Chapter 1320
"Ha, if you say I won't get it, well, guess what? I don't even care to understand!" Lane sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "You know what I can't stand? Your holier-than-thou attitude! What, you think you're something special? Just another plaything left behind!" Dorothy realized there was no saving him.
Maybe Lane hadn't turned bad; maybe he was rotten to the core from the get-go!
The murderous glint in his eyes was unmistakable.
Yet, Dorothy didn't move an inch, resolutely standing in front of Kenneth.
Behind her, Kenneth's voice was almost pleading, "Dorothy, please move!"
"No way! If I leave, he'll definitely kill you, Lane's lost it!"
"I don't care if I die... but you... you have to survive... for Abigail and Langston..."
Just as Dorothy was about to argue, Lane bellowed.
"Enough! Dorothy, you don't seriously think I'd spare Kenneth if I got rid of you, do you? There are only two outcomes today: either Kenneth dies, or... both of you do!"
"I'm begging you, Lane, Kenneth has nothing to do with this!"
"As I said, if you willingly be mine, let me have my way just once, maybe then I'd consider sparing him."
Lane kept advancing, giving Dorothy no time to think.
"Dorothy, don't!" Kenneth was desperately trying to break free from the ropes binding him, but it was futile.
Dorothy's lips quivered, and in the next second, she grabbed Lane's wrist again.
"Play nice, and I can make you happy! Give you a good time!"
She clenched her teeth, then suddenly raised her hand-
A slap echoed loudly across Lane's cheek!
Lane was furious, his hand shooting out to grasp Dorothy's neck.
"Damn it, you're really asking for it!"
Suddenly!
Just as Lane was about to squeeze, a force tackled him to the ground! When he saw who it was, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "Everett?! I thought you were dead!"
"Wishful thinking!" Everett clenched

His hands were covered in blood, a vivid red!
Dorothy snapped back to reality and rushed forward to pull him away, "Everett, stop! Don't kill him!"
If he continued, Lane would die right there and then!
"I want him dead! Now!"
Everett was almost in a frenzy.
Rushing in to see Lane choking Dorothy had stripped away all his reason!Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Thankfully.
Kevin burst in, quickly untying Kenneth, then joined Dorothy in trying to calm Mr. Lopez down.
"Mr. Lopez, please, calm down! If Lane dies, we'll never get the antidote!"
That sentence finally brought a semblance of clarity to Everett's enraged eyes.
Lane, now a bloody mess, suddenly laughed, "The antidote? You
the antidote? Ha! Even if I tell you where it is, you'll never get it!ö
"The antidote is in the top floor of this apartment building! But good luck getting in without me. It's booby-trapped; the first one through the door gets a deadly surprise Lane laughed maniacally. "Everett, you love Dorothy so much, you'll surely go for it, right? I want to see you torn apart! Ha!"
