My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 98

Three knives struck, quick as lightning!

Peter was trapped in a corner with no more room to escape!

Just as Peter was about to meet his peril, something happened that turned the tables.

Ping!

A sound that sliced through the air echoed in the room. Axel's knife suddenly stopped mid-air as he was about to strike it down, and the steel blade dropped on the floor.

Axel's body suddenly became rigid and motionless.

His eyes were full of fear, as if he just saw a ghost.

Carson, from a distance, was stunned, unaware of what was happening.

Cassie was also dumbfounded, not really sure about what was going on.

She gawked at Peter and then at Axel, but found out nothing.

Axel didn't look injured so nobody could understand what stopped him.

Was there a trap?

Cassie watched in horror.

Just as she was trying to figure out what caused the interruption, a sound of ripping filled the room

and blood started to spurt from Axel's throat.

It was like a fountain! It spewed out to a few meters, and then, with a thump, Axel fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

The look of terror was never wiped off his face.

"Killing without a knife, cutting a man's throat and leaving no trace! Is the man...?"

Carson's face turned pale. Without hesitation, he snapped his own neck and killed himself.

Cassie rushed to Carson but was too late.

She didn't expect things to happen this way. In just a few minutes, both Axel and Carson were dead.

The rich young man that stood watching was now unconscious after peeing his own pants and fainting.

He just witnessed death!

This wasn't something a spoiled, young boy normally could see. How could he take it?

"Who... who on earth are you?" Cassie muttered, looking at Peter.

She handled criminal cases for a living, and she was certainly not a fool. 'Is Peter who he says he is?'

However, seeing the look of shock and horror reflected on his face somehow kept her from pushing forward with her questions.

"They're... dead... They're dead! How can a perfectly healthy man die in seconds?" Peter jumped up pointing at Axel, looking terrified.

"Oh God, I was scared to death! I really thought I was about to die! Cassie, thank you, thank you for saving me and killing him!"

Cassie looked at him blankly. "What did you say? I killed him?"

"Yes, you did! I mean, how would he die if you didn't do what you did at that critical moment? Thank you very much, Cassie. If it hadn't been for you, I would have been split in two by now,"

he said, close to tears with gratefulness. "I will never forget your kindness. You have my word. I'll give you whatever you ask for, gladly with no hesitation."

Cassie looked at Peter, speechless for a while. There were several people in the villa and what had happened was suspicious. Someone did something unusual, she was sure.

"Peter, don't pretend to be a fool in front of me. Let me ask you: who the hell are you? What's more, how did you kill him just now? I barely saw you move. And what did Carson mean with what he said before he killed himself?"

Cassie stared at Peter, trying to find clues from his expression.

"I'm not pretending to be a fool in front of you," Peter explained. "I'm a security guard of Silverland Group. Oh no, I'm a director now!

Cassie, you have to believe me. Did you see me kill him? Did you see me do anything? I know it's not against the law to kill him as I would have been acting in self-defense, but it's really not me."
