Chapter 560


    He then stabbed Este unexpectedly.


    “Este, run!” Natalie shouted anxiously. But it was toote.


    When the sharp de shed Este’s arm, blood oozed out instantly. Este fell to the floor, clutching


    her arm, and cried out in pain.


    “If anyonees over again, I’ll kill Natalie!” Jethro pulled Natalie’s hair and continued shouting, “Did


    you hear it? Step back!”


    This forced the Larson Group’s employees, who had nned to rush up to save Natalie, to retreat.


    Even Este didn’t dare to move again. She was still on the floor, pressing on her wound. “Are you


    okay, Natalie?” she asked in a low voice.


    Natalie realized that Este was not afraid of death at all. Even in such a critical situation, she still had


    the mood to chat casually.


    However, she was actually scared shitless. “What if I die here today?” Este asked, her voice shaking


    because of fear. “It turns out that saving people is not as simple as the novel suggests. I have yet to


    attend the award ceremony. I have yet to begin writing the novel I promised you. I still have a lot of


    money in my bank ount that I haven’t spent. If I had known how short my life would be, I would have


    treated myself better…”


    “Don’t talk nonsense,” Natalie cut Este off from self-talking. She was moved by Este’s action to


    save her just now, but it wasn’t the right time to express her gratitude.


    “Hurry up and go,” Natalie urged. “Jethro has no time for you now.”


    Este looked up at Jethro.


    Sure enough, Jethro was clutching Natalie tightly and refusing to let her go.


    Jethro red at Este viciously. “Go away! Don’t get in my way!” He then yelled at the employees


    around him. “Move back! If you dare toe up again, I will stab you as well!”


    Este had no choice but to nod and walk away weakly while covering her wound.


    The Larson Group’s employees then came up to support her. But no one dared to go forward for fear of


    provoking Jethro to do something even worse.


    Natalie licked her dry lips to calm herself down.


    “Don’t be so worried. I value my life so I won’t run away,” Natalie told Jethro. She then blinked slowly


    and said, “I noticed you keep swallowing. Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?”


    “Shut up, bitch!” Jethro gritted his teeth. “I don’t need water!”


    Natalie then changed her approach. “You want money, don’t you? How much do you want?”


    Jethro yanked Natalie’s hair so hard that it almost snapped. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” I


    said shut up! I want to talk to Brandon, not you!” 2


    “Jethro, let go of my wife.”


    As soon as Jethro finished speaking, he heard Brandon’s voice.


    Brandon’s eyes were dark and cold. “What do you want? Tell me.”


    He had called the cops, and the b*odyguards of the Larson Group had surrounded Jethro.


    Subconsciously, Jethro took a few steps back. It was the first time he saw Brandon face to face, and


    Brandon’s intimidating aura made him shudder.


    “Give me my money, and I’ll let her go!” Jethro yelled, trying to gather his courage.


    “How dare you ask me for money?” Brandon sneered. “Your factory was already in bad condition, and


    you were heavily in debt. Even if I didn’t withdraw the order, you wouldn’t be able to keep going for


    another three months. You are a loser, and now you even me the Larson Group for your failure. This


    is ridiculous!”


    Jethro was taken aback. How did Brandon know these things? He believed he had done a good job of


    concealing the truth.


    “I’m not a loser! But you made me one! You are the one who is forcing me into this. This world, this


    society…”


    After his lie was exposed, Jethro was on the verge of copsing, his eyes filled with rage and


    embarrassment. He wildly waved his knife, whichter grazed Natalie’s neck.


    “Ouch!” Natalie cried out in pain, with blood oozing from her neck.


    Brandon’s pupils contracted and his breath became short as he saw Natalie getting injured.


    “How much do you want?” demanded Brandon furiously. His face was red with anger and veins popped


    up from his forehead. He was trying hard to control his temper.


    Jethro immediately calmed down at the mention of money.


    “I want five million in cash. I will also need a car! Stop the car outside when it’s here!” he demanded


    conceitedly.


    He was about to take pleasure in finally getting Brandon to dance to his tune. However, he soon


    remembered Brandon’s cunningness. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, “Brandon, you’re


    not calling the police, right? I’ll kill Natalie if I hear the policeing!” “I’m not calling the police. I’m


    asking my assistant to get you the money and the car now,” exined Brandon anxiously. He knew that


    he shouldn’t try anything risky and the most important thing right now was to keep Jethro’s mood under


    control. That way, he could prevent Jethro from hurting Natalie again.


    Soon after, Sean came jogging in with a heavy case.


    He opened the case, turned it around to face Jethro, and said with disdain, “Here’s the five million

    dors. Do you want to count them?”


    Jethro’s eyes lit up at the sight of the cash. He lifted his foot and kicked the case closed. “Do you think


    I’m stupid? Wouldn’t I be giving you a chance to seize me if I start counting the money now?” he said


    haughtily.
