Chapter 254 Jane's Scheme
He picked up the discarded pillow and limped toward the back door.
Jane's expression began to show signs of nervousness.
She bit her lip and continued to provoke him, "Zachary, how dare you lay a hand on me? Are you willing to gamble with your mother's life? Don't forget. I still have your mother under my control. If I decide to make her vanish, she'll be in the hands of your creditors before you know it. Will they show her mercy?"
There was a hint of defiance in her eyes. One of her hands was on the back door handle, lightly pressing it.
Zachary's complexion visibly worsened, and his breathing became heavier with anger.
"You despicable woman. We'll go down together. How dare you threaten me?"
His expression was more of determination and ruthlessness. A dangerous glint of murder flickered in his eyes.
The hand holding the pillow tightened, and the veins on it protruded.
Then, he strode forward even more decisively.
The next moment, Jane suddenly opened the door and stepped back onto the corridor outside.
Zachary didn't anticipate her sudden action. He chased after her, relishing in the satisfaction of seeing her fear.
"Isn't the wretched woman afraid now?" Zachary sneered.
His eyes filled with deadly intent as he seized her arm and forcefully threw her to the ground.
Suddenly, Jane screamed terrifyingly, "Help! Please let me go! Don't kill me!"
Her scream alerted the bodyguards nearby.
Two bodyguards quickly entered the room, their expressions terrified as they took in the situation.
Zachary was taken aback. He tightened his grip on Jane's neck and lifted her, using her as a shield.
Zachary backed away while approaching the railing.
He demanded, "Stay away! I have something to say to Mr. Patterson. I want to see him!"
Jane desperately shook her head at them, tears brimming in her eyes. She tried maintaining her composure as she spoke urgently, "Listen, don't believe him. He confessed to intentionally hurting Ms. Graves and planned to harm Mr. Patterson. It's all part of a scheme!"
Zachary grew infuriated and tightened his grip on her neck.
"You bitch!"
