Chapter 298
298:
Kylee, her lips curling into a smug grin, leisurely pointed the camera at him. “Since you’re such a fan of filming, how about we make you the star? Give me your final words,” she remarked, her voice dripping with mockery.
“Final words?” Jude’s voice caught in his throat, his face draining of color. “W-what do you mean?”
Kylee ignored Jude’s mounting terror, her expression remaining unreadable. His earlier bravado had only fueled her ire, solidifying her resolve. There would be no second chances—not this time.
With chilling calm, Kylee glanced over at the lead bodyguard and gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod. Her voice dropped to a whisper, venomous and cold. “Jude doesn’t deserve to walk away from this. The only way to deal with a snake like him… is to make sure he disappears for good.”
Horror flashed across Jude’s face, his entire frame quivering as the gravity of his predicament dawned on him.
Was Kylee truly going to end his life—just like that?
How could she do this?
What the hell was she thinking?
Killing someone like it was nothing—she was out of her damn mind!
Frantic, he began to shout, the fear evident in every syllable. “Kylee! You can’t do this! If you kill me, it won’t stay hidden! You’ll be caught!”
Seeing Kylee’s unwavering stance, Jude finally collapsed into tears. “Kylee, I was wrong! Forget the money! Just get me out of this country! I’ll do anything you say!” His voice broke, a desperate plea hanging between them.
Kylee’s expression didn’t flicker. “It’s far too late for regrets. But before I decide your fate, I need to ensure you’ll never breathe a word of this to anyone.” Her tone was icy, and as she spoke, a sinister glint sparkled in her eyes—a promise of dire consequences.

Out of the corner of her eye, Cynthia, who had been quietly observing the confrontation, felt a jolt of shock. She hadn’t imagined Kylee could take things to such an extreme.
“Kylee… you can’t possibly mean to… are you really considering killing him? We don’t have to resort to this! Just send him overseas!” Kylee’s voice quivered uncontrollably with each word, betraying her fear.
She had aligned herself with Kylee simply to outmaneuver Linsey and score some favorable coverage. But the situation had spiraled into something far darker than she had anticipated.
“Shut up!” Kylee’s shout cut through the tense air, her glare fierce enough to silence Cynthia on the spot.
Cynthia recoiled, her pulse racing, as a cold, heavy dread settled over her, suffocating her thoughts.
Witnessing this side of Kylee was scaring Cynthia.
“Get on with it!” Kylee snapped, her voice razor-sharp with impatience as the lead bodyguard hesitated.
Without another second’s pause, the lead bodyguard drew a knife, inching toward Jude with measured, deliberate steps.
Panic surged through him. He shook his head frantically as he struggled to break free, but a crushing grip pinned him in place—there was no escape. Terror coiled around his throat, choking off any words. His eyes stayed locked on the blade, every glimmer of metal a silent promise of the danger ahead.
Meanwhile, Linsey and Collin watched the nightmare unfold on the screen.
Linsey’s breath hitched. Disbelief clouded her face as she instinctively grabbed Collin’s hand. “Kylee’s not actually going to kill him… right?”
