Chapter 525 Attempted Suicide
John and Nina rolled on the carpet for a while as they enjoyed every moment of their bodies against
each other. As things started heating up, Nina''s phone rang.
They didn''t pay any attention to it and let it continue to ring.
Whoever was calling was as persistent as ever. They called again and again, not letting the phone rest
for a second.
John couldn''t bear the repetitive racket anymore so he had no choice but to pick up the phone. He
looked at the phone and saw that it was Vicente. He immediately regretted not strangling her just now.
''First Demi, then Vicente, why are they all trying to ruin our time together? I can''t even take off my
pants without them causing some kind of distraction.
Is it that difficult to be left alone?'' Although he was in a seething rage, he knew that she was probably
calling about something urgent.
John reluctantly looked at the phone again while he held Nina in his arms.
They sat on the sofa and John finally answered.
Vicente''s frantic voice red through the phone as she said, "Nina, Demi tried tomit suicide. Go
and see what''s happening in the basement. I won''t be able to get there fast enough."
"Suicide?" Nina said feebly while sitting up straight in John''s arms.
Vicente sensed something wrong after hearing her voice and asked, "What''s wrong with you, Nina?
Why do you sound so weak? What happened?"
"Don''t worry about that. We''ll go to the basement and check. I''m hanging up," John barked coldly.
He huffed and puffed as he hung up the phone the second he finished speaking.
He put Nina down and said softly, "Just wait here. I''ll bring you a cheongsam."
"Okay." With her cheeks still flushed, Nina sat obediently on the sofa and waited for him.
John came back and wanted to dress her himself, but was only met with Nina''s red face. She took the
cheongsam and quickly went to change in a more secluded spot.
The cheongsam covered the hickeys on her neck, and revealed her fair arms. It had a moderate slit on
the side that exposed her smooth straight legs.
Her waist was still thin but the cheongsam hugged against her tightly anyway. Now that she had given
birth, the cheongsam could fit her properly again.
She donned a pair of high heels that only highlighted her elegance. Nina strode forward and with every
noble step, only making John lust after her even more.
He couldn''t take his eyes off her.
A smile yfully danced on her lips as she stopped in front of him. "I''m not going to run away. You can
see me every day for the rest of our lives. We just have to solve this problem with Demi first."
"Okay." John''s Adam''s apple bobbed as he tried topose himself.
The basement was very dark with only a little lighting through the small ss window on the side
of the room. The dpidated fan squeaked as it rotated above her head. Demiy on the cold floor,
As soon as Nina came in, she said, "It''s freezing in here. If the summer heat ever gets too much to
handle, it looks like we can alwayse and cool off down here."
John smirked and nced at her.
They took a few steps forward and arrived at the basement door where Demi was locked inside.
The guard opened the door and after they entered, he shut it behind them.
Demi''s left eye was covered with gauze, and her right eye stared at the fan. She couldn''t even muster
up the spirit to blink most of the time.
Her head seemed to suffer the same treatment. It was wrapped in gauze that were stained with bright
red blood seeping through. She was really in a bad way.
Looking at the wound on Demi''s forehead, Nina smiled and seemed to think of something.
Hearing the chuckle, Demi moved her eyes but then swiftly continued to stare at the fan.
"It''s cold lying on the floor. Get up."
When Nina reached out to help her, Demi sneered, "Your Highness, you don''t have to pretend to be
kind. I won''t tell you anything."
"I think you misunderstood." Nina insisted on pulling her up, but she found herself unable to do it. It was
shocking because Demi barely weighed anything.
She was stunned for a moment.
"Don''t get your hands dirty." John pulled Nina back and then picked Demi up, tossing her onto the chair
with one hand.
John''s voice was enough to make Demi''s face turn. She was furious and instantly stared at him with
nothing but rage filling her eyes.
Seeing John reminded her of her injured eye.
"Sean, I''m going to kill you!" Demi jumped up to her feet with her mouth wide open as she charged at
John.
John kicked her back to the chair. His leather shoe felt like a boulder pressing her down as he stepped
on her.
Demi ground her teeth, her eyes turning blood-red. "Sean, I won''t let you go. Even if I have to die, I''ll
kill you first."
"Demi, save your energy. Maybe you can find a way to escape from here." Nina stepped forward and
asked John to take his foot off their prisoner.
"Humph." Demi sneered. "Escape? No, I don''t want to escape. Just kill me if you want. Even if you
don''t kill me, I''ll find a way to kill myself."
"Well in that case, thank you for easing our nerves. I just have to pry, is Jett really worth it?" Nina asked
her indifferently.
"What does this have to do with Jett? Do you think I work for him?" Demi snorted.
"Don''t you?" Nina stared at her and asked.
Demi said casually, "Then just say yes. It doesn''t matter anyway. I''m in your hands now. You can say
whatever you like."
She was smart. She neither admitted nor denied.
Nina found it very difficult to get a read on this woman so she couldn''t figure out whether she was lying

or not. She paced around the room a couple times and then left.
Before leaving, Nina deliberately ordered the gatekeeper, "If she wants to die, just let her die. All you
need to give her is a ss of water and some bread every day. It doesn''t matter whether she eats or
not."
Demi heard this clearly and pondered about what tricks Nina was going to y.
Nina visited Demi every day like it was a routine. She''d alwayse in, pace around and then leave.
She didn''t talk to her captive all the time. Sometimes she just stared at her for a while and then smiled
mysteriously.
Demi didn''t try to kill herself after that first time. Now her new way to pass the time was going on a
hunger strike. On the second day of Demi''s hunger strike, Nina asked the gatekeeper to not give Demi
any bread. They just give her two sses water every day.
Demi stared nkly at the two sses of water, unable to figure out what they meant.
Vicente was also confused as to what was on Nina''s mind.
She had been busy all day so when the three of them finally got a chance to sit together, she asked,
"Aren''t you afraid that Demi will reallymit suicide? From all the investigating I''ve done, she should
know a lot about Jett. She''s key for me to defeat him."
"She won''tmit suicide," Nina said firmly.
"Why? Since you''re so sure, then why did she try it already? If my men arrived just a littleter, she
might have not survived. She was determined to kill herself so I had to keep her under constant
surveince. We watch over her like hawks so the only way to kill herself is her starving to death,"
Vicente exined.
John asked in a low voice, "How did you men arrive just in time?"
"They were right at the door. They rushed in when they heard themotion," Vicente answered. She
was still confused. "Is there anything wrong with that?"
Nina smiled at John and said, "Look, how smart my children''s father is."
Vicente frowned and scoffed gloomily, "Stay on topic, please. Why are you so sure that she won''t
John wasn''t going to waste time exining, but as soon as he heard Nina''s praise, he was all too
willing.
"She wasn''t trying tomit suicide. She was leading us there on purpose." John raised his chin and
nced at Vicente in disgust.
