Chapter 1586 Hold It Right There
“What nonsense is that? You are the most ruthless and evil person ever. If anything, you are the one who deserves to die!” Davin roared at Riley while pointing at him.
“That’s right! If I were you, Steven, I’d run a knife through him immediately!” Juan agreed with his brother.
Steven’s silence made Riley panic within. He could not afford a mistake at this very last step. He had spent too much effort over the years waiting for this very moment.
Immediately, Riley defended himself. “Mr. Maupay, you can see for yourself how Evan tried to cause your death back then. You can’t deny what you saw with your own eyes just because of a few things that they have said! Think about it, even Ma’am has said herself that it was Evan who had violated her!”
“Seen with your own eyes? It still may not be the truth!”
“That’s right! You were the one who arranged everything back then! Everything he saw was not real!”
“You… that’s utter rubbish!”
“You are the one spouting rubbish! We are speaking nothing but the truth!”
“That’s right! Own up to your deeds!”
Steven was developing a headache from their argument. No matter what, after all these years of planning and scheming, they were at the brink of success. There was no way he would let it go at this crucial juncture!
After all, they may not encounter such a perfect opportunity ever again.
“Alright, stop fighting! I’ll find out on my own later whether Riley is the culprit. Right now, the matter on hand is to send you Seets to hell!”
“Investigate later? It will be too late! Right after you take action against us tonight, he will deal with you and there will be no more ‘later’ for you! You will die a worse death than ours!”
“Nonsense! Why would I do anything to Mr. Maupay? We are all from the Maupay family and the same blood flows within us!”
“That’s because you-”
What motive would he have? Perhaps I should just make something up?
Just when Davin was trying to figure out a motive, he heard Steven roar with exasperation, “That’s it! Shut up, everybody! Evan, do you still care about your wife? If not, I am sending her to meet her maker immediately!”
Steven drew out a gun and aimed it at Nicole’s head.
The sight of their mother’s life on the line immediately tightened Kyle and Juan’s chests while they looked on with worried eyes.
“Daddy, let’s release Skyler and have Mommy come back to us?”
“Yes, Daddy, if they lose control, Mommy would lose her life!”
Evan’s eyes darkened. The fate of this gamble was in the “Nicole” that was in Steven’s hands.
However, her hands were still tied up. They had to come up with a way for Steven to loosen those binds first.
His silence prompted Steven to get impatient. “I’ll count down from three, after which it will be the end of her! Three…”
“Daddy…”
“Daddy…”
Juan and Kyle looked at Evan. This was a crucial moment and Evan had to play his cards right. Otherwise, Nicole would lose her precious life!
“Two…”
“Mommy…”
“If you hurt my mommy, you will pay for it!” Juan said as he walked up to Steven.
Steven stared squarely at Evan. Meanwhile, his finger slowly curled around the trigger as he prepared to fire a shot at Nicole’s head.
Just when he was about to say “One”, Evan spoke up.
“Hold it right there!”
Steven smiled triumphantly as his finger left the trigger. He knew that Evan would never leave Nicole.
This was especially so in front of his two sons. If he were really that cruel, his two sons would hate him forever.
“Evan, release Skyler, and I will allow your wife to join you. You can then die together!”
“Alright!”
Evan immediately ordered his people to bring Skyler.
