Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 774: Are You Threatening Me?

After that conversation, Miles Sterling left the villa and disappeared for several days.

Following the doctor’s advice, Vanessa Sterling was doing rehabilitation exercises. Now she could walk on her own while holding onto something. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The reason she wanted to recover quickly was no longer about her future. She just hoped her body would be strong enough to drive the knife deeper into Miles Sterling’s heart.

Bianca Jennings seemed to notice something unusual about Vanessa Sterling. When accompanying her for a walk by the sea, she said, "Why choose to sacrifice yourself and perish with the devil when you could find a better solution, like the angel you are?"

Vanessa Sterling hesitated for a long time after hearing this and finally told Bianca Jennings about what Miles Sterling had done to Jasper Jones.

Bianca Jennings understood that Vanessa Sterling was naturally kind-hearted. She could endure her own suffering, but the last thing she wanted was for people around her to get hurt because of her.

"Vanessa, you should trust me more. When something like this happens, just tell me. The more I know, the better I can treat it. And your main task is to focus on recovering your health, waiting for the day the sun rises in your world again."

Vanessa Sterling paused before saying, "Dr. Jennings, I’m just afraid that after staying in the dark for so long, I won’t adjust when the sunlight finally comes in."

Bianca Jennings smiled, "Everyone longs for the light, you and he included. No one is born to the darkness. You should have more faith in me and in him as well."

Vanessa Sterling pondered in silence for a few seconds before nodding.

Could Miles Sterling really change?

Bianca Jennings said, "I’ve already sent someone to the hospital to check on your friend. The injury is quite serious, but his life is not in danger. He’ll be going through a process of treatment and slow recovery, just like you. I have friends in the hospital who will help take care of him, so you don’t need to worry too much."

Since Miles Sterling used Jasper Jones to threaten Vanessa Sterling, it meant he wouldn’t let the person who could threaten Vanessa die so easily.

Because only then could Vanessa Sterling truly break free from his control.

But such a method would only backfire.

In the evening, Miles Sterling’s car appeared once again along the cement road leading to the villa.

By the time he got home, Vanessa Sterling was eating dinner with two doctors downstairs.

No one seemed to know Miles Sterling had returned, so they didn’t prepare any utensils for him.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly approached and asked, "Young Master, have you eaten yet? Should I cook a few more dishes?"

"No need," Miles Sterling declined and then went straight upstairs to his room.

When he came back down after his shower, the only person left downstairs was Bianca Jennings.

His eyes searched around and finally found Vanessa Sterling, who was outside on the balcony, doing leg exercises with the help of her primary physician.

Bianca Jennings followed Miles Sterling’s line of sight and walked over to him, smiling as she said, "Mr. Sterling, are you here to settle the medical expenses?"

Miles Sterling’s gaze remained in Vanessa Sterling’s direction. He frowned slightly and replied, "Didn’t I deposit it into your account as usual?"

Bianca Jennings raised her eyebrows, "Really? I didn’t check. I’ll have to see just how generous Young Master Sterling is later."

Miles Sterling said, "I don’t think she needs psychological treatment anymore, does she?"

Bianca Jennings responded with a quiet smile, "So, does Mr. Sterling think I’m just loitering here to charge you a bit more for medical fees?"

Miles Sterling replied, "It’s not impossible."

Bianca Jennings curled her red lips, her smile deepened as she leaned a little closer, her breath brushing indistinctly against Miles Sterling’s nape: "Mr. Sterling is right; I am indeed loitering here, but not for the money."

Miles Sterling frowned, distancing himself a little, and looked at Bianca Jennings with a puzzled expression.

Bianca Jennings laughed and said, "After being here for so long, I find you quite interesting, Mr. Sterling. I think I’ve taken a liking to you."

Miles Sterling asked, "What are you talking about?"

Bianca Jennings looked at Miles Sterling with bewitching eyes and said, "However, you seem particularly concerned about that young lady. I’m actually a bit jealous. But I think you’re quite aware that I can make her forget the harm she’s suffered in the past, but I can also concoct stories that work against you, deepening her hatred for you, so... "

Miles Sterling’s face darkened, his eyes sharp as he looked at Bianca Jennings, "Are you threatening me?"

Bianca Jennings nodded openly in acknowledgment, "That’s right. I want to have you, and I now understand your weaknesses and vulnerabilities very well. If you don’t cater to my wishes, I’ll make sure that young lady never forgives you for her entire life."

Miles Sterling’s face turned grim, clenching his teeth as he looked at Bianca Jennings, as if itching to give her a harsh beating.

Just as the anger surged, Bianca Jennings suddenly laughed, "I was just joking with Mr. Sterling; did you take it seriously?"

Miles Sterling sneered mockingly, "A joke? Dr. Jennings, you really have a sense of humor."

Bianca Jennings asked, "How does it feel to be threatened by someone?"

Miles Sterling furrowed his brows, growing increasingly perplexed.

Bianca Jennings continued, "Do you think you would fall for someone who threatens you with your weaknesses and vulnerabilities all the time? Just now you must have been so angry that you wanted to get rid of me immediately, right?"

Miles Sterling asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Bianca Jennings laid it out plainly, "You use that young man’s life to threaten Vanessa. I just can’t figure out whether you want her to like you or to hate you. Just now, I merely wanted you to experience from Vanessa’s perspective how she feels when you threaten her. How was it? If your aim is to stir up Vanessa’s hatred for you, then feel free to keep targeting those she cares about."

Miles Sterling stood silently, finally understanding Bianca Jennings’ motive.

He looked up at Vanessa Sterling, recalling what he had said to her that day, and meticulously contemplated Bianca Jennings’ words just now.

However... if he didn’t use Jasper Jones to threaten Vanessa Sterling, she might never speak to him again.

Sometimes, he too knew that such tactics were despicable, but besides doing so, he didn’t know how else to achieve the result he desired.

Bianca Jennings said, "All right, it’s about time for me to go upstairs and rest. Mr. Sterling, don’t be in such a rush to send me away just yet. After all, you haven’t achieved the result you wanted, have you?"

Miles Sterling was taken aback, then he remembered why he had originally sought out Bianca Jennings—to erase Vanessa Sterling’s bad memories from the past.

But after more than half a month had gone by, Vanessa Sterling showed no signs of forgetting.

He asked, "How much longer until it works?"

As Bianca Jennings walked upstairs, she replied, "I’ve told Mr. Sterling before, this kind of thing can’t be rushed. Be patient and wait."
