But she didn't know that her name wasn't even in the box.

"Mark Henderson, Lisa Chen..."

Eight names had already been called. Including me, that made nine.

In their eyes, there was only one spot left.

But they didn't know Mia would be on the helicopter to accompany me. Those two were already doomed.

Olivia and Caleb started to get agitated.

Caleb quietly got up from Olivia's arms. Both their faces were full of calculation.

I reached my hand into the box. At that moment, Olivia and Caleb stood up almost simultaneously.

"Wait!"

They spoke in unison, their faces unable to hide their panic.

The two exchanged a glance. Olivia forced a smile.

"Caleb, the company can't run for a day without me."

"How about this - you stay on the train first, and I'll send someone to pick you up as soon as I get back to the company, okay?"

Caleb's expression froze for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Olivia to abandon him so easily.

He gave me a deep look. With the experience of being left here to become a charred corpse in my previous life, Caleb didn't believe the hypocritical Olivia in front of him.

But afraid of ruining their relationship, he still forced a smile.

"But sister Olivia, don't you remember? When we were little, you set off firecrackers that injured my ears. My skin was also damaged. In this heat, I can't take it."

"Why don't I go first, and I'll send someone to get you when I return."

Olivia's face instantly darkened. She pressed her tongue against her back teeth, her expression already showing impatience.

"I already said I'm going first. Since when did you become so hard of hearing?"

Seeing the situation, Caleb stopped pretending. He rushed in front of me and grabbed my hand.

"Brother Jack, take me with you. Once we get out I promise you'll have endless wealth and status. You won't have to live under Olivia's thumb anymore. I'll help pay off your family's debts, okay?"

Hearing the trembling in Caleb's anxious voice, I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction rise in my heart.

The sound of the helicopter drew closer. The train carriage door was forcibly dismantled from the outside.

Olivia rushed over and shoved Caleb away, then grasped my hand with a loving expression.

"Jack, we've been married for seven years. You can't abandon me here out of spite."

"I was blind before to like Caleb. Don't worry, after we go back, I'll devote myself only to you. I won't be fickle anymore!"

Before I could speak, a woman slowly walked down from the helicopter.

Mia let out a light laugh, but her eyes were full of hatred as she looked at Olivia.

"After? His future won't include you anymore."

That is the end of the free sample.
