Someone knocked on the window. Jenson raised his head and saw a man outside his car.
Tyler had been waiting downstairs for Jenson since early morning. After she disappeared suddenly last night, he had felt relieved but worried at the same time. Hence, he arrived early morning to wait in front of Kristin's door.
Last night, Tyler did not go home. He had knocked on the door for a long time and tried to call her, but she ignored all of his calls.
This morning, when a car pulled over outside Kristin's building, he began to observe it. The car had stopped for a long time. He had no idea what the people inside the car were talking about. Just as Tyler was about to give up, Kristin opened the door and scurried away from the car.
The car was expensive, so it had to belong to a wealthy man. Tyler strode over to the car furiously and knocked on the door.
But the man in the car ignored him. Tyler knocked for a long time, but he received no response.
"Open the door! Who are you? How are you related to Kristin?"
Jenson stared coldly at Tyler outside his car. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Tyler gritted his teeth as he watched the car speed away.
Damn it! I'd dated Kristin for a long time, but she had always refused to spend a night with me! But this man who appeared out of nowhere got her to spend the night with him!
Meanwhile, Kristin remained on the floor for some time before collecting herself and standing on her feet.
It was true that Jenson was a successful man and that other people would be terrified of him, too. But now that she thought of it, marrying him wasn't the only way out. Perhaps she had been pushed over the edge by the Cooper family last night, as their plan could have ruined her future for real.
She checked her appearance in the mirror. The blushing woman that stared back at her was unfamiliar to her.
Kristin slashed water on her face to wake herself up before going to her living room.
A knock on the door surprised her. After a brief hesitation, she went to the door and looked through the peephole. When she saw Tyler outside, her brows furrowed.
She inhaled deeply and opened the door at once. Kristin didn't know what to say or do at the moment. She hadn't organized her thoughts and emotions, so she didn't know how to react to his presence right now. A part of her wanted to tear him apart, but another part reminded her this was the man she had loved for two years.

"Kristin, I'm worried about you. Where did you go last night? Why didn't you come home? I called you so many times, but you didn't even pick up?" Jenson said with a sincere expression. He paused as he looked at Kristin's eyes for any reaction to his words.
"Worried?" Kristin sneered, "What have I done to you that you have to betray me like this?."
"You've misunderstood everything. Janice seduced me and I just wavered for a moment....."
"Enough, Tyler" Kristin cut him off ruthlessly.
"Tell me, do you have someone else now? Just now, I saw you getting out of a luxury car downstairs. Were you with that man last night? Where did you go last night? What did you do? Kristin, you—"
"I said enough!" Kristin couldn't believe what Tyler had just said. The man had gone overboard. "Who was I with doesn't concern you." How dare he question me?
Tyler's anger flared up upon hearing her answer. "Doesn't concern me? I'm your boyfriend!"
"You're just my ex!" Kristin jeered, "Don't forget that you're Janice's fiancé now." Kristin thought he was being absurd. "Tyler, you're being ridiculous. Janice seduced you and you made her pregnant. If I hadn't caught you, then you wouldn't have planned to tell me. Right?"
"Kristin, you… Listen to me. Don't just find any man out there because you hate me. Do you know who is he? Do you know—"
"What I know is that he treats me better than you all."
"Better? Do you know him well? Kristin, I know you found a random man to make me angry. But doing this—"
"Enough, Tyler. If you won't leave, I'll call the police."
