Chapter 1558 by Marina Vittori

With the knife clenched tightly, Lana applied more pressure, and the wound on her neck deepened. Matteo’s heart ached as he saw that, helpless against his daughter. He eventually gave in. “Alright, I’ll let you two go. But starting today, you’re no longer part of the Camron family!”

He declared sternly, “From now on, we’re done. I’ll act like I never had a daughter like you, Lana.”

“Dad?” Lana quivered, her face etched with anguish.

“I’m not your father anymore! Leave now!” Matteo waved, signaling the guards to step back. Then he turned away, refusing to look at Lana.

Tears filled his eyes without him realizing it. He muttered, “Lana, live well. Go away from this treacherous place like Oakvale. I wish you happiness.

“Dad, I’m sorry.” Lana was hit with a wave of guilt as she saw Matteo’s hunched figure. After a brief hesitation, she wiped away her tears, grabbed Dustin, and rushed toward the door. Once out of the living room, Dustin couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Camron, what’s going on?”

“No time to explain! The Moseys’ spies are everywhere; we need to leave quickly. If they find out, you won’t make it out today!”

With Dustin in tow, Lana hurriedly ran, her eyes darting nervously in all directions.

“The Moseys?” Dustin furrowed his brow slightly. He thought, “Is Scott up to something again?”

“Let’s use the back door!” Lana carefully led Dustin to the mansion’s back door, ensuring they weren’t spotted.

Lana opened the door and confirmed no unusual activity. Then Lana turned to Dustin. She quickly advised, “Follow this path straight ahead. You’ll soon reach the main road.

“Once you get home, pack your bags and leave Oakvale immediately. It’s not safe here anymore!”

“Ms. Camron, it may not be that serious. If you’re worried about Scott, I can handle him,” Dustin suggested.

“I know you have Ms. Harmon. But Mr. Mosey has the support of Veros Warrior and the Moseys. Even Ms. Harmon can’t afford to offend them. Just trust me, leave quickly!” Lana said with a solemn expression.

“I’m leaving, but what about you?” Dustin countered.

“I’ll find a way to escape and keep myself safe.”

With a forced smile, Lana added, “Scott is after you. He probably won’t harm me. Don’t worry about me; just go.”

Without waiting for Dustin’s response, she pushed him out the door.

“Ms. Camron, I-Dustin was about to explain when Lana saw something; her expression suddenly changed.

“Watch out!” Lana exclaimed and used all her strength to push Dustin away. Following that, a series of gunshots rang out. A barrage of bullets hit Lana, creating over a dozen bloody holes in her. Everything happened so unexpectedly that even Dustin couldn’t intervene in time.

“Go… quickly….” Lana, with blood flowing from her mouth, gazed at Dustin. She reached out her hand as if grasping for something.

But her body eventually gave way, collapsing into a pool of blood.
