“You’re really busy,” commented Glenn. “Take care of your health, Mrs. Zimmerman.”

Beatrice nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Glenn.”

Then she continued, “Since I happened to run into you here, Glenn, there’s something I’d like to talk about. I need your help.”

An old machine, rusty chairs and beds, a ceiling adorned with dangling spider webs, a musty odour filling the roomWhere was he? When he tried to stand, his body was stiff and unresponsive. He tried to move his body, but it felt as if his body was completely paralyzed; he couldn't feel his legs and arms. ‘What's happening?''Why can't I move my body?' 'Where is everyone?''What is more, why am I being treated in such a terrible hospital? I'm one of the most powerful businessmen in Edgartown,’ He tried to analyse it in his mind. "Ugh..." he groaned, feeling an excruciating pain in his head when he attempted to uncover the reason why he ended up in that sad and helpless state hospital. That memory comes rushing into his mind. He had been on his way to work in Smith Corp when the steering wheel of his car became unresponsive as he acceler

Of course, Amber's smile upon seeing the large gift he brought caught Glenn's attention; her demeanour changed not because of seeing Glenn, it did not escape his notice. "What's this?" Amber asked curiously. "You can open it later after I've left," replied Glenn. His in-laws had previously greeted him enthusiastically. Now the fake smiles of these money-minded individuals were painfully obvious to Glenn. These two were leeches back when he married Amber, constantly asking for financial support for their failing business. He couldn't refuse because after marrying Amber, they became his family.

"Are you having problems? You seem so different," she whispered, not wanting other students to hear her submissive tone to Glenn. Seeing Amber's softened demeanour, Glenn smirked condescendingly.'I just threatened you a moment ago, and now you're like a puppy with its tail tucked between its legs,' Glenn assessed. He had never felt so happy in his life before. If Amber had treated him like a doormat all this time, now he didn't want anyone to do the same to him. Amber's feigned sweetness wouldn't sway him. No one should trample on him again. ‘Should I play around with her for now? I guess letting her off

I don't know; it seems like that foolish man is now hard for me to control," Amber suddenly complained. Jason approached her and affectionately wrapped his arm around Amber's waist.
