Chapter 326
As the ill intent wafted in her mind, she could no longer suppress the demon within her. As if she was possessed, she lost control of her own emotions. With that, she grabbed a fruit knife in the living room and hid it in her sleeve. Deranged, she unlocked the door to the room confining Elise.
As Elise, on the other hand, was about to bang on the door, the door was pushed open. When she looked Heather in the eye, she immediately knew the woman in front of her wasn’t the Heather she knew. Although she couldn’t quite put Heather’s shift in behavior into words, her presence undoubtedly put her on edge.
With a still face, Heather stared at Elise for a couple of seconds. She scanned at the latter’s injured hand before stating aloofly, “You’re hurt.”
„Baffled, Elise was only reminded of her injury then, to which she awkwardly replied, “Right. I didn’t even realize it until you mentioned it.” Perhaps it was the stupefaction upon seeing Heather’s sudden change that made her forget the sting on her hand.
With a knowing look, Heather took a step into the room and shifted her body sideways to allow Elise a path out of the room. “I’ll treat it outside. Matt will kill me if anything happens to you.” As she spoke, she carried a tremendous determination within her, which she revealed not on her face, but under her glistening eyes.
As subtle as it was, Elise was able to sense it, and she grew even more cautious. At the same time, she was tempted by her goal, as she had her keen eyes fixated on the main door which was right opposite her bedroom’s door. She would be able to escape once she stormed out the bedroom. Nonetheless, Heather wouldn’t be so kind to let her off. There was no telling if she could still breathe after exiting through the door. However, when she thought of her grandparents and Alexander, she gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.
Under Heather’s scorching gaze, Elise grabbed her injured hand and walked out the room. When she was passing by Heather, her steps subconsciously decelerated.
Heather watched as Elise walked past her. It wasn’t until Elise’s back was fully facing her that she revealed a vicious expression. In a flash, the knife that was in her sleeve was already raised above her head, All she had to do in that instant was stab her. In that case, the blame could be easily deflected by saying the then-dead woman, who was trying to escape, were accidentally murdered in a circumstance where Heather was forced to use a knife after a massive effort of trying to stop her from running. As such, there would no longer be an Elise Sinclair in the world. Simultaneously, Matthew wouldn’t blame her for Elise’s death. Bearing that in mind, Heather grasped
her knife even tighter and held it even higher before going for the forceful stab.
It was a perfect execution, except for the fact that she had forgotten the giant mirror in the living room that was reflecting every detail of her actions. Elise saw the glinting knife in the mirror, and without any contemplation, she dodged the stab with her agility harnessed from years of experience as a veteran racer.
Accordingly, Heather missed her attack. And when she realized it, Elise was already at the living room’s couch. “Why are you trying to kill me?” Elise glowered, unable to take in what just happened.
Heather gnarled her teeth and pointed the knife at Elise. Her facial expression resembled that of the most gruesome demons. “Because you don’t deserve Matthew, and you ruined him! Thus, you should pay for it with your life!” Having said that, she recklessly charged toward Elise.
Due to the injury on her hand, Elise couldn’t attempt to disarm her. She could only run around the couch as she evaded each attack from Heather. Very soon, they ended up in each other’s previous positions, facing each other.
