Devilish secretary - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 I will never forget what you did Chapter 128: Chapter 128 I will never forget what you did Grandma Bria’s lips quivered, and a bead of sweat trickled down her temple.

Her once loud and Sharp voice was nowhere to be found.

Grandma Bria, despite the heavy and chilling aura in the room, refused to let herself be intimidated by someone she considered an insignificant orphan.

She straightened her back, her sharp gaze running up and down Lilith, dripping with arrogance and disgust.

“Clothes with no brands!” she sneered, her voice laced with venom.

“I heard your surname is Parker.

That’s your mother’s surname, isn’t it?

Tell the truth-you don’t even have a father, do you?

You must have grown up learning seduction skills from that woman!” She spat the words like poison, her disdain clear as she glared at Lilith.

Lilith’s face remained impassive, but her piercing blue eyes glinted dangerously.

The temperature in the room dropped even further.

But before Lilith could say or do anything, a sudden movement startled everyone.

Grandma Bria gasped as gray’s hand shot out, gripping her neck with terrifying precision.

Her eyes bulged in shock and fear as she stared into his face, which was void of any emotion, an expressionless mask hiding a storm of anger.

His dark eyes burned with rage, like a tempest barely contained.

Gray’s grip tightened slightly, his tall figure casting a shadow over the trembling old woman.

His voice, low and cold, held the force of a threat.

“That’s enough.” “Sebastian!” Ana gasped, rushing forward, but she froze in place when she saw the intensity in her son’s eyes.

Even Ethan, usually quick with a sarcastic comment, stood frozen in shock, his lips parted as he tried to process what was happening.

“humandoll,” Lilith said softly, her voice calm yet soft as she placed her hand gently on his arm.

Her touch seemed to ground him, and his grip loosened slightly.

But his eyes didn’t leave Grandma Bria’s terrified face.

“You… dare to insult Lilith,” he said, his tone so quiet and cold that it sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

“You dare to insult her mother.

You dare… to think you can disrespect what’s mine.” His words held a possessive intensity that made everyone in the wardroom understand just how much Lilith meant to him.

Even Grandma Bria, struggling for breath, seemed to understand that she had crossed a line she should have never approached.

“humandoll, let her go,” Lilith said firmly, her piercing gaze locking onto his.

“She’s not worth it.” For a moment, it seemed like he didn’t hear her.

But then, slowly, his grip on Grandma Bria’s neck loosened, and he stepped back, his hands trembling slightly as he clenched them into fists at his sides.

Grandma Bria stumbled back against the hospital bed, coughing and gasping for air as she clutched her neck, her frail body shaking from the effort.

She looked at her grandson with a mix of fear and disbelief, her once confident and arrogant self completely shattered.

Lilith’s arms wrapped tightly around her Human Doll, pulling him close as she whispered softly, “It’s okay, humandoll.

I’m here.” His body was tense, like a storm ready to break loose.

His dark, stormy eyes held a dangerous intensity that sent a chill through anyone who dared to meet them.

She raised her hand to the back of his neck, gently stroking him as she concentrated.

With a deep breath, she channeled her soothing energy, letting it flow from her fingertips into him.

Slowly, she felt his rigid frame start to relax, the storm within him calming like waves settling after a tempest.

“Good boy,” she murmured softly, her voice barely audible as she rubbed his back in a steady rhythm.

His breathing began to slow, his overwhelming aura dissipating.

Gray leaned down and placed a light kiss on Lilith’s forehead before standing up straight.

His jaw tightened as he turned his cold glare toward Grandma Bria.

The sharpness in his eyes made the old woman shift uncomfortably, her fragile frame seeming even smaller under his gaze.

Lilith remained silent, her movements calm and steady as she walked toward Grandma Bria’s bed.

The room was dead silent, the tension thick, and every pair of eyes followed her every step.

Grandma Bria’s eyes darted nervously between Gray and Lilith.

Her hands trembled slightly, she had always carried herself with authority, but now, faced with Lilith, she looked small and powerless.

Lilith moved to the right side of the bed, opposite where Sienna sat, clutching Grandma Bria’s left arm like it was her lifeline.

Sienna’s wide, uneasy eyes followed Lilith, unsure of what she was about to do.

Lilith bent down slowly, her face close to Grandma Bria’s, her piercing blue eyes locking onto the older woman’s terrified ones.

When she finally spoke, her voice was low and cold, each word clear and sharp, meant only for Grandma Bria to hear.

“I will never forget what you did,” she said, her tone sending a shiver down Grandma Bria’s spine.

The old woman froze, her heart pounding wildly.

Her eyes stayed on Lilith’s, and for a moment, she swore they weren’t Lilith’s eyes staring back at her, there was something else, something familiar.

A chill ran down her spine as her mind whispered the name she thought she’d buried forever.

Alice.

Lilith straightened up slowly, her calm expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Without a word, she turned and walked away, her steps confident and graceful.

But Grandma Bria couldn’t shake the fear coursing through her.

Her hands trembled, and her breathing was uneven.

Alice.

It had to be Alice.

She’s back.

Her thoughts spiraled, convincing her that somehow Alice’s soul had returned, perhaps taking over Sebastian and Lilith.

It was the only explanation for why he had choked her earlier.

Sienna, noticing the panic on Grandma Bria’s face, grabbed her hand.

“Grandma, are you okay?” she asked softly, trying to sound concerned.

Grandma Bria’s shaky eyes followed Lilith and Sebastian as they left the room, their presence leaving behind a cold, uneasy feeling.

Ethan and Rose walked out shortly after, with Rose glancing back once before disappearing around the corner.

Ana left next, letting out a quiet sigh, not sparing a single look at the old woman lying in the bed.
