Chapter 306 Who Are You?
"Do you know me?" Milly peered at Scarface with interest and asked.
Scarface squinted, a sharp look of lethal intent visible. "You're not worthy of knowing
Know her?
It extends beyond mere recognition.
George closely monitored the actions and whereabouts of this woman, even assigning him to covertly safeguard her for a period.
At first, he didn't pay it much mind, given her favour with George. As long as it didn't disrupt their plans, they could tolerate her presence.
However, surprisingly, a few days ago, George suddenly chose to return to the country during the intense conflict between the Ghost Sect and Shadow Palace. In such a precarious situation, leaving the Shadow Palace unprotected to go home would surely attract the Ghost Sect's notice, possibly risking his life.
As expected, despite their extensive preparations, a vulnerability persisted. They were ambushed by the Ghost Sect last night, causing George to suffer severe injuries and lose consciousness.
It was all because of the woman standing in front of him. If not for her, George would still be safely guarded by the Shadow Palace. How did it come to this?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She dared to approach Master. Ha! Such audacity!
His hostility was too evident for Milly to overlook, but she decided against probing into the reasons for his resentment towards her. She was eager to meet George. "Is George here?" she asked.
Scarface's eyes radiated a chilling blend of coldness and a faint smile. "Go away!
Her earlier assumption was now validated-George was indeed inside.
The anxiety and irritation that had been building inside her finally peaked, and she boldly confronted. Scarface, who was obstructing her way, "Step aside!"
Even though Scarface loomed over her, her attitude projected more fierceness and authority.
Tension filled the air heavily, with neither willing to give ground.
In an instant, before anyone could respond, a wave of intense hostility crossed Scarface's face, his hand already clutching Milly's neck firmly.
"You're seeking for death!"
The earlier altercation with Jett had sapped most of Milly's energy, and now, overwhelmed with concern for George, she felt herself being strangled before she could respond. His grasp was firm, and despite her efforts to break loose, Milly fought to free herself, her breathing becoming strained.

Danny, now fully attentive, intervened promptly, grasping Scarface's wrist to stop him. "Scarface, let her go. Do you comprehend the consequences of your actions?"
"I am fully aware. Had it not been for her, would Master be in this condition? Should we, of the Shadow Palace, retreat from the Ghost Sect? It is all due to her, and today, I must impart a lesson!" Scarface retorted with grim determination.
Witnessing Milly's pale countenance, Danny became agitated. "Have you lost your senses? Do you not realize who she is? Do you know how much Mr. Tate values her? Even if she has made mistakes, if at all, Mr. Tate has not passed judgment. Do we have the authority to act?"
Why were these typically sharp and perceptive individuals now behaving so rashly, as though they had lost all reason?
It was understandable for that foolish Jett, but how could Scarface, usually so composed and decisive, also lose his composure like this?
Emerging from the Shadow Palace himself, he was intimately familiar with these men, having endured countless trials together. Loyalty was their creed, their devotion unwaveringly fixed on George, ready to exact retribution at a moment's notice.
However...
The situation extended far beyond mere revenge. It delved into George's intimate affairs, with Milly poised to become their future madam. Did any of them truly possess the sagacity to act in Mr. Tate's best interests? Wasn't this seeking death?
At this moment, Scarface's eyes blazed with murderous rage. He was beyond listening to anything Danny said. "Master has been unconscious because of her. For that reason alone, I could kill her a thousand times over! Today, I must kill her, even if Master awakens later and orders my punishment afterwards. I will accept it!"
His grip gradually strengthened once more.
"You really are...!! This infuriated Danny to the point of speechlessness. Recognizing his loss of control, Danny hurriedly tried to loosen Scarface's grasp. Yet, Scarface's expertise in martial arts surpassed Danny, a feeble intellectual, leaving him powerless in comparison.
In desperation, he shouted at the subordinates nearby, "Why are you standing idle? Hurry, pull him away!"
However, the surrounding group, wearing identical impassive faces, remained motionless as if deaf to his plea. It was evident they backed Scarface's deeds in that instance.
"How dare you all!"
As Danny neared to explode with anger, a senior doctor in a white coat stepped out of the ward, stating, "Family members need to sign here. The patient has regained consciousness. You may enter to see him now, but not all at once to maintain proper airflow."
It wasn't certain if the doctor was accustomed to chaos, but he stayed calm upon encountered the dramatic scene when he opened the door.
Danny ignored the others and promptly raised his hand, declaring, "Doctor, I'm a family member, I'll sign."
Scarface, hearing this, abandoned thoughts of revenge. He shoved Milly aside and rushed straight into the. Chapter 306 Who Are You?
room.
Despite his urgency, Danny remained composed. After swiftly signing the document, he assisted Milly to her feet, his gaze filled with concern as he observed her pallid complexion. "Ms. Milly, do you need to go for a check-up?"
Milly took a deep breath, steadied herself, and whispered gently, "I'm fine."
She pushed the door open and
stepped inside. Danny hurriedly followed, anxious that Scarface m might harm Milly in George's
presence, contemplating the need to find a place to bury himself if things took a dire turn.
Inside the ward, George appeared pale, adorned with various tubes and instruments, his head swathed in bandages. His eyes were half-closed, suggesting he had recently awakened and appeared exceedingly weak.
Unaware of what Scarface had informed him, George simply nodded weakly.
His attention then shifted to Milly, who had just stepped into the room.
Milly caught his gaze, her eyes filling with tears instantly. She had imagined countless scenarios for their reunion perhaps at an airport, maybe in an office, or even on a strange street-but never here. Her heart felt as though it had been pierced and twisted by a dagger, the pain dulling her senses. "George
Is it a long-lost reunion?
Rather, it's more like a regained loss.
But, in the next moment, the man's thin lips parted, asking softly, "Who are you?"
