Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Avenging My Son

Nolan Lawson staggered back a couple of steps, yet the knife remained firmly clutched in his hand, tears welling in his eyes, "His mother died when he was young, it was just me who raised him. I failed him, never giving him anything good, and now I have to see him go before me. Young Madam, what did he do to you to deserve such hatred? Hatred so deep that you’d want to kill him!"

"I didn’t kill him, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t kill him. I was framed. You can kill me, but think about it, if you kill me, would Mason Nightshade let you go? The real murderer of your son would roam free, facing no punishment whatsoever." Looking at Nolan’s bloodshot eyes, Aurelia Shaw knew that whatever she said was useless, she could only stall for time until Mason returned.

The knife she used for self-defense had been taken apart and left in the bathroom.

"I know what I say now won’t help, and I definitely can’t provide evidence, but someone definitely planned this deliberately. I don’t know if the person knows that Nolan is your son, but if they do, perhaps they anticipated you would avenge Nolan. Do you really want to become someone else’s weapon?"

Nolan’s expression softened.

Aurelia quietly grabbed the pen on the table and hid it behind her, about to persuade Nolan a few more times. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t understand reason, a little thought would highlight the few questionable areas. Solving this peacefully would be best since resorting to force was disadvantageous for her at the moment.

Just as Aurelia thought things might take a turn, a piercing scream erupted, snapping Nolan back to attention. He gripped the knife again, pressing it against Aurelia’s throat.

Ha! That voice was damn familiar!

Aurelia just wanted to curse. It was Sophie Nye again!

...

Sophie Nye, worried that Nolan might change his mind, was eavesdropping outside the door. Who would have thought Nolan would actually be moved by Aurelia’s few words? If things continued this way, her covert manipulation of Nolan, along with Nolan’s murder, would all be exposed!

Sophie decided to rush in and provoke Nolan.

Seeing Nolan holding Aurelia hostage, Sophie paled, feigning a frightened look, "Nolan, are you rebelling? Our Nightshade Family has treated you well all these years, is this how you repay us?"

"Madam, I..." Nolan’s face showed bitterness.

Sophie shouted sternly, "I order you to release her immediately. You’re old now, you’ll hardly earn a living outside. We kindly kept you in the Nightshade Family, but it turns out you’re an ungrateful wretch. We should have chased you and your damned son out long ago!"

Aurelia: "..."

Could your acting be any more fake? Every word you say is calculated to incite Nolan. Are you wishing she’d be killed right away?

Nolan’s eyes flared red, filled with a fierce fury, his face twisted like a demon. He raised his hand, the sharp blade descending toward Aurelia.

Sophie’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

Aurelia’s gaze turned sharp, stabbing the pencil into Nolan’s abdomen. Taking advantage of his pain-induced bend, she twisted her body and darted toward the door.

Sophie’s eyes flashed with malice, such a perfect opportunity to kill this little wench, she couldn’t let her escape.

She reached out to push Aurelia back.

Due to the medication, Aurelia was physically weak and powerless, forcing herself to muster the strength to move. Sophie’s push was definitely trying to send her to her death.
