Mayor Patrick frantically scolded Durango like that just because he was afraid of offending Monica. Hanging up the phone, Durango also vaguely realized the situation at that time. It would be disadvantageous if he dared to speak morality. Besides, Mayor Patrick’s panic from the other end of the phone was enough for Durango to feel that this woman and Justin were completely untouchable. Like a dog with its tail between its legs, the sheriff turned to the woman and Justin, stammering. “P…Pleas…e, please forgive me. It was because I was careless, confused and ignorant. Please forgive me this time.” Justin and Monica remained standing in the same place, looking at Durango with cold eyes. Obviously, they have no intention of ignoring this stupid and abusive police officer. As if realizing that, Durango, who had now thrown away all the dignity of a leading police officer, knelt down and clasped his hands in prostration repeatedly. “Please forgive me and help me keep this a secret from
In response to the respectful greetings given to him, Justin only nodded slightly. He noticed Monica, who was also bowing respectfully to him. “Now that you are an official of Newtown, there is no need to show me such respect.” Monica didn’t wait for Justin to say the second sentence and immediately stood up straight. Her ability to work decisively is something that not any man can possess, let alone a woman. Monica glanced at Hamza and the woman walking beside him. “Your Majesty, do I need to deal with these people right now? It seems they came to cause trouble for you.” She said to Justin. Hamza was about to say something, but his ex-fiancee Justin walked next to him and promptly stopped his mouth. She found the newcomers mysterious and somewhat scary, with the guns they held at their sides. “No need. It wouldn’t be good if bloody fights were spread around my future wife’s family. I don’t want anyone to talk about my future wife.” Justin held Katherine’s hand tightly and s
Justin’s surprise proposal to Katherine attracted the attention of everyone around, not only Monica and her teammates but also the neighbors around Katherine’s house. They all came and witness it. In such a poor neighborhood, people often fall in love and become husband and wife after a small wedding, with absolutely no elaborate proposals. But today, that special thing happened in this neighborhood. A fleet of meticulously arranged Rolls-Royce cars, an army of hundreds of elite soldiers kneeling on the ground, a guy with a super beautiful golden ratio face and a calm expression is proposing to a poor girl miserable with the peasant dress commonly seen on women around here and blind eyes. The story seems to only exist in Cinderella fairy tales, but now it is present in real life. This was hard to believe for Hamza and his fiancée - who is also Justin’s ex-fiancee. Originally, they came here today, not only to take revenge but also to humiliate Justin, to shame him into returning
A house with a weathered exterior, built decades ago, stood before them.The peeling walls, faded paint resembling the rough skin cracks of a person in the driest season of the year.The small house, dimly lit by faint yellow lights, gradually lost its light as the day turned into night, adding to its eerie and desolate atmosphere.As dusk fell, two figures in the backyard shared a meal, their desperate postures blending with the melancholy atmosphere of the house.“Why does misfortune always seem to strike at the same time?”The two individuals, each holding their plate, had yet to exchange a word. The woman spoke, accompanied by a heavy sigh.“Julie is missing, still not found. And Katherine was expelled from the family company. I wonder what awaits us in the days to come.”The man replied, his wrinkled face expressing concern and worry.He picked up a piece of lettuce, tasted the bland and even bitter flavor.At that moment, a youthful voice echoed in the air. “Grandma, Grandpa! I’m
It seems Katherine had a long dream, but in the end, she couldn’t recall any images that appeared.She fell into an endless and familiar, yet strange sensation. Vague details clung to her, but then faded and disappeared, leaving only a series of confused feelings with no clear reason.Quite peculiar, Katherine thought. How can a blind person dream about colors and light?She had long abandoned any hope for this, but evidently, a small ambition still lingered deep within her.Katherine was puzzled. She had long been accustomed to darkness, so why did this dream suddenly appear?She had fully awakened but kept her eyes closed to grasp the lingering vague dream sensations.Justin’s gentle hand was caressing her smooth cheek. Katherine smiled, feeling foolish.Why chase after false dreams when Justin, who was already the greatest gift, was right there to compensate?Katherine slowly opened her eyes.Light...Suddenly, a blinding glare hit her, and Katherine cried out in pain, squinting her
Justin’s voice echoed, capturing the attention of everyone in the banquet hall as they turned towards them. The trio quickly became the center of attention, with Justin, Katherine, and Julie drawing everyone’s gaze. Katherine could sense the tension in the air as all eyes shifted towards them. She looked at Justin, and in his arms, their daughter became timid. A feeling of anxiety rolled up within her. But unlike Katherine and Julie, Justin had a different demeanor. His cold gaze moved from one face to another, sweeping through the crowd as if ending all conversations and smiles. Especially when his eyes met Naomi, Hamza, and Mr. Sherwood, a palpable tension appeared on his face. A fire seemed to ignite within Justin, anger and hatred making his eyes as sharp as knives. He seemed ready to kill them. At this moment, whispers suddenly arose around them: “He looks familiar.” “Yes, it seems I know him.” “...” “...” Justin glanced at those people, but paid little attention to the
The tall man paused at the entrance, and the bell around his neck emitted a chilling and spine-tingling sound.Caesar.The bell sounded like an ominous omen, and its eerie resonance had a heavy impact on everyone present.Whatever it was, it was undoubtedly not an ordinary object, sending shockwaves through the crowd for a moment.Accompanied by the echoing bell, the entire hall fell silent, the air thick with tension, frozen in a moment.This imposing figure stood out prominently in the crowd.Caesar’s muscular physique was exposed, sleek against his dark tan skin.Every aspect of him exuded a menacing demeanor.His ruthless gaze swept over each face on the ground, as if observing tiny ants. Those he glanced at couldn’t help but shudder, their bodies trembling.Caesar bent down, passed through the gate, locking his gaze on Katherine.Her sharp senses quickly detected something unusual, as if her body was engulfed in a fiery, powerful force.She couldn’t see, but she was under the gaze
Justin had specifically instructed Caesar not to take any lives inside, so Caesar only created a minor disturbance.Despite Caesar’s desire to continue causing chaos, Justin felt it was enough and finally ordered Caesar to withdraw.The entire scene was chaotic, and the onlookers, who had initially been watching the drama with interest, were now frightened, huddling together to avoid being harmed by Caesar’s powerful hands.This was a human being, yet possessed a strength that should not naturally belong to a human.How had the man under Justin’s command been trained to this extent?Those present couldn’t fathom it, and they didn’t want to. They were currently struggling to avoid the tumultuous situation.At this point, they couldn’t help but cast accusing glances at Mr. Sherwood.What was supposed to be a traditional family feast had turned into such chaos, and the responsibility clearly fell on the head of the family.Mr. Sherwood was well aware of the dissatisfaction among today’s g
