Female NovelChapter 145
Stephanie greeted Sabrina’s suspected aggressor on the call and started the car. “Where can I meet you?”
The man snorted, saying, “Get rid of the car tailing you first.”
Stephanie narrowed her eyes. “Okay.” “I didn’t think he’d spy on me. He’s probably just tricking me,” she thought. However, she still did as he asked, losing the car Vincent sent to follow her from her tail.
The bodyguard in the car tailing Stephanie called Vincent and apologized, “Mr. Fletcher, I’m sorry. We weren’t able to follow Mrs. Fletcher
They knew Stephanie wanted to get rid of them, but they didn’t dare mention that to Vincent, so they just said it was their fault.
Of course, Vincent understood. “It has nothing to do with you. She wanted to get rid of you, so how could you have caught up?”
The bodyguard asked. “Shall we track the location from Mrs. Fletcher’s phone?”
Vincent wondered. ‘If I already tried to track Stephanie’s phone before and failed, then how could they? Then, he answered, “No need, but always be on
standby.”
“Yes, sir!” the bodyguard answered.
Aher Vincent hung up, Zane called.
“Mr. Fletcher, Ms. Florence Hayes was picked up by a gray van with black tinted windows. We didn’t dare to get too close, but the car’s heading in the same direction as the people who kidnapped Ms. Christina Fletcher,” Zane informed.
‘Florence… kidnapped? That makes sense! So it’s not Megan, but Florence? Vincent analyzed internally before he worded coldly, “I’ll link to your real- time location and follow you there.”
“Are you coming here personally?” Zane asked.
“Florence’s repeatedly testing my patience. Before this, I just thought she’s jealous of Stephie and that was fine, but now she clearly wants Stephie’s life, so she deserves to die.” Vincent declared.
Zane knew
w well that Florence was a troublemaker with no limits. ‘How could twins be so different?‘ he wondered.
After driving around town for an hour, Stephanie got the fifth call from the kidnapper.
He asked her to park in a designated spot without surveillance cameras, take a burner phone from a trash can, and throw away her existing phone. Then, he wanted her to move her suitcase of cash to a black pickup truck and drive it along the state highway.
Stephanie sighed and thought, “This man’s really professional and cautious. He’s afraid that my phone and car would have location trackers, but at least, I know that I’m finally going toward the kidnapping site this time.”
Forty minutes later, she saw a gray van with black tinted windows. The man called her to follow it.
An hour later, both vehicles stopped in front of an abandoned hospital.
The hospital was very tattered. The windows were all broken with sharp fragments and whenever the cold wind entered, it sounded like a person’s cries.
When Stephanie exited the car, it was already dark, but she still saw a man and a woman getting out of the van at a glance.
The man was well–armed and didn’t show his face, while the woman gave Stephanie an odd sense that her appearance was both reasonable and
Chapter 145
unreasonable.
“It’s reasonable because Florence did have a reason to kill me. After all, she did that to me in my previous life, so it’s very likely that she’d do all this. However, it’s also unreasonable. I never knew Florence had such a loyal fan since he’d never appeared before in my previous life. Could it be that things have changed because I was reborn?‘ Stephanie wondered.
Florence was particularly excited when she saw Stephanie “Stephie, you’re here! i didn’t expect you to come alone!”
At that, Stephanie knew that Florence must’ve known about the kidnapping, so this was surely related to her. She glared at her, “I’ve brought the money
Let Christina and Megan gol
The man threw Stephanie a white handkerchief. “Cover your mouth and nose. After that, rl naturally let them go.” “I’m not hypnotizing her. I can’t get close to her now because she might be concealing a weapon,” he thought cautiously.
Stephanie looked at the handkerchief, which smelled of ether.
“Hurry up! Otherwise, I’ll have them killed right now!” the man threatened.
Stephanie muttered softly, “This is ether. I’ll lose consciousness quickly after I cover my nose and mouth with it. How can I be sure you’ll let them go?”
“Do you think you still have any bargaining power now?” the man scoffed,
Stephanie was unsure if his accomplices were there, so she had to comply. Before covering her face with the handkerchief, she asked Florence, “So you’re the mastermind behind this? You tried so hard, involving and hurting so many innocent people just to kill me?”
Florence didn’t deny it. She just smiled. “The lives of Christina and Megan are in your hands. It’s up to you now.”
Stephanie pursed her lip and complied.
Soon, her hand dropped, and she fell backward on the van bonnet. Then, she fell to the ground.
The man and Florence watched and waited until Stephanie was motionless before walking over.
Florence stepped forward and kicked Stephanie’s arm, “Bitch, you deserve this! Your heart will be transplanted into my body tonight.”
To prevent Stephanie from escaping, the man tied her up with a rope and carried her into a dark storeroom. Then, he brought Florence to a room far away and pushed the door open.
While entering, Florence saw Megan tracing Christina’s face with a dagger.
Christina was cowering in the corner with her hands and feet bound. Her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and her eyes were swollen red.
Hearing the door open, Megan looked over and stood up. “She’s here?”
Florence nodded excitedly. “Megan, that bitch Stephanie’s passed out. When are you going to do my heart transplant?”
Megan walked over and thrust the dagger into her hand. “You kill her, then I’ll take you for your transplant!”
Florence clutched the dagger, her heart pounding
She had never killed someone before, but at the thought of how if she killed Christina, she could have a healthy heart, most importantly Stephanie’s heart, she became bold. “Okay, I’ll kill her right now!”
Christina looked at Florence, who was inching closer to her in horror, shaking her head and letting out muffled screams
Chapter 145
Right then, the door was kicked open.
The man reacted instantly and kicked on the emergency flashlight. The light:
showed their silhouettes on the wall as he fought someone.
Megan didn’t expect Stephanie to wake up so soon. She almost gave herself away. She rushed to Florence, grabbed the dagger, and whispered to her, “Flore, go kill Christina. I’ll fight Stephanie. We can’t let her escape. alive!”
Florence thought it was nice of Megan to take on the most difficult task herself. She nodded solemnly and rushed toward Christina. When she saw the rock on the ground, she grabbed it and slammed it at Christina’s head once, then twice…
Simultaneously, Megan held the knife with both hands and stabbed hard into her belly. She looked pained as she fell to the ground and curled up. Watching Chandler being utterly defeated by Stephanie, she pressed her lips together. ‘This idiot can’t even beat Stephanie. What a loser!” she thought.
Stephanie kicked Chandler in the chest, causing a loud bang as he slammed against the door. Then, she looked back and saw Megan in pain while Florence was killing Christina, She rushed over and grabbed Florence’s hair, tossing her away with all her might.
Stephanie bent down to check on Christina. In the dim light, she saw her face bloodied. “I’m sorry, Christie. I’ll take you to the hospital” She glanced at Megan and asked, “How are you?”
Megan endured
d the pain. “I–I’m fine.”
Florence gritted her teeth in pain and was stunned when she heard Megan’s words. She wondered, ‘What does Megan mean? Is she trying to turn against
me?‘
Just as she was about to speak, a cold tingling feeling came from her back. She looked down at the penetrating knife and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she mumbled, “You…”
Chandler cursed, “if it weren’t for your heart transplantation, I wouldn’t have done all these illegal things! I was such a fucking blockhead having fallen for you. I hate you so much!”
Stephanie narrowed her eyes and watched the scene thoughtfully. She did not miss Florence’s slow look toward Megan in shock.
At the same time, Vincent rushed in with a group of people.
Vincent kicked Chandler away, and he hit the wall before falling to the ground with a thud. Vincent’s bodyguard then stepped forward to hold Chandler
down.
Vincent bolted to Stephanie and asked, “How are you? Are you hurt?”
Stephanie shook her head. “I’m not, but Christie’s seriously injured and needs surgery immediately.”
Vincent carried Christie and ran out.
Stephanie glanced at Zane. “Send Megan to the hospital”
Zane speculated internally, ‘Wasn’t Megan suspected of being a part of this? What’s going on now? Was it just a wrong call? Without thinking further, he hurriedly picked up Megan and sprinted out.
Christina and Megan were sent to the operating room 40 minutes later. If it hadn’t been for Vincent, who informed the police in advance that the road to the hospital needed to be cordoned off, they would’ve taken an hour and a half to arrive.
Christina’s operation was performed by Stephanic/herself and lasted a full six hours due to severe intracranial bleeding and shattering of the skull.
After Stephanie came out, the Fletcher family surrounded her. novelbin
