Standing in front of her , Jared looked calm and indifferent , the arch of his brow revealing his sense of superiority . Could she really threaten him ? Maybe in this moment , yes - but afterward , could she handle the consequences ? She bit her lip , her voice trembling . " Jared , I - I'm begging you- " Before she could finish , her phone rang inside her bag . It was an unknown number . At such a critical moment , she didn't answer and hung up immediately . She looked at Jared again and continued where she'd left off . " As long as you help Henry , I'll do anything you want ! " " What do you think you can even do ? " Jared's tone and expression made no attempt to hide his contempt for her . He didn't actually need her to do anything . He just wanted her to go back to being the docile woman who used to obey him . Now she was bristling with thorns . She didn't hurt him , but he couldn't stand the sight of her like this - acting as if she were the one who had suffered some great injustice , as if he'd done something terribly wrong. Lily had no words . What did she have that could possibly please Jared ? In the past two years , the only time she'd ever made him lose control was in bed . Nothing else she ever did had caught his attention for even a second . She lowered her gaze . Her thick lashes cast a small shadow beneath her eyes as she fell silent . Jared leaned casually against the edge of the desk , raising his hand to grip her chin . He stared at her pale , smooth face like she was merchandise on display . " Do you know what you did wrong ? " 1/5 10:54 Thu , Sep 11 The office door suddenly burst open . Someone rushed in . " Mr. Jared , Ms. Sarah's in trouble . Please , you have to come right away ! " The loud noise startled Lily . She instinctively leaned toward Jared . But the next second , he shoved her away . Her hip slammed into the edge of the desk with a thud . Pain shot through her so sharply that cold sweat broke out on her forehead . She gasped . Meanwhile , Jared had already dropped Timothy's phone and rushed toward the door in a panic . " What happened to Sarah ? " His silhouette vanished from the office , his anxious voice fading as he ran off . By the time Lily recovered from the pain , he was gone . He'd left - clearly in a hurry . There probably wouldn't be time for him to contact Mr. Randall now . As long as she got to the law office first and signed the agreement , Mr. Randall would have to take Henry's case . " Timothy , thank you ." She left those words behind and rushed out of the office , clutching her waist . As she exited Cloud Corp , Jared's Maybach happened to be pulling out of the underground garage . Through the window , she caught a glimpse of his tense profile as the car sped past her without slowing . Maybe he didn't see her . Or maybe ... he saw her but didn't care . 4/5 10:54 Thu , Sep 11 She was actually grateful to Sarah - for getting into trouble at just the right moment and giving her this chance to save Henry . Lily forced herself to focus and got a cab straight to the Ginger family home . When she arrived , only Azure was there . The moment she saw Lily , she rushed over . " Did you find Mr. Randall ? " " I came to get the case files . I'll take them to Mr. Randall's office . Mom , don't worry . It'll be- " Lily didn't dare promise she'd found Mr. Randall . After all , it was still uncertain whether she'd get there before Jared . Azure's eyes were red and puffy , her face haggard . Lily was about to offer some comfort , but Azure cut her off . " There's a backup copy here . Take it ! " The evidence was a dashcam video that clearly recorded the moment Henry hit the pedestrian . She shoved it into Lily's hands and pushed her toward the door . " Call me if anything happens ! " The doorway was narrow . Lily didn't have time to watch where she was going and bumped her arm against the frame with a dull thud . She instinctively cradled her elbow . Azure glanced at her arm , then quickly looked around . " Where's your car ? " " I ... I was in a hurry . I took a cab ." Lily winced in pain .
