The next day, I delivered the food I had made for Ivanna to the hospital. As I entered the lobby, I saw a group of medical staff rushing out.Shortly after, I saw several police officers and nurses pushing a stretcher towards the emergency room. As they passed by, I noticed that the person lying on the stretcher was none other than Melanie.She was wearing prison clothes. Her abdomen was covered in blood, and her face was extremely pale, indicating severe blood loss.She caught sight of me in just that fleeting moment. She immediately grabbed the stretcher and shouted, "Chloe…! Stop... I want to see Chloe!"I was stunned. The stretcher was already far beyond my reach. Melanie struggled desperately, "Stop, I want to see Chloe... She's right there! Chloe, I have something to say! I want to see my sister-in-law!"She tried to sit up from the stretcher with all her strength, her hands soaked in blood, reaching out towards me past the medical staff and police."You're out of your mind

The voice startled me for a moment. I glanced at my phone skeptically and calmly asked, "Where are you?"The voice on the other end responded coldly, "Foswood.""Foswood?" I asked incredulously."Why? Surprised? No one can stop me when I put my mind to something." The voice sounded sinister, with a hint of triumph."It's faster than I imagined, but you couldn't win even in Nocturnia. Do you think you have the capital to win in Foswood?" I scoffed at her."It depends on how I make my move!" the other side replied, then laughed sinisterly. "I told you, you'll regret it!"As soon as these words were spoken, I couldn't help but recall the moment a few days ago in Nocturnia when Celine was rescued—the sinister and triumphant look in her eyes and the exact words she said then."Chloe, you're just a brainless fool. Do you know why your memory was erased? Haha..." Her gloating chuckle was blatant and smug."Don't try to intimidate me! You should be thankful for my memory loss. Otherwis

Tanum successfully assumed control of the two Old Bourdamun urban renewal projects two days later. After signing the contracts, Ryan and I visited Old Bourdamun to meet Noah.Noah’s attitude was unclear, as he still avoided dealing with us. At the project meeting, Noah's final response to me was open bidding and fair competition.Ryan and I breathed a sigh of relief secretly. This was the purpose of our visit to Noah today.However, we were happy too early. Plans could not keep up with changes. While we were working hard, the other side was not idle either.There had been no news since Lance contacted me to schedule an appointment. I was too naive to think he had given up.Just when Tanum was widely reported online for signing the urban renewal projects of Norton and Anestin, Hartz ran into trouble.Someone exposed the so-called insider information about Hartz Group. They revealed the projects in Solaris, publicly proclaiming that Hartz lacked the qualifications and capital to un

My heart suddenly tightened as I watched them walk in together, sensing that something must be amiss in Yare.Trinity looked at me with a hint of coldness in her eyes while Hana simply followed behind her silently.The atmosphere in the office became awkward.I maintained a calm outward demeanor, but curiosity was gnawing at me inside. My mind was making all kinds of speculations.Carol brought them coffee. After setting it down, she glanced at me before quietly leaving the room.Finally, I couldn’t hold back. I looked at Trinity and asked, "Why the silence? What brings you here?"Before Trinity could answer, there was a knock on the office door. Atlas pushed the door open and strode in.I immediately understood that they had been waiting for Atlas.After Atlas came in, he immediately understood the situation after glancing at all of us. He unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat on the sofa, and addressed Trinity. "Speak.""The Non-Organization has started moving. There have been man

After hearing her question, I smiled. "That's a tough question to answer.""Oh?" Mia narrowed her eyes at me. "Just say what you think. I believe honesty is the best policy.""You know that I've always been honest with you. You have a deeper understanding of human nature compared to us." I spoke frankly.Mia's face stiffened for a moment.I suppressed my smile and lightly said, "If I say I don't mind, it would be hypocritical. But if I say I do mind, it would make you uncomfortable since you’re my guest. It looks like you’re deliberately making things difficult for me."I could tell that my response left Mia in a dilemma.I had deliberately said that. Why did I have to pretend everything was fine and make her feel comfortable? She had already made blatant moves against me, but she was acting as if nothing had happened when she saw me. It was unreasonable for me to just smile and talk to her as if nothing was wrong.I used to think Arthur was too eager for success, but I hadn't e
