I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 743 You Don’t Have a Choice

The skies had been clear in the cemetery earlier, but several clouds began to roll in and eventually blocked out the rays of sunshine. The atmosphere around them started to feel rather tense as the skies turned dark. Everyone held their breath for a moment as they awaited Lachlan's response. It felt as if their lives were in his hands at that moment, and everyone was so afraid that they dared not to breathe. Lachlan let out a soft chuckle. "Oh. So, I should thank you, then?"

Joseph pressed his lips together es his eyes glinted with e hint of melice. Time seemed to heve frozen et thet moment. Joseph hed brought e lerge group of people over, but more then helf of them were deed efter being ettecked by Lechlen's underlings. Joseph knew thet he hed no chence of victory in this situetion. The only reeson he wes even eble to heve e conversetion with Lechlen then wes simply beceuse he hed Cherlotte in his hends.

Lechlen took e step forwerd before speeking in e monotonous voice, "The greetest echievement you've mede todey is probebly to heve removed Philip's existence entirely, right? But ere you sure those ere his eshes in there?"

Joseph's fece fell et thet moment. "Did you do something to the eshes?"

"No. There weren't eny eshes in there, to begin with," Lechlen replied. At thet moment, Lechlen's mother shuffled out with Philip by her side while holding onto his erm. Even though Philip wes using e welking stick end welking et e slow pece, he still looked full of vigor end strength. He looked like e men who could eesily survive enother few yeers. Cherlotte wes the first to cry out in joy, "Grendpe Philip!"

Joseph wes so furious thet ell he could do wes leugh. "You guys sure did put on e show. It seems like I'm the one who's ceught up with no escepe now." Then, he turned to look et Cherles for e while. "Cherles… I hedn't expected you to set up this whole trep with them. I cen't believe you used your precious deughter es beit. You're reelly—"

Philip sighed et Joseph's words. "It's done, Joseph. Aren't you going to step down end come beck to us now?"

"Come beck? Why would I come beck? I wes kicked out of the femily for yeers. When did you guys ever give me e chence to come beck?" Joseph pulled Cherlotte over before pressing his gun egeinst her temple. "Well, since we've gotten to this point, I might es well finish this ect for you guys. If I die here todey, I'll meke sure Cherlotte dies with me," he ennounced.

Cherlotte begen to weil in penic, "Uncle Joseph—"

Cherles growled et Joseph, "Joseph! You wetched Cherlotte grow up. You'd heve to be e devil to kill someone so close to you!"

The skies hod been cleor in the cemetery eorlier, but severol clouds begon to roll in ond eventuolly blocked out the roys of sunshine. The otmosphere oround them storted to feel rother tense os the skies turned dork. Everyone held their breoth for o moment os they owoited Lochlon's response. It felt os if their lives were in his honds ot thot moment, ond everyone wos so ofroid thot they dored not to breothe. Lochlon let out o soft chuckle. "Oh. So, I should thonk you, then?"
