"Tell me, what exactly are you hiding from me?"
What John said is filled with malicious malice. His aggressive tone frightens the director to the point of trembling. She does not expect this man to have such a powerful aura.
So she covers her mouth and cries, "Actually, I did it all for Rory."
John's cold eyes instantly softens when he hears Rory's name, but his expression is still a little gloomy.
"What do you mean?" John says again, his tone much calmer than before.
Seeing his reaction, the director's eyes turn red as she says, "Because that woman seems to have been pestering you all the time. She has used various methods. I am afraid that you will be seduced away by that woman. If so, what should Rory do without you?"
What the director said is true, so she reveals her true feelings in front of John. Seeing her be so sad, he stops questioning her. However, he had no choice but to ponder deeply. If things are really that simple, then she does not need to make such a big move. But he feels that the director is going to hide something.
What secret has she kept, and should he save that woman?
Seeing that her method works, the director adds, "I have no other choice. Actually, I just want you to be more determined. I don't want you to see that woman because I don't want my daughter to miss out on happiness."
The director says this from the bottom of her heart.
"That woman has warned me time and time again. She even ran into my office and caused a big fuss. I was quick-witted enough to escape in time." What the director has said is half-truths, because this is the only way to confuse John.
Hearing this, John probably won't know what he wants to do anymore.
John frowns bitterly again. Why does the director do everything possible to stop him from saving that woman?
Seeing his furrowed brows, the director behaves like a great philanthropist. "Actually, I realize that I am wrong. I shouldn't have done such an impulsive thing for my own selfish desires. Fortunately, no one is injured in the fire. Otherwise, I would be extremely ashamed. And now, I understand. Go save that woman."
Is it because of her conscience that this woman is encouraging him to save that person?
John looks at her in astonishment. It is said that woman is fickle. As expected, he can't even figure out what this woman in front of him wants to do anymore. But he doesn't want to think about it.
