"Jodie." Heinz frowned in disgust and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I can let you out easily."

"Would you be so kind?" Jodie naturally did not believe him.

"Tell me about the news," Heinz stated in a deep voice. "As long as you tell me everything, I can let you out immediately."

"I told you I don't know." Jodie shook her head.

"I don't know what's going on."

"If you don't know anything, why would you hire three fake reporters to come to me? You even instigated others to interview me? You dare to say that you don't know anything?"

"I really don't know anything," Jodie repeated. "I only received an order to do so. I just did what I'm told. I hate you guys anyway."

Jodie still didn't want to tell him the truth.

Heinz held the USB flash drive in his hand and asked, "You know this thing, don't you?"

Jodie was instantly shocked when she saw it. A trace of panic flashed through her eyes. "Where did you get this from?"

Heinz looked at her coldly and his eyes fell on her panic-stricken face. "This is yours. I got it out of your suitcase."

"Who do you think you are?" Jodie suddenly grew angry and shouted, "Why did you take my things without my permission?"

"If we didn't, how could we have found such a useful thing?" Heinz returned. "If I didn't see this, I really wouldn't have known what kind of person you are. It's hateful and disgusting." Her face paled and she immediately shook her head. "Did you watch it?"

His expression was cold and emotionless. He answered blandly, "Of course I did."

Jodie opened her mouth, but she suddenly stopped talking.

Heinz was still waiting for her to speak and the atmosphere became suffocating.

But she kept silent.

He became impatient. "Tell me who the man is, otherwise, the video in this USB flash drive will be exposed to the public. I'm sure you know what will happen by then."

"I am not a kind person, but I will not be so inhumane. If you cooperate and tell me what I want, I may let you go," Heinz said.

Jodie looked at him and suddenly sneered. "I have nothing left now. Do you think that I would be afraid of you? That man is much more horrifying than you are. I don't want to be hunted down by him all over the world."

"Huh!" Heinz snorted, "It seems that you're determined to not tell us."

"I won't say anything," Jodie stated firmly. "Just release it if you want to. Anyway, I used to be your woman. People will laugh at you if you release it to the public."

"You don't even care about your parents anymore," Heinz remarked.

"I can't take care of them now," Jodie returned. "I can't even protect myself now, not to mention them."

How disgusting.

Heinz was also shocked by her ruthlessness and heartlessness. She was not the woman that he once knew.

He stood up and commented, "Since you don't care about your reputation anymore, I have nothing to worry about. That's it."

He then turned around and left.

Jodie saw that he was about to leave and immediately roared, "Let me go. You can do whatever you want with the USB flash drive. You don't have the right to imprison me, Heinz."

He sneered. The look in his eyes made Jodie's hair stand on end. "How can I lure the man behind you out if I don't lock you up? He'll definitely come if you're here."

She was stunned. She looked at the cold smile on Heinz's handsome face. It was terrifying.

She stared at him in a daze, and her eyes were filled with astonishment.

"A-Are you serious?" She stammered.

"This is the last time I will ask you. Who is that man?" He asked.

Jodie pressed her lips tightly together and did not say anything.

Heinz chuckled. "Well, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. This will appear in various websites tomorrow morning and your face will be known by all the people in Northern City." She still didn't say anything.

He knew that he couldn't get any more information from her, so he didn't waste any more time. He took the USB flash drive and quickly walked out.

Jodie stood there in a daze, struggling in her heart.

What on earth should she do?

It was not that she wasn't afraid, but she was even more afraid that she would end up in an even worse state if she told him about Henry.

However, if Heinz really did release the video, what should she do?

She hesitated again. After a few minutes, she suddenly shouted, "Guards, bring Heinz here. I want to tell him something!"

Just then, the bodyguard went out to Heinz when he heard what Jodie said. He saw him waiting outside and he whispered, "President, Jodie said she wants to tell you something." "Okay."

He was not in a hurry to enter.

Heinz stayed at the door for a while. After ten minutes, he went in and saw Jodie again.

"Heinz, you're back." Jodie breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at him and said, "Don't release that video. I'll tell you who the one targeting Grace is."

Heinz looked at her coldly.

"It's Henry," she stated. "I don't know his real name. I was imprisoned by him in Alsburg and I became his slave. He asked me to look for the fake reporters. I didn't do any other things besides what I was told to do. I really don't know anything else."

"Was that the man in the underground warehouse with you?" He asked coldly.

"Yes," she confirmed. "I don't know why he did that, but I'm only following orders."

"Do you think that I would believe in you?" Heinz asked coldly.

"It's true." She shook her head. "I'm telling the truth. There's nothing I can do even if you don't want to believe me."

"Jodie, do you think that your words are still credible now?" He glared at her. "If you can't tell me the whole story, you might as well not tell me anything."

"I only have this information," Jodie insisted. "I know that Henry is mixed-blood and seems to have French ancestry. He owns a large manor in Alsburg, with many slaves. Sometimes he brings guns with him, but he's a businessman. I don't know about anything else."

Heinz narrowed his eyes. "You said that you didn't know anything, but aren't you telling me more information now?"

"I only know this much," Jodie repeated. "Stop pushing me. I've already told you everything that I can tell you. I was also confined when I'm at Alsburg. I rarely went out, so I don't know anything about him at all."

"I hold no grudges against him," he stated in a low voice. "I also don't know this person. What do you think his motives are?"

"Heinz, I don't know." She shook her head again. "How about this, if you give me back my earrings, I'll ask him. Can I show my sincerity in this way?"

Heinz gazed at her coldly and did not answer.

She pursed her lips and looked at him. She pleaded, "Please, I don't want to become a woman that everyone points fingers at. I was wrong. I won't pester you anymore. Can you trust me this time?"
