My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 487

Meanwhile, on the peak of the mountain, Amos saw a flash of light approaching him. They were too close to each other. It was too late for him to avoid it!

Kesha didn't flinch at all and she pierced the tip of the knife through his abdomen.

"You'd never thought that you would die like this, did you, Amos?"

Amos kicked Kesha away immediately, but his wound was already slowly bleeding out. He could not regain his strength for a while.

The next second, Kesha pulled her knife up forcefully. Amos thought that she was going to give him another blow, but instead, Kesha had already thrown the knife in front of Steven. She laughed horrifically as she said, "Amos, I thought that you were smarter than this. Did you think that I would kill you?"

Amos furrowed his eyebrows, and the next second Kesha had already turned to look at Steven.

"Don't you want to avenge your parents? This is your best chance. Now that he's injured, he's certainly no match for you. As long as you take this knife and kill Amos, your wish would come true."

Amos suddenly realized that what Kesha hoped for was for him and Steven to kill each other.

"Steven, don't forget what I told you just now. What happened to your parents had nothing to do with me."

Amos was not afraid of Steven, yet he didn't want them to be toyed around like string puppets by Kesha.

He moved forward subconsciously. Unexpectedly, a group of men rushed out from behind him. Amos knew at a glance that these men were thugs who would do terrible things just to survive.

These people had nowhere else to go. They would do anything as long as they were paid.

Those men immediately surrounded Amos in a blink of an eye.

"Don't move! Else we might give you some pleasant treatment."

Amos snorted. It seemed that he had truly underestimated Kesha this time. However, since he had not finished with what he came for, he stood rooted on the spot, patiently waiting for what she was about to do next.

Satisfied, Kesha looked at Amos who was being surrounded at that moment. She then walked to Steven and peered down at him.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that you're so great? Why are you acting like a coward now then?"

Kesha had always taken the effort to please Steven in the past. She would treat him gently and flatter him all the time. It was ironic that she was now looking at him with such disdain and disgust, humiliating him and calling him a coward.

Steven really couldn't stand it anymore.

He struggled to get up and picked up the knife that was covered with Amos' blood.

"Amos, let's finish what we've started!"

Amos remained speechless. "How many times do I have to tell you, I had nothing to do with your parents' death..."

Steven hesitated, but Kesha was twisting the reality and telling lies to provoke him further.

"Do you really believe it? Are there really that many coincidences in life? Even if it really has nothing to do with him, don't forget that he and Bethany are in it together. As long as both of them are still alive, you will never be able to avenge your parents. In fact, you will always be a good-for-nothing!"

Kesha's words were like daggers. It slowly but steadily carved into Steven's heart one by one.

He recalled the time when Hank died. Back then, the Granger family had suddenly lost an heir. His uncle once wanted to hand that title to him.

At that time, his father also acquiesced and even began to train him.

At that time, he had a spotlight shining brightly on him. Even the servants who once looked down on them were treating them with more respect.

That was the first time he had felt the significance of power in life. It was also the first time he heard a desire so strong, it was shouting at him in his heart.

He knew deep down that he must grasp this opportunity.

However, everything was ruined when Amos was found and eventually returned to the Granger family. He no longer had the respect he had previously earned!

He desperately wanted to perform well in front of his father. At that time, he really thought that if the amusement park was opened, their family would then be free from his uncle's control and could finally live their days happily.

However, his father left before he could even prove himself.

In fact, he regretted not listening to his father and confronted Amos as soon as he came back. If he didn't do so, perhaps his father would not have died, would he?

Was he really the worthless wretch that Kesha had described him to be?

Steven shook his head. "No, I'm not worthless!"

As if it was just to prove himself, he sprinted to Amos with the knife in his hand.

Amos was unarmed and injured. Steven had a knife, so he knew he had the upper hand.

After a few strikes, Amos had new wounds forming on several parts of his body. Steven calculated the right timing and aimed his knife to stab Amos again.

With a bang, a rock flew from behind and hit the handle of the knife.

The knife in Steven's hands also dropped to the ground. The thugs next to them had their heads turned towards the direction of this interruption.

"Who's there?!"

"It is I, your grandfather!" Harley strolled his way out to show himself and gazed at the thugs with sharp eyes. Behind him was Clint, whose sleeves had been rolled up.

The thugs looked at each other and let out breaths of relief.

"Do you think that you're a match for us?"

Harley snorted and exclaimed, "What do you think?"
