The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Certain Death Awaits

Much to her surprise. Nothing happened after

that.

Raylee was dumbfounded. What on earth is going on!

Bastian looked at her baffled expression and burst into uproarious laughter. “I didn’t load the gun. It’s empty, hahaha…”

Having been made a fool of, Raylee flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Did you do it on purpose?”

“That’s right. I wanted to test your bravery, but the outcome was beyond my expectations, I figured there was a good chance you’d shoot Jeremiah, given how much you despise him. Taking revenge when the opportunity arises can be quite satisfying after all. I even thought that you might be more ruthless, shooting yourself for a quick death. Of course, I had considered the possibility of you pulling the gun on me, even fighting me to the death. What I never anticipated though, was your outrageous plan to capture the leader and escape with Jeremiah. Your courage has surprised me, and I like you even more now. What should I do?”

Listening to Bastian’s sarcastic remarks, Raylee was not only filled with anger, but her entire body was also drenched in cold sweat

It’s cover

Defeat was the only thing that flashed through her mind.

Discarding the empty gun, she turned her gaze to Jeremiah, who was curled up against the wall from the kick. Despair was evident in her eyes.

Could it really be that Jeremiah is really doomed? Am I also fated to follow Bastian for the rest of my life, enduring twisted experiences this psychopath would subject me to?

I had clearly managed to control Jeremiah with incriminating evidence. Given enough time, I would marry him. After becoming the lady of the Lorimer family. I would have been able to leverage the power of the Lorimer family to seek vengeance against the Goodridge family for my past grievances. The Lorimer family was supposed to be a powerful stepping stone for me. How did such an unexpected twist of fate

occur!

Once Jeremiah was dead, it didn’t matter if she made it back alive. All that awaited her would be certain death.

y did fate have to treat me this way? The path I had painstakingly laid out for myself has been abruptly cut short….

At that moment, tears welled up in Raylee’s eyes, as she couldn’t hold them back any longer.

“Why are you crying? My darling… Bastian reached out, intending to wipe away her tears.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door to the secret room was kicked open

By the time Kaylee had come to her senses, Bastian had already been subdued, with a gun pointed at his head.

“Behave yourself, or I’ll blow your brains out!” a stern voice warned Bastian fiercely.

“Alright, alright, I won’t move. Just don’t shoot. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it…” pleaded the usually fearless Bastian, who was trembling with fear.

In stark contrast to his earlier arrogance, he now seemed like a completely different person.

Under the dim light, Raylee focused her gaze and saw the man who had barged in. It was Bradley, the bodyguard sent by

After she was separated from her bodyguards at the dock, she never expected Bradley could still infiltrate the industrial park

to rescue her.

This person is truly no ordinary individual!

“Ms. Somers, Mr. Lorimer, I apologize for my late arrival, causing you to suffer. Now, please, come with me,” Bradley said.

“Alright, I appreciate it.”

Immediately. Raylee rushed over to help Jeremiah to his feet.

Finished

When she reached out to steady him, he was taken aback. Despite her slender figure, she was able to effortlessly help him up.

It was unclear what Jeremiah had gone through these past couple of days, but he had shockingly lost a significant amount of weight.

Recalling the dreadful state he was in from his drug withdrawal when she first entered the secret room, she let out a sigh.

All one could say was that there was always something despicable about a pitiful person.

“Take me out through the least crowded exit. Try any tricks, and I’ll blow your brains out!” Bradley threatened.

Bastian didn’t dare to even breathe, obediently saying. “I’ll lead you through the industrial park’s hidden exit. There are no guards there. Just be careful with your gun.”

Raylee looked at his current pathetic state and felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.

Even though her attempt to take out the leader had failed earlier, Bastian’s defeat came swiftly.

Just as he continued to treat her like a plaything, he ended up being captured.
