"I'm sorry," Cory apologized sincerely before pulling Jane away and leaving.Although others might not be able to see it, Jane could clearly sense that Cory was trying hard to keep his emotions at bay. His grip on her was so tight that her bones felt like they were about to be crushed.Jane was in so much pain that she furrowed her brows. She almost tripped a few times. Cory threw her in the car. He didn't even look at her as he turned around and left.Jane was infuriated. She yelled, "Cory Sloan, if you're so great, go and talk to them! What's the point of bullying me? I was the one standing up for you—"Benji frantically went over and covered her mouth. "Fuck! Stop talking! Are you trying to get me killed too? "Those people are Ashley's parents. Cory never speaks to them rudely. How dare you try to reason with them? They even misunderstood who you are."Benji was almost in tears. He utterly regretted bringing Jane there. "If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't hav

After Stephen left, Otto looked out of the window in thought for a long time. In the end, he still sent a message to Yvonne."We've found out where the oil is being transported to, but Mr. Anderson took the thumb drive away."After sending the message, he held his phone and sighed. He didn't know if what he had done was right or wrong.…Yvonne was sleeping lightly. When her phone vibrated, she woke up right away. She reached for her phone. She squinted her eyes, finding it hard to adjust to the sudden brightness.When she saw the message, she immediately sat up. She replied, "Stephen found out all about it?""Hmm. He even said not to tell you."When she received Otto's reply, she tugged her hair in disappointment. Sure enough, nothing got past Stephen. He was also probably thinking the same thing as her. He must have planned to take the risk alone. Yvonne smiled helplessly. How could she possibly agree to it?"Give me the address."Soon, Otto sent the address to Yvonne. H

The only person who knew about Yvonne's plan that night was Otto.This entire thing was such a heavy burden on his shoulders that he couldn't fall asleep at all.The lights in his study were still on. He sat at his desk in front of his computer, repeatedly going through the video of the truck's journey.He picked up his mug and tried to take a sip when he realized that there was no longer coffee in it.He furrowed his brows. He was inexplicably annoyed. He needed to vent his emotions, yet he couldn't pinpoint where all his emotions were coming from. He rubbed his temple hard, trying to calm his anxious heart.After calming down a little, he looked at the time. It was already 1:30 am, yet he wasn't sleepy at all.He got up and made himself another mug of coffee before returning to his desk. He blew on his mug and took a few small sips.He hadn't added sugar or milk to his coffee. The bitterness and aroma of the coffee slowly spread on his tongue.He drank half a mug, his gaze

As she looked at Mark's pale face, Yvonne didn't get the thrill that she had expected. On the contrary, what she got was an endless, empty feeling.Now that Mark was left with nothing, the hatred in her heart seemed fake. She and Mark had ended up like this all because of this hatred. There had been so much bloodshed because of them, too.Even Jennifer couldn't have imagined that a lie would raise such a murderous monster!"Mark, you're the most pathetic and foolish person here." Yvonne snickered. "You deserved what you got. Taking your life like this is too kind for you. I want you to live in the pain of lies and hatred. I want you to remember all the terrible things you have done in the past. I want you to use the remainder of your insufferable life to compensate for your actions."Yvonne stood up and ordered her men. "Break his legs and send him to the training camp. He is no longer a Principal from today onward. He will be a training camp chaperone."Her men looked at each

"She has burns on half of her body. When she was brought to Hope in the middle of the night, she was barely breathing. She's no longer in danger after resuscitation."Jim had passed out the second he had seen Yvonne in such a state. He hadn't taken part in the resuscitation efforts.When he had come around, he had found out that Yvonne had been sent to the ICU. So he had quickly rushed over. He had only gotten there a little before Stephen.Only Otto had been up the entire night with her."Ms. Miller is still unconscious. She has burns all over her body. The doctor strongly advises people who are not family not visit—"Suppressing his anger, Stephen coldly interrupted Otto. "Tell me, what the hell happened?" Otto paused for a while. "Last night, Ms. Miller led a group of men to look for Mark. We all thought that the oil he had bought would be used to deal with people around Ms. Miller. We only thought of capturing him to stop him."I went through the surveillance footage a lot
