Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 381 Night of Decision (Part Three)

Molly looked at Jenifer, horrified. Her breath stuck in her throat. There were no words to describe her fury. 'How dare she threaten to hurt the people I care about?' Molly thought furiously. Turning to Jennifer she asked through clenched teeth, "Jenifer, why are you being so cruel? What on earth are you planning to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Jenifer sneered, "Okay, let me tell it to you straight. I just want Edgar to be settled in the State Parliament. If he loses this time, Grandpa will give up on him. When that happens, he has no other option but to die!"

Molly stared dumbly at Jenifer. Nothing she had just said made sense to her. With a look of puzzlement in her face, she asked, "You want Edgar to be in the State Parliament, then what does it have to do with Daniel and Brian?"

Jenifer smiled contemptuously. "It had nothing to do with Daniel or Brian. It's all because of you!" Her eyes hardened. "Molly, Edgar came to A City in the hopes of achieving his goal and fulfilling his dream. But after you showed up, all his plans went up in smoke. He lost his passion to fight for power. He even abandoned his dream of claiming A City casino after he found out about your illicit affair with Brian. In the past, he sacrificed his freedom for you. And now, he is sacrificing his future career and even his life, for you! Molly, you are a threat to everyone around you. You are the true menace. Because of your selfishness, you put everyone that cares about you in danger!"

Hate spewed out from Jenifer's eyes. Thinking about Edgar deepened her anger towards Molly.

The angry words hit Molly hard and made her think. She knew that Edgar will always have a place in her heart. She also knew that it wasn't only because of the way he protected her since she was a little girl. But also, because he was the first man she ever worshiped and felt intimate with.

She had no idea that he had sacrificed too much for her sake. Ever since she met Jenifer at Mr. Song's banquet, some of the pieces of the puzzle started falling into place.

Looking at Molly's remorseful expression, Jenifer's eyes narrowed in mistrust. "Molly, I would never let you hurt Edgar this time!"

After saying that, Jenifer tossed a small notepaper in her lap. There was an address scribbled in the note, the place where Jenifer wanted Molly to bring Brian tomorrow. "Don't forget to bring Brian to this address. Otherwise, come and get Daniel's body at the same place tomorrow night!" This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Slamming her foot down hard on the brake, Jenifer put the car to a stop. The car halted instantly, almost throwing Molly forward. Her forehead narrowly missed the windowpane of the car thanks to the seat belt strongly fastened in her waist

"Get out!" Jenifer barked. She didn't even give Molly a chance to steady herself.

Molly gripped the note in her hand. Looking up at Jenifer with a frown, she challenged, "If it's all because of me, then why don't you just take me and get it over with? It's me that you hate after all."

"It's true, I do hate you more than you'll ever know. But, I'm not stupid. I don't want to bring any trouble to myself." Staring into Molly's face, Jenifer sneered. "Who Brian is, we know him more than you do. You are stupid if you think we are so careless that we will just grab you and wait for Brian to come and rescue you. You are his weakness. But whoever dares to cross him never see the light of day. That is why we want you to lure him to our trap instead of coming on his own. Think about the difference. How exciting would it be once he found out that you set him up and put him in danger?"

Molly's face lost all color. Looking at Jenifer's eyes which were full of evil anticipation, she had a sudden vision of Brian being tortured mercilessly by her. She would rather die than let this evil witch harm Brian. "You are crazy if you think I'm going to serve Brian on a platter to you," she said through gritted teeth.

Jenifer gave a sinister laugh. "Well then, if that's your decision… Daniel will be the first one to die. And then Edgar!"

The shock of her words froze Molly. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked at Jenifer's serious expression. Daniel, Edgar…I won't let her hurt either of you. She's an evil woman. It's not surprising that she can plan something so horrible. But I won't let her.' Molly promised herself.

"Molly, don't think that I'm bullying you. Although now you have sunk to the bottom of life, at least you had the experience of growing up in the military compound. You should know that in order to achieve your goal, you have to give up something that you value in life. A lot of people have died in the name of politics. Sacrificing an Edgar would not even cause a small ripple. You may just as well pretend that he has gone to a place far away and living a wonderful life to appease your conscience. Maybe you think that Brian is far more important, that no one can replace his weight in your heart. I know fully well that you have fallen head over heels with that man. Then leave Daniel and Edgar be, and live happily ever after with Brian. It's all up to you, Brian or Daniel and Edgar? Who lives or dies, it's your choice! Now get the hell out of my car!" Jenifer shouted shrilly.

Without waiting for Molly's response, she reached over and opened the side door. Pushing Molly's arm, she thrust her out of the car and pulled the door shut. She drove off, leaving a cloud of smoke on her wake.

Molly stared helplessly at the disappearing car. She couldn't believe what just transpired. She hoped that it was just a bad dream and that she would wake up soon. Looking down on her clenched fist she found the crumpled note, the proof that this was all real and not just a dream. She clutched her chest which felt like it's about to explode. All of it looked all so unfair. How could she choose between the man she loved, her brother and her childhood protector? She couldn't forgive herself if any one of them got hurt because of her. She could feel a hysterical laughter rising from her throat, but she fought it, forcing herself to calm down. Looking around, she realized that the place where Jenifer dropped her was not too far from the Dragon Empire Group Hospital.
