Chapter 540: "Think, Jeffrey! If you kill me, you'll pay the price too. Do you really think your sister would want you to be sentenced to death for this?" Her words struck a nerve.
Jeffrey stopped in his tracks, hesitation flickering in his eyes. But it didn't last. Gritting his teeth, he growled, "It doesn't matter. My life means nothing. As long as I can get justice for her, I'll do whatever it takes.” Realizing that Jeffrey was beyond reason, Tracy scrambled to cup with a way out. Raising her voice, she broke into sobs. "Please, I beg you! I was wrong! It's all my fault! Don't do this-just calm down!" It didn't take long for the noise to draw attention from outside. But since this was Brian's office, no one dared to barge in. Instead, they rushed off to find him.
When Brian arrived, the door was still shut, but Tracy's desperate sobs carried through. "Please! Don't kill me! I swear, I didn't seduce him. You're mistaken!" Jeffrey wasn't listening anymore. He tightened his grip on the knife and kept moving forward.

"Brian, help me!" Tracy shrieked, running straight into Brian's arms, looking utterly pathetic. "I was so scared... I thought I was going to die!" Brian's sharp eyes locked onto Jeffrey. "Put the knife down. Now." The moment Jeffrey saw Brian, he froze. Seizing the opportunity, Brian swiftly nudged Tracy toward Ronald before extending his hand toward Jeffrey. "Jeffrey, that knife isn't just dangerous to others-it's dangerous to you. Hand it over." Jeffrey's chest tightened, but a fleeting sense of relief washed over him. Brian stepped closer, his gaze cautious as Jeffrey slowly extended the knife, handle-first.
It felt like the storm was finally about to subside.
Out of nowhere, Tracy let out a desperate scream and threw herself in front of Brian.

Just as Brian was about to grasp the handle, Jeffrey's grip suddenly tightened—and without warning, he drove the knife forward.
A split second later, his eyes widened in horror as a crimson flood poured out.
The thick, dark liquid quickly stained the carpet, dripping in heavy streams.

Even now, he struggled to accept that Jeffrey had actually stabbed him. The knife slipped from Jeffrey's trembling hand and hit the floor with a heavy clatter.
A faint, hollow smile tugged at Jeffrey's lips.
"Honestly... this is fine. After what you did to my sister... Brian, you owe her more than just an apology."
At that moment, whatever consequence awaited him-whether prison, a harsh sentence, or om something worse-it no longer mattered. Going to prison almost felt like a relief. It meant his sister could finally live without being burdened by him. At least this way, she wouldn't have to sacrifice herself for his sake anymore.
"This... isn't so bad."
