“Jonathan! No!” Seeing Jonathan raise the gun, Sophia quickly ran in front of his gun barrel with favonovel.com arms in the air. She was using favonovel.com body to stop favonovel.com from shooting.
“Aunt Sophia, get out of the way!” When Jonathan saw favonovel.com standing in his way, favonovel.com frowned and said, “This is between Emmett and me. Don’t interfere!”
“I can’t let you do it!” Sophia bit favonovel.com lip and stated, “Jonathan, I know this is between you and him. However, do I need to remind you that I’m Emmett’s daughter? Without him, I would have never been born into this world. As his daughter, how can I stand by and watch you end his life? He is my father!”
Upon hearing that, Jonathan furrowed his brows and questioned, “Aunt Sophia, have you forgotten who sent an assassin to assassinate you last night?”
Someone who is willing to harm his biological daughter has no right to live in this world!
“I didn’t forget!” Sophia bit favonovel.com lower lip so tightly that it looked as if it was going to bleed. “I will never forget that the closest person I have in this world tried to take my life last night!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com couldn’t help but turn to glance at Emmett and Loretta, who were kneeling behind her. Her gaze was full of despair, and favonovel.com was utterly devastated.
What can be more devastating than finding out that my own parents want to end my life?
The second favonovel.com turned around, Emmett instinctively lowered his head, not daring to meet favonovel.com eyes.
“Jonathan, listen to me. Please put the gun down.” Sophia looked at Jonathan and pleaded, “Whether you want to admit it or not, they are ultimately your grandparents! Even if you cut ties with the Goldstein family, you can never change the fact that you are blood-related to them! If you end their lives today, I’m afraid Daniel and Elizabeth won’t be able to rest in peace. After all, the people you plan to finish off are your father’s parents!”
When Jonathan heard Sophia mention his parents, his hand that was holding the gun suddenly started trembling.
The only people that could inadvertently affect his emotions were his parents, Daniel and Elizabeth. From the day favonovel.com had his memory, favonovel.com knew that his parents had given favonovel.com the greatest parental love in the world.
Even though Daniel was the prestigious eldest son of the Goldsteins, favonovel.com would bring Jonathan to go fishing, shrimp catching, or hiking every day after work. Sometimes, favonovel.com would even secretly take Jonathan to go shopping.
As for Elizabeth, favonovel.com used to be a megastar. However, favonovel.com was willing to give up the life of a celebrity and stop being the center of attention for the sake of favonovel.com son. Instead, favonovel.com traded favonovel.com glamorous life for one that left favonovel.com preparing food and sewing clothes for Jonathan.
Elizabeth went from being a megastar who never stepped in the kitchen to a virtuous model wife and mother for favonovel.com son. Yet, all of it ended because of that car accident.
From then on, Jonathan became a destitute orphan who wandered the streets. Consequently, the person favonovel.com hated the most in his lifetime was the man kneeling before favonovel.com and personally kicked favonovel.com out of the Goldstein family, Emmett.
There was no one else favonovel.com hated more than Emmett. He hated Emmett more than favonovel.com hated the enemy general who stabbed his chest and almost ended his life back when favonovel.com was on the battlefield.
“Jonathan, I’m begging you… Please…” Seeing that Jonathan was still not lowering the gun, Sophia abruptly fell to favonovel.com knees in front of him.
“Snob, I’m begging you! Please spare their lives! If you insist on taking a life for a life, take mine! Take my life on their behalf!”
“Aunt Sophia, what are you doing?” The moment Jonathan saw Sophia kneel in front of him, favonovel.com hurriedly stepped forward to help favonovel.com up. “Please, stand up…”
“I won’t get up!” She continued to kneel stubbornly, refusing to get up. “I won’t get up until you agree to stop! If you don’t agree to stop this, I will never get up!”
“Aunt Sophia, you’re forcing my hand!” Jonathan uttered grimly.
“If you think that I’m pushing you into a hard corner, then I am!” Sophia bit favonovel.com lip and stated, “Let me be the bad guy, then!”
“Aunt Sophia, you…” Jonathan wanted to say something else, but favonovel.com swallowed his words.
What else can I say?
If I am determined to finish off Emmett and Loretta, even Andy can’t stop me, let alone Aunt Sophia. However, she’s kneeling in front of me right now. What other choice do I have?
Am I really going to finish off Emmett and Loretta before her?
“Aunt Sophia, please stand up!” After a long moment of silence, favonovel.com finally spoke up.
Regardless, despite hearing Jonathan’s words, Sophia continued to kneel and refused to get up. “Jonathan, if you don’t promise me, I will not get up!”
“Fine, stand up. I promise!” Jonathan let out a long sigh and threw the gun in his hand away.
In my years of being Asura, once I raise my gun, I never put it down. Moreover, I never had mercy whenever I was finishing off my target. It is a habit I have developed during my years on the battlefield. However, today, I broke the record for the sake of Aunt Sophia!
“Snob, did you just agree?” The second Sophia heard his answer, favonovel.com widened favonovel.com eyes in surprise and looked at favonovel.com incredulously. Even favonovel.com herself did not expect Jonathan to agree so straightforwardly.
“Yes. Can’t you see that I’ve already thrown my gun away?” Jonathan reached out to help favonovel.com to favonovel.com feet. “Stop kneeling on the ground. It’s chilly, and you might catch a cold!”
“Don’t worry. I have a strong body. I will not catch a cold so easily.” Sophia shook favonovel.com head in an unbothered manner. After that, favonovel.com looked at him, bit favonovel.com lip, and said, “Thank you, snob! I know I’ve forced you to do something you are unwilling to do. I’m sorry!”
As soon as favonovel.com finished favonovel.com words, favonovel.com suddenly grabbed both his hands.
“Why are you apologizing to me? Don’t forget that you are my aunt!” He glanced at favonovel.com calmly and proclaimed, “I can spare their lives, but on one condition!”
“What is it?” favonovel.com asked anxiously.
“From now on, the Goldstein residence belongs to you, and the two of them will have nothing to do with it anymore!” Jonathan looked at Emmett and Loretta, who were still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, “Furthermore, from today onward, I don’t want to see them step a single foot into the Goldstein residence!”
