“This is my business, it has nothing to do with you,” she snorted coldly, striding quickly toward Jack's place.
When we arrived, Michael was there too.
He got out of the car, looking very upset, and walked angrily into the elevator. When he was up the Chapter 84 stairs, he kicked the door.
Rachel and I hid outside the door, watching Michael causing trouble for Jack.

Someone obviously setup, they even recorded a video,” Jack said, clearly feeling guilty and scared.
“Jack, you chose to hide the fact that you found Stephanie pleading for help in the car at first. I've already given you one chance. Are you sure you wantto resort to violence again before you're willing to speak?” Michael's anger was heavy, as if he could really harm Jack.
Jack trembled in fear. “Mike... After Stephanie died, you went a little insane. Please... don’t do this...
I'm your cousin brother, you can't...” “Ah!” With a scream, Michael pressed Jack’s head and smashed it against the bedside table. In an instant, blood was all over his nose and mouth.
Rachel and | were both startled, hiding behind the door and not daring to enter.
Michael... Why was he acting like a madman? | admit, I'd seen Michael lose control after drinking, but he was never so crazy regarding anything about me.
“Mike... | was wrong, I'll talk...” Jack cried and begged for mercy.
