My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

As he got closer, Emily's men took out shotguns and pointed them at him. They even surrounded him. Jordan glanced at me from a distance, then turned to Emily and negotiated, "I'm here. Let her go."

Emily got out of the car. Just like that day in the unfinished building, she smiled politely and spoke languidly, "Don't worry. Let's take it slow and easy."

After saying so, the man beside her attentively took out a chair and placed it behind her.

Emily slowly sat down and crossed her legs. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Do you still remember the first time we met? That was the first time someone pointed a shotgun at my head since I was born. Till this day, I remember every single vivid movement then."

Jordan didn't show fear and asked calmly, "What are you trying to do?"

"You will know soon enough." Emily's smile disappeared instantly. Then, she eyed her subordinate.

The man immediately understood. Three big men instantly grabbed Jordan and pressed him down with his face close to the ground.

Then, the door of another car opened, and a man in sunglasses came out. The man seemed to be blind. After standing still, Emily's people went to help him. Only then did he move further and slowly walk over until he was only a step away from Jordan's face.

The subordinate who was supporting the man placed his shotgun into the hands of the blind man and told him to hold it tightly. He directed his hand and had it pointing at Jordan's head.

"Take a good look, Jordan. This man holding the shotgun is the one who blinded his own eyes while trying to snatch territory for the Sherwood family. The day you pointed the gun at me, was the day where you snatched away the territory that he exchanged his life for. Today, he would be using the same way to get it back. Whether you are able to live, let's just leave it to God!"

After a pause, Emily slightly narrowed her eyes, raised her voice, and ordered, "Pull the trigger!"

Bang!

The sound of the trigger had the same sound that I heard earlier.

I looked at all this indifferently, not worrying for Jordan for a single second.

What went through my head was the scene where

Aaron was pressed to the ground and had his hand smashed till it broke.

So what goes around does come around. This was Jordan's retribution.

No, this was not enough. We should let him suffer all the pain that we'd suffered.

It was just a bullet. It was too little of a punishment for him.

However, God was still on his side. Due to the recoil of the shotgun, and the misdirection of the blind man, the bullet went astray.

In the face of life and death, Jordan still retained his pride of being God's favored one. However, his thick eyebrows were tightly knitted, which showed that he was ready to die for a moment.

"Humph!" Emily sneered and uttered sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

She got up and walked over. Her subordinates immediately loosened their grip and pulled Jordan up.

Jordan half knelt on the ground, his

dark eyes filled with endless

fierceness. He warned in a

threatening tone, "Kill me, and I can

guarantee that no one in the

Sherwood family will live through tonight."

"Oh? It seems that you have made preparations too?" Emily asked sarcastically. "Let me guess.

Are you talking about my dear mother and grandmother? That's great. I've always thought they were in my way, and I didn't have a suitable excuse to get rid of them. Now I have to thank you."

It seemed like the family of Jarold City's number one medicine manufacturer wasn't all that peaceful or united.

Jordan made a mistake this time. Not only did he not manage to threaten Emily, but he even helped her get a job done.

"In that case, I'll let you live a little longer." Emily suddenly changed her mind and motioned her subordinates to bring me over.

The man guarding me immediately picked up my chair and threw me in front of Jordan. He then aimed the gun at me.

Our eyes met and I glared at him fiercely, then turned away stubbornly.

Standing between us, Emily circled me with great interest and uttered as she walked, "How could you enjoy the pleasure of seeing the woman you love die before your eyes when you are dead? Am I right?"

"Don't you dare!" Jordan suddenly became furious. The three strong men behind him could barely hold onto him.
