The woman was so furious that she trembled non-stop, her face void of any color.
Yet, the person over the phone merely laughed.
“Ms. Snow, you said you want to give Susan Jadeson a taste of what it feels like to suffer a fate worse than death, so it’s only natural that we come to such decisions. Besides, weren’t you already prepared for outcomes like these the moment you agreed to be a part of this?”
“You!”
Upon hearing that, the woman found herself unable to retaliate.
But he’s right. It’s already over for me. Why am I still acting like I have the moral high ground? If I were that afraid of getting blood on my hands, I wouldn’t have contacted them in the first place. The fact that I reached out to them means I had already intended to do all this.
The other party hung up without another word.
Susan and Felicia arrived at the nail salon half an hour later.
“Welcome! Are you here to get your nails done?” an employee greeted.
“Yup. Crystal nails for both of us, please.”
Susan immediately mentioned the kind of service she wanted.
The lady readily agreed and led them into the store.
After taking a seat, Felicia said to Susan right away, “Susan, these are the exact same seats we were led to when I followed Zaylynn here.”
Hearing that, Susan nodded and waited for the lady from before to serve them.
Manicures were a popular beauty treatment in today’s age, and many women—including Susan herself—would have visited a nail salon at least once.
That was why Susan thought nothing of all the tools and bottles that the beautician had brought over, and the only thing she looked at was a bottle of clear nail polish.
“Is this what you’ll be using on our nails?”
“That’s right.”
The beautician nodded.
Not asking anything more, Susan and Felicia let the lady work on their nails, and they were done in an hour.
Upon getting up, Susan prepared to get Ian to have Xayden look into the nail polish’s contents.
But just as she walked out of the store and arrived at the roadside, a sudden thought crossed her mind, causing her to stop in her tracks.
