Chapter 1203
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
â Liam!â Amberâs eyes turned watery as she rushed towards the man lying on the ground.
She felt the breath leave her lungs, and her face went pale.
Liam pushed away the man in a white coat on top of him and stretched his body. He sounded relaxed as he said softly, âMiss, stop crying. Iâm still aliveâ¦â
The people who had been shot were the two âsurgeonsâ in lab coats. Liam had hid behind them, so he had escaped unscathed.
Renee was hiding in the dismantling room with Joanne, who had fainted. They did not come out for the time being.
âMaster, youâre a bit cruel to your disciple. If it werenât for these two, I would be dead by now,â Liam said slowly, staring at the two dead men on the ground.
âHow dare you fool me!â Furious, Benjamin ordered, âAim your guns at him. Fire again!â
âNo, you canât do that!â Amber spread her arms out wide as she stood before Liam, and said seriously, âDad, it looks like you donât want your daughter anymore. Go ahead and fire. Iâll die with Liam.â
âDamn it, youâre driving me mad! Come here now!â Benjamin had only one child. Even if he was a ruthless man, he could not bear to let anything happen to her. Gritting his teeth, he yelled, âHe doesnât even like you, but youâre willing to die for him. What are you trying to get out of this?â
âI donât want anything. Iâll be fine as long as Liam is fine. Iâll be happy as long as he is. If he dies here in your hands, Iâll take my life and die with him immediately. Try it if you donât believe me.â Amberâs tone was firm, and she even took out the dagger she gave Liam previously and pressed it against her neck. âGo on! Give it a try!â
Seeing that, Mateo became very anxious. His voice turned shaky as he tried to beg for mercy for Amber. âMaster, Amber looks gentle but sheâs a tough one. I donât think sheâs lying, so letâs not force her. If she becomes desperateâ¦â
âLet her take her life if sheâs that desperate! Iâll forget about that child. Itâs fine as long as I have my foster sons with me.â Benjamin clenched his fists and uttered, âItâs my fault. I protected her so much that I raised an indecisive fool. She interferes with my affairs, so Iâd better give her up.â
âMaster, donât say things out of spite. Itâs just her first time falling in love, and she fell for a man who doesnât deserve her love. She did nothing wrong. Please give her another chance.
When she grows up and becomes more mature, sheâll be sensible.â Mateo risked infuriating Benjamin as he tried his best to persuade him.
âDad, Iâm an ungrateful child. I failed to become the kind of daughter youâre proud of. I donât care if you hate me, I just want you to let them go. Iâll use my life as a bargaining chip. Iâm begging you, please let them goâ¦â Amber closed her eyes and uttered slowly, âOn the count of three, Iâll slash my neck if you donât let them go.â
âHow dare you!â Benjamin bellowed, âIt looks like Iâve spoiled you too much ⦠You seem to think youâre indispensable! Go ahead and slash your neck. Iâll forget about even having you.
Iâ¦â
âOneâ¦â
âGo ahead. I wonât let them go even if you cut off your head!â
âTwoâ¦â
âHmph! Youâre lying. You know how much I hate being threatened!â âThree!â Amber called out, and closed her eyes as she pressed the dagger into her skin.
