Chapter 29
“I accept your apology, but it’s Mr. Atlas’ decision that your service is no longer required with the group.
You have been with him for many years, so you should know better than me that no one can change
his mind.” Lianne callously stared at Willow, unsure of the game Willow was playing.
Lianne, you can persuade him to reconsider. He only did it for you.” As if she had lost her mind, Willow
grabbed onto Lianne’s arms.
Willow happened to squeeze on Lianne’s injured arm, and only God knew whether it was intentional
Please, Lianne. I’m begging you. Please help me. Only you can help me. I’m doomed if you can’t help
me plead my case…”
“Please let go, Ms. Spencer. You’re hurting me.” Lianne tried to push Willow away, but no amount of
strength could dissuade the insane.
Willow clung to Lianne and shook her violently I’m not letting you go. I’m done for if I let you go…
“Unhand her!” Zane’s husky voice was suddenly heard.
Loosening her grip in fright, Willow cried out in snot and tears. “Mr. Atlas, I’ve apologized to Lianne.
Please forgive me. Don’t kick me out…”
Zane stepped forward and took a protective stance for Lianne “Pete”
Heeding Zane’s call, Pete sprung up near them and threw the deranged woman over his shoulder
before carrying her away.
Zane looked back at Lianne’s pale and sweaty face
He reached out to wipe her sweat, but his fingers froze just before they came in contact with her
forehead
With her luscious lips moving, Lianne cried in a soft voice. “It hurts…”
Disregarding the boundaries between genders, Zane picked her up. “Dr. Leah!”
Dr. Leah had been there with her medical kit from the start. However, she did not bother the pair since
they seemed to be having a moment.
Zane carried Lianne into the room, and Dr. Leah caught up to them. “Are you alright, Lianne?”
How could she possibly be alright?
The pain was killing her!
Unable to speak due to the pain, Lianne incessantly took deep breaths.
Zane curtly uttered, “What are you standing there for? Go on and examine her wound.”
Lianne had no words
Zane was most reliable when it counted. At least he was not silly to ask if she was doing okay
He settled her on the sofa before holding her up by the shoulders. Sensing her body trembles, he
impatiently shouted, “Hurry up!”
Although Zane was yelling at Dr. Leah, Lianne recoiled in horror. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Dr. Leah commented, “You’re scaring Lianne.”
Zane was rendered speechless.
Lianne wore a jacket over her loose pajamas, so it was easy to remove her outfit
Zane turned his back toward the ladies when Dr. Leah was about to take off Lianne’s clothes Lianne
suddenly took a sharp gasp
He abruptly turned around and saw the blood bleeding out of Lianne’s arm bandages.
The pain painted Lianne’s eyes and nose red. The flush across her skin made her look wretched
Zane wanted to offer her words of comfort, but the words eluded him. In the end, he turned back
around.” My decision to fire Willow has nothing to do with you
Lianne pouted “I’m not foolish like her ”
Willow was foolish to think Zane was sticking up for Lianne, and it was beneath Lianne to believe that
was why Zane fired Willow With a bit of common sense, Willow would have known better
Lianne seemed to have a bad luck streak as she had experienced a chain of unfortunate events.
Zane said, “Even though it hasn’t been long since Willow’s transfer to Weston, she has taken
advantage of her position and gained a significant amount of profit.”
Lianne was at a loss
It explained why the streetlights were uninstalled despite the impending opening ceremony next month.
The hotel’s internal management was also in total chaos. It was a good thing Zane arrived ahead of
schedule and did his own investigation of the truth
Willow looked like an honest person. It was unexpected that she would be so bold as to tempt fate by
stealing from Zane
The last person Willow would want to cross was Zane,
