In disguise, Winona made her way cautiously to a small restaurant near the address Jason had given her
yesterday. She covered her nose when she noticed the poor hygiene of the place, but she quickly ordered a few
dishes, making sure not to draw any suspicion.
The owner of the restaurant, noticing that Winona was dressed unusually for the hot weather, felt curious, but
she didn’t ask any questions. It was clear from Winona’s clothes that she was someone of wealth, so the owner
didn’t care to probe further.
Before heading to the restaurant, Winona had already called the police from a payphone, telling them about
Jason's hideout. If the timing was right, the police would be there to arrest him in twenty minutes.
Winona didn’t want any potential danger to stand in the way of her future. She had to eliminate Jason even
though he believed her unconditionally
Ten minutes later, the sound of sirens cut through the air as three police cars sped by.
Winona didn’t expect the police to respond so quickly. She thought, ‘How did they get here so quickly? Little did
she know as soon as her report had reached the police station, they immediately passed the intel directly to
Zane, who rushed out of the police station with a group of officers, ensuring they acted fast before Jason could
slip away.
Winona watched from her table by the window as the police cars rushed past She quickly paid her bill, left the
restaurant, and ducked into a nearby alley. Once she got there, she took out her phone and called Jason.
To avoid leaving any trace, she used an illegitimate card she had bought from overseas.
Jason hid in an unfinished building with all his attention on the phone, trembling with fear all night. Finally, his
phone rang He grabbed it immediately, his hands shaking with excitement when he heard Winona'’s voice. He
was glad that she didn’t lie to him or give up on him. “Hello, Ms. Chambers? Where are you? I've been waiting for
you.”
Winona felt a wave of disgust wash over her the moment she heard Jason's voice. She replied sweetly, T'm sorry,
Mr. Wilson. | may be late. The baby kept troublingand my mother-in-law insisted on bringing a family doctor
over. It has taken more tthan | expected. I'm already out of the house, but | need about an hour to get
there.”
Jason's heart sank, but he understood the difficulties Winona must be going through with the pregnancy.
Therefore, he tried to comfort her, “It's okay, Ms. Chambers, no rush. I'll wait for you. An hour is nothing”
However, as soon as Jason finished speaking, he heard the sirens coming from outside the unfinished building.
Panic hit him like a wave, his face draining of color. His hand, still holding the phone, began to tremble
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtuncontrollably.
He thought in despair, ‘Are the police here? Am | done?’ He knew exactly what was coming.
Winona, hearing the sirens blaring on the phone, couldn't help but smirk. She feigned innocence and asked with
concern, “What's wrong, Mr. Wilson? Don’t worry, I'll be there as soon as | can. You just make sure to hide well,
okay?”
Jason was trembling. After a long pause, he let out a heavy sigh of resignation. “You don’t need to come, Ms.
Chambers. The police are already here. There's no chance foranymore. Please don’t come. | swear | won't
drag you into this. If you get to see your mother one day, please tell her that she’s the only one I love. Ms.
Chambers, I'll protect you and take the blame.
Winona was a bit taken aback. She didn’t expect Jason to be so loyal to her mother, but now that it had cto
this, she had no choice but to sacrifice him.
Winona feigned surprise and let out a tic scream, pretending to choke back tears. “It's all my fault. If only |
had csooner, you wouldn't have been caught, Mr. Wilson, I... I'm so sorry. I'm gonna turn myself in.”
Jason was deeply moved by her words. He quickly responded, “None of this is your fault, Ms. Chambers. It's all
on me. | have to hang up now and destroy the phone. No one will ever know about our conversation.”
Winona had been waiting for Jason to say this. She would never leave any traces behind.
Jason immediately hung up the phone, gritting his teeth as he smashed the phone into pieces. He then pulled
out the SIM card and tossed it into a stinking puddle where no one would notice.
After doing this, he collapsed onto the concrete floor of the unfinished building, waiting for the police to arrive.
Winona put away her phone and walked out of the alley, feeling weight lift off her shoulders. She said those
words just to get Jason to willingly take the blfor her. Only if he was determined to protect her would he be
able to withstand the pressure from the police and shoulder all the blame.
At Jeremiah’s villa, Yvette had just finished showering. She walked into the walk-in closet, opening the door to
find an entire collection of black-and-white casual outfits, all simple and neat, without any logos. They were all
custom-made, exactly her style.
A hint of a smile appeared on her face. She didn’t expect Jeremiah to be so thoughtful.
Jeremiah knocked on the door and said in a husky tone that was still slightly groggy from just waking up, “Are
you up? Breakfast’s ready
Yvette dressed quickly in a black sports outfit, her expression sharp and cool. I'm ready. She opened the door.
Jeremiah glanced at her, taking her hand and leading her downstairs.
On the dining table downstairs were ssandwiches Jeremiah made. Yvette’s sandwich had an extra egg on it,
and there was a cup of milk to go with it. Jeremiah had the same, but instead of milk, he had black coffee.
Yvette sat down, took a sip of milk, and a little bit of milk smeared on the corner of her mouth. Jeremiah’s eyes
darkened as he watched her, but he quickly looked away, pretending not to notice.
Yvette glanced at the black coffee in his hand and protested, “I want that too.”
Jeremiah paused for a moment and smiled gently, saying, “Maybe next time. Have the milk this time.”
Just then, Andrew pushed open the door and walked in. He regretted coming so quickly. After all, he didn’t want
to see them act so intimately.
Bonnie, who had been standing behind Andrew, pushed him aside, “Why aren't you moving? You're blocking the
way.”

Bonnie glanced at Jeremiah, who was coolly sipping his coffee, and suddenly felt timid. She quickly shrank back
and felt a chill run down her spine, thinking. Just wait, Andrew
Jeremiah glanced at Bonnie with a blank face. Feeling somehow frightened, Bonnie shuffled her chair a little
away from
Yvette. She knew that he wasn’t happy about her being so close to his woman.
