Heinz didn't say anything. He just looked at her in silence. His eyes were so sharp that they frightened her.

There was a flash of panic in Jodie's eyes. She was actually afraid that the video in the USB flash drive would be revealed to the public.

She didn't know when that d*mned thing had been put in her suitcase.

Henry had shown it to her when she was in Alsburg. She didn't expect him to put in her suitcase. If she knew that it was there, she would have destroyed it.

However, it was already in Heinz's hand. She couldn't destroy it even if she wanted to.

"Heinz, for the sake of our love and marriage, don't make it public," Jodie begged for mercy again.

He remained silent.

"I'm begging you!" Her expression changed completely.

Heinz stated in a deep voice, "Jodie, your change of attitude makes you more hideous. I believe that you know more, but you just refuse to tell me. If you tell me the truth, I will give it back to you."

"I've already confessed everything I know," she shouted. "I've told you everything. I've had a hard time in Alsburg."

"I think that you were doing well there." Heinz looked at her and said. "Although you are very thin and your eyes are swollen because of crying, you are not haggard at all."

"It can be seen that your state of health reflects your six years of life, which is much better than the torment your parents have suffered."

"You were willing to be a slave to a man. You were able to take care of yourself."

"I don't care about your life in Alsburg. I just want to know something more useful. If you can't tell me and offer more valuable intel, it's hard to say whether the public will know about it or not tomorrow," he finished.

"Heinz, I am your former lover. How could you ruin me like this?" Jodie accused miserably.

"You're wrong. It's not me who ruined you. It's you yourself," Heinz replied in a deep voice. "You're the one who brought this upon yourself."

"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have become like this," she shouted.

"You didn't make good decisions yourself, but now you accuse others." Heinz glared at her coldly. "What you are doing now is still harming others. This is your life. If you could control yourself, maybe your life would be much different."

"You don't need to teach me a lesson." She shook her head and shouted, "I have told you everything that I know. You don't believe me, yet you still want to force me."

"What's that man's full name?" He asked.

Jodie paused.

"Don't tell me that you don't know," he sneered.

"The name of the people in Alsburg is very long. I think that Henry doesn't even know his own name. I heard it once. They didn't even finish reading it even after half a minute. How can I remember it?" Jodie asked.

"Well, fine." Heinz had finally lost his patience this time, so he turned around and left.

"I really don't know," she shouted from behind.

There was only silence that answered her.

"Heinz, wait," Jodie yelled when she saw that he was about to leave.

She panicked. "Let me tell you a secret.

Please don't leave."

Heinz immediately stopped. He turned around and said blandly, "Jodie, don't make such a desperate struggle."

"Heinz, I'll tell you a secret. Come here, I really have a secret to tell you," she continued. "Maybe it will be helpful for you." Heinz came back again.

Jodie looked at Heinz and said hurriedly, "I know that Henry is doing business with our people, but I don't know who he really is. Maybe you can investigate it. Henry came from Alsburg recently. You can investigate the immigration department and you will definitely replace him. I'll tell you his appearance when you replace the picture. His skin is slightly dark, but he's a mixed-blood man."

"You're not an idiot after all," Heinz stated calmly.

"Heinz, please help me to destroy that USB flash drive," Jodie took the opportunity and said.

"It's impossible for me to destroy it," he denied her request. "That's because you've always gone back on your words. Furthermore, you're no longer the Jodie you used to be."

"If this incident of mine was to be broadcast, there would be no way for me to survive in Northern City," she yelled.

"I know," Heinz said. "You should also know that Grace is having trouble living in Northern City now. You slandered her and hurt her. It's really detestable."

"But it's true," she argued.

"You can hurt me," Heinz said. "I am the one who found Grace. What does it have to do with her? She never knew that I was married. You can always come to me for revenge. However, you've hurt her and you made a mistake by doing so."

"I said that it wasn't me." Jodie shook her head. "I didn't do anything that would hurt her."

"Let's talk about it when the truth comes out," he answered in a low voice. "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. I've never thought about asking you to admit it."

This time, he left quickly and did not stay any longer.

Jodie fell to the ground and whispered, "Heinz, I love you, but how could I be willing to be treated like this?

No one answered her question.

The room was silent.

Heinz came out of the house, put the USB flash drive in his pocket and went to see Jensen.

"Investigate a man named Henry. He's of French lineage and has slightly dark skin. Check out if he's appeared in Alsburg or Northern City recently," Heinz said.

"Henry?" Jensen was very surprised. "Who is that? Don't you have his full name?"

"He is the one who imprisoned Jodie in Alsburg," Heinz replied, took out the USB flash drive and handed it to Jensen. "Close the door."

"Why?" Jensen took it and looked at the door.

Realizing something, he immediately closed the door.

He came back, turned on his laptop and inserted the USB flash drive in his laptop. Then, he opened the files.

As he watched, his jaw dropped. He was completely dumbfounded.

"My God, how could Jodie do that!" Jensen exclaimed. "But at times like this, it is very difficult to use rational thinking to express the desire for survival. If she did not beg for mercy, and did not compromise, maybe she would've lost her life."

Heinz turned to him. "It was fine for her to do that. However, her behavior after she returned is shameful. It's not shameful for a woman to show weakness and compromise when she is extremely hurt, but her actions upon her return were really ridiculous and despicable."

Jensen nodded. "How did you get this?"

"It's in Jodie's luggage. She brought it back herself," Heinz replied.

"What are you going to do?"

"I wanted to post it online." After Heinz finished, he added, "I originally intended to."

"Have you changed your mind now?" Jensen asked.

Heinz nodded. "It's very satisfying if I do that, but I know that Grace definitely wouldn't want me to do this. If she knew that I had posted this on the internet, she would definitely be angry. She certainly doesn't want to get rid of her own troubles by hurting others."
