âIâm telling you, if you push me too far, I wonât be the only one who wonât survive!â Dax threatened viciously.
âLet him go! Stop hitting himâ¦â I screamed hysterically as I was pinned to the ground.
Steven was already injured. If Dax kept hitting him, he could die.
Steven spat out blood and stared at Dax with cold eyes.
âStevenâ¦â I cried out his name.
Steven struggled with all his might, but he hadnât regained his strength yet.
He looked at me pitifully. He clenched his fists tightly, desperately trying to regain his strength.
âArenât you quite capable? Huh? Why donât you act tough with me now? Show me!â Dax threw away his cigarette and kicked Steven hard.
I cried and shook my head, looking at Steven with anguish.
âDo you know⦠why Martin bailed you out but didnât let you get close to the Lincoln Group?â
Steven laughed coldly.
His arms were tied up, and the blood on his lips contrasted sharply with his pale face.
âBecause⦠apart from you, he has another illegitimate child. Heâs a promising finance student from the prestigious Huma University, a truly⦠clean and unblemished heir.â Steven laughed cruelly.
Dax had been a pawn that Martin was ready to abandon from the very beginning.
I wasnât very clear about the Lincoln familyâs situation, but Daxâs sudden attack on me and Steven must have been triggered by something.
If it were Martinâs people, it would have been enough to kill me and Steven during the car accident.
There would be no need to capture us.
âThat old fool wants to sacrifice me to save his son. He wants me to bear all the blame alone?â Dax laughed.
Apparently, he already knew that he was the pawn.
âAll of this⦠It was all your calculation, wasnât it? You purposely intensified the conflicts within the Lincoln family, making us help you eliminate James and Ignatius. Then, you watched us tear each other apart.
You were watching the Lincoln family slowly fall into ruin.â
Dax suddenly understood and took a step back, laughing maniacally as he looked at Steven with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He was afraid of Steven?
How was that possible⦠Steven had been wandering all this timeâ¦
Chapte 314 âYou really are a lunaticâ¦â Daxâs eyes filled with fear, gripping the baton in his hand tightly. âAs long as kill you, itâll all be over.â
I looked at Dax in horror, struggling and secretly untying the rope behind me. âDax! Whatâs gotten into you? Heâs been wandering all this time. How could he plot against you? The Lincoln family has done so much evil. Youâre reaping what you sow. Why put the blame on Steven? Donât you dare kill him!â
Dax sneered and glanced at me, walking over to grab my hair. âSince youâre a lunatic⦠I want to see if you have any weaknesses.â
A hint of panic flashed in Stevenâs eyes. He struggled with all his might. âDax! Iâm the one plotting against you and the Lincoln family! Come at me!â
Dax laughed maniacally, perhaps realizing he was driven to a dead end. He couldnât inherit the Lincoln Group and clear his name. He would always be a pawn in Martinâs hand, serving Martinâs illegitimate son forever.
He had to live on the edge every day, risking his life in exchange for the glory of the illegitimate son? Why?
âYou care about her baby, right?â Daxâs baton landed on my stomach.
My breath froze for a moment. I looked at Dax in terror.
Steven struggled frantically, like a caged beast. âDax⦠If you dare touch her, I swear Iâll make you regret being bornâ¦â
Dax raised an eyebrow. âLetâs see what you can do.â
Dax lifted the baton and smashed it hard against my stomach.
âDax!â
Steven went berserk, breaking free from the person restraining him. His pale face was streaked with blood as he punched the person next to him in the face. He looked like a caged beast that had been.
released.
âImpossibleâ¦â Dax still couldnât believe it when Steven punched him in the face.
Steven had been drugged and shouldnât have had the strength to resist or struggle.
I was in so much pain that I couldnât even make a sound. I curled up my body. My forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Tears had unknowingly wet my eyes. I breathed heavily, trying to calm myself down.
I knew⦠I had lost my baby.
