Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791

Ned smashed his phone to the ground and cursed, “Useless piece of trash. He thought, ‘I have already alerted the enemy,

and now I can’t make another move.

Taking a deep breath, he forced down his anger. As he pushed the door open, he nearly collided with a shadowy figure. He hurriedly took two steps back, only to find himself staring into a pair of icy eyes.

Ned forced a weak smile and asked, “Mr. Shaw, is there something you need?”

Owen didn’t answer. He simply stepped forward, his presence suffocating.

Ned stumbled back under the intimidating aura, helplessly watching as Owen strode into the office. Cold sweat broke out on his back-he instantly realized Owen knew all about his grudge with Aria and was here for payback.

“The net needle thing has nothing to do with me,” Ned blurted out, his voice tight with panic.

Owen’s lips curled up slightly. He said, “Funny, I haven’t even said a word yet. How do you know about that, Ned?”

Ned forced himself to act calm. He stammered, “I checked the security cameras. There was something wrong with the net, I was just about to report it.”

Owen took another step forward, the pressure in the room turning suffocating. He said, “I’ve already given you a chance.”

Seeing the murderous intent in Owen’s eyes, Ned started to tremble. He said, “There are security cameras in the office. Don’ try anything.”

Before he could finish, Owen suddenly struck.

With a crack, Ned’s right hand was broken. As his scream left his lips, his left wrist was smashed against the edge of the desk. He screamed in agony. The next second, he was slammed hard against the wall.

Owen demanded, “A petty thief stealing someone else’s identity-where did you get the guts to mess with others?”

Ned coughed up blood and collapsed to the floor. He knew he was done for.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Tessa rushed in with the Supervision Department team, just in time to witness the scene. She said, “Mr. Shaw, leave the rest to me.”

Owen nodded and replied, “Sure.”

One member of the Supervision Department crouched down to check on Ned. Then he reported, “Ms. Langford, his hand is crippled.”

“Save me, please. I can’t lose the use of my hand,” Ned pleaded desperately.

Tessa’s gaze was icy as she said, “If you behave yourself, the State Security Bureau won’t do anything to you.”

She thought, ‘Even though he has mistaken someone, his contributions to the Bureau couldn’t be denied. But he just had to lay a hand on Aria. What an idiot!’

“Take him to the hospital and keep a close eye on him. Keep this quiet for now-this could mess up the competition too,”

Tessa ordered.

Someone replied, “Yes, Ms. Langford.”

“This is just too much. Who the hell puts so many needles on the net and even poisons them? Do they think our lives are worthless or something?” Liz was cursing under her breath, clutching the resource pack.

Aria reminded her, “There are security cameras.”

Liz huffed, “I don’t care if there are cameras, I still have to rant. They almost got you hurt.”

Aria smiled and said, “I’m fine. This has nothing to do with the Bureau-someone’s out to get me.”

“You just got here, and someone’s already after you? Who is it?” Liz asked, her curiosity burning.

“I’ll tell you after the competition’s over,” Aria replied.

Liz said, “Come on, I can’t even focus on the competition now. Just tell me, please?”

Aria motioned for Liz to lean in, her voice dropping to a whisper. “Ned.”
