Zachary glowered. "Are you saying that we're already dead?"Mrs. Slate scowled, her fingers clenching on the handles of her wheelchair. "I was hurt, but I came back on a wheelchair because I had to. I'm worried she'd hurt you—""If she does kill me, I deserve it. Consider that I'm paying your debt." With that, he reached for the door handle, but suddenly paused and turned around to his mother again. "Don't mention anything, and pretend you know nothing about the fire."After all, he knew very well that Lulu would just leave him if she could not have her revenge, and he wanted to keep her at his side even if she was doing it out of spite."If she leaves me again because of you, I'll never forgive you!""Fine, I'll even treat her like my daughter," Mrs. Slate quickly replied. "But you have to be wary of her—I don't want you to get hurt."Zachary sneered. "You don't want me to get hurt while you hurt others?"Mrs. Slate had no comeback for that. "Look, I know I've made mistakes,

Zachary studied her. "Why are you always so wary? Am I some sort of criminal?""Haven't I always been like this?" Lulu replied.Zachary pursed his lips. "I love you, Lulu, and that's never changed, y'know?"Lulu sensed that something was wrong with him right then. "You know I've forgotten.""You have, but you could ask about the past, couldn't you?"He was referring to the possibility that someone might have told Lulu that his mother tried to kill her. "What are you talking about?" Lulu raised a brow."Do you know what your previous profession was?""What?" "Forensic doctor," Zachary replied. "We both graduated from the same university, and we used to date as students—""I'm sleepy," Lulu said, not wanting to hear further and sensing that Zachary was acting weird.Zachary, however, ignored her and continued. "When it comes to people of our profession, we are sharp when it comes to drugs…"That was why the drug he spiked her milk with was colorless and tasteless, and he wo

"I don't want to throw away everything I've learned," Irene admitted—she was passionate about her work, and she was convinced that she must not lose herself or give up on her career no matter who she married. In fact, she wants to be his equal, instead of being a yes-woman—or at least have a career if that was not possible. Isaac thought about it for a couple seconds. "Would you give up if I said no?""I…" Irene trailed off, sending his displeasure.Before she could come up with something to convince him, he added, "I can give you anything you want."He was telling her that he could give her everything else.Irene lowered her gaze. "I insisted on becoming a doctor despite my father's protests. I really love my job."Isaac simply wiped his face and threw the towel into the basin. "Think again."With that, he strode out.Irene tried to follow, wanting to explain that Dennis did not give her much time and she must come to a decision."Isaac…""I have a lot on my plate."He

Sensing danger right then, Irene turned toward Seth, who appeared perplexed by her look. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"Irene pointed at Harvey Gooding. "He's your cousin?""Yeah," Seth replied honestly. "His mother is my mother's youngest sister.""He's sick?" Irene asked. "Yeah—that's what he told me," Seth said. "He's hoping you can take a look.Irene's lips twitched.Fine, it was her own negligence! Or maybe she never could have expected that Seth and Harvey were related."Why are you so surprised?" Harvey rose to his feet just then and he slowly walked towards Irene.Alarmed, Irene retreated and turned to run, only to find the door blocked by several burly men, each of whom had fearsome looks on their faces!Her escape cut off, Irene wheeled on Harvey. "What do you want?"Harvey smiled. "To get checked, of course—I'm a patient, and you're a doctor, right?"Irene narrowed her eyes. "I don't think I can do it. Get someone else, and let me go rig

Irene panicked, sensing that Harvey was different now.Softening her tone, she said, "It's ungentlemanly of you to take out your grievances on a woman, Harvey. Your quarrel is with Isaac, so take it up with him—""Oh, but I am. He's destroying my company, so I'm destroying his woman. Isn't that fair?" Harvey licked his lips. "You'll both suffer!"Irene looked around the room then and saw a closed window to the right. She judged that her body could squeeze through it and it was her only chance to escape. Keeping her distance from Harvey, she started to move slowly toward it. "Calm down, Harvey. We can talk about this.""Talk? Do you think I'm an idiot? There's no going back now!" Harvey saw through her intentions right then. He snapped smugly, "Trying to run again?!'Realizing that he had caught on, Irene dashed to the window at top speed—it was the only way and there was no time to think!However, when she tried to open it, she found that it was stuck in place, refusing to

Irene struggled to get out of bed, retaining the last ounce through her experience as a doctor.Her only intention was to escape, because she must!However, Harvey was not even worried that she would run. He simply watched as she struggled, even sitting beside the bed and crossing his legs.He knew that Irene was a tough nut to crack, and he therefore tested the drug on others before injecting it into her, even ensuring to up the dosage on her!No matter how calm she was, she would never win against a drug that affected her mind.Her feet were powerless and simply slid off the bed even when she managed to move them to the edge of the bed, causing her to tumble as she could not stand.Harvey got up and picked her up in her arms, but Irene did not have the strength to push him away even though she felt repulsed. "I'm begging you, Harvey. Let me go…"Harvey gently put her back on bed, leaning on top of her as he said, "Do you think Isaac would let me go if I do?""I can tell him

Lulu flung her wrist, shaking Zachary's hand off, only for Zachary to catch her again, even going further as to wrap his hand firmly around her waist. "I know you hate me, Lulu, and I know I was wrong—but our love was true. Why do you refuse to give me a chance?""Why should I, after you hurt me?" Lulu asked in return. Zachary did not deny it. "Nobody's perfect. Is there anyone who does no wrong? I admit I was at fault, and I'm willing to change. Isn't that enough?"Lulu pursed her lips. "What did I ever see in you?"She was puzzled—was she an idiot in the past to fall for him?Zachary remained obstinate. "I'm not letting you go whatever you say."Lulu was incensed. "You're unreasonable!""Say whatever you want!" Zachary did not care!That was when Mrs. Slate returned from the hospital and she frowned when she saw the commotion in the living room. "What are you doing?"An idea immediately came to Lulu's mind when she saw Mrs. Slate and she turned toward Isaac. "You want m

Isaac was not concerned at first, but his face turned grim when he saw Irene in the video.She was lying on a bed with Harvey sitting right beside her.Even their conversation could not be clearer, especially when he said, "Scared, aren't you? Think I'm disgusting? But that's what I want, for both you and Isaac to be disgusted!" With that, he no longer teased her, and instead, he tore through her clothes.The video did not stop there, however—Isaac watched with his own eyes as Harvey completely undressed Irene, and once she was nude, he leaned downwards…Bang! The laptop lid was shut so violently the resounding bang could shatter the glass wall!Isaac's hand, still on top of the laptop, clenched into a fist. Veins bulge over the back of his hand while his chin clenched and his temples twitched.Fury overflowed in his veins and his eyes turned bloodshot! He sprang to his feet at the next instant, kicking up a cold gust in his wake as he strode outside while making a call.
