Chapter 1564: 1564. Don’t want to hear any excuses.
Before he could finish speaking, Elly Campbell suddenly grabbed his collar and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Nathan Linstad was small and thin, and Elly Campbell’s kick was so strong that he staggered back several steps, clutching his stomach and collapsing onto the floor.
Before he could catch his breath, Elly Campbell stomped on his shoulder again, the sound of cracking bones echoing eerily in the silent study.
"Help, help!"
Nathan Linstad cried out sharply for help, but no one paid him any mind here.
The two bodyguards of the Jones Family stood motionless in the study, utterly ignoring Nathan’s cries.
Elly Campbell’s eyes were still bloodshot at this moment, and her whole body trembled as she struck Nathan.
The surging anger inside her made her wish she could end Nathan’s life with a single knife at that very moment.
Listening to Nathan’s repeated cries for help, thinking of sitting in a wheelchair without hope ahead, and being mocked and attacked mercilessly by Leanne Richards, her fury completely drowned out her reason.
She picked up Nathan, who was lying on the ground begging for mercy, and her fists pounded his face and body repeatedly.
The sound of bones clashing echoed repeatedly in the study.
She didn’t know how long she had been hitting him, and by the end, Nathan was black and blue, too afraid to retaliate, could only crouch in a corner, begging and sobbing softly.
Elly Campbell sat down on the sofa, "Bring him over."
The bodyguard stepped forward, picked up Nathan with one hand, and threw him in front of Elly Campbell.
Nathan seemed to be terrified, and as he knelt before Elly Campbell, his entire body was trembling even more violently.
"Spare me, madam, spare me..."
A few strands of hair fell from Elly Campbell’s temple, covering half of her face and shading the chilling light in her eyes.
"Speak up, who ordered you to poison the essential oil?"
Elly Campbell’s voice was as cold as words popping out from an ice cellar, each word made Nathan’s already battered face change further.
He looked at Elly Campbell with a face full of fear, still trying to deny it, but before he could open his mouth, Elly Campbell had already thrown a stack of documents from the table directly at his face.
"I only want to hear what I want to hear, and no excuses."
At this moment, Elly Campbell was like a demon from Hell, leaning in closer to Nathan.
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to speak now. In a law-abiding society, I won’t let you die, but making you wish you were dead is still very easy."
Her voice was soft yet as terrifying as a reaping ghost, scaring Nathan out of any courage to defend himself.
When he received that deal at the time, he had no idea what kind of background the other party had; he only thought that as long as he added the poison they wanted into the essential oil, he could easily pocket five million.
Five million was something someone from his background could never even dream of in a lifetime.
He learned from his mother’s mouth that the person he was going to poison was already a vegetative person who might never wake up in this lifetime.
He didn’t know why they wanted to harm a vegetative person, but for him, it was a tremendous opportunity.
A vegetative person might never wake up in this lifetime, so what did it matter if they could walk?
He could poison her without leaving a trace, avoiding inviting any undue trouble on himself, while also receiving a sky-high reward of five million.
He agreed without much thought.
Over the past half year, he had also been following up on that patient’s condition, and half a year had passed, and she still hadn’t woken up.
