The scene was indeed amusing. An adopted granddaughter did whatever it took to save her grandfather from danger, while his biological granddaughter didn't hesitate to harm him repeatedly for her own sake.Though Nixon's remark was light-hearted, Oliver's eyes burned with fury. Before he could pull Rose onto the speedboat, Nixon, who stood on the opposite side, grabbed Rose's other wrist.With just a light tug from Nixon, Oliver lost his grip on Rose, and Nixon ruthlessly pushed Oliver aside.Seeing Oliver fall onto the speedboat, a trace of worry appeared in Rose's eyes. Only after confirming that he was alright could she relax. She watched as Nixon started the speedboat and turned on its satnav.Soon, the speedboat disappeared into the darkness of the night. Rose and Nixon were the only ones left on the ship.With no one else around, Nixon looked at Rose maliciously. Seeing her sitting defenselessly on the ground, his eyes darkened. "What do you think Uncle Jonathan is doing righ
"Rose!" Jonathan's voice quivered uncontrollably.Nixon deliberately increased the call volume, making sure that Jonathan could hear Rose's voice clearly.Nixon detected Jonathan's unease at the mention of Rose. He cast a glance at her, devoid of any emotion. At this moment, Rose slouched against the bulkhead, her gaze distant. The wound on her head, inflicted earlier when she resisted Nixon, continued to bleed.Initially feeling feeble, Rose was now slipping into unconsciousness.Despite the drowsiness overwhelming her, Rose managed to hear Jonathan's voice. In a hazy state, she mumbled, "Hubby…"Rose hovered on the edge of passing out, with even Nixon's silhouette before her beginning to sway and her surroundings blurring.But Rose knew that she couldn't afford to pass out. If she did, Nixon would have his way with her.In her foggy state, Rose pinched her thigh, attempting to stay alert through the pain."Rose…"Jonathan's heart clenched when all he could hear was silenc
Nobody was aware that Nixon had escaped from the psychiatric hospital. However, even if his absence went unnoticed initially, it would inevitably come to light after some time.Nixon's eyes flickered, and fear started to creep in. "You knew?"Nixon was still testing him.Jonathan lightly chuckled and calmly listed, "You've been to Finch Building, Aquastead Hotel, Harmony Hospital, and even... You've disguised yourself quite well. Even Rose didn't notice when she entered your car."If Jonathan could list all these, that meant…Nixon trembled.Jonathan really knew. And not only that, he chose not to take action on Nixon when he was out.What on earth was Jonathan up to?Nixon's eyes flickered, unable to hide his fear any longer. "What do you want?""I told you, I just want to have some fun, and you are the source of that fun!" Jonathan sneered, seemingly indifferent.Nixon became more confused. He pondered the meaning behind Jonathan's "fun" and muttered, "You wanted me to seek
Nixon narrowed his eyes, studying Rose as if attempting to read her motives. Just like Jonathan's inscrutable thoughts, Rose's intentions proved even more elusive."Go on." Nixon was interested. Unable to comprehend her, he hoped to extract some information from Rose to formulate educated guesses.Furthermore, Rose had already consumed the water he provided. Now weakened, her body drained of blood, she appeared pale and defenseless. Even if she wanted to resist him, she lacked the strength.Nixon lowered his guard. So, when Rose spoke in a weak and low voice, Nixon leaned in closer to hear her."Do you know? Jonathan…"Rose frowned, her breath increasingly unstable, seemingly unable to contain the pain and dizziness.Nixon was clearly intrigued, sensing that Rose was about to reveal Jonathan's weakness. However, he couldn't make out what she said next."What did you say?" Nixon leaned in again toward Rose.Unbeknownst to him, Rose had discreetly tightened her grip on the piece
The sky was ablaze in flames.Nixon's boat hadn't paddled too far when, under the tremendous impact of the explosion, the boat almost flipped over.Amidst the panic, he failed to notice something peculiar behind the flames. Barely stabilizing the boat, Nixon was momentarily stunned as he watched the explosion unfold. There was nothing left but madness and thirst for blood in his eyes. In his original plan, Jonathan was the one who was supposed to die in the explosion.But it was fine too if Rose had died."Oh, Rose, don't blame me. It's Uncle Jonathan's fault for not coming to save you." Nixon laughed wildly. It wasn't enough for him. Rose might be dead, but Jonathan and Kelly were still alive. With their images haunting his thoughts, his appetite for revenge grew more fervent, especially in the wake of Rose's demise. At this point, he couldn't even feel the pain in his legs.Gripping the boat, he contemplated his next move.Suddenly, his phone started ringing.Nixon thought
The scene of the explosion flashed through Jonathan's mind as he took a deep breath."Mr. Finch, how should we deal with him?" Finley's angry voice resounded.Had Jonathan not chosen to handle it personally, Finley would have overturned Nixon's boat just now, letting him sink into the water.Jonathan closed his eyes briefly to conceal all his emotions. He presented a composed demeanor upon reopening them.He turned around, landing his gaze on Nixon. His eyes were icy and piercing, making Nixon shiver, prompting an immediate plea for mercy."Uncle Jonathan, spare me, please! You said you don't love Rose, right? She's dead, and she wouldn't bother you anymore. Do you know that after the call ended, she even cursed you?"That's right! She called you heartless. In reality, she was just playing along with your act. She..."Nixon tried to sow discord between the two, only to find Jonathan's face growing even more menacing. Even Finley couldn't stand his ground and couldn't help but
Amid his thoughts, Gabriel suddenly heard movements behind him.He turned around, and shock overcame him upon seeing the person who entered the room. "Sir…"It was Oliver.Oliver sat in the wheelchair, his face calm and serene—his eyes, as deep as a pool, betrayed no emotions. Despite Gabriel calling out to him, he appeared as though he hadn't registered the sound.But Gabriel was sure that Oliver had heard Nixon's words just now.Oliver was unmoving for a moment, then turned without any change in his expression."Sir..." Gabriel wanted to catch up, but Nixon's voice continued behind him."Uncle Jonathan, Kelly is a relentless person when it comes to achieving her goals. You should seek revenge on her. Her malice toward Rose is much greater than mine. You should send her to where Rose is."Although Nixon made this plea, it didn't absolve him of being the cause of Rose's demise in that explosion.Jonathan's gaze was deep. He stared silently at Nixon, and a sense of despair grad
At this moment, as everyone's attention was focused on the white cloth, Kelly knew that no one had noticed her. She quickly wiped the joy off her face. As Oliver's granddaughter, Kelly naturally had to act devastated."What… What happened?" Kelly asked in a trembling voice. She looked uneasy.Everyone turned around upon hearing her voice. Kelly stared straight ahead and pretended to be in shock. Her steps were unsteady as she walked over, threatening to fall at any moment.She really was an actress. While Miles couldn't conceal the glint in his eyes, Gabriel, who was not in the crowd, simply sneered. He saw through Kelly's act from the start. He even noticed the change in her expression.Even though Gabriel had seen many sinister things, he was still shocked by Kelly's sorrowful act. He wanted to see what Kelly would do next. Kelly had no idea that the play she was putting on had turned into such a spectacle.The crowd instinctively parted when they saw her. As they did so, Kelly
