Chapter 126

Author: Flower Sock
Anathea hit the floor hard, pain radiating through her body, especially her lower abdomen. But nothing compared to the rage burning inside her.

She glared at Natalie, her eyes red. She looked as though she'd just crawled out of hell.

For a second, Natalie was caught off guard by the intensity in Anathea's expression, but she quickly snapped out of it and chuckled.

"Staring at me as if you want to eat me alive isn't going to help you."

She looked down at Anathea's trembling hand bracing against the floor. Then, with a flash of cruelty in her eyes, she raised her foot, stomping on Anathea's hand.

"Ah!" Anathea winced, her face going pale.

But Natalie didn't stop. She pressed harder, grinding her heel into Anathea's hand until the skin tore and blood started to seep out. Bits of grit and glass ground into the open wound.

Anathea nearly passed out from the pain.

Natalie smirked, clearly still not satisfied. She leaned in close, her voice low and venomous. "Tell you what, Greg actua

  • Why the Crocodile Tears?   Chapter 602

    When Gregory arrived at the Sinclair residence, the entire Sinclair family was already gathered.Eleanor looked at Gregory with smug satisfaction. This time, she was finally going to erase the mistake she had made all those years ago.She should have gotten rid of this ingrate long ago."What did you want to see me about, Grandpa?" Gregory asked calmly."You've got some nerve calling me that." Lennox's once-kind expression was now replaced by cold contempt.He turned to Eleanor. "Tell this bastard the truth about where he came from.""Yes, Lennox."Smiling, Eleanor pulled out a DNA test report and announced, "This here is a DNA test between Gregory and Holden. As you can see, he's not part of this family at all!"A wave of shock rippled through the room."What? How could that be?""No wonder he never looked a thing like Holden! Turns out they're not related!""That means he's got no right to be the head of the Sinclair family! He should give up the seal of the family head ri

    "Um… I'm tired." Anathea quickly buried her face in the covers.If they went for another round, she swore her back would snap in half.Gregory chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "I was just kidding. Get some sleep."Anathea gave a nod, nestled into his chest, and closed her eyes. She slept soundly for the first time in a long while.…Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains and spilled across the bed. Anathea had just lazily stretched when her hand happened to land right on someone's firm abs.A glint of mischief flickered in her eyes. She gave them a good feel, then slowly moved her hand downward.Suddenly, the blankets shifted. Gregory rolled over and pinned her beneath him. His tall frame completely enveloped hers.Meeting his unfathomable gaze, Anathea swallowed hard. "When did you wake up?""Before you did," he said smoothly.So he had been awake the whole time. He pretended to sleep with his shirt conveniently pulled up just to tempt her on purpose.Anathea gl

    Eleanor's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled the man beside her forward. "Greet your grandpa.""Grandpa," the young man said.Lennox narrowed his eyes, taking a good long look at him. "What's your full name?""It's Thomas Morgenstein, Grandpa."Eleanor looked at Lennox, nervously twisting her fingers."From now on, your name is Thomas Sinclair." Lennox nodded.As soon as he said that, a smile finally spread across Eleanor's face.After leading Thomas out of the private chapel, she gave his shoulder an approving pat. "You did well this time."The fact that he'd followed Lennox's orders and gone to Cloudbrook to eliminate Roy meant he wasn't completely useless after all."I'm impressed."But Thomas brushed her hand off. "I'm just taking back what was mine to begin with. Don't flatter yourself. It's got nothing to do with you."Eleanor was stunned for a second, but her smile never faltered. "If you manage to bring Gregory down, your grandpa will make you the new head of the Sinc

    "Wait, please!" Roy panicked, his voice breaking as terror gripped him. "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"But before he could say another word, a sharp bang rang through the air. Blood splattered across Anathea's shirt."Watch out!" Gregory pulled her into his arms.Anathea's eyes widened in shock. Right in front of her, a bullet tore through Roy's chest, leaving a gaping, bloody hole where his heart should've been.He opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but no words came. With his eyes still open, he took his last breath.Anathea could barely breathe."Don't look." Gregory quickly shielded her from the sight.Around them, Gregory's bodyguards surged forward, forming a tight circle around the two of them."Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair, please get into the car now!"Gregory scooped Anathea into his arms and rushed her into the armored vehicle. He felt her trembling and held her even closer. "Annie, it's okay. Don't be scared.""Roy was silenced…" Her lashes fl

    "Someone, please help!" Anathea's voice cracked as she shouted. Tears fell one after another.Her fingers trembled as she stroked Gregory's face, which was quickly losing warmth. Her chest ached like it was being torn in two. "Gregory, you said you wouldn't fall asleep. Come on, open your eyes. Wake up!"But the only answer she got was silence.The last traces of oxygen were vanishing. Dizziness crept in again. This time, Anathea laid her head against Gregory's chest with her arms wrapped tightly around him.Maybe it was her life flashing before her eyes, but in that moment, memories with Gregory started playing in her mind.Though it had been painful at first, Gregory had mended the wounds in her heart little by little.He'd used everything he had—even his life—to make things right.He'd asked Anathea if she still had feelings for him.The truth was that she already knew the answer in those few seconds of silence.Yes, she always had.But she couldn't bring herself to answer

    The oxygen was running out slowly.As the air grew thinner, Anathea's eyes fluttered open. The sight of blood in front of her made her heart skip."Gregory!"Her voice was hoarse and trembling with fear.Gregory had thrown himself forward to shield her again. His back was slammed against the windshield. A stream of bright red blood was spilling out.His eyes were closed, and his breathing was faint.Anathea's eyes burned. She choked out, "Gregory, don't scare me. Wake up. Please wake up…"Tears spilled over uncontrollably and landed on his face.His lashes twitched. Slowly, he opened his eyes. When he saw Anathea's tear-streaked face, he forced a weak smile. "Annie, don't cry. I'm fine…""You're still trying to act tough?" Her voice was thick with tears."Really, I'm fine."Gregory clenched his jaw and reached out to lower her seat. With Anathea leaning back, there was more space for Gregory to move. Carefully, he tried to move off from the shattered glass.But even the sma
