"I'm going to die together with him!" Sharon squeezed out these words through her clenched teeth.
At the moment, not only Stanley, but all the men present had a change in their expressions, and even more so Isai. He shifted his deranged eyes at Sharon. "Wh-what did you say?"
Seeing his terrified look, Sharon felt her suppressed anger finally released; she felt a sense of revenge. "Isai, so you are afraid of death?"
She thought that this crazy man was not a tad bit afraid of death.
Isai's face was ashen as he stood behind her and pointed his gun at her. The position he was standing at was extremely advantageous to him. There was the log cabin behind him—a dead end, and in front of him stood Sharon. With her so close to him, no matter how angry Stanley was, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him for the time being.
But if this stalemate continued, it wouldn't be of any benefit to him at all.
As he thought of this, a hint of malice flashed across Isai's face. "If you don't want her to die, then all of you should leave!" He pointed the gun to the back of Sharon's head and looked at Stanley with bloodthirsty eyes, "Truly my good son. Still able to retaliate against me even at the brink of death! Very well!"
With the chilling muzzle pointed at the back of her head, Sharon could hear Isai's gloomy voice without even looking back.
Stiffening his body, Stanley stood still.
With a click, Isai turned on his gun safety.
Sharon's eyes were red as her gaze fixed on her husband for a moment. "Stanley, take Brother King and the rest and leave this place. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine..."
Worst case scenario, she would die.
This time, she would never let Isai go. She had to seize such a good opportunity no matter what.
Even with a bomb in her own hands, she would send Isai to hell.
Stanley had once told her that he would personally kill Isai to give her and the children a safe future. Now, she wanted to tell him that she could do the same by sacrificing herself to create a bright future for him and the children.
Sniffing her nose, Sharon tried to hold back her tears. She looked deeply at her beloved husband and uttered word by word, "I feel assured with the kids in your hands. I believe with you taking care of them, they'd live a good life. Stanley, since you've done so much for me, let me do this one thing for you."
If Isai didn't die, they would never have a day of peace.
Since she was going to die this time, she would drag Isai down with her.
"Sharon, don't move!" Stanley's trembling voice rang out. "Stand still, and don't move. Don't do anything silly. I can save you!"
How was he going to save her? It's impossible... Sharon knew he was only saying these to comfort himself.
Isai was pointing a gun behind her, whereas she was holding a bomb in her hands.
"Brother King!" Stanley suddenly turned around. "Can this bomb be defused?"
Jackson had been watching from a distance, looking for a chance to kill Isai with one shot. However, Isai was hiding at a good angle. Jackson couldn't get a good shooting point, and he was stumped for a while.
"I can't tell from such a long distance, but to tell you the truth, most pressure- sensitive bombs have caused numerous lives..." Jackson's face darkened. "I'm looking for an opportunity to shoot at Isai, but it's not easy to do so from this angle. He's vigilant and has been keeping an eye on us. If we're not careful, I'm afraid that we'll trigger the bomb in Sharon's hands."
With that, Jackson pursed his lips and then suggested, "Let's wait and see. Let's stabilize the situation first."
Stanley's gaze fell on Isai again. "What do you need me to do in order for you to let her go?"
Before Isai could speak, Sharon couldn't help but yell out loud, "Stanley, don't bargain with him!"
Isai shouldn't be given any more chances. If he managed to survive this time, he would definitely harm the children. But Sharon wasn't going to let anything of this sort happen.
