"Hahaha, look at him, all scared and wet himself. Now he’ll definitely tell the truth."
"Lucas Hughes, start from the beginning and tell us everything carefully. If there’s even one lie, we’ll chop off your manhood!"
The two bodyguards laughed hysterically when they saw Lucas Hughes had wet himself out of fear.
"Yes, yes, I’ll definitely tell the truth. I’ll confess everything."
This ti, Lucas Hughes was truly terrified. Of course, he had to tell the truth and didn’t dare utter a single lie.
"Brothers, I honestly know nothing about the plan to harm the Eldest Young Master. I swear it has nothing to do with . The reason I went to Mrs. Johnson to tell her about it is because..."
"I wanted to gain favor, so I could impress Mrs. Johnson. You know, Chloe Simpson was taken hostage by a thug, right?"
"But at first, I was the one who was taken hostage by the thug. Only Chloe and I were present at that ti. I was left with no choice. I was scared to death, so I pushed Chloe out."
"Honestly, I never expected the Eldest Young Master to risk his life to save that woman Chloe. Because of that, didn’t it indirectly lead to the Eldest Young Master getting injured?"
"So, I was afraid Mrs. Johnson would co after , and I had no choice but to hide. Later, I heard the Eldest Young Master was in a coma, and it terrified even more."
"I was so scared Mrs. Johnson would co after , then I overheard Chloe and Emily Sterling’s conversation in the hospital about soone wanting to harm the Eldest Young Master, but I only caught part of it, not the whole story."
"They stopped talking, so I couldn’t hear everything. I’ve been hiding for a while now, taking leave from my work at the hospital. My leave is almost over."
"I had to co out, and that’s why I went to find Mrs. Johnson. In reality, I really don’t know anything; I just overheard so things. Really, that’s all I know, brothers. I’ve already told you everything I know. I beg you, please give a way to survive."
Lucas Hughes was so scared he nearly died from fear, and he didn’t dare to hide anything. He truthfully spilled everything to the two bodyguards.
However, the two bodyguards were completely stunned after they heard everything.
"Damn! Bro, this guy really has no bottom line, he just keeps surprising ."
"Yeah, initially, for money and a job, he sold his wedding night to soone else. Then, for money, he showed bottomless shalessness over and over again."
"And now, so afraid to die, he cos to claim credit for things he knows nothing about. Even though I admit I’m not a good person, I’m utterly defeated by such a cowardly man."
"Even I, a scoundrel, can’t stand listening to this crap. Damn, it’s really too much."
In the end, the two bodyguards couldn’t help but start beating him up.
Lucas Hughes was really beaten up good and proper. By the ti the two bodyguards left, he was almost beyond recognition, even his father wouldn’t recognize him.
After the two bodyguards left, they got into the car and called Gabriella Dyer.
"Ma’am, we’ve confird now that Lucas Hughes, the scoundrel, knows nothing. He just overheard the conversation between Chloe and her mother outside Chloe’s hospital room and rushed to share it with you for credit."
"Scared you’d co after him, he said the thug who injured the Eldest Young Master initially took him hostage. Out of fear for his own life, he pushed Chloe out, leading to the Eldest Young Master getting injured while saving her."
"Terrified you’ll retaliate after investigating this, he rushed to report it to you, but in reality, he knows nothing. After we cleared that up, we decided against doing anything to him."
"Especially now, when things are so tense, if Lucas Hughes were to et an untily end, it might be traced back and be bad for you. He’s not worth it."
After the bodyguards reported to Gabriella Dyer, she sighed in relief.
She initially intended to deal with Lucas Hughes, but hearing the bodyguards’ report, she changed her mind.
As for Lucas Hughes, after the bodyguards left, he finally broke down.
Standing up, he smashed everything in sight, blaming everything on Chloe Simpson.
"Aaaah! I swear, I must get revenge! If I don’t avenge this, I swear I’m not a man! Chloe, all of this is because of you!"
"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this position right now. It was chasing after you back then that injured , leaving impotent."
"If not, I would have grown tired of you long ago, and wouldn’t have married you. If not for marrying you, I wouldn’t have gotten into gambling and wouldn’t have thought of selling you to Mrs. Johnson, then none of this would have happened."
"Chloe, just wait, I won’t let you go!"
Lucas Hughes yelled like a madman, before collapsing painfully to the ground.
anwhile, at the hospital, after completing her conversation with Emily Sterling, Chloe Simpson went to the ICU to care for Alexander Johnson.
At that mont, Old Sir Soren Johnson from the Johnson Family was in the ICU, standing beside Alexander Johnson’s bed.
Upon hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around, saw Chloe, and said coldly, "Miss Simpson, make sure you rember your promise. If my grandson wakes up, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’ll accompany him in death."
"Yes, Old Sir, don’t worry, I’ll keep my word."
Chloe nodded, walked to Alexander Johnson’s bed, glanced at the comatose Alexander, and began attending to him.
Soren Johnson stood there, watching Chloe as she attended to Alexander, moisturizing his lips and tending to him so gently and ticulously.
Seeing how careful, considerate, and gentle Chloe was, Soren finally turned and walked out.
"Alexander Johnson, even though I’m still worried about my mom, there’s nothing I can do now but go along with this. If in the end, I get to die with you, I’d still be happy. You saved my life once; we agreed to live together and die together!"
"I’m sorry for losing my mory and forgetting everything which led to dating and marrying that scoundrel Lucas Hughes. I failed to honor our past, and I’m really sorry, but rest assured, I’ll fulfill my promise to live and die together with you!"
