The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1041

Sue only saw Anthony and Andy. Although Charles also came along, he was accompanying Sheryl nearby. Sue glanced at Anthony and asked, "What about you?"

"You just go. Don't worry about us," Anthony replied as he narrowed his eyes. He had made great efforts to have the opportunity to catch Allen. He must stay here and teach Allen a hard lesson.

Peggy's mouth was still covered by Anthony's hand, so she couldn't make any noise. Though, she still tried to struggle against his grip in an attempt to alert Allen.

Anthony leaned in close to Peggy's ear and said, in a threatening toner, "Behave yourself, otherwise I will be forced to teach you a lesson now."

Peggy couldn't respond, but her eyes were full of deep seeded hatred.

As Anthony held Peggy's hands behind her back using the strength of his free hand, he was unable to see the death stare on Peggy's face. But Sue was able to see it clearly.

She curled her lips into a wry smile and lowered her voice, "Please don't blame me. When Allen chose to kill Doris, you should have known that the end wouldn't be good for him. Even if I let you go today, the police wouldn't allow you to escape. Especially you were willing to assist him in escaping.

Hearing what Sue had said, Peggy glared at her with her eyes ablaze with the fires of hatred, loathing, and revulsion.

"Here, just tie her up with the rope. Then we can handle Allen," Andy suggested with a calm voice.

"Okay," Anthony said, agreeing that tying her up would be the best solution before tackling Allen. Then he brought a rope and tied Peggy's hands behind her back. For a brief moment, he removed his hand from her mouth. As soon as he did, she seized that moment to yell out to alert Allen. As loud as she could, she screamed, "Allen, run, run…"

Hearing Peggy's voice, Allen immediately awoke from his slumber. He looked around and saw that Sue wasn't here. He hastily rushed out and saw that Andy and Anthony had already tied up Peggy.

Seeing that Sue was still lingering around and hadn't left as he had instructed, Anthony set a tied up Peggy aside and immediately positioned Sue behind himself. He began to reprimand her, "I told you to get out of here and find Sheryl!. What are you still doing here?"

"I…" Sue flashed him a defiant, stubborn smile. Then she added, "I'm not leaving here without you. When you leave, then I'll leave."

Anthony, realizing that there was nothing he could do to change her resolve, took a deep breath, and replied helplessly, "Fine, but you must stand far away here. Be careful and don't allow Allen to get close to you."

"Okay," Sue nodded her head slightly. Then she walked far away and stood behind where Peggy was tied up. Seeing what a situation now was, Allen began to curse bitterly, "Sue, you are such an ungrateful bitch! How could you do this to me? I even bought some food for you to eat when I went out. I'm warning you, untie mom and let her go now. If you do not, I promise I will make you regret it!"

"Allen, stop being so stubborn," Sue parted her lips slightly as she smirked a little. She began to try and persuade Allen, "You can't continue to do the wrong things and expect that you're not going to have to pay for them. Just give up, admit your guilt and accept your punishment."

"Shut up!" Allen yelled at Sue, his cheeks bright red.

He then smiled maliciously and glared at Anthony and Andy. "I will make all of you pay for this! Even if not today. You'd better pray that I never get ahold of you. For if I do, I will surely kill you on the spot. Since you choose to threaten my livelihood, I will make sure you suffer greatly."

As he finished, Allen took a knife out and pointed it at Anthony and Andy. "Come and get me if you have the guts. Bring it on!!!"

"Allen," Anthony said with a hardened expression and an unwavering voice. "Only because you are Sue's brother, I give you one last chance. If you give yourself up to the police, I will let you go today," he added.

"Ha!" Allen replied with a defiant smile plastered on his face. In a defiant tone, he said to Anthony, "It isn't even an option for me to give myself up. If you are smart, you'll just do what I told you to do. Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive today."
