Ste didn''t insist and simply nodded.
Foreman still had to deal with the share transfer agreement.
After talking with Ste for a little longer, he left again.
Ste watched his retreating back, her eyes deep and unreadable.
She could have stalled for more time, waiting until she understood the situation here before negotiating with him.
She could wait, but Joshua couldn''t.
Being dered dead was far more cruel than being missing, and Ste had no idea what was happening on the outside.
But since Foreman had teamed up with Aurora and the others, their n was surely wless.
Joshua was still undergoing treatment. She couldn''t gamble with his health.
That was why she had signed the transfer agreement so quickly-to let everyone on
the outside know that she wasn''t dead, that she was still alive.
Despite this, a shadow of gloom still hung over Ste''s heart.
The next day, Foreman brought food to Ste again.
Ste observed him carefully, taking in every subtle change in his expression.
However, the more she watched, the heavier her heart became.
There was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes, a clear sign that his n was proceeding smoothly.
Ste was frantic with worry, but she couldn''t let any of it show on her face.
She didn''t argue with Foreman, nor did she try to negotiate terms.
She knew that by involving Deanna''s death, Foreman had already passed the point of no return. He wouldn''t be swayed by a few simple words.
And while she had signed the agreement, she couldn''t pin all her hopes on others.
After she finished eating, Ste asked, "Are you freeter? Can you take me for a walk?"
Her cooperation had made Foreman''s attitude toward her much gentler.
"Alright. I''ll take you for a brief walk in a bit."
He still wanted a future with Ste, so he naturally didn''t want to push her too hard.
His only regret was that the toxins in his body still needed some time to clear, preventing him from being intimate with her for now.
But he wasn''t in a rush. As long as Joshua was out of the picture, not even Haynes could stop him.
It wasn''t until she left the room that Ste confirmed she was in a two-level basement.
Perhaps intending for a long-term stay, the basement was fully equipped with all sorts of rooms.
A study, an art studio, a gym, a home theater, and more.
Ste discreetly nced toward the main door.
The lock required not only a passcode and fingerprint, but also an iris scan.
Foreman had gone to great lengths to ensure she couldn''t escape.
Ste now had a preliminary understanding of her surroundings.
Over the next few days, whenever Foreman visited, Ste would ask to go for a walk.
Later, she asked if she could spend some time reading in the study.
Although Ste''s attitude toward Foreman was somewhat cold, it wasn''t terrible.
Foreman was eager to make her happy, and as long as her requests weren''t excessive, he usually agreed.
After all, she only gained her freedom when he was present.
Over time, maybe Ste would genuinely grow to depend on him in a new way.

One day, Ste suddenly said to Foreman, "I''m kind of craving a steak dinner Could you bring me one next time youe?"
Foreman wasn''t afraid of her making requests; he was afraid of her asking for nothing at all.
"Of course, Foreman immediately
agreed
"F''ll bring you a steak dinner
tomorrow. From that ce your and

Ste nodded lightly.
The next day, Foreman arrived with the steak as promised.
As Ste cut into her steak, she asked, "When can I leave this ce?"
At her words, Foreman''s expression darkened inexplicably.
Haynes was watching him too closely; he didn''t dare make any rash moves.
Any action he took would surely be discovered by Haynes.
Foreman''s gaze flickered. "Just a

Ste then asked, "Did you give the share transfer agreement to Aurora?"
