Chapter 98 I Want You to MarryAs soon as Allison finished talking, someone started clapping from the shadows nearby. Felix saw the guy's face and yelled, "Mr. Eaton!" Allison was a bit taken aback too. She hadn't expected the person looking for her to be Howard Eaton. But given her past run-ins with him, it wasn't all that shocking.
"Gaia, long tno see!" Howard stepped into the light. He had deep-set eyes, smooth fair skin, and striking blue eyes framed by golden hair. However, he looked intimidating and unapproachable. This guy was notorious, an internationally known aristocrat from a small country, infamous for his decadent lifestyle, having hurt a lot of people.
His private estate, Eaton Manor, was a playground for all sorts of debauchery, all masterminded by this twisted guy.
"Mr. Eaton, long tno see!" Allison's voice was ice-cold. She couldn't stand Howard.

Allison glanced at Sabrina lying on the ground, and Howard quickly got the hint. "Gaia, don't worry, this lovely lady will be fine. There's a yacht by the shore with a top-notch operating room, perfect for you to work your magic." Allison took a deep breath. Howard was like a venomous snake, waiting for her to fall into his trap. But for her friend's sake, she had to go through with it.
"Lead the way!" Allison said, and Howard was thrilled. He walked over and offered his arm, and Allison took it as they moved forward.
Someone ahead held a light to show the way. Howard had set up a table and chairs on the beach, surrounded by darkness. A long table with a bouquet of roses in the middle gave off a creepy vibe instead of a romantic one. She thought, 'He's definitely a real creep. Who has dinner in such a weird place at night, and chooses a fancy French dinner on top of that?' Allison sat down, keeping her face blank, and someone brought out Wellington steak as the main course. From the smell, Allison knew it was made by a Michelin chef, but she didn't touch the knife and fork.
"Why aren't you eating?" Howard asked.
Allison looked at him and sneered, "Mr. Eaton, do you wantto eat steak or bugs?" She then poked the steak with a knife, and a few small red bugs crawled out onto the plate. Just as she suspected, these were the bugs used to control Felix and the others.
"Gaia, you really are the smartest person I've ever met. If you don't eat these bugs, I can't let you use the operating room, and Sabrina will die soon! So, you'd better not refuse my request!" Howard urged.
Allison sneered, tossed the plate to the ground, and stormed toward him. A bodyguard tried to block her, but she grabbed a dinner knife and stabbed it into his shoulder.
As the bodyguard screamed, Allison reached Howard, pressing a fork to his throat. "Mr. Eaton, you must not knowwell. I don't take kindly to threats. If she dies, I'll make sure you're buried with her. Surely, your life is more valuable than hers, right?" Howard stared at her, his eyes filled with obsession. He suddenly grabbed her wrist, not caring that the fork was nearly piercing his carotid artery. "Gaia, if I could die with you, it would be my honor! Since you don't like steak, let's eat something else! Bring them all on board!" Howard wasn't mad at Allison. Instead, he admired her even more. She was brave, smart, and loyal, though he found such emotions foolish, he couldn't deny them.
On the yacht, Allison took Sabrina to the operating room while the others were locked up. Outside the operating room, only Howard remained.
Allison skillfully used the equipment to examine Sabrina, then decisively changed into surgical attire and started the operation all by herself. Even Howard's men were amazed amazed by her. "Mr. Eaton, this Gaia is truly a genius!" Howard smiled eerily. "Yes, she is indeed a genius. So she should belong to me!" Sabrina's condition was bad. Internal bleeding had caused a lot of blood to accumulate in her body, which needed to be drained immediately. Additionally, Allison found that her spleen was ruptured and infected. The lung wound was small, but the broken ribs made it tough to repair.

As she left the operating room, Allison almost collapsed, and Howard caught her, but she quickly pulled away. "Gaia, I mean you no harm. You can trust me!" Howard withdrew his hand, smiling at her.
Allison didn't appreciate it. She knew very well that Howard wasdangerous if she let her guard down, he would strike, killing her instantly. "What will it take for you to let us go?" Allison asked directly.
Howard continued to smile at her, speaking slowly, "Gaia, I want to marry you and have you as my wife!"
Allison clenched her fists. She had never hated someone so much om before. It was truly disgusting that Howard wanted her to marry him. Didn't he realize what kind of reputation he had? Allison was puzzled but refused outright, "Impossible!"
"Then you're doomed. Gaia, once you're on my boat, you have no m choice. Either marryme, or watch everyone you care about die in front of you. I'll give you a day to think about it!" Howard said angrily.
