The thug chose to listen to Serenity and gave Carrie a call.
Serenity told the bodyguards to prop him up for the call. The thug would be panting for air while prostrating and talking at the same time.
Carrie was urged by her mother to call the thugs when the call came in. She happily told her mother, “They’re calling, Mom! They’re calling! I bet they finished the job.”
She eagerly took the call.
“Ms. Jones, we trashed the woman’s car and beat her up. She’s knocked out cold but still breathing. She’s not dead. Hurry up and make the final payment. We want to leave Wiltspoon now.”
“It’s good that you didn’t kill her. Snap a photo. I need to be sure that you finished the task before I can pay you.”
“We really beat her up real bad. We left the scene immediately since she was bleeding. How could we possibly have stayed for a photo? Hurry up and pay up. We need to run away.”
“Are you sure you hit the right woman?” Carrie was not scared at all when she heard Serenity was mangled, bleeding, and unconscious. In fact, she felt the thrill. She finally got her revenge.
Serenity should have stayed out of her business. The nerve of Serenity to come in her way! Carrie’s father even had to apologize to Mr. York.
“Yes, of course. She has a bookshop at the entrance of Wiltspoon School and drives a national car. We’ve followed her since she left the bookshop. There’s no way we got the wrong person.”
“That’s her, all right. Okay, I’ll wire the money to you. Take the money and leave Wiltspoon right away. Delete my number, and don’t breathe a word to anyone. Otherwise, I can’t help you.
“But what if you’re scamming me since you didn’t take a picture? I’ll pay half of the money and the remainder after I’m sure the woman’s beaten up tomorrow.”
“Can you give the money straight away? We’ve committed a crime, but you’re holding half the payment now.”
The thug would have given Carrie a piece of his mind if Serenity did not stare at him to stop him from saying more than he should. The thug wanted to crawl through the radio wave and strangle Carrie.
