LOGINOne month later.In the VIP care wing of the best private rehabilitation hospital, Vincent had survived.But just as I had expected, he was completely paralyzed.The stroke had left him unable to speak or move.All he could do was lie in bed every day, staring at the ceiling with drool running from the corner of his mouth.I pushed open the door and walked in.In my hand was a freshly printed document.“Vincent, I came to see you.”I walked to the bedside and looked down at him.The moment he saw me, his dull, lifeless eyes suddenly began darting wildly.A harsh, broken sound came from his throat. It was anger. And fear.I smiled and opened the document in front of him.“These are Mandy Snow’s and Jonas Leedon’s cremation certificates.“Do you know how much trouble it took to get them out of that container that day?“They were stuck together too tightly. Their skin had frozen together. There was no way to separate them.“The staff originally tried to pull them apart by f
Flashbulbs exploded nonstop.This scene was guaranteed to become tomorrow’s headline.And a nightmare no one present would ever forget.“Ugh—”Several people at the scene couldn’t hold it in anymore. They covered their mouths and gagged.The image was too shocking. Too grotesque. Too horrifying.Two naked, twisted bodies fused together like grotesque ice sculptures.Under the harbor’s floodlights, they gave off a ghostly pale-blue sheen.“Ahhh—!!!”A shrill, piercing scream shattered the silence.Vincent stared at the two naked corpses.At the daughter he had always been proud of, now lying there without dignity, dead like an animal.At the son of his first love, whose face was frozen in a mask of terror.His mind finally broke.“Mandy! Jonas!”He tried to rush forward to hold his daughter.But the moment he approached the container, the bone-chilling cold forced him to stumble back.It was minus forty degrees inside.The very freeze he had activated himself.He reac
The tide of public opinion shifted instantly in my favor.I lifted my head, tears still clinging to my lashes, and looked at him with quiet accusation in my eyes.“You were so excited just now… so eager…“You even said it would bring good luck to the company…“Vincent, how could you accuse me like this?”One was a husband kept completely in the dark.One was an unfaithful wife chasing cheap thrills.And the third was the father who had personally pressed the “execution” button.Who was right and who was wrong was obvious to everyone.The reporters’ cameras swung toward my father-in-law, their expressions filled with disdain and morbid curiosity.Some of them even began whispering among themselves.“This old man has some nerve. He pressed the button himself and now he’s trying to blame his son-in-law?”“Exactly. Just a moment ago he was practically celebrating it.”“Unbelievable. Freezing his own daughter and godson to death. This will make quite a scandal in high society.”
At that instant—Flashbulbs exploded in rapid bursts. Shutters clicked nonstop.The reporters swarmed like sharks that had smelled blood, hammering their cameras.“Th… this… isn’t this Jonas’s hoodie?”Vincent hand trembled as he lifted the white sweatshirt from the pile of clothes.His arm froze in midair, shaking, as if he didn’t know whether to drop it or keep holding it.He had taken Jonas shopping just last week and bought that hoodie himself.At the time, he had even praised him for looking like a clean-cut college student.And now that same “college outfit” was tangled together with his daughter’s clothes in the back seat of her car.At that moment—I covered my mouth and let out a horrified cry.Tears burst out instantly, like a dam breaking.“Mandy’s clothes are in the car… Jonas’s clothes are here too…“Then where are they?!”I rushed to the car like a madman.“Mandy! Jonas! Where are you?“How could you betray me like this? What the hell is going on?!”My pe
“Psssshh—!!!”A violent burst of escaping gas roared through the air.White liquid-nitrogen vapor surged out like the breath of death, instantly swallowing the entire container.The floating comments collapsed into pure despair.[It’s over.][Naked bodies meeting liquid nitrogen. Instant freeze. No chance to struggle.][Now that’s one way to keep love fresh.][With one push of a finger, the father just sent off both his daughter and the only child of his first love.][That’s brutal… but why does it feel so satisfying?]I stood to the side, watching the thick white mist spread.A faint smile curved at the corner of my mouth.On the display screen, the temperature numbers plunged like a falling elevator.It took less than thirty seconds.Inside that container, the world had turned into a true frozen hell.I could picture what it looked like inside.The extreme cold would rip their body heat away instantly.Their skin would stick to the metal walls the moment it touched th
Vincent was completely swept up by all the flattery.He stared at the massive container, greed flashing in his eyes.This was a perfect chance to make headlines.Not only could it show off his daughter’s talent, it would also highlight his supreme status in the family.“Wonderful!”Facing the cameras, he adjusted his collar and grinned from ear to ear.“I really am blessed. I have such a capable daughter and such a thoughtful godson.“Unlike certain people who throw their weight around just because they were born rich. Can’t even leave behind an heir and only know how to drag others down.”Once again, he used me as the punchline in public.If this had been any other day, I would have shot back coldly.Or just turned around and walked off, too disgusted to deal with the old man.But today?I wasn’t angry.Not even a little.Then he waved a grand hand and declared, full of swagger,“Since Mandy put so much thought into this, I’ll personally preside over the launch ceremony
The operator hesitated.“Mr. Miller… shouldn’t we check what’s inside first?”My gaze turned sharp.“Didn’t you hear what I said?“The cargo inside is extremely valuable.“If we don’t lower the temperature immediately, it’ll spoil.”The operator shivered and didn’t dare argue again.“Rumble—”
Patrick’s face turned pale. He spread his arms wide and blocked the cabinet door.“Mr. Miller, you can’t do this! Ms. Snow hasn’t signed off on the inspection yet. This isn’t proper procedure!”I looked coldly at the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.“I’m the chairman of the Miller Group.
