SWNOVELS Chapter 1242
Holding her shot hand, Mavis vented her fury through a vehement curse.
“Bruce, you despicable bastard. I've never crossed you. So why the hell did you
order your lackeys to apprehend me?”
Bruce's brow furrowed as he inquired, “So, you're here to seek retribution
because I had you detained?”
“Yes, and you're coming with me. Harlan now thinks I betrayed Marcus's secret
to your people. But I never uttered a word. You need to set the record straight
with him.”
A smirk danced upon Bruce's lips as he posed a few more queries, piecing
together the situation.
As it unraveled, it became apparent that Mavis had developed feelings for
Harlan. However, her capture by Bruce, coupled with Bruce's attack on Marcus,
had placed Derek in jeopardy. Consequently, Harlan presumed Mavis divulged
Marcus's injury, triggering the attack on Marcus.
Frankly, Bruce found her audacity admirable. How could she dare hold affection
for someone like Harlan? Youth was synonymous with fearlessness.
And beyond that, she had exhibited unparalleled courage by infiltrating his
clandestine stronghold.

Yet Mavis was puzzled as to how she knew the existence of hidden assassin
lurking within the bedroom.
Even without the assassin taking any action, he discerned the rhythm of
approaching footsteps. Intrigued, he remained stationary, intent on observing
Mavis's forthcoming actions.
The gunshot wound inflicted upon Mavis caused her unbearable agony,
threatening to plunge her into unconsciousness.
“It's excruciating. Get me a doctor,” she pleaded.
Bruce lifted her chin, his gaze unyielding.
“Fetch a doctor for you?
Fat chance. Given that you're here, elucidate Marcus's condition for me.”
Abruptly, panic surged within Mavis. She had come into danger of her own
accord.
Nonetheless, she maintained her unyielding demeanor. Regardless of the
circumstances, she remained resolute in her decision not to disclose any
information to him.
“I won't say a word. Just end me. I was well aware of the risks when I embarked
on this.”
