Noah held onto Jane desperately. "How silly are you, Jane? Mr. Poole hasn't even said anything about killing you and you are already dead set on killing yourself. Have you thought about the child in your belly?"
Jane looked at Noah in tears. "Leave! Go home! Don't bother with me. You can't help with this!"
"I'm yours! I am the man who's going to marry you once you give birth! How can I leave you??"
'... Are these two not even aware that I am standing right here?' Alex thought as he approached them furiously and lifted Noah up with one hand grabbing onto the back of his collar.
Noah might have seemed muscular while Alex looked slimmer, but the way Alex lifted Noah was almost as easy as picking up a tiny chick. He flung Noah to the side mercilessly and blood instantly came gushing out from the corner of Noah's mouth.
Noah stared at Alex in awe and fear. He knew that this man before him was one of wealthy elites that came from Kidon City and he had only heard from Jane that he was someone of high status in terms of both wealth and power. However, it was at that precise moment that Noah realized what made the man such a formidable enemy: his extraordinary strength. Noah would have been no match for him even if he could
multiply himself by three or five.
"Noah...!" Jane rushed over to Noah in tears and embraced him. "Noah, are you okay? Noah... You are bleeding. Noah..."
She turned around to look at Alex, who stood furiously, sobbing, "Please...don't kill my Noah. I... I will go with you, I'll go back with you. Do whatever you want to me. I will go with you..."
Jane crawled, instead of walking, toward Alex as she spoke. Garrett could feel his heart shattering into pieces when he arrived at the scene. He hurried over and pulled Jane up from the ground.
"Mrs. Poole, you... You have misunderstood Master Alex, he doesn't want to kill you. He is here to take you home as his wife, Mrs. Poole!" Garrett helped Jane on her way toward Alex.
Jane was stunned for a brief moment, but then she recognized Garrett's face. "It--It's you? You... Thank you for letting me and Noah go last time. Thank you... You... You don't understand. I'm not Mrs. Poole, I'm just a maid in Master Alex's house... Leave me alone..." With that, Jane fell on her knees before Alex again.
"Jane! Stand up! Stand up right now! You need to stand proud! We can choose death! Jane!" Noah cried out with his heart broken at the sight.
Jane turned around and looked at Noah with tears streaming down her face. "You don't know this, Noah, but... but I've never been a person with integrity. I had
a lot of siblings, including two older brothers, two older sisters, two younger brothers, and two younger sisters. I was the only one who wasn't born with a twin. Apparently I killed my brother in the womb and because of that, I was born into my family as someone with no importance or integrity. My siblings all had their rooms, toys and beds and I was the only one who had to sleep in the corridor of the living room. The eight of them would gang up and beat me. Sometimes, they would even prank me by chaining me up and dragging me around like they would a dog. I had no pride. I've never had it. After that, my parents sold me off to marry a moron in our town in order to get the funding to support my younger siblings through school. That family locked me in for years and I spent all that time like a prisoner. I didn't find my pride there in that house either. But then, Master Alex saved me. He fed me, bought me clothes, and provided for m e so that I could finally live like a human being."
