Chapter 1168: Baby, How Have You Been Lately?
"Boss, what should we do about the person?" Gustavo Yates asked.
"Do I really need to teach you how to deal with it? Didn’t I just say what needed to be said earlier?" Mason Nightshade threw out this line.
Gustavo Yates thought for a moment, then it clicked for him. He headed out. The younger members asked him how to handle this person. He glanced at Mrs. Campbell and then at her hands, giving a cold laugh, "Cut off her hands and throw her somewhere that won’t let her live comfortably."
The younger members thought along the way, a place that’s uncomfortable? What place could be uncomfortable? For someone who dared to assassinate the Young Madam, they couldn’t let it slide.
Just happened to come across a pigsty. A flash of inspiration hit the younger members, and they threw Mrs. Campbell into the pigsty, leaving her hysterical roars behind as they departed. They thought: it’s just that the upper management didn’t order her tongue to be cut out, otherwise, they would have done it by now. This "noblewoman" really has a venomous mouth.
Aurelia Shaw’s eyes moved and she woke up. Not seeing Mason Nightshade in the room, her head felt dizzy. Once she saw her surroundings clearly, she realized she was still at the Shaw Family’s residence. Just now, Mrs. Campbell tried to kill her.
"Buzz buzz!" The phone rang.
A string of garbled characters appeared on the screen.
Aurelia Shaw frowned slightly, a vein throbbed on her forehead, she had a bad feeling, a mocking low laugh echoed from the other end: "Little darling, how have you been lately?"
Why is it her again, Aurelia thought, wanting to hang up the phone when Alaric Wood’s voice came through again: "Is your head hurting badly? Hurting so much that you passed out?"
Aurelia Shaw’s fingers stiffened suddenly, her eyes grew dark. How did Alaric Wood know about this? It wasn’t Alaric Wood’s group who injected her with the toxin, so why would they know about it?
Could it be... they are all in on it together?
Aurelia couldn’t help but speculate.
The other party seemed to know what she was thinking and chuckled lowly, "Want to know how I know?"
Aurelia raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued.
But the other party just laughed and said, "I’m not going to tell you."
Aurelia: "..." This man with such a perverse sense of humor!
Alaric Wood laughed heartily, "My darling, do make sure you don’t get yourself killed before I have a chance to capture you. Otherwise, I’ll be very upset." The man said in a mock-wounded tone, saying something spine-chilling.
Aurelia thought to herself that this guy is indeed sick, a lunatic. Who the hell knew she’d pique this psycho’s interest after just a few days infiltrating his organization?! It’s such a hassle.
Someone pushed the door open and came in, the call immediately got cut off. He seemed to have timed it just right to call in, just to mock her a bit and see her not doing well.
Mason Nightshade came in, saw that Aurelia was already sitting up, and strode over, pulling her into his arms. He kissed her brow, "Does your head still hurt? Is there anywhere your body feels uncomfortable?"
Aurelia curved her lips into a smile. The horror and tension brought by Alaric Wood instantly dissipated. Being next to Mason Nightshade, he always made her feel a reassuring sense of safety, "I’m okay now. Mrs. Campbell? I guess she held a grudge because I dealt with Jovana Shaw before.
But back then, she valued Jovana Shaw herself, and it was Jovana Shaw who brought about her own demise, so why are they making me the target for revenge?" Aurelia complained, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged and innocent.
It’s truly said that good people get taken advantage of, if she’s not being good, and yet, these people still won’t let her go.
Thinking back to her previous life, she really was like a soft persimmon, anyone could squeeze, and everyone wanted to squeeze.
