“Did that lady just poison him?”
At that moment, the bar sank into chaos, while the waiters worriedly shouted, “Hurry up! Call 911!” As the situation spiraled out of control, the place was soon filled with panicky screams and cries.
Meanwhile, Janet took advantage of the chaotic circumstance and blended in among the crowd with a smile on her face. Then, she proceeded to make her way out of Golden Luna. I wonder which imbecile hired these suckers to tail me! Man, I can’t believe they even tried to make me drunk. They have no idea what they’re doing!
In fact, Janet had already mixed the drug into the glass of wine beforehand. Nevertheless, she didn’t intend to kill her stalkers but instead only wanted to shake them off. Therefore, the drug that she used on Reiner was not lethal but merely some laxative. That should warn them to stay away from me!
In the quiet night, Janet aimlessly wandered on the street, fumbling pebbles with her feet out of boredom as gazing at the sky. “You’ve been following me the whole night. Aren’t you tired?” Since Janet left Golden Luna, she was aware that someone was tailing behind her. Although she initially didn’t read much into it, her suspicion was eventually aroused when her stalker wouldn’t give up.
Soon, a man in a white t-shirt emerged from the shadows, and his footsteps alerted Janet. Then, the lady turned around, grunting with a smirk. This guy sure looks like a gentleman, and I have to admit his good taste for picking a white t-shirt that suits him, but unfortunately, his shady behavior ruins it all. Things would have perhaps gotten off the right foot between us if he hadn’t followed me like a creep.
After that, Janet asked in a calm manner, “Why are you following me?”
Sheldon knitted his eyebrows in response because he was surprised to notice the petite lady’s indifferent attitude. “Are you the famous Doctor Sandra?”
Janet shrouded her shoulders with a calm look on her face. Instead of answering the question directly, she asked the man, “What if I am? And what if I’m not?
Happy to hear that, Sheldon excitedly made his offer. “Can you please save someone’s life? Just name a price!”
“ALS is incurable!” Janet reacted indifferently without giving Sheldon any hope.
The man’s smile slowly faded before it was replaced by a glacial look. “How did you know it’s ALS?” After all, no one else outside the Fuller Family knew that Old Master Fuller was diagnosed with ALS.
Janet paused upon hearing that. “I’ve been followed ever since I refused to treat an ALS patient the last time. So, how else do you think I know about this?” Then, she suddenly looked up at the sky and said, “Please stop following me! This is your final warning!” I’d fight all out to defend myself if these people wanted to kill me, but if they are here to ask for my help to treat someone with an incurable disease, I would rather turn them down because I don’t want anyone’s innocent blood on my hands.
In the illuminating moonlight, Sheldon’s gaze fell upon Janet while he questioned her with a nonchalant voice, “Did you kill Reiner?”
Janet curled her lips upward and answered, “Relax! I only drugged him with some laxative. So, he’ll live! Go back to where you came from. You’re not welcome in Sandfort City.”
Soon, Sheldon set his eyes on Janet and dashed toward her at lightning speed before he put a dagger to her throat in less than a second.
In the meantime, Janet curled her lips upward and smiled. Impressive! He’s got a move or two! The next moment, she struck Sheldon’s abdomen with her elbow and sent him staggering backward in pain. Then, she seized the opportunity and drew a blade from behind her waist, turning the tide as she now held Sheldon’s throat at knifepoint. While their confrontation had escalated to a heated stalemate, the lonely street made the situation seem even more intense.
Janet pursed her lips and asked, “Why won’t you leave me alone? You must be out of your mind to insist on tailing me.”
As Sheldon’s face darkened, Janet added with an indifferent tone, “The reason I chose to play your game is that I don’t want to create any unwanted trouble around Sandfort City. If this had happened in Markovia, you would have taken a permanent nap long ago!”
Upon hearing the lady’s words, Sheldon looked Janet straight in the eye without flinching even with the blade at his throat. Deep down, he wondered to himself. She is a lady, yet she never stops threatening to kill me. What’s wrong with her?
Not long after she finished her sentence, her phone rang. She then frowned and turned around to answer it.
