An angels face with a devils heart .

ver the years .

Til kept a quiet eye on what was happening in Wahid City .

A menth ago , an employee from the Sento Group was investigated for eruption and bribery , and later that evening , he jumped to his death after leaving a suicide note , I expected this news to send the rentes Croups stock price plummeting , but to my surprise , the opposite happened .

The companys team medhately held a press conference , where the deceaseds wife , in front of countless cameras , publicly apologized to the сопрану base , representing the company , not only forgave the wife , but he also ensured the received the mans salary and a compensation package , a generous and forgiving company naturally garnered the support and approval of many investors .

Especially after Isaacs statement during erview , where he said The deceased comes first , causing the widow to break down in tears , He even promises that part of the companys cammings would go toward a charity fund to help working class families whose children were suffering freens illnesse meant to be a crnos , baac turned into an opportunity , saving the Seento Groups reputation and giving them a free advertisement .

Of course , his true reason for starting the charity wasnt solely for sick children it was part of his grand plan to acquire a number of struggling plunmaceutical companies .

Thinking about the Srento Group entering the medical field didnt fill me with joy in made me uneasy .

After all , sometimes the difference between saving lives and taking them is just a single thought , Angela .

Isaac isnt right for you , I said , my tone serious .

He could take your heart , and youd still think hes a good guy .

Angela raised an eyebrow .

He already took my heart What if he takes your liver , your kidneys , and your lungs too ! Would you still not care ! Angela slapped my hand lightly .

Laurel , he saved you today ! How can you still think hes a bad guy ? I sighed .

Im just saying , always be cautious .

Never trast ut without reason Angela squinted at me , her eyes narrowing in suspicion .

Do you have a grudge against him ? If I did why would he have saved me ? I smiled faintly , unbothered .

Businessmen dont make moves without a reason .

The most successful ones : arent exactly saints .

And Im sure hes got his own motives for saving me .

Angela was momentarily at a loss for words , then finally slapped my shoulder with a dramatic sigh Motive Lau Laurel , how can you say that about my idol ! Hes just a good guy who wanted to help , and youre turning him into some kind of villain .

Seeing Angela so defensive , I shrugged .

How about we make a bett Lets see if he comes looking for me Looking for you ! Why would he come find you ? To repay Inc , of course .

After all , he saved me .

Angela Laughed scornfully .

Youre overthinking it .

He just helped you out of kindness , no need for any grand gesture .

Business doesnt work that way .

Theres no such thing as a selfless businessman , I sighed again , remembering how , year ago , I thought my encounter with Isaac was just a casual , fateful meeting .

But in reality .

I was nothing but East in the net lie cast .

Ed only discovered the truth by stumbling across clues in his social media photos .

That lecture he gave at my university ? It was all part of his plan .

And he even put a picture of me in his album .

Anyone who didnt know us would think we were close .

The next time we met , haar had already recognized me .

After all , his appearance at that lecture had been all about Austin .

But what puzzled me was this : if lac and Alex knew each other , then surely Isaac should know Austin too .

If he wanted to find him , why did he have to get involved with me ! 1/2 1233 PM 0 Chapter 68 For a moment , I even wonderei already knew who I really was hot when he pulled me out of the water and looked his expressions made it clear he had no idea No man would be sick enough to try seducing his sister , right Of course , my suspicion wasnt without evidence .

When I fell into the water , the rescue team shouldve been the first to respond .

But they didnt .

Someone had stopped them .

There were plenty of people around , but most of them were just waiting to watch a show .

A small group wanted to help but were too afraid to step in .

No one wanted to make an enemy of Samantha because of someone as insignificant .

But the rescue workers were different .

If anything went wrong , theyil face penalties and possibly even liability .

So someone mustve been sure that Td be rescued soon before they gave up on me , What I didnt expect was that the person who saved me would be baac , I couldnt help but wonder what did I have that was so worth baar going through all this trouble to get close to me ! ⠀⠀⠀ Alright , its a bet .
