Venus, who was already prepared, immediately took the folding knife belonging to the man in front of her with a quick movement. The man in front of Venus was so surprised, he immediately looked back at Venus.
"Shit!" The man shouted when Venus managed to cut his arm with her own knife.The other men immediately looked back at Venus as she stood up and gripped the knife of one of her friends tightly."Let me out of here and I won't tell anyone about what you're doing here," said Venus who was now alert and in a ready position to attack.One of the men smiled mockingly. "Do you think we are stupid? If you manage to leave this place then your men will surely find us and kill us," he said casually.Venus then glanced at the exit of the old factory which was currently closed. 'It looks like I won't be able to get out of this place if I don't defeat them first,' Venus thought as she gripped the knife in her hand tighter as it was her oMeanwhile, the four men who fought with Venus surrounded her. They stared at Venus for a while. "Is he really dead?" Asked the man behind the camera. One of the men replied, "It seems he is weak from the pain.""Just check his pulse, whether it's still there or already gone." Besides, we will kill him soon anyway," said the man behind the camera.Then one of the men who were currently surrounding Venus squatted down and grasped her wrist, checking her pulse. "This woman is still alive," he said after a moment of checking Venus's pulse. "This woman must be pretending to faint again like before," replied the man who was still holding the whip in his hand. Then he, who was currently standing near Venus's arm, kicked Venus's body again.However, something surprising happened: Venus quickly grabbed the leg of the man who had just kicked her. A moment later, Venus opened her eyes wide, then grinned at the men who were watching her.

Fifteen minutes passed; by this time, Venus had just arrived at the courtyard of a restaurant. She got out of the car while carrying a file in her hand. There was nothing suspicious during the trip to the restaurant; even now the restaurant courtyard was quite crowded with visitors. Venus, who felt the atmosphere around her was safe, relaxed her vigilance. She walked quickly towards the entrance of the restaurant."Excuse me, are you Mrs. Venus?" asked a woman who was currently wearing a typical waitress uniform. The woman intercepted Venus when Venus was almost at the entrance of the restaurant."Yes, I am Venus. Who are you and what's wrong?" Asked Venus, who felt strange about it.Then the woman bowed her body. "I am the waitress of this restaurant who was assigned by the manager to wait for you," replied the woman calmly."Wait for me?" Venus wrinkled her forehead."That's right, ma'am. The manager said that I should take you to one o
Seven hours later, Venus had just finished taking a shower. She sat in front of the dressing table mirror inside the walk-in-closet in her room. She stayed in front of the vanity mirror for a few minutes to think about Leon's words this afternoon."He's willing to help me, but on the condition that once I get my parents' company back, then I will officially use his last name," Venus muttered while looking at her own face in the mirror.'Doesn't that mean I'll be officially married to him, and that will keep my company within the Delmonte family? It's like I just transferred my family's company from Alan's hands to Leon's, Venus thought as she clenched her fists. But my family's company won't be able to stand without the help of others either. My family's company would be instantly destroyed if I suddenly took it away and I managed it myself because right now my family's company is already on the verge of collapse. And all this is because of Alan.'Venus sm
Venus looked back at Leon, but her current sitting position was still the same, leaning casually on the back of the chair she was sitting on. "Of course I heard about it when I was with Alan; I thought you already knew that Alan had sent some spies in your company."Leon then let go of Venus' neck. "I knew that there were some people who were Alan's spies in this company, but the drug development project was something very secret and only a few people knew about it, so of course one of the important people around me was Alan's spy, and this is something that surprised me a lot because the people I worked with in this drug development project were people I trusted a lot," he replied while looking away to think about it.Venus listened to Leon's words while rubbing her neck, which had just been pressed by Leon's hand. "Yes, maybe you should check about this if indeed the people who can find out about this project are the people you trust the most," Venus said in a ca
"Actually, Venus had another man after parting ways with you and before being with me," Alan said in a casual tone.Leon frowned at Alan's words. "What do you mean?""There's one man she'll probably never forget in her life for getting her body before me. I was surprised to hear his confession, but I accepted him wholeheartedly because I chose to love him," Alan replied while glancing at Leon for a moment."Did Venus not tell you who that man was?" Leon asked calmly."I didn't let Venus say it because at the time she looked distressed when she was about to say that person. But with her current attitude, this could backfire on you, so I wanted to tell you this so that you can be careful from this side," said Alan casually.'So he wants to ruin mine and Venus' relationship from this side,' Leon thought with a cynical smile.'But it's a shame that he doesn't know who the man who won Venus' heart was for the first time,' he thought.
