Chapter 410
Seconds later, she whipped out a white cloth, covering Natalie’s nose andmouth with it.
“Hmm…” Mustering up her strength, Natalie tried to shout. Her eyes widened in utter disbelief as she stared at Lia.
There was an unmissable sense of hesitation in Lia’s eyes. Even so, she never loosened her hands as her lips tightened into a thin line.
When Natalie finally closed her eyes and stopped struggling, only then did she loosen her hands.
Looking at Natalie, who had already slumped onto the floor, Lia’s chest heaved in anxiety. She stammered feebly, “S-She has passed out. I’ve accomplished the mission you assigned me.”
Her words were transmitted by the wireless communication device hidden in her earrings to the other end of the line.
Yara Nicholas is indeed a demon under the disguise of an angelic figure!Lia used to think that Yara would not put her in a tight spot if she obeyed her. Nevertheless, the malicious woman had been taking control and making use of her in carrying out heinous deeds.
“Lia, it’s not enough even after she has passed out.” Yara’s voice sounded from the other side of the wireless communication tool.
“What do you want me to do again?” Lia asked hesitantly.
“Do you see the warehouse behind you? The door is not closed properly. You can push it open,” Yara replied slowly.
Lia pushed the door hard as instructed by Yara. The moment it opened, there was a strong gust of chilly wind that was even more frigid than the one on a winter night.
Apparently, it was not an ordinary warehouse, but cold storage where fresh food was kept in the manor. Even though Lia was only standing at the entrance, she was already shuddering due to the utterly low temperature.
“I want you to drag her inside,” Yara uttered, laid-back as if she was savoring her afternoon tea.
To Yara, Lia was just a weapon to finish Natalie off. She would be like a useless item after accomplishing her mission.
“No problem. I promise you,” she reassured Lia.
In the meantime, she was in the study of the manor. After hanging up, she picked up her wineglass from the desk and approached Scarlett to watch the surveillance video together with her.
In the video, Lia was dragging Natalie, who had passed out moments ago, into the cold storage warehouse. After a while, she closed the door, dragging her feet away.
Flashing Scarlett a smile, Yara lifted her wineglass. “Ms. Hamilton, everything goes well as planned. I’ve done my part as promised. After this, it’s your turn to play your part well. Let’s have a toast and wish that our operation tonight will turn into a success.”
She thought of clinking glasses with Scarlett, but the latter gulped down the wine in her wineglass.
“Initially, I keep racking my brains why you’re the only one who could set Samuel up in bed. But now I seem to get it. You are not only a manipulative woman but also one without a sense of shame. I bet none of the women will be able to act as shamelessly as you!” Scarlett uttered softly, but her words were as venomous as snakes.
