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
Glancing at the first aid kit in her left arm bend and then at the fruit knife in her right hand, Flora closed her eyes. In her heart, she cursed herself. Was this decision so difficult? What was she afraid of? Did she still have feelings for him?The last question stumped her. Feelings for him? How could that be possible? How could she possibly have any feelings for such a cruel person? She couldn't bring herself to do it, only fearing that she might be silenced by the members of the Smith Family!Flora took a painful breath, but in the end, she couldn't drive the fruit knife into his heart. The knife slipped from her fingertips and fell onto the carpet. She quickly opened the first aid kit, took out an antiseptic solution, and began tending to his wounds.The wounds weren't too severe, but there was a considerable amount of blood. Flora stopped the bleeding, applied the antiseptic solution, and clumsily bandaged the wounds. It was far from professional, but it would have to do.Afte
Maxwell released her, turned around, and sat on the sofa in the middle of the bedroom. Once again, with a commanding tone, he said, "Come here!"His sharp gaze fixed on Flora. Proud as he was, he disliked seeing anyone daring to defy him, especially the woman before him!Flora stood still, not reacting. She knew that being called over was never a good sign. Suddenly remembering the last time Joshua had called her over, the scene where he pervertedly forced her to undress for him, she still had lingering fear. She was afraid of hearing such commands!Maxwell's patience had reached its limit. Just before he erupted, Flora hesitantly walked over. She stood in front of him, looking resolute, waiting for his orders.One of Maxwell's arms rested on the edge of the sofa, and the other hand took the TV remote to turn it on. He spoke casually, "Hurry up and change the dressing on my wound, I need to go out."Flora was stunned. Change the dressing? He called her over just to have her change the
Throughout the day, Betty kept staring at Flora with an inquisitive look, as if her mere existence was a great mystery. Even while working, she would glance at Flora from time to time.Feeling uncomfortable with Betty's scrutiny, Flora rolled her eyes and said in exasperation, "Betty, will you ever stop? Don't worship me like a deity, okay?!""I don't worship you like a deity, I see you as a ghost..." Betty murmured. "I can't help but feel that you're not real, even though you have body temperature." As she spoke, Betty reached out and touched Flora's face.Feeling overwhelmed, Flora turned around, thinking that she should keep her distance from Betty. After taking a few steps, she turned back without much hope and gossiped, "Betty, how long has that woman been locked up here?"Betty looked around and, seeing that no one was there, whispered, "She has been locked up for over a year.""For so long?" Flora gasped.If she had been locked up for over a year and wasn't released, did Maxwel
Flora approached him, saying, "Yes, I originally decided to give it to Oliver, but you are even more shameless than him, so I have no choice but to give it to you. However..." Flora's words were still in her mouth when her throat tightened, and the next moment, her body was pushed against the wall, held high in the air by Maxwell.And amid excruciating pain, she saw Maxwell's face being consumed by a cruel aura. "Shut up! You are not allowed to mention the name 'Oliver' in front of me! Never mention it again!"Flora was being choked by him, pinned to the wall, her small face turning dark red. Her legs kicked frenziedly, trying to find a foothold. Was the word 'Oliver' also taboo in front of him? Since when did this start? She only knew that the relationship between the two brothers wasn't great, but she didn't expect it to be like this! The brothers fought over women, fought over the necklace. Oh my god, were they really twins? Didn't they say that twins were closer than regular sibl
Mrs. White was shocked when she saw her come in. She rushed over and grabbed Flora's collar, pushing and shouting at her, "Why did you come back? Where is Henry? Where is he?!"Flora didn't know if it was because Mrs. White hurt her or she was saddened, but with tears in her eyes, she shook her head, "I don't know, I really don't know!""How can you not know? Henry has been looking for you everywhere and hasn't come home for a long time! You made him search everywhere for you, and you come back by yourself?" Mrs. White yelled, then pushed her towards the door, "Get out! Go find Henry for me! Otherwise, don't ever step into this house again!""Mom... Mom," Flora quickly grabbed the doorknob and pleaded with Mrs. White, "Mom, let me go back to my room first. I'll go find Brother Henry immediately, okay?""No! You go right now!" Mrs. White stubbornly yelled.Flora couldn't care about that anymore. She had to find the necklace. So, when Mrs. White wasn't paying attention, she slipped quic
"Stop the car!" Flora shouted, and the car screeched to a halt by the side of the road. Flora stammered, "Um... let's just keep going!"Remembering how fierce Mrs. White was, Flora felt that her chances of snatching back the other half were gone!The car resumed its journey, and she squeezed one end of the necklace, letting it hang down vertically. Fortunately, she had only lost about one-third of it, and the pendant was still intact. If she could find a way to attach the missing half, it shouldn't be a problem, right? However, that was the only possible solution as she couldn't go back and continue snatching from Mrs. White!The other one-third of the necklace also did not know where it fell! Staring at the half of the necklace, Flora studied it for a long time but couldn't see anything extraordinary about it. How did it attract so many people's liking? She wondered if Oliver would be furious when he finds out that she gave the necklace to Maxwell. Based on their relationship, he def
