Chapter 163

Author: Your Candy
Alan had been waiting a long time. When he saw Cheron wheeled out, the final trace of uncertainty in his heart vanished.

He strode to Bruce's wheelchair with the confidence of a victor, bent slightly, and spoke in a voice meant only for them.

"I heard you tried to play the pity card, hoping your tears would soften Grandpa's heart. Too bad, Bruce. That little performance is over." His tone carried open triumph and ridicule.

A cold curve lifted the corner of his mouth. "Eighteen family elders.

    Fear and panic burrowed into Viper like maggots in bone, devouring his composure and reason.The Valeciels' subordinates would rather die than betray their employers or commit treason. Yet if the video were released and the Valeciels learned that his employer had moved against Isolde, her situation would become dire."Wait." Viper forced the word out, his voice strained and heavy with despair. "I can tell you what you want to know, but in exchange, this must never be made public. No one can ever learn that I tried to assassinate you."He looked up, eyes bloodshot, glaring at Isolde. "Otherwise, we all go down together. My lady won't spare any of you. You and Bruce will die together."The corners of Isolde's mouth lifted slightly. 'It worked.'She masked the smile at once, stopped, and regarded Viper with cool indifference. "Let's hear it."Viper fixed her with a frigid stare. If looks could kill, she would already be in pieces. "It's Miss Seraphina of the Valeciel family who want

    "No." At the mention of Viper, Bruce's expression darkened. He had handled many hardened men under his command, but none had held out this long.Three full days had passed. They had used every brutal method available.Viper, however, seemed like a machine that could not feel pain. He endured every form of torture without fear of life or death, without so much as a flicker of discomfort from start to finish."Alan's side just sent word," Bruce said. "Viper has a young mistress he reveres like a deity. He says she likes me, which is why she moved against you."Bruce's eyes turned cold. "Other than you, no woman has ever come within three steps of me."Isolde smiled faintly. "I know. If a woman that powerful had gotten close to you, I would have noticed before you did."Bruce's expression softened as he regained his composure. "So we start with Viper's employer?"The kidnapping in Karsden used unrest in Faranthia as cover. If you had died, it would have been written off as collater

    Bruce closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and placed his long fingers on her head, pressing gently. "There won't be a next time.""Okay," Isolde agreed obediently. "If I run into danger again, I'll call you immediately, my dear hubby..."His fingers stiffened for a moment, and the tips of his ears turned red. The corners of his mouth, however, lifted despite himself.At a private hospital, outside the VVIP ward…Isolde stood by the door and looked through the glass. Inside, Alan lay motionless on the bed. Without the steady hum of the machines, he would have looked dead.Nash stood beside her, his arm in a cast, his expression mournful. "Mr. Princeton ingested too many toxins, and his internal organs have suffered irreversible damage. Although he survived after taking the antidote, his body will never recover. He'll be plagued by illness and pain for the rest of his life. He'll age prematurely..."Isolde watched Alan, her gaze complicated.He had been her fiance once. Seeing hi

    When Isolde woke and opened her eyes, a familiar ceiling came into view.'Crestmont Estate…' Her heart settled at once.She turned her head and, as expected, saw Bruce.He wore a suit, but his tie was missing and his collar hung rumpled, creased from being tugged at who knew how many times.His handsome face was deathly pale. Dark circles weighed under his eyes, and stubble shadowed his chin, clear signs he had not slept for a long time. Red veins webbed his eyes.Isolde spoke with a pang of heartache, her voice dry. "Hubby..."Bruce's brow drew tight as he looked at her with intense worry. "You're awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere you're uncomfortable?"Isolde checked herself and shook her head. "Just a slight headache. It's probably from sleeping too long."The knot in Bruce's throat finally loosened. Even so, his expression stayed grim.He fixed her with a hard, piercing stare, each word edged with restrained anger. "Why did you let Alan take you away on purpose?"

    But with more than a dozen medicine bottles in hand, it felt like a lottery, and the odds of finding the right one were despairingly low."Mr. Princeton, there's no time left..." Nash urged in a low, steady whisper, "If she dies without treatment, Ms. Vancrest's death will only leave you with more regret."'So the solution is to risk the wrong medicine to avoid regret…' Alan's heart ached, but logic forced his hand. He chose a blue bottle, her favorite color."Isolde... this is your lucky color... You'll still be lucky today, right?"He opened it, and a bitter medicinal scent drifted out.Alan gritted his teeth, made his decision, and poured the contents into his own mouth."Mr. Princeton?!" Nash cried out, his face draining of color. "Why did you take it yourself? That could be poison!"Alan's throat worked as he swallowed. Then he doubled over and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood. Pain tore through his stomach, twisting his features as his body shook uncontrollably."T

    "Let go." Viper's voice turned cold.Alan did not comply. He jerked his head up and drove his forehead into Viper's face.The strike came at close range. Viper failed to evade it completely. His head snapped to the side, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.His eyes hardened.In the next instant, Alan flew backward and crashed into a table across the room.The table shattered. He hit the floor and spat out another mouthful of blood.Viper walked over and looked down at him. "For someone who doesn't love you, is it worth it?"Alan lay on the floor, his entire body aching as if it might come apart. He struggled to lift his head and spotted a black medical kit on a low coffee table near Viper's feet.That was the medical kit that could save Isolde.He did not answer. He braced himself against the floor and forced himself upright, swaying as he stood.Viper raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Few people could still stand after taking one of his critical bl

    Alan had run all over Rosta for Isolde, poured in 150 million dollars, and stayed awake for two days and two nights. Yet this was what he received in return. She treated him with utter coldness.He wanted to question her, but all he could see was her resolute, indifferent back.She crossed the dis

    Just then, the doorbell rang.Bruce was not home. Isolde was alone and too lazy to cook, so she had ordered takeout.She assumed the delivery had arrived. She hurried over and opened the door, only to find Alan standing there.He held an elegant food container. "Isolde, takeout isn't healthy. I s

    Bruce: [The child is not Alan's. A paternity test is useless.]Martin: [Two audio clips from Isolde are not strong enough. Alan is far too cautious, and there is a high chance we will never obtain direct evidence of adultery. (lighting-a-cigarette-in-melancholy.jpg)]Bruce: [If it does not exist,

    "Actually… I do have something…" Isolde spoke slowly as she walked toward Bruce, step by step, her fingers resting casually on the solid arm exposed above the water.The warmth and firmness of his skin made her fingertips burn, as if touched by flame.Instinct told her to pull back, but when the c
