Chapter 199
Richard rarely said so much, but fear grabbed his heart at the sight of Abby holding a dagger against Pearl’s neck. He was really afraid of losing Pearl forever.
Abby, on the other hand, didn’t expect to feel heartbroken when she heard the words she had rehearsed countless times in her heart. Of course, she was aware of that.
She could tell that the only woman Richard loved was Pearl by the way he looked at the latter. Besides, she knew that he only regarded her as his sister. But he was so perfect, like a sculpted masterpiece, that she couldn’t help wanting to keep him by her
side.
But Pearl had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ruined Abby’s plan. In her panic, Abby had resorted to various schemes to prevent them from becoming a couple.
She couldn’t comprehend why all her efforts were futile, and she had ended up in despair, not only ruining her own family but also incurring the wrath of Richard’s family. It felt like she had gained nothing except pain and heartache.
While Abby was lost in her thoughts, Richard seized the opportunity. He wrested the dagger from her grasp and kicked her three meters away.
Abby, upon hitting the ground, began to cough up blood.
“You’re doomed, Abby,” Richard declared. He made a phone call, and within ten seconds, a group of armed forces stormed in. They promptly carried Hanzel out, while Richard helped Pearl to her feet.
Staring at Abby coldly, Richard warned her, “The cops will get here soon. You’d better come up with your statement. There’s no escaping jail this time.”
Richard’s patience with Abby had completely run out, and her wickedness repulsed him.
“Have you never liked me, Rick? Even just a little?” Abby asked with tear-filled eyes, her voice pleading and hopeful.
Seeing Pearl on the brink of fainting, Richard picked her up. Abby’s question made him show an aloof expression as he replied, “Never.”
With that, he turned and left without another word.
Meanwhile, Louis and Wilhem trembled in a corner, unable to believe that the people they had beaten up and kidnapped turned out to be members of the Waldorfs.
The Waldorfs were the most prominent aristocratic family in Enswood. Even if Louis and Wilhem had managed to earn a million dollars, they might have faced dire consequences.
Besides, the cops would come soon, and they would be imprisoned again even though they had just gotten their freedom.
When they heard the sirens approaching, they resigned themselves to their fates and closed their eyes.
Abby wiped the blood from her l*ps and stood up. After glancing around, she found that she had nothing except the two trembling men in the corner.
With a pathetic smile, she stared at the sharp dagger in her hand for a moment. In the next instant, she plunged the dagger into her own heart, blood gushing forth.
Her deepest regret was falling in love with Richard.
