Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 339

Shannon lay in her hospital bed, immobilized by multiple broken bones, her eyes red with hatred as they fixed on Pierre beside her. He wore a hat and a mask, leaving only his cold, predatory eyes visible.

"Pierre, you've ruined me!" she spat.

Pierre's eyes glinted coldly like a venomous snake sizing up its prey.

"The things you did have nothing to do with me." He sneered. "And when did I ever tell you to kill someone?"

His eyes were sharp with disdain. "What I wanted wasn't a corpse, Shannon. You're really useless. You're on your own now."

But before walking out, he glanced back at Shannon. "I don't understand the law, but I'm curious. Will attempted murder and all your other crimes lead to a death sentence?

"Everyone from the Bolton family, except for your brother, has gone abroad. I highly doubt Michael will care about you. After all, he went to see Kieran last night. Who would dare oppose someone like that, huh?"

Shannon's face went pale as she realized how far off-track her actions had been. Even her parents-the people who once cared for her-were beyond forgiveness.

"Pierre! Your end will be ugly!"

Pierre glanced back with a cold smirk. "I never forced you into what you did. What reason do you have to curse me?"

As Shannon watched his retreating figure, blood suddenly spurted from her mouth. With a sharp cry, she collapsed lifelessly.
