NovelStartWith help from a woman named "Ms. Gardner", Betty returned to Solana City successfully. After that, she hid in a single-story house in a small village on the outskirts of town, just like a wanted criminal.
She only dared to roam around nearby and only left the house to purchase necessities. Other than that, she didn't dare to journey too far.
She had no guts to stay at any hotel or inn. She feared that she would be captured by Jasper's men the moment she showed her face in the city.
Her living condition was akin to a rat living in the sewers. This ignited the fire of hatred within her even more. She couldn't wait to get her revenge so that she could get out of her current situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt nightfall, Betty and Zoe agreed to meet at a quiet café in the suburbs.
When her coffee was served, Zoe caught a whiff of it and pushed it away in disgust.
"What's this? Horse shit? Is this even drinkable?" Betty, on the other hand, drank her coffee calmly. "It's coffee from civet poop." "Poop my ass. Just one sniff was enough forto tell that it was animal poop. This is just like shit!" Despite that comment, Zoe still didn't forget to tease Betty. "It seems like you've really turned over a new leaf, Betty. You're even able to stomach such a disgusting drink. You're quite adaptable, aren't you?" "It's quite meaningful to be able to experience country life," Betty commented. She then took another sip of the coffee expressionlessly.
At that moment, Zoe's phone rang. She got up and went outside to answer the call.
Betty's eyes went dim instantly. She bit down hard on her finger until it bled. Then, she dripped a few drops of her HIV-infected blood into Zoe's coffee.
She smiled slyly as she stirred the coffee with the spoon.
By the tshe was done, Zoe had returned to her seat.
"We're close friends, Zoe. I know that you deserve more than this drink." Betty put on a pitiful look on her face. She pleaded, "I know that you're reluctant, but could you just have a sip? Could you just accept my good intentions?" Betty was as humble as a lamb even though she used to be from a wealthy family. Zoe was pleased to see Betty's current demeanor in front of her.
She was feeling thirsty anyway. Unsuspectingly, she picked up the cup and took a big gulp of coffee.
Betty suppressed her urge to smile. Deep down, though, she was roaring with laughter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoe put down her cup gracefully. She went straight to the point. "Let's keep things short. I am in agreement with the partnership that you mentioned last time.
"But what plans do you have? After what happened last time, they would surely enforce tighter protection over that idiot. Will you have a chance to take any action?" "I heard that Cyrus Taylor is pursuing Lauren." Zoe jeered. "With Alyssa to matchmake them, I'm afraid your grandfather will be all for this marriage. Even if Javier were to step in, he might not be able to stop them at all.
"Since Cyrus is pursuing her, I'm sure that they will have to go on dates. They'll definitely be out on their own, right? We don't have to worry about not having any opportunities to strike." "I think you're being too simple-minded. The Taylors are talented people. None of Alyssa's brothers are easy to deal with." Right now, Betty was sharper and more conniving than before. "Cyrus Taylor is a cop from the Criminal Investigation Division! You will be kidnapping someone from an officer's side. Aren't you being too unrealistic?" "You don't have to concern yourself about that. I have an expert who can help me." Zoe raised her eyebrows proudly.
Betty frowned. "An expert? Who is it?" Zoe beckoned to Betty to ccloser. Then, she uttered a mysterious word, "Sir." Jasper couldn't stop worrying about Landon. So, he found tto pay him a visit.
Landon was in the president's office at Harper Group.
He put down the documents in his hands. Jordan had brought his medication to him. He stuffed the pills into his mouth and swallowed them.
"Why are you taking so much medicine, Landon? Is your gastritis acting up again?" Jasper furrowed his brows. "I'm fine. I'll be better after taking these pills and getting more rest." As Landon was feeling exhausted, his replies to Jasper beclaconic.
Worry filled Jasper's eyes. "Rest? Did you even rest? Jordan has toldthat you barely slept every day. You stay up all night to work. Are you trying to work yourself to death?"
