Chapter 271 A Fatal Choice
The servants approached, dragging the cage toward the lake.
The entire Hargreaves family was in complete disarray.

Asher spoke up, “Mr. Clark, are you really planning to kill us? I admit I was wrong about the basement incident, but couldn’t you give the Hargreaves family another chance?”
“You had plenty of time earlier to beg my fiancée for forgiveness, but I didn’t see any of you take that opportunity. So there’s no point in wasting more time
now.”

Timothy’s gaze was cold. “You didn’t think being locked in the cage was the end of it, did you?”
Jennifer glanced sideways at Timothy. That was what she had thought.
Was this man actually serious?
Asher had thought the same thing.
After all, Jennifer was his sister. Timothy wouldn’t actually go through with killing them.
But as the cage inched closer to the lake, panic spread through the Hargreaves family like wildfire.
In desperation, Sarah cried out, “Asher, do something! I can’t swim!”

“Swimming wouldn’t help at this point
anyway.”
Daniel, who had remained calm until
now, was starting to panic. He didn’t want to die either.
He looked up at Jennifer and pleaded, “I know about the song now. Sarah tricked me, and that’s why I kept making you suffer. I understand how you felt back then. Could you give me another chance?”
Jennifer heard his words and knew he was only saying this because he feared death.
Suddenly, it all seemed rather pointless to
her.

Timothy held her hand and said, “Since you wanted a show, let me arrange it.”
Jennifer glanced at him and finally nodded.

Only then did Timothy speak, “Let Daniel out.”
The cage stopped moving, and Daniel was brought out.
Daniel’s legs turned to jelly with fear. He couldn’t believe Timothy had let him out
so easily.
Could it really be that simple?
Jennifer was also puzzled by Timothy’s actions but kept quiet. She preferred not to comment on anything involving the

Hargreaves family.

With Daniel freed so easily, the remaining prisoners exchanged bewildered glances, but no one dared to speak up.
In their moment of hesitation, the cage had already reached the lake’s edge.
Sarah screamed out, “Asher, Dylan, I can’t
swim!”
Asher, his feet already in the water, snapped to attention and looked at Jennifer. “Jennifer, we were wrong before. Just tell us what you want us to do!”
Jennifer remained silent.
The cage continued to sink.

Dylan lifted Sarah. “Jennifer, Sarah’s mother saved your life, and now you’re trying to kill her?”

Jennifer watched as the cage sank until only one corner remained above water, barely allowing three people to keep their heads up for air.
Timothy finally spoke up, “Here’s your chance, you three. Soon, the cage will sink further, leaving only enough air space for two people to breathe.”
Asher’s composure cracked. “What exactly do you want?”
“Aren’t you all supposed to be family, blood being thicker than water? Didn’t you promise to stand together, to make

Timothy’s voice was ice–cold. “Now it’s time for your family to make a choice. I’ll give you three minutes to decide who to sacrifice. The other two can live. You have my word.”
Jennifer stared at Timothy in disbelief. What a ruthless idea!
But it felt so satisfying!
After all, she’d been emotionally
manipulated by her family since
childhood. That sickening feeling would
stay with her for life.
Upon hearing this, Daniel looked
worriedly at Jennifer. “Does it have to be this way?”

Timothy shot him a cold glance. “If you’re so concerned, why don’t you jump in and make the choice for them?”
Daniel immediately shut his mouth.
Sarah’s voice trembled with tears. “Asher, Dylan, this is all my fault. Jennifer only turned against the family because she hated me. Just let me die.”
After she said this, neither Asher nor Dylan responded.
An eerie silence fell over everyone.
When Sarah received no reply after her declaration, her heart sank.
They weren’t actually going to let her die,
