NovelBookClarice's gaze was sharp and sinister as she fixed her eyes on Jace, who was standing at the front of the car.
She wanted nothing more than to step on the accelerator and run him down, crushing this wretched man to death. But Jace was the Boss's trusted right-hand man, so she could not afford to act recklessly.
Clarice wrapped her white fur coat tightly around herself, slowly stepped out of the car, and slowly approached Jace.
Their gazes locked, creating a tense, turbulent confrontation.

Jace's pale lips opened stiffly. "That woman, where did you take her?" "How dare you question me?" Clarice sneered, her anger flaring up. "If the Boss hadn't had the foresight to havecover for you tonight, Yvonne would've long escaped!" Clarice gritted her teeth and took a step closer. "Is this how you're handling the task our boss put you in charge of? Aren't you the one who takes out anyone who gets in your way, no matter who they are? Yet you couldn't even deal with a little nobody? Or... Did you let her go on purpose? Are you thinking of betraying the Boss?" Jace clenched his fists, the sound of his leather gloves crunching echoing in the night air. His jaw tightened, sharp as a freshly sharpened blade.
The word "betraying" felt like a heavyweight, one he had never even considered.
As soon as Clarice uttered those words, it was as if a raging storm had erupted within his stoic demeanor, shaking him to his core. Clarice stood on tiptoes and reached to grab his collar.
At the last moment, Jace stepped back, causing her to lose her balance and stumble awkwardly. Enraged, she unleashed a furious outburst.
“Jace, I'm warning you. Don't you dare get any funny ideas! Your pathetic life belongs to the Boss! If it wasn't for his generosity, you would have died on the beach long ago, rotting away at the bottom of the ocean. You'd better stay loyal and obedient like the dog you are! "If you dare to step out of line, I'll make sure the Boss knows about it. Trust me, your fate will be far worse than getting tossed to the sharks!" "Ah!" As soon as Clarice finished her tirade, a sudden jolt of pain shot through her nose. She felt disoriented, spinning around before collapsing to the ground.
"Who are you calling a dog?" Jace glared coldly at the woman sprawled helplessly on the ground.
His fists, as unyielding as iron, remained tightly clenched as he sneered, "If I'm a dog, then what does that make you? A donkey who does nothing but make a ruckus?"

Tears streamed down her face, which was the product of countless costly cosmetic procedures-a meticulous effort to transform herself at great expense.
Maintaining her appearance cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly.
The punch not only left her nose crooked but seemed to have given her a minor concussion as well. The pain was unbearable! "You should be grateful you belong to the Boss," Jace said coldly. "Otherwise, those words you just said would've been your last." A chill ran down Clarice's spine. For a moment, she even forgot to cry.

Realizing he could not get any information out of Clarice, Jace turned to leave. But just as he stepped away, he stopped and et glanced back. "What did you say earlier?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesClarice, still holding her bleeding nose, seemed disoriented. "W-What?" "You mentioned earlier that the Boss savedat the beach?" Jace's dark eyes narrowed, a rare flicker of curiosity appearing.
It was a stark contrast to his usual disinterest. For once, he felt an intense desire to learn the truth about his past.
"Why was I at the beach? Why was I in the ocean?" Clarice's heart was racing. She recalled Grant's strict orders to never reveal even a sliver of Jace's past to him.
In her anger, she had inadvertently let a small detail slip out.
But she assured herself that revealing just a tiny piece of information could not possibly do any harm. At least, that was the excuse she told herself to stay calm. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSwr
