Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215 I’ve Loved You
"Thank you!"
Branley Sinclair took the rose, sniffing it gently.
It was fragrant.
"Ouch..."
Unintentionally, her pale, tender hand was pricked.
A droplet of blood emerged instantly at the site of the wound.
"Let me."
Finnegan Springs pinched Branley Sinclair’s hand and gently sucked it with his lips.
"Thank you, husband."
Branley Sinclair smiled happily.
It was as if the prick didn’t hurt at all.
"Look!"
Finnegan Springs moved his mouth away, pointing toward the sky not far off.
Early summer, night hadn’t fallen yet.
The sky was just slightly dark.
"What?"
Branley Sinclair withdrew her hand, eyes fixed on the direction Finnegan Springs was pointing.
There was nothing there.
Bang!
Just then, a sound came through.
Brilliant fireworks streaked the night sky, exploding in an instant!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then came a series of sounds.
Countless fireworks shot up like meteors.
Blooming!
The sky seemed to be lit up completely.
When the first round of fireworks had finished.
The air was still filled with flames.
There were Branley Sinclair’s name.
And a big red heart!
"I love you."
Finnegan Springs whispered in her ear.
"Husband..."
Branley Sinclair hugged Finnegan Springs tightly, kissing him on the lips.
"Thank you."
Few women could resist such romance.
Especially the romance of the wealthy.
Plain and unadorned, and yet dull.
"I have prepared another surprise for you."
Finnegan Springs gently pushed Branley Sinclair away, pointing to the cake in front of them: "The surprise, it’s inside here. Can you guess what it is?"
"Did you make it yourself?"
Branley Sinclair looked at the beautiful cake in front of her, which also had her and Finnegan Springs’s names on it.
A big red heart!
Below it was the date.
Today.
"A diamond ring?" Branley Sinclair smiled blissfully.
"Wrong guess." Finnegan Springs stood beside her, holding up two fingers: "Dear, you have two more chances. If you guess wrong, you could lose your life, you know!"
"Then go ahead and kill me!" Branley Sinclair laughed joyfully, while playfully pinching Finnegan Springs’s body: "You’ve got the guts to kill me?"
Finnegan Springs was telling the truth.
But Branley Sinclair took it as a joke.
"Then I guess, is it the earrings I mentioned wanting to buy the other day?"
She spoke again.
"You have one last chance; make sure to seize it."
Finnegan Springs reminded her.
"Pff! So secretive." Branley Sinclair rolled her eyes at him, pouting her lips: "It’s lipstick!"
"Wrong!"
Finnegan Springs pulled out a piece of red cloth from his pocket, walked behind Branley Sinclair: "Surprises always require closed eyes. Wait here, I’ll get it for you to see."
After saying this, he covered Branley Sinclair’s eyes with the red cloth.
"I hope it’s not a scare!" n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Branley Sinclair was full of anticipation.
Finnegan Springs reached into the cake with both hands and pulled out a sharp knife.
Then he walked behind Branley Sinclair, gently placing it on her neck.
"A necklace?"
Feeling a cold sensation around her neck, Branley Sinclair exclaimed with delight, "Is it the necklace I was talking about these past few days?"
Excited, she tore off the red cloth, only to freeze in shock.
It wasn’t a necklace!
It was a knife, gleaming with a chilling light!
"I loved you once."
Thwack!
Blood splattered across Finnegan Springs’s face.
His white clothes were now stained a dark crimson.
The cake on the table, with its white cream, was likewise splattered with blood.
Branley Sinclair’s eyes widened as she stared straight at Finnegan Springs.
Her mouth opened wide, but she couldn’t speak a word.
Finally.
It still ended in a tragic demise.
"Only with your death can The North Sea truly make up its mind to eliminate Dawson Carmichael and Nelson, and by extension, kill that bastard."
Finnegan Springs removed his jacket, glancing at his watch.
The time for his appointment with Nelson was drawing near.
"With your death, I can become the replacement. The North Sea will have no choice but to let me take control of the Donovan Family." He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood off his face, "Then, the jewel will give me everything I desire. Including respect."
Clang!
He threw the dagger fiercely, burying it in the ground.
Then, he pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Branley, you..."
"Left Minister? Nelson has gone mad! She killed Branley, and if it were not for Dawson Carmichael’s sake, I wouldn’t have escaped her clutches either! You must avenge Branley!"
Finnegan Springs’s voice trembled to the extreme with feigned panic.
"Help... Help me!" As if any more urgency and Finnegan Springs would be too scared to speak.
"What!"
On the phone, Left Minister’s typically calm voice was for the first time tinged with shock.
"Nelson, why commit murder! Speak!"
The Donovan Family was a significant financial source for The North Sea, and Branley Sinclair was their cultivated proxy.
Now, as The North Sea was about to reclaim its sovereignty, Branley Sinclair was killed?
Fright, uneasiness, and even anger, all spread over Left Minister.
"In this world, someone dares to touch the people of our imperial court! Where is Nelson?" Left Minister roared on the phone.
"At my place! In my estate!"
Finnegan Springs cried out in a panic, "You must hurry!"
"Alright!"
Left Minister, having spoken, quickly hung up.
A slight smile played across Finnegan Springs’s lips.
He walked to the monitoring room and saw Nelson standing in front of the main gate, holding several items.
"I’m sorry, my sister. Anyone who stands in my way can only become a sacrifice!" Finnegan Springs pressed the unlock button, and the gate slowly opened.
Meanwhile, he, himself, entered the basement and disappeared within the courtyard.
At the same time.
Within The North Sea palace.
"Your Majesty, Azure Mountain is outrageous! Nelson has killed Branley Sinclair!" Left Minister, donned in a black python robe, knelt in the middle of the main hall.
"I request that you allow me, General Whitaker of The North Sea, to take men and eliminate Nelson and Dawson Carmichael!"
Having spoken, he quietly waited for a response.
"Branley Sinclair is dead?"
On the throne.
Everton Davenport was surprised as he held a vial, "At such a crucial time, the appointed head of the Donovan Family being killed is bad news for us."
The drug was in its final phase of development, and with The North Sea’s impending departure from Star City, a substantial fortune was needed as support.
And Branley Sinclair had been just able to provide the funding.
Now that she was dead, they must support a new proxy.
"Azure Mountain has really gone too far. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not showing mercy to the nun of the Southern Sea!"
Everton Davenport spoke out, "Ishmael Will!"
"Your Majesty, I am here!"
An old man slowly stepped forward, standing in the middle of the main hall.
"Ishmael Will, take care of this matter. I know the death of your junior, Leland Will, and the slaughter of everyone in Ghost Valley, was a blow to you. If it’s troublesome, I will send someone else."
Everton Davenport said with a smile, "Also, leave the matter of controlling the Donovan Family to Bright King. But before that, kill Finnegan Springs. Now that Branley Sinclair is dead, he’s of no value to us."
"Bright is out on errands this afternoon and has not returned."
No sooner had Left Minister finished speaking than he suddenly received a message.
"Speak of Ember Falls, and Ember Falls appears." He said with a chuckle as he took out his phone, recognizing Bright King’s custom ringtone.
But when he saw the message, his eyes widened in shock!
"Your Majesty! Bright has been kidnapped. Please permit me to rescue him with a team!"
Clatter!
Left Minister’s phone fell to the ground.
On the screen was a photo of a bound Bright King.
