Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 648

In the apartment—

As time passed, Kobi still hadn't arrived yet.

Kevin started to feel anxious and he glared at Emily in the corner. "If he doesn't come, I'll kill you first!"

But she didn't seem to hear him. Her eyes were empty.

"Darren! Is everything ready?" Kevin shouted loudly.

Darren came out of the bedroom and replied, "Yeah, but are you sure you wanna do that?"

Kevin snorted. "Of course! Kobi not only tried to scheme against me, but he even tried to kill me vicariously through Jimmy. So how could I not take revenge?"

With that, Darren had nothing to say. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Pausing for a while, Kevin then said, "Anyway, thanks for helping this time. I'll repay your favor in the future."

"Nah, I help you because I don't wanna owe you anymore." If it hadn't been for Kevin who had saved his life, he would have been dead.

Just as Kevin was about to say something, the doorbell rang, to which he responded with a bloodthirsty excitement and said, "He's here!"

Emily, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously looked towards the door.

"I didn't expect you to be a little useful after all," Kevin glanced at her and said, "Kobi is willing to come to save you. How surprising is that."

Meanwhile, Darren opened the door, and suddenly, a gun was pointed at him, followed by Kobi's warning. "Don't move."

Darren looked behind him. "Did you come alone?"

However, Kobi couldn't be bothered to answer. "Where's Emily?"

In the living room, Emily, who heard his voice, began to struggle.

Kevin shouted, "Take him in."

Darren gave ways to Kobi and gestured for him to come in. In the meantime, the gun was still pointed at Darren's head, though Darren didn't seem to be afraid of it and looked indifferent still.

On the other hand, Kevin used Emily as his shield and stared coldly at Kobi, commanding, "Put down your gun."

Kobi glanced at Emily. Her mouth was sealed with tape, and she looked haggard. There were tears rolling down her cheek.

Pursing his lips, he did not move.

Seeing that, Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not gonna put it down?"

Kobi stared at him indifferently. "Let her go."

Kevin sneered.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Emily widened her eyes. The pain caused her to break into cold sweats.

Instantly, Kobi got furious and yelled, "Kevin!"

Withdrawing his gun, Kevin said with a smile, "Now, I only shot her in the leg. But next time, the bullet will shoot through her head."

He was forcing Kobi to give up his weapon.

Soon, Kobi threw away his gun and asked, "Now what?"

Kevin raised his chin and motioned for Darren to pick up the gun, which Darren did. Then, Darren came to him with a dark look and said, "You've promised me not to hurt innocent people. Why did you break your word?"

"Well, he wouldn't have listened to me if I hadn't done this."

With a frown, Kevin then added, "Besides, she's not dead. It was just a gunshot wound."

Darren looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing. Then, he went to get a medical kit to bandage Emily's wound. "It might hurt a little. Please bear with it for a second."

Watching Darren doing that, Kobi frowned.

Meanwhile, Kevin glanced at Kobi and commented, "Well, Darren is more kind- hearted than me. In the past few days, he has taken great care of Emily, so why don't you say thank you to him?"

However, he looked frivolous as he said that, as if hinting that there was something going on between Darren and Emily.

Angered, Emily glared at him.

Darren also shot him a glance and warned, "Enough."

Sitting in the wheelchair, Kevin shrugged and raised his gun. Then, he looked at Kobi coldly as he said, "Although you'd schemed everything, you've never thought that it would end up like this, have you?"

"What do you want?" Kobi merely looked at him expressionlessly.

"I want to kill you," Kevin said without concealing, "And then, I may disappear for a while to recover from my injury, or maybe I will disguise as you and go to live in your home, planning for my next step."

Hearing that, Kobi shook his head. "Nah, that's not very likely since Jimmy is already suspicious of me.

Kevin frowned and looked at him. "What do you mean?"

With laughter, Kobi explained, "What I mean is that it will be very difficult for you to deal with Jimmy after this. He has always been careful. After this incident, he will only be more vigilant."

With a pause, he then added, "But I know a way for you to get close to Jimmy again."

"Oh, really?" But then, Kevin burst into laughter and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"How so?"

"You'd once fooled me. Do you think I will fall for it twice?"

"But you have no other choice besides continuing to cooperate with me," Jimmy looked him in the eyes and said.

"Now, everyone is looking for you. Although they didn't put this on the TV, secretly, they have sent the police and undercovers lying low in most of the hospitals, waiting for you to show up."

Saying that, Kobi then looked around the room. "Kevin, your injuries are quite serious. I bet you'll have to go to the hospital."

Gradually, Kevin's face darkened.

He was angry because what Kobi had said was true.

"He's trying to stall for time."

Abruptly, Darren, who had been standing aside in silence, spoke.

Kevin was stunned. "What?"

Pointing at Kobi, Darren said, "Ever since he came in, he has been reading the clock on the wall no less than three times. If I'm not wrong, he's stalling for time."

Kevin was furious. He pointed his gun at Kobi and asked, "What are you plotting?"

Surprised, Kobi took a glance at Darren and tensed up a little.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room froze.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the front door was broke open.

And a group of well-trained men broke in. The leader was a cold- looking man with sharp features and a pair of dark eyes.

It was Jimmy.

"Don't move!"

"And stay where you are!"

Behind Jimmy was a group of armed policemen. Soon, they surrounded the people in the room.

Kevin's gaze fell on Kobi. "You were stalling for time, waiting for Jimmy to come! Very well, I've never thought that you two would work together to deal with me!"

He'd blundered!

And he didn't expect that the brothers would join hands to take out on him.
