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.

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.
