Chapter 370

"How dare you hurt my son!" Florence screamed, lunging toward Jack's limp body.

But before she could reach him, Henny's bodyguard grabbed a fistful of her hair and brutally kicked the back of her knees.

Florence crashed to the floor, kneeling painfully, her head twisted back, hair clutched tight in the guard's hand.

"Listen carefully, Florence." Henny glared down at her coldly.

"Your son won't die just yet. But with that kind of bleeding, I'd say he's got maybe half an hour left. Call Sophia right now. If she arrives quickly enough, maybe I'll let Jack live."

"Please, have mercy!" Florence pleaded desperately. "I'll call her immediately!"

Henny gestured to her thug, who released Florence's hair roughly, strands tearing loose and scattering across the floor.

Florence scrambled frantically for her phone, dialing Sophia's number with trembling fingers.

"Sophia! Where are you? Come home now-it's an emergency!" Florence's voice shook with panic.

"Jack's hurt badly, we need you here right away!"

She ended the call and turned fearfully back to Henny. "Madam Henny, they're on their way. Please, let me help my son!"

Henny sneered cruelly. "If you're so confident they'll arrive soon, you have nothing to worry about. Your precious Jack will survive, right?"

"Please!" Florence pleaded again, her voice trembling with terror. Jack was fading fast — he might not survive before Sophia returned.

Henny narrowed his eyes, sneering. "Then call her again. This time, sound serious. Convince me she'll come running."

Hands shaking, Florence redialed. Her voice cracked with urgency. "Sophia, please — I'm begging you. Jack is dying. If you don't come now... it'll be too late."

"Alright, alright, I'll be there in five minutes! What's wrong?" Sophia asked urgently.

"Just hurry! I'll explain everything when you get here," Florence said and hung up.

She turned pleadingly to Henny. "Five minutes, she'll be here in five minutes. Please, can I help Jack now?"

Henny's eyes glinted maliciously. "Of course you can. You can start by

experiencing Jack's pain firsthand." She nodded sharply.

The bodyguard stepped forward swiftly and plunged a knife deep into Florence's stomach.

Florence let out an agonized scream, her thoughts spinning wildly.

All she'd ever done was try to be kind-why was this happening?
