Chapter 1665


    But how could she ept this? How?!


    The blood, still warm, trickled down her arm, dropping weakly onto the ground. On her other side,


    her fingers wed desperately at the ground, causing her nails to split and bleed. She found herself


    once again spiraling into a state of pure self–induced madness.


    Her appearance was grotesque, terrifying. Yasmine watched her, shaking her head slightly with a


    sigh.


    “You’re wrong! I won’t die, and if I do, it won’t be by that bitch’s hands!” She screamed hysterically,


    turning to Stanley. “So what if you saved her mother? Chloe could be dead, for all we know! Do you


    love that bitch? Pathetic. You finally get a chance to y the hero, but there’s no one to witness it.


    She might already be dead, at the hands of the gang leader, right? And how would she die? It would


    be the most brutal way to go, I bet. Look at the woman you all fought over and loved. She met such


    a dirty, pathetic end.”


    Stanley watched her with a dark expression, his brows furrowing deeply. “What the hell are you


    talking about?! You’vepletely lost it!“c2


    Wendy ignored him and continued her manicughter, “You said Chloe would kill me, but she’s not


    even here. So, you were wrong…”


    Yasmine smirked, her tone almost questioning, “Was I?”


    Wendy sat up from the ground, throwing her head back in triumphantughter. “Yes! You were


    wrong! Wrong!! Hahaha… I didn’t kill her directly, but it was ! who lured her here. Ultimately, I


    caused her death… Hahaha…”


    Herughter echoed eerily in the empty warehouse, ringing in their ears. “I caused her death… You


    were wrong… Wrong…”


    Stanley pulled out his earpiece with his free hand, visibly annoyed. With a flick of his wrist, he spun


    his gun around, pointing it at Wendy. “You’ve got the most annoying voice I’ve ever heard, a real


    menace. Time to shut up, for good!”


    “Stanley.”


    His flippant words fell, and he was about to pull the trigger on the ranting woman in front of him. But


    then a cool, aloof voice rang out.


    Stanley paused, turning his head sharply. His expression darkened.


    At the same time, Wendy’s manicughter slowly died. She quickly raised her head to the entrance.


    The previously triumphant expression froze on her


    face.


    The man and woman who appeared at the entrance made her face twitch uncontrobly. The man


    was d in a ck coat and was tall and handsome. His face was the one she had been


    obsessively thinking about. He was breathtakingly attractive, and the woman by his side was


    covered from head to toe, her bulky down jacket obscuring her figure. A plush scarf wrapped


    around her neck, and arge hood covered her head, the long fur trim was blocking most of her


    face.


    Though her face was hidden, there was no mistaking who she was. Wendy continued to stare at


    her. Her bloodshot eyes nearly popped out of their

    sockets.


    The woman slowly approached and stood in front of Wendy. She reached up, slowly removing her


    hood.


    Even though Wendy knew who it was, when she saw that cold, aloof face, looking down at her, the


    face she had hated her entire life, her hand clenched the ground, and her pale lips trembled


    violently.


    The Chloe she remembered was always dressed immactely, but the woman before her now was


    a stark contrast. Dressed in loose, ill–fitting clothing, she still managed to exude a style uniquely her


    own.


    “Your hopes may be dashed yet again.” Chloe stood before her, looking at her coldly.


    Wendy gritted her teeth, realizing her current predicament, and struggled to get up from the ground.


    She turned to look at Damon standing behind her,ughing in a mix of despair and scorn.


    “You really do treasure her, don’t you? For her, you’d even rush into a ce like this without a


    second thought. For her, would you all willingly give up your lives?”


    Damon stood aside, not even sparing her a nce.


    You really are pathetic” Chloe’s voice was cool and steady, a sharp jab at Wendy’s heart


    Yes, two men would willingly rush into this ce for her. But what about her? Who would do the


    same for her?


    She truly was pathetic. The man she loved disabled her limbs, and he wouldn’t even spare her a


    nce. Now, she was again shot in the arm by a stranger


    All for Chipe


    “Nobody will die for me today. I know Stanley’s abilities. He’s not cornered here


    Stanley looked pleased, turning to Damon who was looking less than thrilled. His smile became


    even more smug Damon resisted the urge to punch D?NE Lannoying face beside him.


    And Damon Chloe continued, “surely won’t either


    Damon smirked, ncing at the now crestfallen Stanley. He never paid much attention to the gang


    wearier idently before but now he realised, it 100 bad


    Wendy had no idea what Chloe was trying to say “What do you mean?


    Chloe chuckled coldly. Do you know who the leader of this territory is?


    Wendy froze for aere. Her gaze involuntarily turned to Durman, and her body swayed slightly


    at’s right, it’s him


    She shook her head frantically, stumbling backwards. “It’s impossible! You don’t have any control


    over the Harper family. You don’t have any weapons. What will you control this ce with?”


    “Who said the weapons here belong to the Harper family?” Chloe cut her off, looking at her before


    bursting intoughter. “How ludicrous. You nned to use my mother to lure me here and kill me,


    and now… Isn’t this like a mouse walking right into a trap?”


    Wendy still couldn’t believe it. “No, it can’t be!”
