Marvin's pleading had no effect. Gunnar didn't want to negotiate with Chandler at this critical moment.He ordered, "Bring me Dana."As soon as his words fell, Marvin shut up completely. He knew that Dana was going to be taken away, and there was no turning back. With the two armories he managed already compromised, he could only give up on Dana. She was just a woman who had been in prison, so it wasn't worth sacrificing himself for her.Dana had planned to escape when she realized that things weren't progressing in the right way. Unfortunately for her, she was brought back. When she stood before Chandler and the others with her arms behind her back, her eyes were filled with hatred."Take them and leave! If I don't get the antidote for Luna after ten hours, I swear I'll hunt you down personally and make you pay!"Facing Gunnar's threatening words, Chandler's expression remained unfazed. He glanced at Luna and said, "Don't blame me for poisoning you. Blame yourself for getting inv
"You useless bastard! Shut your mouth!" Alana was so angry that her fingers trembled, and she viciously kicked the driver's head, leaving a bloody gash on his face with her high heels.The driver's confession made Dana's heart sink. This meant it truly might not be Erin who was behind her assault after all."Your driver has confessed! What else do you have to say? I can't believe I was so easily manipulated by you." Dana's face turned red with anger. If it weren't for that phone call, she wouldn't have been so infuriated and kidnapped Erin in a reckless attempt for revenge. In her fury, she joined forces with Marvin and became involved in human trafficking.One wrong step led to another. Now, she was at Chandler's mercy and had no choice but to cooperate with them in luring Alana to confess. If it weren't for her elderly grandfather back in her hometown, she wouldn't have agreed to do this at all!Chandler had shown the utmost sincerity and promised to help her find the culprit w
As Chandler watched the man and woman in the video, his heart clenched violently. He forced himself to stay calm. With great endurance, he watched the video which was three minutes long. His defined and perfect features appeared frosty; his eyes were unfathomable and cold.Standing beside him, Erin was so nervous that she held her breath unconsciously. She feared Chandler wouldn't believe her. Even though she was momentarily stunned when the video started, when the "Erin" in the video began to speak, she quickly realized it wasn't her! Moreover, she was sure she'd never filmed such a video.She had no idea who the woman in the video was. Instinctively, she thought of Yvette for a moment. Then again, she couldn't figure out what the truth was. She wondered who the hell made this malicious and incriminating video."Chandler—" Erin looked at Chandler, who had already put away his phone. She felt anxious seeing the complex emotions in his eyes.Was he doubting her?Chandler kept his g
Caleb and Irene returned to the city two days later.Gunnar was so busy dealing with the armory that he had no time to care about Marvin's human trafficking issue. So, all the people on the fishing boat with Caleb and Irene were then rescued by the coast guards.After they returned, they were admitted to Alan's hospital.Irene was not in a good mental state during the first comprehensive checkup. It was her first time being abducted, so it was inevitable that she was still traumatized.Caleb fractured his arm when he fought with the abductor to protect his wife. When Erin went to visit them, Irene was taken by her brother, Alan, to see a psychiatrist. At that moment, Caleb was the only one in the ward.Caleb was scrolling through Twitter when Erin walked through the door. As soon as he saw her, he asked urgently, "Erin, are you and my cousin divorced?"Erin closed the door, holding the food she'd brought for them. Her bodyguards, the Lehman sisters, disguised themselves as fr
Ian and Yvette were the known enemies so far. They were the obvious suspects, so once Chandler and Erin found evidence, they could start to take action.As for Steven's case, someone successfully became a scapegoat in the end, just like Noah expected. There was even hard evidence for it too.Tracy had bumped into a former lover on the night she got drunk. The man bribed a server to spike her drink, and on top of that, Whitney had somebody put a sleeping pill in Tracy's drink on Noah's orders as well. As a result, Tracy was unconscious for the whole night.When Steven killed Tracy in a fit of rage, she looked like she was sleeping, but she was actually unconscious. But when the coroner examined Tracy's body, he only examined the fatal stab wounds and did not test for drugs in Tracy's blood. By the time Simon raised an objection, Tracy's body had long been cremated in her hometown.The scapegoat was given a sentence by the court, but it was still a fact that Steven had killed someone
Noah's words surprised Erin, so much so that she did not even know what to think for a moment. What Noah meant clearly just eliminated himself as a suspect.Did he truly have nothing to do with the Wood sisters' case?Chandler told Erin before that Noah had no motive.After Erin heard him apologizing and saw him spending money to make it up to her because the Wood sisters had wrongfully accused her, she was even more confused about Noah's character.Even if this had nothing to do with him, the way he ingratiated himself with her seemed a little too much. Erin had no choice but to first play along and brush him off. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "Noah, since it was done by your subordinate, it has nothing to do with you, so there's no need for you to dwell on it. Even if you really wanted to apologize, you should be apologizing to Alana and Angela. They are the true victims.""Erin, I felt guilty, and I just kept feeling that I owe you something …" He still looked very
Louis was slightly taken aback by Erin's bluntness. He was a little upset that she detested the idea of Gavin learning gambling skills from him so much."Erin, why do you have such a strong reaction? Did I commit a heinous crime?" His voice was a little cold and arrogant, which left Erin at a loss for words for a moment.Louis said seriously, "Aunder is a gambling city, but it's run legally. I saw that Gavin was quite talented and eager to learn. He even didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights just begging me to teach him. I only agreed out of respect for you, yet you disagree now. This makes me feel like a jerk who has done a horrible thing.""It's not like that, Louis. You might have misunderstood me. I only hope that Gave could have better values in life. He's a little too eager to have instant success with the mindset of getting rich overnight." Erin was worried that Gavin would be easily manipulated with that mindset of his. People who got tricked were always the on
At 10 pm, the "divorced" Erin stayed at the small villa Chandler had bought back then. Of course, this was a "property she got from the divorce" and people would not suspect a thing.Right after Erin walked out of the bathroom, a man covered her mouth from behind. He was in black clothes and had a wolf plastic mask on his head, which looked terrifying.At first, Erin was so frightened that she wanted to scream. However, she caught a whiff of a familiar scent of cigarettes and cologne coming from the man. Erin then mischievously stomped on the man's shoes with all her might, but since she was barefooted, it did not hurt him too much.The man immediately let her go, taking off the mask in a hurry. With a slight frown on his face, he said, "Erin, you knew it was me, yet you still stomped on my foot."She turned around, saying, "Hmph! You deserved it for scaring me."Chandler tossed the mask toward the vanity and took off his thick jacket, revealing a tight black T-shirt underneath. T
