Don't Fall For Me, CEO

Chapter 1258: Her Breakdown

"Hah, I’ve been with Laura for many years, and everyone in Desrozin City knows we are the real couple. And now you call her your wife? Isn’t that ridiculous?"Joseph sneered sarcastically, and Richard Donovan accepted it all.

"I admit I’ve messed up in certain matters before, but I’m awake now. I will protect my wife and daughter well myself, without others meddling."

Compared to Laura Quinn’s subtlety, Richard Donovan’s words were more direct.

The word "others" instantly cut Joseph off, preventing him from getting close to Laura Quinn.

At this point, Johnson spoke up too: "Joseph, I know the Marsden Family’s situation is dire these days, causing you much distress. But I hope it doesn’t lead you down a path of no return. Let Ms. Quinn leave now, and we can pretend today’s events never happened."

But Joseph immediately rebuffed Johnson’s persuasion.

"Pretend it never happened? Can the Marsden Family still be as it was before? You speak too lightly."

Previously, the Marsden Family was firmly in the top three of Desrozin City’s elite consortium rankings, but after July Quinn’s actions, they can’t even make it into the top fifty.

The immense disparity left Joseph, ambitious as he was, unable to remain calm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have orchestrated this drama.

And now, even the official Vanguard Corps have been alerted.

Even if he releases Laura Quinn unharmed today, he will definitely be imprisoned for some time.

Without him holding the fort, combined with his imprisonment news being disclosed, it would definitely deliver another blow to the Marsden Family at that time.

Therefore, Joseph wouldn’t believe Johnson’s nonsense.

"Then don’t blame us for being ruthless."

Johnson wanted to take Joseph down swiftly and forcibly.

Unexpectedly, Joseph pulled out a remote control.

"Feel free to come at me if you don’t mind Laura turning into bits right now."

It was because of this move that Johnson and Richard Donovan finally noticed the bomb strapped to Laura Quinn.

In an instant, Richard Donovan’s face changed.

He finally understood why July Quinn was sitting at the dining table!

Likely, July Quinn had already discovered the bomb on Laura Quinn, which is why he chose to negotiate with Joseph.

"You bastard!"

He wanted to punch Joseph.

But Joseph despicably held up the remote control, gesturing as if to press it.

Richard Donovan had no choice but to hold back.

"What will it take for you to let Laura go?"

"I haven’t thought about what it’ll take yet, but I feel it’s best to start with one of your legs."

Joseph laughed maliciously: "Shoot your leg now, or I’ll press it."

Joseph believed that this man would never shoot his own leg.

So he wanted Laura Quinn to see who loves her the most in this world.

But what he never expected was Richard Donovan wordlessly grabbing Johnson’s gun.

"No, Richard."

"You can’t, don’t listen to him!"

Laura Quinn and July Quinn both spoke up, trying to stop Richard Donovan.

But Richard Donovan didn’t even blink and really shot his right leg.

As blood continued to gush from that bullet hole, Laura Quinn lost control.

"You damn lunatic, isn’t it enough to torment me? Why do you have to torment others?"

Laura Quinn cursed Joseph, but she didn’t dare rush to Richard Donovan’s side, fearing the bomb would bring him further risk.

Fortunately, July Quinn rushed to Richard Donovan’s side at the first moment, providing prompt treatment.
