    Seeing rk’s pleading look, N wondered how he had the nerve to seek her out. And to ask her to help for the sake of the love they once shared?


    If she could go back in time, she would have thrown the flowers right back at him and told him to get lost when he confessed his feelings.


    “I can’t help you. You caused this, and you should face the consequences,” she said.


    She brushed past him and headed for the elevator.


    N had barely taken two steps when he grabbed her hand.


    rk’s eyes were bloodshot, and his once–handsome face was contorted with rage, making him look somewhat terrifying.


    “N, are you really this heartless? When we divorced, you took over 700,000 dors from me, and now you won’t even ask Damon for help? I’ll ask you one more time: Are you going to help me or not?!” rk’s eyes were wide with resentment, and his breathing was ragged.


    N’s heart sank.


    rk was clearly agitated. Who knew what he might do if she refused?


    “Fine… I’ll talk to him for you. Just calm down…” she coaxed.


    rk hesitated, skeptical. “Really?”


    N nodded, trying to keep him calm.


    “Really, I’ll go see him right now,” she said.


    rk seemed to rx a little, but then he remembered how she had tricked him before, and his anger red up again. “You’re lying! You’ve lied to me before!


    Seeing the dangerous look in his eyes, N involuntarily trembled.


    “I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you cane with me,” she said.


    rk smirked. “Yeah, I think I should go with you.”


    N thought she had him calmed down. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she felt the cold edge of a knife against her waist. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    It was chilly that morning, so she had thrown on a coat before leaving. Now, with rk holding the knife against her waist, it looked as though he was simply putting his arm around her.


    N cursed inwardly. rk was truly insane!


    “What are you doing?” she asked.


    “I <i>don’t </i>trust you. And how do I know what you’ll do when you see Damon? This way, I can make sure you’ll really plead for me,” rk exined.


    N’s palms were sweaty with nerves.

    With rk already threatening her with a knife, there was no telling what else he might do<i>. </i>


    “I can only ask him to help you, but we’re not together anymore. He’s involved with Reba now, so he probably won’t listen to me,” N rified.


    “Don’t worry. He will listen to you. Stop talking and move!” rk ordered, pulling her toward the elevator.


    From a distance, they appeared to be a couple walking closely together.


    In the basement, several Prospectus Technology employees discreetly <i>took </i>photos while waiting for the elevator and shared them in thepany group chat. Soon, gossip began to spread.


    [No way, is N really that shady? She just broke up with Mr. Damon, and now she’s back with her ex- husband…]


    [If I remember correctly, her ex–husband is already remarried. So, does that mean she’s willingly being the other woman?]


    [She sure has some tricks, huh? ying both Sumner men like this.]


    Before long, the photo reached Damon’s phone.


    Seeing the two of them looking so close, his face darkened immediately.


    He stood up, about to go downstairs and confront N, when Spencer knocked and entered the office.


    “Mr. Damon… Ms. Jayston and Mr. rk are here…” Spencer informed cautiously.


    Damon frowned and said coldly, “Let them in!”


    As N and rk entered the office, Damon immediately sensed something was off.
