Chapter 1443

As Phoebe spoke, she wrapped her arms around herself and swayed smugly in front of Neera, her high heels clicking with each step. “From now on, everyone will despise you, loathe you, find you filthy, find you disgusting. I’m curious to see if Avery will still like you as he did before, disregarding everything for you. Oh, by the way, don’t you have a husband? How about you imagine what his expression will be when he finds out? What will he think of you? If your children know how disgraceful you are, will they feel ashamed of you and even wish to sever ties with you? Ha, just thinking about it is so satisfying…”

“Phoebe! You’ve lost your mind! You’re nothing but a lunatic!”

Phoebe laughed defiantly, “Yes, I’ve gone mad. The moment Avery kicked me out of the Cox family, I lost my sanity! The moment I found out that Avery fell in love with you, I was already insane! You took everything from me, which is why I will take everything from you. Your reputation, your innocence, your husband and family, your glory, your splendor… Everything that belongs to you, I will destroy! Neera, you deserve this. You deserve to die!”.

Neera’s temples throbbed rhythmically as she realized it was completely impossible to reason with that madwoman. What should I do? How can I escape? I absolutely refuse to endure such pain again!

As she was frantically pondering how to escape in her mind, Phoebe began to speak leisurely again.

“No, that’s not right. I overestimated your husband’s abilities. I’m afraid he won’t be able to return, nor will he witness your humiliation. What a pity, truly.”

Upon hearing that, Neera held her breathe. “What… What do you mean?”

Phoebe blinked. “Wow, really? Are you still fantasizing that he can rush back to save you? Ha, didn’t I tell you? Until things are settled, the people from Bartitsu Guild won’t let those from the Gordon family step into District Fourteen. As for your husband, he’s been marked for death. After all, as the district president, if you die, he could theoretically take your place. It’s a huge risk. How could Bartitsu Guild possibly leave it unaddressed?”

At that point, she shook her head, looking quite regretful. “That man is truly exceptional. He’s handsome, has a great physique, and a wonderful temperament. Plus, he’s the CEO of Beauvort Group. With such a status, he’s outstanding among his peers. Compared to Avery, he’s in no way inferior. Objectively speaking, he may even be better. I’m really puzzled as to why such a good man would become your lover. What methods did you use to bewitch these two outstanding men? It’s a pity such a great man met a jinx like you. When you meet him on the road to the netherworld, you better apologize to him properly.”

The more Neera listened, the heavier her heart became.

The thought of Bartitsu Guild plotting against Jean was enough to make her feel like she was on collapse. How could this happen? How did things end up like this? Am I dragging him down with me?

on the verge of She dared not imagine the kind of peril he might encounter. Just hearing those words from Phoebe was enough to drive her to the brink of madness.

Her heart was pounding faster and faster as if it was about to leap out of her chest. Fear had a tight grip on her heart. Jean… He must be all right! Please be all right!

As Neera was in a state of panic, Phoebe leisurely admired the former’s pale face, grinning.

“You’re so worried about him, huh? I suggest you save your energy. You’d be better off worrying about what you’re about to face. These people here don’t have compassion for a lady. Soon, it’ll be your turn to taste hardship!” After she finished speaking, Phoebe gave a knowing look to the few people around her, then leisurely turned and walked away.

11:46 Mon, 4 Dec At the warehouse’s entrance, she turned around and smiled triumphantly at Neera. “Neera, enjoy what little time you have left. Once you’re gone, this will be the only memory of you that remains.”

After Phoebe finished speaking, she burst into loud laughter and firmly shut the warehouse door.

The men glanced at each other, then suddenly burst into a sinister, smug laughter.

One of them courteously said to the person in front of him, “Boss, why don’t the rest of us wait while you go ahead and enjoy first?”

The rest of them also joined in the laughter and echoed, “That’s right, the boss goes first. The rest of us will wait here. After you’ve had your fill, then it’s our turn one by one!”

The man known as “Boss” was a guy with a crew cut, and he was stroking his chin and leering at Neera for quite a while. “D*mn, even though this woman’s face is all swollen from being hit, her beauty is still top-notch. Just one glance at me could steal my soul away. Looks like we are in for a treat today, boys!”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Neera trembles uncontrollably all over her body. At that moment, she was isolated and helpless. With her frail body, how could she possibly evade those extremely vicious men?

Her strength she was barely maintaining crumbled to dust at that moment. She was completely enveloped by fear and dread.

Her throat tightened as she told herself to stay calm and not lose her composure. She opened her mouth, feigning tranquility, and asked, “What benefits has Phoebe given you? Is it money? If you want money, I can afford any amount as long as you are willing to let me go. I can pretend that today’s events never happened, and I assure you, I won’t pursue it once I’m out.”

After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

Then, the men suddenly burst into hearty laughter, with some even dramatically clutching their stomachs.

“What’s with this woman? Is she really that naive? Haha, this is too funny. She’s actually delusional enough to negotiate terms with us. Could she have gone mad?”

“This is what we call ‘at the end of one’s tether’. You don’t know jack. She’s trying to bribe us.”

At that moment, the crew-cut man leading the group licked his lips with a wicked grin, He stood there, hands nonchalantly in his pockets, his eyes narrowing slyly as he stared at her like a wolf.

“Money? Ha, once we deal with you, that woman will have plenty of money for us. She’s backed by Bartitsu Guild, and now that you’ye fallen into their hands, you’re as good as dead. Do you think we’d be foolish enough to let go of the money within our grasp and let you go? Once Bartitsu Guild gets rid of you, we’ll be the next ones out of luck. Do you think we’re stupid?”

Neera pursed her lips, her mind racing at full speed.

Her time was running out.

The crew-cut man was getting closer with each stride, all the while removing his coat as he walked.

Neera looked away immediately, her heart pounding rapidly as if it was about to sprint out of her throat…
