Maddie dodged to the side,"In order to welcome you,I specially asked someone to dig out Stella's ashes so that you two sisters can reunite."

A wave of anger swept through her body and everything around her seemed to be in chaos.She stared with her eyes wide open and she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to wrestle with Maddie.

During the dispute,the box fell and the liquid inside spilled out and the strong smell rushed into the nose.

It was gasoline!

Judith thought it was not good.

The liquid quickly flowed around,making people unable to move.

Judith stared at Maddie defensively,only to see her pick up the candlestick on the table by herself,with innocent eyes but cruel words.

"You know,last time you were kidnapped,Steven and his men just wanted to scare you.I bribed someone to set the fire,but I didn't expect you to escape.But you won't be so lucky this time.I've already informed Steven and his men.Let's make a bet and see who he will save?"

After that,she loosened her wrist and a raging fire instantly ignited around the house.The thick smoke made people cough.

At this moment,Judith seemed to hear Steven's anxious voice.

"Maddie,are you in there?Answer me quickly!"

His brother dissuaded him,"Steven,how can you get in with such a big fire?Let's wait for the fire brigade to come."

"That's right,Steven,even if you can get in,the fire is getting bigger and bigger.How are you and Maddie going to get out?"

But Steven's attitude was very firm."No,Maddie has just recovered.She can't wait that long."

After that,he ignored the dissuasion,poured water from his head to his whole body and rushed in without any hesitation.

The fire blurred her vision."Maddie,where are you?"

"Steven,I'm here,save me."Shouted Maddie.

Maddie fell to the ground weakly,crying."I don't know what I said to upset Miss Corliss,she suddenly knocked over the candle.Steven,I'm so scared."

Steven didn't hesitate for a moment,picked her up and didn't even look at Judith next to him.

"Maddie is not in good health,I'll take her out first.Don't worry,the fire brigade will be here soon."

After that,he hugged Maddie and ran away without looking back.

Looking at Steven's hasty departure,Judith's heart was calm.

She was surprised to find that Steven could no longer shake her.She was really disappointed in him.Judith didn't sit there and wait for death,she bent over to reduce the intake of carbon dioxide.

Long before she came,she had made all the necessary preparations.In addition to recording on her phone,she also wore a small camera on her chest.

At this time,the private detective who detected that she was in danger had arrived and rescued her.

Steven rushed to the hospital and confirmed that Maddie was fine.Suddenly,he remembered Judith's disappointed eyes in the firelight.

Looking at the time,Judith should have been rescued.

Steven sent her a message for the first time but received no response.

Maddie was not sleeping well on the hospital bed.Steven comforted her,but he couldn't help thinking of another woman in his mind.

Judith must have been scared at the time.Seeing that he had abandoned her,she must have been desperate.However,the situation was urgent and he could only rescue Maddie first.

Steven refreshed his phone repeatedly,but still did not receive any message from Judith.He frowned immediately.He was really ignorant.But for some reason,Steven was not angry in his heart.He raised his mouth with some pride,thinking that this was Judith's trick of playing hard to get.

At most,he could just coax her when the time comes,after all,Judith had always been like this.No matter how fierce their quarrel was before,Judith would come back to him in a few days.

Thinking of this,Steven was in a good mood.

Little did he know that at this time,Judith had already dragged her luggage that had been prepared long ago to the airport.

Before leaving,she handed the evidence she obtained to the private detective and asked him to sort it out and give it to Steven.

At the same time,she also submitted what Maddie and the Hubert Family did to the court.

The hundredth thing she did for Steven was to let him see the true face of Maddie and let Stella rest in peace.

Steven,I don't owe you anything.

After explaining the matter,she decisively deleted the mesages of Steven and others,threw the phone card into the trash can and boarded the plane instead.

The blue sky passed by her eyes like a painting and she put her hand on her heart to feel the vigorous beating.

***

Steven stayed with Maddie in the hospital all night.During this time,he kept checking the message box,but did not receive any message from Judith.He sneered in his heart and learned to show off.

The next morning,Steven helped Maddie complete the discharge procedures,escorted her home safely and then came to the company.

As soon as he stepped into the office,he saw the invitation letter for the 50th birthday sent by Charles Wilson,his father.

When Steven was eight years old,his parents divorced and his mother took his sister away,leaving him in the Wilson Family to suffer from his stepmother.

After the stepmother came in,she soon gave birth to a younger brother.

For the sake of her own son,she had often put pressure on Charles and sowed discord between him and his son,which led to a bad relationship between Steven and his family and even to the point where Charles wanted to give up his eldest son.

It was not until Steven’s career improved and the company grew that Charles saw him again.

Steven played with the invitation letter indifferently.He had already thought about giving the development rights of the South City project that Judith had won to the old man as a gift.

There were piles of documents on the table.Steven looked at them carelessly and called his assistant to order,“Go to the auction to buy a few diamond necklaces for me.”

The assistant immediately said,“Okay,Mr.Wilson,should we send them to Miss Hubert’s residence as usual?”

“No,”Steven said.

His hand paused as he signed,“Send it to Judith.”

After working overtime for three days,Judith didn't call at all.

Steven returned home tiredly and saw the busy figure in the kitchen and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Judith,how many times have I told you not to waste your time,I won't eat what you cook..."

Maddie looked up when she heard the voice and Steven's sarcastic words stopped abruptly and his expression softened.

She pretended not to hear what he said just now and said with a smile,"Steven,I heard from the assistant that you haven't eaten well these days.I came here specially to cook for you today as a reward for saving me."

Steven should be happy,but at this time he didn't feel any joy in his heart,"You don't have to do these."

Maddie introduced the dishes happily and Steven flashed a trace of irritation for no reason,perfunctorily said a few words and went upstairs.

The uneasiness in his heart intensified and he poured himself a glass of wine to try to numb the feeling.

Steven opened his phone for some reason and the chat record with Judith was still a few days ago.

He clearly wanted to ask where she was,but the message he sent was just the opposite.

"Remember to come to the old man's 50th birthday tomorrow.And I warn you,don't provoke Maddie again."

***

On the day of Mr.Wilson's birthday,Steven attended in a high-profile manner.

At this time,many guests had already arrived and Charles also went downstairs to greet the guests.

With the arrival of Steven,the conversation of the crowd had a new direction.

"Little Steven is really young and promising.When will my kid be as good as him?"

"When Charles Wilson was young,he was a good businessman and he also taught his children well.His children now are so outstanding,which is really enviable."

Steven was very pleased with the praise from everyone.He walked up to Charles,his eyes full of pride.

"Where's Judith?Why didn't she come with you?"Charles asked.

Charles didn't know what happened between them,but he liked Judith very much.Over the years,in order to ease the relationship between Steven and the Wilson Family,Judith did not stop to please Charles.

Steven explained unnaturally,"The company is a little busy recently,she will be here soon."

Steven and Charles entertained important guests together and soon the banquet came to the gift-giving session,but Judith still did not show up.

Steven frowned,feeling more and more uneasy.

In the past,at this time,Judith would have prepared a gift to arrive.

Steven walked to the corner and called her again and again,but all he got was a mechanical busy tone.

At this time,the assistant hurried over and delivered the gift box that Judith had given him.

Steven's long-standing uneasiness suddenly dissipated.Sure enough,Judith still cared about him.

He held up the gift box and said to everyone,"Everyone,I have got the contract for the development project in the South City.I decided to give this contract to my father as a gift for his 50th birthday."

In an instant,the whole audience applauded continuously and the crowd's praises were endless.

Charles took the gift box with satisfaction,but his face turned as dark as charcoal the moment he opened it.Steven was puzzled and was stunned when he saw it.

In the huge gift box was a resignation application from Judith.

How could this be?How could Judith leave him!
