My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 676
Callum looked at Vivian quietly. "I'm sorry. Could you let me touch the child, please?"
Vivian backed up decisively. "No way!"
Callum's raised hand gradually fell and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
"Forget it, I guess this is karma!" Turning his head, he looked at Fabian again. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nolan. I can't protect you anymore..."
"Callum..." Fabian shouted.
"Don't move!" Vivian took the gun and shot at Fabian's feet.
"I knew that you were the one who made Callum into what he is today. I'm going to kill you!"
"Vivian!" Eudora called after her hurriedly. "Don't be silly! He's not worth it."
Fabian was already as good as dead once the police catch him. However, if Vivian were to shoot him now, then she would be a murderer, and the one going to jail would be her. It would not be worth it for her to suffer so much for the likes of him.
However, Vivian would not listen to her with the state she was in at that moment. She was on the verge of a breakdown.
She took two quick steps forward and ran towards Fabian. She thought there were still bullets in the gun, but she realized that the gun was empty when she came to his side.
Vivian was stunned for a second, and her neck was clasped by Fabian's backhand before she could even react. He stood in front of her, his gaze menacing.
"You've killed Callum. What do you think I would do to you?"
Vivian gritted her teeth. "Kill me and be done with it!"
Fabian glanced at Callum, who had died in vain, and snorted. "I'll bury you alive with Callum!"
He wrapped his fingers around Vivian's neck.
"Fabian!" Eudora shouted. "Don't!"
Fabian turned around and looked at Eudora with a smile. "You're willing to plead for an outsider, but why won't you grant me a shred of pity?"
Eudora sneered, "That's because I know that Vivian is a good person even though we've only known each other for a while. But you, you are heartless. Why should I show mercy to a heartless bad guy like you?"
"Heartless?" Fabian laughed. "Yes, I am heartless. I have watched my mother being beaten by my father since I was a child. It's not that I have never tried to help her, but she still wants to stay by his side even after getting beaten up by him. As for me, I would become the target of my father's fury after helping my mother. I, too, wanted to be the good guy, but who would give me such an opportunity? This world is unfair. Only a fool can be a good person!"
He slowly tightened his grip on Vivian, whose face was turning pale gradually.
"It's... O...kay...." Vivian smiled as she shook her head.
All of a sudden, a flurry of police sirens could be heard outside. "People inside, listen, you've been surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender!"
Fabian snorted, "Finally. Come in, bring it on!"
There was a beeping prompt on the walkie-talkie, and an anxious voice could be heard from the other end, "Mr. Nolan, we are doomed. Our underground bank and organization have all been raided, and everyone has been taken away. This time, we really have nothing left..."
Fabian was stunned as the speaker's voice slowly faded away.
"Nothing?"
Callum had just told him earlier that morning that he could still start afresh if he were to go abroad and that his failure this time would not impede his chance of starting anew. How did it all become nothing all of a sudden?
"It's you!" Fabian stared at Amos. "You're the one who plotted against me. That information..."
"Obviously! I knew from the very beginning that you instructed Kesha to pretend to be Eudora to spy on us."
"You..." Fabian gritted his teeth and suddenly burst into laughter. "I lost. I finally know why I lost! You know Eudora too well. I have underestimated you!"
Amos shook his head. "No, you're wrong. It's not that I know her well, it's just that... she is my everything."
She had long since become a part of him. He could still see through the imposter no matter how much she tried to hide it.
"Everything?" Fabian smiled bitterly. Was there anyone in the world who thought of him as their everything?
He didn't know. Perhaps, there weren't.
Fabian suddenly pushed Vivian aside and stood before Amos and Eudora. His
expression was calm and unwavering.
Amos subconsciously tightened his wrist. "Don't move."
However, Fabian had no fear at all. "You said it yourself, it's not worth it to kill someone like me, right?"
Amos frowned and Fabian turned to look at Eudora.
"Eudora, I've lost everything!"
Eudora ignored him, and he continued, "Eudora, could you please come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you."
"Don't!" Amos grabbed Eudora's hand.
"It's about your father and the Holt Family! Do you really not want to know?"
Eudora's heart skipped a beat and Amos shook his head. "Eudora."
"Don't worry. You're here, aren't you? You still have a gun in your hand. I'm not afraid."
She broke free from Amos' hand and slowly walked forward. "Speak!"
Fabian did not say a word. Instead, he lowered his head and scrutinized Eudora's face, inch by inch, as though he wanted to engrave her look into his mind. "Eudora, you're so beautiful."
Eudora frowned. "Didn't you have something to say to me?"
Fabian then turned away and lowered his head to whisper in her ear. The next second, Eudora's eyes widened, "What did you say? My father, he..."
However, Fabian had already kept his lips sealed. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. It'll be your turn one day."
All of a sudden, he grabbed Eudora's hand while she was still in shock. A light flashed in front of his eyes, and Fabian took a dagger out.
The handle of the knife was cold, the chill spreading into the palm of Eudora's hand.
Eudora looked at Fabian in shock as the sound of a blade cutting into flesh rang through the air. "You..."
Fresh blood trickled down from the corner of Fabian's lips. He smiled as he looked at Eudora in front of him. He brushed across her face with his blood-stained hand.
"Eudora, I have said before that you are mine. Even if I had to die, I will die by your hands. By doing so, you will never forget me again..."
"Fabian..."
Eudora trembled all over as she looked at her own hand. Did she just kill someone? She didn't know that someone could bleed so much and that a person's blood was so warm.
"Ah..." Eudora screamed in horror as Amos hugged her from behind.
"Eudora, don't be afraid. This is not your fault."
Eudora, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded. She kept repeating to herself, "I killed someone!"
Harley and the others heard the commotion and immediately rushed into the room, only to see Fabian lying on the ground, dead silent. Amos, however, was sitting on the ground with Eudora, who was covered in blood.
Harley was shocked. "You guys..."
Amos shook his head. "Let's clean this up first."
Harley took the two of them to the police station together once the mess was cleaned up.
