chapter 1956
Anthony''s breath hitched when he saw Charmine.
He clenched his fists and, without doubting himself, relented "I can agree to your terms, so let her go
right away. This has nothing to do with her; you only hate me after all. As long as you let her go, I''ll take
the pill. Everything will end right away."
Susan shook her head. "Well die after eating the pill. I’m not taking that!"
She had just reunited with Eric, and she did not want to die yet. She looked at Eric and begged,
"Please let Anthony be, why don''t you? He''s your brother, after all, and he doesn’t even know about
your existence. If you’re really angry, just kill Charmine, and I''ll make it up to you-"

Anthony''s expression contorted in sheer fury upon hearing Susan''s plea, and he red at her with
murderous intent.
"This was all your fault, so what right do you have to make Charmine take your me?!"
"What on earth are you going on about?" snapped Grandma Bailey. "Charmine has been kidnapped
because of you, yet you want her dead! How cold-hearted can you get?!"
"I just don''t want Anthony to be killed..." Susan failed to see the error in her ways.
Anthony red at her very coldly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
In the next instance, he looked up at Eric and resolutely responded, "Whatever my mother owed you,
I''ll pay in full. I can die, but please let go of Charmine!"
Eric looked at Anthony and said, "Alright, then. As long as you die!"
He then tossed out a small bottle in the air that made a perfect curve,nding right into Anthony''s
hands.
Anthony held onto the small bottle of pills and then at Charmine, who was still unconscious, with
darkened eyes.
He was, to say the very least, conflicted.
It was not easy for him to resolve all problems with Charmine. They had been through much, and it had
not been long.
However, he did not regret his decision; he only had regrets. He would not be able to be with her for the
rest of her life.
Anthony took a deep breath and looked away. He did not hesitate to open the bottle and put it by his
lips. He raised his head, and just as he was about to eat the pills—
"Don’t!" Susan hastily grabbed his arm to stop him, not wanting him to eat the pills.
She tried to talk Anthony out of his decision urgently, "Just let her die! There are so many women in the
world, so why would you do this for her?" i
"Shut up!" Anthony red at her, not hesitating to push her away. "She’s my woman, and I should save
her! You have no right to talk me out of my decision!"
Susan, having been shoved away, staggered backward uncontrobly. Since she was also sporting
heels at that point, she tripped and-
Thomp!
She fell against an iron pir nearby, which happened to have a sharp nail half a thumb long sticking
out of it.
"Aaagh!" Susan cried out and froze in pain. Her face went pale, and her eyes widened in fear.
The crowd looked over. Why did she cry out so sharply, when her head just rammed against a pir?
A momentter, they saw reding out behind her head.
"Help me...help me!"
Susan''splexion turned paper-white as she became physically feeble. She felt her consciousness
fading.
The blood that oozed from the back of her head suddenly intensified like her head was a leaking
faucet. The bleeding did not seem to cease at all, causing blood to pool near Susan. 1
Only then did the Baileys realize the severity of this matter.
Darryl went toward Susan and made the shocking discovery that the nail had been stabbed by the
sharp nail. i
"Darryl, help...help me..."
Susan''s eyes were zoning out. She feebly pleaded for help when she saw the person in front of her
before eventually losing consciousness.
Darryl caught her right in time and hoisted her into his arms before rushing her away from the scene.
Eric stood by the pier and saw the patch of blood on the ground. His eyes slowly moved back to Susan,
who was carried away by Darryl.
Conflict pooled in his eyes as he gazed at Susan''s pale face.
A momentter, he thought of something and smiled ironically. He looked away and said to Anthony...
