Chapter 1397
Damon’sst three words hung in the air for a few seconds, and his expression took on a grave
seriousness after he had spoken.
Wendy’s crying stopped instantly. She stared wide-eyed at the man outside the cage, her face a
mask of confusion.
She didn’t understand. Didn’t understand why Damon had brought her here.
Why had hee here…
"Nothing to say? If you don’t speak now, you might not get another chance."
Damon leaned to the side, picked up a handgun from the table, and yed around with it lightly in
his hand.
Wendy''s heart flinched at the sight of the man in front of her, who was exuding a terrifying aura, and
she began to cry again.
"Damon... I''ve been following you since we were kids. You''ve taught me a lot, always protected me,
helped me, favored me. I''ll never forget...you were my childhood dream.
“My entire life has revolved around you. I worked hard to study, to be a properdy of the
Alonso family. Do you know how much courage it took for me to leave home and study abroad... But
I still went, just so I could fight alongside you. Nobody loves you more than I do, Damon. You have
no idea how much I''ve given for you.
“We''re childhood sweethearts, a perfect match, and everyone thinks we''re the ideal couple. I''ve
worked hard for this, so why won''t you look at me? Why won''t you open your heart to me, and see
how good I am?
“There''s no one in this world who loves you more than I do..."
It was clear that Wendy''s words were heartfelt.
Nate sneaked a nce at Damon, who had been silent for a long time on the couch, uncertain of
what he was thinking. Was he... moved?
"...And then?" Damon finally spoke after a long silence, his voice devoid of any emotion. But Wendy
felt that Damon had heard her words and a glimmer of hope sparked in her heart.
"If I can''t be with you in this lifetime, I''d rather die than live in this world."
He was her belief, her everything. Without him, what was the point of her existence?
Hearing this, Damon offered a slight smile. He looked up, directly into Wendy''s hopeful eyes—
"Then go ahead and die."
Wendy was jolted to her core. She stared at him, her eyes reflecting his handsome, yet mocking
face. She was too stunned to react.
Nate shivered at the sight.
Damon''s casual, nonchnt attitude was even more terrifying. ying with the gun in his hand,
Damon suddenly stopped. He raised his arm and pointed the gun directly at the woman in the cage.
"I''ve heard you say these things too many times."
Pulling the trigger, he said coolly, "It makes me sick."
"Listening to you say these things... I''m sick of it. You want to be with me..." He tilted his head
slightly, his dark eyes filled with disgust. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "...then go ahead and
die."
Every time he thought of this woman still pining for him, he felt uneasy. She never let him have a
moment''s peace.
"No..." Wendy seemed to have not fully recovered from her shock, just looking nkly at the man
before her. "No, Damon, that''s not what I meant..."
Coming back to her senses, and seeing the small handgun, Wendy was in aplete panic.
"Damon, you can''t do this! You weren''t like this when we were kids..."
"I don''t want to exin why I protected you back then. It had nothing to do with feelings. Maybe I
just enjoyed the adoration you all had for me, or maybe I just found you annoying when you cried. If
I had known you''d be this clingy, I wouldn''t have bothered back then..." His words were punctuated
by a cold glint in his eyes.
"Wendy, I''ve given you plenty of chances. Let''s settle this once and for all. One chance, one bullet,
how about that?"
"No...no...don''t! Damon, you can''t do this...My grandfather will be angry, and my father won''t forgive
you...my mother won''t either, and...you''re just trying to scare me, right? You wouldn''t really do
this..."
"Bang—"
"Ah!!"
Wendy''s scream filled the empty room. Nate couldn''t help but close his eyes at the sound.
This shot was truly ironic. Anybody else in her ce, hearing Damon''s words, would have given up
all hope by now. Did she still think he had some special feelings for her?
Was she too stupid to understand what he was saying, or too obsessed, to the point of madness?
Having such a clingy person around was really annoying. He had thought that ignoring her would
make her understand, but it seemed that while everyone else would get it, Miss Alonso probably
never would.
The handgun in Damon''s hand, typically used by women for self-defense, could be considered a
concealed weapon. It didn’t have a long range. After being modified, the special bulletpartment
reduced the size of the bullets and increased the capacity.
As long as it could kill, it was enough.
The bullet hit Wendy''s left shoulder de. The small bullet, moving at a high speed, was even
sharper and easily buried itself in her shoulder bone.
Wendy could hardly believe that Damon would actually shoot her, but right now, she had no time to
consider the pain. The pain in her shoulder was nearly unbearable. Her face was as pale as a
sheet, even her lips were void of any color.
"Damon..."
"This bullet is for setting up Chloe with Felix at the party."
Wendy blinked, seemingly recalling the party that had happened long ago.
"Bang!" Lost in her thoughts, another bullet hit her other shoulder. No surprise, another piercing
scream followed.
"This one''s for framing Chloe as a thief at my mother''s wee party."

"This one''s for ruining my engagement party and leaving Chloe to face the usations of everyone
