Dempsey stood up suddenly. The shock on his face was no less than that of being struck by lightning. He glared at Amelia in disbelief.
Amelia was so anxious that she broke into a cold sweat. She desperately pressed the remote control, trying to turn off the video, but it was useless.
The video on the big screen continued playing.
"I don't want it! I don't want to die for Dempsey! If you want to kill him, kill him, don't kill me!"
Amelia cried out, and viciously pushed Victoria out:
"She's willing! She's willing to die for Dempsey! Take Victoria! She's willing!"
The thug, amused, directed his attention towards the tied-up Victoria, taunting, "How interesting, you were comforting Amelia just now, but she sold you out in a blink of an eye, haha!"
Victoria remained silent.
The gangster turned to Victoria, pointing at the unconscious Dempsey, "Speak up! Are you willing to die for this useless guy?"
Seeing this, Dempsey suddenly clenched his fists nervously.
What would Victoria's answer be?
What would she do to his brother?
In the next second, Victoria closed her eyes in the video. In such a chaotic and dangerous environment, the girl's pure eyes were still full of stars, tenacious and bright. Amelia was already crying herself into a mess.
Victoria looked at the man in front of her, and her voice was as clear as a knock on ice. "I'm willing. But you have to keep your word and let them go."
The moment she said that Dempsey's brain thumped and he even stopped breathing.
Victoria actually said that she was willing...
He hated and despised Victoria since she had been brought home. He either beat or insulted her, and he never treated her well.
But when it came to life and death, she was actually willing to die for his bad brother...
And Amelia, whom he had always loved like his biological sister, callously abandoned him without any hesitation. She did not care about whether he lived or died...
How could this be...
Dempsey's heart suddenly became confused. The video continued, and overwhelmed by emotions, he took a step back, grasping a nearby table for support.
The onlookers, initially brought by Amelia, were also taken aback. They never thought that the person who was willing to die for Dempsey was not Amelia, but Victoria, who had been abandoned by the Montgomery family and did not want to see her at all!
Why was it the other way around?
Could it be that Amelia had been lying and deceiving Dempsey?
Although Amelia had brought this group of people over, seeing this unexpected change in the situation, they were unable to say anything to help her.
As everyone processed the situation, their gaze shifted to Amelia, who felt the weight of their judgment.
With strange looks directed at her, Amelia was uneasy. The atmosphere turned tense, and all eyes were on her.
At this time, the video was still playing on the big screen, giving her no chance to argue.
The thug kicked the unconscious Dempsey and slammed the door.
Only Victoria, Amelia, and the unconscious Dempsey were left in the room.
Amelia cried so much: "Sister, I... I was too scared just now. I didn't mean to push you out. I really didn't mean to... "
Victoria looked at her without saying a word, her light gaze seemingly penetrating.
Amelia choked: "Sister, don't worry if this gangster lets me go, I will make sure father and mother come over in time to save you and brother!"
Victoria did not say a word. She quietly moved the chair next to Amelia, discreetly helping her untie the ropes.
