Chapter 278
When she heard Annalise Barton’s question, the woman in the ck butterfly mask looked at Annalise.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I’ll only give you five seconds to exchange
hostages. Five, four…” “Trevor! Save me!” When she received an eye signal from the woman in the
ck butterfly mask, La Cory called out to Trevor Stinson for help. Now that Trevor had seen La
Cory, he was extremely annoyed. Wasn’t she causing trouble? Elusive love? Julian’s savior?
In his mind, Trevor only acknowledged Julian’s wife, Annalise. He was so indifferent that there was no
emotion on his face at all. He approached Annalise and whispered in her ear, “Annalise, let’s exchange
hostages. After we get Old Mr. Parks back, we’ll leave.” As long as the hostages were sessfully
swapped, he would leave with Annalise first together with Old Mr. Parks. When they had been safely
taken away, Trevor woulde charging back on a killing spree. Previously, he was worried about
Annalise’s safety and was somewhat distracted. He could not go all out to attack them. Once Annalise
and Old Mr. Parks were safe, he would make life a living hell for all these people. While Trevor was
whispering in Annalise’s ear, the woman in the ck butterfly mask was waiting for an opportunity to hit
Annalise in the chest with her elbow to break free. Pow! Trevor unceremoniously punched the woman’s
bent arm. She gasped as she felt the excruciating pain. She gritted her teeth so hard that grinding
sounds could be heard in the air. Before the woman could speak, Trevor spoke first. “I haté despicable
low-life the most in my life!”
The woman wailed, “… Trevor, I’m your senior!” “Hmph…” Trevor gave a scornful sneer. That sneer
represented his whole attitude. “Release Old Mr. Parks. I’ll count to three. Release them together! One,
two, three!” Trevor was looking at the two men holding Old Mr. Parks when he started counting. In the
end, after he finished counting, the two men made a deceptive move. Annalise had just lowered the
dagger a little when the woman in the ck butterfly mask tried to find an opportunity to break free from
her grasp. Annalise pressed the dagger against the
woman’s neck again. She gave a scornfulugh. “Do you think I will trust someone like you?” The
woman in the ck butterfly mask was subdued again and was very angry. “I’m warning you to let me
go immediately. Otherwise, my men will stab the old man once every second,” the woman in the ck
butterfly mask threatened. Following that, she signaled to the two men holding Old Mr. Parks with her
eye. The two men immediately nodded, indicating that they understood the order.
Right after this, exactly one secondter, one of the men stabbed Old Mr. Parks in the thigh. “Argh…”
Old Mr. Parks tried his best to endure it but in the end, he still let out a muffled groan because the pain
was too much. When Annalise and Trevor saw Old Mr. Parks’ reaction, their hearts tensed up
vehemently. Annalise felt as if her heart was going into convulsions. Her feelings for the elderly were
iprehensible to ordinary people. Her three mentors, Joseph Quigley, Dariel Randall, and Cash
Cappell were all elderly folks like Old Mr. Parks. They were loving and gentle, but at times, they were
strict too. They were always thinking of her interests, doting on her, loving her, and protecting her.
Now that Annalise had seen Grandpa Samuel being tortured, she wished she could stab this woman to
death. However, she had to calm down. She had to defeat this woman psychologically. sh! Annalise
stabbed the thigh of the woman in the ck butterfly mask with a pair of surgical scissors. These were
the scissors she had used to cut the woman’s hair earlier. The scissors had two sharp tips and hurt
more than a dagger. “Argh…” The woman cried out in pain. Annalise said icily, “Every time your men
stab Grandpa Samuel, I will stab you. Let’s see who canst longer!”
After the woman in the ck butterfly mask cried out in pain, sheughed. “In my opinion, your method
is very feasible. I also want to find out whether my tolerance for pain is higher or the old man’s
tolerance is higher. I want to know which one will deteriorate faster, my young body or his old body.”
Annalise said calmly, “I’m a doctor. I can answer your question. Old people are definitely not as strong
as young people. If we keep stabbing each other like this, under normal circumstances, you will
definitely be able tost longer. But don’t forget, I’m a doctor. I brought medicine that can extend
Grandpa Samuel’s life.” On the other side, the person holding Grandpa Samuel stabbed him again.
Annalise decisively stabbed the thigh of the woman in the ck butterfly mask with the pair of scissors
again. The woman screamed in pain again. Annalise warned in a chilly voice, “You can do all things
once or twice, but never thrice. I won’t stab you so gently next time. At the conference, everyone
thought that I was a traditional medicine practitioner. “In reality, I studied modern medicine for many
years abroad and dissected countless corpses. I’m familiar with every muscle, organ, and blood vessel
in the human body.
“Oh, I’m also very good at picking tendons. in the arms and legs. Using surgical scissors to pick
tendons will be more urate and faster than using a dagger.” When the woman in the ck butterfly
mask heard Annalise’s threat, her eyes widened slightly. She had to admit that she was afraid! She
believed that this crazy woman Annalise Barton would really do it. If Annalise really cut the tendons in
her hands and legs, not only would she not be able to practice boxing in the future, but she would also
have a problem walking. When she saw that the man holding Old Mr. Parks was about to stab him
again, the woman in the ck butterfly mask finally gave in and shouted, “Stop!”

Trevor looked at Annalise even more fondly. This was his good friend Julian’s wife. She was simply
tailor-made for him. Other than Annalise, who else could be Julian’s wife? She had such boldness,
such wisdom, and such mental fortitude. She was not inferior to Julian in each of these aspects. “I’ll
give you five seconds to consider exchanging hostages honestly. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to slice
off your Achilles tendons,” Annalise threatened. She knew that this woman’s psychological defense
was copsing. She had to strike while the iron was hot and gain the upper hand. “”I’ll count to five.
One, two, three…” “Release him!” the woman in the ck butterfly mask shouted. Thump! Suddenly,
Julian Parks pounced on Grandpa Samuel from behind by.
Immediately after that, Julian leaped up and delivered a dropkick on the chests of the two men holding
Grandpa Samuel. Both men were sent crashing to the ground instantly. When he saw that Grandpa
Samuel had been saved, Trevor’s eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over to help. La shouted
again, “Save me, Julian! Save me!” When the woman in the ck butterfly mask heard this, the corners
of her lips curled up slightly. Look! The effect she wanted wasing! Now that Julian had rescued Old
Mr. Parks, the next step was to ask Annalise to use the woman in exchange for La. At that point,
Annalise would realize that La was Julian’s elusive love. Would she be heartbroken? Would she be
sad? Haha! The hostage Annalise had risked her life to take was only used to exchange for Julian’s
elusive love. Wouldn’t she be upset? Haha!
Even though the way things unfolded today was a little convoluted, as long as she achieved her goal, it
was good enough! “Why are you here?” Julian looked sharply at La. Grandpa Samuel’s kidnapping
today was definitely premeditated. She knew that it was him whom she saved back then? Or could it be
that she was not his savior at all, and she simply got close to him with a purpose? Was she deliberately
creating a coincidence? Did she want to make him take the initiative to acknowledge her?
