morning, Amelia grew increasingly hopeless and convinced that her problem was insoluble and that no amount of effort on her part could solve it. She felt like she didnt have the ability to take on such a big responsibility. Her mind seemed to be tangled by a thread, wrapping tighter and tighter, unable to break free. So when William came to call her for breakfast, she had already run away. William stood at the entrance, looking at the empty room, feeling confused and dazed. What happened? Werent they having a great conversationst night? How could she be gone the moment he woke up? A shocked William didnt recover even after arriving at the Research Institute. For lunch, everyone ate together in the cafeteria. Kevin rk teased halfheartedly during the meal, I dont know what could make Young Master Lane so absent-minded.
Charlotte Lane looked up at William. William looked up at Kevin. After looking at him for a while, William thought for a bit and asked, If you fall in love with someone who always feels that your identities are unequal and thus distances herself from you, what do you think you should do? Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin rk. Kevin lowered his gaze to peel shrimp for Charlotte and said softly, I havent encountered such a thing, so I cant help you with that. William: After a pause, he continued, When you fell in love with Charlotte, she hadnt remembered her past yet. Kevin rk put a shrimp in Charlotte Lanes bowl and looked at him, his eyes a bit like looking at an idiot: Then you should ask Charlotte. William Lane took a light breath, feeling that he was indeed not very smart. He looked at Charlotte Lane and didnt speak. Charlotte spoke first: I never thought that way. Because without our home, I still have Hundred Demons Pavilion, Spotlight, Cloud Clothing and Rainbow Skirts, and so on. William Lane: Isnt it a certificate? Kevin rk said.
Yeah, I threatened her with her brothers power to get it. William Lane said. Charlotte Lanes chopsticks paused, and she looked at him. After a while, she said, Thats really too much. Kevin rkughed. How can you say that about your brother? William Lane said. Good thing hes my brother, or Id scold you. Charlotte Lane said. William Lane had trouble swallowing his food. In the afternoon, Charlotte Lane finished dealing with things and left with Kevin rk ahead of schedule. She went straight to the Dance Association and looked for Amelia Smith. Ones own brother, of course, should be helped. Initially, she wanted to call Amelia Smith alone, but when she arrived at the Dance Association, she bumped into Sophie Ortiz. Huh? Howe youre here? Is Kevin not with you? Did youe by yourself? Charlotte raised her eyebrows: Why are you looking for Kevin rk when you see me?
Sophie Ortizughed: Without him apanying you, Im just a little curious. Anything up? Just looking for someone. Chloe Davis? Amelia Smith. How did you guys meet? Sophie Ortiz asked curiously, Whats up? Having a heart-to-heart. Sophie Ortizughed and took her to find someone: A heart-to-heart? You dont sound familiar. We will be familiar after talking. Said Charlotte Lane, and then asked, Mom, how is she? Very good, I like her very much. Sophie Ortiz said, Not just because shes an excellent dancer, shes also very smart. She has great leadership skills. She can help me train people in dancing, making my life much easier. Looks like youre satisfied. Sophie Ortiz paused, and when she looked at Charlotte Lane, there seemed to be some excitement in her eyes: What do you mean? Charlotte Lane just smiled and didnt say anything. You naughty girl. Sophie Ortiz said, So bad. Charlotte Lane just smiled. Just go inside. Sophie Ortiz said, Ill find out sooner orter. The moment Amelia Smith saw Charlotte Lane, she thought it was finally here. The plot to give her a billion dors to leave William Lane had finally arrived. And it arrived so fast. It seemed she really should leave William Lane. From the Dance Association to the Coffee Shop, Amelia Smith thought about where she should go, what should she do about school? What should she do in the future? It wasnt until she sat down at the coffee shop that she didnt figure anything out. What would you like to drink? Charlotte Lane said. Whatever is fine. Amelia Smith looked suddenly nervous facing her. Charlotte Lane nced at her, then ordered two caramel mhiatos. Because she thought Amelia Smith looked way too sweet. Miss Lane, what can I do for you? Amelia Smith asked. I heard about your situation with my brother I dont want the money, Ill leave Young Master Lane. Amelia Smith said before Charlotte finished her sentence. Charlotte raised her eyebrow: Why leave? Huh? Amelia Smith looked at her, her face full of surprise and doubt, What do you mean? Didnt youe here to tell me to leave him? I just came to see you. Charlotte Lane held back herughter, her voice light, but she couldnt help teasing her. Just to see how cute my sister-inw is. Chapter 636: Extra Thirteen: Fragrance of Ink-spotted Plum (Eleven) Chapter 636: Extra Chapter Thirteen: Fragrance of Ink-spotted Plum (Eleven) Upon hearing Charlotte Lanes words, Amelia Smiths face turned red instantly. And seeing her flushed face, Charlotte only wanted to tease her more. However, she restrained herself in the end. Actually, I have something to discuss with you, Charlotte Lane said. What is it? Amelia Smith asked, somewhat dumbfounded. Charlotte Lane took out her cell phone, found some photos, and pushed the phone to Amelia Smith. These are all your work, arent they? Amelia Smith didnt touch her phone, but just nced down at it. Charlotte Lane saw her eyshes quiver slightly. The photo showed a jade stone carved with a phoenix. The quality of the stone was very poor and cheap. However, the carving was extremely exquisite and detailed.
The phoenix seemed vivid, every single feather was incredibly lifelike. Such a high level of craftsmanship wasnt achievable without great skill. Amelia Smith held her lips. Miss Lane Dont deny it, Ive done my research, Charlotte Lane said calmly. Amelia Smith swallowed hard, and admitted with a nod, My mom used to learn carving from a master. I started ying with carving knives as soon as I could remember. When I was just over seven, I began to carve some pieces to be sold for money. The real masters are among themon folk. The teacher was based in the countryside, but he was undoubtedly a very skilled carver. The waiter brought over the coffee, and Amelia Smith showed her thanks. Charlotte Lane stirred her coffee and said, Why have you stopped doing it? Amelia Smith looked at her coffee in front of her and didnt say a word. Dont you like it? Charlotte Lane asked. Its not that I dont like it, Amelia Smith said, Its because of some family issues. Since it involved family matters, Charlotte Lane didnt ask any more questions. She knew a little about her story. Amelias father started gambling in recent years, squandering much of their family money. Both of her sisters were forced into marriages in exchange for 200,000 dors in betrothal money. Her mothers health had been poor for the past few years, possibly because she had had several abortions due to the birth of her children. For some reason, Amelia Smith had had a falling out with her family and had little contact with them. Do you n to do it again? Charlotte Lane asked. Huh? Let me speak frankly. Charlotte Lane said, Harton rk owns several jade mines. I n to work on some jade carving business. But theres a shortage of skillful engravers, particrly master carvers.
Amelia Smith looked at her. You know as well as I that this industry is full of deceivers, and genuinely handcrafted works are extremely rare, Charlotte Lane went on, I want to make a profit, while I also hope that these pieces and carving skills can be promoted and passed on. Amelia Smith didnt say anything, but just stared at her. She wanted to know the truth of this matter and whether Charlotte Lane was sent by Roy Madison.
But from the calm expression on Charlotte Lanes face, she couldnt tell anything. Dont you believe it? Charlotte Lane pulled out her phone, showing her some ns, initial ideas, and information about looking for carvers. Its not a temporary idea. When I saw your carvings, I really wanted to work with you. Of course, I hadnt nned to find you today. I Amelia Smith clenched her hand, Im afraid I may have to refuse Miss Lanes kindness. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows: Why? Amelia Smith opened her mouth wanting to say something, yet she ended up not saying anything. This has nothing to do with my brother. He doesnt know about it for now. Charlotte Lane said, It doesnt matter whether you marry my brother or not, and its irrelevant whether you two have feelings for each other. To put it bluntly, even if you two break up in the future, it wont have any impact on us. After a pause, Charlotte Lane added. Dont feel burdened, I just want to make money. The rtionship between us is merely one of financial interests. As long as it doesnt affect our interests, even if you dump my brother in the future, it would still be perfectly eptable. I Take some time to consider it. With our familys mining resources and your craftsmanship, I really need your cooperation. Charlotte Lane said, Today, I merely wanted to give you a rough idea. Later, someone wille to discuss it with you in detail. Amelia Smith found that Charlotte Lane wasnt giving her any chance to object, so she had to go along first and told her that she would consider it. Charlotte Lane nodded: Now, lets talk about personal matters. Hmm? My brother said there seems to be a problem with your rtionship. Charlotte Lane looked at her and said, He was moping around the research institute for a whole day. If this goes on, Im worried it might affect his mental health.
Amelia Smith frowned slightly, feeling a little worried: Is it really that serious? Ill repeat it again, dont feel burdened, Charlotte Lane said, The only requirement for marrying into our family is to be good-looking. Amelia Smith felt as if her brain wasnt functioning properly today. She appeared more stunned. Hasnt my brother ever told you that he likes you because you are beautiful? said Charlotte Lane. Amelia Smith: . Seeing her reaction, Charlotte Lane knew that Roy Madison had said it. She chuckled softly, Yes. Thats also how my mom fell for my dad. After a pause, she added, Of course, thats how I fell for Harton rk too. Amelia Smiths cheek twitched uncontrobly several times. As long as youre good-looking, thats enough, Charlotte Lane said, If you want to work, then work. If you dont want to work, then just be Mrs. Lane and focus on being beautiful. Amelia Smith really didnt know what to say. As for carrying on the family line, if you want to give birth, then give birth. If you dont want to, its also fine. Thats our familys stance. Of course, the final decision lies with you and your husband. Charlotte Lane said softly, My parents said, if theres someone who could inherit the Lane family fortune, then let them inherit it. If not, then donate it. Amelia Smith waspletely dumbfounded.
This didnt seem to match the family dynamics we see in TV shows and novels. Although Im married, I still represent the opinion of the Lane family for the time being. Charlotte Lane said, These are the opinions on a family level, the rest is for you and my brother to sort out. The two sat quietly for a while. Then Amelia Smith said, Miss Lane, dont you think I will be a great burden? Charlotte Lane looked at her. With regard to my family, Amelia Smith clenched her fingers and said, You must have learned about it. My dad could be a problem at any time. Charlotte Lane smiled and said, If there were issues in my brothers family, lets say my brothers and sisters were fighting over our family fortune, reaching the point where lives were at stake. If there was a constant threat to our lives, would you consider my brother a burden? Amelia Smiths eyes widened slightly; she had never thought of this question before. Because she knew that in the Lane family, the atmosphere was generally amicable, with the parents, children, and siblings all having a good rtionship. Thats an unrealistic assumption. Charlotte Lane continued, Your brother barged into my brothers territory and caused a fuss. His gang was set on taking my brothers life. This could very well happen again in the future. You, as his weak spot, are in danger as well. Would you consider him a burden? Amelia Smith stared directly at her, but she answered very quickly, No. After she finished speaking, she felt her thoughts were too exposed. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she lowered her head. There you have it. Charlotte Lanes phone buzzed. It was a message from Harton rk.
He was asking whether she should return home or not. Harton rk had been increasingly clingy recently. Charlotte Lane put away her phone and said, Shall I drop you off at the Dance Association? No, Ill take a taxi to the school, Amelia Smith said. Alright. Chapter 637 - 638: Extra Fifteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Thirteen) Chapter 638: Extra Fifteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Thirteen) Amelia Smith brought her to the address provided by Max Smith, William Lane offered to drop her off. She let James Lane drop her off at a supermarket entrance, went inside to buy some things, then walked to the inn. When she arrived, Max Smith was waiting for her at the entrance. As soon as he saw her, Max narrowed his eyes, then immediately weed her with a smile. Miss Amos. Max was dressed simply, in a short-sleeved ck outfit. Although washed a bit whitish, the fabric was very good. Over fifty years old, he had slight wrinkles on his face, but it was not difficult to see that he was very good-looking. The entire family of six at Amelias home was very good-looking. Max took the things from Amelias hand: Are you tired? Amelia Smith looked at him and asked directly, Wheres my mom?
Inside. Max smiled, trying to be pleasing. Ill take you there. Amelia maintained some distance from him, not wanting to have too much conversation with him, and followed him into the hotel. From the outside, the hotel did not appear to be toorge, but once inside, it was quite spacious and looked clean. In this area, it would cost about two or three hundred for a night. Amelia looked around and followed Max into the elevator: Does Evan Smith know you guys are here? He knows; Ive already told him. He helped us book this ce. Max responded with a smile. Amelia nced at him: He didnte? He said he has to do a part-time job during the day, and can onlye after work in the evening. Max lowered his stance. Hearing his reply, Amelia watched as the elevator stopped on the 12th Tower, the elevator door opened. Miss Amos, were here. Max took a step out, noticing she hadnt moved, and called her name. Amelia followed him out, then took out her cell phone and sent a message. The corridor was narrow, with a carpet on the ground. asionally as they passed a room, they would smell smoke or hear loud conversations from inside the rooms. Amelia followed him along a rather long path, turning a corner, all the way to the end of the corridor, before arriving at the room. Its here. Max said, taking out the room card. With a beep, the room door was unlocked, and Max pushed it open. Just as he pushed it open a crack, Amelia suddenly said: Dad. Surprised, Maxs hand stopped in ce, and he looked at her. Amelia looked at him and said: When I was born and you found out I was a girl, you must have hated me in that moment. Max remained silent for a moment, then spoke awkwardly: Why bring this up all of a sudden?
That year, you lost a lot of money in gambling. You wanted to sell me off to that casino boss. You know how old I was then? Amelia spoke calmly. Max couldnt say anything. Fourteen. Amelia answered for herself. A trace of guilt appeared on Maxs face.
Im twenty this year. Amelia said. Max looked at Amelia, standing at the door without moving. He clenched the doorknob repeatedly, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled: Why are you bringing this up now? Dad was indeed wrong back then, and I will make it up to you. Lets go in first. Amelia looked at him and finally smiled a little. This smile seemed topletely sever some emotions and also seemed to mock her own wishful thinking. Sheid her hand on the door, hesitated for a moment, and pushed it open. But just as she entered, Max stood outside the door, closing it. Max did not apany her inside. Six yearster, he made the same choice and personally sent his daughter away. Amelia stood at the doorway, her expression gradually bing nk. She saw three mening out of the room. Any one of them could be old enough to be her father. Your fatherhes really ruthless. The man said with augh. All three men were looking her up and down. Then they all showed satisfied smiles. Amelia Smith held back her nausea, her face turned pale due to difort: Did he owe you money again?
Yeah, thats right. The lead man stared straight at her. How much did he owe? Amelia Smith asked. He lost over 300,000 gambling and borrowed 500,000 from me. The man said with augh, Now its rolled over to more than 5 million. So? Amelia Smith said, You want me to pay it back? Yeah. Another man grinned lewdly, If you apany the three of us for one night, we wont charge interest, and he can just pay back the 500,000. If were satisfied with you tonight, we can cover you for a while, and the 500,000 can be waived. So, Miss, you need to perform well. Take good care of us three brothers. Another man said. Amelia Smiths hand hanging at her side trembled slightly, her lips turned paler: What if I dont? Youre here now, its not up to you. The man smiled lewdly, Dont be afraid, youll get used to it. Amelia Smith took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, then took a step back and walked out of the room. The three mens reflexes were quite sharp, and they immediately pursued her. Just as one man was about to grab Amelia Smiths hand, a hand suddenly stretched out from outside the door and pushed his hand away. Amelia Smith walked out of the room and stood in the corridor, ncing at Max Smith, who was lying on the ground against the wall, unconscious from James Lanes efforts. James Lane blocked the three men at the entrance of the room. What are you doing? One man said coldly, Dont get in our way, youll suffer for it. Hurry up and
Before the word scram was uttered, the leading man suddenly stopped the talking man. Then he looked at James Lane and said, Big Brother Lane? The other two mens eyes widened, and they immediately held their breaths. James Lane was the chief thug under William Lane. He used to be outside. After Amelia Smith came, William Lane gradually brought James Lane back. Aside from managing his subordinates, James Lanes main job now was to be responsible for Amelia Smiths safety. As for William Lane, he was rarely seen, and his reputation was little heard. But with James Lane, many people on the street were terrified by the sound of his name. They would all respectfully call him Big Brother Lane. James Lane didnt know the man in front of him but looked at him without saying anything. Big Brother Lane, The man introduced, We all work for Richie brother. James Lane knew his identity and said coldly, Thats our Young Madam. Three faces showed panic, and their legs even began to weaken.
If one of William Lanes thugs could be called Big Brother, what kind of character would William Lane be to make people willingly submit and be loyal. Moreover, this was the Lane Family of Imperial Capital. They couldnt imagine what would have happened if they had touched her just now. We, we didnt do anything. Nothing at all. The three men said while stepping back, We didnt even touch her. You can ask Mrs. Lane, we really didnt. Big Brother Lane, we really didnt know. It was her father, her father sent her here. He said she didnt have a boyfriend, thats why we came. James Lane walked in, intending to control them in the room and settle the matter. Amelia Smith caught on and said, James Lane, let it go. Dont make too much of amotion. Yes, sir. James Lane replied. Ill take care of the man who owes you. James Lanes voice was icy, even murderous as soon as he opened his mouth, You guys scram back to the border immediately. Yes, yes. Well leave right away. Dont worry about the money, just forget it. The three men bowed and nodded, lowering their heads, Thank you Mrs. Lane, thank you Mrs. Lane. Amelia Smiths face was pale, and it was as if her mind went nk for a moment, with nothing left Chapter 638 - 639: Extra Sixteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Fourteen) Chapter 639: Extra Sixteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Fourteen) Leaving the inn, James Lane left Max Smith on the car. Lady Smith, please sit in the copilot seat. Amelia Smith shook her head without getting in the car: Theres surveince in the corridor. Its fine, Ill have someone take care of it. James Lane said. Could you help me find out if my mother hase over? Amelia Smith said. Okay. Ill have someone check immediately. Let me know once you find out, Ill just wander around here. Amelia Smith said, You can go back. James Lane sent a message for someone to investigate, and after looking at her, saw that she didnt look well, hesitated for a moment: Ill take Lady Smith home. Im fine. Dont worry. Amelia Smith said. Okay. After James Lane agreed, he got in the car and drove away.
Amelia Smith watched him leave and then went back into the inn to use the restroom. Once she went in, she threw up. Her stomach cramped, causing severe pain. After a while, when she couldnt vomit anymore, Amelia Smith turned on the faucet and washed her face. After washing her face, she raised her head to look at herself in the mirror. Her face was so pale that she didnt look alive, and her eyes were red. Water droplets hung on her face. When Max Smith called her over, she became suspicious. After all, he had done such a thing once before. Moreover, when he saw her, he usually asked for money. Just in case, she had James Lane take her there. However, in the elevator, Max Smith lied. Evan Smiths arm hadnt healed yet, he couldnt work a part-time job. Amelia Smith lowered her eyes, and after a while, she covered her eyes with her hand. Her bloodless lips pursed tightly, stubbornly suppressing all the sounds in her throat James Lane didnt go far on his side. He parked the car and ced a call to William Lane, briefly exining the situation. He then kept an eye on Amelia Smiths location. Amelia Smith stayed in the restroom for a long time, and then began wandering around nearby. James Lane followed her from a distance, not daring to drive too close. The investigation results came back from his subordinate; Amelia Smiths mother dide to Imperial Capital, also went to the hospital for a check-up, and was now waiting for a ward at the inn.
James Lane informed her about it. Amelia Smith just replied with a Thank you, but didnt go back to the inn. Half an hourter, Amelia Smiths location showed she was at a bus stop. She didnt move for over five minutes.
James Lane thought Amelia was waiting for a bus to go somewhere or wanted to sit for a while at the bus stop. Until William Lane called and said that Amelia Smith had disappeared. James Lane looked at the still location and immediately drove to the bus stop. It took just a minute by car; when James Lane arrived, William Lane was already at the bus stop. He had also found Amelia Smiths location using her cell phone. But nobody was there, and Amelia Smiths cell phone was found in a trash can. Seeing the cold and gloomy look on William Lanes face, he said, Young Master, its my fault. William Lane nced at him: Find her first. Yes. William Lane contacted Charlotte Lane to have her help search for nearby surveince footage. Then, he mobilized his own people and the Lane Familys people to conduct a carpet search. Charlotte Lane acted swiftly. Upon receiving the phone call, she cked out all the nearby surveince cameras but couldnt find any useful information.
The other party skillfully avoided surveince. Even the surveince near the trash can at the bus stop didnt capture any useful information. As Charlotte Lane was expanding the search area, Holt Lawrences call came in. Nana, the Be Reid you asked me to track, she took Amelia Smith away. Charlotte Lanes expression became grave: Where did she take her? Theyre still in the car. It seems like theyre trying to leave the Imperial Capital. Our people are following them. Give me a location. After a pause, Charlotte Lane added, Dont spare Be Reid. Alright. Charlotte immediately sent the location to William Lane. She had warned Be Reid to leave the Imperial Capital after her brother and Amelia Smith got their certificates. She thought that Be was smart and would know better than to go against her. She had nned to spare her life and let her leave the Imperial Capital. But now she had targeted the Lane family. Did this woman really think she could silently get rid of Amelia Smith without them noticing? Overconfidence isnt always a good thing.
Amelias hands and feet were tied up and she was thrown onto the back seat of the car. It took her a long time to sit up and look at the person in the drivers seat who was heavily wrapped up, not even showing a finger. Who are you? What do you want? The driver wore sunsses, a mask, and a hat. It seemed as if they nced at her from the rearview mirror before saying, My name is Be Reid. I want to kill you. Amelias pupils slightly contracted, and her heartbeat elerated involuntarily. After a while, she asked, Do I know you? Do we have a grudge against each other? I know you. As for the grudge its not exactly a grudge. Be replied, Its just that William Lane likes you too much. I need to make you disappear and make him forget about you. Amelia frowned, her bound hands moved behind her back. The ropes were tied too tight, causing her wrists to hurt and her palms to sweat from nervousness. She looked out the car window: Where are you taking me? To the moat. Be said, By the time youre discovered, youll be just another corpse at the bottom of the river. Amelia didnt know how Be could say such a thing with such nonchnce. But she didnt have the time to worry about others now. She didnt want to die; she needed to figure out a way to save herself. Be quickly saw through Amelias intentions andughed lightly: Dont bother. You? Youre nothing without that pretty face. I dont know why William Lane fell for you, let alone so obsessively.
Amelia red at her, her hands constantly twisting behind her, trying to break free from the ropes. Do you know why Id rather kill you than advise you to leave him? Be asked. Amelia ignored her. Be continued, Because if you disappear, William Lane will forget about you sooner. And you I dont think youd listen to advice and give up on William Lane. After all, with his background, youd never let him go if you got ahold of him. Blood started to seep from Amelias wrists as the ropes chafed against her skin: Even without me, William Lane would never like you. Do you think you can do this so covertly that no one will find out? Its a joke, a self-righteous one. The position of the Lane familys young madam might not fall to me, but it will never be you, either. Be sneered and sped up the car. With the sudden eleration, Amelia lost her bnce, and her head bumped against the car window She looked at the cars falling behind outside and leaned against the window without moving any further. Her cell phone wasnt with her, and this woman seemed to have made thorough preparations. Amelia didnt even know if they were aware she had been kidnapped. The moat was outside the Imperial Capital, and at this speed, it wouldnt take long to get there. Due to her anxiety and fear of death, Amelias legs were trembling, her heartbeat was racing, and it felt like the air had be thinner. Her nerves were stretched tight, and she was utterly exhausted. She closed her eyes, trying to calm down and find a way out, but all she could think of was William Lane. She thought about being independent and not depending on William Lane every day. She wanted to maintain some dignity in this rtionship with such a vast gap between them. But in the end, whenever she encountered a crisis, William Lane was always the one who appeared by her side. Whenever she faced any difficulty, all she could think of was him. From the moment she changed her name, she had been relying on William Lane. She tried to stay rational, fearing the day he would leave her, but she couldnt control herself and greedily fell deeper into this rtionship. Chapter 639 - 640: Extra Seventeen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Fifteen) Chapter 640: Extra Seventeen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Fifteen) Amelia Smith leaned against the car window, her eyes shut and her face deathly pale. She tried hard to appear calm, not wanting to lose face, but her condition betrayed her. She was terrified, fearing death and fearing that she would never see William Lane again. Upon seeing her like this, Be Reid snorted in derision, calling her useless. Amelia carried on as if she didnt hear her, not reacting at all. A few minutester, there were fewer vehicles on the road. Amelia sat up and looked outside, her eyshes drooping as she nced at Be in the drivers seat. But just as she was about to shift, Be suddenly cursed under her breath, speeding up the car. Amelias body jolted against her seat, but she quicklyposed herself and turned to look back. There were vehicles following them. Their speed was also high, closing the distance only to have it widened again.
And it wasnt just one car. Amelia kept looking back, finally able to make out the license te number of the car catching up to them. It was William Lanes car. Upon seeing that license te number, Amelias heart tightened suddenly, tears shed been holding back fell from her eyes. She turned her head and wiped her tears on her shoulder. By the time she tried to look back again, Williams car had already caught up. Bang The car was hit, Be turned the steering wheel, and quickly straightened the car again. The car swayed, and inertia threw Amelia onto her seat, hitting her head. Everything spun in front of her eyes, and it took her a moment to recover. She tried to struggle her way up, but the car was driving so erratically, swaying left and right. Her arms were still tied behind her back, so she couldnt get up. William wanted to force the car to stop, but worried for Amelia in the car, and the high speed they were traveling at, he didnt dare to ram too hard. He could only scrape against the car slightly. But Be was determined to shake him off. Knowing that he didnt dare to hit hard, she took advantage of a gap, elerating away. With the car no longer swaying, Amelia finally managed to sit up. Her tied-up hair waspletely disheveled. Covered in sweat, she sat up on the back seat behind the driver, turned around, and saw William giving chase again. She watched as the distance slowly closed, and just as William was about to catch up, she took her gaze away and sat upright. Then she took a deep breath, and her hands, bound behind her back, forcefully raised up. She quickly wrapped her hands, which had been tied behind her, around to her front.
With limited space in the car, her arm was knocked a few times, causing her shoulders to ache. But she couldnt care less, and when Be nced at her through the rearview mirror, she quickly raised her bound hands, encircling Bes neck, then forcefully pulling her back. Catching her off guard, Be was suddenly pinned to the backrest of her seat by Amelia. Amelia exerted great strength, causing Be to choke in pain, unable to breathe.
Be raised a hand trying to pull Amelia away, but her hands were still tied, and she pulled back like a madwoman, Be simply couldnt break free. The hand that had left the steering wheel, the foot that had been pressing the pedal also ckened a bit. William sensed that something had happened in the car, and immediately mmed on the gas, ramming into them again. James Lane joined in the attack from the other side. In her inability to breathe, Be gripped the steering wheel with one hand and stepped on the gas again. Seeing the car about to be forced to stop, she grabbed a knife from the glovepartment with her other hand and stabbed it directly into Amelias forearm. Amelia grunted in pain. She couldnt help but weaken her grip, but just then, Williams car mmed into theirs again. Thinking of William, she bore the intense pain and exerted her strength once again. Seeing this didnt work, Be quickly pulled out the dagger, cutting the rope that bound her wrist. Amelia, who had been putting all her strength into pulling back, fell backward as the rope was cut. The wound on her right forearm was a prating one, blood flowed down her arm, quickly pooling on the floor of the car seat beneath her. Amelia Smith gripped her right arm with her left hand and nced at the window before closing her eyes. A few secondster, she opened her eyes and suddenly sat upright, leaning forward with her left hand covering Be Reids eyes. Just as her motionpleted, William Lane crashed into them again.
Be Reid suddenly couldnt see a thing as the car was hit again. Subconsciously, she turned the steering wheel drastically. William Lanes hit wasnt powerful, but her car speed was too high and she turned the steering wheel abruptly. The car turned too sharp and toppled over on one side. After hitting the ground, it rolled three times, making aplete revolution. James Lane blocked it with his car from the other side, preventing it from moving again. A powerful loud noise echoed. Amelia Smith, in the back seat not wearing her seat belt, felt like she was thrown into a washing drum, suspended with heaven and earth upsidedown and her whole skeletal structure gnawed with intense pain. All the visuals in front of her were floating around as if they didnt have any entity. Be Reid, who was wearing the seat belt was unharmed. She felt the car might explode soon; she immediately unbuckled her seat belt, kicked the car door open, and got out. James Lane rushed over from the other side, seeing her trying to run, he immediately pressed her against the ground. William Lane sprinted towards the car and forcefully yanked open the car door: Amelia. Amelia Smithid motionless inside the car.
With red-rimmed eyes, William Lane dove into the car, kneeled on one leg on the seat, bent over and gently lifted Amelia Smith: Amelia, Amelia. Amelia Smiths forehead was scraped, and her face was bruised, her body was bloody everywhere. Hearing his voice, her eyelid moved and she weakly managed to open her eyes and say, Brother. Its me. Before William Lane had the chance to check her injuries, he just wanted to get her out of the car first. However, Amelia Smiths leg was jammed between the copilots seat and the door. The cars roll had dented the door, somehow Amelias leg got trapped over there. William Lane tried to move it but it was immobile. At this moment, the Lane familys people had arrived. The road was sealed off, a safe distance was established and Be Reid was captured. James Lane ran over to them and pulled William Lane: Young Master, the car is going to explode. Get something! William Lane shouted, Pry that side open! James Lane immediately ordered his men to get something, Young Master, Ill pry the door open, you get out of here. William Lane ignored him, holding Amelia Smith, and soothingly patting her head: Its okay, dont be afraid, dont be scared. Amelia Smith slowly grabbed the corner of William Lanes clothes with her left hand and weakly said, Brother, brother, leave first. In the midst of his panic, noticing Amelia Smiths fear, he gently kissed her forehead, Its alright, well leave together.
Amelia Smiths consciousness was gradually bing blurred, but she still tried her best to shake her head. She wanted to say something and tried hard to talk, but no sound came out. Tears kept falling from her eyes incessantly. William Lane wiped her tears for her, Amelia, its alright. Dont sleep, hold on for just a little while, just a little while. The tools came, and James Lane started prying the door. One minute, James Lane, if it doesnt open in one minute, you leave immediately, William Lane suddenlymanded, Imand you! James Lane was stunned, for the first time he didnt respond to William Lanes words, and started prying the door. Luckily the door didnt take much effort to pry open. Young Master, lets go! James Lane instructed. William Lane immediately carried Amelia Smith out of the car and began retreating to a safe distance while holding her. Just as they had barely run a few steps, the car exploded. Boom Jame Lane instinctively shielded William Lane from the explosion. Reaching a safe distance, William Lane ced Amelia Smith onto a car that hadnt been impacted, and then immediately pulled James Lane over to examine his back. Seeing that he was alright, he didnt utter a word, but got into the car. James Lane also quickly got behind the wheel and drove to the hospital. Chapter 640 - 641: Extra Eighteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Sixteen) Chapter 641: Extra Eighteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Sixteen) Amelia Smith had minor injuries all over, aside from a serious wound on her arm and a concussion. Her leg was caught in a crevice, but it was just a bruise, no serious harm. Perhaps it was good fortune in misfortune. However, because of the blood loss and concussion, she was unconscious for a day. When Amelia woke up, the sky was just beginning to lighten. She opened her eyes to the hospital ceiling, smelled the disinfectants, and stayed dazed for quite some time before realizing she was still alive. And she was in a hospital. She blinked and then shifted her eyes to the side. William Lane was sitting on a chair beside the bed, elbows upon the bedside table, his head held up by his hand, fast asleep. Amelia watched his closed eyes, his high-bridged nose, and his thin lips. Her eyes slowly traced the details of Williams carefully refined face. Suddenly, William opened his eyes. Amelia instinctively averted her eyes, feeling embarrassed as if she had been caught peeking. But William was too anxious to notice her facial expressions; he was relieved that she was awake, Amelia, youre awake? Since when? Do you feel ufortable anywhere? Does your wound hurt? Just woke up, and Im not ufortable. Amelia spoke, her throat sounding a bit hoarse. William got up, gently touched her face, and called over the doctor anyway. The attending doctor came for a checkup and found no problems, which finally eased Williams mind somewhat. He poured her a ss of water, inserted a straw, and brought it to her lips, Drink some water. Amelia had a few sips. William then sat back down in the chair, caressed Amelias right hand, Does it hurt? Amelia looked at his bloodshot eyes, It doesnt hurt, I cant feel anything. The IV drip has a bit of painkillers, if you feel pain, they can increase the dose a bit, it wont affect your body. William softly exined. It doesnt hurt. Amelia looked at him, Did you get hurt anywhere? Im fine. William held her fingers, Your leg is not hurt, it wont affect your dancing. Take care of your arm, it wont dy your carving. Knowing her worries, William addressed them directly. Amelia visibly let out a sigh of relief, a small smile formed at the corner of her lips, How long have I been asleep? For more than a day. After a pause, William seriously said, Amelia, I promise, there wont be such incidents in the future. That woman seems to like you. Amelia interjected. I dont know her. Afraid she might misunderstand something, William instinctively exined. Amelia fell silent, I want to sit up for a while. She had an IV in her left hand and her right arm bandaged, although it wasnt painful, the thought of the wound still made her a little ufortable, and she didnt dare to exert too much effort. Alright. William got up, walked to the foot of the bed, adjusted the position of the head of the bed a bit, and then held Amelia to adjust her position, Does this work? Feeling dizzy? Im not. Once Amelia was settled, she silently stared at the buttons on her patient gown and after a while she asked, Brother, where is Max? Temporarily locked at home. William responded, For your mother, I have arranged for a ward and doctors. The preliminary results from the doctor areit cannot bepletely cured for now, but it can be effectively controlled. Thank you, brother. Amelia quietly said, her head low. Whats there to thank? William tucked her hair behind her ear, This is what Im supposed to do. Were husband and wife, these are all our affairs, no need to distinguish between you or me. Amelia Smith dropped her head in silence again before speaking, Brother, on that day we got the certificate, if I hadnt entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, you wouldnt have done anything to Evan Smith, right? William Lane was taken aback by her sudden question, Thats not necessarily true. You wouldnt have. Amelia Smith said, And I knew you wouldnt have. But I still followed your threat and went into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Am I awful? William Lane looked at her without saying anything. That day, I knew I shouldnt have gone in, but my selfishness took over my rationality in that moment. Amelia Smiths voice started to waver, she took a breath to suppress her sob, After I got out of the car, I was thinking of leaving. But I couldnt control myself and still went into the Civil Affairs Bureau. I was in a bad mood because of my younger brother, but mostly because I was angry with myself. William Lane was still silent. Amelia Smith dared not to look at William Lane: While I was rejecting your advances, I constantly lingered in your presence. I knew I should leave, leave Imperial Capital, butI greedily wanted to be by your side even more. While she was talking, she could hardly control herself. Tears already trickled onto the quilt, I always think, what if one day you stop liking me, then I wouldnt be able to see you anymore. So, I greedily wished for more and more time to be with you. William Lane took out a couple of tissues and stood up. He turned her face toward him, asking her to look at him. As soon as she lifted her head, tears rolled down her cheeks. William Lane carefully wiped away her tears, then looked into her eyes and asked, Why are you telling me all of this? Hearing his voice turn cold, Amelia Smiths tears poured more heavily. She paused before saying, I suddenly felt like telling it. Amelia Smith, I want to hear the truth. William Lane looked at her unwaveringly. Amelia Smith tried to look away, but William Lane grasped her chin and forced her to look at him. Unable to free herself, Amelia gave a sniffle, Im scared. Scared of what? Scared of death. William Lane didnt quite understand. Amelia choked back a sob, Life is unpredictable. I fear death, because that means I wont get to see you again. I fear death, because I havent had the chance to spend quality time with you or even tell you that I like you. William Lanes eyshes fluttered slightly, as he stood there, somewhat dazed. I dont care anymore if you will always like me or whether Im worthy of you. Amelia choked out between sobs, struggling for breath, But, but Im not as good as you think I am. Ive been using your feelings for me to get close to you. William Lane pulled her into his arms, brushing away her tears with one hand and patting her back with the other tofort her. Amelia sniffed quietly, Brother, will you hate me? Why would I hate you? William patted her back, How do you know I didnt deliberately bring up your brothers issue, knowing that you wouldve gone into the Civil Affairs Bureau anyway. Amelia gave a soft whimper, sounding like a small kitten. William Lane buried her face in his waist, letting her wet his clothes with her tears. He fondled her head, Amelia, thats not selfishness. Its just that our little Amelia likes her elder brother. You cant control yourself when youre in love. Also, Lady Smith, you need to get one thing straight. From start to finish, it has been me pursuing you and me insisting on keeping you by my side. If it wasnt me wanting to see you, do you think you could see me anyway? No, I wouldnt. Amelia toughed through her tear-induced dizziness and somehow managed to answer his question. A smile reached William Lanes eyes, There you go. Honesty is the best policy. What goes on in that head of yours all day? Is your mind built differently from mine? Amelia choked sobbed again. William Lane took pity on her; he gently pulled her out from his hug and wiped away her tears and runny nose, then leaned down to her eye level and asked, Do you like elder brother? I do. Amelia nced at him before dropping her gaze again. William Lane leaned in to kiss her tear-soaked eyes, I like you too, very much Amelia, our lifetime is going to be long; we will love each other all our lives. So,ter on dont grow tired of your old big brother. Amelia shook her head, but after a couple times, she began to feel dizzy. Noticing that, William Lane immediately steadied her head to keep her from moving, he held her against the bed, Stop moving. Just rest for a bit. Um. Chapter 641 - 642: Extra Nineteen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Seventeen) Chapter 642: Extra Neen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Seventeen) Amelia Smith was already somewhat weak. After waking up and crying for a while, she fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already past noon. Awake? William Lane touched her face. Amelias eyes were a bit dry due to crying before falling asleep. She blinked, Have you been here the whole time? Mm. How about thepany and the research institute? Amelia raised her left hand and touched her eyes. The IV needle had already been removed. Theyre okay. William Lane said, Roy Madison and Harton rk are at the research institute. My father is handling thepany, and if he doesnt want to, L Campbell can help as well. Miss Lane is really busy. Ameliamented. William Lane smiled, Do you want to eat something? Yes, Amelia said, Im a bit hungry now. William Lane sent a message to order food: Ive asked someone to buy it. Wait for a while. The food arrived quickly. Since Amelia had not eaten in a long time, they bought easily digestible meals. The small table was set up on the bed, and Amelia sat up with her left hand holding a spoon, ready to eat some porridge. Yet, her spoon was soon taken away by William Lane, as was the porridge. William Lane scooped some porridge, blew on it, and brought it to her lips. Amelia looked at him and slowly pursed her lips. Whats wrong? Do you think the porridge Im feeding you is poisoned? William Lane asked. Amelia nced at him and then at the porridge, What if it is? William Lane was speechless, staring at her. Amelia smiled, Ill eat by myself. Hmph, no way. William Lane said coldly and forcefully, Open your mouth. With no other choice, Amelia obediently opened her mouth. Young Master Lane was pleased after feeding her the porridge. After eating a small bowl of porridge, Amelia couldnt eat any more. William Lane tidied up and put away the food, lowered the small table, and poured her a ss of water. Amelia held the ss in her left hand and took small sips, Arent you eating? In a while. William Lane took out a small hairband from nowhere, First, let me tie your hair. Is it very messy? Amelia asked. Not too messy. William Lane said, Just the normal mess. Amelia: Seeing her dazed appearance, William Lane leaned down and kissed her lips, Its a bit messy, but it doesnt affect your beauty. Amelia ignored that, with her eyes downcast and her ears red, staying quiet as hebed her hair. William Lane finished the braid for her. His technique was very skillful, and the result was beautiful. Amelia touched it, Elder Brother, how do you know how to do everything? Because I have two sisters at home who need to look beautiful every day. William Lane adjusted her loose hair on the forehead and kissed her brow, I used to tie their hair when they were young. Its great to have a brother like you. William Lane sat down and raised his eyebrows, Its also great to have a husband like me. Amelia blinked her doe eyes, trying to pretend to be calm after hearing his words but failing after two seconds. She hastily looked away, not knowing where to fix her gaze. ncing at the entrance, she saw half a head poking out from the right side of the ss door, as if eavesdropping. Amelia quickly pulled William Lanes arm with her left hand. Whats the matter? William Lane had just taken a bite of food. Theres someone at the entrance. Amelia said. William Lane was puzzled and immediately got up to walk towards the entrance. As he opened the door, he first startled Olivia Lane, who had been eavesdropping at the doorway. Then he saw Olivia Lane behind Hugo rk, and Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk on the other side of the door. William Lane looked at the four of them: Olivia Lane was holding a bunch of flowers, and when she saw William Lane, she grinned, Brother. We came to see our sister-inw. William Lane gently tapped her forehead: Nope. Why are you so stingy? We cant even take a look. Olivia Lane said and then crawled under his arm into the ward. Hugo rkughed a little. William Lane red at him. Hugo rk: . Charlotte Lane walked into the ward from the other side of William Lane. Kevin rkwatched the interaction between William Lane and Hugo rk. In the end, William Lane entered the room, and Kevin rk still teased Hugo rk mercilessly. Hugo rk felt a lump in his chest. Inside the ward, Olivia Lane put the flowers on the bedside table, then pulled up a chair and squeezed beside the bed, resting her elbows on it. She put her hands on her face and looked at Amelia Smith with a beaming smile, Sister-inw, I am Olivia Lane. You can just call me Olivia. Amelia Smith looked at her, left hand rubbing the quilt, Nice to meet you. Charlotte Lane stood behind Olivia Lane, put her hand on Olivias forehead, and tilted her head back, This makes you look like you have a low IQ. How can that be? Olivia Lane looked up at Charlotte Lane, Im very smart. Charlotte Laneughed lightly then looked at Amelia Smith, What did the doctor say? Just a mild concussion, Ill be discharged from the hospital in two days, Amelia Smith said, Thank you, Miss Lane, for making the trip. Just call me Charlotte, Charlotte Lane touched Olivias face, We are family, no need to be so polite. Olivia Lane watched Amelia Smith nod agreement. Amelia felt a little embarrassed by Olivias stare and her face started to turn red. Just then, William walked over and immediately covered Olivias eyes, What are you doing? I already said you cant look. Olivia Lane held William Lanes wrist, Brother, when did you be so stingy? Our sister-inw is much more generous than you. Amelia Smith and William Lane exchanged a nce, then quickly looked down. Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, a faint smile in her eyes. Sister-inw, can you control my brother? Hes bullying me. Olivia Lane cried out. No wonder you found a backer. William Lane let her go. Olivia Lane moved closer to the bed, gently holding Amelia Smiths right hand. Her mission today was to help her brother woo a wife and let her feel the kindness of the Lane family, One of my many strengths is knowing how to cling to powerful figures. Youre quite pleased with yourself. William Lane said. Amelia Smith felt the warmth in her hand, her trembling eyshes hinting at the warmth in her heart. However, with the arrival of Kevin rk and Hugo rk, her warmth was immediately reced by nervousness. Hugo rk was not a very expressive person and rarely smiled. Kevin rk had an intimidating appearance. Except when looking at Charlotte Lane tenderly, he seemed very distant when looking at others. Noble and unapproachable, his aura was overwhelming. William Lane introduced him. Amelia Smith greeted them nervously, Third Master, Young Master rk. William Lane sat on the other side of the bed and touched Amelias head, No need to be so polite with them. This one is my brother-inw. Kevin rk, considering that Amelia Smith was present, saved face for William Lane. As for him William Lane looked at Hugo rk, Hes my enemy. Hugo rk: Olivia Lane ignored them and yed with Amelia Smiths hand. Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk both smiled slightly. Amelia Smiths eyes circled around, observing their reactions. She then looked at Olivia Lane. Olivia Lane met her gaze with a pitiable and helpless look. Amelia Smith smiled at her sympathetically. Chapter 642 - 643: Extra Twenty: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Eighteen) Chapter 643: Extra Twenty: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Eighteen) Knowing that Amelia Smith felt tense and unfamiliar in their presence. Kevin rk and Hugo rk went to the hospital balcony, and William Lane took his meal to the balcony as well. Only Charlotte Lane and her sister Olivia Lane were left chatting with Amelia Smith. Sister-inw, how did you meet my brother? Was it at the Dance Association? Olivia Lane asked curiously. No, we met a long time ago. He helped me with a favor, Amelia Smith replied. A long time ago? Olivia Lane eximed in surprise, How old were you then? Fourteen, Amelia Smith answered honestly. Charlotte Lane nced at her. Fourteen! Olivia Lane suddenly raised her voice, Not even sixteen! William Lane, who was on the balcony, heard Olivia Lanes shout:
Kevin rk, who hadnt married his wife yet, dared not speak and remained silent. Arthur North, who had already married his wife, cast an using look at Kevin. I only met her when she was fourteen, William Lane said softly. Arthur Northughed lightly: How old is the little girl now? Were on the same boat, why are you feeling superior? William Lane said, Seducing your niece. Arthur North said, I didnt threaten L to get the marriage certificate. William Lane: . Arthur North raised his eyebrows. Fearing that Amelia Smith would get tired, they stayed for a while before leaving when William finished his meal. William Lane apanied them out of the ward. At the entrance of the ward, Charlotte Lane said, Brother, I would like to have a chat with you alone. William Lane thought for a moment, probably knowing what she wanted to say. He followed her to the end of the corridor. The remaining people waited outside the ward for the siblings. Brother, I bear some responsibility for her injury, I am sorry, Charlotte Lane began immediately. William Lanes brows slightly furrowed. I know Be Reid is in love with you, I failed to handle it well But didnt you have someone monitor her? William Lane interrupted, Its her own malicious intention, and you were not responsible for her. Charlotte Lane paused for a moment before speaking, Arthur North told you about it. William Lane nodded: He told me this morning. Charlotte Lane:
William Lane smiled and said, L, this has nothing to do with you. As for her, she only exposed a couple of tables at the wedding. She wanted to work with you, and you didnt agree. You have taught her a lesson, and thats enough. We are not murderers, and we cant just casually take someones life. Charlotte Lane, her hands in her pockets, leaned against the wall and looked at William Lane. Moreover, you have already had someone monitor her. Without your person, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to rescue Amelia Smith, William Lane continued. Charlotte Lane remained silent.
William Lane said, L, dont always take responsibility upon yourself. Even if you make a mistake, the entire Lane Family will have your back. You dont have to worry, just do whatever you want. Charlotte Lane lifted the corner of her mouth. William Lane touched her head and said, Never say sorry to your brother again. In my eyes, there is no mistake you or Olivia could make. Mhm. William Lane smiled gently, then said, Is Arthur North giving me dagger looks? Charlotte Lane turned her head to look, and Arthur North looked normal. He even smiled at her from the distance: Daggering. William Lane shook his head, Men. Amelia Smith stayed in the hospital for three days. Before being discharged, she went to see her mother. Her mothers name was Andrews Lily. She was also in the same hospital but on a different floor. When Amelia Smith went to visit her, she saw that Evan Smith was about to leave. The two met outside the elevator. As Evan Smiths arm was broken, the ster had not been removed yet. However, the injuries in other ces were almost healed.
The wound on his face had long disappeared. Amelia Smith had changed her clothes and put on long sleeves to cover the bandaged part on her left hand. But Evan Smith still saw it immediately. Because the weather was so hot, very few people wore long-sleeved clothes. He nced down and saw a bit of gauze sticking out of her sleeve: Sister, what happened? Are you injured? Whats wrong with your arm? Evan Smith suddenly stepped forward, nervously asking. He wanted to touch her, but he was afraid of hurting her and didnt dare to move her. Is it you, what did you do to her! Evan Smith suddenly looked at William Lane, ring at him fiercely. William Lane calmly met his gaze. Amelia Smith interrupted their staring: Im fine, just identally injured. Its been a few days, and its almost healed. Hows your arm? Ill get the ster removed in a couple of days. Evan Smith looked at her arm, Is it a serious injury? Where is it hurt? What caused it? Not serious, its fine. Amelia Smith said, Did you just go see Mom? How is she? Shes in good spirits. Evan Smith said, The doctor gave her medicine, and her leg doesnt hurt anymore, so shes feeling much better. After he finished speaking, he looked at William Lane again.
Seeing Evans cautious eyes, William Lane voluntarily stepped aside, letting the siblings talk. Seeing him walk away, Evan Smith took Amelia Smiths left arm and walked further away, finding a quieter ce: Sister, I did some research on him. Hes the Young Master of the Lane family. Its the same Lane family behind your Dance Association, the one Teacher Ortiz belongs to. Yes, I know. Amelia Smith said. Is he bullying you? Or forcing you? Evan Smith knew that his sister was beautiful and easily attracted unwanted attention. He was worried, especially when dealing with someone as powerful as William Lane. Amelia Smith turned to look at William Lane. William Lane smiled at her like he was teasing a child. Amelia Smith turned her gaze back and said: Evan, he hasnt bullied me, he hasnt forced me, and hes been good to me. Weve got the certificate. After listening to her words, Evan Smith was unresponsive for nearly a minute. Finally, he responded, his face pale and somewhat frightening: Sister, you married him? Of your own volition? Amelia Smith nodded. Evan Smith opened and closed his mouth, then suddenly said, Hes so old! He Amelia Smith: !!!
How can he be happy about His voice was too loud, and Amelia Smith quickly covered his mouth: Lower your voice. Evan Smith stopped talking. Amelia Smith let go of him and said, Hes not old. Hes just a little older, but age is just a number. Why measure it by a number? But Were already married. Amelia Smith interrupted him. Evan Smith swallowed the words he wanted to say. The siblings fell silent for a while, then Evan Smith asked, Did he take care of Moms hospitalization? Amelia Smith nodded. Ever since Evan arrived at the hospital, he felt something strange. He asked the doctor, but the doctor didnt say anything. He suspected if it was William Lane who did all these things. Then, thinking about William Lane, he wondered if his sister was being bullied. But the two had actually gotten their certificate. With William Lanes status, if it were just for fun, why get the certificate? Sister, do you like him? Evan Smith asked. Amelia Smith nodded again: I like him. Ive liked him for many years. Evan Smith looked at her, saw her expression, and knew she wasnt lying. So he had nothing more to say. After another moment of silence, he said, Do you know where Dad is? Mom said she hasnt seen him for several days. Amelia Smiths face grew colder: I know. Seeing her expression, Evan Smith suddenly became nervous: Did he do something again? Mmm. Evan Smith thought of William Lane, his whole body tense, and he swallowed hard: He Hes at the ce where Im staying now. Amelia Smith said, Ill talk to him, and then you can take him away. Evan Smith sighed with relief, and after a pause said: Okay. Chapter 643 - 644: Extra Twenty-One: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Nineteen) Chapter 644: Extra Twenty-One: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Neen) Amelia went to see Lily, but William Lane didnt follow her in, he waited outside for her. Daniel left, but after a while, he came back and looked at Roy Madison waiting by the entrance and said: Lets talk. Roy Madison looked up at him, feeling that this kid was really interesting: What do you want to talk about? Chat about you and my sister. Daniel said. What if I dont want to talk to you? Roy said. Daniels face darkened. William Lane smiled and said, Go over there and dont disturb your sister. Daniel followed him. Inside the ward, Amelia sat on a chair beside the bed. Seeing Amelia, Lily sat on the bed and happily said: Wang Di, your brother told me that you asked someone to get me a hospital bed.
Yes. Amelia hasnt been home for two or three years, but she sends Lily some money every two months. Lily looked much older than Amelia remembered, possibly due to illness and torment, or maybe Maxs wastefulness, she aged quickly. She was actually two or three years younger than Max, but now she seemed even older than him. How do you feel? Amelia asked. The doctor prescribed a new type of elixir, its very effective. Lily said, He said that although its difficult to curepletely, proper care and medication wont have too much impact on my body. Yes. Amelia said, Take good care of yourself in the future. I will. After not seeing each other for a long time, and recalling the past, they didnt know what to say to each other. After a moment of silence, Lily asked, Wang Di, do you know what Daniel is doing in Imperial Capital? Amelia looked at her and paused for a moment: I dont know. We rarely talk. But hes your brother Lily made eye contact with Amelia and fell silent for a moment, You should keep in touch more. Its good to have each others support. Okay. Amelia agreed. Lily sat quietly on the bed for a while and then continued, Do you know how his arm got injured? And his facial injuries? His arm was in a cast, it must have been broken. How did he get injured so badly? He left right after his college entrance exam. I asked him what he was doing outside but he never told me. In just under two months, I saw him again, and he was injured like that. Where was his face injured? Amelia asked, When I first saw him, he wasnt injured. It has already healed and is not very noticeable now. Lily said worriedly, Others may not notice it, but how could I not as his mother? His forehead and cheekbones if you look closely, you can see that the skin is different from other ces, it must be due to an injury Lilys words suddenly trailed off. It was because she finally noticed the injury on Amelias face. The abrasions on her forehead and cheekbones. Roy didnt know what kind of medicine William Lane used, but he applied it twice a day, and the wound quickly healed.
However, it was not difficult to see the small cuts and slight redness. Amelia knew that Daniel had also noticed the wound on her face. He had been staring intently at her wound when they met earlier. But the gauze wrapped around her arm was even more worrying to him. Later, when she mentioned her marriage, Daniel didnt ask about it. But she was sure that her mother hadnt noticed at first.
The sentence how can a mother not know? suddenly became somewhat ironic. Amelia, I what happened to the wound on your face? Lily was a bit flustered, stuttering as she spoke. Amelia Smith smiled and said, Evan Smith had a fight, and I got hurt when he started. A fight? Lily immediately forgot about Amelias injury, Why did he fight? Its so serious, didnt the other party give an exnation? Amelia looked at her. Seeing the worried look on Lilys face, Amelia remained calm, and Lily became a little uneasy: I, I She moved forward and reached for Amelias hand. Amelias right hand was pulled forward a bit, and the gauze on her arm was exposed from her sleeve: Amelia, what happened to your arm? Did you get hurt? What happened to you and your brother? Im fine. Amelia withdrew her hand and ced it on herp. You just stay in the hospital and dont worry about the medical expenses. Ill cover them. As for the medicine dont be reluctant to take it. These drugs are covered by medical insurance, so Ill take care of them. Amelia Lily looked at her and said, What do you mean? Mom Amelia swallowed, trying to make her voice sound normal. You and Max Smith gave birth to me, and no matter what, you raised me for thirteen years. I will repay the favor. Amelia, why are you saying this? Lilys expression became more and more painful. Amelia looked down and whispered, When I was fourteenMax Smith wanted to sell me off, and you knew about it.
I knew about it, but I stopped it, I really did. Lily said, You are my flesh and blood, how could I do such a thing? But in the end, you consented. Amelias voice trembled a bit, I heard your conversation that night, and how else do you think I ran away the next day? Amelia I, I I can understand your favoritism. Amelia said, You love your son, and for us, especially for me, the daughter who was born with so much disappointment, its natural to be unwanted. But Amelia raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from her face, I was only fourteen at the time. You sold me to that man, knowing what would happen to me? Even our neighbors, who watched me grow up, couldnt bear to treat me like that. Lily suddenly covered her face and cried. This time you came to the Imperial Capital, Max Smith called me to your inn. Amelia said. Lily took her hand and looked at her, I didnt know about this time, I really didnt know. Amelia, believe me, I really didnt know. I believe you. Amelia said. Then where is Max Smith? Youll see him. Amelia looked at Lily for a while and then wrote down a number for her using the pen and paper on the hospital bedside table, You should cooperate with the doctors in the hospital. If you need anything, call me. When she finished, Amelia stood up. Lily seemed to sense that Amelia might never see them again, so she immediately grabbed Amelias arm.
Her grip was right on the wound, and Amelia winced. Amelia! I was wrong, I was really wrong. Lily tightened her grip, I will make it up to you, I will make it up to you in the future. Amelias face turned a few shades paler, and she turned to look at her, Im past the point of needing to be made up for. Ive grown up with too many times when I needed parental love, but you both ignored me. My only memory of you is when I was little, and you held me and taught me how to carve things. I was so happy, and every time I dreamed, I would dream about that moment. My mind was twisted, only remembering that scene, longing for it. But what was the purpose behind it? I was seven, and you made me carve things day and night because it could make money, and the money could buy new clothes for Evan Smith. He was four, and he had piles of new clothes, while at seven, I wore clothes that had been worn by my older sister and my second sister. Lilys tears kept falling, and the hand that was holding Amelias arm slowly let go. If it hadnt been for Grandma Skyler from our neighbors house, you guys wouldnt even have wanted me to go to school. Amelia suddenly felt that it was pointless to say these things and gently took a breath, Our rtionship can only be like this. I dont expect anything from you, and you dont expect anything from me. The most I can do is try to help financially, and thats it. Chapter 644 - 645: Side Story Twenty-two: Inked Plum Fragrance (Twenty) Chapter 645: Side Story Twenty-two: Inked Plum Fragrance (Twenty) Amelia Smith left the ward without seeing William Lane, she walked towards the elevator and saw William Lane walking back. William Lane noticed her eyes were red and walked closer and hugged her. Amelia struggled slightly: There are people around. Where are the people? William Lane lightly kissed her face, Besides, whats wrong with hugging my own wife? Does it bother them? Ameliaughed: You seem a bit childish. Childish is good; it makes me look young so that others wont think Im old. Who said youre old? Your young brother. William Lane replied. Hmm? Amelia raised her head to look at him, Didnt he leave? He just left. William Lane held her face and rubbed it, He said if I dont treat you well, he will find someone to get rid of me.
Amelias mouth twitched: Then what? After that William Lane said, I told him that all future assassination attempts will be on his head. Is it that dangerous? Amelia asked. William Lane nodded. Can I still escape now? William Laneughed: Its toote. You dont have a chance to run anymore. Amelia smiled and leaned back on William Lanes shoulder and rested for a while. William Lane touched her head and let her rest for a while before saying, Lets go home. Okay. William Lane went to hold her left hand, his gaze passed over her right arm and saw blood on her sleeve. He immediately grabbed her right hand and rolled up her sleeve to look. Blood had seeped through the wound, through the gauze, and onto her clothes. William Lane frowned: What happened? I identally squeezed it just now. Amelia said softly. William Lane nced at her and led her by the left hand upstairs to find the doctor: Doesnt it hurt? You were injured, and didnt speak up. Do you n to wait until we get home and thene back? Amelia pursed her lips: I-I didnt know that I was bleeding. Dont you know it hurts? William Lane said seriously. Amelia fell silent. Seeing that she stopped talking and looked down, William Lane paused and softened his tone: Was I too fierce?
Amelia looked at him and shook her head: Its okay, just like Dad. William Lane: ?????? At this moment, Amelia actually grinned. William Lane felt like he was going to faint from anger. He let go of her hand, and lightly patted her butt.
Amelia subconsciously covered her butt, her face turned beet red. She looked around to make sure no one was there, then red at William Lane and whispered, What are you doing! Teaching a disobedient child a lesson. William Lane said solemnly, What are you blushing for? Amelia covered her face again: Youre the one blushing. After saying that, she walked away first. William Lane smiled as he looked at her retreating figure. The wound on her arm had only cracked open the skin, which wasnt severe. After applying medicine and re-dressing the wound, William Lane and Amelia went home. Max Smith was locked up in the vi and Amelia did not go to see him. William Lane took care of that; how he did it, whether he hit Max, or anything else, Amelia never asked. Even when they sent Max away, Amelia did not show her face. She knew that William Lane had sent Max to where Daniel Harrison had temporarily rented a ce. William Lane told her that as long as she didnt want to see Max, he would never appear in her life again. The couple had a meal together at noon, and William Lane had to go to thepany. He wanted to take Amelia with him, but she refused. So, he took her to the study: If you get bored, you can read the books here. You can read any of them. If theyre too high up, just ask James to get them for you.
Amelia looked at the books on the three walls in the study, her eyes shining. She casually nced at some of the books titles and then looked at William Lane: I might not understand some of these. You can save the parts you dont understand, and Ill exin them when I get back. William Lane looked at her lovingly. Did you read all of them? Amelia looked at him with admiration. Almost. William Lane looked at her clear eyes, couldnt help it, and pinned her against the bookshelf for a kiss. While Amelias mind was still in the ocean of knowledge, William Lanes thoughts had already drifted to creating life and contributing to procreation. Amelia, feeling dazed, subconsciously pushed him away, but she couldnt, and she was soon under William Lanes control. After a long time, William Lane finally let her go when he felt he might not be able to go to work in the afternoon if he didnt stop. Amelias face was so red that it looked like it would bleed, she lowered her head and didnt dare to look at William Lane. William Laneughed, helped her button up the front of her clothing, and patted her head: Im going to work now. Okay. Amelia answered softly. It wasnt until a few minutes after William Lane had left that she slowly moved. Then she stiffly walked to the bookshelf on the other side of the room.
She stood by the bookshelf, keeping her hands on her chest, feeling that every part of her body was hot. But the ce where her hands were covering seemed to be even hotter. His kiss hadnded there Amelias efficiency in the afternoon wasnt high; for the first two hours, her mind was filled with William Lane and she couldnt calm down. Later on, she slowly started reading the book. William Lane did note back for dinner. He had been busy at thepany until after ten oclock before he returned. When he came back, Amelia was waiting for him in the living room. Youre back? Amelia stood up, Aunt made soup, want some? As soon as William Lane came back and saw her waiting in the living room, he felt less tired: You were waiting for me? Yes. William Lane leaned over and kissed her eyes: Dont wait for me in the future. Go to bed early.
When I go to work, I definitely wont wait for you. Amelia said. Then have a good rest these few days. William Lane rubbed her hair, You dont have to wait for me. Amelia didnt answer, and followed him inside: Do you want to drink the soup? Aunts soup is delicious. Alright. They both drank the soup together. William Lane went to the guestroom to take a shower, and Amelia helped Aunt clean up before going back to her room to prepare for bed. Just as she was about to sleep, someone knocked on the door. She got up to open the door and saw William Lane wearing a sleeping robe standing outside. He had just taken a shower, dried his hair, and his body smelled of shower gel. Whats wrong? Amelia asked. William Lane smiled: Come to sleep. What? Amelia froze and couldnt believe what she had just heard, Come what? We, as a couple, have been separated for a long time. Its time for us to sleep together. Amelia stared with wide eyes, unable to react, and even felt like running away. Seeing her about to run, William Lane bent down, grabbed her waist, and carried her into the bedroom, kicking the door shut with his foot. Chapter 645 - 646: Side Story 23: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (21) Chapter 646: Side Story 23: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (21) William Lane softly ced Amelia Smith on the bed, worried that she might strain her injured arm. Amelia sat on the bed, looking at William in a daze. William leaned over, looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Is it okay if we sleep together? He forcefully entered the room but acted like a gentleman once inside, gently asking for her permission. But, but Amelia, we got married, William interrupted. Its only right, rational, and legal for us to sleep together. Amelia, looking into his eyes, felt as if there were stars in them, gently intoxicating her. So, she inexplicably nodded her head. William smiled, lifting the quilt on the other side to tuck her in. However, Amelia stiffly resisted him. William found it amusing and asked, Whats wrong? You seem to be pushing yourself.
I, Im not. I just dont want to sleep yet. You sleep first. Ill sleepter, Amelia said, her eyes darting around. Williamughed, What if I fall asleep and you run away? I, I wont run. Do you think what you just said is credible? William asked. Yes. William chuckled, picked her up horizontally, and tucked her into the nket. Then he got into bed and held her in his arms. Feeling the warmth of his skin, Amelias body became as stiff as a wooden nk. William kissed her lips gently and ced her injured arm on his waist, softly saying, Rx and sleep. I wont do anything. Amelia responded softly and closed her eyes. William looked at her trembling eyshes for a while, then used the remote control by the head of the bed to turn off all the lights in the room. As they plunged into darkness, Amelia slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she wasnt sure if her fear of the dark was greater than the sense of safety that darkness could hide everything. All she knew was that she was extremely tense, her body stiff with anxiety. The distance between them was so close that she could hear Williams heartbeat and feel the heat of his body. Her arm under her neck, being used as a pillow, might be numb if she pressed it too hard. And she dared not move the hand resting on his waist even slightly. Amelia. Huh? Amelias thoughts were floating in chaos when she suddenly heard him call her name, causing her reply to be several times louder than usual.
In the darkness, Williamsughter rang out. Amelia curled up, wanting to hide herself. William pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head. It seems my image in your heart isnt very good. No, Amelia whispered.
Then what are you nervous about? William asked. I already told you I wont do anything. If I want to do something, Ill notify you in advance. Deal? Amelia didnt respond. Feeling a thinyer of sweat forming on her body, William sighed silently to himself. After a while, he suggested, How about we chat for a bit? What about? You tell me. I dont know, Amelias voice was so quiet that it sounded like a child secretly whispering, afraid of being caught in the dark. William raised the corner of his mouth, gently patting her back. Tell me about your childhood. Amelia hesitated for a moment and resisted the urge to protest. Theres nothing interesting to tell. I want to know more about you and understand the past eighteen years I missed, William said gently. Amelia hesitated for a while longer before speaking, Theres really not much to say. I remember that ever since I could hold a carving knife, I started working with it. When I got a little older, I was able to carve some things to sell. I took care of my younger brother every day while preparing meals and carving things. Later, when I went to school, I carved fewer things. And eventer Max Smith hit me because I couldnt sell many of my carvings and the number was getting smaller. After that, I stopped. As he patted her back, Williams hand stiffened for a moment. Getting punished is normal for kids, Amelia continued, gripping Williams sleeping robe. In our vige, itsmon for parents to chase their children all over the vige with a broom, hitting them. William didnt say anything.
Ive been rebellious since I was little, Amelia went on. The more Max wanted me to do something, the more I would defy him. He asked me to learn to cook, so I refused. He wanted me to carve things, so I stopped doing that. He didnt want me to go to school, so I got up early every day to go. I sought help from all the teachers and the principal, and they all visited my home. So, I managed to graduate from elementary school with their help. Your grades were good, William said. You investigated me, Amelia replied. Im sorry, William apologized. I just wanted to know more about you. I looked into your school records. Amelia didnt mind, It doesnt matter if you investigate me. Im innocent. William gently caressed her hair. Having good elementary school grades doesnt mean much. Everything you learn is simple, Amelia said. Your middle school grades were also very good, William said. Your grades are still good now. Evan Smith scored 701 in the college entrance exam, making him the provincial champion in your province this year. If he can achieve that, you must be even more amazing. My brother is very intelligent, Ameliaughed. Why do you sound so condescending? William chuckled, Its just that I resent him for wanting to get rid of me You and your siblings have a good rtionship. My sisters and brothers get along well, Amelia confirmed. Maybe its because I took care of Evan more, and our ages were simr. He was the most directly affected by the unfair treatment I received. So, his feelings for me are deep, and hes always trying to make up for it. For now, I find him more bearable, William said. Elder Brother, you can be quite childish, Amelia teased.
We can talk about something more mature, William said, moving his arm from underneath her neck to touch her ear. As long as you dont run. Um, lets stay childish instead. Being childish is better, Amelia said quickly. William smiled, So, what happened next? Why did you stop going to school? My mothers health was bad, and Max got into gambling. My two sisters got married, bringing in 200,000 dors that Max squandered away, Amelia exined. Evan needed to go to school and live. I had to be thebor force. As for how Max caused a scene at school and forced her to stop attending, she left that part out. Later The first thing I did after dropping out was to change my name, Amelia continued. Then, I met you, Elder Brother. Did you get into trouble when you went home? William asked. No, they only cared about Evan. As for me, as long as I could bring in money, they didnt care what I did, Amelia said nonchntly. William held her tighter, Amelia, Im sorry. I shouldve taken you back with me. During the time that Max was locked up here, he was beaten by James Lane and questioned about many things. Heter reported the information to William. William knew that not long after they had met when she was fourteen, Max tried to sell Amelia to pay off his debts. Elder Brother, if you had taken me back then, I wouldve thought you were a bad person, Amelia said sincerely. William:
I wouldve called the police when we were on our way, Amelia added. William was silent for a moment before rolling over and pinning her beneath him, Call the police now. Chapter 646 - 647: Side Story Twenty-Four: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (22) Chapter 647: Side Story Twenty-Four: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (22) What are you doing? Like a frightened rabbit, Amelia Smith pressed her left hand against William Lanes shoulder, trying to push him away. You said you wouldnt do anything. William Lane gently gripped her right wrist, preventing her right arm from moving. I also said that I would inform you in advance if I wanted to do something. William Lane pinched her face, Im informing you now. I dont agree. I said I would inform you, I didnt say I needed your agreement. William Laneughed. Amelia Smith: you, how can you be so shameless. Teach you a lesson. William Lane removed her hand from his shoulder and moved closer to her. Dont trust a mans words. You William Lanes hand went around to the back of her neck, supporting her as he kissed her, silencing her words. Amelia Smith was too tense, her body limp, but the left hand gripping the quilt kept tightening.
Gradually, she could not breathe, as if drowning. She let out a soft hum, and William Lane let her go, kissing her moist lips twice before burying his face in her neck. One minute, two minutes passed. Amelia Smith listened to William Lanes unsteady breathing, and gently moved her right wrist, which he still held. Elder brother? Hmm? William Lanes voice was hoarse, filled with heavy desire. You, you Amelia Smith swallowed nervously. Arent yougoing to continue? William Lane bit her neck lightly. It wasnt heavy, but Amelia Smith still let out a quiet cry. William Lane kissed the ce he had bitten again: Its not a safe day, and we dont have anything prepared at home. If we continue, you might get pregnant. I, I Amelia Smith wanted to hide herself again, but William Lane was pressing down on her, so she couldnt hide. Howhow do you know? We live together, how could I not know? William Lane replied. Amelia Smiths eyes darted around in the darkness, remaining silent for a while before finally speaking: Dont youwant a child? I just want to raise you. William Lane propped himself up and kissed her. When you want one, we can discuss it. Amelia Smith looked down: Thank you, elder brother. Theres nothing to thank me for. William Lane got up, stood by the bed, and tied the belt of his sleeping robe. Where are you going? Amelia asked. Taking a shower. William Lane covered her with the quilt. You sleep first. The word shower floated around in Amelias mind before she realized what he meant. She turned over in bed, covering herself with the quilt. After rolling around inside the quilt twice, she finally covered her head, curling up without moving.
As William Lanes showering time lengthened, Amelias time spent pretending to be dead also increased. After a long time, William Lane came out after finishing his shower and found Amelia curled up inside the quilt. Just a small figure on the bed. He walked over quietly and gently pulled the quilt open, intending to adjust her sleeping position. As soon as he touched her, he discovered she wasnt asleep.
Not asleep? With a resigned air, Ameliay t on the bed: Hmm. William Lane brushed the hair from her face,y down beside her, and hugged her in his arms: Sleep. Itste. Hmm. In a state of broken indifference, Amelia fell asleep quickly in William Lanes embrace. Watching her fall asleep, William Lane smiled, pulled her closer, and went to sleep as well. Amelia Smith had a dream, one she often had since she was young. She often dreamt of a dark, lightless forest, damp, gloomy, shrouded in thick fog. It was the fear of darkness and the unknown. Every time she had that dream, Amelia Smith tried to walk out of the forest, but she never could. The farther she went, the more irrational her fear became. The more she walked, the deeper she sank into the forest.
But today, the dream changed. As usual, she desperately tried to make her way out, but unlike before, she emerged from the dark forest and saw the light. She ran towards the light and the moment she stepped out of the forest, she suddenly turned back as if sensing something. The dark forest slowly disappeared and finally transformed into a person who looked exactly like her. The person smiled at her, waved, and said, Once you speak it, you can let it all go. Move forward, and from now on, youll have a new life. Hold his hand, and every day will be good. Sunlight streamed into the room, making the air-conditioned room cozy and warm. Amelia Smithy in bed, the shadow of her eyshes resting on the bridge of her nose. After a while, her eyshes twitched, and she opened her eyes. The sunlight outside was good, filling the room with a clean, bright scent. Amelia Smith stared nkly for a moment before she reached out and felt for someone beside her, but there was no one there. She propped herself up and looked all around the room, but there was no one in sight. She then nced at the time on the bedside table. It was 9:30 already.
.. Indeed, resting days were just a waste of time. Amelia Smith sat up and noticed a sticky note affixed to the head of the bed, with a small red flower next to it. The note read: [I am going to the Research Institute. Come downstairs for breakfast when you wake up. The small red flower is a reward for you. I hope Amelia Smith will be happier today than yesterday.] Amelia Smith held the note for a while and picked up the flower, then sheughed. Today was indeed better than yesterday. Because of her arm injury, Amelia Smith was ordered by William Lane to rest at home, her carving knives, even the backup ones, were confiscated. He even requested leave for her from the school. Amelia Smith could only read at home to cushion her anxiety. Not learning any new knowledge, not practicing skills, and not earning any money all caused her anxiety. So, she sat at the railing on the second floor, stretching her legs while reading a book. Life was supposed to be peaceful, but half an hour before lunch, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz arrived. Amelia Smith was sitting upstairs, stretching her legs while reading a book. After a while, she switched legs. As soon as she ced her leg over the other, she caught a glimpse of someone standing in the living room downstairs out of the corner of her eye.
She looked up from her book and stared harder at the figure. Not knowing when they arrived, Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz stood in the living room, looking up at her. For a brief moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, cleaving her in two. It seemed like zombies had eaten her brain, and all the air in her lungs was sucked out. She stared at them wide-eyed for a moment, immediately put her leg down, stood up properly, and straightened her clothes. She felt fortunate to have changed out of her pajamas after hesitating a few seconds when she woke up. Afterposing herself, Amelia Smith snapped back to her senses, hurried downstairs, and almost tripped on her foot on the stairway. Slow down, Sophie Ortiz said softly. Amelia Smith stood obediently in front of Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, bowed and said, Chief Lane, Teacher Ortiz. Chapter 647 - 648: Side Story Twenty-Five: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (23) Chapter 648: Side Story Twenty-Five: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (23) Andrew Lane looked kindly at her, but there was some stiffness in his kindly expression. This was also his first time meeting his daughter-inw, and he was quite nervous, unlike when he met his son-inw and only wanted to hit him. Sophie Ortiz had been getting along with Amelia Smith for two years and always liked her, naturally happy to see her. She grabbed Amelias hand and smiled, Amelia, dont be nervous, we just heard you were injured and came to see you. Ah, yes, yes, dont be nervous, dont be nervous. Andrew Lane kindly echoed. Amelias pupils couldnt help but widen. Why did theye here directly to see her? Did they know she was living here? And what about her rtionship with Roy Madison You asked for leave from the Dance Association, and it was Roy and I who asked. Sophie Ortiz exined. Amelia suddenly realized. Thats right, her leave could only have been requested by Roy Madison. It had been so many days, she hadnt even thought about this issue. I, I Sophie Ortiz pulled her towards the sofa: We originally wanted to visit you in the hospital, but Roy said it wouldnt be good for your recovery and wouldnt let us go.
Amelia stiffly followed Sophie to the sofa and sat down with her. Another thunderbolt hit her head. What?! Is this how Roy Madison exined things to his family?! What kind of image has he created for her in his home?! No, its not like that. Amelia managed to make a well-behaved smile, My brother was just joking. It was just a minor injury, and Im sorry to have made Teacher Ortiz and Chief Lane worry. Upon hearing Amelias address to Roy Madison, Sophie raised her eyebrows slightly, Call us uncle and aunt. Why are you being so polite? Uncle, aunt. Amelia obediently corrected herself. Andrew Lane immediately responded. Sophie grabbed her hand, Hows your recovery? Roy said it was a concussion, you must be very careful with this and not neglect it. I was saying that you should stay in the hospital for a few more days, but you came back in just two days. Roy is really unreliable. Teacher Ortiz no, Aunt. The doctor said it was fine and that I could be discharged. Thats why we came back. Amelia paused, then suddenly remembered something, Uncle, aunt, what would you like to drink? Sophie held her shoulder and didnt let her move, No need to drink anything. You are still injured, just rest. Its okay, its already much better. Amelia insisted, I can go back to the Dance Association in a couple of days. No need to rush. Sophie held her right hand and carefully looked at the gauze wrapped around her arm, Youve been working without a break for the past two years, so just take advantage of these few days to rest. Amelia nodded in agreement. As Sophie looked at her, she happily asked, Amelia, how did you meet Roy? I, we Amelia looked at Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, feeling as if they were both observing some rare species. Their eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity. She exined, Six years ago, my brother helped me with something.
Six years ago? Sophie eximed in surprise. Andrew Lane couldnt help but cough. Was his son really such a beast? How old was the young girl six years ago that he dared to have an idea about her? We first met six years ago. Amelia looked at their expressions and continued, My brother helped me a lot. We only met again four yearster. Andrew Lane was visibly relieved.
Thank goodness, his son could still be considered a decent person. Sophie thought for a while and recalled the timeline, Did you meet at the Dance Harmony Gathering? Amelia nodded. Sophie suddenly chuckled. Amelia felt a chill in her heart, thinking she had said something wrong. Sophie patted her hand, Its okay, its not your fault. Its Roy. Huh? Amelia looked like a frightened rabbit, well-behaved, a bit nervous, and a bit confused. I wanted to introduce you to William Lane at the Dance Harmony Gathering back then. Sophie Ortiz recalled the scene, wanting William to experience his mothers ultimate love, But he acted as if he didnt know you and had no interest whatsoever. And what happened next? What happened? By the time I heard the news again, the two of you had already gotten your marriage licenses. Amelia Smith blinked, her mind still stuck on Sophiesment about introducing her to William. Amelia, lets go, Sophie said, Well head home and let William live here on his own. Amelia, pulled to stand by her left hand, was puzzled: ??????? Dont tell him, let hime home to an empty house tonight, Sophie said. Amelia was confused, what just happened? Why are they suddenly going back to the Lane Family?
Teacher Ortiz, I, its too much of a bother. We are all family, no need to worry about bothering anyone, Sophie pulled her left hand, looked around, and said, Home has everything, no need to bring any daily necessities. Do you have anything else to take? I You dont want to go? You dont like your uncle and aunt? Sophie suddenly asked. Andrew Lane pursed his lips trying not tough, keeping a straight face. Amelia immediately responded to the huge usation: No, no, no. Do you have anything to take? Sophie asked. No, Amelia replied. Sophie picked up the book Amelia had ced on the tea table and handed it to Andrew: Take this book, so you dont lose your ce. There are many books at home, and you can read them whenever you want. Grandfather is at home, so if you have any questions, you can ask him. Amelia, feeling dizzy, was whisked away by Sophie and Andrew in less than twenty minutes and taken by car back to the Lane Family home. When William Lane returned home from work, he saw Amelia and Christopher rk sitting side by side under the flower shelf in the courtyard, each on a small stool, obediently sitting next to Old Master Lane while he lectured them. William Lane was initially worried but decided to stand at a distance and watch for a while without intervening. It wasnt until a mosquito flew by his ear that he made his way over and called out to Old Master Lane: Grandfather.
Wearing reading sses, Old Master Lane looked up at William upon hearing his voice and said, Back already? Yes, William replied. Seeing William, Amelias expression turned to that of someone who had just spotted their savior. Uncle, Christopher rk called out. William first smiled at Amelia before turning to Christopher: How did you end up here by yourself? Christopher replied, I came from the Court Music Academy to visit my grandparents and great-grandfather. Auntie is helping me with my summer vacation homework. Amelias face turned red, and she nced at William. Auntie? Fine, but whats the meaning of Little Auntie? William asked while pouring a cup of tea for Old Master Lane. Its because Little Auntie is younger, Christopher responded, Shes less than ten years older than me. Old Master Lane sipped his tea,ughing gently. Grinding his teeth, William said, Did you get bored of ticking people off at home, so you came here to do the same? Christopher leaned into Old Master Lane andughed. Old Master Lane patted his face gently.
Amelia couldnt help butugh along with them. William walked up behind her, pressing down on her head, Youreughing too. Amelia threw him a stealthy warning nce to stop being so hands-on in front of the elder family members. What? Youre being overbearing now, not allowing her tough? Old Master Lane asked. William let go of her head, sat down next to Amelia, feigning sadness, Understood, I have no ce in this home. Old Master Lane nodded gravely and said, Yes, you have a clear understanding of yourself. Amelia and Christopher both burst intoughter. Chapter 648 - 649: Side Story 26: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (24) Chapter 649: Side Story 26: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (24) Howe youre back so soon? Sophie Ortiz asked when she saw William Lane. I came back right after work. William Lane brought some fruit to Amelia Smith, then turned to Sophie Ortiz and said, You wish Ide home to find no one around? Sophie Ortiz narrowed her eyes as her maternal patience was wearing thin. William Lane quickly changed his tone, It was James who told me. But he only told me after I got off work. So, you all ganged up to trick me. And you too. William Lane looked at Amelia Smith. Sophie Ortiz unceremoniously smacked William Lane on the head, Whats the matter? Picking on people? How did we trick you? Say it if you dare. Mom, William Lane looked at Sophie Ortiz, Im all grown up now, and you still hit me on the head. How old are you? You are over thirty. Sophie Ortiz said, I have to remind you of this. William Lane: Amelia Smith was holding herughter on the side.
Amelia, if he bullies you, just call me. Sophie Ortiz looked at Amelia Smith, her tone turned gentle, Im going to help Aunt Cruz with cooking. Aunt, Ill help you. Amelia Smith stood up. No need. Sophie Ortiz said, Your hand is still injured, Rest well. We have plenty of people at home, I just want to join the fun. After Sophie Ortiz left, William Lane gave Amelia Smith a kiss. Amelia Smith quickly looked around. The living room was full of servants, but luckily no one was looking at them. She whispered, What are you doing? Restrain yourself, there are people around. William Lane smiled and ruffled her hair, Miss Amelia, enjoying yourself, huh? Yes. Amelia Smith said, Grandpa and the uncles and aunts are all very kind to me. Yeah, my status is falling drastically. William Laneughed, I didnt know my status in the family could be such low. Thats because they love you, thats why they are so kind to me. William Lane pinched her face, Its because youre good, youre outstanding, they like you. Amelia Smith loved the family atmosphere of the Lane family, it was something she had never experienced before and had fantasized about countless times. In the evening, Amelia Smith and William Lane stayed at the Lanes home. When she went back to her room to take a bath, William Lane went with Old Master Lane to his room. Whenever William Lane was at home, before going back to his room at night, he would either apany Old Master Lane back to his room, or go to Old Master Lanes room to check on him, before returning to his room. Amelia is a good girl. Old Master Lane sat on the bed, I chatted with her in the afternoon for a long time, she talks elegantly and is very sincere. She is a kind and smart girl, and she is also motivated. I also know a little about her family situation. William Lane poured a ss of water and put the medicine Old Master Lane had to take before bedtime in his hand. Old Master Lane took the medicine, Shes a girl with a hard life. Must treat her well. I know. When she marries into our family, it is the same as when L and Amelie married into other families. Old Master Lane said, L and Amelie have the Lane family as their backbone. Even if something happens in the future, the Lane family will always be behind them, they can always return to a home. But Amelia has none, she turns around and shes alone.
William Lane listened to Old Master Lanes words. Dont ever bully her. Old Master Lane said, There are too many variables in life, and so is love. Especially in todays society, with so many temptations in a colorful world. I know youre a good boy, what I said is just a possibility. Although William Lane and his siblings were all grown up, Old Master Lane was always concerned about them, offering advice for anything: In case there are any problems with your rtionship, dont do anything that wrongs her. Everything should be discussed and reasoned, and resolved peacefully. Ensure her future livelihood. Grandpa, I know.
Of course, my greatest hope is that you two stay together for a lifetime. Old Master Lane said, So, dont bully her, or make her suffer. We will. William Lane said. Old Master Laneughed, Im more worried about spoiling her, where will I get the heart to bully her? William Lane alsoughed, tacitly agreeing with Old Master Lanes words. Once Amelia Smith moved in, she stayed with the Lane family for a whole week and showed no signs of leaving. Even when Amelia Smith went to the Dance Association, she went with Sophie Ortiz. The people of the Dance Association thought Sophie Ortiz was taking on another student. After all, Amelia Smiths excellence was obvious to all, and Sophie Ortiz liked her very much. However after further inquiries, everyone found out that Sophie Ortiz was not taking on a student, but a daughter-inw. Once this matter became public in the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz was worried that Amelia Smith would feel burdened, so she talked to her about it after they got home. At home, Amelia Smith obediently agreed. Seeing how good-natured and soft-spoken Amelia Smith was, Sophie Ortiz still feared that she would be affected by those unpleasant rumors.
She still worried about her. However, a few dayster, Sophie Ortiz found that Amelia Smith was only soft-spoken to them. She could be very assertive. For the next few days, she remained calm and did not confront anyone who was making ill-bred remarks. Until she figured out who was leading the rumors and who they were following. Amelia Smith pulled that person from the practice room to the bathroom in front of more than a dozen people. They were both in the restroom for twenty minutes, when they came out, the other girl didnt look any different on the outside, but she was crying. And she was clearly afraid of Amelia Smith. Also, when someone asked her if Amelia Smith had beaten her, she adamantly denied it. Afterwards, this girl was good in front of Amelia Smith. No one knew what had happened. But they knew that after that, the distasteful words disappeared at least no one dared to say them openly anymore. Sophie Ortiz was curious and asked Amelia Smith what had happened in the bathroom. In front of them, Amelia Smith was still obedient and soft-spoken and looked easy to bully. But she actually answered honestly, I beat her up.
At that time, William Lane, L, Harton rk, and Amelie Quentin were all at home. Upon hearing her answer, they all looked at her simultaneously. Amelia Smith held a cup of hot water in her hand, and spoke softly, I did some research beforehand on where to hit her that would hurt but not physically harm her too much, and also scare her. The entire living room was silent. Amelia Smith continued, I also observed her personality and knew how to scare her most effectively. Were just young girls, very easy to scare. William Lane chuckled. L also smirked. Amelie Quentin picked up a cup from the coffee table and clinked it against Amelia Smiths, Sister-inw, cheers. So thats your style. Your appearance doesnt match your personality. I even thought Id scare you if I spoke too loudly. Turns out my sister-inw is also a veteran of the world. Amelia Smithughed ufortably. Sophie Ortiz gently patted Amelie Quentin on the head, What a bunch of nonsense. Amelie Quentin pouted. Andrew Lane said, This is good. It prevents her from being bullied outside. Right. Sophie Ortiz agreed, You cant stand anyones bullying, just do your thing, and have your family back you up. If anythinges up, let William handle it. Amelia Smiths heart warmed.
William Lane: He couldnt even remember thest time his mother called him William. Chapter 649 - 650: Side Story Twenty-Seven: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Five) Chapter 650: Side Story Twenty-Seven: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Five) After dinner, the family sat in the living room for a while before returning to their rooms. William Lane had some matters to attend to, so he went to the study room. An hourter, Amelia Smith came to knock on the door. She knocked three times, opened the door, and poked her head in. William looked up, and after seeing her, he smiled first: Not asleep yet? Can Ie in? Amelia Smith asked. Come here, William said. Amelia Smith came in, closed the door gently, then walked to the desk and sat down across from William, Youre not done yet? Almost, William responded, Anything up? Just a little thing. Amelia Smith clutched the bank card in her hand. Hmm?
Amelia Smith thought for a moment and said, My mom has been discharged from the hospital, and her health is in good condition now. Thank you, brother. I went to the hospital yesterday to get the bill from the doctor. I know the doctor you helped me find and the connections you used cant be repaid with money, but I can pay back the detailed fees on the bill. There are 20,000 here. Ill give you back a part of it now. For the rest, I can pay it back slowly with interest. William looked at her for a while, Amelia Elder brother, Im not trying to sever ties with you or insist on separating everything between us. Amelia Smith interrupted him, looking up at him with her bright eyes, I just feel that this part of the money shouldnt be your responsibility, even though this amount of money may not mean much to you. William looked into her eyes without speaking. Amelia Smith continued, If we had a good rtionship, it wouldnt matter if you paid the money. But we dont. And not just in this case, I also dont want you to be involved in any financial matters in the future. I want to take on it myself. William still did not speak. Amelia Smith licked her lips, paused, and said, Elder brother? Williams eyes moved, looking at her, Why are you so far away from me? Amelia Smith blinked, confused, ??? Over here. What are you going to do? Amelia Smith asked. What can I do? William said gently, Come here, be closer to me. Amelia Smith got up, walked around the desk, and stood beside him. William put his arm around her waist, made her sit on hisp, and kissed her on the cheek, Now that youve given me the money, do you still have any for yourself? I I kept some for myself. Amelia Smith said, Besides, I dont need to spend any money now since everything I eat, live, and wear are yours. Not mine, but ours. Everything now belongs to both of us, William said, So is the money you kept for yourself intended for buying medicine for your motherter on? Amelia Smith nodded. Silly girl. William pinched her face. Amelia Smiths hands rested on herp, slowly sping her fingers together, I dont know what other people would do in the face of such a family situation, how they would deal with it. But for me, thats the only way I can feel at ease. It doesnt seem to matter whether Im kind or not, but when theyre in trouble, I really cant just stand by and watch.
Yeah, I understand, William said, As long as youre happy, Ill support whatever you do. The premise is to protect yourself and not let yourself be wronged. Yes. Amelia Smith turned her head to look at William, then embraced his neck and leaned on his shoulder. William stroked her head, You can keep the money for now. When you have enough money to buy medicer on, you can give it back to me. Regarding this matter, William did not want to oppose Amelia Smith.
He understood her pride and stubbornness. So he agreed to her request in this matter. Its not possible. Amelia Smith leaned on his shoulder and said, I have to pay back some first. Otherwise, the interest will be too much, so its not cost-effective. William was dumbfounded for a moment beforeughing softly, Youre a sly one. Amelia Smith smiled. Sleepy? William asked. No. Amelia Smith got up, You go on with your work. Ill go back to my room. William held her waist and didnt let her go Im almost done. Just stay here with me for a while. My legs will numb, Amelia Smith said. No, they wont, William said, Youre light. Stay with me for a while. Alright. William epted Amelia Smiths 20,000, and three dayster, he gave her another card. He told Amelia, Use it for emergencies and thengive me some pocket money.
You dont need pocket money from me, Amelia Smith said, biting an apple. Yes, I do, William said, Its especially nice when its given by mydy. Amelia Smith looked at him but didnt respond. William said, Take it. You decide how to use it. Ill ask you if I need money. Amelia took the card, but she didnt use any of the money on it, only used it to give William money. William always had money, but whenever he needed to use it, he had to ask Amelia Smith first. Eventer when he coborated with Kevin rk on a project, they had almost reached an agreement, but in the end, William said, I have no issue, but I need to consult mydy regarding the funds. After hearing this, Kevin rk cklisted all his contact information and ignored him for a week. After living in the Lane family for two weeks, due to Williams ulterior motives, one night after Amelia Smith finished her evening sses at school, he took her back to his vi. The whole Lane family, with Charlotte Lane and Kevin rking back with their children every few days, was always lively. But after returning to the vi, it felt especially quiet. Amelia Smith stood in the entranceway, looking at the deserted living room, and didnt want to go in.
Whats wrong? Dont recognize our home? William squatted down to change her shoes. Amelia Smith quickly squatted down as well, but William didnt let her help. Amelia Smith asked, Why did we suddenlye back? You dont seem very happy about it, William said. A little, Amelia Smith admitted. William smiled but didnt say anything. Amelia Smith had ate ss thatsted until over nine oclock, so when they got home, it was already past ten oclock. The two went straight upstairs to rest aftering back. Amelia Smith went to the master bedroom to take a bath, while William went straight to the guest room. However, by the time Amelia Smith came out of the bath, William had already finished and was waiting for her at the bathroom door. Amelia Smith was startled when she opened the door, What are you doing here? William smiled warmly, then held her horizontally in his arms and walked into the bedroom, saying at the same time, To answer the question you asked aftering home, why did we suddenlye back? Because I had ulterior motives and wanted to do something bad. Amelia Smiths eyes widened, looking at him in surprise and anxiety. Williams mouth curled up in a smile, Of course, if you feel we can do it in the old mansion, we dont have toe here.
No, we cant! I cant! Amelia Smith gripped Williams bathrobe, her demeanor and strength as if she were about to fight him. William smiled, Alright, I understand. Chapter 650 - 651: Side Story Twenty-Eight: Ink Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Six) Chapter 651: Side Story Twenty-Eight: Ink Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Six) After being ced on the bed, Amelia Smith stared nkly at William Lane. William Lane propped himself above her, moved closer, and kissed her eyes, Why are you looking at me like this? Trying to provoke my guilt? Really? Amelia Smith asked. No, William Lane turned off all the lights in the room, I wont feel guilty. In the darkness, all senses were infinitely magnified. William Lanes kissnded on her lips, scorching and making her tremble. William Lane sensed her tension and said softly, Dont be afraid. If you feel ufortable, tell me. Amelia Smith groped in the darkness to grasp William Lanes hand; after holding his fingers, she mewled softly like a kitten, Mm. William Lane exhausted all his patience and gentleness.
Fearing that Amelia Smith would be in pain, he took her to the bathroom after their struggles. With red eyes, Amelia Smith clung to William Lane and refused to let go. Finally, they both quickly rinsed together, then William Lane wrapped Amelia Smith in a bathrobe and brought her back to the guest room. Once he ced her on the bed, Amelia Smith no longer clung to him. She let go of him and burrowed into the quilt, refusing toe out. William Lane found it amusing and touched her head through the quilt, Does it hurt? No, Amelia Smiths voice was small and muffled by the quilt. Are you ufortable? William Lane asked. No, Amelia Smith answered again. Whats wrong then? William Lane, eyes dancing withughter, Oh, youre shy. Movement came from within the quilt, and by William Lanes judgment, Amelia Smith must have covered her ears. Then, the shy and indignant voice of Amelia Smith came from inside the quilt, Stop talking! Come out first, William Lane said, Its hot; do you n to stay this way all night? Amelia Smith ignored him. William Lane continued, What, you n to never see me again? Ill be fine after a while, Amelia Smith said, Stop talking! Fine, I wont speak, William Lane got on the bed, turned off the light, and forcefully pulled Amelia Smith from the quilt to hold her, This way, I cant see you either. Is that alright? Amelia Smith didnt speak and didnt resist. William Lane touched her head, Youre really like a child. Sleep.
When they slept until dawn, Amelia Smith woke up to find William Lane no longer in bed. She saw that it was still early, got up to wash, and as she was about to leave the room, William Lane came in from outside. Amelia Smith looked at him, Arent you going to work?
I asked for leave. ? Amelia Smith had a question mark floating above her head. For you, too, William Lane added. ! Amelia Smith had an exmation mark above her head, Why! Didnt sleep wellst night, so well take a day off, William Lane said. Amelia Smith knew that he was referring to certain things that happenedst night, But Im fine. William Lane raised his eyebrows, Really? Yeah, Amelia Smiths face reddened a bit, speaking softly, I dont think its necessary to ask for leave. Really? Really! Amelia Smith nodded seriously. William Lane smiled, Ive already asked for leave; just rx at home for a day. Amelia Smiths face crinkled in dissatisfaction. William Lane rubbed her face, Two options: stay at home obediently or leave after eating, and then James Lane will block you froming back.
Amelia Smith: William Lane took her hand and left the room, Lets go, eat first. Amelia Smith followed him quietly. After finishing breakfast, Amelia Smith went to the study to read, and William Lane took care of some matters. The two of them were quiet and undisturbed; the morning passed harmoniously. After lunch, William Lane told her to nap, but Amelia Smith refused and tried to return to the study. William Lane didnt let her go and brought her back to the master bedroom. Im really not tired, Amelia Smith said, When have you ever seen me nap? William Lane nodded and stopped, cornering her at the entrance, looking down at her. Amelia Smith pushed him with both hands, What are you doing? Are you really not tired? Not tired. William Lane leaned closer, Does it still hurt?
Amelia Smith met his gaze for two seconds, then immediately raised both hands to cover her burning ears and face, Why are you asking that! Just a little worried. William Lanes words were so sincere and concerned that Amelia Smiths shyness faded a bit; she honestly said, It doesnt hurt. William Lanes eyebrows slightly raised. He knew Amelia Smith had no guard up against him. As long as he wanted, he could hear any honest words from Amelia Smiths mouth. Even if it was something shy, shed still say it. William Lane looked down at her for a while, then lifted her and carried her to the bedroom. What are you doing? Amelia Smith was confused. William Lane kissed her ear and whispered two words gently, yet firmly. !!!! Amelia Smith was surprised, No, no, no, how I just ate, I havent digested yet. Its been almost an hour since you ate, who are you trying to fool? William Lane tossed her onto the bed. Amelia Smith wanted to run, but William Lane held her legs down.
Amelia Smith looked at him, You tricked me. Yes, William Lane admitted openly. Amelia Smith was speechless, and after a while, she said, Ill never trust you again. Try it, William Lane nipped her lip. From noon to evening, and from dawn until dusk. Amelia Smith was carried out from the bathroom, lying on the bed, moving her fingertips slightly. She wanted to cry but felt that it would be too exhausting, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep straight away Chapter 651 - 652: Side Story 29: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (27) Chapter 652: Side Story 29: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (27) Amelia Smith didnt have dinner and slept until the next day, after nine in the morning. When she opened her eyes, she looked at her bright room, and her head was spinning. She didnt know what year it was or what time it was. Who is she, and where is she? It took a while for her consciousness to catch up, and then she felt the chill on her leg. Amelia suddenly sat up and saw William Lane sitting at the foot of the bed with his head down, then she fell back into the bed: Ah. William heard her sigh and walked over to the head of the bed, putting the ointment and cotton swabs on the bedside table and sat on the bed. He pulled Amelias face out of the pillow, Whats wrong? My back hurts. Amelia said, looking pitiful. Williams hand reached into the nket to massage her waist: Its so thin. I didnt dare apply much force yesterday. Amelia couldnt believe what she heard and stared at him in shock. After a moment of silence, she asked, trembling, Say that again. Are you ming me? Is it my fault? Did you use less force? William leaned down and kissed her, My fault, all my fault. Dont be mad.
Amelia felt wronged. William whispered gently, Ill be more gentle next time. Really? William: Ill try my best. Amelia turned her head away and ignored him. After a while, she asked, What were you doing just now? Applying the medicine. What medicine? William massaged her waist slowly, Medicine to reduce bruising. It will make the marks on your skin fade faster. Oh. Are you hungry? asked William. I dont know. Ameliaid on the bed and sunk her head back into the pillow, mumbling, I cant feel anything. Dont sleep anymore, eat something, and then sleep. William propped up her face. Did you ask for leave for me? Amelia asked. I asked for leave the day before yesterday, William replied, for three days. Amelia opened her eyes and looked at him, thinking she was giving him a fierce look: Hmph! Williamughed and kissed her again, Ill go downstairs to get some food. Have a bite before going back to sleep. I wont. William squinted his eyes, Rebellious phase? Yeah. So what? Amelia smelled the fragrance of the pillow.
Its nothing. William rubbed her head, Just a little brat. Easy to handle. Youre the kid. Amelia muttered. At my age I cant be a kid anymore. William rubbed her head again, Be good, Im going to get some food. Oh.
Amelia rested at home for another two days, not even getting out of bed on the first day. She ate some food in the morning and slept again, then watched Charlottes TV series for a half-day in bed in the afternoon. It had been a long time since she had been this unproductive. The next day, William stayed with her and read books all day. When Amelia didnt understand something, William would exin it to her. William had initially wanted her to stay at home for another day. However, Amelia was too anxious about being unproductive and couldnt stay at home any longer. So, William took her to the Dance Association. In the evening, there was a ss. After William got off work from the Research Institute, he dropped her off at the school and went to work overtime at his family-ownedpany. After Amelias ss, he picked her up again. Are you tired? William brought her some fruits and handed them to her. Not tired. Amelia took the fruit box, opened it and ate a piece of watermelon, So sweet. William smiled and helped her fasten her seat belt before kissing her lips, Hmm, quite sweet. Amelia pursed her lips, then inserted a piece of watermelon for him. William ate it and started the car, This piece is not as sweet as yours.
Amelia chuckled, Nonsense, its obviously the same melon. You say that, but the melons must feel wronged. Williamughed too, then said after a while, Lets go back to the old mansion. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. Huh? Amelia looked at him. Its just domestic. William said, It will be quick, two days at most. After a pause, he said, Ill try to make it in two days. Why dont youe with me? Amelia shook her head, You be careful ande back soon. William sighed reluctantly, Okay. Since Amelia lived in the old mansion, someone from the old mansion would pick her up and drop her off at the Dance Association and school with Sophie Ortiz. So, William temporarily took James Lane away to deal with business matters in other ces. On the first night that Amelia slept alone at home, she could not fall asleep. No matter how she tossed and turned, she couldnt sleep. It wasnt until 2 AM that she fell asleep, but she woke up again, shortly before six oclock. After washing and rinsing, Amelia apanied the already awake Old Master Lane for a walk in the courtyard. Then, Amelia had breakfast and went to the Dance Association with Sophie Ortiz.
There was a small performance, and Sophie wanted Amelia to join her. Amelia hadnt been on stage for a long time due to various reasons and had mainly been practicing. This time, they were going to perform a repertoire they had rehearsed before. Amelia had rehearsed with them but hadnt been on stage with them. When Sophie asked her this time, Amelia readily agreed. But, as soon as she agreed, within ten minutes, Amelia received a phone call from her second sister. The sisters stayed in touch regrly, but they rarely called each other. So when Amelia saw her number at this time, she had a bad feeling. Once she answered the call, Eleanor Smith cried, Amelia, our eldest sister is in the hospital. She I I went to the hospital, and her inws wouldnt let me see her. I cant contact her either. I I called the police, but they treated it as a family dispute and left shortly after. It took Amelia a moment to recover from the shock, leaning against a wall, Which which hospital is she in? In in that private hospital in Wakefield County, Eleanor said through her tears, I dont know what to do? I dont know how she is right now. But she shes in the maternity department. But but she never told us anything. Dont worry, dont worry. Ill be right there, Amelia said, while walking out of the house. She hailed a taxi at the entrance, reported the destination, and left.
It wasnt until ten to fifteen minutes after hanging up the phone that Amelia came to her senses, remembering to ask for leave from Sophie and telling her she had something going on, so she might need to ask for a few days off and wouldnt be able to participate in the performance. Sophie immediately gave her leave and was concerned about her, asking what had happened. Amelia didnt know the situation over there, so she just told Sophie that it had something to do with her family. Sophie told Amelia to inform her if anything happened. Amelia agreed. After hanging up the phone, she called the school to ask for leave as well. Chapter 652 - 653: Side Story Thirty: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Eight) Chapter 653: Side Story Thirty: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Eight) It takes over three hours to get from Imperial Capital to Wakefield County. Amelia Smith went directly to the private hospital, got out of the car, and made a phone call to Eleanor Smith while walking in. Just arriving at the great hall, the call hadnt gone through yet, when Eleanor Smith saw her and rushed over. Amelia Smiths arm was grabbed, and she turned to see Eleanor Smith, with her eyes swollen from crying, Second Sister. Amelia Eleanor Smith burst into tears again upon seeing her and couldnt speak. A man behind her came running over a bit slower, and handed her a tissue, Alright, stop crying. Amelia Smith looked at the man, Brother-inw. Amelia, Christopher Willow supported Eleanor Smiths arm, leading her to the maternity inpatient department. Lets walk and talk. Amelia Smith, holding Eleanor Smiths hand, asked, Brother-inw, what happened? We dont know the specifics, Christopher said, This morning, Eleanor received a call from Lily. Her voice was very weak, and she said she couldnt keep the baby and asked Eleanor toe to this hospital quickly. But after she said that, she hung up, and when we tried to call back, her phone was off.
Eleanor Smith tightly clutched Amelia Smiths arm, too anxious and tearful to speak, so Christopher Willow told Amelia Smith instead. Since we couldnt reach her by phone, Eleanor and I drove here right away. After we inquired at the reception, Lily was not at this hospital. Thinking that they might have gone to another hospital, we were about to leave when we saw her inws. Christopher said, Eleanor didnt let me call out to them, she just followed them to the maternity ward. And then? Amelia Smith asked. There were many people in the corridor of the ward, and as her inws saw us, they started shouting, then suddenly many people surrounded us and prevented us from approaching, Christopher Willow, a gentle man, always spoke slowly, even in such tense moments, his speech still wasnt fast. Where did all these peoplee from? Are they bandits? Amelia Smith said. Yes, Christopher replied, We caused amotion outside the ward, but they were in greater numbers and we were quickly blocked off. Eleanor called the police right away. But in the end, the matter was treated as a family dispute. Eleanor Smith sobbed, They simply mediated a little and then left. They also determined that the second floor was a trivial family matter. No matter how much I tried to exin, they didnt listen and thought I was making a fuss. Amelia, what should we do? Amelia Smith held her hand, Dont panic, lets first assess the situation. The three of them went to the inpatient department, and Amelia Smith asked, When did she get pregnant? Why wont her inws let us see her? How could she say anything with her personality? She bears all the bad things on her own. Eleanor Smith said, Ever since that child didnt make it, Lily hasnt been pregnant, and her inws have always treated us like we owed them. Im afraid they have some shady intentions. Not letting us see Lily The Turner family does not have the ability to find so many people, Amelia Smith said, They also dont have that much money to make the hospital go to such lengths. You mean theres someone behind this? Christopher Willow asked. Hard to say. Amelia Smith said, What connections could the Turner family have? Lets take a look first. After she finished, she paused, and then said, And brother-inw rk? He hasnt showed up from the beginning. Christopher Willow said. The three of them arrived at the ward and went straight to the maternity department. Amelia Smith followed the couple to that floor, only to find the corridor was not as crowded as they had described. There were only nursesing in and out of the wards, pregnant women, or family members in the hallway. Eleanor Smith took Amelia Smith directly to the room entrance that she had only seen from a distance in the morning, and it was empty.
Fearing that she might have gotten it wrong, they also checked the rooms around this one, but the ones on both sides were also unupied. Where are they? Eleanor Smith said, I saw her inws enter this room in the morning, why isnt there anyone? Amelia Smith stood at the room entrance, looking at the three empty rooms next to each other. Christopher Willow stopped a passing nurse and asked her where the people in that room were.
The nurse nced at him, then immediately looked away with an impatient tone, This room has been empty the whole time. When was there anyone in it? Howe there is no one? There was someone here this morning. Eleanor Smith said, I saw it with my own eyes! You must have mistaken the floor. There has been no one here. If you dont believe it, check the surveince. The nurse said, If you have nothing to do, leave quickly, and dont linger here, affecting the emotions of other maternal patients. If something happens, can you afford the responsibility? You! Christopher Willow held Eleanor Smith back and said, Lets go first. The three left the inpatient department again and went to the garden between the inpatient department and the outpatient department. Where did my sister go? Her cell phone is still off. Eleanor Smith tried again, but still couldnt get through, What should we do? What should we do? Lets call the police, shes missing. Christopher Willow patted her head tofort her and said, Did she transfer to another hospital? We didnt see your eldest sister this morning, we just saw her inws. Because they stopped us, we thought it was your sister inside, but we didnt see her. Amelia Smiths eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling slightly. They dare to let us check the surveince, the surveince must have been tampered with. Christopher Willow said, The hospital system does not have a record of your sistering to the hospital, and we didnt see her. The police this morning deemed it a family dispute. We are in a very passive position. So what should we do? Cant we call the police? Eleanor Smith asked. Amelia Smith took a breath, wiped her eyes, and took out her cell phone: Ill try to find someone to help. Who are you looking for? Eleanor Smith asked, Their background is not small, and the people inside the hospital have been bought. We dont have money or power. The world always bullies honest people.
Amelia Smith didnt speak but turned around to make a phone call. She waited for a while and said, L, did I bother you? Charlotte Lane was in theboratory and immediately realized that something was wrong with Amelias voice. She quickly exined the experiment to Adam Turner and went out to answer the call: What happened? Is something wrong? Amelia Smith quickly briefed Charlotte Lane on the situation: William Lane is on a business trip. I can only trouble you. Can you help? Its not a trouble. Charlotte Lane replied simply, Give me your current location. Send me your sisters cell phone number. And which floor your sister was staying in the inpatient department. Alright. After Amelia Smith told her, Charlotte Lane didnt hang up, she just said to wait for a moment. In less than a minute, she heard the sound of typing on the keyboard from the phone, and Charlotte Lanes voice sounded: Who is with you at the moment. My second sister and brother-inw are here. Amelia Smith said. Eleanor Smith and Christopher Willow were watching her nervously, their eyes asking if there was any solution yet. Amelia Smith nodded lightly. Is there anyone following you at home? Charlotte Lane asked again. I took a taxi here. Charlotte Lane:
After a few seconds of silence, Charlotte Lane said: Found it. Indeed she came to this hospital. She left two hours ago. Gone? Amelia Smith asked. Yes. Charlotte Lane said, The cell phone locations of your brother-inw Adam Turner and his parents show that they are at home. The road surveince shows that they should have gone home. They went home. Amelia Smith told Eleanor Smith and Christopher Willow. The three quickly walked out. L, thank you. Amelia Smith said. No need. Charlotte Lane said, Dont be impulsive when you get there, protect yourself. I have some people near Wakefield County, and Ive already asked them toe, forty minutes. Alright. Chapter 653 - 654: Side Story Thirty-One: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Nine) Chapter 654: Side Story Thirty-One: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Twenty-Nine) The Turner family lives in a vige on the edge of Wakefield County, a twenty-minute drive away. Christopher Willow is driving. As soon as they reach the entrance to their house, they stop the car, The road at the entrance of the Turner house is full of cars, so they had to park at the intersection and walk to their home. The Turner residence is a two-story Western-style building. Once at the entrance, Eleanor Smith started knocking hard on the door. Christopher Willow, not wanting her to hurt her hand, caught her hand and took over the task of knocking on the painted door for her. Nearly two minutester, the door was finally opened from inside. It was Mrs. Turner who opened the door. This woman, in her fifties, is somewhat overweight. Her hair is very ck, her face has some wrinkles, she wears a gold ne around her neck, and there is a gold bracelet on her wrist. As soon as the door opened, the first thing Amelia Smith saw was this woman, and then she noticed the people in the courtyard.
There were three square tables in the courtyard, with about a dozen men seated. They were simply dressed, but by their physiques, they appeared to be bodyguards or some sort of muscle. Where is my sister! Eleanor Smith yelled. You little girl, no respect for your elders! What are you yelling about! Mrs. Turner replied. Amelia Smith walked in directly, but Mrs. Turner immediately stopped her: What are you doing? Amelia Smith looked at her, at the woman in front of her. This woman was full of malice and spite before, but now her face is full of redness, her eyes filled with endless conceit: Cant Ie to my sisters house? When was this your sisters house? Mrs. Turner mocked. This house was built after my sister got married, thisnd was bought with my sisters own money. For this house, my sister not only paid money but also worked hard. Amelia Smith said coldly, Why isnt it my sisters house? Your sister bought it with her own money? Where did she get the money? Mrs. Turner questioned, She was bought by our family, where does she get money! Youre talking nonsense! Eleanor Smith swore. Mrs. Turner ignored her and arrogantly said: Shes been married for so many years and cant even give birth to a child. Such a waste. Youre going too far. Eleanor Smith rushed forward as if to hit her, but Christopher Willow pulled her back. Amelia Smiths eyes became cold, she pushed Mrs. Turner aside with one hand and walked inside. Mrs. Turner staggered to the side after being pushed by her. Christopher Willow held her in time, preventing her from falling down. Little bitch! Who told you toe in! Its my house, can youe in if I dont let you! Mrs. Turner yelled, shaking off Christopher Willows hand. She wanted to go into the courtyard but was pulled aside by Christopher Willow. As soon as Amelia Smith stepped into the courtyard, all the men in the courtyard stood up at once and stared at her. Amelia Smith nced at them and continued to walk in. About a dozen men came over and blocked her path. Christopher Willow and Eleanor Smith hurried into the courtyard, standing in front of her for fear that she would be bullied.
Mrs. Turner quickly followed and stood across from them, pointing at them and saying: Go ahead,e in. Id like to see how youre going to do it. We just want to see our older sister. Christopher Willow said, I dont know why youre not letting us see her, and I dont know why you took our older sister to the hospital. When did we go to the hospital? What evidence do you have to prove we went to the hospital! Mrs. Turner shouted back. Instead of answering her question, he continued: Why are you keeping these people in the courtyard and not letting us see anyone? Are you nning to openly imprison us?
So what if we are? Why dont you report to the police? Mrs. Turner challenged. Christopher Willow squinted his eyes and stopped talking. They have people behind them with great power. Its estimated that they think its easy to bully a small family like theirs, so they dare to be so arrogant. Amelia Smith looked at the little mansion, her voice was cold but not low: You reced the hospitals surveince. Not long after, the reced surveince was found. That is the proof that my sister went to the hospital, do you want me to continue? Christopher Willow and Eleanor Smith didnt hear the content of Amelia Smiths phone call, and right now, looking at her, they were half-believing, half-doubting her words, not knowing whether she was bluffing them. After several seconds of silence, a woman emerged from the house. Shes not very beautiful, but she has a good temperament and is wearing branded clothes from head to toe. She stood on the steps, her gaze immediately falling on Amelia Smiths face. Then she chuckled and walked over. The dozen or so men immediately parted to give her way. With reddened eyes, Amelia Smith calmly watched her. The woman walked up to Amelia Smith and said to Mrs. Turner: You go ahead with your work, Ill have a chat with her. Alright. Mrs. Turner immediately changed her expression to that of a sycophant. She stood aside but didnt leave.
How should I address you? the woman asked. Amelia Smith. Your name is quite different from theirs. I am Harris Richie. The woman spoke. So, who are you? What are you doing here? Eleanor Smith asked. The Richie Familys youngdy doesnt even know, what a rustic. Mrs. Turner spoke from the side, Its the Richie Family of Leicester City, understand? Its a family that people like you cant aspire to in a lifetime. Amelia Smith looked at her: Where is my sister? Lady Smith, where is the surveince? Richie asked. Amelia Smith did not answer. Her hand in her pocket kept sweating, praying in her heart for L Campbells people toe quickly. She wanted to see her sister as soon as possible. Seeing her not speaking, Richieughed: Youre a bit smart. You know there are people in this room, so you want to trick me out. But I came out willingly, because I know you basically dont have surveince, its made up. After all, with your familys situation, what ability do you have to find surveince. I came out because Im a little interested in you. I dont want to listen to your nonsense, I just want to confirm my sisters safety. Dont worry, shes very safe. Richie said. She just had an abortion, her body is still very weak. Once shes a little better, I will naturally have someone send her back to your home. Amelia Smiths lips trembled a little, after a while, she looked at Mrs. Turner and asked: Why?
Because Adam Turner wants to divorce your sister, aborting this child, is for your sisters benefit. Richie casually said, Otherwise, how will your sister live with a child in the future? Did you guys get her consent? Amelia Smith gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening again. Looking at her appearance, Richie suddenly found it somewhat amusing, and said: She didnt agree, so I pushed her down the stairs today. The child is gone, a lot of blood You damn bitch Eleanor Smith felt her heart tearing. Christopher Willow timely held her back and covered her mouth. Richie nced at Eleanor Smith, her twisted psychology more excited. She suddenlyughed,ughed so happily, andughed so casually: Actually, she could have been well taken care of in the hospital. It was because you guys went there to make trouble, so I had to bring her back. She is sleeping upstairs, you guys are causing such a bigmotion, she hasnt woken up. Eleanor Smiths mouth was covered, and tears kept falling. Because she couldnt speak, in the end, she bit Christopher Willow in the mouth. Christopher Willow saw through the woman before his eyes, who was ruthless and even regarded other peoples lives as nothing,wless. This present situation is very unfavorable to them. He was worried about Eleanor Smith, so he had to cover her mouth to prevent Richie from venting his anger on Eleanor Smith. But while he held back Eleanor Smith, he forgot about Amelia Smith who had always been more stable than Eleanor. Amelia Smith raised her hand and pped Richies face. Before Richie had reacted, Amelia caught her hair again, fiercely pulled her over, and choked her neck.
Richie was frightened and immediately held Amelias hand with both hands. But Amelia Smith was crazier than her, the moment her hand held her neck, she used all her strength, wanted to kill her. Mrs. Turner was scared and screamed. A dozen bodyguards immediately surrounded them. The first reaction of Christopher Willow and Eleanor Smith was to protect Amelia Smith. But facing a group of trained professional bodyguards, the two were quickly restrained. Amelia Smiths hand was pried open, Richie was rescued, holding her neck and looking at Amelia Smith, husked: Beat her. Amelia! Dont touch her! Dont touch her! Eleanor Smith shouted. Amelia Smith was surrounded, hit someone. Her hand was grabbed and twisted behind her. Another person pinched her face, causing her face to hurt. She struggled once but couldnt get away. When she wanted to struggle again, the person behind her suddenly let her go. But the hand was quickly grabbed again. She immediately turned around to hit someone, but her wrist was grabbed again. William Lane looked at her flushed eyes and the red mark pinched on her fair little face. Brother? Amelia Smith was stunned when she saw the person, then immediately plunged into William Lanes arms, Brother! William Lane held her, stroked her hair, and couldnt utter a word out of heartache. As it happens, his business trip was in the city center of this ce. When L Campbell told him, he immediately rushed over and met L Campbells people at the entrance of the vige. His people and L Campbells people came in and rescued Christopher Willow and Eleanor Smith, and then directly pressed all the people in the courtyard to the ground, including Mrs. Turner and Richie. Mrs. Turner kept screaming and was directly gagged. When Amelia Smith saw William Lane, her fortitude copsed and she sobbed, My sister, my sister. What? William Lane didnt hear her clearly. My elder sister, she, sheis upstairs. Shejust had surgery. Amelia Smith cried and said, Save her, save her first. Good, good. William Lanes eyes were cold enough to kill. He shouted, James Lane, Sofia Smith is upstairs. Go upstairs and call for an ambnce. Yes. Chapter 654 - 655: Side Story Thirty-Two: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty) Chapter 655: Side Story Thirty-Two: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty) While waiting for the ambnce, Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith went up to Sofia Smiths room. Sofia Smith was lying on the bed, receiving an IV drip, with no color in her face, and her breathing was very weak. Amelia Smith called out to her a few times, but there was no response. Eleanor Smith kept vigil by the bed, while Amelia Smith reported her older sisters condition to William Lane. William Lane stood outside the door without entering, and after understanding the situation, he made a phone call. When he came back, he wiped away Amelia Smiths tears and said, Ive contacted the medical team, a helicopter from Imperial Capital will arrive soon, dont worry. Christopher Willow overheard his words and nced at him. Amelia Smith nodded, and as her head moved, the tears fell. William Lane pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her head, Dont cry. Are you in pain anywhere? Your face, your hand, your arm? Did they hurt you? No, Amelia Smith said softly.
Alright, dont cry anymore. The ambnce is here, William Lane said. Arriving at the hospital, Sofia Smith was taken to the emergency rescue room. Within a few minutes, the Imperial Capitals medical team arrived. They greeted William Lane and then went inside. More than an hourter, the rescue room door opened, and Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith rushed over asking, How is she? Shes been bleeding a bit because of a miscarriage and the stress of the journey, the doctor said, Now the bleeding has stopped, and shes out of danger. Will this affect future pregnancies? Eleanor Smith asked. Please be assured, proper recuperation wont cause any problems. The doctor finished speaking and then looked at William Lane. William Lane introduced, This is my wife, and this is her sister. So this is Mrs. Lane. The doctor said, Dont worry, we have professionals forter care, which wont affect Miss Smiths health. Eleanor Smith suddenly looked at William Lane, her swollen eyes staring at him in surprise. William Lane saw her looking at him and nodded politely. But Eleanor Smith didnt divert her eyes, she kept staring at him. Amelia Smith was still discussing the details with the doctor, totally unaware of them. Until William Lane pulled at Amelia Smiths clothes and then Amelia looked at him, Whats up? William Lane looked down at her and gave her a nce. Amelia Smith didnt catch on, she squeezed his hand and continued talking with the doctor. William Lane: Finally, when Sofia Smith was pushed from the ward, Eleanor Smith finally moved her gaze, looking at her older sister. Back in the ward, the doctor said that due to excessive blood loss, the body is weak, and she may need to sleep for a while.
Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith stayed by the bed for a while, and then when William Lane conscientiously took himself out Eleanor Smith looked at Amelia Smith and asked, Are you married? Amelia Smith nced at her, then nodded. Upon seeing this, Christopher Willow also quietly left the ward. He stood outside the door with William Lane, like two door gods, one on each side. When did this happen? Eleanor Smith asked.
A few months ago. A few months ago! Eleanor Smith whispered loudly, You dont tell us about such a big thing! The hospital mom is staying in is also arranged by him, isnt it? Amelia Smith nodded again. You Eleanor Smith didnt know what to say to her, paused and said, What does his family do? Are they a decent family? The ward door wasnt shut tight, although Eleanor Smiths voice was low, William Lane heard it quite clearly. Christopher Willow looked at William Lane, feeling his facial expression wasnt quite right. His family is in business, Amelia Smith raised her head and nced at the door notpletely closed, As for whether it is a legitimate business its hard to say. Outside the door, William Lane: . Eleanor Smith poked the head with her finger: How can you be so audacious! Look at the grandeur he brought here. Does it seem like hes a decent person?! If anything happens to him in the future, can you escape from it? Amelia Smith smiled, and then walked to the door and opened it. Upon hearing the noise, William Lane turned his head and looked. Eavesdropping? Amelia Smith said. I am openly listening. William Lane, propping up her chin with his hand, he swayed it a little, staring at the red mark pinched out on her face, which had turned a bit purple, Whos boujee now? Is this how you discredit my persona?
Amelia Smithughed and pulled his hand down, holding their hands together and kneading it, she said, Brother, join my brother-inw for a chat. You cane backter. You dont even let me listen. William Lane said, You want to defame me thoroughly. Hehe. Amelia Smith grinned at him. Christopher Willow was standing on the side, watching them. Alright. William Lane stroked her hair, Hurry up, Ill take you to apply some ointment. Huh? On your face. William Lane lightly touched her face, Go. Hmm. William Lane and Christopher Willow walked away. Amelia Smith returned to her room, and Eleanor Smith looked at her inspectively: Seems happy. Just trying to keep pace with you and brother-inw. After all these years, brother-inw is still so nice to you. Amelia Smith said. Stop talking about me, lets talk about you. Eleanor Smith said, What exactly is his family doing? Amelia Smith paused for a while and said: Sis, you know Old Master Lane, right?
Which Old Master Lane? Eleanor Smith asked. The Old Master Lane we used to see on the news when we were young. After Amelia Smith finished, she whispered a name in her ear, and then said, This is his grandson. What?! Sis, lower your voice. Amelia Smith said. You you Eleanor Smith covered her mouth, she stared at her in shock, How Someway, you guys ended up together? Amelia Smith was silent for a while before she said: Just.. a coincidence, perhaps, it was fate. Eleanor Smith had trouble getting over the reality that was in front of her. It took her a while before she grabbed Amelia Smiths shoulder and shook her, saying, Amelia, Amelia, I truly never saw iting. I was already surprised enough when you got married. You despised marriage so much as a child. You gave me the idea that you were the type of person whod rather be shot than forced to marry. Amelia Smithughed a little and said: So now I understand Sofia a little. Due to family reasons, Amelia Smith hated marriage since she was a child, she would rather be single than start a family. Likewise, Sofia Smith, had simr thoughts regarding family. She longed to have a family and wished to have a child. She was desperate for a serene and blissful family, topensate for her own deficiencies, she had been painstakingly managing her own family. But the expected child was never there.
I have no idea if Sofia will still think the same after all this. Eleanor Smith said. We cant abandon the life we want because of being victimized by a family of trash. Amelia Smith said. The two sisters were silent for a while looking at the person lying on the bed, and Eleanor Smith asked, Does he treat you well? Amelia Smith looked at her and gave a nod. Eleanor Smith chuckled and said, Todays grandeur speaks for itself. What about his family? Theyre also very nice. Amelia Smith said. Eleanor Smith nodded and said, Amelia, nor me or your brother-inw have a lot to offer, our ability to help you is limited. Remember, no matter what, no matter what happens in the future, youll always have us. We might not be able to offer you much, but rest assured, well provide you shelter for life, you have a family. Hmm. Leaning on her shoulder, Amelia Smith said, Second Sister Davis, I know. Chapter 655 - 656: Side Story Thirty-Three: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-One) Chapter 656: Side Story Thirty-Three: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-One) William Lane took Amelia Smith to apply the medicine. After applying the medicine on her face, the doctor ced gauze on it. Amelia Smith stared with her big eyes, with a small piece of gauze on each side of her face. William Lane slowly applied the medicine on her hand, looked at her, and smiled. What are youughing at? Imughing because youre adorable. William Lane said. Amelia Smiths eyebrows twitched, and after a while, she asked, Elder Brother, have you finished your business trip? Yes, its all done. William Lane said. Youre lying. Amelia Smith said. William Lane smiled, The child has grown up, its not easy to fool anymore.
Amelia Smith lightly kicked his leg, Im twenty now. Yes, youre twenty, William Lane rubbed her wrist and said, Youre a twenty-year-old child. What if you havent finished? Amelia Smith asked, L has already asked someone toe, so why did youe yourself? If its not finished, then well deal with it next time. William Lane said, Remember to bring people from home when you go out, and let me know, okay? Alright. Amelia Smith said, I was too anxious today, and my mind went nk, so I came here first. With you like this, Ill get scolded so much when I get home. William Lane said. Ill definitely be with my eldest sister here, so by the time I go back, it will all be fine. Amelia Smith said. William Lane clicked his tongue lightly. Hm? I was nning to take you to the vi to stay for a couple of days. William Lane admitted. Amelia Smith was silent for a moment, then kicked him again with her foot. William Lane moved forward, mped her leg with his, and stopped her from moving. Behave. Oh. Amelia Smith behaved for a while, watching William Lane gently massage her slightly swollen wrist and fingers. After a while, she whispered, Elder brother, can you hold me, please? William Lane looked up at her, and as he did, Amelia Smith lowered her eyes, her ears flushed red. William Lane smiled, leaned in, and held her on hisp, encircling her in his arms. First, he kissed her, then held her, massaging her wrist. Were you frightened? Amelia Smith nodded obediently as she sat in his arms. Dont be afraid, William Lane said, Im here, theres nothing to be afraid of. Alright.
At noon, no one had eaten. After everything was settled, James Lane went to buy food, and they all ate together in the hospital. Amelia Smith didnt remove the medicine paste from her face, and her cheeks puffed up as she ate, causing Eleanor Smith tough constantly. Youre not done yet. Amelia Smith said. Its fun, Eleanor Smith said, You look like a little bunny.
Amelia Smith didnt want to bother with her, Brother-inw, you better control her or else, at this rate, she has a high chance of bing senile. Christopher Willowughed, Do you think I dare to control her? William Lane smiled and picked up food for Amelia Smith. Eleanor Smith looked at William Lane, and after a while, it suddenly urred to her, You are Brook Sisters elder brother! William Lane looked at her, this title Ls fan. He nodded, Yes. Ah! Eleanor Smith suddenly grabbed Christopher Willows arm with both hands, extremely excited, Ah! Ah! Its Brook Sisters elder brother! Christopher Willows arm hurt from her grip, Year Year. Amelia Smith said, See, the possibility of senility is too high. Can I get an autographed photo of Brook Sister? Eleanor Smith excitedly asked. Second Sister, L is very busy. Amelia Smith said. It was only then that Eleanor Smith remembered that when Amelia Smith made the phone call, she called her L. She was so anxious at the time and got used to the name Daisy that she didnt react at all. Eleanor Smith looked at William Lane, and William Lane said, Sure, Ill tell her when I get back. Amelia Smith:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Young Master Lane, Eleanor Smith said happily, Amelia married well, she married well. Amelia Smith: After the four of them finished eating and cleaned up, they were chatting when James Lane knocked on the door and came in. He entered, nodded to Christopher Willow and Eleanor Smith, then said to William Lane, Young Master, the man watching the Turner Family said the Richie Family came. Theughter on the four peoples faces faded away, and Eleanor Smith now felt like rushing over and beating someone. Amelia Smith looked at William Lane. William Lane said, Our people havent woken up yet. Dont meet them. Let them make a fuss. If anyone dares to support them, take care of them together. Yes. After James Lane replied, he didnt leave, We checked the Richie Family. William Lane looked at him, Go on. The Richie Family is the richest family in Leicester City and has colluded with some dark forces, James Lane reported, In recent years, they have done many underhanded things secretly. And Harris Richie has already been married three times. The four people looked at James Lane. James Lane, like an emotionless robot, reported, These three men all have one thing inmon: they are very good looking and have no background. William Lane raised his eyebrows, What about Adam Turner?
Adam Turner is also good looking, Amelia Smith answered subconsciously. William Lane turned to look at her, Whos not bad? Amelia met his gaze, You. Am I just not bad? William Lane asked again. Amelia Smith nced at Eleanor Smith and Christopher Willow, then held William Lanes face with both hands, turning his head towards James Lane. William Lane wanted to turn back. Amelia Smith suddenly said, Dont turn back! Quite fierce. William Lane chuckled, not turning back but looking at James Lane, Continue. Our people roughly asked Harris Richie. She seems to have some special preferences, James Lane said, She specifically picks men with no family background to marry, and once she gets tired of it, she divorces. Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith both frowned. Based on what she said, she loves watching peoples emotions break down, so she loves stimting peoples emotions, James Lane continued, She has used various means to stimte a persons emotions. Its not the first time she has done something like this to Lady Smith. William Lane said, I want substantial evidence.
Yes. Take a closer look at the Richie Family. Yes. What about the guy named Adam Turner? William Lane asked. Hes been at home, James Lane said, He locked himself in the room on the second floor. Did he say anything? Amelia Smith asked. Nope, James Lane said, When our people asked him, he kept saying he didnt know and kept looking for his mother. He cant even talk without his mother, Eleanor Smith said, Eldest sister said he was honest. Thats not honest, thats being an idiot. William Lane gave James Lane a look, and James Lane nodded, then left the room. There was a moment of silence among the four people in the room, and then Eleanor Smith said, This woman is so perverted. The Turner Family is in big trouble with this kind of person. Amelia Smith looked at Sofia Smith, who was lying on the hospital bed, Poor eldest sister and the child. Chapter 656 - 657: Side Story Thirty-Four: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Two) Chapter 657: Side Story Thirty-Four: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Two) It was not until the next morning that Sofia Smith awoke. After waking up, her spirits were not very good. The main reason was her low mood, speaking little, and eating very little. Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith apanied her for half a day. After eating a little lunch, she went back to sleep. When she fell asleep, Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith left the ward and went outside. What should we do? Eleanor Smith asked, Big sister has never been like this before. Amelia Smith remained silent without speaking. The two sisters spoke outside for a while, and Amelia Smith said, Second sister, you and brother-inw still have to work, so go back tomorrow. You dont have time either, Eleanor Smith replied, Its okay for both of us to take two days off from work. Roy Madison has hired a caregiver who will take care of Big Sisters diet and daily life, and he wille this afternoon, Amelia Smith said. Eleanor Smith nodded and patted Amelias shoulder, Amelia, this man is really good, very attentive.
Amelia Smith just smiled. The two sisters chatted about Sofias condition outside for a while and then returned to the ward to apany their big sister. In the afternoon, when the caregiver came, Sofia Smith asked Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith to go to the Turner house to collect some of her documents. Roy Madison had left the night before, leaving James Lane behind. So Amelia Smith asked James Lane to give them a ride. Wherever Amelia Smith said they would go, James Lane would unhesitatingly take her there, regardless of whether the ce was suitable for Amelia to visit. He was only responsible for obeying orders. So when Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith opened the door to the Turner house, they were greeted by a courtyard full of incapacitated people. The dozens of bodyguards were all in the courtyard, with bruised noses and swollen faces. Each persons mouth had been gagged, and their hands had been disabled, hanging limply by their sides. Several men in ck suits stood at the entrance of the courtyard, all of them guards from the Lane family. Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith were both taken aback. Amelia Smith stared at the courtyard full of people for a while before asking, Whats going on? James Lane closed the door and said calmly, Young Master said they had hurt Madams hand, so he had broken all of their hands. Eleanor Smith stared at James Lane in disbelief. Amelia Smiths lips trembled, Why, why didnt you take them away? Well, the Young Master didnt let us take them away. They were beaten and interrogated here, James Lane said, Harris Richie and the Turner family of three are all inside the house. Eleanor Smith looked at Amelia Smith, she was a little scared. At first, when she found out about Roy Madisons identity, she was very scared. But after a day of getting along, Roy Madison seemed unapproachable but was very gentle and respectful to them. However she still underestimated him.
It seemed like they were not living in the same world. In Roy Madisons world, there were means and powers that they could not even imagine. There seemed to be a whole other set of rules for survival. Eleanor Smith was somewhat afraid that Amelia Smith would be bullied in such a life.
Amelia Smith saw the fear in her sisters eyes, stepped forward, and held her hand, Its okay, lets go, sister. Lets get the documents from the room first. Eleanor Smith followed her nkly into the room, and as soon as they entered, they saw the four people in the living room. They actually looked fine, with no visible injuries on their bodies. It was just their mental state that seemed not too good, all appearing somewhat stunned. But when they saw Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith, their expressions changed immediately. Mrs. Turner looked as if she had seen her enemy, Adam Turner seemed to have seen his savior, and Mr. Turner and Harris Richie had no significant reaction. Mr. Turnersck of reaction was simply numbness. But Harris Richiesck of reaction was indifference, the kind of indifference thatpletely disregarded them. Adam got up and walked toward Amelia, Amelia, do you know these people? Please ask them to release us. James Lane stopped him. Amelia stopped and looked at him. Seeing that she had stopped, Adam smiled, Amelia, please tell them to let us go. They dont let us go anywhere, and they only give us a little in rice and green vegetables every day. We cant swallow it. James stood emotionless, blocking him from getting any closer. Why dont you ask my sister? Amelia said.
Your sister? What happened to your sister? Adam asked. Dont you know what happened to her? Amelia stared at him, As her husband, dont you know what happened to her? Oh. Adam said casually, You mean her miscarriage. Shes already been to the hospital, and the doctor said its nothing serious. Where is she? Why isnt she home, and why are we all trapped here? Eleanor couldnt believe her ears and stared at Adam in shock. Amelias eyshes trembled a few times, and she asked, What do you mean, its nothing serious? She was in the hospital for a day and a night, just waking up this morning. Shes your wife, is this how you treat her? Is it that serious? Adam said, Its just a lost child, right? How could her body be so weak. Go to hell! Eleanor charged forward and pped him, then grabbed his hair, pulling it down viciously. The force of her blow also jolted James, who was standing between them. Adam was in pain, yelping, Mom! Mom! Mom! It hurts! Seeing her son being beaten, Mrs. Turner immediately rushed forward to hit Eleanor, You little bitch! How dare you touch my son, Ill kill you! But just as she lifted her hands, one was held by James and the other by Amelia. James looked to Amelia. Amelia let go.
With a single powerful move, James threw Mrs. Turner to the side. Amelia also pulled Eleanor away. Adam covered his head and quickly retreated, while Mrs. Turner wanted to rush forward and hit Eleanor again, but seeing her son released she went to hold him instead, Son, does it hurt? Does It hurt? Eleanor still held a clump of hair in her hand, forcefully threw it towards Adam and said, Stinking man! How dare you say youre in pain? My sister was in much more pain in the hospital! How did I never notice before howme you are! Spit! You worthless dog, youre just wasting air! Thats enough, Second Sister Davis, Amelia pulled her, Dont stoop to their level. My sister was really blind to have spent so many years with you. Eleanor continued to curse, What a useless thing! Waste! Trash! Do you think we, the Turner Family, wanted her? Mrs. Turner cursed back, Other than that captivating face, what else does she know how to do? If not for Max Smith selling her to us, we wouldnt have wanted her! She cant even give birth to a child! We dont even know where the money she has came from. We dont even know if the miscarried child was from our Turner Family! Im gonna Eleanor paced around the living room, eventually picked up a flower pot from the corner and threw it at them. The vase shattered with a loud crash, and the soil inside fell out. Mrs. Turner ducked with Adam, narrowly avoiding being hit. Ill kill you! Eleanor still wanted to hit them. Amelia held her back, Second sister, let it go. At that moment, Harris Richie, who had been watching from the side, suddenlyughed.
Hisughter was still as carefree and rxed as ever, as if everyone had just performed a family drama for his amusement. Chapter 657 - 658: Extra Thirty-Five: Fragrance of the Ink Plum (Thirty-three) Chapter 658: Extra Thirty-Five: Fragrance of the Ink Plum (Thirty-three) Harris Richie sat on a far-off single seater sofa. Her legs were crossed, her hair was a bit messy, rudimentarily tied up, and her skin looked unhealthy, quite pale. You could still see the purple hand marks left on her neck by Amelia Smith. Even so, she emanated an air ofplete ease, casualness, andziness. She didnt seem to care about her current situation at all, even enjoying observing the spectacle they presented. Eleanor Smith stopped speaking upon hearing herughter. Amelia Smith also looked at her. Harris Richie keptughing. Eleanor Smith asked, What are youughing at? Dont you find it amusing? Harris Richie replied,ughing, Its too funny. You must have a problem, Eleanor Smith said, I suggest that you see a psychologist. Its eptable if youre sick, but dont hold up others.
Hold up others? Who have I held up? Harris Richie replied with augh still on her face, And what can you do even if I have held you up? Eleanor Smith was speechless, she had never encountered such audacious people before. Do you think theres no one in this world who can control you? Amelia Smith snapped. Raising her eyebrows, Harris Richie looked at Amelia Smith with interest, Younger sister, do you actually think you can do something to me by keeping me here for a few days? Do you dare to kill me? Amelia Smith fell silent. Harris Richie chuckled: I know that you have some power, which is why you confident enough to hold me here. But let me tell you, as long as I dont die, youll never be able to do anything to me. Is that so? responded Amelia Smith in a cold voice. Of course. Richie uncrossed her legs, leant back into the sofa and further exined, Dear sister, some powers are far beyond your imagination. Your understanding and the world you see dont support such insights. Amelia Smiths eyebrows twitched slightly. Therere forces that people like you will neverprehend or witness. Richie said, The most you can do is to confine me here for a few days. These people of yours will very soon meet a pathetic fate, far worse than those outside in the courtyard. Kill her! The little slut! Mrs. Turner cursed, God knows which man she hooked up with to attract these wild men ah! James Lane stood behind Amelia Smith all the while, indifferent and silent. But hearing someone curse at Amelia Smith, he sprang into action, appearing next to Mrs. Turner in an instant, and with a quick move, dislocated her jaw. Mrs. Turner gave out a horrific shriek, her mouth agape and letting out a monotonous sound, unable to articte words. Amelia Smith nced at her before retracting her gaze and went upstairs with Eleanor Smith. The two of them found the documents ording to Sofia Smiths instructions, bagged them and went downstairs. Should we take some clothes? Eleanor Smith asked. Amelia Smith thought for a moment and said: Lets buy new ones. Good.
The two went downstairs andpletely ignored the people in the living room, nning to leave without any dy. Arguing with such people would not lead to any results. Every extra word spoken or heard would be a waste of time. Just as they were about to leave the living room, the man guarding the courtyard entrance rushed in. He saluted Amelia Smith, then turned to James Lane, Boss, the Richie family has summoned Hedrick Skyler.
Hearing this name, Harris Richie, sitting in the living room, burst intoughter again. Amelia Smith turned to look at her. Harris Richie got up and walked towards Amelia Smith but not too close, apparently fearing that Smith wouldsh out at her again: I told you. You cant hold me here for even a few days. Have you ever considered that by doing this, youre dragging the people who are protecting you behind the scenes into this? Harris Richieughed as if she had heard a joke, as well as mocking Amelia Smiths naive ignorance: Drag down? Whos dragged down? Who has the ability? Youre too naive. I dare to do these because Im confident that I can handle these. Straightforwardly speaking, Im different from you lot. Amelia Smith chuckled lightly and looked at James Lane. James Lane nodded, then turned to the man who had reported, How many people did they bring? Twice as many as we have. They have surrounded us. This area was devoid of households, and houses were being built., That time Sofia Smith felt that this ce was close to the county town and had a good location, so she bought a piece ofnd here and built a two-story building. Now, the surroundings are mostly vacant houses, or houses only with foundationsid, and not many people lived there. So even such a hugemotion had not attracted much attention. William Lanes people were all low profile, controlling everyone in the courtyard. They chased away the cars on the road outside, and the guards were also inside the courtyard.
But the people brought by Hedrick Skyler were incredibly high-profile. Eleanor Smith tightly grabbed Amelia Smiths hand: Amelia. Amelia Smith squeezed her hand in response. James Lane said, Let them in. Yes. Harris Richie did not approach them, butughed: They brought twice as many people. Are you sure you still want to stand off? Speak now, so you would suffer less. James Lane took out his phone to send a message. Eleanor Smith whispered, Amelia, their family seems to be very powerful. Will we be in danger? No, Amelia Smith said. But they have more people. Its okay, Amelia Smith said, James can take on ten at a time. Is he that good? Eleanor Smith looked towards James Lane. James Lane also looked over, then nodded heavily, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on his usually expressionless face.
Eleanor Smith felt slightly relieved, raised her hand to give him a thumbs-up. Hedrick Skyler and Mr. Richie swaggered over. Seeing the two of them, Harris Richie, who had been on alert, detoured around Amelia Smith and immediately ran towards them: Daddy, godfather. Seeing his daughter in that condition, Mr. Richies eyes welled up: My dear, how did you end up like this? Daddy came toote, and you suffered. Dad, Im fine, Harris Richie said with a smile. The Turner family seeing this, immediately rushed to Hedrick Skyler and their group. Mrs. Turners jaw was dislocated, and she kept drooling, but she was still talking. She pointed at Amelia Smith and Eleanor Smith, slurred, Them! It was them! They hit Harris! Kill them quickly! Hedrick Skyler looked at them, ring, Was it you who hit my god-daughter? James Lane looked at him: What about it? What do you want to do? What do I want? Hedrick Skyler sneered, I adore this girl. You dared toy hands on her. Today, none of you will leave here. Youre being rather presumptuous. William Lanes voice came from the entrance. Everyone turned to look at William Lane.
Dressed in a neatly ironed suit with an upright figure and gentle yet cold countenance, William Lane walked into the yard with a square food box in hand, heading towards Amelia Smith. Hedrick Skyler and Mr. Richie were observing him, impressed by his extraordinary temperament. For a moment, they exchanged a knowing look. William Lane walked up to Amelia Smith as though no one else was there, handed her the food box, and said, Fruit tter, want some? Amelia Smith smiled at him and said, Ill wash my hands first. Sure. The crowd, ??? Are you really going to ignore us like that? Chapter 658 - 659: Side Story Thirty-Six: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Four) Chapter 659: Side Story Thirty-Six: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Four) Before William Lane had a romantic rtionship, many of his affairs were handled by James Lane. Especially during the years when he was looking for Charlotte Lane, the domestic affairs were almost all handled by James Lane. So many people in the domestic scene knew James Lane. James Lane represented William Lane, and he represented the Imperial City Lane Family. Those who knew or had seen James Lane had a certain status in any field, or at least had been in contact with people of a certain status. Hedrick Skyler and Mr. Richie did not know James Lane at all, let alone William Lane. So James Lane never paid any attention to them from the beginning. Amelia Smith quickly returned after washing her hands. William Lane opened the food box and handed it to Amelia Smith. Amelia Smith held it with one hand, and used a small fork to pick up a piece of mango and handed it to Eleanor Smith.
Eleanor Smith looked at her wordlessly, with an expression that seemed to ask: How can you eat under such circumstances? Second Sister. Im not eating. Amelia Smith put it into her own mouth and chewed slowly. What? Is it yourst supper? Hedrick Skyler lit a cigarette and took a puff. William Lanes gaze moved away from Amelia Smith, all the gentleness disappeared, leaving only cold indifference. He looked at Hedrick Skyler and said, Hedrick Skyler, do the people behind you know how arrogant you are? Do you know whos behind me? Hedrick Skyler exhaled smoke, his eyes full of boundless arrogance. Enzo Thiago. William Lane said indifferently. Hedrick Skyler paused in his action of smoking, his pupils slightly contracted, and after a moment of stupefaction, heughed and said, You seem to have some skills. William Lane did not speak. Hedrick Skylerughed again, But having skills is useless. Kid, in this world, its all about background. Today, because you hurt my family, none of you will live. Harris Richie raised his chin arrogantly, looking at them. Kill them! Mrs. Turner also raised her chin and mumbled with drool dripping from her mouth. Yes, yes, kill them. Adam Turner also timidly pointed at them. Amelia Smith nced at them, unconcerned, and ate a grape. Eleanor Smith: . What kind of background can an Enzo Thiago have? William Lane said indifferently. Youre arrogant. Hedrick Skyler sneered, You dont think Brother Thiagos power is worth anything, so what about the Lane Family? Have you heard of the Imperial City Lane Family? William Lane raised his eyebrows slightly.
The Lanes guarding the courtyard nced at their clothes. Nothing. In order to act conveniently, they did not bring any logo belonging to the Lane Family. As I expected, youve never heard of it. Hedrick Skyler said condescendingly, The Imperial City Lane Family. Not only the reputation of the Lane Family of a hundred years, but also the prestige of Old Master Lane. Do you know Old Master Lane? Its him who shelters us.
William Lanes indifferent expression suddenly turned cold. Amelia Smith closed the food box and stopped eating as well. Seeing William Lanes expression, Hedrick Skyler thought he was afraid and continued, With him as our umbre, who in these ck and white worlds do you think can touch us? James Lane. William Lane called out coldly. James Lane immediately stepped forward, rushed to Hedrick Skyler, and punched him in the mouth. The cigarette in Hedrick Skylers hand dropped, and he leaned back sharply, only to be stopped from falling by Mr. Richie. But James Lane immediately kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground. Godfather. Harris Richie came forward to help. As Mr. Richie tried to fight back, he was kicked away by James Lane and rolled on the ground. Harris Richie quickly went to help her father, Dad. The Turner family was so frightened that they didnt dare to make a sound, and huddled together trying to hide. Kneeling on the ground, Hedrick Skyler covered his mouth for a while, then removed his hand. His palm was full of blood and three teeth. James Lane knocked out three of his teeth with a punch.
You guys, you guys. Hedrick Skyler looked at them viciously and yelled, What are you waiting for! Kill them! The people he brought out drew their weapons and aimed at them. Amelia Smith, you and your man! And your family! You will all pay for this! Harris Richie suddenly yelled. Amelia Smiths mouth curled up slightly, but there was no trace ofughter in her eyes, Harris Richie, today will be your price. Dont you like to see people emotionally copse? Its your turn now. Do it! Why arent you doing it? Harris Richie yelled hysterically. Hedrick Skylers men immediately took action. William Lanes men instantly counterattacked. Despite being outnumbered, William Lanes men were not at a disadvantage. The entire courtyard was full of fighting, and William Lane only watched coldly. The Turner family huddled together and escaped, asionally getting some kicks in the process. Harris Richie tried to help Hedrick Skyler and her father to the side, but the Lanes were very deliberate, asionally hitting them and keeping them tied together. Brother. Amelia Smith pulled at William Lanes sleeve, Dont be angry. William Lane turned to look at her, and his eyes gradually softened, Its fine.
Or you can kick them too. Amelia Smith said. I dont want to dirty my shoes. William Lane smiled. Fair enough. Before long, Hedrick Skylers men were all defeated, controlled one by one. The entire courtyard was crowded with people, making it difficult to breathe. James Lane could tell that William Lane was not satisfied, so after dealing with the others, he went to Hedrick Skyler and beat him up some more. Mr. Richie tried to stop him. James Lane beat him up too. His fists fell on the most painful spots, but he spared their lives. Harris Richie went from threatening and cursing at the beginning to begging for mercy at the end. The Turner family huddled in the corner, scared out of their wits. Eleanor Smith couldnt bear to watch the scene anymore, so she turned around and plugged her ears. She truly felt the horror of William Lane. Without any effort, just an emotional fluctuation, he could take someones life.
Amelia Smith had never seen such a scene before either. She was frightened and tightly held the food box in her hand, her knuckles turning white. But she didnt avoid it. Because she knew she needed to ept everything about William Lane, including his ruthlessness. William Lane pulled her close to him and lifted his hand to cover her eyes, Why do you watch if youre scared? I-Im not scared. Amelia Smith leaned back against him, seeking warmth, Im just a little unustomed. You dont need to get used to it. William Lane said, Just dont be afraid of your brother. I wont. Amelia Smith replied quickly and firmly. William Lane smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. After finishing with Hedrick Skyler, James Lane silently retreated to the side. Mr. Richiey on the ground,pletely unconscious. Harris Richie sat beside him, crying non-stop. After lying still for a while, Hedrick Skyler said, Brother Thiago wont let you get away with this. You guys, you guys will all pay a heavy price that you cant bear. I, I wont be able to go back tonight. Brother Thiago, Brother Thiago will definitely find me. Then, you guys, none of you will escape. Chapter 659 - 660: Side Story Thirty-Seven: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Five) Chapter 660: Side Story Thirty-Seven: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Five) Enzo Thiago didnt wait for Evening to find Hedrick Skyler beforeing. He came quickly, almost immediately after Hedrick was beaten, he arrived. As he entered the courtyard, he saw the people all over the ground, and hesitated for a moment. Then he looked at William Lane and hurried in. He had no interest in finding which person on the ground was Hedrick Skyler. He walked straight towards William Lane, but when he was about to reach him, someone on the side grabbed the hem of Enzos pants. Brother Thiago, Brother Thiago Hedrick Skyler was lying on the ground, clutching the hem of Enzos pants tightly. Brother Thiago, youre finally here. Quick, avenge our brothers. Kill them! Kill them all! Enzo Thiago looked down at him, and it took him a moment to recognize that this person was Hedrick Skyler. He stared at the man on the ground for a while, then forcefully pulled his pants out of his grip. But as soon as he did, someone grabbed his sleeve. Uncle Thiago, you must avenge my father and godfather. Harris Richie suddenly looked towards Amelia Smith and William Lane, with maliciousness on his face. It was them, they are the ones who beat my father and godfather. They dont even care about you. They still attacked even after hearing your name. Enzo tried to pull his hand back but couldnt. Harris was holding him tightly, staring at Amelia Smith: Are you not scared? Arent you great at fighting? Arent you arrogant? Come on, fight! Fight!
Enzo violently pulled his hand back, pushing Harris aside: Get lost! Ah! Harris Richie fell to the ground and immediately sat up, looking at Enzo Thiago in disbelief. Uncle Thiago? Enzo Thiago red at him, then kicked Hedrick Skyler before quickly walking up to William Lane. He smiled and respectfully said, Young Master Lane. Harris suddenly looked at William Lane, his face full of shock. Mr. Richie also looked over, Hedrick Skyler turned his head and after a while, he said, Brother Thiago, youwhy? William Lanes expression was cold and intimidating: Enzo Thiago, you really know how to get by, dont you? I give you some resources and leave you a way out, is this how you repay me? Young Master Lane, I didnt, I didnt. Enzo Thiago stammered. You didnt? William Lane said softly: Then, depending on the power of the Lane family, he even wants to drag my grandfather down with him. Thats quite an aplishment. Harris stared, his entire body bing numb. The man in front of him was surnamed Lane. He was the young master of the Lane family. He was the power they had been relying on behind the scenes. Facing William Lane, Enzo Thiagos legs shook, and cold sweat kept breaking out: Young Master Lane, I didnt. How many times have you done something like this behind my back? William Lane asked. What else have you done under the banner of the Lane family? You didnt? Wait until the Lane family is ruined by you, and then say you have. How many lives would be enough for you to die? Enzo Thiagos head kept sinking lower, and after a while, he suddenly turned around, kicking Hedrick Skyler, and then bending down to throw a few punches at him. Unlike James Lane, the anger in Enzo Thiagos strikes could have been deadly. Seeing this, Harris clutched his head and cried out loud. Finally, he crawled to Enzo Thiagos feet and hugged his leg: Uncle Thiago, please stop hitting him. Please stop. Enzo Thiago kicked him away: Get lost! You dare to provoke young Master Lane? Are you tired of living?! Brother Thiago, II didnt know. Hedrick Skyler mumbled. Harris, seeing that he didnt stop, immediately turned to William Lane: Young Master Lane, I was wrong! I was wrong! Im sorry, please dont let him hit me anymore.
William Lane turned Amelia Smith around so that her face was buried in his shoulder, shielding her from the scene. He didnt even give Harris a nce. Harris suddenly realized something and cried out: Amelia Smith, Im sorry! Im sorry! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please tell him to stop, Im begging you. Amelia Smith wanted to speak up, but William Lane pressed her head down, preventing her from moving.
She didnt move or make a sound, and Harris continued, Im sorry for what I did to your sister. I shouldnt have pushed her and caused her to lose her child. I dont want the Turner Family involved anymore. Please let us go, Im begging you! Im begging you! Amelia Smith tugged at William Lanes waist and said softly, Brother, just give whatever punishment you want, but stop hitting them. I thought you were going to say forget it,'' William Lane smiled. Why should I forget it? Amelia Smith said softly. They brought this upon themselves. Hmm, William Lane agreed while looking at James Lane. James Lane pulled Enzo Thiago away. Enzo Thiago gasped: Young Master Lane, Im sorry. It was my fault for not being strict enough with my men. Its more than just being not strict enough, William Lane said. You should go in there and join Hedrick Skyler. Young Master Lane William Lane picked up Amelia Smith. Amelia Smith looked at him in surprise: What are you doing?! Going back, William Lane said. The ground is too dirty. I can walk myself, Amelia Smith said.
Mhm, I know, William Lane smiled. I just want to hold you. Amelia Smith: William Lane carried her out the courtyard. After a few steps, Amelia suddenly remembered Eleanor Smith, who was still standing there with her ears covered: Second Sister Davis, Second Sister! James Lane called to Eleanor Smith, and Eleanor finally reacted and followed Amelia Smith. Seeing them leaving, Enzo Thiago immediately followed: Young Master Lane! Young Master Lane, I know I was wrong. I will definitely keep a closer eye on them in the future. Please give me another chance. Young Master Lane James Lane blocked his way. Big Brother Lane! Enzo Thiago was sweating profusely. He saw that William Lane wasnt paying him any attention and could only turn to James Lane. Big Brother Lane, please help me beg for mercy. James Lane remained expressionless and coldly said, Youve crossed Young Masters bottom line. Neither our Madam nor Old Master Lane should have been touched by you. Enzo Thiago stumbled back a step. James Lane didnt look at him again, and followed William Lane out of the courtyard. When the courtyard door closed, Enzo Thiago was still unable to react. He had already arrived in the county at noon, and it was James Lane who called him here. Not long ago, he had received a message from James Lane toe.
But when he arrived, the news he received was that his second half of life was ruined. Uncle Thiago, Uncle Thiago, what should we do? What should we do? Harris Richie sat on the ground, clutching Enzo Thiagos pants leg, Whats going to happen to us? Enzo Thiago looked at Harris Richie, kicked him away again, and kicked Hedrick Skyler as well: All of you are a bunch of troublemakers! Hedrick Skyler curled up on the ground, unable to say a word, his groaning barely audible. Harris Richie sat on the ground and cried. Enzo Thiago said, Whats going to happen? We will all wish we were dead! What a feat! Pissing off the Lane family! Wheres your brain?! Wheres your brain?! I told you to keep a low profile! Low profile! Is this how you keep a low profile for me?! Youre all insane! Totally insane! Enzo Thiago continued scolding, then leans down to p Harris Richie again. With a crisp sound, Harris was knocked to the ground: You cant get enough, can you? Its all because of you causing trouble! Harris face quickly swelled up. Her hair stuck to her face, and her face was covered in snot and tears. She covered her face andy on the ground in a pitiful state. The Turner family huddled in the corner, watching the scene and trembling in fear, not daring to say a word. Chapter 660 - 661: Side Story Thirty-Eight: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Six) Chapter 661: Side Story Thirty-Eight: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Six) Charlotte Lane stayed behind to deal with some follow-up matters, while William Lane drove Amelia Smith and her sister to the shopping mall to buy clothes for Sofia Smith. After buying the clothes, they took the two of them back to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Sofia Smith had already woken up and was sitting up in bed. The caregiver was chatting with her. She replied intermittently. Seeing Amelia Smith and the others, she said weakly, Youre back? Yeah. Amelia Smith handed her the documents, See if anything is missing? Sofia Smith took them and looked at the man behind Amelia Smith, holding some things. William Lane put the things under the bed and looked at her: Hello, my name is William Lane. Sofia Smith moved her pale lips: Hello.
After speaking, she still looked at him, her eyes slightly confused, as if asking: Who are you? And who do you have a rtionship with here? Big sister. Amelia Smith said, He William Lane looked at Amelia Smith, intending to hear how she would introduce himself. He Amelia Smith looked at him, Sister, he is my brother-inw, several years older than you. William Lane gritted his teeth, staring kindly at Amelia Smith. Eleanor Smith chuckled. Sofia Smiths pupils shrank slightly. She was very surprised inside, but couldnt muster the strength to be surprised. Her face was pale, as if there werent any huge emotional fluctuations. After a while, she looked at William Lane and asked, Did you help Amelia change her name? William Lane pressed down on Amelia Smiths little head, which was giggling, and told Sofia Smith, Yes. So it was you. Sofia Smiths eyes carried a faint smile. Hmm? William Lane became a bit interested and asked, It seems there are some legends about me. Sofia Smith nced at Amelia Smith, her lips slightly rising: Amelia told me. She said there was a very handsome big brother who helped her, and she Sister! Amelia Smith interrupted in time. William Lane tilted his head, his hand wrapping around her neck, holding her mouth shut, and said to Sofia Smith, Please continue. Amelia Smith tried to pull his hand down but couldnt. She red at her sister. Sofia Smith simply ignored her gaze: She said the big brother was very nice, and if there was a guy like him, she would still be willing to get married. William Lanes eyshes trembled slightly, and theughter in his eyes spread slowly. Amelia Smiths hand fell, and she leaned on William Lane as if her soul had been taken away. William Lane let her go and pinched her face with a smile. Amelia Smith immediately kept her distance from him and sat beside Sofia Smith.
Sofia Smith looked at her and asked, Did the Turner family give you any trouble? Recalling the Turners courtyard, Eleanor Smith couldnt help but shiver, and the smile disappeared from her lips. No, Amelia Smith replied, Sister, you just need to recover, and dont think about anything else. What about Adam Turner? Sofia Smith asked.
He is at home. Amelia Smith lowered her eyes and caressed the quilt on her sister. She didnt make it too obvious, but Sofia Smith probably guessed Adam Turners attitude. Sister, lets talk about everything after you recover, Amelia Smith said after a while. Yeah, I know. They chatted in the ward for a while before leaving to let Sofia Smith rest. As soon as they left the ward, Amelia Smith pulled William Lane away. Help me, help me, help me Amelia Smith was led by William Lane, whispering help me all the way. William Lane took her all the way to the parking lot and stuffed her into the car. Then he got in himself and embraced Amelia Smith tightly in his arms, kissing the back of her head for quite a while. He only let go after he had swollen her lips from all the kissing. He gasped for breath, caressing her face, Whats wrong? Do you think Im too old? No, I dont. Amelia Smith sat in his arms, her hand still nervously clutching the cor of his shirt. William Lane watched her chest rise and fall, gazing at her intently for a moment before saying, Amelia, no one will be exactly like me. Huh? Amelia Smiths eyes were filled with ayer of mist, looking at him in a daze.
Just marry me. William Lane looked into her eyes, his gaze deepening. You dont have to marry someone whos like me. Amelia Smith realized andughed, That was just a metaphor. BesidesI never thought I would see you again. Never thought about it? William Lane asked. Amelia Smith shook her head gently, I tried to find you, but I couldnt. William Lanes pupils trembled, his heart beating more fervently. Suddenly, he realized that what he hadnt cared about years ago was something she had been thinking about for a long time. What was just a chance encounter for him had taken root in the young girls heart. I William Lane felt a little ufortable in his heart, grabbing her hand, I had been abroad for those years and rarely came back. Amelia nodded, But now weve met again, and were together. Mm. William Lane kissed her face. Amelia felt his lips burning hot, and after a while, she moved. William Lane immediately held her waist and whispered, Dont move. Amelias face flushed even more, her eyes fluttering aimlessly, I, Ill help you.
William Lane raised his eyebrows, smiling at her, How can you help? Amelia stared at him, her eyes filled with mist, her blush spreading to her neck, looking as if she was about to cry from embarrassment, but still gazing at William Lane. After a moment, her small hand clumsily fumbled for his belt. William Lane held her hand, his breathing bing more rapid, and his voice growing raspier, Amelia. Theres no need, itll get better after a while. Amelia blinked her beautiful eyes, clear and innocent, yet stubborn, Are you sure? William Lane: He suddenly wavered in his heart. Seeing he didnt move, Amelia slowly withdrew her hand. William Lane once again held her hand, his voice rushed, Its fake. And then he kissed Amelia Smith again. When Sofia Smith recovered a bit, Amelia and Eleanor Smith both left. William Lane left someone in Wakefield County to protect Sofia from the Turner family causing trouble. Hedrick Skyler, Harris Richie, and Enzo Thiago were all arrested, but the Turner family was left untouched. As for what would happen to the Turner family and what would happen between Sofia and Adam Turner, that was for Sofia to decide.
Back in Imperial Capital, Amelia began working on jade carving with Charlotte Lane during her spare time at school and at the Dance Association. Charlotte was quite busy, so the two of them usually met in the evening. Sometimes, they would workte into the night. When that happened, Kevin rk and William Lane would take them away one by one. But there were also times when Kevin and William would not dare to make a move with just a nce from Charlotte. Amelia was always obedient in front of William, and he could easily take her away. However, Charlotte was much more authoritative; if she didnt want to go, Kevin and William had no recourse. So whenever Charlotte was being stubborn, Kevin and William would y Rock Paper Scissors at the entrance. Whoever lost had to go in and fight Chapter 661 - 662: Side Story Thirty-Nine: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Seven) Chapter 662: Side Story Thirty-Nine: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Seven) As summer passed, the weather cooled down. Amelia Smith felt that it wasnt long before winter arrived. Sofia Smiths health had fully recovered, and she went to her parents home for a while. She mentioned the divorce to the Turner family, but they kept refusing. The Turner family of three would visit the Smiths almost once every two or three days, apologizing and saying nice things with a humble attitude. Sofia locked her room door and refused to see them. A few months passed without resolving the issue, and the Turner family eventually brought a sum of money to Max Smith. As Max was about to ept the money, Sofia chased the Turners out with a broom in her hand. Eleanor Smith visited home and learned about her elder sisters situation, so she told Amelia about it. Amelia discussed it with her elder sister and asked her toe to the Imperial Capital. So, Sofia ended up in the Imperial Capital. Amelia helped her rent an apartment and made sure she was settled in.
Actually, there are many empty apartments avable. Theres no need to rent one, said William Lane, who was workingte and wanted to eat noodles cooked by Amelia when he returned home. So he apanied Amelia in the kitchen while she cooked the noodles. Renting is morefortable and carefree, Amelia responded. Youre just being polite to me. William said slowly, standing nearby. No ones being polite to you. Amelia didnt look up from the noodles in the pot. Its my sisters decision to live in the apartment. Even if it was my property, she might not want to live there. Amelia paused before saying, Besides, Ill buy my own house in the future. Ill make big money and buy a big house. William smiled, Thats good. Ill stay home and take care of the kids while my wife supports me. Amelia suddenly smiled, Not a bad proposal. You can be my little wife at home. Williamughed and patted her head. My sister will also buy a big house, Amelia said, and find someone who truly loves her, so they can have a happy and warm home. She will, William agreed. Its nice to think about our good lives in the future, Amelia said with her eyes curved in a happy smile. William leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. What kind of job is your sister going to do when she arrives? Probably something in the new media field, Amelia responded. She learns quickly and has seen the potential in it. Itll be a great opportunity for her. Plus, Evan can help her during his spare time. Does she need any help? William asked. Amelia looked at him with a pleasing smile, Of course shell need help. Why wouldnt we use such good connections? William also smiled, hugged her waist, and kissed her lips. Just let me know whenever you need help. Sure. Ill share the profits with you when the timees, Amelia said. William nodded, It seems that my days as a little wife are not far away.
Amelias smile deepened in her eyes as she tiptoed and kissed William on the cheek. Sofia had rented an apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. When Daniel was on his winter break, he came to live with her and help out.
Amelia was quite busy, making time to visit, delivering daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables. Then shed have to leave without being able to help much. As Chinese New Year approached, Daniel needed to head home. On the day before, he packed his things to bring home. However, that evening, Adam Turner and his mother came looking for trouble. Nobody told him when Sofia had a miscarriage after being pushed down the stairs. He only found out afterward. This time, he encountered the troublemakers face to face. Daniel didnt do anything to them in front of Sofia; he simply drove them away. But the next day, Daniel fought with Adam Turner. That evening it was William who bailed him out of the police station. After getting Daniel out, William took him to dinner. As they sat in the restaurant, the first thing Daniel said was, Dont tell my sister about this. William looked at the wound near Daniels eye and said, I thought you could fight well. You hit Adam Turner, but you still let him fight back. It was my mom who hit me. Evan Smith touched the corner of his eye, She pped me, and if I hadnt dodged quickly, my face would be ruined.
So concerned about your appearance. Dont you care? Evan Smith said, Otherwise, how could you win my sister over? William Lane: Evan Smith nced at him again and said, Dont tell my sister. William Lane said, Then make sure she doesnt find out. Otherwise, she might me me for hiding it. After hearing him, Evan Smith became silent for a while, then whispered, Why are you so afraid of her? Arent you afraid? William Lane asked. Evan Smith: I am, when shes angry. William Lane raised the corner of his mouth, Arent you afraid of your wife? I dont have a wife. Whats there to be proud of having no wife? Evan Smiths forehead suddenly twitched twice. William Lane smiled, I can keep your secret. What should I call you next time we meet?
Evan Smith looked at him. William Lane stared back at him. A few secondster, Evan Smith admitted defeat, lowering his head and mumbling, Brother-inw. William Lane was happy, feeling refreshed. Finally, someone younger than Amelia Smith called him brother-inw. This Chinese New Year, Amelia Smith had the most lively celebration in her life. On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, she and William Lane went out to pay New Year visits. On the second day, Charlotte Lane brought her children, making their home even more lively. During these days of the Chinese New Year, William Lane also noticed that she was exceptionally happy, with a touch of childlike innocence in her joy. At the end of February, a heavy snowfall urred. The entire Imperial Capital was covered in white. Amelia Smith got up early intending to apany Old Master Lane for a walk, but after washing and rinsing, she looked outside from the second floor and noticed that it was snowing.
Before William Lane came out, she had already run to the ground floor. When William Lane went out, she had already rolled a snowball in the backyard. William Lane quickly approached, pulled her up, dried her hands, put on gloves, a hat, and wrapped a scarf around her: Arent you cold? Not cold. Amelia Smiths half face was hidden under the scarf, leaving only her beautiful deer-like eyes exposed, sparkling. Your face is already red, and you still say youre not cold. I have a good constitution; Im not cold. Amelia Smith finished speaking and pulled William Lane further into the backyard, standing under a tree, Brother, look, its blooming. White snow pressed on the branches, and a red plum blossom bloomed on the branch. In the entire snowy world, it bloomed proudly. It turns out to be a plum blossom. Amelia Smith said, So beautiful. William Lane looked at her and smiled, You didnt know, did you? They had transnted this tree in the spring. When Amelia Smith came to the old mansion, it was the end of summer, and all she saw was a tree with leaves. She didnt pay too much attention to it at the time. When I saw it, it wasnt flowering, so I couldnt recognize it, Amelia Smith honestly said. Ive only seen its flowers, not its leaves. So you can recognize it when it blooms, but not when it doesnt. William Lane said. Amelia Smith giggled, then suddenly took off her gloves and slipped her hand into William Lanes clothes: Thats right. William Lane shivered from her cold hand, but still held it firmly to warm it as Amelia tried to pull it out: Still say youre not cold? Chilling. Amelia Smith tried to pull her hand out. William Lane held her hand firmly: I have a good constitution; Im not cold. Amelia Smith: Chapter 662 - 663: Side Story Forty: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (End) Chapter 663: Side Story Forty: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (End) After the heavy snow, a plum blossom bloomed. Soon, red plum blossoms filled the branches. At the peak of the plum blossom season, William Lane and Amelia Smith held their wedding ceremony. William started preparing for the wedding since the day they received their marriage certificate. He spent many days making preparations as if he was always ready. The blooming plum blossom and Amelias smile on that day finally determined the wedding date for William. Ten miles of red makeup and a banquet for all to enjoy. Several monthster, the Imperial Capital weed another grand wedding. This time, the wedding was held at the Doomsday Hotel, so everyone quickly guessed that it was the wedding of the eldest son of the Lane Family. Whileizens congratted them, some fell into sorrow. William Lane and Hugo rks cpis over!!! [First, congrattions to Young Master Lane. ThenI want to say, werent the couple of Young Master Lane and Hugo broken up earlier? Didnt the identity of Brook Sister, the eldest daughter of the Lane Family go public, and they broke up? Why are some still shipping them?]
[Congrattions to Young Master Lane on his wedding. Althoughhow do you know its not Hugo rk and William Lane getting married?] [Oh! my! God! Sisters! I suddenly dont feel so sad anymore.] [Hahahaha, I suddenly feel alive again.] [All right, all right. Even though this is very entertaining, today is a joyous asion. Lets not make such jokes, its disrespectful to the bride.] [Thats trueWe all just want to have fun with the cp, and they can still be shipped even after getting married.] [Yes, yes, yes. Bless Young Master Lane and the bride to be happy and harmonious, grow old together and have children soon.] [Wow, dont you think the online environment has been somewhat purified? Everyone is so harmonious.] [Its because were discussing the Lane Family, and our Brook Sister is the eldest daughter of the Lane Family. Our Brook Sister has a really powerful fan who can locate you based on yourments. If you were an online troll, wouldnt you be afraid?] [Im scared, Im really scared. I thought it was nothing to say something on the inte before, but now Im genuinely afraid. Im scared my phone would suddenly ck out and start cursing me all day.] [Its only under thement sections about Brook Sister on the entire inte where its so harmonious.] [Trolls see its Brook Sister and walk around her.] [Ive seen a photo of Young Master Lane on the inte. He is incredibly handsome, with a cold yet gentle demeanor. Which sister with a blessed life caught his eye?] [Ahis there anyone who can read fortunes? Can you read if I have a fortune to marry into a wealthy family in this life?] [I wonder if some photos will circte online, I miss Brook Sister so much, its been so long since Ive seen her.] . Theres a lively discussion online, while on William Lanes side Hes stuck at the entrance of the house while picking up the bride. Amelia Smith was to marry from Sofia Smiths rental house. William and his team originally nned to break in like Kevin rk did, but after entering the living room, they found themselves stuck at the bedroom door. They miscalcted. Charlotte Lane is blocking the entrancethey couldnt break in. L, Im your biological brother. William said.
The bedroom door was wide open, but no one dared to enter. Yeah, Ive defected. Charlotte replied with an indifferent expression. William: Kevin rk standing behind Williamughed.
So how do we get in? Charlotte reached out her hand: Simple, red envelopes. William smiled and handed her one. Just like thest time Kevin got married, each red envelope was filled with a bag of golden beans. The only difference was that this time, all the small red cloth bags with golden beans inside were personally made by Aunt Cruz, and the happiness characters embroidered on them were also personally made by her. Charlotte took a bag and shared the rest with others. As everyone was stunned by the gold in their hands, Charlotte suddenly said, Isnt it a bit too little? William: Everyone: ??????!!!!! No one in the bedroom dared to move. Their initial vigorous momentum of blocking the door sank to the ground because of the bag of gold beans in their hands. Eleanor Smith and Sofia Smith stood next to Amelia, one on left and one on right, looking at the heavy bag in their hands. Amelia I feel uneasy holding this, Eleanor said. Eleanor Smith nodded on the other side.
Amelia Smith sat on the bed, dressed in a red dragon and phoenix gown, with her hair styled like a bride, wearing a pure gold phoenix hairpin. She seldom wore makeup on usual days, but today her eyes seemed to sparkle with a renewed charm due to the makeup. She looked at the two of them and said, I feel uneasy as well, but since were already uneasy, lets ept it. Sofia Smith felt as if her Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel meridians had been unblocked and said, Well said. Meanwhile, at the entrance, William Lane looked at Charlotte Lane, and after exchanging nces for two or three seconds, suddenly stepped aside and said in a bold and wealthy tone, Arthur North, give the money. Kevin rk stepped forward with a small bag and ced the bag in Charlotte Lanes hand. Then, without warning, he pulled her into his embrace and whisked her away. William Lane took the opportunity to rush into the room, followed closely by James Lane. As William Lane approached Amelia Smith, he distributed red envelopes to everyone in the room. Entering the room, William Lane went to Amelia Smiths side and gazed down at her for a moment before bending down to kiss her. You look especially beautiful today, child. And you look especially handsome today, brother. Amelia replied with a smile, then added, Hurry and find the shoes. Alright, William Lane responded, Ill marry you and take you home immediately. However, it was easier said than done, as the group couldnt find the shoes in the room.
Based on their previous experience, they popped all the balloons in the room, causing a series of shrieks but no discoveries. Seeing the slow progress inside, Kevin rk in the living room looked at Charlotte Lane. Charlotte touched the golden beans in the bag, nced at Arthur, then looked at the ceiling. Surprise shed in Arthurs eyes as he entered the bedroom and said, James, the ceiling. William Lane was shocked. James Lanes usually stoic face twitched as he dismantled the ceiling and took out the shoes. Who thought of this? Allonzo Hobson chuckled, Its brilliant. Arthur North replied, What do you think? Allonzo Hobson looked at the seed-eating Robinson Scott by the door. Robinson Scott met his gaze before quickly looking away, pretending as if nothing had happened. Allonzo Hobson: . With the shoes on, Daniel Harrisonbless carried Amelia Smith into the car. The wedding procession then proceeded grandly to the Doomsday Hotel.
The Doomsday Hotel was decorated with plum blossoms both inside and out. Real plum blossoms were used for the interior decoration. Outside, a watercolor painting of plum blossoms adorned the entire exterior screen of the hotel. Amelia Smiths parents did not attend, leaving only her siblings present. On the other hand, many people from the Lane family attended, and many prominent figures from the Imperial Capital were invited. The wedding feast carried a joyous celebratory atmosphere while also showcasing Amelia Smith to everyone. William Lane led Amelia Smith into the venue, with the wedding ceremony still hosted by George Dunn. After the couple paid their respects to heaven and earth, William Lane got down on one knee and hurriedly ced the ring on Amelias hand. He stood up, and amid the cheering and apuse from below the stage, he gently held Amelias face and kissed her. Madam Happy wedding, he said, rubbing her cheek with his thumb and adding, I love you. Light shimmered in Amelias eyes as she looked into Williams and, pausing for a moment, rose to her tiptoes to kiss Williams lips, whispering, Brother, I love you too. She loved him so much. For so many years. Her whole youth had been dazzled by him. Since their first meeting, William Lane seemed to be a single drop of ink that dripped into her in life and closed heart. The drop quickly grew roots, sprouted, and bloomed into a beautiful flower that would continue to bear fruit. Ink Sshed Plum Blossom (The End) 2022.09.30 Chapter 663 - 664: Extra Forty-one Chen Years: Whats so interesting about children? Chapter 664: Extra Forty-one Chen Years: Whats so interesting about children? Arthur, what are you doing? Hurry up, or well bete! Natalie Wayne called from downstairs. Six-year-old Kevin rk, dressed in a suit vest and a white shirt, came downstairs at a leisurely pace. Elina rk, who was downstairs, wanted to urge him on, but when she saw his handsome appearance, she couldnt bring herself to do so. Among her three sons, the youngest one looked the most like his mother. Although hes not a daughter, his appearance always softened her temper when dealing with him. When they reached the ground floor, Natalie Wayne helped him adjust his clothes: Today is your nieces full moon celebration, so we should go early and spend more time with her while there are fewer people. Six-year-old Kevin rk had big eyes, and because of his young age, his tender skin always seemed pink around the corners of his eyes and his lips were rosy. Roy Madisons sister? Yes. Natalie Wayne rubbed his little face, Uncle Lane sent a photo, and your niece is so pretty. Dont you want to see her? With an expressionless face, Kevin rk touched his pinched face and said tly, Whats so nice about a child?
Children are lovely. No matter how lovely, she wont be lovelier than Lily Parker. Kevin rk said. Natalie Wayne chuckled, As expected of a close niece, you know how to protect her. Lets go. Elina rk said, Well really bete if we dont leave now. Okay. Natalie Wayne took Kevin rk to the entryway, helped him put on his coat, and took him and Theo rks family out of the house together. When they arrived at the Doomsday Hotel, Natalie Wayne said after getting out of the car, Arthur, hold hands with Hugo today. There will be a lot of people, so dont get lost. Six-year-old Kevin rk and eight-year-old Hugo rk looked at each other. Then, they both simultaneously hid their hands behind their backs. Natalie Wayne, Calvin Stewart: . After entering the conference hall, the rk family went upstairs to see the children first. After the adults had seen the children and started chatting, the children crowded around the crib to look at the smaller child. The little girl had very ck hair, and her legs were kicking back and forth on the bed, while her arms also moved back and forth. Her eyes were big and single-lidded, and it seemed like she was curiously looking at a ce, yet it was also just a simple stare at a point. Upon seeing her for the first time, a voice inside Kevin rks head appeared: Tsk, this childis even prettier than Lily Parker. Gaining an advantage over Roy Madison in something as simple as appearance. This is my little sister, Charlotte Lane. William Lane introduced in an ostentatiously proud tone. Hugo rk stood aside without saying anything. Kevin rk said, Your sister is better looking than you. William Lane: And better looking than you too. Hugo rk said, Why is she always looking at Third Uncle?
Kevin rk looked at Charlotte Lane, and after a while, he changed his position a little. The little child in the crib kicked her legs, paused for two seconds, and then suddenly burst into tears. Kevin rk, William Lane, Hugo rk: !!!!!!!!! Old Master Lane and Andrew Lane immediately came over, and Old Master Lane picked up his granddaughter.
Andrew Lane was a step slow, his hand reaching for the crib stopped, and he regretted it in his heart, making a determined decision that next time he would be faster. He immediately stood up, patted Charlotte Lanes back gently, and coaxed, Alright, alright, dont cry, dont cry. Old Master Lane also held her softly andforted her slowly. Sophie Ortiz looked at them and then at the three little ones. The three little ones stood in a row, and when Sophie Ortiz and Natalie Wayne looked at them, they all shook their heads at the same time. Sophie Ortizughed, Did we scare you three? Its okay. Shes still young, and its normal for her to cry easily. One-month-old L, had a very loud cry, and was not easy to soothe, so the whole family took turnsforting her. This was Kevin rks first impression of Charlotte Lane. From the age of four, Kevin rk had been studying with William Lane under the guidance of Old Master Lane, and during these two years, he frequently visited the Lane Family home. asionally, he would even stay in Old Master Lanes courtyard. When Charlotte Lane was three months old, Old Master Lane would bring her along to his lessons with Kevin rk and William Lane. He even set up a baby crib by his side, cing her next to him.
During ss, the child rarely cried, only making soft noises. Especially when Kevin rk and William Lane were reciting, it seemed like she wanted to join in as well. When Andrew Lane was home, they would often see him sneaking in to cuddle with the child. Kevin rk had never liked children, and this remained true as far back as he could remember. For children, he reserved his limited warmth and patience solely for his own niece. As for other peoples children, he would avoid them as much as possible, not wanting to spend even a minute in theirpany. However, little Charlotte Lane suddenly broke into his world, appearing in front of him every day, leaving him no escape. He couldnt understand Old Master Lane and Andrew Lanes eagerness to take care of this child. Neither could heprehend William Lanes daily desire to hold his sister, get her bottle, and soothe her to sleep, among other things. Even more shocking to him was that on the childs first birthday celebration, she bit him. At the birthday party that day, Kevin rk stayed close to his mother. Natalie Wayne and Elina rk also stayed with Old Master Lane the entire time. And Old Master Lane didnt let Charlotte Lane get more than a meter away from him. By this time, little Charlotte was almost walking, her hair had grown long, and she had big eyes and rosy lips. Her little milky white face was chubby, making her very beautiful and incredibly adorable.
William Lane was by her side, ying with her using toys, eliciting continuous giggles from her. Howeveronce Kevin rk arrived and stood next to her, giving her a nce, Charlotte Lane stopped ying with William Lane, staring at Kevin rk instead. L, look here, look here William Lane tried using the toy to distract her. Charlotte Lane nced at him, humoring him with a little smile before looking back at Kevin rk. Kevin rk could feel her constantly staring at him, afraid she would want him to hold her. After a while, he moved, having Natalie Wayne block his view. And thenthree secondster, Charlotte Lane cried. Old Master Lane scooped her up in his arms before Andrew Lane could, asking, Whats wrong? Whats wrong? Natalie Wayne also brought Kevin rk over. Charlotte Lane, whose tearless cries had subsided somewhat, looked at Kevin rk, and after a moment, reached out to him. Old Master Laneughed, Whats the matter? Dont want Grandpa to hold you? Little L, now able to say a few simple words, mumbled unclearly, Hold. Do you want Uncle Kevin to hold you? Old Master Lane asked again. Little L reached out to him.
Kevin rk did not move. Little L was on the verge of crying again. William Lane extended his hand to her, Big brother will hold you. Charlotte Lane nced at him, but immediately shifted her gaze back to Kevin rk. William Lane pursed his lips, his puffed-up face showing his displeasure. He didnt want to y with Kevin rk anymore. Natalie Wayneughed and pulled Kevin rks hand, Go and hold your little niece. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
