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
Chapter 82Mr. Hill and his daughter, Madian, were happily chatting in the living room. Madian had long admired Enzo Robert. When she learned that her father was collaborating with Enzo's DIZ conglomerate, she felt immensely proud and joyful. Her happiness wasn't solely because her father could work with such a prominent conglomerate, but also because it provided her with an easier way to get closer to Enzo.Upon hearing that her father would introduce her to Enzo Robert, Madian was overjoyed but maintained a hint of shyness on the outside."I will follow everything that Dad arranges," Madian said.Mr. Hill was very pleased, he was always proud of having such a talented and virtuous daughter. Up to this point, Mr. Hill and his wife had carefully managed their daughter's upbringing, hoping that she would marry a wealthy and suitable son-in-law, and Enzo Robert seemed like the perfect son-in-law.However, their joy was short-lived as the assistant entered to report, "Sir, Mr. Robert has
Chapter 83Flora, exhausted, could only lean on Enzo beside her, partly because he was holding onto her shoulders tightly, making it impossible for her to evade. In front of Flora, Mr. Hill was continuously pleading for forgiveness, causing her distress. Even though she didn't understand what was happening, she suspected that Enzo had done something to them and was putting the blame on her."Please stand up, I'm not angry about anything, you don't need to apologize to me," Flora sighed.Mr. Hill, upon hearing this, felt relieved. He looked appreciatively at Flora and then turned his gaze towards Enzo sitting beside her."My wife said that, so I can reconsider our cooperation. If there's nothing else, you can leave now; my wife is exhausted and needs some rest," Enzo waved him away, his affectionate gaze still fixed on Flora. He felt as though a warm stream flowed through him when Flora leaned on him.Mr. Hill thanked Flora repeatedly and quickly took his daughter away. He no longer co
Chapter 84Madian believed that Flora's arrogance was due to Enzo. After all, an ordinary girl could become the wife of the most powerful and wealthy man, and she would naturally display her pride and act high and mighty. However, Flora simply thought Madian was being annoying and that she wouldn't have been involved in these matters if it weren't for Enzo."You may act haughty, but don't forget your background. Now, Mr. Enzo may be interested in you, but he will soon grow tired, and then you'll be like a dog that's been chased away," Madian arrogantly stated, feeling superior as Flora didn't respond.Flora's intentions aligned with Madian's, she wanted Enzo to grow tired of her and push her away. However, Enzo was obsessed with her, a psychological disturbance that made her doubt he wouldn't let her go easily.Flora sighed in the face of these two, not knowing the depth of Madian's feelings for Enzo, but she also didn't want to care. "I hope what you're saying is true, and I'm eagerl
