No one really knew who Dn had at gunpoint. Aaron sent the photo over to the Bradford Corporation, but only he understood why. The courier was almost killed when a truck hit him, flinging him into the roadside greenery. The photo slipped from his hands, stained with a few drops of blood. Struggling to open his eyes, he could only make out a pair of cold, indifferent legs standing over him. Long, slender fingers picked up the photo, and the legs vanished into a car.


    Aaron was waiting for a report from his guy, but after three hours, there was still no news. He casually traced the rim of his cup and smiled. Clearly, Dn was scared of that photo falling into ra''s hands. What was meant to be a simple test turned out to be Dn''s weakness.


    ra had just settled into her seat at the Bradford Corporation when she saw Greysen storming toward her, fury etched on his face.


    "ra!" he bellowed, eyes filled with venom. "Why did you go after Jacob?!" Even if you don''t like him, you can''t just destroy his face-he''s a celebrity!


    ra was confused. What had happened to Jacob?


    Greysen was so angry he almost ground his teeth to dust. He took a deep breath. "Fine, fine, I didn''t want to go this far, but you''ve left me no choice. ra, mark my words, if you can ruin Jacob''s face, I can do the same to Ryan!"


    Jacob was Greysen''s only son, his pride and joy. This morning, when they found Jacob, he was a mess, screaming to stay away from ra like he''d seen a ghost. Greysen''s eyes were bloodshot, nearly bursting with rage. He barely held himself back, but his gaze made ra uneasy.


    She headed to the CEO''s office to find Ryan, who looked worn out, his stubble more pronounced than usual.


    "ra," he greeted her warmly.


    ra sat next to him. "Ryan, do you know what happened to Jacob?"


    Ryan shook his head, rubbing his tired eyes as he continued with his work. "Not really. But this morning, he was found near the Bradford Corporation, and it looks like his face was messed up. He kept calling your name. The board is saying you did it. Those who backed Greysen are now too scared to show up, iming they''re sick."


    In their minds, if ra could take down Jacob so easily, they feared they''d be next. They nned to help Greysen take over the Bradfordpany, but Jacob''s incident scared them off. That''s why only Greysen showed up to confront ra.


    ra was even more puzzled. Jacob left on his own yesterday, and it couldn''t have been Simon.


    Simon might be a jerk emotionally, but he wasn''t that cruel. Besides, he thought he''d already beaten Jacob. So who did it?


    She lowered hershes and turned to Ryan. "Didn''t Greysen call the police?"


    "He did. You got herete, ra. He called them an hour ago. They came by, but after checking the footage, it turns out Jacob cut his own face. Greysen doesn''t believe it."


    Ryan rubbed the back of his hand. "Honestly, I thought it was you."


    ra burst intoughter. "You think I''m that ruthless?"


    Ryan didn''t say anything, but deep down, he did think ra had a certain edge to her.
