“Mr. Seet, don’t worry. Susan cannot escape because the police are looking for her too. I believe that she will be caught soon.”
Evan’s gaze looked dull.
Once we catch her and avenge Grandpa, I want to marry Nicole.
However, Susan is scheming, and it bothers me that she is nowhere to be found now.
After ending the call, Evan ordered John, “Dispatch more men for the search. I want to catch her as soon as possible.”
Nodding, his assistant acknowledged, “Yes, Mr. Seet.”
Already predicting that Evan would do so, Susan was prepared. She stared back at her unrecognizable reflection in the mirror with satisfaction.
The most dangerous place would be the safest place.
Evan, I’m sure you didn’t expect me to be right under your nose.
The hallucinogen I added to Nicole’s milk tea was very effective, and I shall continue to use it.
Nicole will be tortured to death before I get caught. Does Evan want to witness it?
Well, he doesn’t have a choice because I will make that happen.
Evan, you have pushed me to this step. Nicole asked for it. How dare she take my place beside you?
She deserves it.
If I go to hell, I will drag her down with me.
A sinister smile and terrifying expression appeared on the reflection of the unknown face in the mirror.
Meanwhile, Avril pondered for the entire night and could not think of another better solution.
Therefore, she made a decision boldly.
She was going to swallow her ego and get closer to him.
“Urgh, there is nothing else I can do. If I want to be shameless, I have to go all out,” she muttered.
She took a deep breath and began to prepare for her plan. She even went out to purchase wine and perfume.
After that, she came back to see Stephen in the living room. To ensure her plan goes smoothly, she blurted out, “You don’t have to leave! I will not pester you and will leave instead. You can stay here.”
She flashed a smile before she headed to her bedroom.
Sitting on the curved sofa, Stephen furrowed his brows. There is something wrong with Avril’s behavior today.
Maybe she finally got the message and dared not fool around anymore. It is a good thing.
For the rest of the day, Avril tiptoed around Stephen like a mouse who saw a cat.
Stephen was relieved.
However, by the time night fell, he was in for a big surprise.
Out of the blue, he heard a knock on his door. Thinking that it would not be Avril who had been hiding from him all day, he did not hesitate to open his door.
To his surprise, he saw Avril standing outside with a bottle of red wine in her hand. He could even smell the perfume she sprayed all over her body.
“What are you doing here?” He demanded.
“I stayed out of your sight the entire day. It is nighttime now, so can we talk? Maybe for an hour? Otherwise, I will be contented with half an hour,” Avril replied.
“Come in,” Stephen reluctantly said.
The woman followed him into the room and casually took two glasses. She slowly filled them with red wine. One was for her, and the other was for Stephen.
“It is a beautiful night. Let’s have a drink,” she offered.
Stephen frowned at what she said. It is getting late, yet this woman is here to drink with me?
She has been hiding from me the entire day…something is not right.
Regardless, he picked up the wine glass calmly but poured it into another porcelain cup beside him when Avril was enjoying her drink.
Looking at his empty glass, Avril refilled it.
Like earlier, they had another glass each.
“Here, have another one,” she offered.
After three glasses, Avril’s face began to turn red. She glanced at him with a smile and asked, “Is there anything different about the wine you are drinking?”
Stephen just stared at her without saying anything.
Avril turned her glass upside down and answered her own question, “This wine is special.”
“How is it special?” Stephen questioned.
Confident that she would win him over, she confessed. “This wine is specially made and laced. I spent a lot of money to get it brewed.”
