Chapter 281 Nelson Was Playing Dumb
"Then I went into the toilet cubicle. After I've done my business, I found I was locked inside..."
Amy continued.
"Miss Qi, we checked the toilet door after we sent you to the hospital. It seemed that there was nothing
wrong with the door, " said Nelson acting concerned. Little did Amy know that he was sneering inside.
"That's impossible. I had been pushing hard, but the door just wouldn't open, " shouted Amy in so much
frustration causing her wounds to tear open.
Her face turned pale in a flash, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Are you alright, Miss Qi? Please lie still. Any sudden movement might worsen your injuries, " Nelson
pretended to be polite.
He should convince Amy that the Nalan clan had initiated an investigation regarding her fall, and the
clan was taking care of her.
"Okay, "
Said Amy, who clenched her teeth due to the pain and dared not move.
"If you couldn't open the door, then why didn't you call for help? And how did you fall from the fifth floor
at 1 AM? The banquet had finished at around 11 PM."
"I wanted to call for help, but the network signal there was weak. Then, I thought someone would come
to my rescue the next day, so I waited it out. But suddenly the whole restroom was suddenly infested
with bugs and rats. I didn't even know where they came from!"
The thought of the horrible scene made Amy's flesh crawl.
She was afraid of insects, ever since she was a child, let alone a swarm of them. What's worse, the
bugs and mice even got on her. That nasty feeling was difficult to even describe.
Amy was brought up in a wealthy and scholarly family. It was impossible for her, a refined lady, to touch
those bugs.
That's why she was scared to death that night.
Thinking about it, her whole body felt itchy.
"Full of bugs? Could it be that you were hallucinating? Our servants clean the the building twice a day.
There's no way our restrooms would have had bugs in them, " said Nelson, pretending to act surprised.
He made it seem that the Nalan clan was determined to find out the truth.
Even though he knew Linda had done all these to Amy, he wouldn't admit it.
It wasn't the right time yet.
"How could I have hallucinations? It's true! I did see a bunch of insects and rats in the restroom. Some
were even on me! There were so many of them. They seemed to have come from the ceiling, " Amy
cringed. The more Nelson asked, the more she was reminded of the disgusting memory. She could
clearly remember her body itching, the rats squeaking, and centipedes slithering.
"It doesn't make sense. We've inspected the restroom. It's clean."
Amy suddenly recalled that the electricity and water supply were cut off the night she was locked in.
"Oh, when I was stuck inside, the lights went out, and there wasn't any water either..."
"We must apologize for that. That building is only for banquets, so servants usually cut off the electricity
and water supply when they leave. We are sorry. We didn't know you were trapped in there, " Nelson
pretended to apologize sincerely.
Amy tried to make her last case, "I know who did it all! It's Bonny Lu! We have had some bad history.
She must have wanted to take her revenge on me!"
"Oh, I see. But if it's just between the two of you, then... I suggest that you two should settle the matter
by yourselves... But as far as I know, the Mu clan left early on the night of the party, "
Nelson smirked.
Was she expecting the Nalan clan to help Amy get her revenge? What a joke!
"Fine!" Amy was rendered speechless, but she wasn't willing to let the culprit go.
But who on earth did it? Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Amy was sure that she was not delusional. She knew what exactly happened that night. Everything she
felt was real.
There was tension in the hospital ward. Nelson was trying to hold back his anger.
He knew everything Amy had done to Linda. He wished he could make Amy feel how she made Linda
feel, a thousand times worse.
"Miss Qi, I have to go now. I'll contact your family. Please have a rest while you wait for them, " Nelson
left after speaking.
Amy began to rethink the whole situation.
Was it all a delusion?
It didn't make any sense!
She didn't believe a word Nelson said.
She stayed upset for a while.
Since she couldn't sleep last night due to the pain all over her body, she dozed off.
The dull pain all over her body tormented her.
About an hour later, her cellphone rang.
Thankfully, she could still move one of her arms.
But she still struggled to reach the phone.
Nelson was kind enough to plug the phone in and switch it on. Otherwise, she would have missed the
phone call.
It was an unknown number. Amy could not tell who was calling.
It could be Adam.
Amy refused to answer the call. She had no idea how to face him.
She had been desperate to kill Linda, so she immediately accepted Adam's terms, but now she
regretted it.
After all, Linda's death was not worth half of the Qi clan's wealth.
Back then, Amy was consumed by her hatred towards Linda and acted rashly, but now she had come
to her senses.
The ringing stopped after a while. But a text message came, it read, "I'll give you 5 minutes to call me.
Otherwise, you'll pay for it."
