"You're a smart one, Ms. York. I believed that you'd make the right decision, which was why I had to meet you." Kurt had a smug, victorious smile on his face.Pamela only realized that she had fallen for his trap when he'd pulled out the memorandum of understanding that he had already prepared. However, she was currently his prey, and she was at his mercy."Do you think that you can escape the arm of the law just like this?" Pamela asked. She didn't look at the document's contents. There was no point anyway, since she would still need to sign it. Reading it would only make her heartbreak worse. As she reluctantly signed the document, she said, "Don't think that you'll get away with this!"Pamela had to compromise because of Kurt's threat, but what of the others? As long as there was another person who disagreed, then Kurt's plan would fall apart."Whatever you say. It's all worth nothing in the end. Since we've known each other for so long, I'll forgive your transgressions," Ku

But Samuel came prepared and sent Woody a photo of Pamela's private settlement agreement. Woody recognized her signature at first glance.Woody then relaxed his scrunched up brows and took the elevator up to Helen's office. At that moment, Helen was buried in work. When she heard a knock on her door, she said, "Please come in!"Her look of surprise quickly turned into embarrassment when Woody entered. She was obviously thinking of the incident last night. What would she say to him if he brought it up?"Last night—" Woody began.Helen loudly gasped. She didn't expect her worst fears to come true."What's wrong?" Woody approached her in concern. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to give you a checkup?""No. I'm fine. Go ahead," Helen bowed her head and said. But Woody didn't think much of her reaction and asked, "Did you notice a guy beside Jeremiah at the bar last night?"Helen slowly raised her head with a puzzled look. "Are you talking about Master Ramos?""N

"What are we having for dinner? Since the both of you are locals, you should have some excellent recommendations. I'll simply go with your choices!"Miranda and Helen were huddled together on a couch. And despite Miranda's age, the pair had become the best of friends just shortly into the afternoon.No one knew of Miranda's actual age, and the only person that did was probably Mr. Snider.But Miranda couldn't blame people for not being able to tell her age. After all, if a woman looked after herself well, then her age would always remain a mystery!No one would believe them if they told them about the age gap. And the more oblivious ones would even think that they were sisters!Helen was just about to suggest that they head down to Royal Delicacies when Woody's phone started ringing.Upon seeing that it was an unknown number, he promptly declined the call.But soon, his phone started ringing again.Nevertheless, he declined it again without hesitation.However, his phone rang

"Shane, Mindy, and Sasha, since I'm here, there's no way I'd simply leave you guys behind." Woody gave them a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, I promise to get you all back home safely.""But we're outnumbered, and they have guns!" Woody's reluctance to leave made Shane anxious. He exclaimed, "You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. You must not risk your life for us!"Sasha yelled, "Quickly leave! Dad's right. Forget about us!"I was wrong before, Woody! You've done so much for me, and I owe you a debt that I can never repay. So, you must leave. I'm more than willing to sacrifice my life for your safety!"Suddenly, Kurt began clapping as he wore a sinister smirk. "How touching! Who would've thought that a convict like you would have such deep connections?"Your entire family must be blind. Life is so precious. How could you not care?"He then turned to Woody. "Woody, this family of three cares about you so deeply. Are you sure that you're willing to let

"You already know what happened four years ago. T-There's nothing to talk about." Kurt averted his gaze. It was clear that he was hiding something.Woody stabbed Kurt's leg with the knife. It went through his leg and reached the seat of the chair, and Kurt let out a cry.With a cold gaze, Woody said, "I'm impatient. You shouldn't try to play any tricks. It won't benefit you."Kurt immediately became obedient and said, "I'll tell you everything!"Then, he came clean.The more Woody listened, the deeper his frown became.He didn't expect the York family to have done so many shady acts behind his back.Woody had always thought that the person who had gotten molested back then was Pamela. That was why he had agreed to take the blame for Brutus.But now, he learned that the person who was molested was someone else.It was Brutus' girlfriend who was invited to be the bridesmaid. It wasn't Pamela.As Brutus was troubled by a lawsuit and was afraid of being punished, Pamela chose t
