It was the middle of the night. Archibald sat in his study, wearing a gloomy expression. He asked Saul, who was standing next to him, “Did Noah admit to committing the crimes?”Saul was freshening the cup of tea for him. Then, he smiled faintly and said, “It’s such a big case. Why would he admit to having done anything? The way I heard it, they beat him to a pulp, but he simply wouldn’t back down.”The old man snorted. “He’s a stubborn one.”Taking the cup of tea, he blew on it and said, “We have to use some unconventional means against stubborn mules like him. Haven’t those guys done an exceptional job at extracting information before? Tell them to do anything necessary and force a confession out of him.”Saul smiled. “Are you sure, Mr. Archibald?”The old man put down the cup and asked, “Why do you seem to be concerned about him so much?”Saul waved his hand and denied it. “I’m just worried that doing it will ruin your relationship with Ms. Gwynn. After all, she’s really doin

Gwynn merely slept for a couple of hours.She looked after Lorian and Holly as usual. She was putting clothes on her little girl when the latter said she missed her dad. Leaning on her mom’s shoulder, she said longingly, “I miss Dad.”Gwynn felt a lump in her throat.She soothed her little girl in a tender tone, “Dad’s on a work trip. He misses us a lot, too.”However, Lorian knew a little about the adult’s affairs. He hesitated a little before posing the question. “When’s Dad coming back?”Gwynn was stumped for a moment. Then, she reached out and touched Lorian. Her voice was a little choked up when she spoke. “He’ll be back before New Year! I’m sure of it.”Lorian decided to drop the matter.He waited until he was alone before he wiped tears away in the room. Gwynn stood at the door for a long time, but she decided to walk inside eventually.He saw her coming in and turned his head sideways, stubbornly. He asked, “Is Dad not coming home anymore? Is he dead?”The young bo

Kim reserved the top two floors of the Hilton Hotel in Hucksburgh. About a hundred security guards protected Gwynn and watched over the exits at all times. She had just finished her work in the presidential suite and reported to Gwynn, “I’ve made all the necessary arrangements, Ms. Gwynn. You’ll be perfectly safe. I’ll go over to Charles’s villa and give him your business card. I think he’ll pay respect to Mr. Noah and agree to meet you.”Underneath the crystal chandelier, Gwynn rubbed her eyebrows. She said softly, “You must’ve thought that I was afraid of putting myself in danger because of all the security guards I brought with me. That’s not the case, though.”Kim hadn’t the foggiest clue what she was talking about. She smiled faintly. “Now that Noah is imprisoned, Charles isn’t going to entertain me. For that matter, even Archibald wouldn’t do anything to me now. He thinks I’d run out of options and go back and grovel to him. “That’s why I brought these security guards w

The night rolled on. Several black limousines drove on the streets in the middle of the night. It was dark in the car. Renata said with a blank expression, “What happened in the pictures you brought was before I married Charles. He had always thought I came from a wealthy, powerful family. He had no idea that I had such a shameful past. Um… Gwynn…”She turned her head sideways and asked, “Will you spare me?”“Like I said, I’m not here to make your life difficult.” Gwynn smiled faintly. “I’m here to ask for Charles’s help. I didn’t come all the way to Hucksburgh to undermine your relationship with him.”Renata felt much better after that, but she couldn't resist getting a shot in. “You certainly have a persuasive way to ask for help, Gwynn.”The car wobbled slightly while it was on the road.Gwynn responded calmly, “If it wasn’t for Noah, how would you and Charles have enjoyed a wealthy, comfortable life? I’m not here to beg. Instead, I’m just here to negotiate with you guys on

It was one in the morning when Charles made a phone call to Brookesville. His call was transferred twice before he finally reached the person he was looking for. Speaking in a hushed voice, he talked to the guy. He was asking a favor, so he had to negotiate terms with the guy on the other end of the phone. Gwynn was sitting right next to him. So, he offered tempting terms. The guy didn’t agree to it immediately, but he said he’d give it some thought and come back to Charles. Charles let out a sigh of relief. Hanging up the phone, he said to her, “He’s thinking about it. There’s a very good chance he’ll agree to it. That’s how it normally works.”Now that the work was done, she relaxed a little and changed her attitude. “I’m sorry for what I did earlier, Charles.”Her expression was tender, calm, and exquisite.He stared at her for several seconds before smirking. “It’s my duty to serve Noah.” There was some level of anger in his tone, but she didn’t let it bother him. It was v
