Chapter 78
“When did you figure me out?” Aster asked, no longer putting on an act as she used both hands to push the needle toward Sheena’s neck forcefully.
Sheena knew she could not hold back with just one hand for long, so she acted swiftly. The car was moving steadily on the road in the suburbs, and she suddenly pulled the handbrake.
The tires screeched, and the car lost balance and flipped over. The car crashed through the guardrail and rolled into the grass on the roadside.
Sheena only had a minor scratch on her forehead because of the safety airbag, and she quickly got out of the car.
Surveying the badly damaged Santana, Sheena clicked her tongue in disappointment. She thought to herself how short–lived her time with this car had been.
Seeing that Aster had not come out yet, Sheena opened the door and pulled the fainted girl out.
Sheena performed CPR on her, and her consciousness slowly returned.
Surprised that Sheena had saved her, Aster asked, “Why did you save me? You should’ve killed me for hurting you.”
Sheena glanced at her coldly, not answering that question directly. Instead, she asked, “Who ordered you to do this?”
Aster instantly fell silent, turning her face away without saying a word.
Sheena smirked. “Let me guess. Was it Jennifer, or maybe Katie? Or perhaps… both of them?”
Sheena knew well what Jennifer was capable of, and she could not have arranged such a meticulously planned scheme or hired a highly skilled female assassin with such excellent hiding abilities. Moreover, considering how she suddenly became the Moore family’s heiress, Sheena was convinced those two were likely working together.
Aster, however, seemed indifferent. “I’ve clearly failed at my task. Go ahead and kill me.”
Sheena teased, “Kill you? That wouldn’t be much fun.”
Aster looked at her, confused.
The suburban night was dimly lit, with only a few streetlights. Yet, Sheena’s eyes seemed to shimmer like the stars, radiating a brilliant glow. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Did you put some kind of drug in that syringe? They wanted you to drug me and take me to some location, subjecting me to all sorts of tortures, right?”
Aster was surprised. She stared at Sheena in disbelief as she wondered how Sheena figured it all out.
The woman was a beauty with a brain!
Aster remained silent, her gaze fixed on Sheena.
Sheena flashed an innocent smile and added, “Since they instructed you to do so, then just go ahead and do it.”
“W–What?”
Five minutes later, Aster texted someone.
[Mission accomplished. Currently on the way to the abandoned cabin in the suburbs.]
Jennifer, who received the message, was thrilled.
Finally, that bitch had fallen into her hands, and she could finally pay back the humiliation she suffered!
Jennifer’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she immediately texted a certain number.
[The person will arrive soon. Bring ten strong men and give her a good beating before following the plan and leaving.]
The reply came swiftly, [All is good as long as we’re properly paid.]
Jennifer clenched her teeth and transferred another 75,000 dollars. Nonetheless, as long as Sheena was tortured, that much money was nothing! –
Hardly two minutes after setting down her phone, Jennifer received another message from
Aster.
[I think the drug is too strong. She’s not holding up well. Please come over quickly to take a look.]
Not holding up well?
That was unacceptable!
Jennifer wanted that bitch to endure humiliation while remaining conscious! She wanted her to suffer!
