What the hell is wrong with her?
She comes and goes as she pleases. Does she really think that she’s a rich heiress and I’m just a servant?
A grim look crossed Devin’s face.
However, Kira was delighted when she saw that.
This woman is finally gone! Now, all my worries have disappeared.
She returned to the Woods Residence happily.
However, barely half an hour after she reached home, someone suddenly called her.
“Ms. Woods, do you know what a foolish act you’ve done today?”
“What?”
Listening to the woman’s voice on the phone, Kira almost thought that she was mistaken.
Which crazy woman called me?
Furious, she demanded, “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter. More importantly, you should know that if you haven’t done that today, there’s still hope for you to become the lady of the Jadesons’ house in the future,” remarked the woman mockingly.
Instead of answering Kira’s question directly, she emphasized again how foolish Kira had been.
Kira’s expression changed.
She suddenly heard the words ‘lady of the house’.
That was what triggered her the most!
“Cut the crap! Who are you? If you accuse me like that again, I’ll call the police.”
“What’s the point, Ms. Woods? Don’t think that no one knows about your secret. In this world, every action of yours is being monitored by someone, just that you’re oblivious about it.”
Kira felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her at that moment.
Gripping her phone, she felt a chill run down her spine as she shuddered in fear. Her cheeks immediately paled.
Who is she? Is she a ghost?
Kira was completely flustered.
As if the woman in the call could sense it, she reassured Kira, “Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to you. After all, we share the same goal.”
“What goal?”
“To become the lady of the Jadesons’ house! Didn’t I mention it earlier?” mocked the woman contemptuously.
“Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. I’m just reminding you that you have done a foolish thing this afternoon. Do you know who Sabrina brought home?” she continued.
“Who?”
Kira finally found her voice.
The woman laughed. “The Hayes family’s top killer, who tagged along with Sebastian when he came to Jadeborough. They have never given up on finding him all this while.”
For a few seconds, Kira sat on the sofa in a daze.
She did not understand any of that.
Although she hated Sabrina and wanted to chase her out of this place, she was completely oblivious about what was going on with the Hayes and Jadeson family.
Before that, she did not even know, nor did she ever ask about the underlying conflicts in the Jadeson family.
Hence, she had no clue about what was going on at all.
He works for Sebastian?
Why is Magnus’ plaything suddenly Sebastian’s employee? If so, there will be dire consequences.
When Sebastian fought with Charles, many people died. It was an extremely tragic scene. After he was rescued, he suffered from multiple personality disorders and could not remember anything from the past. This was why Jonathan kept investigating it.
Now that the top killer has been found…
Kira finally realized that she had made a huge blunder.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing. I just want to tell you that Jonathan’s been looking for this man recently. Now that Sabrina has taken him away, don’t you think that he’ll be furious if he finds out?”
“You…”
“If you’re smart, you would’ve informed Jonathan right away and brought the man back. That way, you can prove yourself to the Jadesons and kill that woman. Am I right?”
When Kira heard the last sentence, she was extremely tempted. It was as if the woman was a siren, egging her forward and enticing her.
Yeah! If I want to remain in the Jadeson family, I need to do a good job.
If I want the patriarch of the Jadesons to see me in a new light, the only way is to make a significant contribution to the family.
“Actually, there are many ways for cousins to marry in this society. You can just pull some strings and prove that you’re not cousins, right?”
“Or you can give up on him and let your aunt force you to marry Magnus. That’s not a bad choice either! After all, he’s Alfred’s nephew.”
This woman is like the devil!
Although they were only connected by a phone call, it was like she could peer into the depths of Kira’s mind, tempting and provoking her.
When Kira heard that, she yelled, “No! I’d rather die than marry him!”
