Zach smiled. “You can say that. We’ve previously met once at a party, where you were President Crawford’s partner. I asked for your contact number, and I’ve been wanting to ask you out.” “Oh~” Janice knew very well what it meant when a man asked for a woman’s number and wanted to ask her out. She replied to him while her mind ran wild, “President Warren, you can contact me anytime if you’d like to find me, I’m always free.” Zach nodded. “Okay.” If Janice could claim a connection with Zach, even if she had to be his unpresentable mistress, she would be willing to. It was her most-used trick, after all. She would first gain the man’s good impression and trust step by step, and when she could not go any further, she would naturally devise another plan. Although Janice had only taken a few steps on the path, she had already come up with the full plan to become “Mrs. Warren”. Zach led her to the entrance of a hall and said, “I have to attend to other guests for now, so please

Janice looked up like a fool and was even more dumbfounded when she saw two police officers. “Where to?” Someone suddenly kicked her and scolded her with disgust, “Where can you go if you’ve killed someone? Pfft! B*tch!” Another person ran over and slapped her face hard. “You stole someone else’s husband, framed his legal wife, and even killed his legal wife’s mom. How can an obnoxious woman like you exist in the world!” Janice regained her senses when she was kicked and slapped. When she looked up around her, she realized that the banquet hall was filled with people — men and women in stunning outfits — who were obviously there for the birthday party. They were always present, so they watched the show, as well as when she begged for forgiveness and pleaded guilty… Janice finally understood that someone had devised a plot against her! Someone planned the same scenario to happen again to get her to plead guilty! “I didn’t kill anyone! I didn’t kill anyone!” Janice shouted.

“Jared, it has been five years, but you’re still so selfish and conceited. You want everything to be under your control, and you never consider what other people are really thinking.” Gwen finally vented her anger, which she had been suppressing for the whole night. “You’re still the old you, but I’m no longer the Gwen who stupidly liked you for ten years and was still committed to you even after tolerating your ridicules and insults! Because of you, I suffered a lot from Janice! Because of you, my mom was killed by Janice! Because of you, I made a trip to the gates of hell, my body’s still unwell, and my life has been shortened by twenty years! “You said you want to make it up to me, but how are you going to do that? Can you return my mom’s life? Can you make my illness go away? “You can’t! So you don’t deserve to demand anything from me, let alone ask me to return to you! Jared Crawford, I don’t have anything to do with you anymore. I’m setting myself free, so you should set me

“Aren’t you in prison? Why are you here?” Janice, who had somehow come out of prison, had a hideous look on her face. “That’s not important. What’s more important now is that we should settle our accounts, Gwen!” Gwen narrowed her eyes because she could not figure out if it was Zach or Janice who sent her the message. If Janice had sent it, how did she get Zach’s handphone? Therefore, Gwen backed away silently to open the distance between them, and she quickly racked her brain to come up with a plan. Nonetheless, she responded, “Our accounts? Are there unsettled accounts between us? If anything, you’re the one who owed me!” “I owed you? If you didn’t snatch my status as Mrs. Crawford, everything that followed after that wouldn’t have happened!” Janice was somewhat out of her mind. Gwen did not know what she had gone through in the prison during the four months. Gwen replied to her expressionlessly, “Do you need me to remind you? Jared only had a favorable impression of you be

Gwen’s memory after she fell into the sea was blank. She tried hard to recollect her memory, but she only recalled glaring flames. When the bomb exploded, she and Zach were pushed into the sea by Jared. The sea, which had almost taken her life away twice, protected them this time, hence they were only slightly injured. On the other hand, Jared… “Janice committed suicide, whereas Jared lost an arm,” Zach told Gwen. “...” Gwen did not know what to feel about it. It was out of her expectations. After lying in a hospital bed for two days, she finally went to Jared’s ward. Jared was having an infusion in bed at that moment, and he was pale. When Gwen saw his missing left hand, she became a little teary. “Why did you do that?” However, Jared simply smiled. Ever since Gwen warned him not to send her anything anymore, he stopped sending things, but he still wanted to see her. Therefore, Jared would go from Fuzhou to Haicheng once in a while to steal glances of her in secret
