“Good or bad, no one knows!” Mr. Shively placed the teacup firmly on the table.“You tell me, was he just a temporary mistake or did he not care about us and dared to take Matt out without telling us a word?” I called earlier but didn’t answer the phone. You say it’s acceptable!” The more Mr. Shively thinks about it, the angrier he gets. If someone touches his property, he can open his eyes and see if he can ignore it or not. But he couldn’t touch Matt. To him, Matt was priceless. Even if you put Matt on the scale with everything on the scale, Matt will always be on the heavier side. He and his wife are over forty, and have only one son. Matt is his future, his hope and all his love!“Let me send someone to Edward’s house again. Maybe this time we can meet him, or at least get some information. Now staying at home and being impatient won’t do anything.” Mrs. Shively gently patted her husband’s shoulder. On the outside, she still appeared calm, but on the inside, she was as hot as fire
“Who do you think you are? Don’t even think that Matt likes you. If Cipher likes something, he’ll do it!” Mr. Shively was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted into the phone with strained vocal cords. He had underestimated Edward, never expecting him to be so cunning. After sending his son away without a word when questioned, Edward responded in such a defiant tone. Clearly, he didn’t value anyone! Mr. Shively thought Edward was competent and composed, but it turned out he was just an impulsive troublemaker. Compared to other young people in the city, he was much more foolish. Committing an offense in this city, according to Mr. Shively, was akin to heading for certain death.“Who I am, you already know! Of course, I’m just an ordinary person, no more, no less. How can I compare to Mr. Shively here? But let me make it clear, in Switzerland, that’s Matt’s wish.” Edward was not one to back down, responding to the other person with an extremely sharp tone.“No need for expla
“When did you arrive?” Harry was in the kitchen preparing some food for the kids. When he turned around, he saw Edward standing there. This startled him greatly, as from the beginning, as from the beginning, Edward had stated that he wouldn’t come here. Everything related to Matt and Cipher was supposed to be handled by Harry. So why was Edward standing idly here? Edward wasn’t the type to be idle. Moreover, from what Harry knew, Edward was busy dealing with something for the company overseas.“Oh, nothing much. Can’t I come here?” Edward said with a smile, then approached Harry, putting his arm around his shoulders.For some reason, faced with Edward’s familiarity, Harry subconsciously showed avoidance. He stamped to the right, pushing Edward’s hand away. Clearly, they used to be very close, and putting an arm around the shoulders was a normal thing, but now Edward’s action seemed strange to Harry. Maybe it was because people had become unfamiliar. Harry couldn’t sense the warm and s
Seeing Mrs. Marget’s baffling attitude, Edward was like a diner enjoying a sumptuous feast. He smirked:“You want to know who I am? That’s easy. I won’t hesitate to tell you.”Edward licked his lips, as if enjoying the anger and panic of others. Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Mrs. Marget was so dizzy that she couldn’t stand anymore and had to grope on a nearby sofa and sit down.House maid - Lyly didn’t understand what was happening when she saw that, but looked at Marget’s pale face and her trembling lips. Lyly surmised that some earth-shattering news had hit this woman’s head, causing even such a heart of steel to collapse.Lyly groped to ask her boss:“Ma’am, are you okay? Do you want me to help you?”But in response to that concern, Mrs. Marget got angry again. She picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at Lyly, making her scream. She only had time to dodge the light to one side, and the teapot hit the ground hard. The tea splashed onto the white apron, causing i
“How’s everything going?” Mr. Shively was getting extremely anxious, as the police hadn’t contacted him. The situation was crystal clear; Edward took Matt to Switzerland without Mr. Shively’s consent, kidnapping him. Unable to contain himself, Mr. Shively contacted the police, hoping for a swift resolution.The police officer on the other end of the line felt uneasy upon receiving Mr. Shively’s call. He didn’t know how to address the situation standing between two of the most powerful figures in the city.“Uh, we are still investigating this matter,” the police officer replied cautiously.“Investigating?” Mr. Shively furrowed his brows slightly. Everything seemed quite clear to him; Edward, without a doubt, had kidnapped Matt. “Well... there are some unclear aspects to this case. Edward is influential in the city, and we don’t want to act recklessly.”“What about my son, Matt?” Mr. Shively angrily shouted into the phone, tossing a vase on the ground. His face was now as red as a roost
The two boys were of course extremely excited about Edward's proposal. Both Cipher and Matt are only thirteen years old, after all, it's normal to want to play." Really? I also really like skiing!” Matt raised his head and looked at Edward. Skiing was one of his favorite sports. Just now he was about to tell Edward that he wanted to go skiing, but Edward was the one who spoke first.Edward had already guessed Matt's attitude. Since starting this plan, he has thoroughly investigated Matt's interests and strengths. The boy is also considered a "little athlete" in skiing. Every year Mr. and Mrs. Shively take Matt to luxurious ski resorts of the aristocracy for the boy to practice and show off his talent. But Edward knows that anyone who is good at any field will definitely love that field, Matt is no exception. When he came here, he also noticed a slightly "longing" look in his eyes when looking at the ski field over there.“Yes, such beautiful terrain without skiing would be such a was
“Matt!” Cipher exclaimed in fear. This was the first time the boy had encountered such a situation, and he didn’t know how to snowboard. He couldn’t catch up with his friend.Matt’s situation was becoming increasingly dire. If things continued, the boy would throw himself down the snowy slope, and by then, his tiny body would collide with various obstacles below. Surely, he wouldn’t survive!Harry stood next to Edward, his face pale. He stood still, paralyzed by the terrifying scene in front of him.“No!” Harry snapped out of his shock. He slid down on his snowboard towards Matt. Only he could save Matt now. Neither Edward nor Cipher knew how to snowboard; the only hope rested on Harry.When Harry was just a few steps away from Matt, a lightning-fast figure came from behind, even faster than Harry’s snowboarding speed. The person didn’t utter a word, but shoved Harry aside and headed straight for Matt. The familiar yet terrifying figure that pushed Harry aside was none other than Edwa
“Back then, it was you who prepared the snowboarding equipment for everyone. Then, Matt’s snowboard had issues. Was that just a coincidence? I don’t think so. There’s no coincidence here! You tampered with Matt’s snowboard, didn’t you? You knew Matt would definitely choose that green snowboard, and if he didn’t choose it willingly, you had a way to make him pick it. Am I right?”Edward, upon hearing this, chuckled lightly. His friend was indeed intelligent! Finally, Harry had figured it out. However, Edward had no intention of hiding anything.“Yes, that’s right. It was all part of my plan.” Edward admitted without hesitation. Everything Harry said was correct. He had manipulated Matt’s snowboard, carefully calculating which board Matt would choose. And if Matt didn’t choose it willingly, Edward had a trick to ensure he picked that specific one.“What do you want? You keep lying. You know how to snowboard, and you’re quite skilled at it. When Matt lost his balance, I had moved forward
