Chapter 4

"Someone, release the crocodile!"

With a rustling sound, a dark hole appeared on the wall of the Underground Cistern.

A bloodthirsty crocodile slowly appeared and swam towards me.

I didn't expect that under my villa, not only was there an Underground Cistern, but there were also bloodthirsty creatures like crocodiles.

Adrian was so angry that he wanted to kill me in the belly of a crocodile.

I am not afraid of death, but as I touched my slightly bulging belly, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Adrian, if you don't stop, you will kill your own child today."

"Why don't you quickly apologize to Sister Lillian? Even if you just scolded Sister Lillian, as long as you kneel down and apologize to her, I will not only drive away the crocodile, but also rescue you immediately."

"You're dreaming. I, the Lady of Noble Birth, will never apologize to a vicious Housekeeper's daughter, even if I die, and I will never kneel down to a bitch like her."

"In that case, then go and die!"

Adrian was irritated by my toughness and his eyes became extremely ruthless.

But his raised hand never fell.

Lillian came forward and said, "Brother Adrian, you must not be soft-hearted at this time, otherwise, you will be bullied by Isabella for the rest of your life."

"It's fine for me, a Housekeeper's daughter, to be bullied by Isabella. But how can a man as outstanding as you be controlled by a domineering woman like Isabella for your entire life?"

Adrian sighed slightly, "Although Isabella did many things wrong, she was indeed good to me in the past, and she is pregnant with my child. I can't do anything too harsh..."

"Brother Adrian, didn't we agree long ago that we're only going to scare Isabella today, not really hurt her. The weather in the Underground Cistern is so cold, the crocodile will stop moving after swimming a few times, and it won't really eat Isabella and Brother Adrian's future child."

Adrian asked again: "Sister Lillian, are you sure that crocodile will not really eat my wife and her unborn child?"

Lillian's eyes flashed with a cunning look, "Of course, Brother Adrian, when have I ever lied to you?"

"In that case, I'll scare your sister-in-law."

Adrian's hand finally dropped.

The barbed wire between me and the crocodile slowly fell down.

The crocodile swam towards me at an accelerated speed and bit my calf hard.

"How could this happen, Lillian? Didn't you assure me that the crocodile would sink after a few movements in cold water? Why did it bite Isabella's calf now?"

Of course Lillian understood what was going on.

It was she who secretly injected a drug into the crocodile.

It allows crocodiles to remain energetic enough in cold water and become more bloodthirsty than usual.

She pretended to be innocent and said, "I don't know why this happened."

"Hurry up and save them. The one below is my wife and our Foster family's first child..."

"No!" Lillian stopped pretending. "Brother Adrian, you said you would vent my anger today. Isabella hasn't even knelt down to apologize yet. How can you save her so easily?"

"You have a large group of subordinates around you. If you go back on your word, you will definitely be looked down upon by the people in your own company. Isabella is so domineering. I stopped Brother Adrian from rescuing people just to vent your anger."

Although Adrian was anxious, he still listened to Lillian's words, "Isabella, you don't have much time left, hurry up and apologize to Lillian. As long as you apologize to her and Lillian has face and forgives you, I can arrange for someone to rescue you."
