Chapter 521

LG suddenly stood up and approached me. In response, I glared at her fearlessly and questioned, "Why did you lead me here?"

I purposely tossed the question at her. "Make a guess," she chuckled.

Guess what?! What does she want me to guess? What a lunatic! Then, I grabbed May's arm and uttered coldly, "Ezekiel was the one who told me to come. I believe he has contacted you, so let us go."

When she heard that, she fiddled with the knife in her hands and snickered, "No wonder he gave me a call earlier, but unfortunately—"

That knife in her hand looked deadly sharp, so I assumed it was her usual killing weapon.

I kept quiet, but she continued coldly, "Unfortunately, I didn't answer."

I couldn't believe she didn't pick up his call! What was she up to?! Was she giving up on her life now that she had done what she shouldn't?!

Afterward, I stepped back, dragging May along behind me. However, LG noticed my fear and added, "Ezekiel… You're the only person I've heard calling him that. I wonder why he cares so much about you."

"Do people not call him by his name?"

"What a fool." She smiled after hearing my question.

I was rendered speechless instantly. Did she really think she was smart?!

"Why did you pull such a lowly act if you're smart?"

Suddenly, LG arched her brows and glanced at May before asking, "Because I kidnapped her?"

I remained silent, but she chuckled, "I'm only following orders. My original plan was to contact Alfred. Unfortunately, I changed my mind and thought it might be interesting to call you over."

She was targeting me! Why?! All I could think of was Shawn.

"Why? Because of jealousy?"

"Jealousy?"

As soon as LG heard the word 'jealousy,' she immediately started acting irrationally and pacing back and forth. All of a sudden, I found her antics quite amusing!

Following that, she questioned, "Why should I be jealous of you?"

Then, I retorted, "You should know better than me!"

"Tell me!" she snapped.

Suddenly, LG took two steps closer to me as if she had lost her mind and stabbed May in the shoulder with the knife. In a tone filled with dismay, she spat, "Tell me! Why should I be jealous of you?!"

She pulled out the knife with such force that I had to pull May back in shock. Nonetheless, May gritted her teeth and restrained herself from letting out a scream. She was bleeding profusely, and it was a terrifying sight, so I tore the hem of my skirt to use as a bandage.

Seeing how flustered and frightened we were, LG laughed out loud. "Why am I jealous of you? You better tell me right now!" She was still dwelling on that question.

"Ask yourself!" I countered.

Her expression twisted in an instant. As if recalling something, she mumbled, "I'll never be jealous of you! There's nothing I should be jealous of! Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"

The more LG denied it, the more suspicious she became, and I could tell she was really envious of me.

"Shawn?" I blurted in a soft voice.

A sudden realization dawned on her as she gaped at me in disbelief. She then glanced at the knife in her hand and questioned, "How is that possible?"

Through gritted teeth, May snapped, "What? Are you still in denial?"

LG turned crazy all of a sudden as she staggered back to the couch. I noticed there was a pistol and a sharp knife beside her.

Still, I was adamant that May and I could not escape from her. We had no choice but to wait for Ezekiel, who would rush over if he couldn't get in touch with LG over the phone. Nonetheless, I was skeptical that he would come to our aid. All I could do was hold out hope.

At that moment, LG fell silent as if lost in thought and stared blankly out the window at the moonlight. Then, I noticed May's blood had soaked through the bandage from earlier, so I tore a piece of my skirt off and carefully rebandaged her wound.

We were in a building under construction where only the framework was complete, so the space was well-ventilated. The eerie atmosphere, combined with the brisk air, sent shivers down our spines. Moreover, I couldn't help but feel slight discomfort as I watched LG's expression. Nevertheless, her vibe was unsettling, and I had no idea what she was thinking.

At that moment, I received a text from Ezekiel. 'Ms. Felix, please stall for time." He was aware that I had arrived at the location. However, it wasn't as if I didn't want to buy time; she was sitting silently on the couch. Moreover, I had no idea what was going through her mind, but she appeared to be lost in her own world.

Suddenly, she called out to me, "Renee."

"Yeah?"

Since he told me to buy time, it was imperative to treat her with gentleness and refrain from provoking her in case she began to cause us harm.

"How did you and Shawn meet?"

Hm! Now I'm sure she's jealous that I have Shawn. She envies my identity as Mrs. Xenos and despises me because I am his wife.

Since I was concerned about offending her and the possibility that she would cause us harm, I gave an honest response. "I met him when I was on vacation in Eldham. Back then, he was injured due to being hunted down by enemies, so I brought him to the homestay I stayed in. He wanted to repay my kindness, so he told me to call him Sunny."

After a moment of silence, LG responded, "He has no heart of gratitude."

"I can't speak to that, but that was the gist of our initial meeting. Back then, I had recently divorced and still hadn't completely moved on from my ex-spouse, yet he had always stood by my side and kept me safe."

"Who was the first to confess?"

Why did she suddenly ask that question?

"Do you think it was Shawn?"

Hearing that, LG looked depressed. "No."
