Steven was at the end of his rope. He rushed to kill Gilda, but Erie stopped him in time.
âMr. Hughes, do you want to take another charge?â
Standing behind Eric, Gilda coldly watched him struggling in pain and made a phone call. âYou can come up here, sir.â
After a while, Bruce quickly entered with his colleagues and left the handcuffs on Stevenâs hands. âYou are suspected of intentional assault, illegal detention, invasion of privacy, etc. You were officially arrested by us!â
Steven was almost dragged away. âSir, this is a misunderstanding! This was a confession! It doesnât count!â
âMy conversation with you may not count, but what your secretary said must have some credibili Steven looked at the secretary guarding the door in disbelief and asked, âYou? Itâs you!â
âMr. Hu⦠I donât want to, but if I donât tell you, I will go to jail too!â
Your âHe has already told me that you planned the exposure of Braydonâs relationship. Today, I will return it to you and enjoy what I have planted!â
Steven was desperate, âGilda! Youâll die a miserable death! Youâll come to no good!
His voice was farther and farther away, disappearing at the end.
Gilda breathed a sigh of relief.
Eric was confused, âWhy donât you ask him about Selene?â
âSelene is so cautious. She didnât even tell Steven to run away with her. Do you think he might know where she is?â
⦠Thatâs right.â Eric smiled and said, âNow with Stevenâs share, your shares have reached 30%, which is the highest in Glory Corporation. You can gain a firm foothold.â
Gilda didnât say anything. Only she knew how hardâwon it was.
Harrington Corporation.
The news of Stevenâs arrest reached Jensen immediately. He stood in front of the French window and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
Lanny said, âWe know. So does Selene. She wonât just sit there and wait for death.â
Jensen didnât say anything.
âAre you sure that you promised Jackson to lead Selene out?â
âShe has something that I care about. If Iâdraw her out, she will die with me.â
âButâ¦â Lanny didnât understand, Sean has already met Gilda. She should have known about it.â
Jensen had a headache. âLast time I talked to Gilda, I saw that she was just suspicious and didnât know about it. For some reason, Sean didnât tell Gilda.â
10:16 Sat, 4 May âI havenât seen Sean yet. Donât act rashlyâ
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. He took it out and found that it was a strange number.
Jensen opened the phone and answered it. It was Seleneâs voice, âSteven is arrested. Jensen, you have to protect me.
He didnât say anything.
Selene said impatiently. âYou gave me the money to invest in the east of the city. Some of the people who took charge of this project are big shots in Allath. Now something bad has happened. I donât believe you need some help. If I get caught, I will give you up. Jensen, you have to save melâ
Jensen finished his last cigarette and snorted, âI didnât ask you to tie up Gilda.
Pantherâs tied up and heâs in. What do you want now? âDo you want to get even with me for her?â
âHow can you be sure that he wonât tell on you?â
âHe will protect me even if he dies.â Selene was very sure. âIncluding you, Jensen, you must protect me.â
⦠Letâs meet and talk about it.â
