Chapter 940:

? ? ? ? ?

After a rush of emotions, Katie's expression settled into one as gray and lifeless as ash.

Exhausted, Katie slumped against the wall, repeating under her breath, "Mitchel, you're absolutely crazy!"

"Katie, this is the price you have to pay," Mitchel mocked mercilessly.

Katie felt like her world had collapsed. Everything was finished, completely finished. She wasn't prepared to die, but the thought that she wouldn't be alone in death brought her a strange comfort. "Mitchel, do you really think you've won?"

Katie scoffed. «You haven't won. You have shown everyone that I am the woman you love the most. You have completely broken Raegan's heart.

His words transformed Mitchel's usually expressionless face into a frozen one. His face turned stone cold as he declared, “You might want to think about what awaits you!”

"I don't care anymore," Katie said weakly. A few moments ago he was trembling with fear. His sudden change of attitude seemed suspicious.

«That you die with me makes everything less scary. Even if we die, being known as tragic lovers is not the worst fate, right? Katie scoffed.

Disgust filled Mitchel and his lips curled in disdain. “Katie, who said I was letting you die?”

Confusion crossed Katie's face.

“Whoosh!” A syringe fell to the floor near Katie's feet.

Mitchel announced, "You could try to escape."

Confused, Katie began to ask, "Why would you...?"

Then it dawned on him. "Mitchel, you don't really want me dead!"

Katie quickly connected the dots and understood Mitchel's intention, his cunning demonstrated in his ability to hatch numerous plans.

You want me to kill Lorenzo and then live the rest of my days as a fugitive, always terrified, hunted by the entire Maxwell family, right?

A fierce look flashed in Mitchel's eyes. «I do nothing but delay your end. Do you really think you can elude the entire Maxwell family indefinitely?

Just thinking about the Maxwell family chasing her made Katie shiver from head to toe. The Maxwells wouldn't pursue her indefinitely. If they decided to put an end to her, they would quickly accomplish their task.

If the target did not die quickly, the full power of the Maxwell family would ensure success.

By then, she would be scared to death until the end, and then she would have to face being captured and subjected to forty-eight horrible tortures.

The Maxwell family was famous for their ruthless methods, torturing their victims until the end.

The mere prospect of such a horrible life made Katie wish for death.

How could he face that?

"You have no heart." Katie felt like she was diving into an icy hole, her face turning pale as a ghost.
