However, Tyrone turned her down immediately. “Even if I let him off the hook, I can’t promise you that the other Garrison family members will do the same!”
“Tyrone Garrison! If you don’t promise me this, I’ll expose that secret of yours to the world!” Emma suddenly exclaimed.
“You...”
Tyrone’s tone underwent a profound change when he heard that.
He roared angrily, “So much for your promise to love me for the rest of your life and to keep my secret forever! How dare you threaten to expose it to the world now, you wretched b*tch!”
Emma was forced into a corner. “I’m willing to do almost anything if it means saving my son’s life.
If there’s anything that can get him out, I’ll do it!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll let him off, alright? I’ll make sure to keep him alive. But there’s still a problem —how will I know that you won’t use this secret to threaten me again?” Tyrone asked.
“I swear I’ll never use this secret against you again!
However, Tyrone replied in a low and dangerous voice, “Preposterous. I’ve long understood that only the dead can keep secrets.”
A shiver ran through Emma’s body. She felt a little panicked by the implications of his words.
“Alright, here’s my proposal. Trade your life with your son’s. When Levi makes it out of there, I’ll send someone to fetch you back to Oakland
City!”
There was no way Tyrone would allow his secret to be leaked to the public.
This had never been a source of concern for him before, because Emma loved him way too much and would take his secret to her grave rather than exposing him to the world.
However, now that her son’s life was at stake, it was a different story altogether.
Hence, Emma needed to die.
Fine. I promise you!
In order to save her son’s life, Emma didn’t care if she lived or died anymore.
Back at the villa in North Hampton, Levi smiled as he gazed at the hundreds of warriors surrounding him.
Blandly, he announced, “Today is my wedding day, so the last thing I want to see is bloodshed. However, some people are pushing me too far! I have no choice but to pull out all stops and kill all of you.”
Damien laughed shrilly. “Levi Garrison, that silly bravado of yours has always been a source of admiration for me! Look where you are now. Do you still dare to make those silly proclamations of yours?”
“And guess what, I arranged for all this to happen today, just for you!”
