Chapter 274
Chapter 274
I could clearly feel something piercing through my skin and into my body!
The next second, the pain in the back of my waist intensified. It was getting more and more painful!
I bit my lips hard and turned around, only to see Gina standing there behind me. She was still holding the knife that pierced into my body. It was a fruit knife.
The metal blade was already covered with blood!
It hurt!
I had never felt so much pain!
Although I wanted to stand up, the pain in the back of my waist was beyond my imagination. I turned around and moved my leg, which affected my wound. I fell to my knees directly because of the pain.
"What are you doing!" Jeremy obviously did not expect Gina to stab me!
There was no fear in Gina's eyes. Instead, she looked ferocious. "Can't you tell that she won't give us the house? In a while, the Cowell Family's third son will surely come over, and we'll be doomed then! Since that's the case, we'd better kill her! At worst, we'll be sentenced to death! It's a good deal!"
Upon hearing Gina's words, I immediately regretted my decision.
I should say yes.
It was only eight o'clock now, and Shelton would come at least 11 o'clock.
By 11 o'clock, my blood would have already drained.
"No, I can't!"
"I can't die! I still have Glenn."
"Patrick is married. I certainly can't expect him to take care of Glenn. I am Glenn's mother, and I am the only one to do that!"
"I can't die," I thought.
When I thought of that, I hesitated for a moment, grabbed Gina, and said, "I'll give you the house!" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?" Gina was stunned.
I managed to stand up. "The premises permit of that house is now under the name of Shelton, and it is also with him. Please help me contact him!"
Gina heard me and started to panic. "What? Why is our premises permit in his place?" "Anyway, the premises permit is now under his name. You, you call an ambulance to save me. I will write a note and give it to you!"
I covered the wound on the back of my waist with my hand and felt the blood oozing out little by little. There was more and more sticky fluid on my hand.
Besides, my body was getting colder and colder.
I felt my life slipping away.
After I said that, I got up slightly and took a piece of paper from the table with great pain. Then I took out a pen and wrote a note, saying that I was willing to give the house to Gina and Jeremy, with my left hand covering the wound and my right hand holding the pen.
In fact, I knew it very well.
The note didn't count at all.
After all, the house was under the name of Shelton. So what if I wrote them a note?
But at the moment, I must have them believe me!
After finishing my writing, I returned the piece of paper to Gina and said, "Use your phone to call an ambulance for me."
Gina hesitated for a moment, but still took out her phone. When she was about to make a call, Jeremy directly walked up to her and stopped her.
He bent down, picked up the paper from the ground, and roughly glanced at it. Then he directly tore it into pieces and threw it to the ground, sneering. "Are you trying to fool us? Since the house is not yours, the name Charlotte won't be something useful. Charlotte is a dead person now! What's the use of writing that name?"
Sure enough, Gina was silly, but that was not the case when it came to Jeremy.
Gina was suddenly enlightened and pointed the knife at me. "Charlotte, how dare you fool us!"
"Then, then what do you want me to do?" I looked at Jeremy. "I can do whatever you want."
"I can't die.
"For the sake of Glenn, I cannot die!"
Jeremy stood there and thought for a while. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth was lifted up, and hatred crept over his skinny face. He said word by word, "Of course, I want to watch you die."
I frowned slightly.
Jeremy did not explain to me, but said to Gina, "Put the knife away. Go to get something to wipe everything here clean. Make sure not to leave any traces of our fingerprints. Well go then!"
As soon as he said that, I knew what he was going to do!
Gina, however, didn't understand. "Why?" "This is a private house, which has no surveillance equipment, and we've never been here before." Jeremy paused and continued, "When she's dead, well sue Shelton for forcibly occupying our daughter's property and get the house back!"
"Ah!" Gina suddenly realized it and nodded, "Yes, you're right!"
She washed the knife clean, put it away, and began to wipe things clean.
At that moment, I had already lost a lot of blood.
Hence, I had almost no strength left in my body.
I felt cold all over, and my eyelids were heavy.
If I had not tried my best to hold on, I would have fallen asleep in the next second.
"No, no! Save me! Save me!" I despaired.
Jeremy was afraid that I would make trouble, so he directly grabbed my leg and pulled me into the small conference room!
My wound was on the waist. With such a pull, it hurt violently!
"Ah!" I cried out in pain.
However, Jeremy did not seem to have heard of it.
He pulled me all the way into the small conference room, closed the door, and stood outside looking at my pained expression. There was actually a gratified smile on his face. "Charlotte, is it worth it? What I regret most is having you as my daughter."
"You! Hiss..."
I wanted to scold him, but I felt too much pain on my waist. It hurt the moment I got excited.
When Jeremy saw this, the smile on his face grew much broader. "Charlotte, as my daughter, you'll still be of some use even if you are dead."
"Bah! You don't deserve to be my father at all!"
I lay there, not daring to move an inch.
I was afraid that I would pull my wound again and make me colder.
"Yes, I only have one daughter, Caroline. If it weren't for you, we could have saved her!" When Jeremy spoke, his eyes became vicious. "We have already given him all the money we had, but because it was not enough, he brought Caroline to that ship at last!"
Upon hearing Jeremy's words, I realized what he was talking about.
"Haha." I looked at Jeremy. "Do you think you can save her? I'm telling you, Roger had no intention of letting us both live, but I was lucky..."
"Bah! It's you! We've listened to the voice band in the black box on the ship. It was you who stabbed Caroline with a fruit knife and pushed her into the sea of fire, making her unable to escape!"
Jeremy glared at me, his two hands tightly clutching the handles of the conference room door.
His eyes filled with hatred!
The so-called black box was fake.
I knew it, but I also knew that Jeremy would not believe me.
How could he believe me? He had never ever believed me!
My eyelids were getting heavier. Without uttering a single word, Jeremy turned around and left, and then said to Gina in the distance, "Come and wipe the handles clean."
"Okay."
Gina agreed obediently.
I lay there, feeling that my clothes were almost utterly soaked.
"I'm doomed."
"Am I going to die?"
"What shall Glenn do?" "If I die, he will be sad."
"Who can save me?"
I was in despair.
"Ding Dong." Outside the door, the doorbell rang at that moment.
"Is Shelton out there?"
A glimmer of hope rose in my heart.
The moment the doorbell rang, I heard the silence outside. Gina and Jeremy didn't say anything.
My cell phone was ringing upstairs.
The ringtone did not belong to my personal cell phone. The person outside the door was not Shelton.
"I'm finished."
If it was someone else, no matter who he was, he would surely leave when he heard that no one answered.
