Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 364 The room was suddenly filled with Tyler's horrendous screams.

Tyler trembled in pain, his whole body convulsing. Rapid, heavy gasps escaped his throat. With each breath, the pain pulsated in his temples, blood streaming down from his forehead. His vision turned blurry.

Terrified, he looked at Andrew, who was holding his head. Tyler’s voice was hoarse, yet he suppressed the fear and threatened, “You... If you don’t want anything to happen to Ashley, release me immediately!”

Upon hearing this, Andrew raised his lips and smiled mockingly, “Think you can threaten me, Tyler? How many lives do you believe you've got to play that card?”

Andrew narrowed his eyes, a bloodthirsty air emanating from him. grabbed

Without warning, he themer’s head again and smashed it into the iron-nailed wall beside them.

Abang echoed as Tyler’s face collided with the wall.

“Ah!” Tyler screamed once more, teeth falling out, blood splattering. His. right eye was pierced by the iron nail on the wall. His body, like a limp mass of bloody flesh, slid weakly to the ground.

The entire room was filled with Tyler’s pitiful and hoarse wails.

Blood and cold sweat flowed into his eyes. Tyler lay on the ground struggling to lift his head. His vision was so blurred that he couldn’t anything except the sinister and bloodthirsty smile on Andrew’s lips a demon from hell.

He thought, ‘This man...a demon. He is a demon!” Extreme fear and horror surged through Tyler. Ludicrously, he looked towards Valentin, hoping he could save him. However, the next moment, Tyler’s absurd notion shattered instantly.

The coldness in Valentin’s eyes was even more ruthless than Andrew’s. The chilling gaze seemed ready to tear Tyler apart, especially when Valentin heard him use Ashley as a threat.

Tyler was frightened and trembled all over. Gasping for breath, he desperately clung to his last lifeline. “You... If | die, Ashley will never wake

up!” 09 19 Chapter 364

At this moment, Joseph watched the bloody scene in astonishment, utterly unprepared for Andrew to almost kill Tyler without hesitation.

This guy is really... Joseph was horrified, swallowed hard, then furrowed his brows slightly. Even in this state, with Tyler being this brutalized, he was still trying to use Ashley as leverage. It seemed he wouldn't easily relent. What should they do?

What Joseph could think of, Valentin had already considered.

His expression was unusually dark in the dim and damp room. Suddenly, Valentin turned to Andrew, his tone devoid of emotion. “Let's cooperate.”

With these words, an eerie silence fell over the room.

Joseph and Colby, the subordinates brought by Valentin, and those on Andrew’s side all fell into shocked silence, doubting if they had misheard, their faces expressing disbelief.

Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, “My dear Mr. Kingsley, did | hear you correctly?”

Facing this strange address, Valentin remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on Andrew. “This is urgent. Let’s split up. One group searches Tyler’s residence, and the other stays here to interrogate him.”

Andrew nonchalantly sneered, “You’re commanding me now?”

Valentin’s brain worked like a precise machine. Recalling the info about Tyler he had investigated before, he coldly spoke. “There’s with Tyler’s residence. | need to go with a team to check. You stay and interrogate him.”

Upon hearing this, Colby widened his eyes, thinking, ‘This isn’t just commanding. Valentin had already assigned tasks to Mr. Banks!

‘Mr. Banks had long been fed up with his romantic rival, Valentin. Ho could he possibly listen to him?” Carefully glancing at Andrew, Colby saw his face looking extremely unpleasant.

He immediately tensed up, signaling his team discreetly, preparing for Andrew's orders to send his team to search Tyler’s residence.

However, the next moment, he witnessed Andrew gritting his teeth and reluctantly saying, “Listen to him!” 2/5

“What?” Colby was momentarily bewildered and shocked, and two seconds later, he nodded with a dazed expression. “Understood.”

He thought, ‘What’s going on? How could Mr. Banks listen to Valentin’s words?”

After Valentin finished speaking, there were no more unnecessary words. He turned and walked out of the room with complete trust in Andrew.

Joseph hurriedly followed with a face full of astonishment and wondered why Valentin trusted Andrew so much. After contemplating, he realized it was probably because Andrew stood. on the same side as Valentin regarding Ashley’s safety.

After Joseph ran out of the room, he could still faintly hear Andrew’s cruel, bloodthirsty voice, permeated with a sickening obsession with violence, echoing in the blood-scent-filled air.

“Tyler, do you want me to dismantle these 206 bones on your body one by one for you to see...”

Tyler’s residence was a standalone two-story building located in the suburbs. He had been living here since the second DNA test for Ashley.

Valentin ordered his subordinates to search. He also called in sever investigations and forensic experts.

Eventually, they discovered a hidden room on the first floor next t study. Upon opening it, they were greeted by a cold, white space fil with various medical instruments. On a central table lay a collection surgical knives, resembling a miniature medical laboratory.

“This is unbelievable. What does Tyler want to do?” Joseph exclaimed shock.

Despite the revelation, Valentin’s expression remained unchanged. Tyle was already skilled in medicine, and previous investigations had revealed that when he had stolen Ashley from the Pliskin family, he had even contemplated using little Ashley for human experimentation. This indicated that he had long been secretly researching something.

Valentin glanced around briefly. The hidden room was well-ventilated, and the fact that Tyler could enter and exit at any time indicated its safety.

09.20 Chapter 364 Valentin took out his phone and made a call.

Twenty minutes later, several senior medical research institute professors. hurriedly arrived, bringing specialized equipment with them.

After all, it was an invitation personally extended by Valentin, and they naturally did not dare to neglect it.

The lead professor, a white-bearded man named Richard Auriant, showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the small medical laboratory. However, after a thorough inspection, he shook his head and commented, “This place merely contains some medical equipment. There are no drugs worth making a fuss about.”

Furrowing his brows, Valentin responded, “Mr. Auriant, please take another look.”

Responding to Valentin’s request, Richard carefully examined the area again, shaking his head and saying, “Still nothing... Wait a moment! Here. There is residual yellow powder here!”

Other professors immediately gathered to observe.

Naturally, the group refrained from touching it directly with their bare hands, opting to professionally isolate and store the substance. It would require research and analysis to determine its exact nature.

At this moment, Valentin’s phone rang, and an unknown numb displayed. Without hesitation, Valentin slid the screen to answer.

The low, gravelly voice of Andrew came through. “It’s me.”

“| know,” Valentin replied.

Andrew clicked his tongue, expressing his annoyance, Valentin co predict everything about him like he understood him well. After a pause, he said, “Tyler confessed.”

Valentin tightened his grip on the phone. “What did he say?” as

Andrew responded, “On the day he dragged Ashley into the river, whil she was unaware, he used a specially crafted micro- needle to pierce he arm. The needle contained a dangerous drug he had collected and developed.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Valentin’s eyes darkened. The yellow powder residue they had found

moments ago was likely the dangerous drug Tyler had been researching. Suppressing his anger, Valentin’s voice turned cold. “Give Tyler a temporary reprieve.” Andrew sounded displeased. “Are you commanding me again?”

After a two-second silence, Valentin glanced at the phone screen and deliberately responded with a nonchalant “Hmm” before ending the call.

Andrew was speechless, thinking, ‘He dared to respond with a Hmm? ‘Damn it, he dared to do that?”

Watching Andrew’s irritated expression, Colby swallowed hard. No doubt, Valentin, his romantic rival, was the cause of it.
