Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 666

"Sergio, as soon as the Ocean Heart is in our possession, we can get ready to leave. The plane is on standby, and all procedures are done and dusted." Yadriel's wily eyes were eclipsed by a shadow. He had already made preparations for this day. "Head over to Richards Manor in A City to find ways to get the treasure, and I will deal with tomorrow's election. Remember, this thing can't be delayed any longer. If it goes on, then what awaits us will be the threat of imprisonment."

Yadriel warned sincerely.

Sergio nodded and walked out, completely disheartened.

The strong dominated the weak. That was the law in this world. From then on, would he spend the rest of his life in a foreign land? No, he didn't want to, for he might never be able to see her again.

He lowered his head and trudged out of the Xanthe family's courtyard.

Liya was hiding in the guest room of Crystal Cove Garden. She covered her head with the quilt, with her whole body trembling.

What happened the previous night was too horrifying.

She had never thought that such a thing would happen.

The night before, Letty had requested them to start with Meroy and ask her about the treasure's whereabouts. She didn't want to go. Ever since the miscarriage, her body hadn't recovered yet. However, Letty was very aggressive.

Helplessly, Liya had no choice but to discuss a method with her.

Meroy was Vivian's personal caretaker. Usually, she wouldn't leave her easily. If they wanted to find out the treasure's whereabouts, then they would have to go to Vivian's bedroom.

However, both of them were not allowed to enter Vivian's bedroom.

Liya thought of climbing in through the window in the back garden. Nonetheless, due to Marissa's incident, she was worried that someone might suspect her. She was also worried that the windows in the back garden would be locked. So, they decided to enter at the darkest time before dawn.

It was likely that Richards Manor had been too chaotic over the past few days. The windows remained the same. Letty had been in Richards Manor for a few years and had long learnt of a path. They could travel from the kitchen in the Ink

Garden directly to Vivian's back garden.

At this moment, Richards Manor was completely silent. They entered Vivian's bedroom, and were safe and sound. Coincidentally, Meroy was helping Vivian change her clothes.

After the two of them went in, they quickly restrained Meroy and stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth.

They had thought that this old hag would tell them where the treasure would be hidden after being subjected to duress. However, she was stubborn. Not only did Meroy refuse to give away any information, she also scowled at them. She would rather die than surrender.

After a long time, Liya heard small voices in the lounge outside. It seemed that the person who was on night watch duty was about to wake up. They immediately panicked. At that time, the bloodthirsty Letty produced a knife and stabbed Meroy to force the word out of her.

Meroy's clothes were stained with blood. She would rather die than to submit.

Liya was worried about that it would go out of hand. So, she pulled Letty away.

However, the woman grabbed their clothes tightly, and footsteps were coming in from the lounge outside. Panicking, she also picked up a knife and

slashed her.

Meroy suddenly rushed over and clung to her leg. She refused to let go of her even if she died, and her mouth was mumbling.

Letty lost her patience and slit her neck twice again until she let out her last breath. Then, she pried open her hand and the two of them escaped. Liya couldn't fall asleep ever since she escaped from the crime scene, and she didn't dare to go anywhere. She just shivered in the quilt.

In a daze, she saw Reid standing in front of her, saying, "Liya, you have to stay in Richards Manor in the future and live a happy life. I will be looking after you in Heaven."

"No, no. Why did it turn out this way?" Liya was a bit distracted. Her entire body was trembling, and she curled up in the blankets in great fear.

For the entire day, she didn't dare to get up, much less go out. She lay there in a daze, like a withered tree. Sometimes, when she accidentally opened her eyes, she would see that rare treasure standing in front of her, shining brightly. Liya's expression was one of excitement, as if she had become the richest woman and envied by all the other women in the world. She was so excited that she would burst into hysterical laughter.

However, when she reached out to grasp it, the treasure vanished. In her hand, there was nothing but blood. She widened her eyes as though she saw Meroy's bloody eyes staring at her.

She was so scared that she quickly shook her hand and screamed in horror.

Liya was lying on the bed in a daze and trembling all over the whole day. She was either terrified, extremely excited, in tears, or laughing hysterically. Her mind was haunted with all kinds of horrible images and hallucinations, pushing her over the edge of sanity.

In the mourning hall, the white ribbons hung high, fluttering in the wind. All of the descendants of the Richards family were dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling in the mourning hall.

Two days after Vivian's death, people from all walks of life, relatives, and friends visited to mourn her death.

As there were too many people, Jenna made a notice that read, "People from all walks of life will pay their respect today, and friends and relatives tomorrow. In this way, the workload would be reduced a little."
