He also ‘thoughtfully’ checked out of the room.
My soul floated next door where the three of them were playing finger-guessing games and drinking.
Leila's face flushed, and she staggered into Rocky's arms. I could sense if Milford looked hurt when he saw this scene.
Leila saw it, and smiled, started pinching Milford's face with a smile as she said, “Milford, smile quickly, you're not handsome when you pout."
She pointed to the barbecue in front of her before saying, “Milford, I want to eat this, feed me."
Milford smiled instantly.
Rocky frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about as he immediately mentioned, “Deanne has calmed down now? She's not even making a fuss anymore.”
Milford snorted coldly, “It's already late, she must have gone to sleep.”
Rocky was a little unhappy again when he said, “But I just heard the door close next door. What does she mean? Going out to look for a man so late at night?”
Leila took Rocky's arm and rubbed it while saying in a lovely voice, “Brother, don’t say that. Deanne might be angry and leave.”
“Oh, she dares to leave?”
Leila pinched Rocky's wrinkled nose again. “Okay, Deanne may not be sensible, don’t be angry, it's not cool."
After that, she rubbed her eyes and yawned. “I'm so sleepy, can you please help me go to sleep? I'm scared to be alone.”
In order to take care of Leila, several people opened the Presidential Suite just to coax her to sleep.
Leila was lying on the bed, holding a doll in her arms, like a baby, mumbling from time to time.
Even though I had turned into a soul, I still felt sick watching this scene.
The two of them tiptoed, closed the door, and walked quietly into the living room.
Maybe he thought of something, Rocky glanced at his phone and stayed on the dialog box with me.
The last message was yesterday.
I asked him if he could accompany me to the scenic spot tomorrow to take some photos, so that I could explain to my parents.
This trip was actually our honeymoon.
Originally there were only two of us, but Leila insisted on pulling Milford along. She said she had never been abroad and wanted to broaden her horizons.
So, the team became three people walking in front, with Leila holding one on each side. I was left behind.
Not only that, she often provoked me when we were not together.
After she provoked me for the fifth time, I could not help it and pushed her.
She fell to the ground and cut her palm.
The two of them were furious and ordered me not to leave the hotel until the end of my trip. Otherwise, the investment in my family would be cut off immediately.
I sent this message just as our trip was about to end, but Rocky pursed his lips and moved his fingertips across the screen.
He sent only a few words, [Have you admitted your mistake?]
I feel like laughing. I was already dead, and he still asked me if I knew my mistake.
After all, who would reply to that message?
Rocky looked at his phone frequently.
Ten minutes passed and there was still no reply. He tugged at his collar in annoyance.
In the past, I would reply to his messages immediately.
I set a dedicated ringtone so I could be the first to see any messages he sent me in the middle of the night.
The next day, still no news.
Leila stuck to the two of them as soon as she got up.
She said she was going to eat something delicious that day and then go see the famous fountain.
“This is the perfect end to our trip. Even if you and Deanne get married, this will still be a wonderful memory for me."
Rocky was a little absent-minded.
When leaving, Rocky walked to my room and kicked the door.
“Deanne, you have to know when to stop being angry. If you apologize to Leila, I will let you go with us to take pictures.”
No one replied.
Milford patted his shoulder and said, “Rocky, what's the point of talking to a woman like this? She does not know what's good for her.
“Yesterday he made up a story to trick us, who knows what tricks she will have today?”
Rocky took a deep breath and could only say, “Okay, Deanne, you have guts.”
As soon as they turned around, they met the cleaning lady who came to clean the room.
The cleaning lady looked at the three people gathered at the door in surprise and asked, “Are you looking for a place to stay? This room has just been vacated. I'll move in after I finish cleaning it.
“That's weird. I have not even finished cleaning yet, why did the front desk check in the room?”
Rocky's face changed drastically and his hands were shaking as he asked, "What she said last night couldn't be true, right?"
Milford’s face also turned pale. The two of them pushed aside the cleaning lady and squeezed into the room.
“Deanne, Deanne!”
I followed them to see their faces after seeing the room was empty.
Indeed, there was nothing in it, not even single blood shattered.
The cleaning lady inserted the card, and with a click, the light flashed twice and turned on.
“What are you doing? The room is empty. They checked out last night.”
The two of them froze in place, like the Joker.
Rocky laughed angrily after hearing that and sneered, “Deanne really deserves to die. After all this, how dare she return home quietly?”
Leila was startled by the two of them and walked into the room. As soon as she came, she covered her nose in disgust and mocked, “Deanne is so worse. How can a girl's room be so smelly?”
She took Rocky's arm and grumbled, “How could Deanne lie like this? There was no blood on the ground. She was so outrageous that we were so worried.”
Rocky turned and walked out.
“Alright, she’s bold. Let’s see how long that lasts. Once I pull her family’s investment, she better not come crawling back in tears, begging for mercy.”
Maybe after I died, my soul’s emotions also faded. I did not feel anything when I heard this.
Well, let it be.
Anyway, my parents always thought I was useless and incompetent, especially after Leila came back.
My mother slapped me directly one day and yelled, “Deanne, what's the use of you? Even your man is being taken away.
“You must marry Rocky, or don’t come back to this house!”
Several people played happily for the whole day.
During this period, Rocky and Milford called me, but no one answered.
Rocky finally sent me a message. [Deanne, this is your last chance. If you don’t kneel down and apologize on the day we return home, I will cut off your family’s investment.]
He also kindly sent me the flight number. [Don’t be late, Milford will make a video of you apologizing. This is all your own fault.]
When getting off the plane, Rocky adjusted his tie proudly.
He held Leila with one hand.
Milford gave them a thumbs up as he praised, “A talented man and a beautiful woman, this pose is perfect for the photo.
“Don’t worry, Leila, I will take pictures of you like a fairy.”
Leila snorted, put her hands on her waist, and her face was puffed up when she stated, “I am indeed a fairy.”
They thought they would see me crying bitterly, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not see anyone.
Rocky took a breath, rubbed his nose hard, and said angrily, “Good, very good.”
He took out his cell phone, but the dialog box was still silent. When he called my phone again, it was still turned off.
Leila carefully pulled Rocky's sleeve and muttered slowly, “Rocky, I must have made Deanne angry. Maybe she won't come out if I'm still here. I'm leaving now.”
Rocky pulled Leila into his arms.
“This bitch Deanne really makes me furious.”
“Florine, cut off the Bryant Family's investment for me!”
In less than ten minutes, my mother called.
The voice was pleasing.
“Rocky, what happened? Why is the funding cut off? Did Deanne make you angry again?”
Rocky snorted coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, “I would like to ask how your Bryant Family educates your daughter. You are so audacious and arrogant. If you want to recover your funds, bring Deanne to me.”
The phone call was hung up.
My mother was shocked and called me frantically.
I sneered in my heart, how could I possibly get through?
My mother covered her chest and gasped.
“Deanne, this unfilial daughter. Is she going to destroy our Bryant Family?”
My father was furious when he found out, so he ordered people to dig three feet deep into the ground to find me.
He found the whip that had been hidden for a long time. It had tiny spikes on it.
When I was a child, he liked to use this whip to punish me when I was disobedient. He said it was the Bryant Family’s family rules.
But after I got engaged to Rocky, he never took it out again.
“Deanne is far too audacious! If we don’t put her in her place, she’ll never learn the difference between a pawn and a king.”
For a week, the Bryant Family searched all over City A but could not find any trace of me.
My parents started using a map to analyze where I would escape bit by bit.
My father asked, “You are a mother, you should be able to guess where she went and which place she likes, right? Let's focus on looking for her.”
My mother hesitated for a long time and could not say a place.
My father crumpled up the map and threw it in front of her angrily. “How can you call yourself a mother if you can’t even tell me what your own daughter likes?”
My mother got angry too, and she stood up and started punching my father. “What? Deanne is not only my daughter, but yours too. How dare you call yourself a father and still can’t tell me what she likes?”
The two of them started arguing.
I felt like laughing. Was not that funny?
They had been training me to be a tool for making money since I was young and had never treated me as their daughter.
Rocky also secretly sent people to look for him, but still there was no news.
He stood at the window, tugging at his tie irritably. “Deanne, if you have the guts, hide away for the rest of your life.
“If I find you, you're done.”
At this time, his mobile phone rang. It was his personal assistant.
Rocky's fingers trembled and he quickly picked up the phone.
“Mr. Wiggins, Ms. Bryant has not returned to the country at all!”
At this moment, the news was being broadcast on TV.
[A headless female corpse was found in a river in Country X. It is temporarily confirmed that she is a foreigner, but her specific identity is still being verified.]
Clang!
Rocky's mobile phone fell to the ground.
