?Chapter 887:


    Lydia’s fury mounted as she mulled over Earle’s words. Despite her wounds, sheunched a fierce assault on his vulnerabilities. “I’ll make you regret this!” In a swift motion, she maneuvered behind Earle and tightened her arm around his throat. However, Earle countered, flipping her over his shoulder.


    Suddenly, clouds obscured the moon, casting darkness around them. At that moment, the base lights flickered on, exposing those lurking in the shadows. Elena’s expression darkened as she realized Earle was baiting Lydia, aiming to disrupt her focus.


    Elena attempted to soothe Lydia, but it was toote. Lydia was beyond reason.


    As Earle escaped the hold, his assassins closed in.


    From behind them, Earle surveyed Lydia and Elena with a smug grin.


    That was when Lydia grasped the grim reality of her situation. Overwhelmed by frustration, she turned to nce at Elena. Her rash actions had yed right into Earle’s hands, costing them their crucial advantage. The chance to rescue the child slipped away, and even escaping became doubtful. Lydia muttered to Elena, “I’m sorry…”


    It was unusual for Lydia to act on impulse, yet Earle’s provocations had drawn her in.


    Lydia was left feeling deeply embarrassed by her critical mistake at such a decisive moment.


    Elena didn’t me Lydia. Her thoughts were already racing with ns to save Casper, despite theirck of leverage.


    However, Earle swiftly crushed those ns. He pointed skyward, a grim smile ying on his lips. “See what happens when you defy me.”


    Elena’s heart skipped a beat, dread flooding her. “What have you orchestrated?” she demanded, her tone edged with urgency.


    Earle said nothing, his chilling smile fixed as he watched the sky.

    Elena’s eyes traced his line of sight.


    Above them, the helicopter that had been lingering suddenly ascended. Casper’s cries pierced the air, his face contorted in terror as he clung desperately to a dangling rope. His fear was obvious. All he longed for was the safety of home.


    Suddenly, the rope gave way, and Casper fell like a stone, his descent swift and heart-wrenching.


    Elena shouted, “NO!” as she dashed forward in a futile attempt to reach him.


    But it all happened too fast. She had only sprinted a short distance… With a sickening thud, Casper hit the ground. The force of the fall was catastrophic, blood and flesh scattering.


    At that instant, Elena felt a chill seep through her, paralyzing her with shock. She stood frozen, witnessing Casper’s life be destroyed before her eyes.


    The brutal impact had shattered Casper, his blood blending with the earth in a horrifying scene.


    Elena’s mind reyed the memory of Casper’s gentle eyes and his timid voice expressing gratitude for her portrait. An overwhelming fury engulfed her, obliterating all sense of calm.


    Consumed by the need for revenge, Elena’s resolve hardened—Earle must pay for this with his life.
