Jack was very tired and fell asleep until sunset. Twilight light pours in from the large windows, giving a warm, calming feel to this elegant room. Every corner of the room is filled with a touch of luxury, from thick rugs to elegantly displayed art sculptures.When he finally woke up, Jack felt the fragrant aroma wafting from the scented candles that decorated the table by the window. The room feels alive, creating a peaceful atmosphere around it. He realized that he owed Ashley dinner, and didn't want to keep her waiting.Without delay, Jack called his servant via the bell in his room. The bell tinkled gently, sending a signal to the servant on duty. Not long after, the door opened and a servant entered with light steps. He wore a dark uniform that reflected professionalism and dedication.“Mr. Ashworth, what can I do for you?” he asked politely."For dinner this time, I want you to prepare a special dish," said Jack in a calm but confident voice. "After that, tell Ashley that we wi
Suddenly, Jack firmly stated, "There is indeed a woman in my heart, Ashley.”Ashley's face changed, disappointment evident in her eyes. For a moment, she thought that Jack was going to mention Diana Buchanan's name. However, before she could say anything, Jack continued, "That woman is not Diana Buchanan. That woman is standing in front of me."A huge shock flashed across Ashley's face. Her eyes widened, reflecting a mixture of joy and disbelief. "Jack..."However, Jack continued in a warm voice, "However, the situation around me right now is very dangerous. I'm afraid that if we let these feelings develop, you will be in danger. I don't want that to happen."Before Jack could continue his words, Ashley suddenly stepped closer to Jack and kissed him lovingly on the lips. It was Ashley's way of saying that she understood, that their feelings were reciprocated and that they would face all dangers together. In that moment, they found strength in the unity of their feelings, ready to face
“I don't care what you guys do but I don't want to receive any more failure reports!” exclaimed Daniel Collins with emotion.His men obediently nodded, absorbing every word Daniel said. They knew very well that this was a critical moment, and this decision had to be made immediately.“Okay, boss!”"I don't want Jack Ashworth to keep bothering me. He is a threat to my big plans," Daniel hissed, his eyes radiating undeniable firmness.His men voiced their agreement, assuring Daniel that they would complete this task without the slightest hesitation. They are loyal soldiers ready to carry out orders with efficiency.Daniel looked at everyone in the room firmly. "Do this carefully, and make sure no one suspects anything.

Jack opened the report file with great anticipation, his fingers touching each page carefully. The elegant workspace reflects the morning sunlight coming in through the window, creating a tense yet optimistic atmosphere. When Jack saw the Green Diamond Village project on paper, his eyes immediately opened wide."This is amazing, Ashley. We accomplished so much," Jack praised, admiration shining in his eyes.Ashley just smiled, satisfied to see Jack's positive reaction. "We are working hard to ensure that this project proceeds as planned, and progress is nearly at its breaking point."Jack laughed, feeling the weight in his heart lessen. "So, the market revitalization project according to my idea can be launched next week?" Jack asked, wanting to make sure everything was going according to plan.Ashley nodded firmly. "Yes, the preparations are almost complete. Just a few final details, and everything is ready to launch."Jack's face lit up, and he felt so grateful for Ashley's dedicati
Jack followed Diana out of his quiet office, and the two of them ran into Ashley, who had just returned from the toilet. She had not noticed Diana's presence since earlier, and her expression reflected confusion when she saw Jack together with Diana Buchanan.“Ms. Buchanan, sorry, I didn't realize you were here," Ashley said politely, but couldn't hide her surprise.“Ms. Norton, nice to see you again," answered Diana.Instantly, tension was in the air."Ashley, I'm sorry," said Jack in a regretful voice. "I have to cancel our dinner appointment tonight. There's something urgent I need to take care of."Ashley raised an eyebrow, trying to understand the situation. "It's okay, Jack. I can understand."Jack caught the confused look on Ashley's face and gave her a soft smile. "I'll explain everything later, okay?""Sure, I understand," Ashley answered, although a mixed expression of disappointment and understanding was still visible on her face.Meanwhile, Diana watched the dynamics betwe
"What do you mean? You're not the only one who wants me dead?” Jack asked."You have a lot of enemies without you realizing it, Jack," said Daniel with a smile.After that, Daniel gave instructions to his men to tie Diana up. Diana, tied to a chair, was in a state of despair. Meanwhile, Daniel's men all surrounded Jack with guns aimed at Jack's head."That's enough, Daniel! Please, don't hurt him!" Diana screamed, her voice filled with despair and fear. Her beautiful green eyes were now filled with unstoppable tears.Daniel, without mercy, flashed a disdainful smile. "This is the end, Diana. Your last chance to save him. You just have to marry me, then I will let him live.""Son of a bitch!" Diana exclaimed in a hateful tone. But even his exclamation didn't dispel the evil smile on Daniel's face.Jack shouted in a firm voice, "Diana, don't do that!""You just need to sign these papers and we will be officially married," said Daniel, his voice thunderous in the cold night.However, wit
Ding![User Jack Harrison's health condition is not good. User Jack Harrison lost a lot of blood. Exchange 1 point to restore health. Y/N.]The notification from the system sounded like a roar in Jack's ears, who still felt dizzy from his unconscious state. His vision was still blurry, and every movement he tried to make seemed like a futile effort. Both of his hands felt pressured and tied behind his back, silent witnesses to the betrayal he had just experienced. Jack lay in the car seat, feeling as if his spirit was separated from his body.When Jack finally recovered a little, he realized that he was bound and handcuffed in a car. His hands were handcuffed to the steering wheel with cold, sharp wire. His body and legs were tied tightly to the car seat, making him feel like a prisoner ready to be punished. A flash of fear flashed in his eyes when he saw Daniel's men gathered around him. Daniel himself stood in the middle of them, a sly smile on his face seemed to create an aura of f
With gasping breaths, Jack continued his struggle in the car, which was sinking further. Every movement he made felt like a last-ditch attempt to escape the tragic fate that lurked for him at the bottom of the dark lake. The pain from his broken thumb shackled his every movement, but his resolve to survive continued to strengthen.His body which was tightly bound by rope became a big obstacle in his efforts to fight the situation. The state of panic was getting worse due to the lack of oxygen, and Jack could feel his pulse speed up. The water that continued to enter the car created increasing pressure, destroying its hopes of survival.His free hand reached for the steering wheel in desperation. A violently yanked steering wheel becomes his final weapon against time. In a state of urgency, Jack pulled the steering wheel with all his strength, forgetting the pain that pricked his fingers. The water entering the car continued to weigh on his body, making him weaker.With the car steerin
