Chapter 949
“Ms. Everheart.”
Chase chased after Renee, who looked rather emaciated and lonely from the back.
“What is it?”
“Are you really going to leave now?”
“Why should I stay here?”
“You should hurry up and stop Boss! He’s not joking, you know. No one else in Carmine Pawnshop—no, no one else in Beach City can stop him except you! If you leave now, then Mr. Q… no, then thatdevil Mr. Hunt will surely die!”
“Since you called him the devil yourself, then isn’t it right that he should die anyway?”
“You can say that,” Chase warned her with feeling, “but if he really dies, then he’ll really be goneforever. Won’t you be upset? Or rather… aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”
Stefan Hunt had always been Carmine Pawnshop’s deadliest enemy. Back then, when the two partieswere at war with each other, Chase was one of the main forces fighting against him, and he even hadhis leg injured by the Hunt family, an injury from which he still suffered long-term effects even now.Naturally, Chase also hated Stefan Hunt with a passion.
But when he remembered his interactions with Stefan Hunt in the past four years, he realized that theman was not as heinous as he thought. He definitely did not deserve to die so easily.
“Hmph, upset? Why would I be?”
Renee turned her back against the water prison and sneered, “Should I be upset that he’d played melike a puppet? Or should I be upset that he raised up my hopes, only to once again obliterate them intopieces? Or should I be upset that he gave up on me again and again?”
She had always been a woman with high self-esteem and pride. The first time she got hurt, she wasstill strong enough to lick her wounds and heal herself. But now that she was hurt by the same personagain and again, she would not just be pitiful if she forgave him again, but also pathetic!
“You’re right, Ms. Everheart. He should never have deceived you, but… what if he was forced to do it?No matter what, his love for you had to be real, or he would never have rushed here without hesitation,even though he knew full well that he was running headlong into a dead end, all just to keep you safeand sound.”
“That’s because he’s an idiot!” Renee gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening. “In that case, he’s gettingwhat he deserves!”
‘What a foolish man!’ she thought. ‘You should’ve known that it’s a trap! It’s none of my business thatyou just run into it like an idiot!’
“I have nothing more to say, Ms. Everheart. Just think about it yourself. I only hope that you don’t regretit later.”
After saying that, Chase heaved a long sigh and glanced at his watch before speaking in a tense voice,“By this point, the snakes, bugs, and rats should’ve all been released. If it had been someone else, wewould’ve heard them shouting and howling in pain, but this guy is still completely silent. He really is atough one!”
“…”
“And those creatures are no ordinary creatures, you know. The banded kraits would be the mildestones among them…”
“The… the banded kraits? Aren’t they venomous?”
Renee gulped. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps all over.
“They sure are! I hope they won’t bite him for no reason, but still… when the water gets hot, who knowswhere it will go to hide away from the heat? And when the acid is added…”
“Stop it!”
Renee’s heart was thumping in her chest like a drum. She wished she could just ignore her conscienceand walk away, but her legs were as heavy as lead, and refused to move no matter what.novelbin
“Aaaaaaah!!!!”
Just then, Stefan’s tormented wail rang out from the water prison.
