Chapter 14 Darlene Stabs Herself

Vivian did not come in. Jax pressed Darlene down on the bed and took her phone.

On the phone screen, the recording was not over yet.

Jax deleted the recording, threw the phone aside, and directly pressed

Darlene’s shoulder.

He whispered, “Even if you tell Avery what happened between Vivian and me, he won’t believe you. Because I will fuck you now.”

Darlene was still wrapped in bandages. With Jax pressing her down, her

hands could not move.

Darlene’s stomach churned violently, and she was filled with despair. She could only turn her head and bite Jax’s arm.

Jax groaned in pain. As soon as he let go, Darlene broke free and ran to the bottom of the bed in a panic. She screamed while raising her hand to touch

the call button on the bed.

Jax grabbed Darlene’s hair and pushed her back onto the bed. “Stop

dreaming. Do you think you can run away? I haven’t had fun in the hospital, so I’ll fuck you today.”

Darlene couldn’t help but throw it out. Her mouth was covered by Jax, but she struggled with all her might.

The door was pushed open. Jax probably didn’t expect Avery to come so quickly. Before Jax could come around, his body had been lifted.

Avery threw a punch straight at Jax’s face, but Jax was completely unprepared. He took a few steps back and crashed into the wall.

Darlene’s clothes on the upper right shoulder were torn open. She stood up

with a pale face and pulled the blanket aside to cover her upper body tightly, shrinking to the corner of the bed.

If Avery hadn’t arrived in time, Jax would have fucked her.

Darlene felt so disgusted and fearful that her eyes turned frighteningly red as she stared at Jax, who was sitting on the ground.

When Jax saw Avery grab a fruit knife from the coffee table and approach

him without saying a word, he was truly flustered. He retreated while

explaining.

“Listen to me, she seduced me. I originally came to find you and thought that you were at Ms. Sheridan’s ward, but I happened to see Darlene fall in the

corridor.

“She said that she could not move, so I helped her come in. But the moment she came in, she begged me to help her leave here. She said she was willing

to do everything, so I…”

Without waiting for Jax to finish, Avery became angry. He directly grabbed

Jax’s collar and dragged him out.

Vivian immediately followed, wanting to stop Avery. “Avery, don’t be rash.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Or perhaps, could it be that Mr. Bullock got drunk?”

As Avery walked out, he glanced at Vivian. “Don’t follow me.”

Vivian unconsciously stopped. Cold sweat seeped out of her hands.

This was the first time Avery had spoken to her so expressionlessly.

She had thought that by calling Avery over and making up a lie, she would be

able to easily push all the blame onto Darlene just as she did before. Then Jax could get away with it.

Avery dragged Jax all the way from the corridor to the fire exit. This was a

blind spot. No surveillance cameras could capture them. Almost no one

would come here.

Avery did not say a single word. He raised his hand to release his tie and threw it on the ground, punching at Jax again and again.

Jax could not dodge in time and almost rolled down the pitch–black corridor. When he reached out to hold the handrail of the corridor, his head was

sweating.

Avery’s hand was covered in blood. When he saw that Jax was covered in blood, he asked, “What? Don’t you dare to fight back?”

Indeed, Jax did not dare to fight back, nor could he fight back.

However, Jax was still unwilling to give up. He mocked, “As your uncle, I won’t fight with my nephew.”

Avery kicked Jax in the chest with a black face. Jax recovered his breath and

spat out another mouthful of blood.

Avery let out a cold laugh, “You can try fighting back. I will let you and your

sister who seduced my father get out of the Gallard family together. Of Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

course, if my father has any objections, I can also let him fuck off.”

Jax was beaten hard. He wanted to retort, but he remained silent.

He knew that Avery was a man of words. Although Jax’s brother–in–law was the chairman of the Gallard Group, he didn’t have real rights.

60% of the Gallard Group’s shares were in Avery’s hands. With the 20% that

Avery had gotten from Darlene, almost the entire Gallard Group was Avery’s.

If Avery wished, he would drive his father out of the company.

In the end, Avery did not beat Jax up again. He asked coldly, “Did you touch Darlene? Or did she seduce you?”

Jax immediately raised his hand and swore, “What kind of place is this hospital? Even if I can’t control myself anymore, I wouldn’t come here at night to fuck a woman, right?

“Besides, it’s not like I can’t find a woman. Why would I force your woman? It was she who seduced me. She said that she wasn’t happy and wanted me to help her leave.”

Seeing that Avery was silent, Jax resolutely continued, “I swear if there is even half a false statement…”

Before he finished speaking, Avery had already left with a sullen expression.

As soon as he left, Jax immediately stopped. “If I lie, just pretend that I didn’t

say anything.”

Darlene was still trembling on the bed when Avery came in.

The back of his hand was still stained with blood. He took a few steps forward

and pulled Darlene off the bed, throwing her onto the sofa.

He leaned down, his eyes bloodshot. “How many men are you planning to seduce in order to run away? How shameless can you be?”

Darlene was pressed down by him. Her whole body trembled even more

violently.

Just now, Jax pressed her like this. That feeling quickly overcame her. The

fear in her eyes continued to expand. She lost control and pushed Avery with all her might.

Avery frowned. “Are you crazy? What? Do you want to act like a fool?”

Darlene’s vision became blurry. The face in front of her changed between Avery and Jax. No matter which one, it made her shudder.

They were all demons. None of them were willing to let her go.

She struggled free from him with all her might and looked at him with red eyes. “What exactly do you want me to do so that you can let me go? Could you please trust me once?”

Avery asked with a gloomy expression on his face. “I saw you flirting with a man. What do you want me to believe?

“The bell is right there. This is your ward. If you were forced, you would have pressed the bell the moment Jax came in, but you allowed him to press you

on the bed.”

He approached Darlene step by step and said in a low voice, “I have warned you many times. I won’t touch dirty things. Don’t always use your disgusting

methods to seduce men…”

Before he finished speaking, Darlene suddenly retreated all the way. She grabbed the fruit knife that Avery had thrown on the ground and then

fiercely pressed it against her own neck.

Her eyes were red, but she laughed, “Avery, it’s been ten years. I’m tired. I’ll give my life to you. Let’s end this between us…‘
