Chapter 510: How can I help you

"I hope I didn’t miss the show" Gwen who barged inside the room, glanced at Karl who smiled at her extending his hand for her to come closer to him.

Following his actions, Karl wrapped his arm around her waist as soon as she sat next to him before they both turned to look at Ryan, who was now sweating profoundly.

"Hi" Gwen cheerfully greeted him but the man simply pulled out his handkerchief from his jeans pocket and wiped off the swat bead from his face.

Ryan had no way out of this situation he ended up trapped in, so he pushed away all the doubts and stuttered straight to the point.

"W-What do you want from me?" he asked looking at Karl who finally composed his expression from sweet to serious and stated, "Work for us, and I will spare your life" Ryan gulped at his threatening words.

Karl was direct with his words and he knew Ryan had no way but to accept his offer, so he continued.

"Don’t you want to avenge Linda for hiding the truth of your unborn child? Do you think it’s fair for her to use you and then throw you out of her life like a trash bag" Karl started reminding Ryan about Linda’s betrayal, sprinkling salt on his open fresh wound.\

He just had to keep adding fuel until he exploded and that was what happened when Ryan’s aura began to change. The terror in his eyes was now replaced with hatred as he looked up at him with determination.

Ryan had lost faith in Linda when he learned her real face. She used him all the time, making him believe in her love which wasn’t even true. A person who changes their feeling according to their convenience can only love themselves and no one else. And Linda was one of them.

She was only staying with him because of the child in her womb, but now that she got rid of it, she ended their relationship without thinking twice.

’If she didn’t care for him, then why should he keep thinking about their love when he knew she would never take him back’

After all these days Ryan came to learn that Linda would never accept him but that doesn’t mean he would let her live in peace. She used him and ruined his life by backstabbing him. He was struggling all by himself but he would drag her down by teaching her a lesson.

Taking a moment to sort his thoughts, Ryan took a deep breath and declared calmly. "Tell me, how can I help you" his eyes were empty but his words held sincerity that Karl couldn’t ignore.

Giving Gwen a side glance he opened up about his plan to Ryan without any hesitation.

[Wayne Mansion]

After having some fruits Alice decided to stroll around the vast garden inside the property. Anna remained seated on her chair and watched Alice take a walk around. She could see the glow on her face that remained her about the time when she was carrying Noah inside her stomach.

She too was young when she got married to Taylor and looking at Alice she could understand the struggle as a young couple they were going through.

Noah who had been carefree his whole life turned out to be a dotting husband to Alice. For her, he changed himself into a brand new person whom they could never imagine. But she was grateful that he finally realized what true love means and watching him love Alice unconditionally, Anna could finally be at ease.

Smiling, Anna looked away and resumed reading the magazine in her hand, letting Alice enjoy her free time.

Meanwhile, Alice kept walking around, observing the plants. The smell of the freshly bloomed flowers helped her relax. Standing before them, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Alice was busy enjoying her peaceful time when a noise snapped her out of her trance and she turned her head to the sound. Her brows creased watching the gardener who was digging mud. His actions were so rough that it surprised Alice to wonder how a gardener be this aggressive towards a mute living thing, but then she remembered the person assigned to look after the lawn was amateur and was still learning.

Unable to see the harshness, Alice quickly made her way towards the man and stood right behind him.

"Excuse me, can you please be a little gentle? You are hurting them" Alice kept her voice gentle and sincerely dictated to him.

Dylan stopped his movement. He had no idea Alice was inside the garden. If he had known, he would’ve been careful.

Tightening his grip around the shovel’s handle Dylan tried to disguise his voice. He knew Alice was too quick to acknowledge him and to be cautious around her, he had to impersonate his voice.

"Sorry Madame, I will be gentle," he said without looking back.

Alice watched the man from behind watching him lower his head apologetically. For a moment she felt a sense of familiarity coming from the gardener, but she quickly brushed it off and smiled politely before turning around and leaving.

Listening to her retreating footsteps, Dylan turned over and watched the heavily pregnant Alice walk away. He had the urge to go and touch her but he controlled himself.

Ever since he had seen Alice living a happy life with Noah, his termination to snatch their happiness enhanced even more. His taking everything from him, how could she live so peacefully while he suffered?

After stalking her all this time, Dylan developed an unhealthy obsession with Alice. He was surprised to see him crave for her, but then her pregnancy stood up like a hurdle. He thought after taking advantage of her, he would eliminate her, but now he had to kill another person in the process.

As he watched her take slow steps, an idea clicked in his mind and he called her, "Madame"

Alice stopped listening to his sudden call and turned around but failed to notice the wet grass she had just surpassed and tripped,

"Ah!" losing her balance, Alice was about to fall but Dylan quickly held her hand, stopping her from falling.

"Alice!"
