Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
It was another unfamiliar number.
Her delicate brows furrowed instinctively, and without thinking, she hung up immediately.
But the moment she hung up, a text message popped up.
“Sandria, answer the phone and come apologize to Courty. You wouldn’t want others to see what you look like, would you?”
That arrogant, domineering tone was all too familiar–it was Florentino.
Attached below the message was a photo.
A photo that made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice–cold abyss.
In the photo, it was her from a few years ago.
On their anniversary, she had specially worn his favorite black lace nightgown–sexy and alluring.
She was straddling Florentino, her arms around his neck, smiling brightly and wantonly, her eyes filled with undis- guised love and obsession for him.
It was their most private moment from the past.
It was proof of how deeply she had loved him.
Sandria’s face changed in an instant!
She never dreamed that Florentino would stoop so low!
He was actually using their most intimate moment from the past, the love she had once given him wholeheartedly, as a weapon to threaten her!
To trample on her dignity and force her to apologize to that mistress?
A buzzing sound filled her mind, leaving it completely blank.
A wave of overwhelming humiliation and anger wrapped around her like an impenetrable net, making it almost im- possible to breathe.
Her hand holding the phone trembled so much she could barely keep her grip, every cell in her body shaking with ex-
treme rage.
Just then, Fulbert came out of the kitchen and placed a plate of sliced fruit in front of her.

“This is…”
But before he could finish, he saw her face–pale as a sheet, as if she might shatter at any moment.
His expression darkened instantly!
The air around them seemed to freeze in an instant!
He strode over in a few quick steps and, without a word, snatched the phone from her hand.
When his deep, unfathomable eyes saw the glaring photo and the malicious message on the screen, the pressure around him dropped to freezing point!
A terrifying, world–destroying storm was brewing madly in his eyes.
The temperature in the entire room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.
“I’ll handle this.”
“No need.”
Sandria took a sharp breath, forcing back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.
She stubbornly lifted her head, her pale little face displaying a shocking calm.
She reached out and resolutely took her phone back from his hand.
She could cry, but never for scum like him.
Her pride as Sandria would not allow it!
Looking into Fulbert’s eyes, which were filled with raging fury and deep concern, she suddenly smiled.
But that smile didn’t reach her eyes; instead, it carried a kind of desperate, all–or–nothing madness.
“Fulbert, this is my war. That man–I once loved him.”
“So, this ill–fated relationship that I started must also be ended by my own hand.”
“He wants to see me ruined, does he?”
“Then I’ll show him what true damnation looks like!”
She could be vulnerable, but she would never let herself be trampled.
Without the slightest hesitation, she dialed the police.
She submitted the threatening message and the unfamiliar number to the authorities.
Meanwhile, Florentino was sitting smugly in his office, waiting for Sandria’s call to beg for mercy.
He was certain that this woman would never dare make a scene.

When his phone rang, he answered it leisurely, his tone arrogant.
“Changed your mind?”
But instead, a cold and unfamiliar voice came from the other end.

“Hello, this is the Eaveton Police Station. You are suspected of involvement in a case of intimidation and extortion. Please come to the station immediately to cooperate with our investigation.”
On this side, the terrifying pressure radiating from Fulbert finally eased a little the moment Sandria dialed the emer- gency number.
