Chapter 234: Interrogation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Willow Stone monitored Felicity’s every movement carefully. She wanted to catch the latter red-handed, flirting with Finn Taylor.

But the more she observed them, the more she couldn’t help but feel that Felicity was more like a slave than a mistress.?‘It seems like this man is different from what the rumors make him out to be. He has some ability after all.’?

After settling Finn Taylor and Willow Stone down in the hotel, Felicity left.

The duo was left in the hotel room alone.

While showing off her long and slender legs, Willow Stone held a wine glass in her hand.

“You’re very different from what Yvette described.”

“Did she say I was a meek and quiet girl?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you think all meek and quiet girls are fools who always submit to others?”

“At least you aren’t like that.”

“People change. I just want you to get to know a different side of me.”

“There’s no need for that. You’re just my wife’s best friend.”

‘Why isn’t she resting? What’s she doing in my room? Besides, why is she drinking here? Yvette trusts me, and that’s why she allowed me to come here with Willow Stone. I can’t let her down.’

“Is she really that important?”

“Isn’t she your best friend? Is she not important to you?”

All of a sudden, Willow Stone put the wine glass down and stood up. “I’m leaving.”

She then strutted off.

Finn Taylor listened closely for the footsteps—Willow Stone’s room was right next to his. However, it was obvious from her footsteps that she had returned to her room.

Then, she went out again.

‘What’s she going to do? This woman is so mysterious, and she’s hiding too many secrets.’

Willow Stone headed out of the hotel and went toward the suburbs of Chicago.

…

The suburbs of Chicago.

A man and woman were kneeling down on the ground. They were none other than Sean Kleine and Mia Henney.

The moment the couple got off the plane, they rushed home, contemplating how to take their revenge against Finn Taylor.

However, they were struck unconscious the moment they left the airport. When they came to, they were already kneeling here.

In Nigel Stone’s hands was a sharp dagger. “You’re really daring to sing on board a flight, disturbing others in the process. When our young lady asked you to shut up, you even tried to hit her!”

Sean Kleine eyed that glistening dagger, feeling fear rise up in his heart. “Bro, are you talking about that woman on the plane?”

Sean Kleine had now given up all thoughts of getting his revenge. He had to ensure his own safety first.

“How much do you want, Bro? I can give you as much as you want as long as you don’t kill me.” Sean Kleine only dared to bully the weak but feared those stronger than him. As expected, he immediately gave in to someone like Nigel Stone.

“What the heck can money do? What I want is your apology.”

“An apology to that b*tch? Who is she to deserve an apology from us?” But Mia Henney was different—she was terribly jealous of Willow Stone’s beauty. Moreover, she had shown herself to be extremely ignorant by entertaining herself through singing on the plane.

On the other hand, Willow Stone had been reading throughout the entire flight.

Although she knew that Willow Stone was probably more cultured and intelligent than her, she hated the other and thought that she was simply faking it. Mia Henney wanted to scold her and make her understand that she was the most beautiful.

“B*tch? How dare you scold my young lady?” With that, Nigel Stone waved his dagger.

All Sean Kleine felt was coldness at his neck.

It was only then that he regained his senses.?‘The one Nigel Stone just killed was me! Wasn’t Mia Henney the one who scolded that young lady? W-why did he kill me?’

“Ah!!” Mia Henney—who had personally witnessed that sight—let out a blood-curdling scream just as Sean Kleine’s blood spurted onto her.

She felt fear from deep within her soul, and her eyes were filled with terror. But soon after that, she was killed too.

‘They humiliated my young lady, so they have to die. Since Mia Henney scolded my young lady, she can’t die an easy death. She has to experience the worst form of terror before dying.’?With that done, Nigel Stone tossed the dagger aside before leaving.

Willow Stone met Nigel Stone outside Chicago. “You killed them?”

The moment she spotted Nigel Stone, Willow Stone had already felt the murderous aura the former was emitting.

Such an aura was difficult for a layperson to detect, but it existed, and Willow Stone had felt it.

“They deserved death for insulting you.”

“What if he finds out about what you did?”

“He’s just a piece of trash. I tested him.”

“What?” It was obvious that Willow Stone knew nothing about the situation. “What was the result of that?”

“Neither of us won—he isn’t dead.”

“Dead?!” Willow Stone suddenly chuckled. “Can you kill him?”

That question hit the bullseye.

Indeed… From what Nigel Stone experienced that day, he knew he wouldn’t be able to kill the other.

He had said everything for nothing.

“But why did you choose him? He’s clearly a piece of trash.”

“You’re such a fool. All you care about is what others think of him. Don’t you know that people like him won’t show their true selves in front of others, much less care about their opinions?”

“I might be a fool. All I think about is you, but what about him? All he thinks about is Yvette Larson!”

“How dare you!”

“Forgive me, Miss!”

“Nigel Stone, you’d better know your place. You’re just a stray dog our family took in. If you really want to be our family head, we’ll have to see if you can solve our family’s troubles first.”

Nigel Stone swung his fist across the air.?‘Solve the family’s troubles? If I were that capable, we wouldn’t have needed to return from abroad. We’re here to find someone who can do that job.’

Willow Stone had never expected to find that person so quickly. It was none other than her best friend’s husband—Finn Taylor.

…

When Willow Stone returned to the hotel, Finn Taylor happened to chance upon the news that Sean Kleine and Mia Henney had been killed.

He had no idea why the couple had suddenly died.?‘They offended Willow Stone and me. Since I haven’t done anything, is Willow Stone the culprit? But that’s impossible! If she really is the culprit, that’s petrifying! That woman looks so weak and harmless, but I didn’t expect her to be such a vicious and heartless killer!’

When Willow Stone returned, he simply informed her, “Those two people on the plane are dead.”

“Huh? Dead?” Willow Stone expressed her shock.

Finn Taylor stared straight into her eyes to catch a lie.

Eventually, Finn Taylor brought up the question: “Were you the one who killed them?”

He didn’t even flinch when posing it.
