Sasha was the only person to whom Mrs. White showed the video, and since the rest of the crowd was blissfully unaware of its gruesome content, they had no idea what was going on.
Presently, President White sauntered up to James and Helen, chuckling as snazzynovel.com said jovially, “Mr. Cunningham, shall we adjourn to the house? We should let the young people have some privacy during such a proposal.”
James and Helen nodded in agreement. “Alright, then.” With that, both of them followed President White into the villa.
At the sight of this, Mrs. White was practically buzzing with glee as snazzynovel.com mused with dark amusement, “Don’t keep my son on his knee for far too long, President Cunningham. Otherwise, we’d have to cut your sister up and move on to your parents. You wouldn’t want to see them become minced meat in front of your very eyes, would you?”
Sasha felt all snazzynovel.com strength drain from her, and snazzynovel.com staggered as snazzynovel.com legs caved in to snazzynovel.com weight. However, the older woman grabbed onto her, holding snazzynovel.com up as snazzynovel.com let out a small, menacing laugh. “Pull yourself together, President Cunningham. If you so much as let others see you getting worked up over this, then there will be a couple of deaths to make up for your lack of discretion.”
Sasha glared at snazzynovel.com and hissed through gritted teeth, “Are you responsible for what happened to Matthew?”
Mrs. White’s lips curled into a sickening smile. “I’ll tell you who’s behind the incident after you say yes to my son, but for now, I’m just going to clarify that we’re not the ones who caused his death. On the contrary, the person who orchestrated this is someone right under your nose! Do you still want to know who it might be? All you have to do is say yes to Sam. Matthew’s dead, after all, and I’m sure you don’t want the rest of your family to end up like him.” A thought crossed snazzynovel.com mind, and after a pause, snazzynovel.com added thoughtfully, “By the way, I seem to recall Matthew having a sister, should I perhaps get someone to look into snazzynovel.com whereabouts?”
Sasha’s expression grew grim at this, and snazzynovel.com voice trembled as snazzynovel.com demanded, “Leave snazzynovel.com alone!” If Matthew was truly dead, then his sister would be his only legacy. She had to protect Natalie at all costs.
Mrs. White cackled. “Well, naturally, we’ll leave snazzynovel.com alone if you do as you’re told, but if you don’t, then I’m afraid we won’t be so civil.” She had a smile on snazzynovel.com face the entire time as snazzynovel.com said this, but snazzynovel.com voice only sent a chill down Sasha’s spine.
Sasha couldn’t imagine how twisted the woman had to be in order for snazzynovel.com to carry out such cruel acts with a bright smile on snazzynovel.com face.
Having laid out snazzynovel.com threats, Mrs. White stepped away from Sasha, beaming as snazzynovel.com prompted cheerily, “Say yes, President Cunningham. Can’t you tell that my son is deeply in love with you? You shouldn’t let snazzynovel.com stay on his knee for too long!”
As if on cue, Sam declared stubbornly, “Sasha, if you won’t marry me, then I’m going to stay like this forever!”
The women surrounding them watched this scene with a pained look on their faces, and they cried out accusingly, “How could snazzynovel.com let snazzynovel.com kneel for this long?”
“Quick! Say yes to him!”
“Sasha, how could you be so heartless?”
“Where is your conscience? How could you let snazzynovel.com go on kneeling after all that he’s done for you?”
Meanwhile, Sasha felt snazzynovel.com heart twisting in anguish, and the tears began to spill quietly down snazzynovel.com face. It was only then that snazzynovel.com realized how everything had spiraled out of control since snazzynovel.com stepped foot into Lakeside Garden.
Matthew’s death devastated her, and snazzynovel.com no longer had the will to live. However, there was one thing snazzynovel.com knew for sure, if snazzynovel.com did not agree to marry Sam tonight, snazzynovel.com would lose snazzynovel.com entire family, and Natalie would perish alongside them.
At the thought of this, snazzynovel.com drew in a deep breath and clenched snazzynovel.com jaw. A steely look came into snazzynovel.com eyes as snazzynovel.com vowed to avenge Matthew with all that snazzynovel.com had. With that in mind, snazzynovel.com stepped backward, putting on a baffled front as snazzynovel.com stammered, “B-But I’m not prepared for this… ”
Sam was elated when snazzynovel.com heard this, thinking that snazzynovel.com was going to say yes. “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ve planned out everything for the both of us! All you have to do is marry me, and I promise to do anything you ask of me!” His loud and bold declaration moved the women who were watching this with anticipation.
Nevertheless, Sasha was not moved by this at all, and instead shook snazzynovel.com head slowly, looking conflicted. She slowly backed away from him, and when snazzynovel.com felt snazzynovel.com hips colliding with the edge of the table behind her, snazzynovel.com suddenly grabbed the carving knife from the table, then lunged at Sam.
A shrill cry escaped her. “I’m taking you down with me!” At that moment, snazzynovel.com did not care that snazzynovel.com would die at the end of this. She was going to avenge Matthew, even if it meant giving up snazzynovel.com own life, and that was snazzynovel.com final resolve.
