Female Novel
Chapter 505 Take his life in exchange
Soon, Catherine broke the silence with a bold statement.
"You chose this man over my son?"
Martha turned her head and glared at Catherine, and scolded, "Let him go! Just come at me!"
"As soon as you marry my son, I'll let him go."
There was a sneer at the corner of Catherine's mouth, and she looked at Martha with sinister eyes.
When Martha heard this, she rejected her request without even thinking about it.
"Don't even think about it!"
When Catherine heard this, she smiled instead of anger. She folded her arms and looked mockingly at
the angry Martha.
"What right do you have to challenge me?"
Martha and Stefan was powerless in Z Country, while she was the Queen Dowager, so it was easy to
make each of them disappear.
Martha clearly read Catherine's mind.
They didn't have any power here to reveal Catherine's bad deeds. novelbin
Martha forced herself to calm down before asking coldly, "Aside from asking me to marry King
Ducasse, what purpose do you have?"
"I only want you to marry King Ducasse."
Catherine looked at Martha with a sneer, as if watching a dying prey.
Then she took a step forward and turned to look at the soundproof wall.
"Look at your ex-husband, how pitiful he is tied to the pole. As long as you are willing to marry King
Ducasse, how about I let him go back to his country?"
Martha pursed her red lips tightly and said nothing.
Martha remained silent while looking heartbrokenly across from Stefan who kept shaking his head
despite being covered in wounds.
She knew that Stefan didn't want her to marry King Ducasse, but... things had been out of their control,
was there any way out?
At this time, Stefan kept tightening his hands on his side.
Stefan felt every wound tearing apart painfully all over his body, but he knew he couldn't become a
bargaining chip for Catherine's blackmail against Martha.
Stefan kept shaking his head at Martha, signaling her not to agree to Catherine's request.
As far as he was concerned, he didn't care about the pain on his body, as long as she was well.
Catherine's pupils narrowed slightly, and her eyes became more and more sinister looking at the two of
them.
At the beginning, she and her husband loved each other so affectionately, but what happened to them!
Their good life was ruined by that bitch Elsie!
From today on, she would slowly impose what she had suffered on Elsie's daughter, Martha!
Thinking of this, Catherine looked at Martha with more gloomy eyes, and her voice became more
sinister.
"Have you thought it through? As long as you promise to marry my son, then he won't suffer here."
Martha clenched her teeth, her eyes fixed on the bruised man on the other side of the soundproof wall.
His eyes were fixed on Martha all the time, and he kept shaking his head at her, motioning Martha not
to compromise because of him.
After waiting for a while, Catherine still didn't get Martha's answer, a contemptuous smile appeared on
the corner of her mouth, she turned around and waved at the guard.
When the guard on the other side of the soundproof wall saw it, he immediately picked up the cane that
was put aside and continued to beat Stefan.
Stefan's face turned pale after being beaten, but his lips were still tightly pressed.
Even if Martha couldn't hear him, he didn't want her to worry.
"As long as you agree to be the queen, I will let him go immediately."
Catherine saw the distress in Martha's eyes, and took the opportunity to say with a sinister smile.
Martha looked at Catherine coldly, and said indifferently, "I don't believe you."
Catherine Queen Dowager shrugged mockingly, and a disdainful voice sounded in the dark room-
"I don't want to kill your ex-husband. All I have done is to have you be my daughter-in-law."
When Martha heard this, she was more suspicious.
She looked at Catherine suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you insist on letting me be your daughter-in-
law?"
Wouldn't it be better for the queen to be the Hoppers?
Why did Catherine choose her?
Catherine's eyes darkened, and then hatred welled up in her heart.
But now, she didn't mean to tell Martha, but gave an official explanation indifferently.
"You and King Ducasse have announced your marriage in front of the media reporters. You have to get
married even if you don't want to."
Martha frowned slightly, and the instinct told her that things were far from as simple as Catherine said.
She still didn't know the reason.
After a long while, Catherine didn't hear Martha's response, and smiled sullenly.
"Since you don't want wealth and status, let's make a deal with your ex-husband's life."
Martha stared at Catherine with anger and pain in her eyes.
"You're so heartless!"
Catherine's pupils narrowed slightly, and she sneered mockingly, "What is this compared to what your
mother did to me? I'm already being merciful."
Martha's hand on her side tightened, and her heart rose.
Martha clenched the hand at her side tightly, feeling her heart racing along with it. What did her mother
do to make Catherine Queen Dowager hate her so much?
When she regained her senses, she immediately started questioning Catherine about her mother.
"What did my mother do to you?"
Catherine's face sank, and there was mad hatred in her eyes.
She felt a pain in her heart, and looked at Martha with dark eyes, but she never answered the other
party's question.
Martha didn't hear the answer, and couldn't help being anxious-
"Did you kill my mother?"
Catherine smiled even more indifferently, her eyes were full of gloom, and she didn't intend to speak at
all.
In her opinion, even torturing Martha to death would not make up for the pain she suffered back then.
Martha didn't hear an answer which made anxiety rise inside of herself again.
At this moment, she realized that the gentle-looking queen was far more terrifying than she had
imagined.
Her eyelids drooped, and slowly she didn't ask her any more questions, because she knew she
wouldn't get any answers.
At this moment, Catherine's gloomy voice sounded in the dark room, interrupting Martha's thoughts-
"Martha, you only have three minutes to make a choice. Whether your ex-husband lives or dies is
completely up to you!"
