Chapter 380
She pulled out another fruit knife seemingly from nowhere and pressed it against Keith's chin.
Haley's hand froze.
She had just been ready to catch Emily off guard and overpower her, not expecting another weapon in play...
It seemed now she had to ruin her face before she could figure out what to do next.
Seeing Keith's eyes stubbornly open, Haley had no choice but to turn her back.
She raised the knife, ready to thrust it into her cheek, when suddenly a blinding white headlight swept across...
The car door was kicked open violently, and a tall, lean figure strode in from the factory entrance. As he entered, the temperature around him seemed to drop.
It was as if an invisible net had been spread overhead, pressing down so heavily that Emily could hardly breathe.
She clutched Keith tightly, retreating continuously., "Don't come any closer! Ivan, don't come any closer. Your son is in my hands..."
Ivan stood by Haley's side and snatched the knife from her hand with a swift motion.
"I will save my son myself. I don't need you to intervene."
His voice was cold, but Haley perceived a hint of warmth in it.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "Emily has lost her mind; we can't communicate with her like a normal person."
"I know. You stand aside and leave everything to me."
van wavedWith a wave of his hand, usheringIvan moved her behind him for protection.
As she watchedWatching the two of them converse privately,talk as if no one else mattered, a bloody fire seemed to seep from Emily's eyes seemed to smolder with a fierce, simmering anger..
Her hand tightened around Keith's neck, causing the child to let out another muffled groan...
"Ivan!" Emily shouted, "I've come this far without planning an escape route! You have two choices;: ei: either let Haley disfigure herself or let Keith die. Choose between your woman and your son!"
Ivan's lips curved into a cold smile., "What if I don't want to choose either?"
"If you won't decidedon't choose, then I'll make the choiceI will choose for you,"." Emily declared, liftinglifted Keith with, her bright red nails digging into his tender neck.., "Dying alongside the heir of the Winston family doesn't sound too wouldn't won't be such a bad, does it option, right?"
As soon as she spoke, Emily finished speaking, she noticed Ivan's hand inching towardsmove toward his lower back.
InShe recalled with a sudden jolt of realization, she remembered that Ivan had a gun..!
She had once sneaked into his room and found a dark weapon in his bedside drawer, which terrified her so much that she never dared to sneak into that room again...
"Ivan, hand over your gun!" Emily's voice trembled., "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have a gun; Keith is in my hands. With a little pressure, his neck would be cut. You can gamble to see whether your bullet is faster or my knife."
She was losing control of her strength, the blade pressing into Keith's neck and drawing a line of blood. The blood trickled down Keith's neck, starkly visible under the harsh headlight.
Haley, in a panic, moved a few steps forward.
Ivan grabbed her arm and pulled out the black weapon from his lower back.
He tossed it forward and said indifferently, "There, I've handed it over. Now what?"
Emily glanced at the dark object on the ground, feeling that she would never be at peace unless she held it in her own hands.
Dragging Keith with her, she slowly moved toward the gun.
