Chapter 1440


    John stared at me warily. "What do you want to do?"


    I shrugged. "I''m just a woman. What can I do?" I nced at the two men behind him. They brought


    him to the pool and shoved him into the water.


    I watched idly as he struggled to keep afloat, his limbs still tied up and unable to move. I suddenly


    chuckled at this scene.


    After a long time, he stopped sshing about in the water and started to gradually sink to the


    bottom of the pool. Evan, who was standing beside me, spoke. "Mrs. Roberts, he seems to be


    drowning."


    "Alright, go and get him up. Bring a doctor over and nurse him back to consciousness. I want him to


    experience this a few more times, to make sure he never forgets."


    Evan nodded and raised his hand, gesturing for someone to pull John up from the water.


    After the show was over, I had no interest in continuing anymore. I got up to leave, but Hendrix


    followed and stood in front of me, asking, "Where are you going?"


    I was a little tired. I thought about it and said,


    "Let''s rest here for the time being. It will be a while before John wakes up. I''m going to toy with him


    again."


    He frowned slightly but didn''t say anything.


    All of a sudden, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. I was a little puzzled to see Susan here.


    Initially, I didn''t n to meet her here, but since she was already here, there was no point asking her


    to leave.


    I frowned slightly. During the time I was hospitalized, she often visited, but I didn''t pay much


    attention to her. At this time, seeing her appear in front of me, I calmed down and gave her a once


    over.


    How should I put it?


    She seemed to look a little different from the first time I saw her. Back then, her gaze was filled with


    timidness. But now there was a glint of determination in her eyes.


    Looking at her, I was silent for a moment before asking, "What''s the matter?"


    She nced at Hendrix. I was familiar with that look in her eyes. It was a look of surprise, awestruck


    at how good-looking Hendrix was. I''ve long been ustomed to it, and hence I just ignored it


    completely.

    Susan stared at me, thought for a moment and said, "Miss Reid, thank you for saving my life. I will


    forever remember you as my savior. I will repay your kindness."


    I pursed my lips and didn''t say anything. I was just waiting for her to continue.


    Sure enough, after a moment of silence, she resumed, "Miss Reid, regarding my sister, I am very


    grateful to you. I know that your daughter is waiting for her operation, and I heard that you had


    adopted my sister. I hope you can treat her well in the future, and I also hope that my sister will be


    helpful to you."


    Seeing that she was not getting to the main topic, I frowned and pursed my lips. "Actually you can


    just get to the point, don''t waste my time."


    She was taken aback, then took a slight breath and suddenly knelt on the ground. She gazed up at


    me and said, "Miss Reid, I know I shouldn''t bother you, but I have no other choice. I really have no


    one else to rely on except you."


    "Get up and speak normally, you don''t have to kneel!" I didn''t like seeing other people kneeling


    down to beg for help. I wasn''t that shameless.


    She stood up from the ground and said, "After Mr. Roberts had cleared the ce, I discovered that


    my friend had been taken away, probably sold. I''ve gone and asked for help from the police, but it


    was no use. They said that they couldn''t find any record of him at all. But he had been working in


    the Emperor Club for so many years, why would there be no record of him?"
