After Joey left, she turned to Angela.
“No matter what it takes, retrieve the pendant. Otherwise, you will no longer be my granddaughter!”
Angela’s eyes widened.
“Grandma, you…”
Hailey’s face darkened.
“You know what happened to Camilla!”
Angela had deceived Camilla.
Her face suddenly turned pale.
She hadn’t expected Camilla to be sent to Snorrek. After all, Hailey had always been amiable in her eyes.
Now, she feared that if she failed to retrieve the pendant, she would be sent to Snorrek to keep Camilla company.
At night,
Sandra prepared a bath for Wesley.
Good medicinal herbs were placed into the bathtub,
including the two purchased at the auction.
After about fifteen minutes,
he felt every cell in his body warm, and every pore seemed to open.
Gradually, he regained strength.
In the end, he felt refreshed and renewed.
Sandra began to give him acupuncture.
The temperature in the room continued to rise due to the bath, and Sandra began to sweat.
She was focused and gentle as she performed the acupuncture, her gaze determined and serious.
Wesley found her somewhat… captivating.
He couldn’t help but swallow.
Sandra noticed his hot breath and frowned.
“Mr. Cooper, stay focused.”
Wesley pressed his lips together.
That was a disappointment.
The urge to kiss her vanished instantly.
But he was surprised.
Throughout the years, except when he was unconscious and isolated from the outside world, he had many dealings with women at the Cooper Group.
He could always clearly see their desire for money. As soon as they got close to him, he could see through them.
It made him feel disgusted.
During that time, Joey thought he had developed a hatred for women and invited many psychologists to counsel him.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work.
But now!
Wesley couldn’t see through Sandra.
He felt quite frustrated.
He had been pursued by countless young women, yet it seemed like Sandra was unaffected by him.
“Sandra…”
“Your acupuncture technique is similar to Kate’s.”
Sandra didn’t deny it.
“A true friend will not pry into my personal matters.”
Wesley’s face darkened.
“So, you only want to be friends with me?”
Sandra casually replied,
“Mr. Cooper, it’s already good enough to have a friend. You shouldn’t be so picky.”
Wesley was dissatisfied with the answer.
Sandra began removing the needles.
Wesley wasn’t sure if it was deliberate or not,
but he was in unbearable pain.
“Sandra!”
Sandra felt him gritting his teeth.
She knew he was nearing his limit.
She smiled.
“You shouldn’t be so irritable. It’s painful now, but soon you’ll be grateful to me.”
Wesley sneered.
“Grateful? Grateful for her ill intentions and the pain that made him tremble?”
Sandra acted innocent, even saying deliberately,
“It’s always darkest just before the dawn.”
Wesley was speechless.
As all the silver needles were removed, he felt weak.
When he stood up in the bathtub, he could barely keep his balance.
Sandra stared at his waist and abdomen.
“Mr. Cooper, your figure is not as good as I imagined.”
Wesley could barely suppress his anger.
How could Sandra stare at him? Didn’t she feel embarrassed?
Despite being angry, Wesley glanced at his abdomen.
He began to doubt himself.
Was his figure really that bad?
Before becoming a vegetable, he used to work out every day.
Although he didn’t have six-pack abs, he was well-toned.
But now, he was mocked by Sandra.
Sandra even clicked her tongue.
“Honestly, your physique is not as good as the workers I see on the mountain.”
Wesley was furious.
He punched the water, splashing it everywhere.
Sandra looked at the steam rising from the wet ground and sighed helplessly.
“Now you’re even venting your frustration on water. Quite impressive.”
After saying that, she took two steps back.
Wesley emerged from the water.
And he wasn’t wearing anything.
He just stood there, naked.
Sandra remained unfazed.
She showed no emotion, as if she were used to it.
She didn’t even comment.
Wesley’s frown deepened.
He was so pissed off by this damn woman!
He would find a chance to get back at her!
He took a deep breath and slowly started putting on his clothes.
Sandra must have done it on purpose.
His acupoints still throbbed with pain.
As he put on his clothes, he felt as though he were being tortured.
“Mr. Cooper, you’re not even quick at getting dressed.”
A hint of disdain flashed across Sandra’s face.
Then she pointed at her watch.
“Does it really take this long to get dressed?”
Wesley was speechless.
