She walked up to Gilmore, gently wiped away his tears with the sleeve of her clothes, and said with compassion, Gilmore, you’ve really suffered all these years. If we could turn back time to the period before we graduated—even if you and Ivy had already been intimate, I would never have given you up...As she spoke, she let out a sorrowful sigh and added, It’s just a pity that time can never be reversed. No one can turn back the years. In the blink of an eye, we’ve both become middle-aged people over fifty.Gilmore grabbed her hand tightly all at once, his voice brimming with excitement: Arina! Precisely because we can’t turn back time, we shouldn’t let the days ahead of us go to waste—not even for a single second!Having said that, Gilmore was so overwhelmed with emotion that he dropped down on one knee and blurted out: Arina, I want to be with you!Seeing him kneel, Arina panicked instantly. She hurried to pull him up, exclaiming, Oh, Gilmore! What are you doing? Get up quickly!Gil

When Alan saw the dishes Arina had cooked, his appetite was instantly whetted. However, out of politeness, he didn’t rush to pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he took the initiative to grab a bottle of beverage and poured some for the two ladies.After that, he picked up his wine glass, smiled, and said, Aunt Arina, Paul, welcome back to China, welcome back to Pras City, and welcome to our home. Let’s raise a toast together.Gilmore quickly chimed in from the side, Exactly! Let’s have a drink to welcome you both!Arina picked up her beverage and said sincerely, Thank you so much for your hospitality. I never expected that on my first day back in Pras City, I’d be able to have a home-cooked meal at an old classmate’s house. Thank you very much.Gilmore chuckled and said, Arina, we’ve been old classmates for so many years—why are you being so polite about such a small thing!Then he added, Besides, you’re the one who made this whole table of dishes. I just helped out a little. I feel rea

Claude stood aside and said earnestly, Young Master, I really never expected that when such a woman saw a deposit of 7.6 billion US dollars, she wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of fear or worry. She didn’t even take a moment to think about how there could be so much money in that card—she just dared to transfer all the money to her own account. Her courage is simply unbelievable!Alan smiled and said, This mother-in-law of mine has loved money more than anything her whole life. Back then, she came between my father-in-law and his first love as a home-wrecker, all because my father-in-law’s family was quite well-off at that time—he was a proper second-generation wealthy. But what she didn’t expect was that after they got married, my father-in-law’s family fortunes started to decline more and more, and soon they had no money left. She’s spent her whole life chasing money but never got it, so her heart has been repressed for a long time and become distorted.Claude said, Young Master, if

In the morning, when everyone else began going to the toilet to wash up, Ivy was so weak that she didn’t even have the strength to lift her eyelids.Someone in the cell went to collect the breakfast for the entire cell—breakfast was always the same: rice porridge with steamed buns.When Philippa and the others were eating, they noticed Ivy hadn’t come out. So Philippa told one of the women, Go in and check if that slut’s dead. If she’s not, drag her out.The woman went to the toilet, glanced at Ivy, and saw her huddled in the corner trembling. She walked over, grabbed Ivy by the hair, and roughly dragged her out.By the time Ivy was pulled out, Philippa had already started eating her portion of the meal.Just like the morning before, after Philippa finished her steamed bun, she deliberately left about a third of the porridge in the bowl. Then she looked at Ivy with a playful expression and said, You haven’t eaten in two days and two nights—you must be starving, right?Ivy nodded repea

The bad cop officer slammed his fist on the table in anger and blurted out to the good cop officer beside him: I told you this stupid woman can't be trusted at all! But you still insisted on letting her go. Did you hear what she said? She wants to go confront that Alan in private! Isn't this her asking for death, and also ruining our case?The good cop officer's expression darkened too. He stared at Ivy and said coldly: Ivy, you really disappoint me. Just now, I actually thought you could truly keep your mouth shut about this. But I never expected you still want to confront your son-in-law about this matter! Were all the things I told you just now completely in vain?Ivy panicked instantly and asked tremblingly: Officers, to be honest, I ended up in this situation all because of Alan's card. Can't I even go confront him about it?The good cop officer snapped angrily: Foolish! Alan is one of the people who received the black card! That criminal gang has been keeping an eye on him the w
