Xyrille\'s jaw was agape, then her eyes were suddenly full of concern. \"Zoey, what happened? How… why are you dressed like that? Where have you been recently? I\'ve been looking for you for so long!\" \"Enough!” She shrieked. “Stop acting!\" After three months of darkness, it took a while before her eyes could adjust to the sunlight. Outside, the brightness was blinding, but she managed to walk and find them in this dress shop. It took every ounce of self-control she had to keep from pouncing at Xyrille. She wanted to slap her and tear her hair out. Instead she turned to Jerome. “The baby in her stomach is not yours! I heard her men talking about it, they said her baby was fathered by another man.” “And also she set me up so you would catch me in bed with another man!” “She had me kidnapped! Don’t marry her, she\'s a liar!\" On and on she went, raging and ranting. Even as Xyrille\'s heart thumped wildly, she managed to shed a tea
She tugged at Zoey\'s clothes and begged miserably. \"Zoey, I know you hate me. You hurt yourself to slander me. I know you must love Jerome deeply. Even though you got pregnant with another man’s child, it must be because he neglected you. I swear to God that I love him and would never betray him.\" She spoke softly and was wide-eyed. “Let go of me!\" Zoey angrily tried to pull the hem of her dress out of Xyrille’s hand, but she held on to it tightly. \"Ah!\" Xyrille\'s eyes widened even more, and she fell back. Jerome saw that she was about to hit the wall behind her, and he quickly stepped forward, and held her in his arms. \"I...\" Xyrille\'s forehead was in a cold sweat, and her hands covered her abdomen. \"My belly hurts…our child, we must save our child...\" Whatever doubts he had, they were all swept away, and now he was sure Zoey was really set on hurting her former best friend. \"If anything happens to Xyrille and the child, I pr
Knock, knock. A male doctor in a white coat came in. Holding another report in his hand, he said respectfully, \"Mr. Fu, Ms. An asked us to do an amniocentesis for her before she lost consciousness. The results have come out. Would you like to have a look?\" Zoey didn\'t even think about it. Though her body felt weak, she quickly grabbed the report from Jerome. She turned to the last page. Zoey trembled as she read that Xyrille’s child and that of Jerome had a parent-child relationship! Suddenly out of control, she raised the report in her hand and wildly waved it in front of Jerome. “Fake, both of these reports are fake! Jerome, Xyrille must have bribed the doctor to switch the report! This report should belong to me. This must be why she had kidnapped me!\" Jerome\'s blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. His palms were hot. Suddenly, he reached out to slap her, but stopped himself mid-way. \"Have you watched too ma
Zoey stood at the door, covering her mouth, unable to accept the scene. There were passers-by. She spoke to one of them, and asked what had happened. The man answered, \"Do you mean to the Xu family? The father was an unscrupulous businessman who bribed the chief executive. He was exposed and arrested. It seems that their company has gone bankrupt,” he noticed that his impassioned reply seemed to have affected her. “By the way, why do you ask? Young woman, I think you are pregnant. It’s bad luck to visit places like these. A woman in your condition shouldn’t visit this part of town.” “My surname is Xu,\" she said simply. Embarrassed, the man excused himself and went on his way. Xu Zoey stood silently at the gate for a long time, then turned around and left. So much had happened in the three months she was kidnapped. Didn\'t he let her family go when she signed the divorce? Why, Jerome? Why are you so cruel? Time,
Zoey\'s eyes began to take on a cold expression. The voices she’d heard! It wasn’t a dream! \"Were you sent by Xyrille?\" Thelma’s heart jumped, but she asked, \"Who is Xyrille? Miss Xu, please calm down and conserve your energy. You need to rest and recover from childbirth.\" Zoey pressed her. \"Where have you taken my child?\" Seeing the anger in Zoey\'s eyes, Thelma left immediately. \"Stop! Give me back my child...\" Zoey wanted to go after her, but she could barely lift her legs, and they fell back on the bed with a plop. The quiet room was like a lonely dead city. She looked at the dead baby. She reached for her mobile phone and dialed Xyrille’s number. Again and again, she dialed. The phone rang but nobody answered. Finally, the call was answered, but instead of Xyrille’s soft voice, it was Jerome. \"Who asked you to harass Xyrille? Don’t you know she just had a baby today?\" Learning tha
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
