She was the only person in the study when Old Madam Forester passed. Even if she said she had nothing to do with her death, nobody would believe her. If they did, she would not be wanted by the police across the country. Without warning, she suddenly recognized a familiar figure in one of the shaky but otherwise clear pictures. The man did not avoid the camera like the other Foresters. He kept his head held high and seemed completely indifferent to the presence of the reporters. There was an invisible and intimidating aura around him that made people tremble with fear. Jenna had been relatively calm the last few days. However, the moment she saw him, she felt a throb in her heart as if someone plunged a knife into her… She quickly turned off the phone, her expression haggard. She did not turn on the phone again after that. Instead, she turned on the TV in the living room to find something to watch. The child seemed to grow curious when she saw Jenna and proceeded to g
“Yeah, I heard about it.” Jenna noted with a brief smile and watched as they left. When she turned off the TV and turned to return to the room, she saw Kevin leaning against the door and nearly jumped. “How did you not make a sound when you came out?” “I just did.” Kevin formed a fist and coughed against it before suggesting, "Let's go and have some fun as well.” “Is your body fine?” “It's just a flesh wound. It’s not like I was shot.” Kevin shrugged and seemed quite at ease. “We’ve been staying in hotels and hostels ever since leaving Hevedburgh. It’s getting pretty boring.” Since it seemed like Kevin was desperate to go out, Jenna was not against it. With that, the two headed out together. The light show was an annual tradition of the locals in the area. While they were walking down the street, they could see all the local men and women dressed up in their traditional clothing. They all had bright smiles on their faces, seemingly very happy because of the ligh
The man took advantage of the chaos in the plaza and dragged Jenna through the crowd before shoving her into a car parked by the road. The door was barely shut properly before the car drove off. After Jenna collapsed into the seat, she wanted to pull herself up. However, she was easily overpowered by the man who was a trained professional. As soon as she tried to move, the man who got into the car with her immediately threw himself at her. He promptly strapped her hands behind her with a rope and tied it with a unique knot. He did the same thing to her feet, keeping them strapped tightly. Then, he shoved a cloth into her mouth. “So this is Jenna?" The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and grew suspicious when he looked at Jenna’s appearance. “Don’t get the wrong person, especially since we’ve put so much effort into this.” “There’s no mistaking it, it's her!" The man sitting next to Jenna was confident. He eyed Jenna up and down before telling his accomplice, "
Jenna sneered. "Ivy, you should know better than me how Grandma died. As soon as I entered the study, you came in right behind me. Was that a coincidence?” Ivy's face darkened immediately, she clenched her jaw. They were on the phone and many other parties were listening in on their conversation. The more Jenna rattled on, the more disadvantageous it was to Ivy since there were other people present. She decided to stop bickering with Jenna and ordered severely, “Strip her and take pictures!” "Ivy, are these cheap, disgusting tricks all you know?” Jenna began to wriggle the moment the men touched her body, she cried out, “It was Quinn's grandmother who died! If it’s anyone who should deal with me, it should be Quinn himself since I’m his wife! What makes you think you are in the position to punish me?” After a pause, she said with a scoff, “Do you still think you are his ex-girlfriend? You are only pregnant with his brother's child. Have some decency and mind yourself!
Jenna intentionally drawled her speech at this point. “That the hibiscus tattoo on his chest was drawn by me? I had someone do the tattoo for him after I designed it. You better start working your charms and start crying to him to see if he would remove the tattoo for you. Otherwise, think of how awful it would be to see the tattoo every time you hug him and be reminded of it!” The moment Jenna brought this up, Ivy’s thought instantly went to the tattoo on Quinn's body. The thought of them getting a tattoo together to commemorate their relationship made her go crazy. She almost wanted to smash her phone. Then she clenched her jaw and cried out, "Hurry up already, got that?” The man with the cigarettes knelt in front of Jenna. He ruthlessly pressed the lit-up end of the cigarette onto one of the letters on Jenna’s waist. Her flesh was scalded and the pain quickly spread from the waist to her entire body. She had to bite her lip to prevent herself from screaming. Her entir
The others tensed up immediately when they saw the instant killing blow. Kevin did not intend to let any of them get away with what they had done. His agile figure zipped through the rain and tore through them. He did not need to resort to any fancy tricks. All he used were simple and deadly punches or kicks. Before long, bodies were piled on the ground. "Kevin!" Someone suddenly roared furiously. It was accompanied by the click of a gun. Kevin turned around and saw that one of the men who he had just beaten had got up. He had one of his arms wrapped around Jenna’s neck and a gun pressed to her temples. His finger was clenched around the trigger. With just one slight movement, the bullet would shoot right through Jenna's head. The man watched Kevin rooted to the same spot and glared at him. Even after ensuring that Kevin would not move, he did not lower his guard and told his accomplices who could still move to get up and pick up the phone on the ground. The phone w
When Ivy thought about how Kevin had sworn unending loyalty to Jenna, she began to feel upset again. “If you’re not going to swear loyalty to me, so be it! Only you or Jenna will get to live today!” She hissed sharply. She shot a look at the man next to Kevin. The man immediately went to the car and rummaged around looking for something. Then, he found a capsule and handed it to Kevin. Upon hearing what Ivy said, Jenna suddenly regained clarity in her mind. She began to struggle mightily and screamed for Kevin to not take the capsule. She shouted at the phone so Ivy could hear her, "Ivy, you can take it out on me, break my hands and legs if you want, just don’t do anything to him! Let him go!” “He wants me to let you go, and you want me to let him go, who should I listen to?” Ivy said with a wry smile, “Are you sure you want to die?” The man who was restraining Jenna began to squeeze the trigger of the gun a little tighter. Kevin's heart tightened. He immediately snat
It was Sam who rescued him when he was young. He did not have a family and thought of Sam as his brother. Growing up, he never disobeyed Sam no matter what he told him to do. Then, he met the girl whose smile could light up the whole world. Her smile was the sweetest thing he knew. She would play games with him and remember his favorite food. Being with her made him feel like a living person instead of feeling like an emotionless machine. He was lucky to have come to Hevedburgh and get to meet her. The time he spent with her was the best period in his life. He loved the girl deeply and was willing to give up everything for her. “I know, I know…” Jenna caressed his cold and pale cheeks. She said with her lips trembling, “Don’t die, you told me you would take me to Khoal, and you said there was a beautiful sea there. I’ll take you to the hospital, you’ll be fine…” She took Kevin and tried to pull him up in her arms. She forgot that her legs were still bound and ended up tu
