Chapter: 642
In an instant, Mike’s countenance darkened. He sneered, “You fool! I am but a common robber. Your
insignificant life holds no significance to me.”
Ariana locked her gaze onto him. “The individual who sent you should have never permitted you to end
my life, correct?”
As expected, Mike hesitated for a moment. Nevertheless, he replied with fierce determination, “Now
that we are here, your life holds little value.”
How could Ariana’s simple ruse scare Mike, who had been in the business for many years? On the
contrary, he found himself strangely intrigued by this woman, wondering if she possessed a similar fire
in the bedroom.
“If that were true, why didn’t you set me ablaze when I was inside earlier? Instead, you wasted time
attempting to prolong the ordeal,” Ariana retorted, her eyes shifting towards the positioned surveillance
camera. “They want you to torment me, not to capture my lifeless body in the DV, correct?”

pierce through her palm, intensifying the scent of blood.
Ariana skillfully observed the flicker of doubt in Mike’s eyes. She turned her attention to Sarah, her face
bruised and her hands bound, which stirred a mixture of guilt and anger within Ariana. Locking eyes
with Mike once again, she voiced her demand, “Release her. She has no involvement in this, and you
know full well that she is a prominent star. If something truly transpires, her fans and company will not
remain silent. Do you wish to escalate this into a major controversy?
Understand that you are not the sole one who will face the repercussions should public opinion spiral
out of control.”
Her words resonated with Mike, as the consequences of a substantial backlash would prove
detrimental to their ability to conceal their actions. Thus, Mike wavered for a few fleeting seconds,
before finally signaling Jack with a discreet wink. Jack quickly understood the situation and immediately
loosened Sarah’s tightly bound hands.
With her hands finally freed, Sarah instinctively took a step back, her eyes filled with worry as she
glanced at Ariana.
She was about to voice her concerns when Ariana gave her a comforting look, subtly shaking her head.
“Get out of here. Don’t wait for us to change our mind.” Feeling impatient, Jack pushed Sarah forward,
urging her to leave.
Sarah clenched her teeth, stealing one last glance at Ariana before reluctantly turning around and
walking away.
“Is that okay now?” Mike squinted at Ariana, tugging at his waistband with a sly smile playing on his
lips.
Ariana’s hand trembled involuntarily as she slowly released the bloodstained glass fragment she had
been clutching.
Finally, she had made a compromise, and it was evident from the increasingly sinister grin on Mike’s
face. He approached her with an obscene smile, casually removing his trousers. “If you had been
obedient earlier, your friend wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.”

Mike sneered, his eyes trailing up and down Ariana’s body. He licked his lips, relishing the moment. “I
can finally have some fun after holding myself back for so long.”
Ariana held her breath, her eyes fixed on his advancing figure. Suddenly, she grabbed the hidden stick
from behind the door and swung it with all her might, striking him hard on the head.
Almost simultaneously, Sarah tumed around and seized the DV camera, swinging it forcefully at the
back of Jack’s skull, creating a resounding impact.
Both Mike and Jack were struck by a powerful blow. Jack lost his balance and stumbled to the floor
after a few shaky steps.
Mike, however, remained standing, momentarily shocked by Ariana’s attack.
Touching his head where he’d been hit, Mike rushed towards Ariana in anger, swinging his fist at her.
“You! How dare you hit me!”
