Chapter 361: CHAPTER 361

“Looks like death isn’t an option.” He smirked, “Then let’s push it to the limit.”

Ignoring Dorothy’s struggles, he swiftly tied her to another chair. “It’s clear the Myers family didn’t waste their time on you, showing such sisterly love for Lily. Let’s see that love in action, not just words.”

Gregory secured the knot and gestured to the medical staff. “What are you waiting for? Get on with it.”

“Mom! Mom!!” Dorothy’s pleas for help were heart–wrenching!

Susan was desperate to intervene but got blocked by Gregory’s associates at the door.

There was no way in, no way out.

It was a showdown of who was crazier and who was more ruthless.

Her voice trembling with fear, Susan grabbed Ramona’s arm, “Please… talk some sense into Gregory. He listens to you! It will end badly for Dorothy…”

“Didn’t you hear the doctor?” Ramona sat down calmly, “She won’t die from this. It’s far less severe than what Jane went through.”

“Mom! Help!” As the nurse cleaned the skin with iodine, Dorothy’s screams echoed through the room.

Gregory looked away, pulling me aside to leave.

Seeing the nurse ready the blood draw kit, Susan lost it, lunging at me, only to be kicked to the ground by Gregory!

“Don’t play the hypocrite with me.” Gregory’s tone was cold and measured, “Susan, I’ve warned you not to test my patience. Since talking won’t help, you need to learn the hard way. What’s the rush? Is a foster daughter more important to you than your own?”

“You scoundrel!” Suddenly, a middle–aged man appeared, clearly having rushed from afar. He bore a resemblance to Gregory but had an air of worldly wisdom. “Who taught you to be so lawless?”

He helped Susan stand up, turning his anger toward Gregory, “Apologies to Susan! I’ve heard all about it on my way here. Are you willing to sever centuries of friendship between the Ford and the Myers families over this outsider?”

Gregory’s expression turned colder. “She’s not an outsider. She has a name, Jane Webster.”

“I don’t care what her name is,” Klein’s authority was palpable. “You’ve been spoiled by your grandparents, thinking you’re above everyone else! Choose this girl, and you can forget ever being part of the Ford family again.”

Gregory chuckled. “Did your mistress have another son?”

Klein raised his hand to slap him, but Gregory dodged.

Unable to vent his frustration, Klein snapped, “What are you thinking? The family has been pushing you to marry for years, and you wait for Lilliana to return. Now that she’s back, what’s your plan? Marry this woman?”

“What if I said yes?” Usually indifferent, Gregory was visibly agitated, yet his face remained expressionless.

His defiance only fueled Klein’s anger. “You should know I have a hundred ways to make her disappear! Drop this nonsense. Let the doctor take her blood and save Lilliana.”

“The big guns are out in Vista Town, Mr. Ford!” With York by his side, Bryant approached with an icy demeanor. “Since when can you threaten my wife’s life so freely? Has this town lost all its laws? And who is the precious gem that requires my wife’s life for their salvation?”
