She glanced at Isabel, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness and sarcasm. "You don't even care about Isabel's life, do you?"
Christ's eyes flickered with coldness as he looked at the girl across from him. She was clearly a weak woman with no strength, but she was so arrogant and domineering, so audacious.
No one had ever dared to threaten him like this before!
Christ lowered his eyes, concealing the coldness in his eyes. He casually snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and spoke in a deep voice, "Put down what you have, and I'll pretend this never happened."
At these words, Isabel's jealous face twisted in pain.
Because of her relationship with the red agate, Christ used to dote on her endlessly without any limits. She could make him drop everything just by showing interest.
Isabel used to act spoiled in order to enjoy this love and affection.
But now, after Selena crippled her legs, he didn't care.
Even if Selena wanted to kill her right in front of him, he planned to just smooth things over and move on.
Was this the difference in treatment between a real and a fake one?
The extreme contrast made Isabel resentful and heartbroken. She cried pitifully, "Brother, save me, it hurts so much..."
Selena smiled without warmth and turned the glass shard in her hand, stabbing it fiercely into Isabel's shoulder.
Blood immediately began to flow.
Christ suddenly looked up, his gaze darkening.
Isabel screamed in agony, but couldn't make a sound because of the pain.
Selena grabbed Isabel's hair and pulled her up, glaring at Christ with a fierce and dark look. She licked her lips and smiled, "Isabel and I have a grudge. I want her dead. So don't test whether I dare to do it... next time, I'll stab her in the neck!"
Christ stared at her.
Selena's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, her delicate lips slightly curved as if inviting someone to kiss her.
Christ's gaze darkened, and a dangerous light flickered in his eyes. The hostility on his body receded slightly, and he asked softly, "What do you want?"
Usually, the person who asks this question at the negotiating table means that they are willing to compromise and make concessions.
Selena raised her chin and sneered coldly, "Let me go!"
Christ's eyes were covered with a layer of shadow, but his tone remained flat. "Anything except for this and Isabel's life."
Selena's black eyes met his, "But what about the rest? I don't need them, or rather, I already have them. What should I do?"
A gentle yet ruthless curve appeared on Christ's lips, "Listen to me, don't test my patience, or you'll regret it..."
Selena gave a light snort.
If it weren't for the fact that Christ had almost killed her before, she would have believed that he was a good person from his expression.
Christ decided that he would drag this girl to wash her face as soon as he caught her, judging from her arrogant and sarcastic expression.
Perhaps the reason he had been unable to find her was because of the thick makeup on her face.
Seeing Isabel's indifference to Christ's threat, Selena's gaze darkened as she looked at Isabel and sneered, "It seems like he doesn't dote on you as much as the rumors say. You almost died because of me, yet he didn't even react..."
"That's only because it was you who did it!"
Isabel was furious and collapsed on the ground, covered in blood, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Brother, save me, it hurts so much... She'll really kill me..."
Christ frowned as he looked at the blood on Isabel's body.
He wanted to teach Isabel a lesson, but that didn't mean he could tolerate Selena killing her.
He had promised to protect the girl, who had saved him, for life. He would stand by his promise no matter what.
At this thought, Christ's eyes grew deeper.
He glanced discreetly in a certain direction behind Selena.
The next second, Selena heard an extremely faint sound of breaking wind behind her.
Her intuition had been trained to be extremely sharp by Osvaldo recently, and as soon as she heard the direction, she realized it was not good. She no longer cared about Isabel and dodged to the side.
Her slim waist arched into an amazing curve in midair, narrowly avoiding the small syringe.
Selena spun around and stopped, looking at the syringe that fell to the ground beneath her feet, with clear liquid inside. Her eyes immediately became extremely cold.
Meanwhile, after breaking free, Isabel immediately threw herself into Christ's arms and blocked his attempt to grab Selena.
Isabel grabbed his sleeve and cried out, "Brother, it hurts so much, kill her, kill her..."
Christ's gaze suddenly darkened, and he impatiently threw her to the maid beside him, then looked up and met Selena's resentful eyes. "Throw the thing away and come here!" he commanded.
Selena sneered and the next second, she put the bloodstained glass shard against her own neck.
"You went through all this trouble to catch me, so I must have some special purpose for you... I just don't know if you can achieve your goal if I get hurt or die," she said.
Selena certainly wouldn't actually hurt herself.
Even if she was caught by Christ, she had other ways to escape.
By doing this, she was both buying time and trying to test what this man, who was relentlessly pursuing her, really wanted.
Christ came from the capital, so his goal could only be related to Lady Nevaeh.
But if that was really the case, then he should be looking for Selena, not her current self.
This face of hers had only appeared in her homeland before.
If someone in her homeland really had their eye on her...
Selena was suddenly horrified, and her eyes became icy.
Christ suddenly froze, his eyes showing a cold and violent light. "Put it down!" he ordered.
Isabel was frightened by his voice.
She looked at Christ's bloodshot eyes, and felt like her blood was flowing backwards, taking several steps back.
She had known Christ for so many years, but had never seen him show such a terrifying look.
He was afraid that Selena would hurt herself!
Isabel was so jealous that she was about to go crazy. She had thought about becoming Christ's woman directly, but he didn't like her, he only allowed her to call him brother.
Christ was so nervous about Selena, even though he had only met her a few times...
Isabel's face twisted.
Selena raised an eyebrow and evaluated Christ's reaction in her heart, wondering what it meant.
But before she could figure anything out, Christ suddenly flashed over and reached out to grab the glass shard in her hand...
