Chapter 1826 The First And Final Time

Upon seeing their long-time good friend dying a tragic death, Desmond and Theodore both saw red.

They were on the verge of losing their tempers when Nathaniel walked over to their backs and patted

them on the shoulders heavily. In a solemn voice, he advised, “You should both consider carefully before

acting. Are you really going to turn on me because of someone who betrayed you both?”

“Are you saying that it was Vincent who leaked our information out? That’s impossible!” Desmond

countered at once.

Nathaniel wasn’t in the mood to explain things to them; thus, he drawled, “Feel free to think about it.

There’s plenty of time if you want to avenge him. But now…”

At that, he abruptly trailed off. Spinning around, he took the gun from the killer and pointed it at Ramona,

who hadn’t said a single word, across the table.

That struck such stark fear into Theodore that he descended into a panic. His gaze alternated between

the gun and Ramona, terrified that he would be the next person. “Why… Are you planning to kill us all

here today?”

Nathaniel ignored his words altogether, staring at Ramona with resentment brimming in his eyes.

Grounding his jaw, he spat, “Why did you do that?”

Ramona had been through hell and back and was sitting here with her own capabilities, so she showed

nary a hint of fear despite Vincent’s precedence. She calmly lit a cigarette and started puffing away

impassively, making it evident that she had no intention of explaining anything.

The fury in Nathaniel’s eyes blazed hotter. Deciding to eliminate her, he placed his finger on the trigger.

With one seized by the urge to kill and the other making no move to dodge, the result was seemingly

destined.

However, Ashton spoke up at just that precise moment. “There’s no need to put her in a difficult position.

I was the one who persuaded her to leak the locations to the cops.”

Nathaniel swiftly swung the gun sideways and aimed it right at his heart. “Great, just great! You managed

to win my trusted aide over and get her on your side in such a short time! Should I not laud you, my

dearest brother?”

“That’s enough.” Ramona snubbed the cigarette out, interrupting their confrontation. “Do you think I’m so

easily swayed? I only did that for your own good. If Uncle Garrett were to learn that you did so many

ridiculous things for this woman, you’d be the next one to die! If I hadn’t made some trouble for you,

you’d really think that you could control everything! Scarlett should have died long ago in M Country.

How are you going to explain it to him when he sees you with her?”

Every single word out of her mouth carried concern for Nathaniel. Of course, it was also the most hostile

remark she had even made toward me thus far.

Nathaniel took a deep breath, but he didn’t plan on accepting her kindness. “I have my own plans. You

shouldn’t have interfered. Since you betrayed the organization, you have to bear the consequences.”

Undeniably, he was really a heartless person. Everything Ramona did was out of consideration for him,

but all that mattered to him was cleaning house and thereby taking her life.

Ramona remained unfazed. She turned her head in disappointment as though resigned to her fate.

“Since I decided to do it, I wasn’t afraid that you’d find about it. Just do your worse.”

Sure enough, Nathaniel adjusted the angle of the gun, lining it up with her bangs-covered forehead. He

flicked the safety off and placed his finger on the trigger.

Is she really going to cross the great divide? It’s quite a pity for such a beautiful woman to die. But on

second thought, the hands of everyone in this organization are likely stained with blood. No one is

innocent.

Following that thought, I stopped worrying about it.

Surprisingly, Nathaniel ended up not pulling the trigger after contemplating for a long while.

Something seemingly occurred to him, for he suddenly put down the gun in his hand. As he turned and

headed back to me, he coldly warned, “This is the first and final time.”

Ultimately, he decided to let her go.

Everyone there didn’t expect him to actually show mercy.

Ramona stood up at seemingly the same time. Her face was ashen, and her gaze dull. As though

throwing a tantrum, she huffed, “I’m not going to thank you because I did nothing wrong! You’ve gotten

soft-hearted, Nat. It’ll kill you one day.”

After saying that, she shot me a sidelong glance before stalking off.
