Chapter 573

Chapter 573:

Milly admitted, “I am indeed a member of the Serpentine Palers, but I was not the one assigned to get close to you.”

“What?” Howard’s voice faltered, disbelief etching his features. “That’s impossible.” If not Milly, then who?

Suddenly, the door burst open. Howard was shoved aside as a bullet pierced Milly’s arm.

Nalani entered the room, shutting the door behind her, her gun trained on Milly. Milly dodged with agile precision, and within seconds, the two exchanged a flurry of blows.

In the heat of the confrontation, Milly lunged at Nalani, a flash of cold light gleaming in her hand. It was a dagger!

Milly’s weapon of choice.

Though small and exquisite, it was lethally efficient. A flash of terror crossed Nalani’s eyes. Milly was a legend within the organization; she could assassinate anyone with a single, swift move, and her victim would fall silently, unbeknownst to all.

“Stop, or I’ll kill him!”

Nalani’s voice was firm, her gun now aimed directly at Howard.

Milly froze, the air thick with tension.

Howard looked at Nalani, his expression a complex tapestry of emotions. He had harbored suspicions about her, but the revelation that both she and Milly were part of the Serpentine Palers was beyond his expectations.

“Milly, do you know why the Serpentine Palers sent me to get close to Howard?” Nalani’s voice was steady. “It’s because they know about your past connections with him. You couldn’t harm him, but I can. You care deeply about Howard, so now I’ll offer you a choice and ensure his escape from the organization’s clutches.”

“How will you do it?” Milly’s voice was tense, cautious.

Nalani’s plan was audacious. “On the day we get engaged, Howard will seemingly die in a car accident. Afterward, he’ll undergo plastic surgery. Howard Johns will disappear from this world, and I’ve already crafted a new identity for him.”

During her time with Howard, Nalani had developed genuine feelings for him.

Howard was an exceptional individual, standing out among men like the serene moon in the night sky—calm and gentle.

She found herself unable to surrender him to the organization’s dark designs.

Milly weighed the viability of the proposed scheme, her voice cautious as she asked, “What do you need from me?”

“Utilize the method you excel at to kill yourself,” Nalani instructed, her eyes gleaming with malicious intent.

Howard’s expression abruptly hardened. “Absolutely not!”

“If you don’t kill yourself, I’ll kill him,” Nalani said, looking directly at Howard.

Milly replied, “Stop!”

Nalani’s eyes gleamed mischievously. “How about it? Let’s begin.”

She glanced at Milly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
