Semua Bab Love in the dark: Bab 321 - Bab 330

Rose was lying in bed with a sheet mask on during all this, the night owl that she was. Seeing how Zoey stared at her phone, she asked curiously, “Why is someone texting you at this hour?”Zoey stared nervously at Laurence’s text message. She sucked in a breath, tamping down her pain before she turned to answer Rose, “It’s my former superior.”Rose’s eyes widened at Zoey’s answer as she sat up straight. “Holy moly, that ex-superior of yours is nuts. He’s still nitpicking at you even though it’s past one already?”Zoey switched her phone off and hummed, “Yep. I’m just gonna ignore him.”Rose plucked her sheet mask off before getting up to wash her face. “It’s not that I want to cuss him out or anything, but look at the time! And besides, you’re no longer working under him anyway,” she said.“He’s hard to shake off,” Zoey explained in exasperation.Hearing this, Rose felt like her jerk of a boss was a lot more reasonable. At least he didn’t bother her in the middle of the night wit

“Mr. Scott is already being generous. “After all, Miss Jenner’s wish to cease the agreement before the stipulated time period is in violation of the contract. The law will be on my client’s side if he decides to pursue the case in court. Every expense from the last two years has been accounted for and clearly shown here. “If I may be frank, it is not a small sum at all. The medical expenses for Miss Jenner’s mother alone were a million dollars a month. There are also other expenses paid. If we followed the original contract to the letter, she would need to pay back ten times the owed sum, instead of just two million dollars.”Damien’s arguments might sound reasonable, but they didn’t hold up under scrutiny. The contract only specified Zoey’s obligations. Laurence’s weren’t mentioned. All he had done was cause both physical and emotional damage to Zoey. As such, she had the right to end the contract earlier than expected. Even if Laurence didn’t admit to the damage he had caused he

Shawn entered a treatment room. He changed into a paper gown and lay on the bed. As he stared at the ceiling, no one could tell what he was thinking.The doctor was still hesitant as he asked Shawn one last time, “Are you sure you want to do this?”Shawn grunted in affirmation.Before starting, the doctor reminded Shawn, “We cannot guarantee the procedure’s success. It might take many sessions over an extended period.”Shawn had heard the doctors say that before. If one session wasn’t enough, then two sessions. And if those two sessions didn’t suffice, stretch it to ten. Shawn had the patience to spare. Since those were his memories, he didn’t want them to be lost forever. He slowly closed his eyes, his patience beginning to wane. “Let’s start.”Electroshock therapy was undoubtedly a cruel procedure. While it was being administered, he would feel nothing other than sheer agony. The procedure may seem simple, but the shocks were persistent. Those constant jolts of electricity would

When Laurence received that phone call from George, he hadn’t sat on his hands and did nothing. Instead, he looked up Zoey’s movements for that day. Getting his hands on the necessary camera footage wasn't difficult, and finding the taxi she had gotten into had also been easy. She had been kidnapped while on her way to Shawn’s house, and there were cameras along that road.It wasn’t like Laurence had never noticed Shawn’s animosity toward Zoey, with how disgusted he was to even so much as look at her. Leaving her alone even when she begged for help was definitely something Shawn would do. Laurence had never brought this up with Shawn before. After all, Shawn and Zoey had nothing in common then. They weren’t friends, and they certainly weren’t married either. They were enemies who observed each other from opposing sides. It wasn’t all that strange, and there was nothing to berate them about. It wasn’t Laurence’s responsibility, after all. However, when did Shawn start having feelings

Laurence’s words did not leave any room for doubt. He had made himself clear. It happened so quickly that Zoey didn’t have time to react. She stood still, watching him quietly. She was shocked by what he had said. “Psychiatric assessment report? What does he mean by that? Is it a document issued by the hospital to prove that I am mentally ill?” she thought. Zoey had only seen such things happen in soap operas. She did not expect Laurence to be so cruel. “Psychiatric assessment report?” she repeated in a daze. Laurence stared at Zoey’s pale face, which contrasted with her red lips. Her eyes looked red and watery, but he was unsure if she was tearing up or if the lighting made them appear that way. However, it did not matter. Her pitiful appearance would no longer fool him. It was easy for a man like him to be ruthless. Laurence raised her chin and sneered, “Don’t look at me with teary eyes. Did you look at them like this too?” Zoey had mixed feelings. It was hard for her to erase he
