Alice, shocked by the unexpected condition, stared at Anna. "Smash a cake into Darren's face on a live stream? What does that have to do with the hospital contract?"Alice could not believe what Anna told her, why would the head of Winslow Group want to embarrass her fiancee on live stream, she thought she had a romantic interest in her. Or maybe he was jealous of Darren.Anna, keeping her composure, I have no idea why the President wants you to do that. But If you agree to this condition, the contract is surely yours."Alice hesitated, her mind racing to comprehend the bizarre demand. How would Darren take the news? Would he agree to do it?

The voice on the other end of the line was cold and merciless, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.James then turned off the speaker of the phone so that he could not hear what they were discussing."Amelia, we need to stay calm," James said, his voice steady despite the fear gnawing at his insides. "We have to do exactly as they say if we want to get out of this alive."Amelia nodded,

They had heard rumors of his invincibility, but witnessing it firsthand sent chills down their spines."You still have one last chance to surrender," James declared, his tone final.

I am the one holding the gun here, I could end your life here and now!""Ohh really?"

James sighed heavily, leaning into his Maureen's embrace "I'm holding up, Mom," he replied, his voice tinged with exhaustion. "It's just been a lot to deal with.""I also heard the news, what manner of evil is this? How could someone be so wicked to tarnish the image of an innocent man"Maureen looked at James sympathetically, her eyes reflecting the pain she felt for her son.

"I know the son I raised is not responsible for any of those things they are accusing you of"Thank you, Mom," James said, his voice choked with emotion. "Your belief in me means everything."Maureen squeezed his hand reassuringly. "We will get through this together, James.
