Chapter 489: Chapter 489 I Will Protect You

“What are you talking about?” Eudora said, “Even if the police come, they will definitely arrest you!”

Kesha burst into a fit of laughter, “How is that possible? The police will only arrest those who had committed a crime. Amos has killed Steven. Obviously, the police will catch him!”

Eudora frowned. She glanced around and found Steven lying on the ground. She wasn’t sure if he was still alive.

“You! You were the one who did this!” Eudora said.

Kesha immediately started laughing, “Aren’t you smart, big sister? But… it’s too late now!”

She then turned around and saw that the police were only several hundred meters away and heading up the mountain!

Unexpectedly, Harley sneered.

“Look closer!”

Kesha was stunned. She looked at them carefully this time. There were two men whom she didn’t recognize behind the group of policemen.

“What’s going on? That’s…”

Eudora recognized Charlie and Wesley behind the group of policemen, and she immediately felt the weight lifting off her shoulders.

“Did you think that you were the only one who could call the police? Miss Kesha, have you forgotten what I do?” Harley asked coldly.

The next second, Kesha’s eyes popped wide open.

“Harley, you took advantage of your position. I’m going to report you! You deserve to die!”

Harley stood his ground. “I have nothing to be afraid of, feel free to report me as you like. You’re coming with us to the police station. We would like to know what happened to your mother. You may report me then!”

After that, Harley pretended to walk towards Kesha.

Kesha panicked. She thought that she would succeed for sure. Everything was going according to plan, but why did it turn out like this in the end?

She didn’t want to go to the police station. She didn’t want to become a lunatic like Felix.

She shouted at those thugs hurriedly. “What are you looking at? Seize them!”

The thugs hesitated, unsure whether they should complete the mission. After all, they hadn’t gotten the money yet. However, after seeing how flustered Kesha was, they knew that her plan had failed.

Not to mention, there were so many policemen coming.

The leader of the thugs immediately waved his hand to his men and ordered, “Retreat!”

There was no better time to run than now.

However, Harley was not planning to them run away! Many of them were criminals who managed to escape the law before. Now that they had come out of hiding, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined if he didn’t catch them?

Harley chased after the thugs instinctively while Charlie, Wesley, and the others trailed behind him.

Only Amos, Kesha, Eudora, and Clint were left at the scene. Steven, however, was lying on the ground unconscious in a pool of blood.

Clint went over hurriedly and pulled Eudora away from Kesha. “Mrs. Granger, are you alright?”

Eudora shook her head. The next second, she saw the blood all over Amos’ body. The smell of blood instantly filled her nostrils. “Are you alright?”

Eudora asked with concern flooding in her eyes.

“I’m fine, it’s just a cut!” Amos said with a smile.

Truth be told, the wound was quite deep, and it definitely wasn’t just a small cut. He had only said those words so that Eudora would not worry.

Eudora was wise enough to see through the lie. However, she did not want Amos to know that she would be worried, so she pretended to be fooled.

She pursed her lips and said, “Even if it’s not serious, we must tend to it quickly! Hurry. Let’s go down the mountain…”

“Alright!” Amos nodded.

Behind him, Kesha watched them with disgust and squealed, “Stop pretending, you two. Amos, did you not see that video? Don’t you feel hurt? And Eudora, you are not as pure as you think, so stop acting innocent. You both are so ignorant, hahaha!”

Eudora and Amos were shocked by Kesha’s words.

Amos thought that Eudora was not aware of the video, and Eudora didn’t want him to know that she already knew. She thought that the two of them would be able to spend the rest of their lives peacefully, but in the end, the truth was still exposed.

Eudora was rooted to the ground. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

The next second, she felt Amos holding her fingers firmly. Amos said in a low and soothing voice, “Honey, my wound hurts. You said that you would take me to the hospital, didn’t you?”

It was as though he didn’t hear Kesha’s words at all, and he didn’t say anything apologetic to her either.

Since he believed that Eudora already knew everything, and yet she was still protecting him…

Upon realizing what was going on, Eudora raised her head and smiled at Amos. “Alright!”

Watching them walk away like nothing happened stabbed needles into Kesha’s heart. Who gave them the right to be happy when all they had done was ruin her life?

Why was it that even now, they were so happy, while she was the one going to prison?

The jealousy burning in Kesha’s heart intensified. While Clint was not paying attention, she abruptly shoved him away. She then picked up the knife on the ground and quickly ran toward Amos.

Clint stumbled a little. When he regained his footing and turned around to chase after Kesha, it was already too late!

He shouted, “Watch out…”

Eudora’s heart shuddered, and she instantly ran in front of Amos to block him from the attack. It seemed that it had already become a type of instinct.

However, the next second, Amos held her in his arms, turned, and shielded Eudora with his body.

The tip of the knife was stabbed into Amos’ back. Eudora looked at Amos in shock. “No! Oh no… Are you okay?”

Blood was already flowing out from the corner of Amos’ mouth, but he was still smiling at her at this point.

“I’ll be fine. I promised you before that I would take care of you forever…”

Taking advantage of this, Kesha aimed the knife at Eudora this time.

“Your love disgusts me. Well, perhaps the three of you can die together!”

She raised her hand and swung the knife. This time, Kesha’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Steven, who had just been lying unconscious on the ground a few moments ago, suddenly got up and stood in front of Eudora.

“Steven,” Kesha said, astonished. “You….”

Clint rushed over and kicked Kesha away in a nick of time.

“Quick, send Amos to the hospital!” Eudora shouted.

Clint made a phone call hurriedly. Steven, who was on the other side, lifted his hand and looked at Amos. “I’m sorry, Amos, I have misunderstood you. This is how I pay my debt. Please take care of my mother, and don’t blame Kesha…”
