Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 458

Evangeline’s face was ashen. She looked so thin and frail, as if a strong gust of wind could blow her over.

Glenn, of course, wouldn’t allow it.

But before he could speak, Finn cut in. “Victor, I gave her the gun. She shot you because of me. If you want to do something, do it to me.”

He struggled to move forward, but Arabella angrily held him in place.

Finn’s actions were a clear betrayal of Victor. On any other matter, it might have been forgivable, but this involved Theresa. No matter how much Victor had doted on him in the past, he wouldn’t be merciful now. Finn was already beaten badly. Another gunshot, and it was questionable if he would even survive.

However, she also knew it was impossible for Finn to stand by and watch Evangeline get hurt.

“Victor, I have an idea,” Arabella said, stepping forward after a moment of thought.

Victor turned his gaze to her.

“What idea?” he asked.

Arabella offered a faint smile.

“You know what Theresa is like. If she found out you deliberately hurt Evangeline after she told you not to, she’d probably hold it against you.”

“So why not leave it to fate?”

With that, Arabella pulled a small revolver from her pocket. She opened the cylinder, inserted a single bullet, and handed it to Victor.

“There’s one bullet in this gun. Let Evangeline point it at herself and pull the trigger. If it fires, that’s just her bad luck.”

“If it doesn’t, then her luck is good, and we can consider this matter closed.”

After speaking, Arabella looked at Evangeline with a helpless expression. This was the best she could do for her.

Victor was a man of obsessive personality. All these years, he’d remained fixated on Evangeline’s role in Theresa’s disappearance, dead set on revenge. No one could talk him out of it.

Her words seemed to have an effect; Victor didn’t argue.
