“Payment?” Ingrid’s eyes shifted stiffly. “Wasn’t it always deducted directly from the account?” 

“Sorry, the account has been frozen.” 

“Frozen? Why?” 

“It was frozen upon the account holder’s request.” 

Frozen on purpose… 

“Hahaha… Hansel, you are truly ruthless!” 

After spending over a month in the hospital, Ingrid was finally discharged that day. As she stepped outside and looked up at the bright sky and the white clouds, everything felt strangely unfamiliar. 

It was as if she had stepped into a different world.

Hansel finished work early that day. Once inside the car, he instructed Dan, “Take me to the mansion.” 

“Yes, Mr. Johnson,” Dan responded. 

Hansel closed his eyes to rest as the car cruised smoothly along the road. When the sound of rushing wind from outside caught his attention, he opened his eyes. 

The sky had grown dark and heavy, filled with the tension of an approaching storm. He thought of the rainy season, remembering the humid and oppressive air, and frowned in disgust 

The car smoothly entered the mansion area. Suddenly, Dan slammed on the brakes. 

Hansel lurched forward due to the sudden stop. Had it not been for his seatbelt, he might have crashed into the front seat.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson!” Dan quickly apologized. “A woman–jumped in front of the car. I had to brake!”

Even Dan couldn’t help but feel a stir of emotion. 

However, Hansel remained indifferent, his gaze cold as he looked away. “When did the security around here get so lax? Anyone can just walk in now? Call security and have her removed.” 

Dan snapped out of it, quickly reaching for his phone.

Yet now… 

Through the windshield, she looked desperately at the man in the backseat, catching only a glimpse of his detached profile. He didn’t even bother to look directly at her. 

Ingrid ran to the side of the car, frantically banging on the window. “Hans, it’s me… I’m back… Please, don’t ignore me, okay? I’ve lost everything now; I only have you left. 

“I know I was wrong. I swear, from now on, I’ll listen to you, I won’t argue or fight. I’ll be quiet and obedient
