"I will drag you to hell if I die!" He growled the words, and it felt like a hammer smashing her heart. For a while, her brain turned blank.
At the foot of the mountain...
Through her night vision binoculars, Jenifer watched Brian and Molly flirting. Her lips twitched with a hint of mockery as she put the binoculars down and took her phone out. The call went through and with an icy tone, she said, "Mr. Yan, I've taken care of the first part of the plan. The rest is up to you."
Justin chuckled but his face hardened. "Ah, so we can pull out two thorns in our flesh this time. Then we can relax," he said.
Her laughter stopped him momentarily. "It's too early to jump to that conclusion. I don't think Mr. Brian Long came here alone," Jenifer advised him.
She ended the call with a brittle laugh. Jenifer walked down the hilltop opposite Phoenix Mountain. Everything she did had a purpose. After being told Molly had left the hospital, she borrowed Edgar's car and drove around town in search of the woman. When she found her, there was only one goal, and that was to let Brian know Molly got off from Edgar's car.
She knew very little about Mr. Brian Long. But she knew what men were like, especially when it came to women they love. They wanted to control everything, and jealousy consumed them where their beloved was concerned. No matter how smart they were, men were all the same when it came to love. Jenifer was sure Brian would come to Molly's rescue as long as he still loved her. Even if he knew he could be falling into a trap.
She kept running the plan in her head as she made her way down to the bottom of the hill. Someone was running towards her. Jenifer halted when she recognized who it was.
Edgar slowed down when he passed Jenifer but continued to rush up to the mountain.
"It's too late," Jenifer called out with a sneer as she watched him slowly take off. Shots continued to be fired without pause, making Edgar pause. "You should know the fighting between the conservative and reformist factions have been very intense. Brian stirred things up, so both factions want him killed."
Her words caught Edgar's attention. He suddenly turned around and looked at her fiercely through his glasses. "I don't care about him. But how dare you use Molly to seduce him! I promise you this. I will kill you if anything happens to Molly," he yelled at Jenifer.
The threat given, Edgar ran towards the mountain without turning back. He left Jenifer clenching her fists and face distorted in fury.
As she watched him disappear, she growled, "Let's see who will win!" Then she sprinted towards the mountain, too. As one of the excellent soldiers in the female special force, Jenifer could compete with men when it came to physical capabilities. Her advantage over Edgar was her familiarity with the terrain. It didn't take long for her to catch up with him, even with his headstart. When she was less than five meters away from Edgar, Jenifer put on a burst of speed then jumped to kick him from behind.
