Chapter 22 Thank You for Letting Me Off
If she had known that Stan was Erin’s uncle, she wouldn’t have set up this trap today!
After Ryan escorted Erin to her room and couldn’t free himself from her grasp, he called a ser vant to watch over her and he went downstairs looking for Elsa, but she was nowhere to be found.
“Miss Elsa just went upstairs to deliver clothes to Mr. Stan,” a ser vant informed Ryan.
Thinking about Elsa’s previous relationship with Stan, it wast clear that going upstairs was not as simple as delivering clothes. Ryan’s eyebrows furrowed with anger. He returned to the second floor and searched each room one by one.
As he reached the end of the corridor, he heard a woman’s voice coming from one of the rooms.
Ryan’s body stiffened, and after regaining his senses, he tried to twist the doorknob, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t open. He pounded on the door forcefully.
“Stan, you’ve gone too far!”
A year ago, he had betrayed Elsa, but now that he had achieved success and returned, he wanted to make up for his previous regrets and reconcile with Elsa.
Now, separated by a door, he could hear the voice of the

woman he loved coming from the room, igniting a raging fire within him.
So, what if it was the Laurier family?
Hill City was not under the control of the Laurier family, and the power of the boss behind him was no less than that of Stan!
Thinking about all this, Ryan’s eyes turned cold, and he kicked the door with all his force, trying to break it with his strength.
With one kick followed by another, Ryan exerted all his strength, and the tightly closed door began to sway, showing signs of being kicked open.
“Ryan!” Erin broke free from the ser vant and ran out of the room. She found Ryan and threw herself into his arms, her eyes were red from crying. “Elsa did it on purpose! She deliberately approached my mother, brought you to my birthday party, and set a trap for me to fall into. Don’t let her deceive you…”
“It’s you who deceived me, Erin!” Ryan pulled Erin away and slammed her against the wall, gritting his teeth. “A year ago, you plotted against me once, and now you’ve done it again! I took precautions, so how did you get pregnant?”
“Yes, I plotted against you a year ago, but is it entirely my fault?” Érin wiped away her tears and sneered. “You could have ignored me and just walked away, but you cared about your stardom, so you stayed with me, didn’t you?”
“Ryan, don’t pretend to be so innocent. You’re also a selfish and greedy person! If it weren’t for my father providing your with connections, would you have the fame you have today?”.

Ryan’s cheek was twitched, his face filled with anger. He raised his hand, as if about to slap Erin.
But he was a man, and no matter how Erin plotted against him or cursed at him, he couldn’t hit her, especially on Hardy’s territory.
He raised his hand into a fist and slammed it against the wall next to Erin’s ear. He closed his eyes and spoke wearily, “You’re right, it’s my fault, and I deserve it!”
“I plotted against you, and that was my mistake, but Ryan, I love you.” Erin held him tightly. “I’ve never been with any other man, only you! But what about Elsa? You and she have. been broken up for so long, and she’s been with countless other men. She doesn’t love you; she’s just playing with you.”
“I didn’t send the photos we received just now. Believe me, I didn’t do it. Otherwise, my whole family would be ruined, I swear!”
Seeing Ryan’s continued silence, Erin grabbed his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, speaking softly, “Ryan, feel it. This is our baby. As long as we apologize to my father, he will definitely let us get married.”
Ryan smiled coldly and forcefully pulled his hand away. “Erin, I’ll give you all the money I’ve earned if you have the child aborted, I won’t marry you, and I won’t make the same mistake again.”
“No, I don’t want to…” Erin shook her head, trying to grab his hand, tears streaming down her face. “Don’t abandon me and the baby, Ryan. Once we’re married, all of Hardy’s family fortunes will be yours. You won’t have to work anymore.”

Ryan had long seen through Erin’s crying and pleading
tactics. Indifferent to her, he forcefully pushed her away and tried to kick the door again.
“Mr. Ryan, Mr. Stan is resting, please do not disturb him.” Morton stood in front of Ryan. “The car is waiting downstairs, Mr. Ryan, please go down by yourself.”
Ryan clenched his fist and said somewhat politely, “I know the contract between Elsa and Stan has ended, and I want to take her away!”
Morton, the assistant, also spoke politely, “The relationship between Mr. Stan and Miss Elsa is not something outsiders can intervene in. Mr. Ryan, you just won the Best Actor award and you are a golden signature of Tornado Entertainment. You are at the peak of your career. But don’t forget that Tornado Entertainment and the Laurier Group have had a lot. of business dealings, it was a piece of cake for Mr. Stan to request someone working under Tornado’s boss and then destroy his fortune.”
He adjusted his glasses and stared at Ryan. “Mr. Ryan, if you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you need to be clear-headed.”
Morton’s words hit the nail on the head, gradually draining the red colour from Ryan’s face and turning his face pale. He unwillingly looked at the tightly closed door but didn’t dare to take another step.
“Mr. Ryan, goodbye.” Morton made a gesture as if asking him. to leave.
Ryan stood there for a while with a thin and frail figure. He loosened his grip slowly and turned around to leave.

Erin wanted to catch up, but Morton grabbed her hand. “Miss Erin, it would be better for you to go and comfort Mrs. Hardy…”
Erin pulled her hand back and chased after Ryan, paying no attention to anything else.
Morton’s mouth twitched, thinking about how Erin, the only daughter of Councillor Hardy, was usually dignified and
arrogant, looking down on everyone. How did she become so submissive in front of a man?
Morton fulfilled his duties and resolved any unnecessary troubles for Stan.
Inside the room, Elsa was suffering greatly. It was the first. time she cursed Stan in her heart, over and over again.
Fortunately, Stan had some pity and didn’t leave her alone in the bathroom. He carried her back to the bed.
Elsa felt weak all over and didn’t want to get up. She glanced at Stan, who was getting dressed, and cursed in her heart. while putting on a lazy smile on her face. “Mr. Stan, were you upset by Dana Duke? Couldn’t find a satisfactory bed partner, so you unleash all your dissatisfaction on me, an old bed partner?”
“Comparing yourself to her, do you think I’m overestimating her or underestimating you?” Stan picked up the tie from the chair and walked over, handing it to Elsa.
F UCK!
After everything he put her through, he still couldn’t let her off!

Recognizing that it was the tie he had just used to bind her wrists, Elsa rolled her eyes and reluctantly got up from the bed.
Her fingers skilfully tied a Windsor knot on Stan’s shirt collar while chatting with him. “So, Mr. Stan, what’s going on in your mind? Even if Dana has upset you, you don’t have to blacklist her. Isn’t that heartless?”
Stan’s eyes deepened, and he looked at her with a hint of a cold smile.
As Elsa’s hand trembled, she pretended to be calm and smoothed his tie, speaking in a soft and tender voice, “Mr. Stan, although we broke up a long time ago, I’m quite satisfied with that little pink sports car. Tonight, as long as you enjoy yourself, I don’t want anything.”
“Only you, Elsa.” Stan’s thumb brushed over her red lips, his. eyes were dark and intimidating. “Only you have the courage to deceive me!”
Elsa immediately wore a seductive smile and kissed Stan’s lips. “Thank you, Mr. Stan, for sparing my life.”
“Mr. Stan,” at that moment, a deliberately hushed voice came from the door. “There’s an urgent call from the hospital.”
Stan’s expression remained unchanged, but his brows. furrowed, and a hint of anxiety flickered in his eyes. After responding briefly to Morton, he grabbed his suit jacket from the chair and left without looking back at Elsa.
The door closed swiftly, leaving Elsa, standing there speechless.

She had known for a while that Stan had a crush who had become a vegetative state after a car accident. His current anxiety was likely related to that person.
Elsa inwardly scoffed, “Does this man have a m ental illness? If he cares so much about his crush, why does he seek other women outside? It’s exhausting to maintain such a double standard.”
Since it wasn’t her home, Elsa rested for a while and then got up, dressed, and drove back in her pink sports car.
It was after 3 a.m. when Morton, the assistant, drove Stan to the hospital.
As soon as Stan stepped into the ward, he saw an elegant lady sitting by the bedside, occasionally wiping tears from the corner of her eyes. Her figure appeared desolate.
“Mrs. Smith,” Stan walked over, his peripheral vision catching sight of the woman on the bed-a gentle and beautiful figure seemingly asleep but actually in a vegetative state.
A year ago, Daisy Smith had been in a car accident and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Despite the doctors’ five hours of rescue efforts, they were unable to save
her. She had remained in a coma ever since.
Throughout the year, Stan had exhausted his connections
and financial resources in search of the person responsible for the accident, but there were no leads to be found.
