Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 299 The Truth is Just Around the Corner 

After saying that, she covered Peyton’s mouth and nose with a wet towel, preventing her from making any sound.

Peyton desperately twisted his body, using both hands and feet, causing the iron chains to clank loudly.

She didn’t want to die yet. She still had so many things to do.

However, her struggle was in vain, even though her wrists and ankles were rubbed raw, she couldn’t break free from the shackles of the iron chains.

“Peyton, don’t meet him in the next life.”

Peyton shook his head frantically and struggled incessantly.

“It didn’t hurt, and it ended quickly.”

A tear slid from the corner of Peyton’s eye, but the woman paid no attention.

Peyton could only watch as the needle got closer and closer to her.

The injection was about to be administered into the skin when the woman’s phone inappropriately rang. The woman initially didn’t want to pay attention, but the ringtone annoyed her.

“What are you doing? I am busy,” she said impatiently.

Her expression changed dramatically in the next second, and she stopped the needle that was about to pierce Peyton’s skin. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“What? How did they find out! Retreat, don’t engage in direct

confrontation with them!”

After hanging up the phone, she repositioned the needle and coldly glanced at Peyton, her deep and haunting pupils filled with hatred towards her.

“Goodbye!”

Peyton had already felt the needle point touch the skin, about to push forward, when the door was suddenly kicked open.

It was her assistant who appeared with a panicked expression.

“Oh no, the base suffered heavy losses. I heard that Leo has already left the base to settle the score with him, you know, Leo wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.”

“Did he come in person?”

“Well, he was the leader.”

“Damn it.”

The woman cursed lightly and, with no time to estimate Peyton, quickly turned around and left.

Peyton was already scared to the point that his whole body was covered in sweat, and when the cold wind blew, his body became even colder.

At this moment, she did not have the joy of escaping alive, instead her mind was filled with the names of people mentioned by Marlie.

Peyton thought, “Leo.”

“Is it Leo who could perform surgery on dad?”

“Kevin clearly told me that Leo had already left for the sea island. How could he be in Aelford City?”

“But since he was in Aelford City, why couldn’t he even find Nolan?”

At that moment, Peyton was full of questions.

She looked at the pouring rain outside and thought of the familiar eyes of that woman.

Some things began to take root in her mind, along with those once overlooked details slowly piecing together.

The truth was just around the corner!

Peyton understood, “So the person who rushed to the Poisonous Bug base was Nolan, right? If it wasn’t Nolan, why would this woman react

so strongly and even give up on killing me at the last moment?”

“He personally led the team.

“Nolan said that he would personally come to pick me up in a few days.”

So he was preparing to eliminate Poisonous Bug once and for all!

“Prepare for my return.”

How could he possibly expose my whereabouts like this? It was Poisonous Bug who discovered my location and told Elbert!

“What about Nolan? He has put himself in danger now, how is he doing?”

There was lightning and thunder outside.

A dazzling lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed

immediately by a deafening thunder.

Peyton desperately shouted, “Help, someone, save me!”

The bodyguard dared not be negligent and quickly rushed into the room.

“Let me go!”

“Ms. Schmitt, be honest with us, we don’t want to make things difficult for you either. Save your energy and cooperate with us, it will be beneficial for both of us.

“I want to see Elbert!” Peyton spoke up.

Elbert arrived quickly and saw Peyton, whose face was full of tears “Peyton, what happened? Did the piercing hurt too much? I…”

He frowned as he caught sight of the scraped skin on Peyton’s wrists and ankles, “I told you to keep an eye on her, how did she end up like this?”

Peyton’s voice trembled, “Elbert, I promised you, I would donate bone marrow to your wife. Help me, please.”

“Peyton, what’s wrong with you? You told me that if there’s anything I can do to help, I will.”

“Go save Nolan quickly, he is in danger.”
