Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 354 A Gift for Her

Nixon narrowed his eyes, studying Rose as if attempting to read her motives. Just like Jonathan's inscrutable thoughts, Rose's intentions proved even more elusive.

"Go on." Nixon was interested. Unable to comprehend her, he hoped to extract some information from Rose to formulate educated guesses.

Furthermore, Rose had already consumed the water he provided. Now weakened, her body drained of blood, she appeared pale and defenseless. Even if she wanted to resist him, she lacked the strength. Nixon lowered his guard. So, when Rose spoke in a weak and low voice, Nixon leaned in closer to hear her.

"Do you know? Jonathan..."

Rose frowned, her breath increasingly unstable, seemingly unable to contain the pain and dizziness.

Nixon was clearly intrigued, sensing that Rose was about to reveal Jonathan's weakness. However, he couldn't make out what she said next.

"What did you say?" Nixon leaned in again toward Rose.

Unbeknownst to him, Rose had discreetly tightened her grip on the piece of metal.

After a brief pause, Rose opened her mouth. Instead of speaking, she swiftly utilized her remaining strength to raise the piece of metal and forcefully thrust it toward Nixon.

A piercing scream resonated throughout the cabin. Nixon lowered his gaze, discovering the metal piece embedded in his calf. Glaring at Rose with a fierce expression, he slowly raised his head. "You bitch!" Rose tricked him! His anger surged amidst the intense pain. Determined, Nixon decided to make Rose suffer a fate worse than death, even though that meant he couldn't use her to get revenge on Jonathan. He had underestimated Rose.

Rage consumed Nixon upon realizing that Rose had it all planned out.

Rose pulled out the metal piece lodged in Nixon's leg, eliciting another wretched scream from him. In the next moment, the metal piece in Rose's hand struck his other foot. Refusing to be at Nixon's mercy, Rose had to save herself, and crippling his ability to walk seemed the best strategy.

With Nixon in pain, Rose had an opportunity. Rose calmly pulled out the metal piece from his other thigh, causing Nixon to scream again. His eyes had turned completely red.

Rose evaded his attack instinctively and retreated backward. Though Rose avoided his grasp, she failed to reclaim the only weapon
