Chapter 493

Author: Your Candy
This was not simply about wanting Isolde dead. It was about making her death appear "reasonable," about ensuring she died in a way that allowed certain people to distance themselves from any involvement.

What was the other party so wary of?

The matter grew more mysterious by the moment.

...

The night was dark and oppressive.

A single wall lamp cast a faint glow, barely outlining the furniture.

A man knelt upright on the cold floor, his head lowered. "Miss, Isolde didn't die. I handled the

    "Ah..." Sandra screamed and ducked behind the driver, clutching him as she shouted, "Viper, he wants to kill me. Kill him. Kill him now!"Alan froze mid-step and stared at her in disbelief. "Did you just say you want to kill me?"Sandra grabbed Viper's sleeve, her eyes wide with fear and confusion as she looked at Alan. "You want to kill me, so why can't I kill you? Who are you? I don't even know you. Why would you try to kill me the moment we meet?"Alan's pupils contracted sharply. He stood stunned, struggling to process what he was seeing and hearing. "Sandra, what kind of trick is this? Did you run out of money and come back pretending to have amnesia? Keep dreaming. I told you the condition for letting you go was that you disappear from my sight forever. If you show up again, you die."His gaze turned cold again. Killing intent surged as he raised his hand.Three bodyguards rushed in from the side and charged at Viper.Without his protection, Sandra would be defenseless. Ala

    This was not simply about wanting Isolde dead.

"Miss, Isolde didn't die. I handled the matter poorly. Please punish me."Across from him, a woman reclined on a velvet sofa.Light and shadow cut across her face, obscuring her features and revealing only the faint curve at the corner of her lips."It doesn't matter," she said, her voice calm, soft, and almost ethereal. "If Isolde died that easily, it would be boring."She lifted a hand and gestured toward the glass of red wine on the side table. "You've worked hard. This is your reward."The man's tense shoulders relaxed at onc

    Peter slumped to the ground. After a long while, he drew a ragged breath that sounded like both a sob and a laugh. "Do I… Do I even have a choice anymore?"If the assassination had succeeded, he could have ended everything with his own death in exchange for his daughter's peace.But it had failed. The evidence was in their hands, and his daughter had become the most dangerous bargaining chip.He spoke slowly, his voice dry as sandpaper. "That person… came to the hospital to find me on February 3rd. He was extremely careful. He found me in a public restroom."At the time, I really… couldn't borrow a single cent more. He said he could help me, as long as I cooperated with him… I don't know who he is, but if you pull the surveillance from the hospital that day, I can recognize him."Isolde's heart skipped. They were getting somewhere. She stood at once and turned toward the door.Peter lunged forward and grabbed her ankle. "Ms. Vancrest!"He lifted his tear-stained face, his eyes f

    However, that shock lasted only a blink. In the next second, a murderous light flared in Peter's eyes. He surged to his feet, seized Isolde by the throat, and slammed her against the cold wall."Go to hell!" Peter barked.Isolde neither resisted nor struggled.She simply lifted her gaze and looked calmly at his face, twisted by madness. "Before I came in, I had someone turn off the surveillance. Until you choke me to death, no one will know. You can kill me right now."But if I die, Bruce will have your entire family buried with me, especially Chloe."She won't die as cleanly as I will. She'll suffer endless torture, likely cut into countless chunks, stripped of flesh bit by bit until she dies in agony..."Peter's hands began to shake violently. He let out a hoarse scream as tears and snot streamed down his face. "She doesn't know anything! She's just an innocent child!""Then what about me?" Isolde asked softly, almost on the verge of laughter. "Am I not innocent? You can kill

    Bruce set down the cup, his eyes somber. "Just give me a little more time."Peter was only an ordinary man, yet Bruce's methods had been too mild. Since Peter refused the easy way, he would have to face the hard one. In this world, no one could withstand him to the end."Are you hungry?" The oppressive tension around Bruce vanished in an instant. He slipped an arm around Isolde's shoulder with ease. "There's a kitchen here. I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"The shift in topic was abrupt, but Isolde glanced at the wall clock. It was 5:00 p.m. It was the usual time to start preparing dinner.A small smile tugged at her lips. No matter how turbulent things became or what dark matters occupied him, he never forgot that when the time came, his Isolde needed to eat.That quiet thoughtfulness sent a steady warmth through her chest.She tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder, her voice soft and unconsciously dependent. "Hubby, I love everything you make..."Bruce lower

    "However, within just a few days after Martha's death, the social donations David received quickly covered the surgery costs, and Chloe underwent the bone marrow transplant immediately."Each word hammered Isolde's heart.Those scattered, strange details connected through an invisible thread, gradually outlining a hair-raising truth. She shivered as a chill shot from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head. Even her breathing grew labored.Bruce's cold voice rang out like the final gavel of judgment. "Martha's death was planned by them. They traded one life for their daughter's survival and the security of her future."Isolde swayed, her legs weakening. 'A life for a life…'To avoid hitting Martha, she had crashed into a tree and suffered injuries. Because she believed she had implicated Martha, guilt and distress consumed her, and she had constantly thought about how to compensate the family.She had even forgiven Peter, who had nearly killed her. Yet in the end, even Mar

    Bruce's eyes swept over the ten male models like a blade, then settled heavily on her. "Didn't Mrs. Princeton say she would invite me for coffee? I have time now."Isolde froze, momentarily at a loss for words."It's midnight. What coffee are you talking about?" she asked.Bruce stood in the door

    Alan stared fixedly at the young face before him, a face with no blood relation to his own. His chest rose and fell sharply. At last, he closed his eyes.When he opened them again, all warmth had drained away, leaving only cold resolve. He spoke hoarsely. "Send him back to the Carters."Alan would

    Everyone's eyes tracked his movement and fixed on the final line of the report.[DNA analysis confirms there is no blood relation between Alan Princeton and Ethan Princeton]The bold black words seared into Alan's retinas like a red-hot brand."H-How could this be? No… No blood relation?" Someone

    After saying that, Isolde raised her hand and tossed the plate of seafood risotto, plate and all, into the trash without hesitation. It landed with a loud clatter.Alan froze. He had just taken over the Princetons and worked nonstop without sleep. Even so, he had gone into the kitchen at dawn and p
