A buzzing sound filled Jerome\'s ears. His eyes were clouded as he stared at the message. The words had blurred into one another. Zoey was dead. \"What\'s the matter, brother Jerome?\" Xyrille was still thinking about how to explain the 500000 yuan to him for a while. Jerome\'s expression was strange. Was he suspicious? “I\'ll go out for a minute!\" He strode out and asked his assistant to prepare the car immediately, as he wanted to go to the police station to identify the body! At the police station, Officer Wang was in charge of Zoey\'s case. As he led Jerome to the body, he began, \"Mr. Fu, please be prepared. When the car accident happened, Miss Xu curled up in order to protect her child. Her bones have been broken in many places. Her body is going to look a little different than what she normally looked like.\" Jerome’s emotions ran wild. Anxiety, restlessness, irritability, doubt. Like an abyss, it devoured him. Though this
She tried a different approach. Tentatively, she asked, \"Jerome, Zoey has no relatives now. We must give her a beautiful funeral.\" \"No.\" Jerome clenched her fingers. \"She had a bad reputation before she died.” \"At least let’s contact the funeral home. Zoey was my best friend. I want the best service for her!\" Xyrille covered her chest and breathed heavily, as though she was having difficulty. “You\'ve just had a baby. Leave these things to other people,” he said to her as he walked out the door. “Rest well.” Hearing that he was concerned about her, Xyrille was satisfied. For now. For now, she thought, I have nothing to worry about. She sure was going to rest well today. Still she thought about any loose ends she might need to tie up before she can finally feel at ease. Mr. Xu was still in prison, while Mrs. Xu...well, she had gone missing. So far, none of the people under her payroll were able to find out where the old woma
He was still here and yet the nanny dared to threaten Ruirui like this, how much more when he was away? \"Mr. Fu?\" The nanny turned to look at Jerome. She almost dropped Ruirui in her hand. She bowed her head and apologized.\" I didn\'t mean it. The young master is still young. He can\'t understand...\" Jerome took Ruirui and cradled him. Looking at him, he realized that his son was born full-term, but he was weak and sickly. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Ruirui\'s small arm. There was a blue and purple pinch mark on his arm, and some of the marks were the shape of fingernails. Although the marks had scabbed, it was quite fresh. Ruirui has been abused! \"I don\'t think you should continue to work in this field,\" he said to the nurse. The nurse trembled and fell on her knees. \"The wound on the young master\'s arm wasn’t my doing. When I came here in the morning, the young master was already like this. I just lifted his sleeve to cl
Jerome grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall. Without warning, he kissed her on the lips. \"No!\" Zoey screamed as she moved her head to the side, trying to evade him. She tried as hard as she could to pull away from him. but he was too strong for her. He held her wrist above her head. He continued kissing her, and slowly began groping her ass. Zoey continued to struggle, and managed to scream once again. \"Let go!\" Her tears began to fall uncontrollably and brought Jerome back to his senses. He slowly withdrew as Zoey wiped her face with her sleeve. \"Jerome! I\'ll sue you for sexual assault! You’ll hear from my lawyer!” Though he was happy to hear her voice, he playfully mocked her. \"I\'m not afraid to go to prison, and I\'m not afraid of your lawyer.\" To Zoey, his words and his mocking tone brought a deluge of unpleasant memories, and she promptly got back to screaming and hitting him. This time, he caught her wrist a
Jerome didn\'t go home. Leaving the party, he sat quietly in the back seat of his car, waiting for the assistant to send the information to his mailbox. Soon, he had leaned back and was fast asleep. In his dream, Zoey was 17 or 18 years old. Standing under the peach blossom trees, she brushed away her hair which was blown to her face by the wind, and said shyly to him, \"Hello, Mr. Fu, I\'m Zoey Xu. I was born in the blooming season of crape myrtle, so I was named Zoey.\" In his dream, her face suddenly aged, and now her black eyes looked sad. Her thin fingers stroked his face.\" Jerome, close your eyes, count to ten, and I will give you a surprise.\" In his dream, he obediently closed his eyes. However, when he had counted to five, he opened his eyes. He was shocked to see that she had been hacked to pieces. Her face was totally different, her wounds were numerous, and her chest seemed to be transparent. Inside, he could see her heart beating slowly.
A few years later, he happened to be vacationing in China when he learned that the Xu family had fallen upon hard times. What goes round comes around, or so they say. In fact, any resentment that he had harbored was simply swept away when he saw her face. He noted as her pictures were handed to him by the detective he had sent to follow her, that she was so beautiful, even while pregnant. Once again, he was smitten by her. Jerome had let Xyrille work for him in the company after Zoey had died. People were expecting to see Xyrille promoted quickly, but Jerome didn\'t even regularize her. Soon, she left her job. Xyrille was wearing a simple and elegant dress suit, and her makeup was light and natural. She held a thermos in her hand and smiled to welcome her up. \"Jerome, you’re back!\" \"Didn\'t I tell you not to come here? Who will take care of Ruirui at home? You should take good care of him.\" \"You always stay up late and work overtime a
Thelma\'s heart went out to her mistress. \"Mr. Fu, how can you blame your wife? Usually you often go out on business or work overtime. She manages everything at home. Ruirui is getting bigger and bigger. Toddlers are much more difficult than infants, and sitting in the children\'s seat upsets him. His voice gets hoarse from crying too much. Who knew that this was going to happen?\" After a pause, seeing that Jerome was agitated, she added, \"It\'s all the fault of the driver who hit the car!\" Thelma and Xyrille’s eyes met. Xyrille saw that Jerome’s eyes were downcast. Thelma had skillfully shifted the blame. \"I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my voice, sir.\" \"No, you were right.\" The past few months, he has seen that his son has been properly cared for. He never had any more marks on him, and he seemed much healthier. He had gained a lot of weight and was growing fast. The woman who had caused the accident soon arrived. The
Landon, wearing a black stiff overcoat, came against the light and walked across the room. \"Landon...\" Zoey turned and rushed to him. Landon held her in his arms. He took off his coat and wrapped it around Zoey. He said in a low voice, \"don\'t worry, I won\'t allow you to be wronged.\" With that, he handed Jerome a stack of videotapes. \"Mr. Fu, if you want to protect your future wife, please tell her to investigate before jumping to conclusions,” he said, addressing Jerome rather than Xyrille. “It was her who didn\'t obey the traffic rules. She had parked her car in the middle of the road. You should be glad that no other vehicles were involved, as it could have been a serial accident.\" He wrapped his hand around Zoey. Xyrille stared at the video tape and turned pale. \"I just wanted to stop and at a toy store, as Ruirui wanted a toy. I was just going to buy one quickly. I really didn\'t mean to...\" She was shaking in anger.
