Meanwhile...Inside Holloway Holdings...Ramon sat behind his desk, reading through a contract.A knock sounded on the office door."Come in."Daniel walked in carrying a file. He placed it on the table and, without waiting for Ramon to ask why he was there, began his report."The verdict has been delivered. Miss Josh has been sentenced to two years in prison," Daniel informed him.Ramon's expression didn't change.He simply nodded.The sentence was fair.He hadn't interfered by using his power. If he had, she would have received a much longer sentence. He had allowed the court to decide Wanda's punishment."What about her father?" he asked quietly.Daniel understood who he meant."Mr. Josh didn't create a scene. He accepted the court's decision."Ramon closed the file and nodded.He felt relieved that Andrew hadn't tried to make things difficult for himself. At least he had listened to him and accepted the one-time payment Ramon had given him.After a brief silence, Ramon looked at D

Laura lowered her head. The red handprint on her cheek was still visible. The entire warehouse remained silent.Kelsey didn't speak immediately.She calmly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Laura. Her movements were slow and composed. There wasn't a trace of anger on her face anymore. Somehow, that calmness frightened Laura even more.Ramon stood quietly a few steps behind Kelsey. He didn't interrupt. He simply watched.Kelsey crossed one leg over the other and looked at Laura."Let's not waste time," Kelsey said slowly. "How well you answer my questions will determine whether you leave here alive."Laura slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Why did you want me dead?" Kelsey asked in a low voice. "Don't say because you hate me. I hate you as well, but I didn't come after you."Laura's lips trembled. "I..."Kelsey raised a hand, stopping her."Think carefully before you answer." She leaned forward. "You arranged the hit-and-run accident that almost kil

After taking her bath, Kelsey changed into her nightwear. For several minutes, she sat quietly on the edge of her bed. She had told Ramon they would talk when they returned home.But after they arrived, they had dinner almost immediately, and before she could bring up the conversation, Ramon had already gone upstairs.Taking a deep breath, Kelsey stood up and walked out of her room.She needed to have that conversation with Ramon tonight. They would both leave early for work tomorrow.The mansion was quiet.Soon, she stopped in front of Ramon's bedroom. She knocked twice.There was no answer.Kelsey waited for a few seconds. Maybe he had already fallen asleep.She was about to turn around when the door suddenly opened.Ramon stood behind it. His hair was still wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower. A white towel was wrapped around his waist, and his usual cold and serious expression was replaced by surprise."Kelsey..." he called, clearly not expecting to see her stan

Jason was still holding Ruby's hand as they reached his car.He opened the passenger door for Ruby as usual before walking around to the driver's seat.The car slowly pulled away from the building, leaving Stephen still standing there.Ruby glanced at him."You are always on time," she praised him, happy that he didn't keep her waiting.But Jason didn't say anything.His eyes stayed on the road, and although his expression was calm, there was something about him that didn't look right.Ruby's eyes twitched at his lack of reaction.She studied him for a few seconds before exhaling softly."You shouldn't take what Stephen said to heart," she said gently, thinking he was upset because of Stephen's words.Of course, that must be it.No man would be happy after being talked down to like that. But he shouldn't feel bad because of it. To her, Stephen was just being an arrogant person.Jason gave her a brief glance before returning his eyes to the road. "I'm not bothered by that."Ruby didn't

(Two days later) The black Bentley came to a stop outside the warehouse. Ramon remained seated, waiting for Kelsey to respond to the message he had sent. "I'm at the warehouse." Her reply came almost immediately. "Alright." It was a simple message, but there was an understanding between them. Before coming to the warehouse, he had been on his way home from the company when one of his men informed him that the phone given to Laura had finally rung. He decided to stop by the warehouse first and had texted Kelsey about it. His long strides echoed through the empty building as he walked inside. The man in charge hurried toward him. "The phone rang again about five minutes ago," he reported. "Neither we nor she answered it." "Hmm," Ramon hummed as he sat down on a chair to wait for the phone to ring again. Laura immediately looked up. The moment she saw Ramon, fear filled her eyes. She had spent the last two days tied to that chair. She hadn't slept. Every time she c
