Chapter 560
He then stabbed Estella unexpectedly.
“Estella, run!” Natalie shouted anxiously. But it was too late.
When the sharp blade slashed Estella’s arm, blood oozed out instantly. Estella fell to the floor, clutching
her arm, and cried out in pain.
“If anyone comes over again, I’ll kill Natalie!” Jethro pulled Natalie’s hair and continued shouting, “Did
you hear it? Step back!”
This forced the Larson Group’s employees, who had planned to rush up to save Natalie, to retreat.
Even Estella didn’t dare to move again. She was still on the floor, pressing on her wound. “Are you
okay, Natalie?” she asked in a low voice.
Natalie realized that Estella was not afraid of death at all. Even in such a critical situation, she still had
the mood to chat casually.
However, she was actually scared shitless. “What if I die here today?” Estella asked, her voice shaking
because of fear. “It turns out that saving people is not as simple as the suggests. I have yet to
attend the award ceremony. I have yet to begin writing the I promised you. I still have a lot of
money in my bank account that I haven’t spent. If I had known how short my life would be, I would have
treated myself better…”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Natalie cut Estella off from self-talking. She was moved by Estella’s action to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsave her just now, but it wasn’t the right time to express her gratitude.
“Hurry up and go,” Natalie urged. “Jethro has no time for you now.”
Estella looked up at Jethro.
Sure enough, Jethro was clutching Natalie tightly and refusing to let her go.
Jethro glared at Estella viciously. “Go away! Don’t get in my way!” He then yelled at the employees
around him. “Move back! If you dare to come up again, I will stab you as well!”
Estella had no choice but to nod and walk away weakly while covering her wound.
The Larson Group’s employees then came up to support her. But no one dared to go forward for fear of
provoking Jethro to do something even worse.
Natalie licked her dry lips to calm herself down.
“Don’t be so worried. I value my life so I won’t run away,” Natalie told Jethro. She then blinked slowly
and said, “I noticed you keep swallowing. Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?”
“Shut up, bitch!” Jethro gritted his teeth. “I don’t need water!”
Natalie then changed her approach. “You want money, don’t you? How much do you want?”
Jethro yanked Natalie’s hair so hard that it almost snapped. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” I
said shut up! I want to talk to Brandon, not you!” 2
“Jethro, let go of my wife.”
As soon as Jethro finished speaking, he heard Brandon’s voice.
Brandon’s eyes were dark and cold. “What do you want? Tell me.”
He had called the cops, and the b*odyguards of the Larson Group had surrounded Jethro.
Subconsciously, Jethro took a few steps back. It was the first time he saw Brandon face to face, and
Brandon’s intimidating aura made him shudder.
“Give me my money, and I’ll let her go!” Jethro yelled, trying to gather his courage.
“How dare you ask me for money?” Brandon sneered. “Your factory was already in bad condition, and
you were heavily in debt. Even if I didn’t withdraw the order, you wouldn’t be able to keep going for
another three months. You are a loser, and now you even blame the Larson Group for your failure. This
is ridiculous!”
Jethro was taken aback. How did Brandon know these things? He believed he had done a good job of
concealing the truth.
“I’m not a loser! But you made me one! You are the one who is forcing me into this. This world, this
society…”
After his lie was exposed, Jethro was on the verge of collapsing, his eyes filled with rage and
embarrassment. He wildly waved his knife, which later grazed Natalie’s neck.
“Ouch!” Natalie cried out in pain, with blood oozing from her neck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrandon’s pupils contracted and his breath became short as he saw Natalie getting injured.
“How much do you want?” demanded Brandon furiously. His face was red with anger and veins popped
up from his forehead. He was trying hard to control his temper.
Jethro immediately calmed down at the mention of money.
“I want five million in cash. I will also need a car! Stop the car outside when it’s here!” he demanded
conceitedly.
He was about to take pleasure in finally getting Brandon to dance to his tune. However, he soon
remembered Brandon’s cunningness. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, “Brandon, you’re
not calling the police, right? I’ll kill Natalie if I hear the police coming!” “I’m not calling the police. I’m
asking my assistant to get you the money and the car now,” explained Brandon anxiously. He knew that
he shouldn’t try anything risky and the most important thing right now was to keep Jethro’s mood under
control. That way, he could prevent Jethro from hurting Natalie again.
Soon after, Sean came jogging in with a heavy case.
He opened the case, turned it around to face Jethro, and said with disdain, “Here’s the five million
dollars. Do you want to count them?”
Jethro’s eyes lit up at the sight of the cash. He lifted his foot and kicked the case closed. “Do you think
I’m stupid? Wouldn’t I be giving you a chance to seize me if I start counting the money now?” he said
haughtily.
