Chapter 341
Hearing this, everyone on the scene could no longer stay calm.
"I'm just here to attend a banquet. How could I be so unlucky to meet Mr. Sinclair's enemy? Where the hell is Mr. Sinclair? Did he know that someone was taking revenge on him and he hid?"
"Mr. Sinclair is so wicked! He tricked us into coming here, and he ran away! I even suspect that this is a conspiracy by him to kill us and make the Sinclair Group monopolize Goldenville!"
"You are really good at conspiracy theories. Don't forget the Collins family in Goldenville. No matter how powerful the Sinclair Group is, it cannot be compared with the Collins family!"
"Boo-hoo, I don't know anything. I just want to leave, but I don't want to die!"

Amid the scolding of Kenneth, someone suddenly raised his voice and said, "Stephen! You are Stephen Chavez!"
Stephen Chavez was the former CEO of the Chavez Group. Before it went bankrupt, the Chavez Group was one of the Eight Major Families in Goldenville. Later, when competing with Kenneth in business, Stephen made a wrong decision, which led to the collapse of the Chavez Group like a domino. Since then, the Chavez family had disappeared in Goldenville.
However, in Goldenville, people went bankrupt and made a comeback every day. At first, the collapse of the Chavez family was mentioned, but later few people remembered that there used to be such a family in Goldenville.
Stephen didn't expect that someone would recognize him. He sneered, "Yes, two years ago, Kenneth destroyed my family. Now he has become a new rich man in Goldenville. When my parents died, I couldn't even afford to buy a cemetery for them. So far, their ashes can only be kept at home. I must make Kenneth pay the price!"
Seeing his crazy look, everyone was shocked.
Someone tried to persuade Stephen, "Stephen, as you can see, Kenneth is not at the scene now. It's no use killing your hostage. Your deceased parents are pitiful. Isn't this innocent woman held by you pathetic? "Let her go first..."
Before he could finish her words, Stephen interrupted him coldly.
"Well, if I let her go, you will immediately ask the security guards to take me away. Do you think I am a fool?" said Stephen.
As soon as he finished, someone suddenly pointed at Angela who was standing by the door, and said, "Stephen, you got the wrong person. Although Kenneth is not here, his girlfriend is here. Even if you want to hold someone hostage, you should also hold his girlfriend hostage so that Kenneth may come out!" Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Angela, and most of them were filled with anger. After all, they just came to a banquet, but now they might risk their lives.
"Yes! You should catch her! I heard that Kenneth's deceased ex-wife was her elder sister, and now she hooked up with her brother-in-law. This kind of woman deserves to die!"
"I know she's not a good girl because of her coquettish clothes!"
"I also support catching her and threatening Kenneth!"
"Are you out of your mind? Aren't you afraid that Kenneth will come at you?"
"I'm in such danger now. Do I care whether he comes at me or not?"
Angela looked at these people coldly, especially the woman who wanted to hand her over. If she
remembered correctly, it was the youngest daughter of the Bolton family in Goldenville.
Angela was vindictive. She would not let go of anyone who plotted against her.
Angela didn't know whether she looked like that Ms. Lewis. Yet, given how these people looked, if she
refused to swap with that woman, they would not let her leave.
Angela smiled and said slowly, "Okay. I can swap with the woman on the stage, but I have one condition." "What is it?" asked someone.
"I want her to go with me," said Angela.
While talking, Angela pointed to Vanessa Bolton, the youngest daughter of the Bolton family.
Vanessa was stunned for a moment and then shouted angrily, "You are going to risk your neck. Why did you drag me along with you?"
Angela's smile turned cold. "So you also know that you are going to risk your neck?"
Vanessa was speechless.
She bit her lower lip. "This is your boyfriend's fault. Do you want us to die with you?"
Vanessa's words were recognized by many people, and they began to jump out to accuse Angela.
"Yeah, Kenneth spent a lot of dirty money on you! Now something has happened. Why should we be the scapegoats?"
"That's right. I think she is as heartless as Kenneth!"
"Hurry up and swap with that woman, or don't blame us for using other methods!"
The so-called other methods seemed to be forcibly catching her and sending her on the stage.
Angela raised her eyebrows and suddenly ran towards the balcony. When everyone reacted, she had already rushed to the window.
"If you don't agree, I will jump directly from here. You still have to die," shouted Angela.
After knowing what she wanted to do, everyone began to curse.
"You are so shameless! How dare you threaten us in this way!"
"How could there be such a vicious person? Why did she have to drag us down?"
"If I can leave alive, I will definitely expose this woman!"
Angela didn't change the emotion in her eyes when she heard others' curses. She just raised her eyebrows and said "Have you made up your mind? If you have made up your mind just tell me your decision. I'll give you three minutes. If you haven't made up your mind, I will jump directly."
Vanessa sneered, "Jennifer, you are really evil. But we will never be threatened by you. If you dare to jump, just do it!"
Angela smiled and turned around to jump out of the window.
Suddenly, something happened.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the chandelier above the banquet hall suddenly exploded, and then a strong smell of gunpowder filled the banquet hall.
"I'll see who dares to leave! If you jump, I'll detonate all the bombs right away!"
Stephen's voice was filled with craziness. If everyone had doubted whether he had installed the bomb before, they would have believed it now, and their faces were all pale with fear.
Angela smiled, "Anyway, I will die if I don't jump or not. Why do I have to go on the stage? If Ms. Bolton doesn't go on the stage with me, I won't be there."
There was no nervousness in
Angela's eyes. She even calmly requested Vanessa to go on the stage with her. At the sight of this Vanessa was so angry that she
couldn't wait to go up and tear
Angela's mouth.
However, everyone was selfish and didn't dare to gamble with their own lives. The people who had just taken Vanessa's side began to persuade her.
"Ms. Bolton, why don't you go on the stage with her? When Mr. Sinclair comes over later, we will ask Stephen to let you go first!""
"That's right. If it goes on like this, all of us may die here."
"Anyway, you said she was Kenneth's girlfriend in the beginning. That was why we asked her to swap with the person on the stage. You also have ill intentions!"
Vanessa was hopping mad. She gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I won't be a hostage!"
A trace of sarcasm flashed in Angela's eyes. "Ms. Bolton, I didn't know that you cherished your life so much. But why don't you cherish others' lives?"
Vanessa gritted her teeth and looked at Angela. "Shame on you! This is all because of your boyfriend. Who will solve it if you don't?"
"In that case, if your father breaks the law, shouldn't you go to jail with him?"
