Jared snapped at me, but | could tell he was genuinely worried something might happen to me. Right then, some
of the grudge! held against him faded away.
| kept my voice gentle as | chatted with Jared for a bit longer, then hung up.
Ryan stood by, watching me, his clear eyes shadowed with a touch of sadness.
Holding my phone, I glanced at him. Ryan asked, “Your ex-husband still cares about you?”
I nodded.
Ryan’s gaze grew complicated as he stared atfor a couple seconds, but he didn’t say anything else.
At noon, | headed to the police station to give my statement. There, | saw the man who had attacked me.
The way he looked atsent a chill down my spine. Maybe it was because his plan had failed and he'd been
caught, but there was frustration, hatred, and a sick glint in his eyes.

Even though | was scared, | kept my cool and stared him down.
When it comes to evil, running away only makes them bolder. | had the guts to face him head-on.
When | stepped out of the station, Ryan was waiting forin the car. He spoke softly, “Don’t worry. I'll make
sure a guy like that learns his lesson.”
| paused, looking at him. There was a cold glint in Ryan’s eyes. “Trash like him deserves to be wiped out-no one
wants to see him back on the streets.”
| understood what he meant and whispered, “Thanks.”
With Ryan's words, I finally felt at ease.
Even if it means bending the rules a little, as long as it keeps someone else from getting hurt, this is the fairest
way.
After what happened, | took a couple days off. Ryan seemed to have simportant matters to deal with too, so
he didn’t check in onthese past two days.
On the third day, | headed back to the office. That afternoon, a future big client invitedand a few higher-ups
to play golf.
I didn’t know the first thing about golf, but | went along anyway-anything to help land the deal.
The client was a VIP member here, with his own private lounge. He said the annual fee was 600 grand, just for
that spot.
Rich folks sure know how to live. | remembered Jared had a bunch of these fancy memberships, but whenever he
went out for
work or play, he almost never tookalong.
Honestly, | had no clue what kind of memberships Jared actually had.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh at myself for a few seconds.
| changed into a white tracksuit and tied my hair back into a ponytail. Even though | didn’t know how to play
golf, that didn’t stopfrom going along to admire their skills.

Chapter 391
“Victoria...” Just as our group was laughing and getting ready to head to the course, a man’s voice called out to
me.
| turned around-what a coincidence. There was Jared, dressed in a black tracksuit, with Amy in blue and white
stripes beside him, along with a few international clients.
Amy was busy chatting and introducing the guests, while Jared was talking with someone else. But when he saw
me, his expression changed.
My heart sank a little. ‘Is he surprised to seeat a high-end place like this?‘ | wondered.
“Mr. Holcomb, what a coincidence! | invited Ms. Murphy over to discuss sbusiness,” said the middle-aged
man next to me, Mr. Wright, who knew Jared, greeting him with a smile.
Jared nodded in acknowledgment, but his gaze lingered onfor a few seconds.
| followed Mr. Wright and his group into the car, bringing along a young guy and girl from my team. Both of them
were smooth talkers, totally business-savvy, and knew exactly how to handle people.
With them helpingentertain Mr. Wright and his group, | actually felt like an executive myself.
Our area was pretty close to Jared's. All | had to do was look up and | could spot him.
| actually wanted to pick up sof those fancy business golf moves, so | started practicing my swing. | had no
clue what | was doing, but Mr. Wright was right there, eager to showthe ropes.
You could tell he'd heard | was clueless about golf and jumped at the chance to play coach.
Mr. Wright was in his fifties, and every t| flubbed a swing and tried not to laugh, he'd just chuckle too. “You
know, when you get older, you realize that spark you have when you're young-it never really comes back.”
