Chapter 414
As the breeze outside the window slapped against her face, Louella felt stricken with fear.
She did not want to die just yet.
She wanted to witness how Maia and Jamie would suffer from the consequences they deserved. She wanted to hand Cedrick the video herself!
Jamie swung her by the ankle as he threatened her to hand over the video, all while she struggled to get back inside whilst being hung mid-air. However, the force of his swing was too great as Louella’s ankle somehow slipped from his grasp.
“Aaahhh!”
An ear-piercing shriek echoed through the air, followed by what horrifyingly sounded like a loud thud.
Louella fatally plummeted to the ground as her head bled. Her eyes were still wide open when she stopped breathing.
Maia watched in terror as Louella fell from the window of the seventh floor they were on. “Have you lost your mind?! How are we going to get the video now that you’ve killed her?” she growled.
Jamie felt a freezing chill down his spine as he looked at his hands.
Had he just…murdered someone with his own hands?
Had he just pushed Louella out of the window?
“I… I’ll find it,” stammered Jamie in cold sweat. “What’s important now is to clear both our names. We’ll have to be each other’s alibis later on. I’ll find a way to delete the hotel’s surveillance footage.”
His mind was no longer on the video as he fled the scene hurriedly.
The frustrated Maia stomped her feet, knowing she had no choice but to leave, too. After all, she could not afford to be involved in a murder.
She had to rid herself of it.
