Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

Cole fell silent.

After eating the porridge, he remembered something. “By the way, are the Hayes and the Yeager families doing anything now?”

“Nothing.”

Cara replied, “They’re under the control of the Martial Alliance now. They didn’t do anything to the Williams family.

“However, just like before, we restrain them while they restrain us.”

Cole was silent.

“I’ve already gotten someone to suppress the media’s public opinion. I’ve found a few celebrities to divert their attention. It’s not as serious as it is now.”

Cara said.

“Okay.”

Cole nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go back first.”

After she finished packing, Cara stood up. “Have a good rest. I’ll wait for you.”

“Sure.”

Cole nodded slightly.

Then, Cara turned around and left the ward.

After she left, Cole sighed slightly.

Although Cara did not say anything, the fact that the two families were restraining the Williams family at the same time was enough to prove what was behind them.

This was the pressure of two big families!

At the same time, he was still thinking.

Although the media’s opinion was temporarily suppressed, his background and identity would sooner or later be used to criticize the Williams family.

Power!

He needed power.

Personal strength could not change anything.

As long as he had enough power and influence, he would be able to suppress the Hayes and the Yeager Families. It would be enough to stop the public opinion from saying anything.

Thinking of this, Cole closed his eyes.

He wanted to recover to his peak state as soon as possible.

But at this moment.

His phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

Cole reached out and opened the phone. It was a message from the landlord.

“Cole, please come back to the neighborhood immediately to deal with the reporters downstairs! They have already made my tenants unable to live normally.”

Cole’s expression changed when he heard his landlord.

Sh*t!

He knew that even if he was resting in the hospital, these reporters would not be idle.

They were probably going downstairs to surround him for an interview.

Cole took a deep breath and did not reply to the landlord.

His injuries had not healed yet, so he could not rush back now. Otherwise, there might be an accident.

He could only endure it now!

Then, he closed his eyes.

Healing was the most important.

***

However, less than half an hour after Cole closed his eyes, a figure sneakily walked into the room.

Cole immediately sensed it.

“Still not awake?”

The figure asked in a low voice.

It was Sara.

Hearing this, Cole opened his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Sara was shocked. “You, you didn’t sleep?”

“I just woke up.”

Cole said.

Sara’s expression turned a little unnatural. However, after thinking about it, she walked over and sat not far from Cole’s bed.

She just looked at Cole.

Cole was speechless.

“What can I do for you?” Cole asked.

Sara stared at him until his entire body went numb.

“I want to ask you how you managed to be kidnapped and revived.”

Sara said slowly.

Cole was stunned. “Why are you asking this?”

He had thought that Sara was here to interrogate him about his background…

He did not expect her to ask this immediately.

“My sister said you killed yourself, but you’re still alive, so I want to know if you lied to her.”

Sara said.

She did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point.

“Mmm.”

Cole pondered. “You can think of it as me faking my death.”

The Medical Oath was something that only a perfected Connate-realm martial artist could come into contact with, as well as the dragon energy in the dragon ring. These things were actually mysterious.

Cole thought that no one would believe him if he told the truth.

After all, that was a mysterious power that could disperse a person’s cultivation. It could only be removed at the cost of his life…

The dragon energy could save a person’s life.

If he said something like this, Sara, who had grown up in a world of science, would probably think that Cole was crazy.

“You really lied to my sister!”

Sara was furious.

Cole was speechless. “… Did I lie?”

Sara said righteously, “You could defeat the Guardian of the Hayes family and fake your death in front of so many people. This can already prove your ability.

“But you still pretended to be weak. You were trying to gain my sister’s sympathy.”

Cole was speechless.

Seeing that Cole was silent, the corners of Sara’s lips curled up slightly. “Am I right?”

“If thinking that makes you happy, you can think that too.”

Cole pondered for a while and said.

This made Sara furious. “Are you patronizing me?”

“No.”

Cole denied it.

Sara still wanted to speak.

But at this moment.

Hugh knocked on the door. “Mr. Stone, may I come in?”

“Sure.”

Cole nodded.

Hugh walked in, bowed, and said to Sara, “Miss Cara is calling you to go back now. There’s already a car waiting for you downstairs.”

He needed to protect Cole in the hospital, so he could not protect Sara too.

Sara was stunned. “I’m not done asking.” 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

“Miss said that she can’t let you continue asking.”

Hugh answered truthfully.

Sara was speechless.

She glared at Cole. “Did you ask my sister to ask me to leave?”

Cole shook his head. “I didn’t.”

However, Sara did not listen and walked out angrily.

She did not dare to disobey Cara.

After Sara left, Hugh bowed. “Mr. Stone, please continue to rest.”

“Okay.”

Cole nodded and suddenly said, “By the way, Uncle Hugh, I want to ask you something.”

“Please do.”

Cole pondered and asked, “What happened after I fainted?”

Hugh was stunned. He replied, “After Mr. Stone fainted, Alliance Master Xavier announced that the life-or-death battle was over. Miss and I went down to take you away. As for Simone Owens’s and Chris Hayes’s corpses, they were taken away by the Sky Sea Martial Alliance and transported back to the Hayes family.”

Cole frowned slightly. “Did Steve Hayes say anything before he left?”

When Hugh heard this, he paused for a moment and shook his head. “No.”

“Uncle Hugh, don’t hide it from me.”

Cole said seriously, “I know he will definitely say something.”

Hugh was silent for a while before smiling bitterly. “Miss told me not to tell you.”

“It’s okay, Uncle Hugh. You didn’t say it yourself. I accidentally heard it,” Cole said.

Hugh still wanted to refuse.

However, Cole said firmly, “Uncle Hugh, I will face these problems sooner or later. If you say it now, I will be mentally prepared.

“Besides, I want to follow Miss Williams. This can’t be avoided.

“You can hide it for now, but not forever.”

Hugh could only smile bitterly. “Miss was right to tell me not to listen to anything you say.”

Cole laughed.

Cara had really put in a lot of effort to let him recuperate without any pressure.

“Before Steve Hayes left…”

Hugh pondered for a while before saying slowly, “He told Miss that if you don’t die this time, the Williams will family face the anger of not only the Yeager and the Hayes families but also of Trent Wilson.”

“Trent Wilson?”

Cole was stunned. “Who is he?”

He had never heard of this name until now.

“Trent Wilson.”

Hugh pondered for a while. “He’s the most popular person in the country at the moment. He’s a war god with outstanding military achievements. His strength is extraordinary, and his reputation is widespread.

“He’s the same age as Miss, but he’s stronger than me.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Cole’s pupils constricted.

To be able to reach Hugh’s strength at the age of 35 was already outstanding.

If Cole had just left the mountain three years ago, he would naturally not be afraid.

At that time, he would’ve reached the fourth grade of the Connate Realm.

But it was different now…

The Medical Oath had restricted his strength.

“There’s something else…”

Hugh hesitated for a moment and said, “Trent Wilson has publicly expressed that he wants to marry Miss.”

Cole’s expression changed.
