Exhausted from the events of the night, Ethan collapsed onto the bed and quickly drifted into a deep sleep.

The emotional and physical strain had drained him completely, leaving him too tired to remain awake any longer.

  • 235. The Guest

    Hearing the threat Ivy had just made, Inspector Nelson fell completely silent. His mouth seemed glued shut as he refused to say another word.He couldn't bring himself to let them leave for the hospital after he had already issued strict orders, but at the same time, he couldn't afford to have his name dragged through the mud as a corrupt and heartless police officer.The angry crowd Ivy had gathered was already causing an uproar. People were throwing objects in protest while loudly hurling insults at him.In fact, the entire police force was now being labeled as CRUEL, and the hashtag #EndPoliceBrutality had already begun trending everywhere.With countless cameras pointed directly at him, Inspector Nelson knew he couldn't survive such a public scandal.To put an end to the chaos and prevent his name from being publicly disgraced, he immediately covered his face from the cameras before shouting at his sergeants."Take them to a good hospital immediately and make sure they don't escap

  • 234. Make A Choice!

    Ethan, Ivy, and Micheala were driven straight to the precinct, where they were instructed to give their official statements regarding everything that had happened. None of this surprised Ethan. He already had a good idea why he, Ivy, and Micheala had been transported in a police van while Joshua had been driven away in one of Inspector Nelson's luxurious vehicles. It was all a result of Influence. That was the only explanation. Joshua came from the powerful Wong family, and Ethan had no doubt that someone had informed Joshua's grandfather long before Inspector Nelson arrived at the scene. That single privilege was enough to expose the difference between how ordinary people were treated and how the wealthy bent the system in their favor. The thought only fueled Ethan's hatred for the Wong family. Instead of fading, it grew stronger with every passing second. As for Inspector Nelson... The man had already earned a permanent place on Ethan's blacklist. From this point onward, eve

  • 233. Injustice

    Ethan declared, pointing straight at Joshua.He had stood there from the very beginning, watching everything unfold before his eyes. He had seen how Micheala had risked her own freedom to protect him. He had watched her step between him and Joshua, preventing Joshua from taking his life.Yes, Micheala had hurt him in the past.She had betrayed him.She had caused him pain he could never forget.But despite all of that, Ethan couldn't bring himself to stand by and watch her go to prison for a crime she hadn't truly committed.If the only way to stop that from happening was to stand before Inspector Nelson and tell him the truth, then that was exactly what he was prepared to do.However, when Ethan stopped the officers from taking Micheala away and identified Joshua as the real culprit, he expected Inspector Nelson to at least consider his words and turn his attention toward Joshua.Instead...Things went in the complete opposite direction.Inspector Nelson slowly raised a warning finge

  • 232. Arrested

    The moment Joshua spotted the police officers standing a few meters away, his mind, which had almost shut down from fear, slowly began to return to reality.His entire body trembled as he looked back at Micheala.He couldn't stop imagining what would have happened if the police hadn't arrived at that exact moment.That woman standing before him was no longer the Micheala he once knew.She had become something else entirely.Her entire body radiated pure rage, and the murderous determination burning in her eyes sent chills crawling down his spine. Joshua had no doubt that if he had taken even a single step away from where she had ordered him to stand, she would have fired without the slightest hesitation. She wouldn't have wasted a second before planting a bullet straight through his skull.In fact, she had already been on the verge of pulling the trigger.Only the sudden arrival of the police had forced her to lower the gun.Realizing that the officers had witnessed everything, Joshua

  • 231. Hands In The Air

    The instant Ethan saw Micheala standing there, he was thrown into the deepest shock of his life.He had never expected her to be there.More importantly, he had never imagined she would stand on his side.She was actually ordering Joshua to lower his weapon.Joshua.The same Joshua she had been inseparable from for so long. The bond between them had always seemed impossible to break. Yet here she was, openly standing against him, threatening him without the slightest hesitation.It was a sight Ethan never thought he would witness.He wasn't the only one stunned.Ivy was equally frozen in disbelief.But the person who was hit the hardest was Joshua.The moment his eyes landed on Micheala, his entire body stiffened.She stood several feet away, staring directly at him with unwavering authority. Her expression was cold, fearless, and completely different from the woman he thought he knew.Even more shocking...She was holding a gun.Its muzzle was aimed straight at his head.Joshua's eye

  • 230. The Gunpoint

    The moment Ethan turned around and saw Joshua pointing a gun straight at him, he didn't panic. Instead, a faint smile crept onto his lips. He looked completely amused, as though the deadly threat before him was nothing more than a joke.Locking eyes with Joshua, Ethan slowly shook his head and let out a scoff."So, if I refuse to leave, you're really going to pull the trigger? Is that what you're trying to say?"Joshua tightened his grip on the gun, his finger resting dangerously close to the trigger. Hatred burned fiercely in his eyes."Whether you like it or not, Ethan, this bullet is going to rip straight through your skull. I've wanted to kill you for a long time, but the opportunity never came. Today, fate finally handed you over to me. Not only do I have the power to torture you... I also have the power to end your life right here."Ethan scoffed again, never once breaking eye contact."So, it really runs in the blood, doesn't it? Just like your manipulative father, who has comm
