Chapter 1148
Lily pondered the information for a minute. “Holden Payne? I haven’t heard of you before.”“You don’t have to!” His tone was cold and ruthless. With that, he pulled her roughly out of the bed, not caring whether she was clothed or not, and forced her to stand up. Before Lily could react, the man pummeled his fists onto her entire body, from front to back. Lily was in so much pain she felt as if she could hardly breath. “You…” Lily gritted her teeth and said, “What, what are you doing!” The man sounded disgusted. “I don’t want you to bear my children!”Lily struggled. After the beating, the man slipped into his own clothes, then counted to himself. Within this period of time, he did not say a single word. Before leaving, he took a stack of cash out of his pocket. After counting out the bills, he took two hundred-dollar bills out of the stack and flung them at her. “You don’t even deserve these!”Lily yelled out. “Holden Payne, stand right where you are!”Holden did not even

And the child! The little six-year-old child. She was so, so cute. The child called him Uncle Holden. No! Why would fate play such a cruel trick on him! It was impossible! After leaving his brother and his sister-in-law, Holden slipped into South City alone. He did not plan on returning home alive. He was determined to question his birth father, Sean Ford, why! Why did he abandon his wife and sons? As for anything else, he thought he might as well die. It would be best if he died in South City. That was why he was not worried if anyone called the police, and he was not afraid of making a big mess or attracting attention. Without even bothering to turn back, Holden left Lily’s room. Behind him, Lily roared in anger. “You, you don’t even want to know my name?” “Why would I want to know the name of a prostitute!”Lily gaped at him. She supported her waist that was almost beaten into a pulp by Holden, and painstakingly put on her clothes, then drove away pitifully. Her face was sti

The person crouching at the entrance was Jane Sheen.Half a month ago, Jane was thrown to the top of the mountain and beaten up under Lily’s orders until she was hanging onto her last breath. Then, Lily took away her only debit card. That night, Jane thought she was at death’s doors. She lay curled up alone at the top of the mountain, surrounded by the call of wild beasts and chirp of birds in the night. But at that moment, Jane was not afraid anymore. She was going to die anyway, what else was there to be afraid of? Laying on the top of the mountain, when she was in so much pain she could barely open her eyes, Alex no longer came to mind. That’s right! He never promised her anything. He only treated her like a servant. He was just a kind man who was very nice to his servants. That’s why he brought her along when he left the house, giving her the false impression that she was someone important, when in fact, she was still just a servant. Even the money that he gave her was saved

Just like that, penniless and with no way to communicate with the outside world, she begged for food on the way. It had been half a month before she finally walked back to Alex’s summer house. Jane was a simple-minded woman. She did not hold on to the hopes that Alex was still here. After all, half a month had passed. He must have returned to Kidon City with his real girlfriend, right? Besides Sabrina and a few of Sabrina’s friends, she did not know anyone else in South City. She returned here because the servants knew her. All she wanted was to borrow some money from them, and change into some clean clothes, then she would find someplace to rest her head at night, and later on, a job. If they were helpful, they might bring her some of her clothes. She had left in a fit of anger, without even taking anything. Jane looked pitifully inside, hoping a servant would walk out. But even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined the person she would meet was Lily, the woman who almost kill

On the other end, Alex’s tone was low and frustrated. “Lily, where have you been the whole day?” Lily glanced at Jane and smiled sweetly. “I’m fine. What’s wrong, Alex? You care about me so much, worrying the moment I go out to have some fun? It’s not like you don’t know I like to stay out and have fun.”“Come back!” Alex ordered coldly. Lily was startled. “Right now, Alex?” “Yeah!” Alex remained silent for a few moments, then as if he had come to a heavy decision, he said, “Lily, we have been apart for too long, almost ten years. Ten years is long enough to change someone entirely, we…”Lily was so nervous, she felt as if the air had frozen. Her fingers that were wrapped around her phone had turned pale. She thought to herself several times, please, please don’t say the words she did not want to hear. However, on the other end, after remaining quiet for a few minutes, he said, “We should break up!” Lily was speechless. Even if she had been preparing herself mentally for tw

“But make sure you don’t leave any traces behind!” Lily said ruthlessly. “Madam Parker, the pay…” “Ten million dollars!” “Madam Parker, there are five of us, we’ll only be getting two million each. At this price you want us to…Ten million each is more like it!” “You want fifty million dollars?” Lily asked incredulously.“Madam Parker, even if it’s five hundred million dollars, it’s nothing to you. What more fifty million…” Lily glared viciously at the woman curled up on the ground in a heap. “Five hundred million! Five hundred million dollars to get rid of a filthy b*tch like her!” After a pause, she was determined. “Alright, five hundred million it is! Don’t leave any traces behind!”After ending the call, Lily crushed her foot onto Jane’s cheek. “Five hundred million dollars! You hussy! You cost me five hundred million!” Jane did not resist anymore. “Wow, I’m worth five hundred million! When I’m about to die, you even gifted me four or five men!” Lily was fuming. Ho
Chapter 1154
Right when the four or five men were about to start raping her, countless snakes slithered toward them. Some of the snakes were red, some green, all glowing dimly in the night. On the cool mountaintop, the bodies of the snakes were even colder. The big and burly men were terrified, fleeing in all directions. Jane opened her eyes weakly. She was not afraid, she was going to die anyway. Perhaps death by a snake’s bite would be a more merciful outcome. Barely a few minutes after the men ran away, a man limped over to her. His movements were sharp and precise, catching the snake in its weak spot and throwing them all back into his bag. Jane kept her eyes open forcefully and looked at the man in front of her. He looked to be in his late forties. “You…you are…?” Jane asked breathlessly. The man’s voice sounded simple and honest, and slightly wizened too. “I stay here on this mountain together with my mother. She’s weak and can hardly see. I can’t afford to buy her supplements, so I

She lay on the man’s back and said weakly. “I…I don’t have a home, not since I was a child. I committed many sins in the past. Sir, you saved me. If you don’t mind, I’ll stay in your house and help you care for your mother. Once my body recovers, I’ll leave the mountain and find a job to repay your kindness.”The man smiled kindly. “Sure.” Just like that, Jane was saved by a middle-aged man living in the mountains. Sometimes, she felt like fate was cruel to her, and yet she was a survivor. She almost died several times, but every single time, she was rescued. In the future, she would not rely on anyone, she would work with her own two hands. She did not wish to be rich and powerful, she would be happy as long as she could fill her stomach.That night, Jane sat in a stone hut under the watchful eye of an old lady and drank a bowl of hot soup cooked with wild vegetables picked from the mountain. Then, she ate some wild chicken and fell asleep, extremely satisfied. That night, Lily
