Time slipped quietly by, and before they knew it, the scorching afternoon had arrived, every bit as heated as their hearts.
Jonas had to admit something: a policewoman devoted to fairness and justice was remarkably tenacious in every respect. Throughout three hours of humiliating interrogation, even when she suffered utter humiliation and involuntarily begged for mercy, she still refused to yield in her heart.

"What do you know? It's called strategy!"
Yucas was already so exhausted that she could barely move. Even so, upon hearing Jonas's words, she defiantly raised her head and summoned every last ounce of strength to make her unyielding declaration!
"You're nothing but a capitalist! You might wear down my body and destroy my spirit, but you'll never change my indomitable will!"
Jonas couldn't help chuckling, but he didn't expose her attempt to save face.
