Chapter 4When the Heiress Reclaimed Her Crown

"I know I've wronged you, but Liam and I truly love each other!"

"I don't want status or to compete with you for anything. I just want to stay by Liam's side."

Her cheeks were red and swollen, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Liam seemed to hear the commotion and rushed out from the bedroom.

His expression changed several times before he ultimately chose to believe Sophie.

"Jenna, I never thought you'd stoop to physical violence out of jealousy!"

I found it absurd and grabbed Sophie's collar.

"Sophie, when did I touch you? Stop acting!"

She secretly dug her nails into my arm. I instinctively dodged, and Sophie took the opportunity to fall to the ground. Her knee was bleeding, and she cried heartbreakingly.

"It hurts so much, Liam. I'm bleeding. Will I be okay...?"

In his panic, Liam knocked me to the ground.

Sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

Blood flowed down my legs, but I barely registered it.

Liam quickly opened the car door to take Sophie to the hospital.

"Sophie has poor blood clotting. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive you!"

As we got in the car, Liam suddenly grabbed my arm.

"I remember you and Sophie have the same blood type. Come to the hospital with us!"

Without waiting for my answer, Liam roughly shoved me into the car.

Halfway through the drive, there was a loud crash.

We'd had an accident.

My forehead slammed hard into the front seat. Excruciating pain swept through my lower abdomen.

I tried to lift my head to call for help and saw Liam protecting Sophie firmly beneath him.

He carried Sophie away and calmly made calls to have people handle the situation.

Not until I struggled to crawl out from the back seat did he remember my existence and look at me with some surprise.

"My stomach hurts so much..."

Hearing this, Sophie asked weakly: "Liam, my knee is bleeding so much. Will I die?"

Before, even if I just scraped my skin a little, Liam would be extremely anxious.

He'd apply medicine, feed me candy, and cheer me up.

This time, he looked at me with disgust as I broke out in cold sweat.

"Jenna Rivers, how long are you going to keep up this act?"

"I'm not..."

My voice grew weaker and weaker.

Until the ambulance arrived, Liam never looked at me again.

My forehead was badly swollen, my arms torn and bloody from glass.

Finally, I was sent to the hospital in a daze.

When I woke up, my hospital room was already surrounded by Liam's bodyguards.

Seeing me open my eyes, Liam dragged me all the way to the blood draw room and threw me on the floor in front of the nurse.

"Draw as much blood from her as you can. I just need Sophie to be safe!"

Blood drained from my body at an alarming rate.

By the time there was no more blood to draw and my vision went black, the nurse gasped in shock.

"Miss Rivers has been taking special medication recently. This blood can't be used!"

Liam's fury exploded instantly, his eyes dark.

"Let's see you try to weasel out of this!"

"Sophie was right—you're trying to kill her!"

Before he finished speaking, he ordered his men to force me to kneel on broken glass without hesitation.

I cried out in pain, my whole body nearly collapsing to the ground.

Liam covered Sophie's eyes with his hand, not wanting her to see this bloody scene.

He looked down at me from above.

"Jenna Rivers, you think too highly of yourself. Did you really think I'd soften and let you off?"
