A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 487

Everyone in the room instantly realized what was going on.

It wasn't just them who were terrified of this living Satan; the old lady herself was petrified.

She was wide awake and faking it.

Not wanting to get on Rowan's bad side, they tactfully cleared out to give him space.

Besides, the old lady was very much alive. The doctors had said it was a minor fainting spell, nothing serious.

The inheritance wouldn't fall into Rowan's hands anytime soon anyway.

Surely he couldn't force her to sign away her assets. Paige was far too shrewd for that.

Once the room was empty, save for Rowan and the old lady, he remained in his chair and asked impatiently, "Is there really a need to keep pretending?"

Paige's eyelids fluttered. She knew if she didn't open her eyes, this bastard wouldn't let it go. Deciding to play along, she feigned a weak awakening and looked at him.

"Rowan... you're so busy, why did you come?"

Rowan sneered, completely devoid of any desire to play the dutiful grandson. He didn't even respond.

Seeing her finally awake, he slowly stood up, grabbed the bed remote, and cranked the mattress up, entirely unconcerned about the comfort of a recently unconscious patient.

Startled by the sudden elevation, Paige's head spun for real this time. "W-what are you doing?"

Still silent, Rowan pulled the overbed table over and shoved it in front of her.

The next second, a document was tossed onto the table.

His eyes were ice cold. "While you're still breathing, sign this."

The cover of the document boldly read: "Share Transfer Agreement."
