Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 540:

“Think, Jeffrey! If you kill me, you’ll pay the price too. Do you really think your sister would want you to be sentenced to death for this?” Her words struck a nerve.

Jeffrey stopped in his tracks, hesitation flickering in his eyes. But it didn’t last. Gritting his teeth, he growled, “It doesn’t matter. My life means nothing. As long as I can get justice for her, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Realizing that Jeffrey was beyond reason, Tracy scrambled to come up with a way out. Raising her voice, she broke into sobs. “Please, I beg you! I was wrong! It’s all my fault! Don’t do this—just calm down!”

It didn’t take long for the noise to draw attention from outside. But since this was Brian’s office, no one dared to barge in. Instead, they rushed off to find him.

When Brian arrived, the door was still shut, but Tracy’s desperate sobs carried through. “Please! Don’t kill me! I swear, I didn’t seduce him. You’re mistaken!”

Jeffrey wasn’t listening anymore. He tightened his grip on the knife and kept moving forward.

At that moment, the door burst open.

“Brian, help me!” Tracy shrieked, running straight into Brian’s arms, looking utterly pathetic. “I was so scared… I thought I was going to die!”
