Confronted with an unforeseen situation, Erica's entire body remained still, her heart pounding. She stared at her counterpart without blinking. The silence stretched on, seemingly endless, if it weren't for Erica's mind snapping her back to reality.She let out a long breath, nervously licking her dry lips. Erica tentatively initiated a conversation:"I remember who you are. You're my defense attorney."Erica feigned friendliness, intentionally bombarding herself with questions to buy herself some time. She needed to divert the other person's attention while strategizing how to handle this unexpected predicament."It's nice to see you again. May I ask what you're doing here?"Without waiting for the lawyer to respond, Erica learns about his engine."And what are you doing? What's the gun for?"Erica shifted her gaze towards the firearm, a faint smile flickering on her lips.Ignoring Erica's fake expression as well as her simple, innocent questions, the lawyer loudly ordered:"Go insid

As if sensing what the director was thinking, Mrs. Lani instinctively got a little scared. Fortunately, she didn't let her insecurities show."What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Mrs. Lani gathered enough courage to break the silence as the bank manager looked at her."May I ask what you are, Miss Erica?" The director asked the question with suspicion.It was a bit surprising to be asked a question, but Mrs. Lani was adept at handling psychology and knew how to respond."I am Erica's current guardian, Lani Taylor. My husband is Mr. Lagan Watson's younger brother."Saying that Mrs. Lani opened her bag and took out some necessary documents. She put it on the table, then gently pushed it towards the director."This is my identity document. As well as my husband's."Because she had prepared in advance, Mrs. Lani had something to say when asked, making her appear very confident. The director picked up and examined the papers that Mrs. Lani had just provided."I see. Where's your husband?" Af

After the incident, and with unexpected outcomes, Erica initially thought that Mrs. Lani would not let her off easily for running away. She believed that Mrs. Lani would surely track her down to continue causing trouble and threatening her. However, contrary to Erica's worries and anxieties, Mrs. Lani remained completely silent. This led Erica to speculate that perhaps Mrs. Lani and Mr. Martin were devising another plan to obtain the money. Realizing that Erica was utterly useless to them, they no longer needed her. If that were the case, Erica would feel relieved and could confidently return to her normal daily life. Today, Erica decided to return to school after several unexplained absences. Erica hoped that the school authorities would not inquire about the reason for her prolonged absence from classes for over a week. However, Erica's hopes were quickly shattered, and the reality turned out to be even worse. An unexpected event occurred, something that Erica had never anticipated.

At this moment, in company AB, a subsidiary of the JK Group, the meeting with the business partner has just concluded. The CEO of the company, Ansel Brown, and his assistant, who also serves as his personal lawyer, are on their way back to their private office."Ansel, what are your plans? Are you going to attend the Aberdeen party?" Nika Curs just sat down on the sofa and immediately reminded him of an important matter: "It's the wedding reception of Aber's daughter.""I don't know yet; I'm still undecided," Ansel replied wearily, sinking into the chair after taking off his coat and hanging it on the rack next to the door."Undecided about who to go with?" Nika inquired, "Why do you seem so down and have a pale complexion?""I had trouble sleeping last night," Ansel admitted honestly. "What happened? Did you have an argument with your girlfriend?" Nika teased her boss."No, it's not that. The issue arises from the company's new project," Ansel clarified so that Nika wouldn't assume s

Nika turned to ask Ansel. "Ansel, do you perceive that young lady running in pursuit of our vehicle?"Upon hearing your words, Ansel turned to look behind the car. Indeed, Ansel saw Erica running towards them, shouting something incessantly."I will stop the car to see what's going on," Nika suggested. "We never know; it might be something important." "Who knows? What if we're mistaken? Maybe the girl is chasing after a different car," Ansel shared his perspective."Look, there's no other car behind us." Ansel surprised Nika with his astute observation."Well, it's up to you," Ansel responded indifferently. He wasn't confident about his decision, so he will follow your lead.Without uttering a word, Nika swiftly maneuvered the car to the roadside and brought it to a halt. He then patiently awaited Erica's arrival, who was running towards them.
