Chapter 473
Richard's eyes were burning as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you still trying to hide from me?"
Tiffany choked.
She had never thought of hiding from him, but she did not know how to face him, so she subconsciously wanted to avoid him.
Tiffany lowered her eyes like a child who had done something wrong. "I'm sorry."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a light knock on the top of her head.
Richard's eyes darkened as he said, "That's not what I want to hear."
On the day of engagement party, she kept saying heartless words. She said that she had never been attracted to him and only treated him as a tool to take revenge on the Harper family. Now that she had completed her mission, she had no use of him. Those words still lingered in his mind. Every time he thought about it, his heart felt like it had been stabbed.
Tiffany felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. However, she raised her head and looked at him steadily. Her face was filled with stubbornness. "If I said that I didn't mean to hurt you that day, would you believe me?"
"I do," Richard said without hesitation.
He looked at her. His handsome face was calm and serious. "I'll believe anything you say."
He had only set his mind on her. Therefore, no matter what happened, he would gladly endure it.
Tiffany sniffed and was about to explain everything that happened that day when there was a commotion in front of the cemetery. There were also a few screams of horror.
Tiffany was worried that something would happen to her father and hurriedly said, "Let's go take a look!"
Richard followed her.
However, when he turned around, his movements froze and he frowned imperceptibly.
When the two of them rushed to the front, they saw the crowd scatter and retreat. In front of everyone, there was a delivery box placed on the table. The sound of beeping could be heard clearly.
Someone shouted, "There's a bomb!"
The crowd retreated in fear.
However, only Charlie went forward to the box.
"Dad!" Tiffany was shocked and rushed over without thinking.
Just as she was about to call Charlie back, she saw that there was a person with a mini bomb tied to his body lying in the large cardboard box.
This person was Eric.
"Eric?" Tiffany's face turned pale. She wanted to rush forward, but someone was faster than her.
Richard reached out and picked up the unconscious Eric from the box. He avoided Charlie and the others and walked straight to the remote and empty place in the cemetery.
As he walked, his slender fingers untied the mini bomb tied to Eric's body.
Tiffany was about to follow when she received a call. She ignored it.
She wanted to move forward, but a red dot landed on her.
The red dot landed on the bag where she had placed her phone.
The others were all running for their lives in a hurry, afraid that they would be involved in the bomb, so no one saw this.
Tiffany took out her phone, but she could not see the caller ID.
She said, "Hello."
"Long time no see, little girl." This familiar voice had a hint of effeminateness.
It was Felix.
Even though she had already thought of it, when she really heard that the call was from him, Tiffany's scalp went numb and her heart sank. She asked, "What do you want?"
Felix laughed even more happily when he heard her.
He said, "I just want to trouble you with one more thing. But don't worry, I won't hypnotize you this time, and I won't hurt you again."
"Did I offend you somehow? Why do you have to threaten me again and again?" Tiffany was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She had never provoked Felix.
Back then, when she was searching for potions in the forest of the border town, she was accidentally pushed down the broken rock by Sandra Olson. Then, she saw Felix in the hot spring.
She did not expect that from then on, he would be coming up with all kinds of ways to deal with her. Back then, he had even sent several groups of assassins to kill her. Initially, Tiffany thought that the person Felix had been targeting might be Richard. However, when she thought about it again, he seemed to be targeting her too. Tiffany asked in a deep voice, "I don't like to beat around the bush. Just tell me, how did I offend you?"
Felix seemed to have laughed. This laughter was meaningful and filled with coldness.
He said, "You'll find out eventually, but before that, you have to remember that you owe me everything. Don't think that just because you've forgotten now, you can avoid paying this debt." "What do you mean?" Tiffany couldn't understand what he meant.
She thought. 'Could it be that I knew Felix in the past?"
Tiffany frowned. He wanted to ask more but was interrupted by him in a deep voice. "You only have two choices now. One, listen to me, or two, sacrifice your family.
"Today, it's your brother. Tomorrow, it could be your father, your mother, and everyone close to you who's related to you. Don't doubt whether what I said is true or not. I can take the risk, but you can't."
At the end of his sentence, he laughed happily.
Tiffany had to restrain herself from cursing. She found him extremely disgusting.
She asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
As she said, she looked around.
In the cemetery, other than a few buildings, the rest were empty spaces.
Judging from the direction of the little red dot, Felix should be in this cemetery.
However, the crowd was scattered at the moment, and the building was too far away. If she chased after the red dot, she was afraid that he would detonate the bomb immediately.
If that happened, Eric would be dead.
Felix clearly sensed Tiffany's intentions. His smile was calm and arrogant. "Put away your thoughts. You will definitely not be able to find me. I forgot to tell you that the bomb will explode in two minutes. You still have one last chance to consider." Tiffany asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you," Felix said with an irrefutable dominance.
Tiffany was so angry that her expression changed. She cursed, "Are you fucking crazy?"
She thought, 'He is a lunatic!'
The corners of Felix's mouth twitched. His expression could not be seen clearly since he was hidden in the darkness. Only his sharp and cold eyes flashed with a beast-like ferocity in the darkness.
He said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow. I want you to be my date for a party. As payment, I'll tell you something. It's about Richard. You're gonna want to hear it."NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
This voice was filled with bewitchment and fatal curiosity.
Tiffany was stunned. Before she could respond, the call was hung up.
There was no room for negotiation. It was not up to her to refute.
