All Chapters of Love in the dark: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

"I'm sorry." Laurence's expression was cold as ice. He turned the car around and sped up.Zoey rubbed the sore spot on her forehead, wondering what he had heard on his phone that made his expression so grave. She clutched the seatbelt tightly. "Can you please stop speeding? I'd like to get out."Laurence did not have the time to let her out of the car. He stepped on the accelerator and sped up even more. Fortunately for them, there wasn't much traffic, and the road wasn't congested. Laurence gripped tightly on the steering wheel, Matthew's words replaying repeatedly in his head. Sarah was having suicidal thoughts. That was entirely impossible. Sarah wasn't one to joke with her life. Both Laurence and Sarah knew better than anyone how precious life was. She would never use her life to threaten others. It simply wasn't worth it!As his breathing raced, he drew a deep breath to calm himself. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you."Zoey's forehead was swollen, and she had a big, re

With rage getting to Zoey, no words could escape her quivering lips. Sulking in the car, she wound down the window and let the breeze cool her down. She turned her head away from Laurence and continued their conversation, “You have blind trust in Sarah.” Love made people blind. Despite his knack for reading minds, over the years, Laurence could never get a read on Zoey’s.Laurence eased up on the accelerator, revealing nothing on his face. His deadpan look could not appear more serene. “How can you prove that you don’t have blind trust for your uncle?” Zoey often let her adoration for her uncle slip through in her voice when she spoke of him. She cared a lot about him, and she was proud of him. Her eyes would sparkle. Laurence had run a background check on Jason. The man was a top graduate of Southgrove University. Back then, Jason scored the highest on his SATs out of anyone in the city. He had been the big man on campus and a model student in the teachers’ eyes. Jason had

Pin-drop silence filled the office. After discovering that Laurence wanted to see him the day before, Jason had gotten the divorce papers ready for Zoey. Jason certainly knew why Laurence made a huge deal looking for him. The fact that Sarah did not take his warning seriously gave Jason an inkling of what Sarah was capable of during his years of absence. Sarah had employed many tactics to push people around. Jason had noticed the other day that Sarah was no ordinary haughty and bossy spoiled brat. She could adapt to the situation and knew the right things to say. Despite her resentment toward Jason, Sarah could use words to her advantage and tug at people’s heartstrings. Before leaving the hotel, Jason had made sure the surveillance footage was erased. He would not give Sarah any evidence. Still, he was amazed that Laurence took Sarah’s side and stood up for her even when she had no proof. Without a glance at the divorce papers on the table, Laurence composedly fixated on Jason

Laurence stayed silent for a long moment when he heard Zoey’s words, guessing that she probably knew her uncle was injured. With all the strength she could muster, Zoey continued, "I wish you had died a long time ago." She felt dizzy as she spoke and steadied herself against the wall. "They should have killed you when you got kidnapped. You should have died at seventeen. All of us should have." Her voice was low and unsteady as she spoke. On the other end of the line, Laurence's expression darkened at the ruthless words like a violent storm. Everyone in the meeting room watched their boss' expression gradually change. The pen between his fingers bent as his knuckles turned white. He did not apologize but seemed to allow her to vent her anger.Zoey disliked hospitals because her memories of them weren't pleasant. Since she was a kid, she had had to accept countless medical warnings from doctors saying her mother had barely survived. After that, she lost her first child at the hospi

Zoey was worried he wouldn't know the flow of events, so she explained it clearly. She had even planned out what to do if Laurence disagreed. She rambled on with her head lowered, not looking at him. Laurence's body was stiff as if his blood was turning to ice. He interrupted her, "Your uncle is no saint."Zoey fell silent. Laurence couldn't explain the animosity he felt towards Jason. He didn't know if it was because of what he had done to Sarah or the envy Laurence harbored in his heart. He would make use of the chance to satisfy his own selfish needs. "He only brought his gang of men to pose threats this time, but what if he does something next time? What if he commits rape, records it, and spreads it around?" Laurence questioned calmly.Zoey looked up slowly, her gaze pure and innocent. "So, should I be thanking you for not killing my uncle?" "That's not what I meant." Laurence gazed at her pale face and took a step closer to her. She retreated as he stopped before her. "But
