As soon as N finished speaking, rk immediately agreed. His main priority was getting N back by his side. Everything else could be dealt withter. "Ny?a, don''t worry. I promise I won''t overstep any boundaries. I swear."


    N had heard these empty promises from him many times before and didn''t take them seriously.


    Since she was going back, she was determined to protect herself. If rk tried to force himself on her, she wouldn''t let him get away with it.


    "Okay, I''m heading back now. Drive safe," she said.


    Over the next two days, N rested and packed her things at home.


    On the day she was set to move, Vrie suddenly came to visit.


    Seeing N unharmed, Vrie sighed in relief.


    However, her expression soon turned troubled. "N, why didn''t you tell me about being kidnapped?!"


    Noticing Vrie''s disapproving look, N exined, "I thought you were going through a rough time, and I didn''t want to add to your stress. Since I''m fine, I didn''t tell you." Vrie red at her. "How could you keep something like this from me? If I didn''t know someone working at the police station, I might still be in the dark!"


    ''I''m sorry. I should have told you. I promise I won''t hide anything like this again."


    ''Is there going to be a next time?" Vrie asked.


    ''No, I mean I''ll inform you of any major issues immediately in the future," N rified.


    Vrie gave a reluctant huff at N''s sincere expression. "That''s better. But are you really okay?"


    "Yeah, just some minor injuries. Nothing serious."


    "That''s good." Vrie then noticed the packed bags and boxes in the living room and frowned. "You''re moving?"


    "Yes." N nodded and told Vrie about her n to move back to the vi,


    Vrie''s expression turned extremely grim. "N, are you crazy? rk cheated and got another woman pregnant, and you still want to go back? Are you out of your mind?" N understood Vrie''s disbelief. If someone had told her ten days ago that she would be moving back to rk''s vi, she would have thought they were insane too. "Vrie, I have reasons for moving back that I can''t share with you right now," N said,


    The Harris Pharmaceuticals incident involved too many people. Investigating it could interfere with many interests and lead to unexpected dangers, so it would be better if fewer people knew. "What could possibly make you go back to that jerk? Don''t tell me you still have feelings for him?!" Vrie


    asked,


    N was about to deny it when she noticed a gray jacket sh by at the door. The words she was about to say changed direction.


    "Actually, I still have some feelings for him. This move is conditional-if he''s willing to cut ties with his mistress, I-"


    "Enough!" Vrie interrupted sternly. "I thought you were someone who could handle rtionships with maturity. I was wrong. If you want to go back and suffer, I can''t stop you. But let me tell you: that jerk will never change!"


    "Ms. Weir, are you talking about me?" rk''s cold voice came from the doorway, his gaze icy as he


    looked at Vrie.


    Vrie sneered. "I didn''t expect you to be so self-aware. Yes, I''m talking about you, you scum!"


    rk''s expression darkened, and he exuded menace.


    N looked at him indifferently. "Since you''re here, you can start by helping me move these things downstairs."
