So there they went, sulking away through the wilderness. They couldn't catch a ride and had to trek it on foot.

As they walked, Tina complained about her aching feet in her high heels. "Mr. Ramirez could've at least sent a car for us. If I hurt my feet, I'll never hear the end of it from those other ladies tomorrow." The high-society women were all about perfection; none of them would let a single flaw slide.

Maurice was getting fed up with her constant whining. "You spend all day chattering about petty things like this! When are you going to start caring about the company?" "What do you mean 'when'? I care plenty! All this effort to connect with the socialites is to get their husbands to help you out. If you had any ambition, I wouldn't have to work this hard!" Tina felt completely justified in her frustration But barely had the words left her mouth when Maurice slapped her hard, sending her tumbling to the ground. "Say that again?!" He stood over her, his expression dark and menacing. Tina was stunned, her heart racing as she looked up.

In the dimming light, she suddenly realized that while she was still living a life of luxury, her husband had grown thinner and more sullen, his cheeks hollow and his demeanor almost sickly.

"Hubby..." she called out, her voice trembling, scared to even express her anger.

Maurice felt his phone buzzing in his pocket and pulled it out. His heart dropped as he saw a flood of text messages from various banks, all rejecting his loan applications.

'What's happening?' he thought. Just when he had let off ssteam and felt a bit of relief, everything went dark before his eyes, and he staggered back a couple of steps.

"Dad, are you okay?" Harriet rushed over to support him, her voice shaky, clearly frightened after witnessing the earlier scene.

Maurice looked down at her and suddenly remembered Warren's connections with the banks. He had only been able to secure loans previously because Warren had pulled strings for him. Now, with all the banks suddenly refusing him, he was sure Warren was behind it.

The cold threat from Warren echoed in his mind: 'Be prepared to pay the price! In a sudden rash decision, he grabbed Harriet and swung her toward Tina.

Harriet let out a sharp scream as her head hit a rock, blood pouring out immediately.

Tina instinctively rushed to her daughter, screaming, “Maurice, have you lost your mind?!" "Yes, I have! I must have been crazy to marry you and raise a child that isn't even mine! Now look where I've ended up!" Maurice threw his head back and laughed, rage flashing in his eyes.

He stepped towards Tina, fists flying in a furious assault, yelling, "Who the hell taught you to schagainst Warren? You fools! Ignorant fools!" The path in the mountains quickly grew silent, save for the echoes of screams.

Meanwhile, Quinlyn led the group into the jungle. At first, they could still see traces of the military search about three to four hundred meters in, as most of the missing students had already been sent out.

Quinlys reminded the group Michael nodded and took the lead, spreading everyone out to search quickly.

Quinlyn glanced at the indicator light on the anti-magnetic device, the magnetic field here had surged beyond eighty times normal levels, making it tough for an average person to handle. She wondered how Warren and the others had managed to push through it, but that wasn't the most pressing issue.....

As she pondered, Warren suddenly spoke up hesitantly. "Quinlyn, so it was you who savedback there? Quinlyn turned around and saw him looking awkward, glancing at his head. "Have you been to the hospital to check if your brain's okay?" Warren thought to himself, "That was harsh But her calm tone didn't feel like an insult, making him feel even more uncertain. He scratched his head and said, Tm sorm I didn't recognize you sooner. I didn't mean to cause so many misunderstandings." "I see," Quinlyn replied with a nod, accepting his apology.

Warren let out a sigh of relief and laughed. "So can we be friends now? I've always thought you were really something since the beginning When Harriet bad-mouthed Quinlyn, Warren agreed to see Quinlyn because he mostly wanted an excuse to approach her.

But despite her young age, she was hard to read. Even now, when complimented, her face remained expressionless as she shot back bluntly, "No" Warren was taken aback.

Quinlyn stood up and gazed out at the endless jungle ahead, her voice somewhat what cold in the dim light. "If we can't find Stanley and Larry, you're my enemy They were in danger because of Warren.

Warren's smile faded, turning into a straight line, and his voice dropped. "Don't worry. I may not be a good Buy Gray person, but I won't use a bunch of kids as shields. If we can't find them, I won't leave." Quinlyn shot him a glance, tightening the straps on her backpack. "Let's go then."

Michael had already spotted the path. The footprints on the ground were messy, but several patterns were distinguishable, matching the number of people in Stanley's group. Strangely, their route was slanting westward. "Why would they head this way?" Michael wondered aloud.

Normally, if someone were lost, the path wouldn't be so clear, but it was obvious that Stanley and the others had a goal in mind.

Quinlyn thought for a moment, pulled a military training map from her pack, and pointed to a specific marker. "They're trying to complete the mission." 3/3 AD Comment Send gift mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
