Chapter 301 Mutual Destruction
Mia sneered, pulling out a bundle of timed explosives, her face twisted as she looked at Margaret. "You want to save your friend? Fine, come over here, replace her as my hostage, and strap this on!"
She stared at Margaret, her tone full of provocation. "Your friend's life depends on your decision. If she dies, it's all your fault, not mine!"
Margaret's cold gaze fell on the bomb in Mia's hand, and she thought Mia was truly insane.
"Mia, do you know that everything you're doing right now is illegal? Even if you manage to kill me and get away, the cop will still catch up with you. It's not too late to turn back now," Margaret said, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Mia grew increasingly impatient. "Stop talking about other things. I want you dead right now!"
Mia glared at Margaret, feeling a strange excitement.
She had been plotting for so long, and today was the closest she had ever come to success!
Soon, she would finally get rid of Margaret!
Even if she couldn't have Lyle, Margaret wouldn't get him either!
Mia sneered. "Margaret, I'll give you three minutes to decide. If you don't agree out of fear, I'll push your friend off the cliff!"
Juniper frowned, looking at the bottomless cliff behind her, her face already pale with fear, but she still tried to remain calm and shouted to Margaret, "Margaret, don't come over! I don't need you to replace me. If I die, just report her to the cop and make sure she faces justice! I won't blame you if I die!"
Juniper's words deeply moved Margaret.
At the brink of life and death, Juniper was terrified but still didn't want her to take the risk.
Precisely because of this, Margaret couldn't let Juniper die for her; she couldn't betray her friend.
After all these years, Juniper had been by her side, and their bond was deep. She must protect her friend now.
Moreover, Margaret was confident that she could handle Mia with her skills.
Margaret quickly formulated a plan in her mind.
Her gaze was deep and intense as she looked at Mia and said, "Fine, I agree to your demands, but you must release Juniper immediately and no tricks!"
Seeing Margaret agree, Mia smirked triumphantly. "Of course."
She stared at Margaret. "Come over now. As long as you let me strap the explosives to you, I'll release your friend."
"How can I be sure that if I do as you say, you'll actually release my friend?" Margaret squinted her eyes.
"Do you think you have a choice?" Mia saw that Margaret was still trying to negotiate, seemingly to buy time. Her face turned cold as she pushed Juniper, leaving half of her body hanging over the edge. If Mia let go, Juniper would fall.
"One more word, and I'll let go!" Mia shouted.
Juniper's face turned ashen, her whole body trembling with fear, but she gritted her teeth and didn't cry out, not wanting to worry Margaret.
"Stop!" Margaret frowned, stepping forward. "Let go of Juniper, and I'll come over."
She quickly walked to Mia, who then pulled Juniper back and pushed Margaret to the ground.
Mia then tightly bound Margaret's hands and strapped the explosives to her waist.
"Margaret, you shameless bitch! I want you to die without a trace! That way, when Lyle remembers you, he'll only see your mangled body. Lyle is mine! No one else can have him! Margaret, You're toast!"
Mia held the remote control for the explosives, seemingly already envisioning Margaret being blown to pieces, laughing maniacally.
Juniper, lying on the ground, watched anxiously and angrily, but she was also tied up and couldn't help.
"Ready to die, Margaret?" Mia laughed crazily, seeing Margaret still calm and cold, which made her even angrier.
Soon, with just a press of a button, she would never have to see the face she hated so much.
"Margaret, die!" Mia was about to press the button when a sudden force hit her.
She turned around to see Margaret, who had been tied up, suddenly behind her, trying to grab the remote.
"How did you untie yourself? It was a dead knot!" Mia looked at Margaret in disbelief.
Margaret's eyes were deep and confident, a mocking smile on her lips. "Mia, you're too full of yourself. Even Leander couldn't trap me. Did you think tying me up would work?"
Mia's eyes widened with hatred. "You tricked me!"
"So what if I did!" Margaret laughed boldly. "Mia, you can never beat me. You'll always be my defeated opponent!"
Margaret increased her strength, trying to snatch the remote.
At that moment, William arrived with a group of bodyguards and police officers.
When William learned that Margaret had gone to Glimmerpeak, he immediately had Peter call the police and personally brought bodyguards and police officers.
As soon as they reached the top, William saw Margaret covered in explosives, struggling with Mia for the remote, while Juniper lay on the side.
Margaret was indeed in trouble!
William's heart tightened with worry.
"Stop!" The police drew their guns, aiming at Mia, noticing the explosives on Margaret.
William's handsome face was tense, his eyes full of worry and concern.
He appeared calm, but inside he was extremely anxious.
They were on the edge of a cliff; if they fell, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Margaret saw William and immediately realized he had probably guessed her whereabouts.
"Damn it, you did call for help. Then let's die together!" Mia stopped fighting for the remote, seeing the police closing in, knowing she couldn't escape this time.
Mia gritted her teeth, her face twisted, and pulled Margaret towards the cliff.
"Margaret, die!" Mia shouted, holding Margaret tightly as they both fell towards the cliff.
