Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!-Chapter 52 I Can’t Bear to Kill You, So I’ll Let You Kill Me
Chapter 52: Chapter 52 I Can’t Bear to Kill You, So I’ll Let You Kill Me
"Bang!" The dagger slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
Anne Hart’s body also collapsed feebly, blood gushing out. Her gaze softened as she looked at the man’s stern and dignified face, a smile tracing her lips.
Lucas Taylor seemed to suddenly realize something, his body shuddering. He strode over, picked up Aurelia Shaw, and angrily gritted his teeth, "You deceived me!"
Indeed, he should have realized it sooner!
With her intelligence and strategy, she nearly destroyed his kingdom. How could she use such a clumsy method to kill someone?
She was deceiving him!
She deliberately said she had fallen in love with him, rendering him incapable of judgment due to shock. She then intentionally slandered the woman he loved and hurt the woman he loved—all of this was to make him kill her with his own hands!
"Why!" Lucas Taylor’s eyes reddened, unwaveringly staring at her, "I could have imprisoned you in Anne Hart’s residence, I could have made sure you never stepped out of the gates. I have many other methods at my disposal. Why must you choose to sacrifice your life?"
Anne Hart wanted to raise her hand to touch his face, but in the end, she lacked the strength to do so, only managing a smile, "I know, how could my royal brother bear to kill me? Since childhood, you have cherished Anne Hart the most. But... royal brother, I have committed the serious crime of treason! The court is already displeased with me. If you protect me again this time, how will the civil and military officials perceive you?"
"Being able to die by your hand, Anne Hart is already satisfied. Since I cannot be the person in your heart, Anne Hart... Anne Hart... would rather... make sure royal brother never forgets me."
Her blood-stained hand tightly grasped the man’s chest clothes, suddenly releasing them powerlessly...
Lucas Taylor tightened his arms, pulling the woman’s cold and frail body into his embrace, groaning in sorrow beside her ear, "Anne Hart, you will forever be my sister, my only... dear sister, and none will ever replace you, I swear by the throne."
...
Much time passed, yet no one called for the scene to stop. Everyone was immersed in sadness, some even shedding tears, while most had red-rimmed eyes. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Anne Hart was clearly the greatest antagonist in this drama, ruthless and cold-blooded, having killed countless people. But at this moment, Aurelia Shaw brought forth her other side.
This girl, who had stifled admiration and affection for her royal brother from childhood, watched silently as the elegant and genteel royal brother became step by step a butcher.
Executed one brother after another, with whom she had grown up together, watching the entire Imperial City drown in a sea of blood.
Her heart was twisted by the blood, her spirit tormented day and night, unable to sleep for her deceased brothers, and for the last shred of hope in her heart, she was compelled to rebel, deceiving herself into thinking that if the nation were destroyed, her royal brother would return to his former self.
However...
Until the very last moment, she couldn’t bear to harm her royal brother.
Thus, she could only let him kill her.
This was the best end she could conceive for herself.
Lucas Taylor had precisely guessed her intention, hence his profound grief. In this cold and indifferent palace, from childhood to adulthood, he had only ever truly cared for Anne Hart. Unfortunately, she was ultimately merely, and could only ever be, his sister.
"Clap!"
"Clap... clap clap clap clap!!"
No one knew how much time had passed, applause began to echo intermittently.
First one, then two... then more and more, everyone stared in amazement at Aurelia Shaw. They had yet to recover from the theatrical portrayal of life and death.
