Chapter 632 Night had settled in by the time Charlotte made her way back to the dorm, clutching the leave slip Anthony had written for her, officially signed off by Donald himself. “A leave pass signed by L in person?” Emma’s eyes nearly popped out of her head when she
Chapter 631 [Family Group Chat] Nine: [Can you get me more of the sleep meds? Make it double this time.] The first couple of days after she started taking them, she didn’t have full-blown insomnia, but her sleep was still a mess. Honestly, being around Anthony was the best cure
Chapter 630 Charlotte blinked, trying to look calm. “No idea who that is.” Parrish leaned his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful. “If they’re showing up with L, they’ve got to be a big deal. You don’t think it’s that unbeatable Reaver everyone talks about, do you?” “I don’t think
Chapter 629 Lottie wasn’t just anybody. With her background, it was hard not to worry. If Anthony ever messed around with her feelings, Donald would… “They know.” Anthony took the cigarette Donald handed him but didn’t bother to light it. He just held it between his fingers, lips still a
Chapter 628 “We’ll talk when you actually get him here.” Charlotte’s eyes landed on Anthony, who was watching her with a gentle smile. “And don’t pick on Anthony.” Donald had planned to pull Anthony aside for a serious talk as soon as Charlotte left, but after hearing her say that,
Chapter 627 Donald sat up straight, looking a little embarrassed. Whatever pain he’d felt a moment ago had vanished, replaced by a gentle warmth in his eyes as he looked at Charlotte. He opened his mouth to say something, but Charlotte’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen, raised
Chapter 626 Donald watched the two of them, close as ever, and couldn’t help frowning. Something heavy pressed on his chest, making it hard to breathe. The Gates family had gone through so much to find Charlotte, and now she was just going to get swept away like this? Did
Chapter 625 Samantha: [First time meeting her, so keep your temper in check. Take good care of Lottie and try to leave a good impression.] Donald just stared at his phone. That ship had already sailed. Any hope for a good impression was long gone. Roger: [Well? Isn’t Lottie gorgeous?
Chapter 624 Charlotte didn’t say a word. She just watched Donald, calm and steady, her eyes tracing the lines of his face. There was something rugged and worn about him, but his features were sharp, almost striking. Now that she looked closer, he really did resemble Roger and Kenneth. Funny
Chapter 623 Kevin sent a message. [He’s probably at the base. I’m trying to reach him now. ] Samantha chimed in. [He’s at his base. I even asked the guys there to take extra care of Lottie. Lottie?] Donald’s eyebrows drew together as he read that. He remembered chatting with
Chapter 622 The sudden turn of events hit Anthony so hard he could barely think straight. He stared at Donald, who was doubled over on the couch, clutching his chest where Anthony had kicked him. How was he supposed to explain that it was all just an accident? As Anthony
Chapter 621 L? Anthony stayed silent, his face dark as he stepped into the elevator. His eyes were so red it looked like they might start bleeding. He’d better not have done anything to Lottie. If he had… A minute later, they stepped out of the elevator together. As soon
Chapter 620 Donald barely had time to process what was happening before Charlotte made her move. In a split second, her speed and technique shot up to a whole new level. The way she moved was nothing like before. Donald tried to shield himself, arms up, but Charlotte’s push was
Chapter 619 “That was just an accident. Let’s do this for real now.” “Yeah? Are you sure?” Charlotte flashed a sly grin, letting it slide. “Better be ready this time.” The moment hung in the air before they dove right in, sparring in the tight space. Fists and feet flew,
Chapter 618 When Cotton spoke, Donald turned to Charlotte, studying her calm expression. His brow furrowed. Did she even realize how bold she sounded? Cotton was one of his own, a special forces soldier he’d trained from scratch. Maybe Cotton wasn’t the absolute best in The White Whale, but his
Chapter 617 Charlotte hadn’t really gone all out during the match, but anyone watching could tell she wasn’t just talented. She had some serious training behind her. When she heard what they said, Charlotte just smiled. If The White Whale hadn’t done so much good protecting the country, she would
Chapter 616 Charlotte didn’t say a word. Donald stayed quiet too. They stared each other down, not even blinking. The air felt icy, so thick with tension it was hard to breathe. Cotton, standing off to the side, could sense the sudden shift. He glanced up, first at Donald’s cold,
Chapter 615 “You’re just too nice, Janie,” Janie said, frowning. “These little training competitions don’t mean anything. I’m not wasting my time on her. But if she tries to mess with me again It would be nothing for her to get Charlotte kicked out of Cabinda. Olivia didn’t reply. A
Chapter 614 Charlotte made it to the finals, joining the top five winners to compete for the championship. No one was surprised by how things turned out. Charlotte dominated and took home the kickboxing trophy. During the final match, she matched her moves to her opponents, never going out of
Chapter 613 Saul froze for a second, surprised. “Donald, are you saying “Finally, someone with real skills. Ask her if she wants to join The White Whale.” “Yes, sir.” Saul couldn’t help but think back. Didn’t Donald just say they didn’t take women on the team? But Janie wasn’t about
