Chapter 416
She was filled with remorse.
“Thea, this is what happens when you go against me. I gave you a chance to be my wife, to be Mrs. Watsons, but no! You just had to go against me!”
Zavier gritted his teeth.
He liked Thea.
Her every move deeply attracted him.
He wanted to be with her.
Even though she had a husband, he did not mind.
However, he did not expect Thea to humiliate him at the engagement ceremony. By leaving with James, she had put him to shame.
Not only that, James had even crippled him. “Thea Callahan… The most beautiful woman in Cansington… But not for long, I’m afraid. I’ll make you the ugliest woman in Cansington. If I can’t have you, no one else can! And since I can’t have you, I might as well ruin you.” His face contorted with rage, Zavier barked, “Prepare the gasoline.” Maximus immediately ordered, “Get moving, quick!” A few men swiftly left the basement to get some gasoline. Thea was dismayed.
She did not know what awaited her. She knew there would be no escape for her. By offending the Watsons, even her family was doomed. Her tears had dried up. She curled on the ground and hugged her knees. She sobbed.
Gavin knew what was about to happen.
“I’ll be outside.” He stood up and left. It was all because of Thea that his son had to go through this.
She would have to die.
Soon, Maximus’ men walked in with a few cans of gasoline. “W-We brought them.” Zavier ordered, “Pour it on her.”
“Understood.”
They nodded. Then, they opened the cans and poured it all on Thea. Upon detecting the smell of gasoline, she was horror-struck. She cried out, “No… No! Please, I’m begging you. Let me go. Please give me a chance. I’ll repay you for not killing me.” Thea was truly terrified.
Her fear of death sent shivers down her spine.
“Too late.”
