Vivian was surprised. She turned around and shot Edward, who was sitting quietly by the side, an astonished look. He wore a deadpan expression on his face as he chimed in apathetically, “This constitutes a crime. You can’t just settle it privately on a whim. However, if the other party can afford to provide adequate compensation and gain understanding from the victim’s family members, the sentence will be lenient.”“I see.” The Konstantins’ relatives nodded, seeming to understand his statement
“What do you want?” he asked her as he smiled, “I’ll give you whatever you want.”“A wedding ceremony. The bigger, the better,” she replied calmly.“Alright,” he replied and stared at her intently, then carefully asked, “Shall I get your parents to come back? If they find out that you’re alive, they…”“I’ve died long ago!” Vivian cut him off shrilly, only realizing that she had sounded too harsh after the words had left her mouth. She paused for a moment, then calmed herself down. “Their daug
Both Vivian and Renne returned home after dinner. Edward was there at home, waiting for her upstairs in their bedroom. He was secretly relieved when he saw her safe and sound. He asked her casually, “How was it? What did you buy?” She threw the shopping bags at him and said indifferently, “Take a look for yourself.” Actually, he wasn’t concerned about what she bought. He just wanted to talk with her. However, she clearly had no intention to talk to him. Nevertheless, he just smiled and said,
He paused for a short while and could not help breaking into laughter. He did as she said, patting her damp hair softly. Then, he asked her again kindly, “Like this?” She made no reply, but she could not find any fault with him either.It was deadly silent. The floor lamp shed a gentle ray of light on her dark hair and seemed to add a tinge of gold to her mane. She had just showered, so her hair smelled heavenly, and it excited him. Unknowingly, he paused his actions. At that moment, Vivian
Suddenly, he stopped talking. Edward’s facial expression was so frightening, and he seemed savage. Seth was so terrified that he regained his wits and dared not continue his ramble. Edward sat there and clenched his teeth while his body stiffened like stone. After a long while, he heaved a sigh gradually. He then looked up at Seth and said calmly, “I’m used to being a gangster but she isn’t. Even if she is, she’s more than enough for me. I’m always the one who doesn’t deserve her. I don’t care
Edward pursed his thin lips slightly and considered it for a short while. He got up after that. “Let’s go and meet Renne now.” They drove the car straight to Renne’s office. When they reached the place, Wade wanted to call Renne to ask her to come downstairs, but Edward stopped him. Instead, Edward got out of the car alone and went straight to Renne’s office to meet her. After all, he had been there as Renne’s boyfriend. Although it had happened half a year ago, the receptionist remembered him
“Did you hire somebody to stalk me?” Renne couldn't suppress her anger. However, she dared not release her anger at him upon seeing how cold Edward seemed. She sat there quietly for a short while. Realizing that he wouldn't give up, she gritted her teeth and used a key to open a drawer beside her desk. Then, she took out a thick file and threw it across the desk at him. “Here you are.” Besides seeming slightly old and worn out, the file was inconspicuous too. It was even sealed tightly with gl
“It’s fine. I’ll eat whatever there is,” Edward said casually, sounding exhausted. He then closed his eyes and adjusted the seat to lean back and take a rest. “I’ll rest for a while. Wake me up when we’ve arrived.” Wade replied that he would, and he drove the car smoothly. The road was crowded with cars. Moreover, Renne’s office was quite far from Edward’s apartment.
