Chapter 272 The Dark and Sunless Dungeon

In the midst of speaking, Jayson swiftly tied Kevin and carried him to the edge of the boat, about to throw him overboard the next second.

Doing such things seemed like a piece of cake for them in the past, and they even had a vengeful smile on their faces.

Peyton was terrified. Ignoring Nolan’s threat, she hurriedly ran towards. the outside.

“Mrs. Dalton, it’s raining heavily outside, you go in first. If you get soaked and fall ill, in the end, it will be you and Mr. Dalton who will suffer.”

Lucian coldly advised, “Mr. Dalton tried many methods and finally managed to find you. If he had arrived one step later, Kevin would have taken you away. This is the fate he deserves.”

Peyton did not answer and quickly climbed over the fence.

Lucian noticed something was wrong and quickly ordered someone to stop it, but it was already too late. Peyton climbed quickly with a determination to die. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Nolan also followed. He looked pale and sternly said to her, “Peyton, come down!”

“Peyton, don’t do anything foolish!”

Peyton stood by the edge of the boat. The sea behind her roared like a ferocious monster, as if it would swallow her whole in the next second.

Her face was filled with sadness, with traces of water all over her face,

making it difficult to distinguish whether it was rain or tears.

She looked at Nolan and shouted, “You are not a god, what qualifies you to decide someone’s life or death? Yes, I promised to stay in A city, and I broke that promise. I am the one who broke the promise, so if you want to blame someone, blame me. What gives you the right to take it out on others?”

Nolan knew that Peyton wasn’t joking about diving. She really would jump!

Over the course of two years, Peyton experienced a series of setbacks. She had a severe mental illness, and it can be said that her mental world had already collapsed at this moment. Nolan did not dare to provoke her at this time.

“I didn’t take it out on him. You come down first, let’s have a good talk.”

Peyton chuckled, “Nolan, I actually wanted to have a proper

conversation with you, but does it even matter if I talk to you nicely? You’re so used to being authoritarian and never listen to a single word from others.”

“Why are you so selfish? Clearly, you were already engaged to Helena and had started a new life. Why do you still cling onto me?”

“Peytie, because I loved you…”

“Love.”

Peyton sneered, “Where were you when I was kidnapped and almost killed? They all say you’ve been having a rough time these days, but have you ever thought about what kind of days I’ve been living for the past two years?”

“I lived like a ghost, losing all dignity, repeatedly being trampled upon.

There were also people constantly plotting against me, wishing to push me further into the depths of the abyss.”

The wind tousled Peyton’s hair, and her slender figure appeared so helpless in the darkness of the night.

She shouted desperately, “Is this what you call love? Imprisoning me in a dungeon, leaving me with no way out. It was you who locked me up in darkness. I don’t crave your love, I only long for a little bit of light.”

“Someone was willing to break through the cage and give me a beam of light, encouraging me to live and explore a wider world. He said the sea there was very blue, clear enough to see the fish swimming at the

bottom.”

Two clear tears slid from the corners of Peyton’s eyes into her mouth. The bitter taste spread in her mouth.

She reached out her hand and waved it in the air, “I really want to see it, the coral reefs stretching out, and the glowing jellyfish. But I can’t see them anymore. I know what awaits me next is a dark and gloomy prison.”

Peyton seemed crazy, clasping his hands together with a sickly smile on his face.

“Let me guess. In order to prevent me from escaping again, have you already had someone create a custom–made chain for me?”

Seeing Nolan’s subtle change in expression, Peyton burst into laughter.

“Look, I knew you so well. You must have wanted to lock me up. No one could touch me, leaving only you in my world. Were the chains the silver color I liked?”
