“Those around me are all well aware of my temper. What I hate the
most are traitors.”
Ryan lit his cigarette with his gloved hand and tilted his head up slightly to exhale the smoke. Then he
asked calmly, “Who told you.
that Carrie and I were staying here, Zoe?”
It was like a thorn was lodged in Zoe’s throat. Her face turned pale, and she hadpletely lost the

ability to speak.
This was her brother Ryan, who doted on her and loved her the most.
But at this moment, she was terrified of him.
“You don’t know? That’s fine. I do.”
As he finished his sentence, another two bodyguards dragged Adam inside. He had already been
beaten half to death.
Zoe covered her mouth in shock.
There was a bright red trail of blood that followed Adam the wh way he had been dragged into the living
room.

“Adam, you’ve been with me for a decade, and I normally treat your well. If it weren’t for me back then,
you would have been beaten to
death on the streets long ago.”
Ryan sat down leisurely on the chair that Yasmin had brought over. Is this how you repay me? By
pretending to be loyal in front of me but fawning all over my sister behind my back? You’re pretty good

ying the double agent, I see.”
“M-Ms. Zoe… Help me…
Now that things hade to this point, Adam had no choice but to beg Zoe for help.
Zoe hurriedly turned away. She nearly wanted to puke at the sight of his face, which had been beaten
beyond recognition.
“Yasmin, you know the rules.” Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly before slowly taking a puff of his
cigarette.
“Yes, Mr. Hoffman.”
Yasmin walked up to Adam with an indifferent expression and leaned down to grip his jaw with her left
hand.
Zoe covered her face with her hands and screamed in shock before
fainting.
After that night, there was no more news about Justin.
Three nights in a row, Be had nightmares, and every single
them had to do with Justin.
Although they said that dreams were often the opposite of reality,
those dreams were too realistic.
No matter how she thought about the pool of blood at Christopher Iverson’s doorstep, she felt like
something was off.
“Be, these are the meds for the second course of treatment.”
Chopp!
M knocked on the door and entered the room to ce the
medication in front of Be.
Be was packing her things in preparation to go back to Savrow. She hurriedly put down what she
was holding and picked up the bottle of medicine happily. “Thank you, Aunt M.”
“What are you thanking me for? As long as it’s something our dear Be wants, I’ll try my best to satisfy
you.”
M lovingly stroked Be’s beautiful hair before suddenly asking, ” Oh, right. How’s Justin’s wound?”
“You’re concerned about him?” Be was slightly surprised.
“How is that possible?!”
M hurriedly exined, as if afraid of being tied to that man. “The medication he’s been taking was
developed by my family’s pharmaceuticalpany. Of course, I have to ask how our test subject is
doing. I’m concerned about the side effects of ourpany’s medication.”
When Be heard this, she pursed her lips. A gloom overwhelmed her.
The drug that the Larsons had developed to treat internal organ injuries was actually still in its clinical
trial stage and had not been officiallyunched yet.
But for the sake of treating Justin’s injuries, Be could only take the
risk and use it on Justin..
Otherwise, Justin’s condition would have continued to deteriorate,
which would have left permanent after-effects.
“He seemed fine, like he didn’t have any problems. But Aunt M, wwhat are the drug’s side effects?”
M shook her head and sighed. “I don’t know. That’s why I asked h how he was doing. But there are
two things he has to pay extra a attention to while on the drug.”
B Be hurriedly asked, “What is it?”
“The first is to not get injured again because the body needs to rest. AAnother thing is to avoid getting
angry and overly emotional. That wwould be harmful to his body and would even cause his health to
dedeteriorate further.”
BBe’s breath hitched, and she frowned slightly.
AAt the thought of that pool of blood, her heart began to twinge with
parain.
