Chapter 278 Who Are You?
After school, Liana got into the car, but Catherine didn’t show up. She felt strange and worried, wondering what to do if Catherine didn’t appear. Just when she was about to get out of the car and go back to look for Catherine, Catherine suddenly appeared right in front of her.
Liana was annoyed. Catherine was always the first to leave the classroom, but today, she was so slow. Liana wondered if it was intentional, a way to anger her.
Thinking that Catherine might be deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, Liana became angry. She glared at Catherine with a dark expression and reprimanded, “Why did you take so long to come? Is it on purpose, just to embarrass me?”
Catherine looked at her coldly and asked in an indifferent voice, “Well, I can leave.”
If Liana kept bothering her like this, she didn’t feel like going. She wasn’t interested in going there in the first place.
If it weren’t for Audrey saying that she was also on her way to Grandma’s house, Catherine wouldn’t have planned on going.
Yesenia and Ronin wanted to go with Catherine, but she refused and managed to leave them behind, which delayed her a bit.
Facing Catherine’s icy expression, Liana almost choked on her own saliva. She truly didn’t understand why Catherine’s gaze could be so terrifying. Even when facing her angry father, she didn’t feel this sense of fear, but just one look from Catherine made her whole body shiver.
Liana silently closed her mouth, afraid to speak again. If Catherine decided not to go with her, all those efforts she had made would be for nothing.
Gradually, the coldness on Catherine’s face dissipated. She calmly sat in the car, adjusted herself into a comfortable position, and then reached out to pull down the brim of her hat.
Her small face was instantly covered. Liana also got in the car. As soon as she sat down, she kept her eyes on Catherine. Seeing Catherine remain unmoving, Liana softly called out, “Catherine… Catherine…”
The inside of the car was silent, and not a sound could be heard. Liana secretly rejoiced, a sinister smile appearing on her lips. She had been worried about finding an excuse, but now she didn’t need to find any.
The car continued to drive for a few more minutes when Liana suddenly said to the driver in front, “Bob, pull over for a moment. I just remembered that I forgot something. You guys go ahead. I’ll catch up later!”
The car pulled over to the side of the road, and Liana opened the door gently. After getting out of the car, Liana didn’t leave immediately. She stood still and glanced back, seeing that Catherine was still in a deep sleep. Only then did she feel relieved and walked away.
However, no one noticed that Catherine, who was supposedly asleep, moved slightly. The car continued to drive, silently moving forward without any sound. However, the road became steeper, and the car started to shake more violently.
The driver glanced discreetly through the rearview mirror and confirmed that Catherine was still sleeping, so he stopped the car with relief.
He slowly pushed open the car door and got out, checking the road conditions ahead. Ahead was a section of a broken bridge, which had been halfway constructed but was abandoned due to funding issues.
Accidents frequently occurred as cars unfamiliar with this section of the road would fall off the bridge, resulting in fatal accidents.
The car was about 6 feet away from the broken bridge. The driver tugged at his gloves. He had already released the handbrake. All he needed to do was push from behind the car, and it would fall down the bridge, shattering into pieces.
He had prepared some sleeping pills, and he didn’t expect the girl in the car to sleep like a corpse. It really made things easier for him.
A sinister glint flashed in the driver’s eyes. He slowly positioned himself behind the car and whispered in the direction of the car, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for blocking the way of the boss!”
He placed his hands on the car, preparing to push it towards the broken bridge. Just when he took a step forward, a heavy force landed on his shoulder.
The driver panicked, his breath stopping instantly. He slowly turned around and saw that stunning face and those incredibly terrifying eyes.
Catherine stared coldly at the driver, a hint of a smile appearing on her lips. She said, her voice soft but filled with a chilling dominance, “Surprised to see me?”
“You were pretending to be sleeping?” The driver frowned, staring at Catherine. He couldn’t believe that after so many years in this line of work, he had been fooled by a little girl.
“No!” Catherine coldly denied the driver’s statement. “I was really sleeping, but you made too much noise when you got out of the car and woke me up!”
The driver’s heart sank. He had thought he could do it quietly, but he didn’t expect the other party to wake up. He knew it was time to take action.
He slowly reached into his pocket, which contained a sleeping shot. As long as this needle was inserted into Catherine’s body, she would pass out within three seconds, no matter how strong she was.
Then, he would push the car off the broken bridge, creating a scene of the car catching fire from the outside, destroying all evidence and perfectly covering up his crimes.
The imagination was so beautiful, but when the driver was ready to act, he was dumbfounded. He reached into his pocket, only to find it empty. Watching his awkward actions, Catherine spread her hand in the air, asking, “Looking for this?”
There, on the palm of her hand, lay a syringe. The driver’s eyes widened, his face filled with horror and disbelief.
“How… How did you get it?”
Catherine chuckled coldly. “Humph…”
The bone-chilling laughter made the driver’s scalp tingle. He had been too confident, thinking that Catherine, a mere student, posed no danger. He didn’t even consider her a threat. Now, however, he suddenly realized that things weren’t as simple as they seemed!
Catherine could silently take the syringe from his pocket and stand behind him without making a sound. So, what if she had used the syringe on him instead of tapping his shoulder earlier?
He dared not imagine further…
The icy aura emanating from Catherine made him feel scared, and his mind went into chaos, with his terrified eyes fixed on her as he slowly backed away.
“Who… Who are you?” His trembling voice carried obvious fear, a manifestation of extreme terror.
As he retreated in panic, Catherine advanced step by step. With no way to retreat, he decided to fight to the death. He refused to believe that he couldn’t handle a girl with his skills.
He made a quick move, but Catherine seemed to have anticipated it in advance. She uttered three cold words. ” Go to hell!”
The next second, the outcome was decided.
