The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 845

"Where is the jewelry I told you to bring? You say you like me, but when we were together, you never once gave me flowers or whispered a single sweet nothing in my ear. A man as unromantic as you—what woman could possibly love you? And her—she's just as clueless about love, marrying you after only a month, without even knowing what kind of person you are. In my eyes, you're just a cold, ruthless man who doesn't understand romance. No normal woman would give you a second look."

Patti Yale stared at Hawthorne, her teeth clenched. "So stop talking about giving me this or that. Tell your wife to shut up, then turn your back to me and walk into the sea."

Gwyneth watched in horror as Hawthorne turned around in front of her. Her tears were nearly gone, her voice hoarse from crying. "Hawthorne, don't do it! I'm begging you, don't go into the sea!"

Besides the ropes on his hands and feet, a large stone was now tied to Hawthorne's waist.

Patti glared in Gwyneth's direction and snarled, "Shut your mouth! Say one more word, and I'll blow his head off right now!"

From somewhere, Patti had produced a gun and was pressing it to Hawthorne's head. If she pulled the trigger, he would die instantly in front of them. Gwyneth fell silent.

Patti pressed the muzzle against Hawthorne's temple. "Mr. Everhart, aren't you so powerful and capable? Then die for me. As soon as you're dead, I'll release your wife and the children in her belly. I know your wife is the heiress of the Langford family from Starfall City; I wouldn't dare touch her. But you must die today. If you don't, then we'll all perish together. No one gets out alive. Your wife and children's lives are in your hands. Think carefully."

Hawthorne offered no rebuttal, no resistance. He just looked at Patti. "Remember your promise."

With that, he walked unhesitatingly into the sea, ignoring Gwyneth's desperate cries behind him. The water rose from his ankles to his knees, his waist, and finally his neck. Wave after wave crashed over him, submerging his head.
