Michelle Frank hadn't even hidden the disappointment in her face when a gut-wrenching scream tore through the air.The entire room went silent. No one dared to move.Moments later, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hall as several bodyguards rushed in, carrying Michelle's son, Garrett Frank.His eyes were shut tight, and one of his arms had turned a deep, ugly shade of purple. The sight made everyone's stomach drop.The hall erupted in panic. Several guests stumbled backward, horrified.The face of Garrett's father, Walter Frank, darkened with rage."What the hell am I paying you idiots for? I told you to guard him closely! How could you let my son get bitten by a damn snake?!"The bodyguards kept their heads down, sweat dripping from their temples. No one dared to speak.Just then, Loretta Huber was pushed to the front."It's not their fault," she said softly. "Garrett told them not to follow too closely. He doesn't like too many people around him."A doctor

Loretta's face went pale. She bit her lip and snapped, her voice suddenly high and sharp, "How is that possible? You must have used some dirty trick, you tramp!"I was about to explain when she screamed and lunged at me, her hand flying up to slap my face.The next moment, a round white furball from the corner shot out like lightning and bit her wrist hard. Loretta screamed and staggered back several steps, collapsing onto the floor.I instinctively reached out to help her up.But then, the front door was kicked open with a bang.Garrett stood in the doorway, his face stone-cold."Rosie, how dare you train that animal to hurt Loretta!"His dark eyes swept over Snowie, then fixed on me, his thin lips a cold line."I told you before, I'll kill anyone who hurts Loretta." He turned to the guards. "Why are you all standing there?"The way he forced me into a corner ripped apart any illusions I had left."Throw that animal in the shredder!"The two men at the door moved at once an

I sat in the backseat and slowly rolled up the window, shutting out the noise of the street.Garrett's payback was only just beginning.The last time he was bitten, he was close to death, but he had taken the antidote in time.Garrett didn't take it seriously. Rather, he thought it just gave Loretta a chance to shine and legally become Mrs. Frank.He imagined he had planned everything perfectly, but he missed the fact that a slow-acting neurotoxin had been lurking inside him. Had he followed the doctor's orders and rested quietly in the hospital, he would have recovered bit by bit.However, Loretta used the "lifesaver" story to climb into the Franks and instantly become Mrs. Frank.No high-society daughter aiming to marry into the Franks would accept that gracefully. Public mockery and private schemes became the new normal.Of course, Garrett wouldn't stand by and watch the woman he loved get bullied. To protect Loretta, he forced himself to go to events and buy everything neede

Loretta clutched her veil tightly, refusing to let anyone near her."Garrett promised to marry me! No one's going to tear us apart!"Her eyes stayed locked on the doors of the banquet hall, full of desperate hope.I just stood there, waiting for everyone to expose her lies, waiting for her to taste the same pain I had suffered in my last life.The next second, a deep voice roared from outside the door."Who gave you permission to touch her?"In an instant, everyone froze in shock.The man who had been lying unconscious in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines just to stay alive, was now striding into the hall with steady steps."Mr. Frank's awake? Wasn't he in a coma this whole time?""I heard Ms. Huber tried all kinds of crazy home remedies. Guess none of those specialists could help, but somehow she did it.""Looks like she really will be Mrs. Frank."A flicker of joy lit up Michelle's face, too obvious to hide.Loretta shoved the bodyguard holding her aside and ran strai

For a second, I just stood there, almost laughing at how ridiculous the whole thing was.Even now, Garrett still thought I had feelings for him.Next to me, Jim calmly showed his cufflinks. The light caught a sharp gold gleam."Mr. Frank," he said coolly, "do you mean this?"He pinched the gold cufflink between his fingers and tilted it under the chandelier, smiling with easy confidence."Rosie picked it out for me herself. Looks good, don't you think?"Garrett froze, his expression cracking, disbelief flooding his eyes."That's impossible! You couldn't have known him that early on. I don't believe you could've moved on from me so fast."He stared at me, stubborn and desperate, still refusing to accept it.I looked down at him, my lips curling slightly."I changed my mind. Letting you die just like that would be too easy. I'd rather watch you rot away, helpless and in agony. That sounds much more satisfying. The poison will stay in your body for the rest of your life. This is
