Sharon opened her eyes and woke up. She didn't know where she was, and it was pitch-black all around her. She sat up and touched the wall, guessing that she was locked up in a small room.
She had no idea how long she had been locked up. Was it an hour, or two hours?
The last scene before she was knocked unconscious flash through her mind, which made her feel sad.
Bartor...
Bartor was shot because he wanted to protect her.
She did not know whether he was alive or dead; she hoped that he was alive. If he died because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Leaning against the wall, Sharon sat down. She was so angry she was scraping the floor with her fingernails, which caused some screeching sounds.
Not long after, there was suddenly a sound that came through the darkness. It was the sound of footsteps, and in the next second, the lights were turned on. Sharon raised her head and looked coldly at the middle-aged man who was walking towards her.
It was none other than Isai.
When Sharon first saw him, she was shocked and terrified. She had never thought that Isai would actually appear here.
The only thing that made her happy was that since Isai was here, it meant that the two children in Beachmarsh City are safe.
Isai came to her and signaled with his eyes. Someone immediately pulled Sharon up from the ground and put her on the chair.
"Surprised that I'm here?"
With a smile, Isai looked at her.
Before she could reply, Isai spoke again, "I didn't want to come here either, but I had no choice. I was forced into such a state by my powerful son. He's very capable. Not only did he get people close to me to turn sides, but he even tricked me into letting my guard down. That's how I fell into his trap. What a powerful man he is, huh? Even as a father, I'm a little scared, let alone you."
Sharon shook off his hand. "Why should I be afraid of my husband?"
"Don't you think he is too cold- blooded and ruthless to even kill his own father?"
How could he say such a shameless thing?
Sharon laughed, as if she just heard a joke. "Isai, do you think you're worthy of being a father? You've ruined that father-son relationship of yours, so why are you blaming him for killing you?"
In the face of her insults, Isai was not angry. "If I really wanted to kill him, he would have died long ago. He wouldn't have survived this long. But it seems that he really wants to kill me."
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
"Believe it or not, it's a fact that he can live such a long and peaceful life."
Speaking of this, Isai paused and added faintly, "Now I will not let him live so easily. He must die."
A son who regarded himself as an enemy was expendable.
Sharon broke out in a cold sweat. "What are you trying to do?"
"Take you as bait and let him come to me. We've made this decision."
Isai didn't hide anything from her.
Sharon stared at him in a daze. From the look in his eyes, she could tell that he really wanted to kill him this time. If Stanley came looking for Isai, he definitely wouldn't let him off.
The hatredful gaze of Isai was slowly withdrawn, and Sharon's emotions slowly calmed down.
Sharon said with a calm expression, "I beg you not because I wanted to, but because of my children. I want to live for them. If I don't have children, I definitely won't be begging. Isai, it seems that you don't regard yourself as a father and you don't acknowledge yourself as a father. If you and your child are in danger, you won't die for your child. The most likely thing is that you'll want to live and sacrifice your own child."
He was a selfish man who cared little about his family. He was affectionless and always put himself first.
Sharon sympathized with the fact that Stanley had such a father. Compared to her mother, Evonne, he was thousands of times more abominable.
"Have you ever given Stanley tender loving care? Have you ever existed during his childhood? Have you told him that as a man, he should be responsible and open-minded? These are all very ordinary things. Have you ever given him some?"
Sharon raised her head and looked him in the eye. "Do you still think that you're a successful father? No, the word 'successful' can't be used on you, Isai. Do you think you're even qualified to be a father?"
"What do you know? You don't know anything!"
His eyes were like a sword that stared at her coldly. With his big hand, he reached out and grabbed Sharon's neck. His palm tightened bit by bit, almost wanting to strangle her to death.
As her breath slowly began to die away, Sharon felt as though she would die in the next second.
She sneered.
It seemed that what she said could change his mood greatly. It seemed that her words directly stabbed him in the heart.
Was she going to die?
As she thought about this, she closed her eyes in despair.
"Bang...." A huge boom could be heard, igniting the pitch-black night.
