Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1295

Chapter 1295 Misled

In a suburban villa, there resided an old couple nearing the age of 50. Although they were childless, they loved each other very much. Every now and then, they went out traveling to relax. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

As soon as they came back, their neighbors came over to visit.

After they were finished dealing with the neighbors, the old couple went back into their house, but they no longer walked with a lurch as they had just now. Instead, they hurried into the bedroom in light footsteps.

They pressed a button that looked like a small bell on the painting of a puppy lying on its stomach. The next moment, a secret door opened on the wall on the opposite side, and they went directly underground. Then, they took off their disguise, revealing their originally good-looking features.

They were none other than Blood Rose's subordinates, Farren and Anthea. "Miss Blunt, Jewel Fenton has fallen out with Olivia Maxwell." Judging by their voices, they were by no means nearly 50 years old; it was clear that they were in their early twenties.

Blood Rose had been lounging lazily on the couch. The moment she heard this, her eyes lit up. "Who did you hear that from?"

Farren explained with a smile, "I just went to Mason Horne's parents and planted the blame for his death on Olivia as you instructed. Just as expected, they made a scene at the clinic as a result, so I stood by and looked on for a while. Olivia said you took revenge because you held a grudge against Jewel, whereas Jewel replied that if you held a grudge against her, you would've settled the score with her instead of killing Mason. In any case, they had a nasty argument."

Blood Rose's eyes narrowed. "Really? They argued in front of everyone? Could this be some sort of a ploy?"

Farren thought for a moment before recounting every detail of what he had witnessed today. "There were many onlookers at the clinic at the time, plus Mason's parents were demanding an explanation, so perhaps all that noise had gotten on their nerves. At first, Olivia said she had no idea who the murderer was and that they had to wait for the results of the police's investigation. But then, the old couple questioned her as we had taught them to, asking her why their son was strangled to death with a steel wire—the same way in which they had been retaliated against. Why did their son get killed as

soon as he agreed to donate his blood marrow to her son? Wasn't that because of her? Their son got wrongfully murdered while her enemy was retaliating against her, and so on."

He continued, "In any case, they were screaming and wailing in grief. Olivia promised to give them some form of compensation, but when she saw that the couple still wouldn't let up, she started passing the buck, saying that the two previous incidents were related to her friend Jewel. Even if her enemy wanted to get back at her, they wouldn't do so by killing Mason instead. I think she was trying to make the old couple go away. Little did she know, Jewel overheard this and got displeased at once. She said to Olivia, 'You keep saying that I'm your bestie, but now that something happened, you try to dissociate yourself from me. If this had something to do with me, why would they kill the one who was supposed to donate his blood marrow to your son?' Olivia got upset, saying, 'How could you say that? I risked my life to save you back then!' Jewel said that she was going back to her home country tomorrow, that she didn't need Olivia to save her no matter whether she was alive or dead, that this was the end of their friendship, and things like that. After that, the clinic closed its doors, so I couldn't hear what was going on inside."

If Blood Rose had been suspecting at first that this was a trap, she now thought the whole story was melodramatic. I never thought they could argue to such an extent. She let out a sneer, saying, "I thought they were very close when I saw how determined they were to live and die together the other day."

Anthea replied with a smile, "That's right, Miss Blunt. It's really marvelous of you to come up with the trick of getting Mason's parents to make a scene. Olivia was feeling guilty in the first place, and this only made her even more ashamed of herself. So, she had no choice but to use Jewel as a shield, but she didn't expect Jewel to overhear what she said. This time, there was no way she could explain herself anymore. The more desperately the words were spoken, the more sincere they were. Even if they didn't fall out as a result, they would no longer be as close as before."

As soon as she finished her speech, Blood Rose let out a snort of laughter. Holding her chin high like a queen, she said, "So much for sisterly friendship, eh? Their friendship fell apart as soon as I made mischief between them. Ha!"

There were seven other hitmen in the room, who were all her subordinates. Hearing her say that left them naturally licking her boots in every way possible.
