Jason tried to keep calm while she was struggling to get herself free from his grip, as he wanted to avoid the attention of everyone, as much as possible.He tightened his grip on her waist, whispering in her ear like trying to tame a misbehaving pet."Come on, Scarlet. You're in no state to argue. Be a good girl now, and just let me take care of you."In a moment of desperation, Scarlet used up all the strength she could muster. She kicked Jason below his knee with surprising force, causing him to release his hold on her for a few moments as he was shocked by the sudden attack.Taking advantage of his confusion, she tried to run away from him, while he bent down to massage his calf that had been hit by her heeled sandal. "Fuck! What did you do, you bitch?!"Scarlet was still struggling to walk straight due to being blackout drunk and she wasn't able to run too far, when Jason lunged towards her. He pulled her into his grip and started to drag her toward his room out of frustration.

Dennis Young had been behaving with an air of superiority, under the illusion that he was practically invincible.He liked to believe that the reason for this was his own status and affluence in the country, but the truth was that all of his influence was because of him being the son- in- law of the Zimmerman family.And now that his truth had been revealed to everybody along with a stern warning from his father- in- law, he found that his privilege had almost slipped out of his hands completely.In fact, he felt a sense of regret in his heart, such that he wasn't even able to look up and meet the eyes of the same people he had been threatening so far. His wife's family had been his shield against the consequences of his careless actions, and now, his arrogant expression was quickly replaced by fear. He was desperate to save his social standing, and not knowing what to do next, he lunged towards Mr. Samuel Holt. He was the one who had taken the initiative to call Normal Zimmerman, a

"What the hell? Where is Eva, Artis!"Scarlet screamed out, panicking completely."How the hell should I know! I came here with you, didn't I? Then surprise surprise, Scarlet, that I'm just as confused as you are!"Although Artis did not intend to yell at her, the sudden shock of finding their daughter's bed empty at nighttime caused him to react badly.He turned around to find Chuck, but he was nowhere to be found either.Artis was pretty sure that he had come into the room with them, then where had he disappeared to?For a moment, a scary thought crossed his mind: what if Chuck and Eliza were behind the kidnapping of his daughter?But the next moment, he realized that Chuck had proven his loyalty time and time again, and he could not doubt him without any proof or solid reason.However, that left him back at the same place - where could Eva have gone?No matter whether he or Scarlet were there or not, two nurses always stayed with her in the room, to look after her and cater to her

Dejected, Chuck decided to walk away and approach Artis to think of some other way to get access to the surveillance footage. But the next moment, he changed his mind. He could not give up this easily, not when it was his responsibility to protect the little girl. Chuck squared his shoulders and once again, approached the imposing figure of the guard. The stern-faced guard eyed Chuck with skepticism as he neared the restricted entrance."Excuse me, sir," Chuck began, his tone respectful yet firm. "I don't think you understand really how urgent this is— my boss's daughter won't be okay for too long, without proper treatment or medical care. I'm sure you can make an exception in this case, because the consequences will be severe if she isn't found on time."The guard crossed his arms, and spoke with an annoyed expression. "I have told you many times before, but let me say it in a way you can understand easily: no authorization, no entry. Rules are rules. I don't make them, and I don

Chad, who was Scarlet's rich ex- boyfriend, was unfazed by Artis's bristling demeanor. He nonchalantly responded to his question, "I heard about Eva. Thought I'd check in and see how Scarlet is doing."Before Artis could say anything, however, Hena Silverman stood from her previous place beside Scarlet. Her eyes practically lit up at the arrival of Chad. The excitement in her voice was palpable as she greeted him, expressing her delight at his swift response to the distressing news."Chad, dear, you're a lifesaver! Thanks a lot for coming here so quickly, and that too, so late at night. Scarlet is lucky to have you," she exclaimed, genuine warmth coloring her words. Mia, sitting quietly, observed the unfolding scene with curiosity.Artis, standing quietly at his place, wore a stoic expression that hinted at his discomfort with Chad's presence. He was not comfortable with sharing the family's intimate matters, especially not with someone he considered an outsider.With a slight chi
