However, Tyrone turned her down immediately. “Even if I let him off the hook, I can’t promise you that the other Garrison family members will do the same!”
“Tyrone Garrison! If you don’t promise me this, I’ll expose that secret of yours to the world!” Emma suddenly exclaimed.
“You…”
Tyrone’s tone underwent a profound change when he heard that.
He roared angrily, “So much for your promise to love me for the rest of your life and to keep my secret forever! How dare you threaten to expose it to the world now, you wretched b*tch!”
Emma was forced into a corner. “I’m willing to do almost anything if it means saving my son’s life. If there’s anything that can get him out, I’ll do it!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll let him off, alright? I’ll make sure to keep him alive. But there’s still a problem—how will I know that you won’t use this secret to threaten me again?” Tyrone asked.
“I swear I’ll never use this secret against you again!”
However, Tyrone replied in a low and dangerous voice, “Preposterous. I’ve long understood that only the dead can keep secrets.”
A shiver ran through Emma’s body. She felt a little panicked by the implications of his words.
“Alright, here’s my proposal. Trade your life with your son’s. When Levi makes it out of there, I’ll send someone to fetch you back to Oakland City!”
There was no way Tyrone would allow his secret to be leaked to the public.
This had never been a source of concern for him before, because Emma loved him way too much and would take his secret to her grave rather than exposing him to the world.
However, now that her son’s life was at stake, it was a different story altogether.
Hence, Emma needed to die.
“Fine. I promise you!”
In order to save her son’s life, Emma didn’t care if she lived or died anymore.
…
Back at the villa in North Hampton, Levi smiled as he gazed at the hundreds of warriors surrounding him.
Blandly, he announced, “Today is my wedding day, so the last thing I want to see is bloodshed. However, some people are pushing me too far! I have no choice but to pull out all stops and kill all of you.”
Damien laughed shrilly. “Levi Garrison, that silly bravado of yours has always been a source of admiration for me! Look where you are now. Do you still dare to make those silly proclamations of yours?”
“And guess what, I arranged for all this to happen today, just for you!”
“Six years ago on this very day, you had your limbs broken by my men and were left for dead on the streets. Today, I’ll see to it that you’re beaten to death! Haha…life comes a full circle, doesn’t it?”
Damien threw his head back and guffawed.
Dexter was livid.
This devil is downright disgusting!
What a tyrant!
Damien’s subordinates laughed next to him. “Hey, kid, did you bring the coffin, gravestone, and funeral wreath we gave you earlier today? We prepared that especially for you!”
Levi’s expression remained placid. He said, “Damien, the biggest mistake you made in your life was to come to North Hampton!”
“Hmm! A mistake?” Damien asked in confusion.
“Because you’re going to die! Even though it’s my wedding day today, I’m going to bash your head in and make sure I decorate these walls with your intestines!”
Levi had already made up his mind to kill him.
Damien must die!
“Men, go…”
Just as Damien was going to order his men to kill Levi, he received a phone call from his father.
“What? Are you serious? But why? Oh, alright…I understand…Father…”
Damien hung up the phone and gazed at Levi with disbelief.
Vincent urged him, “Mr. Damien, your orders, please!”
To their surprise, Damien waved a hand dismissively and snapped, “Alright, that’s enough. We won’t be killing Levi Garrison today.”
“Huh?”
Everyone was stunned.
Why did he suddenly change his mind about killing Levi?
In a very disgruntled voice, Damien grumbled, “Levi, count yourself lucky for escaping death today. I won’t be killing you for now. As for Dexter, you can have him, too. So there!”
He didn’t understand why his father had suddenly ordered him to spare Levi’s life.
Back then, his father had also given him the order to murder Levi without much explanation, either.
However, Levi didn’t move from his spot. He glared angrily at Damien and spat, “That won’t do! You might not want to kill me anymore, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let you off the hook!”
