CHAPTER 177: CHAPTER 177: IVY SUMMERS LOSES COMPLETELY ONCE AGAIN?

Grimblade advanced step by step towards Damien Lancaster.

Damien’s dark eyes stayed fixed on the person upstairs, his brow furrowed as if in deep thought.

Rachel Shaw cried out, "Damien... save me, save me, save me... I really don’t want to die..."

Grimblade sneered, "Why don’t you two guess who he’s going to save first, who will die first."

"I’m begging you, let me go, I don’t want to die..."

Rachel’s face was covered with tears.

Ivy Summers remained exceptionally calm in the face of danger; she couldn’t bring herself to cry and plead like Rachel.

Because crying was of no use at all.

Amid Rachel’s cries, Damien raised his hand downstairs.

Grimblade whispered in their ears, "Looks like President Lancaster has made his decision."

Rachel stared intently at Damien, not daring to breathe.

She knew the chance of him choosing to save her was slim, but she still didn’t want to give up on life.

For a moment, the silence in her ears was terrifying, with only the sound of her heart pounding.

After deep consideration, the man spoke: "Release... Rachel Shaw!"

"Daddy, save Mommy, save my mommy..." Sophie ran out of the car.

Hearing Damien’s decision to save another woman, abandoning her mommy, Sophie couldn’t hold back.

Even though all lives are precious, choosing whom to save wasn’t wrong.

But that other person was her mommy, his wife.

Weren’t they family?

Why would Daddy abandon her mommy’s life to save another woman?

Sophie didn’t understand and couldn’t comprehend; just two days ago, he had promised he would be good to Mommy, why did he abandon her today?

Sophie couldn’t accept it, she started crying, her small hands pounding against Damien, "Save Mommy, save Mommy, sobbing, save my mommy, Daddy’s a liar, a liar! I don’t want Daddy anymore."

He had abandoned her before.

Now he didn’t want Mommy either!

In his eyes, were she and Mommy just trash?

Sophie’s crying grew more intense, "Daddy, save Mommy, save Mommy, without Mommy, I don’t want Daddy anymore, never want Daddy again..."

Damien tightly clenched his fist, ruthlessly pulling away the crying Sophie, handing her to Julian Jacobs, coldly ordering, "Take her back to the car."

"Sir!" Julian also couldn’t understand why Damien was doing this.

Didn’t he love Ivy Summers?

Why did he choose Rachel Shaw at the critical moment?

Was Ivy really less important than Rachel?

"What?" Rachel, who had prepared to be abandoned, suddenly looked up.

Damien chose to save her!

Had she misheard?

Was this real?

Was she hallucinating?

Damien wanted to save her! Was it really her?

Confirming she was the one Damien chose to save, Rachel laughed, as if reborn.

"Save me, save me, did you hear that, Damien said he would save me, it’s me, he wants to save me!"

Rachel was ecstatic, looking at Ivy, trembling with excitement, "Ivy, did you hear that, Damien wants to save me, I always thought the one he loved was you, now I know I was wrong, you can’t compare with me."

Because at the crucial moment, Damien would always choose to save her first.

This meant that in Damien’s heart, her position was irreplaceable.

The way Damien acted before was not because he didn’t love her, he was just angry.

"Ivy, you’ve lost again."

Ivy withdrew her gaze from Damien, looked at Rachel, and acknowledged her words, "Yes, in his eyes, you are always the most important, you are the one he loves the most, Rachel, you won, I lost completely again."

Rachel didn’t expect Ivy to admit defeat so easily this time; it felt a bit strange.

But upon hearing the despair and pain of abandonment in Ivy’s voice, she quickly dismissed that odd feeling.

Looking at the man behind her, "You heard it too, now can you let me go?"

"Yes, I heard it." The man laughed coldly.

Rachel felt a chill, her voice becoming stammered, "You... you quickly let me go..."

"I will let you go." Saying this, the man kicked Rachel to the ground, quickly binding something to her from the side.

Ivy Summers saw it, that thing is counting down!

Rachel Shaw screamed in panic.

"Let me go, let me go, what are you doing, you went back on your word, Damien clearly chose me, you clearly promised to release me, what is this thing, take it off me, take it off..."

"Heh." The man sneered, venting by punching Rachel Shaw twice, "Rachel Shaw, we’re all villains, and a villain believing a villain’s words, are you that naive?"

Rachel Shaw’s body momentarily froze, as if she understood.

He clearly had no intention of letting her go; he just wanted to test who Damien Lancaster cared about more.

No wonder Damien Lancaster chose her, no wonder Ivy Summers acquiesced to it.

Ivy Summers wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but the man’s voice eerily sounded, "The bomb on her is powerful enough to level this villa, if you can run out in one second, then go ahead!"

Ivy Summers abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Rachel Shaw, "Don’t tie it on me, you’ve been deceived, you were tricked by those two, Damien Lancaster really cares more about Ivy Summers, not me!"

"Do you think I’m stupid and didn’t hear what you just said?"

The man pulled Rachel Shaw up, glanced at Ivy Summers, "Since you’re the abandoned one, and you look so pitiful, rest assured, I’ll make sure you die easier than this woman."

Rachel Shaw’s eyes widened.

Ivy Summers wasn’t actually abandoned.

It was clearly her, it was clearly her.

Ivy Summers stared at the bomb counting down on Rachel Shaw, not knowing if it was real or fake anymore.

Some bombs can be handmade, these desperados know a lot of things.

It might really be true.

Ivy Summers’ forehead also sweated coldly.

Grimblade dragged Rachel Shaw to the window, letting the people below see clearly, and shouted loudly, "President Lancaster, your woman is about to be blown up by a bomb, aren’t you coming to save her?"

Ivy Summers tightened her lips, as expected, this person wanted to go down together.

Damien Lancaster stared intently at the thing on Rachel Shaw, not knowing if it was real or fake, if it were, then no matter how Ivy Summers hid nearby, she would die.

When choosing, Damien Lancaster knew clearly Grimblade wanted revenge, so he made him choose the woman he cared about the most, saying he would let her go, but Grimblade hated him so much, how could he really let go of someone he cared about.

So, Damien Lancaster chose Rachel Shaw!

This was a mess Rachel Shaw herself created, she was the one who wanted to harm the child first, provoked these people, naturally, she must pay the price herself.

But at the moment, Ivy Summers was still in Grimblade’s hands, he couldn’t leave Ivy Summers alone.

"President Lancaster, please come up within five minutes, otherwise I’ll just gently press this switch, these two women, whether you care or don’t, will die."

Damien Lancaster clenched his fists, "You will die too."

"Yes, I will die, but do you think I’d be afraid of these? I originally had a worthless life, now to drag your wealthy lives down with me, isn’t it worth it?"

The man laughed crazily, especially terrifying in the night.

"You have only five minutes to consider."

Damien Lancaster was clear that Grimblade wanted to perish together.

But without hesitation, he still stepped forward...

"Don’t come up!" Ivy Summers shouted.

Damien Lancaster looked up.

Ivy Summers shouted, "He wants to die together, whether you come up or not, both of us will die, don’t come up and die in vain."

Ivy Summers wasn’t sure if the bomb was real, but it was true that gasoline was splashed here, just a little spark, and this place would become a sea of fire.

After Ivy Summers finished speaking, a knife was directly placed across her neck, "You’re courting death! That man didn’t choose you just now, yet you are still saving him, is there a more foolish woman than you?"

Ivy Summers swallowed, her whole body tense, "I know persuading you to turn back seems useless, if you want to kill us, then just do it."

The man sneered, "Seems you really love that man named Lancaster, aren’t you cheap?"

"You wouldn’t understand."

Ivy Summers looked at Sophie below, who was crying in pain, tears lingering in her eyes.

She had promised Sophie two days ago to give her a home with mom and dad, to make her a happy child with parents.

But it seemed she would break her promise again.

If someone had to die today, Ivy Summers didn’t want Damien Lancaster to be one of them.

Because having a dad is better than having no parents at all.

If both parents were gone, what would happen to her three children.

It couldn’t be.

Ivy Summers shouted, "Damien Lancaster, don’t come up! All three kids are with you now, make sure to take good care of them, especially Sophie..."

Ivy Summers looked at Sophie with red eyes, "Sophie has suffered too much; you must give her double the fatherly love."
