Chapter 160
Even in death, Ella wanted to die quietly.
Seeing the person he cared about kneeling on the ground, with a swollen face and blood at the corners of her mouth, Jaden was overcome with fury,
If it weren’t for Ella still being in Grace’s hands, with that gleaming knife pressed against her neck, he might have already rushed over and torn
Grace apart
“Grace,” Jaden coldly uttered her name
Her face turned ashen, her legs trembling, but she still forced herself to appear calm.
“You… You better not come any closer, or 11 kill her, Grace said.
Jaden had no choice but to remain still,
Jadnen said, “I can let you leave Ardbert City and ensure that no one will harm you. If you want money or tog hurt her.
Grace was somewhat tempted, but she had also regained her senses.
She had already bound Ells. There was no turning back now
She didn’t believe Jaden would actually let her go. She knew how Harry had been tortured in prison.
Jaden was definitely vengeful.
Since she was going to die anyway, Grace just dragged someone else down with her..
The thought emboldened her,
She raised an eyebrow at Jaden and clicked her tongue. “What if I don’t let her gof
Jaden narrowed his eyes and said, “What do you want then!”
go abroad, it’s all possible, just don’t
Grace said, “Although you helped me by imprisoning Harry, I still dislike you. I was already victorious. Ella was just discarded, unwanted. But your presence changed everything. You love her so much, don’t you? Then 1 want to see just how much you love her
Grace scanned the dilapidated room and found a discarded steel pipe.
She kicked it, and it rolled to Jaden’s feet
Grace said. “Break one of your arms. If you don’t comply, her face will be ruined”
The knife was pressed against Ella’s delicate cheek, emitting a chilling aura.
Ella’s heart jolted at the words because she believed Jaden would actually do it.
He just shot himself last time, after all
Ella said, “Jaden, don’t listen to her. She hates me to the care and won’t ever let me go. Sacrificing yourself is the most foolish thing you could do “And you?” Jaden countered, bending down to pick up the p
pipe.
“You knew you couldn’t leave, but you still came. She told you voice, but each word was like a heavy blow to Ella’s heart.
to tell me, and you actually obeyed. Do you not trust me?” Jaden said in a calm
Ella’s mind was blank. She thought, Is it because I don’t trust Jaden, or is it something elser
She wanted to bear it herself, to repay her parents kindness.
There was mistrust and fear, fear of losin
losing her grandfather.
Jaden said, “If I break one of my arms, will you let her go!”
Grace said, “I don’t know, but I can guarantee that if you don’t comply, she will suffer. If you
you don’t believe me, I’ll stab her right now.”

Grace smiled, her eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
Jaden’s eyes narrowed dangerously,
Jaden said, I believe you.”
Grace said, “Then hurry up.
D:
“Don’t..” Ella screamed as the pipe swung down, creating a gust of wind and crashing heavily onto his arm.
A sharp crack echoed, causing Ella’s ears to ache.
His arm hung limply, the sleeve hiding the injury, but it was evidently severe.
Blood flowed continuously, pooling into a small puddle on the floor.
Jaden’s face turned pale with pain, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.
The intense pain almost made him collapse. He knelt on one knee, using his uninjured right hand to support himself.
Sweat dripped down, and the veins on his forehead were visible.
“Is it enough?” Jaden struggled to speak, his mouth filled with blood from clenching his teeth.
Grace was stunned, not expecting Jaden to go this far.
She calmed down, and she didn’t feel a sense of satisfaction. Instead, her anger flared
Grace wondered, “Why is there such a man around Ella? Why did I always strive to please the men around me, only to receive such genuine affection? Why can Ella get true lovel
Grace said, “Ella, you’re so lucky. Some people would sacrifice their lives for you. What makes you so deserving?
Grace’s face contorted with malice, her voice sharp.
Ella couldn’t hear Grace clearly, only staring blankly at Jaden
The floor was covered in blood, and the air was thick with its stench.
Jaden’s body was shaking, seemingly on the brink of collapse.
Without thinking, Ella rushed over to support him.
Fortunately, Grace reacted quickly. Otherwise, the knife would have sliced Ella’s throat.
Grace quickly retracted the knife and tightly grabbed Ella’s clothes.
With a tearing sound, Ella received a cut on her arm.
The wound was just shallow, but it was painful. Then Jaden must be in great pain.
“Ella!” The scene left Jaden trembling with fear.
His eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing? Do you want to die? Did rescuing you make you so unbearable that you’d rather face death?” Jaden said.
“No…. it’s not like that,” she stammered, trying to explain.
She didn’t want to die. Her mind had gone blank, and she just wanted to hold him.
She suddenly felt so foolish and thought, “Why all the struggle? I like Jaden, and he loves me deeply. Why are we torturing each other!
“Grace, what will it take for you
you to let her got Tell me?” Jaden shouted.
“How about you break a leg instead! I enjoyed watching you do it just now I’d
to see it again.” Grace said smugly,
Ella was horrified. “Don’t, Jaden. Don’t do anything foolish. I’ll be honest with you. I don’t love you. I’ve never loved you. Why go through all thist Just go as far away as you can. I don’t want to see you.”
Chapter 100
These words were sharper than a knife stabbing right into Jaden’s heart.
His heart felt like it was breaking.
Grace smirked, watching the drama untold
“Even if you don’t love me, I’ll still save you I love you,” Jaden said.
Then he said to Grace. “You want to see the show, don’t you? Then watch in Jaden, struggling to stay upright, shakily held the steel pipe.
Grace was waiting for him to break a leg, but Jaden steadied himself and hurled the pipe at her.
Grace instinctively dodged, retreating several steps.
At tui moment, a shadow passed outside the window.
“Watch out! The scarred man quickly grabbed Grace and pushed her to the ground.
A gunshot rang out
The scarred man was hit in the chest.
“Ma’am, are you alright?” The scarred man coughed up blood.
Hot blood splattered onto Grace.
She was horrified.
A loudspeaker outside announced, “Everyone inside, you are surrounded Release the hostages, or we The extreme measures included shooting on the spot,
In this brief moment, Jaden quickly ran over and tightly embraced Ella
Jaden asked, “Are you alright?”
Ella said, “Your… Your hand…
Jaden said, I’m fine. Be careful!”
Jaden suddenly frowned and pulled Ella protectively into his arms.
Ella barely had time to see before she heard a muffled groan from him.
Something warm and wet dripped onto her neck.
