When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1828


    Chapter 1828 Taking Three Bullets


    As Garrett spoke, he picked up the ss of whiskey on the table and brought it to his mouth, taking a


    sip. When he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of me out of the corner of his eye. With the wine


    ss in his hand, he started strolling toward me.


    Judging from the wrinkles on his face, he was already in his fifties. But still, he was filled with vigor, his


    solid muscles rendering him particrly strong. His eyes that were ustomed to carnage and


    bloodshed were like sharp des, intent on carving me up.


    A second before he stepped right into my personal space, Nathaniel stepped forward and inserted


    himself between us.


    “The matters of the organization have nothing to do with her, Mr. Jensen,” Nathaniel remarked.


    Garrett swept a gaze over him, the look in his eyes turning deadly in a sh, carrying intense


    oppression. Despite having someone separating us, a chill inexorably struck me.


    However, Nathaniel stood firm against the pressure and budged nary an inch.


    That was clearly beyond Garrett’s expectation, for scrutiny manifested in his eyes as he stared at the


    man.


    It was as though he suddenly didn’t know him anymore.


    After a long while, he lifted his hand and patted Nathaniel on the shoulder with a chuckle. “Very well,


    Nat. You gave me a surprise.”


    Having said that, he plopped down on the couch with his wine ss in hand. When he had finished the


    liquor, he ced the ss on the coffee table at the side.


    He crossed his legs, propping a hand on the arm of the couch while idly resting the other on his knee.


    He studied the two of us with interest.


    Perhaps I should be saying something at that moment, but Nathaniel had instructed me to keep quiet


    unless absolutely necessary, so I could only pretend to be mute.


    After a brief silence, Nathaniel started, “The fact that she’s alive will not change anything. However, I


    can promise you that the organization’s profit will double in the next three years. It’s just three years, so


    you still have that long, Mr. Jensen.”


    Upon hearing that, Garrett bit his lower lip as a pensive smile lifted the corner of his mouth, seemingly


    doubting the man’s statement greatly. After some time, his expression abruptly turned cold. “Are you


    negotiating with me?”


    “I’m just speaking the truth.” Nathaniel lowered his voice.


    There was no longer the slightest hint of calmness on Garrett’s face, but a darkness that carried


    brewing fury overtaking his features. In an exceedingly caustic voice, he retorted, “It’s your duty to


    manage the business well, not your bargaining chip to ckmail me! I told you that you couldn’t trust


    anyone in this world except yourself, but you decided to keep this ticking time bomb by your side!


    You’re simply digging your own grave!”


    Nathaniel was lectured to the point that he was left with no retort. He merely stood there like a statue


    without twitching a muscle.


    I knew right away that I was the “ticking time bomb” he mentioned. After all, I still had that much self-


    awareness.


    Ramona was wholly right to say that Nathaniel’s authority among them might be curtailed because of


    me.


    When there was no forting response from him, Garrett jutted his chin at the man beside him.

    The man immediately threw the bodyguards behind me a look. In mere seconds, they had restrained


    my hands.


    Striding over, the man deftly whipped out a gun. With the barrel aimed right at me, he pulled the trigger.


    Seeing that, I frantically screwed my eyes shut in preparation for my death. Bang! Bang!


    Bang! Gunshots rang out in my ears, but no pain assailed me.


    I opened my eyes in a daze, only to see Nathaniel standing in front of me. Blood gushed out of his


    shoulder uncontrobly.


    The shocking sight of crimson blood made me waver for a moment. But in the next instant, I hoped that


    the three bullets would kill him.


    Well, you’re merely reaping what you sowed. Have you ever thought that this day woulde when


    you hurt my family and friends, Nathaniel Hall?


    My focus was so intent on his injury that I only raised my head after a long time had passed. However,


    my eyes then met with the man’s pained expression.


    He seemed to have seen right through me, his eyes filled with resentment and grief. Regretfully, I


    remained stubborn, unwilling to even put on an act.


    In the end, his body slowly copsed onto the ground in a puddle of blood.


    Even so, he mulishly looked up at me. The excruciating pain had the veins on his face popping, and his


    eyes turned bloodshot. On the whole, he appeared horrific and pathetic.


    “I took the three bullets for her, so can you please take it as Scarlett Stovall having died, Mr. Jensen?”
