After getting the money from Suzy, Rex left Elliot alone in the motel and went out to squander the money by himself.
Elliot skillfully took out a bag of instant noodles and put it into the old but clean electric rice cooker.
While waiting, he took out a sudoku book from under the pillow and filled it out very seriously.
Suddenly, the landline in the room rang.
He put down the sudoku book and walked over to answer it.
"Hello!"
The voice was calm and emotionless, like that of a robotic machine.
On the other end of the phone came Charlotte's worried voice, "Elli, have you arrived home? When did you come back? Have you eaten?"
Elliot glanced at the rice cooker in the distance. "I'm cooking instant noodles. They'll be ready soon!"
Charlotte was surprised, "You're eating instant noodles? Didn't your dad
Rex stepped back in horror.His right foot slipped on the wet riverbank, causing a few pebbles to roll into the river, making a sound and splashing small water droplets.His legs instantly went weak, and he knelt down on the ground."Please, don't kill me. I'll give you anything you want. Money... you want money, right? I'll give you money... I'll give you all my money..."The man wearing the duckbill cap snorted disdainfully, "Blame yourself for offending the wrong people. We'll give you a quick death as a favor for your begging."With that, the two men approached Rex with their knives.Rex instinctively stepped back, but his foot landed on empty space, and he was too scared to move."Who sent you to kill me?"Apart from those he owed money to, he couldn't remember who else he had offended.If it
She saw it was an unknown number, hesitated for a moment, then answered and put it to her ear. "Hello..." A voice filled with agony came from the other end of the phone: "It's me..." This voice, even if turned to ashes, Suzy wouldn't forget. Her hand trembled, and the phone almost slipped from her grasp. Rex thought she didn't recognize him, so he explained, "It's Rex James..." Suzy forced herself to calm down and asked, "Why are you calling me?" In truth, what she wanted to ask was, why aren't you dead yet? Why haven't you died yet? But she knew that if she said those words, it would give herself away; Rex would surely know she had sent someone to kill him. She couldn't afford to alert him now. She needed to know where Rex was hiding
Rex was completely defenseless.Suzy fiercely stabbed the fruit knife into his body.The room immediately filled with screams.The smell of blood permeated the air.Rex sat on the ground, looking at Suzy in disbelief, a large pool of blood forming beneath him."You, you..."Suzy's eyes widened, her pupils almost popping out of their sockets as she looked down at Rex from above, a few drops of blood splattered on her face, making her look fierce and terrifying."You scum, you ruined me four years ago, and now you want to come back and destroy me again. I've finally climbed up to Ethan, I've worked so hard to get to where I am today, I absolutely can't let it all be ruined by you."Rex suddenly understood. His eyes widened abruptly."So, you sent those two killers last night?"S
Suzy pretended to call her assistant, asking them to find a tow truck. After some back and forth, three hours passed, and the mechanic still hadn't arrived. Suzy ended up fixing the car herself. Samantha looked at her expressionlessly, highly suspicious that she was just playing her. Once the car was fixed, Suzy drove Samantha back to the company. To avoid running into acquaintances, she deliberately chose a less crowded area of the company where few people walked around. After getting out of the car, Samantha couldn't help but say, "Don't contact me in the future, especially for such boring things like today. My time is precious." In short, she felt her time had been wasted. Suzy didn't get angry at her words. Instead, she smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I believe we won't see each other again in the future!"
Mr and Mrs. Fletcher took the pregnancy test report puzzledly.After reading the contents clearly, they frowned and said expressionlessly, "She's pregnant, but why show us the result?"Samantha looked puzzled. She didn't know who Mrs. Fletcher was referring to.Justin's handsome face sank, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.Just then, his phone rang from his pocket.Seeing the call was from Karen's bodyguard, his expression darkened even more.He answered the call and put it to his ear, "What's the matter?"The bodyguard on the phone and the steward spoke simultaneously; “Sir, something bad happened. Miss Karen has been rescued.”"Miss Karen was outside, she said the child in her belly belongs to the young master."
Coming out of the Fletcher family, Justin was afraid that Samantha would overthink things, so he held her hand and comforted her, "Sammie, trust me, I will handle this matter well. I will absolutely not let you or Charlotte suffer."Samantha naturally believed him.Especially after Karen had done a series of bad things."Well! I trust you! But Karen is cunning, so be careful. Since she dared to come, she must be fully prepared."This matter might not be easily resolved.Justin smiled happily, "Are you caring about me?"Samantha gave him a glare, "What do you think?""I think you are caring about me!" Justin laughed like a child.Samantha shook her head speechlessly, then changed the subject, "My grandfather will be discharged from the hospital in two days. I plan to bring him to my house. He doesn't know about our mar
Seeing him, Karen's whole body's hair stood on end, she looked at Justin warily, and unconsciously moved back.“It's so late... why are you here?”Justin sat down by the bed, placed the hot milk he was holding on the bedside table, and gently held Karen's hand."I wanted to come and see you and our child."Karen was stunned, looking at him with surprise, for a moment not reacting.Justin softly said, "You can rest assured, if the paternity test shows that the child in your belly is mine, I will take responsibility! I was too impulsive before, and I apologize for my words and actions."His change in attitude left Karen incredulously wide-eyed."You will really take responsibility?"Justin nodded solemnly, "If it's really my child, I will take responsibility! I know you have liked me for a long time! I hope
Alexander frowned and asked with displeasure, "Charlotte, who is he?"Charlotte didn't feel the strange atmosphere between them at all and excitedly introduced, "Let me introduce you. He's Elliot James, my classmate."Then, Charlotte introduced Elliot, "Elli, they are my brothers. The eldest is Alexander Miller, you can call him Alexander. The second brother is Noah Steele."Elliot looked at the two who looked exactly the same but had different last names."Alexander Miller? Same last name as you?" he asked with a meaningful tone.Charlotte nodded vigorously, "Yes, he's my brother! Of course, we have the same last name!"Elliot asked with deep meaning, "Are you related by blood?"This question deeply hurt Alexander and Noah.Alexander walked over, angrily separated their tightly held hands, and pulled Charlotte behind him, "Whether she and I have a blood relationship or not is none of your business. I'm asking you, why are you here? It's seven o'clock now, shouldn't you be at your ow
