Chapter 349 Most Important Person In My Life

Charles froze, realizing the gravity of the situation.

The topic at hand was undeniably significant. As a man, he couldn’t afford to lose his ability.

The room fell into a tense silence once again.

Charles carefully pondered his options and finally spoke up. “How about this? Let’s both take a step back While I cannot release Nico without consequences, I am willing to spare his life.”

Gwendolyn frowned as she responded sternly. “I want you to record yourself, swearing that you will not bring harm to Nico and that you will hand over the antidote after the wedding. Failure to do so will result in your eternal damnation.”

“Okay, I will do as you say,” Charles replied, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Gwendolyn swiftly retrieved his phone from his pocket and opened the recording app.

With unwavering sincerity, Charles followed her instructions precisely, swearing with the utmost conviction.

Gwendolyn felt that Charles’ initial oath lacked sufficient weight. Hence, she added, “I want you to include a clause stating that if you break your word, Her Highness and Mr. Newton will suffer the same fate as you.”

Charles’ expression hardened. “Isn’t that going too far, Gwen?”

“How else can I ensure your commitment if I don’t push the boundaries? I know how much they mean to you, so I will only believe you if you swear on their behalf!”

Charles fell silent, his expression tense.

Blood trickled down his neck as Gwendolyn’s needle lightly grazed it, delivering a silent and menacing threat.

Resigned, Charles flashed a faint smile and replied, “All right, I’ll do it.”

He then followed Gwendolyn’s instructions and swore with sincerity.

Gwendolyn saved the recording to her cloud and retracted the silver needle from her ring.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the air.

Gwendolyn looked up to see that Charles’ guard had activated his stun gun. Both Jonah and Nico lay unconscious on the ground, as Nico had been holding Jonah hostage.
