"Where the heck is she?" Jason York looked impatient when he saw no one behind the maid. "Tell her to hurry up and make us something to eat. It's rare that Jean feels like eating, so tell her to get cooking!"The maid, Fleur Smith, had just returned from the backyard. She was pale and shaking as she lowered her head and said, "The… the shed in the backyard collapsed. Mrs. York might be in danger…"Jason froze for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. "Well, aren't you a loyal one? What's this? Are you putting on a show together so that I'll sympathize with you?"Get her here before I lose my patience, or she won't be getting any meals for the next three days!"Fleur kept her head low, but her resolve was firm. "Mr. York, I think you should go take a look for yourself," she insisted. "Mrs. York has done a lot for the family. How can you be so cruel...""Are you trying to tell me what to do? I know you're loyal to her, but you're just a servant. You have no right to interfere

The rain felt like knives lashing across my skin. The wind had been fierce.By then, the drugs had taken effect. The pain was excruciating. It gnawed deep down into my bones.I lay in complete darkness. I was helpless and terrified as heat escaped from my body.It turned out that the myth was true—one relived their whole life at death's door.The past began flashing past in my mind's eye.Just before I lost consciousness, I saw a faint light approaching me.Even though I couldn't see who was behind the light, it still gave me hope.I thought that Jason had softened and had decided to bring me back.However, all I got was a dull pain in the back of my head, and I lost consciousness completely.…"Bring her here immediately! And tell her to make us some food before coming here. If she tries any tricks, I'll kill her!" Jason's fury heightened when he saw Fleur still frozen in place.Fleur dropped to her knees and held out her hands. She was showing him a tattered piece of clo

There was a storm raging outside. I would definitely die if Jason threw me out.I kept pleading with him. I had done so much for the York family over the last ten years. I thought he would at least show me some mercy.Unfortunately, he remained ruthless and merciless.He seemed to have forgotten that I was just a normal woman. I wasn't some divine being. I had been drugged, had a fever, and my limbs were broken. I definitely wouldn't survive the storm in this state."Get up!" Jason pulled the white sheet off my body, exposing my bloody corpse.He gagged and was clearly disgusted, but forcefully regained his composure when he saw the servants looking at him. "Stop playing dead! Do you think this will make me forgive you? Jean needs food. Get up and make something for her now!"My body shouldn't be so battered, even if it had been wedged in a crevice.I stared at my corpse and fell into deep thought.When the corpse did not answer Jason, the air turned cold suddenly.Jason's exp

"You better keep your word, Jean. I'm only here with you and involved in this game because you told me you were pregnant with my child," the doctor said."That's enough! If you don't keep playing your part, how are you going to support the child once it's born?" Jean stood up and rested her hand on her slightly swollen belly. There was a greedy glint in her eyes."The Yorks have had it easy for the last ten years. Once we get their secrets, the Sullivans can be just as successful as they are! It's all that woman's fault. She's blocking my way to fortune. Spiritual energy? What rot!" she scoffed. "Remember, you need to dispose of the body properly, or we’ll both be done for!"The doctor nodded fervently. He reached out to caress Jean's belly as well while smiling widely. "Don't worry. I'll handle this perfectly."Soon, York Corporation got into another spot of financial trouble.Without my spiritual energy to help them out, misfortune dawned on the Yorks. It was one thing after ano
