Shirley held the corner of the notepad, her fingers trembling slightly.Upon seeing the familiar handwriting, the cold wind seemed to dampen the corners of her eyes in an instant.It was unknown how much time had passed before Shirley stood up with a cold look on her face while biting her red lip and pinching the corner of the notebook.Her almond eyes were filled with tears as she stared indifferently at the engravings on the tombstone in front of her. After staying for about ten seconds, Shirley turned and left.A few days later, news quickly spread on the internet.The news was of Felipe’s death sentence.When Felipe's photos, education, background, and all the relevant information were dug out, many pitied him, but more were feeling pleased with this decision.Those who had committed a crime should not be sympathized and felt sorry for.Cathy also saw this push notification. The moment she saw the news, she seemed to have fallen into the ice cave. Her whole body was cold an

It was just a few brief words but they were deeply imprinted in Cathy's heart.She also instantly understood what he meant by that.“Cathy, are you still listening?”Cathy abruptly came to her senses when she heard Jeremy calling out to her.“I am.”She tried to control her emotions and keep calm, but she still could not hide the tremble in her voice.“Thank you for telling me about this, Jeremy. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”Cathy hung up the phone in a hurry at the same time she finished her sentence.She did not have the courage to continue listening at all. She could not even handle even one more word.The rain in front of her was getting heavier and heavier. The dense raindrops seemed to smash against her heart, causing her intense pain.The yellow roses in her arms seemed to lose their colors in an instant, losing their original meaning as well.Tears escaped from her eyes unconsciously, blurring her vision.‘Felipe Whitman, I don’t know if we’ll

Cathy took two steps back in caution. She was wondering if they were the thugs who had caused trouble for Felipe back then, but they did not look like those thugs.“Who are you people?”She asked again and took out her phone in secret to call her emergency contact.“Miss Jordan, don’t be scared. We mean you no harm. Our boss just wants to have some coffee with you.”“Who’s your boss?” Cathy asked and pressed the number of her emergency contact.“You’ll know who it is when you go. I hope you can cooperate with us. Don’t make us take you to the car with brute force,” one of the men who looked slightly refined said in a profound manner.Cathy stopped her finger that was pressing the button. Before she could say anything else, the bodyguards walked toward her.“Miss Jordan, please.”Cathy did not show any fear or weakness when she saw the men’s imperative looks.“Who’s your boss? Why should I go with you without knowing anything?”When the man saw that Cathy was not cooperating,

The chill in Shirley’s emotionless voice was palpable.Adam looked at Shirley, tightening his grip on Cathy’s hand, and continued toward the door.Barely a few steps and Shirley’s voice drifted from behind once again.“Adam, I brought her here so that you can be content with your lot. Don’t you even think about stepping out of the door.”Upon hearing these words, Cathy instantly understood.She was merely bait for Adam, who would come and look for her here, luring him into this trap.Adam’s fists clenched as he suddenly turned around. When he saw Shirley smoking in a carefree demeanor, his face fell. “Shirley, you should’ve already read dad’s notebook. Why are you still acting like this?”Shirley stepped toward Adam, her face insipid. “Adam, you’re already an adult. Are you so naive to think you could solve this matter, one that had been gnawing at my mind for all these years, just by doing that? Let me tell you. It’s not possible!”She gritted her teeth as she spat out the las

When the class teacher saw that Lillian had stopped, she curiously looked at the man standing outside the gate. She then bent down and gently asked Lillian, “Lily, do you know that man? If you do, nod your head. If you don’t, you can shake your head to tell me.”After the class teacher had spoken, Lillian neither shook nor nodded her head for more than ten seconds.The class teacher found this to be a little peculiar. She knew that while Lillian could not speak, she could understand simple sentences.She glanced at the man outside the gate and let go of Lillian’s hand before walking over.“What’s your name, sir? You’d said that you’re Lillian’s family, but it seems that she doesn’t know you.” The class teacher voiced her concern.“My last name is Johnson,” the man replied. He looked toward Lillian, who remained unmoving, and slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket.Lillian seemed to be roused by the candy. She blinked her vivid, clear, and large eyes, then put her small
