Unfortunately, her tears had no effect at this moment.

Grace Yowell widened her eyes in horror, only to see the other person grab her hand; in the next moment, intense pain spread from her fingers.
Fingers were being broken one by one, bones snapping, the pain going straight to her heart. But immediately after, someone splashed cold water on her, waking her up.
In the end, her ten fingers hung in an unnatural state, but things didn’t end there.
The man who broke her fingers once again coldly unwound the bandages wrapped around her arm.
Grace Yowell struggled in fear, "What are you going to do?"
The man gave a sinister smile, "Don’t you love getting burned? Then why not let you burn all you want."
Grace Yowell screamed, the fear now beyond anything she had ever felt. At that time, she only meant to frame Mabel Quinn, but now... No, she definitely didn’t want to be burned... She still needed to make a comeback; she had worked so hard to get all this, how could she lose it just like that...
But no matter how much she struggled, she could only watch as the steaming water got closer and closer...
In the evening, the TV in the bedroom was on, playing the daily news. Mabel Quinn sat cross-legged with her laptop on her lap, typing her resignation letter.
Today she also chatted online with Lilith, talking about resigning, and Lilith tried to persuade her to stay, but Mabel Quinn was determined to leave.
Thinking back on the short time at Morningstar, quite a lot happened.
Suddenly, a voice from the TV news anchor came on: "Current president of the Han Group, Daniel Harris, was rushed to the hospital last night. The exact reasons are still unknown, but the Han Group’s stock price has seen a slight drop due to this..."
Mabel Quinn suddenly looked up at the TV screen, where some images of the hospital where Daniel Harris was admitted, as well as footage of his emergency room visit last night, flashed by.
Though Daniel Harris’s face wasn’t clearly captured in the footage, Mabel Quinn could still recognize that the person lying on the stretcher was Daniel Harris.
The narrator’s voice continued analyzing the impact of Daniel Harris’s hospitalization on the Han Group’s stock price. Mabel Quinn couldn’t help but wonder why Daniel Harris was hospitalized. It seemed... too coincidental, he had just come to her, and then... was hospitalized?!
"What, are you concerned about Daniel Harris being hospitalized?" Kyle Kinston’s voice startled her.
Only then did Mabel Quinn realize that Kyle Kinston had somehow already come out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe, with his hair still slightly damp.
"No," she shook her head, put her laptop aside, and was about to get off the bed, "I’ll get the hairdryer to dry your hair."
But before she could fully stand up, he grabbed her arm, and she stumbled, falling onto the bed.
Before she could get up again, Kyle Kinston’s body was already pressed against hers.
"Kyle, get up first." Mabel Quinn raised her hand to push his chest in a signaling manner.
Instead, he pulled her hand to the side, and lowered his head, fixedly staring at her, "Is that the truth?"
