Elliot decided the night before that he was going to take revenge for his mother.
If the one who killed her was his brother, then he would kill Henry. If it was Cole, then he would kill him.
It did not matter who begged for their lives.
His fingers tightened around the gun as he aimed it at Cole. He began to count in his head, "One, two, three..."
A bang echoed through the entire mansion as a bullet shot in Cole's direction!
Cole was so terrified that he forgot to scream.
All he saw was a black silhouette flash before his eyes. Immediately after, this silhouette let out a blood curdling cry.
Cole watched as his mother fell into his arms, and saw the blood oozing from the corner of her lips!
He realized that his mother had taken the bullet for him!
"Mom! Mom!" Cole wailed in agony as he held his mother in his arms.
Downstairs, Henry witnessed the entire thing and instantly rushed up the stairs.
"Olivia! Olivia! You can't die, Olivia! I'll take you to the hospital! I’ll take you there right away!"
Henry made it up the stairs and grabbed his wife from his son’s arms.
As he carried Olivia down the stairs. Cole trailed along behind them.
When they walked past Elliot, not only did they not stop in their tracks, but they also quickened their steps.
Elliot was still holding the gun in his hand.
The one he wanted to kill was Cole. What if he did not give up until he achieved that goal?
Elliot was different from everyone else in their family. He was more cold-hearted than any of them.
This was precisely why they all feared him.
