Reginald leaned back in his chair, the high-quality fishing rod set aside, while his slender fingers played with a smartphone.His complexion wasn't looking great, especially considering there hadn't been the fourth or fifth call today. No calls at all.Did that damn woman think he could run wild just because he wasn't around?Reginald gritted his teeth, a dark shadow casting over his eyes. Not only did he ignore anyone trying to talk to him, but he also paid no attention to the fish that might be biting.After waiting for a while, Reginald crossed his left leg over his right, then switched, and then switched back again.Suddenly, he picked up his phone and dialed Heloise's number.The call went through, but it was like dropping a pebble into the ocean—utter silence.Fine.Very well!Reginald dialed again, and Ben hurried over, "Mr. Wordsworth, there's big news.""Get lost!"Reginald frowned impatiently."It's about the young lady from the Hyacinth Garden," Ben quickly added.At the m
Upon hearing Heloise's words, Abel took the lead and shouted loudly, "Brady is trying to escape! Brady is trying to escape!""No running! Explain yourself!"The students stood up one after another, shouting loudly.Ignoring Heloise, Brady hurried to leave. Heloise, holding a high-pitched megaphone, continued in a cold voice, "I understand now. Senator Brook, you are now Reginald's soon-to-be father-in-law. It seems you are openly committing crimes relying on this status."These days, she had been observing the actions of the Brook family with a cold eye.Since the kidnapping case, Brady and Coral still took advantage of the fragile relationship with Reginald. However, they forgot that the relationship with the highest financial group in the PHOENIXFELL Empire was a double-edged sword for them as father and daughter.After all, the most daring to challenge authority were a group of fearless students.As expected, as soon as her words fell, all the students became more excited. Those in
Heloise, originally a small insect used to ward off disasters, should not have died, and the calamity was brought about by the Brook family."Oh... oh."Coral nodded repeatedly, trying hard to remember Brady's words, her eyes turning unusually red, tears streaming down."Listen." Brady leaned in and whispered to her, "If it comes to this point, dealing with Heloise, you go find Darnell, let him marry you. Among the young masters you've been involved with, only Darnell has good character, genuinely cares for you, and the Smith family's influence is not small. If the Smith family is willing to support me, I might still get out. Do you understand?"But this chance is extremely slim, and it all depends on whether Coral can win over Darnell."..."Upon hearing this, Coral suddenly remembered what Heloise had said in front of Darnell, mentioning that she would soon propose to him.It turns out that Heloise had already anticipated the next steps for their family.While crying and wanting to
Coral stood there watching in disbelief.What's going on with this bastard? After three years in the slums, how did she manage to pick up such a variety of messy skills?She glanced to the side and suddenly saw a thick vine hanging from a nearby tree, about the size of her arm. She hurriedly rushed over and exerted all her strength to pull the vine down.It's too long...And heavy.Coral reluctantly held one end of the vine. Looking at Heloise effortlessly dealing with the bodyguards' siege, completely unharmed, Coral couldn't take it anymore. Seizing the opportunity, she fiercely swung the vine.Die! Damn bastard!Heloise was entangled with the bodyguards, and suddenly caught sight of something attacking. She stepped on one of the bodyguards and flied to reach out to grab the vine.Grabbed it?Not hit her?Coral stared in shock.What kind of skill is this?Heloise landed and couldn't help glancing at Coral, then amusingly said, "Thanks. "With a forceful swing, she knocked down two b
"Such cheap concern," Heloise sarcastically smiled, slowly turning her head to face Grace."Raising poultry to slaughter poultry, do the poultry need to be grateful to you?"This was an acknowledgment that she was indeed Heloise.Just acknowledge it.Grace's gaze softened as she looked at her. "Heloise, words aren't that simple. Puppies and piglets can survive when thrown on the ground, but if you toss a baby outside with no one to care for it, would it survive?"No, an unattended baby would have only one fate – death.Heloise stared at her, truly surprised that her "mother" had such eloquence."Whether you care or not, you have to consider the fact that the Brook family raised you. Otherwise, you would have died long ago," Grace asserted, each word hitting its mark.In the end, she was just an abandoned baby, unwanted even by her own parents.At Grace's words, Heloise slowly approached them, hands pressed on the table, looking coldly at Grace. Word by word, she said, "Sending me to t
Grace stayed there completely stunned, her shoulders slumping.Gone mad, completely gone mad.Heloise had truly gone mad, actually drinking the poison like that....On that day, Imperial University was bustling and busy.On one side, students skipped classes and were busy condemning the senator for disregarding lives and colluding with the financial conglomerate.On the other side, Heloise drank the poison and walked out of the classroom alone.At the same time, numerous luxury cars urgently parked around Imperial University, enclosing the vast campus.Well-trained bodyguards rushed out of the cars, encircling and rushing into the school. When they encountered students, they asked where Heloise was.The university students thought it was about the senator's affair, but those wealthy and powerful financial conglomerates came to take people, so they tried to stop and protect this brave and clever transfer student.Reginald heard such news as soon as he got off the plane, his face turni
Grace and Coral chased out, witnessing this scene with absolute shock."Is she really going to die?" Coral couldn't believe it.This woman, who managed to return unharmed even after being sent to the slums, was now drinking poison and ending her own life? Just like that, so easily?"The poison acts quickly; soon her internal organs will decay, and it will be fatal within half an hour," Grace stated.She took it out to scare Heloise, but she didn't expect Heloise to be so ruthless."Mom..." Coral grabbed her mother's arm, looking at her with some admiration. "Mom, you're usually so quiet. I didn't expect you to handle things so beautifully."Heloise had become so resolute that she willingly drank poison under her mother's coercion.Something Coral and her father could never achieve.Coral was right; her mom was indeed a tough character."So, I've been telling you and your dad all along, don't be too arrogant or stand out too much. Leave yourself some room. It'll come in handy when it's
The bodyguards stood by, not daring to make a sound.Ben signaled the medical staff, and they quickly rushed forward with a stretcher, ready to receive Heloise."I'll do it!" Reginald, looking at the outstretched hands of the medical staff, spoke coldly.With a gentle motion, he placed the semi-conscious Heloise onto the stretcher. The medical staff hurriedly lifted her onto the ambulance.Reginald stepped onto the vehicle, and with his presence, the medical staff were so intimidated that they stared at him in awe, frozen in place."What are you all looking at? Save the person!" Reginald glared at them.Where did Ben find such a bunch of useless people?"Y-yes, yes." One of the doctors hastily stood up. "Push the equipment, push the equipment!"Reginald sat down nearby, looking up to see two nurses pushing Heloise onto her side on the bed. One of them opened Heloise's mouth, and the doctor, holding a medical tube, inserted it directly as if inserting an inanimate instrument."For fuck
