Female Novel
Chapter 617
Therefore, Fane could only pretend he was not aware of the plan to poison him.
But, he did feel a lot better now after beating up Ivan real bad just a moment ago.
"Hmph! I dare you to kill me here right now! You'd kill me just because Xena is fond of me but not Ben?
What a joke! If you murder me, then pray real hard for forgiveness from my Pa and Grandpa!"
Ivan jeered dryly and shot Fane a hateful stare. "Fane, I'll remember what happened today! And don't
you worry, you'll regret your actions sooner or later!”
Fane was not bothered in the slightest. He walked over to Xena's bag and plucked off the tracking
device. He then held Selena's hand and left the scene together with Ben.
Ivan could not see Fane taking off the tracking device from where he was. A few minutes after Fane
and the others left, Ivan used all his strength and finally got himself on the bed. His whole body was in
pain as if it was about to fall apart.
In hopes of asking Xena to come back, Ivan picked up his phone and called her, only to find that Xena
had been so frightened that when she escaped the room, she left her phone on the bedside table.
"F*ck! Looks like I have to call 911!" Ivan cursed. He felt that his limbs were about to detach from his
body and it was about to fall apart. He did not know how badly he was injured.
"Fane, that motherfucker! I want to see how long that arrogance of yours can last. I bet you don't know
that you've been poisoned, d o you? Humph! You’re strong and powerful,
but you can live for at most another twenty nine days? And when the time comes, your body will fester
and you'll die in pain. I'll definitely take pictures of you when I witness this glorious moment of you dying
: n pain before me!"
Ivan muttered to himself, his tone icy cold. Then he dialed 911.
"Young Master Clark, Young Master Clark, bad news! Somebody's beaten Ivan up, and I don't know
what his condition is right now. What should I do?"
After Xena escaped the horrific hotel room, terror thundered down on her. Even until now, she was
shaking in fear.
She quickly thought for a moment before speeding toward the direction of Ken Clark's residence to look
for Ken.
"What? What just happened? Tell me everything from A to Z!"
When Ken had fully understood the whole incident, his brows furrowed. "Wait, speak slowly. Tell me the
details, who beat him? The Taylor family is now a second-class family, and with the fame and glory the
Taylor family had received during Old Man Taylor’s birthday banquet, who on earth would dare to go
against Young Master Ivan at this point in time?
"Fane, the b*stard!”
Anxiety vibrated through her being as she continued, "The incident happened like this. I had planned to
go on a secret date with Ivan tonight. I don't know what I did t o make Fane and Ben so suspicious of
me. Besides, I was extra careful when I went out. I truly don't know why and how on earth they knewnovelbin
my whereabouts. They tracked me to the hotel, and then Ivan and I were caught on the spot by two of
them and Selena Taylor..."
Once Xena breathed out the last syllable, she cried aloud. "I was almost killed by Ben. Luckily, he
couldn’t do it in the end and loosened his grip around my neck.
Only then did I manage to escape. I didn’t bring my phone with me when I ran out, and I didn't know
what else to do, so I could only come here to find you!”
"Don’t worry. I've thought about it. I don't think Young Master Ivan would die.”
Ken went silent for a moment and then a disdainful smile hung over his face.
"No way How can you be so sure?”
Her brows knitted together. "Fane is a hotheaded and simple-minded guy. He can do anything!"
"Hehl If it was just Fane at the scene, this one-brain-cell brat might've ended Ivan on the spot without
hesitation!"
Ken chuckled aloud and then added, "But Selena was there, too. So, he wouldn't kill Ivan. He’s
Selena's cousin after all, and if Fane killed him because of this, it would be difficult for them to justify
themselves before Old Master Taylor. Furthermore, Ivan is the main person in charge of the South Hill
Real Estate projects. Killing Ivan wouldn't be a good thing for the Taylor family, at least not for now!"
Xena finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ken's words. "Fane and the others should've left by
now, but I'm still afraid. Could you please get several bodyguards and come with me to the hotel?"
