There was only one thought left in her mind, ‘This was already the second time! This was the second that this son of a bitch had tossed my shoes! I hate him!’The shoe was now indefinitely unwearable. Cheryl felt slightly awkward and tried to comfort the both of them.Seeing Phoebe's red and swollen ankle, it was apparent that Alex had kicked her quite hard. Knowing that Alex had unusual methods of healing for injuries like this, she said, “Alex, Phoebe’s leg is hurt quite badly. It will affect her participation in the Triangle River Delta Medical Exchange conference the day after tomorrow.”“What conference is that?” “That’s the main reason I asked you to dinner tonight.”Phoebe rolled her eyes, thinking about how they had been happily chatting about everything and ignoring her, yet they hadn’t said a single thing about the most essential matter.Cheryl thought that Phoebe’s injury was the most important thing right now, so she asked Alex for his help.Alex frowned. “I haven
She was stunned.Goosebumps appeared all over her body.“Colby Withers, what the heck are you playing at? Isn’t Cheryl the one you like? Everyone in university knows about how you’ve been chasing her for five years and how you liked her for those years. You should be confessing your love to her. Why are you confessing to me?” Cheryl was also taken aback.This was not the same as what she had imagined. But very quickly, she rejoiced in her friend’s misfortune and said while smiling at Phoebe, “You said it yourself just now, that if it were you, you would agree. Hurry up and accept him, then!”Alex also chipped in, “That’s right, you were boasting all about him just now, praising him up to the sky and how there was no one better than him on earth, and that he is a hundred times better than me. Such a good chance for a relationship here... you shouldn’t waste it, lest you be struck down by lightning for forsaking such a waste!”“You… I…” Phoebe was furious, but she was also speec
Colby looked at Alex and felt more grateful toward him than he ever did. “Bro, thank you, thank you!” he gushed.Alex smiled. “Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. I wish you and Miss Larsen an early marriage, and may you have children quickly. Remember to write me a cheque on the child’s first month!”“Of course, for sure. It’s a promise,” Colby hurriedly said. Seeing that Alex was about to pay the bill for the food, he quickly said he would settle it.Then, Alex pulled Cheryl out the doors and left.“Cheryl? Cheryl, don’t go!” Phoebe yelled, but Alex’s kick had injured her foot, and she didn’t have one shoe. Even if Colby had intentionally blocked her path or not, it wasn’t like she could walk even if she wanted to.***After they walked out of the steakhouse, Alex didn’t really leave the place but stood outside instead. He was well aware of the nature of some guys, and though Phoebe did upset him, something terrible might happen to her if he left her here just like th
Alex never expected to run into Claire here.What he worried about was whether or not she would go back and tell Dorothy about it.As for Cheryl, her eyes lit up when she heard Claire’s words.‘Alex and Dorothy are divorced?’She hadn’t known about this before, and when she heard this, she was secretly happy on the inside. She and Dorothy hadn’t gotten along, after all, and felt that a woman like Dorothy was not worthy of Alex. All of the Assex family had never treated Alex like a human being, especially Claire, now standing in front of them. Her freshest memory of Claire was how she continued humiliating Alex in every possible way.So, she immediately said, “You have so much free time to care about others! Do you think you can do anything you want now? When he was your son-in-law back then, you treated him like a slave. Now, he’s no longer your son-in-law. What... Do you still intend to have him work as a slave for your family? You can’t bear to see him have a good life? I say, a
Phoebe cried and said, “It’s not Colby Withers. It’s you and that asshole named Alex.”“Don’t cry, Phoebe. What in the world happened?”“I… I was almost taken away by a man. Cheryl Coney, are you still my friend? You knew that your stinking man had hurt my leg, and I have only one shoe, yet you still left me to Colby’s mercy. What if he does anything to me?!”“Sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll come back soon.”Alex and Cheryl went back, and of course, Phoebe was no longer at the steakhouse.Finally, they found her on a bridge.She was sitting on the bridge’s blue-striped stone steps, both her shoes gone from her feet. Her left foot was wrapped in something, and upon closer inspection, it was a sanitary pad. And it was still dripping with blood.There were also tear tracks on her beautiful face.When Phoebe caught sight of Cheryl and Alex, she turned her face away deliberately, showing that she was still angry.Cheryl immediately kneeled to check on her injury but was pushed away. “You
“Baby, you’re the most beautiful and sentimental woman I have ever been with. It made me feel the taste of first love. It’s wonderful, very wonderful.”Doctor Quinn laughed loudly, hugging Carol, his hands roaming all over her. Finally, he opened his mouth, filled with bad breath, and leaned in to close the gap.Carol wanted to avoid it immediately. The urge to throw up came at the same time.However, to survive and get revenge, she had endured more disgusting things before this, and she could endure anything else now too. And so, she responded enthusiastically and took the initiative to hook her arm around the old man’s neck.Once it was over, she began to weep. “Husband, I didn’t expect that before I die, I would meet such a good man like you. I’ll be able to die in peace like this.”Doctor Quinn stared at her. “What do you mean die? With me around, it’s hard for you to even think of dying.”Carol shook her head. “You wouldn’t understand.”“Hmph, what do you mean I wouldn’t
Doctor Quinn placed his hand on Carol, a sinister smile appearing on his face. “Seamus Owen, it appears you're still unaware of your situation. Your middle energy core had been abolished before this, and your Demon Arts has long been destroyed. Did you think I could heal you? From the moment your energy core shattered, you became a useless person. Do you think your master would come and kill me for the sake of a useless person like you?”“What did you say? But, didn’t you heal Loui’s energy core back then?”“That was then, this is now! Loui’s energy core only received some injuries to his meridians, and it hadn’t been destroyed, unlike yours. Yours have been completely shattered, so there is no way to save you.“Argh—”Presently, Seamus was rolling all over the ground in excruciating pain, blood covering the entire area. However, the despair he felt was more than the blood on the ground.Just when Doctor Quinn was about to put him out of his misery, Carol said, “Dear husband, co
“What did you say? Be your handmaid, and call you ‘master’?!”When Phoebe heard Alex’s words, she was so annoyed that her nose was about to be bent out of shape. “Where did you get such confidence from? Don’t you know who I am? If I dare to call you that, do you dare to respond to it?”Cheryl was also in a daze.This was not the kind of joke that should be played!Asking the daughter of a magistrate in Michigan to call you ‘master?’ If her father heard that, this little joke would become a big deal.Alex, however, was indifferent. “Why wouldn’t I? Even if you called me ‘daddy, I’d still dare to respond.”“What? You want me to call you… Daddy?”“Oh, my daughter is so obedient!” Alex laughed. Phoebe felt her anger reach its peak and explode. However, she had an injury on her foot. When she stood up from the sofa, she bumped her wound and sat down immediately. Then, she said to Cheryl, “Cheryl, look at this, what kind of man have you found? No good qualities, no good character,
