Chapter 350: Chapter 350: I Want You Dead
Matthew Sullivan chuckled lowly, like a snake flicking its tongue, his scorching breath sprayed on the side of Evelyn Clayton’s cheek, "Evelyn, you’ve driven me to this point, shouldn’t you compensate me?"
Evelyn Clayton dodged away, not wanting Matthew Sullivan’s lips to touch her. She gritted her teeth, "Matthew, you brought this upon yourself!"
"Really?!" Matthew retorted angrily, a cold laugh escaping his lips, "Fine then, in that case, let’s rot in the mud together!"
With that, Matthew suddenly twisted Evelyn’s body, his hands mercilessly gripping her neck, tightening bit by bit.
His eyes were bulging as if he were a demon crawling out of hell, "It’s all you, you ruined me!!"
Evelyn’s face flushed crimson in an instant, helplessly slapping at Matthew’s arms.
She seized the opportunity to smash her bag fiercely against Matthew’s face!
The contents of the bag scattered all over the ground, the phone flew out and struck Matthew’s brow, causing him to cry out in pain, his expression growing increasingly fierce.
Without hesitation, Evelyn grabbed a small knife that had fallen to the ground.
It was something she usually kept in her bag for self-defense, now put to good use.
Clutching the knife handle tightly, Evelyn backed away step by step, her face turning from red to white.
"Matthew..." Evelyn struggled to suppress the tremor in her voice, "Calm down, if you lay a hand on me, kill me, you’ll be caught sooner or later, your life will truly be ruined!"
Matthew slowly lowered the hand covering his brow, where a gash had opened, oozing crimson.
He regarded Evelyn sinisterly, a bleak, cold smile crossing his lips, "Do you think I’m not already ruined?! Evelyn, even if I die, I’ll take you with me!"
Seeing that Matthew had completely lost his reason, with no possibility of negotiation, a cold light flashed in Evelyn’s eyes.
"Fine then." Evelyn smiled coldly, "Let’s die together. Matthew, you don’t think I’m afraid of you, do you?"
Matthew was evidently provoked, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes, and the next second, he lunged at Evelyn!
His aim was clear, to seize the blade from Evelyn’s hand. Without hesitation, Evelyn slashed fiercely in front of her—
"Ah!!" A gash opened across Matthew’s chest, the pain further aggravating his already shaky nerves.
Almost as if he couldn’t feel the pain, he grabbed hold of Evelyn’s hand.
Evelyn seized the chance to call for help, "Help, someone!!!"
The surroundings weren’t entirely desolate, Evelyn pinned her last hope of survival on that, dodging Matthew’s assaults as she ran forward.
During the struggle, Matthew suddenly charged at her, and Evelyn dared not hesitate, fiercely hurling the knife.
She couldn’t kill, couldn’t leave a criminal record, and Matthew mustn’t get hold of the knife either—
Matthew at this point had tackled Evelyn to the ground, pinning her ruthlessly beneath him.
Once more, he squeezed her neck, his eyes blood-red.
"Evelyn, just die, once you’re dead, I’ll be relieved..."
Evelyn’s eyes gradually turned scarlet, her voice growing hoarse and weak.
"Matthew, let go of me, I’ll give you... give you money, to leave here..."
At the mention of money, a fleeting hesitation crossed Matthew’s eyes.
Evelyn caught this change, pressing the advantage, "Give you money, so you can leave this place where you can’t hold your head high..."
But it was only a moment’s hesitation, Matthew quickly became ruthless again.
He tightened his grip, gritting his teeth, "But what to do, I still really want to see you die..."
Just then, a car’s headlights suddenly shone towards the two of them!
