He did not have the birthmark that Jacinta was looking for, and that was something she had checked a long time ago.
Nevertheless, the fact that he might know something could not be ruled out.
At the thought of that, Winnie scrunched up her brows.
She kept the gun trained on the back of Zyon’s neck and said, “It looks like you’ve done your research. You even know that my granny’s looking for her grandson.”
“Of course.” Zyon gave her a smile in an attempt to appease her. “I did say we’re cousins. Of course I’d know about my grandma—”
“Shut it.” Disgust rose into her throat when Winnie heard Zyon call them cousins.
As she put more weight on the gun, she snapped, “Stop saying revolting things like that!”
“Okay, okay. I know you’re a ruthless character, but everything I’ve said is real. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your granny about it. How else do you I think I was able to—”
Right in the middle of Zyon’s sentence, Jacinta bolted over. “Shut your mouth right now!”
Even Xavier and the others ran over as well.
The moment they arrived, they trained all of their guns on Zyon.
Zyon dared not even take a breath too deep. As he lifted his hands, he slowly turned toward Jacinta.
“Grandma, hurry up and tell my cousin to let me go. I’m your real grandson. You can’t let your bloodline die with me. You’ve been looking for me for so many years. Are you going to watch your granddaughter kill your grandson?”
“Shut up and stop your nonsense! Who’s your grandma? You’re really saying everything you can just to stay alive, aren’t you?”
Jacinta had only helped Zyon because she wanted her kin to live. However, ever since he had taken her hostage on the boat, everything else he did only made her heart sink.
She knew that her relationship with her grandson was not fated to be.
That was exactly why she did not wish to lose her granddaughter.
If her granddaughter were to find out that she was the one who started the fire back at the Fairchild residence to kill Rufus and that she was the one who let Zyon go and planned for Zyon to kidnap her, her granddaughter would never forgive her.
Moreover, her granddaughter might even cut ties with her, and that was something she did not wish to see.
That was why she had made up her mind to keep Zyon’s mouth shut for the rest of her life.
It’s not like he’s a good soul either. The crimes he has committed will earn him several death sentences.
With that thought in mind, Jacinta took out the pistol she had been hiding in her pocket. She had taken it from a dead person.
With a bang, she fired the first shot she had ever made in her life.
However, she was unskilled in shooting, and hence, it was a miss.
Instead of hitting Zyon, the bullet scraped past his shoulder and buried itself in the ground behind him.
Nevertheless, the action of firing was no longer as unfamiliar to Jacinta when she fired the second and third shots as the two bullets struck him.
The moment the bullets went into Zyon’s chest, Zyon widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe that an elderly woman who called herself his grandmother would be the one to end his life.
