Annie’s eyebrows lifted playfully, "Sister, you said it yourself."
Anna was at a loss for words, "I... I was just... talking!"
She didn’t share many feelings with her husband.
From childhood, their father had instilled in them the belief that they were to bring benefits to the family, and Anna’s marriage was nothing more than an arrangement by her father.
After the initial passion, the two of them had long grown tired of each other, only putting on the appearance of a model couple in front of others.
The once Ambassador Rod had turned into a mere man, Rod. Such a man certainly no longer had the ability to command Anna’s respect.
When disaster struck, they each looked out for themselves. Selfish as the sisters were, they thought more about their own preservation.
This affair had started because of her, and now her husband was no longer capable of protecting her, even treating her this way; at this moment, all she felt towards her husband was anger and disgust.
"I’ve said all I can say; it’s up to you to decide!"
Annie left these words behind and turned to go upstairs.
Seeing her ascend, Jack immediately stepped forward and grabbed Anna’s arm.
"We must make a decision!"
Jack raised his hand to cradle her face, "If he dies, we can be together forever."
Looking into his eyes, Anna’s wandering gaze gradually became cold and clear.
"What... what should we do?"
Jack’s gaze turned icy, "Kill him, and then lay all the blame on him."
"Don’t forget, he... he’s a soldier!"
Jack sneered, "Exactly, so he has always been stupid, in everything... he will listen to me! Pour a drink, I’ll take it to him."
Jack took out a medicine box, flipped it open, and gently shook out some sleeping pills for her to see.
Anna hesitated, then turned to pour a drink, bringing it back to Jack, who took out two pills and dropped them into the drink, stirring until they dissolved.
"I’ll take it to him now, you watch Jerry, don’t let him mess things up!"
They both went upstairs, Jack carrying the glass into Rod’s study, while Anna went to her son’s room. Seeing Jerry peeking around the door, she immediately pushed her son into the bedroom.
"Sir." Jack entered the study, closed the door behind him, and seeing Rod standing on the balcony, frowning, he quickly approached, setting the glass and bottle on the table, "Actually... The lady didn’t mean to, after all, Jerry suffered such an insult, as a mother, it’s understandable!"
"Idiot!" Rod cursed quietly, "I warned her not to provoke Huangfu Jue again, that stupid woman, she just won’t listen." He turned, shouting angrily, "Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to get to this point?"
"Of course, I understand very well." Jack handed him the glass, "You needn’t be too disheartened though. With your abilities and the influence of your wife’s family, you will surely rise again."
Taking the glass, Rod shook his head in distress, "I can’t even imagine what the days ahead will be like; Huangfu Jue certainly won’t let it go."
With his heart weighed down by worry and anger, he lifted his right hand to his lips and downed the liquid in one gulp.
Jack had been by Rod’s side for six years, and Rod had always considered him a confidant. Little did Rod know that this man had long ago planted a verdant field of grass on his head, and now was after his life as well!
Jack poured another drink for him and one for himself, and as they drank together, he continued to offer words of comfort.
