Chapter 8
In the eyes of some prominent families, Fieldkeep was indeed considered an obsession.
However, there are hardly any who can truly move from a local place to Fieldkeep and establish a
firm foothold.
Because every circle was exclusive.
Especially Fieldkeep, enjoying the most prestigious resources, naturally did not want to be touched- by others.
But almost every year, there were people from Fieldkeep who used entering Fieldkeep as bait to go
fishing.
Just like Corbin, he used to pursue Serena.
Looking back, Serena was the richest person in Castlepond now, but that was just a facade. The money earned by the Lynch family, in fact, mostly went to support Corbin.
I have also done the same thing.
I also said these words to Alden on the way to the hotel.
He listened attentively but remained silent.
When we arrived at the hotel, I lay in his arms and said, “Shirley, you suddenly seem like someone
I’ve never known before. In the past, you were like a girl who never grew up, but now you appear so
knowledgeable. Which one is the real you?”
“It was all me.”
“With you, I was the purest.”
“As for what you said about being knowledgeable, it is actually a way of living, instilled in me since
childhood.”
“If you were interested, after we got married, we would go back to our old house to live, and you
would naturally know.”
I said with a smile.
Alden nodded and then shook his head, saying, “I’m not interested at all. The reason I work so hard
⚫ is because the Willis family didn’t shoulder the responsibility. Now that you have this backing, why
should I still strive?”
He was right.
With me, he doesn’t need to struggle anymore.
1/4
After it got dark, Corbin sent someone to pick us up.
We drove to the outskirts and there was a dog field, which belonged to Serena.
The so–called dog field is actually a dog fighting arena.
There was a reason for coming here.
It was Serena, Raul, and Chloe who went crazy and actually wanted to capture me, to threaten the
Cannon family for their own benefit.
However, when Serena sent someone to capture me, I had already been captured by Corbin’s men
and brought here.
sat in the stands, and in front of me was the dogfighting arena.
Serena was left inside, covered in blood, with a dog tied to a rope in front of her.
And by my side, there was the trembling Raul Chloe.
I really didn’t expect that the two of them would be so foolish as to try to kidnap me.
Alden was so angry that he trembled, gritting his teeth and saying, “What on earth were you thinking? Even if we were to tie up Shirley now and let you into Fieldkeep, you think we won’t deal with you later?”
“What are you afraid of?”
“By that time, everything had already been settled. Our family, the Willis family, had already moved into Fieldkeep, and you were the son–in–law of the Cannon family. The Cannon family really knew how to give us a hard time, didn’t they?”
Raul gritted his teeth.
Alden was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
I patted his hand, comforting him, and then said to Raul, “You may not know how the top circles play. If you really threaten my life, then my parents will no longer worry about who I like. They will go straight past me and make the Willis family disappear completely, including Alden.”
This may sound harsh, but it is the truth.
My parents wouldn’t even let Alden live, as they would worry that Alden would seek revenge. This is ¡ a hidden danger.
“I know I was wrong, give me a chance…”
erena shouted with her neck stretched, but the dog’s leash had already broken, and her voice abruptly stopped.

- 1.
I didn’t let Alden continue watching this bloody scene and got up to leave.
Raul and Chloe also wanted to leave, but I stopped them.
I looked at them and said, “You guys watch carefully and then write a ten–thousand–word
reflection for me. If it’s not profound enough, keep watching, anyway, there are still many people
from the Lynch family.”
