Chapter 1091

As soon as Joshua finished his sentence, it was so silent that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Fiona narrowed her eyes and first glanced coldly at Joshua, then at Luna. Then, all of a sudden, she
sneered. “You’re lying to me.“

She turned to look at Nigel who, at this moment, had only three pieces of rope holding him onto the giant
rock, and curled her lips into a bitter smile. “There’s no going back anymore, now that I’ve done
something like this! “

“How do you know that? “ Joshua let out an exhale and continued, “Fiona, you know better than anyone
that if there’s someone out there who can help you get out of this and guarantee you an entire lifetime of
safety, that person is me.“

With that, he took a step forward and said, staring at Fiona with a gentle expression. “Fiona, I know
that you’re trying to get your revenge by taking Nigel’s life alongside yours, but at the same time, you’ll
be dying, too. I don’t believe you when you say you don’t have anything left to look forward to in this
world. If you release Nigel right now and let Luna take him away from Banyan City… I promise I’ll treat
you well in the future.“

Fiona bit down on her lip upon hearing this.

It was not that she wanted to die. After all, she was only zo, so she still had a long way to go in life.

However, she could not stand living her life in poverty anymore. This was why as soon as she found out
her bone marrow was compatible with Nigel’s, she enlisted Dr. Robert’s help to forge a diagnosis of
terminal illness so that she could stay by Joshua’s side for the rest of her life.

She did not want to die either, but…



Fiona lifted her head and stared at Joshua with red- rimmed eyes. “You’re lying to me; you can’t possibly
protect me. If you wanted to, you wouldn’t have

tried to expose me, and I wouldn’t even be in this situation in the first place! “

Joshua’s expression darkened when he saw Fiona’s response. He knew that his guesses were correct.

Fiona was doing this simply because she thought she had no other choice. In reality, she did not want to
die at all.

She was a greedy woman.

How could a greedy person possibly give up living, knowing that there was wealth and prosperity still left
in this world?

Joshua let out an exhale and tried to steady his voice. “Fiona, if you still want to live, believe me when I
say I’m your only choice.“

With that, he took out a contract from his pocket and proffered it to Fiona. “If you don’t believe my words,
then we can sign a contract. If after you let go of Nigel and returned home with me, and I failed to protect
and marry you, then all of the assets belonging to Lynch Group will be transferred to your name.“

Fiona widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this.

Luna, too, furrowed her brows. When did Joshua even have time to draw up this contract?

She had been with him the entire day, but how did she not notice him doing this?

Besides…



To transfer all of Lynch Group’s assets to Fiona’s name if he failed to protect her…was a heavy bet to
place.

“Come nearer. I can’t see clearly!” Fiona squinted to read the contract in Joshua’s hand, but because the
words were too small, she could not make out anything at all.

Joshua took one, then two steps forward, his calm gaze still fixated on Fiona.

On his third step, however, Fiona suddenly brought the knife up and warned, as though she recalled
something, “Stop!”

She could not let Joshua come any closer.
