Chapter 273 Bruised and Battered


    ire wasn''t afraid of what Frederick would do to her, but rather what he might do to Antony.


    So much had happened since her release from prison. She had endured all kinds of pain. Frederick had used almost every means avable to him against her. What more could he do?


    But Antony was different. He came from a low-ie family, which was why she had donated a million dors to him when they were in high school.


    Antony had joined the Hiokeeh Group without any background or resources and became a department manager. He must have, gone through extraordinary hardships that most people couldn''t imagine. Yet, Frederick could destroy all of Antony''s efforts and sacrifices with just a word.


    ire really didn''t want to involve innocent people.


    She knew Frederick hated her very much because of Diana.


    He could do whatever he wanted to her; it didn''t matter since she was already bruised and battered. She had lost everything. She had nothing left to lose.


    But Antony.....~~~

    fór Antony.


    She hoped Frederick wouldn''t take his anger out on Antony.


    Frederick''s gaze fell on the hand that ire and Antony had just been holding.


    He didn''t say or do anything, not even greeting them.


    But ire felt inexplicably anxious. Looking into Frederick''s eyes, she felt his gaze was deep, like a vortex, as if to swallow her and Antony up and shred them. For a moment, it seemed everything around them had fallen silent.


    The whole world seemed to consist only of ire, Antony, and


    Frederick.


    "Ms. Prescott? General Hawthorne, this is your fiancée, isn''t it?"


    It wasn''t until Brandon Thompson, next to Frederick, spoke that ire snapped back to reality. Brandon looked at ire with delight.


    A


    "Mr. Thompson, you''re mistaken. My fiancée is on vacation abroad these days."


    At this point, Frederick''s eyes had returned to their usual calm. He smiled as if Brandon had really mistaken someone else for his fiancée.


    Oh, sorry. It seems I really have the wrong person. Let''s go, General Hawthorne."

    Since Frederick said so, Brandon naturally wouldn''t dwell on the topic.


    ire, however, never expected Frederick to say that.


    Frederick and Brandon had been gone for a while, and she was still standing there, lost in thought.


    She suddenly felt ridiculous for thinking Frederick would do something to Antony because of her.


    He didn''t care about her at all.


    The way Frederick casually told Brandon that he had the wrong person was the best proof. "ire, are you alright?"


    Antony saw ire staring in the direction Frederick had left and couldn''t help but cautiously ask.


    "I''m fine. What could be wrong?" ire smiled, seemingly really


    fine.


    But the subtle changes in her expression didn''t escape Antony''s


    notice.


    "ire, I really didn''t expect to run into Frederick here. If because of me, you two..."


    Antony felt a bit self-reproachful. ire turned her head and interrupted him, "You said you were here to help me, right? Since you''re going to help me, you have to help me sessfully coborate with Eclipse Nightclub today. As for Frederick, you Chapter 273 Bruised and Battered


    worry.


    "He doesn''t care about me at all. He just told that person he had


    the wrong person. Okay, let''s discuss the coboration."


    ire''s tone was light, but Antony could hear a sense of loneliness in it.


    At this moment, he felt ire''s back was filled with sorrow, which broke his heart.


    He wanted to rush forward tofort her but didn''t know what


    to say.


    Antony just watched ire''s back, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.

    ''Antony, what are you standing there for? Come on!"


    It wasn''t until ire turned her head and called out to him again that he followed. "Okay."


    Not surprisingly, with Antony''s help, the coboration was sessfully achieved.


    Sam Campbell, the manager of Eclipse Nightclub, readily agreed to the coboration. The weight in ire''s heart was finally lifted.


    Now, she could stay at the Hiokeeh Group.


    Unexpectedly, when ire came back from the restroom, she heard the truth.

    "Who?"N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "The one who came to see Mr. Campbell before, saying he agreed to donate a kidney to his brother."


    "No way, right? He really came to discuss the coboration.


    Is he that desperate, willing to donate a kidney for a coboration!"


    ire was walking out of the restroom with her phone when she overheard these people''s discussions. Her phone dropped to the ground with a thud. Antony? Kidney donation?
