You’re right, I’ve always been biased towards him, because I love him. I’m a person who is brave enough to love fiercely and hate bitterly. If I choose to love, I won’t hide it." Lucas Warren clapped for her, "Honestly, I really admire your courage. But Faye Townsend, what’s the point of scoring a momentary verbal victory? Hunter Warren seized every opportunity back then, yet with just one word from me, I can ensure he never rises again. You know, he’s someone who cares deeply about his reputation. It just shows that seizing all the opportunities isn’t always helpful." "Maybe you think it’s useless, but I say it’s valuable. Lucas, do you know why you are not up to par? Humans can be controlled by their own emotions, but you’re different. You’re too cold-blooded. It’s precisely because you’re cold-blooded that you can’t win the love of the world. The world is always fair. Since you’re so strong and capable, why should God go out of his way to arrange everything for you? Don’t think that you have been abandoned by the world. It’s you who have gotten the order reversed. It’s you who abandoned the world first." Faye Townsend ignored him, full of negative energy beside her. His life seemed to be always filled with complaints. As if the world not revolving around him constitutes some great unfairness to him. But many things in this world do not follow any clear logic. "Even if I were to be abandoned by the world, so what? I don’t care, Faye Townsend. My patience with you won’t last forever. Would you like to bet that sooner or later, you will come to me on your own accord asking for my help?" Faye Townsend turned her head and scoffed coldly: "Don’t you know? Even seeing you is very unpleasant to me. Ask for your help? Don’t delude yourself; I just wish you would disappear from my sight forever." Lucas Warren smirked with a devilish charm: "That really breaks my heart." As he spoke, he took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the dashboard. "There’s something very interesting inside, take a look when you get back. Oh right, there’s nothing better than watching it alone when it’s late at night. You can just drop me off after the next junction." Faye Townsend glanced at the USB drive placed there, then pulled the car over to the side of the road, and turned to look at the smug Lucas. "Lucas Warren, I believe, you definitely wouldn’t want to see Warren Group destroyed, right?" "What does it matter if Warren Group is destroyed? Even if the whole world falls apart, how does it concern me?" Lucas Warren said as he opened the car door to get out: "I just came today to give you this. Now that my objective is complete, there’s no need to bother you further. Also, don’t think I’m being unreasonable. Hunter Warren led my legal wife back to him, so it’s only fair for me to seduce his wife." Faye Townsend was speechless: "Your wife trapped herself into coming back to you. Don’t lay all of this at Hunter’s feet. He has already unfairly shouldered many of the debts you’ve imposed on him, so you should stop at this point." "So you actually know about Sebastian Sheldon’s scheme, not bad. You seem to be getting smarter. That woman is not as simple as you think. As a man who admires you, I’m reminding you, you should be careful around her." Having said that, Lucas Warren closed the car door and left. Faye Townsend started the car and left. She didn’t go home but drove further before stopping the car beside the road again. She didn’t want to look at the contents of the USB, but she really couldn’t help it. Could this be the bargaining chip of Lucas Warren? After hesitating for a moment, she finally took her work laptop from the back seat, opened it, and plugged in the USB to click on the content inside. As Faye Townsend watched, her brows furrowed deeply, and she kept biting tightly on the knuckle of her right index finger. What is this... Did she see it wrong? The video showed Hunter Warren in Gamble City, gambling wildly embraced by women on either side. He looked disheveled, somewhat scruffy. The two beauties beside him were voluptuously dressed, wearing skimpy outfits and clinging tightly to him. Faye Townsend’s back of the hand slid to her lips as she desperately covered her mouth. She looked closely, enlarging her eyes; no, she hadn’t seen wrong, indeed the person in the video was Hunter Warren, even his silhouette was instantly recognizable to her. When exactly was this filmed? How could Hunter Warren be caught in such a decadent scene? If this image of him was made public, the consequences would truly be... unimaginable. Most importantly, why would Hunter Warren have this kind of dark history? Could it be during these six years... She bit her lip, tears swirling back and forth in her eyes. During these six years, she knew what she had endured, but had no idea what kind of life he had been living. And during her years abroad, she really never once asked about his situation. Back then, she neither dared to ask nor wished to, because her heart was too deeply wounded. Roman Hughes said that Hunter Warren has not been doing well these past two years. Could it be that this state is what was meant by ’not doing well’? A hint of pain sprang in Faye Townsend’s heart. Lucas Warren showed her this video because he thought she was still the proud and stubborn girl she used to be. He thought she would be disappointed when she saw the images of Hunter Warren surrounded by women on each arm. But he was really wrong; she was no longer the proud Princess she used to be. Shedding her superficiality, she had also become more mature. Having experienced so much, it was time to grow up; she wouldn’t jump to conclusions from just a video clip... She took out her phone and dialed Roman Hughes’s number, lucky that Roman was not on duty tonight. "Roman, join me for a drink," Faye Townsend offered, seeing that Roman was rarely at home and not out. "Yo, I’m truly flattered. It just so happens I’m free at home. Shall we go to the bar where we drank together last time?" Without hesitation, Faye nodded, "Perfect, I really want to try the Pink Lady again." After agreeing, Faye immediately turned and headed to the bar. She had a deep impression of that place, but it was a bit far from her current location. When she arrived, Roman had already beaten her there. However, it took her quite a while to spot Roman at the bar counter, surrounded by a group of young girls. Seeing this situation, she thought Roman might get taken apart by these girls tonight. She pushed forward through the crowd and tapped him on the shoulder. Turning his head to see her, Roman greeted her with a charming smile: "You’re here." "You seem pretty busy right now." Roman looked at the girls around him: "Alright, alright, kids, the beauty I’m meeting has arrived. You go play for a while, and I’ll join you later." The young beauties reluctantly left, casting their envious and resentful glances at Faye before walking away. Faye shrugged as she sat down beside Roman: "Do I count as being ’gang-beaten’ by those looks just now?" "Of course, you’ve taken up the resource they all wanted, so them giving you the side-eye is expected." Faye rolled her eyes at him: "You’re like this, aren’t your parents worried?" "Don’t you know? I’ve always been the son that my family let loose. My family doesn’t feel any different with or without me." Faye laughed incredulously: "Is this something to be proud of? Look how smug you are." "That’s because you’ve been wearing a strained face since you arrived. I was trying to loosen you up a bit. Look, you just smiled, so I guess I’ve been successful." After finishing his sentence, he snapped his fingers, and the bartender pushed the Pink Lady towards Faye. "I’ve ordered for you. Now tell me, what’s the matter today?" Faye clutched the glass, hesitation evident in her eyes. "Hesitating to speak after calling someone out is quite bothersome, you know?" Faye pursed her lips and looked at him: "In the six years I’ve been in Switzerland, what exactly happened to Hunter?" Roman curved his lips into a smile: "Oh, you’re curious now, huh? I thought you would ignore Hunter’s history for life. Tell me, what prompted you to want to learn about that period of time?" "Today, Lucas Warren came to me. He gave me a video, and in that video... Hunter was gambling heavily, surrounded by women on each side; he looked... very decadent." Swirling the drink in his glass, Roman nodded: "Lucas Warren is despicable indeed, resorting to such methods to stab Hunter in the back." Faye didn’t say a word, just looked at him. "Faye, I told you before, these six years, Hunter has not had it any better than you. Actually, he knew his feelings for you when you left, no, maybe even before you left. He realized how much he cared about you. But you know Hunter’s personality, he’s stubborn. I’ve always said, you two are like a pair of stubborn mules together. He is proud, and wanted to use the divorce as a way to make you plead with him for mercy, for help, but instead, it drove you away from his side. After you left, he was in a lot of pain, he wanted to find you, but Uncle Forrest stopped him. Uncle Forrest’s words made him give up the obsession of finding you." "Uncle Forrest?" Faye interrupted, surprised: "Are you sure? Why would Uncle Forrest..." "You also find it unbelievable, right? Hunter claimed Uncle Forrest had his reasons for doing so. Back then, it was for your own good; given the state of your relationship, even if he did find you, it would only hurt both of you even more. After all, you hurt each other deeply back then. And after that, Hunter became completely decadent, like a different person. Faye, I’ve never seen Hunter in such a state. From what I know, he once lost seventy million in one night at the casino. He lived like he belonged in the casino, lost in a cloud of dreams every day. There was a time when it was widely rumored in Anchester that Hunter was soon to be squeezed out of the throne by Oliver Turner. Back then, no one could persuade him. The only ones who could still talk to him were me and Owen Lennon. But during that time, he nearly always avoided the two of us, completely unwilling to meet. We were very worried about him, so we had to take turns keeping an eye on him. That day, it was Owen’s birthday, and I forced Hunter to join us for a meal.
