Chapter 426: [Bonus - ] Run your mouth until you’re saved
"Don’t miss this chance... You know this might be the last."
Mrs. Deng could only stare at Heaven for the next few minutes, holding her breath as her racing heart echoed in her ears. How could she not pick up on what Heaven was telling her? No matter how Heaven would say it in a roundabout way, Mrs. Deng already knew her fate if she didn’t do anything now.
If she refused Heaven, then that only meant what Axel witnessed today would reach Dominic and Grandma Zhu. Although Mrs. Deng was confident Lionel and Ria wouldn’t do anything to her, they wouldn’t help her either. Silas wouldn’t do anything as well. If anything, he would just replace her with someone else.
However, if she opened her mouth, Mrs. Deng was certain Silas would come after her. Just the thought of it scared her, knowing Silas was different from Dominic. Different in a way that was... bad. So, this matter was simply a matter of whose hand she would die.
"I..." she trailed off, assessing the look in Heaven’s eyes.
Mrs. Deng pressed her lips into a tight line once again, calming her breathing. "Did you... Did you really mean that?"
"Hmm?"
"They will kill me, young madam." Her lips quivered as she confessed to the impending doom she had foreseen. "If you can promise that you will send me away safely, then I’ll tell you everything I know."
"Mrs. Deng." Heaven let out a chuckle, scratching her temple with her index. "It seems you don’t understand. The information you hold equates to how much I am willing to protect you. In other words, unless the information you know will actually make a difference, then I don’t mind making all your problems disappear."
