“Yes, Chairman Salvador!”


    After giving the orders, Gregory shook his head in dismay and left the


    ward with a heavy gait.


    Gregory did not even bother to spare Shannon another nce.


    Shannon stood frozen, her mouth slightly ajar and her legs trembling. Eventually, she sank to her


    knees.


    Despite her crying and pleading, Shannon realized that even if she were to die right now, Gregory


    would not bother to stay by her side or even spare her a nce.


    She thought, ‘Gregory, you no longer love me, or perhaps I’m just a substitute for someone else. You


    never truly loved me.’


    “Ha… Haha… Hahahaha!”


    Shannonughed hysterically, startling the bodyguard. “Madam Shannon, are you alright?”


    “Great… This time, it seems we’re just like one another.”


    She thought, ‘You never truly loved me, nor have I ever loved you! But,


    Gregory, little did you know, I still won. I destroyed the woman you


    cherished most in this life!’


    “Ouch… it hurts…”


    When Bethany regained consciousness, she found herself in a damp and filthy environment.


    With narrowed eyes, Bethany carefully observed her surroundings and realized she was in an


    abandoned warehouse. The warehouse had a musty odor and the asional scurrying of mice.


    “Ah!” Bethany hastily retreated, grabbing a dirty brick to fend off the


    mice.


    As the rodents scurried away, their squeaks seemed to mock her


    from afar.


    “Is anyone here? Can anyone hear me? Please, someone help me!”


    As Bethany cried out in distress, the warehouse door creaked open


    slowly.


    Emerging from the blinding light was an enchanting figure, dressed in a form-fitting ck dress that


    entuated her physique. The seductive silhouette would make any man’s heart race.

    “Y-You… You’re the woman who’s always by Mr. Hoffman’s side!” Bethany immediately recognized her


    “Good evening, Ms. Bethany. You’ve been out for quite a while. I’ve been patiently waiting for you to


    regain consciousness,” said Yasmin. Her eyes narrowed seductively, adjusting her ck leather gloves


    as she looked at Bethany with a mischievous smirk.


    “Were you the one who kidnapped me here? How dare you kidnap the


    esteemed daughter of the Salvador family?! Have you lost your


    senses?!”


    Bethany seethed with anger, her teeth clenched, yet her tone held a veiled threat. “Where on earth is


    this? Let me out of here now! You’ll regret it if you don’t! How dare you mess with the Salvador family?!


    Not even Ryan Hoffman can save you from the consequences you’ll


    face!”


    Yasmin’s grin widened as she watched Bethany’s outburst.


    Unable tomunicate with her captor, Bethany got up and dashed toward the door, yelling for help.


    “Help! Someone, please help!”


    Suddenly, Bethany felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.


    Yasmin had unexpectedly raised her slender, toned leg to kick Bethany.


    The kick instantly propelled Bethany several meters away. She


    crashed heavily onto the ground, screaming out in agony as the pain reverberated through her entire


    body!
