Chapter 560 He then stabbed Estella unexpectedly.
âEstella, run!â Natalie shouted anxiously. But it was too late.
When the sharp blade slashed Estellaâs arm, blood oozed out instantly. Estella fell to the floor, clutching her arm, and cried out in pain.
âIf anyone comes over again, Iâll kill Natalie!â Jethro pulled Natalieâs hair and continued shouting, âDid you hear it? Step back!â
This forced the Larson Groupâs employees, who had planned to rush up to save Natalie, to retreat.
Even Estella didnât dare to move again. She was still on the floor, pressing on her wound. âAre you okay, Natalie?â she asked in a low voice.
Natalie realized that Estella was not afraid of death at all. Even in such a critical situation, she still had the mood to chat casually.
However, she was actually scared shitless. âWhat if I die here today?â Estella asked, her voice shaking because of fear. âIt turns out that saving people is not as simple as the novel suggests. I have yet to attend the award ceremony. I have yet to begin writing the novel I promised you. I still have a lot of money in my bank account that I havenât spent. If I had known how short my life would be, I would have treated myself better...â
âDonât talk nonsense,â Natalie cut Estella off from self-talking. She was moved by Estellaâs action to save her just now, but it wasnât the right time to express her gratitude.
âHurry up and go,â Natalie urged. âJethro has no time for you now.â
Estella looked up at Jethro.
Sure enough, Jethro was clutching Natalie tightly and refusing to let her go.
Jethro glared at Estella viciously. âGo away! Donât get in my way!â He then yelled at the employees around him. âMove back! If you dare to come up again, I will stab you as well!â
Estella had no choice but to nod and walk away weakly while covering her wound.
The Larson Groupâs employees then came up to support her. But no one dared to go forward for fear of provoking Jethro to do something even worse.
Natalie licked her dry lips to calm herself down.
âDonât be so worried. I value my life so I wonât run away,â Natalie told Jethro. She then blinked slowly and said, âI noticed you keep swallowing. Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?â
âShut up, bitch!â Jethro gritted his teeth. âI donât need water!â
Natalie then changed her approach. âYou want money, donât you? How much do you want?â
Jethro yanked Natalieâs hair so hard that it almost snapped. âDonât you understand what Iâm saying?â I said shut up! I want to talk to Brandon, not you!â 2 âJethro, let go of my wife.â
As soon as Jethro finished speaking, he heard Brandonâs voice.
Brandonâs eyes were dark and cold. âWhat do you want? Tell me.â
He had called the cops, and the b*odyguards of the Larson Group had surrounded Jethro.
Subconsciously, Jethro took a few steps back. It was the first time he saw Brandon face to face, and Brandonâs intimidating aura made him shudder.
âGive me my money, and Iâll let her go!â Jethro yelled, trying to gather his courage.
âHow dare you ask me for money?â Brandon sneered. âYour factory was already in bad condition, and you were heavily in debt. Even if I didnât withdraw the order, you wouldnât be able to keep going for another three months. You are a loser, and now you even blame the Larson Group for your failure. This is ridiculous!â
Jethro was taken aback. How did Brandon know these things? He believed he had done a good job of concealing the truth.
âIâm not a loser! But you made me one! You are the one who is forcing me into this. This world, this society...â
After his lie was exposed, Jethro was on the verge of collapsing, his eyes filled with rage and embarrassment. He wildly waved his knife, which later grazed Natalieâs neck.
âOuch!â Natalie cried out in pain, with blood oozing from her neck.
Brandonâs pupils contracted and his breath became short as he saw Natalie getting injured.
âHow much do you want?â demanded Brandon furiously. His face was red with anger and veins popped up from his forehead. He was trying hard to control his temper.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 Jethro immediately calmed down at the mention of money.
âI want five million in cash. I will also need a car! Stop the car outside when itâs here!â he demanded conceitedly.
He was about to take pleasure in finally getting Brandon to dance to his tune. However, he soon remembered Brandonâs cunningness. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, âBrandon, youâre not calling the police, right? Iâll kill Natalie if I hear the police coming!â âIâm not calling the police. Iâm asking my assistant to get you the money and the car now,â explained Brandon anxiously. He knew that he shouldnât try anything risky and the most important thing right now was to keep Jethroâs mood under control. That way, he could prevent Jethro from hurting Natalie again.
Soon after, Sean came jogging in with a heavy case.
He opened the case, turned it around to face Jethro, and said with disdain, âHereâs the five million dollars. Do you want to count them?â
Jethroâs eyes lit up at the sight of the cash. He lifted his foot and kicked the case closed. âDo you think Iâm stupid? Wouldnât I be giving you a chance to seize me if I start counting the money now?â he said haughtily.
