"Humph, it's good that you're aware of what's happening."
Sharon turned to the source of the voice to see William looking at her coldly.
She always knew that William didn't like her. Whether it was from the way he looked at her or his attitude, she could feel that he hated her. If it weren't for Shawn, he would have ignored her.
Although he hated her, he had never used such words to mock her. This was the first time.
Sharon only glanced at him and then withdrew her gaze, not saying a word.
There was nothing much she could say to him.
Right away, William was irritated by Sharon's attitude, and his cold gaze staring at her got even more callous.
Only when Shawn glared at William that he restrained himself a little bit.
When night came, the group of people could not be picky about the spots to sleep. They found some spots and slept sitting, and one of them found a tree to lean against. In that way, they spent the night.
Sharon was extremely tired. Even though her entire body was tense and she was paranoid, she unknowingly fell asleep for some reason.
It was not until she felt a creepy killing intent shrouding her that she suddenly woke up. Her eyes opened abruptly, and she saw a dagger shining with cold light aiming towards her.
Immediately, Sharon's expression changed. Instinctively, she rolled to the side, and the dagger missed her. The person holding the dagger immediately threw himself at her. His actions were fierce, much more resolute than his first strike. It was as if he was determined to kill her.
Sharon stood up and ran. Before she could run more than two steps, she tripped over something and fell down, causing a loud sound.
"Help me..."
"Ah..."
Her mouth was gagged by the other party, and he sinisterly scorned, "Shut up!"
Sharon stared at him and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
The dagger was raised and it was closer and closer, whereas Sharon struggled with resistance, letting out muffled sounds. As she struggled, she felt something in her hand. Without even thinking about it, she picked it up and smashed it against her attacker.
Dong!
The person was caught off guard and was hit in the head by her. Immediately, the smell of blood wafted in the air.
Her actions infuriated him completely. He did not even think twice before holding up the dagger to stab her in the neck.
In despair, Sharon shut her eyes.
Bam!
Suddenly, Sharon could not feel the weight of her body. Just then, she immediately opened her eyes as she was pulled up, only to realize Shawn hugging her tightly as he asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?"
Gasping for breath, Sharon shook her head. "I'm fine..."
"Okay," Shawn answered and moved her to one side. His face was solemn, and his eyes were full of anger. He walked forward, came to William, raised his foot, and gave him a good kicking.
William fell to the ground, and so did the dagger in his hand. There was also blood dripping from his head.
Sharon didn't understand why William wanted to kill her. Did he hate her this much?
She had never hurt William, and there was no enmity between them. Why made he want to kill her?
Shawn took out the gun from his waist and put it on William's forehead. "Why did you do that?"
William knelt on the ground. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of incredulity. "Mr. Shawn, are you killing me because of her?"
"Do you think your life is more important than hers?"
