I Hope You Burn Chapter 10
After regaining consciousness, Janine shed tears, her hoarse voice thick with regret.“I thought Mark would never hurt me. Back then, when I suffered from heatstroke, he carried me all the way to the hospital, his feet raw from running,” she choked out. “I never thought… that in the end, he would ruin my life!”Hearing that, Mr. O'Connor slammed his cane to the ground with a furious thud. “You’ve been deceived! Will was the one who saved you! He stayed awake for three whole days to care for you. When you finally woke up, he had no time to see you because he threw himself straight back into the survival research. He couldn’t bear to see you suffer through the apocalypse!”Janine froze. When reality hit, she broke down, sobbing uncontrollably, venting all her grief and guilt at once.“If you loved me, why were you competing with me over the family fortune?” she screamed. “Mark saw it with his own eyes. You only agreed to the marriage because of the O’Connor family inheritance and the

If Mark’s theory and the refrigerated warehouse could really be applied on a large scale, humanity might actually stand a chance against the apocalyptic heatwave.For a moment, nobody knew who started it, but the word “leader” echoed across the election hall. Janine lifted her chin proudly and walked toward the leader’s seat, her hand resting on Mark’s arm. However, just as she was about to sit down, the main doors were slammed open.Mr. O'Connor stormed in, eyes blazing with fury, flanked by a group of bodyguards. Janine instinctively glanced at me, her face a mix of anger and disbelief.“Grandpa, did Will complain to you again?” she asked. “I won’t let you touch Mark. He’s our family’s great contributor!”Before her words could fully land, a sharp slap struck her face. Her eyes instantly filled with tears.Mr. O'Connor panted heavily, shouting before she could react, “Shut up! I’ve been careful all my life, yet I’ve raised a foolish girl like you! You’ve been deceived, and you’r

On the day the base elected its leader, I wore the newly developed temperature-insulated jacket and walked into the venue behind Zoe. The election was organized by the O’Connor family and held inside Mark’s refrigerated warehouse.One by one, the influential figures of Central City stepped out of their cars. They no longer cared about etiquette or composure. The moment their doors opened, they rushed straight into the refrigerated warehouse just to cool down. Their vehicles had been packed with ice, but before they could arrive at the O’Connors’ estate, all of it had melted. That was how unbearable the heat had become.The moment I stepped into the hall, a hand yanked urgently at my tie. Janine stood there, her expression dark as she glanced at Zoe walking away from my side.“Will, you’ve got some nerve,” she snapped. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere, and you’re hanging around with Zoe? Do you know she’s my competitor?”She was wearing a white gown that looked almost like a we

“Janine, what are you doing up here?”Mark’s face appeared in her line of sight.Janine pinched her fingertips hard, forcing herself to stay calm. Then, she put on a strained smile and asked what he wanted.Mark smiled and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Of course, to tell you the good news. I won the bet. Grandpa has agreed for us to be together. Right now, Central City’s doomsday base is already taking shape. All that’s left is the leadership election. Once you become the leader, we’ll hold our wedding. How does that sound?”Janine froze.It wasn’t until Mark frowned slightly and reminded her that she answered hoarsely, “Okay.”Sensing that something was off with her mood, Mark quickly changed the subject.“My refrigerated warehouse is running perfectly now. We can move in anytime. These next couple of days, I’ll take you out to get more sun. With my refrigerated warehouse and your heat-resistant physique, you’ll definitely win the election. When that happens,

Janine collapsed to the ground and struggled fiercely twice before finally regaining some strength. Trembling, she pushed herself up, swaying as she stood. The thought that I might still be buried beneath the concrete made her heart nervous.“Grandpa,” she demanded, her voice tight, “didn’t Will see you the night of the bet just to beg you to make Mark lose?”Mr. O'Connor’s face darkened instantly. His sharp gaze swept over Mark’s tense expression before he let out a cold snort.“When have I ever done something like that?” he barked. “Will couldn’t bear to put you in a difficult position. He chose to give in for your sake!”Janine’s face turned even paler. An unnamed heat flared up inside her body, restless and suffocating. All she wanted, for no reason she could explain, was for me to appear in front of her and take her into the shelter.She took a step forward and suddenly remembered that she had smashed my shelter. Only then did she realize that the complicated look in my eyes

Mark smiled knowingly.“He’s never gone through heat-resistant training. Of course, he thinks the heat is unbearable.”Then, his tone shifted.“But the priority right now is dealing with the damage he did to my refrigerated warehouse. Grandpa is coming tomorrow to inspect the results. I can’t bear the thought of you actually marrying someone like him.”Janine’s eyes filled with emotion. Then, she turned to me, her expression turning ice-cold.“Will, don’t think your scheme worked! So what if Grandpa likes you? I’d rather walk away from the family with nothing, even if it means being scorched to death in this heat, than abandon Mark and marry you! If you don’t explain yourself, don’t even think about walking out of here in one piece!”She dragged me down from the rubble.After inspecting the ruins, Mark grabbed Janine’s hand in indignation.“Janine, the foundation is completely ruined because of whatever trick Will used. Even if we rebuild on top of it, it’ll collapse again. And
