Chapter 337:
“Maybe we should quit pretending. What if I poisoned it?” Ray shot back, his patience gone. He was tired of the pretense.
It was time to face the devil head-on.
Rosa’s expression lit up in surprise as she began to clap. “That’s it. You suck at pretending.”
“Whether you drink the wine or not, you will die today!” he declared with authority, making Rosa burst into a series of laughter.
His face fell in confusion at Rosa’s reaction.
Wasn’t she scared of death? Did she think he was bluffing?
Without sparing another second, he rushed toward her like a predator about to pounce, but just as he did, the door flung open, and a strange man charged in, heading straight for him.
In the nick of time, the man overpowered him, kicking and landing heavy punches with such speed that Ray didn’t have a chance to fight back.
Anger surged within him as Rosa continued to taunt and mock him.
He wanted to prove to her that he wasn’t a weakling, but his strength was no match for the man. Soon, his vision blurred from the relentless punches, and his body grew weaker. Strength failed him, and the only thing left was to lay there, taking the unending punches, screaming in pain.
Ray’s blood stained the floor as he grew weaker, looking as though he might pass out any moment.
“Enough!” Rosa commanded, and the punches stopped immediately.
Ray collapsed to the floor like a sack of cement, coughing weakly, his face blinded by blood.
His lips were torn, his nose broken, his eyes swollen and nearly closed. He coughed out blood, wincing in pain as he lay on the floor, struggling to breathe with his broken nose. His mouth was wide open, and blood trickled out, staining the ground.

“Let me introduce you to my new sidekick, Ray,” Rosa said, a devilish laugh escaping her lips as she patted the man’s shoulder.
“Well done, Joe, I wasn’t expecting that.”
“Anything for you, ma’am,” Joe replied, bowing in submission before freezing beside her like a lifeless statue.
“Greed caused this. If you weren’t so greedy, you wouldn’t have thought of implicating me, demanding excessive money from me, or even making a deal with Silas.” She paused, catching her breath as anger overtook her.
“As for Silas, I’ll handle him myself while Joe takes care of the guards. It will be a great family reunion to remember,” she added, excitement creeping into her voice.
Driven by shock, Ray stared at Rosa in disbelief. He couldn’t believe his ears.
“Don’t overthink it. I saw everything. I was the mysterious person in the cloak during your little operation. I can’t let you roam around freely when you have something that could destroy me.”
“You’re so stupid if you think you can eat your cake and have it too.” She shot Joe a look, signaling him.
“Get his camera now and destroy it,” she commanded with authority, watching Joe spring into action.
“Got it, ma’am,” Joe replied.
