Megan had just come out of a shop when her phone rang.

The caller was her foster mother Emily Johnson.

She hung up directly.

Johnson Holdings had just been exposed for producing low-quality toilet paper and was being investigated, which meant they would have to pay a hefty fine.

At a time like this, Emily was calling her. It couldn't be anything good!

While thinking this, Megan received a threatening message from Emily.

"If you want Hannah to be fine, answer the phone!"

Soon, the phone rang again.

Hannah was her foster grandmother, who was also Megan's weak spot.

She suppressed her anger and walked into an empty alley to answer the call.

"What's the matter?"

Emily ignored Megan's indifference and said arrogantly, "Our company is in trouble and needs a large amount of capital. You need to marry Myles to help solve the crisis."

"Although he is old, he knows how to take care of young lady. If you marry him, you'll live a luxurious life. It's a good deal."

After listening to Emily's shameless words, a cold smile appeared on Megan's face.

She used to be raised by Emily who thought she was her real daughter. At the age of seven, the Johnson family found out the truth and she was kicked out. Megan lost her surname and was cut off ties with the Johnson family.

Now they had nothing to do with her!

"Give this great opportunity to Sophie."

Myles was indeed wealthy, but he was an alcoholic who abused women and had promiscuous relationships. He was also an old bald man.

Emily knew Megan wouldn't agree, she became furious.

"You're just a worthless bitch. If you don't marry Myles, I'll cut off Hannah's treatment and let her die!"

When Megan was kicked out of the Johnson and couldn't find her biological parents, she had nowhere to go. It was Hannah who spent money to send her abroad.

It could be said that Hannah gave her life.

Emily knew very well that as long as she controlled Hannah, even if she asked Megan to become a prostitute, she would obediently comply.

Megan cared most about her grandmother. Seeing Emily using her safety as a bargaining chip, she clenched her hand holding the phone, and a hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

She wasn't afraid of the Johnson cutting off her grandmother's treatment fees, but she was afraid that Sophie would refuse to help her grandmother.

Her grandmother had a blood disease and needed regular bone marrow transplants, and Sophie happened to be a match.

With this in mind, she suppressed her anger and said, "I'll discuss this matter with you tomorrow."

Of course, she wouldn't marry Myles.

Reflecting on the current predicament of the Johnson, Emily's tone carried a trace of impatience as she insisted, "We must discuss it now!"

The sooner the company's scandal is addressed, the lesser the damage will be.

Megan, however, firmly declined, "It's impossible. The earliest I can manage is this evening."

With grandmother advancing in years, her constitution has become exceedingly fragile following her illness. Consequently, her dietary needs require meticulous attention, and it is she who oversees every meal of the day.

Emily, worried that she was pushing too hard and Megan would regret, agreed, "Fine, this evening then."

Megan hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

She had to find a way to cure her grandmother's illness or find another bone marrow donor, otherwise, she would always be controlled by her heartless foster mother!

Megan was about to leave the alley when she suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

She wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's business, so she pretended not to smell it.

But before she could turn around, a man in a black suit stumbled towards her.

Megan quickly sidestepped, skillfully avoiding him.

However, the man grabbed her arm and used it to steady himself.

Looking at the bloodstains on her sleeve, her eyebrows and eyes filled with displeasure. Megan forcefully shook him off.

Joseph took a step back. Leaning against the rough wall, his bloody palm scraped.

He looked at Megan.

Her hair pinned up, and her bangs swayed gently in the wind.

Her delicate and exquisite facial features exuded the charm.

At this moment, her eyes narrowed coldly and fiercely, full of aggression.

"I'm sorry."

Just as Joseph finished apologizing, a group of men wielding iron rods and knives rushed into the alley.

The alley was blocked.

The group of menacing men didn't expect to encounter a young lady in such a secluded location.

After a moment of shock, a wicked smile appeared on their faces.

They didn't expect to come across such a beauty when they were about to kill someone.

"Hey, girl."

After saying that, the man at the front lifted an iron rod and swung it towards Megan.

In the eyes of these men, she was just a delicate girl who would only cry.

They could incapacitate her with unconsciousness then kill Joseph. After that, it's gonna be a night of erotic excitement.

Megan coldly watched the approaching men, a mocking smile appearing on her face.

Thinking that Megan was scared, Joseph pulled her behind him and kicked the man's wrist.

-

Bones shattered, and the iron rod flew out of his hand.

Joseph caught the iron rod and smashed it hard on the man's head.

Before the other men could reach them, he pushed Megan away.

"Run, don't look back. Call the police when you're safe."

He wouldn't involve innocent people.

After saying that, Joseph ignored his shattered wound and rushed towards the group of people who were trying to kill him.

Megan didn't leave.

She watched the man's attacking and defensive movements, and her eyes flickered.

It's military combat skills.

Watching the man who was willing to get injured to protect her, a scene from a long time ago flashed in her mind.

There was also a person like him who protected her with his life.

"The bad guys are coming. Run!"

She couldn't save him back then, but now she could save the man in front of her.

Megan took off the hairpin from her head. Her hair cascaded down, exuding a sexy and enticing aura.

She held the hairpin and rushed to him.

The assassin rushed towards her, too.

"Be careful!"

Just as Joseph shouted, the assassin's iron rod swung towards Megan's shoulder.

Megan dodged to the side. She grabbed the assassin's wrist and forcefully redirected the iron rod, which heavily hit his right shoulder.

The hairpin in her other hand was stabbed into his leg.

The sound of bones breaking and a piercing scream rang out simultaneously.

This sudden change happened in an instant. When the other assassin reacted, his companion had already fallen.

He immediately kicked towards Megan's waist, and the knife in his hand stabbed towards her heart.

Megan grabbed his ankle and twisted it hard.

With a crack, his ankle dislocated.

When the excruciating pain struck, the blood-stained hairpin pierced through the assassin's hand. His knife fell.

The next second, Megan's elbow hit his temple.

His vision went black, and he fell to the ground. He was convulsing, losing his ability to move.

No one expected that this young lady was such a ruthless character!

The remaining assassin, fearing that she would ruin their plan to kill Joseph, shouted, "Lady, I advise you not to meddle in this."

Megan curled her lips in a cold smile.

She hadn't planned to interfere, but these people had ill intentions towards her first.

Now that they knew she wasn't easy to mess with, but it's too late.

"I've already in!"

The leader shouted, "Kill Joseph Martinez first!"

Hearing the name, Megan was surprised for a moment.

She didn't expect that the bloodied and unrecognizable man in front of her was the richest man in Sledeshly.

Seeing Joseph being surrounded and gradually losing ground, she rushed forward.

The sound of wailing filled the narrow alley, but soon it returned to silence.

Megan wiped her hairpin clean. She tied up her loose hair and was about to call the police.

Joseph held her phone with his bloody hand and weakly said, "Don't call the police. Call 158******."

Just as he finished speaking, his vision went black. He fell into Megan's arms.

Megan instinctively wanted to avoid him.

But at the last moment, she still caught him.

Hannah's blood disease was caused by a viral infection.

Bone marrow transplantation can only temporarily save her.

An antique ring called "Dragon Seal" contained a pill that could cure all poisons. Perhaps it could cure Hannah.

That ring had appeared in the city before, and Joseph might be able to help.

With this in mind, she took this blood-soaked man away.

As for the killers in the alley, she believed that Joseph's people would soon come to solve them.

Her apartment was near.

To avoid surveillance cameras, it took her nearly twenty minutes to bring Joseph to her place.

After throwing the man onto the sofa, Megan took out his phone from his pocket.

The phone had triple encryption and only one chance to unlock it. If the password was entered incorrectly, the phone would be locked.

Even for top hackers, decrypting it would be hellish.

But Megan only took five minutes to crack.

She dialed the number that Joseph had reported before fainting, and the screen displayed a person named Oliver.

The call was immediately answered, and an anxious voice came through.

"Joseph, where are you?"

Oliver was Joseph's assistant.

He was currently in the alley and couldn't find Joseph. He was almost driven crazy.

After Megan reported the address, she hung up the phone and checked Joseph's injuries.

He was seriously injured with deep knife wounds, and poisoned. The blood flowing out was dark red.

"Luckily you met me. Otherwise, by the time your people come to save you, you would have been a corpse."

Megan took out a leather bag from the drawer of the coffee table.

Inside were a row of silver needles of various lengths, emitting a cold and chilling light.

She took out a few and quickly pierced them into Joseph's chest, maintaining his heart pulse.

The needles that entered the skin were faintly black, indicating strong toxicity.

She carefully examined Joseph's symptoms and knew what kind of poison he was suffering from.

This poison was not difficult to cure, but it acted too quickly, and there was usually not enough time to cure it.

There were no herbs for detoxification in her apartment, so Megan made a phone call.

"I need snow lotus core and poria cocos. "

A worried male voice came from the receiver, "Boss, are you poisoned? Is it serious?"

"Not me. "

"I'll be there soon."

After ending the call, Megan removed the silver needles and treated Joseph's external injuries.

To facilitate bandaging, she took off his shirt directly.

He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an eight-pack abdomen, very well-built.

She didn't have time to appreciate it and focused on cleaning the wounds and applying medicine.

Joseph was not only injured on his upper body but also on his legs, in an awkward position at the root of his thigh.

Megan used scissors to cut off his pants and pulled up his black boxer to bandage the wound.

His boxer was slippery, and she accidentally touched his certain place.

Then she noticed a change in that area.

So sensitive?

Megan awkwardly averted her gaze and focused on the wound.

The wound was extending to the inner side of the thigh.

To facilitate cleaning, she lifted Joseph's leg and placed it on her shoulder.

Perhaps the movement was too big, the sudden intense pain woke up Joseph, who was in a coma.

Due to excessive blood loss, his consciousness was a bit blurred, but his feelings were surprisingly clear.

The root of his thigh was aching. Occasionally being touched, an electric current was spreading throughout his body.

An indescribable feeling. His body seemed to be on fire, making his breath extremely hot.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

What he saw was a woman's face.

He recognized she was the one who saved him in the alley.

She was focusing.

Her hair fell down, gently swaying with her movements.

Joseph felt his heart sway along with it.

But the next moment, his gaze moved downward and found the woman...

trying to take advantage of him!

He angrily sat up, but because his leg was resting on Megan's shoulder, he fell back down halfway.

When he fell, he grabbed Megan's arm.

Megan, who was in the middle of dressing his wounds, was caught off guard and fell into his embrace.

She immediately reached out to support herself to prevent falling.

As a result, she accidentally pressed on that unusual place.

A muffled groan came from above her head, and she instinctively let go. She fell into his arms, her rosy lips landing on his throat.

Joseph almost passed out from being hit.

After taking a breath, he angrily shouted, "Get away!"

The moment he spoke, Megan had already stood up.

She looked at the man with flushed cheeks and a violently heaving chest, mocking him with a raised corner of her lips.

Ungrateful.

"Why didn't you say it before? I shouldn't have brought you back, helped you dress your wounds. I should have let you die in the alley."

Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately looked at the injured area.

The freshly dressed wound was bleeding again due to his intense movement, staining the white gauze red.

His gaze lowered, falling on the root of his thigh. And he clearly saw the traces of iodine applied.

Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood her.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly just now. I thought you were... "

He didn't continue his words out of embarrassment.

Megan was amused.

"Joseph, even though you have a good figure, good looks, and plenty of money, you are not my type."

As she said this, her gaze moved downward, landing on his penis.

"Besides, I was just saving you and you're getting an erection?"

She could have said something even more offensive.

Her words made Joseph feel a bit embarrassed, and he instinctively covered his private area with his leg.

"To apologize, I can meet any of your requirements."

Megan was a straightforward person.

She said frankly, "The reason I saved you is that I need your help."

Her honesty made him appreciate her.

"Within my capabilities, I won't refuse."

"I need you to help me investigate..."

Before Megan could finish her words, the urgent doorbell interrupted her.

Oliver shouted, "Joseph, are you inside?"

Joseph recognized Oliver's voice and said to Megan, "That's my assistant. Thank you for contacting him."

Megan went to open the door.

Oliver was sweating profusely, "Miss, were you the one who contacted me with Joseph's phone?"

Megan nodded, "He's on the sofa."

Oliver immediately walked through the foyer and saw Joseph sitting on the sofa.

Seeing that Joseph was alive, Oliver let out a sigh of relief.

"Joseph..."

Oliver had just spoken when Joseph interrupted him.

Joseph's eyes were full of vigilance as he asked Megan, "Did you use my phone to contact Oliver?"

There were very few people who could unlock his phone password.

Who was she?

While checking his phone, he sent a message.

"I want all the information about this girl. "

This was the first time he had investigated someone who was not important.
