If Waylen had changed his mind, Rena would only feel more disheartened.

Nodding in response to the suggestion, Rena left.

Then, she started on contemplating on whether she should call the man or not. After all, she had turned him down just the night before. Would he be willing to help her if she reached out now?

She let out another sigh, her eyes filled with uncertainty as she stared at the screen of her phone.

For her father’s sake, she must Summon the courage to make the call. To her dismay, his phone was switched off.

Rena felt a surge of despair. She had no idea what she should do right now.

Her brows suddenly furrowed as something came to her. Where was Eloise?

Rena assumed she had gone to the restroom, but she found no sign of her there.

Unease gnawed at her as she started to hastily dial Eloise’s number.

Unfortunately, there was no response either.

A sudden thought struck

Rena, her eyes suddenly widening in fear as she sprinted towards the elevator, relentlessly pressing the button. Trembling, she stood inside the elevator and impatiently tapped her foot.

She closed her eyes, silently hoping that her suspicions weren’t true. As the elevator lifted her up, she continued praying fervently that Eloise hadn’t acted impulsively.

But Rena was too late. Upon reaching the CEO’s office of the Moore Group, chaos unfolded before her Harold leaned against the desk, clutching his abdomen with blood oozing through his fingers.

The sight was horrifying.

Eloise gripped a fruit knife tightly, her words unintelligible to Rena.

With a trembling voice, Rena walked forward in slow, careful steps. She called out, “Eloise!”

Eloise muttered, “If I kill Harold, he won’t be able to hurt Darren and you anymore. Rena, ve warned you countless times that he’s not suitable for you.”

Rena wept, stepping forward to embrace Eloise gently.

“Eloise, don’t be afraid I’m here!”

Harold covered his wound, blood staining his hand.

The secretary attempted to offer basic aid, but he pushed her away and confronted Rena with gritted teeth. “Can’t you see I’m bleeding? Rena, you couldn’t care less whether I’m alive or dead, could you?”

Rena’s gaze turned hollow.

She looked at Harold, the man she once loved so deeply, and felt incredibly strange, as if she had never truly known him.

How could he be so heartless?

Eloise wouldn’t even harm a chicken, let alone wield a knife. Harold must have provoked her and manipulated the situation. “Harold, please let me go,” Rena pleaded, interrupting his impending words.

But before he could respond, Rena knelt down before him. Eloise snapped back to her senses, emitting a strange sound as if she wanted to stop Rena.

However, Rena refused to rise.

Tears filled her eyes, yet determination gleamed within them. In a trembling voice, she spoke, “Mr. Moore, I was young and naive. I shouldn’t have been involved with you. It was my mistake. I implore you, for the kindness I once showed you, please release my father and Eloise. Let them go! Please!”

Witnessing Rena’s profound humility, Eloise burst into tears. Snapping out of it, she apologized to Rena and attempted to pull her back up.

Rena was Darren’s cherished daughter.

Seeing the girl on her knees, begging Harold for mercy, the blood inside Eloise began to boil.

How could she kneel before this monster?

Rena remained motionless, her unwavering gaze fixed on Harold. After four years together, how could he not understand her?

Rena possessed a gentle temperament, but she could be stubborn at times. She had once loved him wholeheartedly, but now she knelt before him to sever their ties.

Gritting his teeth, Harold asked angrily, “What if I refuse to let them go? What do you intend to do, Rena?”

Rena clenched her fists and replied, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose your true nature to the Fowler family?”

“Just try it!’ Harold’s face contorted, a sneer crossing his lips. “And let’s see if Cecilia wil I forgive me, if your entire family will escape unscathed, and if Waylen will come to your aid.”

The mention of Waylen further infuriated Harold.

His eyes suddenly blazed in anger as his chest heaved in and out. At that same moment, Rena finally understood the kind of person Harold truly was. She looked at him as ifs he had just realized something.

While slightly wincing in pain, Harold approached Rena, forcibly lifting her and drawing her closer to him.

He caressed her face and whispered in a low, hoarse voice, “Come back to me! Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might do. Perhaps Eloise will end up imprisoned on charges of assault, and as for Darren…”

He wasn’t even able to finish what he was saying when Rena’s hand struck his face with a resounding slap that echoed throughout the room.

Trembling with anger, she exclaimed, “Harold, you wretched bastard!”

He grabbed her hand tightly, refusing to let go. The grip was so hard that she was sure that it would leave a mark later on.

The man then pressed his face against hers, his voice icy as he murmured, “You didn’t realize it until now? You didn’t say any of this when you had feelings for me back then! You didn’t see me as a wrenched bastard when you eagerly waited for me to kiss you! Rena, back then, you claimed that I was the most handsome man in the world. Have you forgotten your words? Do you need me to help you remember?”

Eloise struggled to rush over to Rena’s aid, but Harold soon let go of Rena and instructed the security guard to restrain Eloise.

His voice dripped with coldness as he commanded, “Call the police. Inform them that this woman deliberately attacked and injured me.”

Rena reached for his hand, desperately trying to hold on.

Yet, Harold forcefully shook her off, licking the blood from his lips as he sneered, “Rena, you truly know how to make me angry.” Not long after, the wailing sirens of approaching police cars grew louder and louder.

Upon realizing the unfortunate fate that awaited her, Rena’s face turned pale.

Harold was shameless and vile. He was a true bastard!

She closed her eyes briefly before reopening them, softly saying, “Please, don’t be angry. I’m apologizing to you on Eloise’s behalf.”

Hearing this, the man sat on the sofa and extended his hand out to her.

Hands now stained with the man’s blood, she slowly raised it as well. As she reached back to him, she gently placed her palm on his.

Eloise fought desperately against the security guards‘ grasp, her mind racing with the implications of Rena’s involvement with the vile Harold.

“Rena, you can’t go with this bastard! How will I ever explain this to your father?”

Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps filled the room, growing louder with each passing second. The door swung open, revealing several policemen who entered with an air of authority.

Eloise’s mind raced, and in a moment of desperation, she cried out, “I hurt Harold! Arrest me! Take me away! I am willing to face the consequences of my actions, even to spend the rest of my life behind cold prison walls, but please, don’t harm Rena! Harold, I’m begging you!”

Kneeling on the floor, Eloise clutched her head, overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness, remorse, and regret.

She hated herself for being powerless, for acting on impulse, and for allowing Harold’s manipulations to drag Rena down. The scene that unfolded before them was completely unexpected. The policemen turned their attention to Harold and inquired, their voices laced with curiosity, “Mr. Moore, what is going on here?”

Harold, aware of the gravity of the situation, gently took hold of Rena’s trembling hand and guided her to sit beside him.

Rena’s body quivered violently, and an ache of disappointment settled in Harold’s heart.
