Chapter 180
Linda felt utterly helpless.
She shot Lucas a desperate look. "Lucas, Chloe's going to kill me. She wants me dead."
"You deserve it!" Another voice rang out from nearby.
Linda looked up and saw Connor.
Why were they both here? When did they even get here?
Lucas showing up didn't surprise Linda. She'd texted him before coming, so she knew he'd come eventually. But why did he take so long?
Truth be told, Lucas was still at the hospital when he got the message. Connor, who hadn't heard from Chloe all night, had gone to the hospital early in the morning, thinking she'd be there to see Lucas. He just happened to catch Lucas leaving by himself and decided to follow him.
They arrived just as Linda was ducking into the elevator, so they heard every word of her confrontation loud and clear.
Connor finally pieced everything together. It turned out Chloe's first time wasn't with Lucas but was taken by some thug. Chloe had saved Linda from this thug multiple times, yet Linda had dragged her deeper into misery.
Chloe walked in, her steps slow and mechanical, stopping right in front of Linda.
Linda looked up at her, tears streaming down her face as she bowed repeatedly. "Chloe, I know I messed up. I was too scared to do anything. I was just so scared."
Chloe squatted down and gripped Linda's chin. "You could have called the cops, Linda."
Linda chose not to call the police after receiving that horrific video. It left Chloe in utter despair, with no hope of rescue.
"I was scared... I was really scared..." Linda cried and begged for mercy.From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Linda, you weren't scared. You wanted to destroy me. You're an accomplice, and you have to pay the price!"
Linda stared at Chloe in terror.
Chloe's eyes were bloodshot, her
face still strikingly beautiful. However, her beauty now had a hint of madness, an eerie calmness that made it impossible to predict her next move.

Suddenly, Chloe pulled out a silver whistle and blew it. The four wolves that had vanished reappeared from the corners, slowly advancing toward Linda, baring their fangs.
When Lucas arrived, he only saw shadows of the wolves and thought he was hallucinating. Right now, watching the four wolves surrounding them, he was stunned.
Connor, however, remained calm. He
stood by Chloe's side, showing no fear, his gaze fixed on her face. This was not the playful, charming girl he knew. It was as if a vengeful spirit from hell had taken over her. Her expression was wooden and cold, her movements stiff. She seemed completely transformed.
Connor understood. She was sick. She was mentally ill.
The four wolves crept closer, crouching, wrinkling their noses, and baring their teeth with terrifying growls. It seemed like they could pounce at any second and tear them all apart!
