Chapter 364 A Self-destructive Love

I knew it was too late to say anything. Judging from the situation that night, Ivanna was already in too deep. That man had already captured her heart.

Ivanna let out a heavy sigh. "You've been through it, so you should know that matters of the heart are something no one can truly explain. When you love, you love. There's no such thing as should or shouldn't Ivanna was trying to rationalize with herself, and she wasn't wrong. It was just like Lauren and Oliver, or me and Atlas. We gave in despite knowing it was pointless because of that heart-pounding sensation. "Why did you fall for this trap after not seeing each other for so long?" Lauren was frustrated and asked," Do you realize how painful this kind of self-destructive love is? Can't at least one of us find some happiness?"

Lauren's tone conveyed helplessness. Unlike Lauren, who had hope, my relationship with Atlas was like a

fleeting star.

"You seemed to have a clear head and many promising opportunities ahead. I thought Atlas would make Chlo happy, but... What is up with us? This is how I'll spend my life-half alive, half dead. You can't keep leaping into the fire pit!"

"Can't you guys offer me some support?" Ivanna pleaded with us.

"I'm not trying to scare you, but this type of love is irreversible! Lauren said it seriously.

I reclined and placed my injured foot on the coffee table, staying silent

"I know there's no future, but...I can't control it!" Ivanna murmured.

Lauren asked, "What does he do?"

...Jared Attwood," Ivanna said in a barely audible voice.

"What?" Lauren was clearly shocked. "Ivanna..."

I looked at Lauren, puzzled. "What's going on?"

"You haven't heard of Jared Attwood? She's in love with Jared Attwood!" Lauren's fingers started

trembling.

1..have not. Jared.. Attwood?" I seemed confused and sald, "That's a strange name."

"Strange? Damn it... He's even stranger!" Lauren slumped onto the sofa, seemingly at a loss.

"What's happening? Don't keep me in the dark!" I looked at both of them, each wearing a more perplexing expression than the other.

*Jared Attwood. Anyone in Foswood's scene will know who he is." Lauren sounded a bit exasperated. Ivanna, you're playing a high-stakes game this time. I'm impressed." flooked at Lauren in confusion. "Why do you say that? Stop acting so mysterious!"

Lauren was speechless. "I'm being mysterious? She stepped on a landmine!"

"Can you speak English?" I was getting anxious.

"She's fallen for the king of the gray area. He has an incredibly fierce wife. They call Jared 'gray' because his wife is ruthless and evil, like a black rose."

I suddenly felt a shiver down my spine, looking at Ivanna. She seemed even more vulnerable now.

"You've got some nerve, daring to get involved with him," Lauren said.

I asked calmly, "You don't need to be anxious, Ivanna. How did you come to know this person?"

Lauren answered my question before Ivanna could. "He's the owner of the Emgrand Nightclub. He also owns the famous Emgrand Hotel, Emgrand Country Club, and Emgrand Racecourse. Anything with the name Emgrand belongs to Jared."

Lauren's voice was weary as she spoke. I caught on. These businesses required quite a foundation to run.

"I've heard of this person. He's got quite the reputation, but he keeps a low profile. Very few people truly know him. He's unfathomable." Lauren looked at me. "Rumors say he's quite cunning, too. There are many

different stories."

I tried to recall that blurry figure once more. He was a tall, refined man with a powerful presence. I regretted not getting a good look at him.

I couldn't fathom how Ivanna got acquainted with him.

"Ivanna, If he's like that, it's better to cut it off," I gently advised Ivanna.
