Chapter 40 What Is the Intention

Why? Was it because there was a rift between them? Did Allen want to change their relationship?

But this wasn't the way to do it; where was her dignity in all this…

Blanche's mind was in chaos. Just as she was still reeling from the situation, she suddenly stepped on a piece of glass, which cracked underfoot, drawing everyone's attention.

Blanche was startled and instinctively tried to escape, but Bennett rushed over and grabbed her, saying, "Oh, you almost slipped away right under my nose."

Blanche struggled with all her might, "Let go of me! Let go!"

Bennett had no intention of listening to her, and the others regarded her as if she were a stranger.

"You all can leave; I can handle this woman," Bennett said.

The others had no desire to intervene, as long as their goal was achieved. Seeing Bennett's fierce demeanor, Blanche felt a sense of dread.
