He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 281

He clutched his chest and collapsed, absolute shock frozen in his eyes as he died.

He had thought he was fleeing to a paradise where he could spend the rest of his life rolling in cash. He never expected to be executed the moment he touched down.

Lydia's phone buzzed again. This time, it was a young man's voice on the line.

"It's handled. You have no loose ends left."

She smiled. "Thank you."

"Is 'thank you' all I get? Lydia, I told you I'd do whatever you asked, but don't you think it's time you threw me a bone?"

Lydia knew this man was dangerous and hard to shake. She took a deep breath. "Tomorrow night. I'll text you the hotel room number."

The man chuckled, taking a deep, satisfied inhale. "Perfect."

After hanging up, Lydia was in a spectacular mood.

With Beatrice dead, Juniper had to be completely shattered, right?

She clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with pure malice.
