I don't want to get into an argument now. I'm too scared to be so close to an abyss that my limbs are all freezing. Besides, I don't want to lower myself to the level of sabotaging another just to survive, though she might deserve it.

"Did you know all these?" Liam Ryan turns to me with a cruel smile.

He is standing between Ava and me, his back facing the abyss. Just one stumble could lead to his definite death. And Sebastian is obviously thinking the same because Liam Ryan laughs coldly at Sebastian: "Any funny movement from you, or any bullets from anywhere, I Dead silence.

And the next second Sebastian taps on his ear as he tells Liam Ryan: "They won't come close. Don't do anything reckless."

"Ohh, I'm not reckless, I know what I'm doing," Liam Ryan smirks evilly, "Sebastian Knight, do you? Do you know where your heart lies?"

If he dared to say my name, I'm going to fucking haunt him when I turned into a ghost!

"Why do you hate me so much?" Sebastian walks up one step, stopping strategically, "I didn't even know your daughter-"

"You protected him! You allowed your stupid fucking Z house to cyberbully my daughter! You didn't fucking care and you played with other people's life! Do I need

to go on?! You are like the drug lord, hiding behind the curtain with your men doing all the dirty work, and that's why I'm here! I'm extending the justice where the law fails to do so!"

Sebastian nods slowly: "Glad you feel that way, because your complaints is solvable. Here is my offer, Z house, market value of 90 billion with a revenue of 5 billion, per year. It's yours if you walk away from this today. What do you say?"

All the dazzling numbers did on Liam Ryan was making him angrier: "You think I did this for money?! My wife died giving me my lovely daughter, and you took her life. before you ruined her name! You think money can make up for any of that?!" 075 The Moment Of Truth

"Yes, I do," Sebastian says with a firm tone, and my heart almost jumps to when Liam Ryan's hand on my chair tightens at the rush of fury.

I would, too, if I were him.

my throat

Sebastian continues with a hastier tone: "You think I allowed the internet to ruin her

name, and you think I did so with money, didn't you? Now I'm giving you both: money, and the powerful media that can get your voice heard. Take the company, and you can turn the story however you want. At least that cleans your daughter's name, doesn't it?" This time Liam Ryan is lured. But only for one second.

"No..." The psycho shakes his head, "No! That's not what I want! I wanted only for the truth to be heard! And none of you assholes cared about what my little sparrow had to say before you cornered her to her death!"

"But that wasn't my doing, was it?" Sebastian keeps on, "Your daughter was devastated because Justin married Annie. Would it make you feel better if I asked him to get a divorce?"

"Too late!" Liam Ryan growls like a bear, "Why didn't he listen when Sparrow tried to tell him the truth?! The one thing I regret was to allow her to become friends with that blind little bastard!"

"You-what?!" Sebastian frowns, for the first time tonight surprised, "Your daughter was the one companying him during that year?"

"You'd know way before today if you really care about the truth!"

Sebastian's eyes dart to me so fast that it makes me flinch. I freeze with my mouth open - Did he realize his mistake about Ava?

"I checked the guest list, and I want to talk to you about it...after this." Sebastian suddenly blurts at me out of nowhere, and I really want to roll my eyes. Seriously? That's the "truth" he found out? Good detective work. Don't try it again. You are not cut out for it. "Stop with the nonsense! I can't go after that boy, and I don't fucking care anymore! Someone has to pay and I chose you!" Liam Ryan lost his patience, "Your mistress in white, or your wife in red. Sebastian Knight, who is the one you love?!" Sebastian's eyes dart to me.

I knew he would choose to sacrifice me, but when he really did, it still hurt as if an icicle penetrated my chest. "Sebastian Knight!" Liam Ryan pulls Ava's head backward, exposing her throat to his knife, "Do you love her?!" With a cold voice, Sebastian answers in a firm tone without even any hesitation: "No, I don't."
