"Since it won't kill her..." He smiled faintly. "Then let's draw as much blood as possible."

With that, ignoring Bethany's resistance, he quickly bound her to another chair.

"It's clear the Shaw family didn't waste their efforts raising you. You have such deep sisterly feelings for Lily, so don't just talk about it."

As Frank tightened the knots of the rope and gestured to the medical staff, he said, "What are you waiting for? Draw the blood."

"Mom! Mom!" Bethany cried out desperately for help!

Mrs. Shaw, frantic, tried to rush in, but Frank's people had arrived, blocking both sides of the door.

Those wanting to get out couldn't, and those wanting to get in couldn't.

It was a matter of who was crazier, more ruthless, and more reckless!

Mrs. Shaw grabbed Madam Shaw's arm, her tone more heartfelt than when she begged me earlier, her voice trembling with fear. "Mom... talk to Frank, he listens to you! Bethany, Bethany will really be in trouble if this goes on..."

    This floor was originally a VIP area. When he appeared, everyone's expressions changed.Only Frank remained filled with hostility.Luke's rage had dissipated, replaced by the calmness and shrewdness of a businessman. "Mr. Frost, your wife is... Ms. Wilson?"As he spoke the last two words, he looked at me.This "thing" finally had a surname in his mouth.Ryan's voice was as cold as ice as he retorted, "What do you think?""Mr. Frost should still distinguish between a wife and an ex-wife." Frank's voice was gentle but his tone was unyielding."Don't worry. I'll make sure to send you an invitation when we remarry."As Ryan spoke, he tried to pull me away from Frank.Frank did not let go.Tension was rising.The fear of having blood drawn earlier made me temporarily forget my physical discomfort. Now, Ryan's presence gave me a sense of relief.I was still itchy.I struggled with Frank's grip. "You... handle Lily's matter first."In the current situation, if he left with me an

    Ryan glanced at Jane, hinting, "Don't you think it's a bit too bright here?"Jane was carefully applying ointment to me. "I don't think so. The brightness is just right.""Ryan." I looked at him. "You should leave.""I should leave?"Ryan cast a glance outside, his eyes darkening. "Are you planning to go be a portable blood bag for someone else?"I understood what he meant. Although the Smith family had clarity, Mrs. Shaw and Bethany were crazed beyond reason. They saw me as a thorn and would seize any opportunity to tear me apart.Ryan remained calm and collected, pulling up a chair by the bed and crossing his long legs. "Do you want some water?""You’re sitting with your legs crossed now. Who would dare ask for water?" Jane, who was already displeased with him, seized the opportunity to make sarcastic comments.Ryan smiled. "Aren't you here too?""You deserve to be divorced." Jane smiled and poured a glass of water for me.After the IV was done, it wasn't too late yet. I wa

    I was also somewhat puzzled. Together with Megan, I looked at Jack in unison. He was as composed and gentle as usual, refilling my cup with water while smiling lightly. "What's there to not say? It's just that being too detailed might cause him more trouble."Megan asked, "Why?""You said he's in a tense situation with your father, didn't you?" Jack lowered his gaze and said methodically, "The more detailed you are, the more he might worry about Charlotte. If things stir up at home, wouldn't that cause him more trouble?""That's true..." Megan nodded. "But I've already mentioned it. What should we do? Although he hasn't seen it yet, I can’t really unsend the message."Jack kept his smile. "It's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."Jane came out of the bedroom and was surprised to see Jack and Megan. She greeted them with a smile.Jack glanced at her and said regretfully, "On Tom's wedding day, he was waiting for you.""Waiting for me?" Jane opened a bottle of water

    "Okay!" I nodded seriously. "Are you going back to Jelaston now?""Yes, seeing for myself that you're okay will make me feel at ease.""Jack, you don't have to..."He responded lightly, "Can’t I be concerned about a friend?"I sighed in relief, smiling gratefully, and said nothing more."Call me anytime if you need anything."After giving that instruction, Jack looked at Megan. "Miss Smith, did you drive here? Do you need a lift?""I..." Megan's eyes darted, and she shook her head obediently. "I didn't drive here myself. My driver dropped me off and left after that. Thank you, Mr. Renolds!"On the way back to the room, Jane asked curiously, "Does Megan like Jack?""I think so," I smiled as I answered.Megan is sweet and lively, while Jack is gentle and considerate. If they ended up together, they would make a perfect couple.Plus, with Megan's family background and her brother, Frank, being such a troublemaker, the Renolds family wouldn't dare mistreat her.Jane, however, w

    Frank grasped my arm with a firm hold. His usually nonchalant face was now filled with a mix of curiosity and barely restrained excitement, his brown eyes fixed intently on me.He seemed to have even forgotten to breathe.It was as if my answer was of utmost importance to him!"Yes." I was a bit confused. "Why..."The next moment, he pulled me into a tight embrace.His chest was trembling!This hug was entirely different from the measured and restrained one from before. It felt as if he was handling a precious, recovered treasure—overwhelming and impassioned.It was like breaking free from the chains that had bound him for so long.After a while, he reluctantly released me. His smile was one of unprecedented joy, like a simple-minded person. "I knew it was you. You must be her."He pinched my face. "See, I told you I wouldn't fail to recognize you.""Who am I?" I was somewhat dazed by his actions. "Lily?""I'm taking you to meet Grandma."Almost as soon as he finished speak

    "Yam? Richard checked the menu beforehand, so it's impossible..."Madam Shaw was quite certain.After all, Lily was allergic to yam, so the Shaw family would certainly be cautious about it.Frank poured a cup of tea for Madam Shaw. "Don't worry, I confirmed with the private restaurant responsible for the dinner. There was indeed yam powder in the desserts.""Then Charlotte..." Madam Shaw actually remembered my yam allergy. "You had rashes all over because you ate yam?""Yes, I didn't pay attention when I ate." I nodded.Frank reminded, "Grandma, it's not just Charlotte who's allergic to yam.""You mean..." Madam Shaw's expression became serious. "Lily didn't show any allergic symptoms... but is it possible she didn't eat those two desserts?""She ate them." Frank's answer was very certain.Madam Shaw was puzzled. "How did you know?"Frank hesitated slightly, looking unusually guilty. "Well, I hacked into the Shaw family's surveillance system and watched the whole banquet."M

    I was feeling a bit uncertain as well. After all, I knew very little about Lily.I remained silent and didn’t say anything.Lily moved closer to Frank, crouching beside him like a frightened little bunny. "Frank, what's wrong? Why are you speaking with such a cold voice?""Lily?"Frank eyed her closely. "Do you know when I started suspecting you?""Huh? What are you talking about?"Her eyes were filled with confusion.Frank smiled faintly. "Lily would never call me Frank. She always called me by another name. You gave yourself away the first time we met."That was why Frank had been so certain.But because of that DNA report, he had think things through."I..." Her eyes flickered, and she wrung her hands anxiously, tears seeming to well up. "What... what did I call you when I was a child...""Don’t you know quite a lot about our childhood?" Frank scrutinized her. "Did you forget how to call me among everything else?"‘Frank Smith.’Under his questioning, the first respon

    Immediate first aid was administered.Soon, she "woke up."Frank lost patience with the ongoing farce. After bidding farewell to Madam Shaw, he grabbed me by the back of my collar and said, "Let's go.""Why are you always so ungentlemanly?" I glared at him as he tugged my collar, pulling me out of the courtyard. He glanced at me. "Are you hungry?""What do you think?"It was already nearly eight o'clock.Just when I thought he might be polite, he lifted his chin and said, "Let's go. Don't you owe me a few meals? Treat me to dinner."I gave up. ‘Seriously?’But it was a promise I had made. Once we were in the car, I asked, "What do you want to eat?""Spaghetti."I thought he was joking.But when we reached the convenience store, he actually made me get out and buy some spaghetti.Seeing the flavors of the source I bought, his eyes darkened a little more. "Charlotte, if the birthday, blood type, allergen, taste, and my intuition are all just coincidences, then I accept my f

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

    "I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

    Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

    "People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

    At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately
