Hannah looked around the factory. She realized the employees were all focused on their work while Madeline was talking to the person in charge of the factory. After they finished talking, Madeline would inspect the factory. Hannah did not want to let Madeline inspect the manufacturing process of the perfume. When she saw Madeline changing her clothes before going into the factory, she figured she must carry through whatever happens. As such, she ran over directly to make a fuss. “Eveline!”Madeline was in the process of changing into a coat to enter the factory when suddenly, she saw Hannah running into the room hurriedly, yelling out Madeline’s name. Puzzled, Madeline looked at Hannah. “Is there an urgent matter? If it’s not urgent, I need to inspect the factory first.”“Of course, it's urgent since I came to you so hurriedly.”Hannah said with an anxious look on her face. She then looked at the person in charge and the manager behind Madeline. Suddenly, the look in her eye

The look in Madeline's eyes prevented Hannah from lying.Hannah, somewhat guilt-ridden, hesitated and looked out of the car window, then chuckled sadly.“What other choice do I have? I have to go on with my life, so I have to compromise, don't I?”Hannah replied reluctantly.“Now, I finally understand that I simply can't compete with you. I was too self-righteous and naive from the start. Also, Mr. Whitman is not a man I can strive for.”Hannah said with a sad sigh and lowered her eyes.“Mr. Whitman is a very attractive man. I only blame myself for not recognizing my identity and status. I insisted on wishful thinking, and now I’m like a moth to a flame. Sigh…”Hannah sighed deeply after saying that.Madeline looked at Hannah calmly and listened to what she said.“Is there anything else you want to say to me besides this?” Madeline asked meaningfully.Hannah was taken aback for a moment. She then lifted her head, met Madeline's gaze, and spoke with certainty.“I have already

Hearing what Madeline asked and seeing the content that Madeline was referring to, Hannah was certain that Madeline had already known what Hannah had done!Hannah’s expression changed drastically, her face turning pale and red, seemingly mortified.Madeline calmly looked at Hannah. “At the time, Jeremy reminded you, didn’t he? He told you to leave my laboratory as soon as possible and to not touch anything in there, but you still did.”Hannah, not wanting to be convicted just like that, gritted her teeth and argued.“What did I touch? Eveline, don't try to wrongfully accuse me again!’“You know very well whether I’ve wronged you. The surveillance in my laboratory captured it very clearly too. Why? Do you want to verify it?”“...”At the mention of the surveillance, Hannah was momentarily speechless.She stared at the calm and composed Madeline, and Hannah felt powerless to argue. As such, she simply let go of all pretenses.“Eveline, you've known it for a long time, so why are

Carter roared out furiously and hung up.Shirley did not know why he was so angry, nor did she know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring her to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa.He furrowed his eyebrows; his face looked extremely distressed.A while later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, he recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.Carter understood Shirley's current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because he could feel that in Shirley's heart, he was still very much present.“I'm going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don't go anywhere,” Carter informed and urged at the same time.Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower

Dumbfounded, Shirley stared at what Carter was doing in disbelief.‘Had he been following that car just to abduct that little girl?‘But who was that little girl?’During her moment of shock, Shirley saw Carter quickly starting the car to drive away.At that moment, Fabian quickly ran out of the dessert shop.He looked anxious, and his eyes were filled with worry.Shirley did not know Fabian, but she could see how uneasy and sick with worry he was at the moment.“Driver, please start driving,” Shirley told the driver who was looking at his phone.The driver looked out of the window and noticed the car just now was gone.“Miss, where would you like to go now? Are we going to follow the car just now?” the driver asked politely.Shirley shook his head. “No need. I saw the person in the car and he’s not my friend. I made a mistake. Please take me back to where you picked me up.”“Alright,” the driver answered and started the car quickly.Shirley was very distracted on the way b
