Chapter 555: Chapter 555 He Wants to Live

What Yvette had said was right.

He was full of his own concerns. Only when he could get a return would he pay out.

Besides, the return had to be satisfactory.

Obviously, that was not the case. Since there wasn’t an equilibrium between the give and the take, he wisely knew what he should do.

With half of his face hidden in the dark, Charlie remained silent for a long time before he said, "Yvette, I hope you are alive. That is true."

After that, he turned around without any hesitation.

It was similar to when he turned around to leave his mad mother, who was dying.

Was he as calm as he looked?

The answer was definitely not.

Even so, he wouldn’t show any inner weakness. He forced himself to be indifferent. This was the difference between him and others.

However, he did not realize that a drop of cold tears fell on the carpet without making a sound.

After sorting out her mood, Yvette was even more certain of what she was going to do.

Her outstretched hand was no longer trembling. Instead, it was placed accurately on the yellow string.

......

In the hall.

Juliette’s wedding dress was badly stained, and her exquisite hair ornaments were gone. She looked ugly as her heavy makeup was off.

Even though she tried to look attractive all the time, she paid little attention to her current appearance.

Since she was no longer afraid of Rod hurting her, she put on a face full of pride.

Lance glared at her and was eager to tear her apart. However, she looked back without fear.

"Lance, are you very worried now?"

Juliette raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is Rod going to do after catching her?"

She covered her lips and pretended to care about Yvette. She exclaimed, "What if Rod cut her belly open and took out your child?"

"Shut up!"

Lance shot daggers at Juliette and was desperate to kill her.

Juliette patted her chest and pretended to be afraid, saying, "Don’t look at me like that.

"It’s scary, but..."

She curled her lips and continued, "So what? Can you escape from Rod?"

Juliette spoke in a good mood and didn’t care if Lance replied to her or not.

"Lance, you deserve it. You used me to protect the woman you love. Have you ever felt guilty?"

Lance gave a mocking smile. "You stop at no evil. How would I feel guilty about people like you?"

With his eyes full of disgust, he added, "You will pay for what you have done soon."

Being scolded like this, Juliette changed her expression immediately. "It was all your fault. What Yvette suffered was all because of you. Don’t you understand?

"Isn’t it good advice to ask Rod to take her child out?"

Lance replied flatly, "Then, you can experience it yourself soon."

Juliette shivered in fear and then shouted crazily, "Stop talking nonsense! Don’t put on airs anymore. Well, you probably want to die with her, don’t you? Maybe you can continue to be a couple."

Juliette didn’t hope to gain Lance’s heart anymore.

Since he had known her true colors, he would never fall in love with her unless he lost all his memories.

Juliette had given Lance up.

She didn’t want to pretend anymore and directly exposed her nature.

"Lance, do you think you can be with Yvette after you die? No way! I will split you up even if both of you two are dead."

The extreme hatred and resentment had already made Juliette unrecognizable.

She hated Lance so much that she looked ferocious. She shouted in excitement, "Listen, I will make you wish you died. I won’t let you die easily. There are many secret medicines in Iceland. They can disable your limbs while keeping you awake for a long time. You will end up being a terrifying monster. You will lose everything that makes people envious, your pride, talent, and status. You will become a useless person and a cripple."

As Juliette spoke, a ghostly smile appeared on her face. She said, "Lance, you will regret annoying me by then."

She stared at Lance and gritted her teeth as if going insane. She said, "Listen, I don’t allow anyone I like to be with others. I’d rather destroy them."

"Bang!"

All of a sudden, a tray flew over her.

"Ah!"

After a short pause, Juliette covered her head and let out an extremely miserable scream.

The blood on the right side of her head flowed down.

She didn’t even see clearly where Lance got the tray and how he smashed her.

Weren’t his hands tied?

What happened?

Juliette watched Lance stand up and walk towards her with her eyes widened in shock.

When did Lance break free?

Juliette had no time to think about the question. She found Lance even scarier than Rod’s subordinates.

It seemed that he would tear her apart soon.

"Help!"

Juliette had no way but to ask for help from Rod’s subordinates. However, one of the guards had just gone out.

After confirming that Lance was firmly tied, the other guard hurriedly went to the bathroom.

Therefore, no matter how loudly Juliette shouted, no one came to save her.

"Help..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a sharp pain hit her.

Lance put all his strength to step on her remaining hand.

"Hiss..."

Juliette was in so much pain that her tears streamed down her face. "Lance, how dare you! Let me off! Otherwise, Rod will kill you!"

She had terrible pain and was incoherent.

What kept her awake was that she knew Rod would definitely not let Lance off if the latter tried to escape.

"Give me your medicine," Lance said coldly, holding a broken table leg he had just gotten to help himself stand.

"What did you say? I don’t understand your words."

"You’d better not play the fool."

Lance’s face was pale. He was about to run out of patience and looked extremely indifferent.

"I don’t know what you are talking about. I was lying to you. There are no secret medicines." Juliette played dumb.

Lance’s lips twitched slightly. He lifted his heel and stamped on Juliette’s hand hard with his tiptoes again.

"Ah!"

The piercing pain caused Juliette to let out a heart wrenching roar.

Lance asked again, "Have you changed your mind? Do you have the medicine now?"

Juliette gasped in pain as she took out a small glass bottle and threw it on the ground.

There were two small blue pills inside. Lance checked the wax seal on the top. It was indeed from Iceland.

The wax seal was made of a special kind of herb. It would be invalid after being torn apart and could not be replicated.

Juliette collapsed to the ground. Her face was ashen with pain.

"Do you really want to eat it? Didn’t you know the consequences of having it?"

"I know."

A faint smile appeared on his face when Lance said, "I don’t care what I will become after having the medicine. I’m willing to sacrifice myself as long as I can stay with her for a longer time."

He had made up his mind after he found out that Yvette was pregnant again and wanted to give birth to his child.

His desire to survive was so strong for the first time.

He wanted to live. He wanted to be with her when she gave birth.

He regretted leaving Yvette alone when Isabel was born.

He didn’t want to have the same regret anymore. He couldn’t die before the baby was born.

He put the glass bottle into his pocket. Just then, there came a sound at the door.

"Help..."

Juliette was about to shout for help, but Lance took the opportunity and stuffed a piece of tissue into her mouth.

"Woo..."

The one who came in was the guard from Shadow Army. He had gone to the bathroom. As soon as he stepped in, he noticed the scene was a mess and rushed over.

"Where is the man?" He questioned Juliette, whose head was covered in blood.

"Woo..."

Juliette could hardly remain calm. What a fool the guard was! She tried hard to remind him to take the tissue in her mouth away.

Finally, he noticed it and quickly reached out to pull the tissue off. Then, he hurriedly asked, "Where is he? Where is the man?"

"He is..."

A huge bang sounded before Juliette told the guard that Lance was behind him.

Lance raised the table leg in his hand and beat the back of the man’s neck. The guard from Juliette passed out before he could turn around.

Juliette was so angry that she shouted through her gritted teeth, "You idiot! I have never seen a stupid person like you before."

Lance ignored her. He squatted down and used his palm as a knife to slash at the back of the guard’s neck hard.

It was an important body part. Lance was sure that the guard would not be able to wake up within three hours.

Then, he picked up the table leg again. Using it as a stick, he walked with great difficulty with his severely injured left leg.

He dragged the guard to the side.

After he finished working, his forehead was covered with sweat. He opened his thin lips slightly, gasping for breath.

It was something that he could do easily in the past. He had never thought that it would be this difficult for him now.

His left knee bone had been completely shattered. As long as he walked, his left leg would hurt.

It would make the injury on his knee even more serious, but he had no other choice.

He had surrendered just now because he knew that there were still service staff in the northern building who had yet to evacuate.

In order not to offend Rod, who was indeed a madman, he could only stop resisting. Otherwise, Rod would randomly detonate a window and harm innocent people.

As one of Rod’s mistresses died in New York, he would definitely come over and take his revenge.

That was why Lance made himself the suspect of killing Rod’s mistress on purpose in advance. He took it as an opportunity to handle Rod.

Rod walked into Lance’s trap.

However, Lance didn’t expect Rod to acquire explosives in a place with strict laws like New York.

Clearly, he was much more powerful and influential than Lance had thought.

Lance was determined to handle him.

Although Yvette had sent him a signal of safety, Lance was unable to feel relieved. He wanted to see her as soon as possible.

Lance tore off a strip of cloth and found a board to make a simple bracket and tie it to his leg.

Juliette lay on the ground and trembled with fear. Just then, Rod’s exasperated voice was heard from the walkie-talkie.

"Watch that woman carefully. I’m gonna cut her mouth."

Rod cut off the walkie-talkie before others replied to him.

Juliette’s mind went blank.

What?

How could Rod not catch Yvette? Where did she go?

She watched others lock Yvette inside. Did Yvette run out?

Lance walked closer to Juliette. He had wanted to knock her out and handed her to the Secret Service agents.

However, he stopped after hearing Rod’s words.

Juliette heard Rod’s words as well. Her face became taut and pale instantly.

She had heard a lot about Rod. It was said that he was so crazy that he even killed his mother.

He had fun studying how to torture others in his house. There were rumors that he had developed lots of tools to do so.

He was indeed a madman. He was out of control and would do whatever he wanted.

All in all, he wouldn’t let anyone who offended him off easily. He would make them wish they died.

She had to leave here.

"Lance, save me! I was wrong. You can put me in prison. I will confess everything that I have done to the police..."

Juliette knelt on the ground. Since her feet were bound by Lance’s iron chains, she could not break free.

She’d rather go with Lance than face Rod. She used to be afraid of Lance as well. After all, he was about to die. With his hatred for her, he would kill her directly.

However, Lance had known about Yvette’s pregnancy. If he wanted to see Yvette, he definitely would not dare to do anything illegal.

The most urgent thing for her was to ask Lance to take her away. Even though he handed her over to the police, she could have a way to get away.

She could do everything he ordered as long as he didn’t leave her here.

She cried loudly, "Lance, don’t leave me to Rod. Please take me away. I beg you."

Lance showed no mercy to her at all.

Juliette was cunning. Even though she was put into prison, she resorted to every trick to get away.

That was why Lance exploited Rod to cope with her.

Lance did not say a word. He took a step back in disgust as Juliette reached out her hand to him.

"Juliette, it’s time for you to pay. You deserve it."

When Lance walked to the door, he turned around and looked at her. He said sincerely, "To be honest, I hope you can flee from Rod."

If Juliette escaped this time, she would be hunted down by the whole Charles family. Few people could come to a good end.

That was more in line with the punishment Lance hoped Juliette would get.

Even though the door behind him was closed, female heart-wrenching cries could still be heard. Juliette did not know what she would suffer.

Tentacles of fear closed around her body. She felt as if she was surrounded by snakes.

"Lance, you bastard! I hate you! You and Yvette will die miserably!"

Juliette’s vicious and sinister curse came from inside the door.

Lance remained calm. He would never give her another chance to hurt others.

She had to face punishment.

Juliette lay on the ground, crying out of breath.

Just then, there came strange footsteps.

Juliette raised her head and saw Rod’s delicate face. Just as she was about to explain, a cold light flashed.

"Rip..."
