Lose Control
“I’ll speak! I’ll speak. That’s right. I did it on purpose. I saw her keep following me, so I was tempted to
sell her away for a fortune.”
The woman finally admitted to it.
“What did you say? You were going to sell her?”
Solomon was beyond furious upon hearing that.
How dare she try to sell my one-year-old niece? What would have happened if we failed to find her? I
can’t imagine it!
Just then, his childhood memories flashed across his mind. He recalled when his mother and he were
wandering on the streets when he was young.
His mother would leave him at the front door of others to con them for money.
He could not imagine how he managed to survive the fear back then.
He thought he had forgotten about all that. Yet after he heard the woman mention she had been planning
to sell Jaena, the trauma came back to haunt him.
A chill ran down his spine as he started to tremble.
Bang!
Losing his mind, he grabbed a chair and smashed it down on the woman.
The woman let out a scream before collapsing to the floor. Blood spilled out from her head.
Despite so, Solomon had no intention to stop at all.
He seemed to have lost all his rationality. After smashing the chair, he picked up the ashtray, the wine
bottle, and anything he could get his hand on, and one after another, he hurled them at the woman.
Eventually, the woman stopped moving completely. Solomon’s subordinates immediately stepped over to
stop him by grabbing his arms, and only then did he stop, panting heavily.
“Mr. Akiyama… are you okay?”
Everyone at the scene was shocked, including the bartender, who was pale with fear upon seeing what
happened.
Solomon was panting heavily, trying hard to recollect himself.
After a while, he regained his senses and shifted his gaze downward.
She’s dead.
The woman was no longer breathing, and the scene was incredibly bloody. Some of her blood even
stained his pants.
Solomon’s pupils began to constrict.
“Mr. Akiyama?”
“I’m fine…”
Solomon tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart. He signaled his men to clean up the mess while
he walked out of the place in a daze.
He panicked not because he killed someone.
It was not his first time taking a life, so he was not that bothered about it, especially since she had
committed a crime.
He panicked because he never expected to lose his mind over his childhood tragedy.
As such, he decided to go home.
Little did he know that the moment he got out, someone was observing him in a black car across the
street.
Moments after Solomon left, a corpse was carried out from the nightclub.
The woman in the black car displayed a satisfied smile upon seeing that.
Great. This is what I want.
…
Meanwhile, at Frontier Bay.
Devin and Sabrina brought their daughter to the personal physician to conduct a thorough checkup.
Just then, they heard the news that Solomon had beaten the woman who abducted Jaena to death at a
nightclub.
They were left in utter astonishment.
“Why?”
“The woman did not take Jaena home out of the goodness of her heart just because Jaena was following
her. She wanted to sell her for money!”
“What did you say!”
Sabrina was infuriated upon hearing that.
Fortunately, the composed Devin grabbed her arm and gestured at her to calm down.
“Since the woman had already admitted to her crime, he should have handed her over to the cops. Why
did he kill her in front of so many witnesses? Has he always been that impulsive?”
“That’s not it. Something didn’t seem right with him at the time.”
The subordinate elaborated the whole incident to them.
Upon hearing that, Devin’s expression turned extremely solemn.
Sabrina’s rage also faded and was replaced with utter befuddlement.
Did he lose control? How could that be? He doesn’t seem like a rash person, though.
“Fine. I’ll go check on him.”
After pondering for a while, Devin decided to find him.
Sabrina wanted to go too, but Jaena was still in the middle of the checkup.
Half an hour later, at a local apartment complex.
Solomon’s lifestyle seemed somehow unreasonable. By right, he should be living in a more luxurious
place since he was now the president of Hayes Corporation.
But still, he chose to stay in his previous apartment, which was a relatively old building.
It was the same apartment back when he first started his company.
