The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 430:

Jade said, “Ethan, what are you doing? Are you truly planning to marry this cold-blooded killer? She just killed a man! Lower your gun; let’s resolve this peacefully.”

Understanding Jade’s merciless nature well, Ethan knew she cared little for the lives of her own crew. Viper’s death didn’t matter to her.

Her anger was probably driven by his importance to her operations.

Ethan’s voice was icy as he ordered, “Tell your men to stand down, or I’ll shoot.” He increased the pressure of the gun against her head, tilting it. Jade stiffened, fearful of the gun going off.

I love you more, and I can help advance your career with my connections. I’m also not as cruel as her. Ethan, choose me. I’m the better choice for you.”

As she saw his indifference, tears welled up in her eyes, and her frustration grew.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out as Ethan fired a warning shot into the wall. “This is your last chance—drop your weapons, or I’ll put a bullet in her head.” His words were cold, and while he considered his escape options, his grip on the gun remained firm.
