Elaine was taken aback by the sinister scheme devised by the father and son!

With a voice full of fury, she shouted, “You two are more monstrous than any beast! I swear, I’ll fight you to the bitter end!”

In response, Justin struck Elaine across the face, grinning wickedly as he spat, “Damn you! B*tch! You’d better watch your mouth!”

He then seized Elaine by her hair and began to drag her toward the bedroom.

Elaine struggled fiercely, while Claire yearned to help her. However, Jason firmly gripped Claire’s arm, preventing her from intervening.

Justin, taken aback by Elaine’s fierce spirit and strong will, bellowed furiously, “You really think I won’t shoot you, you B*tch?”

Just then, Jason chimed in, “Dad, Charlie could show up any minute. If you don’t finish this before he arrives, I might not be able to handle him alone.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Justin kicked Elaine aside and coldly declared, “Fine. I’ll take care of your son-in-law first and then deal with you!”

Fear coursed through Elaine as she realized that Charlie represented her only hope. If he could find a way to rescue them both, there was a chance for their survival. If he failed, the likelihood of all three of them meeting a grim fate today was high.

As these thoughts consumed her, tears streamed down Elaine’s face, filled with deep regret.

What had led her to this point?

***

Before long, Charlie, desperate to save Claire, arrived at the riverside villa.

The moment he stepped out of the car, he immediately dialed Claire’s cell phone. When the call connected, Jason coldly asked, “Did you come here alone?”

Charlie quickly replied, “Yes, I came alone!”

Jason approached the window, peering out at the yard, and said, “The gate is unlocked. Come in, but don’t pull any tricks! I want your hands over your head when you enter. If you don’t, I’ll shoot Claire!”

“Understood.” Charlie agreed without hesitation, pushing open the gate and raising his hands as he made his way through the courtyard.

Seeing Charlie arrive solo, Jason felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Once Charlie reached the door, Jason tossed him a pair of handcuffs and commanded, “Put those on! No funny business!”

At that moment, Claire cried out, “Charlie! Don’t go in there! They’re going to kill you!”

Charlie shot her a reassuring glance from a distance, but inside, he was consumed by the urge to eliminate Jason.

Today was the day he would take action!

Without uttering a word, Charlie quickly cuffed his wrists and raised his hands, asking, “Are you satisfied now?”

Jason chuckled just as Justin emerged from the villa, brandishing a pistol. Pointing it at Charlie, he commanded, “Step inside.”

Charlie replied coolly, “Alright, I’ll go in.”

With that, both men entered the villa.

At that moment, Jason was filled with exhilaration!

This was the day he had long awaited, the moment he had been anticipating—finally, the chance to eliminate his adversary!
