With Matthew's words, the young girl who was about to speak and plead with Selena suddenly choked up. She stood there frozen, her face turning white as she watched the tearful girl on the stage. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, no more words came out.
For millions of years, human beings have evolved with manners, morals, and laws to restrain their desires and shortcomings in the hope of living a better life. Today, the vast majority of this group have already purged the evil within their nature and become longing for freedom and kindness.
Moreover, the majority of those who came to the scene today were fans of Selena and "Breaking Ground." With the tragedy of the Turner family and the news of Lady Nevaeh's tragic death, and the truth that Selena had been abused for so many years, no one could, in good conscience, shout out that Selena should die for them.
Clark frowned but remained calm, "To you all, using Miss Turner as a bargaining chip to exchange your right to live is an uncomplicated choice."
"After all, as long as you speak up, Miss Turner, as a member of the Turner family, will not just stand by and watch so many people die for her."
This sentence once again made the pleas that had just been silenced by Matthew start to stir again.
Suddenly, Estrella stood up and glared at Clark in anger. "If we really do that today, Lady Selena's family and fiance will not let us go!"
"Lady Selena has so many people protecting her, and if we have the idea of sacrificing her, we don't even need to act. Those who protect Lady Selena will silence us first!"
"Sir, don't waste your time trying to sow discord among us!"
"We may be selfish, greedy, or afraid of death... but we will never do something as depraved as sacrificing someone else!"
Estrella's words froze the faces of those who were just about to speak and plead with Selena.
This is a live broadcast.
If they force Selena to sacrifice herself for them, her family and fiance will never let them go!
Moreover, there are so many bodyguards around Selena.
Those bodyguards had just protected them.
To send a loyal and brave person to die, and to die with their saviors...
More people covered their faces and cried in despair on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Lady Selena. I'm scared, I don't want to die, but I also don't want to be a bad person..."
Clark frowned as he saw this situation, and with a turn of his gun, he aimed at Matthew and Estrella.
One second before he pulled the trigger, Selena's cold voice entered his ears, "The decision is in my hands. Shouldn't you ask me?"
Clark paused his actions, turned the gun towards Selena, and smiled, "Miss Turner, are you prepared to give me the most satisfactory answer?"
Selena raised an eyebrow and stepped out of the encirclement, "I'm just curious, why are you so confident that you can threaten me?"
Clark's expression suddenly darkened, he tightened the remote control in his hand, and his smile deepened, "Miss Turner, I have to remind you that if you choose to sacrifice so many innocent lives for yourself, the Turner family's reputation will be destroyed in your hands!"
Selena stepped forward, her cold gaze on Clark, "No one will die except for you and Leah."
As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes turned towards her.
The people who were crying in fear had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
Clark pressed the red button on the remote control hard and his tone finally became cold, "Miss Turner, do you think I dare not act or are you too confident in yourself?"
Selena smiled and walked towards him calmly, "You can try."
Clark sneered and pressed the remote control in front of the terrified crowd.
