Chapter 2 The Nightmare
1026 Words
The car drove smoothly on the road. Ivor seemed to be a little tired. He half-closed his eyes, resting his forehead on his hand as if in meditation.
The warm yellow light shone on his sharp jawline, plating his already handsome face with a layer of gold.
His profile was deep and three-dimensional, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by a sculptor.
His tightly pursed lips revealed his unquestionable authority. Even when he was relaxed, the corners of his mouth, slightly upturned, seemed to declare his control and confidence.
Due to his health, his complexion was slightly pale, but this did not detract from his charm. On the contrary, it added a touch of nobility and coldness to him.
It had to be said that Ivor was extremely handsome. Coupled with his identity as the current head of the Parker Group and his outstanding abilities, he was the dream lover of many girls in Beotorn.
However, in a car accident two years ago, he was critically injured. The doctor tried his best to pull him back from the brink of death, but his legs were left permanently disabled.
Ivor suffered from mania because of this, gradually changing from a myth that people were chasing after to a monster that everyone avoided.
Cassia stared at him for a while. She knew the complexity of this man.
It was indeed her father who had wronged him.
But so what? She had taken care of this man for two years, and she had already repaid what she owed him. Moreover, her father was dead, and it was still unknown whether her father did it or not.
Now, between her and this man, it was just mutual utilization.
What she wanted was more than just simple love.
Before she found out the truth about the Green family's destruction, Cassia didn't dare to entrust her true feelings, especially to such a terrifying man.
Perhaps it was because the air conditioner in the car was too comfortable, or perhaps it was because she had just been drenched in the rain and her body was too tired, Cassia closed her eyes unconsciously and fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, in the
Green villa.
"Cassia, look what I brought you! Your mom is cooking tonight, making your favorite sweet and sour short ribs." Gideon Green raised the dishes in his hand ostentatiously and shook them in front of Cassia.
Tara Green patted Gideon's shoulder reproachfully. "Look at you, showing off.
Cassia, go get cleaned up. Your brother will be back later, and we'll have dinner together."
Cassia happily went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Just as she came out, she found that everything had changed.
It was not the steaming food that greeted her, but a mess.
Her mother was lying on the ground, with scattered sleeping pills beside her.
Cassia's mind went blank for a moment before she reacted.
She hurriedly ran to her mother's side. Perhaps because she was too anxious, she fell to the ground hard.
A piercing pain came from her foot. Cassia wanted to stand up, but she found that she had no strength left. She propped herself up with both
hands and crawled to Tara's side step by step.
It was only a distance of 6 feet, but Cassia felt as if she had crawled for a century.
Tears blurred her vision as Cassia shook Tara's body tremblingly.
"Mom, what happened to you? Wake up! Don't leave me, Mom!
Help! Butler! Call an ambulance!"
Cassia was born into a family of medicine. She had shown extraordinary talent in medicine since she was a child, so she could tell her mother was already dead at once.
But she still refused to believe what she was seeing.
At this moment, the TV in the living room broadcast a merciless female voice. "
A series of car accidents occurred on the Highwin Expressway, and Gideon Green, the CEO of the Green Group, is missing."
"No, impossible. What's going on?" Cassia stood up in disbelief and rushed to the door.
However, at this moment, the door was already surrounded by a large crowd of people, trying to break in.
They held up banners that read, "Gideon, it is only right and proper to pay back debts!"
Seeing Cassia come out, they swarmed forward and threw rotten eggs at her.
A child in the crowd picked up a stone and threw it straight at Cassia.
A sharp pain came from her forehead, and Cassia fainted.
When she woke up again, she had been thrown by the roadside.
She was only wearing a piece of clothing that could barely cover her body, and nothing else.
The Green family was gone, and her brother, Matthew Green, was nowhere to be found. She was the only one left in this world.
It was rumored that the Green couple had committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pressure after the news of their fake medicine was exposed.
And the culprit behind all this was Matthew, the eldest son of the Green family. In order to make huge profits, Matthew had tampered with the products and finally ran away with the money.
She didn't know what had happened, but Ivor was undoubtedly the fastest way to find out the truth.
As the most powerful man in Beotorn, he was the only one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the former Green family.
But now, her strength was far from that of the Parker family. Ivor could not easily agree to help her.
In the pouring rain, she knelt on the ground for four hours before she finally got a glance from the man.
"Ivor, if you are willing to help me, I can cure your disability."
Facing Cassia's sorry state, Ivor said indifferently, looking down at her. "No need.
But your face is rather beautiful.
It's a pity that I won't allow a second her to exist in this world."
Ivor's hand holding the dagger slid across Cassia's face. With a little force, Cassia's face would be ruined.
The knife fell, and Cassia closed her eyes and cried out in pain, "No..."
