Chapter 42 There's News About Mrs Bolton

The next morning, after the rain had cleared, Luke received a phone call and rushed out in a hurry.

His car drove up to our marriage home. What was he doing here? Had he discovered something about me?

A few workers were standing in the front yard. The one in charge spoke up as soon as he saw Luke, "Mr Bolton, we have placed the sculpture you requested. Would you like to take a look?" A sculpture!

According to legend, Undine had no soul. The only way she could obtain one was through marriage to a human. However, if her husband were unfaithful, she would kill him.

This statue depicted the goddess in her white gown, emerging from the water, hands raised as if to claim. her husband's life.

In that moment, she was both the epitome of beauty and of vengeful wrath,

"Mr. Bolton, do you approve of the work?" the artist asked.
