Chapter 271 Everything Was Over

William strode away as if there was something he wanted to prove to himself. He deliberately chose to go on foot to catch up with Mary, leaving the car behind.

Meanwhile, Frank was enraged as he gazed at William's retreating back. With his sharp eyes piercing through the latter, he whipped out a gun from his waist. "William Lan! Don't you dare turn your back on me! I won't hesitate to pull this trigger at any moment!" Frank shouted as he aimed the gun at himself.

The latter then stopped in his tracks, utterly stunned at the sudden threat. He turned around, and with nonchalant eyes, he stared at Frank silently.

"William..." Frank whispered as his hand firmly gripped the weapon.

However, William merely looked straight in his eyes and said, "Is there anything else you can do aside from threatening me? I have only tolerated you all these years because of your sister. If you keep doing this, it will only dissipate my left-over gratitude for her."

"I don't believe you! I always know how much you love her."

"It is because of my love for her that I have tolerated you while also hurting myself in the process." William started to walk briskly towards him, "I loved her with all my heart, but it has been so long since she passed away. It's Mary whom I love now! When she found the box yesterday because of what you told her, I felt angry and scared! I was afraid that she would abandon me if she learned about what happened in the past!"

After explaining, William suddenly grabbed Frank's hand and pointed the weapon's muzzle to his left shoulder. He said, "You don't have to die in front of me. It should be aimed at me!"

"No... No!" Frightened, Frank struggled to free his hand.

But William held it tightly and placed his thumb on the trigger. "Your sister is different from you. You are yourself, Frank. Now that

der sister?"

Lucas nodded and simply answered, "Yeah, but I don't know a lot about her. I just know that William used to be so infatuated with her. He hasn't forgotten her for so many years."

"Infatuated with her? What is Mary to him then?"

"What a bastard!" Lucas shook his head. Then, with furrowed brows, he continued, "I don't know what is on William's mind. I thought he hadn't had a woman for four years!"

"Lucas," Barry called and looked at him from the rearview mirror, "I won't let go of Mary this time."

"You..." Lucas tried to say something, but after seeing how serious Barry sounded and looked, he just pressed his lips into a thin line. He thought for a while and said, "But Mary already has two kids with William."

"I have always regarded Alick and Elissa as my own children. It wouldn’t be a problem," Barry said, his eyes were now on the road ahead. Then, he heaved a deep breath and continued, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let go of Mary back then."

"William has gone too far. He broke Mary's ear four years ago, and this time he could still slap her. Is he a man or not?" Lucas gritted his teeth and pulled William's ear hard. "And those videos... By the way, do you know who hacked your company's computers?"

"I’m guessing it's Frank." Barry frowned slightly and said, "At that time, Mary and William were having a fight. It wouldn't be just a coincidence that the computers were hacked at that perfect timing. Someone obviously did it on purpose."

"That makes sense! Barry, I support your decision. I'll leave Mary to you. She'll be happy with you by her side," Lucas said genuinely, causing a weak smile to creep on Barry's lips.

"William Lan, I'm afraid Mary wouldn't forgive you this time," Lucas whispered, knowing that the former would probably not hear him given his current state.
