By nightfall, the parking lot of the hotel was no longer hustling lively.
Only a few passersby were left, along with the occasional sound of tires as private cars drove out
Everyone was going back to their homes.
Jason walked to the edge of the parking area to find his car.
Just as he unlocked the car with his keys, a figure stepped out from behind the nearly vehicle. “Hey, Brother.”
Upon hearing the voice, Jason turned his gaze without any expression. “Aren’t you going
“I have something to confirm with you,” said the figure.
back yet?”
Jason frowned a bit at her words. He had seen her at the banquet and knew what she wanted to ask, “Yulia, just focus on your life. Some things are out of your concern
Yulia, knowing Jason’s temperament, stayed silent and nodded slightly.
She stood still, watching the taillights of his car disappear, and then turned back to her car.
Inside her car. Yulia gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The scene from her childhood, when she knocked over the photo frame, kept replaying in her mind.
Yulia murmured to herself, “Who Cherise is and what is the relationship between her and the woman in the picture.”
At Glenshire Gardens, Cherise had just finished freshening up when there was a knock at the door.
She glanced at the wall clock and thought, ‘No doubt. It could be no other than him at this time!
She opened the door without hesitation to see Morris in his casual loungewear, his hair slightly damp, holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
Morris looked at Cherise, who was dressed in a simple, cool, off white satin slip dress.
Involuntarily raising an eyebrow, he shook the wine bottle in his hand. “With your boyfriend around, there’s no need to worry. Haye a drink, okay?”
Cherise chuckled, nodding. “Come on in!”
At 1 AM, by the floor–to–ceiling windows, a man and a woman sat on the floor, their glasses gently clinking, without speaking.
The lights were softly
low, and time seemed peaceful still.
But later that night, Morris regretted it.
Cherise kept holding onto him, touching him all over, and wouldn’t even let him go to the bathroom.
She pulled out a pack of silver needles, eyeing him below, saying she wanted to help him out.
That was impossible! With all those needles, he’d probably end up having ‘performance issues forever. After two long hours of tension, Cherise ran out of energy and flopped onto the bed, falling asleep.

[Wait, didn’t they just get engaged yesterday? How is the engagement already canceled?]
[The live stream was cute halfway through. Can anyone who was there tell us what happened?]
[I want to know, too. This situation is so strange. The engagement was heavily publicized yesterday and was suddenly canceled now. Did we watch it for nothing?]
[I’m so curious, waiting for anyone in the know to spill the beans!]
My friend’s parents went to the party. When they came back, they didn’t say a word, just told my friend not to ask questions.]
[Reading the comment instantly piqued my curiosity.]
However, no one revealed the reason the entire day. Some media tried to offer suggestions to both parties, but no one responded.
Night fell soon. The darkness of night descended.
In the grim dungeon of Betrico, a slender, shadowy figure slipped unnoticed inside the iron cell holding Mandy.
Glancing at Mandy, who was sitting on the wooden bed, head down and lost in thought, devoid of her former glory, the figure walked over nonchalantly.
Seeing the sudden pair of feet, Mandy quickly lifted her head.
When she saw who it was, her eyes widened in fear, and she shrank back. “It’s you, Cherise! What are you doing here? Haven’t you done enough to ruin us already?”
“You witch! If I’d known you were this ruthless, I’d have dealt with you just like your wretched mother a long time ago,” said Mandy.
Cherise chuckled softly at these words.
That laugh echoed ominously through the empty dungeon.
Terrified, Mandy hugged herself tightly, watching Cherise approach step by step. She stammered, “Stay back! What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me?
“I’m warning you, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here. Even if you kill me, you won’t escape, and my brother

Cherise was poker–faced, but her eyes held a chilling coldness. Hah, of course, 111 handle the vendetta of my mother myself.”
“And I’m not just skilled in medicine: I’ve already hacked the surveillance here.
“As for your brother, don’t worry, his turn will come.”
After saying that, without waiting for Mandy to react, Cherise dive a slender silver needle into her h
