Chapter 1196 This Is A Ploy
Bastien seemed to have figured something out. Hostility burned brightly in his eyes. “There’s no way you’re able to say anything good after all the evil you’ve committed! You must be lying to me. You’re just trying to trick me!”
The next moment, King fired his gun at Bastien’s right leg. Bang! Bastien hissed in pain as his right leg collapsed under him. He glared at King furiously.
“You’ll know if I’m telling the truth when you see your father,” King mocked him coldly. “Back then, she had already accepted your request to dance, but she didn’t want to marry you.
If it were another woman, do you think she’ll be able to back out? And you think she did that to protect you? It’s merely because Natalie looks like Jennie! It’s normal that you don’t believe it, Bastien. But I don’t need you to because you will never be with Natalie!”
“Y-You!” Bastien’s leg was throbbing with pain, and he felt like his heart had been shattered to pieces.
However, Helma remained steadfast in her loyalty to Bastien. She walked over to his side and tried to talk some sense into him. “Why are you doing this to yourself, Bastien? You two can’t be together! And she’s already dead! Look at me.
We were meant to be together. Will you please be mine? I will help you plead for leniency and protect you. I will give you everything I have, and you will receive nothing but the best. As long as you remain by my side and spend the rest of our lives together hand in hand…”
Helma’s love for him had no bounds, and it was evident in every word she spoke. She loved him so much that she even abandoned her dignity. She was willing to do anything for him, even if it was listening to a madman’s father!
However, Bastien had once again trampled all over her sincerity. His leg was injured, but he pushed Helma away, who had been holding him up. “Go away! I don’t need your pity! You’re the daughter of that crazy man. There’s no way I’m going to love you!” he spat coldly.
