The next day, right on schedule, Axel arrived at the bar, eagerly searching for Daisy. He believed that this time, Daisy would surrender. However, the most unexpected thing happened—Daisy was nowhere to be found within his sight. Axel frantically scanned the bar, searching every corner, but Daisy was nowhere to be seen.Axel approached the manager, seeking answers. He was informed that Daisy had abruptly quit her job at the bar the day before. As Axel absorbed this information, he silently deduced that Daisy had taken this action to avoid him. Anger welled up inside him, unable to accept Daisy's actions. Determined to find her, Axel made his way towards the exit, but before he could step outside, a former colleague of Daisy's chased after him, calling out his name."Axel, please wait a moment."Hearing the call, Axel paused, turning to look back. Standing in front of him was a young woman."Why did you call me? What's the matter?" Axel furrowed his brow, questioning her.The woman hes
At the same time, Daisy was surrounded by a gang of thugs, while Axel observed the entire situation. Axel couldn't contain the guilt and anguish he felt, witnessing Daisy being threatened to the point of terror. An involuntary sigh escaped his chest. John noticed this and couldn't suppress his concern, turning to ask Axel."Axel, are you sure that what you're doing is right and necessary? I find it really awful."To be honest, after learning about Axel's plan, John didn't agree. According to John's assessment, Axel's actions were bad. Up until this moment, as the plan was being carried out and everything was going as Axel intended, John still wanted to object to Axel.Axel turned to face John, his eyes filled with determination. "I know we're playing a dangerous game, John," Axel said thoughtfully. "But we have no choice. We have to do this to get Daisy to agree to sign the agreement. I need to ensure that I win this bet.""Do you feel unfair to Daisy?" John asked further. "Don't forg
Lisa's voice was interrupted by a brief pause before she continued with determination, still waiting for the man's response."Hey, can you hear what I'm saying? If you don't want to pass on the message, then give the phone to Daisy so I can talk to her.""Hey, who's fooling around here? If you don't bring the money here, I'll kill your Older sister. And then, it'll be your turn," the enraged man shouted, his voice sharp and threatening, causing Lisa to startle momentarily."Don't lie to me anymore. Who would believe you?" Lisa stubbornly refused to believe and even doubted Daisy: "Tell me the truth. Did Daisy pay you guys to stage this drama? Does she want to end her financial support for me?""What nonsense are you talking about?" the thug asked, confused by Lisa's line of reasoning."Don't pretend anymore," Lisa shouted, "In short, I don't believe Daisy has been kidnapped." Lisa firmly declared, "Tell Daisy that if she's using this tactic to deceive me, she has failed. Escaping from
"I want you to release me right now," Lisa said impatiently, making her request clear. "Both of you should know that Daisy and I have no relationship whatsoever.""Don't spout nonsense like that; don't try to avoid responsibility," the guy responded, displaying his disbelief. "Now, either you pay up or I'll kill your Older sister. Choose, if you...""What I'm saying is true. Please believe me," Lisa interrupted firmly. "We have no blood relations, so I have no reason to pay to save her. It doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not crazy either. If Daisy has done something wrong, punish her, but don't involve an innocent person like me.""I ask you, you keep insisting that there's no blood relation between you two, so why would Daisy have to pay for your unreasonable demands? Just out of her kindness? That's hard to believe. No one in this world is willing to unconditionally sacrifice for someone else. Are you trying to deceive me? It's not that easy."To make her reasoning more persuasiv
"Daisy, do you need anything?" Axel suddenly broke the tense silence and was ready to help Daisy.Daisy's eyes softened as she looked at him, grateful for his enthusiastic support. With a hint of hesitation, Daisy finally shook her head and replied, "No, I don't need anything.""Are you thirsty or hungry?" Axel continued, confident that Daisy must be feeling hungry."I'm not...""Don't lie," Axel interjected sternly. "Speak up if you need something. In this situation, you're not a burden."Daisy pursed her lips, about to say something, but then stopped. Seeing this, Axel's patience dwindled, and he scolded her."If you think you can do everything on your own with a frail body like this, then get out of bed immediately and prove it to me," Axel challenged with a raised voice, determined to defeat Daisy's pride."I..." Daisy looked at Axel, her words faltering."What are you waiting for? Show that you're strong and that you don't need anyone's help, including mine." Axel continued to pr
While Daisy enjoyed her meal, Axel took the opportunity to quickly glance through the report sent to his email on his mobile phone. His eyes skimmed over the numbers and important information, but in the midst of his concentration, Daisy's voice called out."Axel." After she finished eating, Daisy gathered up the courage to talk to him. It was time for her to discuss her decision.Axel tore his gaze away from his phone and looked straight at Daisy. "What's the matter?""Is your previous offer still valid?" Daisy asked seriously, swallowing her anxiety and waiting for Axel's response."Lucky for you, tomorrow is the deadline for that bet." Axel replied after a brief moment of silence. Axel didn't seem surprised by Daisy's change. It was likely that he had anticipated this."If I agree to your request, can you fulfill some of my demands?" Daisy straightforwardly asked, sensing a serious gaze from Axel."We will establish a contract. If your demands are reasonable, I will comply." Axel s
The dazzling lights of the wine bar illuminated the space, creating a warm and surreal atmosphere. Axel's group of friends had gathered here as a familiar scene in their lives. Rosa, Zane, Dion, and Tom sat around a table, chatting with excitement and anticipation. In the lively ambiance, Dion couldn't contain his emotions any longer."Tomorrow is the deadline for the bet between Axel and Rosa. Axel's struggle and his challenge are finally coming to an end. I can't believe it's time for us to decide who the winner is. Time really flies."Tom nodded, his eyes shining with interest."That's right! Axel has worked hard to achieve his goal. I hope he overcomes this challenge."Hearing Tom's support for Axel, Rosa felt unhappy deep down. A frown unconsciously appeared on her face, revealing her resentment. Rosa fervently hoped that Axel would lose."It's also possible that Axel will lose," Rosa said, her tone confident. "With what Axel has done, the results can easily be seen."Tom observe
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses to celebrate Axel's victory," Tom said, breaking the tense atmosphere. He excitedly initiated it and raised his glass first."Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your congratulations," Axel happily replied, clinking glasses with Tom."Congratulations, Axel," Dion chimed in, not wanting to miss out on the memorable moment and deciding to participate."Thank you." Axel turned to Dion and smiled lightly.Seeing everyone looking at him, Zane reluctantly joined in, not wanting to be seen as having personal animosity towards Axel."Drink the glass!" Dion exclaimed cheerfully."I won't acknowledge this victory until I confirm it for myself," Rosa interjected, angrily declaring her stance.Faced with Rosa's opposition, the congratulations were put on hold. All eyes turned towards Rosa."Axel, let me tell you, no matter what tricks you're playing, I will expose your deceit," Rosa revealed, arrogant in her words."Do whatever you like. In any case, the
