    N stopped in her tracks and looked at Damon. “Oh? So?”


    The coldness in her eyes made Damon’s gaze dim slightly, and his voice lowered. “Nothing. I just thought you wouldn’t give him another chance.”


    “If you have nothing else to say, Mr. Sumner, please stop bothering me in the future,” N replied.


    His obvious attempt to probe her feelings felt pointless to her. She had no intention of giving rk another chance, and she certainly wasn’t going to give Damon one either.


    Back home, N decided to stay indoors for a while to avoid running into anyone from the Sumners or Jordyn. She also began considering whether she should rent a ce in Capitarnia to focus on preparing for her exams.


    After all the entanglements with rk and Jordyn<b>, </b>she strongly felt that staying in Saintornia would only lead to more harassment.


    With that thought in mind, she picked up the phone and called Caroline.


    rk had just arrived at his vi when he spotted a disheveled Jordyn standing under a streemp. She looked pale and utterly exhausted.


    The moment Jordyn saw rk’s car, she rushed forward and threw herself in front of it.


    Startled, rk mmed on the brakes.


    The car stopped just inches from her, and he jumped out, furious. Grabbing her by the arm, he yanked her to the side. “Jordyn, if you want to die, do it somewhere else. Stop disgusting me with your presence!”


    With a thud, Jordyn dropped to her knees in front of him.


    Tears filled her reddened eyes as she looked up at him. “Mr. Sumner, I did everything you asked. Please, I beg you, let my family go.


    “My father has asthma–I’m scared something will happen to him. I know I was wrong. I’ll do anything you want. Just let them go.”


    Her plea was full of desperation, but rk’s gaze remained cold. “I told you: as long as N doesn’t forgive you, I won’t let your family go.” This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    “Mr. Sumner…” Jordyn reached out, trying to grab rk’s sleeve, but he recoiled in disgust.


    “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands,” he spat.


    Just thinking about how Jordyn had slept with other men while they were together made rk feel sick to his stomach. His expression of disgust deepened.


    How blind had he been to think Jordyn was better than N?


    Now, looking at Jordyn, he realized she wasn’t even worthy of beingpared to a single finger of N’s.


    Seeing the loathing in rk’s eyes, Jordyn trembled. She gripped the hem of her clothes, tears rolling


    down her cheeks as a cold chill spread through her heart.


    She had been with rk for so long. Aside from the matter of the child, she had always been sincere. Yet now, he despised her to the point of wanting nothing to do with her.


    “rk, do you really have no feelings for me at all? Are you trying to drive me to despair?” she questioned.


    “Feelings? We were just a business transaction. There’s no such thing as feelings,” rk replied.


    Without another nce at her, he got back in his car and drove off.


    Jordyn didn’t chase after him. Her tear–filled eyes followed his car until it disappeared into the driveway of the vi, the gate slowly closing behind it.


    For a moment, she stood there dazed before finally turning to leave.


    Back home, the first thing Jordyn did was dial Reba’s number.


    “You said before that you wanted to take down N. I’m willing to help, and I can take the fall <i>for </i>whatever happens. But you have to promise me one thing,” she said.


    Reba was lounging on the balcony of her room when she heard that. She raised an eyebrow. “And what’s the condition?”


    “I want to use N to force rk to let my family go. As long as my family is safe, I’ll do whatever you want,” Jordyn stated.
