Stephen asked, "Can you tell me about the black SUV that crashed at the intersection?" The accident was quite unexpected; it should have had a pretty horrific shock effect on the occupants.On the LCD screen, the scene of the accident between a black SUV and a tronton truck was displayed. As it was getting dark, the flashing lights from the police cars illuminated the car that had a dented side and a perfectly shattered window.William said with a straight face, "One passenger died, and two others were seriously injured and are undergoing intensive treatment in the emergency room."Stephen asked, "Are the police going to come after me next?" Although the look on his face was calm, his heart was beating fast. This was his first experience shooting a bullet at someone.William explained, "Of course, they are looking for you because your bullet lodged in someone's body. But, you don't need to worry because you acted in self-defense. After all, they strafed the car you were using with live
In front of a wide mirror stood a woman wearing a calf-length black dress made of shiny silk and covered with black transparent cloth. The dress had a V-shaped chest like a kimono with transparent long sleeves, and on her stomach was a one-inch thick black belt decorated with gold accessories."Have you finished getting dressed, Fiona?" Stephen asked as he stepped into the room."Just a minute! I'm brushing my hair," Fiona replied.Skillfully, Fiona pulled her hair back, tied it up, and rolled it. Finally, she tucked a gold butterfly-shaped comb with gold-colored pearls into her hair roll. "What do you think? Do I look pretty?" Fiona turned to face Stephen, who had just entered the room. She was also wearing a necklace with a red gem pendant that she had gotten from the Best Jewelry Gallery.Fiona's face was illuminated as if the full moon was shining, with her simple makeup and pink lips. Stephen couldn't help but be stupefied by her beauty."Yes, you look perfect tonight," Stephen r
Lana's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the handsome man beside Fiona was Fiona's husband all along. "What?" her mouth fell open."Oh! So, finally, you dare to show your poor husband in public?" Lana took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling of the hall, biting her lip to hold back her laughter."The clothes he's wearing... did you rent them at a shop, or did you borrow your brother's clothes for him to wear?" the red-haired woman continued to speak. "And... the necklace you're wearing, is it an imitation?" Lana couldn't help but laugh. She covered her mouth with her fingertips."Lana--" Fiona began to speak, but was cut off by Lana."Don't try too hard to look classy when your husband is just a poor man!" Lana pointed her finger at Fiona's chest.Stephen could not stay silent. In addition to accusing Fiona of having a new man, Lana was also outrageous in insulting Stephen in public. He grabbed the one-legged glass and hit Lana's index finger before Fiona."Sorry, Mrs. Lana, i
Harold's words sounded crazy to anyone who knew that Fiona was a married woman. However, most of the attendees were unaware that the man beside Fiona was actually her husband. Fiona had always been secretive about her married life, and rumors had it that her husband came from a different social class.For these reasons, everyone who knew Harold as the rich heir to the Nelson family at university hoped that Fiona would accept his offer. Harold had been in love with Fiona for a long time.Fiona was astonished at the behavior of the man in the beige suit. “H—Harold, what are you doing?”Harold smiled sweetly, staring at Fiona with great interest. "Inviting you to dance. Am I not clear on what I'm saying?"Despite hearing Harold's request, it still came as a huge shock to Fiona, especially when Stephen's face looked so calm beside her. She didn't know why she was so nervous.Fiona took a deep breath to shake off the tension and said, "H—Harold, can't you see I'm here with my husband?"Unfo
Fiona's mind raced as she tried to find a way out of the situation. She knew she needed to act fast before things got even more out of hand.Fiona's inner voice screamed, "Gosh! Who is this madman?" She couldn't allow anyone to treat her badly.Harold whispered in Fiona's ear, spreading a chilling terror, "Honey, calm down! I won't hurt you!" For a moment, Fiona paused to identify the man who had attacked her. With ease, she recognized Harold's voice.Fiona thought, "Harold? Why are you doing this to me?" She still couldn't escape the embrace of the man in the beige suit, while her tears kept flowing.The vanilla scent emanating from Fiona's body caught Harold's attention. Just like Stephen, he wanted the scent to fill his lungs. It was as if he wouldn't stop until his lungs exploded from Fiona's scent."Argh!"Harold pushed Fiona against the wall so the two could look at each other. Harold's eyes were bloodshot, and the sweat on his body reeked of wine. He had not only been drunk on
Panicked screams began to sound from all directions, including the Nuuslaq hotel hall. The guests were shocked to hear the news of Harold's tragic death. Some of them started to guess about Harold's cause of death. But, there were also just curious.A partygoer's eyes bulged, mouth open in shock. "Oh my, Harold is dead! This can't be!" her hands pressed against her chest.The rich men who were with Harold before looked at each other with uneasy faces. Their feelings are between sadness and disbelief. "Well, it wasn't long ago that we used him as a joke! I still can't believe this!" They were remorseful.One of the rich men recalled the details of what happened before Harold walked out of the hall. "He came out drunk and his eyes were fixed on Fiona. When she exited the hotel hall, Harold followed her. Do you all remember?"The rich men nodded, their fantasies soon linking Harold's death to Fiona. Moreover, it was obvious Harold had died in the women's restroom.A rich, fat man looked a
Stephen made a call to his secretary at the Magnificent Emerald Group, Janis Aguirre. A woman's voice answered the call and greeted the young master of the Hudson family.Without wasting time, Stephen spoke to Janis calmly but firmly, "Hey, Janis! I'm at the Nuuslaq hotel, but the service sucks! I want you to take over the hotel and fire the incompetent hotel manager!" Janis agreed to Stephen's request before the call ended.Evan, who overheard Stephen's conversation, clucked his tongue and crossed his arms. He gave Stephen a disdainful look. The black-bearded man then proceeded to insult Stephen, "Who the hell do you think you are? You're just a trash man in Geoff's family!" Evan burst out laughing, but Stephen remained unfazed. He allowed Evan to laugh as he wanted to see him cry later."I wonder why Fiona isn't embarrassed to have a trash husband like you!" Evan continued to laugh, revealing his molars.Stephen crossed his arms over his chest, enjoying the exciting show in front of
After leaving Lana, Stephen reached for his cell phone once again to call Reymond Atkinson. When the call connected, Stephen asked, "Where are you now?""I'm at the hotel's security center. This is very bad news, Young Master!"Stephen's heart pounded, as he couldn't imagine something bad happening to Fiona."Please, tell me quickly!"Reymon explained in detail over the phone, "Someone has hacked into the hotel's CCTV network. As a result, the cameras couldn't record the murders or the people involved in the incident that killed Harold Nelson. This also means that we haven't found any clues regarding Mrs. Fiona's whereabouts."Stephen was furious. "Damn it!" He punched the wall until his skin hurt.With a burning heart, Stephen gave the order, "Tell our IT team to search the entire world for Fiona's face!" He continued his journey to the VIP elevator to return to the hotel lobby."I got it," Reymon answered immediately.Although the Nuuslaq hotel wasn't as good as the Magnificent Emera
