Chapter 1294 Danger
Chapter 1294 Danger
When Holley heard the private detective's words, she couldn't help but nervously look around to find
out were Bernard was. Although the private detective was on standby to protect her, she still felt
immensely insecure as the enemy was hidden in the dark.
She never thought that Rachel would one day want to kill her. Now, either Rachel or Holley would end
up dead.
Since Rachel was so heartless, Holley had no choice but to strike first.
When Holley knew Rachel's ill intentions, she also arranged a killer to make a little accident for Rachel.
Holley believed that the good news of Rachel being robbed and killed by the gangsters would soon
come tomorrow as well.
Meanwhile, Bernard entered the club and pretended to see Holley by accident, so he acted a little
surprised when he saw her. If Holley hadn't known that he and Rachel secretly connived, she would
have thought that it was just an ordinary encounter.
Nervousness coursed through Holley. She couldn't feel completely relieved until she tucked her hair to
the side and ensured that her private bodyguard was just a few meters away.
"Miss Ye, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here," Bernard greeted. He looked
expressionless when he said those words. However, he continued his acting and went back to his
usual grim face after he feigned surprise.
"Bernard? It's really a coincidence. Are you here for a drink too?"
Holley spoke as if she was shocked as well, as if they had met unexpectedly. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"The wine here is good. I like to come here," Bernard said. He then pointed to the wine cabinet behind
the bar counter.
"It's really good. Would you like a drink?" To be honest, Holley was really curious about how Bernard
planned to kill her tonight. After all, it was a Friday night and the club was crowded. She thought that
Bernard wouldn't be that foolish to do such an illegal thing in public.
And so, how would he kill her in secret?
Confusion filled Holley's mind as she sat idly on the chair.
Suddenly, Bernard tapped her slightly on the arm to remind her that the bartender had brought them
two drinks.
However, it wasn't until the bartender put the wine on the table and the glass made a faint sound that
Holley seemed to wake up from her daydream.
Oh! Wine! If Bernard had added something to the wine to poison her, everything Holley was confused
about before would be clear. At that moment, Holley briefly recalled the psychedelic drugs she had
added to Black's wine last time. If the drug Bernard had added today wasn't of the same kind but a
different one...
"Sorry. I'm a little tired today, I lost my mind again," Holley said and tried to calm down.
"It's okay, I understand. Sometimes it's easy to get shocked when you're tired. You should rest more."
It seemed that Bernard had become a bit more abnormal now. Usually if he said something, his words
never exceeded two sentences. But tonight he even showed concern for Holley politely, and it was
quite strange.
Bernard's weird manners made Holley more alert. She lifted and touched the wine glasses, but never
took a sip.
When Bernard saw that Holley didn't drink even a little, he grew more anxious. He originally planned to
find a chance to add the chemicals into Holley's glass.
However, Holley kept looking directly into his eyes, which showed her desire to talk to him. Moreover,
Holley never drank from the wine glass in her hand.
'Maybe she noticed my intention?' Bernard thought. Impossible. To avoid Rachel being involved, he
didn't even tell her about this poisoning plan, let alone others. No one knew his plan.
At the same time, Holley planned to excuse herself to use the washroom, then leave from the
backdoor. As a frequent customer of the club, Holley knew the owner well and clearly knew the club's
layout. In addition, she wanted her bodyguard to stay and face in Bernard's direction. She couldn't take
risks anymore.
"Sorry, I need to use the washroom first," Holley said. She tried her best to speak to him naturally.
"Never mind," Bernard said. He thought that this was now a good chance to act on his plan. Bernard
felt a little at ease, but he still maintained an expressionless face.
Everything had gone smoothly according to Bernard's wishes. However, he inexplicably had a bad
feeling when Holley stepped out of his sight.
Meanwhile, Holley reached the backdoor and went out. She drove away. But before she left, she sent
her bodyguard a message which indicated that he could take action. However, Holley wasn't really
interested in Bernard's life. She just wanted to teach him a lesson.
After Bernard looked around and ensured that no one was looking at him, he took out a small coin-
sized bag from his pocket and quickly moved Holley's glass to his side.
Just as Bernard was about to pour the poisonous powder into Holley's glass, he felt a pat on his
shoulder. He tried to turn around and see who did that, but his hands were immediately twisted by that
person.
"I guess what you wanted to add to the wine isn't good, right? Would you mind if I call the police to
check it?"
The bodyguard leaned closer to him and whispered that to his ear.
Knowing that this person wouldn't be easy to deal with, Bernard thought about how to escape.
As soon as the bodyguard finished his words, Bernard leaned forward and poured the wine on the
table. The dripping sound made some people look at them, which distracted the bodyguard for a
moment. Bernard took this opportunity and quickly got out of the bodyguard's grip. He then hit the other
man's chest, and the bodyguard stumbled several steps backward due to the pain. When Bernard saw
that the bodyguard was too busy minding his chest pain, he rushed out the door.
However, Bernard heard the sound of the bodyguard chasing him, so he had no choice but to run fast
towards his own car parked at the entrance. As soon as he reached his car and got inside, he drove
away.
Bernard had previously checked the area's terrain so that he could escape faster. Thus, he got to
choose the most concealed road, and left the bodyguard behind.
Now, there was only one thing Bernard thought about—his plan had been exposed! He realized that
Holley never went to the washroom, she had escaped.
However, Bernard didn't have the time to figure out how his plan got found out.
Anxious thoughts filled Bernard's mind. 'Since Holley knew about my plan, she must have planned to
hurt Rachel. Oh my God, Rachel is in danger!' he thought.
With that in mind, Bernard stopped his thoughts and quickly increased the car's speed to find Rachel.
They previously agreed to meet at Rachel's door after he had finished executing the plan.
