She warned, “Don’t move, all of you, or else, I’ll kill that girl in front of your eyes!”

The others standing at the door immediately froze, while David, who was kneeling by the door, didn’t dare to act rashly. 

“Macve, please, don’t do this,” David pleaded. “If you have any grievances, direct them at me. I’m their father. It’s my responsibility to bear them.” 

“It’s not your fault; it never was,” Maeve said with a hint of indifference. Yet, a fierce determination was evident in her eyes. “In fact, I’ve stopped loving you. But… I… I have no other choice.” She knew things wouldn’t end well for her, so she was resolved to take someone down together. 

In truth, she had already lost her sanity, her actions devoid of any logic. The dreams she couldn’t fulfill; she wished for her daughter to achieve. If only David hadn’t been with Selena back then, she believed she would have had a chance. Just like now, with Isabella absent from Alexander’s side, she thought her daughter would have a shot. 

She found herself unable to think clearly, forgetting that she had once ruined Alexander and was on the verge of becoming a murderer. 

Everything didn’t go as she had hoped. Yet, she was stubbornly determined to proceed. 

Alexander knew that negotiation had already become impossible, and he needed to come up with a plan. He needed to stay calm, yet he couldn’t risk provoking Maeve or letting her know about his intentions. 

Isabella thought, What should I do? I must find a way to save myself. At the very least… I can’t drag others down with me. I need to make Alexander leave my side. 

Alexander’s eyes flickered for a moment as he said softly, “I will never leave your side, never.” 

Isabella was taken aback. 

Alexander continued, “Let’s figure this out together. You won’t drag outsiders into this because I’m not an outsider to you. We’re in this together, through thick and thin, so you can’t push me away.” 

Isabella was dumbfounded. How is it that he knows every word I’m thinking, could it be telepathy? 

Alexander said with a smile, “Our minds are in sync; not just me, but the whole family shares it. So, Bella, think… Think as much as you can.” 

Isabella was bewildered, but the current situation didn’t allow her to dwell on the matter. 

Upon hearing this, Maeve sneered, “So, this is your idea of a proper farewell, spouting nonsense? Step aside, Alexander. This is no laughing matter. If your face gets ruined, my daughter won’t be pleased.” 

In the end, disregarding everyone’s reactions, Alexander reached out, pulling Isabella into his arms and holding her tightly. He was subsequently covered in gasoline. 

“Ahh!” Isabella exclaimed, her eyes meeting Alexander’s. His gaze was filled with unwavering determination, and she found herself nodding in response. 

Isabella was deeply moved.

“Do you want to die together?” Maeve asked in surprise 

Finished 

Isabella thought, If everyone can really hear me, the best course of action now would be to grab a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. 

Isabella spotted two figures huddled at the door, it was Rosalie and Evian. Each of them held a fire. extinguisher, yet they dared not step forward, fearful of provoking Maeve. They knew that if things went awry, there wouldn’t be enough time to save her, given how close Isabella was to the source of the fire. Their distance was too great, making it nearly impossible to intervene effectively. 

Alexander said, “There’s no time.” 

“What?” Maeve had no idea what Alexander was talking about. 

Isabella suddenly understood, and in the next moment, she caught a look from Alexander.
