Chapter 164
Abby was really touched. Jonathan actually remembered she hadn’t had dinner and saved some food for her.
But as Abby looked closer at what Jonathan had brought, her face changed significantly. It was the snake egg she had hidden under Cynthia’s bed.
Abby’s face turned pale with fear. It felt like her whole body was reaking with terror. She looked at Jonathan uncertainly. “Jonathan, what does this mean?”
Jonathan’s face was cold. He didn’t hold back. “You should eat this, and we’ll forget about you hiding the egg under Cynthia’s bed. If not, I assure you you’ll be trending online tomorrow.”
Abby’s face turned white. She always wanted to trend, but definitely not like this. If people in the live room found out she had deliberately hidden a snake egg under Cynthia’s bed, her life would be completely ruined.
But she really couldn’t bring herself to eat the snake egg. Just thinking about it made her stomach churn.
Jonathan remained calm;
need to trust my caps tone was also mild. “Of course, this kind of behavior is considered attempted murder. You
need to trust my capability to ensure you spend your entire life in prison.”
Now, Abby’s expression showed not just disgust but immense fear. She hadn’t expected the consequences to be so serious, yet she still felt a sense of unwillingness.
She thought, ‘Why does everyone protect Cynthia?” “Jonathan, you obviously don’t get along with Cynthia either, so why are you shielding her like this?”
Jonathan’s voice was as calm as still water but as cold as ice. “The matters between her and me are not for you to interfere in
Abby cried, “Even though I was the one who put the snake egg under Cynthia’s bed, I didn’t expect the snake to actually appear. I just wanted to play a prank on her.”
Jonathan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “And I’m just kidding with you now, come on, eat it.”
Abby watched as Jonathan held the snake egg, her head shaking like a bobblehead. “Cynthia didn’t get hurt at all, and she even hit me. Look at my face; it feels like she could have broken every bone in my body.”
Abby started to plead, “Please spare me this once, Jonathan. I know I was wrong, and I won’t dare to do it again. Haven’t I been punished enough?”
Jonathan stood up and took a couple of steps towards Abby. “Right now, it’s just the snake egg. If you hesitate a few more seconds, I’ll make you eat the snake too. I have my ways,”
Abby looked into Jonathan’s cold, calm face. He was undeniably handsome, almost like a god. However, there was a calm madness about him now.
She could also feel a quiet yet intense anger radiating from him. It seemed more terrifying than a storm, as if, at any moment, he could crush her like an ant.
Abby took hesitant steps backward, but Jonathan pressed on with each step. She realized there was no way she could overcome today’s challenge.
Jonathan was like a calm lunatic, instilling fear in her, unlike anything she had felt before. It was even more terrifying than when Cynthia almost broke her bones.
Abby focused on the snake egg in Jonathan’s hand, steeling herself. She snatched it, closed her eyes, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it whole.

thin but hard shell covered it. She swallowed too quickly,
No matter how hard she tried to swallow, it wouldn’t go down. Abby instinctively grabbed her throat, trying to cough it up, but she just couldn’t.
As time passed, Abby’s face turned a bluish–purple from suffocation. She couldn’t breathe at all.
She rolled on the ground, her eyes bloodshot, looking like they were about to pop out of their sockets,
She rolled on the ground, silently pleading with Jonathan. Abby wanted to scream for help, but no sound came out.
Eventually, she lay still like a dead fish on the shore. Jonathan hal timed it perfectly.
Finally, he glanced at his watch, frowned with disdain, and crouched down beside her. He picked up a coconut and thumped her hard on the back.
Court.
Maybe it was the pain or something else, but Abby, who had fainted from lack of oxygen, suddenly opened her eyes. The snake egg that was stuck in her throat made a gulping sound as if slipped down.
She sat up, taking deep breaths of fresh air. The purplish–black color of her face gradually gained a little color, but it was still somewhat ashen.
She had almost died. Abby sat on the ground, looking up at Jonathan standing in front of her.
“Abby, if you ever do anything to hurt Cynthia again, I’ll make sure you can’t live or die peacefully,” Jonathan said.
At that moment, Abby seemed to realize something. Jonathan, the person you like is…”
Her throat felt painfully raw as if slashed with a knife. Suddenly it dawned on her. Jonathan wasn’t interested in Nina but in Cynthia.
She had never seen an expression like that on Jonathan’s face before. Such intense emotion, like an irritable flood.
He never had this for Nina. His relationship with her was more like the care of a senior to a junior.
But when it came to Cynthia, his eyes would shine differently. It would drive a typically composed gentleman to madness and fill a normally restrained person with the desire to possess.
Jonathan really liked Cynthia. But she couldn’t get the words out because his gaze was as cold and sharp as a blade.
It felt like he might slit her throat any second. At that moment, Abby was genuinely terrified.
“Get out!” Jonathan said.
Abby scrambled away in panic. Nearby, Alex and Nina witnessed the scene.
Nina felt weighed down. Too much had happened tonight.
Alex suddenly spoke up. “So it turns out Jonathan likes Cynthia
That sentence cut into Nina’s heart like a knife. She saw it too.
Nina was still trying to convince herself. “Jonathan doesn’t like Cynthia; they can’t stand each other. Alex chuckled, “Have you ever seen someone who hates another person defend them like t
Alex looked at Nina and asked, “Nina, how long are you going to keep fooling yourself?”

Nina’s eyelashes fluttered gently: her eyes filled with tears. She her lip and remained silent.
Alex suddenly grabbed her hand, “Nina, I’m the one who truly likes you. As long as you accept me, I promise you won’t be wronged.”
A hint of slyness flashed in Alex’s eyes. He had made a bet with someone to win Nina over in three days. It’s only been one day, and he’s almost succeeded.
