I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
Logan Redford stood with his arms crossed, gazing out the window.
His back, outlined against the gloomy gray sky, looked somehow lonely.
Impossible. That arrogant Logan wouldn’t care a whit about Walter’s words.
Sydney took a deep breath and continued.
“Then this ring box…”
“I’ll search every corner of Marcel’s jewelry shop.”
A volunteer stepped forward before she’d even finished speaking. She handed him the ring box and spoke again.
“There’s a strong chance the ring itself was the motive. Evidence suggests Marien had been wearing it until very recently—her finger still bore the mark at the time of her death.”
“I’ll also find out which customer purchased the ring and gave it to Marien.”
“Once you locate the jewelry shop… check whether the rings they sell have been circulating as stolen goods.”
“You mean we should also consider the possibility that a robber, aiming only for valuables, ended up killing her by chance?”
After a year of working together, the guards had grown adept at reading her thoughts.
A satisfied smile played at the corners of Sydney’s lips as she looked around at the guards filling the conference room.
Recalling Logan’s words, she spoke again.
“For now, we must keep all possibilities open.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
