Chapter 45
Scarlett was too exhausted to ponder much. After her bath, she returned to her room and drifted off to
sleep.
She slept soundly until the afternoon of the next day, nearly three o’clock, as if her narcolepsy was
worsening.
She was aware that the patient in the advanced stage of the illness would be in a critical state, so she
didn’t let it affect her emotionally.
She could hold on for as long as possible.
In the end, everyone will die, but it’s only a matter of time; there’s no need to be sad.
She went to the kitchen to whip up a simple dinner of rice porridge and vegetables, enough for her to
enjoy.
As she drank the porridge, she answered the video call from Susan.
Having already arrived in Malaysia, the two were playing by the sea.
The sky over there was a much deeper blue than A Town’s, and the sea water was so clear that you
could see all the way to
the bottom.
Susan was wearing Bohemia’s long skirt. She stepped on the beach and smiled.
Scarlett, upon seeing Susan’s glowing face, knew that she was doing well, and couldn’t help but feel
joy.
“Scarlett, the view here is stunning. I’ll definitely bring you here to see it next time!”
“Okay.”
Scarlett sweetly replied, then chatted for a while about Malaysia’s delicious food, before Susan was
summoned by Cosmo to take the boat.
After Scarlett reminded them to be cautious, she ended the video call.
She wanted to put the phone down and focus on eating her porridge, but then Mr. Yea sent her a
WhatsApp message. “Come to the Night Club’s Presidential Suite and see me.”
It was clear what the message was: that scoundrel wanted to sleep with her again!
Scarlett clenched her phone tightly and ground her teeth as she typed, “You actually have the audacity
to ask me to meet you?”
Mr. Yea nonchalantly responded with five words, “I want to fuck you.”
Scarlett’s face flushed red as she stared at the five words.
“You already committed a crime yesterday, yet you still have the audacity to send this kind of
message!”
With trembling hands, she sent it and then quickly took a screenshot of her message.
Although she didn’t get the surveillance camera, this kind of verbal harassment text could still be used
as evidence to sue
him.
She had already called the police to file a case, and if she took a screenshot of this text, it would serve
as further evidence. The other party disregarded her feelings and sent a picture without a second
thought.
Scarlett was incensed when she saw the picture.
He actually took a photo of her in the nude!
Furthermore, the approach he adopted was highly peculiar, as if it was she who had instigated it!
Just as Scarlett was on the brink of succumbing to her rage, the man sent another message.
“Come over here. Otherwise, I can’t promise where this photo will end up.”
Why was this man even more hateful than James, using her photo as a threat?
Scarlett clenched her teeth and captured screenshots of the message he had sent, intending to present
them to the police the following day.
The man, as if he knew what she was thinking, sent her a text.
“It doesn’t matter if you call the police, but don’t forget, it was you who initiated the request for us to go
to the hotel.
“I asked James, not you. It was you who pretended to be him to commit a crime!”
Scarlett, her face flushed with anger, hurriedly returned.
When she saw the following message, she was even more enraged.
“Who knows if I am James?”
He meant that he had left no evidence showing that he had impersonated James,
Furthermore, the surveillance camera only revealed that James had been in her room previously, and
there was no one else present. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The police would definitely think that she and James had not reached a consensus, so she called
them.
It was no surprise that the police said she had taken the initiative to invite him, and there was no way to
use it as direct
evidence.
He had anticipated that she would call the police, so he erased the footage from the surveillance
camera.
Scarlett typed with her trembling fingers, “Nevertheless, your messages can serve as proof.”
The man replied. “You invited James to the hotel to murder him. Are you sure you want to take such a
huge gamble to apprehend me?”
Scarlett, upon seeing the sentence, immediately became motionless.
He knew that she intended to kill James, and was aware that she had laced his drink.
He, as the only witness, would sue her for murder if she attempted to find the police to arrest him.
Scarlett thought she could find this person, yet she hadn’t anticipated that he would block all her
escape routes.
“I’ll give you a half hour before I move on.
