In the corridor, Waylen grabbed Rena's hand and said, "We need to talk."

After Waylen said that, Rena's phone rang, and she answered.

It was a call from one of her bodyguards that she sent to watch Mavis. The bodyguard reported hesitantly, "Sorry to bother you this late, ma'am, but the woman we were watching just jumped out of a third-story window. She shattered her legs.”

Jumped out a window.

Rena replied calmly, “Take her to the hospital. And keep your eyes on her.”

Waylen knocked the phone out of Rena's hand and threw a fit of pique.

"She has already been expelled from school. What more do you want?

Rena... Have you always been this cold-blooded? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust your own decisions?

Is this how our marriage is going to be now?"

He confronted her with so many questions.

Rena was in a trance. Then, a smile tugged on the corners of her mouth.

“Yes. | suppose | have always been cold-blooded when circumstances necessitate it.

| can't allow that woman to stay in Duefron.

| don't care where she ends up as long as she's nowhere near my family.”

Waylen looked at Rena with eyes burning with fury.

He walked to the end of the corridor, dialed a number, and ordered his assistant a series of things.

His assistant was a little startled but still went to do what he was told.

Rena stood under the light in the corridor. She overheard Waylen's phone conversation with his assistant. He was going to help Mavis get back to school and pay for her medical expenses. ©

He would keep Mavis in Duefron.

At this moment, Rena felt extreme exhaustion, both physically and emotionally.

She felt that she and Waylen weren't on the same page at all. Waylen didn't know and would never know the kind of pain and fear through which he was putting her.

The crystal light in the corridor was bright.
