Chapter 887


    Sophia saw the knife too, but she didn’t say anything. Irene found Sophia’s cold and distant expression


    especially unpleasant, so she grabbed onto Sophia’s hair while pping her multiple times.


    “Beg for mercy now, you b*tch! I am asking you to beg me!”


    Sophia’s face was swollen, and blood was already oozing from her especially fragile skin. Her nose was


    also bleeding, but she shed Irene an eerie smile. “General Weber and Mrs. Weber were heroic figures.


    If they could see what’s happening right now and learn what their daughter has be, I’m afraid they


    would turn in their graves!”


    Irene was stumped when she heard that. General Weber is my father… But there is no way back for me


    at this point. I have no choice but to kill Sophia. Everything will be back to normal if she dies. Besides,


    nobody would ever know how she died. To be honest, killing her is not my only goal because I want her


    to die in humiliation. I want her to beg for mercy on bent knees. I want her to kowtow to me while


    admitting her mistakes.


    Irene was blinded by fury, and she screamed hysterically. She scolded Sophia while grabbing her by


    her hair and beating her up.


    “Beg me not to kill you! Beg me!”


    Sophia gritted her teeth when she retorted, “Go on and hit me! I’ll surrender if you are able to make me


    beg for mercy!”


    Irene vented her frustrations by beating Sophia. She regarded Sophia, who was bruised all over, and she


    felt good about herself. However, something shed through Irene’s mind, and she seemed to have


    realized something. Then, she spat at Sophia, “I almost fell for your trick! You are just stalling!”


    Sophia chuckled while she replied, “It’s not toote for you to realize about it… Oh! I’ve seeded in


    stalling for a few more seconds. By this point, the person must be here to rescue me. You will be dead if


    you don’t make a move soon!”


    Irene was furious, and she took a lighter out from her bag. Just when she was about to strike the lighter,


    a small hand reached out swiftly to grab her wrist. The tiny and slippery hand was exceptionally strong,


    and there was an audible crack. Irene heard a crisp snap, and her arm felt numb. The lighter, which had


    not been ignited, fell onto the ground.


    At that moment, an intense pain came shooting from Irene’s wrist.


    “Argh!!” Irene held onto her limp hand, and she wailed at the top of her lungs.


    “What did you do to me? What did you do to me?!”


    Sophia, who was bound to the pole, somehow managed to reach out with a hand. It was covered with


    petrol, so it was particrly slippery. Furthermore, her hand was small and thin, so she managed to


    release herself from the rope.


    Earlier, she kept chatting with Irene as a front to buy herself more time.


    Currently, Sophia had managed to release one hand, and so she broke Irene’s wrist with precision. She


    still had time, and with a few more seconds, Sophia would have released her other hand too.


    Nevertheless, Irene realized Sophia’s motive, and so she endured the horrible shooting pain from her


    wrist. She scrambled to snatch the lighter away from the ground because she was determined to burn


    Sophia to death today.


    However, she did not expect the sudden turn of events. Irene, who had just grabbed the lighter from the


    ground, wailed in agony suddenly. Then, she slumped onto the floor while moaning in pain.


    The lighting was poor, and so Sophia squinted while she looked behind Irene. She saw that Irene was on


    the ground, but there was a knife sticking out of her back. In fact, Irene had prepared that particr knife


    to kill Sophia.


    A pale and slender hand was holding onto the knife. When the perpetrator noticed that Irene was still


    struggling, the hand grabbed and retrieved the knife to plunge into Irene’s back several times. The knife


    stabbed into Irene’s vital points a few times until she died.


    Sophia stared in stunned silence at Irene, who was already dead on the floor. She then looked up at the


    ck figure who had barged in suddenly earlier.


    The figure was staring at Irene’s body, as if struggling toe to terms with the fact that it had murdered


    somebody. After a pause, the figure approached Sophia, and she saw Sean, who was covered in blood.


    “Sean, it’s you!”


    The person who barged in was none other than Sean.


    He was covered with blood, and his fair face was contorted into a scary and murderous expression.


    However, the expression faded, and the color drained from Sean’s face while he stared at Irene, who


    was slumped on the ground. His eyes were filled withplex emotions, including hatred and


    satisfaction, but it was mostly fear.


    However, the emotions were fleeting, and he soon pulled the knife out of Irene’s body. Blood gushed out


    onto the floor, and Sean used the knife to cut the rope tied around Sophia.


    Nevertheless, the rope was tough, and it was wound around Sophia multiple times. Therefore, the knife


    just couldn’t cut through it; even a fire couldn’t get the job done. There was no way of unfastening the


    rope because they were nning to burn Sophia alive while she was tied to the pole. They were beyond


    malicious because they wanted her to suffer excruciatingly, and so they made it impossible to rescue her.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “Why are you here? Where are my dad and uncle?”


    Sophia struggled against the rope, but it was tied so tightly around her that she could barely breathe right


    now. Although she was lucky to have freed a hand, it was almost impossible topletely break free.


    Sean seemed to be in shock because it took him some time before he finally rambled incoherently, “They


    are on the way here. I rushed over before they did once I learned about the news.”


    Sean thought of Irene when Sophia was in trouble. Hence, he looked up Irene’s car number te and


    searched the surveince cameras. In the end, he confirmed the location.


    He exined while trying his best to cut the rope to free Sophia. However, the rope was extremely


    sturdy.


    After murdering somebody for the first time, Sean was trying his best to keep his cool. Nevertheless, his


    trembling hands revealed his panic and fear.


    Since I’d made it here, Irene wouldn’t have been able to defeat a man my size. Besides, help was on the


    way, and I managed to get the knife.


    I shouldn’t have killed Irene just now.


    However, when I saw Sophia being tortured, the scene from the hospital—where Irene was on top of


    Stanley, ring at me deviously—flooded my mind. At that moment, Irene didn’t look like a woman;


    instead, she looked like a monster. In fact, her gaze from that time intertwined with her crazy gaze just


    now, and I lost control of my actions.


    I wanted to make this woman disappear from this world forever! I can’t believe I killed Irene! By the time I


    snapped back to my senses, everything was toote!


    I know what it means for me to have killed Irene. At the same time, Sean heard a continuous re of the


    police siren. True enough, she had something up her sleeve!


    Meanwhile, Sophia thought to herself, After helping Irene catch me, they allowed the two of us to destroy


    each other. In the end, one of us would end up dead. Everybody would be happy if I had died, but since


    Irene died, I would be dragged into the situation.


    No matter who ended up dead, there would be a drastic change in the rtionship between Cooper and


    the Fletchers.


    Sophia knew who was the person calling the shots behind the scene because she knew that whoever


    benefitted the most from this would be the one pulling the strings in secret.


    “Sean, you need to leave right now!
