The always strong-willed Lily Snow had tears in her eyes as she nodded at him.
"It’s okay, I always knew you were a slow talker.
You can’t speak sweet words, it’s okay, I will, and I’ll speak them for you.
You don’t say ’I love you’ every day, it’s okay. I will, and I’ll let you hear my heart every day.
You’re busy and don’t have ti to take care of , it’s okay. I’ll take good care of myself.
Although I don’t understand business matters, I’ll try my best to be the best Mrs. Turner and won’t embarrass you.
The best thing I can do for you is to be obedient and not cause trouble."
Jane Quinlan sat on the side, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion.
At this mont, Lily was truly emotional, which filled today’s simple engagent ceremony with feelings.
Faye Townsend leaned into Hunter Warren’s shoulder.
Back then, her engagent party was also simple, without these grand vows.
But thinking about it now, she still felt happy.
Because she could still rember the love she had for Hunter back then.
What she envied most now was that carefree heart she had many, many years ago.
The engagent ceremony went off relatively smoothly.
Afterwards, Oliver Turner and Lily Snow sent off their friends and family and took the three couples to the Turner Family’s clubhouse.
Clara looked around at the seven people in the room and laughed: "Eight people, four couples."
"This proves that we’ve all found happiness, that’s great," Lily said with a bit of excitent.
Kay Forrest chuckled beside her: "I thought you’d say it was just right for two tables of mahjong."
Lily stomped her foot: "Kay Forrest, why do you always underestimate people?
I, Lily Snow, have never played mahjong before."
Kay looked at Oliver and said, "Your fiancée used to play mahjong on the iPad with Jane Quinlan at my house while freeloading food and drinks.
Her hand movents were so skillful... tsk, I thought she was the reincarnation of a gambling god."
Kay’s words finished, and Faye couldn’t help but laugh.
Lily frowned: "Faye, do you believe Kay’s words? I never did anything like that."
Oliver naturally placed his hand on Lily’s shoulder: "Oh, my fiancée is a gambling pro, huh? Not bad, I really didn’t see that before."
"Oh, I’m really not."
"Even if you are, it’s no big deal. Do what you like.
Even if you went out to gamble, I could still afford you."
Oliver finished speaking and looked up at Kay, clearly indicating that he would protect his wife.
Seeing Oliver’s expression, Kay nodded with a smile and gave a thumbs-up. "Nice work."
Lily also felt a little smug and turned to look smugly at Kay, feeling overjoyed to have soone back her up.
Jane pursed her lips and said to Kay: "Actually, playing mahjong on the phone is quite fun. If you want to learn, I can teach you soti."
"You like it too?"
"Well... it’s okay."
"Then you should play with Lily and win all of the Turner’s money into my pocket."
Kay said with a mischievous grin.
Jane was speechless, but fortunately knew it was a joke. Otherwise, others might think he was greedy.
The eight people chatted in the room all afternoon and went ho after dinner.
Jane went straight to her room upon entering the house: "Oh, I need to sleep. I can’t keep my eyes open."
Nowadays, if she didn’t take a nap in the afternoon, she always felt like sothing was missing.
Kay accompanied her to bed, and she hugged him to sleep while he watched stocks on his iPad.
Around ten o’clock, Kay didn’t bother to take a shower and snuggled into bed with her to sleep.
At around one in the morning, Jane’s phone buzzed and rang.
She groggily opened her eyes and picked up the phone.
Seeing that it was a text ssage, she casually swiped the phone open, only to find that it was a short video.
The video’s contents startled her, and she let out a scream, throwing the phone away.
Her scream woke Kay, who sat up abruptly and held the trembling Jane tightly.
"What’s wrong?"
"Quick, turn on the light."
Kay turned on the lights, and Jane pointed at her phone: "Soone sent a video."
Kay got out of bed feeling puzzled and picked up Jane’s discarded phone.
He swiped the screen open and looked at it, and he imdiately beca enraged.
It was a curse video, featuring a blood-covered, kimono-clad, chubby porcelain doll from Japan.
He turned up the volu, and the video sent an eerie, scary laugh.
"A life for a life, it’s only right, you must die."
Jane’s shoulders trembled continuously as she hadn’t cald down.
Kay forwarded the video to his phone, then deleted it from hers.
He ca forward to embrace Jane, gently stroking her head.
"Don’t be scared; it’s okay."
Jane’s heart was still trembling: "Kay, what is this all about.
Who on earth would hold such a grudge against ?
Headless dolls and cursed porcelain dolls.
What kind of hatred could drive soone to do this?"
Kay’s expression turned icy cold.
Evie Larkin, or soone else.
If it were really Evie Larkin, it would be much easier to handle.
But if it’s soone else... the other party is in the dark, while he and Jane are in the open, it’s really tricky.
"Delete that video from your mind.
I’ll investigate this."
"It must be difficult; phone numbers can be obtained with money."
"Don’t worry. Leave it to ."
Jane hugged him tightly. She knew this wasn’t a simple prank.
But... "Kay, what does ’a life for a life, it’s only right’ an?
I haven’t killed anyone, so why curse like this?"
Kay was also puzzled, convinced there was sothing wrong with this statent.
Killing, even if she could, he wouldn’t believe it.
Jane felt really unlucky.
During the New Year, always being cursed like this, it truly felt unpleasant.
The next day was a Sunday, and Kay didn’t let Jane go to work, telling her to rest at ho.
He went to the office alone to prevent her from feeling scared at ho alone.
Kay even called Little Flower to keep Jane company.
Besides that, he arranged for bodyguards at the door to protect Jane’s safety.
Little Flower pressed the doorbell, and Jane, already in the house, felt a pang of fear.
She walked to the door and cautiously asked, "Who is it?"
Little Flower replied: "Jane, it’s , open the door."
Jane opened the door, and when she saw Little Flower, she was pleasantly surprised as she had been feeling frightened: "Why are you here? Just in ti."
"Director Forrest told about last night’s situation, and he was afraid you’d be scared alone, so he called to accompany you. How are you doing?"
Jane shook her head: "Oh my God, don’t even ntion it.
During the New Year, I’m feeling so blocked inside, totally not feeling great.
Who the hell did I offend?"
Little Flower spread her hands: "Show the video."
Jane handed her the phone: "It’s in the text ssages, turn it off after watching, I can’t handle it, last night when I suddenly saw it, it scared half to death."
Little Flower nodded and opened the text, as she glanced at it, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Though watching it during the day, the images weren’t terrifying,
They were indeed very disgusting.
"This person must be a total psycho, otherwise, how could they co up with such a thing?
Totally bizarre and superstitious.
After noticing Little Flower still watching, Jane waved her hand: "Oh, stop watching. Just hearing the sound gives the creeps, and the scene keeps repeating."
Little Flower frowned: "I just want to see how twisted this person can be."
She muted the sound, "Actually, you needn’t worry too much. Director Forrest is capable of protecting you.
He has deployed bodyguards downstairs for you.
But rember, never act alone.
Who knows what else this psycho might do?"
"I’ve always considered myself to be kind and considerate.
Never thought anyone would want to hurt this much."
"That’s why I say this person is a psycho. Psychos do these things without needing a reason, alright?
Besides, this person clearly isn’t very capable.
If they were capable, they wouldn’t need to use this thod against you.
And honestly, who knows whether their target is really you or Director Forrest."
As Little Flower was speaking, she suddenly exclaid, Jane asked: "What’s wrong?"
She looked at Jane: "I ask you, did you finish watching this video?"
"I saw it looping so I didn’t finish, why? Is the later content different?"
"Co over here; I’ve found sothing strange."
