Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 1699 Just Think of this Place as a Nightmare

“Brother, what are you trying to do?”

Ebby suddenly saw the madness in Clark’s eyes.

Clark instead just laughed, “Look, the Close family has committed too many sins through the years,

no? Taking into consideration all of the ordeals we have gone through in the country, and although at

first glance we were guided by our grandfather, it was still us in every missions. We all have parents,

and if you stand in the shoes of our victims, wouldn’t you feel that you don’t have a conscience?”

“Conscience? Brother, what are you saying?”

Ebby stared hard at Clark and scanned her surroundings. These people were all victims of the Close

family.

It was not easy for them to train so many men throughout the years which exhausted most of their

wealth and energy. Now, they were all summoned by Clark to this place, which made her feel a little

unease.

Kelly was in a frenzy too.

“You unfilial thing, I have given you the reins of those men so that the Close family will have a way of

backing out when things get dangerous. What are you trying to do now?”

“We are going to get buried together and die together. After all, this is what Alison wants to see. In my

life as a father, I can’t even leave behind anything meaningful for my child. I thought leaving her with

some wealth would give her a life without worries, but now I realize that my child isn’t even concerned

with that at all. She just wants the Close family to be destroyed. If that is the case, I will make it come

true for her. However, my Alison is a girl, I can’t let her hands get bloodied, so I will do it for her.”

Clark was very serene when he spoke as if he was talking about the nice weather of the day. On the

other hand, both Kelly and Ebby was scared out of their wits.

“You unfilial son, did you lose your mind?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Brother, you can’t do that!”

However, Clark put on an innocent expression, “Why can’t I do that? I think it’s the best for everyone.

Alison is right, the people in the Close family all have great sins. This is the only way we can seek

salvation and wash away our sins. Maybe we can even secure a good chance in the next life. If there is

a next life, I will never lose my child anymore. I will hug her tightly and won’t let her get taken away by

anyone. I won’t let her suffer a difficult life.”

As he spoke, his words slowly turned into a fit of laughter. His face was an expression of satisfaction

and longing.

“Brother is crazy! Dad, he’s brainwashed by Alison! He’s out of his mind! You men of the Close family,

get lost! Go get that bomb in his hand. Fast!”

Ebby didn’t want to die just yet.

She was only in her forties. How could she die?

She still had a long life ahead of her.

However, those men seemed like they were deaf to Ebby’s words. They had flooded the whole place

until there was no way of escaping.

Ebby’s expression drastically changed, and so did Kelly’s expression.

“You unfilial son, are you trying to kill your own father?”

“So what? I am dying with you too. I will make peace with you when we are in the afterlife.”

As he said that, Clark removed the safety on the bomb.

Ebby immediately screamed at the top of her lungs due to shock.

“Clark, you maniac! I want to get out! Let me get out!”

She started to run outside like crazy, but those men under Clark’s command opened fire and shot her

on her leg.

The intense pain caused Ebby to stumble onto the floor as she lost her footing.

The usual noble and majestic lady was now a picture of embarrassment.

Kelly was completely startled too as he tried to get out of the house, but now that Ebby was shot, he

was utterly shocked and his feet had glued to the ground.

Clark looked at the safety which was making some mechanical sound and produced a sarcastic smile.

“I never thought that you guys are afraid of death. It turns out that Alison is right all along, your so-

called justice is just an excuse to cover up the dirty deeds you have committed. It’s just fine, I am not a

saint either, so we can die together now. Our deaths can add to Alison’s honour too. This is what the

Close family has owed Alison! From now on, she no longer needs to shoulder the filthy name of the

Close family anymore. She will be Tracy forever! She is Chad’s granddaughter! She will cease to

having anything to do with the Close family!”

As he announced all that, Clark’s eye became reddish too. A streak of hot tear trickled down his

cheeks.

He was unwilling to part with his daughter!

But he knew that he had done many wronged things to her!

Since the Close family was a taint in her eyes, then she would no longer be part of the family.

Everything was justified as long as she was happy.

“You unfilial son! Unfilial son!”

Kelly was just about to snatch Clark’s bomb away, but at the same time, with a loud bang, the whole

ground was shaking.

Alison’s body jolted as if she had realised something. Immediately, her face became pale.

“Dad—”

She wanted to turn around, but she was grabbed by her mother hard.

“Don’t go!”

“Mum?”

Alison gazed at Mrs. Close who was looking very calm and serene, and she couldn’t conceal the shock

on her face.

How could she be so calm?

“Mum, that must be dad! He---“

“This is the only thing he can do for you. Alison, your father regretted losing you the most in his life.

However, he’s still a man, and I am the one who couldn’t bear the pain of losing you. All those years, I

wasted my life away in a blur, and it was your father who has shouldered everything for me. He always

looks so tough, yet I know that he’s very upset and tormented. Now that you’re back, your father is the

happiest man in the world. He told me that in the years you’re not around us, he felt like life was

meaningless. Now, he finally knows how to carry on with his life. Whatever you wished and wanted to

do, your father has done it for you. He said that you’re a girl, so you shouldn’t involve in all those

fighting and killing. If you continued to kill, you will have too much blood on your hands, and you would

pay for the unnecessary sins one day. Your father said that your life has been too difficult, and the

Close family has owed you too much. He said that you can’t have your next life ruined too. This is the

only thing he can do for you. Your father doesn’t wish for you to be Alison. You will continue to be Tracy

and forget about this nightmare.”

Mrs. Close’s lengthy words finally caused a huge turmoil in Alison’s heart.

“No, that’s not it, mum, let me go, I want to check on dad. Mum!”

Alison wanted to struggle and break free from Mrs. Close, however she noticed that there were dark

blood coming out of her mouth.

She was immediately frantic.

“Mum, what’s wrong with you? Mum, I’ll bring you to see a doctor. Hang in there!”

Alison’s hand was swiftly grabbed by her mother.

Her mother’s eyes revealed an unusual light of gentleness.

“Alison, there’s no need to do that. Your father has moved on, and I am going to go with him too.

Although your father is a man of few words, he’s a really good man to both me and his daughter. He’s

born in the Close family, and he is also the eldest son of the family, so everything in his life is pre-

arranged without him being able to have any say in. Like it or not, he has to do all those things.

However, you are our only weakness. For your sake, we can put aside our so-called principles and

morals. As long as it is something you want, we will make it happen for you. Your father told me that

you came home this time with a mission to be completed. Twenty years ago, we have lost you. We

really lost you. You must wish so much that you were never part of the Close family, and it is not the

blood of our family running in your veins.”

“No, that’s not true, mum, no.”

Alison finally broke into tears.

In truth, her father and mother knew everything!

“Mum, don’t die just yet! I beg you, don’t die! I want to be by your side too. I never think like that, and I

for sure never want you guys to die. I will beg Chad to keep you guys imprisoned for life. I still have

parents, and they are you guys! How can you be like this? How can you abandon me again?”

Alison was wailing like mad, and hot tears were flowing down endlessly and dripping on Mrs. Close’s

hand, which caused her heart to ache.
