Perhaps some people were destined for misfortune.
When Cordy was young, she lost her mother, and her father remarried. The stepdaughter he gained from the new marriage was always working against her, and everyone in the house also helped with said stepdaughter’s schemes. When Cordy grew up, she had excellent grades and outstanding capabilities. But the stepdaughter framed her, making Cordy give birth out of wedlock which caused a lot of trouble and led her into gaining a notorious reputation in the city. Due to that, Cordy was dropped out of a prestigious university and kicked out of her home by her father. She was forced to wander the streets of a foreign country and struggled to survive with the skin of her teeth.
Cordy once thought she had met a man who truly loved her, and she gave him everything she had; only for him to cheat on her behind her back with her stepsister.
Later, she thought she had finally found true love and mustered up the courage to give life another chance… Only to find that everything was just a scam once more.
Despite everything that had happened, she still tried her best to live on. It hadn't been an easy journey to be born in this cruel world, so she wanted to live well. She didn't want to disappoint her late mother's wish, who had told her, "Even if I leave, you'll have to carry my love for you and live. Be happy."
Every time she felt overwhelmed by life, Cordy would always remember her late mother's words. She would then grit her teeth and pull through whatever situation she was in.
Cordy's tears slid down her eyes continuously, without stopping.
She would get through this too. It was just another experience, the same tragedy back when she had been eighteen.
This was just...another time that fate would trample on her.
Perhaps it had happened so many times, so she was numb to it.
Bang!
The door suddenly burst open.
Kyle, who had been eagerly exploring Cordy's body, was startled. Before he could react, someone pulled him off Cordy and shoved him to the ground before kicking him hard. The blow was so harsh that Kyle almost couldn't breathe from the pain, but countless blows landed on him before he could do anything else. He couldn't even beg for mercy with how ruthless the blows rained down on him. He was going to die!
He could feel his blood seeping out of the wounds and drenching him in the red liquid, and his vision blurred after a few moments.
He couldn't even tell if it was tears or blood, but he felt like an inch away from death.
"Mr. Levine," Randy called out, pulling John back a little. "Stop beating him. He'll die at this rate."
John's face was filled with rage, and it looked as if he wouldn't calm down until someone was dead by his hands.
"He's not worth staining your hands with blood," Randy said insistently as he tried to move his frenzied boss with all his might. He understood the man's anger. He really did.
John had mobilized all the forces he had in his hand to find Cordy. After discovering that the last call to Cordy's phone had been from the police, he immediately retrieved the surveillance videos in that area. He found that Cordy had passed out shortly after exiting the station and that Kyle had whisked her away right after. Following the surveillance videos on Kyle's journey, they finally found this villa in the suburbs.
Without hesitation, John sped to the villa as fast as possible. As Randy sat in the vehicle's passenger seat, he was already drafting his will in his mind.
After going through the thrilling danger of the roads and arriving at the villa, John brutally kicked down the door and rushed into the bedroom, only to find Kyle on top of Cordy...
Randy had never seen his boss in such a terrible state. His eyes had an indescribable fury that was impossible to suppress at that moment.
Randy truly, genuinely felt that someone would really die.
Sure enough, John went crazy and started beating Kyle until the latter couldn't move and lay in the puddle of his own blood on the ground.
