Cheyenne's reaction left Abbie feeling as if she had punched a pillow with all her might.
Since she couldn't anger Cheyenne, she decided to change the topic. Abbie, brimming with arrogance, walked up to Cheyenne.
She looked down on her, her gaze regal like a queen, while Cheyenne appeared like a lowly captive.
Smack.
A powerful slap landed on Cheyenne's fair and flawless cheek, causing it to quickly turn red and swollen.
Cheyenne didn't even furrow her brows, her icy gaze fixed on Abbie, as if saying, "Just you wait."
Abbie's defiant attitude only made her more displeased.
Cheyenne was the one who had been slapped, yet how dare Cheyenne look at her with such an arrogant, domineering gaze?
Who gave her the gall?
Kelvin's pupils slightly contracted; all of his attention was focused on Cheyenne's swollen face, visibly filled with concern.
"Cheyenne."
"Abbie, don't touch her!"
A warning voice resounded in the room, entering Cheyenne's ears, feeling like an unexpected gust of wind blowing into her heart.
After all, chaos had ensued.
The anger and concern in his eyes didn't seem fake. Cheyenne had never imagined that one day Kelvin would stand up to Abbie for her. Nor did she dare to think that he would care about her...
"Kelvin, you can't handle much, can you? You're already feeling heartbroken. Just watch carefully because I'm going to make her feel a hundred times more pain! A thousand times more!"
Abbie grinned maliciously, as if she wanted to hear Cheyenne begging for mercy. For the first time, she tore off the black duct tape covering Cheyenne's mouth.
Her actions were rough.
With her mouth now free, Cheyenne coldly questioned her, "Abbie, I only have one question for you. Where did you get the Misty Forest that you used on me before?"
They were all in their hands now, there was no way they could escape.
Abbie didn't hide anything and answered Cheyenne's question with an arrogant tone, "You didn't expect me to have Misty Forest, did you? Well, I bought it from TWILIGHT."
TWILIGHT!
So she knew about TWILIGHT all along!
After her words fell, both Cheyenne and Kelvin froze.
They had both painstakingly traced and investigated until they discovered the existence of TWILIGHT. The scenes inside had shocked them when they personally explored it.
Abbie, as a "pure and kind" person, shouldn't have been involved with these dark aspects of the world. How did she know about TWILIGHT?
Misty Forest was one of TWILIGHT's three treasures, and it rarely made its way outside.
Cheyenne took a deep breath, and the salty smell of the sea breeze outside entered her throat, causing irritation and dryness. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
With her voice slightly hoarse, she asked, "Did you also kill Jase?"
At the mention of Jase, Abbie scoffed coldly, "I didn't kill him, but he deserved to die! He shouldn't have attempted to find more clues, especially after getting his hands on the sample of Misty Forest."
Misty Forest?
How could Jase have that?
Cheyenne recalled the nurse she had bumped into at the hospital, holding an empty bottle, ready to throw it away.
Now everything made sense.
She had given Misty Forest to Eddie without realizing that officials had assigned Jonathan to secretly investigate "The Hand of God".
TWILIGHT was one of the industries under The Hand of God, and Misty Forest was their preferred tool.
If Jase could find more clues and strike a blow to the Hand of God, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
