Chapter 33: Stay with Him for Three Days"You can't cut off his hand!" The driver was the first to speak up in opposition.Jason followed suit and said, "Is there really no other way?"Matt didn't answer, his gaze fixed on Elaine, who was looking down and remained silent. "What do you say?" he asked.Upon hearing this, everyone nervously stared at Elaine. She looked up with a calm face, showing no emotions, and her voice was indifferent. "I don't mind."Matt's lips twitched as he stared at Elaine like she was a monster."Miss Smith, you..." Jason had a hint of reproach in his tone.Glancing at the unconscious Aaron on the bed, Elaine pursed her lips and refused to change her mind.Suddenly, the person lying on the bed woke up. Aaron struggled to open his eyes, glanced at Elaine, then looked at Jason, and commanded, "Don't let her leave.""I know," Jason quickly promised.Aaron shifted his gaze back to Elaine, giving her a deep look. Elaine stubbornly clenched her teeth and was about t
"Is that okay? Of course not!" Elaine glared at Aaron. Aaron's attitude made it clear that she couldn't leave the house until he said so.Being blackmailed like this, she felt extremely unwilling. Weighing the pros and cons, she said, "If you want me to agree, there's a condition.""Let's hear it," Aaron said, weak but still mysterious as he looked at her."After three days, I will leave through this door, and you will never appear in front of me again. Even if we coincidentally meet, we won't acknowledge each other."Elaine boldly spoke out her plan, feeling anxious inside but maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface. She even raised her chin slightly, staring arrogantly at Aaron. She would never allow herself to show weakness in front of this man again.She thought her provocation would make Aaron angry or dismissively scoff at her, mocking her for overestimating herself. However, Aaron just looked at her deeply, as if contemplating something or remembering something profound. She
Melissa Garcia knew from the moment he appeared that his target was Aaron Group. She understood that his mention of death didn't mean making Aaron disappear from this world but rather making him vanish from Aaron Group.From her perspective, Sarah deeply loved Aaron, and Aaron had always respected her. There was no need for her to help Lionel.But now Lionel had something to hold against her."I need time to consider," she thought, wanting to buy some time to come up with a foolproof plan.Lionel sneered, "You're smart, and I'm sure you understand what I mean. I just want to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me. As for Aaron, once he leaves Aaron Group, he'll be nothing. You and your daughter will have no power over him.""What do you mean?" Melissa Garcia asked, surprised.Lionel smirked but remained silent.Melissa Garcia had her own considerations. Although she was satisfied with Aaron as her son-in-law, it was true that Aaron wasn't a man she or Sarah could control. Take the rece
This man, who was hailed as a genius in the business world and always admired by everyone, was like a deity towering above the rest. Even Sarah, once she crossed his bottom line, he would turn his face without hesitation.And now he sat at the dining table with a dark expression, the echoes of a woman's unrestrained laughter resounding in his ears. Elaine stood at the staircase, bending over with laughter.After laughing, she elegantly adjusted her disheveled hair and glanced back at him, innocently saying, "Don't you still have another hand to use?"Elaine nonchalantly turned her head and arrogantly raised her chin as she walked upstairs."Elaine!"A man's furious roar came from downstairs.Elaine slammed the door with a loud bang, using it to counter his yelling. In the depths of her heart, an evil thought even crossed her mind—would he die if he went without food for three days and three nights? But she was thinking too much. Aaron wasn't a fool, and he certainly wouldn't let himse
This meal tested Elaine's patience every minute, but thankfully it finally came to an end. Elaine was washing dishes in the kitchen when she heard Aaron making a phone call to have clothes delivered. It brought her a little relief.Coming out of the kitchen, she saw Aaron sitting in the living room. After giving it some thought, she returned to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, placing it in front of him. Aaron raised his eyelids to look at her."Thanks.""No need," Elaine replied without being polite. She went straight to the point, "Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"Aaron's face turned dark, and he glared at her in annoyance.Elaine didn't care and said, "I have to make a call home. They will be worried."Not only would they be worried, but Elaine had disappeared without any reason. The Smith family would probably be frantic searching for her. Although she hadn't completely integrated into the Smith family, the people there treated her sincerely and she didn't want to
The faint smell of tobacco on him seeped into Elaine's nostrils, swirling like a delicate mist, permeating her heart. Uncontrollable moisture welled up in Elaine's eyes, and the man's cool fingers slid past her ear. Elaine trembled suddenly and hurriedly took a few steps back.Aaron awkwardly held up his hand that was about to retract, his gaze showing a hint of surprise. Elaine met his gaze for a moment before turning her face away and walking forward with long strides. "I'm tired, let's find a place to sit."Watching her walk away, Aaron furrowed his brow helplessly.Out of Aaron's sight, Elaine clenched her lips tightly. Even though she knew that once Aaron turned gentle, he was anything but human, she couldn't help but be moved by him, stirring her heart. This feeling was simply awful. She would rather he be fierce, ruthless. Then she wouldn't need to be polite to him. Once she endured these three days, the past would no longer matter.Aaron caught up, gave her a deep look, then k
The Garcia residence. Sarah had been acting like a lunatic, making a ruckus all night, demanding to see Aaron. Finally, she had fallen asleep in the early morning hours, but it didn't last long. She started throwing things again.Melissa Garcia couldn't take it anymore. She paced back and forth in the house, clenching her fists, and finally decided to call Lionel. "Didn't we agree to ruin him? Why haven't we seen any progress?"Lionel, who had just left the Brown mansion, heard Melissa Garcia's frustrated voice and pursed his lips. He calmly opened the car door and got in. It was only after the car left the mansion that he leisurely replied, "Don't worry, rushing won't get us anywhere."Melissa Garcia suppressed the words that were building up in her throat. Upstairs, she heard another round of things being thrown. Exhausted, she pressed her temple with her hand and said, "Do it as soon as possible. We don't know where he's hiding, and this is the only way to force him out."Lionel sm
Elaine couldn't help but say in disbelief, "Enough, Aaron! You have no right to interfere in my affairs. Give me back the design!"Aaron, however, took her retort as acceptance, and the image of her laughing and chatting with Calvin came to his mind. He couldn't restrain the anger welling up inside him, and his right hand clenched tightly, causing a sharp, piercing pain. He quickly let go, but the white bandage was stained with fresh blood. His eyes were tinged with a glaring red.Elaine realized the danger and took a few steps back, shrinking. She hadn't forgotten the ferocious side of the man standing in front of her. In this remote area, if something were to happen, she had no way to seek help. And what she couldn't understand was how she had provoked him. He had just been a gentle and charming gentleman a moment ago."Aaron, don't forget what you said yourself. Last night, you said we should get along well. But now, you're wearing a fierce and wicked expression. As a grown man, do
