“Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.” On the other end, Adrian’s voice was firm.
Benjamin stopped persuading. He sighed and changed the subject: “Let me tell you some gossip. Ferris’s little lover got hurt, right? You’d think someone so sharp in business would be better at choosing women. That Ashley… tsk,
what a rotten person.”
The car fell silent for a moment.
“Not interested.” Adrian’s voice was as cold as ice, completely emotionless.
He wasn’t just uninterested, he was completely disdainful.
Benjamin realized he had said the wrong thing.
After all–Ferris had not only chosen Ashley as his lover, but had also made the woman Adrian treasured his
partner.
He quickly changed the subject: “When are you going back?”
“Wait a bit longer.” Adrian looked out the window, his gaze unfathomably deep.
Benjamin fell silent. He knew very well that if Adrian didn’t return, the succession situation at Black Mountain pack would likely shift.
His several brothers were all waiting for opportunities to take advantage, and his hesitation could very well lead to the collapse of the entire game.
But who could persuade Adrian? He never learned how to give up.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Ashley lay on the hospital bed, her neck wrapped in layers of bandages, her entire face frighteningly pale, like a flower about to wither.
“Ferris…” her voice was weak, her eyes full of tears, “I’m so scared… I thought I was really going to die.”
He stood by the bed, expressionless: “Did you find out who did it?”
Abodyguard nearby answered quietly: “We found out. Initially it was one of Miss Ashley’s obsessed admirers who broke into her house, then the people who entered later were Adrian’s men.”

Ashley’s expression changed, her brow furrowing slightly: Adrian’s men? Then… did I do something wrong? But I didn’t… I didn’t harm her, why would he target me?”
As she spoke, a flash of panic crossed her eyes.
Terris didn’t expose her.
He didn’t want to waste energy listening to her performance now–he knew that even if Adrian was determined, Aurora wasn’t the type of woman to waver easily.
“Rest well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
“Ferris!” Ashley called out urgently, “I heard… you haven’t been going to the office these days.”
She hadn’t just heard about it, she also knew he had been staying close to that hateful woman almost constantly.
“Can you stay and keep me company?” Her eyes were pleading, her tone soft, but Ferris coldly refused.
“Me staying here won’t help your condition at all. I’ll arrange for the best doctors to take care of you.”
Ashley wanted to say more, but knowing Ferris hated being pressured, she changed her tone: “Ferris… I just think Adrian wouldn’t want me dead for no reason. I don’t even know him, haven’t even spoken a word to him… don’t
you think it’s strange?”
Ferris’s gaze darkened.
She had indeed made a valid point.
But he didn’t respond, just walked out of the room.
The moment he got in the car, he immediately called Simon: Has Aurora returned to the villa?”
“Yes.” Simon answered with certainty.
Only then did Ferris instruct the driver to head home.
But even so, the car was silent, and his mind was chaotic.
Ashley’s words earlier had stuck in his heart like a thorn–Aurora had been with him these past few days, yet she would rather suspect Adrian of colluding with her than believe he would do such a thing at Aurora’s instigation.
But it was exactly this possibility that made him irritated.
He minded.

He really minded that man constantly hovering around his partner, even knowing many things–before he, the “partner,” did.
He didn’t care about Ashley’s life or death, but he cared about any hint of intimacy between Aurora and another
Finally arriving at the villa.
At first glance, the villa was completely dark, and his heart sank.
He couldn’t even wait for the driver to stop properly, forcefully pushed open the door and got out, striding toward
the entrance.
“If you’ve thought it through, if you leave now, I won’t fulfill ny promise anymore.”
Ferris’s heart felt like it had stopped beating. He hurriedly turned on the lights and rushed toward my room, but when he pushed open the door, it was empty, without that familiar figure.
At this moment, all the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
She had disappeared again?!
How long would she disappear this time?
