Rhett Anderson was assigned a fraud case involving dozens of people. The strange thing was, every person involved claimed they'd acted of their own free will.
To be precise, there were no complainants in the case at all, because every report had been filed by the person's relatives or friends.
*
When Anderson first met Doreen Kirk, she was nothing like he'd imagined. In his mind, a woman who could make everyone lose their senses and leave no trace of her actions should be a cunning, beautiful, inscrutable master of deception.
But when he saw her in a faded, washed-out smock, smiling gently as she offered him a cup of coffee with an apologetic, helpless expression, Anderson knew he'd underestimated her.
*
Doreen's life had been full of hardship, but she'd also been very lucky.
Everyone she'd ever met had treated her with genuine sincerity, and each had been willing to give her everything they had.
She was grateful.
But then the police came knocking.
She didn't really understand. What had she done wrong?
Every one of them had insisted on giving her everything they had.
Including...
the man in uniform standing before her.

The Office Worker Goes Crazy After People Read Her Mind
Qiao Yinan's surname is Qiao, and her given name is Yinan. She's a timid, lowly, die-hard office worker. One day, she inexplicably discovers that other people can hear her thoughts.
Fortunately, although they can hear her, they can't tell whose thoughts they're hearing.
Even so, Qiao Yinan remains on edge every day.
Because although she seems like a model young woman on the outside, on the inside she's an out-and-out lunatic...
For example:
During rush hour, the roads are jammed with cars and the bus is packed with people. Some clueless passenger keeps crowding the driver and pestering him.
Qiao Yinan is still grumpy from waking up, clinging to the handrail as she's squeezed into a human pancake. In her head, she fumes: I'm going to slaughter all of you!
The people who hear her are so frightened they want to call the police. Qiao Yinan is so frightened she hides in a corner.
At a meeting, the manager says he has a small suggestion to make.
After hearing it, Qiao Yinan thinks: What the hell, that's so stupid. Even an elementary school kid wouldn't come up with such a dumbass suggestion.
The manager: !!!
The same thing happens when she meets Gu Wenle. He's a major client of their company, and a key account for Qiao Yinan. But as she watches Gu Wenle's smug, mahjong-tile face and sees him constantly calling people around, Qiao Yinan can't stop herself from cursing him out in her head.
Gu Wenle: ???
To protect her reputation and career, Qiao Yinan has to look around in surprise and panic every time there's an incident, as if she has no idea what's going on.
But someone still figures it out.
He pulls Qiao Yinan into his arms and listens to the torrent of thoughts in her head, which are like comments scrolling across a screen. A smile curls his lips. “This time, are you still going to deny it?”
Before Qiao Yinan can answer, Gu Wenle's expression twists. Gritting his teeth, he says, “What do you mean, mine is harder?!”

Lovers on Either Side
The day they met again, Qi Guangyu saw Cen Wen acting intimately with a man.
She'd changed a lot.
She'd gotten thinner, more confident, and even more beautiful.
Following his gaze, his friend exclaimed in surprise, “I can't believe there's another handsome guy who looks like you.”
Qi Guangyu considered this.
When they met for the second time, Cen Wen avoided his eyes.
Qi Guangyu pinned her against the wall and looked down at her, the corner of his mouth curling with a trace of scorn. “What's the point of playing with a substitute?”
**
Jiang Chuo of course knew what Cen Wen's hesitant, wavering glances at him every day meant.
But it didn't matter. He had plenty of patience, and he was more than willing to be understanding.
Theme: Stay true to yourself
In fact, in this article, I haven't written much about the heroine's psychology from beginning to end, so from a third-party perspective, the heroine's behavior may be deceptive. The male characters are all like that anyway, and they all have the attributes of Tianlong. Some people are superior and have to deceive themselves from their brains to their mouths. Don't be too careful, just see how the heroine plays with them [Okay]
I'm just chasing updates in such a dark way. Damn, please don't cheat me and just write whatever you want 🙏 😭
This Anderson is so annoying, like a fly, buzzing every day, so annoying
Wow, why did the updates stop?!!
Oh my god, it feels like the plot has reached a new climax today [Spread Flowers]
It's hard to break up the next two chapters, so I'll hold them together and post them together. I'll try to [complete them] before next Friday.
Okay, let's kill this second prince now. What's the point of playing with emotions? I want him to die.
He also pinched the heroine's baby's neck, right? He chopped off his hand [oh oh oh]
Don't wait, babies, I'll see if I can post it tomorrow. After changing it several times, it still feels weird. I have to adjust it again.
Come on, madam, I'm still opening Jinjiang just to read your articles 😭 [waving hands]
