Amelia’s move was actually slow which Lillian could have dodged, but out of some sort of sordid purpose, she didn’t even try.
Amelia didn’t mean to hold Lillian hostage, but now it seemed like abducting her was the best way to get money.
Lawrence’s heart’s was colder than she thought in mind. If he didn’t want to save Leigh, he wouldn’t give her money in a million years. Well, since he cared about Lillian that much, he might compromise to save her.
To Lawrence, Lillian’s life was much valuable than her.
While making up her mind, Amelia nudged the knife closed to Lillian’s heart. She can easily prick Lillian’s skin if she just added a little bit of strength.
Lillian than screamed hysterically, “Lawrence, help me! Amelia is crazy. She wants to kill me!”
Hearing Lillian’s screeching, Lawrence finally walked downstairs.
Seeing Amelia, his face darkened even more.
“Amelia. Let go of Lillian!”
“Lawrence, give me ten million yuan, or I will kill Lillian right away!” while speaking, Amelia pricked Amelia even harder.
Lillian’s face was ghastly pale and seemed to be panicking. But she was still acting. Her watery eyes were filled with tears, “Amelia, why are you doing this to me?”
“I know that you are mad at me because I have Lawrence now, but it was you who gave up him first. What did I do wrong? Why are you trying to hurt me once and once again?”
“Lillian, stop acting!”
Lillian’s hypocrisy made Amelia nauseous. She then said, “Lillian, why are you always faking? Won’t you be disgusted by yourself?”
Amelia then just ignored Lillian and looked at Lawrence while trying to hold back her tears, “Lawrence, ten million yuan or Lillian’s life?”
Actually, Amelia didn’t want to threaten Lawrence.
She wanted to tell me, ‘Lawrence, would you please save our son? He is really your own flesh and blood. You would regret it for your whole life if you don’t save him.’
But she knew deep down that he wouldn’t believe her, so she can only try to get the money using this kind of desperate measure.
“Lawrence, I’m in so much pain...” Eyebrows knitted, Lillian acted delicate.
Lawrence glared at Amelia and ordered fiercely, “Amelia, let go of Lillian!”
“I’ve told you. Give me ten million yuan or...”
But at the next second, the knife in Amelia’s hand was suddenly kicked away.
While the knife was kicked away, it cut Amelia’s wrist. Though it just was a shallow cut, Amelia’s wrist still started bleeding which was strangely beautiful.
Amelia drooped her face. Her move seemed so frigid and slow like the slow motions in movies.
Noticing the blood on her wrist, she suddenly started laughing wildly.
She still ended up losing miserably.
‘Lawrence, what happened to us?”
“Lillian, are you okay?” Hugging Lillian tightly in his arms, Lawrence was incredibly gently which Amelia hadn’t experienced for years.
“Lawrence, I’m so scared. Amelia was insane...” Lillian acted like she was frightened and was trembling in Lawrence’s arms, “Lawrence, I’m afraid...”
“Lillian, don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you!”
