Sheldon merely trembled a little even though there was a pistol at his forehead. Soon, he calmed down again.

His body was still as firm and steady as an oak tree.

Sheldon said, "Mr. Tremaine, even if you decide to shoot me today, it would be I who deserved it, and I will have no word of complaint."

Tremaine snorted, "Sheldon, I wouldn't have expected that you would betray me. What a huge surprise that you've given me! You're my sworn brother who's gone through life and death with me. How could you betray me? How could you keep me in the dark the whole time?"

There was a hint of pain in Sheldon's eyes. "Mr. Tremaine, I have investigated the accident on the train, and I found out that it was Lessie who did it. I've struggled and thought a lot about whether or not should I expose her, but..."

"But Lessie is my only sister. I understand that what she did is a deadly crime, Sir, but in the end, I still chose to be selfish."

This time, the punishment that Tremaine gave Lessie was different from what Sheldon expected.

He thought that his sister would definitely be sentenced to death for what she did.

It was why he had kept Tremaine in the dark all the while.

Lessie and himself were the only remnants of the Hawls family left on earth.

As a soldier, he had to be on the battlefield at any time. Although they were living in peaceful times, a war might still break out anytime.

What's more, he had to protect Tremaine, so he was always risking death.

In other words, he could lose his life at any time.

And if Lessie were to lose her life, Sheldon was afraid that the Hawls family would disappear for good.

"I've warned Lessie before, but I didn't expect her to cause another incident. That time, I'd spoken harshly to her. But I didn't expect..." Sheldon's eyes turned red. "Mr. Tremaine, Lessie was a b*stard. I'm really sorry!" Then he suddenly reached out to Tremaine and said, "Mr. Tremaine, I don't want to dirty your hands. Let me do it myself."

Tremaine's tone of voice was so cold that frost was brushing past Sheldon's cheeks. "Sheldon Hawls, do you think that I will let you go because you're acting pitifully? Do you think that I wouldn't kill you when you do so?"

After that, Tremaine threw the pistol straight to Sheldon. "You should know that I, Tremaine Quartley, have never been a soft-hearted person!"

Sheldon took the pistol.

He aimed the pistol right at his forehead.

Before pulling the trigger, Sheldon said his last words.

I didn't expect you to spare her life with such generosity. You've done me a favor that I can only repay in my next life!"
