Raina Lowell froze, her eyes fixed on him. Adrian Grant also looked at her, "I’ve had your daughter’s treatment stopped. Such a little thing, without treatment, she’ll naturally die." Raina Lowell suddenly panicked. Her trembling hands seized Adrian Grant’s arm, her eyes stingy with tears. "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? It took you so much effort to find her, how could you watch her die?" He must be lying to her. She had just slapped him once. Raina Lowell fell to her knees with a thud, gripping Adrian Grant tightly, her emotions on the verge of collapsing. "If you’re mad at me for hitting you, could you hit me back? Even if you beat me to death, I accept it, but can you not stop the treatment, Adrian Grant, I’m begging you." Adrian Grant sat on the boss chair with an aristocratic air, without a trace of pity, and shook off her hand. "You should have known the consequences before you acted." If he didn’t give her a warning, she would really be reckless enough to lay hands on even him. If he were in the habit of hitting women, he would have sent her to The King of Hell by now. "I know I was wrong, please don’t stop my daughter’s treatment, please save her, Adrian Grant." Raina Lowell was truly terrified of losing her daughter, prostrating on the ground as she trembled and pleaded with Adrian Grant. Her daughter was still so small, falling into the ocean had already caused her enough suffering; if she left this world because of this man, she would go insane. "Adrian Grant, I’m begging you, don’t let her leave me, don’t hurt her." Raina’s forehead was swollen from all the bowing, praying that this man before her might soften his heart and spare her merely three-year-old daughter. Initially, Adrian Grant only intended to scare her. To let her know that certain actions should not be taken. But at this moment, seeing her on her knees, her voice hoarse from crying, he felt a twinge of reluctance. Unable to bear it, he softened his tone. "Get up, I didn’t have them stop the treatment." Yes, he was just lying to her. Raina Lowell was stunned, the action of bowing halted. She slowly propped herself up, looking at Adrian Grant with eyes full of secret hate, gritting her teeth. But she dared not act out again. She could only suppress the explosive emotions within her and ask in a low voice: "She will be all right, won’t she?" Adrian Grant murmured a ’hmm’, realizing that his previous words might have gone too far, and quickly sought to defuse the situation. "If you ever defy me or lay hands on me again, it won’t be as simple as scaring you."

"As long as you can ensure my daughter’s safe return to me, I will listen to everything you say from now on. Including now, if you give me the divorce agreement, I’ll sign it." She truly didn’t want to maintain a marital relationship with this man for even a moment longer. Being with him meant constantly living in fear. "Now you’re eager again?" Adrian Grant did not look at her, deliberately flipping through the documents on the table, his voice colder than a moment ago. Raina Lowell was disoriented, the broken emotions from the previous moment almost making her lose her balance. She leaned against the desk, her voice still raspy. "I’m sorry, I thought you were deceiving me before, so I purposely didn’t sign. I know you really found my daughter and paid for her treatment." "I’ll always remember your kindness. I also know that I’m not worthy of you, so let’s divorce, right now." However, her straightforwardness actually displeased Adrian Grant. Adrian Grant stood up and grabbed her, pulling her close with an overwhelming presence. "After divorcing me, are you immediately planning to take those two illegitimate children to find Damien Sinclair?" Raina Lowell was no longer able to struggle. Weakly leaning against the man’s chest, her vision became somewhat blurry. "Adrian Grant, actually Damien Sinclair is not the father of the children, and I don’t love Damien Sinclair. I would never go abroad with him." She knew explaining now was useless. He would not believe her. But she didn’t want him to constantly be angry about Damien Sinclair’s existence. "So you have another man?" Adrian Grant regarded this woman with fresh disdain. If the children’s father wasn’t Damien Sinclair, then there must be someone else. How could her life be in such a mess? At only 24 years old, the men she had been with were probably countless even to her. Adrian Grant grew angrier, and disdainfully pushed her away with force. Raina Lowell, completely devoid of strength, was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Just then, Evelyn happened to arrive at the door and saw it. Evelyn, enraged, rushed over and kicked Adrian Grant, then, holding his mother, began to cry with heartache. "Mom, are you alright? Get up, let’s go find the police officer." The police officer could take Sinclair Dad away, surely he could also take this rotten Adrian away. He truly couldn’t bear to let mom stay here suffering any longer. Raina Lowell propped herself up and took her son’s small hand. "Evelyn, mom’s okay." Then she looked over at Adrian Grant, who suddenly lost his temper, and explained: "Whether you believe it or not, I’ve only ever been with you and Evelyn’s father, and Evelyn’s father is..." She wanted to confess the ordeal from four years ago. But before she could speak, Adrian Grant flew into a rage, smashing the fruit platter off the desk. "I don’t want to hear you with any man, get out." Raina Lowell looked at the fruit scattered all over the floor. Afraid of scaring the child, she could only escort him out first. Leaving the study, she could still hear Adrian Grant smashing things. That man was fuming perhaps because she had children with someone else and kept it from him all this time. He wasn’t furious because he cared. "Mom, should we call the police?" Evelyn, seeing mom’s forehead swelling, had eyes full of tears. Raina Lowell shook her head, refusing. "We can’t call the police; they don’t handle things . Moreover, your sister is in Adrian’s hands. We have to please him; only then will he return your sister to us." "But he keeps bullying you. You’re sick, and now he’s hurt you again." This mom really broke his heart. Raina Lowell took her son downstairs, back to the maid’s room where they stayed. "It’s alright. As long as your sister can return to us safely, any suffering mom endures is worth it." She crouched down to stroke his plump little cheek, forcing a smile for comfort. "Evelyn, when sister comes back to us, we’ll leave and go somewhere no one can find us, okay?" Evelyn could only agree to his mother’s plan momentarily. After being cuddled up in bed, he reached for a small notebook nearby. He recorded each time Adrain hurt him and his mom. Someday when he grows up, he will repay it all. Raina Lowell washed up and got into bed. But her heart was always worried for her daughter. Early the next morning, she could only go to Adrian Grant to please him. She went upstairs early to iron the clothes Adrian Grant would wear today, paired outfits, and brought them to his room. Seeing that Adrian Grant was up, she approached directly to help him change. Adrian Grant glanced at her with indifference but didn’t refuse. For some reason, smelling the sweet scent on her, he felt inexplicably calm. Adrian Grant said, "I have a business trip for a week; you’re coming with me."
