Chapter 559 - Backstabbing Each Other

The nurse stepped forward and opened the door. "Can I help..."

Outside the door was a young woman wearing sunglasses and a white jacket. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look innocent and calm.

Right, she was Milia!

"I want to see my teacher named William, is he awake?" Milia was very polite. She was seen carrying a basket of fruit in her hands.

The nurse nodded honestly and turned away. "He's awake now, please come in."

Milia entered the door carrying her fruit basket. She looked at the VVIP ward with a bit of an envy in her eyes.

She came from a poor family and she had never seen such a luxurious room.

Even if she lived in her own place, the size might not even reach half of the ward.

She smiled and took off her sunglasses. Then she looked at William who was lying on the hospital bed and said, "Teacher, how is your health?"

William did not answer, he looked at the nurse and said hoarsely, "You go out first."

The nurse nodded and when she walked out of the ward, she forgot to properly close the door and so there was a small gap left.

When her footsteps slowly faded, Milia looked back at the door then walked forward and locked it.

William looked at her action with a scoff. "You are very careful indeed."

Milia pulled up a chair and sat beside his bed. The ward was very hot, but she didn't seem like taking off her jacket anytime soon. Instead, she tightened the zipper at the neckline.

She saw William's mocking gaze and chuckled disapprovingly. "You should know that I don't want naughty ears to eavesdrop on us,"

William just hummed coldly, his posture while lying on the bed made him uncomfortable and it looked funny.

But his spine was injured and the doctor told him not to move, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Thinking of his injury, William's face looked grim. "Was it purely coincidental or a planned error this time? What I wanted was a minor injury, not a spinal injury!"

Of course, William participated in the planning of the entire accident.

Scratching his skin or having a small wound meant nothing to him, but he did not expect that he would end up getting hurt so badly.

Milia squeezed the edges of her glasses tightly. She slightly lowered her head and blocked her expression. "Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Those people already ran away after taking their money. Now, even if we wanted to go after them, we wouldn't be able to find them."

William choked his breath, his sharp eyes were on Milia. "Are you sure this isn't one of your tricks?"

"Teacher!" Milia looked at him in shock. "You think I'd hurt you like that? How could I benefit from that?"

Even though she didn't tell the truth, she didn't expect William to be so badly injured.

She asked her accomplice to install steel bars on the backdrop board.

She wanted to hurt Lilia, but she didn't tell William about it.

In fact, she hoped William wouldn't have time to move. Milia hoped that that piece of steel could pierce Lilia's heart.

Even if she didn't die, at least she'd be gravely injured, and what a great amusement it could've been!

Milia hated Lilia with passion. The night she and Harold got together, she could only hear the man call Lilia's name and not hers. Milia  gritted her teeth with hatred as she realized the truth.

Why did that man have to compliment another woman in front of her?!

What's so great about an international supermodel?

The facts proved that Milia's appearance in public was no worse than Lilia's.

She liked Harold and wanted to be with him, but Lilia was in their way so she had to get rid of her.

Milia used to be a nobody from a lower class, but her innocent appearance was her advantageous weapon.

She had grasped a lot more than all the methods of deception. And so Milia lived upon 'practice makes perfect!'

William gasped for a moment. As the pain in his back eased, he squinted at Milia. "I hope what you say is true and that you have no other intention behind it."

Milia didn't care about his threat. "If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself. Besides, if you doubt me now, why would you hold my hand when we are in the capital?!"

The two of them decided to plan all of this at the event in the capital.

In order to get to Lilia, William was forced to do this. However, Milia didn't tell him the truth.

This man also didn't know that the Ricardo family was behind this girl.

When Milia thought of this, countless anger surged within her eyes.

These three days were such a horrible nightmare for her.

She just got out today. Thanks to Alfred's 'gift', she had suffered so much humiliation and cursed that man inwardly.

But apparently, she might not know that Ricky had approached her.

Coincidentally, they both had the same goal.

Since that man did something cruel to her, Milia would no longer follow Alfred's words.

The third master of the Ricardo family could also give her what she wanted.

At this time, her mind surged and William was also closely watching Milia's every move.

William was an actor of professional class, he had studied the expressions and behavior of characters.

This woman was definitely not telling the truth.

William muttered the corner of his mouth faintly, trying to gain Milia's trust by retreating, but he was still too soft.

In the small room inside the ward, the two people who worked together fell silent with different thoughts.

Until finally….

Milia thought of something out of a sudden. She took the cellphone out of her pocket proudly. "Teacher, the news of your loss of leg function, I have spread it online. I have used up my 15 million. This money..."

"I'll call you," William's eyelids drooped slightly. "I know you're tired, you can go."

Milia pulled the corner of her mouth, put on her sunglasses again, got up and walked to the door.

One second before she opened the door, she didn't forget to look back and said in a triumphant tone. "Teacher, your feet ... Do you need me to find a doctor for you?"

If she wanted to help heal his leg, maybe she should shut the hell up first.

William turned to the other side. "No need."

Milia didn't say much, she opened the door and left the ward.

Now that the man had lost his leg, it seemed like he would be useless in the future.

William wasn't very useful anymore and it didn't matter if they decided to cooperate or not.

Milia left the hospital with a pleasant expression, but in the ward, William turned his head and looked at the door again after the girl had left.

She really was a stupid one!

The corner of her mouth grinned. Her feet were under the covers, and she could clearly see her ankles moving.

It's a shame that Milia was too arrogant and never thought about anything in the first place. If William had really lost his leg, how could he still lie in bed so peacefully?

...

Milia came all the way from the hospital building to the parking lot. She looked around warily and quickly got into the Audi car.

The man driving, about forty years old, and the hanging stitch pattern eroded over the years made him look gloomy and cold.

"Sir, sorry to keep you waiting!" Milia looked like a well-behaved female student in front of Ricky.

He took off his sunglasses and showed those smiling eyes.

Ricky glanced at her, "Did he say something?"

Milia shook her head and answered honestly.. "I didn't say anything, I only conveyed small things. Sir, those who helped us at the venue didn't leave any traces, did they?"
