Chapter 27
“Go back with you?How did you treat Zelea before and now you still have the audacity to appear by her side?”
Dion’s face darkened,his whole body exuding an aura that warned others to stay away.
Behind him stood more than a dozen bodyguards,creating a clear distance between them. Carol,used to being arrogant in the country,couldn’t accept being treated this way. Just as she was about to question him,she was stopped by Tyson,who gave her a look.
He directly told her that the young man in front of them was no easy character.
“Zelea was once our daughter–in–law and now my son has reformed and wants to bring her back. This is a family matter and it seems it’s not for outsiders to interfere with.”
Dion gently comforted Zelea,his eyes so gentle that it seemed like they might overflow.
But when he turned to Jook at the Gritorn Family,a cold,murderous aura replaced his warmth.
“This is my territory.I advise you to leave as soon as possible.”
As soon as those words were spoken,all the bodyguards immediately took action. The gleaming guns frightened the two of them to the point they almost wet themselves.
“Zelea,are you hurt?”
Dion carefully and nervously examined her. When he saw that she was covered in Luke’s blood,only then did his worried heart finally settle.
“He took you away like this. I’ll make the Gritorn Family pay the price!”
Dionn acted quickly,immediately contacting his connections to have Luke forcibly sent back to the country. He also reached out to some domestic friends,deliberately tampering with the contracts of his company.
When Luke woke up again,he found his secretary reporting with a serious face. Upon hearing that the company had suffered a loss of 700 thousand dollars, he closed his eyes,unwilling to face this fact.
Luke’s injuries were severe and it took him a full hundred days to recover in the hospital.
During these days, he repeatedly refreshed WhatsApp every day,afraid that Zelea would block him.
Whenever his phone pinged with a notification, he would quickly open it,fearing missing any message from her.
It wasn’t until he saw her post about her engagement on her social media.
A loud crash echoed in his mind and everything around him seemed to spin,
How could Zelea suddenly get engaged?
Ignoring the nurse’s attempts to stop him,he forcefully pulled out the needle and attempted to flee away. But before he could go far,his muscles gave out and he collapsed onto the floor.
His secretary and his mother were startled by the commotion.
“Son,please let it go.She’s getting married. She doesn’t love you anymore!”

“Mom,don’t stop me!The invitation is fake.Zelea must be trying to make me jealous!”
He pushed his mother away forcefully,veins popping at his temples. He bit his lip tightly,trying to pull open the door to the hospital room.
His mother suddenly threw herself at him,tears streaming down her face as she cried out,“Luke, she already has someone she likes. The man behind him is not someone to be underestimated. They’re behind all of the problems your company is facing right now. We only have you as our son. How long are you going to be so stubborn?”
Luke’s eyes reddened and he forced himself not to cry.
She was right. The Gritorn Family only had him as their pillar.
“Mom,I’m not going.”
That was the last thing he said.
From then on,Luke became silent and aloof,speaking only when it came to business.
He locked himself in his study,never stepping out.
Everyone said he had finally returned to that cold and ruthless CEO,but only his secretary knew that something had slipped away with time quietly.
Three days before the wedding,the secretary placed a pill in front of him.“Sir,the’fake death’pil you asked for has been found.”
