Chapter 487

Chloe tensed all over as her face drained of all colors.

T-The child's s-spirit? C-Could it be that the child's spirit hasn't reincarnated and is currently attached to the mother? If that little imbecile latches on to me, won't it try and go after my life? No... No! I'm most afraid of ghosts. I can't let that thing find me or latch onto me.

She staggered backward as that thought crossed her mind.

Bailey quirked a brow and glanced at the frightened woman. The ghost of a smile crept up her face as she queried, “What happened to you, Ms. West? Is there a ghost lurking around me or something?”

She paused right then and smacked her forehead. “Oh, right! There is a ghost hanging around me. Every day, she makes a fuss about wanting to seek revenge on the person who did this to her. But... Ms. West, you haven't done anything wrong, so why are you afraid?”

At once, Chloe's face contorted as she waved her hands. “O-Oh no, nature calls, so I'm going to the restroom. Ms. Bailey, why don't you go ahead and look for Mr. Luther in his office? We'll chat later.”

Bailey scoffed inwardly upon hearing the woman's hasty excuse.
