    Chapter 401 What Did He Threaten You With?


    Perhaps she never expected that I would kowtow to her so directly. For a moment, she felt a rush of


    blood to her head, her chest heaving non- stop. She almost lost her bnce and fell, but luckily


    Marjorie caught her. “Auntie Eileen, don’t get too excited,” she said.


    She looked at me, not uttering a word for a long time. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally


    managed to say, “Very well, Tabatha, you did well.”


    After speaking, she pushed me away abruptly, not sparing me another nce, and asked Marjorie to


    help her leave.


    Watching my mother being led away by Marjorie, my throat was choked with pain, my head was


    buzzing, and for a few seconds, even breathing was dizzying.


    I knew my mother was quite upset with me, but I had no other choice. Once Ezra took me away from


    River City, I would never be as lucky as I was five years ago to return.


    That was fine, at least in my mother’s heart, I was willing and happy.


    Taking a deep breath, I withdrew my gaze, stood up, and sat back down in my seat. Walter had been


    watching me all along, his gaze barely moving at all.


    I knew he was watching me, and I knew, his gaze was always following me.


    Iposed myself, looked at him, our eyes met, and I unconsciously blurted out, “We haven’t picked


    up our divorce certificate yet. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureauter and get it, shall we?”

    He didn’t speak, just silently stared at me. His gaze was too intense, too aggressive. Because I didn’t


    know what he was thinking at that moment, I was momentarily flustered.


    “What did he threaten you with?”

    My heart skipped a beat, for a moment I almost lost control. After holding back for a few seconds, I


    looked at him, a puzzled expression. on my face, “What threatened me?”


    He looked at me, his dark pupils unwavering, as if trying to see right through me. His voice was low and


    firm, “Tabatha, you can fool everyone, but you can’t fool me. Daniel and Ezra are the same person.


    Even without evidence, Captain Lucas’s death is enough to exin everything. You couldn’t possibly


    go with him. Tell me, what did he threaten you with?”


    My hand was held by him, the warm and familiar temperature made me daze for a moment. For a few


    seconds, I wanted to tell him everything, but I still hesitated.


    Tell him that Ezra threatened me with his future, my life, and the lives of my loved ones? And then


    what? He may not care about his future, but I can’t. Ruined reputation, hundreds of lives, once the


    events of ten years ago are overturned, he and the entire Hinton family will never be able to turn over a


    new leaf in this lifetime.


    I couldn’t afford to gamble, let alone risk the safety of my mother and the people I cared about.


    Compared to that, it was merely returning to that hellish ce from five years ago. What was there to


    be afraid of?


    Moreover, if I had followed Ezra to the border, as long as I stayed by his side, I would have found an


    opportunity to kill him one day. If I was lucky enough, maybe I could have even saved my own life or


    returned.

    Thinking about it, I felt more and more that it was worth it. I pried open his hand, looked at him, and


    said, “Walter, he’s not Ezra, he’s Daniel. How could I possibly leave with him? You forgot, he


    experienced life and death with me in the mountains of Dracview, gave me flowers, gifts, and was


    genuinely good to me. Didn’t you once say that if I chose him in the end, you would bless me, wouldn’t


    you? Now, after careful consideration, I have chosen him. You should bless me, shouldn’t you?”


    He looked at me, his eyes deep and intense. The prolonged silence made the atmosphere around us


    particrly oppressive. After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice low and restrained, “Was it a lie


    when you said that no matter what happened, you would always be with me?”


    A sour taste surged in my heart for a moment, and I almost lost control of my tears for a few seconds.


    Fortunately, I’m not a person who likes to shed tears. I took a deep breath secretly, suppressing the


    sourness in my heart. Looking at him, I gave a faint smile and said, “How can you take other people’s


    words seriously? What I said to you that day was just tofort you, besides, it was just a sentence.”
