Chapter 383
Desperation set in as Yolanda frantically attempted to start the vehicle but to no avail. If we get caught again this time, we’re finished” she thought, In her frustration, she turned on Arvin with disdain, “What kind of worthless car did you prepare?”
Arvin, already flustered, defended his choice. Although I got it from a second–hand market, it tested and performed well. His hands were crippled, leaving him unable to get a good job. With limited inconse, this was the best vehicle he could get.
This admission only fueled Yolanda’s contempt. “What? You got me a second–hand car?” she exclaimed, her face twisting with revulsion as she untered scornfully, “What a loser” Arvin, heartbroken at the sight of her bloodied, furious face, could hardly believe the harsh words falling from her lips. You’re even worse than a loser. How could you mess up something so important? You’re just a nobody, and you think you’re a match for me! Take a look in the mirror, loser! You really overestimate yourself, she spat binerly. Yolanda knew their situation was desperate without a functioning car. The collapse of her hopes drove her to unleash a tirade of insults at Arvin,
Meanwhile, Jonathan observed the unfolding drama from outside, a smirk playing across his lips. He was acutely aware of Yolanda’s self–centered nature and the improbability of her genuine affection for a cripple like Arvin. It was important for Arvin to see the harsh reality of his situation and the regrettable choices he had made. It was only after Yolanda had fully vented her fury that Jonathan’s hand moved quickly and decisively. shattering the car window.
“Ah!” she shricked, terror halting her insults abruptly as she met Jonathan’s icy stare. An unfamiliar, deep–seated fear bubbled up within her. consuming all other thoughts. Yolanda, still relatively young, was overcome with the instinctual desire to avoid harm or death. Joanthan, I’m sorry. I was manipulated by Arvin! This has nothing to do with me. If you want to punish someone, punish him, but please, let me gor Her voice trembled as she pushed all the blame onto Arvin, desperate to extricate herself from the car and beg for Jonathan’s forgiveness. However, as she began to open the door, Jonathan quickly stepped forward and slammed it shut, inadvertently catching Yolanda’s fingers in the process, causing her intense pain and nearly causing her to faint. Yolanda’s trembling voice took everything away from Arvin and wanted to get out of the car to ask for forgiveness. However, as soon as she opened the door, Jonathan stepped on it and closed it. In the process, Yolanda’s finger was pinched on the door, and she almost fainted from the pain.
“Am I supposed to be a naive toddler? You think you can still lie to me at this point? Did Arvin force you to act crazy?” Jonathan mocked her with a disdainful chuckle
“Yes, he forced me to!” Yolanda agreed hastily, terror–stricken, aware that the menacing stick could be used against her at any moment. The stick pointed ominously at her head, and she felt as if she was staring death in the face…
Jonathan closed his eyes briefly in impatience, then snorted dismissively at Arvin, “Well do you regret your choices, dedicating yourself to such a

Arvin’s expression darkened, his hands clenched into fists as he internally questioned, Do I regret them? 1 guess I do. He reflected on his ond bright future, surrounded by close friends and a promising path. His life, once filled with light, now seemed overshadowed by darkness. Yet, he knew if given another chance, he would make the same choices all over again. No matter what Yolanda was like now, the image of her when she was young would forever be etched in his heart.
Arvin’s connection to Jonathan Liam and the rest of their affluent circle stemmed not from wealth but from his scholastic achievements. From an early age, he excelled academically, which opened the doors to prestigious schools where he rubbed shoulders with Liam and other well–to–do students. His father, a respected doctor with a considerable reputation in the medical community, also contributed to Arvin’s social connections.
Tragedy struck when his father performed surgery on Yolanda’s mother, which unexpectedly led to her death. This incident ignited the fury of the Wilde family, resulting in his father’s imprisonment. The repercussions were severe for the Parker family, pushing them to the brink of social and financial ruin, nearly forcing Arvin to abandon his education. At that time, Yolanda, still a child, unaware of the complexities of their families relationship, had shown him kindness, wiping his tears away with her small hands. From that moment, Arvin had resolved to protect her for the rest of his life, believing that if not for the tragic accident, she might have had a different disposition under better guidance.
With these thoughts, Arvin relaxed slightly, ready to sacrifice his own well–being for a chance at securing Yolanda’s safety. He looked up at Jonathan, his voice filled with desperation “Jonathan, I made her do those things. If you must vent your anger at someone, let it be me. Please, let her go. She’s innocent.
Jonathan was stunned by Arvin’s declaration. How can he still be so devoted to protecting Yolanda after everything that has happened?” he pondered. Jonathan struggled to understand how he ever became associated with someone so selflessly misguided. Despite his preparedness for many outcomes. Jonathan couldn’t help but exhale a deep sigh of frustration. “You’re utterly hopeless, but neither of you will escape today unscathed.”
Jonathan, I’m begging you. Just went

Jonathan scoffed at him coldly, “You have the audacity to speak of friendship! You’re shameless” He then turned away from Arvin lighter from his pocket with a sinister grin, he stepped back as he questioned, “Do you know why the car won’t start?”
The two inside the car stared back at him, bewildered. ‘What does the lighter have to do with the car not starting they wonderes

As they puzzled over his cryptic question, Jonathan continued, “Haven’t you noticed the smell of gasoline? The car won’t start because Cynthia

Upon hearing this, Yolanda Frantically looked around and spotted three figures in the distance. Noticing her gaze, Cynthia gave a casul wave. Earlier, Yolanda had been so busy dealing with Jonathan that she was oblivious to the looming danger. Realizing that Jonathan had planned not merely to capture but to eliminate them completely, panic seized Yolanda. “Jonathan, I was wrong. Please, let me go she pleaded desperately. kneeling on the seat, bowing continuously in a fervent plea for mercy.
