CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: LET’S GO TO THE CIVIL AFFAIRS BUREAU TO GET THE PAPERWORK DONE (PART 1)

Evan Grant’s breath was rapid, staring at her in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Juliana’s eyes were blazing with anger, filled with nothing but deep-seated hatred.

"Why?" His voice was tight.

"It was your brother who wanted my life, and you always knew, yet you pretended not to in front of me. To keep the Grant Family from disgrace, I was always your sacrificial lamb!"

Evan looked at her furious demeanor, his brows deeply furrowed.

"I climbed back from the jaws of death several times, only begging you to give me a chance to live, but what about you? You refused to divorce, choosing to control everything from above, using my life to sacrifice for the glory of the Grant Family!"

Juliana was emotional, her voice tearing.

"What’s worse is that you haven’t done enough harm to me. Now you even want to take my grandfather’s life... Why? Just because your surname is Grant? Just because you have wealth and power, you can crush a life like this?"

"Your grandfather... is he gone?"

Evan was sweating on his forehead, the scene before him darkening, yet he managed not to collapse.

"You don’t know what happened to him? Didn’t your dear brother boast about it to you? They killed a defenseless old man yesterday and are still strutting around flaunting their innocence! Do the Grants think that only their own lives matter while others are just ants?"

"Evan Grant, go to hell, and once you’re dead, I’ll send your brother down to accompany you. You brothers will kneel in front of my grandfather underground and beg for forgiveness!"

Evan felt a dull pain in his chest, trying to speak, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the office door opened.

Elias Langley and Ethan Carter walked in.

Stella Windsor, who had been standing at the door unwilling to leave, quietly followed them in.

Seeing the scene before her, she screamed in fright.

"Juliana, what did you do, you want to..."

Elias turned and gave her a sharp look, forcing her to swallow her unfinished words.

Evan leaned on Ethan’s shoulder, weakly said, "Restrain her, don’t let her go out and talk nonsense."

Ethan promptly agreed.

"Brother..." Stella covered her mouth, tears of grievance welling up.

Elias stood in front of Juliana, blocking Evan’s view, calmly said, "The ambulance is in the underground parking lot, the detoxification expert is on board, and you can leave through the special passage without drawing attention."

Ethan nodded, helping Evan up.

Evan cooperatively moved with him, borrowing his strength to move outside.

Elias put his arm around Juliana’s waist, also leading her out.

Juliana walked numbly, her eyes bloodshot but silent, lost in thought.

...

At Hospital 547.

Evan was sent into the emergency room.

The surroundings were cleared.

The doctor brought the critical condition notice, asking Juliana to sign.

Instead, Juliana wrote "Give up the rescue" and tossed the pen aside.

The doctor looked at Elias, Elias raised his chin, signaling the doctor to continue the rescue.

He pressed her into the chair, softly said, "Calm down."

The redness in Juliana’s eyes hadn’t faded, looking at him with hatred.

"How did you know he was poisoned? You were following me, none of you are good people."

Elias crouched before her, patiently said, "I forbid you to do something foolish."

Juliana emotionally laughed, "It’s a lethal dose of cobra venom, you can’t save him, he must die, he must die!"

Elias gripped her shoulders, his voice suddenly rising, sternly said, "Look at me!"

He rarely used this tone with people because his voice carried a seismic power not many could withstand.

Juliana was startled, her emotions somewhat settled.

"Letting him die comfortably, how will you combat the true murderer of your grandfather? Will you not avenge your own near-death encounters?"

Elias’ words enlightened her, she looked at him, the redness in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by silent tears.

Elias continued, "Death is too easy for him. He should live in hell, that’s true torment for him, hmm?"

Juliana’s tears fell uncontrollably, Elias’ heart tightened, he stood up and held her, letting her bury her head against his waist.

After two minutes of crying, he lowly asked, "Curiously, why do women have so many tears?"

She cried all night yesterday, sweated for half the night, and still shedding pearls now.

Juliana threw a punch at him, not knowing where it landed, he grunted and caught her hand as she aimed for a second punch.

At this time, Quinn Shepherd rushed over, seeing this scene and wanting to retreat, but was called back by Elias.

"What’s the matter?"

Quinn turned around and said, "The Third Young Master is here."

The words fell, and they heard the elevator ding open.

Juliana pushed Elias away just as Adrian Langley hurriedly appeared in the corridor.

Elias slightly frowned.

"Juliana, I just came from the morgue, I heard... are you alright?"

Juliana looked at him, her eyes still moist, Adrian didn’t notice, her tears had soaked Elias’ waist.

"Grandfather is gone, shouldn’t you stop avoiding?" Juliana said.

Adrian was choked by her words.

Elias raised his eyebrows, looking elsewhere.

At that moment, the emergency room doors opened.

Evan was wheeled out.

The doctor spoke to those waiting outside, "Fortunately, the anti-venom serum was injected in time, and the wound has been properly handled, now we’ll transfer him to the ICU for further blood purification measures."

However, despite the doctor’s lengthy explanation, no one responded.

An awkward atmosphere lingered at the emergency room door.

Seeing Evan would survive, Juliana turned to leave.

Old Mrs. Grant, supported by Ethan, approached, and several of the Grant Family’s bodyguards blocked her way.

"Are you just going to leave?"

The old lady’s gaze seemed to bore holes into her.

Juliana coldly replied, "Otherwise, should I inject more venom to ensure his passage?"

"Juliana!"

The old lady’s angry voice rang out, prompting several bodyguards to step forward to restrain Juliana.

Just then, Elias slowly spoke, "Old Mrs. Grant, this is a hospital."

The old lady turned her eyes to him, her gaze narrowing, "Is the Langley Family going to intervene in the Grant Family’s affairs?"

Elias curled his lips arrogantly, "The detox doctor was found by me, the Grant Family owes me a favor."

The old lady looked at him, then at Juliana, a hint of interest in her eyes.

Calming her heaving chest, she waved her hand, the bodyguards retreated.

"Juliana," the old lady’s tone softened a bit, even carried a hint of persuasion, "I can tell, Evan truly loves you. Those matters... maybe he had his reasons, why can’t you hear him out?"

Elias, due to the old lady’s words, shifted his gaze to Juliana.

The old lady’s tolerance indicated that the Grant Family still wanted to keep her. Whether the relationship would end or continue depended on Juliana’s next words.

Juliana looked at the old lady, a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Old Mrs. Grant, if you have the time, consider how to deal with what’s coming because 20 minutes ago, I leaked the news of Evan Grant’s critical condition to the media."

Old Mrs. Grant suddenly pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word.

Ignoring others’ reactions, Juliana stepped forward, Adrian quickly following her.

Elias casually followed them.

Upon reaching the elevator bay, Juliana entered the car first.

As Adrian was about to follow, Quinn pulled him back.

Quinn grinned, "Third Young Master, I have something to ask."

Elias stepped gracefully into the elevator.

As the door closed, he suddenly reached out, pulling the woman who was a meter away from him into his arms.
