Hannah did not even drive her car. She walked some distance to the quieter area away from the main streets and hailed a cab.

She remained uneasy the whole way and only gradually felt better when she was in Chuck’s territory.

The cab stopped at the junction, not directly to Chuck’s residence. This was a tacit understanding they shared after so long.

She walked another distance to keep things under the radar after getting out of the cab. Today, however, she felt like there was a pair of eyes on her from the back when she made a turn into the quiet alley.

Hannah shuddered and jogged on with her head lowered, but the feeling of being watched stayed with her.

She turned around, but there was no one behind her, yet when she moved forward, the footsteps behind her sounded clear in the alley.

She stopped, blinking, and took another alley. Then, she quickly slipped into Chuck’s apartment.

After ensuring no one was following her, she opened the door with a key. The obscene sight that greeted her nearly made her cough blood!

Chuck was f*cking two foreign women on the couch, and they were on the Thurks rug she had bought him!

“Argh! You b*stard! You animal!”

Hannah shrieked and grabbed the vase next to her to throw it at them. The threesome could not react in time, and one of the women got hit on the head, resulting in a large gash and a lot of blood. The other woman ran out in fright without even putting anything on.

Chuck growled and grabbed Hannah by the neck to throw her against the wall. Hysterical cries, a fight, and curses were then heard in the room.

The loud noises went on for more than half an hour before they came to a stop.

When Chuck’s underlings came in to clean things up, Hannah was on the floor with a bruised face, and Chuck’s face also had a few bloodied scratches.
