He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 493

[Warning: Violence/Disturbing scene.]

Sarah left her father bleeding to death on his bed while she looked around, trying to find a way to escape the guards outside.

She was currently inside a penthouse, so she could not jump out of the window.

She needed something to distract those guards, and as she looked around, she noticed the stove in the kitchen.

Sarah smirked as she found her way out, "As expected, I will not be defeated, not when I haven’t gotten my revenge on her."

Sarah went to the kitchen, turned on the stove, and put all kinds of easily flammable material around the penthouse. She wanted the smoke detector to ring. It would be even better if the whole apartment building burned to the ground, as it would be easier for her to escape if everyone was so distracted.

She didn’t care for the lives of everyone in this building. The most important thing right now was to escape no matter what!

The fire quickly swallowed all the flammables that Sarah threw, and as the fire got bigger and bigger, Sarah hid in the small storage room near the entrance and waited until the smoke detector rang.

The door was slammed open, and the guards panicked when they saw the thick smoke inside the penthouse.

"Lord Klaus! Lady Sarah!" They yelled as they rushed to save their master and mistress.

Sarah knew that was the cue for her to escape. She opened the door slowly and realized the thick smoke had filled the room.

She didn’t waste her chance. The moment the smoke swallowed the guards, she dashed out of the storage room, grabbed the key, and locked the door from outside, making sure the guards would also die in the smoke.

Sarah smirked as she pocketed the key, "This is what happens when you betray me, father. You will burn in hell with those subordinates of yours while I can have a fresh start somewhere."

Sarah knew she didn’t need to worry about the guards chasing her. The whole floor was covered with smoke already, and it was enough distraction for her to escape smoothly.

She knew she couldn’t use the elevator because the fire would swallow the whole building eventually, so she used the emergency exit. She pushed herself to her limit, and her adrenaline kicked in as she descended twenty floors until she found the exit door.

She heard all the screams coming from each floor she passed, but she couldn’t be bothered.

However, she had to admit a scream from a child made her stop for a moment, not because she pitied them. She was just amused by his scream and wondered how good it would be once she could finally get her hands on Kate and Henry’s son.

Sarah left through the exit door directly connecting to the small alleyway next to the apartment building.

As she stepped out, she realized someone had called the fire brigade shortly after she had escaped the penthouse. Many fire trucks lined up outside the alley, with their deafening siren to warn everyone around. So there was a big chance almost everyone would survive the fire she had set.

"Who the fuck called the fire brigade so early?!" Sarah complained as she realized that her plan might fail.

"I called them."

Sarah turned her head once she heard a man’s voice in the alleyway.

There, she saw Henry wearing a black trench coat. He leaned on the wall while crossing his arms, staring straight at Sarah with his snake-like green eyes.

The alleyway was dark, but the light from the fire trucks gave her a glimpse of his appearance.

He still looked handsome, but he had completely lost his youthful glimmer.

He looked grim and hostile.

For a split second, Sarah thought she was staring at Marlon.

Sarah was caught off guard by Henry, but she knew that she couldn’t run away, knowing Henry must’ve prepared his subordinates to trap her escape.

"H—How could you—"

"Find you here?" Henry scoffed. "I knew that you’d pull a stunt like this, so I called the fire brigade and the policemen in case you escaped," Henry said. "You can’t leave through the main door, so the emergency exit door is the only place you can use to escape."

Henry took a gun from his coat pocket and pointed it towards Sarah, "You must’ve known that my aim is very good, Sarah. You saw me in the shooting range when I was in university before. So I won’t miss this shot."

Sarah swallowed her saliva nervously. Her life was in his hands right now, so she wanted to find a way to escape before she got killed first.

"Do you not realize what you’re doing right now, Henry? Killing me won’t give you any benefit," Sarah said. "I’ve killed my father, and I have nobody to rely on. There’s no way I can touch Kate and your son anymore."

"You’re right. You won’t be able to touch Kate and Theo," Henry said grimly. "But killing you will give me peace of mind, knowing the rat who ruined my family is dead."

"Will you stain your hands with blood? I’m sure Kate will be sad knowing that her man is a murderer," Sarah continued to manipulate the situation, hoping that Henry would hesitate.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work against Henry as he held the gun tighter. He put his finger on the trigger, ready to shoot anytime soon.

"What do you know about us, Sarah," Henry said. "Katherine won’t hate me just because I killed the bitch who planned to hurt our son. She will be relieved hearing about your death, and there’s nothing to worry about. She will return to me."

Though Henry said it with utmost persistence, Sarah could pick up the moment of doubt from him.

Sarah knew that Kate was Henry’s biggest weakness, and as much as she hated that fact, she knew it was a key to her successful escape.

"And what if she doesn’t want to return at all? Maybe she’s fed up with you and everything around you. Isn’t that why she left?" Sarah taunted.
