Just as Dempsey had finished his words, Clarence showed up at the door.
His voice was icy-cold, âNow that you want to die, why donât you dig a hole and bury yourself into the tomb? Looks like it aggrieves you to let you alive.â
A trace of disdain and sarcasm flashed across Joannaâs face when she saw Clarence, âEven if I have to die, I should create some values. At least I canât let you take over the Conrad family like this.â
âYou donât have any value when youâre alive. Do you expect to create any value after death?â
Joannaâs eyes turned cold as she couldnât remain her composure, âClarence, cut the craps. Just do it if you want to kill me. Iâm not afraid of you.â
Clarence slowly curled his lips into a smile, yet his eyes still looked icy-cold.
He uttered words by word, âKilling you will only soil my hands.â
Joannaâs expression was changed dramatically. âWhat do you mean?â asked Joanna.
âThe things you did will let you be imprisoned for decades. I donât know whether if you can leave the prison alive. Why do I have to kill you personally?â Clarence continued calmly, âYou have been spoiled Annie since childhood. She couldnât bear life in prison. I guess you will not be accustomed to it either.â
Joanna thought of Annieâs miserable appearance and held her breath. Several seconds later, she suddenly burst into laughter, âClarence, oh Clarence, Iâve been thinking that youâre a person who canât be trifled with over the years. But it turns out youâre a coward whoâs afraid of many things.
You donât even dare to kill me, huh?â
âYou have to know that I once planned to kill Stella and that bastard son. What a pity it is that they were so lucky that they didnât die in that accident.
However, I swear that once Iâm alive, no matter where I am, I will not let go of them. All these will not have an end unless I die. You can wait and see their dead bodies one day.â
The smile on Clarenceâs face disappeared bit by bit with thick killing intentions gathering his eyes.
Dempsey said to his men, âThereâs something wrong with her brain. Take her upstairs for a rest.â
Before his men could get close to her, Joanna stood up and pushed them away, âHahaha, Iâm crazy? Yep, Iâm crazy! I became crazy when Justin had that car accident and when you took this illegitimate son back to the family! Iâm not afraid of death!â
Joanna then looked towards Clarence and said, âI remember youâre never a mercy man. Whatâs wrong with you? What are you afraid of? Kill me if you have the guts! I tried to kill your wife and your son, yet you donât have the guts to seek revenge for them. How ridiculous! Maybe only yourself is the most important one in your heart.â
Clarence remained silent and expressionlessly snatched Maxwellâs gun and slowly loaded the gun.
Dempsey widened his eyes, âClarence, are you crazy too?â
Clarence said calmly, âSheâs true. She should have died earlier.â
He lifted his hand and pointed at Joanna.
Dempsey took two steps backwards and hardly held his crutch. He ordered in a stern voice, âHurry up to stop him.â
However, Clarence had triggered the gun before those men could stop him. At the same time, there came a soft female voice from behind, âClarence.â
Bang!
The porcelain on the wall broke into pieces.
He didnât shoot Joanna in the end.
Joanna was dumbfounded for several seconds. She then turned around and looked at the pieces scattered on the ground.
Clarence said, âYou talked so much just now, hoping that I can kill you personally. Sorry, I disappointed you.â
After finishing the words, he threw the gun to Maxwell, yet he didnât turn around.
Joanna had planned for this for a long time, but she didnât expect that Clarence would choose not to kill her.
According to her anticipation, Clarence should hate her a lot.
But he was still not trapped under such a condition.
Joanna chuckled. Maybe she was laughing at Clarence, or maybe she was laughing at herself.
However, when everyone was heaving a sigh of relief, Joanna suddenly grabbed the dagger on the table.
Before Stella could see what was happening in the house, a person dashed to her and blocked the possible danger for her.
Stella moved her lips trying to say something, yet she couldnât utter even a syllable.
Dempsey said anxiously, âWhat do you want to do? Do you think todayâs commotion is not breaking enough? Why do you act like this? What do you expect Justin to face other people in the future?â
Joanna said sarcastically, âDo you think Justin will feel ashamed for having me as his mother? Or do you regret to bring up such an ungrateful son?â
After finishing the words, Joanna looked towards Clarence resentfully, âRemember it, Justin is my son. Heâs never been your brother! You will only be enemies since today because itâs you who force me to die.â
Before finishing the words, Joanna pointed the dagger at herself and stabbed it into her chest with great force.
Seeing this scene, Dempsey passed out.
Stella wanted to walk over when she heard the sounds, but a hand covered her eyes.
The man said in a low voice, âDonât watch it.â
Stella stood on the spot. She recalled what Joanna said just now. Associating it with the sounds she heard just now, it was easy for her to guess what had happened in the house.
Right at this moment, a gentle voice sounded from behind, âClarence, why are there many people? What happened?â
Stella felt the hand that was covering her eyes stiffened for a moment.
A thunder sounded outside and then there came the heavy rain.
Justin came over on the wheelchair. Before Clarence could answer his question, he saw Joanna who was lying in a pool of blood with her eyes widened and Dempsey who had fainted and fell onto the ground.
Justinâs smile stiffened and his eyes became blank.
Clarence closed his eyes and turned around, âCall the ambulance.â
âClarence,â Justin stopped him.
Clarence gently pushed Stella forward and said to Maxwell, âTake her away first.â

âGo.â
Stella turned around to look at him, her eyes crimson red.
Clarence smiled lightly at her.
When Maxwell took Stella out of the house, Clarence withdrew his gaze.
In the house...
Justin had crawled to Joanna and his wheelchair was left behind. He held up Joannaâs hand and asked with sobs, âWhat... What happened? How did it come to this?â
The only reply he got was Joannaâs widened eyes.
She had died and didnât have a single faint breath.
Justin sat beside her, holding her hands which were gradually getting cold. His strength was drained out of his body bit by bit.
Clarence walked over. It was hard to read his mood from his tone of voice. âShe said it was me who forced her to die and required you to seek revenge on me. I wonât deny it. I can seek revenge on her, so of course, you can also seek revenge on me.â
Looking at Joannaâs dead body, Justin murmured, âIâm crippled. What can I do to you? Clarence, she owes you and now youâre even.â
âShe doesnât owe me anything, so do you. She chose to die. Therefore, you donât have to feel guilty to me. Likewise, I wonât feel sorry to you for her death.â
Justin smiled in dismay, âItâs good.â
