Chapter 138 Send Her to the Mental Hospital.
Chloe widened her eyes in shock. How could he possibly know the truth? Her plan was flawless, and whether it was about her illness or her kidnap, she was sure there were no loopholes left behind.
He must be lying to her.
Yes, that must be it.
Chloe endured the pain and tears and pretended to be clueless. "Francis, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Aurora brought your injection medicine, and the car exploded off the cliff. Victor found a car passing by at that time, whose recorder clearly showed the accident was caused by a brake failure. Why would those who risked their lives for one million dollars prepare an escape car with faulty brakes?"
Francis calmly narrated, "Chloe, do you think there's no evidence of your actions, so you're treating me like a fool?"
His tone was calm as if discussing what to eat for dinner, but every word he said made Chloe feel numb and terrified.
Her voice was filled with sorrow, and she desperately shook her head. "It's not like that, Francis. Let me explain."
Her teardrops fell on Francis' wrist, which brought him a sense of disgust, and he abruptly pushed Chloe away forcefully.
His sudden move pushed Chloe's weak body away.
Her back hit the corner of the cabinet heavily, which brought her intense pain as if her spine had been broken.
Chloe's face twisted in pain, which looked extremely ugly.
But no matter how miserable she looked, she couldn't evoke a shred of tenderness from him.
"Chloe, you know I dislike a woman playing tricks. I spoiled you before because I owed you a favor. Now that I've repaid it, let's make it even between us."
In fact, he had suspected it before, but he had been deceiving himself and thinking that Chloe was still the innocent and kind girl in his memory.
He didn't want to think about it, nor did he want to investigate it. When the truth was presented to him, Francis' first reaction was how to face Harper.
Even though she had told him countless times about Chloe's true color, he didn’t believe her.
Thinking of Harper's heartbroken appearance, Francis' heart ached uncontrollably.
It was his blindness that hurt Harper.
It was also his abandonment that caused her to lose her child, which was also his.
His eyes, filled with deep resentment, made Chloe feel like a criminal awaiting judgment.
Finally, she felt fear.
She cried out, "Francis, you can't do this. Everything I did was because I loved you. I love you too much. I don't want to lose you. The things I said were out of jealousy towards Harper. Why does she get to have you when I've known you longer than her?"
Upon hearing this, Francis' expression was cold and weary. "Chloe, I only have gratitude towards you. Isn't that clear to you?"
These words plunged Chloe's heart into deeper darkness.
"Impossible. You're lying to me."
Chloe cried uncontrollably, and she was unable to believe it. "Are you lying to me? How could you have never liked me? You are always kind to me. Isn’t that because you love me? How is that possible?"
Chloe had always lived in her fantasies. She loved Francis's good looks and his noble status.
Just one glance from him could conjure up countless fantasies in her mind.
She had never imagined that one day, her fantasies would be shattered so completely.
In front of her, Francis made a call. "Victor, connect with Serenity Haven Psychiatric Hospital in Northfield. Ms. Musk is mentally unstable and urgently needs treatment."
After hearing this, Chloe felt that something was wrong.
Serenity Haven Psychiatric Hospital?
That was a psychiatric hospital in Northfield!
Instantly, her mind went blank, and her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
Francis was actually going to send her to a mental hospital.
That was not a place for a normal person to stay at all.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably. "Francis, what are you saying? Are you joking?"
"Isn't that where you wanted to send Harper just now?"
His words felt like a thorny whip, which fiercely stroked Chloe's face and brought her excruciating pain.
She never expected that Francis would use the same tactics he had planned for Harper on her.
With an elegant and refined face, he spoke with a mocking coldness, and his thin lips were cutting her like knives.
"I'm going to send you there now."
In an instant, Chloe trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with endless fear.
She no longer cared about her dignity and image and knelt at Francis' feet, crying out.
"Francis, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have plotted against Harper. I won't do it again. Please don't send me to the mental hospital."
But Francis just smirked, didn’t even look at her, and prepared to leave.
Desperately, Chloe knew that once he left, she would be taken to the psychiatric hospital, and there was no room for her to resist.
She screamed, "Francis, how can you do this to me? My family won’t let you. Aren't you afraid my father will come against you if you send me to the mental hospital?"
Francis sneered softly and said, "Nathan Musk also knows that you're pretending to be ill."
Upon hearing her father's full name, Chloe was taken aback.
Francis had always shown respect towards her father, and this was the first time he had disrespectfully called her father by his name.
Chloe tried to avoid eye contact as she said, "No, my dad doesn't know."
A hint of disgust flashed across Francis' face. If he didn't know that the developer of the injection medicine had a close relationship with Nathan, he might have believed her.
His gaze turned cold. "Did you and your family ever consider the consequences of deceiving me? Since Nathan wants me to take care of his daughter so much, I'll make sure to take good care of you. Even if he came after me..."
Francis paused for a second and asked, "Do you think he would choose his career or you?"
In an instant, Chloe was shocked.
If forced to choose, her father would undoubtedly choose his career without hesitation.
Francis' words seemed to have dissected the morality of her entire family.
He opened the door, and Victor stood outside with two strong bodyguards.
Without looking back, he said coldly, "Take her away."
Chloe watched in horror as the two bodyguards approached her and hysterically cried out, "I don't want to go. No."
But it seemed like he didn't hear her and just turned to leave.
"Don't come near me."
Chloe grabbed a fruit knife and held it against her neck as she shouted, "If you want to take me away, I'll die in front of you."
