“I’ll go with you. If the Wiley family suddenly returns, you alone are no match for them,” Veronica stood up and said, “Hurry up and change your clothes.”
“Okay,” Nydia replied softly.
Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the hospital.
Bentley had already been transferred to the VIP ward. Edda was at the door. When she saw Nydia, she waved.
“He’s already awake. The surgery was very successful. There’s no big problem,” Edda said. She turned her body and opened the door to let Nydia in.
Nydia nodded gratefully. “Thank you.”
Veronica still had a grudge against Edda because of their last conversation. She only nodded politely and did not say anything.
Edda didn’t care at all and said softly, “You’re welcome. You guys can go in. I’ll watch outside.”
The door closed behind Nydia.
Before Nydia could say anything, Bentley called her gently, “Nydia?”
Nydia walked over and saw that he was about to sit up. She quickly said, “Lie down and don’t move.”
Bentley smiled. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
His artery was already injured. But he still said that he was fine.
Veronica made a praise gesture to Bentley. ‘Dude, you’re the best. I admire you!”
Nydia looked at his arm wrapped in gauze and could not help but purse her lips tightly. Her eyes darkened. “I’m sorry. Because of me, you’ve already been sent to the resuscitation room twice.”
The last time, he was beaten up by Cade. This time, he was slashed by a criminal. How many lives could he have
to waste on her?
Bentley stared at her affectionately. After a while, he chuckled. “You want to repay me?”

Nydia nodded. “Tell me what you want me to do. I won’t refuse.”
“Be my girlfriend,” Bentley blurted out.
As soon as he said this, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Nydia froze. Bentley’s expectant gaze locked onto her face.
Veronica happily retreated to the side to watch the show.

“Nydia, I like you. I liked you from the first time I saw you in Jackson Mansion. But at that time, you were Mrs. Jackson, so I could only hide this love in my heart. After that, you divorced Cade. You have no idea how happy I was. I couldn’t wait to tell you my feelings immediately and treat you well for the rest of my life. I’ll protect and love you so that you won’t be hurt at all from now on.”
Nydia did not expect Bentley to suddenly confess. For a moment, she was stunned on the spot.
“I know your last marriage hurt you deeply, and it’s difficult for you to get over it at the moment. It doesn’t matter. I can afford to wait. I think time is the best medicine. It will heal everything. I’ll confess to you when you dare to face a new relationship again,” Bentley said.
At this point, his eyes suddenly turned red. “But when the criminal slashed at you today, I was so afraid that i was about to go crazy. I was afraid that I would lose you and never see your smile again. No, I can’t accept it. I can’t live without you!”
Nydia was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly and could not say a word.
She did not expect Bentley to fall in love with her at first sight, nor did she expect him to like her so much.
“Nydia, be my girlfriend. Let me love you, protect you, and accompany you for the rest Bentley said. His eyes were burning as he looked at her carefully. It was as if the woman treasure more precious than his life.

It was impossible that Nydia was not shocked and touched. After all, he had helped her twice with his life.

Nydia took a few deep breaths as if she had made a big decision. She looked up and met his gaze. “Alright, but can we take it slow?”
Bentley was stunned for a few seconds before his eyes widened in joy. He pulled out the syringe and was about

to rush toward her when Nydia saw this and quickly went forward to stop him. “Be careful. You’re still injured.”
Bentley did not care at all. He stretched out his arms and was about to hug her, but he immediately hissed in pain. He smiled with his pale lips and asked Nydia cautiously, “Can I hug you?”
Although Nydia felt unnatural, she thought she had to take the first step no matter what, so she nodded.
Bentley immediately embraced her with one hand.
Veronica smiled until the corners of her mouth were about to reach her ears. She took out her phone and immediately took a photo. After taking it, she posted it on her Instagram.
The caption was, “Be my girlfriend? I’ll protect you with my life.” Veronica even added a seductive meme.
On the other side, Liam was playing cards. The other party’s skills were too lousy. It was boring.
He handed the cards to the beauty in his arms and asked her to play for him. Then, he took out his phone and casually flipped through it. He saw Veronica’s new post on her Instagram.
‘Holy shit! What’s going on? The former Mrs. Jackson has a new lover, and he is from the Wiley family. This is much more interesting than playing cards!‘ Liam thought.
Without thinking, he immediately took a screenshot. ‘Such an exciting scene has to be shared with my good friend,‘ he thought.
After clicking on Cade’s profile picture, he hesitated again.
Cade had just experienced the blow of the failed bid and must have been in a bad mood. If he sent it over now, it
would make Cade feel worse.
With this thought in mind, Liam decisively sent it over.
In Mewarting City, at Jackson Gruop’s project team meeting room.
The group of executives were trembling in fear. Everyone lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe loudly, waiting for the man sitting above to speak.
Cade did not say a word. He had been sitting there for half an hour.
This was the first time he had tasted failure since he took charge of the Jackson Group.

Everyone thought he would break down, be furious, and lose his temper. However, he was surprisingly calm. He was no different from usual, still so cold and indifferent..
But even so, everyone was still afraid.
They were scared to death.
At this moment, Liam’s message came.
Cade did not look at it. His slender fingers rested on his cold chin while his other hand rested on the table. His eyes were calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A few seconds later, his phone rang.
It was from Orson. Cade picked it up and said okay expressionlessly before hanging up.
He opened WhatsApp.
His originally indifferent eyes suddenly constricted.
The air pressure around him plummeted. The hot air just now suddenly turned cold.
He stared unblinkingly at the two people in the photo, his black eyes turning cold.
The executives did not know what their president had seen. He looked so angry. They could still breathe just now. Now, they did not even dare to breathe.
Stuart stood behind Cade. When he saw the photo, he silently prayed for himself and Nydia.
Yes, this time, he had to pray for Nydia too..
Just as everyone was about to drown in this suffocating space, Cade suddenly stood up and strode out without looking back.
Just as everyone was about to feel relieved, they saw him pause again. He turned around and glanced at everyone coldly. “All the people brought by Austin will be fired, and the rest will be deducted from their wages for three months, and they will go back and write reflective essays, and they will give them to me when they are finished, and whose essays are not qualified will also be fired.”
With that, he slammed the door.
Stuart followed behind in fear.
After getting off the elevator, Cade picked up the phone and called Nydia.
However, he only heard, “Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…”
Cade loosened his tie in frustration and opened WhatsApp. He found that woman’s profile picture and quickly typed a line of words with his well–defined fingers.
