Barnes sent his location quickly and Yuna took some time to get there. What she didn’t anticipate, however, was that Barnes was living in a rental apartment just above her family’s casino!
Thankfully, it was deep into the night, the casino’s busiest hours. Hence, when Yuna arrived, Zoe and Ablett didn’t spot her.
The slightly ajar door was pushed open by Yuna, and the choking smell of smoke and alcohol made her nauseous.
Barnes was hiding behind the door, and as soon as Yuna entered, he immediately grabbed her by the shoulder and eagerly pushed her against the door.
Yuna turned her face away in disgust, questioning him fiercely, “Did you do this on purpose? How long have you been living here behind my back? Why didn’t you say anything?”
A wicked smile curled up at the corner of Barnes’ lips. He leaned in towards Yuna, greedily inhaling her scent, “Why? You don’t want Zoe and Ablett to know how much we love each other?”
Seeing Barnes about to kiss her, Yuna instantly pushed against his chest.
“I’m here now, what else do you want? You want to make everyone know about this?”
Barnes cruelly brushed off Yuna’s hand, and in an instant, he picked her up and tossed her onto the nearby bed, pouncing on her.
“Whether your parents know or not, what does it matter? Your family should be thanking me!
It’s me, who’s about to get rid of the Hayes for you! And it’s because of me, your family’s comfortable life can continue! Oh no, to be precise, they should thank you! Because all of this, you earned by pleasing me with your body…” As he spoke, Barnes tilted up Yuna’s chin and kissed her.
This time, Yuna didn’t resist. Because Barnes had mentioned Hayes, and she wanted Hayes gone, so she had to make some sacrifices…
After a passionate night, Barnes was half-naked, leaning against the headboard smoking.
Yuna quickly dressed and suddenly took out a gun from her bag onto the bed.
Barnes looked down at the dark muzzle, slightly stunned. But Yuna crossed her arms and looked at him coldly, “Frederick’s bodyguards are all former special forces. I think, you should be capable of a headshot.”
Barnes’ playful eyes fell on Yuna, suddenly appreciating the ruthless determination in this woman, despite her pretending to be righteous.
But after all, Yuna was Frederick’s woman, and sleeping with her, Barnes naively thought he was no different from Frederick.
“You’re heartless! Hayes has been your son for three years. Can you really do this?”
“Enough talk! That brat is nothing but trouble, I can’t let him die comfortably! It must be a headshot!”
How painful would Marguerite be if she found out that her long-lost son died so gruesomely?
The image of Marguerite crying out in anguish flashed through Yuna’s mind, bringing her immense satisfaction.
“Your wish is my command. But I have one condition.” Barnes said, his voice laden with hidden implications.
Upon hearing this, Yuna’s face fell, clearly irritated, “What, you want more?”
“After I kill Hayes, shouldn’t we celebrate? Like… tonight?”
As Barnes spoke, he looked at Yuna with a provocative and ambiguous gaze. Thinking about what had just happened, Yuna felt like vomiting! But she held it in.
Hayes wasn’t dead yet, and Barnes, this scapegoat, had to stay alive!
Celebrate? After he kills Hayes, would Frederick let him off?
There are not many people in Stonebridge City with the legal right to bear arms.
As a former bodyguard of Frederick and an ex-special forces sniper, Barnes naturally had this privilege.
However, his gun permit was confiscated by Yuna when he resigned three years ago.
Therefore, the gun Yuna threw was bought on the black market using Barnes’ permit.
By then, it wouldn’t take much effort for Frederick to quickly identify Barnes as the suspect.
She was aiming to kill two birds with one store!
Not only did she want to get rid of Hayes, but also Barnes, the ticking time bomb!
