“Quentin, what are you doing? You forgot to bring the money when you went over there.”

As she spoke, Vessara kept shooting Quentin meaningful looks.

She finally managed to grab him before he could attack the man, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, the commotion was enough to draw the man’s attention.

The man narrowed his eyes at Vessara before suddenly curling his lips into a mocking smile.

“Miss Barclay, y

    Hearing the voice, the man's face immediately lit up.“Boss! You’re finally here!”Vessara’s heart tightened.Her eyes swept across the room before finally landing on the figure standing in the doorway. Her entire body tensed.However, the person they had called ‘Boss’ seemed completely unaware of her presence. Instead, they walked straight toward the man.Before Vessara could react, the so-called Boss flicked the man hard on the forehead.“I told you to learn your arithmetic properly, and you still managed to miscount! What kind of idiot are you?”“Boss, I…” The man looked utterly wronged as he tried to defend himself. “It’s not entirely my fault. We’re just naturally bad at counting…”He stopped halfway through his sentence.The moment he caught the Boss’s razor-sharp gaze, he immediately fell silent and lowered his

    The three of them stopped in their tracks, seemingly unable to process what was happening.Vessara instinctively turned around and looked at the man.“You've got the money. So what? You're refusing to let us go now?”“But I already let the person go, didn't I?”There was a teasing note in the man's voice. He grinned as he looked at the three of them, clearly enjoying himself as he toyed with them.The boss's plan really was brilliant.Give them hope first, then plunge them straight into despair.He was curious to see how they would react.The man spoke leisurely. “Since I've already released her, that means our transaction is over. Now I'm simply refusing to let the three of you leave. What's wrong with that?”“You're just playing games!”Quentin's face flushed with anger. Even the arm he had wrapped around Christina's shoulder was trembling uncontrollably.Co

    “Quentin, what are you doing? You forgot to bring the money when you went over there.”As she spoke, Vessara kept shooting Quentin meaningful looks.She finally managed to grab him before he could attack the man, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.Unfortunately, the commotion was enough to draw the man’s attention.The man narrowed his eyes at Vessara before suddenly curling his lips into a mocking smile.“Miss Barclay, you really are quite the smooth talker.”“You know my last name is Barclay?”Vessara raised an eyebrow and looked straight at the man.And at that very moment, she became certain of something.This man—or rather, this entire group—had been waiting for her to show up.They had probably anticipated that she would come tonight from the very beginning.Vessara took a deep breath and raised her eyes to meet the man’s gaze.

    Quentin looked up and met Vessara's gaze. A chill ran through his entire body.For some reason, there was something different about Vessara at that moment.“I’m willing to go. It’s just…”Quentin didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he turned to look at Razen, and the meaning behind his words was obvious.Razen's face flushed with anger. But with Vessara here, he couldn't say too much to Quentin. He could only glare at him resentfully before composing himself and forcing his voice to remain gentle.“If you want to go, I can go with you. That's the most I'm willing to compromise.”Vessara thought about it for a moment before nodding. She knew Razen's temper, and getting him to compromise this much was already quite difficult.Regardless, she'd achieved what she wanted. As for what happened next, there was little they could do except leave it to fate.For some reason, though, she had a f

    In the silence, Vessara suddenly spoke.“If that’s the case, then all of you are just worried about Christina’s safety. I can go help look for her. After all, we’re both women, so those people probably won’t be as wary of me.”“No. I don’t agree.”Vessara hadn’t even finished speaking when Razen cut her off sharply.His eyes were fixed firmly on her, and there was a hint of restrained emotion in his gaze.Realizing that his reaction had been too strong, Razen turned his head away and pressed his lips together before continuing.“Let us handle the rescue. You’re already at a disadvantage compared to them. What if you only end up making things more complicated…”Although he knew it wasn’t appropriate to say something like that in front of Quentin, he simply couldn’t stand by and watch Vessara put herself in danger.He could agree to a

    The man seemed to know that someone was watching him through the surveillance footage. Slowly, he raised a finger to his lips and made a ‘shh’ gesture.Vessara stared intently at the monitor. Although she couldn't see the man's expression clearly, his gesture alone was enough for her to guess what he was thinking.Vessara suddenly took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm.When she looked at the surveillance footage again, she discovered that the man had already disappeared without a trace. She had no idea where he had gone.Vessara pressed her lips together, her thoughts impossible to read. She rubbed the spot between her eyebrows twice before finally letting out a long breath, burying the countless thoughts in her mind before shutting down the computer.Lying in bed, Vessara found herself unable to calm down no matter how hard she tried.What exactly was going on?That man was clearly extremely
