I inhaled sharply and fell silent.

Something told me that Armond was somehow involved in this, but I was still shaken up upon seeing him

here.

An unknown enemy was terrifying, but it didn’t apply to Armond.

Even though I knew everything about him, I couldn’t predict how evil he could be.

“Boss, how should we punish this fella?” Helga inquired as she pressed her knife further into Marcus’

neck. She seemed eager to spill some blood.

I belatedly realized Helga was working for Armond. Everything made sense now.

Armond strode over to them and proceeded to give Marcus a flying kick, knocking him to the ground.

It seemed that Armond’s strength had improved when he was overseas. Marcus fell to the ground and

lurched backward until he hit the wall.

“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.” Armond placed his palms on his knees and gazed at

Marcus like he was studying his prey. “How dare you try to take what’s mine? Hmm, how should I punish

you?”

Marcus leaned against the wall furiously, but he didn’t utter a word as though he was afraid of Armond.

“Boss, don’t dirty your hands. I’ll handle him,” offered Helga.

I could sense she wanted Marcus to die.

Armond looked at Marcus before turning to look at me. He thought about it, but didn’t agree with her

suggestion. “Forget it. Lock him up. He’s still useful.”

“But Boss—” Helga protested.

Armond cut her off with an icy glare. “Are you questioning my decision?”

“No, of course not.” Helga lowered her gaze and apologized. “I will carry out your order now.”

She turned and left the room. When she returned, there were two armed foreigners behind her. They

took Marcus and dragged him out.

Marcus gave me a strange look before he was dragged away.

By now, even the sleeping babies were awake and wailing due to the earlier commotion. It was total

chaos.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Armond’s voice pulled me out of my reverie. He stepped out while Helga stood guard at the entrance and

glared at me. I immediately went after him.

We went deeper into the factory instead of heading out.

After making a few turns, we entered another room.

There was only a stone bed in the middle of the room with a filament lamp hanging above it.

Once Armond and I entered the room, Helga shut the door and waited outside.

He had his back to me as he walked around the stone bed slowly with one hand on it. I didn’t know what

he was planning.

He spoke after a long moment of silence.

“Scarlett, you’ve disappointed many people in your life. Will you be able to pay them back in this

lifetime?”

Love couldn’t be forced. That was a fact.

However, to someone like Armond, it was my fault for disappointing him.

It was impossible to convince either of us to change, so there was no need to argue with him over the

matter.

I pursed my lips silently and waited to see what would happen next.

Right now, I wanted to know why Armond went through all the trouble to lure me here.

If I couldn’t figure it out, our little family would forever be in danger.

“Do you still remember what I’ve said?”

Armond tapped his fingers on the stone bed and gazed at me with his lips curved up in a smirk.

Stupefied, I gave no comment.

After all, Armond had said many things. It was impossible for me to remember everything he said.

Besides, I didn’t even want to run into him again.
