ediately. “You released him? Who authorised you to do that? She caused <b>Ryan’s </b>death. How could you let him go?”
In the bedroom, Jim listened as Maria confronted the neer.
Maria stayed calm. “My dad ordered me to free him, and I have to follow hismand. If <b>you </b>have questions, take them up with him.”
Grady was furious. “How dare you!”
His eyes moved from Maria to the bedroom door, a look of suspicion crossing his face. He then began to push the door open.
At that moment, Maria interrupted, “He is injured and couldn’t have gone far. He is probably still in Everthorn.
Grady paused his actions.
Maria went on, “He might be getting medical treatment somewhere. Rather than staying here with me, you should send someone to find him and take steps to avenge Ryan. However, I must warn you to proceed carefully, as that person has powerful connections, and we need to avoid bringing trouble to the family.”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Grady stared deeply into her eyes
Maria returned his gaze steadily.
After a tense moment, Grady and his men left.
Once they departed, Maria quickly went back to the room and ordered her men, “Bring him to me.”
When Grady’s subordinates told him that the person was still held by Maria, she had already taken the person and escaped.
Jim <b>was </b>escorted by Maria to the border town, Arrowvale, a location marked by disorder.
Jim realised that although the young girl before him appeared harmless, she held a fierce and ruthless. nature. He understood that while she might not n to harm him, Ryan’s father would certainly do so. Thus, he cooperated diligently throughout the journey.
However, Maria, a pampered youngdy known for <i>her </i>capricious temperament since childhood<b>, </b>was not easily pleased. Upon reaching their destination, mere displeasure prompted her tosh out at Jim with her whip, without a shred of justification.
She tore the new shirt Jim had donned.
She looked at his blood–stained white shirt with contentment and thus let him go momentarily. She even called the doctor to get his wounds treated.
After Jim’s wounds were tended to again, he sighed and asked, “Hey, where are my <b>sses</b>?”

Jim narrowed his eyes.

Maria observed his blurred vision, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and then leaned in to inspect them closely.
Jim stated. “I suffer from severe myopia. Without my sses, I can barely see.”
Maria waved a dagger, saying, “Since you can barely see, maybe I should just take your eyes.”
Jim replied, “Your uncle will catch up <b>soon</b>. Are you sure you want to run off with a visually impaired
man?”
Maria responded, “Why would I want to escape with you? Once he catches up, I can keep tormenting you. And when I’m done, I’ll let him dole out the punishment.”
Jim questioned, “Then why didn’t you deliver me to your uncle sooner?”
Maria remarked, “You were captured by me. Why would I
give you to him?”
Jim deduced, “You’re afraid that if I die, the Warners will have trouble exining it to my dad.
Maria dered, “Tit for tat! And why do you think the Warners would fear your dad?”
Jim countered, “I didn’t kill anyone. I just ignited a couple of your family’s auction houses. If you doubt me, <b>ask </b>about a man named Josh Warner.”
“Why should I believe you? Even if you didn’t do it yourself, it was probably your associates. You set fire to my family’s auction house, so I’ll teach you a lesson,” <b>Maria </b>challenged.
Deep into the night, Maria showered, dried her lovely brown curly hair, and came out of the bathroom.
Jim was tied to a chair in her room.
Perhaps assuming that Jim, who had lost his sses, was visually impaired, she, in her nightgown, paid no mind to him.
Maria dried her hair, got into bed, and drifted off <b>to </b>sleep, seemingly lowering her guard around the visually impaired Jim.
In the middle of the night, Maria slept peacefully, a dagger resting against her delicate neck.
Under the moonlight, Jim’s deep, luminous ck eyes seemed to pierce into the depths of people’s souls.
He bore no resemnce to someone severely visually impaired.
Discovering she had been tricked, Maria was furious.
“If you dare to act, I’ll sever your head and serve you up as a feast for the leopards,” Jim warned with a chilling <b>tone</b>.
Unfazed by the threat, Maria met his gaze with unwavering determination, her eyes devoid of fear, instead emanating a fierce intensity.
Outside the door, a contingent of guards stood watch. Jim sidled up to her, his voice <b>a </b><b>hushed </b>whisper. “You’re <b>young </b>and beautiful, vet so cruel. I’m debating whether to start by removing your hands or tosh

you with a whip soaked in saltwater, stripping awayyers of your skin.”
Finished
Jim, without his sses and holding a dagger, no longer embodied the ideals of righteousness and legal principles.
Upon hearing his words, Maria was engulfed by terror, her body quivering and tears brimming in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks.
