All Her Secrets

Chapter 763 Sacrifice

As Jotham aimed his weapon in Zobber’s direction and was ready to pull the trigger, a blur shot past him. Instinctively, he let go and dodged.

Before Jotham set foot on Florona, he had once been a reigning force and treaded a dark path. He was fierce in combat, every move lethal.

After the blur passed, Jotham regained composure and faced the situation calmly. But Branden’s prowess was overwhelming. Despite Jotham’s experience, he was no match.

After a few exchanges, Jotham found himself overpowered by Branden, who had a firm grip on his throat. A little more pressure, and Jotham would be meeting his maker.

Jotham was defeated, and his crew fell incapacitated by the combined force of Catherine and Zobber. All of them fell to the ground.

Branden exerted a bit more force, and it caused even a tough man like Jotham to wince in pain. Enduring the agony, Jotham glared back at Branden. “Your grandfather took me down back then, and today, it’s your turn. I thought the Duncans with your good-for-nothing dad would eventually fall. I didn’t expect you to be quite impressive. Come on. Enough talk. Let’s finish this.

After saying that, Jotham closed his eyes and was prepared for Branden to end it. The winner took all. That was the rule he knew in this life. Since he confronted Branden and lost, he had to accept it.

Seeing Branden subdue Jotham, Regan breathed a sigh of relief. But when Jotham conceded, and Branden prepared to strike, her heart raced up.

Her relationship with Jotham all these years was genuine. She knew Jotham’s feelings for her very well. She was grateful to have encountered Jotham again. Without him, she might not have been in this world.

Years ago, during her husband’s infidelity, Regan had spiraled into severe mental distress and contemplated ending it all. Then Jotham received word and returned. He proposed taking her away from Casier to Florona, where no one could find them, under the condition of never leaving. Without a second thought, Regan agreed, and Jotham abandoned his career to be with her.
