“Find out for me! Where did Crystal go? Make sure to contact the police in advance, absolutely do not let her call the police!!”
After hanging up the phone, Andy angrily smashed his phone against the wall.
Why were you so careless last night that you let her run away!
Andy smoked one cigarette after another in the study, and the ashtray quickly piled up with a thick layer of ash.
Just as he was anxiously waiting, the assistant’s phone rang.
“Mr. Loreine, there is news!”
“The coast guard recovered a blood–stained jacket in the western sea, which was the one Crystal was wearing when she escaped! She had no identification documents, so she must have smuggled herself abroad.”
“Mr. Loreine, rest assured, for someone like her without any legal status, no one will investigate even if she dies.”
After listening to the report, Andy expressionlessly formatted the surveillance video of Crystal escaping with injuries all over her body.
Since she was able to escape on her own ability, he decided not to blame her and let her go.
Since she left, Andy couldn’t be bothered anymore. His mental state deteriorated even further, and he spent his days drowning his sorrows in the bar.

He began to change women like changing clothes, each time
consuming the most expensive champagne tower, and then selecting his desired target among the crowd of ladies.
“Mr. Loreine, according to your instructions, everyone is here.”
A row of young and beautiful girls stood in front of Andy. The bartender gathered all the girls who looked like Maddie in the bar according to the photo Andy provided.
At this moment, Andy was already drunk, his eyes blurred. He pointed to the girl who looked most like her and asked her to stay, while everyone else was driven out.
The chosen girl was very happy. It was rumored that Mr. Loreine from the Loreine Group had a long–term girlfriend and never went out with anyone else. Others who wanted to flatter him had no chance.
Now that the woman has disappeared, many people are waiting for an opportunity that he has chosen.
She sat obediently by Andy’s side, taking care of him as he had already lost consciousness.
“Come, Mr. Loreine, I’ll accompany you for a drink.”
“Little Darling… Is it really you… Have you forgiven me?”
Looking at the girl beside him, Andy suddenly became emotional and hugged her, as if he had regained some kind of precious treasure.
The same almond–shaped eyes, the same lip shape, even the curve of the eyelashes trembling when looking down are exactly the same.
“I was wrong, I really know I was wrong Maddie… In this world, I only love you.”

With that, he suddenly kissed the girl, prying open her teeth and forcing his way in, with such force that he even bit her lips until they bled.
Tears welled up in Andy’s eyes as he wished desperately for Maddie to come back to him, to belong to him and only him for the rest of their lives.
The atmosphere became more and more subtle, and Andy let out a series of emotional sighs.
The next second, a comfortable moan spilled from the girl’s lips, surprising Andy.
This was not Maddie’s voice!
Andy’s eyes darkened in an instant, as if a storm was about to brew.
“You are not Maddie at all!! Get out of here!!”
“Mr. Loreine, it was you who personally picked me out, do you remember?”
“I’ll say it one last time… Get out of here!!!”
The wine bottle smashed against the wall, causing Andy’s hand to be cut by the shards of glass. Blood kept pouring out as the girl screamed and ran away.
From that day on, for a whole week, Andy would choose a female. companion and then push her away in a frenzy.
The girls in the night club had already figured out his temper and dared not approach this madman again.
Excessive drinking in succession caused his already weak stomach to

develop a serious problem.
That day, a dancer was serving him when suddenly, Andy seemed to feel a sharp pain and fell to the ground.
“Help! Someone help! Mr. Loreine was spitting up blood!”
The girl was so scared that she couldn’t stop shaking, afraid that the Loreine Group would link Andy’s fainting to herself. The bartenders rushed to the scene, quickly called an ambulance, and took Andy to the hospital.
In the emergency room to which he was taken, the hospital beds were stained red with the blood Andy had vomited. He curled up in unbearable pain, his face pale, and eventually fainted from the inability to support himself.
The red light in the emergency room was blinding, and the last thing that appeared in his consciousness was Maddie.
In the darkness, Maddie walked away from the unfamiliar man in front of her, her expression calm as if she was looking at a stranger.
And he kept sinking into a black whirlpool, sinking to the bottom.
“Maddie!!!”
Andy woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, and looked up to see the hospital’s white ceiling.
“You woke up.”
The attending doctor stood beside him, holding the diagnostic report, with a serious expression on his face.
“Your stomach problem is so serious, yet you dare to drink so much

alcohol! Your stomach is bleeding heavily, do you know that if you had come any later, you wouldn’t have been able to save your life!”
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Andy slowly became aware of the soreness all over his body, while the burning pain in his stomach was particularly pronounced.
Having narrowly escaped death, he suddenly had a moment of realization.
In the dream, Maddie’s final image seemed to be saying goodbye to him.
He knew deep down that his relationship with Maddie was beyond repair, and he might have to spend the rest of his life in regret.
After spending some time recuperating in the hospital, Andy was finally able to make an appearance.
What puzzled him was that during this period, he had made countless calls to his assistant, but none of them were answered.
He never used to do such things. In the past, he would answer the phone after no more than three rings. Is something wrong?
With no time to spare, he left the hospital and took à taxi back to the company alone, his face looking unhappy. He wanted to find his assistant and ask what had happened.
However, when he arrived at the Loreine Group building, the security guard actually stopped him outside the door.
“What do you mean? Don’t you know who I am?! How dare you stop
me?!”
Andy picked up an umbrella from the umbrella stand nearby and was

about to leave when a familiar voice came from a distance.
“Mr. Loreine, your position has already been removed. Please do not enter and exit the building at will in the future.”
The assistant suddenly walked up to him, looking very proud.
Standing next to him was Andy’s archenemy, Zackary Mosley.
“Sorry, Mr. Loreine, due to your prolonged absence from the company, the board of directors, along with all shareholders, have jointly submitted a letter of dismissal. In the future, the Loreine Group will be renamed the Mosley Group.”
Listening to the assistant’s malicious and sinister voice, Andy was so angry that he trembled all over and violently struck the umbrella on the assistant’s body.
“Security! Someone is causing trouble! Throw him out!!”
The next moment, Andy was pushed to the ground by a group of security guards, punched and kicked. The once dominant Andy, in the trap he set, completely became a pawn.
