Top Assassin with Superpowers Reborn novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 The Devil in Disguise

Clara put on a soft, gentle face, but the killing intent in her eyes was only half-hidden-and Margaret saw right through it.

But Margaret couldn’t have cared less.

Trying to kill me?

Please. I’m the top assassin in the world-the best of the best.

When it comes to taking lives, I’m a pro.

Halfway through the meal, Nichole frowned in confusion. “Anyone seen Beatrice? Why hasn’t she shown up today?”

At her question, the servants’ faces looks at Margaret.

Matthew scowled. “Margaret, what the hell are you doing?”

Margaret set down her fork, turned to Nichole, and spoke clearly, no hint of regret. “I know where Beatrice

is.”

Nichole felt a weird flutter of unease under Margaret’s stare. She pushed it down and forced a kind smile. “Maggie, where did she go?”

“The hospital.”

Nichole’s unease spiked. She tried to sound casual. “Maggie, why’s she in the hospital? Is she sick?”

Margaret’s voice was light, but her words sent chills down everyone’s backs. “I just beat her up. Blood was all over the floor.”

“What?!”

The three at the table froze-all color draining from their faces.

“Here, look at this photo. Isn’t all that blood pretty?”

Margaret grabbed a phone from a servant, pulled up the photos, and tossed the device in front of the three.

On the screen, Beatrice’s face was twisted in pain and teror, one hand clamped over her bleeding ear. Just looking at the picture made people’s blood run cold and their stomachs churn with fear.

Clara and Nichole suddenly felt a cold, heavy air wrap aound them-so suffocating it made their hair stand up. Willwe be next, just like Beatrice?

“Margaret! Have you lost your mind? What did Beatrice ever do to you?! How could you be this cruel! Are

you even human? What’s your problem with her?!”

Matthew stared at the gory picture, stunned, before finally snapping out of it.

This Margaret is totally nuts!

Rage flooded him fast-maybe only by letting anger take over could he push down the faint fear he felt for Margaret.

Margaret’s face stayed calm, but her voice dripped with arrogance. “No problem. I just didn’t like her.

“If any of you got a problem with me, go ahead and call the cops. Let ’em come arrest me.”

She smiled-bright, dazzling. With that pretty face, she looked like a harmless little animal.

Matthew clamped up.

He’d never call the police. If word got out his daughter was crazy, he’d be humiliated.

Besides, even if he did, Edward would just bail her out anyway.

In Matthew’s book, Margaret was definitely insane-a lunatic. How else could she be this ruthless?

She acted like human life meant nothing-cold-blooded enough to scare anyone senseless.

“I’m done eating.”

Margaret stood up, then turned to the stunned Nichole. She piled on the mind games, her voice casual. “Nichole, keep a close eye on your son Jimmy. Would be a shame if something bad happened to him-like dying young.”

Crash!!

Margaret had hit Nichole right where it hurt. Nichole panicked, and the plate slipped from her hand— crashing to the floor and shattering.

Her face went as white as a ghost.

“Margaret! What’s that supposed to mean?! How dare you curse Jimmy!!” Matthew roared, his face twisted with anger as he glared at her.

Margaret still smiled, but there was no warmth in it. “Just a friendly heads-up. After all, people die in accidents every day. Who’s to say who’s next?”

She put on an innocent grin. “Well, I’m such a nice person.”

Margaret turned and walked out of the dining room.

Watching her back, Nichole’s whole body started shakin. She mumbled, jittery, “A devil… She’s a devil. Margaret must be possessed by a devil.”

When it came to breaking someone’s spirit-making them crumble into despair and fear… Margaret was a pro at that too.

After Margaret left the dining room, Nichole threw herself into Matthew’s arms, sobbing-half real, half faked. “Honey, what do we do? I don’t even know what did to tick off Margaret! And our Jimmy’s so little.

He never did anything to her either…”

Nichole looked totally wronged. Her heart was tied up in both hate and fear.

Margaret’s cold eyes as she left kept playing in her head she couldn’t shake them.

Seeing his wife cry so hard, Matthew patted her to comfort her. His voice turned dark and sharp. “It’s okay, don’t worry. She’s just a lunatic! If she dares to touch Jin my even once, I’ll disown her-no second thoughts! I’ll do what’s right, family or not!”
