"It's too cold in here." Curtis tried to suppress his pain. He said with difficulty, "Gwen said that she didn't like the winter because she couldn't stand the cold …"Before he could finish, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.Curtis covered his face, crying like a helpless child. "I haven't told you … that I like you … Gwen, come to my dreams. Give me a chance to say it to you in person …"He sobbed quietly. His pleas echoed in the mortuary.Yvonne's eyes grew sore, and tears blurred her vision. Her grip on Curtis' shoulder tightened.Britney didn't understand why the adults were suddenly crying, but the sadness also washed over her. She looked at Stephen with reddened eyes. "Dad, why isn't Aunt Gwen waking up? I don't want her to sleep …"Then, she started crying.Stephen walked over and carried her in his arms. He placed a hand on her head and gently coaxed her. "Britney, it's fine. Aunt Gwen is just too tired. She needs to rest.""I want her to wake up … She promised

Edith looked at Agatha, who was getting people to topple the tombstone. She was so frantic that she didn't even hang up before she ran over to them."Stop! Stop!"The workers Agatha had hired stopped when they heard someone yelling.Edith ran over to Agatha, looking flustered. "Grandma, you can't do this. This is immoral!" Agatha looked at Edith, whose face was covered in a silk scarf. She was instantly unhappy. "Edith, why are you here?""I …" Edith immediately found herself at a loss for words.Agatha soon came to her senses. "Great! I see that you're brazen enough to stalk me now!""Grandma, I …" Edith felt guilty, but the most important thing at that moment was to keep the child's grave intact.She mustered up her courage once more. "Grandma, this child has been laid to rest. Don't you think it's a little cruel to dig his body up? "Besides, he's part of the Carrington family. You've taken so long to find him …" Edith looked at the grave pitifully. "Are you planning to me

One day, Calbert passed a stack of photos to Otto. "I'm planning to use the Webb family to threaten Sloan."The photos showed sneakily taken shots of Ashley's parents out and about in their daily lives.Otto looked at a few photos and furrowed his brows. "How does this make you any different from Mark?""I really can't care about it that much anymore." Calbert's gaze darkened, and he leaned back. "This is the simplest way, but don't worry. I'm not a monster like Mark. I'll just threaten them at most. That would be enough to get to Sloan. He gets easily worked up when it comes to anything related to Ashley."Calbert added, "Don't let Yvonne find out about this. I don't think she wants to hear about my stupid ideas right now."Otto said hesitantly, "But if you hand the photos to Sloan, he won't let you off the hook regardless of whether you truly hurt them or not.""That's good," Calbert smirked. "We should end things. I've already told him everything I should've said. If I reall

While Yvonne had arranged for men to sneak into the industrial zone, Mark was having tea with the owner of an oil refinery.During this time, Mark had been active in this area. In a few short days, he had made a name for himself as a cruel yet rich man. Many people wanted to curry favor with him.That was why Yvonne's men could barely enter this industrial area to look for Mark.However, Mark knew that Yvonne was smart and capable. She would soon find a way to get to him.Besides, he no longer wanted to hide."Mark, I heard that they caught two unknown men today. They have been sent away."

For your safety, I think it's best you leave this place as soon as possible."Mark looked up at him lazily. "I have my plans."The factory owner smiled fawningly. "Y-Yes, I shouldn't be so nosy. Don't take it to heart. Afte

Cory had always been swift to act, especially when it came to things related to Ashley.The next morning, they arrived at Ashley's parents' house. Cory rang the doorbell multiple times, but no one answered.The Webbs' neighbor finally came out and explained, "The two of them said that they had won a lottery two days ago. They packed up their things and left for a holiday."Cory stopped ringing the doorbell. When the neighbor left, he punched the gates hard.At that moment, his phone vibrated. He had gotten a message.He checked it and saw that he had gotten a photo from an unknown number. The photo showed Ashley's parents sitting in a café.

Without thinking, he said, "That bastard is just leading us on like a dog on a leash!"First, Calbert had used a photo to lead them to the Webbs' house.
