Chapter 1027: Chapter 1019: Marry You as My Wife 1

She might not be so blindly confident as to say she was Aiden Shaw’s one true love for life, but she could absolutely trust Aiden Shaw’s character.

He was definitely not the kind of man who ate from his bowl while eyeing the pot.

And this Rochelle Lee, who was already falling apart, didn’t look like she was putting on an act either. If she really was pretending, Tiana could hand her a Best Actress trophy on the spot.

So there had to be some kind of misunderstanding in all this.

"Miss Lee, I don’t know what kind of entanglement there is between you two, but my grandaunt has said she’ll stand up for you. Putting the knife down won’t do you any harm. If things are really as you said, I won’t hold it against you."

Tiana Thorne’s voice was very serious, very solemn, yet there wasn’t the slightest trace of anger in it. She spoke with her calmly, and you couldn’t tell at all that she was the one currently being held hostage.

Rochelle Lee shook her head. "I’ve heard about your reputation too. You’re the type who repays every grudge. How could you just let this go?"

As she said this, her gaze hardened, and she spoke to Tiana word by word: "Things have come this far. As long as Aiden Shaw agrees to take responsibility for me and marry me, I’ll let you go."

Even though Rochelle Lee’s crying was pitiful, at this moment she still managed to provoke a flicker of anger in Tiana’s usually tolerant heart. "Are you trying to negotiate terms with me?"

"Do you have a choice?"

Tiana directly grabbed her hand. Her red lips lifted slightly, a cold smile glinting in her eyes. In that moment she looked dangerously alluring.

Rochelle Lee panicked. "Y-you... what are you going to do?"

Tiana casually curled her lips. "I’ve never liked being threatened. The only thing you can threaten me with is my family. As for this life of mine—if this life is gone, tell me, do you think the people here will let you walk away?"

As she finished speaking, her hand had already tightened around Rochelle Lee’s.

Rochelle Lee was thrown into utter chaos, blurting out anxiously, "Don’t move! I really will kill you, I swear I will, don’t push me!"

"Then press it against my neck and use force."

Right then, everyone’s heart rate shot up.

It looked like Tiana was going to use Rochelle Lee’s hand to kill herself on the spot.

This kind of extreme choice was something Rochelle Lee had never imagined. The instant the blade pierced a fraction into Tiana’s neck, she let out a scream and yanked her hand away.

The knife immediately clattered to the floor with a crisp sound.

Rochelle Lee’s legs went weak and she sank limply to the ground.

Aiden Shaw strode forward, pulling Tiana Thorne into his arms and putting some distance between them and Rochelle Lee.

Lowering his head, he looked at the cut on her neck. At the sight of blood his pupils contracted. The rebuke on the tip of his tongue turned into aching concern. "Does it hurt, Sixteen?"

"It’s fine. Did you forget I’m a doctor? This spot wouldn’t really injure me. It’s just a superficial wound."

Hearing this, Aiden Shaw still gripped her hand tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.

Even though he knew Sixteen had her own plan and that she’d done this purely to get herself out of danger, he still couldn’t stop the chill of fear afterwards.

If Rochelle Lee had truly meant to kill, things wouldn’t have ended like this.

"Don’t you ever do that again."

Tiana knew she’d scared him, and she’d scared her mom and her older brother too. She nodded. "I promise."

Rochelle Lee was still crying, lost and helpless. She lifted her eyes to Tiana, bit her lip, and said, "I fell into your trap."

"You’re not evil at heart, and you didn’t really try to kill me. You just wanted your child to have a complete family. Why choose the most extreme way?"

Just now she had also taken Rochelle Lee’s pulse. She did indeed have a child.
