Chapter 14
It has been a week since Maddie’s whereabouts were not found. Andy’s state is getting worse day by day, and he often makes mistakes even at work.
On that day, Andy, overwhelmed with longing, came to the bar alone to drown his sorrows.
He sat in the booth, with bottle after bottle of whiskey placed in front of him.
The alcohol burned the throat, but could not extinguish the suffocating pain in the chest.
He sent out one group of people after another, but Maddie seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Andy, a playboy like him, always changed women as easily as changing clothes. Before meeting Maddie, he had dated many people, but for some reason, he now seemed so despondent.
At that time, Maddie was still very innocent, saying that she wanted to be with Andy for the rest of her life, but Andy knew he would not marry her.
After all, from beginning to end, Maddie was just a beautiful canary she had raised herself.
Now, he truly regrets. He realizes that besides Maddie, he can’t fit anyone else in his heart.
She was the only irreplaceable person.

“Little Darling… come back, Little Darling…”
Andy murmured to himself while holding a glass of wine, calling out the name he used to call her most often in the past, as if by calling her like this, she would come back to him.
I kept pouring myself alcohol crazily, as if I was determined not to stop until I got myself drunk.
Just as he tilted his head back to drink another glass of wine, a familiar and piercing laughter came from the next table.
“You guys didn’t see Maddie’s face at that moment, what a bitch.”
Andy’s hand, holding the wine glass, suddenly stopped, and even the wine inside woke up halfway.
That sound… was Crystal!
He turned his head slowly and, through the dim light, he saw Crystal sitting with her back to him at the next booth, raising a glass and drinking with a few girlfriends.
“That bitch really thought she could fly up to the branches and turn into a phoenix? How annoying! When I returned to the country, I sent a message to Andy in front of her, saying my car broke down, and she said she had a car accident. Andy immediately chose to come to me, and she finally realized that the person Andy loved was not her at all!”
“Also, do you remember when she was locked in the cold storage and ended up in the hospital? It was actually because I accidentally broke her dad’s heirloom, that crappy old watch. She was treating it like a treasure, so I found it annoying and threw it downstairs. And then this bitch pushed me down the stairs! Luckily, Andy helped me get revenge.”

Crystal’s voice was full of sarcasm, even with a hint of pride, and her group of friends followed suit, laughing and agreeing without any boundaries.
Andy listened silently in the background, his whole body trembling with shock.
The first time he learned the truth, his face turned pale, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he was so angry that he wanted to act immediately.
Originally, when she suddenly messaged herself, it was just to prove to Maddie that she still loved her.
While Maddie’s father’s watch had always been carefully worn on his wrist since she came to his side, he would feel heartbroken even if it was accidentally bumped or scratched. However, Crystal actually just threw it down the stairs.
Andy never imagined that the woman he had loved for years was such a heartless person.
Thinking back to the desolate look in Maddie’s eyes as she watched the two of them being intimate, Andy felt heartbroken. He only regretted that he had misjudged and brought such a scheming woman by his side.
Just as I was about to continue listening to what Crystal had to say, a stranger came up and greeted Crystal.
“Beauty, do you have a partner? Would you like to go for a drink and dance with me?”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing Crystal’s affected and pretentious voice, Andy felt

disgusted.
Crystal followed the man to the center of the dance floor, and the two of them danced closely together. The man’s hands were restless,
moving up and then resting on her round hips.
Sitting in the corner, Andy saw the scene, the bottle in his hand creaking as he gripped it tightly.
The sisters of Crystal were joking in the private room.
“It is said that recently Mr. Loreine refused to share a bed with her. She impatiently made appointments with several people. It seems that she will win over this man again today.”
Upon hearing this, Andy suddenly smashed the bottle, the sound of glass shattering barely audible beneath the loud electronic music.
Sure Crystal, since you enjoyed cheating, today I’ll let you have a good time.
After speaking, he picked up an empty wine bottle and silently walked behind the two people who were dancing.
The man did not reject Crystal when he saw her, so he boldly put his arms around her waist and kissed her. Crystal also took the initiative to climb onto his neck and returned his passionate kiss.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the wine bottle exploded. Before Crystal could even react, the man in front of her was already bleeding from a head wound and collapsing to the ground.
“Ah!!!”

The people in the dance floor immediately screamed and scattered,
while Crystal was also scared to move, watching the unconscious man on the ground.
“Crystal, I saw you were having a blast playing…”
Upon hearing the low voice, Crystal froze in place, trembling with fear all over her body.
And behind her, Andy stood at the intersection of light and shadow, his eyes filled with a terrifying storm.
