Chapter 152
“Mm.” I paused, then said softly, “I know it all, he told me.”
Simon was visibly relieved.
After following Ferris for so many years, he had long since learned to read his emotional fluctuations. This seemingly cold and domineering man had actually already put me in his heart–it’s just that he would only ever express one part of it, hiding the remaining seven or eight parts in silence and his need for control.
Outside the car window, lights flickered, the city’s night hadn’t yet slept, but I wasn’t sleepy at all, just felt suffocated inside.
Finally arriving at the villa.
Ferris wasn’t back yet. After washing up, I had barely laid down when Adrian’s call came through.
I answered almost immediately.
“I forgot to tell you earlier, I had someone take Drew to see Ashley again.” On the other end, Adrian’s voice was low.
My heart jumped: “What happened? Did he hurt her?”
Was Ashley actually injured?
“You know what?” He laughed coldly, “That woman actually wanted his life. If I hadn’t arranged for people to watch, Drew would have died by her hands today.”
I couldn’t speak for a moment.
Adrian continued: “These past few days, I’ve been having people arrange things step by step, just to let Drew see Ashley’s true face. But he just wouldn’t believe it, today he even went specifically to find her.”
“At first she acted very obedient, comforting him, saying they’d have a good talk. After Drew drank some water, she put sleeping pills in his drink. After he passed out, she turned on all the gas, trying to create the illusion of accidental death.”
My breathing suddenly tightened.
“Fortunately my people arrived in time and dragged him out.”
I was too shocked to speak.
This woman was actually so vicious–appearing gentle and weak on the surface, but capable of such deadly cruelty behind the scenes!

“She was afraid of being exposed, so she hurt herself and called the police saying some crazy person broke into her house trying to harm her.”
I gripped the phone tightly, my fingertips turning white: “She’s insane…”
There was silence on the other end, then Adrian said in a low voice: “Aurora, are you alright?”
I forced myself to calm down: “I’m fine, just didn’t expect she could be so ruthless.”
“She’s an orphan, grew up in various environments. To climb to where she is today, she naturally has some methods.” Adrian’s voice grew colder, “You must be careful with this type of person.”
He paused, then asked tentatively: “Your situation… is it handled?”
I didn’t hide anything: “Mm, it’s almost settled.”
He sighed in relief: “Good. I’ll bring Linus out as soon as possible, and we’ll return to Black Mountain pack.”
But my heart tightened.
Phad recently visited Linus’s sanatorium, heavily guarded, practically like a military base, nothing like a patient
care center.
If Adrian forcibly took him away, he would definitely break with Ferris–I didn’t want him to get hurt for my sake, and I didn’t want him to drag me into more complex confrontations.
“Wait a bit longer, okay?” I said softly, “I’ll find a way to make Ferris release him voluntarily.”
There was silence on the other end.
“Are you worried about me?” His voice lowered.
I didn’t answer, but he already understood.
“Alright.” He finally compromised.
After hanging up, I leaned against the headboard and let out a long breath.
At this time, in a hospital room in another city, Drew had just woken up.
His eyes were hollow, muttering: “For her, I abandoned my fiancée who loved me for eight years, for her, I gave her all my money, for her, I went to harm people… and she actually wanted me dead…”
Adrian stood by the bed, his expression cold.
“So, you regret it now?”

Drew’s gaze was vacant, his teeth clenched: “Of course! I wish I could kill her now!”
Adrian didn’t respond, just turned and left.
Walking out of the room, a row of warriors stood outside the hospital, all bowing to him.
He stood on the balcony, looking into the depths of the night, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
Dane said I had been very close to Ferris lately.
He knew I was acting, but the jealousy and anger in his heart couldn’t be hidden.
How could any man bear to have the woman he liked constantly together with another man?
“If in the end she still chooses Ferris…” he said in a low voice, “I won’t regret it either.”
Liking her was his own choice, no one forced him.
Just then, a black luxury car stopped at the hospital entrance the window slowly rolled down, revealing a man’s
handsome face.
“Get in.” It was Benjamin.
Adrian nodded and got in the car.
Benjamin drove while sighing: “Those recent projects got sabotaged again, all Ferris’s doing behind the scenes.”
“He’s determined to oppose you now.”
Adrian’s expression didn’t change, as if he was already used to it.
“We’ve launched counterattacks, but if the elders in the pack find out, it’ll be trouble.”
Benjamin’s implication was clear–you should let go of that woman.
She’s someone else’s Luna, yet you treasure her like a precious jewel.
Adrian looked at the night scene, tapping the car window with his fingertips, his eyes calm.
She wasn’t someone else’s woman.
She just hadn’t escaped from that man’s grasp yet.
