How could she speak to President Dalton that way?"What's wrong with you? How dare you speak to President Dalton like that?" Janette broke out in a cold sweat. "Apologize to him immediately."Dalton laughed and asked Janette to leave.He approached Monica again and said, "Beautiful Lady, you have a temper, but I like it."He held Monica's tender hand as he spoke."Let go of me!"Monica was furious. She took the glass of wine on the table and splashed it all over Dalton's face. Then she stood up and got ready to leave the suite.Bang! Dalton was furious; he could not hold it in anymore. He kicked the coffee table, and all the glasses dropped onto the floor."Sh*t! How dare you!" Dalton was enraged as he waved to the bodyguards. "Tie her up!"The bodyguards immediately surrounded her and tied her up with some ropes.Monica had always been weak; she would never be able to defeat the bodyguards. On top of that, she was pregnant too. Even though she struggled, they could still t

Slap! Slap!The slaps got harder and harder.Janette was still furious; she pulled Monica's hair and kicked her at the abdomen."How dare you act so innocent here!" Janette scolded loudly as she continued to hit Monica.For all these years, Monica had been put high on the pedestal, always well respected. No one had ever hit Monica like this.She was also weak as she was pregnant. She felt extreme pain when Janette kicked her abdomen. She was scared and sad, and she continued to cry."Enough, don't injure her." Dalton smiled as he asked Janette to stop. He walked closer and smiled at Monica."Oh no, your face is all red," Dalton mocked as if he actually cared while touching the wound on her face."You—" Monica’s voice was shaking, her eyes filled with anger; she continued to shout, "Don't touch me, go away, leave!"As she shouted, Monica struggled, but her hands and legs were tied together tightly; there was no way to release herself. Seeing Dalton's face inched closer, and his

Darryl slapped Janette with all of his strength. She had no time to react; she flew backward about ten meters away. Her body hit the wall and dropped onto the ground; she even vomited fresh blood.Argh!All the few female artists started to shout as they hid at a corner; all of them were scared.Dalton was stunned; he said to Darryl in fear," Darryl, what are you doing? This is my suite, leave now!"Dalton still did not know the relationship between Darryl and Monica.Darryl's eyes burned with rage. Since he did not manage to meet her at Elysian Island, Monica was left alone at Donghai City with no one to help her.When he saw how Dalton had bullied her, and the marks on her face, Darryl was enraged!He did not speak, but the energy he released was terrifying; it filled the entire suite.How strong was that man?!Dalton was stunned; he immediately ordered his bodyguards, "Why are you still standing there? Kill him!"The bodyguards looked at each other; they were worried.Dar

"No, Brother Darryl, no—"Dalton was terrified, so he shouted.Darryl ignored him. He kicked him away and carried Monica out of the building."Why are you working here?" Darryl asked as he walked.Monica was in Darryl's arms."Your sister-in-law recommended me here," Monica replied weakly.Sister-in-law? Since when did he have a sister-in-law?Darryl was surprised when he heard that. When they left Secret Garden, Darryl felt some stickiness on his hand. He looked down, and he was shocked when he saw what it was.His hand was full of blood; it was from Monica's dress."Darryl, my abdomen is very painful," Monica moaned. She sweated profusely.She felt the sharp pain when Janette kicked her at her abdomen."Monica." There was a sharp pain in Darryl's heart."Our baby... Will we lose our baby? Our baby…" Monica held her abdomen and cried. Then she fainted."Monice, you will be fine. The baby will be fine too…" Darryl shouted. He carried her and ran toward the hospital.…No

"How many times did I tell you not to call me Brother Dax anymore. Call me Sect Master, and my wife is the Sect Mistress. Why can't you remember that?" Dax stared at him. "We are a Sect now; we need to speak and act calmly. Don't panic."The member was about to cry."What is wrong? Tell me," Dax said calmly."Brother Dax, Leroy... Leroy had escaped."What?!Sh*t! Dax immediately stood up; his mind went blank. "What did you say? How did he escape?"During the attack at the Kunlun Mountain, Dax had not killed Leroy, but he had captured him alive.He kept him alive because Leroy had joined the New World; he might be useful in the future.He had kept Leroy locked up in the dungeon. Dax had also ordered many elite members to guard the jail.How did Leroy escape?"Sect Master, Leroy wouldn't stop hitting his head against the wall last night. He pretended to kill himself. Then he dropped dead on the floor."The member added, "The brothers who were guarding the dungeon thought he wa

"Father, there are only women at the Fuyao Palace?" Lydia asked curiously.Leroy nodded. "That's right. Fuyao Palace would never interfere with the common society's matters, but they are more powerful than the Six Sects. We just need to reach the Fuyao Palace, and then we will be safe."Leroy did not slow down, but he continued to run as he spoke.Lydia’s delicate face showed she was in shock. She then could not help but asked again, "Father, do tell me more about the Fuyao Palace. How could they be stronger than the Six Sects? Also, will they accept us?"Leroy smiled. "Don't worry, they will take us in."Fuyao Palace only accepted female followers, and they had tens of thousands of members.There were some men in the Fuyao Palace, but they were mainly slaves. Their duty was to serve the female followers, and they had no human rights at all.There were seven Palace Masters at the Fuyao Palace; they were known as the Seven Fairies.A few years ago, the Kunlun Sect produced a spe

Ten men knelt by the seven fairies' feet; each of them held a plate of fruits for the ladies. Those men were slaves that they had captured.A disciple came in and said politely, "Palace Master, there is someone outside the palace who would like to meet you." "Who is that?" Cindy asked.As the eldest Palace Master, she looked the most elegant and powerful. Her aura was so strong that no one dared to look at her into her eyes, and would willingly submit to her authority. The member replied politely, "He claimed that he is Leroy Handerson from the Kunlun Sect. He brought this with him."She handed the jade to Cindy.Kunlun Sect Master Leroy?Cindy took the jade and nodded. "Let him in.""Yes, Palace Master."The member brought Leroy and Lydia into the hall.Wow!The hall looked so grand!The Main Flower Hall was decorated beautifully. Lydia thought she had entered heaven; she was amazed.Leroy smiled as he bowed politely. "Greetings, Palace Masters."He looked at Cindy and

Darryl felt uncomfortable as he waited outside the corridor.It was all his fault that Monica had ended in danger because he did not go to Elysian Island to pick her up that night.He would regret it his whole life if anything were to happen to Monica and the baby. He prayed that Monica would get through the danger.Darryl felt as if he had lost his mind; seconds felt like years on the long bench in the hospital.…At the Darby residence.Yumi was putting on makeup with a smile at the dressing table.The makeup set was the latest product from Poesia Eleganza. It had cost a fortune—almost the price of half a mansion."My dear, you don't need to put on more makeup. You are beautiful as you are now. After your makeup, all the other women would be jealous of you," Florian said with a grin.Even though he was henpecked, he would never stop with compliments to his wife to make her happy.Then, Florian let out a long sigh and sat on the sofa; he lit a cigarette. Seeing his unhappy

In the garden at the Darby mansion.Rebecca sunbathed as she sat on the long chair.Ever since she was pregnant, she would always take walks in the garden. People told her that sunbathing was good for the baby."Sister."Yumi smiled as she walked toward Rebecca. She sat beside her and said, "How are you feeling lately? The baby is almost due, do you feel any discomfort?"Rebecca shook her head. "I feel fine, Sister. However, I am always sleepy. But I dare not sleep too much as the doctor said not to spend too much time in bed. That's why I am here, walking around."Then Rebecca asked casually, "Do you need anything?"Yumi smiled. "It's nothing important. Your tummy is getting bigger, so I don't think you've gone shopping for some time now? I went to Atlantic Street yesterday, and I bought some maternity wear for you. Follow me. You should try it on.""Thank you so much." Rebecca felt touched. Ever since she got pregnant, the entire family claimed that she was pregnant with some

Her tears flowed uncontrollably. Rebecca stared angrily at Florian. "You bastard! How could you do that to me! How could you do that to Jackson! He is your brother!"Rebecca had never expected the brother whom she had always respected to be a monster!Florian laughed at her. "Jackson may think of me as his brother, but I had never felt the same. He is only my father's adopted son; he doesn't share the Darby family's blood."Florian continued to say, "Rebecca, you should know that I would be the leader of the Darby family. The family needs me, and I need to maintain my reputation."He charged toward Rebecca and pushed her into the coffin.Rebecca was pregnant. She fell into the coffin after the push and felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.Before Rebecca could react, Florian rushed forward and searched her body. Finally, he pulled out her cell phone. Then he closed the coffin and sealed it with some nails.Yumi, who stood beside him, sighed. "You will need to imitate Rebecca's handw
