My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1134

Chapter 1134

Murphy pulled a syringe out with his hands trembling, and jammed the tip into an IV bag. Then, the duo rushed out without checking twice. However, they retreated in fear as soon as they had reached the door, as someone had walked in.

"What are you doing here?" Jared appeared as he stared them down.

It seemed like Jared had already identified them, so Castor fumbled, "We're here to see grandpa, but he's already asleep, so we're heading back now."

He immediately tried to leave right after he had completed his sentence.

"Wait a second," Jared said, startling the duo so much that their knees almost buckled.

"What's up?" Castor said, trying to sound as calm as he could.

"Why are you in face masks at night?" Jared asked, sizing them up.

"We caught a cold, and we didn't want to pass it to grandpa," Murphy answered.

"You're both ill?" Jared asked.

"Yeah." They both said, not daring to look at Jared as they were afraid that he would notice something.

"There was a terrorist attack at the stairway moments ago," Jared pointed out. "How did you get in?"

"Well... Nothing really happened when we were coming in," Castor lied.

Jared then walked up to Mr. Johnston Sr.'s bed. "Why is the surveillance camera not working?! What did you do to grandpa?!"

Jared turned and glared at them at once, petrifying them as they thought, 'Sh*t! Jared has found out!'

Then, they slowly turned around and swallowed, as the both of them were on the verge of a panic attack.

The bodyguard grabbed their wrists in an instant, and the syringe fell out from Murphy's grasp, its clinking echoing throughout the room.

Claus picked it up and looked at it. "Have a look at this, Mr. Johnston."

Jared snatched it from Claus and inspected it, before glaring at them. "Why did you do this? Who told you to do this?!"

Both Castor and Murphy dropped to their knees in fear and begged, "We didn't plan this. Our dad ordered us to do this."

'Hah, they're absolute dinguses.' Jared scoffed, bringing their mission to an end.

"Why is Henry doing this?" Jared continued interrogating them.

"He wants to be the chairman of the company, and he didn't want grandpa to displace him after he has woken up," Murphy spilled as he was awash in fear, while Castor kept nudging him to shut him up.

Jared smashed a mug in a rage, which frightened them to the point that they huddled together.

"He actually did this to his family for a mere position in the company?! People like him don't even deserve to live!" Jared yelled, his eyes burning with rage.

"Please check on grandpa. If you don't do anything now, we might run out of time!" Castor reminded Jared as he still had a sliver of humanity left in him.

Jared glanced over at his grandfather. "You can get up now."

Upon hearing that, the person who seemed to be Mr. Johnston Sr. rose and got down from the bed, before he walked up and stood next to Jared.

"Grandpa?! How..." Castor exclaimed in horror as he pointed at the man next to Jared.

"Take your mask off, please," Jared ordered.

The bodyguard smiled as he took his mask off before Castor and Murphy's eyes.
