Flora finally woke up completely from the disturbance and slowly opened her eyes after moving her body. Upon waking up, she was greeted by Robin's joyful face and Oliver's gentle handsome face. Her heart trembled, she hadn't died?!The wound on her hand throbbed with a piercing pain, and she couldn't move at all, just lying stiffly on the bed. She glanced around the large bedroom and realized she was lying in Maxwell's bed. Among the sheets, there was a lingering masculine scent that belonged to him!Oliver leaned down and stared at her up close, his deep gaze revealing a hint of displeasure. He asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you attempt suicide?"Flora was taken aback, meeting his eyes, and with great difficulty, she replied, "Because I thought death was better than being alive. I'd rather die.""Do you think this is worth it?" Oliver raised his displeased tone a few notches, dissatisfied with her response!Flora shook her head, a few tears sliding down from the corners of her
Three days passed, and Flora was already able to do some simple things. Although the wound still hurt, her body had regained its vitality.In the evening, as she was preparing to sleep, a burst of car sounds suddenly came from outside the window. Flora could clearly distinguish between the sounds of Oliver's and Maxwell's cars. And this time, she could tell it was Maxwell's Porsche.Flora's heart suddenly skipped a beat. That man hadn't come back for almost a week now. Today, when he returned, he would surely summon her to his bedroom. Usually, every one or two days, he would call her or directly storm into her bedroom.As the car sounds faded, Flora maintained a high level of vigilance, listening to any movements outside the room. Fortunately, she didn't hear his steady footsteps at the entrance of the bedroom. Flora finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe Maxwell hadn't come to bother her because she was injured.With this thought in mind, Flora closed her eyes and pe
Standing before her, Maxwell cruelly smirked, "Don't worry, you won't fare any better than him." He needed to use cruel methods to numb his already wavering heart, otherwise, he might end up being the one defeated!Flora crawled forward frantically, falling heavily to the ground, then holding onto his leg, lifting her tear-streaked face pleadingly, "Maxwell! I was wrong! It's all my fault, it's my responsibility alone, please spare him! I beg you!""Oh, really? Didn't you say before that you knew nothing? How come today you're willing to shoulder all the blame?" Maxwell sneered, looking down at her. The deeper her love for Henry, the more he resented her!"What will it take for you to let him go?!" Flora screamed in despair. The thought of Henry suffering at the hands of this cruel man twisted her heart in pain.Maxwell turned around, took the disc off the player, and threw it beside her, mocking, "This is a keepsake for you. Let him go? Don't ever expect it in this lifetime, just lik
Facing these sympathetic looks, Flora just smiled and lowered her head, playing with a small cat by her feet. Just as she had squatted down, Nancy's loud voice rang out from behind."Flora! You finally managed to get up from that luxurious bed?! I was about to come and fetch you if you didn't!"Flora startled, quickly stood up from the ground without looking back at Nancy, and looked around for something to do. After a while, Nancy got tired of scolding and left, telling Flora that she'd better not pretend to be lazy.The maids noticed that Flora's hand was still injured, so they only assigned her the lightest tasks. Flora ended up folding and tidying clothes, not able to do any physically demanding work.In the evening, Flora entered Oliver's room and heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom. She hurriedly went to the closet, intending to arrange the clothes before he came out. As she passed by the glass table, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the laptop screen and spe
Oliver had already guessed that this was the question she wanted to ask, ever since he saw her looking at the pictures on the computer earlier. So he wasn't surprised, and he calmly replied, "I don't know the secret behind it, but it's a necklace that has caused quite a stir in the underworld. So, I advise you once again, it's best to hand over the necklace to me to avoid unnecessary trouble.""If you don't know its meaning, why do you insist on obtaining it?" Flora didn't understand."I can't tell you that," Oliver said, staring at her. "Just remember that it's a curse, and as I've said before, I'm willing to bear that curse for you.""I didn't lie to you. I don't know where I put the necklace. I had no idea it held so many secrets, so...""So you just lost it haphazardly?" Oliver frowned and then asked, "Tell me, where did you get it from?""My...my classmate gave it to me. She didn't know anything about it either, she just gave it to me," Flora answered honestly. Not wanting him to
Normally, Flora enjoyed playing video games like a boy and often pestered Henry to play with her, earning her scoldings from Mrs. White. After each scolding, Henry would comfort her and try various ways to make her happy."Flora! You little brat!" Robin, frantic, jumped in place and cursed loudly.Flora laughed triumphantly, "Robin, watch carefully, see how you end up lying down!"As she was about to give him a big punishment, the room suddenly brightened, accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open. Startled, Flora quickly jumped up from the floor and looked in surprise at the unexpected appearance of Maxwell! Wasn't he supposed to be in W City? Wasn't he not coming back?"Aha! I won! Flora, you dummy! See that! I won!" Robin raised his hands, jubilantly boasting in the manner of a triumphant person, too excited to close his mouth. In his excitement, he completely ignored Maxwell's presence.Flora stole a glance at the expressionless Maxwell, feeling a tingling sensation o
This room was not pitch black like the others; a yellow wall lamp illuminated the space. Flora's heart had been pounding, and now it seemed like it might leap out of her chest.Trembling, she opened the door halfway and saw a woman sitting on the luxurious large bed in the middle of the room. Her disheveled hair added a touch of disorder, yet even in the dim light, her fair face appeared exquisite. Wrapped in a snow-white robe that highlighted her slender figure, sitting on the equally white bed, she genuinely resembled a ghost from a horror film!At this moment, the woman was staring at Flora with a surprised expression, then waved at her."Come here, help me, please?"Flora had her hands on the door, ready to escape at any moment. She opened her mouth and asked in a voice that almost didn't sound like her own, "Who are you? What do you want me to do?"Oh my! Looking at her, Flora felt like she might faint."Tell Maxwell that I love him, I have always loved him," the woman spoke soft
Looking at Maxwell in his current state, Flora could sense his anger reaching its peak. She couldn't imagine what punishment awaited her next. Suddenly, Betty's words came to mind—how he almost shot the maid. Could he possibly aim a gun at her head?Dragging Flora into his bedroom, Maxwell threw her to the floor, his furious gaze glaring at her intensely.Terrified, Flora struggled to suppress her panic and began explaining, "Big Young Master, I went to the third floor to find Mimi for the Madam. Mimi was indeed on the third floor, as you just saw." Thinking about the unfortunate fate of Mimi, Flora felt a wave of regret.Maxwell bent down, looking down at her, and gritted his teeth, "Was it just to find Mimi? Miss White, have you been longing for the third floor all along? Do you want to move up and live with that woman?""No! No, please!" Flora urgently shook her head, the thought of those days without even seeing sunlight terrifying her. However, today she had gained something valu
