Chapter 337 A Difficult Choice
No one expected Savannah to say such a thing; she actually planned to have Laura disfigured in front of so many people.
But these people didn't know that everything Savannah was doing now was just to provoke James into revealing his true identity.
Earlier, Savannah had given James two choices, but James still didn't react. Savannah thought it might be because her previous words hadn't truly worked, so she came up with the idea of having Laura's face ruined.
Clearly, James was now on the verge of rage, ready to explode at any moment.
Savannah also sensed the anger in James's eyes. She thought that just a little more provocation would definitely make James lose his temper and reveal his identity.
"Cameron, I don't want to waste words with these people anymore. Just do it!"
At this moment, Savannah suddenly shouted.
"Yes, Miss Edwards!"
Cameron, understanding what Savannah wanted, immediately pulled out a small knife from his clothes and started walking towards Laura.
"Laura, watch out!"
Nancy instinctively shouted when she saw Cameron rushing over.
Laura, frightened, quickly took two steps back. Perhaps due to her nervousness, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Cameron approached Laura step by step.
The onlookers around them all ran away, and no one was willing to help Laura.
Cameron, holding the knife with a sinister smile on his face, slowly walked up to Laura.
"Sorry, just doing my job!"
Cameron raised the knife, slashing it towards her face.
Laura screamed in fear and closed her eyes.
The next second, blood spurted out.
But Cameron's knife didn't slash Laura's face; it stabbed into James's back.
Just as Cameron made his move, James suddenly rushed out, hugging Laura tightly and using his back to shield her.
James couldn't help but gasp in pain from his back.
Laura stared at James in disbelief. She hadn't expected that in such a critical moment, James would risk his life to save her!
Laura's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she shouted at James, extremely emotional. "James, are you okay? Are you crazy?"
James looked up at Laura, forced a smile, and said softly, "If that knife had slashed your face, how could I bear it..."
Laura was stunned by James's words, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. She was deeply moved.
Seeing this, Savannah's lips curled into a smug smile.
She knew her goal had been achieved; James was now thoroughly enraged.
James, enduring the pain in his back, slowly stood up and looked at Savannah with a sinister expression, asking, "Do you know how foolish you're being now?"
"Foolish? I don't think so." Savannah sneered at James.
"Do you know what happens when you anger me?" James continued coldly.
"I don't know what happens when I anger you, but I know you know Terry and Charles. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to call them and have them send someone to help you!"
Savannah replied indifferently, then threw a phone in front of James.
James looked down at the phone on the ground and finally understood why Savannah was doing this.
Savannah wanted James to call Terry and Charles, forcing him to reveal his identity in front of Laura.
"Edwards..." James shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It seems you really went to great lengths this time!"
Savannah was momentarily stunned by James's words, then sneered.
She walked up to James and whispered, "James, since you've figured it out, I'll be honest with you. Everything that happened today was orchestrated by me. My real goal is to make you reveal your identity in front of Laura, so you lose the right to inherit the fortune. Do you understand?"
James gritted his teeth and replied coldly, "Are you so sure I'll reveal my identity in front of Laura?"
"I'm not sure, but now you have only two choices. The first is to watch your fiancée get disfigured but still retain the right to inherit the fortune. The second is to use all your power to protect her, but you'll have to reveal your identity in front of Laura, losing the right to inherit the fortune!"
"On one side is the woman you love, and on the other is a trillion-dollar fortune. I'm curious to see what you'll choose!"
Savannah smiled at James and then sat back down, watching him with amusement.
James stood there expressionless, gritting his teeth without saying a word.
Savannah was right; James now had only two paths to choose from: one leading to Laura and the other to a trillion-dollar fortune.
James had to make a choice between money and the woman he loved, a choice difficult for anyone.
What was more important, the woman you love or a huge fortune?
Laura, Nancy, Lily, and the others looked at James with puzzled expressions because they didn't know what Savannah had said to him or what he was thinking.
Savannah looked at James, her voice cold and mocking. "James, my patience is running out, so I'll give you three minutes to decide. If you haven't made a choice in three minutes, don't blame me for being rude!"
