Even though the Zhao family was destroyed the previous year, the Han family had to face almost the same amount of impact from it. After all, with someone who had wide connections and with Bronza having extraordinary skills in martial arts, the Han family was able to find their own spot and build their own status in Capital City.

Even though Dante Entertainment was much bigger than Bronza Entertainment within the industry in Capital City, they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble with them. That was the benefit of having a strong foundation in business.

Upon hearing the information, Fade's expression became much gloomier.

Sheridan was a married man and he had invited Winnie for a night out. With even her phone getting turned off, it was hard to not think about the possibility that something bad might happen. With this in mind, Fade hastily asked for Dante's help to locate Sheridan.

After a few minutes, Dante returned with some news. About half an hour ago, Sheridan used one of his employee's identification cards to register a suite at a five-star hotel. Apparently, there were witnesses who saw him entering with a woman.

Upon hearing the news, Fade immediately rushed to the hotel.

As he was worried about Winnie's safety, he couldn't care less and drove as quickly as he could, surpassing the other cars on the road.

Fifteen minutes later, he rushed into the hotel.

With a loud screech, the rapid braking of the car left a long, black mark on the ground. Fade immediately rushed out of the car without waiting for the car to come to a full stop.

He threw the car keys to the parking attendant at the entrance and strode into the hotel. He immediately headed to suite 512 that was booked by Sheridan.

At that moment, inside the suite, a man in a suit was holding out a wine glass towards a beautiful woman. He said with a smile, "Winnie, you're still very beautiful after so many years."

She took the wine and put it on the table instead of drinking it. She looked at the man in front of her and said with a smile, "I'm old. How am I still beautiful?"

"Winnie, in my eyes, you're not old at all. You'll never get old. In my heart, I'll forever see you with the appearance of when you were eighteen." Sheridan inched closer towards her with adoration in his eyes. She could instantly feel the intensity of his stare and the warmth that was emitting from his body.

At that moment, a strange light flashed through her eyes. She instinctively backed away and said, "Sheridan, it's getting late, I'll need to go back now."

After saying that, she picked up her bag and was ready to get up.

However, Sheridan instantly reached out and grabbed her arm. He pulled her back down onto the couch.

"Winnie, we're both former classmates. Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't we talk about the past and reminisce about old memories?" He smiled at her.

However, the smile on his face was lustful and obscene in her eyes. It instinctively made her alert and fearful.

She wanted to leave when she saw the fanatical look in his eyes. Despite this, she knew that she couldn't leave by force, otherwise, she wouldn't know what he would do to her if she irritated him. Therefore, she could only stall for time or wait for another opportunity to leave the grasp of this horrendous man.

Amidst her thoughts, Winnie couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt.

After that day's meeting, she was supposed to head for dinner with Scott and the rest. However, she coincidentally met a few of her old classmates. Therefore, they invited her to a small gathering to catch up with each other.

She had initially rejected the offer. However, at that time, Sheridan had already called up a few other old classmates to gather. As such, she felt bad for rejecting them, so she went back on her words. However, when they had reached a bar, Winnie instantly regretted it. After chatting with a few old classmates, they left and eventually left her and Sheridan alone.

Soon after that, he continued to pour drinks for her, casually slipping in the times where they used to head to classes and work together. How could she not understand the meaning behind those words? However, out of consideration for her classmate's feelings, she didn't call him out but rather hinted at him in between conversations. On the contrary, he turned a deaf ear to it and continued to fiercely attack her. He even began to harass her.

As she tried to call for help, he immediately took her phone away from her and turned it off. Hence, with his subordinates, she was forced into a hotel with him.

At the thought of what was going to happen next, she couldn't help but tremble. She felt a chill well up in her heart.

At that moment, Sheridan was

becoming more emotional by the second. He was staring at Winnie with lustful eyes. He reminisced, "Winnie, do you remember those days where they called us the jade boy and golden maiden of our glory years? A lot of kids and teachers. held us in high regard. Even after we graduated, we even got to work in the same company. At that time..."

His face was full of intoxicating emotions as he relived the past in his mind.

However, as she recalled those memories, she looked over at his face. She only felt disgusted and had no emotional attachments at all.

However, what Sheridan mentioned

was true. At that time, the both of them were classmates in the film academy With both good looks and good grades, they were deemed as the campus belle and prince charming of their time. Many thought that they would end up together.

At that time, they both did have some sort of feelings towards each other. However, it wasn't to the point of being lovers.

Soon after that, they joined the same

entertainment company and had deepened their feelings for each other. They intended to continue on as lovers. Sheridan even dropped hints to Winnie as he was planning to confess to her on her birthday and make their relationship official.

However, Sheridan chose to resign the day before her birthday and left both the company and Winnie.

At that time, she found it hard to accept and asked him for an explanation.

He then said that the place was not enough for him to grow and he thought of heading down to Capital City to make a living. Not only that, he even said that he was still young and wanted to put his dreams firs while putting love aside.

Although she was sad, she eventually understood him. In the end, she wished him well and sent him off from Dragonville.

It was only after a year and a half later that she occasionally heard news of Sheridan from her other classmates. It was then that she learned the truth of the incident.

It turned out that the reason for his sudden change of mind was that he met a CEO from Capital City. That CEO promised to keep Sheridan by her side and help him in his career.

Therefore, he, who was full of ambition, had immediately agreed to accept this rare opportunity and forgot about the promise he had with Winnie.

That's why the farewell was so sudden.
