"Don't look at me, Mrs. Grant." He pointed at the agreement. "This is where you should sign."
I glanced at Theo on the other side of the wall and retracted my gaze. I decided to take a gamble. "I said I won't sign it!"
The other party raised his eyebrow as though he had long predicted that I would say so. He put the vial back into the box and slid it to one side.
A black-clad man in the corner came forward to take the box before walking out of the door.
"Looks like I have something fun to watch.'
I soon saw the black-clad man holding the vial appearing in Theo's room.
He walked to the corner and moved with great skill. After drawing medicine out of the vial, he faced Theo to wait for orders.
"Mrs. Grant, I’ll count to three and the needle will go in. According to what I just said, they'll only inject one-third at a time. If you refuse to sign the papers, then I'll now choose the spot where Mr. Grant will be injected."
My hands started shaking.
"This is such a dilemma." Ernest deliberately sounded hesitant while saying, "Sigh, the decision has to be made eventually. Let's go."
He put away his sickening expression and put on a false gentlemanly appearance. He began counting down, "Three... two..."
I looked at his mouth, my mind a complete blank.
"Wait!”
Bang!
Just as I opened my mouth to ask him to wait a little longer, the door was suddenly kicked open. I looked back and saw Alex as well as a group of men behind him.
