The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 590: Chapter 533: Underestimating Kevin Clark
When she heard the explosion at her original residence, Charlotte Lane was genuinely frightened.

But she quickly calmed down.

She trusts Kevin Clark.

And Kevin Clark has never let her down.

The gunshots and the cries from the Silver Palace around her all tell her that Kevin Clark is coming to pick her up.

The gunshots around her are getting closer, and someone runs in from outside.

When he approached, Alice Eugene grabbed his collar tightly and harshly asked, “What happened!”

“It’s the people from Dark Radiance.” The person stuttered, “And the people from the Hundred Demons Pavilion, and a group of people with unknown power.”

“How could it be them! Wasn’t the residence blown up!” Alice shouted.

“Yes, it was blown up. But… the brother in charge of detonating didn’t send any message. They disappeared.”

Alice threw him off: “A bunch of useless people!”

After scolding them, she looked at Edward Kirsten.

Compared to Alice’s excitement and anger, Edward Kirsten was much calmer. He looked at Charlotte Lane and ordered Alice, “Then we’ll face the enemy head-on.”

“Yes.” Alice nodded and left. Before leaving, she glared at Charlotte Lane.

There are still many gun muzzles pointed at Charlotte Lane, who didn’t dare to move recklessly for a moment.

“I really underestimated Kevin Clark.” Edward Kirsten said.

Charlotte Lane looked at him without speaking.

“What do you think… what will be the outcome tonight?” Edward Kirsten looked at Charlotte Lane gently.

Charlotte Lane said, “Do you think… you still have a chance of winning?”

“Of course, there is. Although it’s small, there’s still a chance.” Edward Kirsten said, “As long as there is, we shouldn’t give up, right?”

“Yes.” Charlotte Lane said.

Edward Kirsten looked at her and said after a moment of silence, “You seem to have a lot of confidence in Kevin Clark.”

“Yes.” Charlotte Lane replied.

Edward Kirsten smiled, “Do you think Kevin Clark, who’s outside the periphery, can save you from so many gun muzzles?”

Charlotte Lane also gave a soft smile, “He can try.”

“Do you think I’ll be willing to?” Edward Kirsten asked again.

“It’s just a matter of moving your lips, what’s there to be reluctant about?” Charlotte Lane said.

Edward Kirsten’s smile was bitter, and he seemed to have no sense of urgency for his life being threatened. His voice suddenly softened, “Enigma… I suddenly think it would be nice for us to die together.”

In the darkness, Charlotte Lane’s eyes flashed.

“Wait and see.” Edward Kirsten said, “Let’s see if we will die together tonight, or if Kevin Clark and his group will die together.”

Charlotte Lane glanced at the road beside her, and just as she was about to gather strength, Edward Kirsten suddenly called out to her, “Enigma.”

She looked up at him.

“Let’s chat for a while.”

Charlotte Lane looked at him and didn’t move anymore.

Edward Kirsten’s face had a gentle smile, “Little Enigma, have you ever thought about what would have happened if I hadn’t saved you back then?”

“I have thought about it.” Charlotte Lane said softly, “Most likely, I wouldn’t have had the chance to stand here.”

The wide courtyard was bathed in dim light, struggling against the darkness. It was surrounded by gunshots and fighting sounds.

The two of them stood at a distance of seven or eight meters, and the people holding guns next to them became the only quiet place amidst the chaos.

Edward Kirsten kept looking at Charlotte Lane’s face: “When I picked you up at the time, I also thought of throwing you into the laboratory as one of the many subjects.”

“Why didn’t you do it?” Charlotte Lane was genuinely curious.

Based on her understanding over the years and the information obtained from Alozon Kirsten, Edward Kirsten has been cold-hearted since he was young.

He had a poor understanding of any emotions.

He didn’t have much affection for his parents or sister.

In his eyes, there was only what his father told him was right or wrong. Just like how his father told him to protect Harris Kirsten, he protected her.

But there were no extra emotions.

He was too much like a robot programmed by a father.

But to her, Edward Kirsten was different.

“If I were to say why…” Edward Kirsten really thought about it, but he couldn’t come up with an answer, “I don’t know.”

Charlotte Lane furrowed her brows slightly because of his answer.

“Maybe it’s because Enigma is too beautiful,” Edward Kirsten smiled and said, “The moment I saw you, I wanted to be kind to you and protect you. So… I can’t answer that ‘why.’

Charlotte Lane didn’t respond.

Edward Kirsten didn’t say anything either.

The two looked at each other, listening to the gradually approaching gunfire.

As another explosion sounded, Charlotte Lane quickly turned and ran behind a rockery.

Some of the gunshots aimed at her were fired instinctively.

“Don’t shoot!” Edward Kirsten yelled.

Charlotte Lane’s speed was fast, but a bullet still grazed her arm. She managed to dodge just in time, and the bullet only ripped through her clothes rather than her skin.

Edward Kirsten signaled for the surrounding people to surround her from behind the rockery, but when they arrived there, they found that no one was there at all.

Edward Kirsten was also dumbfounded for a moment.

Then he looked towards the peach blossom tree by the wall in the backyard.

Charlotte Lane climbed the peach blossom tree and reached the second floor of the villa.

Edward Kirsten tried to go inside the villa to find her, but at this moment, the people outside broke into the courtyard.

He couldn’t enter the villa and started fighting with the intruders.

The fighting outside was still fierce, but as soon as some people broke in, many retreated back and focused on protecting Edward Kirsten.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Lane went straight to Alice Eugene and Edward Kirsten’s room after entering the villa.

She found two guns in their room, checked if they had bullets and were usable, and then went back downstairs to help.

The outside battle continued.

Charlotte Lane didn’t see anyone she recognized.

Not only could she not see the desired Kevin Clark, but she couldn’t even see Edward Kirsten, who was surrounded by people.

She didn’t care too much about that, found cover, and started shooting at people.

A portion of the firepower was directed at her from behind as she was being attacked.

The battle lasted a long time, and Edward Kirsten’s men gradually decreased in number.

Finally, Charlotte Lane saw Kevin Clark’s figure.

She had discarded seven or eight guns beside her, all of which were her own used guns, taken from the opponent’s hands.

After finishing off the people around her, she glanced at Kevin Clark again and started looking for Edward Kirsten.

Edward Kirsten disappeared at some point.

But… they were trapped in the outer perimeter and couldn’t escape anyway.

Keeping an eye on her surroundings, Charlotte Lane searched for Edward Kirsten.

Aside from Edward Kirsten’s men, she was the most familiar with this place.

There was a narrow path connecting the front courtyard to the backyard, and Charlotte Lane moved slowly along it.

Suddenly, she felt something was off, and at the same time, voices were heard from afar—Kevin Clark and William Lane shouted, “Lila!”

Charlotte Lane dodged one bullet to the side, but another one immediately followed.

There were snipers on the other side, and at this speed… there was more than one.

Charlotte Lane dodged again, but as she ran behind a pillar, a third bullet came in.

The snipers were predicting her next position, so Charlotte Lane immediately changed directions, catching a glimpse of a figure in her peripheral vision rushing towards her.

Everything happened too quickly for Charlotte Lane to even recognize who the figure was; instinctively, she grabbed the person, intending to dodge with them.

However, the person used a force in the opposite direction, protecting her by holding her in their arms.

Charlotte Lane heard the sound of a bullet passing through a body, and the scalding hot blood splattered on her neck.

Her whole body ran cold, and she immediately turned her head to look at the person who had protected her.

Edward Kirsten’s left chest was drenched in red on his white suit…
