Gwen ignored Howard. She took off her jacket and the inner layer, revealing the tank top she wore underneath, as well as her scars all over her body.Howard was bewildered. He asked stiffly, "Gwen, h-how did this happen?""This was Chuck's doing."Gwen got up and walked over to Howard. "He imprisoned me and tortured me. He almost killed me. If it hadn't been for Yvonne, I would have long been dead."Howard's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't find his words for a very long time. He would never have imagined that the scars on Gwen's body had anything to do with the polite and sympathetic Chuck!Gwen continued coldly, "Chuck is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's impossible that he's doing anything for you sincerely. "He only told you Jane was the one who kidnapped Jade because he plans on taking advantage of you. Are you going to let him succeed?"Howard was stunned. He slowly came to his senses. So Gwen was the reason Jim and Yvonne had refused to let Chuck treat Jade."I …

That night, Jane entered the bar with a cat mask. Her shimmering dress wrapped around her body tightly, showing off her sexy figure.The bar was famous for its concept of having its patrons wear masks. Within two months of its opening, its fame had skyrocketed. Many young people went there in search of excitement, armed with their masks.Jane had long heard of this bar, but she had never found the time to go. For the past few days, she had been bored to death from being cooped up at home. When she had received her friend's invitation, she had agreed to it without giving it much thought.As she pushed the door to the private room open, a blast of music greeted her. She instantly cheered up, smiled, and ran into the arms of her friends.They drank one glass after the other. The more Jane drank, the more excited she got. In the end, she lost count of how many glasses she had drunk.It wasn't until her stomach started churning that she rejected any more alcohol from her friends. She

Two days had passed, yet they hadn't heard any news about Jane.Claude was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. After chastising his men, he paced about in the living area.Leonard was irritated by his pacing. "Can you just sit for a while?""How could I?" Claude was anxious. He glared at Leonard with bloodshot eyes. "Jane isn't your granddaughter, so of course, you're not worried! If anything were to happen to Jane, how am I to answer to her dead parents?""Jane grew up with me too. How could I not be worried?" Leonard replied curtly."But what's the point of being anxious? Will Jane return safely just because of that? It would be better to calm down, analyze the situation, and figure out who would kidnap her."Claude retorted, "I don't care who the hell kidnapped her! No matter who dared to take her away, I'll make sure they pay with their lives!"Coincidentally, Mark had just come downstairs and overheard what Claude said. He stopped a little in his tracks and smirked.L

A blood-curdling scream rang out. Suddenly, a group of men flooded into the container, interrupting the man in the raincoat.The man turned around to see Mark. He was a little stunned.Mark raised his hand, and a dozen men attacked the man in the raincoat. Mark, on the other hand, pulled a chair for himself and sat down. He happily looked at the exciting fight going on in the container.After all, the man in the raincoat was outnumbered. Soon, he was apprehended. His knife fell to the ground with a clang.Mark's men took the man over to Mark. They tore off his raincoat and cap. Howard's bloody face appeared right in front of Mark.Mark sneered. "You sure are bold.""Did you do it on purpose?" Howard asked sternly."I was just curious about what you were planning to do." Mark leaned in and gazed at Howard coldly. "I thought you would take Jane away. I never thought that Jane was your only target. You were targeting me as well."If Howard had taken Jane away, Mark wouldn't ha

At the hospital, Howard was sent to the emergency room to be resuscitated. During the process, countless bags of blood were sent in. At one point, the doctor even came out to inform them to prepare for the worst.Yvonne had thought of going in to help out a few times, but her hands were trembling so badly that she couldn't even pick anything up, let alone a scalpel.Howard was as important to her as Gwen was. They were family. How could she operate on him calmly?Moreover, she knew clearly that it was unlikely that he would come out in a good condition. While waiting outside the door for a few hours, Yvonne recalled her memories with Howard. Although Howard was a tough, macho man, he had an extremely honest heart. He was kind and helpful, too. The people in the mines respected him wholeheartedly.Yvonne had always treated him as an older brother, and Howard had always thought of her as his younger sister, too.Yvonne had always remembered the difficulties she had faced when
