Chapter 1196 This Is A Ploy
Bastien seemed to have figured something out. Hostility burned brightly in his eyes. “There’s no way you’re able to
say anything good after all the evil you’ve committed! You must be lying to me. You’re just trying to trick me!”
The next moment, King fired his gun at Bastien’s right leg. Bang! Bastien hissed in pain as his right leg collapsed
under him. He glared at King furiously.
“You’ll know if I’m telling the truth when you see your father,” King mocked him coldly. “Back then, she had already
accepted your request to dance, but she didn’t want to marry you.
If it were another woman, do you think she’ll be able to back out? And you think she did that to protect you? It’s
merely because Natalie looks like Jennie! It’s normal that you don’t believe it, Bastien. But I don’t need you to
because you will never be with Natalie!”
“Y-You!” Bastien’s leg was throbbing with pain, and he felt like his heart had been shattered to pieces.
However, Helma remained steadfast in her loyalty to Bastien. She walked over to his side and tried to talk some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsense into him. “Why are you doing this to yourself, Bastien? You two can’t be together! And she’s already dead!
Look at me.
We were meant to be together. Will you please be mine? I will help you plead for leniency and protect you. I will
give you everything I have, and you will receive nothing but the best. As long as you remain by my side and spend
the rest of our lives together hand in hand…”
Helma’s love for him had no bounds, and it was evident in every word she spoke. She loved him so much that she
even abandoned her dignity. She was willing to do anything for him, even if it was listening to a madman’s father!
However, Bastien had once again trampled all over her sincerity. His leg was injured, but he pushed Helma away,
who had been holding him up. “Go away! I don’t need your pity! You’re the daughter of that crazy man. There’s no
way I’m going to love you!” he spat coldly.
Helma sobbed uncontrollably. “I-I’m not pitying you. Bastien, I really love you from the bottom of my heart.”
“F*ck off! Stay the f*ck away from me!” Bastien repeatedly swatted at Helma like he had gone crazy. “You’re
disgusting, Helma! Don’t touch me. I don’t want to see you ever again! I will never be with you!”
His words were like knives stabbing her heart relentlessly.
I never thought that he wouldn’t even look me in the eyes despite being in such dire straits. I’m clearly the most
suitable woman for him, yet he chooses to obsess over a woman he will never have a future with.
Helma stood aside, absolutely heartbroken. She could only watch as the person she loved most turned into the
person that hated her the most. Death would be better than enduring this pain.
King had watched as the entire scene descended into chaos. He looked at how pathetic Mikhail was and how insane
Bastien was acting, and his lips curled into a smile. “Jen, I’m sure you’re watching this from heaven. I finally
avenged you! If you had known that Mikhail was such a person, would you have chosen me back then?”
He let out a heavy sigh.
Now that I’ve said everything I wanted to, there’s no need for any more mercy.
King turned to the side and ordered, “Allen, capture every single member of Loang’s royal family. Those who
cooperate will be spared, and those who resist will die.”
“Got it, King!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough King and Blaze were very powerful, they had not sent that many of their people to infiltrate the royal
family’s guards. Therefore, they were not that weak.
However, Mikhail was too absorbed in reliving his painful memories. Unable to pull himself out of his sorrow, the
guards had lost their core member, and the entire situation became disadvantageous for them. They were no
different from lambs awaiting slaughter.
Mikhail sat on the throne with tears streaming down his face. “Jen… Jen…”
As Natalie watched him go through emotional turmoil from a distance, a whirlpool of emotions surged within her.
Even though she found out Thomas wasn’t her biological father after his death, she never expected someone like
Mikhail to be her dad.
Now that she knew, the truth was a little too much to bear.
Following Natalie’s line of sight, Patricia saw what she was looking at and couldn’t stop herself from taking Natalie’s
hand in hers. “I’ll tell you something, Natalie. Back then, Daniel and I had run away to a small village in Chanaea
due to a misunderstanding and saw your mother there. To be honest, I could tell that she was a skilled doctor. She
also carried herself with a regal aura. There was no way she was just an ordinary village woman.”
