Chapter 4 Senna was twisting the whole story , and her lies were full of holes . [ ] But Caspian bought every word without thinking . [ ] He stomped down hard on my fingers . " Can't believe you're this fucking twisted . Apologize to Senna right now ! " ] I tried to fight back , but he pressed down harder . [ ] " Caspian , we're still engaged . You treat me like this , aren't you afraid people will - Ahh ! " ] ] Caspian put more pressure on my fingers . [ ] " You think a fake like you deserves to marry into the Hartwell family ? Here's the truth - Senna and I are getting married . I know you're desperate to he my wife , that's why you're pulling all this shit , but you can forget about it . Just bow down and apologize to Senna , and maybe she'll be generous enough to let you live . " The pain was so intense I could barely keep my face straight . Furious and disgusted , I spat through gritted teeth : "Only you would treat some cuckoo bird like treasure . Just wait - I'll be there when you come crashing down ! " ] ] The words " cuckoo bird " seemed to hit a nerve with Senna . ] She went completely psycho , clawing and hitting me , then grabbed a stun baton from the bodyguard . [ ] " I'm gonna kill you ! Kill you ! " [ ] Without thinking , Senna raised the baton with all her strength and swung it at me . [ ] Caspian had me pinned down - I couldn't move , could only close my eyes in despair . [ ] But the expected pain never came . Instead , I heard Caspian's panicked voice : [ ] " Uncle ... " ] ] I opened my eyes to find Phoenix - who should've been in his hospital room - standing in front of me , taking the hit meant for me . [ ] His face was deathly pale , but he struggled to stay upright as he spoke : " Caspian , don't let her fool you . This woman isn't the Cross heiress . Seraphina didn't hurt anyone - she's the one who had those thugs kidnap Seraphina . " Caspian stared at the battered Phoenix , completely stunned . [ ] Before he could react , Senna covered her face and started crying . [ ] " So this guy's your uncle ? Caspian , maybe we should call off the engagement ! Seraphina didn't just kidnap me - she got your uncle to assault me too . If our bodyguard hadn't shown up in time ... " ]] " I can't accept you having such a disgusting uncle . Unless ... you cut ties with him completely . " [ ] Watching Senna's tears , the last trace of doubt disappeared from Caspian's eyes . [] He glared at Phoenix furiously . " Uncle , how could you team up with this bitch to hurt Senna ? You've completely disappointed me ." Caspian knocked Phoenix to the ground with a few hits , then grabbed the baton and walked toward me with murder in his eyes . [ ] " 0 This was the fourth floor VIP ward - nurses and doctors rarely came up here . ] Every blow to my legs felt like it was splitting me open " Today you're losing a leg to make up for what Senna went through " Chapter 4 I was completely pinned down , helpless . Just when I was about to give up hope , I heard rapid footsteps and my brother's furious voice : [ ] " Stop ! What the hell are you doing ?! " " You think the hospital is your personal playground ? " [ ] I was pressed against the floor , only able to show half my swollen face . ] My brother seemed to find me familiar , but couldn't connect this beaten wreck with his pampered sister . [ ] I tried desperately to speak , but they pressed down harder , and blood blocked my throat - I could only make muffled sounds . [ ] My brother looked uncertain . He came over to check on me , but the bodyguard stepped in his way . The bodyguard looked at my brother with a fawning expression . " Master , what brings you to the hospital so suddenly ? " [ ] My brother ignored the question and pointed at my barely conscious form behind him . " What's going on here ? What did this girl do to deserve getting beaten like this in a hospital ? " [ ] " Attacking a defenseless woman like this - it's bad for the Cross family's reputation . " ] ] A flicker of panic crossed the bodyguard's eyes , but he stayed calm . " Just a thief , nothing to worry about . If you don't like it , I'll drag her somewhere else to deal with her . " ] My brother frowned , still wanting to check for himself . But the bodyguard deliberately blocked his view again . [] This time , my brother's expression completely changed . ] ( 0 ) Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
