Jiang Yao practically shot up from her bed. She gripped her phone tightly, her countless calls having been in vain. She could easily imagine the scene of her sister confronting Chen Yuan right now.
She didn't even have time to blame her sister. She frantically grabbed her things, got out of bed, and quickly put on her shoes.
Grabbing her jacket from the coat rack in her bedroom, Jiang Yao was still trying to stop Jiang Ning from blowing up at him over the phone.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Jiang Ning! We had an agreement, and now you're pulling this stunt on me?"
"I knew I couldn't trust you! What am I supposed to do if you blow up now? How am I supposed to know what you and he agreed on!? Jiang Ning, you brute, you bitch, are you even listening to me?"
"Assholes! You're all fucking assholes!"
Jiang Yao frantically grabbed a nearby stuffed doll and took her anger out on it. There was no response from Jiang Ning on the other end of the line, only a silence—a terrifying silence.
