Katherine always believed herself to be intelligent, but she never imagined that she was just a puppet dancing before others. In the secret room with state-of-the-art equipment spanning every corner of the house, she couldn't escape Justin's watchful eyes. Unfortunately, everything Katherine had been through so far was exactly what Justin wanted.For someone as cunning as Katherine, from the moment she entered this house to enact her drama, he had the best surveillance. The bathroom was no exception. The presence of the police and the doctor was truly an unforeseen mishap for Justin, yet, these things were still within his control.Justin, therefore, adapted accordingly. He deliberately sent the maid into the bathroom to relay information, and also planted vague suspicions in Katherine's mind about her exposure. Regardless, she was guilty, and even the guilty startle at their faults. The torment of conscience would momentarily dull her mind.The girl just now was another mishap. When
“Julie! Do you understand what you are saying?!”Katherine gritted her voice, suppressing the anger rising in her heart. After all, everything she did was for little Julie. If her daughter didn't even accept her, what was the point of all those dirty deeds?It must be Monica, she must have injected these things into Julie's head, causing her to have those wrong thoughts. Monica is definitely trying to gradually distance Julie from her, and from there she will steal everything from her. Those friends of Justin's, after all, are only for the fortune he left behind!Katherine will definitely not let this happen!“Mom, go quickly... I want to go back to find you.”Katherine felt like she had a thousand words she wanted to say but ended up stuck in her throat. "Julie, you don't understand anything," Katherine spoke up, her voice cracking with anger, "That bitch… no, Monica shouldn't say things like that to you. You're too young to understand these things." . Monica is brainwashing and inje
After finishing speaking, Laramie took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped clean the spot where Katherine had just touched, as if wanting to erase every trace of her from his life. That gesture made Katherine feel like she was being pushed out of his world. A blunt and painful rejection.Katherine stepped back, feeling overwhelmed with despair. All hopes that had been flickering within her now vanished, leaving only pain and loneliness.The sound of traffic echoed on the street, and the next words from Laramie’s handsome face couldn’t reach Katherine’s ears with any further impact. Confusion surged in her mind; the turmoil made it impossible for her to comprehend what was happening. All recent events seemed to spin out of control, leaving her feeling lost in a maze with no way out.It was in that moment that Kimmy, sitting beside Laramie, slowly took off her dark sunglasses and looked straight into Katherine’s eyes. “Katherine,” she called out softly yet seriously.Those words we
Kimmy was truly satisfied with the way she had disciplined the woman who had long been a thorn in her side. She shoved Katherine, causing her to fall onto the sidewalk, then looked at her with disdain before casually wiping her hands on a handkerchief, as if she had just brushed off some dirt. Without a word of farewell, Kimmy pressed a button, and the car’s glass door slowly closed, separating her from Katherine and the outside world.Kimmy turned to Laramie, both of them brimming with smugness and satisfaction. It was simple; they had achieved their goal with no effort, leaving the risks for their scapegoat to bear. Kimmy and Laramie believed everything had been resolved and Katherine was no longer a looming threat. They were about to leave, marking the end of a cruel plan they had carried out together.But just then, from the opposite direction, a convoy of supercars suddenly appeared, heading straight towards them, blocking their path forward. The dazzling headlights of the cars s
In the car, Julie continued to resist Kimmy's embrace. Each time she attempted to make contact, Julie recoiled further, seeking safety and escape from her. Katherine sat in silence, pained to see her daughter so fearful. She felt torn pushing Julie into Kimmy's hands, but the threat to her daughter's life compelled her to comply with Kimmy's orders.Elsewhere, Justin had left the control room, swiftly moving through the corridor leading to the armory and weaponry chamber. In this dim space, Justin quickly selected the specially designed armor for the most dangerous situations. The heavy, snug armor enveloped his body, its reassuring solidity providing a certain peace of mind. He equipped himself with modern combat gear, from a radio set and handguns to grenades and daggers. Each item he meticulously checked, ensuring they functioned well and were ready for use.Prepared, Justin swiftly descended into the garage, where various vehicles from ordinary to supercars were carefully stored.
On the winding mountain road, two cars were closely tailing each other, maneuvering through hairpin turns and sharp bends. Justin was not willing to wait; he attempted to force Laramie's car off the road, intentionally nudging his vehicle to decrease speed. Sweat beaded his body, his mind focused on one sole aim: to overtake Laramie and rescue Julie!However, Laramie was not an easy opponent. He was equally unyielding, unafraid of Justin's threats. Above all, he knew Julie was in his car, a leverage that couldn't be denied. Laramie was daring, unhesitating to confront Justin head-on, knowing that Justin wouldn't dare harm him while his daughter was in his grasp.Amidst the tense race, Justin felt worry creeping into his mind. He knew he couldn't do anything reckless. Though he wanted to overtake Laramie, he dared not take any action that might endanger Julie's life.Realizing that Laramie was risking everything, Justin changed his strategy. Calmness gradually returned to his mind. He
“This isn't Julie?”Both Justin's and Katherine's voices rang out simultaneously. They looked at each other, then looked back at Ace. Ace said nothing, walking straight to the body that Katherine was still holding tightly in her arms. He looked at her, she hesitated for a moment then put down the charred body.Ace bent down, put on his gloves, and carefully examined the corpse's body. After a while, Acxe spoke up again. This time, his voice was more assertive and confident:“I can use my professional reputation to guarantee that this is definitely not baby Julie.”Justin and Katherine breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their hearts that had been hanging for a while could finally calm down. Katherine wiped away her tears and stopped crying. She looked at the body on the ground with a dazed expression, still not understanding what had happened.On one side, Justin was observing all the guys on the scene here. Katherine's expression just now must not have been fake. She is an un
The key reason why Kimmy wanted to keep baby Julie was finally revealed in the argument between the two of them. Justin held his hand tightly, not expecting that this crazy woman not only wanted to take his property, but also dared to think of raising his child. Julie is Justin's final limit. They can touch anything, except the blood and kin that Justin cherishes like gold.While the other two were still arguing over disagreements, Justin glanced at Monica, Leona and Caesar. They quickly caught the signal, slowly drew closer distance from the other two people, their hands clutching the hems of their shirts.Hidden under their hems are the most advanced weapons that Caesar has carefully prepared in times of danger. Each person had a pistol. While the others were still enthusiastic, the whole group suddenly rushed forward.Caesar and Justin grabbed Laramie, and Leona grabbed Kimmy. The situation immediately became chaotic. During the struggle, Justin's gun was triggered and shot right p
