Chapter 940
On the other hand, a pair of old flames bumped into each other in the hotel hallway.Ella and Leslie accidentally met each other in the atrium. Much time had passed. He was much more mature now, emanating an air of decisive authority. She was the only one who had the privilege of peeking into his inner thoughts.“It’s been a long time, Ella!”He didn’t usually like to speak so formally. If he didn’t do this, however, he was afraid he’d say something totally inappropriate.Farley had passed away several years ago. On the other hand, he had divorced his wife for a long time too. Now, no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do because he had complete control over the Schmidt family. Ever since she returned to Brookesville, he’d show up around her from time to time. In fact, he had asked Zoe’s help to convey his feelings to Ella. He’d also prepare thoughtful gifts and mail them to her every year. He had never once received a response. That night, however, he didn’t wan
Chapter 941
At the end of the day, Archibald was disheartened. He recalled how he had reconciled with Gwynn back then. It was as lively and cheerful as tonight, too. The stained-glass pendant lights were hung all over the entire villa.Yeah. Those pendant lights were a thing of beauty. So, he summoned Saul. He said casually that he wanted to fiddle with it and asked his assistant to fetch one over for him.Saul was stunned. After a moment, he freshened up his master’s cup of tea and said warmly, “You must’ve forgotten, Mr. Archibald… All the pendant lights in the villa were smashed on your orders.”The old man didn’t come to his senses for a while. “Smashed? Are you telling me that not even a single one is left?”Saul didn’t respond to that question.Archibald dropped the matter and resorted to sitting there quietly, wallowing in the bitter feeling of being alone.So much time had passed. He was surprised at how lonely he had become. Anderson had rebelled against him for the past yea
Chapter 942
Anderson and Talia were staying by Ollie’s side within the VIP ward, facing each other. They were supposed to be the closest people to one another. However, they were treating each other like strangers. The little boy lay on the bed, but he slept poorly. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he was murmuring in his sleep. “Mom… Dad…”Talia was heartbroken to see her son this way. She grumbled to Anderson, “I’m not going to pin the blame on you for Ollie having this condition. All I ask is a promise from you. If none of the family members have compatible bone marrow for my little boy, then I want you to get Gwynn, Lorian, and even her unborn baby to donate their bone marrow… I don’t care what it takes, I want Ollie to live.”He was stunned. “It’s her choice if she wants to donate her or her children’s bone marrow to our son. More to the point, Gwynn is pregnant now.”Talia said matter-of-factly, “She could always get an abortion.”At the next moment, he slapped her right acro
Chapter 943
Lorian’s face went stiff. Staring at Talia fiercely, the young boy said, “She’s not my mom! She’s a vampire!”Talia’s delicate face was contorted with rage at once. However, she maintained her patience, knelt before him, and tried to convince him in a lovely tone, “You’re a good boy, Lorian! Your little brother is sick. So, I’m going to need you to give him your bone marrow. Will you do it?”Lorian grumbled, “No way! I’m not doing it for a bloodsucking vampire!”Then, the young boy’s teacher noticed what was going on. She was about to go over and calm the kid down when Gladys came over in a car to pick up Lorian. The first thing the old lady saw when she got out of the car was Talia trying to trick her grandson. Swooping him up in her arms, she glared at the younger woman fiercely. “What’s the matter with you? Have things gotten so bad for the Templetons that you have to kidnap a young boy?”Talia’s face went pale. “I’m Anderson’s wife.”Gladys spat and said, “And I’m Noah’s
Chapter 944
Gwynn’s face turned red after she heard what Noah said.Her feet would be shaking like a newborn calf every time he finished ‘repaying’ her. Being pregnant didn’t keep him away from her either. He might not have been able to do it for real, but he’d find a way to rouse her desire so much that it felt worse than death. With that said, she didn’t want to appear scared. So, she picked up a book and pretended to read it. “I don’t need you repaying me for anything!”She looked so elegant as she spoke. Initially, he didn’t mean it that way, but he couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and persuade her to tell him her plan.She leaned on his chest. Her black silk sleeping gown was hanging loosely on her lean shoulders, revealing her glowing, delicate skin that seemed to be calling to him. Rubbing his dashing face, she filled him in on her plan in a gentle voice. He couldn’t help but feel more impressed with her. His urge to ‘repay’ her was very strong right now.He pondered on it
Chapter 945
The night grew darker and quieter. An eerie silence hung over the Templeton villa. Marisol was packing up her jewelry, clothes, and valuables into a couple of big suitcases in the master bedroom on the second floor. …Anders was smoking outside. There were more than ten cigarette butts in the ashtray. Later, she dragged the suitcases out. She asked him, “Are you leaving with me, Anders? We’ll remain a married couple if you join me. I’ll respect your decision if you want to stay, but it will also mark the end of our marriage.”Her voice was restrained when she said, “I can’t bear to stay in this family for another second.”She loved Archibald and treated him like her father. However, the universe had played a cruel joke on her. Never had she thought that the wise, old man would’ve been that moronic. He actually cared about himself so much that he refused to save his own grandson. He had left Anderson to die back then. Anders continued to smoke. It was hard for him to ma
Chapter 946
Gwynn forced a smile in response. Both of them bared their souls for a while and went to sleep. That was when Noah’s phone, which he put next to his pillow, started ringing.He saw the caller. Squinting his eyes, he answered the call. On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man spoke. “Archibald secretly did the compatibility test for Gwynn. The result says that her bone marrow is compatible with Ollie’s. I think he’s going to move in on her soon. “Now, I’m aware that you built up some reputation and power in Hucksburgh. I suggest you transfer her there immediately. Better yet, send both of your kids there as well! It’s too dangerous for them to stay in Brookesville.“He’s locking Marisol in the villa against her will.“It’s official. Archibald has lost his mind.”…Noah wore a blank expression. “Got it.” Hanging up, he looked at Gwynn. He knew she heard everything, but she appeared utterly calm. Pulling her over gently, he made her lean on his shoulder and told her
Chapter 947
Saul went to the parking spot and was about to get into the car, but Archibald said dryly, “This is a family affair, Saul. You should stay away from this point on.”Saul responded with a smile, “Anything that concerns you is my business, Mr. Archibald.”The old man shot him a glance. “I don’t intend to drag anyone else into my family affair and create unnecessary trouble.”Saul dropped the matter and watched as six limousines drove out of his sight. He waited until all the cars were out of the villa before pulling out his phone, changing the SIM card, and making a call. “Something bad happened, Mr. Noah.”“Archibald wouldn’t let me follow him… I don’t even know which hospital he’s going to.”…Back in the director’s office in the Sanders Group, Noah hung up the phone and walked outside at once. He relayed an order when he passed by Kim’s office, “Summon as many bodyguards as you can from the security firm. I need them with me.”It was a brief order, but it hinted at a dire sit
