Clarice's gaze was sharp and sinister as she fixed her eyes on Jace, who was standing at the front of the car.

She wanted nothing more than to step on the accelerator and run him down, crushing this wretched man to death. But Jace was the Boss's trusted right-hand man, so she could not afford to act recklessly.

Clarice wrapped her white fur coat tightly around herself, slowly stepped out of the car, and slowly approached Jace.

Their gazes locked, creating a tense, turbulent confrontation.

"Jace, don't you have something to explain to me?" Clarice broke the silence with a frosty

tone.

Jace's pale lips opened stiffly. "That woman, where did you take her?"

"How dare you question me?" Clarice sneered, her anger flaring up. "If the Boss hadn't had the foresight to have me cover for you tonight, Yvonne would've long escaped!"

Clarice gritted her teeth and took a step closer. "Is this how you're handling the task our boss put you in charge of? Aren't you the one who takes out anyone who gets in your way, no matter who they are? Yet you couldn't even deal with a little nobody? Or... Did you let her go on purpose? Are you thinking of betraying the Boss?"
