Ever since Nina was imprisoned here, she hadn't seen any men around. Just as the girl was about to say something, the door to their room suddenly opened. Mrs. Quintana stood in the doorway and looked directly at Nina. "You, cwith me." Nina frowned but got up. The girl watched Nina's departing figure with a heavy heart. She had been thinking that Nina's status was unusual, and now Mrs. Quintana had personally cto take her away. Was this the start of Nina's punishment? The girl's expression was calm, but her eyes were cold. She clenched her fists tightly. If she were to die, she would at least take Mrs. Quintana with her. Otherwise, all her suffering would be in vain. Following Mrs. Quintana, Nina remained alert. They walked a short distance before Mrs. Quintana brought her to a man. Nina immediately recognized him. It was the sman who had saved her from Mrs. Quintana earlier, known as Mr. Joker.

Nina couldn't understand his motives.
Mr. Joker's dark eyes flashed with surprise. "How do you know?" He had saved her without revealing his identity or speaking to her. Yet Nina had accurately named his boss, even knowing that he was his boss's man.
Had Micah already confided in her? No, that was impossible. Someone like Micah would never reveal himself to an outsider.
"That's my business. If you don't know either, I'll be on my way," Nina replied coolly.
Not knowing and refusing to answer are two different things. Mr. Joker wasn't her ally and she couldn't demand answers from him.
"My boss only instructedto do this. I know nothing else," Mr. Joker said firmly, clarifying his position. He followed Micah's orders without question. én.sNina said nothing more and started to walk away, observing her surroundings as she did. She realized they were standing in a large hall.
