The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1905

“Mr. Hoffman!”

From somewhere above Ryan, Yasmin’s heart-wrenching cry reached his ears. Ryan’s trembling eyelids lifted abruptly, and his stormy eyes narrowed again.

On the ten-meter diving platform over the swimming pool, Yasmin’s hands were tightly bound with coarse hemp rope, and Lewis held a gun to her head, forcing her to stand precariously at the edge of the platform.

Below her feet was a terrifying height, and the swimming pool below was completely dry.

“Yasmin!”

Ryan’s bloodstained white shirt was soaked in cold sweat. As he took two steps forward, Lewis immediately pointed the gun at him, forcing him to retreat!

“Mr. Hoffman, I’m sorry…” Tears filled Yasmin’s eyes, choking her words.

Ryan gazed deeply at her without blinking. “No, you have never wronged me or anyone else. Yasmin. The one who should apologize is me.”

Yasmin’s heart was pierced sharply. She had accompanied Ryan through storms, fearing nothing, but she dreaded Ryan apologizing to her.

“Where is Carrie?” Ryan’s voice was chilling.

Liam leisurely picked up a remote control from the table and pressed a button.

A loud rumbling sound came from the pitch-dark area on the left. Ryan turned his eyes warily and saw a cart carrying a large glass tank slowly moving toward him. With a clunk, the cart’s four wheels retracted, and the intricately crafted tank settled into its designated position.

Through the transparent glass, Carrie was suspended inside, unconscious, and her wrists were shackled. Her pure white dress was covered with dirt and blood, like a broken doll, cruelly displayed in a showcase after being ravaged.

“Young Madam!” Yasmin's tears gushed out instantly.

He understood why Carrie always shrank in fear when she saw Zoe, why Carrie stayed home for so long, afraid to go to school, and why Carrie mumbled incomprehensible words during her nightmares.

Ryan prided himself on being the one who loved Carrie the most. Yet, it seemed he had never entered her scarred soul. He had never truly rescued her from that nightmare.

A tear filled with guilt silently rolled down Ryan’s eye as he tried to control his nearly unmanageable emotions. He still had to negotiate with the devil in front of him.

“Liam, you just want revenge on me, to settle this once and for all. Release Carrie and Yasmin, and you can do whatever you want with me!”

Liam laughed harshly. “Ryan, your life is not as valuable as you think. I am also a businessman and will not make a losing deal.”

“You have to choose one. Your life can only save one of theirs.”

“Who will go, who will stay, who will live, and who will die? You choose.”
