Hudson gently patted Elena's shoulder. "I know you're worried about Josephine, but maybe letting Cyrus in to talk things over with her will be good for both of them."Elena bit her lip, still reluctant, but she stepped aside.Cyrus glanced gratefully at Hudson and then cautiously walked into the hospital room.The room was filled with the smell of disinfectant,

"That's okay. I've been through worse than you can imagine," Josephine said softly, her voice calm but filled with emotion. "You've probably heard about me—back then, I was paralyzed. It was only because of my husband's treatment that I recovered." As she spoke, her thoughts drifted back to those dark days when even moving her body felt impossible. She had been bullied by everyone, even despised by her own parents. If it hadn't been for Cyrus, she wouldn't be standing here today. No matter what happened, she would always stay by his side, unwavering in her loyalty."Of course, I've heard about it! Your story is so inspiring!" Maura's eyes sparkled with admiration. "You were studying so hard even while in a wheelchair, and now your story is in textbooks!" Meeting Josephine like this felt surreal. She had idolized her for so long and never imagined they'd meet under such circumstances."Hard work always brings hope," Josephine said with a proud smile. Maura's admiratio

Maura eased the door open and stepped quietly into the living room. Her eyes swept over the sofa, and she froze in place. Sitting there was a woman of such ethereal beauty that she seemed almost otherworldly. Her elegance and radiance made it impossible to look away."Who are you? Why am I here?" Maura asked, her voice laced with confusion. Questions tumbled out of her as if her mind were spinning with a whirlwind of question marks.The woman smiled gently and rose to her feet with effortless grace. Her gaze was warm, almost sisterly, as she looked at Maura. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Josephine, and I am—""Oh, you're the CEO of Thompson Group!" Maura blurted out, cutting her off. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning. She had heard countless stories about Josephine, a near-mythical figure in the business world. In just a few short years, Josephine had propelled the Thompson Group to unprecedented success with her sharp business instincts. T

"Wait..." Just as Cyrus was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently fell on Maura, who was lying unconscious on the sofa. In an instant, a palpable wave of murderous intent filled the room, spreading like a tangible force. His eyes turned as cold as ice, and an aura of bone-chilling menace radiated from him.Overcome with anxiety, Cyrus dashed forward in a single stride and knelt down to check Maura's condition. After a careful examination, he discovered that she had only been drugged and was not in immediate danger. He let out a slight sigh of relief, but the fire of rage in his heart burned even wilder."What happened here?" Cyrus's face darkened, his voice low and chilling as if it came from the depths of hell. Each word seemed to carry shards of ice, making the air around him frigid."Maura? What's she doing here?" Violet, hearing the commotion, quickly followed after Cyrus. When she saw Maura unconscious on the sofa, she was visibly shocked. She had seen Maura's p

"Call the police? Hahaha!" Spike laughed, shaking his head with a face full of disdain and mockery. To him, calling the police was the most ridiculous and laughable joke he had ever heard. After all, he was the notorious local kingpin in this area. Here, if he so much as stomped his foot, the whole city would be turned upside down.If he didn't have strong backing behind him, how could he act so recklessly and arrogantly? Naturally, his bold and fearless behavior came from knowing he had nothing to fear."Don't hurt my boyfriend! Whatever you want, I'll go with you!" Violet's eyes were resolute as she quickly stepped in front of Cyrus, shielding him without hesitation. Her movements were as swift as a lioness protecting her cub."Cyrus, are you even a man? Letting a woman protect you, huh?" Kevin sneered, his lips curling into a contemptuous smile."Well, bitch, you've got guts. I like that. Come on, let's head to the private room." Spike's eyes lit up as he leer
Chapter 123
Maura followed Brian and Lily into the private room of the strip club. The room was dimly lit, and the pounding music made it difficult to think. A vague sense of unease crept over Maura, as though something about tonight wasn't quite right. But seeing Lily so excited, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.Brian eagerly gestured for them to sit down before ordering drinks and snacks. Lily grabbed Maura's hand, chatting away about trivial things, her voice bright and carefree. Maura, however, felt distracted, unable to shake the unsettling feeling that someone was watching her from the shadows.In her office, Yara observed Maura's every move on the surveillance screen, a smug smile curling her lips. After sending a message in the group chat, it didn't take long for inquiries about Maura to start pouring in. Some people had even begun placing bids. Yara's heart swelled with glee as if she could already see the money piling up in her hands."Yara, this girl's going
Chapter 122
Yara had just received another hundred thousand dollars and was overjoyed. She hadn't expected to make two hundred thousand dollars in the time it took to finish a meal."Alright, punk, you got lucky this time!" Yara shot Maura a subtle glance. Since someone had stepped in for Maura today, Yara decided to let it go for now. However, she wasn't about to give up on her. Maura was undeniably beautiful, and if Yara could get her to work at her strip club, it would be a goldmine. She began planning other ways to lure Maura into her club."Cyrus, are you out of your mind? At worst, we could've called the police. Why would you pay her so much money? I don't have the money to pay you back!" Maura glared at Cyrus. It was clear to her that Yara was deliberately causing trouble. No matter how expensive the clothes were, there was no way they could cost two hundred thousand dollars. To Maura, this amount was astronomical."It's already done. Don't worry about it. But you will hav
