Mr. Lucas turned around and immediately shoved Jane away. She opened her eyes and blinked. "Mr. Lucas? Why… did you bring me here, sir?"They were now in a room that was set up very similarly to the previous one.Who was she? Just an ex-convict who wanted to stay out of as much trouble as possible. Jane instinctively wanted to evade anyone or anything that made her uneasy… She did not have anything worthy to offer, or rather, she did not have anything she could afford to lose anymore. Out
"Have you gone mad?!""Go away, go away, aaaaaah! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm really sorry, it was all my fault my fault my fault all my fault all my fault all my fault…"Mr. Lucas had never been treated like this before. The switch was right next to him on the wall, and he reached out to flip it with a click. Light flooded the entire room. He was even more frustrated now. Trapping both of Jane's arms with one hand, he freed his other hand to grab Jane's chin. "Hey, are you done throwing a tantr
"...""She loved me, a love that was etched into her bones. That's why she died a tragic death." Jane froze on the spot, looking at Mr. Lucas. His voice was perfectly calm, as though he was telling someone else's story. However, Jane could clearly hear that heart-wrenching pain in his calm and emotionless voice. She did not know what to say. She just instinctively felt that this man was a little pitiful right now, so she reached out her hand without thinking. Awkwardly and clumsily, Jane gav
Zach was evidently a decent fighter himself.He dodged and perfectly evaded Sean’s fist.After that single punch, Sean and Zach both jumped apart, staring each other down.Sean’s expression was completely cold, and his eyes gleamed dangerously. Of course, he could tell that Zach was not serious about fighting him, or else he would not have dodged that punch… Zach Lucas was not the type to back away from a fight. Instead, he would try to catch the hit instead of dodging it.Those were two vas
Her eyes were sunken, her face was pale, her lips were chapped… What happened to the Jane Dunn who bloomed as proudly as a rose? Where did she go?He looked at the woman on the bed… What a pitiful thing. That was all he thought.How could he possibly have fallen for such a lowly, pathetic, pitiful thing?He was Sean Stewart. How could he possibly fall for such a woman?His lips curved into a slight jeer. That thought had barely settled in his heart before he ignored it completely.He did no
‘You sure have guts to ask, Elior!’Ray, who was always a bit of a troublemaker himself, could not help a shudder this time as he looked at Elior.“Cough cough! Uh, Elior, it seems to me like our business is more or less done here. I’m getting hungry, so let’s go eat.”‘Come on, come on, man. Let’s get away before Sean Stewart flips out…’ Ray thought to himself urgently.Seriously, though, Elior knew all about the history between Sean Stewart and Jane Dunn, right?Jane killed Rosaline. Altho
“I’ll take it!”Of course, there was no way that the two young masters would actually end up eating at a food stall.…East Emperor, 28th floorSean Stewart stood beside the bed, looking at the woman sleeping on it through narrowed eyes… Her secret?This woman’s secret… What could it be?Why did Elior know it while he did not?He picked up his phone and called his subordinate.“Boss,” said Uno respectfully through the phone.“Help me…”Sean had barely spoken when—“Luka, don’t go…”
Thunk!That was the sound of her knees hitting the ground!“Mr. Stewart, I’ll definitely put five million and not a penny less into that card. I promise I’ll work my hardest, so please believe me. Give me some more time.”Five million was just a bar he put there to torment her. It was his way of humiliating her and taking revenge on her… If obeying would make him feel slightly better, if it could ease his anger, then she was willing to do anything at all.Her freedom cost five million bucks,
