Even though she had a mask on, the blood spurted out from the edge of the mask.This time, she was kicked even farther away, and her body slammed against the front of the Rolls-Royce, forming a huge dent in the hard hood. She then rolled onto the ground.She felt as if all her bones had been broken and her internal organs had shifted as pain radiated throughout her body.But she once again forced herself to get up and stumbled toward Elijah. “That… that belongs to me!”Her eyes were staring at the sword in Elijah’s hand, and she was bent on getting it back.A trace of surprise appeared in Elijah’s icy-cold eyes.This person is so persistent.“Give it… back to me!” The masked figure was in so much pain that she could barely even straighten her back. But she nevertheless walked toward Elijah tenaciously and tried her best to speak.Although Elijah was moved by her persistence, he didn’t intend to change his mind. “When you’ve finally figured out the significance of this Dharma Sword and

Given Elijah’s years of experience in the army, he reckoned that Celeste’s ankle should have just been slightly sprained. It was far from hurting to the extent of being unable to walk.Of course, some girls might be more delicate and have lower pain tolerance, so it was understandable.Elijah stood up and said, “Wait here while I go and get some medicine from the front desk.”Five-star hotels like the Bloom Hotel would usually provide common over-the-counter drugs and medication at the front desk.Before Celeste even said anything, Elijah turned around and left, soon vanishing as he entered the elevator.Seeing that Elijah had left just like that, Celeste felt so aggrieved that she was on the verge of tears. ‘Dimwit! Haven’t I made it obvious enough? Do you not get the hint, or are you deliberately turning me down?’Celeste had deliberately picked the most revealing bikini that would best accentuate her figure just so that she could show off her beauty to Elijah.But he merely took a

Alice felt that her ears were marred by what she heard!She didn’t want to bring up these shameful things at first, but Glenda just had to act like a mad dog and kept nitpicking on her.Glenda’s expression instantly changed!She had known for a long time about her husband’s affair. In fact, she had kicked up a fuss about it in the beginning, but all she got in return was a heartless reply from Jessie—”I lost my feelings for you a long time ago. If you can’t stand it, let’s get a divorce, and you’ll get lost from the Carlson family immediately!”How could she bear to leave the Carlson family? They were at least a second-tier family, which was much better than the Johnsons. If she divorced Jessie, what would life be like for her in the future?So she had no choice but to force herself to turn a blind eye to his affair and curb her anger while pretending like she wasn’t aware of the existence of his mistress.But Jessie’s mistress was getting more and more overboard. She wasn’t willing t

Alice sneered and was about to speak again, but her uncle Mark suddenly walked up to her and said softly, “Alice, it’s your cousin’s big day today. For my sake, let’s talk about these matters in private!”Alice looked at Mark and shook her head coldly.Alice had already saved Mark and Glenda from enough embarrassment yesterday.But when Glenda scolded them just now, Mark didn’t come forward to stop her.Now that she had merely clapped back at Glenda once, Mark intervened and asked her to settle the matter in private.Why should she agree to it?Alice said coldly, “Uncle Mark, the two villas belonging to the Johnsons were built with the money you guys took from my mother. We’ll put aside the villa that Grandpa and Grandma are staying in and just consider it as Mom’s act of filial piety toward them. But shouldn’t you return us the money for the villa you and your son are living in? You’re a man, after all, Uncle Mark. It doesn’t seem reasonable for you to be taking money from your siste

The female lawyer’s tone was flat with barely any emotion, but it caused an uproar among the crowd.Things had actually escalated to the point that a legal letter had been issued.In that case, it seemed that it was true that Glenda hadn’t repaid the money she owed Alice!Holding the legal letter in her hand, Glenda almost fainted and fell backward in exasperation.She never thought that Alice would actually hire a lawyer and send her a legal letter to warn her! “What… What evidence do you have to prove that I owe you money? If you don’t have concrete proof, that makes it a false accusation, and I can counter-sue you!” Glenda shouted ferociously.Alice sneered. “Surely you haven’t forgotten what happened when you borrowed money from me, have you? When you borrowed the fifty thousand from me, you wrote an IOU, and I can produce it as evidence when need be. Also, although there’s no IOU for the thirty thousand my mother lent you, there’s a bank transfer record, and we can just retrieve
