The exquisite knife was so sharp that a bloodstain immediately seeped out from the fair neck.
Yan Yu's expression changed drastically from the pain, but Pei Yang remained leisurely and relaxed, leaning against the kitchen counter as if he wasn't the one who had just done it.
“I advise you not to gamble with your life. If I get ruthless, even I will be afraid of myself.” Pei Yang nimbly twirled the hilt of the knife, then pressed his hand against her neck. His voice was calm, with a hint of a smile: “Let me remind you, don’t try to play tricks on me. You’ll only die a more miserable death.”
This laugh sent a shiver down Yan Yu's spine. His laugh was completely devoid of warmth, and it exuded an evil aura.
At that moment, she believed he would do it; he really would kill her. He was fearless and dared to do anything.
Yes, he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person to begin with, how could she forget that?
He could even oust his own grandfather from power, and send his half-brother to prison. Not to mention, he also planted a pillow talker around his father, inducing him to make mistakes and holding leverage over him so that his father dared not raise his voice at him.
Her father always warned her that the most terrifying person in the Pei family was Pei Yang.
But she was already infatuated with him and never took those things to heart.
When Pei Yan had those photos delivered to her, she knew that Pei Yan hated him but couldn't do anything about it. So he gave her all the trivial things he had collected over the years, hoping she would use them as a weapon to ruin Pei Yang's marriage and make Pei Yang suffer.
If Pei Yang didn't care about Xu Jiayue, then the photos of him with these women would just be past romantic escapades. But he cares about Xu Jiayue so much that he's put up with her blackmailing him to this extent; otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting his breath talking to her here.
"I'll count to three, don't test my patience any further." Pei Yang watched Yan Yu's face grow paler and then slowly counted, "One, two..."
"I'll give it to you." Yan Yu was drenched in cold sweat. She knew she couldn't gain any pity from him, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and admit defeat.
Pei Yang then moved the knife away, raising an eyebrow as he waited for her.
Yan Yu gave him the negatives of the photos and deleted the backups on her phone.
Pei Yang turned on the stove and burned the photos one by one, filling the kitchen with smoke and ash.
Yan Yu was choking and couldn't breathe properly, but he remained expressionless, calm and composed even amidst the thick smoke.
After burning the photos, Yan Yu thought he was about to leave, but then she lowered her eyes and smiled secretly.
To her surprise, he stopped at the dining table. She watched as he deftly pulled a hidden camera from the decorative flower basket. Her eyes widened in shock. How did he know there was one there…?
"I told you not to try anything funny, your little tricks aren't enough." Pei Yang crushed the pinhole camera and broke the chip in two.
Yan Yu bit her lip. She originally wanted to film some intimate feeding videos with this camera, edit them, and send them to Xu Jiayue. He had seen through it all along. No wonder he slapped her hands away several times when she was feeding him.
Her father was right; this man was cold-blooded and cunning, and she couldn't afford to mess with him.
But she was unwilling to accept it. She had liked him for so many years, but in his eyes, she was not even worth a rag.
Watching him calmly walk away, she couldn't help but shout at him, "Does she know you're such a terrible person? Aren't you afraid she'll discover your true colors one day?"
