Chapter 249 On The Brink

Chapter 249 On The Brink

Sidonic’s breath snagged in her throat. What is he doing? Color drained from her cheeks until she looked carved from wax. Julius was going to hurl her into the river–No, no, he can’t. If he truly let go…

Cold sweat burst across her skin, trickling in nervous rivulets while her mind spun through every awful possibility that waited below.

“No–let go, let go!” she cried, clawing at Julius’s hand locked around her throat.

She yanked at his long, jointed fingers, but they did not budge. They gripped firmly enough to guide her, not enough to crush her windpipe. Bit by bit, he cased her past the stone balustrade. One more inch and she would topple.

A glance at the churning current told her that the weak strokes she had once learned would be useless out there.

“Trent, help me!” Sidonie’s voic

PwCracked as she hurled the plea across the roar of water.

Trent’s gaze flickered, conflict storming behind his eyes. The truth from all those years ago pressed against his ribs, threatening to burst free.

“Trent, I know you believe me, don’t you? You promised–you said you trusted me!”

“Julius, let her go. Whoever pulled me out back then, it has nothing to do with you. But if you push Sidonie into the river and something happens, do you really think prison won’t come for you?” Trent shouted.

Julius answered coolly, “Nothing to do with me? My girlfriend was called a liar–of course, it concerns me. I’m proving she told the truth. Watch and see whether I end up behind bars after Sidonie falls?

“You’re insane–absolutely mad!” Trent’s face tightened.

Trent lunged forward, but two of Julius‘ men slammed him to the ground and pinned his arms.

Julius‘ lips curved in a faint smile. People had long called his family deranged, and perhaps they were. If so, he would gladly reserve every ounce of madness for Quinn alone.

Trent turned to Quinn, desperate. “Quinn, stop him! If Sidonie falls, I’ll never forgive-”

“During our marriage, I cared what you said because you were the man I chose to share my life with. Now? You’re nothing to me.” Her voice was frigid enough to frost the air.

An icy shudder ran through Trent. The loathing in her eyes sliced deeper than the river ever could.
