"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"I'm sorry, but we don't hire women over 30 here," the restaurant manager told Liana impatiently as he shooed her away.As Liana walked away apathetically, she heard the manager murmur softly: " Who would want to patronize my business if I had an ugly old waitress?" Liana frowned slightly. She thought about turning around and telling the manager that she was only 25 years old!However, she restrained herself when she saw her reflection in the window next to her.Her face had lost its youth and the glow that once decorated her eyes had long since faded.An emaciated frame, dry hair, a wrinkled face, and outdated clothes added at least 10 years to her appearance.She realized that she had become an old woman in recent years...even though she was only 25!Liana smiled bitterly as the hardships of the past few years flooded her mind. As she dragged her tired body away from the scene, she noticed a car stopping behind her.The arrival of a Maybach car did not go unnoticed by the restaurant
Sometimes dense can be cute, but Liana had the lethal combination of being dense and stubborn. Because of this, trouble tended to haunt the woman and the people around her. In fact, you could say that their marriage was ruined by his stubbornness and density. However, he did not expect her to be dumb enough to be unable to take care of herself, even with the large amount of alimony he had given her.Simply put, his encounter with Liana that day left a great impact on him. Edward was lost in thought, so he didn't answer Betina's questions. Before long, the car arrived at the restaurant.The two families were already there. Since the dinner was to discuss the nuptials, the attendees included his parents and their son, Dylan White. He had him with Liana.The little boy was a baby when they divorced, so he was four now.“Why don't we choose November 2 as the wedding date? It's an auspicious date and the national day of our country”. Edward's mother, old Mrs. White, said, smiling.Betina'
He smiled and said: "What wonderful news! It's great that you have recovered your memory! Let's forget all about the past and start over again. Sis, after my graduation this year, I promise I will work hard to support our family. Your body is still weak, so stay at home and rest. Leave everything to me, I'll bring plenty of money to support the three of us!”Liana answered with a smile. "I believe you, but please stop worrying about me, I assure you I'm fine," Liana understood Jack's words and realized how worried he was about her."Sister, you're still human, so how can you be okay with the drastic changes? You were a star student at the S Academy, heading for a bright future if not marred by that godforsaken accident.", Liana's encounter, if experienced by anyone else, would be extremely disheartening. Anyone would be frustrated if their bright future was forcibly taken away.However, Liana was not just any random person. She believed that her ability was not defined by a certificat
Jack asked curiously: "Who could it be?’’They were not used to receiving guests, so his interest was piqued, and as soon as he opened the door, he found a man dressed in an elegant suit."Excuse me, does Miss Liana Legrand live here?”"Yes, she does, but who are you? What do you want with my sister?”, Jack asked, and the man smiled."Excuse me, I am Tony, Mr. Edward White's personal assistant, and the president has asked me to deliver something to her, is she home by any chance?" The moment Tony revealed that he worked for the White Family, Jack's expression faded. However, his good manners still compelled him to say."My sister isn't feeling very well at the moment, but please come in," he said, making room."Thank you.”The horrible acoustic protection of the walls of their apartment and the tight overall space of the apartment meant that Liana could hear their conversation, even if she was inside her room.Their apartment had only two bedrooms and a living room, although the livin
