Chapter 1668
“Haha! Hahaha!”
The source of this laughter was none other than Cornelius.
Alba frowned as she listened to Cornelius’ maniacal laughter, and at the same time, her heart skipped a beat.
She had a bad feeling.
‘Will this guy do it?
‘Doesn’t he know what kind of consequences he will have to bear if I commit suicide and expose him?
‘Not only will he have to bear the pressure of the Fellowes family, he even has to bear the pressure from that man.’
After laughing, Cornelius said in an extremely gloomy voice, “Alba, you are very smart! As expected of a famous talented woman on the Central Sacred Continent, you can think of such a thing and threaten me with suicide. It’s a pity that you underestimated me. If I dared to come here, it’d mean I have already made enough preparations. Believe it or not, even if you commit suicide here today, nothing will be exposed, and I, Cornelius Lightfoot, will still be able to live comfortably.”
“Cornelius, the walls have ears. Sometimes being too confident is not a good thing!” Alba replied.
Cornelius’ words made her breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Is this guy trying to silence everyone?
‘There is a direct disciple of a Sacred Saint on board!’
Alba did not believe that David, the direct disciple of a Sacred Saint, would not have any means to save his life.
“Really? Then I really want to try, and I don’t believe you will commit suicide.”
“You don’t? Then come on! I’ll make you believe it.”
The two sides fell into silence again.
Cornelius was waging a fierce battle in his heart.
He wanted to bet that Alba would not commit suicide.
In the meantime, Alba was also betting that he would not dare to do anything.
Both were gambling and now, and the winner would take all.
Cornelius felt that even if he lost the bet, what happened today would not spread as long as everyone under Alba’s command was silenced.
This time, he only brought people who he could absolutely trust.
If he won the bet, he could gain the trust of his employer.
Then, he would have a guarantee when he competed for the position of head in the future.
Alba was also very nervous at this time.
After all, this matter regarded her survival.
Her forehead and palms were already sweating.
Several maids and guards surrounded her, ready to fight to the death.
“Miss Alba, don’t worry! If the opponent makes a move later, we will immediately take the Blood Bursting Pill and use our lives to fight to the death to try to create an opening for you to survive,” one of the strongest guards said.
“Miss! Just run away later, and we will do our best to block the enemy for you,” a maid also said.
A bitter smile appeared on Alba’s beautiful face under the veil.
Cornelius came prepared.
If they really fought, how would she escape?
“No! If Cornelius makes a move, you’d better run away by yourselves! If you can escape by chance, go back and tell the Fellows family what happened so they can avenge me.”
“Miss…”
“Stop talking! Cornelius came prepared this time, so it’s possible that none of us will escape.” At this moment, Alba thought of David.
‘Why hasn’t the Sacred Saint’s disciple come out yet?’
There was no way David had not heard what she said to Cornelius.
Cornelius has also stated that he would silence everyone.
‘How can David sit still?’
