“Mom?”Heloise sneered mockingly, "I've never found this word so disgusting before."Harriet also had the last name Hall, and she never called her mother, but Harriet sacrificed her life for her. As for Grace Hall Brook, she called her mother, and what was the result?"No, Heloise..." Grace pleaded in fear, tears falling, "Be more calm, Mom really knows she was wrong. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, spare Mom's life, okay?"Heloise laughed, "You can rest assured. For the sake of our past relationship, I won't let you go alone. Once you leave, I'll send Coral over to accompany you."Hearing this, Coral's legs went weak, and she tried to run, but the two bodyguards held her firmly.Grace had only one daughter, and she was most distressed about her. When she heard Heloise's words, Grace was so frightened that she couldn't even think. She hurriedly explained, "No, Heloise, the whole thing was done by me. It has nothing to do with Coral.""The whole thing has nothing to do w
Heloise approached Coral slowly, the cane in hand.Coral, terrified, turned pale and struggled with excitement. The wedding dress on her body twisted into an unrecognizable shape."What are you doing? What do you want? Heloise, have you gone crazy? You, you dare, you wretched woman!""Don't move!"The bodyguard pressed her down firmly."Heloise, what are you trying to do?"Darnell looked at Heloise in astonishment, wondering what she was planning.Heloise stepped closer, lifting the cane in her hand. In her black-and-white eyes, a cold glint flashed. The next moment, she swung the cane down onto Coral's knee.Without a hint of hesitation."Ah—"Coral let out a desperate scream, eyes almost popping out from the pain. Her legs went weak, the pain making it impossible to stand, and she could only be pulled by the bodyguard.The servants of Rosefield Garden huddled around Mrs. Old Smith, all trembling with fear."Coral!"Darnell stared in shock; eyes wide open.Heloise really did it.Helo
"Very clever," Reginald lowered his face, his thin lips almost touching hers, "But, are you analyzing me or that Smith fellow, hmm?"His palm firmly held her waist, trapping her with no escape. His tone was both sexy and dangerous.Heloise didn't struggle, just looked at him strangely. "I don't understand what you mean. "What's with this sudden sourness?Reginald tightened his embrace, lips brushing against her ear as he asked, "He pursued you. When you disappeared, you sought his help."He really knows it all.Heloise's ears were heated by his warm breath. Her hands rested on his chest, creating a subtle distance as she said, "I have nothing to do with him."She understood Reginald's desire for control. Even when they had nothing between them, he regarded her as a possession. Now that the two of them have had sex, it’s even more so, and he takes her as his even further for granted."Is that so? How come I heard he found out at the wedding that you didn't disappear for no reason, and
Reginald sat in the driver's seat, casting a sidelong glance at her hands. Seeing that she hadn't actually discarded the candy, his expression softened slightly. At least she had some sense.…Wordsworth’s Consortium, as the most influential financial group in the PHOENIXFELL Empire, had its headquarters in a prime location in Phoenixfell City.The CEO's office was spacious, with a color scheme of black and gray, exuding a luxurious yet mysteriously dark atmosphere.Reginald stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and from his perspective, all that met his eyes were the industries of Wordsworth’s Consortium, including the harbor.He stood there, tall and imposing, his back exuding an air of coldness.On the desk behind him, a curved computer screen played a video. The footage showed a funeral parlor.Heloise, dressed in a black dress, walked step by step from the funeral parlor, holding Harriet's ashes. Her
Heloise lifted her gaze, looking at Jane's swollen, tearful eyes. She said, "The reality is such. No matter how much you cry, it won't bring Harriet back. We should think about the next steps." "..." Alright. Jane wiped her tears and picked up the dishes for Heloise. "You're right, Miss. Now, I'm the only one serving you at Hyacinth Garden. It might not be enough. Should I talk to the young master and add another servant?" "No need," Heloise refused without a second thought. "Do you think the eyes on me aren't enough? Hyacinth Garden might be empty, but Reginald has eyes everywhere outside." "The young master is like that. Why does he always have so many people watching you? It's so uncomfortable," Jane sighed. Reginald made it clear; his possessiveness was strong. He was now guarding against any possibility of her escaping. Jane kept serving her food. Heloise felt a bit helpless. It was supposed to be a meal she invite
"Ha."Upon hearing this, Heloise stood there and couldn't help but laugh, her lips curved in a mocking arc.The teachers in the office all took a cold breath; Professor Campbell was the most untouchable professor in their law school. Any student who showed a hint of disrespect in front of him would face consequences.Yet, she dared to display such a smile.Indeed, when Heloise smiled, Professor Campbell's face immediately turned ugly, like the bottom of a pot. The veins on his forehead popped as he asked, "What are you laughing at?""Since the leadership knows that I can even pull in senators, do you think having a school leader for me is a difficult task?" Heloise responded with a smile, her clear eyes showing no sign of weakness."Bang!"Professor Campbell directly threw the teacup in his hand. "You are outrageous! Do you know who you are talking to? You dare to threaten me and still want to enter the law school? Dream on!"Without his approval, she could forget about entering the l
Heloise furrowed her brows, understanding that Reginald had misunderstood the situation."Reginald?"Darnell, still holding his injured arm, looked at Reginald in astonishment. How could he be here?"Weren't you holding hands tightly just now?" Reginald, still sitting in the car, continued to smile. "Why did you stop? Keep going.""I don't know him well," Heloise said coldly, holding the suitcase and moving to the side, increasing the distance between her and Darnell."Oh, really?" Reginald, sitting there, licked his lower teeth with a smirk. Placing one hand on the steering wheel, he said, "In that case, if I hit him to death, you shouldn't feel sorry, right?"As he spoke, a hint of bloodlust flashed in his eyes, and he forcefully accelerated towards Darnell.Darnell, wide-eyed and panicked, quickly moved to the side.Reginald continued, not turning but directly hit the wall, scraping past."Bang."Under the deafening sound, the front of the car almost deformed.In the chaos, Darnell
And then, this lifetime, she could never stand up again."..."Heloise silently looked at him, her eyes devoid of any fear, surprisingly calm.Jane had been listening outside the door and couldn't hold back anymore. She rushed in, kneeling down anxiously. "Young Master, please don't! Miss hasn't run away. If you break her legs like this, her life will be ruined."Breaking the legs of someone so young would add so much hardship to her future life."..."Interrupted, Reginald's face darkened.Ben quickly entered and pulled Jane out, saying, "What are you doing, Jane? You're asking for trouble. I haven't settled the matter of you helping someone impersonate and lure away the bodyguards. Get out!"Now Mr. Wordsworth is furious, staying here is courting death."What impersonation?"Jane was confused, but at this moment, she couldn't care less about anything. She resisted Ben's pulling and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Young Master, if you want to break someone's legs, break mine. Spare M
