Upon hearing this,a glimmer of hope flickered in Jeremy’s eyes,and the sense of despair gradually receded.
“But…”Brandon set the teacup down and continued.”If you don’t cooperate,I won’t hesitate to send someone to dig up her grave,denying her peace even in death.”
As he spoke,his dark eyes brimmed with coldness,and his thin lips formed a stern line.
His aura became ominous and intimidating,which could send shivers down people’s spine.
which could send shivers down people’s spine.
Overwhelmed with despair,Jeremy closed his eyes.His sister was his Achilles’heel,and Brandon’s threat worked on him.
However,he still refused to give in.If he caved in and revealed the residual drugs in Natalie’s body,he would lose all leverage against Brandon once they cured her.
At the thought of this,Jeremy opened his eyes and let out chilling laughter that was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
“Do you think I’d be afraid just because you threaten to desecrate my sister’s resting place?
Brandon,do you still believe you’re an honorable man?I doubt you’d stoop so low as to violate the grave of a child who’s been dead for years.”
Brandon’s eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of darkness lurking within.”Who told you I’m an honorable man?I seek revenge for even the slightest grievance.Besides,haven’t you hurt the innocent too?I’m just learning from your example.”
He smiled,and the ruthlessness in his eyes could make people’s scalp tingle.”It appears you don’t care about your sister that much.
Very well,Ill have someone scatter her ashes now,ensuring she never finds peace in the afterlife.”
Jeremy’s pupils constricted in anger,and he bellowed,”How dare you,Brandon!”
With a cold gleam shining in his dark eyes,Brandon leaned forward and said in a deep and cold voice,”Do you think your sister would hate you even in death?Blame you for denying her eternal peace?”
Hearing Brandon’s chilling question,Jeremy closed his eyes in despair.
He knew Brandon was not bluffing.If he defied him,Brandon would carry out his threat,condemning his sister to eternal unrest.
After all,he had once sought ruthless vengeance and inflicted harm on Natalie,who was as innocent as his sister.
Finally,after a long pause,Jeremy said in a sullen tone,”You can ask me whatever you want to know.
Brandon glanced at Frank and gave him a nod,signaling him to inquire about the formulas and dosages of the drugs that Jeremy had used on Natalie.
After what seemed like an etemity,Frank finished listing the complicated drug names.
To his astonishment,Jeremy had used over a hundred different drugs on Natalie,with each dosage three to four times what was considered normal.
Hearing the extensive list,an overwhelming surge of murderous intent coursed through Brandon’s veins.He lunged forward and gripped Jeremy’s hair.His whole body exuded a strong sense of malevolence.
“How could you?How could you do this to her?”
Jeremy was forced to look up at him.Although he looked somewhat haggard,he still managed to muster an arrogant laugh.”If she hadn’t run away,I would’ve subjected her to even more drugs,making her life a living hel…Argh!”
Before he could finish speaking,a piercing scream erupted from the room.
Brandon had picked up the dagger that had just fallen to the floor and drove it into Jeremy’s shoulder.
Amid Jeremy’s shrill screams,the dagger’s blade was completely embedded in his shoulder,with only the hilt visible.
The searing pain spread relentlessly through Jeremy’s entire body from the wound in his shoulder.The pain made him tremble violently. He clenched his teeth to somehow control the pain.However,it was too much to bear,and he could not help but let out a cry.
With a firm grip on the dagger,Brandon twisted it and asked in a cold and terrifying voice,”Does it hurt?It must’ve been much worse for Natalie when you subjected her to those drugs, right?”
The crimson blood soon stained Jeremy’s clothes.Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead due to the excruciating pain,yet he managed to muster an arrogant smile.”You’re right.She screamed in agony back in the lab.
Oh,I almost felt sorry for her … “
Brandon’s eyes darkened at Jeremy’s taunting words.He exerted more pressure on the dagger The searing pain spread relentlessly through Jeremy’s entire body from the wound in his shoulder.The pain made him tremble violently.

Brandon’s eyes darkened at Jeremy’s taunting words.He exerted more pressure on the dagger and remarked,”Seems like I’ve been too nice.”
Frank squatted beside Jeremy and observed the wound with a smile.”You’re a doctor,so you should know that your arm is now completely useless.I advise you not to provoke Brandon any further,or you might lose your other arm.”
right arm permanently useless,with no chance of recovery However …
He glanced at the surveillance camera aimed at the tea table,and a sinister smile crossed his face.”Brandon,kill me if you dare,or I’ll be your enemy until my last breath!”
Since his sister was gone and he could not exact revenge,there was no reason to go on living.He would rather risk his life to ensure that Brandon suffered for the rest of his days.
If Brandon killed him in a fit of rage,he would forever carry the burden of murder.He would be imprisoned,tormented by guilt for ending both his and his sister’s lives!
Looking at Jeremy’s provocative anc bloodthirsty gaze and smile,Brandon,for the first time,felt a chill crawl over his heart.
His intuition told him that Jeremy was a madman,and there would be no escaping him for the rest of his life.
Compared to being tortured by a madman for a lifetime,it was better to kill him now …
Brandon’s eyes grew darker,and a sinister and chilling aura enveloped his entire being.
Kill Jeremy …
The relentless voice in his mind pushed Brandon to the brink of madness.His eyes turned bloodshot,and he yanked the dagger from Jeremy’s shoulder.
Jeremy let out a snort,and the provocative smile on their face grew more apparent as he whispered,”Kill me.Do it quickly…Once you do,no one will disturb you and Natalie anymore …
Nobody will bother you again … “
“Fine…”Brandon raised the dagger high,his eyes filled with bloodlust.”You deserve it!”
With that,he lowered his hand to drive the dagger into Jeremy’s neck.
But when the blade was a mere inch away from stabbing Jeremy,a pair of strong hands firmly clasped Brandon’s hand.
“Brandon,are you out of your mind?!”Frank growled,holding Brandon’s hand with all his strength.
“Let go!I’m going to kill him!”Brandon snarled while staring at Frank with bloodshot eyes.
Frank,refusing to release his grip,reminded him,”Calm down!Think of Natalie.She has amnesia and needs you more than ever.You have to be there for her.Go back and take care of her!”
Her name seemed to be a wake-up call for Brandon.His tense body relaxed,and the fury in his eyes gradually subsided.
After a long moment,he stepped back and flung the dagger aside.He wearily rubbed his.
forehead and admitted,”You’re right.I still have Natalie.…I can’t commit murder.”
Seeing Brandon return to his senses,Frank breathed a sigh of relief.He patted him on the shoulder and advised,”You should leave now.
I’ll clean up the mess here.”
“Leaving so soon?”Jeremy asked,continuing to taunt Brandon.”Aren’t you going to kill me?Oh,I see,you’re a coward!”
Brandon glared coldly at Jeremy.But for some reason,his legs seemed rooted in place,unable to move.
At that moment,a loud bang echoed through the room,accompanied by the heavy thud of something hitting the floor just outside the door.Moreover,the strong smell of smoke began to seep in from the outside,filling the air. Brandon turned his head to look at the door.
A fire had started spreading.
