Chapter 165

The man’s tall figure was veiled in the moonlight as if a layer of thin mist draped over him. The cold, silvery light fell on his shoulders as he took long strides forward. His stunning face was heart-stopping, and it captivated Felicia’s gaze. It was Stephan Russell!
He was still carrying a small white puppy in his arms. His long, pale fingers idly pinched the scruff of its neck, keeping it subdued. The puppy didn’t dare to resist, letting out soft whimpers from time to time.
Seeing Stephan appear here made Felicia’s expression shift noticeably.
When did he arrive? How much had he seen?
The happiest person at that time, however, was none other than Shawn Fuller.
When he saw another person show up, Shawn’s first thought was that he might be saved. His eyes twinkled with hope as he yelled, “Help! Please! This wicked girl is trying to kill me!”
The distance from the pit to the waterfall was not long, but a trail had been dragged across the ground, leaving blood stains on the grass.
Shawn was in such a pitiful state, while Felicia’s hands remained clean and firmly in control. One might think this was a crime in process, especially since they had been caught in the act! This was definitely awkward.
Shawn had no idea who the newcomer was. All he knew was that whoever turned up could be his savior.
He immediately called out, “Sir, help me, quick! This witch is trying to kill me! Help me throw her off the cliff, and I’ll pay you a lot of money, okay?”
Felicia was speechless.
Shawn had not noticed how the
tension in the air grew thick after he spoke. Unaware, he kept talking big and urged on. “Come on, hurry up!” I, Shawn Fuller, will keep my word! Get rid of this girl, and I’ll pay you 500 thousand dollars!”
“If that’s not enough for you, I’ll increase it to a million dollars! A million dollars will do, right?”
However, his increasing offers were not responded to, and Shawn finally realized something was wrong. He lifted his head, struggling, to glance at Stephan.
The moment their eyes met, Shawn
felt his heart drop. It was as if his
throat had been clamped shut by an invisible hand. An overpowering murderous intent swept over him, sending chills down his spine and soaking his back with cold sweat.
“You… You’re…”
Shawn’s face went pale. His lips trembled, unable to utter another word.
Stephan ignored him and looked at Felicia calmly. “Do you want me to show you how it’s done?”
“Show me what?” Felicia blinked, momentarily confused.
It wasn’t until she noticed the faint smirk on Stephan’s face that she realized he was offering to demonstrate how to cover up a murder.
Felicia immediately waved her hands. “No need for that.”
She had never planned on killing Shawn that fast. She only wanted him to reveal Lucas’ whereabouts. If Shawn died in such a manner, he would be let off too easily. “Oh…” Stephan sounded a bit disappointed.
Meanwhile, Shawn, who was still
lying on the ground, was not a fool. He realized that his supposed savior was clearly acquainted with Felicia. Judging from the way they
interacted, their relationship seemed to run deep. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken as coldly as she did.
“Now that’s just great. You’re in this together!”
