Chapter 54
Hazel’s POV:
“What are you doing! Let her go!” Arthur roared.
George also shouted urgently, “Caroline!”
I merely frowned slightly. “I told you, I don’t have much patience. Hurry up.”
As my grip tightened, Caroline’s neck began struggling more obviously. She couldn’t breathe, tears streaming down her face.
“George…” she cried, looking at him with pleading eyes full of desperation.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell dead silent.
None of the onlooking guests dared make a sound. Even their breathing became cautious, afraid they’d become the next target.
Several staff members who wanted to intervene wisely stopped in their tracks.
I glanced at Alexa and Dante from the corner of my eye. They exchanged looks without speaking, but their eyes were filled with determination.
Even though I had made my move, they still stood by my side.
I knew this, and I kept it in my heart.
Of course, I wouldn’t actually let Caroline die. As a doctor, I knew exactly how far to push it. I could make her feel like she was dying, but nothing would actually happen to her.
So her face began turning purple, her eyes filled with terror, her face twisted in agony.
George gritted his teeth and actually lowered his voice to shout at Dante, “D–daddy…”
Arthur also called out with a face full of frustration and anger, “Daddy…”
I heard the man beside Joseph almost burst into laughter, barely holding it back after Joseph shot him a look.
Dante cleared his throat, seeming a bit uncomfortable with this sudden “promotion.”
Alexa’s face was also flushed red, clearly struggling not to laugh out loud.
Arthur said coldly, “That’s enough, Hazel! Let her go!”
He stood there not daring to move, obviously afraid I might do something even more extreme.
Very normal. To him now, I was an uncontrollable lunatic.
George didn’t dare step forward either.
I looked down at Caroline, my lips slowly curving upward.

Aly side was dearly sweet and cute, but she was terrified as if she’d seen a demon.
Her whole body went told, fear emerging from the depths of her eyes.
“Mini” She let out another pained moan, hei face almost turning deep purple.
She suddenly used all her strength to turn toward Dante, calling out hoarsely and with difficulty, “Dad… Daddy..*
Only after the word came out did I release my grip.
She collapsed to the ground like a broken doll, her powerless body hitting the floor, cold sweat soaking through her collar.
Arthur and George immediately rushed forward, lifting her up from both sides.
Before leaving. Arthur gave me a cold look, gritting his teeth as he said, “If anything happens to Caroline, I won’t let you get away with it!”
With that, he left hurriedly carrying Caroline without looking back.
George also glanced back at me before leaving.
He seemed unable to believe what I looked like now–his expression complex beyond description.
He said quietly, “I honor my bets.”
Then he quickly followed after them.
I raised an eyebrow, watching the three of them leave, a hint of coldness at the corner of my lips.
“There’s still the lap around the venue! Why are you running so fast!” Alexa shouted after them.
The other onlooking guests, seeing the drama was over, also tactfully dispersed back to their positions.
But I could still hear whispered discussions around us.
Obviously, today’s incident was destined to become gossip material for this shooting range for some time to come.
Alexa looked at me like she was looking at an idol. “Hazel, you were so cool! Can you teach me how to shoot?”
Dante also showed a relaxed smile. Obviously, after the whole thing ended, he was relieved too. “I really didn’t expect your marksmanship to be so amazing. I thought we were definitely going to lose.”
Alexa lifted her head proudly. “See, you’re not as good as me. You need to learn from me–have faith in Hazel.”
Dante laughed, looking at me with determined eyes. “Yes, from now on I’ll believe in Hazel unconditionally.”
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a bit conflicted.
From the first time Dante stood up to protect me and treated me as his sister, I had also considered him and Alexa as my siblings.
