Yuna followed him all the way, choosing to enter through a side door rather than the main entrance. She wore a curious expression. Although she had visited this museum twice before and was very familiar with the layout, today, something seemed different. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.They took the elevator to the third floor, and as she looked down beyond the railing, she saw the exhibited items covered with white cloth. The museum owner seemed to be just an ordinary businessman. She had no connections or dealings with this museum owner. Her intuition told her that it wasn't the museum owner seeking her out.Finally, the man opened a door, and Yuna looked inside. A tall woman was sitting arrogantly on a sofa, holding a long knife and wiping the blade with a white cloth. The blade reflected light so brightly that one could see their face in it.At just one glance, Yuna recognized her."You're Jade!"Jade smiled and said, "What an honor that Ms. Fe
Jade grinned widely and nodded. "If that's the case, I'll offer you some advice then," she said. "Yvan's business is going well in Jefton State. Just recently, he was revealed to be the president of the Longman Group. This would only raise his status in Jefton State and overseas. "You probably aren't happy seeing how well he's doing in his life, aren't you? After all, you're raising both of your kids on your own now. "You even have to work hard to support your family. Even an unmarried woman like me would think this situation is unpleasant. That's why our plan is to bring the Longman Group down and then destroy his company. "Lastly, we'll capture him and torture him to our heart's content. We'll make him lose his family and be hated by society," Jade explained excitedly. "Ms. Feron, what do you think about my plan?" she asked. Yuna was taken aback upon hearing the plan. She never thought Jade would be so ruthless. Instead of answering, she changed the subject. "You mentio
Yuna picked up the pen at the side. She was about to sign the document. But from the corner of her eyes, she could see Jade staring at her intently. Judging from the eager look on Jade's face, Yuna sensed that there must be some sort of trap in this document. Suddenly, she placed the pen down. She didn't sign the document. "Ms. Feron, what are you doing? Is there anything else that you're unhappy with?" Frowning, Jade asked. It was obvious that her patience had reached its limit. "Your plan is to make Yvan go broke. But, even if he really is left with nothing, he might still be alive. By then, you guys would've left already. He'd still be able to look for me or even hurt me. Who should I go to when that happens?" Yuna fired. Then, she chuckled and said, "You guys have indeed planned it well. Are you going to leave me in all this mess?" Jade clearly didn't expect Yuna to be able to bring up that point. Even she hadn't thought about it. Smiling, she said, "Yvan would be a
"I'll explain after we get out." Yvan had hurried over as soon as he heard the news. He was worried that something would happen to Yuna. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt. He had a deadly look in his eyes. "Catch them," he ordered the men behind him. Then, he looked up, and his eyes met Jade's. "Surra, find a safe place to hide. I'll go catch those people." "But you're still injured, Mr. Morgan," Yuna protested, but he was already gone. Yuna couldn't move an inch. A bodyguard stood in front of her to protect her. She could only watch as "Stanley's" men fought their enemies. In the end, the enemies were all beaten up and sprawled on the ground. She heaved a sigh of relief. She said to Terry, "Mr. Terry, please go upstairs. We don't know if anyone is in danger up there." "Okay, I'll head up there now." Even so, Yuna was still worried. She decided to follow him. The bodyguard stuck by her side. "Ms. Surra, it's safer for you to stay here. If it's dangerous up there, no one c
Yuna frowned a little. She was standing behind the bodyguards, being protected by them. Jade instantly charged forward. The bodyguards surrounded her, but she confronted them without a hint of panic. She was taking on seven to eight men all by herself. Right then, Yvan suddenly appeared. He was already holding a bat. Without hesitation, he swung it right toward Jade. Jade was agile enough to dodge it. But Yvan took the chance to attack her again. The hit landed on Jade's knee. She was in so much pain that her face contorted, and she fell to her knees. Yvan then snatched the machete away from her. Seeing that, Yuna heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Jade was finally being held down. The bodyguards made quick work of capturing her. Yuna stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Morgan, you didn't get hurt, did you?" "I'm fine." Yvan handed the machete to Jerry. "We shouldn't stay in this place for long. Let's go." Slightly embarrassed, Yuna said, "Sorry, Mr. Morgan. I'm afrai
After changing locations, Jade was tied against a chair. Everything on her was taken away as well. She could only watch as her items were placed on the table. Her gaze landed on Yuna and Cedric. She chuckled calmly. "There's actually no need to make such a scene. I admit that I was being too much just now. But I don't really want to hurt you, Ms. Feron. Do you really not want to work with us?" Yuna watched her coldly. No matter how good Jade made everything sound, the expression on Yuna's face didn't change. "If I really want to work with you, why would I delay signing the document?" Jade had nothing to say to that. Her eyes flashed murderously for a second. She tried to come up with something to get out of this situation. It seemed Cedric could guess what she was thinking and said, "Are you thinking of asking your team in Hultic to come and save you? I'm afraid that would take quite some time. I don't know what we'd do to you during this time as well." Jade's face turned a
Yvan was back at his place. Terry then gave him the document that was inside the room. "Sir, this is probably the document that Jade wanted Ms. Feron to sign. Judging from the content …" Terry was hesitant to speak. He looked troubled. Yvan looked away casually. He then read what was in the document. Gradually, his face darkened. "Can't believe how impatient they're getting," he said with a hint of menace in his tone. Terry took the chance to say, "Sir, I can tell that Ms. Feron didn't intend to sign the document at all. She won't do such a thing to you." That was what Yvan wanted to hear. "You can leave first." Yvan stared at the document. Then, he called Gabriel. …When Carl arrived, Cedric stopped interrogating her for a while. The three of them sat in the next room to discuss the situation. Curious, Yuna asked, "Cedric, did you get anything out of her?" Cedric said, "Jade admitted that coming here to do business was just an act. Her real intention was to se
Yuna wasn't bothered by Jade's mockery at all. She said, "You're in our hands now. Do you think your boss would save you or get rid of you when he finds out?" Hearing that, Jade scrunched up her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?" "Actually, I don't have to sit here and talk to you. They have ways to force you to speak. It's just a matter of time before you confess. "A flight from Hultic to Waleston would take at least seven or eight hours. Besides, your team is unfamiliar with the place and people in Phoenix City. It'll take some time for them to find you. "Provided that they'd be able to land smoothly, that is. As you know, our men are all over Phoenix City. What do you think will happen to you in these few days, then? "Before they could find you, perhaps your boss had already heard about your forced confession. Even if we set you free by then, do you think there's any use for your boss to keep you alive? "If it was me, I'd definitely get rid of you. After all, you sp
