Mag-log inChapter 180: I DoMy mind went blank.Wasn't it just a stabbing? How had it become life-threatening? Had the knife struck a fatal spot?What was I supposed to do now?Countless terrifying possibilities flooded my mind, and fear wrapped itself tightly around my heart. The moment I realized I had placed Leo's existence above everything else, I finally understood just how deeply I loved him.In both my previous life and this one, I had always loved Leo, yet my love had been suppressed for one reason or another. This chance to turn back time made me realize that it wasn't only an opportunity to make up for my regrets. It also helped me understand my own feelings.I hurried into my car and drove straight to the hospital, my heart pounding with constant anxiety.As soon as I reached the waiting area outside the operating room, I saw the two children and Anessa sitting there, their faces filled with worry.The moment Anessa saw me, she walked over, gently took my hand, and gestured for me to
Chapter 179: Why Did You Protect Me?Ann charged straight at me with a razor-sharp kitchen knife in her hand, less than a meter away.Damn it! When did she get here?My legs were still trembling from the aftermath of the gunshots. I had unconsciously relaxed because I thought everything was over, and now I didn't have the strength to move at all.Right before my eyes, Ryan suddenly broke free from the bodyguards' arms and rushed toward Ann, trying to stop her. The fear and worry in his eyes made my heart clench.No, don't!Just as I reached out my hand, Leo forcefully pulled both Ryan and me backward, wrapping us tightly in his embrace.Thud!Ann drove the knife straight into Leo's back right in front of my eyes.Blood slowly seeped from the wound, dripping onto the ground one cold drop at a time. I stared blankly as I reached out and lightly touched the wound, my entire body turning rigid.The screams around me became nothing but ringing in my ears. I no longer knew what I was doing.
Chapter 178: Meeting Him AgainAt the end of the horizon, the light of dawn was shining. Brilliant enough to blind the eyes.I raised my head and looked at the man who appeared with the dawn. I couldn't tell whether it was the light of the sunrise or the light surrounding Leo that made my heart pound so fiercely.I had felt this feeling for a long time, yet I had always refused to admit it.Sometimes, Leo's presence made everyone around him seem insignificant.Was it because he himself was already a flawless creation? Or because ordinary people like us simply lacked the ability to turn the entire game around with one hand the way he could?My heart tingled. I was both unable to believe it and so aggrieved that it was impossible to describe.Ryan gently tugged at the hem of my shirt and said happily,"Aunt Ella, my dad is here!"But I was so shocked and bewildered that I couldn't respond to Ryan.Finn Muller was grinding his teeth in fury. He muttered like a madman,"Impossible. How co
Chapter 177: Eat a Bullet, Finn MullerI slapped Finn's hand away from my hair and shot him a warning glare.Looking at Bianca in such a miserable state, no one in their right mind would still want to stay by his side. I wondered just how far Finn was willing to indulge me.How many of my demands would he agree to?Bianca had been captured here by Finn, which meant the blackmail against the Dominic family had also been orchestrated by him. In that case, the twins were probably in his hands as well.At first, I had thought that if the twins were with Bianca, I could persuade her through emotion. Now it seemed that was meaningless. Finn had confidently summoned me here and revealed everything because he was certain I would have no way to refuse while the twins were completely under his control.I sighed softly."Finn Muller, Bianca, the Oliver family, even Julian Bennett, none of them matter to me. Why should I hand my life over to you? If you want me, then try offering a price that's a
Chapter 176: Ann Oliver Had Already Become a MurdererFinn burst into laughter, clearly thrilled by his own idea. I silently watched him revel in his madness, doing everything I could to stop a stream of curses from escaping my lips and ruining his good mood."Calm down. I didn't come here to argue with a lunatic!"I forced myself to suppress my anger, keeping my expression so calm that it bordered on indifference.Fortunately, after everything I had gone through over the course of ten previous lives and this one, I had trained myself to maintain a face as solid as stone no matter how chaotic my thoughts became.Finn Muller was a madman.And for a madman like him, neither the law nor human morality meant anything capable of restraining him. So all I could do now was think of a way to stop this disgusting wild beast.The handgun at my waist might not be able to accomplish what I wanted. Instead, it could very well become something that puts me at a disadvantage.I glanced at Finn. The
Chapter 175: Become Finn Muller's Wife?I let out a mocking laugh. There really was no limit to madness.Finn Muller had spent half his life hiding behind a flawless mask. To the outside world, he was the very image of perfection, refined and every bit the gentleman expected of high society.None of them knew that beneath that polished exterior lurked a rotten, revolting soul.His purpose in life was to steal other people's happiness and everything they cherished. What a twisted obsession.I had always known that beneath the glamorous façade of the upper class lay something vile, but seeing it reach this level was truly eye-opening. It made me wonder if Leo was one of the very few people who had managed to keep himself untainted amidst this chaos of wealthy elites.I glanced at Bianca. She looked so miserable that it was pitiful.She crawled across the floor, wearing nothing but her underwear, with a few torn strips of fabric still clinging to her body. She clutched Finn Muller's leg,
Chapter 103: How Many Times Did We Misunderstand Each Other?I looked at Leo, feeling a lump in my throat that left me speechless. Leo’s answer was completely opposite to the truths I had always believed.“Why would you… prepare a gift for me?”Leo looked at me in surprise before replying as though
Chapter 102: AngelaThat necklace was the most precious gift I treasured. Not because it was expensive or overly valuable, but because it was a gift someone had truly prepared for me.During my years living in the orphanage, I had never received a gift for any important occasion, not even my birthd
Chapter 98: Showing OffThinking about it now, it was honestly pretty ridiculous. Julian had seen Ann Oliver cling to Leo countless times, yet in the end, he still chose to let everything slide after just a few words from her.As for Nolan, he was the very definition of a hypocrite, so there was no
Chapter 96: Sumire’s New GuardianLina leaned against my shoulder and sighed.“Tell me, with how amazing a secretary’s benefits are nowadays, what’s the point of us struggling out here on our own? Maybe we should just go work as secretaries for my cousin instead.” I burst out laughing at Lina’s wo
