A Lifetime With You

Chapter 44

“Yea, working partner. I’ll pretend to marry you and deter your parents from forcing you to find a wife, while you keep me from those playboys. We have been cooperating so well all along.” Selina kept an amiable smile plastered on her face the whole time. Since there were countless business cooperations between the Newton family and the Radbury family, so both their parents had intended to bring them together all along. However, Damien had always treated Selina with nothing but formal respect. Soon, Selina had grown tired of this collaborative game. “Damien, I have mulled over your mother’s suggestion and I think that we can take a step further in our relationship.”

She smiled and took a step closer to him.

The stalemate at the underground community parking lot continued. Jessica shrieked, “No! Ava, don’t do stupid things! She won’t let me go even if you stab yourself!”

Ava had already picked up the knife.

Then, she lightly pressed in on her slightly bulging belly. She wouldn’t hesitate at all if she had to exchange her life for her mother’s safety. But, her life didn’t belong to just her at the time being. How could she jeopardize her baby’s life? No… no way… Jessica was crying buckets in front of her. After a short while, she closed her eyes as she grabbed the knife even more tightly than before. “Beth, you have to know that I owe you nothing. Even if I die, the Nagel family will still have to pay for whatever you guys have owed my mum and me.” then, she hesitated and raised the knife. Beth smiled grimly and couldn’t wait to see as the knife pierced into Ava’s body. Suddenly, Ava opened her eyes as there was a sharp glint in her eyes.

Beth was taken aback. In a split second, she saw that the knife had left Ava’s hand and was coming straight towards her. How could Ava be so brave to throw the knife at her! So, Beth quickly lowered her head to avoid it. Jessica could still move her legs even though her hands were tied, so she grabbed the opportunity to kick Beth’s knee hard.

Then, Beth screamed in pain and bent down.

That knife wasn’t thrown accurately and it hit the car beside them. Then, it fell and clanked on the ground.

Jessica kicked the knife away and escaped from Beth.

“B*tch!”

Beth cursed and chased after Ava.
