Jilted Bride 263

Chapter 263

With those words, Kenneth pulled out his handgun. Bang!

The bullet hit Eric's arm, where he had been holding a gun. Thud!

The gun dropped from Eric's hand, his face turning as pale as a hect. He sneered, revealing a small fang on one side. "You're not worthy of Elia... A rich kid like you has no idea how much Ella has suffered..." Suddenly, memories of the first time Eric had met Elia rushed to his mind.

When he was a child, Eric had been beaten by his adoptive father and ran off to a small hill in Gloomhaven, where there was a church, and on the table, the pastor had left some desserts.

Hiding behind a tree, Eric saw a little girl with dirty hands reaching for the desserts.

She ate while praying.

The desserts were already spoiled, but she kept shoving them into her mouth.

Later, whenever Eric was beaten, he would run into her.

As they grew older, she taught Eric to write, and he taught her boxing.

She protected everyone around her, like the sun.

But last night, Eric had seen the light in Elia's eyes vanish for the first time.

Eric's gaze turned fierce, like a wild wolf, the corners of his lips cut from where he had bitten them. "Do you how much courage Elia had to gather... just to come to you... you're not worthy..." have any idea..

Kenneth's expression darkened so much it seemed like ink might drip from his face, with a faint streak of crimson spreading at the corners of his eyes.

He clenched his back teeth, his heart burning with fury.

"Throw him into the sea," Kenneth commanded.
