Chapter 118


    Ignoring the intense pain in his thigh, Josef suddenly lifted his leather shoe, hooked the tip under


    Eleanor’s chin, and forced her to look at him.


    You sneaky woman! I’m like this because of the people you sent after me. Don’t you think I should be


    really grateful to you?*


    Eleanor hadn’t noticed the anger in Josef’s eyes, but now she was forced to look up at him, and she


    instantly saw the fury burning within.


    She was so scared that her breath caught in her throat, but she knew she couldn’t show fear, so she


    clenched her teeth and tried to calm down.


    You must have misunderstood. I never sent anyone to harm you, and I don’t know the masked man


    you’re talking about…”


    Even if Josef thought she sent Mr. Law to hurt him, she couldn’t admit she knew him. And it wasn’t her


    who asked Mr. Law to go after Josef. She only found out from the news the next day.


    Besides, she was also a victim.


    “Don’t know him?”


    Seeing Eleanor y dumb, Josef’s expression darkened.


    “Haha…”

    His sinisterugh gave Eleanor goosebumps.


    She clenched her fists and continued to deny it: “The masked man dared to hurt even you, so he must


    be really powerful. How could someone like me have contact with such a person…”


    Josefughed even more menacingly. “You’re still as persuasive as ever. Almost made me believe you


    again, but this time…


    He paused for a moment, his eyes filled with anger, and he revealed a fierce expression.


    “I’ll never let you off the hook!”


    With that, he violently kicked Eleanor away.


    As she fell, a bodyguard grabbed an iron rod and mmed it hard against Eleanor’s back before she


    can react!


    The pain was unbearable, and cold sweat poured down her body..


    “You despicable woman! It’s one thing to conspire with Mr. Wiseman from the Laurence Group to frame


    me, but then you had someonee after me too! Do you think I’m easy to bully?”


    His face was ruined, his body was crippled, and he had to face a hugepensation im from the


    Laurence Group, all because of her.


    When he woke up from hisa, he learned that his father had been arrested and their family was


    ruined. So he nned to use the contract Eleanor signed with him to revitalize the family!


    But Mr. Wiseman told him that ording to the contract, he had breached penalty use. Not only


    would he fail to get the development rights to the Western City project, but he’d also have to pay the


    Laurence Group a substantial penalty fee.


    He only then discovered the penalty use in the contract: the Caporal Group must not have any


    negative news. If any scandal is exposed, the Caporal Group would have to pay the Laurence Group


    billions in penalty fees..


    It was as if someone had anticipated his imminent bad publicity. They deliberately asked him to revise


    the contract terms and then exposed his scandal, causing him to failpletely and take on a huge


    debt.


    He couldn’t help but suspect that Eleanor and Mr. Wiseman had teamed up to set him up. After all, it


    was Mr. Wiseman who asked him to revise the contract that night!


    But he didn’t know if the masked man was Mr. Wiseman, so he could only test Eleanor’s words.


    “Tell me! Who’s the man behind the mask? Is it Mr. Wiseman?”


    Josef’s icy voice came from above, frightening Eleanor so much that her whole body trembled.


    She didn’t understand why Josef would suspect that the masked man was Mr. Wiseman. Just as she


    was about to ask him, another blow from the iron rod came crashing down.


    The bone–crushing pain rendered her speechless, so she curled up in an attempt to alleviate the


    agony…


    Unable to speak from the pain, Eleanor remained silent. Josef took her silence as a refusal to answer,


    and with a wave, the iron rod struck her back once again.
