Why the Crocodile Tears? Chapter 392
So Gregory had found out.A flicker of guilt crossed Anathea's eyes.Yes, that box cutter wasn't real. It was just a plastic toy. She valued her life too much to risk it in a deadly game with him.But now that Gregory had uncovered the truth, she felt exposed and uncertain.She pressed her lips together, and her palms turned sweaty. Yet her gaze stayed firm, almost like she'd accepted whatever came next.It was as if she was silently saying, "Yeah, it's fake. I was bluffing. Now that you've caught me, do what you want."Gregory stared at her for a long moment, then sighed. His voice was rough with a hint of helplessness as he said, "Anathea, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I love you."Anathea froze, a complicated wave of emotion washing over her.Who would have thought those words would come out of Gregory's mouth one day?So many thoughts flooded her mind, but still she said nothing. She looked away, avoiding his gaze.Gregory didn't get an answer. But when he

Gregory tried to take the box cutter from Anathea, but she was on guard. She pressed her pocket down tightly, giving him no chance.He let out a long, quiet sigh.For the first time, the untouchable CEO of Sinclair Group felt utterly defeated.…Anathea finally arrived at Castenea Central Hospital as she wished. She was led to Adam's ward with the help of his attending doctor, Patrick Myers.But just as she was about to go in, Patrick stopped her. "The patient's been given medication and is resting. It's best not to disturb him.""What kind of medication?" Anathea asked anxiously."Just some sedatives and stabilizers. He suffered a severe shock earlier and has been under immense stress. He needs medication to help him rest," Patrick replied. "But don't worry, Mrs. Sinclair. He won't need it for long. He just needs some time to recover.""When will he wake up?" she asked. She just wanted to talk to Adam and hear his voice. That was the only way she could truly feel at peace."H

Anathea stared into Gregory's red-rimmed eyes. She should be the one asking what the hell he wanted. He locked her up at home and took away her phone, severing all her ties to the outside world. What the hell did he want?But none of those questions mattered now. She met Gregory's gaze and said coldly, "I don't want to stay by your side. I don't want to be trapped. I want to stay far away from you."Those words stabbed Gregory's heart like a dagger. It felt far more painful than any wound he'd ever endured."No way!" He ground his teeth. "Don't even think about it!"As Anathea glanced at his expression, she felt intimidated. He looked just like a raging beast right now. His eyes were blazing with bloodlust and menace. It was terrifying.But just as she braced herself for a wild outburst, Gregory swallowed his emotions hard, released her, and pressed the divider between the front and back seats.Then, he gave Dexter a cold command. "Go home."Dexter blinked in surprise.Based on

The sunlight rippling over the river shimmered across the man's body, blurring the line between illusion and reality.But the deafening whir of the helicopter blades snapped Anathea out of her daze.It was Gregory.Even from this distance, she could still feel the overwhelming pressure he projected.He'd come all the way from Syntherra just to drag her back.Anathea frowned. The car had already made it halfway across the bridge, but suddenly she felt the wild urge to turn around.However, there was no turning around on the bridge.Sitting in the car, she felt like she was driving straight into a prison Gregory had set in advance. There was no exit.Hannah hadn't noticed the change in Anathea's expression, but a knot of unease was starting to form in her own gut.Sure enough, as soon as they crossed the bridge, they found several cars completely blocking the road. And to keep them from ramming through again like before, metal spike strips had been laid out across the ground.H

The memory of that day was like a nightmare—one that refused to let Anathea leave.A cold sweat broke out down her back, and her breath caught in her throat.But just as Hannah floored the gas pedal and shot through a busy intersection, a massive truck suddenly pulled out, blocking the two black cars that had been tailing them.Just like that, the pursuers were cut off.The endless white noise in her mind seemed to fade at that very moment.Anathea was stunned. But before she could process what had happened, two white cars appeared at the next intersection, blocking their way forward.It was the four bodyguards.Hannah slammed the brakes and cursed, "Damn it! They caught up already? How the hell did they know where we were going?"Two of the bodyguards approached the car. Their tone was polite but firm. "Mrs. Sinclair, please step out of the vehicle."Anathea's fingers tightened into fists."What now?" Hannah asked, frowning. "Are we actually getting out?""No," Anathea repl

"Congratulations," Adrian said, going over to Gregory. "You're finally getting the position you've been chasing after. It must feel good.""Not really." Gregory's voice was flat.To him, the position as head of the family was just one of many goals on his list. It was nothing he was desperate for or ever longed for.The only thing he'd ever truly longed for was a person."By the way, this shrine is supposed to be quite spiritual. People say any wish made here has a good chance of coming true. Since you're here, why not give it a try?" Dominic suggested."I'll pass," Adrian refused. "Gregory and I are both staunch materialists."But before the words were fully out of his mouth, Gregory had already turned and started walking toward the divine statue.Inside, the soft glow of countless candles filled the space.The divine statue, with its calm and compassionate expression, seemed to quietly watch over the shrine, bathed in the gentle candlelight.Gregory sat down on a bench, hold
