The thug chose to listen to Serenity and gave Carrie a call.
Serenity told the bodyguards to prop him up for the call. The thug would be panting for air while prostrating and
talking at the same time.
Carrie was urged by her mother to call the thugs when the call came in. She happily told her mother, “They’re
calling, Mom! They’re calling! I bet they finished the job.”
She eagerly took the call.
“Ms. Jones, we trashed the woman’s car and beat her up. She’s knocked out cold but still breathing. She’s not dead.
Hurry up and make the final payment. We want to leave Wiltspoon now.”
“It’s good that you didn’t kill her. Snap a photo. I need to be sure that you finished the task before I can pay you.”
“We really beat her up real bad. We left the scene immediately since she was bleeding. How could we possibly have

“Are you sure you hit the right woman?” Carrie was not scared at all when she heard Serenity was mangled,
bleeding, and unconscious. In fact, she felt the thrill. She finally got her revenge.
Serenity should have stayed out of her business. The nerve of Serenity to come in her way! Carrie’s father even
had to apologize to Mr. York.
“Yes, of course. She has a bookshop at the entrance of Wiltspoon School and drives a national car. We’ve followed
her since she left the bookshop. There’s no way we got the wrong person.”
“That’s her, all right. Okay, I’ll wire the money to you. Take the money and leave Wiltspoon right away. Delete my
number, and don’t breathe a word to anyone. Otherwise, I can’t help you.
“But what if you’re scamming me since you didn’t take a picture? I’ll pay half of the money and the remainder after
I’m sure the woman’s beaten up tomorrow.”
“Can you give the money straight away? We’ve committed a crime, but you’re holding half the payment now.”
The thug would have given Carrie a piece of his mind if Serenity did not stare at him to stop him from saying more
than he should. The thug wanted to crawl through the radio wave and strangle Carrie.
“I have the money, and I keep to my word. I’ll pay the remaining amount when I receive the word tomorrow. In
fact, I’ll tip you extra.”
Carrie then terminated the call and went online to wire the funds.
Once the thugs got the money, Serenity gestured for the bodyguards to grab the thug’s phone. They added the
thug’s contact number and used the thug’s phone to send the voice recording to one of their phones.
“The police will be here soon. You should confess your crimes.”
The thugs were at a loss for words.
They were tempted to blast Ms. Jones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith the bodyguard playing the voice recording, Serenity listened to the female voice and realized that it was not
some Ms. Jones. It was Carrie.
Her guess was pretty accurate.
Ms. Jones was a cover name Carrie used.
“Seren.”
Zachary arrived in haste.
Police were dispatched from the nearby police station too. The police car followed behind Zachary’s personal ride.
“Are you alright, Seren?”
After Zachary got the call from the bodyguard, he ditched his clients and hurried here with his security detail.
He got out of the car and took large strides toward Serenity. Putting his hands on Serenity’s shoulders, he nervously
scanned Serenity’s body to make sure she was unharmed. Serenity was fine apart from a few strands of wandering
hair. Zachary sighed in relief.
