Looking at the palm prints on John's and Nina's faces, Isabella felt much better.

Isabella never forgot that Nina slapped her.

As for John, Isabella raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly at him.

"Mr. Shi, you're a businessman. Two slaps for a secret, and I've already told you the secret,"

Isabella said slowly. If they wanted to know more, they needed to pay more.

Now that John and Nina had slapped themselves, it was time to get revenge for the Zhang family almost going bankrupt. That was Nina's fault, at least from Isabella's point of view.

If Albert hadn't given Isabella a way out back then, she might have been down and out herself.

Isabella would make Nina pay for that.

Pondering this for a while, Isabella felt that she couldn't do it now, because the answer to John's second question was her only bargaining chip.

Tonight, she made John slap himself in the face. He'd probably never let that slide.

So she couldn't reveal the secret yet.

That was the only thing which could save her in the future.

"Mr. Shi, I'm afraid I can't answer your second question, because I've already taken my revenge. You two will be staying here for one night. We'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

She turned to her men and said, "Dowse the fire. They're pretty healthy. They don't need it too warm in here.

up on John.

Nina knew something bad would happen so she turned and ran full tilt, trying to overtake the thugs.

"Now it begins," Isabella said to herself. She was there, only a half-meter away from Nina and John. She looked even more sinister, shrouded by the night. She wore a cruel smile.

"Ah!" Isabella screamed and pretended to stagger. She reached out and pushed Nina.

Nina lost her balance and instinctively tried to steady herself against the window. But the broken glass sliced her in several places, and now she was even worse off. Recoiling from the pain, she started tumbling through the window frame.

The ground spun crazily as she fell.

Her eyes went wide in surprise. Nina never expected to be overpowered by Isabella.

Nina stopped breathing for an instant. When she thought she was about to fall off the building and die, she heard a scream. "Nina!"

It was John.

He bent over the window and reached out to grab Nina, but only touched her fingertips and watched her fall.

She was hard to see in the darkness.

Without thinking too much, John hurled himself forward.

"Mr. Shi!"

"Mr. Shi! Mrs. Shi!"

Startled, Amy and Lena pushed the men out of the way and ran towards the window.

They could see John holding Nina in his arms. They were falling rapidly.

This was the third floor!
