Chapter 5: The Torned Photo


    Jennifer was toote when she realised it and tried to take the photo back. Hans was 185cm tall and


    she can barely reached for his nose even in high heels. He managed to dodge her even when she


    tiptoed.


    Looking at her blushing face, Hans curled his thin lips into a cold smile and said, "Why are you so


    anxious? Did you steal some secret information from me when I''m not here and try to sell it to your


    partners?"


    In recent years, the Miller''s family had made plenty of rivals. There were manypanies that would


    want to destroy Joy Group. However, Jennifer would never expect that Hans would actually suspect her


    as a corporate spy.


    Even though she was used to his meanments, she could not help but feel disheartened at this


    moment.


    "Give it back to me!" She was nervous and reached for the photo.


    "What if I say no?" He looked at her jumping up and down with interest. It was as if he was very


    interested in their interaction. Her face was flushed red and kind of seductive.

    His expressionless face seemed to have a little emotions.


    Then, he lowered his head and looked at the prize he had seized from her.


    Jennifer knew it was toote to take it back, so she stopped grabbing the photo, and started to exin


    instead, "I... I saw it by ident, not..."


    Time stopped.


    When Hans saw the person in the photo clearly, the smile on his face slowly froze. Instead, his


    demeanour turned cold.


    The woman with an oval-shaped face in the photo looked gentle and charming. She was so girlish and


    innocent, like a newly bloomed flower.


    That was his most cherished memory.


    That was until he found out about the truth.


    From then on, his illusion waspletely shattered.


    "This photo was mine anyway..." Noticing the gloomy expression on Hans''s face, Jennifer''s heart was


    in turmoil. She thought that she had angered him by stealing. She faintly asked with her pale lips, "Why


    do you have it here?"


    Her voice was getting lower and lower and she felt uneasy.


    Hans looked terrifying.


    "I... If you want it, you can keep it." She generously offered him.


    She only hoped that he would stop his cold expression. She could freeze to death in this office.


    "Oh..." After a long time, Hans''s thin lips finally moved as if he had just came to his senses.


    Hans clenched the photo in his fist and looked up at her. "Don''t tell me you think I''m fond of this


    photo?"


    Jennifer was stunned. She turned to his raised hand and she widened her eyes in surprise. "What?"


    She didn''t seem to understand him.


    The next moment, a ripping sound came out of nowhere, breaking the silence of the room.


    The photo was suddenly torn in half and Hans held it in his hands. He squeezed the torned photo in his


    bony fingers and crushed it.


    His sudden actionpletely stunned Jennifer.


    "You — "


    She was at a loss for words at that moment.


    "If I ever give you any fake hope, I will crush it right now." Hans sneered. He stepped forward and


    pinched her chin with his cold fingers, and whispered, "Jennifer, do you know why I keep the photo?"


    His cold eyes and the wild charm on his face formed an extreme contrast.


    Every word seemed to be squeezed out from his thin lips.


    "Because its existence is a constant reminder for me that the innocence on your face is just an


    act!"
