What was a drama queen?
Was this what you call a drama queen?
What was acting?
This was acting!
If Claremento’s second daughter, Ms. Aria got into show business and worked on a movie or TV show, other actors would be out of jobs. All the film awards in history would probably be hers!
Aria gripped Lowich’s blood-stained hand while looking at him tenderly, her lips quivering with overwhelming grief.
“Lowich, you can’t die. You’ve worked for me all these years. You’ve protected me and taken care of me. How can you die? I don’t want you to die. You must survive. Who’s going to protect me if you die…”
Aria burst into tears as she cradled Lowich in her arms. Tears rolled down her face like beads.
“Miss… Miss… It’s my pleasure… To die for you… Cough…”
Before Lowich could finish his sentence, he started coughing in pain. Streams of bright red blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, staining Aria’s expensive dress. However, it did not bother Aria as she continued holding him hard.
“No! Lowich! No!” Aria looked up at the sky and shouted in grief and despair.
Jagoan could not stand it. He felt goosebumps all over his body. Maybe even the goosebumps were starting to fall off.
“He’s not dead yet, Ms. Aria…” Jagoan said calmly.
After a pause, Jagoan added, “I just severely injured him. l didn’t kill him or damage the vital parts. He won’t die even if you leave him alone for three days. He might bleed to death if he opened the wound himself and didn’t stop the bleeding.”
Jagoan’s words immediately ruined the sad atmosphere.
Aria’s expression stiffened before she forcefully wiped away her tears and glared at Jagoan while gritting her teeth.
“How dare you say that? Do you have any shame? My father treated you kindly, entertained you, and gave you the best treatment, but what about you? Not only did you seduce my sister Lisha, but you also joined hands with her to kill me! Jagoan, how could there be such a vile, vicious, nasty, shameless, despicable, sinister person like you?”
Jagoan knew full well that he could never say anything so full of emotion.
Mayor Claremento’s face was livid as he glared at Jagoan and asked, “Did you and Lisha conspire to kill my daughter, Aria, and severely injure Lowich?”
Undaunted, Jagoan calmly said, “I severely injured Lowich, but there was no conspiracy, and there’s no way I tried to kill Aria.”
