âMoreover, the little duck walked on two legs.â Emmeline said. âThe little frog was envious and tried to imitate the little duck. However, the little frog couldnât walk steadily and got scoldedâ¦â
Sun already knew what the next two words from Emmeline were.
âLie down!â
Helios immediately broke free from Erinâs arm and lunged forward. At the same time, a bullet from Abelâs gun struck Erinâs forehead.
Erin fell backward and tumbled off the building. She fell heavily to the ground and was pulverized.
Edmond fell silent.
Helios lay on the edge of the building. His body was trembling.
âSun!â
Abel and Emmeline rushed over together.
Emmeline began to cry after hugging them. I had only looked at Abel once a moment earlier. If we did not understand each other, the only opportunity would have been lost!
Sonia and Michaela, who were behind the crowd, were stunned as they saw what had happened. They could not have imagined that Abel would have a gun at places like the wedding banquet and openly shoot and kill Erin as well! They pondered in their minds. If we go against Abel, would we end up like Erin?
Michaela took a deep breath and patted Soniaâs hand. Then she said, âDonât be afraid. Iâll settle everything carefully. Weâre not Erin! Sheâs just utterly foolish!â
Sonia nodded her head and seemed startled.
The sound of sirens came from the plaza of the Nimbus Hotel.
Everyone who gathered on the rooftop had all descended.
Adam was taken to the hospital.
Only Emmeline, Adrien, Lizbeth, and Edmond remained on the top floor.
âMr. Abel,â Edmond stared at Abel and said, âWhy did you have to kill Erin?â
Abel was angry after listening to Edmondâs words. He sneered and said, âWhy did I kill her? Edmond, are you out of your mind?â
âEdmond!â Lizbeth frowned and said, âYouâre something like this at a time like this? Didnât you see Erin -holding Sun hostage just now?â
Adrien said, âAnd she even poisoned the food.â
âAll of that was forced by Abel! Edmondâs face turned gloomy and he said, âI donât understand. Why canât you just let go of her? Sheâs just a weak woman with Edmondâs baby! You just killed two lives; do you realize that?â
Edmond seemed to be angry.
Emmeline restrained her anger before she lost her temper. She said coldly, âLet me tell you the reason.
Erin should be the same person as Evelyn; do you understand now?â
âI agreed with what you said,â Lizbeth said. âMr. Murphy, Erin had bad intentions from the start when she approached you. Youâre being used by her!â
âNonsense!â Edmond yelled angrily, âI wonât believe it either! How could Erin be Evelyn? Sheâs just an innocent woman who fell in love with me. She was even pregnant! She just wanted to have a peaceful life with me. What motives do you all have? You refuse to let her go, no matter what!â
âIf she truly is Erin, we have no grudges against her!â Emmeline said, âBut if she truly is Evelyn, she would destroy the Murphy family first!â
âIt was all caused by Abel!â Edmond said angrily, âAbel was the one who kicked Evelyn out of the Murphy family. Shouldnât he be guilty?â
âIt is obvious that you refuse to listen to our words!â Abel sneered and said, âEmma, donât bother with someone like him. Itâs a waste of time!â
Emmeline pondered for a while. Abelâs words are true! Let Edmond face the consequences first!
At the same time, Edmondâs phone rang. It was a call from his residence at Altney.
Edmond said coldly, âHello?â
