As Mei spoke, she pressed the gun harder against Joy's soft, tiny body.
Madness swirled in her eyes; as long as she held the little brat, she had the upper hand.
So what if Remington found them?
They would be too afraid of collateral damage to act, no matter how many men they brought.
Comforting herself with this thought, she found her courage and her panic subsided, making her voice even shriller.
"I told you all to back off, right now!"
Yet, Remington stood his ground, glaring at her with a predatory gaze.
"If you pull that trigger, I guarantee your entire family won't live past tonight. That includes your second son's family hiding overseas."
Mei's complexion paled, and the hand holding the gun trembled.
She never expected him to uncover her second son's whereabouts.
Remington intended to wipe them out completely.
A chilling wave swept through her body, leaving fear and hesitation in her eyes.
Ray scoffed coldly.
"Mei, aren't you going to ask how your eldest son and grandson are doing? We've cast an inescapable net over this place and all of Zion City. You're not getting away today. I suggest you hand over the young master right now to spare your own life. If you stubbornly persist, no one will be able to save your family."
As Ray spoke, he stepped aside, allowing someone to toss an object down the steps.
"Take a good look."
Mei instantly caught the heavy, metallic scent of blood as the object hit the ground.
The hired hitman shielding her backed up two steps, giving her a clear view of the severed limb rolling on the floor.
The bloody arm still wore a familiar mechanical watch with a black strap.
She recognized the watch her eldest son had been wearing when he left just moments ago—now attached to a freshly severed hand.

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
