Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1869: An Unexpected Ending

Chapter 1869: An Unexpected Ending

"No, no!" Felix's anguished cry echoed through the forest.

The sound of the helicopter approaching startled the birds around, causing them to fly into the sky. The crows formed a dark cloud, as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city.

Luther acted swiftly and quickly restrained Felix. If Vicki was in danger, Felix must not get involved anymore. It was Vicki's own choice, and neither of them could stop her.

Mr. Ball also showed respect. He used to fear Vicki, but now he revered her. Having lived with Seren, he knew too well what the Saunders family used to be like. Now that the Saunders family had finally taken the right path, falling into Seren's hands would likely lead to their destruction. Vicki chose to sacrifice herself to eliminate Seren, which was truly admirable.

Seren nervously stared at Vicki, not daring to relax. The dagger was still pressed against Vicki's neck. However, he also hesitated to kill her because he knew Vicki's capabilities. If he swiftly severed her artery, she would surely activate the explosive device with her final resolve, putting his own life in danger.

Suddenly, he regretted it. Why did he insist on Vicki? If he had known, he should have used Reese as a hostage. At least he could guarantee getting the money. He pondered over possible solutions but couldn't come up with any. There was nothing he could do against someone who was determined to die.

"Seren, let's die together!" Vicki's voice was icy cold, extremely calm, as if life and death were irrelevant to her.

As Vicki tightened her grip on her own wrist, preparing to trigger the explosion, a loud roar suddenly filled the air. The approaching helicopter and the swirling winds blew the surrounding trees into a frenzy, drowning out all other sounds. Everyone knew that it must be the reinforcements sent by Athena to support Seren. The helicopter would take Seren away.

Seren urgently tried to free himself from the handcuffs binding him to Vicki. He didn't want to die; he wanted to escape. As long as he had the money, he would come back. Now he wanted to kill Vicki immediately, to break free from this restraint. But he feared the bomb in Vicki's hands, so he hesitated.

Naturally, Vicki wanted more people to gather around her before she died. Even if she had to die, she wanted to take a few scumbags down with her.

The situation reached a stalemate.

No one noticed that at this moment, suddenly, a dark figure appeared amidst the chaos caused by the helicopter's strong gusts of wind, its noise covering all other sounds. The figure pounced forward, a dagge in hand, and plunged it directly into Seren's neck from behind, piercing his throat and artery.

This was an outcome that no one had expected.

Seren didn't even have a chance to make a sound. He stared wide-eyed, his body collapsing like a withered tree. His eyes bulged, never understanding who had killed him.

Immediately after, the dagger was forcefully pulled out, and blood gushed out like a spring, splattering the surroundings.

Due to being handcuffed to Seren, Vicki fell to the ground along with him.

Witnessing Seren take his last breath, dying instantly without any chance of survival, Vicki was shocked. After all, the people coming to support them were all on Seren's side. Who could have killed Seren so mercilessly and without hesitation?

Turning abruptly, Vicki saw the person clearly. Her eyes widened in disbelief-it was Cloud!

Cloud had actually killed Seren!

Over a decade ago, it was Rayan who stabbed Seren, and in the end, Rayan went to prison. They thought Seren was dead, but he had been lurking all these years.

And now, it was Cloud who ultimately dealt Seren a fatal blow.

The difference was that this time, Seren died completely.

Vicki quickly freed herself from the handcuffs. She had a small handle pendant on her bracelet, which could be used to unlock the cuffs in just twenty seconds. After opening the handcuffs, her first action was to kick Seren aside. As Seren lay on the ground, she reached out with her index finger to his nose, carefully checking. Indeed, there was no breath left, not even the slightest.

Seren was finally dead, completely dead!

Vicki suddenly felt weak all over. She slumped to the ground, her body already weakened from inhaling the smoke earlier. Now, she felt even more powerless, as if the spirit she had held onto for years had collapsed in an instant. Seren had died like this, ultimately dying at the hands of Rayan.

She looked up at Cloud and asked, "Why?"

"No 'why.' He deserved to die by my hand. I'm just finishing what Istarted back then," Cloud's gaze remained fixed on the chain on Vicki's wrist. "There's a miniature bomb inside, right? Do you want to die with him?"

Vicki didn't answer.

Cloud threw away the dagger in his hand. "You know perfectly well why I ended up like this. What's the point if Seren doesn't die? Vicki, what was he doing all these long years? Why did he grow distant from you? Seren is dead."

At that moment, Felix witnessed Seren's death with his own eyes. Breaking free from Luther and Mr. Ball's restraints, he rushed over, kneeling down and embracing Vicki in his arms.

He forcefully tore off the chain from Vicki's wrist and threw it far away. He knew the chain had a special purpose because she never wore any jewelry. But he never expected it to be a miniature bomb. A woman who wore a bomb on her wrist all day, ready to die at any moment.

Felix didn't know whether he should be terrified or angry. She didn't value her own life at all and didn't consider his feelings. She was so heartless, did she ever think about him? How would he spend the rest of his life without her? He had seen Luther's lifeless state for four years, and fortunately, Joyce returned. But what about him? If Vicki chose to detonate herself today, wouldn't he be condemned to live in hell forever?

"Vicki, you've gone too far! How could you do this? How can you justify yourself? Isn't the life in your belly a life too? No matter what, you shouldn't think about dying together with Seren! Vicki! What am I to you? Did you treat me as a passerby? Vicki, do you have a heart at all? Is it made of stone? Is it black?" Felix yelled, his voice deafening, paying no attention to Cloud beside them. After all, Cloud could easily end his life now. He didn't care.
