Jacob Clark calmed down and first scanned the surroundings cautiously, fearing that Enna had a recording device hidden on her phone. Then, he quickly softened his voice, feigning affection and concern, “Enna, what are you talking about? How could I possibly bribe the doctor to do something to your mom? Who’s been filling your head with nonsense?”

Enna had been observing his reaction, and when she saw the wariness in his eyes, she already knew the truth.

It was like a knife twisting in her heart.

Their father-daughter relationship had been cold and distant for over twenty years. She thought at worst, they’d simply be strangers to each other, but the man standing before her wasn’t even human—he was a monster in human skin!

Still, she wanted to ask one more question.

“Why?”

Jacob’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn’t pause, ‘What do you mean, ‘why’? Enna, who has been badmouthing me to you?”

Only he and Juliet Jordan knew about this matter; he hadn’t told anyone else. Could it be that Juliet told Enna?

It didn’t make sense. Juliet was still counting on him to help Gilbert Jordan, so why would she be dragging her feet now?

While his heart raced with fear, his face remained calm, and he spoke gently, “Enna, don’t listen to the nonsense that people from outside are spreading. My company is about to go public. They are just trying to stir up trouble behind my back to break apart our family.”

“Also, Auntie May asked me to beg you to talk to Young Master Lawrence and have him let off President Jordan. Sure, President Jordan made a mistake this time, but Young Master Lawrence has already taught him a lesson. After all, we’re all family. There’s no need to drive someone to a dead-end, don’t you think?” The tone of negotiation in his voice was also accompanied by a hint of decisiveness.

Enna just felt nauseated now!

Incredibly nauseated!

Seeing this man pretending to be a human in front of her made her nauseous!

Not just nauseated, but also feeling sorry for her mom!

She had put her whole life on the line for the wrong person, and it wasn’t even worth a single ‘why’.

Without taking the bait, she gritted her teeth and shouted at Jacob, who was still trying to play the part of the doting father, “Get out!”

Jacob was stunned by her sudden command. He immediately put on a stern face, using their family’s usual tactics, “Enna, who are you talking to? Who taught you to speak to your own father like that?”

“Get out!” Enna didn’t want to hear him call himself ‘Dad’ again. It was disgusting and ironic. Her filial piety of over twenty years felt like a joke. Everyone in that cold house knew the truth, except for her, who kept giving in. What she got in return was these people taking advantage of her feelings!

Jacob’s face darkened even more, as he was about to scold Enna.

Suddenly, the door to the ward was brutally kicked open from the outside.

A man as cold and fierce as death itself walked in, dragging a trembling doctor behind him. His sharp gaze, focused on Jacob, felt like it could tear him apart.

Jacob’s heart turned to ice in an instant, and all the scolding he had in mind was stuck in his throat. He looked at Enna and then at the expressionless man standing there. Even though the man hadn’t said a word, Jacob felt a suffocating pressure. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to say to the person on the bed, “Enna, I’ll come see you another day.”

And then, he made a miserable exit from the ward…

Enna suddenly felt drained, collapsing onto the bed like a soulless doll.

Baron Lawrence let go of the doctor he had dragged along, strode up to her, grabbed her shoulders, and roared, “Enna, are you a pig? I was gone for only ten minutes, and you got yourself into this mess! Do you want to see me suffer and die before you’re happy?
