This was her first time to hold a gun. And she couldn’t have the resolve to kill.
“Shoot me right here.” Jaden said, his word slicicking everyvitie
He then pointed to his right chest.
Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
Jaden, what are you doing?” Ella’s voice was sharp, even arrow the screen.
“I told you to shoot, so what are you hesitating for? Didn’t you want to kill me? Then shoot!” jaden igonæred villa and instead posted on Linna:
Liana was scared out of her wits. Her previous bravado was nowhere to be seen
“I… I… She stammered, unable to say anything coherent.
Then, Jaden grabbed her hand, pressed it against his right chest, and pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the bullet pierced through his cliest, leaving gaping woundland blood gushed out
Liana, still holding the gun, trembled even more violently.
Liana said, “It wasn’t me.. It wasn’t me. You did this yourself…

Jaden said, “Ella, did you see that? If you don’t come. I’m graing to die. It takes about an hour to get from the villa no half. I hope to see you in an hour and a half
Then he said to Hank, “Hank, hang up
“No, don’t hang up, Jaden, are you insane?” Ella’s voice abruptly cut off as Flank long up the call.
Hank had to admit that jaden was getting more and more extreme, even casually injuring himself
He was really willing to risk his life to win back his wife.
Liana was still in shock when suddenly, she felt pain in her hand.
Jaden easily grabbed her wrist and twisted it, causing her arm to spasen in pain
He effortlessly took the gun from her.
“Was it fun?” Jaden’s face was pale due to blood loss.
His eyes were eerily bright, like a bloodthirsty beast.

Jaden said, “Let’s play a game. If she shows up in an hour and a half, I’ll be in a good mood and let your family go. But if she doesn’t, and I’m in a bad mood, none of you will escape, and you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison”
Liana stared at him, and as she realized what he was saying, she cried out in anger, “Jaden, you shot yourself just to see if she cares enough to coene save you? How ridiculous can you be? I thought I was pathetic, but you’re even more pathetic?
Liana burst into laughter.
The laughter pierced Jaden’s ears.
Jaden said, “Hank, make her mute, silence ha

quickly dragged her away.

Outside, Liana’s screams echoed, but soon, there was silence.
The room was eerily quiet, and Jaden slumped to the floor.
He pressed on his wound. The bleeding had stopped, but the pain lingered.
He looked like a lost child, waiting anxiously, hoping to see his loved ones.
Jaden thought, Ella, you better come!
Ella was frantic, not because she was afraid Liana would kill Jaden, but because she feared Jaden had gone mad.
After all he had grabbed Liana’s hand and made her shoot himself
Ella, sat in the car, fastening her seatbelt.
Ella said to her belly, “Baby, I’m going to save your dad now. Please stay strong and don’t let anything happen. Your dad has lost his mind. Im afraid he’ll do something crazy, either to himself or others. I have to go check on him”
She touched her belly, then floored the gas pedal speeding out of the garage
As she crossed a green light, a child suddenly ran out onto the road.
Startled, she swerved sharply.
She narrowly avoided the child, but the cars behind her reacted quickly, slamming on their brakes.
This led to a chain–reaction collision
Fortunately, since they had just started from the green light, no one was driving fast, so there were no fatalities
But because of this, traffic was completely paralyzed
Although Ella didn’t hit anyone or cause a collision, she was partly responsible.
Someone had already called the police, and Ella really wanted to leave.
Ella said. “I have an emergency at home, can I go I’ll take full responsibility for any damages, even if it’s not covered by insurance. I compensate you for emotional distress.”
“We all have an emergency. This is your fault, how are we supposed to explain to the traffic police if you leave?”
“Fine” Ella waved her hand helplessly, frustrated.
She called Hank, who quickly answered.
Ella said. “There’s been an accident, and I have to deal with it. Where’s Liana? I need to talk to her”
This time, it was Jaden who answered. “Ella, you have forty minutes left
Ella said, “Jaden, if you can still hold a phone and talk to me, can’t you figure out a way to save yourself? I’m pregnant. I haven’t even stabilized my pregnancy yet. What on earth are you trying to

insane?” Ella shouted at her phone
She was stuck here, and he was rushing her.
She wished she could be in two places at once.
Finally, the traffic police arrived, and Ella quickly filled our the necessary forms and filed an insurance claim.
She let the insurance company handle everything, left her car there, and arranged for it to be towed after the process was complete.
Then she hailed a taxi.
With the accident and rush hour, it was impossible to reach the Reid family in an hour and a half
She was more than half an hour late.

The place was eerily quiet. Ella even borrowed a wrench from the driver.
She walked in cautiously, expecting a fierce confrontation, but instead, it was eerily silent.
She only saw Jaden. He was sitting there alone, like a homeless child, and looked lifeless.
Hearing her footsteps, he slowly lified his head.
Jaden said
“You’re late.”
“I’m late, but you’re not dead. Where’s Liana?” Ella said and looked around but didn’t see any sign of Liana
Jaden asked, “Why are you late?”
Ella said. “I told you, there was a car accident.”
*Ella, if you’re going to lie, can’t you come up with something better! You’re pregnant. If you were in a car accident, could you come here without a
His eyes were bloodshot, and he resembled a demon emerging from the abyss.
He stepped towards her, causing Ella to retreat in fear.
“It… If you don’t believe me, then forget it Her voice trembled uncontrollably
Jaden was terrifying, like a demon.
“I’m such a fool for giving you chance after chance to hurt me. Do you deserve it, Ella! Do you?”
“Yes, I don’t deserve it, so don’t ever give me another chance again. I’ll be honest with you, the only reason I came here wasn’t to save you but to collect your body. I just wanted to see how you would die, and that would make me happy.” Ella shouted back at him.
