Realization suddenly dawned on Xante. She looked at Aaron and said, “Are you saying that the boss might’ve gone
to the explosion site to look for Jeremy?”
“It’s just a guess. It’s highly likely, given that we’ve searched everywhere but the explosion site for her,” said Aaron
conservatively.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they all ran back to their cars to drive to the explosion site.
Meanwhile, in a small bungalow located on the outskirts of the city.
Corinne was locked up in a small, dirty room with her limbs tied up. The smell of barbecued meat and cheap beer
floated into the air. Since she was pregnant, Corinne found the smell so unbearable that she felt like throwing up.
From time to time, she would also hear cursing and crude jokes coming from outside the room. Thus, it was safe to

in on her once after they threw her into the room.
Corinne could not scream for help since her mouth was taped over, but it was not like she would do that either.
After all, doing that might put her in even more trouble when she had no idea what was going on.
She looked around and found an object lying on the ground. She wriggled around and tried to use the object’s sharp
corners to cut the rope tying up her ankles, but she did not get far when someone from outside the room suddenly
kicked the door open with a bang.
“Boss, why did you bring this preggo lady back? She’s not going to be fun at all!” said the fat man.
“Is that all you can think about? Having fun with women?” The silver-haired man lifted his chin in disgust. “Move
aside! I need to have a private word with her.”
The fatso scratched his head and closed the door after him.
The silver-haired man walked toward Corinne and looked down at her contemptuously as though she was an ant he
could easily crush with his shoe.
“Do you remember me?” he asked mockingly.
Corinne looked up at him. She could not answer him since her mouth was taped over.
Not getting an answer from her, the silver-haired man kicked her lightly.
“Do you know I had to go on a run for a year and nearly lost my life to Jeremy’s men after you escaped? I must say,
he really cares about you.”
Corinne stared at him dumbly. She had no idea Jeremy had sent men to hunt down the silver-haired man after she
escaped from him.
The silver-haired man squatted slowly and looked at her with a sinister, mocking glint in his eyes.

“Which works out great in my favor since I’d like nothing better to do than to slowly destroy everything he loves
piece by piece. I want him to feel pain so unbearable that he’ll wish he’s dead!”
Corinne glared at him and tried to speak out loud. However, she could only make some muffled sounds as her
mouth was taped over.
Seeing this, the silver-haired man ruthlessly ripped the tape off her mouth. Some of Corinne’s vellus hair came off
with the tape, causing her some pain.
“What did you say? Speak now!” ordered the silver-haired man coldly.
Corinne looked at him imperatively. “Jeremy’s already dead. He was killed in an explosion. What’s the point of doing
this?”
The reason she looked at him imperatively was because she was hoping he would tell her that Jeremy was not dead
at all.
