Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 221

The landscape outside the car window kept changing, and I had no clue where he was taking me. Nor did I understand why he, of all people, had something-or someone to hide. "Stop the car!" I yelled at the driver upfront.

He paused, and I quickly retorted, "Or else you'll turn me into a corpse, right? Richard, just kill me!"

"I would never kill you. Never!" He stared at me, his eyes a crazy blend of fear and determination, and hugged me tightly.

"Then who wants to turn me into a corpse, to make those girls into corpses?" I challenged him, but he remained silent.

I knew then...

There wasn't a soul in this world who could force Richard's hand or silence him like this.

"I can't figure out why Tracey would take the fall for you. She loves Max, doesn't she?"

Richard's silence deepened.

"Did you use Max to threaten her? Is that why she took the blame?"

"Claire, stop guessing. Knowing more won't do you any good. Let's just go through with the procedure, and everything will be fine, okay?"
