Chapter 278 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

When she heard Annalise Barton's question, the woman in the black butterfly mask looked at Annalise. "It doesn't

matter who I am. What's important is that I'll only give you five seconds to exchange hostages. Five, four..." "Trevor!

Save me!" When she received an eye signal from the woman in the black butterfly mask, Layla Cory called out to

Trevor Stinson for help. Now that Trevor had seen Layla Cory, he was extremely annoyed. Wasn't she causing

trouble? Elusive love? Julian's savior?

In his mind, Trevor only acknowledged Julian's wife, Annalise. He was so indifferent that there was no emotion on his

face at all. He approached Annalise and whispered in her ear, "Annalise, let's exchange hostages. After we get Old

Mr. Parks back, we'll leave." As long as the hostages were successfully swapped, he would leave with Annalise first

together with Old Mr. Parks. When they had been safely taken away, Trevor would come charging back on a killing

spree. Previously, he was worried about

Annalise's safety and was somewhat distracted. He could not go all out to attack them. Once Annalise and Old Mr.

Parks were safe, he would make life a living hell for all these people. While Trevor was whispering in Annalise's ear,

the woman in the black butterfly mask was waiting for an opportunity to hit Annalise in the chest with her elbow to

break free. Pow! Trevor unceremoniously punched the woman's bent arm. She gasped as she felt the excruciating

pain. She gritted her teeth so hard that grinding sounds could be heard in the air. Before the woman could speak,

Trevor spoke first. "I haté despicable low-life the most in my life!"

The woman wailed, "... Trevor, I'm your senior!" "Hmph..." Trevor gave a scornful sneer. That sneer represented his

whole attitude. "Release Old Mr. Parks. I'll count to three. Release them together! One, two, three!" Trevor was

looking at the two men holding Old Mr. Parks when he started counting. In the end, after he finished counting, the

two men made a deceptive move. Annalise had just lowered the dagger a little when the woman in the black

butterfly mask tried to find an opportunity to break free from her grasp. Annalise pressed the dagger against the

woman's neck again. She gave a scornful laugh. "Do you think I will trust someone like you?" The woman in the

black butterfly mask was subdued again and was very angry. "I'm warning you to let me go immediately. Otherwise,

my men will stab the old man once every second," the woman in the black butterfly mask threatened. Following

that, she signaled to the two men holding Old Mr. Parks with her eye. The two men immediately nodded, indicating

that they understood the order.

Right after this, exactly one second later, one of the men stabbed Old Mr. Parks in the thigh. "Argh..." Old Mr. Parks

tried his best to endure it but in the end, he still let out a muffled groan because the pain was too much. When

Annalise and Trevor saw Old Mr. Parks' reaction, their hearts tensed up vehemently. Annalise felt as if her heart was

going into convulsions. Her feelings for the elderly were incomprehensible to ordinary people. Her three mentors,

Joseph Quigley, Dariel Randall, and Cash Cappell were all elderly folks like Old Mr. Parks. They were loving and

gentle, but at times, they were strict too. They were always thinking of her interests, doting on her, loving her, and

protecting her.

Now that Annalise had seen Grandpa Samuel being tortured, she wished she could stab this woman to death.

However, she had to calm down. She had to defeat this woman psychologically. Slash! Annalise stabbed the thigh of

the woman in the black butterfly mask with a pair of surgical scissors. These were the scissors she had used to cut

the woman's hair earlier. The scissors had two sharp tips and hurt more than a dagger. "Argh..." The woman cried

out in pain. Annalise said icily, "Every time your men stab Grandpa Samuel, I will stab you. Let's see who can last

longer!"

After the woman in the black butterfly mask cried out in pain, she laughed. "In my opinion, your method is very

feasible. I also want to find out whether my tolerance for pain is higher or the old man's tolerance is higher. I want

to know which one will deteriorate faster, my young body or his old body." Annalise said calmly, "I'm a doctor. I can

answer your question. Old people are definitely not as strong as young people. If we keep stabbing each other like

this, under normal circumstances, you will definitely be able to last longer. But don't forget, I'm a doctor. I brought

medicine that can extend Grandpa Samuel's life." On the other side, the person holding Grandpa Samuel stabbed

him again.

Annalise decisively stabbed the thigh of the woman in the black butterfly mask with the pair of scissors again. The

woman screamed in pain again. Annalise warned in a chilly voice, "You can do all things once or twice, but never

thrice. I won't stab you so gently next time. At the conference, everyone thought that I was a traditional medicine

practitioner. "In reality, I studied modern medicine for many years abroad and dissected countless corpses. I'm

familiar with every muscle, organ, and blood vessel in the human body.

"Oh, I'm also very good at picking tendons. in the arms and legs. Using surgical scissors to pick tendons will be

more accurate and faster than using a dagger." When the woman in the black butterfly mask heard Annalise's

threat, her eyes widened slightly. She had to admit that she was afraid! She believed that this crazy woman

Annalise Barton would really do it. If Annalise really cut the tendons in her hands and legs, not only would she not

be able to practice boxing in the future, but she would also have a problem walking. When she saw that the man

holding Old Mr. Parks was about to stab him again, the woman in the black butterfly mask finally gave in and

shouted, "Stop!"

Trevor looked at Annalise even more fondly. This was his good friend Julian's wife. She was simply tailor-made for

him. Other than Annalise, who else could be Julian's wife? She had such boldness, such wisdom, and such mental

fortitude. She was not inferior to Julian in each of these aspects. "I'll give you five seconds to consider exchanging

hostages honestly. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to slice off your Achilles tendons," Annalise threatened. She knew

that this woman's psychological defense was collapsing. She had to strike while the iron was hot and gain the upper

hand. ""I'll count to five. One, two, three..." "Release him!" the woman in the black butterfly mask shouted. Thump!

Suddenly, Julian Parks pounced on Grandpa Samuel from behind by.

Immediately after that, Julian leaped up and delivered a dropkick on the chests of the two men holding Grandpa

Samuel. Both men were sent crashing to the ground instantly. When he saw that Grandpa Samuel had been saved,

Trevor's eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over to help. Layla shouted again, "Save me, Julian! Save me!"

When the woman in the black butterfly mask heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Look! The effect

she wanted was coming! Now that Julian had rescued Old Mr. Parks, the next step was to ask Annalise to use the

woman in exchange for Layla. At that point, Annalise would realize that Layla was Julian's elusive love. Would she be

heartbroken? Would she be sad? Haha! The hostage Annalise had risked her life to take was only used to exchange

for Julian's elusive love. Wouldn't she be upset? Haha!

Even though the way things unfolded today was a little convoluted, as long as she achieved her goal, it was good

enough! "Why are you here?" Julian looked sharply at Layla. Grandpa Samuel's kidnapping today was definitely

premeditated. She knew that it was him whom she saved back then? Or could it be that she was not his savior at

all, and she simply got close to him with a purpose? Was she deliberately creating a coincidence? Did she want to

make him take the initiative to acknowledge her?
