SWNOVELS Chapter 662
When the gunshot sounded, Lucas’ mind went blank and he could not think further. He even closed his eyes and waited for death in despair. In fact, he had no time to despair because he did not expect that Christopher would fire a shot at that point in time.
Click! It was the sound of the spring within the gun hitting the air: no shots were fired. Surprised, Lucas lifted his head and met Christopher’s mischievous gaze. Fuming, he shouted, “What the hell? What are you thinking! Are you making a fool of me?”
“I’m sorry for scaring you. I was just joking.” Christopher narrowed his eyes as he casually dismantled the gun.
“To hell with you!” Lucas collapsed onto the chair and started panting heavily. His forehead was breaking out in a cold sweat and he was drenched in sweat. After all, when faced with death, no one could accept it so naturally. One would definitely be terrified, and Lucas was no exception.
Christopher soon finished dismantling his gun. He gently turned the cylinder and took out the three remaining bullets. Lucas’ eyes widened at that. So the gun has bullets in it!
“Christopher, what were you trying to do? Had you made a mistake just now, I would have died!” With that, Lucas raised his hand and gave Christopher a punch on the chin. However, Christopher managed to block the attack with his backhand. Once he was done reloading the gun, Christopher immediately aimed it at Lucas again.
“What I did just now was only a test. I guarantee that if I am to pull the trigger this time, you can bid the world goodbye. Although you’ve been weak since young, I believe that you still wouldn’t want to die at a young age. What do you say?” Christopher flashed a sinister smile that made him look no different from a devil.
Lucas’ face went pale by a few more shades. The moment he felt that Christopher was serious, he gulped to calm himself down and asked, “What are you trying to do? Let me know what you are planning. If you’re testing me, you’ve done it just now.”
“It’s simple. I want to know everything.” Christopher straightened his body and continued, “You should know that I hate being set up, especially if someone set me up using Yvonne. You’ve struck my raw nerve. Therefore, do you think I should open up a hole in your body to warn you about what you can use in your schemes and what you can’t touch?”
Lucas had calmed himself down by now. He stared at Christopher for a long while before bursting out into laughter. “You’re indeed Christopher Lane. When I was deciding whether to go ahead with this plan, I was worried about whether I could actually set you up. I only took this step after noting your concern for Yvonne. But I’ve never imagined that you would find out about it. What do you want to know? I’ll definitely answer all your burning questions.”
“Wow. You’re so straightforward. I thought you would give me all sorts of excuses.” Seeing that Lucas had been persuaded, Christopher placed his gun down. Nonetheless, it was still aimed at Lucas. If he tries anything funny, I’ll pull the trigger.
“You’re already aiming your gun at me. What else is there that I could hide?” Lucas gave a bitter laugh.
“The Franks are not backed by the Goldsteins. I am very sure of this as I have a good friend in the Frank family. You forged the evidence so that I would believe you and turn against Mark. Am I right?”
“You’re right. That was indeed a scam.”
“And then there’s Isabelle’s medical report. You purposely let me find out about it. Even hiding it from Yvonne was part of the plan. In that case, am I correct to assume that Isabelle took part in everything since the beginning and that your ultimate goal is Goldstein Corporation?” Christopher asked as he leaned against a couch. He then picked up a cigarette and gestured Lucas to light it for him.
Lucas’ expression changed upon hearing Christopher’s question. He never expected Christopher to have thought that far. Lucas then replied helplessly, “Isabelle indeed took part in this. As for her objective in doing so, I can’t let you know as we have signed an agreement. If you really want to know, why don’t you ask her directly?”
