Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 398

Chapter 402

"Don't think that I'm terrified of you. Even with Hanson around, you'll still have to pay the price for murder."

Melanie refused to back down as she met Vania's eyes with outrage, confident that Vania didn't dare to do anything to her now.

If looks could kill, Melanie would be dead just by how murderous Vania's glower was. Finally, Vania repeated, "Hand over the antidote."

"What antidote? What are you talking about?" Melanie came across as a victim by claiming ignorance of Vania's forceful inquiries.

"I'll make you understand, then."

Once more, Vania exerted more force through her hands, and Melanie started having breathing difficulties as her irises enlarged with dread.

Josie couldn't care less whether Vania would hit her again or not and lunged when she saw the situation taking a turn for the worse. "Release her, Vania Greyson. She'll die if you continue like this!"

Josie pulled and tugged at her madly, but she remained as still as a mountain.

"That's exactly what I want."

Nobody thought she was kidding at the moment because if she had used a little more force right now, Melanie could genuinely kiss her life goodbye.

Melanie's cheeks were splotchy as she gasped for breath while she cried for her life.

Then, George spoke again, saying, "That's enough. What on earth are you doing, Vania?"


Still, she refused to move an inch. "Are you handing it over or not?"

Melanie couldn't utter a word, but she shook her head even though her breath turned wheezy.

Josie couldn't take it anymore, so she yanked on Vania. "Let go! I'm not repeating myself twice!"

Vania sent her flying again with another kick, but Josie was determined to fight it out with her this time. Hence, she got to her feet again, and before she could get close to Vania, Hanson kicked her to the floor.

As she winced in pain, she shrieked, "Dear, help me! Otherwise, Melanie will die. She's our only daughter!"

It didn't strike George that Hanson would also attack; he was a little scared. Yet, when he saw Josie on the floor and unable to get up, he toughened up and grabbed Vania. "That's enough."

Vania swiveled her head and stared him down as she sneered. "How is this enough? It's far off from enough." Then, she glared at Melanie with daggers in her eyes. "I want you to pay with your life!" she spat callously.

Right now, George had placed himself in front of Melanie, appearing as though Vania had to get over his dead body first before he could get to Melanie.

Hmph, they are a family at the end of the day, Vania thought, and she suddenly felt that it was meaningless to strangle Melanie to death just like this because she didn't deserve such an easy death. There was still plenty of time ahead of them, and if Jude didn't recover, Melanie could only dream of living a peaceful life.

Josie heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Vania had finally released her grip on Melanie's frail neck. Meanwhile, Melanie felt herself returning to life in an instant. After that, she dashed toward Josie's side, but before she could reach her, she was stopped by some men in black who had barged in out of the blue.

"Take her away," Vania ordered in a somber tone. These were the people she had called on the way here.

Thus, a dozen bodyguards swarmed forward and locked onto Melanie without warning.

"Ah! What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Melanie planted her feet firmly on the floor as she refused to be dragged away. Despite that, how could one person break free from more than ten men? Hence, she was effortlessly dragged away by the men.

The sudden appearance of so many people petrified Josie to her bones, and when she saw Melanie being dragged away, she set everything aside and pounced at them. "Where are you taking her? Let her go…"

One of the bodyguards merely pushed her aside with slight force, and she staggered to the floor.

As her pathetic figure was strewn on the floor, she wailed, "Vania Greyson, I won't let you off!"
