When she returned home, Vera was still trembling, and she even felt exceptionally cold.
She turned on the heater and got under the quilt.
Probably because of the fright, even with the heater and the quilt, Vera still felt insecure.
Should she tell Quill about the incident? But what if it was just her imagination? She'd be a judgemental woman then. Moreover, Yulia was gasping for air when she came, and her gaze was filled with concern. If Yulia truly wanted to harm her, would she be able to leave the cafe unscathed and chto hide under the quilt? So should she tell Quill about it? Vera's mind was a mess; she couldn't shake off the fear. From what she could tell, Yulia might have actually wanted to harm her but stopped at the critical moment. Perhaps her conscience arrived in time, or she was afraid of bearing the consequences.
However, no matter the outcome, it could be said the idea had crossed her mind at one point.
If Yulia did not save her in time, what would becof her? Vera did not dare envision. She closed her eyes and curled up under the quilt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Yulia cout, she did not look for Vera but went straight to Jasper.
Seeing she had returned, Jasper sat comfortably with his long legs crossed and a faint smile on his lips. "Why are you doing this?!" Yulia walked over and questioned him directly.
Jasper raised his eyebrows and said, "I told you already, haven't I? I want to help you. I'll be at your beck and call. No?" "Did you tellyour plan beforehand?" Furious, Yulia questioned him. "And, I never agreed to that. All there was, was your yapping!" Hearing that, Jasper approached Yulia. He squinted as he scanned her. "What? Are you backing down, or have you gone soft?" Yulia didn't reply to him but only pursed her lips as she stood there.
Before she could register, Jasper went forward and shackled his arms around her waist, leaning closer to her. "Miss Maxwell, are you afraid that people will look down on you if you do this? Or do you think you are so pure and haughty that you're too good for this kind of thing?" Hearing that, Yulia suddenly raised her head. "What do you mean by that?" "Am I wrong?" The smile on Jasper's face was evil. "You don't want to be a disgrace to the Maxwell family, so you couldn't be bothered to do something like this. But have you forgotten? I said I'd help you. I'll do all that you don't dare to but want to. So if this all comes to light, it's all on me, and no sin will befall upon you. What are you afraid of?" While speaking, Jasper fixed her hair. Yulia instinctively avoided his touch, gritting her teeth as she said, "Don't touch me." After that, she took a big step back to maintain a distance from Jasper.
"What a nice way to put it. Do you think I'd be able to walk away if you're caught? Do you really think no one will be suspicious ofeven if you say it's your doing? How naive of you. We are acquainted. Anyone with discerning eyes will know I'm the reason for your actions. So what's the point of you bearing all the consequences?" "Oh?" Jasper raised his eyebrows. "Letget this straight, you're saying, you don't wantto bear all the consequences. Are you feeling bad for me?" "Feel bad for him?" Yulia thought.
She sneered, "What a joke!" There was no way she would fall for such a playboy? He changed girlfriends like he changed socks, and he had no respect for women at all. Even if they were the only people left alive, she would never be with him.
"Then, it's because the great Miss Maxwell is so kind that she's not willing to hurt others?" Yulia looked away. "I'm the least bit of a saint have nothing left; flattery will get you nowhere with me. It's merely because she's pregnant with Quill's child. I told you before I don't want to hurt Quill." "So, as long as she is pregnant, you won't do anything to her? If she is not pregnant, you will take action?" Yulia did not say anything.
Jasper inched closer and added, "Then why didn't you do it earlier?" Hearing that, Yulia held her breath.
"You had so many good opportunities. You should've done something while she still trusted you fully. If you did it secretly, no one would be suspicious of you at all." There was a smile as Jasper spoke as if he was making small talk and not harming someone. Yulia couldn't believe her ears; after taking a deep breath, she said, "You're a madman. I'm done talking to you." After that, she walked away.
Jasper quickly caught up with her and said, "Their wedding is around the corner. If you want to wait until after she gives birth, it'll have to be after the wedding. But do you think there's still any point for you to take action after that?" Jasper's words were tempting, continuously destroying Yulia's willpower. She bit her lower lip hard as she dashed, pretending not to hear his words.
That night.
Quill returned honly to find the house in total darkness; none of the lights were on.
Feeling peculiar, he placed the keys on the entryway table before switching the lights on.
Where had that girl gone? She hadn't sent him any messages the entire day, and the house was in total darkness. Was she still at the restaurant? Quill wondered as he walked up the stairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he assumed she was still in the pasta restaurant, he simply decided to give her a call.
As the call went through, he was pushing the door open. Then he heard Vera's ringtone coming from the bed.
With that, a figure shot right up as if greatly frightened.
"Ah!"
Vera hid under the quilt ever since she chand later fell asleep. agoodm However, she didn't have stamperas in her dream, she was trapped in the washroom with way to escape. Then Yulia approached her with a no ΛΟ stabbing her, letting batter everywhere.
Then Yulia stood there with eyes as cold as death.
"This is what you get for stealing my man." "No!" Vera screamed in her dream, but she had no way to resist. She was like a puppet that could be controlled at will.
What happened after that was gruesome. After she woke up inm fright, she couldn't stop gasping for a. Cold sweat drenched her clothes; even her forehead was not spared.
What was more horrifying was that the room was dark at lark at this time. But the door was suddenly pushed open, and her phone rang at the stime.
All there was in Vera's mind at that moment was her nightmare was brought to life! X
