Chapter 0159

Nicholas white T-shirt was immediately stained red with blood. Claudia would alternate between crying apologetically and glaring at me with hatred. She had also begur laughing creepily

Upon hearing the ruckus, the attendents immediately rushed in and apologized. But if I hadn't asked them all to leave, such a thing would not have happened.

Nicholas didn't seem to be able to feel the pain. There was an air of coldness around him as his expression was filled with indifference. He looked at me with his dark eyes, The second he opened his mouth to speak, it was as if all the light in his eyes had vanished. "I'll use my blood to settle the score between the two of you, alright?"

The injury was around his waist, and the location of the wound did not seem to be very dangerous. However, the blood kept flowing out.

The people around him began to advise him to seek medical help. but he kept standing there staring at me as if waiting for my answer.

I staggered back into my seat. Although my heart was beating rapidly, I felt a calm peace that I had never felt before.

When he could not hold on any longer and closed his eyes before me, I watched as the group of people around him rushed to hold him and carry him out of the room.

My face felt cold as the color drained from my face, while I gripped the edge of the table tightly. Who would have thought that the thoughtful "perfect date" would end in such chaos?

Nicholas, at the end of the day, you still failed to give me the perfect

date. Who was the real winner between us?

I didn't think the debts and scores between us could be calculated clearly anymore. Every time we spent time with each other, our souls and bodies would clash, releasing the feelings we had for each other through every nerve. I guessed he had done it all for Claudia.

I thought, "Nicholas, this would be the last time I soften my heart for your sake." Just as he passed by me, I smiled and said, "Fine. We're

She looked at me with red eyes as she said. "Ariana, Nick can't leave me, and I can't leave Nick.

I raised my eyebrow and propped my chin up with one hand. "But he wants you to leave."

She pursed her lips as tears fell down her face. She looked like a small doll who seemed to be in despair. "Nick will be taken away from us. Ariana, why don't we team up instead?"

As she spoke, she began to pick up the dagger on the floor. I lifted my hands and made a defensive gesture. In truth, I did not have the energy to speak to her, but seeing her with the dagger just felt dangerous.

"I'd advise you not to act recklessly. Your brother has just repaid your debts."

I said in my heart, "Claudia, please don't waste your brother's efforts.

I believed that the biggest difference between Claudia and I would be that I would be filled with guilt after hurting someone, but she would not.

tify her

On the other hand, she would somehow always manage to convince herself that she was the real victim. She could always actions in her own world. I couldn't do such a thing.

Claudia sneered. "I also don't want to do this, but all of you have forced my hand. If you promise to work with me, I won't harm you!"

She held the dagger tightly in her hands, wanting to threaten me into agreeing with her.

1 scoffed and found the situation slightly amusing. "You want me to work with you?"

Why did we need to work together? I rejected her and said, "That would not be possible."

I stood up and collected my things, while she slowly took two steps toward me.

She smiled softly before seemingly looking down in exasperation. and despair. However, the corner of her lips was still lifted into a small smile, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. The air around her felt ice-cold. "Then we're doomed. Nick will be snatched away from us. You're also doomed."

Suddenly, she pointed the dagger toward herself and stabbed herself in the arm. She didn't seem like she could feel the pain as she said, "Nick won't chase me away if I'm hurt!"
