"Hehe, quite audacious of you to eavesdrop on our conversation!" The woman walked up to Kate, stood in front of her, and extended a delicate fair hand to lift the girl's chin, forcing her to raise her face and meet her gaze.
Their eyes locked, and Kate's mind instinctively went blank. She felt as if she were floating in the clouds, unable to see what lay ahead. All she could perceive was the beauty of those eyes-so mesmerizing.
"Young girl, tell me, what did you hear?" the woman asked.
"I heard everything. You plan to kill Cheyenne," Kate honestly replied.
The woman was satisfied with her response, and her gaze turned sharp and piercing. She gave a fierce glare to the man beside her.
"Did you hear that? She must not be spared!"
"No, you can't harm her!" Master Glenn, fearing that this woman might harm Kate, stepped forward, slapped away her hand, and tightly protected Kate in his embrace.
Gracie let out a cold laugh, leisurely adjusting the pleats on her dress. Her voice sounded seductive and gentle, but it carried a dangerous undertone.
"She'll be a nuisance!"
"No, I'll take care of her," Master Glenn insisted. He would not allow Gracie to harm Kate, not even if it meant using hypnosis to make her forget.
Just as tensions escalated between the two, Kate suddenly snapped out of her brief daze. Anger and disappointment filled her clear and watery eyes. Without hesitation, she delivered a resounding slap to the man.
Smack!
The sound was loud, even reaching the ears of the maids downstairs. Curiosity piqued, they pushed open the door and discreetly looked upstairs.
It was too dark.
They couldn't see what was happening clearly.
But one thing was certain-there were three people standing there!!!
Shortly after, the villa echoed with Kate's deeply disappointed crying. She struggled to suppress her emotions, but the more she tried, the more she wanted to cry.
"You lied to me!" In the dim night, a clear imprint of five fingers quickly appeared on Master Glenn's handsome face, and he hung his head in silence, offering no response.
His lips parted, and silently, he uttered three words-"I'm sorry!"
Kate bit her lip with great force, not even realizing when her lip broke and tasted the metallic flavor of blood. But that pain paled in comparison to the anguish in her heart.
She grabbed hold of Master Glenn's collar, looking at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Qiancheng, tell me. Is all of this fake?"
"You've never met Cheyenne, so why do you want to kill her?"
"In my heart, you have always been a good person. I don't want you to do these things. Can't you ignore the words of this wicked woman?"
Her words struck Master Glenn's soul like drops of rain. He remained silent, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Kate. This is my destiny, and I can only obey."
"What destiny?"
"I don't believe in destiny. Master Glenn, promise me you won't go, okay?"
Kate tugged at his sleeve, tears falling from her eyes like pearls, uncontrollably cascading down like a bursting flood.
"I'm sorry!"
He had to go!
Gracie crossed her arms, watching the two of them like children in a contradictory scene, rolling her eyes in exasperation. She didn't mind breaking his little lover's heart a little more. Opening her red lips, she uttered a chilling truth.
"Tsk tsk tsk... You're still so naive, aren't you? A good person? Perhaps only you see him that way," Gracie taunted. "Do you even know who he is? The renowned Master Glenn of the Weaver family, in reality, is one of the four aces of the Lucas family. Exciting, isn't it?"
