Chapter 139 The Ultimatum
Kevin was incapable of screaming for help. Darkness began to close in on him. The only thing he felt was how strong Donald’s grip was.
He was certain that the latter was able to break his neck easily.
“Ah! Donald, what are you doing?” All of a sudden, a scream could be heard behind them.
Jennifer, who had just gotten down from her car, witnessed the scene.
She saw the murderous rage in Donald’s eyes and Kevin’s pale face. His lips had turned purple, and he would die in another minute.
Obviously, she knew Donald was determined to kill Kevin.
“Are you crazy, Donald? Put him down! Put him down now!” Jennifer shrieked and hurried over. She grabbed Donald’s arm and kept hitting it.
He did not budge.
It became harder for Kevin to breathe.
Tears were streaming down Jennifer’s cheeks. Then, she bit Donald’s arm.
Donald removed the invisible shield covering his skin emotionlessly, allowing the bite to sink into his flesh. A bite mark formed on his wrist, and fresh blood began to seep out of the wound.
He loosened his grip, lowered his head, and regarded Jennifer silently.
In return, she shot him a look of sorrow and fury.
Her gaze began to harden, too.
After that, Jennifer ran over to help Kevin up. “Are you all right, Kev?”
Kevin was coughing. Then, he lay down on the ground and laughed hysterically. “See, my dear sister? Donald wants to kill me! The man whom you pine for wants to kill me! Your beloved ex wants to kill me!”
Finally, he sat up without warning and grabbed Jennifer’s frail shoulders, giving her a good shake. “Stay away from him! Do you hear me?”
She noticed the fingermarks on Kevin’s neck and touched them gently. Following that, she started to cry and looked at Donald. “How could you do that?”
Donald did not answer her. Using a silk handkerchief, he wiped away the blood on his wrist gently.
The beaded bracelet was also stained with blood.
Jennifer was sobbing.
Suddenly, Kevin raised her wrist. There was a dark green bracelet on it. Donald gave her the bracelet as an engagement gift.
There was supposed to be a pair of Phoenix Bracelets. Donald wanted to give the other one to her on their wedding night, but his intention never came to fruition.
The bracelets were left for him by his mother.
“Take it off!” Kevin ordered sternly.
Jennifer was taken aback.
“Do you choose me or him?” Kevin laughed maniacally. “If you choose me, then take it off!”
Donald did not intervene. He wanted to know Jennifer’s decision.
“If you choose him, we’ll sever all ties from now on! My business is none of yours! If you choose me, take it off at once! Right now!” Kevin repeated.
Jennifer hesitated for a while. Then, she slowly removed the dark green bracelet from her wrist. She intended to return it to Donald.
Nevertheless, Kevin snatched it from her and threw it on the ground.
Smash!
A loud smash could be heard, and the beautiful bracelet broke into several pieces.
“From now on, both of you will have nothing to do with each other.” Kevin chuckled smugly.
Jennifer was astonished. She stared at the broken bracelet on the ground as the tears fell soundlessly.
She involuntarily stole a glance at Donald.
There were simply no words to describe his expression, or rather, the lack of an expression.
Donald seemed as emotionless as a statue. Yet, through his eyes, she could see the storm raging within him.
“Very well, Jennifer.” After some time, Donald finally spoke. He was staring at the pieces of the bracelet.
Regret began to creep up on Jennifer, and she looked anxious.
