His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock




Chapter 1334:

But just then, Lamont seized her arm, pulling her close with a desperate yank. From his bag, he drew a blade, its edge glinting as he pressed it against her throat.

"Oh my God, Catherine!" Zoie gasped, her face drained of color as she covered her mouth in exaggerated shock. She instinctively tried to move closer to Catherine.

"Don't move! Stay where you are!" Lamont snapped, his voice sharp.

Zoie immediately halted and took two cautious steps back, raising her hands in a show of submission. "Okay, okay! I'm not moving, I swear! Please, calm down; don't hurt Catherine."

But deep inside, her heart raced-not with fear, but with exhilaration.

She really wanted him to kill Catherine.

If Lamont actually went through with it, it would be the perfect outcome. Without Catherine in the picture, Johnson would be hers.

Meanwhile, Lamont held the knife tighter, fury burning in his eyes as he glared at Catherine. "Call your brother right now. Tell him to let my son go."

But Catherine was a picture of composure.

"If I were you," she said in a voice as calm as still water, "I'd stop before you make things worse. Do you really believe threatening me or my brother will solve anything? If anything happens to me, do you think my brother will ever let your son walk away unharmed? You're only making things worse for him by doing this." Her words struck like cold steel.

The calmer Catherine was, the more uncertain Lamont felt.

His face contorted, emotions clashing violently.

He was no fool; he knew this act of desperation probably wouldn't work.

Truthfully, he had no intention of harming Catherine.

Even though he had brought a knife with him, he didn't dare harm Catherine with

it. This was a gamble, a bluff meant to force her hand. But Catherine wasn't folding.

Zoie observed the shift in Lamont with growing frustration. She could see he was hesitating.

She wanted to say something, but eventually, she held back.

Now was not the time to reveal her true feelings. She couldn't risk making Johnson dislike her. She had to maintain the act.

Putting on her most convincing look of concern, she gently said, "Sir, please. Don't do anything you'll m regret. Just let her go, and we can talk. I'm Johnson's girlfriend; I can help you with this. I'll speak to him on your behalf. Just let her go; don't hurt her." The content is on
