Chapter 116
“No… I didn’t do anything!”
Matilda struggled at the edge of the cliff, resisting with all her might. “Yvan, you devil, you’ve ruined me. Do you feel even a hint of remorse?!”
But in an instant, Yvan’s face morphed into Adrian’s, the man smiling as he pushed her into the abyss. Matilda screamed, hearing his icy voice, “You pretentious woman, if you die, you die; you won’t be missed!”

models, and construction plans. From the deepening night to the first light of dawn, the woman finally lifted her head from the desk, scanned her drawings Into the computer, and sent her response back to Micah via email.
