The man’s gloomy face was as cold as an icy mountain, and he bit his lip as he said ominously, “Go back and tell
your grandfather that he can only choose between money and power and reputation. Wanting both will
ultimately lead to losing everything.”
Jewel was unwilling. “You are the son-in-law of our Fletcher family, and also considered a member of the Fletcher
family. You should stand united with us, the Fletcher family, and if the Fletcher family suffers, you should not
remain indifferent. Why are you so unconcerned about the matters of my Fletcher family?”
The man’s hand exerted force suddenly, and the symmetrical and slender joints made a clicking sound.
Jewel's heart was in her throat. She knew this man was
taciturn and had a volatile temper. She didn’t know what the consequences would be if she angered him, but she
held onto the hope that their close relationship and the future of the Fletcher family would protect her from any
harm as she dared to offend the imposing figure in front of her.
But she overestimated her position in the other person's
heart.
The man’s fingers lost their blood slowly. It is evident that his anger reached a minimum level.
“Jewel, do you know the reason why | married you?” the man murmured. His handsface was hidden in the

But she held herself as the future Mrs. Brown in the future, and eventually ended up in this isolated and helpless.
situation.
She walked in the sealed maze for a whole day and was eventually overwhelmed by hunger, collapsing weakly
on the ground. She pleaded softly, “I was wrong. | will never dare to act recklessly again. Please, letout.”
But the gates of hell remained tightly closed.
She didn’t know how long she had been inside until she was almost taken away by the Black and White
Impermanence. She faintly heard the voice of the gatekeeper. “Ms. Fletcher, if you're not dead, please wake up.”
She struggled to open her eyes, only to see the security guard with a mocking expression on his face, his eyes
filled with contempt towards her. “I advise you not to cin. You just never listen.”
Jewel suddenly woke up as if from a dream. She thought she was the future daughter-in-law of the Browns,
almost like a owner herself, so she arrogantly ordered the gatekeeper Thea to let her through. Little did she
know, in the eyes of the man, she was nothing at all.
Her self-proclaimed beauty, education, and family
background were not worth mentioning in the eyes of men.
He did not love her.
Don’t even have the most basic good feeling?
But why did he still propose to her?

She knew that in this hell, she had no one to rely on. She could. only rely on herself and desperately climb out.
She struggled hard to stand up, her attitude becoming extremely humble. “Please, brother security guard, take
The gatekeeper wore a satisfied smile. It was as if a hunter had finally tamed his prey. He felt a great sense of
accomplishment.
His smile made Jewel feel uncomfortable, as if she were being tamed like an animal.
“Follow me,” the gatekeeper turned around and walked quickly ahead.
Jewel had to jog hard to keep up with his pace. She was so physically weak that she had to tap into the full
potential of her body’s adrenal hormones just to barely keep up and not lose him.
Finally, she arrived on the ground.
Seeing the long-lost familiar environment, a sense of security finally descended.
“Ms. Fletcher, the master askedto convey a message to you. His wife was just a decoration.”
Jewel was dumbfounded, she couldn't understand why the man would marry her if he didn’t love her.
“I knew it,” she obediently replied.
The gatekeeper added, “Master also askedto tell you that although he is the future son-in-law of the

has a lower social status. But Master has never been a person who cares about ethics and morals.”
Jewel understood this time.
The man’s intention was to warn the Fletcher family not to
attempt to morally blackmail him into doing something he didn’t like to do.
“Okay.”
She nodded anxiously.
The basement.
The man sat in front of a piano, playing melodious notes with his slender fingers. The song was very lively, with a
beautiful melody that sounded catchy and very uplifting.
The man’s obsessive and gloomy personality, however, contrasted greatly.

Jewel heard the music coming from underground from a distance, and a conflicting expression appeared in her
eyes.
How could this man possibly play such childish music?
After being severely punished by the man, Jewel also dared not speculate about his thoughts. She just left the
Browns in a disheveled state.

the masters of the Fletcher family. Soon, a group of people gathered around Jewel's bed.
Fletcher Mu’s eyes were filled with tears as she asked, “Jewel, what's wrong with you?”
“Hungry... hungry...” Jewel mouthed the words.
After Homa called for the servant to bring grape water and fed it to Jewel, Jewel gradually recovered.
She saw Homa and tears gushed out like a spring. “Mom.” She threw herself into Homa’s arms and cried loudly.
“Jewel, what on earth happened to you? Didn't you go to the Browns? How did you end up so hungry? Don't tell
Jewel struggled to speak, “No, it's not true. | went to see Mr. Brown without his permission and forced the
security guard to taketo him. That's why he got angry. When we parted ways, he toldto find my own
way in and out. But the structure of the basement was so complex. | couldn't find my way out no matter what |
tried. | got lost inside. Sob, sob, sob.”
Mr. Fletcher was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, “What kind of maze could trap you for a whole day?”
The intelligence of the granddaughter was evident to all.
Typical mazes could never challenge Jewel.
But an extraordinary maze, it shouldn't be built under a private estate either.
Mr. Fletcher was terrified when he heard about it.
