Chapter 154
The car that was following them really was sent by Juniper. She was in Genecity and already received
the text from the assassin.
“Hesper went to Salt City at a time like this? Even the heavens are on my side.”
Juniper put her phone away and admired herself in the mirror.
When she imagined how shocked the head of the station and her colleagues would look, she couldn’t
help but feel proud. All the work that she had to let go of would naturally return to her. There was no
way she could get happier.
“Salt City is in chaos, so even if Hesper dies here, no one would find out the truth…”
Once Hesper died and disappeared from Rickard’s world just like how she did in the past, Juniper
would
have all the time in the world to win him back.
The assassin that she hired from the dark web was scary because he was able to track Hesper down
so quickly. Juniper was a little regretful-
If she posted this there previously, even Rickard wouldn’t be able to find any traces.
It wasn’t too late!
“As long as she disappears… as soon as she disappears!”
Lightning that struck outside distorted Juniper’s face. She had lost her mind and didn’t realize that she
wasn’t able to take Hesper’s place in the three years when she disappeared and become Mrs. Duval.
Rickard had clearly rejected her and all of this was just in her head. She was just indulging in her own.
thoughts.
When the sun almost set, Hesper and her crew finally reached the outer district.
After getting into the town area, the car behind her disappeared, but Hesper would never let her guard
down just because of that. That wasn’t a coincidence, and disappearing was just to give them a fake
sense of safety so they would let their guards down.
The town was even more backward than Hesper imagined. A lot of the roads were still dirt roads and
her phone’s signal wasn’t stable at first and completely stopped working after that.
Isaac followed her closely, so Hesper wasn’t too worried. He had been by her side for years, so she
knew how tough he was. If anything happened, he would be able to handle it.
“The road in front is blocked. The old town’s renovation wasn’t done yet and the construction site has
fallen over.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The rain continued falling. Hesper started feeling uneasy, so she picked up the umbrella. “I’ll go walk
around to take a look.”
“Ma’am…” Isaac said, but Hesper shook her head.
“If that person wants to attack me, he would find a chance no matter if I’m sitting in the car or outside.”
The fear of the unknown was scarier than when something really happened. Hesper got out of the car
and looked at the abandoned construction site which was almost washed clean by the rain. She
realized that they probably wouldn’t get to leave.
“There, the scaffolding in front is going to collapse!” Someone shouted out loud and everyone
frantically ran. Hesper walked backward when a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her. Hesper fell
forward and the scaffolding fell right on top of her head.
“Ma’am!”
