Foreman didn''t hide it from her. "I''ve already given it to her. But a share transfer isn''t as simple as a normal transaction. It''s not something that can bepleted in a short amount of time.
However, she seems very confident. I assume she''s already found someone from the Lerman family to cooperate.
Plus, she already holds Leonard''s shares, so it should be a bit easier for her."
Ste asked another question. "How is Joshua now?"
The temperature in the room seemed to plummet.
A shadow fell over Foreman''s refined features, leaving his expression unreadable and cold.
"Star, you''re still thinking about him?"
Ste raised an eyebrow. "Is that strange? Foreman, you haven''t known me for just
a day or two. You should know exactly what kind of person I am."
Foreman unconsciously clenched his fists.
Suddenly, there was a sh of movement, and Foreman instinctively dodged to the side.
The steak knife in Ste''s hand plunged into his shoulder.
A look of wounded disbelief filled Foreman''s eyes, his voice trembling.
"Star, you''re trying to kill me?!"
The knife had struck his shoulder, but it felt as if it had pierced his heart.
Foreman could no longer control his emotions, his eyes turning red as he demanded, "Star, I love you so much! You''re all I think about! Why would you try to kill me?!"
At that moment, Foreman was in a state of utter frenzy.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?!" Ignored his wound, Foremanshed out in a blind, desperate rage. "What''s so good about that liar Joshua?! Why is it that you forgive him for everything he does, that you love him no matter what! But everything I do, you hate?"
The more critical the moment, the clearer and more decisive Ste''s mind became.
She yanked the knife out and, with all her strength, stabbed it into Foreman''s leg. Foreman hadn''t expected her to attack again after her first attempt failed. His eyes gleamed with a wild light, his face a mask of heartbroken betrayal.
"Why are you doing this to me, why?!"
Naturally, Ste didn''t stay to talk. She had chosen a seat close to the door when they were eating.
Foreman had let his guard down around hertely and hadn''t locked the door after entering.
Ste escaped the room with ease.
Over the past few days, she had familiarized herself with theyout of the ce during her walks with Foreman.
She was on the second basement level. Below it was a third level, where the exit was located.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the quiet corridor.
Ste nced at the stairs leading
down but chose not to
Insta
she hid in a dark shadow
where the light couldn''t reach.
Thanks to the methods Leonard had used to kidnap her, Foreman was also worried about being hacked, so there were no security camerasin the entire basement
Once Foreman''s footsteps faded, Ste emerged from the darkness.
She silently followed him.
Ste had assumed Foreman would head for the main exit to find her.
To her surprise, he rushed into the study instead.
Ste''s eyes narrowed as she vaguely realized something.
Risking discovery, she crept to the study door and held her breath, listening.
The faint sound of something hitting a wall came from within the study.
The noise wasn''t loud, but in the dead silence, it was jarring.
A hidden mechanism!
So, the high-tech lock on the main door had been a decoy. The real passage to the outside was hidden in this study.
Foreman must have thought she''d found the mechanism, which was why he had rushed to the study.
Realizing this, Ste didn''t hesitate. She quickly slipped into Foreman''s study.
As she entered, the secret passage in the bookshelf was slowly closing.
Ste didn''t rush to follow. Instead, she found a heavy vase in the study, took it in her hands and waited by theokshelf.
Five minutester, the bookshelf door opened again. Ste swung the vase with all her might.
