Chapter 329

Here's the revised translation, with cultural adjustments and context refinements to suit an English-speaking audience:

"Ugh..." Elaine felt like she was drowning. Her nostrils filled with water, and in her frantic struggle, all she inhaled was soapy water.

Whitney felt a surge of satisfaction, her anger boiling over. "How does it feel, huh? Painful? When it comes to reasoning with you, what's the point? Three years ago, when Sammy was born and ended up with asthma, it was your doing. And now, three years later, you cruelly try to kill him again!

If you ever lay a finger on my kids again, I swear, one day I'll skin you alive and drink your blood..."

"You're only doing this because you have no proof against me, right? You can't touch me..." Elaine gasped, mocking her. "Or do you want Ludwik to find out about the other little secret you're hiding? I don't think so. So, you'll just have to swallow your anger, won't you?" "Is that so?" Whitney smirked, flicking a syringe into view. "Swallowing my anger isn't in my vocabulary anymore!"

The needle pointed at Elaine's eyes, getting closer until it was just a millimeter away. Elaine panicked, screaming, "Ludwik, Ludwik, help! Whitney's going to blind me!"

Ludwik had instructed the chef to prepare a nutritious meal for Danny, leaving an extra portion, which he sent to Elaine via a bodyguard.

But the bodyguard, hearing the screams outside the room, immediately turned to fetch Ludwik.

"What's going on?"

Ludwik approached the door, his sharp gaze piercing through the window, his expression darkening instantly.

He burst in, "Whitney!"

His shout momentarily silenced the room.
