Evelyn had regained her freedom just as she wanted, but she suddenly lost the strength to make even a single move.She was still on her knees even after a few seconds, looking at no one in particular.“Leave, Evelyn…” Stephen’s voice reminded her that he was standing right in front of her, and she looked up at him.Nothing had changed about his countenance, especially the rage that had darkened his expression, causing her to look away at once.Evelyn managed to push herself up, but it took her a while before she could get a grip on herself.She turned to look at Helena, and unable to handle the rage she saw in her eyes, she looked away, facing the door.It suddenly looked as though the distance had increased by several meters, and the cringe that gripped her couldn’t let her make even the slightest move.Stephen cleared his throat, and even though Evelyn pretended not to know that he was trying to get his attention, she didn’t try to look at him.But that didn’t seem like it was going

Deep down, Helena could tell that Clifford was lying, but he seemed to be more interested to knowing why Stephen was silent, holding onto his smirk.She cleared her throat, slowly turning to look at him.“Don’t you have anything to say to these accusations from your former boss?” She inquired, trying to play along with Stephen.Clifford scoffed, and before Stephen could say even a word, he was already to break the silence, still glaring at him.“That’s because he has nothing to say, Miss Helena…” He snapped, refusing to let go of his glower.“He knows that everything I have said is the truth, that’s why he has nothing to say…” He paused for a few seconds just to be certain that he had Stephen’s attention before he continued.“I hope you told Miss Helena here that your wife divorced you because of your inability to act as a man should. You couldn’t even get to keep your marriage, how else are you going to be able to keep this job?” He snorted, turning to Helena.“I think you should sen

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE“But I think that Mr. Heath should see this for himself. He is the one who has the final say. I am just here as a representative…”Clifford was silent for a while, and even when he parted his lips, he found it very difficult to say even a word.At that moment, the tension inside his body was beginning to rise gradually, and even when he cleared his throat in an attempt to get a grip on himself, it didn’t look like he was going to be able to do that.“Miss Helena…” He took a deep breath, turning to take a look at Stephen.He glared at him as usual, wondering why he seemed too composed at that moment.When he finally returned his gaze to Helena, he continued with a voice that was barely above a whisper, laced with desperation and nervousness.“Could you please tell me what Mr. Heath is like? I want to know what he likes, the kind of things that I can do to impress him. Anything at all that can help me bag this contract. I really need this deal, and u promise to compe

He sniggered, shaking his head slowly.“Don’t tell me that you think that I could possibly kill you with a glass of water…” He stared with a wry smile and even though Clifford said nothing, it was very obvious that several thoughts were running through his mind.Stephen scoffed, drawing his attention at once.“Well…” He cleared his throat, still holding onto his wry smile.“If I were in your shoes, I would also have the same thoughts going on inside my head. You were a very mean boss, and no one deserves the kind of things you did to me…”Clifford bent his face to the ground again, covered by guilt and nervousness. His blood was suddenly beginning to flow faster than before, and his heart beating like racing horses.“Go ahead and drink the water. I don’t have any reason to kill you, at least not yet…” Stephen said with a frown, and even though Clifford was still full of doubt, it suddenly felt like his fate depended on the water.He looked at the water inside the glass like he was

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE“I am sorry about that, Mr. Heath…” Helena apologized at once, but because he wasn’t sure of what she was apologizing for, Stephen waited to hear what else she was going to say. “It was a last-minute call from them, and your father is aware of the meeting. Mr. Trevor and your father are very close friends, and he is hoping that this could become an avenue to strengthen their bond…” “Hmm…” Stephen said nothing, just staring at the lady while he thought about everything that she said. “Why does it look like that was a reversed line?” He asked, looking eyeball to eyeball with the lady. “I am sure my father didn’t use those exact words…” He said with a smirk on his face, causing the lady to bend her face to the ground. That indicated that Stephen was right, and he chuckled softly, staring as she struggled to look at him. “Well…” Helena
