Shoot?
All of a sudden, I don't know if she means really "shoot" or just an exaggeration.
After hesitating for a while, I'm so stunned that I get dumbfounded.
"No, I won't."
No matter what she says, I can't do it.
"I know Frances takes you to learn how to use guns these days. Do you think that you still have some bargaining room?" Hilda's ice-cold voice freezes my heart.
However, can I shoot at Frances?
I love him too much to shoot at him.
I'd rather hurt myself than put him in any danger.
Moreover, doesn't Hilda like Frances? Why does she want me to do this?
I don't understand.
"You love Frances so much, why are you doing this? If you can't get him, you want to destroy him?"
"Humph," Hilda sneers and replies, "Don't overthink this. I want you to shoot him but not to die. I heard that your shooting is not bad. So, it's not difficult to miss a little. Well, if you kill him, I can only say that it just isn't meant to be."
I don't expect Hilda to say such words so casually.
This woman is truly terrifying.
Moreover, she's far more terrifying than I have imagined.
I can't guarantee that I won't kill Frances. I don't dare to gamble with Frances’ life.
"Of course, you can also choose to marry Frances. Since you are still young, you can have one or two kids easily." Seeing that I say nothing, Hilda begins to irritate me.
Yes.
Frances and I can still have other children. However, they won't be Earl.
And this will be the pain of my life.
In any case, Hilda doesn't want to kill Frances.
For the sake of Earl, I don't seem to have a choice but to agree.
