Chapter 136 Clark let out a cold laughter. "Well, you and Kris can search all you want, but you won't find anything. I'm not an idiot." Thalassa's eyes narrowed, her voice cutting through the room like ice. "So it's true. That story you toldabout the women you 'fell in love with' supposedly killing themselves-it was all a lie, wasn't it? They never committed suicide. You killed them so you can get their fortune." Clark scoffed, rolling his eyes. “I didn't kill them. They were already sick in the head. All I had to do was push them a little, and they were ready to swallow those pills because they were so 'depressed.' Poor things.” Though her face remained composed, Thalassa felt a wave of nausea twist in her stomach. How had she allowed someone like him to get so close to her? His voice was devoid of emotion, as if driving someone to suicide was something normal to him.

"No, of course not. You're not like them. I really do see myself spending the rest of my life with you because you're different. You're special." "Do?"" Thalassa almost laughed at how he spoke as if the future was still an option for them. “It seems like those women weren't the only ones sick in the head if you think I'll stay with you after everything I know-after what you tried to do to my best friend." Clark's expression darkened, his gaze hardening. "You can be mine willingly or not, but I will have you at all costs, Thalassa." He began to step forward when Thalassa warned. “I said, not another step. Don't forceto shoot you, Clark." Tension thrummed in the air as they stared at each other for several seconds. Finally, a confident smile tugged at Clark's lips. "Careful, Lassa. That's not a toy in your hand. You probably don't even know how to use it." "Oh believe me, I do. Should I show you?" Her finger tightened on the trigger, wiping the smug grin from his face. "You're going to rot in jail, Clark Morgan." "Jail?" He chuckled darkly. "Yes, I did everything you're accusingof, but what are they going to lockup for? Your words? Sweetheart, you don't have any evidence, and you never will because I'm not stupid. Everything I do, I plan with care. Sure, I might have strouble with the court, but I'll find my way out." Thalassa's smile turned cold, her eyes glinting with satisfaction, “You're right. They won't lock you up based on what I say. But they'll definitely lock you up for your own words." Clark tensed. "What do you mean?" Her smile widened. "I mean every part of this conversation has been recorded by this micro-camera. Right here." She pointed at a small button on her jacket. It looked so much like the rest of the buttons that you wouldn't know it was a camera unless you were told.
Clark's eyes followed her finger, his disbelief quickly turning to fury. Just then, the wail of police sirens grew louder in the distance.
"You bitch!" he spat, rage distorting his face. "You've made the cops get here. You're coming with me-now!" He lunged at her, but before he could get close, Thalassa aimed the gun at his thigh and squeezed the trigger. The shot echoed through the room as Clark let out a scream of agony.

"I warned you." Thalassa's voice was steady, her gaze cold. "The police are almost here. Get ready for your life in En. prison, Clark."
Clark gritted his teeth, fury blazing in his eyes. "Never!" He struggled to his feet, blood soaking his trousers and god dripping onto the pristine white tiles.
"This isn't over. You'll fucking regret this."
Limping toward the door, he moved as quickly as he could desperate to reach his car before the police En arrived. But his luck had run out. As soon as he stepped outside, blinding headlights fell on him. A police officer's voice rang out and commanded "Stop right there and put your hands in the air! You're under arrest.
