Jean was definitely over agitated.

However, with the fire around them burning so violently, breathable air was scarce, leaving her hackingviolently after her outburst.

’Ma’am?” Doug asked in concern.

Jean did her best to keep herself together. “I’m fine.”

“It has to be a misunderstanding,” Sean said loudly then. “My grandfather would never hurt you or yourfamily!”

’There’s no misunderstanding!” Jean snapped viciously. “My husband died because of yourgrandfather’s schemes! Why else would they leave home together only for my husband to die from theaccident while Jesse stayed fine?!’

‘Have you actually investigated the incident?” Sean asked, staying calm.” Everyone knows that thesurvivor in such a case would be suspected, and no one would have done it so brazenly. And you knowbetter than anyone how careful Jesse was-even if he wanted to kill, he would not have done it soobviously!”

‘That’s what makes Jesse smart. Everyone was convinced he would not do something so stupid anddid not suspect him at all… But I have evidence! I caught the man who sabotaged my husband’s car insecret, and he was the one who told me that your grandfather was behind everything!”

’That only makes it sound more suspicious! Don’t you think that person has been-“

“Save it,” Jean cut Sean short, refusing to listen to his logic.

She was dead sure that Jesse killed her husband, and Sean could not present any evidence of Jesse’sinnocence given this situation either.

‘Give me the document, Sean,” Jean said darkly then, “and I’ll spare you for the sake of our kinship! Oryou will die here with me!”

’No, ma’am. We’re family, and should never have been at each other’s necks like this—especially whenyou’re my grandfather’s sister! I won’t give this to you, but I won’t use it to take anyone in your family tocourt either. It would only serve as leverage to prevent your family from moving against mine! I can helpyou get out of here too. You know it’s not too late,” Sean tried to negotiate regardless.

’Haha!” Jean sneered. “Did you think I’d believe you?! Jesse was the one who groomed you-you’re ascunning as him!”

‘I’m a man of my word, and I promise you that Grandfather will not punish you even if he replaces out thatyou wanted to hurt him. Most importantly, there’s a misunderstanding-“

‘That’s enough!” Jean snapped icily. “I’m counting down from three. Give it to me, or your brains willend up on the ground!”

She brought her rifle level-one shot, and anyone would be killed.

Sean looked at Jean warily in turn.

He would definitely die there if she did not get through to him, but it was painfully obvious that Jeanwas not giving him any chance.

She was convinced it was the truth, and that was final.

After all, she lived for years in good health, if only by calling upon the spite of losing her husband!

‘Three!”

‘Two!”

’One-“

Before Jean could finish, she suddenly felt someone slamming into her from the back, and she fellforward-her aged body was never going to withstand a blow like that.

That fall would have killed her if Doug had not reacted quickly to catch her and cushioned her fall.

Patrick was tumbled to the ground from the momentum of his tackle, and he felt the world spinningaround him—he overdid it.

When he came to his senses, however, he found Doug getting off from underneath Jean andscrambling to his feet to get the rifle Jean dropped.

Patrick scrambled toward it as well, but he had yet to recover and he could not move steadily.

Just as Doug was about to pick up the rifle to level, Patrick lunged forward on top of the rifle, pressinghis full weight down on the rifle, preventing him from bringing it to level.

Doug clenched his teeth and tried his best to push Patrick away, but Patrick grabbed his arms in turn,stopping him from moving.

As the stalemate lasted for heartbeats, Sean rushed toward them!
