she said to herself.
Jenifer's hatred grew.
All of a sudden, her eyes narrowed and her face distorted in a spiteful, sinister smile. She turned off the video and tossed her phone hatefully on the chair next to her. Then she picked up the cup placed in front of her and started savoring the coffee inside. Her mind still lingered on what she had seen on the video, with her heart full of hostility and hatred.
'Brian, Molly, you didn't only hurt my brother, but also Edgar, both of whom I care so much. So don't expect me to show you any mercy. You must pay for what you did!' she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Then somebody came knocking at the door.
"Come in!" she exclaimed in her high, vibrant voice as she glanced at the door.
The door slowly opened, and a woman entered furtively in her light and inaudible footsteps. Her eyes scoured quickly around the room, after noticing that Jenifer was alone, her face exalted a sign of relief. She turned around and closed the door quietly to avoid anyone from noticing and came straight to Jenifer. "I saw Edgar took Steven. Steven was just coming out of the Sunset Town at that time," she bent over to whisper and inform Jenifer.
"Really?" Jenifer cried. Apparently, the news intrigued her.
There was a cunning, sinister smile on her face again. "I didn't expect Steven and Daniel would come out of the farm. There must be something that we don' know," she said suspiciously.
"That's what intrigued me," the woman continued. She looked at Jenifer slyly under her rough and slack eyelids. "It was very strange that Molly came to the farm yesterday in the middle of the night. What's even stranger is that I only saw her getting off the car. I had no idea who drove her there. There must be someone else in the car." she said, contemplating.
Jenifer listened as he slowly sipped the coffee from her cup. The savory and mellow smell wafted in the air. It made the whole atmosphere snuggish and cozy, manifesting the vivid contrast against the conspiracy and detestation in their hearts. There was silence in the room for some time. Each of them seemed to be absorbed in their own thoughts. Then suddenly, a queer, chilly light came into Jenifer's eyes. "I got it, you can leave now," she slightly lifted her head in defiance and said to the woman.
"Understood," the woman blurted in astonishment.
After getting out of her trance, she looked down at Jenifer with a smile of grimace, turned around and went out of the room.
When the door halted after getting closed, Jenifer jumped to her feet and hurried to sit down in front of her computer. The information that the woman provided her thrilled her. A new idea gradually formed in her mind. It was a more dangerous and cruel idea, even more exciting than her original plan. Her body shuddered with desire, her mind determined to try it out. After the computer screen lit on, a document appeared. It was something she had been preparing and drafted for a long time.
