NovelEnglishThe man's voice trembled as he laid his last card on the table.
"Heh..." A cold laugh slipped from his throat, slow and smooth, almost musical. Even so, it sent chills down the man's spine, making him feel like screaming.
"You really thought I wouldn't find out? What did Abbey offer you to make you risk your life?" The n'Abbey' made the man collapse to the floor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYeah, Connor wasn't someone to mess with. He'd find out everything! "Please, don't kill me! I'm still useful! I swear, I have value!" The man broke down completely, begging for his life.
"Too late." Those two icy words cut through the air.
The cold, dark barrel of the gun was aimed at him once more.
When word got out that Flora was hurt, it spread like wildfire across Lone Island.
Amanda, Kruz, and Ethan rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard.
"Ma'am, you should head back. Ms. Flora hasn't woken up yet. The boss said no one's allowed to visit while she's sleeping." Amanda peered through the glass into the hospital room and saw Flora looking so fragile on the bed. Her heart twisted painfully. "Who the hell did this!" Kruz couldn't stop himself from cursing. If he figured out who was behind this, he'd make them pay, no doubt about it! Flora's hands were everything! And someone purposefully hurt them! Even Ethan, normally so composed, had a face full of anger.
"Where's Connor?" Amanda asked after a moment of silence.
"The boss had to leave for something urgent." Flora was lying there in a hospital bed-what could be more urgent than that? Amanda had a hunch about what Connor was up to.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn Lone Island, Flora didn't have any real enemies. If anyone wanted to hurt her, it had to be Abbey. Today, things were about to change.
Over at the White family estate, Abbey was glued to her phone, watching the news.
Seeing the picture of Flora lying in a pool of her own blood, Abbey laughed so hard she nearly cried.
Hahaha...
Serves her right! That's what she gets for crossing me! Abbey's hatred for Flora had even surpassed her love for Connor. It wasn't just about Connor anymore.
It was jealousy-pure and simple.
Abbey had always been talented, always admired. But Flora overshadowed her completely, and Abbey couldn't stand it. So, she wanted to see Flora destroyed! Abbey zoomed in on the screen, laughing like a madwoman.
