Chapter 74Ron spoke gently and explained everything that had happened to me. I never expected Enzo's actions to be so horrifying and shocking."Because all of this has no clear evidence since Enzo was just the mastermind behind it all, he didn't directly carry out those acts. With the power in Enzo's hands, my family knows what he did but... I and my family couldn't do anything about him," Ron sighed."Why are you telling me now? If you had told me earlier, then..." I said, thinking that if Ron hadn't kept this secret, maybe I could have done something to help.Ron heard me and chuckled dismissively, shaking his head. "I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want you to continue suffering like you did six years ago.""But..." I wanted to say more, but Ron quickly interrupted, "In the time to come, I can be with you to take care of you and Rollo. If there's any problem, just call me. Even though I'm not here, my subordinates are still working here. They can assist you."The conversation b
Chapter 75Taylor worked very productively and swiftly, and most importantly, she did it secretly for me without reporting to Enzo. Taylor handed me a medical checkup report from the hospital and said, "Here's the hospital checkup report. Min has no health issues whatsoever; she's perfectly healthy."I took the checkup paper and carefully read it, fearing that I might overlook even the slightest detail. After confirming that all of Min's health indicators were normal, I finally felt relieved. Enzo's words had made me constantly anxious about my daughter.I looked at Taylor and hesitated but couldn't contain my curiosity, asking, "So why did Enzo claim that Min was suffering from depression? Does he do this just to keep me on edge?" Thinking about it, it was entirely plausible that Enzo would do such a thing. He had never truly let me live in peace.Taylor furrowed her brow for a moment and then said, "I don't think so.""If not that, then what other reason could there be? He has alway
Chapter 76I crossed my arms and made it clear that I didn't want to pay any attention to him. I'd rather endure David's annoying remarks than have to see Enzo's face. But my indifference didn't make Enzo step back; he continued to smile at me."So, are you going out for dinner tonight?" Despite the obviousness of the situation, he still managed to ask that question. I replied casually, "I want to take my son out for dinner. Is there a problem?"Enzo shook his head and moved closer to me. "Well, that's good, but if you're planning to dine out, I can suggest a more upscale place." His tone clearly conveyed his disdain for this restaurant, which was not considered high-end and mainly catered to the middle class and those with moderate incomes.Upon hearing this, David blushed with anger, and he clenched his fist. I saw David's reaction and was all too familiar with Enzo's arrogance. Enzo wasn't entirely wrong, given his high status and wealth, the places he frequented were far from ordi
Chapter 77The next day, I went to the company and hardly paid any attention to what had happened last night; it felt like a dream, fading quickly. As I entered the employees' break room, I noticed everyone gathered and engaged in a serious discussion. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked, "What's going on? Everyone seems very solemn. Can someone fill me in?"The employees seemed a bit hesitant to speak when they saw me, but a female colleague finally spoke up, "The thing is... David... he...""David? What happened to him? Is he coming in late?" I asked, and it suddenly reminded me of what had transpired last night at that restaurant.Another colleague hurriedly closed the door and motioned for me to join them at the table, then began, "This morning, we found out that David, our new colleague, is actually the youngest son of Mr. Cruz, the CEO of ACB Company. But what's remarkable is that all of a sudden, there's news that ACB Company has gone bankrupt. How could a company that w
Chapter 78I immediately covered my mouth, feeling an overwhelming sense of regret as my mouth raced ahead of my brain. My terrified gaze fixed on the man calmly sipping tea in front of me. My entire body went cold, and a feeling of suffocation washed over me, making it difficult to breathe. It turned out this was the feeling of absolute terror.I stole a glance at Enzo's expression. He was looking at me, but there was no emotion in his eyes. His gaze was icy, indifferent, and ruthlessly fixed on me as if I were a helpless prey. At this moment, I was no different from a tiny prey within his sight."Why... why aren't you saying anything?" I was so frightened that I couldn't control the trembling in my voice. His silence made it seem like he was silently admitting to everything, despite all the doubts I had, even though the police had not yet found Rika's murderer."Rika's death... I'm asking you about it... Why aren't you saying anything!" I raised my voice, trying to hide the growing
Chapter 79My fingers barely touched the door when Enzo caught up, forcefully slamming my head against it, causing me excruciating pain and dizziness. I winced, trying to keep my body upright, but the impact of him was too strong."Enzo... you..." In pain and dazed, I could only whimper softly.Enzo stared coldly at me, his large, rough hand pressing my head, refusing to let go. "You want to run away from me so badly? If I knew you were like this, I would have killed that scoundrel who tempted you and his entire family, so they couldn't lead you further into those temptations."My head was spinning so much that I couldn't see clearly, but I heard his words clearly."You're insane, a murderer! LET ME GO!" I yelled, hoping someone outside would hear and come to rescue me, but I was too deluded to believe in such hope when I saw Enzo holding a syringe.At that moment, I realized there was no escape. I looked at him in horror, then at the syringe in his hand, and my anger and helplessness
Chapter 80Once again, I blacked out from exhaustion and fatigue, and when I woke up, Rollo was nowhere to be seen. The room I was lying in wasn't the same as before, and I sensed the presence of someone else in the room, which immediately put me on edge.The silence heightened my senses, and the room was dimly lit with only a faint glow from the bedside lamp. I could see the figure sitting in a chair, but due to the insufficient light, I couldn't make out the details.I was about to speak when a familiar voice, so familiar that it sent shivers down my spine, spoke up. Enzo approached me, staring at me for a long moment before finally speaking, "Are you awake? How do you feel? Any hurt?"He wanted to reach out to me, but I immediately recoiled, and his hand hung in the air, but he didn't retract it. Instead, he forcefully grabbed my chin, making me face him."Flora, look at me," Enzo said, his voice and gaze tender and gentle, but his actions were the complete opposite. My chin was be
Chapter 81Flora was horrified and terrified to the extreme when Enzo compelled her to watch the entire video clip, even though it lasted only five minutes, it felt like five hours to Flora. Enzo gazed at Flora, who had fainted from fear, feeling deeply disappointed and disheartened. Originally, he had revisited this video solely to prove his own innocence, confirming that he had been faithful to her.The five-minute duration of the video did not capture the entirety of what had truly occurred. This was because, after the fifth minute, Enzo had accidentally knocked the camera over, causing it to shatter, which prevented it from recording the remaining events.However, at that point, he paid little attention to it and continued relentlessly wielding a sharp saw blade in his excitement and fascination. Although his words seemed to blame Flora, his gaze towards her was incredibly tender and gentle."I deliberately went back to that moment just for you to see it, but you couldn't bring yo
