After Hillary stormed out of her home in her tattered state while holding onto a bloody knife, she stopped a cab.
Her body was heating up drastically and the heat was radiating through every pore of her body.
The driver could not help but notice her tattered state. The driver was startled when he took a glance at her through the rear view mirror and noticed the bloody knife.
Hillary frantically hid the knife away.
The driver asked in a shaky voice, "Hey miss, where... where do you want to go?"
Hillary was overwhelmed by her overheating body as she tugged her collar and spoke in a soft tone, "Jinn Group’s office building."
She realized that in her depressing and dire state, the person she would look for was none other than Shayne Jinn whom she only knew for a few days.
Hillary clenched her fists and wanted to gamble by throwing herself out there.
…
By the time Hillary arrived at Jinn Group's main entrance, the frustratingly hot and discomfort she felt had reached its peak as she hastily strode over to the receptionist and said, "I want to meet President Jinn."
The receptionist rolled her eyes at her before coldly exclaiming, "Look, there are plenty of girls like you who would come over everyday just to meet President Jinn. If I were to allow everyone to enter and meet him, wouldn't President Jinn be annoyed to death? If you don't have an appointment, you're not allowed to enter."
Hillary was impatient as the changes in her body told her that if she was to keep waiting any longer, she would have done something more embarrassing to herself right there and then.
Hillary pulled out her knife and immediately held it against the receptionist's neck before ordering her, "Take me to him!"
"Ah!"
It seemed that the receptionist's screams had drawn the attention of the security guards. An uproar was stirred up in the lobby in that instant.
It did not take long for the president to receive news of what was happening.
Jake entered the president's office and reported, "President Jinn, there's a Miss Jacob here that wants to meet you downstairs. She's holding a knife against the neck of our receptionist."
'Miss Jacob?'
Shayne raised his brows a little, stood up and said, "I'll head downstairs to have a look."
…
Ding. The private elevator door opened.
The instant Shayne strode out of his private elevator, he immediately noticed Hillary holding a bloody knife against the receptionist's neck.
Shayne did not expect Hillary to be bold enough to do something illegal just to meet him.
Hillary noticed Shayne as well.
Shayne strode over to her and stared calmly at Hillary's bloodshot eyes from the after effects of the drug before reaching out to her and saying, "Hillary, give me the knife."
Hillary was shaking while holding onto the knife. She moved the knife away from the receptionist's neck and handed it over to Shayne.
The instant Shayne grabbed the knife, she pounced into his arms.
She buried her face into his chest while tightly hugging his arms as she spoke in a very desperate tone, "Help me."
Shayne was a little stunned as he lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.
Jake could clearly see that Hillary was not a terrorist, so he told every single staff member who was spectating at the moment, "Alright that's it, you guys can all disperse now. It's nothing more than a misunderstanding. Get back to work and stop spectating!"
Hillary could not control herself from nuzzling up against Shayne's chest.
Shayne cracked a sinister grin as he said, "Someone sure is excited alright."
However, when he lowered his head to take a much closer look at Hillary, he realized that she was obviously set up by someone!
Hillary felt so awful that she was about to cry. Her body felt like a wild primal beast and she had never felt like this before. She wanted to hug Shayne tightly while at the same time being hugged tightly by him as well.
Hillary who had completely lost control of herself lowered her head and begged, "Hug me… please… I'm begging you…"
Shayne bent over and immediately hugged Hillary in his arms.
That receptionist was completely baffled at what she saw.
'What is going on?'
Shayne carried her into his private elevator while Jake understandably did not follow behind him.
A staff member curiously asked Jake, "Hey, Assistant Jake, who's that girl President Jinn was hugging earlier?"
Jake replied, "I have no idea but it seems to me that… President Jinn might be dating someone real soon."
The staff member was speechless.
…
Just as Shayne was about to put Hillary down in his private elevator, the woman climbed back up to him with her soft body.
Shayne frowned before reaching out to pull her arm off as he stared intensely at her and asked, "Do you have any idea what you're doing, Hillary?"
"I don't know." She wanted to live but she felt like she was about to die.
"You won't regret this?"
Hillary reached out to hug his neck again as she whispered in a pitiful tone into his ear, "I feel awful, Shayne."
Shayne's gaze dimmed as he held onto the back of her neck before pressing her against his body tightly.
The man's towering body stood tall in front of her as he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
While they were heavily touching each other, Shayne whispered into her ear, "There's no turning back once we begin, so don't you regret it later, Hillary."
Her consciousness was slowly drifting away.
She could somewhat feel that Shayne had carried her into a room with a huge bed in it.
It felt like a dream to her.
Hillary felt as if she was like a hurt little animal that was crying pitifully.
They were all bullying her and they all wanted to destroy her.
Her tears started pouring out uncontrollably.
'She's great since she's not clingy at all.'
…
Hillary returned to the Jacob family home.
Winson immediately started yelling at Hillary the instant he noticed her return, "Do you know that you've hurt President Lewis and he's currently in the hospital? He already reported his injuries and he's planning to take you to court!"
Hillary scoffed and said, "He's shameless enough to bring me to court?"
"Come with me to the hospital and apologize to President Lewis now! I need you to apologize to him!"
Winson immediately reached out and grabbed Hillary's wrist before dragging her outside.
Hillary forcefully flung his arm away as she said, "I was only acting out on self-defense, so even if he's bringing me to court, he won't be able to do a thing to me! However, he will be charged and sentenced to the full extent of the law if I were to press charges against him."
Winson raised his brows and exclaimed, "Hillary! Are you actually planning to announce this entire matter to the world? Are you planning to completely disgrace our family!"
Hillary cackled in a sinister tone before exclaiming in a cold tone, "Am I really the one who had disgraced our family? I'm not the one who disgraced our family! You, as my biological father, allowed a middle-aged man who is almost in his fifties to rape me! You're basically a monster!"
Lina sighed as she pretentiously acted like the voice of reason as she said, "You can't just judge President Lewis based on his age, Hillary. He has amazing qualities and besides, he said that as long as you agree to marry him, he'll give us five million bucks. You shouldn't overreact to the whole situation and besides, he didn't succeed last night anyway. Not to mention, he was stabbed by you instead. Just go with your father and apologize to him. We'll forget about this entire ordeal ever happening, okay?"
'Hmph, five million bucks.'
Hillary was completely ignoring Lina as she stared intensely at Winson before saying, "So dad, you gave me up to an old perverted man just for five million bucks. Did you know that if last night's incident actually happened, I might actually commit suicide?"
Winson was stunned by her incredibly furious look as he exclaimed, "Is that really all that necessary! I'm doing this for your own good. If you marry President Lewis, you'd live a stable and good life in the future. What are you even dissatisfied with?"
The corners of Hillary's mouth twitched while her heart wrenched. However, her hatred only grew stronger and she no longer wished to continue arguing with Winson.
"My purpose here today is to completely cut ties with you guys."
Winson was stunned as he asked, "What do you mean? Are you actually serious about cutting ties with us?"
Hillary exclaimed in a clear tone, "This will be the last time I call you dad. From today onward, you are no longer my dad and I'm no longer your daughter. I will no longer carry my name and I'll stop calling Winson my dad."
"You…!"
"If I ever regret cutting ties with the Jacob family in the future, I swear I will die a gruesome death."
Winson was so furious that he stumbled backward as he stared intensely at her with his menacing gaze before exclaiming, "You… you unruly child! You're unworthy to be my daughter!"
Hillary scoffed before staring at Winson with a mocking gaze as she said, "I should be the one to say that to you. You're unworthy of being anyone's parent!"
From that moment on, there was no longer anyone named Hillary Jacob in North City.
Hillary changed her name that year and started calling herself Yanny Joy. She decided to name herself after her mother.
'Yanny Joy.'
Yanny completely moved out of the Jacob family home and left nothing that belonged to her behind.
It was as if Hillary had never existed in the Jacob family before.
She barely had a decent meal after she left the Jacob family home and Yanny knew that she would have to struggle to live in the future. However, Yanny felt free and liberated the instant she left the Jacob family home.
