At the lotus pond, everyone saw a corpse. It was one of the Stoermer family’s people that had come to call Tristan over just now.However…“Huh? Isn’t that Caleb?” Carey cried out and almost fainted. That was her nephew. Because he had no special abilities, his body was sickly and frail since young, his bones were also weak, and he often fell sick due to his condition. Carey had been the one who arranged for him to be given easy tasks in the Stoermer family.The salary he earned running errands within the Stoermer family was still way more than the money he would earn in the outside world.Who would have expected him to die inside this lotus pond?The people from the Stoermer family quickly fished him out of the water.Zayn took a closer look, his face cold as he said, “He has been hit on the forehead by a palm, and his skill shattered, and he died on the spot! Who was it? Could it be the same person who harmed Tristan?”Tristan’s lips curled. “It’s not that person. I’m the
The overbearing pressure almost caused Zayn to kneel on the ground.Zayn was well aware that if the Coleman family from Missouri wanted to go against the Stoermer family in Michigan, it would be useless for him to ask for help from the Stoermer family in Alaska. They weren’t about to go against the Coleman family for the sake of Zendaya. After weighing the pros and cons, Zayn could only nod his head in humiliation. Seeing her father-in-law nodding his head, Carey suddenly felt depressed, and tears burst out from her eyes. Xyla said coldly to Tristan, “Then, why did you kill Caleb?” There was an impatient look on his face as he replied, “He saw what happened, so I killed him.”“...” Xyla’s eyes twitched wildly. “This is the place where it first happened? Did you meet anyone else?” Abel asked. “No, I can’t remember anything at all,” Tristan replied. The uncle from the Coleman family looked at the lotus pond, then turned to Zayn and asked, “Patriarch Stoermer, has anythi
Kazim was stunned.He couldn’t believe it at all!Weren’t they going to be in-laws?The two families were going to be in-laws soon. How could they beat up his wife?“Is… Was there a misunderstanding? The Coleman family couldn’t have suddenly beat you for no reason? Was it… Did you say something wrong?”“Did I say something wrong?” Carey looked at her husband with her red-rimmed eyes and completely broke down, punching and kicking him. “That’s right, and I said something wrong. My elder brother’s son has been killed by that bastard Tristan. I shouldn’t have scolded him. I should have given him my neck and let him kill me, and let him kill everyone in my own family, and happily let my daughter be married into their family!”Kazim didn’t dare to retaliate against the cries and rants of his sweet wife. Then, he was stunned again.“Caleb has been killed?”Zendaya was equally surprised. She glanced at Xyla, who had entered the room with her mother, and asked, “Aunt, what in the wor
Joyce snapped back angrily, “Carey Stoermer, it’s not your place to berate my man!”“Enough!” Zayn had finally spoken. He looked towards Kazim and Carey and said, “I know you’re unwilling to do this from the bottom of your hearts, but everything is for the sake of the bigger picture! Just now, the uncle of Tristan spoke of this with me. Daya will need to marry Tristan, or the Missouri Colemans will flatten the Michigan Stoermers and take her by force… Daya, for the sake of the family, I have wronged you!”Then, he sighed and said to Xyla, “Xyla, please persuade Daya.”Having said that, he turned and left. There was no light on his face, only a dull look.As for Joyce, she smiled and said, “Third sister, don’t feel too bitter about it. Isn’t it just a nephew? One that wasn’t anything special in the first place. Tristan is a proud son of the heavens. Even if he eats dung every hour, that isn’t anything to be bothered about. He’s still a son to be proud of! On the other hand, your
Winston Zeller was the head doctor in Michigan Premier Hospital and was also an honorary professor at Michigan Medical University. In all of his forty years of being a doctor, he had seen all sorts of patients, but he had never seen one as strange as the patient in front of him now. He watched as the man gulped down mouthfuls of soil that Abel had dug from downstairs. The young man ate the soil with gusto as though it was a luxury meal. “Does he have a mental disorder?“Or does he have pica?” Abel's face twisted uglily, and he looked at Winston and asked, “What do you think of my son’s condition?”Winston shook his head apologetically and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen a case like this. How long has this condition been going on?” Abel explained the entire matter, but of course, leaving out information related to everyone’s identity. In order to conceal that they were Missouri’s Coleman family, he and Jerome had worn masks to hide their faces. As for Tristan, he
“What do you mean she’s a ‘natural furnace’?”“You can look at it as her being a supplement. Tristan’s motive is to eat her.”Xyla felt a little sullen inside. “Haven’t you eaten Daya then? You’re still not admitting it?”Alex shook his head. “It’s not like that. It’s the other way around! I’m the one who got eaten! Previously, Zendaya was the one who drugged my wine and took the opportunity to eat me.”“Huh?”“You can even ask Zendaya.”Alex felt that since Xyla was Zendaya’s aunt and had seen the entire process, there wasn’t a need to hide it. He also needed to brush up his image, after all.Let’s face it. Being taken against his will after being drugged was already a miserable thing. There wasn’t any reason he should be taking the blame for being the culprit instead.Xyla’s shock could be described as Mars coming to hit Earth.This information completely toppled her. Zendaya had done something like this?However, this wasn’t a suitable topic, and she changed tones. “Alex,
Perhaps Hailey had just come back from the salon, seeing how she was dressed entirely in black.She was in a black chiffon skirt that was very short, just enough to cover her rear and exposing the entire pair of white, delicate legs. She also wore a pair of black high heels with thin straps. Alex followed behind her, looking at this stunning beauty in front of him. The way he walked was a little turbulent, as though there were ants in his pants, and he didn’t know where to put his eyes.When they entered the villa, it was quiet, with not a single soul in sight.“Where’s Brother Charles? Is he not home?” Alex asked as he took off his shoes. “He’s been on business trips lately. I haven’t even seen his shadow around for the past couple of days. I don’t know what he’s been busy with either,” said Hailey with a tinge of bitterness in her voice.Alex smiled and said nothing.Charles was managing such a large real estate company, so he definitely had many things to handle and all kin
“Nothing much,” Hailey said. “You’re a man and one with great strength. Help me move a box! I wanted Charles to move it, but he hasn’t been around lately, and this box has already been there for quite a few days.”“Haha, moving a box is no problem, of course.”Alex walked towards the top of the stairs and picked up the cardboard box.The box was indeed heavy, and he estimated it to be around 66 pounds. It was nothing to him, but to a woman like Hailey, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to move it.“It’s really heavy. What’s inside this?”“It’s a movable shelf that I bought for Zoey.”In the end, after moving it up to the third floor, the iron gates of the villa opened automatically, and a small car drove in.Alex was startled. “Is that Brother Charles?”Hailey’s eyes widened. “Impossible, he’s gone to Block City, and he won’t be back until the day after tomorrow!”“Snap inspection, perhaps?” Alex muttered in a low voice.The woman blinked, then raised her hands to hit hi
