    Sophia widened her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs, “No!”


    Although the Taylor family had mistreated and humiliated her, never treating her as a family


    member, Corey and ire had raised her for so many years. Even if their contribution was not


    acknowledged, they did put in effort to provide for her.


    She could not just stand by and watch Lucas die in front of her. Although she hated him, she could


    not ignore a human life being harmed.

    However, her shout could not stop the bullet that had already been fired. She could only watch


    helplessly as the bullet with sparks swiftly pierced Lucas’s back.


    Blood sttered everywhere. Lucas’s leg, which had just crossed the threshold, gave way, and his


    knees hit the floor heavily.


    He turned around slowly, his face filled with shock and dissatisfaction. In an instant, his eyes were


    covered in blood mist, looking especially


    terrifying.


    He raised his hand with difficulty to make a grasping motion in the air and stared at Sophia intently


    in the distance, his eyes filled with pleading


    Have


    save me,” he said.


    He thought, “I don’t want to die. Thinking about it carefully, I’m only twenty–eight this year, not even


    thirty yet. There are still many moments of ultimate joy in life that i haven’t experienced.”


    Sophia began to struggle intensely. She tried to break free from Jonas’s grip and rush to Lucas to


    check on his injuries.


    “I’m not running off,” she said. “Let go of me, will you? I want to see how he’s doing.”


    Jonas grabbed her with one hand and raised the smoking muzzle of the gun with the other hand to


    his mouth to blow on it. He then tapped her cheek with the gun barrel. There was a strong sense of


    warning.


    “He’s not going to make it,” he said. “Behave yourself, or I don’t mind firing another shot.”


    Sophia was still resisting, but Lucas, who was kneeling by the door, could not hold on anymore. He


    fell backward in a stiff manner into a pool of blood.


    She thought, ‘He… he’s dead? The brother who consistently exploits me and tries his best to


    extract benefits from me is dead? in thest two days, I’ve been wondering about this. If Jason


    hadn’t existed, would Ada, Lucas, and I not have ended up harming each other? Perhaps all the


    misfortunes of the Taylor family are because of me. If I hadn’t provoked Jason, they wouldn’t have


    ended up in such a mess!


    In a daze, she was suddenly yanked by a strong force. Her body leaned forward and she almost fell


    to the ground,


    By the time she realized what was happening, she had already left the courtyard.


    She hurriedly turned her head and saw a smear of blood spreading on the ground. Then, her line of


    sight was blocked by the door frame.


    There was a rumbling sound in the distance. A momentter, a few helicopters hovered in the air.


    Jonas spatly lightly and cursed fiercely, “Damn it. Howe they arrived so quickly?”


    In response, a man in a ck coat jumped down from a helicopter holding onto an iron chain.


    “Jonas, long time no see, Why? Hiding like a rat in a smelly drain these days, huh? Coming to my


    turf and not even saying hello.”

    It was the coldest phase of winter. The temperature was very low, with a chill permeating


    everywhere. However, West’s voice was even colder than the temperature. It was like a de that


    was frozen three feet deep. Not only was it cold, but it was also extremely sharp


    Jonas licked his dry lips and instinctively tightened his grip on the woman in his arms. She was his


    only Meline now.


    “West, I have no intention to be your enemy,” Jonas said. “I came to Vayberry this time for personal


    matters. Let me go, and we won’t bother


    each other in the future.”


    West’s thin lips curled up. He seemed to be smiling, but his dark eyes were bone–chilling.


    His gaze fell on the woman in Jonas’s arms. This was the first time he saw Jason’s wife. He


    thought, ‘She’s indeed captivating. No wonder that guy fell for her. It’s a pity that she’s too stubborn,


    just like Luna. She will suffer in the future.”


    “Release her, and I’ll let you go,” he said.


    When Jonas heard this, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. No longer wasting words with


    West, he called a few subordinates to drive


    the car over.


    “I promise to release her,” he said. “Don’t stop me, or I’ll take her life immediately.”


    West did not say anything. He raised his hand and waved it in the air. The bodyguards surrounding


    the area immediately retreated behind


    him.


    Jonas held Sophia hostage and walked to the side of the car. Then, he suddenly pushed her


    forward forcefully and quickly got into the car


    hia’s body was too weak. Under the force of gravity, she could not stabilize herself. She fell


    straight toward the ground.


    Sophia’s


    While West was hesitating if he should help her up, someone rushed over ahead of him.
