"I was wrong, Max. I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. Please, don't hurt me anymore," Cindy pleaded, her body covered in wounds, wishing she could faint from the pain."Didn't you always want to know who entered Jen's room at the Waldorf Hotel that night? I'll tell you now," Max said, leaning close to Cindy."I... I don't want to know anymore," Cindy whimpered, terrified of Max. As he approached, she tried to move away, despite her injuries, desperate to increase the distance between them.Max ignored her attempts to escape, leaning in close to her ear, his lips curling in a mocking smile."Max, was it you who arranged for that man to be there that night?" I asked, feeling a surge of anger and betrayal. Max had previously denied knowing who the man was, leading me to believe Cindy was behind it."Just assume it was me," Max said, looking down at Cindy. "Did you hear that clearly?""That's not true. You're lying!" Cindy's disbelief turned to resentment.I was

A phone call had just come in moments ago, but now the call had ended and the phone was locked. Max tried several times to unlock it without success. He grabbed my hand and demanded, "Unlock it.""What are you going to do with my phone?" I clenched my hand tightly, refusing to cooperate.Max attempted to unlock the phone using facial recognition, but I quickly shut my eyes. "Jen, I don't have the patience for this," he said, waving the knife in front of me.Realizing that my life was in immediate danger, I reluctantly opened my eyes, and the phone unlocked. Max quickly navigated through the phone. "Looks like the police already noticed I left the hospital. If you had seen the messages or answered the calls earlier, you wouldn't be in this mess. Bad luck for you."I regretted setting my phone to silent to avoid Cindy's calls. Missing those alerts had indeed brought me to this point. I needed to buy time, hoping the police would find us before it was too late.I caught sight of Mind

"Enough!" Max growled, irritated by Mindy shaking his arm. His eyes burned with anger."You're yelling at me! I can't believe it," Mindy said in disbelief. She clung to Max's arm, refusing to let go. "I broke the law for you! You promised to marry me, have children with me, and give me a beautiful future. You can't go back on your word.""He only said those sweet things because he could use you. Look at me—I'm living proof!" I scoffed. Despite what had happened to me, Mindy still naively walked into the trap. Did she even have a brain?To provoke Mindy further, I added fuel to the fire. "Men lie to get what they want. He'll say anything to make you believe him. Only you two idiots believe his every word, thinking he can't live without you."Cindy, always quick to attack me, unexpectedly became my ally. She had often pointed out how Max had deceived me, leading to my family's downfall. Her words now served my purpose. "You two sound like you're performing a duet," Max said, catching

Mindy seemed oblivious to Max's words, continuing to swing the stool violently. "I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to lose my freedom. You have to take me away now!""Alright, alright, I'll take you. Just put the stool down first."In her agitated state, Mindy was surprisingly strong. Max attempted to block and disarm her twice, but was unsuccessful. To calm her down, he pretended to agree to her demands."If I put down the stool, you'll take me away?" Mindy paused and looked at him expectantly, still holding onto a glimmer of hope."Yes, behave. Put down the stool, and I'll take you away."Seeing her hesitancy, Max softened his tone and cautiously approached her, searching for an opportunity to snatch the stool.Everything happened so suddenly that I barely had time to process it. Max had been forced back by Mindy, now five or six meters away from me. I wanted to warn Mindy to be cautious, but her infatuation with Max rendered her blind to reason. Any trace of hope would

"Mindy, I'm taking you with me. Stop clinging to me," Max said irritably as Mindy stuck to him like glue, muttering incessantly."You need to behave. If you keep this up, I'll leave you behind," Max warned."You can't leave me! I've lost everything for you. I won't let you abandon me!" Mindy's already fragile mental state crumbled further at his words. She clung tightly to Max's arm, shaking him desperately."Let go of me, Mindy!" Max yelled, noticing that I had already pushed open the stairwell door. He shoved her aside."You yelled at me again. You can't treat me like this," Mindy sobbed, gripping Max's coat even tighter."Let go!" Max struggled as Mindy continued to cry and cling to him, making it hard for him to move. In her desperation, she tried to grab the knife from his hand.Max wasn't about to hand over the knife to a ticking time bomb like Mindy. He quickly lifted his arm to keep it out of her reach."Give me the knife! If you don't take me, I won't let you go either,

Chapter 206

Max had not expected Luke's quick movement. Before he could catch me, he thrust the knife towards Luke."Watch out, Luke!" I shouted from a few steps above, seeing Max's actions clearly. My heart leapt into my throat.Luke's reflexes were even better than I had imagined. He quickly sidestepped, then kicked Max in the chest. "Jen, move to the side!" he instructed.Luke's kick sent Max tumbling down the stairs like a kite with a broken string. He screamed in pain as he rolled down. Following Luke's warning, I pressed myself against the stair rail, avoiding Max as he fell past me.As Max rolled by, he reached out to grab my pant leg. But in the next moment, Luke lifted me up a step, and Max's hand merely brushed against my pants before he crashed onto the landing below.Despite his fall, Max wasn't gravely injured. He quickly stood up, picked up the knife that had fallen beside him, and glared menacingly at Luke and me."He doesn't want to escape, he wants to kill me," I whispered,

The police arrived just as Max was being thrown onto the landing. They quickly moved forward to confirm his identity.Right behind them came Wendy, who pushed past the officers and rushed towards me with a worried look on her face."Wendy, why are you here?" I asked."How could I not come when you're in trouble! You must have a death wish, going to confront Max alone!"She checked my arms and legs to make sure they were intact, then reached out to wipe the blood off my face. "Sweetie, your face is covered in blood. It's scary.""Don't touch her. Jen's face is injured," Luke said, pulling me back to avoid Wendy's hands.Upon hearing that I was hurt, Wendy's eyes reddened. "Jen's face is injured? Let me see how bad it is.""She seems to think she's immortal. This is nothing to her," Luke retorted.I had injuries on my face, hand, and shoulder. The extreme fear and tension I felt while facing Max alone momentarily made me forget the pain. But now that the danger had passed, the wo

Chapter 208

To him, I was just his deceased mentor's daughter. Because of their close relationship, he took care of me. He thought it was a simple matter, but I ended up being a burden. By now, he probably finds me quite bothersome.I thanked him, saying, "Thank you for tonight.""Here's some pain medication. Take one if the anesthesia wears off and the pain becomes unbearable," Luke said, placing the medicine on the bedside table. "I haven't found a suitable replacement for your job yet. Take care and recover soon so you can return to work.""I will!" I promised."Get some rest." Luke turned to leave but stopped at the door.I assumed he had more work-related instructions and quickly said, "I'll make sure to hand over the meeting materials to Zac and Bryan tomorrow. Your work won't be delayed.""I told you before that Max couldn't cause any trouble, yet you still got hurt. I bear some responsibility.""This is a personal grudge between Max and me. You were dragged into it because of me, so

After the scare I had, my mind was in a jumble, and I couldn't sleep at all."Huh!" Wendy, who was halfway closing the curtains, stopped.I turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing, it's just that there are so many cars of the same brand," Wendy muttered, then closed the curtains completely. "Sweetie, why don't you move in with me after you're discharged from the hospital?""Wendy, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm afraid that if we spend too much time together, I might lose you as a friend.""Are you afraid I'll discover your flaws, or are you implying that I have flaws?""Of course, I'm afraid you'll find out about my flaws. Our Miss Perfect Wendy doesn't have a single flaw!""Jen, I'm serious about this," Wendy said, uncharacteristically serious.I adjusted my expression to match her seriousness. "I know you're worried that I'll be scared living alone, but life is long. I can't always rely on you. I need to learn to cope on my own.""Jen, take things

Chapter 210

When the bandages were taken off my face, Wendy playfully poked my cheek and asked, "Honey, is your face swollen because the wound hasn't fully healed yet?""The doctor told me today during rounds that my wound is healing nicely." I had examined my injured left cheek in the mirror; the unsightly black scab had fallen off, leaving behind a pink scar. The doctor had assured me that the scar would gradually fade and could potentially be removed through cosmetic treatment.My face is how I present myself to the world. If it hadn't healed well, it would draw unwanted attention. I didn't have the strength to face those looks without feeling affected, so I gently touched my face and walked over to the mirror."Both sides are pretty symmetrical, plump, and adorable. Feels nice too," Wendy teased, pinching my face. "Just kidding. You've been eating and sleeping well lately, so you've filled out. You look just like you did in college.""Am I really that fat?"I had been so focused on the sc
