As if struck by lightning, Yvonne's breath turned heavy and labored. The growing flames outside the window burned intensely in her dark eyes.
She knew that Christopher had already started suspecting her, and it was only a matter of tbefore he got rid of her.
But that well-dressed beast in disguise wanted to use her to kill the man she loved most? Dream on! "Yvonne, if I ask you to jump down from here with me, will you be afraid?" Drew held her thin waist firmly and smiled. "I'm not afraid." Yvonne slightly parted her lips, lipstick still smeared from their kiss. Her determined gaze met his bright eyes.
"Tsk. Can't you let your man feel a little aplished?" Drew raised his brows and pinched the soft flesh at her waist. "Can't you be like other women, clinging toand screaming how scared you are in the face of danger?" "Actually, I am afraid." Yvonne stared deeply at him, full of longing. "But as long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything." Drew's originally frozen heart melted instantly, as if it was thrown into the sea of burning flames. He lowered his head and kissed Yvonne's lips again, saying, "Let's go!" Then he tucked her soft body under his black trench coat and fired several shots at the glass window.

Flames roared into the sky before their eyes, and countless sharp shards of glass and burning embers rushed past them like a storm.
Yvonne's heart stopped for a second, and she closed her eyes in fear.
In a daze, she heard Drew's heavy breathing. A strong sense of uneasiness tore at her heart.
With a swoosh, a thin steel cable shot out from the man's sleeve, piercing through the embers and anchored in the wall of a building.
Drew held Yvonne with one arm while using his left arm to control the cable, his legs pushing against the wall a few times. They landed safely on the ground in a few seconds, but these few seconds were enough for Yvonne to remember for a lifetime. They did not even have tto catch their breath and ran into the woods while supporting each other.
Suddenly, Yvonne stopped abruptly and shook off Drew's hand while trembling.
The man turned around in shock. "Yvonne, you..." "Sorry. I must stop here." Yvonne's eyes were red as she stepped back resolutely. "I'll only be a burden if I go with you. Go now before they catch up! Also, don't look foranymore. This is the end for us!" "You wantto give up on you? At this time?! Yvonne... Who do you think I am?!" Drew's eyes were burning from his anxious emotions. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward, but it forced her to retreat several steps. "Even if you don't leave with me, do you think you can still return to Christopher?! He wants you to die with me. Can't you see that?!" "Yes, Christopher wants us to die together, but you're still alive, aren't you?" Yvonne smiled emotionlessly, looking cold-blooded, but it only pained her heart.
"I can live as long as you're alive. But if I go with you, Christopher will never let you go, and we will never have peace. Drew, I still have more important things to do. I don't deserve you, nor am I willing to be a woman lost in love. But I'll remember the romance you gaveforever." She ran toward the sea of flames.
"Yvonne!e back!" No matter how Drew called out to her, she did not turn back. Only her broken tears were scattered in the wind.

Let alone a human; even a cockroach or fly could not get out of this place alive.
A few dozen men dressed in black held flashlights as they searched through the charred building.
Taylor stood outside with a pale face, but his eyes reddened. "Search carefully! I want to see bodies if they're dead!" "Yes!" At this time, he heard a series of heavy and familiar footsteps behind him.
"Yvonne?!" Taylor turned around and looked at the woman, who was covered in dirt and blood. His expression was a mix of shock and joy, almost causing him to lose control.
"You can ask them to stop searching. He's long gone." Yvonne stared at him coldly, her lips curling mockingly. "Sorry. I've let Mr. Christopher down again." Taylor immediately rushed to her, suppressing his voice, "You let that brat go?!" "Do you think I have superpowers?" "Yvonne, this is the last time..." Taylor gripped her shoulders, panting heavily. "When you see Drew again, you must kill him!" Yvonne smiled fearlessly. "If I don't?" "We worked together for so many years... I don't want to watch you die!" Taylor was ten years older than Yvonne. He watched her grow up and apanied her since her teenage years when she went through special training. How could he not care for her? "Yvonne, just bear with it a little longer. We must bear with it a little longer! As long as Mr. Christopher helps the Boss finish the drug experiment, he could take over the t Iverson Grouppletely and dominate the domestic pharmaceutical market! KS Group and the Salvador Corporation will be trampled! At that time, our suffering will end. The good days wille! Following Mr. Christopher is your only way out!" Taylor's eyes shone with ambition. He even told her this secret to assure her.
Yvonne's eyes darkened. Taylor's words matched her and Drew's suspicion.
But an unexpected gain was that the mastermind was the mysterious Boss. Taylor suddenly hugged Yvonne tightly.
l.n Yvonne felt nauseous, but she did not push him away. She knew Taylor was Christopher's right-hand man and a key to his secrets. If she handled him right, she could have had more chances to accessthe core of Christopher's dirty business. "Yvonne, listen to me. Next time, you must kill Drew!" Taylor took a deep breath and said gently, "I'll talk to Mr. Christopher. Listen to me. You must survive no matter what!" "Okay," Yvonne said softly, hatred and disgust mixing in her gaze.
