"Give me your money," the men demanded.Their eyes were sharp, filled with intimidation. Of course, they had to look like that to frighten their victims. Only that wouldn't apply to Carson. He just glanced and started walking again. It was just as he started walking again. His body was pushed backward. He intended to do so, but instead, he was the one who was pushed back.Carson refused to give money firmly. "You have to work to earn money, not by forcing others. Leave before I start to get annoyed." His voice was firm. There was no fear at all. Carson looked so relaxed.One of the thugs came forward, his face angry and threatening. He looked at Carson with sharp eyes and tried to intimidate Carson. He even took out a knife and pointed it at Carson's stomach. He thought it would scare Carson. "How dare you. Give me your money, or I'll kill you and your woman. I'm not kidding." He pushed the knife slightly into Carson's stomach. "You'll regret it later."Alison gripped Carson's hand
After the incident, Carson and Alison continued to wander around the place, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. They sampled various foods and interacted with the other visitors. Their smiles and laughter created an aura of happiness that attracted attention. Many people glanced at them. Some of them were jealous of the couple's intimacy. Even so, they did not dare to disturb Alison and Carson."You know, we look like the perfect couple," Carson said as he stole a glance at Alison, his smile wide.Alison laughed, feeling happy with the compliment. "You're right. This is so much fun. I've never felt like this. Thank you."Carson nodded. "You're welcome."After a day full of happiness, they finally returned home. As soon as they arrived, a calm atmosphere greeted them. Both sat on the sofa, exhausted but full of smiles. Last night's events had been horrible, but this morning's events had made them happy.Carson looked at Alison with concern. "You're okay, aren't you?" he asked gently, wo
In a luxurious café, a woman sat alone, enjoying a tantalizing red wine. It was expensive—one bottle cost 20,000 dollars. She was smiling because she had succeeded in doing what she wanted. She seemed to remember something pleasant."Alison, you have no idea how happy I was to see you yesterday," he said triumphantly. Today, I'm going to make you suffer."He recalled their accidental meeting in front of a hotel. At that time, he saw Alison, who seemed to be carried by three people. Initially, He was casual, but moments later, his mind was full of evil plans. She took a photo of Alison and the three men. The woman felt delighted with what she got. She spread the news that Alison had read earlier. There was nothing more satisfying to her than seeing Alison in trouble. Imagining Alison in shock really made her happy.Sipping her wine, she stared at the pictures on her phone, the ones she had taken yesterday. One of the pictures showed a weak-looking Alison being carried by two men into
Quickly, fear replaced her previous confidence. He looked down at his phone, remembering he was not alone in this game. She knew that harassing Alison could have unintended consequences. It turned out that someone was protecting Alison."Who dares to threaten me?" she muttered, frowning while squeezing his phone. "This won't stop me. We'll see who's stronger." In fact, she challenged whoever was behind Alison.However, her mind began to fill with doubts. She should think twice before proceeding with his plan. Although the grudge was still burning, the threat made her cautious. Her determination to bring Alison down was still remarkable." Then," she whispered, "I need to be smarter. Maybe I need a better plan. No one can stop me, but I must be careful not to lose to Alison's tricks."She picked up her wine glass and sipped with a determined look, trying to restore the courage that had faltered just now. "Whoever threatens me will feel my power. I will not back down."With a new plan in
The woman was very happy to be defended by her father and mother. Moreover, they believed the reason she gave. Not only that but her parents also said that they would restore her good name and meet the media if all of this was just an edit."Thank you father," the woman said. Her father nodded. "If you are not wrong and all this is just a slander. I will definitely be on your side. This father is a responsible parent for his child. Protecting his little family is a father's duty."The woman smiled widely. She was very happy with what her father had said. Beside her father was her mother who was smiling too. She looked supportive of her daughter as well. The three of them exchanged glances and decided to leave the house and meet the media in front of the entrance gate.But before they went out, their doorbell suddenly rang and there was a letter in front of them. The three looked at each other, confused. They looked troubled by what had happened. How could it not be, the bell rang an
The woman's father was furious with his son. Because of his son's offending Alison, all of their company's shares had dropped by 95%, a crazy amount. This was tantamount to bankruptcy for the Hartman family. The woman's father shook his head in surprise."You're such an idiot," he said in a weary tone. This made him depressed. "I don't know who you're offending, but what you're doing is destroying our family. If you weren't my son, then I would have killed you long ago."The woman stood silent, her face paled. Her breathing was laboured. She could feel the dissatisfaction flowing from her father through the look in his eyes. In her heart guilt pierced her heart, hurting like a sharp thorn. It was just that she still didn't understand what was wrong. He only knew that he had made a mistake."Our stock dropped 95%. This is all because of you, " her father continued, his voice echoing in the awkward room. "This is tantamount to bankruptcy for our family. 95% is no small number. You compl
Alison knew that the insinuations were directed at her and that they were annoying. With a sudden burst of courage, she retorted, "Maybe you'd be better off discussing yourself instead of gossiping about me. Do you feel better by putting others down?" Alison looked at one of them. "I've heard that you had an encounter with two guys at the gym. Two handsome young men."Alison's words shook things up. The woman she was looking at had a panicked look on her face. How could she not? That was precisely what had happened. She was getting stares from some of her friends. It made the elite woman flustered. Sweat dripped from her forehead."Don't think you're all holier than thou." Alison looked at the other women. "You're just the same. You once secretly met a young man even younger than your son back then. You even gave him a car."The woman fell silent. Hearing Alison's words frightened them because it could be gossip about them that Alison was discussing. The group of women fell silent, lo
The archery range, located behind the tea shop, was filled with spectators. The atmosphere was tense. Alison was belittled. The elite woman with a haughty attitude drew her arrow. One second later, she fired.The woman immediately smiled. "Look, I got an 8, Alison. Do you know what that means? You're going to lose to me. You're no match for me," she taunted, turning to Alison in a mocking tone.Alison, despite her heart pounding, just nodded slowly. She would focus on herself. "I'll try my best," she replied in a calm voice.Alison drew her crossbow while catching her breath. When she was calm and confident. She fired. Alison chuckled in annoyance. As the arrow shot out and the shot missed, she only scored a 6. This was a poor start for her."Hahaha! I told you, you can't compete with me," the arrogant woman continued, her voice full of satisfaction at Alison's results being worse than hers.Some other participants also shot, and Alison's score was the lowest. That made some people in
