Unrepairable Love
Chapter 341
Elijah crossed his arms, giving Alexander and Elizabeth a once-over. He pouted, “You two are divorced, but anyone who didn’t know would think you’re still head over heels!”
“What love? Can’t you see how much I can’t stand him?” Elizabeth snapped back.
Elijah shook his head. “You don’t need him because you’re scared he’ll get caught up in this mess, right? You’re afraid he’ll get hurt because you care about him. You love him, don’t you?”
Elizabeth spat at Elijah, “Typical guy. So full of himself!”
Elijah was stunned for a second, then brushed off his clothes. “Did I get it wrong?” He couldn’t believe he was wrong. Elizabeth’s actions screamed she was worried about Alexander getting involved.
Elizabeth looked at Alexander, her eyes red, and shouted, “It was the Russell family! It was Esme. She tried to have me killed multiple times. And Alexander, you let it happen!”
If Alexander hadn’t let Esme get away with it, how could she have kept trying to hurt Elizabeth?
“Elizabeth, this has nothing to do with Esme,” Alexander said, his throat tight. Nolan had checked it out; it wasn’t Esme’s doing.
Elizabeth felt a sharp pain in her heart hearing that. She let out a cold laugh, her hair blowing in the wind. “You’re still backing Esme just because you love her? Even if she offed me one day, would that fly with you?”
Alexander choked up.
Elijah blinked and muttered, “This is getting juicy!”
“I’ll take her place. Let her go,” Alexander stepped forward.
“But Ms. Percy doesn’t seem to need that,” Elijah cut in. “She would rather die than call you,” Elijah smiled, waving the knife and sighing, “Alexander, you don’t love Ms. Percy anyway. Why not let her die right in front of you?”
Alexander’s eyes darkened, and he shouted, “What are you talking about!”
“Ms. Percy, if you die in front of him, maybe he’ll remember you forever and feel guilty forever too!” Elijah’s lips curled into a grin.
Elizabeth said nothing, just stared at the bricks below the tall building. Elijah’s knife cut the bell. The bell hit the ground with a crisp sound. At that moment, the cops showed up. The colorful scene below made Elizabeth’s head spin. Elizabeth had her back to Alexander; she couldn’t see his face but heard him shout, “No!”
Alexander’s voice was loud, almost tearing at his throat.
“No? You don’t love her, so why do you care so much? I think she needs to die!” Elijah’s voice grew more manic, each word like a knife stabbing into Elizabeth’s heart.
Alexander took a big step forward, and just as Elijah’s knife was about to cut the rope, he kicked Elijah’s arm. Elijah’s arm lifted, his hand loosened, and the knife fell to the ground. Elizabeth heard the sound and immediately looked over. She saw Elijah and Alexander wrestling. Isaac, seeing this, hurried over to help.
“Pick up the knife for me!” Elijah roared, “Stab him. If we get caught today, no one will have a good time and everyone must die! We’re here to do a job, and we have to do it right!”
Alexander fought against four people. Although they weren’t strong individually, they had numbers. As Alexander struggled with them, his white shirt gradually stained with blood. Sweat from his forehead soaked his hair, and he repeatedly glanced at Elizabeth, as if telling her not to be afraid.
Elizabeth watched Alexander, her heart pounding. It felt like she was back in high school. Alexander had been beaten bloody back then, protecting her and leading her out of danger. This was the kind of Alexander who would save her in times of danger and always had his eyes on her. Yet he had never loved her. How ironic.
Elijah picked up the knife again. Alexander took two steps back, ending up beside Elizabeth. Elijah approached, laughing maniacally. “Perfect, you two could die together!”
Footsteps were clearly coming up the stairs. They didn’t have much time left and didn’t plan to waste any more words with Alexander. Elijah raised the knife and cut the rope!
