Chapter 302

"Don't kill Zachary I beg you. You can do whatever you want but that Although William had vowed that he would never interfere with Anthony again, he could not simply watch his descendants go at each other's throats, not when he was still alive and kicking.

Not a peep came from Anthony, his eyes, though, glaring at Zachary with an intense murderous intention as he neared Zachary step by step. "Help, Grandpa!" Zachary shouted anxiously, regardless of whether William could hear him.

At that moment, he regretted what he had done that day. He had thought about usurping the position of head of the family and even wanting to finish Anthony off, only failing to imagine staking his life, You hear me, Anthony?" William heard Zachary's scream and thought something had happened. He tried to stop Anthony while summoning his men to take the wheel. "Do you wish me to die with regret, Anthony?"

Anthony sighed deeply and compromised. "He can have a second chance, but the premise is that he's never involved in the fire burning the Davis family."

That was what he promised Isabella

William had a headache when he heard it, for that was precisely what Shawn and Lewis had done. William had even helped clean up after them to hinder Anthony's investigation Anthony learning about the truth was the last thing he wanted.

Pondering, he figured he should hold Anthony down first. "I know what happened back then. Wait for me and I'll explain.

"Grandpa, don't bother, I can manage." After saying that, Anthony hung up before turning off the phone.

Once that was done, Anthony focused on Zachary again. "Tell me, did you have anything to do with what happened to the Davis family? Zachary's eyes flickered. He seemed guilty.

He heard Anthony's words, so he dared not own up but could only speak with a guilty conscience. "I have nothing to do with ic"

His words fell, and the next second, Isabella ratted on him. "Anthony, don't believe him. He just admitted that he started the fire, and be still has photos of my grandpa before he breathed his last. He's the murderer. Don't worry about me. Just kill him"

"You have a dying wish, bitch!" Zachary was flustered after Isabella gave him away, pressing the muzzle of the gun against Isabella's temple while clasping Isabella's neck with his elbow.

All of a sudden, Isabella could hardly breathe

"Zachary!" Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously and roared in a deep voice.

Should he be exposed, Zachary knew that Anthony would not let him go.

He figured he must not linger longer. He had to replace an escape route, or only death awaited him.

As he was pondering, he took Isabella to the back door of the warehouse.

Zachary knew Anthony's capability, so he made Isabella block his body, not giving Anthony any opening to strike

He shouted emotionally as he walked, "Don't follow or six dies"

A car was there behind the warehouse, and Zachary planned to flee with it.

Anthony was afraid that Zachary would jump the gun, so he kept his distance. He stood there coldly and bellowed harshly. "There's no escape, Zachary" chance of escaping if

"If I can't escape, this wretch will go down with me. Zachary moved all the way to the back door. He would have a much better ch he got into the car at the exit When Zachary glimpsed the sliver of hope, he noticed the car tire had already been punctured.

Seeing that

Last getaway was gone, Zachary was devastated, thinking, 'Am I really gonna meet my maker right here, right now?

There Anthony was approaching step by step.

Zachary had no way out. He could shamble toward the cliff, dragging along Isaliella. "Come any closer and I'll take her own with me"

They were an inch away from the cliff, so Anthony stopped pressing

Both parties were in a stalemate on the edge of the cliff

As time went by. Zachary's mental state worsened.

Suddenly, he stepped on the gravel and lost his footing, staggering for a bit.

It was that opening that allowed Anthony to aim and shoot.

His every movement was smooth without hesitation.

"Ah!" Zachary's hand was shot. The agonizing pain took his mind off of Isabella momentarily.

Quick as a wink, Anthony dachs

Considering how long she had been held captive, Isabella was feeble and could not even stand firmly. All she could muster was to

"Are you hurt anywhere? Anthony asked with concern.

Isabella shook her head gently while staring coldly at Zachary

After restoring some strength, she grabbed the pistol from Anthony and aimed it at Zachary who was wailing on the ground. Her eyes

shone with hatred. "Zachary, you took so many lives of the Davis family. It's payback time."

Anthony merely watched from the sidelines, reckoning that it was only

fair for i Isabella to settle the score of her kin.

Right when Isabella was about to shoot, Zachary endured the pain and stopped her. "Wait! There's something about the Davis family you have to know." He cut to the chase, leaving her in no suspense, knowing how she hated his guts

As expected. Isabella heard the mention of the Davis family and calmed down to question him. "What do you know?"

"I'll tell you everything if you spare me." Zachary tried to cut her a deal.

Tell it to Hades, then" Isabella raised her gun at him again.

Why

won't she play by the rules? Zachary wondered in a panic as he jumped in fright, quickly throwing in the towel. "Okay, I'll tell

William coming to his rescue was his last hope.

Their came his speech. "I did set the fire back then, but your family was already dead before I started it,

I know who's the murderer"

"Spit it out" Isabella mimicked Zachary's move by pointing the gun directly at his forehead and threatening him

"They're from the third branch of the Clara family. They killed your family first, and I set fire afterward just to cover our tracks. I wasn't the culprit, so you should exact revenge on them" All Zachary cared about at that point was saving his own life.

"How do I know that you're not j

not just making up a lie to let me spare you?" Isabella was skeptical about Zachary's words at that time.

"I have proof back at home. Let me go home and I'll get it for you, pleaded Zachary

'Til look for the proof you mentioned, but I don't believe that you're innocent. The blood of so many of die Davis family shall be paid with yours first," was Isabella's warning.

Just when lubella wanted to pull the trigger, an old voice sounded. "Stop"

William rushed over with the help of his subordinate,

His eyes widened the second he saw Isabella pointing a gun at his grandson.
