Ryan was summoned to a meeting at thepany by Logan.


    Halfway through, he received a call from Justin, asking Ryan to meet him at the vi by the Phoenix


    Lake immediately, as long as he was not dead.


    Thus, Ryan had to leave the Hoffman Group amidst curious gazes before the meeting ended.


    Ryan sped along the way to Justin’s vi.


    “What the fuck?!”.


    Before even entering the gate, he saw a thick smoke hovering over the roof, looking like a volcano was


    about to erupt. His face turned pale with fright, and he ran into the vi with all his might.


    He found Justin in the backyard, burning something in a metal bin.


    Justin stood by the fire with a pale face and indescribable sadness between his deeply furrowed brows.


    The fire illuminated his face, making him look handsome and lonely, like a statue standing in the ruins


    of a war-torn area.


    Ryan panicked and quickly approached him, asking anxiously,” Justin? Justin? What happened to you?


    What are you burning?”


    Before his words fell, Justin threw another thing into the fire.


    Ryan focused his gaze on it and was astonished to see that it was a photo of Justin and Rosalind


    together.


    “Did you bring me here after I was drugged?” Justin suddenly spoke.


    “Yeah, I only know this ce. Didn’t youe here quite often back then?”


    Ryan was still trying to figure out the situation. He said, “With the state you were in, I couldn’t send you


    back to Tideview Manor. Bringing you to my ce was inconvenient, so I settled you here.”


    Justin looked at him coldly. “Did you ask Be toe here?”


    “Yeah! When you were delirious, all you could say was her name. As your best friend, I had to help


    you! I made up a story to lure Be here.”


    ng!


    With raging, crimson eyes, Justin kicked over the burning metal bin/


    Some of the scattered sparksnded on Ryan, and he quickly blocked his face with his arms, the


    scalding sparks still burned a hole in his expensive suit, even singeing his fringe.


    “Fuck! Justin, have you gone mad? Are you trying to burn me too?” Ryan’s face flushed angrily, and he


    hurriedly patted away the sparks.


    Justin had not made a full recovery. He balled his hands into fists and breathed heavily. The sweat had


    drenched the thin shirt he wore as he red at Ryan.

    “How could you bring her here? How could you?!”


    “Here? What’s wrong with this ce?” Ryan was confused, not yet realizing the severity of the


    situation.


    “This vi was my gift to Rosalind, but you brought Be here… Are you trying to crush her heart? Do


    you want her to hate me even more?”


    Justin shouted hoarsely, and his body was trembling uncontrobly.


    His outburst stunned Ryan.


    They were like brothers that grew up together. Justin had never lost control of his emotions in front of


    him or misdirected his anger at him.


    This proved how much Justin cared about Be.


    “Justin, I really didn’t know.”


    “I’ve askedn to put this vi up for sale long ago, but it hasn’t sold yet. I’ve also asked him including


    these pho get rid of the things inside the vi, with Rosalind.”


    Justin trembled violently much pain, as if his ped his hair tightly. He was in so head were


    It was all my fault… If I knew


    Thud!
