Under the mask, his face turned frigid and his nose flared. Another surge of anger rised inside him. 'I won't let you do whatever you want, Athena!

She's dead, remember?"Ben chuckled while shaking his head, "As Athena Stanford perhaps but my Zenith Monroe is alive.""Why are you telling me all this?"

That was against the law of human and God." Hearing this, Hannah laughed. "Do you think I still care about that goddamn law? Look where I am." She said, "I'm here in jail so why should I give a sh*t about the law?!" "Miss," the nurse sighed helplessly and replied, "...why do you sound like you have lost all your hope?

Moreover, working hours has long been ended after he dismissed her harshly at the office so why was he still barking at her at this hour?

We don't have much time left!" Ashley nodded as she stood up. In one swift, she took all the documents from her table then she scurried out, heading towards the CEO's office.
