Chapter 1597
Alex glanced over at the great mountains on both sides and suddenly commanded Garrett, "Stop!"The sky had just begun to turn bright. Throughout the night they drove, Jane had been asleep, sinking deeper and deeper into her dreams. At first, she leaned into Alex's arms. After that, Alex went ahead and lowered the seat so that she could sleep comfortably. Even the driver in the front seat could not help but feel his heart ache as he glanced over to Jane a couple of times.‘How long has it been since Mrs. Poole had a good night’s sleep? As expected of the Master, he really has it all planned out. We can't allow her to stray out there any longer. Any longer, she would die out there. Even if this is all plotted by the Master, at least he is doing it for her own good,’ he thought.At the time, the car had stopped inside the mountains, but Jane had not woken up, nor did Alex wake her. He leaned on his side with half of his body bent, and he let her sleep on his arm as he watched her.It

Never had Jane imagined that she would wake up to arrive at the place where her lover Noah had died. Noah passed away merely a month ago, just before his body completely decayed.‘No, is his body still here?’ she thought, as she stumbled toward the spot where Noah had fallen. Before she could take off, Alex grabbed onto her arms and said, "Slow down. Don't injure yourself."He supported her weight from behind gingerly, like he was offering his arms for a queen. She did not pay attention to a word he said and hurried over to the other side. The sound of someone wailing was heard even before they arrived and Jane noticed that it was her mother's voice.The old lady's voice was getting closer and closer. "What could an old hag like me do to deserve this?? My grandson died, and now my son. My son… Mommy has arrived late. Why couldn't I have died in your place?"The wailing was getting closer and, after making a turn, Jane saw a group of workers in jumpsuits working. If she was not wr

The old lady froze as soon as she heard the top elite of Kidon City called her ‘Mom’. She had not expected Alex to be someone so approachable, and in that moment, Alex's presence managed to wash away most of the despair she felt from losing her son.Jane could not help but cast a glance over at Alex and he took the opportunity to grin at her in a flattering manner."..." Jane did not say a word."Sleep, child. You've gone through hardships in the past few months. You couldn't really sleep all that time and the car just now probably isn't comfortable to sleep in as well. There's a bed in this car. Go to sleep. Mom will watch over you," the old woman said with concern.Jane nodded. She felt grounded with her mother next to her, and laid down obediently, but then, she sat back up again right away putting on the blanket.She looked at Alex and bit her lip. "Thank you, Alex. Um… My mom…""Once we get to Kidon City, we will bring her to the best hospital to fix her heart condition. You

"Wh--What did you just say?" Emma could not believe that those were the words coming from Jane. Though her father and uncle were in a feud, Emma was still a member of the Poole family.‘I am still Alex's cousin. His cousin! I was polite enough to say hi to her and she’s asking me to get away?’ she thought.In the past seven to eight years, Emma had never spared a moment looking at Jane properly. No one knew better than Emma in the Poole family and all of Kidon City that Alex would never marry Jane. Jane was just nothing but a tool to him. Merely a tool.Emma had mentioned to countless ladies of wealthy families in the elite community of Kidon City, saying, "Just wait and see! Someday my second cousin is going to dump that woman Jane. If my cousin and Lily can’t make things work, I will introduce him to you."Those words were the reason why Emma managed to become the most powerful woman in Kidon CIty for a time. However, her cousin Alex had overpowered her father Axel's position in

"Emma Poole, I've already died once. I don't care about anything anymore in this world; I don't even intend on keeping the child in my belly, so do you really think that I would be afraid of you?" Jane sneered as she stared at Emma coldly. "Scram! Don't let me see you again! I feel like throwing up every time I see you! If I get upset, I might just take my man's gun out of his nightstand and shoot you in the head one day!""..."Jane sneered again. "If you think that I won't dare to, why don't you try me?""Ah…" Emma immediately turned to flee.Jane snickered grimly in contempt.‘Emma is nothing but a fool, but she still managed to almost get me killed and even cost Noah his life. Now that I am back with Alex, I will not be scared of anyone. I used to treat everyone with respect and tolerance because I loved Alex. But now? I don't have a heart anymore, so I won't back down. I'm going to ignore them all,’ she thought as she continued to walk toward the Poole residence proudly.Beh

Startled, Emma sat up from her bed. "Who are you?"The hoarse voice on the other end was still asking for help, "H--help me…""Lily?""Mm…" Lily struggled to respond."Aren't you with Holden Payne? Aren't you pregnant with his child? What happened to you?"Meanwhile, Lily was locked inside a cell and her lips were so dry that the skin was peeling. Had she known that she would end up like this, Lily would have never gone to Holden for help. She had thought that he would keep her around for the sake of the child in her belly, but she had underestimated his viciousness.Holden had gone from South City to Kidon City before Axel sent him overseas by ship merely three months ago with Sean and Rose's retirement fund. Sean had wanted to send Holden to Europe so that he could extend his career with his sharp mind, but Holden changed his path halfway. He did not go to Europe, but instead went to the Middle East.The Middle East was plagued with wars and no one with an ordinary mindset wou
Chapter 1603
If that was the case, then Holden truly had to treat this woman well for the rest of his life. This was because Holden had never let women down! He was a feminist!However, this was clearly not the case. Lily was a woman who had traveled the world. It had already been a long while since she was first involved with someone, so would she still care about this?Since she had an unexpected pregnancy, then should she not have cut her losses at the earliest possible time so that the child would not suffer and her body would not be severely damaged?However, she traveled such a long distance and went through fire to come to him just to make him take responsibility?Was that even logical?This woman! She had always been full of sinister schemes. She had tried to frame Sabrina many times in South City!Thinking of that, Holden then dreadfully coldly came to the front of Lily, who had just temporarily settled down. “Pregnant with my child?”Lily already had no way out in the country and

The doctor was so frightened by Holden’s imposing manner that she dared not speak for quite a while. It was a long while before she stuttered, “Has it already been four months? To do an amniocentesis for a paternity test, you’ll have to wait until the fetus is four months old. Then only…”Holden said calmly, “It’s been exactly four months.”“Good… Good.”Lily looked tearfully at Holden. “Holden, you don’t believe me?”“Do you think I take you for a person with integrity?”Lily was speechless. Holden’s tone was unwaveringly calm. “I don’t care about a woman’s chastity. As long as the paternity test results show that the child is mine, no matter how many men you’ve fooled around with, I will still keep you by my side! If that child is not mine, but you want to make a fool of me…”There was a pause before Holden said incomparably coldly, “If you make a fool of me…”“No, Holden, no. I don’t want to do it anymore. I’ll leave your island immediately, alright?” Lily pleaded with Hold
