Chapter 199
Richard rarely said so much, but fear grabbed his heart at the sight of Abby holding a dagger against
Pearl’s neck. He was really afraid of losing Pearl forever.
Abby, on the other hand, didn’t expect to feel heartbroken when she heard the words she had
rehearsed countless times in her heart. Of course, she was aware of that.
She could tell that the only woman Richard loved was Pearl by the way he looked at the latter. Besides,

But Pearl had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ruined Abby’s plan. In her panic, Abby had
resorted to various schemes to prevent them from becoming a couple.
She couldn’t comprehend why all her efforts were futile, and she had ended up in despair, not only
ruining her own family but also incurring the wrath of Richard’s family. It felt like she had gained nothing
except pain and heartache.
While Abby was lost in her thoughts, Richard seized the opportunity. He wrested the dagger from her
grasp and kicked her three meters away.
Abby, upon hitting the ground, began to cough up blood.
“You’re doomed, Abby,” Richard declared. He made a phone call, and within ten seconds, a group of
armed forces stormed in. They promptly carried Hanzel out, while Richard helped Pearl to her feet.
Staring at Abby coldly, Richard warned her, “The cops will get here soon. You’d better come up with
your statement. There’s no escaping jail this time.”
Richard’s patience with Abby had completely run out, and her wickedness repulsed him.

Meanwhile, Louis and Wilhem trembled in a corner, unable to believe that the people they had beaten

Besides, the cops would come soon, and they would be imprisoned again even though they had just
gotten their freedom.
When they heard the sirens approaching, they resigned themselves to their fates and closed their eyes.
Abby wiped the blood from her lips and stood up. After glancing around, she found that she had
nothing except the two trembling men in the corner.
With a pathetic smile, she stared at the sharp dagger in her hand for a moment. In the next instant, she
plunged the dagger into her own heart, blood gushing forth.
Her deepest regret was falling in love with Richard.
