Kevin sits there and watches his wife step forward bravely for him. His brother has already arrived. He is so relaxed that he can’t help but want to have a glass of red wine.
“Jonathan, I suggest you go to the police station and admit your crime. You can tell your miserable life in court. You may get a lenient sentence if the judge is touched by you.”
Jonathan isn’t anxious either and pinches his hand casually. He doesn’t stop Sunny when he sees her slowly retreat, as if he knows that they can’t leave today.
“I’m fine. At the worst, we will perish together.”
After hearing his words ‘perish together’, Sunny’s expression changes. She glances at Kevin who is not far away.
She thinks of that even if she really dies here, it seems to be fine except for Macie, who has no one to take care of her.
Thus, she is no longer afraid. She calmly smiles and says, “It’s fine.”
The person who goes out to investigate hasn’t come back yet. Seeing this, Jonathan can’t care that much. At some point, a remote control appears in his hand. He says with a cruel smile, “If I pressed this button, you would all die miserably here. The police might not even be able to find your bodies, just like the fire that happened back then. If it weren’t for Bella, Kevin, you would have died a long time ago.”
After hearing this, Kevin’s expression changes, “What did you say?”
“The fire. What a pity. I have planned to burn you in that fire. I lied to you. I didn’t expect that you’re still so easy to cheat at this age.”
Hearing this, Sunny looks at Kevin worriedly. Seeing that he looks well, she heaves a sigh of relief.
“And did you remember that time when you fainted?. Do you really think it was an accident? You were plotted by me. I tried my best to kill you. But you were such a lucky fool lucky fool that there always was someone who saved you.”
As he speaks, Jonathan laughs, “But this time, let me see who will save you.”
Speaking that, Jonathan presses the button on the remote control in his hand. Kevin sees his movement and subconsciously pounces towards Sunny. He pulls her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
However, the expected explosion does not come.
Kevin hugs Sunny and finishes saying all the corny words he wants to say. He closes his eyes and waits for a long time. But he still doesn’t hear the explosion.
Jonathan looks at the remote control in his hand and is somewhat panicked. “What happened? How could this happen?”
At this time, a voice comes from the side, “Are you looking for this?”
Jonathan subconsciously looks over and discovers that Ellison, who is standing not far away, is holding the time bomb that he has thought will explode.
“Jonathan, I really didn’t expect you to be the most secretive.”
Ellison says as he walks down the stairs, “If it weren’t for Kevin sending me a message, I would have been tricked by you.”
When Jonathan sees the time bomb in Ellison’s hand, his face turns ashen.
Anyway, He is most afraid of Ellison.
It is Ellison who rescued him from the fire back then. So, he owes him a favor forever.
“Shut up. If it weren’t for you, I would have killed Kevin long ago. If I had killed him, you wouldn’t have regretted it for so many years.”
Jonathan seems to be in a rage and even accidentally says what happened back then.
After hearing these words, Kevin’s expression becomes hard to read.
“I regretted it? The thing I regret the most is that I saved you back then. If I didn’t save you, I wouldn’t have cherished a snake in my bosom.”
Ellison is also very angry. When he rescued Jonathan from fire, he really treated him as a friend. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told him so much.
However, Kevin, who is at the side, begins to ask, “Ellison, what does he mean by those words?”
Ellison suddenly feels a headache.
“Don’t listen to him. He’s trying to alienate us. Listen to me, let’s settle this matter first. Then, I’ll explain it to you.”
Kevin closes his mouth sullenly. But Jonathan says, “What’s the hurry? If you want to know, I’ll tell you. Do you know how your parents died back then? It’s really pitiful.”
The veins on Ellison’s head almost stand out, “Shut up.”
“Ellison, let him continue.”
Sunny can do nothing but only gently pat Kevin to comfort him.
Kevin grabs Sunny’s hand and pinches it.
“Back then, your brother acted recklessly and thought that he was extraordinary. He insisted on fighting the enemy alone. But unexpectedly, his enemy didn’t come alone and brought a group of people to ambush him. Therefore, when he was in trouble, your parents could only come to save him.”
After hearing this, Kevin falls silent. Because the story is different from what he has heard.
“Ellison, is what he said true?”
He looks at Ellison, waiting for an answer.
However, Ellison just remains silent, not saying one word.
Kevin closes his eyes and says, “I see. Ellison, let’s deal with him first.”
After hearing the last sentence, Ellison widens his eyes. He has thought that Kevin will blame him and even will come over and fight with him.
Seeing that his attempt to sow discord does not succeed, Jonathan has to call his men to protect him.
However, his subordinates do not show up. At this moment, another voice comes out.
