Seeing Xena running in made Howard instantly know what was going on. It had been Xena who betrayed him!Xena anxiously ran to the front of Simon and snatched that vial of poison. She immediately smashed it on the floor and the vial broke into pieces."You're too cruel, Howard! No matter what, Simon is still your uncle. How can you force him to inject himself with poison?" It was only now that she came to realize how crazy Howard was.Howard looked at her coldly and sneered, "Xena, now you're trying to act like a good person? Don't you forget that I'm your partner!"Xena's expression was utterly awful but she had already come clean to Simon. She was not afraid of Howard exposing her true intentions in front of Simon anymore."That's right. I did cooperate with you, but since the beginning, I had never wished for anything to happen to Simon!"Simon looked at the poison on the floor and then at the two people who were exposing each other's intentions. He pursed his mouth, not saying
The only thing she could say now was that she had been too foolish and Howard was too good of an actor.The emotions in Howard’s eyes were turbulent. After undergoing several changes, he ultimately said in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t want it to become like this either, Shar. But if I can’t get out of this today, then I have to ask you to die with me. I don’t want to leave you all alone. You’re mine!”It was as if he had thoroughly gone insane!“You’ll have to choose now, Uncle. Either you let me and Shar go, or we’ll die together right here.” It was as if Howard had gone mad, but he was still aware that Simon’s men were outside at the moment. If he were to let Sharon go, he could not escape this.There was not a single expression on Simon’s cold face. There was just a terrifyingly bloodthirsty aura that exuded from his body.On the other hand, Xena wished that Howard and Sharon would drop dead right there. She pretended to kindly remind him, “Simon, you can’t let him take Sharon awa
Simon was sitting inside the car at the moment with the window lowered. He looked at the villa in front that was surrounded by wall fences and his eyes narrowed slightly."President Zachary, let's break in and save Miss Sharon right now." Franky could not fathom why Simon had asked Howard to take her away in the first place. Now, they were ordered not to act rashly while surrounding the villa. Simon simply did not believe Howard had any sort of ability to fight against them anyway."No! I told you not to move. Just stand still in your position!" Simon scowled coldly. It was not that he was afraid of Howard, and he did not want Sharon to be taken away either. However, right now, the right choice would be for her to go with Howard.With Simon's understanding of Howard, no matter how vicious the man’s words were, he would not be able to turn a blind eye to Sharon's wellbeing.Even if Howard did not have the antidote for the poison in her body, he still had something to relieve the
Sharon cast a sidelong glance at Howard. She could not believe that he had the gall to give her such an absurd reason!“I’ve been begging you to get back together with me. When you rejected me, I was still willing to let the matter go. But you even went as far as to agree to marry my uncle! Of course, I’d disallow it!”“Do… Do you truly think that it makes sense for you to do all this?” She found that it was getting ridiculous now, and she honestly could not comprehend what he was thinking.Howard suddenly held her hand, a gesture that was seemingly affectionate yet mixed with a little bit of insanity. He said, “Shar, sometimes, one doesn’t need a reason to love someone else. I don’t care whether or not I’m making sense; the only thing I know is that I can’t lose you again!”His current appearance was frightening Sharon a little, and she immediately retracted her hand while backing away. It was apparent that she was trying to avoid him.“Don’t touch me! This is not love. It’s ridi
“The antidote? Did you really develop the antidote?” Howard was naturally in disbelief.He had been pressing Darren for so long, yet he kept saying that he could not think of the formula. Today, Darren suddenly made the antidote almost in a blink of an eye. Howard had every reason to doubt him.“You didn’t just casually whip up something random and are calling it an antidote because you’re afraid of me killing you, right?”Darren was immediately upset when he heard this and said, “You’re right, I am afraid of you killing me. But I wouldn’t lie to you. Let’s just say that the woman is very lucky that I happened to come up with it.”Seeing that Howard still doubted him, Darren snorted coldly and said, “It’s fine if you don’t believe me. This is the only antidote available, and if you ask me to make another one, there’s a high probability that I won’t be able to do it again.”Howard snatched the vial over. “I believe you. But if this isn’t the antidote and it can’t fully detoxify her
“Shar!” Howard yelled out, trying to stop her. However, it was too late. He could only watch as her head hit against the wall.Blood started flowing down from her forehead, and she could feel all of her strength escaping her body.“Shar!” Howard ran over and held her. He was horrified to see the blood flowing down from her head. “Why are you so stupid?! Why couldn’t you just take my word for it? I truly wasn’t planning on hurting you. I merely want to be with you!”Before Sharon completely lost consciousness, she witnessed the moment Howard shed tears for her!Was he feeling sorry for her? Heh… She would not believe those crocodile tears!“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, Shar. But I still have to inject the antidote into you,” said Howard as he lifted the syringe in his hand.Sharon’s pupils contracted for a moment before her vision faded into a blur...Was he not planning to let go of her even if she died?Once she was completely unconscious, Howard injected her wit
Howard walked out of the room impatiently and asked with a cold expression, “What’s the matter? Why are you yelling?”“It’s the men outside… Your uncle asked someone to send a message to tell you to hand her over, or they’ll break in,” said the subordinate.When Howard heard this, there was a cold flash in his eyes. “How many men are outside surrounding us?”He knew very well that the people with him now would not stand a chance against his uncle’s bodyguards.If his uncle actually broke in, he would not be able to stop him.However, he did not plan on stopping him either. Since he could not go head-to-head with his uncle, the only other method was avoidance…“Well… we can’t tell you the exact figure, but it’s quite a big number,” said the subordinate.Howard did not expect them to have counted all of his uncle’s men anyway, so he merely sneered and said, “Tell him that I won’t hand her over. I’ll applaud him if he can come in here and get her.”“But…” The subordinate hesitated
Explosives. He had planted explosives inside the villa, and Simon was inside… Was it because he wanted to rescue her?Howard led Simon into the villa and escaped with her. Was he waiting around now to see Simon get blown up?Was the nephew going to blow up his own uncle? How could he have the heart to do such a thing? He was atrociously cruel!Sharon did not have the time to reprimand Howard for his cruelty. She had to save Simon first.She moved a bit more, and her strength was slowly recovering now. However, she wondered if she could run to the villa and find a way to avoid Howard at the same time.“It should be about time now, right?” Darren said suddenly.Howard did not reply to him, but his silence frightened Sharon even more.She abruptly understood what Darren was implying. He was asking when the place would explode!There was not much time to think about this anymore. If she dilly-dallied any longer, Simon would be dead!She held her breath, pushed the car door open fi
