“What does this mean? Leroy’s expression hardened, but Jolie threw out a crumpled check sheet.”
“I was pregnant, Leroy, let Kaeden go, or I will take your child down with me.”
Leroy across the street was stunned, unsure how to describe his current feelings – a mixture of joy and pain. He was happy that Jolie was pregnant with his child. However, he was also in pain because she was using their child as a threat for another man.
“Jolie, how heartless you are, is that our baby? Are you threatening me with the baby for this man?”
Jolie retorted, “Didn’t you also use my own sister’s life to threaten me for that woman Jane? We’re even.”
She raised her bright and charming face, a sarcastic smile hanging on her lips.
Leroy was stunned by the words, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by Jolie, the pain was unbearable. He shook his head in despair, “Jolie, but I already regret it.”
Unexpectedly, Jolie spoke again and completely pushed him into the abyss, “If I regret it, should I forgive? Then who will be responsible for my mother’s death? Can you bring her back to life?”
Leroy felt extremely helpless, his arrogance and recklessness were completely defeated in front of her.

Chapter 22
Seeing that he didn’t move, Jolie’s knife was pressed directly against his stomach.
“Leroy, you always made me choose, controlled my life, threatened me with the people I love, forced me – that’s your idea of love.”
“There was no true love, it was all about fulfilling your selfish desire to
control others.”
“This time, it’s my turn. I’ll give you two choices: either release Kaeden and let us leave, never to bother you again.”

“Either we die together, breaking the net like fish, and no one can expect a perfect ending!”
Leroy fell to his knees with a thud, his voice filled with despair and suppression.
“No, Jolie, don’t do this, let go of me!”
“I’m sorry for what I did to you!”
“With a loud thud, Kaeden hit the ground, and Jolie slowly moved to his side, her eyes wary as she stared at Leroy”
It wasn’t until she helped Kaeden out of the abandoned factory that she finally relaxed and slumped to the ground.
“I’m sorry, I almost hurt you again, Kaeden felt guilty, but before he could finish his words, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.”
When he got home, Jolie had him take off his clothes, revealing a wide back covered in scars. There were knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and several fresh bleeding wounds, most likely the work of Leroy.
He tugged at his shirt and lowered his eyes, saying, “I’ll do it myself, stop

watching!”
Jolie couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

His life was as bitter as hers, even more so… Fortunately, he saved her when she was most desperate, she was actually very lucky.
“Kaeden, do you regret saving me? If you hadn’t saved me, things wouldn’t be like they are now.”
The air fell silent for a few seconds, as if it had turned into ice.
Before long, a gentle voice sounded, “I never thought about regretting or not regretting, it’s just that the day you got off the plane, I saw your eyes telling me, save me.
Jolie was taken aback, “I remember that day, you weren’t there!”
Kaeden laughed, his narrow eyes softening, “You forgot, I am your bodyguard, always protecting you from the shadows, so I was there too.”
Jolie lowered her gaze, not knowing why her eyes had become moist.
The sunlight fell on the man’s scarred back, filling the air with a faint warmth, bringing peace to the heart.
She leaned her forehead lightly against his back and sincerely said, “Thank you!”
