Leah grabbed Diana's arm, her face full of concern and surprise. "Don't move, we'll take you to the hospital right away!"Diana's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a reassuring smile."It's nothing, just a nosebleed. Don't make a fuss..."Before she could finish, her vision suddenly darkened, and she collapsed forward....Diana was jolted awake by a slight pricking sensation on the back of her hand.She groggily opened her eyes and saw Dr. Myers, carefully administering an IV drip."Dr. Myers?""Ms. Thompson, you’re awake. Don’t worry, it's just a nutrient solution," he hurriedly assured her, evidently trying to allay any fears she might have had.A concerned voice called out from nearby, "Big sis, are you okay?"Diana turned her head to see that several people had gathered in the spacious bedroom, including Cenzo and Gates, who were both still in awe of the opulent surroundings, their mouths agape.Dia

Mitbahl had called, his voice urgent, to inform them that Diana had collapsed, a nosebleed preceding her fainting spell. John’s demeanor had shifted instantly upon hearing the news, canceling the trip and rushing back as if in a frenzy.The last time Xavier had seen his boss so unhinged was when Ms. Thompson had gone missing.“Boss...” Xavier began, his voice trailing off as John crossed the threshold of the villa, casting a cold glance in his direction. The frigid look made Xavier shrink back involuntarily.“I...I...” he stammered, but gave up. Partly because he realized that any attempt at comfort would be futile, and partly because his own stutter made it impossible to convey any reassurance.John swiftly ascended to the third-floor bedroom. Standing before the door, he took a deep breath, attempting to steady his emotions before gently reaching out to open it.Inside, the room was enveloped in silence. Thick blackout curtains blocked any hint o

The kneeling men, though not understanding the conversation fully, had a pretty good idea of what was happening.They turned pale, fear draining the blood from their faces, and began pleading with Yosef."Mr. Nelson! Carl isn’t here. We don’t know who Natalie is, but… but there’s a secret basement that Yosef set up here...""Where’s the basement?" Patrick asked, "Take us there.""Right away, we’ll take you there now..."They were yanked up roughly and stumbled towards the backyard.Just as they reached the yard, the sound of helicopter blades whirring filled the air.A helicopter appeared, circling in from nowhere, preparing to land on the rooftop of the mansion.Suddenly, a slender figure, agile like a cat, darted across the rooftop, heading towards the helicopter.Kirin's eyes widened."Is that Natalie!?"Yosef waved his hand, and the men below immediately raised their guns, unleashing a barrage of bullet

The woman, visibly shaken, managed to stammer, "Sir, that's not a very funny joke."With Kevin's pajamas in hand, she hurried away toward the register. Godber turned his attention back to Kevin."Are you alright, Kevin?" he asked, a note of seriousness in his voice."Why wouldn’t I be?" Kevin retorted, giving Godber a look of disdain. "You write novels, but you're not exactly a gentleman to women. No wonder you’re single, just like my brother."With that, Kevin walked off, heading toward the checkout with a confident stride. Godber watched him go, rubbing his forehead. Maybe he was just being paranoid.After Kevin paid for the pajamas, the group left the store and headed back to their car. As they settled into their seats, Godber couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Kevin, on the other hand, was lounging comfortably, sipping his bubble tea with his legs propped up.Unable to hold back any longer, Godber asked, "Kevin, did that woman do anyt

After Ivana spoke, the air fell silent for a moment. After a while, John's low voice broke the silence."Get out."The words carried a deep, chilling intensity. The man's dark eyes flashed with layers of coldness, making the air feel icy."Get out!" he commanded again.Ivana shuddered in fear, standing frozen in place. She turned to look at Doctor Myers beside her, seeing his legs trembling, looking even more frightened than she was.Ivana, mustering all her strength, grabbed Doctor Myers and pulled him out of the room. The two of them stood outside the door for a while before they finally calmed down.Ivana's eyes filled with tears. "Did I... should I have put it more gently?"Doctor Myers leaned against the wall. "No matter how gently you put it, for Mr. Matthews, Ms. Thompson is everything."He let out a long sigh. If Ivana hadn't dragged him out just now, he might have wet his pants from fear. At his age, that would have be
