wete. Finley began anxiously, but Neville walked past him without a glance as it hav\u00a0<\/p>\n
non stood his ground at the bottom of the stairs, meeting his brother\u2019s gaze without Neville what is the meaning of this? Breaking into my home in the middle of the nighttre\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neville didn\u2019t answer immediately. He advanced on Paxton, each heavy footstep radiating An oppressive aura that chilled the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica, seeing an expression on Neville she had never witnessed before, felt a knot of fear tighte her stomach. She instinctively tugged on her husband\u2019s sleeve, her voice trembling. \u201cPaxton\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Paxton remained resolute, standing tall as Neville closed the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here to show you what I\u2019m doing,\u201d Neville said, stopping directly in front of his brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through Paxton\u2019s abdomen. His eyes widened in disbelief. He looked down and saw a sharp knife buried deep in his stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Paxton gasped, trying to speak, but the agony shattered his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neville watched him coldly, then pulled the knife out. He caught Paxton as he swayed, leaning in to whisper in his ear, \u201cNow do you know why I broke into your home tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was as frigid as the grave, empty of all emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blood dripped from the blade, spattering onto the floor in gruesome blossoms. Only then did Vivica comprehend what had happened. She covered her mouth and shrieked, \u201cMy God! What are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With his remaining strength, Paxton shoved Neville away, clutching his bleeding stomach. He never imagined his brother would actually use a knife, and the shock had left him completely defenseless. Neville, holding the bloody knife, stared at him. \u201cSapphira is missing. Did you have something to do with it? If she is harmed in any way, I will make you pay a hundred times over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton felt his strength failing, unable to respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica rushed to support him. \u201cNeville! What proof do you have that Paxton is behind Sapphira\u2019s disappearance? How could you attack him like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley tried to step forward, but Neville\u2019s bodyguards blocked his path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what he did, and so do you,\u201d Neville said, his voice low and dangerous. \u201cThis knife was jus warning. If you ever dare to touch Sapphira again, I won\u2019t hesitate to end your entire family\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he turned and left the west wing villa, the bloody knife still in his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica watched the blood seeping from her husband\u2019s wound. \u201cFinley get the father needs help!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Snapping out of his shock, Finley ran to summon the Judson family\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 343\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving the west wing, Neville didn\u2019t return to his own villa. He got into his car and sat there for a long time, the engine off. He tossed the bloody knife aside and covered his face with his hands, a tremor of fear running through him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he had received Larissa\u2019s call about Sapphira\u2019s kidnapping, his world had nearly collapsed. He had been too complacent, too trusting. He never thought his own brother would be capable of such a\u00a0<\/p>\n
thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
