Chloe was seething with anger, but it wasn't because of Charlie Sr's injury. It was because their plan had failed, and Margaret was still alive. To add insult to injury, Charlie Sr had risked his life to help Margaret while in critical condition. Chloe gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes at her husband, feeling like slapping him."Let me take you in, Dad," Charlie Jr said, noticing his mother's lack of action.Chloe pulled out her phone as soon as her husband and son left."Where are you, Peter?" she asked when he picked up."I'll send you the address," he replied before hanging up abruptly.Chloe's face twisted with anger, and her eyes darkened as she vowed, "You'll pay for this. Once I'm done with this damn family, you'll be the next to go."She slammed her palm on the steering wheel and started the car, heading towards Peter's residence.Chloe was escorted into Peter's home by his butler. Upon seeing her, Peter's face lit up with a smile. He had been trying to find a way to brin

Stella was left speechless by Charlie Jr's response. She had expected him to reminisce about the time they spent together or the moments he had helped her. Sorrow filled her as her eyes reddened. Observing her reaction, Charlie Jr shook his head and walked into the elevator, riding it up to the top floor. Upon arrival, he made his way to the ward where his father was staying. "Dad, I've brought the medication. You should take it now. I'll go out and purchase the remaining items," Charlie Jr informed his father. He handed him the bag of medicine and left the ward. Charlie Sr opened the bag and retrieved the pills. He poured himself a glass of water and swallowed the medication.Chloe entered the ward and fixed a cold glare on Charlie Sr. "Where's Junior?" she demanded curtly. Charlie Sr didn't want to argue with Chloe and gave a straightforward response. "He's not here. If you have nothing else to say, please leave." Chloe's expression darkened at being dismissed. "What the hell i

Peter was caught off guard when his father called him out of the blue, informing him that his misdeed had been uncovered within an hour of its execution."I don't understand, Dad. What are you talking about?" Peter feigned ignorance, hoping to avoid the inevitable confrontation.But his father's voice was unforgiving. "Don't move from where you are. I'm taking you to Madame Agnes' mansion, and you won't escape punishment."The call ended abruptly, leaving Peter feeling bitter and disappointed. He had expected his father to be proud of his actions, not cowardly and unenthusiastic."Damn it! Damn, it!!" Peter yelled in frustration.Chloe's complexion turned ashen as she listened to Peter's conversation with his father. It was clear that Madame Agnes had discovered their plans."Peter, what are we going to do?" Chloe's voice quivered with fear.Peter shot her a glare. If she hadn't come running to his house, no one would have found out what they had done."Get out of here!" Peter bellowe

Chloe emerged from the hospital feeling despondent, her underlings trailing behind her. As soon as she stepped outside, she shot a stern look at them."Don't follow me," she said in a hushed tone, before striding towards her car. Without wasting any time, she got in and drove off.She soon found herself at a bar, where she booked a private room and ordered a variety of alcoholic beverages. She proceeded to drink non-stop, her eyes brimming with tears as she consumed bottle after bottle.Suddenly, the door burst open and Peter walked in, his face filled with anger. He stared down at Chloe, who was still drinking."Chloe," he said, clenching his fists in fury. The vein on his forehead bulged as he spoke. "Do you have any idea what you've done? My two brothers are in the hospital, my sister is dead, and even our family's son-in-law is gone."Peter had visited over four family members who had suffered fatal accidents before the men he had sent to track Chloe finally reported her location

Peter's driver took them to the marriage registrar bureau. After obtaining the marriage certificate, they stepped out of the building. Chloe stood there, dazed and unable to blink. She couldn't understand how she had ended up married to Peter, a monster even worse than Charlie Sr."Regretting it already?" Peter's voice interrupted her thoughts.Chloe glared at him, her body shaking with anger. Peter remained composed and said, "Remember, I'm your husband now. You need to learn to behave properly. I won't tolerate disobedience from my wife. Don't even think about causing a scene here. People are watching us."Chloe looked around and realized that they were indeed drawing attention. Wherever they went, they would always be the centre of attention.Chloe reluctantly got into the car with Peter and they directed the driver to take them to his house. When they arrived, Chloe quickly walked towards the gate, Peter ran after her and caught her arm while boiling in rage. The atmosphere was t
