Chapter 293 The Monster Beneath the Smile

Zeke slowly raised his hand, reaching toward Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya…

They had wasted all their time on meaningless things, and it had completely ignited his anger. The

monster inside him was on the verge of breaking free.

But in the next second, he suddenly started coughing violently. When he pulled his hand away from his

mouth, it was stained with blood.

“Zeke! Are you okay?”

The three of them were instantly terrified, their expressions changing as they rushed forward to check on him. But Zeke raised a hand to stop them, insisting he was fine and just needed some rest. Then, he

turned and went back to his room.

He was afraid that if he stayed with them any longer, he really wouldn’t be able to stop himself from killing them.

As they stared at the closed bedroom door, all three of them felt that something was wrong.

“Hazel… Is it me, or has Zeke’s changed? He doesn’t feel like the Zeke we used to know anymore…” Anya said softly.

Roxanne nodded in agreement. “I thought so too. He was smiling just now, but for some reason… I was actually scared of him.”

“Don’t overthink it. It’s all because of Evan’s divorce!” Hazel snapped.

In truth, she felt it too-more clearly than anyone else. After all, not long ago, Zeke had grabbed her by the throat as if he really meant to kill her. Even so, she refused to dwell on it. Instead, she pushed all the

blame onto Evan.

Because of Evan’s divorce, they had all been worn out these past few days. Their nerves were shot. Overreacting like this was only natural. And now, all three of the solutions they had come up with had failed, while Zeke’s condition was getting worse by the day. They could see it happening right in front of them, and it was eating them alive.

“So what else can we do? Isn’t the answer right in front of us? The life-saving drug!” Anya suddenly said, as if waking them from a dream. “Roxanne, your family has two of them. Just go ask your grandfather for

one!”

Both Hazel and Roxanne froze.

Compared to searching for the energy drug-which they would still have to track down even if they got information about it-the life-saving drug was a direct solution.

But Roxanne still hesitated. Her family hated her so much now… would they really hand one over?

Seeing her hesitation, Hazel and Anya quickly tried to reassure her. “Roxanne, don’t be afraid. It might be

a simple plan, but it’s the most effective one. If you’re sincere enough, Old Mr. Leighton will soften… We’ll go with you. Zeke too!”

“Exactly. Didn’t your grandfather say it himself? If you agreed to marry Evan, he’d make you the next head of the family. If that promise was broken, he broke it-not you!” Anya added, even trying to reason it out

that way.

Roxanne took a deep breath and gathered her courage. “Alright. I’ll go.”

With that, the three of them brought Zeke back to the Leighton Estate once again.

“What? Roxanne’s back again? And she even brought Carter with her?”

The Leightons weren’t stupid. The moment they saw the three heiresses arrive together with Zeke, they immediately knew they had come for the life-saving drug.

Before Roxanne could even explain their purpose, the villa’s heavy iron gates slammed shut. Guards took their positions at the entrance, cutting them off completely.
