Chapter 572


    “Why is he aware of our presence?” It was then I figured out he had allowed us to sneak our way to


    Christopher’s side to lure him out of hiding. It had always been part of his n to threaten Christopher


    with my wellbeing.


    He’s such a lucky man! I thought I managed to take him out with a shot when he was on board! It turns


    out he’s still kicking and alive when he was supposed to drown to his death!


    Instead of answering the man’s query, Christopher grasped the gun with all his might. It was then Lyle


    urged, “Can you fire another shot and render him incapable of speech?”


    “The shot fired a few seconds ago was thest shot since I had run out of bullets.”


    Christopher’s announcement took us by surprise since we would be dead the moment the vicious


    bunch made their way to our hideout.


    Out of the blue, John yelled, “Christopher, I’ll take you out since you won’t stoping after me when


    I’ve tried running away from you for more than once! I’ll consider doing you a favor and leave your wife


    alone if you surrender yourself! However, if you refuse, I’ll get my men to have some fun with her once I


    take you into custody!”


    Christopher couldn’t stop himself from trembling in angst. As infuriated as he might be, he answered in


    a callous tone, “I’m pretty sure you’re trying to deceive me again! Once I’m dead, they’re going to end


    up in a simr manner! You don’t think I’m going to fall for your tricks, do you?”


    “Well, we shall see if you’re going to make it out alive when you’re running out of ammo and supplies!”


    “Chris!” Slouching against the man, I could feel his frigid limbs when there was a scorching sun above


    us. I started running my hands across him and felt a sense of security when I felt the dagger he had


    with him.


    I thought I could stop them from trying anything silly as long as I took myself out when all hell broke


    loose.


    It must be the power of love since I couldn’t even dissect a frog for my biology ss during my high


    school days. I was able to rule out the pros and cons of the situation since Christopher was next to me.


    I was on the verge of passing out in the middle of the day. As those around us started preparing their


    meals, I couldn’t stop myself from gulping in silence after having rations over the past few days.


    I couldn’t even stop my stomach from grumbling when I caught a whiff of the food our foes made. Out


    of nowhere, someone alighted from an off-road vehicle and engaged himself in a conversation with


    John.


    John carried himself as if he was inferior to the mysterious figure next to him. Upon another nce at


    the mysterious figure, I thought he seemed awfully familiar, yet I couldn’t recall the asion I had run


    into him.


    When he was about to leave, I finally recalled I ran into him next to Mark when we were at Anndur.


    He was none other than Wesley, Mark’s assistant. I was confused since I couldn’t figure out the sort of


    rtionship the Goldstein family had with John. It was then I thought the Goldstein family might be


    involved in some shady trades as well.


    I stopped hesitating and rushed out of hiding, yelling the moment I made it to the sight of the rest, “Hold


    it right there, Wesley!”

    “Yvonne, have you lost your mind?” Christopher and Lyle rushed out of hiding and stood next to me to


    keep me safe.


    Wesley was equally surprised by my presence. He asked in return, “What are you doing here? Also,


    why have you stopped me?”


    Unsure if it was the right thing to do, I instructed in a serious tone since I was aware it was my only


    chance to keep all of us safe, “Tell John to set us free!”


    “What makes you think I’m going to listen to you?” Wesley asked with a scornful look.


    “Well, it’s because I’m the sole sessor of the Goldstein family, Mark’s only daughter!”
