Chapter 521

LG suddenly stood up and approached me. In response, I glared at her fearlessly and questioned,"Why did you lead me here?"

I purposely tossed the question at her. "Make a guess," she chuckled.

Guess what?! What does she want me to guess? What a lunatic! Then, I grabbed May's arm anduttered coldly, "Ezekiel was the one who told me to come. I believe he has contacted you, so let us go."

When she heard that, she fiddled with the knife in her hands and snickered, "No wonder he gave me acall earlier, but unfortunately—"

That knife in her hand looked deadly sharp, so I assumed it was her usual killing weapon.

I kept quiet, but she continued coldly, "Unfortunately, I didn't answer."

I couldn't believe she didn't pick up his call! What was she up to?! Was she giving up on her life nowthat she had done what she shouldn't?!

Afterward, I stepped back, dragging May along behind me. However, LG noticed my fear and added,"Ezekiel… You're the only person I've heard calling him that. I wonder why he cares so much aboutyou."

"Do people not call him by his name?"

"What a fool." She smiled after hearing my question.

I was rendered speechless instantly. Did she really think she was smart?!

"Why did you pull such a lowly act if you're smart?"

Suddenly, LG arched her brows and glanced at May before asking, "Because I kidnapped her?"

I remained silent, but she chuckled, "I'm only following orders. My original plan was to contact Alfred.Unfortunately, I changed my mind and thought it might be interesting to call you over."

She was targeting me! Why?! All I could think of was Shawn.

"Why? Because of jealousy?"

"Jealousy?"

As soon as LG heard the word 'jealousy,' she immediately started acting irrationally and pacing backand forth. All of a sudden, I found her antics quite amusing!

Following that, she questioned, "Why should I be jealous of you?"

Then, I retorted, "You should know better than me!"

"Tell me!" she snapped.

Suddenly, LG took two steps closer to me as if she had lost her mind and stabbed May in the shoulderwith the knife. In a tone filled with dismay, she spat, "Tell me! Why should I be jealous of you?!"

She pulled out the knife with such force that I had to pull May back in shock. Nonetheless, May grittedher teeth and restrained herself from letting out a scream. She was bleeding profusely, and it was aterrifying sight, so I tore the hem of my skirt to use as a bandage.

Seeing how flustered and frightened we were, LG laughed out loud. "Why am I jealous of you? Youbetter tell me right now!" She was still dwelling on that question.

"Ask yourself!" I countered.

Her expression twisted in an instant. As if recalling something, she mumbled, "I'll never be jealous ofyou! There's nothing I should be jealous of! Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"

The more LG denied it, the more suspicious she became, and I could tell she was really envious of me.

"Shawn?" I blurted in a soft voice.

A sudden realization dawned on her as she gaped at me in disbelief. She then glanced at the knife inher hand and questioned, "How is that possible?"

Through gritted teeth, May snapped, "What? Are you still in denial?"

LG turned crazy all of a sudden as she staggered back to the couch. I noticed there was a pistol and asharp knife beside her.

Still, I was adamant that May and I could not escape from her. We had no choice but to wait for Ezekiel,who would rush over if he couldn't get in touch with LG over the phone. Nonetheless, I was skepticalthat he would come to our aid. All I could do was hold out hope.

At that moment, LG fell silent as if lost in thought and stared blankly out the window at the moonlight.Then, I noticed May's blood had soaked through the bandage from earlier, so I tore a piece of my skirtoff and carefully rebandaged her wound.

We were in a building under construction where only the framework was complete, so the space waswell-ventilated. The eerie atmosphere, combined with the brisk air, sent shivers down our spines.Moreover, I couldn't help but feel slight discomfort as I watched LG's expression. Nevertheless, hervibe was unsettling, and I had no idea what she was thinking.

At that moment, I received a text from Ezekiel. 'Ms. Felix, please stall for time." He was aware that Ihad arrived at the location. However, it wasn't as if I didn't want to buy time; she was sitting silently onthe couch. Moreover, I had no idea what was going through her mind, but she appeared to be lost inher own world.

Suddenly, she called out to me, "Renee."

"Yeah?"

Since he told me to buy time, it was imperative to treat her with gentleness and refrain from provokingher in case she began to cause us harm.

"How did you and Shawn meet?"

Hm! Now I'm sure she's jealous that I have Shawn. She envies my identity as Mrs. Xenos and despisesme because I am his wife.

Since I was concerned about offending her and the possibility that she would cause us harm, I gave anhonest response. "I met him when I was on vacation in Eldham. Back then, he was injured due to beinghunted down by enemies, so I brought him to the homestay I stayed in. He wanted to repay mykindness, so he told me to call him Sunny."

After a moment of silence, LG responded, "He has no heart of gratitude."

"I can't speak to that, but that was the gist of our initial meeting. Back then, I had recently divorced andstill hadn't completely moved on from my ex-spouse, yet he had always stood by my side and kept mesafe."

"Who was the first to confess?"

Why did she suddenly ask that question?

"Do you think it was Shawn?"

Hearing that, LG looked depressed. "No."

"You're right. I was the one who confessed to him first."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that I was the one who confessed but soon lamented,"He doesn't seem like one to accept a confession."

"Yes. He rejected me," I replied in all honesty.

"What happened later? How did you get together?"

"He took pity on me, so we naturally got together. After that, we registered our marriage." I worded itsimply because I shouldn't tell her every single detail.

On the other hand, Ezekiel did tell me to buy time.

"Shawn has told me about you," I continued.

LG seemed pleasantly surprised to hear that. "What did he say about me?"

He had previously made comments about her to me, but they were all negative and focused on hisdesire to oppose her. In addition, Rudy even called her a lunatic.

However, when I recalled Joseph's words, I started babbling nonsense. "He said you guys dependedon each other very much and had gone through thick and thin together."

LG's eyes lit up at that. "What else?"

How could I possibly remember?!

At that moment, I prayed in my heart that Ezekiel would rush here in time because I could hardly hold itout any longer.

"Why did you betray him back then?"

Why did LG betray Shawn and join Ezekiel?

Her act of joining Ezekiel made people assume that she liked him.

Suddenly, she unbuttoned her jacket and responded, "Ezekiel? Oh, you mean Mike? He said he wouldbring Shawn to me as long as I joined him."

"And you believed him?" I asked in doubt.

Was she that dumb?

"Why can't I believe him?" she countered.

It was windy in Bryxton, while the moon seemed to shine even brighter. Blinking her eyes, LG huffed,"Shawn was nothing compared to Mike back then! How did you think Shawn earned his currentposition? Renee, you must know they've used despicable means to deal with Mike. Hah! They are abunch of shameless people!"
