Yvette held the bottle of water and stood up slowly.She looked at the waves in the distance, blinked, and looked away.Sean had led a thrilling life, which brought him to his death.Yvette did not see Snakehead or his subordinates walking out of the factory, so she figured that they must have left.Everything was over.Yvette would never come to this place again.After getting in the car, Tate handed Yvette his phone.“You can call your relatives and tell them that you’re safe now.”Yvette blinked. The complicated emotions in her heart surged.Life had to go on. Yvette went through so many dangers and trials, so she had to live a good life from now on. Yvette took the phone and called her mother.Soon, Mrs. Quimbey answered with a hoarse and tired voice, “Who is it?”“Mom, it’s me.”“Yvie? Is it really you?! I’m about to die of anxiety. Are you alright?”Mrs. Quimbey was choking up, so it was evident how anxious she was.Yvette relaxed her voice and replied, “Yeah, I’m
Clayton smiled inexplicably.“You’ll know when Yvette returns to Mediania. She’s strong enough to face the facts and accept whatever’s to come.”Nicole sighed.“My baby Yvette has suffered so much. I hope she can return to her usual self soon.”Clayton pursed his lips and smiled.“Mm. You’re right.”……Southeast Asia.Half a month passed.Tate followed the police to investigate the case and was wrapping up his work.None of Sean’s subordinates were left behind, and they were all arrested.Yvette was accompanied by one female police officer from day to night.She did not know if the officer was there to take care of her or to monitor her.However, she did not care.Tate knocked on the door while he carried a fruit basket. The female officer opened the door.Tate nodded and said, “Can I have a few words with Ms. Quimbey?”The female officer nodded and left the room.Tate went in and looked at Yvette, who was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine and watching TV. She look
Yvette walked through the long corridor. As soon as she got out, she saw Lance sitting in a wheelchair in the crowd, looking weak.His high nose bridge and profound features made him stand out. Lance was thinner, so the clothes he wore in the past were a little loose.Yvette’s eyes felt sore and moist.Those long-suppressed grievances and longing seemed to have found an outlet.She had the urge to rush over to him.Her husband was right there, and she would be with him for the rest of her life.Yvette smiled and walked into the crowd when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.People were coming and going in the crowd. Most of them were picking up friends and relatives at the airport.Yvette did not see who grabbed her, but when she went forward again, she was pulled back.She subconsciously looked to the right and saw a familiar person.For a moment, the blood on her face drained, and her pupils instantly shrank.“Farley…”Farley stretched out his finger and made a hush gesture
At that moment, Lance and Yvette’s eyes met, and the surroundings fell silent.There were all kinds of people all around, but they did not seem real.Yvette did not hear the buzzing in her ear.She just felt happy to see such a lively Lance.She was elated.The scene that she fantasized about on the plane might really come true.Yvette always felt that she had lived an exciting life.However, at this moment, she felt that she had never really settled down since she got married.Yvette and Lance started from trying to date each other to actually liking each other.To this day, Yvette knew that she did not just like Lance, she really loved him wholeheartedly.Something in her chest wanted to burst out and tell him how she felt out loud, but when she opened her mouth, she could only feel a sharp pain coming from her heart.Yvette expected this.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Farley had regained his footing, pushed away the people blocking him, and approached them.
The old master talked to Yvette for a long time. He had been living recklessly and dangerously for his whole life. In the end, he gave up everything and turned himself in because of his daughter.The police officer saw that it was almost time and went over to remind him that they had to leave.The old master stood up with his trembling body and looked at the haggard Mrs. Quimbey. His eyes were filled with remorse and guilt, and he blamed himself endlessly.“I’m sorry. I promised that I wouldn’t meet her and recognize her, let alone disturb your lives. But this still happened… I’m really sorry.”He looked at her with sad eyes and restrained feelings. However, he did not dare to reveal his emotions.That was because he was afraid of seeing Mrs. Quimbey’s disgust and hatred.Mrs. Quimbey did not respond.The old master closed his eyes and left with the police.Lance stood there and looked at Yvette’s portrait deeply. He was cold, dismal, and silent.Mrs. Quimbey took a deep breat
Euan talked about their current joint project and suddenly thought of something else.“Actually, I’m exploring another project, but I don’t know if it’ll be successful.”Nicole replied, “Oh? Tell me about it.”Euan clicked his tongue. He could not care less about the mask on his face and said, “I heard gossip from someone that a hot spring has been dug out in Mount Baldwin. It’ll be profitable to build a hot spring resort there…”Seeing his excited expression, Nicole smiled calmly.“Gossip?”Euan’s eyes flickered.“My younger brother is an avid rock climber and has gone to Mount Baldwin dozens of times. He told me about it when he came back this time.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is there a report from the relevant authorities?”Euan laughed.“If there was, it wouldn’t be gossip anymore. It’s just that it’s in another province far away, so I’m not so sure. Ms. Stanton, if you’re interested, shall we go and check it out together one of these days? Even if it’s not true, we ca
Julie was a half-assed cook, and Kai had no talent at all. Otherwise, he would not have been beaten by Floyd in the past.When Nicole went into the kitchen, they had already cooked several dishes.They made cucumber salad and pickled onions.There were also all kinds of burnt seafood on the side.Nicole could not bear to look at it.Julie smiled and pulled Nicole to the side.“I just ordered your favorite seafood and sashimi from the Millennium Hotel, so we don’t need to serve this.”Nicole nodded in agreement.Even though Nicole cooked before, Nicole did not cook anymore since she dated Clayton because he did not let her into the kitchen.Thus, she was a little rusty.Seeing the unappetizing dishes that could not be served, Nicole also agreed to wait for the arrival of the takeout.As a result, when they went out of the kitchen, they heard Floyd telling Clayton not to help out because it would be too tiring.Kai coughed dryly and objected in dissatisfaction.“Dear father,
Fischer also stood up and said, “Chatty, are you thirsty or hungry? If you’re tired, you can tell me, and I’ll carry you.”Chatty nodded happily. “Okay!”Clayton cursed inwardly. ‘What a two-faced boy!’Fischer smiled happily and walked up. Although he was thin, he was very agile, and he did not need Nicole to pull him along.He was not tired at all. He just wanted to help Chatty relax a bit.Now that Chatty reached her goal, Fischer would continue as usual.Clayton was speechless at first, but he was subjected to Chatty’s brainwashing, which proved quite effective.Chatty hugged and kissed Clayton from time to time and wiped Clayton’s sweat.She said that he was the best dad in the world and praised him, saying that he was really good-looking and even more handsome than Fischer.Chatty also said that she would learn from her mom and find a boyfriend like Daddy in the future.…...After a while, Clayton was much more spirited in carrying Chatty up the mountain.He did not
