The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1041 Bringing Allen Under Control

Sue only saw Anthony and Andy. Although Charles also came along, he was accompanying Sheryl nearby. Sue glanced at Anthony and asked, "What about you?"

"You just go. Don't worry about us," Anthony replied as he narrowed his eyes. He had made great efforts to have the opportunity to catch Allen. He must stay here and teach Allen a hard lesson. Peggy's mouth was still covered by Anthony's hand, so she couldn't make any noise. Though, she still tried to struggle against his grip in an attempt to alert Allen.

Anthony leaned in close to Peggy's ear and said, in a threatening toner, "Behave yourself, otherwise I will be forced to teach you a lesson now."

Peggy couldn't respond, but her eyes were full of deep seeded hatred.

As Anthony held Peggy's hands behind her back using the strength of his free hand, he was unable to see the death stare on Peggy's face. But Sue was able to see it clearly.

She curled her lips into a wry smile and lowered her voice, "Please don't blame me. When Allen chose to kill Doris, you should have known that the end wouldn't be good for him. Even if I let you go today, the police wouldn't allow you to escape. Especially you were willing to assist him in escaping.

Hearing what Sue had said, Peggy glared at her with her eyes ablaze with the fires of hatred, loathing, and revulsion.

"Here, just tie her up with the rope. Then we can handle Allen," Andy suggested with a calm voice.

"Okay," Anthony said, agreeing that tying her up would be the best solution before tackling Allen. Then he brought a rope and tied Peggy's hands behind her back. For a brief moment, he removed his hand from her mouth. As soon as he did, she seized that moment to yell out to alert Allen. As loud as she could, she screamed, "Allen, run, run..."

Hearing Peggy's voice, Allen immediately awoke from his slumber. He looked around and saw that Sue wasn't here. He hastily rushed out and saw that Andy and Anthony had already tied up Peggy. Seeing that Sue was still lingering around and hadn't left as he had instructed, Anthony set a tied up Peggy aside and immediately positioned Sue behind himself. He began to reprimand her, "I told you to get out of here and replace Sheryl!. What are you still doing here?"

"I..." Sue flashed him a defiant, stubborn smile. Then she added, "I'm not leaving here without you. When you leave, then I'll leave."

Anthony, realizing that there was nothing he could do to change her resolve, took a deep breath, and replied helplessly, "Fine, but you must stand far away here. Be careful and don't allow Allen to get close to you."

"Okay," Sue nodded her head slightly. Then she walked far away and stood behind where Peggy was tied up. Seeing what a situation now was, Allen began to curse bitterly, "Sue, you are such an ungrateful bitch! How could you do this to me? I even bought some food for you to eat when I went out. I'm warning you, untie mom and let her go now. If you do not, I promise I will make you regret it!"

"Allen, stop being so stubborn," Sue parted her lips slightly as she smirked a little. She began to try and persuade Allen, "You can't continue to do the wrong things and expect that you're not going to have to pay for them. Just give up, admit your guilt and accept your punishment."

"Shut up!" Allen yelled at Sue, his cheeks bright red.

He then smiled maliciously and glared at Anthony and Andy. "I will make all of you pay for this! Even if not today. You'd better pray that I never get ahold of you. For if I do, I will surely kill you on the spot. Since you choose to threaten my livelihood, I will make sure you suffer greatly."

As he finished, Allen took a knife out and pointed it at Anthony and Andy. "Come and get me if you have the guts. Bring it on!!!"

"Allen," Anthony said with a hardened expression and an unwavering voice. "Only because you are Sue's brother, I give you one last chance. If you give yourself up to the police, I will let you go today," he added.

"Ha!" Allen replied with a defiant smile plastered on his face. In a defiant tone, he said to Anthony, "It isn't even an option for me to give myself up. If you are smart, you'll just do what I told you to do. Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive today."

"It seems that we can't come to an agreement then, huh?" Anthony inquired with an amused smile. He had given Allen an opportunity to do the right thing, but he chose not to take it.

Andy furrowed his brows and spoke to Anthony. "Don't waste your breath on this clown anymore. Just tie him up with the other miscreant and take them both to the police station. After that, we can all go home and get some rest."

At that point, both Andy and Anthony rushed towards Allen in order to take him down together.

Because Allen had the knife in his hand, he felt as though he was bigger and harder than he really was.

It was painfully obvious that he had been born and raised out in the country, where he had been extremely spoiled by his mother. He hadn't been made to do any of the chores that most boys who grew up on a farm had to do. Therefore, he didn't possess any of the physical strength that would have afforded him otherwise.

When Peggy saw that Allen didn't stand much of a chance of physically resisting the two men heading straight for him, she could barely hold back the tears as her anxiety bubbled to the surface.

She turned around and began to beg Sue, "Sue, my daughter, my kind daughter. Please untie me. I need to help Allen. He is the only son I have, and I cannot just sit idly by and watch him be taken down." "He is your brother. Could you please convince Anthony to let him go? Just help us and let us go. We aren't asking for anything else but to allow us to leave this place..." Peggy kept begging. Seeing Peggy's continuous plea for mercy, Sue had mixed feelings.

She stared at Peggy and replied, "Mom, you played a major role in why Allen is the way he is. You are the one that spoiled him so much that he felt he could do whatever he wanted. Now that he has gotten himself into a predicament that he can't escape from, he should have to deal with all the consequences. Because you didn't teach him all of the things he needed to know while he was growing up, now it will be taught to him by someone else."

"What do you mean by that? He is your brother. How could you sit back and watch him stay in jail for the rest of his life?"

"Because he killed a woman! A pregnant woman at that! He is a murderer!" Sue couldn't help but to yell at Peggy. Her emotions ran so high as she spoke that she nearly lost her balance.

With a cynical grin, she added, "While I can't deny that he is my brother, he is also a murderer. He has taken the lives of Doris and her unborn baby. No matter what Doris had done, she was a person. A pregnant woman at that time! But Allen just killed her. Have you ever thought about the kind of pain and anguish her parents would suffer?"

With not even a hint of sympathy, Peggy replied, "I have already told you, that bitch deserved what she got. She had it coming." With a callous tone, she added, "Doris was raised by her parents to be a fickle and lascivious bitch. My son did the world a favor by getting rid of her and the spawn she carried within her that, no doubt, would have been just like her."

"You..." Sue's face turned a pale white as her rage reached it highest point yet. She then replied with a jeering smile, "Fine. If you still insist that Allen did nothing wrong, I have nothing more to say to you aside from the fact that both of you are going to get exactly what you deserve for being so heartless!"

After she finished, Sue walked away and refused to speak to Peggy anymore. She knew that no matter what she said to her, it would fall on deaf ears and she would be wasting her breath.

"Sue, you are such an ungrateful bitch! If I had known that this is the type of person you would become, I would have killed you the moment you were born. I loathe your very existence! I hope that your child will be a born disabled. You..." Seeing Sue's unwillingness to help them escape, Peggy cursed at her.

Normally, Sue would just let her mother spout off at the mouth. After all, that was her mother.

However, the moment she heard her speak about wishing harm on the child she was carrying, she could not let that slide. The protective motherhood took her over and she walked up to Peggy straight away and slapped the taste out of her heartless mouth.

"Mom, the child in my belly is your grandson. You can curse me and say whatever you want to about me. However, how DARE you wish evil on him!" Sue said with blind fury in her eyes. "Grandson? How can I have a grandson when I don't even have a daughter?" Peggy replied with a contemptuous smile.

"Fine, if that is how you want it, it is okay with me. From this point forward, you are no longer my mother and I have nothing to do with you or your good for nothing son! I hope both of you rot in prison for the remainder of your miserable lives," Sue said with disdain.
