CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781 Sacrifice Yourself

Those who saw the signal understood the meaning.

Stanley began to advance quietly toward Shane. Using Shane's body as a cover, he suddenly pulled out a small flashlight and shone it toward the forest in the near distance.

In order not to let Sean discover him, he merely shone once and hurriedly turned it off.

But he believed the snipers hiding in the forest would have seen his location and quickly set up their rifles.

What they need to do now, was to buy some time.

“Ahem.” After completing his task, Stanley pretended to feel unwell and started coughing.

When Shane heard that, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his waving hand.

“You asked me to have them put down their guns, and I've done as you asked. Now tell me, what more do you want before you're willing to release my wife?” Shane glanced at Natalie before switching his gaze to Sean.

Sean shot a glance to the only man behind him.

The man looked at him, then nodded, pulling a gun from his pocket.

Upon seeing the gun, Shane's men almost wanted to draw their guns again.

Shane reacted quickly and gestured for them to put away their guns.

“Catch!” The man holding the gun shouted at Shane and suddenly threw the gun toward him.

Shane instinctively caught it. “What're you trying to do?”

“The idea is simple; our duel is a matter of life and death. I know I won't survive today, but at the same time, I'm not willing to die alone. So, I want you to accompany me. If you kill yourself, I will spare Natalie's life. How about that?” Sean said with a sinister smile.

Everyone's expression changed when they heard Sean's proposal.

Clearly, no one expected Sean's real intention was to force Shane into a corner.

For a moment, everyone turned to look at Shane, eager to know his answer.

Shane remained silent. He looked at Natalie while holding the gun.

Natalie's eyes reddened and filled with tears. She shook her head incessantly. “Shane, you absolutely can't agree to this. No matter what, you can't. Do you hear me? If you do, I will hate you!”

She would not let Shane trade his life for hers.

Even if she managed to survive, she would not have the will to live.

Thinking about that, an emotionally charged Natalie yelled at Sean, “Don't think about using me to threaten him. I'm telling you, your plan won't succeed. I'd rather die than let him sacrifice.”

After which she shouted at Shane, “Shane, did you hear me? You cannot agree to his madness. This is my stance, so don't care about me and shoot him. Did you hear me? Shoot him!”

“Shut up!” Shane growled at her angrily. “I won't fire the gun. I came here to rescue you. If I failed and killed you instead, do you still think I'm a man?”

Natalie's lips parted slightly, but she said nothing. Instead, large teardrops began to roll down her face.

Sean looked at them. “So Shane, you're not willing to take your life, huh?”

Right then, he turned to look at Natalie. “Nat, did you see that? This man constantly professes his love for you, but in the end, he's not even willing to die for you. Does he truly love you?”

“Shut your mouth.” Natalie roared in despair, “Shane loves me. It's me who doesn't allow him to do so. You've no right to question our feelings for each other.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Am I questioning, or am I telling the truth?” Sean scoffed, then turned to Shane again. “Shane, I'll ask you one more time. Are you going to pull the trigger or not? If you don't, don't blame me for firing it. After all, I'm not going to survive. It'll be a good idea to take Nat together with me. You know, I love her too. Maybe we can be together in the netherworld.”
