"Aaron, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Selena kicked and struggled. She reached out to scratch Aaron's face but couldn't reach him!Aaron carried her down to the next floor, approached a door, entered a fingerprint code, and walked inside. Without saying a word, he threw Selena onto the sofa!"Ah!" Selena let out a short cry, only to find herself pinned beneath him!Her eyes widened slightly. "What are you doing?"Aaron gazed down at her. "Selena, it’s not just once or twice—do you really think my patience is limitless?"Selena suddenly felt a sense of danger. She swallowed hard, stopped struggling, and tried to calm both her emotions and his."Aaron, I was just joking with you. Do you really need to react like this?"Aaron responded coldly, "Do you realize how serious the consequences of this joke could be?"Selena pouted. "Even if it wasn't a joke, what does it have to do with you? Ave and that scumbag Lucas are already divorced. She has the right to be with whoever she wan

"Miss Young, hello. My name is Mason West.""And I'm Jason West."As soon as they finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.Aveline asked, "That's it?"Mason and Jason exchanged glances before Mason dryly replied, "That's it."Aveline couldn't help but laugh. Then she asked, "What are your skills? And what are your salary expectations?"Mason and Jason exchanged another look and then both turned to Russell.Russell sighed and said, "Have a seat first."Mason and Jason sat down.Russell briefly introduced their situation and concluded, "As for the salary, just give them what you think is appropriate."Aveline shook her head, saying, "I can't just decide on a whim. They're responsible for my safety, and it isn’t exactly safe to be around me. This job can be quite dangerous. Whatever you're paying them, I'll double it."Russell raised an eyebrow, "You’re being so generous? Can I apply to be your bodyguard too?"Mason and Jason immediately became nervous.No way!Russ

Vivian's expression darkened. "What do you mean by that?"Aveline let out a light scoff. "You can't figure it out? I'm mocking you. All you can do is sit in an office and throw out sarcastic remarks. If you were braver, you'd be an internet troll. Is that all you're capable of?"Vivian abruptly stood up, her face twisted with anger. "Aveline, do you think I'm afraid of you? You have no one backing you up now!""Oh? So what?" Aveline's expression remained calm. "Are you planning to kill me?"Vivian gritted her teeth, feeling incredibly frustrated. This woman used to stay quiet, but lately, whenever Vivian mocked her, Aveline would retaliate!And she couldn't even match her!Aveline looked away. "Instead of wasting time being jealous, why don't you focus on improving your performance? Jealousy won't make you better; it'll only make you uglier.""You—!"Vivian tried to rush at her, but two people quickly held her back.The atmosphere in the office grew tense as if a fight could break out

The tide started to rise.The distant shipping containers loomed like monsters in the darkness, slowly swallowing anyone trapped inside. Aveline stared calmly at the scene, though the encroaching darkness made it hard for her to clearly see the tide's advance.Her mind drifted to the time when she was trapped inside a container, her hands and feet bound, filled with despair and helplessness.She watched as death approached, powerless to stop it.“Sophia, is this how you feel now?” Aveline thought and lowered her gaze slightly, choosing not to look any longer.Just then, a phone appeared in front of her."Hmm?" Aveline looked at Russell in confusion.A faint smile appeared on Russell's strikingly handsome yet cold face. "I installed a camera on top of that container. You can watch Sophia's entire descent into despair."He gazed into her eyes. "Do you want to see it?"Aveline was taken aback, not expecting him to have gone to such lengths.Russell added, "No need to be shocked. I just be

Brian became flustered. "Miss Winter, please don’t cry. No one’s going to let you die, so please don’t cry..."Sophia looked at him through her tear-filled eyes. "But you came to save me. What if you hadn’t? I really would have died!"Brian stammered, "Uh… well, I…"Sophia tightened her grip on his arm. "Will you help me? I really don’t want to die..."Brian remained silent for a long moment before asking, "Miss Winter, what do you want to do?"A faint glint of triumph flashed in Sophia's eyes before she quickly replied, "Will you protect me?"Brian frowned. "No, I only take orders from Mr. Tudor."Sophia's face fell as she lowered her head. "But if you don’t protect me, I’ll end up dead. She’s going to kill me because I took Lucas away..."Brian furrowed his brows, sensing something wasn’t right. After another long pause, he said, "Let me… think about it, okay? Besides, Miss Winter, this place isn’t safe. Let me take you home first."Sophia nodded. "Okay."The car drove away.Meanwhil
