Chapter 544
"You!" Milton was so enraged that he raised his fist and about to punch him!
Patrick was still smiling. "You can give it a try and hit me.
He did not swing in the end. Milton let go of Patrick's collar and got up. He asked with a pale face, "Why did you
capture her? For wealth or lust?"
Patrick sat up straight again with jeer in his eyes. "I want Maryanne for wealth and lust? You think very highly of
her, don't you?"
Milton could not cup with any other reason. "Don't tellyou kidnapped her just because you felt like it?"
Patrick shook his slender finger and said, "She did something wrong, so | have to punish her."
"What punishment?" Milton did not ask what Maryanne had done wrong. Maryanne had always had a temper, so
it was not surprising at all that she would offend someone. What annoyed him more was that Maryanne messed
with Patrick out of all people, the devil himself!
At this moment, Maryanne's hysterical voice sounded on the screen in a shout. "I'm sorry! | know | was wrong!
Please letgo!"
Stunned, Milton quickly averted his attention back to the screen and saw that the tape on Maryanne's mouth
was torn off. Two black-clad men stood on both of her sides, one of whom cut open the hemp rope behind her
with a knife to free her hands.
"Thank you..." Feeling the freedom for movement in her wrists, Maryanne was so agitated that she could not
stop showing gratitude to them.
Just as she wanted to pull the cloth from her eyes with her trembling hands, she found her hands buckled to the
handles of the chair. Even a man like Milton could not accept what happened next!
The two men in black each grabbed each of Maryanne's wrists and turned to spread her palm facing upward.
Then, as if they were slicing a fish's belly open, they raised the military knives and pierced it through the hearts
of her palms!
"Ah!!" In a second, blood poured down from her hands like streams, and her wails could not stop...
Milton's pupils contracted, drew a cold breath. The scent of blood seemed to hit him through the screen, making
him feel light-headed.
Seeing his horror-struck face, Patrick kindly picked up the remote control and turned off the video.
After a long moment had passed, Milton clenched his fists and glared at Patrick with fury. "You'll get your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtretribution for this!"
Patrick only smiled slightly and said, "If | had told you that it was this very swoman who had pushed Amelia
down the stairs with her own hands, would you still be so righteously indignant?" Milton's voice shook as if he
had been struck by lightning. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Patrick's silence was his answer.
Milton asked in confusion, "You said Maryanne pushed Amelia down the stairs? When did that happen?"
"Don't you understand? It was the night when you asked Amelia to go to your house when you were ill!" Patrick
could not help but get riled up at the mention of Amelia.
"Maryanne... She really..." Milton was struck with disbelief. No matter how awful or willful he imagined Maryanne
to be, she should not have done something so evil!
Understanding what Milton was thinking, Patrick added sarcastically, "Do you have any expectations for
someone who framed another woman with a brooch at a birthday party?"
Milton stiffened and felt something stuck in his throat. He pretended to get together with Maryanne, but in doing
so, he almost hurt the woman he loved most!
He did have sdoubts about the credibility of Patrick's words. But Maryanne's apology just now had proved
that she had indeed done something so vile!
Patrick linked his fingers together, placed them on his knees, and explained slowly, "I know that you'll be furious
after knowing this, so | helped you decide in advance. It's a good deal to have only her hands disabled."
Milton frowned and asked with pain on his face, "How's Amelia now?"
Patrick answered simply, "She's fine."
Milton lost his mind and roared, "She fell from such a high place. How could she be fine?"
Patrick's gaze remained calm. "I appeared at the right tand caught her. Otherwise, she would probably be in
the hospital or the morgue by now."
Fortunately, Amelia was unscathed. Otherwise, Maryanne would have received a punishment much more worse
than this.
Milton knew that Patrick would not joke around about the safety of Amelia. If Patrick said she was fine, then
Amelia must be okay.
But Maryanne...
"Go ahead and kill her."
Patrick's eyes widened slightly, and a curious expression appeared on his face.
He did not mishear, did he? Earlier, Milton had just wanted to fight him to avenge Maryanne, but now he had
asked him to kill her?
Patrick rolled his eyes and laughed, "Mr. Cook, it's not good for you to frme like this. After all, you have to
pay a murder with your life."
Milton said indifferently, "If you don't dare, you can letdo it."
He had learned that Maryanne's tragic state now was entirely her own fault. Naturally, he would no longer fear
for her!
Let alone the fact that Maryanne had harmed Amelia, the person he had been determined to protect for the rest
of his life. Milton would never forgive her!
Now, he even had the desire to murder her!
Sensing the intense hatred from Milton, Patrick narrowed his eyes and tempted him, "Why don't you keep her by
your side instead of killing her? Take advantage of her feelings for you and torture her?"
Milton was dazed.
Patrick drawled on kindly, "Think about it. She pushed Amelia down the stairs, probably because of jealousy.
Don't you know who she cares about?" Milton glared at Patrick and said, "She likes you." "Oh?" Patrick asked,
"Are you sure?"

He got together with Maryanne on one hand because he hated her. On the other hand, he was clear that the
person Maryanne loved was Patrick. This meant that he was safe from any emotional attachment with her!
But now, Milton could no longer escape Maryanne's affection for him since she had tried to take Amelia's life!
"I hate her! How can | continue to be with her?"

Hearing Patrick's words, Milton felt a sense of enlightenment.
Patrick was right, giving Maryanne a simple beating or killing her instantly was merely physical pain. She had
brought mental trauma upon him, so Milton had to pay her back bit by bit!
