Chapter 521 The Game Officially Begins
Antonio watched as her repugnant face drew closer.
He struggled violently, but the bodyguards behind him held him down, leaving him unable to move. His jawline was taut, and his muscles were twitching subtly.
With nowhere to hide, Antonio spat the blood in his mouth onto her face, "Go to hell!"
In an instant, Serene's face was covered in blood, looking both horrifying and bizarre.
She closed her eyes, seemingly unable to accept such treatment.
After taking a deep breath, she slapped Antonio, "I love you so much; why won't you accept it?!"
On the other side, Sarah, who was hanging from a tree, was watching the completely deranged Serene.
Her heart was aching, and she was falling into a deep panic, but her mouth was sealed with tape, leaving her only able to make "mm-mm-mm" sounds.
Hearing this, Antonio's heart felt like it was shattering. He immediately shouted, "Sarah! Don't be afraid! Hold on... I won't let anything happen to you!"
He watched helplessly as the woman he loved was hanging by a thread. He could do nothing and even had to face such humiliation from Serene.
This was the most humiliating and frustrating moment in Antonio's life.
He berated himself for not seeing through Serene's deceptive facade from the beginning. Now that he had nurtured a snake in his own backyard, he wished he could go back in time and shake some sense into his past self for allowing Serene to get so close.
But there was no time for regret now. Antonio forced himself to calm down, speaking solemnly, "Serene, you've done all this because you want something. Why take things to the extreme? Let's talk."
Seeing him regain his usual cool and confident demeanor, Serene's enthusiasm dampened.
"Other than you, there's nothing I want. Today's spectacle is merely a game I wanted to play with you. Look."
She pointed with a finger towards Sarah and Kevin, who were hanging from the cliff. "Isn't this game thrilling? They're enjoying the view while we have our intimate moment... Isn't it fun?"
"Don't delude yourself!"
Serene chuckled lightly, "Antonio, I've always admired you. It's not just your looks that have captured my heart, but your intelligent mind that I find most captivating."
Antonio furrowed his brows, "What are you trying to say?"
Serene stood up and leisurely strode forward.
"Of course, I'm praising you! I've done so many things and yet even the police couldn't easily uncover my schemes, but you discovered everything. Doesn’t that make you intelligent?"
A wicked smile played on her lips, "Since you're so smart, I believe you'll make the right decision when facing a matter of life and death."
A sudden sense of dread washed over Antonio, leaving his scalp tingling.
"What choice?"
Serene strolled to the side, picked up a remote control, and gently pressed a button, "Of course, it's a choice between two."
Upon hearing this, Antonio felt his blood run cold. Was Serene asking him to choose between Sarah and Kevin?!
Serene saw the hatred in his eyes but didn't get angry. She walked back, standing over him with a superior air.
She casually twirled the remote in her hand.
"You see, Sarah and Kevin are hanging there. If the rope breaks... it would be quite unfortunate."
Serene feigned sadness and squatted in front of Antonio, "They would fall, shatter to pieces, and get carried away into the sea. We might not even be able to recover their bodies."
Antonio's lips trembled, "I'll take their place. Let them go, and you can hang me there."
"Tsk... What's the point then?"
Serene looked at him discontentedly, "Now, I've left their fates in your hands. Who lives and who dies is up to you. See... I truly love you, don't I?"
Antonio closed his eyes in despair.
This woman had truly lost her mind. There was no sign that she was joking on her face; her twisted and venomous appearance was like that of an ugly monster.
Sarah, hanging afar, heard everything she said and couldn't believe it.
Her eyes widened and tears uncontrollably fell as fear slowly filled her heart.
She glanced subconsciously at her father, who was hanging beside her, still unconscious.
Her father's health had always been poor. How could he withstand this torture?!
And Antonio... she could see that Antonio was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Serene... Do you really want to be sentenced to death? There's still a chance if you stop now. As long as you let them go..."
"Let go?!"
As Antonio was trying to dissuade her, Serene's face changed.
Her sudden coldness made her appear more like a deranged lunatic, "I've gone through so much trouble to get you all here; how could I just let it end like this?"
"I’m the one who decides when this starts, and I’m the one who decides when this ends!"
With that, Serene threw the remote control in front of Antonio.
"The game officially starts now! You only have two minutes to decide who gets to live and who dies!"
