Sasha was the only person to whom Mrs. White showed the video, and since the rest of the crowd was blissfully unaware of its gruesome content, they had no idea what was going on.
Presently, President White sauntered up to James and Helen, chuckling as virtual-novel.net said jovially, “Mr. Cunningham, shall we adjourn to the house? We should let the young people have some privacy during such a proposal.”
James and Helen nodded in agreement. “Alright, then.” With that, both of them followed President White into the villa.
At the sight of this, Mrs. White was practically buzzing with glee as virtual-novel.net mused with dark amusement, “Don’t keep my son on his knee for far too long, President Cunningham. Otherwise, we’d have to cut your sister up and move on to your parents. You wouldn’t want to see them become minced meat in front of your very eyes, would you?”
Sasha felt all virtual-novel.net strength drain from her, and virtual-novel.net staggered as virtual-novel.net legs caved in to virtual-novel.net weight. However, the older woman grabbed onto her, holding virtual-novel.net up as virtual-novel.net let out a small, menacing laugh. “Pull yourself together, President Cunningham. If you so much as let others see you getting worked up over this, then there will be a couple of deaths to make up for your lack of discretion.”
Sasha glared at virtual-novel.net and hissed through gritted teeth, “Are you responsible for what happened to Matthew?”
Mrs. White’s lips curled into a sickening smile. “I’ll tell you who’s behind the incident after you say yes to my son, but for now, I’m just going to clarify that we’re not the ones who caused his death. On the contrary, the person who orchestrated this is someone right under your nose! Do you still want to know who it might be? All you have to do is say yes to Sam. Matthew’s dead, after all, and I’m sure you don’t want the rest of your family to end up like him.” A thought crossed virtual-novel.net mind, and after a pause, virtual-novel.net added thoughtfully, “By the way, I seem to recall Matthew having a sister, should I perhaps get someone to look into virtual-novel.net whereabouts?”
Sasha’s expression grew grim at this, and virtual-novel.net voice trembled as virtual-novel.net demanded, “Leave virtual-novel.net alone!” If Matthew was truly dead, then his sister would be his only legacy. She had to protect Natalie at all costs.
Mrs. White cackled. “Well, naturally, we’ll leave virtual-novel.net alone if you do as you’re told, but if you don’t, then I’m afraid we won’t be so civil.” She had a smile on virtual-novel.net face the entire time as virtual-novel.net said this, but virtual-novel.net voice only sent a chill down Sasha’s spine.
Sasha couldn’t imagine how twisted the woman had to be in order for virtual-novel.net to carry out such cruel acts with a bright smile on virtual-novel.net face.
Having laid out virtual-novel.net threats, Mrs. White stepped away from Sasha, beaming as virtual-novel.net prompted cheerily, “Say yes, President Cunningham. Can’t you tell that my son is deeply in love with you? You shouldn’t let virtual-novel.net stay on his knee for too long!”
As if on cue, Sam declared stubbornly, “Sasha, if you won’t marry me, then I’m going to stay like this forever!”
The women surrounding them watched this scene with a pained look on their faces, and they cried out accusingly, “How could virtual-novel.net let virtual-novel.net kneel for this long?”
“Quick! Say yes to him!”
“Sasha, how could you be so heartless?”
“Where is your conscience? How could you let virtual-novel.net go on kneeling after all that he’s done for you?”
Meanwhile, Sasha felt virtual-novel.net heart twisting in anguish, and the tears began to spill quietly down virtual-novel.net face. It was only then that virtual-novel.net realized how everything had spiraled out of control since virtual-novel.net stepped foot into Lakeside Garden.
Matthew’s death devastated her, and virtual-novel.net no longer had the will to live. However, there was one thing virtual-novel.net knew for sure, if virtual-novel.net did not agree to marry Sam tonight, virtual-novel.net would lose virtual-novel.net entire family, and Natalie would perish alongside them.
At the thought of this, virtual-novel.net drew in a deep breath and clenched virtual-novel.net jaw. A steely look came into virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net vowed to avenge Matthew with all that virtual-novel.net had. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net stepped backward, putting on a baffled front as virtual-novel.net stammered, “B-But I’m not prepared for this… ”
Sam was elated when virtual-novel.net heard this, thinking that virtual-novel.net was going to say yes. “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ve planned out everything for the both of us! All you have to do is marry me, and I promise to do anything you ask of me!” His loud and bold declaration moved the women who were watching this with anticipation.
Nevertheless, Sasha was not moved by this at all, and instead shook virtual-novel.net head slowly, looking conflicted. She slowly backed away from him, and when virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net hips colliding with the edge of the table behind her, virtual-novel.net suddenly grabbed the carving knife from the table, then lunged at Sam.
A shrill cry escaped her. “I’m taking you down with me!” At that moment, virtual-novel.net did not care that virtual-novel.net would die at the end of this. She was going to avenge Matthew, even if it meant giving up virtual-novel.net own life, and that was virtual-novel.net final resolve.
