"You..."
"Sheryl Lancaster, don’t be so naive. Your foolish sister has definitely sided with Jared Quinn." Felix Chandler stood beside her, watching the long convoy leave below, taking out a gun in his hand. "If you want to protect yourself, you have to be more ruthless than others."
Sheryl understood what Felix ant, but that was her only family, how could she bring herself to do it?
Luna Lancaster was also arranged in Harold Chapman’s territory, outwardly under the guise of protection.
"What is this place? This is clearly not where patients reside. Are you trying to imprison ?" Luna Lancaster yelled outside, locked inside.
"This is the safest place. Recently, Lieutenant Commander Chapman uncovered a woman collaborating with the Chandler heir and so underworld figures. Upon investigation, their target seems to be you. There are strict guards here, living here is the safest."
Hearing about a woman and the Chandlers, Sheryl shivered in fear. She knew Luna was involved with that Chandler man, perhaps it’s them.
"Alright, you all can leave now. I’ll stay here quietly, but please, don’t reveal my room number to anyone outside."
The soldier glanced at her without much emotion, but that gaze looked like it was observing a dood person. "Your room number is public information. Right now, people outside are quite concerned with your life here. As long as you don’t go out or interact with anyone, you won’t die."
"Alright." Luna nodded.
The first day passed. Everything she ate and used inside was the best, but the better the food, the more she felt she was on her way to the guillotine.
Even at night, she couldn’t sleep peacefully, always feeling there’s soone out to kill her.
"Ah ah ah."
Days went by, and Luna seed completely driven to madness. In the middle of the night, she always heard gunshots and screams. In the morning, there were soldier conversations:
"The underworld is getting bolder, even daring to storm here. Seems they’re determined to kill that woman at all costs."
"That woman provoked soone she shouldn’t have, probably she knows so big secret."
Inside the room, Luna painfully clutched her head, teetering on the brink of collapse. "Why ? Why do they have to kill ? We’re sisters, Sheryl. I did so much for you, yet you grow increasingly cold-hearted."
"Miss Lancaster, are you alright?" Chloe Sumrs stood at the door, eyeing her cautiously and avoiding entering.
"I heard those soldiers say that many died again yesterday. They all died protecting you. Doesn’t that make you uneasy, Miss Lancaster? I’m afraid people who died because of you will co find you one night."
"Ah, stop talking, stop saying this!" Luna was completely breaking down; continuing like this would drive her insane.
"Where’s Jared Quinn? Where is he, I want to see him! I need to et him now!"
"Master Quinn’s company is very busy right now. Earlier, you said lody Thorne killed soone, causing his company considerable loss, and now they’re recovering."
"I need to see him, I beg you, let see him! As long as he helps capture Sheryl Lancaster, I’ll tell everyone the truth, admit that the recording was my defamation of lody Thorne."
Chloe Sumrs raised an eyebrow indifferently; how could such a person have the confidence to confront lody Thorne?
