The ringleader untied the rope around her legs and stared at her. “I’ll take you to the hospital. But remember what you promised.”
“I won’t hold you responsible…” She was in so much pain that she couldn’t even stand. The sound of her breathing was even louder than her words.
Her vision blurred into waves of black once she was in the car. She would have already fainted
if not for her sheer willpower.
Her entire body was soaked in sweat.
On the way, she heard the middle–aged man answering a call. “The person’s already dead. Transfer the money to me first.”
“Don’t worry. You’ll get your share.”
The familiar voice jolted Catherine awake. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
It was Michelle. So it really was her! She wanted her dead.
Meanwhile, Michelle set her phone down and poured a glass of wine before walking toward Harry. “Harry, let’s go home early and rest. You still need to attend my art exhibition tomorrow.”

Her joy lasted barely two minutes before Harry suddenly received a call from the hospital. His expression shifted instantly. He grabbed his car keys and turned around to leave. “Adrian will drive you home. I need to go to the hospital.”
“Harry!” She took a few steps to chase after him, but he was already gone when she looked up again.
She was the only one left in the vast office.
He had left in such a hurry. Something must have happened.
She looked displeased as she left the Zimmerman Group building with her bag. She saw Adrian waiting downstairs and asked casually, “Why did Harry go to the hospital?”
Adrian opened the car door for her. He glanced at her in the rearview mirror. She was expressionless. “Something happened to Mrs. Zimmerman.”
A flicker of triumph flashed in her eyes at his words. She hadn’t expected the news to reach Harry so quickly. She thought it would take until the next morning.
Catherine was still legally his wife. She was dead now. It was natural for him to go and see her one last time.

Catherine was about to die.
Adrian steered the car and softly reminded, “Ms. Stone, Mr. Zimmerman actually cares very much for Mrs. Zimmerman. Besides, they are husband and wife.”
The smile on her face faded. Was he reminding her of her place?
He was merely a lowly assistant. Who was he to tell her what to do?
Her voice was flat, and it even carried a hint of displeasure toward him. “That’s not something you need to concern yourself with. Harry knows what he’s doing.”
Adrian said nothing more and drove her to the hospital.
Michelle shot him a glance and sneered before walking toward Harry.
She found him seated outside the operating room.
The red glowing words filled her with uncontainable joy. The light above the operating room flicked off just as she was about to offer comforting words.
