The Woman From Hell

When the man did not respond, I sneered and said, "I'm warning you, if you dare to touch me, you'll spend the rest of your life rotting in jail."

"There's no need to scare me. I know about all the horrible things you lot are capable of. Wretched businessmen like you steal from the poor like us. The least you can do is return the money to us." His logic made no sense at all.

I furrowed my brows, convinced that this man had lost his mind. He seemed to have no morals or humanity. My mind told me not to provoke a madman like him. Hence, I did not respond to him and glanced at my surroundings.

I had been wandering around aimlessly. I failed to realize that the crowd had lessened and that I had wandered into an isolated area.

I was no longer in Whaldorf City. Theo had not arranged for bodyguards to trail me, so if I wanted to escape this man, I had to come up with something myself.

"What are you looking at?" Amelia's brother asked with a faint smirk. "Trying to escape?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but Amelia committed suicide. As for why she did it, you should know the reason better than I do. You guys leeched off of her, and the pressure she was under was unbearable. She was like a walking corpse every day. You killed her."

The man's smile disappeared as his expression darkened suddenly. He said darkly, "I guess you don't want to live anymore."
