"He only survived by the slim chance that the Niu Lai Family helped him!" Whenever Jones Ellie mentioned the hatred for the extinct clan, she was filled with resentment.
"Are you confident that you can end his life this time?"
Jones Ellie wasn't so sure, so she stayed silent.
"Miss Jones's mother seems to be about to give birth soon. Giving birth at the age of forty is inherently high risk. If Su Yan doesn't die, what danger will she face?" Bai Xue's soft words made Jones Ellie's face turn pale.
"You... how do you know!" Only she and her father knew about her mother's pregnancy, not even the people in her clan knew about it, let alone her!
"I have my own channels of information." She had put a lot of effort into finding it out; it would be a waste if she didn't find anything.
Jones Ellie stayed silent, phoned the butler at the manor where her mother was living, and asked about her mother's situation. After confirming her mother's safety, she looked coldly at Bai Xue.
"What does it matter if you know? You are a dead woman!" As long as her mother was not in Bai Xue's hands, she had nothing to fear!
"Yes, it doesn't matter if I know, but if I can find out this information, isn't it possible that Su Yan might also know it? Even if he doesn't know it now, if you fail to kill him, he could definitely trace back to your ancestral graves. By then, could your mother remain unharmed?" Bai Xue was not threatening her, but stating a fact.
"Then I shall die making sure Su Yan also dies!" For her mother's safety, he must die!
"What if you die and he still doesn't?"
"There's no chance of that happening!" Jones Ellie asserted separately.
"Oh, really?" Bai Xue gleefully raised an eyebrow.
Her gaze made Jones Ellie's certainty falter, and fear crept into her heart!
Just then, a person next to her leaned in and whispered something in her ear, making her look even more perturbed.
"Bai Xue, what are you trying to say exactly!"
"I'm saying, spare her one torture, and I can guarantee your mother will be fine."
Jones Ellie burst into laughter, "Bai Xue, are you treating me as a fool! Your survival is uncertain, how can you guarantee my mother's safety!"
"Of course, my premise is that you let me live. If you can kill Su Yan and me, then this deal doesn't exist. If you're not fully confident, then please consider this. There's a saying: always leave yourself a way out. This deal will only benefit you, not harm you." Bai Xue was trying to get something for nothing.
If she could trap her, then Bai Wanrou would have to resign herself to fate.
Jones Ellie remained silent for a while, "She is your love rival, why do you want to help her?"
"Consider it my good deed for the day." Repaying a favour, for the child in my belly to accumulate good karma.
Jones Ellie was silent again, and Bai Xue knew she was wavering.
Bai Wanrou knew that Jones Ellie held sway over her fate. At this crucial moment, she stopped crying and sat silently in one corner, anxious and waiting for the result.
"Bai Xue, how do you expect me to trust you?" Jones Ellie who had initially been very confident, was now daunted by Bai Xue's words. What if she fails to kill Su Yan, and he retaliates against her mother? Her mother and the unborn brother in her womb are the hope of the Jones clan and she cannot allow them to be in any danger!
"I can guarantee with my integrity that I will keep my word. You can choose to believe me, or ignore me, it's up to you." Bai Xue was betting that Jones Ellie would trust her because she was scared; it was easier to control someone who had something to fear!
