After saying that, she covered Peytonâs mouth and nose with a wet towel, preventing her from making
any sound.
Peyton desperately twisted his body, using both hands and feet, causing the iron chains to clank loudly.
She didnât want to die yet. She still had so many things to do.
However, her struggle was in vain, even though her wrists and ankles were rubbed raw, she couldnât
break free from the shackles of the iron chains.
âPeyton, donât meet him in the next life.â
Peyton shook his head frantically and struggled incessantly.
âIt didnât hurt, and it ended quickly.â
A tear slid from the corner of Peytonâs eye, but the woman paid no attention.
Peyton could only watch as the needle got closer and closer to her.
The injection was about to be administered into the skin when the womanâs phone inappropriately rang.
The woman initially didnât want to pay attention, but the ringtone annoyed her.
âWhat are you doing? I am busy,â she said impatiently.
Her expression changed dramatically in the next second, and she stopped the needle that was about to
pierce Peytonâs skin.
âWhat? How did they find out! Retreat, donât engage in direct
confrontation with them!â
After hanging up the phone, she repositioned the needle and coldly glanced at Peyton, her deep and
haunting pupils filled with hatred towards her.
âGoodbye!â
Peyton had already felt the needle point touch the skin, about to push forward, when the door was
suddenly kicked open.
It was her assistant who appeared with a panicked expression.
âOh no, the base suffered heavy losses. I heard that Leo has already left the base to settle the score
with him, you know, Leo wouldnât miss such a good opportunity.â
âDid he come in person?â
âWell, he was the leader.â
âDamn it.â
The woman cursed lightly and, with no time to estimate Peyton, quickly turned around and left.
Peyton was already scared to the point that his whole body was covered in sweat, and when the cold
wind blew, his body became even colder.
At this moment, she did not have the joy of escaping alive, instead her mind was filled with the names
of people mentioned by Marlie.
Peyton thought, âLeo.â
âIs it Leo who could perform surgery on dad?â
âKevin clearly told me that Leo had already left for the sea island. How could he be in Aelford City?â
âBut since he was in Aelford City, why couldnât he even find Nolan?â
At that moment, Peyton was full of questions.
She looked at the pouring rain outside and thought of the familiar eyes of that woman.
Some things began to take root in her mind, along with those once overlooked details slowly piecing
together.
The truth was just around the corner!
Peyton understood, âSo the person who rushed to the Poisonous Bug base was Nolan, right? If it
wasnât Nolan, why would this woman react
so strongly and even give up on killing me at the last moment?â
âHe personally led the team.
âNolan said that he would personally come to pick me up in a few days.â
So he was preparing to eliminate Poisonous Bug once and for all!
âPrepare for my return.â
How could he possibly expose my whereabouts like this? It was Poisonous Bug who discovered my
location and told Elbert!
âWhat about Nolan? He has put himself in danger now, how is he doing?â
There was lightning and thunder outside.
A dazzling lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed
immediately by a deafening thunder.
Peyton desperately shouted, âHelp, someone, save me!â
The bodyguard dared not be negligent and quickly rushed into the room.
âLet me go!â
âMs. Schmitt, be honest with us, we donât want to make things difficult for you either. Save your energy
and cooperate with us, it will be beneficial for both of us.
âI want to see Elbert!â Peyton spoke up.
Elbert arrived quickly and saw Peyton, whose face was full of tears âPeyton, what happened? Did the
piercing hurt too much? Iâ¦â
He frowned as he caught sight of the scraped skin on Peytonâs wrists and ankles, âI told you to keep an
eye on her, how did she end up like this?â
Peytonâs voice trembled, âElbert, I promised you, I would donate bone marrow to your wife. Help me,
please.â
âPeyton, whatâs wrong with you? You told me that if thereâs anything I can do to help, I will.â
âGo save Nolan quickly, he is in danger.â
