Shadow clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with pain.

Before this, he had repeatedly warned Shadow to stop at a suitable moment, otherwise, if it reached a point of no return, her ultimate fate would only be a dead end.

The young master was ruthless towards enemies, even more so towards those who betrayed him.

Moreover, everyone that Shadow harmed was someone the young master cared about the most, death would ultimately become her destiny.

Assassination order...

This order, unless committing heinous crimes, the young master would not easily issue.

"I have given her countless chances, but she does not know how to restrain herself. She repeatedly challenges me, how can I keep her around!"

Bradley's pupils were bloodshot, exuding a chilling aura.

Just because he doesn’t say something, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know.

Shadow has admired herself since she was young, he knows.

He thought she would let go once she saw that he had found a home, but he did not expect her paranoia to run so deep, ultimately leading her down the path of destruction.

He didn't pay much attention to her previous tricks because he knew Freya had a way to handle them.

But now, she dared to use the method of poisoning, attempting to harm his wife and children, how could he sit back and do nothing!

"Young Master!"

Shadow bent his knee and knelt heavily in front of him, "I know Shadow has committed an unforgivable crime, but, can you please... let her have a complete corpse!"

Once the dark web gets involved, the outcome will inevitably be painful.

Death is one thing, but according to the rules of the dark web, the traitor who has died must also endure the torment of being whipped.

Shadow is after all his sister, he cannot bear to see her not even finding peace in death!

Bradley stared deeply at Shadow for a long time, but never said a word.

Just as Shadow thought he wouldn't agree, he suddenly spoke softly, "If she can stop now, perhaps I will leave her with a complete corpse. But if she refuses to repent, then I will crush her bones and scatter her ashes, never to be reincarnated!"

Upon hearing this, Shadow weakly took a step back.

He said in a sorrowful voice, "I understand..."

Rules are rules, no one can change them.

Moreover, he knew Shadow well. Since she had chosen this irreversible path, there was no turning back midway.

Perhaps, this was her destiny after all.

Bradley watched as Shadow left with a bowed back, the resentment in his eyes deepening.

The thing he hated the most in his life was betrayal. Furthermore, when his loved ones' lives were threatened, if he didn't act this way, how could he avenge his anger?

In the medical room, Freya is having a conversation with Xavier. "Since the surgery, the old man's mental state has been good, but his organs are still slowly failing. If we don't find a treatment method soon, I'm afraid... he won't be able to hold on for long before falling ill."

Slowly failing? Bradley had just come from the study and paused at these words. Freya saw him approaching and turned towards him, saying, "Don't worry, we are already working on it. Even if we can't completely cure the old man's illness, we will try to delay the progression as much as possible."

Bradley held her hand and said gently, "I believe you have a solution, but you are pregnant and need to rest well recently. You must not overwork yourself."

Freya nodded. She wanted to rest properly, but the old man's condition was too special for her to feel at ease without monitoring it constantly. Moreover, she couldn't predict when the illness would strike next and needed to find a medication to control the deterioration before it happened again.

After Bradley spoke, his dark and indifferent gaze turned to Xavier. "I hired you with a high salary to utilize your advanced medical skills to save patients. Yet, you can't even perform a heart repair surgery. Tell me, Doctor, are you too busy with love affairs to neglect your duties or simply incompetent for this position due to poor medical skills?"

Dr. Xavier was inexplicably blamed, feeling helpless as he touched his nose.

It's fine that this man favors his wife, but must he shoulder all the responsibility?

Alright then, he may not be skilled in heart surgery, but he has recently dedicated a lot of effort to his father's illness, spending days without being with Ella. Accusing him of neglecting his duties due to being in love, he denies it.

Freya saw the man accusing Xavier helplessly and chuckled, "This matter is not Doctor's fault. After all, everyone has their own specialty. Doctor is skilled in general surgery, and his knowledge in heart procedures is limited. Moreover, he has helped me a lot recently. I still need to ask him about some Western medicine knowledge that I don't understand."

The man who protects his wife refused to listen to explanations and stubbornly placed all the blame on Xavier.

Doctor couldn't bear it any longer and finally snapped, complaining, "Alright, it's all my fault. I failed to take care of Freya properly. Since Master Bradley thinks my medical skills are inadequate for this position, then find someone better. It's easy come, easy go. I won't earn this money anymore!"

He lost his temper because he felt oppressed!

Why is it that Patrick can spend every day being intimate with Madeline, neglecting his responsibilities without anyone saying a word?

Just because he is relatively weak in traditional Chinese medicine, he is suddenly deemed useless.

Furthermore, after finally finding true love, he is forced to stay in the medical room all day, prescribing medicine and performing surgeries. Which man could tolerate that?

Xavier now misses Ella so much that he really wants to just give up and bring Ella back to have children as soon as possible!

With the money he has earned over the years, he won't be able to spend it all in several lifetimes!

Bradley was taken aback, he never expected Xavier, who always followed orders, to have a temper.

He thought carefully, if Xavier gives up now, won't all the responsibilities fall on Freya in the future?

That won't do, his wife is still pregnant and can't endure any hardship!

"Don't forget, the contract you signed is for life. If you want to quit now, you can hand over all the money you have earned over the years and leave."

Xavier: "......"

This man, when did he become so cunning like a fox!

He even remembered this, keeping accounts so clearly.

"I suddenly forgot, the old man is going to have a check-up later, I'll leave first."

Xavier looked up at the sky and realized that he had to continue with this job until all the money was handed in, otherwise he would end up penniless. As he left dejectedly, Freya felt pity for him.

She couldn't help but feel sorry for her best friend, who had been left alone in the empty house for who knows how many days. She let out a sigh and asked, "Bradley, are you always so strict with your subordinates?"

"No, if he's making you work so hard, then he's in the wrong! In the future, aside from especially urgent matters, let Xavier take care of the rest of the trivial tasks, after all, he's getting paid from your salary!" Bradley replied.

Freya couldn't help but laugh at his teasing, playfully punching him. "I didn't know you could be so scheming sometimes!"

Bradley grabbed her hand and kissed it gently. "Go to the rest area, I have something to tell you."
