Elizabeth did not answer, she simply gazed at him in silence.
“Do you believe I won’t deal with you as well?” Without waiting for her response, he gripped the gun in his hand with a crazed intensity.
Elizabeth’s pupils contracted, but in the end, she remained where she was, unmoving.
His eyes were red, and the hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably. His finger rested on the trigger, shaking for a long time, but he still couldn’t bring himself to pull it.
He had lost his mind, but in the end… he still couldn’t bring himself to truly hate her.
Elizabeth looked at Kaiden and finally spoke, “Kaiden, you lost from the very beginning.“.
Every word struck deep. “I returned to the country not to compromise, but to deceive you. Only by making you believe I couldn’t escape would you relax your surveillance of the Stenson family, allowing my family to leave safely.”
Kaiden’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. Suddenly, he realized it had all been intentional. She had deliberately made him think she had given in, deliberately let him revel in the joy of almost having her, deliberately made him ignore the movements of the Stenson family.
But from the very beginning, she had never intended to stay.
Javion stood behind Elizabeth, his gaze heavy as he looked at Kaiden.

“You are not worthy of her.”
These words completely shattered the last of Kaiden’s reason. He lunged forward, throwing a punch at Javion, but Javion sidestepped and
countered with a heavy blow to Kaiden’s abdomen.
The two were instantly locked in a fierce struggle, each punch landing with force, the air thick with the scent of blood.
Elizabeth stood to the side, feeling a rare sense of nervousness. She had long known about Javion’s feelings for her.
In her previous life, during the earthquake, she was trapped beneath the rubble, on the verge of death, and the last thing she saw was Javion digging with his bare hands, his palms covered in blood, hoarsely shouting her name:
When she died in his arms, the despair and pain in his eyes were not the emotions one would have for a stranger.
It seemed he loved her, but had never spoken the words.
So in this life, she contacted him as soon as she went abroad.
She just hadn’t expected that Kaiden would go so far as to threaten the Stenson family with explosives, forcing her to return. So she had no choice but to play along, pretending to submit while secretly making her own plans.
In the end, Kaiden was pinned to the ground by Javion’s men, his face covered in blood, yet he still stared at Elizabeth with unwavering intensity.
“Elizabeth…” His voice was hoarse, “Don’t go…”
Elizabeth looked down at him, her eyes devoid of both hatred and love.

“Kaiden, we are even now.”
With that, she turned and walked toward Javion.
Kaiden howled behind her, his voice as desperate as a dying beast.
But Elizabeth never looked back again.
