Chapter 413


    Raymond maintained his calm demeanor, showing no sign of awkwardness despite being exposed.


    “But I’m running out of options.”


    Ang’s voice carried a mix of anger and frustration as she confronted him, “How can you kill people in


    exchange for my life. if you’ve run out of options?”


    Her words resonated within the room, stirring emotions within Pearl. She couldn’t help but feel


    admiration for Ang’spassion, as she herself was willing to give up her blood to save Ang if


    the young woman were suffering from a terminal


    illness.


    “Don’t worry, Ang. Her life isn’t worth yours,” Raymond said as he walked over and gently embraced


    Ang, as if she were a fragile porcin doll. “You want to live a normal life, free from medication,


    right? I promised I would cure you. I won’t allow anything to happen to you.”


    Ang’s tears flowed freely. “But this isn’t what I want. Yes, I want to live normally, but not at the


    expense of another person’s life.”


    “Pearl isn’t healthy and is suffering from a terminal disease. You shouldn’t me yourself,” Raymond


    insisted.


    Ang pushed Raymond away, her voice filled with anger. “Bullsh*t!”


    “Ang, please listen to me…” Raymond began, moving closer to her and gently touching the back of


    her neck. Suddenly, he struck her with force, rendering her unconscious. He then lifted Ang in his


    arms, gazing at her with affection. “You’re too kind, Ang. I must save you at all costs.”


    With Ang in his arms, he left the room, and she never returned.

    Soon, Pearl’s weight reached the suitable level for the surgery. She was given a bath before being


    ced on the surgery table. Her limbs were shackled, rendering herpletely immobile. All she could


    do was wait for a rescue.


    As the anesthesia started to take effect, she watched a fine needle approach her skin. Filled with


    desperation, she closed her eyes, expecting pain.


    However, instead of pain, she heard a strong knock on the door.


    Pearl slowly opened her eyes and saw Richard standing at the door, apanied by a group of


    people. His face was tense, and his gaze emanated suppressed anger.


    “Richard, you’rete,” Raymond, dressed in a loose surgical gown, remarked as he stood in the room


    with a menacing expression. He had taken a scalpel from the doctor and aimed it at Pearl’s throat.


    “I spent a week investigating all 108 of your properties,” Richard replied calmly, though the dark circles


    under his eyes were evident. “But I arrived just in time, didn’t I?” He was gasping as if he had run


    there.


    “Just in time? I don’t think so, and I always get what I want,” Raymond retorted, wearing a sinister smile


    as he pressed the scalpel against Pearl’s throat. “If the surgery fails today, Pearl must die.”


    Richard’s face contorted with anger and sweat began to bead on his forehead. “You’re insane,


    Raymond!”


    “Indeed, I’m insane, but I did it for my beloved. Aren’t you the same?” Raymond sneered. “Ang has


    been suffering from her illness for two years. I finally found a perfect blood match that could help her


    lead a healthy and happy life. But now, because of your love, I have to let Pearl go. Why?”


    Raymond was on the brink of losing control, his eyes filled with bloodlust as he red at Richard. He


    nced at Pearl and realized that the scalpel had grazed her throat, causing her to bleed. “If I let her


    go, what was the point of approaching Pearl for half a month while keeping a low profile?”


    “Raymond, you need to stop this, or you’ll regret it,” Richard warned, casting a quick nce at his


    assistant nearby.


    “What’s there to regret about?” Raymond scoffed andughed recklessly. But his expression changed


    rapidly when he noticed the person standing before him.


    At that moment, Ang, who was supposed to be unconscious, appeared beside Richard surprisingly.
