Chapter 431

Ever since Ward had met Evadne and Thaddeus, he had practically spent countless nights in insomnia, constantly chewing over the words Evadne had said to him.

That little witch, with her silver tongue, had proposed a deal that was too tempting to resist. Even if it was a sham, he was tempted. But he despised the couple too much. He hated their perfect beauty and their wealth. One was the rising star in Elmsworth’s business world, the other was the brilliantly talented heiress of the city’s richest family.

Just thinking about it was enough to get his blood boiling!

Moreover, he blamed his current predicament on Evadne and Thaddeus! So he harbored a frustrated rage in his heart, wishing that Elspeth could continue to keep them in check from the outside, continue to torment them, even turning this golden couple into a pair of fugitives!

For a few days, Ward’s life in prison wasn’t comfortable, but it was uneventful. However, for the past few days, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched by a pair of sinister eyes, making his spine tingle, even disturbing his appetite.

Tonight, he lay on the dirty smelly bed, still feeling a chill run through his body, tossing and turning.

Just as he was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, very close! The sound was very faint, and if it wasn’t for his years of mercenary experience, anyone would have missed it!

Just as Ward was about to get up, he felt a cold breeze from behind him. He hastily turned over, but it was already too late!

“Ugh!”

In the next moment, an intense, terrifying pain spread throughout his body!

In the darkness, he saw a man in the same cell stabbing a sharpened toothbrush handle into his neck. He stared in terror, and could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his throat.

“Die.”

The man said just the word, and viciously pushed the toothbrush deeper.

Ward was shocked to the core, clutching the man’s arm, “Who are you?”

“I have no grudge against you; I’m just a hired hand?“.

A hired hand?! A name flashed through Ward’s mind – Elspeth!

After returning from Country T, Thaddeus didn’t rush back to the group to handle daily affairs, but obediently stayed at home to rest, as per Evadne’s instructions.

Even during the countless nights when Evadne was sound asleep, he would sneak into the study to review documents and handle affairs. Only when the day was about to break, would he sneak back into bed, laying beside the woman who had captured his heart, fenderly kissing her from her forehead all the way down, and only then would he sleep contentedly.
