Outside the window was an open expanse of hard concrete pavement.
The three-story building was much taller than a regular one. It was about 20 meters tall. If they survived the fall, the impact would leave them paralyzed.
After Marvin wiped out all of Melanie’s assassins, he rushed over to help Credence deal with her. However, he was too late.
He ran to the window and saw Credence fall with Melanie tightly wrapped around him. Marvin clenched his fists and slammed them on the windowsill, “Credence, I’m sorry, I was too late!”
He turned around and shouted at his subordinates. “What are you all waiting for? Get to the back of the building and save Credence!”
No one expected Melanie, that crazy woman, to do something like this. She would drag Credence down with her to their death. F*ck!
…..
As they were falling, Credence tilted his head and spat out some dust from his mouth. He stared at Melanie’s crazed face. There was a trace of cruelty and hostility in his eyes. “Did you really think that I’d just die with you like this?”
“Credence, so long as I am here, you’re finished!”
A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound on Melanie’s chest, causing her to go weak.
Nonetheless, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She used all her strength to dig her fingers into Credence’s waist, feeling his blood running down her fingers. “Credence, it’s a 20-meter drop. Even if I can’t kill you on the spot, you’ll be crippled. You’ll end up in a vegetative state just like your father! Ten years ago, I knocked you off a cliff with six shots, and now, I can still kill you before I die.”
Melanie used what little strength she had left in one of her hands to dig further into his flesh and bones. With her other hand, she pulled out the dagger that was stuck in her chest. She pointed the dagger at his neck and prepared to strike.
It didn’t matter what she fancied, it could be anything or anyone. The only thing that mattered was that it was hers, and hers alone.
She’d never allow Credence to be with a weak b*tch like Dorothy.
They were very close to each other. Credence tried to dodge but the sharp blade still managed to pierce the skin on his neck. A small trail of blood appeared and flowed down his neck.
Some of his blood splashed on Melanie’s face blurring her vision.
When she blinked, Credence quickly grabbed the dagger from her hand and stabbed her abdomen.
Credence had always been at a disadvantage against her. He despised her a lot and would not show her any mercy.
He gave the dagger several firm twists, lodging it deeper inside her.
“Ah!”
The pain was unbearable. Melanie couldn’t restrain herself from screaming out loud.
Her beautiful face instantly turned pale. It was now a mix of mottled blood and dust, it looked extremely ugly and dirty.
Credence had no pity for her. He pulled out the dagger, lifted it, and strangled her long and slender neck. He was extremely angry, “From the moment you forced me off that cliff, you should have expected this day. Let’s fight to the death and end this.”
“Cough cough!”
Melanie held her breath and felt her throat being slowly crushed. She stared at his charming face, a face she had not seen for such a long time, and sneered. “Credence, you’re determined to kill me for such a weak b*tch. Do you really have to do this? After being in the army and surviving all those missions for so long, I don’t care about success or failure anymore. Credence, it doesn’t matter if I die now. At least you will die with me! But if I’m dead, you will never know Dorothy’s true identity.”
“You don’t actually believe that Leilani, a woman more promiscuous than a prostitute would be her actual biological mother, do you?”
Credence felt a chill run down his spine. He slowly withdrew his hand and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I mean what I said!”
“Credence, you’re still so calm even when you’re falling down from a window. I knew you would’ve arranged an ambush. You were just waiting for me to take the bait! I trusted you to do so. I finally understand how you think!”
As he pulled back from Melanie, her throat tightened. Her face was terribly pale, even her lips were starting to turn white.
A long time ago, even though he didn’t like her flirting with him, he didn’t hate her either.
Among the very few women in the army, he only acknowledged her existence.
But now, he felt nothing for her apart from disgust.
He had given all his gentleness and love to Dorothy, not her!
The jealousy in her heart gave Melanie the will to resist all the pain that Credence brought upon her. She coughed and laughed out loud. “Credence, you deliberately took those photos in the hospital and spent so much money to publish them to provoke me. You did all of that just to lure me here to kill Dorothy! But she’s not actually here at all, am I right?”
“Since you have planned everything to such detail, I don’t think you’d let yourself die so easily!”
“Credence, as long as you keep me alive, I’ll tell you Dorothy’s real identity. I will tell you everything about her!”
“Do you think you can trick me like that? You should have known that I’ve already arranged a paternity test for Dorothy and Leilani.”
Melanie smiled. “What if Leilani used someone else’s hair?”
“She personally handed her hair over, who else could it belong to?”
Credence suddenly held his breath. A strange and shocking thought whirled past his mind.
While Credence was reeling with his thoughts, Melanie raised her slender hand and stuffed it into his black shirt like a snake. She touched his firm and powerful chest. “I’ll keep my word, if you let me live, I’ll tell you everything.”
As they were about to land on the hard ground, Credence squinted. He twisted Melanie’s neck with his hands and spun around. They landed on a soft sandbag.
He had taken notice of the angle. When they landed, Melanie was the first to fall into the sandbag, absorbing most of the impact.
As Melanie groaned painfully, Credence immediately shook her away. He pulled out the dagger from her abdomen and then plunged it into her shoulder blades.
He pulled it out again and pierced it deeper into her shoulder blade.
He didn’t want her dead, but he didn’t want her to be such a threat anymore!
Blood sprayed onto Melanie’s face. The smell was extremely pungent.
He was so fast that she couldn’t feel the pain. She grabbed his well-defined hands and looked into his eyes with a pained look. “Oh… Credence, must you be so cruel? Must you be so cruel to a woman who loves you so much?”
After a while, she smiled at him. “Credence, I know that you still have feelings for me. Otherwise, you would have pierced my heart, instead of my shoulder blade.”
Credence didn’t want to argue with this crazy woman. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Marvin rushing towards him with his men. Hearing Melanie’s shameless words, he couldn’t help but sneer. “He’d have to be blind to ever consider giving you a chance.”
Credence’s froze. “Cut the crap, just take her away. When she wakes up, we can get her to tell us about my wife’s true identity.”
“Okay.”
Marvin took an iron rod from a subordinate and slammed it violently on Melanie’s head.
Melanie stared fixedly at Credence and fell to the ground before she could say another word.
After ordering his subordinates to take Melanie away, Marvin walked over to Credence and noticed that his body was covered in blood. “Credence, you are injured, is it serious?”
Credence was about to shake his head when he suddenly thought of something. He licked his thin lips and narrowed his eyes with a chuckle. “It’s very serious. Take me to that hospital immediately, and arrange for my ward to be next to hers.”
