The man subconsciously glanced at Billy, then pressed the answer button.
In less than two minutes, the man fell to the ground with a thud, his face full of fear and turning pale. He had no idea how he got targeted by the people from SHADOW. And he also realized at the same time that he was doomed this time. With the things he has done before, even if he could keep his head on his neck, he probably wouldn't be able to get out in this lifetime.
"In your next life, be a good person!" Billy turned around and walked towards the car after leaving his words.
Casey picked up the unconscious woman and followed closely behind.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Back Hill Cemetery. Casey threw Harriet in front of the tombstone of Billy's foster father and slapped her twice across the face hard.
"What place is this?" Harriet asked after being waking up in that way.
Later, upon seeing the tombstone in front of her, she shouted loudly, "You two idiots, why did you bring me to the cemetery?!"
"Do you still remember the name on the tombstone?" Billy's voice sounded behind her.
Harriet was slightly startled, then fixed her gaze on the tombstone. And the next second, she shuddered with fear, her face white as sheet.
"Who... who are you, why did you bring me to his grave?" Harriet asked in a trembling voice.
"Ms Howell, the director, do you still remember me?" asked Billy. At this point, he had already regained his original appearance.
Harriet was stunned again as she heard how Billy called her and turned around.
"How... how is this possible?"
Harriet finally recognized Billy.
"It's impossible, you can't be alive! How can you..."
She never dreamed that Billy would still be alive. If it weren't daytime now, she would have thought she was seeing a ghost. What made her even more desperate was that Billy had become another person who she looked up to five years later. Currently, she figured that no one in Ozin could match him.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you by being alive." Billy shrugged before continuing, "Five years ago when you poisoned my foster father, I bet you didn't think things would turn out like this."
Without any hesitation, Harriet knelt heavily before Billy while shivering uncontrollably.
"I... I'm sorry. I... I was forced by people from the Watkins family... They would have killed me if I hadn't done what they instructed..." Harriet pleaded with him.
"Though my father had no intent to marry you back then, he gave everything else you wanted. He even told me that your name would be in his will if he died in an accident. Or, perhaps in your eyes, he was just greedy for your body, but I knew he was truly into you. If it weren't for my sister's objection to your marriage, he would have married you! He probably never thought, until the moment he took his last breath, that he would die at the hands of the woman he loved most!"
"I'm sorry... please spare my worthless life. I was forced to do it..." Harriet continued to bow deeply.
"Apologize to my father!"
Harriet hurriedly turned around and faced the tombstone.
"Mr Miles, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to harm you. Osmond forced me..."
"In your next life, learn to be content. Don't worry, Osmond will follow you tonight." Billy's voice echoed like a death sentence in Harriet's ears.
"No, no..." Harriet's ghostly voice cried out upon hearing Billy's words.
Everything abruptly stopped as a mist of blood appeared in front of the tombstone. And the next moment, everything returned to calmness once again.
Billy knelt down, his eyes turning red and his voice choking slightly.
