After hearing it, Declan was so angry he gritted his teeth. Charles had already planted a seed of doubt in his mind. He distrusted John even more after hearing Boyceâs words.
Besides, the incident Boyce mentioned actually happened two years ago. When a new girl was serving a powerful person, she did not know the rules and her performance did not satisfy the powerful person. Angry, Declan ordered his men to teach the girl a lesson. All his men were rough and did not know when to stop. In the end, they accidentally killed her.
Since the incident had happened a long time ago, he almost forgot about it. Since he heard someone mention the incident again, he thought he had been betrayed by his own people.
Declan turned to look at Jaden and said quietly, âThank you for your time today.â
When he finished speaking, he left the Club in anger.
Jaden, who had sat across from him, curved his lips and finally understood what had happened. It seemed that Boyce and Matthew had acted to deceive Declan.
Actually, they hadnât deceived Declan. John did confess some things regarding Declan. Since Declan didnât favor him, he didnât know much about the confidential matters. It was Boyce who found out about the incident. Boyce purposely said that John had confessed to make Declan believe that John had betrayed him first.
galnoνâ¯ls.com is your update source According to the results of Boyceâs investigation, John was implicated in the girlâs death, so he did not mention it.
All the things John had confessed to were trivial and did not involve his own misdeeds. Although he had no strength of character, he was well aware that he had to keep quiet about things that were unfavorable to him.
After Declan left the Club, he ordered his men to take John to the villa.
When he angrily returned to the villa, John had already been taken to the villa.
Since he was suddenly taken to the villa, John was quite uneasy and carefully said, âMr. Baileyâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, the corners of Declanâs mouth turned up mischievously. Declan said nothing and kicked John. John fell to the ground. Since he was already badly hurt, he couldnât get up right away. He clutched his stomach and convulsed in pain.
âDidnât you say you werenât interrogated?â Declan crouched down and clenched his jaw, âYou dared to betray me?â
Johnâs eyes widened, hadnât Declan already believed in me? Why did Declan suddenly know this?
âYou should never believe the words of that crippleâ¦â
Wham!
John was slapped in the face. Declan was furious: âHow could it be false when I heard it with my own ears? I knew it. How was it possible that they didnât interrogate you and even send you back when you were in their hands? It turned out that you not only betrayed me, but you agreed to spy on me for them so they could investigate me. John, I treated you well. I never thought you would dare do this to me.â
Declan was enraged. He did everything he could to save John, but John betrayed him. He found this harder to accept than accepting the fact that his girlfriend had cheated on him.
He wished he could immediately strangle John to death so that he could take revenge on him.
John was puzzled. He had said some things about Declan, but the things he had said were not significant enough for them to take action against Declan. âWhen did I agree to become his spy?â he asked.
âThereâs definitely a misunderstandingâ¦â
âMisunderstanding!â The more Declan thought about it, the angrier he became. Then he slapped Johnâs face twice. Because he used too much force, half of his arm felt numb. Johnâs mouth filled with blood. His face, which was unsightly at first, became even more red and swollen. His face looked like the head of a roasted pig.
âIâm not deaf yet!â His angry expression disappeared and Declanâs face broke into a grin, âJohn, do you still remember my words?â
John was so frightened that he began to tremble. The blood from his mouth had already seeped down the front of his shirt. The blood stains were exceptionally evident on his hospital clothes that had blue and white stripes.
To save his own life, he lay face down on the floor and hugged Declanâs leg, âMr. Bailey, you have to believe me. I really didnât betray you. I swear to you, if I betray you, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.â
At that moment, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside.
John didnât know what to say.
Declan didnât know what to say either.
âI see the divine beings want you to be struck by lightning too.â Declan kicked it to the side and shouted to his men to come forward, âThrow it in the sea and feed it to the fish!â.
âMr. Bailey, you have to believe me.â John crawled over to Declan and cried as he hugged Declanâs leg, âI really didnât betray you. I beg you to believe me.â
Declan looked at John, who was acting like a dog, and laughed coldly, âI want to believe you too. But considering your incompetence, Iâll be surprised if you havenât betrayed me.â
He didnât have the guts â it would be strange if he didnât confess to them!
âWhy are you all standing there?â shouted Declan angrily. Some of his men immediately pulled John away from him.
âI beg you to believe me. I havenât really betrayed them.â John still refused to admit that he had confessed to them. If he admitted it, he would die.
But even if he didnât admit it, Declan was sure that John had betrayed him.
Declan took advantage of the situation to punish John so he could warn his men. He wanted his men to see the plight of the person who had betrayed him.
âI will not treat those who follow me badly. But if anyone betrays me, they will die!â said Declan aggressively. No one could save John!
To intimidate his men, Declan personally grabbed John and went to him.
As he cried and screamed, John begged for mercy. Declan was tired of hearing his cries. Declan ordered someone to put a gag in his mouth, stuff him in a sack and throw him in the trunk of the car. They headed for the coast in the suburbs.
Declanâs men following him thought at first that Declan was just scaring John and them, but they didnât expect Declan to really want John thrown into the sea.
They were all Declanâs men. Although they didnât like John, they also feared that they would meet the same fate someday, so they interceded with Declan on Johnâs behalf.
âAlthough he was undeserving, he had worked hard. With that in mind, please spare his life,â a bearded man opened his mouth and pleaded.
Declan snorted, leaned against the hood of the car and folded his arms, âHe betrayed me, so the only consequence is death. I treat them all the same. One day, if someone betrays me, there will be only this consequence. Whoever dares to intercede with me on Johnâs behalf will be thrown into the sea along with John.â
It seemed that all his men were silent in an instant. No one dared to speak again. They were all afraid of being thrown into the sea and becoming fish food.
âWhy arenât you all on the move? Shall I do it myself?â said Declan coolly.
His men shuddered at the same time. They all moved forward and grabbed the body writhing in the sack. John was gagged, but his ears still worked. He heard everything they had said. After hearing their words, he was terrified.
John struggled hard to free himself. However, he could not free himself because he was bound too tightly.
If his face could be seen at that moment, someone would be able to see his bloodless and terrified face.
In this world, no one can face death with peace of mind.
After all, everyone has only one chance to live. Once someone is dead, there is no second chance in life.
Declanâs face showed no emotion. He did not fear the consequences because he had the backing of someone in authority. If his actions were discovered, his father could save him, so he did what he wanted.
There was a big splash. The sack splashed into the sea. After a while, the sea was calm again. There was no fighting to be seen.
The men stood on the shore and looked horrible. One of them asked, âDo sharks really eat humans?â.
âIdiot. Of course they donât eat humans. Humans are the most superior animals.â
âYouâre the stupid one. Who says sharks donât eat humans?â One of the men who firmly believed that sharks could eat humans refuted the personâs claim he had just made.
âHave you seen it? âThat person was not convinced either. Humans are the rulers of the land. Since sharks are aquatic animals, why would they eat humans living on land?
âHave you seen âThe Great White Sharkâ? The sharks there eat humans.â The two insisted on their respective opinions. Neither agreed with the otherâs opinion.
âThatâs a movie! Real sharks donât eat humans.â
âBunch of idiots. Why did I hire such idiots?â Declanâs head ached after listening to their dispute, âCome on.â
When he finished speaking, he got into the car. There was a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning. It sounded like a heavy rain was imminent.
The men were afraid of getting wet in the rain, so they got into the car in an instant. They completely forgot what they had done a moment ago.
John was not well liked by his colleagues. When he was powerful, he was condescending and offended many people. For that reason, no one sincerely begged Declan to spare his life. The person who spoke on his behalf right now only feared that he would meet the same fate.
The men thought they should never betray Declan. Otherwise, they too would become fish food.
In the City, Dolores took her son and daughter to the pet store to buy supplies for Cotton. After that, Amanda wanted to go to the playground again.
Dolores raised her head and took a look at the sky. She thought it might rain a lot. She convinced her daughter and said, âHow about we go to the grocery store? Iâll buy you some food.â
Amanda gave it some thought, âOkay, Iâll reluctantly agree.â
Dolores didnât know whether to laugh or cry and reached out to pinch her cheeks, âThe older you get, the less cute you become.â
âThe woman who works at the pet store complimented me on my beauty â how could I not be beautiful?â Amanda was not convinced.
Dolores explained to her, âCute and beauty donât mean the same thing.â
âGo inside now,â she urged her.
They left the pet store and headed for the supermarket.
Just after they entered the supermarket, it began to rain heavily.
The rain was pouring down.
Amanda looked at the rain outside and said excitedly, âLuckily, we didnât go to the playground. Otherwise we would have gotten soaked.â
At the supermarket, Dolores was leading the two children by the hand. Coral and the new servant were behind them. The driver was at the back of the group of people.
As he pushed the shopping cart, Coral said, âThere is no more fruit in the house.â
They went to the fruit section and bought some seasonal fruits. There was a wide variety of seasonal fruits. The fruits were affordable and, more importantly, they were fresh.
When they passed by the pastry section, Amanda wanted to eat donuts. She ran to the donuts, grabbed a tray and placed them on it.
Through the glass, she saw the person standing in front of the counter.
When she got a good look at the person, she exclaimed, âIs that you?â
