Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 318: Venting Anger for My Husband
Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Venting Anger for My Husband
Serena Summers slowly lifted her cheek from Adrian Holt’s embrace and made a grimace at those men.
"Blah blah blah, that kind of tough talk... you can save it until you get out... Oh right, forgot to remind you, attempting to assassinate the CEO of Corland is no light crime!"
The several well-trained young men had been specially trained and wouldn’t bat an eyelid even in the face of death.
But now, they felt humiliated.
And by a 20-year-old girl, no less.
An indescribable sense of shame surged to their foreheads, they bit down on their teeth in shame and anger, their eyes filled with fury as they glared at Serena.
Serena was not afraid of them, she turned to Adrian Holt and complained, "Honey, he’s being mean to me."
Adrian Holt approached with an indifferent look in his eyes, bent his knee, and delivered a kick to the man who was shouting angrily at Serena.
The man was caught off guard, kicked to the ground, and couldn’t help coughing violently a few times.
Adrian Holt seemed to exert no effort, but in truth, he used his skill to full effect; although he left no marks on the skin, the man’s internal organs felt as though they had been violently shaken.
The man looked up in shock, staring at Adrian Holt in disbelief.
He opened his mouth, about to say something, when he saw Adrian Holt’s towering figure pressing down on him.
Soon after, a slender and pale hand grabbed the collar of his shirt, lifted him from the ground, and pinned him against the wall.
The man’s hands were handcuffed and he was unable to resist.
He breathed with difficulty, his vision going dark, his ears buzzing involuntarily.
Then, he heard a voice as low as a devil’s whisper, "I told you before, none of you are allowed to touch her, eager to rush towards the muzzle of a gun. Heh..."
Upon hearing this, the man’s facial muscles couldn’t help but twitch, a chill ran up his spine and spread to his limbs.
Minister Ray cleared his throat and said, "That’s enough, we still need to bring them back for interrogation. Don’t beat them to death."
Only then did Adrian Holt release the man, returning to Serena’s side.
As he got closer to her, the icy murderous aura on his body dissipated completely, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on Serena.
Serena pulled out another wet wipe from her pocket and handed it to him, "Wipe your hands."
Adrian Holt extended his hand but didn’t take the wet wipe, "You help me wipe it."
"How old are you, still needing someone to take care of you." Serena glanced at him reproachfully, complaining, yet resignedly took his hand and began to wipe it for him.
Adrian Holt looked down, from his angle he could clearly see the beautiful and delicate profile of the girl.
Her long, curly lashes trembled gently, her fair little face slightly puffed up, exuding an indescribable charm and cuteness.
Even something as simple as wiping his hands, she did it with utter concentration, inadvertently making him feel cherished.
Minister Ray and Dean Carter exchanged glances, with helpless expressions in their eyes.
The youth nowadays are ever ready to flaunt their affection.
Unlike their generation, which was much more conservative, not daring to openly hold hands.
After those men were taken away, Minister Ray asked Serena, "You haven’t told us yet, what condition you want to propose."
Serena tilted her head and pondered for a moment, a glimmer of stars flickering in her eyes, "Whatever request I make, you’ll agree?"
Minister Ray: "As long as it doesn’t violate laws, morals, and discipline, just ask. If it’s within my power, I will do my utmost to fulfill it."
Serena’s surgery was a great success, which meant the CEO of Corland owed a favor to Corland, an important bargaining chip.
Serena reined in the smile on her lips and said earnestly, "I would like you to assign someone to protect me and everyone in the Shaw Family."
"What?" Minister Ray looked at Serena in surprise, thinking he had heard wrong.
She had assumed Serena would ask for something related to medicine, as she often heard Dean Carter praising Serena’s exceptional medical talent.
She unexpectedly made a request that was completely irrelevant.
Serena Summers didn’t say a word, just looked at him steadily, with a very firm attitude.
Minister Ray pondered for a long while before asking, "Why make such a request?"
"Minister Ray, you know I might have already offended those planning to assassinate the CEO of Corland. What if they bear a grudge and decide to kill me?"
Minister Ray’s lips twitched. Let alone whether they really came to assassinate the CEO of Corland, even if they did, they probably wouldn’t take a 20-year-old girl seriously.
At this moment, he began to re-evaluate Serena Summers.
She looked sweet, innocent, and lovely, yet the thoughts in her head were inscrutable.
He chuckled softly, shaking his head, "Did you already know that these people were following you, so you purposely used my hand to get rid of them?"
Serena Summers blinked her innocent, sparkling eyes, pretending not to understand what he was talking about.
Minister Ray felt both helpless and amused.
Before leaving, he paused momentarily as he passed by Serena Summers, "Two weeks, no more."
Two weeks? That’s enough!
Serena Summers’ eyes curled into a smile, gratefully saying to Minister Ray, "Thank you, Minister Ray!"
Dean Carter immediately followed behind Minister Ray, seeing him off.
In an instant, only Serena Summers and Adrian Holt remained in the corridor.
Adrian Holt looked at Serena Summers with his eyes lowered, a hint of scrutiny in his gaze, "Did you know someone was watching you all along?"
"Yes." This time, Serena Summers answered very honestly.
In fact, she had been aware that someone had been surveilling her ever since Adrian Holt appeared that day.
She hadn’t taken action earlier because she wanted to know what their intentions were.
More importantly, she wanted to use this as an opportunity to give them a warning.
This was one of the surprises she had prepared for Professor Parker, or rather, for that organization.
The first surprise was naturally Nathaniel Hamilton’s dismissal from the International Hypnotherapy Association.
In the principles of the International Hypnotherapy Association was a rule that no member may use hypnosis to manipulate and control a patient’s mental state as it could cause serious harm to the patient.
Serena Summers hacked into the Association’s main website and uploaded Nathaniel Hamilton’s treatment records in Corland.
Although the treatment records were tampered with, a professional hypnotherapist could spot the clues at a glance.
As expected, the next morning, the Association issued an announcement removing Nathaniel Hamilton from their list.
As for the second gift... those people weren’t actually sent to assassinate the CEO of Corland at all.
But so what? As long as the National Security Department started an investigation, they would find out those people’s identities were suspicious.
Even if they couldn’t trace the organization, it would still cause the organization to suffer damage.
In short, it was retribution.
Who told them to bully her husband and treat him like a portable blood bank?
Adrian Holt helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose, and then ruffled Serena Summers’ fluffy hair with his hand, "Hmm, Serena, you did a great job."
He had not expected the seemingly sweet and obedient girl to be so astute in a critical situation.
He could now imagine Professor Parker’s furious reaction.
Professor Parker, far away in Corland, was woken up by a midnight phone call, hearing the news that the subordinates he had sent were arrested by the National Security Department; he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. frёeωebɳovel.com
