Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 319

Noelle recoiled in shock, instinctively scooting backward.

“L-Landon…”

Was Landon… going to kill her?

But in the next moment, Landon simply tossed a utility knife to the floor in front of her and said coldly, “Since you claim you saved my life, then return everything the Jensen family has taken from me over the years. Once you do that, my life is yours to claim.”

Noelle’s face drained of color. She kept retreating, trembling with fear.

Finally, she understood—Landon truly wanted nothing more to do with her.

But even if she dared to kill him, even if she wanted to, how could she possibly return everything the Jensen family had taken? Years ago, the Jensens had clawed their way up from obscurity into the upper echelons of Veridian City’s elite, and it was all thanks to Landon’s relentless support. If the Jensen family had amassed a fortune of a billion dollars, at least nine hundred million of that was because of Landon.

Now he wanted it all back? How was she supposed to do that?

“What’s wrong? Can’t pay it back?” Landon sneered, his smile cold and merciless—a devil straight from the depths of hell. Noelle went utterly white, collapsing on the floor.

Landon stood over her, his gaze icy and pitiless. “Everything I ever gave your family already repaid the debt from years ago. You were the one who got greedy and set your sights on things that never belonged to you.”

Each word he spoke seemed to drag Noelle deeper into an endless abyss.

Shaking, she looked up and met Landon’s chilling, menacing eyes. What he said next robbed her of the last trace of color in her cheeks.

“Noelle, back then, in that dangerous place—was it really you who saved me?”

He’d never questioned it before. After all, if someone else had rescued him and his mother, why hadn’t they come forward for a reward? Noelle had been the one who called for help, the one waiting when the ambulance arrived. He’d never doubted her.
