His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 872

At midnight, the VIP ward corridor was deserted and eerily silent, not a soul in sight.

After the nurse finished her rounds and checked on Mr. York, she had barely left when a figure dressed as a janitor silently slipped into the room.

The room was quiet, with Mr. York fast asleep.

The man quickly pulled a prepared syringe from his jacket and aimed for York's thin, veiny arm.

"Who are you?!"

Startled, Mr. York suddenly woke, his eyes wide and fixed on the man.

"I'm the new janitor, here for a late check-up," the man stuttered, clearly panicked and fumbling over his words.

"Nonsense! My caretakers are handpicked by my daughter. Who the hell are you?!"

Mr. York's alarm bells were ringing. Just as he was about to press the call button, the man grabbed him by the throat!

"I'm sorry, Mr. York, but I've got no choice now!"

With a menacing look, the man tightened his grip until York's pale face turned a shade of purple-red. Through gritted teeth, he said, "I've served the York family for over a decade. You've been kind, so the least I can do is let you die knowing the truth.

Mr. York, remember this in your next life: blood ties or not, trust can easily turn into betrayal!"

Hearing this, Mr. York felt as if struck by lightning, his lips trembling.

"Don't blame me, blame your cruel son!"

With tears of resentment, York slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, with a loud crash, the door was kicked open.

"Freeze! Hands up!"

Aaron, tall and imposing like a streak of lightning, burst into the room, his hands firmly gripping his gun aimed at the assailant.

Caught off guard, the man let go and dashed to the window, pushing it open in desperation—

But then, looking down from the tenth floor, his vision darkened.

In that moment, Aaron delivered a swift, precise kick, knocking the man to the ground, then quickly handcuffed him:

"You are now under arrest for attempted murder! You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law!"

Pulling off the man's mask, Aaron revealed the face of Zachary's trusted secretary!

"I-I'll tell you everything!"

Clearly not cut out for this, the secretary broke down, "Officer, I'll turn state's evidence, can I get a lighter sentence?! It wasn't me who wanted Mr. York dead! It was Chairman York who forced me! He's involved in the illegal drug trade too, the warehouse he provided is filled with contraband! I have evidence! I can testify against him in court!"
