Chapter 1100:

Neglecting his own health could only end one way—sooner or later, something would go wrong.

Wanting to push him further, Lawrence tossed out an even sharper jab.

“Ever thought about pretending you’re terminally ill? I could tell Freya you’re drowning in guilt, not sleeping or eating, and the stress gave you stomach cancer. Maybe your parents would help sell it. Let her believe your last request is to share a few peaceful, meaningful days together, and maybe guilt will drive her back into your life.”

A loud thud echoed as Kristian’s anger finally erupted. He launched a fierce punch at Lawrence.

Prepared for the outburst, Lawrence blocked the blow the instant Kristian’s fist came his way.

“Why hit me? What, you think I’m going to mess this up for you?” Lawrence kept needling Kristian, pressing at every sore spot, hoping to yank those buried emotions to the surface. “Relax—if I fake it right from the start, there won’t be a trace left behind.”

Kristian’s fists curled tightly, knuckles white. “Try anything, and I swear—you’ll burn right alongside Jacob.”

“That mad, huh?” Lawrence teased, lips curled in faint amusement. Kristian’s eyes flashed like sharpened steel. The cold radiating off him hit its icy peak.
