Shane stood by the fence, dressed in a black down jacket. His posture was as straight as a pine tree. His eyes blazing like torches as he looked into the distance.

Beside him, five people, including Cole, were waiting. When Rick came out of the ward, Cole immediately led the remaining four people to guard the door, fearing that Kendall might escape like a fly. "The result," Shane said without even looking at Rick.

"Just do as you please."

"Very well."

Rick stood beside Shane and eyed him up and down.

If he were a woman, he would probably be enamored with this man too.

However, just like the countless women who were in love with him, he didn't dare to make a move, didn't dare to even think about it. He would just silently leave, keeping his feelings away in his heart. Suddenly, Shane turned to face Rick and said, "You still didn't pass the test that I gave you."

"Test? Doing that kind of thing to Lottie also counts as a test for me? True. I should be like a robot who has no emotions. I should've just let you assault my wife and love her as if nothing had happened, right?" Rick sneered.

"At that time, you two were neither engaged nor a couple."

"How strange is that? Is Mr. Fuller saying that as long as there's a woman that you like in this world, and as long as she's single, you can just throw her on the bed and do whatever you want?"

"I will only ever be in love with one person."

"Then who was the person who talked about marrying Tiffany?"

"That's already in the past."

"You said that you love her but have you ever confessed your love to her?"

Shane remained silent.

Rick laughed out loud. His tone turned colder as he said, "Do you know how I got through all these days? I drank before dawn, drank until it was time for work, and stayed up late at night to continue drinking. I hardly fell asleep for the past half month. And no one knows about all that." "Is that why you ordered Kendall to team up with

Elaine to kidnap Charlotte and Sheryl?" "I'm not that tawdry. I was still thinking of reconciling with her. I also thought that maybe I should apologize first, but I never thought that Kendall would really do such a thing. She is not a bad person at heart."

Shane trusted him on this point, so he didn't say anything else and stopped looking at him. He shifted his gaze to the scenery that he was looking at earlier.

Rick was still looking at him. He was trying to search for any emotion on his face, but he couldn't find any.

At this moment, Shane behaved just like a machine.

There was no emotion on his face.

"I have a deep affection for Charlotte, so why must you keep appearing around her?" Rick almost gnashed his teeth in anger while asking him.

"You didn't look for me after the incident."

"So?"
