Yale seemed to have completely lost his mind. While keeping Selise locked away, he also launched a relentless campaign against her family's business.Lane Group had already been struggling with serious cash flow problems brought on by difficulties in its industry. The only reason the company had managed to stay afloat was that Selise and her father had secured Sullivan Group's support. The investment had given them some breathing room, and other parties looking to move against the Lane family had backed off out of respect for the Sullivans.This time, however, Sullivan Group was the first to withdraw its investment. Sensing that the tide had turned, the others quickly resumed their attacks on Lane Group.It wasn't long before the company was in serious trouble.Richard repeatedly tried calling his daughter, but she never answered. Eventually, he lost his temper and hurled his phone against the wall.Meanwhile, Selise woke to pain radiating from every part of her body. She looked aroun

When Yancy arrived at the Nolan house, Riley was sitting on the couch watching TV."You're back?" she greeted him.Daniel looked up as well.

Her face and body were covered in bruises.She got up numbly and followed the guard to the visitation area. The moment she saw Yale, however, she recoiled in terror and grabbed the guard's arm."Please! I don't want to see him! Please take me back!"The guard shook her off and turned to Yale."Since you've signed the paperwork requesting leniency, I'll process her release. You can take her home."Yale nodded.Hearing this, Selise immediately assumed he'd finally come to his senses. She rushed forward and clutched his clothes."Yale! I knew you'd come to save me! Please, get me out of here. I can't stand another day in this place!"Selise had grown up spoiled and pampered, never having experienced anything remotely like this. She'd struggled to adjust to life in detention, and both the guards and her cellmates had taken turns beating her, leaving her battered an
