Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047 Don’t You Fear That I’ll Kill Her

In an instant, the air around Colton turned frosty, and his face darkened, too. His arms kept tightening around Nicole's waist as he struggled to suppress the rage inside him.

Nicole clearly sensed the man's rage. This was a rare time when she saw him being so furious; the Colton she knew was always mature, reserved, and calm no matter what happened.

Colton lowered his eyes to hide a sharp flicker in his dark pupils. After a long while, he slowly replied, "Seems like we've got nothing more to say. Since you have a death wish, I have nothing else to say. It'll take about a day for my troops to assemble. I hope you can move all your people and stuff away from here by this time tomorrow, or I'll personally flatten this place."

His words were emphatic and spoken in a tone that brooked no argument.

Not expecting him to be so ruthless, Jerry turned pale at once. His eyes fixed squarely on the man, he asked through clenched teeth, "Colton Gardner, your sister is still in my hands right now! Don't you fear that I'll kill her?" He didn't believe that Colton would really give up on his own sister!

Colton rested his hand in his palm. He slowly replied, "I'll avenge her, of course. Whatever you do to her, I'll pay it back to you a hundred times over."

Jerry really panicked at the sight of the menacing air that emanated from the man. Little did he expect Colton to be so ruthless as to leave his own sister in the lurch! His face clouded over; inwardly, he began to crack. There was no way he could really surrender his enormous property for the sake of a woman, nor did he dare to bet on it. If Colton was really associated with Pioneers, its troops could absolutely raze this place to the ground once they stepped in!

Just when he was contemplating, a voice broke the silence. "Okay. As long as you dare to send a person in here, I'll give Wendy a jab. I wonder how many jabs she can take at her age. I won't kill her, but I can make her life a living hell."

A clear and vicious female voice broke the silence. It belonged to Sasha, who was dressed in black with makeup on. Compared to before, she seemed to emanate a hostile air from within.

Colton's eyes darkened. Stubbing his cigarette out on the table, he stood up with Nicole in his arms before carefully setting her down on the floor. Then, he replied, "You may go ahead and give it a try."

There was a powerful charge in the air when his eyes met Sasha's.

Sasha looked sideways at Jerry. Narrowing her eyes, she said with a hint of disdain in her voice, "How could you get this scared as a man? Can't you tell that he's bluffing you?"

Jerry's face turned sullen at the humiliation. Clenching his fists tightly, he said with mean-looking eyes, "I don't care about the old scores between you two. What we agreed on previously was that we could give it a go if it was just Wolf, but now the troops are also involved—"

A hint of disgust flitted across Sasha's face. Can't this idiot tell that Colton is bluffing? And yet he falls for it hook, line, and sinker! She walked to where Colton had sat just now and turned his hole card over; just as she expected, it wasn't the Ace of Spades. She looked up at Jerry, a slight smirk curving her bright red lips. She asked under her breath, "Do you see it now? He was just calling your bluff. How could he possibly give up on his own sister? Even if he could, would those elders in his family let him do that?"

Her words made Jerry think back a little. Indeed, he had been led by the nose by Colton the whole time and had almost laid his cards on the table just now. Even if he were to hand over Wendy right now, he would probably have to fight Colton head-on.
