Chapter 1080 I'll Partner up With You

With that, Zephyr turned around and left the room. Maisie, on the other hand, looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

Whatever he does, he always takes me into his consideration. However, there's nothing I can do for him.

Life had been hard for Zephyr over the years. She wished she could have a wholesome life just like the people she had met earlier. The last thing she wanted was to hold her brother back forever.

...

The dungeon's iron gate was opened all of a sudden.

Alexander opened his eyes and saw Owen and his subordinates pushing a pregnant woman into the place.

The woman's eyes were covered, and her mouth was stuffed with a towel. Both her hands were grabbed by two men. She was unable to utter a word or struggle. Only her quivering legs revealed how frightened she was. Alexander was seated on the bed with his legs crossed. Although he remained silent, he paid close attention to them.

Owen took a look at him and nodded at his subordinate, motioning for him to take action.

Following that, the subordinate stepped forward and pulled out the towel from the woman's mouth. Then, he opened the glass bottle's cap and poured the white liquid into her mouth.

Over ten seconds later, the woman started screaming in pain. The moment the men released her, she collapsed to the ground and held her belly while curling up on the floor. "My child! It hurts! Help!"

Soon, her pants were dyed red as blood continued to stream out of her lower body. Moments later, a puddle of blood formed around her.

The woman was in so much pain that she kept tossing around. Her entire body was soaked in blood, but she still cried hysterically, "My child! Please spare my child's life!"

After struggling for about ten minutes, the woman eventually blacked out. The sight was too cruel, so Alexander watched everything with a frown. He knew that even if he had made a move, he wouldn't have managed to change the outcome. However, he still couldn't help blaming himself when he saw how miserable the woman was.

I'll bring those who have harmed you and your child to justice, Alexander secretly swore.

When the woman was finally motionless, Owen contemptuously told his subordinates to get rid of her.

Then, he turned to look at Alexander and said smugly, "How was it? Was the show exciting? The child was supposed to be born in a month, but it became nothing more than a puddle of blood in just ten minutes. Isn't that marvelous?" Although Alexander appeared unperturbed, he was secretly furious.

A nine-month-old fetus was a complete life, but those from Triune didn't bat an eye when they decided to kill it. They were indeed ruthless.

"That's how incredible the drug I have." Owen fished out another identical glass bottle from his pocket and pinched it with two fingers. As he showed it to the man, he suggested grimly, "What do you think will happen if I let Anastasia drink it?"

"Are you trying to threaten me? I'm not foolish. If I work with you and deal with Smith Co., I'll have no more support. When you manage to destroy Smith Co., I'll be doomed as well. I'll die either way, so why should I worry too much?" Alexander refused to agree to his request.

Owen was a cautious person. If he got his way too easily, he would grow suspicious. As such, Alexander decided to play along and act like he had no choice. Everyone knew that he was seriously ill. Owen certainly wouldn't miss this chance, so he would naturally threaten him.

"You're indeed a far-sighted person, Johnny. It's no wonder Alexander thinks highly of you." Owen placed his hands behind his back. "Why don't both of us make a concession? You just have to help me snatch back the things those from Smith Co. have taken away from me. In return, you, Anastasia, and her child will stay alive. What do you say?"

Without responding to him, Alexander pretended to be hesitant.

"Think it over. My patience is running out. You only have one chance. If you turn me down, I'll bring this glass bottle to Anastasia's room," Owen warned in a gloomy voice.

It's about time.

"Alright," Alexander replied. "I'll partner up with you, but the prerequisite is that I have to personally ensure the child's safety every day."

"No problem." Owen directly agreed to it, but he had already come up with an excuse to turn him down the next day.

After all, one concession would lead to another. Since he had a way to threaten Johnny, he could achieve his goal easily. "Alright. You should show me some sincerity now." Owen could no longer wait to deal a heavy blow to Smith Co.. Alexander sighed and took out the bait he had prepared. "They have a bank account in Switzerland..."

Elise lay down on the bed after lunch. Since she got pregnant, she always felt sleepy. As such, she decided to get some rest.

Alexander had successfully snuck into this place, so she no longer had to do anything. The most important task for her was to protect her child.

A moment later, a young woman and an old lady entered the room.

The old lady was Emily Palmer, who was responsible for cleaning up the room and sending food to Elise for the past few days. Although she was hardworking, she rarely said anything. As for the young woman, it was Elise's first time seeing her, so she didn't know her.

She initially decided to ignore them, but Emily stood beside her bed and waited. This kind of silent urging unnerved her, so she sat up on the bed slowly.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Since you're awake, please get out of bed and follow us." Just like Owen, Emily had been polite to her.

Those from Triune loved putting up an act. That was because if they didn't conceal anything, they would reveal their hideous nature. Their appearances were just as evil as their hearts. "Where are you taking me?"

"This place isn't suitable for a pregnant woman like you. Mr. Morgan has found you a better place. Just come with us, Mrs. Griffith." Emily wasn't willing to reveal much.

As 'Anastasia', Elise naturally couldn't resist. She packed up her stuff and left with them. After the three of them were seated in the same van, they set off on an unknown journey.

All the windows were shaded, so they couldn't see anything outside. As such, they didn't cover Elise's eyes this time.

Elise was seated on her own while Emily and the young woman were across from her. Emily had closed her eyes, but the young woman beside her wasn't so sedate. She kept looking around anxiously. Whenever she met Elise's eyes, she would immediately look away as though the woman was some sort of filthy stuff.

I'm the one in captivity, okay?!

It seemed that it would take them quite a while to reach the destination. After giving it some thought, Elise decided to glean some information from them.

"Ms. Palmer, is she your granddaughter?" she asked.

However, Emily's eyes remained closed as she didn't seem to have the intention of responding to her. Just as Elise was ready to change the topic, Emily uttered, "I'm an old woman with no children of my own, so no one in the world will make me worried. Given my age, I understand what people think very well. If you don't mind wasting your breath, I'm more than happy to chat with you."

She hinted that it was impossible to glean any information from her.

Therefore, Elise fell silent meekly and decided to play it by ear when they arrived.
