Chapter 89

Jocelyn glanced at the ashtray he was offering, but she didn’t take it.

Instead, she asked him flatly. “And who exactly are you to me?”

She had just turned away when she spun back around, her gaze landing on the official in the comer, who was too afraid to move. She said, each word deliberate and heavy, “I couldn’t care less about my own career. But as for yours, it’s finished.”

With that, she left without any hesitation.

Melvin hurried after her and grabbed her hand. He frowned when he saw tears streaking her cheeks-a sight he hadn’t witnessed earlier.

He pulled her to his car, opened the door and pushed her inside.

Jocelyn didn’t resist. She had no strength left and knew Melvin wouldn’t let her go easily.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying? Melvin had been holding his breath the whole way along, thinking it had been let out. But her lifeless act ignited his anger all over again.

The river water was cold. Jocelyn suddenly took another step forward and the water was now over her shoulders. All of a sudden, she plunged headfirst into the depths.

Panic instantly seized Melvin.
