Chapter 249
“I’m really mad at you, but if you’re truly sorry, I might consider forgiving you p>
When she mentioned forgiveness, I had a feeling it would come with strings attached.
Sure enough, she said, “Take care of Kate, you’ve always disliked her, right? She even tried to steal your man before, oh, and in your past life too p>
Ugh-
I felt like my head was about to explode.
Past life.
Hannah knows about past lives.
She knows I’ve been reborn!
“The person who killed you in your past life, I honestly don’t know who it was. I even sent someone to save you, considering you were my niece, but by the time I got there, you were already gone. I’m convinced Kate had something to do with it p>
My whole body was shaking. What’s going on with the world? Why does it seem like everyone’s stepping through time portals, trying to save some collapsing world?
Being reborn and all, how come I feel like just a background character, constantly overpowered by others?
“Bring Kate over,” Hannah commanded with authority.
Then she handed me a weapon.
“Feel its weight. Once you pick it up, you can never put it down again p>
Trembling, I took it, shaking my head.
As she was pressuring me, suddenly, the sound of vehicles approached. Turning around, we saw black armored vehicles surrounding us, models I’ve never seen before. We were completely encircled. Hannah was shocked too.
“What’s going on, Claire Floyd? Besides the Hilton family, besides Claude and the detective team, who else did you call for backup? Clayton Floyd’s family? Impossible, they wouldn’t intervene,” Hannah panicked. I didn’t know who it was, but I felt anything was better than being in Hannah’s clutches.
In her moment of panic, I aimed the gun in her direction.
“You dare point that at me p>
“Let us go, and I’ll let you go p>
“What right do you have to let me
go? With all these armored
Sepet
around, they won’t just let away p>
Hannah laughed, gripping the gun tighter: “Aim properly, don’t miss p>
More vehicles arrived, and out stepped a man, pale-faced. Richard was supporting him as they walked towards us.
Hannah smirked.
“Richard. You brought him here? You told me this morning you were sure Max was gone p>
I looked at Max, and Max looked at me.
He had woken up and came straight to rescue me, but I couldn’t let my guard down just yet.
Richard, supporting Max, came closer, stopping about a meter away.
Max smiled, “Claire, it’s over now p>
Richard added, “Claire, leave the rest to us p>
Hannah laughed, “I can’t believe it, Richard. After all these years I
spent training you, this is howenet
betray me p>
Richard let to me:
Max I would take
Hanno of Max, moving next、 out of the country, Chel
please let us go p>
“What about all those she killed? Did they deserve to die p>
Richard looked down, “Once I’ve settled her, I’ll come back to atone for my sins p>
I shook my head, disagreeing, “No, it’s not right for you to take the blame for her mistakes p>
Richard smiled, patting my head, “How do you know it wasn’t my fault p>
A helicopter dropped a rope ladder above us.
“Let’s go. I promise, there will be no more sorrow p>
I stood firm, holding the gun, refusing to lower it, “No, murderers must face justice. The law must prevail p>
