Female Novel
Chapter 552
Minerva closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Although she tried her bestto calm down, her face was still pale.
After a while, she opened her eyes again and said coldly, "Call the police."
When they looked into the box, there was nothing else but a dead rabbit inside.
Moreover, it seemed like the rabbit had been brutally killed. Its head was dripping with blood. As forthe rest...
Minerva could not bear to think of it any longer. In any case, the state of its death was extremelyhorrifying. This bloody scene was something that both she and Vera could not tolerate.
This was especially true for Vera. Since she was afraid, her legs were so weak that she sat on theground weakly.
After Minerva called the police, she almost cried out loud.
"I, I can't stand up," Vera said.
Minerva was speechless.
She pursed her pale lips and stepped forward to help Vera up. Then, she took the opportunity toclose up the parcel box. After that, she helped Vera to the couch.
"I, I, I...", Vera looked up at Minerva and stuttered, "I was almost scared to death... Minerva."
Minerva had already taken out her phone and called the management in a calm manner.
"Is this the management? Well, I'm a resident of the unit 18xx. When I entered the compound, Ireceived a parcel. It seems that there was an issue with the delivery. I hope you can send someonenovelbin
to deal with it. Well... It's a dead rabbit. Thank you, please hurry up." After hanging up the phone,Vera looked at her with adoration.
But soon, she came to her senses and asked, "Didn't you say to call the police? Why didn't you callthe police instead?"
Although she had calmed down and wanted to call the police, the rabbit's death was so brutal that itcould be seen that someone had done it on purpose. Furthermore, it was definitely not acoincidence.
However, if she called the police because of a rabbit, there might not be enough evidence.
Therefore, she finally chose to let the management handle it.
Minerva thought for a moment and did not answer Vera's question directly. Instead, she asked,"Didn't you say that you had bought groceries online? What did you buy?"
Vera's expression suddenly became miserable. "You are not doubting me, are you? I don't have thehabit of eating rabbit meat, and I won't let the seller send me a rabbit which had died such a tragicdeath."
Minerva replied, "I'm not talking about you."
"I bought a special beef steak, nothing else. Do you mean that the seller sent me a dead rabbit as aprank?"
She had already recovered from the shock, thus she started speaking at a quick pace. Nonetheless,the two of them sat there with pale faces as if they had been painted with white powder.
"Do you have any grudges against the seller?"
Vera shook her head.
"Does the seller have a grudge against you then?"
Vera shook her head hard and said, "Absolutely not. It's the first time we've interacted with eachother. Besides, the seller is a very well-known butcher."
Minerva couldn't help but ask, "Do you not understand what I'm trying to say? Since both of youdon't have a grudge against each other, why do you suspect that the seller would send you a deadrabbit on purpose?"
At first, Vera was still confused, but gradually, she widened her eyes. "Do you mean that someonehad deliberately stuffed the rabbit in the parcel to frighten us, and this person has a grudge againstus?"
"Yes, it seems that you are not too stupid."
"Minerva!"
"What's the matter?"
"You are still in the mood to joke. Don't you know that I almost peed my pants? D*mn it, it's fine if it'sa dead rabbit, but even its eyes were..."
"Stop." Minerva interrupted her. After Vera's description, she began to recall the appearance of thedead rabbit. It was too cruel.
As she thought about it, she felt a little disgusted and could only sit there motionless while pursingher lips.
The people from the management quickly came up. Vera couldn't move, thus it was Minerva whoopened the door.
When the management personnel checked the parcel, the several men were scared by this bloodyscene and their faces turned pale as well. Then, they all looked at the owner, Minerva.
"Miss Minerva, is this the parcel you had just received?"
"I'm sure it's no ordinary parcel." Minerva shook her head while her gaze was fixed on the top of thebox. "Someone must have used the name of the express delivery courier to pass it to themanagement."
The person in charge nodded and said, "Alright, Miss Minerva, we understand what you mean. Wewill take care of this immediately. As for your matters, we will look into it and give you anexplanation soon."
Minerva's expression was indifferent as she said, "Thank you for your hard work."
They quickly packed up the box and moved them away. After Minerva closed the door, she leanedagainst the wall, panting.
Vera was still sitting there, staring at her.
Minerva was silent for a moment before stepping forward. "You don't look well. Let's go up and restfirst. Let's not cook dinner. Let's go out later to eat or order takeout."
However, Vera said faintly, "What if the takeout is poisoned as well?"
Minerva went speechless.
Vera blinked her eyes and said, "I think we are being watched."
Minerva didn't reply. Dragging her tired legs, she sat down on the sofa and poured herself a glass ofcold water to calm her emotions.
"Who have we offended recently? Who would be so wicked as to do such a thing? Why have therebeen so many issues recently..." Vera complained to her. As she spoke, she suddenly paused andthought of something. Her eyes widened as she looked at Minerva.
The look in her eyes made people's hair stand on end.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that."
After what had just happened, Minerva's defenses had weakened.
"Could it be Janice Lowell? She wanted to hurt you back then!"
Janice Lowell?
Minerva thought of the person who came to her office with her mother to apologize back then.Minerva's pale lips moved but she did not reply.
"Have you ever thought that although she said that she won't hurt you, she might have changed hermind? Otherwise, we haven't offended anyone ever since we returned to Hidalgo, so how couldanyone else do such an extreme thing? Moreover, it's right at this time."
Minerva interrupted her and said, "Janice is not the only one we've offended. There are alsoothers."
Noticing that Vera was staring at her, Minerva said lightly, "Have you forgotten what happened in thecompany back then?"
"That's right. Could it be Yvonne? D*mn, did that b*tch decide to stab us in the face just becauseshe was humiliated?"
Minerva pursed her lips and thought for a while, but she couldn't think of anything. Her mind wasstill in a mess.
She could feel Janice's sincerity at that time, but who could be sure that she would not change hermind? After all, she also said that she would compete fairly with her for Maddox.
Moreover, what she promised... was that she would not hurt her, but she didn't promise to notfrighten her.
Or perhaps, Yvonne's heart was filled with hatred and she asked someone to find Minerva'saddress, just so she could send the dead rabbit over?
Minerva's head began to ache. She reached out and massaged her temples.
Who on earth did this?
