Chapter 122: The Ultimate Showdown on the Rooftop
"It's too late to explain, Vivian, to introduce to you, she's also dad's daughter." Mr. Dawson thought twice, but still gave Vivian face and didn't deny that she was his daughter.
"Vivian, you call her sister, come on." There was already humility in Mr. Dawson's voice.
Vivian turned her head back some slightly and swept a glance at Ava, but didn't say anything, just shook her head at Mr. Dawson.
At that moment, a slow, rhythmic burst of applause broke out.
"Clap, clap, clap ......"
The three men turned around, only to see James walking towards them step by step, a smirk on his face.
"It's you, it's really you." Mr. Dawson blurted out, "Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this again and again and again?"
Vivian and Ava were speechless with shock on their faces, it was him, it was actually James, it was actually this man who had sent them both the bomb.
"Did you call me here just so I could watch my two daughters in danger?" Mr. Dawson spoke painfully, while questioning sternly, "Why didn't you just come at me? What's the point of blackmailing me with my daughters."
James suddenly laughed, "Come at you? Don't worry, sooner or later it will be your turn, now is just letting you make a choice, after all, back then it was also you who personally put my father in danger, wasn't it? A large part of the reason for my father's unfortunate death is still due to you."
At those words, Mr. Dawson's brows locked heavily, sure enough, he really did come after that incident, among the people who were unfortunately killed in that car accident, there was actually his father.
"You ...... you the surviving child?" Mr. Dawson asked looking James in the eyes in disbelief.
"Yes. I didn't think it was possible, but I'm still alive? And still able to come after you in person for revenge after all these years." James harrumphed up, his eyes covered in scarlet.
Ava was confused, what was the car accident they were talking about, James's father was killed for it, James rarely mentioned his parents to her, Ava only knew that his father died many years ago, but she was not in a position to ask about anything else.
It seemed that this was an old affair between James and Mr. Dawson.
"Listen to me, my wife was in the car with appendicitis, I had to get her to the hospital right away, if I was late she would have died, that's why I didn't save you guys, I have something to hide too!" Mr. Dawson explained seriously word by word, trying to get some understanding from James' eyes, but unfortunately the other party was looking at him with a cold smile from the beginning to the end.
"Don't try to weasel your way out of anything, but if you had been willing to call the police right then and there, my father wouldn't have died! And you, not only refused to do so, but also prevented the driver from going up to the scene, poor my father is living to bleed to death!" James pointed heavily at the man across from him, his body involuntarily trembling due to his excitement.
"Well, I don't weasel, it's all my fault, I can't refute ...... it," Mr. Dawson sighed deeply, lowered his head, and in the next instant looked up abruptly, and cried out, hoarsely.
"I made a mistake, what have you come at me, you let my daughters go, this matter is only related to me alone, why do you do this to them, you let them go!"
Upon hearing this, James' gaze fell onto Ava, and with a teasing smile, he lightly said, "Don't worry, of course I can't afford to let them all die, what's more, I had even proposed to Ava once, so how can I afford not to give her a chance to live?"
Ava turned her face away, not wanting to allow herself to witness this strange and cruel look on his face now, and tried to make her tone as calm as possible by saying.
"Turn yourself in, James, it's not too late to make a mistake."
James snorted coldly and ignored her, instead returning his gaze to Mr. Dawson.
"Listen up, only one of the two of them can live, the choice is yours, take your pick."
Saying that, James took the remote control in his hand and gently pressed a button, soon, the time on the two suddenly sped up, the countdown changed directly from the original two hours to the last thirty minutes.
"You have half an hour to think about it, and at the same time come to say goodbye to the other one, if you don't make a decision after half an hour, both bombs will explode at the same time, leaving no one behind."
"You!" Mr. Dawson was speechless with rage, "You're just mean and cold-blooded, why must you do this!"
James sneered, "In terms of cold-bloodedness, how can I compare to you? I have lived up to this moment now, all the time I am not thinking of seeking revenge on you."
Originally, he originally wanted to destroy Horizon Group step by step through Ava, destroying this bitch's decades of hard work, who knew that he was discovered by Ava later on, destroying his carefully deployed plan for a long time.
And this time, he was determined to do what he had to do to fight them!
Long after his father left, he felt like a walking corpse.
"Dad, you've got to save me, pick me and let me live, okay? I'm the Vivian you've raised for over twenty years, Dad!" On that side, Vivian couldn't wait to plead with Mr. Dawson to pick herself.
James looked coldly at Vivian's life-hungry appearance and couldn't help but hook his lips in contempt.
This time, he wanted to see how this bitch would choose, he just wanted to see his expression of immense agony and pain, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Plop" sound, Mr. Dawson swiftly actually legs bent, kneeled down in front of James, face rose purple, "I beg you, you come at me, okay? It's my fault, let me die instead of them."
Having lived for almost fifty years, it was the first time he had ever knelt for someone, the feeling of humiliation inside him pressed him deeply, but he knew he couldn't get up, giving up all his dignity, he also had to kneel.
James eyes flashed a flash of ups and downs, quickly recovered as usual, not moved, said.
"It's been five minutes, you'd better make your choice quickly, time waits for no one."
Mr. Dawson knocked his head heavily to the ground, saying while knocking, "I beg you, I beg you, please don't do this, I deserve to die, I deserve to die! Don't transfer the grudge to the next generation."
Mr. Dawson's forehead one at a time was actually cracked, Ava saw this and rushed up to stop him, and
"Dad, don't do this, get up, it's useless even if you do, he is determined to torture you."
After all, having spent some time together, Ava knew very well all the paranoia in James' bones, not to mention that as he said, this was a grudge that had been pent up for decades, it was impossible for it to subside just by kneeling down and begging for forgiveness and kowtowing a few heads.
"Dad, save me, I don't want to die, will you save me? I beg you."
Vivian also lunged towards the madness and threw herself on top of Mr. Dawson, shaking his body and begging him to save herself.
"Stop being obsessed, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your sister Bella, if you kill us today, then from the next moment onwards she will be the sister of a murderer, how will people look at her in society in the future? How are you going to let her stand on her own feet?" Ava persuaded bitterly, "James, based on my contact with you, your nature is not bad, helped me in my most difficult time, my heart's gratitude to you has not disappeared, stop in time, don't make the same mistake again and again, in the past you treated me with everything, I personally can forget about it."
"Past fault?" James repeated the words, his voice was permeated with complete sarcasm, "I am dead to the world, I don't need your pity, I didn't think of leaving alive today."
As soon as the words fell, a cold pistol was pressed against Mr. Dawson's head in an instant, and Mr. Dawson's back stiffened violently.
James tightened his grip on the pistol and pushed it harder, "Come on! Tell me the answer."
Mr. Dawson yelped violently, "No!" When he finished, nothing could come out of his mouth as he stammered.
"Hurry up."
James gradually lost his patience, his voice straining little by little.
