“This is impossible!” Hulda turned pale and said subconsciously, “You chose me. How could you shoot her if you didn’t try to save me?”

Alston’s expression was indifferent. As the heir to his family, on every vacation, he was sent to train with the military by his father ever since he was little.

The Smith family also had a training place, so Alston had never missed a single day of hard training except for that four months when he was in a coma.

He had absolute trust in his marksmanship, and he would never let Cynthia die as long as he was allowed to shoot.

The shot seemed to go straight to Cynthia’s heart, but he had calculated the range and angle. It would only cause a minor injury and never endanger her life.

He knew Jeff definitely had another plan, so Alston used one shot to distract Jeff’s attention from Cynthia so that the danger she encountered would be minimal.

He would be at ease only if everything were under his control.

“I’m good at shooting and won’t let her die.”

Hulda understood his words immediately.

She struggled to think about every detail, and her voice began to tremble. “You rushed down from the wheelchair to protect me, regardless of your own legs. This… isn’t this because you like me? You were obviously protecting me!”

Alston frowned when she mentioned this. He didn’t want to reveal the news that his leg had recovered so early. The previous plan was to drive his Uncle Clare out of the company gradually.

But Alston didn’t expect Cynthia to be kidnapped. To prevent any further troubles, he had to speed

up the process.

“Jeff wanted me to suffer, so he certainly would focus on attacking me. And the other target was you. Although I had arranged an ambush, you were still involved because of me.”

Alston apologized, “This was our fault. If you want anything, ask for it. As long as you don’t go too
