The murderous aura emanating from Eileen.
Caused Jaeden to tremble all over.
Especially the dagger on his neck, after slicing through his skin, blood flowed out, sending a chill through his body, causing him to tremble in fear!
Because, if that dagger were to advance a few more inches, his windpipe would be severed in minutes!
This lunatic!
He never expected the other party’s methods to be so ruthless. They completely embodied the demeanor of someone willing to risk their life.
Eileen’s cold and murderous expression exerted immense psychological pressure on him. It conveyed the message that… if he dared to disobey even the slightest bit, she could truly eliminate him on the spot!
Hendrix and his daughter Martha, who witnessed this scene, didn’t even flinch. They simply watched everything in silence.
“Speak!!”
The dagger in Eileen’s hand advanced a little further, causing blood to flow even more intensely. Jaeden could even feel his own blood trickling onto the blade…
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
Jaeden couldn’t bear this pressure and could only confess truthfully.
Quentin coldly stared at him with deep, dark eyes.
“It was Bella’s idea. She asked me to conspire with her to frame Charlotte, to seduce me, and then when I refused to cooperate…”
“I didn’t initially plan to do this, but yesterday’s incident made me angry, so I decided to seek revenge against her…”
“It was just a momentary lapse in judgment, spare me, big brother!”
He was so frightened that he almost wet himself.
“It seems like yesterday’s lesson wasn’t enough for you,” Quentin’s gaze grew darker.
“And what about those fabricated news articles? Tell me everything truthfully. If you utter a single lie, I’ll take your life.”
Jaeden trembled all over. “I… I didn’t do those things. I had no knowledge of any of it. Bella told me what to say, and I simply said it. As for what she specifically did, I have no idea. I’m just an accomplice…”
“And I didn’t directly frame Charlotte. I only said some ambiguous things to make others misunderstand… In the end, my mistakes weren’t that outrageous. It doesn’t warrant death!”
Quentin’s icy gaze bore into him, driving him almost insane. That look was like a hunter staring at its prey, filled with killing intent, suffocating him!
Quentin suddenly stood up and spoke slowly, “Whether you deserve to die or not isn’t up to you. It’s up to me!”
“Bella, as the mastermind who repeatedly framed my woman, I won’t let her off easily! And you, plotting against my woman and failing, only to attempt to destroy her with rumors again… Do you think you don’t deserve to die?”
“But in my eyes, you deserve death!”
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Quentin…
Jaeden shivered uncontrollably, his clothes soaked with cold sweat. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and cheeks, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.
He wanted to stand up and turn around to escape, but the intense pain coursing through his body and the oppressive feeling made it impossible for him to even move a step. He could only stare at Quentin in fear as he approached…
That feeling… was like being crushed by a towering mountain, with an invisible hand tightly gripping his neck, suffocating him!
Jaeden let out a low growl, his face drenched in sweat, and shouted, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I still have value…”
“I admit my mistake…”
“As long as you spare my life, I still have plenty of value…”
“I have evidence that will make Bella wish she were dead!!!”
He hoarsely yelled with all his might.
Just to preserve his life!
“Oh?”
Quentin’s footsteps came to a slow halt, and he suddenly revealed an interested smile. “Value? Tell me then, what evidence do you have against Bella?”
To be honest…
Quentin didn’t want it to be them…
People like them… killing them would only be letting them off too easily…
He wanted them to suffer!
To live their whole lives a living hell!
